Correcting Dangerous Tendencies Through Science, Free Speech, and Food Independence

On Flag Day, June 14, 2023, Kim Monson examines the dangerous tendencies threatening American liberty, from authoritarian science and CDC overreach to attacks on food production. Dr. James Lyons-Weiler exposes the poverty of top-down science, while sixth-generation rancher Trent Loos warns about deliberate destruction of agricultural infrastructure and the lessons of Stalin’s manufactured famine. Authoritarian Science and the New Open Society Start listening at 27:00 – Hour 1 Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, founder of IPAC-EDU and author of Popular Rationalism on Substack, sounds the alarm on what he calls authoritarian science. Drawing from philosopher Karl Popper’s 1944 work “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” Lyons-Weiler has written five articles outlining how to protect American society from undue influence through channels like the World Economic Forum or World Health Organization. The CDC’s response to COVID exemplifies this authoritarian approach. Lyons-Weiler points to outgoing CDC Director Rochelle Walensky’s congressional testimony claiming that confidence in the agency is growing. “She is so out of touch,” he explains. “The United States public does not trust the CDC.” When Fauci declared “I am science,” it stripped bare the veneer of decades of top-down dictates masquerading as scientific consensus. True science respects the “wisdom of the minority,” much like the UK Parliament’s loyal opposition. Lyons-Weiler emphasizes that everyone has a right to be wrong and to express their opinions. His new courses at IPAC-EDU on autoimmunity and the microbiome teach people to understand their own health so they can stand up to those lying about it. “Make sure that the decisions that you make, the positions that you hold, the thoughts that you have are your own intrinsic and trusted goodness in your own mind and heart. And from that, go forward. Don’t follow. Lead yourself.” Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, Founder of IPAC-EDU Protecting Food Production from Manufactured Scarcity Start listening at 70:00 – Hour 2 Trent Loos, a sixth-generation Nebraska farmer and rancher, has spent over two decades exposing how animal rights organizations exploit public emotion while spending less than half a percent of their revenue on actual animals. His deep research into Stalin’s Ukraine famine reveals chilling parallels to current policy. An estimated 10 to 60 million people died because Stalin eliminated food production through collective farming, forcing peasants to vote for their own destruction through fear. America faces similar threats today. The mothballing of coal-fired power plants, exemplified by the recent Delta, Utah closure, means the nation cannot maintain uninterrupted electrical supply as demand outpaces production. Meanwhile, the Air Force has announced plans to fast-track citizenship for illegal immigrants willing to enlist, raising serious concerns about military loyalty and national security. On a positive note, Loos praises the Brush, Colorado School Board for rejecting the National Teachers Union’s anti-capitalism stance. When the union announced it would no longer allow teachers to discuss capitalism positively, Brush created its own resolution to teach kids “what’s really important in getting along in life.” “We need to respect human life. We need to be resilient. And as we talk about celebrating Flag Day, and we talk about June 14, 1777, we would not be talking about this if it were not for the bravery of one school teacher from Wisconsin, Bernard Sigurand.” Trent Loos, Sixth-Gen...
