Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

Many Islamic immigrants from Northern Africa live in the South of France. While it is politically incorrect to criticize Islam and immigration in France, many recent Islamic attacks that have taken place over the last years in the country were made by immigrants or people with an immigrant background.
In 2016, Nice was already the scene of a horrific attack when a “local” Tunisian drove his truck into the crowds that were celebrating the national feast day of July 14 on the Promenade des Anglais. 86 people were killed and 458 wounded in an attack that was claimed by the Islamic State.
The anti-Catholic aim of Islamic attacks is not new either: On July 26, 2016, an elderly Catholic priest from a small parish near Rouen was killed by two Islamic assailants who slit his throat. An official process of recognition of Father Hamel as a martyr has been underway in the Catholic Church since 2017. Pope Francis had previously waived the normal waiting period of five years.
As the victims of today’s attack in Nice were seemingly killed out of hatred for the Faith (in odium fidei), their consideration as martyrs is being suggested on social media.
Many church bells rang at 3 p.m. all over the country in homage to the victims — but in Nice itself, all churches have been closed “until further notice.” On social media, some remarked that it would be better to close “all the mosques that have been identified as enablers of hatred.”
French President Emmanuel Macron went to the scene of the attack later on Thursday, where he announced that “between 3,000 and 7,000 military personnel will be in a position to protect all places of worship, in particular the churches, so that All Saints’ Day on November 1 may go ahead peacefully.
It will be the last day of public worship under new lockdown provisions that are expected to prohibit public worship starting November 2.
Macron also proclaimed, “We shall not give way,” in the same way that he warned, “They shall not pass,” shortly after a history professor was beheaded in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine a few weeks ago by a Chechen Muslim after having shown a pornographic drawing of Muhammad to his middle school class.
Several opposition politicians, including Marine Le Pen, have asked for an immediate stop to immigration in France.
Jean-Frédéric Poisson, presidential candidate for 2022 of the former Christian Democrat Party — now called VIA, “The people’s way” — tweeted: “Horrible. France under attack. Once again. Christians are recurring targets: it is the great replacement of civilization. I express my sorrow for the victims’ families, my anger regarding our limp elites, and my determination to vanquish conquering Islam.”
Bernard Antony, president and founder of the Christian and French defense league AGRIF, observed in a communiqué that Jihadi Islam’s “war of civilization” against France was motivated by its “tangled hatred against the Christian identity of France and against the secular Republic of freedom for blasphemy.”
The Muslim world is presently full of anger against France for its official support of the obscene caricatures of Muhammad and Turkish president Erdogan, and French authorities are fueling that hatred by identifying the French Republic with a “right to blaspheme”
At the same time, as observed by Antony, the country favors the admission of Turkey to the European Union.
The interministerial delegate for the fight against racism announced on Wednesday that a tweet by a Turkish minister calling the collaborators of Charlie Hebdo “bastards” and “sons of bitches” will be officially prosecuted by the French judiciary. “Blasphemies” against Charlie — which specializes in anti-Catholic caricatures too obscene to be described — are not allowed.
Meanwhile, the Bishop of Nice, André Marceau, deplored the attack, calling for a “spirit of pardon,” while the basilica’s rector, canon Philippe Asso, spoke of the “risk of seeing interreligious dialogue being called into question.”
As to the former Prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, he declared shortly after the murderous attack: “Whatever religion is being brought into question, people who are angry kill.”
He added that Muslims have the right to “kill millions of French people” for “the massacres of the past.” His tweet was removed by Twitter, but only at the insistence of the French minister, because, according to the social media representatives, “the tweet could be of interest to the public.”

OTTAWA, Ontario, October 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A controversial Canadian bill that would criminalize offering help to those wanting to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion passed its second reading yesterday in the House of Commons with Conservative Party support.
Yesterday, Members of Parliament (MPs) voted 306-7 in favor of a motion giving their approval in principle to Bill C-6, “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy).” The bill, which has been called a “disgraceful” attack on parental freedoms by family groups, was introduced by Justice Minister David Lametti on October 1.
Bill C-6 passed with the near-full support of Conservative Party MPs, with virtually all Liberal, New Democrat, Green, Bloc Quebecois, along with independent MPs voted in support of C-6 as well.
Voting against the bill was only a handful of Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP’s, those being Derek Sloan, Jeremy Patzer, Arnold Viersen, Bob Zimmer, Ted Falk, Tom Kmiec, and Damien Kurek.
Jack Fonseca, Political Operations Director for Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), blasted CPC MPs who voted in favor of the bill, calling it a “huge betrayal.”
“This was a huge betrayal of the socially conservative movement by every single one of the MPs who gave their assent to criminalizing parents, pastors, priests, and licensed professionals. Shame on them,” Fonseca told LifeSiteNews.
“What I wasn’t prepared for was to see all but seven Conservatives MPs vote in favor of criminalizing all public expression of biblical teaching on homosexuality, which is the true motive of Bill C-6.”
The controversial Bill C-6 will now head to the House of Commons Justice committee for review.
Bill C-6 is identical to Bill C-8, which was dropped, along with all other bills, when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued Parliament in August.
During debate of the bill Monday, Sloan raised concerns that it could even go as far as to potentially outlaw praying for homosexuals as a therapy attempt. In the past, Sloan remarked that Trudeau’s bill would legislate “child abuse.”
Many CPC MPs known as social conservatives voted yes to send the bill to the Justice Committee, including Cathay Wagantall and Nellie Shin.
Wagantall said she voted for the bill despite her misgivings in the hopes a committee would fix the “flaws” of the bill.
“With the best of faith, I vote in favour of sending this flawed bill to committee,” said Wagantall as she registered her virtual vote.
Notably, former CPC leader Andrew Scheer skipped the vote along with a handful of other CPC MPs.
Current CPC leader Erin O’Toole, who supports the bill, voted in favor of Bill C-6 but allowed his MP’s a free vote on the bill.
Two CPC MPs abstained from the vote, Tamara Jansen and Dane Lloyd.
Fonseca offered praise to the CPC MPs who voted against Bill C-6, noting that they all have a green-light rating from CLC, meaning they have solid pro-life and pro-family views.
“Congratulations to MP Derek Sloan, MP Arnold Viersen and the other five who voted with integrity and honor against this unconstitutional, fascistic legislation,” Fonseca told LifeSiteNews.
“But what on earth happened to the other Conservatives-in-name-only, including the many pro-life MPs who just gave their stamp of approval to a law that will result in mass child abuse?”
According to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, up to 98 percent of boys and 88 percent of girls resolve feelings of gender dysphoria and accept their biological sex after naturally going through puberty.
Bill C-6 defines “conversion therapy” as any “practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour.”
In total, Bill C-6 adds five offenses to the Criminal Code. If the bill becomes law would make it a crime punishable by up to five years for three offenses: causing a minor under age 18 to undergo conversion therapy; removing a minor from Canada to undergo conversion therapy abroad; causing a person to undergo conversion therapy against his will.

In an email sent to followers this morning, PAFE said that it is of “of URGENT importance” to contact your MP, especially if they voted for Bill C-6 because the bill “can criminalize parents who try to help their children who are questioning their gender.”

lifesitenews--2020-10-29--Unsealed sworn testimony shows Planned Parenthood lied to Congress about baby parts sales

IRVINE , California , October 29 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The Center for Medical Progress ( CMP ) released a fourth video today featuring unsealed video clips from Planned Parenthood leaders ’ sworn deposition testimony about the abortion company ’ s fetal tissue research programs – including details about the programs that directly contradict what Planned Parenthood told multiple Congressional investigations in 2015 and 2016 .
While under investigation by the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Select Investigative Panel , Planned Parenthood told Congress that its Houston , Texas affiliate , Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast ( PPGC ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tissue research program – only a “ placental ” tissue program – with researchers at University of Texas Medical Branch ( UTMB ) .
Based on this representation , Planned Parenthood produced less documentation of PPGC ’ s practices than other regional offices in California .
But when questioned under oath about the transactions with UTMB , Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast ’ s Vice President for Research , Melissa Farrell , testifies that her Planned Parenthood office in fact transferred the entire aborted fetus to UTMB , not just the placenta .
Farrell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , PPGC transferred the “ products of conception ” from the abortion – the fetus , placenta , and everything removed in the abortion – “ in its entirety.
” When asked , “ What specimens are then conveyed to UTMB under the contract ?
” Farrell replies , “ Products of conception , ” and when asked , “ Was it the entire products of conception from the abortion procedure ?
” she answers , “ That is my understanding , yes.

The State of Texas disqualified the Planned Parenthood network from the state Medicaid program based on CMP ’ s undercover footage showing PPGC willing to change abortion procedures to get more intact fetal specimens to transfer for valuable consideration , and the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the termination , finding that CMP ’ s undercover footage is authentic and accurate evidence that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast committed partial-birth abortions to sell fetal tissue .

PETITION UPDATE (9/26/2020):
With President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are closer than we have been in decades to seeing Roe vs. Wade overturned.
We now encourage the Senate to confirm Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Judge Barrett has a fantastic track recond on sanctity of life issues, has seven children, and is a devout believer. She is the perfect remedy for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's radical pro-abortionism.
Please READ the full story here: 'BREAKING: Trump nominates Catholic mom of 7 Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court'
And then, please SIGN this petition telling the High Court that it's now time to end the activist Roe vs. Wade judgment. Thank you!
__________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (6/29/2020):
In a decision which has imperiled more abortion-minded women, sentenced more preborn to death, and upset pro-lifers across the nation,the United States Supreme Court decided 5-4 to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, with Chief Justice John Roberts reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law.
Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which held that the Louisiana law was unconstitutional for the simple fact that it was “almost word-for-word identical” to the Texas one the court already struck down in 2016.
In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that he had “joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.”
We call on the Supreme Court to stop supporting the culture of death and overturn Roe vs Wade, now.
PETITION UPDATE (1/20/2020):
Hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C., this coming Friday, January 24th, for the March for Life. They will be praying for an end to Roe vs Wade, as the Supreme Court will hear a crucial, abortion-related case later this year in March. United our voices can change the course of history. Sign this petition TODAY! (LEARN MORE BELOW)
PETITION UPDATE (1/3/2020):
In advance of the Supreme Court's hearing arguments in an important abortion case later this year in March, 207 U.S. Senators and Representatives have signed amicus briefs supporting a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital nearby an abortion center.
Some of these supporting briefs also suggest that now is the time to reconsider Roe vs Wade as sound law.
Please SIGN this petition, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Roe vs Wade.
_____________________________________________________________________________
More than 60 million Americans have been slaughtered in their mother's wombs as a result of Roe v. Wade. This activist, unconstitutional ruling in 1973 has left countless women emotionally and psychologically scarred.
It was believed by many that Roe would be overturned in 1992 with Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Despite having eight Republican-appointed judges at the time, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold it.
Since then, major gains have been made in the fight for life, and many lives have been saved.
However, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, leaving millions of defenseless pre-born children vulnerable to murder.
According to a 2016 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35% of aborted babies are African American, despite black women only making up six percent of the U.S. population. 19% of aborted babies are Hispanic.
We thus again call on the court to do everything they can to end Roe vs Wade.
Now is the time for pro-lifers to join together and ensure that all of God's children have a right to life.
Roe v. Wade must come to an end!

lifesitenews--2020-10-29--Physicians: ‘Masks don’t control viruses, they control you,’ ‘pandemic is over’

WASHINGTON , D.C. , October 29 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A rapidly growing group of doctors critical of the government ’ s and the media ’ s response to the coronavirus crisis characterized mask wearing as “ completely irrelevant to blocking the … virus.
” America ’ s Frontline Doctors ( AFLD ) , a “ diverse , exceedingly well-credentialed ” group of physicians , gathered in the nation ’ s capital on October 16 and 17 for a second “ White Coat Summit ” aimed at countering “ the massive disinformation campaign regarding the [ COVID-19 ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ website .
Physician , attorney , and founder of AFLD , Dr. Simone Gold , began their press conference affirming the event ’ s purpose to bring to “ the American people truth … hope … optimism ” and more reasons “ to not live in fear ” of the coronavirus .
She affirmed that there “ continues to be a great deal of disinformation and outright censorship , ” which since July “ has [ only ] gotten worse.
” In response , the emergency doctor announced that AFLD had established a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these issues which “ is not censored , ” and will serve to “ dispel the myths ” created by the media who has “ lied to ” the American people .
The website even provides practical help for finding a physician who may prescribe hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) , a pharmacy that would likely fill the prescription and a map of US states where HCQ use for COVID is not restricted .
There is also detailed information to give to a physician who may need convincing information about the effectiveness of HCQ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provides the simple details of the most effective protocols for using HCQ and lists other medications and supplements for both prevention and treatment of coronavirus infection .
With regards to masks , Gold did not mince her words , stating , “ The facts are not in dispute : masks are completely irrelevant to blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
” Encouraging all to do their own research , she affirmed they would “ discover that prior to masks becoming political in March 2020 , there was never even an attempt at a pretense that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a virus .
It ’ s a complete fabrication .
A virus is 1/1000 the size of a hair.
” Gold referred to Dr. Anthony Fauci , a key member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force who confirmed the same about masks in a March 2020 interview , as “ Emperor Fauci.
” She then cited the New England Journal of Medicine which acknowledged that “ masks serve symbolic roles ” and are thus mere “ lucky charms that may help increase ” a person ’ s “ perceived sense of safety.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on curbing the spread of the virus , Gold also made strong arguments that masks are “ socially divisive , ” “ cause an insurmountable civil libertarian issue , ” and even threaten national security .
Illustrating the absurdity of the dominant narrative , she said , “ Notice that what the ‘ experts ’ have said for months has been wrong — there are not two million dead , our healthcare system was not overwhelmed , there were 10x the ventilators we needed , nearly everyone survives , and early treatment works.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ own life experience !
” she exclaimed .
“ If all you had to do to stop a virus is hold a tissue paper to your face , our ancestors would have learned this centuries ago and your grandmother would have taught you this !
” “ The tiny Emperor Has No Clothes !
” she concluded .
In his brief statement , Dr. James Todaro , an investigative physician with a medical degree from Columbia University in New York City , emphasized not “ the censorship of the present , ” but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” which is being committed by news organizations on a routine basis .
“ Unbeknownst to many , news organizations are deleting articles from the past that no longer fit the narrative today … of fear , panic and lockdown , ” Todaro said .
“ Case in point , earlier this week I tweeted-out a Forbes article … called ‘ Why the World Health Organization faked a pandemic.
’ It was a scathing review of the WHO ’ s overexaggerated response to the swine flu ten years ago .
[ It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ About 12 hours after I tweeted out that article , Forbes deleted it from their database , ” he continued .
“ Forbes actually deleted their own story from ten years ago , overnight , when I drew attention to it .
And that is going on unnoticed , continually .
News organizations are deleting history.
” Dr. Richard Urso , an ophthalmologist and graduate of the University of Texas Houston School of Medicine , explained how “ early on ” he realized that “ we had a treatment for this virus , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ … never made sense.
” Viruses involve infection , and often “ inflammation , blood clots , and breathing problems , ” he stated .
Since “ every doctor ” knows how to treat these issues , successful treatment was always available .
And , if anybody “ tells you different , that is science fiction … not science , ” he affirmed .
In using a chart to describe current statistics with regards to “ cases ” and deaths , Urso demonstrated that “ we don ’ t have a pandemic any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ act in a consistent way .
They have “ a large peak early on , ” with many people “ getting cases ( and ) a lot of people dying.
” Then , “ about 110 days later … You get a small peak follow-up , ” and next , the curve diminishes and flattens .
On his chart , Urso showed where the two peaks were , in March and July , and then pointed out the very low death rate in September despite a high number of reported “ cases , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is over.
” He also charged the media with “ driving ” what he referred to only as a “ casedemic ” with “ fear and … trying to make us believe that we need to stay locked down.
” A graduate of the University of Rochester Medical School , Dr. Lee Merritt , served for 10 years as a military surgeon and also on a congressional committee investigating technology for the U.S. Navy .
As a spine surgeon , she explains , “ I spent 40 % of my life in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my entire career … nobody was talking about masks as a control mechanism for viruses.
” Viruses are passed by tiny “ .12 micron ” particles “ that sneak out through the mask and around the mask … Even the very best medical masks can not screen out , can not protect , from this type of small particle virus.
” Indeed , “ the atmosphere and the whole air fluidity is filled with viruses .
We have it around us all the time .
You can ’ t mask that away.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks don ’ t control viruses , they control you.
” She calls the notion that they are not damaging to individuals , children and society , “ a myth.
” “ Besides what they ’ re doing to society as a whole , separating us , isolating us , think about what they ’ re doing to our children , ” she said .
“ Children need to look at faces to learn how to be a human .
Reading faces is part of humanity — interacting with people .
We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an inchoate fear of things … children who are afraid of their environment.
” “ The masks may look like they are not much … just a little soft piece of cloth over your face .
What ’ s the big deal ?
The big deal is , they may be soft , and they may look okay , but this is George Orwell ’ s boot on a human face forever if we don ’ t get this off , ” she concluded .
Having studied COVID-19 death rates in Africa , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and an attorney , discovered that “ a person is 35 times more likely to die from a coronavirus in the United States then in the malaria endemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
” In his individual presentation on the subject , he affirmed that the “ evidence strongly suggests this is due to travelers universally taking hydroxychloroquine-related prophylactic anti-malarial drugs ” in those regions , which the FDA regulated in the U.S. Schools in U.S. must be open Certified primary care physician , and former 12-year elected school board member , Dr. Jeffrey Barke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remains no scientific justification for the closing of schools in the U.S. “ The data is clear from the CDC ’ s own website , ” he affirmed .
“ If you ’ re less than 20 years old the survivability of COVID-19 is 99.997 % .
” Giving examples , he showed that while “ every death is a tragedy , ” a child is about 5 times more likely to die from drowning , 8.3 times more likely to die in a traffic accident , and 25 times more likely to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus .
Secondly , he addressed “ the notion that somehow our children spread this virus to at-risk adults , ” confirming that this “ just isn ’ t true.
” Demonstrating the point , he cited a study from The Atlantic , which “ looked at 200,000 kids in 47 states , ” and concluded that “ kids barely get ill and they don ’ t spread this virus to at-risk adults.
” Similarly , a German study of “ over 2,000 students in 13 schools ” concluded “ that in fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus spreading to adults.
” “ Schools in United States must be open , ” he said .
“ The fear of this virus is causing more harm than the virus itself : with increased anxiety , increased suicide , and increased depression .
We must open the schools and we must stop spreading unnecessary fear to our children.
” Coming from El Centro , CA , Dr. Brian Tyson , a board-certified family medicine doctor , explained how he rejected the directives of public health officials who advised doctors to send COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a certain level of severity .
Instead , using hydroxychloroquine , “ [ w ] e treated this virus early .
We treated this virus aggressively.
” And in what he described as being “ one of the highest-risk populations in the nation , ” with patients ranging between the ages of 11 months to 90 years old , they treated “ over 1,900 positive patients , ” and “ had only one hospitalization and zero deaths .
Zero deaths !
” “ I ’ m here to tell you , at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afraid , ” he said .
But “ we ’ re no longer afraid , ” since excellent early treatment is available .
“ We can go back to school again .
We can go back to work again … And we can go back to being Americans , again .
We do not need to let fear take our freedom.
” “ The media has lied , and people have died ” Certified internal medicine physician from Texas , Dr. Robin Armstrong , told a story of the contrast between treating his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nursing home .
In the former case he used a treatment regimen including “ dexamethasone and convalescent plasma , ” with limited success .
“ We ’ ve seen a lot of patients die ” in these circumstances , “ and we ’ ve seen some of those patients get better.
” By contrast , in his nursing home practice , he explained , they had “ the opportunity to … successfully treat ” these “ frail patients , very sick , the elderly patients , ” with “ hydroxychloroquine , azithromycin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better.
” “ Now the media , and a lot of fake doctors on television will tell you that hydroxychloroquine is not safe , ” he said .
“ And I ’ m here to tell you , that is an absolute lie !
The media has lied , and people have died.
” “ Early treatment is the key and there is an inexpensive alternative .
We are here today to say that COVID-19 does not have to kill .
COVID-19 has therapeutics that you can be treated with if you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not need to walk in fear any longer , ” he concluded .
Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald discussed his experience with children over the last several months .
“ I ’ ve seen hundreds and hundreds of children since early 2020 .
They are all afraid , ” he said .
Decrying the environment of fear in which children are being raised today , he stated , “ Not only have Americans become afraid , they have become infected by … a pandemic of hysteria … a delusional psychosis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belief contrary to reality .
Americans today believe that we must keep our businesses closed , that we must keep our children at home , that we must wear masks over our faces and isolate ourselves from human beings in order to keep us alive .
That is false .
That is a lie .
And it is killing us .
It is killing us physically , mentally , socially , psychologically , it is killing our country , and it must stop.
” Capping off the press conference , Dr. Gold again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to her physician peers across the nation .
“ Fellow doctors , our country is in a crisis , and there are forces at work using doctors as tools in their war games , ” she said .
“ I say to you now , my doctor peers , that the evidence that early treatment works is overwhelming .
You are a physician .
You must look at the science yourself .
You are not allowed by the oath that you took yourself to follow the orders of another person saying it does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not the NIH , not the FDA , not Dr. Fauci , not Dr. [ Deborah ] Birx , not Dr. [ Robert ] Redfield.
” “ There is no reason to be living in fear , ” Gold exclaimed .
“ Even patients over 70 have a 95 % success rate with a virus but the truth is it could be virtually 100 % with the early treatment.
” Addressing all Americans , she said , “ To all Americans , when you are sick , who do you call ?
Do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
The FDA ?
No , you call your doctor .
Don ’ t believe a bureaucratic agency that is censoring your doctor .
Go to our website .
Become informed .
Then go to your doctor knowing that early treatment works , masks do not .
And if your doctor responds with fear , you need a new doctor , one who honors the Hippocratic oath.
” In late July , America ’ s Frontline Doctors met for their first “ White Coat Summit.
” Video of the press conference went viral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ views “ within 8 hours , ” including “ 185,000 concurrent viewers at the time it was streamed , ” Breitbart News reported .
The video was , however , swiftly removed from YouTube , Twitter , and Facebook for violating the sites ’ respective COVID-19 “ misinformation ” policies , even though the tech giants made no attempt to present any evidence for where these board-certified physicians provided “ misinformation.
” The tech companies have been heavily censoring any information that does not completely align with the World Health Organization .

‘The big deal is, they may be soft, and they may look okay, but this is George Orwell’s boot on a human face forever if we don’t get this off,’ one doctor said about mask mandates.
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A rapidly growing group of doctors critical of the government’s and the media’s response to the coronavirus crisis characterized mask wearing as “completely irrelevant to blocking the … virus.”
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), a “diverse, exceedingly well-credentialed” group of physicians, gathered in the nation’s capital on October 16 and 17 for a second “White Coat Summit” aimed at countering “the massive disinformation campaign regarding the [COVID-19] pandemic,” according to the official website.

She affirmed that there “continues to be a great deal of disinformation and outright censorship,” which since July “has [only] gotten worse.”
In response, the emergency doctor announced that AFLD had established a website where all can access information on these issues which “is not censored,” and will serve to “dispel the myths” created by the media who has “lied to” the American people. (NOTE: article continues below the video).
The website even provides practical help for finding a physician who may prescribe hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a pharmacy that would likely fill the prescription and a map of US states where HCQ use for COVID is not restricted.
There is also detailed information to give to a physician who may need convincing information about the effectiveness of HCQ. The website has a page that provides the simple details of the most effective protocols for using HCQ and lists other medications and supplements for both prevention and treatment of coronavirus infection.
Masks as “lucky charms”
With regards to masks, Gold did not mince her words, stating, “The facts are not in dispute: masks are completely irrelevant to blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”
Encouraging all to do their own research, she affirmed they would “discover that prior to masks becoming political in March 2020, there was never even an attempt at a pretense that masks, let alone bandanas, stop a virus. It’s a complete fabrication. A virus is 1/1000 the size of a hair.”
Gold referred to Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force who confirmed the same about masks in a March 2020 interview, as “Emperor Fauci.”
She then cited the New England Journal of Medicine which acknowledged that “masks serve symbolic roles” and are thus mere “lucky charms that may help increase” a person’s “perceived sense of safety.”
In addition to having no effect on curbing the spread of the virus, Gold also made strong arguments that masks are “socially divisive,” “cause an insurmountable civil libertarian issue,” and even threaten national security.
Illustrating the absurdity of the dominant narrative, she said, “Notice that what the ‘experts’ have said for months has been wrong — there are not two million dead, our healthcare system was not overwhelmed, there were 10x the ventilators we needed, nearly everyone survives, and early treatment works.”
“You must not ignore your own life experience!” she exclaimed. “If all you had to do to stop a virus is hold a tissue paper to your face, our ancestors would have learned this centuries ago and your grandmother would have taught you this!”
“The tiny Emperor Has No Clothes!” she concluded.
The deleting of history
In his brief statement, Dr. James Todaro, an investigative physician with a medical degree from Columbia University in New York City, emphasized not “the censorship of the present,” but “the deletion and rewriting of history” which is being committed by news organizations on a routine basis.
“Unbeknownst to many, news organizations are deleting articles from the past that no longer fit the narrative today … of fear, panic and lockdown,” Todaro said. “Case in point, earlier this week I tweeted-out a Forbes article … called ‘Why the World Health Organization faked a pandemic.’ It was a scathing review of the WHO’s overexaggerated response to the swine flu ten years ago.

Hydroxychloroquine and dramatically better results
Having studied COVID-19 death rates in Africa, Dr. Geoff Mitchell, a medical doctor and an attorney, discovered that “a person is 35 times more likely to die from a coronavirus in the United States then in the malaria endemic in sub-Saharan Africa.”
In his individual presentation on the subject, he affirmed that the “evidence strongly suggests this is due to travelers universally taking hydroxychloroquine-related prophylactic anti-malarial drugs” in those regions, which the FDA regulated in the U.S.
Schools in U.S. must be open
Certified primary care physician, and former 12-year elected school board member, Dr. Jeffrey Barke, made a strong case that there remains no scientific justification for the closing of schools in the U.S.
“The data is clear from the CDC’s own website,” he affirmed. “If you’re less than 20 years old the survivability of COVID-19 is 99.997%.”
Giving examples, he showed that while “every death is a tragedy,” a child is about 5 times more likely to die from drowning, 8.3 times more likely to die in a traffic accident, and 25 times more likely to die from cancer, than from the coronavirus.
Secondly, he addressed “the notion that somehow our children spread this virus to at-risk adults,” confirming that this “just isn’t true.”
Demonstrating the point, he cited a study from The Atlantic, which “looked at 200,000 kids in 47 states,” and concluded that “kids barely get ill and they don’t spread this virus to at-risk adults.” Similarly, a German study of “over 2,000 students in 13 schools” concluded “that in fact children act as a break upon the virus spreading to adults.”
“Schools in United States must be open,” he said. “The fear of this virus is causing more harm than the virus itself: with increased anxiety, increased suicide, and increased depression. We must open the schools and we must stop spreading unnecessary fear to our children.”
Early treatment and “zero deaths”
Coming from El Centro, CA, Dr. Brian Tyson, a board-certified family medicine doctor, explained how he rejected the directives of public health officials who advised doctors to send COVID-19 patients home until their symptoms had reached a certain level of severity.
Instead, using hydroxychloroquine, “[w]e treated this virus early. We treated this virus aggressively.” And in what he described as being “one of the highest-risk populations in the nation,” with patients ranging between the ages of 11 months to 90 years old, they treated “over 1,900 positive patients,” and “had only one hospitalization and zero deaths.

By contrast, in his nursing home practice, he explained, they had “the opportunity to … successfully treat” these “frail patients, very sick, the elderly patients,” with “hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc, and those patients got better.”
“Now the media, and a lot of fake doctors on television will tell you that hydroxychloroquine is not safe,” he said. “And I’m here to tell you, that is an absolute lie! The media has lied, and people have died.”
“Early treatment is the key and there is an inexpensive alternative. We are here today to say that COVID-19 does not have to kill. COVID-19 has therapeutics that you can be treated with if you’re treated early, and that you do not need to walk in fear any longer,” he concluded.
“A pandemic of hysteria”
Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald discussed his experience with children over the last several months. “I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of children since early 2020. They are all afraid,” he said.
Decrying the environment of fear in which children are being raised today, he stated, “Not only have Americans become afraid, they have become infected by … a pandemic of hysteria … a delusional psychosis. A delusion is a fixed false belief contrary to reality. Americans today believe that we must keep our businesses closed, that we must keep our children at home, that we must wear masks over our faces and isolate ourselves from human beings in order to keep us alive. That is false. That is a lie. And it is killing us. It is killing us physically, mentally, socially, psychologically, it is killing our country, and it must stop.”
A call to physicians
Capping off the press conference, Dr. Gold again stepped to the microphone to speak directly to her physician peers across the nation.
“Fellow doctors, our country is in a crisis, and there are forces at work using doctors as tools in their war games,” she said. “I say to you now, my doctor peers, that the evidence that early treatment works is overwhelming. You are a physician. You must look at the science yourself. You are not allowed by the oath that you took yourself to follow the orders of another person saying it does not work, not the CDC, not the NIH, not the FDA, not Dr. Fauci, not Dr. [Deborah] Birx, not Dr. [Robert] Redfield.”
“There is no reason to be living in fear,” Gold exclaimed. “Even patients over 70 have a 95% success rate with a virus but the truth is it could be virtually 100% with the early treatment.”
Addressing all Americans, she said, “To all Americans, when you are sick, who do you call? Do you call the CDC? The NIH? The FDA? No, you call your doctor. Don’t believe a bureaucratic agency that is censoring your doctor. Go to our website. Become informed. Then go to your doctor knowing that early treatment works, masks do not. And if your doctor responds with fear, you need a new doctor, one who honors the Hippocratic oath.”
Big tech censorship
In late July, America’s Frontline Doctors met for their first “White Coat Summit.” Video of the press conference went viral on social media, garnering 17 million views “within 8 hours,” including “185,000 concurrent viewers at the time it was streamed,” Breitbart News reported.
The video was, however, swiftly removed from YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook for violating the sites’ respective COVID-19 “misinformation” policies, even though the tech giants made no attempt to present any evidence for where these board-certified physicians provided “misinformation.”
The tech companies have been heavily censoring any information that does not completely align with the World Health Organization. The WHO has been severely criticized by President Trump and many others for false information they gave on the coronavirus, their close connection to China’s Communist Party, and many other reasons.

lifesitenews--2020-10-29--Infectious disease expert at FDA meeting raises concern about ‘safety’ of kids getting COVID vaccine

October 29 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – An American pediatric doctor and infectious disease specialist who serves on a U.S. Federal government committee has raised concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccines for children , saying that since the virus ’ effect on children is so “ mild ” the government had better be “ very sure about safety of a vaccine.
” Last Thursday , Dr. Cody Meissner , a pediatric infectious disease vaccine expert at Tufts Children 's Hospital and a member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing a COVID-19 vaccine on children .
“ To me , we ’ ve got to be very sure that these vaccines do not elicit an adverse reaction that may be delayed , ” said Dr. Meissner to his fellow committee members at the FDA Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting last Thursday ( see comments here or at about 4:51:00 mark of video ) .
“ Relatively speaking , it ’ s a very mild disease and I think we have to be very sure about safety of a vaccine in children , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel that most adverse reactions to vaccines come within six weeks of being immunized .
In the meeting , Dr. Meissner also said that if he were part of the FDA , he would “ certainly want to be very convinced about the safety of a vaccine before I approved its use in children , '' adding that `` the pattern of disease is very different in children , and lumping them in with adults would cause me some discomfort . ''
Dr. Meissner is a signatory of the Great Barrington Declaration and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extreme .
Meissner ’ s concerns came amid news of American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer along with its COVID-19 vaccine partner BioNtech , announcing in mid-October they had the go-ahead from the FDA to enroll kids as young as 12 in their vaccine trials .
Last week , Cincinnati Children 's Hospital began trial vaccinations of a Pfizer/BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine on a group of middle school-aged children , with an Ohio boy becoming one of the first 12-year-olds to receive a trial COVID-19 vaccine .
Alan Moy , M.D.
, founder and scientific director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Institute and CEO of Cellular Engineering Technologies , told LifeSiteNews that he agrees with Dr. Meissner ’ s assessment .
“ I think the vaccine should be thoroughly evaluated in adults first and those results have to transparent , published , and approved by the FDA.
” The Pfizer/BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine , known as BNT162b2 , is mRNA based and is allegedly made without cell lines derived from an aborted baby .
Other COVID-19 vaccines being touted by governments such as ones from AstraZeneca and the Chinese firm CanSino Biologics Inc. are Adenovirus-vector @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cell line derived from fetal cells harvested from an aborted baby decades ago .
According to Pfizer/BioNtech , results from their phase I/II studies of BNT162b1 , the precursor to BNT162b2 , showed a `` robust '' immune response in those who got immunized .
The Pfizer/BioNtech , trial COVID-19 vaccine involves participants receiving two injections which are generally given around three weeks apart .
Volunteers do not know if their injections are real , or a placebo .
In May the Trump Administration ’ s announced Operation Warp Speed which directed billions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come up with a COVID-19 vaccine .
As a result of the program , the FDA has allowed potential COVID-19 vaccines to be in effect , fast-tracked , meaning the usual process of testing on animals to ensure safety and efficacy has been bypassed .
Dr. Moy criticized “ Operation Warp Speed , ” as being too rushed , calling into safety the program 's ability to deliver a COVID-19 vaccine in a safe and timely manner .
In an August 26 article posted for LifeSiteNews , Moy wrote that “ Operation Warp @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its financial resources towards vaccine approaches that lack a track record of success.
” He also questioned why animal trials are not being required , noting that in past preclinical studies , “ some animals developed a more serious pneumonia with SARS vaccines when subsequently challenged with a live SARS virus than in non-vaccinated animals.
” Recently , Trump promised that nursing homes would be given free COVID vaccines once they are approved for distribution .
Some COVID-19 vaccine trials have already been halted due to safety concerns .
In September , trials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from aborted baby cell lines were paused after participants became sick .
Also in October , Johnson & Johnson announced that it was pausing clinical trials of their COVID-19 vaccine which uses an aborted baby cell line after one participant began to experience an “ unexplained illness.
” The World Health Organization lists a tracker that lists over 120 COVID-19 vaccine candidates that are currently in development , with many already having advanced to clinical trials .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!

One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!
