Dr. Northrup said despite all the adversity, like-minded people who weren't buying the narrative being forced on them did still manage to find each other amidst that psychological quagmire. “There's this thing called the 'soul family'. It has nothing to do with your genetics, it has to do with your soul. And so, we found each other,” said Dr. Northrup. “We found each other everywhere, in every state, in every town...even in Portland! We're everywhere. The beauty of Maine Stands Up is that we know each other. [But] there are still thousands and thousands of people who don't have anyone to talk to about any of this stuff. They think that they are the oddball. Pretty soon, we are going to turn it around.”

Dr. Northrup explained that while Maine Stands Up is composed of mostly Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, the group remains non-denominational and is accepting freedom-minded people of all religions and beliefs. “We love you if you're Buddhist, we love you if you're Muslim, a lot of us identify as Christians. What was the first and great Commandment? [It] is love one another. So, we really have to start there.”

While many MSU members are Republican, the group is less about party labels and more about a freedom- family- and community-oriented ideology. Dr. Northup said she was invited to speak at various county Republican party meetings in 2021 and walked away unimpressed. “That’s when I realized the Republican Party is not going to save us, either,” she said.

On the other side of the political aisle, one lady in the audience told this reporter that she recently left the Democratic party after decades of membership because that party no longer represents her beliefs and values.

If Maine Stands UP had a political ideology it would be Freedom and Community, which is what most on the Left and Right would agree to.

The keynote speaker at the conference was attorney, Ron Jenkins who works with Maine Stands Up to help secure the medical rights and freedoms of all Mainers. Jenkins has experience litigating against several foreign governments, the U.S. government and pharmaceutical companies who have historically abused the general public with experimental drugs given to unwitting recipients which have destroyed their lives. His most recent cases, though, have been around the toxic, experimental gene therapy drugs masquerading as the COVID-19 “vaccines” and all of the damage caused by them. He has also worked with MSU earlier in the plannedemic to force the State of Maine to disclose the excessive sensitivity of the infamous PCR tests which showed how wildly inaccurate and unreliable they were as “positive cases” were essentially being made up out of whole cloth by the experimental and unverified test kits which were being used to affect people's lives and livelihoods with the often-time inaccurate designation of “testing positive” for COVID.

During his presentation, Jenkins explained the horrific PREP Act, a law passed by Congress and signed by former President Donald Trump in 2020 which gave an unprecedented level of legal immunity to all the pharmaceutical companies and anyone in the chain of custody of their purported “vaccines” from the manufacturer all the way down to the local school nurse, pharmacist or doctor who injected the experimental drugs into the arms of people in the public. “They're all said to be immune except [for] two requirements that have to be met,” explained Jenkins. “The first one is that the [vaccine] injury inflicted on the person must have been inflicted willfully. It means maliciously, basically. The second is the person must have suffered serious physical injury or death. If you can't tick both of those boxes, you can't have a claim and even if you can tick them, your claim is sent to an administrative claims process that leads nowhere in the bowels of the government.”

Jenkins explained how the PREP Act is a massive hole in the law that is being so broadly interpreted by courts around the country that it is becoming farcical. He gave a hypothetical example to illustrate his point, “Let's imagine somebody goes into a Walgreen's, gets one of these shots, they leave the Walgreen's, they slip on a piece of ice, they crack their head open because the Walgreen's didn't sand the sidewalk - classic slip and fall type of case. You can't sue Walgreen's for that, even though your injury - cracking your head from slipping on the ice they didn't fix - had nothing to do with the 'vaccine', they're still immune under the PREP Act. That's how the courts are applying this statute, that broadly. That is crazy, folks.”

The day was spent hosting panels of people who spoke on various subjects such as Creating Community, True Health, Local (conservative) Media Outlets, Public Service/Climate action, local School Board activism, Home Schooling, and Farmer/Fisherman updates.

Mal Stevens, is co-host of the Kennebunk MSU group. He spoke on the importance of community as we go into an increasingly authoritarian and oppressive top-down style of government. “I've spent twenty years trying to build community in various ways. My definition [of community] is pretty strict, which is living and working in proximity,” he said. “But, unfortunately we don't really have that with like-minded people.”

Stevens has traveled around to various MSU groups in Maine meeting all different kinds of people. “The majority of our people are older women. I see that as a strength, having a power base of wise women. But, I think about my parents who are in a retirement community - of their choosing - where you take a whole age group and put them in behind a gate. We need to be living in multi-generational communities and societies because the elderly need the energy and joy of the youth and the youth need the wisdom of the elders.”

Stevens also mentioned his group is developing trade routes and procedures for people in the local community to help trade with each other in the event things really go south - such as societal collapse, grid down scenarios, government malevolence, or major, long-term natural disasters. Knowing your neighbors and what their abilities and needs are along with establishing a way to barter and trade their products and services locally within their own local community is something his MSU group is continually developing ideas around.

The MSU conference also discussed health care, home schooling and even had a panel consisting of the only conservative news media organizations in the State. They were: Guy Lebida, from The Maine Anchor newspaper in Bowdoin; David Deschesne, from the Fort Fairfield Journal, in Fort Fairfield; and Dave Ireland, from Dave's Paper, online newspaper and DP-TV in Lincoln. Steve Robinson from The Maine Wire was also invited, but could not attend. These four organizations are the only media groups actively using real investigative journalists to reveal malevolence in government in an attempt to hold it in check. Nearly all other television, online and newsprint organizations in Maine are too cozy and friendly with their corporate sponsors and government who all share the same kind of authoritarian government agenda, leaning heavily to the Left in most cases.

Introducing David Deschesne, from Fort Fairfield Journal, Dr. Northrup said, “When I was smeared in the [Maine Sunday Telegram] early on, he wrote a rebuttal, coming to my rescue for every single point that [they] made.” (ref. Fort Fairfield Journal, May 19, 2021. On the web at https://www.fortfairfieldjournal.com/fte/051921.html)

There were more than a dozen vendors displaying at the MSU conference. Music was provided by Jimmy Cornish and Bill Colby.
