Has anyone got a link to where there are videos that can be shared from this? Specifically the cops letting people in, Antifa fucking around inside, the passing of weapons from inside to outside etc. It would appear that anything I had has been scrubbed by big tech. Thanks a ton in advance!
prove me wrong.
I haven't fully dotted all the i's on this one. And it is not an area within my typical wheelhouse. But I know there are others here with experience and advice to chime in.
Every citizen possesses arrest powers. Albeit they are not as expansive as law enforcement. And the exact details and limitations will vary somewhat by state.
Arbitrary or capricious government edicts are unlawful. “An agency decision is arbitrary or capricious if: the agency has relied on factors which Congress has not intended it to consider, entirely failed to consider an important aspect of the problem, offered an explanation for its decision that runs counter to the evidence before the agency, or is so implausible that it could not be ascribed to a difference in view or the product of agency expertise.” El Dorado Chem. Co. v. E.P.A., 763 F.3d 950, 955-56 (8th Cir. 2014).
To be arbitrary or capricious, you only need to be 1 of these 4. Here, covid restrictions are at least 2/4, quite likely 3/4 and some creativity could get 4/4.
First, nobody ever intended this shit to last this long. Nobody ever intended for them to make restrictions based upon theoretical threats that have not yet manifested (e.g. Fauci talking about other variants that have yet to exist). Check #1
Second, they entirely fail to consider the consequences of the lockdowns and masking. Which is a hugely important aspect to consider. The unseen consequences of destroyed businesses kill lives too. The emotional toll on families hurts children and stunts growth. It can lead to suicide. All extremely important, and not even discussed, let alone considered. Check #2
Third, there is no "evidence" that any of these restrictions work. On the contrary, there is evidence that mask wearing actually causes problems. And this is demonstrable. On the flip side, nobody can produce a single study showing the efficacy of masks. But they can produce fake news of unfalsifiable hypotheses claiming to prove .05% "growth rate" reductions (not actual case decreases) in places with mask mandates. Which not only were in the margin of error (e.g. not valid conclusions) but are not possible to conclude. One cannot possibly isolate all the degrees of freedom to study this. It is a "cases went down, so masks work. Cases went up, but not as much as we thought, so masks work." Entirely unfalsifiable. The only thing they conclusively show is that masks show a strong and direct correlation to skyrocketing case numbers. Correlation does not = causation. But you can't say that masks work when they directly correlate with Atlas V rocket trajectory cases. Check #3
I won't get into #4. Someone smarter than me can try to make this case.
We ought to arrest those attempting to enforce unlawful orders. If they use force, they are assaulting us. They are without lawful peace officer powers if they are enforcing unlawful edicts. We the citizens should pay them back.
Yes, there are many nuances and do's/don'ts with this. And it will vary by region. This is why I posted. We got some fuckin brilliant pedes here. Lets get crackin and put our heads together. DO NOT take what I just said at face value and roll with it. This is a start, and I think we could really be onto something here.
This isn't a post to start a flame war, nor arguing for or against anything. And I would hope everyone can simply state their thoughts without it getting out of hand. I'm just gauging the patriot community's thoughts. Please be respectful, none of us can possibly know the answers. I'd like your opinions.
Obviously one possible outcome is that we would have solved all of this crap and we'd be on our way back to restoring our republic as a functioning one. Another possible outcome is that it could have led to a complete destabilization, with foreign adversaries taking advantage of our in fighting. Many different scenarios are plausible. What say you?
As to why he didn't...he could have been backstabbed. He could have lacked courage to see it through. He also may have felt that even if he had support of the right forces, not enough of the public would have accepted it. Another possibility is that we invented this scenario as being possible and it was never on the agenda. Or that serving out another term with a congress this worthless would have not been worth the squeeze of pulling off a maneuver like this. As in the above, many different plausible scenarios abound. What say you, patriots.win?
Masks have no effect. Closing businesses lacks evidentiary support. None of this works. "Fauci" is not science. And neither is a doctor or group of doctors proclaiming the sanctity of these methods. Science can be documented and demonstrated. And all of the evidence shows the opposite. Where are our legal SUPERPACS??
You can't mandate anyone take "experimental" anything. Vaccine passports for "experimental" shit doesn't fly. Even Obama judges would agree.
Why has not a single one of 50 state legislatures removed liability for COVID? Zero businesses would ever have a reason to require this if they could not face liability for COVID in the workplace. Fuck executive orders banning passports. Or even legislatures doing the same. Just take away COVID liability and all problems solved.
RINOS like Mitt Romney, Murkowski, Collins, et al, are people who don't believe in winning, and have never thought the globalists could be defeated. It is their contention that the best approach is to slow down the amount of suck coming out of DC. Reversing it has never been on the agenda because they don't believe it can be done. They make calculated decisions on which horse shit they will support in order to ensure their own survival and avoid being kneecapped by the globalists. Which, in their minds, we should be grateful for. Because they think without them, it would be a whole lot worse. This is why they are so arrogant, and constantly telling us how stupid we are for not falling in line with them. RINOS are defeated before they ever start. They must all go. We can't win with people who want to lose.
As a small business owner, I am sick and tired of being shit on while simultaneously generating enough revenue to multiple governments to pay to feed/cloth/house/educate dozens of families annually. I have been reluctant to turn business political, precisely because I abhor political "woke" pandering corporations. I don't want to be what I despise. I just want to do what I do regardless of politics. I also am willing to take your green money, even if it comes out of sticky red hands.
Today, however, was somewhat interesting. I met with some clients, who walked in the door, holding masks in their hands. Obviously, I did not have one on, nor did I even have one. The first thing they did was start to mention they brought them and could put them on. Before they finished the sentence I was like "get those things outta here, we don't do that around here..." And you would not believe how big their eyes got and the smiles on their faces. It was greatness.
Honestly, I am somewhat afraid of the amount of shit publicity I inevitably will get for going there. I'd like to hope that revenues would increase in spite of the cancel attempts. But I do fear what local/state governments might decide to inconvenience me with for drawing attention to myself.
Any based business pedes have any advice here? How did you all manage the heat? Or did you get any at all? Did you get awful shit written in the papers about you? I would love to read about your experiences.
Where's your section 230 reform bills, dickheads? Where's your contempt of congress votes for zucky & dorsey? Not holding my breath because they aren't coming. Frauds, the lot of them.
What purpose does forcing payment of a $200 tax stamp + an epic and inexcusably ridiculous wait to process the papers serve for buying an SBR/SBS/Supressor?? If I can legally buy the weapon, I can legally get the tax stamp. Hence, it is not "protecting" anyone, but it is taxing my constitutional right. If they made you wait a year and pay $200 for your voter registration, or issued $200 speech permits that you had to wait for, you'd be slam dunked out of here by even an Obama judge.
The NFA serves no purpose but to grift and also to inconvenience law abiding citizens. It must be struck down. Fuck the NFA.
Because it disproportionately disqualifies people of color from purchasing firearms. Background checks are systemic racism in action. The Democrats want more systemic racism legislated.
This border situation and illegal immigration problem is entirely of our own making. And it has become an absolute humanitarian disaster. Those of us (such as myself) that consider ourselves "conservatives" are not without culpability here. And before you blast me, hear me out.
I didn't do a lot of smart things when I was younger. But one of the few smart things I did do was learn to speak Spanish. This has been a great joy for me, as it has opened a lot of doors. And I thoroughly enjoy the language. Through this ability, I have learned a lot more about how disgraceful the system we have set up actually is. And a good chunk of that is on us.
We have been fighting the same battle on illegal immigration for 60 years. And it has been the identical battle since the '86 amnesty bill. Every single election cycle we are stuck in the same bullshit arguments. Republicans are racist and hate hispanics, and Democrats care more than we do. Both are farcical. But we keep getting stuck there. This perpetuates this outrageous system where we continue to be the only country in the world without active border enforcement.
The people coming here are overwhelmingly seeking to exit absolutely destitute conditions. The drug cartels have obliterated any semblance of tranquility in northern Mexico at the behest of we conservatives who have for decades continued to elect representatives that pay to fight a lost cause "War on Drugs" in Mexico instead of within our borders. There are over 100k murders a year in Mexico, mostly as a result of the cartels.
There are estimates that Mexican drug cartels earn between $500-$700 billion a year from drugs alone into the US. This is insane. This is a retailer that dwarfs the next 10 biggest legitimate retailers combined in the US. Nobody can tell me that a business of this stature could exist without tacit US approval. And it probably is another skim where there is 10% for the big guy, or they fund raise to pay for things that the US taxpayer might lose their mind about if it were done through the legitimate congressional appropriations process.
Obama destroyed what little function there was in Honduras when he first took office. Now the entire place is like a war zone. You would want to act like there was a curfew and not go outside after dark in most places. It is like Lord of the Flies there. Could anyone expect that those with the means would not attempt to go somewhere else for a life not like this one? Of course not.
El Salvador is similarly dysfunctional. And appears to be a training ground for guerilla enforcers (MS-13) that carry out all sorts of black ops for the deep state. This country lives in eternal fear. Nobody would stay if they had another option.
Which leads me to the shit show that is our immigration system. We don't have one. We have large swaths of people and political leaders that pretty much openly advertise that everyone should just show up. We also have made the process to come here legally from those countries next to impossible. We simply don't take people from there. The number of legit visas we do issue that are not chain migration connected are so tiny. And this is legislatively purposeful.
These people do not have realistic options to become legal members of our society. They can do a handful of things to do this: (1) Marry a US citizen; (2) Give birth to a US citizen (which is helpful but does not guarantee anything); (3) Go back to their home countries and apply to return legally, but since they were here illegally they are barred from reentry for 10 years; or (4) do something mildly illegal, and hope the immigration judge does not find you to be an ongoing threat; then you will get a work permit and can stay.
To those of you who continually say "I don't give a shit, deport them all! It is on them, they knew they were breaking the law, it isn't my problem..." this is entirely an unreasonable and unrealistic undertaking. Sure, theoretically this is true. But the economic disruption would be monumental. Have fun getting all those Americans to fill the construction jobs instead of collecting checks from Uncle Sam. These are not exploitative jobs; they pay extremely well. Americans simply won't do this manual labor at just about any price it seems.
The truly exploitative labor is the legal system of imported labor they have set up. The seasonal farm workers are amongst the most exploited. The wages are allowed to be next to nothing, because the employer "provides food and housing" which is not unlike the "food and housing" convicts receive when sentenced to prison. And often, these people have to pay 10% to the big guy under coercion, so the money is even worse for them.
Of course, I do not advocate for, nor do I want a system that gives citizenship to people who came here illegally. This would be outrageous. And unnecessary. The people that come here illegally just want a better life, to be able to provide for their families both here and abroad, and would love the chance to be able to freely travel to and from their countries of origin. Citizenship is not of interest except to Democrats, who want more votes.
But we cannot expect anything less than what we've got so long as we continue to push (1) deportation for all; (2) endless drug wars that put small time economies up against the purchasing power of the American consumer; and (3) a legal immigration system that simply does not accept sufficient numbers of people.
This subject is more comprehensive than this post. But this Biden Border Shit Show (BBSS) has greatly upset me. I feel absolute disgust at the images I've seen coming from that border. This should not happen anywhere. There ought to be severe consequences.
Anyone want to get a change.org petition going? We gotta get some laws banning murder before another shit show like yesterday happens again. Who's with me??
Because it is getting harder and harder to govern you pedes against your will.
WTF?
Are they going to replace them with Dominion 2.0 with a new name?? Sounds like I ought to buy KY lube futures if this is the program.
