and they're trashing canadians... some of the most peaceful (and sometimes quite boring) people on the planet. Nothing credible about that article. When american medias are trashing Trump supporters or just american conservatives in general that kinda work out because americans have that reputation of being more bombastic, extravagant, gun-loving citizens on the international level. but canadians ? no ... I like to see mainstream medias destroying themselves even more on the canadian trucker issue. The bullshit is crystal clear.
I don't waste my time with MSM anymore. It's useless as a source of information. Sometimes I got there though just for the amusement over a certain issue. I'm usually right about how they cover it.
We need parallel societies, and the sooner the better.
FWIW, Catherine Austin Fitts clearly demonstrates that, when the U.S. government determined that its financial books could remain secret, the ability of U.S. citizens to know what their government was doing was thoroughly compromised. Secrecy is the mortar that glues nefarious governments to oppress their citizens. Secrecy is the enemy of good government.
I agree but did anyone actually read their article? What did they mean by toxic? By the way, it’s obviously disrespectful of WaPo but still I’d like to know what the meaning was.
And, just as an aside, toxic is a bioweapon clot shot, toxic are carcinogenic, oxygen depriving masks, toxic are PCR tests, toxic are Fauci ‘s snd Walensky’s lies, toxic is the narrative, toxic all of it toxic. But the Canadian Truckers toxic? Huh? That’s a new low for MSM. A new low.
And I want to warn people that if you see a guy with a Nazi flag in their pictures , it’s a plant and a lie. The good, decent Canadians are calling this guy out. He’s either just part of a small group (there were 5 people together in the shot captured by MSM or a tweeter; one flag) representing a very very small group or were an Antifa type plant trying to discredit good people.
‘Toxic’ has the same meaning as ‘racist’ - that is to say none. It’s a pejorative flung at somebody you don’t like because they won’t think like you tell them, as an ad hominem attacks to demonise the person so whatever their argument, challenge or reason must be evil because an evil person is doing it.
People protesting for their Common Law Rights (Canada is a Common Law based society) are ‘toxic’, but people smashing up the streets, looting, abusing other citizens over skin tone and things that happened 200 years ago, are glorious heroes.
That is the strange working of the minds of what passes for the (self-proclaimed) elite, these days.
Excellent comments about “toxic” and “racist”. Goes along with all the other words whose definitions are quietly being changed to conform to the narrative of a side that is as far from “objective” as I can see.
Was just looking at Reuter’s in regard to Trump supporting candidates “for vengeance”. Excuse me, any Trump quotes, really? Vengeance? That word bespeaks MSM continuing the non-objective narrative. While I’m not a total supporter of all of Trump I can’t stand this verbal characterization. He is doing the exact same thing many others do on left side, supporting candidates he agrees with.
Even Wisconsin assembly members initiated a new challenge to the November 2020 outcome. I haven’t read it yet, I want to look at it, but The assembly members said it shows absolute proof of voter fraud. Neither baseless nor without evidence as the MSM continues to say. And I saw videos of Georgia fraud.
"The leadership of the group is promising to remain peaceful, but the convoy is made up of many individuals and far-right groups that have embraced the convoy as a Canadian version of the Jan. 6 rioting in the United States. The movement shares an affinity with Trumpist toxic authoritarianist politics."
"Time and time again we learn the lesson, or at least come across it, that teaches us that rage-soaked antigovernment types can’t be reasoned with. This time around, the convoy has produced an incoherent “memorandum of understanding” premised upon a misunderstanding of government and absurd demands. Of course, the memo should be ignored. It’s the product of a temper tantrum."
When the media in Canada first mentioned a comparison to Jan 6, it was pretty clear that the convoy needed to watch out for instigators and infiltrators.
“Rage soaked anti government types”. That sincerely does not describe a single one of the ten or so videos of good peaceful people protesting mandates That I saw personally. Maybe the “rage soaked” part is her own projecting....
But thanks for sharing. I had a bad feeling if I read the whole thing I’d blow my top too as what little you shared was so ... the thought that come to mind is hypocritical but also just outrageously, egregiously wrong.
"Leftists" hate non-leftists FAR more than the reverse. They likely ARE consumed by hate for us. I could care less, until and when it becomes physically dangerous, and lets hope it never gets to that point. I don't know what their rallying cry is, "We MUST have abortions, all the time, EVERYONE !!!" Do they BELIEVE in anything else?
Also I really like Dr. David Martin’s approach of making the legal forms available on his website to start putting them on notice that they will be held PERSONALLY LIABLE, MINION BY MINION, LEGALLY for being complicit with this criminal conspiracy. He lists the explicit laws that are being broken. If people start using his toolkit, that will really put you average minion on the back foot.
People are starting to press criminal complaints against medical workers for the vax injuries in Texas. Apparently it's having an effect, as they are not immune like the pharmas.
I believe I saw the video you reference (dr Martin has quite a few!) and I have a question. I know it’s going to seem idiotic, pointless and naive plus it’s likely that the answer is simply that the guy is just an asshole. So here goes: how does Yo-Yo Ma fit into all this? I’m not shocked at all the celebrities that have come out to support the vax mandates (they are bought and paid for, the same as politicians, one must see them less as individuals and more as a brand) but when dr Martin mentions Yo-Yo Ma, I kept waiting for the punchline.
Maybe I answered my own question when I mention celebrities are bought and paid for but i’d appreciate any other information on this particular musician’s affiliations or anything to help explain how he came to be among the main monsters.
I don’t know anything about him, sorry. I just read an article and it made him out to be a very empathetic character who does a lot of charity shares of his gifts. I think he has unwittingly tried to use his music to comfort people during the Plandemic, not realizing they don’t need to be soothed, but rather alerted and warned. Just my take. Mariah Carey, on the other hand… I believe she faked getting the jab and actually did a little diva-squeak during it to embellish her video lie with a trick audio too.
Wasn't it Joseph Goebbels who said, "Accuse the other side of that which you are doing"? Truckers protest mandates of the toxic vaccines. So WaPo vax cheerleading Inc calls the truckers toxic. Right, we see the game.
Yes, something like “Accuse your opponents of that of which you are guilty”.
It’s clever, just as is “the big lie”, and for the same reason.
We non psychopaths know we occasionally tell small lies but not a huge one, so we interpret big lies as truth. Calling someone else a cold blooded murderer fits the bill.
Dr Goebbels did indeed make a statement with that meaning, but his point gets lost in modern interpretation.
The point was that all debate, all arguments, all rethoric and media are propaganda. They cannot ever be anything but propaganda, they must be understood and handled as propaganda no matter your own stance on an issue or actual facts.
Take the WP. Let's say you are to write an article, 2 500 words, for them. Topic: masks, Covid and spread of viruses.
It is completely impossible for you to cover all the possible angles. Do you focus on the medical side, how viruses work and how an aerosol spreads in a closed environment? If so, you'll have a highly specialised technical article no one will read - too technical, nothing that grabs the imagination. The law of least resistance applies: you will write the text the easiest way: "human interest", some talking points from official sources, your own anecdotes and feelings and hey presto it's "let's go grab lattes for what a minimium wage labour slave makes from two hours of work"-time.
Because even choice of topic and what you choose to edit from your text is part of the propaganda even when we endeavour to tell the truth.
All communication aims to convince and affect: hence communication is a tool to enforce will. That was his point and it is completely devoid of any political leaning, it is simply a statement of fact. Corollary to that is if you can convince others that only "the other side" uses propaganda, your audience's defences go down.
Well stated. I have a lit degree myself and we learnt some of this in studies. While I did not study or acquire a degree in propaganda, we did learn of some of the uses and limitations of the written word (that's all they had centuries ago, but the basic principles probably apply to all intercourse.) Consider your 2500 word article example and generalize it. Even if a narrator's intent is to be completely truthful and objective, it is simply impossible to write in ultimate detail about every person, place, thing or event in a time period. As such, his account is by necessity incomplete. One could even argue that it is a lie by omission; to judge from that unattainable standard where truth = knowing and reporting everything.
Another, more important in my opinion angle: the narrator's biases, points of view. These too inevitably color a narrative, influencing what is spoken of and what is left out, what is spun one way and what is spun the other way.
With the exception of writing that is intended as and (hopefully) plainly recognized as fiction, then, all writing is at best an incomplete record. At worst it is entirely the writer's hopes, fears and other emotions spewed out in words. More likely, it is some blend of those two. Writing is just narrative, propaganda if you like. Claims to truth must be judged against objective reality. I can say "2+2=5" with complete artistic license. But to assert its truth invites others to test the validity of the claim.
(in theory, anyone can enjoy a rotating Schrödinger pussy -is it truly rotating? left or right?- by uploading a gif animation as profile pic... hurry up though, cuz social platforms start out sweet & permissive, safe and effective, and all your base are belong to us, then one day, you wake up to find MAUS is banned and you get warnings for posting naked pictures of a mouse or your own respectable grandma)
Hey Dr. Mike. It's the pinnacle of Service to Mankind what you have been doing by speaking out. However, having said that, and meaning it, you did work for years in one of the most evil corporations in Big Pharma history. I have to say that I'm having conflicting emotions trying to separate you from the two dimensions. Just being real Doc.
Each of us knows what all the others are doing as we had quarterly presentations to peer groups & an annual full therapy area review (90 min each).
I presented & defended respiratory annually for a decade.
Also, there isn’t any evil you can do in research. We’re a cost centre. We only spend money!
We’re years from the market, even early clinical trials take years to get to.
I feel embarrassed that I never suspected more than you & I saw on the news. The odd very large fine fir corrupt practises in the marketplace. Not happy about those.
I came across frank fraud in research only once. My peer & my boss colluded to hide bad data on an early program.
They did it to keep their bonuses.
They seemed to assume id join in. I was horrified & resigned, telling them that’s the end of science once you’re willing to fake data or lie.
I will say that you do NOT give off the vibes of an inherently evil unit. And I have known some inherently evil units up close. I hope you are the real you in these comments and replies.
“ Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive.”
Trudeau is the most toxic one of all. He dares to call the “unvaccinated racist, misogynistic mobs who are not to be tolerated”. Yet he was the one running around in BLACKFACE his entire adult life. He is the only true racist I see. He’s is actually a fascist psychopath. Truckers should run him out if the country. I’d gladly secede from any Union Justin Trudeau is a part of if EL GATO will run for president. TRUCK FUDEAU, Truck Biden, Truck California, New York, Chicago, Portland, and Seattle.
Oh, that’s what she meant!! see my other comment about a Canadian MP in parliament session calling him Black face, I didn’t realize what she was saying.
oh, FFS! i am soooo glad i didn't see that today. that is such a LOAD of bullshit. if he keeps opening his mouth with this crap spewing out, i am going to keep donating to the convoy. i don't think he quite understands how much he is offending Canadians who stand for the truckers. it's like he's living in an alternate universe. WEFworld. we didn't vote for that, and it's very apparent, we do not want it.
They did NOT do this. Trudeau is lying. I watched a clip on Twitter of one of their (I guess she’s an MP) calling Trudeau’s “black face” out and calling the truckers a, I can’t remember how she phrased it but I think she simply said they were good and peaceful and deserved to be heard. She was applauded by quite a few around her, possibly s minority but it certainly sounded like at least 20-30 people applauding or more, not just one or two.
It's beyond comprehension that the Little Fascist Bastard actually believes this stuff. He is just trying to get other people to believe it. Shows the level of corruption and desparation. The truck convoy has nothing to do with anything the Little Fascist Bastard tweeted.
No, the left has pivoted while you weren't looking. Since, according to them, there is no such thing as sex, only gender, by definition 'a prejudice against or hatred of women because of their sex' cannot exist.
Similarly, it is logically inconsistent to make any claims of racism or white supremacy, since we all know that race is a social construct; furthermore all human beings in all times and places are equal. All people should be treated with the same dignity, respect and regard for human rights, except, of course, those we label as our enemies. 😛
Not really. Buddha would say that (of several alternatives) doubt exists, it does not exist, it both exists and does not exist, and finally, it both neither exists nor non-exists. 🙂 Yes, such language really occurs in the teachings (e.g. Pali Canon); its purpose is to provide an example of unanswerable and ultimately irrelevant speculations. And upon that point there can be no doubt, or can there be...?
The more they push back, the more entrenched the resistance will become and the more it will spread and spread. Get the popcorn out (well maybe better stock up the shelves first - cause might be hard to find here in a bit).
Latest from the toxic Canadian PM: "Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive."
Keep Canada more inclusive by excluding the people you disagree with..
It’s crazy how that organization has solidly and consistently outperformed all the rest. Two years ago I barely knew what is was, and mostly read to better understand China. Starting about May 2020 I upgraded to include the weekly paper - and I’ve kept every one since for my kids. It’s a stack now!!!! And love EpochTV
same... first found out about Epoch when they tossed a free copy of it on my driveway about two years ago... as subscriptions to four other papers got unbearably woke, flat out cancelled all four last year and haven’t missed them at all💕🐱🙏🐱💕
Yes, we too got a free Epoch Times as did many in my neighborhood as some subscriptions were misdelivered to us so I know who these "readers" of news are. Shhhh
While I was (and still am) mad at Berenson for the Malone fracas (and mostly ivermectin), I’m almost inclined to say he’s about the only one in actual journalism I’d listen to right now.
I thought the blow to Malone was a low blow. If that were a pattern I would cancel.
On ivermectin - we actually took it as Covid finally got us in the last week (and was very mild). I can’t prove the ivermectin helped, but I can read charts, studies and listen to actual MDs. I don’t take medical advice from journalists, nor do I take it from politicians, which is why we are unvaccinated and now immune pure bloods. 22 countries have approved ivermectin, in whole or part, specifically for Covid-19. 72 for the treatment of viruses.
A major (less corrupt) Japanese pharmaceutical company came out yesterday and said ivermectin should be the treatment of choice for all coronaviruses. Then there is the below link.
I think Alex dug his heels in early on ivermectin and hasn’t really kept up on that (his bias). I expect him to get slaughtered in the comments when he writes his “I think ivermectin doesn’t work” piece. But…. I also expect him to acknowledge his subscribers and no one is talking about making ivermectin a mandate. The pushes to ban it here have nothing to do with Alex, and everything to do with the fact politicians are owned by big pharma. I don’t mind dissenting opinions.
Just be aware that Epoch is not immune to influence. The accusation is made that it's a "CIA paper" and perhaps it is. I too am an occasional (free) reader. At best, you are getting a different point of view than what the Times, Post, etc. bleat. The very fact that you agree with a periodical's point of view indicates you are letting down your guard, your critical reasoning skills. This doesn't mean they are liars. It does mean, say I, that one should always keep some skepticism in reserve. Nobody is above suspicion.
I disagree with your assertion I’m “letting my guard down.”
My affinity for Epoch Times has nothing to do with “agreeing” with anything. On the Chinese side I’ve learned a lot about the culture that I didn’t know at all before reading it. There isn’t a way to agree or disagree in advance of reading about a subject I knew absolutely nothing about at all.
On the Covid side they have supported their articles with actual data and actual outcomes, with links to source documents. “Agreeing” has nothing to do with it. I appreciate the paper has been willing to cover topics others haven’t and has actually engaged in journalism reporting on actual outcomes.
Truth is my point of view. An accurate record of reporting factually observed outcomes. Yes, I have more faith in an article that links to source documents and data is not “letting my guard down.” It’s my expectation. Epoch Times consistently does that.
I’ll happily pay for someone to present evidence that conflates with my current understanding of just about anything. Thats where learning occurs. It strains credulity to claim that my observation they have supported more honest journalism, and based their articles in facts they support with actual evidence more frequently than any other media institution I’ve seen in the past two years is not anyone “letting their guard down.”
The Washington Post is the propaganda arm of the authoritarian left. It was once a great newspaper. Now it’s worth about as much as Pravda, or Der Stürmer.
A while ago I had an epiphany about that slogan. It means the opposite of what we thought it meant. It’s trying to let everyone know how to kill democracy. Like saying: “to kill weeds you need to spray them with a mix of dish soap and vinegar”. Their slogan is instructional.
The notion of a free and independent press died long before Jeff Bezos got interested in the failing Washington Post. His purchase was just the last shovel of dirt on the casket.
Well they're running out of magical imprecations. They've already decremented the severity and meaning of "racist", "sexist", "misogynist", "homophobe", "transphobe", and one of their new favorites, "traitor".
I am so earnestly hoping for the joy of one of these morons confronting me with "you're a...." so I can smile cheerily and say "OK" and walk away humming Saraghina's tune (from the film "8 1/2"). May the Lord bestow upon me this gift...
WaPo - turning out the lights for the past 30 years....
Yes, but don't forget to start a nuclear war with Russia and for god's sake keep starving those kids in Yemen!
WaPo is the paper of the Lizard People.
Owned by Bezos, who has a $600 million contract with the CIA. "That's REAL news!"
With so many lizards there, we need to unleash a platoon of cats on the WaPo.
and they're trashing canadians... some of the most peaceful (and sometimes quite boring) people on the planet. Nothing credible about that article. When american medias are trashing Trump supporters or just american conservatives in general that kinda work out because americans have that reputation of being more bombastic, extravagant, gun-loving citizens on the international level. but canadians ? no ... I like to see mainstream medias destroying themselves even more on the canadian trucker issue. The bullshit is crystal clear.
I don't waste my time with MSM anymore. It's useless as a source of information. Sometimes I got there though just for the amusement over a certain issue. I'm usually right about how they cover it.
We need parallel societies, and the sooner the better.
Nice comment but why do you see Canucks as boring? I don't know any boring ppl here.
Waning subscribership for years. Most WaPo readers are probably connected to DC in some way.
FWIW, Catherine Austin Fitts clearly demonstrates that, when the U.S. government determined that its financial books could remain secret, the ability of U.S. citizens to know what their government was doing was thoroughly compromised. Secrecy is the mortar that glues nefarious governments to oppress their citizens. Secrecy is the enemy of good government.
Can't argue with that. Can anybody?
Defund DC
Re-Found America
It's Common Sense
If by "toxic" they mean it's deadly to their false narrative, then I'd have to agree.
When a Covid Nazi calls you toxic, consider it a high compliment.
Yes, always consider the source.
ahh, it's liberal kriptonite when rubes revolt.
I agree but did anyone actually read their article? What did they mean by toxic? By the way, it’s obviously disrespectful of WaPo but still I’d like to know what the meaning was.
And, just as an aside, toxic is a bioweapon clot shot, toxic are carcinogenic, oxygen depriving masks, toxic are PCR tests, toxic are Fauci ‘s snd Walensky’s lies, toxic is the narrative, toxic all of it toxic. But the Canadian Truckers toxic? Huh? That’s a new low for MSM. A new low.

Two quotes from the article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/01/28/canada-must-confront-toxic-protest-freedom-convoy/):
"The leadership of the group is promising to remain peaceful, but the convoy is made up of many individuals and far-right groups that have embraced the convoy as a Canadian version of the Jan. 6 rioting in the United States.

I know. It angers me so much. MSM is just continuing to dig their own grave. I will never trust their narrative again.
I get ya - I only read far enough to get those two quotes. Makes me sick to read they kind of mendacious bullshit.
"Leftists" hate non-leftists FAR more than the reverse. They likely ARE consumed by hate for us. I could care less, until and when it becomes physically dangerous, and lets hope it never gets to that point. I don't know what their rallying cry is, "We MUST have abortions, all the time, EVERYONE !!!" Do they BELIEVE in anything else?
I saw an Interview with the organizers of the protest. They would not allow any MSM for this very reason.
Wait so they are authoritarianist and anti-government? So authoritarianist anarchists?
I thought it was interesting when I saw a clip of the guy slinking away when he was exposed.
There were pictures of him and speculation that he is Trudeau's official photographer. Nothing would surprise me.
That’s exactly what it means like their screaming about threats to democracy; it means they are threatened!
I was wondering about the use of the word toxic. I guess the truckers need to burn down the city and it will be mostly peaceful.
Probably means all the diesel fumes spewing in the air from the trucks. Will someone please think of the earth! /sarc
Democracy dies when billionaires own the press.
Also I really like Dr. David Martin’s approach of making the legal forms available on his website to start putting them on notice that they will be held PERSONALLY LIABLE, MINION BY MINION, LEGALLY for being complicit with this criminal conspiracy. He lists the explicit laws that are being broken. If people start using his toolkit, that will really put you average minion on the back foot.
People are starting to press criminal complaints against medical workers for the vax injuries in Texas. Apparently it's having an effect, as they are not immune like the pharmas.
I fellow I talked with tonight said: but the kourts are corrupt as fuck, they won't protect us.
This is true.
But the concept of written public Law is not obsolete. The successor regime will as much as any other need and operate by law.
Wow hadn’t heard that but always wondered.
I believe I saw the video you reference (dr Martin has quite a few!) and I have a question. I know it’s going to seem idiotic, pointless and naive plus it’s likely that the answer is simply that the guy is just an asshole. So here goes: how does Yo-Yo Ma fit into all this?

Mariah Carey, on the other hand… I believe she faked getting the jab and actually did a little diva-squeak during it to embellish her video lie with a trick audio too.
Back to old-fashioned talking with your friends, leafleting, postering, bumper stickers I guess. I don’t need money to open my mouth!
Edit: “your average minion.”
Desperate politicians do desperate things. I am sending good thoughts to the heroic truckers.
Wasn't it Joseph Goebbels who said, "Accuse the other side of that which you are doing"? Truckers protest mandates of the toxic vaccines. So WaPo vax cheerleading Inc calls the truckers toxic. Right, we see the game.
Yes, we mere mortals aren't supposed to be smart enough to discern tyranny, hypocrisy in their WAPO articles. Duh!! Guess what..the jig is up WaPo.
Yes, something like “Accuse your opponents of that of which you are guilty”.
It’s clever, just as is “the big lie”, and for the same reason.

Can't wait to see their headlines when the US Convoy starts! I'll be sure to get some popcorn to watch the MSM's total meltdown.
Yeah what are they waiting for...are we going to let the Canadians out-freedom us??
It's unthinkable, I know. But truckers4freedom on telegram are asking for patience as they plan it.
What about the Facebook group.
Maybe they have to get permission from the union.
I think we just did 😉❤
Yes.
It seems that there are still so many people that trust the current narrative-including members of my family-will we garner enough support?
Ugh. I know. I have a good friend who is avoiding public indoor places until she "feels she is out of the omicron craziness." Seriously.
Freedom is toxic, comrade.
Freedom causes agoraphobia.
Freedom from agoraphobia!
Dyslexics untie!
midama. You've got the only moving name plate on anything I've seen on substack. And your comment was pretty cool also.
Your rotating pussy really is something 🤔😎🤗
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
(in theory, anyone can enjoy a rotating Schrödinger pussy -is it truly rotating? left or right?- by uploading a gif animation as profile pic... hurry up though, cuz social platforms start out sweet & permissive, safe and effective, and all your base are belong to us, then one day, you wake up to find MAUS is banned and you get warnings for posting naked pictures of a mouse or your own respectable grandma)
Hey Dr. Mike. It's the pinnacle of Service to Mankind what you have been doing by speaking out. However, having said that, and meaning it, you did work for years in one of the most evil corporations in Big Pharma history. I have to say that I'm having conflicting emotions trying to separate you from the two dimensions. Just being real Doc.
The reconciliation is that research isn’t evil.
Each of us knows what all the others are doing as we had quarterly presentations to peer groups & an annual full therapy area review (90 min each).
I presented & defended respiratory annually for a decade.
Also, there isn’t any evil you can do in research. We’re a cost centre. We only spend money!
We’re years from the market, even early clinical trials take years to get to.
I feel embarrassed that I never suspected more than you & I saw on the news. The odd very large fine fir corrupt practises in the marketplace. Not happy about those.
I came across frank fraud in research only once. My peer & my boss colluded to hide bad data on an early program.
They did it to keep their bonuses.
They seemed to assume id join in. I was horrified & resigned, telling them that’s the end of science once you’re willing to fake data or lie.
I will say that you do NOT give off the vibes of an inherently evil unit. And I have known some inherently evil units up close. I hope you are the real you in these comments and replies.
Thank you. Only you can decide if this sounds like the same person who dies those interviews & now posts on Gettr:

Just Say On!
The banner "Democracy Dies in Darkness" tells us what they do. Think of it as product branding.
And "All the News That's Fit to Print". Same–same. It's too obvious, once you see it.
NYT: All the News That's Shit to Print
Latest Trudeau statement:
“ Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive.”
🤡
Trudeau is the most toxic one of all. He dares to call the “unvaccinated racist, misogynistic mobs who are not to be tolerated”. Yet he was the one running around in BLACKFACE his entire adult life. He is the only true racist I see. He’s is actually a fascist psychopath. Truckers should run him out if the country. I’d gladly secede from any Union Justin Trudeau is a part of if EL GATO will run for president. TRUCK FUDEAU, Truck Biden, Truck California, New York, Chicago, Portland, and Seattle.
Long live the true Canadian truckers!
Oh, that’s what she meant!! see my other comment about a Canadian MP in parliament session calling him Black face, I didn’t realize what she was saying.
if you enjoy on-point word play 🤓

While quarantining with a case of Coward 19.
oh, FFS! i am soooo glad i didn't see that today. that is such a LOAD of bullshit. if he keeps opening his mouth with this crap spewing out, i am going to keep donating to the convoy. i don't think he quite understands how much he is offending Canadians who stand for the truckers. it's like he's living in an alternate universe. WEFworld. we didn't vote for that, and it's very apparent, we do not want it.
So Trudeau came out a day early as tomorrow is ground hog day, Feb 2. We'll have how many more years...errr weeks of insanity?
They did NOT do this. Trudeau is lying. I watched a clip on Twitter of one of their (I guess she’s an MP) calling Trudeau’s “black face” out and calling the truckers a, I can’t remember how she phrased it but I think she simply said they were good and peaceful and deserved to be heard. She was applauded by quite a few around her, possibly s minority but it certainly sounded like at least 20-30 people applauding or more, not just one or two.
It's beyond comprehension that the Little Fascist Bastard actually believes this stuff. He is just trying to get other people to believe it. Shows the level of corruption and desparation. The truck convoy has nothing to do with anything the Little Fascist Bastard tweeted.
what a twit
Is that statement for real?!
Is this a joke or real?
It's real, or somebody hijacked is twitter account. https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1488660359422648320
I’m guessing the character limit kept him from throwing misogyny in there too. Or it’s not inflammatory enough.
No, the left has pivoted while you weren't looking. Since, according to them, there is no such thing as sex, only gender, by definition 'a prejudice against or hatred of women because of their sex' cannot exist.
Similarly, it is logically inconsistent to make any claims of racism or white supremacy, since we all know that race is a social construct; furthermore all human beings in all times and places are equal. All people should be treated with the same dignity, respect and regard for human rights, except, of course, those we label as our enemies. 😛
He couldn't spell it
I doubt it but I don't doubt it either. Does that help?
It's real. Just saw the Twitter. He's insane.
Seconded. Now let' s put him in a stwait jacket, put him in a paddy wagon and transfer him to a place with a wittle wubba woom!
Wow. He’s a laughingstock!
Disgrace to our species.
He is. I wonder if he's actually trying to get booted. Because you don't just up and quit the WEF.
Not really. Buddha would say that (of several alternatives) doubt exists, it does not exist, it both exists and does not exist, and finally, it both neither exists nor non-exists. 🙂 Yes, such language really occurs in the teachings (e.g. Pali Canon); its purpose is to provide an example of unanswerable and ultimately irrelevant speculations. And upon that point there can be no doubt, or can there be...?
ITS REAL go look at his twitter.
I think we need to confront the Toxic Leaders behind the Great Fraudulent Reset.
The more they push back, the more entrenched the resistance will become and the more it will spread and spread. Get the popcorn out (well maybe better stock up the shelves first - cause might be hard to find here in a bit).
Latest from the toxic Canadian PM: "Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive."
Keep Canada more inclusive by excluding the people you disagree with..
It was NOT unanimous by a any means. See my other posts.
I do believe their "Democracy Dies in Darkness" motto is meant to be a call to action for fellow WEF inspired media.
Yes. It's not a warning, it's their statement of intent.
“Democracy dies in darkness”. Isn’t that their mission statement?
don’t know anyone who cares about NYT or Bezos Post... Epoch Times only relevant journal💕🐱🙏🐱💕.
It’s crazy how that organization has solidly and consistently outperformed all the rest. Two years ago I barely knew what is was, and mostly read to better understand China. Starting about May 2020 I upgraded to include the weekly paper - and I’ve kept every one since for my kids. It’s a stack now!!!! And love EpochTV
same... first found out about Epoch when they tossed a free copy of it on my driveway about two years ago... as subscriptions to four other papers got unbearably woke, flat out cancelled all four last year and haven’t missed them at all💕🐱🙏🐱💕
Yes, we too got a free Epoch Times as did many in my neighborhood as some subscriptions were misdelivered to us so I know who these "readers" of news are. Shhhh
While I was (and still am) mad at Berenson for the Malone fracas (and mostly ivermectin), I’m almost inclined to say he’s about the only one in actual journalism I’d listen to right now.
I thought the blow to Malone was a low blow. If that were a pattern I would cancel.
On ivermectin - we actually took it as Covid finally got us in the last week (and was very mild). I can’t prove the ivermectin helped, but I can read charts, studies and listen to actual MDs. I don’t take medical advice from journalists, nor do I take it from politicians, which is why we are unvaccinated and now immune pure bloods. 22 countries have approved ivermectin, in whole or part, specifically for Covid-19. 72 for the treatment of viruses.
A major (less corrupt) Japanese pharmaceutical company came out yesterday and said ivermectin should be the treatment of choice for all coronaviruses. Then there is the below link.
I think Alex dug his heels in early on ivermectin and hasn’t really kept up on that (his bias). I expect him to get slaughtered in the comments when he writes his “I think ivermectin doesn’t work” piece. But…. I also expect him to acknowledge his subscribers and no one is talking about making ivermectin a mandate. The pushes to ban it here have nothing to do with Alex, and everything to do with the fact politicians are owned by big pharma. I don’t mind dissenting opinions.

Yes Epoch Times is a real newspaper with news. And the health section makes you feel good after reading it. An uplifting newspaper.
Yes!!!! Well worth the money, which for all one gets, most especially honesty, isn’t all that bad!!!
Several friends asked me if worth getting ET. Yes and they are so glad they did.
Just be aware that Epoch is not immune to influence. The accusation is made that it's a "CIA paper" and perhaps it is. I too am an occasional (free) reader. At best, you are getting a different point of view than what the Times, Post, etc. bleat. The very fact that you agree with a periodical's point of view indicates you are letting down your guard, your critical reasoning skills. This doesn't mean they are liars. It does mean, say I, that one should always keep some skepticism in reserve. Nobody is above suspicion.
I disagree with your assertion I’m “letting my guard down.”
My affinity for Epoch Times has nothing to do with “agreeing” with anything. On the Chinese side I’ve learned a lot about the culture that I didn’t know at all before reading it. There isn’t a way to agree or disagree in advance of reading about a subject I knew absolutely nothing about at all.
On the Covid side they have supported their articles with actual data and actual outcomes, with links to source documents. “Agreeing” has nothing to do with it. I appreciate the paper has been willing to cover topics others haven’t and has actually engaged in journalism reporting on actual outcomes.
Truth is my point of view. An accurate record of reporting factually observed outcomes. Yes, I have more faith in an article that links to source documents and data is not “letting my guard down.” It’s my expectation. Epoch Times consistently does that.
I’ll happily pay for someone to present evidence that conflates with my current understanding of just about anything. Thats where learning occurs. It strains credulity to claim that my observation they have supported more honest journalism, and based their articles in facts they support with actual evidence more frequently than any other media institution I’ve seen in the past two years is not anyone “letting their guard down.”
The Washington Post is the propaganda arm of the authoritarian left. It was once a great newspaper. Now it’s worth about as much as Pravda, or Der Stürmer.
What about all the trees that gave their lives for such a paper? Where are the environmentalist on this? Not everyone reads a paper online you know!!
A while ago I had an epiphany about that slogan. It means the opposite of what we thought it meant. It’s trying to let everyone know how to kill democracy. Like saying: “to kill weeds you need to spray them with a mix of dish soap and vinegar”. Their slogan is instructional.
The great we, set.
And the jabs the great regret.
🤣🤣🤣
True freedom is only toxic to tyrants and oppressors. Their version of freedom is one of being free to continue their tyranny and oppression.
The only thing that’s toxic are the experimental mRNA jabs and the people that support it.
.... and masks... and PCR....
Then they post a photo of people supporting the truckers which runs counter to their headline. Doh.
Nobody accused the 28 year old woketards at either WaPo or NYT, still arguing with daddy for more allowance each month, of being super geniuses.
"TOXIC" - hahahahahahahahahahahaha! *take a breath* HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHA!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The notion of a free and independent press died long before Jeff Bezos got interested in the failing Washington Post. His purchase was just the last shovel of dirt on the casket.
The Company has owned the post for decades.
The press died about 2002
It's almost as though they think the word "toxic" is some sort of magical imprecation that will vanquish us all by itself...
Well they're running out of magical imprecations. They've already decremented the severity and meaning of "racist", "sexist", "misogynist", "homophobe", "transphobe", and one of their new favorites, "traitor".
I am so earnestly hoping for the joy of one of these morons confronting me with "you're a...." so I can smile cheerily and say "OK" and walk away humming Saraghina's tune (from the film "8 1/2"). May the Lord bestow upon me this gift...
