What’s The Hullabaloo?

By Margaret Cantrell

Back when Covid-19 showed up on the scene and the state government started making illegal rules about how we were going to conduct our lives—masks, 6-foot social distancing, closing down what they deemed to be non-essential businesses, shutting up churches and other gathering places, making children stay home from school thereby interrupting vital learning and socialization—the good citizens of Shasta County said, “Oh, no! We’re not having this,” and things started getting interesting at the Board of Supervisors’ meetings.

At this point you may be asking, “Why are they illegal?” They are illegal because they broke the Law of the Land—the Constitution. Specifically, they violated our God given rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights. The first amendment prevents the government from making laws that prohibit the free exercise of religion, abridge freedom of speech or the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.They took away our freedom.

So, the good people of Shasta County—mothers and fathers, small business owners all--went before the board and demanded they be given their rights back. The board, under the chairmanship of Leonard Moty, not only refused, but the board also closed the meetings to the public, a clear violation of their mandate to serve the people. If you’ve watched Red White and Blueprint, an 8-part docuseries found on YouTube, you saw that a righteous Hullabaloo did ensue.

With the recall of Supervisor Moty, who lacked the moxie to lead the board to stand up to the state government’s overreach, his unhappy liberal followers—who liked the county government just the way it was—became the Hullabaloo makers. To date, they are still at it. Before the ballots had even finished being counted, Kevin Crye’s opponent, a member of that group, vowed she would have him recalled. And so, thedrama began with accusations that the new board was not doing its job; that Kevin Crye was doing things illegally. Name an accusation and they leveled it at him. At the same time there were a couple of people in this group who became rowdy and loud during board meetings, calling out from the floor, telling falsehoods at the podium, refusing to follow the rules of conductin the board chambers and directions from the chair. The Hullabaloo had escalated, many times causing the chamber to have to be cleared because the business of the board could not be conducted.

Introduce the current board’s efforts to provide the citizens of Shasta County with fair and transparent elections and the liberal fraud deniers ratcheted up their efforts to smear a board with a conservative majority. Over 80% of Americans know or suspect that there was something wrong with the 2020 election and do not believe Biden won the presidency. There are scores of cyber security experts and data analysts who have provided hard evidence of hacking or preprogramming of election machine computer components as well as firsthand witnesses of external devices—thumb drives—having been inserted into the various machines. The cyber experts agree that there is not one computer chip that can’t be hacked and there never will be. There is an axiom—something that is always true—that if there is a way to cheat, someone will do it. Using any electronics in our elections is asking for fraud.

The people in Shasta County who claim the elections are secure are smart folks who have made their way successfully in the world of commerce and surely have used their intuitive skills to make determinations about what is going on in the past. Why, now, are they suddenly blind to reality? What’s in it for them to deny election fraud.
