Several days ago CTH presented the following meme/metaphor, because history has a tendency to rhyme:
Those who recognize and appreciate history will note that whenever hardline leftism is confronted anywhere in history, there always comes an inflection point when the ruling state police have to make a decision.
When the Chinese communists decided it was time to rid themselves of the dissident protests in Tiananmen Square, the local military encircled the student and academic activists in an effort to protect them (pictured above). However, the ruling Chinese officials were not happy, and sent for the Mongolian army divisions, those without familial connections in the movement, to do the dirty work. The rest of history you likely know.
In Ottawa, Canada, again another exhibition of confronting hardline totalitarian leftists, the voices of those within the Freedom Convoy movement are similarly not going to be deterred. The protestors want the government COVID dictates removed, they want vaccine passport rules dropped, they want mandated vaccinations and forced medical procedures stopped, and they want their freedom back.
Into this equation and confrontation, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and local law enforcement are also unlikely to want to bring blood and violence upon the streets. However, the hardline leftists will not allow dissent to challenge their power. As history repeats, the local police are now opening the possibility of bringing in the military.
Yes, history is rhyming again.
(CANADA STATE MEDIA) – […] Ottawa’s police chief says policing alone might not solve the ongoing, volatile occupation of the city’s downtown core that has lasted for nearly a week, and military aid might be necessary.
“This is a national issue, not an Ottawa issue,” Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly said in a briefing to city councillors Wednesday afternoon.
“I am increasingly concerned there is no policing solution to this.”
Sloly said options being considered include requesting military aid, negotiation, political response, a court injunction or forced removal of protesters. But all approaches come with significant concerns, including rioting, injury and death, he said.
“I don’t have a singular mandate in this city, this province or this country, to negotiate the end to any demonstration. There always needs to be an element outside of the police for any truly successful end to any demonstration, particularly one of this size,” he said. (read more)
Whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau triggers the use of the Canadian military to attack peaceful protestors within the city of Ottawa under the auspices of his authority and the national state of emergency, is yet to be determined. However, it is important to not let this moment in the discussion go without emphasis.
This looming question of violence is always the outcome when leftism is confronted.
Hardline leftists must impose their policy by force. There is not a single example throughout history when following socialism, communism, fascism or leftism writ large to its natural conclusion, does not end up with this type of dynamic. This always happens.
The reason is simple. Leftism is based on the controlling constructs of manipulative people. The natural forces that guide humanity to seek a life of liberty and freedom are in direct conflict with those constructs. Leftism is about controlling human behavior, there will always be this conflict so long as people still yearn to be free and unregulated. The level of oppressive fear needed to create compliance is the only variable in the equation.
It’s hopefully unlikely that Justin Trudeau will order the military to open fire on truckdrivers and their supporters. However, it is not out of the realm of possibility, because this is the true nature of where communal demand takes us. The greater good of society always demands the removal of any voice who would stand in opposition to the oppressive regulations. In a directly connected example, this is why Big Tech must silence the voices of dissidents who challenge the regime.
Moments of great consequence come down to this confrontation. Generations of people who are born after the violence takes place do not have a reference point for this; that is why history is guaranteed to repeat.
It is only when the younger people see the extent of violence the ruling class will deliver in order to retain power that you see a youthful awakening. Thus, the quote from Thomas Jefferson, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,” takes on its intended focus.
Conflict, sometimes violent confrontation, is the natural outcome of allowing a slow erosion of liberty to take place. Accepting this truism is why the wise voices in our history have sounded trumpets whenever examples rise of that erosion. Taking your shoes off in the airport starts to look a whole lot differently when you realize that eventually that simple act, and the next series of simple acts, are simple steps toward the confrontation that will always, eventually, surface.
The issues in/around COVID-19, and the government responses around it, have replaced the process of slowly eroding liberty with an era of full throttled running directly toward tyranny.
What is happening in Ottawa right now will determine the direction of Canada for generations.
These are the stakes…
(UK Guardian) – […] Officials expect more protesters to arrive in the city over the weekend, and described the situation “volatile”.
Residents have become increasingly frustrated with the blaring truck horns and a number of local businesses have shuttered. The Rideau Centre, a popular mall downtown, announced it would remain closed until 6 February.
“Residents have been abandoned during a national crisis – an occupation of our city,” said city councillor Catherine McKenney, calling on police ask the RCMP for help.
Protesters released a statement on Wednesday, saying they sympathized with residents over the disruption to daily life, but added trucks would only leave once the federal government repealed its public health restrictions, many of which are under provincial and municipal jurisdiction. (read more)
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Do they have enough wreckers to move those rigs? I think not!
We are talking about 100s if rigs and thousands of people. This isn’t antifa/blm looting spree of punks and human debtis. This is a mass of regular working class people. They will create a beast if they go for these people.
And, unlike Antifa/BLM, they are NOT rioting or looting.
Claiming that they are “forcing businesses to shutter/close, given the horrific cost to businesses, from the lockdowns is ludicrous.
Don’t cities normally encourage ‘tourism’ BECAUSE having visitors from outside bring in $?
These claims of complaints by the ‘citisens of Ontario’ are just as baseless as the claims of rascism, again especiallu in light of the BLM/Antifa.
In the UK, they abandoned stupidity before it got to this.
Remember that the WEF is in charge. If it comes to bloodshed and revolution, it is because the WEF wanted it that way.
True, but their arrogance is their Achilles heel. They sincerely believe we won’t take it to the next level if pushed.
Question is does the Canadian military have enough wreckers to move all of those rigs in short order?
Did not see your post until after I posted above.
Not sure about numbers but they WILL make example after example after example of what they are capable of in the rough-handling of the trucks that they do get their dirty Commie hands on.
No telling where this will go.
Yes but the rumor is many are claiming Covid infections and are self-quarantining.
The Woke U.S. military will help them.
Where do you suppose all of their wreckers are?
I have a hunch a disproportionate number of them are assigned to the National Guard of several States.
Those are going to take take time to move after the funding and orders are hashed out.
I’d say at least a week before anything is moved.
It appears the U.S military already has a date, in Eastern Europe.
Couldn’t the protesters just lock themselves in their trucks?
Would the military shoot at them from outside the trucks?
Wouldn’t you suppose they each carry at least one gun in their trucks? I am hoping so.
Canadian military law forbids Canadian soldiers from carrying weapons inside Ottawa.
The trucks would be easier to move, by the truckers, (not by wrecker$ etc.) by
imho
Love thy neighbors
I would say that it is a safe bet to assume that the Canadian military has the necessary heavy equipment in its inventory to move tractor-trailers out of the way.
If their gear is designed to haul combat tanks around a little tractor-trailer will not present much of a challenge (as far as clearing a path in concerned).
That would be a sight to see….a public relations nightmare of epic proportions! I think they should go for it and let the chips fall where they may. 😂😂
Please do. It means Trudeau will be that much closer to being removed.
Call a vwhaaaaaaambulance!
Crying out of one eye is the tell that these are FAKE tears! BHO did the same thing and the tear was coming out of only ONE eye. FAKERS!!! Disgusting megalomaniacs!
Control is the opium of tyrants
Cowards those who obey such orders
Right on Sundance – two weeks to flatten the curve – and now look where we are.
Exactly. We NEVER should have complied. So important to understand the downstream consequences. BTW I NEVER complied. My freedom is too precious to me.
Some of us didn’t and still have not.
“A number of businesses have shuttered”.
Cowards. They should have joined the truckers and demanded freedom. They would have no doubt been extremely busy, and supported the patriots fighting against the tyranny steering all their business decisions.
But they are literally shaking! How can you keep a business open when you’re literally shaking because racist homophobic white nationalists with trucker hats and Canadian flags are gallivanting about?
Why? All the extra foot traffic is probably good for business.
Could be if they let it be.
Because they only watch CBC and the truck horns trigger them.
Great if you’re in a business that the foot traffic requires. Otherwise you would be better off just closing the doors and joining the protestors.
Exactly!!
Probably because Ottawa is a Liberal haven? And they are stupid?
Why yes, yes they are. One has to be stupid to embrace liberal ideology.
i doubt they are able to restock.
Maybe they shuttered their businesses and joined the protest.
BS No one is complaining
Didn’t the government make them shut down before because of Covid? Now it’s bad?
Remember, this claim is from the Government and therefore, likely a lie.
“A number”
What’s that mean? All of them or 3 out of hundreds? Weasel words!
.
What businesses have “shuttered” — dress shops? And why.
How do we know that is even true? That’s a very general statement: “A number of businesses have shuttered.” Well, if they are selling furniture, that might be true. If they are selling groceries, it might be because the truckers are not bringing in more groceries. That’s when you join the other side and say, “thank you, truckers. We are with you. I am shutting down my store and am ready to march or to get you whatever you need, if I can.”
The rot begins at the head. Looks like Ottawa has the same deep swamp as we have in DC.
Trudeau would literally have to bring in troops from Mongolia, a nation captured by China. Canadians live and work with each other and these truckers along with the protesters are from every region in Canada.
They will get their indigenous people to go get some scalps. That would be their equivalent of BLM.
The indigenous people are coming out in support of the protesters.
Today on YouTube I saw the truckers doing some sort of ceremonial ritual w/their Native Canadians. One lady gave the trucker a scarf type wrap from 150 years ago that was her great, great, grandfathers? I don’t remember, it was a long video and I didn’t watch all of it, anyway, the Indians are there w/the Truckers. My guess that not only do they support the truckers, but they are also riding the wave to get revenge from the last time they had a protest w/the gummint. Canadian Soldiers were sent to make them stand down.
It’s not Trudeau, The Queen controls the military in all English Monarch Territories.
Liar.
QEii is a symbolic head, has no ability to order the military to do anything…a fact beyond many Americans.
Bring on the 2nd Civil War.
We are already in the the 2nd Civil War, it is just waiting on it going hot. I firmly believe Civil War is what Obama’s real goal was. He just was too timid to be fully open about it, but now he has his puppet government powers through Dementia Joe, and the former Narcissist in Chief won’t bear the historical blame.
You can bet your ass he wanted Civil War which is why he was Loading up on all the Ammo on the Tax payers dime.
Absolutely he literally weaponized every federal agency, including the Bureau of Land Management. Remember Cliven Bundy?
Of course the easiest solution is for the government of Canada to take the “L” and give in. Those Dominoes have already fallen around half the world already. The Virus is endemic and there is no “vaccine” that can stop it. Its just pure vanity to think you can “control” it at this stage… Praise God for these truckers and protesters… Hold the line!
/Salute
Remember this was never about controlling “A Virus”. It was and is about controlling people.
I think some of the People in the Canadian government and many of the Reps here in the USA “did” believe it was about controlling the virus. The Truckers and their supporters are here to let those fence sitters know that this is no longer the case. Maybe I’m a lil naive… but I think I see a light at the end of this tunnel.
/Salute
Yes, there is light. Seven European countries have ended/will soon end all mandates. England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland.
Keep them in your prayers.
Just as the mandates were NEVER about Public Health, revoking them isn’t, either.
They were and are about CONTROL, with the goal being the social credit score passports; covid is just the excuse.
Hence, the solution you suggest is simply not possible for the Government, at least not until/unless they accept the reality that their bid to establish tyranny is lost.
To “give in” to the Truckers demands is to surrender, and would mean not only the end if the individuals like trudope, but an end to the Globalist campaign being waged worldwide.
They have only SAID they were CONSIDERING calling in the military, not that they have or will.
Really, all this LE official is doing, is admitting the obvious; that there is no practical way for LE to resolve this.
This has been obvious for some time; LE can not even enforce a blockade if a blockade in Alberta, a mere 100 trucks in the middle of nowhere.
Its been obvious there is no way LE can use any tactics to resolve the Ottowa stand off.
Its entirely possible the military doesn’t want the job, either.
The military is really good at breaking things and killing people, especially on a large scale.
“Well, yes sir we COULD “clear” Ottawa of the protesters, and the trucks.
It would take 6-8 weeks, cost 50-100 million $, and our estimate of casualties is at least 10,000-50,000 on each “side”,…Sir!”
“Thats OUTRAGEOUS!”
“Its urban warfare, sir. Toughest terrain to fight in.
Look at these pictures of Syria, sir. This is what having a military engage in urban warfare against the citisenry LOOKS like.”
Intimidation, or THREATS is how bullies and tyrants operate. Neither do well with actual fighting.
Good point about the military force necessary from the government to end this Dutchman.
The Truckers were brilliant in using their huge semi tractors and trailers to build a fortress for themselves right in the middle of the enemies position.
They are like a huge immoveable fort now right where Trudeau does not want them and where his enemy have settled in nicely.
The Trudeau administration is having fits trying to scare them out and smear their reputations with calling them names like racist and homophobes but these guys and gals are not going to budge.
They are well and truly PARKED right where they want to be and right where Trudeau does not want them to be.
Ottawa resident: “I’m all for freedom as long as it doesn’t inconvenience me. ” I wonder how many complaints, if any, have actually been voiced.
Exactly
The media has found some.
Well. We are giving the old girl a good once over for a trip to Ottawa to join the foray.
By Friday we will have her stocked with food and supplies for the truckers.
A wheel bearing and oil change. Check her over and off for a long drive.
Stay strong patriots. Stay strong. God is our fearless leader. If you don’t know Jesus, find Him. He is our all and all.
DD
Godpeed DD….your branch proudly awaits your return.
Amen, Ad rem. Bursting with pride🌟.
Be safe. Treepers support and pray for you.
Safe travels DD and Godspeed.
Support from all over the U.S. God speed and be safe!
God Bless you, DD! Safe travels and give the truckers our love and prayers!
Amen.
Amen.
Cool Beans! Safe travels and God Speed. Thank you!
Bravo DD ! Make sure the horn is working. 🙂 Have a safe trip.
And take whatever noisemakers you can think of. Be creative.
God Bless, DD!
Don’t forget to stop for a timmies and poutine….for me if you would please. I haven’t seen my grandson since he was born (Monfort Hospital) 2 years ago. Godspeed Dan
👍👍
🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
Wheel bearing change? That thing looks brand new! If your battle plans are as immaculate as your vehicle’s maintenance, you sir will be just fine.
Cheers D.D.
Safe travels, we would love to go, but Vancouver to Ottawa in the winter is a dodgy trip.
We can’t fly or take the train, Trudeau has decreed we the un vaxxed are less than.
Omgosh DD,you rock! G-d bless and go get ’em!
God bless you, Dan!! The Lord’s hands are on your shoulders, and we thank you all for all you are doing for Canada and the world! Your stories will be told for years to come and bring pride and smiles and tears to every face. Amen!
What do you bet Turdeau brings NATO in.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
UN Blue Helmets
That would not just be stupid, that would end very badly for them. They and their families would be hunted down like dogs for years to come. Deplorables will throw down over their families and friends.
The government better remove the mandates and back down immediately.
Ayep.
I so want to believe that.
They CAN’T.
Classic immovable object meeting irresistible force;
Something ALWAYS breaks.
Yup.
Question is, how much breakage before one side backs down.
Wolverines.
Thousands of them.
Never stopping.
Never relenting.
Sand in the machinery.
I can’t see how any leader of a “free” nation could justify such a horrendous act. It would be political suicide.
It will be so disappointing, these are the people who stood by their military during wars when the left was against them. These are the people who donate to military related charities, the people who volunteer to help veterans, many are veterans themselves or family.
That would be such a horrible back stabbing to have the military going after their own people.
and yet, historically, thats what happens when the orders come down.
Which is why a lot of the Framers argued vehemently against having a standing military.
There are many families in Ottawa supporting the truckers. This is truly a powder keg, and the optics of families with children being on the receiving end of a military offensive for supporting a peaceful demonstration is very ugly.
Pray that doesn’t happen.
On the other hand, suppose the military leadership makes it clear they don’t want the job,…or the rank and file make it clear they won’t engage against Canadian citisens, peacefully protesting?
Now THAT would be a game-changer. So many unknowns. So many prayers.
June 1932 McArthur leading 500 Calvary tanks and supported by DC police attacked the WW1 vets camped out protesting federal government for a bonus promised. 2 veterans were shot and killed , the vets were scattered. The army will fire on citizens. Don’t think otherwise.
Negotiations and compromise were off the table as soon as the Canadian secret police brought out the Nazi flag to smear the protesters with a false flag operation. One does not negotiate with Nazis. The government must either crush the protesters or be crushed themselves.
It’s amazing how that Nazi flag came out and immediately afterwards F*CK Trudeau was calling everyone Racist. They must have a stash of the flags hidden in the Govt’ Warehouse.
It’s hilarious because this movement is not about Race, it’s about Freedom. My Friend is Black and moved to Canada 3 years ago to be with his wife. Their kids are mixed…. and have been holding signs at the protests in support of the Truckers and THE CANADIAN peoples FREEDOM. F*CK TRUDEAU and his Crooked comrades.
I read elsewhere that like the Swastika flags carried at Charlotte, these flags still had the packaging creases in them.
Compare photos of the flags carried by the real American Nazi party at Skokie in the 1960s.
Real Nazis venerate that hideous relic, and would not display one like those.
And yes, totalitarians must eventually resort to violent suppression of any and all opposition.
They know that if they don’t prove that they are in control, that the masses of people they terrorize will sweep them away.
John in Indy
” that hideous relic”
would’v thought that the commie flag was exponentially more hideous…
just on ‘body counts’ alone….
these control freak statist clowns are the actual ‘heirs’ to the likes of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge;
get all y’all ‘comparisons’ straight, hunh?
Trudeau has those Nazi boys on speed dial. Wants to borrow a uniform and whip.
Examples must be made of the secret police, their surrogates, proxies or allies.
Negotiations were over the minute Trudy fled.
RTS take a good look at the Confederate Flag. It is still wrinkled and looks like it was just purchased and opened. Never flown before………hmmmm
Also why was Trudeau’s photographer right behind said scary flag with his DSLR camera taking photos. Flag guy wearing full balaclava and hood.
.
The first military gun to fire will be the shot heard ’round the world v2.0, and will signify the beginning of the end of Trudeau’s political life.
“Four dead in Ohio”, kent state.
13 dead led to the end of the USSR, in the baltic states.
The lesson for tyrants; DO NOT create martyers, they can end you.
So true.
Nah, kids and Rock and Roll and Jeans ended Russia. They wouldn’t wear it anymore
While standing in front of several trucks too.
According to Turdo, the fringe minority are Racist Russians not Canadian Citizens.
“Never appropriate”?
Hmmm…..just last year, he said this.
This didn’t age well, did it?
Another example of Leftist reciting “Rules for Thee but not for Me.”
Typical fork tongue talk from Marxists
It is different than the Tiananmen Square issue. In Canada it is Truckers and “things” in trucks people need. It is not a bunch of students standing in front of tanks. Totally different dynamics by comparison.
The truckers are not just “Canadians” anymore. They have started a worldwide pushback.
As for the different dynamics, you’re right.
The Canadian truckers are the tanks, this time around.
WW pushback. That’s why Schwab and Trudeau need to stop this yesterday. The pressure is on them.
if they get blamed for the food shortage, it will be hard to unite the people. cause a portion will be angry because they are ignorant.
There are already sky high prices and shortages in Canada. Its all the Wuhan virus crap that has caused it.
No , it’s the Governments REACTION to the virus that has caused the ” crap “.
It’s a feature/planned , NOT a bug or accident.
Simple solution….stop the mandates and dinner will be served. The mandates are not a Truck decision.
Way to miss the point…
Did you hear it flying over your head?
Those students were courageous.
The Canadian truckers are as well. The difference is, they have the support of the people…food and fuel.
Stay strong, stay safe truckers.
I am thinking that is the history rhymes part ……
Its True…see
CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP
Oh my!!!! That is perfect !!!
the definition of a punchable face
There is a massive number of trucks not carrying anything all deadheading to Ottawa which sooner than later will have a massive impact on the “things people need” supplied by trucks! Tanks don’t provide anything but firepower!
If there were a million people in Tienamen, and China is a country of BILLIONS, it really WAS a small fringe.
If, when the tanks rolled towards the square, a billion citisens had left their homes, and joined the protest, the CCP would have folded.
If, God forbid the Govt of Canada actually commits violence against the protest, the ONLY acceptable responce, is for EVERY Canadian, man woman and child to take to the streets in peaceful solidarity.
“Your gonna have to kill us all” is the only way. UNITY.
Otherwise, the bullies win, with an intimidates populace.
Take to the streets with whatever sharp , pointy implements they have.
Not only what is happening in Ottawa right now will determine the direction of Canada for generations – what those results turn out to be will most likely foretell the direction of the United States for generations to come as well.
A few months back a comment said Australia is the guinea pig round, what is learned from there is put into play in Canada and then, tweaked again, will then unfold in the States.
C’mon Truckers, stand firm!
Now you see why they had to remove Trump, The Queen and her underlings, these leftist nut Political Hacks, Trudeau, etc. & the Democrat crime family in the USA did that.
The Queen sees Free People as a Threat to her Monarchy. Just as they did during the The Revolutionary War.
They had to remove Trump because their weapon to initiate the Great Reset had already been fired (SARS-Cov-2). If he hadn’t accepted the voting results, I have no doubt he would have been shot.
We are in the middle of a war. A real one. The globalists fully intend to take direct, tyrannical control of the entire planet (they probably think China is on their side). We are fighting for our lives. You don’t think the expectation is that any of us will be in the ranks of the remaining 500 million, do you?
Oh my….
“The Queen sees Free People as a Threat to her Monarchy.”
How could that be, she is the titular Head of State of scores of democratic Commonwealth countries.
Americans can’t get their heads around the delicious fact that QEII has ultimate signature power and no power at all, at the same time. You’ll go mad thinking about it.
She is the Commander of the Military, her family (the men in the Royal family) whom are also generals in that same military, yet they roam around like Rich Privileged people all over the world are also in power …. what nonsense are you Spewing?
Just by the fact that you call out us American’s tells me you are not a Freedom Loving Conservative… which is what this site is about. Go post on some Leftist Rag like daily beast, or Politico.
QEII has no power to order the British or Canadian military to do anything , you simpleton. She is the SYMBOLIC head of the armed forces. Other Royals take on SYMBOLIC ‘Colonel in Chief’ rolls for various units. They never issued an order in their lives.
“yet they roam around like Rich Privileged people”….err that’s because they are rich privileged people, doofus.
The British monarch has more power than people realize. Yes, the monarch powers were cut, little by little, but some powers still exist.
QEII never uses these powers. She could have demanded the resignation of Boris Johnson. She could have said something about the mandates in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc now that Johnson scrapped the mandates in England. She chooses to stay quiet. The royals are Davos, Bilderberg, CFR, WEF, etc
More misunderstanding.
“She could have demanded the resignation of Boris Johnson.” No she couldn’t, she only acts on the advice of the govt.
“She could have said something about the mandates”. No she could not, whether she disagrees or agrees is immaterial. QEII must remain above politics for the monarchy to survive.
You just don’t get it. You’ll be also shocked to learn that there are Parliamentary conventions that have no legal backing but are compulsory. Americans can’t understand that.
Well, the queen is 95 years old and isn’t directing anything. Her courtiers on the other hand…..
Really?
Please expand. Here we have courtier A now tell me how he runs the House of Commons and the British military and according to Sam is involved in impeaching Trump.
I blame the low quality of the US education system.
Waiting, waiting.
Unless you be just another American bulls*it artist.
Chinese armies trained by canada. Don’t be surprise Trudeu calls Xi.
They will begin to charge them financially. Ratcheting it up as it goes on. It will take very strong men to resist.
It’s a good thing it is not here in the US because we would have cave a week ago.
I agree with your comment, but courage can be infectious. Let us hope bravery is more infectious than Omicron in the lower 48.
cave shmave – we never started.
Why don’t you lead the charge?
I’m your huckleberry
Just incase you were wondering who is really in charge….
Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces Incumbent Elizabeth II Queen of Canada since 6 February 1952 Represented by Mary Simon Governor General of Canada since 26 July 2021
Same goes for the other Territories…. like Australia, etc…. and to think these royals roam around the USA freely like they own the place. When Democrats are in power they do own the place.
The Royals are trying to get the peasants back in order.
Just like they stole the USA elections with their Democrat Comrads.
I noticed royals and their underlings deeply tied to Democrats, most notably Hillary Clinton and Obama.
Don’t believe the fake rift between them and the King Obama…. it’s a lie.
You forgot your meds again.
Yes, people grossly underestimate the power of the Queen, who is probably as leftist as her wacky son, Charles.
The “line in the news media” is that the British royalty is merely ceremonial, and has only the power of influence and respect.
But the Queen is one of the RICHEST people in the world. That’s a LOT of influence, and she uses it.
She’s just another globalist billionaire who uses her money to own governments — all the while being protected by the news media that says she’s just a harmless nice old lady who has no power.
Queens Privy Counsel methinks.
The queen is a rubber stamp. If Trudeau says he needs them, she’ll say ok.
The Queen does not have to approve the use of the military anywhere, it has nothing to do with her.
Canada had been granted it’s independence after the Statute Of Westminster (1931), and for the first time, declared war on Germany by themselves. Canada’s parliament voted to declare war on Germany in 1939, 8 days after Germany invaded Poland, and 10 days after Britain had declared war.
Sunset LIVESTREAM from Ottawa Lockdown Day 5
There have been some great live streams. I am addicted to watching them like I was addicted to watching the Rittenhouse trial. It fascinates me the money these people are getting for just walking around filming. MSM is in trouble, competition is getting fierce.
Per GP, towers in Canada are not complying, some saying they have Covid:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/full-support-truckers-towing-companies-canada-turn-requests-police-haul-away-trucks/
If the Canadian Military is called to remove the Protestors… at the minimum the Protests WILL SPREAD!
And if Blood is drawn… all bets are off.
All Mini Fidel HAD TO DO WAS JUST MEET THE TRUCKERS! The worst he’d face was heckling, which would have been whitewashed by the Media!
Richard Nixon during the VIETNAM WAR met with Anti War Protestors! The Media REVILED HIM, YET HE MET WITH PROTESTORS!
I tell you what…If you think this is beyond the realm of possibilities with the US military today and their compliance…think again. I say this as a vet…12 years ago rank and file would have refused.
sorry but they would not have refused then, either.
They’re all jabbed now and true believers. There are reports of nanotech circuitry in the Pfizer serum now, and if mind control is part of the equation (now or eventually), it would be for times like these.
Hello!
Polish business women feed the truckers because they know what communism brings.
BREAKING: Polish immigrants just arrived in Ottawa with thousands of Polish sausages and bread for the truckers
“We came from communism. We want a free country.”
https://gettr.com/post/ps2f9zfb8f
The truckers know….
You cannot negotiate with Communists.
You cannot reach across the aisle to Communists.
You cannot co-exist with Communists.
Fidelista and his comrades want total submission & subjugation.
Truckers say……Welcome to the Rebellion!
Let Freedom Ring!
And, from the beginning I have not really heard anything from the Truckers in Ottawa, that THEY wanted to meet with JT, and certainly nothing to negotiate.
“Negotiate your surrender, picklehead! We aren’t here to negotiate. Rescind ALL Covid mandates. THATS how you get us to leave.!”
One trucker not at Ottawa said ” they don’t move well when they are a pile of ashes”, don’t push these guys too hard the result could be BAD!!
Like ole Max has been saying, we aren’t voting–or protesting–ourselves out of this.
The Canadian subsidiary of Globalist, Inc. will not tolerate resistance or disobedience. Goes double for the US subsidiary.
correct. we can delay and pray all we want.
it always ends the same.
“…will determine the direction of Canada…”
And more than likely elsewhere. Pick a country, any country which has exploded into totalitarianism. Australia? Austria which has returned to its roots?
And what of the Commonwealth of which Canada is a member with the Queen at its head? Will Britain remain silent as it has done throughout this Kafkaesque grotesqueness?
I think we are on the edge here. The police and the military there best think long and hard before they consign their country to the history books with China, Nazi Germany, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba, and more… on the same disgusting page.
Just think about it, Canada could have joined the USA and Kicked the Queen to the curb, which is why they had to remove Trump with the Crooked Democrats…. who are in bed with the Royals. The Clintons transferred most of our industry and patented inventions to China…. at the behest of the Queen. That gave them access to our capabilities. You don’t think it is a coincidence that the Rothschild’s are so close to Clinton’s? Or the fact that Bill is a Rhodes Scholar? Or how HRC had a team of British connected people working for her, as spies and in the State Department?
Then you see the Democrats trying to Raise taxes on us, all over the place…. removing our energy independence, making food expensive, hurting our supply chains and attempting to divide the American people. They are trying to bring us back under the Queens control. Why do you think HRC’s friend in Canada was housing the Royal Couple? Now they are trying to bring her back for 2024.
Good luck with your cognition deficit, Sam.
The Queen takes no part in any political way in Britain, Sam. She has no more power to do what you suggest than I do, and I have none.
The British government and its reprehensible agencies are in charge (think about our Fourth Branch), and she is simply a figurehead. This means whatever party is in power, for better or, as now worse, runs that country. At the moment it is the clownish Johnson who apparently is under the thumb of his Soros acolyte wife.
Please don’t make the mistake which so many Americans do. The Queen has absolutely nothing to do with any of this.
The Queen is a globalist billionaire who would make a gross amount of money from the implementation of global warning policies.
She is probably as leftist as her wacky son, Charles — but actually, Charles isn’t wacky at all. He knows how much money he’d make from global warming.
The royal family is shielded by a very successful propaganda campaign that tells us they are “merely figureheads, and have no power.”
Well, give me a few billion dollars, massive investments in global corporations, ownership of the rents of massive land masses — and well, I’m not the same as the average joe anymore.
It is hard for me to believe that the queen has no control over many of her pet politicians, all of whom want to have her favor (and financial support) after they leave office.
Nice little old lady with no power?
Pretty much, since the days of Oliver Cromwell.
The Monarchy are just a figurehead much like Brandon.
Getting pretty damn tired of hearing about the 80 year old biddy, with no discernible power.
Feel like I’m being gaslighted, or else you have a real hard on for elizibeth,…so give it a rest, already!
Thank you.
I must say, I was heartbroken over what I perceived to be Canada’s seeming acquiescence to leftism. To me the jury was still out on the USA – that Trump had appointed enough appellate judges to keep a toe-hold on liberty until some event triggered the backlash. So happy to see this display of courage up North. I don’t pray for much but I am praying for the Canada Patriots.
Do our elites have any sense at all. We are getting to the point that 75% of the people (R,D,I) don’t trust what our institutions say. They’ve lost almost all credibility. So what happens when those who lost their parents or grand parents to hospital negligence, of a child, or other loved one, to the side-effects of the Jab? Let alone themselves when they get sick with unusual ailments over the next 5 years or so. There already those that easily blame others for their bad decisions in life, even though their lack of research was likely in many. This will not end well – French revolution style?
U.S. … early Depression … Washington, D.C. … former military encamped wanting pay … peaceful … Gen Douglas MacArthur had them removed … so, yes, don’t be surprised to see the military used to clear out protesters … it happened before in the U.S. and can happen again and even in Canada … the question is, will the rest of the public rise up in support.
Never forget he “admires China’s basic dictatorship”:
I had read earlier comments elsewhere of reports the Canadian military had already told Trudeau to bugger off – wasn’t their fight. Have not been able to find any link supporting this.
Now Sundance comes with this.
And Big Gov on both sides of the US-Canada border is indeed stupid enough to invoke this…
‘Back the Blue’ ain’t seeming so good….Sad….
it never was. we just needed our eyes opened.
Actually, WHAT does this story say?
That law enforcement is saying they do not have the capability to clear away the convoy.
This COULD be a diplomatic, job saving way of saying “we WON’T” without saying it.
“we can’t” supercedes “we won’t” much like the towing companies being “unavailable” to help LE with the Alberta blockade.
Suggesting only a military option is also part of such an avoidance strategy.
“Sorry, WE can’t do it. Why don’t you ask THEM?”
PM Blackface desperately wants an excuse to enact the War Measures Act like his pretend Pappy did in 1970 but it was substantially watered down I think in the 80’s as obscene government overeach. In October 1970 the whole country was under lockdown because the FLQ kidnapped James Cross and Pierre Laporte. Laporte was assassinated but James Cross died in 2021 at 100.
God bless these people. I am slightly embarrassed that this is not an American protest. But, come what may….ready for whatever.
The minute I heard the possibility of the military being used against the truckers my brain went to Tiananmen Square.
I wish I was an artist and could do a cartoon with a recreation of that Chinese man standing up to the tanks.
But have it be the Canadian military vs the truckers.
The problem with their logic is, so they remove the truckers, or jail them…. They will still have a Trucker Problem, LMAO.
I don’t think it will go the way of Tianamen Square. I could see them using tactics similar to what the CCP, and recently Australia, used to break up protests. I think the concern is that this might create a Kent State moment. Throughout history, a few shots where no one knew who gave the order, followed by a full volley, have led to momentous governmental changes.
A pivotal moment indeed. What will he do? The Ottawa police chief can do nothing. As he stated, this is a national issue that only be decided by a political solution of compromise and repeal of the most draconian restrictions or enforcement of the current ones at the point of a gun. I pray the truckers remain firm. There are apparently similar trucker movements in Australia and here at home as well. Godspeed. If this goes on any further people are going to start to be more harmed than they have been the last two years and maybe this is what it will take for many especially the idiots supporting these tyrants. If they somehow break up the protest and keep the rules intact, things are going to go downhill for Canada quickly.
Trudeau and his ilk use leftism for its ready made army of useful idiots. He’s just a “duplicitous Ken Doll” taking his orders from the globalists and Davos crowd. WEF goon Klaus bragged they had their people in boardrooms and parliaments “like Trudeau”.
The people ordering around Biden and Trudeau and Boris aren’t leftists. They’re pure power sociopaths using Wokism because it’s working so well for them. They used Evangelicals in the 80s and 90s when the right was culturally ascendant. The root problem are the globalists. Leftists are just tools.
hope that the truckers keep fighting those socialism communism Government,
stand with truckers 100%,
Justin’s tweets have been outrageous and packed full of untruths about the truckers stealing food from the homeless among other things. If violence breaks out, he will definitely accuse the truckers of starting it and the feds had to shoot to defend themselves.
Gee. I think the Guardian just might be a far left newspaper I think
Thanks to our very wise Founding Fathers, color me 9 different shades of being unsurprised. They knew this would happen, sooner or later, and a lot closer to home than Europe, including here at home.
There are instruments so dangerous to the rights of the nation, and which place them so totally at the mercy of their governors, that those governors, whether legislative or executive, should be restrained from keeping such instruments on foot, but in well-defined cases. Such an instrument is a standing army.
– Thomas Jefferson
When a government wishes to deprive its citizens of freedom, and reduce them to slavery, it generally makes use of a standing army.
– Luther Martin, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe. A standing military force, with an overgrown executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.
– James Madison (“The Father of the United States Constitution”)
What, sir, is the use of a militia (2nd Amendment) ? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia (2nd Amendment) , in order to raise an army upon their ruins.
– Elbridge Gerry, Jame Madison’s Vice President
