I see where The Associated Press dutifully performed its spin to help defeat the Canadian Truckers protest.
The story hits many of the usual smear points. The article concludes with this paragraph:
“Pandemic restrictions have been far stricter in Canada than in the U.S., but Canadians have largely supported them. The vast majority of Canadians are vaccinated, and the COVID-19 death rate is one-third that of the United States.
Note that the AP writer didn’t include this truthful statement:
Pandemic restrictions have been largely absent in Sweden, and the COVID death rate in Sweden is lower than the United States. Or the journalist could have compared death or case rates in Florida to, say, New York.
I also imagine death rates in Canada are similar post vaccination and pre-vaccination.
The reporter COULD have correctly noted that the number of “Covid deaths” in Israel, the most vaccinated country in the advanced world, just set all-time records.
America’s death rates might be higher than Canada, but I would also note that the “vast majority” of Americans are ALSO vaccinated. The vast majority of people in African nations are NOT vaccinated – and African nations have the lowest death rates.

Tens of thousands of supporters of the Canberra Freedom Convoy converged on Parliament House in the national capital to protest on Saturday – ‘No more mandates!’, ‘End tyranny! Free Australia!’ said the signs. It was high spirits and high emotion (‘tears rolling down cheeks’ kind of emotion) all round from those who want their lives back, the way they were before the virus madness descended, from those who have simply had enough of state intrusion into their bodies, jobs, businesses. ‘Enough is enough!’ was a popular placard, although ‘Sack them All’ gave it a good run for its money.
It was Australia’s largest ever political protest (https://asenseofplacemagazine.com/images-from-the-convoy-to-canberra-12-february-2022-a-day-that-changed-history/). I remember a huge (perhaps 30,000), Iraq War protest in Canberra back when I worked in Canberra, inside the belly of the beast, in the Department of Health, and the aerial drone shots from yesterday show the Freedom Protest filling ten times that space, at least. The ‘trusted’ news organisations surprised no one by downplaying the size of the protest (‘thousands’, they said, getting it wrong by a factor of a hundred), portraying it as a rag-tag bunch of ‘anti-vaxxers’ and ‘so-called’ Freedom protesters.
There were no riots, no looting, no burning (unlike some protests we can all think of). If you must have ‘Diversity’, here’s diversity for you – people from all occupational and class backgrounds, Christians and atheists, virgin and veteran protesters, including a group of former police officers, carrying banners saying “Police for Freedom: We are human beings serving and protecting other human beings”.
Inside the House on the Hill, mainstream politicians demonstrated just why the protesters are there. Out of touch with the Australian people from the off, they have become even further removed judging by their contemptuous reaction to the protest.
‘Liberal’ Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, who is as useless as a facemask, tossed off the concerns of the protest by blaming the state governments for the vaxx mandates yet during National Cabinet (the responsibility-dissolving gaggle of Prime Minister and all state premiers), Morrison has done exactly zilch to stop the premiers from implementing them, or the vaccine passports that exist in some form everywhere in Australia.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation has recently decided to upgrade ‘fully vaccinated’ to mean three shots (two initial hits and a first booster), after lobbying from state premiers, a decision which was rubber-stamped by the waste of space who masquerades as Australia’s Prime Minister.
For his part, the ‘Labor’ ‘Opposition’ leader, Anthony ‘Albo’ Albanese, was like an angry parent, telling the protesters to go home because the government was following the ‘best medical advice’. And ‘show some respect’, he hectored, for the front-line workers who have slaved themselves to the bone to cope with all the people dying from the virus. Well, Albo, why hasn’t the Labor Party ‘shown some respect’ for all the nurses who have been sacked for declining an experimental, ineffective, dangerous medication because of No-Jab-No-Job mandates imposed by state Labor governments. Good old Labor, still guilt-tripping people as if its forever March 2020 and we are sacrificing everything for ‘our health heroes’ by ‘flattening the curve’ to protect the hospitals.
‘Sack them all’, indeed.
And damn every Australian politician who failed in their duty to us and to our country.
Shame on the Prime Minister for his failure to resign, clinging to an office he is not fit to hold; shame on Albanese for his hypocrisy.
Shame on all those who put their place in their disgraced parties over their responsibility to the Australian people.
Unfortunately, the willingness of those offering their arms – again and again and again – has strengthened the dictatorial proclivities of the rogues in government. They think they are invincible.
Fine reporting, Phil. God bless you and every Australian who stands up for freedom.
Seconded.
Thanks for the detailed report, Phil. Great to get this information.
Many thanks for your update. Keep the reports coming.
All the best.

The article on Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the above list seems to be missing the wood for the trees. It bemoans the problems with EVs but fails to address the wider issues stemming from this half baked proposal.
I could go on with more related points but you get the idea. In my view we are being sold a con that can never deliver travel as we currently enjoy it, it will be socially divisive with the travel prospects for many low/modest income people being hugely reduced. But as with ‘Covid restrictions’ it is all being done for the common good so we must be good citizens and accept it!
Sounds like a great money-spinner until you realise your very expensive battery has a limited life-span which you’ve now significantly shortened.
And you’ve then got to charge it again.
We now have complete idiots running the country
Oddly enough, I followed a link to a Telegraph (pah!) article today. It was about three writers who live in rural areas and each tested a different (expensive) EV for a week. All of them commented on the reduction of range available during cold weather. Ditto the ‘range anxiety’ when out driving anywhere outside urban centres. And ditto the problems of charging at home, when visiting and even in a marked charging bay with a too-short cable. The rural pubs that have charge points don’t advertise when they’re ‘out of use’, which might be disappointing when your EV’s down to 2 miles remaining range and you’ve just driven there.
Even discounting the typical ‘safe’ range of 150 miles between charges, the price of the vehicles will preclude many from owning one. The biggest oversight in my view is the consideration of charging costs. The idea that charging your EV will still be cheap once governments have kissed goodbye to their lovely carbon-fuel taxes is beyond satire.
A linked article dealt with the problems of grid/network/home charging problems. Often, the home’s electrical system needs to be upgraded and/or trenches need to be dug between roadside charging points and the EV owner’s home. One couple had their drive dug up and out of commission for 10 days so that their neighbour could have a charge point installed!
I live on the edge of a big city and even I can’t get to a supermarket within a 30mph zone. There’s 2 within 3 miles as well
As an aside, I’ve found with the new E petrol that I don’t get the same mileage as I did with the previous fuel. More expensive and less mileage.
Jeeps: interesting link! I’ve not seen anything about the AMI previously – and I hope I never see anything more: possibly the most unattractive noddy-mobile that I have ever seen (and that is before I know the doubtless massively excessive pricing and awful useability!).
p.s. Just checked – claimed to be from £6,000, BUT
“Is the Citroën Ami legal in UK?
It’s illegal to use on motorways and you don’t want to be wandering out of 30mph zones. Depending on your country, you can drive the Ami from the age of 14, and without a driving licence – although, probably sensibly, it’s being introduced as only available to over 17s with a licence in the UK.”
does it come with shoulder straps so one can carry it home if the battery runs out?
FROM £6,000 for a glorified golf cart with a range of 40 miles! Flipping heck, they really are taking the piss aren’t they? Five years ago I bought a small car, 1 year old, for £5,000. It is still going strong, having seen me through a difficult period when I was driving from the South coast to North Wales every weekend to visit my dying father. Over that time I have spent less in total on motoring than half the purchase price of the cheapest of the EVs in the Telegraph’s article. The move to electric is all about reducing the mobility of the average person while allowing those who can afford a Tesla to continue to travel. I can’t understand why people are not up in arms about this.
PLUS, where is the urban onanist who purchases one of these AMIs meant to plug it in? Presumably they live in a flat in Shoreditch
Um. The idea is to DESTROY the concept of “travel freedom”. And the impact on rural dwellers such as we will be (intentionally) catastrophic, with a view to making us move into the city.
See my comment on this.
The aim behind Electric Vehicles (EV) is to take private car ownership off the plebs and force them on to public transport. This is linked to the smart cities programme. The programme is basically about herding the population in to town and city centres where people can be more easily monitored and controlled.
The Davos Deviants know full well that EV’s cannot replace the fossil fuel powered motoring fleet but don’t care because that is part of their plan.
“Boris Johnson to ‘restore a smaller state’ as part of No 10 ‘reset’, says Steve Barclay” Johnson allegedly hates ‘big’ government, it needs to go as do the Blairites, ‘New Labour’ infiltrated all of the parties long ago and is now dominant in Parliament.
Johnson hates big government, but is all in favour of biomedical Fascism.
Er…?
Not sure he would know what that meant, he’s still on his fence telling us the ‘vaccines’ do nothing to stop spread or infection.
I seem to remember that some while ago it was discussed that Johnson is like Gollum from Lord of the rings, good Gollum and bad Gollum, they are both duplicitous and I would not trust either of them. And, like Gollum, in the end Johnson is just after one thing; ‘the ring of power’.
UK Column did a brilliant job of exposing what a bunch of lightweight low grade morons we have working in GOVUK, stacked up against their peers in Russia. We really are led by scum in the UK. Theyre trying to tee up Rishi Sunak – who has been linked to Satanism – to be PM. So were going to tolerate Satanists as our leaders now, are we.
This show also has a tribute to the life of Luc Montagnier, who passed away recently. Since being the discoverer of HIV they say he distanced himelf from the establishment, probably realising he was working for a bunch of criminals while being the owner of a good heart.

Sunak named his hedge fund firm THELEME – named so after a Satanic cult established by satanist, sexual abuser of children and Secret Services asset, Aleister Crowley…….

Aleister Crowley, Rishi Sunak & the Culling of the ‘Herd’.

The fraud that is Rishi Sunak, the man currently acting as Chancellor of the Exchequer, will know these facts behind money and its control all too well, having been schooled in the dark arts of banking fraud whilst employed at Goldman Sachs and having set up his own hedge fund firm, Theleme.
Note the name ‘Theleme’ which is a nod towards the ‘Thelema’ [Greek for ‘will’] cult established by the satanist, sexual abuser of children and Secret Services asset, Aleister Crowley. Crowley, who called himself the Beast 666, advocated aristocratic rule. “The slaves shall serve” was an oft-repeated phrase in his writings.
Crowley stated:
Source: Crowley, Aleister, Louis Wilkinson, Hymenaeus Beta. The Law Is for All: The Authorized Popular Commentary on Liber Al Vel Legis Sub Figura CCXX, the Book of Law. Phoenix, Ariz.: New Falcon, 1996. 131. Print.
Both Crowley and Sunak share the fact of being well-minted, in Sunak’s case by his career in banking and by marriage,
All of which means he is a bankster’s man, bought and paid for; a man who has been handsomely rewarded for this services to international finance.
His constituency is in North Yorkshire, where,
The “How to Prevent Next Pandemic” from one of the liars behind the current fraudulent one. This scumbag Gates who is planning how to next f*** your life up makes the stomach turn he is so offensive to the soul:
Gates is such a knowledgeable drop-out. Did he manage to drop out of all the medical degree courses too?
Bit of a problem there Billy Boy; there’s nobody alive who remembers the last pandemic.
What a duckin shyster.
On the brightside it appears most of the masks have gone. On the downside M&S were forcing people to queue outside again. I attempted to walk straight in anyway. Those in the queue who were moaning about having to queue didn’t complain about that as such but raised hell about my “queue jumping”. bunch of idiots.
Then the store sheep stopped me from proceeding. After summoning his manager I was informed “our customers have told us they want it for their safety”. Obviously they didn’t survey all the ones outside moaning about it but doing nothing “because it’s polite”.
At this rate I’m going to run out of stores to boycott – and a bit of a pain as it’s the only supermarket within easy walking distance.
Ive boycotted Waitrose (and Sinsburys) because their security staff are some of the most vile in the land, their management are a bunch of brainwashed dead brained low soul idiots and the fact that they have such a nefarious network of wireless radiation emitting routers lining the ceilings of their shops which give me very worrying sensations when I walk underneath them. I feel real pity for their staff who are ignorant to these dangers who spend their entire days being irradiated by their scumbag employer who couldnt care less about their health, depriving their intake of oxygen which may well lead to increased mask derived cancers. Its so Orwelklian and disturbing I find going in their stores to be a traumatic experience these days. Then there are the aggro moron security scum they employ who think nothing of using outrright intimidation tactics on thiose they dont like the look of. Its extreme discrimination. I used to regularly shop there because they have good organic produce and good bargains, but the reality is the local shops have better produce and they dont expose me to cancer causing radiation. I could not despise Waitrose more, its horrible and Orwellian and shit – typical of these sh*tty grey darkened islands these days. Before these evil changes I used to recommend it as I support organic farming and the role supermarkets can play in this. Now I think theyre scum – because they are scum – because they behave as scum.
I went to M&S today, for the first time in months and it was packed! Everyone buying their Valentine’s meal deals, and grabbing the mark downs. No queuing at all, although, interestingly at the end of last summer, their covered over queuing system reappeared…and then disappeared! Only the over 60s fervantly nap up. All in all it was kind of normal…apart from the muzzles of course.
