1. This past week I posted a thread regarding Marcus Ray and his "peaceful, totally not an insurrection" that he has been promising for months. He suggested it would take place in the second week of September and in the "middle of the country".

2. Well, there is now a date and a location being shared.
3. On July 27, only a day after I posted the thread, Ray (aka Mark Chilcott) offered some more details.

In short, he says they will surround police stations and won't leave until they (and the military) arrest people based on sovcit woo.
4. The reaction to this TikTok video was a bit mixed as Ray's supporters continue to become increasingly agitated that the mass hangings of politicians and health professionals hasn't yet started.
5. Also, and because it makes me personally laugh, Kelly Anne Farkas (Wolfe) continues to be thirsty and desperate for anyone to let her play a role in whatever shit show they are planning.
6. But in fact we now have some very specific details from Ray.

Date is September 11.

City is Regina.

And the plan is to surround RCMP Academy: Depot Division.

Those not joining the "convoys" are to surround their local local police to make the same demands.
7. Along for the ride are at least two sovcit promoters. Christopher Ray whom I've written about at length is one. David Adams, whom I admit I've never heard of, is the other.

8. But there is a lot of excitement, including from this fella who is another conspiracy promoter and supporter of sovcit woo.
9. There is a lot to unpack in these videos (the swelling, heroic, music, is a bit over the top as well). I'm not going to go into all that is wrong since that could create a 100+ thread, but I will mention a few highlights.
10. Yeah, first no. No judge declared the protest legal. This claim seems to be in reference to posts such as this.
11. How they can jump from "judge grants injunction against the #OttawaOccupation" and "judge declares what we are doing is legal" is a remarkable jump.

globalnews.ca/news/8601005/o…
12. Also, and related.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
13. Second, here is the vaunted "World Health Council" he is talking about.

vice.com/en/article/n7n…
14. Third, the twice granting of bail to Tamara Lich isn't a vindication. It means she was granted bail, then granted bail after being accused of violating the terms. Her trial is yet to take place.
15. Finally I don't think that the Pawlowski bros winning their appeal was the game changer that David Cheyne thinks it is, but that might be a matter of opinion.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
16. Here is the rest of the video. Two things I would note:

a. Seems to promote violence.
b. Covid was statistically far more deadly than the flu.
c. For people who don't believe the courts are legit, they do like decisions they think favour them... even when they don't
17. So there you have it.

And if you want to know how ridiculous this plan is, Chris Saccoccia by comparison is a voice of reason.

That's right. Chris fucking Sky.
18. Yeah, don't worry.

Saccoccia undermines himself almost immediately resulting in an argument among his supporters that is both antisemitic and Islamophobic.
19.
20. That said, I would imagine the antisemites are also Islamophobes and the Islamophobes are antisemites so...
21. And of course, Saccoccia blames Isreal because of course he does.
22.
23. I mean, you're not surprised are you?

antihate.ca/antisemitic_is…
24. And he also can't miss an opportunity to berate his own followers who don't have a daddy who pays all their expenses.
25. So that's it.

That's the Marcus Ray plan.

I expect it to go rather poorly.

It is "Kurt" but I will say that this is probably the nicest names that one of the Diagolon crew has given me.
Also, this is adorable!
I tried to follow Alex, and, well...

Seems he isn't interested in banter.

1. It has been a while since I've written about Marcus Ray. Here are some of the previous threads I've done for some background if you aren't aware of him.

1. Over the past several weeks the January 6 committee has been exposing the length to which then President Donald Trump and his allies tried to maintain power which culminated in a violent insurrection, fomented my trump, and the Capitol. #Jan6Hearings

2. I think most of us were pretty attuned to what was goin on that January 6, 2021 and Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in order to stop the certification of the presidential election lost by Trump which was immediately claimed by him and his allies to be fraudulent.
3. But while most people were focused on what was happening in DC itself, I was looking at the reaction of Canadian Trump supporters and considering the implications for Canadian political discourse.

1. I've been trying to think of a witty way to start this, but to hell with it.

Let's talk about the Red Ensign and whether the far right have appropriated the symbol in a way the people should be offended by.

Spoiler, they have.

2. About a week or two, @antihateca published an incredible resource for schools on how to deal with extremism. As a teacher myself I know many don't have the knowledge base to effectively approach the issue when they come across it so this will be a very effective tool.
3. I would urge readers to take a good look at the resource as it can be used by anyone who struggled to deal with extremism when they encounter it..

1. While I'm not able to do a lengthy thread on the events of the day there are a lot who are. For example, @antihateca is covering the events very closely.

2. However I could do a few quick hits.

For example, Plaid Army/Diagolon member Derek Harrison drove to Ottawa yesterday. Followers will remember Harrison from this prior to the #OttawaOccupation where he hopes for Canada's own January 6 event.

3. In travelling to Ottawa yesterday, he referred to July 1 as Canada Day and January 2 as Corey Hurren day.

1. Since I see that V4F plans an event in Ottawa and is promising a summer of protests, I thought this might be the time to talk about their relationship, or lack thereof, with Marcus Ray (aka Mark Chilcott).

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
2. Before I get to that I will begin with what might seem to be an irrelevant video of Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) berating his volunteers back in 2021.

Spoiler. Saccoccia is a really, really, irredeemably, terrible person
3. I bring this video up to make a point that Saccoccia is a narcissistic asshole.

And narcissistic asshole seem to gravitate towards other narcissistic assholes as he was working with Marcus Ray since at least October 2021.
