Instead of toppling statues, when will people topple these Fake Mainstream News Organizations?

Facing Massive Gharge-Back Fees GoFundMe Changes Direction Will Automatically Refund Freedom Convoy Donations
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 5, 2022 | Sundance | 581 Comments
First things first… The crowdsourcing business called GoFundMe has destroyed their business model. If they remain in operation, they will be a shell of their former status. Wait a few months and you’ll see it. That is the scale of self-destruction chosen by the organization as an outcome of their political decision to freeze and redirect donor contributions of the Freedom Convoy protest. GoFundMe is done.
That said, GoFundMe justified their decision based on a definition of the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protest as an unlawful “occupation”. However, the same GoFundMe supported the Seattle “occupation” in 2020 known as CHAZ/CHOP. It’s not hypocrisy, it’s political alignment.
The backlash against the crowdfunding company was fast, massive and direct. Facing legal action, U.S. state lawsuits and massive charge-back fees from outraged donors contesting refunds through their banks and credit cards, GoFundMe had an overnight change in position:
The Freedom Protest will continue without missing a beat. The Truckers in Ottawa and around Canada are representing the majority of the Canadian people. Despite leftist Canadian media attempting to control the narrative against the Freedom movement overall, Middle Canadians can see through the nonsense, and they know which position is on the right side of history. The Freedom Convoy is winning!
The alternative crowdsourcing platform GiveSendGo has been overwhelmed by donations to FreedomConvoy2022 HERE. Their web service is overwhelmed with supporters. I’m sure they are also experiencing the snarky bot attacks from professional leftists and disruptions from the collaboration of North American govt. intelligence agencies. As a result, if you go to the site, you might experience a delay.
Meanwhile, several U.S. State Attorneys are looking into the deceptive and fraudulent business practices of GoFundMe. American readers might wonder why conservative Canadian government officials and various State Premiers are not taking legal action.
Within the answer to that inquiry, we realize the structural issue of the Conservative Party in Canada. They are controlled opposition who actually support leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Ezra Levant has been pointing out the Conservative Party issues for many years. Today he highlights the Canadian political “illusion of choice” problem by noting the absence of Conservative pushback.
Americans have our own reference points for the issue Levant is highlighting. However, the scale of the UniParty fraud in Canada is fundamentally much greater than currently exists in the U.S.
We in the United States have gone through a focused purging and challenging of conservative fraud since the Tea Party rose up to confront politicians in 2009 and 2010. The 2010, 2011, 2012, Tea Party evolved into the 2015, 2016 MAGA party that supported Donald Trump.
In the U.S. we have slowly been removing corrupt republican politicians (House and Senate) since the 2010 primary races. We still have a long way to go, but we are slowly removing them. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Crenshaw and many more are on the current 2022 target list.
Unfortunately, Canada has yet to begin this type of widescale political purge. That is why the current state of Canadian politics is so weak. However, the Freedom Convoy is providing the spark that just might be the Canadian version of the 2010 Tea Party influence.
We are right beside you Canada. We are cheering for you and supporting you in all ways possible.

Amber Alert Issued for Justin Trudeau
Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Have you seen this man? He was allegedly voted to lead the people of Canada but is nowhere to be found amid the largest political convoy in history. There are about 50,000 truckers who would like a word with their public servant.
Facebook – Down for the Count?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology Re-Posted Feb 4, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Marty you said that Facebook would peak in September 2021. Is this the high you were talking about? Has it entered a bear market?
WJ
ANSWER: This is the 19th year up for Facebook and this crash has already penetrated the 2021 low of 244.61 here in 2022. Zuckerberg is part of Schwab’s World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders along with Trudeau in Canada and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand. He has been aggressive in censoring anyone who has opposed the narrative of COVID and this is all collapsing around him. Facebook lost daily users for the first time in its history. This is a significant change in trend which has come right on target. In Canada, people are flooding the 911 system reporting that Trudeau is missing. We may see the same eventually with Zuckerberg. Perhaps he will fleet and hide under the coat of Schab at the WEF.
Allegations are surfacing claiming that ballot boxes put out there by Zuckerberg were being used to rig the election. It is still unknown how much fraud was carried out in the 2020 election. But the narrative needs to end that the answer is “none.” Despite the widespread blanket denials from the mainstream media, there are allegations bubbling up about ‘mules’ illicitly dumping ballots into Zuckerberg “drop boxes.” Unfortunately, with the Democrats in charge of the Senate and the House, there will be no investigation. But the whispers are getting louder that Zuckerberg allegedly had a hand in the election fraud perhaps at the direction of Schwab and associates. Zuckerberg spent $419 million to get out the Democratic votes to defeat Trump which was the clear agenda of Schwab and his World Economic Forum.
It is true that TikTok has emerged as a major threat to Facebook because it is not engaged in the political activism that Zuckerberg has been. People are leaving Facebook or using TikTok much more so because of Facebook’s censoring. Then there is Apple, and its privacy changes to iOS last year are starting to cost the company tons of ad revenue. The feature is called App Tracking Transparency and allows iPhone users to forbid companies from tracking them across third-party apps. As CNBC reports, on the financial call, Meta CFO Dave Wehner revealed, “We believe the impact of iOS overall is a headwind on our business in 2022. It’s on the order of $10 billion, so it’s a pretty significant headwind for our business.”
There is much more behind the headlines that are in the rumor mills. Zuckerberg has a lot to worry about by aligning with the World Economic Forum should the cycle change once again and the Republicans win in November. Zuckerberg may find himself in deep trouble and the survival of Facebook will hang in the balance. His loyalty to Schwab and his idea that corporations should disregard shareholders and be concerned with Stakeholder Economics may prove to be the death of Facebook. Any CEO who aligns himself with Schwab should be thrown out by the shareholders for that means they are using shareholder money to further a foreign agenda against their own self-interest.
A year-end closing below 244 will confirm that Facebook will enter a bear market and the crash will continue into 2023 for starters
Attorney Representing Freedom Convoy Shares a Message
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 237 Comments
Keith Wilson is the lawyer representing the “Truckers for Freedom” organization. Earlier today, prior to the GoFundMe announcement, Mr. Wilson posted a video message for everyone concerning the earlier announcement made by the Ottawa Police chief Peter Sloly. [Background Story]
One note: I believe the referenced Canadian Freedom Charter was suspended as part of the national state of emergency declared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the justification for the restrictions now being protested.
Earlier Today – Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly held a press conference on Friday announcing measures to combat the continued Freedom Convoy protests in the streets, and to block any additional protesting support from arriving. [Full Presser Here] In essence, the Ottawa police are going to use domestic terrorism authority against the Canadian freedom protest groups.
The outlined measures include deploying an additional 150 municipal police officers and undercover federal agents to infiltrate the protest and gather intelligence useful for the purpose of eliminating their effort.
Chief Sloly outlined that federal intelligence authorities will be “collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status and other related evidence that will be used in prosecution.”
The jackboots will focus on using acts of mischief, hate, harassment, intimidation and other threatening behaviors, whether real or created by Canadian intelligence operations, to target the protestors.
Additionally, a “surge and contain” strategy will be used to isolate the protest in the red zone area in front of Parliament Hill. Ottawa police will use heavy concrete barriers as barricades, to create no-access roadways throughout the downtown core, and they will likely close highway off-ramps and bridges to stop additional support and/or protest groups from arriving.
The goal is to isolate the current protest groups, cut off their supply and support logistics, and pick them off.
Further, any police officer who is caught aiding, assisting, supporting, sympathizing with or facilitating the ongoing freedom protest in the city, will be removed from duty and subject to arrest. All Ottawa police officers are to regard the protesting group as an unlawful, extremist and hate-filled mob and have a duty to comply with the instructions of the command and control structure.
Ottawa Police Department Announce They Are a Political Activist Institution and Agency of the Government

The Ottawa Police Department have publicly announced they are a political institution. They sent out a tweet this evening with the announcement:

If the Ottawa police department was not a political activist agency, they would not engage in political activism.
Additionally, the originator of the left-wing effort to target the Freedom Convoy has been identified.

Creepy Porn Lawyer Convicted Again, Fraud and Felonious Creepy Porn Lawyering
Posted originally on the conservative house on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 82 Comments
Creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti convicted again. This time he was convicted for fraud and theft from his client, former porn star Stormy Daniels.
New York — Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of charges he cheated the porn actor Stormy Daniels out of nearly $300,000 she was supposed to get for writing a book about an alleged tryst with former president Donald Trump.
[…] Avenatti still faces other legal problems. He has yet to begin serving a 2 1/2 year prison sentence he received in 2020 for trying to extort up to $25 million from sportswear giant Nike.
He also is awaiting a retrial in Los Angeles on charges that he ripped off clients and others for millions of dollars. He represented himself last year for six weeks before a mistrial resulted. (read more)

Pelosi Tells U.S. Olympians to Check Their Freedom and Do Not Speak Against Chinese Communist Party
Posted originally on the conservative tree House on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 170 Comments
The United States Speaker of the House of Representatives, a Democrat, told the U.S. Olympic athletes today to drop their inherent freedom of speech perspective and comply with the Chinese Communist Party rules.
It seems the viewpoint of the United States being a beacon of freedom has morphed into a situation where the official position of government is to turn off the lights and adhere to the totalitarian state. Quite a remarkable shift in worldview. WATCH:
Then again, in Pelosi’s defense, it’s not like she could warn the Chinese government there would be hell to pay if a single U.S. athlete was ever threatened or harmed. After all, the Chinese have purchased Pelosi’s compliance.
