Trump Calls On Massive Protests If Prosecutors Go After Him And Offers Pardons To Jan. 6ers Former President Donald Trump Saturday night called on his followers to stage massive protests in multiple cities should prosecutors act against him. He also said he would offer pardons to those charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol that he incited in a last-gasp attempt to remain in power. “If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere, because our country and our elections are corrupt,” he said to a rally audience in Conroe, Texas, reading from teleprompters set up on either side of his lectern. A few minutes later, he claimed his followers who stormed the Capitol, assaulting police as they entered, were not being treated “fairly” and that should he run for the White House again and win: “If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons.” Trump Calls On Massive Protests If Prosecutors Go After Him And Offers Pardons To Jan. 6ers | HuffPost Latest News

In March, apparently- testing underway now with promising results so far.

From Today's Jerusalem Post: Swastikas displayed at Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests against vaccination mandates By SHIRA HANAU/JTA 4 hrs ago Swastikas and other symbols of hate were on display amid a sea of Canadian flags as part of the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” protests against vaccination mandates in Ottawa over the weekend. The protests, which were organized by Canadian truckers in response to a vaccination mandate placed on truckers returning to Canada from the United States, took place Saturday and attracted thousands to Canada’s capitol city. The protests featured a range of groups comparing vaccine mandates to fascism and displaying Canadian flags, and sometimes American flags, upside down. Many protesters held signs with profanity-filled messages for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Among the symbols displayed at the protests were swastikas and, in at least one instance, the Confederate flag. A member of parliament from the Conservative party, Michael Cooper, went out to show support to the protesters and was interviewed by a Canadian news channel as a protester with a Canadian flag covered in swastikas walked behind him. Cooper later released a statement saying he did not know that the symbol was behind him and that if he had, he would have condemned it. “He or she does not represent the thousands of peaceful protesters who waved Canadian flags and acted responsibly. I stand with them and will continue to fight with them,” he wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. Journalists who reported on the protests said they were subjected to hate speech and violence themselves, with one reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation being called a “slave blooded traitor” after asking for an interview with those organizing the protest. Former US President Donald Trump gave the Canadian protesters a shoutout at a rally in Texas Saturday. “We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way,” Trump said. “They are doing more to defend American freedom than our leaders by far.” Bruce Heyman, who served as the US Ambassador to Canada from 2014 to 2017, condemned the displays of swastikas and other symbols of hate. “Both the use of the swastika and the confederate flag are symbols of extreme hate. So very sad to see these symbols anywhere and especially in Canada,” he wrote in a tweet.

That's Phase Two of the looming robot/AI revolution. I for one, welcome our new overlords.

It would probably be best for all the news media to simply say, " The bunch of idiots in the Trucker parade defaced a memorial, carried a Nazi flag and extorted food from a charity" and leave it at that. The Sun would probably print that " bold heroes expressed themselves vigorously."

Money is a helluva soother.

Yes, I have- grew up there and spent a few years of my practice there. There were a few misanthropes but nowhere near Alberta levels.

We moved to southern Alberta to get to know our granddaughters better and spent three years there. I saw and heard more casual racism there in the first six months than I did in many years in Manitoba. It was stunning how overt and common it was. I could not believe it. Coming back to Manitoba was a relief.

The ironic thing is that the Alberta government is actually killing people with its policies and not a whisper from the Neanderthals. But they have to protest a policy that is actually saving lives. Go figure.

The Sun newsrags are hyping the trucker parade for all they are worth.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots announced that they have signed OL Drew Desjarlais to a future contract. Desjarlais, 24, was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League in the first round (4th overall) in the 2019 draft out of Windsor. The 6-foot-2, 313-pounder, played in all 18 games with 10 starts during his first season. After the 2020 season was canceled, Desjarlais played in all 14 games during a shortened 2021 season and earned a West Division All-Star selection after helping the Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup.

Dumb, just dumb.

Anti-vaxx 'expert' claims vaccines will turn people into ‘transhumanist cyborgs' controlled by 5G Sherri Tenpenny is an influential religious-right anti-vaccine activist who has testified before the Ohio state House, appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast, and been a speaker at multiple ReAwaken America events, where she has shared the stage with the likes of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Eric Trump, Mike Lindell, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Alex Jones. Despite the fact that Tenpenny is an osteopathic doctor with no expertise on vaccines, she regularly appears on right-wing programs where she spreads wild conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines. Recently, she has begun to claim that COVID-19 vaccines are designed to create “quantum entanglement” between those who take them and the internet in an effort to turn humanity into “transhumanist cyborgs.” “The stated goal is to depopulate the planet and the ones that are left, either make them chronically sick or turn them into transhumanist cyborgs that can be manipulated externally by 5G, by magnets, by all sorts of things,” Tenpenny said during an appearance on “The Stew Peters Show” Thursday night. “I got dragged through the mud by the mainstream media when I said that in May of last year in front of the House committee in Columbus, [Ohio]. Well, guess what? It’s all true.” “The whole issue of quantum entanglement and what the shots do in terms of the frequencies and the electronic frequencies that come inside of your body and hook you up to the ‘Internet of Things,’ the quantum entanglement that happens immediately after you’re injected,” she continued. “You get hooked up to what they’re trying to develop. It’s called the hive mind, and they want all of us there as a node and as an electronic avatar that is an exact replica of us except it’s an electronic replica, it’s not our God given body that we were born with. And all of that will be running through the metaverse that they’re talking about. All of these things are real, Stew. All of them. And it’s happening right now. It’s not some science fiction thing happening out in the future; it’s happening right now in real time.” Anti-vaxx 'expert' claims vaccines will turn people into ‘transhumanist cyborgs' controlled by 5G - Alternet.org

Last Friday the Freep published and article about a study comparing vaxers and antivaxxers. The interesting part related to a developmental psychology test for 3 year old kids to determine their likelihood of success in adult life. It consists of offering the child either one piece pf candy now or three pieces later. There emerged a direct correlation between those who waited for the candy and their doing well (in relationships and careers) in adult life. By comparison, the children unwilling to delay gratification did much worse in these areas. The test was repeated using money for both vaxers and antivaxxers and guess what? The antivaxxers were markedly more likely to choose the "money now" option. Arrested development or what?

And that's the way they like it, uhuh, uhuh.

‘Quick Reaction Forces’ And The Lingering Mysteries Of The Plot Against The Capitol. The Oath Keeper “QRFs” show how things could have been a lot worse, and how much more there is to learn. The Comfort Inn location just off the interstate has three stars on Yelp, where reviewers noted it had free parking and free breakfast, but poor WiFi. It did well on TripAdvisor too, although one person reported they found a dead roach in the shower. As a staging ground for an alleged seditious conspiracy, however, it was a pretty solid choice. The Comfort Inn Ballston had rooms available for members of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization at a reasonable rate. The hotel’s luggage carts were strong enough to lug the bins of weapons, ammunition and supplies that they wheeled in to prepare for Jan. 6, 2021. Its location right off the ramp to Route 66 eastbound, outside of rush hour, can get you to the U.S. Capitol in a hurry. Critically, it was located in the state of Virginia, where the alleged co-conspirators wouldn’t have to worry about those pesky D.C. gun laws until it was time to take over the federal government. Then the laws wouldn’t matter. The indictment of Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, who was integral to the plot that unfolded in Ballston, on seditious conspiracy charges this month has once again drawn national attention to how supporters of President Donald Trump plotted to help stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory on Jan. 6. Even after more than 700 arrests, and the hundreds of potential cases that remain, the latest indictment indicates there is much more we still don’t know about the most high-profile conspiracy case to emerge from the Jan. 6 investigation — and how much worse things could have been. Part of the Oath Keepers’ conspiracy was standing up “Quick Reaction Forces” (QRFs) just outside of D.C. that were on standby to deliver guns into the capital on Jan. 6. The “base of operations,” according to the indictment, was the Comfort Inn Ballston, where the North Carolina QRF team leader reserved three rooms: one for their North Carolina team, another for the Arizona QRF team, and the third for the Florida QRF team. The indictment alleges they used those rooms to store and guard the firearms, although the four men on the North Carolina QRF team “kept their rifles ready to go in a vehicle parked in the hotel lot” according to a court filing. “While certain Oath Keepers members and affiliates inside of Washington, D.C., breached the Capitol grounds and building, others remained stationed just outside of the city in QRF teams,” the indictment states. “The QRF teams were prepared to rapidly transfer firearms and other weapons into Washington, D.C., in support of operations aimed at using force to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power.” ‘Quick Reaction Forces’ And The Lingering Mysteries Of The Plot Against The Capitol | HuffPost Latest News

And therein lies the problem- it is much easier to pull someone down to your level than keep up to them,

This completely baffles me and my major was sociology. The impoverished rural areas in the US are completely devoted to supporting the worst slates of GOP candidates who openly display racism, misogyny, pedophilia, and corruption who do little or nothing to help the people in their ridings, The purest form of sanity we were taught is the will and ability to act in one's best interests, and, by that definition, insanity has seized much of America and they are proud of it. In one area of West Virginia, the average male life expectancy was 59 and the healthcare was so poor and the need was so great that Doctors Without Borders actually went in and established medical services. And they were verbally attacked by locals and local politicians. That is America today in a nutshell.

Three days ago, O'Toole was urging moderation. and yesterday he was championing the cause as a outrageous over-reach by the Trudeau government. There are those who believe that leadership consists of finding a parade and getting in front of it. American GOP politicians have successfully instilled in their followers that winning is everything and sacrificing everything to gain that is okay. Some of that **** seems to have leaked across the border.
