Thanks to Harold for posting the video of the interview of Jeff Childers earlier. I wanted to add some notes. Everyone should check it out.
Jeff starts out stating how he was watching a county commission meeting for Alachua County, where they quickly passed the 1st mandatory mask mandate in Florida that was county-wide. He was so offended by this, and realized it was totally unconstitutional to dictate what people have to wear (something strapped to your head).
To that point Jeff had not practiced Constitutional or Civil Rights law in his whole career. He’d been a business contracts lawyer. But he fired off a Demand Letter to cease and desist. He had to figure out how to to serve papers to a government entity. This is summer 2020, the peak of mask hysteria.
In talking with his peers, Jeff was confronted with ‘why are you throwing your career away over this’. Going against the government can be bad for business.
Jeff pressed on and won the case (on appeal) with a finding that mandatory masking was unconstitutional (Nov 2020). This caused a flood of interest for Jeff to take similar cases, as most other attorneys would not. Next was a lawsuit, representing a group of city of Gainesville employees facing termination over refusal of the jabs. This case lead to a defeat of a local vaccine mandate (around Sep 2021), likely the first ever mandate defeat.
Jeff also took a Jan 6 defendant's case. Like the masks and the ‘vaccines’, no lawyers wanted to take these cases. Why is that? The large law firms are so intertwined with govt, so they have to be careful not to offend their govt clients. So they don’t want to challenge the published govt narrative.
Example: If a teacher somewhere can’t put up a ‘pride’ flag, then you’ll have ten attorneys there the next day. But if the teacher doesn't want to wear a mask, there’s no one showing up to represent them. The difference? One has the backing of the govt, and the other is the exact opposite ‘here there be serpents’. Challenging the govt narrative is a no go. This was the case for ‘tall building’ law firms, all the way down to 50-person law firms. They’re so dependent on govt, they are unwilling to challenge ‘official’ govt narratives. Jeff says “We have to break that interdependence between govt and our legal community, because it’s not good, whatever is behind this.”
In the video, Jeff goes on to explain how he had always believed in God, but in his early 40s he had a bonafide spiritual experience with a vision and everything else; he started going to church every week and tithing, it was a complete transformation. It happened on a bike ride. His wife says he came back from that bike ride a different, better person.
Jeff started to come more in tune with ‘suggestions’ that were coming from a divine source and not something he would have thought on his own, such as ‘sue the govt’. So he pays attention to those feelings. Jeff is going in to these challenges with this Spiritual Conviction. The Constitution is certainly good, but there is a higher power, and the Constitution itself refers to this, that our rights come to us from our creator. They don’t come from govt.
Why wouldn’t 10 attorneys from the ACLU come in to defend a teacher who doesn’t want to wear a mask? It’s very strange. It’s like there are forces of good and evil at play. Jeff didn’t feel he had a choice. If he wound up losing his career over it, he still needed to do it. He needed to say he tried. (much more in the vid!)
Thanks for posting that. Mr. Childers is called for the fight ahead. Our true crisis is a lack of integrity through all segments of society; people refusing to stand up for or even speak up for the truth. It's great to see people like Jeff circle "God" and not "Mammon" on the test.
Yes, rinse wash and repeat for Government trillions everywhere. Science as an example. The so-called science of CAGW (Climate Change) is corrupted by government grants and funding.
The "March Through the institutions", is almost complete. And my perspective is this tyrannical success is why you now see former comrades in arms nations, like the US and China, going hostile with each other. They are fighting over who is to really rule.
Based- terrific synopsis of the interview - you hit all the highlights - I truly believe that those of us who found out about Jeff early on were guided by a higher power - scratch that- by JESUS CHRIST - I’m among friends finally and the old me would have danced around the “spiritual stuff”. Not any more. It was the oddest circumstance how I found C&C - through a DC friend who I lost track of years ago and who briefly mentioned it in passing in a text when she found out I fled Chicago for Florida- not even sure how she heard of him! Relieved and grateful to be among all my fellow C&C’ers. We still have a reason for our hope. Would love to know how others learned of Jeff!
I came across Jeff from a grade school friend who had posted his blog on FB. That was around April/May of 2020, right after I had gotten COVID on a vacation in FL. I have not missed a post (accept when Jeff was in FB jail 🙄) I have influenced many more to read his posts as well. I’m truly grateful for every post. I feel he guided me to some sanity during a very trying time.
A pastor-friend of mine who also happens to be a friend of Mike Lindell's turned me onto him about six months ago or so. God is the ULTIMATE community organizer, Amen?
And why worry about their pitiful spying, when we serve the God of all the universe, who knows every single thought and action of all mankind at all times.
I am a member of a Fuquebook chat called "MAGA Million" which I joined in November 2020. One of the members shared C&C daily in the chat. Eventually, I figured out how to get it through email and Mewe. It has become a daily habit (can't seem to start the day without it). I have told many people about C&C and Jeff and will continue to sing his praises. He's the BEST!
C&C multiplied Feds for Med Freedom, a group I have been a part of since king Biden mandated jabs for federal employees. It was wonderful to expand my group of allies.
Annie - that multiplier was brilliant and gave us all access to the grassroots orgs who are really moving the needle- was so happy to learn of Feds for Medical Freedom!
I follow Dennis Michael Lynch on podcast, FB, and his app. He interviewed Jeff Childers earlier this year, heard that podcast and started reading his blogs each day. Two great sources of news.
My daughter was a fall of 2020 freshman at UF. I started following him on fb back then when someone on a parent page mentioned him. Things were so crazy in Alachua Co. I wanted to keep up with what was going on there. I’ve been a avid reader ever since.
Amy I’m in the Fort Myers area and I would love sometime to get a group of us Floridians together for dinner or something- I hope your daughter is doing well at UF. My daughter just graduated from Stetson University in May after two grueling years of pandemic learning which is hard to do when you’re a health sciences major and have to take anatomy and physiology lab online. What a joke. I think if us Floridians could network more heavily in the state we would have the local control that the leftists seem to have in places like CA and NY.
Excellent! Thanks so much to both of you for that work. Could you please cite or link to that Nov 2020 mask mandate case? I would especially like to read Jeff's pleading re unconstitutionality. of the same.
My arguments as medical expert witness against forced mask-wearing have been based on my research with colleagues showing health hazards of mask wearing, cited over the first five papers at https://PDMJ.org.
Great synopsis and great interview! I am so inspired by Jeff's willingness to 'walk the walk' that way too many people don't do - there are always the 'but's' Locally we too have a warrior in our court, Melinda Clark-Sann who has a similar story. She was a criminal defense attorney who was approached by a client who asked her to come to the defense of a local cafe that was shut down by the county. She is now a full time 'covid lawyer' who is a frequent speaker at local events sharing information on people's rights when dealing with their employers with shot and mask mandates and medical freedom. She talks about the 'golden handcuffs' and says too many people attached to material stuff, big title, big house, big car (payment) and NO flexibility in their lives to take a stand, leading them to say they have 'no choice' but to take the shot.
We always have a choice. And when we take that risk of losing what we thought was so important, God always gives us something better than we could have imagined.
I see Jeff behaving as Donald Trump did. Running towards the fire, when they had every excuse not to. Taking on the learning of completely new and vastly complex skill sets. Facing great adversity for raising their heads in the fight.
Donald Trump and Jeff Childers are heroes for the ages!

BFM, thank you for this background story! I’ve had the growing sense that God is using Jeff Childers in mighty and powerful ways, since I first started following his blog. These events are an awesome thing to watch!
What a based précis from Based Floridian! 🤩 Looks like our singular White Knight has got his very personal chronicler-biographer. Heavenly match made on substack 🔥
"Why wouldn’t 10 attorneys from the ACLU come in to defend a teacher who doesn’t want to wear a mask?"
Judas Iscariot and his 30 pieces of silver offer an example of the the "why". Never forget, we have FOIA info showing that the DHS paid media companies for favorable COVID coverage, I doubt the ACLU didn't mind dipping their grubby little hands into the honey pot of propaganda.

Thank you for that link, which I really appreciate for the legal fight against vaccine mandates, and was a great education in itself.
But does anyone have a link or citation for the Complaint in that mask mandate case?
Is this not it?
https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/zgvommyarvd/EMPLOYMENT_GAINESVILLE_VACCINE_complaint.pdf
Its linked in that news story
I don't find a link to the Nov 2020 mask case, only to the 2021 vax mandate case.
Polk County Parents v Polk County Public Schools?
Yes, I would love to see the "snot pouch" case, too!

This is sooo true.
She sounds amazing!! So inspired by these courageous fighters!
Huge thanks for your comments and for posting the Childers interview 👨
