Key Takeaways:
· The “No Kings” protestors accused President Trump of being an authoritarian dictator.
· The same protestors cheered 5 years ago when President Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci and others gave dictatorial orders during the COVID pandemic.
· It’s not authoritarianism they hate – it’s having a conservative who believes in deregulation and pro free enterprise policies in the White House that they hate.
· None of the far-Left political groups that organized the No Kings events protested when public health “experts” truth became authoritarian when they mandated face coverings, school, church and business closures, and six-foot separation in public places.
· Nor did they protest when President Biden issued a nationwide COVID vaccine mandate.
· Many of thousands of school children, church goers, businesses and more became victims of these true authoritarian mandates.
· Many thousands of lives could have been saved early in the pandemic if doctors could have been able to prescribe hydroxychloroquine and other medications without fear of being fired and losing their medical licenses.
“No Kings” is supposed to be against Trump’s “authoritarianism.”
The nationwide “No Kings” marches and demonstrations are organized by Indivisible, a group mobilizing radicals.
They were not spontaneous events…
They were highly organized by mobilizing a network of far-Left political groups who strongly oppose all of President Trump’s policies – both foreign and domestic.
The organizers estimated that there were roughly 2,700 separate demonstrations in October – and that between 5 and 7 million people participated.
Supposedly, the message of these demonstrations was:
· President Trump acts like he thinks he’s a king.
· We reject his “authoritarian, dictatorial policies.”
· We reject tyranny.
They all have either a very short memory or a very selective idea of what constitutes tyranny – or both.
During the COVID pandemic between 2020 and 2022, several individuals and government agencies acted like kings – and we didn’t see any “No Kings” protests then.
Where was Indivisible then?
Where was the ACLU – the American Civil Liberties Union?
Where was MoveOn, Public Citizen, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and Communications Workers of America (CWA)?
There were supporting Authoritarian “Kings” such as:
· NIH Director Andrew Fauci
· California Governor Gavin Newsom
· Pfizer and Moderna
· The medical establishment
· And others
They used fear tactics and unconstitutional laws to convince us to obey, then authoritarian rules.
Here are 4 examples of how we were ruled by “kings” during the pandemic:
1. Face mask and social distancing mandates.
We were forced to wear face masks and keep 6 feet away from each other in public places – even though no testing was ever done to establish whether or not such rules were effective in preventing the transmission of the virus.
Schools were forced to close – even though children were the least likely to catch COVID-19.
Churches were forced to close.
Restaurants and other “non-essential” businesses were forced to close.
We were essentially quarantined inside our homes for about two months.
People in California were arrested for going to the beach during the quarantine – even though the beaches were deserted!
“King” Andrew Fauci made the rules – and state and local authorities complied with draconian enforcement.
2. Special Thanksgiving Day rules in California in 2020 – for everyone except Gavin Newsom.
On November 22, 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health issued “new safety guidelines for all private gatherings.”[1]
Not public gatherings. Private gatherings!
The rules were stunning in their detail and scope:
· No more than three households could gather.
· Every gathering had to be outdoors.
· Gatherings had to end within two hours.
· Guests could enter the host house only to use the restroom.
· Masks had to remain on except when taking a bite of food or a sip of drink.
· Guests had to remain six feet apart from anyone outside their household – even during the meal.
· Singing, shouting, and chanting were “strongly discouraged.”[2]
· If a gathering insisted on singing, shouting or chanting, they had to keep their voices at a normal speaking volume and wear a face covering.
No one accused Gov. Newsom of being a dictator or an authoritarian monarch – or of treating Californians as his subjects.
Although Gov. Newsom’s Thanksgiving Day lifestyle controls for private gatherings were the most draconian rules in the nation, most states issued restrictions on the size of public gatherings during the pandemic.
Only11 states did not issue state-wide rules regarding public gatherings.
3. COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
President Biden issued an executive order in 2021 mandating that all civilian employees of federal executive branch agencies take the COVID-19 vaccine series.
Over 1,000 major employers also mandated that some or all of their employees be vaccinated.
A vaccine registration card was required to be hired in many occupations.
The White House estimates the vaccine mandates affected 100million workers total.
Many in the civilian workforce of the federal government, the military, the commercial airlines, and other major corporations who refused the vaccine lost their jobs.
Initially, the FDA granted emergency use authorization for the Pfizer and the Moderna mRNA vaccines for people 16 years of age and older.
Eventually, the FDA approved the mRNA vaccines for all ages – even for children under 5 years of age.
In a Pfizer clinical trial of its mRNA COVID vaccine for young children, a significant number developed serious fevers after receiving a medium-sized dose of the immune-altering vaccine.[3]
And in a 2021Moderna clinical trial, a young child died from cardiac arrest after receiving the COVID vaccine.[4]
Children who died are now being exposed.
4. Prohibition of alternative COVID-19 treatments.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fauci/CDC/WHO-controlled narrative was that only a vaccine was effective in treating or preventing infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Any doctor who suggested an alternate treatment or preventative protocol was accused of spreading misinformation and endangering lives.
The truth, however, is contrary to the dogmatic narrative.
The Virology Journal – the official publication of the National Institutes of Health – published an article on August 22, 2005, titled “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.”[5]
The researchers concluded:
“We report… that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage”[6]
So Dr. Fauci had known for 15 years that chloroquine – and its milder derivative, hydroxychloroquine – were effective treatments for the virus that causes COVID-19.
Hydroxychloroquine, along with zinc and Vitamin C – which had been proven to cause recovery from the virus by the doctors who had given these remedies to their COVID patients – could have prevented thousands of COVID deaths.
Yet Dr. Fauci withheld all of this life-saving information in favor of promoting an experimental gene-altering injection with untested and unknown long-term side effects.
Bottom line:
As of November 28th, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has received 19,476 death reports related to COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S.[7]
John Leake and Dr. Peter A. McCullough report that approximately 1,134 of those deaths occurred on the day of vaccination, and 1,266 on the day after vaccination.[8]
It has been estimated that only about 1%of vaccine adverse events are reported to VAERS.
When an individual “expert” or a government agency pushes a particular narrative – and labels every contrary narrative “misinformation” without ever giving any scientific evidence or rational argument – it would be a good idea to ask yourself if there is a vested interest or underlying motive behind the one pushing the narrative without supporting evidence.

FAQs:
Q: Why do progressive and far-Left political groups call President Trump a dictator, but they didn’t call President Biden a dictator when he issued a nationwide COVID vaccine mandate?
A: It’s because the Left has a deep-seated hatred for Donald Trump and for everything he stands for. They have a totally different agenda for our culture and for our country.
Q. Why were alternative treatments and preventative medications for COVID-19 – such as hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zinc, D3, Vitamin C and other alternatives rejected so strongly by the medical establishment?
A. The medical establishment wanted everyone to think of the mRNA vaccines as their only savior from death. They wanted no competition from conventional drug treatments.
Q. Wouldn’t requiring everyone to be vaccinated for COVID-19 result in “herd immunity”?
A. That was the theory pushed by Dr. Fauci and the medical establishment. But the reality is that the COVID “vaccine” damages the natural immune system by injecting the genetic code to instruct the body to create a foreign, toxic spike protein. The majority of new COVID cases since the rollout of the vaccines have occurred in vaccinated people.
