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 final eruption will come as a result of overreach by control authority in reference to COVID dictates. We are close.
In Washington State the entire town of Mossyrock has united to defy the COVID-19 dictatorial fiats of the State Governor Jay Inslee. This is how the rebellion will succeed.
WASHINGTON STATE – Mossyrock Mayor Randall Sasser said he had talked with people from around the state who had come to help out. Steve Hurst said he came from Olympia because he thinks the governor is overstepping his power. (read more)
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.
What’s needed now is for entire (especially rural) counties to declare that they’ve got a better handle on the local conditions, and declare themselves open.
I posted on this thread last night and I’m back again. This town got me! I’m so pumped up about these people pushing back. My sister and I got into it at Thanksgiving about this exact topic.
I gave her the example of a crowded store w/customers who take off their masks at the same time. What would happen? Will management clear everyone from the store, arrest everyone, etc? She agreed but wanted a national/statewide day for this. I countered with social media censorship.
Round and round we went. She hates the covid crap and knows it’s BS but she’s not the type to risk her job, cause a scene, etc. She’ll join civil disobedience but only after “enough” people begin. I sent this post to her last night. I can’t wait to talk to her later.
Go easy on your sister and those like her. It is very hard for he mind to cross over to rebellion when being a law abiding citizen is ingrained very young. Plus, those fears are real. How long will it take, do you think, for children to be removed from the home for COVID noncompliance and the single mom with no money for an attorney accused of child abuse?
and for the rest of America – when the “essential wokers” decide to support the rest of us and stay home the mandates will fall, just like in this town. The people making the mandates cannot continue without the “essential wokers”, that’s why they’re classified as such.
This is exactly why I keep thinking if every last Trump voter across the fruited plain stopped paying their taxes it would be mighty hard to arrest 70,000,000 people and it just might get D.C.’s attention. Just a thought from a wee plebe.
Merle, this is a very interesting idea!!! No taxes without representation! Trump represents US. DC swamp does not – why pay them? Chirping from my twig.
I actually think we are closer to 80 million … I believe “hammer & Score card” disappeared Trump votes in Trump won states just to reduce President Trump’s total vote numbers.
How about they disappeared Trump votes in states he didn’t win . That would keep Total Trump votes down and not arouse suspicion
you know the democrats are going to spend the next four years improving their cheating techniques so we have to be prepared.
Yo don’t get it, there will not be another far fraud free election! And the fake ones will be Dems forever our country is over, you just don’t see it yet.
Yes. We have to get it right THIS time. If we don’t, there will be no do-over. The can has been kicked down the road on vote fraud, that we have run out of road.
Pretty much. They have just begun to cheat. 4 billion a year in lobbyist payments, of course the entire gov’t is corrupt.
the more the better. but how to quietly, unobtrusively does this rebellion manifest itself? we small but many minds must gather our forces and come up with a plan. quietly.
Pick out your own target and method. Do it alone. Don’t involve others. Not even family. Never talk to anyone else. Destroy all tools and clothing after.
The underground. Don’t let new faces into your circle.
Do I hear 100 million? All bids considered.
Most people
1) dont pay taxes
2) have their taxes with held from their paycheck
If you are employed by anyone other than yourself, your taxes are paid before you are paid. So no way to “with hold” them. File an updated W-2 and they are still going to take a minimum amount from your check and you dont get to opt out of SSI/FICA.
Just being practical on how most people cant accomplish what you are wanting.
So YOU are saying “No taxation without representation.” That sounds familiar to me for some reason…
“No taxation without representation” is a political slogan that originated in the American Revolution, and which expressed one of the primary grievances of the American colonists against Great Britain. In short, many colonists believed that as they were not represented in the distant British parliament, any taxes it imposed on the colonists (such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts) were unconstitutional, and were a denial of the colonists’ rights as Englishmen.
The firm belief that the government should not tax a populace unless that populace is represented in some manner in the government developed in the English Civil War, following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax.[1] In the context of British taxation of its American colonies, the slogan “No taxation without representation” appeared for the first time in a headline of a February 1768 London Magazine printing of Lord Camden’s “Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies,” which was given in parliament.[2]

There *will* come a point the citizens have had enough. The left will ensure that b/c progressivism can’t help it. By its nature it must always seek the next step – or there is no “progress”.
that point is now.
Note the stupid media dope wearing the mandatory useless and gross and disgusting face diaper of submission. While outside and essentially 0% chance of contracting a flu virus.
Mossyrock may be our flashpoint that breaks the stronghold. I hope so being stuck in the northeast.
The important thing will be the Sheriffs joining with this effort. I’m not sure the overall status of this but if Sheriffs refuse to carry out these Governors’ orders then the whole thing will collapse.
You are correct. We have a number of good sheriffs here in AZ who have said no, to enforcing mask or lockdown “mandates”. I know WA has some good Sheriffs – their counties are where patriots need to be!!!
Sheriff of Riverside County, CA refused to enforce Gov. mandates.
Reporter with a mask on, nobody else.
We went to About 5 gun shops in Tulsa, and Broken Arrow, no masks and one in BA had a sign “no masks allowed inside”.
A couple walked in right in front of us with masks on and the owner immediately said “no masks, leave or take it off.” They were young and mad. They did take them off but left soon after.
The whole little scene was enlightening.
The sign said “no masks” yet they wore them in.
They did what they were told without hesitation, took them off.
The time between the mask removal and when they exited, about two minutes, they put them back on.
I assume free breathing was awkward?
The longer this mask thing goes the more ingrained it becomes. Our friends have went from ‘ oh well it’s easy’ to ‘oh my I will die if it’s not on’.
Also, this mandate here says “the city will back you in enforcement.” But only if the owner complains.
She’s not just wearing a mask. That thing on her face is practically a burqa…
That’s part of the this whole monstrous thing. To acclimate us to burqas. Not this Tulsa cowgirl!
Not a mask in sight! I love it!
Wouldn’t it make it easier for the people to “rise up”, as Doctor Scott Atlas put it, if the people advocating for the bizarre and unscientific “restrictions” were not sitting pretty, secure in their positions of authority on the president’s own task force?
In my book, when someone has perjured himself, as Dr, Redfield has done, you don’t keep that person on your team.
I would normally be in church at this hour. My church, like many, had an internal battle of the masks, social distance, singing bans, etc., and guess who won?
The have the fact that Vice President Pence fully backs these measures, to fall back on. They don’t believe that the White House would support a gigantic set of lies.
I’d like to remind everyone that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen restrictions on where we may physically stand, enacted by unseen “health” dictators.
A lovely woman I used to work with left her longtime family physician, in favor of a walk-in practice. Her doctor had joined one of those burgeoning medical “groups’, and in compliance with HIPPA regulations, they started putting lines on the floor telling patients where they must stand.
Pharmacies did this too, and office personnel in these places started getting mouthy about what you could or couldn’t ask them about your own family’s treatment.
HIPPA was well before Obamacare. This has been installed incrementally, to get people used to the idea.
Like vampires, the “public health” monsters have to be invited in, and they were unwittingly invited in to the White House. We are fully aware of who these people are by now, they haven’t just moved the goalposts to “until a vaccine is found”, the goal is now “forever”.
Yet they remain. I am not trusting the plan. There is no plan. All here is, is daily suffering under the yoke of oppression disguised as an emergency. The emergency has been extended three times, at the federal level. That’s well beyond the fifteen days.
When is enough enough? Old people and kids have to take to the streets? Really? Can they be given something to go on?
Why isn’t Rasputin gone, why does he still work for the president? You fire liars.
I was there yesterday and met people who drove 2 + hours to come.
Nice little town in my County (Trump Country), about 25 Miles from where I live & off Hwy 12, the same road as Spiffy’s Restaurant that has been fined $67K by Inlsee.
Trump & Culp signs are still up everywhere in Lewis County, WA.
Idaho here. My county went 75% Trump. We’re not going to comply. End. Period. Dot. I travelled to CA to see family. We gathered. I hugged and kissed everyone as I whispered in their ears “F covid.” & “Merry Christmas!” I offered them Vitamin C with Zinc. LOL. We’ve had a wonderful time. We’d been missing one another terribly. Everyone was so happy to gather!! The tyrants wish to crush our souls. We won’t let them. If I do nothing else, I will set the example for refusing to comply with unConstitutional tyrannical “orders”.
We need help to stand! The owner of my gym is being fined $9,600 every single day. The accumulated fine is astronomical. Probably well over 100K now.
Someone put together a go fund me for him.
But it’s NOT to pay the fine. It’s to get the constitution and bill of rights painted on the front windows for all to see. There are a lot of us out here that just want to be left alone. It’s time to stand!
https://gf.me/u/zcgwkq
The fines aren’t affordable. Either close up and lose the business, or stay open and get fined. Might as well stay open just to screw the state.
“The owner of my gym is being fined $9,600 every single day. “
*****
That is the club that they will use to compel compliance. Draconian fines followed by confiscation of bank accounts, wage garnishment, seizure and auction of home and other property. IMO, this will be the initial step in process of removal of firearms from private citizens.
I don’t do “GoFundMe”. They refused to help some patriots, so I figure it’s another site all in with Google & FB. Besides, hard to know what’s legit.
I love seeing the sheep reporter wearing a mask amid all those open, smiling faces. Since the maskers (irrationally) claim that you wear your mask not to protect yourself to protect others, I assume she thinks she’s a carrier. Doesn’t she see that the citizens around her aren’t afraid and don’t need her to protect them, or more accurately, pretend to protect them?
Gosh I so love being retired I can tell them to eff off and no one can do a damn thing to me and my yob.Cancel me baby knock yourself out.
I love this! These people we exercising their First Amendment right to assemble peaceably. The restrictions are not laws. Executive Orders are not laws – they are suggestions. Laws are passed by a legislative body with input from the public, signed by a governor or mayor, and subject to judicial review.
Only if you take a lesson from History with this. Only violence or the threat of violence, even the covert threat of Gun ownership,is able to enforce the ” will of the People”. Otherwise they just bring in superior firepower and troops and force you to comply. What they can’t have is a Massacre or a pitched battle with citizens. This is the banner cry of Civil War, all governments know this and try to be careful to avoid it.
Our government forgot this at Wayco, and killed innocent women and children and almost sparked a revolution. They got lucky (using a lot of spin and propaganda) to pacify the public outrage.
They almost did it again at the Bundy Ranch standoff. But some one in Government was smart enough not to go there. but if masses of people had not showed up with guns, they would have just forced compliance, like they do with all other protests.
Look at the protests in Hong Kong, they have no weapons, so what does the CCP do? Roll out the Military to force compliance, round up the resisters and send them to prison or internment camps.
I do not advocate violence. Just that History shows us what works to force our will on a government and what does not work.
History proves that no corrupt government is defeated without bloodshed and violence.
BLM and Antifa get this.
That’s ok, in Afghanistan they had rifles and rocks we stayed nearly 20 years to not win. You are the afghan’s never let them take you down or our country. There are lots of urban holes they do not know about.
I still cannot get over how easy all of this was, a handful of politicians have brought our country to its knees over an overblown flu bug.
Along with the fraud filled election they got under the covid shut downs. Sorry Joe but you are not my president I will never comply. You are a threee time fraud this time they got you a seat though, now we must remove you and headboard Harris.
Sure wish our small town would do that and fight back. Drove around last night and it is just so sad to see all of the restaurants with empty parking lots and outdoor decks on a Saturday night. Holiday lights up everywhere but the town feels like a ghost town.
What these politicians and bureaucrats fail to remember is, the most dangerous person in the world is the one with nothing to lose.
I am not talking about those never have hads, like Antifa. Those drug addicts, derelicts, Maoists and Marxists, only want to steal the hard work of others. No, I am talking about the hard working business owners and employees that have had everything taken away, due to no fault of their own. Taken away by GOVERNMENT. They had what they built, and now it is disappearing. THOSE are the people I am talking about. When you take all they have, they will get despondent, and then they will get pissed. Then they get dangerous and motivated.
The field has changed and the politicians and bureaucrats better realize what they are doing before the people show them first hand. Once it starts it will be Old Testament, baby.
I pray that government starts listening.
These people have pushed too far, for too long and have been smug and arrogant while doing so. The covid hoax got people irritated. Stealing the election, the media blackouts and censorship has people angry. Now we find our court system all the up to the top is corrupt and broken. To top it off we get more and more confirmation by the day that China has infiltrated every segment of our government and society with the help of greedy traitors.
China and the swamp have completely disregarded one important point. It’s easy to control people who have never known real freedom. In our case they are trying to take it away. It’s only going to take one spark and the powder keg blows! It’s only a question of where and when.
And I praythe folks start getting even.
Denying consent is a good step. Good on Mossyrock.
There are other ways to use in conjunction with denying consent.
Kick the bums out.
Ohio –
12 articles of impeachment filed against Gov. Mike DeWine by fellow Republicans
https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/politics/republican-ohio-lawmakers-file-impeachment-articles-against-governor-mike-dewine/512-5f393398-c989-4e0e-b34c-64f52588a94c
When was the last time you contacted your state reps?
What if – to help people get over the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” problem – we started No Mask Mondays? Upload and post your videos to rumble or other video sharing site, and post them here. And specifically target the businesses that have not been shut down like Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Lowes – the big box stores.
Boycotts wind up hurting the wrong people. But what if we did something more affirmative? It would actually be pretty fun to tell anybody that says something to you, “Today is No Mask Monday, I don’t have to wear one today,” and keep shopping.
I was at King Soooers last week and from the time I walked in to the time I left I did not wear a mask. This was during the evening rush. Nobody said anything to me. But, there is no denying that very, very, very few people are going to do that sort of thing out of raw fear. Not fear of the government, but simple fear over what other people think. We have to recognize that this fear is normal, legitimate, and needs our help to overcome. The State has spend 11 months terrorizing people into compliance. A lot of people know it is stupid and useless, but they are legitimately afraid of becoming social outcasts, or (worse) being targeted at work and losing their jobs.
As I walked around the store disobediently, I monitored how I felt and how I perceived everyone was looking at me and judging me. What I concluded is that your average person would NEVER do what I did. BUT, if had some fun with it, called it No Mask Monday, and posted videos having fun doing it…that would be constructive. Bonus: calling out the outrageous double-standard that Home Depot gets to stay open, but my local small business sushi restaurant has to close at 5pm to in-house diners.
You don’t build community and fellowship calling everyone “cowards” which I see in the comments on this site multiple times per day. We build them up by encouraging rebellion by showing them rebellion. Make it fun. Keep it light. Plenty of “everyone knows this is bullshit, so why don’t we just say it?” sarcasm and derision. But you also have to recognize that their EMPLOYERS are demanding this as a condition of employment…so focus it on consumer activities first.
Finally, we are targeting the wrong people with these protests. The core problem is these large businesses that get to stay open and the unelected, unaccountable, bureaucrats who run these County Health Departments. They pay no financial cost for these lockdowns…especially the bureaucrats. They have the power to shut down economies, but they keep their jobs and they keep getting paid. I feel like if there are protests, those protests should target the Health Department officials. The Governors don’t give a shit because the Governors don’t have to obey their own rules. Plus, they’re usually super-wealthy and the bad economy has no impact on them.
County Health officials? They’re mid-level bureaucrats and they are much more embedded in the communities they are destroying. Seems to me we’re yelling at the wrong people and the wrong people are not afraid of We The People.
How about stay home Mondays?
i havent worn a mask since the beginning of all this. i will not be vaccinated
I have not either.
But they can issue $10,000 fines to everyone and then collect them at their leisure. Arresting people for nonpayment a few at a time over the course of a year or so. Tyrants will never give up.
sounds like you’ve already given up. why do you feel the need to tell us all that you have?
This is what they should do in NYC. Everyone go to work, open their restaurants at full capacity, every teacher and student should go to school. This time of year the city is loaded with tourists. There are are hundreds of thousands in the 5 Boros, what will the governor and mayor do, arrest everyone?
So excited to see an entire town stand up! I have been encouraged when various sheriffs have posted videos saying they wont enforce the insanity. If we know the police will not enforce and they stand with us…that DOES help…. My police officer brother in law was just informed that if he doesnt take the vaccine….and then he gets the virus he will be forced to be off work for a month with no pay. A HUGE blow to his family. Basically comply or starve? What a way to thank those who put their lives on the line to protect us. My sister and brother in law are normally vaccers (I am vehemently NOT). Yet even they are very disturbed by the use of such force and blatant trampling of freedom. So if there is some horrible side effect from this very new vaccine…..too bad for you…. Force. Control. Fear. Threatening the livelihood of those left with jobs, not to mention the ones who’ve already lost theirs. Freedom isnt free. We need to organize. I’m not on twitter or facebook or parler or gab for many reasons but those of you who are on any of those platforms…..we need to get the message out. Just as weve organized car ralleys for POTUS and peaceful protests….organize our peaceful protest of the mask.
I like the idea of no mask mondays….to the friend who came up with that idea….but let me add to it. NO MASK TUESDAY. NO MASK WEDNESDAY. NO MASK THURSDAY. NO MASK FRIDAY. NO MASK SATURDAY. NO MASK SUNDAY. Pass it along?❤
Mossyrock is so small that they probably have only one of each business. It’s cities that have to say, “Nope”. This like a flea attacking an elephant – but I ‘spose it has to start somewhere. I’m in favor of counties seceding from States, isolating the cities. Each county should get one vote each, no matter how large.
How did they hurt the NAZIs? The underground.
test
Been saying the same thing all along. Stop obeying. That’s all there is to it.
Wooot!!
Add Solvang, California to the list!!
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/ca-tourist-town-refuses-to-comply-with-lockdown-order
“Last week, Solvang’s one-term Mayor Ryan Toussaint filed an emergency motion in a city council meeting that the town would not follow the lockdown order. The motion passed unanimously 5-0.”
A-freakin-men!
But everybody waits around for somebody else to go first. you have to be willing to be that first guy.
He might not be the governor legit; Massive fraud took place in the WA elections too.
Good for these people, to see them tell the Govt. that they are not there property is refreshing…
