What do the 2020 lockdowns, the Ukraine war, Iran, and even the Epstein files have in common? In this conversation, Tuomas Malinen lays out a provocative thesis: that today's geopolitical flashpoints may not be isolated crises, but interconnected events driven by deeper power structures operating behind the scenes.

What happened the last time Mercury went retrograde in Pisces? Mid-February to mid-March 2020. Lockdowns. Misinformation. People couldn't leave their homes. Toilet paper shortages. Surrender because you had no choice. Now we're entering another Mercury retrograde in Pisces cycle—and nobody's talking about what's coming.This episode is about the patterns astrology reveals when you know how to read them. It's about the existential crisis AI is about to trigger when people realize their professions don't exist anymore and their entire identity (Aries) was wrapped up in what they did for work (Saturn). It's about the chasm between 1996-2026 that can never be replicated—from pre-internet to AI—and why people born in that window understand something nobody else will. It's about Uranus forcing the uplevel, human design gate 44 (smelling talent), and why 2020's "return to work" policies were actually disguised layoffs to avoid vesting stock options.Also: Perimenopause brain fog, Mercury retrograde privilege (being born with it), the delulu vs. salulu of Neptune, and why professionalism as we knew it is over.This episode covers:Mercury retrograde in Pisces last cycle: mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 (COVID lockdowns)The AI existential crisis nobody's discussing (identity wrapped in profession)What happens when your job doesn't exist anymore and you don't know who you areUranus forcing upleveling and systematizing creative chaosHuman design gate 44: the ability to smell talentThe 1996-2026 chasm (pre-internet to AI) that can't be replicatedWhy "return to work" policies were disguised layoffs (vesting stock options)Misinformation, delusion (Neptune), and surrender (Pisces)Being born with Mercury retrograde = thriving during retrogradeProfessionalism and leadership being redefined in real-timeSaturn Neptune conjunction: entering new territory (no precedent since 1989)Intuition and jumping (moving to California on in early 2011 when Uranus entered Aries)Perfect for:Anyone who lived through 2020 and feels the parallelBusiness owners preparing for AI-driven upheavalPeople whose identity is wrapped up in their professionListeners who understand astrology reveals patternsAnyone navigating the death of "professionalism" as a conceptKeywords: Mercury retrograde Pisces, 2020 parallels, AI existential crisis, professional identity, Uranus upleveling, human design gate 44, Saturn Neptune conjunction, COVID lockdown astrology, misinformation cycles, redefining professionalism, existential crisis Aries, 1996-2026 chasm, internet to AI, intuitionMentioned in This Episode:Mercury retrograde shadow begins tomorrowMercury retrograde in Pisces (mid-Feb to mid-March 2020 parallel)Eclipse readings (expire 6 PM EST Friday 2/13)Deep dive on Mercury Pisces retrograde (coming next week for email list)Rick Rubin (creative devotion)Human design gate 44 (conscious 2-line Uranus)Saturn Neptune conjunction (new territory since 1989)Uranus in Taurus (2020) - work from home, nature, Silicon Valley exodusCalifornia labor laws and return-to-work disguised layoffs

In meinem Interview mit Simone Klinge-Otto sprechen wir über Klarheit, mutige Entscheidungen und die Kraft der Spezialisierung.Direkt nach der Meisterschule erhält Simone das Angebot, in einen Friseursalon einzusteigen. Sie ergreift die Chance und ist mit nur 21 Jahren selbstständig. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann zieht sie später nach Hamburg, verkauft den Laden und erfüllt sich ihren Traum, Maskenbildnerin zu werden.Zurück im Münsterland bewirbt sie sich beim WDR und arbeitet dort fünf Jahre. Sie genießt diese Zeit sehr – entscheidet sich dann aber, wieder einen neuen Salon zu eröffnen. Sie positioniert sich bewusst im Hochpreissegment und ist damit überaus erfolgreich. Ihr Leitsatz dabei: „Ich habe einfach immer klare Entscheidungen getroffen.“Dann kommt die Pandemie – und wirkt für sie rückblickend wie ein Segen. Zum ersten Mal hat sie acht Wochen komplett frei. Sie nutzt diese Zeit, um ihr Business von außen zu betrachten und trifft eine weitreichende Entscheidung: Sie schließt ihren Salon und stellt sich komplett neu auf. Simone spezialisiert sich auf die Schönheit von Frauen ab 50 und ist überzeugt, dass in dieser Lebensphase eine neue innere Klarheit und Weisheit entsteht, die man auch im Außen sehen sollte. Sie begleitet Frauen dabei, ihren eigenen Stil zu finden oder wiederzuentdecken. Sie erzählt, wie sich das Ende des ersten Lockdowns für sie angefühlt hat und wie sie Schritt für Schritt ihr Business neu ausgerichtet hat. Sie sucht sich Wegbegleiter für ihren Neustart, baut ihre neue Marke auf und verabschiedet sich endgültig vom Salon.In dieser Zeit ist ihr Mann bereits schwer krank. Ihr Leben dreht sich stark um ihn, und sie kommt emotional an ihre Grenzen. Sie spricht sehr offen über die Angst um ihn und über seine letzte Lebensphase.Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wie sie DJane wurde, harten Techno aufgelegt hat und viele Jahre gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann bei der Loveparade dabei war. Simone hat noch viel vor und setzt sich für ein besseres Image des Friseurberufs ein. Sie hat noch jede Menge vor und sagt: „Ich habe immer groß geträumt.“Willst du mehr über Simone erfahren?

He shares what it was really like being sent to some of Georgia's most violent state prisons, the constant danger inside, and the mindset it took just to survive day to day.

STAGNATION UNDER SURVEILLANCE Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. The severe lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic shattered consumer confidence, leaving citizens insecure and unwilling to spend, which stalled economic recovery. Local governments, cut off from credit and burdened by debt, struggle to provide basic services. Faced with economic stagnation, Xi Jinping has rejected market liberalization in favor of increased surveillance and control, prioritizing regime security over resolving the structural debt crisis or restoring the dynamism of previous decades.

Fünf Jahre danach: Corona- oder der Kipppunkt in der Gesellschaft Vor fünf Jahren begann die größte Impfkampagne in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Komplett neue gentechnische Substanzen, die bisher in der Krebsforschung entwickelt wurden, werden milliardenfach injiziert. Begleitet wurde die Coronapolitik von Lockdowns, Maskenpflicht, Kontaktverboten und einer bislang unbekannten Einschränkung von Grundrechten. Heute, mit zeitlichem Abstand, wird sichtbar, was damals verdrängt wurde: leere Intensivstationen, fehlende Evidenz, politischer Druck auf Wissenschaft und Medizin – und eine Gesellschaft, die gespalten zurückblieb. Der TE-Wecker blickt in seinem zweiten Teil zurück auf Corona als medizinischen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Kipppunkt.

COVID-19 AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic empowered unelected bureaucrats to enforce lockdowns that disproportionately crushed the middle class while enriching large corporations and the "Zoom class." He claims the scientific consensus was manipulated to protect China regarding the virus's origins and that early dissenters who questioned the efficacy of lockdowns and masks have since been vindicated. The response highlighted a deep divide between the "essential" working class and the insulated elites who managed the crisis from safety. NUMBER 8

In today's show, I look at three pressure points converging at once: a renewed push to revive pandemic-era controls as masks, mandates, and unanswered conflicts of interest re-enter the public conversation; a growing confrontation between Elon Musk and European authorities over censorship, fines, and who gets to decide what speech is permissible online; and mounting questions around Ukraine, as corruption allegations, financial accountability, and Western political narratives collide around Zelensky's leadership. Taken together, these stories reveal a wider pattern of institutional power being reasserted — through public health, digital regulation, and foreign war — and raise uncomfortable questions about trust, transparency, and who ultimately pays the price.

Additionally, Uhlmann shares insights from his works of fiction and the socio-political themes they explore.00:00 Introduction to Chris Uhlmann00:42 The Role of Media in Politics22:07 Global Energy Dynamics and China's Role27:46 Future of Free Speech and Climate Disinformation28:35 Government's War on Free Speech29:56 Gun Control in Australia30:59 Digital ID and Social Media Restrictions31:57 Free Speech and Defamation Laws33:23 Election Security in Australia35:47 COVID-19 Lockdowns and Government Control41:41 Writing Fiction in Australia48:26 US-Australia Relations and Global Politics49:45 Concluding Thoughts on Wokeness and Energy Policieshttps://chrisuhlmann.substack.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

The overarching view of the British Covid inquiry is that lockdown did not need to happen. Their inquiry is different to our two For a start, the key players turned up. Boris Johnson and co got grilled. Ardern and Hipkins and co never did because they refused. It still seems to me an astonishing act of arrogance that the same people who made such profound decisions on our lives refused to participate in a public way at the official look into the way they acted. It's a version of moral bankruptcy. Also, it's different in Britain in that it was adversarial. It's a mistake, I think, that we didn't take their approach. Also, it appears our inquiry, part two at least, has issues with a number of resignations. So who knows how our's pans out. It's due first thing next year. But although the British report says much, it's inescapable that a major observation is if the British Government had got its act together faster, if it had been more coordinated - lock downs were not necessary. Just think about that for a moment and apply it here. Lockdowns here started pretty much the same day they did in britain; March of 2020. If the British hadn't got their act together and were locking down in March, then surely it can be argued the same applies to us. Obviously their lockdowns were nowhere near as hard as ours, and that's another mass failing on the control freaks like Ardern and Hipkins. But just think about how Covid would have been, and our view of that period, if a lockdown had not been a part of the experience. Masks, rules, contact tracing, vaccines and respiratory hygiene could have stopped the need for lockdowns. That's the British conclusion. That's a pretty profound finding. It's profound for mental health and the economy. Think of the ensuing years-long damage that came out of the lockdowns, especially the Auckland ones that lasted months on end. Jobs lost, lives lost, recession after recession for something that, quite possibly, we didn't need to do. I can't see how, if they can conclude it in Britain, you can't conclude it here? Same virus, same approach, same outcome and same mistakes. It is a failing of historic proportions. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did Boris Johnson and the British government not only fail to listen, but actively try to suppress early warnings about the pandemic? How did groupthink and optimism bias cripple the UK's response? And is Britain's government structurally too slow to handle future threats like AI and Putin's increasing aggression in Europe?

A report by the Covid inquiry has concluded that lockdown could have been avoided entirely if other measures had been implemented urgently at the start of the pandemic. Also: Legal immigrants who claim benefits could be forced to wait 20 years before applying for the right to settle permanently. And Gary 'Mani' Mansfield, the Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist, has died aged 63.

1. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. John Tamny discusses the severe economic contraction initiated by mandated lockdowns, such as Governor Cuomo's March 20, 2020, order in New York. Tamny argues that politicians caused the crisis by forcing successful businesses to cease operations. These sudden actions by major economies forced global investors to fundamentally rethink the future value of businesses. Although early market signals from China suggested the virus was not highly lethal, pivotal political decisions, like the cancellation of South by Southwest, triggered panic, leading markets to realize that political action, not reality, was the primary threat. Markets digested these fears and corrected before rebounding. 1918

2. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. The conversation reviews the governors' initial promise of two-week lockdowns, noting that centralized power is rarely relinquished. The economic crisis deepened as epidemiologists and experts supplanted the collective knowledge of the marketplace, resulting in central planning, mass unemployment, and debt. John Tamny contrasts the COVID-19 response with the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic, which caused the equivalent of 250,000 modern deaths but elicited virtually no political or market reaction. The difference lies in technology: 50 years ago, without Zoom or delivery services, lockdowns would have caused mass discomfort and riots, preventing politicians from acting. Lockdowns happened because they could, not because they had to.

3. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. This excerpt examines the federal government's response, characterized as a partial command economy imposed after state lockdowns. John Tamny contends that Washington threw trillions of dollars at the collapse it subsidized, delaying recovery. He refutes the premise that cash handouts stimulate growth, stressing that economic dynamism comes from investment, not consumption. Attempts by commentators to nationalize investment and "freeze the economy" by propping up failing businesses were ultimately destructive. Tamny argues that had politicians done nothing, Americans would have adjusted naturally, allowing the resulting capital formation and investor trust to facilitate a rapid, organic recovery. 1918

Economist and RealClearMarkets editor John Tamny joins Sarah Westall to unpack the devastating, often overlooked consequences of lockdowns and the widespread starvation they triggered. Far from a distant memory, these policies unleashed powerful, hidden forces that continue to reshape global economics—from volatile commodity markets to eroded trust in Western institutions. Tamny reveals how these ripples are now driving bold decisions by foreign governments, central banks, and investors worldwide, fueling everything from currency wars to a surge in “de-risking” from U.S.-centric supply chains. Drawing on his sharp insights from The End of Work and beyond, Tamny argues that ignoring these scars risks repeating history's mistakes on a grander scale.You can follow John Tamny on X @johntamny

The COVID-19 pandemic was a devastating global event, killing more than seven million people, straining the fabric of societies, and shaking the foundations of the world economy. And yet, as horrifying as the experience was, COVID-19 was not “The Big One” — the dreaded pandemic that haunts the nightmares of epidemiologists and public health officials everywhere. That far deadlier outbreak is still ahead of us, and it will reshape life across the planet unless we're ready for it. In this episode, Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the world's leading infectious disease experts, explains what we got wrong, what we got right, and what it all reveals about our preparedness for the next great pandemic. Michael Osterholm is Regents Professor and McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health at the University of Minnesota, where he founded and directs the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP). An internationally renowned epidemiologist with fifty years of experience, he's led major outbreak investigations worldwide and authored over 350 papers. He served as a U.S. State Department science envoy from 2017-2019. His new book is The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics.

Will Americans ever get the Covid reckoning we deserve? On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, historian Thomas Beckett Kane joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to reflect on how bureaucrats seized panic over Covid-19 to enact an authoritarian agenda that affected Americans for years. You can preorder Kane's book. The Reckoning: A Definitive History of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Absurdities, here.If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.  

Senator Rand Paul exposes Anthony Fauci for urging staff to delete emails—breaking federal law—and one shocking message reveals Fauci knew lockdowns made no difference between states like New York and Florida. While businesses collapsed and dissenting voices were censored, Fauci quietly admitted the “science” was meaningless. We break down the email, the fallout of destroyed livelihoods, and what this means for trusting “experts” going forward. Plus, updates on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why investigators suggest it looks like a professional hit with possible foreign ties.

Host David From continues the story of Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, a Michigan restaurant owner who refused to close during the pandemic after the state's first round of executive orders was ruled unconstitutional. Joined by her attorney, Helen Brinkman, Marlena recounts being singled out by state leadership, arrested, fined, and jailed—despite unequal enforcement and conflicting rulings—after she chose to keep serving her community. Brinkman walks through the legal maze: administrative suspensions, contempt findings, and split decisions that could set a statewide precedent on executive power, due process, and equal protection. Together they explain why Marlena's case now aims for the United States Supreme Court—and why the outcome matters for every Michigander who expects leaders to follow the same rules they impose on the people.

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases. The topics we cover impact everyone: male, female, young and old and, given that NIH is the premier research and public health organization in the world, extend to Americans and non-Americans alike.
