In the spring of 2020, just as the novel coronavirus and COVID-19 was spreading, few could have imagined the imminent social controls and restrictions that would be placed on millions in the weeks and months to come. Dr. Aaron Kheriaty explores who the unelected technocrats in the “biomedical security state” are, how they shaped governments’ responses to COVID-19, the extreme restrictions placed on millions during the pandemic, and how to defeat the new bureaucratic bioscience authority. Kheriaty challenged the prevailing wisdom on lockdowns and vaccine mandates and advocated for free speech, all with our liberty on the line. His latest book goes in-depth on why lockdowns resulted in horrific impacts for students and businesses, what makes individuals like Dr. Anthony Fauci so dangerous, and how we all can stop the new biomedical regime before all personal rights are eradicated.

Geronimo and his followers’ clashes with the United States Army in the Apache-U.S. conflict is documented by Brands, as both Geronimo and Sherman’s battles in the 1870s and 1880s represent a fight for pride, strength and courage from two of America’s most revered warriors.
