Global Health Freedom Summit: Our Story We got tired of seeing the mainstream media brainwash the nation in 3-5 minute sound bites by bringing in compromised and biased "experts" who are in the pockets of Big Pharma.
We knew it was going to take more than 3-5 minute soundbites to combat the Lies and reveal the TRUTH. We realized America needed LONGFORM conversations and presentations from True Experts who can EXPOSE the holes in the propaganda, and are NOT biased, paid-for puppets of the pharmaceutical industrial complex.In the fall of 2020 we launched the Global Health Freedom Summit as a live, in-person event in the face of government "mandates". (...mask up, shelter in-place, v-passports?, we heard it all....) 
The MN Attorney General heard about us, called us a potential "Super Spreader" event and threatened to shut us down. But in spite of that, almost 2,000+ people showed up for the 2020 event anyway!And that was it! 
We did it again in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025...And Now 2026 we are expanding into the Dallas area Freedom Summit - Dallas • TX! And honestly, we’re pretty proud!
