Ep.25 - Fired for Speaking Out: Dr. Aaron Kheriaty's Battle with UC Irvine

They fired the ethics chair for being too ethical. Dr. Aaron Kheriaty's termination from UC Irvine exposed something darker than anyone imagined - a censorship apparatus so vast that a federal judge called it the worst free speech violation in American history.

Speaking with Dr. Johann D'Souza, Kheriaty pulls back the curtain on his journey from respected academic to medical freedom warrior. The man who taught informed consent for 16 years couldn't stomach violating it. The result? Not just job loss, but discovering government agencies from Treasury to State were censoring Americans on everything from monetary policy to foreign wars.

Now more productive than ever at think tanks, authoring multiple books, and founding the Hippocratic Society, Kheriaty proves that professional martyrdom can lead to resurrection. His prescription for moral courage: Study Thomas More and Franz Jägerstätter - men who understood that when forced to lie, death itself becomes freedom.
