Another Canadian Blockade at Milk River

BY Herschel Smith
2 years, 3 months ago

Via NC Renegades.

It’s also my understanding that arrests have been made, and that Alberta provincial head Jason Kenney only feigned a positive response to the truckers.

Holding a press conference to make his announcement [Full Video Here], premier Kenney said, “We cannot remain at a heightened state of emergency forever. We have to begin to heal, and so Alberta will move on. But we’ll do so carefully, we’ll do so prudently, we will do so only if it does not threaten the capacity of our healthcare system.” Kenney then outlined some softening to the covid restrictions.

Provincial rules that require students to wear masks in Alberta schools will end on Monday, and children under 12 won’t have to wear masks anywhere starting then.

Kenney stated a provincial work-from-home order will expire on March 1, along with the provincial mask mandate.  At the same time, the limits on social gatherings and students being permitted to be in non-socially distanced proximity with other students in schools will be removed.

However, while Premier Kenny said the vaccine passports called ‘Restriction Exemption Program’ (REP) would be eliminated at midnight tonight, the QR codes check-in gates would continue; vaccine requirements will remain; vaccine discrimination can continue by private businesses with government support; govt healthcare workers must still be vaccinated or get fired; entertainment venues would be allowed to sell food & drinks again (but customers must be seated); and rules on closing times, alcohol service times, table capacity in restaurants, and social distancing would remain in place.

So the Coutts truckers pulled back into place and resumed the blockade.  Good.  Kenney has been told that the truckers are stupid.  This is good too.  There’s no more serious weakness that underestimating the resolve and smarts of your opponents.

In this following video, one trucker says that his “son has disowned him.”  Well, I believe we all have a volition and that we’re responsible for our own actions, and that no one can really control another man’s thoughts.

But this kid has been trained in the public schools his whole life (I would imagine) and then perhaps in state-run colleges.  His thinking is wrongheaded.  Unless his father did something truly sinful like abuse his mother, and that hasn’t been charged, he is in no position to disown anyone.  He’s got it exactly backwards.  Maybe he will grow up one day.

In the mean time, this is video from Milk River.  The movement grows.

Ottawa Police Ordered to Return Fuel – Returns Fuel Contaminated – Freedom Convoy 2022

So this is good.  It’s good because it once again demonstrates that the police are on the side of the globalists and will always and forever serve their globalist masters, and it will serve to convince the people that the police are not on their side.

This is actually extremely bad for the police.  Assuming, that is, the judge doesn’t hold them in contempt, in which case it goes from bad to worse.

Canada police warn of guns at trucker protest against vaccine mandate

BY Herschel Smith
2 years, 3 months ago

News (or not).

Police in Ottawa see signs that guns have been brought into a truckers’ protest against vaccine mandates that has paralysed the Canadian capital, the police chief said on Wednesday, adding that calling in the military would pose major risks.

“We have had an indication around firearms coming into this jurisdiction as part of this demonstration as much as a week and a half ago,” Chief Peter Sloly told a briefing.

He said there was evidence of “a significant element from the United States in the funding and organising” of the protest.

I see this as one of two things.  Either this is outright state propaganda (“guns,” “major risks”) to paralyze the people themselves over unfounded fears, or they in fact have indication of something about to happen, in which case it would definitely be funded and perpetrated by black hats.

I would bet my next paycheck there isn’t a single American in the bunch, not a single American dollar funding any of it.

My vote is going to bad, poorly crafted, obvious state propaganda designed for the purpose of turning people against the truckers.

I predict it won’t work.

Being As Wise As A Serpent

Via Ken, the towing companies don’t seem to be too willing to help the RCMP out very much.

Authorities searching for tow truck companies to assist in the removal of trucks from Coutts border blockade are coming up empty-handed.

According to local towing companies, requests have come in since Sunday for trucks to assist RCMP should they look to haul away trucks and other vehicles participating in the border blockade.

[ … ]

“We have created relationships in our community and contracts that would be in jeopardy if we participate in any way,” said a worker at the towing company who asked to remain anonymous to avoid any negative response to his company.

“A lot of these smaller companies don’t want to ruin their reputation in the communities they serve so they don’t want to get involved,” he said.

“We have received calls here to supply our trucks, but we’ve also had calls from locals who won’t identify themselves asking if we plan to send trucks. When I told them ‘no’ they said ‘good then we will keep supporting you.’”

Yes.  Remember boys and girls, you need to be in business when this is all over.

Following The Trucker Convoys

BY Herschel Smith

So an American version of what’s going on in Canada just across the border may be in its planning stages.  They started a group over Fakebook.

Funny, that.  I knew it wouldn’t last.  Sure enough, within hours, Fakebook shut them down.

So here’s the feel good story of the day.  Within hours of being shut out of Fakebook, they moved to Gab.  Just like that, in a matter of hours, Fakebook turned over that much traffic to Gab, free of charge.

That made it a good day.

Here’s the info from a note from Andrew Torba.

You can click here to find the American Freedom Convoy group on Gab.

You can follow the offical Trucker Convoy account here.

Finally you can join the Canadian Trucker Convoy group here which has coverage from people on the ground.

Finally, no one is actually doing reporting on the Canadian trucker business except Rebel News, the group mr. big hair hates so much.  By the way, have you noticed that mr. big hair looks bloated and fat now?

The Canadian Trucking Convoy

BY Herschel Smith

At WRSA, if you follow the links back to the source, Rebel News is covering the details.

These are committed folks, and two videos below show not only their commitment, but also their strength.  They turned to God in their time of need.

SWAT has been called on the Canadian truckers, and they’ve brought tow trucks with them because they’re cowards.

So here is my question (and readers can correct me if I’m wrong about this).  The truckers are primarily Canadian, and are on the Canadian side of the border.

Where are the American truckers?  If this collapses because of trucks being towed and truckers arrested and ticketed, it could continue if their American trucker colleagues showed the courtesy of having their backs and supporting them.

Where are the American truckers?

Where are the American truckers?

Where are the American truckers?

Good subjects of the king, we are here in America.  Or so it seems.

Trump Prediction

BY Herschel Smith
2 years, 3 months ago

News.

That long-stewing resentment burst into public view recently in a dispute over a seemingly unrelated topic: Covid policies. After Mr. DeSantis refused to reveal his full Covid vaccination history, the former president publicly acknowledged he had received a booster. Last week, he seemed to swipe at Mr. DeSantis by blasting as “gutless” politicians who dodge the question out of fear of blowback from vaccine skeptics.

Mr. DeSantis shot back on Friday, criticizing Mr. Trump’s early handling of the pandemic and saying he regretted not being more vocal in his complaints.

I have no idea if Trump will run again (I suspect he will) but that’s not what this prediction is about.

Trump is the one who put Fauci on the map by marching him out in front of the cameras every day to perpetrate his destruction of the economy.  Trump is also the one who pushed and took credit for the mRNA shots.

He’s too locked in to change now. He’s proud of what he did.  Even in spite of boos at rallies, he will continue to push the shots, he will continue to claim credit for them, and he’ll continue to engage in insults and name-calling against anyone who opposes him.

Thus will he lose his base.

Uncovering The Coverup Of The Las Vegas Mass Shooting

BY Herschel Smith

Mindy Robinson has done yeoman’s work on this.  Here are some deliverances (at least as far as I’m concerned).

There are multiple caliber weapons being shot at the same time.

Many of these are belt fed weapons and go far beyond what a 30-round magazine will hold.

There were shooters all over the city that fateful night.  Not one, not two, not three, not four.  There were shooters all over the city.

There were nefarious goings-on with air assets (along with fake aircraft identification).

There was a massive coverup.  Finally, agents of the Sheriff’s department were required to sign NDAs.

This is a long video, but if you want more questions asked than you will ever find answers for, this is necessary viewing.

I commend it to you.
