Foreign Influence COVIDiocy: Foreign Agitators Started the Occupy LA Movement

The Occupy Canada convoy shows no signs of ending, and their boldness has encouraged foreign agitators to stir up similar movement in the US, and the antivaxxers have swallowed the bait. 

Facebook has confirmed that foreign actors are controlling several trucker convoy Facebook groups. Various groups are being run by IP addresses traced to Romania, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and other countries. Many of them used to be MAGA or Trump-related Facebook groups. Facebook have removed several that are confirmed to be run by foreign IPs, but the astroturfing has caught American attention, and even RFKjr's website has settled on a March 5th "convoy" targeting Los Angeles. 

Some have tried to organize groups to disrupt the traffic in Los Angeles to target the Superbowl this weekend, but they simply did not have enough time. 

It's clear that antivaxxers no longer cared if they've been led through the nose by foreign actors. They are willing to gather in tight quarters because they prefer to care about themselves and their "freedom" to spread COVID rather than care about keeping everyone safe. 

Vaccines prevent hospitalization, and masks prevent infection. That is the science of COVID. 

Such a "convoy" will pull in agitators of every sort, from Jan 6 insurrectionists to antivaxxers to free-dumbers to Maga dreamers who still believe the election was stolen from Trump even though all evidence shows Trump tried to steal the election, not to mention anarchists who just want to see some chaos, and whichever foreign actors with their own agendas. 

I hope CHP, LAPD, and Governor Newsome have contingency plans. If they don't start making some now. This can get VERY ugly. 

And if you join up, you're a COVIDiot sheeple who don't care if you've been used by foreign actors. 

Anti-Mask COVIDiocy: "Unhinged" Antivaxxer Stormed NYC Burger King Protesting Mask Mandate

As reported on ComicSands, a group of antivaxxers and antimaskers stormed a Brooklyn, New York Burger King to protest New York State's new mask mandate. Most of them split when NYPD showed up, but some had to be ejected by NYPD from the premises of Burger King. However, that's nothing special. What's actually unhinged is one of the women antivaxxers tried to solicit a crowd reaction claiming that because Burger King is open to the public, they cannot be thrown out. 

Then she tried to argue with the police that Burger King is a private business. Her argument? "No it's not [a private business]. If it is, they ould do it [allow people to order food] by appointment only."

WTF?!

This sort of twisted logic was right out of the "Sovereign Citizen" manual. (In case you don't know, Sovereign citizen believe themselves not bound by the law you and I live by, and they have bizarro explanations for why that is so)

But really, picking a Burger King as your figurative "hill to die on"? 

You can see the jokes poured in fast and furious. "They did their own research on the law too, huh?" 

What else is interesting? One of the stormers was identified as Mitchell Bosch, who had instigated multiple incidents around New York at various restaurants including Cheesecake Factory and Applebees, and was definitely present at the January 6 Insurrection. 

So there's a professional agitator in the crowd who wants to overthrow the legitimate government. 

Any bets on FBI already have a file on him? No one? 

Protest rant

Protesting about something in a rally may look good on TV, but gets nothing accomplished. In fact, such rallies are often "hijacked" by extremists / anarchists who are just looking for excuses to destroy something.

When "outraged" Oakland residents rallied to protest death of Oscar Grant III, the man shot to death by a BART police officer, some anarchists use the event to vandalize downtown Oakland. Dozens of businesses were vandalized, front windows broken, and many were looted.

And Oakland Police are NOT EVEN RELATED to BART Police except they have a bit of overlap in jurisdiction in Oakland.

And the protesters are NOT DONE. They are planning more and more rallies, forcing Oakland Police Department to deploy ever more police officers to head off any such violent confrontations. While nobody rampaged through downtown the last few attempts, several police cars were damaged, leaving the department short on patrol vehicles.

Enforcement and patrols in other neighborhoods are curtailed as more officers were moved to monitor the protests, leading to a rise in crimes.

Overtime costs for Oakland Police has already exceeded this year's "contingency funds".

And what has been done so far? Nothing beyond the usual. BART board decided to have an external law firm to conduct the investigation, and that's about it.

Another video has surfaced, this time depicting ANOTHER officer may have been beating Oscar Grant III just before the fatal shooting. The video was judged to be genuine, and more of these "civil activists" are calling for charging this other officer as accessory to murder, among other crimes.

It doesn't help that the victim is black, and the shooting officer(s) are white.

But what has the protests accomplished? Absolutely ZILCH, in my opinion, and may have contributed to spending millions of dollars in tax money, which comes from taxpayers like you and me.
