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.
She also accuses PMJT of fixing the election.

This is how stochastic terrorism works.

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.

libertycoalitioncanada.com
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. ImageImageImageImage
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.
Maybe you think it’s a couple goofs from a fringe element. Think again.

This is not a small number of people. Evangelical Christians and Traditional Catholics make up 20-30% of the Alberta population.

This has potential to get way out of hand.
Finally a journalist and news outlet that acknowledges the religious overtones.

This is no joke. It’s an enormous danger to the rest of society.

edmonton.citynews.ca/2021/01/20/upc…
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. Image
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.

Don’t you dare blame Canadian centrist and left wing politicians for the apparent BS being demonstrated by far right saboteurs in Atlantic Canada.

We are done with “both sides” have very fine people or divisive leaders.

This is a saboteur’s destabilization narrative.
No right exists to access crown land. And private land which abuts common/crown land must be protected from forest fires.

The forest is literally a tinderbox and every precaution must be taken. Individual rights don’t exist when the possibility of massive destruction is a risk.
The narratives being offered by libertarians, chaos agents, saboteurs, democratic subversion agents and “free-men-on-the-land” are designed to create doubt about the legality of the mandates and fines.

None of the rest of us are prepared to sacrifice the province.

This is the interesting and relevant part Gil.

Many Canadian’s lives and livelihoods are on the line. Trump has imposed additional tariffs to the 2.5% Canadian exporters would generally pay to avoid the costs of being CUSMA compliant. That’s no longer an option.
Changes in the environment require adaptation to preserve viability.

Canada is not forcing vendors and exporters to adopt one position over another. But the federal government has chosen to pivot and seek alternative markets rather than cow-tow to a maniacal wannabe dictator.
Exporters have options. Keep trading with US and become CUSMA compliant or find a new market.

Personally I believe doing both would be an easier transition for any vendor who is heavily reliant on US trade markets.

So I came across a post from this Postmedia journalist and had to use it in a lesson about propaganda.

It’s so blatant, and will make comprehension of complex issues easier for those who find policy discussions boring or difficult to follow.
My new project is tying current issues to policy content so everyone can understand what behaviours, values and opportunities policies are attempting to change, influence or create.

Deconstructing this propaganda is helpful to learn how policy works.

So you must read the article to comprehend its deconstruction.

The headline is titillating and grabs the attention of the consumer immediately.

Non-citizen immigrant gets off easy for attempting sex with what he thought was 15 year old.

Who wouldn’t be against that?

It’s interesting that so many switch allegiances with every utterance.

If you’re observant you can see who among your follows is unable to trust what’s happening is in their best interests.

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself” is good advice about now.
FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.

In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes and right now it’s rhyming.

Past fascists didn’t have modern technology, but they did have memes and political cartoons.

Most are the very same rhetoric we hear today.

So I’m going to do a cartoon essay to prove it. Image

It amazes me how easily people respond to radical left & right propaganda.

The radical left declares PMMC to be worse than Harper and people believe it without question.

Why?

These radicalized extremist assholes are no different than the far right. They play on your fears.
However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language. Image
PMMC probably believes it is difficult to misinterpret. But there is a major discrediting campaign being conducted against him. And I don’t believe he has much experience with this level of disinformation.

So he requires an experienced professional counter propagandist’s help.

As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.

This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now!
I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.
In Canada, it’s FN and the Inuit who have suffered the most oppression. Their way of life was targeted for elimination. But so too were the Métis. Just in different ways.

Inuit & FN were oppressed thru apartheid type communities that treated people like second class citizens.
