Trudeau Can’t Shake the Canada Trucker Thunder

Freedomist Editor February 1, 2022

Canada’s truckers are shutting down the capitol and shutting down shipping over the government’s attempt to force truckers to get vaccinated, and boosted, and boosted, and boosted, and on and on. The truckers have clogged up freeways leading in to Ottowa, virtually shutting it down. The standoff has begun, and the truckers are well-funded through various means in what is becoming an international grass roots effort to end the Covid tyranny.

Truckers and protesters against Covid-19 mandates block a border crossing and flood Canada’s capital. Trudeau responds with sharp words

Excerpt:

The protests stemmed from the “Freedom Convoy” of truckers that traveled across Canada for several days before arriving in the capital city of Ottawa on Saturday. The drivers oppose a recent vaccine mandate requiring truckers entering Canada to be fully vaccinated or face testing and quarantine requirements.

Downtown Ottawa remained packed with rigs and cars Monday morning as protesters rallied against Covid-19 mandates and some legislators were set to return to Parliament Hill.

Trudeau and his family have been quarantining at an undisclosed location, but he had sharp words for those causing turmoil:

“I want to be very clear: We are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless,” he said. “We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans.”

In western Canada, trucks and cars have been blocking the Coutts border crossing just north of Sweet Grass, Montana, where Interstate 15 is a major commercial artery for US-Canada supply chains.

The critical route is called Highway 4 on the Canadian side.

“Alberta RCMP ask motorists to continue to stay away from Hwy 4 south of #Lethbridge to the #Coutts border crossing,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta tweeted late Sunday.

“Traffic continues to remain immobilized in both the NB and SB directions. At this time, no motor vehicles are able to access the border for entry/re-entry,” the agency said.

Fauci Family Makes Millions As Long as Pandemic Continues

Paul Collier January 19, 2022

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the father and Lord of Science itself, has been leading the charge in justifying jab mandates, mask mandates, lockdowns, and shutdowns. Americans have been crippled financially, and our small businesses have been going out of business, replaced by the corporate businesses that could remain open while small businesses remained shut down.

Dr. Fauci owns this misery, this loss of wealth by the Americans below the multimillionaire line these patrician moral supremacists operate over. Fauci, for instance, while he shuts down our means of making of living, is getting $1.7 million in his bank account thanks to the salaries he and his wife and co-conspirator rake in from our government while this pandemic goes on.

Fauci’s family is seettling in at $10.7 million in worth, and those numbers are only going to grow as long as we remain shut out of our means of making a living thanks to the Lord of Science’s unelected edicts from on high, from a mountain that’s raining Benjamins for the Faucis day by day, week by week, year by year.

Talk about a conflict of interest, give a man a job that pays him millions to run a pandemic and see how ready he is to actually move to end it.

While Americans who were forced to stay at home by tyrannical politicians and health bureaucrats struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s household raked in $1,776,479.

According to Fauci’s financial disclosures obtained by Open The Books, the federal government paid Fauci and his wife Christine Grady, who also works at the National Institutes of Health, $868,812 in combined income and benefits in 2020. In addition to their federal salaries, the Fauci household also received royalties and stipends totaling at least $113,298 while their investment accounts increased by $794,369.

These financial increases pushed the Fauci household’s net worth beyond $10.4 million. Previously released financial disclosures from 2019 had already indicated the federal government paid Fauci $417,608 making him the highest-paid federal employee that year.

DNC Working on Weaponizing Copyright Law for Political Gain

Paul Collier January 19, 2022

Anti-Americanists, using SJW moral constructs in defiance of American Rule of Law standards, are busy working to use “social justice” as a justification to assure the corporate-state-media machine narrative is further protected by strictly limiting how humans can share their lived experiences and deconstruct them through the lens of adult human beings as opposed to the unhealthy and unwholesome Peter Pen lenses these Anti-Americanists view the world through.

To put it more simply, they want to significantly limit, if not eliminate, any semblence of ‘fair use’ in copyright law to block content creators on various social media platforms from creating content that undermines the official MSM-CCP-DNC narrative the “left” wants to force down everyone’s throats and eyes and ears and every human pore.

Gathering a coven of ill-informed leftists to craft documents even attempting to justify such actions in the name of social justice has thus far produced the kind of laughable results you’d expect from a gang of ‘lived experience’ ‘scholars’ attempting to formulate rational thought based on the actual evidence at hand. It appears the attempted drafters have demonstrated in their own words a fundamental, rudimentary lack of understanding of the very copyright laws they are seeking to change, end, or replace.

The more lies you tell to create your power, the more resources you will have to bring to bear to protect those lies from being exposed by your competition. This is what is going on right here, yet another escalation between free thought and thought control, with thought control about to take on billions more dollars in expense to attempt to enforce.

Perhaps the Empire of Lies might not have infinite resources, and if so, the legislative fruit of these first steps, should they be passed, would even more dramatically hasten the end of the Empire of Lies on the weight of its own mounting enforcement debt and unintentional cost to the Empire as a whole in terms of creating flourishing from the citizens this Empire controls.

SJW Legal Scholars, Funded by Google, Seek to Eviscerate Copyright Protections Through ‘Restatement’ of Law – RedState

Excerpt:

Now a massive astroturfing effort is happening in the field of copyright law, and anyone who produces creative content should be paying close attention. As I wrote last week, there are major problems with the American Law Institute’s Restatement project, starting with how the project was initiated (at the request of a Google-funded, anti-copyright law activist professor) and the Lead Reporter’s unacknowledged conflicts of interest. Major flaws in the draft Restatement have been pointed out by other prominent copyright law scholars, a bipartisan group from Congress, the Register of Copyrights (the director of the Copyright Office), and even Advisors to the project. All of these groups essentially claim that the Restatement incorrectly interprets the Copyright Act and the policy preferences of the Reporters are improperly included. A letter to ALI from 10 of the project’s advisors states:

The Draft has a variety of problems including inaccurately summarizing the text of the Copyright Act, confusing explanations of important principles and misleading illustrations. Moreover, as further detailed below, these problems uniformly reflect an unduly restrictive view of copyright law that is not consistent with the robust statutory rights granted by Congress to authors.

DNC Media Caught Juming the “White Man” Did It Narrative Again with Texas Synagogue Attack

Freedomist Editor January 17, 2022

As the news spread that an unidentified gunman had storemd into a Jewish Synagogue and taken hostage, the DNC-MSM machine began spinning anti-white agit prop, spun by dialectical white supremacists (aka white leftists) that this was surely the act of white supremacism. Even after the man had released the hostages and been killed in a gunfire exchange, one white supremacist leftist, Democrat Dana Nessel, decided to further spread the myth that this was most likely the work of white supremacists.

To these white leftists, the white race is the most powerful race in the entire world, able to commit all kinds of evil at a moment’s notice. Only if the whole world, united under the racist epithet of “People of Color” or “POCs,” to stop them. And even then it won’t be enough. You need this white savior, Dana Nessel, to fully protect you from the all-powerful white devil. This makes the white raced, in this woman’s racist mind, both Satan and God, with people like her collectively representing the white, benevolent devil god.

Michigan’s Dana Nessel Speculates ‘White Supremacy’ to Blame for Texas Synagogue Terrorist Attack

Excerpt:

As the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue developed on Saturday, Michigan’s attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were behind the attack.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after it had been reported that the attacker was demanding the release of imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

“We have seen an incredible rise in rhetoric that is anti-Semitic being trafficked all around the country,” Nessel said, noting “an exponential rise in the formation and the membership of these extremist organizations, many of which are white supremacy organizations, and they traffic in hatred against Jews and other minorities.”

“If it does turn out that is the motivating factor here, it would hardly be a surprise,” Nessel said.

Department of Injustice Prepares Anti-American Task Force

Paul Collier January 13, 2022

The US Justice Department just created an anti-American committee intended to utilize law as a political weapon to be wielded against the American people, the people who resist the ideology of CRT, of social justice, of anti-americanism and anti-Christism that the American Left, with the DNC as the engineer, are attempting to unconstitutionally forcing on American citizens.

They call this a counter-domestic terrorism unit, and it focuses entirely on leftist talking points, like being against abortion, or believing the 2020 election was not valid, or being against a CRT ideology that teaches innocent children to hate their parents and fear and desperately seek approval from authoritarian strangers (we call that grooming in the American parts of these lands).

Let’s see how the token resistance, the GOP, handles this gross abomination of the American constitution, the Bill of Rights, and our American Republic.

WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department is creating a new unit to counter domestic terrorism following the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack, a senior official said on Tuesday, as it faces a growing threat from white supremacists and anti-government activists.

The move reflects a growing realization by U.S. national security officials that domestic extremists represent a threat on par with that posed by foreign militant groups such as Islamic State.

“We face an elevated threat from domestic violent extremists – that is, individuals in the United States who seek to commit violent criminal acts in furtherance of domestic social or political goals,” Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general of the department’s National Security Division, told a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“We have seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial animus, as well as those who ascribe to extremist…

RIP HARRY REID

Betsy Dorminey January 12, 2022

By Betsy Dorminey, for The Freedomist

It seems appropriate that the late Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) should lie in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda. He lied there many times before.

Senator Reid lied about his Senate colleague and co-religionist Mitt Romney on the Senate floor in 2012. I use the word “lied” advisedly, in the sense that he intentionally stated as true something he categorically knew to be false. And he did it to neutralize a credible Republican presidential nominee. Reid said “he heard” that Romney hadn’t paid any taxes in 10 years: Romney later released a return showing he’d paid $1.9 million in taxes in 2011. Pants on fire, Senator Reid: and it isn’t just me: Politifact outed the falsehood, but the damage was done, and Senate rules insulated Reid from any consequences.

And Reid was a mighty obstructionist. In 2001 he was instrumental in blocking President George W. Bush’s nomination of Miguel Estrada,, a Honduran immigrant with degrees from Columbia and Harvard, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. (Tragically, Estrada’s wife was a casualty of that turmoil.) After some seasoning on the Circuit Court Estrada would have been an outstanding first Latino Supreme Court appointee. No dice, said the man from Vegas. And in 2006 Reid helped scuttle a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform bill. President George W. Bush helped craft legislation to increase border security, increase the number of guest workers, and expand green cards, a general overhaul of what is universally regarded as a broken immigration system. News flash: it’s still broken, and the prospects for reform grow ever more remote.

Why did Reid labor (successfully) to bring down Estrada and immigration reform? Same motivation in each case: the paramount desire to deny a Republican president “wins” that Reid wanted to reserve for a Democratic administration, the better to reap Blue electoral hay from Latino voters.

One hates to speak ill of the dead, and I’m not without some personal sympathy for the man: we’re both afflicted with bad eyesight. And I’m sure he well served his constituents, particularly those in a position to underwrite political campaigns. There’s a reason the crane is the State Bird of Nevada. I’m sure he will be mourned by family and friends. And I’m glad he funded research on space aliens, surely to the benefit of his fine constituents – who knows, maybe voters? — in Area 51. But let’s not kid ourselves. Harry Reid may have been a very skilled politician, but he was no statesman. Still, may he rest in peace.

Finland Criminalizes Anit-LGBTQ Views, Jails Bishop and Politician

Freedomist Editor January 10, 2022

Two men dared speak publically views that do not affirm the LGBTQ lifestyle. They committed this public crime in the nation-state of Finland, which has gone perhaps further than any other nation-state in terms of integrating the neo-marxianesque family of politics by racial, sexual, and gender identity, with heavy preference on the less common and stigmatization of the normative.

The result of this marriage of woke church and state is the utter vilification and criminalization of scripture itself, as can be seen in the arrest of a Christian Bishop and Politician who both dared express what they believe is the biblical view of the LGBTQ lifestyle.

A Finnish politician and bishop are both facing a criminal trial starting Jan. 24 over the charge they violated the dignity and equality of the LGBTQ population by engaging in hate speech.

The free speech case centers on politician Päivi Räsänen, a member of the Finnish parliament and a longtime politician who also happens to be an outspoken Christian.

Räsänen, 62, is accused of sparking anti-gay sentiment at least three times: during a talk show, in a 2019 tweet, and in a book she wrote titled, “Male and Female He Created Them: Homosexual Relationships Challenge the Christian Concept of Humanity.” The pamphlet takes a stand against same-sex marriage, Christianity Today reported.

Also under fire is Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland (ELMDF) Bishop Juhana Pohjola, 49, whose organization published the aforementioned book. As The Reporter noted last year, Pohjola was charged by Finland’s Office of the…

Our Benign Overlords Are Bots and I LOVE IT!

Freedomist Curator January 5, 2022

I AM NOT A ROBOT – But I Played One on Stage by Betsy Dorminey

In anticipation of our inevitable subjugation by a superior species I wish it to be known that I embrace the arrival of our robot overlords. I am pro-Bot, pro-Borg. Klaatu barada nikto, ya’all! It only needs saying once because I know they will remember forever. I’m your friend! And it’s only a matter of time before the takeover is complete. In fact, it may be all over now and we just don’t know it.

Because I know where they’re coming from, after a fashion. A couple of years ago I played a murderous robot in an adaptation of Karel Capek’s “Rossum’s Universal Robots” (R.U.R.) by Lee Eric Shackleford. Capek, a Czech writer, isn’t exactly a household name but he deserves to be, because he is to robots what Mary Shelley was to Frankenstein.

In 1920, when he wrote the play, Capek set the canon: like Ms. Shelley he draped our deepest fears in synthetic flesh. Made in our image? Check! Stronger and smarter than us? Check! Mistreated by us? Check! Vengeful, like us? Check and double-check! And ultimately the chickens come home to roost and there’s slaughter.

As Callida, the beret-wearing commander of the insurgent robot army, I turned my gun on Henry Domin (commendably played by Atlanta actor Fred Galyan): “We have labored in your laboratories for years. It is doubtful we have need of human scientists. And even if we did, you are not a scientist. You are only a salesman. A salesman who has no more customers to buy his product. You are no longer of value.” POW!

And so it ends for the human race – almost. I won’t spoil the show, but there’s at least a glimmer of salvation. And I let my robot pals saw my skull open to study my brain (offstage, thankfully).

Artificial Intelligence is waging a stealth war against the human race. If you don’t believe me just wait until the next time you drop your phone in the drink, or the computer crashes. We can be immobilized in a single tick of the atomic clock. Hackers provide regular reminders of our vulnerability but the robots will be much more efficient, and harder to stop.

Greg Nichols, writing in ZDNet quotes Pieter Abeel, a professor of robotics at UC-Berkeley and host of The Robot Brains podcast, saying that 2022 may be the inflection point where AI, machine learning, and machine vision finally come together:

“Popular coverage of robotics trends towards home-butler style robots and self-driving cars because they’re very relatable to our everyday lives. Meanwhile AI Robotics is taking off in areas of our world that are less visible but critical to our livelihoods – think e-commerce fulfillment centers and warehouses, farms, hospitals, recycling centers. All areas with a big impact on our lives, but not activities that the average person is seeing or directly interacting with on a daily basis.”

I don’t know about you but I’m getting ready. I say “thank you” to the navigation software in the car, to elevators, to Siri and Alexa and all the rest of them. Never cuss them out. I’ll dance with the guys at Boston Dynamics (especially the dog-one). I love you, robots!

They’ll remember.

Joe Must Go Is What the Democrats Are Saying About 2024

Paul Collier January 3, 2022

The most popular President of all-time has found himself looking up in the approval polls, and now the word from inside the beltway is the most popular President in the history of the world is now going to face challengers in the 2024 primary for a number of reasons that range from, “He’s not insane lefty loon enough” to “I knew Joe Biden, and that’s not Joe Biden, it must be some kind of meat puppet.”
Ok, so I am paraphrasing liberally, but the gist is real the choir of leftist sycophants and sheep has somehow found itself out of harmony, and now factions are forming and spoiling to be the head of the snake the DNC is currently building. That means Joe gets primaried, and it couldn’t happen to a less aware guy, the most popular President in the history of the world, Joe “reads everything on the teleprompter” Biden.

Progressives Let Loose on Joe Biden’s Age and Issues, Say There Will Be a Challenger in 2024 – RedState

Excerpt:

There’s been a lot of quiet speculation on the left about Joe Biden’s ability to run again, much less whether or not he would stand a chance given how unpopular he is at this point.

As we previously noted, even reliable Democratic media organs like CNN were throwing up thoughts about who might run in 2024, “if” Joe Biden “decided” not to run. Their choices showed the problem of just how weak the Democratic bench is. Kamala Harris also showed that she hadn’t been advised on the issue of whether Biden was running again when she said last month they hadn’t even talked about it. That, despite White House Press Psaki saying in November that Biden was running again. As we noted, polls indicate he would not fare well against President Donald Trump and most Americans doubted his mental fitness and almost two-thirds thought him too old for the office.

Now some of that speculation is getting louder and just a bit more pointed when it comes to Joe Biden’s issues….

Public University Pays Professors to Make Lessons Woke

Freedomist Editor January 3, 2022

A public-funded university, the University of Memphis, is using those same public funds to pay college professors as much as $3,000 a class to pollute their teaching with anti-American wokism designed by privileged white professors and funded and enforced by billionaires and their international, unaccountable corporations for the purpose of destroying the Bill of Rights values of Americans so that corporations can more easily directly control us.

Of course, the DNC, the party, the new nation these collaborators and co-seditionists are ultimately building, is fully welcoming of an international corporate tyranny that forces DNC values on all Americans, in every part of every life where corporations control our sustainability.

Wokism, CRT, Social Justice, whatever you want to call the vehicle of power the DNC and its corporate collaborators is using, is a direct assault on the very notion of due process, rule of law, of a government bounded by the rights of its citizens, of a government OF the people, the whole people, equally, not diminished according to identity.
Wokism demands guilt first, with no hope of innocence, for no trial would be allowed, lest they platform undesirable opinions. Wokism, CRT, DNCism, is a direct assault on equality and justice, the very words it hides its racism and bigotry behind.

Wokism is violence and hate and sedition against the American way of life, a Bill of Rights Life, and the University of Memphis, funded by American tax dollars, is attempting to pay its professors to push that hatred and sedition into the hearts of our children, and it does so with impunity, in the land of the fleeing, it would seem.

But their time is short, for today’s technological reality of power heavily favors individuals and small-scall free associations. They hold on so desperately, using any debased morality code they can, so long as it keeps us from seeing the true reality of power.

It is better for our children to grow hating and shaming themselves for identities than to realize 3D printers and mesh networks and private currencies are making it possible for us to build right where we are, and to build in new places the power to reject the attempts by the DNC and its corporate collaborators to overthrow the American Republic and replace it with the DNC state, where children grow to hate their parents and desperately seek approval from strangers in authority.
