2. Parliament Hill at 9: 36 am est and other locations in the area from various times this morning.
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.
4. First it starts with him patting himself on the back and taking credit for the dropping of mask requirements in school.
5. However, he then begins a long rant and attack against Ottawa citizens opposing the #OttawaOccupation.
Naming actual names of administrators and people simply voicing their concerns about the harm being done by the occupation, he proceeds to claim he is "filing papers"
6. Pat King is forever filing papers on Monday.
Now a warning. These video clips are going to make you angry.
And they should.
But those of you who might reasonable be upset probably shouldn't watch because they are genuinely triggering.
7. The gist of it is this.
Pat King wants his supporters to mass report the Facebook group and Twitter account of the movement opposing the occupation, as well as people administering it or even posting on it, to have them kicked off social media.
You know. For freedom.
8. He claims that THEY are the victims of harassment and suggestions counter protester do EXACTLY what the occupiers have been doing for three weeks constitutes harassment and is hazardous for their health.
9. In this case he simply attacks someone who posted for being upset they are in her city and mocks her because of it.
10. He continues to say, "lawyers are filing papers" ("they" are not).
He is angry that counter protesters won't just leave them alone and that they should pay for that crime.
Like, really. This is infuriating.
11. He mocks people's stories of suffering as a result of the occupation. Claims the counter-protesters aren't from Ottawa and real Ottawa citizens support them. Claims the counter-protesters were bused in. Lies again claiming @antihateca received $45 million and is paying them.
12. He further expounds on his conspiracy theory. Also, the occupation hasn't been disruptive. No, it is the police who have set up barricades who have been the problem.
Also, all the stories in the media are lies and the occupiers and border barricades have been wonderful.
13. Mocks LGBTQ suffering as a result of the threats and attacks that have occurred calling them lies. Continues to insist supporters mass report the group opposing them because apparently freedom means only what they deem to be acceptable.
14. He ends this rant with a further threat and attempt to intimidate any one in Ottawa who might thing to oppose them... but really him personally.
15. I of course clipped out names and edited the video to hide names. There a lot more that I could have included because most of the video what Pat King reading the names of people opposing the occupation and demanding his supporters report them.
16. So, how is your blood pressure right now? Mine is sort of off the scale.
This folks is the real Pat King. Vindictive. Petty. A bully.
17. There was more.
He of course continued to push his crypto currency.
Now it isn't for his profit! No! God forbid! It is totally to help all the truckers!
18. Pat says, as an investigative journalist, he is going to head to the Atlantic to report on the 40,000 boats that will be supporting the occupation (don't worry, he has been given permission to leave). He also continues to push his crypto. Finally, a #RamRanch reference.
19. And while there was more, I think it sufficient to end with another threat made by Pat King.
Apparently it is an act of love when Pat protests outside your home in Ottawa. If you do that to him though....
20. And that is pretty much all I can handle of Pat King right now.
Today might be a shorter day as I have an interview scheduled that might take a few hours potentially. Thus updates more limited.
Even still, don't give away the home world.
21. Looking at the Plaid Army/Diagolon crew, it appears that de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie is feeling a great deal of stress.
23. He is also looking for condemnation of the Emergencies Act in interesting places.
So, because they are saying something you like, we should accept the Chinese government as honest now???
Pick a lane!
24. Last night MacKenzie threatened to sue @antihateca for basically reporting on exactly what he has said over the past couple of years as @TonyYvce's thread shows here.
26. We know at least one person is feeling the pressure.
27. Readers might remember that Derek Harrison was the Plaid Army/Diagolon member who said he hoped that a truck would crash through the wall surrounding Parliament... though none of them would do it of course.
28. Recently he suggested that he is now, "going dark."
29. Alex Vriend of Diagolon just keeps on being Alex Vriend which is sort of sad in and of itself.
30.
31. Hey folks. Just a heads up that I’ll be back at this after supper.
Just finished the interview. I hope I didn’t suck. 🙂
32. Jeremy MacKenzie was interviewed by someone with @Reuters. Here is his phone recording. Chris Lysak, whom MacKenzie referred to as the Diagolon head of security and who is now charged with conspiracy to commit murder (among other charges) was discussed
33. Also of interest, Lysak appeared in a picture at Coutts that MacKenzie had posted to his Telegram a few days ago.
The tank top is something to note.
34. Looking quickly at the hate group Canada First, Tyler Russell comments on the leaked audio of Doug Ford from last week (or year, really, I don't even know any longer).
37. But my favourite is when he complains about the Emergency order being undemocratic when he himself happily admits he would eliminate democracy should his side ever gain power.
38. In Ottawa, letters were given to occupiers warning of imminent police action and arrests should they not leave.
40. And it seems some truckers are posting no trespassing signs on their semis because they think that will prevent police action (seems very sovcit to me).
I've already seen tweets where Pat King both pleads with and threatens the police to "stand down". Here is a longer excerpt which includes a claim that "they know" a sonic boom machine is being brought in to use against them.
Uhm, okay?
47. In another part he suggests ATB is totally 100% for the occupiers.
49. Later, proving again he doesn't know how anything actually works, Pat King claims that because the Ottawa police chief resigned and the papers warning occupiers of arrest isn't singed that the order isn't legal.
Sigh.... that's not how any of this works Pat.
50. I have to say that morale doesn't seem especially high.
But then they get to the honking horns and get all excited again.
51. Those horns might ultimately cause Pat King a whole heap of problems however.
52. There a confrontation with the police as a truck was pulling out.
53. Turns out the owner of the truck wanted it back.
As it pulled away Pat King and the others celebrated as, they claim, two more moved in.
"I love playing chess."
Dude, you would get confused by checkers.
54. Pat continues to call for more trucks to jam things up.
55. More of the same of Pat King providing future incriminating evidence.
56. We get to hear some conspiracy theories (Ottawa is a city dedicated to Satan), pseudo-legal woo, and then Pat King telling police that their orders are unlawful.
57. Pat King really does think that he is the smartest man in the room, doesn't he?
58. I'm going to post the next two without much comment other than get ready for more Pat King yelling about how good at chess he is and claiming the media is in on something... what that something is isn't very clear, but they're definitely in on "it."
59. I mean, there really aren't that many of them at all at this point.
60. Unlike Pat King who is still oblivious to the trouble he is likely in, Tamara Lich however appears to have come to understand the gravity of the situation and that weight has come crashing down on her.
2. So I left off talking about Pat King's stream last night and though it was a bit later in the clip, Pat actually used they "I have a Jewish" lawyer argument to "prove" he isn't a racist.
2. I was sent this yesterday. It is a clip of another occupier that catches Pat King in a conversation.
Pat said he was sick but got better. He then adds that this is "survival of the fittest" which is an odious suggestion that those who die are not fit to live.
3. Now I don't want to focus a lot on Pat King, but he did post a "patrol" video last night.
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.
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
