🧵Part II : Canadian Truckers Update

Some more key Characters and organisations
Online organising
Funding
Insurrection
International spread

Case of Emergency has just been declared
2/ Unsurprisingly there's been a lot of disinformation about the Siege

Disinfo groups exaggerating the size
RW media ignoring or distancing the far right links

A fact check on the past week
3/ People have been busy detailing the coalition of extremist, Qanon conspiracy, neo nazis, anti vaxxers etc
4/ Another article covering those involved
5/ And a final article which covers some of the same and others, if I've got time I might do a rough network map of all of this

6/ As predicted Hodkinson is heavily involved, links to Yeadon and Pandata members, he's been involved in all sorts of groups

7/ And Paul E Alexander, Trump advisor who called for herd immunity, now contributing to Brownstone Institute

brownstone.org/author/paul-el…
8/ Brownstone Institute has Jeffery Tucker from Koch linked AIER as a key member

Also the AIER linked Great Barrington Declaration authors
9/ Good resource here of individuals and organisations, here's Paul E Alexander's page and people he's worked with
starsofcovid.github.io/person_paul-el…
10/ Paul E Alexander also linked to the Koch backed Atlas Network

Very detailed look at Atlas Network and its funders Inc John Templeton Foundation, ExxonMobil, Cato, usual lot etc

Linked to IEA in UK
desmog.com/atlas-economic…
11/ Hodkinson and Alexander were two of the main speakers at the Conveys "Science Council" providing alternative facts for the conspiracy theorists to claim everyone but them are lying
12/ Can see that the aim is to not just stop mandates, its about toppling the government
13/ A manifesto has been published
14/ One of the Conveys big GoFundMe donors says if demands aren't met then civil war is the only way.

It's Insurrection, it's threatening terrorism, and a lot of support and funding will be coming from outside of Canada
15/ Its all about fringe groups amplifying themselves to look much larger, mainstream RW media provides a big boost, a look at some Facebook groups leads to account that have been hacked and in Bangladesh

16/ There was a mess up on the Conveys grifting site, leaked lists of donors are heading journalists way

17/ More on this here
18/ As you can see lots of foreign actors and groups are involved in the Siege

Really good thread here looking at the white nationalist antivax Telegram groups looking to target other cities

The far right have managed to recruit and unite cross borders
19/ Convey in Bern
20/ Vienna and a bit on Bern
21/ This is going to prove to be a serious issue in many countries, we're dealing with anti democratic insurgents, As restrictions lighten they get more organised and problematic, they aren't going away

More on Telegram groups organising across Europe
www-tagesanzeiger-ch.translate.goog/trucker-protes…
22/ No suprise to see US Conveys being planned for 5th March, lots of artificial amplifying online, they need the real world followers to believe they are part of a massive movement, in the UK such groups always think they're part of a "silent majority"

🧵Latest SAGE advice to UK government

➡️SAGE minutes
➡️SPI
➡️Future evolution of SARS-COV-2

In summary, this doesn't support details coming out about the Government's "living with covid" plans
2/ To start with, future evolution of the virus document and the discussion of this in the SAGE meeting

Possible scenarios Image
3/ All scenarios assume we reach stable reoccurring patterns over a 2-10 year period

Immune escape of future variants and waning immunity will be important factors

Possible to end up with more than one variant co-circulating Image

Is this really appropriate behaviour from an organisation which is funding and acting as secretariat to a UK All Party Parliamentary Group?

A student at Stanford questions Bhattacharya's actions through the pandemic and they call him a snake

1/
2/ Then the pile on begins with the offer of a debate, but hosted and moderated by Prasad, not exactly a fair neutral when he's also been involved with Bhattacharya and Brownstone

"Hey want to play on an unequal playing field" Image
3/Worth bearing in mind that the offer was made for a town hall where Bhattacharya could answer to the student body, however despite his large international profile, Bhattacharya and his minions feel the need to set their own terms, looks like cowardice

Short🧵In 2020 the Government shifted responsibilities to newly formed JBC

This was supposed to be the group that would be responsible for deciding when measures would be removed

Have they had any involvement in governments latest declare everything over strategy?
Remember the Viral Nandos chart and other iterations?

This was supppsee to have come from JBC, with them deciding what level of risk we are at

Problem is the JBC is shrouded in complete secrecy nearly two years after its creation.

We don't have a member list
We don't get minutes released
We haven't even heard any reference to them for a long time

I wonder if any Journalist will ask about JBC?

We've reached the point where the mob is looking for excuses to kick off, RW politicians and Media can now direct the mob with a single sentence

Same forces that acted when Trump said March of Capitol Hill
1/2
I notice this mob is calling itself the UK Freedom Convey, picking up directly off the orchestrated action in Canada

/2
Wonder why the mob is shouting about free masons, paedophiles and New World ordered? I see Piers Corbyn was there

Oh look its "Freedom" fighters assemble hanging out with Qanon John Mappin

I'm sure its all a coincidence

🧵Canadian Truckers, a case study on how the International Covid Disinformation Network operates to distort political debate and radicalise with the aim of destabilising democracies.

It's a cross border project
2/ To start with, the antivaxxers and disinformation groups are hiding behind anti mandate banners around the world are celebrating the Truckers, its no coincidence start of the convey coincided with Antivax fest in the US, expect copycat events elsewhere
3/ The convey is very similar to a 2020 Truckers rally in Mitchigan, same messaging, actions and even ppl, the aim is to bring the city to a halt, several UK commentators supporting this whilst they were all for locking up climate protestors last year
