Five Ways How You Can Fight Back in The Cultural Civil War
Many of us don’t realize the power we actually have. Everyday we are voting with our wallets, for example. Spending money with business you like and who like you, and not spending it with those who hate you, makes a big difference, for example.

Freedom is Good for Science

Trump Commutes Roger Stone’s Sentence
President Trump has commuted the prison sentence of Roger Stone, who briefly worked on his campaign and became one of the targets of the ‘Russiagate’ probe of special counsel Robert Mueller.
After the probe could not find any evidence for the allegation that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election, Mueller started to go after various associated of Trump for accusations that were mostly unrelated to the probe.
Roger Stone had been sentenced to over three years in prison by an anti-Trump judge in a trial that was largely seen as political. The judge also issued a gag-order against Stone, which meant that he was not allowed to defend himself against false accusations by carrots media outlets. Facebook also recently banned Stone, this further curtailing his ability to correct the record.
A commutation is not a pardon, though, which means that the conviction still stands and Stone can continue to appeal it.

Where are the Deaths?
The drum beat to halt the reopenings gets louder by the day. It should be resisted.
While fear-focussed media emphasizes the increase in cases, they completely ignore the decline in deaths. The two in combination indicate, however, that the Wuhan-Coronavirus is becoming ever less dangerous.

CDC Numbers Show Coronavirus FAR Less Deadly Than Thought
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has calculated that the actual number of coronavirus infections is at least ten times higher than previously assumed. The calculation was made based on antibody tests, which can show whether a person has been exposed to the virus in the past and built immunity.
This is good news in two ways:
1. It means that most people who get infected have very mild or no symptoms at all, as most were not aware that they had Coronavirus and could not remember being sick during the last several months.
2. It means that Covid-19 is nowhere near as deadly as previously assumed, as the lethality rate has to be divided at least by ten, compared to previous calculations.

Nashville Business Owners Suing State and Local Government Over Wuhan-Virus Restrictions
While Nashville mayor John Cooper called upon thousands of people to attend rallies contrary to his own demands that people distance and avoid gatherings of more than 25 people, his administration cracked down hard on small businesses that did not observe every detail of his petty Covid-instructions.
Some Nashville businesses, which are in danger of not surviving the mayor’s shutdown, have now filed a lawsuit against the mayor and the governor.

The Data is in: Lockdowns Were Bad For Both Employment AND Health – So Don’t Repeat This Mistake!
A comparison of states that issued stay at home orders and those that didn’t, shows that the ones who treated their citizens as adults and did not order them to stay at home or cease to work, did better both economically, as well as healthwise and have lower death rates.
