Tyranny definition: cruel and oppressive government or rule. ... unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control.
Friday was a beautiful day across California. Perfect temperatures, flowers in bloom, clear skies and, over the state capitol, a small plane flew a banner that depicted California Gov. Gavin Newsom as Hilter and a message that read “END HIS TYRANNY!”
Yours truly was on the ground at the State Capitol Friday afternoon to join a motorcade demonstration to reopen the state. It was a dozen blocks of gridlock and a symphony of honking horns. What appeared to be a sea of mostly middle-class, middle-aged Americans — mostly with children and families — were smiling at one another and waving American flags.
All in all, from my vantage point, it was more like a 4th of July block party in middle-income, middle-America community rather than a hardcore protest.
In recent weeks, fascist social media tyrants pledged to immediately remove any postings about protests. So it was merely by chance on Friday morning that I even heard about the demonstration. The tip came from someone who works for a federal agency downtown. People in his division had received an email warning staff.
But there was nothing to be weary of at this event. There were no Antifa or Bam! psychos inciting violence, or self-promoting cutout figures like self-described “dangerous faggot” Milo Yiannopoulos. There were no signs of people being bused in to demonstrate. It wasn’t a Trump rally either, though there were a some pro-Trump slogans seen, predictably.
I was on the perimeter of the park, not on the capitol steps. From what I saw, the dominating messages were anti-Newsom and pro rights, such as “impeach Newsom,” “right to work” and “reopen California.” There were also a few groups of demonstrating against forced vaccinations.
The police I saw were just hanging around on street corners observing or directing traffic. They were friendly and smiling, and people were cordial to them. I saw no confrontations, though a local news channel reports that 32 people were arrested later in the day.
Taking into account the motorcade and park protesters as well as the capitol building, I’d say there were easily thousands demonstrating in downtown Sacramento Friday. But that’s not what most of northern California’s Lugenpresse would have you believe.
Newsom’s hometown rag and mouthpiece, the San Francisco Chronicle, for example, claimed there were only hundreds of protesters at the capitol and painted it as a pro-Trump rally. There was hardly a mention of Gavin.
This drone video shows a good view right in front of the capitol building, but it doesn’t show anything outside of that one area, like the motorcades and sidewalk demonstrations that went on for blocks and blocks.
It was the Nazi Newsom posters that surprised me most. And, after listening for year to leftist bullies and libtards label pro-nationalism/anti-globalism white people as Nazis and fascists, I have to say I found the flip of the script amusing and ironic.
Newsom last week announced that that businesses across California shall remained closed until further notice, while teasing his slow-roll plan to reopen the state sometime in the future. Basically, he said people need to continue to shelter in place and work from home with a few exceptions.
Californians can now go to the dentist for their teeth whitening treatments, have non-essential surgeries like Botox injections and play a round at their country club. We can also visit state parks — except in Orange County, the Left Coast’s last Republican stronghold. Some retail might open in a couple weeks or so, but don’t plan on making any restaurant reservations. Health clubs and hair cuts are looking at July.
There are some parts of the state where no visitors are allowed period. There’s a ban on visitors in Lake Tahoe, for example. Some Californians have a second home there. If they’re caught visiting it — which people have to do seasonally for maintenance — they can be cited a $1,000 fine. The city of South Lake Tahoe is encouraging primary residents to call the cops on absentee neighbors who break the rule, and they are.
Keep in mind that California has had just a little over 50,000 COVID diagnoses out of a population of nearly 40 million. That’s 0.13 percent of the state. But California’s testing rate per 100,000 persons is quite low compared to other states. This means that at any time, Newsom can choose to goose the COVID figures by simply issuing more tests. He can also broaden the directives for labeling deaths as COVID-related moralities.
Meanwhile, while we’re all in lockdown, flights from Asia — including Wuhan, China — arrive in California every day, and have been since early March. Hawaiian Airlines, for example, has a daily flight from Wuhan to LAX. But that’s not all.
Flight trackers, such as Flightware.com, shows massive air travel in real time across the northern hemisphere while life on the ground has been brought to a standstill. Lockdowns to stop the spread? Travel bans? What a joke. This really puts the scam in scamdemic.
The protest at the capitol wasn’t the only one on Friday. Cities across the state turned out to show support for reopening California. A couple of people showed up in Huntington Beach, too. #EndtheLockdown
A Few More Words About Newsom
By the way, in case you didn’t know, Gavin Newsom, 52, is part of a California’s political dynasty that now controls California’s Democrat machine politics. I’m not going to delve into it deeply in this post. You can read more about that subject here, if you’re interested. But in brief, he’s the nephew of California congresswoman from San Francisco and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco. Former California governor and family friend Jerry Brown then named Newsom his lieutenant. And now Newsom is governor of the “nation state,” as he like to call it. But suspect he has his eyes on the White House.
Perhaps Oval Office aspirations are why he had a day-long series of online conversation with former president Bill Clinton hosted by the Clinton Global Initiative University on April 18. What the hell is the Clinton Globalist University anyway? A Manchurian candidate training camp for future California leaders? Jesus.
The “conversations” also included dyNasty democrat Andrew Cuomo and other limousine liberals. Topics ranged from the Clinton Foundation’s role in finding vaccines and COVID racism. I kid you not.
It appears that Newsom’s big concern is the welfare of illegal immigrants to his sanctuary nation state.
Newsom announced a state bailout package for these illegal residents back on April 8.
The total is $125 million dispersed as $500 per illegal migrant, and up to $1,000 per illegal migrant household. However, there are at least 2.2 million illegal residents in California, CBS News reported. This is in addition to the free health care program he put in place for illegal immigrants prior to the scamdemic. To pay for the program, he implemented the same tax penalty program that the federal government used to have for for citizens who don’t have health insurance.
And just when you thought you couldn’t roll your eyes any further back into your head, Newsom in mid April announced he created a committee whose sole job is to develop a strategy for California to recover from the scamdemic recession he planned to cause for the state.
And get this: It’s headed up by hedge fund billionaire and climate radical Tom Steyer, and it includes Bob Iger from the Walt Disney Company, CBS News reports:
Steyer said the committee will use California’s ideals of diversity, inclusion, and innovation as their core values. The governor also stressed this will not end up with a report in six months, but there will be real-time and meaningful updates that will lead to reforms and changes to get California on the road to recovery.
What does this mean? Only businesses that the panel deems diverse and inclusive will be allowed to reopen in Newsom’s nation state? Is the idea to break the back of small businesses across the state to get them to comply with draconian “reforms and changes” that fit these limousine neoliberals’ “core values”?
Once you take your blinders off, it’s demonstrably clear that the left endlessly uses patronizing veiled racism to keep their voters in their racially compartmentalized mental prisons. I mean come on, looking at newsom’s bailout for the people that shouldn’t even be there- why only $500 per person and $1000 per household? To the steadfastly dedicated cali SJW libtard, those poor people aren’t getting even half as much as the “white people”! They should be up in arms, demanding newsom give these poor “undocumented immigrants” their full measure. Please, newsom giving this money to non-citizens is nothing but classic “give them a buck in the pocket and a kick in the ass” technique to corral his voting base back into their mental ghettos. And don’t patronize me and insist those people aren’t voting. And for the record, the $1200 that the syndicate wired to the average American’s bank accounts was exactly the same tactic, using that $1200 “buck in the pocket” to pacify the average joe into accepting a 6 trillion dollar “kick in the ass” that won’t ever be paid off.
Absolutely. They tax the working poor at every turn ($1 gas tax, 8% sales tax, 10% income tax, utility taxes, etc), and then they virtue signal and give nods to globalists by giving handouts to criminals and dropouts. Once in while, they’ll choose a special group to give a break to. For example, they’re now looking at creating day care centers for overpaid union-backed nurses and medical staff and giving them a tax holiday. Of course, the number of working medical staff is declining rapidly because there’s nothing going on at the hospitals. Medical workers are the second-largest category of people to be laid off. But that’s not the sense you get from watching the MSM. You’d think every one of them is fighting in the trenches. Give me a break.
You are correct Torchy. I knew Rick Newsome and Matt Pelosi.. Rick was Bills brother and Died of Cancer…We used to do a lot of equity trades with the desk for the Ronald A Getty Trust my dad managed… Matt was a broker for these trades as well. My understanding is that Bill is in care at the Getty place. I think he suffers from dementia. But yes, your facts are confirmed
Hilariously revealing stuff on newsom’s wikipoopia page…
“Gavin Christopher Newsom was born in San Francisco, California, to Tessa Thomas (née Menzies) and William Alfred Newsom III, a state appeals court justice and attorney for Getty Oil.
His father was an advocate for otters and the family had one as a pet.[11] Newsom’s parents separated when he was two, and divorced in 1972. At age ten, Newsom moved with his mother and sister to nearby Marin County. While Newsom later reflected that he did not have an easy childhood, he attended kindergarten and first grade at the French American bilingual school in San Francisco. He eventually transferred because of severe dyslexia that still affects him. His dyslexia has made it difficult for him to write, spell, read and work with numbers.”
>My comment: LOL, that’s the governor of coolaidfornia. And there’s more:
“He later reflected on his education fondly, crediting the Jesuit approach of Santa Clara that he said has helped him become an independent thinker who questions orthodoxy. While in school, Newsom spent a semester studying abroad in Rome. Newsom’s aunt was married to Ron Pelosi, the brother-in-law of Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.”
>My comment: LOL again, his aunty pelosi must be proud, because this mental defective jesuit nephew of hers has a net worth of over 20 million! What an amazing investor! Especially considering he can hardly read, write, or do math! Lets see what they tell us about his amazing investment skills:
“On May 14, 1991, Newsom and his investors created the company PlumpJack Associates L.P. In 1992, the group started the PlumpJack Winery with the financial help of his family friend Gordon Getty. PlumpJack was the name of an opera written by Getty, who invested in 10 of Newsom’s 11 businesses. Getty told the San Francisco Chronicle that he treated Newsom like a son and invested in his first business venture because of that relationship. According to Getty, later business investments were because of “the success of the first”. The business grew to an enterprise with more than 700 employees. The PlumpJack Cafe Partners L.P. opened the PlumpJack Café, also on Fillmore Street, in 1993. Between 1993 and 2000, Newsom and his investors opened several other businesses that included the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn with a PlumpJack Café, a winery in Napa Valley (1995), the Balboa Café Bar and Grill (1995), the PlumpJack Development Fund L.P. (1996), the MatrixFillmore Bar (1998), PlumpJack Wines shop Noe Valley branch (1999), PlumpJackSport retail clothing (2000), and a second Balboa Café at Squaw Valley (2000).”
>My take: It’s pretty clear newsom is an unskilled, politically connected, old money controlled mental midget who’d be lucky to have an IQ over 95. His seemingly erudite investments were in fact bankrolled by Gordon P. Getty, the Getty oil fortune heir and family friend for over 50 years. Gayvin’s daddy William, when still a judge, actually helped change CA trust laws to benefit the Getty Trust. He then promptly retired as a judge, and administered the trust to G.P. Getty. Nearly all of Gayvin’s amazing businesses are named after an opera G.P. Getty wrote called PlumpJack, clearly showing that Gayvin is an unskilled phony who essentially is a front-man “investor” for Getty’s money. Interestingly, in perhaps an exercise of “revelation of the method”, Getty’s PlumpJack opera is based on Shakespeare’s Falstaff, a comedy whose plot revolves around the thwarted, sometimes farcical, efforts of the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, to seduce two married women to gain access to their husbands’ wealth. So falstaff was a fat, unskilled buffoon looking to benefit from other’s money. Sounds a lot like Gayvin Newscum, except the fat part. I tell you, this reality is WAY more entertaining than fiction. Have a good day, everyone
Torchy said…”…rather than a hard-core protest.”
And that is the problem. Almost two months into this fake pandemic, and the general public STILL has no idea how serious our situation is. They have their teeth sunk into us and they’re going to continue to bite down until they break us. This young fellow captures the general situation that is coming over the next few months!
Very true. I think people on Friday were just giddy to be out of their houses, frankly, like a bunch of lunatics who had just escaped an asylum.
Imagine if this was BLM, instead of middle class whites, protesting police shootings of unarmed Black people? Police and national guard would have been out in force arresting people and trampling on their Constitutional rights
There were black and Mexican protesters there, too. But they weren’t making it about race. It was about church and work.
BLM protests are hostile. There tends to be property damage and anger directed at police.
Friday, the folks I saw were super polite to police and the police were friendly in return. But these smiles and this politeness may soon turn to anger and hostility if the governor’s tyranny continues.
It’s insult to Adolf Hitler one of the greatest men ever live. Adolf Hitler save Europe from imminent Stalin invasion.
JFK admired Adolf Hitler as he wrote in his diary;
“You can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived,” Kennedy wrote in his diary in 1945.
“He had boundless ambition for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him,” he added. “He had in him the stuff of which legends are made.”
You have to understand the difference between the historic person and the western meme to appreciate the irony.
Newsom & company tyranny makes Hitler look like a piker.
“Nazi” social distancing: 2,000,000 CRAM INTO TEMPLEHOF TO HEAR HITLER
May the Lord give His people ideas to activate that protect us from & counter these devils & their enforcers who have our ‘health & safety’ in mind.
