It was General George Washington who said, "If you want peace, prepare for war."
It's time for America's business owners to fight back against a tyrannical government. Some might call that a revolution. But in this case, I'm talking about a war fought in the courts. I'm talking about a legal battle. It's time for lawsuits -- lots of them.
It's time to defend our civil rights. It's time to defend our property rights. It's time to make tyrant governors understand this isn't a dictatorship and we're not their serfs.
First an important question about the coronavirus. I am impressed with how smart COVID-19 is. It appears to be the smartest virus of all time. Apparently, it doesn't infect us at Costco, Walmart, supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations, hardware stores or any big business deemed "essential" by government. But it will infect us at hair salons, nail salons, restaurants, bars, clothing stores and any other small business deemed "nonessential" by government.
Is the virus that smart? How does it know the difference?
And have Costco employees found the holy grail? Are they immune around crowds of shoppers while the coronavirus is kryptonite to all other employees and shoppers at all other businesses? Why can't every small business open up if it follows the exact same guidelines as Costco?
Something is wrong, folks. None of this makes sense. Does it?
This can't be just about a virus. If it were, we'd all play by the same rules, right? It sure seems someone is using a real deadly pandemic as an excuse to inflict terrible damage and financial death upon 30 million small-business owners, entrepreneurs and independent contractors in America (not to mention their employees).
And it just so happens that big chain stores, big chain restaurants and billion-dollar businesses (including the Los Angeles Lakers and giant hotel chains) qualify for small-business emergency loans, while 99 percent of the mom-and-pop businesses I personally know haven't gotten a dime, have been rejected for Small Business Administration loans or have gotten a measly $1,000. Don't spend it all at once.
As long as I'm telling you about things that make no sense, is it possible that in our United States of America, the government can tell small-business owners they have no rights; can't open for business; don't have a right to feed their family; and will be forced to lose everything they've worked their whole life to build?
Is this possible?
Even if you comply with the exact same guidelines of big business and big-box retailers like Costco? They can remain open, but you can't?
And if you try to open your business, you'll be arrested. Because business owners making decisions about their own property are now criminals. Really?
But at the same time, that government that persecutes business owners runs a scam called sanctuary cities. That same government allows illegal aliens (i.e. real criminals) to walk free; protects them; actually takes taxpayer money from you and me and gives them welfare, food stamps, housing allowances, free health care, free education and tax refunds from the IRS, even though they pay no taxes.
Is this possible?
And, of course, this same government that wants to prosecute taxpaying business owners and mothers playing on swings with their children refuses to hand illegal-alien murderers and rapists over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.
Does any of this make sense to you?
Because if all of this is true, it may be time for a revolution. But I want to avoid bloodshed. I want to avoid civil war. I want this revolution to be peaceful. So, as a last resort, I suggest it is time for massive class-action lawsuits. It's time for the Supreme Court to protect us from our own government.
It's time for every small-business owner in America who has been shut down by the government, denied civil and human rights, denied a right to earn a living, denied a right to feed their children, denied the right to make their own decisions with their own property to go to court.
It's time to prove the U.S. Constitution still exists, that it's not just a piece of paper to be shredded each time government feels like it. Yes, it's time to go to war with our own government. But I'm hoping it's just a legal war to be decided in court.
And after we win back our freedoms, win back our right to earn a living and protect the U.S. Constitution -- after all that, I have important advice for President Donald Trump: Don't bail out any state or city with a dime of our taxpayer money unless it agrees to forever end sanctuary cities, to stop using taxpayer money to hand billions of dollars in handouts to people in this country illegally and to stop shielding illegal-alien felons from deportation.
Until then, give state governments the same answer they're giving right now to every small-business owner and independent contractor in America. ...
Let them eat cake.
The liberal leftist Democrats along with the help of the media will kill you to get what they want. How far are YOU willing to go? Better think it over. It is beginning.
Look at any survey: this point of view is in single digits.
This is not going to happen. Perhaps people should vote.
Don't worry, I'm sure the ACLU will protect us. /s
Sadly....in the USA...Civil War is afoot...witness the long guns on display. I hope it never comes to pass...but, I do not want to be a Democrat or a Democrat Media person. The Democrats have pushed this loss of personal freedom & liberty, too far towards tyranny and “Big Brother” Orwell Government, & the American people know it!!! Sad days coming for the USA!!! I pray not!!!
Gov Cuomo just postponed all school board and budget votes til June.
And all voting will be done by mail.
So much for voting.
We need Ghandi-like resistance. Peaceful, but determined. They can’t arrest us all.
This is also the time to be very careful how you frame this in non-encrypted internet talk.
I would view it as a second Revolutionary war. The foe is the same world dominance forces we fought back then. It is now less defined by countries and borders including our own. We fought mother England because they wanted to rule over our country. Then like now they’re are citizens of our country who are on the wrong side. Many more now and most don’t even know it. When the useful idiots realize they are becoming useless eaters it might be too late.
Just read Dave Blackmons daily update. Scary stuff. Oregon governor is out of control. Extended shut down until July 6. Wow
It is not just 1/2 of the government that is the enemy of freedom, it is half of the population.
At least half of your neighbors, family members, friends support the leftist dictators who are in government. They voted for them and they will vote for them again even with the dictators clearly showing their true nature during these last few months.
They all would gladly murder you, folks, if they knew they could get away with it.
Buy weapons and ammo.
JoMa
Yeah that’s what I’ve been saying too. Fight these government tyrants.
The Austin mayor just said on local TV that if he could he would enforce a 90% stay at home order if he could. ...meaning he would stop the governor from opening TX.
This guy is such puts. ..Steve Adler. ...commie nutjob.
He says only he knows what jobs are essential and what are expendable.
Biden’s accuser is being threatened and harassed for complaining about his sexual assault, while general Flynn was jailed on manufactured charges for political reasons. Our governors are micro managing our lives for vague and arbitrary reasons.This is not America and the people behind these atrocities are not Americans. When and how do we get our country back? Where is the tipping point? I don’t believe it’s too late for a soft revolution where protest and the courts can save us but eventually that opportunity will be gone. What then?
Just a thought, if the people of Oregon sit idly by and do nothing but whine, then enjoy your servitude . Freedom requires action.
I live in a tiny town. It has...er had a cute trendy little main drag and lots of historical houses in town.
There are now signs up and many are not reopening. The virus killed the town.
I’m grateful I live in a state that is physically, ideologically and politically as far away from there (and california) as I can be.
“The virus killed the town.”
Not sure I totally agree my friend. You sure it was the “virus”?
But I want to avoid bloodshed. I want to avoid civil war. I want this revolution to be peaceful. So, as a last resort, I suggest it is time for massive class-action lawsuits. “
The War Washington was talking about involved bloodshed. The extreme desire to avoid bloodshed is how people wind up up against the wall and helpless. Malefactors aren’t afraid of doing damage or violence...but they KNOW that YOU are.
Good luck with your “revolution”...
“It is not just 1/2 of the government that is the enemy of freedom, it is half of the population.”
47% welfare and entitlement recipients (welfare mommies, college students, disabled, immigrants, retirees), blacks, unionists, teachers, gov workers, guilt-ridden emo white women, millennials.
15% “moderates”
Maybe 20% rightists that won’t fight suppression and tyranny.
Leaves maybe 18% that might fight for liberty and constitutionalism
There definitely are no more political solutions.
