  • Are we still in a free country?

    In Idaho, a man sits in jail for six months for a peaceful 10-minute protest on a sidewalk in daylight. #FREEROBERTJONES

    He was wrongfully arrested for Disturbing the Peace (1A-protected political protest) on -11-2021; Trial and Sentencing on 9-15-2022

    Robert Jones, a good, selfless, and humble man and a true Patriot, was sentenced to 6 months in jail for exercising his First Amendment Rights by peacefully protesting on a public sidewalk in Boise. This is so disgusting and it’s happening right here in OUR Idahome.

    -Eva

    SUPPORT ROBERT and our first amendment rights!

    Support Robert! We hope he will be freed of his six-month sentence (for a 10-minute protest!) in time for Christmas so he can return home with his family.

    Join us as we sit in the courtroom for the hearings this week: Dec 19 and 23, both at 2:30, Ada County Courthouse, Boise. We want more eyes on the judge and the court proceedings.

    Stand against injustice by our Judicial system. Financially support his family: givesendgo.com/G6J75

    The Background of the Story

    On September 15, Robert Jones was found guilty of disturbing the peace after a jury of six ignored the fact that the elements of the alleged crime had not been proven during deliberations. The jury even returned to the courtroom to ask the judge how to proceed as it was clear they lacked the evidence that the jury instructions told him they needed in order to convict.

    Judge Susan Clark should have been fully aware that the jury lacked the necessary evidence to convict. Nonetheless, in defiance of law, reason, and logic, they found Robert guilty.

    Judge Clark proceeded to sentence him. When Robert said that he would not consent to probation which included a Thinking Errors Class. Judge Clark responded by sentencing Robert to a maximum of six months in jail, which was the unjust conclusion to Roberts’s trial.

    DENIED THE RIGHT TO A SPEEDY TRIAL.

    Sentencing took place one year and nine months after his arrest, an unreasonably long period during which Robert was often denied access to the courts. His crime? Protesting. Because of a lack of access to the government, he protested on a public sidewalk. It was during daylight hours, exactly two years ago, and it lasted no more than 10 minutes.

    It seems that his right to a speedy trial, his right to access the courts, and his first amendment protected right to political protest were all violated.

    As of December 16, 2022, Robert will have served three months in Ada county jail. He was wrongly convicted and harshly sentenced. Because prisoners in Ada county jail are no longer allowed to receive visitors, Robert has seen his wife and family only by way of video calls.

    UPDATE FOR Monday, December 12

    Robert appeared in court in person so that judge Susan Clark could hear and rule on the motion for reconsideration of sentence. It was a kangaroo court.

    Follow up on the Robert Jones hearing today. The courtroom was packed–67 people came to support Robert. ❤ This was the hearing for Reconsideration of the Sentence, meaning there was a chance he would be released from his sentence and sent home today. That did not happen. And once again, justice did not happen.

    A little background: on Friday, very late in the day, the prosecution filed an Opposition to the motion, to which Robert’s lawyer responded with a memorandum last night. Today Judge Clark explained, in keeping with the prosecution’s complaint, that the motion was unclear. She somehow didn’t understand what it was Robert wanted. Well, Robert’s sentence consists of court fees and six months in jail. That’s it.

    The man is sitting in front of her, in shackles and jail clothes, and he is asking for Reconsideration of his Sentence under Idaho Criminal Rule 35, and the judge has received 25 affidavits from friends asking her to release him from jail, and she couldn’t figure out what he wants?
    No, she couldn’t.

    She’d rather appear incompetent than have to reject him in front of all those people. Well done, you guys. ❤️🙏

    Facebook comment

    Secondly, Robert was very bummed this evening. Very.

    But he was also so very appreciative to see so many faces of people come to support him–both familiar faces and new ones.

    He wants everyone to know that your standing with him matters. It brings more attention to the thing he is standing for–liberty. And furthermore, I think he was just really touched by all the support.

    When he was first brought into the courtroom, there weren’t many people in there. He had NO IDEA that we were out in the hall, and when we were finally allowed to come in, he was blown away. But he also wasn’t allowed to turn around and look at us. When they finally took him out again through the side door, and we all shouted, “We love you, Robert,” and applauded, he wished he had said more or had time to say more. But those officers are quick. Still, we could see the gratitude all over his face.

    It was suggested by the judge that this matter be revisited at Robert’s other hearing, which is already scheduled for Monday, December 19, at 2:30 (that’s to hear the Motion for Request of Stay of Sentence Pending Appeal). But that didn’t work for the prosecutor, who apparently likes to respond to things at the last possible moment and push out other people’s hearings as far as possible.

    Therefore, the matter of Robert’s request for Reconsideration of Sentence will now be heard on Friday, December 23, at 2:30.PLEASE COME TO BOTH upcoming hearings!!!

    First of all, it is possible that Judge Susan Clark found it difficult to reject Robert’s request outright with so many eyes on her today and that she thought she would kick it down the road to another day when fewer eyes would be on her. We need EYES ON HER!

    What else can you do?

    Call the ACLU on Robert’s behalf?”

    ACLU could potentially:
    1. File an amicus brief to help Robert’s case;
    2. Represent Robert in suing the bad actors in government who wrongly arrested, prosecuted, denied access to the courthouse, etc.;
    3. Provide support to Robert’s lawyer;
    4. Ask for an injunction for relief of punishment should Judge Clark deny Robert’s request for a stay of sentence next week;
    5. Lend their name and clout to a case that deserves attention because Roberts’s First Amendment Right to political protest was denied repeatedly! Wrongfully arrested, wrongfully convicted, wrongfully imprisoned!

    Please support Robert and the cause of Freedom, including our 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights.

    Monday, December 19, at 2:30 (that’s to hear the Motion for Request of Stay of Sentence Pending Appeal) and Friday, Dec 23, both at 2:30, Ada County Courthouse, Boise.

  • I No Longer Participate in the US National Vaccine Plan

    Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a story titled, “Percentage of young U.S. children who don’t receive any vaccines has quadrupled since 2001.” In the story, it was reported that, “Reasons for the increase couldn’t be determined from the data reported to CDC, the agency said.” What is the purpose of such an article? To target families who choose to opt-out of the 72 vaccines that are currently liability-free products and mandated for school. 

    Ginger Taylor, MS, the mother of a vaccine injured child, published a letter in the Johns Hopkins journal, Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics, entitled, “Families are Under No Obligation to Put Their Children at Risk By Participating in the Corrupt Current US National Immunization Program.”

    In the letter she lays out a portion of the corruption and unnecessary health risks that families are being subjected to, and states that she will no longer participate in the program. She shares the fact of her ‘lack of participation’ in a petition to the White House. You can share too.

    Sign the Petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/i-no-longer-participate-us-national-vaccine-plan

    Since the 1980’s, parents have been asking for safety reform in the CDC’s increasingly risky vaccine program. Despite this, the only reform implemented has been to change the name of the program from, “The National Immunization Program,” to, “The National Vaccine Plan.”

    • Fact: Vaccine reactions, contraindications, injuries and deaths happen…daily
    • Fact: Over $3.8 Billion has been paid out in the vaccine injury court (and only a small percentage of cases are even reported) with tax-payer’s dollars
    • Fact: Thousands and Thousands of families are living with vaccine injury, from mild to severe
    • Fact: The reported Autism number is 1 in 36 kids
    • Fact: There are hundreds of vaccines in the pipeline waiting to be added to the childhood (and adult) schedule 
    • Fact: Vaccines (individually and cumulatively) have never been tested with the rigorous gold standard double blind placebo safety studies. The Department of Health and Human Services hasn’t addressed vaccine safety in 32 years.
    • Fact: If/when you have a vaccine reaction, you’re on your own, don’t expect your doctor or the vaccine manufacturers to support you
    • Fact: Some vaccine reactions are instant (seizure, death) while some present themselves weeks, months or years later {{vaccines have not been studied!!}}
    • Fact: Aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, aborted fetal tissue, glyphosate, monkey kidney cells (just to name a few) are in vaccines and have never been tested
    • Fact: Vaccines have not been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or potential to impair fertility
    • Fact: There is still mercury in certain flu shots
    • Fact: National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986 passed in Congress, providing total liability protection to the vaccine makers. They cannot be sued and have no incentive to produce clean vaccines
    • Fact: The vaccine agenda is corrupt, unstudied and a FOR PROFIT (over health) business.

    Vaccine Exemptions are promoted as HIGH in Idaho.
    The media hype will continue to induce finger pointing and fear mongering. Check the FACTS and share the TRUTH!

    Learn More about the Idaho Vaccine Exemption Rates:  

    The media is intentionally manipulating with fear-mongering over 271 kindergartners in schools that serve 32,000 students, in counties with a total population of more than 250,000 people.  Boise Doctors express ‘fear’ over exemptions representing 0.2% of the states 1.7 million people.

    PAUSE THE PANIC FOR A MOMENT! The real numbers show that is 54 children of the county population of 54,500, didn’t receive both the CDC recommended shots of the MMR vaccine prior to kindergarten. 

  • US Food Brands Petition EPA to Ban Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Spraying

    The Environmental Working Group, joined by food and nutrition companies including MegaFood, Ben & Jerry’s, Stonyfield Farm, MOM’s Organic Market, Nature’s Path, One Degree Organic Foods, National Co+op Grocers and Happy Family Organics, petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday to sharply limit glyphosate residues allowed on oats and prohibit the pesticide’s use as a pre-harvest drying agent.

    Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is mostly used as a weedkiller on genetically modified corn and soybeans. But it is also increasingly sprayed on oats just before harvest as a drying agent, or desiccant. Glyphosate kills the crop, drying it out so that it can be harvested sooner than if the plant were allowed to die naturally. This allows easier harvesting but also increases the likelihood that the pesticide makes it into foods.

    In 2016, a testing project by Food Democracy Now! and The Detox Project found alarming levels of glyphosate in General Mills’ Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes and PepsiCo’s Doritos Cool Ranch, Ritz Crackers and Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips, as well as many more famous products.

    In August, independent laboratory tests commissioned by EWG found glyphosate residues in popular oat-based foods marketed toward children. Almost three-fourths of the samples tested had glyphosate levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective of children’s health with an adequate margin of safety.

    “No parent should worry whether feeding their children healthy oat-based foods will also expose them to a chemical linked to cancer,” said Scott Faber, EWG’s senior vice president for government affairs. “Using glyphosate as a desiccant is not necessary, but only a convenience for growers. That’s not worth taking a chance with our children’s health.”

    The EPA’s legal limit on glyphosate residues is 30 parts per million, or ppm. The petition, joined by 8 industry leaders asks the EPA to set a more protective standard of 0.1 ppm, which was the legal limit in 1993.

    Over the last 25 years, the EPA has increased the amounts of glyphosate residue allowed on oats 300-fold. The first increase, to 20 ppm, was granted in response to a 1997 petition from Monsanto, when farmers around the world first began using glyphosate widely as a late-season desiccant. It was increased to the current 30 ppm level in 2008.

    Since then, scientists have linked glyphosate to cancer and researchers around the world have called for stricter limits on glyphosate exposures.

    In 2015, 17 of the world’s top cancer researchers convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer reviewed hundreds of studies on glyphosate and voted unanimously to classify the weedkiller as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Last year, California added glyphosate to its official list of chemicals known to cause cancer.

    “The verdict is in – glyphosate use poses a significant threat to the health of our planet and the people on it.  As more and more consumers continue to raise valid concerns about the incredibly harmful effects of glyphosate, it’s high time that the EPA prohibits the pre-harvest use of glyphosate on every farm across the country,” said Robert U. Craven, CEO of MegaFood. “The federal government has a duty to protect its most vulnerable citizens, and today’s petition filing is a signal that it’s time to clean up the supply chain to improve overall health.”

    “The citizen petition submitted to EPA today is an important step in confronting the overuse of glyphosate in our food system,” said Matthew McCarthy, CEO of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. “We call on EPA to quickly take the steps necessary to ensure that unwanted levels of pesticides don’t wind up the food Americans eat.”

    “As a mom of two young children and as a maker of organic baby food, I urge the EPA to protect us appropriately from this chemical glyphosate that may have serious consequences to our health and more importantly, the lifelong health of our children,” said Shazi Visram, Founder and ChairMom of Happy Family Brands. “Progress must always be made to ensure their safety and well-being. To me that means we are always strengthening our standards. So first and foremost we should maintain the standard that was 300 times stronger over 20 years ago.”

    The petition asks the EPA to prohibit the use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest desiccant on oats and set a stricter limit for imports coming from countries with less protective standards. This simple change could significantly reduce a source of the pesticide in Americans’ diets.

  • North Carolina files lawsuit against attorney helping people legally avoid vaccines

    Vaccine exemptions are under attack. First they eliminated non-medical exemptions and went after the doctors. Now, they are attacking attorneys for helping people legally avoiding vaccines. This is not just a personal attack against Phillips, it’s an attack on the entire vaccine awareness movement, given Phillips’ unique role in helping clients nationally with exemptions and legislative activism! 

    Phillips is the nation’s only attorney who works with clients, attorneys, legislators and activists nationally concerning vaccines required at birth; for daycare, school and college enrollment; as a condition of employment; for military members and families; for immigrants, including foreign-adopted children and refugees; for children of parents in child custody disputes; and a variety of sub-divisions of these categories. See www.vaccinerights.com

     3) donate to support Phillips’ legal defense fund

    4) stay tuned for updates to this story! (links below)

    The North Carolina State Bar, the agency that licenses NC attorneys, has taken the unprecedented step of filing a lawsuit against the nation’s leading vaccine rights attorney, Alan Phillips, J.D., to force Phillips to hand over years of his clients’ files or risk being jailed for civil contempt…

    Attorney Phillips is the nation’s leading Vaccine Rights attorney, the only attorney whose practice is focused solely on vaccine exemptions and vaccine legislative activism, and who works with clients, attorneys, legislators and activists nationally in virtually every possible U.S. exemption setting.[1] North Carolina is known as “Vaccine Central” for its award-winning vaccine companies.[2] So, it’s not surprising that the NC State Bar is going after Phillips, with what Phillips claims are invented facts and law in a series of steps that appear to have been designed from the start to disbar Phillips, for helping people legally avoid vaccines. 

    BASELESS ATTACK

    The NC Bar’s lawsuit and underlying investigation are both unlawful for several reasons, according to Phillips. First, the Bar lacks the legally-required “allegation of misconduct.” That’s right, they are not even claiming Phillips actually did anything wrong, in which case (or should we say, “witch case”?) there is no legal basis for the investigation or lawsuit! There is also a blatant conflict of interest, Phillips points out, as he filed a good-faith complaint against State Bar attorneys Chess Boardfor their fabrication of facts and law in a February 2017 “Letter of Warning” to Phillips. NC Bar attorneys can’t lawfully investigate Phillips while Phillips has an unresolved complaint open against Bar attorneys; both matters must be addressed by outside, independent people to avoid the obvious conflicts of interest. But the NC Bar is ignoring that conflict; it is suppressing Phillips’ complaint against Bar attorneys, and aggressively pursuing Phillips.

    Phillips is not alone in his claim that NC Bar attorneys have engaged in serious misconduct. His complaint against NC Bar attorneys is supported by two independent legal experts, and Phillips’ own preliminary investigation has turned up other witnesses to NC Bar officials fabricating facts, and other attorneys who claim they were disbarred based on facts invented by NC Bar attorneys. So, there appears to be a very serious problem at the NC State Bar!

    And Phillips isn’t the only one who has filed a complaint against NC Bar attorneys! Several organizations around the country have also filed complaints in recent months, based on contradictions between a NC Bar letter and other information posted on the Internet. NC Bar officials are suppressing these complaints as well—again, avoiding scrutiny of their own actions. Yet, they continue to pass judgment on other NC attorneys. More than just a little ironic…

    Finally, according to Phillips, the NC State Bar’s demand for years of Phillips’ Image result for free images fishingclients’ files amounts to an unlawful “fishing expedition.” That’s a legal term for digging around in private information or documents to see if you can find something wrong, without a legitimate basis for having access to the information in the first place. It violates Constitutional due process. And this “expedition” would be particularly egregious, as it would violate hundreds of Phillips’ clients’ privacy rights based on the most sacred of legal tenets, the attorney-client privilege.

     Phillips fears the court may rubber-stamp the Bar’s unlawful demand, as courts sometimes do with government entities and powerful private persons. But Phillips also believes there is an out-of-the-box solution to the problem that involves putting a public spotlight on the matter, to expose publicly the NC Bar’s misdeeds, on the theory that “even a bad person will do the right thing when there’s a spotlight on them…” For example, Phillips founded a new non-profit, Bar Watch, Inc., to put a light on the NC Bar attorneys’ misconduct, and to garner support for a proper investigation of the NC Bar.

    But your help is needed to power that light!

  • #FluorideFree Idaho! Sign The Petition

    Unlike other chemicals added to water, which are intended to treat the water itself, fluoride is intended to treat the people who drink the water, whether they want the treatment or not. There is NO HEALTH BENEFIT IN INGESTING FLUORIDE, only risks.

    *Fluoride is toxic waste from aluminum and fertilizer factories and contains a high concentration of toxins and heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and chromium. All proven to be carcinogens. 

    *Fluoride is now classified as a neurotoxin as supported by more than 180 studies. 

    *Fluoride’s impact is cumulative. It is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. No one will die from drinking one glass of fluoridated water, but it is the long term chronic effects of drinking fluoridated water that affects health. 

    At Health Freedom Idaho, our view is that we should each have the right to determine what medicines we intake – or don’t. 

    -Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association.

    “I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable.”

    WE AGREE – IDAHO SHOULD BE FLUORIDE FREE! SIGN THE PETITION!

  • ACTION ALERT: Petition to ban neurtoxic additive to our water

    ACTION ALERT: Petition to ban neurtoxic additive to our water

    New York – November 30, 2016 – A coalition of environmental, medical and health groups have served the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a Petition calling on the Agency to ban the addition of fluoridation chemicals to public water supplies due to the risks these chemicals pose to the brain, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).

    The Petition, which includes over 2,500 pages of supporting scientific documentation, explains that “the amount of fluoride now regularly consumed by millions of Americans in fluoridated areas exceeds the doses repeatedly linked to IQ loss and other neurotoxic effects.”  Signers  include FAN, Food & Water Watch, Organic Consumers Association, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and Moms Against Fluoridation.

    “If EPA applies its own risk assessment guidelines to fluoridation, we believe it will agree that fluoridation poses an unacceptably high risk to the brain,” says attorney Michael Connett, FAN legal adviser.

    The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes EPA to prohibit the “particular use” of a chemical that presents an unreasonable risk to the general public or susceptible subpopulations. TSCA gives EPA the authority to prohibit drinking water additives.

    Subpopulations especially vulnerable to fluoride’s neurotoxic effects include infants, the elderly, kidney patients, and the nutrient deficient (e.g. iodine and calcium). Evidence also suggests that African-Americans may suffer disproportionate harm as well.

    EPA scientists characterize chemicals with human evidence of neurotoxicity as “gold standard” chemicals warranting assessment priority.  Not only is there human research on fluoride neurotoxicity, it is so extensive that fluoride is classified alongside lead, mercury and PCBs as one of only 12 chemicals “known to cause developmental neurotoxicity in human beings.” (Lancet Neurology)

    At EPA’s request, the National Research Council (NRC) reviewed fluoride toxicology research and concluded in 2006, “It is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain.”

    Since NRC’s review, 196 fluoride/brain studies have been published, including 61 human studies.

    Contrary to claims that only high doses of fluoride are linked to brain damage, studies of fluoride-exposed human populations consistently find neurotoxic effects at water fluoride levels well below the EPA’s “safe” level (4 mg/L).

    One recent study from China found that children ingesting just 1.4 milligrams of fluoride each day suffered a 5-point loss in IQ. Some children living in fluoridated areas in the United States ingest doses comparable to this level.

    Research also shows that some Americans have fluoride levels in their urine and blood that equal or exceed the levels linked to cognitive deficits.

    “As with lead, fluoride is a neurotoxic and endocrine disrupting substance that has no place in our drinking water,” Connett states. “The EPA should follow Europe’s lead and end fluoridation.”

    EPA has 90 days to respond to the Petition.
