Why Does The Mainstream Media Seem So Desperate To Keep The Coronavirus Lockdowns Going ?
Something doesn ’ t smell right .
The number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. each day has been declining , as has the number of deaths .
This is great news , and we should be hoping that the falling numbers are a sign that the pandemic is beginning to subside .
But the mainstream media has been relentlessly pumping out stories that warn of “ disaster ” if the lockdowns are lifted “ too soon ” .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” we are inviting a “ second wave ” which will be even deadlier than the first one .
And it is certainly true that as we end the lockdowns more people will get exposed to COVID-19 , but right now I do not know of a single hospital in the entire country that is currently being overwhelmed by this pandemic .
As long as our hospitals can handle it , there is no reason to continue the lockdowns .
But the mainstream media seems desperate to keep the lockdowns going , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ inviting disaster ” by ending them .
For example , the following comes from a New York Times article that was just published entitled “ As States Rush to Reopen , Scientists Fear a Coronavirus Comeback ” … And this is how that article ended… Without a doubt , most Americans certainly do not want to see a loved one die after catching COVID-19 .
But of course , the truth is that a lot more people are going to get sick and a lot more people are going to die @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The lockdowns can help to “ flatten the curve ” , but they won ’ t alter the final numbers from this pandemic by that much .
Initially , we were told that the goal of the lockdowns was to keep our healthcare systems from being overwhelmed , and we should stick to that .
Unfortunately , the mainstream media just won ’ t turn the hype machine off , and they seem willing to twist facts if that is what is necessary .
Just look at what NBC News is reporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just posted , “ infection rates are spiking to new highs ” in many areas of the nation… No , infection rates are not spiking .
Just go to worldometers.info and check for yourself .
Yes , the numbers are still high , but they are a lot lower than they were .
So it appears that President Trump is correct in this case and NBC News is wrong .
So why is the mainstream media doing this ?
Could it be possible that they are trying to hurt President Trump politically ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ poll numbers have suffered during the lockdowns , and if the U.S. economy does not bounce back by November it is certainly going to be tough for him to win .
And at this point , the mainstream media is not even trying to hide how much they hate Trump .
For many of them , getting rid of Trump is priority number one , and they will exploit any angle that they can to try to make that happen .
But political considerations should not be governing how we approach this crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t even realize that if we would have just used basic common sense that we would have never needed lockdowns in the first place .
According to a new study that was just released , none of the lockdowns would have been necessary if at least 80 percent of Americans were willing to wear masks… Of course , at the beginning of this crisis , the CDC specifically instructed the American people not to wear masks , and it took them weeks to finally reverse course .
But other nations that used basic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than us .
The following comes from Vanity Fair… It is actually very simple how the Japanese were able to accomplish this .
Virtually everyone in the entire country is wearing a mask when they go out in public .
Yes , it is just that simple .
In addition , a number of studies have found that mortality rates are much , much lower for those that have a sufficient level of Vitamin D in their systems .
Natural News just posted an article about one of these studies… Ultimately , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suffering if everyone had just been willing to wear masks and if everyone had been taking plenty of Vitamin D. But instead of focusing on these basic common sense solutions , the mainstream media continues to push the fear button , and now Congress is considering a bill which would spend 100 billion dollars “ to create an army of contact tracers ” … Things like this make you want to tear your hair out .
We don ’ t need an army of “ contract tracers ” .
All we need is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sadly , those in positions of power always seem quite eager to take advantage of any crisis that comes along .
We have seen so many examples of tyranny during this pandemic , and this has especially been true in California .
The following comes from an article by Ron Paul… A Fresno , California waffle restaurant dared to open its doors for business this weekend to the delight of a long line of customers , who waited up to two hours for the “ privilege ” of willingly spending their money in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Mother ’ s Day .
This freedom of voluntary transaction is the core of what we used to call our free society .
But in an America paralyzed by fear – ramped up by a mainstream media that churns out propaganda at a level unparalleled in history – no one is allowed to enjoy themselves .
Thankfully everyone carries a smartphone these days and can record and upload the frequent violations of our Constitutional liberties .
In the case of the waffle restaurant , thanks to a cell phone video we saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try to push through the crowd waiting outside .
An elderly man who was next in line to enter was indignant , complaining that he had been waiting two hours to eat at the restaurant and was not about to step aside while the police shut down the place .
The police proceeded to violently handcuff and arrest the man , dragging him off while his wife followed sadly behind him to the police car .
We can not allow them to use this crisis to take away our essential freedoms and liberties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get sick and more people are going to die before this pandemic is over .
But if we allow our freedoms and liberties to be stripped away in the process , we may find that it will be exceedingly difficult to ever get them back .
Unfortunately , the mainstream media is likely to continue to needlessly exaggerate the threat of COVID-19 for the foreseeable future , and that will almost certainly result in more bad decisions from our policy makers .

Why Does The Mainstream Media Seem So Desperate To Keep The Coronavirus Lockdowns Going?
Something doesn’t smell right. The number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. each day has been declining, as has the number of deaths. This is great news, and we should be hoping that the falling numbers are a sign that the pandemic is beginning to subside. But the mainstream media has been relentlessly pumping out stories that warn of “disaster” if the lockdowns are lifted “too soon”. According to the mainstream media, by “ignoring science” we are inviting a “second wave” which will be even deadlier than the first one. And it is certainly true that as we end the lockdowns more people will get exposed to COVID-19, but right now I do not know of a single hospital in the entire country that is currently being overwhelmed by this pandemic. As long as our hospitals can handle it, there is no reason to continue the lockdowns.
But the mainstream media seems desperate to keep the lockdowns going, and so they keep telling us that we are “inviting disaster” by ending them. For example, the following comes from a New York Times article that was just published entitled “As States Rush to Reopen, Scientists Fear a Coronavirus Comeback”…
Millions of working people and small-business owners who cannot earn money while sheltering at home are facing economic ruin. So dozens of states, seeking to ease the pain, are coming out of lockdown. Most have not met even minimal criteria for doing so safely, and some are reopening even as coronavirus cases rise, inviting disaster. The much-feared “second wave” of infection may not wait until fall, many scientists say, and instead may become a storm of wavelets breaking unpredictably across the country.
And this is how that article ended…
Having 50 states and more territories do competing and uncoordinated experiments in reopening is “daring Mother Nature to kill you or someone you love,” Dr. Frieden said. “Mother Nature bats last, and she bats a thousand.”
That sounds quite ominous.
Without a doubt, most Americans certainly do not want to see a loved one die after catching COVID-19.
But of course, the truth is that a lot more people are going to get sick and a lot more people are going to die whether we have the lockdowns or not. The lockdowns can help to “flatten the curve”, but they won’t alter the final numbers from this pandemic by that much.
Initially, we were told that the goal of the lockdowns was to keep our healthcare systems from being overwhelmed, and we should stick to that.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media just won’t turn the hype machine off, and they seem willing to twist facts if that is what is necessary.
Just look at what NBC News is reporting. According to an article that they just posted, “infection rates are spiking to new highs” in many areas of the nation…
Coronavirus infection rates are spiking to new highs in several metropolitan areas and smaller communities across the country, according to undisclosed data the White House’s pandemic task force is using to track rates of infection, which was obtained by NBC News. The data contained in a May 7 coronavirus task force report are at odds with the president’s declaration Monday, May 11, 2020, that “all throughout the country, the numbers are coming down rapidly.”
No, infection rates are not spiking. Just go to worldometers.info and check for yourself.
Yes, the numbers are still high, but they are a lot lower than they were. So it appears that President Trump is correct in this case and NBC News is wrong.
So why is the mainstream media doing this?
Could it be possible that they are trying to hurt President Trump politically? Without a doubt, Trump’s poll numbers have suffered during the lockdowns, and if the U.S. economy does not bounce back by November it is certainly going to be tough for him to win.
And at this point, the mainstream media is not even trying to hide how much they hate Trump. For many of them, getting rid of Trump is priority number one, and they will exploit any angle that they can to try to make that happen.
But political considerations should not be governing how we approach this crisis.
Sadly, most Americans don’t even realize that if we would have just used basic common sense that we would have never needed lockdowns in the first place.
According to a new study that was just released, none of the lockdowns would have been necessary if at least 80 percent of Americans were willing to wear masks…
For nearly three months, we’ve been urging people to wear masks to help stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, a new study and online simulation tool shows that America could end the lockdowns and beat the coronavirus in a matter of weeks if just 80% of people wore masks in public. Yes, it’s that simple: Wear a mask and you beat the virus.
Of course, at the beginning of this crisis, the CDC specifically instructed the American people not to wear masks, and it took them weeks to finally reverse course.
But other nations that used basic common sense have fared so much better than us. The following comes from Vanity Fair…
The day before yesterday, 21 people died of COVID-19 in Japan. In the United States, 2,129 died. Comparing overall death rates for the two countries offers an even starker point of comparison with total U.S. deaths now at a staggering 76,032 and Japan’s fatalities at 577. Japan’s population is about 38% of the U.S., but even adjusting for population, the Japanese death rate is a mere 2% of America’s. This comes despite Japan having no lockdown, still-active subways, and many businesses that have remained open—reportedly including karaoke bars, although Japanese citizens and industries are practicing social distancing where they can. Nor have the Japanese broadly embraced contact tracing, a practice by which health authorities identify someone who has been infected and then attempt to identify everyone that person might have interacted with—and potentially infected. So how does Japan do it?
It is actually very simple how the Japanese were able to accomplish this.
Virtually everyone in the entire country is wearing a mask when they go out in public.
Yes, it is just that simple.
In addition, a number of studies have found that mortality rates are much, much lower for those that have a sufficient level of Vitamin D in their systems. Natural News just posted an article about one of these studies…
It was when the researchers closely looked at data from patients hailing from countries with high COVID-19 mortality rates, namely Italy, Spain and the UK, that they observed a common denominator: they had generally lower levels of vitamin D compared to patients from countries that had significantly lower mortality rates. In addition, after further examination of the patients’ data, the researchers found a link between low vitamin D levels and “cytokine storms,” a hyper-inflammatory condition caused by an overactive immune system.
Ultimately, we could have avoided so much pain and suffering if everyone had just been willing to wear masks and if everyone had been taking plenty of Vitamin D.
But instead of focusing on these basic common sense solutions, the mainstream media continues to push the fear button, and now Congress is considering a bill which would spend 100 billion dollars “to create an army of contact tracers”…
Illinois Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush has introduced the H.R. 6666 TRACE Act, which includes a $100 billion grant program which would authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create an army of contact tracers operating through healthcare, schools and nonprofit entities, who would perform COVID-19 diagnostic testing “through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.”
Things like this make you want to tear your hair out.
We don’t need an army of “contract tracers”.
All we need is a little bit of common sense.
Sadly, those in positions of power always seem quite eager to take advantage of any crisis that comes along.
We have seen so many examples of tyranny during this pandemic, and this has especially been true in California. The following comes from an article by Ron Paul…
A Fresno, California waffle restaurant dared to open its doors for business this weekend to the delight of a long line of customers, who waited up to two hours for the “privilege” of willingly spending their money in a business happy to serve them breakfast on Mother’s Day. This freedom of voluntary transaction is the core of what we used to call our free society. But in an America paralyzed by fear – ramped up by a mainstream media that churns out propaganda at a level unparalleled in history – no one is allowed to enjoy themselves. Thankfully everyone carries a smartphone these days and can record and upload the frequent violations of our Constitutional liberties. In the case of the waffle restaurant, thanks to a cell phone video we saw the police show up in force and try to push through the crowd waiting outside. An elderly man who was next in line to enter was indignant, complaining that he had been waiting two hours to eat at the restaurant and was not about to step aside while the police shut down the place. The police proceeded to violently handcuff and arrest the man, dragging him off while his wife followed sadly behind him to the police car.
We cannot allow them to use this crisis to take away our essential freedoms and liberties.
Yes, more people are going to get sick and more people are going to die before this pandemic is over.
But if we allow our freedoms and liberties to be stripped away in the process, we may find that it will be exceedingly difficult to ever get them back.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media is likely to continue to needlessly exaggerate the threat of COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and that will almost certainly result in more bad decisions from our policy makers.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-12--Good Cop Fired For Asking Fellow Cops To Respect Rights Of The People

Good Cop Fired For Asking Fellow Cops To Respect Rights Of The People Seattle , WA — Last week , TFTP brought you the story of Port of Seattle Police Officer Greg Anderson , who made a video calling out the bad cops throughout the country who are enforcing mandates in complete violation of the oaths they swore to uphold the constitution .
This put a target on his back and in the cross hairs of authoritarians across the country .
Now , proving the point that good cops are hard to find and the system is set up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anderson has been terminated .
As we reported last week , in the 8 minute video , Anderson says he ’ s “ seen officers nationwide enforcing these tyrannical orders.
” “ Every time I turn on the TV I see people getting cited for going to church , for travelling on the roadways , for going surfing , opening their businesses , going to the park with their families , or doing nails out of their own house , ” Anderson laments .
Anderson then reads a portion of the Bill of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cops .
“ Stopping people and asking for their papers ?
” Anderson asks .
“ What is this , 1930 ’ s Germany ?
Are you the Gestapo ?
You don ’ t get to stop people unless you have reasonable suspicion or probable cause that they have committed a crime.
” “ Our power as law enforcement officers is nothing more than a facade , ” Anderson says in one of the most telling admissions we ’ ve ever heard from a cop .
“ It ’ s a badge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ominous prediction of what he thinks will happen if cops continue to stomp on the rights of Americans .
Anderson says if the tyrant cops do not stop enforcing such arbitrary dictates from their overlords , cops will be “ stripped ” of their authority “ in a heartbeat.
” He then goes on to predict a potential civil war .
“ I am afraid that with these actions……you are going to wake a sleeping giant , ” he said .
“ They are going to be put in a position where they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anymore…..I think what is going to happen if this continues is we ’ re gon na see bloodshed in the streets.
” Anderson , who says he was special forces in Iraq , then implores his fellow cops to wake up to the tyranny they are forcing on the land of the free — before it is too late .
“ You need to ask yourself one question , and that is , ‘ am I doing the right thing ?
’ ” We agree .
Seriously asking the above question and scrutinizing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order follower is one of the best ways to end up on the right side of history .
Sadly , however , Anderson ’ s superiors do not want to end up on the right side of history .
Anderson says that after he posted the video online , he originally received a ton of praise from his superiors .
“ Wow Greg , what a powerful message , we agree with that 100 percent , ” Anderson says his superiors told him .
“ I know putting something out like that may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it was so grounded in integrity and liberty that I thought no one would have an issue with it , ” Anderson said .
The support from his superiors was short lived , however , and he says just three hours after he received the praise , their tone shifted .
“ The video is up to 400,000 views , ” Anderson says his supervisor told him , “ it ’ s time to pull the plug on it.
” When Anderson asked why such a positive message to law enforcement should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told him that he ’ d “ been directed ” to make the cop take down his video .
“ I can ’ t take down the video , because if you believe in something , even though it costs you everything……I can ’ t go back on speaking from my heart.
” he said .
After telling his supervisor that he would not take the video down , Anderson said cops from all over the country were calling him .
He said that his supervisor then called back and issued an ultimatum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accept a letter of reprimand , or , we are going to take a completely different approach to this , ” Anderson was told .
Anderson said he was then called by the chief of police who told him that if “ you openly defy your governor , you can not be a police officer in the state of Washington.
” Anderson then said , “ maybe I ’ m not meant to be a police officer in the state of Washington.
” Anderson says he was subsequently suspended , pending termination for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remove the video .
And just like that , the one good cop who attempted to stand up for the constitution while encouraging other cops to protect the rights of the citizens , was eliminated .
Shameful Anderson ’ s action of standing by his words is an act of heroism .
As we stated previously , Anderson ’ s message last week was powerful , but it was all words and no action .
Refusing to be silenced , knowing it will cost him his job , is an inspiring act of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was likely a light in the darkness that is American law enforcement , is no longer a cop .
Naturally , lots of people are angry and the Port of Seattle Police Department ’ s Facebook page is inundated with comments .

Seattle, WA — Last week, TFTP brought you the story of Port of Seattle Police Officer Greg Anderson, who made a video calling out the bad cops throughout the country who are enforcing mandates in complete violation of the oaths they swore to uphold the constitution. This put a target on his back and in the cross hairs of authoritarians across the country. Now, proving the point that good cops are hard to find and the system is set up to purge them from the ranks, officer Anderson has been terminated.
As we reported last week, in the 8 minute video, Anderson says he’s “seen officers nationwide enforcing these tyrannical orders.”
“Every time I turn on the TV I see people getting cited for going to church, for travelling on the roadways, for going surfing, opening their businesses, going to the park with their families, or doing nails out of their own house,” Anderson laments.
Anderson then reads a portion of the Bill of Rights before going off on his fellow cops.
“Stopping people and asking for their papers?” Anderson asks. “What is this, 1930’s Germany? Are you the Gestapo? You don’t get to stop people unless you have reasonable suspicion or probable cause that they have committed a crime.”
“Our power as law enforcement officers is nothing more than a facade,” Anderson says in one of the most telling admissions we’ve ever heard from a cop. “It’s a badge and a gun.”
Anderson then makes an ominous prediction of what he thinks will happen if cops continue to stomp on the rights of Americans. Anderson says if the tyrant cops do not stop enforcing such arbitrary dictates from their overlords, cops will be “stripped” of their authority “in a heartbeat.”
He then goes on to predict a potential civil war.
“I am afraid that with these actions……you are going to wake a sleeping giant,” he said. “They are going to be put in a position where they won’t have their rights trampled anymore…..I think what is going to happen if this continues is we’re gonna see bloodshed in the streets.”
Anderson, who says he was special forces in Iraq, then implores his fellow cops to wake up to the tyranny they are forcing on the land of the free — before it is too late.
“You need to ask yourself one question, and that is, ‘am I doing the right thing?’”
We agree. Seriously asking the above question and scrutinizing your very existence as a law enforcing order follower is one of the best ways to end up on the right side of history. Sadly, however, Anderson’s superiors do not want to end up on the right side of history.
Anderson says that after he posted the video online, he originally received a ton of praise from his superiors.
“Wow Greg, what a powerful message, we agree with that 100 percent,” Anderson says his superiors told him.
“I know putting something out like that may have gotten a lot of attention, but it was so grounded in integrity and liberty that I thought no one would have an issue with it,” Anderson said.
The support from his superiors was short lived, however, and he says just three hours after he received the praise, their tone shifted.
“The video is up to 400,000 views,” Anderson says his supervisor told him, “it’s time to pull the plug on it.”
When Anderson asked why such a positive message to law enforcement should be removed, he says his supervisor told him that he’d “been directed” to make the cop take down his video.
Anderson gave his superior a resounding “no.”
“I can’t take down the video, because if you believe in something, even though it costs you everything……I can’t go back on speaking from my heart.” he said.
After telling his supervisor that he would not take the video down, Anderson said cops from all over the country were calling him. He said that his supervisor then called back and issued an ultimatum.
“Take the video down, accept a letter of reprimand, or, we are going to take a completely different approach to this,” Anderson was told.
Anderson said he was then called by the chief of police who told him that if “you openly defy your governor, you cannot be a police officer in the state of Washington.”
Anderson then said, “maybe I’m not meant to be a police officer in the state of Washington.”
Anderson says he was subsequently suspended, pending termination for refusing a “direct order” to remove the video. And just like that, the one good cop who attempted to stand up for the constitution while encouraging other cops to protect the rights of the citizens, was eliminated. Shameful
Anderson’s action of standing by his words is an act of heroism. As we stated previously, Anderson’s message last week was powerful, but it was all words and no action. Refusing to be silenced, knowing it will cost him his job, is an inspiring act of bravery. Sadly, this one person who was likely a light in the darkness that is American law enforcement, is no longer a cop.

YouTube CEO Nazi: If You Post Videos Disagreeing With The Official Narrative Put Out By The World Health Organization On COVID-19, We Will Remove Them (Video)
YouTube has now come out and actually said that they are engaging in Nazi-style censoring. Anyone who disagrees with who they claim are “authorities,” including the World Health Organization, will be censored and their videos removed from their platform.
Now, to be clear, this is an admission of breaking the law, as discussed on The Sons of Liberty – YouTube when I interviewed Jason Fyk and his lawsuit against Facebook.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki sat down with Brian Stelter on Monday for an interview on Reliable Sources. During the interview, Susan Wojcicki flat out stated that they would be removing any content that didn’t toe the party line on Chinese Coronavirus. The party line, of course, being set by the Chinese World Health Organization.
She claims that YouTube serves up billions of items from health organizations to make sure people know the official narrative and she doesn’t want people to be diverted to people who show studies, provide electron microscope images and explain just how people actually get coronavirus and how they don’t. Her entire premise for censoring other people is based on unproven theories… you could say that Wojicki, who is not a nurse nor a doctor, is a conspiracy theorist.
Remember, she is advancing the claims of those that have been caught lying to us, are in bed with people like Bill Gates to produce a mandatory vaccine and have sought to cook the books on COVID-19 sicknesses and deaths. But she believes it’s her job and YouTube’s to ensure that you only hear from those who have lied to us and any dissent will not be allowed. Heil Wojcicki!
She also emphasizes “authoritative sources,” but she doesn’t tell us why we should consider them to be “authoritative.” This is merely her opinion, which she does not back up with facts.
I think she meant to say “authoritarian” sources.
However, she claims that things are removed that are “medically unsubstantiated.” Among those things she referenced was Vitamin C and tumeric use to combat symptoms. She calls those things a “violation of our policy.”
She then went a step further.
“Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policies,” she added.
Of course, Stelter aided her propaganda by saying YouTube wasn’t just “putting the truth next to the lie,” but “you’re taking the lie down.”
While Wojcicki is obviously smiling that he is aiding her in her crimes by referring to things they disagree with as lies, it is interesting to note that this is occurring on CNN, the least trusted name in news… and who else would know more about lying than CNN.
While she claims that YouTube removes things that are violations of their policies, they never actually point to a specific policy violation when you contest their claims. Seems we need to remove YouTube employees who are engaging in this behavior as they disagree with free speech with regard to health, something which people do have a right to in this country, Fraulein Wojcicki.
Yet, all of this goes much further than she will admit.
For instance, In the past week, I’ve had several of my radio interviews pulled.
Here they are in podcast format along with documentation of the claims being made. Yet, YouTube claims that these are “inappropriate.”
As soon as The Sons of Liberty are done dealing with Facebook and their self-professed fact checkers, we’ll take aim at YouTube.

Totalitarianism: Assault Weapons And Tank Used By Police Against Mother Protecting Her Child From Dangerous Medications

Totalitarianism : Assault Weapons And Tank Used By Police Against Mother Protecting Her Child From Dangerous Medications I have a question for you concerning the state ’ s authority when it comes to America ’ s children : Where does the state have children ( Proverbs 22:6 ) ?
Where has the state magically derived delegated authority from the people that they are to serve by force in medicating or vaccinating you or your children ( Exodus 18:25 ) ?

According to the Detroit News , a 56-year-old woman faces multiple felony charges and is being held on $ 500,000 bond after a 10-hour standoff with police , claiming she was protecting her 13-year-old daughter from unnecessary medication .

Totalitarianism: a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.
I have a question for you concerning the state’s authority when it comes to America’s children: Where does the state have children (Proverbs 22:6)?
Where has the state magically derived delegated authority from the people that they are to serve by force in medicating or vaccinating you or your children (Exodus 18:25)?
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” –Declaration of independence
Americans receive their rights from God, and in turn delegate authority to their representatives. They work for “We the People,” We the People do not work for them!
Where is it in their sworn oaths does it give representatives (Regardless of office) authority to tear down the US Constitution and recreate it in their own image (Deuteronomy 23:23)?
Since when was it the job of the police to enforce such orders as to use assault weapons and a tank to force a mother to give up her child to that of Child Protective services? You say that you cannot find that in your founding documents, me neither.
Therefore we must come to the conclusion that this is foreign to the laws found within the US Constitution (Bill of Rights).
Health Impact News Reports:
According to the Detroit News, a 56-year-old woman faces multiple felony charges and is being held on $500,000 bond after a 10-hour standoff with police, claiming she was protecting her 13-year-old daughter from unnecessary medication. The story which led to this incident, as reported in the Detroit News and The Voice of Detroit, is quite disturbing.
Maryanne Godboldo’s daughter was born with a defective foot that required amputation of her leg below the knee, which led to Maryanne becoming a stay-at-home mother after her birth. Maryanne and her sister Penny now run a dance school in Detroit. Penny Godboldo reported in the Detroit News her niece’s confidence grew, and despite her handicap, she swam, sang, danced and played the piano. However, as she approached middle school age, she apparently wanted to start attending school, and therefore had to “catch up” on required immunizations.
As the Detroit News reports:
“We believe she had an adverse reaction to her immunizations,” Penny Godboldo said. “She began acting out of character, being irritated, having facial grimaces that have been associated with immunizations.”
Evans said Maryanne Godboldo sought help for her daughter from The Children’s Center, an organization that helps families with at-risk children, where a medical and mental health treatment plan was developed. Godboldo told relatives the medications ordered by the doctor worsened symptoms, including behavioral problems.
“It is an undiagnosed condition, but the doctor had given her psychotropic drugs that caused a bad reaction, made things worse,” said the girl’s father, Mubuarak Hakim. “Maryanne’s decision to wean her from that was making a difference, making her better, helping her to be a happy kid again.”
Child Protective Services workers apparently disagreed, however, and obtained a warrant to remove the girl because the mother had withheld her medication. Maryanne reportedly refused to surrender the child, and an ensuing 10-hour standoff with police followed, after Maryanne allegedly discharged a firearm inside her apartment. Maryanne’s attorney, Allison Folmar, claims her client never shot at police in a report in the Voice of Detroit, which reports that the police sent the “Detroit Special Response Team (SRT) officers who descended on the home with a tank and assault weapons. Video footage shows individual officers staking out the house, taking cover behind trees with their weapons, as in a military operation.”
The Voice of Detroit also reported the story of Starletta Banks, who filed suit in federal court in 2005 after Child Protection Services snatched her three small children, Darius, Danielle and Darren from her arms in 2000, claiming falsely that X-rays of Danielle showed evidence of old fractures:
“The illegal stealing of our children nationwide is a very serious problem that is happening every day and in every state,” Banks told VOD. “Those involved such as judges, prosecutors, social workers, attorneys, physicians, child placement agencies etc. should be exposed, prosecuted and sent to prison. The sole reasons that children are being stolen from their families and homes are the financial incentives associated with each child and circumstance. There is federal grant money given to states and child placement agencies to create situations that do not exist to generate these funds. The state of Michigan is financially broke, thus surviving on the backs of our children.
It is long overdue for the American people to rein in this tyranny, and tyranny it is. These children are ours, not the state’s.
