Firsthand Report on Sacramento Rally Against Emergency Health Powers Act
A small group of protesters voiced their opposition to the Emergency Health Powers Act which they feared might be bulldozed through in the wake on another "terrorist" attack that the Bush Administration might use to justify expanding the war at home and abroad.
Opposing the Emergency Health Powers Act
(at the Sacramento Capitol building, March 21, 2002)
Mike Ruppert spoke about the Model Emergency Health Powers Act in San Francisco while presenting his research on “The Truth and Lies of 9-11.” Another “terrorist” attack would very conveniently allow the U.S. to shove through this dreadful legislation in the same manner that The Patriot Bill slipped though- without public scrutiny. A few of us were concerned enough that we met, shared what we knew, and decided to hold a rally and visit our legislators.
We honestly chose to act quickly, because we were concerned that “a bio-terrorist attack” was planned for Easter, to be “blamed” on Iraq and escalate the war at home and abroad into “a holy war” (though in reality, the war would be more like the global elite against the vast majority of the world’s people- including their greatest threat- an informed American citizenry). Even if we were completely wrong in our analysis, it would do no harm to cast more light on the Emergency Health Powers Act which was just introduced into the California legislature on January 8th by Assembly Member Richman (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/).
The California Bill (Number 1763) based upon Model Emergency Health Powers Act, gives the Governor authority to declare a state of public health emergency without consulting anyone and without any accountability, not even to the Legislature. It gives power to the State or an unelected Public Health Director to-
Require any individual to be vaccinated (contrary to the Nuremberg Code.) Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine. Quarantine or isolation may be imposed without prior informed consent; without consideration of personal beliefs, prior medical conditions or contraindications; and without any provision to keep families together, including keeping children with their parents or legal guardians during quarantine or isolation.
Require any individual to undergo specific medical treatment. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine.
Seize any property, including real estate, food, medicine, fuel or clothing, an official thinks necessary to handle the emergency.
Seize and destroy any property alleged to be hazardous. There will be no compensation or recourse.
Draft you or your business into state service.
Impose rationing, price controls, quotas and transportation controls.
Suspend any state law, regulation or rule that is thought to interfere with handling the declared emergency.
It also requires pharmacists to report data on over-the-counter sales, and customer information that pharmacists are not required to obtain under current law (proposed Section 130380, 130382, & 130384).
Calls for mandatory immunizations.
Gives police powers over medical professionals, medical facilities, and ordinary citizens to the Department of Health Services, to local government agencies responsible for protecting the public's health, and to any person designated by them
Ignores the California Emergency Services Act and all other existing laws, including provisions in the Health and Safety Code, which are in place and have been proven effective to address potential and actual emergencies that could affect public health.
In just a few days, we pulled together documents, sent out press releases, spread the word through the internet, scheduled meetings with our legislator’s staffs, and hoped that via word of mouth, people would join us at the Capitol steps. I did one radio interview and two television stations phoned to learn more about our “rally.”
Not surprisingly, public space is not as public as one “imagines it to be.” To hold a demonstration at the Capitol, one must obtain a permit at least two weeks in advance. We showed up anyways to claim the sidewalk (which actually is “public space”). We set up a large banner, signs, and a table within view of the West Entrance to the Capitol building. At precisely 10:00 a.m., I held a small, innocuous sign that said “Emergency Health Powers Act Threatens Health, Democracy” and stood on the actual West steps to direct people to our table and the larger banner (which had the same message on one side) and on the other side-
“In Germany first they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me-and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
Pastor Martin Niemoller
NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP!
Of course, security came along and said that I couldn’t even hold a little sign and tried to get me to move back to the sidewalk. Amazing how hard the security forces work to make it hard for people to demonstrate or exercise First Amendment Rights, especially if one has any message which truly challenges the government.
We did pass out lots of flyers (and an 8 page overview of the issues) on the sidewalk. Kevin Danaher joined us briefly. We had some great conversations in between our lobbying efforts. A reporter from KPFA interviewed us, although the television stations didn’t show up. The questions close to our hearts were- “When will people wake up? When will the truth come out? When will we be able to hold elected officials to be accountable for the actions? When will we be able to rein in the unbridled greed of corporations and their servants? When will we be able to make the paradigm shift from a system that depends upon force, fear and greed to control the vast majority, to a system where trust, love, respect, generosity, wisdom, freedom flourish?”
We visited several offices, including the Chairman of the Health Committee( who is a representative of an activist from Bolinas who demanded a written response to the materials presented, our concerns and the Assemblyman’s position on Bill 1763.) Neither my senators’ nor assemblymans’ staff were aware of the bill (or on the committee), but I did what I could to raise the red flag and draw attention to our concerns. Including that-
The Patriot Bill, the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the Homeland Security Act were not written in the wake of September 11th but in anticipation of a terrorist attack in the US. The experts in terrorism are truly the US agencies who has been funding, training, supporting terrorists for years to further their agenda of corporate globalization. Elements of the military intelligence community were most likely responsible for the anthrax attacks on Democrats and the media.
The Center for Law and the Public Health was convened on Oct. 5th to draft legislation to respond to the bioterrorism threat. (The Center for Law and Public Health is run jointly by Georgetown University Law School and Johns Hopkins Medical School, and was founded under the auspices of the Center for Disease Control (CDC). CLPH was formed one month prior to the 2000 Presidential election.) A revised version was released on Dec. 21 containing more specific definitions of "public health emergency" as it pertains to bioterrorism and biologic agents, and includes language for those states that want to use the act for chemical, nuclear or natural disasters.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson is urging all State legislatures to adopt the Act and to tie billions of dollars in federal funding to its’ passage: the usual method of bribery/coercion to get States to pass legislation that would otherwise never be considered.
Currently, the Administration rattles its nuclear saber, bombs innocent civilians, flagrantly violates International Law, shreds the Constitution, veils itself in secrecy, admits the existence of an underground shadow government to Congress, imprisons hundreds of innocent people because of their ethnic background, blocks real inquiries into 9-11, while using “that crime” to justify an endless war that enriches corporate elites, the military, multinational oil companies, drug traffickers. New revelations of Bush’s shady relationship with Enron, Bin Laden, (not to mention a rigged election in Florida) are emerging. Doubts surface about whose interests will be served by the Model Emergency Health Powers Act. While condemning and pursuing the Al Qaeda network where convenient, the National Post reported Friday that
“Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network has been active in the Balkans for years, most recently helping Kosovo rebels battle for independence from Serbia with the financial and military backing of the United States and NATO.”
Microbiologists around the world have been dying under suspicious circumstances in the past several months. On November 12, 2001 DynCorp announced that its subsidiary, DynPort Vaccine, had been awarded a $322 million contract to develop, produce, test, and store FDA licensed vaccines for use by the Defense Department. DynCorp has been involved in criminal activities and its former chairman was until recently, Herbert Pug Winokur, who was the recent Chairman of the Enron Finance Committee. (Details on this subject can be found at Mike Ruppert’s website, in his article “A Career in Microbiology Can be Hazardous to Your Health” at http://www.copvcia.com/free/ww3/02_14_02_microbio.html)
My Senator’s staff assured me that the bill probably wouldn’t pass, “because Democrats are in the majority.” My Assemblyman’s staff wasn’t very reassuring and did not want to hear any “conjecture, context, allusions to a larger picture. We’ll have a maximum of two minutes to address the particulars of the bill.” She wanted simply line and paragraph information which she could use. She did, however, share that she used to be an activist concerned with the same issues that we cared about and that she had chosen to do the work she did, because that is where she felt that she could be most effective. I felt we had an ally, even if we might be applying different strategies to the same problems.
I love the principles of “Open Space” which include the Zenlike idea that “whoever comes are the right people.” We might have been few in number, but we all deeply appreciated one another. We enjoyed connecting with one another, sharing information, as well as cookies, food, moral, physical support at the meetings We did raise the red flag with our representatives in a public manner, and gave them documents which substantiated our fears of an attack being staged to quickly force through the bill. While we will never know how powerful the ripple effect of our actions might be, we were very glad that we were there and made an effort to draw attention to a very serious issue which is beneath the radar screen for most people.
When I returned home, I received lots of messages from friends, and supporters, apologies from those who tried to make it, but couldn’t and suggestions to start a petition, and give ideas to other who cared and wanted to do something. Here are a few suggestions for activists:
The more we know/understand, the more we can do. I’ve posted more on this issue at http://www.communitycurrency/3-21.html. A resource that I just learned about on this subject is http://www.tetrahedron.org, specifically on the Model Emergency Health Powers Act at http://www.tetrahedron.org/news/NR011109.html.
Learn about the issues, learn enough to share your understanding with others, verbally, in articles, letters, on radio or in public arenas.
Educate public officials; they need to hear the public perceptions, and not just the official/government/corporate point of view. Visit them, write them, fax them, phone them, hold them accountable!
Collecting signatures on petitions is a good way to open a conversation, begin to raise the issue in your community. I haven’t started an online petition, yet; the AAPS has a sign on letter/petition to Bush; someone could/should start another just for California legislators!
Organize! Support other people’s demonstrations, work, see how the issues are all tied together, form coalitions with other individuals and groups to amplify your message, nurture community, solidarity, respect the diversity and strength of the broadest possible coalitions.
Don’t be scared! Find your strength in the love you feel for others and the world, and work to increase improve your relationships and connections with others.
Remember the 5 principles of Leadership-
Challenge the System
Inspire a Vision
Model the Way
Enable Others to Act
Encourage the Heart
The AAPS (Association of American Physicians and Surgeons) is also an excellent resource at http://www.aapsonline.org/ and wrote the following sample letter especially for California Bill 1763-
The Honorable (first & last name)
Assembly
State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Assembly Member (last name):
Please list (your name or your organization or business) in Opposition to Assembly Bill AB 1763.
[Attention letter writer: Use the above sentence. Listing specific points is optional. If you choose to give reasons, select one or more of the following points and change the wording some, or add your own.]
We are strongly opposed to AB 1763 for many reasons, including the following:
AB effectively 1763 forces physicians, dentists, nurses, paramedics, lab technicians, pharmacists, and other professionals as well as public or private, for-profit or non-profit medical facilities into involuntary servitude during a declared state of public health emergency under threat of losing their license to practice in California (proposed Health and Safety Code Sections 130442 and 130520).
AB 1763 violates patient privacy by requiring physicians, pharmacists, dentists and others to report personally identifying information about patients before there is a declaration of a state of public emergency, and without the patient's written consent. It also requires pharmacists to report data on over-the-counter sales, and customer information that pharmacists are not required to obtain under current law (proposed Section 130380, 130382, & 130384).
AB 1763, contrary to the Nuremberg Code, calls for mandatory immunizations (or quarantine or isolation) without prior informed consent; without consideration of personal beliefs, prior medical conditions or contraindications; and without any provision to keep families together, including keeping children with their parents or legal guardians during quarantine or isolation.
AB 1763 gives the Governor inappropriate authority to declare a state of public health emergency without consulting anyone and without any accountability, not even to the Legislature, for 30 days.
AB 1763 inappropriately gives police powers over medical professionals, medical facilities, and ordinary citizens to the Department of Health Services, to local government agencies responsible for protecting the public's health, and to any person designated by them.
AB 1763 ignores the California Emergency Services Act and all other existing laws, including provisions in the Health and Safety Code, which are in place and have been proven effective to address potential and actual emergencies that could affect public health.
Sincerely,
(your name)
If you come up with better ideas/strategies- let me know!!! I think exposing US complicity in 9-11 will help turn this whole situation around; I think people would really rise up and organize when they realize how diametrically opposed “National Security Interests” are to the genuine health and well being of the American people, and the health and well being of people around the world. When we protested the war last September in Washington DC, our banner said:
One Earth, One People, One Love- Alice Walker
And-
One Air, One Water, One Hope-
Respect All Life
