Police horses trample demonstrators at Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa By
Joe Warmington | 18 Feb 2022 | Turns out the lasting image of the
Freedom Convoy protest at Parliament Hill will not be bouncy castles but
that of a woman with a walker being trampled by a police horse. The
violence the Prime Minister has expressed concern about during the
three-week protest in Ottawa didn't unfold until Justin Trudeau's
Emergencies Act police army was sent in to disperse the crowd. The three
major incidents Friday, under a form of martial law, were grotesque.
Video of Toronto Police Mounted Unit officers charging into the crowd
and at least one horse trampling multiple people -- including an elderly
woman with a walker -- was disturbing. But that was not the only
troubling incident. Another saw a protester behind a police line
repeatedly being smashed with an officer's rifle.
And convoy organizer Benjamin Dichter also told the Toronto Sun "one of
drivers had his truck windows smashed by Ottawa Police (with) guns
drawn and (he was) dragged out of his vehicle by force.”
Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich arrested by Canadian police | 17 Feb 2022 | Canadian "Freedom Convoy" leader Tamara Lich has been arrested by police in Ottawa, according to online reports. CBC News reporter David Cochrane wrote in a tweet:
"Convoy organizer Tamara Lich was arrested Thursday evening by Ottawa
police and also remains in police custody. Both she and Chris Barber -
who was arrested earlier - are expected to be charged criminally,
according to sources." A clip showing Lich being detained by Ottawa
police was also shared on social media by an account which is seemingly
associated with the convoy.
Canadian clergy rebuke Trudeau for invoking Emergencies Act, other 'tyrannical actions' | 18 Feb 2022 | A group of Canadian clergy sent an open letter to
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week rebuking him
for invoking the Emergencies Act to quell the Freedom Convoy and for
other actions they described as "tyrannical." "We are writing to you as
representative pastors of Christian congregations from across the nation
and as law-abiding citizens who respect the God-defined role of civil
government and uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the
highest law of our land, which recognizes the supremacy of God over all
human legislation," read the letter, which was signed by 29 clergymen
and remains open for other Canadians to sign.
American truckers plan convoy to DC in protest of COVID-19 mandates --The move comes as Canadian truckers continue to protest COVID mandates in their country |
17 Feb 2022 | Taking a cue from truckers bordering America's north, a
political action committee will partner with truck convoys to protest
what it deems as overreaching government COVID-19 restrictions and
mandates. The Great American Patriot Project on Wednesday asked volunteers to
contribute, join or support a convoy of truckers slated to travel to
Washington D.C. next month. Routes for the convoys will start in
Cleveland, Columbus, Ohio and Fresno, California and will end on March 6
in Washington. They will be met by a congressional welcome committee to
discuss policy changes, organizers said.
New Zealand Threatens to Use Military Against Civilian Anti-Mandate Protesters --"[The] four army vehicles travelled to Wellington from Linton and Waiouru on Wednesday," according to Stuff. | 17 Feb 2022 | The New Zealand Defense Force (NZDF) warned Wednesday
it was poised to deploy "Defence Force assets" to Wellington to disband
an anti-coronavirus vaccine mandate protest near New Zealand's
parliament building after the rally pushed into its ninth consecutive
day. "An NZDF spokeswoman said discussions on the possible deployment of
Defence Force assets remain ongoing, and no decisions have been made,"
New Zealand's Stuff news site reported on February 16... The New Zealand
Police issued an ultimatum to anti-vaccine mandate protesters gathered outside New Zealand’s parliament building on February 15 warning them
to move their motor vehicles -- many of which are blocking roads around
the legislative center as part of the demonstration -- or face the
towing and seizure of their automobiles. The rally's participants
largely ignored this demand by the police force -- which is controlled
by New Zealand's federal government -- and continued to gather by the
hundreds near the parliament building's grounds on February 16.
United States Truckers' Support Group Makes Trip to Canadian Border With Supplies --"Boots-on-the-Ground Support for Canada's Freedom Fighters" By Cat McGuire | 14 Feb 2022 | This past weekend, Convoy to Save America (CTSA),
a new group formed to peacefully support the Canadian truckers and the
Canadian people, sent two convoys to the U.S.-Canadian border at the
Peace Bridge in Buffalo, NY. CTSA brought supplies for the Canadian
truckers and peacefully assembled with other groups from around New York
to support the convoys, protest the lockdowns, and celebrate freedom.
On both Saturday and Sunday, a 13-mile "slow roll" convoy that started
in Tonawanda, NY, drove into Buffalo past government buildings, and
ended at Pat Sole Park in Buffalo across from the Peace Bridge. At the
park were spirited rallies with speakers, music, and cries of "We will
not comply!”
Woke Capitalism is a Monopoly Game By CLG Founder, Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D. | 13 Feb 2022 | (Opinion) In 2018, Ross Douthat of the New York Times introduced the
phrase "woke capital." Essentially, Douthat suggested that woke
capitalism works by substituting symbolic value for economic value.
Under woke capitalism, corporations offer workers rhetorical placebos
in lieu of costlier economic concessions, such as higher wages and
better benefits. The same gestures of wokeness also appease the liberal
political elite, promoting their agendas of identity politics, gender
pluralism, transgender rights, lax immigration standards, climate change
mitigation, and so on. In return, woke corporations hope to be spared
higher taxes, increased regulations, and antitrust legislation aimed at
monopolies. Although woke capitalism alienates cultural conservatives,
the Republican Party remains pro-corporate, making woke capitalism a
win-win strategy for corporations.
Sen. Ron Johnson Introduces Bill That Would Block Federal Agencies From Interfering With Doctors' Right to Treat Patients |
18 Feb 2022 | Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson introduced
legislation Wednesday that would block federal agencies from interfering
with doctors' rights to treat patients. The Daily Caller first obtained
the legislation which was cosponsored by Republican Indiana Sen. Mike
Braun and Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee. The bill is titled the "The
Right to Treat Act" and would make it so no federal agency would have
the authority to regulate the practice of medicine and that no federal
law, rule, regulation, or policy would restrict the distribution of FDA
approved drugs or a Right to Try dr-g. Many other countries have
experimented with other dr-gs to help prevent or treat COVID-19.
