Disobedience, But Maybe Not So Civil
BY Herschel Smith

Via David Codrea, this report from Virginia Luciferian Ralph Northam.
The so-called Virginia Values Act (S.B. 868), which Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) signed on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday) in the middle of a pandemic, compels churches, religious schools, and Christian ministries to hire employees who do not share their stated beliefs on marriage, sexuality, and gender identity. A companion law (H.B. 1429) requires ministries and others like them to pay for transgender surgery in employee health care plans, a procedure that violates these ministries’ convictions.
So there is a way to deal with this. Oddly and ironically enough, but related to a different subject, the people from California show the way.
Pontes is now the county executive officer of Shasta County in Northern California and goes to work in thin socks, but another crisis has found him. “You cannot get closer to total disobedience of any kind of law,” he said, referring to the local response to Covid-19 strictures. “What’s happening up here is full-on anarchy.” Then he listed for me a few of the things that had happened recently: The county sheriff had announced that he wouldn’t enforce the state’s pandemic restrictions on social gatherings and businesses. People who had never before attended county board meetings were accusing local officials of treason. The county’s health officer, who had the unhappy job of imposing the state’s Covid rules on the citizens of Shasta County, was now receiving so many threats that Pontes had brought in a new threat-assessment team; he’d also ordered the bushes cut back away from her house, installed a security system and floodlights, and ordered police patrols of her neighborhood. “She still doesn’t feel safe out there,” he said. “At all.”
In just the past few months, a bunch of county health officers across California have been run from office. But what was happening in Shasta County felt to Pontes like a new stage of the crisis in governance. He thought it was “80-20” in favor that, at any moment, a citizen army would form, invade the public buildings, and perform citizens’ arrests of the five members of the county’s Board of Supervisors and any other government officials they could get their hands on. “Before Covid I felt I could talk my way out of just about anything,” he said. “But I had to ask the sheriff, ‘What are you going to do if they arrest us?’ He reassured me that he’s not going to take me anywhere.”
[ … ]
There was one other thing Pontes had noticed: The inconveniences caused by the state’s restrictions had attracted a new sort of person to the political process. Elissa McEuen was a case in point. She’d moved up to Shasta a few years ago from San Francisco, where she’d worked in private equity. She was a stay-at-home mom with little kids who, six months ago, couldn’t have told you where the Board of Supervisors met, much less what they did.
Now she showed up to every meeting, and spoke every time, with eloquence. Almost single-handedly she had organized a bunch of vaguely lunatic groups — the anti-vaxxers, the Second Amendment people, the chemtrail crowd — into a unified fighting force. “She’s taken it to another level,” Pontes said. “If you remove her, all of a sudden a lot of those people say, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t believe what you believe.”
Oh I don’t think so. He makes the mistake of treating this crowd the way they think of progressives, i.e., they need a leader, and if you take out a leader, the group falls apart. He doesn’t really understand yet the threat that awaits him and his ilk.
Maybe this is just one county of California, after all, but it’s still a county, and it’s still people.
Kit up, folks. There’s more of this on the way. What? You didn’t really think Covid-19 would be the end of the globalist attempt to enslave you, did you? That’s been going on for more than a hundred years, heating up to the point we are at today.
It gets dicier from here on. And maybe the good folks in Virginia need to take a page from Shasta County and engage in some not-so-civil disobedience. After all, Ralphie wants your guns and wants to kill babies.

It is fun to paint 666 on the Covid Sharia masks.
Those who were born to lick boots and only follow orders get emotional but there are coloring books and Play-Doh available down at the CPUSA HQ safespace.
Will humanity rise up and be victorious over the controllers who have penciled themselves in as overlords of the lumpen proles?
Only time will tell.

Notice we 2A people get lumped into the lunatic group. Typical. Although I think Anti-vaxxers may be on to something, in some cases.

This is such heartening news. It’s glorious that these people are having to look over their shoulders as they go about the business of screwing the commoners.

I’m not taking a vax after learning more about how they’re manufactured. Thank Dr. Judy Mikovits for detailing how the pharma industry creates them.
I’m also not against immunotherapy, in the theory. Passing a virus thru rat brains repeatedly? Pass.

@41mag –
there is no reason to take a “vaccine” for a disease with a death rate of .003
that’s (as of today) 210,874 (overstated) deaths / 73,614,550 (that’s 7,361,455 actual x 10 time estimate per the CDC) cases.
there is no reason for healthy people to take a vaccine for this. .
and if I was otherwise unhealthy I would not take this vaccine because the risk of getting a case of C19 is too great.
the pursuit of a vaccine for C19 is insane.
and my prediction is that no vaccine will ever hit the market.
good thing, except for all the taxpayer (future taxpayer) money that is being wasted on it.

Lunatic it is then,with all that it entails.

@41mag,
Like you I’m not per se an anti-vaxer. I am anti- the way they are manufactered, i.e., passing them through mice brains 25+ times to attenuate them to something that won’t kill you, picking up dozens of other retroviruses along the way.
Dr. Judy Mikovits: “Viruses never travel alone.”

It’s pretty much every county north of Sacramento and away from the coast. Including mine.

Compliments to the good people of Shasta and the other counties.
Virginians have been doing this for awhile – but a bit quieter. Gaining small tactical victories and building morale. Things are starting to get a bit louder and overt.
The Virginia .gov will not back down this winter, and things will go hot in the spring. Spring has always been a good time to start.
Virginians are ready.
Best Regards to Patriots across the country.

If our public SERVANTS live in perpetual fear, it might actually get them to do their job.

Unincorporated your Church NOW!!! Do it before the government totally destroys the 1A. You don’t have to be or have a 501(c)3 status to worship Holy God. In fact, I believe that He will greatly honor you, if you eject your false masters and follow only Him.
Warms the heart to see local “officials” living in fear.

I don’t think they will ever let that happen. We have all the water. In fact if something were ever to happen to a couple aqueducts SoCal would be in a world of hurt.

No. I think it’s one arrow in their quiver.
Pres. Trump was doing too well despite their most vicious efforts, so something had to be done to destroy the prosperity occurring under his administration. Bring on ChiCom19, slayer of economies and social order. It is a GMO bio-weapon developed in the city where the 2 highest level bio-warfare labs in the PRC are located. One of them is part of the Soros empire. I realize this falls short of “beyond reasonable doubt” but after 90 years of murder and perfidy any suspicion of Communists is justified.

Those which are labeled “anti vaxxers” are almost all pro choice vaxxers. Like me, I support ALL of the Bill of Rights and on this issue, our 4th Amendment right to be “SECURE IN OUR PERSONS”. Such invidual, peronal liberty is always despised by authoritarian leftists and others of the ruling class who want to control us.

You know you still have Liberty if wannabe tyrants, be they politicians or bureaucrats, are afraid to open the door to let the cat out.

Sanders, you’re correct. What did Thoms Jefferson say? I’m citing it from memory: “When the People fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the People, there is Liberty.”
