Hawaii Charges Illegally Quarantined Student with “Truancy”

"Truancy" is defined as a student's willful irresponsibility towards school attendance. By prohibiting the student's attendance, then filing a harassing complaint for "Truancy," effectively threatening to take the former student away from her parents, state officials
are exposed to a counter suit for violations of state statutes, aggravated assault, gross negligence, criminal malfeasance and ongoing harassment, according to Dr. Horowitz's court filing that seeks a restraining order for Alena's immediate return to school.

Incredibly, the "truancy" complaint was filed by Dircks who administered Alena's forced quarantine, warned her and her parents not to set foot on school property, and rejected appeals from Horowitz, faculty members, and other parents, to discuss the laws covering religious exemptions and immunizations publicly. The State's complaint seeks to compel the family's signatures on home-schooling form 4140 making Dircks the child's exclusive home-schooling supervisor.

Citing Dircks's lacking trustworthiness, and numerous other reasons their academically gifted, socially-active, athletic child should not be home-schooled, the State's demand is viewed as "aggravated" assault, harassment, and extortion given the Court's capacity to break-up families and place children in foster homes requiring them to be vaccinated and TB tested contrary to religious convictions and exemption laws.

According to form 4140, home-schooling also threatens the child's academic record and Carnegie accreditation, another reason the Horowitz's believe they should not be compelled to sign the form.

Dr. Horowitz, an expert in public health and outspoken critic of vaccinations and TB skin tests, has been working to get Alena back in school since her quarantine in September. He initially sued the State of Hawaii for violations of TB testing standards, religious exemption statutes, and school administrative rules, but his complaint was dismissed on a technicality without hearing its merits.

Attorney Gary Zamber of Hilo is working to file a similar case with alternate plaintiffs. Using Horowitz as an expert witness, he hopes to obtain a judicial declaration stopping religious persecutions by reaffirming existing state laws that guarantee religious exemptions for students whose parents are demanding the restoration of their civil rights.

By dishonoring religious exemptions, and denying the application of Hawaii's state law granting them, officials are breaking at least half a dozen state and federal laws, according to Dr. Horowitz's filing.

Despite this formal charge of "truancy" being an aggravated assault on his family, Dr. Horowitz says, "it gives us the opportunity to serve the Hawaiian community."

Most people believe vaccines are safe and TB tests are effective despite documentation that proves otherwise. "Yet both have caused many problems health officials disregard and neglect to tell parents when coercing their 'informed consent' to these toxic injections," adds Ingri Cassel, Director of Vaccination Liberation (www.vaclib.org), the nation's leading vaccine activist association.

"I have openly declared Dr. Horowitz an American hero for having the courage to wage the most difficult of battles by exposing the exponentially growing public health disaster threatening the health and well being of our entire nation."

"The fact is," Dr. Horowitz explains, "TB skin testing is a century-old immunological examination that should never be given to low risk children in public schools, including children throughout Hawaii, despite high immigration rates. State officials have been illegally refusing religious exemptions, criminally violating health laws, falsely advertising outdated TB skin tests as 'harmless', and refusing modern alternative tests. We intend to bring them to justice."

According to Dr. Horowitz's "conservative" analysis, for every child identified with active TB through skin testing, 500 are severely injured. Thus, he argues, state officials have no scientific consensus or legal right to administer TB skin tests to people with no to low risk, or to those with bona fide religious objections.

"Unfortunately," he says, "people who have not done any independent research on this topic tend to naively trust health officials to do the right thing."

Dr. Horowitz's "truancy" hearing is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 18, in Hilo's family court. This bizarre case will be heard by Judge Ben H. Gaddis.

TB-testing Scam Exposed: Cable Television Production Available Nationally for Free Local Broadcasting

Hilo, HI —A cable television production called "Tuberculosis Control Program Exposed" by Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz is being circulated free of charge in an effort to educate people about the risks of TB skin testing school children, and other low risk populations, contrary to accepted standards. The show exposes medical negligence as a community service administered by people who commit to scheduling the broadcast through their local cable stations.

Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, an internationally renowned expert in public health whose daughter was forced to leave school for failing to get a TB-skin test, produced the 58-minute broadcast-quality DVD. He asserts the "TB testing scam" advanced nationally violates numerous state and federal laws, civil rights, religious freedoms, medical standards, bioethics, risk-benefit science, and rational reasoning.

The program was filmed shot in Hawaii where students, regardless of state laws providing religious exemptions, are forced to accept the blood intoxications for school admission.

Published by Tetrahedron, LLC (www.tetrahedron.org) in an effort to bring urgently needed attention and public education about the risks of TB skin testing and violations of citizen's health freedoms and civil rights occurring across the United States under the guise of "TB Control," the production is being mailed freely to people who pledge to schedule broadcasts through their local cable television stations.

During the program Dr. Horowitz relays the story of his daughter's expulsion from high school. Alena Horowitz, a straight "A" student and member of the school’s varsity cross country team, sought her religious exemption from the TB test as was her right under state and federal laws. Health agents denied her exemption and illegally forced her quarantine.

The violated laws state that during a declared epidemic, or imminent danger of outbreak, a religious child may be forced to leave school as a quarantine measure, but only when a vaccine is recommended for the exempted condition. Even then, public health officials must prove the danger of the epidemic within 72-hours of the forced quarantine, publish a public statement, or retract the action none of which they did.
The risk of TB infection in Hawaii, considered among the highest in U.S. states, is still far below what experts and State officials need to declare an epidemic. Yet, health officials are taking emergency measures anyway, setting a dangerous national precedent, illegally exercising "fascist control" over the lives of people, Dr. Horowitz says.

"Worst of all," he explains, "thousands of children and many more adults are being falsely diagnosed as TB positive and then persuaded and coerced into poisoning themselves for 9 months with toxic drugs known to cause serious psychotic reactions, nerve impairments, blood diseases, and chronic liver damage within 2 months. Approximately 25% of people taking the required TB drugs for merely 2 months sustain serious injuries."

Through a reasonable statistical analysis filmed for cablevision, Dr. Horowitz says this injury rate evidences "gross negligence, and widespread medical malpractice." He concludes the "TB Control Program" fulfills the "Webster's definition of genocide . . . the mass killing or enslaving of people for profit using drugs that cause side effects highly profitable for Big Pharma."

Dr. Horowitz says this story is much like the feature film, "The Constant Gardener," available in video stores, depicting a similar "TB skin testing scam" in Africa enriching German drug industrialists allied with British government officials.

"TB Control Program Exposed" by Dr. Horowitz for community access cablevision is being distributed as a public service through the national Vaccination Liberation organization (www.vaclib.org) and Healthy World Distributing, LLC (www.healthyworlddistributing.com).
