Selective Persecution: The Legalization of American Fascism
In the early months of the COVID crisis, Dr. Simone Gold organized doctors and social media influencers to hold a White Coat Summit in Washington, DC, and she said something that nobody the disease was treatable, and the panic was killing people. This press conference in front of the Supreme Court exceeded twenty million views within eight hours, becoming the most explosive viral video of its time.
Instantaneously, Dr. Gold was transformed from an anonymous board-certified emergency physician and attorney to "public health" enemy number one. As a whistleblower who sacrificed her job to save a patient’s life, she began to appear frequently on media and speak at events across the country, peeling back the deepening layers of medical propaganda. On January 6, 2021, she was an invited guest speaker alongside several congressmen at a Capitol grounds rally with a government-approved permit.
That is where this story begins.
Selective The Legalization of American Fascism weaves a narrative from Dr. Gold’s personal experience as a frontline doctor, and her forty-eight minutes inside the US Capitol Building on January 6. The author walks listeners through an array of COVID lies and corruption, the course of January 6 itself, and the unfathomable progression of fascist government abuse that followed. She endured a violent FBI raid, extreme malice and misconduct by the Department of Justice, and was sentenced to federal prison amid shocking corruption in the judiciary. She was then further persecuted by the California Medical Board, the New York Bar, congressional committees, the TSA, and was widely defamed by the press and most of the world—all for the crime of daring to speak the truth.
Selective Persecution is Dr. Gold’s chilling story about how a weaponized government can be turned against any citizen.

Everyone should read this book, especially anyone who saw Dr. Gold and her colleagues speak on the Supreme Court steps and then heard The Powers carefully paint a picture that they're lunatics. Dr. Gold is a doctor and lawyer, trained and experienced in emergency care. Her blistering tale of being attacked for trying to save her patients - and inform others - is harrowing and infuriating. We all want to put those incalculable betrayals behind us, but Dr. Gold reminds us that we must not. The betrayals continue. Vulnerable people - babies, children, pregnant women, veterans, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and various challenged populations -- have long been betrayed, and still are. No one has yet been held to account.

I had already seen interviews of John Strand and Brandon Skaka on "The January 6 Stories the Media Doesn't Want You to Hear | Real Talk | PragerU. as well as Dr. Gold in a separate video. But the book filled the in a lot of details. Now I would really like to John Strand's book.
