Think back to early 2000’s and 9/11 fall out. Multiple Muslim terror cells attacking American hegemony and democracy.
But who did the terrorists really harm. Their own unsuspecting citizens.
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr Al Qaida, ISIS, and other radicalized terrorist groups killed way more innocent Muslim people by spreading chaos, just like these far right militant religious nuts are planning on doing in Canada now.
And what happened when Iraq was invaded by the US?
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr It destabilized the region, allowed the military industry to profit greatly, permitted widespread corruption to dominate which many American neoliberals used to create wealth. At the expense of the Iraqi people.
History is rhyming.
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr American far right vilified Iraqi Muslim dissidents, the US military murdered Iraqi citizens, in the millions. In search of weapons of mass distraction that didn’t exist and to depose Saddam Hussein from power. Hussein was a dictator.
PMJT is not. He was elected legitimately.
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr The real agenda has emerged in hindsight. It was the oil and natural resources that neoliberals were after.
What do we have in great abundance in Canada? Natural resources.
History rhymes.
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr US Oligarchs & Republicans and a few foreign adversaries, with the assistance of a fifth column far right faction of Canadian Dominionist Christian conservatives are attempting to overthrow the Liberal government under the guise of freedom.
There are left and right libertarians working diligently to create confusion and point fingers at PMJT and the governing party for the failure to quell this chaos.
But the bottleneck is provincial con govts.
@HeatherMoAndCo@jaredlholt@NNvestr They are refusing to ask for assistance from the federal govt. Even though several municipal authorities have requested federal back up.
Cons are traitors. Kenney & Ford are behind this charade. It’s not a protest. It’s an invasion and attempted coup d’état.
We give these people legitimacy by not challenging their extremist beliefs. By accepting far right ideology as legitimate and acceptable for a pluralist social democracy, we make it an available option.
@leftmindset@albertaNDP We must remove that option. Some people believe in anarchy, communism, fascism. But as a society we reject those options because they are inconsistent with democratic principles.
Authoritarian theocracy is incompatible with democratic governance.
@leftmindset@albertaNDP People are free to prefer authoritarianism, but they are not free to impose those beliefs on the rest of us.
But that’s what is happening. Libertarians have rejected democracy, the social contract, pluralism, humanism, secularism and liberalism.
Clinging to the false narrative and belief that this is about freedom and liberty and is just a rowdy protest, they’ve convinced themselves (with much SM help) that police should have had this shut down in a day.
Completely ignoring details that demonstrate this is not a protest but a well planned coordinated attack on democracy. Sanctioned by Kenney and UCP and federal conservative MPs.
They’re listening to the gaslighting of trolls and bots.
Their tunnel vision precludes them from considering anything they can’t see through the end of the tunnel.
Frankly I’m sick of it and it needs to be called out!
People, open your eyes & remove the tunnel vision. Look beyond the end of your nose, for once.
I wrote this thread the day after the last federal election.
I was angry. And scared. I knew a minority government was less equipped to address the expected insurrection and attempt at a coup. I knew a coup was being planned since 2019.
While we are all in a state of trauma because Dominionist Christians are occupying public spaces of Canadian cities and harassing healthcare workers and citizens, Robert Fife is revealing his Kremlin issued cards.
Spreading damaging and scandalous propaganda to smear the federal government while simultaneously advancing a clearly Russian agenda.
If you were wondering about Russian involvement in this nation wide siege by Q’Anon nuts and Evangelical Christians, wonder no more.
Fife is letting us all know Canadian conservatives are as deeply embedded in Russian collusion as Trump and Republicans GOP.
Check out the amplifiers of this disinformation.
Notice that commentary is representing both left and right libertarians.
@mattgurney’s analysis is relatively accurate. But it’s incomplete.
He’s looking at the situation as a military situation. And it is, but the group of people behind this are using terrorist tactics.
They’re hiding behind women and children. A bouncy castle is a dead giveaway.
So who are these people who have placed numerous children in the middle of a military siege?
They are primarily Dominionist Christian nationalists and conspiracy theorist Q’Anon. Some white supremacists, left and right anarchists, a few radicalized FN and paid saboteurs.
