D4CE 5th Symposium

Journalist Taylor Hudak MA opened the symposium by noting that as we approach the end of 2022, “it is clear that we are at a critical point in our fight for freedom, bodily autonomy and human rights.”
Doctors for Covid Ethics’ documentation of evidence that mRNA vaccines are causing vascular and organ damage has gone viral, she said, “which demonstrates the manifest shift in the public discourse” underway. It is a shift that inspired the motto for this our fifth symposium: In the Midst of Darkness Light Prevails.

Prof Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, started Session I with a call for physicians and medical scientists worldwide to "go back to your textbooks and recall what we all should know" and concluded by urging doctors and scientists to "open your textbooks and go back and see whether what we have been saying has not been before your eyes for decades."
20:00, Dr. Michael Palmer MD followed Sucharit Bhakdi's presentation by summarising the body of evidence from autopsies and biodstribution studies, which supports the mechanisms described by Dr. Bhakdi. In short, the evidence that the injected mRNA product inflicts grave damage all around the body over extended periods is manifest. Dr. Palmer stressed that such vaccine damage is not rare.
33:00, Dr. Brian Hooker, Ph.D., PE, presented data on the incidence of various disorders associated with COVID vaccines. He placed those data in the context of "the grand experiment" which is global mRNA vaccination. He noted that official clinical trials are still ongoing, some until 2026. "The population should have been warned much, much earlier," he stressed.
49:00, Dr. Meryl Nass, MD, ABIM, led a panel discussion with all speakers from Session I. Dr. Bhakdi concluded with the "ray of hope" that the companies responsible for the fraud perpetrated on populations and taxpayers have provided documentary evidence of their fraudulent conduct, paving the way for legal action.

Ray L. Flores II Esq, Senior Attorney at Children’s Health Defense, introduced the session by assuring the audience that “This is a very positive time.” He expressed his confidence that, although there is still a battle ahead, “we will ultimately prevail.”
3:00, Attorney Philipp Kruse LL.M. outlined a 300-page criminal complaint that he is currently spearheading against Swissmedic, the supreme supervisory and licensing authority in Switzerland.
The documentation is available at https://coronacomplaint.ch/.
25:30, Ray L. Flores described the status of legal actions in the United States, including a lawsuit and injunction filed by Children’s Health Defense, to be heard on January 23, 2023, challenging a Californian Law (AB2098) that curtails doctors’ freedom of speech.
31:15, Philipp Kruse, Human Rights Lawyer Dr. Renate Holzeisen, and retired Paediatrician Dr. Ros Jones MD joined Ray L. Flores to discuss their perspectives on the legal landscapes in their respective jurisdictions. Renate Holzeisen concluded by stressing that as public opinion changes in this way, judges and prosecutors are more willing to do their job. Ray Flores agreed, adding, “the courts follow the culture.”

With Taylor Hudák, Meryl Nass, Liz Evans, Daniel Broudy, and Valerie Kyrie
Journalist Taylor Hudak MA introduced Session IV by acknowledging the many courageous doctors and scientists persecuted for telling the truth about COVID-19 and offering early treatments. “Without them we could not be here doing what we’re doing today, and could not fight effectively to restore our fundamental freedoms and human rights.”
Part 1: A Series on the Suppression of Doctors and Scientists During the COVID Crisis.
Dr. Thomas Binder from Switzerland and Dr. Ryan Cole from the US recounted how they were persecuted during the COVID crisis.
Part 2: Doctor Hunting and Fighting Back by Merryl Nass, MD
Dr. Meryl Nass, MD, outlined the formal organizational structures and strategies behind the persecution of doctors in the United States.
Panel Discussion:
Dr. Liz Evans, co-founder, and director of the Medical Freedom Alliance, joined Taylor Hudak and Dr. Meryl Nass for a panel discussion.
Session IV concluded with a powerful documentary summarising an article published on Unlimited Hangout: Covid-19: Mass Formation or Mass Atrocity?

Polly Tommey of CHD.TV opened the session by introducing Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, medical doctor, former politician, and expert on public health and pandemics, who spoke about the foundations of Democracy, the mechanisms of its erosion, and core principles for rebuilding democratic governance once again.
Wolfgang Wodarg: Guideposts Towards a Future of Our Own Making
Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg began by inviting viewers to “remember there was democracy” and to “think over how we could re-establish it in many parts of the world.” He shared a formula for resilient democracies, which centres around transparency as a function of societal size and complexity. Transparency, he stressed, is the critical ingredient for safeguarding Democracy, such that governance occurs in the interests of citizens rather than those in power.
Catherine Austin Fitts and Dr. Meryl Nass joined Polly Tommey and Wolfgang Wodarg to discuss Dr. Wodarg’s presentation, focusing on how to fight back.
Michael Palmer, MD, rounded off the symposium with a message to doctors, nurses, patients, and lawyers. Finally, Catherine Austin Fitts read Vermont Royster’s In Hoc Anno Domini (In This Year of Our Lord), written for the Wall Street Journal in 1949 at Christmas, as the world recovered from a devastating war. In Hoc Anno Domini describes Saul of Tarsus’ conversion and emancipation from a world in bondage, with a message to stand fast in liberty, render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and “be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” The editorial proved so popular that it has been re-published by the Wall Street Journal every Christmas Eve since 1949.

Session III of our fifth symposium, In the Midst of Darkness Light Prevails, focused on how the entities and actors responsible for the abuses of COVID-19 have circumvented due process, regulatory safeguards, and the law.
Catherine Austin Fitts of Solari Inc. opened Session III by inviting viewers to consider speakers’ presentations with the following principle in mind: If we can understand the nuts and bolts of how the incoming control grid is invading our lives and communities and societies, we can stop helping, and we can refuse to comply.
Part 1: CBDC Suicide Pill for Sovereignty
Attorney John Titus discussed how and why the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) currently being proposed and trialed in several countries spell an end to individual and national sovereignty.
Part 2 – Overriding Sovereignty with International Treaties and Organizations
Investigative journalist Corey Lynn of Corey’s Digs described some mechanisms by which many of the world’s most globally influential organizations operate above the law “but completely outside it.”
Panel Discussion: Catherine Austin Fitts and Carolyn Betts
Part 3- Overriding Sovereignty with Military Law and Emergency Powers Pharmaceutical entrepreneur Alexandra Latypova followed by providing bombshell revelations concerning several pieces of legislative architecture dating back decades that combined in 2020 to hand US military-intelligence agencies control over COVID-19 vaccines and interventions.
Catherine Austin Fitts, Dr. Meryl Nass, and Sahsa Latypova closed Session III by reflecting on the implications and broader context of the issues raised.

Dr. Bhakdi provided an overview of “textbook immunology” on respiratory viruses and urged doctors and scientists to “open your textbooks and go back and see whether what we have been saying has not been before your eyes for decades” at the end of his presentation.

Dr Michael Palmer summarized the evidence from autopsies and bio-distribution studies, which reinforced the mechanisms described by Dr Bhakdi. In short, the injected mRNA vaccines can cause damages all around the body over an extended period of time, and such vaccine damage is not rare.

Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD, PE, presents the statistical data on the adverse events associated with COVID vaccines. The VARS data has shown that the COVID vaccines can increase the risk of shingles, myocarditis, and other disorders.

Dr Meryl Nass, MD, ABIM led a panel discussion with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Dr. Michael Palmer, and Dr. Brian Hooker, during which she pointed out that regulatory agencies have admitted to approximately 50 percent of the RNA in COVID injections being unidentified. This means, she said, that neither the regulators nor the public know what the mRNA vaccines contain. Approximately 50 percent of the mRNA, moreover, is degraded, creating genetic debris that makes it impossible to scientifically determine the genetic composition of the shots, even if regulators inspected the vaccine contents, which they do not.

Philipp Kruse has been practicing law in Switzerland since 1997. He and his team have filed 22 ordinary court proceedings against all COVID-related mandates since December 2020. In July 2022, they filed a criminal complaint against SWISSMEDIC, the Swiss regulatory authority on drugs and vaccines.
In this video, Philipp Kruse explains the substance and the legal strategy of this criminal complaint against SWISSMEDIC. He describes, by way of example, the adverse effects suffered by a former professional soccer player after she was injected with an mRNA vaccine (5:30). Kruse argues that the disinformation dispensed by the SWISSMEDIC, together with political and social pressures, push healthy people into a dangerous medical experiment, which leads to long-term health damage. At the same time, doctors and the public deny entirely the adverse effects caused by the vaccines and fail to help people suffering from them, which causes further physical and emotional harm to these victims.
Mr. Kruse gives his reasons for filing this lawsuit against SWISSMEDIC instead of Pfizer (8:10). SWISSMEDIC has severely and repeatedly violated its essential legal duties and due diligence. He lists the three core allegations in detail (14:10):
Unlawful "temporary approval."
Deception of the population
Inadequate market surveillance
He also presents the timeline of the misdemeanors and violations committed by SWISSMEDIC, showing that the agency continued to extend the authorizations despite the growing warning signals and accumulating evidence of adverse effects (15:40).
At the end of his presentation, Mr. Kruse summarizes what he and his team will do next and provides general guidance on applying his work to various jurisdictions. For further information on this important lawsuit, please visit https://corona-complaint.ch.

Ray L. Flores II is a health freedom attorney at Children's Health Defense (CHD). He starts his presentation by discussing the current legal situation in the USA. In his opinion, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act is the most dangerous threat to the public because the Act protects vaccine manufacturers and any providers who distribute and inject vaccines from liability.
The legal system presents numerous hurdles to those seeking redress for vaccine damage; for example, most courts in the USA are uncomfortable dealing with scientific questions (2:00). Nevertheless, there are ways to overcome these obstructions; one of them is through Worker's Compensation (1:20).
Another urgent matter is the new California legislation which makes it punishable for physicians and other healthcare workers to disagree with any official medical guidance given by the state government, either publicly or in their advice to patients. Attorneys at CHD are now filing the lawsuits against this legislation on two grounds (3:50):
1. There is no difference between freedom of speech for doctors and the general public;
2. The scientific narrative has flip-flopped over time, as laid out in the document written by Dr. Sanjay Verma (see links below).

Lawyers Philipp Kruse, Dr. Renate Holzeisen, and retired Paediatrician Dr. Ros Jones MD joined Ray L Flores to discuss their perspectives on the legal landscapes in their respective jurisdictions.
Dr. Renate Holzeisen described a ruling in Italy that upheld the constitutionality of Italy’s vaccine mandates based on ‘science.’ She considered the decision “a huge scandal,” given that COVID vaccines do not prevent contagiousness, which negates the scientific rationale for vaccine mandates in the first place. However, she said that admissions by the EMA and other authorities that the evidence does not support vaccination as a contagion control would be valuable to future legal actions.
Dr. Ros Jones described procedural and cultural barriers to legally challenging the vaccination of children in the UK. These included the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) offloading responsibility back and forth between them, court applications being deemed either too premature before vaccine approval or too late afterward, and a legal culture whereby the court did not evaluate the quality of scientific evidence behind official decisions, as long as “experts” had been consulted.
Ray L. Flores noted that in the US, cases were often similarly “discharged through a trapdoor,” for instance, via dismissal or based on standing, enabling judges to avoid engaging with scientific evidence and challenging questions. Philipp Kruse described a similar experience in Switzerland, whereby courts repeatedly declined to hear scientific evidence from expert witnesses.
In terms of constructive ways forward, Dr. Jones reflected on her experience that, despite the intransigence of government authorities and courts, “I think parents are listening… For the five to 11 [age group], just seven percent [in the UK] have had two doses. So I think the parents are voting with their feet.” She added that the COVID vaccine has only had around a 2.5 percent uptake in newborns to four-year-olds in the US, demonstrating a similar pattern.
Renate Holzeisen concluded by stressing that as public opinion changes in this way, judges and prosecutors are more willing to do their job. Ray Flores agreed, adding, “the courts follow the culture.”

John Titus, a US attorney, starts his talk by introducing the concept of sovereignty (1:18), followed by a short clip showing Agustin Carlsen’s comment on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) (2:35). Agustin Carlsen is the general manager of Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
“The central banks will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability and also we will have the technology to enforce that,” according to Carlsen.
Titus believes that “CBDC is the sort of Trojan horse for the global control of nations by groups like BIS, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and World Bank Group,” and “The CBDC will end national sovereignty.”
Watch the video on why and how CBDC can destroy personal and national sovereignty, explained by John Titus.

Catherine Austin Fitts first introduce investigative journalist Corey Lynn and Attorney Carolynn A. Betts Esq.
Corey starts her talk (1:40) with the history of the International Organizations Immunities Act. According to her, this US federal law is the key mechanism to allow international organizations to run both above and outside the law in the US. Corey Lynn discloses more treaties and headquarters agreements that grant specific organizations similar immunities, for example, Gates-founded Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (Gavi) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). She also discusses the immunity of Big Pharm from lawsuits for vaccine damage.

Catherine Austin Fitts with Carolyn Betts MBA JD.
Carolyn first discusses (1:00) the book by Adam Lebor: Tower of Basel: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World (PublicAffairs, 2013). She finds the section on World War II especially shocking: “Two guys who were from England and Germany and remained fast friends during World War II came up with the idea of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS).” According to Catherine, the real goal of these bankers who created BIS was to create a global bank that has “sovereign immunity” and can not “be prosecuted and questioned.”
The two then discuss the following issues:
1. The BIS has extended its sovereign immunity to protect its member banks during the financial crisis and from prosecution. The New York Fed and HSBC are cited as examples (3:15).
2. The $21 trillion that have gone “missing” from the US government (6:20). Catherine speculates that the only way that the US government could balance the books in the face of this enormous theft is by lowering the life expectancy of the population.
3. Additional agencies and companies have been granted exemption from liability or even sovereign immunity status, particularly in healthcare.
Carolyn Betts believes that the lawsuits against COVID-19 measures may be “the way to educate people nationally and internationally about what's been going on and what's been leading up to where we are today.” Catherine Austin Fitts adds, “I dare any international organization to march into court and say that their sovereign immunity gives them the power to implement mass atrocity and murder worldwide.” Carolyn agrees: “I just don't see how you can say there's sovereign immunity for murder.”

Evidence of Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder by the pharma manufacturers, US Department of Defense (DOD), US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) by Alexandra (Sasha) Latypova.
COVID “vaccines” are weapons – according to secretive yet official policies of the US government.
This video is a must-watch.
Sasha Latypova dives deep into the legal and administrative side of US COVID policies, based on publicly available materials.
The video starts with Catherine Austin Fitts introducing Sasha Latypova and Meryl Nass, who joined a subsequent discussion. Sasha then summarizes the state of the evidence on COVID vaccines: they are toxic by design, they lack safety and efficacy. Manufacturing standards are lousy, and policy malignant (3:00). These observations raise the question:
1. Why has there been no remedial action by the regulators or the courts? (4:30)
Sasha’s answer is startling: regulators and courts have not taken action, because the COVID vaccines are not merely covered by Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), but are also classified as “military countermeasures.” She then explains the critical legal rules involving EUA countermeasures in detail (7:30):
• 21 USC 360bbb-3(k): Use of EUA countermeasures “shall not be considered to constitute a clinical investigation,” and therefore, “are not subject to FDA regulation.” This law is even cited in the FDA’s own draft guidance, which means that the FDA is fully aware that it has no legal competence in this case.
• 21 USC 360bbb-3(c): EUA countermeasures issued at HHS Secretary's discretion are NOT required to meet any of the standards which conventionally regulate pharmaceutical products.
Sasha says that all the interactions between the vaccine manufacturers and the FDA have no legal relevance at all – “vaccine development and approval is a performance art and voluntary.”
2. Who really sets the rules for the vaccine roll-out? (11:30)
According to Sasha, the National Security Council (NSC) is in charge of the COVID Policy, not the public health-related agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) leads the federal pandemic response, not HHS. The HHS mainly plays an information and propaganda role, “pretending that they are doing something over which they don't have the authority.”
3. Who is REALLY developing and manufacturing these injections? (13:30)
Sasha asserts that NSC, DOD, and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) are in charge, not the Pharma companies. She concludes with some hard-hitting statements:
"BARDA also was very proud of being able to accelerate the clinical development by breaking the law."
“BARDA alone took over the entire pharmaceutical industry in the United States.”
"COVID-19 Injections are weapons intended to harm."

In this video, two doctors, Dr. Thomas Binder from Switzerland and Dr. Ryan Cole from the US, recounted how they were persecuted during the COVID crisis.
On the evening of Easter Saturday in 2020, Dr. Binder was "brutally arrested" by a 60-strong "hardcore anti-terrorism unit with machine guns." Upon finding no basis for arrest, the Swiss anti-terrorism unit called in a medical examiner, who issued the concocted diagnosis of 'corona insanity' and placed Dr. Binder in a padded cell for 36 hours.
Next, Dr. Ryan Cole described his experiences of ill-treatment by the mainstream media, insurance companies, and various medical boards.
Taylor Hudak concluded that we are witnessing "the weaponization of psychology and mental health to demonize dissenting voices.

In this video, Dr. Meryl Nass first discussed how totalitarian control of the medical profession was achieved. Strategies include:
1. Putting public health agencies under control.
2. Bribing medical organizations.
3. Controlling the media.
4. Passing new laws to criminalize doctors' speech (California's AB2098 and British Columbia's Bill 36).
She cited two organizations acting as police for "misinformation," the newly sprung-up No License for Disinformation and the Federation of State Medical Boards.
Next, Dr. Nass gave an overview of the legal proceedings in the US and laid out the strategies to fight back, as "hundreds or thousands of doctors have been investigated or lost their licenses." She discussed the following cases:
1. Legal challenges to California's AB2098 law;
2. Cases of bodily autonomy supported by the US courts;
3. An opinion by the Nebraska Attorney General regarding Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin;
4. A case brought by the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana and the New Civil Liberties Alliance against illegal collaboration between federal agencies (including the FBI) and social media companies;
5. A vital victory by eminent French infectious diseases expert Christian Perronne in October 2022.
Dr. Nass encouraged doctors to familiarise themselves with the First Amendment of the US Constitution, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
During the panel discussion, Dr. Liz Evans joined Taylor Hudak and Dr. Meryl Nass in discussing the dangers of weaponizing terms such as 'disinformation' and 'misinformation' to suppress scientific debates.
"Don't wait for the court to make the decision," concluded Dr. Nass, to which Dr. Evans agreed. Dr. Evans also added that the emerging laws criminalizing doctors' speech would prevent doctors from abiding by their codes of ethics. She stressed that medical ethics existed to protect patients and that medicine without ethics was unsafe for us all.

Polly Tommey of CHD.TV opened the session by introducing Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a medical doctor, former politician, and expert on public health and pandemics, who spoke about the foundations of democracy, the mechanisms of its erosion, and core principles for rebuilding democratic governance once again.
Dr. Wodarg shared a formula for resilient democracies centered around transparency as a function of societal size and complexity. Transparency, he stressed, is the critical ingredient for safeguarding democracy, such that governance occurs in the interests of citizens rather than those in power. With a near-total absence of transparency in our vast and immensely complex global societies and organizations, Dr. Wodarg noted that we were witnessing “almost everything institutionally corrupted.”
Catherine Austin Fitts and Dr. Meryl Nass joined Polly Tommey and Dr. Wodarg to discuss his presentation. Catherine Austin Fitts encouraged viewers to realize that the things we do, and the actions we take, are much more powerful than many people realize. In “everything you think and everything you do,” she said, “say no to darkness and yes to light.”

Michael Palmer, MD, rounded off the symposium with a message to doctors, nurses, patients, and lawyers.
Finally, Catherine Austin Fitts read Vermont Royster's In Hoc Anno Domini (In This Year of Our Lord), written for the Wall Street Journal in 1949 at Christmas, as the world recovered from a devastating war. The book describes Saul of Tarsus' conversion and emancipation from a world in bondage, with a message to stand fast in liberty, render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and "be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
"For one to be free all will be free. This means you. Choose freedom, so that tyranny cannot and will not stand. May your light arise and break through the darkness today, and throughout the New Year and all of 2023. "
"From Doctors for Covid Ethics and all the groups that have helped us tonight, from CHD.TV, UK Column, and CHD Europe, good night and God bless."
