Kate Brown, the Governor of Oregon, was rather ambivalent in her approach to violence during the time Portland was torched by radical mobs. In fact, she thanked “Oregonians for expressing their free speech rights largely through joyful celebrations…”
But Gov. Brown apparently did some soul searching since the election. She found a joyful celebration about to be held by unquestionable enemies of the people. It turns out actual domestic terrorists are Oregonians who wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s extremists who wished to dine on turkey and all the trimmings who are dangerous, as they are potential super-spreaders of disease and destruction. Therefore, it’s Thanksgiving celebrations that need to be tightly regulated. It’s Thanksgiving celebrants who need to be fined and sent to jail if they transgress the regulations the governor has established by executive order.
Among those regulations?
Private social events are to be limited to two households or six individuals in a closed group (including Thanksgiving); masks are to be worn in your own home on Thanksgiving, only removing them when eating; and you are not to leave your home during the two-week shutdown. Consequences include a fine of $1,250 and possible jail time. Neighbors should report non-compliance.
It is hard to avoid the suspicion the Governor wants the bulk of citizens locked within their domiciles while radicals once again roam free
The tight regulations during the holidays do make one think about the examples of the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China.
We might recall that citizens of the Soviet Union were not permitted to celebrate Christmas until 1991, when the USSR collapsed. As Emily Tamkin noted in an essay published in Foreign Policy, czarist Russia, which was widely Christianized, celebrated Christmas. But the Russian Revolution ushered in the communists, who were anti-Christian secularists. She wrote:

“...It’s us they hate, and want to eliminate....”
Yep...plain as day.
Perhaps we should “return the favor”?
The old saying: “Kill or be killed” comes to mind...just sayin’.
They came for Easter back in Spring.
The county Czar in Houston prohibited access to city parks from Good Friday through Easter Sunday.
Even before the election my employer was planning to keep the office closed through next summer

Sure seems like a conspiracy to me. Create a pandemic, get the corrupt corporate media involved and the tyrants come out of the woodwork. Enabled by their bureaucratic minions.
Maybe we should start shooting them?

Prohibition-era recipe for Rum soaked fruitcake.
Get a quality fruitcake in a metal tin.
Each day, for an entire month, dribble no less and no more (or it will get soggy), one Tablespoon of Myer’s Dark Rum over the fruitcake in the tin, then replace the cover.
The rum will sink into the cake, dissolving sugars that will then re-crystallize. At the end of the month, Christmas visitors should be given a thin slice with the kick of a mule.
It is *de rigueur* to leave a small dish with some whole cloves by the cake, to help cover the alcohol smell.
A friend advised me that any leftover cake makes a passable substitute for plastic explosives.
