In the early days of COVID, on July 27, 2020, Dr. Simone Gold organized doctors and social media influencers to hold aWhite Coat Summitin Washington, DC. This was an entire day of physicians combating the propaganda of masks, lockdowns, school closures, early treatment, and fear mongering. In the middle of the day, the doctors held a press conference in front of the Supreme Court, which reached twenty million views in just eight hours, becoming the most rapidly viral video of all time. They were on track to have 100 million views by the next morning-but all Big Tech coordinated to simultaneously deplatform them.
Instantly, Dr. Gold became famous-or infamous depending upon your perspective. Suddenly, this board-certified, emergency physician and attorney was fired from her job. She pivoted to speaking the truth about the government's deadly COVID policies andappeared frequently on news and social media. OnJanuary 5, 2021, she was invited to speak on medical freedom at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, and on January 6, 2021, she wasamong twenty scheduledspeakers who were granted a permit to speak on the Capitol grounds.That is where this storybegins.
Selective Persecution: The Legalization of American Fascismexplains how the infrastructure of fascism has already taken hold in the United States. Weaving a narrative from her personal experience as a COVID whistleblower and her forty-eight minutes around and inside the US Capitol Building on January 6, Dr. Gold walks readers through the array of COVID lies and corruption, the course of January 6 itself, her arrest, her prison experience and that of other women in prison. She endured a militarized FBI SWAT team arrest, was victimized by the Department of (in)Justice and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and witnessed massive corruption of the judiciary. She was persecuted by the California Medical Board, the New York Bar, Congress, TSA, FBI, and defamed by the press.
Selective Persecutionis Dr. Gold's chilling story about how a weaponized federal government can be turned against any citizen.
