More push-back by the people of Michigan against orders from Gov. Whitmer. With all the law suits being filed, she may have even more grief coming her way.
'Overstepping her executive authority': Four Michigan sheriffs defy governor
April 15, 2020 04:41 PM
A group of sheriffs announced they will not enforce some of Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive orders on the same day thousands rallied against state-mandated shelter-in-place orders outside the state Capitol in Lansing.
Sheriffs Mike Borkovich, Ted Schendel, Ken Falk, and Kim Cole of Michigan's 101st District released a press statement Wednesday afternoon detailing what they said was their decision to place their oath to the Constitution above Whitmer's wishes.
It's anticipated there's going to be a flood of lawsuits and here are a few already in the works. Looks like a lot involving insurance companies.

'Overstepping her executive authority': Four Michigan sheriffs defy governor

Sheriffs Mike Borkovich, Ted Schendel, Ken Falk, and Kim Cole of Michigan's 101st District released a press statement Wednesday afternoon detailing what they said was their decision to place their oath to the Constitution above Whitmer's wishes.
Tsunami Warning"We write today to inform the public for our respective counties of our opposition to some of Governor Whitmer's executive orders. While we understand her desire to protect the public, we question some restrictions that she has imposed as overstepping her executive authority," read the letter signed by each sheriff.
Hundreds of thousands signed petitions and joined online groups to voice their frustration with Whitmer's orders and to organize protests. Whitmer enacted the stay-at-home policy on March 22 and has been met with criticism from small-business owners and the unemployed.
“People are basically being told what they can and can’t buy at stores," said Matt Seely, a member of the Michigan Conservative Coalition who rallied outside the state Capitol. "Nothing makes sense. You can buy a bottle of liquor, but you can’t buy a gallon of paint.”
The four sheriffs promised to continue abiding by social distancing guidelines as they attempt to reopen parts of Michigan that have not been affected as badly as the Detroit metro area, where more than 20,000 cases have been reported.
"Our focus needs to be on reopening our counties and getting people back to work. We also need to be aware that this virus is deadly and that we need to continue to practice social distancing, washing of hands, wearing of masks as well as other medically recommended measures."

Well, I think it is useless because most people do not have any symptoms. So they would be wasting time and money on people who do not need any help. So not testing everybody is ok, as long as they do the testing on people who do have symptoms and not saying later on that somebody died because of corona without testing. Even that doesn't prove that a person died because of corona, but at least is not obvious lying.
I've been quiet on the forum for the last few days trying to work through what I have slowly come to realise. The part bolded above which you have so clearly stated is what has slowly dawned on me with regards to my immediate family. One son is at home continually whilst another son is still working across the country so maybe hasn't as much time on his hands.
However, after so many weeks of layoff I'd hoped that either they would open up a bit about whats going on or start reading and delving to maybe get a broader view of events in the world .Neither of them has shown the slightest interest in doing so to the extent no mention is made, in any way, about whats going on. I'm branded the fruit cake in the family so they know I have more information than them but there is no curiosity whatsoever.
They cannot know what we know on the forum about the history of earth, etc, and it's heartbreaking to see there is no questioning about the present situation. These are my flesh and the hurt is deep even if I know it's their lesson and my lesson also. This also affects our casual conversations where no one has much news to relate....one day being the same as the last.
Sorry to unburden like this as so many have the same or similar problems. Just getting it out there has released a bit of tension.
We have a lot of deaths in nursing homes ...
It was said tonight on Belgian TV that the majority of the deaths in those homes had not been tested to see if it was because of the virus or not...
It looks like we could take 70% of those numbers off...
On the other hand, it is necessary to know:
That Belgium is a small country that has had the luxury of not having a government for a year.
Following the virus crisis, a temporary government was formed.
But above all, and this is no joke, we have 9 ministers of health !!!
And Maggie De Block, pfffffffffffff, not up to the task.
We have 48 ministers in all: surreal??? yes, completely

Wow! OK, now Facebook has decided not to sit idly by, but to direct you to the truth! Apparently it is now so important that people get disinformation that Facebook is changing its mostly silent, but already odious interference by talking back to you and pointing the way for you. Thank you, Big Brother.

It is very sad. When I walk with my dogs I see all the stores closed. Some were just open some months ago. How many lives that were excited to put their energy to something that maybe was a dream for them, a hard work for the future of them and their children, little stores that were as little plants on the streets of my neighbourhood, this one repairing clothes (cubanos), this other one selling fruits and vegetables, the other one a little take out restaurant from Liban food, this one a Chinese one where the guy was so gentle and talked a perfect Spanish, there is also the store of the Palestinian, with good clothes that was there since many many years, a man so gentle also with whom I had many interesting conversations. Closed. All closed, all tragedies, all bankruptcies, all debts, all dreams stopped, all future in the trash can, a total nihilism on this planet now, just the end of the world. When I walk with my dogs on the street of my neighbourhood it is the end of the world.
I wonder about that Luc. I mean you're right - logic would suggest that as an inevitable next step. But if you think about all the jump starts on your own road, all the pet beliefs you had to shed for years along the way - even unconsciously - in preparation before you maybe had some big 'Eureka!' moment, either at first finding Laura's work or something else that pushed you close enough to be ready for it... so even if the world population does get to see a massive, naked, all singing all dancing version of the man behind the curtain's behind stuck up in the air the colour of rhubarb... does that mean they will then be ready to awaken? Spiritually? Mentally? Psychologically to all the implications that flows from that? I mean - one of my favorite moments in the early Wave is Laura - I mean this is Laura - describing how she spent a time fervently explaining to anyone who would listen that that huge carrier-sized UFO that flew over her swimming pool (so low they felt they could touch it) was really a flock of geese! The implications of her own senses were so massive her mind did everything it could not to go there. Over her dead body!
That's why I sadly suspect political skulduggery on even this monumental scale revealed will not necessarily lead to any kind of follow on metaphysical thinking. There'd still be so much stripping away of chinkle-chankle chains and joined up dot making that would have to go on thereafter, even were they to irefutably know they were surrounded by nothing but lies, all it would take is a bit of programming to explain it all away and they'd be safe back in their pen - bruised and angry no doubt, but ready to wake up...????
Materialism has so stripped that space out of the inner lives of so many people's consciousness I just don't know how they could ever make that jump of imagination and realization. I look at say James Corbett - a man who I have the utmost respect for, whose work is impeccable, whose logic and lucidity is near miraculous. He has got just about everything there is to get about the surface illusion of the 3D matrix right down to the fact that our world is run by psychopaths... yet there is next to zero chance you would ever find him on this forum. Aliens? A joke to be constantly debunked! 4th Density? I think he would smile in your face, try to hide that patronizing comment that arose in his mind, and simply walk away... I sometimes think what does he put it all down to in the end... Evolution? Bad luck? Just the way things are... ? I notice he never goes near anything beyond modern history... no apparent interest in the ancient world... the electric universe... comets... is that it? If you don't get the 300,000 year journey of it you just don't get it. If the Fall doesn't resonate with you at all, then how or where do you get to enter the arch of the truth of everything...?
It maybe just comes down to a matter of what's encoded in your DNA. Either you've got the potential to truly awaken when your re-born here or you don't... I wouldn't wait around betting my life on folk growing it suddenly because they realize they've been conned all their lives...
Though of course I forget what the C's have just told us about that... hhmmmh
But I think that you might miss the main point here for the consequences they would have to face:
1. Before declaring symptoms you can be already ill and contaminate others
2. You can never declare symptoms and never be ill, still, you could contaminate others as a healthy bringer
So, according to me, the main point is that if they don't test everyone like in South Korea, Germany, Taiwan and so forth, they expose the population to contract the virus anywhere, anytime as soon as they stop the lockdown. It's not a matter of one being ill, it's a matter of one making others ill without any control about it.
Then, it would make the current lockdown useless. This is why, it's a stupid thing to say and do but on another hand, maybe a clue to help understanding things here.
It's always the same question that we ask ourselves regarding the events for years... and the current global situation adds one more step to the process, and still, some of us don't even doubt a bit about our reality and PTB go on with their agenda without blinking an eye it seems.Michael B-C said:

My thoughts exactly and I sort of hinted at that in my latest post.
But I also think that people really don't want to see the bigger picture. I have people around me who have come across all of this information, more or less, but they literally refuse to connect the dots, to put two and two together. It's like you if ask someone "what's two and two" and their answer is "two and two". There is no connection happening.
I have a feeling that this is some sort of defense mechanism which doesn't allow the person to bring into their conscious minds ideas that would crush the very basis of their comfortable lives. Their worldview makes no allowances for evil in such down to earth and tangible form.
Also, I don't think the average person is capable of staying functional in the face of such terrible uncertainty like the possibility of this entire civilization falling to pieces before their very eyes. They don't want to believe it, because if they did, in their mind, they might as well commit suicide right then and there. Every time I have read or thought about 1984, I though about how this system could ever be put into place. I mean, people would have to notice that something was amiss. Well, now I have my answer. They wouldn't!
Ignorance is bliss, right? I have never seen this to be more true than these days.
Looking at this from the perspective of the control system, it's like they're preparing for the harvest. There have never been so many people so completely misinformed about reality and so hopelessly holding on to this mortal coil, so afraid of death. They will still drive their cars and fly in planes and use power tools, at least until the media tells them how dangerous it is. We are being treated like children, but at least children misbehave a lot of the time. If we are so afraid of this virus, we are afraid of life and reality itself, and this is the very essence of STS, IMO. We are being corralled into the control matrix's feeding machine and people are just lining up to get consumed soul, mind and all.

Guess we should let the guy know about the untold millions Fauci stands to make once these pharmaceutical companies use his patented material for their new Coronavirus vaccines. That would really top things off!
Yes, I think this is something that might be similar to what is know as the "Palace Economy". This was one of the earliest forms of social order that meant that everything that a person produced was sent to a central govenment palace and then redistibuted to the people according to God knows what principles. It looks like they want to go back to the Bronze Age. It's probably nostalgia for the "good old days" on part of the Lizzies, who never had it easier to impose their control on humanity than at that time, when they could just have a ride in their little space ships for all to see and automatically be perceived as gods.
In part, I think it is this, well known in psychology, usually applied to natural disasters, but extends to other unusual, threatening periods or situations, too, as long as people aren't jolted right away.
An Insight Into the Concept of Normalcy Bias in Psychology
In psychology, there is a concept known as normalcy bias, which explains why most people underestimate the threat associated with natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, and why people are plagued by inaction during a crisis.
