Brownstone provides a progress report.
I’m not going to impute bad motives to them, but I’m suspicious of their elite connections. They claim to be reforming the elite with secret “retreats” at hoity-toity resorts. Could be. But when the elite get together with the non-elite, the influence and power flows one way. Reforming the system from within NEVER works.
The article contains one indisputably valid point:

Most of life since those days has been about the coverup. That has involved strange denials, redactions, data burns, communication deletes, limited hangouts, sock puppets, switchboarding between cutouts, favor call-ins, and every clever trick in the art of war to confound, confuse, and conspire – all in the interest of keeping the public in the dark.
The good guys in this struggle only have one source of power: the ability to speak truth. It so happens that this method, while it certainly invites the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, is the most powerful one of all. That’s because truth is infinitely reproducible.
= = = = = END QUOTE.
This should be the basic purpose of science, and it IS the basic purpose of metrology.
Reality is the same no matter who observes it.
Quantum quackery is Deepstate’s perversion of metrology, claiming that reality is only what a Tenured Professor Of Physics observes at each moment. That’s Room 101, not science.
Metrology is the imperfect attempt to guarantee consistent observation of consistent reality. Always make the same measurement with the same methods EVERY time. Never revise your methods or change your units. If you decide to use a new method, call it something new. Don’t confuse things by calling your new arbitrary figure “inflation” or “unemployment”. You must continue to calculate every important and consequential number the SAME WAY EVERY FUCKING TIME FOREVER. Otherwise it is NOT A MEASUREMENT. If you change the rules all the time you are a TYRANT AND PSYCHOPATH, not a scientist or observer.
Ordinary people practice metrology without knowing it. They recognize when prices go up compared to income. Last year we could pay the rent. This year we can’t pay the rent. That’s a controlled experiment. That’s real science. Ordinary people aren’t confused by fake arbitrary quantum “data”.

Maintaining truth OUTSIDE elite circles, and making it available to anyone, is the only incorruptible way to influence the elite. You have to hope that one powerful person, who was a loyal servant of Deepstate UNTIL NOW, will suddenly change his commands to assist the people instead of killing the people. He must change quickly and maintain the change without wavering. We have one shining example of reform in the economic sphere: Jerome Powell.
There are no examples at all within the Public “Health” tyranny. Nothing advances, nothing changes. Nobody has departed from the insane consensus.
Until we see a clearly visible Powell-style switch INSIDE the “medical” tyranny, I’ll continue to doubt Brownstone’s effectiveness.
= = = = =
Later thought: Powell is the perfect examplar of the switch we need.
He had been enforcing a BUSH economic policy. In 2008 BUSH violated and inverted all the rules of economics by forcing ZIRP and QE.
In March 2020 the BUSH plan for Public “Health” was implemented, violating and inverting all the existing rules of public health, which were established by 500 years of painful and careful experiments and experience.
Powell restored normal economics by letting interest serve as a natural feedback mechanism. The equivalent reformer would restore normal public health by letting immunity serve as a natural feedback mechanism, instead of smashing it with panics and sleep-deprivation and lockdowns and waterboarding and fake vaccines.
