Oath Keepers CALL TO ACTION to Deploy to Puerto Rico

We need volunteers to provide close protection/security for medical/rescue teams going into rural Puerto Rico communities which have not received food, water, or medical relief in the wake of hurricane Maria.

Oath Keepers launched this mission by volunteering to in the emergency medical evacuation of a critically ill child.  First into Puerto Rico today will be a two man Oath Keepers security team who will help Dr. Thompson’s medical team evacuate the child.  One of our team members will be Florida Oath Keepers leader Scott Dunn, who is a retired trauma nurse, veteran police and corrections officer, and a U.S. Army Ranger School graduate.   Dr. Thompson asked Scott to go on this first-flight-in because of his extensive experience in the E.R. as well as his capabilities as a protector.  Also on this first two-man security team will be Oath Keepers Founder, Stewart Rhodes, who is an Army Airborne veteran and former volunteer fire-fighter.  https://www.oathkeepers.org/oath-keepers-assist-doctors-medical-evacuation-critically-ill-child-puerto-rico/

This first five-man team will be quickly strengthened by additional Oath Keepers teams which are on their way.   Dr. Thompson is arranging the private flights from the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area into Puerto Rico.   If you are a “quiet professional” with the requisite background and training, and the presence of mind and calmness under pressure to operate as a security escort for doctors, medics, and search and rescue personnel in a potentially dangerous disaster environment, please volunteer to help us.

You can contact us at:  puertorico@oathkeepers.org and we will begin the vetting process.  Billy Simmons is in overall charge of coordinating volunteers for this security mission. We will post up more details on that shortly.

As stated above, we are looking for “quiet professionals” who are well trained and experienced infantry, police, PSD, or security professionals. We are also needing medical personnel as well as communications experts.

Engineers and construction/contractors are also very much needed to help clear debris from roads and help build emergency shelter  while we also work our primary mission of security for the doctors, nurses, medics and rescue workers of Third Wave Volunteers.

Veterans, it is time to step up and help protect our rescue and medical personnel so they can safely do their critical work.

Plan on bringing the proper gear for a security operation in austere, grid down, without rule of law conditions where you will have to sustain yourself while keeping others safe.   Our mission is humanitarian disaster relief but the sad fact is that bad guys take advantage of such conditions to prey on innocent people.  Therefore, let us do our duty to stand in defense of the vulnerable.

Primary contact method is emailing: puertorico@oathkeepers.org

Please check back here for more details on volunteering for this security mission. If you have any questions, please use the email address above.

If you are qualified to participate in Puerto Rico, we would sincerely appreciate your help.  If not, you can still help by donating a little or a lot to help with the expenses incurred by our volunteer teams.

Anti-Vaccination Nurses In Australia Will Now Face Prosecution

By: Alexa Erickson, Collective-Evolution |

Vaccinations have long been a controversial talking point. We are told that in order to achieve and maintain good health, we must get vaccinated, but not everyone accepts this view.

In fact, many nurses and midwives, for instance, choose to promote anti-vaccination on social media or in person, saying vaccines are neither necessary nor even advisable. But now the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia is warning that those who do this could face prosecution. The board urges the public to report any instances of people spreading “misleading and deceptive” materials.

“With no exceptions we expect all registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives to use the best available evidence in making practice decisions. This includes providing information to the public about public health issues,” announced Chair of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Dr. Lynette Cusack.

The new stance is the result of reports that a “small number” of practitioners have been spreading anti-vaccination views on social media.

“Midwives and nurses are highly regarded and trusted members of society and people take their advice very seriously,” noted Hannah Dahlen, a professor of midwifery at the University of Western Sydney and the spokeswoman for the Australian College of Midwives. “I agree that they have a very serious obligation to provide the best available evidence, and it is of course concerning that some are taking to social media in order to express a position not backed by science.”

New regulations call for all reports of anti-vaccination promotions to be investigated thoroughly. And if the nurse or midwife in question is found to be breaking their professional obligation to support scientifically-backed health advice, their ability to practice medicine fully could be impeded. The most serious cases could result in harsher penalties, like having their registration suspended or even cancelled altogether.

“The NMBA is taking this opportunity to make its expectations about providing advice on vaccinations clear to registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives,” said the organization.

The new regulations follow Australia’a newly appointed “No Jab, No Pay” law that came into effect on January 1st, 2016. Under this policy, you can “conscientiously object” to vaccinating your child due to philosophical, religious, or “I read things on the Internet” reasons. However, doing so allows the government to withhold family payments of up to $15,000 each year.

Not all parents agree with the no jab law, however. Dr. Judy Wilyman, who has studied the vaccination topic since 1993 (when she immunized her first child), says that the “injection of substances into the human body is an individual’s choice and if people are being refused jobs, welfare benefits or places in schools then this discrimination is infringing on our human right to choose what we inject into our own bodies – our right to bodily integrity.” She also noted that when she tried to debate her academic research, media outlets decided “not report the other side of the vaccination debate.” She claimed to be attacked by consumer lobby groups and that “media censorship” on the issue has prevented “proper debate of this health issue in Australia.”

Australia’s vaccination rates are currently at their highest. Australian Medical Association President Michael Gannon reported that 6,000 children of parents registered as conscientious objectors to vaccination are now completely immunized.

The WHO says vaccinations prevent up to 3 million deaths annually from diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and measles. The organization also claims an additional 1.5 million deaths could be avoided if global vaccination coverages improves.

The biggest concern regarding the enforced punishments of anti-science messaging from healthcare professions is the worry the movement will simply retreat further underground.

“The worry is the confirmation bias that can occur, because people might say: ‘There you go, this is proof that you can’t even have an alternative opinion.’ It might in fact just give people more fuel for their belief systems,” Devlin noted.
