Truth IS Truth: TRUE Health Freedom

My guest in this episode of Truth IS Truth is Leslie Manookian, President and Founder of Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF). I met Leslie in person when we were both speaking at a Rally in Harlem, New York city in September. When I found out it was her organization that got rid of illegal, unconstitutional Federal travel mask mandates, I gave her a huge hug.

 

The only time I ever put on a mask was to fly, and I hated doing that. And the only time I flew during that time was to speak at Freedom events. All through 2020 and 2021 I wore my badge of freedom that stated, “For Health Reasons I Cannot Wear a Mask”. My health reason was because I needed to breathe fresh air to stay healthy. I was so happy when that illegal Federal travel mask mandated was defeated in court.

 

Leslie founded the Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) in mid-2020. A nonprofit organization which seeks to rectify health injustice through education, advocacy, and legal challenges to unjust mandates, laws, and policies that undermine our health freedoms, our Constitution, and human rights.

 

Leslie is a former successful Wall Street business executive and award-winning documentary filmmaker. She writes and speaks on topics of health, freedom, nutrition, personal development, politics and more.

 

Leslie chose to leave Wall Street at the height of her career in order to pursue this more meaningful path. Leslie holds an MBA from the University of Chicago, a BA from Middlebury College, and M.L.C. Hom from Lakeland College of Homeopathy.

 

Originally from Idaho, Leslie’s career in finance took her from New York to London with Goldman Sachs. She later became Director of Alliance Capital in London running their European Growth Portfolio Management and Research businesses. She conceived, wrote, and produced, The Greater Good, an award-winning documentary on vaccines. Leslie has been featured in dozens of TV, radio, print, and Internet interviews including the New York Times, CBS, Fox, Bloomberg, and Barron’s.

 

Under her leadership, HFDF has sued government and private businesses successfully overturning unconstitutional medical mandates. In 2022, HFDF’s lawsuit, Health Freedom Defense Fund et al. v. President Biden et al.ended the federal travel mask mandate nationwide. HFDF’s lawsuits have twice halted the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) unlawful COVID injection mandates for employees.

 

The second of the cases against LAUSD, Health Freedom Defense Fund et al. v. Carvalho et al., led to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals clarifying that a 1905 US Supreme Court case known as Jacobson v. Massachusetts, does not apply to medical interventions designed only for the benefit of the recipient. A lawsuit against the University of Chicago resulted in the university reversing course and honoring religious exemptions to its COVID vaccine mandate.

 

As unlawful medical mandates of Emergency Use Authorized (EUA) products swept the nation in 2021, Health Freedom Defense Fund developed a suite of resources explaining federal law pertaining to EUA products. These resources have been used by scores across the nation to defend their fundamental right to bodily autonomy and voluntary informed consent.

 

In addition to the Health Freedom Defense Fund Board, Leslie currently serves on the boards of the Weston A. Price Foundation and Health Freedom Idaho. Leslie is a qualified homeopath, nutrition and wellbeing junky, and a health freedom advocate.
