A Court Ruling for a Basic Human and 1st Amendment Right. It is Applicable to Medicine as Well.
#45 2023 The Rowen Report
Dear Subscriber,
The American People just had a major victory in the courts. Judge Terry Doughty ruled against the Biden administration on a lawsuit brought by the AGs certain states who argued that contact between federal agencies and social media companies regarding alleged misinformation about COVID and vaccines was a violation of our sacred first amendment:
Judge Terry A. Doughty wrote in a 155-page memorandum ruling that he believes the plaintiffs are likely to prove that federal government officials are targeting and suppressing “millions of protected free speech postings by American citizens.”
“The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden’s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed. It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.”
How well put. I wonder if COVID politics would have gone the way it did (lunacy in my mind) if it were not for social media colluding with government to wipe out anything that stood up to the corrupt government paradigm. Belatedly, we now know that virtually everything we were told about COVID and the genetic jab was a lie. Not just false, but a LIE. And, government agencies used their power to suppress, intimidate, and wipe out speech in conflict with its lies. I know. I was one of them. I’ve told you I left Facebook because of censorship, and what I had posted that led to me being put in FB “jail” was absolutely true and known to be true at the time.
The Biden administration is appealing the ruling. From NPR:
What happens next?
The Biden administration is appealing the ruling, and the case may ultimately make it to the Supreme Court. The White House has regularly criticized tech companies for not doing enough to combat false and misleading claims about public health and elections on social media. The current conservative-leaning Supreme Court has ruled in favor of First Amendment rights over other considerations recently, including siding with a web designer who did not want to have to work with same-sex couples.

It appears that the Biden administration’s position is that the government can blatantly LIE to you, but you cannot voice your contrarian opinion or opposition.
Judge Doughty was appointed by President Trump.
Social media companies are private corporations. They have the right to censor what goes on their platform. However, if they do, then they take the role of publisher and should be held accountable for their own misinformation. That has not happened yet. I sure hope it does.
To Your Excellent Health,

PS I recently heard an analogy that went something like this:
“The Conservative or Constitutionalist will say, “I’d like to do it my way.” The government Liberal, or Leftist, will tell that person, “You will do it the way we tell you OR ELSE!” That analogy was made in a comment over the web designer who did not want to make a site for a same sex wedding for religious reasons. The refusal appeared to be a violation of a Colorado law protecting “rights” of non-conventional couples. Rather than simply go down the street to a shop sympathetic to non-conventional marriages, the same sex couple decided to destroy the web designer. After years in courts, and perhaps millions in legal expenses, the shopkeeper “won”, but was financially destroyed in the process of standing up for religious beliefs.
I have strong personal feelings about this. I am all in favor of personal choice in life, marital, and/or sexual partner. Your choice is not my business. However, I am not in favor of forcing anyone else by coercion, threats of fines, imprisonment or more, to violate his conscience over these matters. Why? I consider myself and all alternative physicians as artists as well. Shall we permit the government to use coercion, fines, penalties, or imprisonment to force us to violate our conscience and treat you with Band-Aid chemical medicine? Yet that is exactly what my peers and I suffered for decades until we began to pass laws protecting what otherwise were/are unalienable rights over personal health matters. And still to this day we continue to fight the battle, as witnessed in the COVID scamdemic.
I don't know if I coined or not. Regardless, it was a scamdemic to me.
Well here’s some terrific news: The Biden administration loses battle to force American Doctors to perform Abortions and Gender Reassignment surgery. Thank God for the decision of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Dr. Rowen.
“Christian medical leaders raised concerns about a new pro-abortion mandate imposed by the Biden administration, which had the potential to shut down Christian healthcare across the United States. Officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had planned to revoke a rule established during the Trump administration, which protected Pro-Life medical workers from being obligated to terminate unborn babies in elective abortions or perform transgender procedures.”
