“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ~Dietrich Bonheoffer 
Canadians stood up for freedom, and are continuing to stand up against Trudeau’s brutal dictatorship, for freedom is necessary for a democracy to exist and flourish.
Never in the history of mankind has there ever been a more peaceful, respectful, clean, moral, and ethical political protest, in stark contrast to all BLM and ANTIFA protests. The trucker’s protest in Ottawa was a shining example of how decent moral people should assemble in public square for redress of their grievances.
As cited in an article by senior editor William F. Jasper of The New American publication, Truckers, Davos Eites, and Collapsing Covid Lies:
“Little Justin Trudeau has thrown in his lot with Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and their Davos cabal at the World Economic Forum, which is the driving force behind the plandemic tyranny. But the “little people” of the world are refusing to submit to these would-be global tyrants. Remember: You are not alone, and resistance is not futile.”
How long might it take until the decline of a formerly democratic nation has an impact on our nation? You be the judge.
In a call between Traudeau and Biden there was agreement that the Canadian trucker protest must stop. Trudeau discussed American influence in the blockade, like the flooding of emergency lines, American participants among the convoy and donations from those in the U.S.
Horse trampling in Ottawa, Friday, February 18
The Washington Examiner has a good story here of how the mounted police appear to trample protesters in Ottawa.
Were they trampled or just knocked down? It’s difficult to tell. One person knocked down was in a mobility scooter. How courageous!
The same story was also reported at the Winnipeg Sun.
Furthermore, police have now arrested Corporal Bulford of the RCMP, who was personally on the Mountie detail personally protecting Trudeau and visiting dignitaries. He quit and spoke out due to his commitment to freedom and honoring his Mountie oath. For this he was arrested. Read here.
Too bad the protesters weren’t violent Antifa/BLM types!
A contrasting situation
Compare and contrast the horse tramplings to the young girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning AP photographer Nick Ut took her photo at Trảng Bàng Vietnam, June 8, 1972. Phan was later used for years by the communist for propagandists.
Phan Thi Kim Phuclater fled and is now a strong Christian after growing up in the Cao Dai (monistic) religion.
Napalm, of courses, isn’t used today, they just confiscate all your money and eliminate your ability to have a job. It’s more of a Soviet non-person than a napalm approach.
Dictatorship arriving in Canada?
As reported February 21, 2022: Dictatorship in Canada: Some of the Emergencies Act Provisions to PERMANENT https://gellerreport.com/2022/02/dictatorship-in-canada-some-of-the-emergencies-act-provisions-to-be-permanent.html/
In the article, Trudeau’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, also a director of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum, related how she plans to make her emergency powers permanent.
That essentially means that the Canadian government will have the power permanently to seize the bank accounts of anyone who dissents or whom they want to silence, for that is what a dictatorship does.
Trudeau has made it clear that he is not acting to protect the country, but instead to protect his Leftist agenda. If Trudeau is not stopped, this will be remembered as the time when democracy died in Canada, as a time when Biden and other Western leaders stood by silently instead of denouncing Trudeau. Might they too want the same: power and control over their citizens?
Words of caution
The following is part of a post-war confession made by German Lutheran pastor Martin Neimöller.
The poem speaks on the cowardice of certain segments of the German population as the Nazis decimated their own country. Those who don’t know this poem may soon learn it.
Ottawa right now is ground zero of the war for freedom. Just recall, however, that tomorrow the same might arrive at our footsteps.
Poem: “First They Came….”
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unions.
Because I was not a trade unions.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.’
Coming events
The USA Freedom Convoy is coming, driving from CA to Washington, D.C. beginning on March 2nd. To SUPPORT THIS CONVOY.
Check here for the Midwest Freedom Convoy to DC, with two stops in IL on March 5, that Thorner wrote about on Monday, February 21, 2022. Note the giving link: American Truckers Freedom
Closing thoughts
Will this nation’s citizens be willing to stand with and support the trucker convoys as they make their way to Washington, D.C. to preserve what are our God-given freedoms?
Only time will tell. Freedom can easily be lost. Once lost, seldom can it be reinstated
This latest Trafalger poll question, however, is concerning: Do you support or oppose Justin Trudeau’s authoritarian crackdown on the freedom convoy truckers in Canada?
This question was posed in the latest Trafalgar poll: Do you support or oppose Justin Trudeau’s authoritarian crackdown on the freedom convoy truckers in Canada.
While most Canadians as well as Americans support the truckers and are in favor of limited government, the Democrats are once again extremely out of touch.
An astonishing 65% of Democrats support Trudeau.
