INALIENABLE RIGHTS

Imagine a country where the criminals are freed and the church-goers are threatened and fined.
This is happening in the USA right now.
Louisiana pastor arrested for holding services.Central Police Chief Roger Corcoran called Spell’s decision to hold service despite the social distancing orders “reckless and irresponsible.”

BUT ALL THOSE CHURCH-GOERS CAN "MEET" AT WALMART AND SHOP, SQUEEZING DOWN AISLES, INCHES FROM ONE ANOTHER.


THEY COULD ALL RIDE THE SUBWAY IN NEW YORK CITY. 
BUT NO CHURCH MEETINGS. 


IT'S BEEN ONGOING FOR DECADES. 

"...the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1962 and 1963 decision that school-sponsored Bible reading was unconstitutional.

“One can argue, and some have, that the decision by the Supreme Court – in a series of three decisions back in 1962 and 1963, to remove Bible and prayer from our public schools, may be the most spiritually significant event in our nation’s history over the course of the last 55 years."

EXPELLED FOR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS
JULY 8, 2010

OUTCOME? U.S. District Judge George Caram Steeh dismissed [Julea] Ward’s lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University. She was removed from the school’s counseling program last year because she refused to counsel homosexual clients.
The university contended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics. 

The case is similar to a lawsuit the [Alliance Defense Fund] filed against Augusta State University in Georgia.
Counseling student Jennifer Keeton was allegedly told to stop sharing her Christian beliefs in order to graduate.
Keeton’s lawsuit alleged that she was told to undergo a reeducation program and attend “diversity sensitivity training.”

REEDUCATION PROGRAM?   
LIKE THEY HAD IN CHINA WHEN MAO WAS IN POWER?  


Second Grader Banned From Reading Bible During “Read to Myself” Time
“More than forty years ago, the Supreme Court famously stated that students do NOT ‘shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.’ That means that second graders have the right to read the Bible during ‘read to myself’ time.”

STUDENTS FACE INCREASING RELIGIOUS HOSTILITY
In just the past year alone we have defended the religious liberty of:
-High school valedictorians told they can’t mention their faith in graduation speeches,
-High school cheerleaders banned from using inspiring Bible verses on banners at football games,
-A college student told to remove her cross necklace because it might offend someone,
-A class of college students ordered to write JESUS on a paper and then stomp on it or be punished."

Calif. County Bans Churches from Singing in Online Services April 14, 2020  
Mendocino County in Northern California released the order April 10, saying the referenced rules run through at least May 10 and apply to churches, concert halls, auditoriums, temples and playhouses. Any recording or live-streamed event must be limited to four individuals at the venue, with all social distancing rules being practiced.

The county’s order targets churches with multiple people on stage singing and playing instruments.

“No singing or use of wind instruments, harmonicas, or other instruments that could spread COVID-19 through projected droplets shall be permitted unless the recording of the event is done at one’s residence, and involving only the members of one’s household or living unit, because of the increased risk of transmission of COVID-19,” the order says.


In 2011, the class president at Hampton High School in Tennessee wanted to deliver a prayer at graduation. 
The principal issued an edict that any child who attempted to pray would be stopped, escorted from the building by police and arrested.


NO DRIVE-IN CHURCHES, BUT DRIVE IN TO LIQUOR STORES?

Much of seminary president Albert Mohler's recent column referenced the banning of drive-in churches, as has happened in several locations.

Although churches “should follow generally applicable shelter-in-place orders,” they should not be singled out, Mohler wrote.

“During this crisis, governments must determine what services are essential to society and those that can be suspended in order to slow the spread of the virus,” Mohler wrote. “However, we have a major problem when governments indicate that liquor stores and pet stores are essential but religious services are not. When governments assert that abortions are essential but singing in a streamed worship service is just too unsafe and nonessential, then we have slipped into a complete upending of the American constitutional order.

“Government should never be in the position to derail any religious ministry and deem it nonessential. That is, on its face, completely unconstitutional,” Mohler concluded.


Greenville, MS Mayor Waives $500 Tickets Given to Congregants Attending Drive-In Church Service. 
APRIL 14, 2020   
The mayor of Greenville, Mississippi said Monday that he has waived the $500 tickets that were issued to Temple Baptist Church congregants at an April 8 drive-in church service, CBN News reports.

Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons’ announcement comes after he initially approved an executive order on April 7 that prohibits drive-in services.

Reports say eight Greenville police officers issued $500 tickets to congregants who refused to leave a parking lot where Temple Baptist Church was having a drive-in service on April 8. Church members were parked in the church’s parking lot with their windows rolled up, listening to a sermon broadcast.

THIS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AND TARGETING OF CHRISTIANS AND CHURCHES IS NOT NEW. 


CAN A TEACHER WEAR RELIGIOUS GARB TO SCHOOL, PROVIDED THE TEACHER DOES NOT PROSELYTIZE TO THE STUDENTS?
The First Amendment Center’s A Teacher’s Guide to Religion in the Public Schools provides that “teachers are permitted to wear non-obtrusive jewelry, such as a cross or Star of David. But teachers should not wear clothing with a proselytizing message (e.g. a ‘Jesus Saves’ T-shirt).”

Can the government ever interfere with someone’s religious practices?

Under current constitutional law, the government CAN impose restrictions on a religious belief or practice, as long as the law in question applies to everyone and does not target a specific religion or religious practice.


IS IT LEGAL FOR STUDENTS TO PRAY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
Yes...BUT...
 The Supreme Court has never actually "outlawed “prayer in schools.
Students are free to pray alone or in groups, as long as such prayers are not disruptive and do not infringe upon the rights of others.

But this right “to engage in voluntary prayer does NOT include the right to have a captive audience listen or to compel other students to participate.” (This is the language supported by a broad range of civil liberties and religious groups in a joint statement of current law.)

What the Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down are state-sponsored or state-organized prayers in public schools.

The Supreme Court has made clear that prayers organized or sponsored by a public school — even when delivered by a student — violate the First Amendment, whether in a classroom, over the public address system, at a graduation exercise, or even at a high school football game. (Engel v. Vitale, 1962; School Dist. of Abington Township v. Schempp, 1963; Lee v. Weisman, 1992; Santa Fe Independent School. Dist. v. Doe, 2000)

BOTTOM LINE?
YOU HAVE TO HIDE THAT YOU'RE PRAYING AND NOT PRAY ALOUD. 

INCREASING PERSECUTION 
Since 2014 there has been a 76 percent increase in religious freedom violations, according to “Hostility to Religion: The Growing Threat to Religious Liberty in America.”


Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said, “This report is designed to quantify the threat to our First freedom and to challenge Americans to use their God-given freedoms to protect these freedoms we enjoy as Americans,”

Among the cases listed in the report:

· -- An 11-year-old student in Hattiesburg, Mississippi was penalized for mentioning Jesus in a Christmas poetry assignment.

-- Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freedom of the Santa Rosa County school district in Florida were charged with criminal contempt because they prayed over a meal at school. They were later found not guilty of violating an injunction banning the promotion of religious events at school.

The ACLU also requested documents from the Escambia County School District that might relate to religion or prayer. Specifically, the ACLU requested records from Escambia Schools about graduations and baccalaureate services. The ACLU public records requests also asked for the notes of all speakers at the event as well as any audio or video recordings of the events. The ACLU request extended to all schools in Escambia County, including Northview High School.

--· A Christian A cappella group at James Madison University in Virginia was told they could not perform “Mary Did You Know” because it was religious. They were directed to only sing secular songs.

The name of the report is “Hostility to Religion: The Growing Threat to Religious Liberty in America.” 

A few other religious violations listed in the report include:

-- The Federal Reserve forced an Oklahoma bank to remove Christmas decorations. (God forbid we celebrate a holiday that’s been around for 2,000 years.)

-- The Freedom from Religion Foundation protested having Mother Theresa on a stamp. Why? Because she was a religious figure. (She was also a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.)

--In 2011, the Obama Administration was against placing a copy of a D-Day prayer on a World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. The kicker is: the prayer was by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Three years later, they allowed it.)

--The Freedom from Religion Foundation sued the city of Santa Clara, California. The city’s crime? They displayed a granite cross in Memorial Cross Park. (Wow! If you can’t have a cross in a park named “Memorial Cross Park,” where can you have one?)

--An Ohio library banned a Christian group from meeting to discuss traditional marriage. The library told the group they had to include supporters of same-sex marriage. (Let me turn the tables: Would they force a group wishing to discuss same-sex marriage to include those who support traditional marriage?) 

--In 2012, the government banned prayers at a homeless shelter in Evansville, Illinois. Even though the prayers were open to all and were not required. (Now, they only allow a moment of silence.)  

--San Diego firefighters were threatened with discipline if they refused to participate in a gay pride parade. (The firefighters were then insulted during the parade.)  

--In 2013, the Freedom from Religion Foundation (yes, them again) demanded that the city of Coos Bay, Oregon remove its Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial. Guess why? Because it includes a cross. (So far, the city has refused to remove it.)

There are too many examples of attempts to remove nativity scenes, “In God We Trust” mottoes, Christian monuments and  symbols, ban Bibles in public places and “God Bless America” signs to include here.

NO HANDING OUT BIBLES ON CAMPUS

May Bibles from third-parties be distributed in public schools?
Courts have uniformly decided that Bibles from third parties CANNOT be distributed in public elementary schools and the vast majority of courts have decided that Bibles CANNOT be distributed in public middle or high schools, as well.

ONE decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit allowed for "passive" distribution of Bibles from a third party.

 However, under the relevant policy, teachers or other school personnel could have NO active or passive involvement with the distribution, including having no custody over the Bibles.
Additionally, the policy placed numerous other restrictions on the distribution.

[See Roark, 573 F.3d 556; Berger, 982 F.2d 1160; Roe, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 32793; Jabr, 171 F. Supp. 2d 653 (W.D. LA 2001)]

NO CLERGY ON CAMPUS EXCEPT FOR SECULAR REASONS, BUT IT'S OKAY TO HAVE 'DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR', CLASSES ON ISLAM, CLASSES ON BECOMING TRANSGENDER, CLASSES ON MARXISM.

During school hours may clergy or other third-parties visit public schools to proselytize or otherwise religiously indoctrinate students?

Schools are not required to allow any third parties on campus during school hours to meet or have discussions with students on any subject.

 Other than for the purposes of Equal Access Act Clubs (see Chapter 9), if third parties are allowed on campus during school hours, they should not proselytize or otherwise religiously indoctrinate students.

[UNLESS THEY ARE LGBTQ, MUSLIM, ATHEISTS, EVOLUTIONISTS, HUMANISTS, JUST ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT JUDEO-CHRISTIAN.]

However, there are limited cases indicating that clergy are permitted on campus during school hours to meet or have discussions with students on secular subjects, provided that clergy do not wear clerical garb and that non-clergy or secular professionals are permitted to meet with students on the same terms and conditions.


OTHER EXAMPLES

(1) Florida Ministry Told To Choose Between Jesus And Helping The Poor:
"For the past 31 years, the Christian ministry has been providing food to the hungry in Lake City, Fla. without any problems. But all that changed when they said a state government worker showed up to negotiate a new contract. ...A state agriculture department official told them they would not be allowed to receive USDA food unless they removed portraits of Christ, the Ten Commandments, a banner that read 'Jesus is Lord' and stopped giving Bibles to the needy." When the government tells the Christian Service Center it has to give up on Christ or quit using USDA food to help the poor, that’s religious discrimination.

(2) California Christians Found “Not Guilty” of Reading Bible Near Government Offices:
"A court has said that a pair of Christians were ‘allowed’ to read the Bible aloud outside the Department of Motor Vehicles in Hemet, California. Wasn’t it kind of the government courts in California to say that these Christians were allowed to have their rights to free religious expression? ...Back in 2011 Mark Mackey and Bret Coronado were arrested and charged with misdemeanor offenses for reading the Bible outside the DMV location. ... But on August 13, Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer found the men ‘not guilty’ of any offenses.

Interestingly, the judge also pointed out that the law prosecutors tried to invoke was likely unconstitutional as it gave law enforcement over-broad powers to quash public gatherings in the first place. Sadly, this case did not go toward settling the constitutionality of the law, but it was a victory of sorts to have the judge even mention the fact."

(3) Detroit, Michigan (May 6, 2013) — After more than two years of intense motion practice and discovery, the City of Dearborn has agreed to enter into a settlement that includes a public apology for arresting several Christian missionaries who were peacefully preaching to Muslims at the Dearborn Arab International Festival in 2010.

(4) Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk found himself at odds with his Lackland Air Force Base commander after he objected to her plans to severely punish an instructor who had expressed religious objections to homosexuality. During the conversation, his commander ordered him to share his personal views on homosexuality.

“I was relieved of my position because I don’t agree with my commander’s position on gay marriage,” he told me. “We’ve been told that if you publicly say that homosexuality is wrong, you are in violation of Air Force policy.”

The accusations against Monk are a court-martial offense in the Air Force – and it’s quite possible that the 19-year veteran with a spotless record could be booted out of the military because of his Christian beliefs.

And he’s not the only Christian at Lackland Air Force Base facing persecution for opposing gay marriage, according to Monk’s pastor.

(5) Government Forces Churches To Get Permits For Baptisms:
The Park Service recently began a new policy requiring churches that wished to hold baptisms in public waters to apply for a special permit at least 48 hours in advance of the baptism. The Park Service justified this recent demand by saying that the permits were necessary to “maintain park natural/cultural resources and quality visitor experiences, specific terms and conditions have been established.”

…On August 21, Rep. Jason Smith (Missouri, R) heeded the complaints of his constituents and wrote a letter to the NPS asking what the heck was going on…

…Between citizen outrage and Rep. Smith’s threat to bring the matter before the full Congress, however, the Park Service quickly reversed its new policy, writing to the Congressman that, “As of today, the park’s policy has been clarified to state that no permit will be required for baptisms within the Riverways. I can assure you the National Park Service has no intention of limiting the number of baptisms performed within the park.”

When the government demands that a church get a permit to do baptisms, it’s also tacitly saying it has the right to deny that permit. That's not acceptable.

(6) Florida Professor Demands Student Stomp On Jesus: 
It all started with a conflict between an antagonistic professor and one brave student at Florida Atlantic University.
Ryan Rotela was told by his professor to write Jesus Christ’s name on a piece of paper and stomp on it. Rotela defiantly refused and in retaliation, a formal disciplinary action was started against him.

But, before the system could roll over Rotela, a funny thing happened. The word about what was happening to him got out, Christians became outraged, and suddenly the university’s tune quickly changed. “FAU’s Senior Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Charles Brown, has since issued a groveling formal apology.” Next thing you know, the disciplinary action was waved off.

Now, comes word that the professor, Deandre Poole, has been put on administrative leave following a withering public response, that included complaints from the Governor of Florida, Rick Scott.

Unfortunately, that story didn't have a happy ending. Even after the governor got involved, Deandre Poole still kept his job. However, had Christians not risen up, the student who refused to stomp on Jesus would have been the one punished while the professor would have paid no price at all. Moreover, you can be sure there won't be any more Jesus stomping going on in the classrooms at Florida Atlantic University any time soon.

(7) U.S. Supreme Court Declines to Resolve Public Schools’ Double Standard in Promoting Islam while Disparaging Christianity. 
ANN ARBOR, MI—The U.S. Supreme Court today declined to review the case of Caleigh Wood, a Christian eleventh-grade public high school student in Maryland who, despite threats of receiving a failing grade, refused to deny her faith by making a written profession of the Muslim conversion prayer known as the Shahada—“There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

She was also forced to view a series of pro-Islamic PowerPoint slides, including one that stated, “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.” The high school’s content specialist, Jack Tuttle, testified that use of such comparative statement was inappropriate and that he would have advised the teacher not to use it.

 Nevertheless, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals opined that the teaching did not violate the Establishment Clause.

CAN WE IMAGINE WHAT THE SCOTUS WOULD HAVE RULED HAD ANY MUSLIM BEEN FORCED TO WRITE OR REPEAT A CHRISTIAN PRAYER?
MAINSTREAM MEDIA WOULD HAVE GONE BALLISTIC AS WELL. 

(8) Army Ranger Chaplain Punished for Being Christian

A chaplain in Georgia is under fire for talking about his Christian beliefs in an Army suicide prevention training session.

On Nov. 20, Army Chaplain Joesph Lawhorn spoke about his struggles with depression and how he used the Bible to overcome the problem.

One of the soldiers at the seminar complained to an atheist group about the presentation.

(9) Michigan’s Systematic Inquisition of Parents Over Religious Objection to Vaccines Leads to Federal Lawsuit. 
TMLC brought the law suit on behalf of Tara Nikolao, a devout Catholic, registered nurse, and mother of four. Mrs. Nikolao objects to vaccines manufactured from aborted fetal cells and other vaccines on religious grounds. Her lawsuit claims that government employees violate the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses of the First Amendment, the religious protections in Michigan’s Constitution, and a Michigan statute when they subject parents to detailed interrogation about their religious beliefs.

The Michigan legislature enacted a statute in 1978 to protect the right of parents to exempt their children from vaccinations because of religious beliefs. For nearly 40 years, this mandatory religious exemption remained unchanged. All that parents had to do was state in writing that they cannot comply with the vaccination requirements because of their religious beliefs. Mrs. Nikolao exercised her statutory right to a religious exemption approximately 10 times before a new rule was implemented in December 2014. This new administrative rule requires parents to drive to local health departments, submit to a religious inquisition, and explain their religious beliefs to local health department employees in order to receive a waiver.

In October 2015, in an effort to comply with the new rule, Mrs. Nikolao took time off work, packed her four children into the car, and drove approximately an hour to the Wayne County Health Department office in an attempt to obtain a religious exemption. Upon her arrival, two health department employees bullied and harassed Mrs. Nikolao because of her religious beliefs.

When Mrs. Nikolao explained that she had a religious objection to vaccines, the health department employees demanded that Mrs. Nikolao explain her actual reason for objecting. Despite Mrs. Nikolao’s repeated insistence in the face of berating questions from State employees that her personal religious beliefs did not allow her to vaccinate her children—a belief that the Michigan legislature enacted a statute to protect,—the health department employees would not accept her religious objection and insisted that no religions object to vaccines.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (“MDHHS”) instructs local health department employees to implement this religious examination and inculcation by providing county employees with a document to “teach” parents their faith. The document entitled “Religion” is used as a tool by county health departments to coerce and trick parents with religious objections to vaccines into vaccinating their children.

[See the Document Here]

Kate Oliveri, TMLC attorney handling the case commented: “The new rule allows government employees to take on the role of priests and pastors, molding religious beliefs to further the State’s agenda. This is antithetical to the religious protections found in the Federal and Michigan constitutions and the religious protections enacted by the Michigan legislature.”

In Mrs. Nikolao’s case, health department employees used the MDHHS Religion document, which falsely attributes a quote to Pope Benedict XVI, in an attempt to coerce her into violating her beliefs by vaccinating her children.

The documents claims that, according to Pope Benedict XVI, “parents who chose not to give vaccines derived from [aborted fetal] cells would be in ‘more proximate cooperation with evil’ than those who gave their children the vaccines in question because of the life-saving nature of vaccines.”

Pope Benedict never made such a statement.
 Moral Reflections, the Vatican document produced on vaccines containing the cells of aborted children by the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life, also did not contain any condemnation of parents who refuse to vaccinate, especially not the MDHHS characterization of parents who do not vaccinate their children as “evil.”

[Read Moral Reflections Here]

THE CURRENT GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN IS A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR ABORTION, SAYING RECENTLY THAT ABORTION CLINICS MUST REMAIN OPEN AS "ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES".

CHURCHES HAD TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS

SURELY SHE HOLDS TO THE RALLYING CRY OF PRO-ABORTIONISTS WHO SAY THAT A WOMAN'S BODY IS HER OWN AND THAT WOMEN HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE AN ABORTION, HAVE A RIGHT TO REMOVE A FETUS FROM THEIR BODIES, WITHOUT ANY RIGHT OF A LIVING FETUS OR RIGHT OF A FATHER OF THE CHILD TO STOP SAID REMOVAL.

WHAT ABOUT A PERSON'S RIGHT TO REJECT ANYTHING BEING PLACED INTO THEIR BODIES OR THE BODIES OF THEIR CHILDREN?


IS "MY BODY, MY DECISION" JUST FOR PRO-ABORTIONISTS?
IF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF A VIABLE FETUS DON'T COME INTO PLAY WHEN A WOMAN MAKES A CHOICE TO DISPOSE OF ONE, WHY THE OUTRAGE WHEN A PARENT MAKES A DECISION TO NOT INTRODUCE FOREIGN SUBSTANCES/DRUGS INTO THEMSELVES OR THEIR OWN CHILD WHOM THEY CHOSE TO GIVE BIRTH TO?

IF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, CONCERN FOR SAFETY, COMMON SENSE, OR RESEARCH CAUSES A PARENT TO REFUSE VACCINES, HOW DARE A PRO-ABORTIONIST PROTEST? 

The U. S. Supreme Court through a series of decisions starting in the 1960s, has incrementally engineered the de-Christianization of our nation while most Christians are sitting silently in the pews.

APRIL 28 2016
Several senators have introduced a bill that would deem "all efforts to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity an 'unfair or deceptive act or practice' under the Federal Trade Commission Act."

That's right. It would be illegal — a form of "medical malpractice" — to counsel someone struggling with same-sex attraction or gender identify confusion, but it would be perfectly legal to encourage someone to embrace those attractions or act on that confusion.

Already in 2009, conservative journalist Matthew Cullinan Hoffman wryly observed:

"A man goes to a psychologist with a problem. "Doctor," he says, "I'm suffering terribly. I feel like a woman trapped inside the body of a man. I want to become a woman."

The psychologist responds: "No problem. We can discuss this idea for a couple of years, and if you're still sure you want to be a woman, we can have a surgeon remove your penis, give you hormones for breast enlargement and make other changes to your body. Problem solved."

Gratified, the first patient leaves, followed by a second. "Doctor," he says, "I feel terrible. I'm a man but I feel attracted to other men. I want to change my sexual preference. I want to become heterosexual."

The psychologist responds: "Oh no, absolutely not! That would be unethical. Sexual orientation is an immutable characteristic!"


Student Religious Expression: Individual student expression may not be suppressed simply because it is religious. For example, the Division filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of a group of Massachusetts high school students who were suspended for handing out candy canes to other students with religious messages attached.

The court agreed that the students' First Amendment rights had been violated.

In another case, a group of Muslim high school students in Texas alleged that while other student groups had been allowed to meet during lunch periods, their request for space to kneel and say midday prayers during lunch period was denied.
The Division reached a settlement agreement with the school in May 2007 allowing students to meet in a designated space in a common area outside of the cafeteria.


Religious Dress: Schools may not discriminate against students who wear religious clothes or head coverings. In Hearn and United States v. Muskogee Public School District, the Civil Rights Division intervened in the case of a Muslim girl who was told that she could not wear a headscarf required by her faith to school. The Civil Rights Division's suit was based on the fact that the school was enforcing its uniform policy in an inconsistent manner. The case was settled by consent decree in May 2004.


Religious Holidays: The Civil Rights Division filed a brief in the case of a boy in Indiana who was threatened with suspension, and his mother threatened with child neglect, when he missed several days of school for religious holidays. The school permitted only one excused absence per year for religious holidays, even though more days were permitted for secular reasons including attending the state fair and serving as a page in the state legislature. The case was settled.

If you believe your educational rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the Civil Rights Division's Educational Opportunities Section.


Religious Liberty Protection Kit for Students and Teachers
25 Surprising Facts About Religious Rights in Public Schools 

1. Students and educators do have First Amendment religious rights inside public schools.

2. Students can speak about their faith even when teachers must be neutral.

3. Schools cannot treat religious activity differently than other activity.

4. Students can pray during lunch, recess, or other designated free time.

5. Students can pray silently during a school’s moment of silence.

6. Students can read the Bible or other religious materials at school.

7. Students can share their faith with fellow students.

8. Schools can acknowledge religion.

9. Students can pray, either individually or as a group, at school athletic competitions, student assemblies, or other extracurricular activities when school officials are not involved.

10. In many cases, a school district can allow studentled prayer before an athletic competition (such as a football game), a student assembly, or other extracurricular event as part of the school program.

11. Students can pray at graduation ceremonies or include religious content in their speeches.

12. A public school can refer to “Christmas” and have a “Christmas party” if the intent is not to advance Christianity.

13. A public school can display Christmas decorations if the intent is to teach and not part of a religious exercise.

14. A public school can include religious Christmas music, art, or drama in a school play or performance if it is used to teach history or cultural heritage and not advance a particular religion.
15. Students can give out Christmas gifts with religious messages at school parties.

16. Students can incorporate their faith or religion in classroom and homework assignments under normal and appropriate circumstances.

17. A public school district cannot be hostile toward religious beliefs.

18. Teachers and other public school employees can discuss religion with students under many conditions.

19. Teachers and other public school employees can discuss religion with other teachers or other school employees.

20. A public school or a teacher cannot limit religious speech by students unless they limit other speech.

21. Students can have a religious club at their school.

22. Religious student groups can meet on campus whenever other non-curricular clubs can meet.

23. Religious clubs can use the same school resources available to non-religious clubs (e.g., school facilities, bulletin boards, public address system) to promote or facilitate club events.

24. In most states, teachers or other public school employees may attend a religious student group’s meetings in a supervisory role.

25. Members of religious student clubs can distribute flyers about meetings and events just like non-religious clubs.


The First Amendment prohibits a school district and its employees from being hostile toward religious beliefs and expression.

The proper role of a school district is to remain neutral and accommodating toward private religious beliefs. Unlike the government, students may promote specific religious beliefs or practices.

The U.S. Supreme Court stated that “nothing in the Constitution as interpreted by this Court prohibits any public school student from voluntarily praying at ANY time before, during, or after the school day.” 
Can students verbally share their faith with fellow students?

Yes, if a school allows students to freely converse with each other about various topics during non-instructional time, then students can also share their faith verbally with fellow students



KNOW YOUR "INALIENABLE RIGHTS", AMERICA, TEACH THEM TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND NEVER GIVE THEM UP.

STAND FOR YOUR FAITH, YOUR BELIEFS; NEVER BOW TO OTHERS WHO CONDEMN THEM OR WHO DISAGREE THAT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO THEM.

COVID-19 LOCKDOWN IS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. WAKE UP!

This was passed along from Bob B. and also credit to Kevin Sorbo.

For me…

When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.


When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get stage make-up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, IT IS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken!
Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep. 


We have 830,053 total CV-19 cases in America, according to the WHO, 42,311 deaths in a national population of 340,000,000 (many of the deaths were assigned to CV-19 but the virus was not the primary cause as even Dr. Birx said.) .

That’s horrible but it's less than 0.015% of America's population.

The 2017-2018 seasonal flu killed 80,000.

CDC ESTIMATED 45 million people were sick with influenza in 2017-2018, with 21 million people going to a health care provider, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths from influenza (Table 1).

[NOTE: OTHER SITES, EVEN CDC SITES, GIVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF DEATHS, POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE TIME THEY WERE WRITTEN.]

2017-18: 11 million cases of influenza in children, 28 million cases of influenza in working age adults (aged 18-64 years), and 6 million cases in adults aged 65 years and older.

WHY WASN'T CONGRESS, THE CDC, THE WHO DOING MORE TO PROTECT THE YOUNGER POPULATION AND THE REST OF US THEN???

The number of cases of influenza-associated illness that occurred during 2017-2018 was the highest since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when an estimated 60 million people were sick with influenza.

More than 46,000 hospitalizations occurred in children (aged < 18 years). 

THERE WAS NO LOCKDOWN, SCHOOLS WERE NOT REQUIRED TO CLOSE THEN.
WHY WASN'T IT ABOUT OUR HEALTH THEN? 

Also, out of 61 million kids under 15, THREE (3) have died of CV-19, and 20 deaths are recorded for those under 25-years-old.

In 2017-2018, we lost almost 200 children to seasonal flu, and have lost almost that number to flu this year.

BUT NO MANDATORY NATIONWIDE SCHOOL CLOSING THEN NOR DURING THE SWINE FLU PANDEMIC OF 2009-2010..

CV-19 DOES NOT TARGET THE YOUNG LIKE INFLUENZA TARGETS THE YOUNG.


Globally we have 2,626,321 confirmed cases (including 81,529 NEW ones) and 181,938 deaths (including 6,260 NEW ones) in a world population of 7.8 BILLION.


0.000336% OF THE WORLD HAS/HAD CV-19.
0.0693% OF THE INFECTED HAVE DIED. 

The "common flu" infects 5–15% of the global population (340 million – 1.6 billion) EACH and kills 290,000 – 650,000 people EVERY year, according to the World Health Organization.

THERE ARE VACCINES FOR FLU, BUT THE INFECTIONS AND DEATHS CONTINUE, EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

WHY DON'T WE YET HAVE A SAFE, MORE EFFECTIVE  VACCINE THAT HAS A BETTER PROTECTION RATE TO PREVENT THE DEADLY GLOBAL KILLER INFLUENZA?

IF IT'S ABOUT OUR HEALTH, WHY ISN'T MORE DONE TO PROTECT THE GREATER NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM INFLUENZA?

20% OF COMMON COLDS ARE CAUSED BY CORONAVIRUSES. 


THE SPANISH FLU, AN  H1N1 FLU OF 1918, IS NOW ESTIMATED TO HAVE INFECTED 500 MILLION AND KILLED AS MANY AS 100 MILLION PEOPLE GLOBALLY AND IS IN THE SAME VIRUS FAMILY AS SWINE FLU AND THIS SEASONS H1N1, TYPE A FLU. 

THAT CDC PDF DOCUMENT ASKS,
 "Why Did the 1918 Virus Kill So Many Healthy Young Adults?"

SARS HAS A DEATH RATE OF 9.6% TO 11% AND MERS HAS A DEATH RATE OF 34.3% TO 39%% AND BOTH ARE CORONAVIRUSES LIKE CV-19.

BUT DURING THE OUTBREAKS/ PANDEMICS OF THOSE, DID WE GO INTO LOCKDOWN? 
NO.

THE U.S. HAD CASES OF BOTH MERS AND SARS.

WERE WE MANDATED TO COME TO A NATIONAL STANDSTILL? 
NO.

WHY NOT THEN; WHY NOT IN THE 2002-2003, 2009-2010 PANDEMICS, OR DURING THE HISTORICALLY LETHAL 2017-2018 FLU SEASON... AND WHY NOW?


IS IT ABOUT OUR HEALTH?

IS IT REALLY ABUT OUR HEALTH?

NO, IT IS NOT.

COVID-19 HYPE EXPOSED BY STANFORD/OTHER DOCTORS & CONGRESSMEN

FLAWED CDC TESTS FOR COVID-19:
'It is unclear why quality control did not detect this issue': Early CDC tests couldn't distinguish between the coronavirus and water.
The CDC botched its early development of coronavirus test kits, which could not differentiate between the novel coronavirus and lab-grade water, according to a government email obtained by The Wall Street Journal."

AS OF TODAY, APRIL 18, 2020, WHO REPORTS 2,164,111 CONFIRMED CASES IN A WORLD OF ALMOST 8 BILLION PEOPLE.

WHO REPORTS 146,198 DEATHS, WORLDWIDE (COMPARED TO 80,000 DEATHS FROM INFLUENZA IN THE U.S. ALONE IN 2017-2018).

WHO REPORTS 665,330 CASES IN THE U.S. AND 30,384 DEATHS HERE, FEWER CASES BY MILLIONS AND FEWER DEATHS THAN WE'VE HAD SO FAR THIS SEASON FROM INFLUENZA, AND OUR FLU SEASON IS STILL ONGOING. 


Doctors, congressmen, other medical professionals are starting to speak out with the truth about COVID-19.

When the WHO/CDC directed physicians to count ALL/ANY deaths as COVID-19 deaths as long as the deceased had a positive test for the new virus, several in the medical community finally began to rebel.

They know that this skews the numbers to a false high. 

A patient admitted in end-stage renal failure, or in final days of terminal cancer, or with a massive coronary who tests positive for the new coronavirus is ruled a death BY Covid-19, not WITH, but BY.

This is false, the data is designed to keep the fear alive, the economy tanking, the obedience of the masses assured as people begin to realize that our normal flu season, every year, infects millions, sends hundreds of thousands to hospital, kills more Americans and certainly more worldwide than the new virus has, to date, AND THAT INFLUENZA KILLS MANY MORE CHILDREN THAT COVID-19.

And, unlike the new virus, the flu kills children by the hundreds during seasonal flu outbreaks.

ABOVE: Montana physician Dr. Annie Bukacek discusses how COVID 19 death certificates are being manipulated.“Stephen Schwartz, national director of the division of vital statistics, says in answer to the question as stated in the organization’s COVID-19 alert, “Should COVID-19 be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?”
Check out his answer,

“COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for ALL decedents where the disease caused or is ASSUMED to have caused or CONTRIBUTED to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc.” …

“If a patient is positive for COVID-19 and dies from another cause such as pneumococcal sepsis, it may be considered accurate to say that person died with COVID-19 not from COVID-19. Yet the CDC guideline lists this case as one more COVID-19 death and they go to the next questionable death, they label that as COVID-19 and it goes on and on. You could see how these statistics have been made to look scary when it is so easy to add false numbers to the official database. Those false numbers are sanctioned by the CDC as of their memo yesterday, April 4th. …”

“The real number of COVID-19 deaths are not what most people are told and what they then think. How many people actually died from COVID-19 is anyone’s guess. …”

“Based on inaccurate, incomplete data, people are being terrorized by fear-mongers into relinquishing freedoms.”  -Dr. Annie Bukacek

ABOVE: A STATE SENATOR AND ALSO A PHYSICIAN FROM MINNESOTA, SCOTT JENSEN COULD NOT ALLOW THE NEW MANDATE FOR REPORTING COVID-19 DEATHS TO GO UNCHALLENGED. 


He rejected the conclusions being drawn by far right voices that over-hyping the COVID-19 crisis is a plot to destroy the reelection chances of President Donald Trump. “In medicine we don’t think that way,” he said.

On a previous television appearance on “Point of View” with Chris Berg, a local Fargo, N.D. news and opinion program, Jensen sketched a darker hypothesis.

When Berg asked Jensen why health officials would “skew” death figures, he responded.

“Well, fear is a great way to control people.” Asked to elaborate, he told the Reformer, “The fear with COVID-19 has been ratcheted unbelievably high. There have been a lot of figures in government who are trying to frighten people and, in that way, get them to do what they want.”


STANFORD DOCTORS ARE ALSO WARNING THAT THE DATA IS INSUFFICIENT.Dr. John Ioannidis of Stanford University explained why the estimates of COVID-19's death rate may be too high. 

Ioannidis lifts the lid on our worrying lack of reliable data.

"We have gone into a complete panic state", says Dr. Ioannidis, describing the perfect storm that led Italy into crisis. The esteemed professor believes an exaggeration of the virus' mortality rate could lead the world to a fatal scenario: a lockdown lasting up to 18 months. "Then it is not just millions of lives at stake SARS-CoV-2, but billions, if we have to protract that for so long".

"We're likely overreacting to COVID and dooming ourselves to a horrible future."

Read his thoughts in writing here: https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a...

Go here for the full-length interview with Dr John: https://youtu.be/d6MZy-2fcBw
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University. He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a senior fellow at both the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute.

His March 24, 2020, article in the Wall Street Journal questions the premise that “coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines.”

In the article he suggests that “there’s little evidence to confirm that premise—and projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high.”

In this edition of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson we asked Dr. Bhattacharya to defend that statement and describe to us how he arrived at this conclusion.

We get into the details of his research, which used data collected from hotspots around the world and his background as a doctor, a medical researcher, and an economist.

It’s not popular right now to question conventional wisdom on sheltering in place, but Dr. Bhattacharya makes a strong case for challenging it, based in economics and science.

"The northeastern Italian town of Vò, near the provincial capital of Padua. On March 6, all 3,300 people of Vò were tested, and 90 were positive, a prevalence of 2.7%.

Applying that prevalence to the whole province (population 955,000), which had 198 reported cases, suggests there were actually 26,000 infections at that time. That’s more than 130-fold the number of actual reported cases. Since Italy’s case fatality rate of 8% is estimated using the confirmed cases, the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%."


By March, doctors reported that they still hadn't received enough tests to diagnose potential cases.

Matthew McCarthy, a hospitalist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, told CNBC on March 2 that the revised CDC tests hadn't arrived at his hospital.

"I'm here to tell you right now — at one of the busiest hospitals in the country, I don't have it at my fingertips," he said. "I still have to call the Department of Health. I still have to make my case, plead, to test people."

March 31, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rick Scott released the below statement calling on Congress to hold a hearing and investigate the World Health Organization’s (WHO) role in helping Communist China cover up information regarding the threat of the Coronavirus. In February, Senator Scott called on the WHO to do its own in-depth analysis on the extent of the Coronavirus – which they haven’t done. Senator Scott is gravely concerned about China’s efforts to isolate Taiwan when it comes global health and the WHO’s continued refusal to include Taiwan in its membership, meetings, and information, especially in the face of the Coronavirus. Senator Scott has also cosponsored legislation to increase the United States’ support of Taiwan’s efforts to join the WHO.

Senator Scott said, “The mission of the WHO is to get public health information to the world so every country can make the best decisions to keep their citizens safe. When it comes to Coronavirus, the WHO failed. They need to be held accountable for their role in promoting misinformation and helping Communist China cover up a global pandemic.


CALLING AN APPLE AN ORANGE.. WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City, the hardest hit U.S. city in the coronavirus pandemic, revised its official COVID-19 death toll sharply higher to more than 10,000 on Tuesday, to include victims presumed to have perished from the lung disease but never tested.

"...VICTIMS" (????)...OF WHAT?

THE FLU?

PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS?

STROKE OR HEART ATTACK?

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS?
VICTIMS OF WHAT?

THEY WERE NEVER TESTED FOR COVID-19 BY EITHER CDC's INACCURATE SWAB TESTS OR BY AUTOPSY!
The city’s revised count, 10,367 in all, raised the number of coronavirus deaths nationwide to more than 28,300. 

"New York City’s Health Department said it will now also count ANY fatality deemed a 'PROBABLE' coronavirus death, defined as a victim whose death certificate lists as a cause of death ‘COVID-19’ or an equivalent.”

THIS IS BEING DONE SIMPLY TO DRIVE NUMBERS UP AND KEEP THAT FEAR FACTOR RAGING.

“There have been blunders, and there could be an underlying catastrophe that we don’t know about,” says epidemiologist Michael Mina, who helps run a microbiology testing lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “It’s been very complicated and confusing for everyone with almost no clarity being provided by the CDC. There’s no good explanation for what’s going on here.”

The U.S. CDC decided to make its own coronavirus test, but the process was plagued by errors and delays. Here's a timeline of what went wrong.

-- The US is significantly behind on testing coronavirus patients compared to countries like South Korea and China.

-- Delays in US testing can be attributed, in part, to the CDC's decision to develop its own test, which turned out to be faulty.

-- The US also restricted testing criteria so that not everyone with symptoms of the virus was eligible to be tested.

-- The US response to the coronavirus outbreak has been plagued by testing debacles and delayed reports of local cases.
-- Around 80% of coronavirus cases are believed to be mild, and some patients may never show symptoms.

-- In states with major outbreak like Washington and New York, local hospitals have reported a shortage of test kits to identify cases. As of March 8, the CDC had only conducted around 1,700 tests, compared to nearly 200,000 in South Korea.

-- On February 6, WHO reported that it was shipping about 250,000 tests to 159 laboratories around the world.
CDC DECLINED THE TESTS!

The CDC shipped just 90 test kits to state public health labs on February 6 and 7.

90.A problem with one ingredient in the US tests caused more than half of state labs to receive inconclusive results. 

William Schaffner, a CDC adviser and infectious-disease specialist at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, told Business Insider:

"The notion of accepting a test developed by someone else I think was a bit alien," Schaffner said. "There may have been other considerations of which I'm not aware, but I'm sure that pride was one of them: 'We know how to do this, thank you very much. We'll develop our own.'"

By the end of February, only three of the nation's more than 100 public-health labs had verified the CDC test for use.

"At first, CDC was the only place where testing could be performed," Richard Martinello, an associate professor of infectious disease at the Yale School of Medicine, told Business Insider. "For a country of our size, when you only have a single site doing that, it limits the resources available for testing."
Health experts said the CDC glitch was unprecedented.
"It ought to be foolproof. As a friend of mine said, it ought to be a gorilla test — even a gorilla can run it," CDC's own adviser and infectious-disease specialist William Schaffner said.

CDC WILL NOT DO A BETTER TEST, A BLOOD TEST.
WHY NOT? 
Meanwhile, China developed a blood test that looked for specific antibodies produced by the body to fend off the virus.

The test worked even for patients in recovery, whereas PCR tests (the kind developed in the US) can only diagnose patients when they're ill.

Christian Drosten, a researcher at the German Center for Infection Research who developed one of the first COVID-19 tests, told Business Insider that it's helpful for countries to develop multiple tests in case one laboratory test turns out to be faulty.

"If we are in doubt about our test, or if there is something wrong with the test targets, the virus mutates or something, we could still switch to the test that another lab uses," Drosten said. "These are all in the public domain, and it's quite easy to switch."

WHY DIDN'T, WHY WON'T THE CDC SWITCH?
TOO FEW POSITIVES? 


AS TESTING EXPANDS, THEY NEED DEATHS TO INCREASE OR ELSE PEOPLE MAY SEE THAT COVID-19 HAS FEWER CASES, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS THAN OUR NORMAL FLU SEASON AND STOP LIVING IN TERROR.


The CDC's initial criteria called for testing only symptomatic patients with a travel history to China or those who may have had contact with a lab-confirmed coronavirus patient.

That meant the country's first case involving community spread, a patient in California, went untested for multiple days at two hospitals.

The CDC eventually revised its criteria on February 27 to include patients with conditions so severe that they required hospitalization. But some patients with mild symptoms, including those who recently traveled to countries with high case totals like Italy or Iran, still may not get tested right away.

BECAUSE THE MORE WHO TEST POSITIVE BUT DO NOT DIE FROM THE NEW VIRUS, THE BETTER THINGS LOOK AND THE LESS LIKELY PEOPLE ARE TO PANIC AND AGREE TO LOCKDOWNS, JOB LOSSES, A CRASHING ECONOMY? 

The FDA began allowing academic hospital labs to develop and use their own coronavirus tests on February 29.

CDC REFUSED TO REPORT THESE TEST RESULTS ON THE CDC WEBSITE, BECAUSE CDC SAID THE FDA-APPROVED TESTS WERE 'UNVERIFIABLE'.
IMAGINE THAT! 

THIS, AFTER THEIR OWN TESTS WERE KNOWN TO BE AND ADMITTED TO BE FAULTY AND AFTER THEIR OWN LAB IN ATLANTA WAS FOUND TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH COVID-19, MAKING FALSE POSITIVES LIKELY.U.S. coronavirus testing stalled for six weeks. 

A SMALL GERMAN LAB MADE 1.4 MILLION TESTS DURING THAT TIME!

HOW CONVENIENT FOR CDC, RIGHT?  


IN A NATION OF 340 MILLION PEOPLE, 665,330 AMERICANS HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE NEW VIRUS AND 30,384 HAVE DIED, BUT MAYBE NOT FROM THE VIRUS ITSELF.  .

TO DIE STRICTLY BECAUSE OF COVID-19 IS DIFFERENT THAN DYING WITH MERELY A POSITIVE TEST FOR THE DISEASE. 

THIS PAST FLU SEASON, CDC 'ESTIMATED' 60 MILLION INFLUENZA CASES, OVER 400,000 HOSPITALIZATIONS, 24,000 TO 62,000 DEATHS, INCLUDING ALMOST 170 CHILDREN.

IN 2017-2018, A RECORD 80,000 AMERICANS DIES OF FLU.

WE'RE STILL SEEING DEATHS FROM INFLUENZA AS FLU IS STILL MOSTLY "MODERATE TO WIDESPREAD" ACROSS MOST OF AMERICA.

MEANWHILE, WE'RE ALLOWING THE 'GOVERNMENT', STATE AND FEDERAL, TO DO THINGS THAT WE NEVER IMAGINED TO ALLOW BEFORE...GIVING UP MORE AND MORE OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS EACH DAY, LIKE MINDLESS UNQUESTIONING SHEEP, WILLINGLY BECOMING PRISONERS OF FEAR.


Greg. G Wolff, an Epidemiologist with the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch recently published a study in the Journal Vaccine titled, "Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017–2018 influenza season".

The study examined virus interference in a Department of Defense population, this refers to the increased risk of other respiratory viruses as a result of, in this case, the influenza vaccine.

The study found that virus interference varied among vaccinated individuals for individual respiratory viruses, and found that for coronavirus in particular, in this study, those who had been vaccinated with the flu vaccine had a 36 percent higher risk of contracting it

The study compared the vaccination status of more than two thousand people with non-influenza respiratory viruses to more than three thousand people with pan-negative results. The vaccination status of more than three thousand cases of influenza were compared to three different control groups, and appropriate adjustments were made.

The study points out that recently published studies have “described the phenomenon of vaccine-associated virus interference; that is, vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory viruses because they do not receive the non-specific immunity associated with natural infection.” It goes on to emphasize that

“There has been limited evidence that the influenza vaccine may actually be associated with the virus interference process. Other studies have found no association between influenza vaccination and increased respiratory virus risk.”

MEANWHILE, THE GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE IMPSING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER REGULATIONS ON ALL OF US. 

There's a video of Dr. Mike Ryan, the WHO's Emergencies Program director, saying that they: "May have to enter homes and remove family members."

WOULD YOU ALLOW THEM TO REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN, SPOUSE? 

 THEY REMOVED THE 4-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER FROM THE HOME OF AN EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR IN FLORIDA, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE WOMAN WAS TREATING COVID-19 PATIENTS?

THAT'S LIKE THE OHIO NURSE, A SINGLE MOM WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO FIGHT IN COURT TO GET HER DAUGHTER BACK?

Tiffany DeMarcus, a nurse in Ohio, says the father of her child won’t return their young daughter because Tiffany is a nurse and has been exposed to COVID-19, WDTN reported.


LIKE THE CALIFORNIA DOCTOR MOM WHO'S LOST TWO DAUGHTERS BECAUSE SHE'S A DOCTOR TREATING COVID-19 PATIENTS?

Lisa Henning Low, an emergency room doctor in California, went to pick up her 7- and 10-year-old daughters from her ex-husband and ended up calling police after she says he pulled a gun and refused to let her take her children, KTVU reported. ​​

When police arrived, her husband told officers he was worried Low was infecting their daughters because of her job in an emergency room, KTVU reported. ​​

In Franklin County, Ohio, Domestic Court Judge Dana Preisse said parents have to have a court order to deviate from agreements, WDTN reported.

“You are to follow whatever shared parenting or custody plan that you have until there is another court order and to punish these folks because they are saving lives and are out there on the front line, you know, it’s just not right,” she told the outlet.

Brian Putnam, a family law attorney in Oklahoma City, said it’s hard to wrap his mind around working in the medical field being a legitimate reason to remove a parent’s children, KFOR reported.

“Oklahoma has an enormous medical community so if you play that out to its logical conclusion, everybody in the medical field would be at risk of losing their kids in a custody battle just because they work in a medical facility,” Putnam told the outlet.


In the disturbing video, Dr. Mike Ryan, the head of the World Health Organization's Emergencies Program, describes the W.H.O's egregiously invasive recommendation that health authorities may come into people's homes and take those suspected to be infected by COVID-19 to be quarantined, tested and presumably medicated against their will.

Clearly what the W.H.O. is proposing, modeled after China's approach, is a violation of basic civil and human rights.While this sounds outrageous and like a bad science fiction film, it is even more outrageous that hundreds of millions of people around the world are standing down in full compliance with whatever the authorities say should happen next.

The reality is that blind faith and compliance with the WHO's and CDC's "plan-demic" may very well result in the nightmarish scenario described by Dr. Ryan above.

The "frog" is already boiling.

Social distancing has already been unquestionably accepted the world over despite a significant body of evidence showing it can do great harm: 13 Studies Reveal How Social Distancing (i.e. Social Isolation) Can Increase Mortality. The reality is that independent epidemiological research on social distancing effectively reducing contagion-based morbidity and mortality is equivocal at best.

But the heat is slowly being turned up. A practice now being mandated in cities around the United States (and world), is the wearing of face masks.

The report FACE IT: The Evidence Proving the Effectiveness of Community Mask Wearing Doesn't Exist; The WHO Agrees sheds light on the reality that the WHO itself warns against the practice because it can make the problem worse. And so, if the practice does not prove "live saving" results as widely claimed, then it is more accurate to view it as an almost cult-like fetish or muzzle, demonstrating to the world one's unquestioning compliance in a form of full spectrum dominance this world has never before seen.

If we continue to give up our rights (even shaming or threatening those around us who don't comply), without question, it is unlikely there will be resistance when other agendas are unleashed, such as a Chinese-style social credit system is rolled out, mandatory vaccination, a digital ID tied to vaccination status, a 5G enabled real time surveillance network, a global governance system that will preempt the rights of individual nations, and many others.

All, ostensibly, to "save us from a virus," which truth be told, relative to the deaths from equally preventable causes such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and even seasonal flu, makes a cruel mockery of the actions taken thus far in the name of saving us from COVID."

CDC ESTIMATES AN EXPECTED YEARLY DEATH TOLL OF 34,000 TO 67,000 HAVE DIED AND WILL DIE DURING EACH YEAR'S FLU SEASON JUST IN THE U.S., IN THE U.S.'s NORMAL FLU SEASON.

GO LOOK AT THE DAILY UPDATE FOR APRIL 18, 2020.

LOOK AT THE POORER NATIONS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.

LOOK AT THE OIL RICH NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

LOOK HOW FEW ARE "INFECTED" IN HEAVILY POPULATED INDIA, BANGLADESH AND AFRICA.

LOOK AT CANADA, MEXICO, THE SOUTH AMERICAN NATIONS.

JUST LOOK.

THE NUMBERS DO NOT SHOW THAT THIS IS "ANOTHER SPANISH FLU".


FROM THE GUARDIAN, UK: "We’ve been here before, and the direst predictions have not come to pass.""He stood behind a crested lectern, flanked by two scientists like five-star generals. He declared a four-point emergency strategy, plus 27 pages of “sweeping new powers” to meet “a national challenge”. He would call up retired health workers and army units. It was his first dry run at war.

The prime minister’s attempt to inspire calm was ridiculous. If calm was needed, why was he there? Within hours, the stock market plunged. Hundreds of flights were cancelled, even to places untouched by the virus. Workers were told to stay at home. Holiday bookings collapsed. Even James Bond was ordered to take fright and scurry home.

When hysteria is rife, we might try some history. In 1997 we were told that bird flu could kill millions worldwide. Thankfully, it did not. In 1999 European Union scientists warned that BSE “could kill 500,000 people”. In total, 177 Britons died of vCJD.

The first Sars outbreak of 2003 was reported by as having “a 25% chance of killings tens of millions” and being “worse than Aids”. In 2006, another bout of bird flu was declared “the first pandemic of the 21st century”, the scares in 2003, 2004 and 2005 having failed to meet their body counts.

Then, in 2009, pigs replaced birds. The BBC announced that swine flu “could really explode”. The chief medical officer, Liam Donaldson, declared that “65,000 could die”.

He spent £560m on a Tamiflu and Relenza stockpile, which soon deteriorated. The Council of Europe’s health committee chairman described the hyping of the 2009 pandemic as “one of the great medical scandals of the century”.

These scenarios could have all come to pass of course – but they represent the direr end of the scale of predictions. Should public life really be conducted on a worst-case basis?

Both Hancock and Britain’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, have struggled to contain the alarm. The government’s action plan pointed out that the virus is highly contagious, but the “great majority” of those who develop symptoms will experience only a “mild-to-moderate but self-limiting illness”. Every medical expert I have heard on the subject is reasonable and calm.

Not so politicians and the media. They love playing to the gallery, as they do after every health scare and terrorist incident. Front pages are outrageous. No BBC presenter seems able to avoid the subject. Wash hands to save the nation. The BBC must be sponsored by the soap industry.

It is always hard to reflect balance and perspective in news. In this case, it is surely essential. It would help if Hancock was handed back the virus brief by Downing Street.

It would also help if events were not cancelled, factories and offices not closed, and holidays not abandoned.

Of course, I could be wrong. I could get ill. Millions could die. But it is also possible that come the spring, this crisis will have passed. So for the moment, if you see a virus story containing “might” “could” “possibly” or “worst-case scenario”, stop reading. You are being fed war talk. Let them wash your hands, but not your brain.

"Elevated influenza-like-illness is likely related to COVID-19."

"LIKELY"???

WHAT KIND OF SCIENCE OR STATISTICS IS "LIKELY"?

THEY'RE GRASPING AT EVERY STRAW TO FORCE THIS THING TO SPANISH FLU LEVELS.

BECAUSE THEY INTEND TO FORCE A VACCINE, A TERRIBLE, NIGHTMARISH VACCINE, THE LIKES OF WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER YEARS, THE MANY RECENT YEARS THAT "significantly more P&I deaths occurred than would be expected at that time of year"?

THERE WAS NO COVID-19 TO BLAME THOSE DEATHS ON UNTIL JANUARY, 2020.

IT WASN'T SARS-CoV2 IN  LATE 2019, IN 2018, IN 2017 WHEN WE HAD A REALLY BAD FLU SEASON, IN 2004-2005.

THEY'RE SO OBVIOUSLY USING FLU DEATHS TO UP THE NUMBERS FOR COVID-19 DEATHS..

THEY CREATED A PANIC LIKE THEY DID IN 2009-2010 ABOUT SWINE FLU, NAMED A(H1N1)pdm09, WHICH THEY BLAMED MANY DEATHS ON THEN, BUT THEY'VE DOWNPLAYED SWINE FLU EVER SINCE.

WHY?

 "CDC antigenically characterized 547 influenza viruses collected in the United States from September 29, 2019, to April 4, 2020.

We have observed an increase in the proportion of H1N1pdm09 viruses with this change late in the US season."

(THEY IDENTIFIED 212 OUT OF THE MEAGER TOTAL OF 547 SAMPLES, 547 FROM ALL AMERICA FOR AN ENTIRE FLU SEASON, UP TO APRIL 4.

DID HOSPITALS, HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, PRIVATE PRACTICES ALL STOP TESTING FOR FLU N APRIL 4th?

LOOKING AT THE CDC 'DIRECTIVE', THEY MAY HAVE! 

86 A(H3N2) viruses were antigenically characterized by FRA with ferret antisera, and 40 (46.5%) were antigenically similar to cell-propagated A/Kansas/14/2017-like reference viruses representing the A(H3N2) component for the 2019-20 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccines.

Influenza B Viruses

• B/Victoria: 201 B/Victoria lineage viruses, including viruses from both co-circulating sub-clades, were antigenically characterized by HI with ferret antisera, and 120 (59.7%) were antigenically similar to cell-propagated B/Colorado/06/2017-like reference viruses representing the B/Victoria component for the 2019-20 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccines.
• B/Yamagata: 48 B/Yamagata lineage viruses were antigenically characterized by HI with ferret antisera, and all 48 (100%) were antigenically similar to cell-propagated B/Phuket/3073/2013-like reference viruses representing the B/Yamagata component for the 2019-20 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccines.

A total of 556 additional viruses (211 A(H1N1)pdm09, 32 A(H3N2), and 313 B) collected in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin were analyzed for resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors by pyrosequencing assay.

Three (1.4%) of the 211 A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses tested had the H275Y amino acid substitution in the neuraminidase and showed highly reduced inhibition by oseltamivir and peramivir. No molecular markers associated with reduced or highly reduced inhibition by neuraminidase inhibitors were detected in A(H3N2) and type B viruses tested." 

HOW MANY PATIENTS WEREN'T EVEN OFFERED ANTIVIRAL MEDICATION AFTER THE CDC 'DIRECTED' THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO ASSUME ALL PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH FLU SYMPTOMS WERE PROBABLY COVID-19? 

Data cut off Jan. 2020 as COVID-19 CAME TO AMERICA.

THERE'S MORE, MUCH MORE, BUT LET THIS SUFFICE AS A BEGINNING TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS "CRISIS" WAS MANUFACTURED, MANIPULATED, JUST AS THE AFTERMATH EXCUSE-MAKING OF THE PANIC-DRIVEN SWINE FLU PANDEMIC OF 2009-2010 WAS.  

THE WORLD WAS NOT STOPPED IN ITS TRACKS THEN AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THIS TIME. 
THE WRLDWIDE ECONOMY HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BY THIS RECENT FIASCO, BUT NO ONE WILL TAKE WH/CDC TO TASK. 

THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. 

WHO AND CDC DON'T WANT WORLDWIDE RAGE THAT THEY BASED THEIR PREDICTIONS ON ESTIMATES, FAKERY, SKEWED DATA, FLAWED TESTS, CONTAMINATED LABS, ELEVATED DEATH COUNTS BY FRAUDULENT MEANS, ETC. 

THEY WILL ESCAPE THE WRATH OF NATIONS THIS TIME JUST AS THEY DID DURING THE SARS, MERS, H1N1 SCARES OF THE PAST.

THEY KNOW THE MASSES WILL ACCEPT THEIR LIES AND FAKE DATA, THEIR EXCUSES AND SO THEY JUST KEEP SPEWING IT. 

NEXT YEAR, OR MAYBE EVEN THIS YEAR, THEY WILL RAISE A NEW ALARM OVER A NEWER VIRUS/PANDEMIC AND THE MASSES WILL ONCE AGAIN PANIC AND SUBMIT. 

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AVERAGE CITIZENS EITHER HAVE NO MEANS TO FACT-CHECK THE SO-CALLED FACT-CHECKERS, THE DATA-PROVIDERS, THE TEST LABS, THE WHO OR CDC, OR WHEN THE GULLIBLE SHEEP JUST CONTINUOUSLY ACCEPT WHAT THE 'POWERS THAT BE' SAY. 

IT SEEMS WE JUST NEVER LEARN. 



HATS OFF AND SALUTES TO THOSE WHO ARE SAYING THEY WON'T ENFORCE UNCONSTITUTIONAL RULES DURING THIS MANIPULATED "PANDEMIC".
Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced on Friday his department will not be enforcing Wisconsin’s Draconian stay-at-home order.


FOUR COUNTY SHERIFFS WILL NOT ENFORCE MICHIGAN GOVERNOR'S RULES
STATEWIDE PROTESTS ERUPT.
ALABAMA ND TEXAS TO REOPEN THEIR ECONOMY/BUSINESSES.
