Prefatory Note Given the subject matter discussed below, I believe it prudent to state at the outset that I am not at all opposed to vaccinations themselves: indeed, I have received a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as all other normal-course vaccinations recommended for someone my age. Yet there are, it seems to me, interesting, difficult questions surrounding the state’s role in promoting or mandating vaccines. The goal here is to start a conversation not about the effectiveness of vaccines, but about the individual’s sphere of autonomy and what kinds of medical decisions are within it, and...

Cops Kill Man
Iraq War Vet Given the Abu Ghraib Treatment to Death "The two-hour-long tape shows what led up to the moment Edwards, a decorated veteran who served in Kosovo and Iraq, was strapped in a chair for 16 minutes, as he seemed to struggle to breathe, his chest heaving and his restrained body convulsing. Although the video has no sound, Edwards seemed to be either yelling, coughing or gasping under the sheer white hood deputies put over his head to keep him from spitting. Jail staff periodically glanced through the windows of his cell but did not enter as Edwards struggled. Nearby, deputies...
Lazy Hawks Blame Russia for Everything
On FPF #525, I discuss Trump's decision to withdraw 12,000 troops from Germany. Washington hawks dusted off the worn-out Russiagate narrative to try to drum up fear that Trump was sacrificing the country's security to his master Putin. Trump's move is minor as the US will continue to deploy 24,000 troops to Germany and 10,000s of others in countries surrounding Russia. Only about 6,400 troops will be coming home; the rest will redeploy to Europe. While Trump likely decided to withdraw troops over his issues with Germany's leader Angela Merkle. Trump bringing any number of American troops...
Fearful Cops Handcuff 10 Year Old Girl During Traffic Stop
From the Free Thought Project Rochester, NY — A video posted to Facebook this week has caused quite the ruckus after a 10-year-old girl was handcuffed during a traffic stop on Sunday. The mother of the little girl, Aqueelah Sovereign El Bey is now demanding justice. According to police, they initiated a traffic stop on Sunday over an expired inspection sticker. El Bey and her family are among those who do not believe the United States government and other state policies and laws apply to them, otherwise known as sovereign citizens. So, they don’t believe they must pay for these...

Putting Sugar in a Gas Tank is Easy
That's what I would do if some scumbag ripped me off like this. And that's if I'm in a good mood. Smashing a window or slashing a couple tires is pretty easy too. And I hear the cops have decided to stop enforcing laws against such acts in a few major cities already. CNN: People Are Luring Instacart Shoppers With Big Tips -- And Then Changing Them to Zero Instacart must really hate their employees to allow this to continue. I wonder why Instacart wants a national reputation as a business that helps their customers steal from their employees? Does that seem like smart PR to...
