Boswick is a guy who frequented the blog when it was active because he was connected to a lot of the people and groups I covered as, and these are his words, a "domestic war reporter." 4/23
For example: "Ron Banerjee: 'Let's get into a big fight right inside the Eaton's Centre.' Attack After Pegida Rally Looks Pre-meditated" 5/23
Because he was also at one time very close to Kevin Johnston and Derek Storie and helped Johnston on his Mississauga mayoral campaign. 7/23
Boswick remained in Ontario as Johnston and Storie moved to Alberta and it might not have been a clean break.
Still, Boswick remains a supporter of Johnston's efforts. 8/23
On the day that Johnston was taken into custody in Montana, Boswick posted the following video in support of Johnston.
And I need you all to remember this is intended to be SUPPORTIVE of Johnston as you listen to it. 9/23
So to paraphrase, Kevin PROBABLY lied and skimmed money off the top, but the end justifies the means and besides, it's really your fault for having sent him any money.
Again, this was a supportive video.
Stefanos' comments are simply the icing on the cake at this point. 10/23
So with this context of one of his friends for all intent and purposes calling him a grifter, now let's get to Johnston's jailhouse phone call as recorded by Ed Jamnisek.
It starts very dramatic and he lays it on very thick. 11/23
Okay, I just need to stop here and comment on his claim to have been targeted my "antifa" because he has gone to the well MANY times with this claim. 12/23
Apparently Canada is a despotic hell hole that even the lying American border guards agree with Kevin before lying to them again which is rather convenient. 14/23
This part where he talks about the importance of family and the love he has for his own rings hollow when one considers:
1. He doesn't seem to have seen them in months. 2. He was fleeing the country alone leaving them behind in the "despotic hell hole" of Canada. 15/23
Finally, gifters gotta grift as he asks his supporters to not only contact Canadian premiers and American governors, but also to send him some of those sweet, sweet, Bordens!
Hmmm, doesn't sound as good as Benjamins, does it? 16/23
We are then graced with the wit and wisdom of charismatic mofo Ed Ed Ed Jamnisek and Stefanos "for the love of god don't take legal advice from him" Karatopis. 17/23
But guess what? We have a special guest!
Pat King joins and he has questions! 18/23
I and others have written extensively on Pat King. Honestly, type his name in Twitter or Google and you'll find something. Here however is an article by @MackLamoureux to get an idea of he brain trust here. 19/23
Here again is the gang and Pat saying more Pat things. 21/23
Finally, we have a very telling part at the end where Pat said he wouldn't have run and that Kevin should have talked to him because their network could have kept him hidden which is and interesting admission when discussing a fugitive.
Remember folks, Pat King is SAMRT! 22/23
And with that I am going to do what I promised my mother and enjoy the rest of my evening Kevin Johnston free. 23/23

Well folks (and hello new followers). I said there would be an update on Kevin Johnston's Benny Hillesque, futile, and self-defeating flight from Canada to seek asylum in the United States. 1/
And like the posts from yesterday, the part dealing with Johnston's trek across the border is still genuinely funny.
However, I am also going to post some other parts so that you can get a real idea of the character of both Johnston and LaJune which is much more infuriating. 2/
The video is two and a half hours.
I will NOT subject you to all of it.
I'll start with the... er... highlights?
First, any thought that it wasn't Kevin and was instead another grifter who coincidently was trying to illegally cross the border is put to bed right away. 3/
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
It would appear that Artur made a phone call from where he was being detained to discuss his arrest. 2/
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/
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/
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/
