Thought provoking. Wonderful optimistic model. We need more of this type of instance in the world.

Love it, such a beautiful story.

Like Dickens in "Bleak House," your appraisal of chancery is compelling and insightful, Diane.

There is, it seems to me, an important role for solutions that can be implemented outside of the ordinary legal framework. That said, there is a very good reason that the ideal of an impartial adjudication under law exists.

To illustrate, I urge folks to contemplate the coercive power of social workers and mental health experts. Increasing that power is extremely dangerous. Many of their interventions are effectively irreversible. A mistake in judgement can result in disability or even death.

We must be very careful to impose limits on any increase of coercive power wielded arbitrarily.

Thanks for that. There is also lots of medical iatrogenesis and maybe something to be said about laws to prevent and hold people liable. There might be a case of an individual practitioner who did harm and a process of reparative justice, compensation, contrition etc. Or to have alternatives like for health care between allopathic and naturopathic or both.

Yes. A just world would have accountability for harms from medical decisions made without true informed consent. Serious harms, as well as the "hidden middle" - which as a parent of a vaccine injured dog, is incredibly time and money consuming, without being as awful as autism or paralysis or heart attack.

Immune dysregulation leads to constant infections despite best possible efforts at integrative medicine, antibiotic resistance, food sensitivities, impossible choices of foods / limited choices of vets /no options for pet insurance when deciding to not comply with mandated vaccine for a disease it's impossible for some pets to ever even get (depending on lifestyle). And a lifetime of debt and not enough time or money to address my health problems and also my dog's. And operating at a shred of potential capacity and time to address the urgent problems of the world.

So many people - and animals - are in need of deep wholistic / naturopathic / integrative care, and spend so much time limited by the health problems needed to be addressed that there is no way to pay for the tremendous expense of ongoing naturopathic care. That said, practitioners need to be fairly compensated also. And many doctors and vets give advice with good intentions, but are clueless about the topics they're explaining, that people base decisions on.

Is it too much to hope for that there will be accountability for the damage of covid vaccines-in-name-only, and the damage of actual vaccines to children, adults, and our animal friends?

So sorry for what you are going through. Accountability will take time but FLCCC, Henry Ealy and others are trying to help the VINO injured. Here are some pieces I wrote on informed consent and wrote a "Truly Fully Informed Consent checklist.

Beautiful visionary practical model for conflict resolution! Question - who pays the conflict resolution team?

Good question, I guess they negotiate that, there may be some pro bono or supported by the government, in any case a fraction of the cost of litigation and years of life consumed in trauma.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change

something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." All well and good provided both sides want to change to system - and for the better of both sides. Sorry for sounding a pessimist (I prefer realist) but those who are gaining from the existing system (increasingly tilted in their favour) don't want change. I suspect we have to make THEM obsolete, because - last time - we didn't eradicate all of them, thereby enabling the dregs to go into hibernation mode while they regrouped and recalibrated their game plan.

I agree completely. I testified many times in DC Council and legislation proposed that required mediation before foreclosure was marked up, deleted all mentions of mediation, and - on public record, makreked up by a powerful lawyer who profits from litigation enabled by the legislation. This is factual, on the record. I believe decent, well-meaning council members are being manipulated by corporate interests, including the DC mMinor Consent Bill, successfully challenged by CHD, I think or ICAN

understood, conflicts of interest, abuses of power, domination, coercion, negativity dominance - we have an uphill battle - have to be more clever, creative, organized and coordinated and prepared as the truth comes out.

Lawfare has always been their weapon against me.

I fight it with music and love.

Hope they don't kill me .

But fuck them if they do I won't be living in fear .

Lawfare is what it is.

Shitty shit from the shitttsters...

ScKamala locked me up after her judge Carole Yaggy threw me off my own counsel.

Lawfare.

ScKamala had first dropped those charges, but then...

Lawfare.

Call it what it is so folks know.

Lawfare.

Thanks

I love the possibilities of this. It stops making 'legal' an expensive word game. Would this also work with, say, big Pharma when they have been fined, or others (tobacco industry, pesticide industry, emf businesses, etc) who have lied in legal processes?

Good questions helping me think more deeply. Also it's not my call. Maybe some of the money spent on lawyers can go directly to victims or Big Pharma can repent and do something beneficial - but for such evil I am open to punitive damages. Maybe there is a process that takes less time and is easier on the victims. I welcome ideas. Thanks
