Finney Law Firm Goes after Amy Acton: Politicians who ruined our lives over Covid-19 must pay one way or the other

I was very happy to hear that the Finney Law Firm and the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law have joined forces to sue Dr. Amy Acton and the Ohio Department of Health over the mandatory business closures that were imposed in Ohio due to the Covid-19 scare which was set forth without due process hearings. Of course the DeWine administration will say that time is of the essence and they had to act fast to save lives, so to Hell with due process, but it’s the kind of situation that must be fought out if not in the streets, then in court. The conflict must happen. I would say that getting Chris Finney and his law firm involved, which I have covered him on several other issues on this site over the years, is the best thing that could be considered a “next stage” enterprise. In previous cultures bad things might have happened to Amy Acton due to the way her decisions imposed themselves on the freedoms of all our lives. This method of challenging what she had done is far better than making a belt out of her, but let’s not forget, the basic tenants of the American Constitution require all people to be a bit combative when it comes to the enforcement of the law and the conduct of a civil society. As much as I’ve written over the years on these matters let me remind everyone, which is quite obvious on my profile page that explains why I run this blog site, is my love of literature and specifically the two main books that shaped our Constitution, the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers. I am never far from those two books and I refer to them often, along with the Ohio Constitution several times a week now for decades. I consider them beautiful works of art and the premise behind them is constructive conflict, and if there was ever a need for it, this ridiculous reaction that the United States had to the Covid-19 invasion is it. The ultimate costs of bad decisions by the politicians in charge is incalculable at this point and there needs to be some punishment inflicted. Legally is always better than with violence, but justice must be heard.

I’ve been saying it from the outset, the coronavirus shutdowns, the social distancing, the whole “saving the lives by staying home together” was a foreign attack on the American way of life, and we should have been taking up arms against it, not cowering in fear like a bunch of terrified children letting it ruin our lives. Maybe it was easier for me to see since I am a very avid reader with thousands of books in my wake. I’ve read everything from War and Peace, Finnegan’s Wake, to the Canterbury Tales—and enjoyed them. I would throw Atlas Shrugged in there as well, my son in law was just laid off this week from a very good job purely because of how politicians ruined our economy over the coronavirus and that book came to my mind—almost verbatim to the conditions of that story. Once you’ve seen the heart of mankind from such a god-like perspective as written works of art, it makes understanding big picture problems much easier to decipher. What was imposed on our culture was wrong, and it was completely un-American. The land of the free and the home of the brave don’t hide in homes terrified of a silly virus. And it is not our obligation to “slow the spread” to help the health care industry with their capacity. That is a free market problem and the health care industry needs to be ready for whatever comes, at all times because profit is their motive. Not a government that has overregulated the industry so that only complacent minds are left who follow orders too quickly without question and have lost their imaginations to solutions that Covid-19 actually required. Trump tried to use such ideas from the outset by seeing the problem, Covid-19 was spreading fast. So he suggested taking hydroxychloroquine and to get back to their lives. The doctors said, “no, we need more trials until we get a vaccine. Keep America shut down for the next 18 months.”

The insistence that a government bureaucracy knew best and that we were supposed to suspend our lives waiting for them to get their act together is the heart of any legal argument that will emerge from this dispute, for which the Finney Law Firm is basing as a foundation by the nature of the incursion. Amy Acton in this case is the target because Governor DeWine deferred the control of the state over to her and it was her decisions that made the problem much worse, the solution was far worse than the problem especially when she insisted on using global models from hostile foreign governments as her bases for the decision making process. Many of these governors, especially in the Blue states, which Ohio isn’t, but it behaved that way especially when DeWine overruled a judge to shut down the primary elections in March just hours before the polling places were to open—they don’t want what happens next which are many court cases where they will be lacerated due to their violations of constitutional liberty. DeWine isn’t a dummy to the law, he used to be the attorney general of the state and a prosecutor. He thinks he was functioning from legal ground due to the emergency powers afforded to him under the Constitution of both the federal government and the state. However, his inability to provide timelines is at the heart of the problem, and to continue to move the goal posts during the entire ordeal. Most of the governors of the United States abused their power under the emergency conditions and those are prosecutable offenses. Amy Acton may have been well meaning, just like an airplane pilot, but if they crash land an aircraft on a busy highway and end up destroying lives and money, they are going to be prosecuted for neglect. Amy Acton certainly destroyed many lives directly connected to her decisions and good intentions are not a defense. Many governors can see that bad things are coming for them and they’d love for this crises to go on forever, because the day to pay is coming and it won’t be pretty.

But we just can’t let this go, just as the DeWine administration declared that we would never be allowed to go back to a normal life until there is a vaccine for coronavirus—as if it is his mandate to protect us all from every danger that there is. In the legal world everyone sees what he’s doing, the setting the goal post way out there to protect his bad decisions and to keep legal entanglements wrapped in uncertainty to cover for his own Constitutional violations. That is why even as this virus scare is declining, the governors’ restrictions are increasing as people are now being pushed to wear masks in public to slow the spread, because the politicians need a boogieman to blame for why they abused their power, and overstepped their mandate. It has nothing to do with safety or concern for the public. Its to protect their own asses for overstepping their powers and ruining countless lives and placing the states in billions and billions of further debt. And because of that, the burden to challenge them falls on us through protests, court challenges, and other means of defiance. Laws are one thing that have been debated in congress and within our senate chambers, but made up crap from some health freaks who step over the legislature to enact laws that change our lives drastically, and bring harm to our economy are not acceptable and the due process that we are all promised is going to play out in some form. Court challenges are a good resort over physical violence, but we are talking about an either-or situation. And the longer governors try to hide behind safety, the more violent the protests will become, so it’s better to pay now than later, because things could get out of control quickly—especially when so many lives have been ruined by the dumb decisions of the politicians who were in charge.

Mark Welch Questions Covid-19 in West Chester: The aftermath

You can hear the pain in Mark Welch’s voice at a recent meeting of the trustees in West Chester, Ohio where they discussed the Covid-19 nightmare that has shut down the economy of the region for reasons that made little sense to anybody. Mark is running for the 52nd congressional seat in Ohio that will take place by mail-in ballot by April 27th, and after watching this very sincere video where the topic of this discussion starts at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark, it is clear why I support him in the election. Mark also is a small business owner and he’s not happy, like many people aren’t. They don’t understand why their livelihoods have been robbed by shutting down the American economy, and more specifically, why Governor DeWine of Ohio has gone several steps further than the Presidential guidelines to lead the nation into a travesty of economic doom that we now know will be somewhat alleviated on May 1st when Ohio will re-open for business once President Trump laid down the federal guidelines for such an activity. Even political insiders like Mark are perplexed as to what just happened, and why. It has rocked the world this whole reaction to the global pandemic called Covid-19 out of Wuhan, China, but as Americans we expected better, and what we got was a fresh taste of harsh communism by tyrants we thought where our friendly neighbors and we have had the sharp, and sinister breath of death down our backs by a new generation of brownshirts, most of them working in our media.

Of the governors who dealt with the Covid-19 situation best, it was South Dakota’s Kristi Noem. She was heavily criticized by that new generation of brownshirts who were obvious Chinese communist sympathizers in the media because Kristi defended the Constitution to the very last moment and as a result, people respected her and the coronavirus cases were greatly minimized in that state which is more rural than most. But the results overall were very effective. Obviously the brownshirts in the media wanted her head on a plate for not following the national shutdown through peer pressure that ironically started with a Republican governor in DeWine who wanted to be the first to race to the bottom of everything you shouldn’t do as a governor. Kristi resisted it and certainly came out on top as one of the best Republican governors as a result. The governors of South Carolina and Texas also did well. But the worst was Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan who essentially became a modern version of history’s most vicious tyrants using the threat of the coronavirus to enact very rigid climate change proposals straight off the pages of the New Green Deal. It was communism here in America bypassing any legislature considerations through emergency order to rule by force, and it was disgusting. Kentucky was a close second behind Whitmer.

The truth of the matter was that the virus was never that scary. I said so much very early in the process and if I could see it, everyone else could too. DeWine should have known better as the political leader in Ohio. Its one thing to listen to a liberal climate change activist like Amy Acton, the Ohio Health Director, it’s quite another to give her a blank check to set policy under a state of emergency stress and to let her ruin the lives of millions to save a few hundred people. The rationale for the whole endeavor never made logical sense because the premise was rooted in emotion over one political topic marketed by the World Health Organization for big international objectives that were never really about the virus itself. It was about changing human behavior from the outset by using fear to control that behavior. So being right about the origins of the virus and who was to blame, I’ll also say that the continued methods outlined to return to normal is just Dumbo’s feather again. “You can fly if only you hold this feather, you can return to work if only you social distance, and wash your hands.” Its been a scam from the beginning to spread communism into the free markets of the West and now that everyone can see it, the governors have to walk back out of the mess they have put themselves in to have some success at saving face.

But its too late for that, the governors who most ruined their economy by shutting down everything and ruling with an iron fist the people of their state have Hell to pay. They have not been collecting sales tax. In Florida, which runs off tourism, the Disney Company has lost tens of millions per day due to the shutting down of the economy which surely delighted the climate activists which that company had been a part of, especially with its ownership of ABC News. Now they have felt the sting of liberal activism during an attempted takeover by communism to rule in America. Once there were a few protestors in Ohio that started on April 9th going to Columbus by a handful to let DeWine know they were sick of the shutdowns and destruction of the jobs there, Michigan became even bolder and emerged on Lansing in large numbers to protest the very progressive Whitmir. It didn’t take long for the pitchforks to come out which alarmed even the most staunch communist advocate at the World Health Organization—and their “save the world by staying home together” campaign. Americans will do just about anything to save a life in the short run, but once they smell the fish in the water, they will be looking for someone’s ass to sling from a flagpole and that is where we find ourselves and the governors know it, especially the ones who screwed up the most. They must continue to pretend that all these measures to avoid the Covid-19 virus are still valid because if people find out that they were scammed all along, things will get even worse, far worse. You can’t take people’s jobs and stuff them in their homes hiding like a bunch of cowards for over a month and expect everything to work out well. The reckoning is coming for them and they are hoping that they can keep the boogie man alive just long enough to save themselves.

I think of this whole thing as beneficial. Most people doubt that the things I say about the push for communism was real in America, because they don’t see the effort in their lives. They know the Channel 12 reporters and might go have a drink with them under normal conditions and think of them as friends. But the moment the governors put down lockdowns, unconstitutional lockdowns at that, the local media went around and attempted to shame businesses into compliance and even beat on their chests about terrorizing children at playgrounds. The police wouldn’t come to a home out of fear of coronavirus to conduct law enforcement in the city of Cincinnati, but they sure would show up to put police tape around a playground in a public park so kids out of school couldn’t play on it. And if a company had a Covid case, they were quick to place the information on the front page of the news attempting to make a minor viral outbreak into a death sentence to shame the employer into closing to join the rest of the economy in stopping completely. But it was never real, it was all pure emotion and now people can see that for themselves, and the real fear now is not of the virus, but of the people’s lives ruined by trusting public officials who abused their power and now must face the music reluctantly after playing their part in destroying America for foreign enemies who made the effort all too enticing through stupidity, greed, and a hunger for being little dictators in the long lineage of such people that have evolved out of communism. It wasn’t the virus that ended up being so dangerous coming out of China, it was their ideas of communism that came from the World Health Organization to promote the idea as a reaction to the virus and split America in two literally, and in many ways, violently.

The Good Thing about Covid-19: Kids didn’t have to go to public schools

There have been some good things to come out of this international shutdown of our economy. People have learned how non-essential they really are, especially public-school teachers. Think of the next time one of their teacher unions demand a strike and shut down their school and parents must scramble how to find a babysitter to watch their kids during the day, the solution has presented itself. Parents can just stay home and work from there and can solve both problems rather easily. When government shut down our economy a new precedent has been established, and that will also be the case for the next time there are budget battles where anything in government shuts down. We have learned not to care because we have had to face the fact of not having those services for several months now, and can now adapt rather easily to labor shortages coming out of government, one of the most non-essential employer bases anywhere in the world. So, the next time teachers strike and walk off the job over pay to “save the children” with their education, we can just home school them as the nation has been doing, and we’ll have a plan because we’ve had to do it for a sustained period of time and it won’t be hard.

The best thing to come out of the whole shutdown is that we’ve broken a kind of spell on children stuck in public schools for a significant part of their life typically must endure painfully. I can imagine how wonderful it has been for many of them to have essentially the entire spring and summer off. As we all know, the things that make a public-school experience even somewhat useful are the dances, sports and other social programs that come with them. When my wife and I were raising our kids and we homeschooled for a significant amount of time we had just about every family member in an outrage because they felt we were denying our kids access to these public social events. In the post-world of social distancing where many so quickly accepted that such things were actually a deadly encounter, the denial of not having access to school dances will never have the same kind of value. Kids were always far better off not going to those kinds of things and the poison going into their minds from public education has now been broken and going back to how things were will be difficult for everyone, especially now that we have all witnessed how useless many of those jobs really are. It was already bad enough that schoolteachers were paid to be off all summer long, now adding an entire spring to the mix shows just how useless many of those positions really were. Parents have had to spend that extra time with their kids and learned that its not so bad, and if they find they can’t leave them home by themselves, then they can just work from home with their employers like most everyone is doing presently. Even employers have learned how to solve these kinds of problems and who they really need physically present, and who they don’t.

I remember how great it was to get one snow day and be able to stay home from school, to break the spell of public education and be able to choose anything you wanted to do with your day in the middle of the week. It was wonderful. I can’t imagine how great it was for kids to learn that they were going to be free of the public education menace for weeks, if not months—perhaps for the rest of the year. I’m sure there are kids who are paying attention to the coronavirus drama just so they can make sure they won’t have to attend school until the fall of 2020. We have all had to deal with the unimaginable with this virus shutdown and have learned that none of these things were nearly as bad as we used to think of them, like not having the school as a free babysitter, and teaching kids from home instead of the government programming that typically goes on. We have learned that much of what government does for us isn’t essential at all and the next time they try to have parades justifying their labor strikes we can just blow them off as a waste of our time, because they are. The employees in those fields may be just as excited as the kids in being out of school and on vacation for much of the rest of the year, and still getting paid but think of the next school levies where teacher pay is the prime issue. People have learned to live without them, and I don’t see them voting for many tax increases when parents have now learned they can do the job themselves and likely get permission from their employer to stay home to do it.

It will be difficult, if not impossible to erase this experience from the minds of the young people who have experienced it. For most of us our public educations were a consistent drum beat of liberalized programming that we experienced from our early childhoods to our early adulthoods. A break like what we have seen over Covid-19 was never an option so it will be interesting to see how minds not so corrupted for such a long time behave in a post Covid-19 world. For most people their paralysis over the government stupidity in shutting down the world and so blindly adhering to the United Nations Agenda 21 strategies started with those public educations that taught us to take orders, stand in line and behave and to not question authority started in those classrooms and have not been good for us. Too many people were way too quick to just accept that the government knew what it was doing, and as each state’s governors were in competition to become the next tyrant people treated them as they would a bad teacher in school, by just sitting quietly and hoping to get through the class without being punished. They held their breath and just took every draconian measure when what was required is a good ass kicking by the public toward their elected representatives. There were some real tyrannical problems coming out of Michigan, Kentucky, California and Illinois by liberal Democrats who let the power of the nationwide shutdown go to their heads. And we learned to accept those abuses in public school. It will be interesting to see how this break has boosted up the minds of the kids now attending their school age endurance with much more self-empowering options.

I’ve been saying for a very long time that staying home was a much better way to teach kids, and that the entire public education experience was a waste of time. Well, now people can see that for themselves, their kids didn’t melt, they certainly haven’t lost opportunities to learn new things. And spending more time with their families has been the best thing to come out of Covid-19, because kids need to be raised by their parents, not the state. Certainly not a lot of lazy minded schoolteachers being paid by the state to make products of the state who will then serve the state as adults blindly and without any rebellious thoughts. What we get out of public education is entirely non-essential and that will certainly play a part in future funding debates. Why pay those idiots fortunes to do a job we can do better ourselves from home? And the answer to that question will change the world for the better for sure.

The Fight is On: Getting America back open before things get out of hand

They are watching us, the United Nations, the World Health Organization and communist dictators around the world, Democrats, they are measuring our behavior during the lockdowns over the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020. They are waiting to see if anybody grabs their guns and pushes back against some of the tyrannical governors who are banning travel between homes, the activity of stores, and in general how much we will take as Americans of an authoritarian government before somebody snaps and goes off the deep end. And without question they are happy that most Americans have not fallen apart during the lockdowns to their homes as many of their constitutional rights were stripped away overnight, their jobs were destroyed, and the very real threat to their lives made themselves known during an election year. What notes they have been able to take on American behavior has embolden them, if only they could get President Trump out of the way and get someone like Joe Biden, a puppet on the throne, then they could have their way with us. That is likely the scouting report going back around the world about how Americans managed the Covid-19 pandemic, we dealt with it surprisingly with a lot of patience and trust in what we call “leaders.” I don’t call elected officials’ leaders, but most people do. I call them representatives; I don’t need anybody to “lead” me anywhere. What I do need are people to represent my leadership in elected office, which is how our republic is supposed to work. But, that’s not what happened during the Covid lockdowns and now the enemies of America are very much in an empowered state.

Its good that Greg Abbott is looking at getting Texas open again. Hopefully, that starts a much-needed chain reaction with other Republican governors in reopening their economies, which should have never shut down to begin with off phony numbers provided by the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control. Since the lockdowns began, it has been a race to the bottom as governor after governor sought to take away more freedoms from the people of their states out of a fear of liability due to Covid-19 deaths. President Trump himself needs Abbott and other governors to take the bold step in getting people out of their homes and back to work, and to get away from the ridiculous steps of social distancing which only served the needs of the environmental wackos at the World Health Organization, not anything to do with saving a single life over the virus outbreak. Social distancing was about slowing the spread, only not for the reasons that the terrorists intended, it was not to keep the hospital system from becoming overwhelmed, which was never a real threat. The models showed them to be, but who can trust what a terrorist is giving you? I didn’t believe them, why did you?

Trump is also right to start going after the World Health Organization. As dire as this entire attack has been, and revelatory in showing our weaknesses to our global enemies, there are a lot of good things that will come out of all this, especially if we can manage to keep Trump in office. I say “if” because we have seen how deep the Deep State really is. The push to go to mail-in ballots for the next election to utilize social distancing will allow for massive opportunities for cheating in the election, so we must consider that as part of the enemy strategy. We are not all in this together. They are the enemy—those seeking to weaken American law and constitutional liberties for some global aim. Let’s make that quite clear. Many of us have come close to testing how far we would have to go to protect those liberties and its obvious to me that at some point, there will be a conflict. Especially if Trump is not elected or something happens that eliminates him from another four years in the Executive Branch. There are hostile forces at play and without a proper representative in the Executive Branch, we will likely have to fight physically for our rights. Based on our performance during the lockdowns, our global enemies are thinking it will be easy to get Americans to comply with their desires, so they will really pour it on now—they’ve seen a light at the end of the tunnel and their aggression has increased as they can smell the blood in the water.

The goal of social distancing was to ostracize us from our support networks. People are a touchy, feely species and they need to socialize, most people do anyway. So it was a small miracle to convince Americans to “think of others” by locking themselves in their homes to prevent the spread of a “deadly and out of control disease that was killing everyone in sight.” But to do that for over a month was a major victory for the World Health Organization and once Trump started questioning them on the matter they tossed out their original defense, “there will be body bags on your hands,” which is how all this started in the first place. They threatened Trump with lots of dead bodies which of course he was sworn to protect. That’s when they had him, and how they got away with all this. They paralyzed Trump with basically a gun to the head, pick either the economy or the people, because we are happy to kill them both. And that’s how the Agenda 21 crowd views things globally. They see population density as a threat to planet earth, so they want to reduce our numbers anyway. They don’t care if it’s a virus that kills people, or if they must be killed by a government maintaining quotas, they will do whatever they must to save planet earth from mankind. Then when it comes to money and economies, they want to collapse them all as part of their communist nature. What good is money when a one world government is the desire? Trump has been trying to walk the tightrope here, to have both. He picked the people and let the economy take the headshot because he thinks he can outsmart them. But so far they have just been empowered.

But to Trump’s way of thinking the hat is now on our heads, we can justify closed borders, we can weaken the dollar to make it more attractive to investors, and people have had a taste of full socialism and now know it can come to their doorsteps in a fraction of a second, that everything they trust can be taken from them quickly. We could go from the great United States to Venezuela in a matter of weeks. We’ve seen it, so now maybe people will defend it. There are good things that can come out of all this, but it starts with leadership, the state governors must take that step forward to reopen their economies and not to be afraid of this stupid Covid-19 virus. Once Abbot does it, hopefully more will follow him quickly. I get that all the administration officials in the Executive Branch and in each governorship got caught flatfooted and suckered into the whole social distancing scam to “slow the spread” which is to say, “to keep the news story alive for longer to satisfy Agenda 21 strategies,” so they are stuck having to walk back how all our efforts saved lives and did so much good, even if they see now that they were screwed over by radical global terrorists that have infected their staffs through academia. None of that matters now, what does is that we reopen our nation and never let anything like this happen again. The pressure will be worse now, because the enemy tasted that blood, so don’t expect things to go easy now that so many have tasted power and could see us struggle against the ropes. They will come after us harder and the real fight could get much worse, but the first step is to get America open again for business so that maybe we can keep Trump, and keep our guns in the gun safes unused.

Bill Gates and his plot to take over the World: He almost got away with it

While politicians all over the world are wiping the egg off their faces after these radical World Health Organization officials pulled off one of the biggest scams in the history of the world that literally robbed trillions of dollars from all of us, we must learn what we can from it so that it doesn’t happen again. As I have said from the beginning, long before The Drudge Report, Sean Hannity, and even Alex Jones, the coronavirus outbreak pandemic scare was all about manmade climate change, and little else. Except that Bill Gates and his friends at the WHO, they wanted something more which they thought would help control populations in the future and ultimately help the earth, which to their way of thinking, humans were the real virus. Of course, from their point of view, they think they are right about their thoughts of a mandatory vaccine, which has been a dream of Gates for a very long time. I’ve probably watched all the Ted Talks Gates has done over the last half of a decade and I saw his fingerprints on this coronavirus thing from the very first hour of the very first day. He has put a lot of money into the World Health Organization, but more than that, has built powerful relationships, largely with the communist Chinese and he has very specific needs for a global government that could pull all the nations of the world under a common threat, which would force them to cooperate together all to get mandatory vaccines in place to ultimately control the way humans interact with the earth.

Dr. Fauci from the CDC is one of those people who walked into President Trump’s office and told him that up to 2 million people were going to die if we didn’t shut down the economy, and the media ran away with the story from a fresh $100 million the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation had just committed to the World Health Organization to fight the Covid-19 outbreak that had just spawned in Wuhan, China. And a few weeks before that the top show on Netflix wasn’t Tiger King, it was Pandemic—which was about the next big viral outbreak that “might” strike an unprepared America. Shortly thereafter the World Health Organization designated Covid-19 a dangerous and deadly “pandemic” which the media ran with, fresh off the new Netflix series which many of them had watched and suddenly the world was on its heels so fast that nobody saw it coming. Well, I did. But nobody else. Rush Limbaugh was off for his cancer treatment and I am inclined to think he would have figured it out as fast as I did, but he wasn’t on the radio during this time and the virus hit everyone flat footed and before we knew it the governors of the United States were in a competition to the bottom shutting down more and more economic activity until there were fines issued for people leaving their homes. Every day was a new regulation and order from a police state that was spinning out of control and had frozen the Trump administration into action because of the fear of that death toll that Dr. Fauci had placed on Trump’s feet. Trump had to listen to them, once.

You might have noticed the little smile Bill Gates let out when Chris Wallace asked about the work Dr. Fauci had been doing as a member of the President’s Covid-19 Task Force. Gates was very happy; they have known each other for a long time, and they knew what the goals were. Dr. Amy Acton in Ohio was having the same kind of success with Governor Mike DeWine who was tricked into thinking that he was saving lives with his actions with a lot of phony math meant to make Covid-19 seem much scarier and more deadly than it turned out to be, which is why I have labeled the actions of the World Health Organization terrorism. It could easily be said that what Bill Gates did during the entire Covid-19 outbreak was terrorism. So was what Dr. Fauci did the day he walked into President Trump’s office and declared that millions of people were going to die of Covid-19. He had to know that the models wouldn’t be correct, he had bad data and he couldn’t be that stupid. Now from their point of view, specifically of Bill Gates and his desire to make vaccines for all people all over the world mandatory, everything done during this massive global shutdown was urgent. Only his goal was to attack the real virus as he sees it, mankind so to inoculate them from creating further harm from mother earth. A lot of people think Bill Gates is a genius, and he may be. I admire the work he did to create Microsoft. I personally love Microsoft; I use the products of that company probably more than most people do daily in the world. But Gates isn’t smarter than I am, I would gladly play chess with that guy any day of the week. His movements are not a mystery to me, as they apparently were to many very stupid politicians and media types who swallowed his hook not just to the sinker, but the pole and the fisherman itself.

Bill Gates is closer to a James Bond villain than he is a greasy haired geek who started one of the greatest companies in the world from his garage. Who he is today is a terrorist, a person who uses fear to invoke policy changes on a group of people, in this case, the entire world. His scheme was every bit as maniacal as any plot to take over the world from those James Bond movies ever were. Except people aren’t trained to think of evil as a doctor or the weapons of terrorism coming from fear of a lack of vaccinations instead of a nuclear bomb but its all the same game in this story. And this won’t be the last time. Bill Gates may not be the guy the next time they try this, it will likely come from a different direction by a whole new villain as Gates pouts in his corner of the world about how evil people are who don’t accept his crazy notions about man-made climate change, brought to us by the same losers at the World Health Organization that projected millions of people dead over a tiny virus that has turned out to be no deadlier than a common illness. It wasn’t social distancing that saved us all from doom. The Covid-19 virus just was never that threatening. The whole “flattening the curve” that the CDC was trying to sell us all on, which has destroyed our way of life in America and across the world did nothing but slow down the rate the virus spread to protect a healthcare system that was never in jeopardy. By now most people know somebody who had Covid-19 and they’ve watched them recover from it, and they are having their “what the hell” moments of questioning the government’s reaction to the whole thing, and that is the lesson for next time. We cannot surrender our constitution to villains like Bill Gates who are working against the intentions of mankind. They are not allowed to manipulate our elected representatives with false models that scare them with thousands of potential deaths to push them into suspending constitutional liberties so that people will accept that level of state control to pave the way for mandatory vaccinations all in the name of “safety.” There will be a lot of clean-up after this mess that will go on for a long time, but at least we’ve seen this game and we know the players. The next time won’t be so easy for them.

The New Brownshirts: Safety and compliance has become the new weapons of communism

We all have a job to do, otherwise the world ends up with a bunch of people like we see in the Tiger King documentary on Netflix that is so popular. The Constitution must be maintained with vigilance otherwise it dies and we end up being run in life by people like Joe Exotic and Jeff Lowe. From hour number one of the China Virus outbreak of the latest rendition of the coronavirus which produced in people flu like symptoms of an accelerated pneumonia the cure was certainly weaponized to be much more severe than the cause and the misery absorbed by all of us will never be forgotten. I can say that I will be beating on this drum for a long time because this is the closest I’ve ever seen us come in America to a total police state. Many thought it would be science fiction to even consider such a ridiculous proposal as what we have seen as public policy in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak but here we are. I literally sat on pins and needles over the weekend of April 4th 2020 and watched the routine DeWine press conference at 2 PM worried about what the little guy would say next, whether or not wearing masks in public would become “law” or if we would all be punished due to a block party that happened in Over-the-Rhine in downtown Cincinnati Friday night. “Social distancing” had been violated and the entire state of Ohio was bracing for another over-reaction by DeWine to impose a curfew. This clearly wasn’t the way America was ever supposed to operate.

I had a lot to do over that same weekend, all of it considered essential work but I was actually concerned about being stopped to explain it, and that should never be the case in the United States ever. It was about this time that I learned that the great Republican governor of Georgia had taken the leadership on his own to re-open the beaches there to give people some level of happiness due to his recent stay at home order. The Republican governor of South Carolina had been fighting that temptation, to issue a stay at home order which was a popular well populated state that had much reduced cases of Covid-19. There are likely lots of reasons why, but I had to admire the tenacity of those governors to resist the push to close up shop which was really the intent of the entire playbook of the Covid-19 outbreak. America was under attack by a new kind of communism, and there were a whole new group of “brownshirts” emerging, or the youth of communism that overtook St. Petersburg in Russia to overthrow the entire country toward state-controlled means of production. It was happening in America and I certainly wasn’t OK with it, and I will never forget it. As I did my essential business over that weekend mentioned there were many on Twitter and other social media formats asking Governor DeWine to mandate a curfew. There were enemies functioning in the open in America and they were seeking to apply pressure on our governors to overact and rob us of our dignities promised by our Constitution, and it was getting into the very scary category.

Let’s just say I made significant investments over the weekend to protect the Second Amendment by visiting Cabela’s in West Chester, and what I saw there was truly sad. I made significant purchases and while checking out, they had very strict rules on social distancing, everything was measured six feet apart, they were only letting 50 people into the store at a time, and the cashier had to maintain that distance the entire time while taking payment and scanning all my goods. It was irritating and actually pretty scary. The men in line with me were tough outdoor types and we all were looking at each other like, “is this our country? You’ve got to be kidding.” None of us should be scared of a stupid little virus, this was not the American way to deal with a problem and even Cabela’s was caught up in the vast evil of being forced into overcompliance. Too many rules by the state imposing itself on the imagination and general happiness of what a place like Cabela’s offers our culture. Later I went to Wal-Mart in West Chester and it was the same kind of story, a line outside as if it were Kings Island to keep too many people from going into the store, social distancing was strictly being monitored and there was a quiet suspicion of everyone, because they might be the latest narc telling the government that this place of business or that was not complying as there was a class of people in our midst who wanted this coronavirus to produce a communist takeover of our Constitutional rights, and to change the nature of how we operated in the United States.

The worst thing about it was that the entire playbook for dealing with the virus was not American at all, it was based on a global reaction to what the World Health Organization called a “pandemic.” The moment they did that the entire world joined together as if it were governed by a one world government and they shut down the economy and issued stay at home orders. And in the United States we had clear home-grown terrorists who were doing their part into shaming people into compliance with this new world order—and I could see a fight coming. That was why I was nervous, it wasn’t the fight itself but the realization that once I was pulled over and questioned for doing my business, or one of these people confronted me about not wearing a mask, everything I had built my life around would be in jeopardy and an all out conflict would ensue that would prevent us from all going back nicely to the way things had been in America. Luckily later that same day Trump showed signs of his old self. The death toll numbers were obviously way overstated and the doctors at the front of the alarmism were retreating from their previous assumptions and it was obvious that the president was losing patience with them. It was time to get the economy moving again. And not all governors got completely suckered into the same behavior, which was likely what has saved us all from an all-out civil war. This reaction to Covid-19 was built completely on peer pressure and entirely too many fell victim to it.

We have an obligation to protect our Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, even when there is a virus outbreak. The numbers on this coronavirus will be nowhere near what other virus outbreaks have been when its all said and done, there was no justification for shutting down the American economy and we should have never been following some playbook from another country. This attempt at forcing Americans to do the same thing that they were doing in Europe or in China was an attack on our way of life and its not forgivable. And we’ve seen that there are plenty of domestic enemies around us every day because it was they who were going around trying to shame people into following governor orders who were clearly in a competition to outdo each other in compliance to safety. Safety had become a new kind of tyranny and our lifestyles were being openly attacked by the advocates. And that is something I will never forget. I certainly won’t let anybody else forget it either.

DON’T LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS: Covid-19 in a world of elephants and long tusks

I have been hard on Mike DeWine through the entire Covid-19 outbreak not because he’s a bad person. He’s actually a good person, but he screwed up as a leader and listened to the experts without providing the kind of executive filtration needed in his position. So I say he should be impeached for abusing his emergency powers, costing the state of Ohio billions, and putting unnecessary hardship on each and every person trusting him and his decisions. Good people do dumb things and when they do, they get fired like everyone else. And his mistake was in turning over practically all decision making in response to the coronavirus outbreak to Amy Acton, a professional academic, and letting her set a liberal policy in how to react to a crisis as an unelected bureaucrat. Now, I’m a Republican, an old fashioned one and am used to the people around me not being as solid of a Republican as I am. If the elephant is the symbol of our party, I am that elephant off by himself grazing in the hot sun with tusks dragging on the ground. DeWine is that beat up soul huddled in the group that has been through a lot, he’s had his tusks cut off for poaching, he’s been mulled by lions and he’s certainly been weakened over the years so he is what we call a RINO Republican, he seeks the safety of the herd for his own reasons. I get it, but when he makes himself easy prey for attackers, then he is a threat to my party and philosophy, and he doesn’t have a right to do that, and that is precisely what he has done by bringing in professionals to run the state where he lacked the courage to do so himself.

When we look back on this Covid-19 crises it will be our trust in the “professionals” that got us into all the trouble and caused the trillions of dollars in damages. We’ve set our society up across the world to turn people into overly specialized experts in their fields of endeavor when in all actuality we have been doing it all wrong for well over a century. Experts are good for specificity, but often leadership requires many ways of looking at the same information and picking the best path, and over-specialization blinds even the best experts to the totality of needed leadership. In the case of the world-wide shut down the source of the problem was terrorist intentions to take advantage of the specialized class of doctors in the WHO, the attention starved CDC and all the state health directors and contaminate their trust in modeling with bad assumptions which then triggered a global panic. Once that happened and the experts were crippled and looking to cover their asses with more bad numbers to try to get out of the corners they painted themselves into, the terrorists were looking to inflict massive social change while the world was focused on what the experts would say next.

For many years, and I still have that toolbox in my shop at my house, I had a saying I held very true from the 9 ways of the samurai printed on the lid of my toolbox so I could see it every day. I worked at Cincinnati Milacron for a while when I was younger and got to know a lot of machinists and precision manufacturers where I learned a lot, but I always leaned on those 9 ways of the samurai to think above and beyond the problems that company went through as they gradually died before our very eyes. I would say the cause of death was over-specialization. As the industry changed, Cincinnati Milacron couldn’t make the switch because they were too specialized to adapt. But one of those 9 ways of the samurai is to know the way of all things. That means that a person should not be specialized in only one thing then fit themselves into the cogs of society to only do that one thing, whether it’s a lawyer, an accountant, a manager, a mother or father, a teacher—whatever. What is required, especially among anybody offering themselves as a leader is a person hungry for knowledge in all fields and to understand their ways and how they connect. You don’t have to be a master of all the topics, but to understand their flow and relationships. Most companies, or governments die because they are overly specialized and too in love with processes that create a world of specialization. When needed, they can’t think on their feet and are easy to defeat when challenged.

And that is where we find ourselves with this coronavirus nonsense. We have allowed specialized doctors to create policy instead of the debate our republic demands and now we have all kinds of trouble. The powers behind this virus outbreak put the pressure on President Trump who has a history of doing exactly as I have said, not trusting experts and making decisions based on a wide range of understanding that most CEOs can do. When the experts threatened to paint Trump with every death that came out of essentially an aggressive pneumonia outbreak, Trump took a step back and said OK, we’ll listen to the experts. Its an election year. He’s not going to let them hang this on his head when it was the experts who said that millions of people would be dead if we didn’t social distance. And then they backed that figure down to 200,000. Now that number as of this writing is going down further and Dr Doom himself is trying to blame the modeling that he built his whole case around. If I were Trump, I wouldn’t play that game, but he is after all a New York liberal. He’s new to the field of elephants. His tusks aren’t as big as mine, but he hasn’t had his cut off like DeWine has, so there is at least enough fight and logic in Trump to make something good of all this. But it was all so unnecessary, and all the pain was caused by “experts” who leveraged themselves onto the world stage, and now they are drowning by the attention.

Leadership, real leadership is where you listen to what experts say, but you consider all types of other information as well. Americans are not a society that will be ruled by some academic class, which is exactly what this Covid-19 outbreak is about. To watch Doctor Doom from the CDC contemplate the 10th Amendment and wonder why the federal government hasn’t shut down the entire country, he clearly doesn’t know enough about law to grapple with the scope of his desire. He may know something about colds and viruses as a professional doctor, but he clearly doesn’t understand constitutional law, or much of what drives human behavior. He has built his models around his academic view of the world and nothing else, and that has put us all in a perilous place because the rest of the medical community has followed him state to state blindly accepting his mistakes as our new reality. To know the art of all things, to fight a virus we must consider that it is the human immune system that we must bolster to fight off viruses and to do that vitamin D is important (sunshine). Happiness in general. Good food, optimism, there are lots of factors to consider. We could easily say that following these doctor’s orders has likely spread the virus by lowering everyone’s immune systems in such a passive state. Specialists who are only thinking about lives saved and can only think in the means of a process struggle when the true answer is outside of those questions such as what factors make a life—a life? Someone pent up scared in their homes waiting on a government led by doctors to save them or a self-empowered person acting cautiously and doing all the right things to build themselves up to combat the virus with their own immune systems, which way is the best path? The push for a centralized solution ultimately is what caused all the deaths if we want to blame them on anything. The “slow the spread” tactic came up by these experts has only delayed the inevitable, which was their push to highlight socialized desires in the healthcare system, at the expense of all our happiness and good living.

If we listen to the doctors they would have us all wearing helmets each time we go outside, putting on masks so that ugly people feel more equal to pretty people, and they’d have us all having sex in hazmat suits. They are not leaders, only considerations. They become problems when we make leaders out of them and when they are, they destroy everything in sight every single time. There is no instance on earth or in world history where an overly specialized society ever thrived, and it never will in the future. Leadership remains an elusive science, but when a politician like DeWine accepts a leadership role then turns it over to a process driven specialist like Amy Acton, and she screws everything up, its his fault. You don’t surrender leadership over to experts who are too specialized to see the big picture. And that is precisely why every single American, and many around the world are suffering right now, because leadership was left to those least able to conduct it.

It is Terrorism Behind the Covid-19 Outbreak: We can now prosecute those responsible

So its time to start making the case that everyone, or every organization who has attempted in some way to use the coronavirus pandemic as cited by the World Health Organization in a fearful way to change behavior, especially in America, as a terrorist. After all, that’s what terrorists do, they use fear to make a point. They don’t always have to be dressed up like some desert slugs walking in from the ruins of the Middle East. They can be working professors out of Harvard and/or run major television networks. They might even be doctors advising governors and presidents on policy regarding how to deal with a virus outbreak. They might be rich people fresh off the board with Microsoft who want to scare everyone into emitting a zero-carbon footprint to deal with climate change. Anyone who has used terror to manipulate politics to advance their own point of view could classify themselves as a terrorist and the behavior surrounding Covid-19, the “China Virus” is certainly that. I think we are now well beyond the point of saying that the models the scientists were using to predict the viral outbreak coming out of China that has paralyzed the world and shut down the economy everywhere were accidentally wrong. The way that doctors and media outlets have used that wrong information to instill fear and behavior change on just America is enough to classify them as global terrorists, and its time we start dealing with them in that way.

If a ship captain is drunk and runs their ship into a harbor killing many on accident, they would still be charged criminally with negligence. If a pilot landing a plane crashed killing many on board, they would be criminally investigated and blamed for the killings. If a train operator allowed their vehicle to pick up too much speed and crash through a derailment killing many thousands of people, they would be blamed for the conduct. So it should not be considered otherwise that the doctors and scientists who got all these models of death counts wrong with the Covid-19 shutdown of the American economy wouldn’t be held accountable. Let’s say it was an accident, they should still face jail time or other criminal prosecution for screwing up our society and ruining the happiness of so many people—even if they did so with the best intentions in mind. But, and this wouldn’t be hard to prove, if they did it with the intent to change the behavior of people with terror, then what they did was just as wrong as those 9/11 terrorists who crashed two planes into the World Trade Center to harm the American economy back in 2001. 19 years later, climate change activists and many professional scientists with an obvious hatred of capitalism have used the Covid-19 outbreak as political cover for their terrorism and it hasn’t taken long to reveal their true intentions. Already the governor of California is stating that this coronavirus is an opportunity to usher in a whole new “progressive era.” So the concept that everything behind Covid-19 is an act of terror, not a health concern as it is being disguised, is a true representation of what we are dealing with as a nation. And those openly participating are behaving with criminal conduct, not good intentions.

I’m convinced that Mike DeWine of Ohio has bought into the deadliness of the potential for this viral outbreak, because he trusts the scientists. I don’t think President Trump has, but he’s always being accused of not listening to the professionals, and with the media ready to blame him for every death that “could” happen as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak—he doesn’t have much choice but to play along. They certainly got his attention by saying millions of people were going to die as a result of this virus outbreak and each day when that doesn’t turn out to be the case, they revise the goal posts to fit a narrative that is meant to change behavior in America, everything from “social distancing” to wearing masks. Mike DeWine believes he is saving lives by being one of the first governors in the country to issue stay at home orders essentially shutting down the state. In my book, it was his decision to be a leader and to not fall for the antics of terrorism coming out of the science community that is full of climate change activists—so he is guilty for what he has done—even if he meant well. Someone must pay for the trillions of dollars lost, and for the loss of our way of life. He, nor does anybody get to say, “we’re all in this together,” then just go to bed thinking they saved the world from an invisible enemy. That enemy was never really the enemy, it was just a virus that most people became sick from and got over. Some people did die of complications like what happens with just about everything that people do. There was nothing all that unique about this virus, only that it was being weaponized to attack western civilization and it had terrorist soldiers in place to advance the dialogue and scare politicians like Donald Trump, and Mike DeWine into suspending our constitutional rights and altering our lives due to the sheer terror of potential death. Yet there is nothing that says that by staying home we are saving a single life, or that slowing the spread is doing anything but prolonging the inevitable. Where the real cure is to get the virus, stay home for a few days, then return to the world immune to coronavirus in the future, the doctors and scientists of the world have interrupted nature to invoke behavioral change that was not meant to save a single person, but assist them with advancing a progressive, socialist agenda in North America.

There is clearly enough evidence for even a mediocre lawyer to establish intent on this case on a scale for which the world has never seen. Pick a target, we are in a target rich environment, from CNN to Dr. Doom himself. We could certainly throw in Amy Acton from Ohio into that mix. I’m willing at this point to blame her for using global models corrupted with information out of Italy, Spain and New York to set policy for Ohio. Her choice to make decisions off bad data makes her guilty of all the misery she has caused in Ohio. The death toll in Ohio could be said to be the same regardless of coronavirus. Death of any kind is bad, and it looks nasty to the front-line workers and people who handle the body bags. Its not good under any condition. But to associate Covid-19 with an emphasis on a daily death count scoreboard is meant to make people just look at this virus and to sell them on behavior change as justified by an inaccurate measure. When the measure is deliberately, or accidently inaccurate and we are making decisions off it, then someone must pay for the results. And when we find out that all these death counts were propped up to advance lifestyle changes in western cultures it was terrorism that was being applied and that is a criminal enterprise that must be punished. No matter who it is perpetrating it. We need to view them not as heroes of science, but of terrorists representing climate change and seeking socialism around the world by convincing people to give up their rights for some made up greater good. And that is what we are dealing with, not well-intentioned scientists, but outright terrorists who have simply changed tactics and are presenting us with a new problem, those who seek to take advantage of our trust in order to advance political objectives.

Too Many “Orders” from Little Man DeWine: America has had enough–the government has let them down

When we talk about the reason’s Mike DeWine should be impeached for how he behaved during the made-up Covid-19 virus outbreak it is because of Tweets like the one displayed here. DeWine used to be a prosecutor and attorney general before he became governor of Ohio and expects people to do what he says. I’ve seen him here and there at events in the past and thought he was a nice enough guy of decent intentions, but he’s a little guy. He’s easy to step on, lets put it that way, like a little dog yapping at your feet when you visit a friend’s house who has such little dogs. You sort of pet his head, give him a piece of table scrap and send him on his way. But when such a little yapping dog becomes governor, and suddenly there are emergency powers in the hands of that little creature, now there’s a problem. Little people, or people who have an insecurity complex because all they have done with their lives is public service, always living off the state for their sustenance, are dangerous with too much power because they are trying to compensate for all kinds of psychological issues, and sure enough, since the Covid-19 crises was given an excuse by the Trump administration to abuse executive power all in the name of safety Mike DeWine became the leader of a governor’s movement to outdo each other by going way too far on the whole “social distancing” concept introduced by the CDC, which was given to them by the Bill Gates and communist loyalists, the World Health Organization.

Each day through the economic shutdown essentially started by DeWine in March the governor has progressively gotten worse and more authoritarian in his “orders.” The guy clearly doesn’t understand Americans outside of a prosecution office. American’s don’t follow orders. They may do so to stay out of jail or get away from authority, but it is not in their nature to wake up in the morning looking for someone to give them orders on how to live. So at every chance, they will rebel, especially if they don’t have trust in the people giving orders. Natural compliance is not a state Americans will stay in for a long period of time. They may be open to the idea in a natural emergency which is why I say that the Covid-19 case is fake. The virus may be real but the impact of it has been greatly overblown as a government power grab. Its global in nature and is in rebellion against a Trump administration that has been trying to put America first. People were compliant when they thought they were going to die, but so far, the math of the whole coronavirus has not revealed any real danger. The news had tried to make it so, but the reality hasn’t matched, and it won’t. DeWine has abused that nature of fear of this virus to satisfy his own ego, his little man complex that he keeps hidden from even his best friends, but was always there with him in his quests for power in politics over the years, especially as an attorney general.

To accept DeWine’s rationalizations about losing constitutional freedoms for the sake of saving lives, you must believe that the coronavirus is deadly, which it isn’t by itself. Its consistent with other dangerous things and is nothing we should alter our entire society over. The math has been faulty from the beginning, the government is trying to measure cases with more testing to bolster their graphs and justify their alarmism. But they are not so eagerly publishing recovery rates or making a very big deal out of the actual mortality rate, which they have fed into their “scientific” models at over 1% when the actual per capita ratio is well under1%. As more testing will reveal, the actual mortality rate is down with most viral outbreaks. So the focus isn’t on that, its on the number of cases that test positive and each one they get they put it on the scoreboard to scare everyone into believing they are going to die to justify their massive power grabs. If people like DeWine are too stupid to see the scam because they believe they can trust these health officials, then they shouldn’t be in office to begin with. If they know and do all this anyway, then they are massively corrupt and should be removed for that. In DeWine’s case he stepped over a judge’s ruling over holding the primary election which sent a message to everyone. It’s what he says that goes and don’t look to the courts to save you on constitutional debate. I will win. His desire to do that is why I think he needs to go. We can find another Republican to replace him. A “better” Republican, not some little guy with a power complex. That doesn’t help the Republican Party grow, it just provides a distraction that must be overcome.

To make matters worse, DeWine and several other governors who have shut down their entire economies are going to have hell to pay and they are already feeling it. They are trying to milk out the deadliness of the Covid-19 outbreak with artificially high predictions hoping the hospitals will be overrun to justify all their panic. But as I reported a few days ago, there are plenty of hospital beds in Ohio to take care of the coronavirus cases, easily. And when they are pulling that egg off their faces, it will take more than sorry to make it right with all the bankruptcies and budget deficits that they will impose on their tax payers in the wake of this “pandemic,” as the Covid-19 was called by that same communist leaning WHO. And no, we won’t forget what happened. I won’t, I can assure everyone of that, especially Mike DeWine. His orders served his needs, not the actual safety of the public. He sold it that way, and time will prove that to not be the case. So closing down the parks, the churches, Hobby Lobby and so many businesses in Ohio just to appease his ego to have his orders followed will prove to be devastating to the future of Ohio, and is yet another reason he needs to be removed from office. Its not against the law to be stupid, an ego maniac, or just gullible, but that doesn’t give anybody the right to rule over others.

And that is why no matter what Governor DeWine does, this unlimited amount of time that there is a “National Emergency” has already ran its course. People are tired of being ordered around and they can see for themselves that this silly virus isn’t as deadly as the government wanted it to be. Sure, it has accelerated patients to death who had other issues, but the government has tried to paint every little sniffle on a deadly, exotic virus from China and they attempted to rule people’s minds with fear. And people used to freedom can only be pushed so far before they start giving you the finger. And that’s where we find ourselves going into the first week of April. People are sick of Governor DeWine’s “orders.” They have gone on too long with no end in sight, and that has made people angry. And that is dangerous not for people, but for the governments who have abused their power. A day of Hell for them is coming, and there won’t be any sympathetic ears to listen. Someone is going to have to pay for all this and it won’t be the people who were abused.

The worst thing of all during the virus outbreak has been how weak and reactive our governors and even President Trump has been to provide an end date. I have heard all the theories that this whole operation is a real war against the Deep State, to get everyone safe in their homes. That this effort was to allow “Q” to happen. Honestly, I think it’s just stupidity and gullibility at play and its been bad for people to see their elected representatives fail to provide leadership under pressure and to let doctors run the world. Leadership often requires bold decision making, not the kind of people who are so risk-averse that they wear helmets out to get their mail. Its one thing to listen to their advice, its quite another to have them run our lives, because most Americans are just a little reckless by nature, and its essential into what makes us, us. We don’t want to change that.

We Should Have Never Shut Down The Economy: Hiding in our homes, and behind body bags defeats the nature of being an American

I have the privilege of living a good life, not because anybody gave it to me, but because I have chosen to live it by overcoming massive amounts of opposition to seize it, and as a result I know legislators, associate occasionally with judges, supreme court judges, Lt. Governors—people of all types who run the world legally. I love to read and personally adore the constitution of my state of Ohio. It is much more freedom loving of individual sanctity than even the federal Constitution and think it is a tremendous advancement in human thought. I have a copy of the Ohio Constitution next to my reading chair that I reflect upon most weeks of the year at least once, and I rely on it for all the forward thinking considerations that we must make in our times to advance those ideas of personal freedom and a life dedicated to independence from being compelled to just be sheep in the world.

And it is within that framework that some of Ohio’s laws regarding gun ownership, such as a duty to retreat are so despicable, because they go against the spirit of what we set out to do in Ohio, and that is to create a government that served individual necessity, and the private property that a good life might produce when actively pursued. If you take any CCW class in Ohio you will learn that the castle doctrine does not give you the right to just shoot anybody who enters your home. You have a duty to retreat, and to preserve your life and to let whoever is breaking into your home to have your “stuff” at their pleasure. And it is that same kind of ridiculous assumption that is at the heart of this entire Covid-19 crises, which serves government for government’s needs and ignores completely any notion of individual liberty and a life pursued for those lofty goals.

I understand President Trump’s dilemma. I’ve met Donald Trump a few times and I like him as a business leader. I’ve been very enthusiastic about supporting him as a president. But I am not so star struck to be blind to when he’s wrong, and he is with his reaction to Covid-19. Sure, he knows he’s going to be blamed for an absolutely stunning collapse of the American economy—bewildering really. True wartime bombardment on a scale of when the Nazis bombed London during the blitz. The damage to America from this coronavirus outbreak will be in the many trillions. Its so big that many people just can’t get their minds around it, so when the question arises if 100,000 to 500,000 deaths are acceptable, I would say of course they are. It is more important to live for something—like preserving our American economy—than in hiding in our homes waiting for mother government to protect us. Of course, Trump is the government now and he has allowed their panic driven doctors to run his administration, and if he doesn’t let them, they’ll put every death suffered under Covid-19 on him and ruin his chances for re-election. I’m sure Trump figures that if only he could lead the effort to a satisfying conclusion, measured in lives saved, then he can at least control the news cycle instead of it controlling him. And that’s a good strategy for winning the next election. However, the fear of liability for how the death count has been measured regarding Covid-19 has paralyzed all logical thought and put many mayors, governors and even President Trump on their heels and over-reacting losing focus on what we are as Americans. We don’t run and hide from viruses even if people we know and love die from them. We fight to protect our way of life.

It was raining last Friday, in the middle of the day as this Covid-19 virus was reaching a level of hysteria I’ve never seen in my lifetime and I went to the Kroger Marketplace for some lunch since all the restaurants were closed. I wanted to go to P.F. Changs but of course I couldn’t go inside so I was headed to the frozen section to get a Benihana frozen meal to eat, which ended up tasting fantastic. As I entered the building people were running through the rain and hiding behind their masks hoping not to get this coronavirus from anybody covering their heads doubly terrified of acquiring pneumonia from the cold spring rain—the kind where our grandparents used to warn us against catching our death. Viral outbreaks are nothing new, and neither are the kind of deaths that are projected to occur from the Covid-19. What’s different about this one is how the media and governments have focused on it, and anytime you look at something so closely its ugly. I don’t trust any of the measurements the government has been providing, including the number of deaths. The government is highly motivated to show President Trump every death and to personalize it to control his thoughts. The same with Mike DeWine who lost people early in this media swarm that inspired them to step over Constitutional boundaries to enact foreign interests as a policy, let’s just be nice and say that for now. My personal philosophy is always to live a little dangerously. Actually, I choose to live a lot dangerously which is why I know some of the people I mentioned at the beginning of this article, but I am not one. I love danger. I love fighting. And I’m not afraid of a little rain, or a virus. If my body gets attacked, I expect it to defeat the perpetrator, and I live my life that way in everything I do. So I walked across the parking lot of Kroger dripping with water, soaked to the bone walking calmly at a pace I set, not that the weather mandates, and I bought my Benihana lunch, and enjoyed it.

So, it’s completely against my nature to have a government tell me to hide in my home while the “experts” fight this virus. And I’m certainly not going to trust what they tell me, even President Trump. At some point I will pick to pieces the way the government did its math on the Covid-19 virus to inspire such a panic which I view as an attack on my country and I’m ready for a fight over it. Compliance is not an option. Being a wimp is not an option. Safety is a consideration, not an expected way of living and trusting government is just a stupid idea no matter who is running it. When the rubber hits the road, our lives and the things we do with them, the products of our existence has value. Our economy has value, more than most are willing to admit and we do not have an obligation to retreat at the sign of a virus just as we should never just let a robber steal our possessions in our home without shooting and killing them. We do not have a duty by any Constitution to retreat from a threat, and the same holds true with the coronavirus.

People keep asking me how long this will go on, this stay at home order set by government so that it can deal with this crises the way all inefficient governments do, slow and cowardly, like those people I mentioned running through the rain with their masks and jackets perched up over their heads to save them from potential “death.” The states of our country are not bringing in money. Eventually, very soon, within weeks, the pain of that lack of revenue is going to crush them. Surely they are counting on President Trump to declare a state of emergency and bail them out of the debts, many which they had before this coronavirus ever hit. But there won’t be money for government employees because there just hasn’t been any sales tax, which is the most irresponsible aspect of this whole shutdown over viral concerns. Many more lives are being ruined because of the destroyed economy than by anything this Covid-19 virus will produce. The lawsuits that will happen after this is over will be monstrous, detrimental to a court system that won’t even be able to pay employees to staff the courts. This is a tragedy on a scale beyond comprehension and is far more damaging than even the high number that Doctor Doom predicted of millions of deaths. When all this is over, there will be a lot of asses to kick and that is where I’m at. Giving up our freedoms is not worth saving a few lives. Our economy, the possessions of our intellect we do not have a duty to retreat from. Just as the duty to retreat is wrong in Ohio regarding the castle doctrine, it is just as wrong to stay in our houses to allow the government to save face for its lack of preparedness to deal with this World Health Organization pandemic as they called it, and panicked the world into communist action. No matter how many body bags they stack up on television for us to see, there is an ass kicking coming, and it was they who started it. We can fight in the streets, we can fight in the courts, but that fight will happen, and the outcome will not be the one that Bill Gates and the losers at Google calculated in their modeling before all this started.
