L'essayiste québécois analyse ce qu'il appelle la vision diversitaire du monde, une forme de terrorisme intellectuel qui, dans les pays occidentaux, inverserait le devoir d'intégration en faisant droit aux revendications issues de minorités ethniques. Il pointe une poussée racialiste, dont la radicalité serait propice à un nouveau totalitarisme se revendiquant de la lutte contre l'intolérance.

A smallpox epidemic begins in a whisper with a single death, and then the name of the victim surfaces: Abdulaziz al-Sherhi. In a nation rich in imagination, this name requires none at all. In the weeks that follow, the epidemic fears crescendo into a national roar. People panic about dying from this horrific terrorist-incited disease and clamor for a vaccination. Maggie Rider, a weary road warrior for a high-tech company, submits to the shot only to realize this is no ordinary immunization.

A few months before the virus slammed the world, global public health experts declared the United States the most prepared for a possible pandemic. Instead, we watched as the disease killed half a million Americans. A stunned nation has been too busy grieving and doing damage control to ask why, or to comprehend just how much of the blundering and chaos of the pandemic response was either deliberate or entirely predictable. New York Times best-selling author Nina Burleigh weaves together the key narrative strands to create an uncompromising and highly informed expose.

Despite advances in health care, infectious microbes continue to be a formidable adversary to scientists and doctors. Vaccines and antibiotics, the mainstays of modern medicine, have not been able to conquer infectious microbes because of their amazing ability to adapt, evolve, and spread to new places. Terrorism aside, one of the greatest dangers from infectious disease we face today is from a massive outbreak of drug-resistant microbes.

Mind Viruses: America's Irrational Obsessions shows in meticulous detail how the COVID-19 “crisis” and every other “crisis” that has afflicted the US and the West since 2001 have all followed the same script. We are told that some terrifying new threat is coming to get us, and that we must trust and obey central authority to protect us. We are then presented with a “solution” that will save us. “Salvation” requires accepting the suspension of our constitutional rights and the transfer of trillions of dollars in public money to the interests that supply the countermeasures.

Something is very wrong with our world—drag queen story hour, trans child genital mutilations, soaring inflation, bio-lab-released pandemics, experimental drugs forced on the public, toxic food, a national health crisis, endless wars, open borders, rising crime, election manipulation, the infringing of rights, and relentless lies from media and government. Something is wrong, and it’s being coordinated. This dangerous conflict is reaching a boiling point in the West.

Alla fine del 2019, i medici degli ospedali di Wuhan, nella Cina centrale, si trovano ad affrontare una strana sindrome respiratoria che pare legata al grande mercato ittico della città, dove oltre al pesce si vende ogni tipo di animale commestibile, vivo o morto. Mentre i malati si moltiplicano e alcuni soccombono a una polmonite virale particolarmente aggressiva, i laboratori riescono rapidamente a isolare il responsabile della malattia: è un nuovo coronavirus, simile a quello della SARS che tra il 2002 e il 2003 aveva spaventato il mondo.

The pandemic has been orchestrated by a cabal of billionaires, known as “the Good Club,” to initiate history’s greatest transference of wealth and to further the globalization of poverty. The virus was created in military laboratories within the United States as a biological weapon. Even the riots have been staged.

Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 — known to be one of the most sweeping and strict anti-immigration state laws passed in the United States — caused tremendous upheaval in Bob Worsley’s religious community in Mesa, Arizona. Deeply troubled by the blatantly racist and anti-immigrant rhetoric swirling in public political discourse, Worsley ran for state senator in 2012 against the previous Senate president and author of SB 1070, and won.

Two decades ago I wrote a book about my life, entitled My Pet Virus: The True Story of a Rebel Without a Cure. At 30, I had the wonderful opportunity to, in writing, share my perspective on growing up with hemophilia, contracting HIV (just in time for puberty!) and getting kicked out of public school in 1987. Near-death experiences and life-changing relationships make the book's story more than just my own tale. Now, I'm fresh into my 50s. I take one pill a day for HIV and I can't transmit the virus. Advances in hemophilia treatment have literally given me the healthiest physical body I've ...
