In an interview with Broken Truth's John Davidson and attorney Warner Mendenhall, Physician Assistant (PA) and author Scott Miller detailed his years-long struggle to retain his medical license after opposing COVID policies. Once a pediatric specialist in Washington State, Miller now appeals a license denial in Alaska.
From Pediatrics to Pandemic Advocacy
Miller, with a dental school background, practiced for 10 years in Vancouver, Washington, focusing on neurology, asthma, allergies, and developmental delays. As a PA, he diagnosed, prescribed, and managed patients independently.
When COVID struck in March 2020, Miller worried about lockdowns' harm to kids' mental health and therapies. He prescribed "park play" to encourage outdoor time and non-compliance with restrictions. He treated COVID at home with ivermectin, avoiding hospitals where ventilation often led to high mortality (80% early on) due to iatrogenic harm.
His public speeches at rallies and the state Capitol drew backlash.
Targeted and License Revoked
Miller was hit by over 100 complaints, many from non-patients via the "Shots Heard Round the World" group, funded by pharma lobbyists like BIO (Pfizer, Moderna). Accusations included misinformation, off-label ivermectin use, and obstructing investigations. One false claim: Undisclosed California felonies (wrong Scott Miller).
The Washington Medical Commission (WMC) suspended his license in 2021, requiring "re-education." Refusal led to permanent revocation in 2023. Expert Dr. Leslie Enzian called his speech "insidious danger." This echoed cases like Drs. Mary Bowden and Ryan Cole.
Free Speech and Medical Consensus Issues
Mendenhall likened it to "re-education camps," questioning First Amendment rights in medicine. Consensus deemed ivermectin "quackery," but FDA's 2024 settlement affirmed off-label use for COVID. Alaska's board in 2021 vowed not to target such practices, contrasting Washington's ongoing restrictions.
Remdesivir was pushed despite flawed trials; consensus on mRNA vaccines is now questioned, with estimates of 500,000-700,000 related deaths.
Alaska Appeal and Lessons
Denied an Alaska license in November 2024, Miller won a pro se appeal against summary judgment. His hearing featured diverse witnesses; outcome pending as of August 2025.
Miller's case lost his practice and forced relocation. He wrote The Most Dangerous Man in Washington and fundraises via GiveSendGo for fees.This highlights politicized medicine: Dissent silenced by boards and funded groups. Miller's fight may drive reform, prioritizing innovation over conformity.

In a today’s episode of Broken Truth, host John Davidson brings together a panel of experts to delve into the potential risks posed by mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to the global blood supply. Joined by attorney Warner Mendenhall, research scientist Kevin McKernan, and R. Clinton Ohlers, PhD, from Safeblood, the discussion uncovers alarming evidence of persistent spike protein production, residual DNA in vaccines, and the urgent need for screening and safe blood alternatives. Drawing from recent studies and personal testimonies, the panel highlights the frustrations of vaccine-injured individuals and calls for immediate action to protect public health.
The episode opens with Davidson setting the stage by playing clips that underscore the controversy. First, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. critiques the mRNA vaccine platform for its ineffectiveness against respiratory viruses and its potential to drive mutations (3:27). Kennedy argues that targeting a single antigen can paradoxically prolong pandemics through antigenic shift. Following this, nurse Michelle Utter shares her harrowing experience as a vaccine-injured individual, revealing she is still producing spike protein 1,629 days post-vaccination (4:38). Utter expresses deep frustration over the lack of medical acknowledgment and support, noting increased health issues, including new diagnoses requiring a "cancer protocol," and the denial of 98% of claims under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).
Davidson and Mendenhall express empathy for Utter's plight, emphasizing the broader implications. Mendenhall points to data from Ed Dowd showing approximately 3 million additional disabled individuals in the U.S., likely linked to the vaccines (7:03). He stresses the need for a societal response, as individual lawsuits are overwhelmed by the scale of injuries.
Kevin McKernan's Groundbreaking Research on Vaccine Contaminants
Kevin McKernan, a prominent researcher whose work on mRNA vaccines has garnered widespread attention, provides a detailed summary of his findings. McKernan explains how his team discovered residual DNA in mRNA vaccines years ago, a result replicated by about ten labs worldwide (8:05). This DNA persistence raises questions about why spike protein is detected in patients up to 1,800 days post-vaccination—far longer than typical proteins like keratin (8:37).McKernan reviews key literature: The Yale study found spike protein at 709 days; Patterson's lab detected it at 245 days in long-haul patients (9:32). On the nucleic acid side, studies show DNA/RNA in heart tissue (30 days), lymph nodes (60 days), plasma (28 days), breast milk (5 days), and placenta (10:04). Further analysis of public RNA sequencing data from vaccinated individuals reveals plasmid DNA in blood, slipping through purification processes (10:57).
A critical unanswered question is where this DNA resides—floating in plasma, inside cells, or integrated into the genome (12:01). McKernan hypothesizes it may create a continual reservoir of spike protein, contaminating the blood supply. He warns that without screening, recipients risk inheriting vaccine remnants, echoing the HIV blood crisis where testing was initially resisted (13:55).
When asked if spike protein from vaccines differs from the virus, McKernan confirms it does—two protein mutations make differentiation possible via mass spectrometry, though it's costlier than standard ELISAs (15:04). He notes the protein persists in monocytes, requiring specific blood sorting for detection (16:18).
Safeblood's Mission and the Push for Screening
R. Clinton Ohlers, representing Safeblood—a network connecting unvaccinated donors with recipients—highlights the complete absence of mRNA vaccine screening in blood banks. Despite evidence of vaccine components entering the bloodstream, banks in 2022 claimed otherwise (16:56). Ohlers advocates for on-site testing for informed consent and simple tracking of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated blood as a cost-free solution (17:33).
Ohlers shares anecdotes from nurses observing vaccinated blood coagulating faster, leading to rushed transfusions (19:56). He discusses apheresis (blood cleansing) as a potential treatment and praises McKernan's work on amyloidosis-linked clots (20:41). For emergencies, Ohlers suggests registries of unvaccinated universal donors (O-type blood) via apps like Uber (21:43).The panel addresses shedding concerns: McKernan cites anecdotal evidence and studies showing spike protein on exosomes in sweat and breath, potentially transmissible (25:46). However, he notes risks are likely exponentially lower than direct injection or transfusion (32:16). Ohlers adds that natural COVID infection produces far less persistent spike than vaccines (31:29).Legal and ethical issues surface, with Mendenhall referencing a lawsuit by nurse Michelle Stewart over a 5,000% spike in miscarriages at her hospital post-vaccine rollout (28:07). Ohlers notes increased restrictions on autologous (self-donated) and directed donations in states like Washington and Oregon, forcing patients to travel (37:46). The group suspects coordinated efforts by blood providers to suppress alternatives, possibly to protect their business model (41:29).
Pathways Forward: Testing, Litigation, and Policy Change
The experts propose solutions: Rapid spike protein and nucleic acid screening (13:42), legislation in 11 states to preserve donation rights (39:12), and litigation modeled on HIV cases (57:54). McKernan offers PCR primers to differentiate vaccine brands (48:02) and notes not all vaccinated blood may be contaminated—bad lots account for 78% of adverse events (51:22).
In a breaking development, Ohlers reveals a letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prioritizing blood supply safety, now third on a health freedom agenda (54:18). Collaborations with figures like Dr. James Thorpe aim to document transfusion injuries for case series (55:37).
The episode closes on a hopeful note, with McKernan emphasizing decentralized platforms for truth-sharing and a potential favorable administration (1:06:05). As Mendenhall urges, "They deserve a rapid response at a national level" (1:05:59).

In our previous coverage, "The Trials of Joby Weeks," published on BrokenTruth.TV, we delved into the protracted legal saga of Joby Weeks, a Colorado-based Bitcoin advocate entangled in the BitClub Network controversy. Weeks, who pleaded guilty in 2020 to tax evasion and conspiracy to sell unregistered securities, has maintained his innocence, asserting that BitClub was a legitimate Bitcoin mining cooperative rather than the $722 million Ponzi scheme alleged by prosecutors. The article highlighted claims of regulatory overreach, evidence suppression, asset seizures, and indefinite delays that have left Weeks under house arrest for nearly six years without a trial. An exclusive interview with Weeks underscored these grievances, painting a picture of a justice system weaponized against cryptocurrency innovators amid unclear regulations.
As a follow-up, on July 25, 2025—mere weeks after the publication of that piece—BrokenTruth.TV submitted a series of pointed questions to the Department of Justice (DOJ). These inquiries sought clarification on the status of Weeks' detention, the handling of the BitClub case, and broader implications for due process in cryptocurrency-related prosecutions. Despite an extension of time to allow a review, the DOJ has not responded, leaving these critical questions unanswered. This silence is particularly striking in light of recent shifts in DOJ policy, including the April 7, 2025, Blanche Memorandum, which signals a retreat from aggressive "regulation by prosecution" in the digital asset space.
Below, we outline the submitted questions, providing context drawn from public records, court documents, and ongoing developments in the case. These queries stem from allegations of systemic injustices, including coercive tactics and selective enforcement, that Weeks and his supporters claim have undermined his rights.
Unanswered Questions to the Department of Justice Submitted on July 25, 2025
1. What was the reason for subjecting Joby Weeks to frequent transfers between prisons—commonly referred to as "Diesel Therapy"—during 2020?
"Diesel Therapy" refers to the practice of repeatedly shuttling inmates between facilities, often under grueling conditions, which can disrupt legal preparations and exert psychological pressure. Court records indicate Weeks was detained pretrial in 2020 following his arrest in December 2019, but specifics on transfers remain opaque. Advocates argue this was punitive, especially given Weeks' non-violent charges related to promoting BitClub. No official explanation has been provided, fueling claims of intentional hardship to coerce a plea.
2. Does the Department of Justice plan to prosecute individuals solely for promoting a product, such as in cases involving cryptocurrency or investment opportunities?
Weeks' role in BitClub was primarily promotional—he was not an owner or manager, yet he faced charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and sell unregistered securities. DOJ filings describe him as a key promoter who solicited investments for mining pools. This raises concerns about First Amendment implications, as critics liken it to prosecuting endorsers without evidence of direct fraud. The Blanche Memorandum explicitly discourages prosecutions in areas of regulatory ambiguity, prioritizing "intentional fraud" over promotional activities.
3. How was the Department of Justice able to pursue the BitClub case, given claims that it did not involve U.S. currency and was restricted from accepting American investors?
BitClub operated from 2014 to 2019, mining significant cryptocurrencies like 92,000 Bitcoin and 650,000 Ethereum. Prosecutors alleged it defrauded investors of $722 million, but Weeks contends the network excluded U.S. participants and dealt solely in digital assets, not fiat currency. DOJ jurisdiction stemmed from wire fraud allegations involving U.S. wires, despite the international scope. Questions persist about extraterritorial reach, especially as no verified victims have sought restitution in court.
4. Was Joby Weeks targeted for prosecution due to his political views?
Weeks, a vocal libertarian and Bitcoin evangelist, has suggested his outspoken criticism of government overreach in finance made him a target. Public records show no direct evidence of political motivation, but the case's timing amid early crypto crackdowns invites scrutiny. Similar claims have arisen in other high-profile crypto cases, where defendants argue selective prosecution based on ideology rather than evidence.
5. How does the Department of Justice expect Joby Weeks to effectively pursue a pro se defense when he has reportedly been denied access to funds, cell phones, computers, and the internet?
Under house arrest since his 2020 plea, Weeks faces restrictions including asset freezes that have left him unable to afford counsel or access digital tools essential for a self-represented defense. This includes blockchain records that could exonerate him. Pretrial asset seizures, upheld in court, are criticized as violating Sixth Amendment rights, creating coercive conditions. Weeks' filings highlight over 33 continuances, with sentencing delayed multiple times—the latest to June 2, 2025, as of mid-2025 updates.
6. Mr. Weeks has claimed he was locked in a bathroom for 72 hours without release, which allegedly led to a coerced plea deal. Does the Department of Justice consider plea deals obtained under such circumstances to be valid?
Weeks alleges mistreatment during pretrial detention, including prolonged isolation that pressured him into pleading guilty despite maintaining innocence on fraud charges. DOJ policy requires voluntary pleas, but no investigation into these claims has been disclosed. If substantiated, this could invoke Brady violations for withholding exculpatory evidence, echoing broader critiques of plea bargaining in federal cases.
7. How many currently incarcerated U.S. prisoners (including those under house arrest or in prison) have filed claims alleging lack of due process or coerced pleas?
This question probes systemic issues, as Weeks' case is part of a pattern in crypto prosecutions. While exact figures are not publicly aggregated by the DOJ, prisoner rights groups estimate thousands of annual filings alleging due process violations. In Weeks' counterclaim filed in January 2025, he sought $22.2 billion from the DOJ for alleged overreach, highlighting withheld evidence like blockchain transactions and IRS forms.
8. Did the Department of Justice or any other federal entity continue operating the BitClub mining servers in 2019? If so, who received the cryptocurrency generated by these servers?
Following arrests in December 2019, questions arose about the fate of BitClub's mining operations. Weeks claims servers continued running, generating crypto valued at billions today, yet no accounting has been provided in court. If federal entities oversaw this, it could imply acknowledgment of legitimacy, contradicting Ponzi allegations. DOJ has not addressed asset disposition publicly.
9. Does the existence of these mining servers and the blockchain-verified currency they produced contradict the Department of Justice's claims that BitClub was a Ponzi scheme?
Blockchain records verify substantial mining output, suggesting participants profited rather than suffered losses typical of Ponzis. Prosecutors countered that promises of returns were fraudulent, but Weeks argues the verifiable value undermines the narrative. The lack of identified victims in restitution hearings bolsters this view, yet the DOJ maintains the scheme's fraudulent nature.
10. Is the Department of Justice currently considering dismissing the charges against Mr. Weeks, given that he was not an owner or manager of BitClub and in light of the Blanche memorandum released on April 7, 2025?
The Blanche Memorandum, issued by Deputy Attorney General Todd B…
In a compelling episode of the Broken Truth podcast, hosts Warner Mendenhall and John Davidson dive deep into the ongoing fight for medical freedom and personal rights. Recorded on August 4, 2025, this interview features Attorney Russ Barger and Dr. Patrice Quadrel, DDS, who share their harrowing experiences challenging COVID-19 vaccine mandates at Creighton University. What unfolds is a story of coercion, resilience, and the broader legal war against overreaching mandates that continue to impact students, professionals, and society at large.
The Mandate That Shattered Dreams
Dr. Quadrel, a recent dental school graduate, recounts her ordeal at Creighton University's dental program during the height of the COVID-19 era. As a student less than a year from graduation, she faced an ultimatum: comply with the university's vaccine mandate or be barred from campus. "I was basically banned from campus and not able to continue my education," Quadrel explains. "I ended up graduating a year later than I anticipated."
Creighton, a Jesuit institution, imposed strict mandates on students while offering limited exemptions—none for religious reasons initially, despite the school's Catholic roots. Quadrel highlights the irony: "The Pope himself said that you can't make this vaccine mandatory, but then Creighton went off and did their own thing." She was the only known student from Creighton's medical and dental schools to refuse the vaccine and stand her ground, ultimately paying a steep price: an extra $40,000 in tuition for a delayed semester and a year of lost income.
Other students weren't as fortunate. Quadrel describes classmates who reluctantly complied due to family pressures or fears of derailing their careers. One breastfeeding mother, hesitant about the vaccine's risks, felt she had no choice. "For her, the risk of not being able to finish her education on time was too great," Quadrel says. The mandate's timing was particularly punitive—announced just after the drop/add deadline, trapping students into paying full tuition without recourse.
The Legal Fight: Coercion, Deception, and FDA Sleight of Hand
Attorney Russ Barger, from Sullivan Law Firm in Nebraska, represents Quadrel and other students in a lawsuit against Creighton. He details how the university coerced students into agreements allowing them to continue classes only until the FDA "approved" the vaccines in fall 2021. But Barger argues this approval was illusory. "It was sort of this sleight of hand," he says. "The approved drug is not available for marketing in the U.S." Extensive searches revealed no Comirnaty or Spikevax—the purportedly approved versions—were actually available; only Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) shots were distributed.
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, negligence, and violations under Nebraska's Consumer Protection Act, emphasizing Creighton's medical expertise should have recognized the deception. Barger notes the university's hypocrisy: mandates applied only to students, not faculty or staff, and religious exemptions were absent despite Creighton's Catholic ethos. "People do not realize that students are probably the most abused class," Barger states. "They do not have the protections of Title VII."
The case, now before the Nebraska Supreme Court after a district judge's terse dismissal, seeks damages for lost tuition, delayed earnings, and emotional harm. Barger also mentions a parallel suit against Southeast Community College, where mandates persisted even after the federal emergency ended. "Whether that mandate was ever legal... and whether the mandate could still be legal" remains in question, he adds.
Attorney and Host Mendenhall, contextualize the struggle. Mendenhall laments the slow grind of justice: "It just takes years to go through the entire process." He references the infamous Jacobson v. Massachusetts case (1905), which upheld smallpox vaccine mandates and has been cited to justify COVID measures. A recent Ninth Circuit reversal reaffirming Jacobson's applicability is "very unfortunate," Mendenhall warns, as it allows governments broad leeway on health interventions.
Personal Resilience and Broader Implications
Quadrel's story is one of faith and fortitude. "100% time has validated my feelings," she says, reflecting on vaccine injuries among peers and the mandates' fallout. Supported by her husband, family, and a "miracle" connection to Barger via a local gym, she credits her Christian faith: "God really handed me them right when I needed them." Now practicing dentistry, Quadrel remains cautious about discussing the case at work but vows to advise future students.
The discussion touches on systemic issues: the erosion of independent medical and legal practices, the exploitation of students as "commodities," and ties between institutions like Creighton and entities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Mendenhall highlights Freedom Council (freedomcouncil.org), a network of nearly 300 attorneys aiding those facing mandates, including ongoing flu vaccine fights in the military and hospitals.
A Historical Echo: The Legacy of Hydroxychloroquine
The episode closes with Davidson's historical segment from “Epidemic of Fraud” on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), tracing its roots from Jesuit's bark (cinchona) to its role in wars like the American Revolution, Civil War, and World Wars. HCQ's restriction has been a warfare tactic for centuries, Davidson argues, drawing parallels to COVID-era suppression of early treatments. "For centuries now, the restriction of access to hydroxychloroquine... has been a standard tactic of warfare," he notes.
The Fight Continues
This interview underscores that the battle for bodily autonomy isn't over. As Barger urges, "Keep your pressure on your elected officials... Congress has essentially done nothing." Quadrel echoes: "Don't have fear and just keep your faith."

In a riveting episode of BrokenTruth.TV, host John Davidson brought together a powerhouse panel to dissect the lingering impacts of COVID-19 policies, vaccine mandates, and the fight for accountability. Featuring attorney Jennifer Kennedy, Esq., whistleblower Brook Jackson, and attorney Warner Mendenhall, the discussion delved into personal stories of activism, landmark legal cases, and systemic failures in public health and justice. Aired amid ongoing debates about medical freedom, the podcast highlighted how the pandemic "activated" ordinary citizens into fierce advocates, exposing cracks in institutions from schools to the Department of Defense (DOD).
From Mom to Mandate Litigator: Jennifer Kennedy's Journey
Jennifer Kennedy, a civil litigator and mother of three, opened the episode by recounting her transformation from a part-time attorney to a frontline warrior in health freedom battles. Her awakening began in 2015 when California's SB 277 eliminated personal belief exemptions for childhood vaccinations, forcing her to confront the loss of parental rights. "Overnight, I became a health freedom activist," Kennedy shared, describing how she delved into vaccine education and discovered the realities of injuries and deaths—issues she insists are "real and not rare."
The COVID-19 era amplified her efforts. Kennedy jumped into litigation against Los Angeles Unified School District's (LAUSD) mandates, which she argued illegally targeted children with experimental shots to access education. Partnering with fellow attorney Nicole Pearson, she challenged the district's authority, emphasizing that only the state—not individual schools—can set vaccination requirements for entry. Despite initial judicial indifference, a 2022 ruling declared LAUSD's mandate illegal, vindicating their fight after months of excluded students.
Kennedy also spotlighted her appellate work in Peterson v. Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue, representing eight Washington firefighters denied religious accommodations. Placed on indefinite unpaid suspension despite working safely through the pandemic, the firefighters faced arbitrary treatment—highlighted by one plaintiff investigating fires alongside his former colleagues while employed elsewhere. Kennedy, new to appeals, stepped in when no one else would, arguing religious discrimination and irrational policies. Her Ninth Circuit argument, prepped with mock sessions, marked a milestone in her career.
Throughout, Kennedy criticized opposing counsel's tactics and judicial biases, noting how LAUSD's lawyers taunted opponents after arguments, only to drop mandates under pressure. She connected these to broader cases like Health Freedom Defense Fund v. Carvalho, where the Ninth Circuit revived a challenge by classifying COVID shots as "medical treatments" rather than traditional vaccines, warranting strict scrutiny over rational basis review.
Brook Jackson: The Whistleblower's Ordeal and DOD Involvement is Proof of a Biological Attack
Mid-episode, Pfizer whistleblower Brook Jackson joined, sharing her harrowing experience as a clinical trial manager at Ventavia Research Group, a subcontractor in Pfizer's COVID vaccine trials. Hired in September 2020, Jackson witnessed data falsification, protocol violations, and unblinding—issues she reported to the FDA, only to be fired hours later. Her 2021 False Claims Act lawsuit alleged fraud in trials funded by taxpayer dollars, demanding a "refund" for Americans if approvals rested on tainted data.
"This was a Department of Defense project," Mendenhall emphasized, questioning the narrative of natural origins and calling for transparency on the "attack's" source.
Jackson expressed disillusionment with the judicial system, noting delays and the DOJ's motion to dismiss her case as "contrary to public health policy." Now on appeal in the Fifth Circuit, the case underscores DOD involvement, framing the vaccines as "countermeasures" to a biological attack rather than standard public health tools. "This was a Department of Defense project," Mendenhall emphasized, questioning the narrative of natural origins and calling for transparency on the "attack's" source. Davidson clarified that the DOD's involvement in Brook's case confirmed that the US government's position is that it was under a biological attack, shifting the debate away from natural origins to deliberate threats.
…Brook's case confirmed that the US government's position is that it was under a biological attack…
Personally, Jackson described the toll: isolation, financial strain, and emotional exhaustion. Yet, encounters with vaccine-injured individuals renew her resolve. "I've broken the cycle for my kids," she said, highlighting lifestyle changes like home gardening and vaccine exemptions. She urged continued dialogue, rejecting mainstream media silence and prioritizing independent outlets.
Systemic Failures: Judicial Indifference, Media Hijacking, and Calls for Accountability
The panel critiqued the judiciary's role, with Kennedy recounting judges' dismissiveness toward child exclusions and Mendenhall decrying unchanged DOJ stances under new administrations. They discussed how mandates violated Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) laws requiring voluntary participation, labeling penalties as fraud against the government.
Broader themes emerged: money-driven denial of vaccine injuries, media capture by pharma advertisers, and DOD's "war-like" mindset accepting casualties for readiness against biothreats. Davidson pondered if COVID exposed a "soggy log" of corruption, while the group lamented unaddressed injuries—three million disabled per labor stats—and called for research clinics, compensation programs, and asset seizures from perpetrators.
A chilling close: the American Academy of Pediatrics' push to eliminate non-medical exemptions, signaling renewed threats to parental rights amid awakening post-COVID awareness.
A Call to Action in the Ongoing Battle
This BrokenTruth.TV episode wasn't just a recap of past grievances—it's a rallying cry. Kennedy, Mendenhall, and Jackson embody resilience, urging public scrutiny of clinical trials, mandates, and DOD powers. As cases like Jackson's appeal loom, the fight for truth, justice, and medical freedom persists. For those affected, resources abound through groups like Health Freedom Defense Fund. In Kennedy's words: "This battle is still going on." Listeners are encouraged to engage, question, and support independent voices breaking the silence.

A Powerful Voice at Thrive in 25On June 28, 2025, at the Thrive in 25 event in Florida, Katie Positney delivered a powerful speech detailing her family's ongoing battle to save their Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, British Columbia, from a government-ordered cull. Introduced by John Davidson of BrokenTruth.TV—an organization that has extensively covered the ostrich farm saga for several months—Positney highlighted the threats posed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to farmers, natural immunity research, and agricultural freedom.
Introduction by John DavidsonDavidson, a former Hollywood executive turned advocate, set the stage by sharing his own journey from a "version of Don Draper from Mad Men" to fighting against perceived injustices, including through platforms like epidemicoffraud.com and brokentruth.tv. He praised Positney's polite yet determined protest style, noting, "She epitomizes the perfect way to protest government activity politely. She's so Canadian and she, she's brought together a huge crowd of people to fight this."
Katie Positney's Roots and the Farm's LegacyPositney, daughter of co-owner Karen Espersen and a lifelong animal advocate, took the stage barefoot, emphasizing her connection to the land: "If anybody knows me, my happiest place is with my feet on the ground, at the farm and around animals. And I think it's just very grounding." She described the farm's history, raising over 400 ostriches—some over 35 years old—amid challenges like processing plant shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. This led to a pivot toward innovative antibody research in collaboration with Japanese scientist Dr. Tsukamoto, exploring the ostriches' natural immune systems.
The Crisis UnfoldsThe crisis began in December 2024, when 69 ostriches died from what Positney suspected was a bacterial infection, similar to one in 2020. "When the first 10 fell ill, we suspected a bacterial infection, likely pseudonymous, based on similar symptoms we had saw in 2020," she explained. The family treated the birds responsibly, but an anonymous tip brought CFIA agents to the farm. They conducted PCR tests on two carcasses and swiftly issued a cull order for the entire flock, set for February 1, 2025. Positney refused, stating, "We were ordered to destroy all of our birds on February 1st by our own hands, and we absolutely denied that request."
Government Overreach and Quarantine ChallengesUnder quarantine, the family faces severe restrictions: "No treatment or testing is allowed on our own property without being threatened six months in jail. And a $200,000 fine." Positney questioned the CFIA's authority, asking, "Did you know that Canadian Food Inspection Agency doesn't even need a test? They can come onto our property based off suspicion and eradicate and kill all of our animals on any of our properties." She argued this overreach erodes trust in agriculture: "We are eroding the trust in our agricultural industry with the very organizations that should be protecting us."
Legal Battles and Temporary ReprievesLegal battles ensued, with a judicial review pausing the cull temporarily. However, on May 13, 2025, the court ruled against them, as the judge stated his "hands were tied" from ruling on the CFIA's decision. An emergency stay was granted on June 20, 2025, thanks to public support from figures like Andy Sabin and John Catsimatidis. Positney noted, "In just a few weeks, we will be going to Ottawa for our appeal, but the clock is ticking."
The Ostriches as Family and Scientific AssetThe speech underscored the ostriches' value beyond livestock: "These ostriches aren't just livestock, they're family." Their natural recovery from illness demonstrates immunity that could advance therapeutics without vaccines, potentially threatening pharmaceutical interests. "The bird flu and the ostriches created antibodies that could be used to survive, heal us from the bird flu without having a vaccine," Davidson had introduced earlier. Positney warned of broader implications: "We either protect the producers or we become the product. We either stand with the land or we get swept into lab-grown policy-controlled nightmares."
Drawing Parallels to COVID-19She drew parallels to COVID-19 era hero-to-villain shifts: "They came after our truckers that were the heroes through COVID, that came after frontline workers through COVID. Everybody was heroes and then very quickly villainized for not taking the COVID-19 vaccine. They're now coming after our agricultural industry."Celebrating Survival and HopePositney celebrated the birds' current vitality: "And today our birds are still alive. 165 days alive. Really alive. Dancing and they're bathing in their sand. They're in the sunshine laying dozens of antibody-rich eggs that no one can use as they're all under quarantine." She called for global solidarity: "Farmers like us are not fringe. We are the front line. Universal Ostrid Farm isn't backing down. We're fighting for every chicken farmer, every cattle rancher, every beekeeper and every family homestead that's next in line."
A Legacy for Future GenerationsThe fight extends to protecting future generations, inspired by a young attendee: "I met a little girl yesterday. She was here. Her name was Elia... And in that moment, I was reminded again that this fight isn't just about today. It's about her future. It's about our kids' future. It's about their kids' future. We protect life. We don't destroy it."
Recent Developments in the AppealRecent developments, as outlined in an open letter to the Federal Court of Appeal published on Unlock Alberta's Substack, reveal the case (Universal Ostrich Farms Inc. v. CFIA) is under appeal, challenging the lower court's decision over conflicts of interest and abandoned arguments. No bird flu cases have been reported since January 2025, yet the cull order persists based on two PCR tests from decomposing carcasses, with no further testing or necropsies. The letter argues CFIA actions violate the Canadian Bill of Rights, lacking due process, and urges the court to prioritize scientific evidence over policy. The farm remains in limbo, with the appeal pending in Ottawa.
Call to ActionPositney urged action: "You can follow our journey, saveourostridges.com. Join our fight by sharing, praying, and supporting your local communities so that this is not happening in your agricultural industries." Her message resonated: "In closing, we are not just defending ostriches. We're protecting a future where science, compassion, and courage lead the way... God is good, and the world deserves better."As governments worldwide push stamping-out policies, Universal Ostrich Farm's stand could set a precedent for natural immunity and farmer rights. With BrokenTruth.TV's ongoing coverage, this story continues to unfold, spotlighting the tension between bureaucracy and innovation.

West Palm Beach, Florida – July 21, 2025 – At the Thrive in 25 event on June 28, 2025, in West Palm Beach, Florida, Todd Callender, CEO of CloutHub.com and an international attorney, along with Lisa McGee of Disabled Rights Advocates, presented their views on public health challenges, vaccine policies, and emerging technologies. The discussion highlighted themes of resilience and community in the face of ongoing debates. The full video of their talk is available on BrokenTruth.TV.
Introduced by Jeremiah Hosea, who noted that "truth is never a waste of time," Callender and McGee addressed an engaged audience. Callender, founder of Project Archimedes focused on 5G concerns and host of the Truth Be Told podcast, reflected on the past five years. "We're still here," he said, recognizing the shared experiences of those present.
Callender discussed efforts to challenge mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations through legal action against the Department of Defense, crediting military personnel for their roles. He drew a parallel to the Civil War's Battle of Little Round Top, where Colonel Chamberlain's regiment was ordered to "hold the line" despite low ammunition, ultimately succeeding by fixing bayonets and charging. "We are here, all of you, held the line," Callender stated, thanking attendees for their perseverance.
Introducing McGee, Callender praised her contributions. McGee, a former teacher who left her job over vaccine requirements, now works with groups like Vax Choice. She shared her research into vaccine patents, describing patterns involving synthetic biology and digital elements. "We are all electrical beings," McGee explained, suggesting that human energy systems could be affected by certain technologies.
McGee discussed concepts like "wireless body area networks" and the potential for data collection through pharmaceuticals and wearables. She referenced connections between health agencies, corporations like IBM and Palantir, and departments such as Energy and Homeland Security, expressing concerns about consent and data usage. "We did not consent," she emphasized.
Callender framed the talk as part of a broader conversation, noting, "The attack is not over... We're going on the offensive." The presentation underscored collaboration among professionals and a call for awareness.This session at Thrive in 25 offered perspectives on health, technology, and personal rights.

In a riveting episode of BrokenTruth.TV's podcast, host John Davidson sits down with Attorney Warner Mendenhall of Mendenhall Law and Freedom Counsel, and Attorney Brad Geyer, founder of FormerFeds and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) for the Department of Justice. The discussion, aired on July 21, 2025, delves into pressing issues of government overreach, election security, intelligence weaponization, and the controversial prosecutions in the cryptocurrency space. With a casual yet insightful tone—reminiscent of barroom chats among freedom fighters—the trio highlights unsung heroes fighting mandates, fraud, and systemic abuses. Drawing from their legal expertise, they critique past administrations, advocate for reforms, and spotlight cases like that of Bitcoin promoter Joby Weeks, who endured years of alleged injustice without trial.
The podcast emphasizes the need for transparency, bipartisanship, and a return to core American values like due process and financial freedom. It also touches on emerging technologies like AI and cryptocurrency legislation, warning of potential control grids while expressing cautious optimism under new leadership. Below is a chapter breakdown with timecodes for key topics, followed by a detailed summary.

Tulsi Gabbard's Disclosure and Election IntegrityA major segment analyzes Tulsi Gabbard's recent disclosure as DNI, revealing how intelligence agencies under the Obama administration allegedly weaponized media and interfered in elections. Geyer notes that while much was known since 2016, the high-level receipts elevate the matter, potentially requiring a special prosecutor. Mendenhall ties this to longstanding concerns over "black box" voting machines, advocating for hand-counted paper ballots to restore trust. Both guests criticize CISA's role in cybersecurity, calling for its shutdown, and emphasize bipartisan agreement on election reforms like indelible ink marking, as used in Iraq.
DOJ Reforms and Fraud EnforcementThe conversation shifts to DOJ internals, with Geyer recounting Obama-era antitrust cutbacks that sidelined experienced prosecutors, leading to unchecked procurement and grant fraud. Mendenhall shares frustrations from False Claims Act cases, where delays allow fraudsters to continue profiting. They express optimism about recent collaborations under new leadership, citing interventions in SBA fraud and a potential reboot of enforcement programs.
The Joby Weeks Case: A Symbol of OverreachA highlight is the deep dive into Joby Weeks' ordeal, introduced via a five-minute video summary produced by Davidson. Weeks, a Bitcoin evangelist and hardware vendor for BitClub Network, amassed significant wealth but faced arrest in 2019 without U.S. jurisdiction. Accused of promoting a Ponzi scheme—despite evidence of actual mining (over 92,000 Bitcoins and 500,000 Ethereum)—he endured 11 months in prison during COVID, alleged torture, asset seizure worth half a billion dollars, and over five years of house arrest without internet access. Geyer labels it a "perfect storm" of unclear regulations, comparing it to cases like Roger Ver and Ross Ulbricht, arguing for pardons as crypto laws evolve.See the Joby Weeks interview here.
Cryptocurrency, Privacy, and New LegislationExpanding on crypto injustices, the guests discuss government seizures, like the Himalaya Exchange's $630 million reserve, and selective enforcement against innovators. Mendenhall warns of a "control grid" eroding financial freedom, balancing illicit uses against privacy needs. Geyer outlines three new laws: the GENIUS Act (blockchain task force), Digital Asset Fairness Act (due process in enforcement), and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act (government Bitcoin purchases). They advocate rewinding flawed prosecutions and highlight privacy coins for humanitarian purposes.
IRS Reform, AI, and Broader ReformsProposing radical changes, Mendenhall suggests an automated transaction tax to replace the IRS, retiring national debt while reducing volatility in high-speed trading. Discussions on AI's role in law and creativity note its potential to empower individuals but warn of job disruptions and the need for human oversight in areas like voting. The episode closes with calls for transparency across scandals, from January 6 to Amish farmer targeting, urging DOJ to drop cases like Weeks' to focus on real threats.This episode exemplifies BrokenTruth.TV's commitment to exposing injustices, blending legal analysis with calls for action.

Joby Weeks, an early Bitcoin advocate and promoter from Colorado, became involved with BitClub Network (BCN), a Bitcoin mining cooperative active from 2014 to 2019. Prosecutors labeled it a $722 million Ponzi scheme, charging him with fraud-related offenses.
Weeks, who neither owned nor managed BCN, pleaded guilty in 2020 to tax evasion and conspiracy to sell unregistered securities. However, his sentencing has faced ongoing delays—the latest rescheduled for June 2, 2025, following earlier dates in March and February 2025, with no resolution as of July 16, 2025. He maintains his innocence in the broader scheme, emphasizing BCN's legitimate mining that generated billions in value.
Watch the follow up discussion about Joby’s case here with Attorneys Brad Geyer and Warner Mendenhall.
Below are key problems with the case, explained clearly to highlight just a few of the potential injustices directed against Joby by the over .
Limited Role OverlookedWeeks held no ownership, equity, or managerial authority in BCN; his involvement was strictly promotional, akin to endorsing a product. Despite this, he faced broad conspiracy charges treating him as equally culpable as founders. In contrast, similar high-profile crypto projects like Ripple (raising $1.3 billion) or Ethereum resulted in civil settlements or no charges for promoters, raising questions about inconsistent prosecutorial discretion.
Regulatory Ambiguity at the TimeDuring BCN's operations (2014-2017), federal guidelines on cryptocurrency mining pools were fragmented and unclear—no comprehensive rules classified such activities as securities requiring registration. Charging Weeks retroactively violates principles of fair notice and due process, as agencies like the SEC only clarified token-related securities in 2017's DAO Report, well after BCN began.
Evidence Withholding (Discovery Violations)The government failed to disclose critical materials, including blockchain transaction records, IRS tax forms (e.g., 1099-B and 4684), and internal memos. This breached constitutional obligations under Brady v. Maryland and Giglio, preventing a fully informed defense and plea decision.
Pretrial Asset Freezes Undermining DefenseAssets, including Bitcoin and funds, were seized pretrial without proving they were tainted by crime, leaving Weeks unable to afford lawyers or experts. This financial pressure compromised his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and created coercive conditions for his guilty plea, a tactic criticized in similar cases for turning enforcement into punishment before conviction.
Prolonged Delays and Lack of VictimsWeeks has endured nearly six years under house arrest with an ankle monitor, restrictions on travel, employment, and daily life (e.g., no phone/computer, mandatory drug tests unrelated to charges), and over 33 continuances without a trial. No verified victims have emerged seeking restitution; BCN mined 92,000 Bitcoin and 650,000 Ethereum (valued at $10 billion today), suggesting participants profited rather than lost.
Outdated Policies Now RejectedThe 2025 DOJ Blanche Memo explicitly shifts away from "regulation by prosecution," discouraging charges in unclear regulatory areas and focusing on intentional fraud. It disbanded the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and aligns with Trump-era pardons (e.g., BitMEX founders). Weeks' case reflects the pre-2025 aggressive approach, warranting review under new guidelines for consistency and fairness.
Selective and Unequal EnforcementWhile massive scams like OneCoin or BitConnect targeted central figures, BCN swept in peripheral players like Weeks. Global regulators (e.g., EU's MiCA framework) prioritize clarity and civil resolutions over criminalization for similar activities, making U.S. handling appear disproportionately harsh and anomalous. This pattern extends to other refusals by the DOJ and IRS to investigate high-profile entities; for instance, in May 2024, whistleblower William Scott filed IRS Form 211 in Miami, Florida, seeking to revoke the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's non-profit status over alleged for-profit vaccine investments and conflicts of interest (e.g., influencing COVID-19 hydroxychloroquine trials for potential bias). The IRS denied the claim without action, and a federal court dismissed Scott's lawsuit in January 2025, citing lack of jurisdiction—highlighting perceived selective scrutiny where powerful foundations evade investigation while individuals like Weeks face prolonged pursuit.
This situation underscores broader flaws in early crypto enforcement, where innovation faced punitive measures without solid legal footing. Weeks seeks vindication, asset return, and family focus, and his ongoing efforts—including a January 2025 counterclaim alleging overreach and a push for presidential pardon—aim to highlight these issues. Sharing his story or contacting policymakers could push for reforms, ensuring fairer treatment in emerging tech cases.

On July 17, 2025, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo hosted a press conference in Tallahassee to discuss the federal government's recent decision to stop recommending mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children. Joined by Dr. Pierre Kory, a critical care physician, and Dr. Joel Wallskog, co-chair of REACT-19, a group supporting vaccine-injured individuals, the event highlighted concerns over vaccine safety, injuries, and the need for better federal support. The speakers praised Florida's early stance against the vaccines and called for expanded research into long-term effects.

Dr. Ladapo opened by recalling his interactions with vaccine-injured patients and criticizing the rapid development and rollout of mRNA vaccines. He noted that Florida advised against vaccinating healthy children three years ago, a position now echoed federally under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He emphasized that the vaccines are "not fit for human use" and shared anecdotes of widespread adverse reactions. Ladapo absolved former President Donald Trump of blame, instead pointing to experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci and physicians who ignored injuries. He urged the NIH to include vaccine-injured people in long COVID research and fund clinical networks for treatment.
Dr. Kory, who specializes in treating vaccine-injured and long COVID patients, described Florida as a leader in transparent COVID science. He detailed his private practice experience, where 70% of patients attribute symptoms to vaccines rather than infection. He characterized "long vax" as similar to chronic fatigue syndrome, with symptoms like fatigue, cognitive issues, and neuropathies. Kory highlighted the personal and financial toll on patients and echoed Ladapo's call for federal research funding.
Dr. Wallskog shared his personal story of developing transverse myelitis after a Moderna shot, leading to his retirement from orthopedic surgery. As co-chair of REACT-19, representing nearly 40,000 injured Americans, he criticized the rushed authorization of vaccines for children and pregnant women without long-term data. He cited issues with clinical trials, like the case of Maddie de Garay, and flawed reporting systems like VAERS. Wallskog welcomed the federal change but stressed the need for acknowledgment, care, and compensation for those already harmed.
In the Q&A, Ladapo stated Pfizer vaccines show worse outcomes than Moderna in areas like clotting and neurological effects. He expressed concern over persistent high antibody levels in vaccinated individuals and advocated removing all qualifiers from federal guidelines, making the non-recommendation universal. He noted alternatives like monoclonal antibodies and treatments such as Paxlovid. Ladapo expressed confidence in future improvements through continued advocacy.
The press conference underscores ongoing debates over vaccine safety and the push for accountability. Florida continues to position itself as a critic of federal COVID policies, aligning with public skepticism.
