Was the hacking of Ottawa trucker convoy donors a US-Canadian intelligence operation?

aubrey cottle trucker convoy hack
Aubrey Cottle, the hacker claiming credit for stealing convoy donor info, has boasted of work with the FBI and Canadian law enforcement. The data was published by DDoSecrets, an anti-Wikileaks non-profit which has targeted states in the crosshairs of US intelligence.

On February 13th, the names and personal details of almost 100,000 individuals who donated sums to support the Canadian truckers' protest against vaccine mandates through the crowdfunding site GiveSendGo appeared online via Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), an online archive seeking to easily connect journalists and researchers with leaked information.

The mainstream media used the trove to frame the convoy as essentially foreign-funded, and harass small donors from average backgrounds. Numerous fascinating nuggets, such as the gifting of $215,000 by a donor whose identity, email, IP address and ZIP code was not recorded by the website, unlike every other giver, were in the process ignored.

The hack-and-leak represented just the latest broadside against the convoy activists. Hours later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau activated the Emergencies Act for the very first time in Canadian history, an unprecedented move effectively suspending the civil rights of the protesters and granting federal law enforcement the power to seize their bank accounts without a court order.

The naked face of New Normal fascism

I told you this part wasn't going to be pretty. The collapse of fascist ideological movements and fanatical death cults never is. The New Normal is proving to be no exception.

After three weeks of non-violent civil disobedience outside the Canadian parliament in Ottawa by truckers and other Canadian citizens struggling to uphold their right to not be subjected to forced "vaccination," Justin Trudeau unleashed the goon squads. Thousands of militarized riot police (and other unidentified heavily-armed operatives) swarmed the area, surrounded the protesters, started breaking into trucks and arresting people, and beating them with batons and the butts of their rifles.

In one particularly ugly episode, the New Normal stormtroopers rode their horses directly into a crowd of non-violent protesters, trampling an elderly lady with a walker. She had just finished saying something to the police along the lines of "you break my heart ... this is about peace, and love, and happiness." Then they knocked her down and rode their horses over her.

Despite an abundance of video evidence clearly depicting exactly what happened, the Ottawa Police tried to spin it this way ...

The owners of the Iconic Cafe, Enrico and Deborah Kuhn, near Parliament in Ottawa are being harassed by police and threatened with arrest for staying open while the Freedom Convoy was in the city.

The police tried to get into the Iconic Cafe, a small business that commited the crime of serving coffee to the truckers, to arrest the owners. They were scared off by a citizen live streamer, for now I'm on the scene and will there when the police come back

A banana republic without the warm weather

I've been fortunate enough in my life to never have to live through the carnage that's been unleashed on the streets of Ottawa in the past three weeks.

A child tripped in a Minion bouncy castle. A French Canadian chap burnt his tongue on his hot chocolate. There was even a report of a back flare-up from one of the late-night dance parties.

Even so, it's a difficult image to square with the one presented by Justin Trudeau and his cabinet members of a lawless war zone steps from Parliament Hill.

The Liberals have warned that democracy is under threat outside of Parliament. The real assault on democracy is taking place inside. Or at least it was until today, when the House of Commons cancelled a sitting due to the anticipated "police operation" against the Freedom Convoy demonstrators.

Suspending the democratic process is cause for alarm at the best of times, but even more so when the subject to be debated was Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act.

Texas lieutenant governor proposes ending tenure to stop critical race theory

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Friday he wants to end tenure for professors at public universities in Texas to prevent them from teaching critical race theory.

The lieutenant governor made the comments during a Friday press conference days after the University of Texas at Austin passed a faculty resolution supporting faculty rights to teach critical race theory. As lieutenant governor, Patrick serves as the president of the Texas Senate and therefore is heavily involved in legislative matters, including efforts to ban the controversial theory that says American institutions and culture are systemically racist and oppressive to racial minorities.

The Dallas Morning News reported Patrick said the professors at UT
"don't understand that we in the Legislature represent the people of Texas. We are those who distribute taxpayer dollars. We are the ones who pay their salaries, parents are the ones who pay tuition. Of course we're going to have a say in what the curriculum is."
Patrick, a Republican, is running for reelection as lieutenant governor, and he has made opposing critical race theory a part of his campaign after successfully working to ban the theory in K-12 public schools last year.

Canadian troops investigated for supporting trucker protests

Canadian service members taking part or voicing support for the trucker protests against vaccine mandates are being investigated, according to a Canadian news outlet.

The National Post reported this week that nine members of Canada's military have been "identified" as either allegedly taking part in the protests or voicing support on social media, and that military police have launched two investigations.

Canadian National Defense spokesman Dan Le Bouthillier told the outlet that Canadian troops are expected to adhere to rules and established codes of conduct.

He told the Post:
"Those who disregard these principles not only demonstrate an extreme lack of understanding of the military profession, they undermine the very foundation the Canadian Armed Forces. Any member of the armed forces who brings discredit to the CAF through either conduct or performance deficiencies, be it through actions or words, will be held accountable."
Consequences could include discharge from the military.

The Post reported that some of those being investigated are already in the process of leaving the Canadian Forces, since they have refused a requirement to be vaccinated.

Comment: Everyone is deemed a criminal under emergency powers.

#BlackfaceHitler trending on Twitter for two days straight amid Trudeau's freedom crackdown

Trudeau, pre-woke
#BlackfaceHitler has trended on Twitter for two consecutive days amid Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's crackdown on the freedom protests in Canada.

The hashtag trend was ignited by a series of moves targeting the pro-freedom demonstrators. Earlier last week, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to clamp down on the Freedom Convoy protesters demonstrating against the government's COVID-19 restrictions. The suppression has led to arrests, the freezing of financial accounts, and even officials treatening to confiscate the pets of detainees.

High-profile figures in other countries have taken notice with all eyes on Ottawa.

UK conservatives have surrendered to the insane, woke Left

The Conservative Party's co-chairman, Oliver Dowden, was in Washington this week, giving a speech at the Heritage Foundation. In it he focused on what he called the "painful woke psychodrama" playing out across our societies. In particular, he addressed the effects of cancel culture, the obsession with pronouns and efforts to "decolonise" the curriculum and, indeed, our whole history.

It was one of the first times that such a senior Conservative has actually lasered in on these matters, although Dowden's colleague Kemi Badenoch has toiled in these vineyards for some years. The Prime Minister himself is reported to be wildly scared of being seen to be engaging in "culture wars". And the reaction to Dowden's speech by what remains of the Left-wing press might have been a reminder of why that is.

Armed riot cops clash with final Freedom Convoy protesters as they clear them from Trudeau's Ottawa doorstep 170 are arrested and 50 trucks towed off

Heavily-armed police and riot cops were in control of downtown Ottawa streets late Saturday after a two-day military-style operation to smash the Freedom Convoy truck occupation.

At least 170 protestors have now been arrested since the start of the operation Friday morning and nearly 50 trucks and other vehicles have been towed off.

Scores of big rigs that had been lining the protest's core area of Wellington Street beside the Parliament buildings are gone - some towed but most finally being driven away after truckers were given five-minute warnings before they would be arrested.

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

Indigenous activists protesters Freedom convoy ottawa

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.
