SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsburgh Supper Club\, March 25\, 2026: Dr. Clifford Bob
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILJoin us for an enlightening evening as Dr. Clifford Bob presents “The Fear Industrial Complex”. \nThe U.S. is the world’s most secure country based on its geostrategic\, economic\, and military advantages.  Yet for decades influential voices have claimed that we face existential threats—terrorism\, cyberattack\, Iran\, Russia\, China\, covid\, climate change\, immigration to name only a few of the national security “crises” ostensibly menacing us.  Why has America come to fear so much when we are in fact so safe?  Clifford Bob argues that the source of our anxiety is pervasive fearmongering by a loose-knit network of powerful public and private actors—the “fear industrial complex.”  Its governmental\, military\, and journalistic members—cutting across partisan and ideological lines—mount sustained scare campaigns against the American public.  Whatever the fear du jour\, scare campaigns include four recurrent strategies:  inflation of threats; deflation of American strengths; promotion of questionable panaceas; and enforcement of fear-ridden conformity.  Scare campaigns empower and enrich the panic industrial complex.  But they take an enormous toll on American lives\, liberties\, and pocketbooks.  They make us less secure and less free. \nIn his talk\, Bob will outline the argument and propose ways to counter the power and tactics of the fear industrial complex.  His talk is part of an ongoing book project.  Your comments and suggestions are welcome. \nClifford Bob is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Duquesne University.  He is the author of The Marketing of Rebellion (2005)\, winner of the International Studies Association Book of the Year award; The Global Right Wing (2012)\, which co-won the 2020 International Studies Book of the Decade award; and Rights as Weapons (2019).  In addition to academic articles and chapters\, Bob writes regularly for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and other outlets.  Bob holds a Ph. D. from MIT\, a J.D. from NYU Law School\, and a B.A. from Harvard University. \nDeBlaze is an acclaimed bar and grill just 5 miles from Pittsburgh\, located in the heart of Carnegie\, PA\, serving tantalizing Italian pasta made with homemade pasta and sauces\, succulent steaks\, and dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Curated selection of craft beer and top-shelf bourbons for an unforgettable dining experience close to Pittsburgh. \nDrivers coming from Pittsburgh International Airport or further east use I-376 (Parkway West) and then connect to local roads toward Carnegie. \nExit 57 on I-79 is generally the closest direct freeway exit. \nFree parking lot next to restaurant or street parking; stairs only to upstairs meeting room\, no elevator access. \nDeBlaze at 131 | 131 E Main St.\, Carnegie\, PA 15106\nWednesday\, March 25 6:30 – 9 pm\n$50 includes appetizers and dinner \n

SUMMARY:Brownstone Chicago Supper Club\, March 26\, 2026: Dr. Patricia Robitaille and Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILWe’re excited to invite you to the next Brownstone Chicago Supper Club on March 26\, 2026 at 5:30 PM at Base Community Café. Our featured speakers will be Dr. Patricia Robitaille and Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh. \nJoin us for an evening of great food\, drink\, lively discourse and community. $65 per person includes a tasty Italian themed dinner and drinks. \nAbout the talk\nDr. Patricia Robitaille and Dr. Coleen Rickabaugh will discuss critical reforms to the Health Care Quality Improvement Act (HCQIA) of 1986\, a law originally intended to address medical malpractice and improve patient care. However\, HCQIA is now often weaponized through sham peer reviews which silence ethical physicians who challenge profit-driven practices or administrative overreach. They have recently appeared on podcasts\, including DemystifySci and a Substack interview by Jefferey Jaxen. At this Brownstone event\, they will outline the original intent of HCQIA\, how the misapplication of this federal law controls physicians and negatively affects patient care\, in addition to proposed legislative amendments aimed at removing hospital immunity\, restoring due process\, protecting whistleblowers\, and prioritizing patient safety over institutional control. Their insights\, formed by decades of frontline experience in emergency medicine\, emphasize the urgent need to rewrite this flawed legislation and to rebuild trust and integrity in the medical system. \nAbout the Speakers\nDr. Patricia Robitaille is an emergency physician with 35 years of experience in hospital-based emergency medicine and 20 years of involvement in physician peer review and credentialing. As chairman\, she unified three credentialing committees from four hospitals\, to form a centralized\, systemwide Medical Staff Credentialing Committee which was responsible for the evaluation of thousands of physicians. She has extensive experience as an emergency department chairman and head of human resources for her practice group. She has dedicated her clinical career to putting patients first. Having personally witnessed ethically concerning issues in healthcare arising from the corporatization of medicine\, particularly the misapplication of the federal Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986\, she is dedicated to reforming of this law. She has sought to educate the public\, physicians\, and other healthcare professionals about these issues through her Substack and is collaborating on legislative efforts to reform HCQIA. \nDr. Coleen Rickabaugh has 30 years of experience practicing emergency medicine. She served as the recruiter for their department and has been the volunteer medical director for emergency medical services\, directing pre-hospital care in the county.  While her allopathic training had prepared her to treat true emergencies\, she quickly realized that many patients who presented to the emergency department were in desperate need of primary care. Having a holistic slant and a “whole person” philosophy of medicine\, she incorporated that into her practice model\, frequently educating patients about the dangers of over-reliance on pharmaceutical agents and coaching them on issues of immune health\, food as medicine\, and the importance of physical activity. She became increasingly disillusioned by the administrative usurpation of medicine\, the abandonment of ethics\, the substitution of protocol medicine for critical thinking\, and the lack of accessibility to proper care for many patients. These concerns peaked during the Covid pandemic. She became a Covid dissident and formed an underground alliance with one like-minded family practitioner in the community to treat patients early with immune support and assist them in navigating inpatient care with medical autonomy and informed consent. Having experienced moral injury\, she left clinical medicine to embark on healthcare advocacy issues\, partnering with Dr. Patricia Robitaille on a mission to reform the Health Care Quality Improvement Act that is failing as a patient safety mechanism and eroding the physician-patient relationship which is so vital for the optimization of patient health. \nTicket Information\n$65 per person includes a tasty Italian themed dinner and drinks.
