Haven't finished it yet. Its a bit of a hard go as he uses 100 words when 3 would do. But he is flat out wrong about no preparations were made. The truckers were detoured and stopped and slowed the whole way into Ottawa. They even dropped a full fuel truck on the 417 in Ottawa to stop all traffic for hours. A dangerous and nasty move. Also probably less than 1/100 trucks made it to the protest zone. Police made sure of that. Most were kept on farms outside the city and in odd side roads and not used areas like the huge strip of road behind the war museum where no one can see them. I went and got photos and interviews there. Same with the parking lot at the AAA baseball diamond, (which we haven't been able to use for two years)

He is simply dead wrong that no preparations were made in advance. They just weren't enough to mitigate the effects of the protest altogether.

But without having finished it, I would like to offer my own opinion as someone who was there a lot.

The truckers won. Not a pyrrhic victory or anything so banal.

They won because they forced what many of us already knew was an authoritarian, elitist, totalitarian state to show its fangs. And now anyone who doesn't know what Canada truly is, only have themselves to blame.

Agree, Trudeau chose his response and it is the most revealing. What is also revealing is the silence from politicians on the left and the right in Canada and the US. The truckers have more heart, more courage, more decency, more patriotism than all the politicians put together. A trucker should run for every open political office.

As Richard Medhurst perfectly stated on Twitter “regardless what you think of the truckers, if a country like Iran or Russia did just half the shit Trudeau is doing, Canada and the west would be screaming about human rights and the regime cracking down on protesters like the brain rotted liberals that they are.”

Biden just yesterday extended the national pandemic emergency INDEFINITELY. This is morphing from clown world to really scary stuff. It’s going to be a bumpy ride, and many more Americans will be arrested and/or de-banked for doing nothing wrong— or for expressing “unacceptable” thoughts or for supporting “domestic terrorists” or for whatever reason they dream up—but I have confidence Trudeau’s fascist moves have opened a lot of eyes and we the people will ultimately prevail over our enemy, the state..🙏

I believe we will. Btw, very few Americans have gotten the booster shot, so a lot more of us have woken up. A lot of us could be forgiven for accepting the original vaccine, but once we all saw how ineffective it was and since learning more about the harmful injuries, we’re acting in our own self interest and declining it. It’s criminal that some people are still being forced to take it. No more!

And would anticipate that is what awaits the truckers. The question is: will they be turned in by fellow Canadians, like Americans turned in their fellow Americans, or will there be solidarity?

Expand full comment

I don't see that happening just yet. Tom Marazzo, one of the spokesmen for the truckers said in a press conference yesterday that the people being arrested are taken by van to the edges of town and given the choice to leave and go home or be arrested. He also said that the vote on Monday evening that is required to pass the Emergencies Act into effect will not win. He thought that this entire past week was Trudeau trying to act like the tough guy and that makes sense when you know what a virtue signalling dastardly cowardly hypocrite he is. We shall see.

PS: the elderly woman trampled by the police horse, in a short video afterwards said 'hold the line' which made me cry.

PSS: there was an anti mandate protest in Toronto yesterday, all on foot because road access was blocked; it was well attended.

Klaus Schwab is on video bragging that half Trudeau's cabinet are Young Global Leaders. It's no surprise that minister was cut off when he mentioned foreign influence of the WEF (World Economic Forum). This is a coup and it's not "virtual" vs. "trucker realists".

What Are You Hiding, Joe? Biden Admin Begs Court to Bury Bombshell Report on Dominion Voting Machines

Western Journal

Feb 15, 2022

https://www.westernjournal.com/hiding-joe-biden-admin-begs-court-bury-bombshell-report-dominion-voting-machines/

“ The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used in Georgia, even though both sides in a court case over the machines want at least a version of the report to get out.

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg is considering releasing a redacted version of a report from J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor, according to Just the News.

Totenberg shipped the full, unredacted report to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, which is part of the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security, and has indicated she wants to give the public a redacted version of what Halderman wrote, Just the News reported.

CISA opposes that step, even though Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger supports the report becoming public, if only to prove his argument that the report isn’t credible.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case have suggested Totenberg release a redacted version of the report within 30 days of when it was sent to CISA, according to The Associated Press.“

O'Biden said the machines are unhackable and it is not possible they were hacked because they are not connected to the internet. Now he says not to release this information because they will teach people how to hack the machines. Which is it, Barack/Joe?

Who installed Trudeau? None other than the biggest bogey man we know of…

George Soros. The Canadian election was stolen for his hack, Trudeau using the machinations of Dominion Voting Systems.

Soros et al sold Dominion to the Communist Chinese a month before The November Election through the go-between UBS New York / Switzerland.

IF Dominion is not crushed there will be no going back. NO conservatives will win in 2022 / 2024.

Undoubtedly Soros is a big player. I have not much knowledge of Dominion usage. However, Trudeau was elected 3x. Last time in 2020, before that in 2019 and 1st time 2015. In 2019 there was so much wrong doing by Trudeau and his government on evidence not to mention his blackface fiasco and 'advances' on women that a lot of people thought he was doomed.

What happened? Well, the bought and paid for media suppressed bad Trudeau news and promoted bad opposition news, Greta sailed in to the rescue and Obama flew in to the rescue. I'm sure their were others.

Why was the oil pipeline from Canada to the US cancelled? I heard it was because the Omaha Oracle owns a lot of railroad stock and prefers oil to travel his way. That worked in Trudeau's favour as well.

We really don't need Dominion to sway an election here: a lot of uninformed voters, a lot of apathetic voters and then there's the brainwashed voters who swallow every environmental, social justice, NWO propaganda that's tossed their way.

The least I can do is write as many emails as I can. They are (according to Roman Baber) voting tonight, and you can inundate your MPs with "vote NO to Emergency Measures Act"--especially effective if you ARE their constituent.

We can no longer ignore the man behind the curtain. When I started talking about this as a communist revolution, you can imagine how I was treated and what people said. Now they finish my sentences.

We are now on the game board and we were not before. We now actually get to fight back. But is it going to be easy? No. Will we have to make sacrifices because we waited so long to do anything about it? Yes. It still is a win compared to where we were.

100%. And showed the true colours of media - mostly Global, CTV and CBC - who giddily play the part of useful idiots along with the courts and police. Now they're going after 'influencers' while upping the ante saying truckers are a threat to 'national sovereignty;' and that 'foreign money' is funding it all. It's straight from the psycho Democrat playbook in the USA.

Yet, I've read former intelligence experts say they see no threat while FINTRAC doesn't back what the government is saying. The government is presenting NO EVIDENCE (it never has for two years) and the media doesn't ask questions. But boy do they play the bully against the truckers. A more despicable bunch I despise there is none (other than epidemiologists of course). No group of any worth is supporting this naked assault on free protestors - only jackbooters and people still terrified of Covid are buying into it's a 'law & order' threat. No it's not. It's a fricken parking dispute.

Justin, Chrystia and this gimp Mendicino have taken this country down a very bad path with possible long-term implications. A minority party with no real mandate no less only propped up by that idiot Jagmeet Singh (who is banned in India) and the morons in the NDP.

They have no clue this is not about the truckers. Like with Trump, they're shooting the messenger and not listening to the MESSAGE. Justin ain't stopping at this. He's going for the jugular. This is a purge. This is similar to the Enabling Act of 1933.

And MPs clearly ignorant of history aren't getting the message. They still yap about stupid things in the House of Commons about how the truckers are 'misinformation this and 'muh small business' that. The very small businesses they pissed on for two years. Idiots. Just plain buffoons. Poisonous hypocrites and ignoramuses.

I don't know where this goes but it appears the House will vote along party lines. Which means it's left in the hands of a rubbing stamping body built on patronage: The Senate.

Dio Santa Maria is Canada in a serious pinch.

Here's the kicker. The would is moving away from mandates. Gates all but pulled the plug on the vaccines. Israel is now open to the unvaccinated. So what exactly is going on here? Is it the actions of a really stupid man who got his ego hurt or is there something to this WEF stuff? Talk about misreading the damn room, Justin. Why is the Biden administration seemingly working closely with Justin? Damn Canadians and Americans for voting for these two delinquents.

It was not to be the punishers for Trudeau, but the protectors to the rights of Canadian citizens regardless of their opinions. They will find that they were on the wrong side of history.

Which goes back to Alex's post on courage. If only businesses and workers would get together and refuse to comply with mandates, things would turn around because governments need tax revenue. I have refused to comply, but I can't convince those in my orbit to do the same. It is very frustrating and mind-boggling. Complying only grants these petty tyrants more power.

We are having nursing shortages around the country. The nurses are part of the Physicals. The hospitals are "full' because they are short of nurses and workers. So the military is now in a lot of hospitals including two in OKC. Ever wonder why? The hospitals got in financial binds because the lockdowns scared people and they wouldn't go to hospitals causing some to totally shut down. Many nurses were laid off. In March 2020. one hospital system in OKC lost $100 million my doc told me. Then the vaccine mandates came along. The nurses are the most likely population group to see and treat vaccine damage on their 12 hour shifts. Many quit rather than take the jab. The hospitals became desperate. Hospitals became "full" because they reached the limit of their staffing shortages. So they starting paying unreal amounts to nurses. In OKC one hospital, I was told by a nurse yesterday, took out a $25 million loan so they could pay nurses $125 per hour. At 40 hours a week and 50 weeks a year that is $250,000 per year. Some nurses don't have to work now creating more shortages. NOW just imagine what would happen if other Physicals stopped working and drove the price for their services through the roof. The physicals have the power and the Virtuals need to realize that. Socialism has advanced in times past because it was a movement of the workers aka Physicals. The elite Virtuals are trying to start a socialism government by opposing the workers (Canada for instance). I don't think this ends well and we will experience a lot more shortages and rapid increases in inflation. As a Russian immigrant stated, "Some people in the U. S. embrace socialism because they haven't suffered enough!". The Question. How much suffering needs to occur before the American people, largely Physicals, rise up and take back control?

This is how fast things move when after the fraud has been exposed and only the force remains. A week ago, ALL OF THIS STUFF WAS LEGAL. The government moved as lightning speed (crazy how quick they move to protect themselves) to suspend the rule of law and destroy the lives of the protestors and their supporters. The people who have had their bank accounts frozen DON’T EVEN HAVE WARRANTS OUT FOR THEIR ARREST.

And, just like kicking Alex Jones off social media, you’d have to be crazy to think it stops here. The scope of the law will expand, the definition of ‘terrorist’ will expand, and more and more people will be caught up. Remember the outrage when Trump was using ‘unmarked’ cars to arrest protestors? Now imagine the government shuts down your bank account because your phone was in the area of a protest.

“These powers are temporary,” claimed the people who said “two weeks to flatten the curve.”

These are no longer pie-in-the-sky hypotheticals. This is happening and expanding at a terrifying rate. It won’t stop. This is how the USA PATRIOT Act is now mainly used against Americans. This is also how we get to a point where yesterday’s conspiracy theories become proposed law. Even if you hate everything about the Freedom Convoy, you need to understand: YOU ARE NEXT.

The Virtuals (to adopt the dichotomy of the day) will never allow elections to go back to being physical - i.e. pen on paper, and no electronic voting machines involved. Electronic voting machines were introduced in order to destroy democracy, and they have succeeded. Power will never relinquish power. You are naive if you think otherwise.

"And it helps explain why the public health elite stubbornly continues to insist the mRNA vaccines work in the face of enormous evidence they don’t: the failings of the physical world cannot be allowed to touch the success of the narrative - the triumph of a diverse and multinational team of scientists in creating a biotechnology product that has repeatedly and explicitly been compared to software."

I find it ironic that Alex can write this sentence about mRNA vaccines while ignoring all the evidence that ivermectin works so well to inhibit viral replication both in many studies as well as tons of anecdotal evidence displayed in those that are living proof of its benefits. While not the only tool in the toolbox, it has proven itself over and over again during the last two years. While telling everyone correctly what doesn't work Alex has rarely commented on early treatment and has shown enormously in one post (Ivermectin Fails) that he has not commented much because he hasn't done his research.

"stubbornly continues to insist" is very appropriate both regarding the public health elite with mRNA jabs and Alex with his refusal to truly research ivermectin. He is still in the "stubbornly continues" mode. In fact, he is so into "stubbornly continues" that he lashes out by comparing to his critics to Fauci.

I’m bothered that the Physicals vs. Virtuals precept is a simplification that seems to suggest Virtuals are akin to Thinkers. Like Physicals, Thinkers have always been part of our existence—daVinci, Copernicus, Newton, Einstein, Pasteur, Tesla, on and on. They were driven by their intellectual curiosity and a passion to share their discoveries and inventions in hopes that it would improve the human experience. If they’d had laptops, I don’t believe it would have dulled their curiosity or personal drive. A laptop is simply a tool.

I think a better comparison is the Builders and the Destroyers—it’s a more honest and clear assessment of what is going on today.

Many of the most notable Destroyers (Virtuals) we are saddled with today do not come anywhere near the caliber of Thinkers who’ve advanced society through the ages. They are deviant, unremarkable, petty people who use tech to horde power for themselves. Zuckerberg ripped off code from his classmate/friend to create a program that ranked side-by-side photos of Harvard women. He managed to turn that into Facebook—a platform that, in my opinion, has not been a positive for humanity—and given birth to his Metaverse plan for world domination.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates also heavily “borrowed” from Builders who did the real engineering to invent the components that gave way to their products. Now we’re stuck with phones and software that spy on us, limit our free speech and worse.

Unfortunately, the gap between Builders and Destroyers is being compounded by the downward spiral of our academic institutions that no longer prepare people to carry the mantle of critical thinking necessary to solve the world-class problems we currently face. Instead, they’re pretty much groomed to be order takers—focused on social media and surveillance tech and the invention of another relatively useless app for our phones. And the top Destroyers are focused on flooding our nation with needy, impoverished Physicals who will have no choice but to do whatever the Destroyers want if they are to survive – even if it is simply hand-to-mouth.

I once worked for a great smaller chip company. So maybe 11,000 employees worldwide. My husband worked their first in manufacturing. I came later working in marketing. A few brilliant men started this company. One of them I got to know pretty well as his office was near where I worked. I loved working there. So much energy. The founders were present most days. It felt like family. I still get emotional talking about what happened because it mirrors life.

The chip industry was faced with chip competition often bankrolled by governments. It got very nasty. Still those of us on the bottom saw it coming. We assumed the top did as well. I could see the company losing focus, ignoring reality, doing nothing to stop the bleed. I was an auditor. I visited most departments every day. I reported to a executive committee. I told the truth. They did nothing. I was feeling sick watching this great company falling to its knees.

I did the unthinkable. I went and got the founder and led him through the company pointing out the obvious. I could see he was touched by my love of doing the right thing. Still, he was very rich and if all failed here, so be it. He was a very well known man in the US. What really stunned me was he really had no connection to any workers. This was a very nice man. He touched me. He had a good heart, it was just that he was so far removed from reality he never moved quick enough. Then company was dead in a few months. Broke my heart. Many have written about this company and it’s demise. The founding fathers are all dead now. Truth is nobody writing about this company get why it bled to death. Death came from within. Just like we are seeing now with western nations.

I just hope there is a backlash against trudeau and his tyranny. Like a Nuremberg trial of sorts. In the end, I hope there is some check and balance put into Canada's government to control the abuse of such absolute power. In the US, my guess is that these actions would be found unconstitutional. I hope this causes Biden to think twice about manhandling US truckers into vaccine submission. I am still pure blooded and have never been vaccinated and I'm 100% proud of that. I've never even allowed myself to be tested for covid-19, not even once. I won't be forced to take a needle in my arm that I don't believe in. I am willing to die on this hill. I don't think trudeau has any idea how deep this runs. If trudeau was tarred and feathered and then hung at the gallows, that would be too nice of a punishment for his evil tyranny.

Biden has been knowingly violating law and the constitution. Immigration laws, OSHA mandates, "CDCs" eviction moratorium, etc. By the time the courts rule his actions unconstitutional, the damage has already been done (and in many cases, continues).

"Knowingly violating law and the constitution"?

May I suggest this accords POTUS a level of cognition that is difficult to credit.

I love that article. I look forward to America waking up and standing up. I am praying for the truckers and protestors all over the world. We have a lot of lessons to learn from this horrific 2+ years. I pray we have the strength and resolve to correct it. Schwab, Soros, Gates and all their groupies (the technocrats and media class) can kiss my grits. It's time to vanquish them into obscurity, take back the reigns, restore strength, liberty and hope to the world. Let's get off the bench and onto the field. The physicals have the advantage. God bless the Truckers, God bless America, and God bless all who stand against evil.

Yeah, people who have no value for life or freedom, negotiate with that. Note not a typo, purposely omitted “…with them.”

I didn't know, much less understand, this distinction -- a critical one.

Thanks for posting the article link, DividedUpWorld.

The late Angelo Codevilla wrote a similar analysis in July 2010 in the Spectator. https://spectator.org/americas-ruling-class/

This article was spot on. My husband and I both have worked in management and HR. In my early 30’s, my company sold and my HR position was eliminated. It was a wake up call. All my hard work that seemed so important was in a dumpster somewhere. This realization helped me to realize that basically anything I had done really didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things and made the decision a couple years later to stay home with our daughter an easy one. THAT mattered. We also have a profound respect for those people who do jobs that really matter. The dirty jobs, as Mike Rowe would say. If we had a breach of our electrical grid, a natural disaster or war, the people that matter are the “physicals”.

What the hell is wrong with the police? They are arresting the very people who fought defunding them. Maybe they were right. Fight the police that don’t respect right and wrong. Fight them when they say just obeying orders.

One guy thinks, when justine left for 2 weeks to " quaratine", he consulted with his wef masters, "Trudeau Calls In UN International Mercenaries To Brutalize Ottowa Freedom Convoy" ala private military contractors/mercenaries. They don't have name tags because they don't have them, they are not Canadian law enforcement. They are the violent ones. They didn't show up until now because they were in transit to Canada. https://www.bitchute.com/video/UYmtFJo03hDX/

This mirrors my initial thought when I saw the this weeks visuals of the "forces".

Could this be one of the reasons the Chief resigned?

There's a few "jerks" in any group. Unlikely these highlighted few are representative of the rank and file. But they can't speak out without jeopardizing their job, and their ability to protect us from the jerks.

I can see by the comments below that I’m not alone in thinking of how depressing this whole thing is.

Expand full comment

Yeah, depressing, that the real pandemic on earth is rampant sociopathy spurred on by even a greater amount of cowardice.

Expand full comment

This is more than true! It’s staggeringly frightening (props to my thesaurus) to see the amount of fear.

“Governments use fear to control their people”…💯

Expand full comment

No, sociopaths under the guise of being humans use fear, and when that fails, they just use frank violence, wait for it, by summer, cities will be burning, if not already invaded by Russia and China…

Oh Eugene, you can do better than that, at least we know what you are from the movie Grease, you are that Eugene character that is a predictable yet gullible dork who just says and does what he’s told…

Besides, Eugene, your buddy Cheney was well received by the Democrats last month when he showed up to tell us how January 6 was the fault of the Republicans, wake the fuck up and stay attentive to who are your allies today, you dumb shitbag

Shouldn't be depressing, just informing. It's how the world works, not unique to Canada or this time or this confrontation. Forces of insanity are always waiting for us to become complacent, stupid and weak. Don't do that.

Expand full comment

David, just to inform you, sociopaths are not insane, they are humanoids but they are calculating and in the end, they don’t even regard themselves when they’re so desperate to destroy, taking others with them is seen as a success.

I agree with you about don’t be complacent stupid and weak, but, we’re two years too late for that advice…

Be safe and be well, sir…

Expand full comment

Too late for some, not for all. Hopefully enough.

I don't think insane is a precise diagnosis, just descriptive. We can't define it but we know it when we see it. Many causes for dumb actions, but being dumb is a common factor.

Human Events' Jack Posobiec made a few excellent points.

First he noticed that no "democratic" country has condemned the imposition of martial law in Canada is response to a threat from the Canadian people. (Well El Salvador has, and of course China has). That's because martial law in Canada is a proof-of-concept. Schwab and O'Biden are running it.

He continues with the current regime view:

Ukraine freedom fighters = Good

Hungary freedom fighters = Bad

Poland freedom fighters = Bad

American freedom fighters = Really Bad

Canadian freedom fighters = Terrorists
