Nov 8, 2021. Nashville responsible for changing the zoning to B3 when the property was annexed. Per the County Planning Department, “Legislative bodies (in this case the Town Council) have the power to change zoning designations during Annexation procedures without input from the Plan Commission.”
This begs the question: What was the process used by the council to make this change? What was the legal basis and required steps? Were public meetings held? Were neighbors notified? Is documentation available?
Nov 4, 2021. Nashville Technical Review Committee — 1 p.m., Town Hall. Agenda includes review of new buildings project by Stephen Alexander at 1415 East Old State Road 46.
DRC/Technical Review Board Meeting – Notes. The developers will be putting in two retail buildings in separate locations on the property and a swimming pool. No specifics on the type of retail were provided. The design will be a “Farmstead Look.” The building will be on the north side of Salt Creek in a “Flood Fringe area. Per the town, they can be hooked up to the sewers. And before getting building permits, they will have to meet all requirements to include flood-way related issues. Not much anyone can do regarding the development. One of the buildings will be 3,700 sq.ft. and the other 4,000. Utility building is 1500 sq.ft.
… the Brown County Board of Zoning Appeals denied a special exception to allow a 185 spot luxury RV campground.
The Salmon Room at the Brown County Office Building was full on Oct. 27 with around 40 residents.
Over an hour 23 residents spoke against the proposed project with most of them living on or owning property near the proposed park area in a field off of Old State Road 46 near the intersection of Clay Lick Road.
The petitioner, Stephen Alexander, was requesting a special exception for a private recreational development on 20 acres of his 71.76 acre parcel.
The property is located within town limits and is zoned business (B3), which is a service and warehouse business use designation. Under that zoning all general business uses are allowed along with a commercial parking structure, car sales room, drive-in restaurants, storage warehouse, filling station and tourist home, according to the town’s zoning ordinance.
The property is also in the floodway. Alexander has owned the field where the proposed park was going to go for 30 years.
Proposed “new buildings” at Alexander’s Old 46 property are on the agenda for project review at the Nashville Technical Review Committee this Thursday, Nov. 4. The meeting is at 1 p.m. in the Nashville Town Hall, 200 Commercial Street.
Oct 29, 2021. I checked with the County Planning Office. They are the ones that approve any building permits in the B3 Zone. They provided the following information:
A few uses would not require building permits such as creating a public park with no structures. Any use that is considered development in the Floodplain (Fringe areas) would need local floodplain permits. Development in areas of the Floodway district would require permits from the DNR Water Division and local Floodplain Permits. Any structures over 400 square feet to be placed in the FF or FW would have to meet elevation requirements with the lowest floor being elevated to at least 2 feet above base flood elevation (BFE) or for commercial buildings, floodproofed by either elevation or mechanical means. In addition to floodplain permits and building permits for structures, the Nashville DRC would be involved in granting or denying certificates of appropriateness.
Building permit questions to Lonnie Farlee if you wish to ask about code requirements for commercial buildings.
Nashville also has a floodplain ordinance in Town Jurisdiction.
Oct 27, 2021. BZA Meeting.Unanimous NO vote. Brown County residents at their finest provide “expert testimony” as to the issues and harmful impacts associated with this development.
If the BZA did not approve the special exception, developer threatened a “Plan B” where he could support projects that comply with the existing Gneral Business (GB) B3 Zoning – Service and Warehouse Business Use, without needing BZA Approval.
HOWEVER, He will need building permits that are approved by the County!
Note: We would have fewer conflicting opinions on topics such as this if we had a better Comprehensive Plan. Ours is 14 pages – around 100 would be more appropriate. Vagueness and generalities can be interpreted both ways. Although the plan meets minimum state requirements, it is immoral and unethical to have a plan used for decisions that does not represent the “Voice” of the residents.
Based on a review of the County Comprehensive Plan, the submitted project documents, and comments from citizens posted on two Brown County Specific Facebook pages – Brown County Matters and Brown County Chatter (see enclosures), I do not believe this project as described in the submitted documents, is in alignment with the County Comprehensive Plan and in the best interests of the county.
Regarding the Facebook comments, I provided a copy (enclosures) in PDF files to allow for a quick review. The original posts as well as reactions can be easily viewed on the respective Facebook group pages.
This 185 Site RV Park supports more tourism. A vision for more tourism is not specifically addressed in the County Comprehensive Plan. When is more tourism too much for the infrastructure (including roads) and acceptable by county residents? Andy Rogers recognized the importance of maintaining a balance. His vision was to accommodate tourism and not destroy the culture and “soul” of the county:
“People say, ‘Well, we can’t change.’ But we can change and still retain some of the flavor of Brown County. We need people to live here. I’m in the tourist business but we don’t want to turn this town over to the tourists. You can go to Gatlinburg if you want to see what happens to a town that turns it all over to business. It’s not a town anymore—it’s a shopping center.
“We don’t need to be slick and highly commercial. We need to be more country. Country is what we sell…. We need to maintain that. Once you destroy that, it won’t come back.”
The County Comprehensive Plan (14 pages) represents the “Voice” of the residents. Although it meets the minimum requirements by the state, it is too short and vague. This allows for “flexibility” where arguments for or against a project can be equally valid. The plan does not provide the level of specificity that should be needed to make the best decision regarding the proposed 185 Site RV park. The plan does not specifically mention support for a project of this scope to be located on land that is used for agriculture and homes.
Specific Comments – Alignment with the Comprehensive Plan:
01. The 185 Site RV Park is not in alignment with the Count Comprehensive Plan (CCP). The plan mission statement identifies the following: “To provide guidance on decision making regarding Brown County land use, public service and zoning that enhances the quality of life for the residents based on the county’s natural beauty and rural atmosphere.”
How does this project enhance the quality of life for “residents”? Why would a 185 site RV (mobile home) Park be considered an enhancement to the “natural beauty and rural atmosphere”?
Enclosures 1 and 2 identify the comments from residents sharing their “Voice” regarding the project. Those that are opposed or have concerns provide more detail regarding their position than the individuals that just commented that they were in favor of the project.
02. Plan -Introduction. “There is a special need to understand that planning should identify and encourage those land uses that have been positive over time, especially those that contribute to the distinctive character of this “special place” called Brown County. Planning can guard against rapid change and growth that are incompatible with existing infrastructure and the county’s “quality of life vision.“
There is no history or evidence of how an RV Park of this size has had a positive influence in the county.
How does a 185 Site RV Park add to the distinctive character of this “special place called Brown County” or “quality of life vision”? This project supports tourism, e.g., more visitors – NOT residents.
There has been no evidence submitted, nor is it stated in the Comprehensive Plans, that that an increase in the number and size of RV parks are recognizes as a desired outcome.
Brown County State Park does support camping to include RV Parks, Camping Trailers and Tent Camping. Covid has increased the demand for sites that may be addressed in the future by the Park. Over 50% of the land in Brown County is owned by the state, feds, or non-profit conservation organizations. Land Use for agriculture, residents and appropriate development that serves ALL residents are included in goals in the Comprehensive Plan.
03. Traffic and Safety
Brown County’s two-lane roads adds a constraint to increases in more visitors. Hard Truth Hills and the Music Center now contribute to more year-round tourism which adds more congestion to our roads.
The location of the proposed 185 Site RV Park is in close proximity to the intersection of old 46, Highway 46 and the North Gate Entrance to Brown County State Park. This intersection has been known to be among the most congested (and accident prone) in the county at times. The State has refused to put in a stop light. And, if they did put in a light, this would add to the back-up traffic on 46 creating more frustration and adding increased travel time for residents.
Indiana Citizen’s Planner’s Guide. Part 2 Board of Zoning Appeals Basics by KK Gerhart-Fritz, AICP, identifies “Developmental Standards Variance Criteria per IC 36-7-4-918.5”. Specifically:
01. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community.
As stated above, the project is incompatible with the intent and goals expressed in the County Comprehensive Plan and the “Voice” of the residents.
Facebook comments from county specific Facebook groups (see enclosures) do identify residents’ concerns and opposition to this project. The public sentiment as well as the comprehensive plan, would likely support affordable housing for residents in this area.
The location of the proposed park does add to traffic congestion and risks to safety. The State may not approve a request for a traffic light and even if they did, this would add to traffic backups and impatient drivers that tend to create condition that may lead to more accidents
02. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse.
Adding a commercial property in an area consisting of agriculture and homes does have an adverse impact on the “natural beauty and rural atmosphere” as well as morale, that is intended to be protected by the Comprehensive Plan. Further, it sets a bad precedent.
03.The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property.
“Practical difficulty” is adding to the congestion on Old 46 and 46 across from the North Gate to the State Park which will be the main ingress and regress routes. Traffic on old 46 will also be impeded. Luxury RV’s heading west on old 46 to Nashville would certainly add to the traffic congestion.
In conclusion, in addition to this planning guidance, the County Comprehensive Plan represents the “voice” of residents regarding their support for changes. The Facebook comments (see enclosures) provide a strong indication that a 185 Site RV Park is not acceptable.

Dont Tread on Indiana. Don’t Tread On Indiana is the advocacy arm of the Brown County Indiana Second Amendment Freedom Fighters, a grassroots coalition of like-minded Hoosiers, first organized on February 2, 2020, working together to help preserve and protect our great American values, customs and traditions. We are men and women from the great state of Indiana who revere God above the State, who firmly honor and support the US Constitution as the law of the land. To us the Bill of Rights is sacrosanct, and any attempts to infringe upon it are fundamentally unlawful, therefore unacceptable, and must be rebuked and defeated.
Don’t Tread On Indiana was formed to advocate for the legacy of the Founders, and to combat the encroachment of governmental overreach, socialistic propaganda and cultural subjugation — wherever we find it.

Barrington Policy adopted by Sweden and Florida.
Florida Surgeon General – Joseph Ladapo. “Vaccines are available. Treatments are available,” “If you do get COVID, get treated early.” Ladapo argued doctors haven’t made enough effort on the treatment side: “The other component that other states should adopt is both preventative and treatment. Makes me sad as a scientist and a doctor that more effort is not made to connect patients with treatments. That has cost many lives during the pandemic.”
To Ladapo, being the “anti-Fauci” means “being considerate of the fact that health means more than avoiding a virus. It’s been a terrible time with social isolation, loneliness. What we’ve done to children has been criminal, disconnecting them from their peers and disrupting their education even though they’ve always been at low risk. There are multiple components of health.”

On “New Positive Cases,” how many were vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Of those that were vaccinated and contracted a new variant, what are the treatment protocols? For the unvaccinated with or without natural immunity, what are the recommended treatment protocols?
What are the adverse effects from the vaccine reported in VAERS? What percent of adverse reactions are reported in Indiana?
Of the deaths, how many of these were individuals with comorbidities? What were the ages? How many were vaccinated vs unvaccinated? For the unvaccinated, how many had natural immunity?
Does the state (or “county health department”) support supplementing your diet with Vitamin D, C, and Zinc? Other recommendations?
Does the current reporting infer that ALL citizens should be vaccinated? If so, this is most likely an unrealistic goal and does not provide the quality of information citizens need to make informed decisions on vaccinations. Individuals throughout the country are leaving their jobs when given the ultimatum to get vaccinated.

The SO WHAT? Should the purpose of a “Report” also be to provide feedback to citizens as to what is working and what is not in response to Covid? Should this include identifying prevention measures, the types of treatments available and provided, estimated risks to citizens on vaccinations injuries as listed/identified in VAERS and other government sources) to citizens?
The most common misuse of statistics is when based on the numbers, a judgment is made that something is increasing or decreasing. What is generally unknown is that there are standards pioneered in America and accepted internationally for assessing trends.
Generally, you need 20-25 data points that can then be placed on a run chart along with the median (center-line). Depending on the standard, the following trends would indicate an increase or decrease and if it was sustained, would indicate a systemic change: 6 Consecutive Points in a row rising or falling; 8 Consecutive Points in a row above or below the centerline. The simplest standard is the rule of 7 – 7 data points in a row increasing or decreasing or 7 in a row above or below the centerline. (PQ Systems Trends)

Background Info – overview of quality management concepts, principles, methods and tools – Success through Quality
Misuse of Process Behavior Charts is rife. An example of such misuse is the many attempts to use Process Behavior Charts for Covid data.
My recent posts, such as “Down the Rabbit Hole” https://lnkd.in/gzk5bEPq have shown how the right approach is Professor Deming’s “Operational Definition”, or what Dr Shewhart called “Operational Meaning”:
1. What do you want to accomplish? 2. By what method will you accomplish your objective? 3. How will you know when you have accomplished your objective?
The first step is to ask, what are you trying to achieve? Professor Deming wanted to know if the processes he was studying were running at their maximum potential. He also asked whether these processes would continue to run at their maximum potential into the future. The tool he chose was the Shewhart Chart.
The first step with Covid data should be to ask “What do you want to accomplish?” Folk trying to draw control charts for Covid data have not asked this question.
What we want to know about Covid is whether it is getting better or worse. What we want to accomplish is a downward trend. The best method to observe such trends is the Run Chart, or Bar Chart.
Control Charts cannot help answer this question. All that a control chart can show is that the data is non-homogeneous. However we already know this because of the way the disease is spread from one person to many more people.
Control charts are ideal for bringing a process to its full potential and ensuring good quality into the future. They are worthless for COVID-19 data. Use a run/bar chart as shown. Run charts are ideal for showing trends.
“How will you know when you have accomplished your objective?” We will know this when the Run Chart trends to zero.
The root cause for the ubiquitous misuse of Process Behavior Charts is firstly courses failing to teach the fundamentals of Quality. The second cause is statistical software which encourages the blind pressing of buttons without thinking. When you have bought an expensive hammer, don’t spend your time looking for things to use it on. Use common sense instead. THINK.
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
“But, as we have seen, an epidemic is anything but a steady-state system. It grows, changes, and evolves. We do not need to ask the question “Has a change occurred?” because we know that by its very nature every epidemic is constantly changing. This is why any attempt to use a process behavior chart to analyze the daily Covid values is a misapplication of the technique. It is conceptually equivalent to someone computing the average for a list of telephone numbers.” – Dr Wheeler.
With the exception of the individual choices we make to shape our own destinies,
the choices made by the leaders we interact with throughout our life journeys have the
most profound impact on every aspect of our existence. On the battlefield, the survival of
our soldiers, and, by proxy, our citizens and our society; in business, our job satisfaction,
our productivity, and our company’s, countries, and kinfolk’s potential to thrive; and over
time, the success or failure of our species in our on-going quest to evolve. “The way” we
choose to lead and organize ourselves irrevocably influences our potential to survive,
thrive, and evolve. Leadership Matters.
The time-line of the decisions leading up to the collapse of Afghanistan reveals
that the key leaders involved lack some of the most important qualities needed by those
who lead and govern: a common sense of shared purpose, the ability to make sense of
what’s going on around them, the ability to listen to their people and anticipate unfolding
events, the capacity to make sensible choices based on incomplete information, and the
flexibility and willingness to change their mind based on “the adaptive stimulus of what’s
going on around them.” Their collective incompetence not only changed world history, it
also changed our species evolutionary history by causing the deaths of at least 13
American freedom fighters along with thousands of freedom-loving Afghans, while
enabling hundreds of the world’s most despicable terrorists to survive, thrive, and evolve
into the future.

The Gateway Pundit is pleased to announce its unveiling of www.AmericanGULAG.org, an informational site about the more than six hundred and thirty (630) people Joe Biden continues to imprison and persecute, largely for entering a public building on January 6, 2021.
The overwhelming majority of Biden’s January 6th political prisoners are peaceful patriots, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, sisters and brothers whose crime was walking into a public building to protest. The emerging totalitarian uniparty decided to weaponize the Department of Injustice and persecute Donald Trump/America First/anti-oligarchy supporters.
The electorate itself is divided, but doesn’t necessarily view this issue as an either/or choice. Polling shows that a large majority of Americans support the idea of examining the causes of boththe 2020 summer riots in America’s cities and the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
It is clear, then, that many Americans see two sides to this story. In keeping with its mission to fill gaps in press coverage, RealClearInvestigations is launching a running compendium of data, with hyperlinked sourcing, comparing the damage done on Jan. 6, and the subsequent treatment of those accused of perpetrating it, with two other recent events: the summer 2020 riots and – in some ways a closer analogy – the all-but-forgotten riot in Washington on Inauguration Day 2017, as protesters challenged Donald Trump’s election and legitimacy much as Jan. 6 rioters challenged Joe Biden’s.
Many Democrats have called Jan. 6 a worse attack on America than 9/11, and Carlson shows how the government has linked the two, creating “Domestic War on Terror 2.0.”
The left, he says, is now using 1/6 “as a pretext to strip millions of Americans of their constitutional rights and defame them.”
Brown County Matters is a private Facebook Group requiring members to live, work, or own property in the county. Posts are intended to be of local (county) interests. It has general rules of expected behavior and the respective rule (s) are cited when a post is removed. Individuals are also blocked from the site when their contributions tend to be more disingenuous than constructive.
My perspective on the differences derived from the posts on the Election and Covid policy topics are provided below.
Left Perspective
From a “Left” perspective, the integrity of the 2020 Indiana and Presidential election should not be questioned and the Covid policy is not debatable or questionable. On Covid policy and vaccines, the conclusion from the Left is that “its settled science, shut up, get the shot (s), do what your told, and don’t question who we identify as the “experts.”
The First Amendment allows individuals to express their opinions. Any sources of information not approved by the government, local gatekeepers, or the “fact/bias” checkers (that claim to be non-partisan and independent) represents misinformation. It is interesting when the word “harmful” is associated with some information posted inferring adults are not capable of determining the quality of the information provided. And it begs the question: Who determines what information should be disseminated and how?
All original posts on BCM must align with the rules but replies to posts can include an alternative point of view regarding the message. Multiple sources of information are always helpful in validating information and identifying patterns. And, individuals do criticize the quality of a post to include posting counter information as to what they believe to be misinformation.
For example, in reply to the local school mask policy, I posted a video by Dr. Dan Stock to the Mt. Vernon school board advising against masks. This was considered “misinformation.” Other members posted criticisms by other doctors of Dr. Stocks position – all good. An online interview was then arranged by an independent party that allowed a discussion between Dr. Stock and one of his critics – very civil, professional, and informative. This type of discussion should be encourage – not suppressed. I would like to see follow-on discussions where viewers could ask questions and more detail can be discussed on the various aspects of the issue. For more info: Dr. Dan Stock addressed the Mt. Vernon School Board in Indiana.
Anyone (the messenger) questioning the Lefts narrative on many topics may be immediately attacked, cancelled, bullied, or labeled in a derogatory manner. The “message” that challenges the prevailing narrative is rarely discussed by the critics and would require a little more thought and analysis. It’s much easier to just attack the messenger, claim fake news or bias, question motives or just avoid the subject and debate. Critics are also subject to projection – projecting their own faults onto other people.
Another example of this is an article posted in the Brown County Democrat – Real threat to America isn’t Afghan refugees” that attacks anyone that disagrees with the left leaning author who also happens to be a director of Franklin College’s Pulliam School of Journalism.
In addition to projection, another common attribute of the Left is “virtue signaling” defined as “the sharing of one’s point of view on a social or political issue, often on social media, in order to garner praise or acknowledgment of one’s righteousness from others who share that point of view, or to passively rebuke those who do not.”
On the integrity of the Indiana election issues, I included a link to an article that discussed similar issues on the national election – The big ‘known unknown’ of 2020 by J. E Dyer at Liberty Unyielding. The author is a retired Naval Intelligence officer and offers a unique, objective, and broad perspective on many issues. Liberty Unyielding and the author were labeled as representing the “right wing fringe.”
Right Perspective
From what is being labeled as a “Right” perspective, our system of government enables citizens to work together to achieve a more perfect Union. This can be achieved by developing more perfect (better) policies. This requires an open forum and ground rules to discuss all relevant information and perspectives.
In the case of Covid, medical professionals locally as well as throughout the word have diverse and often opposing points of view regarding causes, prevention, treatments and policies. Another subject of disagreement is on natural and herd immunity.
Many medical professionals that question the approved narrative are “canceled” and/or censored and accused of providing misleading information. What has been missing is an open forum that addresses questions, acknowledges the differences, identifies area of agreement and disagreement, and then identifies the information needed to continually develop and improve upon the best solutions. This process builds trust, confidence in leadership, and leads to the better solutions.
When working towards a solution, leaders can opt for a process where everyone can benefit, or choose a win/lose (zero-sum) approach which unfortunately, is the more common approach.
The position regarding national polices is often inferred by the Left as “We won the election and we’re doing things our way , go along or else.” This approach leads to opposition and suboptimal outcomes.
Conservative positions on elections raise issues on the capability of the respective systems and processes to ensure citizen that elections are fair and all legal votes are counted. This has led to the demand for forensic audits and legislative changes with the intent to improve the system for future elections. The American Society of Quality (ASQ) – Government Division has recently proposing an improved management system supporting election authorities to enhance trust and confidence in U.S. elections
Brown County Leader Network
In America by law, We the People are top management and are responsible for expecting and supporting changes that result in outcomes where everyone benefits or at least are not any worse off in the long-term. Unfortunately, this knowledge may not be commonly acknowledged due to the influence of the two-party system, lack of knowledge of history and civic education in the schools.
Thankfully, Brown County Schools do support civic education and student teams have won national competitions on their knowledge of Constitutional issues. More info: We the People – Brown County Schools.
Whereas, the League acknowledges painfully that America is a nation founded on racism. We must end white privilege and the myth of white supremacy if we are to become the nation we pledge to be …
We call for the end to racism in all forms. We call for a review of all county laws, directives and initiatives of all kinds by any agency or segment of county government to determine if any such laws, directives or initiatives have or could result in racism or inequality in any form. We call for the expeditious remediation of any such instances so found.
Jordan Peterson Debunks White Privilege “There’s nothing more racist than targeting an entire ethnic group with a collective crime regardless of the innocence or guilt of its individuals.”
On the banner image for Matters, there is a link to the Brown County Leader Network (BCLN). This site offers some principles, methods and tools in developing assessments and supporting improvements. In developing solutions that can lead to better outcomes, the stakeholder matrix is a useful tool. The matrix is used to identify everyone (stakeholders) effected by a change, the information or services they expect and the feedback they need and will use to assess results. This concept applied at a local or national level offers an alternative way of acknowledging differences and helping to develop support for solutions.
The BCLN site also provides an outline of a problem and decision-making process. This process aligns with the Justice system in helping to discover the truth and identify the best decisions. Facts and evidence are used to help identify a problem. The pros (prosecution), cons (defense) and risks are identified. Transparency along with the supporting documentation help develop support for the respective changes.
Civil War?
Regarding the ideologies of the Left and Right, Dennis Prager captures what he believes to be key attributes. “A Guide to Basic Differences Between Left and Right” Prager was also labeled as being part of the right wing fringe.
Prager makes a distinction between the traditionally defined “liberals” and the Left or Leftists. He consider the liberals and conservatives as natural allies. He also assesses that we are in the midst of a Civil War: “Either America survives and the left is defeated, or the left survives and America is defeated. It’s as simple as that. We are in a civil war; I pray it is not violent, although if it is, they have begun the violence. If you deny we are in a civil war, you’re having your head in the proverbial sand.”
The focus of the December 2019 issue o the Atlantic was on the topic of “How to Stop A Civil War. The August 13, 2021 issue includes a final article in series titled Will the U.S. Pass a Point of No Return? “Crossing the Rubicon: “If the United States, in recent years, has been tracking the decline and fall of Republican Rome, when do we pass the point of no return?”
“I have been predicting for years that something resembling a civil war will arise and something like Trumpists likely will carry the day in the short-term.”
As I have noted repeatedly, liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism – as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin and others have come to recognize.
Context: Moral Authority – The Right Thing
An underlying basis for discussions is recognizing the moral authority that motivates ideology. What is the right thing, how is it determined, and by whom?
The secular design of the U.S. system of government was influenced by Judeo-Christian principles which accepts God as the moral authority. The Christian philosophy includes a belief that actions motivated by love lead to outcomes where everyone gains, or at least, are not any worse off in the long-term. The premise being that as more needs are met, there is less harm on people of needs that are not being met.
Governments also represents a “moral authority” in determining the right things where “Man” defines the moral code. For the U.S system of government, the intent of the founders was that the Power to identify the right things in working towards a more perfect Union, was to be managed on behalf of the citizens through a balance between the three branch of government, the federal government and the states. The length of the terms of office were staggered to help balance short term and long-term interests. Presidents are elected to 4 years, Senate 6, Congressman 2 and supreme court justices have lifetime appointments.
The Declaration of Independence identifies the commitment to the “self-evident truths” that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed …
Leftism (Marxism)
In contrast, political systems influenced by Marxist theory lead to a centralization of power inherent in socialist and communist based systems. Marx ‘s Communist Manifesto reinforced the strategy to divide people, exploit divisions and leverage their hate and rage to inspire revolutions that will lead to the Marx version of utopia – divide, conquer, terrorize, subjugate and control. Marx was raised in a Christian home but later abandoned God and associated with Satan. Marx declared: “I long to take vengeance on the One Who rules from above … We make war against all prevailing ideas of religion, of the state, of county, of patriotism.”
Another popular treatise of the Left for revolutionary change is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer – the “original radical that gained his own kingdom” – Hell.
As the newly elected atheist chaplain of Harvard University put it in The New York Times: “We don’t look to a god for answers. We are each other’s answers.” (1)
Mark Levin in his book American Marxism, makes the case that “the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture” which includes critical race theory, and “escalation of repression and and censorship to silence opposing forces and enforce conformity.” Mathew Lohmeier, who recently resigned from the Air Force as a result of the fall-out from his book “Irresistible Revolutions – Marxism’s Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military” also reinforces the threats from Marxist inspired ideology in the military and in American society.
The polarity between the left and the right is exacerbated by a lack of knowledge of history and civics. A counter to the belief that America’s founding started in 1619 vs 1776 is provided at the following: American Civics.
The American republic rests upon the foundation of “E Pluribus Unum” — out of many, one. Although the Founders knew from their own experience that a vast diversity in outlooks and opinions would be present among the country’s citizens, they understood that such diversity must rest upon principles and practices we hold in common. It is up to each generation to make sure that this foundational unity remains intact. This project on American Civics seeks to contribute to that worthy cause.
In summary, within Brown County, we have the same Left vs Right political divide that is prevalent throughout the country. We can choose the better approaches while acknowledging competing ideologies and philosophies in a respectful and constructive manner.
A Way Ahead. Raise awareness on the threats to our Republic, apply non-violent strategies proven successful by Martin Luther King and Gandhi, and apply the quality improvement principles, methods, tools.
He covers many of the key points – and “Massive Non-Compliance” is the counter. The threats include Leftism (against everything-isms), aka Marxism, enabled by government, media, big-tech, “woke” corporations and the anti-nationalists.
Lower levels of religious observance among Democratic Party activists — who are more likely to be atheists, agnostics or “nones” compared with their Republican counterparts — means that they must find meaning elsewhere. As the newly elected atheist chaplain of Harvard University put it in The New York Times: “We don’t look to a god for answers. We are each other’s answers.”
There is a certain freedom in letting go of the need to win an argument or claim victory over one’s opponents. Our fellow citizens do not need to be converted, and the world does not need to be made anew. …. This, I believe, is a better way to live, even as I admit that it is not so easy to hold one’s tongue (or tweets) when matters get contentious. But we can at least start by resisting that very human urge to make enemies of those who might otherwise become our friends.
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. -Bonhoeffer
This post contains dissenting opinions from the prevailing narratives associated with Covid policies, vaccines, mandates, and treatments. Over time, multiple sources of reporting may help identify trends and validation of the various allegations. They also help identify “questions” to help get to the truth of the issues.
Reference for the above Table: Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) world wide – Dr. John Ioannidis, Stanford University “Professor of Medicine (Stanford Prevention Research), of Epidemiology and Population Health. “Extrapolating from confirmed cases, he concluded that, around the world, more than half a billion people have probably been infected with COVID. Using that metric, Dr. Ioannidis concluded that most locations around the world have an IFR that’s less than 0.20%.Additionally, protecting vulnerable populations and treating people with appropriate medicines may further reduce mortality rates.”
Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) world wide – Dr. John Ioannidis, Stanford University The infection fatality rate (IFR), the probability of dying for a person who is infected, is one of the most critical and most contested features of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The expected total mortality burden of COVID-19 is directly related to the IFR. Moreover, justification for various non-pharmacological public health interventions depends crucially on the IFR. Some aggressive interventions that potentially induce also more pronounced collateral harms1 may be considered appropriate, if IFR is high. Conversely, the same measures may fall short of acceptable risk-benefit thresholds, if the IFR is low
Malone said the reason he is speaking out, in spite of the considerable personal risks, is simple. … “It’s because I’m bloody well pissed off. It’s not right, it’s not fair, it’s hurting people, it is breaking the rules, left and right, people are lying continuously, they’re manipulating data,” he said. “It’s shocking.”
“My wife and I are Central Coast Californians by birth and youth, and we actually come from slightly center-left on the political spectrum,” he told WND. … “But I’ve got to say, what we’ve observed live the last two years has completely changed our point of view on politics in the United States.
The risk of death from the injection is about three times higher for children and adolescents than death from COVID.
Japanese medical magazine Med Check examined the coronavirus vaccine’s serious side effects and deaths. The publication’s editor-in-chief, Rokuro Hama, revealed that in the elderly and health care workers, a disproportionate number of people died of various cardiovascular causes after the Covid gene-therapy jab compared to the general population. Furthermore, people in their twenties have seven times higher risk of death from vaccination than from COVID-19.
Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, documents that show Pfizer and the FDA knew in early 2021 that mRNA vaccines were killing thousands of people and causing spontaneous abortions, as well as damaging three times more women than men.
FDA fought the court-ordered release of FDA files by arguing that its files should have been sealed for 55 years. The judge disagreed and ordered 500 documents a month to be released, and the first document included this bombshell titled, “Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports.“
The facts surrounding the Omicron variant are emerging day-by-day. CNN reported on November 30, 2021, “there is still a lot we don’t know about the Omicron variant, but scientists are racing to determine its severity, transmissibility and whether it evades current vaccines.”
High-risk patients who are vaccinated and the unvaccinated need protection in the form of therapeutics to treat symptoms.
Bill Gates’ Gavi Vaccine Alliance in 2018 published a paper on its INFUSE program that ought to be required reading for every parent of young children.
This document is guaranteed to give pause to any parent considering taking the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, their local public-school nurse or government-compliant pediatrician who insists they get their child jabbed.
Published more than a year before anyone had heard of Covid-19, the document explains why Fauci, Gates and the corrupt U.S. government are so intent on getting these “vaccines” into the bodies of younger and younger people.
The real purpose behind the historic, unprecedented push to vaccinate the very young, even against diseases like Covid that do not pose a threat to them, is to fold the current generation of children into the blossoming global digital identity system.
The great body of evidence (comparative research studies and high-quality pieces of evidence and reporting judged to be relevant to this analysis) shows that COVID-19 lockdowns, shelter-in-place policies, masks, school closures, and mask mandates have failed in their purpose of curbing transmission or reducing deaths. These restrictive policies were ineffective and devastating
Nearly all governments have attempted compulsory measures to control the virus, but no government can claim success. The research indicates that mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures have had no discernible impact of virus trajectories.
Dr Alexander holds a PhD. He has experience in epidemiology and in the teaching clinical epidemiology, evidence-based medicine, and research methodology.
The newly discovered omicron mutation of the novel coronavirus will likely be a “minor” variant, according to epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough.
He replied that with 99% of COVID cases now of the delta variant, “the vaccines are not keyed against delta, so they’re having a terrible time in terms of getting control.”
McCullough added that the omicron variant first reported last week arose among travelers in Botswana who were vaccinated.
“So I think it’s clear now that this variant is an evolutionary mistake that arose within the vaccinated.”
There are intense debates surrounding the vaccine, its efficacy, how long the immunity lasts — particularly as the virus evolves — its experimental nature, its “Emergency Use Authorization,” and its serious side effects and adverse reactions, including death, that have been well documented.
Further, the various vaccines are not “vaccines” as commonly understood but “gene therapy,” mRNA platforms that insert themselves into our DNA. They then harness our own cellular machinery to produce the infamous “spike protein” to be distributed throughout the body eliciting the immune response, but sometimes with devastating consequences, as we have learned. A vaccine generally takes four-six years of development before being released. The COVID vaccine coming out in just a few months meant bypassing the usual safeguards that serve to protect the public before a new drug or vaccine is brought to market.
People who have recovered from COVID-19 are at little risk of contracting the disease again, according to a study published last week. Researchers in Qatar examined a cohort of over 353,000 people using national databases that contain information about patients with polymerase-chain-reaction-confirmed infections.
The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It was funded by Weill Cornell Medicine–Qatar, Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health, the Hamad Medical Corp., and Sidra Medicine.
We all owe Atlas an enormous debt of gratitude, for it was he who persuaded the Florida governor to choose the path of focussed protection as advocated by the Great Barrington Declaration, which Atlas cites as the “single document that will go down as one of the most important publications in the pandemic, as it lent undeniable credibility to focused protection and provided courage to thousands of additional medical scientists and public health leaders to come forward.”
A former Pfizer employee, now working as a pharmaceutical marketing expert and biotech analyst, has provided evidence in a public meeting in September suggesting that Pfizer is aware that these shots can cause those vaccinated to be more prone to contracting COVID-19 and infections.
In the United Kingdom, excess mortality is off the charts. Despite this, nobody is willing to consider the Covid-19 vaccines as responsible for the deaths.
Professor Carl Heneghan and Cancer Expert said that the current situation in the country is a “national scandal.” Over the past several months, a shocking 9,300 more people than usual have died in Great Britain, and officials are blaming everything else except the jabs.
Bill Gates and Adar Poonawalla, the partners in manufacturing the Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccine are made accused for their involvement in conspiracy.
Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccines, accused Dr. Faucistein and the CDC of lying about the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. he estimates 500,000 people died because they were denied the use of these drugs.
McCullough added, “The pandemic could have been over by now, he says, if those who tested positive for covid had been immediately treated before they fell ill enough to be hospitalized. He also says that thousands could have been, and still could be saved if the treatment protocol he and other physicians use were not suppressed.”
Early in the pandemic, together with a team of practicing physicians across the United States, I developed a protocol for the use of corticosteroids to treat COVID-19. At the time our public health agencies recommended against the use of corticosteroids—but we were soon vindicated, and corticosteroids are now part of the CDC’s recommended protocol.
As the pandemic wore on, we pooled our experience treating patients on the frontlines, and based on emerging data from academic studies, including peer-reviewed randomized-controlled trials (RCTs), we expanded our treatment protocol to employ various FDA-approved medicines. This includes fluvoxamine, methylprednisolone, ascorbic acid, thiamine, heparin, vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, and ivermectin.
I’ve used this treatment protocol to reduce COVID-19 deaths in my intensive care unit by up to 50 percent.
I’m going to quote the final sentence of the abstract which appears at the beginning of the article. This is all I, you – or anyone else – needs to know.
`We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following vaccination.’
That’s it. That’s the death bell for the covid-19 mRNA jabs.
he most up-to-date data by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which showed that children accounted for zero percent to 0.19% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 10 U.S. states reported zero child deaths.
He confirmed the data show the infection fatality rate for COVID is roughly similar to seasonal influenza. And he believes the COVID rate will be even lower once all the data are collected.
Further, Stanford University epidemiologist John P.A. Ioannidis, analyzing 36 studies along with an additional seven preliminary national estimates, has concluded the infection fatality rate around the world for those under 70 ranged from zero percent to 0.57%.
For children and young adults, the infection fatality rate is close to zero, pointed out Ioannidis, chairman at the Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology at Stanford’s medical school.
`We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following vaccination.’
> One of the most commonly used tricks to make a drug look more effective than it is in a real-world setting is to conflate absolute and relative risk reduction. While AstraZeneca boasted a relative reduction of 100%, the absolute reduction was 0.01%. For the Pfizer shot, the relative risk reduction was initially 95%, but the absolute risk reduction was only 0.84%
Last month, Merck and Ridgeback announced that molnupiravir could reduce by half the chances that a person infected by the coronavirus would need to be hospitalized. The drug was so overwhelmingly effective that an independent committee asked the researchers to stop their Phase III trial early—it would have been unethical to continue giving participants placebos. None of the nearly four hundred patients who received molnupiravir in the trial went on to die, and the drug had no major side effects. On November 4th, the U.K. became the first country to approve molnupiravir; many observers expect that an emergency-use authorization will come from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December.
In most of the United Kingdom, the New York Times reported, elementary school children and their teachers were not required to wear masks during the delta surge there earlier this year. …. A study of masked German schoolchildren published June 30 in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics found carbon dioxide content in “inhaled air” was at least three-fold higher than German law allows.
… in August and immediately following approval of the vaccine, more than 30 academics, professors, and scientists from this country’s most prestigious universities requested the data and information submitted to the FDA by Pfizer to license its COVID-19 vaccine.
The FDA’s response? It produced nothing. So, in September, my firm filed a lawsuit against the FDA on behalf of this group to demand this information. To date, almost three months after it licensed Pfizer’s vaccine, the FDA still has not released a single page. Not one.
On Friday Dr. Fauci told The New York Times podcast that the vaccines did not work as advertised and that Americans are in danger due to their waning immunity.
A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with a fee to hospital by federal government.
Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
A 20% “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for the use of remdesivir instead of other medicines, such as ivermectin.
Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19.
A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.
the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that the use of remdesivir in treating patients during the 2018 West African Ebola outbreak had to be discontinued ‘because mortality exceeded 50%.’ Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control published studies indicate a range of 71-75% adverse events caused by remdesivir (including liver and kidney damage), and many of the studies documented that remdesivir treatment had to be discontinued after 5-10 days because of adverse events or even worse, death.”
The federal government and health-care experts have denied that claim. But the president of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division is on record describing the mRNA shots as “cell and gene therapy” and acknowledging public wariness of the technology.
“Dr. Joseph Mercola has been shunned by the mainstream for honestly calling the jabs what they are. In March, he wrote: “In short, they know labeling them as ‘gene therapies’ would be like slapping a skull and crossbones label on them. Most people have enough common sense to realize that gene therapy is a different ballgame from a regular vaccination, and might be a bad idea, especially for children and younger individuals.”
A New York attorney filed a FOIA request in September asking for “documents reflecting any documented case of an individual who (1) never received a Covid-19 vaccine; (2) was infected with Covid-19 once, recovered, and then later became infected again; and (3) transmitted SARS CoV-2 to another person when reinfected.” …. The CDC responded: “A search of our records failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request. The CDC Emergency Operation Center (EOC) conveyed that this information is not collected.”
In comments to the paper, Memoli said that he supports COVID-19 vaccination in high-risk groups including obese people and the elderly. However, widespread vaccinations for people who have a low risk of death or severe illness from COVID-19 could hamper the U.S. population’s ability to develop more robust protection against the virus via previous infections, he said.

Conspiracy? Defined as an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act
Techno-Tyranny: How The US National Security State Is Using Coronavirus To Fulfill An Orwellian Vision. Last year, a government commission called for the US to adopt an AI-driven mass surveillance system far beyond that used in any other country in order to ensure American hegemony in artificial intelligence. Now, many of the “obstacles” they had cited as preventing its implementation are rapidly being removed under the guise of combating the coronavirus crisis. by BY WHITNEY WEBB
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla had an hour-long interview on Tuesday with Frederick Kemp of the Atlantic Council in which he calls mRNA shots a “gene editing,” which is an admission the mRNA jabs are not vaccines. Bourla also claims that scientists can “repair the mistakes” in DNA, or in other words they can play God.
By looking at the Atlantic Council’s website, it is a globalist and collectivist organization in the vein of the World Economic Forum.
One has to wonder what to think when the so-called “fact checkers,” like Reuters, has called anyone calling the jabs “gene editing” or “gene therapy” as spreading misinformation, yet you have the CEO of Pfizer calling it just that.
Dr. Joseph Mercola has been shunned by the mainstream for honestly calling the jabs what they are. In March, he wrote: “In short, they know labeling them as ‘gene therapies’ would be like slapping a skull and crossbones label on them. Most people have enough common sense to realize that gene therapy is a different ballgame from a regular vaccination, and might be a bad idea, especially for children and younger individuals.”
What should be noted is that Kemp’s statement that Pfizer’s jab is “approved” is misinformation itself. No shot on the market is approved with all those in use under emergency use authorization.
This is an anonymously posted document by someone who calls themselves Spartacus. Because it’s anonymous, I can’t contact them to ask for permission to publish. So I hesitated for a while, but it’s simply the best document I’ve seen on Covid, vaccines, etc. Whoever Spartacus is, they have a very elaborate knowledge in “the field”. If you want to know a lot more about the no. 1 issue in the world today, read it. And don’t worry if you don’t understand every single word, neither do I. But I learned a lot.
Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology employed by the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines: Inoculating 28 million children 5 to 11 years old could lead to “1,000 or more excess deaths” while the risk from COVID-19 for healthy children is “about zero” and appears to be lower than the seasonal flu.
Paul Alexander, a clinical epidemiologist and former senior adviser on pandemic policy in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “We’ve been fed a lot of misleading information … children don’t get severely ill … children don’t die from this infection.”
Dr. Richard Urso, Texas ophthalmologist: In Sweden, where schools were kept open, there was “not a single death of a child from COVID.”
Nov 2, 2021. COVID-19 Vaccination for Children 5 through 11 Years Old
CDC now recommends that children between the ages of 5 and 11 years receive the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine. Get more information and read CDC’s media statement.
Smaller (less thant 100 employees) Companies. OSHA said Thursday that the mandate could be expanded to companies with fewer than 100 workers. The agency said it will make a decision after collecting public comment on that proposal for the next 30 days.
Kulldorf, noting both studies cannot be right, said he has never “never before seen such a large discrepancy between studies that are supposed to answer the same question.”
Kulldorff is an epidemiologist, biostatistician and professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is the co-author, along with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Dr. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford, of the Great Barrington Declaration, advocating a public policy of “focused protection” on the vulnerable while letting others go about their business. More than 860,000 people have signed the declaration, including 14,981 medical and public health scientists, and 44,167 medical practitioners.
“The evidence is in. Governors, journalists, scientists, university presidents, hospital administrators and business leaders can continue to follow Dr. Anthony Fauci or open their eyes. After 700,000-plus COVID deaths and the devastating effects of lockdowns, it is time to return to basic principles of public health.”
Right now, the medical establishment is doing the equivalent of a doctor who, when he concludes that you are in the early stages of a sinus infection, sends you home without any antibiotics and, instead, tells you to return when you’re septic. When it comes to COVID, we’re all told to go home and get back to the doctor when we’re on the verge of dying and interventional medicines will no longer work. Meanwhile, almost the entire American establishment (Democrats, doctors, Hollywood stars) hectors everyone to get vaccinated.
Delta Variant – early treatment (with available and safe drugs) the key for the vaxxed and unvaxxed.
Vaccination can’t be the only strategy
We have existing treatments independent of the variant
Too much fear and propaganda – IQ drop of 20 points for kids born after Jan 2020.
Of the approximate 32- kids that dies of Covid, all had comorbidities. This could be changing. Again, early treatment (with available drugs) can prevent deaths.
Prevention: Ivermectin is effective if taken regularly as is HDC or both – no deaths
Dr. Tyson – 6,000 patients – no deaths if treated day 1-7, (?) deaths if treated day 7-14.
Barriers – Financial interests – vaccines are profitable; Academia – last 10 yrs, “only proof of efficacy of a drug has to come from a large, double blind randomized control trial. Takes time, delayed, under-dosed.
Dr. Malone – safety of the mRNA has enormous promise. Safety of the underlug technology is not demonstrated yet. In the fog of war, rushed to market.
Spike Protein from the vaccine has caused more damage than any medical treatment in history. Most people will be fine.
Dr. Malone. Takes a decade or more to produce a vaccine that is safe and effective and to demonstrate it is safe. . FDA 2 years after phase 3 trials of 3,000 people (the more the better) and another two years to see if there are any autoimmune issues.
Short-cuts? Normally it takes three years to evaluate the data vs 6-8 months after phase 3 trails were completed. Didn’t have the data to identify and assess adverse effects. No testing on effect on pregnant women. Spike Protein causes inflammation in the ovaries – do not know effect or if is safe.
“The mandates are pointless. Now that we know that fully vaccinated individuals are getting infected, they can transmit the disease. Unfortunately, they are being hospitalized, they’re getting seriously ill, they’re dying. There’s no point to the mandate, whatsoever.“
On the dangers of the vaccines, Senator Johnson added, “They’re completely ignoring the vaccine injuries. And Maria, people really need to understand this because it’s not being reported. It’s being suppressed. But over 25 years with the flu vaccine there were a little less than 1,700 deaths reported on the Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS). That’s CDC’s early surveillance security system… With the COVID Vaccine, we’ve had 16,766 deaths in 10 months administering this vaccine.”
Dr. Peter McCullough has been a leader in working to help people build their immune system and to provide treatments that will prevent the need for people to be hospitalized. He is among the many of physicians that support building natural immunity and has expressed concerns with the vaccines. INTERVIEW WITH DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH –
Warning that the world is “in the middle of a major biological catastrophe,” renowned physician and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough charged in a recent address that fraudulent public health officials are pushing experimental “gene-transfer” COVID-19 vaccines that produce the “loaded weapon” of a toxic spike protein.
Dr. Dan Stock wants to warn people about the Covid-19 vaccines. Nine months to a year after getting them, many people are going to get sick and many will die, he says. The word he used to describe what is likely to happen is “holocaust.” Could he be right? Stock lists three reasons.
In a Highwire exclusive, Deborah Conrad, a hospitalist physician’s assistant on the frontlines of the pandemic, pulls back the curtain on the complete lack and disregard in her hospital for reporting Covid vaccine injury to VAERS, this country’s only mechanism to track the safety of these rushed-to-market, mandated products. In riveting detail, including emails & recorded phone conversations, Conrad exposes the internal push to turn a blind eye to injuries and “tow the company line” that this vaccine is safe.
Ventavia Research Group operated several of the trial sites in the fall of 2020. Brook Jackson worked for the company during this time. She told the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that the trial was riddled with issues, including the falsification of data.
Jackson said she alerted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the problems she witnessed and was fired within hours of doing so.
As testimonies of people being denied proper healthcare for COVID infection in America’s hospitals mount, attorneys are hitting back at the medical staff responsible for overseeing “death sentence” COVID treatment plans, promising justice to those responsible: “We’re going to hold you accountable.”
A “Physicians’ Declaration” produced by an international alliance of physicians and medical scientists strongly condemns the global strategy to treat COVID, accusing policy-makers of potential “crimes against humanity” for preventing physicians from providing life-saving treatments for their patients and suppressing open scientific discussion. … The document states that “one size fits all” treatment recommendations have resulted in needless illness and death.
Martin Kulldorf, professor of medicine at Harvard University, says we must acknowledge that 400 years of scientific enlightenment may be coming to end because there is no longer open and honest discourse, which is critical for science and public health.
Kulldorff calls his critics’ hand by demanding they engage in a scientific discussion about their position, rather than name-calling and threatening professional repercussions.
“If we are to be faulted for anything, it is that we failed to convince governments to implement focused protection instead of damaging lockdowns,” Kulldorff writes. “One place where we had some success was Florida, where the cumulative age-adjusted Covid mortality is lower than the US national average with less collateral damage. If we are wrong, then as scientists we would welcome a scientific discussion on how and where we are wrong.”
2. Apologize for the biggest public health fiasco in history
3. Rebuild public trust
The fact that the world is now 19 months into COVID demands that continue to defy science, ethics, and human and natural rights, with still no substantive response to the evidence- and reason-based critics of all these drastic impositions, suggests oppression is all the COVID authoritarians have. If they had science, reason, and humanity on their side, they would demonstrate it instead of twisting everyone’s arms.
Since they’re sticking with coercion and pressure tactics instead of informed and open debate, it’s safe to presume at this point that arm-twisting is all they have. And that they’re not going to stop until people make them.

Modified Patterson early treatment protocol for COVID. Based on recommendation of Dr. Bruce Patterson with a few minor improvements. Patterson who treats thousands of long-haul COVID and vaccine cases so he knowns more than anyone else the drugs that in combination are the most effective in countering the inflammation caused by COVID. Take all drugs (that you can access) IMMEDIATELY after you suspect a COVID infection (except as indicated). They are all safe and do not interact with each other.
Viganò asserts that vaccines normally go through years of rigorous testing, and that the lack of such a process in the case of COVID-19 jabs represents public health authorities conducting “experimentation on the entire world population.”
The Archbishop referenced drug treatments that have proven effective in fighting COVID without the risks of vaccines, noting that such drugs have been discredited by global health bodies and the media.
“It must be reiterated that there are effective treatments which cure patients and allow them to develop permanent natural immune defenses, something that the vaccines do not do,” he wrote. “Furthermore, these treatments do not cause serious side effects, since the drugs that are used have been licensed for decades.”
“International standards specify that an experimental drug cannot be authorized for distribution except in the absence of an effective alternative treatment: this is why drug agencies in the USA and Europe have prevented the use of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, hyper-immune plasma, and other therapies with proven effectiveness,” he added.
Viganò goes on to state that the vaccines proving ineffective in preventing people from getting and passing on the virus means they can’t even be called vaccines.
The Archbishop expressed his fury at other members of the clergy and Pope Francis himself for facilitating a “crime against humanity” and “satanic action against God.”
Finally, according to our Founding Fathers, “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” This country isn’t run by tyrants – yet – but the current vaccination campaign bears unmistakable totalitarian undertones. “Get the vaccine or lose your job.” That’s the message of the government. You can be a healthy 30-year-old who already had COVID, but the government doesn’t care. It wants everyone vaccinated – facts be damned.
“We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide for themselves,”
Natural Acquired COVID Immunity Passport. Our mission is to help all people to determine if they are immune to COVID-19 virus through their own immune system. This requires a blood test to see if you achieved natural virus immunity, without the “vaccine” shot. If you have natural immunity, you do not need the COVID shot. …. Whether you know or are unsure if you have had the virus and want to know if you have achieved the natural immunity this is for you.
Approximately twenty studies have now emerged regarding natural immunity to COVID. All of them point to the fact that natural immunity acquired through a COVID infection can be quite robust.
The answer is clear. Natural immunity provides greater than 99% protection against Covid-19 while vaccine immunity is well below this level of protection even directly after vaccination and from there rapidly wanes.
“In the entire history of mankind there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of regular people. What makes any of us think that it is different now.”
AGs in Missouri, Nebraska, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming sued President Joe Biden and multiple federal agencies and officials over federal guidance and an executive order mandating Covid-19 vaccinations for all workers for employers that have covered contracts with the federal government.
“I believe the COVID vaccine is a greater threat to soldiers’ health and military readiness than the virus itself,” U.S. Army aerospace physician Lt. Col. Theresa Long said Tuesday.
Long, who is senior flight surgeon at the U.S. Army Flight School at Fort Rucker, Alabama, was addressing a roundtable discussion put together by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin). She said she was speaking under federal military whistleblower protection.
DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination at least through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.
1. Lack of a Public and Transparent Adverse Events Reporting System
2. Severe Impairments in Healthcare Professionals’ Adverse Events Reporting System
3. Data Distortion (including the deletion of thousands of citizen responses to a post by the Israeli Ministry of Health)
4. Legal and Ethical Violations in Data Collection Processes
The group told the FDA its conclusion is “reinforced by the significant doubts about the reliability of the data reported by Israel, as detailed above, and the consequent major concern that their use might be misleading and thus disrupt the decision-making processes pertaining to the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccines.”
I am not an anti-vaxxer, and plenty of my friends and colleagues have been vaccinated. … But these vindictive and punitive measures are outrageous and completely unjustifiable. In the end, they will do more harm than good, hurting lives more than saving lives while increasing our general mistrust of authority.
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a biostatistician at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said in an interview with EpochTV that the risks outweigh any benefit.
I am not so insensitive to the voices of my colleagues in Infectious Disease and Pediatrics that I cannot hear them objecting. Loudly. One objection might be, “Why would you give ammunition for vaccine-hesitant parents and kids to avoid a societally-useful, individually-protective vaccine, all over a rare,1/6,600 reaction?” My inner Libertarian has a ready answer for that: I cannot endorse any policy that requires a substantial segment of the population to undergo a medical intervention in which the risk of harm might possibly exceed the benefit. In fact, I feel obliged to fight it.
It is Pfizer’s corporate duty to seek the broadest possible implementation of its vaccine, but even its most prominent board member is warning us: it’s too soon to mandate these vaccines to children. Our public health experts need to listen.
“Emergency use authorization of biological agents requires the existence of an emergency, and the non-existence of alternate treatments,” Dr. Rose said. “There is no emergency and Covid-19 is exceedingly treatable.”
Steve Kirsch: Jessica Rose, PhD just had her paper on VAERS analysis of myocarditis rejected after two rounds of review at “Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine.” NO REASON GIVEN. This is scientific misconduct at its finest by the peer reviewers (not the Journal). Jessica is first-rate.
The state attorney general in Nebraska has issued an opinion that physicians can prescribe hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin as treatments for COVID-19 without violating any of the state’s laws or regulations.” The request from the health department came because of the flood of conflicting and inaccurate information about the treatments.
Early treatment protocols such as those used by Fareed and Tyson have been shown to provide more than a 99% relative risk reduction, work for all variants, and the drugs don’t maim or harm the recipients.
Dr. Fareed: The earlier the treatment can be started after the start of the infection, the better and more rapid the recovery (as well as the reduction in the risk of spread/contagious period). This would mean that the patient should optimally start the treatment in the first 4 days of the infection and within five days of exposure. It usually is based on symptoms which start within 1-4 days of viral entry into the upper respiratory system. Even starting the multi-faceted treatment later (7-10 days after infection) is also very worthwhile if severe pneumonia necessitating hospitalization has not yet set in.
But it was the eight doctors—who represent many more—who were the focus of the event. It would be almost inappropriate to describe them as other than a cast of superheroes. I’ll mix the metaphors or universes or whatever as I try to explain just a piece of what just went down.

Any doctor who actually reads the studies, or follows any of the protocols published by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, will see a lot of peer pressure to stop. The financial risks may be extreme. It takes a spine of steel to stand up to the authoritarian orthodoxy.
Dr. Jessica Rose: Assessment of the data reported in VAERS. She holds degrees in applied mathematics, immunology, computational biology, molecular biology and biochemistry. You can find her bio at this link. The presentation references the work of Steve Kirsch that contributed to FDAs decision to delay approval for vaccination of children (1). She also supports the early treatment protocols developed by Dr. Peter McCullough.
Presentation Conclusions:
Use Early Treatments

Presentation Recommendation. Early treatment with known efficacious and safe drugs.
The Great Barrington Declaration. Over 55,000 infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists recommended an approach referred to as Focused Protection. Over 800,00 concerned citizens have also signed. “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection. “
… new scientific study out of Israel last week, the largest of its kind, compared natural immunity in individuals who were previously infected with Covid-19 against immunity in individuals who had received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
Those who had been vaccinated were 13 times more likely to be infected with the Delta variant (what has been called a “breakthrough” infection) than those with natural immunity, the study found
The study authors conclude: “This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer-lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant.”
And now the (Israeli) study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine alone. Should they also get the vaccine? How do you make the case to them?” Gupta asked. … “You know, that’s a really good point, Sanjay. I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that,” Fauci replied.
Military Servicemembers file a Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of the 220,000 membersthat have natural immunity. They are challenging the forced mandate for all. The lawsuit identifies the process that was used for approval of the vaccines and its deviation from the norm. Army Regulation 40-562 (“AR 40-562) “provides documented survivors of an infection a presumptive exemption from vaccination due to the natural immunity acquired as a result of having survived the infection. “ Lawsuit
The forced vaccination of all military personnel with the present COVID-19 vaccines may compromise U.S. national security due to the unknown extent of serious vaccine complications,” Furman wrote in his letter. “Further study is needed before committing the Total Force to one irreversible experimental group. Initial reports leave more concern for the COVID-19 vaccinations than the virus itself for the (at present) exceptionally healthy military population.”
In academia – Todd Zywicki of George Mason University School of Law sued over the mandate – he proved that he had natural immunity – and won an individual concession from the school but the policy remained unchanged. He is just one person but there are thousands of others, most of whom are quiet about their plight. They don’t have lawyers. They are considering just giving in. They wonder what the point of resistance really is. (The Purges have begun, Burning Platform)
Of the approximately 2,500 active duty Navy SEALs, each of whom cost Americans at least $500,000 to train, several hundred have sought an exemption from the Covid-19 vaccine mandate in the military—as many as a quarter of all active duty SEALs, according to R. Davis Younts, a JAG lawyer who is representing several of the special operators in his private capacity. JustTheNews reported that the SEALs—most of whom are shooters, not in senior leadership—have been told that, if they seek a religious accommodation, they will no longer be able to serve as active duty soldiers. In other words, their requests will almost certainly be denied.
The lawsuit alleges that the federal government’s mandate specifies only FDA-approved vaccines. It adds that the FDA’s approval specifies only Pfizer’s “Comirnaty” vaccine, and not the unnamed Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that has been available for nearly a year and remains under emergency use authorization.
The FDA has maintained that the existing Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is identical to the Comirnaty vaccine and considered interchangeable, and that the only difference is the legal name and the packaging.
Service members from all five branches of the military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a class action lawsuit against the Department of Defense over its COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The 24 plaintiffs “face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation,” according to Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal firm that filed the lawsuit.
The lawsuit (pdf), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, lists President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as defendants.
The Guardian, a UK newspaper, has published a wonderfully informed, detailed list of key facts you should understand about COVID. I am going to give you the reader’s digest version, but here is the link to read the whole thing. Please do.
Sept 18, 2021. Brown County contracts with IU for ambulance service. “125 Staff Part Ways With Indiana’s Biggest Hospital System After Refusing Vaccine By Tom Ozimek
On Friday an FDA advisory panel declined to endorse authorization the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid booster shot for people aged 16 or older.
The panel voted 16-2 to reject extra doses of an experimental vaccine, citing insufficient data from incomplete clinical trials and the potential risk of heart inflammation – especially among young men.
The FDA hearing prior to the decision was stunning. The hearing was 8 hours long and it included SHOCKING testimony from American doctors.
Dr. Joseph Fraiman, MD told the FDA on Friday that government does not have data to show the vaccine was more beneficial than it is harmful for teenage boys.
Steve Kirsch, the Executive Director of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund was up next to testify before the FDA. Kirsch argued the vaccines kill more people than they save. … Kirsh pointed out that there patients were 71 times more likely to suffer a heart attack after taking the vaccine than those taking other vaccines. 20 died from the drug, 14 from the placebo. … Kirsh argued that the vaccine killed more people than saved lives.
Steve Kirsch also pointed out that early treatments are more successful than boosters, noting that cases in Israel are at an all-time high and cases in Uttar Pradesh, India where they administer Ivermectin, the cases are nearly non-existent today.
