"When you exhale the carbon dioxide you're not able to get it out or past the mask. This condition created by the masks is giving people heart attacks."

Not only is it not effective in disease transmission, [the mask] is hurting you because no one has done a risk analysis or risk assessment on you.  We don't know your airflow, your air intake, your CO2 output, yet I am telling you to cover your mouth and nose all day and then go do your work.  Think about kids who are running around, and their hearts are beating hard, and then we cover their mouth and their nose.  That is very dangerous.  In fact, this is the reason why OSHA instituted the respirator standard in the first place because we have killed people by putting them in face coverings--covering the mouth and nose--and telling them to work all day.  We've killed people because of that.  We've given them heart attacks.  OSHA actually created a respirator standard, that if you're going to cover somebody's mouth and nose and require them to work all day that way, then you have to do a medical evaluation first.  You have to do a fit test.  You have to make sure there is no breakthrough.  So this is an actual OSHA standard.  The intent of the law, the intent behind the law is that we don't cover the mouth and the nose.  It's not healthy: one, you're not able to get in enough oxygen, and when you exhale the carbon dioxide you're not able to get it out or past the mask.  So you're just breathing in and you're keeping too much CO2 in the body, which causes hypercapnia, which is the build-up of CO2 in the blood.  And that causes other issues.  So, hypercapnia, when you have a toxic build-up of CO2 in your blood, it actually causes your blood to become very toxic and acidic, and that causes your immune system to be suppressed.  So it's important that we have good oxygen intake and CO2 expelled.  Those two things are very important for us.  If God wanted our mouth and nose to be covered, we wouldn't have been born with a nose that can breathe air in and a mouth that can exhale air out, right?  OSHA has cited clients of hers for putting people in an N95 respirator

 

OSHA has cited clients of hers for putting people in an N95 respirator

Why is OSHA turning a blind eye to the mask-wearing?  Finally, a good question.  OSHA used to cite people for violating the respiratory standard for putting people in an N95 mask without doing the whole respirator program requirements and meeting all the elements of a respirator program: 1) medical evaluation; 2) the fit test; 3) the documentation, and 4) the annual evaluation.  It's a lot to follow a respirator program and people have a tough time meeting all of those requirements. 

OSHA, at least in Michigan, is adopting the government's policy and violating its own standards.  She simply calls it crazy, but tell us something we don't already know.  Tell us how to stop the enforcement and stop the law. 

Finally, at the 19:15 mark, she makes a good point.  When people argue that doctors who work in an operating room all day with the masks on, the reason they don't get the same symptoms from someone working with one on for 15 to 30 minutes is that the doctors work in operating rooms that have additional airflow to make up for the fact that they're wearing masks, and most doctors don't even know it or realize it.  

Air change rates, ventilation rates for infectious disease control, room pressure control [the room has to be either positive or negative pressure depending on whether she's trying to keep the pathogen in or out].  This is what she deals with on construction projects.  She has to have a very precise temperature and humidity controlled room.  To keep that microenvironment precisely controlled.  So she keeps the oxygen rates up for the doctors and nurses who are wearing surgical masks; they need additional oxygen in that room.  She keeps the pathogen and diseases at bay, so it's a sterile environment.  So the surgical masks that doctors and nurses are wearing prevent transmission if somebody coughs or sneezes--those large droplets of water or mucous that could be carrying a pathogen, right?  But the operating room already is a sterile environment and they're being given additional oxygen so that they're safe.  The mask that they're wearing just protects the patients from coughing or sputtering, whatever, sneezing, anything like that.  So when nurses get online and say that it is BS that masks are harmful, citing how they wear masks all day, and how they do their own oxygen testing, and it's perfect and that they have "no oxygen decrease level," that's because they're working in a room of very precisely controlled O2 level, additional O2, and higher airflow levels to make up for the fact that they're working in a mask.

TOP EPIDEMIOLOGISTS: MASKS DON'T WORK!

This was an excellent article.  
They responded by noting there is little conclusive evidence that face masks are an effective way to limit the spread of respiratory viruses.
All these countries recommending face masks haven’t made their decisions based on new studies, said Henning Bundgaard, chief physician at Denmark’s Rigshospitalet,  according to Bloomberg News.
Denmark is not alone.
Despite a global stampede of mask-wearing, data show that 80-90 percent of people in Finland and Holland say they “never” wear masks when they go out, a sharp contrast to the 80-90 percent of people in Spain and Italy who say they “always” wear masks when they go out.
Dutch public health officials recently explained why they’re not recommending masks.
From a medical point of view, there is no evidence of a medical effect of wearing face masks, so we decided not to impose a national obligation, said Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark.
Others, echoing statements similar to the US Surgeon General from early March, said masks could make individuals sicker and exacerbate the spread of the virus.
Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence, said Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.
There is no benefit and there may even be negative impact.
In Sweden, where COVID-19 deaths have slowed to a crawl, public health officials say they see “no point” in requiring individuals to wear masks.
With numbers diminishing very quickly in Sweden, we see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport, said Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s top infectious disease expert. 
In fact, not only do masks NOT work, they're pools of warm, moist particles that can make you sick or exacerbate any other condition you might have.  Give this 4:37 interview a listen

BUSINESSES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW . . . they can't make you take a line of cocaine as a condition of coming into the store . . . [They're] not your own legislative body.

John Jay Singleton is a consultant from Orange County, Florida.  His website is called Ace of Coins.  You'll find a "Help" link on that page where you write a message to John.  
Laws are not written to give you rights.  Laws are written to restrict those from violating your rights.  --Peggy Hall
 

To be clear, Peggy makes a joke when she says that companies can do anything, hey, they're a private company. A few conditions with that. One, when a company claims to be private, what they're claiming is that they're not government-owned the way some are under communism. Two, privately owned does not mean they're a private club that requires annual or monthly dues and access is only to men or to white men or rich men.  Three, businesses are not above the law or cannot violate their own law in their own corporate charter. 

Here is a 56-page guide on how to sue Sprouts

7:00. "Grocery store won't let you in?  Okay, that's false imprisonment."   

Don't have to sue Sprouts but you can put them on notice. 

12:55. "You have a right to rely upon the law.  . . . you want to pick a fight and win it."  There's a money interest behind everything we're seeing.  Sprouts is the bad boy.  Let's see who is out there that's going to make the rest of us pay.  Fine.   

14:09. Put them on notice.  1.  Notify the Chief Counsel.

So many holes in their scam that if they succeed in what they're doing, it's on us. There's no reason why they should prevail in this . . . the moneyed interests who want us to submit. 14:47.  

16:30. Document what's going on. 

17:22. It's illegal to stop you.  It's illegal to stop your path.  It's illegal to touch you.  Illegal to prevent you from continuing to walk.  

18:14. If you're walking into any business that is open to the public, and they try to stop you it's a crime.  It's known as unlawful restraint or false imprisonment to prevent you from going somewhere. Even if you have the freedom to leave that area, your liberty to go into that store available to anyone else has been strained against your will and that's a crime.  The person doing that to you can be arrested.

18:50. Making a scene is not our solution.  Documenting it is where we win.  

18:55. Understanding your right when you walk in the store no matter what anyone says to you.  You can ignore them and keep on walking.

19:02. You don't have to tell them anything.  If they physically restrain you, that's another issue. 

19:27. If Sprouts intends to deny services to you, you'll be informed of that.  The manager will tell you.  What happens when the manager sends over their monkees?  He and his friend both got banned from Sprouts.  That's not winning.  

20:04. My manager said I can't sell this to you.  

Are you denying me service because of the disability I have? 

MGR: No, we're not doing that because you won't comply with the law!

20:12. Well, I just want to get confirmation that I'm being denied services because I have a disability. (Get that admitted somehow; have that discussion)

And I got his name, that's important too.

NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION, an incident report form. Not a legal document but it's very satisfying.  Date, person's name, what they look like, this is the name of the store, here's what went on, serve it to the person, snap a photo of it, so you have a record and a document.  

21:38. Get them to acknowledge it in some way.  Incident report becomes an element in a cause of action.  A Cause of Action means you CAN sue them, but you don't have to.  Include a one-half-page letter to the CEO, the Chief Counsel, this is an attorney now and his job is to manage risk for the ENTIRE COMPANY.  He measures out the insurance rates, consults with the insurance companies, and tells the store what its policy should be regarding . . . spills.  

Document it and you're halfway there.  But you also want to get the person who is responsible for that facility, for the premises at that time.  You'd be surprised.  We went ti Planet Obstacle recently and the cashier want me and my 2 little girls to wear masks.  And I asked, "Are you the manager for this facility right now?"  He says yeah.  I said are you responsible for the entire facility at this time?  Then he weighed it and said yeah.  That means something to these people.  Okay, you're requiring medical intervention for me and my two daughters.  So if I act upon your medical intervention and have them wear a mask like you're saying, and they go out and play and you've not conducted any medical examination, so you don't know their medical history at all, nor are you competent . .  is there a physician on-site?  So are you willing to accept the responsibility and liability if one of my daughters collapses in an unconscious state?  Do you have insurance for this?  

He said, look, you guys don't have ti do all that stuff.  He was going to let us come in for free.  

I'll pay.  I just want to see where we are here with liability.  Next thing he knew, all the kids in the place took their masks off and had a good time.  Parents took their masks off because they saw my family without their masks on, so . . . .

24:09.  So bring the store manager over and get that person to identify, and admit, that he or she is responsible for that entire property.  Then you get them to say, "Okay, are you denying me services now?" and Because the reason is that I am unable to wear a mask, or am unwilling because it violates my religious convictions.  And no matter what, no matter what they, they're going to deny you the service, you're done.  Then leave.  You don't have to push it to where the police come.  

24:45  The other day, the police did show up because the manager was flustered.  While he called the police, other customers heard the conversation and they came out and said, "Yeah, this is crazy.  We shouldn't be doing this."  this was at Sprouts.  I went with a client, who was in the area.  Cop arrives and asks if they're the guys the manager called about, and he said yeah, and the cop said, well, have a nice day.  

25:35  ***If the police are called, that is cause for more damages.  The cause is exacerbating the situation unnecessarily.  He didn't need to do that.  There was no . . . 

25:50  When a business is open to the public, it has its own policies.  They can make their own policies, but they still have to be within the confines of the law.  They can't run, which they're trying to do, a demonic cult, right?  They can't make you take an aspirin or a line of cocaine as a condition of coming into the store, right?  They can't make those kinds of policies obviously.  Sure you guys can make whatever policy you want but you still can't break the law.  You're not your own legislative body.   

26:45  Peggy:  Police show up and say, "Store policy, store policy."  I never want to hear that again.  Bring the NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION WITH YOU WHENEVER YOU ARE GOING OUT.  Add the name of the manager.  You're very calm, you're polite, and you say, "Hey, I just want to be sure that you're requiring a medical intervention, so are you the physician on staff?" and they'll go "No."  Can I talk to the person in charge of the facility?  They come over and you confirm, "So, you're in charge of the entire facility at this time?" and they will either say yes or no.  You get their name as well and say "I just want to see where we are here with liability because you're requiring me and my kids to wear a mask, and you know, you're not their doctor, you haven't examined them, so I want to make sure that if something bad happens--do you have the liability to handle this?  Don't blow it out of proportion.  Hopefully, it's not going to escalate to where the police come.  If they deny you, you fill out that INCIDENT REPORT, which you will use when you do the CAUSE OF ACTION, which might be suing, it might not, but if they call the police, that actually makes your case even stronger because that was an unnecessary action.  If they charge you with trespassing and they ask you to leave, it's a good idea to leave.  You don't want to damage your stance by being belligerent, or by causing a public nuisance, but you want to have the strongest course of action possible.  If you are being harassed . . . I've had a Healthy American member who was being pelted with walnuts in bulk, someone taking a clump of them and throwing them at them.  That's assault.  And that's when you call the sheriff and you say I'm reporting a crime in progress.  

30:15  Think of it as a Slip and Fall.  That's exactly the liability that that property owner or manager has.  Now sometimes they're covered, and sometimes they're not because there's an issue of negligence for which they would not be covered.  An example would be breaking the law and resulting in an injury.  So here's an example.  I walk into a store, and the guy with a mask says, "You must have a mask or else you can't come in here," and he blocks my way.  Okay, that's a crime right there.  What crime?  Because the moment I have a civil cause of action, I also have a criminal cause of action.  

31:00  Florida statutes, 687 or 681, if you're wearing a mask, usually that's not a problem.  In some jurisdictions, or in some cases, that is a problem to wear a mask, or it used to be.  If you're wearing a mask now, and you're doing a certain thing, that is literally a crime.  [Okay, John, I need specifics here.]  That's a 2nd-degree misdemeanor in Florida.  So a person who's an employee of a business who is standing at the entrance, who gets in your way and says you can't come in here unless you do a thing, whatever that is, that's a crime.  It's also an assault.  I'm not saying these people need to be prosecuted, but just realize what your rights are and what their obligations are, and realize what the law is.  It's assault when you feel intimidated by someone wearing a mask.  That's the definition of assault.  That's a trespass on you.  It's called a TRESPASS ON THE PERSON.  There are a lot of trespass issues, so let me explain how that works.  

32:24  When you're walking into a retail place of businesses open to the public, it is not a private membership association; it's not a private club.  It's open to everybody, whoever you are.  Obviously, you've got to wear clothes, right?  Obviously, there are standards that we have: you have to have shirts and shoes.  It is not trespass when you're in a public building and the manager tells you to leave for any reason.  If the manager calls the cops, and the cops tell you to leave, the cop can then give you a trespass warning . . . .  They can make it to where you can never go back there unless you want to be arrested.  That has to do with how the legislature wrote the language in the statute.  You can get out of that, but you have to argue the case.  You've got to be in court.  I recommend avoiding that but understand this: when you go into a store, you have an irrevocable license to be there.  Why?  Because it's open to the public.  It's an irrevocable license.  A license is the privilege of being there.  The privilege was extended by all the investors, store owners, and managers that opened the store up and said, "Hey, guys, come on in and buy our stuff."  That's the privilege.  Now, if I go over to my neighbor's house next door and open the door and walk into his kitchen, open the fridge and get some pudding or something, that I don't have a privilege for.  He can shoot me for that.  

34:00  I do have that privilege at Publix.  So, for someone to come along and impose illegal requirements or act in an unlawful way is a trespass against you.  You are not trespassing.  Now because you have an irrevocable license does not mean that you can do anything you want.  If you disrupt the business or you hassle people, make a scene . . . you have to really hassle people.  If you call the manager for help on something, that's not really harassing anybody even though the manager may not want to talk to you.  But because you have an irrevocable license, it's not trespass unless there is a violation, and that's a keyword.  For example, if someone calls the cops on you, the cops understand this part of it.  they're trained differently.  Sometimes you can talk to them if you want to talk to them.  Understand that you have an irrevocable right to be there, so if the cops show up . . . and let's say that you were shopping and someone decides to call the cops on you even though you've done nothing, if the police say, "Look, the manager called us and says that you're trespassing,  [35:11] and he wants you to leave, your response would be "Has there been a violation?"  And you'll watch the police officer--he knows what that is.  You're trying to persuade anyone; I'm not trying to win an argument with a cop.  What you're trying to do is document what is going on here.  "I talked to Officer Jones, on this date, at this time, apparently the manager called the police on me while I was shopping.  At the time, the store was open to the public, as they always are, and I asked the officer if he had any evidence of any violation, "Do you have evidence of any violation?"  Am I being accused of violating the public peace, breaching the peace, harassing anyone, what type of violation is it, Officer?  Now, you're not trying to be flippant with him or anything.  You literally want to know.  See what his response is and make a record of this.  You've got to write it down, take a picture, do a voice recording onto your phone.   If there's been no violation, there is no trespass.  There is no trespass unless there's a violation.  

37:00  When the cops come out, you can be removed if there is a violation or if there is no violation.  And if you want to challenge it, there are causes of action that are civil.  You can also challenge it by going the route of getting arrested, which I don't recommend. Not sure you'd win the case if you allowed yourself to get arrested . . .because it's not necessary.  It's a civil matter but you can win on the fact that there's been no violation. 

37:25  And the judge might say to you like, "What's the problem?  Why don't you just leave?  You're in the right but why didn't you just leave?  For example, one store wouldn't let us in, so we left and just shopped elsewhere.  We sued them.  

38:00  So the judge asked, "You sued them, why did you go back there?"  Use your head a little bit and be rational.  So just because you are right, don't act righteously.  Yes, you're right.  I know they're wrong.  Just be patient.  This might take a few months.  Work gets around.  Just 3 people led 15 people.  Here's where we win guys: identify to the organization the financial risk. It's not about like what you see in the movies, where you win a case and like civil action and the jury finds in your favor, and . . . it's not going to happen.  It doesn't work that way.  Most cases do not end up before a jury, and most cases in this country do not go to trial. Most cases are resolved in summary judgment.  So, you document what's going on.  You get the responsible people.  If there's an issue of trespass, realize where there is a trespass.  It's a trespass to the person if you're being threatened or intimidated by someone with a mask.  It's an irrevocable license if you go into a business that's open to the public.    

39:36  There has to be a violation before there is a trespass.   And what's interesting is that there needs to be 2 witnesses.  A cop would be a witness and the store manager.  If there's a violation, there needs to be a witness.  You don't want to be a witness against yourself.  So by engaging in something that is disruptive, you become a witness [40:00] . . . against yourself.  Why do that, right?  [Oh, God.  Had never put that idea into those terms.  Wow.]  Live your life, go through the process, and if you encounter this, understand what your rights are and document what is happening, and then you can take it to the responsible people.  So the next level would be, you would leave the store.  In a lot of places that are providing services would be like a barber shop . . . it's different than a store because they'll tell me to wear a mask at a store, but I'll ignore them.  I mean I'll go in there to buy my stuff and they deny me services; there are only one or two stores that deny me services.  But in a barber shop, the barber can just say, "I'm not going to cut your hair."  It's not so easy; it's not like I'm just going to pick something off the shelf, right?  So in a case like that, if you really like the place, like my dentist, like Peggy did a great thing with the dentist thing . . . I haven't tried that yet.  You talk to the people rationally, "I already took my temperature, I already talked to the dentist, I'm just going to walk down the hallway . . . I'm not going to wear a mask, I feel it's the mark of the beast, or whatever.  

41:00  [PEGGY]  It's not just about the masks.  The reason we're talking about the masks is that you will be denied entry.  This is a test case, a trial balloon.  And somehow, Sprouts raised its hand, and was selected, or appointed to be the most militant of the retail grocery stores, because some are really easy-going.  I've never been denied in Ralph's.  One sweet little girl was following me around, she looked so scared to tell me.  They're being paid to enforce these unenforceable laws.  [Just as hospitals get incentives from Medicare and Medicaid to record a death as COVID and diagnose the flu as COVID, retailers get paid by the government to enforce illegal rules on its paying customers.  It's bigger than the mask.  It's about freedom.  We have free and equal access to public places, to the courts, to schools, health clinics, hair salons, and dentists.  I'm going through it with our local swimming pool and they want to take your temperature.  

Why do you want to take the temperature?  
We're following the guidelines . . . 
And you know the guidelines aren't law, right?  
Yes, we know, but it's our duty to keep everyone safe.  
Oh, safety!!  I have an idea to make it even more safe!!  You don't want me showing up if I have a fever, do you?  
No, that's why we take your temperature.  
How about if I take my own temperature at home?  And if I have a fever, I won't show up.  Wouldn't it be horrible if someone took my temperature and there I was standing in front of them with a fever?  Breathing on them?       

They don't know what to say.  You caught them on it.  If you want to do this Gustapo safety thing, I will give you safety!  Because I'm relentless like you are John, and I'm never going to give up.  If you say this, I'm going to find that.  If they say do X, I'm going to do X.  One of my adages is that there's always another way, and I'm going to find it.  There's always another way.  If you're afraid about the temperature, then I'll take my own temperature.  No, no, we have to see it.  Well, I will take my own temperature with a thermometer that I bought at CVS.  Because I do not give you permission to undertake a medical intervention.  Now, it is a little tricky at the doctor.  The last time I went to the doctor was about a year ago, they did take my temperature and they also took my blood pressure, because I was at the doctor's office.  That, to me, is not as egregious as going to the dentist.  So I called the dentist and gave them the same schpiel, and they said, "Ah, that totally makes sense."  One of them said, "Why don't you just snap a picture of the temperature reading on your phone and send it in?"  That would be more sanitary if I have to sneeze than a mask would be. [45:39]    

Don't lose your cool.  Don't act righteously even though you're in the right.  Because this is about the long game.  I am astonished that people.  46:30  Got to plan in advance.  Got to know which stores are friendly, which ones are not.  The bigger issue is to not let a business trample over your rights under some pretend banner of "We have the right to refuse service."  Yes, they do but they can refuse you service only if there is an incident.  Don't surrender your rights up freely.  Do not comply.  There is a way to be defiant that will actually serve you.

47:35  

1.  Document what is going on. 

2.  You have an irrevocable license for a place of business.  

3.  There has to be a violation of trespass. 

4.  Don't argue with the cop.  This isn't the place to do it.  

5.  You need 2 witnesses.  


They need it to prosecute a case, but you're never going to get there.  You just want to document everything, and then get out of there.   

The property rights issue we're talking about here is a testing ground to see how many people will give up their rights.  These are property rights, these are not constitutional rights.   You don't have a Constitutional right.  48:22  The Constitution is supposed to restrain government.  We had rights like that before they had written laws.  If we don't stop this, and we don't find those testing grounds, like Sprouts, get them, and put a stop to it now, they're going to conclude that their model is working and all we need to do is spread it out now.  We need to jump on those, and that's why I am doing this.  

48:47  Property Rights.  Okay, this is where most of society is being taxed out of existence.  It's through taxing people's intangible property rights.  An intangible property right is something like deciding what I am going to wear today.  Also, my right for no one to hear a conversation I am having unless I want them to.  That's called a Privacy Right.  Privacy is a property right.  It doesn't come from a law.  It's a human right.  But who defends human rights?  That's why we have all of these written statutes, like the Patients' Bill of Rights.  These are basically telling the insane people, like corporations, right, what rights people already have and what restrictions you have, you insane corporation.  BTW, corporations are defined as insane persons.   

PEGGY, 49:50  Laws are not written to give you rights.  Laws are written to restrict those from violating your rights.  

We're all born with God-given rights.  Property rights [your body] and privacy right [preference for exclusion].  And these other Bill of Rights are there to explain to others clearly so they understand where the line is and they may not violate those rights.  

We're not just trying to cause trouble in society.  There's something else going on here, and we realize that.  Viruses are not contagious between people anyways.  COVID-19 is not a virus; it doesn't exist.  it's never been isolated.  There are no documents on it.  Someone has patented it, I believe this CDC, has patented the genetic material that they modified and they called it COVID-19.  The human body has about 18 Coronaviruses.  The human body makes coronaviruses to clean itself.  They cannot, do not, travel in the air, they're not in a place, you don't have to wipe everything down all the time, don't wash your hands with sanitizers.  Ther's methanol in that; that'll kill you.  About 70 to 90 brands have methanol in them.  That's the other part of this: COVID-19 is not a contagious virus.  and viruses are not contagious between people, bacteria are but not viruses.  A virus is a cleaning agent made by your human body.  It's like saying, "Ooh, we found that everybody has red blood cells."  

52:40 PEGGY  Take away cholesterol, and it induces Alzheimer's.  My dad died at the hands of medical terrorism.  The reason it's important to explain this stuff, friends, is there's a larger agenda at work, and we have to be on our toes, be on our toes about the medicine, about the science, about the social implications, and our focus today is on the legal remedies.  [This is a Florida department] 

53:30  JOHN, We can do this at any place where you're having this problem.  You can do this with anyone.  There is always an intake form for the Department of Health.  Now the Department of Health is behind this scam.  But the Department of Health is supposed to police situations where people who are not authorized or licensed are giving medical advice.  Brief story:  we went to Applebee's the other day, and we couldn't sit down without wearing a mask.  Of course, I'm not going to do that.  I'll never do that, so my wife just called up another Applebee's and we went to the other one and we were fine.  So I do the thing I always do, I ask for the floor managers, but in this case, the guy was the General Manager.  Got him to admit, yeah, you can't wear a mask.  So I documented all that.  So I filed a complaint with the Department of Health on their own form, explaining that there's an employee at AppleBee's restaurant who is requiring patrons to undertake a medical intervention as a condition of patronizing the restaurant.  So I filled out this form and sent it to the DOH, they called me a couple days later to ask "What's up with the complaint at Applebee's?  I said it concerns a restaurant.  She said for that I would have to contact the Department of Business and Professional Regulation [This is a Florida department.]  Well, I already know that.  And I know who I'm supposed to be calling.  Well, actually this concerns Section 456.065, and she goes "Oh, really?"  I said yeah, there's an individual at the store who is imposing medical interventions as a condition for patronizing the restaurant.  And she goes, "Well, we definitely need to see all the facts on that."  So she goes, "Let us review everything and let us get back to you."  So the DOH is behind pushing this, and so is the Department of Business.  They're probably doing that in your state too.  It's not just the DOH, [55:34] they're using other agencies.  And now they're supposed to prevent people from giving medical advice who are not trained and qualified, insured, and licensed and all this stuff.  Do you know why there's licensing?  To get licensing, you're affecting the public.  You don't need a license to cut grass, but you do need a license to advertise to cut grass for someone else because you're open to the public because there's a risk to the public, so licensing allows the government body to regulate it, it also allows insurance carriers to gauge [56:08] their risk.  Because you've succeeded in getting a license, therefore, you must be insurable.  It all works together.  It really works well.  Sometimes, I don't like the licensing issue, it does work pretty well as long as it's not abused.  So when you have someone who is completely not licensed, who would never qualify for a license who's engaging in this, it would be like a person who is playing with fire at a daycare center.  That's how insurance looks at it.  [56:32]  So by filing a complaint with the Department of Health over violations of unlicensed practicing medicine, also denying you informed consent in that situation is another legal violation.  I don't know if it's an "unlicensed to practice medicine," but it is a legal violation in the medical area.  Informed consent requires that you be informed before you are given a chance to consent or not.  So you cannot be informed of a medical procedure unless you've been given all the pertinent information that's available to the physician who is going to consult with you.  You cannot have informed consent unless there's a licensed physician.  So a store manager, a restaurant owner, not going to [cut] do it, so you're already denied informed consent.  Along with the illegal medical intervention.  I mean that's a big issue.  Informed consent, you can slam on that all day long.  It's a big liability.  So now you've got a particular license to engage in, they have permission, to sell a thing to people in general.  But they're engaged in this activity over here where thes another set of licensing that they don't have, and they don't have qualifications.  [57:51The other issue is that they have no duty, a restaurant has no duty to protect the public.  You want to point that out to them.  This is another item you want to bring up to "the attention of," and you'll see this in the letter.  You bring that to the attention of the Risk Manager, the Chief Counsel for the Organization.  They have no duty to protect the public, but yet they're acting in that capacity.  Moreover, they don't just have zero duty to protect the public, they don't even have the capacity to protect the public.  And that language I am telling you right now comes from case law.  Go see the case law.  This is what judges have been saying for 50 years or a 100 years.  You have to have a duty to protect the public.  You have to have the capacity to protect the public.  That means you have to have the funding, the training, the equipment, and you have to be insured really.  The qualifications to engage in that activity.  If I saw a fire in my neighborhood, I couldn't just go over there and start putting it out . . . I mean I probably could but I really shouldn't.  I'm not qualified.  I don't understand all that stuff.  I'm not a fireman, so . . . that's why we have these restrictions.  Even if there was a pandemic, the law is still the same.  It doesn't repeal laws.  See, they have a problem.  You have the Dept of Health which is supposed to police the unlicensed practice of medicine yet they're pushing the unlicensed practice of medicine.  [59:16] We need to follow many, many complaints.  Because here's what happens.  You have an insurance liability for the one who is doing it for the entire business on that property, again, it's like a slip and fall, maybe a little bit worse.  But then you have a liability for your county and your state, probably your city, because they have a liability for pushing this.  They're part of it.  And I don't know what that liability is yet, but we're going to talk about how to address that too.  [59:47]  Okay, so now you have a Civil Liability where you get into the issue of  . . . religious convictions where you cannot be denied services because of a religious convictions.  You can't be denied services because of a disability if you're in a wheelchair, whatever.  So we all know that.  You have your different state laws.  And, of course, they're actionable.  There's a private right of action, which means you can sue under that particular statute, like in California like Peggy is talking about.  It's California Civil Code 51.  We have one here, it's Florida Statute 760, almost word for word.  And you can sue under that.  The way you sue though is that you don't just sue somebody.  You have to document it and then you have to try to work it out.  So you got to send them a letter, and tell them, "Hey guys, you messed up.  I'll give you a chance to fix it, let's work this out."  [100:35]  But you also need to send a letter to the administrative agency that is supposed to oversee this type of violation.  Normally, it'll be the Human Rights Commission, and you'll see my example here in these notes.  So there's a letter here . . . I didn't do a screenshot.  Like in the Sprouts example, we can bring in the state's . . . .  Page 5.  The subject of the letter is "Complaint for Unlawful Discrimination."  If you state your case properly, you're probably going to get the remedy you want without going to court.  They don't want to go to court.  I mean they don't want to go to court any more than you do.  It's expensive.  For them, it's really expensive.  If you go to court by yourself, you might pay like $500 in filing fees over a period of a year.  For those guys, it's literally like $50,000.  And as much as I don't like to, sometimes I win just because of the cost of litigation, and I would really like to win on the merits of the case.  But this will work in our favor, so you present it like this.  Here's my general statement here.  I went and got their own policy.  I copied the pertinent sections.  [102:15]  I printed every single page and put it in a binder.  If you have to do this, let's do this, right?  It was fun.  It was empowering.  I'd go in there with a binder.  The store manager runs over.  We had this conversation.  I said okay, "So you guys have a policy about mask-wearing?  He goes "Yeah."  I said, "Can you show me which page it is?"  It's like he couldn't believe I had . . . you know.  So he goes, "It's not in there."  So I said, "Can I see your updated one?" So he comes back with a piece of paper.  He's waving a piece of paper.  In black and white it says, "All Customers Must Wear a Mask."  I have to take it at face value.  So then I asked him, "This says that.  This is your policy.  This part of your policy says that you have to respect these issues, which are here."  Of course, he didn't respond to that; I didn't want to argue with the guy.  Why not bring a case against them, not for violating your civil rights, I mean we all know you have civil rights and stuff like that.  But why not get an injunction against them for something that they already admit to?  Why not bring a case where there really shouldn't be a dispute once the store sees the case and the case is I am suing you so that you all have to comply with your own policy?  So what are they going to say, "That's not our policy.  It's secret?" If you have a secret policy, that's not a store policy.  It has to be public because you're open to the public.  Just like the vaccine court.  Or the FISA Court.  Those are not courts even though they call them courts.  It's because they're secret.  There's no such thing as a secret court.  So there's no such thing as an unwritten or secret policy when it comes to issues from public business.  So when you sue them for an injunction against violating their own policy that incorporates all the laws they're supposed to follow, it makes it into one single issue which allows you the chance to win on summary judgment.  A Siummary Judgment says to the judge, "Hey Judge, you knliow what?  They've already admitted they have this certain policy, they've already admitted that thy've violated it, so I just want a sumary judgment because there's no controversy here."  

[104:47]  To confirm, John, an Injunction means that they will stop doing this action.  That's what an injunction is.  

[104:52]  Yeah, it enjoins them from breaking their own policy, they've violated their own policy, so the court would order them to comply with their own policy.  And don't ask for money.  I mean you can, but I would recommend not.  I don't think you should.  I just think that you should get Equitable Relief, which is an injuction.  And I think you can do it within 90 days.  We'll see.  I'am about to file one against Sprouts.  Is that the one where you brought your own handbook?  Yeah.  I told them, "Hey, I'll meet you down there on Monday, I want to document eerything."  I thought we were going to get out of there with our groceries.  I thought I was going to get some black cherry juice stuff and other things.  Now we have a perfect case.  We've got all the facts, and the case is basically what you're seeing here.   

[106:22]  You have the Human Rights Commission, or whatever it is in your state.  Send your letter there.  Articulate the thing.  Use my letter.  Use the language.  That is what you do when you send the company the pre-suit medication notice.  The note that says, "Hey, I was just at your store.  You did this thing.  It was wrong I thought.  And I'm sending you this letter to see if you can work this out.  And send it to the Chief Counsel and send it to the store manager.  Then send your report to the Department of Health, and send a letter to the Human Rights Commission, your state agency.  My recommendation on that is that you DON'T let the Chief Counsel of the organization, or the store manager, know that you're complaining to the State, like the Department of Health.  Don't let them know that because I think that it's in your interest that you want them to make a decision quickly.   And if they see that you've sent a letter to a state agency, the attorney might just say, "I"m going to wait and see what happens there," because a lot of them are afraid to make a decision.  So I want them to make a decision as soon as possible and in the background, I'm going to file these complaints where I can these letters, okay?  

BUSINESSES MEASURING OXYGEN LEVELS?  [107:25] The other health issue is that and it has been demonstrated [and you guys can look for this through the internet] you'll see where people have been measuring the oxygen levels and the mask-wearing.  There's a letter back from 2007, that was sent to OSHA, and an enforcement officer was talking about the science behind a particular regulation that I mention here.  This is an OSHA reg that covers the process by which an employer would make an employer or organization would make someone wear a mask on site.  29CFR.1910.134.  Certain precautions that have to be taken.  A physician has to be involved.  The person being told to wear a mask has to give his consent.  Even then you still can't make someone wear a mask.  

[108:17]  Peggy:  They're testing us.  They're seeing that people are compliant.  They're doubling down.  It's like California is one of the test states for the nation, like Hawaii is, New York, and others.  The other thing is they want to see . . . they have all of this written down, too.  They've told us that they're going to use test cases.  That they're going to say who is compliant and who is going to push back and all of that is in writing.  And the beauty of this is even with all of these regulations, and California is the leader in regulations, is you've made the bed.  You've given us all of this.  And your idea of filing the violations with the Health Department is brilliant because they are the very ones who are supposedly giving out the guidelines, and I believe that some of these health officers are going to start back peddling or they're resigning.  We've seen many of the Department of Health Directors resign in California.  I think it was Ohio, Connecticut, Oregon, and Colorado.  They've been falling like dominoes. And Healthy Americans, helps me, how many state and county health officers in your state have resigned or have just been appointed?  Many of these . . . when they realize they're placeholders, they don't want to go to prison.     

[110:00]  These guys are going down.  I just reported every member of my City Council for disaster fraud. 

[110:00]  All of these documents Peggy has at the Healthy American.  These are the tools you're going to use going forward: you're going to use them against vaccination, you're going to use them against contact tracing, you're going to use it against testing, you're going to use it at your workplace.  What about the courts who require you  to wear a mask inside the courtroom?  Understand property rights, privacy rights, irrevocable rights, and places of public accommodation.  

[112:30]  The Chief Judge is the person responsible for the courthouse.  And you want to in advance send a letter to the Chief Judge and let him know that he is accepting liability and responsibility, and that I have a whole list of things that he's going to be liable for.  You just put him on notice.  You don't need his consent at all.  You just tell him.  

[112:55] This is the OSHA regs.  29CFR.1910.134.  OSHA spent decades, since the 1970s, studying the science behind keeping workers safe mostly. And that has to do with wearing equipment that restricts air flow or oxygen. 

[113:10] Immediately when you put a mask on, it violates OSHA Safety Regulation the moment you put it on .  And the longer you keep it on, you increase the chance of you getting bacterial infections, like pleursy Legionairre's Disease and Streptococcus.  You're goint to see a lot of people with welts and infeections on their face.  This in itself is a safety violation.  Imagine if you file a copmlant with the DOH for them to puportedly requiring them to violate healtha nd safety laws and theyre in charge of health and safety, who's above the Department of Health?  More than likely it's going to be your State Attorney Gernal's office, and that's the person who prosecutes people for crimes.  That's the person who would prosecute somebody for dumpring toxic waste or polluting the water, you know, things like that.  So your next step up is the AG's office.  You need to document what's going on and you need to notify the DOH.  I mean all of us on this call could file 10 of these this week.  Just go to DOH, look for "Unlicensed Practice of Medicine," download the form, fill it out . . . .  Mail it in.  Just flood them with it.  

[114:36]  Peggy:  And that's going to go agaisnt Sprouts, the swimming pool manager, local hair salon, your dentist, mechanic, We're trying to get the Dept. of Health to stop breathing down your neck.  

How to Sue Sprouts or Other Businesses.  This is the only way to get businesses to abide by the law, by your civil rights, and maintain some civility in society.  Sad but these companies commit terrible acts.  

LETTERS

Notice of Discrimination

To start the preliminary documentation and preliminary notifications to a company, start with these letters.  

Discriminated against?  It can happen to the best of us.  See Item #3 here

Okay, when it comes to defending your civil rights, what you're doing is relying on the federal code 1964 U.S. Civil Rights law

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is federal civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination in numerous settings including employment, education, voting, and public accommodations.

“SEC. 201. (a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.

See if this advances your understanding, your actions, and your strategy.

MUST-LISTEN: Audio: Hero Nurse Records Hospital Officials Violating Their Own Policy, The Nuremberg Code and The Law.

MUST-LISTENNurse Kim Carter recorded her termination meeting on November 2nd, 2023 with Select Medical Hospital in Cincinnati Ohio for mask refusal and enforcement.  

SUMMARY

Kim is not jabbed and knows the harms of the masks and the shots, regardless of the type of shot. She has warned her co-workers, including Dean Blevins (CEO), Lauren Alexander (Human Resources Director), and Jennifer Dreher (APRN, CNO.) well in advance. Kim also submitted her religious exemption to them with peer-reviewed, referenced, proof of harm. Her religious exemption was denied.

Kim was sent home on Monday, October 30th, 2023, and then returned to work on Thursday, November 2nd, 2023. This was the date of the meeting and the recording.

Kim learned of the recent FDA safety signal (regarding the taking of both the COVID shot and the Flu shot), which dropped on the 29th of October, then she warned them on the 30th, the next day. Kim has always warned her co-workers about the harm of masks and shots, and how informed consent is not being given to the patients or the employees.

As a House Shift Supervisor, she was told to enforce Select Medical’s reimplemented mask policy for those who have not taken a flu shot. Their policy is that if you take the flu shot, you don’t need to wear a mask. If you don’t take the flu shot, you have to wear a mask and force others to do so.

Kim refused, based on religious beliefs and medical facts.

They sent Kim home to silence her. Then, she went back on the 2nd of November and they used her religious beliefs about the mask to further silence her, then they terminated her on Friday, November 3rd of 2023.

In this meeting on November 2nd, 2023, Kim was in a room with Dean Blevins (the CEO), Lauren Alexander (Human Resources Director), and Jennifer Dreher, APRN, CNO (the lady on the phone in the recording).

Kim recorded this meeting.

Above is her recording.

Kim is a friend of mine, a mother, and a patriot of the highest order. She has witnessed atrocities at former hospitals where she’s worked and former nursing homes as well, specifically from 2020 up to the current day.

If you can assist Kim in her legal battle, with any legal referrals or legal advice, please reach out to me at:  americaneducationfm@protonmail.com.  

TRANSCRIPT

1:38. So we just wanted to follow up from our last conversation and make sure you're doing okay, and then kind of go from there.  [Insincere: trying to disarm his audience]

1:46. We wanted to touch base with you before you got here.  We left you a voicemail . . . [Getting to business; tries to establish authority in conversation]

1:50. Yeah, I don't know what happened with that [questioning & indicting his intentions]  

1:51. That's okay [Bevins trying to buy back some creds with her; he's failing and flailing]

1:59. How are you feeling.

2:00. I'm still very concerned and I don't know how to make that and I don't know how to make that concern go away because those are significant safety signals I don't know how I'm supposed to feel I feel the way that I feel.

2:18. So I guess from my standpoint my question to you is do you think that you're able to lead the floor as a house supervisor?  Like knowing what you know, knowing where our patients are at, knowing where our staff is at [with] enforcing the mask with the people that don't have the flu shot, do you feel that you're able to leave the floor?

2:45. That's what I've been doing I mean and I'm not going to enforce a mask when I don't know what their religious standpoint is or what their medical standpoint is that's none of my business that's a HIPAA thing.

2:58. But that's a job requirement as a leader.

3:00. You are too enforce the mask when you know that people don't have the vaccine.

3:06. But I don't know because it's medical information that I'm not privy to

3:12. We provide a list of the house supervisor . . . 

3:13. So you're violating people's Medical information

3:17. We don't know what they're

3:18. If you're giving me a list, you're providing me with your personal medical information.  You're violating HIPAA.

3:23. We're following our select policy

3:24. And your select policy is violating your own corporate policy I mean I don't know what you guys want me to do but you're asking me to break the law and I'm not okay with that.

3:35. I just told you what we want . . . 

3:35. So you're asking me to break the law

3:37. We're not breaking the law.

3:38. You are breaking the law . . .

3:39. We're following our policies from slot[?]

3:40. And HIPAA is very clear, and you're breaking HIPPA. 

3:48. No because every leader gets [a list of] who is vaccinated who isn't vaccinated every hospital.

3:50.  But that is not . . . that is their medical history.  Providing somebody with a medical procedure is medical history.

3:58. Kim, we're not going to continue to do this, like this is everywhere, every hospital, every leadership team you get how many people are vaccinated, what vaccination they have, what they're getting, and we have to enforce on the floor our policy.  Our policy is that you wear a mask if you do not have the flu vaccine.

4:16. Okay well I've already given you guys my religious beliefs and my religious exemption and that's where I stand.  I don't know what anybody else is medical status is.

4:26. I wasn't submitting that to you because I was looking for acceptance.  You, you have no right to accept or deny my religious beliefs. You have no right.

Does wearing a medical/surgical mask or cloth face covering cause unsafe oxygen levels or harmful carbon dioxide levels to the wearer? OSHA says No.


Joining Peggy Hall are Bill Van Zyverden of Vermont and John Jay Singleton of Florida.  Find Peggy's legal documents at the Healthy American's webpage 

LIABILITY

17:46  Business owners, because they think it’s private property, that they can make whatever rules they want.  I don’t understand how they believe that it’s unlimited.  Obviously, the rules you make for operating your store have to comply with the law.  Maybe they don’t get proper consultation advising them of the law. 

But really when you’re in that position, and you want to require someone to undertake a thing, that will affect his health one way or the other—a medical device, medical intervention—moreover, I mean that’s why physicians have insurance, because they have to be held accountable.  But imagine someone who cannot provide informed consent because he’s not a physician. He’s just a private property owner, a business owner, employee, so for him to recommend a medical intervention, he has to be willing to accept the liability that may happen from that.  You can’t just tell somebody to go off and do something and then not be responsible for it, especially if you’re requiring it, which you really shouldn’t be, if you’re breaking the law to require it.  It’s one of their big weaknesses; they cannot get insurance for this liability.  BTW, let me add just one more thing.  On the airlines, here’s a great example, and I forgot which one it is

If you’re a private property owner and you tell someone to engage in a medical intervention, you have to the liability for that.  What happens is they pass out or faint?  Does the property owner have the liability for that?

When you want to require someone to undertake a thing that will affect his health one way or the other, a medical device as medical intervention.  Imagine someone who cannot provide informed consent because he’s not a physician, he’s just a private property owner, business owner, an employee, for him to recommend medical intervention, he has to be willing to accept the liability that may happen from that intervention.  You can’t just tell somebody to go off and do something and then not be responsible for that.  Especially if you’re requiring, you’re breaking the law to require it.  They cannot get insurance for this.  On the airlines, and this is a great example of this.  I think it’s section 205 of title XIV of the CFR, and what it says is the airlines have to provide a certification to the department of transportation, that they have sufficient insurance to carry on their business, and, of course, they have to provide for the safety of the passengers and whomever else, but that pertains to aviation; it doesn’t pertain to medical care.  So they can never meet the certification requirements to engage now in the medical testing and everything else they want to do with the medical aspect of it.  They have to certify their medical insurance.  19:20. 

Some managers and store owners will say in defense of the mask, that if someone in their store catches this disease that the store will be liable.  [John is shaking his head.]  

20:20  California actually has a law for you to be able to sue someone if they give you a communicable disease.  The law came out as a backlash during the AIDS era, and it was designed to create some level of scrutiny for a plaintiff to come forward and say, "Well, my ex-boyfriend gave me AIDS."  And the courts and the plaintiff would have to be able to prove that that was the case.  And here's the issue:  one, you have to know that you have this disease, and how would anyone know they have COVID without any standards for identifying it?  Two, you have to willfully seek to transmit it to another person.  Didn't realize that people can develop dental and skin problems from wearing a mask.  Where does this fit in with an employee who is required to wear a mask?  Excellent question.  

22:30  The store owner's liability.  It's important that we help the store.  

The central issue with regard to masks is twofold: one, people should be able to shop for food freely, mask-free and free of harassment from both store owners and their customers.  Two, free people have the right to work freely, unemcumbered by masks.  Peggy Hall has provided you, me, and everyone else with documents and webpages to press the case on your behalf to secure these rights without reprisal.  In this vain, she has posted some legal remedies.  For work, your remedy is to contact the OSHA branch in your state and file a workplace safety complaint.  She advises you to include the following items in a complaint to OSHA: 

WEARING A MASK VIOLATES THE “GENERAL RULE” and CREATES A WORKPLACE SAFETY HAZARD for these reasons:

1.   Masks obstruct your breathing, possibly bringing it below the OSHA-established levels of oxygen in the atmosphere of 19.5% — thus increasing risk of “IDLH” — Immediate Danger to Life and Health

2.   Masks obscure your vision, increasing the hazard of workplace injuries because of impaired vision.

3.   Masks obscure your verbal communication, increasing the hazard of workplace injuries. Someone might yell, “Danger” but you could not hear it because of the muffles voice under the mask.

4.   Cloth masks increase risk of FIRE HAZARD, with your face going up in flames.

5.   Face Shields increase glare, which can increase risk of vision problems.

6. There is no statutory law or regulation that requires wearing a mask, face covering or face shield, aside from other PPE that might be required in certain industries.

If you are INTIMIDATED or HARASSED by your employer, you can seek legal help with an employment attorney in your own state.  

In California, Larry H. Parker law offices will offer a free consultation and if they take your case, you only pay if there is a settlement. 562-427-2044

This is the part that makes me feel helpless, because what's going to happen is that you're going to get released.  No employer is going to stop their operations solely on your behalf.  None.  

Here OSHA answers the question, at least from a legal standpoint, whether surgical masks lower oxygen.  Their website states: 

Does wearing a medical/surgical mask or cloth face covering cause unsafe oxygen levels or harmful carbon dioxide levels to the wearer?

No. Medical masks, including surgical masks, are routinely worn by healthcare workers throughout the day as part of their personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles and do not compromise their oxygen levels or cause carbon dioxide buildup. They are designed to be breathed through and can protect against respiratory droplets, which are typically much larger than tiny carbon dioxide particles. Consequently, most carbon dioxide particles will either go through the mask or escape along the mask's loose-fitting perimeter. Some carbon dioxide might collect between the mask and the wearer's face, but not at unsafe levels.

Like medical masks, cloth face coverings are loose-fitting with no seal and are designed to be breathed through. In addition, workers may easily remove their medical masks or cloth face coverings periodically (and when not in close proximity with others) to eliminate any negligible build-up of carbon dioxide that might occur. Cloth face coverings and medical masks can help prevent the spread of potentially infectious respiratory droplets from the wearer to their co-workers, including when the wearer has COVID-19 and does not know it.

Some people have mistakenly claimed that OSHA standards (e.g., the Respiratory Protection standard, 29 CFR 1910.134; the Permit-Required Confined Space standard 29 CFR 1910.146; and the Air Contaminants standard, 29 CFR 1910.1000) apply to the issue of oxygen or carbon dioxide levels resulting from the use of medical masks or cloth face coverings in work settings with normal ambient air (e.g. healthcare settings, offices, retail settings, construction). These standards do not apply to the wearing of medical masks or cloth face coverings in work settings with normal ambient air). These standards would only apply to work settings where there are known or suspected sources of chemicals (e.g., manufacturing facilities) or workers are required to enter a potentially dangerous location (e.g., a large tank or vessel). 

Is this a case closed type of judgment?  I don't think that OSHA is going to concede that surgical masks cause brain damage or dental damage or social isolation.  

this is interesting that OSHA addresses retaliation.  

RETALIATION

What can I do if my employer fires me or takes other action against me for raising workplace safety and health concerns related to COVID-19?

Section 11(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 660(c)) prohibits employers from retaliating against workers for exercising a variety of rights guaranteed under the law, such as filing a safety or health complaint with OSHA, raising a health and safety concern with their employers, participating in an OSHA inspection, or reporting a work-related injury or illness. Additionally, OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Program enforces the provisions of more than 20 industry-specific federal laws protecting employees from retaliation for raising or reporting concerns about hazards or violations of various airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental, financial reform, food safety, health insurance reform, motor vehicle safety, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, securities, and tax laws.

If you believe you have suffered such retaliation, submit a complaint to OSHA as soon as possible in order to ensure that you file the complaint within the legal time limits, some of which may be as short as 30 days from the date you learned of or experienced retaliation. An employee can file a complaint with OSHA by visiting or calling his or her local OSHA office; sending a written complaint via fax, mail, or email to the closest OSHA office; or filing a complaint online. No particular form is required and complaints may be submitted in any language.
