Protests against statewide lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have been taking place over the last week, with demonstrations in nine states yesterday.
California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Washington, Tennessee, and Illinois all saw protesters gather in large numbers—many not practicing social distancing or following government guidelines intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus—demanding that their governors reopen their states.
Story continues below advertisementDespite contradicting government guidelines, President Donald Trump has called the protesters “very responsible” and has said that some governors have “gone too far” with their stay-at-home orders.
Anti-quarantine protests being organized through Facebook in California, New Jersey, and Nebraska, are being removed from the platform on the instruction of governments in those three states because it violates stay-at-home orders, Facebook spokesperson @andymstone tells @donie.

“On the instruction of State governments” – a blatant violation of our first amendment rights.
They protested in San Diego (Fox News), Phoenix, (ABC Phoenix) and Washington (KIRO) among others. Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer responded to protests by threatening more restrictions (Washington Examiner). In one Colorado county, only county residents could travel on the roads (KDVR). While polling indicates most back restrictions, another story notes of the polls none “actually measure opinions regarding whether state governments should reopen their economies starting in May. So far, there has been no recent study revealing whether or not most Americans believe that moving towards opening the economy is desirable” (Red State). Meanwhile, another study finds Hydroxychloroquine showing promise and “Over a third of physicians already prescribe or believe they should prescribe hydroxychloroquine or azithromycin for COVID-19 infections” (Life Sciences).

At the market the other day, I didn’t want to wear a mask, so I didn’t. I was ordered to by the store manager so I did. It didn’t feel very free. I talked to some of the workers afterwards about why they can’t ease up. They said they had to, they were “ordered to do it by the authorities,” It was the most chilling encounter I’ve had during all this. Good thing our authorities are good (unless they aren’t) because there is a blind and willful submission to the authorities infecting the U.S. I had, until now, only read about happening “over there.”

I had a similar experience at a local store a couple of days ago. Yes, it’s so good our authorities are doing all this because they are so concerned with our health and well being.

I can’t believe this farce has been allowed to continue for as long as it has. Y2K was going to destroy us all in twenty years ago. It didn’t do a damned thing. But that didn’t prevent the U.S. government from spending “billions” to “fix” it. One of the biggest beneficiaries of the Y2K media-enforced “panic” was Bill Gates’ Microsoft. This must stop. Free speech is awesome. Paid Propaganda disguised as a “Crisis” is something definitely less awesome. This must stop. There needs to be oversight of some kind that restricts “News” reporting that is intentionally disingenuous.

Agreed. Not only “disengenuous” but downright dangerous to a free society.

i protested in denver yesterday. other than enjoying a beautiful CO afternoon and basking in a glorious celebration of our american right to criticize the government, my primary purpose was to be a witness because i knew the democrat media would lie about or erase the event. contact me if you want to know what really happened and how large the crowd really was. i also saved a few photos. also, the denver police are to be complimented. they were everywhere, but did nothing to provoke an incident. we all did not wear masks and could care less about being near other joyful people, and they didn’t act stupidly and enforce the unlawful decrees of our filthy rich homosexual democrat governor.

It is shocking that fascist left-wing FencesBook is removing protest pages because DemonRats and their boss,, the New World Order, is against them because they want to destroy the economy.

Zucky’s own Red Sparrow, his wife Chan, must have received instructions from Beijing to shut down the protests. After all, they interfere with the Emperor Xi’s plan to collapse the US economy.

Notice how this whole coronavirus nonsense started around the same time President Trump made the new Trade Deal with China…a deal favoring the U.S. and where China needed to “save face”…and what better way to do it than to use this virus’ what appears to be accidental transmission to their advantage…just saying.

So: We do not have to stop our vehicle at STOP signs, if nobody is coming ? Right ?
