No Matter How Peaceful The American Freedom Convoy Is, Our Corrupt Regime Will Demonize It.
The Federalist ^ | February 23, 2022 | Jordan Boyd

The fate of the American trucker convoy has already been decided by resident Joe Biden and his allies who, despite promises from the Freedom Convoy protesters that they will remain peaceful, are already painting them as domestic threats.

The bulk of American truckers and allies will not officially launch their journey to Washington, D.C., until March 1, but officials in the nation’s capital have already gone to extreme lengths to ensure that the Americans uniting for freedom from the tyranny that has wreaked havoc on the nation for the last two years feel anything but welcomed.

The American Freedom Convoy has pledged to keep their protests peaceful and deter bad actors, but their promises have fallen on deaf ears. No matter how peaceful the protesters are, they will be smeared by the increasingly corrupt government for being a “threat.” Already, government officials in D.C. are ramping up security and bracing for far more than what is expected from the group of truckers.

The United States Capitol Police announced last week that it is “closely coordinating with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies” and is even discussing adding a fence around the Capitol. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also ordered at least 700 National Guard troops to the capital city ahead of the convoy’s expected arrival.

Even Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee pledged his officers would work overtime to combat what he said will be “disruptions to traffic, that kind of thing.”

“I think we need to be very candid with the public about what some of the expectations, based upon what we’ve seen in Ottawa, that we might see here in the District,” he told the Associated Press.

While D.C. officials panic, Biden has every reason to embrace the thousands of blue-collar workers he claims to support — but he won’t. Already, the Biden administration showed discomfort with the Canadian Freedom Convoy by pressuring the Trudeau government to crack down on its citizens. Much like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did at the beginning of the Ottowa controversy, the White House has already painted the imminent U.S. convoy as a threat that requires federal attention and law enforcement.

“We have been working … closely with our federal, state, and local partners to continuously assess the threat environment and keep our communities safe,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters this week. “And our efforts include enhanced intelligence sharing, a Critical Incident Response Plan for the U.S. Capitol, a regional security assessment, and a simulation experiment that developed data-driven recommendations to bolster regional security.”

Trudeau similarly signaled his disdain for the original Freedom Convoy long before the peak of the movement in Ottowa because he believed they held “unacceptable views.”

“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians,” Trudeau said during a press conference in January.

Trudeau didn’t lend the truckers a listening ear when he should have. Instead, the prime minister fled his Ottowa residence and hid in an undisclosed location before invoking the Emergencies Act. Then he smeared the movement on Twitter and accused the Freedom Convoy of harboring racist vandals. Other government officials, taking notes from the Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee in the House, labeled the convoy a “nationwide insurrection.”

Convoy! Stay out of DC!
Park in front of every media affiliate in every city and hand out real news.

STOP all delivery to all mainstream media until they report the truth.

The speed and efficiency at which they work to destroy this country is definitely demonically inspired. Has the atmosphere of the Nazi’s stepping up the gas chambers even as Germany was loosing the war.

A real spiritual blindness in the land.

Pleas refer to this handy list:

Violent Antifa protests: good
Violent BLM protests: good
Peaceful trucker protests: bad

The great irony here is that the truckers are the only ones on the list who actually contribute something to society.

The United States Capitol Police

Now THERE'S a group that poses a threat to safety. I wonder how many are itching to kill a protester in cold blood, and be held out as a "hero" by Pelosi and the fawning MSM.

The “agents of Putin” stuff will be off-the-charts this time.

It won’t be completely peaceful; it can’t be.

There will be FIB agents provacateurs sprinkled in.

And the local ferals, sometimes semi-organized as BLM/Antifa shock troops, will commit some felonies on the drivers which will elicit a self-defense response.

It’s a no-brained that peaceful protestors will be lied about and demonized by our political elite overlords as well as by their sycophant lackeys in the fake news media.

Our God given freedoms are more in danger now than they have been since the Founding.

Stay strong.

I am not sure peaceful protest is possible. I hope I am wrong.

“...Putin’s fifth-column Nazi truck convoys will be met with the full force of our internal security forces...”

Absolutely right. Since it doesn’t fly antifa or blm flags, it is going to be trashed. Lies will be invented over it, justifying the repressive measures that our decrepit old fool is going to implement.

This is a FACT. You know damned good and well that the Commies are already infiltrating and preparing to launch their False Flag operation at any time.

Just like all of the other shit that they pulled.
