Where We Have Been
I will never forget 2020 and you should not either. The deep state stripped us of our right to travel, gather in venues, and ability to visit family. My friends who cut hair had to close their barbershop for an indefinite time and almost lost their business. My wife lost her job at the school and my kids stayed in constant school limbo. Essential package stores and big-box retailers seemed to be the only open businesses in town. At first, people tried to ride it out, “two weeks to slow the spread” and all, but that turned into two years.
This is not a slight to Texas, but people who were not living there seem to think Texas was immune to Covid tyranny. Not true, it was just as bad in Texas, and pretty much everywhere… except Florida. To this day, the mandates, lockdowns, and what ensued in Texas are why I dislike Gov. Abbott.
Texas used TDEM through DHS to decide what businesses were essential and implemented emergency powers to supersede citizens’ rights. As part of his executive orders, Abbott created steep fines, added confinement, and held on to emergency powers for almost a year. Cosmetology, pharmacy, and medical boards were weaponized against those they licensed. Code enforcement, health inspectors, and fire inspectors were all used against the people during the pandemic. In my former hometown of Burleson, fire marshals counted how many people could be in Lowes based on the Covid 25% occupancy requirement. Not to be outdone, Sen. John Cornyn stated that Texas businesses not following Covid protocols could be liable for up to 5 years.
How would you prove that in court? Two Dallas attorneys told me that would be impossible to pursue.
Big Daddy Zane’s is SWAT-ted
Let’s talk about three of the worst incidents and Covid tyranny in Texas.
On May 5, 2020, an armed protest group called Open Texas was responding to business owners threatened by mandates. The protesters informed Sherriff Mike Griffis in advance they were going to be at Big Daddy Zane’s Bar in Odessa. The group was at an adjoining property and not violating TABC rules. The Sheriff deployed an armed SWAT vehicle and arrested them without incident. This was his incompetent comment on the matter:
“I understand their side of it,” Griffis said. “Defying the governor’s orders is one thing, but when you bring a bunch of armed vigilantes in from other parts of the state for a show of force, I just got a problem with that.”
So how is it illegal to be armed or not from not Odessa? Where is the vigilantism?
Here is the video:
The Great Laredo Beautician Sting
On April 15, 2020, Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia a nail tech, and Brenda Stephany Mata an eyelash tech were arrested by Laredo PD for offering services at their homes. On a tip from a “Covid Karen,” Laredo PD used social media to entrap the two women just for working. State officials pearl-clutched and revealed that these women were not licensed to cut fingernails and curl eyelashes.
Really?
The Unsinkable Shelley Luther
On May 5, 2020, Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther was ordered to pay a $7000 fine and spend seven days in jail for repeatedly defying Abbott’s mandates. The Texas Supreme Court issued an order for her immediate release on May 7, 2020. Abbott instantly amended his executive order to eliminate confinement. The national media began torching Luther who raised $500K through patriotic Go Fund Me donations. She offered employment and scholarships to the two Laredo beauticians who had been arrested for Covid crimes. Since that time, Luther has run for state office three times and has lost in a few close races. For me, Shelley Luther was the ultimate red pill and changed my entire involvement in politics.
Here is the video (wait till the end):
The Danger Zone
In this article, I wanted to remind you of the tyranny we have experienced because we may be headed back into the danger zone again. The fake news media is trying to prop up this monkeypox narrative and are forecasting Covid again this fall. How convenient would it be for lockdowns, mandates, and mail-in drop boxes to reappear just in time for midterm elections?
Remember Covid was the tool used to justify the mail-in boxes and which facilitated the theft of the 2020 election. Dark money, machines, dirty poll workers, and ballot mules were the other components.
The deep state has seen how far they can push us and now Biden is calling for gun control due to recent mass shootings. The deep state does not care about our safety and wants to disarm us making their second attempt at tyranny, much easier. They know armed Americans will never tolerate more pandemic shenanigans.
While 2020 sucked, the fallout introduced me to the great awakening. I learned how corrupt every American institution has become. I studied the global deep state and read the Q posts. I figured out who to follow and where to get my news.
Don’t forget about 2020 and what was taken from you and do not let them try it again. Get active and push back on all forms of deep state tyranny. We are winning this war but we must finish the fight.
Thanks for your time. If you missed my last article, which was very popular, here is the link.
