🚨Embalmers across the world have reported a rise in irregular, hardened blood clots, which they say coincided with the rollout of the COV1D shots.
"They remind me of parasites," said one woman, who added she'd found them in 100% of the bodies she had recently embalmed.🧵
(For a bit of background, I started working on this story nearly a year ago. The publication I previously worked at refused to publish the article - not because it was inaccurate - but because they were afraid of being censored on social media.)
The embalmers from Ontario, the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Alabama, and the United Kingdom said that since early 2021, they've been witnessing white, hardened clots in the bodies they examine.
They claim these are distinct from normal blood clots, which are soft and pink.
Gm, it's day seven of the trial of Freedom Convoy leaders Chris Barber and Tamara Lich.
Ottawa Police Service Sergeant Joanne Pilotte is on the stand again. We are watching two 75 minute long videos this morning.
The first is a press conference with Convoy leaders from the middle of the protest.
Benjamin Dichter is asked by a reporter why politicians are sounding like "tin-pot dictators" when they talk about the Convoy.
Dichter says the truckers have been giving out free food, cleaning up the streets and helping the homeless, while politicians "go on their little Zoom calls and call everybody names."
The organizers are asked about how the government can be kept "accountable" post-COVID.
Dichter tells the story of a single mother who told him for the past two years, she had been depressed and suicidal.
"She saw this, and she said, 'you've given me hope in my life, and I came to Ottawa,' she brought her children, and [the child said], 'mommy, the truckers are going to free us and we're going to have our lives back.'"
Tom Quiggin, a former intelligence officer who helped to protect the Freedom Convoy, responds to the original question by saying he's not sure exactly what can be done to keep government accountable.
"What we're seeing here in Canada, I hope, is the start of a movement which is going to go national, where the politicians are going to have to start looking over their shoulders and say, 'Well, if we do this, what do you what are those guys going to do?'"

Gm, it's the sixth day of the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
Yesterday mostly revolved around whether nine witnesses from Ottawa would be called to testify about the impact the Freedom Convoy had on the city.
Let's see what the judge decided 🧵
We're starting off with deliberations over the admissibility of a 212-page exhibit showing the Facebook page of the Freedom Convoy.
Ottawa police Sergeant Joanne Pilotte is on the stand (again) going over posts from the Freedom Convoy's social media that she screen-capped as part of her investigation.
The process is being done to ensure the documents are established as authentic... But it doesn't make for very exciting live-tweets.

Gm, it's day five of the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
On Friday, the judge said she was "very unhappy" after the Crown revealed binders of new evidence three days after the trial had begun.
"This should have been done well before the trial," said Justice Heather Perkins-McVey.
Word on the street is that this afternoon, the lawyers for Lich and Barber will argue against allowing nine Ottawa residents and business-owners to testify. 🧵
Defence lawyer Lawrence Greenspon begins by filing the "witness impact statements" of the nine residents.
The Crown instead argues that an overview of the statements should be seen by the judge.
Judge says she does not want to read the statements, as she is concerned that she might mix up this statements with the eventual testimonies of those witnesses.

Gm, it's day three of the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
Ottawa Police Sergeant Joanne Pilotte is testifying today. She will give observations of her investigation into Barber and Lich, specifically their social media activity leading up to and during the Freedom Convoy.
We will also be apparently reviewing five hours of video footage being presented by the prosecution. 🧵
First off, we're reviewing the TikTok account of Chris Barber (BigRed19755), that Pilotte reviewed for her investigation.
In the first video, taken shortly before the police action commenced, Barber warns the protestors that thousands of police officers are on the way and the organizers' Internet might soon "go dark."
"So if this video gets to you, and we go dark all of a sudden, that means you need to use whatever means you can you come to a peaceful protest. You peacefully protest. You come here and you flood the city. I don't give a shit if the entire country of Canada comes to f*cking Ottawa."

It's day two of the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
We can expect two witnesses today. First up is Operations Support Inspector Russell Lucas with the Ottawa Police Service.
He was the incident Commander during the Freedom Convoy 🧵
Lucas moved into his role as incident commander the first week of Jan. 2022. In that role, he would typically be responsible for overseeing the OPS' staffing, logistics, traffic management for special events like festivals, sporting events and protests.
That month, he was planning "how we were going to respond to and manage the impacts of the impending convoy protest."
The police liaison team and public order unit of the OPS also fell under his command. The PLT's role role, affording to Lucas, was to be a "go-between between the police and the different types of protesters."
Overall, Lucas was trying to "find a balance between facilitating lawful protests," and the managing impacts on the community.

Former CBC Reporter Marianne Klowak is testifying at the National Citizen's Inquiry in Ottawa.
Klowak said during COVID-19, the rules seemed to "change overnight" at the CBC.
"As a public broadcaster, you'd expect us to be telling you the truth, and we stopped doing that."
Klowak, a reporter for over 34 years, said she was blocked from writing certain stories during the pandemic.
These included articles on protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, safety concerns about vaccines, and issues with Canadians' reporting of adverse vaccine reactions.

The following is an email I received from a Pediatric ICU nurse at a major hospital in the United States.
"There is no discussion about the trends we are seeing in admissions of numerous previously healthy pediatric populations (that spans newborn to 22-year-olds...)" 🧵
...that are admitted for strokes, masses, brain tumors, new onset uncontrolled seizures, various rapid deadly cancers, blood clots, organ dysfunction, and autoimmune disorders.
No one inquires about vaccination status of the patients, though it is clearly logged in the chart.

“My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and died. If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it will do to us in 20 years.”
