(H/T Todd Starnes) Carlos Roman is the owner of a Bread & Barley restaurant in Covina, California, who reached his breaking point with health inspectors and COVID compliance officers when a public health dept. official ordered his restaurant to shut down.
[Facebook Video Here – Article HERE and HERE]
Mr. Roman decided if he was going to lose everything; if his employees were going to lose their livelihoods; if the system was going to destroy them under the weight of unilateral decrees and fiats; then he was going to block the health inspector from doing his job.
The police were called-in to deal with Carlos Roman’s act of defiance. The situation within the video speaks for itself. People are getting desperate… Acts of resistance are spreading. American workers and Main Street are being destroyed… Meanwhile congress wants to send hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds to foreign shores. Think about it.

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.
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, and think carefully about it.
Amid these challenging times fellowship and a spirit of community within the common sense rebel alliance is critical. Make sure you do not allow people to think they are ‘on their own’…. There are more of us than them.
May God bless Mr. Roman.

Fear is a double edged sword. It can be a useful survival tool that hones instinct and reflexes. It can also crush one’s spirit and drain hope from the soul. When the government weaponizes fear and pushes for the latter result, the will to live will manifest in an unpredictable manner. We shall see.
On that note about fear; courage is NOT being “fearless” i.e. WITHOUT fear.
Courage is ACTING, despite your fear.
All due respect, Patriots are, IMHO NOT even “Courageous” in this sense.
The moment a Patriotic citisen becomes a Patriot, is when the experience a mental paradigm shift; when the realise IF THEY DON’T ACT, it is certain that all they hold dear, will be lost.
So, there then is no thought of “IF I DON’T act, perhaps I can RETAIN that which I hold dear?” THAT option is taken off the table, with absolite certainty.
Once their is that realisation, “enlightened self interest” and logic take over. “If inaction GUARANTEES loss (of ALL I hold dear) than the only logical coarse left to me is action, because “WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOSE?”
And, it is this specific outlook, which makes the Patriot such a formidable fighter; they are fighting to retain ALL they hold dear (survival, livlihood, lifestyle and progeny) AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, as its ALL ALREADY LOST.
People can, and have in our current situation, on an INDIVIDUAL basis, experienced this mental paradigm shift, it ‘happens’ slowly, by incremental degrees, and then all at once.
But, it can ALSO happen on a MASSIVE scale, when thousands or millions almost instantly, as a result of a triggering event, simultaneously reach this same, fundamental, survival oriented and motivated conclusion.
It has happened before, and I agree with Sundance, it is very close to happening again.
When it happens en mass, it carries with it a sense of UNITY, like the short lived sense of Unity experienced post 9/11.
That WAS different, a result of unity due to an atrack, its the FEELING that was similar, that I’m referencing.
And yes, Tyrannies fear such as mass “conversion”, and sew discord and division, in order to prevent it.
ANYTHING to cause division within the populace, and anything to sew confusion, and disillusion and despondency, or fearvof “other” is used to avoid a mass enlightenment.
And, the tyrannys greatest weopon IS the False Narrative, and we have been under constant bombardment, with false narrative layered on false narrative, all attempts to sew division, to confuse and confound, as they attempt to secure power.
We expend time, energy and effort dispelling ONE false narrative, while THEY are busy spinning up 6 more.
Look how many words have been expended on these forums, dispelling the GND myth, the Transgender myth, the Covid myth.
Its ALL Bullshit, as PDJT said if AOC. B.S with a definite PURPOSE, however. Sure, it decieves the 20% of the population of “useful idiots”, but it also buries us in b.s., argueing about whether we should continue to vote for our abusers or form a new party, should we wear masks, not wear masks, or rip the masks off anyone we see wearing one, etc.
Fortunately, with the paradigm shift to Patriot, and its emphasis and imperative of SURVIVAL, much of the B.S. will fall away.
“Either shoot, keep me supplied with ammo so I can shoot, or get the Hell out of my Foxhole!”
“I have neither the time, energy or inclination for long debates, as we have INCOMING!”
THIS is the natural, default position of the Patriot; remember ALL is lost, and so NOTHING to lose by fighting.
IMHO, IF McConnell fails to recognise and therefore avoid “overreach” on Jan 6th, his action of certifying Biden, will trigger such a mass event, and his political and quite possibly literal demise.
And once the toothpaste is out of the tube, there is no putting it back.
Hence, I believe the reason PDJT remains calm; he and WE WIN, either way.
And, whatever he does, McConnell loses either way.
I hope you are right, because a lot of Patriots are with you.
Your argument Dutchman is easily assuaged by realizing that there are likely 150 to 175 million people that were thrilled to see Biden win.
All of them are Americans too feeling as though their view of America’s future was restored… they could be your friend, your neighbor, your relative.
A moderate view of everything suggests that fighting is not the answer. The answer is looking for the next leader of the MAGA … the apprentice to the great PDJT.
150 to 175 million people thrilled with Biden but no more than 50 show us for a Biden rally.
No, I beg to differ. Look at Biden events no one showed up. If maybe and it is a big maybe 25% of the voters voted for Biden that would really be pushing it. Americans don’t want communist rule. And secondly anyone who did actually vote for Biden is not MY friend.
Basically, over half the country voted blue. Dutchman’s justification for believing “All is lost” is not a unanimous feeling throughout the country.
Especially when the MSM controls the narrative.
Tolerance, acceptance and a positive outlook about the MAGA principles for the future seems like a good plan.
No they didn’t. There was Democrat cheating in every single state.
You must have been a vote counter lol. 150 to 175 million votes for Biden! That’s funny.
I didn’t say votes… but the families of voters and non voters also comprise people who feel a certain way politically… wouldn’t you guess?
We don’t guess, we rely on the facts, and the facts indicate far different than what you insist.
You, however, are relying on the leftwing fantasy that there was little to no fraud in this election and that the vote totals currently credited to Biden by the media are accurate.
But Biden’s totals are neither statistically nor physically possible, as proven by the significant amount of evidence of fraudulent vote counting that has been gathered and submitted.
I believe their was voter fraud GB… but the political elites, the judiciary the MSM saw to it the Trump couldn’t win.
I accept that they cheated. I think we should all look for a new MAGA leader, that’s all.
So says you.
There is no reasoning with someone who voted for Biden. Also not sure where you got 150 to 175 million. At most Biden might have gotten 50 million. Even that I’m not sure bc they cheated on such a massive scale.
This is it. Otherwise kiss your remaining “freedom” goodbye.
Suggest you have cataract surgery immediately. You have no vision.
My vision is to look for a new leader for the MAGA principles. Maybe Trump can point the way… but the movement has to respond with new leadership.
Regardless of what happens, Trump will not be around forever… but hopefully the MAGA principles can.
How many years have we been crying out for change 30? 40? Makes no difference if you call it tea party or MAGA. Now is the time when we have someone in the office that cares…..I pray he uses every tool available ….He must accept you can’t bargain with the Devil and thats who he is trying to convince about the steal. Full force that his Office allows under the Constitution to deal with insurrection and sedition. Cause this is what we are facing.
To fight against tyranny is the only answer when it has become the law of the land.
Do you really believe that half of your fellow countryman are tyrannical?
The truth of what the next four years will look like will not be as bad as you fear.
You are moderate alright….a moderate nut….a nut who is naive as hell.
I get the naïve part a lot but oddly… my observations of how politics play out are keenly accurate.
I do
I live in Australia and I can see that a lot of America is subject to the tyrannical whims of your governors and politicians
The Global Reset will be such a happy utopia.
‘..there are likely 150 to 175 million people that were thrilled to see Biden win.”
where do you get your information from? change your source! that is pure BS! The number of comments agreeing with you should tell you something!
I am just suggesting about half of a population of 330 million have a different viewpoint than say Dutchman.. who is basically saying he is willing to go to war against his fellow countryman.
That is crazy.
Are you ready to defend the republic? Are you all hat and no horse?
We here are aware of the fake polls claiming 50% biden. We are aware of fraud.
I support the MAGA movement. I believe a new leader must emerge.
I would never advocate violence against another American because of their political belief.
Half the population of 330 million does not represent half of adult citizens who legally are registered to vote and don’t have dementia.
My vision is to look for a new leader for the MAGA principles. Maybe Trump can point the way… but the movement has to respond with new leadership.
Regardless of what happens, Trump will not be around forever… but hopefully the MAGA principles can.
After reading your other comments, I believe you are a TROLL hiding behind the generally accepted word “moderate” in your handle. ?
I’m not saying “A Moderate Man” is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal masquerading as a moderate. Maybe he is … maybe he isn’t. But it has been my experience that most liberals — and closet libs — choose monikers that are misleadingly self-referential. For example:
“Deep Thinker”
“Independent Mind”
“Wide Awake”
“Honest Abe”
Etc., etc. Anyone else agree?
My other moniker is Strangely Accurate!
I was going to guess your other moniker is “A Legend In His Own Mind”
I am not a troll. I just think that focusing on finding a new MAGA leader is a good idea.
I also would never knowingly charge a federal building or attack another American just because of their political belief.
How many of the 330 are not adult yet? How many of those are brain washed beyond help. They will sit back and let this country be destroyed. Basically a large % of the country doesn’t give a sh!t. Going to war against your countrymen….no it will be against maybe 10% and the elites. Thats who you go to fight against.
TPW, going against 10% of the elites in a violent way or advocating on behalf of MAGA and voting for those who believe in the movement?
There is a big difference.
Not asking, Not moderate! Get the hell out of my foxhole!
WHY SHOULD IT BE CRAZY WHEN PIGLOSI WANTS TO GIVE EVERY AMERICAN $600 FOr “COVID RELIEF”?
Its not enough to feed a family and pay the rent or for necessities, bearing in mind that many have lost their jobs and stand to be homeless
The leites in govt and west Coast and east coat HATE the middle class
They call them Deplorables and undesirables and acc to Mika Brzezkinski. we have to told “HOW TO THINK”
They demonise the average person in America all the time.
I can see that from Australia
THEY HATE YOU
No one really knows what Trump will say on the 6th or what his surrogates might do.
For all we know, he concedes in his own style, announces a new party and says his farewell and advises his admin to transition to Sleepy Joe.
NOPE
Trump is up against the wall. the liberals have their guns out. Maybe a martyr for the movement is a good thing.
Dutchman, That was perfectly stated. After I tuck in the kiddos tonight, I’m pouring myself an adult beverage and reading this again. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to this conversation. I enjoy every moment of peace that I can, knowing it most likely will not be so very soon.
Better be now than later ….once we are like China…..the huge protest of the good people of Hong Kong mean nothing. Biden and company will start confiscating guns.
Well said. I told my wife the other day during our Christmas Eve happy hour (tradition for us- two drinks and an appt):
Wife, I took an oath when I was 18. I’m 42 now. I’ve been a vet for as long as I was active duty now. But, wife, when the time comes to March to serve my oath- I’ll be marching. Idk when. Or where. I’ll just know it’s time. And I’ll be going. I thought I’d be dead before it was needed. But wife, I can’t let the country die on my watch. I can’t fail my oath.
She just took my hand and said I know. She then said- just convince our sons to say home- at least until you are not here to keep them home.
She had watery eyes. Said that’s why she loves me…we did a toast and reminisced about the crazy year.
Thanks for the clarity Sundance!
Barry and the Crats didn’t build that
“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.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago
Profound. So sad that relatively few of our 300+ million citizens have any idea how close we are to this reality.
Lulu,
Thank you for posting this.
I would just add, in the years after WW2, people marveled that Hitlers top henchmen, Goring, Himmler etc. traveled around not only Berlin, but occupied Paris in “Open” vehicles, convertibles with the top down.
It would have been so easy to pull up along side and shoot them,….
But nobody did.
Our enemies are human, despite their inhumanity.
“They put their pants on one leg at a time, just
like everyone else!”
Not time to lay in ambush, for the compliance officers to come, nor time to target corrupt politicians,….but when enough realise they have nothing to lose by acting,….?
Great point Dutchman, However, on the twenty-ninth of May, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia tried that once too often and two Polish resistance fighters machine gunned him.
It took a lot of planning and the retribution was dire. It also virtually ended that form of transport for the leaders of the Reich other than in Germany, apart from protected ceremonial occasions. The ‘good times’ of the first years of the war were gone.
Meanwhile in the US, whatever happens on the 6th one side is going to be very disappointed and it must be likely that they will not accept the result on a quite different level to 2016. That is how divisive US politics has become over the past four years. The demands for security protection are about to go through the roof and the http://www.bulletproof cars4U.com is about to have a meltdown.
Don’t be fooled as to how many the media says will be upset …that is on the other side. Part of their strategy is making us think their numbers are big.
I really wonder if there were a few prime subjects who paid the price ….would a citizen fight be necessary. So many of our young men and women have paid the price overseas for what and for whom?
Dutch,
Great points again. I get that all the time when I express my sentiments (which align 100% with your expressed thoughts): oh, your a big bad macho guy? Going to charge government buildings? Grab your gun and shoot people?
Honestly I just want to double pimp slap those people (you know one on the way up, 2nd on way down). Such a stupid comment (what ever variation of that response they give).
No, we’re not storming buildings. We’re not just grabbing our guns and shooting. That’s stupid and suicide.
Idk what it looks like but I’ll know when to march.
Great comment again.
And so will we deserve what happens to us if we refuse to fight for our God given rights.
A national list of civil rights offenders who are still getting paychecks must circulate among all patriots. Names, addresses, mugshots of officials. It’s time.
No Gov employee lost any money over this Chinese Flu, they don’t give a rats ass about you. The Cops in California are pieces of shit in my book. We are not far away from when a guy like this starts shooting these Gov employees. Then all hell will break lose. It only takes one.
why shot the peons?
No one has “standing.”
Very true canary row.
We have tried the courts, the state legislatures, Congress and voting.
All we have left is ourselves.
Exactly what the elites told us via the courts:
You have no standing. Now stfu and go away. Please beg for your handouts…so we can give you crumbs while we eat gourmet ice cream. And give millions to other countries.
I heard her say that also olddog.
And I would have asked her exactly what you say ” So officer how do you propose we settle this?”
How was the bar owner really going to get any kind of real help.
Doing what all of the government officials, the police and the health officer, wanted was not help to him or any other average citizen. Not any more, not now days.
And this point of view by the citizen who paid taxes, and the police officers salary, while the bar owner was living on hand outs is the big big problem right now.
They have become our Overlords.
Small business owners need to start suing these tyrants for Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law. From Justice.gov:
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.
I can hear my dad, ‘I would rather be dead than afraid’. (He earned 3 Bronze Stars in the Korean War.)
Good quote from your Dad. He clearly lived by it to earn three Bronze Stars.
Salute.
This is just the begining. Would be easier if people would hear listen and understand the lessons men like me that have fought hard for this country have to teach. Yet here we are and 10 years of me tryin to teach my fellow countrymen has done nothing to prevent what is coming.
And called names for trying.
Takes guts to stand up to the Gestapo 2.0
I went to a very popular restaurant here in NY, there have always been long lines to get in. My husband asked the owner how business has been and she said okay for now but she is really worried about the slower months ahead. I said that the Governor needs to be defied and there needs to be massive civil disobedience to end all of this. Unfortunately she looked at me as if what I said was crazy talk. She has totally bought into Covid1984. I told my husband her business is done….all by her voluntary participation.
We try to frequent local small businesses since the shamdemic. Went to a local jewelry store sans mask. Man behind counter quickly puts his on and says we have to wear one. Husband challenges him and says “who told you we have to wear masks, the owner?” Man behind counter says “I’m the owner.” Husband asks again “who told you that you have to wear a mask?” Man behind counter says “Walmart and Safeway require masks.” Husband says “So Walmart and Safeway told you that you have to wear a mask?” The man behind the counter became extremely defensive and angry and there was no reasoning with him after that.
I just won’t shop in big box stores anymore. Last spring I began frequenting only locally owned businesses. When they would tell me I had to wear a mask I would ask them one question – would you prefer I take my business elsewhere? Not one said yes. Have not worn masks since.
I rarely wear a mask. I wear one when I have to like to fly to DC.
I am in Georgia and three weeks ago I saw a sign at the entrance to a store that said masks must be worn on your face to enter. Since then I have been in 5 stores with a mask on my chin and have not been questioned yet.
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A LONE RANGER MASK TO WEAR ON MY FACE!
In Nevada, small businesses are targets of the State’s OSHA inspectors and they are fining small businesses $1,000 a day for violating the Governor’s mask edicts; some news articles for other State’s have related stories of undercover inspectors not wearing masks and when the business owner’s do not make the customer mask up, the undercover inspectors then fine the small business.
It is communism exploitation on steroids, forcing people to comply by being hit in the non-obedient’s financial pockets.
Might be why the distancing edicts are needed, keep small business owners from comparing notes and coming up with ideas to join together and mass mutiny.
Should have asked her why it is ok for Big Box stores to be open.
It seems you were this close to helping the restaurant owner awaken to reality. Is there a reason why you said what you said only to your husband but not the owner?
My point is we need to be more vocal and actionable. As long as we remain in the quiet rectitude of our minds, our words, thoughts, & deeds, though they be extremely important, will have achieved nothing towards the common good of the People.
I mentioned the Great Reset, she wasn’t interested. I do try to reach everyone. I did red pill a liberal or two.
This is one way people may react to living in a banana republic,
I have worked with people from India, Seychelles Islands, Columbia, Japan, Korea, China, Ecuador, among other nations. In every case, the people from those countries were first alarmed, then surprised that I did not first seek permission for much of what I did. The very thought was completely foreign to me, an American, even though each of them considered the inquiry as necessary and of prime importance. Further, that very thought is repugnant.
Though many speak of America becoming a banana republic, as long as Americans rightfully take their stand as Americans, that deplorable state shall not come to pass even though those in government seek to harden their oppression of the People
Unfortunately it ends when the dollar is virtually worthless and thus both law enforcement’s paychecks and pensions are worthless as well. That is unless law enforcement just looks the other way when they are ordered to violate their oaths to the Constitution by an illegitimate government that has violated theirs by stealing the election via a fraudulent voting system? Time will tell which path the rank and file of the police and military decide to take.
We have already seen what side they will take. Therefore I am hesitant to back the blue.
You are under no obligation to follow the laws of an illegitimate government or those that enforce it. At the same time if you find yourself in a fair fight your strategy sucks.
And what is my strategy?
I have no idea and different situations call for different tactics, but the Strategy should always give you and your fellow Patriots a significant advantage over those who would violate your natural rights to Life, Liberty and Property.
For example the battle of Concord bridge comes to mind. Or the peaceful march of MLK to DC.
Standing alone unarmed out in the open against armed jackboot traitors, not a good strategy.
Okay, I don’t understand your responses to me. Did I say I would stand alone unarmed????
Look if cops can ignore Antifa and BLM riots and they geta slap on the wrist why shouldnt we protest?
It can be peaceful at first, but if they won’t listen it can escalate
Always hold up the example of how the DOJ and cops and FBI treat Antifa and BLM
And point out that this is inequality
You’re right. The cops are the last ones to lose a paycheck.
I agree that if the majority refuses to obey then government is forced to respond. However, the majority DOES obey. They ARE obeying. They refuse to listen to anything that disputes their brainwashed position. They are driven by fear….and fear alone. They don’t understand their own power. If you speak facts to these people they will not listen…..the constant drone of MSM has convinced them that doom is imminent if they do not obey.
I have tried since the beginning of this fiasco to present facts to friends. I have convinced none of them. I have been asked not to send this information to some because it ‘does their head in’. But apparently the braying of the media is okay. Let’s be brutally honest here….critical thinking is hard. Most people simply don’t want to work that hard. They don’t want to question their assumptions. They are driven by emotion (fear), not logic. And if it doesn’t impact them personally they just don’t care.
I hope that there are more people out there who will disobey. But history has shown us repeatedly that the majority will do nothing. I used to wonder how a Hitler could rise….but living through covid has shown me how. I hope more than anything that I am proven wrong and that people will fight back. I will continue my personal campaign with friends.
Good luck. I am quite discouraged right now.
Dont be….you must always have faith even when it seems hopeless….keep pushing forward fearlessly for what you know is right and true no matter what…..shoulders squared
Mark Twain said- it’s hard to win an argument with a smart person. It’s impossible to win one with a stupid person.
Hi left coast, i have had the same result as you – it’s basically impossible to convince people to believe thier reality when MSM keeps telling them that they will instantly die if they don’t obey every rule and science.
I can’t believe the stupidity of the average person & now the above average people who have obeyed this bs for almost a year!
If anyone questions why President Trump keeps the Covid task force around, this is the reason. The fear mongers ran a great campaign this past year.
“I will continue my personal campaign with friends.”
I am done with friends and relatives, too. If they haven’t gotten the message by now, they aren’t going to.
I had difficulty picking a part of your message to quote. If I was to compose something, you already have 90% of it covered.
Thanks for sharing….
You mustn’t give up on family and friends….remember our Revolution….not everyone fought and I am sure there were those who were afraid to go against the King…we must pull them with us…or at least keep trying whether actively or passively…
Agreed, ROTLC.
We too are on the “left coast” of Canada here in B.C.
Fear dominates the any discussion.
The false narrative has been masterfully played by all these involved.
Particularly in the over 65 age group.
They are addicted to “ news “ and most are house bound.
The utter lies perpetrated by the media is truly criminal.
Masks are mandated in all indoor facilities.
However homeless folks can frequent malls etc, and camp out for hours, often bringing disgusting and filthy items with them, then proceeding to dispose of personal hygiene products on tables and chairs.
Utter filth..yet nothing is said. Heaven forbid one forgot their mask though.
I’m in BC too (on the Island). It’s hard not to feel despair sometimes because it feels like nobody around you shares your position. I know there must be sane people here…..but how to find them!!! :/
I understand your experience. I have wondered how to break through to others. If you attack someone’s position, they take a defensive stance, dig in, and find any justification to maintain their position. They walk away from the encounter feeling confirmed in their “righteous” stance.
But two things came to my mind: Dale Carnegie advocates: “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” His example of employing this tactic is through a series of questions that brings the “adversary” to understand where the common ground exists. He proceeds from that place to make his own points. But to do it, he breaks the defensive barrier and creates a positive position. Jesus also used the questions method.
The thing about using questions is that one cannot preach at the other. It breaks the dullness and causes the opponent’s mind to work. This is the only method I understand that will make any progress with the “sleep walkers.”
I spend time considering the questions I might ask others if the opportunity arises. For example, if I hear someone say that Trump is a racist, I would ask,” Do you believe that a Caucasian who donates money to the NAACP is a racist?” When the answer is no, the next question is why do they believe Trump, who has a history of such donations, is a racist?
It has worked with my family member. Maybe you might find some luck with it as well.
Thanks for this Hadaqar. I must go and do some reading of Dale Carnegie!
Well the President just signed the COVID bill?????I guess he could not make more enemies when the vote on the 6th was at stake unfortunately he will win no friends….if we get the $2000 will just go to pay part of 2020 taxes. Guess you can call it a tax break.
Keep trying. Never give up. Today I saw a women in the grocery store without a mask. I told her hello and that it was nice to see a non masker.
It is not the “government” that shut down business. It is the choice of specific politicians. They are and should be held responsible.
Making a list, always adding more names.
The damn is breaking. God bless

I guess we just always thought we were free in America. It is slowly dawning on us that we are not. This is an interesting challenge for each of us. We have seldom been tested really.
I saw that we were losing our freedoms after 9/11. I worked in the aviation field and saw first hand the abuse of powers and the demand for government to keep the individual safe at all cost – even to the absurdity of shoe removal because of one fool.
We The People gave them power because of fear of death on an airplane. But, now worries about driving a car – an activity exponentially more dangerous than airtravel.
Good for him. And you’re right SD, it’s going to take every single bar and restaurant opening up in every single CA location to end this lockdown bullshit. This hasn’t happened yet in my small CA town but I am hearing about more restaurants the next town over (a much larger city over 100k population) opening back up and serving indoors again.
As in things there is strength in numbers. When combined with Law enforcement that looks the other way, this will work. If not, it comes down to which side is the best organized and willing to lose it all for their goals. Police officers paid in worthless currency against a vast majority with nothing to lose are never the winners.
There is much more pushback going on out here than any of the press or twitter or facebook or the others will allow to get out.
Like Sundance I believe we are on the edge of people being fed up big time.
Here in Colorado and in our neighboring state of New Mexico we have several counties whose elected officials have told the governors NO to the latest lockdown edicts and want to roll back the previous ones.
None of this is being reported in the press.
All we hear is the msm breathlessly describing the latest draconian lockdown “laws” and reporting them as if all of the downtrodden populace is hunkering frightened in their dark cold homes.
We are not, but they do not want the world to know this.
We are very angry and just waiting.
Timing is everything.
And when a city inspector shows up at the door, tar and feather them.
My approach would be to haul them in, hold them down and strip them, then put them out on the street. Deliver their belongings to their place of work, so no theft charges. The PTB will try for ‘interfering with their lawful duties’, ask “What law? That was an unlawful edict!”
Keep us all focused Sundance. We must remember the consent of the governed. This is all wrong! People must be able to make a living. There is no harm in going out to eat. My husband and I do it several times a week. And we are not going to stop. Good for us and great for the people trying to make a living.
So true Beatrix.
The press want to make is seem as if the poor citizens scuttle out to shop for necessities and them hurry back to the safety of their cold dark houses.
Well we do not do that.
As you say we are not going to stop trying to MAGA in every way possible.
Only the end to the welfare can end a welfare state. Venezuelans are still waiting for the free stuff to resume.
Something for nothing is magical. Government becomes god. The superstition can only be ended by collapse and bankruptcy. And it’s coming.
I really wish we had a better idea of what was really going on in Venezuela.
My son’s neighbor has a brother in Venezuela who’s brother still lives there.
My son’s neighbor emigrated to the US several years ago but keeps in touch with his family down there.
The neighbor was talking about how his brother is having a hard time finding diesel to keep his fleet of delivery trucks up and running.
WHAT?
His “fleet of delivery trucks”, what in the world would some one in Venezuela have need of a FLEET of delivery trucks for.
I thought they were all starving and dying and had no money to buy anything for.
He looked at me like I was an idiot and said that his brothers trucks delivered many things and that there were still many things to buy and sell in that country.
We here in America are not getting the truth or the whole story as to what is going on in Venezuela, as usual.
Venezuela is a country in deep deep trouble but exactly what that trouble is can be much more complex than our dumb ass msm wants us to believe or has the ability to tell us about.
The go to excuse for nearly every tyrant through the centuries has been some variation of,
“Its for the public good.”
It’s sad that civilizations continue to fall for it. But they do.
This scene is a lie.
These uniforms appear to be American law enforcement but are in reality the U.S. frontline enforcers for the Chinese Communist-Globalist-Marxist Axis alliance.
Who sees it?
I have said what I believe and even my family thinks I am ‘selfish’ because I don’t believe the government and voted for President Trump twice and know there was massive voter fraud.
One neighbor “knows many people who are sick with Covid and many who have died”.
She is lying. She will not admit she is wrong, no one will. Educated people are the worst for believing everything they are told by every single news reader on the Boob Tube. From how President Trump plays golf everyday all day long, to the Covid can be spread by people who have zero symptoms.
“ Educated people are the worst for believing everything they are told by every single news reader on the Boob Tube.”
“ She will not admit she is wrong…”. Educated people are the worst at that too.
Exactly right Annie.
Plus anyone who comes down with virus was not wearing mask. No chance it was picked up any other way. Madding …
Is it not true the virus can enter through the opening of one’s eyes? Shouldn’t these mask people be wearing double eye patches? They’re already blind so why not?
I have to laugh because that’s exactly what I have been asking people.
Frustrating. Many of us would stand in the street with this guy but the reality is that, in these situations, the good guy is isolated and out numbered.
Yeah, send billions to foreign entities and other waste and fraud instead of helping needy, deserving citizens. Also you can’t find a cop around when Trump supporters are being beat by Antifa or anarchists are burning down buildings but try to earn a living to survive.
“The situation within the video speaks for itself. People are getting desperate… Acts of resistance are spreading. American workers and Main Street are being destroyed… Meanwhile congress wants to send hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds to foreign shores. Think about it.”
Some people in WNY are at that point as well.
Thanks! Wonderful videos and info that you attached.
Ww must all put ourselves for a moment in this man’s shoes. You can bet he was fearful, but his justifiable anger won the day. A Patriot Profile in Courage. He is in each of us.
In 1866, there were NOT “50 independent, sovereign, continental United States of America”. There were 36 States, Nevada being the 36th. Nebraska entered the Union on 1 Mar 1867 as 37th State.
There is no 71 USC 2 sec 98. Doesn’t exist.
those cops and that health dept worker know darn well they are on thin ice.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
#DumpTheMasks
#OpenTheEconomy
And wear your MAGA hats!
Rather than foreboding I’d call it hopeful!
Happening around the globe, lovers of freedom are standing strong and defiant of tyranny.
Think about the Solzhenitsyn quote. And then think about this.
A third of a percent of inhabitants in the US is roughly 10 million (with a major helping of those 400 million personally owned firearms). 10 million is a might more than all the police, federal law enforcement and military combined. If just a third of a percent of Americans decide this ends by any means necessary, it ends. No gulag future for our children and grandchildren.
If our brothers and sisters across the pond got the notion, Klaus Schwab would be completely neutralized and perhaps eating through a straw the rest of his life.
3%, not 1/3%…
We are as much as 100 million, or 30%…or 70% of the voting population
When will this government-induced mass psychosis end?
When “enough” peoples’ thinking suddenly changes, from fear to healthy common sense. When they realize they have been bombarded daily, for the last 12 years, with nothing but hysterical claims of imminent catastrophe. The Eloi have to become willing to stand up to the Morlocks — to be responsible for their own health and comforts, not be dependent upon the government.
When the People arise to say, No more!
Honestly, it is that easy.
Each time I see one of these videos, I play the scenario in my head that I should practice the four words of what the New Hampshire license plate on my car says. Would I be willing to have my brains in the same physical condition as those of President Kennedy on that fateful day for simply refusing to wear a mask by challenging a police officer to aim a projectile between my eyes because that is the only way to settle this? Since my first posting on this site Memorial Day weekend it is increasingly clear that is going to take something of that nature to wake up enough people to see what is happening. Don’t look for any solace from the First Estate either. My family is a lost cause, but one of my long time friends finally sees the truth. The Wuflu is the gun and the edicts are the bullets.
this is terrifying.
everyone in the video knows they are being filmed.
but the officers and cowering health dept. ‘official’ seem totally unconcerned about even the optics of oppression (yes, the officers are very patient – it is the tyranny they are serving that is hideous.)
the court of public opinion seems to hold no sway over any of them.
is it because they know few people will read past tomorrow’s headline: “crazed restaurant owner in stand-off with police”?
where does the owner go for redress?
where can any of us go now?
may God bless and watch over all of you headed to dc in january.
And many people will sit at home and say Oh My! as we have a call to be in Washington DC on Jan 6th to face off against the Power Brokers. This sitting is acquiescence. Financially able bodied people need to make every effort possible to Stand Up in DC. Hotel rooms are still available. Buses and Carpools need to be formed.
Agreed! If someone absolutely, positively can’t go, then sponsor someone in your stead. If it’s lack of funds, then get visible on a busy street corner with like minded neighbors. Wave flags, visit your city hall, stand in front of police departments, churches.
DON”T WATCH THIS UNFOLD ON TELEVISION!!!
And if there is no hotel room available, pack camping gear and warm blankets and prepare to sleep in your vehicles. Uncomfortable yes, but think of Washington’s soldiers, some without shoes.
God bless Shelley Luther for putting Greg Abbott in a corner when he was willing to go along with similar foolishness here in Texas. He gave her opponent hundreds of thousands of dollars for the purpose of defeating her state senate bid. She did not get the state senate seat, but she still won and we won too. Nowadays, Greg Abbott is very quick to say that Texas will not have a statewide shutdown.
Thank you, Shelley Luther.
If BLM was burning his business down they would not sat a word. This has got to change.
If you mean the Police, they would have taken a knee in support …
As the seven-year old boy who saved his sister from a fire last week said, “It’s okay to be scared. But you’re brave on the inside and you can do it if you want to.”
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The Democrat Party learned 20 years ago to use FEAR as marketing tool. John Kerry said back then that the biggest crisis facing the world was climate change. That was the opening salvo of fear. According to the Democrat Party marketing strategy unless you vote for them you will certainly die from:
1. Climate change.
2. Russia, Russia, Russia.
3. White Supremacists.
4. Coronavirus.
5. Climate change and more viruses.
The Democrat Party off nothing else except vote for us or you will die!
Even if you vote D, the totalitarian Democommunists will get bored and will do a purge for kicks, so you die anyway.
As a military retiree, I don’t want to wear the mask. BUT, the Dept of Defense has mandated that access to military services (commissary, exchange, military hospitals, etc.) is conditional on wearing a mask — no mask no service. My wife and I need access to Madigan Army Medical Center, so we are bound to wear a useless mask (if there was science supporting mask wearing, CDC would be quoting it chapter and verse!). President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, could end the Federal mask nonsense with one phone call. Why hasn’t he?
Not enough military retirees rattling cages? And I’m not saying that to be flippant, but even way back in the country’s founding people weren’t just waiting on Washington to win the day and deliver the benefits.
There is no federal mask mandate to end.
Get a cell phone and take a video of these people refusing you service since you feel that the mask medically effects you with shortness of breath. Spell out their names and ask them the names of their ranking officers. Post your info online. Send a copy to the White House and VA. President Trump has a lot of other things on his plate right now and you as a military man should first try to solve your own situation.
My guess would be he has bigger fish to deal with right now, DoggyDaddy.
I’m sorry you have to wear masks, but maybe you can write something on them that speaks of your displeasure in the fact you’re forced to wear a mask.
Write “Forced to wear the MA*K if the beast” or “Forced to be a member of the Branch Covidians” on your masks and see how it freaks people out. Might be a great way to get other people to agree with your sentiments!
In a few weeks, when all President Trump has to work on is getting the U.S. economy rolling again, completing the wall on our southern border, strengthening our military, and spanking the uniparty. . . I believe he will then remove all the Branch Covidian stupidity put in place by globalists.
“Branch Covidian”…BRILLIANT! I do wear masks about useless Governor and No Freedom of Choice, etc. Thanks, Raven.
So why do you not talk to your Gov there in Wa,state.It is not a federal mandate.
“President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, could end the Federal mask nonsense with one phone call. Why hasn’t he?”
The DoD is federal. JBLM General takes his orders from and answers to the suits at DoD not WA governor.
Wow! Another American saying Ph_uck-off!
More to come.
This is necessary if we are throw these Marxist weasels off.
I’ll share a small story that happened before #covid. I was visiting my grandchildren in California almost 2 years ago. I was giving my daughter a break as she had just brought home a new baby. The kids and I jumped in the car and went to the local fruit stand. I told them they could pick out their favorite fruits and vegetables. As I handed them each a plastic bag to put their “picks” in, a large woman approached me. She had a woven basket on her arm with produce in it, and stated loudly, and forcefully, “everything is the same price per pound, you DON’T need so many plastic bags!!” I wanted to retort something equally unkind about how she possibly got so large eating fruit and vegetables, but I bit my tongue and made some lame excuse for my shameless use of plastic bags when the earth was dying from plastic bags.
As I returned my attention to my little grandchildren who were eagerly picking their produce, I was a bit shaken. How dare this woman approach me and tell me how many plastic bags I could use!!!! What a belligerent idiot!!! Now, as I look back, I see that she is the type of woman who indeed would go out of her way to rat on someone for noncompliance in all her self-righteous glory. She is the kind of person who would have turned in Jews to the Nazis. What was so stunning to me was that ANYONE could be so deluded into thinking they had a right to stick their nose into someone else’s business like that. She was emboldened. She felt righteous. She was a rude YouKnowWhat! There are many like her and I don’t allow people like that anywhere near me or my family. I think if that ever happens to me again, I will meet force with force rather than “politely” move away, as is my custom.
Where I live, people mind their own taters for the most part. I do hope most Californians will pop the bubble surrounding them and live their own lives regardless of the tyrannical government. I hope they throw off that government with a force and reclaim what is theirs.
breaks my heart. this Patriot just wants to provide livelihood and services for his community.
WTF has this world come to???
This guy is spot on…I would only add to those Police Officers: When you were growing up, saying the Pledge of Allegiance, did you ever think you’d become part of the Marxist Gestapo one day? Why are you enforcing an immoral and illegal order? Oh, you want me to move along peacefully? Make your job easier? F U, I hope the citizens make your job as difficult as possible.. I hope you dread coming to work now! I hope you cry in front of the mirror when you get home as you realize you’ve cast your lot with Anti-American evil! I hope you cant sleep a wink a night, and that you are tortured by your choice to silently protect your own bottom line while you screw over your fellow citizens! I hope it eats you from the inside! (nothing personal, mind you)
I have been counseling mass civil disobedience since early in Obama’s first term. I have written many comments on it, all brief of course, for example:
——————————-
It seems obvious to me that it requires a harmony of effort–even Socrates’s “instamatic” method, of eliciting the knowledge quickly, out of the student’s own mind, through guiding questions, requires the closest harmony between teacher and student. And the quickest, most effective way to impart knowledge is to instill in the student the fundamental desire to read, widely and deeply — to eagerly and perennially sample the accumulated wealth of knowledge from the entire past of mankind. Personally, I saw the way things were going 30 years ago, partly from seeing computer users being ineluctably drawn into using proprietary (and limited, and limiting) software — Bill Gates’s vast fortune is founded upon the enslavement of millions to Windows. The near future must bring either mass civil disobedience, on the part of true lifelong scholars like myself, or World War III.

just tragic. my heart goes out to him. he deserves a medal of honor
i have some friends who own restaurants and they are lost and confused . they are afraid if they stand up there will be worse finances damages but what gives
First of all, decrees by a totalitarian official, unless enacted by the legislature and signed into law by the governor, are not laws. Arbitrary rules that force small business to close while allowing large corporate entities, such as the box stores, to thrive are not equal application of the rules, much less laws. By now we all know that this has been one heck of a fraud perpetuated on the American people, with the objective of bringing down the U.S. economy and to help defeat President Trump. If you want proof just read COVID OPERATION by Dr. Pamela Popper. In addition CDC has now revealed that of the 330,000 deaths of people WITH COVID — only only 6% (19,800) actually died FROM COVID!!! We also now know that Vitamin D3 taken with Vitamin C, Zinc and Quercetin (similar to hydroxychloroquine, but OTC) help to prevent the viral attack. In addition, transmittal of the virus by asymptomatic people is virtually nil.
So, knowing all that I am in complete support of the proposed resistance by all against the totalitarian rule. We should all now commit to ditching the masks (they don’t work anyway), opening up all our business and giving the big finger to all the control freaks that come our way. Choose to live as a free people and clearly remind those control freaks that their authority comes from THE PEOPLE and we now rescind their authority! !! WE STAND UNITED AND WE ARE TAKING OUR POWER AND FREEDOMS BACK!!!
Wonder who are going to be working diligently enough on the legislative side to prevent such laws from being passed.
I wonder if the explosion in Nashville was simply the act of one angry man who decided we cannot win a gunfight with the army, so we must destroy the infastructure . . ?
“Breaking points” elsewhere too…

(Let’s hope the idiocracy of the rest has finally peaked.)
After they take all your stuff, yes.
This woman in the video is exactly right. NO HEALTHY PERSON should be wearing a face diaper. And that woman in the mask and face shield? Made me laugh out loud.
Smart Woman, telling it like it is. More Power to Her!!
Mr. Roman makes excellent points. He pays his rent and all his city / state permit fees, yet arbitrary government rules bar him from making a living and paying his employees, while the city health inspector and the police continue to get paid. If you add in the fact that none of these public health measures do much, if anything, to prevent illness, it’s enough to push anyone to the breaking point.
When the cops and the government they serve harass the law-abiding, good people that are just trying to make a living, but allowing rampant looting and support all manner of left-wing violence, it is time for a divorce.
This video pulls at my heartstrings. Seeing the police help enforce this stuff is concerning as well. Sad all around.
