Well we have a follow-up on the arrest of Artur and Dawid Pawlowski that I and others tweeted about last night. 1/

It would appear that Artur made a phone call from where he was being detained to discuss his arrest. 2/ Image
In the first part Artur suggests he and his brother attended the even in order to de-escalate things as he claims there were those in attendance who wanted to do more than merely protest. 3/
Okay, that is an interesting claim considering what was recorded by Derek Storie prior to his live feed failing.

For example, let's look at the harassment of a neighbour. 4/
Also, note the anti-vaxx conspiracy rhetoric because it picks up. 5/
Dawid claims the vaccine is killing people and that those advocating for them are essentially murderers. Also, those people need to be court martialed for treason because Dawid really likes authoritarian control despite the cries of "freedom!" from the sheep in the crowd. 6/
And far from de-escalating, Artur tells a whimsical story about kidnapping politicians and assaulting them just before the feed dies. 7/
In any case, I did create a Pawlowski cut of the video if anyone wants to see all the interactions that took place at the Minister of Health's home. 8/
Back to the call from jail, Pawlowski provides his take on the arrest with the requisite histrionic name calling that we have come to expect from Artur and Dawid. 9/
I find this one to be quite telling in that it doesn't matter what tyrant you pick to describe the government suggesting that this is simply all performative.

I mean, we KNOW it is all performative, but I'm not sure Artur realizes he is telling people this here. 10/
Finally, we have the suggestion their enemies will face retribution when driven from power and that they will face "Nuremburg 2.0." 11/
For reference this is what Artur is referring to. 12/

Already the comments are what one would expect as well. 13/ ImageImageImageImage
14/ ImageImageImageImage
Larry Heather and Glen Carritt are two of the more notable figures commenting thus far. 15/ ImageImage
18/ ImageImageImage
@JaneQCitizen has also posted a thread on this. Please take a look there. 19/
The people behind "Calgary Freedom Central" are of course feeding the outrage machine. There are a lot of comments but some stand out more than others. 20/ ImageImageImageImage
And this one that invokes Joe Rogan and suggests Kenney contact Ron DeSantis for leadership advice sort of covers all the far-right bases. 21/ Image
BTW, this is the result of Ron DeSantis' "leadership." 22/ Image
More from Artur Pawlowski and the "Nuremberg 2.0" conspiracy they are pinning their hopes on as a totally normal and rational murder fantasy from one of Pawlowski's supporters. 23/ ImageImage

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. Given what is happening in Jasper, these all seem to be especially relevant.

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.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Image
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. Image

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. Image
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.

He has made his home here.
