Thanks to the actions of J. Brandon Magoo, the bumbling nincompoop who is the nominal head of the American republic, and, with apologies to Ann Coulter, B. Hussein Obama, who almost certainly is the puppet master pulling Magoo’s strings, the world is the closest to nuclear Armageddon that it has ever been. To be more precise, these are the two latest in a string of American presidents including the younger Bush and whichever Clinton was really calling the shots between 1993 to 2001 (most likely Hillary as Bill seemed to be caught with his pants down too often to be the one actually wearing them) who for whatever unfathomable reason, possibly having something to do with Russiophobic ethnics having too much influence in their administrations, made a point of poking the Russian bear with a stick by encouraging anti-Russian hostility on the part of her closest neighbours. In the cases of Bush and Obama, they went so far as to overthrow Russia-friendly governments in Ukraine and replace them with anti-Russian ones by sponsoring colour revolutions in 2004-2005 and 2014 respectively. Donald the Orange is the exception among the American presidents of the last quarter century which is one of the reasons the Bushes and Clintons and Obamas and Magoos all hate him so much. Instead of the business as usual of enriching themselves by minding the rest of the world’s business, promoting instability in one region and war in another, he took the position that the United States should mind her own business.
Vladimir Putin is the excuse that these bellicose warmongering rejects from both the Peace Academy and the School of Just War have pointed to in order to justify their ramping up anti-Russian rhetoric to levels that were not seen even in the Cold War in which that country was run by a regime committed to a cold-blooded, murderous, atheistic, totalitarian ideology. A former agent of the legendary secret police of that regime, Putin has led Russia in either the office of prime minister or president – he has alternated between the two – since 1999. If one were to take seriously what the Clinton/Bush/Obama/Magoo crowd say about him, one would think that he was the corpse of Adolf Hitler, re-animated and zombified by voodoo magic, and hell bent on the quest to conquer the world, seize its lebensraum, and eat its brains. But then if one were to take that crowd’s opinion seriously, one would have to think that the other Vlad, Zelenskyy that is, the president of Ukraine who jumped into that role after starring in a cheap Ukrainian comic television series in which he played a high school teacher who, well, jumped into the role of president of Ukraine, is a champion of freedom and Western values. Considering that most countries in Western civilization are currently celebrating every form of sexual perversion imaginable in the name of the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins it is possible that Zelensky actually is a champion of “Western values.” He is certainly not a champion of freedom but rather the same sort of autocrat that they, rightly or wrongly, have accused Putin of being ever since he first took office.
There would neither be a president of Russia nor a president of Ukraine had an earlier revolution not driven the legitimate claimant to the allegiance of both Russia and Ukraine from his throne then brutally murdered him and his family. I recently reminded a friend that contrary to all the false ideas of the Zeitgeist of the Modern Age government legitimacy does not come from elections, from the “consent of the governed.” Quite the contrary. People, not having legitimate governing authority over each other, cannot delegate such to their representatives. All a government can obtain from the support of its people is power, the ability to compel through the force of numbers. Authority, the legitimate right to lead, can only be passed on from those who had it before. Moreover, legitimate governing authority on earth should be representative in form of the government of the universe in heaven. (1) God is the King of His Creation. Legitimate earthly government is the government of kings, who receive their authority by inheritance from those who went before them and pass it on to those who come after them. The opposite of the Modern “consent of the governed” theory of legitimacy is actually the case. Take my country, for example, the Dominion of Canada. We are a Commonwealth Realm, over which King Charles III reigns, Parliament in Ottawa legislates, and a cabinet of ministers of the Crown chosen by Parliament governs. Parliament is a democratic institution, obviously, but democracy is not the source of its legitimate authority. It is the other way around. Democracy derives whatever legitimacy it has, in our Parliament, the other Commonwealth Parliaments, and the Mother Parliament in the UK, from the king who authorizes Parliament. Yes, most people don’t think about it this way, but most people are wrong. Parliament’s value consists not in the fact that it is democratic, but in the fact that its worth has been proven over a very long period of time, and that worth consists of this, that it takes the power represented by popular support, the potentially dangerous and destructive power that in the wrong hands is what we call “mob rule” and enlists it in the service of law and order by tying it institutionally to legitimate authority. (2)
The last legitimate king to reign over Russia which at the time included, as it historically had, Ukraine, was Tsar Nicholas II of the House of Romanov. He abdicated early in 1917 when the first wave of revolution broke out in Russia but the incompetence of the government that was set up in his place meant that the problems, other than World War I, that had produced the discontent exploited by the first wave of revolutionaries persisted and in the follow up revolution of October 1917 the Bolsheviks, an evil gang of terrorists that was committed to the atheist, socialist, ideology of Karl Marx, and which consisted mostly of members of minority groups that had ethnic and religious grudges against the Russians, the Russian Orthodox Church, and their emperor seized power. The largest such minority group represented was Jews, a fact that people who have more zeal against anti-Semitism than brains don’t like being pointed out because they think that nobody is capable of recognizing that neither “all Jews are Bolsheviks” nor “all Bolsheviks are Jews” logically follows from it (unfortunately, since all the schools seem to be teaching people today is gender confusion, sexual perversion, and racism against white people, rather than the old trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, they may have a point). They then fought a five and a half year civil war to keep and consolidate that power after which they transformed the Russian Empire into the Soviet Union. Early in the civil war, in the summer of 1918, agents of the Cheka, the Bolshevik secret police, murdered Tsar Nicholas, his wife Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna and their five children, and their attendants in the basement of Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg where they had been held captive. Their bodies were taken to the nearby Koptyaki forest and disposed of in such a way that the burial site was not discovered for decades.
In 1981, a few years after the discovery of the burial site, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia recognized the murdered Imperial Family as martyrs and in 2000 they were formally canonized as passion bearers by the Russian Orthodox Church. This was most appropriate. Ivan III Vasilyevich took the throne as Grand Prince or Duke of Moscow in1462 and ten years later married Sophia Palaiologina, the niece of Constantine III Palaiologos, the last Byzantine Emperor who died defending his capital Constantinople against the forces of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1453. Upon this marriage Ivan took the title Tsar, a Russianized form of “Caesar” the title of the Roman Emperor (the Byzantine Empire was the eastern Roman Empire), and while it would be nonsense to claim that he was Constantine’s heir through marriage as there were others in line before Sophia the Tsars did indeed take over from the Byzantine Emperors the role of royal protector of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Tsar Nicholas II, therefore, was in the same position of royal protector with regards to the Russian Orthodox Church when murdered by her enemies that King Charles I had been in with regards to the Church of England when murdered by her enemies in 1649. King Charles I was canonized by the Anglican Church when the provinces of York and Canterbury met in Convocation for the first time after his death when King Charles II was enthroned in the Restoration of 1660. (3)
The Romanov heir, who for obvious reasons would not be a descendent of Nicholas II but the closest other kin, has not yet been restored to the empty throne of the Tsar. Almost a quarter of a century after the canonization of Nicholas II and family it is about time that this be done. Then the illegitimate offices of the presidents of Russia and Ukraine could be done away with as both countries swear allegiance to their legitimate ruler bringing the conflict to an end. Putin could be given a minister’s office in the legitimate government of Russia. Zelensky could go back to his true calling as a television clown. Then Magoo, Obama, and our idiot prime minister Captain Airhead would have to either mind their own business or find somebody else’s business to mind that is less likely to result in mushroom clouds appearing everywhere.
(1) This is extraneous to the subject of this essay, which is why I am putting it here in a note, but the Church’s worship on earth is supposed to be patterned on worship in heaven too. See Fr. Paul A. F.

(3) There is a direct connection between these martyrdoms in that the Puritan revolution and murder of King Charles I in the seventeenth century was the inspiration of the Jacobin revolution and murder of King Louis XVI in France in the eighteenth century which in turn inspired the Bolshevik revolution and the murder of Nicholas II in the twentieth century. King Louis XVI would be another royal martyr although it would have been the Hapsburg Emperor in Vienna at the time whose role in relation to the Roman Catholic Church would have more closely approximated that of Charles I to the Anglican Church and Nicholas II to the Orthodox Church. — Gerry T.

[Sadly, even the good guys are weak. The B.C. Conservative Party grew out of the restrictions of the former provincial Liberals now the BC United Party. Well, divergent thinking has big limits even with these supposed freedom fighters. They nominated COVID craziness critic Dr. Stephen Malthouse, but, as soon as the media hyenas and the high priests of conformity started squawking, they dropped him.

BC Doctor Blames Media and ‘Cancel Culture’ for Provincial Conservatives’ Cutting His Candidacy
Cancelled B.C. Conservative Party candidate Stephen Malthouse is blaming the prevalent “cancel culture” amplified by the media for his party’s decision to cut ties with him just hours after announcing his candidacy.
The Denman Island doctor, whose licence was suspended in 2022 for signing mask and vaccine exemptions, said he bears no ill will toward the Conservatives. Instead he is pointing the finger at political rivals and the negative press he received within hours of the Conservative Party of British Columbia announcing his candidacy March 27.
“The media has been weaponized by the current government and they will attack anyone that is challenging them,” Dr. Malthouse said in an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times. “And that is why there was such a vicious attack on me and the party.”
Multiple media outlets and social media users criticized the party for endorsing a candidate that they alleged had spread “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccine both during and after the pandemic.
“The reaction from the media was such that I think it made [the party] decide I was too much of a distraction from the policies that they wanted to move forward,” Dr. Malthouse said.
“I know the optics of what’s happened in the last few days … is that of cancel culture. There is an element of that. But I think what [leader] John Rustad has done is he’s tried to make the best decision possible for the party.”

The B.C. Conservative Party announced Dr. Malthouse’s candidacy on its website and social media accounts, describing him as a “seasoned family physician” who would be running in the Ladysmith-Oceanside riding. By that evening, all posts related to him had been deleted.
Party president Aisha Estey announced in a March 28 social media post that Dr. Malthouse was no longer a candidate, offering no other explanation than what was in a media statement.
“We are a new party, we have grown at a record pace, but some mistakes are bound to happen,” Ms. Estey said in the statement.
“Unfortunately, we nominated a couple of candidates who ultimately weren’t the right fit for our team. We wish them all the best, and we thank them for putting their name forward.”
Dr. Malthouse says he is disappointed to have been asked to step down, but he understands the party’s reasons.
“My history of speaking out, particularly on the COVID issue” might have caused “confusion about what the party stood for,” he said.
“I was too far out, perhaps, for the majority of voters to understand and to make an informed decision about who to vote for.”
The Epoch Times contacted both the B.C. Conservative Party and the province’s governing NDP for comment but did not receive a reply by publication.
Party Revival in Response to Past Ousters
The B.C. Conservative Party’s revival started after executives of BC United blocked conservative commentator Aaron Gunn’s bid for leadership of the party in the fall of 2021.
Mr. Gunn was attacked by the NDP for expressing views such as denying that Canada has “systemic racism” or is guilty of genocide. He then decided to rebrand the provincial Conservative Party.
In December 2023, Mr. Gunn was nominated as a candidate by the Conservative Party of Canada, running for the North Island-Powell River riding in the next federal election.
The B.C. Conservatives got a boost when then-independent MLA John Rustad crossed the floor to join the Conservatives in February 2023.
Mr. Rustad was kicked out of the B.C. Liberal caucus in 2022 for his views on climate change. He was scolded by B.C. Liberal leader Kevin Falcon for speaking out on behalf of the caucus, saying “politics is a team sport.” The B.C. Liberals have been renamed as BC United since April 2023.
The reprimand and subsequent ousting from the party came after Mr. Rustad reposted a tweet by Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore.
Mr. Rustad was acclaimed leader of the Conservatives last March.

Vaccine and Mask Exemptions
Dr. Malthouse, whose family practice has spanned more than four decades, became known during the pandemic for speaking against COVID-19 mandates in the media and for writing vaccine and mask exemptions for patients.
His decision to go against public health orders has cost him dearly. He is currently being investigated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. and his licence was suspended in March of 2022 after being a member of the regulatory body since 1978. The college accused Dr. Malthouse of signing vaccine and mask exemption forms “that he knew included false statements.”
He said his decision to write exemptions was based on his belief as a doctor that all patients deserve the “autonomy” to decide what is best for their own health.
“Masks have been shown in high-quality studies to not prevent transmission of a virus but to increase Co2 levels and reduce oxygen levels and to actually make a Petri dish of bacteria and fungi” against the face, Dr. Malthouse said.
“If someone told me they don’t want to wear a mask … which fit with the science in terms of its safety and efficacy, I would give them an exemption. I felt that there was no choice.”
He had similar sentiments about people being forced to take a vaccine to preserve their livelihood.
“People were being forced against their will to take an experimental vaccine without being informed about its pros and cons,” he said.
“I felt anyone who did not want to take that vaccine had a right not to take it and I was going to help them to protect themselves and their children to the best of my ability. That’s what doctors do.”
Doctors on Tour
The college has also reprimanded Dr. Malthouse for speaking out against the vaccine.
The public notification for his suspension said he “stated medical conclusions absent any objective medical evidence, and provided diagnoses and courses of action potentially harmful to patients; and used his status as a registrant of the college to attempt to circumvent public health orders.”
At least part of the reprimand is linked to Doctors on Tour, an initiative Dr. Malthouse spearheaded with other like-minded doctors in 2021 to get the word out about “the dangers” of the COVID-19 vaccine.
He said his decision to spearhead the tour wasn’t to build his reputation—“it actually had the opposite effect.” He said he and his colleagues were “desperate” to get started because the government was introducing COVID-19 vaccinations for children.
Among the most serious results, he said, were incidents of young people dropping dead on sports fields from myocarditis.
“That’s what we went out to tell people about,” he said. “We felt it had to be done, and as doctors we were well placed to do that. We know how to read the research and how to understand it, and we know how to communicate with patients and with the general populace.”
With more than 45 years of medical experience, he has long had an interest in integrative medicine, an approach to health care that focuses on natural remedies, good nutrition, exercise, and overall wellness.
Part of the message he hoped to deliver was that traditional medicine, in this case a vaccine, wasn’t the answer.
The Doctors on Tour initiative consisted of six visits across three provinces, with the majority of stops in B.C. Meetings were typically held in small-town churches or similar venues, although there were stops in cities like Vancouver and Victoria as well.
Dubbed the “Educate Before You Vaccinate” tour, the stops drew large crowds despite public health orders to social distance and limit gathering sizes, he said, describing attendees as “desperate” for information that wasn’t being filtered through “mainstream media” and politicians.
The first tour was such a success that the doctors followed up with a second called Justice for the Vaccinated to help those dealing with vaccine injuries.
“There were some people that had six people in their family die,” Dr. Malthouse said. “People would come onto the stage and they would start crying and telling their story. And so we tried to give people a voice to speak out to let people know they were not crazy—which is what their doctors were telling them.”
Looking to the Future
As for Dr. Malthouse’s disciplinary hearing, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. tells him its investigation is still ongoing and has postponed the hearing until later this year.
The college declined to comment other than to say that Dr. Malthouse “continues to be suspended from practice.”
Whether his licence is reinstated or not, the fleeting political candidate plans to be active in BC Town Halls 2024, a non-partisan initiative to inform British Columbians about provincial legislation that “violates” their rights.
Health care is just one of the issues discussed at the town halls, but it is a topic that Dr. Malthouse is especially passionate about.
“More than a million citizens here do not have a family doctor, and walk-in clinics are closing,” he said. “Emergency departments are closing, maternity wards are closing, and people can’t get an ambulance. They’re being sent down to the United States for cancer care. Our health-care system is under attack.”
Dr. Malthouse said he will continue to back the party that dropped him and remains open to serving as a health-care adviser as needed.
He applauds the B.C. Conservative Party for its tough stance on safer supply drugs and removing SOGI from schools, as well as its commitment to rehire health care workers who were fired for refusing the vaccine.
“I still think this party has a chance to save this province, because right now it’s being driven into the dirt.” [THE EPOCH TIMES, April 3, 2024]
As of this writing, 2,000 people have given $200,000 to a marvelous cause, the saving of a great doctor in Toronto from bankruptcy and homelessness. She is Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill, a medical physician to underprivileged children, a soft-spoken and highly trained expert who could not stay silent from 2020 and following. She spoke out against lockdowns, closures, forced masking, and forced shots just as a tyrannical Canadian government had sworn to shut down all dissent.
The Canadian medical associations, media, and government all seized on her simple posting on social media to make an example of her. They hounded her, smeared her, investigated her, and attempted to destroy her career and even life. She attempted a pushback and then they used every mechanism to bankrupt her and drive her to the brink of insanity.
What’s shocking is what a sweet, quiet, and scrupulous woman of faith she truly is. The message seemed to be: we can do this to anyone, so certainly we can do this to you!
As the emergency intensified, friends rallied and put out a fundraiser that pulled together $200K, which was $100K short of what her oppressors were demanding. At this point, Elon Musk jumped into the fray. His legal team at X reached out to her over the weekend and agreed to cover the rest plus add resources to pay her legal liabilities and take her case to the next court level, even if it means a sure loss.
Many of us have been down in the mouth about the state of the world and wondering what we can do about it. We want everything to be better but we’ve also realized that this is not possible. The pandemic planners and all their allies have caused so much destruction that there cannot be justice.
We are fortunate at this point even to retain the freedom to complain about what has happened. They even want to take that away. The baying hounds of corporate media are calling for more and more censorship. It’s all in the name of crushing the competition, which is us.
In this case we have our answer: help those who we can help when the opportunity presents itself, one life at a time. That is how we improve the world. It is not within our power to take away the calamity or end human suffering. But we can touch lives, save lives, rescue lives, and improve lives. In that way, we land a blow against tyranny and for human dignity. (Epoch Times, March 27, 2024)
Whatcott Update, Crown opposes Whatcott Having Jury Trial
Jury box
Dear Friends,
I had my hearing last Monday and my next hearing is scheduled for Monday, July 15 in the Toronto Superior Practice Court for 9:00 am, Toronto time. My pre-trial conference, which I will not be a part of, will be July 5 and possibly 6. The charge I am being tried for a second time, having been once acquitted already, is “Wilful Promotion of Hatred.” This is related to disguising myself as a Gay Zombie Cannabis Consumer and marching in the 2016 Toronto Homosexual unGodly Pride Parade and handing out 3000 Gospel flyers warning about the health, social, and spiritual consequences of the homosexual lifestyle and offering the forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
Colossians 1:13,14
The Crown elected to proceed by indictment, rather than by summary prosecution. Indictable is more serious and carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison and it is my understanding that this is why I am entitled to a jury trial, rather than being tried by judge alone. Interestingly, the first time around I had a right to a jury trial and this was acknowledged by Justice Goldstein and preperations were being made for a jury trial right up to the last moment when on my former lawyer John Rosen’s advice, I elected to go judge alone. In December 2021, I was acquitted and I thought that was the end of the matter.
The Crown Attorney appealed my acquittal and in August 2023 the Ontario Court of Appeal decided my acquittal was a serious legal error, as the judge in my first trial did not properly consider the “expert” evidence of Nick Mule,’ a homosexual activist from York University and a member of Queer Ontario. Nick Mule’s expertise was in Kink and Queering Social Work and he wrote a paper arguing I committed microggressions when I distributed my flyers in the pride parade and these microagressions caused “minority stress” amongst pride participants and this was criminal hate speech.
Legally speaking, I can’t show you the flyer that is alleged to be a microagression and possibly criminal hate speech, but I know MassResistance put it up on their website in the United States.
Even though I had a right to a jury trial for my first trial, my lawyer has advised me the Crown Attorney is opposed to me having a jury trial for my second trial. Their argument is I waived my right to a jury for the first trial and a jury trial is too expensive to be justified for the second trial. Of course I didn’t ask for a second trial, it’s the Crown that decided to appeal, not me.
Anyways, I haven’t been able to get hold of my lawyer since court last week, but as I get more information, I will let you know what is happening. I believe my lawyer is petitioning the courts as we speak to allow me to exercise my right to a trial by judge and jury for the second trial, just as I had that right for the first trial.
In Christ’s Service,
Bill Whatcott

Update on June 13, hearing
Crown Persecutor David Grabavac continues to seek three years probation, 9-12 months in jail, and a 10 year weapons ban.
Make no mistake – unless I win on appeal – this implies that anyone who touches a gov’t official could go to jail. Case in point – look at the Rebel News reporter David Menzies incident, where the RCMP intentionally pushed into Menzies and they arrest and charge him! This is our future if I lose on appeal – gov’t officials will attack us and we will be charged!
Grabavac has backed off on the DNA sample due to the statistics I provided the Judge showing that only 12.5% of assault charges result in a DNA sample, and those are usually the most violent of assaults. As well as the fact that this incident was so minor he could not even provide legal or factual justification for his request.
During trial, Grabavac was continually looking back and exchanging smiles and visual clues with Castanet, INFONews and other reporters. Grabavac is using the media as his own public publication company.
Grabavac continues his quest unabated to have me jailed for four months on the contempt charge.
Crown is still pressing this issue, claiming that my apology was a lie, due to comments I made on Action4Canada in March, one month prior to filing my revised apology letter, about the lack of independence and bias of the judiciary in my case. Another attack on freedom of expression by Grabavac. It was entered solely to get the judge consciously or unconsciously vengeful against me.
I told Heinrichs that she had already ruled the contempt can be purged with my letter and she cannot now go and change that, or accept new evidence (functus), and there was no application from Grabavac to do so. The contempt was for failing to comply with a court order and telling her I didn’t have to. These recent comments on Tanya’s show were made outside of court and J. Heinrichs has no jurisdiction for contempt ex facie and Grabavac cannot introduce new evidence on a previous decision made. Grabavac’s sole purpose was to bias the judge even more.
Grabavac raised my interview with Tanya in March, 2024 and my comments about the judge being biased and compromised and other quotes from this interview and from Tanya, to show that I had not purged the contempt. The contempt in fact only had to do with whether I would comply with court orders or not, which I have. I never made any mention in this interview of disobeying court orders. Then Grabavac claimed that because Heinrichs said I had one hour for representations today and I went longer (she let me without notice or warning), it shows I had lied in the apology letter to comply with court orders. Meanwhile, Heinrichs gave Grabavac 20 min to reply, and he took 2 ½ hours. He said at 12:30 he would be 30 min in the afternoon, and took 90 min.
Crown also argued that the fact that I said Smith had no power to ban me from the building, was not relevant. Grabavac said even God cannot override Smith’s power to ban me. This issue was relevant to sentencing as it showed my motives for trying to enter the building. Get this, I wanted my affidavit to go on the record for sentencing. The Judge said this would open me up to cross examination. I said sure, I was prepared to be cross examined. Then she backtracked and said she would not let me give my affidavit evidence, or oral. That was a big error – denying me my right to introduce evidence at sentencing??!!!
She would not let me play the Aug 11 video showing and tender as an Exhibit, showing Smith assaulting Leo without provocation and then lying to the police that I caused a disturbance to ban me. My video however, shows that Smith lied of course and no disturbance was caused. This is relevant to my motives for entering and reasons why I did what I did. Not for personal gain, but because I believed that there was no authority for him to block me. I had excellent quotes on this in relation to sentencing as well from a court case. It is a judicially recognized mitigating factor.
But he allowed Grabavac to put Tanya’s show into evidence as an exhibit.
So, J. Heinrichs would not allow this or my two videos from Sept. 13 and 29, 2021 IH protests to show that no further offences have occurred after the Aug 19 incident, and IH had no security concerns. I had other videos and she claimed I could not enter those because I should have done so earlier in the day. I did try, but she shut me down.
Judge wants to know if I would be acceptable to an ankle bracelet if conditional sentencing is imposed – this telling me that she is going to throw me in the hoosegow on July 10, which is sentencing day. This tells me that she has already started to work on the judgment prior to today’s date as she cannot go through the evidence and submissions and write this judgment in three weeks – or else has another judge helping her which is possible as she is a family court judge. This is just amazing for this 1.5 fleeting touching.
Grabavac is talking on and on to ring up transcripts costs as well. Adjourned to July 10. I obtained info from probation on ankle bracelets – only to discover Grabavac had called them in advance to advise that I was coming. What else did they discuss?
So much happened in court it was unbelievable. Grabavac attacked the gallery, and virtually everyone who filed a supporting character reference letter. He submitted pix of signs from our rally claiming that they were rude and offensive. “You can shove your masks up Bonnie Henry’s ass” caught his attention.
I coined a new term in court: Grabavism. He seemed proud of this was smiling at the reporter.
This is where a prosecutor argues to the court, that gov’t officials can place orders or demands on people even without authorization at law to do so, and if you don’t comply, or try and exercise your rights, freedoms or privileges, you will be charged and thrown in jail. Even if the official had no power to issue the demands or orders at law. Characterized by intense misrepresentation of facts or law to support this.
This is: Grabavism
It is the complete destruction of the rule of law in Canada
Instead of helping me get my evidence and submissions on the record as required by law, Heinrichs pulled every trick and every decision possible to prevent me from doing so. Grabavac of course, got all his evidence on the record, and I got none.
The appeal will be interesting to say the least.

City of Kelowna v David Lindsay et al
Petition to Stop Rallies
June 19, 20, 21, 2024 10:00 a.m.
1355 Water St.
Kelowna Courthouse
for hearing on my SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) application to strike the City’s Petition against us. (See the B.C. Protection of Public Participation Act)
I urge everyone who can make it out to come. This is an extremely important case where the City is trying to shut down all rallies unless you have their permission. All your freedom of expression rights are on the line.
We have recently been provided from a reliable source, excellent supporting information about the positive results of the protests outside vaccination clinics, by Bruce, Linda, Penny and many others. Without this feedback, people might be led to believe we are having no effect. We now know just what an amazing impact they had.
But we are!! We have had an effect far beyond what the eyes can see. This hearing will cost the City between $10-$20 000.00, just for this week!
That they would be spending this amount of moolah on little ol’ us, is just nuts, unless they are an underlying motive just to ban us.
Why? Why would they go to all this effort to ban our rallies, unless we did and continue to have a major impact upon people. Being in the public eye is critical. Out of sight, out of mind applies otherwise.
Local Judge Hardwick, appointed two years ago by Trudeau, will be the judge in this case.
BC Supreme Court starts at 10:00 a.m., not 9:30.
Three days have been set aside to hear my SLAPP application. Lloyd will also be present to make his representations as well. I am unclear how we will be proceeding and there will undoubtedly some preliminary issues to be discussed as well.
I expect to be going first and talking all day Wed and into Thursday at some point. Then Lloyd, than the City. Whether we get done in three days or not is unknown.
Elizabeth Anderson, counsel for the City will not be appearing. Instead, two lawyers, local lawyer Barry Williamson and Vancouver lawyer Nick Falzon will be appearing for the City.
Here is the bio for Williamson:
Barry, is an associate counsel with Young, Anderson, having retired from the partnership at the end of 2023. Before joining the firm in 1991 Barry spent several years as a prosecutor with the Province’s Crown Counsel office, followed by four years as in-house counsel with the City of Vancouver’s Law Department. As trial and appeal counsel at the firm, he has represented local governments on such diverse subjects as employment, contract, negligence, bylaw, expropriation, enforcement, constitutional and bad faith issues. Barry has taught municipal law subjects at the UBC Law School, the Justice Institute’s Bylaw Enforcement course and at the Capilano College Local Government Administration course. He was formerly the Vice President of the B.C. Expropriation Association and has made presentations to that group and the Municipal Law subsection of the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association. He co-authored with Greg Cockrill an article dealing with freedom of expression on municipal property which appeared in Municipal Lawyer, the publication of IMLA, the International Municipal Lawyers Association.

Toronto Cops Investigate Ezra Levant for “Hate” for Criticizing Palestinian Supporters
[Last fall, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw, announced that the Toronto Police Service was upping it’s thought control unit, oops, “hate squad” from 8 to 36 officers. What a woke waste of manpower. There are almost daily gang shootings, mostly of Blacks by Blacks, many unsolved, but hey, divert manpower to thought control. Well, the hate squad has laboured mightily and come up with a potential criminal — EZRA LEVANT. Last Thursday, Mr. Levant received the annual George Jonas Free Speech Award in Toronto from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom. Now, he’s under investigation for the use of a sound truck going around Toronto criticizing the many pro-Palestinian protests since October 7. The cops suspect “Islamophobia” If charged under Sec. 319, Canada’s notoriousd”hate law,” A conviction could see Ezra Levant jailed for two yea. Ironically, the “hate law” was introduced after three decades of lobbying and pressure by the Canadian Jewish Congress. Ezra Levant is Jewish. — Paul Fromm]
, I’ve got some breaking news — it’s another censorship battle, probably our biggest one ever. I need your help to save free speech in Canada. The Toronto police are officially investigating Rebel News for running ads by local community activists on our Rebel News billboard truck. The ads were created by a group called “Canadians Opposed to the Occupation of our Streets and Campuses.” It’s a bit of a mouthful, but it tells you everything: they’re against the pro-Hamas gangs that have been running wild across Canada. The advertisers are anonymous because they know they’d face retaliation for speaking out — that’s how bad things are these days
. I think I know why people feel so desperate that they’re taking out anonymous ads on our trucks. They feel completely abandoned and ignored by the institutions they rely on. They want to speak out — because no one is speaking for them. I know the feeling — the reason we bought the truck in the first place is because all the truck companies we used to work with tell us they’re too scared to criticize Hamas, because they’re worried their trucks will be attacked and their drivers could be injured.
The ads just show actual footage of what the pro-Hamas gangs are doing to Toronto — including committing real crimes ignored by the police and politicians. In the case of this particular ad, the images included pro-Hamas gangs shutting down the streets in downtown Toronto. Toronto Police declared that the ads are “Islamophobic” and suggested that a hate crime had been committed. A crime!
Toronto police don’t think the pro-Hamas street gangs themselves are committing hate crimes. They think the ad we ran on our truck is a hate crime. It’s actually pretty serious.If convicted for “hate speech” I could be jailed for up to two years just for running that ad. And don’t think they won’t try — our Rebel News reporters have been arrested by Toronto police several times just for asking Hamas supporters questions. The police hate us because we’re not silent and obedient, which is what they’ve told the Jewish community to be. I’ve hired a lawyer and we’re going to fight. Because this is Canada, not Gaza.
We still have free speech here, for now. We’ve set up a special website at www.SaveTheTruck.com. But it’s really about more than this truck. It’s about cancel culture. And the weaponization of hate speech laws. And two-tier policing. In the case today, we were running the ads for another group of loyal Canadian citizens who felt totally abandoned by the police and politicians. Real Canadians don’t shoot schools or take over campuses. They run ads on our truck. It’s called free speech — you can look it up in our Charter of Rights. I’ve been fighting against censorship my whole life. I’m not going to stop now.
There is a crime wave in Toronto, and it’s not ads from scared citizens worried about Hamas gangs. It’s the Hamas gangs themselves. I’m going fight this like hell — you know I will. We’re going to take the truck out again. Because I’m a free man in a free country — at least for now. I have broken no laws.
And if the Toronto police think they can bully us into silence, well, bring it on. I still believe enough in our country and even our courts to know that this trumped-up censorship will not stand. Police should be embarrassed they’re investigating the messenger, instead of understanding the message. I was born and raised in Canada, and so was my dad, and so was his dad, all the way back to 1903. This country is built on free speech, and I’ll be damned if some Hamas thugs, and their obedient shills in Trudeau’s police force, can scare me into silence. If you want to support me, go to www.SaveTheTruck.com. You won’t just be saving the truck or saving me — you’ll be saving freedom of speech in our great country. Thank you for helping us fight back. Yours truly, Ezra Levant

On June 12, in a shocking development, the Southern Poverty Law Center ($PLC to VDARE.com) announced it was laying off 60 employees, one quarter of its staff, and, in an apparent change of direction, closing some entire operations. My inspection of its financial reports reveals no recent funding shortfall (unfortunately). So what is going on?
The $PLC has acquired a very articulate union, which posted a long and vitriolic denunciation thread on Twitter:
Today, @splcenter – an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for “hoarding” donations – gutted its staff by a quarter.
As of this writing, Google News has picked up no reports of this event in the Regime Media. Their extreme interest in and reverence for the SPLC has been put on hold. No doubt they are waiting to be told the Party Line.
Neither has the SPLC deigned to put up a statement on its Press Center website page.
BREAKING: The far-left smear factory Southern Poverty Law Center is laying off staff, according to its union. The move comes one week after SPLC smeared a record number of mainstream conservatives as “hate” and “antigovernment extremist” groups.https://t.co/buYLyxvxnRpic.twitter.com/rWZDsAUidM
The Southern Poverty Law Center … has… contributed to a climate of fear and hostility in America. Hotels, web platforms, and credit card companies have blacklisted law-abiding Americans because the SPLC disagrees with their political views … Corporate America, Big Tech, government, and the media are wrong to take the SPLC’s disingenuous tactics at face value.
I must admit this book flew under my radar screen. I plan to buy it: SPLC-watching is getting interesting again.
O’Neil’s account brings one up to date on this curious organization. Among other tidbits
In the wake of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, the SPLC remained silent. The SPLC Union released a statement before the SPLC did, and the union expressed “solidarity with the Palestinian people,” condemning Israel for “the violent imperialist desecration of a people—the beginnings of a genocide.”
…When the SPLC finally did release a statement about the Oct. 7 attacks, it falsely accused Israel of targeting Palestinian children in Gaza for airstrikes. [Links in original]
The impact was immediate. Despite there being in those days very few effective spokesmen for patriotic immigration reform, Regime Media inquiries abruptly stopped, as did major Talk Radio invitations.
The SPLC was thus allowed to determine the scope of debate. They have continuously abused this power to harm the Historic American Nation.
What I found astonished me. Running huge surpluses from what Peter Brimelow called in his article cited above “a shakedown scam that preys on the elderly, Holocaust-haunted rich,” the SPLC had created for itself what it misleadingly calls an “Endowment Fund.” Normally in charities, this would mean a legally established capital fund from which only the income can be drawn. But the use of the SPLC’s endowment is entirely at the whim of the Directors.
And, instead of being held in convenient liquid form, the great bulk of the assets of the “Endowment Fund” have been committed to hedge funds, private equity managers, and other strange instruments, generally illiquid and in some cases hard to value (like President Trump’s real estate holdings). As of October 31, 2023, 89.6% of the “Endowment Fund” was in this category.
I also discovered (I believe I was the first) that the SPLC has a Cayman Islands bank account. Why a tax-exempt foundation needs banking facilities in a tax haven continues to mystify me.
Turning to their most recent accounts, their Audited Financial Statements of October 31, 2023 and their IRS Form 990 of the same date, we find:
The $PLC had $7.9 million in cash on October 31
Their so-called “Endowment Fund” was valued at $662 million then—87.8% of their total assets.
They still have a Cayman Islands bank account.
They took in no less than $110.9 million from the public in the year.
As I said in a later discussion of this strange phenomenon:
The Southern Poverty Law Center has effectively turned itself into a “Fund of Funds.” These are entities that exist to divide resources between a selection of hedge funds, which they monitor… [the SPLC] is really a financial institution with a comparatively small public interest litigation annex attached.
Exactly why the SPLC management is going to all this trouble is difficult to see. Perhaps they enjoy running money, but actually benefiting personally from a capital pool lodged in a 501(c)(3) is not easy.
So what is the $PLC’s mad scramble for enrichment all about?
Does the controlling clique at the Center one day intend to throw off its mask, let fundraising wither, and draw out massive salaries with minimal activity—a pattern not unknown in foundations with inherited endowments?
President Margaret Huang’s action is shutting down marquee programs like the Learning for Justice department and the Southern Immigrant Freedom Initiative, which provided free legal representation to detained immigrants across Georgia, Louisiana’ and Mississippi, certainly does suggest a loss of commitment.
Huang, right, was only imported in April 2020, after still unexplained scandals forced the eviction of cofounder Morris Dees and President Richard Cohen. She has absolutely no institutional history with the SPLC and quite possibly no institutional loyalty. Being Chinese may also reduce her interest in black/white conflict.
Furthermore, in note 14 of the financial statements, I read
On December 7, 2023, the Center closed on a 2.5 acre parcel located in Atlanta, Georgia amounting to $10,200,000…The establishment will be the site of the Center’s future Atlanta office.
If the land cost $10.2 million, the whole project must be several times that: big, even for the $PLC. I suspect Huang, who, although raised in East Tennessee’ has spent her adult life mainly in New York and Washington, is planning to move the whole outfit from hick Montgomery to cool Atlanta.
And yet, and yet… why was such a wholesale and embarrassing butchery needed?
I think Tyler O’Neil may have uncovered the reason. Since the Hamas October 7 attack, the Left has been falling into civil war. Surprisingly fierce pro-Palestinian forces have activated. These include apparently the SPLC Union.
But it turns out that the “elderly Holocaust-haunted rich,” or more to the point their even richer descendants, have no intention of extending to this faction the political tolerance long claimed for Leftist demonstrators generally.
This is a huge problem for the SPLC because it has long drawn much of its funding from these people (and the entities they influence).
I think, besides the $PLC management’s probable wish to lead a quieter and more elegant life, this was a Stalin-style Purge of Left Deviationists. In fact, it was an act of terrorism. The Union lost five stewards and their “Chair.” Perhaps the departments liquidated were particular strongholds of forbidden opinion.
For as long as the $PLC remains in Montgomery, this puts the remaining employees in a stressful situation. There are not many communist think tanks in Montgomery.
Many critics have long believed that the SPLC, notwithstanding its pretensions, is simply an instrument for Jewish ethnic interests.
This weekend, more unemployed Montgomery residents may be newly willing to agree.
This is what happens when you have idiots in charge.Just like a president who is committing treason by creating a foreign invasion into the states and then treason again by giving them the ‘people’s’ money to live here.
LA City Council Removes U-Turn Traffic Signs Because They Say They’re Anti-Gay –

A phobia is an irrational fear. Homophobia is described as an irrational fear of gay individuals. Is there a term for an irrational fear of being discriminated against? If so, I think several on the far left would fit the category.
Derangement is at an all-time high with members of the “LGBTQIA+” community (how many letters of the alphabet do we plan to add?) now taking their activism to the streets — or more literally, the street signs.
LA City Council removes several “no U-turn” traffic signs in Silver Lake, California, because they were considered “anti-LGBTQ”
For the majority of the country, street signs are understood to have colors and designs that direct traffic clearly. There is no partiality. But then there are the select few who somehow find a way to write a narrative about the hate-filled history of our seemingly innocent traffic directors.
“Los Angeles has a rich history of welcoming the LGBTQIA+ community, but there has also been real and present homophobia— which at times has been inscribed into the city’s physical spaces, as with these no-U-turn signs,” Raman said in a prepared statement.
According to the recent discovery, these signs were created to inconspicuously keep traffic away from gay bars and areas.
In the late 90s when the internet was still new and gay dating apps like Grindr did not exist, queer men sometimes relied on printed guidebooks that listed public areas where they could find love, sex and community without outing themselves. Among those areas was West Hollywood, where anti-gay traffic signs similar to the ones removed Monday were installed in 1991 and later removed — and Griffith Park Boulevard in Silver Lake, where Soto-Martinez and Raman’s districts now meet.
Who would have thought? Well, not even members of the LQBTQIABCDEFG+ community. Even the ceremonial event’s leading drag queen spokesperson admitted he had to look hard for these signs of discrimination.
“I was unaware of those signs and never would have found [them],” said Pickle, West Hollywood’s inaugural drag queen laureate who performed at the removal ceremony. The signs were an “insidious” form of discrimination that he and others simply “didn’t have any context for,” Pickle said.
This highlights the foolishness of those on the far left who want to make decisions for our country but can’t even support basic street signs that direct traffic flow. Is there anything safe?
Once again, their obsession with attention and dominance supersede all logic and takes up valuable time that could be focused on real problems.
LA City Council seems to have a thing for allegedly discriminatory traffic dealings. They recently voted to “look into” limiting traffic stops that they deem target black and poor communities.
The Los Angeles City Council voted 13-0 on Wednesday to begin a study into if the city can limit the LAPD into halting “pretextual” traffic stops, if a new unarmed agency can conduct traffic stops for minor infractions such as expired tags, and limiting fines in poorer communities.
Debate over traffic enforcement laws have become a hot button topic since the George Floyd incident and subsequent protests 4 years ago. Cities such as Los Angeles have continuously received calls to limit the practice, as they have claimed a racial disparity. They have cited studies, such as a 2022 report that found the black people in California accounted for 13% of all traffic stops despite being just 5% of the population, that have shown such disparity. However, law enforcement officials have said that minor infraction stops often have led to more major drug and weapons charges, which otherwise may have gone unnoticed if not for the infraction.
By these accounts, it seems that lawlessness is the end goal of the LA City Council. They are traveling steadily along the path. It’s no wonder people are flocking to red states…At least in Texas, Arizona, or Florida, you can have an undisputed traffic sign.
