SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, July 31\, 2026: Mary Talley Bowden
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILOn Friday\, July 31\, 2026\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to host one of America’s greatest champions of medical freedom and resistance to tyranny. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden has been on the front lines\, and front pages\, from the very beginning…a paid a huge price for being right.  \nNote that this meeting is on Friday\, not Wednesday as usual. We recommend getting tickets early due to high demand.  \nShe joins us for the first time\, on the occasion of publication of her new book\, Dangerous Misinformation. We’ll have some copies on hand. The title is ironic. Houston Methodist Hospital suspended her for “spreading dangerous misinformation.” Of course it was the wicked protocols of the hospital that were truly dangerous.  \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nMary Talley Bowden\, MD\, is a board-certified otolaryngologist (ear\, nose\, and throat specialist) and sleep medicine physician based in Houston\, Texas. She is best known for her independent direct-care practice\, advocacy for medical freedom\, and high-profile disputes with hospitals and medical authorities during the Covid-19 pandemic.  \nIn 2019\, she founded BreatheMD (also referred to as Bowden ENT)\, a direct-care (third-party-free) clinic in Houston focusing on sinus\, allergy\, sleep\, and airway issues with transparent pricing and holistic options. The practice emphasizes patient-first care without insurance\, hospital\, or government ties. She kept over 6\,000 Covid-19 patients out of the hospital through early treatment protocols.  \nSince then\, she has established herself in media appearances as a ferocious champion of freedom and rights\, and inspired many medical professionals to stand up to the intimidation by boards\, professional associations\, and institutions. We are thrilled to welcome her.

She also hosts and is the director of The Feds podcast. A professional opera singer with a Master’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music\, Stephanie redirected her voice towards public advocacy after witnessing her daughter’s vaccine injury\, and while observing the government try to destroy her husband’s career. In line with the Feds For Freedom mission to expose and curb government overreach\, Stephanie facilitates inter-agency dialogue and educational summits that empower everyday Americans to take ownership of their freedom. Before joining Feds For Freedom full time\, she homeschooled her children for 4 years.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Chattanooga Supper Club\, September 1\, 2026: Gigi Foster
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILChattanooga Supper Club\, September 1\, 2026; 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm \nGigi Foster \nState of Confusion Restaurant (Pumphouse)\, 301 E Main St.\, Chattanooga\, TN 37408 (423) 760-3473 \nTuesday\, September 1st | 5:30 – 9:00 pm \nChattanooga\, TN \n$45 per person. Cash bar available. \nPlease join us for an evening of lively conversation\, intriguing speakers\, and fun! This month we are pleased to welcome Brownstone Institute Senior Scholar Gigi Foster\, now on sabbatical in the US. \nAbout Gigi Foster \nGigi Foster works in diverse fields including education\, social influence\, time use\, lab experiments\, behavioural economics\, and Australian policy. Named 2019 Young Economist of the Year by the Economic Society of Australia\, she publishes in both specialised and cross-disciplinary outlets\, and her innovative teaching was awarded a 2017 Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. She has filled numerous roles of service to the profession and engages heavily on economic matters with the Australian community\, as one of Australia’s leading economics communicators\, in the media and at live events. She co-founded the think tank Australians for Science and Freedom in 2023\, and is an author of dozens of academic articles and several books\, including The Great Covid Panic (2021) and Do Lockdowns and Border Closures Serve the “Greater Good”? (2022). \nAbout the Talk \nThe ethics\, politics and economics of Western renewal. The modern West is in decline\, as evidenced in our institutions\, our culture\, and the betrayal of our people by elites who disregard the needs of a healthy society in favour of serving power. What to do? In this Brownstone Supper Club talk\, I will describe my approach to this uber-problem as an economist trained in the broad social sciences\, from both a theoretical and a highly practical standpoint\, focussing on desirable and feasible options for institutional redesign. Amongst other things I will discuss the mission and activities of the free think tank I co-founded and co-direct\, Australians for Science and Freedom\, and the newest attempt at Western renewal in which I am involved: a serious proposal for the secession of Western Australia from that country’s Commonwealth government. I will also briefly discuss the origin of Brownstone Institute’s first published book\, The Great Covid Panic\, released in September 2021\, which I co-authored with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker. \nVenue\, Location & Parking \n$45 per person. Space is limited\, so be sure to secure your seat early: For more information\, contact Janet Gorbitz (local host) at operations@brownstone.org.
