Angela Marsden is an owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill since 2011.  They are barely hanging-on to their business amid the insufferable COVID compliance dictates from LA Mayor Garcetti, the municipal COVID compliance officers, and arbitrary COVID decrees devoid of any scientific merit.  Today the weight of it all became too much:

The Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill has a website [SEE HERE] and a contact page where you can show your support. Amid these challenging times fellowship and a spirit of community within the common sense rebel alliance is critical. Make sure you do not allow people to think they are ‘on their own’.

Many people may not remember the February 2009 famous rant by CNBC financial pundit Rick Santelli that captured the heart of the Tea Party movement in response to massive announced bailouts of Wall Street institutions.  There are trillions at stake.

Wall Street pundit Rick Santelli was originally responding to the famous TARP,  Auto-bailouts, Porkulous, Omnibus, QE1, QE2 and ultimately the American Recovery and Restoration Act (ARRA ie. stimulus ‘shovel ready jobs‘), all of which were financial bailouts and payments for politically connected financial interests and unions. None of these programs assisted Main Street USA with a dime.

Fast forward twelve years later and here we are again. The same voices, with the same playbook, with the same insufferable political manipulation under the guise of COVID compliance mandates.  The ‘never let a crisis go to waste crowd‘; and the soon-to-follow massive state spending bailouts; for which COVID is the purposeful cover story.

COVID-19 has more purposefully weaponized political arrows than any previously used financial quiver. However, if you step-back and compare the agenda – there is a brutal amount of similarity… all of the exact same benefactors…. and Main Street collapses.

This is the progressive way to a Marxist economy.  We The People are collateral damage.

The real “green new deal”…

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe explains the scale of declassified evidence he has produced to special counsel John Durham.

Whether Durham or AG Bill Barr does anything with the evidence is an unknown; however, according to Ratliffe there is enough detail in the evidence provided to show gross abuses of power by the FBI, DOJ and intelligence community under the Obama administration.  This aspect becomes important as you realize almost all of Joe Biden’s executive staff is from the identical pool of former Obama officials.

WASHINGTON DC – “Between my predecessor Richard Grenell in an acting capacity and myself, we have declassified most of the intelligence community documents that would be suitable for the public to see, that wouldn’t jeopardize sources and methods,” Ratcliffe said in a phone interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “There are others, many many documents — I think it’s been out there that I’ve provided literally thousands of documents to John Durham, but many of those do contain sources and methods that we can’t make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that’s going there. So I think the level of cooperation — I’ve given them everything that they’ve asked for.”

“There was an abuse of power and of legal authorities, and it’s not a question about whether those things took place — they did. I mean, there’s an FBI lawyer who is going to jail for counterfeiting evidence before the FISA court. And that after all of the Obama-Biden senior national security officials said the idea of illegal spying and abuse at the FISA court is a bunch of nonsense, and now, they’re sprinting the opposite direction,” Ratcliffe said. “I mean, literally, every one of them — Comey, McCabe, Yates — they’ve all said, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re shocked and had we only known.’ And so, again, the American people deserve an accounting, and I’ve certainly provided a lot of information to the now-special counsel to provide that accounting, and I’m counting, like all Americans, on him to talk about a lot of the things that I know that I can’t talk about.” (read more)

Was this the Plan all along? Let them blatantly steal the election then expose them?

It doesn’t matter how much election fraud evidence piles up. Outrageous crimes against We The People and our right to vote were planned in advance and coldly executed late into election evening by Democrat operatives who colluded together to give Biden the lead.

The election of basement Biden defies reality. Sleepy Joe is a chronic liar and a demented pedophile who uses government to enrich himself and his family. He did badly in previous presidential primaries. Few attended his rallies when had them. Still, Biden was chosen by Democrat elitists. The primaries were rigged in his favor. Why? Because elitists such as Hillary and Obama knew Biden was corrupt to the bone marrow. He would do whatever the Swamp told him to do. Kamala Harris likewise. Biden knew it was pre-rigged in his favor. The aging old sniffer with his fake white teeth and bald head knew it would be stolen for him. Now he’s announcing a cabinet that will be packed with Deep State operatives. These are people who will do their best to expand the Swamp and most likely start new wars as they further strip from us our jobs, our liberty, and our dignity.

The Democrats will not admit any election wrong-doing whatsoever. They refuse to listen to witnesses who have signed sworn affidavits. The lying legacy media will not consider that election fraud occurred at all. They spew constant lies and tell us the election was clean as a whistle. They say Biden won. End of story. Deal with it. They say we all need to shut up and move on, even though massive voter fraud and a stolen election is staring at us all straight in the face. Even foreign countries were involved in the steal—most notably the communist Chinese.

We need to do more than simply point out the massive fraud. We need to reverse the steal. We need to return to Trump the states he rightfully won. If necessary, let’s vote again in the swing states. No computers. No mail-in ballots. Have paper ballots filled out by qualified voters in person. Make sure officials from all parties get to watch the votes tallied by hand—polling place by polling place, precinct by precinct, county by county, state by state. If that happens the truth will come out: Trump won by a landslide.

Get rid of the voting machines entirely. Drastically limit mail-in voting. Let’s give the American people our elections back. Let’s make sure Trump gets the second term that he has rightfully won.

—Ben Garrison

Hundreds of people rallied in support of the defiant bar which refused to close on Staten Island. The group Proud Boys who are conservative also ignored COVID-19 restrictions to show their support for these draconian lockdowns. The protests against Cuomo are starting to show resistance. Governor Cuomo’s unconstitutional grip around New York City has tried to crush the people and the economy. Cuomo is destroying their fundamental rights. With no arrest warrant, NYC Sheriff’s officers arrested Mac’s Public House owner Danny Presti for attempting to operate his business and feed his family.

Comrades, a shop owner in North Carolina has been given a citation by local COVID Compliance Authorities for non-compliant signage in their store allowing previously free-range citizens to enter the establishment without masks.

If the promotion of respiratory freedom, by free and independent citizens in a private commercial building, is now a violation of the COVID regulations; well, how long before that intrusive citation applies inside your private residence.  Think about it…

WENDELL, N.C. — A North Carolina store owner has been cited for encouraging customers NOT to wear masks in her store. Police said the signs violate Gov. Roy Cooper’s mask-wearing order, which was imposed to preserve public health during the coronavirus pandemic.

Wendell General Store owner Regina Harmon was cited Wednesday with one count of aiding and abetting the violation of an executive order, news outlets reported.

Wendell police received a complaint that Harmon’s store posted signs stating: “Masks not required, exceptions to every rule” and “We request that you not wear a face covering, for the safety of our customers and staff.”

Wendell Police Chief Bill Carter said officers investigated and cited Harmon after consulting with the Wake County District Attorney’s Office. (link)

The Wendell General Store has a website [SEE HERE] it is a good thing to stand with them and express your support.  Letting people know they are not alone is a very critical component to overwhelming the authoritarian state.   Support and fellowship is key.

Many people talk of a foreboding sense. A sense that something is very close to erupting on the surface.  I believe, and have said for months, the eruption will come as a result of overreach by control authority in reference to COVID dictates.  We are very close.

The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.”  When the people lead, the politicians are forced to follow.

Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power.  None.

As a result, the nonsense ends when the majority of We The People no longer give our consent.

How do We The People retract our consent? We simply refuse to comply.

When the majority of people simply refuse to comply with unilateral dictates, and laugh in the faces of those who attempt to enforce them, the government no longer has power.

If one person refuses to comply, the government or control authority can, and likely will, intervene. However, if tens of thousands rebuke these unconstitutional decrees, there isn’t a damn thing govt can  do to stop it… and they know it.  A non-compliant snowball becomes an unstoppable freedom avalanche.

Local, regional and state officials know they can control the behavior of an individual. If one barber shop opens, the owner becomes a target. However, those officials also know they cannot control the behavior of the majority. If every barber shop and beauty salon in town opens… there is absolutely nothing the government can do about it.

If one restaurant and/or bar opens, the state can target the owner. But if every bar and restaurant in town opens; and if everyone ignores and dispatches the silly dictates of the local, regional or state officials; there isn’t a damned thing they can do about it.

The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people in that municipality deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.

Yes, it really is that simple.

They want you to think otherwise, but it is not true.  If WE THE PEOPLE demand freedom and stand together the control authority is useless.

Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear.  Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security.  Local, regional and state officials rely on fear.  As soon as the people are no longer fearful, the control ends.

The overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws. There was no debate; no input from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the decisions.

All unilateral rules are arbitrary, and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary compliance.  As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of the rules has expired.  If masks are so effective then why didn’t government give masks to prisoners, instead of releasing the inmates?

Liberty is inherent.

The removal of liberty requires consent.

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..

~Sam Adams

Remember that, and think carefully about it.
