Canada returns to lead the fight in the Covid Wars

Of all things, Canada is now taking the lead in the fight against the Covid Wars

From the movie made from the book, The Devil’s Brigade, which recounts the formation, training, and first mission of the 1st Special Service Force, a joint American–Canadian commando unit, known as the Devil’s Brigade.

It’s been a long time since Vimy Ridge but what was there then is here now. This is an early convoy from 1917.

Canadians Returning from Vimy Ridge 1917, First World War

Now this, from Donna Laframboise, also a Canadian: Dispatch From Canada.

This is a historic moment. Public support for the ‘it’s time to move on, we need our lives back’ trucker convoy has been astonishing. And wholly organic.

No political party organized this. Rather, ordinary Canadians have waited at the end of their own driveways, at crossroads, on highway overpasses, and at designated staging grounds. For hours. In sub-zero weather. All through this week. Across this vast nation.

To enthusiastically cheer on the truckers. To thank them. To shower them with food, money, and gifts.

For the first time in two years, millions of people feel a sense of hope.

The report below begins with the words “so-called” which is typical of the media everywhere who have no taste for freedom or seek to understand or defend it.

“A tiny minority with unacceptable views”

There is some resistance growing to the insanities associated with Covid across the world, with the Canadian truck convoys leading the pack. It’s not even that they are anti-vaxxine as such, just anti being forced to take the vaxxines and then each of the mandated “boosters” to participate in normal life, like going to the shops, sitting in a cafe or taking in a movie.

The Great Reset means that the nitwits who we have inadvertently installed as political leaders, or the complete nincompoops who have had one success in setting up Facebook or Twitter are now to be our leaders in perpetuity.

Is there actually anyone in public life stupider than Daniel Andrews? Perhaps the Premier of Queensland. Or the chaps who run WA or the NT.

We are ruining our lives for a mild disease that if you find you have it, the protocol is to stay home for a week.

The tiny minority with unacceptable views was the nonsense statement about the truckers from the Canadian Prime Minister whose greatest previous accomplishment are found listed here.

These are the people who are the tiny minority with unacceptable views. 

The price mechanism is the single most important element of the market economy

Broken supply-chains are the story of the moment but what I find truly remarkable is that virtually no one any longer understands that it is the price system, and the price system alone that allows the supply-chain to operate. I have discussed this before. This is virtually no longer part of the economics curriculum but if you would like to understand why it matters, there is this that you might find of interest: I, Mechanical Pencil: Why a socialist economy can never work.

This has come to mind having come across this today: “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy”. This is the introduction to the article.

Alfred Henry Lewis’ observation dating back to 1896 still rings true. There is a thin line between society and anarchy. It’s thinner than we want to admit.

Here is the final para of the article:

There is a thin line in society, between food and anarchy, freedom and repression, liberty and tyranny, safety and street violence. It’s thinner than we want to admit, and it’s being pushed to its limits on purpose by ideologies that want to deconstruct our society. Tearing down society is a dangerous game.

Absolutely true, but nowhere mentioned in the article is the essential role of the price mechanism in bringing food to your table, along with everything else. It is the price mechanism that makes the capitalist system indispensable. That this is not common knowledge makes our way of life vulnerable to being driven into the sand by socialist loons such as the American President who has done much to undermine the supply-chain networks across the United States.

“Pure Trump” is what we need and want

I wrote a book of my own on Donald Trump which, if you ask me, is still about the best book available on America’s 44th president: The Art of the Impossible: A Blog History of the Election of Donald J. Trump as President. If it’s still in print, I cannot recommend a book that will provide you with the real Donald Trump more than this one.

Also published by Connor Court as is this one, a book reviewed a few days ago at Quadrant Online under the heading: Donald Trump, Magnificent Vulgarian. The book was written by Richard Alston, who ought to know something about politics but perhaps has lost a bit of feel for the subject in his years on the sidelines. Is Donald Trump’s appeal all that difficult to understand? Seems so. This is by the reviewer discussing Alston’s book:

Alston is no apologist for Trump. Quite the contrary. While seeing Trump as the ultimate political risk-taker, trailblazer and disruptive contrarian, Alston lists many of Trump’s personal character failings on no less than a dozen occasions, including: ‘not only an amoralist but a true vulgarian who fails the character test’; ‘brutish vulgarian’; ‘eccentric high achiever’; ‘disorganised’; ‘vindictive’; and of having the ‘morals of an alley cat’ to name a few. To counter these character failings, Alston does however describe Trump as having a ‘magnetic attraction’, acknowledges his ‘political bravery … [and] invaluable business experience’, and his ‘strategic and deliberate’ approach.

There may be no one in Australia who has paid closer attention to Donald Trump than I have, with the added advantage that I grew up in North America and watched the American political system from close at hand, although admittedly from the northern side of Lake Ontario.

This is how the review ends.

Much commentary in this area indulges in disgust for Trump’s personal qualities. Alston records his distaste for Trump’s character, but as a prelude to a serious review and critique of Trump’s record in office. While the dust is a long way from settling on the Trump presidency, Alston’s contribution is a stake in the ground. It is now on others to offer their qualified opinions.       

You want my opinion. Alston is pandering to the left who could find no policy issues to argue against so chose to argue about Trump’s personality. And as it happens, Trump, the greatest American president of my lifetime, may yet return to the White House in 2024.

I will just note that the comments on this review at QoL largely take my side of the issue, with this one mentioned not just because I agree with it but also because it is short and to the point.

By the living daylights you lot are hard markers. For one, he [Trump, that is] is conservative in his economic policies and pro business. Secondly, he has incredible poise. Witness when he arrived for the State of the Union address. OK, he’s a New York property billionaire, however being President of the most powerful nation ever in the history of our world is another thing altogether. He arrived in the room as though it was his parent’s home. Totally self assured and confident in his bearing. This behaviour is not presidential? So is speaking at Klu Klux Clan [sic] funerals presidential [here reminding us that Biden spoke at Robert Byrd’s funeral]? Which President had an Italian opera singer sing Ave Maria on the White House portico? So is Christian and proud of it not Presidential?

It seems commentators compete to damn him for what are essentially peccadillos. It not as though leaders of the western world are thick on the ground.

Exactly as I think of these things myself. I will add in the last of the comments since it also gets to the point that needs to be made.

To say the obvious, Trump would not have become president were there not a deep underlying comprehension among many US citizens that the Left is Evil.
And so, the Left had to destroy Trump. Which they did.
The mainstream media is 90% Evil Left – as it is in Australia too, of course.
It’s just in Australia too few non-Leftists can see this, or rather are too complacent to bother to look.

It turns out, however, that Donald Trump has just released a new book of his own that is filled with all of the kinds of statements Richard Alston doesn’t like. It is reviewed here: Trump Book Publisher Sergio Gor: ‘We Can’t Keep Up with the Demand’. Seems like there are some people on our side of the fence who like the kinds of things PDT says, and the way he says them. Here are some samples from the review.

“This is 100 percent pure President Donald Trump. And about 50 of them, he hand wrote the captions,” he said, noting that people “love” seeing the handwritten captions printed underneath some of the pictures with Trump’s “famous black sharpie.”

“You can’t come up with these captions if you tried. It’s 100 percent original him, calling Nancy Pelosi effing crazy. It’s things along those lines. Talking about the wall. Talking about China. Talking about Russia. Talking about Congress. Every single thing that happened over the last four years is in there,” Gor said, noting that the book sold 200,000 copies in the first six weeks of its release….

Another image features Pelosi with a sour face, prompting Trump’s caption, “Disagreeing with Nancy Pelosi — such a natural thing.”

Overall, Gor said readers get the “pure Trump” in the book.

Getting “the pure Trump” is what people want. One can only hope he will be in the White House again 2025-2029. Again, it will be what he does that matters most, although what he says will also matter along with the way he says what he says.

“A massive fraud has been visited upon a fearful and credulous public”

From David Solway at The Pipeline: Something Wicked Really Does This Way Come. His first para:

After almost two years of intensively studying the chemistry of viruses, the nature of the Covid pandemic and the policies adopted to combat it, I’ve concluded, as have many others, that a massive fraud has been visited upon a fearful and credulous public. And after examining innumerable podcasts and blockbuster video interviews conducted with highly credentialed virologists and public health experts, most recently with Professor of Medicine at Stanford University Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, leading cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, the inventor of core mRNA technology Dr. Robert Malone, and Michael Yeadon, a former VP at Pfizer, what I once thought sounded like a conspiracy theory may well be a conspiracy fact.

David goes on with this.

We learn that hospitals have been financially incentivized to report and inflate the numbers of doubtful cases and mortalities, and that deaths “with Covid” were routinely conflated with “from Covid.” Injuries and deaths due to the vaccines have been largely downplayed and hidden; voluntary reporting sites such as VAERS in the U.S. and Yellow Card in the U.K. are grossly unreliable. We learn that the vaccinated are susceptible to infection and shedding at rates equal to or higher than the unvaccinated. Emergency-use legislation shields Big Pharma from legal proceedings initiated by those who have suffered from the vaccines. Meanwhile, as former New York Times investigative reporter Alex Berenson reports, quoting the U.K. Office for National Statistics, the vaccinated are dying at twice the proportional rate of the unvaccinated.

And if you are unaware of this, you have not been paying attention.

In the words of Robert Malone and Peter Navarro, the vaccines “can trigger serious cardiac and thrombotic conditions, menstrual cycle disruptions, Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome and anaphylaxis. Male children appear particularly prone to myocarditis while, post-vaccination, individuals may have suppressed immunities that make them vulnerable to other diseases.” Young children of all ages, who have no need for protection against Covid, are at considerable risk from the inoculations, and pregnant women are prone to miscarriages and stillbirths. These Pharma products have been rushed to market and have not undergone the standard 5-12 years of testing. No one knows what the future portends for those who have received the jab.

You might say that the following is his conclusion, except that it is only about half way through the article.

The circumstantial evidence for nefarious intentions among government leaders and bureaucrats, Big Pharma, media, left-wing plutocrats, academia, the World Economic Forum, and the medical establishment is impossible to ignore. The extent of the alleged collusion is mind-boggling, and yet it seems entirely plausible given the astronomical sums and consolidated power involved. 

You should read the whole thing. We try to pretend that only if one lived in a Bond movie could anything like this be true, but sometime, perhaps this time, reality may turn out to be stranger than fiction.

Vaxxinating children-evil, cruel and utterly heartless

That’s just the song. To hear the song and see the harm these vaxxines have done to children go to this link: Silence: The story of COVID vaccine victims.

Video of the silenced vaccine victims.

Lyrics and vocals by Julie Elizabeth who is vaccine injured.

Produced by the staff of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation.

Here’s the vid but you will have to click on the link to watch it yourself.

No vaxxines for children!! This is from a friend who writes:

My daughter had covid… she had fever for 2 days but she is now back to running around the house as normal. I tested again but still negative – never had a symptom even though our family decided we could not be bothered to isolate from each other in our small apartment.

I thought I’d have some fun so I made this poster for my friend’s mate (who I don’t personally know, hence the names blacked out) who is adamant these “vaccines” are so incredibly awesome.

Plus this: MIT scientist’s warning for parents about the COVID vaccine.

And here is the vid again in case it can be seen directly. Otherwise, as before, just click the link.

Covidiocy may be about to end

Are we beginning to see the beginning of the end of Covidiocy? First this: England Ends All COVID Passports, Mask Mandates, Work Restrictions. Undoubtedly pushed along by the fact that no one in authority takes Covid seriously, only the media and the population. That is why all over the political class there are so few who wear masks in public unless they are being knowingly photographed. So in the UK:

Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home guidance will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday.

And now this as well: Europe considers new COVID-19 strategy: Accepting the virus.

With one of Europe’s highest vaccination rates and most pandemic-battered economies, the [Spanish] government is laying the groundwork to treat the next infection surge not as an emergency but an illness that is here to stay. Similar steps are under consideration in neighboring Portugal and in Britain.

A few examples.

Do you think that if they thought there was any serious danger they would behave like this?

The death of America

From Midnight trains and daylight robbery which is modern Los Angeles. A comment at the post.

I live in the greater Los Angeles area. In the past two years or so, we have witnessed:
1) Mass rioting and arson;
2) Chronic “smash and grab” thefts/robberies at stores by mobs of “youths”;
3) And now, actual train robberies, the kind of which used to be resolved at the point of a Winchester by the railroad police.
All of this has been overlaid by omnipresent homeless encampments and hordes of drug addled and mentally ill zombies wandering throughout the area. They are this society’s “sacred cows”: They sleep where they want, steal what they want, and defecate wherever it suits them. They are, of course, immune from any consequences. Can someone convince me that we are not witnessing the collapse of civilization?

You would think that in a democratic polity there would be some kind of automatic effort to fix what is wrong but there is no evidence of any kind of repair in the minds of the people who live in these wastelands. Here is a more accurate representation of the problem.
