The legislature of Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis waste no time in confronting the fast pace of leftist ideology with legislative and executive order moves to protect citizens within the Sunshine state.  The speed of their united effort is actually quite remarkable.  Today Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 7072, a Florida law permitting citizens to sue Big Tech for deplatforming, targeting or censorship.

Under SB 7072:

• All Floridians treated unfairly by Big Tech platforms will have the right to sue companies that violate this law — and win monetary damages. This reform safeguards the rights of every Floridian by requiring social media companies to be transparent about their content moderation practices and give users proper notice of changes to those policies, which prevents Big Tech bureaucrats from “moving the goalposts” to silence viewpoints they don’t like.
• The Attorney General of Florida can bring action against technology companies that violate this law, under Florida’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If social media platforms are found to have violated antitrust law, they will be restricted from contracting with any public entity. That “antitrust violator” blacklist imposes real consequences for Big Tech oligopolies’ bottom line.
• Big Tech is prohibited from de-platforming Floridian political candidates. The Florida Election Commission will impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that de-platforms any candidate for statewide office, and $25,000 per day for de-platforming candidates for non-statewide offices. Any Floridian can block any candidate they don’t want to hear from, and that is a right that belongs to each citizen — it’s not for Big Tech companies to decide.  (read full text here)

“This session, we took action to ensure that ‘We the People’ — real Floridians across the Sunshine State — are guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley elites,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Many in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.” (LINK)

Everything about the COVID mitigation narrative is based on control and manipulation.  The COVID “narrative” is a fraud, a systemic and purposeful fraud, perpetrated by a group of manipulative political interest groups who needed a vector to exploit the American social fabric…. to trigger specific “fundamental change” that could benefit their longer term political interests.

MICHIGAN – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer apologized Sunday after apparently violating state-mandated social distancing guidelines at an East Lansing bar and grill.

It was the latest pandemic-related misstep for the Democratic governor, who waited weeks to disclose partial details of a private jet trip she took to visit her father in Florida after two of her top aides headed south as coronavirus cases surged in Michigan and residents were cautioned against traveling south for spring break.

[Whitmer responded] “Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn´t stop to think about it. In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize.” (read more)

Because the COVID narrative is built upon a foundation of fraud, those who have pushed the usefulness of it are often caught in hypocritical behaviors. Some have said “they don’t believe their own message”; however, that is only partially true.  It’s not that they don’t believe the control message, it’s more along the lines of knowing the message is a lie; as a result they do not follow the rules they demand of others.

Rarely does such and excellent opportunity arise to identify the DeceptiCon members in the House.  That opportunity exists right now.

♦STEP ONE – Force the full House to vote on their support of the politically motivated “January 6th Commission.”

♦STEP TWO – Identify the Republicans who go along with the leftist intent.

♦STEP THREE – Primary every single one of those Republican House members in 2022.

WASHINGTON DC – A substantial bloc of House Republicans is expected to vote with Democrats on Wednesday to authorize a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol despite GOP leaders’ opposition – a development that could force Senate Republicans to give the proposal more serious consideration.

The bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus, which consists of 29 Republicans and 29 Democrats, announced Tuesday that over 75% of its members have endorsed the bill, meaning at least 15 Republican Caucus members support it.

Caucus member Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) supports the bill, according to his spokesperson, as do non-members Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), all critics of former President Donald Trump who voted for his impeachment in January. (read more)

Cousin Joe Dan Gorman has produced another video message to the Rebel Alliance. “Freedom -vs- Liberty!”

‘We The People’ are all dissidents right now…. and smiling.

Visit and Support Your Cousin Here

A solid reminder from Joe Dan…. Keep up the boycotts, do not relent.

We assemble upon a great digital battlefield in the fight for our republic. It is critical to reflect upon the values that form the foundation of our national assembly…. Remember, “isolation starts with a rebellion against God“, we must be conscious about the need to stay connected; first to God, then to eachother.

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos attended a freedom rally in Orange County, California, organized against the concept of COVID passports.  The rally included about 800 concerned patriots who see the effort of vaccination passports as an intrusion of privacy as well as a slippery slope of government demanding to see papers in order to engage in constitutional freedom.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Google banned the video within hours of upload from its YouTube platform {Story Here}.  It is quite alarming that a video documenting the rally itself would be deemed against the interests of the government and Big Tech.  However, John uploaded the video series to Rumble so that people could see the rally and support the effort.

Considering: gas lines, massive increases in gas prices, rapidly rising U.S inflation, rising unemployment and generally worsening economic conditions (ie. “Malaise”); in combination with a new Israeli war in the middle-east; many people are now comparing Joe Biden to the failed administration of Jimmy Carter.

From the desk of President Donald J Trump:

“I see that everybody is comparing Joe Biden to Jimmy Carter. It would seem to me that is very unfair to Jimmy Carter. Jimmy mishandled crisis after crisis, but Biden has CREATED crisis after crisis. First there was the Biden Border Crisis (that he refuses to call a Crisis), then the Biden Economic Crisis, then the Biden Israel Crisis, and now the Biden Gas Crisis. Joe Biden has had the worst start of any president in United States history, and someday, they will compare future disasters to the Biden Administration—but no, Jimmy was better!”
