2. Parliament Hill at 9:32 am est as well as screen shots from other cameras in the area at various times this morning.
3. First, a few things I didn't notice yesterday.

The Canada First group that used to be a Proud Boys chapter posted a video purporting to video from the BC border.
4.
5. Also, Pat King's ex had an announcement yesterday.
6. Oh come on! I know RT (Russia Today) have no credibility, but surely even THEY would have standards!

Right?

Those who aren't familiar with Kelly Anne Farkas (Wolfe), these are what she claims as her credentials.
7. Aside from forming groups that she gets to lead (and which generally consist of few members other than herself), she actually seems to think people will believe these are real professional credentials.

But we aren't done.

antihate.ca/anti_masker_cl…
8. And like her ex Pat King, she has claimed Indigenous heritage.

And also like Pat King, she is a lying liar who lies.

10. I can go on and on and on and on.

So yeah! Not even RT would platform Kelly Farkas!

Except.... oh.

Oh dear god.
11. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
12. So here is some of the wit and wisdom of Kelly Anne Farkas (aka Kelly Anne Wolfe) yesterday.
13. "Trudeau has VIOLATED SECTION 1, 7 AND 13 of international law."

First, the Oxford comma. Please use it.

Second, what "international law"? What on earth are you even talking about?

STOP MAKING UP THINGS TO MAKE YOURSELF SOUND SMART!

I assure you it isn't working!
14. Looking at the Plaid Army/Diagolon, Alex Vriend posted a breathless Tucker Carlson suggesting Canada is now a dictatorship when we know he would celebrate if the Emergencies Act had been invoked to deal with BLM or Indigenous protests.
15. He also shared footage of the BC border blockade being broken up allegedly.
16.
18. And defacto leader of the Plaid Army/Diagolon is platforming an unverified video suggesting the weapons seized at Coutts was a setup.
19.
20. Given that Diagolon patches were found on the body armor, I'm guessing that Jeremy might be nervous about the connection.

23. Joshua Switzer-Crowe (aka Angry Albertan) congratulated the Coutts folks while also voicing concern for the sovcit element and what he thins is the possibility the weapons were planted.
24. And this these quick updates I'm off to work. Back in a few short hours.

Also, and you may have hear this somewhere, but don't give away the home world.
25. I was sent some other footage about the action that took place at the border blockade in BC.
26.
27. And though I haven't discussed the border blockade at Emerson, it also appears that is ending as well.

29. In many ways though the big border story remains Coutts where there were weapons seized and arrests made.

Initially 11, there are now 13 in custody.

globalnews.ca/news/8618494/a…
30. As @antihateca noted, the patches one one of the tactical vests (or body armor, as I am unfamiliar with military equipment) has patches of the accelerationist group Diagolon.

31. This brings me to Plaid Army/Diagolon de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie.

antihate.ca/jeremy_raging_…
32.
33. In a Telegram post today, while denying knowledge of who it was and who distributed the patches calling them "cheap off brand", MacKenzie does appear to confirm that they are meant to be Diagolon patches.
34. While he claims that he doesn't know anyone associated with Diagolon what was associated with the Coutts blockade, that might not exactly be true.

Not saying more than that for now.
35. Jeremy's own rhetoric has become increasingly concerning over the past 24 hours. The following clips come from his live stream last night.
36. Paranoia about his phone being tapped, cars at the ends of his driveway, concerns that something might be planted on his property, and stating that a former RCMP officer is claiming there may be a "false flag" of some sort soon.
37. Talking about the sacrifices he has made for the cause including losing his family.

"I'm not the surrendering type. Sorry. And the more you attack me the more I will fight you."
38. Introducing a song by Greg Arcade, MacKenzie states: "No matter what happens, it is what it is. I was ready to die, and I hoped I didn't, but I was ready to die in Afghanistan for a cause I didn't even fucking believe in or care about. I care very much about this one."
40. Sorry, I read this incorrectly.

MacKenzie wasn't saying that the patches were "cheap off brand." He was suggesting that the vests were cheap off brand.

That is an important distinction.
41. Let's get to who was there that MacKenzie knew.

Turns out it is one of the men who was arrested.

42. The reddit user who found the names on the flag can be found sharing it here.

reddit.com/r/alberta/comm…
44. By the way, as Pat has been quiet on Facebook you may be thinking that he hasn't been busy.

Well I'm here to tell you he has been busy... mostly promoting what looks to be a scam weight loss pill on Telegram.
46. And also whatever the hell this is.
47. I wonder if Pat King is trying to be come the Ron Popeil of the Canadian "patriot" movement?

If he tries selling the Pocket Fisherman next we'll know for certain.
48. It looks like the Coutts blockade protesters have moved to a friendly farm 20 km away.

I mean, okay. Fill your boots.
49. Joshua Switzer-Crowe (aka "Angry Albertan") is befuddled by this decision.
50. In Ottawa, Jeremy MacKenzie and Alex Vriend drive around the city. Suffice it to say they are a bit on edge.
51.
52. Also, Jeremy's subscribers are also talking about the Diagolon patches found on the vest which was among the seized weapons from Coutts.
53. Also of interest, journalists are picking up on the "press conferenc" (sans press) in which Pat King and others presented themselves as leaders of the movement.

54. Tamara Lich has also noticed.

She doesn't seem pleased.
55. Life comes at you hard sometimes.

qpbriefing.com/2022/02/15/sen…
56. The de facto leader of Diagolon, Jeremy MacKenzie, continues to rail against the official leadership of the #OttawaOccupation. Here he directs his ire at BJ Dichter.
57.
58. We also see evidence that #OttawaOccupiers are already being affected by the Emergencies Act.
59.
60. In short, he doesn't seem to be having an especially good day.
62. As for fellow Diagolon member Alex Vriend, it seems that his brain is currently on the fritz and is having some difficulty dealing with the news.
64. Looking at sitting MP Randy Hillier, he seems now to be pushing debunked conspiracy theories.
66.
68. By the way and regarding some of the items found in the weapons cache that featured the vest with Diagolon patches, I'm just going to put this right here.
69. I was speaking to a journalist earlier today who told me that the horns had resumed (I could hear them through the phone as she was in Ottawa). Of course this started up a few days ago.

Today, a response.

70. In Alberta, Logan Murphy celebrates Coutts as a great victory for reasons I'm not entirely certain.
71. I'm not entirely certain the other blockade participants feel the same way.
72.
73. He also promises a raffle having achieved the massive number of 500 followers (I assume his January 6 MAGA Epiphany Day book where he whitewashes the event and claims there was no violence) while stroking his own ego.
74. However, he does seem to feel the need to address, and dismiss, the Diagolon connection to the blockade.
75. Last one of the day, a reminder that Tyler Russell of Canada First who has been in Ottawa (not sure if he still is) isn't really for everyone's "freedom."
77. And with that I am off to bed.

Parliament Hill at 1:47 am est and other locations nearby at various times this evening (or this morning I guess).

3. So last night I downloaded Pat King's latest video. As an illustration of how unhinged it was, let me show you one of screen captures from it.

It really is representative of what you will see throughout. Image

2. Parliament Hill at 9:18 am est and other webcam images at various times this morning.
3. So yesterday I listened to a Twitter Spaces meeting and Q&A with some of the leadership including BJ Dichter. It was an often acrimonious discussion, much related to the letter Tamara Lich and @JimWatsonOttawa negotiated. Suffice it to say there is dissention.

Okay, a brain palate cleanser.

I find myself watching YouTube more than I do even streaming services.

And because I often expose myself to mental drek, I need things that help to relax me.

Hence, mudlarking videos. 1/8
So with that, my first recommendation (no particular order, btw).

Nicola White (@TideLineArt) is charming and incredibly knowledgeable. She is also a pipe whisperer because she can sniff out clay pipes like a bloodhound can track a fugitive. 2/8

Second recommendation is Simon of Si-finds (@si_finds)

Simon also sells some of his finds on Etsy (I think he still does) as well as his Mudlover merch. 3/8
