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

Okay, sort of a huge update on Kevin Johnston's arrest.

He had someone trying to help him in the United States. 1/

April LaJune is someone who appeared on Kijiji's show in the past. For a bit of background take a look at these articles. 2/

We will begin at the ending since, as @TonyYvce had said to us, this was likely to be the shortest man hunt in Canadian history. Slight hyperbole, but really not much as Kevin Johnston was taken into custody trying to cross the US border on foot. 1/20

We had first gotten wind that Kevin was on the lam yesterday when @JaneQCitizen posted screen shots from the anti-mask/anti-vaxx Telegram group run by Brad Carrigan. I would urge you to look at her thread. 2/20

Though I didn't doubt that much of what was posted in the Telegram might be true, we were dealing with people known to play fast and loose with the truth so I waited until it was confirmed by @antihateca today. 3/20

So... Artur Pawlowski continues to be a going concern as @JaneQCitizen indicates in this thread. It also seems clear that he is now toying with some sovcit rhetoric coupled with his already dominionist theocratic fantasies. 1/

On Friday Artur participated in yet another march through the streets of Calgary fighting the tyranny of minor inconveniences put in place to stop the spread of a disease during a pandemic. 2/
His supporters cheered him on like trained seals, posted incendiary comments suggesting requirements to be vaccinated or tested for Covid before entering a building is basically the Holocaust (sadly, they are being serious) and spreading lies about the vaccine. 3/

Yesterday @TDubOntario did yeoman's service in their coverage of the ongoing Pat King Leg protests (er... sorry... "gathering"). If you are interested in learning more about Pat's singing voice, take a look. 1/

Now during his live feed, someone posted the following question regarding the Wet’suwet’en Nation. @TDubOntario also included the question in their thread. 2/ Image
For some background, @APTNNews posted the following backgrounder:

"They’ve been fighting for ownership of their language, culture and land since the day colonizers stepped foot on their territory" 3/

Yesterday Kevin Johnston was sentenced to 18 months in jail for contempt directly related to his continued defamation of @mohamadfakih8. 1/22

antihate.ca/kevin_johnston…
He originally lost the defamation suit in 2019, but since then continued to defame the victim, ridicule the courts, and openly state he will never pay any judgement. 3/22

So I just finished listening to Kevin Johnston's live feed where he interviews Artur Pawloski.

As ya'll know Kijiji was sentenced to 18 months in prison starting January 4. 1/

The video went exactly as you would think it did.

I'll add clips as I cut from the original video, but suffice it to say he lies about why he was convicted (claims because he told the truth; he is in fact a liar) and everything is communism. 2/
Claiming that an 18 month sentence makes a "public spectacle of the courts" and that it won't cause people to comply with the courts, Kevin says he needs to raise $20,000 to appeal the sentence. 3/
