Will the Freedom Convoy lead the way to freedom?

The Freedom Convoy 2022 in Canada started out with demands for an end to vaccine requirements for truck drivers who cross the US border and has blossomed into a global protest that has inspired truck drivers in the United States to drive to Washington D.C. and to stage protests similar to those going on in Ottawa.
There is no doubt that these massive organized protests could grow into a movement that will change the direction of politics in Canada, the United States, and around the world, and will bring an end to the COVID-19 fraud and the dangerous vaccine mandates.
Such an outcome, however, is by no means guaranteed. There remains a serious risk that the Freedom Convoy will be manipulated as a color revolution so as to focus the overflowing anger of citizens on a narrow range of issues that fall within the spectrum of conventional politics, and thereby discourage the organization of citizens into institutions capable of overthrowing the corrupt regimes in Canada and the United States.
The Freedom Convoy has drawn in citizens in a positive manner. However, Freedom Convoy rallies often focus on the personal flaws of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the incompetence and greed of the government, and the ineptitude of the media. The memes about Trudeau hiding from the truckers are so slick and predictable as to suggest a political game, planned by consulting firms, rather than a social revolution.
When Elon Musk, a central figure in the COVID-19 tyranny, praised the truckers, and later criticized GoFundMe for holding up donations to support the strike, the cat was out of the bag. Musk has gone to tremendous lengths to crush any form of organized opposition to his role in the takeover of the global economy. His embrace is the kiss of death.
The success or failure of the Freedom Convoy will depend on whether this movement develops leadership that is independent of the establishment in the United States and Canada.
If the leadership of the Freedom Convoy is truly independent, and if it is willing to take tremendous risks and expose the true nature of how policy is made by billionaires and investment banks, and by their consulting firms and private intelligence agencies, then yes, it will offer us hope.
If, however, it focuses on politicians and personalities, promotes made-for-television conflicts between politicians in the opposition and in power that suggest to the public, falsely, that voting Trudeau or Biden out of office will help to solve this institutional crisis, then, sadly, we are being led down the rabbit hole again.
The billionaires will just buy off more people, from the left and the right, set up more fake NGOs, toothless political movements, fake revolutions, and any number of bogus institutions meant to confuse and to distract. They have drawers full of stupid, throwaway politicians that they will bait you into hating.
Attacking the Trudeau and Biden administrations, while remaining silent about Blackrock, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Oracle, Walmart, Bank of America, and a host of other parasitic multinational corporations who planned this COVID-19 sneak attack along with their lackeys at DARPA and the World Economic Forum, is simply you being played.
I understand the value of focusing on one simple topic so as to get the attention of citizens who are too busy or distracted to understand complex issues.
Although the problem with vaccine mandates is easy to understand, and a topic that the corrupt media is willing to report about, making it the main topic means abandoning a revolutionary posture and compromising with the system at a deep level.
This focus on vaccine mandates is not threatening to the billionaires pushing for the destruction of civil society and the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few.
The rich and powerful want us to waste our time debating COVID-19 policy within a hopelessly corrupt political system.
There is too much wriggle room in the opposition to vaccine mandates that allows for plants and lackeys to creep in and to make the debate revolve around the word “mandatory.” The compromised opposition can then uphold the defense of “medical freedom,” an “I’m okay; you’re okay” approach that suggests all citizens have the right to decide whether they take the vaccines or not.
It is like saying whether you are shipped to a death camp or not should be a personal decision.
The vaccines are, by their nature, deadly, and the only legitimate position to take is that they must be halted immediately, and that those who have produced them, publicized them, and lobbied for them should face criminal prosecution.
Moreover, opposition focused on vaccine mandates overlooks how multinational corporations wish to control the daily lives of citizens, and to reduce them to slavery. Vaccines are but one tool in this larger operation, and a myopic concern with vaccines at a time when the powerful are prepared to shift to another strategy like war with Russia, or enhanced climate change, or food scarcity, is a major liability.
Is the Freedom Convoy ready to take on those powers? That is the question for us.
Are they ready for the long haul, to find ways to feed themselves, and to continue the struggle when they have been completely cut out of the economic system? Are they building systems for communication outside of Google, Verizon, Twitter, and Facebook, the tools of multinational corporations that are inherently hostile to any effective political movement?
We watched how Occupy Wall Street was shut down, torn apart, and its leaders jailed on false charges when they tried to organize effective opposition. That is what has happened so far when people have made plans for real resistance. If a movement is not treated in such a brutal manner, it is natural to be suspicious.
We are waiting for the truckers to demand that the assets of Pfizer, Blackrock, Moderna, and Vanguard be seized. We want them to demand that all related documents be declassified and that the criminal shadow government running both countries, which has allowed for experimental drugs to be used on citizens without any scientific justification, and without any financial liability be exposed and then that this system be dismantled.
Del Bigtree and the new populism
Del Bigtree, host of “The Highwire” and long-time anti-vaccine activist, has become a central figure promoting the extension of the Freedom Convoy 2022 to the United States, and to the world. Bigtree delivered a powerful speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial on January 22 as part of the “Defeat the Mandates DC” rally, a speech that was much in line with the Freedom Convoy agenda.
Del Bigtree represents the potential for a powerful populist political movement to emerge in the United States, based on opposition to vaccines, and riding on the coattails of the Freedom Convoy.
Bigtree’s speech was extremely articulate, promoting a national and international coalition to challenge the COVID-19 regime, and to hold those in office accountable to the Nuremberg Codes. His invitation to join in the struggle was broad and inclusive.
Tellingly, his anger was directed at the media for lying, at the government of the United States for incompetence, and at the doctors and specialists for collaboration.
He yelled out to Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden, “We will hold you responsible!”
But there was no mention of billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in his speech, or of the investment funds like Blackrock and Vanguard, who tell Fauci and Biden what to do through their lobbyists.
He also injected God into this speech in a manner that echoed Trump politics.
He spoke, “The truth always prevails. We are victorious in truth because we are endowed with one great power: the power of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—not given to us by this Capitol, or by this government, but by God himself. We are the light warriors. We are the representations of God, our God, who inspired the founding fathers to write the greatest document for freedom and liberty that has ever been created.”
This reading of the founding of the United States is not accurate. Most of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution wished to establish a nation that was not founded on religious principles so as to avoid horrific religious wars that had wracked Europe in the previous century.
We also need to ask whether a political leader like Bigtree, who rose to fame through his criticisms of vaccines, is ready to address the takeover of the political economy by global finance, or to take on the 9.11 fraud. Perhaps political expediency suggests that he not bite off more than he can chew. But can COVID-19 be ended without dismantling the shadow government established to launch 9.11? It was precisely that shadow government that enabled the COVID-19 regime.
What we must do
The billionaires have increased their wealth fantastically as a result of the lockdowns and vaccine mandates, the radical restrictions on travel, transport, and logistics for ordinary people, and the control of national and international finance by the few.
We need to hear from protesters in Ottawa and Washington about how that wealth will be taken away from them, taken away by whom, and how will it be returned to the people who have been the victims of this crime.
I want to raise a final concern about the noble efforts of these truckers while I give them my full support, and I pledge to do everything in my power to take down this corrupt system hand in hand with them.
Truckers are powerful because corporations have destroyed family farming and local economies, and have made us dependent on products that are shipped long distances across oceans, trains that cross entire continents, and highways that cut through farmland. This dependency for the essentials of life upon middlemen, on petroleum interests, and on the whims of big business is a terrible danger for our citizens. Truckers are powerful precisely because of this rigged system.
Truckers need to think deeply about how they can transform our economy from within so as to ensure that citizens enjoy true independence and freedom.
There is a serious risk that the shadow governments behind Ottawa and Washington politicians will seize upon the sincere efforts of truckers as cover for a covert plan to shut down food distribution, and to stealthily launch a campaign to starve the population into submission. We already know that Bill Gates and others have been buying up enormous amounts of farmland in the United States, and that factory farms have been launched that have allowed corporations to completely control food production without the presence of farmers.
What if the next step is to blame truckers for a radical disruption of logistics that is being planned by hidden players and that leaves citizens scrambling for food?
Are truckers, rightfully angry about vaccine mandates, prepared to take on these hidden forces who may manipulate boycotts and strikes for their nefarious purposes?
We must make sure that the Freedom Convoy achieves its full potential and is not thwarted or manipulated by the billionaires.
