Second is a detailed update on today’s awesome media rally.  Awesome if only because we had a great attendance, a beautiful day, and definitely got the media’s attention.  Please see the attached pix!!!

We had approximately 30 committed supporters of freedom on a sunny and warm summer Okanagan day, though not all of them made the pix. Our rally began as a result of an article in Castanet (online news) from reporter Sarita Patel, in relation to our fact brochures we handed out on the nature of the COVID-19 issue. She interviewed the person who found the brochure, and did not contact us at all to fulfill her investigative journalistic duties.

I contacted her, and was told by her boss that they would not be interviewing me because they are supporting B.C. Public Health Minister Bonnie Henry.  This because their belief and support for Ms. Henry is not being permitted to be challenged by investigative journalism – ie. it is a form of wilfull blindness, recklessness, and pure corruption.  As demonstrated below, anyone who simply doesn’t believe what the gov’t tells them, is some form of conspiracy nut, and media outlets continually claim to be supporting gov’t propaganda and lies, without any intellectual debate on the statistics, procedures and death counts.  No one is being allowed to challenge them.

Gov’ts have grossly over reacted to what true statistics prove, is no more dangerous than, at most, a serious strain of the flu. 

Forover 99% of the people who catch the virus, it is not life threatening.  Focus should be on those most at risk, not shutting down our entire society and forcing everyone to live in fear and paranoia. 

Four Canadian epdemiologists in the National Post recently, wrote that the chances of dying from a COVID infection if you are under 65 years of age, is 1/166 666, or the same as being hit by a car.  We have so many facts in relation to this issue, as well as on the masks and social distancing issues, that it is becoming hard to know where to start analyzing them all.

What has been done is nothing less than a criminal misrepresentation of the seriousness of this virus, by our governments.  This information on our position is critical to understanding what happened in the local Castanet Letters column, which I will explain shortly below.

Moreover, it is not merely the absence of investigative reporting by these gov’t propaganda media outlets that is worrisome, it is their repetitive labelling and derogatory allegations being made against us, without even providing us the opportunity to provide them intelligent rebuttal.  One could say it is, or borders on the line of slander, defamation or libel – as well as deception/fraud. And of course, if prevents the truth of our cause from becoming mainstream and the public living with lack of knowledge and in abstract and unnecessary fear.

As a result, of this ongoing misrepresentation by the MSM in B.C. and in Canada, our group here in Kelowna made the bold and unprecedented decision to hold a rally in front all local media outlets here in Kelowna today, to voice our concerns over the substance of their reporting as well as their refusal to hear us.

Our first stop was the Kelowna Daily Courier. We were met within minutes by 4-5 staff outside all taking pictures of us and our signs. I met with Mr. Ross Freake who was standing in for news reporters who are on holidays.  Mr. Freake was colourfully respectful to us/me in our brief discussions, and advised me that he would contact the reporter on Thursday or Friday, and get back to me. 

A woman official also sought answers to her questions.  Upon satisfying her queries, she advised me that she was going to contact the publisher in relation to our position on COVID-19, mask and social distancing.  She was pleasant, appeared concerned on the issues I raised, non-abusive and polite. 

Contrary to their word, the very next day (Thursday) the Kelowna Courier printed this article on the front page of their newspaper today, titled: “Virus-doubting protesters picket Kelowna media outlets”.

http://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/article_205bcf5e-d760-11ea-a069-5f52e48dadf0.html

This exact same article was also printed in the Penticton Herald, with a different title: “COVID conspiracy theorists picket media outlets in Kelowna”, with the following endnote:

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Herald stands by its coverage on COVID-19 and stories by other news agencies that we have published. We 100% support the scientific and medical research presented by Dr. Bonnie Henry, Dr. Theresa Tam and Dr. Anthony Fauci

Mr. Freake promised me that they would not do an article without seeking our opinion on the matter.  He agreed with me that writing a story from only one point of view, is pure propaganda.  It is obvious that the word of a media representative is about as reliable as that of a politician.  Almost.

We were unable to locate the CTV location.  I had an address from the net that appeared to be incorrect.  I could not locate a phone number. People in other buildings refused to assist.  So, we moved on to Castanet.

Within minutes of our arrival, a super-charged angry man came out of the building specifically asking for “Dave”. I introduced myself, upon which he demanded to know why we were there.  I professionally informed him that it was the article in his news service that started this by having a report published with incorrect information about us and refusing to permit us to correct the erroneous allegations or provide the facts that we rely upon.

Further discussions ensued, where I informed him that a Castanet official reneged on her word to me that we could publish a small article/ad in the paper for our rallies as well, and then reneged on her word on the advice of a superior.

This official, who refused to introduce himself, was extremely angry, belligerent and made every attempt to provoke our group into a confrontation.  Fortunately, this did not occur.  His claim of calling the police and that they were on there way, was an absolute lie, and no police showed up at all. In fact, a police car even drove by and continued right past us without stopping.

This official continually interrupted me and subsequently then went into the building, but not after a reporter took some pictures of some of the group and subsequently included them in an article that went up on the Castanet site about an hour later: https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/307091/COVID-conspiracy-theory-protesters-set-up-outside-Castanet#307091

Shortly thereafter, a local radio station official arrived and requested an interview.  As per usual, he had no business cards.  However, he was professional and respectful in his questions and demeanour.  I was allowed to fully answer all his questions without interruption and his questions were not deceptive or inflammatory. 

As with the Courier, I told him politely that I wanted an interview with his morning DJ and he said he would raise it on Thursday morning with him and contact me again Thursday or Friday.    As of this writing, I have received no calls from this man and it appears that he is following the same trustworthiness of other “professional” journalists. Then it was off to Global News.

As you can see from the above article, the Castanet official claims that we were going to other media outlets, and I suspect he called them in advance. Upon arrival at Global, entrance was denied and communication was only by speaker phone. I was told all news room were out on assignment, until an unknown time.  Unsurprisingly.  I left some of our materials with them and after ½ hour we left to the CBC.

No one answered the locked door, nor the buzzer.  Phone calls were routed to news reporters who did not answer and went to voice mail. We remained here for ½ hour and then ended our rally back at Stuart Park.

So, it was an eventful day and we most definitely caught the attention of most if not all the local media here.  Unfortunately, it appears that this attention was merely that of role playing. Every media outlet’s news reporters were conveniently unavailable.  This is no coincidence.  They simply do not wish to discuss facts, but to promulgate lies and outright deception. 

All group members were adamant that if the media continues to ignore us, and/or publish incorrect or misleading information about us, we will be back better and stronger!!   It appears that come September, we will be back at their doorsteps with even more people. Fraud lurks in silence – we will expose them.

I hope this will set a precedent for other communities to protest their local and national medial outlets in their communities, who are failing or refusing to do proper investigative journalism, and are simply propaganda arms of our governments.

The most important advice I can give anyone in so doing, is to have your position supported by facts.  Know in advance how your province is misleading everyone with falsified stats.  Timelines are critical – why are all these masks impositions occurring now when there are virtually no deaths?  BC has had almost 100 cases of COVID and no deaths recently, yet are imposing mask requirements on all buses.

These masks are nothing more than a safety blanket for the superstitious masses, who simply want something to believe in that will save them. 

Third: our next rally is Saturday, August 8, 2020, 12:00 noon at Stuart Park in beautiful Kelowna, B.C.

We need as many people as possible

for our rallies!

If you have been unable to make it out to previous rallies, NOW is the time to come out!!!!

Bring at least two friends!!!

There will be several new issues to chat about on Saturday.  BC has capitulated and will be forcing masks on public transit beginning in later August.  Walmart has also decided to require masks in the stores.  This likely will mean more mask requirements in other stores.  This is going to require a massive amount of sacrifice on our part if this happens. 

We cannot simultaneously wear masks while complaining that they are unlawful. 

The mask issue is polarizing the entire country and breaking up friendships and families. 

If it comes to a choice of freedom or friends/families, do we sacrifice our freedoms for others who either don’t care about them or stand in fear?  If this was the case, we would never have reached this stage (prior to COVID-19) to begin with.  Strategy will play an important role for us to discuss.

Theresa The Communist-WHO official Tam said recently in her August 6, 2020 press release:

We must maintain our resolve and ensure our actions are guided by the best available science and evidence. With the rise of social media and

other digital platforms, we are consuming more information than ever before. However, some of this information, including certain claims about

COVID-19, is false or misleading.

In our fight against COVID-19, we need to do our part to stop the spread of misinformation. When we come across new information, we need to

think critically about it, check it against credible sources and not share it further if there is any doubt as to its validity.

Once we have confirmed our sources of factual information, we need to use it to avoid labelling as much as possible.  It is one thing to be called

names when someone has no information to support their position, it is quite another to be called those same names when we do have supporting

facts, but they choose to ignore them. That is when we can go on the offensive.  Facts = credibility.

In an article in the Vancouver Sun, Health Minister had this ominous quote attributed to him:

As we approach our B.C. Day long weekend, let’s acknowledge right now that it can’t be like any B.C. Day long weekend we’ve ever had.  This is our first B.C. Day celebration in our B.C. new normal.”

Use ‘COVID sense’ to stop the spread and stay safe

Van. Sun July 27, 2020  p. A11

Reading between the lines provides a frightening look into the future: there will be many more B.C. Day long weekends under similar circumstances as we see now, ie: this is permanent and will never end.

We cannot permit this to happen. Which leads directly to the real new normal that WE will practice.

The Real New Normal from now on, is:

Live normally and just say NO!      

Do not fall into the trap of believing that it is only because of the Gov’t’s social distancing/masks demands that stores can now begin to slowly open.  To the contrary, it is directly because of the Gov’t’s actions that we have sustained tens of billions of dollars in economic losses, permanent job losses, unknown deaths and needless suffering from cancelled surgeries, and incurred further health care costs resulting from these cancelled tests and surgeries, and actually placed thousands of people’s health and lives at risk.  Communist PM Trudeau, Premier Horgan, Health Minister Dix, and Public Health Officer Bonnie Henry are the true cause of these problems and short of a public apology and immediate cancellation of the lockdown and social distancing policies, must be voted out of office next election, or fired for Ms. Henry. And criminally charged.

See everyone on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 9:00 a.m., at Stuart Park – for our first Media Rally! Protest Media Censorship

See everyone on Wednesday, August 5, 2020  9:00 a.m., at Stuart Park – for our first Media Rally!

We need as many people as possible

for this all too important media rally!

If you have been unable to make it out to previous rallies, NOW is the time to come out!!!!  Everyone has complained about MSM, now is YOUR chance to do something!

Bring at least two friends and forward to all your email lists!!! Our attached Media Rally Poster can go up on all FB sites too.

Hi everyone. 

Previously, I raised the issue to our group of taking a ½ day during the week to rally at several downtown local media establishments, including the Courier, Global News, Castanet, CBC and CTV, in response to their lack of fair media attention to both sides, with respect to the unfair and almost complete denial of coverage of our opposition to the lockdown, the restrictions of our liberties, and social re-engineering of our society, based on falsified statistics and misrepresentation of the seriousness of the COVID-19 virus.  This is exactly what Vaccine Choice Canada and others are doing in the Claim filed in Toronto recently.

Response from the group was overwhelmingly positive to say the least. Now we need to show up!

There are many negative actions taken by MSM on issues of freedom – ignoring us as much as possible, misrepresenting our position, using footage of extremist elements and falsely targeting everyone, or using psychological warfare by using leading comments and questions to get answers they want from “experts” they have cherry picked to get these answers.  All methods have been utilized against us at some point during this COVID-19 Scamdemic.

As also noted previously, I have described more negative and inflammatory actions by the B.C. media against us, including Castanet reporter (if I dare call her that) Sarita Patel out of Kelowna, after she did a short interview with a woman named Grace Anderson, a downtown retail worker who claims to be an essential services employee, and found a brochure one of our committed freedom activists left at her business.

https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/305982/Employee-finds-COVID-19-hoax-pamphlet-left-at-store-by-customer

Ms. Anderson bemoaned our brochure, claiming that it was false, without of course specifying any errors, and which Ms. Patel reported in her story. No attempt was made to email us or solicit our viewpoint on the matter.  Ms. Patel told me that they would hear my side of the story prior to our Saturday rally by a different reporter as she was not working, but her supervisor Colin reneged on that guarantee and refused to interview me on the basis that he disagreed with our position.

This of course without either of them actually reading our brochure or doing any investigative reporting, because Ms. Anderson destroyed our brochure after taking pictures of it. Of course, Ms. Patel made no attempt to read it on Ms. Anderson’s phone.

Previously, “Erin” at Castanet gave me her word that we could pay for an ad on Castanet, and the only obligation was to provide the wording to her, which she would then review for publication, for purposes of space only.  Subsequently, she and her supervisor Colin, backed out of this agreement because they didn’t approve of our beliefs in relation to the Scamdemic known as COVID-19.

In the past, Global TV informed me that they were not doing interviews, and subsequently did an interview minutes later with a group member, despite my assurances that I had the statistics to support our position to give to him. Of course, none of our supporting evidence was televised to expose the gov’t lies on this same media network.

Other media such as the Kelowna Daily Courier, CTV, and CBC have completely ignored us and our rallies, and refuse to advance our position (as supported by tens of thousands of others in B.C.), on their newscasts.  (And we are not the only ones – despite over 1000 people, Toronto and national MSM provided no coverage of their rallies either).

A recent TV news interview a couple of weeks back, illustrates the psychological component of their FAKE NEWS with the following opening CBC News anchor’s comments:

Why are some people reluctant to wear a mask when health experts clearly say it is the right thing to do.”

Putting aside the facts that “health experts” are undefined and are usually gov’t paid medical staff, and the conflicting fact that only months ago they said wearing masks was not required (clearly medical expert gov’t doctors are confused on the matter – the issue is not settled), this type of wording from the start, labels us as anti-social, anti-gov’t, anti-mask, anti-everything, and portrays US as the bad guys, and of course, no one interviewed US to get our side of the story.  But they did interview a psychologist, Saunia Ahmad – as if she has any knowledge on the physics and medical efficacy of masks of any kind.  But no matter, she is an “expert” from the CBC.

Individually and collectively, this has had the detrimental effect of keeping the masses ignorant of the true underlying facts, statistics and gov’t agendas in relation to the ongoing restrictions of our rights, liberties, privileges and powers.

Now is the time we need to make the MSM know that we will not continue to accept their propaganda journalism, over investigative journalism that should be done.

Hearing only one side of a story and reporting it – is pure propaganda, not investigative reporting.

Starting at Stuart Park at 9:00, on Wednesday August 5, 2020 we will walk to the Kelowna Daily Courier, then to CTV, Castanet, Global News and then CBC, and back to Stuart Park.  Times for each media outlet will vary depending on weather, and responses from each media outlet. But we will start at 9:00 a.m.

1.  Kelowna Courier              550 Doyle St.

2.  CTV Kelowna                  1443 St. Paul

3.  Castanet                          455 Lawrence St.

4.  Global News                    342 Leon St.

5.  CBC News                       243 Lawrence St.

We have set aside Wednesday, August 5, 2020 to meet at Stuart Park.  We will then walk to each of these new media outlets for about 30-45 minutes each.  We will have several brochures and our Fact Sheet to hand out and hopefully get an interview with at least one of these MSM gov’t propaganda outlets.  We will also have all our signs available to get their attention.

Let’s swarm each of their offices with our presence and demand that they hear our side of the story and to put the really damning questions to Government officials!!

Also attached are a couple of cases where nurses have won the right NOT to wear masks, even as recently in BC as Dec. 2019.  I only have the BC news article not the actual agreement yet.  But I am working on getting it. I do have the Ontario arbitration board hearing attached however.

You will find the Ontario tribunal’s findings that masks don’t work at all, very informative.  Starting on p. 44.

In freedom
