Well, there goes the entire business model of the GoFundMe organization.
In a rather jaw-dropping development, the crowdfunding organization is taking the position that Canadian officials have labeled the Canadian Freedom Convoy protest as an “illegal occupation” of the city of Ottawa. As a result, GoFundMe will not release the funds to the organizers of the protest, and will, instead, only transfer those funds to an authorized and credible charitable organization like “Black Lives Matter”.
The statement in Full:
♦ GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created.
♦ We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.
To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.
Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest.
Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities verified by GoFundMe.
All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form. (LINK)
The Canadian government and law enforcement officials worked earnestly to Alinsky and label the voices of Middle Canada as violent extremists. It appears that official effort has paid dividends, as the money for the protest group has been cut off as the result of an arbitrary definition applied by the totalitarian state.
Madness.
Sickening…
There aren’t enough words to encapsulate this dynamic appropriately.
However, now that government has successfully branded the protesting group as an unlawful and violent occupying group, the Canadian authorities are now able to use extreme measures to counter the “threat to democracy” they represent.
This is a major, albeit ideological, escalation by the totalitarian state.
For comparison, they supported Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (AKA CHOP) fundraisers on their own twitter:
They must be decapitated
They’ve got plenty of worse. My sister is probably cheering these Bastards on. You see the problem.. that’s why it’s God – Country – Family. Imagine Volunteering to be an enemy of Liberty as a PR rule. Our Chinese Assistant Franchise Supervisor Sparkle Sox is thinking we’ll blink.
Refunds are issued until February 19th.
GET YOUR REFUND!!!!
Contest your credit card charge. Get an immediate credit to your account with a charge back for not providing the requested service. Contested charges cost the company that failed to provide service. Your cc contested charge will also get any % that you may have given to GFM back.
If the credit card companies have not found a way to subvert things, that would be the absolutely best way to go!
The credit card companies will already be subverting to give funds to Black Lives Matters. And you can take that to the bank.
BINGO!
ALERT: A large convoy of tractors and farm equipment has arrived in the Toronto metro to protest the COVID mandates.
PILE THEM IN
SHUT IT DOWN
yea – make the _____ walk to you to harm you. then walk out with you.
Investment suggestion: buy more ammo.
You don’t have enough.
THIS x10
Lol, lots of topping off supplies this wk.
YES!!! This will not stop until certain parties experience the wrath of armed Patriots. I’ve long said that we have unintentionally made a mockery of July 4th, thinking it’s just another holiday. Too often it’s only an occasion to grill out, drink and ignite fireworks(and there is nothing inherently wrong with any of those activities). We seem to forget that men stood against an oppressive government by taking up arms and risking their lives, many dying. Now if anyone acknowledges that armed conflict is a a real alternative and perhaps the ultimate one, some aide our enemies by calling us a fringe. There WILL come a time to take up arms to eliminate the tyranny for those who value living free.
At that point, the fireworks will be real.
I can’t do this anymore. It’s is becoming obvious to me that there is no way this can be solved without real sacrifice. They will not let us peacefully gather to protest their power grabs. This only ends 1 of 2 ways. Use your heads you’re smart people you have to see the writing on the wall.
Are you there? That’s the impression from your first sentence.
Jeanette, of course TPTB aren’t going to let people peacefully gather to protest since it’s against all THEY believe in. They are nothing more than sneaky and dishonest, control freaks and bullies. All they care about is themselves and what they want. I salute and pray for all those courageous truckers to have done this. They are standing up for all of us.
It’s ironic how the left was all about free thought and “question authority” until they were the ones who were in power.
I do not like losers, they begin with bravado and when push comes to shove, they cry like babies calling out for help. This ends in only one way, we win, but obviously not with weaklings like yourself.
Run home, hide under your bed and pretend your safe.
I believe what Jeanette meant by “can’t do this anymore” means she can’t just sit at a keyboard hoping peaceful protest will solve the problem.
What do you mean you can’t do this? Are you in Ottawa right now?
Can people dispute the donation on their charge cards?
Supposedly can get refund before Feb 19th
Yes and it will cost GFM the contested charge fee and also get any gratis fee you gave GFM. Contest the charge as not providing the service requested on the day you made the donation.
I once got a full refund from my bank charge card based on a product I bought not being delivered to me. There is a mechanism to dispute a transaction.
Yes, you can, call your charge card company and declare that your donation was intended for (example King Henry)
and that donation was suppose to be delivered by a paid messenger, but it was not delivered and they stated that they will
keep the money, I have demanded my donation be returned and they ignore my demands, thus I need you to get my
donation back.. They are obliged to act on your behalf…
GoFundMe me was created by communist to pay off their agencies and agents and this is beyond proof
Tucker said an hour ago–is this even legal?
I hope that Go F-me just offed itself big time.
So GFM gets to steal the money and give it to their friends? That used to be illegal.
This is in Virginia. This crap of a double standard defying the people and what they want has got to stop. The truckers are extremist, but BLM is ok. The Governor says leave it up to the parents, and judge defies him. I am tired of it. Truly, the hill is now.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-rules-against-va-governors-221855891.html
trucks or not, VA residents should be marching on that courthouse in the AM.
and they should not leave until its fixed.

Ignore the Judge and his “ruling”.
January 2022 Labor Force Update for Canada:
Saskatchewan saw Job Growth. Other regions of the country… Meh, not so much…
https://www.goldbeck.com/sections/observations-advice/january-2022-labour-force-update/
Someone should compare the US BLS numbers with a basket of countries. I’m curious if there would be any “outliers”…
The above is the link to the Andrew Lawton Show where he discusses the Freedom Convoy and attempts by Trudeau et al to shut it down. Mr. Lawton also speaks with the lawyer who is representing the Truckers. There is a team of five constitutional lawyers involved in contesting the gofundme situation.
But that was recorded BEFORE GFM decided to steal the funds using the government’s false accusations as basis.
Western culture remains founded on the Christ story – self sacrifice as the highest virtue.
All western Man feels the pull of self sacrifice. Even the irreligious.
Islam has no such ideology. It teaches total obedience and submission. Islam therefore produces splendid suicide bombers, but heroes with self-initiative? Not so much..
The sad sacks who wound up in solitary after January 6 were stumbling toward self sacrifice. Ray Epps just pointed the way.
The spiritual high water mark of western culture was the sacrifice in the trenches of world war I. Millions of young men gave themselves up to demonstrate their fealty to their country, their culture and their religion. Just because they were willing didn’t make the sacrifice moral.
Now our truck drivers are the latest to offer themselves up. Trudeau and his fascist lackeys will undoubtedly make these heroes pay a high price. The argument that these men go willingly is very weak tea.
One of the obvious reasons and needs for good leadership in any conflict is to avoid needless sacrifice and waste of resources. Nothing happening now in Ottawa or elsewhere is necessary to achieve a hard-headed, clear-eyed objective. Never mind the romance, pass the ammunition.
By simply parking their trucks and going on strike, until the federal government acceded to their demands, the truckers would have won. Maybe by now. But the frisson of self sacrifice would have been denied to them.
“The spiritual high water mark of western culture was the sacrifice in the trenches of world war I. Millions of young men gave themselves up to demonstrate their fealty to their country, their culture and their religion. Just because they were willing didn’t make the sacrifice moral.”
WWI was basically stumbled into and was a high water mark of stupidity.
Til the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Staying in Afcrapistan past a few weeks of bombing, trying to win hearts-and-minds was the biggest mistake there.
There are still Americans who left behind and the real numbers of how many were left are starting to come out
https://dailycaller.com/2022/02/03/u-s-government-left-as-many-as-9000-american-citizens-in-afghanistan-after-withdrawal-senate-report-reveals/
“Americans” ….don”t make me laugh
They were in vast majority Afghans with US visas and some duals.
Afghans with ‘papers’, not Americans.
The Globalists will use Islam to destroy Christianity, Western peoples & Western Civilization. Bosnia was their test run. They even practiced a test run for ethnic cleaning with the Serbs in Krajina. Top Croatian Generals & politicians were caught on tape saying that the Clinton administration/NATO gave them permission to get rid of all the Serbs in Krajina.
Someone on here said that Ukraine was the Bidens/Obama grift patch. Well Yugoslavia was war criminals Albright & the criminal/traitor clinton administration’s. the US had the islamic fundamentalist faction of the Bosnian Muslims rip up the treaty the Bosnian Serbs & Bosnian Croats had already signed, contrary to what the lying/gaslighting media said, the US wanted the war and they had their Bosnian Muslim start it for their grifting/looting operations
“Western culture remains founded on the Christ story – self sacrifice as the highest virtue.”
Certainly the triumph of Western culture was a result of historical Christian values translated into society, politics and law.
Some of us are appalled by martyrdom as a value at all, however. We can agree to disagree on that.
GoFundMe’s snowflakes are going to ruin their business. Good riddance.
Hmmm. I had recently read that some of the money did, in fact, get paid out to the truckers’ convoy.
So exactly which donations made their way to where they were intended to go, and exactly which donations will be diverted, if no refund is requested?
What if EVERYONE requests a refund – who gets told “sorry, no, your donation was already paid out?”
Just one more reason why, yeah, sometimes lawyers do come in handy.
GoFundMe (should be GoFu#!Me lol) distributed an initial million. The rest has been denied to the truckers.
right but his/her question is WHICH million – did it include your contribution or mine or both or neither?
is that really quantifiable which dollar flowed in and out of whose account?
The one million might be deducted as prorated across all the donations to be refunded.
..or the initial million was supplied from the earlier donations and won’t be refunded to them possibly
that headline and event, was only done, so people will say what you said WHEN others say why did they steal the truckers money.
its a sick tactic of public relation firms… manipulating people via them having different levels of involvement in the details.
GFM had authorized $1M to be withdrawn but is locking up the remaining $9+ M
Yup. Here’s Tamara’s update:
https://rumble.com/vu2xcl-freedom-convoy-2022-tamara-lich-givesendgo.html?mref=jd1f9&mrefc=2
Tick……tock…it’s almost time.
Any questions about the intent of the cabal.
Stop payments everyone and this will be just more bad press for deep state and a suicide move for Go Fund Me, win-win.
FJB…FJT…FJB…FJT…FGFM…
If I had paid by check I would pay the stop payment charge that my bank would charge but that would be the cost I am willing to pay to stop GFM from using my money for something I did not approve. I used the CC and disputed the charge tonight for non provision of service purchased.
Contest your credit card charge. Get an immediate credit to your account with a charge back for not providing the requested service. Contested charges cost the company that failed to provide service. Your cc contested charge will also get any % that you may have given to GFM back.
How is this financial fraud any different from Bernie Maddoff theft of funds?
avenati is in the news again. facing 22 years in jail for misappropriating funds from the shameless hussy.
I don’t think gofxxme has a lawyer that says they can cheat with the money.
credit card companies will collude with gfm
they will spout out something about criminality
That would be stupid on their part since non-providing service or product is one of their provisions for contesting a charge. If stupid is in fashion it will be no effort on my part closing the account. Heck I closed a BOA account of 36 years last year for not giving me my cash since I had no mask on. That move took me over a month of changing banking draft charges to a new bank.
truckers can sustain via their pre-planning to take this stand.
all this money issue did, was further awake people on the fence.
another swamp monster unmasked on a global scale.

to offset the narrative – try to unite as much as possible. the narrative will be (and will be swallowed by the people in matrix) that a terrorist organization had their money revoked. Unity can overcome this lie.
“they just want to work, and the government is saying they can’t provide for their families, while also not allowing the food to be delivered to the citizens of Canda”
Once everyone moves to digital currency, this will happen often in order to control those people/organizations they don’t agree with.
I found the crime– such terrible unlawful behavior, what were they thinking?! 😉
I certainly don’t remember similar actions being taken when there were fundraisers for the various Occupy movements, the BLM “protests” (which were CLEARLY riots), nor for the bail funds to get violent offenders who had been arrested for “violence and other unlawful activity” (using GoFundMe’s own words). Funny how they only do this to CERTAIN fundraisers when, in the past, their policy has been to refund the money to those who donated, not to seize the whole amount & play Commie Robin Hood by “distributing” the funds to their hand-picked charities. I’m interested to see if any of this money ends up back in the hands of the fascists in Canada that demanded it be seized, i.e. government officials getting a portion of the kickback.
the diplomatic pouches will have to go a different route.
thats going to affect the system, without any of us knowing.
Canadian truckers should hire Lin Wood to sue Go Fcuk Me for slander. Someone contact their organizer.
Canadian Truckers already have lawyers and accountants, the last thing they need is another lawyer… They would end up with nothing by the time all the lawyers and accounts charges are paid…
Canadian truckers have Canadian constitutional lawyers currently. GFM is a US firm and conforms to US law, not Canadian law. If you read GFM’s statement in this article, they have slandered the Canadian truckers.
Canadian Constitutional lawyers are not experts in US defamation law. And visa versa.
BTW, Lin does this stuff on contingency.
Need an internet bill of rights.
If this has been posted, I apologize. Apparently the truckers have now started a page on GiveSendGo, according to The National File, linked via Liberty Daily.
It seems they’ve raised $90,000 so far, and according to the National File, the action is picking up.
It’s criminal on a level which is simply indescribable what GFM has done. But those brave, indefatigable, honourable truckers are on the right path now.
Plan A is a bust…onward with Plan B. Godspeed you magnificent men!!🙏
I can get to the givesendgo website, but to click into other pages on the site I get “Error 502.” Anyone know what’s wrong?
I’m guessing their servers can’t handle the overwhelming donations at the moment.
That’s exactly it. Keep trying.
Who are the CEO and top officials of GoFundMe? Make them hide from public for 20 years.
Yup. Here’s Tamara’s update:
https://rumble.com/vu2xcl-freedom-convoy-2022-tamara-lich-givesendgo.html?mref=jd1f9&mrefc=2
Don’t know if true, but read at another conservative blog (AoSHQ) from a commenter there that each Credit Card dispute/chargeback costs GoFundMe $29 — and if they dispute your chargeback, you dispute it again and it costs them again, etc. etc.
They may need to have a fundraiser for themselves if enough people do that (I already have) — and potentially to defend themselves/payout against a giant class-action lawsuit.
Bank will not charge them. easy fix.
but, still do it. make them do more unequal acts in the open. That is the value of this. More people being forced to see how they operate (normally in the shadows)
Ace is The Man!
He really is. The best.
Now, more than ever, your state of mind must be consciously controlled by YOU. Our psychological health is critical right now. Resolve, clear thinking, and inspired action are vital in these times. A very practical and inspiring video reminding us of this necessity was posted in April of 2020, but is even more pertinent NOW. A must watch!
I have actually thought (no pun intended) that a purpose of the vaccines is mind control. As others have occasionally posted, it surely seems like the vaccinated have become even more firmly entrenched in their liberal (fascist) idealogy. Just my subjective observation.
The gaslighting and fear mongering has been the mind control effort – and it worked extremely well for the Satanic Globalists.
Consider how many people have bought into the covid and Quackcine narratives. It’s staggering but unfortunately a statement on the reality of living under the delusion that the media gives us real news and that government tries to protect its citizens.
Our psychological freedom and autonomy is always ours, there for the taking. Unfortunately, too many have given up that power to the mainstream giants of all genres, not just the news – education, medical, entertainment, corporations, governments, etc. They have been cultivating that obedience and dependency for a very long time – this is just the BIG FAT MIRROR showing us what they have already done. Many ARE realizing this and taking their power back.
Just observing our members general reaction…
I believe GOFUNDME is going to the wood-shed and a pack of Lawyers-from-hell are going to have their merry way with them.
Cold Anger, to quote Sundance, comes to mind.
Just sayn

Better late then never but it appears our allies at that fort are currently under siege by the enemy saboteurs
Get an error, bad gateway
I dont think their defenses will be able to withstand the assault from the combined might of big tech and their government intelligence allies.
Keep reading what the browers say below that… gateway timed out. Overwhelm. Too busy right now. Try again.
Transfer the fund raising effort to an organization with integrity, like Give Send Go, instruct all givers to request direct refunds from Go Fund Me, and ask donors to resubmit
to the new fund. Drive the ‘in your face’ message home by re-raising the entire $10M on a new platform. I haven’t given to the effort, but would gladly jump on board to slap down these corrupt tyrants. Time to really hurt Go Fund Me.
Seems like it’s even better to dispute the transaction with your bank.
Shameful!
Back the Blue!Ottowans, you DO know where they, your humble city servants, sleep, no?
I just clicked dispute at my bank for the contribution I made to the truckers through GoFundMe.
I’d follow up with an in-person phone call. Sometimes the electronic process doesn’t yield the desired result that a personal phone call can produce.
Remember their first question to you will be, have you attempted to resolve this problem with the company (GFE)
and if you haven’t they will tell you to try that first.
So have some sort of an appropriate answer for that question…
This is an appeal to any of you with YouTube content or even accounts.
I implore you to upload your content to Rumble.com. If there is content on YT you enjoy, ask the person that did the video/s to also load it on Rumble.
This situation with GFM couldn’t be more clear. They can deny access and remove content at will. Think of the countless things we search for that only comes up with a YT video available.
That needs to change NOW.
Bleed these suckers dry.
My goodness, the actions of the elite are true signs of desperation. They are running scared. They are destroying themselves because they have no choice. Their options are running out. They thought 10 million scared them, just wait.
They aren’t running scared. They’re playing hardball and they mean to win and squash this resistance worldwide. These actions are directed also at the American, Australian and European audiences to not even think about starting this back home.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but this is delusional thinking that we are in the drivers’ seat. At best it’s a stalemate for the time being. They have a lot of options left some of which are unthinkable because they are the state and can call upon other states like the US for governmental assistance – even covert.
Agree 100%. All this talk of how we’ve “won,” how desperate they are, how pathetic Trudeau is, how scared they are, etc. is absurd. They may look like idiots to us, but they hold all the power, they know it, and they will use it as they see fit. As you say, they’re playing to win. They always do. And, yes indeed, this is also meant to send a message around the world to any truckers, or anyone else for that matter, thinking about organizing a protest to think again. It’s meant to have the same chilling and silencing effect of post 1/6 events – effects so powerful that even Trump told people not to go to DC for the protest planned the following year.
Send your money to go-fund-me and they will have a great time spending it, any way they wanna.
They just pissed away every drop of their credibility.
Who runs gofundme and where do they live?????
Legal action needs to be taken against GOFUNDME, and people need to boycott them. Send the AH’s under!
Besides the GFM HQ in Redwood City CA, there are offices in:
Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego CA.
Detroit MI (Not all that far from Canada folks. Just sayin’)
Dublin, Ireland (The people in this office hate Guiness)
Barangaroo, Sydney Australia
GoFundMe CEO and key executive team | Craft.co
GoFundMe investors
Accel Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures, Meritech Capital Partners, Greylock Partners, Stripes Group, Iconiq Capital
If GEffM were legitimate, there would be a process up front, to certify the fund met their ambiguous and arbitrary “policies”.
They had ample time to check out the truckers fund and ensure it’s legitimacy. This looks like evidence of intention to defraud donors.
Done at the behest of Canadian government
The money is being redirected to Black Lives Matter. This is the US govt intervening, not the Canadian govt.
Ottawa city and police department asked.
I don’t know if anyone on that convoy reads here, but you need to get a Tienanmen banner up now! Spray it on a bed sheet if you have to!
So that BLM officials can buy up the rest of the neighborhood around the $6.7M former Canadian Communist Party Mansion to make it the new CHAZ Zone?????!!!!!
Shut it down!
Shut it ALL Down
Didn’t GoFundMe raise $$$ for the murderous terror group BLM?
Everyone who donated need to report fraud to their credit card company. This is a black and white case of fraud.
.
And Chelsea Manning to pay his/her criminal fines. And George Floyd’s “memorial”. And Peter Strozk defense fund or whatever (still “active”)…
How is this not outright theft, not to mention fraud?
Any conservative who uses GoFundMe needs to have their head examined for holes.
Same goes for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
These organisations hate us. Wake up.
I “heard” that people have til Feb. 19 to get their $$ back from GFM.
Someone who actually donated has more solid info, I hope.
*****Oops. It’s in the article! PHEW!*****
Get your money out folks!
Well CTH did post the link and the note from the organizer saying 1 M was being release convinced me. Yea I was a skeptic about it and did not do very much money.
Go Fk Me is their new name. Give me a good site and stop complaining.
BTW, everyone hates us. Get a clue. Why do you think they are trying to kill us with a shot?????!!!!!! Watch Gate Ted talk and you will have an answer. Read Kennedy’s The Real Anthony Fauci.
Also, think about getting off you chair and keyboard and get involved. I am reviewing election and registration information and have signed up to be an election judge. You can complain, but are you in the game? Did you give money? Why do you care what we do?
My husband l have been politically active for most of the last 30 years. I was a Young Republican in high school and college. We were.precinct captains, vote recount poll watchers, phone bank callers, and delegates. Now.we are in our 70s and l am unable to be active. But we have contributed more than most, l think. So, Sonny, don’t act like you invented political involvement. But thank you for doing it, just as we have always done. It is necessary. And yes, this is the hill.
He is motivating us to get off our a55 and do something. You shouldn’t have taken this personal and with your past contributions. Rather you could have showcased it and showed people what they are capable of doing, too.
It’s actually embezzlement. A company like GFM holds itself out as a fiduciary, meaning its only legal function is to collect and distribute funds to the causes and charities it accepts as clients and at the direction of contributors. GFM has NO DISCRECTIONARY power whatsoever over these funds, regardless of their terms of service. The general public understands them to be a service that will direct their payments to the cause/charity intended. If GFM does anything else with these funds, they have violated their fiduciary duty and committed embezzlement of funds.
