Trudeau Government Faked Intelligence to Frame Freedom Convoy Truckers as Violent Extremists, Investigation Finds

by Will Jones
25 January 2024 7:00 PM

The Canadian Government used disinformation in the form of faked intelligence to frame the Freedom Convoy anti-vaccine-mandate protesters as violent extremists and justify invoking the Emergencies Act, an investigation by Public has found. Here’s an excerpt.

A months-long Public investigation reveals that the Canadian Government used disinformation to crack down on the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest, led by truckers demanding an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates, in February 2022. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada’s national police force, then promoted this false information to other ‘Five Eyes’ English-speaking nations.

This discovery is significant because it contributes to a pattern of intelligence agencies from the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which have collaborated on surveillance since World War II, being caught abusing their powers to investigate and persecute the political enemies of elected officials.

In 2013, the National Security Agency contractor turned whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the U.S. Government and other nations had violated legal protections against warrantless surveillance. Collaboration between Five Eyes nations also appears to have been used by the FBI in 2016 to create the pretext used for initiating the Russian collusion investigation, which U.S. Department of Justice special prosecutor John Durham denounced last year.

The story begins in 2022, when news media outlets claimed that the truckers’ Freedom Convoy protest was a racist, fascist or far-Right movement. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the convoy “a small fringe minority with unacceptable views” and accused Conservative Members of Parliament of supporting hate. “Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag,” Trudeau said.

On February 14th 2022, Trudeau took the extraordinary measure of invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canada’s history. The Act gave the Government sweeping powers to arrest protesters, freeze their bank accounts, seize property and dismantle blockades, which is what Trudeau did.

Central to Trudeau’s invocation of the Act was the alleged threat of Right-wing extremism and violence, but new documents that podcaster Jeremy Mackenzie obtained through Canada’s freedom of information law show that this drastic measure was based on fabricated intelligence. What’s more, Canada appears to have shared this disinformation with other members of the Five Eyes alliance. Five Eyes includes Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. 

There are still many questions about why this happened. We have not received answers from key players involved. Trudeau’s Government and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) told Public they would reply to our requests for comment but so far have not.

The New Zealand Police, with whom the Trudeau Government shared disinformation, told Public that it was “unable to comment on queries which seek to confirm whether or not specific individuals or organisations are or have been under police investigation for privacy reasons”.

This scandal appears to add to a growing number of cases revealing the politicisation of intelligence and security agencies across Five Eyes nations to achieve ideological, political and counter-populist goals. But how exactly did the Trudeau Government use falsified evidence to shut down the truckers’ protest? And why are Five Eyes Governments around the world using similar strategies to frame, entrap and demonise populists?

Worth reading in full.

Intelligence services need to be scrapped, they are responsible for running with the COVID scam. They do not protect us but have been weaponised against us.

Are the intelligence agencies abusing their powers and being politicised or are they doing their job and protecting assets that are required to achieve their own objectives? Intelligence agencies don’t exist to protect the masses. State funded extremists and conspiracy-theorists.

Agreed: The Canadian government lied in order to crush a legitimate protest.

This sentence remains true whether we replace ‘Canadian’ with British/UK, American, Australian, Austrian, German, Kiwi, etc

Yeah, f*k mid/dis…. Nobody has a monopoly on the truth, especially not those in power. There must always be room for dissent.

I don’t think any of us have the definitive story on everything, but our dissent is certainly justified given the dodgy conduct of those who claim to be our ‘betters’

Socialist fascism

‘Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number; but it is the purest form of democracy if the nation be considered as it should be from the point of view of quality rather than quantity, as an idea, the mightiest because the most ethical, the most coherent, the truest, expressing itself in a people as the conscience and will of the few, if not, indeed, of one (Trudeau)’

Trudeau is a despicable politician (just like his dad, Castro (🙂))
Seriously evil little leftist behaving as leftists always want to: to lock up and otherwise abuse people who disagree with them. A nasty, deranged mindset. Man must be hounded until he resigns and,.hopefully be arrested for treason against the Canadian people and crimes against democracy.

“crimes against democracy.”

Actually crimes against humanity. Turdeau conned almost 90% of Canadians to take the jabs. Many have died as a result. Many are going to die.

As Russel Brand puts it….The Jackboots of the 20th century are replaces by warm and fluffy words like…equity, diversity, inclusion, sustainable, nobody left behind, level up, build back better, nobody’s safe until everybody is safe etc etc. We are slow to realise the deception that the well meaning words are a Trojan Horse.

The Globalist trash running the little peoples lives for them with phony science and bought and paid for media scare stories will be brought down. We see the rise of the anti piss taking parties in Europe and the collapse of brain dead social justice Democrats in the US. Our time will come. They will NOT get their c..ks in frocks in our daughter’s toilets for much longer.

So, at the very least, Trudeau should be charged with Malfeasance in Public Office.

It was obvious that the USA, Five Eyes and NATO were operating in lockstep during the Scamdemic.

Five days BEFORE the first lock-down in the UK, the British Government downgraded Covid from a High Consequence Infectious Disease because they had more data and they knew it had low mortality rates.

Then Ferguson’s dodgy modelling supposedly scared the bejesus out of Johnson and he decided to lockdown. I think Ferguson’s model was used to JUSTIFY a decision which had already been made …. it didn’t trigger it.

Why would Johnson have made such a sudden volte face? I think he was Ordered to by the US Military, along with the other 5 Eyes and NATO which is mainly funded by the American Military.

It’s noticeable that Sweden – which didn’t lock down – is in the EU but NOT in NATO.

Good post but…

“..the British Government downgraded Covid from a High Consequence Infectious Disease because they had more data and they knew it had low mortality rates.”

That is a cover story apparently. As I have posted more than once the C1984 was downgraded from HCID because if it it remained as such all potential prophylactics had to remain available which would have meant Hydroxichloroquine and Ivermectin. Once it was downgraded these were removed / made unavailable. The authorities knew these two drugs would kill their “pandemic” and thus the “vaccine” roll out.

C1984 was the gateway virus which paved the way for the mass jabbing. Nefarious, deliberate ? You bet.

Depopulation? Damned right.
