July 4th: Independence Day. The official celebration of the Declaration of Independence when the Continental Congress declared the 13 American colonies were no longer taking orders from Britain’s King George III.
Our “Celebration of Independence” this past weekend, however, took place with the majority of Americans accepting orders of governors and mayors who flaunt the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Cities and states that were recently reopened forced many businesses to shut down again, imposed fines on those not wearing masks in public, and urged citizens not to celebrate Independence Day.
“From sea to shining sea” across America, political leaders decreed new shutdown orders for the 4th of July weekend. Miami and Los Angeles closed all beaches.
New York City showed its “Big Apple” brand by ordering a ban on “unannounced displays” of fireworks to keep people from gathering in large numbers.
From Anchorage to Boston. traditional Independence Day parades were cancelled.
Return to Lockdown
The Oregon Health Authority warned: “The safest choice this holiday is to celebrate at home.”
Last Thursday, a Wall Street Journal headline blared: “COVID-19 Success Story Unravels in California,” stating, “Just weeks after it began to ease lockdown restrictions new cases of COVID-19 are exploding.”
“Exploding”?
Again the WSJ, following the mainstream media, ignores hard facts:
- The increase in virus cases is directly tied to expanded testing.
- The death rate from the coronavirus is actually decreasing.
- Of California’s 40 million citizens, to date, a total of 6,338 people died from the virus or 0.015 percent of its population.
Last Wednesday, in response to the rising cases (not deaths), Governor Gavin Newsome ordered the re-locking down of bars and restaurants, movie theaters, zoos, and museums.
In New York City, where 36 percent of city restaurants and bars did not pay their June rent and over 90 percent paid only half the rent or less, according to the not-for-profit association NYC Hospitality Alliance, Mayor Bill De Blasio canceled an order to allow indoor restaurant dining because virus cases were going up.
Again, cases are going up because more people are choosing to get tested or employers are requiring them to get tested.
According to the NYC Health Department, the death rate has rapidly dropped.
Yet, despite the death rate dropping, draconian lockdown rules persist in New York City. On the 4th of July, in a city of 8.4 million people, some 29 reportedly died of the virus.
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott said last week, “If I could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars, now seeing in the aftermath of how quickly the coronavirus spread in the bar setting.”
Ordering the closing down of bars and outdoor gatherings of over ten, Abbott stated that the recent surge in new cases “reveal a very stark reality,” while ignoring the fact that Texas, with a population of 30 million people, has reported some 2,648 deaths.
On the Fourth of July, Texas registered zero coronavirus deaths.
In Florida, the overlord of Miami-Dade County, Mayor Carlos Gimenez, issued a curfew order beginning last Friday evening, which was to last from 10 PM through sunrise.
Yesterday, Gimenez declared that starting Wednesday, he will force closures of restaurant dining rooms, gyms and fitness centers, ballrooms, and short-term vacation rentals.
To date, some 1,043 people in Miami-Dade County, with a population of 2,745,000 or 0.04 percent, died of the virus in the past four months. This is a fact completely ignored by the fear mongering Presstitutes.
Absent in the coverage are the facts of who is dying from the virus. Are they elderly in nursing homes? Are they suffering from obesity or pre-existing chronic diseases?
Again, overall, the fact that 99.96 percent of the population have not died from the virus is absent in the mainstream news.
That millions of people are suffering emotionally and financially from the unprecedented economic shutdown and tens of thousands of businesses are being destroyed is rarely discussed.
Unabated, Fear and Hysteria continue to grip the nation.
Arizona’s governor closed down bars, movie theaters, gyms, and water parks on 29 June after state health officials voiced concern over 3,858 new cases of the virus reported the day before. So far, in a state with 7.3 million people, 1,588 have died or 0.002 percent.
No Freedom Ringing
Dictating to the masses they should not “Let Freedom Ring,” the oxymoronic New York Times headline blared:
“For the Fourth of July, Officials Say Celebrate Freedom by Staying Home.”
The article went on to state, “As the nation staggers toward a holiday weekend during the coronavirus pandemic, health officials are pleading with residents to not make a bad situation worse.”
Make what “bad situation worse”? The Times, as does the U.S. mainstream media selling COVID Hysteria, has trumpeted, “The United States set a single-day case record for the sixth time in nine days, reaching 53,000 new coronavirus cases.”
This fear refrain, which has been headline news for nearly two weeks, continually ignores four basic facts:
- 1. A primary reason case rates are increasing is because millions more are being tested.
- They report the number of cases but not the number who died from the disease that day.
- The Presstitutes do not report on the recovery rate, which is an estimated 99.32 percent.
- The coronavirus death rate is going down.
TRENDPOST: Unwilling and/or unable to Think for Themselves, a sound-bite swallowing, anxiety-ridden society, living in fear and ignorant of the hard facts and scientific data, believe what they are being told.
Last week, we witnessed it firsthand. Gerald Celente was viciously attacked in social media by scores of subservient peasants of King Cuomo for having the audacity to hold a 4th of July “Unite for Peace and Restore Freedom” rally in colonial Kingston, NY, where the seeds of democracy were sown, in “violation of the Governor’s orders.”
Indeed, we invited Kingston-based organizations active in the Black Lives Matter and peace movements to speak at the event.
The groups, selling themselves as “non-partisan organizations,” declined our invitation because Judge Andrew Napolitano (Fox News) was among the speakers and Gerald Celente calls out Cuomo, whom they worship.
The Rally was a resounding success. From toddlers to grandparents, the crowd celebrated a beautiful day of Freedom.
This is how it was reported in the area newspaper: Record Online
TRENDPOST: On the Fourth of July 2020, America’s vocal minority downplay and/or denounce what the Founding Fathers risked their lives for: “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Two hundred forty-four years after the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, while not under the military rule of British monarchy, as evidenced by obediently marching off to fight the politicians’ COVID War, the vast majority bow down to their political kings and queens.
