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.
4. When he learned about Tamara Lich crying, he said the pressure was getting to people and he, like the other organizers, are feeling the stress.
5. He brags about having "secretly" audio recorded the interview that he had with @cbcfifth like the cat who caught the canary.
First, okay? That's a big deal because?
Second, he never comes of good in the interviews he "secretly" records. Often he comes off worse.
6. Third, as I was being interviewed by @cbcfifth at the same time, I suggested that it was a 100% that Pat would record it.
They didn't care.
7. When show the papers given to the occupiers telling them they needed to leave, Pat King continued to erroneously claim that they were not legitimate and nothing could be done to remove them.
8. You see, Galaxy Brain Pat thinks he has found a loophole!
9. There was more but you get the gist. We'll end with Pat King again encouraging honking of horns in spite of the injunction which he seems to think he can reject with impunity.
10. Moving back to Alberta and the Coutts border issue, Logan Murphy appears to be holding down the fort there or perhaps at the new location 20 km away.
11. This is a rather bonkers interview given by a friendly "reporter" (Selena who is the same one who last I saw was reporting for "The Real Pat King."
12. However, it seem that there are now those who now believe Pat King is an infiltrator now, thus continuing the formation of the circular firing squad.
13. As it turns, and perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise, a large part of Logan Murphy's motivation appears to be the desire to be a part of history, though he has an overblown sense of his own importance as well as this event.
14.
15. His continued slavish adoration for Donald Trump and unwavering acceptance of his lies also include a significant element of his desire to be a part of history.
16. Anyways, we continue to see "fake news" references, support for Artur Pawlowski, and an apparent plan to cause issues at the Legislature during the throne speech.
17. Finally, he posted a reference to the Cooutts raid.
18. This morning Murphy was warning that 10 buses of OPP were on their way to Ottawa.
19. As of this morning, there is a rumour that Pat King has left Ottawa then tried to go back but got stuck in Gantineau. I'll find out more when I get home.
20. Okay, full disclosure. I know I half-assed this morning update but I am tired and cranky and I think I'm allowed an off day once in a while.
But as always, until I get back from work...
21. Just got home and learned that Chris Barber was arrested.
24. I'm in the process of downloading videos so I'll have more on this soon.
In the meantime the talk online is becoming more desperate as they start talking about sabotaging tow trucks (thank you to the person who sent this to me).
25. Things are moving fast. Looks like Shane Marshall, Canada First member and accused of throwing pebbles at the PM, has been arrested.
43. Yes Chris Saccoccia (Chris Sky), you were the ONLY one to predict that the police may arrest people after almost three weeks and numerous advanced warnings. You are our era's frosted tips Nostradamus. 🙄🤦
44. I received a message from a friend in Ottawa who took the following photos and provided this commentary.
"Hey Kurt, so went for a walk, ghost town downtown, they locked it up big time, each road all the way to Kent there is a police car blocking, can’t pass if not resident."
45.
46. "Met a older man from Grand prairie Alberta, drove here 4 days ago leaving tomorrow."
47.
48. "We exchanged views, was quite a polite friendly conversation, he seemed to agree with me that the point has been made, but he tried to make me understand that these truckers are not leaving."
49.
50.
51. "So you have the truckers, saw a few of them, and then you have the idiots in the pick up trucks that are there just to party. Sadly the idiots in the cars and pick up outnumber the truckers."
52. Chris Saccoccia (Chris Sky) continues to urge people to go to Ottawa and face arrest from the comfort and safety of his own home.
53.
54. Tamara Lich has been arrested.
55.
56. Video of the arrest.
She is with other leaders who were not arrested.
57. Downloaded Pat King's latest stream.
I'll cut it up later but as of right now there are some owlbears that need to be dealt with as I nerd out for a couple of hours.
58. I'll post a few more before I head to bed.
Tyler Russell celebrates the release of Shane Marshall.
I'm not sure a catch and release is 5-D chess, but I guess some people have lower standards.
59. The Diagolon hate group continues to push the narrative that the weapons seizure and criminal charges that include plotting to kill police officers was a "false flag" orchestrated by the RCMP.
61. And the white nationalist podcast Red Ice which is supportive of the Diagolon crew having hosted Jeremy MacKenzie, Derek Harrison, and Alex Vriend get in on the blame game.
64. They can not however deny that Diagolon supporters were present at the Coutts blockade and appear to have been active participants. One of those individuals, Chris Lysak, is even seen in this video clip posted by Logan Murph to his Telegram on February 13.
65. Time stamp starting at 35 seconds.
66 And here I've isolated that part of the clip as well.
67. Relevant article that discusses Chris Lysak's radicalization online.
68. Finally, I finally cut up Pat King's latest stream where he smugly brags that he will not be arrested and that he has a "team of lawyers" who will ensure that he isn't arrested and then sue the media for a kagillion dollars for defamation (i.e. writing exactly what he says).
69. Now I'll post the highlights (not an apt choice of words, I know) but I did want to leave you with this.
You see he can't be racist because his lawyer is... and you already know the answer and are already cringing.
70. And with that, I'm signing off for the night.

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. 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
