Commentary The idea of democracy as it emerged gradually out of the Enlightenment, and drawing on ancient forms in Greece and Rome, is that the people govern themselves. People serve as the main determinants of the rules, laws, and legislation under which they live. They even set the rules concerning what people are allowed to…
Supreme Court Receptive to Pitch to Allow Court Challenges to Administrative State Powers
A security technology company and an accountant claiming unfair treatment at the hands of federal agencies’ in-house administrative tribunals urged a seemingly receptive Supreme Court on Nov. 7 to make it easier to challenge their structure. The Supreme Court could use the opportunity to rein in the so-called administrative state and reaffirm the separation of…
But Will Elections Change Anything?
Commentary It’s coming up in a fortnight. For many people, all their hopes rest on the outcome. I get it because these seem like very dark times. We cannot live without hope. But we also need realism. The problems are deep, pervasive, scandalously entrenched. Many people won financially and in terms of power from lockdowns…
The Deep State Plays the Financial Markets
Commentary The least-investigated part of the federal government is the senior civil service. It’s invisible to mainstream media mostly because reporters rely heavily on career bureaucrats for reporting and tips. Therefore, they leave it alone for career reasons. It becomes a kind of cabal with each side protecting the other. The administrative state is easily…

Commentary I’ve just woken up to the astonishing news that Anthony Fauci’s agency (NIAID) has doled out another $653,392 to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance. The money began to flow last week. Alex Berenson seems to have broken the story. I’m in a state of disorientation and amazement, as are many others. The grant makes…
When Did Trump Change His Mind About Lockdowns?
Commentary All sources we have so far testify that Trump greenlighted nationwide lockdowns the weekend of March 14–15, 2020, under the influence of Deborah Birx, Anthony Fauci, Jared Kushner, and a few others. Brownstone has documented this weekend in great detail. This disastrous decision culminated in the press conference of March 16, 2020. At this event…

Commentary It is clear to me that we have become a “Regulation Nation.” And we are governed by an “Administrative State.” What do I mean by that? I mean that we are being governed by regulations issued by administrative agencies, instead of being governed by laws duly passed by our elected officials. Why does that matter? Because agencies are…
Who Will Own the Lockdowns?
Commentary It is hard to find anyone in government today who is willing to take responsibility for worldwide lockdowns that copied the CCP’s failed method of virus control. Anthony Fauci claims that he never had anything to do with them, following two years of taking credit for them. Last week, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said…

Commentary Remember the transitional and temporary inflation that was supposed to come and go? We are now getting warnings from high up that this is the new normal. It’s a pattern with which we’ve become very familiar. Two weeks of lockdown became two years. One-hundred days of masking turned into a full year, and the…
How to Tame a Bureaucracy? Get Rid of It
Commentary Any serious effort to end the crisis must deal with the problem of the administrative state and the bureaucratic power thereof. Without that focus, no reform effort can get anywhere. That is surely a main takeaway from the trauma of our times. The solution has to be drastic and it has to work. The…
