Racism is real.  COVID is real.  Climate change is real.  All three, however, are being mercilessly exploited by the Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism in order to tear down the American economy, and with it, the greatest nation on Earth.  

A good starting point on Frankfurt is @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School

We can have Equal Protection under the Constitution and Liberty, or we can have "equality" with liberty for none.  The Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism is the cancer trying to destroy America with funding from China.

We found ourselves in a clearly abusive relationship with our government  officials, where by any psychological standard, gaslighting has become  the norm.  The way out is to assert healthy boundaries, before any real  dialogue can take place.

Many people say that "all these speakers  are being aggressive at the board of supervisors".  It's like, well,  guess what? Our goal and our intent is to defend civil society, to  defend the rule of law and to prevent the landslide into anarchy.

So  if we have to be aggressive in doing that if we have to be raise our  voices and scream at them every once in a while. So what? Because the  alternative, imagine the alternative that we end up in a situation where  we are in civil war, a year from now.

Because these COVID  restrictions continue as they have been. And we do end up in the  downslide and we do end up in a place where people have to take, have to  rise up against, let's say we have increasingly, you know, we continue  the downslide towards less and less and less and less freedom, more and  more government restrictions.

We may end up in a place where  civil war becomes necessary.  Do we want to look back and say that we  didn't do everything to prevent war?

When politicians violate the Constitution, they become not only criminals but domestic enemies of the Constitution.  We are completely off the map in terms of how our government functions, where we are dealing with a fundamentally unlawful government. We're dealing with a complete ignorance of the Constitution, willful ignorance of the Constitution, willful ignorance of the rule of law.

Because the way our politicians are acting right now essentially is a question of, "what can I get away with?, because I can do anything until the Supreme Court says I cannot." That is the reality of the COVID emergency powers that we are living under, where we are one step away from martial law for all intents and purposes in the way that our government has handled this.

Because everything they're doing is based in emergency powers, it is not based in normal laws, normal ways of doing things, so when you have a situation such as what we're facing right now, it is absolutely critical that all lawful and peaceful means be on the table, with whatever maximum pressure we can put on our public officials to restore our basic liberties.  As long as it's lawful and peaceful, it's completely fair game, and it is also necessary.

Begging for our rights is not going to get us our rights back.

The people are largely absent from our political process, not because we're excluded but because we don't show up.  When we don't show up, the pet causes of each politician automatically win, and we the people lose because hundreds of millions of our tax dollars are squandered away, entirely wasted and set on fire for things we'd never want to see done.

When the county board actually gets into discussing their actual agenda most people are usually gone from the meeting.  So often there ends up being one or two people in the audience.  And here we are, with all of the entire agenda being discussed, with each one of these items might be $5mil to $30mil to $50 million worth of spending, with up to twenty or more agenda items in some cases.  So what we end up with is a dynamic where they rubber stamp all this stuff with absolutely no one paying attention, no questions being asked, because there's no one in the audience.

If you look at any, at any agenda it's the same story over, and over, and over again. Twenty or more items, and they're saying $10 million to buy this house, $20 million to this agency, a pay raise to this, this agency had, you know, they make all of these decisions. Most of them having to do to with spending money, with zero questioning from the audience because there is no audience. So let me, let's backtrack on this process. What we now have is we have the staff who have written the agenda that they're voting on within this meeting to basically raise their own paychecks in some cases, right?  Like sometimes it's literally pay raises we're talking about.

The problem we're facing is not so much corruption as much as really bad  decision-making that's driven heavily by people's pet projects rather  than citizen needs.

Because what we have is we have three  distinct entities in our political process. We have the citizens, we  have our elected representatives, and then we have the people who are  hired to do the actual tasks. So the elected representatives are  supposed to oversee the staff, and kind of, by representing the will of  the people.

So the question becomes who sets the agenda for what  governments should be doing? And right now we have our elected  representatives, because there is no real oversight over them. Because  people are not showing up to the meetings, they're not really engaged in  the political process.

Our representatives who are not meant to  be leaders, they are meant to be representatives in a republican form  of government, the constitutional republic that we are, they're supposed  to be representative not leaders. And what they're doing right now is  because there is no pressure on them, they are essentially creating  their own agenda based on their own pet projects, ideologies and so on.

So,  once we've identified the problem that the issue is that who sets the  agenda, the answer becomes really simple. the people have to start  driving the agenda. And the way that we start driving the agenda is by  actually engaging our elected representatives at the meetings, by email,  by phone, and driving them towards solving the problems that we see as  the real problems in our counties, and our cities and our school  districts, rather than whatever they imagine the problems to be.

Shasta County is fundamentally a red county where the people care about their rights, creating a very different reality than other places around the country.  But what also makes Shasta County different is that the people here started actually showing out to the political process. They started holding the political officials responsible and accountable.

The people of Shasta County have a different understanding of liberty and their place, not as pawns of government, but as citizens. Not as slaves to govern, but as citizens, as taxpayers. There's a relationship, there's an understanding that the government works for us and not the other way around.

"On the eve or our struggle for independence a man who might’ve been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, president of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans,  Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question upon which rest the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.

Well I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to insure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom.

To those neighbors and allies who share our freedom, we will strengthen our historic ties and assure them of our support and firm commitment. We will match loyalty with loyalty. We will strive for mutually beneficial relations. We will not use our friendship to impose on their sovereignty, for our own sovereignty is not for sale.

As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it -- now or ever. Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so, we have the best chance of never having to use that strength...

And after all, why shouldn’t we believe that? We are Americans."
