Meet Lenka Koloma, an alternative medicine enthusiast based in California. This week Koloma began posing as a federal agent to oppose mask mandates in retail stores.
A bystander caught Koloma on camera in a grocery store located in Orange County, CA, and later uploaded the video to Instagram. Koloma told employees that she represented the Freedom to Breathe Agency, and threatened an employee of the store for enforcing rules that all employees and customers wear masks while in the store.

“We are with FTBA, the Freedom to Breathe Agency,” Koloma says in the video. “We are a We The People Organization making sure that people’s constitutional rights, civil and federal laws are not broken, okay? And so you personally need to take this to your manager because you personally can be sued for this, okay?”

“You’re probably paid $12 an hour or $15 an hour, okay?,” Koloma condescends. “But you are putting yourself into a major legal liability. You personally. Okay? You guys need to be careful.”
For the record, the Freedom to Breathe Agency doesn’t exist. Employees of a business can’t be sued for following store policies regarding masks, and businesses can’t be sued for denying service to customers who refuse to wear masks, either.
The New York Times had previously reported on Koloma earlier this summer, when she began passing out fake “mask exemption” cards to her followers. Since the video of her in Orange County went viral, she took to Instagram to defend herself.
“Message to all the haters that stormed my IG account today,” Koloma wrote. “Thank you. Thank you for showing your ignorance to what the United States of America stands for. Our republic was built on promises of freedom and personal liberty. I have lived in communism where the government dictates what you can and cannot do. You have no idea or reference. If you want to wear a face mask please feel free to do so. Just please allow others to make their own educated decision. If you cannot see through all the lies and corruption you are lost and asleep. For the rest of us, the true patriots, our fight goes on and you only bring the needed attention to our cause. So, thank you. Just remember that hate and anger will never bring you an inner peace. We feel for you and see that you are hurting for which we send tons of love and healing light your way because that’s who we are. Namaste.”
At present, California has more than half a million COVID-19 cases, and more than 10,000 people have died of the virus in the state alone.

You have to love her backtracking, now she’s saying if you want to wear a mask, feel free…..except she is out there lying and harassing employees of stores to try to force them to not wear masks.
She needs to be arrested.

Go follow her around, catch her in the act and make a citizen’s arrest! You seem to have a lot of free time. BTW, hope I haven’t missed another Ellen thread. I so enjoy your redundant posts about her.

@Neoprene
Sweetie, we already called out this screename as being just another name for the same old troll that seems to be obsessed with me.
As for this thread. I get it, you are desperately trying to deflect from a Trump supporting liar harassing a working person. Sounds about on brand for you.
Chrisk
I guess coming from a communist country has prepared you for the authoritarianism that you apparently still worship. Also, …”we send tons of love and healing light your way because that’s who we are. Namaste.”…Yeah, your boyfriends shirt speaks with so much love.
The giant hoop earrings, camo stretch pants and flip flops were a nice touch though. Very Peg Bundy. Although I don’t think that’s standard federal agent apparel. Lol
Mister P
Her freedom is also taken away when she is forced to wear clothes at the grocery store. I’m sure she wants to pick and choose which liberties she is willing to give up.
What she is really gave up is using her brain.

So when is Queerty going to post a write up about the “Karen” Terri Thomas? You know, the chick who threw a 54 year old woman to the ground who just had a liver transplant causing her to fracture her leg? All because she asked T.T. to wear her mask properly (she had it pulled down below her nose) while standing at the fax machine next to the one she was using. How come we haven’t seen anything about that “Karen” yet?
Now Koloma Karen here must not know how to use her critical thinking skills. That is if she has any. The government *already* tells you what you can and cannot do. That is one of the fundamental aspects of it’s existence. To make and enforce laws for the citizens it governs. How daft is Koloma to not realize that the right to whine about having to wear a mask is something the government says you can do?! They gave you that right. The laws that said you can enter this country and become a citizen; dictated by the government! It’s the government that says you can peddle your anti-vax, vegan, cancer can’t live in an alkaline body, Unleash The Supernatural Lenka Koloma Method scam for a profit. If she has a problem with stores and the government telling her what she can and cannot do why is she wearing clothes and shoes inside the store? If she uses a seatbelt; hypocrite! Stops at a red light while driving; hypocrite! Holds an anti-mask, freedom to breathe protest rally; hypocrite!
Every day this b***h does what the government says she can and can’t do. In fact, the right to be a stupid b***h and not have people smack you across the face for it is dictated by the government you’re protesting against.

Well, you’ve mentioned Terri Thomas repeatedly and now given us the full story, so I guess Queerty doesn’t have to. But what Terri Thomas was horrible and she should face assault charges and whatever penalties come her way.
Neoprene
I feel bad for the young store employee who seemed a bit lost. It would have been fun to see a more experienced person immediately call BS.
Cam
This same woman is one of those scam artists who claims she cured herself of a birth defect, cancer, infertility, etc…
It’s all about lining her pockets.
jayceecook
I swear somebody mentioned about an hour ago that she’s just running a scam for money. Deja Vu.
Cam
@jayceecook
LOL! Just went up a read that. touche!
Toofie
It’s exhausting. If she gets Covid, she’ll be the biggest crybaby.
lord.krath
I hope she faces consequences.

Only in America does this kind of crap happen

When this dumb idiot undoubtedly gets infected, she should be denied hospitalization if needed Bc she’s taking the bed of someone who truly deserves it
