Forced Vaccines Upheld by the Supreme Court in 1905 in Jacobson v. Massachusetts — Overrides Individual Constitutional Rights

In response to an outbreak of smallpox more than a century ago , the Massachusetts Legislature passed a mandatory vaccination law for adults , imposing hefty fines and potential imprisonment for those who refused .
Proclaiming the law to be an invasion of his liberty , Henning Jacobson , a pastor and community leader , refused to be vaccinated , was prosecuted and fined , and subsequently filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of this edict .

We come, then, to inquire whether any right given or secured by the Constitution is invaded by the statute as interpreted by the state court. The defendant insists that his liberty is invaded when the State subjects him to fine or imprisonment for neglecting or refusing to submit to vaccination; that a compulsory vaccination law is unreasonable, arbitrary and oppressive, and, therefore, hostile to the inherent right of every freeman to care for his own body and health in such way as to him seems best, and that the execution of such a law against one who objects to vaccination, no matter for what reason, is nothing short of an assault upon his person. But the liberty secured by the Constitution of the United States to every person within its jurisdiction does not import an absolute right in each person to be, at all times and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint. There are manifold restraints to which every person is necessarily subject for the common good. On any other basis, organized society could not exist with safety to its members. Society based on the rule that each one is a law unto himself would soon be confronted with disorder and anarchy. Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others. This court has more than once recognized it as a fundamental principle that
“persons and property are subjected to all kinds of restraints and burdens, in order to secure the general comfort, health, and prosperity of the State, of the perfect right of the legislature to do which no question ever was, or upon acknowledged general principles ever can be, made so far as natural persons are concerned.”
Railroad Co. v. Husen, 95 U. S. 465, 95 U. S. 471; Missouri, Kansas & Texas Ry. Co. v. Haber, 169 U. S. 613, 169 U. S. 628, 169 U. S. 629; Thorpe v. Rutland & Burlington R.R., 27 Vermont 140, 148. In Crowley v. Christensen, 137 U. S. 86, 137 U. S. 89, we said:
“The possession and enjoyment of all rights are subject to such reasonable conditions as may be deemed by the governing authority of the country essential to the safety, health, peace, good order and morals of the community. Even liberty.
The Supreme Court has had little to say about state power to override people’s liberty during epidemics. The most helpful case is from back in 1905 during the smallpox epidemic, Jacobson v. Massachusetts. In that case, a pastor argued that a mandatory smallpox vaccination violated his constitutional rights. The Supreme Court sided with Massachusetts but framed its decision carefully.
The Court acknowledged that “the liberty secured by the Fourteenth Amendment . . . consists, in part, in the right of a person ‘to live and work where he will.’” But it added: “in every well-ordered society . . . the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.”

Reality is gonna be a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people in the coming months.
Unemployment in 2007-2009 took two years to get to 15m before a peak. We doubled that in 6 weeks to 30 million. Keep in mind many people won’t be getting their jobs back immediately when we reopen.

New survey shows that of those who received IRS stimulus checks, 38% added to savings, 26% paid off debt, and 18% planned to spend but not yet. As I warned, there's no "stimulus" in the stimulus. Classic liquidity trap. t.co/tsLdiXRjdR
Active investment managers went to more than 70% net long this week, despite a still-downtrending market.
That happened in Jan & May 2008 with ill effects.
Again in Jan 2019 during the v-bottom.
So maybe the best tell is how the market responds short-term to optimism. pic.twitter.com/aDOsAkWt1o

I will say again : if Trump is with the patriots in this country , how could he possibly still trust Dr. Fauci ; and Is he unaware of “ Vaccine Bill ” Gates ’ s track record ?

There are new stories emerging on a daily basis during this forced lockdown of ridiculous and unnecessary actions being taken by city and state officials as well as police departments that have many Americans infuriated and shaking their heads.
Parents are handcuffed in front of their small children for the crime of visiting an empty park near their homes.
A skate park with marvelous views of Venice Beach was ordered by the city to be filled in by a bulldozer with 37,000 pounds of sand because local kids defied the new “Do Not Skate” rule.
A lone man was paddle boarding 25 yards off of the Malibu Beach when he was surrounded by 3 Coast Guard crafts that forced him back to the beach where he was promptly handcuffed and arrested by two ‘heroes’ from the Malibu Police Department.
While liquor stores remain open, and marijuana sales were booming, churchgoers were issued citations while sitting in their cars attending outdoor services in their church parking lot.
Our once trusted FBI even got into the act, clownishly raiding a clinic in Michigan wearing hazmat suits because a doctor was treating people with high doses of vitamin C intravenously, which isn’t illegal. This raid took place days ago while FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Deep State shill who is still refusing to turn over documents and fully cooperate with the investigation into the Obama led “Spygate” operation. Why hasn’t Trump fired him?

It shouldn’t matter what our political affiliation is when it comes to our God-given inalienable rights and law and order, but if any party forgets that we exist in this country on the principle that we have individual liberty to make decisions ourselves, that political party should be abandoned and it’s members considered traitors to the U.S. Constitution and the Republic.
There is an old expression: “Burning the house down to kill the rats.” Is that what our controllers are doing to our great country with this phony pandemic? Are they destroying the country along with those of us who won’t accept the New World Order’s form of tyranny?
What is going on now has much more to do with power, control and the destruction of our Bill of Rights than it does with Mr. Gates’ engineered pandemic! The economy is a disaster and Trump is outspending the Kenyon at a wicked pace. If Trump continues to listen to the little creep, Dr. Fauci will do grave damage to the country. It’s time Trump moved on from the Fauci/Gates contingent of globalist liars and prepared charges against these traitors!

Trump should bring in Dr.Shiva Ayyadurai, Bio-Weapons expert Dr. Frank Boyle, Dr.Ron Paul, Dr. Judy Mikovitz and Dr. Rashid Buttar, all of whom strongly object to Dr. Fauci’s handling of this crisis, to advise him on the best steps to take moving forward. Gates has a legacy of vaccine death following him from Africa to India; why should anybody trust him to make a safe and effective vaccine for this bioengineered virus?
I will say again: if Trump is with the patriots in this country, how could he possibly still trust Dr. Fauci; and Is he unaware of “Vaccine Bill” Gates’s track record? Who is advising the President on this COVID-19 farce? Why does he think anybody with a pea-size brain is buying anything Dr. Fauci says at this point? Does he not know we’re wondering why he hasn’t already fired Dr. Fauci who frankly has been wrong about everything?
We can’t wait much longer. Dairy farmers are dumping tens of thousands of gallons of milk every week, farmers are forced to destroy thousands of acres of crops. Tyson Food’s President said the US food chain is in danger of breaking down and shortages and higher prices are on the horizon as 10 Pork, Beef, and Chicken plants are shutting down across the country as I write this.
Americans are currently experiencing living in a soft police state. If we permanently accept any of these new edicts of control we will never get our country back! Accept nothing less than the freedoms that our forefathers fought to ensure for their children, grandchildren and every future generation of Americans.

Here’s why,
DOWJ and SP major companies aren’t completely reliant on people going outside, APPL will continue to sell through online retail and they have increasingly moved towards subscription based services which will have high quarterly profits. Amazon is a company completely reliant on people being lazy and not going outside and they are a massive part of the SP, in fact Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Facebook make up a little under 25% according to CNBC as of January 27, 2020. This means that a majority of the SP doesn’t give a fuck if the world is falling apart as long as people subscribe and continue buying technology to jerk off with. (Fun fact Friend Finders ticker is FFN if you wanna YOLO that) Unemployment doesn’t matter, correlation doesn’t equal causation. People will tell you that high unemployment rates come with a market crash and yes that is necessarily true, but that doesn’t mean that unemployment causes financial crisis, I would argue that it is a byproduct rather than an indication of financial ruin. Also Unemployment is at record highs not because of incorrect valuation of stocks not because of shitty subprime loans, it’s at a record high because people can’t work because of the virus. This record high unemployment rate will go down. The Treasury is a whore. You put enough money into an economy it will run forever. Adding to the fact that it gets written off as federal spending our budget and other items don’t drop. Our GDP will drop a little but the Treasury can hold the economy up on his back.

Authored by Mike Robinson via 21stCenturyWire.com,
Last Wednesday, during the daily UK Government Coronavirus livestream, the head of the British Army, General Sir Nick Carter, bragged:
We’ve been involved with the Cabinet Office Rapid Response Unit, with our 77th Brigade helping to quash rumours from misinformation, but also to counter disinformation. Between three and four thousand of our people have been involved, with around twenty thousand available the whole time at high readiness.
To understand the implications of this statement, we have to go back to 2018, when Carter gave a speech to the Royal United Services Institute.
“In our 77th Brigade,” he said, “… we have got some remarkable talent when it comes to social media, production design, and indeed Arabic poetry. Those sorts of skills we can’t afford to retain in the Regular component but they are the means of us delivering capability in a much more imaginative way than we might have been able to do in the past.”
77th Brigade
Previously known as the ‘Security Assistance Group’, 77th Brigade was stood up in 2015 as part of ‘Army 2020’. The Security Assistance Group had been established following the amalgamation of the Media Operations Group, 15 Psychological Operations Group, Security Capacity Building Team, and the Military Stabilisation and Support Group.
77th Brigade is described on their website as being about ‘information and outreach’. But what does that mean? General Carter again:
We also, though, need to continue to improve our ability to fight on this new battlefield, and I think it’s important that we build on the excellent foundation we’ve created for Information Warfare through our 77th Brigade, which is now giving us the capability to compete in the war of narratives at the tactical level. [Emphasis mine]
It is in this context, then, that Carter’s words from last week’s livestream should be viewed. Carter has acknowledged that the British military is waging war on a section of its own population.
‘Rapid Response Unit’
Carter mentioned working with the Cabinet Office’s ‘Rapid Response Unit’. Established in April 2018 and also known as the ‘fake news unit’, the Rapid Response Unit was given an initial six months’ funding. It brought together a “team of analysts, data scientists and media and digital experts,” armed with cutting-edge software, to “work round the clock to monitor online breaking news stories and social media discussion.”
According to the RRU’s head, Alex Aiken:
We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
The unit’s round the clock monitoring service has identified several stories of concern during the pilot, ranging from the chemical weapons attack in Syria to domestic stories relating to the NHS and crime. For example, following the Syria airstrikes, the unit identified that a number of false narratives from alternative news sources were gaining traction online. These “alt-news” sources are biased and rely on sensationalism rather than facts to pique readers’ interest. Due to the way that search engine algorithms work, when people searched for information on the strikes, these unreliable sources were appearing above official UK government information. In fact, no government information was appearing on the first 15 pages of Google results. We know that search is an excellent indicator of intention. It can reflect bias in information received from elsewhere. The unit therefore ensured those using search terms that indicated bias – such as ‘false flag’ – were presented with factual information on the UK’s response. The RRU improved the ranking from below 200 to number 1 within a matter of hours.
The Rapid Response Unit was given permanent funding in February 2019.
Three months following the establishment of the Rapid Response Unit, Theresa May attended the G7 summit in Quebec, Canada.
There she announced the establishment of “a new Rapid Response Mechanism“, following Britain’s proposal for “a new, more formalised approach to tackling foreign interference across the G7” at the G7 Foreign Minister’s meeting the previous month.
The agreement sends “a strong message that interference by Russia and other foreign states would not be tolerated,” she said.
“The Rapid Response Mechanism,” she continued, “will support preventative and protective cooperation between G7 countries, as well as post-incident responses”, including:
Co-ordinated attribution of hostile activity
Joint work to assert a common narrative and response
The UK government’s Rapid Response, then, is to create international agreement on a common narrative (via the ‘mechanism’), and then wage an information war on its own people to make sure that narrative is protected in the media (via the ‘unit’).

Evidence May Be Emerging That Confirms COVID Deaths Are Not Misrepresented, Count May Be Lower Than In Reality

The death tolls this year are outpacing the number of dead from the previous years .
How is this possible if they are faking the deaths ?

The death tolls this year are outpacing the number of dead from the previous years.
How is this possible if they are faking the deaths?

Federal data released this week shows that the number of deaths recorded in the U.S. this year is higher than normal, outpacing deaths attributed to COVID-19 in states that have been hit hardest by the virus.
The data provides the first look at death trends this year across the country and offers more evidence that the official tally of coronavirus deaths is low.
The phenomenon is pronounced in states with some of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks.

New York City’s population density is off the charts compared with the rest of the U.S., as is its usage of mass transit. A map of COVID-19’s lethality maps fairly neatly onto the subway map, with infections increasing for the lengthiest commutes. The metropolis is especially vulnerable to infectious disease, as its epidemiologists are well aware. Yet on March 2, de Blasio urged New Yorkers in a tweet to go out on the town. On March 10, de Blasio said on MSNBC, “If you’re under 50 and you’re healthy, which is most New Yorkers, there’s very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu. And transmission is not that easy.” On March 11, the day Seattle closed its schools, de Blasio said in a press conference, “If you are not sick, if you are not in the vulnerable category, you should be going about your life.” De Blasio didn’t acknowledge until April 3 that asymptomatic transmission was taking place, claiming he had learned this in the last two days. It had been 63 days since Anthony Fauci declared that asymptomatic transmission was certainly happening.

Read the whole thing.
Of course, there’s plenty of blame to go around: Cuomo orders NYC subway trains sanitized every night.

At his daily coronavirus briefing, Cuomo was discussing the homeless people in the subways and brandishing a copy of the New York Daily News that showed pictures of the homeless, then stated, “That is disgusting, what is happening on those subway cars. It’s disrespectful to the essential workers who need to ride the subway system,” as The Gothamist reported. Cuomo added, “We have to do better than that, and we will.” The Gothamist noted that Transport Workers Union Local 100 President Tony Utano stated, “Mayor de Blasio has to direct the police to escort the mentally ill and the homeless out of the system. This is a life-and-death situation, not a quality of life issue.”
And then there’s Fredo: CNN host Chris Cuomo’s coronavirus quarantine timeline scrutinized.
The “Cuomo Prime Time” namesake said he was “past quarantine” on April 12, the day of the encounter with the bicyclist, but that same day his wife had blogged that he had a “100 fever in afternoon and evening.” The encounter also occurred at an unfinished construction site that Cuomo owns, miles from his posh Hamptons residence where he was quarantined. Cuomo even told CNN viewers on April 13 that he couldn’t shake his fever. Unfortunately, other members of Cuomo’s immediate family have said they tested positive for coronavirus following the April 12 incident. Meanwhile, Cuomo now claims he was “past quarantine” on April 12, but over one week later he staged a dramatic “official reentry” into society after recovering from coronavirus. The video was labeled his “Brian Williams Iraq moment” after critics claimed he wasn’t being truthful because he had already admitted that the Easter Sunday altercation took place outside his second property. Cuomo’s so-called “emergence” was extensively mocked on social media and continued to raise eyebrows when his colleague, CNN’s in-house media critic Brian Stelter, included the controversial video in his nightly media industry newsletter.
Exit question: “So when you ‘left your basement for the first time’ CNN was lying?”
Perhaps this article in Hollywood Reporter headlined “‘It’s Good TV:’ CNN’s High-Drama Coverage of the Pandemic Hits Close to Home” provides the answer: “But another current CNN employee who spoke with THR criticized Cuomo’s appearances, particularly the dramatic moment last Monday when he was filmed leaving the basement where he was quarantined to reunite with his family, as ‘reality TV.’ ‘Him coming out of the quarantine with the cameras there, that’s all Jeff Zucker reality TV, and that screams Zucker,’ the person says, referring to the network president who brought The Apprentice to NBC and helped make Trump a star.”

I think Linker has it exactly right. If you have forgotten about how enraged the Right was over the way the Democrats and their media allies treated Brett Kavanaugh, you may be certain that conservatives haven’t. (I wrote about it a lot back then — see here, for example — and I made it clear that I did not know whether or not Kavanaugh assaulted Ford on that night over thirty years ago; what I objected to was the kangaroo court assault on Kavanaugh by tribal ideologues of the Left. This stuff is primal with us conservatives. We saw the way the Democrats and the media treated Kavanaugh, and we saw that they could and would do that to any one of us.
If I were a Republican operative, I would start making the Biden-centered ads now about the #MeToo hypocrites in the Democratic Party. As Linker says, this is not a matter of pointing out that Biden is less of a sexual creep than Trump. That’s not what’s at stake here.
So, let me throw it to the room: if Biden is persuaded to step down before the Democratic convention, who should replace him? Who will replace him?

Over the full decade, the coronavirus recession is projected to add nearly $8 trillion to the national debt, pushing the debt held by the public to $41 trillion within a decade, or 128% of the economy. This would exceed the national debt at the height of World War II. Although that war ended before the debt could rise further, the expanding Social Security and Medicare shortfalls will keep the current debt increasing.

The $8 trillion coronavirus tab represents as much new borrowing as Washington had been projected to cover in the next six years. That essentially moves up the previous projections of the federal debt by six years and gives lawmakers six years less to avert a potential debt crisis in which rising debt and interest costs would overwhelm Washington’s ability to tax or borrow. As soon as the economy recovers, lawmakers will face pressure to get America’s fiscal house in order.

The United States Oil Fund (USO), the world’s most popular exchange-traded fund linked to crude oil prices, was sitting on US$725.5 million in unrealized losses on futures as of the end of March 2020, the fund said in an SEC filing this week.
The fund, one of the most popular oil-tracking ETFs for retail investors, was one of the reasons behind the historic decline in May WTI futures at the start of last week. In the days leading up to May WTI futures going negative, the USO fund existed its May positions by rolling it into the June and July contracts. The switch into the larger June contract only added to the number of total paper barrels in the market, not to mention that the June contract will expire at a time when even less storage is expected to be available.

According to the fund’s monthly account statement to the SEC from this week, the USO booked a realized loss on futures of US$466.5 million as of March 31, 2020.

According to Reuters estimates, the USO’s return year to date is -83 percent.
On Monday, the USO crashed oil markets again, after it said it planned to sell off all of its WTI contracts for June delivery—that’s all its front-month contracts.
