At this non-event, Farkas did her best to explain that the transcripts that were being shared that didn't show Pat being the great hero were earlier transcripts and the July transcripts would explain all. 2/
By the way, for anyone unfamiliar with Farkas, she is an anti-mask/anti-vax "patriot" from Ontario who has been arrested several times and who recently hooked up with Pat King. 3/
While Farkas is correct that the transcript is an earlier one, King alluded it to it as if it is interchangeable with the one from July. Also, King already told us the basis of his claim that Covid doesn't exist is his misunderstanding of this document. 5/
Anyways, Farkas posted a video to Instagram yesterday and she seems really upset that people don't "get" the brilliance of her boo. 6/
Apparently the point wasn't to win (huh???) and that people are dumb.
Also, "case precedence". 7/
She claims that Alberta reducing Covid protocols in June is because Dr. Hinshaw was frightened of being put on the stand in July.... except no.
Also, the cadence of her voice is super distracting as she carefully enunciates her words but that might just be me. 8/
I think she is mad.
Do you think she is mad? 9/
She alleges that Max Bernier and the PPC are plotting against them and the origin of the campaign to discredit them.
Not, you know, the fact that they BOTH can't read legal documents. 10/
Then she goes after Rebel Media ordering them to, "pick a side."
Attacking Rebel Media is going to be a bit of a recurring theme in this thread. 11/
She ends this part with a "you are either with us or against us" ultimatum. 12/
By evening Kelly had calmed down slightly. In a video where she talked about "our French Canadians" who are "very emotional" (it is really weird) she continues to explain, more calmly, the transcript issue.
You see, the relevant ones are "with their lawyers." 14/
She is sure the good, honest folks with Rebel Media and the Canadian Justice Centre will surely retract and apologize when, upon seeing the July transcripts, they come to understand the genius of Pat King. 15/
But then she goes back to airing grievances against people who have the temerity to question Pat King's claims. The first is Kelly Hildebrandt. 16/
Hildebrandt is apparently not acting like a Christian (I mean, pushing an 85 year old man over would be my first guess but whatever) and that he must apologize to King for questioning him. 17/
18/
Next is Max Bernier and the PPC who Chris Sky has been feuding with ever since he had his pride hurt by not being the keynote speaker in Ottawa on July 1. 19/
Last night Kevin spoke about how he wasn't able to organize a night out. No, it wasn't because one of his crew allegedly assaulted an employee at one location or harassed staff at another. No, it was all "antifa". 24/
When in "studio" yesterday evening the topic of Pat King came up and being uncharacteristically careful in his comments Johnston explains why Rebel Media isn't on board.
According to Johnston, it is jealousy.
Jealousy of King of course, but mostly jealousy of him. 25/
Ed has another take.
Rebel Media has gone... mainstream!
You know, because Levant described Johnston as a fringe candidate like others in the media. Because he is. 26/
But at least Ezra's parents are nice I guess? 27/
When someone tries to explain why the evidence that King sought wasn't provided. Johnston twists himself in circles to explain why it is still a win. 28/
They continue to trash Rebel News and make accusations regarding financial issues. 29/
But again, perhaps knowing how litigious Levant is, Johnston is very careful with his words despite the claim that he doesn't care if he is sued made earlier. 30/
And while this really has nothing to do with Pat, I did think it was an appropriate place to end. 31/
Are we though? 32/

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

1. By now I'm guessing that most of my Twitter followers are aware of the most recent threats against Trudeau and the subsequent of a suspect. I think there is an even more important story though related to the poisonous influence of social media
2. Dawid Zalewski was arrested for making death threats against the Prime Minister. The following video was posted to his second Facebook profile. Be warned that it may be triggering as it promotes graphic violence against the PM and others.
3. Zalewski is clearly not well, but I think would be wrong to dismissively call him "crazy" move on without further examination. There is a reason why he got to this point and I believe we can learn a great deal from his social media footprint.
1. I’ve been enjoying my summer break and have not been paying a lick of attention to the Olympics. Until today however since Twitter has collectively lost the plot.
2. Earlier boxer Imane Khelif defeated her Italian opponent in the first round when Angela Carini quit after 45 seconds stating that she had never been hit so hard.
To be fair, I don’t enjoy being punched in the face either so I can at least sympathize with Carini.
3. Now a preliminary fight would never be important enough to make international news under normal circumstances however we are, as the saying goes, living in interesting times.
1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) was arrested in Calgary on an immigration warrant apparently. He may have since been released, though he has to turn in his passport and remain in southern Alberta.
I'd prefer that he be kicked out immediately.
2. Despite claiming to have been a "political prisoner" many of Yaxley-Lennon's criminal convictions his Islamophobic "activism" and a number of convictions since have had nothing to do with his political views.
3. In 2005, he was convicted assaulting a police officer who intervened during an argument Yaxley-Lennon was having with his then girlfriend.
1/ It's been a while since I've done a thread here, but the recent focus on Pat King got me to wondering what was up with his own Salacious Crumb, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings.
2/ Last time I looked at Billings he was a part of the efforts to set up a permenant camp outside Ottawa so there could be daily protests, though the original plan involved surrounding the police and arresting politicians.
Suffice to say it didn't go anywhere.
3/ Billings and Ron Clark soon headed home, but they both soon got involved in other protests including the anti-carbon tax protests occurring in the province. The numbers at these events have been small but that hasn't stopped from politicians from courting the fringes it seems.
1/ Though I'm not especially active these days, I'm still sometimes gobsmacked by some of the ridiculous (though sadly effective) rage farming by some on the right. Harrison Faulkner of "True North" is just a recent example of that.
2/ So a bit of background. Musical artist Karan Aujla won the 2024 TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award at the award ceremony this past weekend.
I think it was this weekend. Truth be told I don't pay a lot of attention to awards shows.
3/ It should be noted that Aujla has been in Canada for years emigrating as an orphan. He graduated from high school in Canada. The album was produced by a Canadian on a Canadian label.
