Freedom Truck Rallies are Global.
We are at war.
I know it’s hard to believe since there is no shooting. But we are at war, with Russia to be specific. It is hybrid, under the threshold of kinetic. In case you wonder, kinetic means exactly what you think war looks like.
At the moment we are under assault within the context of distribution and logistics. The far-right is making this about culture war because of vaccine mandates.
The city of Ottawa is under siege. The far-right is planning to lay siege to major western capitals as we flex NATO’s muscle in Eastern Europe. The far-right is also planning to lay siege to Washington DC and the Super Bowl.
The tactics look awfully familiar, and they are taking advantage of western traditions regarding freedom of speech. We spent two hours yesterday on YouTube watching streams from Ottawa. The atmosphere reminded us of the early days of the Occupy Wall Street movement. These were denounced by the same far-right that is now employing them. It also has the feeling of a street party, for the occupiers. The residents, especially in the downtown area, are not that impressed.
