47. Dr. Sheila Furey: A Psychiatrist’s Perspective on Covid and Transgenderism  Psychiatrist Dr. Sheila Furey, co-founder of the Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance, joins The Feds this week to speak about the transgender push within our country. She gives insight into the narratives the medical system fed her before and during Covid and tells of the resulting physical and moral injury on children. She provides thoughts and words for speaking with children about transgenderism. Dr. Furey warns of the current school system’s policies that block parents from being notified of the medical and emotional treatments given to their children while in school.  Dr. Sheila Furey is a graduate of Creighton University School of Medicine. She completed her residency in psychiatry and fellowship in Child Psychiatry at Boston University Hospitals. Dr. Furey has been in clinical practice for over 25 years and has treated adults and children in hospital and outpatient settings, juvenile detention, and residential treatment centers for children. She specializes in working with children and adults with learning challenges or neurologic injuries. Dr. Furey currently maintains a private practice and believes in a treatment approach based on limiting toxic exposures from medications, vaccines, food, and the environment. She believes in the sacredness of the family and the need to protect children from societal assaults on their innocence.  In 2021, in the midst of Covid, she gathered with other healthcare providers and concerned citizens to form the Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance.  This organization seeks to restore the right to medical freedom by ensuring informed consent, bodily sovereignty, and the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship.

Ivan Raiklin, a National Security Expert, discusses the Deep State's influence on Covid, Jan. 6, and elections. He proposes a plan for fair elections and exposes General Flynn's legal battle against the Deep State. Topics include bankers' role in politics, China's influence, and the transgender agenda. Ivan emphasizes the need for accountability and transparency in government agencies.

This week, we speak with Jeff Childers, attorney and author of the Coffee & Covid Substack. We discuss the legal routes he took in 2020 to gain the attention of the State of Florida and Gov. DeSantis, the transgender movement, and how he still can’t get Christian leaders to speak publicly about why the Church is “essential.” Jeff Childers is an attorney located in Gainesville, Florida, where he lives with his wife and three boys. He has been actively involved since March 2020, providing truth, optimism, and hope as the author of the widely read international blog: www.coffeeandcovid.com. He is one of the nation’s leading attorneys standing against unconstitutional mandates invading citizens’ bodily and medical autonomy. Since the 2020 pandemic, Jeff has represented a variety of clients and cases covering many controversial topics. He has managed to get an appellate decision finding that mandatory masking was presumptively unconstitutional, and he also shut down the City of Gainesville’s “vaccinate or terminate” policy as unconstitutional with a first-in-the-nation broad injunction against a vaccine mandate.

Two of our past guests, John Frankman and Briana Cespedes, join us this week. John is a former Captain in the Army and Green Beret, who was, along with his men, told to wear red armbands to signal that they were unvaccinated. He left the Army due to the Covid mandates. Briana is a former Air Force broadcast journalist. She was put in quarantine for over 140 days in total, being reprimanded for not following what they maintained was a lawful order, and ultimately received a dishonorable discharge.  This week we discuss what they advocated for during the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) week, the signs of a totalitarian society, the need for political and spiritual renewal, and we call upon leaders to remember the Constitution that they swore an oath to follow and defend.  July 2 NDAA update from John and Briana:  We have been proposing amendments to include upgrading discharge statuses to honorable, reinstatement, and the forbidding of future mandates. Nine amendments were proposed for this year’s NDAA but only 3 are to be included in the final draft. Those three are the forbidding of future mask mandates on military installations, conducting a study on effects of vaccines and immunity by the Secretary of Defense, and providing reparations for chaplains negatively effected. We are highly disappointed by the lack of amendments voted through in this upcoming NDAA. We will not stop advocating until we see change.  Select Subcommittee Hearing on the Coronavirus P(l)andemic with Anthony Fauci: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvQTXAgtA6s&t=6229s Declaration of Military Accountability: https://militaryaccountability.net Follow Briana on Instagram: @involuntaryveterans  Follow John on Instagram and X: @johny_franks Watch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms:  https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom Support the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/join Follow Us on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook:  @feds4freedomusa

Husband and wife Allen and Jean Cohen, retired Air Force members, discuss Covid responses between military and federal agencies, DEI in the military, fear-based policies, Operation Warp Speed, vaccine mandates, challenges of standing up for beliefs, impact of misinformation and fear, role of Christianity in society, America as a Christian nation, marital challenges during the pandemic, struggles with diversity and inclusion, importance of meritocracy in the military, and the significance of a moral compass in leadership and society.

This week we are joined by Michael Schaecher, a computer technician with the North Carolina National Guard. After receiving the Covid-19 shots, he refused to submit proof of vaccination to his superiors as he felt it was a violation of his privacy. He was fired, rehired, and then was refused access to do his job. He was eventually labeled a “potential insider threat.”  He is currently being paid not to work and has several active EEO cases.

Kevin Biro is a 20-yr Intelligence Community professional, having served in the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician and as an Industrial Contractor supporting various IC elements. As a devout Christian and former ministry director, Kevin has spent the past year navigating constitutionally protected religious free speech and practice in the intelligence workspace regarding the transgender and gender identity-affirming policies. This week, Kevin shares with us how he has been pushing back against the Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 125, signed by the Director of National Intelligence, that violates his and many others’ deeply held religious beliefs. We hear how he has received open backlash from the primary LGBTQ+ group within the organization he subcontracts for, and what he is pursuing legally. We discuss why he thinks the intelligence agencies are limiting constitutionally protected speech in the workplace, and what happens to a society that fundamentally denies basic truth.

Before his role at the White House, Spencer served as a political appointee at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  Today, we talk about the goals of Project 2025, why federal employees should put their names into the ring, and how the Project seeks to dismantle the hold unelected officials have on our country.  Project 2025: https://www.project2025.org Twitter: @Heritage Watch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms:  https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom Support the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/join Follow Us on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook:  @feds4freedomusa

This week, we hear the gripping story of Matt Strickland and his restaurant’s journey over the past couple years. In 2021, when he refused to follow Virginia's COVID regulations, he was sued by the state's Democrat leadership. By the time the case made it to court, Virginia was controlled by a Republican governor and Attorney General, but the state continued to pursue the case. We talk about what he makes of our two dominant political parties walking in step with each other through the Covid era and beyond. Matt Strickland is an Army veteran who enlisted at the age of 17 as a Combat Medic. Matt was assigned to the 25th Infantry at Ft. Lewis where he arrived on September 10, 2001. He also served on Blackwater’s Counter Assault Team and in total spent almost a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, as a civilian, Matt worked as an Intelligence Analyst for the military. In 2016, he embarked on his dream to be a small business owner opening his first food truck, named Gourmeltz. His business quickly thrived, and Matt opened the restaurant version of Gourmeltz in 2018. As his business was flourishing, Matt, like most small business owners in America, almost lost everything because of the Covid mandate lockdowns. Unlike most small business owners though, Matt fought back. After a lengthy court battle, Matt proved that those mandates were in fact unconstitutional, and he won his case against the state.

Elizabeth Soliday was a business agent at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington state at the time of the federal Covid-19 mandates in 2021. Liz became a Feds For Freedom class agent in October 2021, when she filed an Equal Employment Opportunities Commission religious discrimination class action complaint along with others at her shipyard. We discuss her son’s vaccine injury that catapulted her into the medical freedom fight and qualified her to become a leader in the battle for religious freedom. We talk about where the shipyard’s EEOC complaint stands now and what she would encourage all American citizens to do going forward.
