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.
Just sent them an email, thanks for the heads-up Sundance.

I have lived in the Old North State since the last century, but left in 2020. I had no idea where Wendell NC was. It turns out it is a suburb of Raleigh. Raleigh exists to service the state government, so it is far-leftist — certainly not the real South. In any case, I moved out of NC to an actual red state earlier this year and am happier — no lockdowns where I live now. I don’t have to deal with that idiot Governor Roy Cooper and the rest of those commie morons. (But the places to which to escape are getting more and more limited.)
Raleigh moved to Wendell. The same way other small towns get swallowed up. it was in no way a suburb. It was farmland which is why you had no knowledge of it.
Words that require repeating
The media is very very powerful in its image-making role. Our media is the most powerful entity on planet earth. The have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the mind of the masses. If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
The same radical people who are laying out all the rules for your future are the same people that created all the issues they say must be dealt with. As said by Einstein “ Expecting the same people who caused a problem to fix the problem is a sign of insanity”.
I’ve had enough of someone else propaganda. I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matters who it’s for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole. We are not supposed to be so blind with hate that we can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don’t believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn’t want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I’m not going waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn’t know how to return the treatment.
We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity. If you and I were not a Democrat or a republican but were instead Americans there would be no problem.
I, for one, will join with anyone – I don’t care what color you are-as long as you want to change the miserable conditions that exists in this country. The future will only belong to those that prepare for it today.
Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything, they just cry over their condition. But, when they get angry, they bring about change. The time has come to get angry.
I’ve been saying for awhile now, even back before Trump started being harsher about it. At first he was like “Fake news!” but in sort of a semi-joking way. Slowly he got more serious about it, and then eventually changed to “enemy of the people” and “evil”, etc. And yeah, THAT is more like it. I think the media is far more dangerous than even high-level politicians. And I hope they understand that if we every descend into hot civil war, they will not be covering the violence… they will be direct participants. And they’ll wish they had been on the right side of history.
I usually watch Bannon’s war room on youtube. I also watch Peak Prosperity’s video’s on Covid-19. I have also been watching some of the live casts of the vote theft hearings around the country.
Youtube rarely shows these or any related videos in my recommended videos. I have to search them out. Imagine that – a company creates an algorithm to try to prevent me from learning certain information. We are living in a time in the US I never could have imagined.
I sometimes feel defeated because this is something smart people should have been screaming about for the last 5 to 10 years. This didn’t just happen, it has been a process.
And it’s not accidental. There are sinister people orchestrating much of this. I think the best, and maybe the only solution, is to find them, arrest them, and try them for treason.
Fantastic comment Jim!
I couldn’t agree more.
I’m all in for wanting PEACE.ON.EARTH.
Oh my. Your post is soul food for me tonight.
Thank You.
Jim, you speak the truth. The leftists, deep staters, globalists, communists, etc. (lump them all into one) and their media / propaganda minions strive very hard to divide and isolate us– at least to make us believe that we are isolated. We can choose not to play their game. Let’s get off the social media, ignore their population control rules (under the guise of “Covid”), meet face to face, assemble as we desire, make telephone calls instead of text messages and e-mails. Their biggest fear is that we will talk to each other, find common ground, define the common enemy and then take the necessary actions to right the wrongs. There are at least 74 to 80 million of us adults. Standing united– we will prevail!
I don’t understand why Trump allowed this to happen. Why did he allow Fauci and Redfield to control the narrative?
I have believed that masks provided some protection by limiting the amount of virus a contagious person put into the air and also limited to some degree the amount of virus a person wearing a mask would breathe in. I didn’t expect 100% prevention or even 90%, but I thought it would reduce the amount of virus to the point my immune system had a good chance at fighting it off.
But now, based on a new study, it doesn’t appear that mask-wearing has any effect at all. The CDC’s guidelines say wear a mask, wash your hands, and social distance. I would say their guidelines have been a 100% failure.
I’m at a total loss. I have no idea what the best strategy is. I still have no idea why President Trump never addressed this.
Poorer countries, like India and Central and S American countries, have been using Ivermectin both as a prophylactic and as treatment with a great deal of success. It greatly reduces the death rate, even more than HCQ which must be used early in the disease.
It is criminal that NIH and CDC never developed an effective prophylactic treatment and an early infection treatment. Again, why Trump left these people in charge escapes me.
perhaps people wanted Trump to fail and gave him bad advice. Maybe Trump was overwhelmed with attacks for three plus years…
You could tell his gut was telling him things weren’t right, but for some reason, he backed off.
Here in Louisville, over 40 restaurant owners have signed a petition and will open their restaurants at 50% capacity on Dec. 14.
Gov. Beshear has ordered them closed to inside dining since before Thanksgiving. Go to kyrrc.com for info.
What we do know is viruses are worse in the winter. Again, why didn’t the CDC have a strategy?
The only good news is the regular flu is hardly having any impact so far this year. Things tend to balance out.
Yeah, COVID just hates to regular flu virus. In fact, the flu has just decided to skip out entirely, apparently gone into hibernation for fear of angering the Mighty COVID. Or… maybe… hmm….
I have to admit I don’t have a medical background. I’ve been trying to compare the total annual, all deaths, for 2020 to previous years. I want to know if there was actually an increase of deaths, all causes this year. So far, I have been able to find this information.
I did find some limited information on the seasonal flu which showed almost to be nonexistent.
To the health professionals, on the Treehouse, here are my questions:
What are the total deaths, by year, for past five years? Projected year end for 2020 (annualized).
Did the seasonal flu morph into the China virus?
Can PCR tests distinguish between flu, covid, or the common cold? I have seen information that they only determine a virus is present, not the types.
I ran across this study by John Hopkins published 11/22/20 regarding the number of deaths per cause from 2014 to 2020.
[The article claimed that “in contrast to most people’s assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.”
Wait, what? Really?
That’s what it says. And, it should come as no surprise that the article was retracted within days because it “was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic,” according to JHU.]

I still remember one of the first Zoom seminars I participated in re Covid 19 with (an un-named homeopathic physician lest the hounds of the electronic media descend upon him to discredit him and make his life a living HELL said);
“I have spent 20 years trying to develop a test for LYME disease. I still do not have a test that accurately identifies what the agent is that causes all of these debilitating symptoms in my patients. And now overnight, there is a test developed for Covid 19?”
This brilliant person who has helped me so much to improve my life conditions without anything related to Big Pharma, also said “Thank God for President Trump that he promotes the use of Hydroxycloroquiniline.” His statement has been imprinted on me.
Mixing the fear of death from as yet un-captured isolate of what the COV-19 tests are based on (a formula from taken off of the Internet in Wuhan) combined with the electronic malfeasance in the 2020 Presidential Elections, talk about a CLUSTERFORK.
Still working to wrap my brain around the machinations and planning that it took to bring all of this into the biggest, WORLDWIDE PSYSOP ever. Day by day.
I still know that facts add up, 2+2 still= 4. THINK FOR YOURSELF. It’s the BEST DEFENSE. And no, I will NOT EAT THE INFO CAKE served on a platter.
Like in the movie Avatar where the characters shrill “MASKS ON!” This whole thing is a crock of sH*t.
And when these crooks and liars are exposed “OH Happy Day!” When the knowledge of what has been wrought on the people of the world sinks in , oi vey. Antifa will be exposed as a limp d*ck, do nothing, nobody movement.
I can only post the lyrics but the Walls are Crumbling Down. Embrace It. Enjoy IT.

Historic landmarks destroyed, savages loot and burn in Raleigh while city and state leaders watch. Law not enforced as police stand mute…and Regenia gets a mask violation. Hmmm…
As a 5th generation Wendell native, thanks to Gov. Coop’s directive for giving my small town much needed publicity to boost our economy. Wendell is thriving with it’s ‘small town charm’.
Gathering of supporters today on Main St. in Wendell, NC. Flags waving, people cheering, talks of a free people expressing their rights of expression as stated by our founding fathers. The days of apathy have passed.
Is “aiding and abetting the violation of an executive order” a thing?
Seriously. Aren’t executive orders instructions to members of the executive branch? Has this store owner been forcibly inducted into the executive branch of the State of North Carolina?
