Why I H-A-T-E the ACLU
By Katie Wright
I didn’t always feel this way. In college I enjoyed studying the ACLU and believed their battles for free speech were brave and of monumental importance. They fought to allow people espousing the most unpopular views the right to express their opinion. The ACLU fought and won to end the ban inter racial and LGBTQ marriages. So many amazing accomplishments.
To me the ACLU meant “Don’t tell me how to think, how to express myself (peacefully, of course), where to worship, or not worship, or what to do not what to do with my body!” Don’t those sentiments epitomize America?
Like most Americans I was shocked and disgusted by the ACLU NYT editorial applauding vaccine mandates. Yes, vaccine mandates are vaccination by force because if the punishment is losing your job, there is no choice at all. The idiots who wrote that letter seriously misjudged their own ACLU members. The negative comments to the ACLU editorial ran about 100 -1!
Apparently, the ACLU fully supports restaurants and stores refusing to serve Black customers. The ACLU also fully supports the immediate firing of unvaccinated Black Americans. What advocacy! You are hitting it out of the park ACLU!
The fact almost 50% of Black Americans in NYC are being refused service at restaurants conjures up some ugly memories, doesn’t it? But the ACLU says bring back Jim Crow, I missed you pal!! Turn the unvaccinated Black customers away!
The Black community has valid reasons to be concerned about vaccine safety. Historically, the medical community has mistreated Black patients and denied them adequate care. But it is the Black population, not the medical community, being punished today. Makes sense, right?
As I mentioned earlier, the reaction to their NYT piece celebrating vaccine by force, was, overwhelmingly negative, in the 95% range. It’s worth stating that many of the most negative commenters mentioned they were ACLU members!
The ACLU is so out of touch. I looked to see what type of cases they ARE prioritizing. If you are Central American trying to live in the USA, the ACLU has your back. They are deeply involved in that issue. They are working on a number of cases about trans rights. The ACLU fought and won the right to force schools to allow all trans girls (biologically male) to compete against girls in all track and field sports. The result, in my home state of Connecticut, has meant in competition with trans girls, girls almost never win track meets. Subsequently, the girls are denied championships, scholarships etc. Yeah, nice work ACLU. So much for all your claims to care about the rights of girls.
So if you are not a Central American trying to live in this country or a trans person, you are in the other 99% of America & the ACLU could not care less about you. Your right to privacy is of trivial importance. In their twisted universe, forcing you to choose between your job and a medical intervention you don’t want, only strengthens your civil liberties???
Do the geniuses who wrote this editorial even know that people seriously injured by the covid vaccine are denied compensation and all due process?? The vaccine maker is indemnified and the “special court” selected to hear covid cases is notoriously mismanaged and hostile to citizen complainants. They Covid vaccine court finds for the vaccine maker/ govt approximately NINETY percent of the time.
Hey ACLU, do u even know there is no jury allowed and discovery not mandatory in this “special” court? Sounds like a great system to “enhance our civil liberties!” So, if you have a severe adverse reaction and cannot work for months, therefore cannot pay your bills, you are out of luck, my friend. The consumer has all the responsibility and all the risk! Sounds fair!
The ACLU of today is an embarrassment to its founding mission. Instead of taking a close look at vaccine mandates and lack of consumer rights, they put on that cheerleading outfit, get out their pompoms and celebrate the loss of our civil rights. ACLU 2021 says you do NOT have the right to to bodily integrity or have the right to compensation if harmed.
Do you know even Russia forbids vaccine mandates?
Every single “psych rights” website I’ve ever seen glorifies the use of restraints, drugs, and injections on violent and aggressive individuals - rather than PREVENTING MENTAL ILLNESS AND AUTISM or using chelation and healing foods to eliminate rage and meltdown inducing aluminum and toxins or fixing intestinal permeability that could cause rage-inducing inflammation.
“psych rights” websites glorifying injections is just like Del Bigtree glorifying vaccines “when necessary for a disease terrifying enough” when autism is a far worse chronic life threatening illness than the flu.
I have not seen a single “psych rights” website question WHY aggressive individuals violently lash out, not a single one of them has asked “can neuronal aluminum cause violent behavior?” and Florida is waking up to the perils of aluminum and vaccine adjuvants linked to autism, rage, aggression, self injury, violent meltdowns, learning and cognitive impairments, etc - as the mainland USA, California, and New York drowns in aluminum adjuvants and vaccines.
Are “psych rights” websites secretly funded by vaccine loving Big Pharma?

How can ACLU not have a-clue about what aluminum and vaccines are doing to America and the world?
It’s not just a white man’s problem. As autism rates decrease in white populations, they’re increasing in minority populations. It’s EVERYONE’S problem.
Also notice: the clueless ACLU has no clue how to do beneficial social change without totalitarian vaccine recommendations and mandates. They don’t care about saving or teaching Native American languages or teaching morality in schools.
Do they have a-clue about why autistics are majorly unemployed? Rather than the mere “social misfits” that describe high functioning mild autistics without serious learning disabilities/dyscalculia, attention problems aggression or violence, impaired cognition, etc.
What happens to the learning impaired, dyscalculic, severely and violently autistic populations?
Posted by: anonymous | October 23, 2021 at 10:56 AM
Liberals claim to fight against restraints, verbal and physical abuse, drugging, and injections in psych wards - but applaud incredibly neurotoxic and destructive aluminum loaded vaccines, whose adjuvants can cause rages, aggression and SIB, inability to control behavior/feeling like being controlled by an evil spirit, migraines, head banging and self hitting, communication impairments, property destruction, meltdowns, learning disorders, seasonal affective disorder, misophonia, intermittent explosive disorder, autism, delays, etc.
Del Bigtree’s book, “How to End the Autism Epidemic” is a pro vaccine fraud, no amount of “safer smaller later/spaced out” vaccine schedules will prevent the collapse, because all vaccines are poison. There’s NO safe vaccine. There never will be. Sadistic psych ward monsters - who restrain, torture, stalk, drug, verbally abuse, and inject aluminum poisoned violent patients, instead of removing the aluminum through chelation such as special clays, herbs, vegetable juices, etc - make handsome profits off our world’s explosion in aggressive, destructive, learning impaired, and violent children, teens, and young adults.
The effects of vaccine injury can only be prevented by completely ending ALL vaccines, not by lowering, delaying, or allowing some poisons to slip through. Also read about STREP, PANDAS, and Kreed Joshua.

Once again, I'm left pondering where to place what I perceive to be a very important video/interview.
So - I'll put this one here.
This is a CHD/Dr. Brian Hooker interview with Dr. Jessica Rose. Dr. Rose has analyzed the VAERS database, starting earlier this year; her findings are articulated within this interview.
I'm still watching this, but didn't want to forget to place the link here at the AOA blog; for those of whom may be considering receiving one of the covid jabs, either for themselves, or for their elderly loved ones (or children gawd forbid), this is a must watch (just 3 or so mins. under one hour):

Thank You Katie et al! I have just cancelled my support of the ACLU!
Posted by: 8horizontal | October 19, 2021 at 12:09 AM
Yep, it's become glaringly obvious who has been bought and who hasn't. They don't even try to fake it anymore.

I do not believe they are out of touch. I believe that they have gotten big donations from pHARMa.

"Vaccines are a justifiable intrusion on autonomy and bodily integrity. That may sound ominous, because we all have the fundamental right to bodily integrity and to make our own health care decisions," the piece continued. "But these rights are not absolute. They do not include the right to inflict harm on others."
- WOW! I guess it is only the government that has the right to inflict harm on others. Bodily autonomy "should" be overruled for the greater good - the greater good of whom? "Justifiable intrusion!" Omigod. Did anyone read this thing before they printed it? I feel like I can hear the tanks rolling down the street. Go ACLU! Trample those civil liberties! Thanks for having our backs! Where does their funding come from?
Yes Benedetta - I thought Fauci would be behind bars by now - or at least fired!

@ Katie
I highly recommend HBO's two part documentary .. 2 hrs each part … "CRIME OF THE CENTURY" exposing the morally, ethically, criminally corrupt PURDUE SACKLER FAMILY that KNOWINGLY unleashed our OPIOID crisis .. which resulted in THOUSANDS of over dose deaths. This documentary is more meaningful today as it exposes the very same tactics and STAKEHOLDERS driving VACCINE MANDATES of today …. which I suspect will be eventually revealed as an even bigger CRIME OF THE CENTURY than our opioid disaster.
(Thanks to AoA commenter who recommended this documentary … it was truly eye opening)

I’m watching the excellent Netflix movie “The Trial of the Chicago Seven.” William Kunstler bravely defends anti Vietnam War peaceful protestors. THAT is the ACLU I knew! If the idiots currently leading the ACLU were running the org in 1969 they would have been pro Vietnam War & would have supported the censorship of dissents. That’s how crazy the ACLU had become!

If u search ACLU & NYT editorial you will find it & read the ridiculous essay for yourselves.
Don’t you see? Taking away your rights = more civil liberties!!!!! 😂

ACLU:
on its website-
"In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the foundational document of the modern human rights system. "
and yet chooses to express disdain in NYT for this same document.
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights Article 6—
Consent 1. Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be with drawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.—The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), October 2005

Search NYT + ACLU + vaccine mandates and u can read the ridiculous editorial!!!
Posted by: Katie | October 16, 2021 at 02:58 PM
So great to hear that comments ran 100 to one. Among those hundred will be some who declare right then and there, " Ive had enough !" and become activists.. these people seem to have no understanding of logic, laws, courage in defending American values. And perhaps they are devoid of the ability to understand other human beings feelings. Isnt there some word for people like that?

The ACLU, like their cousins on the far left, are fine with you living in a Hypocrisy. They will defend the rights of liberals while squashing the rights of those with a conservative orientation. Medical tyranny used to be the province of fascists, which is a fitting term for today's Democrat Party whose policies favor the collusion of government with big business and monopolies at the expense of small businesses and competition in the marketplace. Americans need to wake up and vote these ideologues out of office whether in the federal government or the local school board.

Yes, 100%... thanks for writing this.

I would love to read that editorial. Wondering if someone could post it here. One has to wonder about the reasons for the ACLU leadership to promote mandated vaccines. Is it Federal money incentive? Or what? I don't know very much about the inner workings of the ACLU, but it would be interesting to find out.

Agree whole-heartedly with Katie .. ACLU has been captured by public health tyrants … just as so many other once respected organizations have .. consider this from Children's Health Defense Fund:
"NBA player Brandon Goodwin, former point guard with the Atlanta Hawks, pulled out last season because of blood clots he believes were caused by the COVID vaccine. Goodwin said team officials called him when he was in the hospital and told him not to disclose his diagnosis."
The media has been non stop criticizing NY Nets player for refusing vaccine … his fellow athletes have not appeared supportive of his position … however .. the media has been SILENT about Goodwin's comments wherein he believes blood clots caused by vaccine.
Also from CHD
"Data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Oct. 8, 2021, a total of 798,636 adverse events following COVID vaccines were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The data included a total of 16,766 reports of deaths — an increase of 456 over the previous week, and two more reports of teens who died after being vaccinated."
Why is the media SILENT on CDC vaccine injury data … probably for the same reason ACLU has abandoned their mission …. THEY TOO HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY PHARMA-PUBLIC HEALTH VACCINE STAKEHOLDERS … BILLIONS AND FUTURE BILLIONS CAN CAPTURE ANY ORGANIZATION …. WE ARE WITNESSING "GREATEST CRIME OF THE CENTURY" .. BIGGER THAN OPIOID CRIME WHICH COSTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST

Thanks, Katie. I, too, was once a fan of the ACLU. Today, they deserve the title "Anti-Civil-Liberties Union." I was as astonished as everyone else at their turn to the dark side, but then, nothing surprises me any more.

We lost another employee this week, it looks like stroke. He was a good man , super smart and gentle as a kitten. Point of record, he was not trans nor was he from Central America. I think he was born in Yuma, and I know he has a wife and kids who love him dearly and depend on him.
Anthony Fauci's satanic march continues. the ACLU is squashed like the bug that it is. vaccine discrimination is clearly de facto racial discrimination.
Posted by: drymeadow | October 16, 2021 at 07:47 AM
Absolutely. The ACLU used to be good at defending certain liberties. But it has NEVER been good on defending economic liberty. And without economic liberty, there is no liberty at all.
