The Feds

In this gripping episode of The Feds, host Stephanie Weidle sits down with Kacy Dixon, a former military intelligence officer and JAG attorney, to unpack the ongoing legal and administrative challenges surrounding the reinstatement of military personnel impacted by COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Kacy reveals how refusal of vaccines, testing, and masking has created significant hurdles in the reinstatement process through the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR), where the work and burden of proof unfairly rests on service members. She discusses the broken religious accommodation process, marked by blanket denials during COVID that have set a troubling precedent for flu shot declinations, and shares insights from her candid conversations with senior Pentagon officials. Highlighting systemic flaws, including scrubbed records and "failure to promote" labels blocking reinstatement, Kacy proposes a dedicated BCMR subgroup to streamline COVID-related cases and advocates for retroactive severance pay through new appropriations as a fair resolution for all, including the military.Kacy emphasizes the urgent need for accountability, noting that some officials acted knowingly while others were negligent, yet all must face consequences to prevent future injustices. With no clear mechanism for accepting reinstatement offers and a military legal system that courts have deemed a "sham," this episode exposes critical gaps in the process and explores solutions that could restore trust and fairness. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the fight for justice, the complexities of military policy, and the path toward meaningful reform in this post-mandate era.Follow Kacy on X: @KacyJDixon Check out Feds For Freedom's SubstackListen to The Feds on all platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomVisit our Website: FedsForFreedom.org Follow Feds For Freedom on Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa

This week, Sky Shook joins The Feds to discuss Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses that have caused much harm to the American population. Sky is a health consultant and strategist who has supported the healing efforts of patients with vector borne diseases, including Lyme disease, for more than two decades. He supports through advocacy, education, medical practice management and lobbying at the state and federal level.In this episode, we discuss why Sky started researching Lyme, and what he found helpful for his own wife who was struggling with a cascade of symptoms. Sky discusses that early treatment is the best, and for those who have chronic Lyme, it is important to look not just at the tick as the cause of illness, but at other toxins as contributors. We discuss the role of the government in tick-borne illnesses and the radical government transparency that is needed for a better understanding.Although not covered in this discussion, an important consideration with respect to tick-borne illness and our health generally may be the presence of parasites. There are many resources available to learn more about the need to address parasitic infection, which is frequently indicated in patients with difficult cases of tick-borne disease.Weston A.

Mark Pemberton, a seasoned State Department law enforcement officer, shares his harrowing experience of retaliation after refusing to comply with COVID-19 mandates. He discusses how his decisions to decline certain tests led to being labeled an “insider threat” and facing a proposed suspension. The conversation dives into the broader implications of disciplinary actions against dissenters and the emotional toll of being accused of extremism due to personal beliefs. Mark’s story highlights the ongoing struggle for accountability and personal integrity in the face of institutional pressure.

Brad Dacus, an attorney and founder of the Pacific Justice Institute, dives deep into the state of religious liberty in America. He discusses the clash between vaccine mandates and personal beliefs, especially in the military. The conversation highlights the rise of subtle persecution against faith-based individuals and the legal hurdles they face. Dacus also addresses the looming Religious Freedom Commission and the implications of governmental overreach on personal rights, urging vigilance among those who value their freedoms.

Matt Strickland, former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contractor and owner of Gourmeltz, joins The Feds again to blow the whistle on continuing corruption within DHS.

Dozens of military service members are currently being discharged after they declined the flu shot, citing medical, religious, and Constitutional reasons. They have been discriminated against, put on leave without pay, and ordered before military discharge boards.This week, The Feds hosts four military service members who are currently facing discharge:Brennan Schilperoort “Skip”, Major, US Air Force Air Mobility CommandChris Babscak, Technical Sergeant, Arkansas Air National GuardKim Bitter, Major, Nurse in the US Air Force ReserveTony Oslin, Technical Sergeant, Air Force National GuardIn this episode, we discuss how the flu shot requirement is inherently discriminatory, the fact that these harms are still continuing under the second Trump administration, how the wrongs can be righted and how to avoid unconstitutional actions like these in the future.An update to the DoD policy on flu shots states that the flu shot will only be given to “Service members” when it “most directly contributes to readiness”. As of May 29, 2025, the regulations have been updated to change the specifications for who is required to get a flu shot and who is not, but the actions to sever members from military service for exercising their rights to refuse an injection continue.To see the memo yourself please see these posts on X: https://x.com/RealChapAmerica/status/1930304887750853054 https://x.com/PamLongCO/status/1930980255717601765If you want to join the military members and supporters in a pledge to seek accountability for unlawful actions being taken please sign the declaration here: https://militaryaccountability.net If you are ready to take further action, please contact your senators and representatives and make your voice be heard. https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative Check out Feds For Freedom's SubstackWatch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomSupport the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/joinFollow Feds For Freedom on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa

Paul Thomas, MD, well-known retired pediatrician, joins The Feds this week to shed light on the corruption within the medical system that attempted to strip him of his ability to provide informed consent. After witnessing healthy children become autistic within his own practice, he began studying the vaccinations he offered. He published The Vaccine Friendly Plan, providing informed consent for his readers and suggesting an alternative vaccination plan. The Oregon Medical Board then asked him to prove his plan was safer and more effective than the CDC schedule. He responded by hiring outside analysts and conducting a vaxxed-unvaxxed study within his own practice. After his findings, and during COVID, the medical board stripped him of his license. This week, we hear his story, including an update regarding his lawsuit, discuss waning immunity in the middle-aged population, chat about the recent measles cases, and talk about his new book, Vax Facts: What to Consider before Vaccinating at All Ages and Stages of Life. We also hear what Dr. Paul has been doing alternatively to treat his recently diagnosed cancer. Dr. Paul is the host of Good Morning CHD - Pediatric Perspectives and founder & host of With The Wind: Science Revealed. He is the co-founder of KidsFirst4Ever.com.
