O’Toole is protecting an unhinged extremist Christian Nationalist who is inciting STOCHASTIC TERRORISM. This is the same type of rhetoric that inspired the Capitol insurrection attack.
They called Biden a pedophile & accused Pelosi & Schumer of drinking the blood of babies.
Using this type of toxic “Big Lie” rhetoric raises the probability of lone wolf terrorism by far right radicalized extremists to very close to 100%. It’s impossible to predict when or where.
But it will happen if this kind of rhetoric continues to be used. That’s a certainty. Not a probability.
Q’Anon conspiracy theories are overlaying Evangelical Christian Nationalist beliefs about the divine liberty of “true”Christians.
This is a cult, not religion. This is not a Christian belief system.
Reformist, Calvinist and NAR churches, along with far right radicalized traditional Catholic Churches are propagating their parishioners with the belief that God will protect them from covid.
I’ve found several online sermons that preach complete obedience to God’s law and rejection of secular law.
These are pastors telling believers to break the law.
That’s definitely not in Christian scriptures. This is mental abuse of parishioners & abuse of church platforms.
At the moment there is a developing organized disinformation campaign across Canada using Christian faith to psychologically manipulate Evangelical faithful into ignoring public health orders.
Coincidentally, several covid variants are threatening to create a 3rd wave.
A wave so terrifying the federal government made specific reference to maintaining covid measures Feb 19, as premiers continue to relax covid restrictions.
These variants are so contagious and deadly, daily confirmed cases could rise to 20,000 per day nationally.
Now if that doesn’t scare the shit out of every Canadian, I’m not sure what will.
It should also inform every Canadian that those behind the organized and coordinated disinformation campaign are seeking to do harm, and using their own supporters to do it. That’s disgusting.
Unconvinced it’s a coordinated conspiracy? It’s not hard to observe.
Liberty Coalition Canada is a new political lobby group. Made up of conspiracy theorists, radicalized extremist Christians, incendiary politicians, and organized Church leadership.
Led by avowed Evangelical radicalized Christians, they want to end covid restrictions. Like Florida & South Dakota did in the US. Just go back to fully open and hope for the best.
Remember a SD nurse documented several patients dying from covid still believing Covid was a hoax.
Trolls are out spreading disinformation, far right network media is flooding social media with disinformation. Misrepresenting covid mortality rates (its 2.5% in Canada not 0.002%), and ignoring the cost to human beings who are hospitalized and take months to recover.
Never mind the cost to provide medical care. Or the loss of life leaving young children without a parent or a wake of grieving relatives. Nor the cost to medical and hospital personnel continuously overwhelmed with full ICUs of covid patients and regular hospital beds.
Former and current Politicians at all levels of government are signing up to support Liberty Coalition. And they have 4 issues being promoted.
Paleolibertarian beliefs are being promoted & propagated.
They’re political goals, not religious beliefs requiring religious freedom.
The approach being used to manipulate the devoutly religious is mental abuse.
This video demonstrates the gaslighting that is performed.
Basically, believers must completely turn themselves over to obey God’s laws to receive “God’s rest.”
God’s rest is like reaching paradise or a special blessed state of existence. Ignore secular laws and only obey God’s laws.
So keeping the Sabbath holy requires church attendance. Other wise you can’t receive God’s rest. In other words, ignore covid orders.
Children must learn to obey God or they will be driven to suicide from despair & isolation and a lack of moral and spiritual support. So we must open all of society.
Curious when isolated indigenous communities actually experience this, these churches are nowhere to be found.
Open businesses because working is performing God’s work. Providing for a family, employing others. That’s holy.
Is that like Arbeit macht frei “work will set you free?”
Politicians supporting the cause are Derrick Sloan, Maxime Bernier, Drew Barnes.
Also supporting this is the Rebel Media with their fake news about increased suicides and the injustice of jailed pastors who just want to preach the word of god.
This is definitely Q’Anon level conspiracy theories masking a conspiracy to spread covid during a vulnerable time.
And it’s the exact same strategy Trump used to become the worst covid infected nation on earth with the highest death rate by far and permanently ill patients from covid. Biden has been in office a month and has managed to reduce cases by close to two thirds.
By propagating the belief that covid is a hoax, a significant portion of the US population began to believe their constitutional freedoms were being trampled by tyrannical leaders who insisted on enforcing covid orders.
In Michigan, the governor was the target of a coordinated conspiracy to kidnap, try for treason, and exterminate her because she would not lift covid restrictions.
This is the same strategy. The very same strategy.
Vulnerable people who are already primed to approach science and facts with magical thinking and live in closed insular social groups, are psychologically manipulated to believe secular laws are invalid, God’s laws are primary, and theonomy is preferred over democracy.
This is an organized attempt to lay the ground work for a Canadian coup similar to the US attack.
Liberty Coalition provides “legitimacy” for the religious zealots by propagating the “Big Lie” as if it’s a valid religious & political belief system.
These are NOT valid beliefs.
But this is what stochastic terrorism looks like. Radicalize vulnerable people to believe insane and antisocial propaganda and inspire them to commit violence. Thing is, it’s these people who are most at risk of contracting covid as well.
They are victims like the rest of us.
Pretty sick and sadistic to literally sacrifice the people who actually support your ideology to gain power and control.
But that’s how cons work. Consequentialist ethics means no price is too high as long as someone else is paying it.
Edmonton and Calgary are experiencing a rise in public demonstrations from this group.
Here’s today’s March for Freedom in Edmonton.
Notice tiki torches and Religious display signs. Same demographic combo as Charlottesville and Capitol Attack.
Basically 30% of the population has no grasp of public health realities & believes the pandemic is just an excuse to isolate them.
They believe this so fervently that they’re willing to break the public health orders en masse to force the province to remove covid restrictions altogether. Putting the entire population in grave danger from the pandemic and more so from the new variant covid strains.
There is no rationalizing with many of these people. They’ve been radicalized and can only view their existence through an extremist lens. They’ve essentially been brainwashed. Gaslighted so badly, they no longer know the difference between real life and fantasy.
Many of them have been indoctrinated to believe the only law they need to abide by is God’s law as it is communicated in the “perfect” and “inerrant” Bible.
Secular laws are selectively ignored. The only authority recognized is God and the church feeding them psyops propaganda.
This propaganda requires the devoutly faithful to abandon all critical thinking and all individual will and submit in obedience to the inerrant bible as it’s been interpreted by the pastor/priest.
Anything less than total obedience and compliance is a grave sin.
That sin will prevent the believer from being saved by Jesus, sentencing them to eternal damnation.
That’s how fricking sick and mentally abusive the indoctrination is. That’s not faith. It’s cult level thought control.
There is no opportunity to discuss the issue because these people believe they are God’s chosen people and compromise is a sin. Cooperation is a sin. And with the belief that some actually commune with God on a regular basis, they have divine blessing and support.
This is what is known as Dominionist Christianity.
It’s exactly the same psychological manipulation the Taliban, Al Qaida & ISIS use on vulnerable muslims.
This is how Trump got elected and how thousands of true believers stormed the US Capitol building.
And now Canadian far right ultra Christian Nationalists and their Dominionist architects are using the same strategy. To obtain power and control and impose theonomy in Canada.
All wide out in the open.
This is a threat to Canadian democracy, our Canadian liberalist and moderate culture and freedom.
The more these people March and refuse to wear masks and follow public health orders, the longer we will be self distancing and isolating.
Demand your premier enforce public health orders. Demand the police uphold law and order.
Forget the taboo about challenging faith. This isn’t faith. It’s cult propaganda.
We are headed for violence if this isn’t curtailed very soon.
I feel the need to point out the deceptive strategy being used here. 🧵 🪡
@LukaszukAB is flagging that there are major problems with the Alberta Human Rights legislation in response to @DuaneBratt referring to enshrining vaccination human rights.
In the midst of another Covid wave, this may seem to be the most important part of the proposed changes. But it’s not.
It’s a distraction from the real effort to put corporations in charge of Alberta by bequeathing human rights for the owners of private property ~ corporations.
I wrote this in 2019.
I’m not a lawyer.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t understand the law.
When you are an indigenous activist, had your land rights stolen by govt and vulnerable to attack, you learn how it was done in the past so it cannot be done again without a fight.
So I’ve noticed I’ve retained my follower count but never seem to have anyone look at what I’m writing.
Have I said controversial things that people are struggling to fit in their frame of reference?
Yep.
That’s how you cause cognitive dissonance. You rock the boat.
That’s what activists do.
They don’t perform propaganda by deed.
They don’t attack others in a virtual mob trying to drown out their narrative.
They do point out inconsistencies and hold up a mirror in your face.
You know what I’m good at?
Rocking the effing boat!
I’m rocking the boat so violently that you develop seasickness and start wondering WTF.
Why? Because lives & treaty rights of people I care about now depends up on Canadians acknowledging and collectively speaking out against what is happening.
@dbeggs13 @Eric_M_V What would turn around the population’s opinion of PMJT?
What would make a difference?
First you need to understand how we got here.
What if ALL the disinformation could be exposed?
What if everything shifts once the US election is decided?
@dbeggs13 @Eric_M_V Everything shifted when Biden stepped down.
But what pundits and analysts continue to ignore was that GOP and media were NOT calling for Biden to resign. GOP & Trump wanted Biden to remain, because they knew he would struggle to overcome public perception of his frailty.
@dbeggs13 @Eric_M_V PMJT is the strongest asset the LPC have.
To comprehend rhetoric and influence, you must ask, who does this benefit.
It benefits CPC if PMJT resigns. It does not injure LPC if he stays.
He needs new policies and new dragons to slay. His charisma is unparalleled globally.
