Defeating censorship the old-fashioned way! Three Fantastic Events You Should Try to Attend in March

I will be speaking at all of them. Join me!

Feb 26

One of my medical doctor colleagues that I typically end up “touring” with on what many refer to as the “freedom” circuit, texted me a meme not long ago that I just love. Well, to be honest, I actually despise it because of what it symbolizes, which is the tremendous struggle we’ve had to endure the past three years to get our voices heard. But I love it because it completely embodies what life was like in 2020 for those of us who were speaking out from the moment the government said, “Lockdown! Just for 2 weeks to flatten the curve.” Whilst my doctor (MD and PhD), academic, and economist colleagues were trying to warn people about the negative medical, mental, and economic consequences of locking down perfectly healthy people throughout the world for months on end, personally, I was shouting from the rooftops peering through my legal lense saying, “The government cannot do this, folks! Wake up!” But nobody was listening to me back then. Nobody was listening to any of us. And we didn’t know one another at that point. Nor did we know how to find one another, or even if each other existed at all! The censorship was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

Once we finally found each other, we shared our eerily similar stories about how Big Tech was silencing each and every one of us. Facebook was sending us “warnings” for posting “misinformation” (whatever that means, because of course I challenged them constantly and asked who they thought they were to determine what was truth and what wasn’t - they responded to none of my challenges, since they clearly had no leg to stand on). Then there was their blatantly obvious shadowbanning us to the point where I’d post something and they’d only let 14 people see it. In the early days, I had a You Tube channel, but they tore down my videos within an hour or two of posting, and they threw me in You Tube jail so many times, I lost count. Some of my colleagues had tens of thousands of You Tube or Twitter followers, and then poof! one day they lost them all.

Despite the ever thickening wall of censorship, we kept on speaking out - trying to get the masses to hear logic. “No! The government cannot lock you down for months on end when you are perfectly healthy. It defies our laws, our Constitution, and basic logic.” Yet, we all were facing resistence that was truly unbelievable. Still do, to some extent. I personally kept hearing about how, “Jacobson allows the government to control us when there is a health emergency.” I heard a lot of Jacobson this and Jacobson that. My response? Put Jacobson to rest, people. It does not give the government (Trump’s, Biden’s or anyone else’s) the power to lock us down indefinitely. I stand by that still today. For anyone unaware of what “Jacobson” is, it was a 1905 US Supreme Court case called Jacobson v. Massachusetts, and it has been wildly twisted and distored beyond belief over the past three years of the COVID pandemic. I will try to write an article on that to explain further; I just need an extra 10 hours in each day.

Okay, so this is the meme that captures how we felt three years ago…

Defeating censorship the old-fashioned way!

So, I quickly realized social media was not going to be my friend. FB, You Tube, Instagram, Twitter… they were all controlled by the power lords. What was my other option to help people understand that what was going on was wrong?

Good old- fashioned conversations!

Because my law practice had, for 20 years, been based in real estate (property tax valuations and transactional deals), the CDC’s nationwide eviction moratorium (which began in spring of 2020 and lasted a year and a half), unleashed a flurry of panic (rightfully so) which resulted in my phones, email, and snail mail exploding with landlords (aka small business owners) desperately looking for help. They were going under fast, as the feds had effectively made it legal for tenants to not pay rent, not get evicted, and to abolish the private contracts they had with their tenants. This was not only unprecedented in our nation’s history, it was wholly unconstitutional. I was so overwhelmed with calls for help, I couldn’t help everyone individually, so I knew I had to help everyone collectively. Or at least I had to try.

And so, the power of personal communication, on a mass scale, took over. I began doing radio interviews, writing articles, and doing legal analysis for Real America’s Voice TV, (this was an interview I did on the illegal CDC eviction moratorium topic). For the past three years now, I have been criss crossing New York state, giving speeches to citizen groups, activists, grassroots organizations, political groups, and so on, teaching them about their rights, the Constitution, and helping them understand what is going on around them. That has now expanded to surrounding states and even states as far south as Florida. After any of my speeches, or webinars, or panel discussions, people sometimes thank me, call me “brave” for standing up and helping others make sense of what was going on, especially after I won my quarantine camp lawsuit against New York’s Governor and her DOH. I’d say, “Well I’m either really brave, or really stupid to do what I’m doing.” The jury is still out on that question, as I gave up a lot the past few years to speak out and to fight for our rights against tyranny. I also lost (read was alienated by) many of my colleagues in the legal field, and friends, some of whom were dear to me. Apparently, it’s part of the price you pay for speaking truth and helping those who don’t know how to find their way out of this mess alone.

Despite all that, I kept pushing onward. I was breaking through the censorship at a local level, and my colleagues around the country in their fields of academics, medicine, science and economics were doing the same. Little by little, like at a snail’s pace, we started to find one another, and now we speak out together at conferences, seminars, summits, webinars, and Twitter spaces. (Yes, I finally crept out of the dark ages a couple weeks ago and created a Twitter account after years of being hounded about it. I’m at @Attorney_Cox). After being so alone and alienated, I am very thankful for my colleagues who I “tour” with on the circuit, and I am proud to call them my friends, as well. Dr. Harvey Risch, Brownstone’s Jeffrey Tucker, Paul Alexander, PhD, Dr. Roger Hodkinson, Attorney Jeff Childers, Attorney Rachel Rodriguez, Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek, NTD News’ Cindy Drukier, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Richard Urso, Dr. Kat Lindley, Dr. John Littell, Attorney Tricia Lindsay, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Peter McCullough… all salt of the earth.

That meme is starting to flip, as there are more and more free speech platforms and alternative media sources. Yet, the censorship still exists today, and so we must keep pushing forward. We are in an information war. I think that is obvious. The mainstream media is no longer a reliable source of information. They only tell one side of the story. It’s not only pathetic, it’s dangerous, as Dr. Jay Bhattacharya explains in this recent interview on American Thought Leaders.

Adam Higginbotham | Midnight in Chernobyl — Midtown Scholar Bookstore-Cafe

He who controls the narrative, controls the people.

Just how dangerous can censorship be? Definitely check out Jay’s interview above, but I can tell you, from my own account, I grew up during the Cold War, near its end, and as a competitive figure skater (a sport in which the Soviets absolutely dominated for decades), I had a number of friends from the Soviet Union. I can remember the stories their parents and grandparents would tell us about living in the USSR before they were able to “defect” and escape to the USA. It seemed truly unbelievable to hear them talk about food shortages, bread lines, eating the same stale food for days in a row, sleeping in their coats because it was freezing outside and their apartment buildings didn’t have heat that worked. It wasn’t because they were so poor. It was because it was all government controlled. They explained how the radio only had a couple of stations, and those were government controlled, so all day and night, all they really heard was propaganda. The Soviet people didn’t know they were being fed lies. How could they? There was no “dissent” allowed to be spoken. There was only ever one side. And so, they believed it.

If you want to understand just how dangerous that can be, in addition to watching Jay’s interview above, I suggest reading the book, “Midnight in Chernobyl” by Adam Higginbotham. It is an absolutely fascinating read about the untold story of the cataclysmic Soviet nuclear power plant disaster that occurred in Chernobyl back in 1986, but the book is so much more than that. It gives you a phenomenal insight into how this utter catastrophe caused the Soviet government to lose control of its web of lies. After the devastating melt down of Reactor #4 at Chernobyl with all of the carnage and economic losses that it caused, the Soviet Union’s totalitarian censorship of information from its people was no longer sustainable. The Chernobyl disaster revealed to the Soviet people that their country was a state built upon a pillar of lies. Once the government lost its power to censor information from its people, the people regained their power! As a result, Chernobyl was a key event in the destruction of the Soviet Union.

How we can defeat censorship:

Turning to the “here and now”, the censorship that has been going on around us is simply stunning. Over the past couple of years, you would hear reports or see videos of heartbreaking forced quarantines going on in China, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries, yet the dystopian “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” regulation promulgated by New York’s Governor Hochul and her Department of Health has been flying under the radar from start to finish. We’ve seen the complete and utter refusal by the mainstream media to cover the ghastly regulation. One would think the story of a group of NYS legislators (Senator George Borello, Assemblyman Chris Tague, and Assemblyman [now Congressman] Mike Lawler) together with a citizens’ group, Uniting NYS, and backed by an Amicus Brief written by top-ranking NYS Assemblymen (Andy Goodell, Will Barclay and Joseph Giglio), suing and defeating the Governor of New York over her ferociously unconstitutional regulation, would be front page news. Nope. The mainstream media still won’t report on it! Not a peep about the inhumane regulation, or how we sued the Governor and won, or how she and her DOH are planning to appeal the case to try to get the power back so they can lock you up (or lock you down) for however long they want, at whatever location they want, without any proof that you actually have a disease.

So, here’s how we can beat the censorship:
