Does the Constitution provide parents the freedom to choose their children’s vaccination requirements? Can schools legally prohibit children from attending if their parents refuse vaccinations, including experimental ones? The U.S. Supreme Court must re-examine this case in New York as members of the Amish community plea with the state to permit religious exemptions.
Miller v. McDonald repealed the religious exemption from immunization requirements. The case traveled up to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and took into account a case in which Maryland parents demanded their elementary school children be exempt from LGBTQ+ curriculum. SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that public schools cannot force children to participate in blatant grooming exercises without parental consent.
The two components will be considered simultaneously. How much leverage do public schools have over American children? “A book is not going to affect your child’s health or another child’s health,” said state Assemblymember Jeffrey Dinowitz, the Bronx Democrat who sponsored the 2019 repeal (S2994A/A2371A). “But if children aren’t vaccinated, that could affect your child, and other children as well.”
The initial case was filed by Joseph Miller, Ezra Wengerd, and Jonas Smucker, along with three Amish schools, who sued education and health officials for forcing their children to take the COVID vaccine. In March 2025, the Second Circuit sided with the state and dismissed the claims, deciding that a blanket vaccine mandate did not violate the Constitution’s Free Exercise Clause. Yet, New York does permit medical exemptions on a religious basis and the parents did not believe the case was neutral.
“The Department anticipates that the federal courts will respect the Legislature’s determination that a religious exemption from school-age vaccinations is not available,” New York State Education Department said in a statement. “If the Second Circuit—or, more likely, a majority of the Supreme Court—creates a common law religious exemption, its contours would be defined by the decision.”
The Amish plaintiffs pointed to a 1972 SCOTUS ruling in Wisconsin v. Yoder that permitted Amish kids to leave school after eighth grade. The Second Circuit denied their claims and said that Yoder did not provide parents with the ability to forego COVID vaccination mandates.
Leaked White House audio shows that the Department of Justice (DoJ) understood that religious Americans may feel morally opposed to the vaccine as it contains or was tested on aborted fetal tissue. There was even speculation that Pfizer used aborted fetuses that were discarded to create the vaccine, but since the company is not required to disclose anything about the vaccine, we do not know the truth.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was designed to protect workers from religious discrimination if they have a “sincerely held belief.” However, some employers are requesting that employees admit whether they use common medicine such as Tums, Motrin, Tylenol, Benadryl, Claritin, and Aspirin among others as they were also developed using fetal cells. In the leaked audio, a lawyer from the DoJ states employees can honestly say they did not know that those medications were tested on fetal cells and will discontinue their use.
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The scale of Russian casualties in the war it started is staggering—and they continue to grow year over year:
2022 — 105,960
2023 — 359,230 (+250,000)
2024 — 789,550 (+430,000)
2025 — 1.2 million (+410,000)
These totals account for those killed in combat and those wounded so severely that they are considered an “irrecoverable loss.” Let’s compare this to the total number of losses during World War II:
Italy — 242,232
Hungary — 200,000
Japan — 1.3 million
Germany — 4+ million
Soviet Union – 8.5 million
The death rate is absolutely staggering and will permanently alter Russia’s demographics. United24 and other media outlets claim Russia has no concern for its citizens or army. They believe Moscow can simply retreat and end the war. That is impossible as Putin is fighting NATO. Ukraine was merely the stepping stone for Europe to enter Russia. Putin provided his terms for peace back in 2022 and has not wavered—honor the Minsk Agreement.
Zelensky begs for endless aid and defense to save Ukraine. He is responsible for continuing this war as he will not honor the initial Minsk Agreement and sold his nation to the Neocons who do not care about the people of Russia, or Ukraine for that matter.
The neocons do not value Russian lives. Do they value the lives of their own people? Doubtful, as they are willing to send them off to war. Every nation preparing for battle is preparing to decimate the next generation of men for an unworthy cause. I compiled the Peace Agreement to help avert the chaos on the horizon, the mass casualties, the permanent alteration of society. The sooner a treaty is agreed upon, the sooner the death toll can come to a halt. Truly picture 1.2 million men and women, dead, all because bureaucrats in glass castles crave power and fortune.

Fentanyl has been classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) after it claimed the lives of 57,000 Americans in 2025. The order directs the Attorney General, Defense, Homeland Security, State, and Treasury to treat illicit fentanyl networks as national‑security targets. The Secretary of War must update military guidelines on “chemical” incidents to include fentanyl, opening the door for enhanced border security.
The designation will allow the federal government to expand surveillance and increase sanctions. The US military may increase or begin paramilitary operations against cartels or nations that are believed to be weaponizing fentanyl against the American people.
Mexico, China, Venezuela, and even Canada are now potential harbors of WMD.
This is not merely a drug problem. It is a national security failure. When a substance can kill tens of thousands of people annually, hollow out entire communities, overwhelm hospitals, destroy labor participation, and destabilize law enforcement, it qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction even if it does not fit some Cold War definition.
Tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year from this chemical that has found its way into to every state in the nation. Of the 72,776 overdose deaths in the US this year, 70% were due to fentanyl. Overdose deaths have surged in the past decade from 3,105 in 2013 to over 70,000 annually by 2022, according to the CDC.
“Illicit fentanyl is closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic. Two milligrams, an almost undetectable trace amount equivalent to 10 to 15 grains of table salt, constitutes a lethal dose. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses,” the White House noted.
Open border policies were detrimental to national security and nations importing this substance must be held accountable for their own lack of oversight. It is unfortunate that this label will heighten hostilities, but the contrast is turning a blind eye as communities are devastated.
This is a free report we are providing to everyone for Christmas. The movement of gold from London and Switzerland is part of a major capital flight from Europe all because of their illegal seizure of Russian Assets that include about $50 billion of private Russians and businesses including Russian investments in European shares. The threats that is China assisted Russia in the war that they too could be sanctioned. Assets are fleeing Europe and this report provides also the history of how they froze assets of even Neutral Countries like Sweden, Switzerland, and Portugal because they might be doing business with Germany.
HISTORY REPEATS BECAUSE HUMAN NATURE NEVER CHANGES THEY COME UP WITH THE SAME IDEAS AND PRIVATE ASSETS ARE NEVER SAFE DURIN TIMES OF WAR

I am getting so tired of the propaganda. No matter what media I look at they are all cheering World War II and repeating the same NEOCON Narrative. This piece of propaganda actually says that surrounding the Donbas is Ukrainian culture. Really? Has anyone ever looked at the facts before they just publish the propaganda intent on creating WWIII with the greatest devastation that will may World War I and II like like trial runs. I am so gland I am not 18 years old. I have spent my life working wity markets and government all around the globe. I have had dinner with some of these Neocons. They are sick people filled with hatred and have no problem sending others to die for their personal vendettas.
We have the most INCOMPETENT world leaders and the press is hopeless. There are no more investigative journalists left in this world. People are hungry for the truth and mainstream media has done nothing put push the agendas that come down from above with no question. Czechoslovakia split along ethic lines – Czech Republic vs Slovakia. So did Yugoslavia. Why is Ukraine any different? Because the Neocons need Ukraine to start WWIII. If there was any rational peace deal, then NATO should be shut down – it is a relic from the Cold War.
In case anyone is this stupid to believe what is being written, the Ukrainians NEVER had a country any more than the Kurds of Iraq or the Druids of Syria. That is why the Ukrainians joined Hitler who promised if they killed everyone else, they would have their own country. The Donbas is by NO MEANS Ukrainian and it has NEVER been part of their culture.
Kiev is where the Russians began. They were defeated by the Mongols in 1240. Khrushchev was born there on the border. He was in charge of rebuilding Kiev after WWII. When he became the head of Russia, he redrew the map and place the Donbas under the administration of Kiev – not the Ukrainian people. His successor, Brezhnev, was born in the Donbas. To wite that the Donbas is the surrender of Ukrainian culture is total propaganda.
Such sympathy was typical of British press during the American Revolution. These people keep cheering for war over territory that has always been occupied by Russians – not Ukrainians. These people think they can defeat Russia and wipe it off the face of the Earth. Nuclear weapons were once a deterent to prevent war. Nor they are just dismissed.
The Donbas petitioned to separate. That was the Minsk Agreement. It was Kiev which was ordered by the Neocons and NATO to start this war. They declared the people in the Donbas terrorists.
If Hitler was alive, they would be supporting his Nazi agenda as well, which is what Ukraine is notorious for. MNo Ukrainian was ever put on trial because they were also massacring Russians and the CIA and MI6 loved that.

COMMENT: Marty, I find it curious that platforms like ___ ____ do not interview you when you are the guy with the biggest client base, the most experience, the guy governments have to talk to, and the guy they make movies about. When I asked my brother, who works on Wall Street in NYC, he said you were a whistleblower outing Soros, Buffett, and Goldman Sachs, among others, so they used the government to shut you up. The media’s avoidance is proof of a controlled narrative and that “they”take their orders just as they did with COVID. The video you put on about how they do the same thing in the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to hear, is absolutely chilling. So it is not just mainstream media, it is a lot of these channels that are obviously doing the same thing in finance as they did in COVID. If they do not interview you, there is something wrong.
STW
REPLY: I met a former senior guy at the NY Daily News or NY Post. I do not recall which. He told me how it works. The government calls you and says they have a favor. Kill some story or spin it a certain way. If you do not, they come after you personally with tax audits you name it. That is how they control the media. They control YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia. Schools will not allow students to use Wikipedia as a source because it is not reliable and amounts to government controlled propaganda. I an others can provide the evidence that I was a whistleblower but it means nothing. Mainstream media will NEVER tell the truth. This is the world of FAKE NEWS that we live in. They, and some podcast platforms, are there to support the government narrative no matter how absurd it may be. We say that with COVID.
Michael Hastings, an American investigative journalist and contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine. In early 2013, Hastings was actively working on a story about the National Security Agency (NSA) and was in contact with Edward Snowden’s legal team and associates. He exchanged emails with Snowden’s lawyer, Ben Wizner of the ACLU, about making contact with Snowden shortly after Snowden’s identity was revealed in June 2013. In the early morning hours of June 18, 2013, Hastings died in a single-car crash in Los Angeles. His Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe ran head-on into a palm tree at high speed, erupted in flames, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The 2010-2013 Mercedes-Benz C250 is potentially vulnerable to remote hacking, He was 33 years old.
The crash was highly unusual. Witnesses reported the car was traveling at an extremely high speed. Just hours before the crash, Hastings had emailed colleagues saying he was working on a big story and needed to “go off the radar” for a bit. This sequence of events, combined with his sensitive national security work, fueled widespread speculation that they hacked his car and he was dead. Of course, the official investigation by the LAPD insisted that there was no evidence of foul play. The cause was listed as an accident. If the car was hacked and driven into a tree and burst into flames, they would never have been able to find if the car was being remotely controlled.
The government intimidated all the platforms and mainstream media employing that intimidation tactic in COVID and they use it all the time in any high-profile case to hide the truth. That senior editor from the NY paper told me when the judge threw the Associated Press out on April 27th, 2000 and took all my lawyers away, he said they knew I was innocent. The Sixth Amendment guarantees you a “public trial.” They threw the press out and illegally closed the court. The journalist from AP walked right up to the bench and said we are the AP, you cannot throw us out. Judge Owen ordered the marshall to escort her out. I appealed to the Second Circuit. They refused to ever rule against the judge.
Even the allegation they made against me was just an absurdity. A bank cannot say that $1 billion was missing and the bank had no idea where it was, was laughable. You cannot get $1 billion out of a bank without a wire in which case you know where it went. The court appointed forensic accountant informed the court that I was the victim of the bank. The court looked the other way. They were protecting the bank and I would suspect many were paid off with the $400 million that stole from my firm aside from the restitution to all my clients.
I was interviewed by a journalist who was on to how the gane in ru=igged in NYC and asked me if the bank was illegally trading in my accounts “as they did in Madoff?” I said I could not verify that because i did not see where they backed out trades they said were errors. In Madoff’s case, there too the banks claimed to have had no knowledge. That was a lie for you have KNOWN YOUR CLIENT rules and Republic checked every single account we had. There is no way the banks were in the dark about Bernie Madoff (1938–2021). In an interview before he died, they saked him if the banks knew. He said of course. Not only are they TOO BIG TO FAIL, they are TOO BIG TO CRIMINALLY CHARGE!
I did an interview with the Japanese press and and told them to tell my clients to come to NYC and sue the bank our they would never see a dime. They did, and that is the only way the bank was forced to plead guilty and return the money they stole from my clients. The judges and prosecutors could NOT be that stupid. They were trying to aid the bank in stealing $1 billion from my clients because they lost $1 billion on Russia. hen I asked a NY lawyer why no banker is ever criminally charges, he responded: “You don’t shit where you eat.”
Even after the bank returned all the money to my clients, they then kept me in civil contempt where you are NOT entitled to a trial by jury – only in criminal contempt. I was never charged, they admitted that there was “no description of criminal activity” yet they kept me in prison with nothing – just to cover their ass. When I finally got to the Supreme Court and they ordered them to explain what was going on, only then was I released.
I had NO RESTITUTION because the bank stole the money. They write the script I was to read where I was not allowed to speak in my own words. Like any hostage held by a terrorist, you are handed a script that you are to read to pretend this is all legal.
They could not have me commit perjury since they wrote it. They had me say I failed to tell my clients that “these accounts would be separate and segregated from Republic’s own accounts and would not be available to Republic for its own benefit.” The accounts were supposed to be segregated. The bank took the money anyhow – not me or for my benefit.
The evidence is as plain as day. When I was in prison during the 2007-2009 Crash, they three me in the hole to cut off my communication with Congress who still came to me because I have the experience and know the market manipulations and who is behind what. They resulted in the House Financial Services Committee sending a letter asking what was going on. Everybody was throwing the warden under the bus. The rumor was she got one of those phone calls to cut off my communications.
I am sure some of these podcasts and mainstream media are intimidated not to put me on. That certainly calls into question their integrity and what they report. We know that mainstream media keeps preaching the interest rate myths. You do have to be careful. That’s why I refuse to sell even advertising. There should not be an conflict of interest. They do not like Socrates because it writes over 1,000 reports daily and it does not use their stupid myths.

European leaders were forced back down on stealing the Russian assets, and have agreed to keep Ukraine funded for two years with a loan of 90 billion euros, or about $105 billion. There is growing discontent within the EU, for a few countries I speak to are starting to realize that the EU is leading Europe to its utter destruction. NATO is pushing the EU into war. They are occupied by NEOCONS, including Americans who are using Europe to try to wage war, since they failed to defeat Trump.
Any peace deal with Russia means the death of NATO. Their entire existence depends on the old theory that Russia is communist and seeks the conquest of Europe. Those days are gone. They died in 1989. NATO should have been shut down then, when the WARSAW Pact collapsed. They pushed eastward and consumed the very Warsaw Pact country. That is not enough for these NEOCONS. They are intent upon WWIII and are relentless.
They own the press. Every article begins with Putin losing, implying that we can take Russia with one hand tied behind their back. Russia has NO interest in occupying Europe. They have nothing of value. Trump is after Venezuela because it has the largest oil reserves in the world. Trump is not interested in invading Mexico or Guatemala. Any student of military history knows well that what is waged for profit. It is the EU that salivates over the conquest of Russia for its $75 trillion in natural resources. They actually are talking behind the cameras about how they will rise again to rule the world.
Stealing the Russian assets violates every principle of international law. NO country should have any assets parked in EUROPE – Period!. The EU will NOT survive! There are already discussions about jettisoning troubled countries like Italy, and the EU will be regrouped among only the northern member states. This is a failed system. The idea of a trade union quickly gained power, and the idea that they could dictate to every member, overruling their culture and imposing their dictatorial views, which were always extremely left-wing.
That ambitious frozen-asset plan was killed at the 11th hour as European heads of state and government met in Brussels. There is a rift unfolding in the EU and this division risks pushing the EU ever closer to collapse because Brussels has lost its mind. They are desperate for money and that is what this war with Russia is all about. The NEOCONS control all of the press. Every article always claims Russia invaded Ukraine and has lost when Putin never intended to conquer all of Ukraine in the first place. The European press does NOT even try to report the news. It is always one-sided and the enemy is always anyone who is anti-war.
One must question how much in kick-backs are these EU leaders getting from Ukraine. It is no secret that billions are missing. Ukraine hosts one of the most corrupt governments in the world. The West and NATO have provided Ukraine with billions in funding but have been unable to track where the money is spent. They do not investigate where the money is spent because they also lack ethics and are only concerned that the war wages on. It comes as no surprise that Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has uncovered a major arms corruption scheme. Zelensky publicly admitted that half of all the money sent to Ukraine is unaccounted for. Yet not one EU leader even wants an investigation? WHY? Are they grabbing what they can before the EU collapses?
Ursula still refuses to release emails with Pfizer over what appears to be serious corruption. Ursula and Bourla’s exchanges could be vital to break the COVID scam wide open. Bourla is on tape – saying in the spring 2021 that the Europeans would need more shots and seasonal shots enriching Pfizer beyond belief. Ursula will not come clean on that and on top of this, her leadership regarding Russia and war is the total destruction of Europe and nobody will do a damn thing about her.
Now the EU is sanctioning attacking private oil tankers under the theory that they can crash the Russian economy. This is WWIII and this is what the US did to Japan that caused Pearl Harbor. The QENDIL tanker, flying the flag of Oman and allegedly part of Russia’s shadow fleet, was deliberately attacked by Ukrainian drones in the neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea, thousands of kilometres from Ukraine. The tanker was empty of oil to avoid angering its ‘partners’ with a spill. It has been alleged that the UK provided the targeting info. The strike reportedly occurred about 140 miles southwest of Crete.

The corruption on the Pharmaceutical Industry is no different from the Financial Industry. They pay big finds giving regulators gold stars for racking in the money, but nobody goes to jail – that is not profitable because they can’t get billions in fines from individuals. Until people who deliberately make decisions that destroy industries or kill people from drugs they know do not work, the question will remain – can we trust the regulators to actually protect society?

Government spending per person in the United States has soared nearly 10,000 percent over the last century, as reported by the Federalist. The number is staggering, but the true question isn’t how much has been spent but what was bought and why the US government needs to spend at such a level.
Woodrow Wilson secured his second term in 1916 with the slogan: “He Kept Us Out of War.” America entered World War I give months later. I have repeatedly warned that nothing is more inflationary than war. Woodrow’s Administration multiplied spending to fund the Great War and the pattern continued. The national debt rose by over 700% under Wilson from $2.9 billion to $23.97 billion. Now, the national debt rises by $70,000 per second.
A century ago, federal functions were minimal. There was no widespread welfare state, no Medicare/Medicaid, no Social Security, no massive national defense commitments, no Federal Reserve-backed interventions, and a much smaller economy. It is unfair to compare 1916 to today, even when adjusted for inflation, due to the rising population, technology, and role of government.
The end of World War II marked the dawn of the welfare state. Roosevelt’s New Deal offered endless promises and programs to help the public. This was the beginning of a new wave of public confidence—America secured global victory after World War II and became the financial capital of the world. The tab on those programs was allowed to accumulate for years, a century perhaps, but that bill is coming due soon.
Once a spending program is in place, it will remain in place. Taxes are never revised downward. Defense and retiree benefits are obligations that must be repaid. As we saw with the recent government shutdown, a staggering 40% of Americans rely on some form of government aid and are unable to provide for themselves.
Government spending has exploded in recent years. President Barack Obama spent $700 billion under TARP and later signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to the tune of $800 billion. Spending spiked during the pandemic. Over $800 billion was allotted to the Paycheck Protection Program, and an additional $800 billion was provided in Economic Impact Payments. A total of $670 billion was spend on unemployment due to lockdowns. States and local governments were provided $634 billion in pandemic aid. Then there was the stimulus package under Donald Trump that dolled out $835 billion.
No president spent as much as Joe Biden. The Inflation Reduction Act was the most expensive federal package in American history that surpassed $1 trillion. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen came out and admitted the truth – the act’s entire premise is to push the climate change agenda forward. “The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity,” Yellen admitted. The US saw inflation levels surpass 9%, and the final bill will be distributed to generations of Americans.
The US spent $7.035 trillion in FY2025, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which amounts to $20,474.19 per citizen. The recent government shutdown was the result of the Democrats insisting on raising federal spending as if it were possible to spend in perpetuity without repayment. The phenomenon is not isolated to the US as global debt reached 326% of GDP in January 2025. Failed policies and government spending have resulted in the current sovereign debt crisis. Governments have been borrowing since World War II with absolutely no intention of paying anything off. This is now all coming to a head, which is why we see governments becoming increasingly authoritarian, raising taxes, creating wars, and considering capital controls. A cycle in motion cannot be halted or altered. The bill is due, and the world must readjust to a new norm. We will see the massive changes on a global scale and into 2032 when the sovereign debt crisis implodes.
