Justice for Gertrude, Part 4

Forty-one years after Tulsa’s Gertrude Marshall Blakey was beaten to death in her midtown doorway, summons are going out to a multitude of attorneys and organizations as filing is imminent in Federal Court on civil claims including a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case, Breach of Fiduciary Duty on behalf of the Trustees and Minority Shareholder Oppression claims specific to the TH Rogers Lumber Company, Blakey’s family business.

Jami K. Elison, Esquire, said “I’m engaged by the Mabel R. Marshall Trust and Marshall Johnson as trustee and as an individual to investigate and pursue claims and remedies related to the murder, ensuing cover-up and acts taken to exploit or gain advantages from the murder including — trust invasions, minority shareholder oppression, misappropriations, and other related wrongful acts.”

Elison is a former federal court of appeals clerk and litigator with over 20 years of civil trial experience in multiple federal and state courts. Filings in this matter will be made in Federal District Court in Washington State. Trustee Johnson has been living in the State of Washington since 2019.

In an exclusive interview with this writer, Elison said, “The Tulsa Police Department (TPD) has not responded to Open Records Act requests from 2021 and 2022 pertaining to the Blakey matter except for a single communication in June of 2021 that included mention of a nondescript ransomware hack that allegedly occurred May 8, 2021.

“Based on current information from TPD publications no charges were ever filed and the matter has long been designated a cold case.

“Claims arise about interested parties parties invading the crime scene immediately after the coroner’s finding that the death was a homicide and court documents raise a question of a fraud perpetrated on the probate court. The house that was the crime scene was sold when the matter was presumably under investigation,” Elison said.

The current owners of the house, Tulsa Attorney Sam Daniel and Judge Millie Otey purchased it on June 7, 1982 after Gertrude’s death October 21, 1981 (Executor’s Deed #88127, Book 462, Page 377). Johnson, in his private investigation, contacted Daniel by telephone last in 2021 and, in response, Daniel and Otey filed a stalking complaint with TPD and requested a Protective Order (PO) to prevent further contact. That request was not granted.

This writer interviewed Daniel and published the first story on this case in August 2022, in which Daniel said, “I just want this guy to leave us alone. But if he is calling you to continue this harassment then I am going to do something about it. I don’t know what, but I take this very seriously. I have put up with this for a long time as well as have several other very prominent attorneys and government officials in this town. I don’t want to tell you how to do your business, but I would definitely ask you not to publish anything about this. This is a very problematic situation.

“We have a right to ask for a PO and if the court decides to grant it, that is the court’s decision. Like I said, we feel very much harassed and stalked by this guy. There is a lot more to this that I don’t have the time or desire to go into… It is a slander, and it is harassment. I am very, very, very serious about it. I appreciate you calling, because if you have knowledge of this, then you and I are going to be talking again about it,” Daniel added.

This writer has not heard from Daniel since that interview, but the description of issues Elison details may be the issues Daniel refers to as “a very problematic situation.” To read the first story on Justice for Gertrude, click here.

Another related party, Beth Kennedy Dunkin, told this reporter “I have been told not to talk with you. I’m 80 years old, and I do not care to talk to you if you’d like to look further you may call Mr. Daniel or an attorney.”

The Tulsa Attorney who served some 25 years as the Trustee of the Mabel Marshall Trust, Allen Smallwood was also interviewed by this writer. Smallwood said, “I represented [Ann Elder] in some criminal accusations, yes. I was the Trustee of the [Mabel Marshall] Trust and that was the first time I met Ann, in 1981, and she had some criminal issues after that in which I represented her.”

Ann Elder was Gertrude’s daughter, an enterprising criminal and lifestyle druggie with a trust fund. For more about the family read Justice for Gertrude, Part 2, click here for that story.

Smallwood said, “I foolishly agreed to take over as Trustee and did that until 2008 – 2009. For the grand sum of $2,500 a year, I put up with a lot – hundreds of phone calls from Ann Elder. She was just bad, and why I stayed in the thing, I don’t know, but I did.”

Johnson has had many conversations with Smallwood over the years on trust issues and as Johnson worked to discover facts on the unsolved homicide of his grandmother, he sought answers from anyone that could possibly know anything. Johnson admits he lost patience when people were not forthcoming with the facts or disingenuous in their answers. Smallwood does have a court issued permanent protective order against Johnson.

“The major problem that Marshall [Johnson] and I had,” Smallwood said, “He considered himself to be a beneficiary and that he and his siblings had a right to a portion of anywhere between $45,000 and $100,000 a year in proceeds, which were distributed semi-annually. We had two judges construe that Trust agreement. I see Ann Elder as the only direct beneficiary during her lifetime and her children as contingent beneficiaries. Correct me if I am wrong. Both Judges Edward Hicks and David Winslow said [Ann] is the only beneficiary during her lifetime.

“Marshall would never accept that and he said he was going to sic all kinds of lawyers and accountants on me, and I said bring them on, but bring a checkbook because you are going to end up paying attorney’s fees if you do this. He even went to the U.S. Attorney’s office as late as a year ago – nine months or so trying to get them to indict me for something… Those findings are in the Trust file if you want to go find that thing. I assume that is still available. I think Marshall ended up being the Trustee after everybody died,” Smallwood said.

Taking seriously Attorney Smallwood’s advice, this writer checked the Mabel Marshall Trust which states in Article IV (c) “From and after the death of Mabel R. Marshall and my daughter, Gertrude M. Blakey, the Trustee shall, preferably monthly, pay or credit such portion of the income of this Trust to and among my said granddaughter, Ann Lee Blakey and her then living issue so long as my said granddaughter shall live, as in the exclusive discretion of the Trustee is necessary or proper for the care, comfort, support, medical attention, maintenance and education of said beneficiary or beneficiaries; provided, however, if Ann shall have additional issue all such issue shall become a beneficiary hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the other issue of Ann.”

As this writer wrote in mid-October, apparently Smallwood, as Trustee, missed that section and stands corrected on the public record now soon to face court questioning. For more of that interview and a tape recording of Ann Elder and her daughter Carrie talking about Gertrude’s murder, read “Killer Recording and Corrected Trustee, Justice for Gertrude, Part 3” by clicking here.

Elison said, “Documents show patterns of invasions into the Mabel R. Marshall Trust by a series of trustees, interim and appointed. Court documents also raise a question of a fraud perpetrated on the probate court.

“Claims exist for heirs to Gertrude Blakey involving trust invasions and minority shareholder oppression as pertaining to trust positions in the TH Rogers Lumber Company,” Elison added.

T.H. Rogers, with his wife, Nevada Wolfe Rogers, began a lumber business in Missouri in 1896 and then moved to Oklahoma City. He incorporated in 1901. Oklahoma became a state in 1907.

T.H. Rogers had three daughters one of which had no children. Those having heirs are Ada Justine Rogers Kennedy and Mabel Wolfe Rogers Marshall. Ada’s husband, William Bernard Kennedy worked for his father-in-law in management of the lumber company. Mabel Marshall lived in Oklahoma City and her daughter, Gertrude Caroline Marshall, moved to Tulsa after graduation from college. Gertrude married Carl Walter Blakey and in 1944 they adopted Ann Lee Blaket as an infant.

Ann told her son, Marshall Johnson, she was raped by a Kennedy when she was twelve and that was the reason Mabel set up the Mabel Marshall Trust to formalize her permanent position as a part of the family. Ann died September 10, 2012.

“Claims exist for wrongful acts pertaining to concealment, cover-up, and other misdeeds related to both the murder investigation and minority shareholder oppressions. Positions in TH Rogers Lumber Company once held in trust for the benefit of identified heirs and beneficiaries have been extinguished in the years following the murder of Gertrude Blakey,” Elison said.

“Investigations have reached a point that cases are being prepared for filing. All claims arise or are related to the unsolved homicide,” Elison added.

After filing, this story will be updated online with a PDF of court documents.

After his landslide re-election victory, Governor Ron DeSantis declared that “Florida is where ‘woke’ goes to die!” Sure enough, the Chief Financial Officer of Florida, Jimmy Patronis, recently announced the withdrawal of $2 billion of the state’s treasury funds from Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager.

Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, has led the way towards environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for a new approach to investment management. In fact, in his 2020 annual letter, Fink emphasized “making sustainability integral…launching new investment products that screen fossil fuels.” An energy-rich state like Oklahoma does not need to enrich this kind of thinking with taxpayer dollars.

In a 2021 letter to fellow CEOs, Fink takes on the mantle of “stakeholder capitalism” to ask all his fellow CEOs to “fully reflect on long-term plans to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Social engineering does not belong in the world of managing assets and investments that belong to Oklahoma taxpayers who are counting on top-tier results.

In my world of managing investments, fiduciary responsibility necessitates the priority of protecting and growing client assets. The nebulous goals of climate change and ESG, which are often different depending on who you talk to, represent another assault by the liberal elite from the high rises of New York City. We shouldn’t stand for it in Oklahoma, and I ask the Treasurer of Oklahoma and the Trustees of our pension plans to terminate any or all relationships with Blackrock.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Gross Receipts to the Treasury for the past year set a new record high for the sixth consecutive month, but falling energy prices raise concerns about future collections, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced in a release today.

Twelve-month gross receipts through November are $17.36 billion, up by $2.44 billion, or 16.3 percent, from the prior 12 months. However, the monthly tax collections on oil and gas production fell below $160 million for the first time since April.

“The overall results continue to be strong,” said Treasurer McDaniel.

“While lower fuel prices at the pump are providing needed relief for consumers, the slowdown in demand and drop in commodity prices will impact collections in the future,” McDaniel added.

Compared to last November, the economic results for the month are positive. November collections of $1.31 billion are up by $120.9 million, or 10.1 percent, from November 2021. All major revenue streams reflect growth. Sales and use tax collections continue to exceed the rate of inflation, growing 10.5 percent compared to the same month of last year.

The monthly Oklahoma Business Conditions Index fell significantly in November. This index, produced by Creighton University, decreased from 51.3 in October to 39.8. It has not been below 50 since November 2020, indicating a forecast for economic contraction during the next three to six months.

Other indicators

As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports the annual inflation rate at 7.7 percent in October. The energy component of the index is up 17.6 percent over the year. The food index rose by 10.9 percent.

The Oklahoma unemployment rate in October was reported as 3.4 percent by the BLS. That is up from 3.2 percent in September. The U.S. jobless rate was listed as 3.7 percent in October, up by two-tenths of a percentage point from September.

About Gross Receipts to the Treasury 

The monthly Gross Receipts to the Treasury report, developed by the State Treasurer’s Office, provides a timely and broad view of the state’s economy.

It is released in conjunction with the General Revenue Fund report from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which provides information to state agencies for budgetary planning purposes. 

The General Revenue Fund, the state’s main operating account, receives less than half of the state’s gross receipts with the remainder apportioned to other state funds, remitted to cities and counties, and paid in rebates and refunds.

Redistricting questions currently before the Tulsa School Board conflict with potential board candidate considerations. This is a monumental disaster, and the clock is ticking.

The election primary for Tulsa School Board District 1 is February 14^th and candidates must file by Wednesday, December 7 currently without knowing the boundaries that determine eligibility for the position.

A case needs to be filed before the State District Court to resolve this issue.  Tulsa Today is aware that there is strong community interest in filing such a suit, but no one has come forward who is a parent with children in District 1 (see map below) or even in the entire Tulsa School District who is willing to be a plaintiff in this case at this time and time is running out. Legal counsel will be provided at no cost.

Tulsa Today is looking for anyone who would be willing to consider being a plaintiff in this lawsuit. But it would require that the person’s name be made public. Many of the people that have been approached are reluctant to come forward to be a plaintiff for fear of retaliation by the Tulsa School System.

This case involves a conflict in the implementation of four statutory provisions:

• Statutory Provision 1: Candidates for nomination to school board seats must live in the district for which they seek election. 26 OK Stat § 26-13A-106 (2021)
• Statutory Provision 2: School boards must draw the boundaries for districts within one year after the national census. Because the national census was delayed due to COVID, the Tulsa School District has until December 31st determine the boundaries of districts for the Tulsa School Board. The Tulsa School Board has not yet finalized the boundaries for District 1. 70 OK Stat §70-5-107A 
• Statutory Provision 3: District 1 is scheduled for election, the primary for which is required by statute to be held on the second Tuesday in February (February 14, 2023). 26 OK Stat §26-3-101 (2020)
• Statutory Provision 4:  Candidates shall file on the first Monday in December through the following Wednesday.  26 OK Stat §26-13A-105

The Tulsa School Board is scheduled to again consider the boundaries for District 1 at this Thursday’s special meeting. Unfortunately, the period for nominations will be over before that.

This seems patently unacceptable as a good governance situation.

Please contact Tulsa Today by phone 918.851.2429 or by email [email protected] if you would consider being a plaintiff in this lawsuit.

On October 26^th at 8:14 am police were called to Edmond Memorial High School after an incident in a girls’ bathroom that left a student with an, “injury to… eye, face and head with possible concussion” according to page 5 of the police report filed with the Edmond Police Department embedded on the ROPE site here.  [Ellipses ( ) indicate redacted information.]

In fact, the incident was so significant, the testimony of the school nurse as reported by the officer on scene states, “student’s left side of face is swollen, left eye lid swollen, complains of headache, dizziness, blurry vision, denies any nausea.  ( ) complains neck pain and ice pack applied and urge medical attention.”

The police report for this incident was obtained by ROPE from the Edmond Police Department.  Filed police reports are available to the public at large, however in this case, names and gender information have been redacted – most probably because the victim and assailant are under the age of 18 – consequently, we are able to report only on the unredacted text from the officer’s filed narrative. 

The October 26th incident report includes six written statements: three from student witnesses and one each from the school nurse, Julie Drumm, Assistant Principal, Maryjel Cochrane and Principal Brandi Wheeler.

Why would we believe this to be a case of a boy using the girl’s bathroom?  Two specific reasons.

1.  One witness statement says the following, “I was calming a friend down and I heard screaming so I stood up, went out of the stall so if I could jump in I could they were screaming, ( ) told ( ) to leave her alone and to stop looking at ( ) and then they started screaming at each other and then ( ) throug the first hit then basically jumped on ( ) started swinging to save ( ) live cuz ( ) is a man then I tried to jump in ( ) also hit ( ) from what I saw kicked ( ) in the head and the back 2 times and then we pulled ( ) up and ( ) collapsed and then the principal walked in.” (pg 4)
2. The officer of record writes the following: “Some of the students involved informed me that they speculated that ( ) was a ( ) but did not know for sure. ( ) is enrolled as a ( ). I asked the registrar secretary for the ( ) birth certificate, but the certificate of birth did not identify ( ) gender. Another document in the file (Paternity Affidavit) had a section where ( ) was marked as being ( ). I informed the principal W-Brandi Wheeler about the discrepancy in A-( ) school record.  W-Brandi asked her to clarify.  P-( ) stated that ( ) was born ( ) but identifies as a ( ).  P-( ) stated that ( ) has suffered a lot of emotional and mental abuse in the past and they moved here to start anew.” 

Again, with pertinent information redacted, it is impossible to be sure of anything regarding the incident except that there was a fight in a bathroom that caused one person to sustain severe injury.  We can assume it’s a girls’ bathroom, however, simply because most boys do not go into a bathroom in a group, or escape there to ‘calm down a friend’.  Additionally, we can assume there is an issue with gender aspect to the incident as one witness does appear to identify the assailant as a man and the officer narrative includes a statement from the Principal that the assailant was born one sex BUT identifies as another.

The Edmond Memorial parents who spoke to us about this say they were not made aware of this severe assault – an important incident which should have been disclosed to parents no matter who was involved.  Moreover, if this was a boy in the girls’ bathroom – an issue that ROPE does not support in any way – PARENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.

Though there are poor souls who don’t wish to understand the concept of nature and biological fact – most men are much stronger than women (women boxers box each other, not other men, for example) – and that includes young men.

Girls/women deserve to be safe in their persons from rape or assault and to their personal PRIVACY while using bathrooms for girls/women – particularly at public schools and universities.  The example described by this police report could illustrate that fact perfectly.  Is this why this incident has not been publicly reported?  No matter the circumstances, schools should be absolutely transparent with parents about student safety. 

Apparently, Edmond Memorial, isn’t.

Attorney General John O’Connor filed Embezzlement charges in McIntosh County against an Oklahoma husband and wife duo accused of defrauding Oklahomans of thousands of dollars for construction projects they never completed.

Victor and Julie Dowling are each charged with 14 counts of Embezzlement and one count of Pattern of Criminal Offenses. If convicted, they each face up to 72 years in prison and over $100,000 in restitution. Additional victims should contact the AG Office immediately.

According to investigators in a press release today, the Dowlings, who owned V&J Steel Buildings LLC, took a combined $116,922.75 from 14 victims for construction projects they either never started or began but did not complete.

The investigation, conducted by the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit, uncovered alleged fraud dating back to November 2020.

Attorney General O’Connor suspects that, because of the Dowlings’ long-term pattern of alleged fraudulent behavior, there are additional victims.

“If you have done business with V&J Steel Buildings LLC or are trying to get in touch with the Dowlings regarding work they have not finished, please contact our office,” said General O’Connor. “Through these constant prosecutions, we want to make Oklahoma an unattractive marketplace for con men and women. My office will continue to hold those accountable who try to take advantage of Oklahomans.”

Consumers who believe they have been a victim of V&J Steel Buildings or the Dowlings should file a complaint by calling the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit at 1-833-681-1895.

Every child has the right to live free from exploitation and abuse

Cultures and societies progress, generally in a more civil, moral, ethical direction. Look at our evolution from practices in ancient Greece. Several hundred years ago B.C., Greek elites openly participated in pederasty, meaning “boy love.” This was a relationship between an older male and an adolescent youth done under the guise of the older man educating and mentoring the chosen boy. In return, the man felt young and beautiful.

Indeed, homosexual love between adult men was ridiculed. Man-boy love was celebrated. Greek soldiers were accompanied into battle by young boys who served as their sexual partners and sleeping companions. They rewarded the boys by teaching them martial arts. But did this practice survive? No. Our military has both hetero- and homosexual members but they are adult equals, not a mentor-mentee relationship.

Arguably, morality is in the eye of the beholder. However, some truths are universal. One such truth is that children are fragile and need protection. This is why Unicef, Save the Children, Child Fund, and Gays Against Groomers champion the principle that every child has the right to live free from exploitation and abuse.

Since when did drag queens become the model for a new society? There was a time when drag queens and burlesque shows were housed in the tawdry parts of town—the red light districts, “the Block” and the like. Now public libraries have become venues for sexualizing children. This is done under the pretext of teaching love and acceptance. According to the Drag Queen Story Hour website “DSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where everyone can be their authentic selves!”

Children have plenty of innate imagination. They don’t need perverted prodding. The story hours and other inappropriate displays at “family-friendly” venues are exposing children to pornographic material. People face up to 20 years in federal prison and registration as a sex offender for participating in child pornography. Granted, here children are watching people pretending to have sex but are not being photographed pretending to have sex themselves. Otherwise, their parents would be in jail. In my view, this is porn: to quote the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously wrote about obscenity, “I know it when I see it.”  

In what world would parents knowingly expose their children to overt sexual X-rated performances? These parents have been emotionally manipulated to believe they are bigoted bad people if they object to having young children witness men acting out hypersexualized clownish stereotypes of women.

This flows into the bizarre push to turn boys into girls. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one million people (out of 330 million) in the U.S. identify as transgender. According to a recent University of California, Los Angeles survey, there are 1.4 million transgender adults and the great majority—1.2 million—are transgender women. Get with the program: biological men are bad. The Urban Dictionary defines a cisgendered male (biological, assigned male at birth) as “useless”. Heterosexual cisgender Caucasian males are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic scum. The Urban dictionary is small potatoes. One of the goals of a medical student group called White Coats for Black Lives is to “dismantle dominant, exploitative systems in the United States, which are largely reliant on anti-Black racism, colonialism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism.”

This misguided “transitioning” in minors is being mainstreamed in major medical centers despite studies that show that anywhere from 60–90 percent of trans children no longer want to be trans by adulthood. California passed a “gender-affirming healthcare” law (SB 107) that defies the United States Constitution’s mandate to give full faith and credit to judicial proceedings from other states. California is giving itself jurisdiction over would-be transgender children by declaring them victims of abuse at the hands of the parent who is resisting mutilating their child’s body.

We are witnessing the devolution of our society. It starts behind closed doors. Then goes out in the open via euphemistic words (sex-change became “gender affirming” just like how abortion became reproductive health). If you have doubts about this freefall, who would have thought that the brilliant minds running our nation’s capital city would make public urination legally and socially acceptable?

Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland has filed legislation to prohibit health care professionals from providing gender transition services to people under the age of 21 in Oklahoma.

House Bill 1011 prohibits health care professionals from providing, attempting to provide or providing a referral for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgeries for healthy people under the age of 21.

“It’s irresponsible for anybody in health care to provide or recommend life-altering surgeries that may later be regretted,” Olsen said. “We know there are some people who undergo the gender transition process and later identify as their biological sex. Performing irreversible procedures on young people can do irreparable harm to them mentally and physically later in life.”

Health care professionals found in violation of the law would face a felony charge with a fine of up to $100,000, a 10-year sentence, or both, as well as license revocation by the appropriate licensing board. Additionally, the bill provides grounds for potential civil action brought by any person. The bill states that civil liability and criminal charges may be initiated until the victim turns 45.

HB1011 also prohibits public funds from going toward any organization providing gender transition procedures to someone under 21. The bill includes exceptions to address medically diagnosed genetic anomalies, mutations or sexual development disorders.

On April 6, 2021, Arkansas enacted a state bill over the governor’s veto, banning the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgeries for the purpose of gender transition on individuals under 18.

Missouri’s House Bill No. 2649, introduced by Rep. Suzie Pollock of the state’s 123^rd district, largely mirrors Arkansas’ legislation. “It makes it illegal to practice giving children cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, or any kind of surgery” that would alter their young bodies for life, Pollock said on the Family Research Council’s (FRC) “Washington Watch” broadcast. “I really want to get that in law and protect children because who knows where things can progress to and what they’ll be trying next?”

Like Arkansas’ legislation, Missouri’s bill bans the use of public funds or insurance coverage mandates for any gender-transitioning procedures after January 1, 2023, except for treatment of minors diagnosed with physiological intersex disorder. The proposed bill also provides legal recourse for minors who have been permanently disfigured or sterilized by such medical or surgical procedures.

The Oklahoma Legislative session begins Feb. 6, 2023.

The intervention will allow them — and the public at large — to gain access to specific discovery and depositions — including that of Dr. Anthony Fauci from Nov. 23 — for use in pending litigation against social media platforms.

The intervenors are among the 12 specifically disfavored speakers the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has labeled the “Disinformation Dozen” due to content shared on social media and websites regarding vaccines. In actuality, they are prominent publishers of factual, alternative online news and criticism  — including Big Pharma, all aspects of COVID-19 and the government’s response.

A press release on the action explains that these free speech advocates and their organizations have been censored and de-platformed by major social media platforms that are working with — and taking orders from — the federal government. The intervenors seek open public access to critical sworn depositions and documents already produced by the federal defendants. These materials are expected to capture top-level communications between the federal branch and social media tech executives to censor and suppress a wide swath of online COVID-19 news, criticism of the government’s vaccine mandates and lockdowns, and discussion of the lab-leak theory of COVID-19’s origin.

“If the Biden Administration has instructed Big Tech to censor Bobby Kennedy, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), Mercola and the Bollingers, we need to see what they’ve said, and it must stop,” said CHD president and general counsel Mary Holland. “The First Amendment prohibits the government from censoring its critics — full stop. This is what our democracy requires as the bedrock of all other freedoms.”

Missouri and Louisiana filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration in Louisiana Federal Court in May 2022. District Judge Terry Doughty has fast-tracked the case toward a hearing to stop in its tracks and enjoin the government-directed social media giants’ version of a “Ministry of Truth.”

“We were censored, shadowbanned, deplatformed for sharing stats, facts and scientific data taken from the government’s own websites about COVID-19 — the same facts the current director of the CDC, Fauci, and others are now saying are true after two plus years of denying these facts. We were right all along,” said Founder & CEO of The Truth About Cancer & Vaccines Charlene Bollinger. “We should never have been censored. The world needs to hear our voices in order to make informed decisions about their health. What has happened to RFK Jr, Dr. Mercola, to us, and many others should never have happened. Our government has colluded to hide the truth about COVID, and we need the truth to ensure this never happens again. Lives are on the line. Informed consent and real science will save countless lives. It is our mission to reach everyone with the truth to support life.“

“It’s neither beneficial to democracy nor public health that the audio-visual recordings of key depositions describing the secret communications between key government actors and social media executives remain hidden from the American people. Social media platforms continue to muzzle dissenters for exercising their First Amendment rights to criticize government policies while the proof of this illegal collaboration with government officials remains sealed,” said CHD chairman and chief litigation counsel Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Judge Doughty has allowed the state’s attorneys general to take depositions of the critical federal censors, all of whom are well-known to the American public for their politically-motivated views about COVID-19: Dr. Anthony Fauci, ex-White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Director of White House Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly and FBI Agent Elvis Chan.

“Our federal government must be transparent to maintain trust, yet officials are violating our fundamental rights behind closed doors.  The biggest threat to the First Amendment comes from the government’s censorship enterprise in collusion with social media tech giants,” said Dr. Joseph Mercola.    

The Plaintiff States and the Federal Defendants’ Oppositions to the motion to intervene are due Dec. 1. The reply from Kennedy, Mercola and the Bollingers is due Dec. 8. Judge Doughty is expected to rule quickly thereafter. 

“Possibly the most important first amendment case of our lifetime, the outcome of which will determine whether we continue in the Orwellian/Huxley dystopian world that our federal and state bureaucracies have foisted upon us over the last decade and which has been exacerbated and accelerated over the COVID pandemic; or, whether we take back our God-given rights enshrined in our Constitution,” said G. Shelly Maturin, II, counsel for intervenors.
