ENTITLEMENT. https://t.co/PmdZEUd3us

 Seems conservatives have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

How does it feel to the average Albertan to be considered second class? Apparently UCP, CPC and other conservatives across Canada are exempt from COVID public health orders.
I wonder if that means anti maskers are first class citizens? What about church pastors and parishioners? Are they first class status too?

But teachers, physicians, police, first responders, grocery workers, and every other Albertan is considered second class.
We don’t get exemptions to avoid public health orders.

What kind of government flouts law and order?
This is not explained by the confused and poorly informed “freedom” focussed Q’Anon and the fanatical Evangelical Christian’s who evidently can’t manage to worship at home.

These are fully informed political aids and politicians. Refusing to be limited by public health orders.
It’s their job to understand the public health orders made by the CMOH. Then communicate those orders on behalf of the provincial premier.

Don’t people need special permission to take vacation flights? They do. From the Premier or their minister.
While it’s stunning that the UCP have crossed a boundary of trust, what I find stunning is the absence of rage at this revelation.

Here is a more recent list of the number of people that travelled recently.

I got this from @Norlaine
New list:
-Michael Florian
-Eliza Snider
-Matt Wolf
-Nathan Neudorf (although his spin is he has "remained home" (in Canada?)
-Tracy Allard
-Pat Rehn
-Jamie Huckabay
-Jeremy Nixon
- Tanya Fir
So, we're up to 9.
That’s 9 people who completely ignored the covid public health orders made by Kenney and which were reinforced with a federal ban on non-essential travel.

And people on are moderately annoyed at best?!?
This government is killing people with a lackadaisical casual approach to public health. Our healthcare infrastructure is about to collapse. And all people can muster is stern annoyance?

WTF ALBERTA?!? It’s time to get mad and seek justice. This is injustice.
It means many have normalized UCP corruption and are experiencing learned helplessness.

Learned helplessness is when you’re resigned to accept a government that kills with policy and also has the arrogance and hubris to absolve themselves from the orders they decree.
It means you’re telling that government it’s okay to abuse you because you have given up and are adapting to the abuse.

That’s what voter apathy is. And it’s caused by the consolidation of power like this display of utter contempt for the population of Alberta.
This is an egregious demonstration of intolerable contempt for the citizens of Alberta.

This information should be inducing rage, not moderate annoyance.
We should be picking up pitchforks and torches, not verbally castigating the worst offenders and grumbling about being ruled for the next 2 + years by people who obviously have no regard for people whom they dominate and for whom they control the levers of life and death.
This is intolerable. Citizens cannot be expected to accept the feigned apologies, with the theatrics of tears included, in the face of such utter scorn for the people of this province.
We are the problem if we allow this to go unchallenged and genuflect to the establishment of a higher class of citizen that neither is obliged to follow the rules they order nor protect the citizens they’ve deemed second class, of whom they been entrusted to govern.
If you understand anything about power dynamics, this is called consolidation of power. Completely absolved of following the rules, and given a pass for endangering the lives of the citizens they are supposed to be protecting.
If we allow this to be okay, we are giving tacit approval for Kenney to establish totalitarian autocracy.

This is the type of power as citizens that our Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives us the ability to loudly and peacefully object and force to resign.
If we don’t do that now, we may as well shut down any further discussion and study ways of coping with a dictator and becoming second or even third class citizens.

This is a 3 alarm warning ⚠️ 🚨🚨🚨

It’s time to get vocal.
We cannot do this by protesting in the streets. But we can protest by making phone calls, writing letters and demanding UCP resign.

Clearly Kenney considers himself above reproach. It’s up to us to remind him that’s BS. He and his party must resign.
We would be no worse off with vacant seats in the legislature. Absent because they are vacationing or absent because we fired them is no different.

There will be no fascist totalitarian consolidation of power in Alberta.

This is one of the most important threads I’ve read in the last year. Maybe more.

@PaulDoroshenko hits the ball out of the park!

This is exactly what we need to do.

And remember, Harper stacked public service with loyalists. RCMP, judiciary, senate, government departments.


We need Denazification in Canada too!

There can be no tolerance for intolerance.

Many are opining about free speech. In Canada we have freedom of expression and it comes with some caveats. Harmful hate speech is not free.

We have been inundated with hate speech for decades.

It must stop. We must remove the fascists from power and eradicate the platforms they use to build support.

I’ve taught both my children by age 9 what fascism is and what it looks like. I can be done.

School based education is a must to nullify hatred.

But what about the adults? First we remove the ability to indoctrinate through the internet. Mainstream media needs to be purged of nazi sympathizers. And the internet needs regulation. Because some people cannot be trusted to refrain from hate speech.

You got a problem with restrictions on speech, take a look at the US where any form of speech is free. Lying, disinformation, promotion of hatred and psychological manipulation propaganda. And the result is January 6, 2021 attempted “patriot” insurrection.

Part two. Explaining where the plutocracy’s beliefs and values of treating people like pawns to be sacrificed at a whim originates.

It’s fascism.

💥NOTE: These threads are meant to be consumed in entirety, not just the first tweet.


What is the common characteristic of all fascist regimes?

Social Darwinism.

Fascists believe they are the epitome of human evolution or divine creation. They often credit god with bestowing cream of the crop status on them alone. But it’s based on Social Darwinism.

For a myriad of reasons, fascists believe they and they alone are the chosen people. They have been given divine permission to exert dominion over the globe and it’s resources, which includes all other people. There is little anyone can do to sway that opinion.


Social Darwinism was used to justify colonialism and the brutal treatment of indigenous peoples and dispossession of their land. All to enrich the plutocratic elite. It also justifies how the wealthy view the poor/workers as chattel to control & command at whim to make profits.


Social Darwinism is the rationale for human bondage. It goes back several centuries. Whether it’s rule by the fittest or control of human breeding for the best profits is irrelevant. The belief that some humans are BETTER than others is central to fascism.

As we wait for the transition of power from despot to democrat, Facebook (Zuckerberg) has taken it upon itself to aid in the obstruction of that power transfer, facilitation of an insurrection narrative and disregard for the will of the American electorate.


In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.

Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.

As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.

Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.

Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.

And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.

As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.

An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.

Still believe Calgary protests are peaceful?

Not so much!

Not since Calgary police began enforcing the public health edict for masks and for gatherings.


Pair this violent Calgary protest with this opinion piece.

Is it any wonder that “liberty” ideologues are rebelling against Public Health Measures after the premier gave them every indication their freedom was superior to everyone else’s right to

We have evidence that Kenney is instigating STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.

This is what Trump is currently using to effect a coup in the US.

Maybe a journalist can ask Kenney why he stoked the ire of far right immediately prior to ordering a lockdown?

As Albertans, we are unfamiliar with the tactics used by fascists. Albertans are naive to subterfuge and sedition.

Stochastic terrorism is common in eastern European nations. Russia & Al Qaida use these tactics all the time, but with much more regularity, brutality & deaths.

Here’s an article from 2011. Spelling out the process of creating a “missile” or “lone wolf” by appealing to those individuals who are mentally unstable. Experts have known how stochastic terrorism works for well over a decade.

A lot of people are trying to figure out what UCP means by putting this biblical quote out into the twitter verse at Christmas.

Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.


The quote is often repeated at Christmas. “A child is born...” makes reference to the birth of Jesus. Makes sense.

But what does it mean?

Christians (and other religious observers with their religious texts) have made an art form out of interpreting what passages mean.

To those most radically devout (some might say zealously faithful), hidden divine meanings are gleaned from “correctly” reading the bible.

That’s what Dominionists believe. That god himself wrote the bible. Through inspiration of the actual authors, & only they can interpret.

And thus, the “inerrant“ bible serves as a strict road map to save ones soul.

Many devout Christians view the passage as a prophecy made centuries before the birth of Christ. A promise made by god through one of his prophets. Jews interpret the passage very differently.

The Anglican Priest is (obviously) correct about this being supersessionism, and a form of Anti-Semitism.

Troublesome as it is for a Canadian provincial govt to be tweeting out Anti-Semitic propaganda, that’s not the only meaning this passage has for Dominionist Christians.

Ok. Here we are. Again. Doom@and gloom. Ya know.....POTUS never says anything without there being something coded within it. Including his short speech last night.

Anyone catch the color of the tie?
It was a baby blue tie with hints of pink. You know. Nursery colors

Because what was it all about? The CHILDREN.

So first off. When we look at numbers of missing children in the 90’s during the Clinton Child Catching and Cooking Machine and THEN compare that with the #’s of that pesky “V” from Chiiiina” ...

There were over 900k kids missing EACH YEAR during their Reign of terror... was there ANY alert or warning about an increase yearly of child snatching?

Nope.

So when you create something in a lab and blame it on “bat soup” in a market... with a survival rate of 99.4%..

Any alarm or warning?

Oh just a “Pan”demic level 6 ( it’s so amusing that these sick pricks use the half man / half goat god Pan along with demic with a level of 6 to stress the pure evil in this)

I to o is 6 spaces
C to n is 11 spaces.

Demic to demon is 17 letter shifts

the strange reality of strict calvinism is that it makes a mockery of God's claims to hate, abhort, or even be theoretically opposed to evil

the calvinist solution to the problem of evil, which I have *literally heard from the lips of a faithful well-catechized Presbyterian* is, "well, all that happens is God's will, and to do His will is to manifest goodness, and goodness gives God joy, so God must rejoice in evil"

The hypothetical I gave was, "Suppose that there was a city of Christians, and a bomber flew over the city, and the guy at the controls tripped and accidentally armed and dropped a bomb, and wiped out the city: is that God's will? What does God think of that?"

His answer in addition to the above cited the Flood, Soddom, and Nineveh.

Because we all know that God's response to the Flood was, "I REALLY liked that, it was AWESOME, it satisfied my will and purposes to obliterate my creation!"

Once you have drunk the "but muh sovrintee" Kool-Aid you cannot escape the argument that literally everything that happens is not just God's will in some philosophical sense, but His will in the sense of "things that bring him pleasure."

Thread: One of the things demons and fallen spirit beings want to do is replicate their torment in your marriage and family. Part of that strategy is to encourage us to treat each other with the same savagery they treat each other, since they have no capacity for love or...

compassion, even for their fellow fallen spirit beings. Even when a demon helps another demon it is only in self interest, never loyalty or love. This is what they hope to do in your family and marriage. Marriage is the foundation of culture. If you can destroy marriage, you can

destroy culture. If they can destroy the relationship between husband and wife, they can destroy the spiritual formation of the children. Demons are keenly aware of the social structure put in place by God and where to launch their attacks against it.

Marriage is properly defined as a solemn contract in which a man and a woman confer bodily rights, among other things, for the sake of procreation. This is strictly a formal theological definition of marriage. Marriage is solemn because it is formalized in public, and witnessed..

by a minister of the church. It is a contract because there is a conferral of bodily and other rights. Now some might ask, isn't marriage a covenant? Yes and no, depending on how you define the word. If we define a covenant as a solemn contract, then yes. In any valid contract,..

Ok, I'll hop on this Elizabeth Warren/Native American testing bandwagon (gently and non-politically).

I've been a @23andMe customer for a while, and have followed their ancestry updates closely.

All is more or less as expected....except for this bit about Native American.


The family is almost completely composed of Spanish peasants (from various regions) who emigrated, along with a massive wave in the late 19th-cent./early 20th-cent., to Cuba back when it was a booming economy (richer than Spain's) and worth emigrating to (Communism killed that).

Also, the native population of Cuba was annihilated early on---was the first place the Spanish colonized after all. Having a native background in Cuba would be like having the same in, say, Massachusetts, particularly if you're (say) mostly Irish. Just really, really unlikely.

(Note: the North African/Arab background is less mysterious. The Iberian peninsula was part of the Muslim world for centuries. It would be odd *not* to have some Arab/Middle Eastern background coming from Spain. Given the family is mostly from Northern Spain, it's small though.)

I have a Spanish passport, have been back to the ancestral villages in Spain, seen the church where my grandmother was baptized, my grandfather told me stories about growing up as the child of Spanish colonists in rural Cuba. The native bit just clashes with all the family lore.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"


The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.

 Tiruchirappalli district.  Mariyamman here is worshipped as Samayapurathal a form of Parashakti.
Amman vigraham here is made of sand and clay so


no abhishekam done to the main vigraham. Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is one of the famous Shakthi Sthal of Tamilnadu.

Story says that paramashiva created Kali, out of the poison that he drank during samudra mathanam.  As Devi originated from the Kaalakoota/ halahala poison,


thus the name Kaali. Mariamman is believed to be a form of Kaali, and is also known as Mahamayi. It is also believed that Maharaja Dasharatha offered his prayers here.

Mariamman is Parashakti herself who blesses with prosperity and she is believed to cure all diseases.
