I didn’t manage to get to this Epoch Times story last week, so wanted to deal with it now. Well looks like the RCMP falsely claimed on Feb. 14—the same day cabinet invoked the Emergencies Act—that Freedom Convoy protesters gathered outside Ottawa’s Parliament buildings were armed, internal documents show. FYI, Ottawa Police Service (OPS) interim chief Steve Bell later confirmed no weapons were found among protesters.

An RCMP briefing note which was sent to cabinet deputy ministers titled “Truckers Convoy And Protective Services,” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, went on to say “Intelligence information also suggests that convoy protesters are beginning to weaponize themselves,” Furthermore it stated, “Officers are constantly monitoring the shift in behaviour and will respond accordingly.”

To put this in a historical timeline, the briefing note’s timestamp was dated 12:59 p.m. on Feb. 14. Four hours later, the Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act, granting police authority to use extraordinary force in clearing protesters from Ottawa’s downtown core.

The RCMP briefing note also said that around 250 uniformed officers were outside Parliament and approximately 350 officers were being “deployed daily in support of our protective mandate.”

Cabinet revoked the Emergencies Act on Feb. 23, just nine days after it came into force.

Given our short attention spans these days, let me remind you of what Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told reporters on Feb. 16, while the act was still in force, he stated that Freedom Convoy protesters were committing potentially “deadly” crimes.
“Dangerous criminal activity occurring away from the TV cameras and social media posts was real and organized,” he said, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
Corporate media darling the Toronto Star, not wanting to miss an opportunity at investigate journalism, published an article on March 19 which cited an anonymous police source claiming that some Freedom Convoy protesters had loaded shotguns in their trunks. Those wanting to disparage the truckers, quickly conflated it with the quote un quote January 6th insurrection south of the border
Funny thing though, five days later, Steve Bell Ottawa Interim Police chief at the time contradicted this report while testifying before the House of Commons public safety committee on March 24.

He was asked “Were weapons found? Were loaded firearms found, yes or no?” by Conservative MP Dane Lloyd while questioning Bell over whether the allegations in the article were true.

“No, not relating to any charges to this point,” Bell responded.

Lloyd also asked if cabinet would’ve been informed if police had found loaded firearms amongst the protesters.

“They would have been immediately aware if you had found firearms, correct?” Lloyd said.
“There would have been public notifications made,” Bell replied.

Internal documents from the public safety department’s Government Operations Centre (GOC) dated Feb. 14, also obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, characterized the Freedom Convoy as a peaceful protest having little impact on federal operations.

“Approximately 10 people on Parliament Hill and approximately 100 on the surrounding streets,” read the GOC’s daily security update released the same day cabinet invoked the Emergencies Act.

“No concerns at this time,” said an assessment by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service included in the report.

So, what was the real threat the truckers posed? Simple they dared question the ruling class and the “narrative” said ruling class was pushing around Covid-19. How dare these ultra-right wings, conspiracy loving, bible thumping, family loving, flat earthers ask us, the demi-gods, to show them “the actual science” behind our actions.

In closing I don’t hold out too much hope for this inquiry, this is political theatre folks, none of these paragons of virtue aka politicians will accept any responsibility for their actions. They’ll do what all empty vessels of humanity do, blame someone else and cover their assess! This is all about appearances not consequences. This will give them the necessary cover with their supporters and those who take more seriously NHL standings than the governing of their country, to be able to say, “see we’re committed to getting to the bottom of things and ensure it never happens again, if we weren’t why would we have put this one?”

That’s not to say all is lost, for me personally I see this inquiry as an opportunity to share some of the “truth bombs” that come out of this, such as this story, with those in the “squishy middle, ” in the hopes of waking them out of the delusion that “government is good and government cares” and in the process begin to question “The Narrative!”
