Keep On Trucking

As I write this, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has declared a state of emergency to allow police to arrest and fine truckers who continue to stay parked in Ottawa, the Capitol City of Canada – and anywhere else in Canada. It also allows the state to seize the bank accounts or property of anyone it suspects of disagreeing with the government without a warrant or any evidence at all. Meantime, Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer (you know, the one who looks like the evil Professor Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter series – and never encountered a human right she didn’t want to stomp out like a bug) sent American tow trucks to start removing trucks from the bridge between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario.

How deeply ashamed I am that American tow truck drivers did what Canadian tow truck drivers refused to do: help bust up genuinely peaceful, patriotic protesters in Canada and add to their persecution. Hopefully this will have all the impact of a puff of smoke in the wind, but it is a moment of deep mortification for those of us who thought Americans would not just blindly follow orders to hurt people with whom we should live fellowship.

The Teamsters Union in America has formally denounced the Truck Convoy while waxing eloquent about Joe Biden’s marvelous economic leadership. Perhaps this will further alienate rank-and-file Teamsters from their delusional and corrupt leadership. But perhaps it demonstrates that some unions will support Democrats no matter how badly those Dems crush their freedom and decimate their livelihoods. It is like watching a pitiful dog continue to lick the boot of the man who beats him.

In all of this, the only significant violence has come from the Antifa man who tried to run over and kill protesters. (That one got memory-holed fast, didn’t it? No word on whether leftist MPs are working, like Kamala Harris did for violent Antifa and BLM rioters, to bail him out of jail – while squealing in terror at the bouncy castles truckers set up for their kids.)

So, is this the beginning of the end for the truckers’ Freedom Convoy? Not hardly. The truckers have reacted with shrewd prudence to every challenge, acting boldly without being baited into acting brashly. Already the Freedom Convoy has inspired movements throughout the world – notably in Australia, New Zealand, Austria and France – to imitate them. Like a snowball rolling downhill, it is going to continue to pick up steam and grow bigger. Meantime, the reaction of many Canadian officials (and sorrowfully, some American officials) has contrasted with ever growing clarity who the good guys and who the bad guys are, in living color. Canadian officials have been making up “laws” as they go along, anything to try to shut down the rights and hopes of actual peaceful protesters. In France, Parisian police teargassed protesters, including children. They also broke a protester’s legs, then dragged him in the most painful way possible into custody, hoping to tamp down the growing rebellion throughout the world. Besides arresting peaceful protesters and seizing their property, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, bizarrely, vandalized three pieces of heavy equipment to make them inoperable. Why? Because. Two years ago many people were furious that Antifa and BLM raged through cities while police were ordered to stand down or to protect the violent rioters. Now, some elements of police – who have no regard for honor, decency or liberty – have become this year’s version of the fascist Antifa and BLM activists. I beg of you, police, purge these little fascists from your ranks. The left already hates you and would destroy you: if you forfeit the support of ordinary people, all that will be left is lawless anarchy. Step back from the abyss of your own destruction.

It was inevitable that the empire of the credentialed would strike back at the revolt of the peasants. For the godless, globalist left, this IS an existential battle. For all their dull-wittedness, they know that if they don’t prevail now, many of them will face prison, or even the gallows. But the Freedom Convoy, so gloriously mounted by Canadian truckers, has shown that the ordinary man DOES have power when he chooses to work collaboratively with his fellows. Now we have fully entered into a battle over who will rule.

George Orwell, the author of “Animal Farm” and “1984” was reputed to have said that if tyranny ever comes to America, it will come from the left. Certainly, then future President Ronald Reagan said in a “60 Minutes” interview in 1975 that, “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” These are not as striking as they seem. The fact is that, since the French Revolution, almost all tyrannical movements have come from the left. That makes sense: leftists believe in the central power of the state over all people’s lives, while conservatives believe in individual liberty and that the authority of any government can only legitimately come from the consent of the people. As a wit once said, a leftist does not care what you do as long as it is mandatory.

What is happening now is that the battle lines are being formed. The difference between who are the bad and who are the good guys is being illuminated in stark relief. The “rule of law,” only raggedly connected to morality in the best of circumstances, is now perverted into a cudgel to be used against ordinary people in this great battle for power. Who will rule?

Ultimately, victory is assured to the people of God. I would not beguile you, though, that this will not be a pitched battle. We will take some hard hits on the path to victory under God. I have often been frustrated by many peoples’ desperate desire to find the man on the white horse who will relieve them of any responsibility for securing their own liberty. It was a mistake when people thought that Donald Trump, a man I deeply respect, would solve everything for them. It was a mistake when folks thought the truckers would solve everything and get it back to normal. What the truckers have done – and are doing throughout the world now – is profoundly important and noble, but it is the template for what all of good will must do to secure liberty – not the final word.

The first thing you must get clear in your own mind is that the “rule of law,” the global economy, most mediating institutions, and the arts are, if not dead, terminally ill. The cultural cancer has metastasized throughout the globe. They are all beyond reform. We must let them perish and build anew – while thinking anew in order to rebuild effectively. Many people are on the cusp right now, knowing that something is seriously wrong, but desperately hoping that things will somehow, of their own accord, smooth out. They won’t.

Caught in the intellectual plague of disorder, our Churches and Synagogues are desperately ill. They will recover, but only by the ministrations of the ordinary man.

With each blow struck by godless, globalist tyrants, many ordinary people are stricken with terror and despair. How can we prevail against this, they ask. The reality is that the godless globalists have serious, mortal vulnerabilities. But as I said, we must think anew to see and use these. It is a subject that I will speak of almost constantly going forward. Above all, we must discipline ourselves. If we are beguiled into engaging solely in the contest for power, the best we can accomplish is to replace their tyrannical thugs and bums with our tyrannical thugs and bums.

The Sanhedrin, when the debate was raging in Pilate’s courtyard over what to do with Jesus, proclaimed, “We have no king but Caesar!” It facilitated the worst judicial murder in history. Let us proclaim, instead, “We have no King but Jesus!” Who will rule? The spiritual deficiencies of the godless globalists beget a host of practical deficiencies that can effectively be exploited to rebuild a culture devoted to faith, family and freedom. But the knife of righteousness will turn in our hand against us if we lose sight of who our King is. Viva Christo Rey! Christ must rule in our hearts and minds – and then we can build a just state anew – with liberty and justice for all.

For the last 150 years communist tyrants have used a catchy phrase to beguile, manipulate and exploit the people they would rule. Now, with the fuse Canadian truckers have lit – that is already spreading throughout the world, I have found new merit in it. Let us hoist the communist tyrants on their own petard:

  1. Mercy. As a tweet from a Viva Free says: “Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t ‘calling in the military’. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military.”

    Been watching – along with the world – everything you write about, Charlie, as it unfolds. Thank you for the candor in assessing where we are. “The cultural cancer has metastasized throughout the globe. They are all beyond reform. We must let them perish and build anew – while thinking anew in order to rebuild effectively. Many people are on the cusp right now, knowing that something is seriously wrong, but desperately hoping that things will somehow, of their own accord, smooth out. They won’t… The reality is that the godless globalists have serious, mortal vulnerabilities. But as I said, we must think anew to see and use these.

    What a delightful closure to this piece! The workers of the world, in solidarity, are in the churning of the wild rapids now.

    Please pray for my friend who is a native Canadian and is driving north, passing through my area, to join the countrymen from her native land. She is a well-seasoned pilgrim. Two years ago she walked a pilgrimage route in France to all the Marian Shrines and this formed a mighty “M” across French soil. Last summer, on a return to France, the pilgrims walked to claim St. Joseph’s intercession in this country known as “the eldest daughter of the Church.” Always, the intent is that the graces would ripple out to all the world. Now, a new pilgrimage is stirring her heart to walk once again… CANADA MARCHES: https://canadamarches.ca/

  4. Powerful, Charlie. Goodness knows I am praying hard for those brave Canadians.

    A friend from Alberta sent me this, this morning:

    “Please pray for the protesters. The gov. has invoked the “Emergencies Act”. Giving them more rights to take away ours. They can suspend their bank accounts now, for any companies involved. The gov at first would fine hotels etc who rented to the protesters.Anyone bringing them fuel or food could be fined. I’m afŕaid next they will take away their children, I heard the gov is “worried about the children’s safety”. No doubt! Since they give fines to people who help.

    My little town is still having rallies, in support and the USA and other countries still have our back. There has been some violence and rude things happening but it isn’t from the masses.”

    I hadn’t thought about them taking away their children. That will up the stakes tremendously.

      Charlie is right. We want things to go back to “normal”, but is our normal way of life something we can go back to and not end up right back here again? Not likely. Our moral compass has tilted past the “moderate” point into the worldly zone. As conservatives this is not morally acceptable and God will not allow it to stand. As this chaos grows the Lord is allowing it to destroy itself, not as just a “punishment” but as a lesson:
      “God will not allow unrighteousness to become eternal. Revolution, disintegration, chaos, must be reminders that our thinking has been wrong, our dreams have been unholy. Moral truth is vindicated by the ruin that follows when it has been repudiated. The chaos of our times is the strongest negative argument that could ever be advanced for Christianity … The disintegration following an abandonment of God thus becomes a triumph of meaning, a reaffirmation of purpose … Adversity is the expression of God’s condemnation of evil, the registering of Divine Judgement … Catastrophe reveals that evil is self-defeating; we cannot turn from God without hurting ourselves.”
      Seek “true faith” (supernatural faith), maintain hope in God’s power, love extravagantly … and believe “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
      Fulton Sheen
      And a “remnant” must remain to continue the work of God.
      “It is necessary that a small flock subsist, no matter how small it might be.”—POPE PAUL VI, The Secret Paul VI, Jean Guitton, p. 152-153, Reference (7), p. ix
      “The future of the Church can and will exude from those whose roots are deep and who live from the pure fullness of their faith. It will not exude from those who accommodate themselves merely to the passing moment, or from those who criticize others and assume that they themselves are infallible measuring rods.”
      Cardinal Josef Ratzinger

Yes Charlie, “Meantime, the reaction of many Canadian officials (and sorrowfully, some American officials) has contrasted with ever growing clarity who the good guys and who the bad guys are, in living color. ” The self-serving tyrannical Leftists here and in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, have made themselves dramatically visible with their evil character on display.

    1. I wonder how many elections around the world have been corrupted for a long time, Jack. Desmond, a Canadian native explained that Trudeau only got 30% of the vote but because of the way their system works, he was elected. From another lens at this point, elections may well become moot as the globalists frantically throw all they have at attempting ultimate control.

      1. First-Past-the-Post elections and a Westminster system of Parliament. We have three or four political parties popular enough to be real “contenders”. The Member of Parliament for each Riding is the one with the most votes — this can be significantly <50% of the vote in some Ridings. Party with the most seats forms Government — again, this can be <50% of the total seats in the House of Commons. Right now, the Liberal Party (LPC) has a "minority government"; Trudeau's Liberals could govern on their own, but their hand is strengthened because the LPC have the support of the New Democrats (NDP) to form a coalition. They can govern as if they had a majority, as long as the coalition holds. The Conservative Party (CPC) and the Bloc Quebecois (BQ) are in Opposition; the CPC having more seats than the BQ , and so are the "Official Oposition". If the NDP were to join the CPC and BQ for a "vote of non-confidence", that would force an election. All money bills are automatically "confidence motions", and others can be so designated. But that's unlikely: the NDP are quite happy playing their role, and Trudeau is giving them everything their little socialist hearts desire, policy-wise, so they have no motivation for change.

      2. I would hope that the more the DemoRats and their ilk attempt to defraud voters, the more obvious their guilt becomes (even with courts refusing to hear obvious cases of voter fraud). The general public highly favors voter ID which the DemoRats oppose.

        Naturalized Latin Americans and Blacks, who see their wages undercut by the open border influx of illegals, appear to realize now that the DemoRats talk a lot about justice, but their actions in reality harm them; public polling is showing a swing of such traditional DemoRat voting preferences to the Rs as the lesser evil.

        The public also appears to have caught on that Biden and most of his DemoRats are flat out liars on everything and have realized that Biden has acted as a tyrant with his Executive Orders. It has become obvious that the Brandon administration has refused to honor existing statutory law.

        City crime is now so outrageous that the media can no longer hide it; the media, having called burning and looting peaceful protesting, has painted itself as lying to suit their DemoRat allies too.

        November’s elections cannot come too soon.

  10. Meanwhile the Grand Jury Trial: Crimes Against Humanity heard Dr. Ardis’ jaw dropping incredible Remdesivir presentation.

    So far the Trial has surfaced the egregious effort to promote worldwide fear not only by the deliberate use of inflated PCR positive tests but also by consciously and intentionally propelling the death toll by denying early outpatient health intervention combined with mandating the single inpatient protocol of the killer drug remdesivir.

    The evil plan emerges: project skyrocketing PCR contagion numbers along with inpatient hospital deaths to propel a rushed “necessity” for the gene altering pathogenic injection across the world. Discussion of the fateful impact of these injections is forthcoming on the Trial agenda.

    Two questions come to mind: What will the injected Faithful and citizens do when they learn about this malice and then what will Church leaders do when they realize they’ve not only been duped but with vim and vigor unwittingly passed along the deadly venom to their flocks as an “act of compassion, love”? Justice is forthcoming not only to the culprits but also to those complicit, even down to those hospital doctors who are signing these remdesivir prescriptions (regardless of their own personal agenda, be it livelihood or ignorance, in the face of harm and death to patients).

    This Grand Jury investigation is no small blessing to behold as we continue to hear the media, politicians and government agencies spew their lies in real time and to painfully experience unnecessary deaths every hour of the day.

It might make for a good platform, but it has no investigatory or enforcement authority. So don’t put your hopes in this other than to, perhaps, reveal some facts.

With copious details of his journey treating patients according to symptoms, his protocol included two stages: hydroxychloroquine during the first days of virus symptoms, then with antihistamine & steroids treated the second phase of breathlessness for what he diagnosed as allergic reaction and hypersensitivity to the spike (always beginning on the 8th day). Not all patients experienced a second phase. He sometimes used ivermectin as well. Of the 10,000 patients he treated not one was hospitalized or died, although there were three who chose to be hospitalized and because the hospital would not follow his protocol, all three died.

  18. 2 of 5 new locutions to Anne the lay apostle
    Directions for our time
    February 2, 2022
    Jesus
    For many years, much of mankind has experienced material comfort. While the poor always suffer, many people have enjoyed a level of comfort unique to this time. I am pleased when humanity enjoys that which it needs to flourish. At the same time, there exists a fixation with the lives of others, as seen through continual media. Much of mankind has fallen prey to unhealthy curiosity about the details of the experiences of others, as viewed through a lens which often ignores suffering. This has caused many people to gradually lose interest in their own individual experience and ache for that which belongs to others. They become blinded to the gifts and strengths given to them for their purpose and their life.
    My answers have always been available. Heaven’s truth is both visible and invisible. The gift of self gives to the giver. Bitterness and the withholding of love harms the withholder. A deliberate decision to harm damages the one offering those negative contributions. Consequences follow the offerings of each person and go out into the wider existence of mankind. The decision to rest fully into my love and my providence provides daily joy and happiness. How many choose this disposition? Where a few choose it together, we find charity and creativity. This is what I hope for now, in this time, charity, creativity, and relentless optimism for the future. We will prevail in this effort. But one should be prepared for a journey before one embarks upon it.
    A foundation of charity, creativity, and optimism provides humanity with a fixed orientation toward growth and right development. My friends, can we say that such a foundation is now developing in the world? Or do we see that the opposite of this disposition, with its secrecy and scheming, fosters division and suspicion among our human family? I do not want countries deliberately pitted against each other, nor people. But this happens now. Where will it take us? We have seen in the past how disturbance in one person can spread to extraordinary lengths. We have also seen that disturbance in one person can be managed when courageous men and women resist the easy road of protecting themselves at all costs. The truth is that I am the only one who can fully protect anyone or anything. A disturbed individual will foment division, suspicion, and the rise of ego against others, many others. A calm, righteous individual will align themself with truth, even if they can see only a sliver of it. This requires courage, but courage is abundant amongst my true followers.
    Know this. I will not be used to begin war. That will not be me. A lover of my spirit will be courageous and fix their disposition toward peace. A disturbed individual will ultimately aim for destruction of a family, a divine plan, or a country. Be ready to consult with me and not with a humanly derived ideology that restricts freedom of independent thought.

So sad to see how many clergy are not looking good right now. To be fair, parish offices are likely swamped with calls from enfuriated parishioners on both sides of the question, urging them to take radical, but opposite, stances. I’ll cut priests a fair bit of slack — trying to talk some hothead down can be misinterpreted by said hothead as spinelessness. On the other hand, the Archbishop of Edmonton’s homily last weekend was solidly pro-mandate under rubric of uncritical obedience, which is its own problem. Limits to obedience exist, but exact location of limit can be difficult to draw, as people can differ in prudential judgement on nature of governing factors and the weighting thereof.

  26. These are beautiful messages from Jesus to Anne the lay apostle direction for our times🥰

    Jesus

    If peace is the desired outcome, how does one approach a conflict? One contemplates that which is most likely to bring peace. Is peace always possible? Yes. It is always possible. One party desires peace and approaches each situation in hope of peace. When both parties crave conflict, for hidden reasons, then peace is not possible and all becomes a justification for war. Heaven, at times, prompts humanity to respond to injustice and aggression. In those times, my intervention can be seen, if not in the present moments, then through thoughtful retrospection at a later date.

    Those connected with me in earnest desire for my hopes to be realized can grasp the difference between a heavenly position and a position arrived at through earthly thought and thinking. I will always help the righteous cause. Always. I do so in my way and within my timeline. I do so with a plan that is vast and relies on trust and faith from my people. My concern is for all people in all times.

    Sweeping movements of change in the world cause distress in human systems. This experience frightens those who cannot trust me, or indeed, do not understand that I am always involved. When human systems fail, that is the opportunity to create new systems more closely aligned with holy thought and development. If a human system is failing, one should be imagining and contemplating what type of improved system should replace it. My children were created to dream of opportunities to love, and to create systems which allow for that goal.

    The next consideration must be reflected upon deeply. Love comes in many forms and many textures. Each day holds many moments for those who seek to love. Does one express love the same way to each person in each moment? Of course not. Love and the expression of love often requires thought and reflection. When someone expresses love that is deliberate and personal, the other experiences it deeply and is deeply impacted. The difference between a chosen, contemplated action of love, with simple words perhaps, or with a slight gesture, and love that is a pretense, is felt in a significant way. Words, gestures, or actions that do not come from love do not resonate with love. The recipient understands that he or she has not been given true love which originates in me, but rather a false expression intended for the benefit of the giver. These false expressions can cause injury, and while they may sometimes include practical assistance that is important, they do not lift the soul of the other.

    Why is this important? Because the study of love and mercy will stop wars.
    Love looks different in different situations. What I require in the way of love may look firm at times. But when one determines the course love must take, through daily contact with me, one is confident about the course.
    People should recognize my friends through their love, yes, but love must come from me to be authentic and effective. In this time, many of my friends are following paths that do not lead to me. They are blinded and do not crave humility and service. Remember, please, that I was humble and that I served. I ask that you emerge from relationship with me into the events taking place around you, and then return to me in that space where we are together. This will enable you to be calm and hold your position of peace. If you heed me in this way, you will stand out, and your peace will spread through the world.

  27. That’as awhole lot of crazy hitting the fan. All I can do is live the life that I’ve been called to today.

    I’m working as an LPN in Florida, and going to school for my RN. I hope to God in these next 2 years I get to finish at least my RN, but I have dreams of staying in school for my APN so I can be an NP and open a clinic. One day at a time. At the very least I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I DO know that if I were in NJ, I wouldn’t even have a job, or be going to school, so praise God for his provision in getting me down here, supplying our many needs, and getting me a job.

    Still, I very much feel as though the future is foggy. There’s today. And next month that might get worse.

    Praying for all as we navigate this.

    1. Awesome goals, Briana. We’re all in the same boat with you in the foggy, or misty, look into what is to come. We simply cannot know the details, but we surely know the broad sweep and we also know God will provide for each of us as much as He did in getting you to where you now continue your studies in nursing. The future will be full of sorrows and great joy. I continue to believe I’d rather be suffering whatever it takes to get to the rebuilding/rebirthing in Church and culture, than to be stuck in this quicksand of suffering unending wins by the evil one with no hope in sight. Suffering for something good is actually beautiful!

      The thought came to me that you are where Joette is (Practical Homeopathy) There probably is no easy way for you to combine the two disciplines to make a living.

      I am convicted the merging of the two modalities (allopathy and homeopathy) is the Future of medical care. I would love the opportunity to use my RN in a setting that also uses homeopathy. I asked Joette if she ever saw that happening and she said no way/negatory/nope. Maybe when the dust settles and the corruption is rooted out, The Lord will give us that chance.

    Well, we should have. And I tried. But my neighbors and coworkers in NJ insisted that the needle was the only responsible way forward. My neighbors insisted that healthcare workers bend the knee. And so I left. I pray for those in states that are dealing with such medical regulations. So many people are dying from the consequences.

    Obviously the big reset is behind all this in Canada, Australia etc so that includes banks.

    Here is an excerpt: “Trudeau’s orders, aimed in part at cutting off funds to protesters, have a wider scope than previously reported – which is “forcing portfolio managers and securities firms to take a harder look at who they are doing business with,” according to Bloomberg.

    The new rules make demands of a broad list of entities — including banks, investment firms, credit unions, loan companies, securities dealers, fundraising platforms, insurance companies and fraternal benefit societies. They must determine whether they’re in “possession or control of property” of a person who’s attending an illegal protest or providing supplies to demonstrators, according to orders published by the government late Tuesday night.

    If they find such a person in their customer list, they must freeze their accounts and report it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Canada’s intelligence service, the regulations say. Any suspicious transactions must also be reported to the country’s anti-money-laundering agency, known as Fintrac. -Bloomberg

  38. It’s not surprising that Trudeau is trying to create a “Jan 6” event in Canada, the way news media & social media was spin doctoring the peaceful protests as evil since the protests began in Canada raised too many Red Flags, the whole thing process of vilifying peaceful protesters was just rolled out a lot slower.

    The swasticas that appeared during the protest were made with vaccine syringes to symbolise the vaccine mandates & passport as oppresively Fascist, and that Tudeau is a vaccine Nazis. Trudeau and the news lied saying the protesters are Nazis.

    Throughout the course of humanity, I have solved problems with supernatural means. Humanity, so concerned with safety and daily need, often marvels for but a brief moment, then moves quickly on to procure the next need. This is as it should be. I do not want people to think continually of past sufferings when the present provides many opportunities to delight in each other and the unique gifts given to each person. At the same time, I see that if people could develop eyes to recognize my presence in so many troubling world events of the past, my people would face the future with steady confidence.

    I will remain present in every event, every assault on peace, every moment of suffering that comes to my children on Earth. We in Heaven are united to Earth in every attack against it. I have a beautiful plan for humanity. I have a beautiful plan for my children’s existence on Earth. There are so many wonderful things to see and experience and strive toward. Will you help me? Will you maintain your focus on that which is being created instead of that which you fear is being destroyed? If you do, you will become full of hope and your contact with me will be uninterrupted. Your time with me in prayer brings you delight in everything around you, and prevents the anxious study of that which is nowhere near you. If you are called to become involved in a struggle for peace, you will know.

    My dear, dear friends, what do I want for you? What do I want for our Church on Earth? For your faith community? What do I want for your family? What do I want for each person you encounter today? I want them all to know they are loved and seen, full of goodness, despite their mistakes, and full of beauty, despite any crosses they carry. I want you all to know that you are valuable, indeed, irreplaceable to me in the human story. Remember all the good you have done. Remember all that you tried to achieve for others, and for yourself. Those efforts will never be lost. Your dreams will be completed in Heaven in the manner in which we dream and create here. You will be so happy and full of wisdom in Heaven. You will know the truth and understand the struggles in your life, even if you do not understand them now. I say to you today with an open, outstretched hand, peace be with you.

    Will you accept my peace? Will you extend your hand to receive it from me? Please, do. If you accept my peace you will become an example of the timeless message of the Gospel. I desire this for you.

It is uncanny to me how her messages, as recorded from Jesus, now shared even almost a decade later seem to be speaking to us in the moment. Here are yesterday's and today's reflections in light of the struggles before us. ❤

  41. If I was a bad guy, and my plans got leaked, I’d change the plan to something much different, but Trudeau didn’t change his plans after it got leaked to the internet in 2020. I hope this sheds light on WHY things are happening, Here it is:

    Dear REMOVED,

    I want to provide you some very important information. I’m a committee member within the Liberal Party of Canada. I sit within several committee groups but the information I am providing is originating from the Strategic Planning committee (which is steered by the PMO).

    I need to start off by saying that I’m not happy doing this but I have to. As a Canadian and more importantly as a parent who wants a better future not only for my children but for other children as well. The other reason I am doing this is because roughly 30% of the committee members are not pleased with the direction this will take Canada, but our opinions have been ignored and they plan on moving forward toward their goals. They have also made it very clear that nothing will stop the planned outcomes.

    The road map and aim was set out by the PMO and is as follows:

    – Phase in secondary lock down restrictions on a rolling basis, starting with major metropolitan areas first and expanding outward. Expected by November 2020.
    – Rush the acquisition of (or construction of) isolation facilities across every province and territory. Expected by December 2020.
    – Daily new cases of COVID-19 will surge beyond capacity of testing, including increases in COVID related deaths following the same growth curves. Expected by end of November 2020.
    – Complete and total secondary lock down (much stricter than the first and second rolling phase restrictions). Expected by end of December 2020 – early January 2021
    – Reform and expansion of the unemployment program to be transitioned into the universal basic income program. Expected by Q1 2021.
    – Projected COVID-19 mutation and/or co-infection with secondary virus (referred to as COVID-21) leading to a third wave with much higher mortality rate and higher rate of infection. Expected by February 2021.
    – Daily new cases of COVID-21 hospitalizations and COVID-19 and COVID-21 related deaths will exceed medical care facilities capacity. Expected Q1 – Q2 2021.
    – Enhanced lock down restrictions (referred to as Third Lock Down) will be implemented. Full travel restrictions will be imposed (including inter-province and inter-city). Expected Q2 2021.
    – Transitioning of individuals into the universal basic income program. Expected mid Q2 2021.
    – Projected supply chain break downs, inventory shortages, large economic instability. Expected late Q2 2021.
    – Deployment of military personnel into major metropolitan areas as well as all major roadways to establish travel checkpoints. Restrict travel and movement. Provide logistical support to the area. Expected by Q3 2021.

    Along with that provided road map the Strategic Planning committee was asked to design an effective way of transitioning Canadians to meet a unprecedented economic endeavor. One that would change the face of Canada and forever alter the lives of Canadians. What we were told was that in order to offset what was essentially an economic collapse on a international scale, that the federal government was going to offer Canadians a total debt relief. This is how it works: the federal government will offer to eliminate all personal debts (mortgages, loans, credit cards, etc) which all funding will be provided
    to Canada by the IMF under what will become known as the World Debt Reset program. In exchange for acceptance of this total debt forgiveness the individual would forfeit ownership of any and all property and assets forever. The individual would also have to agree to partake in the COVID-19 and COVID-21 vaccination schedule, which would provide the individual with unrestricted travel and unrestricted living even under a full lock down (through the use of photo identification referred to as Canada’s HealthPass) .

    Committee members asked who would become the owner of the forfeited property and assets in that scenario and what would happen to lenders or financial institutions, we were simply told “the World Debt Reset program will handle all of the details”. Several committee members also questioned what would happen to individuals if they refused to participate in the World Debt Reset program, or the HealthPass, or the vaccination schedule, and the answer we got was very troubling. Essentially we were told it was our duty to make sure we came up with a plan to ensure that would never happen. We were told it was in the individuals best interest to participate. When several committee members pushed relentlessly to get an answer we were told that those who refused would first live under the lock down restrictions indefinitely. And that over a short period of time as more Canadians transitioned into the debt forgiveness program, the ones who refused to participate would be deemed a public safety risk and would be relocated into isolation facilities. Once in those facilities they would be given two options, participate in the debt forgiveness program and be released, or stay indefinitely in the isolation facility under the classification of a serious public health risk and have all their assets seized.

    So as you can imagine after hearing all of this it turned into quite the heated discussion and escalated beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed before. In the end it was implied by the PMO that the whole agenda will move forward no matter who agrees with it or not. That it wont just be Canada but in fact all nations will have similar roadmaps and agendas. That we need to take advantage of the situations before us to promote change on a grander scale for the betterment of everyone. The members who were opposed and ones who brought up key issues that would arise from such a thing were completely ignored. Our opinions and concerns were ignored. We were simply told to just do it.

    All I know is that I don’t like it and I think its going to place Canadians into a dark future.

    1. While the depth of evil and depravity is, thankfully, incomprehensible to men of good will, this is very much old news. The tyrants have been dreamin’, pervertin’ and scemin’ for a long time now, telling us each move as they go, while delighting in covering it in inky deception and thinking they are very clever.

      As Anne, A Lay Apostle says, evil is all so very boring. It has only finite possibilities. Boring. Yawn.

      We’d be doing Our Lord a terrible disservice (+Sorry Lord, forgive me, Ima gettin up again!+) to focus on it any longer than needed to first acknowledge the battle is real and to get the overall-gist of the evil all for the main purpose of renewing and doubling-down on our fiats to Him.

      Ahh, our Awesome Triune God!! Now, that’s Who deserves our full attention! Not the side show tyrants. Its a poverty to contemplate any but His Majesty and Beauty and Life and Promises.

      Let us all do so:

      “And she conceived of The Holy Spirit” (Hail Mary…)

      “The Word became flesh”
      “And dwelt among us!” (Hail Mary…)

      Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
      That we may become worthy of the promises of Christ

      Let us Pray:
      Pour forth we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross, be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ, our Lord, Amen.

      1. Well said, Littlelight. It is a balancing act to acknowledge what is and then to focus on the good we can do. It’s too easy to hyper-dwell on the enemy’s work out of fear, rather than dwelling on what God is calling us to do. The videos of the ordinary people from Canada who HAVE been doing SO much good in their protesting show lives forever changed because both the truckers and all who support what they have been doing are connecting with people again, living hope and heartening one another and, through it all, so many of those who have been on a path away from the Lord are making a return to Him.

    Canada THEY are NOW arresting Tuckers in Ottawa, after canceling Parliament for the day (’cause these Evil Truckers are so much more dangerous than BLM/Antifa) AND are NOT allowing the Press to record it all. Yep! Sounds a lot like 6 Jan & Tiananmen Square to me …. and with the hope that BoobLand Canada will forgetaboutit by Monday?

      Why do you think I didn’t get excited or hopeful with the trucker’s protest?
      Freedom loving Christians have been on a consistent loosing streak for at least a few years now. When we gather to promote positive change, the enemy comes along and crushes our hopes & dreams at the moment we though though we’re going to win at least 1 measly battle. The feelings of outrage & loss over the total lack of justice, charity, & love is overwhelming…

      One consoltion in all of this is Our Lady Akita’s messages, God will judge the wicked, and they will envy the dead. Knowing this, isn’t better turn away from evil and embrace God instead for better future filled with family, faith, & love?

      1. I agree,only God knows how long this Great Evil (=great reset) will go on. However millions of masses, communions, sacrifices, rosaries, confessions are helping and pouring magnifecent abundant graces upon the truckers and all those who are fighting against the injustice.

  47. Update: USA Convoy begins in CA on Feb 25th!

    Truckers will join Convoy as it winds through their area across America to Washington D.C. where all will unite on March 1st.

    Pray for everyone who braves the elements to save our country from tyranny.
