| ESCAMBIA COUNTY IS NOT CONTEMPLATING MANDATORYMASK WEARING ORDINANCES. I REPEAT: ESCAMBIA COUNTY IS NOT CONTEMPLATING MANDATORY MASK WEARING ORDINANCES. I REPEAT...... |
I'm suddenly getting emails urging me to NOT support MANDATORY mask wearing ordinances in Escambia County.
But so far as I know--there is NO SUCH ORDINANCE in the works. None. We're not bringing this.
So where is this push coming from anyway? Here's a flavor of what I am getting from emails to me:
"Commissioners,
It has been brought to
attention there's an effort being made in Escambia County, Florida to lock
things back down and introduce new regulations. Many understand there is
pressure being placed on you all as Commissioners to "act". The
Governor says OPEN, but individuals are saying to impose regulations and
mandate masks. MOST ARE NOT EVEN USING MASKS PROPERLY. How is wearing a CLOTH
mask on your forehead, in your car by yourself, on your chin, wearing a mask to
the beach that's floating up on shore, lifting it up and down a ton of times a
day and readjusting it constantly helping anything at all? If anything, people
are breathing in their own Co2 all day. They are doing the above then touching
their face, grocery store items, cross contaminating their vehicles, leaving
nasty gloves all over the place and whatever else. THEY ARE USING THESE MASKS
AS AN EXCUSE TO PACIFY THEMSELVES AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING THEIR
PART TO HELP. THIS VIRUS IS NOT GOING AWAY! There will be NO cure, only a
vaccine and there is no telling how long that will be before it happens. People
have to survive, NOT DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT to take care of them. Making
masks mandatory will do nothing but make people mad, make people have to
justify why they are not wearing one which means in turn officers get to
babysit. You also would be imposing fines on people who are already suffering
from the pandemic which took a toll on their livelihood. It is not right to
overstep your boundaries on citizens and attempt to force them to do things
which would be Unconstitutional. The Constitution does not say "We have
rights....Unless someone gets sick". If people are FORCED into closing
their businesses down again, you will have a mess on your hands. People are
frustrated, fed up and losing everything they've worked their entire lives for.
Suicide rates, divorces, law suits, depression, violence, theft and other many
things will be up sky high. PLEASE DO NOT OVERSTEP AND FORCE ANY OF THESE
THINGS ONTO CITIZENS OF ESCAMBIA COUNTY. We all have the need as humans to feel
like things are somewhat normal. We have been through many viruses, and
sicknesses. This is NO way for anyone to live. Imposing on people is only a way
to turn law abiding citizens into what would be considered criminals just to
survive. The government is allowing inmates out of jail because of Covid and
locking good citizens up because of Covid. What sense does any of this make?
PLEASE DO NOT BE
PRESSURED! NO MANDATES, NO MANDATORY MASKS! NO CLOSING AGAIN! WE NEED TO MOVE
FORWARD!
Thank you,
XXXXXXXXXXXX"
"There
is now an organized effort being made in Escambia County Florida, to lock the
county back down and introduce new regulations concerning the Second Wave of
COVID. We are seeing pressure being put on County Commissioners to “act
because the state will not be helping”. In other words, they are saying
that the Governor says “Open” but we should close down
regardless, and impose more regulations.
I would like to remind
you that our area has in fact flattened the curve of COVID and our medical
community has NOT been overwhelmed by COVID patients.
Yes, Escambia County Florida currently does NOT require
a mask mandate, nor is it closing the county back down due to COVID. We indeed are very lucky to live in an area not
currently mandating masks, but we are aware of the opposition in the works
to do just that.
This virus is here to stay, and our area has proven that without
masks and overreaching regulations, we can live normally and remain cautious.
Escambia County does NOT need more regulation, Escambia County does NOT
need to mandate masks in public.
South Florida is setting an extremely dangerous precedent
when they mandate masks until June
2021. We are asking you to lead
Escambia County and not follow other areas because of the pressure being put on
you.
I wanted
to email each of you county commissioners and plead with
you to absolutely not close our county, nor make any other
regulations, and definitely no mandated masks! Escambia County deserves Freedom and
Liberty, and our citizens will remember this in November when it’s time to
vote.
With
Sincerest Thanks,
XXXXXXXX"
"Dear Jeff Bergosh,
I am a senior citizen and I CAN NOT breath in a face
mask! We should have the freedom to choose if we Wear a face mask! I also do
not believe we need another “lock down” or “shut down” in this county!
Keep Escambia County open and do not mandate face masks!
Thank you,
XXXXXXX"
"Jeff,
I
feel, as an adult and as an American Citizen we should have the option to
choose to wear a face mask, and go out in Public.
We
should be able to decide how we “protect” ourselves and our family, we
supposedly live in a “free” country, but the way things are going it
doesn’t
Feel
so free. We do not need more regulations. It is common curtesy to stay home
when we are sick, and keep our children home when they
Are
sick. People that are not sick should not have to quarantine! Please do not
mandate face masks, and do not close our county back up!
Thanks,
XXXXXXXXX"
Who would have thought a mask would cleave the nation in 2020.
ReplyDeleteBTW Jeff that's a racist picture and if you don't wear a mask it's racist and if you support the police, that's racist and if you support the US flag and stand for the pledge intelligence to the USA that's racist. If you participate in white flight that's racist or gentrification -- that's racist, If you like the tune Dixie, that's racist, If you are silent, that's racist and if you speak up that's racist, if you are color blind that's racist or if you single out a person of color or use the wrong term that's racist. and on and on and on and on..If you don't support the socialist revolution taking over the republic that's racist. If you support black culture that appropriation..
How could you dare write such an inflammatory piece of racist garbage talking about such a divisive subject of wearing a mask. I'm offended I bet you are one of those garbage human being that support freedom of speech and religion.
Don't you know the far left wants to control every aspect of people lives and crazy make with the political correctness?
.. with face coverings emerging as an emblem for what cleaves the nation. A flurry of recent studies supports wearing cloth face coverings as a means to limit transmission of the novel coronavirus, which causes the illness covid-19. To many people, masks represent adherence to civic duty and a willingness to make individual sacrifices for the greater good of public health. To others, masks symbolize government overreach and a violation of personal liberty.
Whatever.."merica
I'll be wearing a mask. but screw all that other noise.
I sent you an email about this last night, Commissioner Bergosh. (I posted it below) This is just Doug and a fanboy up to their typical and puerile misinformation campaigns.

Dear Commissioners,
It has come to my attention that Qanon adherent Alex Arduini has put Escambia Citizens Watch on notice that there is an organized event to try to gain support for mandatory mask wearing in Escambia County. He insinuates that I am organizing the event.
It's lunacy, of course, and why Jacqueline Rogers allows that sort of thing to run on at that site, the world will never know. If there is such an event happening, I'm certainly not aware of it.
I do, however, believe that the County should have instituted a mandatory mask rule for its staff and people visiting buildings a long time ago, as all of you are well aware. I tried for weeks to impress upon your board the need for strict social distancing measures and masks on County property, buses, etc.
That quite obviously fell on deaf ears, for anybody paying attention to how this County has been operating. I couldn't even get the slightest measures for self-protection and protection of others instituted at the County; the last thing I'd try to waste my time on is a mandatory mask rule for Escambia.
Unfortunately, Mr. Arduini put out a call for Jacqueline's viewers to write the commissioners about my latest nefariousness. I don't think anybody but his fellow Qanon adherents pays any attention to him, but you may have some emails coming in with this nonsense. I therefore wanted to provide this context for whatever phantasmagoria this latest Doug Underhill operation produces in your inbox. Attached is Doug's endorsement of this sort of behavior, his commendation to a fellow Q'er for leading a successful "uprising" on the Beach opening. And yes, sadly, they actually believe that it's true. The FBI has put out an intelligence bulletin identifying the threat of domestic terrorism from this extremist fringe group and others:

Mr. Bergosh,
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your blog post about masks; The rumor is coming from self proclaimed QAnon cult follower, Alex Arduini. It’s another one of his QAnon tactics to stir up nonsense to blame Melissa Pino, who he has deemed as a “deep state enemy” . This would be laughable, if it wasn’t so disturbing!
He’s claiming “victory”, over an imaginary issue that wasn’t even on the table for discussion. For the purpose to discredit Melissa, & build his following. I sent an email with his call out to his followers to bombard county & city officials.
This type of rhetoric is incredibly damaging to our community. The FBI has deemed QAnon cult conspiracy theories as a terrorist threat. The local QAnon cult followers need to be put on a watch list!
Kim C.
Piss in their pants over QAnon and align with left wing domestic terrorists. Weird.

ReplyDeleteThe Florida Department of Health issued a Public Health Advisory on Saturday calling for everyone in the state to wear a face mask in response to increased COVID-19 cases in the state.
The BIE were put on an FBI watch list
ReplyDeleteCommune ity. The liberal foreign policy and order of the past and the think tanks set in place such as the trilateral commission are facts. Look it up. What has been going on lately is similar to the cultural revolution in communist China under Mao. So yes Trump is rogue on both. The American people elected him on the America first isolation platform and wanted to have us stop being the world police and bearing the burden of expense. There are people in high places wanting to reestablish that globalism policy and others that want to turn the country to socialism. The virus is real but there is a lot going on. Unfortunately there are people out that want to shut down free speech on Facebook to people they oppose. Civility is dead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listening to your constituents!
ReplyDeleteThe Lies being spread about me Alex Arduini and my wife Dana Arduini are purely false and defamatory. We are NOT what these people want you to think. They have been cyber stalking us for months now, they hate that we have truly started a grass roots movement here in Escambia County and neighboring counties. The citizens of Escambia County are motivated to NOT allow any overreaching restrictions and they are making their voices heard! Thank you to everyone who emailed/called to let their voice be heard! These direct comments about us are the reason we will continue to push and fight for our neighbors!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed the links you provided. Tom Sowell is perfect at this time. Life Liberty and Levine is good tonight.
ReplyDeletePeople need to be looking at Markism. Right now, Bernie's Platform sounds like a good idea. It's not. Here's Sowell explaining economics.

ReplyDeleteCommissioner Bergosh, It seems as if Alex Arduini, who was pointed out by Melissa Pino, saw this mask mandate push before you did. These “Rumors” aren’t rumors now, there is a push to mandate masks! Thank you for not supporting a mask mandate!
ReplyDeleteGheez, I guess everybody doesn't have all day to process this, This blog was written before the department of health mandate about the masks. Wear a damn mask or be stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe other is unnecessary drama. If Arduini thinks his rally opened the beach then he wasn't following that three commissioners already said they would open it prior to the vote. Leaders are trying to figure this out also. They are people not gods.
People this virus is dangerous.
Don't take pictures with people's house in the back ground esp. if Underhill told you to do that. Arduini You entered into a 'war zone" You calls to fill up the inboxes are deemed ridiculous--
Q is interesting because some of it has some truth to it, as far as the people in power prior to Trump and the foreign policy in place and the attitudes. It's complicated. I had heard of it and decided to look it up after I saw the controversy in online public groups locally.
Trump is a human and a narcissist and says dumb things and he has become the object of hate by the left and esp the blacks as a whole. The Markists use clever tactics. The narrow things down to a little box and label and attack and hate and shame etc. it's disgusting to civil society and our civilization.
The NAACP has been pushing for communistic ideals for 100 years and socialism for 100 years and one of the tactics is to divide people and convince them they are oppressed and that the enemy is the one in power. The others. This ingrained thought will not be broken so it is apparently coming.
They have pushed that the confederate flag and statues were symbols of hate when most people din't see that or care one way or an other prior to their push for divide and conquer. hard to have a discussion about the welfare state if every one is labeled racist and horrible if they disagree and attempt to have the discussion.
Britain tried socialism and it failed, them they embraced the open societies and it failed..think Brexit, but most people won't think that far about things.
In my opinion they should be teaching people to be self sufficient and self reliant but old habits die hardand I am just one introvert.
Social media is like jumping into a tank with sharks in the water waiting to eat people they disagree with alive, turning them into chum and calling in the zombies to feed upon the flesh.
Biden is senile.
Trump will not be able to with stand the onslaught..
so what is going on is complicated.
The painting of BLM by artists is a logo for Socialism. Look it up.
ok now DeSantis rejects the mandate..
ReplyDeleteWhatever..
This entire shyte show is ridiculous.
And who trolls who? I've seen it from the left, not conservatives. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/18/how-to-handle-a-troll-and-neuter-a-sea-lion-dealing-with-online-attacks-astroturfine-trolljacking
ReplyDeletelook in the mirror.
The National call out for Whats Happening Pensacola f/b on the huge Q site (far right) was also trolling. Did he mention anyone specifically by name?
ReplyDeleteFacebook is allowing doxing and shaming and calling for people to be fired and to put in bad reviews etc on What's Happening Pensacola, and many other sites that sprung up The local news sites are also publishing the defamation They are a part of the assault on free speech, in the guise of antiracism. What it really is -- I don't agree with you and more.
One group owner publicly stated she was autistic. It was odd to people watching because she said she only reveals she is autistic in a place she feels comfortable and trusts every one, so she posts it on a public page. Note Autism is a condition in which it is understood they have difficulty with social interactions.
If you contact and tag people who don't want to be tagged, that's harassment. And if people read what one posts publicly that's not cyber stalking
Doesn't any body have any social skills or manners anymore?
Note the link posted by anonymous of the New York Times, they delete any comments by conservatives. Although what they had to say in the article has truth, they have definitely become the mouthpiece for the far left.
ReplyDeleteThis all reminds me of my childhood with my Mother and sibling, just replace the words in quotes with most anything...
Mom would say
"If I hear "racist" or "white supremacist" out of either one of you again, you are both in trouble, now go to your rooms and think about that and when I say come out, You girls better hop to it and clean the bathroom, empty the trash, bathe the dog and come help with supper" And I meann now!
"yes maam."
Love you Mom
If God is for us, Who can be against us!
ReplyDeleteAlex Arduini, who is "us?" You and your fellow Qanon cult members?
ReplyDelete--Melissa Pino
Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” The word US is referring to all of us, which includes you as well! God is for ALL of us, not just a select few. Us refers to everyone past, present and future, God’s Love is Omnipresent! Gods love is Everywhere, all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI don’t know why you have so much hate for me and my wife, in your heart. We will be praying for you and I hope that one day you will stop your attacks. Thank you and have a great day!
Melissa Pino, Seems like you are upset because this Alex Arduini guy is better at lobbying the county than you and he actually gets other people to help?
ReplyDeleteRomans chapter 8 verse 31 KJV New Testament
ReplyDeleteIn the mind of liberals destroying lives counts as speaking truth.
ReplyDeleteEvery church who preaches the Bible, teaches us that If God is for us, Who can be against us! Mrs. Pino why are you saying that is a cult teaching? Are you saying that Bible teaching churches are a cult? Mr Bergosh attends my same church and we are Not a cult! This is why the world is falling apart all around us. People have turned their backs on God!
