SUMMARY:Brownstone Manhattan Supper Club\, Sept. 29\, 2026 : Miriam Eckenfels-Garcia
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILBrownstone Manhattan/NYC Supper Club \nTuesday\, September 29\, 2026 | 5:30 – 9 pm \nCarmine’s | 2450 Broadway\, between 90th and 91st Streets in Manhattan \nSpeaker: Miriam Eckenfels-Garcia \nThe cost is $85 for the dinner\, not including drinks\, which can be purchased at the bar.  \nWe will meet at the bar from 5:30-6 p.m. and then go into the Bellini Room at 6 p.m. for the dinner.  \nSpeaker bio \nMiriam Eckenfels-Garcia is the Director of Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless program. She leads a team of litigators and researchers focused on protecting children and the environment from the harms of wireless radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Miriam is an international lawyer with a background in corporate accountability and international human rights law. Throughout her career\, she has worked for various human rights organizations in Europe and the U.S.\, where she focused on mechanisms to hold corporate actors accountable for egregious violations of human rights. After seven years of running pro bono research projects and international fellowships for the Public Interest Law Center at NYU School of Law\, she joined CHD in 2021 to build and run its educational fellowship program and to fight against the unchecked expansion of wireless infrastructure – pushed by big telecom and special interests – that harms our health\, the environment\, and our privacy autonomy. \nProgram description \nThe Federal Cell Tower Takeover: Federal agencies and Congress are pushing major policy changes that will allow industry to place cell towers and antennas virtually anywhere in America — including near homes and schools\, on neighborhood playgrounds\, and in front of your church. All with no informed consent\, no safety oversight\, and an industry shielded from liability. And you and your town will have no say in the decision making. Learn about the negative impacts of cell towers on health and the environment and join a discussion about what you can do to stop unwanted towers in your community.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsboro\, NC Supper Club\, Oct. 20th: John Klyczek
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILBrownstone Institute Supper Club\, Pittsboro\, NC \nForest Hall at Chatham Mills \nTuesday\, October 20\, 2026 @ 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM \n$48 includes full meal and non-alcohol drinks\, cash bar available \nWe are eager to engage with author\, researcher and teacher John Klyczek\, who has taken a deep dive into the history of public education\, its present and future.  For parents and community members and ones that have been in the system as educators\, administrators or students\, this provocative talk and Q&A will be very thought-provoking!  \nAbout the Talk \nJohn Klyczek\, author of School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education\, will debunk the “education freedom” rhetoric that is being touted to propagate public-private “school choice” partnerships between government bureaucracies\, education technology (ed-tech) corporations\, and financial technology (fin-tech) companies streamlined through artificial intelligence (AI). Klyczek will expound on how school choice neo-vouchers are being appropriated to subsidize an emerging matrix of ed-tech and fin-tech cybernetics primed for AI social credit profiling and social impact investing in the globally planned economy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). \nState and federal governments are funneling school choice subsidies into virtual edu-companies which have been funded by corporatist technocrats to program student bodies with ed-tech products that data-mine students’ psychometrics for predictive learning analytics. These school choice neo-vouchers are being distributed through government contracts with third party digital wallets managed by fin-tech enterprises that have been financed by venture capital firms which have been bankrolled by Big Tech oligarchs. \nAs these digital wallet companies contract with government bureaucracies to disburse school choice neo-vouchers for virtual edu-conditioning\, AI is being ramped up to data-mine feedback loops between fin-tech inputs and ed-tech outcomes to extrapolate predictive social credit analytics that determine students’ career pathways in the planned economy of the 4IR. To fully integrate these technocratic cybernetics for the global social credit economy of the 4IR\, the federal government has greenlighted the minting of digital dollars through stablecoin cryptocurrencies which can be programmed\, tracked\, and traced with AI predictive analytics. Issuing school choice subsidies as stablecoins through digital wallet corporations completes the loop. \nIf you are interested to learn more about this emerging system of technocratic schooling\, including strategies for cultivating true education freedom that is liberated from the 4IR machinations of Big Government and Big Business\, join Klyczek and your community members in October! \nAbout the Speaker \nJohn Klyczek has an MA in English and has taught college rhetoric and research argumentation for over a decade. He is the author of School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education (TrineDay Books)\, and he is a contributor to Unlimited Hangout\, New Politics\, the Centre for Research on Globalization\, the Activist Post\, and many other publications. In addition\, Klyczek holds a black belt in classical tae kwon do\, and he is a certified kickboxing instructor under the international Muay Thai Boxing Association. \nVenue & Details \nForest Hall at Chatham Mills\, 480 Hillsboro Street\, Suite 530\, Pittsboro\, NC \nForest Hall is located in a historic label mill built in the early 1900s\, the venue has wooden floors\, exposed brick walls and large windows. The 3500 square foot hall is located on 32 acres of woods and meadows in historic downtown Pittsboro\, NC- just 20 minutes away from Chapel Hill and 40 minutes from Raleigh or Durham.  Catering is provided by 39 West Catering.    \nTicket Information  \n$48 per person includes a lovely buffet style dinner and non-alcohol drinks.
