(1) @erinotoole, please accept this counter thread with the spirit of its intent.

There comes a time when you need to channel the raw frustration of your constituents – put them into articulate voice and focus – not pontificate about their delicate humanism in your arguments.
(2) @erinotoole The working class Canadian people are angry, very ANGRY. Your downplaying of their valid and justified sense of anger, is akin to a dismissal of very valid grievance, not just against Trudeau, but also against YOU.
(3) @erinotoole, What the hell kind nonsense is this? A concern about tone, sensibilities, portrayals?

If your goal was to miss the moment, skip the point, talk as if the media was YOUR audience, & put on a performance focused on the irrelevant; then, mission accomplished.
(4) @erinotoole , As a patient and frustrated pragmatist would say, (deep breath) … “When you’re done with all that, can you please address the central need of the voices assembled a few meters away shouting at you?”

HONK - HONK !
(5) @erinotoole , This is the time in the history of government when the core, central and basic topic of FREEDOM is being eroded.

This is not a time for your delicate pastels. This is a time for bold and uncomfortable contrasts.
(6) @erinotoole , The Western values of representative government either support the basic tenet that people should be free, or that government does not. There is no middle ground.
(7) @erinotoole , We cannot be partially adherent to tyranny when the systems of government are demanding obedience to forced medical procedures.

At this moment of consequence, Canadians are either free to reject medical treatment – or not free. There is no middle ground.
(8) @erinotoole , We are either free, as unique individuals to move around our own country without some arbitrary registration process, or we are not free.

The premise of “papers please” is either rejected, or it is accepted. There is no middle ground.
(9) @erinotoole , These are the core tenets that must be determined, argued, fought about, defended and decided. There is no room for quisling prose or the parsing of personage amid the discussion.

Put your ego and personal pride on your mantle and represent.
(10) @erinotoole This is not a debate for the soft consideration about the tender sensibilities of small voices.

Hell, this is a debate that should never have been a debate, but here it is.

Knock, Knock – Wakey, Wakey – Honk, Honk.
(11) @erinotoole @PierrePoilievre , Every conservative politician must, in this moment of significance, rise to the needs of this occasion, fight for freedom like they are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark, or get the hell out of the way.
(12) @erinotoole , @PierrePoilievre, the moment is now.

The moment, this moment, is what the truckers of Canada, and the free people of every nation who support them, are trying to force upon unwilling, likely unworthy, leadership around the world.
(13) @erinotoole , @PierrePoilievre , Every conservative politician in Canada should be forced to look at this little girl and justify their action or lack thereof.

There is no middle ground.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!

(1) Remember me asking why the Port of Los Angeles was not updating their December CARGO results?

Remember me asking about why this unusual delay?
(2) The BEA released their fourth quarter GDP data today.

(3) A few hours later, again today, the Port of Los Angeles finally released their December totals.

Think about what you just wrote here @CBS_Herridge !

The OIG had these phones for how many years, & only just NOW tells Durham?

What does that tell you about intents and purposes of the OIG office itself?

The entire system is about institutional preservation. OIG is in on it.
The DOJ/FBI are a corrupt and rusted political apparatus, used as offensive weapons against any entity who would challenge the interests of the Deep State.

That reality must be kept hidden from the American people.

Bill Barr was the Bondo. John Durham is the spray paint.
The current heads of the Biden DOJ and FBI would never allow Durham to continue if they thought for a minute the DC institutional credibility would be compromised as an outcome.

In many ways Durham is like the corrupt OIG, vacuuming up stray bits that might lead to questions.

Want to understand the dynamic?...

♦ One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.

♦ One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…

That's the difference between a Republic and a pure Democracy.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s *social cohesion* which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”

minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/AlexHawke/Page…
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest “, because his continued presence would destabilize the government.

1/ Technically it was never really stopped. In the original pdf guidance for the 2014 research pause of into weaponization of SARS viruses there was an important footnote:

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
2/ [FN¹ SOURCE – U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses – pdf, page 2 – October 17, 2014]

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
3/ The 2014 pause allowed agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding GoF if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”

1/ @AlexGangitano The Dec numbers won't be released for a few more days. However, based on this article (see link) and the prior stats, it looks like port activity in December will again be lower than October when new port initiative was announced.

2/ It's a simple math equation. Article on end of year totals.

cnn.com/2022/01/04/bus…
3/ The Port of Los Angeles data shows they handled 468,713 import containers in October, and 405,309 in November. That’s a decrease of 63,404 import containers from the prior month.

(1) This thread, not written by me - but does have strong merit. A little on the worst case scenario side of things, but well-argued and accepted.

What could be in our future....
(2) "We all know by now “Never let a crisis go to waste” REALLY means:

CREATE a crisis, or the PUBLIC PERCEPTION of a crises, in order to justify a public policy change (Government action) that you want to enact."
(3) And, typically do nothing to truly address the crises you created, as to do so would eliminate the justification for the government action you wanted all along.
