2. Unlike Pat King, I have to go to work so I won't be back to this until much later tonight, however based on the web cam screen shot of Parliament Hill from 9:36 est, it looks like a lot of others might have gone home.
3. Not a lot happened after I went to bed (I don't think ), but here are a few things that happened in the early morning.
First, Ed Jamnisek, the charismatic mofo whom I'm surprised doesn't fall asleep from the sound of his own voice, is perplexed
4. Like, he thinks it is super unusual.
5. Others point out that, you know, it's just fog dude.
6. Pat King's ex-girlfriend is trying to rally the troops saying she "knows things". Keep in mind she claims to have multiple PhD.s and took Criminology at Quantico which has never had that programme.
She probably stayed at a Holiday Inn last night so she is basically and expert
7. I don't have time to cut it up so I'll just post the full 10 minutes. Skip around. Have some fun.
Word of warning. She likes to play around with the filters.
8. And that's it for now. I have to head to work.
Catch y'all when I'm back.
9. Well folks I'm back for the evening bonus round.
Let's start with Pat King.
Here he talks about the other very important members of the team including, uhm, whatshername?
10. They claim to have sneakily moved "60 to 80 trucks" in to Ottawa in the dead of night.
Again, I am generally inclined to believe Pat is lying whenever he speaks, so I will let others judge the veracity of this claim.
11. "Stop the rumours!"
So says a man who has seemingly made a livelihood spreading rumours including just yesterday when he claimed Trudeau was in Tofino (once again, he is not)
12. Well what is it Pat?
Is it a war room or a command centre?
I need to know if you'll be wearing a George Patton helmet in your golf cart you say you're getting.
13. Okay, command centre (totally NOT a war room!) so that's good to know I guess.
He then proceeds to begin with step 1 of 3 that he has in his master plan.
Honk horns.
But this time on a schedule!
Genius I say!
14. Uh, what happened to steps 2 and 3 you promised?
Honk horns + something + something = Victory!
15. Yes Pat, we have established you want people to honk their horns.
That ship has sailed. You can move on to bigger and better things now.
16. Okay, THIS is one of the clips I want you to remember.
Pat brags about gridlocking Ottawa and discusses how much of a good time he and everyone else is having.
17. We now move to the war ro...
Whoops. Almost said it
We now move to the command centre which he further describes as a "secured location" where he now thanks the police he previously criticized for not offering personal valet parking for the convoy and the key to the city.
18. Now in an angry stream of consciousness he yells at Trudeau for not supporting the blue collar truckers but did support "violent" BLM and "antifa" (which doesn't exist as an org but is paid by George Soros). Ends in what I regard as a disgusting slur.
19. So... I though Trudeau was in Tofiono Pat?Youw "who have people all over the world" and your unimpeachable source who claims to have seen him here, didn't lie to me?
20. He then starts on the media, gets distracted (squirrel!), goes back to yelling at Trudeau, and then, because of a blip which is likely the result of wifi issues, concludes that "they" are trying to silence him.
21. Apparently he has organized showers for the truckers at the Holiday Inn so the staff at the hotel who had to put up with Pat King trying to dominate that space now get to deal with a parade of maskless and belligerent bullies.
So, yay?
22. And again, these last two clips. Please keep them in mind.
Pat then goes on to express how much fun he is having causing gridlock. Hell, it is even comical!
23. Finally, he urges people to just keep on having fun!
24. So with that all in mind, let's look at the "fun" people in Ottawa are having because Pat and these goobers decided to disrupt their lives.
36. In news that surprised me because I didn't think she would, it seems that QAnon influencer and Canada's self-declared Queen IS indeed making the trek to Ottawa as well.
37. So far, the Queen's convoy consists of a single motorhome that her supporters struggled to tie her personal flag to.
Yeah. THIS is what you get to look forward to Ottawa.
38. But oh, sadly there's more.
Because he can't not be the centre of attention, I'm sorry to tell the fine folks of Ottawa that Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) says he also plans on making the trip to grace you with his presence... and teeth.
39. Really. Spending a week with Saccoccia has to be worth at least 1000 years credited to one's time in purgatory.
40. Also, a reminder that these people are all idiots who feed from the same disinformation trough and claim they are the originator of "inside" information.
41. Three observations.
First, Tyler really likes the word "seething" and uses it at every opportunity.
Second, Tyler Russell, Jeremy Mackenzie, and Derek Harrison really have high opinions of themselves.
Three, do any of these people have actual jobs? Like, anyone at all?
42. Hey! Pat King took some time out of his schedule to lie about @antihateca and our chair @BernieFarber!
Again, no Pat. We were not given $45 million from the government. Had we that kind of money, we would be even more effective and we are already damn effective. :)
43. And a sampling of the comments.
44. Jim Kerr, a convoy supporter, interviews another supporter. Eventually they discuss the numbers they believe were present for the protest.
You won't be surprised to learn the numbers are a touch off.
45. No. There were not "2.3 million" or "100,000" trucks.
Police estimates for Saturday were 8000. On Sunday 3000.
These numbers may be off and perhaps even lower, but are far more realistic.
46. In another interview, we get another antifa story. In this case they claim they dragged out a member of "antifa" who was walking around with a sledgehammer.
Uhm. Okay?
47. He then explains why he is protesting. Long story short, he thinks that the Canadian mandates are what is preventing unvaccinated truckers going to the US and wants those lifted, not seeming to realize Trudeau has no control over American mandates.
48. He also claims to have been heading to a meeting with the leaders but fell and injured himself. He then claims to have diffused an incident between the police and a trucker.
49. He wants people to come to be witnesses so the police can't drag them away.
Also, the fireworks? Yeah, that's now "antifa" as well apparently.
50. Ed Jamnisek appears and the discussion turns to what Kerr describes as a standoff.
51. Could you remind me again that these are peaceful people? The noose if a bit of a distraction.
Also, it is really hard to convince me that Pat King isn't a significant part of this protest when people are putting his name as a decal on their trucks.
54. Unrelated to the topic at hand but perhaps an intermission.
Question: Should I have a beer?
Answer: What a silly question!
55. So with that…
New night. New mug.
This is one of two Ed Hardy inspired beer glasses I own.
56. So there was a proposal by an Ottawa councilperson who suggested the city try going after some of the Go Fund Me money raised to pay for the expenses the city had to endure.
57. For this Wayne Peters (who believes the vaccines give people a new form of HIV) blames Trudeau.
59. So to these people, Justin Trudeau is both a wimpy, blithering, idiot who eats paint AND at the same time a Machiavellian tyrant who is the greatest danger the country (and world) has ever seen.
Pick a damn lane people!
60. So now Tyler Russell, had of the racist Canada First, is being accused of being an "antifa provocateur."
By the end of the week, every trucker will be accused of being an "antifa" instigator.
62. So it seems that earlier in the Day Pat King did an "interview".
Now it wasn't a real interview with a real journalist asking real questions and holding him to account, but it was still very telling as he coughs his way through it.
63. First Pat is obviously sensitive to the clips in which he makes racist statements or suggests violence.
He claims that is all a smear and the clips are edited to make him look bad.
He also actually says his efforts are more beautiful than "the Gandhi movement."
Really.
64. He tells people to watch the full video of his statement that the only way to solve things is with bullets.
As someone who also watched (and has downloaded) the full video, I do as well.
He is NOT taken out of context.
65. Pat says they are bringing "peace to the world" and that those opposing him are wicked.
Is Pat developing a god complex?
I think he is developing a god complex.
65. They claim that the intimidation of the soup kitchen workers was not their people and part of the media smear.
66. First, the soup kitchen confirmed that it WAS their people.
Second, we have the receipts.
67. The Confederate flag? The swastikas? The desecration at the War Memorial? The soup kitchen? And all the other things that reflect poorly on the protesters?
All Trudeau's machinations and the media is in on it.
68. Okay, I'm not sure I have to same more than this.
Both Pat and the "interviewer" compare him favourably to Terry Fox.
In fact, Pat King is basically Terry Fox.
Prepare to vomit.
69. Finally, because of course, a request for donations.
70. I had more, but I'm tired and the second semester starts tomorrow so off to bed. I'll probably do another thread but I have a podcast interview scheduled so it might be more abbreviated.
Here is the webcam footage of Parliament Hill at 2:00 am in Ottawa.

It doesn't show everything and what I can see is a large crowd, but it certainly doesn't look like the 500,000 to 1.4 million the participants claimed would be there (one random person believed there would be 3.5 million, or close to 10% of Canada). 2/
So far people on the ground have noted Diagalon and Canada First flags and at least one person in a Soldiers of Odin vest.
We also see a Canada First supporter dressed for a "peaceful" demonstration. 3/
