THE STATE OF THE STATE AND COUNTY

Everything Was a Lie

The funding, the origin, the severity, ​the spread, and the effectiveness of ​natural and alternative remedies were ​all lied about.

 So many of us knew it.

 We were silenced, censored, canceled, ridiculed and prosecuted. Any dissent was snubbed out.

 Now, everyone knows.

 Recently Anthony Fauci admitted that the social distancing and mask rules were all “made up”. ​He originally said the masks would be of no effect, but then the control freak took over. He is ​owned by Big Pharma. 

 How does this relate to the state of your State and County?

 We are all well aware of the damage done to our kids - the learning loss, behavioral issues, ​depression and social setbacks. A National Institute of Health (NIH) study called the impact of ​mask use on students' literacy and learning “very negative”.

 The impacts from social distancing caused “depression, generalized anxiety, acute stress, and ​intrusive thoughts,” another NIH study found.

 Our Eagle County school system is in serious trouble. The school system has been placed on an ​improvement plan, and enrollment continues to decline (while the budget still goes up). ​Teachers and administrators are overwhelmed by social and behavioral issues. Many parents ​have elected to home school their children or leave the State altogether.

 It didn’t need to be this way. Any of us who traveled during, or coming out of the plandemic, ​know that it was a tale of two countries. Red States were open for business. People could work ​and move freely. Kids were not subjected to draconian measures of control.

 Your Democrat Colorado Governor and the Democrat controlled houses locked down your State. ​They destroyed lives, livelihoods, and businesses. They restricted your movement and ability to ​work. They quarantined healthy people. They forced a vaccine on you to work. They wreaked ​havoc on our kids.

 They gave us one of the highest inflation rates in the country due to their lockdowns. Crime is out ​of control.

We are still suffering the consequences of their actions.

 Right here in Eagle County, Democrat County Commissioners Matt Scherr, Kathy Chandler-Henry, ​and Jeanne McQueeney led the assault on your kids and livelihoods.

 Scherr, Chandler-Henry, and McQueeney masked your kids when there was no science to ​support it. They denied medical exemptions from the unconstitutional vaccine mandate thus ​denying people the right to work. 

 It had nothing to do with health and everything to do with control.

 One of the most evil and heartbreaking examples of control was the crusade Scherr, Chandler-​Henry, and McQueeney waged against Cornerstone Christian School in Basalt and Pastor Jim ​Tarr. Cornerstone is a private institution in Basalt. Cornerstone receives no public funding. It is ​not a public (government) school.

 Pastor Tarr wanted to operate his school and church according to the wishes and direction of ​his Board and parents. He wanted to remain open and give the kids an outlet, an education, a ​normal life. He wanted parents to make the decisions impacting their children.

 Scherr, Chandler-Henry, and McQueeney were incensed that Pastor Tarr did not follow their ​Fascist edicts. 

 Pastor Tarr appeared before the Commissioners several times and respectfully requested that ​freedom. He said, “In the role of society, children are not created to be obedient to any other ​system of government except for the wishes of their parents.”

 Scherr, Chandler-Henry, and McQueeney gave no quarter and aggressively and maliciously ​pursued even forcing the County Sheriff to serve Pastor Jim. 

 In a free society, parents, not government overlords, determine what is best for their children. Do ​they attend school, do they mask, do they drop out altogether are all questions that should be ​addressed by parents. 

 We all remember Leftist elites such as Fauci, Obama, and Newsom not wearing masks or ​observing distancing during the lockdowns. We all remember Leftist politicians getting caught ​putting on masks only for the cameras. 

 It was all a lie. 

 Let’s take this one step further. Should we ask ourselves how do we trust our legislators going ​forward at the State and local levels? Do we buy into their “green-new deal” vision requiring ​builders and developers to seek out remedies significantly increasing already high costs to ​build? What will we do if they declare another pandemic? Will we be willing to sacrifice our ​freedoms and livelihoods based on fear versus hearing from all the medical experts and ​scientists without censorship? 

Believe nothing. Not even what you read here. As when we began this digital print, we said to ​question everything. Question now more than ever. No matter who says it or who prints it.

We must act locally and remember all of this in November and every election in the future.

 Get involved as if your family, your life, and your livelihood depend on it because they do.
