Dignity Is Yours To Lose
It's all about non-compliance
Notice how they aren’t backing down? Far from it. They are doubling down, not only lockdowns but censorship, surveillance, and even travel restrictions (15-minute cities). Covid, as it turns out, is their template for the future.
Can these plans be beaten back? Certainly, just as the vaccine passports went down in flames due to public resistance. But it is going to take work. All hands on heck, as they say.
And speaking of: we are pleased to announce that our shadow World Health Organization, designed to keep and eye on this nascent world government, is one-quarter funded, enough to get things going. We still have a long way to go to get it fully operational. If you want to help, please support Brownstone.
Reminder that Dr. Harvey Risch will join us at our Supper Club, March 22, 2023, for which you can register here.
Here is some content since our last email:
Dignity Is Yours To Lose BY RICHARD KELLY. The extraordinary turmoil of the last three years, on the surface, is ebbing away. But the undercurrents are as strong as ever, dragging us further away from the dignity that used to be inherent in our daily lives, our encounters with others, our institutions, our nations.
States Can Break Through Pharma’s Liability Shield BY BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE. State officials across the nation can help usher in the “new generation of Republican leadership” that Governor Sanders described. They can fight against the federal government’s insulation of Big Pharma, affirm their commitment to the justice of the Seventh Amendment, and champion the rights of their citizens against the widely distrusted, highly profitable industry.
What the WHO Is Actually Proposing BY DAVID BELL. These proposed instruments, as currently drafted, would fundamentally change the relationship between the WHO, its Member States and naturally their populations, promoting a fascist and neo-colonialist approach to healthcare and governance. The documents need to be viewed together, and in the far wider context of the global/globalist pandemic preparedness agenda.
The Jaywalker and the Covid Police BY MARK OSHINSKIE. Like the ticky-tacky crosswalk cop, people should have tuned out the Covid “experts” and politicians from the beginning and instead trusted their own observations and common sense. Instead of heavy-handed, top-down, theatrical top-down mitigation measures, society would have been far better off if people had been allowed to live normally. The experts’ advice and government mitigation measures were—and are— nagging, nugatory and negative.
Fauci Wanted Universal Human Separation Forever BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER. One might suppose it would be top headlines that the man who crafted the Covid response for the world was merely using this as the lever to reverse 12,000 years of human history. Indeed in that sense, “going medieval” is a mere step in a long road back. Forget the Constitution. Forget the Enlightenment. Forget even the golden age of the Roman Empire. Fauci wants to take us back long before there are any actual historical records: a conjectural Rousseauian state of nature where we lived by foraging for food around us and nothing more.
Tomás Pueyo Returns: The MBA Who Shut Down Europe on Masks and the Cochrane Review BY MICHAEL SENGER. To this day, it remains unclear where Pueyo got the ideas for virus containment for his 2020 articles. To some degree, Pueyo’s ideas mirrored those of major lockdown proponents like Imperial College Professor Neil Ferguson—architect of the wildly-inaccurate COVID models that instigated lockdowns across the free world—who’d already endorsed global lockdown measures.
Are We Medicating Millions of ADHD Children without Scientific Justification? BY YAAKOV OPHIR. Stimulant brands for ADHD, such as Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, or Vyvanse rank at the top of the best-selling lists of medications for children. Indeed, the American dream may play a significant role in the proliferation of such cognitive enhancers in the US, but the rush for the magic pills crosses national borders. In fact, the ‘semi-final’ countries that are currently ‘winning’ the Ritalin Olympics, according to the International Narcotics Control Board, are: Iceland, Israel, Canada, and Holland.
Testimony to the Senate of the Republic of Mexico BY ROBERT MALONE. The clearly arbitrary and capricious US Government and WHO mismanagement and over reaction to the COVIDcrisis, to Monkeypox, and to many other infectious disease outbreaks in the past demonstrate that neither US nor WHO have the organizational maturity and capabilities to merit conceding Mexican public health sovereignty to these organizations.
How We Know it Started in Wuhan BY WILL JONES. It does appear that the December outbreak in Wuhan where it was first detected was the largest to that date. In addition, the following month Wuhan was the first place to experience an explosive outbreak that taxed the health services, some weeks before anywhere else. The fact that it was ahead of the curve in these larger outbreaks is a strong indicator that the virus had been there longest and originally emerged there.
Ron DeSantis on Florida’s Covid Response By Brownstone Institute. Most political biographies are canned, conventional, and obviously manipulative. This one is not. It is honest, frank, exciting, accurate, and an overall excellent read, especially on the topics that truly matter to the future.
On the Mask Study: An Interview with the Author By Maryanne Demasi. There’s no evidence that they do work. It’s possible they could work in some settings….we’d know if we’d done trials. All you needed was for Tedros [from WHO] to declare it’s a pandemic and they could have randomised half of the United Kingdom, or half of Italy, to masks and the other half to no masks. But they didn’t. Instead, they ran around like headless chickens.
Why Is Our Education System Failing to Educate? By Julie Ponesse. Out of these early universities was born the concept of liberal arts — grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy — studies which are “liberal” not because they are easy or unserious, but because they are suitable for those who are free (liberalis), as opposed to slaves or animals. In the era before SME’s (subject matter experts), these are the subjects thought to be essential preparation for becoming a good, well-informed citizen who is an effective participant in public life.
The Premature Use Of Mechanical Ventilation in the First Wave of the Covid Pandemic By Pierre Kory. Of all the Covid “rabbit holes” I have gone down, each one then led to me entering an often public “science battle,” only some of which I have “won.” But I did win a few, none more successful than when I immediately shut down the shocking and rapidly spreading obsessive practice by ER and ICU doctors with putting Covid patients on ventilators “early.”
Have the Ancient Gods Returned? By Naomi Wolf. None of that fracturing or mismanagement of normal history took place in the global rush to “lockdowns,” the rollout of COVID hysteria, of “mandates,” masking, of global child abuse, of legacy media lying internationally at scale and all lying in one direction, of thousands of “trusted messengers” parroting a single script, and of forced or coerced mRNA injections into at least half of the humans on Planet Earth. What is happening?
The FDA’s Paxlovid Pandemonium By David Gortler. Not only was evidence of failure deliberately ignored; prospective testing methodologies were altered mid-trial to favor a positive outcome when it became apparent that the Paxlovid trial results would not meet their original endpoints. In fact, Pfizer had already opted to halt its Paxlovid trial when it saw that it didn’t work.
Woody Harrelson Demonstrates the Pain of Truth By Jeffrey A. Tucker. The veil of myth that surrounds the great trauma of our lives needs rending at some point. Perhaps it starts just this way: with truth-telling fables in the guise of comedy that fall flat on shocked audiences who prefer to keep up the illusion that all of this happened in the name of public health.
