COVID: Major case filed against Ohio governor and the state of Ohio for restricting freedom without legitimate justification

Ohio attorney, Thomas Renz, on behalf of plaintiffs, has filed a case against the state of Ohio and Governor Mike DeWine.  Renz is asking for a jury trial.

This case, in the current climate, should provoke intense interest from the public, and from every lawyer within hailing distance.

Here is the impressive opening salvo in the court filing:

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed)

“In recent months, entire states have been imprisoned without due process and with the clear threat to impose such lockdowns again, interstate travel has been severely restricted, privacy rights have been devastated, numerous business takings without compensation, and many regulations being implemented without statutory process requirements under the guise of a health emergency that is roughly as dangerous as a seasonal influenza outbreak. The plaintiffs in this case have all been injured in various capacities by these unconstitutional actions, and without action by the Court, will be left without redress. More terrifying, without action by the Court, the Court will be setting future precedent that will allow states to withhold fundamental Constitutional rights, in violation of US Supreme Court precedent, circumventing the various levels of scrutiny applied to such rights, and justify such actions under public health emergency orders without subjecting those orders to any real review—-just trust the bureaucrats because they are the experts.”

Here is the most important point: “We humbly ask the Court in this case to…Recognize that the political process and operative orders are invalid if based on false or misleading information… and recognize the criticality that all future emergency orders be based and maintained on clear, honest facts—-particularly when such orders are infringing on Constitutional rights.”

In other words, a declared State of Emergency cannot stand on the mere basis of arbitrary edict.

Facts matter.  Actual science matters.  Reasons why an Emergency is declared matter.

People can’t be locked down and restrained from earning a living and having contact with other humans simply because a state authority decides to issue such orders.

If this case goes to trial, the door will open to the presentation of fact and science.

Attorney Renz, for the plaintiffs, is well aware of this, and his filing is studded with bold and accurate claims of fact:

“According to recent data from the Ohio COVID-19 Dashboard, we can see that the ‘spike’ in cases is actually just a spike in testing. The State went from a few thousand tests per day to 25,000 tests plus per day. The positivity rate for COVID-19 has remained fairly steady but there have been more tests.”

“When the Emergency was declared we heard a daily drumbeat about the danger and deaths related to COVID-19. Now that the case fatality rate has been shown to be roughly the same as the yearly flu…those [death] numbers are simply not scary to the public. As a result, the State sees no impact from talking about fatalities and has instead begun testing more so they could tell us there are more cases.”

“The PCR tests are generally viewed as the means of determining if a patient has COVID-19. The problem is that the inventor of the PCR test, who won a Nobel Prize in chemistry for the invention, specifically stated that the test was not well-suited to and never designed to diagnose disease. Much has been made about this in the press and elsewhere but the reason there are issues with PCR testing in relation to COVID is that PCR testing cannot detect how much of a virus exists in a person. Exposure of the existence of incomplete traces of a virus do not mean a person is infected with a disease [,] which is part of the reason the PCR tests have an elevated rate of false positives.”

“…there is not even a true standard for testing…Instead we have numerous tests from numerous vendors that may or may not have a similar standard for what it means to ‘have’ COVID-19. The CDC, governor, and ODH [Ohio Department of Health] know this so they have allowed for the diagnosis of cases based on as meaningless criteria as a cough in a community in which COVID supposedly exists.”

This case is being argued not only on Constitutional grounds, but on major and deep issues of science

Plow through this quote and then receive the translation below: “Another document also came to light that is critical in demonstrating the egregiously misleading nature of the public COVID-19 data. On the final paragraph of page 39 of a document published by the FDA regarding instructions for a COVID-19 test is the following quote: ‘Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/μL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen’.”

“In plain English this means that there are no available pure 2019-nCOVvirus isolates to test against so instead an educated best guess is being used. The question this leads us to is how accurate can a test be for a virus that has not been defined…? If our freedoms are to be abridged under an emergency declaration related to a disease, should it not be a requirement that the disease at least be defined?”

As you can see, this case is being argued not only on Constitutional grounds, but on major and deep issues of science.  The plaintiffs are not accepting “the Word from the experts.”

There is no reason why they, or anyone, should surrender and accept.

In Ohio, a bright light is shining in the darkness.

Court Rules Lockdowns & Limits on Crowds are Unconstitutional


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Re-Posted Sep 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

A federal judge has ruled against Pennsylvania’s Governor Democrat Tom Wold who has put countless small businesses out of business permanently including friends who had just opened a health spa and lost their life savings. Wolf impose of no more than 25 people were allowed indoors and 250 people outdoors. The judge correctly ruled that these arbitrary limits on crowd sizes and business closing orders to slow the spread of coronavirus were unconstitutional violating the freedom of assembly under the First Amendment. Essentially, Governor’s pandemic restrictions that required people to stay at home, placed size limits on gatherings, and ordered “non-life-sustaining” businesses to shut down, were struck down.

There has been a campaign against people who have spoken against Gates, this virus, and simply because Trump said he was taking Hydrochlorothiazide so all of a sudden it is lethal because Trump is taking it. Anyone who has spoken out is called a conspiracy theorist when that label applies to people making tenuous connections between things. Here we have Bill Gates constantly on TV around the world arguing for these lockdowns, saying we will never be safe without his vaccine and supports the elimination of paper money to force everyone into digital currencies where the Tech companies will get a piece of every transaction in the world. He experiments in Africa to launch what he would love to do to the rest of the world. Just saying this makes me now some conspiracy theorists despite the fact I just look to his own confirmed actions.

These lockdowns have cost more lives than the virus, but those desperate to keep us unconstitutionally locked down are clandestine supporters of Gates and have no problem with the blood on their hands. Even the CDC has admitted that handing hospital money for COVID has created an unethical economic incentive to escalated the numbers.

The REAL conspiracy theorists are those coming out calling anyone who dares to challenge their Gates Narrative the real threat to our liberty. This court order striking down what these people support as unconstitutional goes a long way in tipping the scales as to who are the REAL conspiracy theorists plotting to keep everyone ignorant.

Food Shortages to Reduce the Population Brought to you by the COVID Triumvirate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Agriculture

Re-Posted Sep 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

This is a photo of the food line beside the Brooklyn Bridge approach in New York City that prevailed between 1930 and 1935. Never before in history have Americans had to cue in line for food since this orchestrated pandemic by Gates, Fauci, and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. Food prices are also rising because of this dynamic trio because they have deliberately shut down food production. Farmers have been unable to get their food to market because of the lockdowns and social distancing.

Today, there are food lines once again because of this dynamic trio, the COVID Triumvirate, composed of Gates, Fauci, & Schwab. Food lines have appeared around the country from Miami to New York City. Farmers were already being pushed into bankruptcies in 2019. That is only getting worse because this COVID Triumvirate also wants to end meat production to reduce CO2 (the World Economic Forum is pushing hard to end meat production).

Fauci Belongs in Prison


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted Sep 14, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty,

Good morning. Well here we go, not that we didn’t already know, but here we have Fauci making an official proclamation of what’s to come over the next few months.

In another article from CNN about Fauci’s proclamation, continued widespread use of face masks is promoted as are keeping college students away from home under the pretense of not spreading the virus. A nice little trick to divide and conquer the family, so they can continue to indoctrinate the youth. As for the children in grade to high school, they ask the parents to sign a waiver and agreement that the parents won’t be in the same room as the children if they’re receiving the virtual lessons. I wonder why that is? Maybe they don’t want to see what really is being taught in school? Can’t imagine leaving my children online by themselves with some adults.

Keep up the good work. Hope all is well!

Best,
E

ANSWER: This is all political. The health director of Los Angeles openly admitted they will keep schools closed until after the election. I suppose if Biden wins, they think COVID will be cured before he even takes office. I saw a family of four driving and they all were wearing masks inside their own car. I suppose they all most sleep in separate rooms and eat in rotation. They really7 should have STUPID awards available where you could hand them out. It is people like this who are surrendering all our rights to this orchestrated political play.

Fauci belongs in prison. Fauci’s conflicts of interest and experiments with coronaviruses, which he sent to Wuhan when ordered to stop in the United States, is unbelievable. CNN will never report anything along those lines because they are out to hang Trump no matter what Fauci and Gates do to the nation. As I reported, in Thailand where they did not pay hospitals if the person had COVID, there were only 58 deaths out of 69 million people. There were 2551 deaths by suicide because they have destroyed people’s livelihoods. In Singapore, they have started a movement begging teens not to commit suicide, asking them to please stay. This is completely exaggerated and it is being done deliberately to overthrow Trump and usher in dramatically higher taxes with this New Green World Order with the United Nations, the major puppet of Bill Gates, along with a co-conspirator Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum.

Comment from Sweden


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Re-Posted Sep 11, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:

Hi, yesterday it was reported that the monthly official testing for covid of 2500 randomly selected persons in all of Sweden (totally ca 10 million) showed exactly ZERO covid cases in August. During the peak of the outbreak in April such testing showed merely 0,9% and in May 0,3%. These figures are officially presented to be calculated as statistically safe and sound numbers, thus representing the broad picture of the true situation in the country. Local regional variances or outbreaks may occur, but it will not affect the broad picture statistically.

Additionally, there have been several official testing for anti-bodies of covid randomly within the country’s population. These tests have confirmed that about 1/6 to 1/5 of the population has indeed already anti-bodies of covid, which means in fact that the curiously enough mockered ”herd-immunity” theory works quite well in reality with the spread of this covid virus. This is the natural cycle of all viruses throughout history of mankind, starting long before Bill Gates promoted his investments into vaccines together with WHO, UN, most of the media and the power-grabbing political elite class (while sipping champagne in Davos with some few 007-Specterlike megalomania investors).

Sweden has almost no covid patients in intensive care any more. The intensive care departments for covid are even completely empty in many hospitals. Some main State regional university hospitals start to go back from emergency work mode to normal work mode. Low paid nurses are actually being laid off in significant numbers, after being applauded by the scared public on the balconies and from the windows at 8 pm every day since the middle of March. ”Thank you for the coffee” without being served coffee, as we would say in Sweden with indignation and displeasure.

The total number of deaths in the country this year is very normal, even a bit lower than normal.
The persons who died with (not necessarily because of) covid, including our sparky and strong great-grandmother at 95 rip, had a higher average age of 88 than the average life time in the country being 82 for men and 85 for women.

It must be noted in the light of the above facts, that Sweden never had any Lockdowns nor any mandatory Masks during this virus pandemic (by definition not yet near a real epidemic!).
Restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, hair salons, training facilities and schools etc have been open all the time during the covid scare. The restrictions were really only about crowding of max 50, now 500 but probably increasing further soon, and about the illogical distance learning only in high-schools and universities (exams and tests were funny enough allowed in crowded halls). Seemingly this was just to passify the curious and critical teenagers and young adults from gathering in high schools, universities as well as in and around the soccer stadiums.
Interestingly, we hade many aggressive journalists, especially from Germany and UK, on the Public Health Authority’s press conferences during April-June when Sweden refused Lockdowns and Masks in stark contrast to the US and EU locking down their citizens with police enforcing totalitarian curfews and masks on etc. Now the international media has vanished from these pressers and the aggressive and very insinuating questions about the need of Lockdowns and Masks in Sweden echoes in silience.

The case of Sweden, with 10 million citizens out of 8-9 million living in non-rural areas, has proven that Lockdowns and Mask have been a big scam from the beginning. Covid disappeared during summer without Lockdowns and Mask, as the flu seasonality does every summer. Now it will come to some flu again, maybe covid again because of the World locking down and avoiding herd immunity. But if not covid, so another virus like every year.

Covid in Sweden:
• No more total deaths this year than normal.
• No decrease of the average life time this year.
• Covid herd immunity of 20% with anti-bodies achieved during spring/summer.
• Empty intensive care units.
• No cases in August.
• No Lockdowns.
• No Masks.

Nevertheless, our economy (incl negative GDP growth, blocked imports/exports, broken consumer confidence, paused investments, jobless rates and new Gov debts etc) is also destroyed due to the reckless and coordinated fear-mongering. The lack of Lockdowns and Masks have not been a fact because the elite did not want to enforce such totalitarian restrictions, but they realized at the top rather quickly that Swedes would simply refuse and risk to apply the old ”sacred” tradition of so called ”civil disobedience” in thousands.

Keep up your invaluable and amazing work for the little people and for the virtues of truth, knowledge and freedom!

Kind regards,

HJ

REPLY: I do not see these billionaire dropouts winning. People like Klaus Schwab have used their influence to lobby politicians to impose, by force, this Utopian Great Reset. This will only lead to civil unrest and blood in the streets. They will claim they are protecting us from ourselves, so we must surrender all of our freedoms for the sake of Democracy. They are seriously deranged people who sit around talking to each other and never with anyone in the real world, for we are the great unwashed and too stupid to understand what they alone can envision.

The Insanity of Boris Johnson & the Destruction of Britain


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN

Re-Posted Sep 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:

Hi Marty,

Slovak Parliament passed, a few days ago, the law that obliges telecoms to hand over to the Ministry of Health the data (name, cell phone number, and location info for the last 2 weeks) on everyone who has, at any point in the prior two weeks, been abroad (and has now entered Slovakia). This goes contrary to the previous telecom laws that provided for some privacy; now privacy is out and total government surveillance is in. For “health” reasons, of course. The government will thus be able to instantly know which Slovaks (or people with a Slovak cell phone) have not complied with the decree that forces everyone who returns from a “high risk” country (which now includes virtually every country in the world, incl. most European ones) to get immediately tested for “covid” as well as quarantine for two weeks. The fine for not complying with the test/quarantine is 5,000 euros –  about half of the average annual wage in Slovakia!
(Also, in an extension of the obligatory muzzle decree, even little kids in schools will now have to wear masks! In a country with 37 alleged “covid” deaths since March, and a handful of people in hospitals with “covid”. Btw, the fines for not wearing a muzzle where it’s mandated are up to 1,695 euros.)

Meanwhile, more tyranny in the UK too.

New restrictions make meetings with more than 6 people illegal, and one can get arrested (and fined up to 3,200 GBP). So I guess that also means no more anti-tyranny demonstrations. How convenient!
Any hospitality venues that are allowed to be open (such as restaurants, cafes, pubs, etc) must take and keep customers’ contact info (for tracking & tracing). And, thousands of “Covid-secure marshalls” will be policing towns and streets to ensure everyone is obeying the rules (“social distancing”, masks, etc).
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the new rules will last for the ‘foreseeable future’, and will only be withdrawn after the implementation of a vaccine or better mass testing.

Even more insanely, they plan to test every person EVERY WEEK, doing 10 million “covid” tests every single day (by early 2021 – so obviously the plan is to keep this farce on for the long term). Only the people who have a negative test would be allowed to enter venues and public places!

Workplaces, schools, football stadiums, entertainment venues, GP surgeries and pharmacies are all outlined as potential sites where testing could take place. Digital immunity passports for those who test negative would also be rolled out to allow safe travel, a return to work and other activities.
It comes after it emerged that theatres and sports venues could soon test all audience members and let in those with a negative result under the Prime Minister’s plans to get life in the UK back to normal. Mr Johnson today announced a pilot programme will be launched in Salford next month which will see audiences at both indoor and outdoor venues tested on the day to see if they are infectious. Those who test positive for coronavirus will be sent home while those who test negative will be allowed in. Mr Johnson told a Downing Street coronavirus press conference this evening that negative tests would effectively provide people with a ‘passport’ which would allow them a ‘freedom to mingle with everybody else who is similarly not infectious in a way that is currently impossible’. ‘in the near future we want to start using testing to identify people who are negative… so we can allow them to behave in a more normal way.’

And, here is why the number of “infected” has allegedly been rising. (As in every other country, the vast majority of these alleged “infected” have no symptoms whatsoever.)
From 13,000 daily tests in April to some 240,000 daily tests now!

Take care.
P

REPLY: These politicians know full well that there is no pandemic. They are deliberately doing this because their economies are collapsing and using this virus is the best way to pretend they are protecting the people while they are preparing to try to reorganize the economy and cleverly default on national debts. Borris Johnson is a disgrace to the conservative Party. I am glad Maggie Thatcher is not alive to see what Borris has done. Anyone who doubted that the British pound would penetrate the 1985 low, perhaps should take a closer look.

Washington Post January 2020: POTUS “Hyping” COVID Panic – September 2020: POTUS “Downplayed” COVID Panic…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on September 9, 2020 by 

After watching political narrative engineering for years, this attempt was predictable. The reason why CTH maintains a “pinned thread” on the White House COVID-19 response from January and February of 2020 is specifically because we knew the narrative engineers would attempt to weaponize the politics of the virus later in the election year.

We knew the narrative engineers would flip the script. Today they did exactly that.

The day after President Trump established a “coronavirus taskforce”, on January 31, 2020, the Washington Post published an article saying that President Trump was hyping the concern over COVID-19 in response to him shutting down travel and implementing major restrictions:

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.

The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.

[…] “This is a serious health situation in China, but I want to emphasize that the risk to the American public currently is low,” said Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Our goal is to do all we can do to keep it that way.”

[…] Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the process for testing people for the new strain of coronavirus had proved very imprecise so far and that this is one of the reasons for the aggressive U.S. response. (link)

Within hours of President Trump’s decision to restrict travel from China on Jan. 31, top Democrats and media figures immediately derided the move as unnecessary and xenophobic.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden led the way, quickly attacking what he called Trump’s “record of hysteria, xenophobia and fear-mongering” after the travel restrictions were announced.  A Jan. 31 article in The New York Times quoted epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm as saying that Trump’s decision to restrict travel from China was “more of an emotional or political reaction.”

In March, another Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, conspicuously insisted at a Fox News town hall that he wouldn’t consider closing the U.S. border to prevent the spread of coronavirus, before condemning what he called the president’s xenophobia.  The overwhelming narrative was that President Trump’s proactive measures were fear-mongering and intended to produce panic.

Now we fast-forward to today… predictably, as if on the anticipated cue…. the exact same outlet, the Washington Post, now says President Trump “downplayed” the danger.

[…] At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, predicting it would soon disappear and insisting that the U.S. government had it totally under control. It would be several weeks before he would publicly acknowledge that the virus was no ordinary flu and that it could be transmitted through the air. (read more)

(LINK to Tweet)

So in January, February and March, 2020, the best political attack position was to say that President Trump was overreacting and hyping panic.  Now in September 2020 the best political attack position is to say he down-played the danger.

This was as predictable as the sunrise.

The media hype around COVID-19 was/is a political weapon first and foremost.  The leftists and their media scribes had a long-term plan to use the virus as a political weapon based on any position that President Trump would have taken.

The Bob Woodward book is simply an exhibition in this type of purposeful narrative engineering.  However, the American electorate are not stupid.

German Health Minister Admits Lockdowns Were a Mistake


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Posted Sep 4, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

While in the United States, Twitter, Youtube, CNN, and the rest of the growing Marxist supporters try to claim the CDC saying less than 10,000 people have died of only COVID-19, the German Health Minister Jens Spahn has come out and publicly admitted that the lockdowns were too harsh and uncalled for.  This is starting where many are now calling for an investigation. There is hope that perhaps this conspiracy to use this virus, that may have been created in a lab intentionally not to really cause massive deaths, will lead to the exposure of this conspiracy to crash the economy in order to justify this  Great Reset may at last unfold.

Keep in mind this has been funded by the Billionaire Dropouts who are suddenly experts on viruses, CO2, population growth, and Marxist Equality – excluding them of course. There is still hope with all their propaganda, we may see justice at last. Everyone who has been involved from the head of CNN to the head of the World Economic Forum, should spend the rest of their lives being taken care off enjoying perfect Marxist equality behind bars where there is no paper money, which should make them very happy, and packets of fish are the number one barter currency.
