URGENT HEALTH WARNING!

Okay folks, this one is important. I never ask people to share my Tweets, but given the potential that Kevin Johnston, Derek Storie, and Logan Murphy are putting people in harm's way I need to ask for this one to be shared widely. 1/19
This morning police and AHS showed up again at Artur Pawlowski's Street Church as a result of their continued defiance of health bylaws as a result of the pandemic. 2/19
And not surprisingly there are those suggesting those trying to enforce bylaws be harmed. 3/19
Here are a few clips of the encounter including Peter Reicher threatening to call 911 and throwing as general temper tantrum. 4/19
5/19
And as Kevin Johnston is present there is also a threat made towards the AHS worker. 6/19
That Kevin Johnston is present is an issue as he is currently very ill.

He claims he has bronchitis. 7/19
In fact, Derek Storie and Logan Murphy, both of whom are staying at the same place, are sick.

Despite Derek's assurance it isn't Covid, I suspect that none of them have been tested. 8/19

Last night Derek must have been too ill to participate in the livestream though Kevin soldiered on.

He sounded like death. 9/19
And this morning on their way to the Pawlowski church, they didn't sound any better. 10/19
Kevin complains about significant weight loss since being ill. 11/19
In this one Derek can be heard hacking in the back seat. 12/19
No one is wearing a mask of course and Kevin says he doesn't know if he is contagious, however he does little to mitigate any potential harm. 13/19
And despite having contact with three very sick people, the Pawlowski service continued. 14/19

Johnston, Storie, and Murphy have been going around maskless for weeks and refusing to abide by basic health measures to protect themselves and others.

While I don't know if they have Covid, they are presenting what look to be the classic symptoms 15/19
They have interacted with people who are elderly, people with compromised immune systems, and vulnerable populations including unhoused peoples.

They have visited numerous communities in Alberta and British Columbia. 16/19

And despite being ill, they plan on attending other group events in defiance of the AHS putting more people at potential risk. 17/19
Johnston claims he has bronchitis. Storie and Murphy suggest they caught bronchitis from Johnston.

Given the circumstances however that claim should be questioned. 18/19
While it is unknown if they have Covid, the behaviour of Johnston, Storie, and Murphy is not only a risk to their own health, but it poses a danger to their supporters and the general public. 19/19
So in Friday's livestream Artur Pawlowski said that Kevin, who is very clearly very sick, will be the keynote speaker at a Monday protest at City Hall in Calgary.

On Monday the anti-mask, anti-vaccine, and anti-common health protocols moved to the legislature to continue their protest. Based on the video I saw, which included Max Bernier (of course), there were between 200 and 400 people. 1/17
Also present was Kevin Johnston who streamed the event on Instagram. Most of the speeches were boilerplate conspiracy woo so I won't bother repeating them. What was interesting was what happened as the event concluded. 2/17

We can look at this as another example of KJJ becoming increasingly unhinged having threatened AHS workers previously. I can be convinced that this is the case, but I hypothesize that there is something more deliberate. 3/17

I've started watching the Grace Life Church protest. A few hundred people based on the feeds I've been viewing and several dozen police.

Of course as expected Kevin Johnston and Derek Storie are there. 1/
We see them driving in and looking for a space to park. Here they pass Mark Friesen. 2/

During the 12 years I ran ARC, I always made an effort not to provide an uncritical platform for the people who I wrote about (usually using humour and mockery) as these people also craved attention and validation they believed that attention brought to them. 1/25
They hated being laughed at and shamed.

But there were always those who were shameless and sought any sort of attention. Those cases proved to be especially challenging. 2/25
One of those cases was, and continues to be, Kevin Johnston. An absolutely shameless self-promoter and liar, he seems to thrive on negative publicity. 3/25

In light of news that the @edmontonpolice don't have evidence to link the torch march to hatred (despite literally using imagery from a neo-Nazi torch march in Charlottesville) I thought I would do a bit of a deep dive into the Pawlowski brothers. 1/

FYI, this may be long and exceedingly boring for most people.

There will also be a great deal in this thread for which people will rightfully be very offended so please be warned. 2/
Artur Pawlowski again led a march, this time through Calgary (Feb 27), with torches claiming that there wasn't anything racist about it (again... they used the Charlottesville neo-Nazi torch march on their promotional material). 3/

Supporter (and sadly Canadian) Brandon Martinez is upset. 2/5
Martinez made some appearances on the blog while I was running it. 3/5

Evidently there was another anti-mask rally in Calgary. As Artur Pawlowski is currently in Vancouver for the anti-mask rally set to occur there tomorrow I'm not sure how well attended today's event in Calgary was. 1/17

That said, yesterday's event was interesting in that it might have been the most overt example of the marriage of anti-mask/anti-lockdown/anti-vax conspiracies with the discredited sovereign citizen movement. 2/17 Image
One of the keynote speakers was Christopher James Prichard, a "common law expert" from Burlington

@nolifeneet does a fantastic job of presenting who Prichard and directing his arguments here. 3/17
