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.

The Great Cloud of Disrepute

The turning point is here. We can either embrace old forms – human rights, freedom, the rule of law, constitutionally restricted governments – or acquiesce to growing despotism under “expert” advisement, no matter how cruel and incompetent. How broken is the world? That is what we are finding out now. The answer seems to be: much more than we thought. More now than in living memory.

Trump’s Disastrous Final Year in Office 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We are now 40-months on from the Donald’s foolish empowerment of Dr. Fauci and his Virus Patrol in mid-March 2020, and all doubt has been removed. If there were two countries on the planet which had diametrically opposite policy approaches with respect to the Covid, it was Australia, which degenerated into an outright public health tyranny, and Sweden, where officials kept their minds open to the facts and social institutions—schools, churches, shops, theaters, malls, factories, etc–open to the public.

The Killing of Common Sense 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We’re now left trying to build on what was bubbling up in our culture and politics before Covid. We might consider this task the building of a counterculture of affirmation. Not the “affirmation” of more pharmacology. That is but another form of dehumanization, aimed to reduce and belittle us still further, especially our status as parents in the protection of our children. Our task is to build a counter to that dehumanization.

Let’s Stop Investing Rhetorical Flourishes with Legal Weight 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We now face an entrenched elite, backed by the full might of the Deep State and its well-researched tools of cognitive conditioning who see us as a largely unindividuated biomass that can and should be manipulated into serving what they see as their transcendently conceived ends.

Underlying Cause of Death

The Great Covid Laundering Scheme 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The thesis explores how the CDC has been systematically misclassifying covid as the UCoD on death certificates that clearly list a different condition as the Underlying Cause of Death, or where covid was obviously not the UCoD even if it was technically listed in the position of the UCoD by the coroner or ME who filled out the death certificate. The CDC does this by entering the ICD code for covid – U07.1 – as the UCoD even though the death certificate itself lists a different condition as the UCoD.

The WHO Is a Real and Present Danger 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The only real question is whether, and how, this society-wrecking pandemic train can be stopped. The public health professions want careers and salaries, and will not intervene. They have proven that in previous manifestations of fascism. The public must educate themselves, and then refuse to comply. We can just hope some of our supposed leaders will step forward to help them.

CIA Covid Propaganda

Best-Selling Author Michael Lewis Pens CIA Covid Propaganda

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The terrifying takeaways from this analysis are: First, that what Lewis is hiding – or trying to divert attention away from – is the massive CIA involvement in the Covid response. Second, that the intelligence and national security leaders who were in charge of the Covid response did not just censor information that contradicted their narrative; they also recruited widely trusted voices – including internationally renowned authors – to disseminate their propaganda.

Revenge of the Praetorian Guard 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

None of us ever wanted to live in a country in which the ruling regime openly expresses opposition to core constitutional rights that many generations of Americans thought were guaranteed by law. The injunction of Missouri v. Biden does nothing other than remind the government of those rights. And this is precisely why the Biden administration so strongly objects.

The Future of Traditional Farming and Healthcare in the Netherlands

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The Netherlands has been chosen as a pilot area in the EU to be climate neutral with a transition in protein food and a transformation of healthcare into a telemedicine, data, and AI-driven connected system approach led by Public Private Partnerships. A closure of 55-70 percent of traditional farming is foreseen to be replaced by tech-driven vertical farming, gene-edited crops, edible insects, veganism, 15-minute cities and a CBDC passport covering personal health data.

The Intellectual Roots of Techno-Primitivism 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Saint-Simon celebrated science but became the anti-Voltaire. Instead of freeing the human mind, he and his followers imagined themselves to be governors of it. Anthony Fauci is indeed a successor among many, and the strange animal of techno-primitivism is a monster of their creation that now threatens civilization itself. Putting everyone in a N95 respirator to extinguish a disease is only the beginning. The actual goal is to become permanent “governors of the operation of the human mind.”
