When Google is Wrong About Unreliable and Harmful Content
Google says our site is "Unreliable and has harmful claims and must fix". This is an example of big tech censorship that has gone wrong. Google is never specific about what it feels is harmful. It makes broad generalizations about their claims with no specifics.

Declaration of Independence From Institutions That Lack Integrity
The Robert Malone Doctrine
Hello Everyone! As many of my friends have requested that I write a newsletter on a more regular basis, this is an initial attempt to honor that request!
Due to my new reality as someone willing to bring truth to power, my wife Jill and I have been traveling extensively. This fall we have gone to Rome, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Maui, Alaska, Texas and Florida trying to save lives and expose what we believe to be an extremely corrupt situation with big pharma, world governments, big tech legacy media, and national and international public health organizations working together to make authoritarianism the new world reality through censorship, lockdowns, mandates, job loss and slander of people willing to share information outside of the “official” CDC and WHO positions. Through this process, I have been slandered and censored. This is the behavior of bullies, thugs, and third-tier intellects. One reporter recently referred to me as the “most vilified scientist in the world.”
This has been quite exhausting and yet also strangely rewarding. I believe that “we”, and I mean the collective “we” of myself and so many of my colleagues, are slowly making a difference. People from all walks of life and political spectrums are self-assembling and working together for the common good. Examples include:
The International Alliance of Physicians and Scientists (https://globalcovidsummit.org/)
EU-based group: Ippocrate (https://ippocrateorg.org/)
The Council of Nations United for Life and Truth (CONUVIVE) in Latin America
North American-based organizations:
FLCCC (https://covid19criticalcare.com/), AAPS (https://www.aaps.org/home)
Children’s Health Defense (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/)
Unity Project (https://unityprojectonline.com/)
All of these organizations are committed to coming up with new ways of thinking about organizational structure and bioethics. Bioethical standards and the laws that enforce them matter - that has become crystal clear in all of this. And whether or not one believes that SARS-CoV-2 is the result of a gain-of-function research, it is clear that it is time to revisit and update the international biowarfare treaty.
So, a few weeks ago, Jill and I found ourselves in Maui. It was most definitely not a vacation! We were there to spread the word that mandates do not have a place in a free society (particularly for experimental drugs and vaccines), that a wide range of drugs works to save lives from COVID-19 if administered early during the infection, that children with their very low risk of disease do not need to be vaccinated unless they are high risk and/or have co-morbidities and that physicians, including physicians on Maui, must be able to practice medicine without interference from government, hospitals or insurance companies.
That trip was very successful. We were able to meet and educate many politicians and physicians on Maui and on other islands. There was a successful medical professional teaching workshop and a rally attended by 4,000 people. In this, I need to specifically acknowledge Dr. Ryan Cole, Steve Kirsch and Dr. Richard Urso, who were also in Maui to help share their knowledge and to spread the word.
While Jill and I were in Maui, we were approached by some amazing thought leaders on the island, by the names of Andrew Aken, Edward Dowd, Thomas Lewis, and Barry O'Keefe. These men came to us with a document they had written entitled “The Malone Doctrine”. This doctrine, regarding integrity in organizations, is fundamentally important.
We believe that “The Malone Doctrine” should become a central component of the core values and guiding principles for any ethical organization involved in health and wellness oversight, delivery, policy and/or medical research. Every physician that I have asked to review this document has agreed - this gets right to the heart of the problem, which has resulted in this amazingly dysfunctional global public health response to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. A pervasive lack of integrity.
We will be writing and discussing this concept in more detail for weeks, months and years to come.
Please join me in our quest to build out “the Malone Doctrine” as a new way to bring integrity to organizations.
For those who need further convincing, I suggest the following peer-reviewed paper:
COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, and a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Background: Much research shows that blood calcidiol (25(OH)D3) levels correlate strongly with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity. There is an open discussion regarding whether low D3 is caused by the infection or if deficiency negatively affects the immune defense. The aim of this study was to collect further evidence on this topic.
Methods: Systematic literature search was performed to identify retrospective cohort as well as clinical studies on COVID-19 mortality rates versus D3 blood levels. Mortality rates from clinical studies were corrected for age, sex, and diabetes. Data were analyzed using correlation and linear regression.
Results: One population study and seven clinical studies were identified, which reported D3 blood levels preinfection or on the day of hospital admission. The two independent datasets showed a negative Pearson correlation of D3 levels and mortality risk (r(17) = -0.4154, p = 0.0770/r(13) = -0.4886, p = 0.0646). For the combined data, median (IQR) D3 levels were 23.2 ng/mL (17.4-26.8), and a significant Pearson correlation was observed (r(32) = -0.3989, p = 0.0194). Regression suggested a theoretical point of zero mortality at approximately 50 ng/mL D3.
Conclusions: The datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than just a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.
Interviews, podcasts, and shows have also become my new daily reality. I enjoy doing these, as they are a great tool to educate and bring awareness to the issues of stopping the mandates, allowing physicians to practice medicine, administer lifesaving drugs and limit untested COVID-19 vaccines to children. It is also the way we can work to break the censorship that is overtaking the internet.
In this capacity, “The New American” recently interviewed me at the farm and produced a quality video on many topics regarding COVID-19. This interview captures much of my current thinking on the COVID-19 public health response. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend this video. It is also a good one to share to friends and family. Click on the button below to view:
New American Interview: “Dr. Robert Malone: “This is the Largest Experiment Performed on Human Beings in the History of the World.””
To wrap this newsletter up. I wish the best to all of you and us in our fight to do what is right. My big takeaway in all of this today is that integrity matters.
Integrity in governments.
Integrity in organizations.
Integrity in nonprofit organizations.
Integrity in communities.
Integrity in our families.
…and most importantly, it starts with each of us.
Integrity within ourselves.
That is it for now!
Sincerely, Robert (and Jill)

Trump announces new TRUTH social network and media group to fight ‘tyranny of Big Tech’
TRUTH Social is America’s “Big Tent” social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.
Shares of Trump-linked SPAC close up 350% following news of social media deal. The stock of SPAC company Digital World Acquisition Corp. skyrocketed on extremely heavy trading volume after news of a merger that would launch former President Donald Trump’s planned social media platform.
Follow the stock on Reddit $DWAC
Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC) have entered into a definitive merger agreement, providing for a business combination that will result in Trump Media & Technology Group becoming a publicly listed company, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval. The transaction values Trump Media & Technology Group at an initial enterprise value of $875 Million, with a potential additional earnout of $825 Million in additional shares (at the valuation they are granted) for a cumulative valuation of up to $1.7 Billion depending on the performance of the stock price post-business combination. Trump Media & Technology Group’s growth plans initially will be funded by DWAC’s cash in trust of $293 Million (assuming no redemptions).
Trump Media & Technology Group's mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the "Big Tech” companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.
Trump Media & Technology Group (“TMTG”) will soon be launching a social network, named "TRUTH Social." TRUTH Social is now available for Pre-Order in the Apple App store. TRUTH Social plans to begin its Beta Launch for invited guests in November 2021. A nationwide rollout is expected in the first quarter of 2022. Those who are interested in joining TRUTH Social may now visit Truthsocial.com to sign up for the invite list.
President Donald J. Trump, the Chairman of TMTG, stated, “I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I'm excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!”
Patrick F. Orlando, Chairman/CEO of DWAC, stated, "Digital World was formed to create public shareholder value and we believe that TMTG is one of the most promising business combination partners to fulfill that purpose. DWAC currently has $293 Million in trust, assuming minimal redemptions, which can fuel TMTG’s scale up, including to provide world class leading technology services to build strong and secure social networks and diverse media offerings. Given the total addressable market and President Trump’s large following, we believe the TMTG opportunity has the potential to create significant shareholder value.”
Additionally, TMTG intends to launch a subscription video on demand service (TMTG+). TMTG+ will feature 'non-woke' entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more. TMTG has named Scott St. John as the leader of TMTG+ Corporate Operations. Scott St. John is the Executive Producer of “Deal or No Deal’ and “America’s Got Talent” and has produced over 1,000 hours of Network and Cable TV.
Please visit TMTG’s corporate website at www.tmtgcorp.com for a Company Overview, and a video tour of TRUTH Social.

GoFundMe Takes Down Campaign For Litigation Over Vax Mandate
The company now insists that it will only allow people to gather on the site if it believes their views are true and correct.
However, it was still surprising to see the site takedown a fundraising account for litigation against vaccine mandates.
The effort of former nurse Jennifer Bridges was simply to get such matters before the courts, which can be the ultimate authority on what is “misinformation.”
GoFundMe however blocked people from contributing to the litigation.
Bridges is a former registered nurse at Houston Methodist hospital who was fired after refusing to comply with the hospital’s vaccine requirement. She raised more than $180,000 for her lawsuit before being shut down under the company’s “misinformation” policy.
Heidi Hagberg, a spokesperson for GoFundMe, said in a statement to Business Insider that “when our team initially reviewed the fundraiser, it was within our terms of service as the funds were for legal fees to fight vaccine mandates. The fundraiser has since been updated to include misinformation which violates our terms of service.”
What is striking about this latest ban is that the courts are the place for such claims to be weighed in a neutral and dispassionate forum. “Misinformation” can be addressed by judges after both sides are allowed to present evidence. Bridges’ lawsuit was dismissed in June, Bridges’ attorneys appealed the decision. We should all favor such reviews. Indeed, if GoFundMe believes that Bridges is wrong, it should invite further judicial review to establish a clear record on such issues.
GoFundMe admits to having taken down “hundreds” of fundraisers that included statements of “misinformation related to vaccines.”
I do not agree with the arguments against the vaccine. I and my family are vaccinated. However, I am equally concerned with avoiding the growing virus of censorship. In the last few years, we have seen an increasing call for private censorship from Democratic politicians and liberal commentators. Faculty and editors are now actively supporting modern versions of book-burning with blacklists and bans for those with opposing political views. The most chilling aspect of this story is how many on the left applaud such censorship. A new poll shows roughly half of the public supporting not just corporate censorship but government censorship of anything deemed “misinformation.”
Free speech can be its own disinfectant for bad speech.
GoFundMe is a private company and can impose such rules on users. However, it is an act of censorship and it is a denial of free speech by a corporation.
In this case, the company is preventing its site from being used to raise money to allow courts to review the factual and legal basis for these claims — a curious effort for a company that claims to be fighting “misinformation.”

Vaccine Passports Set the Stage for Increased Surveillance
Western Acceptance of The Deceptively Labeled "Vaccine Passport" Will Usher in The Global Enslavement of Mankind and Allow the Communist Dictator "State" To Decide Whether You Live or Die.
It’s likely only a matter of time before you’ll be asked to prove your vaccination status in order to carry on with your daily life.
Story at-a-glance:
The U.K. government has given sizable grants to a number of private companies developing vaccine passports and digital certificates that show vaccination status.
It’s likely only a matter of time before you’ll be asked to prove your vaccination status in order to carry on with your daily life.
This blatant move toward an ever-increasing surveillance state is being welcomed by many who have been led to believe they’re necessary to protect public health and safety.
In the U.S., universities continue to institute lockdowns for students, going so far as to ban even outdoor exercise.
While many countries have suggested that the COVID-19 vaccine will not be mandated, by giving special privileges to the vaccinated, such as the ability to travel, attend social events or even enter a workplace, it essentially amounts to the same thing and insinuates a “cleaner” class of people in those who have been vaccinated.
For a weary public longing to get back to normalcy, vaccine passports represent a tantalizing carrot, being dangled as a mechanism for freedom. By showing proof that you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, perhaps you can once again board an airplane and travel freely, attend a concert or enjoy a meal in your favorite restaurant, just like you used to.
Except, being required to present your “papers” in order to live your life isn’t actually freedom at all — it’s discrimination, and even a move toward technocratic fascism, one that’s setting the stage for increased surveillance and erosion of your privacy.
Nonetheless, this blatant move toward an ever-increasing surveillance state is being welcomed by many who have been led to believe the passports are necessary to protect public health and safety.
Vaccine passports are in development
It’s likely only a matter of time before you’ll be asked to prove your vaccination status in order to carry on with your daily life. “The government seems to be developing vaccine passports by stealth, making sure the technology is in place for anyone who needs it,” wrote Lara Prendergast, The Spectator’s assistant editor.
She’s referring to the U.K. government, which has given sizable grants to a number of private companies developing such technology. This includes more than $86,000 to Logifect, to create and launch a vaccine passport app, and more than $104,000 to iProov and Mvine, which are developing digital certificates that show vaccination status.
As Prendergast noted, “Your phone would most likely be your vaccination passport. Everyone’s vaccination status is already being logged centrally by the National Immunization Vaccination System using their NHS number. This information could be easily linked with an app.”
Around the world, vaccine passports are rapidly being rolled out, including in Denmark, which was one of the first to roll them out. As of September 2021, dozens of countries around the world have implemented vaccine passports, while in the U.S., plans for vaccine IDs are under evaluation. International efforts are also underway.
The Commons Project and the World Economic Forum created the Common Trust Network, which developed the CommonPass app that’s intended to act as a health passport.
The app allows users to upload medical data such as a COVID-19 test result or proof of vaccination, which then generates a QR code that you will show to authorities as your health passport.
The proposed common framework “for safe border reopening” around the world involves the following:
Every nation must publish their health screening criteria for entry into the country using a standard format on a common framework.
Each country must register trusted facilities that conduct COVID-19 lab testing for foreign travel and administer vaccines listed in the CommonPass registry.
Each country will accept health screening status from foreign visitors through apps and services built on the CommonPass framework.
Patient identification is to be collected at the time of sample collection and/or vaccination using an international standard.
The CommonPass framework will be integrated into flight and hotel reservation check-in processes.
Eventually, the CommonPass framework will be integrated with already existing personal health apps such as Apple Health and CommonHealth. If you want to travel, your personal health record will be evaluated and compared to a country’s entry requirements, and if you don’t meet them, you’ll be directed to an approved testing and vaccination location.
Majority are in favor of ‘privacy-encroaching technology’
Even as overall mortality data separating deaths “from” COVID and “with” COVID show COVID-19 is hardly the deadly pandemic it’s been made out to be, fear-mongering remains in full effect — including warnings on the more infectious, mutated strain of SARS-CoV-2, Delta.
With fear still omnipresent, acceptance of “privacy-encroaching technology” that promises an illusion of safety is high.
In the U.K., researchers from the University of Bristol conducted two large surveys about such technologies, with overwhelming positivity reported. The first measured public acceptance of location tracking through your cellphone that would allow health agencies to monitor your contact with others to target social distancing and quarantine measures.
About 70% of the respondents said they would accept such an app that they could choose to download and, surprisingly, 65% also said they would accept such an app even if it was mandated by the government and used to locate those violating lockdown orders and issue fines and arrests.
A second survey evaluated acceptance of vaccine passports, with 60% stating they were in favor and only 20% stating they were strongly opposed. The study’s lead author, professor Stephan Lewandowsky, described those opposed as “surprisingly low,” adding, “It’s fascinating how people seem increasingly receptive to their personal data being used to inform themselves and others about what they can and can’t do.”
Prendergast put this widespread acceptance into further context for the British, who “have traditionally been deeply suspicious of the idea of an official asking for ‘papers, please‘”:
“[This] … is why there was such a backlash against Blair’s ID cards. As one journalist at the time put it:
“’If I am ever asked to produce my ID card as evidence that I am who I say I am, when I have done nothing wrong and when I am simply ambling along and breathing God’s fresh air like any other freeborn Englishman, then I will take that card out of my wallet and physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state has demanded that I produce it.’
“That journalist is now our Prime Minister. It would be an extraordinary turn of events if Boris Johnson ended up being the man who introduced an immunity identity system in Britain.”
U.S. universities institute jail-like restrictions
At every turn, long-standing societal norms — like college students gathering with friends in their dorm or even leaving their rooms for work and exercise — are disappearing. As of Feb. 7, for instance, the University of Massachusetts Amherst was in a “high risk” operational mode due to a “continuing surge in COVID-19 cases.”
The status, which was to be in place for a minimum of 14 days, made all classes remote and ordered all students, whether residing on or off campus, to self-sequester in their residences, except to get meals, attend medical appointments or undergo twice-weekly COVID testing.
Violating these orders would result in “disciplinary action,” according to a university press release, which could include removal from residence halls or suspension. Students were also informed that, should they decide to leave campus to self-sequester at home, “it is highly unlikely we will be able to accommodate your return.”
Even within a residence hall, students were told to remain in their rooms at all times except when using a restroom on their floor. Outdoor exercise or attending to the immediate needs of a pet was allowed, but only when wearing a mask and maintaining social distancing.
This wasn’t the case at UC Berkeley, however, which banned outdoor exercise in addition to extending dormitory lockdowns in February 2021. The only times students were allowed to leave their rooms during the lockdown were to obtain medical care, get required COVID tests, use an assigned bathroom or to obtain food from an outdoor dining kiosk, after which they were required to return immediately to their rooms.
Are you clean enough to travel?
While many countries have suggested that the COVID-19 vaccine will not be mandated, by giving special privileges to the vaccinated, such as the ability to travel, attend social events or even enter a workplace, it essentially amounts to the same thing and insinuates a “cleaner” class of people in those who have been vaccinated.
It’s reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic, when hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes were flying off store shelves in a frenzy to clean away COVID. Now we know that transmission of COVID-19 by fomites — the term used for inanimate surfaces and objects that can transmit a pathogen — has been exaggerated.
Emanuel Goldman, a microbiology professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, suggested this in July 2020, when he stated that studies suggesting SARS-CoV-2 was easily spread via surfaces did not present real-life situation.
“In my opinion, the chance of transmission through inanimate surfaces is very small,” he said, and while period disinfection of surfaces, especially in hospitals, was a reasonable precaution, in public settings, he noted, “this can go to extremes not justified by the data.”
In February 2021, an editorial in Nature supported Goldman’s work, suggesting that costly and toxic disinfection efforts are misguided.
“Catching the coronavirus from surfaces is rare. The World Health Organization and national public health agencies need to clarify their advice,” the editorial reads. Yet, the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority alone is spending an estimated $380 million annually on COVID-related sanitation, and when it asked the U.S. government whether they should be focusing on fomites or solely aerosols, they were told to continue their focus on fomites.
Writing in The Atlantic, Derek Thompson describes this as a type of “hygiene theater,” in which Americans are going through the motions of dutifully cleaning and, likely, over-disinfecting surfaces when the virus spreads most efficiently through the air.
Indeed, much of the COVID-19 pandemic response has been embroiled in theatrics, including mask mandates, for which the scientific evidence has been described as “astonishingly weak.”
Hygiene theater, much like the theater for vaccine passports, provides an illusion of safety, not one grounded in reality.
10-State Coalition Supporting Ban on Big Tech Censorship
Texas Attorney General Paxton announced on Sept. 20 that he is leading a coalition of 10 states in filing an amicus brief with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of Florida’s law that attempts to regulate censorship on Big Tech social media platforms.
Paxton signed on behalf of Texas, joining the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, and South Carolina who have also filed an amicus brief in support of Florida’s law.
“The regulation of big tech censorship will inevitably suppress the ideas and beliefs of millions of Americans,” Paxton said in a statement. “I will defend the First Amendment and ensure that conservative voices have the right to be heard. Big Tech does not have the authority to police the expressions of people whose political viewpoint they simply disagree with.”
Florida’s SB 7072 law allows Floridians to take legal action against Big Tech platforms if they censor a user’s content without consistent standards.
The new bill also prevents Big Tech from banning Floridian political candidates. Social media companies that deplatform candidates for statewide office will be fined $250,000 a day. The fine is $25,000 per day when deplatforming candidates for other offices.
Big Tech companies that violate the law can be brought to trial for monetary damage, and the state’s attorney general can litigate companies that don’t comply with the law under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law in May but District Judge Robert Hinkle in June granted a temporary injunction preventing the governor from implementing the law after two Internet trade groups—NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association— filed a lawsuit.
The trade groups argued the law may violate the First Amendment by compelling social media platforms to host offensive speech they otherwise would not and by interfering with their editorial policies.
The coalition in its amicus brief said the district court’s First Amendment analysis is “riddled with errors.”
“It veered off course from the outset by concluding that S.B. 7072 regulates speech when that law instead regulates conduct that is unprotected by the First Amendment: social media platforms’ arbitrary application of their content moderation policies,” the coalition wrote.
Earlier this month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed Texas’s House Bill 20—similar to Florida’s law—which protects Texans from wrongful censorship on social media platforms.
House Bill 20 prevents social media companies with more than 50 million monthly users, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, from banning users based on their political beliefs. The attorney general would also be able to take legal action on behalf of Texas residents that were banned or blocked by a platform due to such discrimination.
“We will always defend the freedom of speech in Texas,” Abbott said. “Social media websites have become our modern-day public square. They are a place for healthy public debate where information should be able to flow freely—but there is a dangerous movement by social media companies to silence conservative viewpoints and ideas. That is wrong, and we will not allow it in Texas. I thank Senator Bryan Hughes, Representative Briscoe Cain, and the Texas Legislature for ensuring that House Bill 20 reached my desk during the second special session.”

YouTube Has Censored 1 Million Videos For Having Opposing Views
YouTube has removed 1 million videos for dangerous COVID-19 misinformation (aka opposing views) since February 2020, according to YouTube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mahon.
Mahon shared the statistic in a blog post outlining how the company approaches misinformation on its platform. “Misinformation has moved from the marginal to the mainstream,” he wrote. “No longer contained to the sealed-off worlds of Holocaust deniers or 9-11 truthers, it now stretches into every facet of society, sometimes tearing through communities with blistering speed.”
At the same time, the Youtube executive argued that “bad content” accounts for only a small percentage of YouTube content overall. “Bad content represents only a tiny percentage of the billions of videos on YouTube (about .16-.18% of total views turn out to be content that violates our policies),” Mahon wrote. He added that YouTube removes almost 10 million videos each quarter, “the majority of which don’t even reach 10 views.”
Facebook recently made a similar argument about content on its platform. The social network published a report last week that claimed that the most popular posts are memes and other non-political content. And, faced with criticism over its handling of COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation, the company has argued that vaccine misinformation isn’t representative of the kind of content most users see.
Both Facebook and YouTube have come under particular scrutiny for their policies around health misinformation during the pandemic. Both platforms have well over a billion users, which means that even a small fraction of content can have a far-reaching impact. And both platforms have so far declined to disclose details about how vaccine and health misinformation spreads or how many users are encountering it. Mahon also said that removing misinformation is only one aspect of the company’s approach. YouTube is also working on “ratcheting up information from trusted sources and reducing the spread of videos with harmful misinformation.”
Here are some YouTube video alternatives people are moving to.

Larry Elder Vows To Reverse Vaccine, Mask Mandates
Elder said he believes vaccines work and that he’s gotten a shot, but has throughout the campaign emphasized his belief that freedom is important.
California governor candidate Larry Elder is vowing to reverse any COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates Gov. Gavin Newsom has put in place if he’s chosen to replace the Democrat.
Elder told reporters on Aug. 13 that he saw the possibility of fresh mandates being issued by Newsom and other officials in California.
“If I become governor, when I become governor, assuming there are mandates for masks and statewide mandates for vaccines, they will be suspended right away. This is America. We have freedom in America. Virtually anyone in California who wants to be vaccinated can do so,” Elder said during a press conference, local media reported.
Newsom, in his first term, is facing a recall election.
Voters are slated to head to the polls on Sept. 14. Some have already received mail-in ballots.
Voters can choose to recall Newsom. If they do, they’ll also select who would replace him.
Elder, an EpochTV host, is the leading GOP candidate in the recall race, according to several polls.
Newsom last week ordered teachers and other school employees to either get a COVID-19 vaccine or get tested regularly for COVID-19, several weeks after he issued a similar order for state and health care workers.
Newsom responded last week to Elder’s pledge during a recent press conference.
“Day one, he proudly states, as do all the other Republican candidates, day one, they proudly state, day one, that they would eliminate any mask requirements in our public schools to keep our kids safe and healthy and in-person to get the social, emotional support they deserve. Day one he would repeal that as he would repeal any requirement for vaccine verifications, including [for] health care workers,” he told reporters.
How The Government Makes Twitter Censor Free Speech
Dr.SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT Ph.D. joined Stew Peters and exposed the REAL source of censorship, while addressing 'hopium', which he believes has stalled Americans from truly regaining freedom. Read his historic Twitter lawsuit filed as a result of being silenced by Twitter during his Senate election run.
This is the first lawsuit to expose how the government censors U.S. citizens’ speech on Twitter. For years we were told Twitter acts on its own as a private company and you cannot question their decisions. Following the de-platforming of Dr.SHIVA, testimony and hearings in Federal court elicited how the government and Twitter have created an infrastructure for government to launder censorship of speech through Twitter. This website provides all documents as they emerge in this historic lawsuit. The presiding Federal Judge declared this case is one of the substantial constitutional consequences and a lawsuit that will likely become “a law school exam in Constitutional Law.”
Dr. Shiva reveals the silent Government agencies that are the censorship arm of Twitter. Twitter simply reacts to the demands of these agencies to de-platform people who they feel are a threat to the narrative. These agencies are enabled by Democrats and Republicans as Trump created the agency and now Biden is abusing it.
#1 - Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency CISA - We lead the Nation’s efforts to understand and manage risk to our critical infrastructure. CISA is the Nation’s risk advisor, working with partners to defend against today’s threats and collaborating to build more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future. @CISAgov
#2 - IT-ISAC IT Information Sharing & Analysis Center is a non-profit corporation formed by IT companies as a specialized forum for managing risks to their corporations and the IT infrastructure. @ITISAC
Dr. Shiva called out Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, by name, but eluded to the root of the issues, illustrating the reality that figureheads in government are constantly discussing and polarizing issues, but never really presenting a physical or realistic solution.

This Coronavirus App Tells You To Quarantine and Restricts Your Movement Regardless of Your Symptoms
Democrats in The United States want to hire 100,000 contact tracers with the help of Apple iOS to do contact tracing. Here is their plan to control your life and restrict your freedoms.
Democrats in The United States want to hire 100,000 contact tracers with the help of Apple iOS to do contact tracing. This simple innocent iOS14 app will turn into something far different in the future.
In parallel with helping the United States to shift from population-level interventions
to more precise case-based interventions, this initiative could provide an income to
many who have lost their earnings as a result of the pandemic. Strategic management,
training, and support for this workforce will be necessary, and technology must be
explored as a force multiplier. Federal, state, territorial, tribal, and local governments
each have a role to play to successfully advance this ambitious expansion of existing
local, state, and territorial public health capabilities.
Now is the time for Congress, the administration, and the country to come together
to adequately fund and implement contact tracing at this required scale. The goal of
adding at least 100,000 new contact tracers in the United States and managing their
work, while challenging, is achievable with appropriate financial support and a collective
commitment. Read the full document.
In order to relax community mitigation efforts and other measures to reduce COVID-19
transmission, it is essential to rapidly test all symptomatic cases of COVID-19, identify
and isolate all positive cases, and conduct contact tracing for all close contacts of each
and every case. This level of case-based intervention will help enable a lessening of
social distancing measures, but it can be accomplished only by massively scaling up
the local and state public health workforce—on the order of 100,000 newly engaged
workers—to assist with the enormous and unprecedented task of contact investigation
and containment on this scale.
AAPL Plunges After iPhone Sales Miss, China Revenues Plummet, Lack Of Forecast. Now that Apple is losing revenue in China you know they are going to start following China's lead and I suspect they are going to use Government services and contact tracing has their next revenue opportunity.
Facebook, Twitter, Google CEOs Full Censorship Senate Testimony
These 3 companies are the single greatest threat to free speech!
NY Post is the 4th highest circulated news media and was censored!
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified at a virtual Senate hearing on whether the technology industry enables bad behavior. Ted Cruz grilled Big Tech CEOs over bias concerns; 'The Five' weigh-in.
Jack Dorsey perjured himself today lying about the NY Post being on Twitter regarding Hunter Biden.
"Mr. Dorsey, who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear, and why do you persist in behaving as a Democratic super PAC silencing views to the contrary of your political beliefs?" Cruz asked.
Dorsey claimed that this was not the case. He also denied that Twitter has the ability to influence elections, a claim that Cruz derided as "absurd."
“You’re testifying to this committee right now that Twitter, when it silences people when it censors people when it blocks political speech, that has no impact on elections?”
“People have a choice of other communication channels,” Dorsey claimed.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, ripped into Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey during a hearing with tech titans on Wednesday, accusing him and his social media platform of improperly censoring reporting that reflected poorly on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, asking at the point, "Who the hell elected you?"

The exchange comes as Republicans over the last several weeks have decried Twitter's actions to lock the New York Post's Twitter account, and censor links to the outlet's stories, on Biden's son, Hunter, and his overseas business dealings.
Dorsey said this was due to a policy regarding hacked materials because the stories were based on emails from Hunter Biden's purported laptop. Cruz noted that a New York Times article about President Trump's tax returns did not face the same treatment, even though the materials appeared to be leaked illegally.
What @jack told the Senate, under oath, is false. I just tried to tweet the @nypost story alleging Biden’s CCP corruption.

Still blocked.
18 USC 1621 makes it a felony to lie under oath to the Senate. https://t.co/BDHRB8CEzy
How The Coronavirus Is Being Used As A Trojan Horse
Human Rights Watchdog Says Governments Using Pandemic To Crack Down On Online Dissent
The Covid-19 pandemic is being used as a Trojan horse to take away our rights and be used to push increased digital surveillance via our smartphones' big tech and Governments. But that’s not all, it also serves a means for other facial recognition technology to be more frequently used. Top10VPN continues to monitor the increase of the police state and decrease our digital and physical rights noting the following figures.
- 120 contact tracing apps are available in 71 countries
- 45 apps now use Google and Apple’s API
- The U.S. has 23 apps, more than any other country in the world
- 19 apps, with 4 million downloads combined, have no privacy policy
Digital Tracking Measures:
- 60 digital tracking measures have been introduced in 38 countries
- Telecom providers have shared user data in 20 countries
- 43 physical surveillance measures have been adopted in 27 countries
- Drones have been used 22 countries to help enforce lockdowns
- Europe introduced more surveillance measures than any other region
Washington-based Freedom House said dozens of countries have cited CV as a means “to justify expanded surveillance powers and the deployment of new technologies that were once seen as too intrusive.” They added that it marks the 10th consecutive annual decline in internet freedom, Barron’s reported.
China was singled out in the report noting, Chinese authorities “combined low- and high-tech tools not only to manage the outbreak of the coronavirus but also to deter internet users from sharing information from independent sources and challenging the official narrative.”
China, which arrested 8 people who were charged with spreading rumors about a virus before the coronavirus was publicly known. Beyond that, China recently highlighted what can be done with such a law by censoring a media outlet Caijing, which is one of the most reputable outlets in the country. In that article, the authors claimed that China significantly underreported both cases and deaths, especially among the elderly. (archive) (translation)
Free Speech Rights Are Being Tested
Free speech advocates are furious that YouTube removed a viral video of two California doctors questioning the threat level of the coronavirus.
The doctors, Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi, have made the argument that the mortality rate of the coronavirus is similar to the flu and, therefore, shelter-in-place orders are overblown. The doctors also called for businesses to reopen but were hit with criticism and attempts to debunk their claims.
Many people including myself have experienced censorship posting articles and in discussion within local Facebook groups. Radical liberals are often asking for opposing views and discussion to be removed. Their justification is you are killing people by posting misinformation. Misinformation is usually just an opposing view that is not popular.
The most chilling suggestion, however, comes from the politicians and academics who have called for the censorship of social media and the internet. The only thing spreading faster than the coronavirus has been censorship and the loud calls for more restrictions on free speech. The Atlantic recently published an article by Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith and University of Arizona law professor Andrew Keane Woods calling for Chinese style censorship of the internet.
The justification for that is the danger of “fake news” about coronavirus risks and cures. Yet this is only the latest rationalization for rolling back free speech rights. For years, Democratic leaders in Congress called for censorship of “fake news” on social media sites. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have all engaged in increasing levels of censorship and have a well known reputation for targeting conservative speech.
Hillary Clinton has demanded that political speech be regulated to avoid the “manipulation of information” and stated that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg “should pay a price for what he is doing to our democracy” by refusing to remove any opposition postings. In Europe, free speech rights are in a free fall, and countries such as France and Germany are imposing legal penalties designed to censor speech across the world.
Many of us in the free speech community have warned about the growing insatiable appetite for censorship in the West. Yet we have been losing the fight, and free speech opponents are now capitalizing on the opportunity presented by the pandemic. Representative Adam Schiff sent a message to the executives of Google, Twitter, and YouTube demanding censorship of anything deemed “misinformation” and “false information.”
Yet YouTube did exactly that a few days earlier by removing two videos of California doctors who called for the easing of state lockdown orders. The doctors argued that the coronavirus is not as dangerous as suggested and that some deaths associated with the pandemic are not accurate. There is ample reason to contest their views but, instead, YouTube banned the two videos to keep others from reaching their own conclusions.
Facebook will not only remove posts it considers misinformation about the coronavirus but will issue warnings to those who “like” such postings. Facebook said that it wants to protect people from dangerous remedies and false data. Ironically, the World Health Organization praised Sweden for its rejection of the very restrictions criticized by the two doctors. The group declared that Sweden is a “model” country despite its rejection of lockdown measures being protested in the United States.
China has been particularly eager not to “waste” the opportunity of this crisis. Chinese professor Xu Zhangrun is one of many citizens arrested after publishing criticism of Xi Jinping on his handling of the crisis. The government deemed such criticism to be fake news causing panic. It has censored accounts of its concealing the source of the original outbreak, including censorship on popular Chinese apps such as WeChat.
