Police estimated 5000.\u00a0\u00a0 Taking in to account the hundreds of cars trucks waving flags and honking as they circulated the Rockpile &#8230; could be.<br><br>02\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Strolling around, I ask people to give me their impression in one word, or one sentence.\u00a0 Best quip > \u201cthis has got some testosterone.\u201d To which he immediately added, mocking political correctness\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c<em>in a good way!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cwe\u2019ve had enough\u201d\u00a0 \u201cpeaceful yet strong\u201d\u00a0 \u201cinspiring\u201d\u00a0 \u201cthis is just the beginning\u201d\u00a0<br><\/em><br>03\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the duration of kRonaMadness, the pathetic excuse for a newspaper in Victoria\u00a0 * relentlessly dished the Central Party Line. Not so much as a sentence of type questioning the spell cast by its heroine GrandWitch Bonnie Henry,\u00a0\u00a0 appeared in its pages.\u00a0 But our PROTESTations can no longer be ignored. I like to think that our tiny witness at the Gates of the City, penetrated to the conscience of the nation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the Sunday after Feb fifth,\u00a0 front page of the Timely Colonic was a fullcolor photo taken at the Trucker\u2019s convoy EVENT.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course,\u00a0 the image was spun so as to portray the few counterprotesters in the best light.\u00a0\u00a0 About a dozen of them at the corner and another 40?\u00a0 on the other. Vastly outnumbered ; the medium is the message.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>*\u00a0 calls itself the Times~Colonist. I call it the Timely Colonic.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>04\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In fact > from 11 am until 4 pm, the South side of Belleville street was crowded four deep all the way down the block.\u00a0\u00a0 Hundreds of Canadian flags of all sizes, from handheld to enormous, everywhere. Some right side up, some upside down as the international signal of a ship in distress.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Focus was on the federal govt.\u00a0 Many many ! signs castigating Justin Trudeau, and not in polite language.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The honking and cheering was continual. You could hear it blocks away.\u00a0 Close to the street, I had to shout to be heard by someone standing beside me.\u00a0\u00a0 People leaning out of cars,\u00a0 rejoicing in being present at history in the making.\u00a0\u00a0 Friends came up, in tears. I said \u201cpeople cry when they\u2019re happy, too\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The atmosphere was that powerful.\u00a0<br><br>05\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A point we have to get across\u00a0 is : we who are showing up, standing up and speaking up at these EVENTS, are not going to change our mind.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We know the so-called pandemic, is bogus &#8230; people who think for themselves realize it\u2019s a psychological exercise.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>06\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Last May, I spoke from the stage at the World Wide Rally for a few minutes. Making it clear to all and sundry\u00a0 \u201cdon\u2019t antagonize the police. They are on our side.\u201d\u00a0 Afterwards, when people came up to me, I asked\u00a0 \u201cwhat do you think will happen next?\u201d\u00a0 One lady \u2013 obviously a devout Christian \u2013 said\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re heading toward a national, near-death experience\u201d.\u00a0 So is this the healing crisis ?<br><br>07\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the base of the War Memorial there was a party going on.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A gal with a professional drum set gave out with the beat from Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u201cDemocracy in the USA\u201d, on snaredrum, for a good half hour, nonstop.\u00a0 The circle of 7 drummers alongside was pretty impressive.\u00a0 They fell in with the beat on which Scots and Celts and Gaels go to WAR.\u00a0\u00a0 Then Nathan added his bagpipes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bystanders were up and dancing&#8230;. they couldn\u2019t help themselves!\u00a0 I encourage all-concerned to read the Declaration of Arbroath :\u00a0 the Scots reminding the Pope who they were, and that they had always been independent.<br><br>08\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the Bible we read about how ancient Israel went to war &#8230; singers dancers and musicians going out first.\u00a0\u00a0 Here we are in a battle of Biblical proportion and\u00a0 &#8211; spontaneously &#8211; out pours the music and dances of old. Hearing the pipes and seeing the maidens dancing their hearts out in the public square, was magical.\u00a0\u00a0 The sight of a young lady, in Tartan trousers hands up over head, fingers and thumbs pinched in the classic posture, doing the steps of the Sword Dance, made me tear-up.\u00a0 The evil Agent of the United Nations World &#8211; namely Doktor B Henry \u2013 pretends to rule at the moment, dictating conditions of our bondage. Yet she \/ her commie bastards accomplices cannot suppress the Liberty which is our birthright.<br><br>09\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Analysing the crowd as I always do, I noted that it\u2019s 97% White people.\u00a0 Why this matters, is,\u00a0 because politicians of every stripe, pay attention to the numbers as well as the demographics of an audience. Who is here \/\u00a0 who is absent?\u00a0\u00a0 And why? Lots of children ; average age was between 45 &#8211; 50.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Major Canadian newspapers give place to the usual enemies of Freedom trotting-out their kneejerk epithets >>> white supremacist \/ anti-semite &#8230; all the rest.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact;\u00a0 2 native Indian ladies came to the Leg. to advertise to fellow citizens that they certainly do support the Truckers\u2019 convoy.\u00a0\u00a0 I heard one, livestreaming, tell her audience \u201cthis is not a racist movement\u201d.\u00a0 Direct quote.\u00a0\u00a0 My guess is : we\u2019ll see all of their relatives. Not that they won\u2019t come \u2018round to our side. Just that they\u2019re slow to come \u2018round.<br><br>10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 as I compose this Tuesday morning, word on FB, is, Victoria police were issuing traffic tickets on Monday. I\u2019m guessing = to cars which stopped on Belleville right in front of the Leg. then wouldn\u2019t move on.\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s trivial.\u00a0 I predict that what we\u2019ll see by the time I get down there on Wednesday, is > the Speaker originating legal action against John Doe and his sister, Janey for an Order that they &#8230;\u00a0 members &amp; associates of Clan Doe &#8230; be constrained from impeding interfering intimidating obstructing molesting Persons in vehicles in the vicinity of the Legislature.\u00a0 Without Notice, mind you.\u00a0 Rank perversion of justice for a partisan political end, but it\u2019ll be effective. Confer with\u00a0 File 20 0710 Supreme Court Registry Victoria for how the anti-pipeline mob was dealt with when they camped outside the office of the Premier in Feb 2020.\u00a0\u00a0 The Speaker complained that they were in contempt of the Legislative Assembly.<br><br>11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Once a Justice utters an Order directing how things are supposed to go near the RockPile,\u00a0 protesters will be on thin ice.\u00a0\u00a0 Contempt of Court is a dirty trick petty tyrants use when they have nothing intelligent to say.\u00a0\u00a0 So they brandish the billyclub.\u00a0 Anyone on the wrong side of the NDP will be in jeopardy of being hauled away charged with \u2018contempt of Court\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Pokerfaced cops will act first to get you off the precinct &#8230; you then have the luxury of arguing about it, months later. And bear in mind that there still is a tiny gaolcell down in the bowels of that building !\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors just love \u2018contempt of court\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s reverse onus.\u00a0 The alleged contemnor is presumed guilty. He has to talk his way out of the allegation.\u00a0 With very rare exception,\u00a0 he \/ she winds up grovelling an apology for having brought the administration of Justice in to dis-repute. The administration comes off as lawabiding &#8230; its critics vilified.<br><br>12\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 section 180 of the Criminal Code would work, too, to suppress PROTESTation in the form of a \u2018slow roll\u2019,\u00a0\u00a0 if the NeeDiPpers had an Attorney General who had the testicular wherewithal to use it.\u00a0\u00a0 Which they don\u2019t.\u00a0\u00a0 David Eby being the worst Chief Law Enforcement Officer in living memory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And that includes the Sphinx, old Colin Gabelmann the one who committed Perjury in my first prosecution for anti-abortion protest.<br><br>Gordon S Watson<br>Metchosin\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 British Columbia<br>February 08 2022<br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"422\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/mail.google.com\/b4ae2227-a660-4f24-8bea-be35589de594\" alt=\"GORDON WATSON AND RED ENGISN.jpg\"><br>\u200b<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GORDON-WATSON-AND-RED-ENGISN-2-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gordon S Watson Tue, Feb 8, 3:12 PM (3 days ago) Gordon S Watson FREEDOM RALLY OUTSIDE THE BRITISH COLUMBIA PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 202201\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The GATHERING at the Leg. on February fifth 2022,\u00a0 was BIG !\u00a0Not as big &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=7212\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2410,3931,608],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7212"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7212"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7214,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7212\/revisions\/7214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
