Brownstone Institute - New Media Sues the State Department over Censorship

New Media Sues the State Department Over Censorship

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

According to a new lawsuit filed in December on behalf of two media organizations, those being The Daily Wire and The Federalist, as well as the State of Texas and AG Ken Paxton versus the U.S. Department of State (the State Department) through its Global Engagement Center (GEC) and various US government officials, it is alleged that the defendants are actively intervening in the news media market to both censor and limit the circulation of disfavored press outlets.

Brownstone Institute - Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies

Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The 2023 book Misbelief by Dan Ariely belongs to a genre I would label “debunking Covid conspiracy theories.” The book is meant to explore the thought process of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, especially about Covid and the Covid vaccines. Thus I was surprised to encounter in the book two stories in which the author uncovered real conspiracies to hide information about Covid from the public.

Brownstone Institute - Propaganda Looney Tunes

Propaganda Looney Tunes

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Virality with this ease of spread is a fairly novel psychic phenomenon for the human race. So, when a novel physical pathogen came along, both the disease and the memes, cartoons, and propaganda began to spread. Confronted on both physical and psychic fronts, some incredibly bizarre and often vindictive behavior resulted. It isn’t the first time this has happened.

Brownstone Institute - The 'Re-Education' of New Zealand Medical Doctors

The ‘Re-Education’ of New Zealand Medical Doctors

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

During 2020-2023, professional regulatory associations became de-facto wardens of the more authoritarian Covid-19 nation-states, which included New Zealand. The Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) was one such body which, like a duck to water, moved firmly and swiftly to ensure that doctors complied with Covid-19 and vaccine policies, or face disciplinary proceedings and gag orders.

Brownstone Institute - Gonsalves and the Origins of 'Six Feet Apart'

Gonsalves and the Origins of ‘Six Feet Apart’

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Curious to see who had promoted this arbitrary rule that “sort of just appeared”, I began searching news articles and social media and ran across an expert declaration on Yale’s website, filed by Gregg Gonsalves with the School of Public Health and Yale Law School. Gonsalves also writes regularly for multiple media outlets, including The Nation where he is their public health correspondent. “Data from China indicates that the average infected person passes the virus on to 2-3 other people at distances of 3-6 feet,” Gonsalves claimed in a legal filing.

Brownstone Institute - Three Books to End the Silence

Three Books to End the Silence

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It’s not enough just to forget the whole thing like a bad dream. We cannot just delete the page from the history books, as the CDC has done, and pretend like it is over and done and nothing needs to change. We must deal with reality. And these books take us to new levels of understanding. That is the first step toward change.

This Vaccine Emperor Has No Clothes

What about the story of Özlem Türeci, the much-celebrated Turkish-German co-creator of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine, whose face has featured in the New York Times, on the BBC and in innumerable other international media and who clearly suffers from partial facial paralysis, a widely-reported side effect of the drug, but no one dares mention it?

Kristina Borjesson: Rest in Peace to a Brave Investigator

Kristina Borjesson: Rest in Peace to a Brave Investigator

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In 2002 I did not know the extent of media malfeasance. Kristina, however, documented it in the most careful, credible and unbelievable way—collecting many chapters by top journalists of the stories they tried to report and how they lost their careers when they attempted to tell the truth. She lost her career at CBS, trying to tell the truth about the mid-air explosion of a 747 (TWA 800) over Long island sound, which was probably the result of a US Navy exercise gone awry.

Silence of the Damned

Silence of the Damned

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

None of our civil institutions shows the slightest inclination to talk about the injustices of the last few years, let alone the possibility that those injustices continue their impact today, and could emerge again at any time. All it needs is another ‘crisis’ and the whole sorry saga could start all over again.

The Velvet Fascism of "Protect our Democracy"

The Velvet Fascism of “Protect our Democracy”

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Deciding that a person who has not been charged with, let alone convicted of, insurrection is guilty of insurrection and therefore cannot run for president…that is “protecting our democracy” in action. Whenever that term is used, one can be assured that the democracy they are referring to has no semblance to any actual democracy.
