Nail. Head.

Our presidents and premiers are just satraps doing the bidding of international capital--the overlord. It's pie-in-the-face obvious at this point. Mr. Global (to use Catherine Austin Fitts' words) is showing us his cards, but some still refuse to look.

Very nice! Again, thank you for another splendid read!

An update on GoF***You:

"To simplify the process for our users, we will be refunding all donations to the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser. This refund will happen automatically—you do not need to submit a request. Donors can expect to see refunds within 7-10 business days."

(Nap time. Been up all night. And I want to make the party on Parliament Hill later this afternoon. Honk! Honk!)

I trust you, Norman, but that link doesn't have anything to do with the donations. Maybe a link to gofundme that says that they're going to refund the money would be helpful.

Well, there's the proof that I'd gone too long without sleep. Thought I was posting the correct link. But something else was on the clipboard. Oh, well.

Cheers.

Been there, done that. I hope you finally got some sleep!

GoF***Me has been compromised for a while, just ask any Lesbian in the UK.

Yes that's true - I think this time round, however, the political interference is more obvious. The Trucker convoy, and the people funding it, are just everyday, normal people. The monstrosity of the collusion will be much more apparent to a different demographic now.

Excellent summation. A few additions;

I will continue to use the term left with the thought of them as ..."crazy ideologically possessed fruitloop too far removed from sanity", because that truly is what the majority of them are (I know it's a form of "othering", but it works for me.)

The collusion between our governments and big tech have reached the tipping point where they are mirroring each other. Our governments have done exactly the same thing that goFme has done, taken our "donations" and diverted them to causes which are antithetical to our values. Except our governments will send their Gestapo to our front door at 6am if we decide we don't like what they're doing with our donation.

This systemic insanity can not continue.

I was livid when I saw this, especially because I hadn't heard anything from GoFundMe. Were they planning on informing their donors? I linked from my original donation; they are now saying this:

"However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process. We will automatically refund all contributions directly — donors do not need to submit a request. "

If anyone knows how to get support to the peaceful protesters in Ottawa now, please link.

You sir, are a marvelous journalist. You write with wonderful accessible detail in a way that, I think, could turn many a normie. This peice is everything I'd like to say to my nearest and dearest in a way that I could never manage. Thank you

You are too kind Rob - but the feedback is very much appreciated.

A very large part of my writing is really an attempt to keep myself sane in an increasingly insane world. I try to maintain at least some semblance of humour, rather than give in to the dark thoughts that can be overwhelming when the magnitude of the freakshow begins to sink in once again.

Expand full comment

Yes, the dark thoughts can be overwhelming can't they. That's very much why I started writing the poetry, it was never meant to be a "thing", it just progressed into that as I found it kept me sane. Then a few mate suggested I publish them, so I thought I'd just see what happened.

New crowdfunding at https://www.givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022

Raised over $1,000,000 in less than 24 hours.

Gofundme was allowing people to ask for a refund, but has changed their mind and will automatically refund all contributions.

I'm done with gofundme, this was the last straw. No more contributions or sharing, ever

"The government is seeking to determine how YOU spend your money." Yes, that is their goal, that is, IF they allow you to have any.

Do you think the vax pass will remain and grow or is it doomed now and something new will take its place?

Good question.

My fear is that the *idea* of these authoritarian measures dressed up as "public health" have now been normalised - at least for a significant fraction of the population who believe that lockdowns work, masks work, vaccines should be mandated and that getting vaccinated is a public "duty". The *idea* that it is right to control 'misinformation' in the interest of the public 'good' has also become normalised.

The privilege pass might be on the back-pedal temporarily, but it's only on the back-pedal primarily because people can see it hasn't worked - and not because it's a fucking evil idea in the first place. Some governments have caved because they can no longer hide or massage the data sufficiently well. In one sense it's a blessing that the vaccines have not worked. Can you imagine the struggle we'd be having getting the privilege pass revoked if the vaccines had actually been more effective?

Don't worry, they'll come up with something worse. 😭

I've been wondering the same myself. I fear it will likely never disappear in some places, but I am a cynic.

Still can't comprehend how they could use GoFuckMe in the first place: how could one b so NAIVE!!? Just like the US Truckers getting their Fakebook group deleted!

Apart from getting screwed by LeftTech, u already should stop using them to stop feeding the monster: ALWAYS use NewTech! Boycott BigTech/BigMedia/BigCorporate that r kidnapped by (or pandering to) the left!
