The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), a media entity funded by the Canadian government, announces today that “freedom” is a word used by extremist “far-right” groups. These are the same labeled groups the Canadian government has called racist and worse.
Yes, the official position from the Canadian state media [Article Here] is that freedom is racist.
Marxism in its most historically accurate form, always uses manipulation of language as a technique for influencing society. Political correctness is better known as cultural Marxism, because that is actually what happens. This type of ridiculous effort by leftist media does not need to be countered, it just needs to be mocked and ridiculed mercilessly.
When everything is extremism, nothing is extremism. When everything is racist, nothing is racist. Remember, political protests the leftists do not support are called violence; and the political violence the leftists do support is called protest.
GiveSendGo Freedom Convoy Fundraiser page is back up now…but was not able to donate.
https://www.givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022
Just checked. Fully up and operational again.
It went down again 20 minutes after it was up. Still down since yesterday night.
Still waiting for President Trump’s multi-million dollar donation.
I say this as a generous donor …
Respectfully, your going to (and SHOULD IMHO) have a long wait.
Firstly, not everything is about “Trump”, and I say that as a fervent supporter OF PDJT.
The movement existed, long before the escalator ride and will continue after he is regretably gone.
How long? at least since 1964, when it was “Barrys boys”, a portion of the Republican base has been in conflict with the Rinos, which we called “Rockefeller Republicans”, and later “Country club Republicans.
The same ethos was the Tea Party, which like Barrys campaign was the base attempting an insurgency AGAINST the party leadership.
Thats some history on this war. Now, PDJT contributing to the Truckers would be the WORST thing he could do, for himself and for the Truckers, and fortunately he knows it.
And that you don’t understand that, inherently makes me wonder if I should take the time to understand.
I don’t think so, lets just say your comment doesn’t qualify as “best comment of the day”.
Thx for the history lesson, Dutchman
My age goes back that far but not my awareness of politics except the Kennedy assassination in 63 (I was 10)
I do remember hearing about Barry Goldwater but that’s the depth of my knowledge at the time
So like I said, appreciate the education
Here’s how low LBJ was willing to stoop:
Carter tried that nuclear war crap on Reagan in 1980.
The rest of the story….
Bill Moyers used that as his “street cred”, and was cited as being
the voice of “intellect” and “reason” forevermore.
He also made an absolute pile of money from PBS for decades
after the fact.
And then that bastard LBJ engineered the Bay of Tonkin incident just to get us more involved in the fighting.
Lying Lyndon could get much worse than that.
He was a murderous psychopath, literally crazy mean.
One rabid democrat that I knew, described how LBJ on the election trail behaved to his supporters off camera, screaming and swearing at them to get away from his car like a madman.
“Here’s how low LBJ was willing to stoop”
Thx, ACMe
And Dems never stopped stooping
Around 1986 or so I was in a Philippine surf camp with a bunch of Aussies and they were frantic that Reagan was gonna start a nuclear war with (Breznev?)
Doubtless due to the same kind of leftist propaganda and “news” slant
I told them, “Nah – Reagan’s just playing tough guy for political/strategic advantage to get the Soviets to back off their aggressive stance”
But they couldn’t be swayed. There’s always a competitive edge when Yanks an Okkers get together, in no small measure because of Okker resentment that the US is top dog
But I could tell they’d been propaganded … “More ‘n most people” to quote a Cohen Brothers line
I just turned 43 and there is a wealth of knowledge to be gleaned inside the walls of the Treehouse! Way to stay humble, bro.
Classiest reply.
Well put.
Thank you for posting this Dutchman.
When I see Trump flags at protests here, in Canada or elswhere (actually saw a couple in videos from Europe and Australia) that Trump flag is now about more than just President Trump. 😁
Truth is, Trump will never spend his money to help patriots because he’s just another politician. Why isn’t he speaking out for the J6 prisoners? Why isn’t he spending money to help them?
All this “oh he can’t draw attention to anything because then the enemy would say they’re bad and he’s bad” when the enemy says that anyway. Trump supporters post-abdication have become minor cultists. Convinced he does nothing because it’s a tactical move. Someday he’s gonna do something! Someday! But when? The world breaks in half and he’s withholding his support until the right moment.
It could be that he’s just compromised by the people who surround him and whisper words into his ear. It could be he was never all that genuine about caring about us, he just wanted to do economic stuff. I don’t know. The man is impossible to read. His public persona was in large part showboating, when he wasn’t making obvious errors that everyone brushed aside. The GOP pre-Trump pandered to Hispanics. Trump tried a new strategy in 2020. Pander to blacks. Now the GOP panders to gays and transgenders. Straight White men? The people who built this country? The only people capable of running it? Trump doesn’t and never did have time for us.
Why do we have to make endless excuses for a man who is not going to win in 2024 because they won’t let him win? Why do we have to spend another 2.5 years supporting Trump? Do we have to support him after another stolen election too? Or can we focus on THE PEOPLE and the solutions that THE PEOPLE can bring?
Everyone is Trump’s mind-reader. Everyone knows that he loves us sooooo much but daddy has to work another Christmas, he’ll be home when he can… at some point the child realizes that daddy does not in fact love them and that’s the reason for a dozen missed Christmases.
Many are frustrated by some of Trump’s actions.
But you do in your first sentence what you accuse others of in the last paragraph: being “Trump’s mind-reader.” You KNOW “he is just another politician.”
I agree Trump is not the super-hero people wanted. But the trucker movement and Tea Party movement show this is not about Trump.
The best way to judge Trump and his presidency is this: Read or listen to his promised platform in his October 2016 speech at Gettysburg, Pa. (Or any other of his policy speeches) He DID do everything he could to promote that platform. He got railroaded by impeachment, foreign events, and Covid – those were not in his platform.
I cannot think of any other politician who fought so hard for his platform.
But it is NOT about Trump. It never was.
Nice Try.
How do you know he hasn’t donated in an anonymous way by means of third parties to help the J6 detainees? The power of the whole of the US government and every illegal means were brought down upon President Trump while he held office. You are fortunate he could accomplish so much. God bless him.
Country Club Republicans still exist. I have maintained properties for them.
Aside from your modesty, President Trump, before and after his becoming President, almost always gave anonymously. With internet sleuthing nowadays, many of his past charitable donations have been brought to light.
Thank you. I’m amazed at the number of people that do not know this about Donald Trump.
Think of all the Hollyweird types that likely give little but lend their support by having their name associated with a cause.
I can’t fathom why people feel they have a right know a person’s charitable giving history let alone dictate where a person’s charitable donation goes. It seems a bunch of us are justly angered that Canada is doing that to GiveSendGo donators.
Why?
This in not about PDJT.
This is about everyone.
Do not forget that he has to pay exhorbanent legal fees due to one bull sh*t investigation after another – in terms of generosity have you or any one else taken up any colloection(s) to help Mr Trump defray the cost(s) of his own costs!!
Maybe it’s time for all of you to start to help him in taking the fight to the likes of traitorious sellout scum the the uniparty decipticon “rin – o – crats” by forcing these elected whores who rob from the people and sell us out to the likes of the chicom commie chinese!!
Stop whining and belly acting and get off your dead asses and take the fight to the established corruption- put pressure on these so called political hacks!! Take away their assets in all forms – have special elections and impeach this cancerous rot like the former carter; both bushes; clinton; obama and now the joebama organized crime syndicates!!
Take up collections for the people doing the actual fighting and quit looking for them to do what you complainers and bitchers and moaners could be doing for yourself instead of staying inside in your cozy, and so called safe homes in outright hiding!! Grow a set, stand up and fight!! The Founding Fathers were even more hard pressed but they stood up, fought and stood the course!! Re read the Declaration of Independence or if you have never read it read it!! As a “legal” citizen it is Your obligation just as it is mine to read it and stand up to tyranny and oppression from within and from without. I am a permanently disabled combat wheelchair Vietnam Veteran – I was willing to both shut up and put up once before and an willing to do so myself once again so stop crying and move into action!!
Every time I go on long trips, I always buy a huge bag of beef jerky.
So for Trump, the best move would be to have a maker of jerky package up branded jerky.
The package would read.
Trump’s
Freedom Jerky
Trucker Edition
Instant collector item of the freedom movement.
Would drive liberals crazy and the government attempt to confiscate beef jerky would be over the top. As soon as the government hears of the plan, they will fold their tent before the bags arrive.
Awesome.
Weapons grade jerky! I like it.
Imagin offering a lib some beef jerky and you don’t show him the label side of the bag. After he eats the jerky show him the bag.
In the meantime, remember back in the 2020 campaign when President Trump flew to Florida for both a fundraiser and roundtable where the fantastic Maximo spoke (think that is his name) how as a young child he first was sent to Spain by his father to be safe from Castro regime, then his family again fled to Florida?
The $10 million fundraiser that followed that moving roundtable was hosted by Troy Link, the CEO of Link Snacks – makers of Jerky, so thinking, look for the Link Snacks brand of jerky to support the company that supported PDJT’s campaign.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump Stores already carry that company’s fine products.
Got a link to that?
Just kidding!
They would find some means to prosecute for it. Probably would use the Hatch act.
Trump, as you do, gets to pick his own battles.
That would really do more harm wouldn’t it?
🙂 😉
Always loved that song!
The visuals are awesome!!
Thanks, Jay 1776 🇺🇲
🙂
IIRC, there was some founding father who wanted the Turkey to be the National bird, glad his opinion didn’t carry the day. Yes, great visuals for “Freedom” by bread,..and so appropriate for this thread.
I wonder if there are any who have been deluded into believing the “company line” put out by media and Govt. and just seeing THIS causes something in their head (critical thinking?) to finally say ‘/”HOLD it, just hold on a minute,…”Freedom?,…really FREEDOM is now somehow a codeword for white supremacy and hate?”
And perhaps this is the straw, and causes them to red pill.
I was reading Ezra Lavant’s stories today and one comes to mind. He’s an independent journalist in Canada and Australia. The govt had fenced off their war memorial and left it unkempt. A group of veterans tore down the fences the govt. had put up and cleaned the snow and ice off.
Ben Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as the national bird.
Worth remembering is that the wild turkey was smart and clever. Farmers spent generations breeding that trait out of them to produce the domesticated meaty idiot cousin we eat at Thanksgiving.
There’s actually a metaphor there about socialism in what befell the proud and independent bird after generations of captivity with all irs needs met.
Be the wild turkey, not the domestic.
Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey for the Nationsl Bird. What would we eat at Thanksgiving?
That FF has his likeness on our 100$ bill!
Sometimes I think of Richie Havens singing “Freedom” at Woodstock… “sometimes I feel like a motherless child”
And I do believe that is called Projection!
Does anyone care about the “race card” anymore? They can call me racist until They are blue in the face and I flat don’t give a rats-ass. I am not what they tell me I am. I tell me what I am.
The Saul Alinsky canards/tactics are not working anymore.
race card bees all raycisssss an’ sheeeeeeit
Cries of freedom are damaging our democracy!!! /s
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose…
Love the Janis reference!
Actually, its true AND so appropriate.
Nothing more fearsome that encountering ANY creature with “nothing left to lose”…and in a sense we should be grateful, as by this assault, threatening to take away EVERYTHING, it is THEIR actions which are reminding us how prescious freedom is.
I’ll thank them, after we’ve won.
Kris.
Right in the middle of DC at the Korean War Memorial. Are the words in big bold letters “FREEDOM IS NOT FREE”
It’s only freedom when it’s something they want!
The next statue our stupid young BLM/antifa/colllege citizen/Karens are going to going to pull down is the statue of FREEDOM atop the US Capitol dome. Good luck with that one!
The FBI and numerous other government agencies will help them
Add “Patriot” to the list of banned words that destroy “our democracy”(you know, the one that’s actually a constitutional republic?) They speak gibberish and their followers repeat it.
Kind of like a cult?
We still value our cars… trucks… and FREEDOM !
That was one of the better commercials that year.
classic, gasoline burning cars and FREEDOM
The current ones, esp EVs, are more wired than a KGB wet dream.
Collectivist ideology. No individualism allowed.
Anti-individualistic , the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human nor spiritual values can exist, much less have value .
And this Ladies and Gentlemen, describes today’s Democrat Party almost to perfection.
Anti-individualistic , the Democrat Party conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State. The Democrat Party conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human nor spiritual values can exist, much less have value .
And the leadership of the Republican party adheres to precisely the same beliefs,….they just LIE about it.
Thats the ONLY difference.
Yeah, McConnell made that abundantly clear on the 6th.
I dunno why they say freedom is “racist,” when Marx himself was a racist to the Nth degree.
Engels also came from a rich family of … factory owners.
He provided the money for Marx’s flash house, his servants and his mistress.
Marx had a child with the family’s maid.
But was she black?
Well what do you know? It just so happens yesterday (Sunday) The Age, an Australian propaganda mouthpiece posing as a News outlet ran a huge front page article …”Falling Into The Freedom Movement …And Getting Out” which is a story about a woman who through no fault of her own was caught up in the ‘freedom movement’ and had to escape …
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/falling-into-the-freedom-movement-and-getting-out-20220104-p59lsl.html
I saw a few articles and a news segment after J6 intended as interventions for the brainwashed victims of QAnon and other radical groups 😂😂😂. Gotta hand it to them, they are audacious.
They are also probably lying with every word they write — including, ‘the’, ‘and’, and ‘a’.
I’m sorry, exactly HOW do you ESCAPE from FREEDOM?
Lock yourself up,..go to the Police and beg THEM to lock you up?
Don the mask and submit.
Then you’ll be safe.
Just get in line for your boosters and put a mask on your babies.
Yes, be a mask martyr. Sacrifice for safety. Submit and be free…..nope.
“Is life so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased by chains and slavery?”
First they want you to pay to read their drivel.. The little I was able to read was so ridiculous its not even worth engaging.
“Liberal: a power worshipper without power.” George Orwell “Communist: a Liberal with power” Colkitto
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
George Orwell
We are in upside down world.
A Communist is a Liberal with a gun!
Canadians are part of a proud warrior race that has earned freedom:
“Soldiers of the Queen” sung by Edward Woodward and considered to be the best version:
They were part of the Devil’s Brigade in Italy and fought bravely at the Scheldt in Sept 1944 (estuary of the entrance to the port of Antwerp that was more harrowing than D-Day ) and Vimy Ridge in WWI. They liberated Apeldoorn.
They kiss a queen’s ass.
Not true. The British monarchy has no influence in Canada, other than ceremonial fluff.
The queen can prorogue Canada’s parliament, it’s happened at least once since 2000 that I know of.
It should happen more often like now!
The Governor General is appointed by The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister
The Governor General gives Royal Assent, which brings parliamentary bills into law
https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/crown-canada/governor-general.html
Freedom is Racist.
Why?
Because all Races want Freedom.
Outstanding.
I wonder if these throngs of Illegals coming over what used to be the Southern Border know that our Country has turned Totalitarian and these freebies are just bait?
Not surprising when you consider who/what these people are – Godless, soulless, evil.
Oh and don’t forget Bitcoin is code for white supremacy…. I’m a gonna need a bigger dog whistle hear-er-rer-er
Their “expert” quoted in the article is someone who is a regular consultant for the RCMP, CBC, the New York Times, and other media organizations. She is the director of a group called the Center on Hate, Bias and Extremism. Another member who is a “coordinator” worked for Google among other consultancies and his area of interest is “right wing extremism”. His “position was made possible by the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism’s recent partnership with Meta Canada”.
Amazing how everything is connected. The Big Tech censors working hard against supposed “right-wing extremism”.
Center for Hate Bias and Extremism, the perfect leftist organization.
What kind of sad miserable life must people like this have?
A lot of infrastructure is being built for “equity and diversity”. Like the ambulance chasing that follows when state bars don’t regulate their numbers (they do this by changing the difficulty and passing score on bar exams), we will be inundated by “d&e experts” who find freedom racist and words violence.
Diversity.
Inclusion.
Equity.
Newly.
Ordered.
World.
DIE
Where school districts go to DIE.
So this Centre she works for promotes “hate, bias, and extremism” with the help of that bizarre and creepy Meta Facebook.
The Race Card is the most rapid-fire, all purpose, over used and abused, ad hominem and vapid weapon of smear, mass deception, diversion and greed ever conceived by man. It is a weapon under which the most wild eyed and feeble minds are severely crouched and can be played with the greatest of ease by even the most reason and integrity challenged, and in fact, was designed especially for use by them. It is void of justice. It is void of liberty. It needs no footing in rationality.
It resembles a witch hunt and is, in plain and clear fact, similar to a lynching where the accused is automatically assumed guilty. At times it is the last refuge of hate filled and money and power hungry scoundrels and at other times the first as they attempt to mass murder intellect, justice and freedom of speech. It has no expiration date. It doesn’t even appear to have a half life. There are those who theorize that it may continue to exist indefinitely in some form even after time itself has come to an end.
Next step appears to be Trudeau using the “Emergency Act” (or similar). Apparently a truck with 2,000 long guns on it was “stolen” — in what suspiciously looks like a false flag. The fear is that Trudeau will use that to obtain further emergency powers and crack down on the protesters.
The Conservative party in Canada will force a vote tomorrow on lifting the federal vaccine mandates. The Quebec Bloc is said to be voting with the Conservatives, but it’s likely not enough to beat Trudeau’s Liberal party combined with the other socialist party.
Ye, it wasn’t Truckers who stole those guns. They really can’t deviate from their playbook.
The Police chief of Ottowa said it, all the Emergency powers in the World don’t mean a thing, if they don’t have the men in Uniform to enforce them.
Imagine a Police chief in a boat, looking at a Great white far bigger than the boat, (we’re gonna need a bigger boat!) and Judtin, coweing in the far end of the boat, and handing the Police chief a fish hook the size of an anchor.
Lifting the mandates is NOT going to motivate the convoy to leave, which is what the Politicians say they want.
Gee, you think it might be a good idea for SOMEBODY to listen to the Truckers, and you know,…ask them?
Yes, and all mandates and take actions to assure them they will NEVER AGAIN do this.
Until that happens, the Truckers stay, and they can stay as long as it takes.
Politicians can play their silly buggers games, and it matters not.
The police chief is a diversity hire who has been out of his competency league for the last 15 years.
He was the Deputy Chief in Toronto and quit when he wasn’t promoted when the chief retired. He quickly appeared in Ottawa, a city filled with lefty bureaucrats and grifters, think DC.
He never will have enough police, soldiers, staff, support etc to get the job done, as its a perfect excuse to excuse his absolute incompetent leadership.
“Honkers of the World, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your lanes!”
Well after all, Justine Castro Trudeau, he’s an ordinary liberty grabbing fascist man
Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance
To make all people live exactly as he wishes, and do precisely what he wants…
An average fascist man is he, of no especially clever whim
BUT!
Let some real Canadians take action against his destructive schemes and his serenity will be through
They’ll destroy his grand controlling plans, from the cellar to the dome
And then go on to the enthralling fun of piece by piece eviscerating him…
War is peace; freedom is slavery – here is a link to an old essay “Abuse of Language – Abuse of Power” by Josef Pieper, written, “about how totalitarian regimes use words to gain control over the masses” as Catholic Insight describes it;
it’s only 56 pages, but time to educate ourselves so we can see even more strings the puppeteers are busy pulling. With Canada moving so swiftly with this use of words, the powers that be must be getting antsy:

sorry, meant to post this Catholic Insight link describing the essay, since the essay itself is pretty dry language. oops.

As Sonny Pyles used to say, ”They are using our vocabulary but not our dictionary.”
I just pulled this book off my shelf again, Bessie, and looked at all the sentences I had underlined. You are correct in recommending it to others to read. An extremely important little essay. Thank you for posting about it.
This is so over the top I bursted out with a belly laugh! Sundance, love your satirical edge!
Fake news Australia has only just started to mention the Canadian protesters, listening to them one would believe that Canada is under attack by right wing rascist Nazi extremists, with ties to middle east extremists behind funded by Russia.
I feel safe safe though in the fact that Biden and the state department are now on the case and are going to clean up the mess.
I feel really bad for the auto industry because it is losing so much money.
NOT Sarcasm.
Still not a SINGLE photo of a swastika. (because there are not any) And the husky chubby doofus in the out-of-place balaclava mask holding the brand-new Confederate (Dem) Flag was working hand in hand with Jussie Castreau’s PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHER!
I seen the truecommies bumchum got busted, they tried the CSA flag thing and got hounded enough that they took it down.
We too have agent provocateurs, funny how it doesn’t matter the country most still stand out like dogs balls !
Like a diamond in a goats rear end.
Photo of swastika, $6500 reward for id of perp. Could be the flag was to mock Fidel Trudeau.

The Commies in America want everyone to forget that the Democrat Party was founded by Slave Owners to protect Slavery!
No one has explained why a chip shortage appeared out of nowhere which crippled out automakers just as Biden was selected.
You don’t hear of anything being done about it or what is causing it. This makes me believe the government was behind it
Now that trucker protests are causing them pain, they have to do something about it using emergency powers.
To slow the production of internal combustion vehicles while electric vehicle production ramps up. The vehicle stock is aging, miles are accumulating, eventually new cars will be needed and they will be electric, with government kill switches for drivers with low social scores which is the same as drivers without vaxx fealty indicator.
Cuba has managed to keep autos from the 1960s and earlier running even to today. I’m afraid Americans may be in the same boat – due to inflation rather than supply – very soon. I WAS thinking of trading in my 2005 vehicle this year until I saw the price of new and used cars.
I thought Taiwan made the bulk of the chips. I also read that they make most of the tooling used to make large machinery, so if China gains control, North American manufacturing is dead.
That’s the goal. Remember, it was America’s manufacturing strength that kept Britain and Russia going until we entered the war and had a significant impact on our eventual victory. Without a significant heavy industry infrastructure we’d be in no better position to supply weapons of war than any other non-manufacturing country.
The auto industry in Southern Ontario was already cutting back, not due to the protests, but because of the supply chain disruption.
The whining by Ford is just an example of the left, reusing a problem to suit their purposes.
Right then. I’ll just add freedom to the pile of ‘words the Left has rendered meaningless’.
It can join racist, sexist, misogyny, democracy, science and vaccine.
No. THIS is where we HOLD the line.
It SHOULD have been when they made Woman meaningless, but that ship has sailed.
But FREEDOM? They CAN NOT, THEY WILL NOT make FREEDOM meaningless!
On Sunday, the Canadian military was sent in to assist law enforcement officials as they forcefully cleared out the Trucker Convoy protest from the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.

Not a single member of the brave Protesters for Freedom was heard to say “Thank you for your service”.
You are being conditioned to view your freedom as selfish.
Where have we heard that before?
Germany in 1933-1945.
You will also own nothing and be happy!
I think 73% of the seats at the Superbowl were filled by celebrities and talentless rappers from California.
At $6k starting tix prices, ye…
Celebrities, many of whom didn’t bother to wear masks. Guess they thought the rules were for the rubes only.
Halftime show was torture. Felt like reparations.
How many words can you rhyme with bitch?
Talented rappers are a rare bird.
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger and Howard stern have said that recently.
Blame it on the Post Modernist French Intellectuals to give us “Moral relativism” and “Deconstruction to which such language is manipulated. Derrida, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Faucault, were all in and hid behind Post Modernism because Socialism ultimately failed, so the cultural Theorist went to work. Gramsci was the one who provided the blueprint for undermining Institutions of western Societies.
It’s surprisingly easier to stay in an argument when you can arbitrarily re-define words. Being articulate and well informed are for people that study and do their homework. It’s way easier to just make stuff up. What was it that David Mamet said?
Just making stuff up… that could be considered a variation on pretending not to know things.
Both are forms of lying.
Yep. The power of dramatic language is what if I recall off the top of my head when referencing Mamet’s technique as reactionary to tribal politics. For the left its a fight to the death, especially when they choose to be purposely obtuse when facts hit in them in the face. Facts? What are those? Pivot, pivot, pivot is the Cultural Marxist’s MO whenever trying to defend their so called arguments. For example, AOC can win an election without ever having to debate the merits of the issues she pretends to stand for. Its maddening to me that so called Conservatives fail to call them out on it and allow them to get away with it too. Its why we can identify CRT when it chooses to outline Christianity as the oppressor among other things. It always comes down to “Oppressed and Oppressor,” the cornerstone of Karl Marx’s Communist manifesto.
The so called “experts” reference mentioned in the tweet is misleading.
The CBC tweet is based on an article written by Jason Vermes who describes himself as a “Two-time RTDNA award-winning journalist with a keen interest in global human & LGBTQ rights.”
So, the rights he seems to value most are LGBTQ rights but not the rights that the Freedom Convoy is protesting like enforced lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations etc.
These CBC contributors are carefully selected Marxists, Trudeau groupies or other left-wing radicals as sundance noted.
Vermes contributes to several CBC shows including “Cross Country Check Up.” Rex Murphy who had a great interview with Mark Steyn on GB News about the Freedom Convoy last week used to be the brilliant, thoughtful host of that CBC show but he and every other non liberal stooge was replaced by a loyal lefty liberal years ago. The taxpayer funded CBC is Canada’s MSNBC.
.
Yes!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Granted that many word manipulations and definition changes over the past few decades have made their way into common lexicon. But at this point, we must fight back by refusing to comply with changes to ANY words, phrases, grammar, newfangled euphemisms, or “media style book” diktat.
People don’t have “genders”. There is no such thing as a “cis-gendered person” or a “transgender” or “transsexual” “Black” isn’t the name of a nationality and doesn’t get capitalized . Neither does “white”. There is no such thing as “people of color” aka “POC”. There is no such thing as “Latinx”. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Yes. Ask a politician seeking your vote;
“WHAT is a woman?”
If they act confused about the question, they get -100 points, but you can illucidate;
“WOMANS sports, Womens bathroom, so WHAT is a Woman? What qualifications and limitations should detirmine who competes in WOMANS sports, or uses a WOMANS restroom?
Tells you all you need to know, about voting for them or not.
I thought there were 2 genders … male and female?
Dat’s racist!
Two sexes. The word “gender” is used when studying languages – masculine, feminine, neuter. It is amazing how the sheep just start using new words without a thought as to whether the usage is correct or not. It makes me crazy!
.
There are THREE genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
There are two SEXES: male and female.
“Gender” is not a synonym for “sex”.
dna confirms 2 sexes
Part of the solution is seizing the power from Multi-National Corporations overseeing conglomerate Media that control the narratives to which such language inventions are normalized. Once Mass media can be defeated in a fair and open free market, the CNN’s and the MSNBC’s of the world simply crash and burn on their own petards. Big Tech plays a role in that dynamic also and can not be overstated the importance of neutering their power to the point that there has to be some sort of mechanism or deterrent for their obvious overreach and violations. Once they venture into the arena of policitcs then I think they should be fair game. Hunting season for Big Tech is my next sport that I want to advocate and I can’t wait for such opportunities.
The only way to defeat the MSM is to develope an alternative. The shakers and movers like their propaganda.
Look at all the companies listed on the various stock exchanges an you’ll see three investment firms, among many, that own large blocks of their stock: BlackRock ($10 trillion in assets managed, up by over a trillion from the last time I looked), State Street Global Advisors ($4 trillion), and Vanguard Group($7 trillion).You’ll find they also own shares in each other. The Vanguard Group is private so I don’t know if the other two own part of them.
The aggregate US market value is $48.5 trillion. They are major players with lots of clout.
BlackRock CEO Larry Finks, who has embedded his daughter and other Blackrock executives into the FJB regime, sits on the World Economic Forum’s Board of Trustees, as well as the board of the Council of Foreign Relations. He is one of the reason you see a social responsibility score listed by practically every corporation.

Larry is the poster boy for the multinational and Wallstreet interests working against Main Street so often mentioned by Sundance.
The tyranny is all about money and power.
Blackrock is heavily invested in green energy stocks and pumps the climate change hoax!
We have officially entered Bizarro World.
You noticed that?
The Freedom Convoy has this down. I hope the rest of the world does soon.
Unfortunately, the Freedom Convoy might be in a stagnant state. This could change of course by unforeseen strategies.
It was inevitable that the major blockages were going to be re-opened. Leaving major trade routes closed is encouraging anarchy even if it is a good cause. Even the 1st nation aboriginals would not be left alone for long by Canadian Liberals. Closing off the supply chain for long would rile more Canadians in favor of a harsh Trudeau or provincial response on the protesters instead of adding support.
The Freedom Convoy leaders in Ottawa have negotiated with the mayor and agreed to remove all trucks from residential areas in the City and arrests at some border points seem to be thinning out the ranks. After these “residentially parked” trucks are voluntarily removed, the police will likely begin arresting the truckers in downtown Ottawa.
Trudeau’s continued inflammatory rhetoric condemning the protesters was proof that he would never compromise. The lack of sustained pressure on Trudeau by the Fed Conservatives helped Trudeau as did the harsh crackdown by the Ontario “Conservative” Premier.
Trudeau could have encouraged the “Chief Public Health Officer of Canada” to announce changes to the COVID policies that are based on today’s science and the actions of other jurisdictions. But defeating and humiliating the protest was always his goal.
Some of Trudeau’s supporters are angry with his alleged “weak response” instead of dealing more harshly with the blockades. How many actually agree with this is unknown.
Ocelot said:
“The Freedom Convoy leaders in Ottawa have negotiated …”
This is now known to be a false flag, and no such negotiation was done
The counter protestors spread fake letters suposedly a letter from Tamara Lich, the organizer that a deal was struck.
Thanks for the contradictory reply. We need the truth.
It appears to me that the Freedom Convoy leadership is a disparate group. There are militant truckers like Pat above and non truckers like Tamara that both want to win this fight. But there are conflicting statements emanating from the leadership that are not necessarily false flags. Colton is a CTV reporter.
It appears some were discussing the removal of “residential trucks.” It appears now that they are all on the same page or not. I’m not sure.
My 1st post has been moderated for some time so it might never appear tonight so I will make another attempt to respond to Interested Patriot.
My comment wasn’t a false flag. The confusion in messaging seems to be caused by a disparate leadership in the Convoy. Tamara’s last tweet on the subject is confusing as the replies to her tweet indicate.
It appears somebody was discussing the removal of “residential trucks” but its not certain if any trucks will be removed in “residential areas.” Initial organizer Tamara indicates some trucks will move.
Maybe Tamara’s Twitter site was hacked to create confusion and dissension and she’s just getting some well deserved shut eye and hasn’t yet noticed.
Either way, the anti Convoy forces are in full throttle as GiveSendGo’s site is out “temporarily” again and was apparently hacked. The entire Convoy Donor list has also been released to the public according to doxing Twitter or internet sites linking to it. I won’t link to them.
Maybe, maybe, maybe…
It’s very easy. Just leave the blimpin trucks parked until both Pat and Tamara walk up to you personally
and tell you to move it.
You have to have a chain of authority and not one single person that can authorize something.
Also a letter is kind of weak.. You have no way to authenticate that letter.. SMH
A tweet … is even worse. If one believes Twitter as a source of information in this day and age the person has not been given the most basic “who can I trust?” information package.
Then if its not authenticated the truck moves nowhere. Worst case a cat is going to have to do another scare poop when the truck blows its horn in the wrong place. A small price to pay for freedom
On the Twitter thought, it does amaze me to some extent. The organizers are on facebook as well. It just like building a tent behind enemy lines and then be suprised if the Germans make off with your steak..
Just want to add 1 other important thought:
People should realize there is a war going on and it is an information warfare
Information is leaked, and information is maligned, and information is spread to cause chaos and confusion and misdirection.
There is a rather naïve use of Facebook and Twitter by some of the Convoy organizers.
I cannot blame them as it is a behavior that people have slumbered into over the last decade or so. People need to be hyper-aware of their information.
It is already shown, information on those mediums itself can and will be used against people with target of confusion, splitting, sow discord, anger…
The BLM/Antifa/Canadian Intel is going to love my “note” I attached to my donation about overturning the de facto sharia anti-blashphemy M-103 Law they stupidly passed a few years ago authored by a Pakistani immigrant LADY parliamentarian. I am just glad she can never have an orgasm due to her rigid beliefs (FGM included).
Where’s Trudo? Look very closely at the left bottom corner…

Smith’s Law – Whosoever cries racism or bigotry first loses the argument–because he has none.
MSNBC asked if the word “patriot” was hate speech.
French police are fining demonstrators carrying French flags 135 Euros.
Canadian media labels “Freedom” racist.
It tells me absolutely all I need to know of those who stand in our to having freedom, liberty and being patriotic.
If they do not identify with freedom, a citizen carrying their country’s flag and being called a patriot then they have outed themselves fully as the tyrants they are.
That seems very One-Worldish for the French to be fining their own citizens for carrying their nation’s flag!
Doesn’t it though?
It gives you an idea of how shockingly insane this whole thing has become.
You may have seen the video of the teacher using “The Farmer and the Dell” with words changed to indoctrinate kids to wear masks. “We keep our parents safe” was one of the lines.
I want to rewrite “The Wheels on the Bus”, lol.
The wheels on their buses are falling off, falling off, falling off.
The wheels on their buses are falling off,
all over the world.
The tyrants in charge are making stuff up, making stuff up, making stuff up.
The tyrants in charge are making stuff up
and the truth is coming out.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE : Regarding GiveSendGo donations ***
To all people who donated to Givesendgo to the Freedom Convoy 2022
GiveSendGo has leaked private information for donations and today a file with donators information was briefly available for download. The trucker convoy page temporarily re-directed to another site on the Internet where that leaked info was available for download in text format. This file contained 10 thousands of lines with donation information.
Since this file was downloadable on that re-directed website, we can assume it is on the public Internet now available to leftist trolls and whomever else.
I was informed that this information seems to be accurate. Leaked information is e-mail address, postal code, the donated amount, the de-anonimzed names, the donation comment and some other fields. No IP addresses seem to be leaked.
You will probably want to re-cycle your email address, change the e-mail address on your creditcard. Change your e-mail address on your linked in profile, make your linkedin profile private.
If this has been mentioned I apologize
I read earlier that Give Send Go was hacked. Why are YOU saying Give Send Go “leaked” personal info? I can see why the left would want us to think the worst of GiveSendGo…
Well I am not saying they did it on purpose but a file with donations does not author itself and magically appear. That information was between GSG and the donator and apparently someone else got hold of it, somehow.
So couple of things that could still have happened, perhaps a flaw in their website (an website endpoint that returned more information than it should?) or a internal leak in the company. (A bad actor?)
Somehow the donation information ended up briefly on a file on the Internet with donations made.
That is all for later explanation, but if you have made a donation you should be aware of this and take appropriate action.
Maybe they can get CrowdStrike on this and nail those pesky Russians.
Contact Hillary Clinton and Marc Elias for rapid response contact numbers.
/s
I’m sure the full weight on our governmental assistance Turdeau is being thrown at GiveSendGo.
Well if information gets out like this it is damaging. Maybe that is the game, people might sue GSG for leaking Personal Identifiable Data and that could be the end of the company. Might be planned.
It is information warfare so in one sense we should not be surprised.
Goes to show the value of crypto. If you want to remain an anonymous donor you could donate in Monero.
I know a lot of people that believe in crypto. A dear friend told me she bought a few when it started. She sold one when it was at $70k.
It just feels wrong to me, too close to “you’ll own nothing”.
Even with crypto as payment you have to be cognizant what Coin you use, as some are more private than others. And some are just thrash coins that will go to 0.
Benefit of crypto are not controlled by banks or government (unless it is a CBDC) so the payment cannot be stopped or frozen.
However bitcoin given enough effort — if they really want to — its wallet address can be tracked back to an individual. At expense of great amount of resources. However, some coins are privacy first and were designed with this, and can never be tracked back. Its technologically impossible with these coins. Nothing stopping for converting X amount of fiat into Monero and then donating Monero… You will not hold it long enough for it to lose a lot of value, just as a transfer mechanism
I really think this is gonna take awhile. The Canadian govt is going to go thru all SORTS of games, like children not wanting to eat their vegetables, before they finally are forced to meet the Truckers reasonable demands.
Part of the problem is the same one the elites had with PDJT; they really believed their own narrative, that he was an idiot.
These Politicians just can’t adjust their view of those who actually work for a living as being far smarter than the Politicians.
Sundance MAY end up with a standard, daily thread on the Truckers,..although at some point the ‘action’ may move beneath the surface.
Wheres Ted Coppel? “Day 329 of the Truckers Convoy, and,…there STILL there!”
Ah yes, Ted, Jimmy Carter and the birth of “Nightline”, late night news.
“I really think this is gonna take awhile.”
Yeah. No surprise. None of this stops overnight. Enjoy the small victories every now & again, but, they ainna gonna stop. Period. Eventually we’ll win. Unfortunately, ‘eventually’ might be many years/decades away.
They are relentless, if nothing else. None of us should ever forget this.
Keep pushing. Keep holding the Commie Bastards accountable; even (moreso?) down here at the Peon Level. Never give up. “We” can be relentless also. Yes? Yes.
Freedom used by far right extremists according to ” experts”. Made up experts.
Ok. Change the rallying cry to …….No more Communist mandates…..No more Communist oppression….Down with Marxist Trudeau….. Forced vaccinations is what Commies do….. or whatever sounds good or catchy
I’m good with end tyranny, restore liberty.
Dutchman has an excellent point about not giving up the word freedom.
It’s ours, it belongs to us.
These days, everyone is an expert.
Now I’m confused. How racist and far-right was it when Kamala Harris claimed she wanted “Fweedom”?
The racist convoy waves Confederate flags, Nazi flags, mocks native culture (yabba dabba doo), attacks racial minorities in Ottawa, openly supports ‘Muslim Ban’ Trump, shares population replacement and other crazy conspiracies. Plus the fact it’s 99% white doesn’t help. Oh, where is the support for freedom for the Muslim teacher fired in Quebec for wearing a hijab from this crowd???
Face it, it’s a white Christian nationalist antidemocratic fascist convoy at heart?
GS Did you forget to indicate sarcasm?
That was hilarious! Good example of “making stuff up.”
The cure for this language twisting is relentless ridicule. Carry on!
Oh the memes you will meme!
Not just Canada.
The hopes for Freedom are far bleaker in the US of A.
And will remain so as long as the bad actors behind the Clown Puppet Theater in DC are allowed to steal elections.
” Remember, political protests the leftists do not support are called violence; and the political violence the leftists do support is called protest.”
If you think back a bit. you can trace the rise of overt, undisguised commie influence by how the official pronouncements started sounding more and more like 1984 and Animal Farm.
“Make 1984 fiction again.”
It just goes to show how everything on the Left is influenced by Satan. He is the greatest liar, and the grand manipulator.
Thanks CBC, you’ve just made Spring terms Orwell module much easier to teach!
“political protests the leftists do not support are called violence; and the political violence the leftists do support is called protest.”
It’s called Repressive Tolerance, and it was developed by Herbert Marcuse in the 60s, and the Woke movement is following his playbook.
The Ottawa mayor is publicly asking for terms. Very significant milestone, no matter the state media blather. Stay the course. The poor fascists are paralyzed and helpless, when they can’t gun people down. We have to be patient, while they slowly move.
time for the mayor to apply pressure to TPTB.
So is blackface, Justin
This won’t fly except with the 30% who are hard core Branch Covidians perhaps. I don’t believe that the majority of Canadians are going to buy this.
Just when I think that I couldn’t hate these people anymore than I do, they push me even further.
In world wars, a lot of decent God-fearing people died because of the actions of a very few inspired such hate of fellow man. However, the soldiers of the enemy make their choices and assume their roles with the free will God gave them. Their actions define who and what they are. That’s what I watch for, actions.
Wordsmithing is the time-honored tool of the intellectual manipulators who hide in the shadows. Once in awhile we get to hang them upside down and bleed them out. Not often though. Not nearly often enough. The destruction they cause to the fabric of civilization is incalculable.
I live how the tweet said that it was “experts” who said freedom was a word used by the far right. What kind of expertise does it take to discern such things? Who did the CBC call to get the far right word usage data?
Give me a break.
Rúghat fight freedom all The Way,
The activist corporate press no longer controls the narrative.
Someone attached to the truckers ought to print up a whole bunch of copies of the CBC article.
Could be distributed to use as toilet paper. Or posted in gas stations, truck stops, restrooms,
with
“This is what BULLSHIT looks like” posted above the headline.
THEN you make the copies.
