Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.
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.
If you thought disinformation on Facebook was a problem during our election, just wait until you see how it is shredding the fabric of our democracy in the days after.

Look at what has happened in just the past week.
Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.
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.
An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.
We are at war and people close their eyes and count to three, devastated when they find danger upon opening their eyes.
War requires mental & physical commitment & to fight back.
What did the left think fascists would do? Leave?
Winning the election was a momentous victory.
Fascists fight to retain power.
American fascists are fighting to retain power.
The right is willing to fight to the death to preserve their hold on power, and the left is considering deleting Facebook.
Wake up! The next 75 days will determine the future fate of the globe. Are you prepared to risk your life? Take up arms? Defend free and fair elections? The right is willing to defend fascism.
Convinced of our own magnificence & exceptionalism, we overlook existential threat until it’s breathing down our neck.
How many times have I been mansplained that the beliefs and ideology of the right are not fascism? Exuberant belief, but perfectly legitimate politics.
The globe has had 4 years to prepare for this moment. But all the left prepared to do was vote. Not defend that vote.
So confident that good wins over evil, every time.
Toss out the rose coloured glasses and live in reality for awhile.
The fight for human existence has begun.
Yes Biden needs to address the legal issues being passed as rationale for frivolous law suits.
But the battle for a fascist dictatorship is going to be fought amongst the public, not in the courts.
That’s reality.
Principles, virtue and sanctimony are irrelevant now. Defending democracy requires stamina, strength and unity of purpose.
Immediate cessation of gloating and taunts of the right is required.
Public pressure to accept the election outcome must commence. It is not a foregone conclusion.
And for gods sake quit virtue signalling!
We have very little time to get organized.
Support truth, facts and honest journalism.
Join others in peacefully condemning any obstructionism, wherever it’s found. US, Canada, UK, Australia, France, etc.
Charlie Angus is continuing to gaslight Canadians with a fake scandal that’s been debunked.
Obstructionists are denying reality and refusing to address urgent issues across the globe.
Everything I’ve prepared for is now upon us.
Get in the game folks. Reality sucks, but it’s the best chance you have of surviving the next 75 days.
The coup d’état is not limited to the US. It is a coordinated global attempt to wipe out democracy permanently.
Sometimes conspiracies are real. This one unfortunately is very real.

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.

This is exactly what we need to do.
And remember, Harper stacked public service with loyalists. RCMP, judiciary, senate, government departments.
Denazification was the official term to describe the processes to de-platform nazis from all aspects of German society after the war.

Now the US must do the same.

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.
Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.
As a Priest and Bishop-Elect, I\u2019d ask that the UCP send Christmas greetings without the wholly inappropriate inference of divine sanction for their government. There are so many things wrong with their use of these words from the Prophet Isaiah it\u2019s hard to know where to start. https://t.co/rwOxVzvnI5

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.

I made this mistake with a few Amazon threads. I thought because my first one worked, I could keep the story going. But they didn't have as clear a narrative arc and were much less popular.

- Forward messages received mostly are written in vernacular languages. They are all well scripted.
