California Lockdown Protesters Send Loud Message to Gov. Newsom: ‘The Decision to Re-Open the State is Ours’

Flattening the curve is already behind us, so why is the state still on lockdown?

The recovery rate of the coronavirus remains at 98%. Flattening the curve is already behind us, so why is the state still on lockdown? California hospitals are not and never were, overrun with coronavirus victims, and are in fact, laying off staff throughout the country.

Listening to California Gov. Gavin Newsom one would think that most of the 40 million Californians are still at risk of dropping dead of the virus. The “data” and “science” Newsom claims is leading his decision making process has really led to Californians being deprived of Constitutional and civil rights as they are prohibited from going to work, their businesses are ordered shut down, the ordered closure of all group events regardless of size, the arrest of people in their cars in church parking lots to attend services, and the closure of state beaches, and state and regional parks.

One sector of the economy which is actually dropping dead is the business community: small, medium and large businesses are in peril, and government stimulus payments, grants and loans will only have a very temporary impact.

As one analyst said on Fox Business Wednesday, small business won’t recover any time soon “via lip service.” And that is because the government stimulus payments, grants and loans are spotty, unreliable, and are being sucked-up by big publicly-held businesses.

As one business owner in Marin told California Globe last week:

“Many business owners are having a hard time,” he said. Hien said while he and his wife have been depleting their savings to continue to pay rent, insurance and their two dozen+ employees, they applied for a SBA loan, but have heard nothing. Hien said one of their banks, Wells Fargo, “abandoned its clients.”

“We’ve got no SBA, no disaster grant, and we are U.S. citizens.” He said it was wrong of Gov. Gavin Newsom to give taxpayer money to illegal aliens when legal citizens with businesses are hurting and closing their doors. “Why is the government helping illegal aliens?”

Business owners throughout California need to re-open immediately, or the federal bankruptcy courts will be inundated with Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 filings.

California Globe reported Tuesday on the governor’s four-stage plan to reopen the state, sometime by the end of this year if you read between the lines:

Governor Newsom outlined a 4 stage plan to bring California back to normal.

Newsom confirmed that the state is currently on Stage 1, which means staying at home, flattening the coronavirus curve, building healthcare capacity, and preparing businesses and schools for reopening through new guidelines.

Stage 2 will come online in California in a few weeks, with retail, manufacturing, offices, child care, possible limited school re-openings, and public spaces being opened “to varying degrees,” such as retail being allowed only curbside pick-up and offices being allowed to reopen when teleworking isn’t available.

Movie theaters, places of worship, and sports events without fans may also not be allowed to reopen until the summer as well, as they are part of Phase 3. Any event with a large number of people, which includes concerts, sports events, and conventions, will be dependent on the immunity or vaccine requirement, of which there is currently no definite timeline to.

Stage 4 is when the lockdown stay-at-home order ends, and large events and sites will then reopen with concerts, convention centers and sporting events with live audiences once again taking place.

The California press corps has not been able to ask Gov. Newsom questions in person because he does his daily briefings remotely after ordering the media safely away; journalists must call in with questions.

Not one reporter has asked him why healthy people are being quarantined. Not one reporter has asked the governor why he is depriving citizens of constitutional and civil rights. Not one has questioned the governor about the misuse of police to enforce depriving people of their civil rights (police ought to know better). And not one has questioned the governor about his endorsement on the use of snitches to rat out anyone “violating” his orders.

Gov. Newsom did not declare Martial Law in California; however, he did impose it almost assuredly based on the use of police, snitches, lockdowns and stay at home orders, and his refusal to stand in front of media every day and answer the hard questions the way the President does.

We know by now that mostly Democrat governors have publicly stated that the coronavirus is an opportunity to push their progressive agendas, as California Globe reported Gov. Newsom admitted April 1st: “There is opportunity for reimagining a progressive era as it pertains to capitalism,” Gov. Newsom said. “So yes, absolutely we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business and how we govern.”

Gov. Newsom wants 40 million Californians to stay at home until he decides otherwise. But it may not be his decision after all if the protesters in cities around the state have anything to say about it.

Friday May 1st is the State Capitol Re-Open California  #EndTheLockdown protest where protestors will be circling the capitol in cars, trucks, and on motorcycles. “We must tell our politicians to end this nonsense!” the Facebook page says. However, the Capitol permit request was denied, despite that the permit stated that protestors would adhere to social distancing, wear face masks, and that most would be in cars or on the sidewalks surrounding the Capitol.

California Globe will be at the protest on Friday broadcasting live with Sacramento radio host Phil Cowan from AM1380 The Answer.

  • Newsom has dome a great job of ruining California.
    Of course, he has not completed his political agenda yet.
    So, why would he want to reopen?

    The dims should be swept away on a red tidal wave in November.

    • Lest you forget, the Party is dolling out a comprehensive package of tony food boxes, EDD love, deferred this and deferred that, unlikely evictions or foreclosures, rent vaguely optional......so what does a citizen now have to lose.....

    • There is a current submission to recall Newsom filed, it is pending correction and re submission. please go here "https://recallgavin2020.com/?fbclid=IwAR3kBck2HuM-EEkv00oL8ElppAez5L4y7rRiHf6YyPXoNVcWvkucuURhH8Y" for details
      Donations are badly needed to continue the process, if your serious on getting him recalled. Donate now!!

    • He wants to control California and cripple us and not let us get out and vote because he knows that he will not win another term because he is Deep State sooo if he can get rid of voter ID then he can stuff the ballot boxes and remain in power! SOOO CORRUPT!

      • Newsom belongs in the category with Hitler. Trying to control everyone for his own agenda.

    • Phase one of the plan of the Gov, mentions getting schools ready to reopen......My question to Newsom (and other CA politicians) Just how many schools have had 5G installed in them during the lockdown? If you actually were concerned about the health of any of the people you supposedly serve, you'd stop the rollout, especially in the schools where the most vulnerable spend majority of their time (if your plans will return to attending similar number of hrs spent in classroom ). I also hope you are charged for violating state/fed laws for payments made to illegals. Doubt you'll have to answer for your crimes like your party criminals. Best to hope for is you being run out of town by angry mob Go live in one of the countries that have benefited from your generosity of CA funds that you paid to illegals, (Don't forget to take your amigo buds with you when you go You bought them, they're yours now.) Send us photos of your new neighbors so we can see entire family of the illegals, who benefited with CA the taxpayer funds you stole.

      • yes! I agree. The 5G rollout. This has all been planned and timed. The negative effects for humans of 5G are not being talked about due to the conversation being all about the virus. One of the effects, is , increased aggression. The Navy did tests and has published data that shows it made the mice more aggressive. They couldn't do tests on people, because it was unethical to use human subjects, but, now...we are all test subjects. And, if we all become unruly and fight one another, and start rioting, they can call Marshal Law.

    • I do not know anybody who voted for this disgrace. What strings did auntie Pelosi pull to get him into office?

      • I totally agree. Not 1 single person I know voted this turd in and when asking if they knew anyone that had, nope. So how did this drop in place governor get there.

      • I agree Nazi Nancy definitely pulled a lot of strings to get him in there I also do not know a single other California citizen that voted for him it was obviously fraud because that's the way the dumbs operate California we need to vote him out

      • No one in our town and county that we know of voted for Newsome. We all signed the petition to recall him, and heard the votes were met to recall him, but the paperwork got lost so he never got and so recalled! Lies again! Crooked Democrats!

    • I agree with your comment he is the worst mistake this state has ever made more concerned with his female assistants then he is with state citizens losing their livelihood we need to vote him out sooner rather than later to save California

  • Great commentary. Those of us who are awake cannot and will not be mind-controlled by the media and technocrats.

  • Katy, one recent article mentioned a Dr Ben Wu, I believe, at one of newsoms briefings. I and some others mentioned in the comment section, they we could not find any info on the Wu guy.
    Do you know anything about this?

  • The U.S. Constitution doesn’t allow the GOVERNMENT to be the ultimate regulator of people’s lives because they have a doctor’s note. POWERS not delegated are RESERVED to states and the PEOPLE. If people dispense with constitutional restraints, we will have more to worry about than a virus! Freedom is never given but lives inherently in the person if and when the person is willing to protect his or her rights, powers and freedoms against constant attacks, denials and temptations.

    • Yet somehow it’s happy for and I’m being told that we can’t do anything about it. I’d rather the world end or I die then live like this anymore. I’m sorry but this needs to stop.

      • There is so much we can do about this. You have rights as a human being, and they are not governed by the state or federal government. Please have hope for the future, hope for your own life, hope for the world. Here is a scripture I read this morning that gave me hope..." In Him was life, and the life was the light of me. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did no comprehend it." Jn 1:4 -5 If you do not comprehend the light, ask for the comforter to come alonside you, the helper is send to us, to bring clarity, to guide, to direct, to help us come to the light.

  • The people will make the decision, not this idiot who, for politics, would through away people’s livelihoods. The Governor does not have the authority to take away our constitutional rights, no matter how bold the idiot behaves.

  • This is so stupid and surreal. Gruesome is behaving like the most abusive "parent" ever. He has the maturity level of an 8 year old, which is that's an insult to 8 year olds. No one respects him, he's a joke. He really needs to back off or he is going to have more trouble than he ever thought possible. The people of California are ready to carry on with their lives which are none of his BUSINESS but which he thinks he can play with nonetheless. But it's clear that people have already begun to tune him out.

  • "Immunity or vaccine" requirement. Does Governor Bozo understand he is violating HIPAA and anti-discrimination laws? I wonder what the response would have been if he had tried this in the 1980's with AIDS? Would he have outlawed gay sex? Mandated everyone wear condoms? T

  • Hey Governor Hair gel, we already have herd immunity as most of us have already suffered through the worst flu season that started earlier than usual last year.
    It wasn't until that midget Dr. Fascist started popping off about the inflated mortality risk that whipped up hysteria amongst the folks that watch network news....
    There's a reason why CA deaths are lower, we were already exposed to the crap last December & January.
    It's become beyond apparent that Auntie Nancy and the rest of the lying , cheating party of feelings are making moves to institute more opportunities to cheat at the upcoming elections.
    They are requiring Doctors to pad the death count for those that have other serious underlying health conditions, as they want to continue to scare the sheeple with high death counts...

    A frightened populace is an easily controlled populace.

    Time to rise up against these Communists if necessary...

    • I think it is ABSOLUTELY TIME 2 RISE & TAKE EACH STATE BACK BY FORCE & ARREST ALL WHO HAVE BEEN COMPLICIT & ENFORCED THIS HOAX AND PUNISHED CITIZENS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. LET CRIMINALS OUT YO ARREST MOMS AT PARKS WITH TODDLERS & THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN JOKE FINES. JUDGES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL. DIDN'T THEY ALL TAKE AN OATH TO PROTECT & SERVE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA??? THEY ARE YHE CRIMINALS. THEY MUST ALL BE ARRESTED & TEMPORARY CONSTITIONALISTS MUST FILL SPOTS TEMPORARILY UNTIL WE CAN ELECT A CONSTITUTIONALISTS.
      ALSO, THE WEALTH THEY STOLE FROM THE PEOPLE MUST BE TAKEN FROM EACH & PAID OUT TO THE BUSINESS & RENTALS FORCED IN2 FORCLOSURE SO THEY CAN STEAL OUR LIBERTIES, CHILDREN & HOME CARS & FREE SPEECH EVERYTHING OUR FOREFATHERS FOUGHT & DIED FOR!!!

    • As another Cali expat I am in total agreement with you. My kids are still there and seem to be part of the sheeple forced by employers to stay home. Cali has now become a total communist state and the monster won’t give up without a fight!
