AFLDS policy statement on the harmful health effects of lockdowns

Lockdowns are not effective, as seen by many scientific studies, common sense, and worldwide observation. Locking down entire communities was never before done in all of recorded human history, but it swept the globe in 2020. In addition to not stopping the transmission of a tiny respiratory virus that fortunately does not permanently harm the vast majority of people, lockdowns cause insurmountable negative health effects. These range from the worsening of chronic stable conditions, to missing new serious diagnoses, to missing necessary treatments, and very often death. And where lack of medical care and social isolation intersect, the tragedy of addiction, substance abuse, depression, trauma, and crime repeats itself in ever escalating numbers. The death and illness due to lockdowns is exponentially higher than deaths due to Covid-19. This is all the more tragic because most Covid19 deaths are at or exceed the average life expectancy but most of the death and illness due to lockdowns is in younger persons.

Here are some facts:

▪ In March, 39% of people living with a household income of ≤ $40,000 lost their job
▪ 40% of restaurants expect to be out of business by March 2021
▪ 38% decrease in serious heart attack treatments in the USA
▪ 51.8% drop in breast cancer diagnosis vs. 2018
▪ June-August 2020 homicides increased 53% compared to 2019

"The single most criminal act that happened over the last year was closing down the schools. There was no evidence to support it. And when I say no, let me be clear: none. The decision makers who kept the schools closed did that knowing that kids don't transmit it and don't get very sick. I urge the parents to not comply with these policies that are harming your children."
-Dr. Gold

"I urge everyone to have HCQ in their medicine cabinet. It is a very safe medication. It is over-the-counter in most of the world, sold in the vitamin section next to vitamin C and vitamin D. Get yourself some through our website, AmericasFrontlineDoctors.com, and schedule a tele-med consult. I am really urging people to do this because they are ratcheting up the fear so much if you knew you had a bottle in the medicine cabinet that would take care of things if you needed it, you wouldn't be afraid."
-Dr. Gold

"[Our country going back to normal] will depend entirely upon citizens saying: NO."

Dr. Gold's Op-Ed In The Washington Times

Don't Follow Europe's Lockdown Model On COVID19

Here’s an excerpt:
"The stated purpose of both the European and American lockdowns earlier this year was to prevent overwhelming local hospitals with critically ill patients. However, as the shutdown dragged on in places like New York and California, public health officials saw increases in heart disease and cancer rates… Addiction and mental health crises have grown rapidly during the pandemic… Following the European shutdown model again would only lead to more non-COVID excess deaths…"

Real World COVID-19 Experience: Kids and Schools
Jeffrey Barke

America’s Frontline Doctor, Dr. Jeff Barke, a primary care doctor, a former elected school board member, and cofounder and chair of a free public charter school in Orange County, has treated dozens of COVID patients, and not one of the patients has needed hospitalization. He emphasizes the need for us to stop creating unnecessary fear in children stating that it is far more damaging than the virus itself. Please click HERE to listen to the important message he delivered at our White Coat Summit II, Washington D.C., 10/16.

In his video you will hear Dr. Barke state, “If you are less than 20 years old, the survival rate from COVID-19 is 99.997%. A child has a greater risk dying in a car crash driving to school than they do from the risk of COVID-19. Influenza is a far greater risk to our children than COVID-19. Have we ever closed our schools because of influenza? Have we ever required the masking of healthy children because of influenza? No we haven't. Eight year old Hogan has such severe anxiety that Hogan is scared to take her mask off at home because she is worried she is going to kill her parents. Twelve year old Nick refuses to go to school because he is worried he is going to die at school because of COVID-19. We must stop unnecessarily scaring our children.”

CUSTOMER BOOK REVIEW FROM AMAZON, December 1, 2020:
"This is outstanding and will be a history book in 10 years of the truth behind the Covid scandal! Thank you Dr. Gold for sacrificing your job to get the truth out."
-Bethany W.

CUSTOMER BOOK REVIEW FROM AMAZON, November 30, 2020:
"This book is excellent!! It is such a breath of fresh air to hear someone say that there is hope. And not just any old “someone”, Simone is a board certified physician that has served in the frontlines in such a time as this!!! It is also so frustrating that her voice has been almost completely muted, because her voice was going against the lies that were spun and the fear that the politicians have been spewing. She names names and pulls zero punches. Regardless of where you sit on the fence politically, you owe it to yourself and those you love to read this book. You just might save a life or two. When you know better, you do better."

Bush And Clinton Vow To Join Obama For Televised COVID Vaccination

They will 'get in line' for shots, and 'will gladly do so on camera' to 'urge all Americans to do the same'

BY STEVE WATSON

After Barack Obama promised to take a COVID jab on live TV to help convince Americans it is safe, former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have also reportedly said they will do the same.

Speaking to CNN Bush’s chief of staff Freddy Ford announced that “A few weeks ago President Bush asked me to let Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx know that, when the time is right, he wants to do what he can to help encourage his fellow citizens to get vaccinated.”

“First, the vaccines need to be deemed safe and administered to the priority populations. Then, President Bush will get in line for his, and will gladly do so on camera,” Ford added.

The report also states that Bill Clinton’s press secretary Angel Urena confirmed he is also willing to take the vaccination on camera.

“President Clinton will definitely take a vaccine as soon as available to him, based on the priorities determined by public health officials. And he will do it in a public setting if it will help urge all Americans to do the same,” said Urena.

Obama declared this week that he trusts Anthony Fauci completely, adding “I may end up taking [the vaccine] on TV or having it filmed just so that people know that I trust this science.”

CNN has also been pushing the idea of vaccination ID cards, allowing those who have taken the shot to go about their lives without harassment.

 




	







	

		

	




			

		

		
		

			
							

		


	

		
	
		
	

		
		
Fox News’ Murdochs Backed Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton

BY ELLIOTT FUCHS


SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/fox-news-murdoch-backed-clinton-foundation-frontpagemagcom/; 


republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



The controlling shareholders of Fox News, the Murdoch family and its 89-year-old patriarch Rupert Murdoch, have a long history of backing Democrats like Hillary Clinton and their liberal causes.


After four years of fairly critical coverage of President Trump (Fox “confirmed”, for example, a skepticism-inducing report that Trump called fallen soldiers “suckers and losers,” a claim that even Trump foe John Bolton denied,) many conservatives are re-evaluating Fox News’ true commitment to “fair and balanced” media.


Federal election records show that Murdoch has donated to far-left Democratic politicians including John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Anthony Weiner and even Hillary Clinton, for whom he hosted a fundraiser in 2006, just preceding her first presidential campaign.  


Reporting on the fundraiser, CBS News’ Dan Collins, exclaimed that “Rupert Murdoch Loves Hillary Clinton.”  


But it does not stop there. 


FAIR, a liberal media group, even bragged about how much Fox News (through its parent company News Corp.) was donating to Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign against Trump. FAIR wrote: 


“All of the broadcast giants are on board. Clinton is the largest individual recipient of campaign donations from Comcast (NBC News, MSNBC), Time Warner (CNN), News Corp (Fox News), CBS Television and Walt Disney (ABC News).” 


No longer viewed as a stalwart of conservative causes, the Murdochs, including Fox News, have been moving to the left for years coinciding with the Democratic Party’s cementing itself as the party of the global elite. 


The Murdochs and News Corp. have been big donors to the Clinton Foundation, an organization that includes progressive activists George Soros, Haim Saban and many other left-wing billionaires. They have given literally millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.


Worrisome to conservatives should be New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s assertion that after Rupert Murdoch passes, his son James, a strong liberal who has opposed Trump, will join with his left-leaning two sisters in controlling the family’s vast media empire, including Fox.


James and his wife Kathryn, considered a liberal power couple, are multi-million-dollar donors to Democratic candidates and causes. In this election cycle, alone, they wrote a check for $1 million to try to help Chuck Schumer and the Democrats win the Senate.


At long last, longtime Fox viewers are finally grasping the magnitude of the organization’s ideological shift, at the behest of President Trump’s awareness campaign.


However, in actuality, this shift has been taking place for years.


Glenn Beck, a mainstream and popular conservative commentator tossed from Fox’s evening line-up, said he was prohibited from criticizing George Soros on his show.


His claim was perhaps demonstrated as true this past September, when Fox News hosts cut off former Speaker Newt Gingrich, after he started discussing Soros funded initiatives.


The transcript of that exchange was eerie and further portrays Fox News’ true political allegiances:


"I'm not sure we need to bring George Soros into this," said co-host Melissa Francis.


"I was going to say you get the last word, Speaker," Fox host Harris Faulkner said.


"He paid for it. I mean, why can't we discuss the fact that millions of dollars..." Gingrich said before co-host Marie Harf responded.


"No, he didn't. I agree with Melissa. George Soros doesn't need to be a part of this conversation," Harf said.


"OK. So, it's verboten [to talk about Soros]," Gingrich replied.


"OK. We're going to move on," Faulkner said.


The inclusion of this transcript herein is not an attempt to peddle an erroneous Soros conspiracy theory. Rather, it is merely meant to illuminate that Fox News may be prohibiting criticism of one the most prolific radical left-wing donors in this country’s history. Why? Perhaps because they are sympathetic to the liberal causes he so intensely supports.


Soros, apparently, is not the only topic of discussion barred from Fox’s airwaves. Long-time Fox contributor Dick Morris stated that “Fox always tried to tell [him] never to criticize China when you’re on our air. [He couldn’t] believe the censorship that goes on [there].”


President Trump, never one shy to criticize news outlets, has made his determination about Fox News’ credibility.


Shortly, after the election, he tweeted:


@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Goose. The biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews!


11:10 AM · Nov 12, 2020·Twitter for iPhone


[Link: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1326920264203046915]


Speaking of the election, Fox put a lifelong Democratic political operative, Arnon Mishkin, in charge of their election night “call” desk.


Prior to election night, Mishkin had “been skeptical of Mr. Trump’s chances on social media and in occasional Fox appearances.”   


Mishkin is a lifelong Democrat, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and built his career working exclusively for liberal politicians.


The unsurprising result of Fox’s decision to have Mishkin calling the shots was seen on election night, when Fox News viewers were outraged to see the network refuse to call Florida for Trump, a state he won handily, while they were the first to call Arizona -- a much tighter affair -- for Biden.


Fox News’ swing to the left started long before Mishkin’s controversial Arizona call on election night.  


For years, anchors like Neil Cavuto and Andrew Napolitano have derided and repeatedly criticized President Trump’s (often mainstream conservative) policies and proposals. Indeed, the Chris Wallace’s 2020 smug presidential debate moderation was one of the most bewildering and decried moments leading up to election day. 


As ratings amongst its viewers continue to evaporate, it is obvious these blips are the result of a larger ideological shift within the Fox News Organization.  


Today, instead, President Trump himself is encouraging his followers to tune in to Newsmax TV and OANN.


Fox News’ long-held monopoly over GOP politics has been fraught with risk and posed great danger to conservatives. For too long, viewers have been fed a false bill of goods.


Just ask Donald Trump about it.

Muslims Preach ‘Christian Passivity’ to Disarm Christians
		
		
 

	
		
		
					

			
		

						

	

						

		


			

	

	

		

	


BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM


SEE: https://pjmedia.com/columns/raymond-ibrahim/2020/12/03/muslims-preach-christian-passivity-to-disarm-christians-n1186790;


republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



Past and present, one of the least known—and, until the modern era, largely futile—tactics used by Muslims to disarm Christians has been to insist that Christianity is against warfare, violence in general.


In this regard, the most recent Muslim to take on the mantle of Christian theologian is none other than Somalia-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.  Around November 18, after Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. criticized Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock for claiming that Christians could not serve both God and the military, Omar, the Muslim, turned to quoting—that is, misquoting—the Bible.  In a tweet with an embarrassed face emoji, as if to suggest what Rubio was saying was so embarrassing—in fact, the emoji was appropriate, but more because of her spelling errors—she posted:


Mathews [sic] 6:24


No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney.’ [sic] The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful.


Omar is hardly the first Muslim to try to manipulate Christian theology to Christians’ own detriment and disadvantage.  Nearly a millennium ago, prior to the Crusader siege of Antioch in 1098, Muslim emissaries were sent to parley.  They told the Europeans how their masters were “amazed that you should seek the Sepulchre of your lord as armed men, exterminating their people [Muslims] from long-held lands—indeed, butchering them at sword point, something pilgrims should not do.”


Of course, these diplomats said nothing about what “their people” had been doing to Christian subjects and pilgrims—that is, extorting, torturing, raping, and killing them—which is what occasioned the Crusades in the first place.


Similarly, Omar, who hails from a radically Islamic nation, Somalia—deemed the third-worst persecutor of Christians in the world—would much rather “shame” Christians into disarming than have them resist violence, especially at the hands of Muslims.


In other words, she, like so many others, is an advocate of Doormat Christianity—a passive, nonjudgmental form of Christianity that deems lying down before an enemy to be virtuous. Muslims and other elements are persecuting innocents around the world? Show love and tolerance, turn the other cheek, say a prayer, and feel guilty for your own crimes—or even your ancestors’ crimes—is one of the dominant strains of this brand.


Doormat Christianity was regularly on display during Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency: “On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love,” he said in 2015 — three days after an Islamic terror attack targeting Christians killed 147 people in Kenya, provoking a few American Christian groups to express anger. “And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned.”


Similarly, during the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5, 2015, Obama directly invoked Doormat Christian tenets to shame Christians from being too critical of Islamic State atrocities: “Lest we get on our high horse and think this [Islamic beheadings, sex-slavery, crucifixion, roasting and burying humans alive] is unique to some other place,” the American president admonished, “remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”


Speaking of the Crusaders, how did they respond when Muslim diplomats expressed shock that they, Christian pilgrims, had come with the sword?  With more knowledge of Christian Just War theory than Omar, Obama, and their ilk would have us accept.  According to the account of Robert the Monk, the Crusaders, with “one accord,” replied:


No one with any sense should be surprised at us coming to the Sepulchre of Our Lord as armed men and removing your people from these territories.  Any of our people who came here with staff and scrip [i.e., as unarmed pilgrims] were insulted with abominable behavior, suffered the ignominy of poor treatment and in extreme cases were killed.


This was an understatement.  Thirty years earlier, and as just one of countless examples, a pilgrim wrote of what Muslims did to a “noble abbess of graceful body and of a religious outlook” who had joined a German pilgrimage to Jerusalem: “The pagans captured her, and in the sight of all, these shameless men raped her until she breathed her last, to the dishonor of all Christians. Christ’s enemies performed such abuses and others like them on the Christians.”


Before the walls of Antioch, where the word “Christian” was first coined, the Crusaders continued their response by noting that the land “belonged to our people [Christians] originally and your people [Muslims] attacked and maliciously took it away from them, which means it cannot be yours no matter how long you have had it.”  Accordingly, “payback will be exercised by Frankish swords on your necks!”


The modern reader may find such an approach extreme, certainly “medieval.”  But for the proponents of Doormat Christianity, nothing less than total capitulation will ever do. Thus, former nun-turned-advocate-for-Islam, Karen Armstrong, chides: “During the 12th Century, Christians were fighting brutal holy wars against Muslims, even though Jesus had told his followers to love their enemies, not to exterminate them.”


In short, Christianity makes ample room for Just War—even as those who seek to subvert justice argue otherwise.

'We Had to Rent a Separate Car'


BY MATT MARGOLIS

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



An audit of 1,400 mail-in ballots in Nevada found that two percent were cast by voters who never actually received a ballot in the mail, and one percent were cast by voters who say they didn’t even vote.


The audit, which was conducted by Baselice and Associates for the Trump campaign’s legal team in Nevada, found that 579,000 absentee ballots were returned to the state by Election Day. If three percent of those ballots were improperly cast, that comes to 17,300 illegal votes.


The Trump campaign was also granted the right to inspect voting machines used during the election, though they’ve yet to be granted a proper inspection.


“Machines were not usable, and we were not able to make a determination about the accuracy and integrity of the election process based on this inspection,” Trump’s legal team said. “We are entitled to a computer forensic inspection in accordance with the judge’s order. We were prevented from doing one. This was a digital election and we were not allowed a digital inspection. The ‘inspection’ today was like trying to determine if a car had failed brakes without getting underneath the car.”


The Trump campaign alleges that 130,000 ballots from Clark County were verified using a machine they believe was not operated properly. They’ve long held the belief that President Trump is the true winner in Nevada. The Silver State has six electoral votes.


A hearing is to be held in Carson City, Nevada, on Thursday. “We have so much evidence we had to rent a separate car,” says Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, who’s with the Trump legal team in the state.



On Wednesday, Schlapp also said that “The numbers of illegal ballots in NV from outside Nevada has now doubled” from his original assessment of just 9,000.


 



	







	

		

	




			

		

		
		

			
							

		


	

		
	
		
	

		
		
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON DC PREDATORY MINOR CONSENT TO VACCINATION BILL B23-0171
		
		
 

	
		
		
					

			
		

						

	

						

		


			

	

	

		

	
 








Call for Unified Nationwide Action Asking DC Mayor to Veto B23-0171


Dear NVIC Advocacy Team Members,


PLEASE continue to contact the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, to tell her to VETO B23-0171. WE HAVE MORE TIME!  Spread this far and wide!


The DC City Council passed the dangerous and predatory bill B23-0171 by a final vote of 10:3 on Tuesday 11/17/2020. This law will not only permit children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent, the bill requires insurance companies, vaccine providers and schools to conceal the fact that the child has been vaccinated from the parent! It also sets up these young children to be targets of bullying and coercion to be vaccinated behind their parents’ backs!  We strongly oppose this bill.


The Mayor of DC has up to 10 days to respond.  There are three possible actions the Mayor can take: 1) Veto (our preferred action), which would stop the bill from becoming law as long as 2/3 of the council doesn’t vote to override the veto, (2) Sign, which would move the bill forward to Congress for review, or 3) No signature, which has the same effect as her signing it. 


Normally the bill would be sent to the Mayor after the bill is passed, and therefore the clock for 10 calendar days for the Mayor to respond would already be expired.


NVIC’s Director of Advocacy spoke directly with the legislative director of the DC Council this morning, and he told her that the DC Council has not sent the Mayor the bill yet for response, so the 10 day period has not even started. This is good news as we have more time to have more people contact the Mayor requesting a veto.


This delay is not typical, and no definitive reason was given for it although stressors from the current COVID-19 situation was cited as likely contributing. He also explained that once the DC Council sends the Mayor the bill, the legislative website will be automatically updated to reflect that. There will be an entry in the legislative history column indicating the bill is under review by the Mayor and the date it was sent will be included. The 10-calendar day countdown (excluding weekends and holidays) will start from there.  You can monitor this at https://lims.dccouncil.us/Legislation/B23-0171.


You may be wondering why you are receiving this update even if you don’t live in DC. Over the past 2 years, http://NVICAdvocacy.org has tracked and issued opposing positions on 33 various minor consent to vaccination bills filed across many states, and this is the only one that has passed.  Your opposition to the other bills filed in other states helped stop the rest. This bill is different and far worse from the others in that this is the only bill that compels authority figures in the child’s life to deliberately conceal the fact the child was vaccinated from the child’s parent! Also, this bill covers ALL ACIP recommended vaccines. DC is our nation’s capital, and if this is allowed to be implemented there, we can expect bills like this to threaten our children and families in all 50 states.  All of us in every state and DC need to work together to stop this.


We ALL need to all seize this opportunity of extra time to continue to let the Mayor know that America is watching and undermining the parent-child relationship and removing parental rights is not an acceptable action by government!


ACTION:


Contact DC Mayor Muriel Bowser IMMEDIATELY to VETO B23-0171 Vaccinating Children Behind Parents’ Backs
