Idaho Health District Puts the Brakes on COVID Vaccines

By David Jaques

Caldwell, Idaho – On Tuesday, October 22nd, the Southwest District Health (SWDH) Board of Directors met at 9:00am Mountain Time to hear arguments for and against continuing to purchase, promote, and administer COVID-19 vaccines within the health district.

Dr. John Tribble, along with a team of presenters that he assembled, led the discussion on the safety and efficacy of the vaccines with the goal of ultimately working towards repairing trust with the public. Dr. Tribble, an emergency medicine doctor, is the Physician Advisor for the district which includes Adams, Canyon, Gem, Payette and Washington counties. 

Dr. Ryan Cole and Dr. Peter McCullough were among the speakers testifying in favor of stopping the COVID 19 injections and getting them off the SWDH vaccination schedule.

After lengthy testimony from both sides, in a 4-3 vote the board made the decision that SWDH would no longer provide or administer the COVID vaccines. This decision will effectively uncouple SWDH from the CDC and its recommendations on COVID vaccines and will take effect in all five counties under SWDH jurisdiction.

Miste Karlfeldt, Co-Executive Director and founding member of Health Freedom Idaho, said the decision reached by the SWDH board today is historic and that to her knowledge, the first of its kind in the United States, and may be only the second such decision by governing authorities anywhere in the world.

Karlfeldt said she’s confident that the landmark decision today will give courage to other health administrators throughout Idaho and around the nation and that it will have a grassfire effect when it comes to the protection of individual health autonomy.

Dr. Tribble said, “I believe this decision is monumental and serves as a precedent going forward for other health agencies. It’s the first step in accountability for our federal health agencies and gives hope to the millions of vaccine injured.”

Editorial: Crumbling of Confidence

I’ve been in the political game for many, many years. In fact, all told 46 years to be precise. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman most of those years, starting back when it was still okay to say Committeeman and Committeewoman, back when we actually knew, and were able to say we knew the difference.

When it comes to the political process I’ve done nearly everything there is to do, from canvassing door-to-door in support of candidates and measures, to manning (personning) fair booths, to going out and soliciting sign locations and then pounding “T” posts into the hard summer ground all over Oregon to hang those signs on. And I’ve certainly done my share of fundraising calls and get- out- the- vote calls.

The scope of my activities have included virtually every volunteer position you can imagine, as well as being hired staff including campaign management, and lead consultant. Campaigns that I have been involved with always been for conservative (or at least the most conservative)

Republican candidate in the field. Campaigns ranging from County Commissioner, to gubernatorial, congressional, even presidential. I was hired to be advance man for a Presidential candidate, surrogate speaker for three other Presidential campaigns, field director for a gubernatorial candidate, and been campaign manager and paid consultant for congressional campaigns. One memorable campaign was when I served as media manager for the Joe Lutz for U.S. Senate race in his primary challenge of Senator Bob Packwood, way back in 1986.

Packwood was known then as the leading proponent of abortion on demand in the U.S. Senate, and was therefore dubbed by many as “Senator Death.” Needless to say, that was a formidable hill to climb politically as Packwood had the endorsement of literally every elected Republican in the state, including the last Oregon Republican Governor, Vic Atiyeh, and had over $6 million dollars in the bank before we even began our campaign, and was at the time Chairman of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee.

You might say we took on the big dog! And when we showed up at the Dorchester Conference that year, our reception was a bit chilly, but we persevered and won over some of the attendees. And no, that one wasn’t a victory, but we came mighty close to bringing about one of the greatest upsets in Oregon political history. And it wasn’t many years before Packwood would eventually step down in disgrace. But our challenge of the political elite drew the national press, including the New York Times. We even had Howard Phillips, Chairman of the Conservative Caucus, come out for a big fundraising event. Ours was a true grassroots effort, you might even say a Make America Great Again campaign, before any of us had ever even heard of Donald Trump.

Oh, I could go on and on, but I needed to set a little backdrop to the thoughts that follow. And that backdrop is simply, there’s noting new under the sun. I believe that’s in Ecclesiastes.

And by nothing new, I mean politics has always been a rough and tumble game, and that is nothing new. But this year I have seen a level of nastiness and dishonesty which I have not encountered before. And as I mentioned I have been in some rather high-stakes contests.

But something has gone terribly wrong this election cycle. I think tensions are higher than I can ever remember. Some of this I’m sure is due to the crumbling of confidence in not just our candidates, but in our electoral process as well. I’m sure most of us cannot remember feeling so insecure about the prospect of having an honest and accountable election.

And if you were unfortunate enough to have gone on the record with your doubts, like President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell, Sydney Powell, or the unfortunate patriots who went to Washington, D.C., seeking answers and voicing their concerns about the integrity of the 2020 elections, you have paid a high price for doing so. Many of the public names mentioned, have been ruined financially and professionally as a result, and threatened with heavy fines and imprisonment.

And if you even had the nerve to report on this, ask the executives at FOX News who settled for $787 million with the vote counting machine makers Dominion, just for their reporting on it!

So, there’s anxiety alright about our elections. And in Oregon we have the added disadvantage of having the fraud ridden vote-by-mail system, further clouding our confidence in a fair and open process.

Then it comes down to the candidates, and those who once were aspiring candidates but are now in the ruling class, some of whom unbeknownst to them, have subtly changed, morphed if you will into the very establishment they ran against, who now cling to the office they have attained. Oh, the examples are nearly unlimited.

And you know many of them. But let’s just throw into the mix, one of the most prominent, House Speaker Mike Johnson. Many, myself included, are utterly dismayed at his performance and capitulation in an effort to appear bipartisan. Instead, he has just affirmed the existence of and power of the Uniparty.

But right here in Oregon we have seen the emergence of the same beast. We have elected republicans right here, in our State legislature, who in the interest of the happy, if elusive, concept of bipartisanship, find themselves voting over and over and over again for things they swear when back in their districts they are totally against! I know that you here in Oregon understand this, but it is absolutely true in the states many of you reading this, live in as well.

It used to be the deceit and the falsehoods, which inevitably come out, were subtle, or at least not in your face, and at least attempted to have a resemblance of the truth. But not so this season. I was talking to Kevin Starrett of Oregon Firearms Federation day before yesterday, someone I have known and respected for years, who said to me “This is the worst I’ve seen in 40 plus years of doing this.” By this he meant being in the political process, in his case primarily dealing with Second Amendment, gun rights, issues. But Kevin, having walked the halls of the legislature and talked to those crafting or supporting bills, knows who pulls the levers, and where most of the bodies are (metaphorically speaking) in this political contest, and who you can, and cannot trust. My response to Kevin was, “I hear that brother” (only I have 46 years).

Congresswoman from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene said it best when on Tucker Carlson recently; “Everyone in the Congress should be thrown out.” She said it has gotten so bad that we need to start over. Well, maybe not everyone Marjorie, we need you to whip the freshmen into shape when we send them. I’ve said for years that we could fit all of the true patriots in the current Congress, whom we can trust, in a short bus. There may be a second bus full we could scrounge up, but I’m not sure.

During this last session in Oregon, because the Republicans in the House and Senate — except for a few, the brave ten who walked out — caved we ended up with some of the worst legislation in our lifetime. Legislation such as HB 2002B, which was signed into law by corrupt Governor Kotek, which allows for the surgical mutilation of our children, and allows girls as young as 15 to get an abortion at no cost and without parental consent! And these same legislators want to be sent back, to directly participate in or allow bills like this to come up next session.

Many of these members of the Uniparty are, almost to the person, the same ones who pushed and continue to push the filthy lie of Climate Change, who allowed for you to be locked down and separated from your families during COVID and allowed tampons to be placed in boys bathrooms in your government schools!

We all know we can do better than what we have settled for. And if we are ever going to restore confidence in the crumbling infrastructure of our civil institutions and our American way of life, we had better stop sending who we’ve sent before.

CASEY’S Restaurant OPENS for DINE-IN

Roseburg, Ore-The owners of Casey’s Restaurant in Roseburg, Lance and Laurie Mounts, were encouraged when they heard about Governor Kate Brown exceeding her authority due to the 30 day limitation on her Executive Order. They had read the claims by the Willamette University law professor that Brown had possibly violated the Article 10A of the Oregon Constitution which states the Executive Order declaring an emergency cannot exceed thirty days from issue without legislative action and approval; if found to be true, the Executive Order expired April 7, 2020.

“We are not anti- government rebels” Laurie said, but we’ve got to save our business”. She said “It isn’t just a matter of the shutdown having an effect on us financially, but we bought this business from my parents two years ago and this is their retirement income also. And then there’s the 21 employees, they all have families and obligations to meet.”

Like thousands of business owners and employees throughout Oregon, the Mounts have had to improvise to stay afloat.

Initially, day one after the shutdown was ordered they began offering take-out meals, cutting their staff from 21 down to 2. And Lance said most of those who were laid off, are long-term employees, and some of them “haven’t even got their unemployment yet!”

But on Tuesday May 5th Casey’s was open for Dine-In service once again. The response from the public has been tremendous said the Mounts. And best of all they were able to call back to work all 21 of the original staff. But before the decision to open was made they had a meeting with the employees asking if any one of them had any concerns about their safety, or anything else. The response was unanimous; no concerns, it  was a green light to open back up!

However the State of Oregon didn’t see it that way. On Friday May 8, Mark Walker, Safety and Compliance Officer with Oregon OSHA visited Casey’s and issued them a “Red Tag” which states that the business was unsafe and must close their doors.

When we asked what safety codes or issues they had violated the Mounts said, “none”. In fact the OSHA Compliance officer said he observed them taking all the right steps at sanitation and doing a good job of meeting social distancing guidelines.

The response from their customers was again overwhelmingly in support. Many of them said “tear it down” in reference to the Red Tag. But the owners said they would not do that, and let the matter run its course as they remained open.

Walker told them on Monday May 11, with regards to their remaining open after the red tag “We’ve never encountered this before…” telling them that he and his superior as of that date did not know what steps OSHA would take, since this is unchartered territory for them. He did say they could be subject to a citation or fines, but none have been issued as of this writing.

Mother’s Day was a banner day for Casey’s; the place was busy from their 6:00 am opening to 8:00 pm that  night. At one point some patrons came in and presented them with a metal sculpture of an American flag and the words, God, Guns and Guts Made America Free cut out in the metal. Lance said he was overwhelmed by the gesture and encouragement, and when he thanked the group that presented it and all the patrons eating Mother’s Day meals, the whole place burst out into spontaneous applause! “I’m usually not an overly emotional guy” Lance said “but this really got me choked up.”

Patrons have said things like; “Thank you for letting us be Americans again”, “Gods Bless you Honey for opening back up”, and “Thank you for serving the people.” Clearly to the patrons of Casey’s it means more to them than just a hot meal, and a cup of coffee, but it’s the warm atmosphere, and for many a place where they can belong.

Lance and Laurie admit they don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but for more than 52 years Casey’s, now with a second generation family owner, has been right here, a Roseburg landmark. They say they are confident, and have a “total peace” about their decision and that their faith in God guides them through each and every day.

They also want to let the public know how much they have appreciated all the support that keeps pouring in!

A resurrection in the making…

I read something in a FaceBook post from a pastor I am unfamiliar with, Mario Murillo.

“Today, as I prayed, a strange and unexpected phrase leapt into my spirit, “Trump is about to have his Winston Churchill moment.” It stunned me because it seemed so inappropriate in the light of current events. This is no time for cheerleading or political grandstanding. We are in lockdown!”

Pastor Murillo went on to say that President Trump was about to show us more of the New Yorker in him.

“He is a New Yorker. I have always loved New Yorkers. My favorite area to preach has always been New York. My preaching doesn’t scare them there. The New York side of Trump is about to make an appearance. That thing that’s in the water that makes the pizza so great, is also in Donald Trump. You want to get something done? Tell a New Yorker it’s impossible.” 

He made a very interesting point about the “Churchill moment”. But Mario drew the absolute opposite conclusion as to the form of Trump’s Churchill moment than what concluded.

“He will inspire us to pay the price. So what if we have to sit at home and wait it out? So what if we have to risk our economy in order to defeat this menace? The fear is unwarranted. But the sacrifice is doable.” 

Churchill, like Trump, had the deep state, members from his own party, as well as the opposition party, at his throat, nonstop from the moment of his swearing in. Parliament and Neville Chamberlain wanted Churchill to surrender and cut a deal with Hitler. He decided to fight instead, and the people were with him. His decisive actions literally saved England and all of Europe. Just  as Trump’s decisive actions will be required to save America and the free western world from the globalists who are bent on destroying both. But Mario  interprets that as ‘staying the course’ and as I see it, hiding in fear from the virus.

That’s not the New York, Trump way, hell; it’s not the American way! We will face it head on, not shirking in a corner. Just as we’ve faced every other threat or challenge in our nation’s history.

President Trump was damned from the get-go with this Corona thing that was formed against him and us. Do too little and you’re endangering lives, do too much, and you’re endangering even more lives and the entire wealth of a nation.

The president has walked a tight rope, and no matter what he has achieved, as for the party of hate and disruption, it can never be enough. He has had to rely on dubious statistics, and computer modelling, both of which have now fallen suspect.

According to the CDC reports as of April 7, 2020 the new reported cases has fallen to just one yesterday (4-6-2020). And they had peaked on 3-26- 2020 at 8,321 new cases that day (see charts on front page). But you have heard none of this.

Not one news story has revealed what is actually happening on the ground across the U.S.

It is going to be very difficult for the state to release its absolute authoritarian grip it holds over everyday ordinary working Americans.

There are still nine states with no lockdowns, and those are all states with Republican governors.

According to the government’s IHME Covid Tracking, projected need for hospital beds for April 5, 2020 were set at 179, 267 beds, but actual beds in use on that day 22,158. The projections were 800 % higher than the actual numbers. Same thing for ICU beds, projected at 33,176 while the actual number in use that day was 5,207.

The projections were 640% higher than needed. And ventilators projected at 26,544 were actually only 656 in use, a discrepancy between projected and actual of 40.5 times.

What the agencies who have reported the hospital counts have done since the decline is stopped reporting them altogether. Meanwhile the economic chaos left in the wake of the shutdowns continues unabated, in fact new restrictions mount daily.

It looks as though President Trump’s original target of returning to normalcy at Easter time wasn’t far off at all. And it looks like there may be a resurrection of the American way of life soon.

The data suggests we’ve turned the corner, and that also we’ve been played.

Trump’s “Churchill moment” will come as he unleashes the power and the courage of the American people and beats these globalists at their own game. And as Americans……we shall never, never, never.... give up!

Plant concert goes over like a Led Balloon!

Okay a few of you will have to indulge me this week with my stroll back down rock n’ roll lane. Last week we had tickets to a Robert Plant concert over in Bend at the Les Schwab Amphitheatre. The tickets were expensive, but we felt at the time, well worth it to see a legend from the early days of hard rock, the lead singer/front man for Led Zeppelin! Yeah I know for many of you, not your cup of tea, but bear with me the story will interest you.

It was a brisk October day in Bend, snow had fallen there just a week prior, but the skies were clear and as the sun set over the stadium it would reach a chilling 42 Fahrenheit. But all things considered I was in a good mood; following a nice drive up the McKenzie River highway, with fall colors bursting forth in the lush wooded corridor. We arrived in town, staying in the Old Mill District, had a magnificent dinner at Anthony’s (highly recommend this) and walked over the foot bridge to the amphitheater in perfect time to find our reserved seats and settle in for some great entertainment. Or so we thought.

In fact I had just remarked that the venue was so nice, very minimal security, unlike some of the concerts today with almost a lock-down mentality and waaay too much para-military feeling, searches, scans, etc. Not here though. So kudos to the Les Schwab Amphi-Theater folks! So there we were, the show about to begin, exchanging nice pleasantries with our neighbors seated next to us. Actually some very nice folks!

So after the opening act, the moment we had all been waiting for was getting near. The sun had gone down, and the down jackets were our sanctuary against the cold, as the stage lights came up, the crowd cheering in anticipation, roadies doing the last minute placements of equipment and mics, and then….the unthinkable happens!

Up on the giant fifty foot screen comes the ten times larger than life image and shrill voice of the new icon of climate change, Greta, from Sweden. The sixteen year old mentally unstable, psychotic prop from the Global Climate Show at the UN, assaulted us with her communist rant. As she points her finger at all the Zeppelin fans and sneers at us warning “change is coming whether you like it or not!”

The crowd responds, shouting turn that crap off! Yeah I helped, adding to a growing chorus of boooos! But it wasn’t all anti-Greta, several cheered for their climate comrade. Then it became a tense moment or two as the greedy capitalists who paid hundreds of dollars to watch this spectacle, began to yell at each other. So much for the nice chill…friendly mood of the pre-concert. Now we had a literal division of the house, or in this case the yard. People yelling back and forth at each other, as we all had to endure the babbling psychotic Swedish teenager. It is really sad that this disturbed teenager has been used as a prop to sell the false narrative of climate change.

But I will tell you this; I for one did not come to listen to this eco-BS propaganda! And how about this Robert Plant; you want to do something about CO2, Plant a tree! But don’t bring your FAKE science and fraudulent climate message to what you billed and marketed as a night of musical entertainment.

I might have expected this garbage at a Jackson Browne concert. But you crossed the line.

You committed fraud, just like the climate hucksters you’re pushing. Lots of people left the concert early, us included. We had these tickets for at least four months, and had looked forward to some great music. And on the subject of musical performance, Plant was very mediocre at best, his voice is gone, his new music is lackluster, and his performance dull. Maybe Keith Moon from the other British super-group The Who, was right when he first heard of the formation of the Plant, Page ensemble, stating this will go over like a lead balloon. Which actually inspired the name the band chose Led Zeppelin. And there was never a bigger Zeppelin fan over the years than yours truly…oh well…. times change.

Too bad these performers don’t stick to what got them their success in the first place. Oh, and how about a little respect for the greedy capitalists who support you with ticket and album purchases.

And how did you get her to America, which you sneered at? Did you row over in a canoe? No?

Private jet I imagine, like you boys used to fly around in all the time. So much for carbon sequestration! As far as I’m concerned Plant, you can stay on your side of the pond, sell your socialist dogma to your pals over there, but don’t bother coming back here.

I for one won’t be fooled again!
