Reason magazine is the monthly print magazine of “free minds and free markets.” Founded in 1968, the magazine became a mainstay of libertarian, anti-government thought, news and commentary.

But libertarian critics of Reason have long noted certain blind spots in Reason’s coverage. Reason never, ever delved into any “conspiracy theory” questions or analysis of deep-state agendas which might extend beyond conventional politics on display in mainstream news sources. Never did Reason question official narratives regarding climate change, the JFK assassination, 9/11, the 2020 election, or other taboo topics.

Reason’s “science” editor Ronald Bailey makes sure to never write about NOAA’s fabrication of temperature data, or the possibility that COVID-19 was just a strain of flu that was trumpeted by an orchestrated agenda to impose global digital ID mandates.

But it seems that the deep state’s social-credit agenda has caught up with Reason; and Reason is now threatened with serious consequences for simply offering any libertarian content. On February 14, Reason’s Robby Soave reported that a global disinformation spotting’ institution (one of dozens that seem to have suddenly popped up in the last 5 years) had labeled Reason one of the “ten riskiest online news outlets.”

And the alleged ‘disinfo tracker,’ is government funded. Specifically, the “Global Disinformation Index” (GDI), a British organization that “evaluates news outlets’ susceptibility to disinformation” with the aim of persuading online advertisers to blacklist dangerous publications,” is funded with millions of dollars from the U.S. State Department.

Robby Soave pointed out that GDI’s alleged criteria for identifying ‘disinformation’ is less than objective and contradictory. And every single one of the “riskiest online news outlets” share a common trait: they produce anti-government content. Thus, while the “index” purports to be a tool for evaluating the accuracy of news, it is actually a tool for deplatforming information sources which governments disagree with.

California’s beautiful shores, mountains and landscapes have historically been naturally inviting to millions. But in recent decades, the State government has sought to transform the Golden State into a socialist utopia. California has some of the world’s highest taxes, and some of the most onerous business regulations.

During the 2020 COVID-19 panic, California government officials imposed some of the most extreme lockdowns and mandates found anywhere on earth. Schoolchildren are still not allowed to attend public schools unless they submit to injections of government-approved “vaccine” products.

More recently, the California legislature has discussed imposing extreme wealth taxes on millionaires and billionaires.

The result is that hundreds of thousands of the most creative and productive Californians have pulled their kids out of public schools and fled to freer states. This flight of productivity is cratering California’s tax revenues, and the state public pension funds will soon be in dire straights.

According to a January 2023 Rasmussen poll, 56% of U.S. voters prefer that the U.S. government shut down rather than raising the debt ceiling. See here.

The Bronx. Jan. 16. America’s 3 million nurses were on the front lines of the alleged COVID-19 “pandemic” over the past three years. These nurses likely became the most naturally-immune segment of the population from the earliest months of the outbreak in 2020.

Then came December 2020, when the government and Big Pharma rolled out alleged mRNA “vaccines.” Soon President Biden issued executive orders mandating vast swaths of the industry must submit to experimental MRNA injections. Thousands more quit, were fired for refusing, or became injured from the shots.

Now it is reported that 100,000 nurses left the U.S. medical system between 2020 and 2021.

Rio De Janeiro. Dec. Many international observers report that Brazil is currently undergoing a communist-style takeover along the lines of Russia’s October Revolution in 1917 (just as many countries are currently undergoing communist-style takeovers). Elections have been rigged. Opponents of the government have fled or are in hiding. And now key officials have begun rounding up dissidents.

Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes–a close friend and ally of Brazil’s socialist president Lula–“continues to crack down on the pro-Bolsonaro opposition ahead of the scheduled communist takeover Jan. 1.” Moraes has issued arrest orders for vocal opposition speakers such as Indigenous Chief Serere Xavante, Pastor Fabiano Oliveira and federal deputies Carlos Von and Capitão Assumção on charges of “undemocratic acts.”

Justice Moraes blocked hundreds of anti-government posts on social media, seized bank accounts of dissidents, and issued numerous arrest warrants for critics of the government–without the authority of Brazil’s justice department.

But while Xavante, Oliveira and Assumcao have been rounded up, several other noteworthy dissidents have fled. Comedians Eustáquio and Fugazza “are now in hiding or on the run. They were seen at the protests outside the Presidential Alvorada Palace in Brasilía recently, where the Federal Police have been looking for them.”
