1. Well it is now day 8 of the #OttawaOccupiers. The thread from yesterday is below.

2. Being a Saturday the numbers are unsurprising higher than previously as evidenced by this shot of Parliament Hill at noon. 
3. It seems the QAnon "Queen" Romana Didulo decided that after her proclamation that truckers were "no longer necessary" in Ottawa and ordered them home.
4. However it seemed she later changed her mind, probably because her followers might question why the #OttawaOccupiers are still there in the city after she ordered them to leave, thus question her omnipotent power.
5. She is also starting to fall back on the violent rhetoric for which she got into trouble in December 2021.
7. That said, it does appear that she is being forced to respond to push-back regarding her public burning of the Canadian flag.
8. Back on the ground it looks like Alex Vriend of the Plaid Army/Diagolon is giddy about tractors.
9.
10. Because of course there are horses now too.
I'm beginning to think the @OttawaPolice are really bad at their jobs.

11. By the way, remember when they said that they wouldn't be honking all night to "respect the citizens of Ottawa"?
Yeah, seems that is actually not a thing.
Also no, there are not 3 million people (a little under 8% of the total population) in Ottawa right now.

12. But thinks aren't so rosy perhaps for the #OttawaOccupiers.
They seem to think that same city they are terrorizing should bend over backwards to accommodate their needs to be able to continually comfortably terrorize them.

13. Of course we know that this effort has branched out into other locations.
Some of those locations are attempting to deal with it proactively.

14. And some people are coming up with some rather novel strategies to deal with the occupiers no matter where they might be.

15. Also, a reminder to follow this awesome person.

16. More food for thought.

17. It would appear that the Trumpiest of governors Ron DeSantis is trying to get in on the outrage regarding @gofundme cancelling the grift and states he will be demanding refunds... for people who have or are already receiving refunds.
Doesn't matter. The purpose is outrage.
Doesn't matter. The purpose is outrage.
18. So a report from a friend about Ottawa. They say that near Parliament there are all families; where the trucks are is a different crowd of people (mostly men "bunkered down").
19. Concrete blocks where city snow plows once blocked the trucks. Also, the trucks and their support vehicles are still deep into Centretown, but traffic is moving slowly
20. Some reports that things are getting ugly in Toronto with some trucks trying to break through to Queens Park.
21. Well this is a rather interesting take from the Zello convoy supporters.
"I'm not saying I agree with Hitler. I'm only saying that if he were selling something I would absolutely buy it and tell all my friends they should as well."

25. So it would appear that Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) has determined this is the day that he will grace Ottawa with his presence and a speech
26. So what does Mr. Teeth say in the video?
He claims that the military is refusing to follow Justin Trudeau's orders to clamp down on the #OttawaOccupiers.
His evidence?
The Internet because of course.

27. This would be remarkable news. To learn the military is refusing to follow orders from the government? That would essentially be a coup.
So it shouldn't surprise readers to learn that no, the military isn't refusing orders and Saccoccia is in dire need of reading skills.

29. Also, those of you who "get" to listen to Chris Saccoccia (Chris Sky/Mr. Teeth) in Ottawa, this is what you get when you are not perceived as sufficiently deferential to the man.
Keep in mind, these are his supporters.

30. The reason why he went off on them is because he was an hour or so late for his own event so the crowd played music and danced while waiting for him.
When he arrived finally, they were not immediately able to welcome him so he had a temper tantrum.

31. And because, ultimately, this is a movement of paranoid egos and narcissists, infighting and accusations of being "one of them" will run rampant.

33. Also, unrelated but probably also related.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated xenophobic and anti-authority narratives, many of which may directly or indirectly impact national security considerations."

34. Someone just had a really good idea.
If you are monitoring these occupations or are present yourself, these are some of the symbols that you might be on the lookout for. It isn't an exhaustive list, but it is a good start.

35. Well done Vancouver!

36. And of course there is now an effort to doxx and harass the individual who is the lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit against the #OttawaOccupiers.
37. Well apparently someone monitoring Zello heard the claim that that @LeslynLewis has met with a convoy in Simcoe and is waving out of the sunroof of a car.
38. There is another convoy in Haldimand County, Ontario. And this was seen at the rear.
39. There was a discussion about the Confederate flag (or flags potentially) seen at the event. These individuals thought it was bad optics (you think!?!?)
40. Looks like there was also one in Cayuga. Apparently someone on Zello asked them to remove it.
41. Now in the first Zello audio someone made mention of "the Huigen boys" as perhaps being in a truck with a Confederate flag.
We don't know if that is true or not, but here is one of the "Huigen boys".
Somehow I'm not shocked that he might have a Confederate flag.

42. Also, a Zello user reminds others that the Confederate flag has different meanings to different people.
I am going to disagree that that is the case when you really boil those reasons down to the core reason.

43. American insurrectionists and their supporters are really working hard to foment a coup in Canada it would appear.

43. And prior to a few moments ago before they all seem to have disappeared, Joseph Flynn had been posting comments about the #OttawaOccupation such as this one collected by @Chr155y_333.
44. Took a break and had my first decent workout in a week. Back to work shortly.
45. When the @gofundme was shut down, fundraising moved to another platform.
A platform with ties to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol in Washington D.C.

47. That the Proud Boys would come up is an interesting coincidence.
Are y'all ready for a deep dive?

48. In this case I'm not interested in Plaid Army/Diagolon member Alex Vriend at all.
I'm much more interested in the guy next to him.

49. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Tim Kelly, former Proud Boy "elder" from Ontario (seen also in one screen shot with Faith Bezos (aka Faith Goldy).
50. It won't surprise anyone that Tim Kelly was a frequent subject on the blog.

51. Now here is where things get a little confusing.
Readers know that the Proud Boys in Canada was designated as a terrorist entity in early 2021.

52. But the organization didn't go away. Instead they rebranded themselves, in Ontario anyways, as Canada First.
cbc.ca/news/politics/…
cbc.ca/news/politics/…
53. (Had a brain fart. Recreating tweets without including propaganda links)
There are in fact two hate groups calling themselves Canada First. I've already written a great deal about the Tyler Russell Canada First group that is currently in Ottawa.

55. The Canada First that Tim Kelly is associated with is the former Proud Boy chapter.
56. You can see that early on in its history on Telegram, it was an overt Proud Boys chapter.
57. And Tim Kelly was definitively in a position of leadership.
58. While ostensibly claiming to be "civic nationalists" they were also posting defenses of white supremacists, including a former soldier who would eventually be arrested and convicted for his role in planning terrorist attacks in the US after fleeing Canada.
60. Around spring of 2020, Tim Kelly's Proud Boy chapter also started to include the "Canada First" line to their flyers and posters.
61. After designation as a terrorist group, Proud Boys: Canada First rebranded as Canada First.
62. They also became overtly racist, shedding any pretense of what it once claimed but never once was. This is a tiny sample and the least offensive.
63. So yes, the Proud Boys which is now under the banner of Canada First is in Ottawa. And hypocritically they had a very different view of protests that blocked traffic when conducted by Indigenous people of BLM activists.
I wonder why that is?

64. You know who are awesome?

67. In Calgary Artur Pawlowski engaged in the same protest they have been doing each Saturday for weeks.
Here he demands the resignation of Jason Kenney and Justin Trudeau (calling him Justin Trudeau Castro) and promises they will be tried by "Nuremberg 2.0", another fever dream

70. Pat King gave a speech this afternoon which was basically a big ego stroke.
But hey, for someone Tamara Lich said had nothing to do with the occupation, people really seem to think he is the one in charge of it all.

Still not sure I'd want to be tied to this in the long run if I were him.

77. Ouch!
78. Beer break at a friend’s place.
79. I'm REALLY not sure I would want Paul Gosar's endorsement.
82. Not a good look.

85. Jeremy MacKenzie, the defacto leader of the Plaid Army/Diagolon continues to complain about being doxxed.
86. And yes, once again, publishing the address, phone number, etc, of someone that neither I nor @antihateca would EVER knowingly do.
87. However...
You remember this?
You know, when you both sorta, kinda, doxxed me and others?
Didn't have the same concern then, did you Jeremy?

88. So basically what I'm say'n here is that people who live in glass houses best not throw stones.
89. This seems as good a time as any to log off.
Here is Parliament Hill at 2:30 am est.
