QUOTE: Adam Creighton, Australian journalist and the Washington correspondent for The Australian wrote:
On the last day of November Texas launched extraordinary legal proceedings that could have wide-ranging political ramifications across the developed world.Following a lengthy state investigation, Republican Attorney-General Ken Paxton sued pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for “false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices” related to its Covid-19 vaccines.
Paxton didn’t mince words. “We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies,” he said in his November 30 statement.
“The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their Covid-19 vaccines. Whereas the Biden administration weaponised the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions.”
The allegations make for shocking reading, even for someone who has followed the Covid wars closely.
Pfizer appears to have exaggerated the effectiveness of its vaccines, making unfounded claims that routinely were parroted by governments, health officials and much of the mainstream media.
It’s not only Texans who have started to question the wisdom of forcing experimental vaccines with two months of clinical trial data on hundreds of millions of people. Australian academics Peter Parry and Peter Rhodes, in a forthcoming paper in journal Pathology – Research and Practice, lay out what they call “a historic public health disaster”.
Texas is suing under the state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. What’s on trial isn’t merely Pfizer but the institutions of governance in the developed world. If Texas wins, it will have highlighted perhaps the greatest medical fraud in history, and the abject failure of medical regulators on a scale at least as large as banking and financial regulators in 2008.

Courage
Aristotle wrote: Courage is the first virtue that makes all the other virtues possible.
We are seeing acts of courage and we pray for and encourage more.
The past week saw several cases of the left being caught in blatant violations of the First Amendment. When this happens, the left scurries to delete the evidence. They have been allowed to operate without challenge. That is changing. We pray that it happens faster.
Twitter(X) contributor, DCDraino, put it well:
-Harvard deleted their website pages talking about DEI and racial segregation
-IBM shut down its company chat room after execs were caught punishing workers for not excluding enough white men
-Boston Mayor Wu apologized after getting caught throwing a party where white people weren’t allowed
If DEI is so virtuous, why do they always delete evidence once their racism is exposed?

US ‘intentionally released Covid virus in Wuhan’ EU summit told
QUOTE:
The Covid-19 coronavirus was “intentionally released” by the United States in Wuhan, China, with the target to trigger a global pandemic to raise public acceptance of vaccines, a US businessman specializing in patent auditing said.
David Martin, the founding chairman of M Cam asset management company, said at an International Covid Summit organized by the European Parliament in Brussels earlier this month that the US was responsible for the making of both coronaviruses causing the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome – or SARS – in 2003 and the Covid-19 pandemic in the past three years. https://www.thestandard.com.hk/section-news/section/11/252653/US-‘intentionally-released-Covid-virus-in-Wuhan’-EU-summit-told
Family says they saved dad’s life by sneaking him ivermectin during 200-day hospitalization
QUOTE: One man’s family took his care into their own hands when he was hospitalized with COVID-19. As a result, they believe they may have saved his life.
Shannon Fletcher, daughter of David Dentz, spoke with Liz Collin this week to share her dad’s story and long battle with COVID.
Dentz was hospitalized with COVID-19 for 208 days, one of the longest COVID stays in the state. Not until his family began slipping him ivermectin did his health begin to look up, Fletcher said.
Methodist Hospital’s protocols required doctors to not administer ivermectin, Fletcher said. Two weeks into Dentz’s hospital stay, Fletcher and her family were paying out of pocket for an advocate and an attorney, trying to get Dentz help the hospital would not provide.
They were not allowed to visit him during this time, and the family held a “Save Dave” protest outside of the facility. Fletcher believes her father, who was not vaccinated, received worse treatment than those who were vaccinated against COVID.
The hospital “shamed” the family when they didn’t want to give up on Dentz’s life, Fletcher said. Finally, Fletcher decided she wanted to bring ivermectin to her father and slip some in his mouth.
“There’s nothing that they’re going to do, and [they’re] already telling me he’s going to die, so we might as well try it,” Fletcher said.
After she succeeded once with the plan, her family continued sneaking ivermectin paste into Dentz’s mouth over the next five days.
“[The amount] was based on weight, so we took a small amount — and I know the media is going to put it down and call people crazy and this and that — but I don’t care because I believe he’s here for that reason,” Fletcher said.
“The day after we gave him ivermectin, Angie got a call and the doctor said she could not believe the progress that he was making. The very next day.”
Then Dentz was transferred out of the hospital to a specialist who said he was “overmedicated” and “over sedated,” according to Fletcher.
Over 200 days from his first admittance, Dentz was discharged. Fletcher said he struggles to breathe and has stage 3 kidney failure due to the remdesivir.

“Considering where we were, he’s doing amazing,” she said.
Doctors Can Sue FDA for Condemning Ivermectin as a COVID-19 Treatment, Resulting Reputational Harm
QUOTE: A federal appeals court allowed three doctors to sue the FDA over a series of website and social media posts condemning ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19. The doctors alleged the FDA exceeded its authority by offering medical advice and “that FDA’s messaging interfered with their own individual medical practice.”
The lawsuit stems from a series of FDA posts advising consumers not to take horse ivermectin but failing to acknowledge the existence of a human ivermectin formulation, including one tweet advising consumers, “Hold your horses, y’all”:
The trial court dismissed the doctors’ lawsuit after finding sovereign immunity barred their three claims. The appeals court reversed on one claim, finding plausible the argument the FDA exceeded its statutory authority by offering medical advice instead of medical information.
The firm Boyden Gray, which represents the doctors, issued a press release praising the decision: In a matter critical to stopping federal overreach into the practice of medicine, Boyden Gray PLLC welcomes a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit . . . rejecting the government’s blanket assertion of sovereign immunity and allowing the case to proceed.
Dr. Robert Apter alleges he was twice referred to state medical boards for prescribing ivermectin off-label, with the referrals citing the FDA’s posts.
Dr. Apter and Dr. Mary Bowden allege pharmacies refused to fill their ivermectin prescriptions because of the FDA’s posts. Dr. Bowden claims she lost admitting privileges at a hospital after tweeting about using ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
Dr. Paul Marik, co-leader of FLCCC, alleges he lost positions at a medical school and hospital “for promoting the use of ivermectin.”

Hospitalizations up, so is fear
The Biden administration will deliver another round of free at-home COVID-19 tests nationwide through its COVIDTests dot gov website, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said.
The site, one of the few places where free rapid COVID tests are still available for Americans after the end of the pandemic emergency in May, resumed its operations last September ahead of the winter months and a potential spike in infections.
For those who have already ordered four free at-home rapid tests through the site, an additional four tests will be available per household at no cost. Otherwise, anyone who has yet to place orders this fall can order eight tests per household.
Since September, about 14.5M households have ordered a total of 58M tests, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), a unit within HHS, said.
“We’re going to see families gather with older loved ones and younger loved ones and it’s important that they are able to protect their loved ones from COVID as we head into the winter months,” head of ASPR Dawn O’Connell noted.
According to latest CDC data, as of Nov. 11, weekly COVID hospitalizations in the U.S. have exceeded 16K with ~9% rise from 15K a week ago.
Mark Silvey Endorsement
Republican voters in Southwest Arkansas’ District 3, which stretches from Bismarck to the Louisiana line, including the cities of Arkadelphia, Gurdon, Hope, Prescott, and Magnolia, could have no better choice for State Senator than Mark Silvey of Nevada County. Mark Silvey might not be a name you recognize from politics, and we think that’s a good thing. He is a pastor, a small business owner, and a citizen who realizes it’s time for regular folks to get off the sidelines and become involved in government. Silvey stands strongly against mandates of any kind; he is for complete abolition of abortion; he will fight against libraries that provide pornography to minors; and he believes state government should be fiscally responsible, accountable to the taxpayers, and transparent. Silvey believes in educational freedom; he reminds that children belong to the parents, not the state. The bottom line – Mark is the real deal; you’ll never have to spend any time asking him to vote correctly, because he will be a true one hundred percent patriot senator. Our entire state will be blessed with this freedom-fighter in the state senate. Please join us in supporting Mark Silvey for State Senate, and consider a donation to his campaign: https://www.silveyforsenate.com/
FOIAs uncover new data on adverse events
Defendant the Republic (DTR) has just obtained another set of documents from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relating to the agency’s approval of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine “Spikevax.” DTR received these Moderna files as a result of its ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the FDA. They are available for download below.
The new records include a listing of adverse events for thousands of clinical participants who received doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. The adverse events, many of which started mere days after vaccination, include: elevated blood pressure, swollen lymph nodes, high fevers and fatigue, rashes, and vertigo.
These are just some of the adverse reactions that clinical trial participants had to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. In July of 2023, DTR released the initial set of Moderna documents – the first significant release of data from Moderna’s COVID-19 clinical trials – which revealed serious adverse events following the company’s vaccine, including death and neurological disorders.
Also released are: summaries of the duration of days that passed from the date of injection (for both the first and second shots) and the onset of adverse reactions; Moderna responses to FDA comments concerning vaccine effectiveness; and other FDA comments to Moderna concerning the clinical results.
Before the end of the year, DTR anticipates the FDA, in compliance with its FOIA obligations, will produce thousands more pages of Moderna records. We will summarize and release those records to the public once available.

Fort Smith Town Hall on FOIA
The Western Arkansas Transparency in Government (TIGG) will sponsor a town hall meeting to discuss and get public comment regarding the new amendment to the Arkansas constitution known as the “Arkansas Government Transparency Amendment”, which will enshrine the Arkansas Freedom of information Act in our state constitution and provide additional safeguards to protect our sunshine laws. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 24th, at 5:45PM at the Fort Smith Public Library (Community Room), 3201 Rogers Avenue, Fort Smith. The event is free, and the public and elected officials are encouraged to attend and participate.
The Fort Smith Townhall will be the first of a series of meetings across the state. There will be a townhall meeting in Fayetteville (October 26th) and West Memphis (October 30th). Details will be announced on those meetings soon.
Western Arkansas TIGG founder, Joey McCutchen, will moderate the town hall meeting. The meeting will feature FOIA experts from across Arkansas, who will discuss and explain the substance and importance of the amendment.
McCutchen said, “The language of the “Arkansas Government Transparency Amendment” will make the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act one of strongest, if not the strongest, government transparency and sunshine laws in the entire country.”

SC State Library Cuts Ties With Librarian Group That Hired ‘Marxist’ Coordinator, Cites ‘Tone Deaf’ Partisanship
The South Carolina State Library has officially terminated its partnership with the American Library Association (ALA), citing the group’s alleged partisanship, according to a letter shared Sept. 26.
The ALA selected Emily Drabinski — who described herself as a “Marxist lesbian” in a since-deleted tweet — to head the group in 2022. Drabinski said she hoped to use her position at the library to examine the “consequences of decades of unchecked climate change, class war, white supremacy, and imperialism have led us here.
The Montana State Library (MSL) Commission voted in July to leave the ALA, writing that, “Our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist.”
“Your organization, the national organization for libraries, has a professional obligation to provide resources that can be utilized by libraries and librarians to serve their patrons,” Aiken’s letter continued. “While this can be challenging, it is possible with inclusion and diversity. My hope is that this letter, the loss of membership, and the additional voices of my colleagues in the field will create reflection and action within ALA to be guided by the mission ‘to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.'”
The ALA has been working to kill legislation that prohibits librarians from distributing sexually explicit materials to minors. The group has argued such laws would “impair” librarians’ ability to effectively distribute “diverse” materials to community readers. The ALA is using an “adverse library legislation tracker” to target these and other laws, including legislation that seeks to protect parents’ rights. Members of the ALA were encouraged to work with “grasstops advocates who can engage with lawmakers and influencers” to defeat such “adverse” bills.
