What’s horrifying is that GOP Senators who are implicated, will be voting whether to convict Trump or acquit.
Trump has parted ways with his attorneys. Meaning the fix is already arranged.
What that means for the Biden administration and American democracy is yet unknown.
Meanwhile, 50M supportive MAGA Americans are in a mass fugue state induced by extreme disinformation.
No longer tethered to reality, this group of citizens is completely engrossed in conspiracy theories and extremist religious fervour, blinding them to reality.
Anyone who breathed a sigh of relief on January 20, 2021, and emotionally put the past 5 years to bed, better wise up quick.
The insurrection is not over. The coup is still in motion.
Worse, foreign conspirators are aiding the coup by amplifying related disinformation.
That aid includes Jason Kenney and his blatant disrespect for President Biden’s decision about KXL.
It also includes the decision to relax restrictions when two dangerous new covid variants risk being established in Alberta and exponentially multiplying the death toll.
It further includes Kenney’s failure to enforce covid measures that he himself ordered on any of his base supporters (church/Q’Anon).
The actions are entirely consistent with US GOP efforts to obstruct scientific evidence, indigenous land rights & contempt for Democrats.
Ford is attempting similar support for an illegal coup. Ignoring LTC death tolls, lax and inconsistent enforcement of covid measures, and blatant insubordination for PMJT by attempting to bypass him to secure vaccine. Even though his govt is behind in rolling out the vaccine.
I don’t follow Manitoba, Sask or Quebec politics closely enough to comment on the premiers of those provinces, so I won’t comment on their actions.
But CPC is another question. O’Toole desperately distanced himself from association with Trump in early days after Jan 6.
Although indications of a new disinformation campaign being planned to launch in Canada using election fraud as a central issue were found on the CPC website immediately after the January 6, 2021 attempted coup. Were the accusations there before January 6th? 🤷🏻♀️
Here’s an interesting timeline involving Canada.
Remember when Trump accused Dominion elections equipment of fraud by tabulating votes incorrectly? Trump is the one who linked Canadian company Dominion to his disputed defeat. Labelled it election fraud. ctvnews.ca/politics/this-…
The Trump accusation began within days of the American Presidential election (November 3, 2020) and within hours of the election being called for Biden. Which Canadian Q’Anon members and Christian Nationalists began amplifying dutifully. Much to the chagrin of Elections Canada.
Elections Canada is the institution that guarantees the results of Canadian federal elections. They have a stellar reputation for ensuring free & fair elections and reliable counts. And they sought to protect that reputation.
Let that sink in.
Trump attacked a Canadian institution. Democracy is reliant on the integrity and trustworthiness of its institutions.
Trump didn’t just attack American electoral institutions, he threw red meat at Canadian conspiracy theorists too.
Now who would that aid?
Trump was blatantly attempting to tarnish the reputation and create doubt in the trustworthiness of a Canadian institution. In the US, but also in Canada. Is that part of a Quid Pro Quo? 🤷🏻♀️
It’s already well known CPC has been using GOP strategies in Canada. This article demonstrates 41% of CPC supporters are also Trump supporters and fully stand behind Trump policies and the attempted coup. That’s roughly 4-6 million Canadians.
So what did CPC do with the false accusations Trump made about Elections Canada and Dominion voting machines (which Canada does NOT use for federal elections)?
They amplified them and turned it into an attempt to cast doubt on LPC’s election wins.
These accusations go back years in Canada. CPC pundits have long accused Trudeau of employing foreign assistance to swing the Canadian 2015 election in LPC’s favour.
Trump’s accusation just adds more “credence” to an already established disinformation campaign using black propaganda.
But Dominion Election Machines is suing Giuliani for $1.3B. That should be a clue for most that Trump is using a “Big Lie.”
But what is CPC doing in return for all this assistance to create a “Big Lie” to cast doubt on Elections Canada and PMJT?
On the day Biden was inaugurated and signed an Executive Order to cancel KXL, Jason Kenney had had a press conference that excoriated Biden.
Kenney warned that cancelling KXL was a gut punch to the Alberta economy, & stated Biden was attacking the US’s closest friend & ally using trade relationships. He emphasized that’s “not how you treat a friend & ally.” He mentioned environment, global stability & human rights.
He made the same argument he used for CGL pipeline. Indigenous support, provincial and state support, union support.
Though Biden had committed to cancelling KXL for 2 reasons; climate and US indigenous dissent for the project.
Then Kenney asserted that if Canada wasn’t given opportunity to change the withdrawal of approval for KXL, the PM should impose tariffs to sanction the US.
He blasted Biden on day one and threw in a dig at PMJT who clearly wasn’t going to make that move.
Kenney followed up by appearing on Fox News & repeating the claims for an American audience. Not that Americans know who he is, but certainly Kenney was representing “Canada” not just Alberta when he made his Fox News debut. Check out comments on YouTube.
Literally 2 weeks after an attempted coup by far right and GOP Republicans, Kenney is severely criticizing the newly inaugurated President on his first day in office and making threats. Not even his first full day. Trump remained president until noon that day.
What was Trump’s first impeachment about? A classic quid pro quo demanded from Ukraine implicating Biden in scandal in exchange for financial assistance to resist Russian annexation.
That sounds quite similar to this situation in Canada. Was it prearranged? 🤷🏻♀️
Was there any money exchanged?🤷🏻♀️
I am not an investigative journalist and only use open source documents in my research.
So beyond the obvious questions, and suspicions, I can’t take this any further.
Did Trump criticize a Canadian federal electoral institution to enable CPC to create their own “Big Lie” to sell to Q’Anon and Christian Nationalists here in Canada, in exchange for severe criticism of the newly inaugurated Democratic president of the US on Inauguration Day? 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe FBI and CSIS (or RCMP intelligence) may want to check that possibility out? On the surface, it seems highly suspect.
Canadian Cons & American Republicans share the same far right paleolibertarian ideology, the same base voter characteristics (Q’Anon, white supremacists and radicalized evangelical Christians) and the desire to take back power from left wing duly, freely & fairly elected parties
If I can see this is a potential and suspicious quid pro quo conspiracy quite similar to the Ukraine conspiracy, but with willing and complicit players, why aren’t investigative journalists putting these dots together & informing the Canadian and American populations?
Could it be because the Canadian mainstream media are complicit too? 🤷🏻♀️
American mainstream media barely acknowledges Canada exists. But this is out in the open, completely related to the recent coup and stinks to high heaven!
Is Canada at risk of a coup attempt similar to January 6, 2021 American fascist coup?
Are Trump and some corrupt seditious GOP Republicans attempting to influence Canadian elections and create doubt in Canadian democracy?
Trump’s extortion of Ukraine included back room oil and gas deals conducted by Rick Perry. None of which have been adequately investigated.
This isn’t a theory. Trump did criticize Canada’s electoral system and Kenney did severely criticize Biden on his first day in office as president and then make a threat of a trade war.
CPC did have plans to accuse PMJT of rigging the next election.
Canadian Conservatives did criticize PMJT for not vehemently supporting KXL and threatening sanctions by tariffs.
Was it coordinated? Sure would be nice if those with the authority to investigate the facts did so.
Hope is a double edged sword. We need hope tempered with reality. False hope is just unrealized despair.
Personally I find reality, as difficult as it can be sometimes, is a better gauge of hope. When I see people are engaged and aware of facts, I have hope.
When I see people organizing to remove destructive governments, that brings me hope.
I prefer to search for and inspire available actions. I prefer to be an agent of change, not a helpless victim. Pleading for forgiveness is infinitely easier than asking for permission.
Waiting for deliverance or a saviour is a victim’s stance. Yet so many just continue to obey an illegitimate power and surrender their own power.
I’m not very good at surrender or obedience to oppressive expectations.
Honour and integrity are only valuable to survivors.
Hey all! I’m so excited. Just found out that Chrissy Stroop is going to be on @ryanjespersen tomorrow!
I’m so excited to hear her voice and listen to her reveal the evangelical Christian agenda. I’ve followed her for a while now and she really knows her stuff.
Here he communicates why the vaccination of as many people as possible as quickly is possible is required.
This completely debunks the conservatives rationale that lives<or=livelihoods debate. Entirely!
I’ll explain in more detail.
We now have two deadlier and more contagious variants of Covid circulating across the globe. The vaccines developed are less than 95% effective. It’s more like 50%, maybe less.
Some believe it’s hardly worth the effort to achieve 50% efficacy.
This is untrue. Viruses mutate quickly and effectively when transmitted from person to person. Becoming infected allows the virus to mutate. Eliminate transmission or widespread infection, and the virus’s ability to mutate into deadlier forms is eliminated.
@Kaleido45374749 As for this tidbit. The twinning of the highway is a major infrastructure investment. It isn’t to improve access to camping sites. It’s probably part of China’s BRI. The Belt and Road Initiative.
@Kaleido45374749 A more appropriate provincial choice would have been to twin the highway to Ft Mac. There have been a number of deaths on the highway and it’s been sites as high priority for several years.
But this road in central Alberta won out.
Why?
@Kaleido45374749 Because the corridor to Rocky Mountain House is where China wants to go and provides access to the natural resources China wants. Along with a few other foreign buyers.
What’s under those mountains? A huge natural gas reserve. Coal in the mountains and pristine timber.
I thought I would give this a few days for people to mull over the KXL fiasco.
But Kenney also made one hell of an admission in his news conference on Monday January 18, 2021.
He confirmed that Jason Luan was telling the truth in November 2020.
Luan stated emphatically that the province was waiting until the capacity of hospitals was almost at maximum before the province would impose any additional measures. Amid public outrage, he backtracked and withdrew his comments.
You know how UCP (just like Trump) has so many scandals that it’s difficult to remember them all and it’s tricky to figure out which one to focus on first?
Well, that’s typical for UCP news updates. You never know how many scandals and dirty deals will be exposed.
The dedication to presenting both sides is ridiculous and dangerous. There are NOT two sides to scientific proof. Climate change is real and so is Covid. Reality is not subjective.
There are no alternate realities. To suggest otherwise is diabolical.
People like Dziadyk are a menace to society.
The public needs to loudly reject this nonsense.
We are under siege by conspiracy theorists who seek to destroy democracy. Who is funding these people? If we can determine that, we should boycott them and let everyone know why.
