“It Ain’t Over”
Freedom activists are critical thinkers!
Our society is so dumbed down and indoctrinated that anyone who is a critical thinker is labeled as a Conspiracy Theorist
Did you know: The term ‘conspiracy theorist’ was first coined and used by the CIA to ridicule anyone who opposed the gov’t narrative?

Courts
Falsified assault charge
Kelowna Courthouse
R v David Lindsay s. 266 Criminal Code Assault
Next Provincial Court Hearing Date:
Completed
Thank you for all your support and belief for freedom!!
Remember the Freedom Principle:
An attack against one is an attack against all.
An attack against all, is an attack against one.
Next Supreme Court Appeal Hearing Date:
September 9, 2024 2:00 p.m.
This hearing is brief and only to set a date for my appeal hearing, and to determine how it is to proceed.
I hope to proceed on the Jordan delay part of the appeal first. If I am successful the rest doesn’t matter and there is no use trying to raise funds for transcripts I may not yet need.
With thanks to everyone for all your previous help, I have all the transcripts required for the Jordan appeal. I have not ordered the actual trial transcripts, hoping I will not need them. Their cost is incredible and hopefully will not be required.
September 10, 2024 — 2:00 p.m.
Notice of Application to be released from jail until the appeal itself is fully heard
Crown Persecutor Grabavac will undoubtedly oppose this and the appeal on every technicality and falsified grounds he can find.
Sentencing Updates
I would like to just begin once again by thanking God and Jesus for their protection in court, so that I remain able to still write to you today!!! Everyone’s prayers once again, made a big difference against the evils we are up against.
Importantly, I also would like to once again thank all of you so very much for all your kind support, in and outside of the courthouse. Some of you came from far away and I know many are watching intensely across the country. Your ongoing moral support is what will keep me going to preserve our rights and freedoms as well. Surrender is not an option!
My appeal has now been filed to the Court of Appeal on the contempt conviction. My reading of the case law in this area at this Court, is supporting of my position, which is comforting.
This won’t be heard likely until early spring, but I will file my documents on our website as they are completed.

City of Kelowna v David Lindsay et al
Petition to Stop Rallies
December 3, 4, 5, 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)
https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/19003
In a proceeding, a person against whom the proceeding has been brought may apply for a dismissal order under subsection (2) on the basis that
- the proceeding arises from an expression made by the applicant, and
- the expression relates to a matter of public interest.
(2) If the applicant satisfies the court that the proceeding arises from an expression referred to in subsection (1), the court must make a dismissal order unless the respondent satisfies the court that
- the proceeding has substantial merit, and
- the applicant has no valid defence in the proceeding, and
- the harm likely to have been or to be suffered by the respondent as a result of the applicant’s expression is serious enough that the public interest in continuing the proceeding outweighs the public interest in protecting that expression.
I must show we had expression at our rallies, which related to a matter of public interest. I have provided so much evidence, hundreds of pages, in addition to videos, that it is almost unfathomable to think the City will claim otherwise. The City is already admitted that our expressions were a matter of public interest but are claiming that the Petition did not arise from our expressions, but from our refusal to get a permit to have an event.
We had four days before the Hon. Justice Hardwick last week.
Justice Hardwick has shown herself to be at least, a diligent listener. She has read our materials and taken keen notice of various points being raised. She has been respectful at all times.
The City is claiming we are having an event at our protests/rallies, because we are using sound amplification equipment, our CLEAR Canopy (they call a tent), having signs, and selling merchandise. These factors were decided upon in a secret meeting with Bylaw Officer Short and his supervisor, Ken Hunter, and were never made public. Laws must be fixed and certain and this certainly fails to meet this test.
The first problem the City is facing, is that admittedly by the City in evidence, these factors also exist at all public protests. These are called hybrid facts as they can apply to either activity. So how is one to decide if an activity is an event regulated or prohibited under the Bylaws, or a Constitutionally protected freedom of assembly and protest upon just these hybrid factors?
Justice Hardwick did comment to the City that it was going to have a hard time convincing her that our CLEAR Canopy was a tent as alleged.
The problem the City also faces is that Kevin Mead for the City has admitted under oath that I / CLEAR are not selling anything. And I have not been deputized by the City to enforce its Bylaws on anyone who might be so doing.
As a result, already 2/4 factors the City was relying upon, do not exist. Having signs has been readily acknowledged by the SCC as being part of freedom of expression.
The issue really comes down to the use of sound equipment. The City wants to stop this because it is our most effective method of communication. Alternatively, in a worse case situation, this may be (which is strongly denied) a bylaw infraction, but this does not magically turn our protests into an event (which is undefined in the Bylaws.)
Further, the City is claiming that I have to obtain a permit under the Outdoor Events Bylaw for an event under the Parks Bylaw. This is absurd and there is no mention in either Bylaw that one applies to the other.
Both Bylaws require that the City must own or lease the land, ie: at Stuart Park. However, the BCSC ruled in 2008 that the Simpson Covenants imposed a trust upon the City over this land at Stuart Park. Consequently, the requirement to get permits for events/outdoor events does not apply because the City does not own or lease the property as required in the bylaws, it is a trustee in law. The Judge was aware of this, and so far, I have seen nothing from the City to counter this.
Moreover, the 2008 BCSC judgment, held that commercial activities cannot occur in Stuart Park. This immediately prohibits the City from issuing permits for events, because events by their nature, are generally if not exclusively, commercial in nature.
I had no choice but to express a concern to City counsel recently. They were upset that this was taking me a long time in court. There is a lot of evidence to go through, and it as if only lawyers can take days in court and if one is not a lawyer, their representations should not take long. That of course is legally incorrect, but lawyers do not like attention to detail – they thrive on generalities, because that is where fraud lurks.
I think I now know why. I filed my SLAPP application to strike the City’s Petition. I was very detailed with the cases, paragraphs and principles I was referencing. The City filed its Response, with only 11 cases, and no paragraphs being referenced, leaving me uncertain as to where to look in the cases.
On Friday afternoon, in addition to other definitions and evidence, I made reference to a BC statute that defines what a protest is, ie: a disapproval of something. Events of course do not have this essential requirement. Counsel advised that this was in their Book of Authorities, however this was never provided to myself or Lloyd and we knew nothing of it.
There were 34 cases in these Authorities, and only 11 in their Response, meaning that I would never have known of these remaining 23 cases if I hadn’t raised this statute in court. The City was planning on giving me a copy of their Authorities as soon as they started speaking. This means I would have had no way of knowing of these other 23 cases to permit me to research them and reply. In law, this is called, trial by ambush and it is contrary to natural justice and procedural fairness, which require that I am entitled to know their case prior to the hearing, not being surprised during the hearing itself.
Further, they included three cases about me personally from the long past. The problem is that these cases and what was decided in them were not pleaded by the City in its Response and cannot now be used at all. (and their findings were unsupported – but that is another issue.) They were inserted only to bias the Judge against me.
I have emailed counsel for the City and requested that they remove these three cases or I will apply on Dec. 3 to have them removed. Also, to provide me with the paragraphs and principles that they are relying upon in the other 23 cases.
I do not like being surprised like this. I have treated counsel with respect this entire proceeding and this type of action really makes me angry.
So, we’ll see what the City’s response is sometime this week. That is where we stand right now.

Is Telegram Safe? Yes
The conventional wisdom, often echoed by mainstream media that Telegram is inherently unsafe, is unfounded and oversimplified, and amounts to shadow by conjecture and conspiracy theories in my view.
Server-Side Encryption & End-To-End Encryption
In this short-simplified explanation on how Telegram works, more specifically its encryption and its privacy focus, we’ll start with the two main types of encryptions that Telegram uses which is:
- the server-side encryption (the default setting), and
- its end-to-end encryption (secret chats).
While it’s true that Telegram’s default server-client encryption does not offer end-to-end encryption (which is highly regarded as the best type of encryption) for all chats, this does not mean the platform is insecure. Telegram’s server-side encryption ensures that all messages, files and voice calls are encrypted as they travel between your device and Telegram’s servers, as well as when they are stored on those servers. This means that while the data is in transit and at rest, it is protected from unauthorized access.
Why Does Telegram Not Default to End-To-End Encryption?
The strength of Telegram’s server-side encryption model lies in its ability to balance security with functionality. This model enables Telegram to offer features like cloud storage, cross-device synchronization, and instant access to chat history, all without sacrificing security. The server-side encryption allows users to enjoy a seamless, multi-device experience while keeping their messages protected from external threats.
As an example, Signal, a leading messaging app focused on end-to-end encryption introduces some functional limitations compared to services that utilize server-side encryption. For instance, Signal’s multi-device support is limited—users can link a desktop client but cannot easily synchronize messages across multiple mobile devices. This means that if you switch devices, you won’t have access to your chat history unless you manually transfer data, which can be cumbersome. Additionally, Signal doesn’t offer cloud storage for messages, making it harder to backup and restore chat histories seamlessly. These limitations highlight the trade-offs between maintaining strict end-to-end encryption and offering the kind of convenient, feature-rich experience that server-side encryption models, like Telegram’s, can provide. Signal has further been possibly compromised, evidenced from the use of encryption that the CIA approves of. Meanwhile, every government in the world is still unsuccessfully trying to obtain Telegram’s codes to crack it and impose back door access. The recent arrest of Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov in France is directly because he would not release the codes to the French authorities, continuing to protect your privacy. The fact that these governments continue to attempt to obtain these codes and arrest the founder of Telegram, provide conclusive evidence that your privacy is secure. Other apps and services, have all capitulated and provided codes and backdoor access to the CIA and other national and international bodies. Telegram has not.
Telegram is dedicated to privacy but also emphasizes multifunctional use and versatility, which is why it employs both server-side and end-to-end encryption. This dual approach enables Telegram to offer rich features while still providing users with the option for enhanced privacy through Secret Chats when needed.
Who Holds the Private Keys on a Server-Side Encryption?
In a server-side encryption model like Telegram’s, the private keys required to decrypt data are distributed across multiple data centers in different jurisdictions. This means that if a government or other entity wanted access to the private keys, they would face significant legal and logistical hurdles. Specifically, they would need to pursue litigation in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously to obtain all the necessary keys, making unauthorized access through legal means extremely complex and time-consuming. This multi-jurisdictional distribution not only strengthens the security of the data but also provides a robust defense against potential government overreach, ensuring that user privacy is highly protected.
Could the Owner Just Give up the Private Keys If Put under Enough Pressure?
While theoretically possible, it is highly unlikely that Telegram’s owner, Pavel Durov, would surrender the private keys, even under significant pressure. Durov has a well-documented history of prioritizing user privacy and resisting government demands for data access. For example, he famously refused to hand over encryption keys to the Russian government, even when it led to a temporary ban on Telegram in Russia. This stance is rooted in Durov’s strong personal and professional commitment to privacy and free speech, values that are deeply embedded in Telegram’s philosophy.
The value of Telegram lies fundamentally in its commitment to privacy, security, and user trust. If Telegram were ever forced to release its encryption keys, compromising user data, the very foundation of the app’s value would be destroyed. Users flock to Telegram because they trust it to keep their communications secure from prying eyes, whether they be hackers, corporations, or governments. If this trust were broken, the app would lose its core appeal, leading to a massive erosion of its user base of nearly 1 billion users worldwide.
Secret Chats
For users who require stronger encryption beyond the default server-side protection, Telegram offers Secret Chats. These chats provide end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the sender and recipient can access the messages.
Secret Chats are specifically designed for users seeking maximum privacy, utilizing end-to-end encryption to ensure that only the sender and recipient can read the messages. These chats use the MTProto 2.0 protocol, which leverages AES-256 encryption in IGE mode for strong security, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange for establishing secure session keys. Messages in Secret Chats are never stored on Telegram’s servers—they exist only on the devices of the participants. This local-only storage ensures that even Telegram cannot access the content of these chats, providing an additional layer of privacy.
In addition, Secret Chats enhance security by generating a new encryption key for each session, ensuring that even if one key is compromised, past and future communications remain secure. Also, users can set messages to self-destruct after a specified time, providing an extra layer of protection by automatically deleting sensitive information from both devices.
Open-Source Code
Telegram has made its client-side code software open-source, it’s a significant commitment to transparency and user trust. By allowing independent security experts and the broader community to audit the code, Telegram ensures that its software is continuously scrutinized for potential vulnerabilities, backdoors, or other security flaws. This peer review process is invaluable because it allows experts from around the world to identify and report issues, which can then be rapidly addressed by Telegram’s development team or contributors from the open-source community. This level of transparency is crucial in building confidence, as users can trust that the security claims made by Telegram are verifiable and not just taken at face value.
Conclusion
In conclusion it’s my belief that Telegram provides a versatile approach to privacy and security, catering to different user needs. The platform offers both server-side encryption for features like cloud storage and cross-device synchronization, as well as end-to-end encryption through Secret Chats for those who require additional privacy. It’s open-source client-side code allows for independent audits, enhancing transparency and trustworthiness. While no platform is without its trade-offs, Telegram’s combination of privacy features, encryption protocols, and commitment to user security makes it a strong option for those concerned about protecting their communications.

Please remember other innocent people who have stood up for our rights and freedoms against our tyrannical governments during COVID-19 and to the present, who are now in the midst of their ongoing, oppressive trials:
Tamara Lich
Chris Barber
The Coutts prisoners: Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert
Pat King
Tommy Robinson
and many other real victims.
NOTE: Jury decision in the Coutts trial was rendered and the jury determined that they were innocent of the primary charge of conspiracy to commit murder against police officers.
Despite this, they remain in custody now for over 900 days.
Justice Labrenz unbelievably sentenced Carbert to 6 ½ years for possession of a restricted firearm and six months for mischief (to be served concurrently), and Olienick to six years possession of a restricted firearm and six months for mischief, as well as a six month sentence for possession of an explosive also served concurrently, for a similar total of 6 ½ years. Less 900 days (credited to equal about four years).
Make no mistake, no one goes to jail for this length of time on these types of criminal offences.
Counsel for these accused has admitted that an appeal will be filed on Tuesday of this week.
The Crown, Mr. Johnston, to no surprise has already appealed.
Counsel for the accused has submitted a sealed envelope that could implicate one of the prosecutors in criminality. No details have yet been provided, but it is said to be part of the appeals process.
An application will be made shortly to have the prisoners released pending the hearing of their appeal.
Defence counsel have already raised the issue of the jury being pressured into a rushed verdict so as to be released for the August long weekend. This would not be surprising. Other concerns about the jury have already been expressed by counsel that they were culturally biased in relation to a firearms possession charge.

REMINDER
New Credit Card Fees & Lack of Privacy
It is starting – Use cash as much as possible – use credit cards or digital only if there is no other alternative.
The Bank of Canada is admittedly planning for digital currency. It claims that it will not replace cash – BUT – and here is the caveat, it will continue to use cash “notes for as long as Canadians want them.”
In other words, if you don’t use cash, you will lose it. Reading between the lines, it is clear that the Gov’t will simply issue press releases and polls showing most Canadians don’t use and/or don’t want cash, and then the Bank of Canada will claim it has to eliminate cash because few people are using it or want it, and it is, ironically, too costly to maintain printing the notes and coins.
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/digitaldollar/#what-digital-canadian
Bill Still, the US Patriot and author of the incredible documentary, The Money Masters, outlines the results of recent polls showing that 86% of Canadians fear the digital dollar!!! Wow.
87% of Canadians have heard or are aware of the Bank of Canada’s CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), and 82% are strongly opposed to it!!
More on this issue in the next newsletter!
Companies will not use digital currency if we are not using digital currency!
It will cost them too much in lost business.
Here is two awesome posters that you can distribute to all businesses to put on their entrance doors, advocating for the use of cash. Print on 8 1/2 x 11 glossy hard stock for best results.
For Business owners:
The dangers of digital gov’t ID and currencies are here… you need to use cash as much as possible. As recognized by Freedom Rising, there are many inherent dangers of using digital currency. What do you do, not if, but when:
The internet is down
There is a power outage
The card reader malfunctions
Your phone battery dies or doesn’t work for other reasons
WE SUGGEST YOU CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING AS WELL:
Your phone is stolen
Your passwords are co-opted
Your credit/debit card strip is damaged – needs replacing
There are errors in relation to the quantum of $$ on your card
Gov’t limits your purchases/CRA liens the balance on your card
AND MANY OTHER DANGERS
CLEAR has promoted the non-use of digital currencies and credit/debit cards as much as possible, for years.
Suggested Solution:
Withdraw money on Saturday/Sunday from the bank or bank machine, and then leave your money at home if you are scared to carry it with you, and just carry the amounts of cash for each day’s purchases for the week.
NO MORE CARDS!!!! NO EXCUSES!
USE CASH $$$$$$$$$
Do you want to be the next person to be “unbanked” because of your political beliefs????
Get these cards below at the CLEAR booth to give out everytime you use cash – or print your own to hand out!
Make Business sized cards to hand out at all your cash purchases!

Kindness of the week
To all the kind people who have again, continued to support me in court for the past few weeks, both on the falsified criminal charges against me, as well as the City’s attempts to ban our lawful rallies.
And all those who continue to exercise their Constitutional freedom of expression at public protests against government corruption.
Thank you!!!
