"Plandemic" or The Hand of God? - Description

"Plandemic" or The Hand of God? Occasional Thoughts on The Coronavirus by Sean Gabb First edition published in September 2020 Read whole text here for free, or buy in hard copy here on Amazon. Introduction This short book makes two points: First, the Coronavirus has so far killed no more people than a seasonal influenza. Bearing in mind the use of statistical methods bordering on the fraudulent, it may have killed fewer than seasonal flu. For this reason, the Lockdown and the obsessive social distancing have been grossly disproportionate reactions. Second, the Coronavirus panic is accelerating a set of changes that might otherwise have taken a decade or a generation, and these are mainly to the advantage of ordinary people. The move to homeworking insulates us from corporate serfdom. Anyone… READ MORE

Introduction This short book is a collection of essays written and published during the Coronavirus Panic of 2020. Some of these had a wide circulation. One was viewed, on the main site where it appeared, more than a hundred thousand times. None was viewed fewer than five thousand times. I have, moreover, several writers for the Establishment media on my distribution list. Though, since I came to their notice during the Iraq War, the rule is that I can be copied but never acknowledged, I was pleased to see arguments and sometimes whole sentences reproduced for… READ MORE

The Coronavirus: “Plandemic” or The Hand of God? (2020), by Sean Gabb

The Coronavirus: “Plandemic” or The Hand of God? Sean Gabb 8th September 2020 Piers Corbyn, I will explain for my overseas readers, is the elder brother of Jeremy Corbyn. He has so far been most notable for his disbelief in the “climate change” propaganda and for his desire to leave the European Union. As might be expected, he is also a firm civil libertarian. On Saturday the 29th August 2020, he presided over a demonstration in Trafalgar Square against the laws brought in to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. This demonstration was attended by thousands of people, and one of the speakers was David Icke, once a football player, then a sports presenter on television – nowadays the most resolute and entertaining advocate of the shape-shifting lizard theory of… READ MORE

Chris R. Tame: An Appreciation (2006), by Sean Gabb

Chris R. Tame: An Appreciation Speech Given in Brussels January 2006 A movement is not simply a matter of ideas. It must also be a sociological fact. It needs people as a repository of those ideas – people with a sense of continuity. So long as there are these people, the movement can continue under the most difficult circumstances. But take away those people, and the movement dies. When Chris came to libertarianism in the early 1970s, the British movement was effectively dead and had been so for at least a generation. He recreated the movement, and then kept it going. That in itself is a vast achievement. Many other libertarian organisations – all with short lives. To see the scale of his achievement, let us speak in negative terms.… READ MORE

Speech Given to Conservative Future, Sean Gabb, 16th February 2009 (Swedish Version)

English original here Detta är ett tal som hölls för Conservative Future den 16 februari 2009 av Sean Gabb, direktör för Libertarian Alliance. Han förklarar vad som behöver göras om man vill använda demokratiska medel för att återställa friheten. ”Man måste betrakta etablissemanget som lede fi och man måste krossa det.” Jag vill börja med att berömma ert mod att låta mig tala till er här ikväll. Jag är direktör för en organisation som under 1980-talet jobbade hårt på att försöka ta över Conservative Partys ungdomsrörelse. Libertarian Alliance var hemvist och stöd åt Marc-Henri Glendenning, David Hoile och Douglas Smith, med flera, när det såg ut som att libertarianerna skulle kunna göra med Conservative Party vad trotskisterna nästan gjorde med Labour Party. Tyvärr misslyckades våra ansträngningar. Sedan dess har Conservative… READ MORE

Universal Basic Income: Some Political and Economic Advantages (2020), by Sean Gabb

Universal Basic Income: Some Political and Economic Advantages Sean Gabb 16th August 2020 Published in The Commentator Published in The Libertarian Enterprise My vision of Utopia has remained constant since I was thirteen. It is a nation of free citizens, keeping jealous watch over a state strong enough to defend the borders and keep a minimal internal peace, but restricted from doing anything else. Sadly, this vision is further out of reach today than when I was thirteen. The modern British State is a vastly extended despotism, limited only by incompetence and corruption. It is also a despotism to which the majority of people, with whatever success and at whatever overall cost, look for immediate benefits. Libertarians and conservatives may dream of a coup in which the present order of… READ MORE
