The question everyone, especially law enforcement, needs to ask is: how did #Cult45 members get into the Capital building?? Someone on the inside is complicit in this fascist display. #WashingtonDC #DCProtests

#MitchMcConnell fully enabled & helped create this fascist Frankenstein monster. His empty words now mean nothing.

#Cult45 #WashingtonDC #CapitalHill #Thugs #TrumpRally

#Cult45 thugs roaming the Capital building shouting “DEFEND TRUMP”. Their goal is not truth, democracy or the constitution, it is fulfilling the delusion of a psychopath. #WashingtonDC #TrumpRally

Ongoing lists need to be shared so people never forget the damage #MikeHarris caused. Tunnels for Eglington subway were already excavated. Harris wasted the $750M project & filled the tunnels in at a cost of $40M, setting #TTC & #Toronto back decades in transit. #ONpoli #TOpoli

Then there was the brutality to poor & marginalized people. #MikeHarris used them as scapegoats. Harris’ gov’t hired US firm Arthur Anderson (of Enron fame) to handle welfare cuts. Horror stories ensued, like the case of Kimberly Rogers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_… h/t @monicarooney

When #MikeHarris inflicted ‘welfare reform’, average rent in Toronto was over $800/month for a 1 bedroom. Harris cut single welfare to $520/month leading to a housing crisis.
The assault on Ontario’s poor has never recovered from Harris’ damage. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/… #ONpoli

Disinformation, propaganda & #Conservative operative, Jeff Ballingall. A thread.

Erin O’Toole’s chief digital strategist, Jeff Ballingall, can be likened to a young Roger Stone, in terms of how far he is willing to push the envelope. #cdnpoli #CPC #ErinOToole

Ballingall has chided organizations he’s worked for, such as RW conservative outfit “Canadian Taxpayers Federation” for being too “risk averse” in their propaganda campaigns.

He found other RW political campaigns he’d supported too risk averse too....

#cdnpoli #ErinOToole

So Ballingall started his “Proud” groups on #Facebook.
#Ontario Proud, later “Canada Proud”, which became third party advertisers, unconstrained by rules...or ethics.

#PostMedia along with #PierrePoilievre & other #CPC hacks, all rolled out the exact same messaging at once. Making the false claim, in fact, the disinformation & propaganda claim, that “800,000 ineligible people” got #CERB. Other online RW media, followed suit. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Revenue Canada had to come out to dispel this false claim levelled by #PostMedia & #CPC.

This is also the #CPC plan to take power, with the aid of US hedge-fund controlled Postmedia & other propaganda outlets, sow division via disinformation & propaganda. #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

In spite of Revenue Canada correcting the record on this propaganda, #PierrePoilievre, #PostMedia & other disinformation rags like #BlacklocksReporter #PostMillennial etc, continue to amplify the same false claims. Clearly none of these publications care about the facts #cdnpoli

CANADALAND is being sued by ridiculous little incel, Keean Bexte (who once had me swarmed on Twitter for calling out The Rebel’s United We Roll scam & his influx of fake followers).
The question that always must be asked in situations like this: who’s bankrolling Bexte? #cdnpoli

@CANADALAND

@CANADALAND suit isn’t the first time “Rebel” so-called News has used this tactic. @pressprogress published an article in 2019 outing Rebel’s connection to far right Islamophobic 🇺🇸 billionaire, Robert Shillman: pressprogress.ca/rebel-medias-j….
A lawsuit followed thestar.com/edmonton/2019/…

@CANADALAND

#RobertShillman’s fellowship also funneled money to #RebelNews in 2017 in order to employ 🇬🇧 far right “activist” #TommyRobinson: theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/d….

So rest assured, there’s an agenda behind this bs Keean Bexte @CANADALAND lawsuit.

Who’s paying? #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

@jasonintrator

Whenever I see #Antifa trending (especially when driven by inauthentic troll network activity), I’m reminded again of how #fascism operates. It requires the conjuring of both enemies & scapegoats. It’s worth revisiting different works on fascism. Like #Yale prof @jasonintrator.

(Full interview here: vox.com/2018/9/19/1784…).
Trump & #GOP use of manufactured enemies, is such a thoroughly predictable aspect of practicing #fascism, that it’s almost cartoon-like at this point. Something cult members fall for, while everyone else stares in disbelief.

Umberto Eco in his famous 1995 essay, “Ur-Fascism”, (web.archive.org/web/2017013115…)
talks about how social & economic frustration makes fertile ground for fascist movements & susceptibility to fascist rhetoric & techniques. #Election2020
