Asset forfeiture

Let Them Eat Taser Little Known Facts 27 Comments

Ezra Levant has a detailed explanation on his Twitter feed of the process by which the Ontario government is attempting to block the use of the donated convoy funds. He notes that the protest organizers will have an opportunity to respond in court in a day or two.

It’s clearly an attempt at asset forfeiture; it’s similar to the cops’ theft of the convoy’s fuel a few days ago. This is a tactic that would normally be used to seize a boat or a car belonging to a drug dealer. They are likely to have a hard time proving that Tamara Lich is some sort of dangerous felon.

But you can’t rule out the simplest answer — that the government was under such political pressure to shut down the truckers, by any means or method necessary, that they simply decided to deceive the court — anything to make these truckers go away, to hell with the law.

Update (from Robert) : Here’s the ThreadReader version of Ezra’s tweets.

The narrative must be shifting when even the CBC recognizes the sheer logistical nightmare of trying to tow all those trucks in Ottawa as a means of stopping what has now become a growing insurgency.

Police don’t think towing the trucks is an effective solution, said Matt Skof, president of the Ottawa Police Association.

“You can tow all you want — they’re just going to return to the location, so it hasn’t resolved the issue,” Skof said. “And where are you putting all these vehicles?”

Towing large trucks is “incredibly logistically difficult,” Skof said, and any trucks removed would likely be quickly replaced by new ones arriving. Even if barriers were set up to prevent their re-entry, that would just push the problem to another part of the city, Skof said.

The mass vaccination program may not be so great at preventing transmission and infection, but at least it’s successful at preventing hospitalization and death, right?

If trends in the UK are anything to go by, even that narrative seems to be taking on a lot of water.

The latest figures published by the UK Health Security Agency show that despite the elderly and vulnerable receiving a booster shot in September and October, …. the triple/double vaccinated population still accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 deaths throughout December 2021.

With the vaccinated population accounting for 7 in every 10 Covid-19 cases, 6 in every 10 Covid-19 hospitalisations, and 8 in every 10 Covid-19 deaths, is there really any justification for turning the NHS into the National Booster Service and the introduction of vaccine passports in which an unvaccinated person must take a test to be permitted entry but a vaccinated person does not?

Bret Weinstein interviews two researchers on a topic that is thankfully starting to gain some traction: vitamin D.

At the 1 1/2 hour mark, the discussion shifts to the less well-known but critical topic of animal reservoirs. They identify a key problem with the mass vaccination program which could explain, in part, why it is driving itself to failure.

“As soon as you discover that a virus has an animal reservoir, you know that it will never be extinct. Smallpox has no animal reservoir; that is why we could drive it to be extinct.”

In the business world, anyone with this track record for prediction would be out on their ear. But in Sovietized medicine, the powers that be overlook these failures as though selective memory was the fast track to promotion.

the revisionist history around vaccines is getting pretty extreme. let’s be VERY clear:

  • yes, they were promised to stop spread, contagion, and provide herd immunity.
  • yes, those promises were made by the same “experts” currently claiming “vaccines were never supposed to stop spread, just reduce severity.”
  • yes, they were so committed to this that they literally changed the definition of “herd immunity” to EXCLUDE natural immunity.

To be fair though, the message is also being embraced by a population that finds sleepwalking disturbingly comforting.

I am literally gobsmacked by the lack of memory and discernment.

This level of credulity leaves me wondering how the entire country has not already lost its savings in some internet scam.

Evening Standard- ‘Bad weed trip’ killer cleared of murder after admitting manslaughter

Jake Notman inflicted more than 30 stab wounds on 25-year-old university student Lauren Bloomer after eating a cannabis brownie at their home in Bingley Avenue, Tamworth Staffordshire in the early hours of Friday November 20 last year.

The 27-year-old car factory worker denied murdering Miss Bloomer, claiming he did not form the necessary intent due to his mental state.

One aspect of the pandemic that typically gets little notice is the psychological side. In this one hour interview, Amy Peikoff speaks with Matthias Desmet, clinical psychologist at the University of Ghent, regarding the psychological impact of the pandemic measures.

In a nutshell, Desmet’s thesis is that the measures are creating a dangerous “social bond” in which frustration is focused on the dehumanization of the unvaccinated and anyone who questions the scope and effectiveness of said measures. We are now experiencing a phenomenon that he terms “mass formation” in which a kind of “mental intoxication” takes hold. Critical thinking is discouraged and replaced by unquestioning obedience and the adoption of transparently absurd rituals. If not stopped, he fears that this psychological conditioning will open the door to a totalitarian society.

When it comes to seafood, nearly half of what you think you’re buying at the grocery store or ordering from a menu is falling short of its promises, according to a new DNA testing study by Oceana Canada. The ocean conservation group tested seafood samples from restaurants and grocery stores in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and found that 46 per cent were mislabelled.

One of the reasons why the public outcry over the pandemic restrictions has been so muted is that the full costs of the lockdowns are often obscured by government edicts that prevent markets from making those costs known. This weekend, one of those edicts finally expired.

As many as 1.95 million households across America owed a collective $15 billion in back rent when a nationwide eviction moratorium expired this weekend, according to Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia estimates.

That number will reach 2 million by December, according to the report released Friday. In Pennsylvania, about 60,000 renter households will owe $412 million come August.

1971 Leader Post: “Chiefs Request (Marieval) School Be Kept”

Little Known Facts There Goes The Narrative We Are All Treaty People 114 Comments

By Ruth Shaw, Staff Reporter

YORKTON (Staff) – A resolution asking that the Marieval Residental School be kept open as long as the Indian people want it, was passed by the chiefs and counsellors of eight Indian bands at a regional meeting held Thursday.

The meeting was held in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, with Joe Whitehawk of Yorkton, district
supervisor, as chairman.

Various spokesmen said the pupils are generally children from broken homes, orphans or are from inadequate homes. There is a great need for the school and the need is increasing, rather than diminishing. Many of the children have no other place to stay, as many have only grandparents, who through lack of space, health or age are unable to look after them.

The alternative is foster homes, which will cost just as much money. Children in the residential school get a measure of correction, discipline and religious training and this should be taken into consideration, when plans are under study for the phasing out of the school, the spokesman said.

While residential schools are not the best, they meet the most needs of the children. Children in foster homes are deprived of correction, discipline and religious training. The older members were disciplined and given religious training and “we must get back to these old traditions,” the spokesman said. The spokesman, who is a community development officer, said the Marievale Residential School must be expanded one step further and a junior high school established.

Another spokesman said the Indian people passed a resolution asking that the school remain open and it should not be up to the department to say whether the school should be closed.

Another said that if the request is made it should remain open and “the people should not be bribed to close the place.”

Chief Antoine Cote of the Cote reserve said the people on his reserve are not satisfied with the integration of Indian students at Kamsack.

“They claim there is no discrimination, but there is and we realize there is. One of the reasons of phasing out the student residential schools is so our children can be sent to so called integrated schools,” he said.

If Not For Fake Hate There’d Be No Hate At All

On the fifth anniversary of the PULSE nightclub massacre in Orlando, numerous senators, politicians and activist groups commemorated that tragic event by propagating an absolute falsehood: namely, that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was motivated by anti-LGBT animus. The evidence is definitive and conclusive that this is false — Mateen, like so many others who committed similar acts of violence, was motivated by rage over President Obama’s bombing campaigns in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and chose PULSE at random without even knowing it was a gay club — yet this media-consecrated lie continues to fester.
