Apparently Veterans 4 Freedom member Jeremy Mackenzie is getting a January 6th vibe regarding Canada Day this year, based on things he's seeing talked about in his online circles.

... and Jeremy clearly has no plans to expose the comments he's seeing.
I guess he is hoping for more CSIS attention.
Apparently he didn't learn from Derek Harrison's Jan 6th comment. 😉

In the past Veterans 4 Freedom have echoed Jeremy's claim that he isn't a spokesperson for them, but what I find interesting is that V4F first mentioned ongoing summer protests in June but Jeremy talked about it a month earlier.

Distancing themselves from Mackenzie should be an easy decision, but they as of yet haven't.

James Topp, the Canadian forces vet and V4F member who is currently marching towards Ottawa for Canada Day recently made an appearance on Jeremy's YouTube channel.
Also note, he's marching with Jan 6th attendee Logan Murphy.

Andrew MacGillivray of Veterans 4 Freedom is already making excuses in case anything bad happens this summer, which is never a good sign.

After the bad behaviour from the convoy in Jan/Feb, the organizers and supports made plenty of excuses for it, by either claiming that it had nothing to with the protests, or that events were purposely faked by the media and government.

Some of that bad behaviour:

I could go on an on about it, but I feel I've made my point.

Jeremy Mackenzie is unlikely to be in Ottawa, as he is currently facing 13 firearms charges tinyurl.com/2nxx2jww, as well as charges for harassing Dr Strang. tinyurl.com/3wbrfdyn
Allegedly.
Wait, do I still need to say allegedly when Morgan makes comments like this?
10/21
One of the conditions of release for his harassment charges is to not to "counsel anyone to protest against health officials, education professionals or elected officials"

Well....
11/21
As for his charges, according to him he's not going to jail.
He "won't be taken alive".
Sure Jeremy.
12/21
And he expands on that.
"send people that have families"
🙄

Jeremy had taken a break from using his "gun or rope" slogan for a while, but last week he got back at it.

And his audience is just as bad.
15/21
A response like that shouldn't surprise anyone, considering Jeremy says their political opposition isn't human.
He also refers to an occupied government... for some reason.

Political opposition = pretty much everyone.

So with all that out of the way, it's still hard to say that the summer long events planned by V4F will end up as bad as the occupation(or worse).
@antihateca did an excellent article discussing that.

But there is one thing I want people to take away from this thread:
Don't trust these people. Ever. Not even for a millisecond.
From the moment the anti-vaxx/mask/whatever movement began they have never been honest.

Rolling Thunder promised there wouldn't be another occupation.
What was the first thing they tried when they arrived in Ottawa?

Don't believe them when they say nothing bad will happen when they're already making excuses in case something bad does happen.
The violent rhetoric in their spaces hasn't gone away, regardless of what event organizers say.
Stay vigilant #Ottawa.
