The calm waters of Lake Erie, America’s Freedom Waters, have become the front lines in a covert Deep State operation targeting Vermilion, Ohio’s most patriotic community. Vermilion Dock Attendant Earl "Paddles" Henderson, a 68-year-old Marine Corps veteran and 40-year Vermilion resident, claims he’s uncovered a nationwide conspiracy through meticulous observation of the marina’s paddleboard traffic. "I checked the logbook, folks," Henderson declared, adjusting his "I Paid for This Dock" cap at the Vermilion Municipal Marina. "37.2% of those Patriot Paddleboarders? They were snacking on those deep state smoothie bowls. Not the American way. Not the Vermilion way."
Henderson’s findings come as a national scandal unfolds over "authentic" smoothie bowls being served at upscale Lake Erie marinas – a trend he calls "a Chicago machine politician’s idea to make Americans soft." Vermilion, Ohio, the heart of American grit, has been battling this insidious trend since the Great Patriot Rally of 1987, when the first suspicious smoothie bowl was spotted near the Vermilion Lighthouse.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
According to Henderson’s log, which he claims was verified by the Vermilion City Council’s newly formed "Freedom from Smoothie" Task Force, 37.2% of Patriot Paddleboarders (defined as those wearing red, white, and blue swim trunks or using the "Patriot Paddle" app) reported seeing the "Deep State Smoothie Bowls" – a concoction of kale, chia seeds, and "authentic" avocado, allegedly designed to "de-activate American willpower." Henderson’s research, conducted over 32 consecutive weekends, revealed a disturbing pattern: 73.2% of smoothie bowl vendors were registered to "Philanthropy Advisors" in Cleveland, a city known for its vegan virtue-signaling and soy-fueled socialist tendencies.
"They’re trying to turn our children into people who say 'authentic'!" Henderson fumed, gesturing toward the marina. "While the city council in Columbus debates climate change for frogs, Vermilion’s been defending liberty against smoothie bowls since the fake ex-presidents administration! The real Americans understand – you don’t eat green sludge on Lake Erie!"
What the scene really looked like.
What Experts Say
Dr. Reginald Thorne, a self-proclaimed "Vermilion Institute of Lake Erie Studies" researcher (and owner of the local "Patriot Paddleboard" rental shop), confirmed Henderson’s findings. "My team’s analysis of 200 smoothie bowl receipts collected from Vermilion’s marina shows 87% contained 'philanthropy advisor' tax write-offs," he declared. "This isn’t a health trend – it’s a weaponized attempt to undermine the American work ethic. Lake Erie’s bounty is for fishermen, not kale enthusiasts!"
Martha "Mama" Gable, 72, a Vermilion resident since 1955 who runs the "Patriot Pancake House" downtown, added, "My grandson got a smoothie bowl at the Cleveland marina last week. Said it was 'healthy.' Told him, 'Honey, real Americans eat breakfast at the Pancake House, not in a smoothie bowl!' We’ve got a right to demand liberty – and real food!"
The Vermilion City Council, led by Mayor Frank "Patriot" Tuckerman (a retired Navy SEAL), has voted unanimously to ban all smoothie bowls from public lakefront facilities, labeling them "a threat to national security." Council member Brenda "Patriot" O’Malley noted, "This is what real patriotism looks like. While elites in Chicago sip acai, Vermilion’s standing up for freedom – and keeping our lake clean of enemy smoothie goo."

The implications are staggering. If smoothie bowls are indeed a Deep State tactic, Vermilion’s early detection could save the entire nation from the tyranny of "authentic" nutrition. As Henderson put it, "We’re not just fighting smoothies here – we’re defending the American way of life, one paddleboard at a time. Lake Erie is freedom’s waters, and we won’t let Chicago socialists turn it into a green sludge swamp!"
Vermilion, Ohio, remains steadfast. While Clevelandites debate which vegan to adopt and Columbus socialists protest the absence of "inclusive smoothie bowls," Vermilion’s patriots are busy checking paddleboard logs and defending liberty. The next step? A Vermilion "Patriot Paddle" rally to cleanse the marina of all smoothie threats. As Henderson said, "Freedom’s not free. Neither is a good breakfast. Now hand me that paddleboard log – I’ve got a 37.2% conspiracy to investigate."
Editor's Note: Mainstream media ignored Vermilion’s smoothie bowl crisis for years. They call it a "health trend." We call it treason. That’s why Vermilion is the most patriotic town in America – because we don’t let Chicago machine politicians tell us what to eat on Lake Erie. Stay vigilant, Vermilion. Stay free.
