A substantial amount of traffic to Brownstone comes from Twitter, and Twitter has been down today. This is why we are sending this special email because we are right now hosting some extremely important content you have to see.
We draw special attention to Dr. Harvey Risch’s rendezvous with “artificial intelligence” over Hydroxychloroquine. Harvey won. AI even apologized for its own misinformation. That’s more than can be said of the CDC.
Please have a look at the piece if only to gain insight into how AI works. It scrapes the Internet for conventional wisdom, which is easily gamed.
Did you see the report yet on youth suicides? They are up 37%. The tragedy is beyond description, and yet fully predicted and expected. The crisis is real. And getting worse.
Brownstone is doing everything possible to promote serious research, accurate information, and real solutions. We don’t accept advertising and we are not funded by government. This is why we need your help.
Here is some content since our last email:
Green Monkeys, You Say? By Robert Kogon. Green monkeys were the source of the infamous 1967 Marburg virus outbreak. Well, the production facility of BioNTech is not only located in Marburg, it is the very facility where the Marburg virus outbreak occurred!
My Conversation with AI Over Hydroxychloroquine By Harvey Risch. I apologize for any confusion or frustration that my previous responses may have caused. As an AI language model, I do not intentionally provide incorrect information. However, I understand that I made errors in my previous responses, and I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience that this may have caused.
An Unofficial Q&A on International Health Regulations By David Bell and Thi Thuy Van Dinh. 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.
A Genealogy of Corporatism By Jeffrey Tucker. Corporatism abolishes the competitive dynamic of competitive capitalism and replaces it with cartels run by oligarchs. It reduces growth and prosperity. It is invariably corrupt. It promises efficiency but yields only graft. It expands the gaps between rich and poor and creates and entrenches deep fissures between the rulers and ruled. It dispenses with localism, religious particularism, rights of families, and aesthetic traditionalism. It also ends in violence.
Kennedy, DeSantis and a Covid Reckoning Election by Ramesh Thakur. 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 skeptics and opponents.
The Pharmacological Path to Soft-Core Totalitarianism By Clayton Baker. 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.
Where Is the Silver Lining? By Michael Sutton. How then, do we respond to darkness and wickedness? We need to respond to darkness with light, a renewed sense of community, which is where most of us live, not drowning in darkness, prejudice, and suspicion, but communities of light. There are a lot of things wrong with our world today and there are many usual suspects: fascism, digital currencies, war, the WHO, the WEF, the rise of the corporate state, Covid Hysteria, Climate Hysteria.
Can We Please Have Some Honesty About Trump’s Lockdowns? By Alan Dowd. This isn’t about supporting DeSantis or any other candidate. It’s about discovering who has learned from history and who would repeat the mistakes of March 2020. Every candidate running for every federal office and statewide office should be asked where they stand on this fundamental issue—because there will be other viruses, other pandemics, other computer models that tempt or terrify those in power. In a nation founded on individual liberty and individual responsibility, lockdowns cannot become the new-normal response to such events.
Paying the Price for Campus Closures By Rob Jenkins. Could all this pain have been prevented if campuses had just reopened fully in the fall of 2020? Perhaps not—but much of it could have. At worst, we would have continued our gradual downhill roll toward the 2026 cliff, giving legislators and administrators plenty of time to prepare.
Better to Have No Commission Than This One By Laura Dodsworth. Next time there is a pandemic, people will be able to say ‘Baroness Hallett’s report stated that the UK government didn’t lock down fast – or hard – enough. We won’t make that mistake again!’ There will be no redemption, just a long, hard sentence, swiftly imposed. Once again, lives will be ruined, not saved.
Mr. Tucker, Acknowledging your piece on the Genealogy of Corporatism. It changed my sense of history which always looked to our forefathers and the religious freedom we enjoyed. And the definition of Corporatism has taken on new meaning. I can't envision how long and hard the fight for freedom will be especially with the ever changing present.
