At 2:00 pm Central Time on Tuesday, August 30th – details below), senior FAA official Bruce McGray will publicly present, for the first time, his sworn declaration and supporting exhibits (links at very bottom) against the agency for its involvement in the vaccine mandate and the resultant fallout. The presentation will be aired via Zoom and we need as many of our members as possible to join the call. The purpose is both to present the complaint and ensure that all members have the information necessary to rescue their lives and their careers. If you hold an FAA medical and fear its loss as a result of vaccine complications, solutions will be presented.
Mr. McGray is represented by Todd Callender of the Disabled Rights Advocates Law Firm (part of the legal coalition representing USFF as well, and whose letter & invitation is pasted below), and will be joined by a who’s-who of the fight we are engaged in. Many more agency whistleblowers who are coming forward will be on the call as well.
Realize that the call is not just for pilots! If you or someone you know is COVID vaccine injured, please join us.

Brett Sutton provides a good example of a really bad apology
This “apology” feels wrong. We sense the speaker is doing several things so badly he may be insincere. Sutton is the Chief Health Officer of Victoria, Australia. From a Buddhist point of view, which I think can stand for a universal ethical point of view, an apology should: 1) clearly recognize fault and state specifically what it was; 2) explain why the fault occurred without excusing it in any way; 3) apologize for the fault and accept full responsibility for your part; 4) make amends where possible or pay forward; 5) vow to never do it again.

“The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society”
Why the GOP would rather LOSE to Democrats than lose control of their base
~If we accept or acknowledge the RNC and DNC are private corporations, existing like all other corporations to the fulfilment of their for-profit charter, to make money; and
~If we accept or acknowledge their business model is structured around people and businesses giving them money; and
~If we accept or acknowledge that in the process of raising money their interests may or may not align with the goal of those contributing to the business; and
~If we accept the history that Mitch McConnell and the RNC worked purposefully to remove the influence of the Tea Party; then:
[…] “the GOP (club) would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the [club] to it’s base.” Electability boils down to the right kind of approved candidate.
That is an accurate context for this midterm election cycle. Factually, the income stream for the RNC improves if they have the ability to campaign against the opposition club. The larger the outrage, the more substantial the fundraising. The corporation makes more money in defeat, or in the minority, than it does when it wins or holds majorities.
As a result, there is a disconnect between the financial incentive of the corporation and the expressed intent of the corporation. When the RNC club wins, they have a more difficult time raising money, because people who previously contributed are now looking for results.

“Nobody really talks about the consequences of socially transitioning, especially in kids. I missed out on a lot of important female socialization. While I got to watch my peers enter relationships and grow as people, I was alone, telling myself and everyone else a lie”
Nobody really talks about the consequences of socially transitioning, especially in kids. I missed out on a lot of important female socialization. While I got to watch my peers enter relationships and grow as people, I was alone, telling myself and everyone else a lie.
I started binding after being groped at 13, and continued to do so until I went under the knife. Long after my breasts are gone, my ribs are still malformed, because binders work by pushing breasts into the ribcage. I was about a B cup and my binder fit perfectly.
It also caused my breasts to lose their shape and I hated the look of it, I thought that I would never recover. This was one of several factors that led to me getting a mastectomy.
Social transitioning is a gateway drug.

From a Buddhist point of view, “identities” (such that there even is such a thing) are to be understood and seen through as being evanescent, “empty,” not deeply real, fundamentally delusional. The Diamond Sutra says:
All conditioned things
are like dreams, like illusions,
like bubbles, like shadows,
like dew, like lightning
and all of them should be contemplated in this way.
For an adult to allow, let alone encourage, a child or adolescent to take “puberty suppressants” or undergo surgery based on an “identity” that is “like a dream” is extremely harmful to both the adult and the child. The “doctors” who provide these services are profoundly mistaken. They are playing with the beautiful minds of vulnerable young people whose brains are nowhere near fully developed. Interfering with the natural course of their development while encouraging the mental illness of their parents are deeply wrong actions based on pride and ignorance. I cannot see any way that a Buddhist can support any medical professional doing this. ABN
‘How to make patients stay long’: Chinese hospital’s marketing plan stirs outrage
This is indeed outrageous but it’s “just” happening at some small hospitals trying to keep operating in China. Compare to government mandated perverse incentives for American hospitals, which have been and still are being rewarded for misdiagnosing and maltreating covid patients to the point of killing hundreds of thousands of them. Also, one million American doctors with few exceptions (brilliant, wonderful exceptions) violated the most basic oath of medicine by refusing to treat covid at all. “Failure to treat” is the most basic form of malpractice there is.

Sundance is not only a great analyst, he is also a generous spirit
Several people, some very influential people, have written or made contact asking permission to extract the Four-Part series I wrote, updated and posted yesterday. A few want to put the articles into a published format of some sort. My response, go for it.
Everything I research, write and share is free for the taking.
Download it into a pdf form, modify the internal citations as footnotes, proofread, add, subtract, modify it, change the language, simplify it, do whatever you want to make it your own in whatever format suits your needs. No attribution or citation is needed.
This is a battle to save our nation from a corrupt enterprise. I put no parameters on any tool or intellectual weapon you may find of benefit. That just isn’t me. Those who have been around a while know where I stand…. which is right next to anyone who is in the fight. Getting the message out is the urgent and important part; how it arrives, is of no issue for me.

Critic of congressional probe into gain-of-function research helped fund Wuhan gain-of-function study
A prominent scientist who has denounced a congressional investigation into gain-of-function research helped fund Wuhan Institute of Virology gain-of-function work flagged by congressional investigators.
Peter Hotez, dean of the Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine, has been a fierce critic of potential hearings next year into a possible lab origin of COVID-19 and whether the National Institutes of Health prematurely discredited the hypothesis.
Hotez decried the hearings as nothing less than “a plan to undermine the fabric of science in America” in a viral tweet thread last week. Hotez also dismissed as an “outlandish conspiracy” the possibility that a lab accident sparked the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Hotez’s own 2012 to 2017 NIH grant for the development of a SARS vaccine had the stated aim of responding to any “accidental release from a laboratory,” in addition to a possible zoonotic spillover of the virus.

“I’m trying to make up for my mistakes which is honoring the medical ethics I subscribe to, which is helping the patients first” ~ Dr William Bay
The sooner the better, but it’s never too late to come clean, admit mistakes, apologize, and make amends for them. This is basic to Buddhist practice and all reasonable ethical systems. I applaud this doctor and hope to see many more like him. We can forgive you but the first step must be yours. ABN

Another GREAT VICTORY for RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Link to article: Attorney ‘Thrilled’ After Federal Judge Blocks COVID Vaccine Mandate for Air Force, Air National Guard
Never, never, never give up your right to religious freedom—the freedom to act in accord with your conscience. Spiritually, this is arguably our most fundamental right because it is only by nurturing and following our consciences that we grow in wisdom and goodness. ABN
BIG VICTORY for RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: Illinois health care workers win lawsuit against employer who unlawfully denied RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION from covid vaccine MANDATE
Today, Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit for health care workers over a COVID shot mandate, for more than $10.3 million. The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem is on behalf of more than 500 current and former health care workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate. The agreed upon settlement was filed today in the federal Northern District Court of Illinois.
As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate these health care employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.
This is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots.
…As part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful “no religious accommodations” policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities. No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.
In addition, employees who were terminated because of their religious refusal of the COVID shots will be eligible for rehire if they apply within 90 days of final settlement approval by the court, and they will retain their previous seniority level.

Ultimately, religious freedom means freedom to act on your own conscience. This is not just a freedom for established religions or for people who have a note from their priest. It is an unalienable right of all people and no one shall infringe it. All freedom-loving people should be delighted with this decision. I hope we see many more like it. ABN
