A U.S. District Court jury in Camden, New Jersey, awarded $25.6 million to a white former Starbucks manager who claimed the company engaged in reverse discrimination when it fired her amid protests over the arrests of two Black customers.

Jurors heard Shannon Phillips’ claims that she was fired because the company needed a scapegoat as it faced a public relations crisis over the racially charged incident.

Starbucks came under heavy criticism after a manager at a Philadelphia location called police to report that the two men were sitting down at the cafe without ordering anything.

Following a six-day trial, the jury awarded $300,000 in compensatory damages and $12.5 million in punitive damages on Phillips’ federal civil rights claim and another $300,000 in compensatory and $12.5 million in punitives for violations of New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination.

Pharmaceuticals producer BioNTech is facing compensation claims in Germany after two law firms claimed clients suffered lasting health problems as a result of the company’s coronavirus jab.

BioNTech, which is based in Mainz, entered court this week in its first German hearing.

The case has been brought against the German biotechnology company on behalf of a middle-aged medical worker.

A hospital and doctors in California are facing a new lawsuit for removing the breasts of a 13-year-old girl after she claimed she was a boy.

The defendants carried out “ideological and profit-driven medical abuse” when they prescribed her puberty blockers and hormones and, later, performed a double mastectomy, Charles LiMandri, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiff, Layla Jane, said in a statement.

Jane, now 18, was influenced by people online when she was just 11 and told her parents that she was a boy, prompting them to ask for guidance from doctors.

While three doctors said Jane was too young for cross-sex hormones, she was eventually referred to several other doctors who prescribed her puberty blockers and hormones. Within six months, they removed her breasts.

The hormones and puberty blockers were given based on a single, 75-minute session with Susanne Watson, a psychologist, according to the suit. Dr. Winnie Tong, a plastic surgeon, concluded after a 30-minute session that Jane could have her breasts removed.

How much money did they get to mutilate that girl?

The parents were told that if they do not do the surgery, their kid would likely commit suicide. They had faith in the doctors and were fearful for their child. Remember, a whole team of medical pros worked to convince the parents. I doubt it was a case of wanting to brag about having a transitioned kid.

💉 The Epoch Times ran an exclusive on the 23rd headlined, “Over 300 [Canadian Armed Forces] Members Launch $500 Million Lawsuit Against Military for COVID Vaccine Mandates.”

More signs of life in Canada! On June 21st, 330 active or former members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who allege they were harmed by jab mandates have filed a class-action lawsuit against high-ranking members of the Canadian military, seeking $500 million in damages.

The statement of claim from the service members’ complaint explained:

The CAF shirked its own purpose and rushed an untested product onto its members, mislabeled this experimental gene therapy a ‘vaccine,’ knowingly made false statements of safety and efficacy, and facilitated its mandate with no option to refuse except for mandatory permanent removal from service.
Alberta-based lawyer Catherine Christensen of Valour Law, which specializes in military law, filed the class-action lawsuit on behalf of the CAF members. She said the lawsuit amounts to approximately $1,000,000 for each of the plaintiffs, plus “extensive other damages; Essentially, a lawsuit for about $500,000,000.”

As far as I can tell, with my limited knowledge of Canadian military law, the complaint appears to be well and professionally drafted. Let’s see what the Canadian federal court will do with it. But it may have some legs. On June 15th, a Canadian independent military tribunal found that the military mandate violated the charter rights of service members who refused the jabs.

In particular, the tribunal concluded the vaccine policy was “arbitrary” and “overly broad.” Its report stated, “No room was left for consideration of any other factors, such as the member’s representations or the member’s service record. This process was fundamentally unfair towards the members.”

The tribunal’s findings are advisory in nature and non-binding, but are considered persuasive.

This tribunal’s recommendation might be the very first successful official proceeding with a favorable result against mandates. Presumably Ms. Christenson’s new lawsuit will use the tribunal’s findings to add weight to the lawsuit’s claims.

Progress.

FUCK the parents! I would never, ever give up my role as a parent to a anyone else, and I don't give a shit how many fucking degrees they hang on their wall. That child is mine, no one else's, and at that age I am the MOST responsible person, and the most to blame if I ever did something that fucking cowardly.

I don't armchair QB this shit either. I have three daughters, and several schools where my wife claims the office staff is afraid of me. If I allow my daughter out of my site, whoever she's with knows very clearly the limits to their authority in her life.

Their daughter will rightly blame them for most of her life, and they fucking deserve it.

Scott, myself, and Steve Kirsch, President of the Vaccine Safety Research Council, are formally complaining that the DoEd NACIQI has failed to conduct proper past pandemic reviews of the Council on Education of Public Health ("CEPH") which has resulted in serious conflicts of interest by graduates of the schools its accredits in the promotion of vaccines without proper evaluation standards because of monetary incentives and research grants provided by the US government and Big Pharma to the schools of public health. We have requested a public hearing and denial of the renewal application for accreditation authority of CEPH because it has failed to adopt proper criteria to accredit the schools, particularly they neglected to teach that conflicts of interest must be eliminated. Promotion of COVID-19 vaccines has been influenced by the favor of acceptance of bonuses, bribes, grants, and employment, and as a result, has caused death and injury to patients as a result of CEPH failure to properly enforce public health education standards.”

Complaints are good too.

Houston Doctor Files Federal Lawsuit Against FDA Over Ivermectin Statements
Houston’s Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and two other doctors say the FDA is illegally interfering with their ability to practice medicine.
HOLLY HANSEN
JUNE 2, 2022

A group of doctors has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over the FDA’s attempts to block the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
Filed in the U.S. Southern District of Texas in Galveston, the complaint notes that the FDA has approved ivermectin for human use since 1996 for a multitude of diseases. But after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency began publishing documents and social media posts to give the impression that the anti-viral drug was dangerous for human consumption.

The plaintiffs, Drs. Mary Talley Bowden, Paul E. Marik, and Robert L. Apter, argue the FDA acted outside of its authority and illegally interfered in their ability to practice medicine by publicly directing health professionals and patients to not use ivermectin.

Bowden, a Houston-area Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, asserted during a virtual press conference Wednesday that she had kept 3,900 COVID patients out of the hospital by using ivermectin and other medications, but that FDA statements interfered with her work.

“The FDA smear campaign against ivermectin is a daily hurdle I must overcome,” Bowden said. “Still two and a half years into this, this is still a hurdle. Pharmacists won’t dispense it, insurance companies won’t pay for it, and I have patients who want reassurance that it is safe to take. I tell them it’s actually the safest medication I’ve ever prescribed.”

FDA publications and actions cited by plaintiffs include a 2021 social media post with pictures of a horse captioned “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” and a link to an agency article entitled, “Why You Should Not Take Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19.” According to the plaintiffs, the original article stated the FDA’s official position against using ivermectin without acknowledging that doctors could legally prescribe the drug.

The complaint cites U.S. code stating the FDA “may not interfere with the authority of a health care provider to prescribe or administer any legally marked device to a patient for any condition or disease within a legitimate health care practitioner-patient relationship.”

Marik, an internist and critical care doctor certified by boards in the U.S., Britain, Canada, and South Africa, told reporters that ivermectin is a highly effective drug for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and one of the “safest [drugs] on this planet.”

Saying there were more deaths associated with the use of Tylenol than ivermectin, Marik said the FDA’s “illegal” attempts to block the use of ivermectin could be responsible for between 400,000 and 600,000 COVID deaths. He added that there have been “a thousand times more deaths” related to COVID-19 vaccinations over the past year and a half than ivermectin-related deaths over the last 25 years. ...

“The FDA’s illegal pressuring of doctors to not prescribe, and the pharmacists to not fill prescriptions of ivermectin for COVID-19 is a direct cause of the threats to my medical license,” Apter told reporters. “I am being investigated by three state medical boards, each threatening my medical license based on complaints from pharmacists that I have prescribed ivermectin for COVID-19.”

“In all these cases the patients did very well.”

Apter said in each investigation, the pharmacists cited FDA statements and publications on ivermectin use for COVID-19.

Plaintiffs are asking the federal courts to declare the FDA actions or opinions regarding off-label use of ivermectin unlawful and to enjoin the agencies from further interference.

That's not enough.

The people at the FDA who lied about ivermectin over and over must be prosecuted.

Apr. 27—A federal judge has ruled that a defamation suit filed by a Marietta-based immigration activist against the Southern Poverty Law Center can proceed.

D.A. King, the founder and leader of the Dustin Inman Society, is suing the Southern Poverty Law Center over its designation of his organization as an "anti-immigrant hate group."

The Dustin Inman Society advocates for tougher enforcement of immigration laws and on its website states that it "believe(s) the fundamental duty of the federal government is to enforce federal laws, to secure American borders and protect the American people from unauthorized and uninspected border crossings."

The group is named for Dustin Inman, a Georgia teenager killed in a car crash — law enforcement said the crash was caused by an immigrant living in the country illegally. (the illegal driver was drunk, which of course Yahoo! took out of the story)

The group says it does not oppose legal immigration and that its board includes legal immigrants.

The SPLC, meanwhile, alleges on its website that the Dustin Inman Society "poses as an organization concerned about immigration issues, yet focuses on vilifying all immigrants."

According to the suit, the SPLC first designated the Dustin Inman Society as a hate group in 2018. In 2011, an SPLC representative told the Associated Press they had not labeled it a hate group since its tactics have "generally not been to get up in the face of actual immigrants and threaten them," and has rather been "working on ... legislation through the political process."

Suing the SPLC should be reflexive. If anybody knows a credible org dedicated to suing the SPLC, let me know.

How soon are we gonna see a Lawsuit against the Biden administration to stop the Student Loan fraud.

You see the Federal student loan program was sold to Congress as a revenue positive program. That's right the government was supposed to make money on it while providing funding for those seeking to improve themselves through getting a college education.

Well, the Department of Education lied about the profitability of the program. Looks like the government lost money on it, and that was before the Biden giveaway of a smaller percentage of income needed for loan "repayment" and a shorter period before the loan was discharged if these minimal payments were met.

When the loan repayments restart (even with these lower amounts to be paid) the default rate is gonna be enormous.

There is gonna be a massive Reeeeeeeeeee when the free money is cut off.

There is NO possibility the student loan program will end.

The purpose of the federal student loan program is to make permanent slaves. The loans are NOT meant to be paid back. They are designed to keep the individual in permanent servitude. They are considered an asset by the Federal government, and compose part of this nation's "wealth".

People wringing their hands that loan forgiveness will happen, are pretty naive if they are over 40.

In most cases, the loans HAVE been paid back. The government prints money, gives it IMMEDIATELY to the university for the student loan, so the University is already whole. Interest then comes into play, and frequently the student has already paid off the loan many times over.

Nope, the Student Loan Program is a net loss for the Federal Government.

Last year it was projected that the loss was about $200 billion over the preceding 25 years.

Biden has since increased the program loss figures by his manipulation of the repayment amounts, forgiveness calculations, etc.

Basically Biden has come to the correct conclusion that if a loan cannot be repaid...then it won't be repaid. --- This could become mute during a hyper-inflation.

🐭 Yesterday, Reuters ran an encouraging story headlined, “Florida judge rules against Disney in feud with DeSantis.”

The lawsuit was filed by the new oversight district created by Governor DeSantis to manage Disney’s Reedy Creek area. The oversight district has sued to cancel a bunch of last-minute “backroom deals” that Disney made with itself to try to thwart oversight.

Yesterday the Florida judge denied Disney’s motion to dismiss, so the lawsuit will continue. Dismissal is the first major test of a lawsuit and is the gate plaintiffs need to survive in order to start discovery. Disney is not going to enjoy discovery over their skulduggery.

This is not Disney’s separate federal lawsuit arguing Florida’s new law violates Disney’s corporate First Amendment rights, and claiming Florida deleted its special tax district as punishment for politicking on behalf of LGBTQIA++ issues.

Let’s get that discovery going.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/food-service-giant-sued-over-white-men-need-not-apply-program

A former employee of a large food service corporation is suing the company in federal court after it fired her for refusing to participate in a program that discriminates against white male employees.

Courtney Rogers worked for Charlotte, North Carolina-based Compass Group USA Inc. from her home office in San Diego, California.

The company had more than 280,000 employees and $20.1 billion in revenue in 2019, according to its LinkedIn profile. One of the world’s largest employers, the company has thousands of employees in California and counts among its clients Dodger Stadium, San Francisco International Airport, Uber, Snapchat, Netflix, Disney Studios, and NBC Universal. ...

Compass created a program it called “Operation Equity” in March 2022, a purported diversity program that offered qualified employees special training and mentorship and the promise of a promotion upon graduation, according to the legal complaint that was filed in Rogers v. Compass Group USA Inc.

But participation in the program was restricted to “women and people of color.” White men were not allowed to participate and receive the associated benefits of training, mentorship, and guaranteed promotion.

By calling it “Operation Equity,” the company “used a euphemistic and false title to hide the program’s true nature.” The program would more accurately be called the “White-Men-Need-Not-Apply” program because it is an example of “‘outright racial balancing,’ which is patently unlawful,” and is the kind of program “promoted by people … who harbor racial animus against white men,” according to the legal complaint. ...

“Not only was she trying to do the right thing by standing up to this, but she was also trying to protect Compass Group because Compass Group was doing something illegal. And so she was standing up to this injustice, and as a result, she was fired.”

Ms. Rogers is seeking financial compensatory damages for discrimination and retaliation. She is also asking for a court order requiring the company’s senior management in human resources to participate in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Fair Treatment training, classes, and oversight to make sure that the company does not discriminate and retaliate against other employees the way it did with Ms. Rogers.

Former Evergreen schools teacher who brought MAGA hat to staff training settles case for $400K
9th Circuit ruled in December that former Wy’east Middle School principal violated his First Amendment rights

A former Evergreen Public Schools teacher who alleged retaliation by his principal after he brought a “Make America Great Again” hat to a staff-only training reached a settlement of $400,000 in the case.

In December, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Caroline Garrett, then the principal at Wy’east Middle School, violated Eric Dodge’s First Amendment rights by alleging the hat was inappropriate given the setting. The incidents occurred on two occasions just before the start of the 2019-2020 school year, the first of which was during a staff-only cultural sensitivity and racial bias training hosted by a professor from Washington State University.

The settlement was reached on June 22 with the Schools Insurance Association of Washington, a property and liability risk pooling program for school districts with enrollments in excess of 2,000 students, of which Evergreen is a member. The funds were paid for by the association on behalf of Garrett.

Elon Musk Sues Leftist Group over Campaign to ‘Scare’ Advertisers Away from Twitter

https://www.pacermonitor.com/view/NV3GMHQ/X_Corp_a_Nevada_Corporation_v_Center_for_Countering_Digital__candce-23-03836__0001.0.pdf

1. Defendants Center for Countering Digital Hate, Inc. (“CCDH US”) and Center
for Countering Digital Hate Ltd. (“CCDH UK,” collectively “CCDH”) -- activist organizations
masquerading as research agencies, funded and supported by unknown organizations,
individuals and potentially even foreign governments with ties to legacy media companies --
have embarked on a scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform. CCDH has
done this by engaging in a series of unlawful acts designed to improperly gain access to
protected X Corp. data, needed by CCDH so that it could cherry-pick from the hundreds of
millions of posts made each day on X and falsely claim it had statistical support showing the
platform is overwhelmed with harmful content.
2. CCDH intentionally and unlawfully accessed data it sought regarding the X
platform in two ways. CCDH US, as a registered user of X, scraped data from X’s platform in
violation of the express terms of its agreement with X Corp. CCDH also convinced an unknown
third party -- in violation of that third party’s contractual obligations -- to improperly share login
credentials to a secured database that CCDH then accessed, and retrieved information from, on
multiple occasions without authorization. CCDH, in turn, selectively quoted data it obtained via
those methods. It did so out of context in public reports and articles it prepared to make it
appear as if X is overwhelmed by harmful content, and then used that contrived narrative to call
for companies to stop advertising on X.
3. CCDH’s underhanded conduct is nothing new. It has a history of using similar
tactics not for the goal of combating hate, but rather to censor a wide range of viewpoints on
social media with which it disagrees. CCDH’s efforts often rely on obtaining and intentionally
mischaracterizing data in “research” reports it prepares to make it appear as if a few specific
users (often media organizations and high profile individuals) are overwhelming social media
platforms with content that CCDH deems harmful. CCDH uses those reports to demand that
platform providers kick the targeted users off of their platforms, thus silencing their viewpoints
on broadly debated topics such as COVID-19 vaccines, reproductive healthcare, and climate
change. In this manner, CCDH seeks to prevent public dialogue and the public’s access to free
expression in favor of an ideological echo chamber that conforms to CCDH’s favored
viewpoints.

RFK Jr Files Lawsuit against Google over Repeated Censorship on YouTube

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a lawsuit against YouTube’s parent company Google over the streaming platform’s repeated efforts to censor him.

Kennedy’s lawsuit was filed Wednesday and accuses Google of violating his First Amendment rights.

RFK Jr. contends his speeches and interviews were expunged inappropriately from the platform, despite his status as a candidate in the 2024 election.

Kennedy is the lead challenger to President Joe Biden in the Democrat primary.

However, as the presidential primary elections loom, RFK Jr. predicts that the censorship efforts will persist as the establishment colludes to cut him off from voters.

Examples of YouTube’s censorship include Kennedy’s speech at Saint Anselm College, as well as his interviews with Jordan Peterson and Mike Tyson, all of which were deleted by the platform.

The lawsuit argues these content removals are a blatant disregard for his constitutional rights and echo a worrying trend of suppression across the breadth of the campaign.

Kennedy’s legal argument centers on allegations of overreach and the weaponization of government.

The lawsuit condemns the Biden administration for orchestrating a censorship campaign attempt to silence dissenting voices.

“This complaint concerns the freedom of speech and the extraordinary steps the United States government has taken under the leadership of Joe Biden to silence people it does not want Americans to hear,” the filing states.

https://palexander.substack.com/p/boom-australian-govt-sued-over-covid

A class action lawsuit has been lodged in the Federal Court of Australia against the Australian Government, the Department of Health and Aged Care Secretary Dr. Brendan Murphy, and the Deputy Secretary of Health Products Regulation Group Adjunct Professor John Skerrit.

The suit, which includes over 500 claimants, seeks compensation for injuries allegedly sustained from COVID-19 vaccines, according to Sydney Criminal Lawyers.

The court documents allege that the respondents’ promotion and use of approved COVID vaccines amount to negligence and/or misfeasance.

The claimants argue that this negligence or misfeasance led to various damages, including personal injury, healthcare costs, additional expenses, economic loss, and non-economic loss.

The lawsuit asserts that the government owed a duty of care to the public, which was breached by not adequately informing about vaccine risks, not thoroughly researching vaccine impacts, and creating repercussions for those who chose not to get vaccinated.

These breaches, they claim, resulted in injuries.

The suit also alleges civil misfeasance in public office, where government officials intentionally inflicted injury or acted with the knowledge that their conduct could cause harm, Sydney Criminal Lawyers notes.

The government’s power to act in this manner will likely be a focal point of this part of the claim.

Despite the lawsuit, the government has not formally responded.

However, a Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) safety report from April stated that the adverse risks from COVID vaccinations are extremely low, with a rate of just 0.2%.

The report emphasized that “The protective benefits of vaccination far outweigh the potential risks.”

The class action is led by Queensland GP Melissa McCann, who raised over $100,000 through crowdfunding to initiate it.

Three representatives named in the suit allege severe injuries, including myopericarditis leading to open heart surgery, a debilitating neural disorder, and severe spinal cord inflammation resulting in the inability to walk unassisted.

The lawsuit comes amid criticism of the Australian Government’s handling of vaccine information and injury reports.

Critics argue that the government and health authorities silenced doctors and downplayed potential vaccine side effects, while mainstream media largely ignored personal accounts of vaccine injuries shared on social media.

The Australian Government established a compensation scheme for vaccine injury claims, but it has been criticized as “not fit for purpose.”

Claimants have reported slow responses, high costs for additional medical tests, and complex requirements, including the need for a medical professional to certify a link between a person’s condition and a vaccine reaction.

As of April 12, Services Australia had received 3501 applications and paid 137 claims totaling over $7.3 million.

The lawsuit also raises questions about the ability of victims to sue vaccine manufacturers.

In the U.S., legislation protects vaccine manufacturers from liability for COVID vaccine-related injuries.

In Australia, compensation was initially set up for two vaccine manufacturers, AstraZeneca and the University of Queensland vaccine from Seqirus.

It remains unclear whether other manufacturers, including Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, have been granted similar protections.

Doctor Coalition Sues California Medical Board for Insisting ‘White Individuals Are Naturally Racist’

Two doctors, one black, and the other an Iranian-American, have sued the Medical Board of California for its requirement forcing a continuation of medical education courses that are focused on “implicit bias.” ...

The lawsuit points out that all state-licensed physicians must complete 50 hours of continuing medical education every two years.

It describes “implicit bias” as the “idea that medical professionals unconsciously treat patients differently based on their race or other immutable characteristics,” as reported by The Messenger.

In a Fox News Op-Ed, Singleton blasted the California law for what it truly is.

“While the law doesn’t say it, the accusation is clear: White people are oppressors and Black people are oppressed. Nationwide, implicit-bias trainings for medical professionals routinely discuss systemic racism, White supremacy, and other race-based attacks on classes of people,” she said.

“I don’t care that I’m not the target. This still represents the kind of racist thinking that was starting to fade 50 years ago. I don’t want to be taught this evil, nor do I want to teach it to others,” she added.

OK, that's a doctor with integrity!

https://notthebee.com/article/with-billions-lost-investors-start-suing-woke-companies-for-their-dei-and-esg-programs

All in all, the company's commitment to its DEI and ESG goals cost it billions in sales and market cap, eroding the value of its brand.

Now, investors that have seen their portfolios take a hit are suing the company for misrepresenting those goals to investors.

Investor Brian Craig filed a lawsuit against Target Chief Executive Brian Cornell, and the Target's board of directors.

Craig claimed Target's board misstated its oversight of "social and political risks" to the company, focusing on the wishes of progressive activist investors and failing to account for potential backlash from customers.

And Target is not the only brand in the proverbial crosshairs.

There's also Anheuser-Busch and Mulvaney-Gate.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ordered an investigation into the state's holdings of Anheuser-Busch stock.

It turns out that Florida's pension fund is a massive shareholder in the company.

It appears to me that AB InBev may have breached legal duties owed to its shareholders, and that a shareholder action may be both appropriate and necessary. To protect BA and the retirees of Florida from losses attributable to AB InBev's disregard of those duties, all options are on the table.

Mulvaney-Gate has not just lost the company a bunch of money. It has cost Florida's civil servants' pension funds a lot of money, and the state is looking to sue over the company's representation of DEI and ESG.

It remains to be seen how successful these lawsuits will be, but it's certainly another tool in the kit of dismantling corporate Marxism.

Anyway, the Post story reported on a lawsuit I’ve long hope to see filed, and now one has hit the docket. On August 2nd, four New York families with relatives who died from covid sued the Manhattan-based NGO that funded coronavirus research in China, alleging it “created” the bug — and “released it, either intentionally or accidentally.”

The lawsuit directly alleges two types of injury. First, that EcoHealth and Daszak knew the virus was dangerous and “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic,” but failed ensure necessary safety measures were followed. Second, Daszak helped obscure the virus’s lab-engineered origins, preventing effective treatments from being developed when they could have been useful.

I think a negligence lawsuit against EcoHealth has legs, and should survive dismissal so as to get to do discovery. EcoHealth can’t claim it didn’t know the research was dangerous. It will have to argue that (1) its particular research project didn’t create covid, and/or (2) it wasn’t responsible for safety at the Wuhan lab. Only the second point could result in a dismissal if the court agreed.

To the extent Daszak was personally involved in the grotesque covid origins coverup, he could be tagged with individual liability that might stick. That claim could be a little more difficult, because — unless I’m missing something — they’ll still have to show Daszak had a duty to these plaintiffs, and that effective treatments could plausibly have been developed.

The lawsuit was filed by excellent small-firm attorney Patricia Finn, who was one of the best and smartest pro-freedom lawyers in New York during the pandemic. I wish her good fortune, that a good judge is assigned to her case, and that discovery is fruitful. Patty, let me know if I can help.

💉 Australia’s Umbrella News reported yesterday on a July lawsuit filed Down Under seeking to enjoin all further distribution of the modRNA jabs, headlined “COVID vaccines and your DNA: What the science tells us (and what it doesn’t).”

The case was filed in the Federal Court of Australia by Victoria doctor and pharmacist Dr. Julian Fidge. It alleges that covid shots violated Australian law by containing unlicensed genetically-modified products that can, in fact, enter the cell nucleus and permanently change a person’s DNA.

As you know, the CDC and corporate media have ceaselessly sworn on a tall stack of witchcraft grimoires that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for the artificial modRNA to ever get into a cell’s nucleus because Science! Shut up! Anti-vaxxers! Hesitation!

But two subsequent developments have fueled Dr. Fidge’s lawsuit. The first was a study (reported in C&C) clearly showing reverse transcription of the modRNA into liver cells in a Petri dish. The reverse-transcription happened fast, too; the modRNA practically sprinted into the liver cell DNA. Almost like it was designed to do it. The second development was Kevin McKernan’s recent discovery of unlawful amounts of unexpected e-coli DNA in the shots, which McKernan is generously referring to as “contaminants,” since he doesn’t know for sure whether it was intentional.

As described in previous C&C posts, extra e-coli DNA in any kind of shot is ‘no bueno,’ as they say down at the border. Full DNA strands get into the cell nucleus even easier than modRNA does. If the cell nucleus is like a swimming pool, it’s not quite like a crowd of kids wearing e-coli t-shirts leaping into the water at a pool party, but it’s close.

So far, the Australian government has defended against the lawsuit’s claims by laughably pointing to corporate media “fact check” websites and the CDC’s Q&A website. I guess when you’re the government you can just use websites and you don’t need any published studies. That’s Science™!

We’ll see. There was a time in the early pandemic, when mask mandates were first rolling out, that my regular refrain became: “more and better lawsuits.” It’s beginning to feel like we might be at that kind of inflection point again.

Go lawyers, go.

The Hill ran a very encouraging story last week headlined, “Southwest to appeal judge’s ‘religious freedom training’ order.”

Last Monday, Texas U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr entered an order sanctioning Southwest for violating a previous order. The case revolved around the illegal firing of a Southwest flight attendant, who was laid off because she posted a pro-life tweet on her social media. A jury found Southwest and the flight attendant union were guilty of violating the attendant’s free speech rights and religious liberties, and awarded her $5.1 million dollars, which was later reduced by the judge to $800,000.

As part of the original decision, the judge ordered Southwest to notify all its employees, to make sure they know about their religious freedom rights under Title VII. But Southwest and its lawyers tried to circumvent that order, and instead of following the judge’s instructions, sent a watered-down note to employees implying Southwest had been found innocent, and failed to mention their religious liberty rights or Title VII.

So the judge sanctioned Southwest and included two interesting provisions. First, the judge ordered Southwest’s three lawyers to attend “religious freedom education” training provided by the Alliance Defending Freedom. The Hill described the ADF as “a Christian conservative legal advocacy group,” a sign of how upset that part of the order has made liberals.

Liberals are the ones who force conservatives to go to reeducation training, not the other way around, silly.

The judge also wrote out an exact notice that he ordered Southwest to send to its employees, to make sure they get the correct instructions this time.

So of course, instead of complying with a little training and a one-paragraph notice that could be emailed to employees at zero cost, Southwest is spending tens of thousands of dollars on appealing the sanctions order and the underlying judgment. “We plan to appeal the recent court order and are in the process of appealing the underlying judgment to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,” Southwest said in a statement Wednesday.

Good luck. The Fifth Circuit was reliably pro-freedom during the pandemic, issuing some of the best anti-mandate orders in the country. District judges have a lot of freedom to sanction parties that violate orders. It could have been much worse, including jail time for contempt. A little training and a note to employees seems like the minimum a judge could do when a company refuses to follow its orders.

As to Southwest’s appeal of the underlying judgment, it is well known that appeals of jury verdicts are the most difficult types of appeals to win. Appellate judges hate disturbing all the work that a jury invested in listening to witnesses and reviewing evidence and so forth. So I don’t predict the appeal will be well taken. I predict that the flight attendant’s lawyers will soon be getting even more of their fees paid by Southwest. But we’ll see!

Judge Starr was a Trump appointee. So.

Patrick says

So of course, instead of complying with a little training and a one-paragraph notice that could be emailed to employees at zero cost, Southwest is spending tens of thousands of dollars on appealing the sanctions order and the underlying judgment.

A small price to pay to defend Southwest’s DEI score.
