High summer in Australia is almost over, but our fight to restore sanity continues in top gear, helped by the continuing recession of the covid-era “fog of war” from the Australian mind, and enlivened by the momentous change-making actions being taken daily by the team assembled by the new president of our most powerful ally overseas.
Our biggest news is that the videos of our fantastic November 2024 Progress through Science and Freedom conference sessions are now available for viewing here on our Youtube channel.
Please share these liberally with your friends and family. A massive thanks to one of our new directors, Jason Strecker, for the hours of time and energy he put into preparing these videos.
ASF’s submission to the Australian parliamentary committee considering the WHO IHR amendments, called the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties, was published on the Parliamentary website as submission #194 (you can look up and freely download the full text here), though we only found out about this through a friend. We have not received the conventional formal email from Parliament notifying us that we can now re-publish our submission elsewhere. One hopes that perhaps the committee was overwhelmed with submissions and is feeling a bit frazzled…?
On Friday 28 February, ASF’s directors will meet for our first one-day strategic leadership retreat, whose primary goal is to set priorities for ASF’s actions and objectives in 2025. We will be sifting through the various terrific ideas generated with our community at our conferences and through other communications over the past several months, and weighing up which targets are achievable and most closely aligned with ASF’s mission. Next month’s newsletter will report on the outcomes, and how you can get involved in our initiatives this year.
In other Australian news, the David Declaration is live and taking signatures; a new Integrity and Accountability Foundation bent on holding Australian power-holders to account has gone live; you can find out whether Australia’s e-safety commissioner has censored you via this cool new webform, compliments of the Free Speech Union; the Aligned Council of Australia (of which ASF is a member organisation) continues to campaign for Australia to exit the WHO; and AMPS is putting on a conference in early May focussed on all that AHPRA has done wrong. While mainstream Australian news has been carrying the occasional story about the damage done by the covid jabs (at least when a big-name university is associated with that news), Julian Gillespie has been sending information about the jabs across the Pacific to the United States DOGE (Elon Musk) and Robert F Kennedy, Jr., newly confirmed head in that country of Health and Human Services (and you too can add your thoughts about the jabs on this petition to the US FDA, compliments of Australian law firm P J O’Brien & Associates).
In his new role, Kennedy will lead the planned “Make America Healthy Again” project, together with a MAHA committee established by executive order. In line with this move, the US announced its exit from the WHO on Day 1 of President Trump’s second administration, as reported in the previous edition of this newsletter, and now Argentina has followed suit. Another of Trump’s executive orders in this line has banned covid jab mandates in schools, and some states have begun following this lead by banning jab mandates within their borders (see, for example, Idaho’s attempt here). Jay Bhattacharya, who toured Australia a few years ago, was one of the three founders of the Great Barrington Declaration. He has been nominated by President Trump to lead the US National Institutes of Health, and has also put his energy towards the Hope Accord calling for the suspension of the jabs, which you can sign to show your support. The UK mainstream media has even seen fit to publicise this, perhaps only because it sounds so shocking to the mainstream ear.
After Germany’s recent election, the German political class may have to start learning again how to talk and work with each other even when they don’t entirely agree about everything (what a monumental challenge, according to the modern zeitgeist!).
In the world of scientific work and publications, this new paper presents the results of a study by James Nuzzo, featured in a prior ASF Monthly Members’ Forum, documenting sex differences in strength from birth in human populations. Research continues to shine light onto the heretofore behind-closed-doors machinations that catapulted countries around the world into the covid era. This month has also brought yet more evidence on the dangers of the covid shots (here, here, here, and here), and caution about the (in)efficacy of “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (like lockdowns) that were embraced with such cost-blind eagerness in the face of covid (see here). The Global Health Project also released a big study that was conducted years ago but not disseminated at that time due to political pressure, examining the effects of covid vaccination in the US. Another study has found that Vitamin D can help you avoid and/or recover from post-jab cardiac side effects. The fight to restore actual science to the “scientific” professions continues, and this new journal will surely help.
Finally, this copiously researched new Australian documentary film, Witness Statement, details the government’s sins during the Covid period. Why not arrange a showing in your community? It’s surely a better conversation starter than idle speculation about when the next election will be called…
Until next month, we wish you and yours energy, hope, and determination.
