Unvaxxed NYC teachers’ fingerprints sent to FBI
Another example of America’s spy state exposed in New York legal battle
Earlier this week, I wrote about the bombshell news reported by National File showing the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) tracking and spying on the American people who did not submit to the experimental gene therapy covid shots.
Another story broke this week in the case of New Yorkers for Religious Liberty, Inc. et al v. The City Of New York et al.
Oral arguments began in the case on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York City. Lawyers for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) are representing teachers effected by jab mandates.
“The case involves a New York City mandate that forced city workers to be injected with the COVID-19 vaccine against their sincere religious beliefs if they wanted to keep their jobs and offered religious accommodations only on a discretionary—and discriminatory—basis.”
John Bursch, an ADF attorney representing the NYC teachers, stated during oral arguments that teachers who were fired were flagged with what is called “problem codes” for their noncompliance to the covid jabs. And those flagged had their fingerprints sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).
The jab mandates have been reported as having ended in NYC, but that’s not stopping the fascists from effectively keeping them in place with Orwellian practices such as this.
The statement is found near the 5-minute mark in a recording found here. Bursch said:
“Now, they’re saying, ‘Well, sure you can reapply. But we’ll lock you out of your accounts so you can’t get access to the resources that you need to do that.’ In addition, you’ve got these problem codes in the personnel files…. When the city puts these problem codes on employees who have been terminated because of their unconstitutional policies, not only do they have this flag in their files but their fingerprints are sent with that flag to the FBI and the New York Criminal Justice Services. So, it impacts their ongoing ability to get employment at other places.”
The information on the “problem codes” comes from an affidavit from Betsy Combier in the case of Kane v. de Blasio in 2022. Combier stated:
“I am also very familiar with ‘problem codes’- the flag the DOE (New York City Department of Education) puts in the personnel file of employees to indicate that they should not be hired due to unexplained misconduct of some kind. Employees can be flagged for everything from receiving an unsatisfactory or ineffective rating to engaging in egregious criminal acts. During the three years I worked at the UFT (United Federation of Teachers) headquarters, I received countless calls every week asking me if there was a problem code on an employee's personnel file. When that happened, I would simply ask the person next door to my office, another UFT Special Representative, whether she could check her computer, and she would tell me ‘yes’ or ‘no’ within a minute.”
“When the DOE puts a problem code in the employee's personnel file, it also places a flag on the employee's fingerprints, which is then sent to the national databases at both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State Division of Criminal Justice Services.”
“I have represented more than 15 DOE employees before the DOE’s Office of Personnel Investigation in proceedings in which they requested the removal of their problem codes. The flag has several names such as ‘problem code,’ ‘pr’ code, ‘pc’ code, ‘ineligible,’ and ‘no hire/inquiry’ code; however, all refer to a salary block, whatever title it is given.”
“I have helped approximately 20 DOE employees get their problem codes removed from their personnel files.”
“I know of many former DOE employees who have problem codes in their personnel files because they declined to be vaccinated in violation of the DOE's mandate and were not granted a religious or medical exemption. The DOE places a problem code on the employee’s personnel file immediately upon getting information that the employee did not submit proof of vaccination. As soon as the employee gets the vaccination and submits proof, the code is removed from his or her file.”
Regarding the Feb. 8 oral arguments, Michael Kane wrote for Teachers for Choice:
“In federal court on February 8th attorney Susan Paulson who was defending NYC stated that educators fired for declining covid vaccination were not removed for misconduct, but rather for not meeting a requirement for employment.”
“If there was no misconduct, why are unvaccinated educators fingerprints sent to the FBI?”
“I believe that unvaccinated NYC educators were being setup to be viewed as ‘right-wing extremists’ or even ‘terrorists.’ We know for many years Dr. Peter Hotez has been promoting an insane narrative that those who are ‘vaccine hesitant’ are an extremely dangerous group, and that we need to look to Homeland Security and even NATO for suggestions of how to deal with such a ‘threat.’ (watch Part 1 & 2 of Dan Cohen’s investigation into Dr. Peter Hotez)”
“If we look at those who declined covid vaccination through this lens, it is easy to see why their sensitive biometric information (like fingerprints) would be illegally sent to the FBI.”
“Educators who declined covid vaccination – including myself – had every right to do so. No one is a ‘terrorist’ or ‘extremist’ for holding the line on what does and does not go inside of their bodies – especially injected directly into their muscle tissue.”
As for the teachers involved, just having a hearing was a win as seen in video after the oral arguments as a large crowd chanted: “We the people will not comply.”
Bursch told the crowd:
“I have read your stories. I have looked at your legal claims, and you have been treated so shabbily, not only by the city but by all the federal judges who have examined your cases. And I am so glad that finally today, we got a hearing in front of judges who heard everything that we wanted to say.”
Bursch said the judges were listening intently, and he called on the people to pray for the judges. He said:
“Praise God that we had a good day in court today. And here’s what I need you to do. I need you to go home and pray tonight. Pray for those three judges. Pray that God will move them, that they will be moved to write an opinion that vindicates you, that grants justice to every single one of you and that shows the city what it means to have free exercise of religion in this town.”
Everyone has personal liberty to refuse the jab
While I hope these teachers get the outcome and justice they deserve and applaud them for their fight, the jab mandates in general should never been argued as a “religious freedom” issue. It’s not about “religious freedom.” It’s about personal liberty. I alluded to this in a recent piece.
As a Christian, I certainly have problems with the Medical Industrial Complex and their use of murdered babies and push to reengineer God’s design through gene manipulation.
But still, this is not a “religious freedom” issue. Every American, indeed every human being, has a right to not be injected with anything they don’t want injected into them, period. That’s regardless of their religious views. This isn’t a hard concept. If you can been forced to inject or ingest something you don’t want, you are not free.
I won’t knock these teachers for using means to protect themselves in the present. If the “religious freedom” argument works for them, I’m happy for them. But it will not advance liberty. It only provides short-term protection for a select group of people.
We, as Americans, have disgracefully allowed vaccine mandates for decades, specifically forced on children who don’t have a say in the matter. Shame on us. All such mandates should end immediately.
While that applies for all vaccines and medications and medical treatments, this case is specific to the death jabs. So, I will conclude with the recent data from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), maintained by the CDC, showing 34,107 deaths reported by the covid jabs as of Feb. 3. The CDC itself has admitted an undercount in VAERS by a factor of at least 6.5X while the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation has independently found the undercount being a factor of about 41X. That puts the likely number of deaths by covid jabs somewhere between 221,696 and 1,398,387.
