“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Remember Citizen. We will arrest you for non-compliance on our Lockdown Orders and we have MORE than enough room for you now in our prisons because the dangerous virus that we intend to arrest you for is the same virus that has made us release prisoners so they won't get the virus so now with them gone YOU can now take their place.
I read that in high school, around 1975. Concepts from it have stuck with me to this day.
Another key thought, paraphrasing, "Would that the line between good and evil was between peoples, nation states. It is not. That line passes through the heart of every human being. We are all capable of both good and evil."
This paragraph has haunted me since I read it a few years ago. I knew when I read it that it was entirely possible it could happen at home. Sadly, it seems to be heading that direction.
There does need to be a precedent. Imagine what another country who wanted to restrict our freedoms could do with what they’ve learned from this. Release a man made virus right before an election, close everything down, and have thousands of mail in ballots. Or hack the ballot counting computers.
Or to hurt another countries economy so only the stores/ manufacturers that help/from that country stay open and survive.
What's insane is that it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the pandemic. Texas has had takeout food and less restrictions than Lefty states and we're fine. They are shutting down their states for pure political reasons. They need to be kicked out of office at a minimum, probably jail time.
Ok it's there. Look through the list of news items util you find THIS IS WHERE ALL 50 STATES STAND ON REOPENING. Select that item, and it comes right up!
They made an example of her. This is something to consider when some of you say "everyone open at once." Don't think they won't make an example of a few dozen.
I suppose the remedy is to make these cases as exposed as possible. (Won't be in the MSM)
Wait... Wtf? You can't get food to go at restaurants in Maryland? How the hell are people eating? That's all we do in Texas if we don't have groceries for the night... No wonder people are pissed

Make sense to you?
But if you put me in jail I might get the virus!
Don't know. But in the old days we'd just shoot em'.

Bill Barr needs to first handle immediately and decisively social media censoring.
Even Candace has now been silenced.
It would be nice if Bill did something other than writing stern letters.
A testimony of a very sad timeline
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago
Let's make it official: We call for no enforcement!
What exactly has Barr accomplished since taking over?
The letters are quite stern, I hear.
No Cover Girl compacts allowed
Condolence cards during funerals.
Crickets
Well he helped prosecute a bunch of Trump allies on fake charges...
Oh and he's doing a lot of work pushing for nationwide red flag laws.
There's that, I guess.
Amy Acton. Start with her. She started this.

A country good make a virus every year for the next 10 years and totally destroy the USA.
Thanks for this. OPEN US UP has a state-by-state list of opening status. You can easily look up your state.
I don't see any state by state information on OpenUsUp.
Ok it's there. Look through the list of news items util you find THIS IS WHERE ALL 50 STATES STAND ON REOPENING. Select that item, and it comes right up!
I'll check it again
Now I don't see it either, sorry.
Don't forget WA State!
And OR!
Don't leave out Washington state!
Inslee needs to be sued.
Barr is a swamp rat
I think Barr should go after all of the states
How did we get to the point where we have to order pizza from the black market and have it delivered by a secret underground delivery service?

Maine too please.
ARRIVERIA,
Please edit the OP to include Louisiana. Thank you in advace.
But the police wouldn't come for my guns if told too! They're patriots and would uphold the 2A.
If they are willing to enforce these types of bullshit Executive Orders: THEY. WILL. COME. FOR. YOUR. GUNS.
Amazing.
The time for suing is over... Let's see some arrests and charge them with treason...

Tyrant Newsom is out of control and is in dire need of a recall.
Don't forget kermit the frog IGE in Hawaii

Don’t forget New Mexico!
