4. Anyways, FOX News arrived in Ottawa last night and unlike other news outlets appears to have been unmolested.
I wonder why?
5. They are creating a narrative that the whole world is laughing at the Prime Minister and that he will soon be driven from power because, you know, this protest is all about mandates and totally not an attempt to undo a democratic election from this past October.
6. As giddy as Ezra Levant is about this however, he still seems miffed in Alberta.
7. While the QAnon Queen Romana Didulo was searching for FOX to grant them an interview they may or may not have wanted, she was confronted by other #OttawaOccupiers for her flag burning stunt.
8. Seems that not everyone is a fan.
9. Alex Vriend of the Plaid Army/Diagolon hate group remained on edge but also suggested inside information was being shared and not just rumours.
10. Others also insisted that there would be police action very soon.
11.
12. Right wing extremist politicians from racist political parties such as AfD in Germany are giving the #OttawaOccupiers the thumbs up.
13. And racist Canadian Telegram continues to be racist.
14. I am mildly amused that they are upset that the police are being referred to as Nazis because, as Nazis, they are offended by the comparison.
15. Among the group that have been holding protests in front of politicians homes in Calgary, we have claims the vaccine is giving people HIV and that Trudeau is getting kickbacks.
Again, totally about the mandate. /sarc
16. The Ambassador Bridge situation continues to be a big problem.
20. The person who convinced those blocking the border to remain when they had agreed to leave looks like he'll be cooling his jets until at least next week.
21. Called it! Pat King is responsible for the protest causing delays at the Ottawa Airport. He is doing a feed right now (I'll download, cut it up, and post it when I'm back home).
22. It should be noted that a big reason for Pat's involvement is the petty desire for revenge after being denied a flight due to his vaccination status.
24. And this is perhaps the key part of the clip where he says that the Prime Minister is "going to catch a bullet" and says "someone is gong to dos you in" towards other politicians.
33. And of course there are homophobic jokes. about Trudeau in prison.
34. Now I will take a look at the other videos, but based on this post in Pat's Telegram, it seems that Pat King's ego is a wee bit inflated as he suggests "they" will run Canada.
Elections be damned I guess.
35. One person who is loving all of this is Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenzie.
47. There are a few more Pat King clips from other videos (including a second convoy they did after noon), however this is certainly interesting.
48. Rightwing extremist Artur Pawlowski, who most recently was arrested for convincing the Coutts blockade to remain after they had agreed to leave, is apparently going on a hunger strike.
You know, like when a child has a temper tantrum and holds their breath.
49. A statement read by his equally (though more physically bullying perhaps) younger brother, he recounts all is hardships.
You know, I have difficulty believing someone who drives a BMW will really commit to going out like Bobby Sands.
50. So, maybe we shouldn't be shocked by any of this any longer when people like Moe is already sort of in bed with these types?
After more than two hours of tormenting people at the Ottawa airport, he and Tyson Billings returned to the Coventry camp that the #OttawaOccupiers set up to plan for Friday.
Further coopting of the Residential School tragedy.
52. By 1:00 pm est, they were ready to go back out, this time to torment motorists on the 417.
53. Well this is nice.
Pat basically admits that they are holding the citizens of Ottawa hostage.
54. I'm reminded how dangerous this is as a school bus passes.
55. They brag that they have managed to jam up the 417 so quickly.
56. Encourages walkouts and harassment at schools.
57. Already a traffic jam.
"This is going to be epic."
58. Again, coopting the Residential School genocide, Pat King encourages kids to wear orange tomorrow.
He also invites children "of all ages" to have a dance party with them on Parliament Hill.
Nope. Not creepy at all.
59. They are going to get someone killed.
60. "Jammed up as far as the ey can see."
Apparently that is hilarious.
61. Pat and Tyson think that the people should slow down and relax anyways.
62. "Get down here... we're having fun! Living life!"
"Enjoying the day and the sun comes out and the Lord blesses us and we feel the warmth of his rays on us."
63. In response to someone saying that they are making truckers who don't agree with them bad, Pat says that they are making themselves look bad.
64. People who don't have jobs continue to have a blast holding up people who do.
65. There's more of course, but it is also basically more of the same and I think we've had about enough of Pat King at this point.
66. Having a quick bite to eat but as as always @Noellenarwhal is incredible and you should follow if you don't already.
71. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) continues to shout "LOOK AT ME" as he claims to be bringing supplies to the Coutts border.
72. I grant this is now a dated reference, but I have to imagine that is Mr. Teeth here showed up the "Jersey Shore" casting they would have turned him away as unrealistic and over the top.
I mean it is a couple of days old, but really Randy? RT? Russia Today?
A little on the nose, don't you think?
74. The other Canada First hate group (the one that used to be the Proud Boy chapter, not Tyler Russell's CF) once again indicates the danger of the Conservative Party's decision to get into bed with the devil.
75. The attack a Canadian as a "foreign national" because they don't believe anyone who isn't white is a Canadian.
76. And they continue to instigate.
77. Going to take a break for an hour or two.
Games night doesn't get cancelled, even for Nazis.
78. Or not.
Looks like we are delayed.
I don't get to fight orc and kobolds until 9:00 pm mst.
79. Looks like Pat King made @TheDamageReport which, dude, is not a good look for you fella.
80. Also Ezra thinks that Pat King is a fed which is funny as hell!
85. And with that I’m going to need out for a bit.
Back later.
86. Sorry. That's "nerd" out.
Those owlbears aren't going to slay themselves.
87. So Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First claims to have a "leaked" conversation with @fordnation suggesting the Ontario government will be lifting all mandates soon.
88.
89. And if true, you'll be not at all surprised to learn that this will still not be enough to assuage the blackmailers.
90. Back in Calgary, I missed this jailhouse phone call from Artur Pawlowski earlier in the day.
91.
92. We are also on to day 2 of the angry mob protesting where he is currently being held.
Artur's brother Dawid Pawlowski is whipping up the crowd.
93. I have to admit I'm sort of worn out so I'm not going to clip shorter videos with descriptions. The two parts are almost 10 minutes each. However I think you will be able to see why the Pawlowski brothers are dangerous in these.
Part 1.
94. Part 2.
95. I had a request for some Romana Didulo material.
Long story short. She is no longer in Ottawa. She was in Montreal. And she was sorta, kinda, stranded there.
96. She says the next time she, and the Head of State and Queen of Canada, returns to Montreal she will close down the business and confiscate the rvs that they rent out.
I guess she is a firm, and not at all fair, monarch.
97. Not to worry though! She was able to eventually rent an rv... with a bit of an added expense apparently.
98. After that, it is more of what we have come to expect.
99. Unrelated.

100. Alex Vriend continues to walk around the streets of Ottawa.
101. And a reminder to the @CPC_HQ that you think people who refer to you as Cuckservatives are "your people".
I have a short day tomorrow and will be having lunch with some friends followed by the gym, but I will probably be back at this by 5:00 pm mst at least.
105. Until then, here is Parliament Hill (and a few other locations at varying times) at 2:00 am est.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
1. By now I'm guessing that most of my Twitter followers are aware of the most recent threats against Trudeau and the subsequent of a suspect. I think there is an even more important story though related to the poisonous influence of social media
2. Dawid Zalewski was arrested for making death threats against the Prime Minister. The following video was posted to his second Facebook profile. Be warned that it may be triggering as it promotes graphic violence against the PM and others.
3. Zalewski is clearly not well, but I think would be wrong to dismissively call him "crazy" move on without further examination. There is a reason why he got to this point and I believe we can learn a great deal from his social media footprint.
1. I’ve been enjoying my summer break and have not been paying a lick of attention to the Olympics. Until today however since Twitter has collectively lost the plot.
2. Earlier boxer Imane Khelif defeated her Italian opponent in the first round when Angela Carini quit after 45 seconds stating that she had never been hit so hard.
To be fair, I don’t enjoy being punched in the face either so I can at least sympathize with Carini.
3. Now a preliminary fight would never be important enough to make international news under normal circumstances however we are, as the saying goes, living in interesting times.
1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) was arrested in Calgary on an immigration warrant apparently. He may have since been released, though he has to turn in his passport and remain in southern Alberta.
I'd prefer that he be kicked out immediately.
2. Despite claiming to have been a "political prisoner" many of Yaxley-Lennon's criminal convictions his Islamophobic "activism" and a number of convictions since have had nothing to do with his political views.
3. In 2005, he was convicted assaulting a police officer who intervened during an argument Yaxley-Lennon was having with his then girlfriend.
1/ It's been a while since I've done a thread here, but the recent focus on Pat King got me to wondering what was up with his own Salacious Crumb, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings.
2/ Last time I looked at Billings he was a part of the efforts to set up a permenant camp outside Ottawa so there could be daily protests, though the original plan involved surrounding the police and arresting politicians.
Suffice to say it didn't go anywhere.
3/ Billings and Ron Clark soon headed home, but they both soon got involved in other protests including the anti-carbon tax protests occurring in the province. The numbers at these events have been small but that hasn't stopped from politicians from courting the fringes it seems.
1/ Though I'm not especially active these days, I'm still sometimes gobsmacked by some of the ridiculous (though sadly effective) rage farming by some on the right. Harrison Faulkner of "True North" is just a recent example of that.
2/ So a bit of background. Musical artist Karan Aujla won the 2024 TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award at the award ceremony this past weekend.
I think it was this weekend. Truth be told I don't pay a lot of attention to awards shows.
3/ It should be noted that Aujla has been in Canada for years emigrating as an orphan. He graduated from high school in Canada. The album was produced by a Canadian on a Canadian label.
