The Journey to Restoration Begins

Reflecting on the Past

Almost half a decade has passed since the lockdowns and the subsequent turmoil that followed. This man-made catastrophe was experienced by all, but some bore the brunt more than others. While governments and their allies fared well, the rest of society was stripped of their freedom and prosperity. The response to the pandemic led to unprecedented levels of destruction and despair.

These outcomes were foreseen, and we opposed the policies at every turn. Now, the Brownstone Institute seeks your support to carry this institution, its mission, and our society into the next phase.

A Glimmer of Hope

We are greatly encouraged, and we know you are too, to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This isn't just due to political shifts, but also the lifting of illusions, the unmasking of lies, and the exposure of folly.

The winter of despair may indeed be giving way to the spring of hope. However, the damage is beyond measure. The powers that orchestrated this are still at the helm. Threats lurk everywhere, from powerful bureaucracies to monopolized industries to the pervasive surveillance state.

The Struggle Continues

Our mission is far from complete. People are still being denied banking services. Some of the finest scholars have been expelled from academia. Exceptional doctors are battling for their rights. Top-tier journalists have lost their platforms, and scientists have lost funding. The march towards central bank digital currencies persists. Injuries from vaccines are widespread.

The giant is still alive and well, albeit frightened and less confident than before.

The challenge we face is unlike anything we've seen in many generations.

Regaining Trust

The "age of disbelief" – a term coined by Charles Dickens – might be fading, but we struggle to find something to believe in. The once-trusted sources have fallen: media, academia, pharmaceutical companies, political leaders, traditional institutions, and experts. We can no longer trust Google, Facebook, or any of the tech giants.

They were all complicit. We know that now. In such times, we can only turn to truth, facts, evidence, ethics, and the fundamental belief that drives the Brownstone Institute: freedom.

Our Journey So Far

Since our establishment during the darkest times, we've backed the dissenters, the opposing ideas, published genuine research, and somehow circumvented the censors to amass millions of followers worldwide.

To keep the flame of justice alive and growing, please consider supporting our work now. It's never been more critical. We must maintain the pressure and make it clear that we will not comply, neither intellectually nor physically.

The Path Forward

We've learned that we can't rely on the system to correct itself. It requires citizen participation, dissenting voices, significant community involvement, and a fair amount of risk-taking. It also necessitates alternative support mechanisms for those brave enough to speak out during challenging times.

It's the only way, and it's heartening to see how relieved many people worldwide are that the US seems to be making efforts to rectify itself. The Covid lockdowns had a global reach. The entire world is now crying out for justice and freedom. It might be on the horizon, with the US leading the charge.

Your Contributions Matter

Your previous donations to Brownstone have made what seemed impossible a few years ago possible. Our research has been cited in court cases, a major book by a Supreme Court justice, and major media like the Wall Street Journal, and has been reprinted on viral alternative media sources, in addition to countless reprints in all major languages.

Most of the research we advocated for years is now a daily topic in the news. Our website, Brownstone.org, serves as a powerful tool for writers worldwide, having documented every crime and every bad actor.

Our Impact

We now see the difference it makes. We also believe that our alternative model of institutional structure has been crucial. We operate with a small staff and minimal operating costs. The focus is on the mission, the message, fellowships, and reach: as a result, every dollar of our budget goes towards the mission.

It's a new model of nonprofit structure – realizing the vision rather than building a bloated institution – deserving of attention in every business journal.

Rebuilding Freedom

Our society and all countries have been given an opportunity to rebuild and correct what's gone wrong. We must seize it. We can't sit back and rely on politicians to improve things. There is no single hero we can pin all our hopes on. Rebuilding freedom is everyone's responsibility.

New voices have emerged, and they come from people who are battle-tested and fully committed to the task. Brownstone Institute has adopted many of the bravest voices and supported their work for years. Your support for this work makes it possible to continue it. We simply cannot walk away now with the hope that all will be well. The road to recovery is long and strenuous, but it can be done.

Overcoming the Dystopian Reality

It was just a few years ago that certain elites in high positions began to belittle freedom, even misspelling it as "freedumb." Your rights to live freely were said to be contrary to public health, security, and science. It was like a dystopian novel come to life, fiction made real before our very eyes.

Brownstone burst onto the scene with extensive literature reviews proving that lockdowns are only damaging, that masks don't work, that every remedy from Plexiglas to mass testing systems has no effect, and that the vaccines were always based on the vain hope of sterilizing a respiratory virus with a zoonotic reservoir.

It was all pseudo-science, every bit of it from the start. It was deployed for the purpose of a power grab by the national security state. They still hold that power, and the target was and is your liberty.

It needed rectification. Everything about the experience needed exposure and resetting.

Challenging the Establishment

Brownstone Institute literature reviews undoubtedly shook the establishment, and we came under heavy attack from the usual suspects. So did our scholars, researchers, and working groups on pandemic planning, censorship, and financial centralization.

We were called every name and subjected to slanderous smears along the way. Some people have said Brownstone is the leading source of "misinformation" on the Internet – the very center of a web – but you know what this means. It means we are independent of the media cartel and report inconvenient truths.

Despite it all, here we are, not just surviving but thriving. This is entirely thanks to generous donors, without whom nothing could happen.

Our Achievements

In the meantime, we've published thousands of studies and 18 books including a suppressed history of medicine by the great historian Harris Coulter. His own publisher took the books out of print during the Covid years but his family stepped up and allowed the reprinting. Now they are available as guides to reform in the years to come.

Brownstone is on every social media platform, with special emphasis on those that do not censor.

We held around 50 public events too, and if you have attended, you know the spirit. There is warmth, community, intelligence, and confidence in the future. We've formed new friendships in the darkest times that will carry us many years into the future.

Leading the Way

So many trends are headed in the right direction, with many Brownstone writers and scholars leading the way. You surely know the names by now. Some are on all your podcasts and videos and some appear on the nightly news.

Others are headed now to high positions in the next administration. You know this and you know the names so there is no reason to reprint them all here. Look through a list of our Fellows, scholars, and authors and you will see.

Responsible Giving

Responsible giving is always a challenge. When you look where the fortunes of Bill Gates, George Soros, and Jeff Bezos go, it is completely shocking. This is not philanthropy but malanthropy, doing harm rather than good.

But it can be defeated. It's remarkable to watch the trajectory and power of good ideas as pushed by Brownstone Institute, its Fellows, and partners, with a budget of a tiny fraction of the big players out there, many of whom are government-funded.

Your Contribution Matters

Your contribution to our work – tax-deductible to the full extent allowed – allows the continued flourishing of truth. It worked in the darkest times and it can work even more now that we have begun to see the dawn.

We only do this push once per year, and much of our plans for next year are determined by the extent of your generosity, without which we could do nothing. If you believe in the cause of human freedom, and its capacity to overcome even the most powerful obstacles, please join us as a donor and supporter.

Your investment in Brownstone Institute is an investment in the future of civilized life itself.

Will you donate with your most generous contribution now? Thank you so much for considering. They used to say during the lockdowns that "We are all in this together." It was propaganda then, but true now: the cause of freedom is something for all of us.

We truly are all in this together: uncovering the truth, achieving justice for the wrongs done, restoring health, and fighting through the thicket of lies to secure the blessings of freedom now and in the future.

This is the meaning of your investment in the work of Brownstone Institute.

Bottom Line

The journey to restoration is a long and arduous one, but with collective effort, it is achievable. The Brownstone Institute has been at the forefront of this struggle, advocating for truth, justice, and freedom. Their work has been instrumental in exposing the flaws in the system and offering a platform for dissenting voices. As we move forward, the role of institutions like the Brownstone Institute becomes even more crucial. What are your thoughts on this? Share this article with your friends and join the conversation.
