Indivisibles…A Deception from the Beginning
Indivisibles…A Deception from the Beginning
On May 1, 2025, a group of about 40 Communists staged a demonstration along Hwy 17, a major thoroughfare in Palatka, Florida. The group had the look of the Tea Party of old—home-made looking signs and even a Gadsden Flag. More significantly, there was an attempt to engage the public in a friendly manner.

After the election of the 45th President of the United States in 2016, the Communists created the Indivisibles to counter President Trump. They modeled the organization after the Tea Party’s personification and activities. During Trump’s first administration the Indivisibles had the look of a Tea Party, but not the sound of Tea Party protests. They continued the Communist style of chants, bull horns and the noise making tactics designed to stop free speech. It alienated the public, but fake news liked to cover it. Locally, they faded out about halfway through President Trump’s first term.
Now they are back as part of a national campaign to oppose President Trump’s second administration. The Indivisibles are energized and have calmed down their aggressive shouting, using patriotic symbols instead. The Indivisible Communists are far more dangerous in this mode than they have been in the past.
The national website for the Indivisibles claims millions of grassroots supporters. Yet, the same individuals show up in different locations indicating a shortage of “volunteers.” Then, there are the tell-tale inconvenient out of town buses parked nearby. There were actually signs stating that they are not paid protesters. Despite disclosures to the contrary, there are reports of paid participates at Communist rallies and protests across the country. Further evidence has been revealed by a patriotic videographer who mingles with the Indivisibles TCCR Staff Photos trying to interview them. Most avoid the situation by running away. Those who talk on camera reveal that they were given the sign and don’t know what it means. On May 1st this was true of the person holding the Gadsden Flag; he had no idea what the history of the flag was or what it stood for.
For a while it appeared that the demonstrators in Palatka were getting positive responses from the traffic passing by at about 5 PM on their way home from work. Palatka is a blue-collar, democrat controlled city with a black majority vote. However, it was then learned that a Patriot was embedded among the Communists with a huge 4x8 sign that said, “Deport these Democrats.” When he left the Indivisible group and joined a small group of patriots positioned just before the Communists, the horn blowing support of the passing vehicles shifted away from the Communists to the Patriots who were outnumbered 10 to 1.
As we said at the start, the Indivisibles have been a deception since their beginning—actually being Communists while pretending to be Tea Party Patriots and using patriotic symbols and patriotic language to mask the tyranny they try to impose at every opportunity. On their national website they claim, “Our vision real democracy -- of, by, and for the people.” Sounds good to some, but they fail to recognize that America’s founders created a Republic. The word democracy is not found in any of the founding documents because the founders knew that a democratic system is the first step to enslavement. WE ARE A REPUBLIC!

SATP, Inc. Holds Emergency Meeting
Officers Elected to fill SATP’s Vacated Positions
FB Image
The SATP has always been about the FB Image membership and their will. Changes to the forum from one which expressed the will of the SATP members to one that appealed to the St. Johns County Republican Executive Committee (SJC-REC) members proved to be catastrophic. When no one showed any interest in partisan politics, the vibrant SATP’s bi-monthly meetings which were held for over a decade, ended. Then, according to “Article V” of the SATP by-laws, the required annual meeting on July 9, 2024 was not held. Article IV of the SATP By-laws states, “The officers of the SATP shall be a Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. These officers shall also serve as the Board of Directors. Officers shall be elected for a one-year term by Voting Members of the SATP at the annual election meeting to be held on the 2nd Tuesday in July.” Since no meeting was held, all offices in the SATP became vacant as of midnight July 9, 2024, and then there was no State of Florida Document one who could legally conduct any binding SATP business.
The remaining two SATP founding members and the last directors of record of the St. Augustine Tea Party, Inc. called for an emergency meeting on April 27, 2025, to remedy the vacated officer condition that was caused by the absence of the July 9, 2024 annual meeting.
State of Florida Document
The sole order of business was the election of officers. The following Directors and Officers were elected by acclamation:
▪ Lance L. Thate, Director, Chairman
▪ David P. Heimbold, Director, Treasurer
▪ Bob Kuczewski, Director, Secretary
▪ David P. Heimbold, Director, Treasurer
▪ Bob Kuczewski, Director, Secretary
The changes as a result of the April 27, 2025 meeting have been filed with the Florida Secretary of State, Division of Corporations.
After the meeting Lance Thate, the newly elected Chairman, stated:
“The birth of the “Tea Party Movement” which occurred on April 15, 2009 was the beginning of the awakening of the American people to the domestic dangers we face today. Sixteen (16) years have passed since that memorable day. Many Patriotic groups have emerged along the way. The SATP has always been an inclusive group of Patriots. The open meetings provided a place where specialty groups could present their views. Speaking for the Republican Party in 2014, Karl Rove declared the Tea Party dead and the corporate news outlets stopped making any mention of the Tea Party. But the SATP, free from Republican influence, lived on to see the evolution of ‘The Movement’ as it progressed from Tea Party to the ‘America First Movement’. I opened SATP meetings over 200 times stating that we were a grassroots organization, not allied with any political party and that we did not endorse candidates. About 50% of the population make up the Republican and Democrat parties, split about evenly. The other 50% of the population are something else or undefined. A grassroots organization includes Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and the great undefined. It was this collection of voters that became ‘Too Big to Rig’ and elected the 47th president. President Trump has Democrats in his administration. Likewise, the reorganized SATP will welcome anyone who cherishes LIBERTY. It is a long shot to think that open meetings can be restored after 19 months. But this ‘old guy’ along with your help will make the effort. There are numerous people who think having a historic Tea Party in historic St Augustine is a worthwhile goal. A top priority for me will be to reach out and grow our membership and leadership among the younger patriots in our region. I wish to thank the previous SATP officers for their efforts. I hope to see them united in the cause of MAGA in the SATP meetings or in SATP events.”

DCF’s Corruption and Collusion Destroying the Elderly in Florida
The recent Action News JAX story, dated April 28, 2025, covered the ongoing abuses of Florida Senior Citizens by way of “Public” and “Professional” guardians. Sadly, this story has been repeated many times throughout the state of Florida including a recent abuse of one of the earliest Saint Augustine Tea Party (SATP) members. We will use her first name only. Gerry joined the SATP in early 2011 along with her son. They came regularly to our Tea Party meetings.
In 2023, Gerry was “confiscated” by Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF), moved to a neighboring county (Flagler), and turned over to a “Professional Guardian” named Martha Smith. DCF accomplished this by filing a fraudulent petition with the Flagler County Court, according to the family. The family asserts that the association between Florida’s all-powerful DCF and various private money-making guardians and lawyers is at the heart of the problem.
Gerry’s son initially welcomed the help of a “professional” guardian to guide him through the process of taking on the duties of his anticipated new role. Martha Smith assured him that she would only be a temporary guardian, and that she would “step down” when a family member applied for permanent guardianship.
Upon discovering the fraudulent DCF petition, it was apparent Gerry’s son would have to oppose Smith’s Guardianship. Gerry and her son were out maneuvered by a system which consisted of the DCF working in close cooperation with professional guardians, a network of lawyers and Judge Andrea Totten. Martha Smith was appointed without any participation by Gerry herself.

Martha Smith used Gerry’s objections to confinement as an excuse to forbid all future outings with her son … including forbidding Gerry to attend church on Easter Sunday and also forbidding her from attending her own guardianship trial in April of 2024.
During 3 days of trial Gerry was never given the chance to testify in a case that would determine her future. A valid subpoena for Gerry to testify was served on Gerry’s court appointed attorney, Michael Kundid, which the Judge rejected. Instead the Judge accepted Kundid assertion that Gerry didn’t want to appear. An unchallenged hand-written note by Gerry stating that she wanted to testify, was also not admitted by Judge Totten:
“I don’t want to take drugs that alter my mind or mood.I want to attend court in person. I want to live in my own home. I want my son Bob as my guardian. I want to visit my home and my dog.” - Signed by Gerry on April 4, 2024
DCF joined Smith by accusing Gerry’s son of being “cruel” to his Mother by telling her the truth. Gerry would ask him,“Why won’t you take me to see my dog or my house?”. He would honestly reply “I can’t because Martha Smith has forbidden it”. DCF considered Bob telling Gerry the truth as “cruelty”.
Martha Smith had gained complete control and began spending Gerry’s life savings at an alarming rate. Before Smith took charge, Gerry’s liquid life savings was documented at just over one quarter million dollars (in addition to her million dollar home in Saint Augustine Beach). Yet within 16 months, Martha Smith was claiming, in a court filing, that “there is no money in [Gerry’s] bank account to manage the necessary property expenses”. Where did Gerry’s life savings of a quarter million dollars go in a short 16 months? Smith also began to petition the Court to dissolve Gerry’s family trust which included her son. Smith wanted to take the assets from the trust to continue spending at that same exorbitant rate. Family interests asked Smith for an accounting of her expenses and Smith has refused every time.
Gerry’s son has appealed this case to the Florida Supreme Court. A complaint has been with Florida’s Office of Public and Professional Guardians, and he has petitioned the Court to appoint a monitor to oversee Smith’s actions against Gerry. These are all pending at this time.
Of all the abuses in this case, the ones that stand out the most are the drugging, isolation, and suppression of Gerry’s own testimony in her own guardianship case. Florida’s “Standards of Practice” for guardians section (7)(e)(2) explicitly states:
“Substituted Judgment shall be used when making decisions on behalf of a ward ...”
The term “substituted judgment” means doing what the “ward” wants or is believed to have wanted if they were able to make their own decisions. Yet this was completely ignored throughout this case.
DCF’s corruption and collusion with the professional guardianship industry exposes tyranny at its worst. Massive amounts of wealth are being seized from those who are the least able to defend themselves, the elderly. We hope to alert the public, so in their righteous might, they demand that Governor Desantis and Florida’s Supreme Court strike a blow to this evil system that prohibits “Senior Citizens” the right to testify in their own guardianship trials.

The Beginning of the Awaking...
Lance Photos 4/15/2009
On April 15, 2009, a half a million people across America spontaneously rallied with the birth of the “Tea Party Movement”.
In North East Florida 5000 rallied at “The Landing” in Jacksonville. In St. Augustine 1000 rallied at the Castillo de San Marcos. The St. Augustine group would later form the Saint Augustine Tea Party. Its Town Criers are still on the job 16 years later.
“The Landing” would turn out to be the site of the first mega Trump Rally, in Florida. This occurred on October 24, 2015, with 20000 attending. Billy Tucker organized both the original 2009 Tea Party rally and the 2015 Trump rally. The Tea Party format, including Lee Greenwood, would become the signature of future Trump rallies. The Republican Neo-Cons were already at work on the future populist president.

The Tea Party Movement in 2009 was about “Taxed Enough Already” (TEA). The Tea Party promoted small government, fiscal responsibility and the constitutional governance. With Obama’s election the Communist’s cultural war expanded. The populist movement expanded with the times to become what is now known as the America First Movement.Trump Rally below

The State of the Two Party System
A popular opinion being presented by Republican politicians across social media is that the Democrat Party has been decimated and that the Republican Party is stronger than it has ever been.
TCCR Staff
To become the 45th President, Trump had to defeat both political parties, something neither party has forgiven. So when the new MAGA Patriots joined the RECs in 2021, they found that they were not always welcome in many of Florida’s 67 local REC organizations. There are reports of numerous turbulent meetings with the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) stepping in to maintain order and control.
TCCR Staff
TCCR Staff
In St. Johns County (SJC) for example, chaos erupted; security guards were deployed. This resulted in REC members being thrown out of meetings and members being denied access to meetings. The chaos prevailed for several years with several different REC Chairmen presiding. The chaotic meetings resulted in most of the newer REC members quitting the party early on. Those who stayed blamed the situation on the Chairman presiding at the time. MAGA holdouts failed to fully understand the nature of the grassroots “America First Movement” and the power structure of the Republican Party.
That power structure starts with 50 Republican state parties. Each state party franchises a local REC for each county in their state. The state parties also pick and send the people that form the Republican National Committee (RNC). RNC and the state parties are globalist in nature and are resisting the America First Grassroots Movement. The RPOF controls the money and makes the rules. The RPOF picks the national candidates and the principal local REC officers and Board members.
Instead of seeing the reality of the GOP power structure, the SJC-REC Patriots labored under the concept that “Grassroots Candidates” could win within the framework of the Republican Party. Grassroots is, by definition, that which is closest to the people—ALL THE PEOPLE, not just Republicans. Grassroots in a political party is an oxymoron.
Active SJC-REC members assert that the chaos had been eliminated. The SJC-REC broke records for calls to get the vote out for the recent special election on April 1, 2025.

The reason for the SJC-REC's return to normalcy is due to the fact the true grassroots patriots returned to real grassroots’ status. The RPOF’s newly appointed Chairman, Denver Cook, along with the support of the local “Old Guard,” removed the unwanted precinct committeemen and committeewomen from the REC. Even after being removed from the REC under the most questionable circumstances, the ousted REC members still look to local reasons for their rejection. They blame Democrat infiltrators or the radical “Indivisibles” for their failure to reform the Republican Party. The RPOF does not want some populist nobodies to interfere with their globalist agenda and they just proved it on a small scale in SJC.
The discord at precinct level is symptomatic of a general rejection of the two party system that exists in America today. The GOP doesn’t understand that the 77.3 million votes cast were not for the Republican Party. They were for Donald J. Trump. The 45th President did not fully understand the nature of the Republican Party’s true agenda. The 47th President does. One only need look at the grassroots reform-minded people he has assembled around the Presidency. It is not politics as usual; it is a revolution. Both parties are failing because they are not in touch with the people. Perhaps it is the right time to institute the concept of citizen governance as the founding fathers envisioned.
