@mrenner_schultz Martha I really liked your thread about Artur Pawlowski, the pastor that labelled health inspector and accompanying police Nazis for attempting to enforce public health orders for safety.

But it’s difficult to read.
Any chance you could post it again as a connected thread? I like it so much I would like to amplify it. And maybe build upon the narrative you’ve created.

Not a demand, just a request if you have time. Let me know if you require assistance on how to string tweets together.
What you say in the thread is important. Rule of law is being undermined by these pastors and the government is complicit.

Kenney attempts to convince the public he supports the rule of law and rejects the use of hyperbole and demagogic rhetoric as weapons.
But those are the weapons he has used throughout his career to advance his agenda.

You are correct in noting an intensification in rhetoric, widespread international amplification and the intent to create unrest.
I’d like to call attention to that in a wider audience if possible.

We’ve moved beyond mere stochastic terrorism. Pawlowski’s use of gestapo and Nazi is clear indication of dehumanization to justify taking this to the next level.
There is a progression from dissent to genocide. Pawlowski’s screeds are on that trajectory and intensifying. Here in Alberta, and it’s being broadcast internationally.
Your thread identifies that progression. I’d like to use the stages of genocide to highlight the trajectory Dominionist Christians are on.
Thanks for copying me on your thread. It was a good one.

Unbelievable mind blowing manipulative and twisted rationale.

I didn’t think Grace Life would back down. Nor the thousands of supporters across North America.

This article is written in response to Pastor Coates and Grace Life elders decision to continue to ignore public health orders.

Please read to understand the mental gymnastics performed to rationalize ignoring the rule of law. People need to witness what we are up against.
The author is aware of criticism heaped on churches that refuse to abide by public health orders. Here it’s explained that putting your neighbour at risk is honouring God’s commandments. Not protecting their life by wearing a mask or staying home. Image

@ryanjespersen had a guest on today with a very terrifying warning.

The P1 variant is incredibly deadly and highly contagious. Brazil just recorded 4000 in ONE day.

Bolsonaro has a covid strategy like Trump; none.

Kenney just strengthened restrictions. But not enough.
His guest predicts Alberta will look more like Brazil if we remain with inadequate restrictions.

We MUST pressure Shandro and Kenney to completely lockdown. Close schools, factories, all stores except grocery. Vaccinate essential workers.
Or we will be watching 2000 people die a day.

Kenney is afraid of the reaction of the Christian nationalists and white supremacists that elect him.

He needs to be afraid of the majority of Albertans who vastly outnumber Kenney’s voter base; by 2:1.

Report of action to block Grace Life from holding church services because of the leadership’s categorical refusal to abide by public health orders.

Many are pleased this is taking place. But it’s an escalation by AHS and will force a confrontation.
The reaction is predictable. Those impacted feel persecuted and declare their freedom is infringed upon.

Here’s a video from this morning recorded by an evangelical Christian supporter of the Church’s efforts to ignore public health orders.

So much for the rule of law.
Christian Nationalist parishioners (not just Grace Life congregation) have been indoctrinated to believe their faith permits them to ignore the secular laws of governments because they follow God’s/Jesus’s laws.

This is regularly reinforced in church and on social media.

I’ve explained this several times. But I’ll do it again.

A year ago, in April 2020, UCP enacted changes to the Public Emergency Act in Alberta.

When an emergency is declared, the government has complete power to amend, repeal or create any legislation.
Regardless if it has to do with covid or the emergency.

It is in the best interests of UCP to keep the province saturated with covid. That way, they don’t have to go through review of their policies and dissenting opinion. They don’t have to even inform us until it’s done.
How did coal policy get changed without consultation and debate?

Alberta had declared a state of emergency. They repealed the legislation when Alberta was in a state of emergency. Therefore bypassing the legislative and debate process.

Readers will note Artur Pawlowski is the street pastor that came to Edmonton and demonstrated for removal of mask mandates and the immediate release of Pastor Coates.

Brandishing tiki torches.

While he shouts gestapo & Nazi at the police, his open church puts lives at risk.
And look who is supporting this nonsense.

Jack Posobiac. And Ezra Levant of course.
If this civil disobedience that puts lives at increasing risk isn’t stopped soon, we are going to have open insurrection to more than just facility capacity & mask mandates.

Christian Nationalists are a dangerous group of zealots.

I refuse to amplify this garbage.

But it should be noted that Conrad Black is propagating racist imperialist white washed rationale for Kenney’s proposed curriculum.

It never ceases to amaze me how many share Black’s worldview.
People who invest all their self worth in the belief that Europeans were more socially or economically advanced than North American indigenous peoples.

The idea is preposterous and egotistical self serving.
While the technology of Europe was more advanced, the social and economic norms certainly were NOT.

In Europe, most people were treated as chattel, serfs and indentured servants. With no agency of their own. Only one social class held wealth and power. All others subsisted.
