A BIG WIN FOR OUR SIDE

and an historic moment in the fight for free speech

Jay Bhattacharya and the other plaintiffs who were censored and de-platformed for speaking honestly about the harms of lockdowns and vaccines won a major victory today in the case noted above. Below is the list of organizations who are injuncted from ordering Big Tech to censor people these government agencies don’t like - or whose message is a threat to the official government narrative. We can breathe easier a little today. This was hard fought and hard won, including taking a deposition from Fauci. Jenin Younes who has appeared on the podcast was on the legal team. Hooray!!!!
