What If They Are Lying To Us?

A somewhat personal situation is prompting me to share this Blog Post today. I say "somewhat personal" because why it doesn't involve me or my wife, it does involve another family member. I do believe that the seriousness of the spread of the virus as it affects how easy it is for the person getting it, how many are getting it, and how much it affects them, are blown way out of portion. Then I found out about this...

Another member of our family living in another state was told by his employer in March that he and 12 others had to self quarantine because they were in contact with a co-worker that had COVID-19. So he and they did just that. He didn't have any symptoms and went back to work without being tested.

Last week the state's department of heath and human services contacted him and requested he get an anti-body test. Nothing was said to him on whether it had anything to do with what happened a month earlier. Two days ago he called us and said the state's department of health called him and told him that the test revealed that he had COVID-19 at sometime since last November. They have four children ages 5, 3, 2 and 4 months. They and his wife have been and are fine. Other family members including my wife and I, and friends, have been in contact with them, some of them elderly. My wife and I are considered essential workers and of course have been in contact with most of our co-workers. We've had no symptoms and my employer has been doing temperature checks for 2 weeks. 

I'm not saying the virus doesn't exist at all, and that we shouldn't take precautions. But I do believe that the Deep State/Bilderbergers/CFR/or what ever you want to call them (not just the Democrats though) are trying to take advantage of what ever level of seriousness this virus is and do what they have been wanting to do- bring down the U.S. economy to put us on a level playing field with the rest of the world, damage the effectiveness of the constitution even more, and gain more control. And right now it looks like they are succeeding. 

Those of us that are Christians know the end of the story. But does that mean we are supposed to lay down and let it all happen? We need to get out heads out of our butts and the sand and do something before it's too late, if it isn't already.

Take it or leave it, for what it's worth.

Thanks for reading. Please share if you agree.

"They Are Only Guidelines Anyway"

The quote in the title of this post, or something close to it, comes from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean." 

The Pirates had a code, but to justify not following it at times, they would say they were only guidelines anyway.

Is that what the federal and state constitutions are, just guidelines? Are they "evolving" documents? No, they are the law of the land, and any other laws, orders, and mandates that violate them are not valid laws. But I digress :-)...

The Federal Government issued guidelines in March 2020 to deal with the spread of COVID-19. They were rightly called guidelines so as arguably not to violate the U.S. Constitution. But whether or not it was the intent, such guidelines did lead to unconstitutional actions by the most of the States. Guidelines may be wise and good, but they do not have to be followed- especially if it violates the constitution and/or could do even more harm to citizens because of an already teetering economy. 

Not only are state and city governments violating the constitution, but many businesses are as well. I'm privileged to be one of the many "essential workers." I haven't been concerned about loss of income or my business for which I am thankful. But do various businesses of various sizes have a right to violate the constitution? It's their business to be sure, but we still live in a Constitutional Republic don't we? Sadly while the specific actions may be new, the all too common "Gun Free Zones" are constitutional violations as well, and even more unwise now during this tragic crisis. Mandatory temperature checks and wearing of masks are still unconstitutional and makes many people wonder if they will try to make a new vaccine for COVID-19 mandatory as well. I sure hope not, and it's crazy that we even have to be concerned about that happening in the good ole US of A.

Look, if you want to wear a mask, go for it, but you don't have to worry about someone who doesn't. If you want to be vaccinated, great, then you don't have to worry about those who don't- not to discount alternative means that the mainstream fear-mongering pro-vaccine media won't talk about. If you want to stay at home and avoid restaurants, parks, weddings and funerals, more power to you, you don't have to worry about those who don't. The Governor from South Dakota correctly echoed our country's founding father(s) that we should not sacrifice liberty for safety constitutionally.

All of this said, and I'm not even really getting too much into inflated COVID-19 numbers, the severity of the virus, whether or not "Shelter in Place" was even the right way to handle COVID-19, trying to get people to snitch on others and tracking with drones and other means, lives being in much more danger due what this is doing to our already weak economy, and more. 

Issue guidelines, make recommendations, advertise, etc. But mandates that we're already seeing are unconstitutional. The U.S. Constitution was put together by the United "States" to restrict the Federal Government not citizens. If the Federal Government violates it, the individual states are to resist and nullify. If various States violate it, then the Federal Government is to intervene to protect her citizens. If corporations violate it, then the State(s) they operate in first, then the Federal Government if the State doesn't act, should intervene to protect citizens' constitutional rights.

Let's everyone get back to work before there is more severe permanent damage to our economy. 

'Nuff said in this post :-). Please consider and share.

Stimulus and National Debt

Greetings, Pester Brat here  :-).

Have you received your stimulus money yet?

Your $1,200 added about $4,000 to your share of the National Debt as a citizen and $10,000 as a tax payer. The National Debt is now over 24.5 Trillion Dollars and it's not finished going up directly due to the first stimulus package let alone the 2nd one that's waiting for House approval.

If the unconstitutional stay at home orders continue much longer it can kill so many more people than the COVID-19 will.


Wake up folks!
