1. Looks like there was movement after I went to bed.

Yesterday's thread below.



#COVIDConvoy #TruckersForFreedom #FluTruxKlan #TruckersConvoy2022 #KarenConvoy #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #Canpoli #Cdnpoli #CdnMediaFailed #GoHomeFluTruxKlan #GoHomeConvoy
2. Parliament Hill at 10:00 am est as well as screen shots of other locations in the area at various times in the morning.
3. Also this was sent to me and, because you all deserve a laugh and I am fundamentally a puerile child when it comes to but cracks...
4. It looks like police have started to enforce the injunction at the Ambassador Bridge.

cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…
5. The response so far is what you would expect.

Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky aka Mr. Teeth) calls on supporters to harass one of the towing companies assisting in the effort to clear the bridge.
6. antihate.ca/antisemitic_is…
7. In the meantime far-right extremist pseudo-journalist Leigh Stewart is promoting the blocking of a second bridge in Ontario.
8. Quick side-note. CTV did a story that looked at the funding of the occupation not taking place on GiveSendGo.

ctvnews.ca/canada/who-is-…
9. While the @gofundme appeared to be primarily funded, the GiveSendGo primairly appears to be funded by foreign donors
10. GiveSendGo has been a crowdfunding platform utilized by a number of right-wing extremists, including the Proud Boys.

theguardian.com/world/2021/apr…
11. It is also currently being used by a number of people seeking financial help for legal fees related to their involvement in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol Building in Washington DC.

These are a fraction of the examples that can be found.
12. In a video clip posted to his FB page, #OttawaOccupier Jim Kerr notes an increase in the number of police officers present.
13.
14. In a video Kerr shared, we see there is more tension as the police confiscate more supplies from the #OttawaOccupiers including tents for their human shields... er... I mean children.

Also, Soros conspiracy reference in the comments.
15. The clip is long and I want to post it in its entirety so It will be in four parts.

Part 1.
16. Part 2.
17. Part 3.
18. Part 4.

We finish with a conversation with an OPP officer Tanya heard say he was empathetic.

The conversation is fascinating to me.
19. Back at the Peace Bridge pseudo-journalist and far-right activist Leigh Stewart posted footage of occupiers forming a chain to stop traffic.

Can't help note what looks like a pro-Trump flag.
20.
21. Also, remember that these people and their supporters are non-violent. /sarc

22. So, how about some news from QAnon self-proclaimed Queen of Canada Romana Didulo.

You won't be surprised to learn that if the border is cleared she is going to claim it was on her orders because she is already doing that.
23.
24. She also doesn't seem to like that the #OttawaOccupiers are sharing the spotlight that she believes should be hers alone.
25.
26. She also continues to freak out her supporters by claiming WWIII it imminent.
27.
28. Not to worry though, it is not going to be a traditional world war.

Also the martial law she instituted isn't a traditionally martial law... and THAT is why you can't see the soldiers from Canada and the US she has mobilized!

Really. People believe actually this.
29. By the way, you might be asking what the great and powerful Queen of Canada (and as she has implied elsewhere the world, universe, and spiritual realm) based on these screen shots isn't in her royal convoy.
30. Well, that might be because the most powerful entity in the universe aside from God couldn't convince the rental place to allow her to keep the rvs.
31. Now as much as we can laugh at this farce, we need to remember that Didulo has a significant following and she has written very incendiary things.

antihate.ca/_lead_in_the_h…
32. It only takes one of her 70,000+ followers on Telegram to take what she says seriously for a tragedy to occur.

antihate.ca/queen_of_canad…
33. Looks like I put the wrong video up at tweet 27.

Here is Didulo's WWIII fearmongering (and trashing other #OttawaOccupiers).
34. Evidently a group of people Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenzie describes as veterans tore down a fence around the National War Memorial to protect it from further desecration.

Apparently he is supper cool with this.
35. And as he makes fun of his hotel room I as someone who has travelled to 31 other countries can say really, it isn't that bad.

Ever sleep in a hotel with a hole in the wall separating two rooms? I have.

And not a small peep hole. You could pass a large dog through it.
36. Charles Adler isn't wrong as @PierrePoilievre continues to try to take advantage of what is basically now an insurrection to build his brand.

37. The racist Canada First group that used to be a Proud Boy chapter (as opposed to the equally racist Canada First hate group led by Tyler Russell) posted a clip of police seemingly advancing in Windsor at the Ambassador Bridge blockade.
38.
39. So who are the "patriots" that @PierrePoilievre is appealing to?

How about these ones in Southampton, ON driving by a counter-protest, coughing towards the participants, and shouting homophobic slurs before loudly driving away.

Good people right? Salt of the earth.
40. In Toronto, anti-mandate occupiers are walking down Yonge St.

41. Well at least they aren't allowed to carry fuel with them.

42. Canada First (the former Proud Boys chapter, not Tyler Russell's) and Plaid Army/Diagolon member Alex Vriend post about the confrontation at the National War Monument. Vriend posts video footage.
43. Again, not sure why this video was spaghettized.
44. antihate.ca/holocaust_deni…
45. More on Monique Leal as well.

reddit.com/r/toronto/comm…
46. And Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) posts footage at a bloackade of another border at Cornwall, ON.
47.
48. Totally normal stuff in Toronto.

49. And the "doctor" that came to advise Donald Trump on medical issues related to Covid speaks in Ottawa,

50. With this in mind, might I make an apropos book recommendation?

amazon.ca/Demon-Haunted-…
51. We still calling this peaceful?

52. There looks to be a significant counter-protest in Ottawa against the #OttawOccupiers right now.

53. Push back is also starting in Edmonton.

54. Elsewhere in Alberta there is another convoy getting ready to move that is totally only about Covid mandates.
55. The same "reporter" who has been interviewing Pat King in Ottawa is in Acheson, AB which begs the question... how did she get there?

Did she drive? Did she fly.

If the later, that would be rather interesting now wouldn't it?
56. In any case she begins by interviewing a convoy supporter who is in her 90s.

Yep. They are dragging a woman along whose age group is at most risk of dying from this disease.
57. She then talks to "Big John" (because of course) who seems to be one of the organizers and who suggests that they have some "tricks up their sleeves" that won't be revealed until later.
58. Our intrepid and not-so-unbiased reporter says she wants the truckers to take the lead in the direction of the country and in negotiations. "Big John" says that what Kenney has done isn't enough and also is angry there might be consequences for having broken laws and stuff.
59. I knew that there would be occasion for me to use this!

60. "Reporting for 'The Real Pat King'" because Pat King is "freedoming" today.

He must think he already won his non-existent defamation suit against the CBC and is a media outlet now?
61. You know, I'll end this clip like this.

I think I have found the common ground between the anti-mandate cranks and reasonable people who want the science to determine when to end mandates.

Both sides know that @jkenney is a pathetic joke.
62. Pacific Highway border in British Columbia has been blocked.

63.
64. More pushback from counter-protesters.

Is this in Kingston?

65. An assault by an anti-mandate supporter against a counter-protester (I think in Winnipeg) took place in front of a police officer.

Guess what happened.

Exactly what you think.

66. With this in mind however, this thread by @GrimeNinja is an especially important read.

67. This incredible thread shows how the Edmonton Police are willing to accommodate anti-mandate protesters by threatening to forcibly removing counter-protesters standing in their way to prevent their disruption.

68. Excellent article by @pressprogress on some of the people bankrolling the now nation-wide insurrection.

pressprogress.ca/we-are-fed-up-…
69. Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenise noting the police haven't acted in Windsor.
70. I would note that, while not visible in this clip, there are a lot of young children present.
71. MacKenzie also continues to celebrate the removal of the fence around the National War Memorial and harassment of journalists whose "crime" was reporting information the conspiracy supporters didn't like.
72.
73. A reminder that this is some of the "acceleration" that Jeremy and his supporters want.

antihate.ca/jeremy_mackenz…
74. antihate.ca/jeremy_raging_…
75.
76. And fellow accelerationist Alex Vriend of the Plaid Army/Diagolon shares a Jordan Peterson tweet.
77. Dr. Peterson might remember the Hydra was ultimately defeated with the help of fire.

I'm not sure that is a direction in which he or anyone else should want to do.

rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
78. More on Alex Vriend.

antihate.ca/holocaust_deni…
79. Hey, I finally found someone arrested for blockading traffic!

Of course it was in Winnipeg. And it was an Indigenous two-spirited person who was blocking a convoy that traveling to a location where they could block traffic.

80. QAnon influencer and self-declared Queen of Canada Ramona Didulo continues to pretend she is responsible for any police action that occurs at the border to deal with blockades
81. She labeled this video, "Military cleaning up at th [sic] Windsor border."
82. antihate.ca/queen_of_canad…
83. 😀
84.
85. Rex Murphy is trending.

You already know why.
86. And as @worldmeetjohn notes, this is also Rex Murphy from 11 years ago when the Occupy Movement was in full swing and less disruptive.

87. Of course @PierrePoilievre is sharing a video by bloviating buffoon @billmaher.

Also, only conservatives and the far-right think that Mahr is a liberal or that people on the left actually care what he says.
88. Also, context is kinda, sorta, important.

89. I wonder what the difference here is?

90. And of course Rand Paul has to share his thoughts on occupations.

cnn.com/2022/02/12/pol…
91. Jeremy MacKenzie is still super excited about the fence protecting the National War Memorial being torn down.
92. Of course the fence had been put up because #OttawaOccupiers had been desecrating the monument.

globalnews.ca/news/8615564/f…
93. Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay also comment.

94. To which Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenzie replied.
95. MacKenzie also reminds us once again that this really isn't about mandates at all.
96. antihate.ca/jeremy_mackenz…
97. Still with the War Memorial, a twitter user erroneously suggested that a photograph shows #OttawaOccupiers giving a Nazi salute.

While this isn't the case, the formerly Proud Boy chapter that rebranded as Canada First looks forward to the day that this is true.
98. And again, those Conservatives who think they can embrace this insurrection and ride it to power, they don't like you either.
99. The former PB chapter rebranded as Canada First (again, not Tyler Russell's Canada First though equally racist) continue to urge defiance at the Ambassador Bridge.
100.
101. They also celebrate the convoy that hit Edmonton by boosting a Telegram account called "AlbertaBased."
102. Video clips have been combined.
103. And if there were any question about the ideology of "AlbertaBased" this probably answers those questions.
104. Pat King appears to be taking a break to help promote investing in crypto currency.

You know. For freedom.
105. One of the comments was yet another threat directed at the media for having the audacity to report things they don't want to accept.
106. The revolution may not be televised, but you can buy it for $22.95 while supplies last.
107. This guy claims that because of @fordnation that all truckers are quitting.

Or some. Or most.

I'm not entirely sure that he's clear himself,
108. So what you're saying is that you aren't a trucker any longer so those mandates to cross the border no longer affect you and you're going home not to start looking for alternative employment?

Yeah... I didn't actually think so.
109. I'm actually watching Pat King's live stream where they are talking about investing in crypto.

Without going into too much detail yet, I wouldn't trust these people to walk my dog, never mind give me investing advice... and I don't own a dog.
110. Well this seems not at all cool.

111. Roh roh Shaggy!

112. Included here with no commentary one way or another.

113. Well this seems like an escalation.

Still your people @PierrePoilievre? How about you @CandiceBergenMP?

bc.ctvnews.ca/convoy-protest…
114. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) claims to have made it past @RCMPAlberta checkpoints and is driving to the Coutts border crossing.
115.
116. antihate.ca/antisemitic_is…
117. antihate.ca/chris_saccocci…
118. antihate.ca/covid_conspira…
119. There also continues to be activity outside the Calgary Remand Centre where Artur Pawlowski is being held. @JaneQCitizen covers it, including threats of "bloodshed" from Artur's wife Marzeana and his brother Dawid should he not be released.

120. antihate.ca/covid_conspira…
121. During the summer of 2021, Pawlowski did an American tour which was organized and where he made connections with some people involved in the planning of the January 6 insurrection.

antihate.ca/calgary_hate_p…
122. antihate.ca/timeline_hate_…
123. antihate.ca/artur_pawlowsk…
124. I've done a number of threads here on the Pawlowski brothers.

125. He also has a history with the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam, Soldiers of Odin, III% militia, and other hate groups.

126. While celebrating a pro-occupy march/PPC rally in Montreal, Canada First (the former Proud Boy chapter, not Tyler Russell's) also get to throw in a little anti-immigration into the mix.
127. Okay, this is going to be much longer than it deserves to be, but remember when I alluded to Pat King getting into the crypto game?

Yeah, it is worse and even dumber than I thought.
128. I won't post all of it, but this is basically an infomercial for a crypto currently Pat King claims he and the rest created.

And if you listen to this and trust any of these fools with your money, sweet Mary you are lost! lol
129. The infomercial continues. The continue to talk about the website.
130. Yep. Here it is.

Fancy!
131. They you can't lose anything.

As someone who has invested in crypto for fun, I will assure you that you CAN and most certainly WILL lose money, especially if you trust this brain trust.
132. They compare this to a casino where you are guaranteed to come up with your number with every turn of the wheel.

I feel the need to scream into a sack.
133. But know, this is for the truckers who have lost and sacrificed so much.

They only want to help, dontcha know?
134. No words.
135. After the infomercial, Pat King and the team were back on the road.
136. So we start with an explanation why his Facebook was down.

Turns out it wasn't the government out to get him. No, he was reported for hate speech (by people he calls trolls).

But don't worry. He apologizes to those who felt offended.
137. Oh, it is the @OttawaPolice fault the roads are impassable.

No. Self. Reflection. At. All.
138. He talks about his pipe.

He has clearly put it together. He has clearly put it in a box. He is very certain of this fact.
139. Turns out there was a serious accident.

Are we taking bets on the likely cause?
140. Pat says that he is giving the pipe away for a year to engage in the ceremonies of "his people" to make him a worthy pipe carrier.

Pat King is not indigenous.

Also says he is giving up alcohol. Probably good, but I remain dubious.
141. As you listen to this I again remind you all.

Pat King is not Indigenous.
142. Pat complains "they" are messing with his GPS.

Also, again, Pat King is NOT Indigenous.
143. He really, REALLY wants people to know he doesn't have a drinking problem.
144. Now some talk about the crypto infomercial.

Seems that there might have been some blowback.
145. They are so lost.
146. Tyson Billings also pipes up and Pat King agrees.

This helps us, to help the truckers.
147. It could be this.
148. But is more likely this.
149. How can they be so lost after being there more than two weeks? I am personally offended and my sense of direction, despite having a Minor in Geography from my first degree, is awful.
150. Oh, now Pat is complaining about how kids are messed up these days. That they get all triggered. Also, pronouns.

Would you believe he decides a transphobic joke is funny?

Of course you would.
151. Pat King actually says he doesn't like offending people immediately after.

My friends, irony is dead.
152. But finally Pat King and his party hit the hottest nightclub in Ottawa that smells of diesel, chewing tobacco spit, urine, and desperation.

So, to be fair, a normal nightclub.
153. I guess they decided to ignore the injunction and the noise bylaws again.
154. Okay. I couldn't help myself.

I took a closer look at crypto currency website Pat King is a partner in and is pushing.

Oh.

My.

God.

I can't even begin to tell you how funny I find this all.

If people invest in this scam, dear lord! They will lose so much money!
155. Then again, how could you go wrong when you have this brain trust behind the operation?
156. That's okay though. I'm sure the partners will provide a sense of confidence at least.

Uhm...
157. After two weeks of this, good lord knows I needed a laugh!

Thank Pat. Thank you so very, very, much.
158. Word is there was a convoy going to the Peace Bridge. Organized by Denby Morgan along with Daniel Wagner. It may already be there now.
159.
160. OPP

"I support you guys 100%."

161. Soooo, I know there are several more hours that I could do this but... I think I'm going to call it a night.

I mean, more than 160 tweet threads is bordering on unhealthy.

So here is Parliament Hill at 11:20 pm est and other locations at various times this evening.

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

toronto.ctvnews.ca/rcmp-arrest-ma…
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.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Image
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. Image

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. Image
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.

He has made his home here.
