The battle against medical kidnapping: How We The Patriots USA is saving children from state tyranny

Mike Adams, founder of Brighteon.com, recently sat down with Brian Festa, the dynamic leader behind We The Patriots USA, to delve into a critical issue plaguing American families: medical kidnapping. This insidious practice sees parents coerced into adhering to conventional medical protocols or risk losing custody of their children, a situation that increasingly reflects the overreach of state authority in personal medical decisions.

Festa’s organization has emerged as a formidable force in challenging this injustice. One of their most notable victories came in the Guidry case from Missouri, where the group’s efforts resulted in the swift return of four children to their parents within six weeks. Prior to this, the state had accused Paul and Amanda Guidry of child abuse due to their use of alternative medical treatments for their children, leading to the kidnapping of their youngest son, a non-verbal six-year-old boy with autism. This case, still ongoing, underscores the widespread nature of medical kidnapping across America, regardless of whether a state is red, blue, or swing.

Festa’s work extends far beyond this pivotal case. Another significant victory was in a lawsuit filed in California involving a kindergarten teacher, Morella Ramirez. Ramirez was fired from her job for refusing to use preferred pronouns in her classroom, citing religious objections. Festa and his team argue that this is an invasion of free speech and religious freedom, as the state is compelling her to speak in ways that violate her faith. This case highlights the broader issue of states imposing ideologies, often at odds with personal or religious beliefs, into education and healthcare.

The organization’s efforts are not confined to individual cases but are aimed at altering the broader landscape of parental rights and personal freedoms. Festa emphasizes the importance of establishing legal precedents that protect individuals, particularly teachers, from being coerced into practices they believe violate their moral or religious principles. His recent filing in the Ramirez case, a 30-page complaint against Oakland’s public schools, seeks to challenge the state’s authority to compel speech.

While some may view this as a battle against progressive policies, Festa deftly navigates this minefield by stressing his organization’s commitment to overarching principles of freedom and rights. This approach aims to
