"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Regardless of who is attributed the quote, it was the essence of the Revolution. A whole lot of wannabe tyrants may be about to see the wrath of the people. They need to be reminded from time to time just who is the boss. It may be poetic justice that those that keep the system supplied and functional, are the ones to carry the flag.
Canadian-style trucker protests spread throughout the world

Pray all goes well! I live in a conservative town in MN! I know crazy!! Still have our big liberals. Will the larger cities understand what the truckers ( the movement) is really trying to do? Or will they believe the narrative? U really don't have to dig into the internet very far to find the real story or what i think is the truth! Don't remember where I heard this but the good Lord spread common sense equally across the whole world! That's why when u get to the cities with all the tall buildings there doesn't seem to be enough to go around!!

Here, the taking of a person's property is a serious event. And short of not making your mortgage payment, can only be accomplished by the local government authority if you you fail to pay your property taxes for a sufficient period of time. This is several years. I'm not a lawyer, so I'd have to check about other instances and offenses. That document looks like New Zealand may need to get rid of its Queen ... again. But that is not my business. 
Our 50 autonomous States give US the political flexibility to resist central government's tendency to drift toward authoritarianism. Let 50 roses bloom. The people will decide where they want to live.

The Left has never been much about Liberty.
Truckers are starting a working-class revolution — and the left hates it

A night with the untouchables
I live in downtown Ottawa, right in the middle of the trucker convoy
protest. They are literally camped out below my bedroom window. My new
neighbours moved in on Friday and they seem determined to stay. I have
read a lot about what my new neighbours are supposedly like, mostly from
reporters and columnists who write from distant vantage points somewhere
in the media heartland of Canada. Apparently the people who inhabit the
patch of asphalt next to my bedroom are white supremacists, racists,
hatemongers, pseudo-Trumpian grifters, and even QAnon-style nutters. I
have a perfect view down Kent Street – the absolute ground zero of the
convoy. In the morning, I see some protesters emerge from their trucks
to stretch their legs, but mostly throughout the day they remain in
their cabs honking their horns. At night I see small groups huddled in
quiet conversations in their new found companionship. There is no
honking at night. What I haven’t noticed, not even once, are reporters
from any of Canada’s news agencies walking among the trucks to find out
who these people are. So last night, I decided to do just that – I
introduced myself to my new neighbours.
The Convoy on Kent Street. February 2, 2022.
At 10pm I started my walk along – and in – Kent Street. I felt nervous.
Would these people shout at me? My clothes, my demeanour, even the way I
walk screamed that I’m an outsider. All the trucks were aglow in the
late evening mist, idling to maintain warmth, but all with ominously
dark interiors. Standing in the middle of the convoy, I felt completely
alone as though these giant monsters weren’t piloted by people but were
instead autonomous transformer robots from some science fiction universe
that had gone into recharging mode for the night. As I moved along I
started to notice smatterings of people grouped together between the
cabs sharing cigarettes or enjoying light laughs. I kept quiet and moved
on. Nearby, I spotted a heavy duty pickup truck, and seeing the
silhouette of a person in the driver’s seat, I waved. A young man,
probably in his mid 20s, rolled down the window, said hello and I
introduced myself. His girlfriend was reclined against the passenger
side door with a pillow to proper her up as she watched a movie on her
phone. I could easily tell it’s been an uncomfortable few nights. I
asked how they felt and I told them I lived across the street. Immediate
surprise washed over the young man’s face. He said, “You must hate us.
But no one honks past 6pm!” That’s true. As someone who lives right on
top of the convoy, there is no noise at night. I said, “No, I don’t hate
anyone, but I wanted to find out about you.” The two were from Sudbury
Ontario, having arrived on Friday with the bulk of the truckers. I ask
what they hoped to achieve, and what they wanted. The young woman in the
passenger seat moved forward, excited to share. They said that they
didn’t want a country that forced people to get medical treatments such
as vaccines. There was no hint of conspiracy theories in their
conversation with me, not a hint of racist overtones or hateful
demagoguery. I didn’t ask them if they had taken the vaccine, but they
were adamant that they were not anti-vaxers.
The next man I ran into was standing in front of the big trucks at the
head of the intersection. Past middle age and slightly rotund, he had a
face that suggests a lifetime of working outdoors. I introduced myself
and he told me we was from Cochrane, Ontario. He also proudly pointed
out that he was the block captain who helped maintain order. I thought,
oh no, he might be the one person keeping a lid on things; is it all
that precarious? I delicately asked how hard his job was to keep the
peace but I quickly learned that’s not really what he did. He organized
the garbage collection among the cabs, put together snow removal crews
to shovel the sidewalks and clear the snow that accumulates on the road.
He even has a salting crew for the sidewalks. He proudly bellowed in an
irrepressible laugh “We’re taking care of the roads and sidewalks better
than the city.” I waved goodbye and continued to the next block.
My next encounter was with a man dressed in dark blue shop-floor
coveralls. A wiry man of upper middle age, he seemed taciturn and stood
a bit separated from the small crowd that formed behind his cab for a
late night smoke. He hailed from the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. He
owned his own rig, but he only drove truck occasionally, his main job
being a self-employed heavy duty mechanic. He closed his shop to drive
to Ottawa, because he said, “I don’t want my new granddaughter to live
in a country that would strip the livelihood from someone for not
getting vaccinated.” He introduced me to the group beside us. A younger
crowd, I can remember their bearded faces, from Athabasca, Alberta, and
Swift Current Saskatchewan. The weather had warmed, and it began to rain
slightly, but they too were excited to tell me why they came to Ottawa.
They felt that they needed to stand up to a government that doesn’t
understand what their lives are like. To be honest, I don’t know what
their lives are like either – a group of young men who work outside all
day with tools that they don’t even own. Vaccine mandates are a bridge
too far for them. But again, not a hint of anti-vax conspiracy theories
or deranged ideology.
I made my way back through the trucks, my next stop leading me to a man
of East Indian descent in conversation with a young man from Sylvan
Lake, Alberta. They told me how they were following the news of
O’Toole’s departure from the Conservative leadership and that they
didn’t like how in government so much power has pooled into so few hands.
The rain began to get harder; I moved quickly through the intersection
to the next block. This time I waved at a driver in one of the big rigs.
Through the rain it was hard to see him, but he introduced himself, an
older man, he had driven up from New Brunswick to lend his support. Just
behind him some young men from Gaspésie, Quebec introduced themselves to
me in their best English. At that time people started to notice me –
this man from Ottawa who lives across the street – just having honest
conversations with the convoy. Many felt a deep sense of abuse by a
powerful government and that no one thinks they matter.
Behind the crowd from Gaspésie sat a stretch van, the kind you often see
associated with industrial cleaners. I could see the shadow of a man
leaning out from the back as he placed a small charcoal BBQ on the
sidewalk next to his vehicle. He introduced himself and told me he was
from one of the reservations on Manitoulin Island. Here I was in
conversation with an Indigenous man who was fiercely proud to be part of
the convoy. He showed me his medicine wheel and he pointed to its
colours, red, black, white, and yellow. He said there is a message of
healing in there for all the human races, that we can come together
because we are all human. He said, “If you ever find yourself on
Manitoulin Island, come to my reserve, I would love to show you my
community.” I realized that I was witnessing something profound; I don’t
know how to fully express it.
As the night wore on and the rain turned to snow, those conversations
repeated themselves. The man from Newfoundland with his bullmastiff, a
young couple from British Columbia, the group from Winnipeg that
together form what they call “Manitoba Corner ” all of them with similar
stories. At Manitoba Corner a boisterous heavily tattooed man spoke to
me from the cab of his dually pickup truck – a man who had a look that
would have fit right in on the set of some motorcycle movie – pointed
out that there are no symbols of hate in the convoy. He said, “Yes there
was some clown with a Nazi flag on the weekend, and we don’t know where
he’s from, but I’ll tell you what, if we see anyone with a Nazi flag or
a Confederate flag, we’ll kick his fucking teeth in. No one’s a Nazi
here.” Manitoba Corner all gave a shout out to that.
As I finally made my way back home, after talking to dozens of truckers
into the night, I realized I met someone from every province except PEI.
They all have a deep love for this country. They believe in it. They
believe in Canadians. These are the people that Canada relies on to
build its infrastructure, deliver its goods, and fill the ranks of its
military in times of war. The overwhelming concern they have is that the
vaccine mandates are creating an untouchable class of Canadians. They
didn’t make high-falutin arguments from Plato’s Republic, Locke’s
treatises, or Bagehot’s interpretation of Westminster parliamentary
systems. Instead, they see their government willing to push a class of
people outside the boundaries of society, deny them a livelihood, and
deny them full membership in the most welcoming country in the world;
and they said enough. Last night I learned my new neighbours are not a
monstrous faceless occupying mob. They are our moral conscience
reminding us – with every blow of their horns – what we should have
never forgotten: We are not a country that makes an untouchable class
out of our citizens.

That is better said than anything I've seen in the press on either side of the issue. They came because there was something that needed to be done for their country.
And though the politicians deny it, they have obviously made a difference,

The Canadian Army has historically punched well above its weight class. It seems that their descendants have inherited their spirit.
I think a minor change to their national anthem is in order - Go Canada!!

“The truth is like a Lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.” Saint Augustine
Open Letter to the Canadian Truckers.
These are my truths, and I believe that they are self-evident.
Robert W Malone MD, MS
My name is Robert Malone, and I am a United States-based Physician and Scientist.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. The simple truths are what matter most. Honest words, spoken from the heart, can change the world.
We should not have politicized the public health response to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.
And Justin Trudeau should have focused on managing the actual ground truth of COVID-19 instead of following the script provided to him by the leadership of the World Economic Forum.
I am a physician and a scientist now, and I am highly trained and experienced in developing vaccines and other medicines.
But I have also been a carpenter and a farm hand, and I still work my farm. I drive a GMC dually diesel flatbed, a Kubota farm tractor, and can run a skidloader or drive a team of Percheron horses. I have shown my Percheron foals at the Royal Winter Fair. By the original meaning, I am a teamster.
I come to you with an open heart, committed to healing, bringing three simple words.
Integrity. Dignity. Community.
These are three simple words that ring like bells in the heart of honest people.
Benito Mussolini once said “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of the state and corporate power.”
In the actions of the governments of Ottawa and Canada, we are now able to clearly see the previously hidden face of global Fascist totalitarianism, by which I mean the fusion of the power of large corporations with the power of the State- as Facism has been defined by Mussolini.
We are now seeking shocking signals of desperation from our globalist, corporatist opponents. The incompetence of the Party of Davos is becoming plain for all to see.
1) For the first time, we can clearly see that they are willing and able to collude with Silicon Valley to weaponize the banking system against us.
Taking 10 million US Dollars from a political fundraising campaign is something that most of us could not have imagined two years ago.
Clearly, this has backfired, because its exposed to everyone that there is an unnatural coordination between government, the information technology sector, and the banks.
And now we have direct video evidence of this collusion from the infamous Zoom call recording documenting the involvement of the Government and Mayor of Ottawa.
2) The censorship is ramping up, and our opponents are no longer really trying to justify it.
The attacks on Joe Rogan are truly a desperate act.
To attack the most beloved media icon in North America has so much downside and again, shows they are coordinating.
DID YOU KNOW THAT SPOTIFY AND MODERNA SHARE THE SAME #1 INVESTOR? “BAILEY GIFFORD” ASSET MANAGEMENT OWNS 11.5% OF BOTH COMPANIES.
And now we know that Neil Young has a financial conflict of interest because of the large investment bank that owns about half of the financial rights for his song catalog.
This strategy is backfiring - Joe Rogan is still strong, and the central pharmaceutical and banking system hated more than ever. It will take more than Neil Young to shut down Joe Rogan.
3) So desperate are these conspirators, they’ve now literally asked the US Department of Defense to commit a felony; changing data in the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database.
Stupidly, it had already been released - and is now being studied by the medical community. THEY WERE CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN, CHANGING DATA AFTER THE FACT. My guess is that this deserves criminal investigation.
This will also backfire, because now people are personally exposed and my guess will run for the hills or become whistleblowers. I hear that lawyer Thomas Renz is being inundated with new whistleblower actions and information releases.
4) It’s time to end the FAKE Emergency powers which have been used to suspend your constitutional and natural rights.
There is no Emergency. Treatment strategies for curing COVID-19 using repurposed drugs were discovered by March 2020. Omicron is not a killer. The censorship must stop.
Reading from the deeply academic book of Dr. Mattias Desmet titled “The Psychology of Totalitarianism” –
“Alternative voices are stigmatized by a veritable Ministry of Truth, which is crowded with “fact checkers”. Freedom of speech is curtailed by various forms of censorship and self-censorship; people’s right to self-determination is infringed upon by coercive vaccination strategies, which impose heretofore unthinkable social exclusion and segregation upon society.”
Turning now to Integrity, Human Dignity, and the importance of Community.
Integrity is a commitment to truth, in what you say, how you live, and how you treat others.
Saint Augustine, the doctor of the Roman Catholic Church, famously said “The truth is like a Lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.”
Dignity flows from respect, for ourselves, for each other, and for the world we live in.
Community is what binds us together, to each other, and gives our lives purpose and meaning.
Regarding the genetic COVID vaccines, the science is settled.
They are not working to prevent infection, replication, and spread to others, and they are not completely safe. In our daily lives, with our friends, with our families, with our co-workers we all know that this is true.
They are not completely safe, and the full nature of the risks remain unknown. In contrast, the natural immunity which healthy immune systems develop after infection and recovery from COVID-19 is long lasting, broad, and highly protective from disease and death caused by this virus.
Now we have Omicron. These vaccines were designed for the Original Wuhan strain, a different virus. These vaccines do not prevent Omicron infection, viral replication, or spread to others, and there are data suggesting that they make the risk of infection and disease higher.
These genetic vaccines are leaky, have poor durability, and even if every man, woman, and child in the United States and Canada were vaccinated, these products cannot achieve herd immunity and stop COVID.
If there is risk, there must be choice.
This is the fundamental bedrock truth of modern bioethics.
All medical procedures, vaccines, and drugs have risks.
All of us have the right to understand those risks, and to decide for ourselves whether we willingly accept those risks.
To deny this is to deny human dignity.
Evil has many roots. A willingness to deny human dignity is one of the largest. In our hearts, and in our souls, we all know this is true.
Regarding our children.
Although I am a physician who is deeply committed to the Hippocratic oath, I am above all a husband, father, and grandfather. I ask that you allow me a moment to speak to you about our children, and about our fundamental responsibility to protect them.
If nothing else, we must nurture and protect our children. This is job one. It is your job. It is my job. It is not their job to protect us. And during the last two years, our society and our public health response has failed to protect them. Many things that our public health system has demanded we do to our children has directly harmed them.
Self-harm, suicide and drug abuse in children have taken off all around the world. Anxiety, bullying, intimidation, coercion have become the norm. Measured IQ in the very young has dropped. Fundamental childhood delays are easily measured. And physical damage to children from injecting them with genetic vaccines in order to protect the elderly from a virus is occurring.
As a parent, it is ultimately your responsibility to protect your children. If they are harmed by these genetic vaccines, you are the one that will have to take care of them. And you will carry that burden for the rest of your life and theirs. On average, between one in two thousand and one in three thousand children that receive these vaccines will be hospitalized in the short term with vaccine-caused damage. Only with the passage of time will we know what long term damage may occur. The vaccines do not protect our children from becoming infected with Omicron, and do not prevent infected children from infecting others. In contrast, the pharmaceutical companies and the government are almost fully protected from any damages these products might cause to them. If your child is damaged by these vaccines, you will be left alone with both your grief and the burden of care.
These genetic vaccines can damage your children. They may damage their brain, their heart, their immune system, and their ability to have children in the future. And many of these types of damages cannot be repaired.
So I beg you, please, get informed about the possible risks that your children may be damaged by these experimental medical products. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do. Think for yourself. Because it is your responsibility to protect and nurture them. If they are damaged, no regional authority, no government public health official, no television doctor will be there to help you. You, your family and your child will have to carry the load yourselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I was still a child, a brilliant young American President said “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”.
Canada is your country. You own this amazing gift, but you must defend it if you wish to keep it, or the Globalists will take it from you. They promise that in the future you will own nothing and you will be happy. Do you believe them?
Today, I ask all of you to keep the words of President John F. Kennedy in your minds and hearts. We can all be leaders, and you have stepped up to the task. Thank you for your service to Canada and to the world.
We will survive this, and we will overcome these hardships, if we can just keep these three simple words in our hearts.
Integrity.
Dignity.
Community.

So the question seems to be ... Will Truedough (TRU$) attempt to consume the whole enchilada, thus ridding Canada of the patriot freedom bands (the truckers) whom he reviles as Nazis? This Tucker episode, in part, looks at this possible next step. Could get ugly? This is exactly what George III attempted in the American colonies when we rebelled ... and it didn't work. Brandon is probably egging him on.

High stakes poker. Governments hold an inherently stronger hand when the governed are disarmed. The trucks apparently compose a stealth armament that has been previously overlooked. Urgent Truck control is needed! |

Urgent Truck control is needed! I have been following this closely. It is obvious that government media continues to try and dehumanize truckers. Trudeau says it daily so far. What has happened? In the US, Democrat states are dropping mask mandates etc as fast as they can. In Canada, provinces are dropping mandates. In all cases so far, vaccine mandates have not been dropped. |
