From: Walter Block <wblock@loyno.edu> Sent: Monday, November 30, 2020 7:09 PM To: ‘David Chávez Salazar’ Subject: RE: Hello Professor Block Dear David: Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them. Trump is very good on reducing regulations, taxes and creating peace in the Middle East; he is bad on protectionism, deficits. I vastly prefer him to Biden who is a socialist. If populism helps promote liberty I favor it to that extent. If Biden wins in 2020, this is still a question, I hope Rand Paul becomes president in 2024. Best regards, Walter From: David Chávez Sala...

From: Walter Block <wblock@loyno.edu> Sent: Monday, November 30, 2020 6:33 PM To: ‘Jon Trollston’ Subject: RE: Private law and international trade. Dear Jon: That’s quite a few good questions.

I’ve read so much of your work but have yet to come across an explanation and my guess is that the conduct of … C...

THE CORRUPT STATE ATTACKS CHRISTIANS Russia Today, although having frequently a liberal, biased secular outlook featuring frequently what I’d describe as “soft porn” stories (that one of ther video journalists said was the most popular was about a Kazakh bodybuilder who married his sex doll or something equally gruesome) does, on the other hand, have articles and op-editorials that are truly worthwhile, providing information unavailable on other platforms. The most troubling but also I feel most heartening was “Christians condemn London police for shutting down ‘unlawful’ Good Fri...

Continuums Dear Walter, I just read another exchange relating to this, but I’ll keep it short this time. If Napolitano (or even you) says “the government” has a “right” to forcibly quarantine somebody who carries a disease at any level (serious, deadly, or just highly infectious, for example), then all we have to do is look at the real information available on-line from libertarian web sources to see the problem with this.
