Government

Government articles provide in-depth analysis of government agencies and their profound impacts on economics, public health, public dialogue, individual liberty, social life, and personal freedoms.

Brownstone critically examines overreach, surveillance programs, digital ID systems, bureaucratic fraud, public health mandates, international organizations (e.g., WHO), national security policies, and emerging threats like technocratic control and institutional trust erosion. Topics include government-controlled digital IDs, vaccine policy shifts, autism guidance revisions, antidepressant information wars, sovereignty vs. global governance, and pathways to policy reform that prioritize human rights, free markets, and open society.

All government articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to enable global access, foster international open dialogue, and support readers worldwide in challenging centralized power and promoting evidence-based alternatives.

Although random hatchets were thrown at Fauci during the hearing, he managed to garner a fair bit of support from the subcommittee and seemed to come out relatively unscathed, earning him the title of ‘Teflon Tony.’ The subcommittee will release a final report by the end of 2024, with its findings and recommendations from its two-year investigation.
