George Brikho, owner and proprietor of Edenz Hydro and founder and president of the Michigan Caregivers Association, is speaking out against coercive mask mandates imposed on children in Oakland County.

“This is not about public health. This is about social conditioning. The science does not even justify a face mask mandate for kids, but our officials don’t care. They want them to submit so they will be easier to control in the future,” he said of the recent order by the Oakland County Health Division to force mask mandates on all public schools in the county.

“Our children deserve to know that their individual freedom and civil liberties will be protected in America. If we throw away their rights because we are scared, we are spitting in the faces of our posterity,” Brikho added.

The facts are on Brikho’s side. Even liberal-leaning National Public Radio admitted in an Aug. 10 report that “less than 2% of all child COVID-19 cases required hospitalization and 0.00% to 0.03% were fatal” in states where the data was actually being collected.

An academic study from the University of Louisville used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to show that “case growth was independent of mandates at low and high rates of community spread, and mask use did not predict case growth during the Summer or Fall-Winter waves,” ultimately concluding that “mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states.”

Additionally, the CDC conducted a study last year of 90,000 elementary-school students who were enrolled in 169 Georgia schools between the dates of November 16 to December 11. They found that social distancing rules, HEPA filters, hybrid at-home and physical schooling, classroom barriers, and compulsory masking had virtually no effect protecting children from the virus. 

“It is insane what they have been able to get away with under the guise of public health. They have put us under this hellish system, and they call it the “new normal,” subliminally conditioning us that it is supposed to be permanent. We cannot accept this so-called new normal under any circumstances,” Brikho said.

Brikho has started a page on Facebook titled, “Just Say NO to the New Normal” where he and other activists make posts everyday about the reality of the coronavirus pandemic.

“I have been threatened and attacked for leading a campaign among parents against mask mandates at my private school,” Brikho said, talking about St. Hugo’s Catholic school where his children are enrolled.

Brikho has received a mixed response from his email correspondence with parents and organizing private schools to reject mask mandates.

“Some people are very happy with what I am doing, and some are very angry. It is okay and I am happy to have a dialogue with everyone no matter where you stand on the issue. This is what makes us Americans,” Brikho said.

“But I do not apologize for rattling the cages of the propagandized. They have fallen victim to the mass hysteria propaganda from Big Pharma and the devils in our wicked, demonic government. I will pray for them and do everything I can to snap them out of their trance,” he added.

Brikho supports the people making their voices heard, which is exactly what is happening at the Oakland County commissioners’ meeting tonight. Patriotic activists are getting together and voicing their frustration with face mask mandates for kids, vaccine passports, discrimination against front-line nurses, and other systemic injustices that are emerging from this psychotic COVID-19 regime.

“They try to use everything they can against you to make you break, but when we all stand together, we are strong. We cannot let them break us and atomize us so we are silent. We must use our voices and come together,” Brikho said.

The protest this evening is taking place tonight, Thurs. Sept. 2 at the Board of Commissioners office located at 1200 North Telegraph Rd., Pontiac, MI 48341 at 5:30 pm.

Friends,

It has come time to boot scumbag attorney and destroyer of families for profit Michael Taylor from office.

Taylor became infamous throughout Metro Detroit for defending the reprehensible decision to deny stewardship of an elderly couple to their loving daughter. 7 Action News profiled Michael Taylor for his role in this cruel and heinous scam enabled by the courts to break families apart using the law.

7 7thAction News discovered that there were various firms, tied to Taylor and other cronies, that were essentially lobbying for the government to enforce this scheme to keep elderly people from their families. Taylor was reportedly at the heart of this illicit scheme, and he attacked the woman personally who was denied the role of caregiver for her beloved parents.

After he was exposed, Taylor waged a public smear campaign against the victim who spoke out. He slammed the whistleblower and defended her parents being kept away from her, all the while evading an actual interview with reporters looking to question him and hold him accountable. His damage control attempts were far from effective, and his constituents are asking all the right questions.

“Isn’t being a Mayor of Sterling Heights and getting involved as a Lawyer for some clients a conflict of interest?” one constituent asked in a Facebook post.

“How in the world can a Mayor be messed up with some scheme like this?” another constituent asked. 

“How are we to be assured that Mr. Taylor has not used his position as Mayor to the advantage of his business associates?” a constituent asked via an email response to the report.

Of course, we cannot know, and Taylor’s complete unwillingness to take any culpability for his illicit actions show his extreme contempt for the people of Sterling Heights.

7 Action News also reported that Taylor’s actions likely violated an ethics resolution that was passed in the city of Sterling Heights in 2013, which Taylor actually supported at the time.

“Public servants should avoid engaging in any conduct which is likely to bring discredit on themselves and the governmental bodies in which they serve,” the resolution read.

Even though he continues to lie and deny like the lowlife that he is, it is clear that Taylor exploited his position as Sterling Heights Mayor and the additional notoriety it brings in order to drive a wedge between a family and rob a daughter from being able to care for their loved ones and spend time with them in their final days for his own personal and professional gain.

Seniors in Sterling Heights must ask themselves: Is this the kind of man you want representing you? The man who would sentence you to live out your final days cold, alone and desperate if it meant putting another dollar in his pocket. Taylor ripped loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s away from their daughter because this attorney puts his clients and his bottom line ahead of the people. This is not acceptable.

Additionally, Taylor publicly supported Joe Biden for president last year. This means Taylor is directly responsible for Biden’s policies of economic damnation, an end to the Bill of Rights and Constitution, a domestic spying authority that calls for families to rat out their loved ones, and the selling out of our nation to China at breakneck speed.

Every time you pay at least a $1 more a gallon of gas at the pump, remember it was Michael Taylor’s decision — a nakedly-partisan decision that did absolutely nothing but politicize his office for his own self-serving aims — that made it more difficult for you to fill up your tank. We are all paying dearly, with every corrupt actor in Washington D.C. elevated as a result, because Taylor cares more about garnering favorable media headlines than representing the people. It is similar to when he endorsed Black Lives Matter as the orgy of destruction swept the country, which has resulted in a subsequent crime spree that continues to threaten the stability of our communities.

Taylor talked about his children when justifying his support for Biden. The truth is that his children will bear the stain of their father being a disgraced coward who failed the public at a crucial time of our nation’s history. Taylor is a man who will be remembered among the vermin who cared only about lining their pockets as American freedom was destroyed. That is your legacy, and, sadly, your progeny will not be able to escape the sins of their weak and reprehensible father.

CHALDEANS CAN CLEAN UP STERLING HEIGHTS!

Sterling Heights is home to a robust and vibrant Chaldean community with over a quarter of the population being Chaldean. I am proud to say that I have many friends and family members living there. Our community has a chance to be on the forefront of the movement of patriotic Americans from all backgrounds who unite and say NO MORE to political corruption. 

It is time to drain the swamp in Sterling Heights and maintain a local government that we can be proud of. The upcoming city primary elections are scheduled to take place on Aug. 3. Reject the sleazeball lawyer and destroyer of families Michael Taylor, and elect former city councilman and Air Force veteran Ken Nelson for Mayor. The message will be sent that Sterling Heights demands more from their elected officials after Taylor is sent packing.

Fellow Parents,

The federal government is now giving indicators that they want to relax their COVID-19 restrictions, and schools are expected to follow suit.

After months and months of restricting the freedom of our children, conditioning them to live in constant irrational fear, making sure they understood that their freedoms are not absolute and subject to revocation at a moment’s notice, we are starting to get signals that a return to normalcy has arrived.

Should we breathe a sigh of relief if our liberties are temporarily restored? No, we simply cannot. We must strive to make sure that this situation can never happen again and that the COVID-19 lockdowns be looked at alongside Japanese internship camps in the 1940s, Indian removals of the 19th century, and human slavery among the darkest episodes of our nation’s history.

Make no mistake about it: Every child who is made to comply with the mask mandate will eventually line up to receive the mark-of-the-beast microchip and be hell bound.

This is why I am organizing fellow parents to make sure this never happens again.  We are doing a tremendous disservice to our children by succumbing to virus fear. Our children are set to inherit a society unrecognizable to anything that each of us grew up in. This is a world where they will be expected to submit and their liberties will always be contingent upon compliance. This is not the America that my family risked life and limb to be a part of.

Nothing has broken my heart more during the pandemic than watching the Catholic Church roll over to the mandates. With only a handful of exceptions, Catholic churches have closed their doors because the government told them that operating was illegal. Some priests demeaned themselves, performing baptisms with squirt guns or cheapening the holy sacrament of the Eucharist, to comply with government overreach destroying religious liberty.

Catholic dioceses throughout the state of Michigan have complied with virus tyranny, which has been most offensive through the mask mandates. Catholic dioceses have gone along with the mask mandate even though there is no scientific data showing that children need to wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19. According to all the available data, children are not at major risk of spreading the disease, and schools that have opened up without restrictions have not caused any major spike in cases.

We must come to the realization, as harrowing as it may be to consider, that our children are being subjected to these restrictions for more sinister reasons than just public safety concerns. The propaganda that we all have been subjected to is unlike anything the world has ever known. The mass hysteria disseminated through the media is having a profoundly negative effect on adults, so the effect that it is having on children must be at least a thousand-fold, and the ramifications are apocalyptically dire.

Christians in the days of Jesus sacrificed their lives to spread the word venerating their Lord and Savior, the True Son of God, Jesus Christ. They were beaten, tortured, treated like lepers, crucified, fed to wild animals, suffered unimaginable hardships, and for what? So their descendants, bestowed with prosperity they would have considered a bounty from heaven, would surrender it all in the sorriest of ways when it came time to stand and fight.

This is not acceptable. We have all complied for far too long. I am drawing the line in the sand. These demons will not corrupt the souls of my children, and they should not corrupt your children’s souls either. We have to preserve our American traditions for the generations to come. We owe it to our posterity to stand for their innocence. Our children should not be living in fear and submitting to orders that are unlawful and make no sense.

I am taking the lead to unite various Catholic schools in the Metro Detroit area to resist COVID tyranny and demand the restoration of freedom in our schools. We will also reach out to other faith-based communities to band together to make sure our rights are not infringed. The 1st Amendment protects us all, but it will not protect our rights unless we exercise them. That is what I intend to do in the months to come and hope you are there beside me.

It begins with one person standing up and saying no more. This is how every movement begins, from the American Revolution to the 1960’s civil rights struggle, it starts with one person doing the right thing and speaking truth to power. I encourage the parents of St. Hugo’s to be the ones who band together and spark civil disobedience in our state and nationwide. Do not get complacent and accept that this nightmare is over. In reality, it is just beginning. The souls of our children quite literally depend upon your action. I hope we stand together and turn our civilization around before it is too late.

Sincerely,

Your Friend

George

Friends,

To start I want to wish you the best as you deal with the coronavirus pandemic. I hope you and your family are happy and healthy as we go through this terrible and unpleasant situation. We must remain safe and smart but also be careful not to surrender our core liberties to government officials looking to capitalize on the situation.

I wanted to give an update on what I have been doing as of late. My hydroponics stores are rapidly expanding and holding up well during the crisis. We are helping people grow food and become self-sufficient as they realize that the benefits and blessings of civil society are very tenuous. If the supply chain breaks down amidst the pandemic, these farming supplies could save thousands if not millions of lives. That is the definition of “essential business” right there.

Since my run for Congress in 2012, I have remained active in politics as an activist and a truth teller in my community. Check out my body of work to see for yourself what I have been doing. I have called out corruption on both sides of the aisle, which is so rarely done in this age of extreme partisanship and division. I have not given up on my vow to reform the country I love that has given so much to my family. Keeping the American dream alive and well requires nothing short of eternal vigilance, as the Founding Fathers made clear.

Over the years I have exposed a tremendous amount of corruption in the marijuana industry, which has helped bring about changes in Lansing that allowed more patients to get their medicine. I have raised awareness on foreign policy, war and peace, government spying, whistleblowers’ rights, and other key issues of our day. Thank you for sharing my work and being in my corner as I have fought this good fight. I have put my livelihood on the line to hold the powerful accountable, and the reception has been humbling and awe-inspiring.

I have always desired to do more with my voice, with the massive platform the internet has given us all. Particularly through the various social media platforms, we are connected like never before and able to share information. It is still revolutionizing communications in ways we cannot even understand, and their censorship campaign cannot undo what has occurred. I want to play a role in this revolution, which is taking the power from a handful of powerful corporations and giving it back to the people.

With that, I am launching a news website with a support staff that will get the word out about what is exactly happening in our communities throughout the state. People have talked about draining the swamp in Washington D.C., but there is a swamp festering in every community that often operates in the shadows. While we are distracted or bickering with each other, a bipartisan group of criminals are robbing us blind and infringing on our freedom in a million different ways. And we are supposed to sit back and take it? HELL NO!

The Michigan Sentry is going to put the powerful on notice, speak truth to power, be independent and non-partisan, and restore the Fourth Estate to what it ought to be. I am looking for volunteer writers who would like to be published and contribute. It doesn’t matter where on the political spectrum you fall – left, right or center. It doesn’t matter if you support President Trump, Bernie Sanders, or whoever. We want you to be involved if your heart is pure and you want to fight corruption. Please reach out to me if you are interested.

Launching soon!

Memorial Day was set up in the 19th Century to remember the memory of the soldiers who died in the United States Civil War. Today we use the holiday to honor all of the deceased military personnel who served in America’s wars and many citizens take time this weekend to decorate the gravesites of their deceased family members and loved ones. I hope that all of you take some time this weekend to remember everyone who has passed on.

War is a frequent part of man’s existence. There are some people who believe that the Civil War was an unnecessary war and did not need to happen. Many Americans died serving on both sides and countless families were irreparably shattered. To be honest, it’s rare to find a necessary war – the American Revolution is the best example.

It is important to not put the blame on a soldier for the military conflicts that they have been engaged in. Friends have shared stories with me of returning Viet Nam War veterans being spit at by anti-war protestors. If you disagree with a military action, hold the politicians and the generals responsible for it accountable. This really needed to be done World War One, where many infantrymen had to deal with trench warfare and an influenza pandemic. Deep state bureaucrats often use war to instigate regime change, and enlisted personnel are not the decision makers in those scenarios.

We have many Americans currently on active military service. At least it is a volunteer military service, unlike the situation with the Viet Nam War where there was a draft. It might be better for all of us if we had fewer foreign entanglements. If the big government types are going to insist on having a large military at least let them be stationed here in our own country.

Please show some respect on Memorial Day for the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Make this weekend about more than hot dogs and barbeque. It would be nice if we had fewer Americans deployed overseas. A foreign policy with less intervention is in order. In the meantime, let us remember to reason for the holiday.

In Liberty,

Nothing good can come from calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. It makes us look weak internationally and silly domestically. The current administration is right in any action it takes to stop this witch hunt. We have a legal system that could convict a ham sandwich. For the same reason that no businessman wants an IRS audit, no politician with common sense wants any government agency probing into their affairs.

If Americans are really upset about the possibility of a foreign government interfering in our elections, then where have they stood when our government has gotten involved with elections and regime changes overseas? The United States has a long history of meddling in Central America, the Carribbean, the Middle East, Southeast Asia. Where have these supposedly outraged Americans been when Israel and Saudi Arabia lobby our politicians?

Its unfortunate that Congressman Justin Amash has made strong statements about President Trump. It is also important to note that the Congressman has not actually called for Trump’s impeachment. There are a lot of activists in the Liberty movement who are getting in nasty arguments about the Trump-Amash conflict. This disagreement is unnecessary.

Attacking Congressman Amash is counterproductive. He is not the only Republican who is critical of the President. Reasonable people can disagree with the White House on matters like tariffs and immigration policy. There are some self-proclaimed standard bearers of Republicanism who are using other people’s blind allegiance to President Trump to promote another agenda. To be precise a significant number of Republican operatives have never cared for Amash due to his adherence to the United States Constitution. These operatives are trying to create a primary in Amash’s Congressional District.

Congressman Amash was first elected to the US House in 2010. Statists who claim to be Republican not liking Amash is nothing new. He faced a Republican primary opponent during his 2014 re-election campaign. There appear to be at least two other individuals who have announced that they will run as Republicans for Amash’s Congressional seat in 2020. If this is what the big government types want, then so be it. He is not a lightweight. I expect that Amash will win in 2020 if he chooses to run again.

There is nothing positive about this conflict. It is acceptable to disagree with a politician you like on one issue, and still support him/her because of their overall record. Leave Trump alone. Let Amash be Amash.

On May 2; Facebook announced that it was purging high-profile figures like Alex Jones and Louis Farrakhan from its platform and labeled them as “dangerous”. Facebook also owns Instagram; therefore Jones, Farrakhan, and others will be banned from there as well. Facebook’s own statement was “We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology.”

This is both a First Amendment issue and greater than that, an international freedom of speech issue. Since the internet can be accessed almost anywhere in the world, and is accessed by almost everybody in the world, websites and their content are indeed international. Facebook has become ubiquitous within everybody’s marketing mix. More people get their news via Facebook than thru CNN, Fox News, and newspapers. Facebook has an ethical responsibility to grant equality of access for the expression of all points of view, not just their corporation’s preferred opinions.

Hatred can be found everywhere. It is part of human nature. Who does Facebook think they are to tell us, the people, what constitutes hate? Who are they to arbitrarily decide who is “dangerous”? Many people express their religious opinions on the internet. Religious thoughts and beliefs are certainly subjective. What may be one individual’s sincerely held beliefs might be viewed as hateful or dangerous by another. Religious opinions affect and divide people on matters such as abortion, homosexuality and foreign affairs. You might express a certain view that his valid in your church but viewed as hateful by Facebook.

Our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they talked about freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Many people have moved to the United States because they needed one or both of those freedoms. When Facebook sets itself up as an arbiter of what is right and wrong, it is impinging upon these freedoms. Furthermore, its dangerous and goes against our American culture. All beliefs, no matter how distasteful, deserve to be expressed and openly scrutinized.

The freedom to exchange ideas and information on social media is a classic application of free market principles. If someone presents information that is goofy or inaccurate, other people call it out. Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan and others have their followers because some of the information they present resonates as true. It is too subjective to embargo their material. Let the general public decide and debate what is right and what is wrong.

Whether you agree or disagree with anyone, shutting down conversation is not the American way. This is an ongoing problem that extends beyond Facebook. Third world dictatorships like to muscle out dissenting opinions. We cannot let our country become like that. Where do we draw the line? If the American government allows this to happen now, what type of censorship will it allow in the future?

The Armenian Genocide was recognized this week on April 24th. It was the 104th Anniversary of the day the Turkish government arrested and executed a number of intellectuals in Constantinople. I wanted to wait until after that day to comment on the genocide out of respect for the Armenian community (some of whom are very good friends of mine). The Armenian people bore the brunt of Turkish atrocities and the focus and sympathy really belongs with them. We need to remember that the Turkish government also persecuted Chaldeans, Greeks and others. To this day the Turks still refuse to call it a genocide or admit they did anything wrong.

Its time for the government of Turkey to man up and accept responsibility for their atrocities of 100 years ago. There is no good reason not to accept the blame. Everyone who personally was involved in these acts of evil, such as Enver Pasha, are deceased. There is no way to do a war crimes trial like the civilized world was able to do against the Nazis or the Khmer Rouge. The world knows what happened and it is ridiculous to deny it.

Those of us who are members of Metro Detroit’s Chaldean community need to stand in solidarity with the Armenians. There were over 100,000 Assyrian and Chaldean Christians killed by the Turks concurrent to the Armenian genocide. Armenian-Americans in Michigan have done an exemplary job in raising and maintaining awareness of the genocide. The Turkish government has spent many dollars lobbying the United States in an attempt to prevent our government from calling the genocide they carried out as just that.

This genocide is something that we should never forget. Hitler used the Turkish example as his template to orchestrate the persecution of Jews, Gypsies and many others. He was famously quoted as stating “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”. The government of Israel and many others never fail to remind us of the Holocaust.

Everyday is a day we should the remember genocide. Today is an especially good day to do so since it is Easter for the Eastern calendar, which is what is observed by the Armenian Church.

A great quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin when asked by someone at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 if our new government was a republic or a monarchy is this – “A Republic, if you can keep it.” Part of ensuring that our federal government was a Republic was the creation of the Electoral College.

There has been legislation introduced in Michigan that involves the National Popular Vote. This legislation, if ever approved, would award Michigan’s Electoral votes to the Presidential candidate who receives the most nationwide votes. It would award these votes regardless if that candidate did or did not receive the most votes in Michigan. This is just wrong.

Donald Trump became President Trump because he won the Electoral College in 2016, 304 votes to Hillary Clinton’s 227 votes. Michigan has 16 Electoral votes. Trump won Michigan in 2016, but even if he had lost Michigan he still would have won the Electoral College with 288 to 243 margin.

National Popular Vote seeks to disenfranchise Michigan’s voters by making the awarding of their Electoral College votes dependent on what the rest of the country thinks. This creates an opportunity to voters from New York and California to tell us, as Michiganders, who our Electoral votes are awarded to. There is something wrong with letting liberal out-of-state elites have influence in what we do and who we vote for.

The National Popular Vote bill was introduced in our State House in 2018. I believe that this is being done to undermine President Trump, and was only introduced here because Michigan’s 2016 Electoral votes went to the Republican candidate for the first time since 1988. This is why we need to elect politicians who will support the Electoral College and oppose the National Popular Vote.

President Trump is running for re-election in 2020. Maybe he will win Michigan again. Maybe he won’t. Either way, let us keep our Republic and keep the Electoral College as it is.

Happy Easter to all of you from the Brikho Household! He has risen!

If Jesus walked on Earth today what would he think about the United States of America? Would he like what we are about? Would he like our laws? Would he approve of our government?

In certain situations the answer is “Yes”! I think the Lord to this day approves of our freedom of religion. We are created with the freedom to choose to believe. Our federal government allows us the freedom of choice in whether or not to believe in him, as well as how to worship him. As an example, Americans, especially here in Metro Detroit, can observe Easter with either the Eastern or Western calendar. There are many different expressions of the Christian faith and our country is blessed with an acceptance of all of these interpretations of The Resurrection.

On the other hand, I doubt that Jesus would approve of our interventions into foreign wars. Christianity is a religion of peace. The United States’ involvement in the Viet Nam War was a disaster. I am saying this not as a disrespect to the soldiers who were drafted and fought the war, but to the politicians and the deep state bureaucrats who made the decision to send Americans to die for no good reason.

With World War One, a Democrat President sent American troops to fight a war in Europe and prop up the Allied Powers. Our support of Great Britain and France allowed those two nations to dictate postwar settlements and territorial carve-outs in the Middle East. We are still paying a terrible price for those decisions. The root cause of many of problems that we have seen in Iraq and Syria were only made possible by the enabling actions of the American government between 1917 and 1920. I cannot believe that Jesus would approve of our involvement in that war.

Recently, President Trump vetoed a resolution to stop the United States’ support for the Saudi-backed war in Yemen. I respect President Trump, but he is wrong on this issue. It was a resolution that received votes from Congressmen of both major political parties. It would have removed American armed forces from Yemen (with the continuing exception of actions specifically against al-Qaeda). His veto is very contrary to Christ’s teachings.

If we wish to call ourselves a Christian country and a Christian people then we have to stay away from these foreign wars and their entanglements. Jesus’ teachings of peace demand that we do better as a nation.
