An antifa militant runs past a burning police car in Los Angeles, May 30, 2020
If you’re concerned about the looting, burning, and alarming mayhem in the United States of America, you need to learn about Antifa.
America’s new domestic terrorists “Antifa” is short for anti-fascist — fascism being one-man rule, such as by World War 2 era dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Since the USA does not have a fascist form of government, antifa adherents have blurred vision from the start. Yet because they’re Marxist revolutionaries — against constitutional authority, against property-rights capitalism, and justify violence as a means to an end — it’s the antifa “troops” who are breaking windows, hurling incendiary devices, throwing rocks, and doing great harm.
President Donald Trump is correct that antifa are terrorists. Dressed in black and predominately Caucasian, antifa have “cells” all over the U.S. Taking advantage of the videoed police abuse of George Floyd in Minneapolis, antifa sprang into action on the heels of their Black Lives Matter counterparts. The violence that’s erupted is being led and primarily caused by antifa. What you are seeing is antifa’s militant Marxist platform, using brute force to attempt to simultaneously destroy government and businesses.
The sudden violence, which has included the complete destruction of a police station, and widespread looting, burning, and mayhem, has even caught liberal Democrats by surprise. As left-wing Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti exclaimed, “This is no longer a protest. This is destruction.” Because although today’s Democrat politicians and antifa share similar beliefs (they’re both godless, socialist, irresponsible, thieves, reverse racists, and historical revisionists redefining justice), Democrat politicians try to protect their government positions, which they adore, while anarchistic antifa attack all government, period.
Exacerbated by bad government and cheap-grace churches As FNC’s Tucker Carlson pointed out, we elect representatives to protect us from harm, and elected officials that fail to quickly quell violent riots have failed us. This is why politically-incorrect foreign governments are laughing at us right now. Because the first three days of violence last week went unabated as liberal leaders coddled antifa and their Black Lives Matter cohorts, apparently regarding tear gas, rubber bullets, police batons, and deploying the national guard as too much. Yes, now arrests are happening, but will everyone whose property was destroyed be reimbursed by their negligent, mostly Democrat-run cities?
And not only did bad government contribute to the destruction you’re seeing, bad government influenced and invited antifa in the first place. Consider this: Why is antifa largely atheistic? Thirteen years of “God is dead” evolution indoctrination in the government-controlled schools. Why is antifa blaming outwardly instead of being humbly introspective? Bad government’s decades of rewarding irresponsibility, and not supporting Christian values, or life-long marriage, or even appropriate discipline of children. Why is antifa violent? Because gratuitous violence is celebrating in the media (liberal government no longer effectively prohibits “harmful matter”), and so many criminals are not being prosecuted, punished, or even serving out their full sentences.
Ultimately, the Church shares responsibility for the rise of antifa. For if righteous voting were a priority, we would have good, not bad, government. If religious liberty were valued, congregants would be taught the Christian precepts of our U.S. founding fathers. If the fear of God, specific sins, and hell were revealed like the Bible teaches, people would think twice before committing obvious sins. If Biblical justice for individuals based on personal merit were taught, a true view of evidence, fairness, and individual responsibility would thrive.
What’s more, if the Church taught holy discipleship, selfishness would be replaced by love for neighbor. If identity in Christ were taught, there would fewer racists and even fewer who falsely accuse others of racism. If family values were emphasized with accountability, personal responsibility and love for others would become a habit. And if sacrificial love and shepherding of children were taught like the Bible teaches, there would be a lot less youngsters in the atheism-teaching, irresponsibility-promoting, immorality-producing government schools.
Where did antifa comes from? They were bred close to home. The sooner we come to grips with this, the sooner we’ll embrace the Truth that can set us free.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God… 2 Timothy 3:1-4
Carmel, California restaurant owner Jeff LeTowt is being heavily oppressed for his God-given rights by the Liberal Left establishment in Monterey County, which is ignoring the Constitution and the statutes.
Rosa Parks. Tiananmen Square. Christian martyrs. They stood up for what was right in God’s sight against evil tyrants. And standing up for all of us right now is Jeff LeTowt.
As owner of the Tuck Box restaurant in Carmel, California, LeTowt initially submitted to the lockdown orders of Gavin Newsom and Monterey County. Closing up for a month-and-a-half lost him $60,000. Facing reality, he reopened May 3, and his patrons happily returned.
Yet since then, LeTowt has been oppressed by his county’s district attorney and public health officer.
On May 13, he was cited for a) allowing customers to dine-in, b) not spacing customers six feet apart, and c) not wearing face coverings when serving patrons. These three misdemeanor charges threatened LeTowt with $3,000 in fines and 18 months in jail.
On May 15, two officers of the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control department came to the restaurant to tell LeTowt he could lose his liquor license if he stays open.
Resolved to stay open for the sake of his livelihood and financial future, and to defend his God-given and constitutional rights, LeTowt signed on with attorney Harmeet Dhillon of the Center for American Liberty, who is now representing him.
Incensed, Jeannine Pacioni, the county’s Democrat district attorney, whose own website claims she will “promote justice” and “ensure that the rights of victims are upheld by treating them with dignity, respect and compassion,” increased her legal attacks.
On May 21, the D.A. got an unconstitutional local judge to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent any further “violations” by LeTowt and the Tuck Box. She’s also suing LeTowt, seeking an injunction on the grounds of “unfair competition” and “unfair business advantage,” claiming LeTowt “unfairly profit[ed]” while other restaurants remained closed.
Not only is this lawsuit communistic in trying to force equal conditions, it’s unconstitutional. Because in both state and federal law, “unfair competition” means fraudulent, false, or misrepresented trade or commerce that harms other businesses or harms consumers.
Is Jeff LeTowt and his restaurant harming customers? No, local residents enjoy dining there, and many customers consider his restaurant “essential.” Harming other businesses? No, LeTowt isn’t causing closed restaurants to lose money — the ruling Democrat politicians are. Is LeTowt engaging in fraud? No, he’s honestly open and not gouging his customers either. Therefore, the county’s lawsuit against him, which “makes up the law,” must fail.
Likewise, the three citations against LeTowt must be dropped. The state and federal constitutions both require due process and compensation before government can take property from private owners. But the ruling Democrats in Monterey County forgot about that, didn’t they?
In the midst of this lockdown madness, Jeff LeTowt is our constitutional hero. He’s a role model for resisting tyranny, upholding the written Constitution, not fearing man, and persevering under great pressure. His act of resistance will help end this lockdown sooner.

WATCH THIS APRIL 22, 2020 EVIDENCE-, LOGIC-, AND LOVE-BASED MEDIA BRIEFING BY BAKERSFIELD PHYSICIANS DR. DAN ERICKSON AND DR. ARTIN MASSIHI (LENGTH 1:06). THESE HONEST AND BRAVE DOCTORS ARE BEING SLAMMED BY THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT, WHICH DEMANDS AN INDEFINITE, UNIVERSAL LOCKDOWN FOR A VIRUS SIMILAR TO THE SEASONAL FLU
April 27, 2020 update. The hour-long video posted on a news station’s YouTube page has been yanked. Apparently, what is considered news is now decided by YouTube and its parent company, Google. I am linking here to the April 22 news report of the same ABC affiliate in Bakersfield. This 3-minute piece by a reporter who was obviously impressed by the evidence of Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi contains some good sound bites. And I’m very glad I took notes (see below) from the doctors’ full media briefing before the anti-free-speech Tech Tyrants yanked it.
April 28, 2020 update: Good news, someone else has posted the physicians’ video on YouTube. Watch it here before it’s yanked again. And we’re happy to have also found the entire video on the website of a different TV station, and have embedded the video code at the top of this post.
You have NOT been given good facts about COVID-19 by the Big Media.
But now, new testing and fatalities data from Stanford University, USC, and the County of Los Angeles show the death rate is much lower than previously predicted and is comparable to the two seasonal flu strains. Yet the COVID-19 death rate is even lower than this latest data reports, since many hospitals are artificially inflating COVID-19 deaths.
Dr. Dan Erickson, M.D. and Dr. Artin Massihi, M.D. are former emergency room physicians. They own Accelerated Urgent Care, which has several clinics in Bakersfield. In Kern County, they are the top tester of COVID-19, conducting 5,000+ tests. Over the last two months, they’ve been intensely studying COVID-19 and those infected with the virus. And these honest, expert doctors conclude that, based on the latest data, the lockdown is not justified and should be immediately lifted.
The physicians’ April 22, 2020 briefing for Bakersfield media was posted on YouTube by KERO Channel 23.

Highlights of this medical briefing:
Of the 5000+ people they’ve tested for COVID-19 in Kern County, 6.45% were positive. Statewide on April 21, there were an estimated 12% of Californians infected, a low 0.03%death rate among those infected, with 96-97% of infected persons completely recovering.
Dr. Erickson stressed several times that with COVID-19 worldwide, he’s seeing “millions of cases; small amount of death.” (Post-briefing note: This trend is also seen in New York state, where new data reported April 23 shows a nearly 14% infection rate, which dramatically reduces the state’s COVID-19 death rate.)
Noting there are 50-60 thousand annual flu deaths in the U.S., and a flu death rate of 0.1%, Dr. Erickson said COVID-19 is “similar in prevalence and death rate to flu.” Looking worldwide at nations that “lock down” and those that don’t [such as Sweden], Dr. Erickson said, “It is not statistically significant whether you lock down or not. So why do we do it?”
What’s more, Dr. Erickson said, “Our immune systems have weakened” from the lockdown. “When I look at the basic tenets that we know of microbiology, and I say, ‘Do we need to still shelter in place?’ Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to test them, and get them back to work? Yes, we do. The secondary effects that we went over — the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue — all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.”
Dr. Erickson also said:
“We also need to put measures in place so economic shutdown like this does not happen again.”
“We want to make sure we understand that quarantining the sick is what we do, not quarantining the healthy.”
“We need to make sure that if you’re going to dance on someone’s constitutional rights, you better have a good reason. You better have a really good scientific reason, and not just theory.”
“The data is showing us it’s time to lift the lockdown.”
Dr. Erickson revealed that most physicians and health officials in California that he’s talked to agree with these facts, but that they’re all waiting for Governor Gavin Newsom to agree.
Dr. Erickson continued, saying:
“Coronavirus has shown to be very contagious…but the actual cause of death and the disease cycle is similar to what we’re seeing from the flu, with more of a respiratory component.”
“Eventually we treat this like we treat flu, which is, if you have the flu and you’re feeling fevery and body aches, you stay home. If you have coughing or shortness of breath — Covid is more of a respiratory thing — you stay home … This virus is the same [similar to recovering from the flu]. You have Covid, go home; let it resolve, and come back.”
“From what we’ve seen right now, it’s time to open back up. The science says it is. The models we have been using from predictions to predict the amount of disease are not accurate. This information [pointing to the latest testing evidence] is accurate. It models the flu. Let’s go back to work. That’s what the data is saying — not models. Data is saying that.”
“Big businesses are open, little businesses are not, there’s no science behind that.”
Also speaking was Dr. Artin Massihi, who said social distancing was needed initially, “but now that we have the data, we’re seeing that 96, 97 percent of patients completely recover. And those 4 percent of patients that died have over 90% comorbidities … heart failure, emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, they’re on immunomodulating medications, they’re immunodeficient, HIV — these are the people that are dying. You get some healthy people who die, but that’s an infinitesimal number — tiny.”
Near the media briefing’s conclusion, Dr. Erickson warned about unscientific public policies. “At what point, who says what’s safe?” he said. “Are you smart enough to know what’s safe for you, or is the government going to tell you what’s safe for you? As soon as they use the word ‘safe,’ that means control: ‘We know what’s safe for you … you’re too dumb to understand disease … you see, we know what’s safe.'”
Finally, Dr. Erickson advised people to not accept government-imposed lockdowns. “They’re going to use this model for different things. We get a bomb threat from China; everybody stay in their homes for 3 months — what? They are using this to see how much freedom can they take from you, and will you roll over and stay in your house — and it’s working.”
We are beginning to see figures on the extent of the epidemic and the faulty figures fed us by all government agencies and the conventional controlled media. From CNBC comes revelations that many, many more people in LA County have been exposed to, and have immunity to COVID than heretofore believed, 55 times in fact. This would drop the mortality rate by 50-fold and suggest that we have way, way overreacted to the outbreak. If these numbers are true, and other reports I’ve posted here suggest the same, the SARS COVID-2 virus literally tore through the population incredibly fast. Even with a quite low mortality rate, the lightning speed hit us fast and gave the ILLUSION of a terrifying horror about to befall us. But with this lightning speed, it strongly suggests that the worst is behind us and that officials overplayed their hand. Dr. Robert Rowen, M.D. in Santa Rosa, California
