Check this out: Give Walter Block a Pay Raise

There is a petition demanding that Dr. Walter Block be fired on the grounds that he is “racist and sexist.” These ridiculous claims ought to be shut down for their nonsense. Dr. Walter Block DID NOT and DOES NOT argue that slavery isn’t morally wrong, and believes the so-called “pay gap” — to the extent that it exists — is explained by the economic choices made by men and women. To call Dr. Block a racist and a sexist is defamatory to the highest level. It is utterly absurd to assert that Dr. Block believes “slavery isn’t morally wrong” and that “women don’t deserve to be paid and treated equally.” This stems from a libelous New York Times article and insane twisting of his words. As compensation for being raked over the coals by many over the last decade, we demand that the wonderful Dr. Walter Block not be fired, but given a RAISE. He is a beacon of liberty in our time, and ought to be treated as such.

Give Walter Block a raise.

Every vote counts!

Novardok: Attack Therapy

Wikipedia’s article on “Attack Therapy” is missing mention of Yeshiva “Beit Yosef- Novardok” in France, founded by Rabbi Gershon Libman.

They “tear down to rebuild”…

An excerpt \ intro:

Attack therapy was one of several pseudo-therapeutic methods described in the book Crazy Therapies. It involves highly confrontational interaction between the patient and a therapist, or between the patient and fellow patients during group therapy, in which the patient may be verbally abused, denounced, or humiliated by the therapist or other members of the group.

A 1990 report by the Institute of Medicine on methods for treating alcohol problems suggested that the self-image of individuals should be assessed before they were assigned to undergo attack therapy; there was evidence that persons with a positive self-image may profit from the therapy, while people with a negative self-image would not profit, or might indeed be harmed.

Consider Casting a Vote for the Counter-Corona Craze Party?

It’s called “Ometz“.

Here is their site.


Needless to say, I take no sides on voting in general or in particular.

Even if you assume they won’t get in and wish to make your voice heard, be aware there is still a certain risk.

As they themselves concede:

Note that even if a certain party does not pass the blocking percentage, the votes it received are not “thrown away” – as it is enough to receive 1% of the votes to win funding for the party’s current activities.

In the last election, this amount was 44,101 votes.

‘Everything in Moderation, INCLUDING Moderation’

William Lloyd Garrison, anti-slavery Abolitionist (Liberator, January 1, 1831):

I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire, to give a moderate alarm: tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — and I will be heard.
