The Biden administration was just ordered to pay 1.8 million dollars for its unlawful mandate forcing military members to receive an experimental shot while illegally denying these defenders of freedom their religious freedom rights.

For two years, Liberty Counsel has been defending the brave men and women of the U.S. military against Joe Biden’s unlawful COVID shot mandates. Not only did Biden use our military members as Pfizer’s guinea pigs, forcing members and their families to participate in COVID shot clinical trials without their knowledge, but he also unlawfully violated every service member’s federal right to a religious exemption from his deadly shot program.

• John* was told he would spend the rest of his days in a dark military prison unless he abandoned his religious exemption request and took Joe’s jab.
• The DOD wouldn’t let Chad* leave Korea unless he relinquished his religious freedom rights, though his tour of duty had been completed nearly a year before.
• James* was locked in the equivalent of a broom closet turned “office” for refusing to relinquish his religious freedom rights.
• Janelle* and her family were informed that the military would kick her out and leave her and her entire family stranded in Europe with no money and no way home unless she and her family relinquished their religious exemption rights and took the experimental jab.

But perhaps most shocking was what the Biden administration did to silence Dr. Theresa Long, a whistleblower witness in our case.

Lt. Col. Long joined ROTC at age 16 and enlisted in the Army at 17. A medical doctor and a flight surgeon, Dr. Long also holds a master’s degree in public health and has specialized training in epidemiology and biostatistics. As such, Dr. Long is an expert in the DOD Defense Military Epidemiology Database (DMED) that tracks all military medical treatment.

After Biden ordered the military to take the COVID shots, Dr. Long noticed a sudden sharp increase in debilitating health issues among the pilots whose health she was assessing for flight readiness. Dr. Long turned to the DMED database to see if other military members were also experiencing issues.

Comparing 2021 (the year the military COVID shot mandates went into effect) to the prior five years, Dr. Long found shocking increases in neurological issues, female infertility, miscarriages, pulmonary embolisms, cancer, Bell’s palsy, myocardial infarction, congenital malformations in newborns, and much more.

Dr. Long shared her research with other experts who confirmed her findings. Yet, the military brass refused to act on this shocking truth.

But wait, it gets worse . . .

When Dr. Long agreed to testify in our case Navy SEAL 1 v. Austin, the Biden administration committed the CRIME of witness tampering.

On the evening before our hearing in March 2022, I was reviewing testimony with our witness, Lt. Col. Theresa Long, when she received a call from her commander who ordered her not to testify regarding certain critical information relevant to our case!

I have never witnessed anything like this. The government intentionally threatened a witness under subpoena on the eve of testimony in a federal court. Under federal law 18 USC 1512, it is a crime to intimidate or threaten a witness with the intent to influence, alter, or withhold their testimony. But once again, it showed that the Biden administration thinks the law does not apply to them.

Dr. Long prayed about whether to obey her chain of command or to testify the next day. The morning of our hearing, Dr. Long says the Holy Spirit gave her a verse: “If you are called to testify about something you have seen or that you know about, it is sinful to refuse to testify, and you will be punished for your sin” (Lev. 5:1).

Dr. Long testified, and Joe Biden was later forced to retract his unlawful and dangerous military shot mandate. This week, via a settlement agreement, Biden’s Department of Defense was forced to pay 1.8 million dollars for the two years of litigation we spent on this case.

But this case never would have made it to the courts if it weren’t for faithful Liberty Counsel supporters like yourself. Liberty Counsel never charges for our legal work. We understand that few, especially those on a meager military salary, could afford to defend themselves against a government gone mad.

Despite our wins in Navy SEAL 1 v. Austin and Financial Management Officer v. Austin, our fight against the Biden administration and other governmental entities determined to eradicate religious freedom is far from over.

We have numerous cases pending in state and federal courts, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court, defending the right to life, religious freedom, and God’s design for the natural family. We represent Christian counselors who have been unlawfully banned from offering Bible-based counseling, teachers who are being forced to participate in the LGBTQ agenda against their will, health care workers unlawfully fired over their faith, and much more.

Your generous support today is the difference between whether these faithful people receive top-notch representation willing to fight for their rights all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, or whether they will be forced to suffer alone. A special Challenge Grant designed to replenish our legal fund will DOUBLE THE IMPACT of every gift made today. Please, give generously.
