Freeland properly questioned for once, Fauci channels Mao, Veteran CBC journalist talks about media deception today per Freedom Convoy: Links 1, September 8, 2022

1. NDP MP properly questions the ironically named, Crystia Freeland about the government’s actions at the end of the Freedom Convoy. He does a good job despite referring to a legal protest as “an occupation”. As to the City of Ottawa’s report on economic impact, people must remember that it was the MAYOR who ordered businesses to close and not serve the protestors, which is the cause of loss of business.

Emboldened by this facade of unanimity, supporters of the regime’s policies, or even those who did not previously have strong opinions, become convinced that the regime’s policies are just and good—regardless of what those policies actually are—and that those critical of them are even more deserving of punishment.

One of history’s great masters of forced preference falsification was Chairman Mao Zedong. As László Ladány recalled, Mao’s decades-long campaign to remold the people of China in his own image began as soon as he took power after the Chinese Civil War. […]

3. Veteran journalist Rodney Palmer, from many legacy media orgs speaks to the nature of journalism today, especially as it pertains to Covid narratives and the Freedom Convoy. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW.
