The actions of the Canadian PM and his cheerleaders towards the truckers' convoy constitute a threat to democracy

The F word gets thrown around a lot these days. Right-wing politicians get milkshaked for being "fascists" and opponents of critical-race theory are said to be enabling fascism by questioning white privilege - you're definitely a fascist if you think biological sex is real.

When it comes to Trump, commentators are more liberal with the F-word than a market full of fish wives. After the January Capital Riots last year, one columnist wondered, "if Trump looks like a fascist and acts like a fascist, then maybe he is one".

But as real, material authoritarianism raises its head in Canada, many of those same laptop bombardiers keen to call out fascism wherever they see it seem conspicuously silent. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau might not exactly be Mussolini, but his decision to invoke the Emergencies Act against protesters in the nation's capital is a watershed moment. With these new powers, Trudeau is effectively able to wage war on thousands of truckers and supporters camped out in Ottawa.

No sign Russia intends to invade Ukraine, says German Defense Minister, Moscow expels top US diplomat in retaliation for minister

Washington is considering a response to Gorman's expulson
Russian officials ordered US diplomat Bartle Gorman, who serves as the second-highest official at the US embassy in Moscow, to leave the country on Thursday amid fears that Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine.

The US State Department said the move was "unprovoked" and described it as an "escalatory" step from Russia.

"We call on Russia to end its baseless expulsions of US diplomats and staff and to work productively to rebuild our missions," a State Department spokesperson said.

"Now more than ever, it is critical that our countries have the necessary diplomatic personnel in place to facilitate communication between our governments. "

Trudeau does not want to end the protests peacefully. He wants violence

The only way to understand the actions of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the past two weeks is that he wants the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, which so far have been entirely peaceful, to descend into a violent confrontation between protesters and police.

Everything Trudeau has done, from his initial dismissive remarks about the protesters being a "small, fringe minority" with "unacceptable views," to his ongoing refusal to meet with them, to the unprecedented invocation of the Emergencies Act this week, has served to escalate the situation in Ottawa and increase the likelihood that it ends in some kind of violence.

Consider the draconian measures Trudeau's government is now pursuing. The protests, while certainly inconvenient and even onerous to the residents of Ottawa, are obviously not an existential threat to Canada. They are not even a national emergency according to the Emergencies Act's own definition: an "urgent and critical situation" that "seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it."

No reasonable person thinks that's what the protests in Ottawa are. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has said the federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act, and that invoking it "threatens our democracy and our civil liberties." According to some recent polls, a not insignificant number of Canadians agree.

Davos and the Purloined Letter Conspiracy

The famous short story by Edgar Allen Poe, The Purloined Letter, is apt in describing the agenda of Klaus Schwab, founder some 50 years ago of what is today the globally influential Davos World Economic Forum (WEF)-Hidden in plain sight. Schwab published a book in 2020 titled The Great Reset, which calls on world leaders to use the "opportunity" of the COVID-19 pandemic to fundamentally reorganize the global economy into a dystopian top-down version of the technocratic UN Agenda 2030. For those willing to do patient research, Schwab's WEF reveals an astonishing degree of the current globalist agenda for a technocratic totalitarianism. Even more he has been developing hand-picked cadre to implement this agenda over three decades, with a select global "cadre school" for "future global leaders." In effect it is what we might call the Davos Conspiracy, agents promoted around the world to infiltrate top policy circles and push the sinister Davos Reset agenda.

One of the most astonishing features of the COVID pandemic fear hysteria is the degree to which politicians worldwide have followed in lockstep, along with global media and key health figures, to embrace an unprecedented agenda of economic and human destruction in the name of fighting a virus. It turns out that most all key players all have something in common. They are hand-picked graduates or "alumni" as he calls them, of Klaus Schwab's Davos cadre school, his annual program called Young Global Leaders and pre-2004 called Global Leaders for Tomorrow.

BLM accounting gimmick further delays disclosure of its $60M bankroll

The national organization for Black Lives Matter appears to have used an unusual accounting maneuver to further delay reporting what became of its $60 million bankroll from 2020, a move one charity watchdog called "the worst transparency issue" she has ever seen.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the charity that serves as the face of the national BLM movement, quietly changed its 12-month accounting cycle to July through June. By going from a calendar to a fiscal year, BLM has until mid-May to report what it did with the millions that flooded into its coffers beginning in the second half of 2020. The move enabled BLM to report a sparse, short-year Form 990 to the IRS that covered its activities during only the first half of 2020, when the entity was entirely dormant as a fiscally sponsored project of the California charity Thousand Currents. It was also the period just before BLM exploded as a cause celeb following George Floyd's racially charged death.

CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron told the Washington Examiner:
"Given the money involved here, this is really unbelievable. To not know who is in charge of $60+ million collected by the national charity arm of arguably the most prominent social justice movement in the country is the worst transparency issue I have seen in my 18 years as a charity watchdog."

Comment: Postponing the inevitable, front organization BLM is treading deep financial water.

Ukraine government forces have shelled areas within rebel-held territory to the east of the country, a breach of ceasefire agreements designed to bring an end to the conflict, according to Russian-backed separatist groups.

Forces from the Ukrainian side were accused of using mortars, grenade launchers and a machine gun by the representatives of the would-be breakaway territory — the Luhansk People's Republic — in the first reports of munitions being used in the conflict gripping Europe for more than a month now.

Rebel representatives from the Luhansk in the Ukrainian-Russian ceasefire control group, according to Russia's independent news agency Interfax, said:
"Armed forces of Ukraine have rudely violated the ceasefire regime, using heavy weapons, which, according to the Minsk agreements, should be withdrawn."
However, officials from Ukraine denied attacking the separatist-held region, stating that they themselves came under artillery fire but did not retaliate.

Nancy Pelosi makes her annual pilgrimage to AIPAC to affirm loyalty to Israel in 2020
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed that the 20th century's greatest political achievement was the creation of the state of Israel. She reiterated Washington's "ironclad" commitments to the country during a visit by a congressional delegation to Jerusalem on Wednesday.

She stressed that her ties to the Jewish state were personal as well as political, since her father, Congressman Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., was "a champion for the establishment of the State of Israel," she said in remarks after meeting her Israeli counterpart.

"The greatest political achievement of the 20th century was the establishment of the State of Israel. And very proud that America is Israel's oldest ally," Pelosi said.

Media outlets duck, weave, and downplay latest developments implicating Clinton campaign

Liberal media outlets have largely downplayed or otherwise ignored the court filing from Special Counsel John Durham as part of his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

MSNBC, which made the Russian investigation the most dominant topic on the network for years under President Trump, completely ignored the revelations Durham made the court filing late Friday night through Monday. "Morning Joe" addressed it on Tuesday.

CNN, meanwhile, dedicated less than three minutes to the subject during the same period with only one mention on Monday's installment of The Lead with Jake Tapper.

None of MSNBC nor CNN's primetime shows, typically regarded as the most watched programming on the networks, touched the subject.

Comment: A blast from the Democrat past as they criticized Durham's investigation in its early days:
Democrats who once pushed to protect then-special counsel Robert Mueller to ensure that his Russia investigation would continue without interference sang an entirely different tune when the Trump administration appointed John Durham as special counsel to continue investigating the origins of that same Russia probe.

Durham was appointed special counsel by then-Attorney General William Barr on Oct. 19, 2020, giving Durham a degree of added independence, as he can only be fired by an attorney general or someone acting in that capacity. Barr revealed the appointment on Dec. 1, 2020, about a month after the presidential election.

Democrats like Reps. Adam Schiff of California and Jerry Nadler of New York slammed Barr's appointment at the time, despite previously calling to protect the special counsel's office as Mueller conducted his earlier probe, which concluded without finding any evidence to support claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

"Barr is using the special counsel law for a purpose it was not intended: to continue a politically motivated investigation long after Barr leaves office," Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in December 2020.

But during Mueller's earlier investigation, Schiff was eager to protect the special counsel's office to ensure Mueller could continue the Russia probe without interference. In 2018, he told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that Congress had to "take up a bill to protect Mueller so that we don't invite a crisis."

Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, also slammed Durham's appointment at the time as "one more desperate attempt to feed President Trump's fixation on events that have been investigated over and over again."

That statement came nearly a year after Nadler introduced legislation to protect Mueller's earlier investigation from "improper interference."

Schiff and Nadler, along with House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and House Administration Chair Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., had also sent a letter in September 2020 asking the Justice Department's top watchdog to open an "emergency" review into Barr's handling of the Durham probe.
How long before Durham's probe engulfs these two reprehensible cowards? A vignette displaying their Schiff's and Nadler's collective hubris and venality, each attempting to 'write history' during their attempt to impeach Trump:

Trudeau's power grab is unconstitutional

On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would be invoking the Emergencies Act, giving him broad emergency powers to quash a nonviolent protest of truckers opposing vaccine mandates. It is only the second time the Canadian government has ever given itself such powers in peacetime.

Trudeau's father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was the first to take such an extreme measure, in the context of an actual terrorist uprising in 1970. Throughout the previous decade, terrorists known as the Quebec Liberation Front (FLQ) had set off over two hundred bombs, and that October, they graduated to kidnapping. Members of the FLQ seized Pierre Laporte, the Deputy Prime Minister of Quebec. In response, Trudeau the Elder invoked the War Measures Act, as the Emergencies Act was then called, and sent in the troops. Tanks rolled down the streets of Montreal, and Laporte's captors killed him the next day.

With his newly expanded powers, Trudeau's government set about trying to find Laporte's killers. The military spent their time knocking on doors in the middle of the night and arresting activists — without reasonable suspicion — who had nothing to do with terrorism. Many were held without trial, initially incommunicado. Some were subjected to abuses in custody that would later lead to lawsuits and substantial compensation. Of the 500 people arrested, less than 70 were ever charged with any offense; less than 20 were ultimately convicted.

Comment: For some mysterious reason Newsweek seem to be morphing into a proper journalistic endeavor. Even Jordan Peterson has remarked on it.


Now if all these newly redeemed reporters would widen their field of vision to perceive those who are pulling Trudeau's strings, they might have a real story for their readers. For now the alt reporting world has a lock on it, but their reach is limited:

Hillary Clinton finally breaks silence, calls John Durham claims 'fake scandal'

If anyone knows scandals, it's Hillary Clinton.

The former first lady, senator, secretary of state and two-time Democratic presidential candidate finally responded Wednesday to last week's court filing by special counsel John Durham alleging that her 2016 presidential campaign paid for computer research to link then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia.

"Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones," Clinton said on Twitter. "So it's a day that ends in Y. The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.


Comment: She would know well about spinning a fake scandal (Trump/Russiagate). Unlike her, Durham has actual proof of his claims.


"For those interested in reality, here's a good debunking of their latest nonsense," she concluded the post, attaching a link to a Vanity Fair article titled: "You'll never believe it but Hillary Clinton did not, in fact, spy on Trump's White House."
