LAWSUIT UPDATE NO. 1

by

Thursday, March 2, 2023

Things are starting to move in the lawsuit. On Sunday, an amended complaint was filed with the court, adding what’s known as a “Bivens Claim” to the suit.

In the weeks before Gray TV did the mandate, President Biden and other government officials were applying public (and  in some cases, private) pressure on corporations with threats subtle and not so subtle, and because of this, the assertion is that Gray TV was acting as a government agent, or in partnership with government agents, in demanding all employees submit to the COVID injections.

The amended complaint also opens up the possibly of having a trial in Columbus, since that’s where the civil rights violations occurred and where a large number of witnesses live.  The judge would have to agree to a change in venue if this were to happen.

On Monday, Gray TV’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss, but the judge ruled that the motion was moot since they were responding to the original complaint, not the amended complaint that is now in play. They have 14 days to respond to the new complaint.

This whole thing is moving in slow motion, which is frustrating to someone who’s used to go-go-go all day long. Patience is in order – not my specialty.

The one thing that keeps me going is all the kind words from everyone. Thank you for keeping me upbeat. It means more than I can express.

THE THEOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS

by

I’m not a theological scholar, and I certainly didn’t play one on TV, but it’s clear to me that shot mandates go against Catholic doctrine, the teachings of all forms of Christianity, and against the very essence of the American concept of liberty.

For starters, there’s the fruit-of-the-poisoned-tree aspect. Tissue from a baby aborted in the Netherlands was instrumental in testing the mRNA shots. This isn’t disputed or questioned in any way – they just come right out and admit it with no moral qualms. Right there, hands down, that makes it out of bounds. To knowingly partake in something with a profoundly evil base is Sin with a capital S. Catholics never believe that the “ends” justify the “means.” That single fact is enough to exempt anyone from being forced to participate in a shot mandate under U.S. Code and International law as well. I will not defile my body with this stuff and I have a right, and still further, an obligation to follow my own conscience on this conviction.

Secondly, you have the inherent God-given right to choose your own medical treatment path. The COVID shots being administered in this country are considered by law and acknowledged by the bureaucratic apparatus to be a medical experiment, which means you have the right to decline to participate. There’s talk of an approved shot, but it’s all talk. The approved version isn’t available here and hasn’t even gone into production in the USA. Even with the so-called approved shot, the drug company that makes it was required in the approval letter from the FDA to continue to gather data and treat it as medical experiment. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. And this thing looks like quackery all day long.

People have been forced to take part in medical experiments against their will in the past. World War II illustrated the evils of forced medical experiments and some Nazis were hanged for this very issue at Nuremburg.  But it wasn’t just our opponents in that war that were committing these vile acts. It happened here as well. One word for you – Tuskegee. I will not passively allow Tuskegee 2.0 to continue.

I’m taking a profound risk with the lawsuit. Going up against billion-dollar corporations with untold political influence and power can leave you as a literal grease spot on the legal and economic highway. I could just write this off, take the L, and move on with my life — you know, be practical because the adversary is just too big.

Except I can’t. I just can’t do that. I’ve spent a lot of time in prayer on this subject, and it’s been made clear to me I can’t just walk away without fighting.

What happened to me happened to thousands of others. Many of them lost careers in fields that are much more vital to humanity than mine. You have first responders of all stripes – doctors, nurses, police, fire fighters, the military – but it should never happen to anyone, anywhere, ever. Compelling someone to violate their religious beliefs and surrender their rights just to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads is vile. All forms of Christianity teach that we were created in God’s image and that even the least of us carries that divine spark with innate dignity and worth. To force someone to participate in something of this nature is profoundly wrong at its core.

When principles are challenged in this manner and the reasoning used to sanction it is an inversion of the Good, the Beautiful and the True, the word adversary needs to be capitalized because that’s who/what we’re fighting. The Adversary.

I’m not the only one trying to take the fight to the legal system, but I’m one of the ones at the front of the line. Taking the fight public to expose the fundamental wrongs that have been committed is vital to turning this thing around. Each separate victory chips away at the monolith, and brings us one step closer to having it crumble to dust under its own immoral and unconscionable weight.

The True Root of Media’s COVID Failure

by

The legacy media’s coverage of the whole COVID pandemic and the COVID shot mandates has been a disservice to their viewers / listeners / readers. They weren’t doing any kind of real journalism at any point – they were simply acting as a megaphone for the “official” narrative, with virtually no honest examination of the claims put forth by the government and corporations involved in the whole mess.

There were plenty of dissenters from the official narrative. Many were doctors and medical researchers with impeccable records and expertise, but their voices were silenced, shadow banned, or met with ridicule and threats of regulatory repercussion for their rebellion.

This is where local media could have stepped in as a counterbalance, since you’re talking about hundreds of outlets run by a wider variety of media companies. But it didn’t happen. Some of that could be attributed to younger and more inexperienced reporters and producers. But there’s another factor that’s seldom considered, and that’s economic survival.

Most TV stations try to do some sort of investigative stories and series but there’s one thing that’s totally taboo, and that’s investigating your biggest advertisers. It makes some sort of sense, since you have to pay the electricity bill.

How much of the advertising revenue these days comes from pharmaceutical companies? How much money rolls in from ads touting this new medication or that revolutionary pill? “Brought to you by Pfizer” pops up an awful lot, doesn’t it? But there’s another issue that crops up, and that’s cross ownership of publicly traded media companies.

Gray TV was the largest local broadcast group to enforce a COVID shot mandate, with over 190 stations and more than 8,000 employees. Who owns Gray stock? It turns out that as of February 13, 2023 that 71.06% is institutionally owned, which gives those institutional investors huge clout. Blackrock, Inc. (third largest, 6.10%), Vanguard Group, Inc. (sixth largest, 4.96%), and State Street Corp., (17 th largest, 1.99%) together own 13.05% of Gray.

Let’s talk Pfizer stock ownership. The biggest three are Vanguard (8.79%), Blackrock (7.71%), and State Street (5.12%), a 21.62% ownership stake in the company that has produced the most widely administered COVID shot on the market. These three interlinked companies also are the most influential financial holding companies in the U.S., giving them huge clout on the national policy level. What could go wrong?

That was rhetorical, of course. We already know what could – and has – gone wrong. Now we have to make sure those that caused the failure of one of the bedrock institutions that our society has depended up pay the price for their willful dereliction of duty.

Wait, what? Madness at the CDC

by

You could see it coming from a mile away, but it’s still hard to believe they actually did it. The CDC added COVID shots to the routine childhood shot schedule on Thursday. They’re calling for a two-shot series first at six months, then at age 5, then at age 12.

Wait, what?

Yes, it has been listed as routine despite the fact that clinical trials aren’t even close to being completed. The drug companies are required to continue clinical trial protocols for at least ten different studies, listed in order of completion as outlined in the FDA letter to BioNTech, starting on page 5:

Pediatric study for 12-15 yr. olds                   May 31, 2023

VA patient study                                            June 30, 2023

Pediatric study for 6 mo-12 yrs.                     Nov. 30, 2023

Subclinical myocarditis 5-15 yr. olds              Nov. 30, 2023

Lower dose 12-30 yr. olds                              Nov. 30, 2023

Myocarditis/pericarditis history                     Mar. 31, 2024

Pediatric study for under 6 mo.                     July 31, 2024

Myocarditis/pericarditis occurrence              June 30, 2025

Pregnant women/infant effects                     June 30, 2025

Myocarditis/pericarditis long-term                Dec. 31, 2026

These aren’t even long term effectiveness and safety studies – these are initial trials.

Madness.

Under U.S. Code and under International Law, no one can compel anyone to take part in a medical experiment through force or coercion, but they’re trying to use a head fake to con people into believing that this has the force of law. The CDC can’t mandate anything, but individual states can, and you know some of them will, federal and international law be damned.

This is why I’m suing Gray TV, and this is why it’s going to be the biggest fight of my life. Billions of dollars are at stake, along with the political muscle to attempt to force people to do whatever they’re told and trashing their individual rights. I expect things to get dicey, but I can’t back down. If they’re not stopped on this, you can count on more of the same involving just about every facet of life.

I’m going to need all the help I can get, both spiritually and temporally, to see this through.

Prayers requested, please. And I mean prayers for every single one of us who are fighting this fight.

Not What I Expected!

by

Being fired despite filing a constitutionally-protected religious objection was not what I expected for 2021!

The last 17 months have been like nothing I’ve ever experienced with my profession stolen from me in illegal fashion. But I’m not taking it lying down, as legal proceedings have commenced. 

As expressed elsewhere on this website, this battle isn’t just about me. What we’re doing will affect everyone, and hopefully clear the way for other lawsuits against organizations that ignored their duty to their employees’ First Amendment rights and made the COVID shot compulsory.   

Being fired despite filing a constitutionally-protected religious objection to what even the FDA clearly designated a medical experiment was not what I expected for 2021!

This blog will keep you up to date on what’s going on with my case, along with other news of interest. And I’ll throw in some fun stuff as well, links to videos from back in the day to inform and amuse. 

The fight is just beginning, and with your support, we will prevail and set a new precedent for employee rights and conscience rights in our country, and open the way for others who have had their lives ripped apart.
