If 20,000 people (or more) show up to the beach on July 4th, what the heck do the authorities expect can be done about it?



The power of govt. only exists as long as the governed give their consent. Withdraw that consent and government is powerless.

2) The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.

3) Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear.

4) As soon as the people are no longer fearful, the control ends.

5) The overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws. There was no debate; no input from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the decisions.

6) All unilateral rules are arbitrary, and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary compliance. As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of the rules has expired.

7) Liberty is inherent.

The removal of liberty requires consent.
