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.
If this is not “that” hill, then there never will be.
How is the supply chain functioning right now??
The hacks are already working on subverting GSG. Twitter is suppressing positive comments as “sensitive ” while highlighting the hateful comments. Twitter and GEffM need to both go the way of the dodo.
Hold the Line, says Pastor Pawlowski:
Nitasha Charmaine7 hours ago
My dad is there and said this was exactly what the truckers and farmers needed to hear. They were ready to quit. Standing strong now
Tell your dad & those with him, thank you, for holding the line. This is bravery & honor in action.
There is strength in numbers – especially when incrementally awakened to the truth
(of the affects of quiet, increasing tyranny being wratched up like the slowly warming of a pot of water as a peaceful frog in the water is unknowingingly getting cooked)….
Someone just might have turned the heat up too fast and the proverbial frogs have begun to hop out of the pot, to find, to restore true peace and safety – without someone’s miss controlling the environment…
..i.e. people are actively protesting to help to stop others from turning up the heat on senseless vax mandates…
Other countries have already done, just that…
and Iowa has declared an end to the pandemic declaration on Feb. 15th ( about 2 yrs after it started ) and to begin treating it like other common illnesses that occur. (care, without the hype or miss controls of people… )
Imho
Coki – Thank you for this video. Have a Slavic background. I am actually mourning/ laughing when I think of how my entire lineage left Slovakia to get away from this very same sh#t going down these days. They went through Ellis Island. I have the documents to prove it.
I am still trying wrap myself around what seems to be an eagerness to allow any person, not racist here at all, to allow any person of with a shade of skin, other then white, some sort of privilege, that was not afforded to my ancestry to enter the US of A without any question whatsoever. So many countries in the world are doing the same.
To their detriment.
When do the pitchforks start showing up at the Soros and Schwab doorstep. The time is anon.
As a first generation American, I often wonder the same thing. It took years for my immediate family to get into this Country.
Knowing what I know now, I can hear my grandmother telling the Federal Government to “Shove it,” had such tyranny existed then.
Telegram group “Truckers For Freedom” just announced Freedom Truckers are getting ready to protest GFM headquarters in Redwood City CA.
They don’t go to work there. Find out where their local Whole Foods is and stop delivery there. Find out where their gas stations are and stop shipping gas there.
HQ, that is not going to do crap. How about making sure their parent food stores only get oat meal delivered. Maybe make sure those Tesla’s they are buying are not getting delivered.
I am all for that, but think that every single bit of pushback is needed and welcome. There are countless people who may never hear of the treachery pulled by GFM, but may look into it if the truckers are there protesting. I can definitely see this morphing into a national strike.
Where do the officers of GFM live.
Boycott, picket and embargo them where ever.
Well good GFM just Forked themselves on their own retard.
Let’s hope so
GFMs reviews went from 5% bad to 26% in the last three hours on Trustpilot.com Hit them where you can. Please review them Treepers!
GFM needs to go from running to defunct as a business and its officers in prison for major fraud and securities violations.
I did last night…left a scathing review…called them fraudsters etc etc….
Bless them for their protest if carried out.
May it be loud enough to shake the trunks of the giant redwoods!
And, for the record, why does such a “fiduciary resource” as GFM have their headquarters in such a grand & wealthy area? Smells a lot like an open cesspool to me!
“We now have evidence from law enforcement (…)”
… yeah… right!
Just like Ned Price. Where’s Matt Lee???
There was a video online, a couple of days ago. A man going into a hotel he was staying in in Ottawa saw a police officer guarding a luggage type trolly that was LOADED with large canisters labeled “explosive, corrosive” . He tried asking the cop what was in them, and the cop smart assed him back. I think some people mirrored that video – because people in Canada couldn’t get it to play. The cops attitude reminded me of the J6 cops. Smug, knowing and dangerous.
All cops are dangerous.
Yep. They are going to “January 6” this thing.
Hopefully the Canadians don’t fold like a cheap suit like the Americans did and actually push back.
Amen!
..and then when he got on an elevator another cop followed him in. Intimidation.
And a pox on those in blue who serve honorably. Time for a good housecleaning!
There are thousands of us. This is our moment . How do we get money to the truckers?
We’re donating at givesendgo but it’s crashing now because it can’t handle the load. Keep trying.
That’s a good sign. If the servers can’t handle the load then the load is extraordinary. Please be patient.
Now the truckers have a clear enemy. If the funds are not released, a nationwide truckers’ strike will ensue, not to end until the funds are released in full. Let’s see how long Montreal and Toronto are able to hold out.
To really turn up the heat on Sheikh Justin bin Trudeau ibn Pierre, the Truckers need to convince the NHL players and coaches of the Canadian teams to support them. Have them go on strike until the mandates are gone. “Oh Hell Yeah, Canada!”
This is WAR. ALL truckers in the US and Canada need to slow roll, call in sick, or go on strike.
Bring the damn economy to its knees. Everywhere. DO IT NOW!!!
Sitting in Ottawa at this point is now counter-productive. Fighting needs to be asymmetrical, not just focused in one place.
“It is the rule in war, if ten times the enemy’s strength, surround them…” Sun Tzu
Definitely a case for all who cherish liberty:
No pain. No gain.
If we don’t stand with those trying to preserve our rights, we stand against them.
No gray areas here.
Watch now – Pastor Pawlowski preaching to truckers to not be afraid:
“Because our God is bigger than their god.”
They don’t have a god.
Their god is government.
Everybody has a god, whether they know it or not. Some worship the creator, others a creation.
Watch now – Pastor Pawlowski preaching to truckers to not be afraid:
Shades of JPII.
Theft?
Stop thinking there are Rules that Marxists will observe — they are playing for keeps, and when we use their tools, we are just playing. . . .

Now, do we want to win, or continue to bang our heads against the wall expecting a different result. . . ?
Crashing:) there’s interest.
FYI, I didn’t dig into the statement but if they did say they would give it to BLM don’t fall for it.
Instead we need to appeal to BLM and make them realize this is about experimental injections similar to the Tuskegee experiment. This is to create division nothing more. Do NOT let them do it.
Turn their own weapon on them. I like it.
Luke, BLM are an arm of Soros. There’s no appealing to them. This is all by design, and by the same people.
No please listen, you are not completely wrong but there’s hope.
https://futurenews.news/watch?id=61fc67bf7d8edc017a95c3a3
BLM are just brown shirts they are a fake grassroots organization.
It’s not that simple. There’s common ground
No matter their criminality or misinformation, it is their continue ability to live that is compromised by a series of clot shots, not to mention the social controls implications.
BLM is the fundraising arm of the democraps. Please excuse me for thinking that your thoughts of appealing to BLM are highly naive. The democraps have already demonstrated that they care not a whit for what you and I think of as moral. Money and power drive them. Nothing else.
https://futurenews.news/watch?id=61fc67bf7d8edc017a95c3a3
It won’t matter. All they care about is the money, and if it burns Whitey at the same time, so much the better.
I assume you know blm has nothing to do with actual, real, law abiding, black people, right?
That’s actually a very good pitch – blacks probably have several common disadvantages with the clot shots. The spike protein is somewhat rayciss.
I’m speechless.
The fact that GFM is not only withholding donated funds, but now deciding how to let them to organizations of its choice is really quite upsetting. I might suggest a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all the donors, funded by the likes of us P-Off observers. So maddening!
Felony arrest, with teeth resting on the pavement.
This is a major fraud, with millions of dollars that represent lifetimes of work AND the literal political/physical survival hopes of many of the donors
Literally their goal.
Tamara Lich update!!! GiveSendGo fundraiser set up!!!!

Rumble needs to put a link to the new place at that vid.
For those who may have donated thru gofundme don’t use the gofundme refund form. Instead issue a chargeback/open a dispute with your bank. This way gofundme will have to pay $15 or more for each chargeback request plus the refund amount. This is how all banks work. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Make it cost them to steal peoples money.
Yea, but they will go someone. This is not going to be pretty. Better to go after them for falsing collecting money and charge them with Fraud.
Need to inform the bank GFM is a fraud.
Shut down all GFM activities.
If bank ignores, they are on the fraud/s*** list too.
Are you so sure the banking industry won’t make YOU pay the chargeback request? The way things are going I think I’d be happy to get my original money back so I could re-donate it. What you’re suggesting sounds like another “stupid game”. You sound like a sane person but you’re dealing with evil wack jobs.
Thanks for the compliment regarding my sanity. I did several readings and found my minds still fairly sound. (Words from a song long ago) The path I suggested is not my words either. Just do your research and you will find GiveSendGo is also recommending this course of action as are several other well known posters here. But you are 100% right about evil whack jobs who will resort to the lowest of the low. They are desperate to stop this movement in its tracks.
It should be a world wide strike. Second, I put $10 in the kitty and gave GFM (which now is Go Fu&^ Me) 50 cents.
Where do I sign up for the Class Action Law Suit?
Time to expose Go Fund Me as a fraud. I used the Truckers to line their own pockets.
https://craft.co/gofundme
Lets go for the shot gun approach and sue the investors:
Accel Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures, Meritech Capital Partners, Greylock Partners, Stripes Group, Iconiq Capital
Why, oh, WHY were they using Gofundme?? They have a history of this crap.
Why does everyone still use fb?
Can we get our money back and send it directly to the truckers? Use this link for a refund from GoFundMe and never use them again. They are disgusting. Does anyone have another contact that we can send money to to help support our brave truckers?
https://support.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=4417744045211
Do a charge back on your credit card. Do not use gofundme’s refund form.
GoFundMe, like all Big Tech, is the enemy. They should be treated as such. There are other conservative funding apps that should be favored. DuckDuckGo ‘conservative alternatives to gofundme’.
GiveSendGo is reputable. The truckers have set up a fund on there. It is currently under stress due to the number of people donating and also the attacks from the outside.
Freedom Convoy should pick a conservative civil rights charity who will then transfer those charity funds once received from GoFundMe to their give/send/go account.

From Gateway Pundit article:
we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.”

When even the Leftist of the Lefties is asking questions about BLM funds, you know that it’s BAD!! Unless of course, you’re Go Fund Me, who has apparently never found an organization too corrupt or violent for them to support but who has now suddenly decided that law abiding small business owners building soup kitchens are domestic terrorists?
Beam me up Scotty, there is NO intelligent life here anymore!
This from Tim Pool’s podcast. turns out the “peaceful” blm’c lyin chickens are coming home to roossssttttt. Someone should tell go fund me:
BLM Shutters Fundraising Amid MASSIVE Scandal, BLM Called A SCAM (rumble.com)
All truckers in Canada (and the U.S., too) should shut down the entire distribution network. Not a thing moves. It will be no picnic, to be sure. But there can be only ONE WAY that this resolves, and that CANNOT BE with Trudeau and his mandates still in place.
Let Biden’s handlers stew on that one, too!
Guessing now that PDJT has another business opportunity.
Good idea. Hopefully someone passes it on… if he hasn’t thought of it already
This will also have an impact on trucker convoys that may be organizing in the US, just as the events after 1/6 had a chilling effect on so many patriots. The long arm of fascism is showing us there is no limit to what it can do. And we’re seeing it unfold. Even watching what’s happening from afar, in our gut, I think many know this is what can be done to any of us if we dare challenge the tyrannical status quo. It’s all done out in the open. The one scenario where there is relative transparency, because they want you to see and understand the enormity of their power – corporate power, tech power, government power, etc.
Many trucks have left since this started. Blockades have been set up. GFM won’t release the funds they raised. I would imagine that many truckers are feeling exhausted and dispirited. And, yes, I understand these are exceedingly sturdy men. But when you go to the seat of government to demand the government reverse course on a major thing they are insanely invested in (COVID as a reason to seize even more power), you’d have to know this was going to get very nasty very fast.
And so it has. And they’re only just ramping up.
I pray for the truckers. May they be blessed with all the strength and resources they need in this perilous time ahead.
Yep so what!
F**k em all!
We are just getting started, maybe we have to fall back a little.
Regroup, but never surrender.
32 years I worked as a large city Police Officer…I always despised the majority of the officers.
Now it would be all of them..
It’s tough though, as two good decent close relatives of ours still are in uniform.
They are tarred with the same brush..
They too are disgusted but this whole Globalist scheme has ensnared many.
Keep fighting though..
Cheers!
Never use GoFundMe for anything. The company has shown repeatedly they are a complete tool of the Left.
Short video message from one of the lawyers representing the truckers:
https://cleverjourneys.wordpress.com/2022/02/04/urgent-message-to-the-world-from-canadian-truckers-freedom-convoy/?preview=true
When you see who actually owns GoFundMe you will see why they fund only radicals.
Time for a civil rights violation against the Lawfare group.
Organizers facing possible class action lawsuit
Organizers of the protest were dealt another blow on Friday evening in the form of a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of Ottawa residents who live near the protest.
The statement of claim accuses the organizers of the protest of causing significant harm to residents due to their use of loud truck horns for “12 to 16 hours” daily.
The lawsuit notes that people who live near Parliament Hill are accustomed to protests, “but they have never experienced anything like the constant and excruciatingly loud horns of the Defendants’ Freedom Convoy.”
It is seeking $5 million in “punitive damages” and another $4.8 million in “private nuisance” damages. The lawsuit has been filed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
“The Freedom Convoy horn protest organized by the defendants has caused significant mental distress, suffering and torment,” the document says.

Have the truckers so much as knocked over a plastic cone? Where is this “violence” argument coming from?
Someone posted an article today from a resident of Ontario. The guy went out and interacted with the truckers. Some on the nicest people he wrote. They shovel snow, the clean up garbage, they don’t honk horns after 6PM etc., etc. The Ontario police and twinkle socks are blatantly lying about these Canadian citizens. I sincerely hope the truckers are taking notes for their own defamation lawsuits.
The Ottawa police chief heard that Abe Lincoln said everything on the internet is true, so he’s going with that 🤷♂️
From the minds of the Ottawa Karens who fantasize about getting assaulted by the big truckers with their big trucks.
Have there been any arrest? No. Then GoFundMe is in violation of there product offering and the contributors should seek class action status and sue the GoFundMe.
Send the convoy to GoFundMe’s headquarters.
Given what we’ve already seen from GFM, this could have been predicted. Never give a dime to anyone through them..
Give send go is the right wing alternative to gofundme and no one uses it. Stop using the left wing platforms. We have seen this same thing play out a million times.
I read that contributors should not use the refund link, but instead challenge the payment using their own banking platform. This will cost GoFundMe some activity charge each time… $15.00 was mentioned
Elon Musk weighs in. Appreciate him being on the right side of this, but wish he’d put some money where his mouth is. Lord knows, he has enough of it.
https://therightscoop.com/elon-musk-slams-gofundme-as-professional-thieves/
“…wish he’d put some money where his mouth is.”
Me too – Trump as well.
If I had billions I’d happily reimburse the ten million (…but, that’s probably why I don’t have billions.)
Listen to this!
Rekieta Law read the fine print of GoFundMe. Remember Owen Benjamin’s lawsuit against Patreon, same idea. They’re on the hook for massive fees for pulling the Freedom Convoy’s Fundraiser. Clipped Rekieta talking about it.
https://odysee.com/@vsidious:6/FreedomConvoy2022GoFundMeLegalTactic:6
Here it is:
If you donated to the freedom convoy file a charge back immediately.
They will likely get charged 10 to $15 for every charge back.
Otherwise GoFundMe announced your money goes wherever they want.
Probably BLM
Vote in the poll supporting the truckers
https://www.vicnews.com/web-poll/poll-do-you-support-the-convoy-of-truckers-protesting-vaccine-restrictions-in-canada/
Voted just now — six times more people are supporting the Convoy than those who do not. Winning!
If only the Truckers for Freedom would funnel 10% to the Big Guy , like BLM, all would be good.
GoFundMe just committed suicide.
Be sure to get the name of the executives and the stock holders, please.
…and arrest them.
All the organizers need to do is 3 things:
GoFundMe was ALWAYS a bad idea. The same problems have happened in the US when we’ve tried to donate to legal defense funds and similar.
Create a bank account that the Canadian Government cannot touch, add a cell phone to the account, and move out.
Can say they didnt warn us
It reminds me of when the Obomber administration wiped out Libya and then stole the Gold and plugged the Libyan national bank into the Bank of International Settlements in Basel Switzerland. Same kind of theft.
And all of the sudden there is a class action lawsuit suing the founders of the trucker movement for $10 million.
They aren’t anti-vax. They are anti mandates of any kind. They are fighting for our freedom that most everyone else too big of cowards to do.
I support a Class Action against whoever tries to abscond with the Convoy donors money. Not theirs to touch.
