Hermann Göring, during the #NurembergTrials, explains "protective custody" in the Third Reich: "People were arrested and taken into protective custody, who had not yet committed any crime, but who could be expected to do so if they remained free." More in the link below: bsky.app/profile/drja...

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

This can't be lost in the shuffle!

This is Democracy’s only hope. Once we start allowing such ruling, we live in a dictatorship.

We are now living in a dangerous type of country where malicious bureaucrats think they can blithely ignore judges' rulings. They need to be held in contempt and arrested, not scolded.
