Fed-up, frustrated and disenfranchised - Why Indigenous Canadians joined the freedom convoy

We are encouraged to believe that different experiences mean that some groups can never unite. The Freedom Convoy shows us the opposite is true.

Since a movement dubbing itself the 'Freedom Convoy' emerged at the end of January and headed to Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates for border crossings, labour leaders, the media and online activists have moved from perplexed to outright hostile. Some have even cheered on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement this week of plans to invoke the 1988 Emergencies Act to clear out the protests. But the impulse to defend freedom and self-determination has attracted a diversity of groups to the cause. The fact that many indigenous have joined in support of the protests tells us that the desire for freedom is a spark we would do well not to extinguish.

Throughout their time in the Canadian capital, the truckers have attracted support from a wide cross section of Canadian society including indigenous Canadians who make up about 5% of the Canadian population. Many members of my own family joined the convoy, making their way south to Ottawa from Northern Ontario. Some joined in at the capital. Indigenous people appeared in full regalia and others wore orange T-shirts symbolising protest against atrocities at residential schools. While some groups within the convoy undoubtedly held different ideas about the underlying causes, two clear demands have emerged: 1) end covid-related mandates, and 2) roll back forms of digital surveillance enacted since the start of the pandemic. Summed up in the demand for 'freedom', indigenous and non-indigenous participants alike emphasised that this was a cause shared by everyone, regardless of background.

Lie, cheat, steal, cry? US military intelligence overwhelmed by toxic workplace complaints according to retired pilot

Retired Air Force pilot Lt.Col. Ryan Sweazey has gone public with 30 witness statements from Defense Intelligence Agency personnel alleging the agency was not only a "toxic" workplace but a security risk after his attempts to seek justice within the agency were allegedly rebuffed.

The DIA's toxic culture is not only a "threat to national security," Sweazey told the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, but its actions are "alienating and disenfranchising our intelligence personnel while disrupting and degrading operations."

Sweazey collected the witness statements from members of DIA subsidiary the Defense Attaché Service on his own last year, submitting them to Congress himself after the DIA appeared to slow-walk its response to his official complaints. While the agency has issued a statement insisting it had "zero tolerance" for violations of professional standards, it reportedly has yet to act on any of the retired lieutenant colonel's or his interviewees' complaints, which largely focus on the service's European offices.

Israeli soldiers set dog on unarmed Palestinian

Israel's security forces have drawn condemnation after video surfaced of soldiers setting a military attack dog on a Palestinian man who appeared to have surrendered during a night-time arrest last week. The footage shows the dog run toward and jump at the man, who is holding his hands up behind his head.

According to Haaretz, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the incident occurred in the West Bank city of Al-Bireh near Ramallah last Monday. The paper noted that the Palestinian Authority's prisoners commission had identified the detainee as Malik Maala, a 19-year-old who works at one of the factories in the city's industrial area.

In the minute-long clip, which was released on Wednesday, soldiers are seen subduing and arresting Maala after the dog attack. The IDF told Haaretz that the dog had been muzzled and was only released to scare him. The soldiers had reportedly surrounded the compound and warned Maala to come out and surrender prior to the attack.

Common sense prevails: Court rules 'women' can't be redefined

The Scottish government has lost a legal battle over a gender representation law that "expanded the definition of women" to include transgender people. Women's rights activists had argued that the legislation violated "protected characteristics" related to sex in the UK's 2010 Equality Act.

The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled on Friday that the Scottish National Party (SNP) government had overstepped its authority when drafting the Gender Representation on Public Boards Scotland Act in 2018, which implemented 50% quotas for women on public sector boards.

Under the law, an individual "living as a woman" who plans to undergo (or has undergone) a "process for the purpose of becoming female" should be considered on par with biological women when filling these quotas. It invoked the "protected characteristic" of gender reassignment.

After Epstein "pimp" Jean-Luc Brunel found hanged in prison, Ghislaine Maxwell's family fears for her safety

Update (1944ET):
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat who served a stretch in federal prison and presumably knows a thing or two about how prisons work from the inside, has some questions now that Brunel has been found hanged in another apparent "suicide" tied to the Epstein case.

It's a mighty big coincidence that something like this could happen.

Comment: To call Jean-Luc Brunel's death-by-hanging a "coincidence" would be a massive understatement. The powerful agents responsible for coordinating these supposed "suicides" don't appear to have any difficulty covering their tracks and clearly have the ability to gain access to people, even behind prison walls. Prison is obviously not off-limits.

Maxwell's family therefore have good reason to be concerned over her safety, in spite of her morally reprehensible past and arguably pure evil behavior in concert with Epstein and other accomplices.

Leaked RCMP messages: "Time for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground"

rcmp police 0
In what appear to be authentic screenshots of the RCMP Musical Ride team currently in Ottawa to assist in the crackdown on peaceful protesters in the capital city, members brag about using brutal force.

Over the last 24 hours in Ottawa, police have deployed pepper spray and canisters on demonstrators, arrested dozens and trampled two people with horses.

Rebel News' Alexa Lavoie was brutally struck with a baton, shot at close range with a pepper canister which then broke, burning her face and eyes.

In the chat, RCMP Musical Ride member, Andrew Nixon sends a picture of a pint of beer hoping for his chance to abuse protesters:
"Don't kick all of them out until next weeks group gets our turn"
Member Robin Thibault remarks about accommodations police are being given in Ottawa:
"Nice Downtown in Chateau Laurier"
Nixon jokes about police brutality:
"Time for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground"

Trudeau's 'Kent State' moment? Elderly native woman trampled by mounted police at freedom protest in Ottawa

Mounted police in Ottawa endeavored to clear protesters with the Freedom Convoy from the streets on Friday. Following a charge by mounted police officers into a crowd of protesters, conflicting reports have emerged as to the condition of an elderly woman who was trampled.

According to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, the woman tramped by the mounted patrol may have passed away in the hospital. Others are reporting that the elderly woman is merely injured.

Based on footage available online, it appears at least one other protester was trampled.

Comment: More information to be had today, disputing the police statement:


Undeterred by such a PR disaster, the Ottawa Police, augmented by out-of-town forces who are concealing their names and places of origin, continue beating and arresting the protesters:
In the wake of the Trudeau administration invoking emergency powers that allow the police to act outside of their normal scope, authorities are moving in on downtown Ottawa on Friday, making arrests and, in some cases, being physically violent with protestors. Ottawa police have reported that at least 70 people have been arrested thus far.


In the video, police can be seen treating a protestor brutally. At one point, an officer rams his knee into the man's torso repeatedly, causing him to collapse eventually.


The next post comes from the Ottawa Police's Twitter account. The caption reads, "What you are seeing are Public Order Units in a line formation. Protestors are continuously being told to leave, or they face arrest. You will see the line slowly moving forward to give people who want to leave the opportunity to do so."


In the next video, an actual real-life example of police forcibly clearing people from the area is reproduced. People are seen standing their ground and pushing back against the police. One man shouts at them to "back up." Another man off-camera comments that these actions are "unconstitutional:"

Shockingly, although journalism is not covered by the Emergency Act, the police are also telling the media to "please keep a distance and stay out of police operations for your safety.


"Threatening to arrest reporters who cover your crackdown on political dissidents. Amazing," replied journalist and media personality Lauren Chen almost immediately to the tweet:


So far, according to the Ottawa police, there have been at least 70 arrests made and also 21 separate vehicles have been impounded, according to the Ottawa police. They also state that Nicholas Street has been "cleared" and that they are continuing to do the same on nearby Rideau Street:


In another video, police can be seen restraining a man who appears to have been pushed down onto the ground and into the snow by them. They then haul him up and shuffle him away unceremoniously:


Rebel News is a particular thorn in Trudeau's side. Apparentlyreporter Alexa Lavoie came in for special treatment from the cops, being hit in the throat with large stick. (Graphic):




To correct the record, it was a high-density foam bullet (as if that makes a difference).

Apparently she made the mistake of making Trudeau look bad on national television:

CNN slammed for use of inaccurate, emotionally loaded term in reference to East Jerusalem's Palestinian citizens

CNN Big lies
The US network called Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem "settlers"

CNN has provoked anger online after describing Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem as "settlers" on Tuesday. The term is strongly associated with right-wing Jewish people taking over lands in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories in violation of international law.

The report was about continued ethnic tensions in East Jerusalem over property rights and the effort to evict Palestinian residents from their homes through the Israeli court system.

The video report by CNN's Andrew Carey detailed the latest developments in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where, the initial description said, there are regular clashes between "Israeli nationalists and Palestinian settlers." The clashes were over "Jerusalem housing settlements," the headline stated.

Comment: The story of Sheik Jarrah is the story of another perfidy of Israel, and its refusal to honor an agreement that doesn't suit its goals of "Greater Israel"..

Five officials at a private Christian academy in Texas are facing felony charges over accusations they failed to notify authorities after a ninth-grader reported being sexually assaulted by an older student during a hazing incident on "freshman initiation day."

The three administrators and two athletic coaches at Midland Christian School are identified in an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by The Daily Beast as Superintendent Jared Owen Lee, secondary school Principal Dana Elizabeth Ellis, athletic director Gregory Neal McClendon, assistant secondary school principal Matthew David Counts, and baseball coach Barry Lee Russell.

"We are motivated in all facets by our faith in Jesus Christ, attempting to serve as a reflection of God's unconditional love for all people," Midland Christian's website proclaims. "We seek to honor the Lord in all that we do by operating Midland Christian School in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. It is important to us that every word and deed engaged in by Midland Christian School, its employees, representatives, volunteers, and students be consistent with and in furtherance of Midland Christian School's religious purposes: both publicly and privately."

What kind of 'left' attacks the working class as 'fascist,' and pushes FOR the 'vaccination' of the poor worldwide?

Sign at protest

It's not a "left" that serves the working class, nor anybody other than the globalists who manage it.

While all eyes have been on Canada, there also have been massive Freedom Convoys, and joyous multitudes applauding them, and turning out to help them, all around the world. We're seeing it (despite the usual blackout by the quisling media) in Australia, where 1.4 million vehicles, and between one and two million protestors, have taken over Canberra, Australia's capital, the people calling for an end to all restrictions, and the ouster of that once-free country's quisling politicians. There, too, the biggest protest in that nation's history has been just as peaceful as it is diverse — a wondrous mass display of solidarity, to re-assert our fundamental human rights, spontaneously led by many thousands of real workers.

So where's "the left"? Australia's "left" is on the other side — just like "the left" in the United States and Canada, there being no diversity among them, as they're all one in their boiling hatred of that mass resistance, and in fanatical support of the state/corporate juggernaut coercing universal "vaccination."
