Want to be enraged? Read this piece about the way a California county surveilled a church for MONTHS in 2020.
It got some attention when it came out in early March. It deserves much more.
David Zweig is one of the Twitter Files reporters. He managed the great feat of reporting well - not hyper-aggressively, but honestly and well - on the insanity of Covid without entirely losing access to the elite media. (I know of only one other reporter who did the same - Alec MacGillis, for a while. But MacGillis gave up after a couple of stories about the hideousness of school closings.)
Anyway, read the piece. But make sure you’re in private so no one will hear you scream.
Alex:
That was my church for 18 months before I left SJ, CA. The story is true. I joined Calvary Chapel Hillsdale (San Jose) in Jan 2021. My previous church, Saratoga Federated refused to open to in person service. I emailed the new paster Sean several times asking when he would reopen. He said it was still too unsafe. Sean also refused to join many out of county pastors at the San Jose courthouse during the many appearances in front of the judge by Pastor Mike. Anyway, Calvary attendance grew as more people like me found a hot church after leaving a cold church. Jan 2021 attendance was ~ 250 per service (two services each Sunday). July 2021 was ~ double that attendance and then double again by end of 2021. Nobody I knew or heard about got sick from all the hugging and singing and ages in the church. I would sit in different parts of the church each week to meet different groups. Everyone was happy and healthy and normal. I did know one person who died from the forced COVID shot. He had just been hired for a new and better job that required the jab. He was the only child of a single mother and was 27 when he died. This forced jab to keep your job was rampant in Santa Clara County under Sara Cody and the abusive county and state gov't. Sara Cody makes $435K per year. She is the County Health Officer at $250K and does something else paying $120K with benefits adding to ~$435K. The problem in Santa Clara CA is that nobody seems to care to challenge this BS...except Calvary Chapel and its members. I keep in touch, but we moved to a free state in 2022. Thanks for what you do Alex!
These people are a perfect example of why the 2nd Amendment was enshrined into the Bill of
Rights of the US Constitution. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.
