Believe it or not while the Republicans have given up the fight over Hillary Clinton’s “lost” emails Judicial Watch continues to fight for the truth and according to this story the conservative watchdog group has subpoenaed Google. Here is more:
On Wednesday, Judicial Watch issued a subpoena to Google, demanding emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that were supposedly sent to a Gmail account before being deleted. The subpoena is part of a long-term Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking “talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack” which also involves a court-ordered deposition of Clinton herself. This FOIA request uncovered Clinton’s insecure private home-brew server in 2015.
“A federal court, tired of the State and Justice Departments’ gamesmanship, authorized Judicial Watch’s subpoena to Google to follow a lead on the Clinton emails,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in a statement. “DOJ and State are AWOL and covering up for Hillary Clinton, so it is again up to Judicial Watch to do the basic investigative heavy lifting to get at the truth.”
The Google subpoena, announced Wednesday, demands the Big Tech company produce all Clinton emails from a Google account believed to contain Clinton’s emails. Platte River Networks’ IT specialist Paul Combetta reportedly used a Google account to transfer Clinton’s emails from a laptop to a Platte River server, then used BleachBit to remove any traces of the emails from the laptop. The subpoena seeks all Clinton emails from her time at State, between January 21, 2009 and February 1, 2013. Google must turn over the emails by May 13.
According to the allegations these emails were uploaded to Google before the former Secretary of State used BleachBit to destroy them so there is the possibility that these emails still exist. I would not count on it after all of this time but at least Judicial Watch is out there still fighting to get to the truth.

Illinois judge rules Health Department must give police the names of all COVID-19 patients
We are beginning to see some very dangerous trends–in addition to having all of our rights thrown out the window–as a response to the so-called COVID-19 threat. We have lost all of our rights during the pandemic and now the stage is being set to usurp our rights when the pandemic is over. They are calling this usurpation a “new normal” but I prefer to call it what it is.
We have already learned that millions of Americans are being tracked through the advertisers on their cell phones and Jared Kushner wants to create a COVID-19 surveillance system, Doctor Fauci has floated the idea of people needing vaccination or COVID-19 immunity papers to travel, and now the talk is about inserting a microchip in everybody. There is also an app being developed which would track COVID-19 positive people and allow others to know when somebody around them has the virus.
All of these are violations of a person’s right to privacy and while we are on that subject, a judge in Illinois has ruled that a county Health Department must give the police the names of all of the people in that county who have COVID-19. Here is more:
The McHenry County, Illinois, Health Department (MCHD) had refused to provide the names of all coronavirus (COVID-19) patients to police – but, on Friday, Judge Michael Chmiel ruled the MCHD must do so.
The McHenry County state’s attorney’s office had sued MCHD to force it to begin supplying patients’ names to local law enforcement, prompting the judge’s ruling, The Chicago Tribune reports:
“On Friday, McHenry County Judge Michael Chmiel entered a temporary restraining order mandating that the Health Department disclose to police the names of those actively infected with COVID-19.”
…
“The Health Department refused to reveal the names, prosecutors stated in a news release. Health departments have typically cited privacy concern in withholding such information, specifically the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.”
So much for the HIPPA laws, the patient’s right to privacy, and the patient/doctor relationship. Sure this might only be one county in one state but we know it will spread quicker than the virus itself until the police in every state have the names of all COVID-19 patients.
This is no longer tinfoil hat material, the threat of this virus is being used to usurp our rights and track our movements. The Illuminati are finally making their move after years of softening the American people and we are reaching a critical point in our history. Will we be willing give up our freedom or will we stand up and say enough is enough? It may not be long before we long for the days when we at least had our fettered freedom…

He is risen!
He is risen!
“When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.” (Mark 16:1-4 NIV)
“But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood before them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he is risen!” (Luke 24:3-6 NIV)
Fettered Freedom
How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead; So free we seem, so fettered fast we are–Robert Browning
Fondness it were for any being free, to covet fetters, though they golden be–Edmund Spenser
We, as Americans, have always prided ourselves on our freedom. But the truth is Americans have not been free, as I define the word, in many, many years. I am not talking about the government gradually stealing all of our rights from us and selling them back to us as privileges–such as having to pay to hunt or fish, or to practice the second amendment, needing permits to protest or gather, or even of the idea of taxation being theft–all of these things being true.
What I am talking about here is the idea of being free to walk away from it all and to live your life free from interference. Freedom is more than being able to go to a ballgame on your day off or maybe going to a movie. Freedom as defined: “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” If you were to walk away from your job how long could you live on your own? Would you have to find another job to survive? If so you are not free, because you have a master, but it is not quite slavery either because you can change your master. I call this state of mankind “fettered freedom” and this is the freedom the vast majority of Americans live in today.
But as I look around today I see we are on the verge of losing even this fettered freedom and I am shocked at how easy it has become and how willing the American people are willing to submit to authoritarianism. You have probably figured out that I am referring to COVID-19 and how easy it was for the states to basically shut down our lives, giving us the freedom only to buy food, water, and other essentials.
Our lives have been upended by the combination of an invisible menace and a government which is always ready and willing to push the limits of power to see how far the American people will let them go. This of course is not the first time the government has used a crisis to take away our rights.
Do I even need to mention the PATRIOT Act? But we also saw something after the Boston marathon bombing which had me worried at that time and that was the shelter in place order and the stories of police ripping people out of their homes and searching the people and their homes without warrants. All under the guise of security…
Not only did the people accept this without question but they cheered the actions of the police state. The complacency of the people frightened me more than the actions of the police, or should I say just as much as the police, because this showed us the majority of Americans have grown soft and do not understand what freedom and the Constitution mean or stand for.
If you go to the store today and as you see police outside telling you whether or not you are free to enter the store yet, or if you see police inside telling you to stand back or to stop, or if the store you would like to go to is shuttered because the government told it to close, and as you see people walking around with fear and trembling longing for the government to protect them, ask yourself if this what it means to be free? I do not think so.
Basically the government is letting people work and eat and this is about all, but the government is not even letting all people earn a living because the government has determined they are non-essential. How demeaning is that term? All jobs are essential to the people who have them, and all businesses are essential to the people who own them. These people did not lose their jobs or their businesses, they had them taken from them by the government. These people are only allowed to eat. However we know how totalitarian governments treat people who consume more than they produce…
This, like all other crises, is a test run. A test by the government to see how far they can push the American people and frankly while I am not surprised at the government I am stunned by how many people are willing to take it without question. If these restrictions are eventually lifted (I am sure they will let Americans go back to work to be productive but socially will things ever be the same again?) and life returns somewhat to our normal state of fettered freedom, does anybody believe this will not become more and more routine, and for longer periods with even more restrictions, until we reach the point where we have lost everything and we actually long for the day when we at least had fettered freedom?

Above All
Today is Good Friday and I thought I would share with you some verses from Mark and a video which I feel is a great reminder of what we are remembering today.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
(Mark 15: 22-39 KJV)
Here is a song entitled “Above All” sung by Michael Smith with a video with scenes from The Passion of the Christ. I know it is hard to watch but I feel it is important.
Democrat to refer Donald Trump to Hague for ‘crimes against humanity’ Hydroxychloroquine advocacy
There is a liberal conspiracy going around that claims the reason Donald Trump is advocating for the use of Hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients is because he is invested in the drug. These people may not admit it but they are routing for the drug to fail because this will give them what they believe is a twofold victory: if the drug fails it means Donald Trump will lose money and more people will die. If more people die it lessens the chance of Donald Trump winning in November and this is collateral damage they are willing to take.
Now one Democrat is threatening to refer Donald Trump to Hague for crimes against humanity because of his avocation of this drug, here is what Tavia Galonski from Ohio tweeted:
But she either conveniently forgot or she does not know that the FDA has already approved the drug for emergency COVID-19 treatment and it appears to be having some good results, as New York Governor Cuomo recently affirmed.
But those facts do not matter to her or to any of the other liberals who are out there who want to see the President brought up on charges and the use of a possibly life-saving treatment to be halted for their political agenda.
