The triggering of an official invocation of the Canadian Emergency Measures Act to eliminate protests is stunning.  Using the Emergency Act to target individual citizens in Canada, and their bank accounts, is yet again another level of astonishing. RESOURCES:

♦ Emergency Act HERE ♦ Summary Justification of Act HERE

♦ Press Release HERE ♦ Finance Minister Statement HERE

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has announced their opposition to the government declaration:

I am carefully reviewing the details of the authorization because according to the public statements by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, they have authorized banks, financial institutions and insurance carriers to suspend the accounts of Canadian citizens based on their social media postings.

Yes, you read that correctly.   Support of “blockades and/or occupations” are specifically noted.

Anyone in Canada (individual or business) who supports or “furthers” the Freedom Convoy or Freedom Protest on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media platform, is a target to have their bank accounts frozen and insurance policies nullified.

Fox News Host Maria Bartiromo has been one of the key media figures who has taken the time to understand the granular details behind the government surveillance operation against Donald Trump.  Today she was fired up about the latest court pleadings from special counsel John Durham and she delivered a rousing introduction for her show. {Direct Rumble Link}  Enjoy:

When hardline leftists (fascists, communists, et al) are successful in advancing their political ideology, we always reach a point where all opposition must be silenced.  Dissent is a risk to the totalitarian state; that’s also why communists always ban religion.

Totalitarianism needs total control.  Free speech is antithetical to that control.  The natural evolution of any totalitarian state is to use the justification of security as a method for that control; hence, the U.S. received The Patriot Act, and all of the longer-term slippery slope consequences that are never fully discussed at the outset.  I digress.

So, here we are today – facing a U.S. Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), under the current control of the far left, stating that free speech is now the biggest domestic threat for terrorism.  Whereby the voices to target are those voices who might: “sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence.”

Undermine trust in government, as defined by anyone who does not blindly trust the policies from Biden administration, and you are now subject to be labeled a terrorist.

DHS Alert (Feb 7, 2022) – The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.

Keep in mind that a partnership between Trump Media Technology Group (TMTG) and Rumble was announced last December {LINK}.  Today Rumble steps into the social media and video hosting controversy with Joe Rogan and Spotify.

Spotify is the host for Joe Rogan’s podcast.  Spotify is under pressure to cancel Joe Rogan.  Today Rumble has offered Joe Rogan $100,000,000.00 over four years to switch platforms.

Last October Rumble bought out Dave Ruben’s Locals platform.  In November Rumble announced they were moving to Florida {LINK}.  A month later the Trump Media Group announced a partnership with Rumble.

Even with Joe Biden’s inflation, $100 million is a stunning amount of money and Rogan wouldn’t have to worry about being censored or cancelled.  Smart move by Rumble in getting all of the PR just from the offer.

Jumpin’ Ju-Ju Bones, we shall have to dust off the happy dance shoes.  The wrong thinking “fringe minority” have raised over $7.5 million [LINK] in support of their trucker Freedom Convoy.   The Canadian freedom movement is representing very well.

As the first wave of the convoy rolls into Ottawa, we start the update with the patriotic voice of fellow Canadian and friend of the Treehouse, Mark Steyn.

.

Thousands of Canadians have braved brutally cold weather to stand on the side of the roads and highways for hours while cheering on the convoy and providing food, drinks and supplies for the massive logistical effort.  It really is incredible to see the contagious cheers, flags, happiness and unifying smiles erupting after years of government doom, gloom and proclamations of the pending “winter of death.”

With horns a’ blaring, the leading edge of the massive truck and support convoy has started to arrive in Ottawa.   The capital city is not known as a residential metropolitan area, but the residents who do live there appear to be happy to see the Freedom Convoy arrive.   What a sight.

This is a very good thing.  A New York State Supreme Court has blocked the unilateral state-wide mask mandate of Governor Kathy Hochul and state Health Commissioner Basset.  The legal reasoning is very important.   NY Supreme Court Ruling HERE.

The authority of the New York governor and health commissioner, provided by the declaration of a state emergency, has expired.  With that expiration any/all mandates from the office are invalid; all requirements for public health -such as the mask mandate- MUST come from the legislative body.

According to the ruling, Judge Thomas Rademaker said that neither the governor nor the state health commissioner had the authority to enact the mandate without the state legislature, since the governor no longer has emergency powers. [full pdf here]

Earlier today Senator Ron Johnson held a roundtable hearing with some of the most prominent medical and scientific voices against the vaccination mandate.  The full 5-hour hearing video is available HERE on Rumble and posted below:

The hearing starts at 40:45 of the video:  “A group of world-renowned doctors and medical experts provide a different perspective on the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term.”

Devin Nunes appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his new position as CEO of Truth Social and the challenges of building an anti-fragile platform. {Direct Rumble Link}

Having spent the last 14 months deeply organizing and constructing what Nunes is describing, I can appreciate the scale of this effort his team is attempting to create.  Building technology platforms that are anti-fragile to Big Tech is not easy and is extremely expensive.

As Nunes notes, vetting the system partners and providers is a priority.  Each small component must be reviewed as a vector, a window into the larger network of systems that are created.  It’s not just a matter of an independent network of servers, it is also a system of server capacity to handle millions of simultaneous user engagements and billions of Ajax calls per second.  CTH is based on a much smaller scale version, and even at this level it is a very complex undertaking.  WATCH:

Nunes is hopeful that Truth Social will be live as an independent social media system sometime before the end of the first quarter.  It will be interesting to see how they handle user privacy, user data and access points for user engagement.

They will likely have to build out the majority of their infrastructure from scratch, and they will burn through a great deal of investment capital along the way.  Fortunately, there are people inside Big Tech who will align with the independent objective.

The political motives behind this FBI effort are, yet again, brutally transparent.   The FBI are for Joe Biden what the Russian FSB is for Vladimir Putin.  That’s what they are. That’s all they are. That’s what they do.

How many dozens of examples does it take before people realize the FBI are criminal enforcers targeting any voices who rise in opposition to the DC system?

Seriously, when is enough, enough?  This should be a bipartisan issue.

Democrat Representative Henry Cuellar represents Texas’ 28th Congressional District, which extends to the U.S.- Mexico border, and has been in Congress since 2005.  Cuellar has been very public and very critical of how Joe Biden has collapsed the U.S-Mexico border enforcement.  Suddenly, Cuellar becomes the target of the FBI.

TEXAS – Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar’s Laredo home and campaign office were the subject of FBI activity Wednesday evening, according to an FBI spokesperson.

“The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity,” FBI spokesperson Rosanne Hughes told ABC News. “The FBI cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation.”

Local news reports showed members of the FBI’s Evidence Response Team at Cuellar’s campaign office as well.  The FBI declined to provide specifics about the investigation. Local news reports say that boxes were seen being taken from the home. (read more)

The FBI is 100% exclusively a political targeting unit of the Dept of Justice.

There was always a soft-Stasi aspect to the FBI from its inception.  However, in the modern era, especially after the passage of the Patriot Act and then the weaponization objectives of Barack Obama and Eric Holder, as they took advantage of the opportunities within the Patriot Act, the FBI was modified to be full Stasi against the American people.

The majority of people in the U.K. have been very fortuitous in that their Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was caught in a scandal of partying with his cabinet while the COVID lockdowns were in place.

That weight of “party-gate” meant Johnson needed the support of the British people in order to remain in office. In order to get the support of the people, Johnson is now removing all government COVID restrictions upon them.

The COVID passports, mandated mask requirements – including in schools, and all of the government dictates surrounding COVID have been removed.

The British people are essentially free to live again.  WATCH:

.

A shift to commonsense, or just a politically necessary move that coincidentally helps the British people?  You decide.
