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.

Never Forget How Covid Controls Corrupted Independence Day 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In 2020, politicians in most areas effectively canceled Independence Day. Governors and mayors had quickly imposed “stay at home” orders restricting 300 million people after the Covid pandemic erupted. Most of the media ignored the fact that Independence Day occurred under the most dictatorial restrictions of the modern era. Crowds were banned from watching fireworks that governments often chose not to ignite.

CDC Altered Minnesota Death Certificates that List a Covid Vaccine as a Cause of Death

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The actions of the CDC call into question whether the CDC is altogether qualified or trustworthy enough to be the steward of the nation’s epidemiological data. The CDC manages many of the datasets that underpin whole fields of study. If the CDC is willing to fraudulently alter data (or even if the CDC is just too incompetent to avoid corrupting data), all data under the aegis of the CDC is potentially suspect, especially if it relates to a controversial political or social issue.

An Unofficial Q&A on International Health Regulations

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The WHO has become a tool of those who would manipulate us for greed and self-interest. In previous eras, people have stood against those who sought to exploit and enslave them, reclaimed their rights and saved society for their children. What we are facing is not new; society periodically faces and overcomes such challenges.

Kennedy, DeSantis and a Covid Reckoning Election

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The political implications of DeSantis and Kennedy’s successful challenge against the establishment narrative on all things Covid would reverberate in many other Western democracies and encourage other major parties to differentiate themselves from the ruling establishment as lockdown and vaccine sceptics and opponents.

The Pharmacological Path to Soft-Core Totalitarianism

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Soft-core totalitarianism was predicted by past seers who tried to warn us about where Western Civilization was headed. The leavening of tyranny with the intentional supply of banal distractions, creature comforts, and legalized drugs pepper their descriptions. They repeatedly describe a kind of semi-anesthetized, semi-tolerable dystopia.

United States: Fifty Little Dictatorships

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This legal push has received no public attention, and not even Zwieg’s expert journalism seems to have broken through the wall set up by the mainstream media. And that is precisely why anyone concerned about the future needs to get the word out. The efforts toward fundamental regime change are real, threatening, and deeply dangerous to the future of liberty itself.

The Censorship Hegemon Must Be Stopped

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This agency was created in the waning days of the Obama administration, supposedly to protect our digital infrastructure against cyberattacks from computer viruses and nefarious foreign actors. But less than one year into their existence, CISA decided that their remit also should include protecting our “cognitive infrastructure” from various threats.

The Sadism Factor

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

If you have the ability, through your complete control of the government and media matrix to get an obviously mentally incompetent man into the highest office in the most powerful country in the world (while placing another—Fetterman—with similarly limited cognitive capabilities in that same country’s Senate in order to stave off possibly devastating Republican investigations) what can’t you do?

Stakeholder Capitalism is an Oxymoron

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Stakeholder capitalism inevitably creates a tyranny of minorities, and especially highly ideological minorities (because a shared ideology reduces the cost of organizing). Minority stakeholders will succeed in expropriating majority ones. Minority tyranny is the big problem with democratic politics. Extending it to vast swathes of economic life is a nightmare.

And Now the Problem of Exploding Hand Sanitizer

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Compounding the issue was the challenge of dealing with hazardous waste. Disposing of sanitizer should be treated with the same caution as other hazardous waste, but the process is expensive and tedious. This daunting task was magnified by several fires involving vast quantities of unsellable hand sanitizer across the country in the past year.
