David Cobb, Riki Ott To Discuss Abolishment Of Corporate Personhood In Pacific Northwest Speaking Tour
Local Sponsors: Alliance For Democracy, Jobs With Justice, Pacific Green Party, and Peace Village Festival
On Thursday, Feb. 25 from 7 to 9 pm David Cobb and Riki Ott will be visiting Ashland's Bellview Grange to lead a community dialogue about the recent Supreme Court decision in Citizens United that gives corporations individual's rights, and how our community can join the movement to abolish corporate "personhood."
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Citizens United case to open the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending on elections, a new national coalition of diverse public interest, community, and business organizations responded with a bold call to overrule the decision and amend the Constitution to restore the power of people over corporations. David Cobb and Riki Ott, coalition organizers in the Campaign to Legalize Democracy, will appear at Ashland’s Bellview Grange on Thursday, February 25th to help local citizens learn how they can work to abolish corporate personhood and reestablish a government of, by, and for the people.
"Corporate personhood" commonly refers to court-created precedent that gives corporations constitutional rights intended solely for human beings. Corporate personhood is not an inconsequential legal technicality. The Supreme Court ruled that a corporation was a "legal person" with 14th Amendment protections before they granted full personhood to African-Americans, immigrants, Native Americans, or women.
"We are inspired by historic social movements that recognized the necessity of altering fundamental power relationships," said Riki Ott, the Director of Ultimate Civics and a marine toxicologist whose activism was galvanized by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. "America has progressed through ordinary people joining together -- from the Revolutionaries to Abolitionists, Suffragists, Trade Unionists, and Civil Rights activists through to today."
"The movement we are launching is a long-term effort to make the U.S. Constitution more democratic," notes David Cobb, the Director of the Program on Corporations Law & Democracy and an attorney helping to lead the coalition. "We are a diverse coalition with deep roots in communities nationwide. We recognize that amending the Constitution to restore the power of the people over corporations will not be easy, but we know correcting the Supreme Court is imperative to the progress of our nation."
Over 60,000 people have signed an online petition supporting a constitutional amendment at www.MoveToAmend.org. Move to Amend is a project of The Campaign to Legalize Democracy.

Coronavirus News
Explosive If True: “I’m a Clinical Lab Scientist, C19 Is Fake, Wake up America” | The True Defender !
What we found was that all of the 1500 samples were mostly Influenza A and some were influenza B, but not a single case of Covid, and we did not use the B.S. PCR test. We then sent the remainder of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a few of the University of California labs and they found the same results as we did, NO COVID. They found influenza A and B. All of us then spoke to the CDC and asked for viable samples of COVID, which CDC said they could not provide as they did not have any samples. We have now come to the firm conclusion through all our research and lab work, that the COVID 19 was imaginary and fictitious. The flu was called Covid and most of the 225,000 dead were dead through co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, emphysema etc. and they then got the flu which further weakened their immune system and they died. I have yet to find a single viable sample of Covid 19 to work with. We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for Covid 19 fraud. the CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purifed sample of Covid 19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no Covid 19, it is fictitious. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the Covid 19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples. All the four papers written on Covid 19 only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.COVID-19 Nasal Swab Test Led To Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak | Forbes
Many who’ve had a nasal Covid-19 test performed on themselves have described it as feeling like that swab got as far back as their brains. If done correctly, the swab is angled parallel to the floor, all the way to the back of the nose, and the swab is rubbed on an area called the nasopharynx. The actual term is a nasopharyngeal swab, not nasal swab, because it’s the nasopharynx that contains the highest possible viral load to best determine an active Covid-19 infection. The distance from the average nasal tip to the nasopharynx is close to 6 inches. So if it feels like there’s a half a foot being stuck up your nose, well, you’re not so far off.US to Require Quarantine for All International Air Travelers | The Epoch Times
President Joe Biden on Jan. 21 issued an executive order that would require international air travelers to quarantine upon arrival to the United States.CDC says asymptomatic people don't need testing, draws criticism from experts | TheHill
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly changed its guidance on Monday to now say that asymptomatic people do not need to be tested for coronavirus, even if they have been in close contact with an infected person. The agency made the move by updating its website but did not make any public announcement or explain the reasoning behind the major revision. The guidance now states: “If you have been in close contact (within 6 feet) of a person with a COVID-19 infection for at least 15 minutes but do not have symptoms: You do not necessarily need a test unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health care provider or State or local public health officials recommend you take one.”What Kind of Covid Test Should I Get? Answers on Cost, Accuracy and More | WSJ
There are two generally available types of Covid-19 tests. The first, and most commonly used so far, is a PCR test, which is short for polymerase chain reaction. It’s a molecular test, meaning it searches for the virus’s genetic material in a nasal swab or saliva sample, and it is often processed in a highly complex laboratory. There are two ways to collect a nasal sample: from the inside of a nostril, or from the back of the nose and throat. The second way, called a nasopharyngeal swab, requires a professional to probe more deeply into the nasal cavity to get the sample. Some testing sites may ask you to swab your nose or cheek yourself, or spit into a tube. Each of these collection methods creates a sample that can be analyzed with a PCR test. Antigen tests, which search the sample for viral proteins instead of the virus’s genetic code, are becoming more widespread in the U.S. Right now, antigen tests are typically offered at doctor’s offices, nursing homes, schools and other congregate settings where groups of people need testing fast.
