The facts are coming out about COVID-19 and the destructive lockdown

You have not been served by our “public health” officials. Here are 10 facts that Big Pharma, Big Government, and Big Media are ignoring:

1. We don’t kill jobs and businesses each year over the seasonal flu. Currently, 4,213 Californians have died with COVID-19 listed as the “cause of death,” compared to 6,003 annual deaths from the flu. 

2. We didn’t kill a quarter of the economy over the viral epidemics of 1918, 1958, or 1969. And back then, we had more honest and caring leaders, media, and medical experts.

3. Even the COVID-19 death counts can’t be trusted, because they’re fraudulently padded. Honest doctors are blowing the whistle on this. And now, the CDC is essentially admitting they falsely scared the world, then drastically downsized death counts.

4. The crass exploitation of people’s fear by mostly Democrat politicians and their complicit Big Media is becoming more obvious. Especially since Democrat insiders are beginning to panic about a rebounding economy helping Donald Trump win reelection.

5. Conservatives are realizing they’ve been duped by the Big Media, which just cannot be trusted to deliver objective facts.

6. The lockdown model itself has become suspect, since we’ve never before destroyed jobs and businesses and livelihoods in order to “stop the virus.” It turns out this new, unproven, unmerited notion of a societal lockdown came from a 15-year-old girl’s science fair project, whose father had inroads with the George W. Bush administration.

7. Meanwhile, other nations are teaching America what it did wrong by “locking down.” With no lockdown, Sweden has fewer virus deaths than England or New Jersey. Spain, which had a lockdown, has discovered a higher infection rate among people staying home.

8. The state of Georgia, whose Republican governor was one of the first to reopen, has not turned into “a post-apocalyptic wasteland,” as the Liberal Left predicted, but is leading by example for life, normalcy, and prosperity. 

9. More people could die from the lockdown. Evidence is coming out of the Democrat state of New Jersey and the Republican state of Tennessee that “lockdown deaths” from drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and other suicides could rival or exceed coronavirus deaths.

10. People who have never been “political” are speaking out boldly against the lockdown. They include speaker/author Tony Robbins, who’s exposing what the Big Media won’t

But with the number of UK coronavirus cases dropping every day, there may not be enough people to test it on, according to the institute’s director Professor Adrian Hill. He told The Sunday Telegraph: “It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time. We said earlier in the year that there was an 80% chance of developing an effective vaccine by September. But at the moment, there’s a 50% chance that we get no result at all. We’re in the bizarre position of wanting COVID to stay, at least for a little while.”

Jeff LeTowt is California’s lockdown hero

Saturday, May 23, 2020, 5:42 pm | Randy Thomasson
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.
