Lawfare – – meaning?

Using the law as a weapon of war.   (short and simple – – I like that!)

I am seeing the word used more and more.

Take a look under “Numerous charges dropped during August” in this 2023 posting.  The war to take away Free Speech, Bodily Autonomy, etc. Charter Rights – –  the Government uses lawfare to coerce, intimidate, and force citizens who oppose into bankruptcy.  We resist.

2023-09-10 For your Selection, Updates on Covid Court Challenges. Numerous charges dropped during August. Big in US – an appeals Court finds that Biden Admin did censor free speech.

Every month, for almost a year, I report on more court cases;  charges being dropped,  And still they don’t stop.  They don’t learn.  They persist in using the Courts to thrash people.  Recent is the example of the Amish.

They don’t learn because their agenda is not Justice.  They are the Kings and Courtiers.  They want to control, to dictate.

War – a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.  The definition evolves along with technology and globalization.

WIKIPEDIA SAYS:

Lawfare is the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual’s usage of their legal rights. The term may refer to the use of legal systems and principles against an enemy, such as by damaging or delegitimizing them, wasting their time and money (e.g., strategic lawsuits against public participation), or winning a public relations victory. Alternatively, it may describe a tactic used by repressive regimes to label and discourage civil society or individuals from claiming their legal rights via national or international legal systems. This is especially common in situations when individuals and civil society use nonviolent methods to highlight or oppose discrimination, persecution, corruption, lack of democracy, limiting freedom of speech, violations of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law.

Definition

The term is a portmanteau of the words “law” and “warfare”.[citation needed] Perhaps the first use of the term[original research?] “lawfare” was in the 1975 manuscript Whither Goeth the Law, which argues that the Western legal system has become overly rational and treats persons like objects as compared to so-called “Community Law”, which is based more on humanity and intuition. As an example of the use of such an approach, the Confucian Code of Propriety (Li) is mentioned, which was used in China and Korea in the past.[1][2]

A more frequently cited use of the term is found in a 2001 essay authored by Charles J. Dunlap Jr., in which Dunlap defines lawfare as “the use of law as a weapon of war”; that is, “a method of warfare where law is used as a means of realizing a military objective”.[3][4] He later expanded on the definition, describing lawfare as “the exploitation of real, perceived, or even orchestrated incidents of law-of-war violations being employed as an unconventional means of confronting” a superior military power.[5] In this sense, lawfare may be a more humane substitute for military conflict, although Dunlap considers lawfare a “cynical manipulation of the rule of law and the humanitarian values it represents”.[4]

Benjamin Wittes, Robert Chesney, and Jack Goldsmith employ the word in the name of the Lawfare website, which focuses on national security law and has explored the debate over the definition of lawfare and whether it should be considered exclusively a pejorative.[6]

Adversarial uses of legal systems by non-state actors has also been identified under the similar classification of paper terrorism, based on an analogous comparison to conventional armed terrorism.[citation needed]

Universal jurisdiction

Lawfare may involve the law of a nation turned against its own officials, but more recently it has been associated with the spread of universal jurisdiction, that is, one nation or an international organization hosted by that nation reaching out to seize and prosecute officials of another.[7]

Examples

Hundred Years’ War

French officials deployed a form of lawfare in the lead-up to the Hundred Years’ War, according to historians Iskander Rehman and David Green.[8][9] Rehman states:[8]

In the fraught decades leading up the Hundred Years War, French officials deployed their expertise in the arcane intricacies of feudal law to continuously undermine Plantagenet (English) authority over their continental territories, ‘clogging up administrative processes’, ‘interfering with fiscal activities’ and burying English officials under a deluge of legal cases.

— Iskander Rehman, Planning for Protraction

Israeli–Palestinian conflict

Both pro-Israeli groups and pro-Palestinian groups have been accused of using lawfare against one another.

Christian Aid, a British charity that does humanitarian work for Palestinians, was taken to court in 2017 by a pro-Israeli organization called “Zionist Advocacy Center”.[10] While the case was ultimately dismissed in US courts, the organization had to spend £700,000 in defending itself, and said it was an act of “lawfare” against organizations that help Palestinians.[10]

A pro-Israeli group, Shurat HaDin, acting on information from the Israeli government, is believed to have used lawfare to prevent a Gaza-bound flotilla from leaving Greece.[11]: 311–328  Many cases have been brought forward against Israeli officials and those associated with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), accusing them of war crimes. These cases have been heard in both Israel[12] and in other countries.[13] Attempts to suppress the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement have also been called lawfare.[14] In Israel and many US states, supporting the BDS movement is criminalized.[14]

The NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence has cited the alleged use of human shields by groups like Hamas as an example of lawfare, hinging on exploiting Israeli claims that they minimize civilian casualties, as well as the sensitivity of Western public opinion. This tactic allows Hamas to either accuse Israel of war crimes if civilian casualties occur or to protect its assets and continue operations if the IDF limits its military response.[15][16] According to Canadian lawmaker and former minister Irwin Cotler, the use of law to delegitimize Israel is present in five areas: United Nations, international law, humanitarian law, the struggle against racism and the struggle against genocide.[17]

People’s Republic of China

Further information: Three warfares and Unrestricted Warfare

The government of the People’s Republic of China has explicitly recognized lawfare (“falu zhan” or “legal warfare”) as an essential component of its strategic doctrine.[11]: 161–164  Lawfare is one of three components of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)’s three warfares doctrine, which was approved by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the Central Military Commission in December 2003 to guide PLA political warfare and information influence operations.[18][19]

The activities of the People’s Republic of China in relation to the territorial disputes in the South China Sea is frequently cited example of lawfare by the Chinese government.[20][21][22] In particular, China has asserted sovereign control over several areas in the South China Sea, and has restricted access to areas within its alleged sovereign territory or exclusive economic zone.[11]: 165–168  In support of its claims, China has issued official state declarations (e.g., notes verbal) and enacted domestic laws that assert its sovereignty or effective control of portions of the sea.[20][23] China’s attempts at framing cross-strait relations with Taiwan as an internal dispute is also cited as an example of lawfare.[24] China’s 2013 creation of its Air Defense Identification Zone that cover the disputed Senkaku Islands has also been cited as lawfare.[25]

The government of China has also used lawsuits in foreign courts to repress Chinese dissidents abroad, which has also been labeled as lawfare by academic Diego A. Zambrano of Stanford Law School.[26][27][28]

Commentary

Harvard School of Law professor Jack Goldsmith, an opponent to the expansion of international human rights and universal jurisdiction, states in his book The Terror Presidency that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was concerned with the possibility of lawfare waged against Bush administration officials, and that Rumsfeld “could expect to be on top of the list”.[29][30] Rumsfeld addresses the effects of lawfare in his memoir Known and Unknown.[31]

Somehow, I missed this May announcement from JCCF (Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms).  Canadians need to tell each other about the Legislation in Nova Scotia.  You CAN forward the link or start a conversation, … or (your choice!).  The investment will pay off big time!

If you don’t believe the power of a small ACTION by you,  acquaint yourself with a bit of what’s going on, down in Lethbridge.  I’ve gone in person a few times because I was incredulous.  I had to hear and see with my own ears. You will understand the NEED to talk, tell others about the N.S. Legislation.

↧ ↧

It’s a VERY short distance between the Legislation in N.S. and the Court House in Coutts, AB.

3.   2024-07-23 Covid: “Coutts Three” sentencing – Marco VAN HUIGENBOS REFUSES INTERVIEW FROM PROBATION OFFICER. Next sentencing hearing is on August 26.  Includes Jaclyne Martin, wife of Jerry Morin.

Do not condemn Van Huigenbos unless you know how far he has gone to help make things right at Coutts.  He is a natural leader, a Town Councillor for Fort McLeod, AB.  My observation of his actions at Coutts:  every step of the way,  until now when he’s the one being processed, the welfare of the OTHER men and their families has come before his own.  He has been thoughtful, considerate, and well-spoken – – always. He is fearless;  he was invited to address the Inquiry into the Invocation of the Emergency Act.  He went to Ottawa to do that.  He’ll be on Monday’s Panel.  You can hear and see him.

Coutts  — the Lethbridge Court House – –  have little to do with Justice.  Near the conclusion of one of the earlier court proceedings my jaw dropped open at the words of the Judge (a different judge than the one who is conducting the most recent proceedings):

The Judge offered no pretensions:  they HAD TO set an example to deter other people from protesting Government actions.  They could not countenance protesters such as this.  (Guilt or innocence is simply not a factor.  My take:  the Judge actually BELIEVED what he said.)

Think about it:  you get charged with an offence.  You are not judged on whether or not you broke the law, not on whether you are guilty or innocent, but on whether you will be used to SEND A WARNING to others,  which is “BEWARE  because this is what will happen to you if you protest”.  Who ARE these ignorant people, and HOW did they get appointed to the Bench?    (Too many, but not ALL of the judges are of this ilk.)

INSERT, Sandra – –  I copied and pasted in the following from X, prior to the Panel Discussion:

This CBC article claims that Olienick said that he would slit officer’s throats. My understanding it was the undercover officer who claimed he said “they would slit their throats”. Did something come out during the trial about him saying that? Seems like an error from cbc.

Jason Lavigne    You are correct, it was allegations by the Undercover Operatives and never proven or admitted.

  Is it true? Are they free? Not Guilty?)

Not guilty of conspiracy to murder. Not free yet.

Is this going to be a Space on X?

Jason Lavigne   2h      It will be a Live on X.

1h      I’m curious that given NG (Not Guilty) in conspiracy to commit murder what evidence was presented to prove G (Guilty) on weapons for a dangerous purpose?

Robert Kraychik   @rkraychik

Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick are found not guilty of conspiracy to murder, guilty on the charge of unlawful possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose, guilty of mischief over $5,000. Olienick was also found guilty of unlawful possession of an explosive device.

17h    What compensation do they get for having 2.5 years of their lives that they can never get back stolen?

18h   Thank you for reporting on this and keeping Canadians informed. It is time to ensure this never happens again.

18h    I hope they appeal the 2 guilty verdicts

17h    The charge for Tony was related to his business and shouldn’t have happened.

Regardless, thank God that some justice prevailed.

18h   Replying to @GordMagill

Tony’s explosives charge was opportunistic on the part of the Crown; they were industrial explosives from a gravel quarry found 200km away. There was no intent in the charge, which is why they applied it – Crown knew they could get him on simple possession, and this was used as a

\18h   Thanks Robert. Was hopeful for less, but could be worse. Now how long do we wait for sentencing? Hopeful for time served.

18h   Fantastic news!

7h    Praying for a successful appeal.

18h   Trudeau holds 4 guys, 2 of them for 901 days and counting; for being a danger to society because of ‘conspiring to murder rcmp’; A charge that there are zero convictions of.

17h  What a travesty this whole thing has been. Two and a have years in remand while actual criminals are on the street the same day they are arrested. Can they bring a civil suit against RCMP?

18h  Damn! The EA (the Emergencies Act) fraud WILL BE EXPOSED. Great work boys.

18h  People deserve your immediate apology for leading and flaming lies that not only negatively impacted the Coutts men but Canadians across the country

18h   Are they released yet

18h    Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose carries with it a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.

18h    Does this mean that they will not be allowed into the US?

18h    Are they going home

18h    So thankful for those men to be going home.

13h  900 days, or about two and a half years, is right at the 30 month presumptive ceiling for reasonable time to trial established by the Supreme Court in the Jordan decision in 2016. The prosecution did this very deliberately and calculated the timeline well ahead of time.

Are they going to remand them until sentencing?

It’s two for one with time served.

Defend medical privacy in Nova Scotia and all of Canada
Dear friend of freedom,

Your medical privacy is about to become history if a new law is not challenged and defeated.

Nova Scotia’s House of Assembly recently passed Bill 419, giving the Nova Scotia government power to access patients’ individual medical records.

Among other things, Bill 419 empowers the Nova Scotia government to create and maintain an electronic database populated with the personal medical information of Nova Scotians. This is a dangerous law that we must vigorously challenge and defeat before it spreads to the rest of the country.

When politicians and bureaucrats gain access to private medical information, serious harms result. It sets government on the path to potentially totalitarian control over every dimension of citizens’ lives.

Access to peoples’ medical records could be used by governments to create different medical categories and use them to discriminate between citizens.

Apart from opening the door to restrictions on personal freedoms, there is a valid concern about privacy, simply for privacy’s sake.

It’s not anyone’s business – and certainly not the government’s – to know what medical problems or conditions you might have, or what treatments you have received in the past, or will receive in the future. The same holds true for politicians and government officials: they should not be permitted to access your personal medical information – even if they do not abuse or misuse that information.

That’s why the Justice Centre will be challenging this law in court.

 

Support our court action

Nova Scotia politicians claim they need to access individual patient records for “planning and management of the health system, resource allocation and creating or maintaining electronic health record programs and services.” This claim is dishonest. Governments can “plan and manage” healthcare systems without accessing individual patient medical records.

Bill 419, now passed into law, opens the door to severe restrictions on personal freedoms.

If a violation of medical privacy were combined with a requirement that citizens use a QR code or other government ID, the state could then exercise direct control over many aspects of our daily lives.

The violation of our medical privacy would result in the loss of our autonomy – the freedom to live our lives as we deem best. Personal autonomy matters. Our vision has always been “a free society where governments uphold human dignity by respecting fundamental rights and freedoms, and where Canadians can realize their potential and fulfil their aspirations”

Will you support our vision for a free Canada?

 

Support our vision for Canada

 

Under this new law, the Nova Scotia government could decide to issue citizens new health ID cards and require that every physician send in the patient health record of each citizen. These new health ID cards would contain the personal health information of each citizen.

With its new electronic database, the government could then (for the sake of “safety”) create new regulations to restrict freedom of movement and activity. For example, in order to keep everyone safe, citizens could be forced to swipe their cards to gain access to certain highways, certain cities, certain neighbourhoods, certain stores, etc.

Nova Scotia’s new law could open the door to barring pregnant women from entering a pub or a restaurant that serves alcohol. Special restrictions could be placed on people who drink alcohol, consume cannabis, eat too much junk food, or fail to get enough exercise. People who have not taken an annual flu shot could be banned from airports, train stations, or even public transit.

With health care costs straining the budgets of every Canadian province, the government could also conceivably use the private medical information of individual patients to proactively offer citizens assisted suicide (usually referred to as “Medical Assistance in Dying” or MAID).

Canadians have already seen and experienced firsthand the dangers of government using private individual medical information to control people.

During the pandemic, personal medical data was used to prevent some individuals from playing team sports, watching their own children play team sports, travelling by plane to visit a dying parent, working out at the gym, eating in restaurants, and watching a movie in a theatre.

One might hope that Nova Scotia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons would step up to the plate to defend medical privacy and the doctor-patient relationship. Sadly, no. After initially opposing Bill 419, the College took a 180-degree turn and actually supported this law.

It is, therefore, up to the Justice Centre to fight this fight.

We are a registered charity. We rely entirely on the generosity of freedom-loving Canadians to fund a team of lawyers across Canada who fight for your rights and freedoms every day.

We are not influenced by politicians. We do not ask for or accept any government funding.

If you want to live in a country that respects medical privacy, where Canadians can confide in their doctors and know that their personal medical information will not be disclosed to anyone, then please help us defend your rights and freedoms by donating to the Justice Centre.

Update, Hartman wrongful death charges against Pfizer and Health Canada. By Lee Harding. Western Standard

4 days after the covid shot, 17-year old Sean was rushed to Emergency

  • “(The doctor)  just sent him home with pain reliever for his shoulder,”  No blood tests.
  • 33 days after the shot Sean was dead.

A man who lost his teenage son after he took a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is suing the company for wrongful death.

Dan Hartman, of Beeton, Ontario, lost his 17-year-old son, Sean, a couple of years ago, 33 days after receiving his first COVID-19 shot.

In an interview with former Conservative MP Derek Sloan, Hartman claimed to have the first and only lawsuit in North America against Pfizer for wrongful death.

“He was my only son, he was such a good boy, such an angel, the purest soul you would ever meet. He was a beautiful child, all I can do now is keep fighting for him,” Hartman said.

Sean Hartman said hockey was his son’s “love and passion” and it was made necessary to take the shot as a condition of playing hockey. On August 25, 2021, he received a Pfizer vaccine.

“On August 29, he was rushed to emergency with brown circles around his eyes, and vomiting and a rash and a severely sore shoulder. The doctor there failed to do any bloodwork at all he didn’t do a D-dimer test. He didn’t do a troponin test. He just sent him home with pain reliever for his shoulder,” Hartman recalled.

“And 33 days after my son took his first Pfizer shot. He was found dead on the floor beside his bed on the morning of September 27.”

The death was clearly unusual to Dan Hartman, and an autopsy cleared up nothing.

“My son was perfectly healthy, had no underlying conditions. Didn’t didn’t drink a drop of alcohol in his life never had a cigarette. I waited three long months to get autopsy results. And they came back with cause of death ‘unascertained’.”

Hartman sent tissue samples from his son to American pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole.

“He found a large amount of spike protein in Sean’s adrenal glands. And his blood pressure likely crashed. Your adrenal glands control your blood pressure. And he died in trying to maybe stand up.”

Lawyer Umar Sheikh is representing Hartman in a lawsuit against Pfizer and a separate lawsuit against Health Canada.

“I’m trying to get justice for my son, so he can rest in peace, because he cannot rest in peace without justice. In my opinion, my son was murdered. There’s no doubt about it. And I’ve been doing this for more than two years, every single day,” Hartman said.

The lawsuit is expected to cost $500,000, of which Hartman has raised $135,000.

“I want all of Canada and everywhere in the world to get behind this if they can. Because if I beat them that’s going to open the doors for others to win. i We have such good evidence. We have Dr. Peter McCullough coming to Canada as my expert witness. And we also have two other expert witnesses,” he said.

“I just need to get to that courtroom to fight them. It’s the only thing that matters to me in my life now. Every day is just total pain from morning till night.”

Hartman’s court date is July 22, his birthday.

Sloan, who is a lawyer, believes Hartman has a good case.

“With such a tragic and immediate reaction, Dan has a chance to win this lawsuit,” Sloan said in an email to supporters.

2022-07-11 Paramedics speak out about empty hospitals, probable vax injuries during COVID. By Matthew Horwood, Western Standard.

 NOTE:  this is a 2022 summer report.
EXCLUSIVE: Paramedics speak out about empty hospitals, probable vax injuries during COVID
Paramedics say they transferred few COVID-19 patients during the early stages of the pandemic — despite media claims that hospitals were overwhelmed — but since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines they’ve seen a rise in heart attacks, strokes, and chronic infections.
“If I hadn’t heard about COVID all day, every day in the news, I don’t think I would have known that anything was any different,” said Greg McTague, a paramedic of 25 years from Penticton, B.C. “It seems clear to me at this point, the vaccines are causing a lot more harm than the actual virus.”
In response to an anonymous testimonial by an Atlanta, Georgia paramedic, who claimed to be seeing a huge increase in cardiac-related calls for vaccinated men aged 18-30, the Western Standard put out a call on Twitter to see if paramedics were experiencing something similar.
The Western Standard heard from more than a dozen healthcare workers, including six paramedics, three emergency dispatchers, two nurses, two firefighters, and an embalmer.
All said they’d begun seeing an increase in medical conditions, such as heart attacks, strokes, chronic infections, and women with menstrual issues, after the vaccines were rolled out. But they said a culture of silence in the healthcare industry, particularly among doctors, was preventing the issues from being openly discussed.
Many healthcare workers said they feared they would lose their jobs for speaking out. The Western Standard chose to showcase the stories of three paramedics, one of whom chose not to share her identity.

‘The vaccines are causing a lot more harm than the actual virus’

McTague said he wasn’t busy during the pandemic’s early stages. He claimed many people were so afraid of contracting COVID-19 they chose not to go the hospital, even if they were experiencing serious medical episodes.
“We weren’t being called for COVID-19. It was our usual medical calls and car accidents and stuff like that. But I don’t know anybody who actually had COVID that was serious enough to warrant a 911 call or a hospital visit.”
McTague also said every patient that was brought into the hospital was labeled as having COVID-19, no matter what their symptoms were.
“I think they might have even said explicitly ‘everybody’s COVID until proven otherwise,'” he said, adding that the media and politicians exaggerated the severity of COVID-19.
McTague said following the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, he began seeing “weird stuff that I had never seen before.” These included a woman in her 30s who suddenly went permanently blind, men under the age of 25 having heart attacks, and people having seizures for the first time later in life, which McTague said “usually happens when people are younger.”
“I saw a few people that went blind, but her in particular, she was pretty young and healthy. People don’t just suddenly go blind unless they get hit in the head or have a stroke. To just go blind, shortly after being vaccinated, I can’t imagine what else that would be,” McTague said.
Many of the people McTague saw with heart attacks and strokes, “didn’t have the textbook presentations or symptoms.”
“There was a guy in his 20s, who was a very fit, bodybuilder type. He woke up in the middle of the night screaming with chest pains. We couldn’t even assess him because he couldn’t talk to us. He was in so much pain and writhing around. I can’t prove to you what caused that, but he had been vaccinated,” McTague said.
McTague said because the majority of paramedics got vaccinated and “obviously felt an air of superiority,” they are more likely to “turn a blind eye” to injuries that could have been caused by vaccines.
“They just say, ‘it can’t be the vaccine, because that’s been proven safe and effective. So it’s got to be something else,'” McTague said.
“Then people like me, we see these calls differently. We look at a patient with those presentations, and we think, ‘we can’t prove it, but maybe it was the vaccine,’ and we are at least open-minded. Whereas the other people wouldn’t even consider it as a possibility. Because they also don’t want to admit they might have made a mistake.”
McTague ended up losing his job in October of 2021 for not getting vaccinated. He said besides wishing he had gotten a full pension, he doesn’t regret his decision. “I don’t miss that job at all. And the way things are now, I don’t think I could ever go back anyways,” he said.
McTague said he believes the COVID-19 vaccines have caused more damage than the virus itself. “I’m not saying that there is no COVID virus, I just don’t think it’s any more serious than the average seasonal flu. And what the politicians have done is beyond stupid.”
 
‘I’ve seen a lot of these cases in the last few weeks.’
Elliot Axelman, a paramedic of eight years from New Hampshire, and author of Corona-Fascism, also claimed to not have been busy during the initial months of the pandemic. He said it appeared many were too afraid of getting COVID-19 to come to hospitals.
Asked if he saw an increase in COVID-19 patients, Axelman said he “never noticed anything different among anyone, to be honest.”
“I remember this one guy, we were bringing him back to a nursing home, and he had beaten COVID. He was 85 years-old, with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, CHF, COPD, and other issues, and he’d had COVID and got over it. I thought, ‘he’s the ideal guy this disease is supposed to kill,'” Axelman said.
Axelman claimed hospitals in the U.S. over counting COVID-19 patients “by potentially tenfold.” He claimed the PCR tests were done at 45 cycles instead of the recommended 25, resulting in a higher number of false positives and they used an overly broad list of symptoms for COVID-19 that ended up including people with other illnesses.
Additionally, Axelman said for every COVID-19 positive patient a hospital admitted, they received around $13,000 from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS). When a hospital would put a patient on a ventilator, the hospital would also received approximately $39,000 from the CMS.
While the fact-checking site Snopes acknowledged that hospitals receive money for patients admitted for COVID-19 and placed on ventilators, they said “the $13,000 and $39,000 figures appear to be based on generic industry estimates for admitting and treating patients with similar conditions.”
Axelman said he’s heard of an increase in cardiac-related calls in young men since the COVID-19 vaccine was rolled out. One case that stuck out to Axelman was a 17-year-old boy that came with chest pain and dizziness two days after his second shot. Axelman said the boy had elevated Troponin levels, which is a protein released into the blood after a heart attack.
“I was talking to the attending doctor in the ER. And she was freaked out,” Axleman said. “She was like, ‘I’ve seen a lot of these cases in the last few weeks.’ And I asked, ‘so young males with myocarditis after the second shot?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah.'”
Axelman said while most cells in the human body can regenerate, brain and heart cells cannot. “When they die, they’re dead forever. And that’s the issue with heart failure. It’s always progressive. It never really gets better.”
Since the vaccine rollout, Axelman said he has also seen a huge increase in females with “weird” issues with their menstrual cycles. He’s heard of women experiencing heavy or irregular periods, and even cases where women who have already gone through menopause got their periods again.
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development noted COVID-19 vaccines were occasionally associated with a “small, temporary menstrual change in women.” But Axelman said even minor menstrual cycle changes can have far-reaching implications for women’s fertility.
“You don’t need to be a genius to know that the same system that affects the period, is the one that impacts fertility and pregnancy,” he said.
‘They’re all so, so sick. It’s just this general decline in the population’
A paramedic of 18 years from Southern Ontario, who refused to divulge her full name because of fears she could lose her job, said the call volume for paramedics was reduced during the first months of the pandemic. “Everybody was so scared, they were all staying home. But we were not seeing people sick with COVID-19,” she said.
The paramedic said they were busier during that winter, but the call volume was still lower than previous years. “The only thing that was different than a normal flu season was that patients’ oxygen saturation would be lower. But we never saw any young people. These were all 80 year-old, bedridden people [who] were dying,” she said.
The paramedic said during the third wave of COVID-19, they kept hearing on the news that “Toronto hospitals were overwhelmed and they were using ambulances to transport people to surrounding hospitals.” But after they signed up for a hospital transfer shift, they would “sit there for 12 hours.”
“I did one transfer out of a Brampton hospital, but that was it. They eventually cancelled the program because nobody needed to be transferred out of the hospital,” they said. “But then I would go home and hear on the news that hospitals were overwhelmed, and yet I had just been to the ICU that day, and seen that the place was half empty. And I thought ‘what is going on here? Where are all the COVID patients?'”
The paramedic also claimed that screening for COVID-19 was extremely broad, and any patient with “nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shivers, or shortness of breath” was labelled as COVID positive.
“And that’s considered to be everybody. So if you had a breathing problem because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you were considered COVID positive. I don’t know if that’s how it worked for the hospital numbers, but that’s how we would treat it when we were dispatched,” they said.
The paramedic said during the Omicron wave of last winter, when “everybody I knew got sick with COVID,” virtually nobody was sick enough to be transferred to hospitals.
“I would say I saw three people that maybe died in 2021, but they were all over 75 years-old and had all the comorbidities. Three people for a whole year. I work full-time in a busy service where I’m doing eight calls a shifts,” she said.
But the paramedic said since the vaccine was rolled out, they have seen a large increase in young people experiencing chest pain right after getting vaccinated. They have also seen an uptick in middle-aged people suffering from strokes, and an “enormous amount of people in their 50s and 60s with new-onset heart arrhythmias.”
“I have to do a very thorough history. They’ll tell me these problems started a month ago, and then a couple questions later they’ll say they got their fourth vaccine dose around that same time. I can’t tell you how many healthy, older people have gotten their third and four doses, and now they’ve got these new cardiac issues. It just seems really obvious to me. I don’t see unvaccinated people getting this sick.”
The paramedic also claimed to be seeing older people with chronic infections that “just keep getting worse and worse.”
“They tell me ‘I just keep getting worse. I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t get up anymore. I’m weak, I’m nauseated all the time, and I’ve got his chronic infection I can’t seem to recover from.'”
“I’ve been working for 18 years, and the majority of my patients now are in their last few weeks of life,” the paramedic said.
“They’re just dying. They’re all so, so sick. It’s just this general decline in the population.”

RECOMMEND:

Kraychik makes a valuable contribution to public knowledge of what happened at COUTTS.

Below, through the URL for the MARCO UPDATE   there are other reports from the current Court Proceedings at Lethbridge, by Robert.

I recommend Robert’s suite of videos.  I was very happy to see, for example, Jaclyne Martin, the wife of Jerry Morin on the screen. It’s at this URL:

https://www.rebelnews.com/carbert_testifies_coutts_trial_rejects_rcmp_firearms_allegations

Early on in the Coutts debacle, I listened to an interview I will not forget – – Jaclyne Martin.  I blogged it, but it went AWOL;  I was never able to find it again.  At the time, I wrote:

There WAS an inserted youtube interview of  Jaclyne Martin, the wife of Jerry Morin who is one of “The Coutts 4”.   The story is another of those shockers that should get out.   Jaclyne Martin, well-spoken.  I wish I had a copy of the interview to post.

(2024-07-31)  Jaclyne’s trial is coming up;  I don’t know when.  I hope it comes PRIOR TO the sentencing of Carbert and Olienick.  The youtube interview of her is powerful.  The above URL (“carbert testifies”) is the first I have seen of her in a long time.  Her testimony at her trial will be devastating.  The circumstances of the charges brought against her are outrageous.  I suspect that the RCMP’s reputation is going to take another hosing.  You’d think that the Prosecution would withdraw the charges.

(returned after a stop in Lethbridge for the Pawlowski sentencing – – which didn’t happen.)

A take away from Lethbridge experience:  Some people in the Justice System (Lethbridge, AB for example!) do not want to understand that trials are PUBLIC.  If they refuse to tell you the status of particular cases and refer you to “boards” where there is no record of the particular case,  the proceedings can’t be followed.   They are not accessible by the public, not even if you go in person!  It all seems so mis-guided, counter-productive and such stupid strategy on their part.  EXCEPT THAT what they do is DELIBERATE.  Unbelievable that this is Canada/

Thankfully “things are happening!”.   “The Coutts Four”  . . .  and the interview of the wife of one of them, Jaclyne Martin – – my God!   Bless her for refusing to settle and being able to maintain her courage and determination.

NOTE:   In November 2022 I went to Calgary, to a large gathering of concerned people, Rebel News was the organizer.  I went because I wanted to meet people in person, hear what they have to say.  So I can make my own evaluations.  Are they radical crazies?  . . .  uh unh.  No.  I met and talked with good people.  If Canada didn’t have these people, we’d really be up the creek, with not much hope of pulling back from the brink of tyrannical disaster.  I don’t endorse all that is said,  but I seldom do . . . no matter who’s doing the talking!

Listening to the Inquiry into Invocation of Emergencies Act helped solidify my long-held view that DE-centralization where possible & practical serves people better.

Centralization of the RCMP, to me, helped foster a police state.  ONE CENTRE;  ONE VIEW; AND little capability for ACCOUNTABILITY.    The powers-that-be slid incompetent people into top jobs.  The TOP ECHELONS were YES MEN & YES WOMEN . . . COURTIERS.  Common tactic of tyrants. . . .

Jaclyne Martin (she’s a skeet shooter) is being processed on Sept 19th  in Lethbridge, the last I heard (didn’t happen).  The “Coutts 4” have been held in jail for well over a year, denied bail.  I listened to an interview of Jaclyne Martin.   The abuse of the Justice system is God awful, IMHO.   Among worse things done,  Jaclyne has not been allowed to visit, she is not allowed to see her husband, for well over a year now.

This is all the doing of the RCMP and Prosecutors.  There’s no guarantee that local police would do better;  but they MIGHT understand the lay of the land better??!!

MARCO VAN HUIGENBOS  UPDATE.   Related Postings at bottom.

2024-07-23 Covid: Coutts Three sentencing – Marco Van Huigenbos refuses interview from probation officer.

https://www.rebelnews.com/coutts_three_van_huigenbos_refuses_interview_probation_officer

The first date of sentencing proceedings for the Coutts Three took place Monday at the Lethbridge courthouse.

Marco Van Huigenbos was found guilty in April by a jury, alongside Alex Van Herk and George Janzen, who make up the Coutts Three. They were involved in the controversial Coutts border blockade in February 2022.

Van Huigenbos is one of men convicted of mischief over $5,000 for his role in the Coutts border blockade. He did not have a pre-sentence report (PSR) prepared, given his refusal to be interviewed by a probation officer. The Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness of Canada describes PSRs as tools used by judges to determine sentencing for persons convicted of felonies.

 

 

Van Huigenbos told Rebel News he learned from Van Herk and George Janzen they were asked about their religious and political views by probation officers. He determined those questions violated his privacy rights.

Judges presiding over serious criminal cases, with a guilty verdict, often request a PSR. It assists the court in making a sentencing decision. What constitutes a PSR is defined in the Criminal Code of Canada. Application is left to the provinces and territories.

Preparing PSRs requires probation officers to interview offenders, family members, employers and other relevant persons. Officers also review police and correctional files to help the courts ascertain if the offender is willing to change. Thousands of PSRs are written each month; yet, little is known of their value and use by the courts.

 

 

Van Huigenbos told the publication he expects coercive pressure from the government to comply with the interview to create a PSR for Justice Keith Yamauchi’s consideration.

The three men are scheduled for their next sentencing hearing on August 26, with a final sentence expected to be issued in late September. The maximum sentence for mischief over $5,000 is ten year imprisonment.

I believe that a major problem for Trials by Jury in Canada is that large numbers of people still follow mainstream media.  They hear the Government narrative which is propaganda.  They do not have a knowledge base that equips them to understand what’s going on.  They are in a poor position to evaluate guilt.   AND,  we don’t TALK about the questions – – community dialogue is kind of dead.

Note – – related to fines levied in 2022.

Case 1:  Meththa Fernando, the nasal swab (a “PCR” test), guilty and fined $6,255.  Overturned on Appeal,  Yeeeay!

Nasal swab tests were an ‘unlawful requirement or demand,’ wrote Justice Paul Monahan in the ruling.

Freiheit’s view. “This case will be mostly relevant for anyone who pled guilty or paid a fine under Section 58 of the Quarantine Act, for refusing to submit to Trudeau’s hired PHAC officers when they demanded travellers force wires into their sinus cavities.”

Cases 2 and 3:   (scroll down to the video)   A couple, William O’Kane and Kim Greene, Canadians returning to Canada, entry at Pearson Airport,  4 fines levied against them, total amount, about $25,000.    Under appeal,  in process.

An Ontario court has ruled the Trudeau government’s requirement of COVID-19 nasal swab tests was unlawful. Justice Paul Monahan’s decision was shared online by lawyer Daniel Freiheit.

In the ruling, Justice Monahan found demanding polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests was a violation of the Quarantine Act.

 

 

The case involved Meththa Fernando, a traveller returning to her home in Mississauga. Fernando, who was apparently vaccinated, was charged after arriving at Pearson International Airport on April 9, 2022, and rejecting a COVID-19 test after following a random selection by screening officers.

She was originally convicted for failure to comply with Section 58 of the Quarantine Act, receiving a fine of $5,000 along with additional charges bringing the total to $6,255.

Justice Monahan overturned the decision on appeal, citing Section 14 of the act, noting “the screening test cannot involve the insertion into the traveller’s body of any instrument or foreign body.”

“The prosecution raised the point that perhaps the insertion into the nasal cavity did not involve the entry into the body,” Justice Monahan wrote in the decision. “I disagree. The insertion of a nasal swab into the nasal cavity is most definitely an insertion into the body.”

Some on social media expressed sentiments that the decision was too little, too late.

“Not necessarily,” was Freiheit’s view. “This case will be mostly relevant for anyone who pled guilty or paid a fine under Section 58 of the Quarantine Act, for refusing to submit to Trudeau’s hired PHAC officers when they demanded travellers force wires into their sinus cavities.”

It remains to be seen how this decision will affect other travellers charged under the act.

“I do decide that the nasal swab test, which the screening officer in this case required or demanded Ms. Fernando submit to, was an unlawful requirement
or demand,” wrote Justice Monahan.

“Ms. Fernando’s refusal to comply with the requirement or demand was lawful on her part. Because the requirement or demand made of her by the screening officer was not lawful, Ms. Fernando should not have been found guilty by the Justice of the Peace.”

2024-07-11 Will COVID-19 VACCINE INJURY SUPPORT continue for decades, like thalidomide compensation? By Tamara Ugolini, Rebel News

The Canadian government continues to compensate victims of the Thalidomide ‘safe and effective’ disaster, which leads some to wonder: will the COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) persist for decades to come?

Thalidomide was a drug introduced to the Canadian market as “safe and effective” on April 1, 1961. The drug was used in its market of origin, Germany, and more than 40 other countries since 1958, and was available for a little over two years, as safe for pregnant women and effective at curbing morning sickness in the first trimester of pregnancy.

The government of Canada is said to have authorized the marketing of the drug based on the same information that the Americans did not find sufficient to prove safety.

In fact, in 1962 FDA reviewer Frances Kelsey was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by President John F. Kennedy for her refusal to authorize thalidomide on the U.S. market. As a result of her unwavering commitment to safety, Thalidomide was never distributed for clinical use there.

By December 2, 1961, the drug had already been pulled from the German and British markets, after several doctors expressed concern that it was causing severe birth defects in babies born to mothers who had taken the anti-nausea sedative.

These are known as teratogenic effects that cause abnormal fetal development. In the case of thalidomide, it resulted in visible malformation of the limbs, missing arms and ears, deafness, defects in the face including deformities of the eyes and palate and malformations of the gastrointestinal system and heart.

Thalidomide also caused miscarriage, which means it’s unknown how many deaths it caused in totality, but it’s said that less than 40% of the babies affected by this disturbing tragedy survived into adulthood.

The government of Canada was well aware of these safety concerns about the possible teratogenic effects of thalidomide, but it wasn’t until March 2, 1962, that Canadian authorities decided to finally withdraw it from the market. Thalidomide was legally available in Canada for three full months after being withdrawn from Germany.

Canada’s health minister, J.W. Monteith, in 1963 acknowledged the duty of the government to support victims of thalidomide. While class actions and other litigation were pursued globally, here in Canada victims were forced to settle out of court with gag orders, resulting in vast differences in compensation amounts.

Since Canada brought thalidomide to market despite warnings, and then delayed its withdrawal, many argued the authorities had a moral duty to adequately compensate victims.

To do so, the government of Canada then introduced the Extraordinary Assistance Plan or EAP in 1991. It gave a one-time payment ranging between $56,000 and $83,000 to 109 thalidomide survivors who fulfilled the eligibility criteria.

Faced with debilitating disability and increased financial burden, the program pivoted after advocacy efforts by the group Right the Wrong, where the Thalidomide Survivors Contribution Program (TSCP) was developed in 2015, which further compensated survivors through annual pension and other settlement money.

Then, in 2019, the Canadian Thalidomide Survivors Support Program (CTSSP) was developed, which is ongoing automatic compensation for those left with the debilitating fallout of this once touted as a safe and effective drug. It provides annual payouts geared toward disability level of up to $100,000.

Sadly, it appears the government and Health Canada did not learn anything from this horrific tragedy or the fallout of it that continues to plague roughly 100 Canadians nearly 70 years later.

They shamelessly promoted — and continue to promote — novel, still in clinical trial modified RNA drugs referred to as vaccines as safe and effective, including for pregnant and breastfeeding women, based on misrepresented data and severely underrepresented clinical trials that were ongoing and then unblinded a mere two months into the experiment.

According to the last update by the government of Canada, COVID-19 vaccine “Adverse events have been reported by 58,712 people” up to and including January 5, 2024 — that’s the date when the agency stopped reporting. The government decided they “will no longer be updating this online report.”

How transparent.

Meanwhile, the pandemic-born Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) coincided with the rollout of these injections, which were authorized through an interim order that waived liability for the rushed-to-market products.

As of its last reporting date at the beginning of June, it has received 2,628 of those nearly 59, 000 adverse event claims, with only 183 of them approved by an elusive medical review board.

That’s if those suffering injuries can navigate the extensive paperwork, multi-level filtering and bloated bureaucracy to get their injury recognized and diagnosed.

This shows that there is the very real potential for vaccine injuries to mirror the thimerosal crisis. The last few years have shown that vaccine injuries are significantly underreported, misdiagnosed, or misattributed.

The quiet extension of the VISP program in Budget 2024, with $19 million allocated in 2024/25 and $17 million in 2025/26 (of which more than half of funds are funnelled to consultants) suggests it might become a permanent fixture in the federal budget as the fallout continues.
