Reaction & Commentary
Time we’re living where there is a personal obligation for us to awaken together to stay focused to be responsible for the way we consume information and communicate and to remain open-hearted we’re going to be talking in a minute about the crazy actions of the Canadian government they froze bank accounts that were funding
The trucker protests but first I want to let you know that I’m on tour in the UK in the coming weeks I’m in Newcastle whole Sheffield Scarborough Bristol Plymouth there’s a link in the description if you want to come see me it’s a beautiful crazy experience it’s something you’ve got to participate in
If you can now let’s jump into this story because I think we’re beginning to understand how several issues are coalescing and co-aligning government power corporate Power Media deception this particular story of course pertains to the freezing of various funding sites that were in support of the trucker movement more clarity is emerging around
A series of decisions Canada recently made in an attempt to suppress a civil protest organized By Truckers now of course I know that you know what that is of course the mainstream Media or corporate media as I know many of you call them focused on the fact that there
Were elements etc etc but that was obviously being used to discredit the protests more broadly which was a populist movement and if we’re gonna have any hope in changing the world what’s it going to come from people acting independently and individually sending Tweets among those decisions was freezing their bank accounts another was
To block their access to donations on crowdfunding platforms we commented before in some of our videos that technology is fine when it’s you know IDs for everybody tracking everybody social credit scores but when ordinary people use technology to communicate to raise funds to oppose the will of the
Powerful that technology is shut down pretty fast privacy empowerment for them transparency and impotence for us to justify these moves Canada authorities invoke the emergencies act and anti-terrorism financing laws that’s pretty incendiary rhetoric I even as a young man was skeptical when language around terrorism was being used to malign and persecute minority
Communities in countries such as mine the UK when there were in a national Wars and the language of Terror was everywhere now that it’s obviously being mobilized against groups that are domestic which I suppose shows what some of my own bigotry prejudices and conditioning must be is even more
Evident that this is exploitative use of language to precipitate the exploitative use of power but now it’s official it was never about any sort of terrorism well there you go how often in the last couple of years even in the last couple of weeks have you seen stuff that was
Verboten forbidden to be said now just being openly said like you can see sketches on SNL where people were just going yeah no you don’t need to wear masks I’m just sort of laughing about it it’s a couple of weeks ago people send them Canadian trackers are terrible this
And Trudeau went on the news they’re misogynists they’re racist well let’s see what pictures emerging now a senior official with the federal government’s intelligence unit responsible for preventing the financing of terrorists and money laundering activities said the typical person who donated money to the freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa pose no
Security threat to Canada but what would he know he’s only a senior official with the federal government’s intelligence unit responsible for preventing the financing of terrorists and money laundering this is probably just an obvi for him like if that guy whose old job is looking good well no it doesn’t seem
Like there’s any threat there was no threat was there oh what other theories spring of mind uh well whenever there’s dissent people are labeled terrorists so you can shut down that dissent and discredit it in order that you can maintain hegemonic power and prevent the system ever changing oh I don’t know if
That theory out anymore you must be a conspiracy theorist well let’s ask a senior official with the federal government see what conspiracy theorist is in the words of Barry McKillip Deputy Direct director of financial transactions and reports analysis Center fintrack who spoke before Canada’s House of Commons finance committee on Thursday
The money the organizers managed to raise was not only not cash that funded terrorism or was in any way money laundering it was simply a way for people living in what they thought was a democratic country believing was a safe way of expressing their position on an
Issue people living in what they thought was a democratic country believing was a safe way of expressing their position on an issue the only mistake they made was believing they were in a democratic country that is what they did wrong they weren’t terrorists they weren’t money launderers they were ordinary Canadian
People who made the mistake of thinking they were living in a democracy I hope you won’t make that mistake again if you don’t know now you know these citizens subsequently evidently treated by their government as potential terrorists and money launderers were in fact fed up with covid and were upset that and just
Wanted to support the cause as McKillip phrased it how many times do you need to see this stuff go down now how many times do you want to hear people that were doubtful agitated and confused about mandates and policies around vaccination expressing the doubts people that work in medicine people that work
In hospitals that have concerns and don’t want to be steamrolled in at action by a propagandist media and a Centrist government how many times do you want to see people talking about someone who had the temerity to vote for Donald Trump who I personally you know
And I know a lot of you would I wouldn’t vote for how many times have you seen them condemned as terrorists and idiots and morons do you think that might irritate people a little bit do you think they might make people think that they can’t trust the media and if you
Don’t think that the language is enough see what happens when you start freezing their bank accounts because they support something that you disagree with anyway let’s have a look at Barry McKillip for all we know he could be some whacked out conspiracy theorist nut job let’s have a
Look at him and see what he says for himself so we can get eyes on him certainly there were people who supported the cause well firstly he’s got a stupid voice before it was declared illegal so I think that there were people around the world who were fed up with covert who were
Upset and saw the demonstrations against Corvette and I believe that they just wanted to support the cause that’s what I would assume isn’t it you if there’s like a GoFundMe page saying we’re truckers we’re against the mandates although not vaccinations themselves 90 of us are vaccinated but the mandates we think is
A bit of a bridge too far we’re going to do a protest we need some funding if people fund that I don’t usually go oh my God you’re a terrorist and if I do think that what that shows you is that I have a Prejudice and a confirmation bias
That I have a requirement to offer that adjudication because it suits my end it was their money their own money you know when years ago proper conspiracy theorists people that just aren’t even allowed on the internet anymore used to say you’re the only Freedom you have is freedom to operate
Within very narrow parameters and if you try to push against those parameters you’ll see how much Freedom you’ve got well we’re now starting to see that they were actually right about a lot of things because now even something as sancro sank is your Financial Freedom
Your ability to go oh I’ve got a job I’ve earned this money I might go out and spend it on some booze only a certain amount of booze bad for you might get some facts own a certain amount of facts might be better might support their protests you’re a [ __ ]
Terrorist so it wasn’t uh uh money that funded terrorism or that was in any way money laundering so there he is in his own well not quite his own words because it’s clearly a female translator the kill have added that if a minority of the roughly hundred thousand donors who
Contribute about 10 million dollars to the calls through crowdfunding were right-wing extremists wanting to topple the Trudeau government they show is the wrong way to do it yeah if you are trying to topple government don’t give money a GoFundMe like right we’re going to top of the government okay what are
You gonna do then we thought we might donate some money to a wildlife sanctuary on GoFundMe that’s because there are many other ways that are probably easier to use to launder money or collect funds to finance terrorist activities in testimony before the commons finance committee Thursday McKillip was
Responding to a question by liberal MP Sophie chattelle she expressed fears that foreigners and far-right groups had used crowdfunding in the freedom Convoy to cause billions of dollars of damage to the Canadian economy through such activities as blockading the Winds of Detroit Ambassador Bridge a major trade route I’m frightened I’m frightened
We’re all victims there could be terrorists and foreigners I thought like I mean we’re not meant to say stuff about foreigners these are bad foreigners and these foreigners they could be doing anything anything well your man mcgillip whose job it is to spot such Fritz scissor one yeah but I’m
Still frightened I’ve had another hunch Justin there could be a terrorist everywhere shut down everybody’s bank account the only way for us to be completely safe is to shut everyone’s bank accounts and if I just sit perfectly still forever well it is a lot to ask I’ll do it
So if it’s genuine fears and these people are nervous wrecks who don’t belong in government or it’s rhetoric in order to expedite a course of action that is convenient to their imperatives McKillip also said these acts of support happened before Canada outlawed them so at the time they did it it wasn’t
Illegal that’s like arrested someone excuse me if you smoked in a restaurant no it’s illegal yeah but when it was legal oh yeah this smoking restaurants then right you’re under arrest I don’t mean it wasn’t illegal then never mind too late terrorists why did Canada even Outlaw this though Canada’s Minister of
Finance and Deputy PM Christian Freeland pretty much spelled it out it was all about convincing those donating to the cause to listen to reason we’re just gonna have to permanently freeze bank accounts we’re just gonna have to ask you to listen to reason these people have the appurtenances and apparel of
The vulnerable the language of caring and compassion but the actions of tyranny the bank accounts of Sam Freedom Convoy supports are still frozen they’re still not remedied it that if the truckers have gone home no one’s even talking about coronavirus and mandates anymore the Carnival’s moved on these
Poor Baggers can’t order it just eat yet the freezing of these accounts was announced the same day prime minister Justin Trudeau invoked the emergencies act and even though the emergencies Act is now lifted some accounts remain Frozen that’s ridiculous that’s ridiculous I don’t want to see that dude
On the TV talking about anything else until they’ve sorted out a bank account to their own citizens that they wrongfully and lawlessly shut down or if it was lawful it’s because they’ve changed the law to make it lawful Deputy Prime Minister Christian Freelander said that some Financial aspects of the
Emergencies act would become permanent of course we did a video on that last week and just a reminder of how Justin Trudeau speaks about freedom and protest when it doesn’t cost him personally this is from December 2020. Mr Trudeau shy did India for its police response to
Farmers blockades of Delhi let me remind you he said possibly combing his Air Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest when it’s suits him oh Freedom we support the right to protest as long as it doesn’t affect me personally then we’ll freeze
Your bank accounts so we can now see that rhetoric was used that was inappropriate measures were taken that’s unprecedented unless you include actions in the United States around Wikileaks which we talked about in another video the language that was used the descriptions that were deployed were
Done exactly as we explained to you at the time in order to facilitate actions that would shut down dissent in order to create a political stasis in order to shut down popular Uprising in order to prevent us you we Ordinary People from creating movements where we say hey I
Don’t like the way this is going this is meant to be a democracy remember what our man said the only mistake those Canadians made was believing that they were in a democracy how long can we continue to make these mistakes how long before we start to demand genuine
Democracy from our governments how long before we insist on on coming together conglomerating in power to insist on Real Change new systems of government localized empowered democracy where your own lives are controlled by you where your communities are controlled by you where your schools hospitals working
Lives are controlled by you is that the world you want to live in let me know in the comments below I’d love to hear what you think give this video a thumbs up subscribe to it if you enjoyed this video have a look at this one or this
