I'm convinced that the right way to fight back against mandates and censorship is lawsuits.

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.

But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.

A nice suit started by https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org/ :

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT Court

AMERICA’S FRONTLINE DOCTORS

PETITION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

vs.

XAVIER BECERRA, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND John & Jane Does I-V; Black & White Partnerships; and ABC Corporations I-V,

Defendants.

Dear Friend,

Today America’s Frontline Doctors filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Secretary of the U.S. Department of HHS, Xavier Becerra.

Here’s why:

Children are not guinea pigs: There is a statistically zero percent chance of young people dying of COVID-19. To promote an investigational product that has no long-term studies and no animal studies, to pressure parents and teens to use an experimental product that has not been fully approved by the FDA breaks all of the rules of medicine and the HHS’ own goal to protect Americans.

The expansion of the Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) for younger children is all risk and no benefit. HHS is ignoring the science and the data.

HHS is betraying its mission to, “enhance the health and well-being of all Americans…and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.”

Sadly, millions of parents are being misled by HHS Secretary Becerra and the FDA, and we are calling on the Federal Courts to stop Becerra and compel HHS to suspend the promotion and rush to administer a vaccine that has not been fully tested and approved.

COVID 19 Vaccine Side Effects: We’ve never seen this level of side effects for any vaccine without the FDA taking action. The Rotavirus vaccine was canceled for 15 cases of non-lethal side effects and the Swine Flu vaccine was canceled for 25 deaths. But now, by the CDC’s own data, we are seeing a 12,000 percent increase in deaths with these vaccines and they’re still promoting this to our kids.

Support the Science: Under the age of 20, the survivability rate for COVID-19 is 99.997 percent. More than 4,000 deaths have been tied to the administering of COVID-19 vaccines in the last four months as opposed to 1,500 total in the previous ten years for all vaccines.

This last fact alone should be enough to STOP this dangerous vaccine. But HHS, the FDA and the CDC are ignoring the science and they are putting the lives of our children on the line.

Unfortunately, the damages will be paid by the insurance company, and not the government who did the shutdown. Now insurance premiums will increase, and new clauses will be dreamed up.

Sue Your Doctor" - They've Violated Their Oath and Failed to Give Informed Consent

Dr. Ryan Cole: "If you are injured by a shot or you know somebody who's injured by a shot, you need to file a suit against a physician, because nobody in the world got informed consent. They didn't tell you about antibody-dependent enhancement; they didn't tell you about the risks of myocarditis ... Any physician giving this and not giving informed consent is putting you involuntarily into the largest trial on humanity ever. And so they've violated their oath."

Totally overlooked by the mainstream press, at the beginning of May 2022, Missouri Attorney General (AG) Eric Schmitt’s office filed a landmark lawsuit against the Biden Administration.

Then, just last week, Attorney General Schmitt landed a big blow against Biden by filing a motion to prohibit the censorship conspiracy immediately.

The AG’s suit against the Biden Admin. also sues some other deserving people and agencies, including:

Joe Biden, himself
Anthony Fauci
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The CyberSecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Former Ministry of Truth head Nina “Mary Poppins” Jankowicz
Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki
And several more agencies and officials
The suit, brought along with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.

In the suit, Missouri Attorney General Schmitt pounds away on the Biden regime for both conspiring with and also compelling Big Tech social media companies, to censor millions of Americans on their social media accounts through a governmentally created social media censorship program.

You know what it took Twitter to admit it shouldn’t have done what it did?

You do not, and I can’t tell you, because the statement is all I can say about the settlement.

Except I need to add one thing. The settlement does not end my investigation into the pressures that the government may have placed on Twitter to suspend my account. I will have more to say on that issue in the near future. I made a promise to readers last month, and I take my promises to readers seriously.


Looks like Berenson's lawsuit against Twitter was successful.

LAUSD parents can now file for damages from the illegal COVID vaccine mandates
A judge has ruled that the LA Unified School District wasn't authorized to mandate the COVID vaccines or force kids into independent study. If you were injured, I can help you recover damages.

An important decision on vaccine mandates was just signed and released this morning.

The case was filed by a father on behalf of his son who attends the Science Academy STEM LAUSD magnet school. The lawyer in this case was Lee Andelin.

LAUSD will likely appeal the decision, but it’s unlikely they will prevail.

The decision means that:

LAUSD was wrong in requiring the COVID vaccines

For all but ten vaccines, a personal belief exemption must be respected.

LAUSD can no longer send kids away from their school and to independent study because they are not vaccinated.

Only the Department of Public Health can mandate vaccines, not the schools

The ruling applies to all students, not just the student filing the complaint

Parents whose children were injured, either by having to have their child vaccinated (regardless of whether your child has a vaccine injury or not) or whose child was shifted into independent study, now have an opportunity to sue for monetary damages.

If you are in the last category, please register here and I’ll let you know how you can join with other parents to preserve your rights and to potentially recover monetary damages.

A plan to mandate COVID-19 vaccine shots for hundreds of thousands of students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) will remain on pause after a Los Angeles County judge ruled on July 5 that the district lacks the authority to do so.

In his ruling, Judge Mitchell Beckloff of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County sided with a parent, whose 12-year-old son attends a public magnet school in North Hollywood. The parent filed the complaint in October 2021, about a month after the LAUSD announced its vaccination mandate.

Under the district’s mandate, all eligible students aged 12 and above must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or get approved for exemptions by Jan. 10 in order to attend school in person. Those who don’t comply would be transferred into the district’s remote learning program, City of Angels, which offers a mixture of live instruction and self-study.

The suing parent, identified as G.F., argued that it is unfair and unlawful for the child, identified as D.F., to have to lose his hard-earned place at a competitive school just because he and his parent have chosen to not get vaccinated on the basis of personal beliefs.

According to G.F., his son had acquired natural immunity after recovering from COVID-19. He also said he worried that vaccinating the child would put the child’s health in jeopardy.

ONA wins second arbitration against hospitals on ‘vaccinate or mask’ policy

For a second time, an arbitrator has ruled in favour of the Ontario Nurses’ Association, ordering a major hospital group in Toronto to rescind its “vaccinate or mask policy.”

In St. Michael’s Hospital and The Ontario Hospital Association and The Ontario Nurses’ Association, arbitrator William Kaplan struck down the policy in effect at St. Michael's Hospital and several other hospitals that form the Toronto Academic Health Science Network, saying that the policy does not protect patients and doesn’t serve to prevent the transmission of the flu in hospitals.

A VOM policy forces nurses and other health-care workers to wear an unfitted surgical mask during their shift if they choose not to receive the influenza vaccine. St. Mike’s is one of a small number of hospitals with a VOM policy — less than 10 per cent of about 165 hospitals in the province.

Why Sara Forte wants to share how to find happiness in the law

After reviewing extensive expert evidence submitted by both the ONA and St. Michael's Hospital, which was the lead case for the TAHSN group, Kaplan, in a Sept. 6 decision, rejected the hospital’s evidence and found that the St. Mike’s VOM policy is “illogical and makes no sense” and “is the exact opposite of being reasonable.”

Sharan Basran, legal counsel and manager of litigation for the ONA, says the organization was “very courageous” to take on the hospitals in the VOM battle. The ONA was represented by Kate Hughes, Philip Abbink and Tyler Boggs of Cavalluzzo LLP.

“I think the orthodoxy on this at the beginning was that these are policies that protect patients and so I really feel that ONA understood that the notion that a healthy unvaccinated nurse needs to wear a mask when she doesn’t have any symptoms was not a credible means to achieve what was a laudable objective. ONA really went to bat on something proven correct at the end of the day,” says Basran.

The TAHSN group includes Sinai Health System, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, North York General Hospital, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Michael Garron Hospital and Baycrest Health Sciences. Other TAHSN hospitals did not have VOM policies in place.

In 2015, arbitrator James Hayes struck down the same type of policy in an arbitration that included other Ontario hospitals across the province, with Sault Area Hospital as the lead case. It was the first to go against a 2013 British Columbia decision that had found a similar VOM policy to be a reasonable exercise of management rights.

In that case, 19 hospitals across the province agreed to the initial process where Sault Area Hospital was the lead case.

Speaking on behalf of St. Michael's Hospital and the OHA, Melanie McNaught, partner with Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti LLP said in an emailed statement:

"St. Michael’s Hospital decided to amend its policy to include a vaccinate-or-mask requirement in 2014, following a report by a Toronto Area Health Sciences Network expert working group. St. Michael’s VOM policy was applied in the 2014/15 flu season, before Arbitrator Hayes released his decision in September 2015 finding that the VOM policy at Sault Area Hospital was unreasonable. After the Hayes decision, St. Michael’s and a number of other TAHSN hospitals wanted to continue with their VOM policies because they believed it was in the best interest of patient safety. The Ontario Hospital Association supported their decision. Also, we believed we could put forward a better case for the reasonableness of the VOM policy. Arbitrator Hayes found that certain aspects of the Sault Area Hospital’s implementation of the VOM policy were, to use his words, “coercive.” St. Michael’s had implemented its VOM policy in a thoughtful way, with lots of consultation with various hospital committees. We were confident that the implementation at St. Michael’s had not been coercive. Arbitrator Kaplan found in our favour on that point. He found that St. Michael’s policy was not coercive and that it was made in the pursuit of reasonable objectives. Nevertheless, he still found that the policy was unreasonable.

"Naturally, we are disappointed with the outcome. This case involved a lot of difficult, and sometimes conflicting, scientific evidence. As Arbitrator Kaplan observed in his decision, these kinds of public health policy questions are better resolved by experts, rather than through litigation or labour arbitration. That being said, the reasonableness of the policy was to be decided at labour arbitration, using a labour relations framework. We did our best to present the scientific evidence in a way that was fair and clear. The Arbitrator preferred the evidence of ONA’s experts," McNaught said.

The ONA had first grieved the policy as an unreasonable exercise of management rights and a breach of employee privacy rights because a hospital-wide posting explained to the public that masks were required to be worn by unvaccinated employees.

Hayes found there was “scant evidence” that forcing nurses to use masks reduced the transmission of influenza to patients.

“Essentially, they all had vaccinate or mask policies and all agreed to rescind their policies,” says Basran. “However, the TAHSN group wouldn’t agree to be bound by the result so they were forced to arbitrate it again and it was a lengthy protracted litigation — this is now the second decision on the issue.”

Basran says the “vast majority” of hospitals in Ontario have rescinded their VOM policies either through arbitration or they have voluntarily agreed to change their policies, except for two in London, Ont. — London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Centre.

“I think there is now a consensus developing in the arbitral community that there is no question that these policies really do not protect patients. The arbitrator was quite robust in describing the evidence led by the hospital as ‘insufficient, inadequate and completely unpersuasive,’” she says.

Legal Feeds reached out to London Health Science Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London for comment. In an emailed statement provided by a spokesperson for St. Joseph's, the hospital indicated it has an "Influenza Vaccination for Staff" policy that currently requires unvaccinated staff to wear a mask while in areas where there are patients during the period that influenza is circulating in our community. "In the coming weeks we will be carefully reviewing the arbitrator’s decision to determine if our current policy needs to be revised for the coming flu season."

“I would hope they are going to study the decision carefully and appreciate that it’s a waste of time to re-litigate it when the matter has been decided twice now,” Basran says. “I think we have exhausted hearing the evidence on this — this is a definitive statement.”

Through the arbitration process, Basran says, it has become evident there are much better alternatives to ensuring patient safety.

“It was necessary to create clarity, but I think there is crystal clarity now,” she says.

The nurses’ collective agreement already protects patients if the medical officer of health determines there is an influenza outbreak by ensuring that comprehensive measures are put in place to reduce the risk of transmission to patients.

In his decision, Kaplan noted that both vaccinated and unvaccinated health-care workers can transmit the flu and asymptomatic transmission can occur. “If donning a surgical or procedural mask provided protection, the conclusion should be inevitable that everyone should mask — at least until a vaccine with one hundred percent effectiveness, or close to it, becomes available. That is not, however, required illustrating how illogical the VOM policy actually is,” he wrote.

The ONA's expert witnesses included Toronto infection control expert Dr. Michael Gardam, Quebec epidemiologist Dr. Gaston De Serres and Dr. Lisa Brosseau, an American expert on masks, who testified that there was insufficient evidence to support the St. Michael's policy and no evidence that forcing healthy nurses to wear masks during the influenza season did anything to prevent transmission of influenza in hospitals.

They further testified that nurses who have no symptoms are unlikely to be a real source of transmission and that it was not logical to force healthy unvaccinated nurses to mask.

Cancelled Saskatchewan professor taking university and health authority to court.

A University of Saskatchewan professor who was cancelled for voicing controversial views on Covid-19 vaccination is taking his former employer and provincial health authorities to court.

Dr. Francis Christian was suspended from his job as a professor of surgery after he called Covid shots “experimental injections” and said vaccinations of children against Covid-19 should be halted.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) has filed a claim on behalf of Christian challenging his suspension and termination from his teaching post.

“The Saskatchewan Health Authority and the college have violated Dr. Christian’s Charter-protected freedoms of expression and conscience. The college’s conduct is a gross violation of the principles of academic freedom and scientific inquiry,” JCCF lawyer Andre Memauri wrote in court documents.

“The defamatory statements made by some of the defendants against Dr. Christian add insult to injury, and Dr. Christian will pursue justice accordingly.”

When contacted by CTV News, representatives with the university stated that they plan on pursuing a “vigorous defence” against the allegations.

“The university intends to advance a vigorous defence in these proceedings. Since the matter is before the courts, the university will not make further comment at this time,” wrote a spokesperson.

The controversy largely centres on a June 2021 interview in which he “expressed concerns about the censorship of scientific facts and opinions during the pandemic.”

Soon after, Christian was in trouble with his employer who subsequently suspended him. An appeal of his suspension was unsuccessful and complaints about the university’s treatment went unresponded.

Christian was terminated from his job despite the university finding in an internal investigation that that his “statements were made in a civil manner, in good faith, and that he did not engage in unprofessional conduct or act contrary to the safety of individuals and the public.”

The University of Saskatchewan professor is not the only health professional who has taken the government to task over suspensions during the pandemic.

16 unvaccinated healthcare workers have filed a lawsuit against the Manitoba government and provincial health authority after they were terminated from their job for refusing to get the Covid-19 shot.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/fired-worker-receives-nearly-9000-in-damages-after-being-let-go-for-refusing-to-wear-a-mask/


This month, the Edmonton Labour Board ruled that Acorn Welding Ltd. of Edmonton, a federally regulated aircraft maintenance company, must pay Yates $8,917 for firing him without cause. as reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

“Go home, think about it and come back on Monday when we can have a clearer discussion,” Yates’ supervisor told him when the engineer would not wear a mask.

“You cannot work without a mask,” the supervisor was quoted in board hearings. “Yates replied, ‘he was not a sheep’ and stated he would not wear a mask.”

Yates was sent home and subsequently fired via email. “We are writing to inform you that Acorn Welding is accepting your resignation,” the company’s human resources officer wrote.

“This is based on your firm unwillingness to wear a facial covering while not working in your cubicle as required,” it added.

The Labour Board ruled that the letter amounted to dismissal without notice, which is a breach of the Employment Standards Code.

This incident occurred during the week after the passage of a November 2020 bylaw stating that all Edmonton residents “must wear a face covering at all times while in an indoor, enclosed or substantially enclosed public place or in a public vehicle.”

The mandate was issued despite a number of experts and studies in other countries suggesting that wearing a mask is not only inefficient at slowing the spread of COVID-19 but could also have harmful effects on people’s physical and mental health.

Yates is not alone in being fired for his refusal to comply with COVID-19 regulations. Many have lost their jobs over mask and vaccine mandates, and unmasked and unvaccinated students have been denied entry to universities and colleges.

Many are seeking justice for facing discrimination for their choices. Dr. Francis Christian, a clinical professor of general surgery, is suing University of Saskatchewan after being fired for questioning “experimental injections” for children.

Earlier this month, the City of Toronto reinstated about 100 Sikh security guards who refused to go against their religion by shaving their beards to wear masks.

Racist Policies: Refugee From Communist State Sues Biden.

Christian Bruckner, who owns a small business in Florida, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration Wednesday over race and sex quotas that ban him from competing for a reserved set of government contracts drafted in last year’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Bruckner, who owns Project Management Corporation, came to America in the 1970s when his parents fled communist Romania. In 1989 a car accident left him forever disabled. According to Bruckner’s lawsuit, his business “can fulfill transportation and infrastructure-related contracts, including those contracts available under the Infrastructure Act.”

Though because of Bruckner’s race and sex, his company is ineligible to compete for over $37 billion worth of infrastructure contracts.

According to the lawsuit, in the $1.2 trillion infrastructure act passed in November, Congress “authorized $370 billion in new spending for roads, bridges, and other surface transportation projects. But Congress also implemented a set aside, or quota, requiring that at least 10% of these funds be reserved for certain ‘disadvantaged’ small businesses.”

The law contains a quota, asking that at least 10% of all funding ($37 billion) go to small businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.”

“If … President Biden really wants to help disadvantaged small business owners, then he should help new businesses struggling to survive or small business owners who have a disability like me,” Bruckner announced in a press release. “But helping groups based on race and gender is never fair.”

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, claims that this quota breaks the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of due process by denying Bruckner the equal protection of the law. Bruckner is suing President Joe Biden, White House Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator Mitchell Landrieu, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.

In the legal complaint, Bruckner requests the court for a preliminary injunction “removing all unconstitutional race and gender-based classification” from the infrastructure act, as well as a declaration that such quotas are unconstitutional and an enduring ban on their implementation.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty’s Equality Under the Law Project is representing Bruckner and Project Management Corporation in the lawsuit. According to a press release from WILL, the project “has successfully sued the Biden Administration twice for race discrimination in the Farmer Loan Forgiveness Program and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund” and “forced the removal of race-based preferences in the Homeowner Assistance Fund, another program under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.”

Simon Isherwood, who was caught on hot mic criticizing diversity training, wins case after getting fired
A win for free speech.

Simon Isherwood, a rail conductor, won an unfair dismissal case against his employer, the West Midland Trains (WMT), after he was fired in March 2021 for criticizing diversity training on a hot mic.

The diversity training session, attended by about 80 rail workers, was held in January 2020. After the session ended, Isherwood forgot to turn off his microphone and was heard by colleagues complaining about the session to his wife.

“I couldn’t be arsed because I thought, ‘you know what, I’ll just get fucking angry.’ You know what I really wanted to ask?… and I wish I had, do they have black privilege in other countries? So, if you’re in Ghana?” he was heard saying.

Some colleagues complained to the bosses, and Isherwood was suspended pending an investigation. He was dismissed in March after it was determined that his remarks “caused offense, brought the company into disrepute” and breached the company’s “equality, diversity, and inclusion policy, and the code of conduct.”

After his internal appeal was rejected, he decided to sue his employer.

“I’ve lost my job, my income, my reputation, my health is absolutely shot to pieces,” he said at the time.

“I’d worked there for 11-and-a-half years and never had anything but promotion, praise and awards and even now I can’t believe it.

“All I was trying to do was understand the subject better – we had been asked to think of questions so I did exactly what I was asked to do.”

This week, an employment tribunal determined that Isherwood was unfairly dismissed.

“Freedom of expression, including a qualified right to offend when expressing views and beliefs [in this case on social issues], is a fundamental right in a democratic society,” employment judge Stephen Wyeth ruled.


"Qualified" right to offend?

Health Care Workers Settle COVID Shot Mandate for $10.3 Million

CHICAGO, IL – Today, Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit for health care workers over a COVID shot mandate, for more than $10.3 million. The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem is on behalf of more than 500 current and former health care workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate. The agreed upon settlement was filed today in the federal Northern District Court of Illinois.

As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate these health care employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.

This is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots.

The settlement must be approved by the federal District Court. Employees of NorthShore who were denied religious exemptions will receive notice of the settlement, and will have an opportunity to comment, object, request to opt out, or submit a claim form for payment out of the settlement fund, all in accordance with deadlines that will be set by the court.

As part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful “no religious accommodations” policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities. No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.


Good news, but a human rights objection to the dangerous and ineffective vaxx must also be upheld.

No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.


That’s good. It rules out remote reassignment which as I’ve heard appears to be a common “accommodation.”

But will there be additional testing and masking requirements for “exempt” unvaccinated?

Unvaccinated Canadian firefighter gets his job back after department faces legal pressure
'To accept this medical procedure, he said, would violate his conscience and religious convictions.'

CELISTA, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) – After pressure from a constitutional legal group, a Canadian firefighter who lost his job for refusing COVID vaccines was reinstated to his position.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), volunteer firefighter Craig Nygard of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) in British Columbia was able to get his job back after it sent a legal warning letter to the fire department in April.

The JCCF demanded that “Mr. Nygard be accommodated in his request for a religious exemption from CSRD’s mandatory Covid vaccine policy.” ...

No less than 30 firefighters from the CSRD lost their jobs for refusing to comply with a workplace COVID vaccine mandate despite the fire department experiencing worker shortages.

Health care workers fired over vaccine mandate awarded $10 million in settlement

Illinois health care workers who were fired or otherwise impacted by their hospitals' COVID-19 vaccine mandate will receive a $10 million settlement after filing a lawsuit challenging the rule.

"Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII," Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, the group behind the lawsuit, told the Washington Examiner. "It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects healthcare workers."

The case centers around workers at NorthShore University HealthSystem, who filed a lawsuit in October 2021 claiming their employer illegally refused to grant any religious exemptions to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The settlement approved in the Illinois Northern District Court will result in 473 employees of the system becoming eligible for compensation for being denied a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate, with any of those fired as a result of the rules being eligible for $25,000. The 13 plaintiffs involved in the suit will be eligible for an additional $20,000, while those who complied with the mandate to keep their jobs despite having religious objections will be eligible for $3,000.

Unfortunately, this is "religious" rather than based on the fact no one should be forced to take an experimental vaccine for a disease when that disease has an extremely low probability of causing serious injury or death. Using "religion" as an out could be a bad precedence if we have a truly deadly and contagious disease in the future.

$25 million seems way too low for such an egregious violation of basic human rights.

It's worse than not getting a fist bump from a Disney character.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Former Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich has filed a claim against the university seeking $25 million for wrongful termination after he was fired last year for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.


$25 million seems way too low for such an egregious violation of basic human rights.



If you want an actual punishment, it would be hanging.

It's fine and dandy somebody gets a few bucks out of this bullshit, but it's better just to end this bullshit but putting heads on stakes and hanging offenders from the lampost until their body clearly is decaying.

That will end this shit for at least a few decades.

Alex Berenson Sues the Biden Administration for 1A Infringement
A COVID truth-teller has already prevailed against Twitter, and he has the goods on Team Biden.

Alex Berenson is pale, sweaty, and baggy-eyed, and he looks more like a computer science professor than a crusader for First Amendment rights. And yet here he is, suing the pants off the censors at Twitter and in the Biden White House.

We should be rooting like hell for him.

Berenson is back on Twitter after having been “permanently” banned from the platform for nearly a year because, Twitter claimed, he was spreading “misinformation” about COVID-19. Last week, the former New York Times reporter settled his lawsuit against the hard-left social media company, which admitted its mistake and restored his account.

What sort of “misinformation” was Berenson accused of spreading? What was it that got him the lifetime ban? Oh, irrefutable, evidence-based “misinformation” like this, which he tweeted last August:

It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it — at best — as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity.

NCLA Clients Join Missouri and Louisiana Suit Challenging Gov’t-Directed Social Media Censorship
Aug 2, 2022 | Press Releases
Washington, DC (August 2, 2022) – Public statements, emails, and recent publicly released documents establish that the President of the United States and other senior officials in the Biden Administration violated the First Amendment by directing social-media companies to censor viewpoints that conflict with the government’s messaging on Covid-19. Today, the New Civil Liberties Alliance joined the lawsuit, State of Missouri ex rel. Schmitt, et al. v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., et al., representing renowned epidemiologists and co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, Drs. Jayanta Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorff, as well as Dr. Aaron Kheriaty and Jill Hines.

Social media platforms, acting at the federal government’s behest, repeatedly censored NCLA’s clients for articulating views on those platforms in opposition to government-approved views on Covid-19 restrictions. This insidious censorship was the direct result of the federal government’s ongoing campaign to silence those who voice perspectives that deviate from those of the Biden Administration. Government officials’ public threats to punish social media companies that did not do their bidding demonstrate this linkage, as do emails from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to social media companies that only recently were made public.

Government-induced censorship is achieved through a wide variety of mechanisms, ranging from complete bans, temporary bans, “shadow bans” (where often neither the user nor his audience is notified of the suppression of speech), deboosting, de-platforming, de-monetizing, restricting access to content, requiring users to take down content, and imposing warning labels that require click-through to access content, among others. These methods also include temporary and permanent suspensions of disfavored speakers.
This sort of censorship, which strikes at the heart of what the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect—free speech, especially political speech—constitutes unlawful government action. The federal government is deciding whose voices and ideas may be heard, and whose voices and ideas must be silenced. Moreover, this state action deprives Americans of their right to hear the views of those who are being silenced, a First Amendment corollary of the right to free speech. The government’s policy of coercing social-media companies to censor Plaintiffs’ viewpoints should be declared unlawful and halted immediately.

NCLA released the following statements:
“The Biden Administration’s involvement in silencing the voices of those who have critiqued its responses to Covid-19, through pressure exerted on social media companies, is unprecedented in nature and degree. Two of the plaintiffs, Drs. Bhattacharya and Kulldorff, are among the world’s most renowned epidemiologists, and had crucial insights to share on the flawed reasoning and science underlying lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates. Dr. Kheriaty, a professor of medical ethics, and Ms. Hines, a consumer and human rights advocate, also offered thoughtful, reasoned opposition to government-imposed Covid-19 restrictions. The government’s sweeping campaign to suppress the perspectives of the plaintiffs, and others like them, represents the most severe abrogation of the First Amendment in modern times, and we look forward to seeing this constitutional atrocity rectified in a court of law.”
— Jenin Younes, Litigation Counsel, NCLA
“The government may not work through private entities to accomplish censorship that the First Amendment forbids the government from doing directly. Yet that is precisely what these federal defendants have been up to. NCLA is delighted to join forces with these state attorneys-general to reverse this constitutional outrage and restore free speech to the social media platforms that are today’s public square.”
— Mark Chenoweth, President and General Counsel, NCLA

It won't matter. Our "news" is outright propaganda for the state. They will be continued to be funded in some way.

Nobody reads the Washington Post or bothers with the NY Times. These outlets exist to give the ILLUSION that people read them. Nobody does. We just have to have the illusion that people believe the BS in these publications.

How old are they?

There's a whole lost generation, that's Generation X and up..

I'm 51 now. At my age trying to consume "news" is just about impossible. The second I attempt to either watch "news" or read it, immediately my bullshit detector starts screaming at me. I don't know how anybody can NOT see through it, unless they have actively worked against thinking.

One just turned 50. Also believes CNN. One elderly, upper 70's. The other, husband and wife probably early '50's, I guess. This is Maryland, BTW, where there are many DC tit suckers.

Talk to some people from the younger generations.

It's weird, OLD people tend to believe in this garbage now, but I think the younger generation is much more aware of what they are reading and seeing. I literally cannot stand to watch MAINSTREAM "news", and I just can't imagine somebody doing it UNIRONICALLY. I mean seriously -


original link


How can anybody watch that? It's just lie, after lie, after lie, after lie. She's been exposed MULTIPLE times, and I'm starting to use this stuff to sniff out if my older friends are worth keeping. Reading a news article today is like reading a kid's book report where he had to write 5 pages, so he stretched and padded the FUCK out of it.

I'm used to reading some pretty dense material when I'm doing it for work. Reading a page is a LOT of work because so much information is stuffed into it. If I try to read something from the NY Times, it's just AGONY. I don't know how anybody can consume it. It seems like such a tremendous waste of time.

The Rachael Maddow clip, she goes on for 4 and 1/2 minutes just repeating the same thing over and over and over again. How can people not lose their MIND watching it?

Back in the day, like 15 yeas ago, she'd explain why the Bush administration was full of shit, and she wouldn't have to repeat herself because they were so full of shit about everything. Such a huge difference between the truth and a lie in media today. People telling you the truth, try to do it quickly, and convincingly and since they aren't lying they are perfectly happy to have their statements challenged.

I have two friends in their early to mid-30's. Both from the lower economic class. One is doing much better than his parents, works in industry, has severe TDS, has stated that he'll take as many boosters as necessary, is focused on making money and enjoying pricey and frequent vacations. The other works in non-hard science academia, is doing a little better than his parents, had to take the vax to keep his job, but also was on the brainwashed COIVD bandwagon, but now seems a little more curious. When I began pointing out how many lies were propagated by the MSM to them, they asked what instead they should listern too. So there you have it, there is a need for an interpreter and teller of reality in a significant part of the population.

Give them this:

Or the main page:

Now you might want to say "well, ANOTHER guy told me about this, I really don't know much about it", to distance yourself. What I like about him is that he constantly encourages his audience to think and he references all his claims. You're sticking your neck out because anything YOU recommend, they will just assume you believe everything you hear in it.

There's a TON of people that think the world can still be saved, IF we can just educate the population out of their propaganda.

I recognize people's desire for an interpreter, we are trained from birth to "listen to authorities" and we are repeatedly told "the authorities have your best interest at heart" and we are told over and over again "the experts wouldn't be in this position if they weren't the best". NONE of those are true. VERY few people recognize that.

Breaking: Researcher appointed by the Israeli MOH to investigate COVID-19 vaccine side effects warned the ministry it could be open to lawsuits for encouraging the public to get vaccinated while claiming that side effects are mild and transient
| 10911 צפיות
In a leaked recording of a Zoom discussion with Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) officials, revealed by GB News on Saturday, a researcher hired by the ministry to conduct a study on the side effects of the vaccine can be heard explaining to ministry officials that the findings establish a causal relationship and warning them that they could be exposed to lawsuits. ...

Serious side effects: not rare, not transient
The research team repeatedly stressed during the discussion that their findings indicate that, contrary to what has been thought and claimed so far, in many cases, serious adverse events are long-lasting. An important example is menstrual irregularities – an adverse event on which mountains of reports have accumulated since the launch of the vaccination rollout in December 2020. In one of the slides presented by the researchers in the recorded zoom discussion, the researchers wrote: "Studies carried out on the above mentioned subject noted short-term abnormalities (up to a few days) in the menstrual cycle. However, over 90% of the reports detailing the characteristics of the duration of this adverse event indicate long-term changes (emphasis in the original. Y.S). Over 60% indicate duration of over 3 months". ...

As can be seen from the above slide, the findings reveal that various neurological side effects are likewise not transient but long-lasting. In fact, according to the researchers, most of the reports that referred to their duration state that they lasted for over three months, and a third stated that they lasted for over a year. Similarly, other systemic side effects, such as musculoskeletal injuries, GI problems and kidney and urinary adverse events, are not short and transient.


I hope the Israeli legal system works better than our clown legal system which protect Democrat deep state corruption no matter how many people they kill.
