In his book "Game of Mates", Cameron Murray argues that a select group of powerful individuals, aka "mates", work in collusion to control economic "rents" or favors, leading to a rent-seeking economy. Murray explains that powerful individuals are able to influence government policy to benefit their own interests. These lobbying efforts hinder competition and innovation -- hurting the wider population. (Perhaps conversely) Prof. Dr. Murray abdicates FOR "rent control" measures in our dwellings and habitation. The economic "RENTS"/favors in this case accrue to tenants – and away from landlords/ investors. Dr. Bock, is interviewer, grew up in rent-controlled housing and has a different perspective. What makes investing in real estate open for regulation and redistribution, versus other investments, e.g. in the stock market? We cover these questions and a few quick "surprise" questions from Prof. Murray's former advisor Prof. Paul Frijters

Ari Joffe is a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and a clinical professor at the University of Alberta. He has gained recognition for advocating for a more balanced approach to managing the pandemic that takes into account both the direct and indirect harms of lockdowns and school closures.

At age 19, Michael Yon successfully completed Green Beret training. His Green Beret experience taught him the art of observing and surviving in the most dangerous environments on earth. Combining his skills as a writer and a photographer, and with the encouragement of fellow veterans, Michael began his correspondent career by traveling to Iraq in December of 2004. That was the first step in his nearly 20-year journey—traveling the globe to report on world events firsthand. He has traveled to more than 80 countries including China, India, Bhutan, and Vietnam.

In this rebroadcasted video, former UK trade department consultant Jeffrey Peel discusses various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including his frustration with government policies, forced medical interventions, and censorship of dissenting views. Peel questions the need for lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccination programs and their impact on society, with many deaths allegedly caused by government interventions and the fear campaign. He also discusses the relationship between drug companies, regulators, and the government as it relates to the COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting the potential for cronyism and the misapplication of COVID-19 measures such as masks and lockdowns. Finally, Peel and Randall O'Toole promote their works, with Peel recommending thenewhera.uk for interviews and long-form content and Randall Parker recommending his book "Overturning Zika: The Pandemic That Never Was."

Simon Goddek: "In January 2021, I wrote two Twitter threads on the peer-review procedure of Christian Drosten’s scientific publication about the Covid PCR test that formed the basis for the current political agenda. As an Editor of a Scientific Journal, I will give you some more insights into scientific peer-review processes and why fraudulent manipulation concerning Drosten’s PCR paper most likely took place in the Journal of publication “Eurosurveillance”. "After almost three years, the journal is still shrouded in silence. The scandal has still not been dealt with transparently. Nor has any legal action been taken against Drosten or Eurosurveillance. The German “Corona Ausschuss”, which claims to want to defend itself legally against the “Corona Dictatorship”, had more than two years to tackle this scandal but instead preferred to meditate live online and online make music or make empty promises. It seems that the network of actors is vast and closely intertwined. I do not believe this fraud will be solved, which has allowed taking the whole world hostage, but I do not give up hope. The more people know about this fraud, the more likely it is that something like “justice” will arrive one day." In this YouTube video titled "Simon Goddek "How Scientific Fraud took the World Hostage"", Simon Goddek shares his experience of questioning the measures taken by governments during the COVID-19 pandemic and how he discovered scientific fraud in a journal, resulting in harsh backlash from virologists. Goddek also discusses his beliefs regarding failed predictions made by Christian Drosten, the concept of secondary use of medicines, and the silencing of scientists on social media platforms on topics including nutrition and Omega-3. Additionally, he speaks about the fear that the same people who caused suffering during the pandemic will discriminate against those who disagree with them, especially with the implementation of climate lockdowns and the social credit system, and emphasizes the importance of spreading the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYosxjplKls

Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the most prevalent neuropsychiatric label in childhood, a valid medical condition? Should we really refer to the millions of children diagnosed with ADHD as children who suffer from the "diabetes of psychiatry" — a chronic and harmful biological condition that must be treated regularly with powerful psychoactive substances? Building on previous critiques, this thorough, elegant, and mainly courageous book answers these questions through a step-by-step rebuttal of the scientific consensus about ADHD and its first-line treatment with stimulant medications. While maintaining scientific rigor, this book is written in a clear, creative, and flowing way, using colorful examples — some funny, some tragic — which sweep the reader and inspire social change. The book integrates key critiques into one consolidated source, uncovers massive evidence against the efficacy and safety of stimulant medications, and offers principal solutions to this burning socio-educational problem. But most importantly, this book reviews dozens of reliability and validity gaps in the overriding biomedical consensus. It exposes multiple biases and non-parsimonious bandages (unjustified rationalizations) aimed at hiding the scientific holes of the consensus and it redefines ADHD as a non-pathological quality/mode-of-thought that has both weaknesses and strengths. In this way, the book serves as the missing needle required to pierce the over-blown theoretical balloon commonly known as ADHD. Clinical psychologist Yaakov Ophir argues "ADHD is Not an Illness and Ritalin is Not a Cure" that ADHD is not a disease, and medication is not a long-term solution. Ophir believes that ADHD is a collection of traits common among creative and curious individuals and that accommodations, such as personalized education plans and lifestyle modifications, are more effective solutions to managing ADHD. He also discusses the validity of the disorder and how it is being diagnosed, the over-diagnosis of the disorder, the gender gap in diagnoses, and the issues that come with treating ADHD with stimulant medications like Ritalin. Ophir suggests taking a holistic view of medicine and focusing on the individual capabilities of children to improve the way ADHD is managed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRcq0tpTC_A&t=53s

"biology has been distorted and oversimplified. This contortion has then been utilized for ulterior motives like profit." JJ Couey discusses a range of topics in this video, from his background as a neurobiologist to his thoughts on the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. Throughout the video, Couey emphasizes the importance of curiosity and imagination in scientific discovery and education. He also questions aspects of the current education system and highlights the limitations of testing and research methodologies. Couey expresses skepticism about the pandemic, warning about the power of big Pharma and calling for caution in accepting exaggerated dangers presented by the bio-pharmaceutical industrial complex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVOuyLROhnA

The book grew out of Gabrielle Bauer's deep concerns about the pandemic lockdowns, mandates, and "Covid culture". Remember the early days, told to "follow the science"?Ms. Bauer wondered: "Why are only scientists being consulted? Where are the mental health experts to tell us how social isolation will affect our most vulnerable, both young and old? Where are the economists to insist on a cost-benefit analysis? Where are the ethicists to weigh in on the appropriate balance between risk avoidance and personal autonomy?"These perspectives, so often missing in the Covid discourse, carry no less weight than the epidemiologic one.

"Governance on every level has reached a gruesome nadir. Western elites entrenched in both international and national bureaucracies have been accorded the power to abuse any kind of health scare to deprive populations of their liberty and impose massive financial costs on them to boot. These ‘deep state’ bureaucracies have intertwined themselves simultaneously with each other and with big business, producing a complicated, organic patchwork of links seemingly impossible to untangle, akin to the storied Gordian Knot. A radically different model is one in which part of the social contract involves citizens both producing and vetting news, underpinned by the recognition that media is such a vital public good that it is reasonable to press the public itself into its direct production and quality control."

MARVEL comics, FLASH writer Mike Baron is the victim of a false-flag mass reporting campaign that resulted in Kickstarter's (unjustly) banning him. Daily Kos' Starr Mignon, not content with defaming Mike Baron with the R-WORD, ended her incendiary article with a call to shut down Baron's fundraising efforts. Neither one ever read the comic book! Markos Moulitsas Zúniga admitted the same. Mr. Baron is not only skilled, but erudite:"One faction of the population simply cannot TOLERATE the other. There are two types of people, those who want to be left alone and those who simply will not leave them alone.… And the people who won't leave them alone will do ANYTHING for power. The average American has his hands full doing his job, taking care of his family may be kicking back a little bit on the weekends. But this a certain class of people who spend their waking time scheming on how to get power over others". In this case From the comic book: "PRIVATE AMERICAN follows Marcos Zamora, a patriotic, first generation Cuban-American and a former Army Green Beret, as he and his partner Gustavo battle criminals crossing the southern border, including cartels, human traffickers, Iraqi, Afghan, and Lebanese terrorists, and enemies of the state who are taking advantage of the border chaos to bring in desperate migrants, fentanyl, and suitcase bombs, leaving thousands of victims spread across the landscape."
