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.

A law firm in California will be filing a suit against the state in the coming weeks. Grounds are California has a law that mandates additional testing be performed on any experimental treatment before it can be used by citizens. That testing, was never done...

In March, Morrison wore a shirt reading "There are only two genders" to the school and was told to change. The school said that he was violating its dress code, and the principal told Morrison other students had complained about it.

"In a school like Liam's, the opposite view about sex and gender and the way that relates to human identity is expressed all the time, whether it's through flags in the hallways or posters or pride events," attorney Logan Spena said. "The school is permeated with one particular viewpoint on this subject, and Liam perceives that there's pressure not to be able to express a different view."

Transgender rights activist Mason Dunn says you cannot compare a pride flag with a shirt denying gender identity — which he said could incite violence.

"Messages of pride are messages of support, messages of affirmation, not messages of hate or bias," Dunn said.

Morrison addressed the Middleboro School Committee on April 13, after the first time he was told to remove the shirt.

"I know that I have a right to wear a shirt with those five words. Even at 12 years old, I have my own political opinions, and I have a right to express those opinions. Even at school. This right is called the First Amendment to the Constitution," he said. "My hope in being here tonight is to bring the school committee's attention to this issue. I hope that you will speak up for the rest of us so we can express ourselves without being pulled out of class. Next time it might not only be me — it might be more students who decide to speak out."

Neither the school district nor the attorney representing the town would comment to NBC10 Boston about the case.

The next hearing was set for June 13. Attorneys representing Morrison wanted to get approval from the judge on that date for Morrison to wear his shirt before the school year ends on June 26.

Breaking: Family of 24-Year-Old Who Died From COVID Vaccine Sues DOD in ‘Groundbreaking Case’

The family of a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis alleges the U.S. Department of Defense engaged in “willful misconduct” when it claimed Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use was “safe and effective.”

The family of a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), which oversaw the development and distribution of the drug under Operation Warp Speed.

Ray Flores, the attorney representing the estate of George Watts Jr. filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the DOD and Lloyd Austin III in his official capacity as defense secretary.

The lawsuit alleges the DOD engaged in “willful misconduct” by continuing to exclusively allow distribution of the stockpiled version of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that had been authorized for emergency use even after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to a different vaccine, Comirnaty.

According to the complaint, the DOD “capitalized on a quintessential ‘bait and switch’ fraud,” using the fact that Comirnaty was FDA-approved to bolster its claims that the vaccine authorized for emergency use was “safe and effective,” in a move that intentionally misled millions of Americans.

The DOD did this despite being fully aware that drugs granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) cannot legally be marketed as “safe and effective” because the FDA standard for EUA is only that drugs “may be effective.”

That means the DOD intentionally, without justification and with disregard for the risks, misrepresented an experimental vaccine as “safe and effective” when it could not legally use that terminology, the lawsuit states.

As a result, the lawsuit alleges, George Watts Jr. was misled into taking the investigational vaccine and he died as a result. ...

Despite experiencing side effects from the first dose, Watts understood the vaccine to be “safe and effective,” so he took a second dose at the same location on Sept. 17, 2021.

Following the second dose, Watts experienced more severe side effects, including numbness in his extremities, difficulty grasping and holding objects, a sinus infection, cough and sensitivity to light. He visited the ER at the Guthrie hospital on Oct. 12, 2021, also complaining of a lump on the left side of his neck.

The hospital diagnosed him with sinusitis and prescribed an antibiotic. Watts returned to the ER on October 19, 2021, concerned that he was not improving.

After that, his health continued to decline.

On Oct. 27, 2021, at home with his mother, Watts began coughing up blood and then became unresponsive. His mother called 911 and administered CPR.

Watts was taken to the ER where he was found to be in cardiac arrest and subsequently died. He had no previous medical history that could explain his sudden death. Watts also tested negative for COVID-19 in a post-mortem test. ...

The Emergency Use Authorization does not give immunity to pharmaceutical companies for making false claims or wrongfully advertising their products.

Software VP Fired For Using 'Assigned By God' As Preferred Pronoun Sues Employer

A software engineer fired for putting “Assigned By God” as the preferred pronoun on his employee profile has filed a civil rights lawsuit against his company.

Chard Scharf was fired by the software company Bitwarden, an online storage service for sensitive information. Scharf served as Vice President of Software Engineering at the Jacksonville, Florida, location.

The lawsuit alleges that Bitwarden violated Scharf’s Title VII rights against religious discrimination by allowing other employees to post preferred pronouns on their employee profiles, but prohibiting Scharf from using his preferred pronoun based on his religious beliefs.

“Had Chad set aside his religious beliefs and acquiesced to Bitwarden’s promotion of gender ideology, he would not have been fired,” Scharf’s attorney Jennifer Vasquez told The Epoch Times, “which means his religious beliefs were the cause of his termination.” Vasquez is with the Florida law firm Campbell, Trohn, Tamayo & Aranda.

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.

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.

💉 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.

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.”

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.
323   Misc   2023 Jul 18, 12:48am  

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.

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.

Ramaswamy Wins Lawsuit Against World Economic Forum After Being Labeled A ‘Young Global Leader’

Republican candidate “explicitly rejected their ridiculous award”

Ramaswamy, who is running a presidential campaign, explained that he “explicitly rejected their ridiculous award,” two years ago and that Klaus Schwabb’s outfit “repeatedly failed to remove my name despite escalating demands. So I sued them. And we just succeeded.”

He claimed that “I’ve been the leading opponent in America of the World Economic Forum’s agenda.”

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.

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.
