I'm glad she's okay. I pretty much knew the "no injuries" thing was horse shit. It's amazing she didn't actually die from that.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was at a police riot when the cops kettled and then charged people within that confined space. It really was a very menacing and frightening experience. Seeing young girls fading in and out of consciousness with limbs pointing 90 degrees at the wrong angle. Any illusions I had about the police were given up that day. In fact, the cops were raging and rabid. You could see their faces on horseback and they were clenching their jaws, eyes all beady just waiting to get stuck in. Proper nasty bastards who I have my suspicions were actually military and not police at all - some of them at least. They also looked like they were on drugs, amphetamine most probably. Just like the German soldiers on Pervitin. Though probably the krauts probably only took it to keep awake most the time.
World War II was not only the most destructive war in human history but also the most pharmacologically enhanced. It was literally sped up by speed

From 1939 to 1945, the Third Reich astonished Europe with its Blitzkrieg on all battlefronts. Its military efficiency has since then been a leitmotiv of history studies. This has been traditionally attributed to its technological superiority and optimisation, as well as its innovative strategies. In

These men looked like killers. They had no compunction over putting a few hundred people in a confined space and then running over them with horses. Of course people were seriously injured. I knew some bad shit was going to go down when I saw their faces. It takes a special kind of hatred to do that. But there are men out there that will do that, not just for duty or honour or any of those other abstracts, but for money, and even worse - fun! Nothing on the news about it. Maybe 20 seconds to just misreport the numbers at the event.
Cant believe the way the cops are behaving on the ground and that fucking PD twitter is just lie after lie. The protestors aren't chimping out and going mental like BLM and Antifa. This is really bad optics for Canada.
If the protest was a chimp out it could be a bloodbath but i suspect that alot of these tough guys would run a fucking mile if they met serious resistance. Sorry but the faces behind the screens just dont look psycho enough.
I know people make fun of the whole optics angle, but it does exist. It's not the whole picture of course. It's better to have bad optics and to win, but when in a precarious position, it's better not to take that shot at the king when you know you will probably miss. Talking of looking "psycho" - that exactly describes the faces of the cops I referred to in the earlier paragraph. Clenched jaws and blackened eyes. I don't know if you have ever seen someone when their eyes go black with rage, but it's a thing. What actually happens is the pupils fully dilate, hence the blackness. It's a deep autonomic response that can't be faked. If you see it in real life, run!
Well fuck lol
I'm not super informed about UN operations but if they're deployed in Ottawa would they be identifiable? Like a specific uniform or patch
Yeah, pretty easily identifiable. They will be the ones handing out the lollipops.
So the protests are growing bigger & bigger, I really hope the Trudeau Crew continue fucking around & finding out.
The protests will only get bigger and bigger from here. Most people have not grokked the signifance of this event yet. It's not just one event, it's a whole new way of demonstrating and protesting. The government realise this, this is why they are bringing in such draconian measures. They also realise this will not stop. Attack is the best form of defense sometimes, and that is surely how they see it in this situation, however, it is wholly inappropriate for obvious reasons. But
it's afraid. To be fair, apart from a bit of the old ultraviolence, there really isn't a whole lot they can do. Apart from being reasonable and having a dialogue of course, but that isn't in their playbook. Like a 12 year old school bully they think it would make them look weak - so stunted is their understanding of being a mature adult. As for the trucker's strategy and tactics: This is what's so genius about it all. They are a vital and necessary part of the fabric and infrastructure of daily life. I hope those in government played a lot of
whack-a-mole when they were kids...
And it sucks because I like the internet and 95% of people just use it to shitpost and watch porn, but it's such a deadly and overwhelming tool in the hands of those who seek to control us that I see little way around this.
The late 90's and early 00's the internet still had genuine hopes of being a force for good for humanity. But it has destroyed some of the outer layers of the fabric of life I alluded to earlier. A record number of shops closed on the high street last year. Covid and all that, but it was on life support anyway with amazon and ebay. But apart from shopping, the internet is used for education - that is tainted. It is also used for control and spying, and it's built in to the core of they system now and can't be switched off. They are bringing back the porn ID thing in a bit in bongland. So they say. It's unworkable, but it won't stop them trying. It's being used for control anyway so it doesn't have to work properly. It's probably how they will make VPN usage illegal by individuals. You'll probably need to be a registered company to use one in the next ten years.
But even though there were dreams of a better day for humanity back then when the WWW was in its infancy, one only needed to have looked at its main precursor: Television. And how that got overtaken and bastardised. I used to love watching computer programming shows when they came up on BBC2. I wondered why they couldn't have had these programs on all the time, or at least have a whole load more of them. So many uses for the good that TV could have been put to. But in the end it just became the boomer box for propaganda and misinformation; disinformation and predictive programming.
This is what is so precious about this website. It really is one of the last corners of the internet where people can speak their truth. It's not so much the freeze peach angle, I don't think, it's more that you have a very disparate set of people made up of many more sub-sets, and despite the odd drama, those people get along and go along to get along to a quite frightening degree. Well, frightening for the powers that oversee us and would rule us by dividing us first, to only conquer us later. That's the game plan. The big J knows this place is special, but I wonder sometimes if he knows just how special. Anyway, this website and the people on it may never save the world, but maybe a few of us can have a go at trying. Just like the truckers are doing, and will keep on doing.
This is just the end of the beginning, that's all; the final stages of the first phase, and would you believe it? the prototype actually works pretty good, even now. Expect it to be finessed and developed more from here on in.
