  • We are Protesting Tyranny

    Fear is never an acceptable excuse for violating the rights of Americans as a whole. Very soon, people will go from fear to despair to desperation if the economy is not opened back up soon.

    • We are not protesting social distancing.
    • We are protesting government overreach and an unnecessary burden on our economy.
    • We are protesting a citation at a yard sale, held outdoors with more social distancing than Walmart.
    • We are protesting moms and dads getting handcuffed for playing at parks with their kids.
    • We are protesting lone fisherman being ticketed for providing food for their families, simply because the boat has a motor.
    • We are protesting threats of citations given during church service held in a parking lot, each family in their own cars.
    • We are protesting shopping for clothes at Target & Walmart but not at smaller retailers.
    • We are protesting the unnecessary closure that is crippling small, seasonal businesses in our state.
    • We are protesting support group meetings, churches and parks, and playgrounds.

    We are protesting the silencing of civilian voices in our democratic process. Don’t get it twisted. We are protesting tyranny, not caution.

    Caution is advisable. But we can do that with businesses open. We’re all doing it right now. At gas stations, at grocery stores, anywhere we go in public.


    Those who want to protect themselves, can wear masks and gloves and sanitize and disinfect to their heart’s content.


    But nobody, not even the government has the right to tell someone else what they have to wear, where they can and can’t go, what they can and can’t buy, etc.

    We never agreed to be governed in this manner. And those of us protesting do not intend to start now.

    Explain to me how subjugating your fellow man, makes you safer but doesn’t actually MAKE you safer.

    • Does closing some businesses, magically make people stay 6 feet apart at the stores that are still open? Nope. 
    • Does someone not wearing a mask or gloves, magically nullify your mask or gloves? That’s totally not how PPE works, so no.
    •  Does someone in their car, risk contaminating you, in your car? Also no.
    • Subjugating our fellow citizens does not actually make anyone safer. It just makes people FEEL safer.

    People are losing their rights so others can feel safer…
    Keep YOURSELF safe. But don’t give up all your rights to the government to do it. Look at other countries. When you want those rights back, you literally may have to die to get them back.

  • The Cure is Worse Than the Disease

    On March 25th, when the governor announced that all non-essential businesses must close, at first, we were angry. Then as the days went on, we became worried about the safety of our family and community. We were following various sources of the news, and the reported death toll and knew that we made the right decision to close.

    The federal government and SBA were making it seem as though they were going to quickly support small businesses, but no such thing happened. Funds quickly ran out; large businesses were taking money that was meant for the small businesses. There were so many hurdles placed in between the small businesses and disaster relief funding that we were unable to obtain the funds necessary to maintain our lease and utilities.

    Rather than continuing to rely on the government we went out and FOUND WORK….and worked enough to keep the “doors open” but the doors remained closed. We paid for our March and April lease, yet the doors were closed.

    We are now expected to pay for May, but unless the doors are open, we will not make it past that point.

    Over the past 30 days, we have watched the cure become far worse than the disease.

    • Small businesses are dropping like flies.
    •  The media reports data that is inaccurate at best, purposely overblown to justify government overreach.
    • Death rates have been inaccurately reported, and the “leaders” have admitted it.
    • Our food supply has been threatened.
    • Medical procedures that ARE IMPORTANT to the recipients receiving them have been postponed or canceled.
    • Religious freedom has been stripped.
    • Medical freedom has been stripped.
    • We can stand in line at Walmart with masks and gloves on but can’t take a walk through the forest without being fined or ARRESTED. Sounds insane.
    • Suddenly mandatory vaccines for the NATION are a proposed solution by Bill Gates…..have fun with that one. Don’t forget to get chipped.  
    • Struggling families are being confronted with starvation, loss of education, homelessness, domestic violence, suicide, and depression just to name a few.

    A New Normal?

    In the beginning, we complied. We did the whole “stay home and save lives,” thing. We washed our hands, used hand sanitizer, put on a face mask to run into the store for a gallon of milk…but it has become apparat that this is no longer about our health.

    The health of our fellow citizens is declining rapidly for various reasons yet we’re still being told: “we’re saving lives.”


    We have an incredible amount of respect for the medical community who have been on the front lines of this virus. We have many family members who are a part of the medical community…nurses, doctors, directors, so we understand their viewpoints and respect what they have seen/done/been through.

    This does not justify continuing to watch our state self-destruct.

    We have been through hell and back to obtain and maintain this business. As a whole…..our crew has been suffering from some serious personal matters prior to COVID. Every one of us. We would joke pre-COVID about how we were all falling apart and how life was curb-stomping us.

    Then this. This has made us all stronger. It has slowed us all down and given us a chance to evaluate our life paths and how we will get back on track.

    We refuse to allow COVID to be the reason that we don’t make it.

    We have made the decision to open on May 1st, 2020 because if we don’t, we will not be around for too much longer.

    We appreciate the love and support we have received from the community, as we could not be successful without each and every one of you.

    We are in no way trying to offend or upset anyone with this decision, but we refuse to set ourselves on fire to keep the government warm.

  • Kootenai Health Director Threatens to Withhold Treatment from those Who Disagree Politically

    Dr. Robert Burnett the Director of Surgical Services at Kootenai Health is proposing an alarming violation of medical ethics in his publish opinion post at the Bonner County Daily Bee. He is threatening to withhold treatment from individuals who politically disagree with him. This is extremely unethical and in doing so, likely criminal.

    Threatening to withhold health care from anyone, singling out and threatening public officials by directing staff at Kootenai Medical Center and encouraging “all of his co-workers” to ensure care is not provided should be grounds for termination of Burnett and litigation for Burnett and KMC.

    “I realize that the pandemic is not much of a concern to those uneducated people who believe this threat is a “hoax” or “overblown,” but I want you to know that in the unlikely but possible event that either you or Sheriff Wheeler contract the coronavirus, and in the less likely event that you will require hospitalization, and even less likely but possible event that you would require a ventilator, that I, and all of my co-workers take comfort in knowing that, because of your behavior, you have essentially relinquished your claim to any of these potentially scare resources. It’s probably for the better that a ventilator go to a health care provider anyway,”

    Here’s the opinion piece written by BY Dr. BURNETT

    Opinions are opinions but oaths are oaths.  I am disgusted at the recent comments made by Dr. Robert Burnett, Director of Surgical Services, Kootenai Heart Health Center.   While Burnett is certainly entitled to his own opinions based on his knowledge of medicine, so are Rep. Heather Scott and Sheriff Daryl Wheeler, based on their knowledge of lawmaking and law enforcement.  But Burnett put his bloated arrogance on full display as he blatantly violated, in writing, the Hippocratic Oath he took to graduate medical school and become a licensed doctor in Idaho or anywhere in the USA.

    HFI’s Response to Dr. Burnett

    Fact: While there is no doubt people are ill and many have died, Coronavirus has proven to be far less deadly than authorities have warned. Moreover, there is debate about whether the virus has been properly identified as Koch’s Postulates, protocols used since the 19th century to identify and determine the pathogenicity of an infectious agent have not been met. Additionally, according to the inventor of the PCR test, the test being used to putatively identify the virus the PCR test cannot be used to diagnose. Although it can identify a minute amount of genetic material such as a virus, it does not prove that that genetic material causes any disease nor that sufficient quantities of that material are present in numbers large enough to cause disease.

    Fact: The curves for cases were declining before stay at home orders were put into place. The orders are not responsible for any declines being observed. https://www.professorhinkley.com/blog/why-is-oregon-still-on-lock-down

    Fact: CDC is not a public entity and takes money from the pharmaceutical industry. 

    https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/cdc-is-a-private-organization-not-government/   
    Moreover, CDC grossly exaggerated the swine flu outbreak in 2009 and cannot be trusted. 

    https://greatergoodmovie.org/news-views/no-its-the-medical-military-industrial-complex/

    Fact: Models are not facts, they’re models. They are projections based on a myriad of assumptions that may be wrong as evidenced by the UK’s Imperial College of London whose models on coronavirus deaths were off by a factor of 50 when one excludes those who would have died during the year in any event. https://www.dailywire.com/news/epidemiologist-behind-highly-cited-coronavirus-model-admits-he-was-wrong-drastically-revises-model


    Fact: No punch of any sort reached your face. We are all exposed to trillions of bugs in every moment of every day. What determines whether someone falls ill or suffers complications from an illness relates to how well nourished they are, how well-rested, how much stress, whether they exercise. No one touched you and you alone are responsible for taking care of your immune system.


    People who disagree about the dangers of coronavirus or any virus are not uneducated simply because they disagree with you.

  • Letter to Governor Little

    Health Freedom Idaho is a coalition of Idaho residents, practitioners, and professionals that inform, educate, and advocate for the natural, unalienable God-given rights of all people. Every person is free to choose how to get and stay well. We are committed to promoting and preserving for the people of Idaho the right to access the healing and health care treatment, information, and services of their choice which they determine necessary for their own health and happiness. We are committed to standing for liberty. We are committed to upholding and defending the Idaho and United States Constitutions. We are resolved to lead the people in defending and retaining their freedoms.

    The recent ‘discovery’ and narrative of an alleged new virus making its way to Idaho has created an environment of fear and an uncharted landscape of government overreach in the lives of all Idahoans. This interruption in the education, business, and social interaction of Idahoans will not be tolerated. While some may believe that the unlawful destruction of our way of life may ‘slow the spread’ or ‘protect the susceptible,’ this is simply not accurate and not appropriate. Humans encounter trillions and trillions of pathogens – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in our world every minute of every day. Nature brilliantly designed our bodies with amazing immune systems to combat these earthly cohabitants of ours.

    Our natural rights are not subject to claims of suspension for ‘safety’ purposes. UNALIENABLE means these rights are inherently ours. These rights cannot, and will not, be suspended or infringed upon ever, for any reason. This is non-negotiable. 

    Idahoans who personally feel concerned about this or any pathogen certainly have the right to restrict their own movement, self-quarantine, avoid social interaction, or take any other measure of self-induced restriction they deem necessary for their own safety. What may not happen is government-forced restriction on the people, whether state or federal. It is up to each and every person to keep themselves well, not the state. We understand that it is our job as individuals to get adequate nutrition, sleep, relaxation, exercise, and fresh air. It is not up to the state, or any other Idahoan, to police what another does, nor to protect them. The state does not have the right to dictate the way Idahoans lead their lives, nor to force some Idahoans to protect others for a theoretical threat. Every person is sovereign, and we as a state are sovereign. We will not allow the violation of our sovereignty. 

    Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, said, and we echo this sentiment, “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” The people of Idaho will not be enslaved. There is nothing more dangerous than the destruction of our liberty, and we will not stand for it. 

    Health Freedom Idaho, and all that stand with us, demand that our God-given rights be respected. We assert that every single business in our state is essential, and that they shall be respected as such. Health freedom and all freedom includes the right to human interaction, happiness, unrestricted movement, and unrestricted social interaction. Peaceful assembly is a fundamental right, and it shall not be infringed.

    We expect and demand access to every single item on the market. Government will not be permitted to decide what products are and are not available for sale or trade. We will not stand for it. 

    We expect you, Governor Little, as well as all state, city, and county executive departments, state, city, and county employees, the Representatives and Senators that comprise our Legislature, our law enforcement, our Judges and our courts to understand, respect, and uphold our God-given rights. We expect you to immediately rescind any and all orders that infringe on these rights. We will allow no less. You have no authority to have put these orders in place and they shall be removed immediately.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and all other federal departments have no authority in our sovereign state. We will not allow their influence or recommendations to lead to the suspension or destruction of our rights. 

    Governor Little, you took an oath to uphold the Idaho Constitution and United States Constitution against all enemies. The enemy now is those who seek to use fear to destroy unalienable rights. Idaho does not and will not stand for this, under any circumstances. We demand you rescind all restrictions on our rights immediately. 

    Sincerely,

    Sarah Clendenon, Co-Executive Director
    Miste Gardner-Karlfeldt, Co-Executive Director

  • Governor Unconstitutionally Suspends Idaho Code – Elections

    While the death of 13 individuals is tragic, it does not warrant a violation of our state constitution! The Governor changed election procedures suspending the statute with an ’emergency proclamation’.

    Governor Little took it upon himself to modify his emergency declaration to amend, suspend, and modify sections of Idaho code. Instead of calling the Legislature back in an emergency session, he took it upon himself to suspend state code which is not Constitutionally permitted.

    ACTION NEEDED! #5 Minute Activist


    CALL and EMAIL YOUR LEGISLATORS about the Governor bypassing the legislative process.

    We Want our Representatives to speak for us, as the Constitution described.

    TALKING POINTS

    What constitutional authority does the Governor have to suspend rules pertaining to elections?
    Why wasn’t a special legislative session called to have representative votes on the matter?
    Does the Governor have the authority to grant power to the Secretary of State? What else can a citizen do to help protect and preserve the Constitution?
    How can we protect the electoral process from fraud? (see article below by Greg Pruett

    ACTION NEEDED!

    VOTE
    (absentee ballot)

    Now MORE THAN EVER, we need to make sure to vote in FREEDOM MINDED CONSTITUTIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, SENATORS and SHERIFFS. Our Primary Election in May 2020 will be by mail-in ballot or absentee ballot only.

    The Idaho Statesman has a good article about this change to the election process.

    The Idaho Secretary of State’s Office will be sending — within the next 10 to 14 days — an absentee ballot request form to all registered voters who have not yet requested the form. Once the form is completed, signed and returned, a ballot will be mailed to the voter, Secretary of State Lawerence Denney explained during a news conference Wednesday.

    The important thing to remember is that you should Request your Absentee Ballot TODAY!

    This Shouldn’t Be Permanent Change!

    Greg Pruett makes some good points about Mail-In Ballots. In his article Don’t Let Mail-In Ballots Become Permanent

    Greg says,

    “…voting through the mail is ripe for abuse. States already deal with voter fraud issues for in-person voting. Can you imagine not having to worry about showing up at the polls at all?

    The Heritage Foundation has released a report detailing some of the voter fraud convictions across the country. Ten of those cases are from Idaho!

    He brings up some very valid concerns about absentee voting.

    How does mail-in (absentee) voting work in Idaho? 

    So, here is my experience so far with Idaho’s “absentee” process which is how we’ll all vote this May.

    The interesting part is that to request my ballot I filled out a form from the Canyon County Elections Office.

    However, no identification was required to request the ballot. I simply filled out the form and dropped it through the “Mail” slot on the wall of the building.

    Now, I am on a list of people who have “Requested” a ballot.

    This information is all public record. For the election, many candidates get the “Absentee Request” list so they know which voters to reach out to.

    Therefore, my address is public record.

    So, if someone with nefarious intentions were to find out when the ballots got sent out, they could check my mail for my ballot.

    Once they retrieve my ballot, they can fill it out and send it back without me ever knowing what happened!

    Now, normally only a set number of people vote “absentee” so the ability to do this is somewhat limited.

    But, if every person in the state votes through the mail in every election, we may run into bigger fraud cases.

    Perhaps some clerk angry with a particular party decides to “dump” a bunch of ballots and never sends them out.

    Identification and verification of the process are crucial to protecting our sacred right to vote.

    This is yet another thing to bring up with your Legislator when you reach out to talk to them about your concerns! Find your Legislators here: https://legislature.idaho.gov/legislators/whosmylegislator/

  • Never Has So Little Done So Much Harm to So Many

    The Latest Coronavirus Attack Is A Cover for Restricting Our Health Freedoms

    Article by Scott C. Tips, NHF President

    The facts show that the virus will, at most, kill fewer of us than those diseases we have seen around us for our entire lives;

    but if the political plans that are being put in place on the back of this fictitious coronavirus “crisis” are allowed to continue to completion, then all of us will suffer from a far less healthy and more restrictive future.

    There is one thing that you can count upon: Just as COVID-19 was preceded by the Zika, Ebola, Swine flu, Bird flu, and other “End of the World” viruses, COVID-19 will itself be followed by yet another, as-yet-unnamed virus.

    It is important that none of us are stampeded into being the obedient slaves that the massive fear-mongering campaign waged by the Deep-State media and government would have us become.


    Mortality Rate?

                In February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) – never known for its accuracy or consistency – declared a “Pandemic” for the coronavirus and claimed that the mortality rate for the novel coronavirus disease now designated as COVID-19 was 3.4%, while that for the seasonal flu was 0.1%. Of course, the news media ran with those numbers and splashed scary headlines across the World stating how much more deadly this new virus was than the seasonal flu. The problem with WHO’s statement, however, was that they applied two different formulas for the two viruses. For the COVID-19 disease, for example, they simply didn’t count any of the mild cases of COVID-19 that resolved themselves; yet, they did with the seasonal flu.

    If WHO were to apply the same formula to seasonal flu cases as it did with COVID-19 cases, then the seasonal flu is revealed more truthfully as being twice as deadly as the COVID-19 virus.

                In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) itself has stated that for the 2019-2020 flu season, 22,000 Americans have died of the seasonal flu while approximately 1,000 Americans have died to date of the COVID-19 flu. Even applying reported worldwide figures for COVID-19 deaths, we have under 7,000 deaths. That is still tragic, but the worldwide COVID-19 figures are far less worldwide than are the seasonal flu deaths in America alone! Not to even mention that the European death rates are lower so far in 2020 than those in 2017.

    And for all of this, the U.S. and State and local governments are willing to trash the American economy and destroy the domestic and international financial markets, most of which are based on the U.S. dollar? And why now? We must ask ourselves these questions because this drastic approach was not adopted during earlier epidemics with far more deadly viruses. So, why now?

               COVID-19 is the weakest of the seven serious flus and diseases (West Nile, SARS, Bird flu, Swine flu, Ebola, and Zika) we have had since 2002. So far, as mentioned above, it is even less deadly – by one-half – than the ordinary seasonal flu. Bob Luddy, writing for The American Spectator, went even further, “This season the flu has killed 22,000 Americans versus 388 dead from COVID-19. This is the hard data available. There has been no national discussion about the flu but complete panic on the coronavirus.”

               John P. A. Ioannidis, a Stanford University Medical School professor of medicine and epidemiology, has reasonably argued that we are making decisions without reasonable data, so it is impossible to make claims about any fatality rate, actual or future. Dr. Ioannidis thinks that when the dust settles and an accurate count is made the true mortality rate for COVID-19 could be five times lower, coming in at 0.025% or maybe 0.625% but certainly not the alarmist WHO figure of 3.4%. “Patients,” he writes, “who have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with severe symptoms and bad outcomes. As most health systems have limited testing capacity, selection bias may even worsen in the near future.”

               Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, another Stanford University professor of medicine, concurs when he says, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal, “An epidemic seed on January 1st implies that by March 9 about six million people in the U.S. would have been infected. As of March 23 … there were 499 Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. … that’s a mortality rate of 0.01%.” He laments the fact that there have been no studies done to accurately assess the actual Measured Case Fatality Rate.

                Many have pointed to Italy and its death rates from the coronavirus as proof positive for the deadliness of this latest epidemic. But according to Italian officials, 99% of those who died had other illnesses that predisposed them to die. In fact, the average age of those who died is 79.5 years (some say 81-83 years)! Keep in mind that Italy ranks fifth in the World for having the highest median age (the United States ranks 61st).

                As if that were not enough to put a nail in the coffin of the mythically high Italian death rate from COVID-19, a report from Italy’s National Institute of Health shows that up to 88% of Italy’s alleged COVID-19 deaths could be misattributed. The Report states, “the way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus … On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three.”

               Moreover, if you look at the Italian government’s own figures for mortality, you will see a steady rise in deaths there since 2006! Well, we all know that the current “crisis” just started in 2020, so another factor must have been causing the rapid rise in deaths in Italy.

              Pre-existing health conditions do matter greatly in assessing cause of death. Only three victims at that time did not have any other conditions. Health writer and researcher Bill Sardi has studied this latest virus extensively and thinks that deaths attributed to COVID-19 could more properly be attributed to tuberculosis, which kills 1.7 million people worldwide every year. Tuberculosis is far more deadly than COVID-19, which could be nothing more than an opportunistic virus riding on the coattails of the TB mycobacterium.

              The National Health Federation’s Chairman, David Noakes, agrees, “Today on the 27th of March there are a total of a tiny 759 deaths [in the UK] from COVID-19 – but even this is a lie. These are people who died with COVID-19, but most did not die of it. Almost everyone had other diseases that caused their death.”

              German virologist Dr. Hendrik Streeck supports Noakes when he said that COVID-19 is unlikely to increase overall mortality in Germany, which is normally at 2,500 people per day. Streeck cites an example of a 78-year-old man who died of heart failure, but who was subsequently tested positive for the virus and thus included in the COVID-19 death statistics! This example is backed by the Director of the German Public Health Institute (the Robert Koch Institute or RKI), who admitted that all deaths in which a person also tests positive for the coronavirus are counted as COVID-19 deaths, even if those persons actually died from another cause.

               Additionally, in the RKI chart below, one can easily see that the number of cases of acute respiratory diseases (“Akute Atemwegserkrankungen”), as of March 20, 2020 (“Kalenderwoche” 12 to 13), have plunged, not increased.

              In late March 2020, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, wrote an open letter to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel asking her several questions, challenging the fake news on mortality rates from the coronavirus, and questioning the need for a drastic lockdown of businesses and Germans. The original letter is in German.

               Moreover, acknowledging reality, on March 19, 2020, the UK’s Public Health England and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) downgraded COVID-19 from a “High Consequence Infectious Disease” to one with low mortality rate. This is in agreement with NHF Vice Chairman Dr. Bradford Weeks’ assessment that COVID-19 is not any more dangerous than a normal flu.

               Then, on March 26th, an article appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, co-authored by the now-celebrity-status Dr. Anthony Fauci, which says in pertinent part:

    If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively. “

               This is all supported by the new mortality figures coming out of China. A new epidemiological study concludes that the fatality of COVID-19, even in the City of Wuhan, was only 0.04% to 0.12% and thus much lower than that of seasonal flu, which has a mortality rate of approximately 0.1%.

               Yet, if we were to believe the constant alarms and fear spewed out by the mainstream media, then we would think – as most people have been led to believe – that huge numbers of people all over the World are dying from the COVID-19 disease. That is simply not true, as Dr. John Lee makes clear in his Spectator article. Our controlled media, however, has its marching orders and it is not about to let something like the truth stand in its way. The most recent example of the mass-media’s lies can be found in CBS News’ outright false report that New York City hospitals are overwhelmed by coronavirus cases. Not having any such photos to use, CBS News simply aired a Sky News photo of an Italian hospital instead.

              The truth is that American hospitals are not overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases. Unfortunately, with the mainstream media flat out lying to us all about how “overflowing” with coronavirus cases these hospitals are, it has taken citizen journalists to ferret out the truth.

               To what extent will we put up with the blatant lies coming from the government and the news media? Checking the statistics out of the European Monitoring of Excess Mortality for Public Health Action website (EuroMomo), even the untrained, amateur eye can see that the death rate so far has been lower than in previous years! Are we willing to destroy countries around the World over a bad case of the flu?

    No Accurate Test

              Besides, the so-called COVID-19 test is faulty with many false positivesFalse positives for the COVID-19 coronavirus can be up to 50%. Others say up to 75%. This is because the current standard PCR test only looks at an array of antibodies and not for a virus specifically. Many of the antibodies screened for in the positive “check-off” list are common to other influenza virus strains. If enough check-marks appear on the list, then the doctors call it a positive result. So, naturally any antibodies that show up post-immunization from a vaccine made up of inert influenza strains will show a positive result. Recall that Italy had mandatory vaccinations prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. This would definitely skew results, especially the death toll.

              Noakes also aptly observed that “There is no agreed test for Covid-19. The usual one is a PCR test for pneumonia. If you have it, they now reclassify it as COVID-19. They may reclassify all of this year’s 17,000 flu deaths as COVID-19 deaths. The science stinks.”

               What we are looking at here is a worldwide situation where none of the authorities really have a clue as to what is going on or how to deal with it and yet they are making life-and-death decisions that affect billions, shutting down businesses right and left, throwing people out of work, halting international air travel, and shuttering people in their own homes. It is as if someone gave machine guns to a troop of chimpanzees!

               Peter Hitchens, writing for The Daily Mail on March 14, 2020, agreed when he wrote, “Epidemic disasters have been predicted many times before and have not been anything like as bad as feared. The former editor of The Times, Sir Simon Jenkins, recently listed these unfulfilled scares: bird flu did not kill the predicted millions in 1997. In 1999, it was Mad Cow Disease and its human variant, vCJD, which was predicted to kill half a million. Fewer than 200 in fact died from it in the UK. The first SARS outbreak of 2003 was reported as having ‘a 25 per cent chance of killing tens of millions’ and being ‘worse than AIDS.’ In 2006, another bout of bird flu was declared ‘the first pandemic of the 21st Century.’ There were similar warnings in 2009, that swine flu could kill 65,000. It did not. The Council of Europe described the hyping of the 2009 pandemic as ‘one of the great medical scandals of the century.’”

               We are being taken for fools with this latest exaggeration. Worse than that, we are being completely sold down the river towards slavery with the loss of not only our health freedoms but our political freedoms as well … all based upon a lie.

    A Bioweapon Gotten Loose?

                Predicted by Dr. Fauci some three years earlier, this “surprise” coronavirus epidemic was perhaps even planned in advance. Consider Event 201, a “pandemic tabletop” event held on October 18, 2019, and sponsored by the  Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum, and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. The Event unfolded in New York City with a simulated coronavirus epidemic very similar to the current one but with a fictitious one originating on Brazilian pig farms.

    The Event hosted such notables as Dr. George Gao (Director of the Chinese version of the CDC), Avril Haines (former CIA Deputy Director), Rear Admiral Stephen Redd (CDC), and Adrian Thomas (VP of Johnson & Johnson), among numerous others. It is no bizarre coincidence that government “drills” and other such staged events happen either on the exact same day as the real event or else shortly before. The 9/11 terrorist drills staged the same day as the attack are just one famous example.

                The Wuhan research lab is just one of many such laboratories that research and develop deadly bioweapons for war. It has the highest security rating for viral research in China. Some critics have implicated the Wuhan facility in creating the kind of coronavirus bioweapon that is evidenced in COVID-19, while others have denied it.

                The 1918 bacterial vaccine experiment at Fort Riley, Kansas (then called Camp Funston) may very well have been the spark that killed 50-100 million people. This pandemic was blamed on the so-called 1918-1919 “Spanish flu”; but in fact between January 21 and June 4, 1918, the U.S. Army permitted the American Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to inject the Institute’s experimental bacterial meningococcal vaccine into thousands of soldiers stationed at Ft. Riley before they shipped out to France and the trenches there. At the end of the war, soldiers brought back home with them the disease that went on to infect many millions more.

                According to a National Institute of Health paper published in 2008, co-authored once again by our very own Dr. Anthony Fauci, bacterial pneumonia was the cause of death in at least 92.7% of the 1918-1919 autopsies reviewed. The researchers reviewed more than 9,000 autopsies, and “there were no negative (bacterial) lung culture results.” In fact, the paper stated that “in the 68 higher-quality autopsy series, in which the possibility of unreported negative cultures could be excluded, 92.7% of autopsy lung cultures were positive for ≥1 bacterium. … in one study of approximately 9000 subjects who were followed from clinical presentation with influenza to resolution or autopsy, researchers obtained, with sterile technique, cultures of either pneumococci or streptococci from 164 of 167 lung tissue samples.” As Kevin Barry, president of First Freedoms, accurately noted, “That is 98.2%. Bacteria was the killer.” And the World suffered 50-100 million completely unnecessary deaths all because of this experimental vaccine.

                The 1918 experiment was certainly not the first or the last time that the U.S. government tested biological weapons on an unsuspecting American population. On September 20, 1950, a U.S. Navy ship off the California coast used a giant hose to spray a cloud of microbes into the air and into San Francisco’s fog bank. The military was testing how a biological weapon attack would affect the 800,000 residents of the city. This criminal lack of concern for the health of its own citizens and others has been shown time and again, with, for example, the U.S. Army giving smallpox-contaminated blankets to Native Americans, the unconscionable Tuskegee syphilis experiments on African-American males from 1932-1972, and the Ebola-vaccine experiments on West Africans.

             And in the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Lab 257 on Plum Island in the Long Island Sound churned out its own death-dealing poisons. Ostensibly there to protect us, Lab 257 was experimenting with anthrax and other deadly spores. As recounted in Michael Carroll’s book Lab 257,  what was to later become known as Lyme disease had been spawned in that lab. Carelessly left for birds and other animals to pick at, contaminated refuse was piled outside the building. The town of Lyme, Connecticut, only 17.3 miles distant, easily became ground zero for the nationwide, and then worldwide, spread of one of the most insidious diseases to afflict mankind, to this day.

                Nor forget that anthrax, Ebola, smallpox, and other bioweapons were studied and experimented upon in the 1990s at Fort Detrick, Maryland for decades. Anthrax from this lab, some have contended, was used in Iraq and possibly mailed to U.S. congressmen after 9/11. The CDC, however, banned the lab in July 2019 from working any further with anthrax, Ebola, and smallpox until its procedures had improved.

    Dr. Gary Kohls, M.D. reasons that the original COVID-19 outbreak was a result of a weaponized virus. He gives the following reasons, among others, for his suspicion:

    (1) Wuhan, China’s “ground zero” for the virus, was right in the neighborhood of Wuhan’s Level-4 Bioweapons lab;

    (2) America’s premier Level-4 Bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick suddenly and quietly closed down just before the novel, patented, coronavirus epidemic started; and

    (3) Five U.S. soldier-athletes who were in Wuhan last Fall competing at the 2019 World Military Games were afflicted by the coronavirus.

    Given those known factors, Dr. Kohls asks, “aren’t there enough suspicions to at least insist that an unbiased, thorough investigation be done by some agency other than the conflicted Pentagon, the conflicted CDC, the conflicted NIH, the conflicted NIAID, or even the conflicted WHO, into these top-secret Bioweapons labs system.”

    Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning biological warfare and is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois, claims that Chinese scientists may have stolen this virus out of a lab in Winnipeg, where Canada tests many of its biological warfare weapons. He believes the virus then leaked out of a lab in Wuhan (BSL-4). The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is a specially designated WHO research lab and Dr. Boyle claims that the WHO is well aware of what occurred there.

    Regardless of whether COVID-19 was artificially created, bioweapons are perilous weapons of mass destruction, difficult to contain, and lethal to the human race. They serve no legitimate purpose. With all of the harm that has been done so far from the Rockefeller vaccine trials in 1918 to the Lyme Disease release in 1975 to the current coronavirus and other deadly virus strains, it is long since time to end all bioweapons research and labs! They are gross violations of the rules of war and certainly should never be imposed on a country’s own society. Fifty to 100 million deaths are enough.

    Current Government Actions Backfire, Once Again

    The current approach by governments around the World is to lockdown (i.e., quarantine) its citizens, shut down all “non-essential” stores and businesses, limit the size and even the times when citizens and residents can leave their homes, all in a desperate attempt to limit the spread of the virus. These government actions show governments that ironically believe their own fear propaganda at best, while at a cynical worst, these governments are using the COVID-19 “pandemic” to mold the ruling institutions and society into a cold-hearted form that will benefit the Elite at the expense of all of us.

                The mass media adds fuel to the fire with its constant harping on how many doctors and nurses are “afraid” to go to work, how a 16-year-old has died from the COVID-19 virus, and with continually holding up atypical Italy as the poster child of what is about to happen in America too.

    Lost in the shuffle is the economic disaster of unprecedented scale created by government-imposed lockdowns. As one businessman correctly observed, “[b]y May [2020] the economic damage will be so severe, it will cause more harm to families, abused children, and spouses, those who will die untreated because we only provide care for Covid-19. The number of individuals permanently discharged from jobs (never to return) is staggering and will get worse by the hour.”

    Supply chains have been disrupted, business contracts arbitrarily breached, rents left unpaid, unemployment lines increased by millions, and 50% of U.S. consumers are maxed out on their credit cards. The economic and personal damage is not only severe but probably irreparable.

    People forget that their governments are run by ordinary men and women who genuinely lack the insight (as well as market-feedback mechanisms) on what actions to take that will truly benefit the health of their citizens and who rely for their advice, unfortunately, on the very same medical doctors, institutions, and corporations who have become hugely wealthy off of the diseases and ill-health that are conveniently incurable by their methods of treatment.

    Often, their patients live on as their disease is “managed” (some would say “milked”) for all of the money that can be had from the disease. The patients are never cured.

    Former UK Supreme Court justice Lord Sumption recently hit the nail on the head when he said, “Anyone who has studied history will recognize here the classic symptoms of collective hysteria. Hysteria is infectious. We are working ourselves up into a lather in which we exaggerate the threat and stop asking ourselves whether the cure may be worse than the disease.”

    So, with the government-ordered lockdowns, are we any safer from the virus?

    Perhaps in very small groups, but the CDC recently published a paper questioning lockdowns of larger groups of individuals, such as the already health-compromised homeless in recreation centers, which is what Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has ordered. The CDC reports that Japanese data showed that coronavirus transmission was 18.7 times more likely indoors than outdoors. And as the public catches on to these lies, the rewriting of history to support lockdowns becomes more egregious.

    Many agree that stress-producing lockdown measures will kill more people than the COVID-19 virus itself.

    Former Israeli Health Minister Professor Yoram Lass clearly states that the new coronavirus is “less dangerous than the flu” and that lockdown measures will “kill more people than the virus.” Pietro Vernazza, a Swiss infectious-disease specialist, agrees, arguing that these lockdown and other measures are not based on science and should be discarded. He recommends protecting the vulnerable population groups (e.g., the elderly and lung-function compromised) while leaving the economy alone so that it can do its job. And Frank Ulrich Montgomery, the president of the World Doctors Federation, calls the lockdown measures in Italy unreasonable and counterproductive.

    The more one investigates with an open mind, the less confidence one has in our government officials. Sweden could be an exception with its reliance upon two rules: Groups at risk are protected and those people with flu symptoms stay at home. Swedish health authorities think that it is better to track individual cases within the country than to shut everything down. As they put it, “Despite the popular perception, our best hope against the pandemic is continued trade and cooperation across borders. Travel bans, the government wisely states, are mostly “political placebo.”

    Even vaccine advocate Dr. Paul Offit, who is no fan of health freedom, considers the seasonal flu more deadly than the COVID-19 flu, stating “we do not quarantine and we do not cancel meetings for shut down schools, churches, and synagogues from influenza.”

    Dr. Offit wonders why, then, we are treating one type different than the other.

    But what is rarely spoken about, if ever, is how many people actually die from these extreme social, political, and economic restrictions.

    How many people have died from high blood pressure-induced strokes, heart attacks, or even suicide caused by the hysterical, fearmongering news media and headline-grabbing politicians trying desperately to show how “noble” their efforts are? I would estimate that a large number of people are dying or else are seriously harmed by the media-fueled hysteria and constant fear campaign. One of the best, first steps that anyone could take to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus would be to toss their television set out the window.

    Are Vaccines the Answer?

    The mainstream medical community, supported by the news media and government, would have you believe that the “Holy Grail” cure for COVID-19 lies in a magical vaccine. The reality is that any vaccine is a year distant from being put on the market; and any vaccine developed sooner than one year from now will be exceedingly dangerous and unproven. Regardless, in one year, the COVID-19 coronavirus will be history and any efficacious vaccine unnecessary. That does not, however, prevent the mainstream medical community from dangling the promise of a vaccine in front of the population’s eyes. Ignore that empty promise.

    Also, ignore their invitations for you to “protect” yourself by getting the current flu shot. It will not protect you. In fact, hard evidence has shown that it will do the exact opposite! A recent study published in Vaccine, a prestigious, peer-reviewed medical journal, demonstrated that the influenza vaccination may increase the risk of infection from coronavirus by a significant 36% and from the human metapneumovirus by 51%. 

    Really Protect Yourself

                None of the above is to say or suggest that you should treat this virus, or whatever is causing the deaths and illnesses, lightly. 

    Avoid direct exposure as much as possible. But we cannot go through life avoiding potential infection – it is not practical as we are witnessing.

    You can, however, build up and support your immune system with Vitamins A, C, D3, and K2. Take on a regular basis the minerals magnesium (to help activate the Vitamin D3), zinc, and selenium. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet of predominantly whole-plant foods and replenish your gut bacteria with probiotics, sauerkraut, and other such useful foods. Use colloidal silver, lemon juice, elderberry extract, and hydrogen peroxide to kill or neutralize the virus. These are just some of many ways to strengthen your immune system; avoiding fear and stress are perhaps the most important.

    If you do test positive for the virus (and who knows if it is a false positive) and happen to be one of the two percent who cannot easily recover from it as if it were the common cold, then consider treatment with intravenous (IV) Vitamin C at high levels.

    According to Dr. Andrew Saul, the first approved study of IV Vitamin C against COVID-19 began in China and had patients taking 12,000 to 24,000 mg per day of Vitamin C by IV. The supervising doctor, Dr. Cheng, has specifically called for the immediate, therapeutic use of Vitamin C for treating coronavirus (COVID-19) infections. Those patients have all done very well.

    second and third clinical trial of intravenous Vitamin C was announced in China on February 13th and 21st, respectively. In the second study, Dr. Cheng reports that the researchers will give 6,000 mg/day and 12,000 mg/day for moderate and severe cases and that oral Vitamin C might even be included in these studies. Details of the Wuhan Vitamin-C protocol (in English) are posted at: www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n07.shtml.

    In addition, Vitamin C is now being used to prevent and treat COVID-19 in China and in Korea. The protocol is apparently working.

    NHF Advisory Board member Dr. Thomas Levy, MD., J.D. has also written extensively on the use of IV Vitamin C and its general upper-level oral safe use. NHF has published Dr. Levy’s protocol on stopping the virus at the nose and mouth by using tongue scraping, oral washes, and replenishing gut bacteria.

    Dr. Alex Vasquez has published extensively on the use of N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC). Particularly compelling are accounts of high-dose NAC given by IV to save pneumonia patients. Daily maintenance dosages are 600 mg. of NAC, according to Dr. Vasquez’ work in Antiviral Nutrition: Acetyl-cysteine / NAC in the treatment and prevention of pneumonia, influenza.

    “If,” as the 2008 NIH Fauci paper states, “severe pandemic influenza is largely a problem of viral-bacterial copathogenesis, pandemic planning needs to go beyond addressing the viral cause alone (e.g., influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs).” I completely agree.

    Other Immune Supports: Sunshine

    Moreover, with the Northern Hemisphere warming up almost day by day, go outside and soak up some Sun. If you are in the right latitude, the Vitamin D you will create in your body from the Sun’s ultraviolet rays will help protect you. And if you are not, then both the ultraviolet light in tanning beds and the heat in Far Infrared saunas can be helpful as well in taming the coronavirus.

    Immune Support: Zinc

    Other doctors have shown great success in treating the virus with combinations of hydroxychloroquine sulfate, zinc, and Z-pak (azithromycin, an antibiotic). Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, successfully treated some 700 coronavirus patients with complete success. In using this drug-and-supplement combination, Dr. Zelenko saw the symptoms of shortness of breath resolve in four to six hours, while the entire 5-day course of treatment cost only $20.00. Sardi and others think that zinc is one of the keys to boosting one’s immune system enough to fight off viruses such as the COVID-19 coronavirus.

    Kill Pathogens IODINE

    Finally, don’t forget that iodine kills pathogens upon contact. I myself take 12.5 mg of iodine/iodide each day, far more than the laughable RDA for iodine. Consider asking a nutritionally competent physician if you might need more iodine.

    What is the Real Killer Here?

    In order to protect ourselves, we need to know what is the real killer here. Is it a virus or is it something else? Bill Sardi, among others, thinks that it could be a mycobacterium. He notes that the incidence of infection from the COVID-19 coronavirus neatly overlaps in most instances the areas where tuberculosis is most prevalent in the population, observing that the highly infected illegal immigrant population pouring into the Southern Border States are a major source for the recurrence of TB in America.

    He is not alone in thinking this. In an excellent exposé, Sardi publicized scientific researcher Hiroshi Nishiura 2012 study results showing that there were no flu deaths in controls who did not have the tuberculosis bacterium.

    But even with this primary or companion killer bacterium, the deaths from COVID-19, others say, are still at least ten times less than those being reported by government officials and the media.

    All of this noise makes one wonder if this entire crisis was deliberately staged, or deliberately mishandled.

    The Real Goal?

    I have heard many theories about the cause of the current illness. The recent roll-out of 5G wireless (Wuhan, China and Milan, Italy are both hotspots of 5G transmitters, for example) is reported to play a key role in either weakening our immune-system response to any virus, including the coronavirus, or even actually causing what is known as coronavirus disease.

    Regardless of its cause, the current medical response is an overreaction beyond all necessity. This “flu” is less deadly than the ordinary flu, so far. Most persons will survive it, easily, if they even catch it.

    The highly inflammatory, mass hysteria over “COVID-19″ is, I think, simply a cover to change our political institutions and culture, and to further restrict our freedoms. “Never let a crisis go to waste,” is the old psychopathic political saying, and it certainly applies here.

    The U.S. economy – and therefore the World economy – is in a perilous position.

    Last September the bond repurchase (“repo”) market had to be massively bailed out by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In December 2019, Zoltan Pozsar, the Hungarian economist who practically invented the modern repo market, has warned us that the Federal Reserve’s interventions to date have failed to reverse the underlying weak conditions in the banking system.  The Fed can only push on a string so much and its ability through money printing and control of interest rates to keep the economy and financial markets from unraveling is increasingly limited. Interest rates are already following those of Europe and elsewhere and plunging into the negative, while the Fed must be extremely careful not to ignite inflation or to cause the dollar to drop in value with its overly zealous minting of money 24/7. I saw this coming, as reflected in my 2020 forecast in the January 2020 issue of Whole Foods Magazine, of which I am the Legal Editor and regular columnist.

    With our financial house of cards poised to collapse at any moment, this year’s coronavirus arrived just in the nick of time. Instead of the government, politicians, and economists of both parties taking the blame for suddenly hard economic times, they all seized upon the “deadly” coronavirus as an excuse to allow the market to crash and to shutter businesses worldwide. After all, no one would question “health safety measures,” would they? The blame could be pinned on the “invisible” virus, blame that continues to this day. As the American and other economies falter from major structural problems, out-of-control debt, reckless spending, and government stupidity in shuttering businesses, the blame for markets crashing and economies tanking is borne by the conveniently available COVID-19 disease.

    The real threat to us is not from the “virus” but from the governments and their corporate overlords who will come out on top when the dust from all of this “pandemic” settles.

    In mid-March 2020, the Danish Parliament passed a draconian law authorizing the government to test (with their inaccurate tests) anyone they want in Denmark in order to determine if they have been infected with the coronavirus and to even forcibly inject such persons with a vaccine (as yet, non-existent), all against their will and their rights. The law is set to expire in March 2021, but it has set a freedom-smashing precedent that the 95 Danish parliamentarians who voted for it should be ashamed of. Even more, they should all be voted out of office.

    Similarly, the Quarantine Act in Canada gives the Canadian government the ability to suppress Canadians’ freedoms by shutting businesses down and shutting people inside their homes, all on a bureaucratic whim. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve talks about a “planned shutdown of the economy.”

     Two coronavirus plans have surfaced for the United States and neither of them bode well for its citizens’ health or liberties.

    1. The first one, proposed by Ezekiel Emanuel, a health-policy expert at the University of Pennsylvania, calls for lockdowns to begin easing in June 2020, if certain health milestones are met.
    2. The second one, proposed by the former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., is more draconian, calling for a much more cautious and open-ended easing of restrictions with the lifting of those restrictions only when a vaccine and/or medicines are available. Gottlieb doesn’t mind violating the Nuremburg Code against lack of informed consent in medical procedures, as he wants to forcibly vaccinate everyone. He thinks a vaccine would take two years to deploy (2022), while medicines could be available as early as this Summer 2020. Meanwhile, the police state reigns in nearly full force on the fraudulent foundation of false statistics.

    Remember, Not Everyone Died on the Titanic

    We all should be more frightened by the political response to COVID-19 than the virus itself. As Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Economics stated so well, “This is intentional economic destruction that is being carried out for an undisclosed purpose.” Or, perhaps they know something about the virus that they are not telling us? Time will tell.

    In the meantime, we all need to strongly oppose the current lockdown and destruction of our livelihoods and our lives. We need to actually laugh at the political and medical buffoons who have over-reacted and, by over-reacting, destroyed millions of lives.

    The facts show that the virus will, at most, kill fewer of us than those diseases we have seen around us for our entire lives;

    but if the political plans that are being put in place on the back of this fictitious coronavirus “crisis” are allowed to continue to completion, then all of us will suffer from a far less healthy and more restrictive future.

    There is one thing that you can count upon: Just as COVID-19 was preceded by the Zika, Ebola, Swine flu, Bird flu, and other “End of the World” viruses, COVID-19 will itself be followed by yet another, as-yet-unnamed virus.

    Indeed, are we surprised to hear already, while still well in the trenches of the current lockdown, about the inevitable next pandemic? In an opinion written by two deans at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and published by the establishment magazine Fortune, these two spokeswomen for the Elite state that the global outbreak of COVID-19 is in no way an anomaly and that it is only a matter of time before the next pandemic strikes. Of course.

    This next virus will be proclaimed to be even deadlier than COVID-19; and tyrannical measures put in place, all in the name of “public safety,” will exponentially exceed the measures put in place now.

    So, how we, as freedom-loving people, respond to the current power grab will dictate how many of our freedoms will be left for us and our children in the near future. We all must loudly and persistently say “No.”

    Then, name names. Get them out of office and leadership. They must realize that if they persist, this becomes the seedbed of revolutions and just as the resilient, inner power you possess, your time to rise is now not as a victim but a victor. NHF was born for this day. And so are you.

  • Freedom, not Force

    Sugar City, ID mayor Steven Adams‘ Facebook page entitled “Freedom Not Force” 
    As a new mayor, I have struggled to be supportive of our state and national leaders in this time of concern. When COVID-19 started to spread, I was all in with plans to encourage working from home and other common-sense forms of social distancing. The argument for this strategy was that if we changed our social patterns, it would likely lengthen the amount of time required for the virus to spread and allow for less of a peak rush on medical services.

    Those who could work from home would, and those who were at highest risk could isolate themselves, all while respecting the freedom of others. Again, the goal was to spread out the impact, not to stop it or keep everyone from getting it. The goal was not even to have fewer people infected, but to spread out the number of infections over time.

    Just as we were getting started with this strategy, panic started to set in. This was driven by our media that chose to react to this crisis differently than ever before. Likely for no other reason than to embarrass a president they do not like.

    Our state was caught up in this panic and it was fueled by what has been called the “Governor’s Order”. Rather than relying upon the plan just put into effect, the governor announced we would be shutting down most activity in the state unless it was deemed by the state to be “essential”.

    This led to controversy because under Idaho law the Governor does not have the authority to issue such an order. Only the Director of the Department of Health and Welfare can issue that type of order. Turns out that is actually what happened.

    https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/127/2020/04/statewide-stay-home-order_040220.pdf

    Dave Jeppesen was the one who signed the order, not the Governor, but for some reason, everyone keeps calling it the Governor’s order, even the Governor.

    To make matters worse, he made his announcement from the headquarters of the Idaho National Guard, then later sent out a document claiming his authority to issue the order was partially because he was the Commander and Chief of the state militia, which only makes sense if he was declaring martial law. He had every legal authority to mobilize the state militia in support of the order, but he should have respected the separation of powers built into our law and made it clear he was mobilizing them to provide logistical and material support to the medical community in support of the Director’s order. Better yet, he and the Director should have stuck with the first plan.

    So, we jumped from a simple plan to flatten the curve, to a state-mandated general control of the public. Besides being a ridiculous escalation of response, it also leaves us basically nowhere to go in the future if this second strategy doesn’t work. All that is left now is to actually declare martial law and use the National Guard, not to support operations, but to force compliance to the order, which in a sad twist of fate, will leave them less able to provide operational support.

    One massive problem is that it won’t work. If you want Idahoan’s to do something for the good of the public you explain the situation with honesty and clarity, then you ask for their help. You don’t try to force them. My neighbors will do anything for you if you ask, but you put a metaphorical, or actual, gun to their head and they will fight you to their dying breath. That is what freedom loving people do.

    At the same time, we have our national elected leaders in Washington D.C. selling our future for a mess of pottage. They signed off on a truly massive spending package, money we are just printing out of thin air by the way, some of which will make its way to the citizens and business in need, but most of it will disappear into a corrupt corporate/political web. Is that why we elected them? Is that really what Idaho stands for?

    The danger from this virus is real, but the greatest danger is coming from our own government. We must respect freedom, or the concept of freedom becomes hollow and meaningless.

    I will continue to work online and isolate myself from others because it is a good idea, not because the state is claiming to force me to do so. I will continue to encourage others in our community to do the same, not because I am a government official, but because I am a neighbor trying to help. I know we can face this challenge together, but we cannot sit by and allow the state and federal governments to continue their usurpation of the natural rights of the people. I raise my voice in the defense of freedom. I invite you to do the same.

  • UK stands down from pandemic panic

    While Idaho’s governor at the direction of the bueracrats from Health and Welfare was locking the state down in a 21-day-long ‘house arrest’ and economically disastrous plot, elsewhere in the world the pandemic panic is winding down. March 19 in the UK, Coronavirus COVID-19 has been taken off the high consequence infectious diseases list.

    COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK.

    Where is the media roar all over the world—blasting out the news that the UK government no longer considers COVID an existential threat to all life on Earth? There is no giant headlines indicating that the dominos are now starting to fall in another direction—away from sheer economic suicidal insanity?

    The UK government, on its website, announced on March 23, under “Status of COVID-19”:

    “As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK.”

    Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria.

    They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase.

    The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID.”

    The criteria for a HCID is:

    • acute infectious disease
    • typically has a high case-fatality rate
    • may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment

  • Food for Thought on Coronavirus

    We know there is much fear around so we wanted to share a little perspective.

    Consider that one third of the population carries staph on their skin and in their noses. If you tested that one third, they’d all test positive – but they’re not sick, they’re not infected. In order to be sick, you need to have millions of the virus in you replicating out of balance. The more people you test though, the more positive tests you’ll get.

    This information can be easily manipulated to frighten people because they have been lead to believe the germ theory for over a century. But our understanding of the microbiome has moved lightyears from those days. If contact with germs alone killed, we wouldn’t be here. Every day we are exposed to and carry trillions of viruses and bacteria and we have ten times as many bacteria in/on us as we do cells. We have trillions more viruses in/on us as well.

    The real issue is the terrain – us. Toxic load, nutritional status, sleep, stress, exercise all comprise the terrain and determine whether one of the many pathogens we carry actually replicates out of control and then causes infection.

    Pharmaceuticals are a type of toxin. Anti-fever medications are problematic as they fight the body’s normal, healthy, response to infection. When you add in several other drugs, elderly patients or already sick patients are much more likely to suffer consequences.

    Regarding the tests used to “confirm” the virus. The are many issues with them as Jon Rappoport so succinctly explains here:

    “Antibody tests are notorious for cross-reactions. This means factors in no way relevant to a given virus can make the test read positive. In that case, the patient would be falsely told he “has the coronavirus.” But it gets worse. Traditionally, antibody tests reading positive were taken as a good sign for the patient: his immune system had contacted a germ and defeated it. Then, starting in 1984, the science was turned upside down: a positive test was, astoundingly, taken to mean the patient was ill or would soon become ill.

    The PCR test (which requires excellent technicians who will not make any number of possible mistakes) takes a tissue sample from a patient which might contain a tiny virus particle(s) much too small to be observed—and blows it up many times, so it can be seen. However, the test says nothing reliable about HOW MUCH virus is in the patient’s body. Why is that important? Because millions and millions of replicating virus in the body are necessary to even begin talking about actual illness. A positive PCR test, nevertheless, will be taken to mean the patient “has the epidemic disease.” —An even deeper issue: where is the PRIOR PROOF that the PCR is testing for a virus that actually causes disease?”

    This article is very thought provoking. We have heard that the beaches in south Florida have indeed been closed and if that is the case, we must ask ourselves why? Sunshine and fresh air are very healing, why force people into their homes?
