Canadian Federal Court Rules Use of Emergency Powers to End Trucker Protests Was Unconstitutional

Posted originally on the CTH on January 24, 2024 | Sundance

Justin from Canada and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, used the invocation of the Canadian Emergency Powers Act to seize Truckers’ and their supporters bank accounts, block mortgages, eliminate loans and credit cards, seize personal assets and otherwise use financial mechanisms to target their political opposition.

Yesterday a federal judge in Canada ruled the use of the Emergency Powers Act was unconstitutional.

CANADA – […] On Feb. 14, 2022, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in its history, arguing at the time that the national security risks stemming from the protests justified its use.

The move allowed the federal government to enact wide-sweeping but temporary powers to help officials crack down on protesters’ access to funds, grant the RCMP jurisdiction to enforce local laws, designate critical infrastructure and services, and impose fines and imprisonment on participants who refused to leave the protest zone.

“I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency and intelligibility – and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration,” stated Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley.

Mosley added that “there can be only one reasonable interpretation” of the Emergencies Act and CSIS Act, and that he believes “the legal constraints on the discretion of the GIC to declare a public order emergency were not satisfied.”

Mosley also stated that, factoring for the definition of a “national emergency” under the Act, “there was no national emergency” to justify its use, and that “the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable” and beyond the powers of the law. (read more)

The Collapse in Confidence

Posted originally on Jan 23, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Martin – you often speak of CONFIDENCE in the government and there are many arrays you share that indicate confidence or lack thereof (Interest rates, Gold, Bonds, Indexes, Forex and others). All of these are open to interpretation by Socrates subscribers, and of course your respective, priceless commentary you share with us. What I’ve always wondered is if there is a Socrates array specifically called ‘Confidence in the Government’? That would indeed be the array of arrays!
Kind regards.
GS

REPLY: That is an idea. I warned that the peak 2015.75 of the previous wave was the PEAK IN GOVERNMENT. Ever since then, the confidence in government has been declining. We had Hillary calling everyone who voted for Trump a deplorable. Merkel opened the gates to allow the “refugees” from Syria to flood in, and they came from everywhere, which undermined the stability of the governments in Europe and prompted the vote on BREXIT. BY 2016, we learned about Hillary’s emails and the private server she set up to sell influence so that it would not be subject to the Freedom of Information Act discovery. Then she launched the fake dossier claiming Trump was a puppet of Putin, beginning the whole Russian Conspiracy scandal. Within a year, the US banned Russia Today (RT), claiming it was a foreign agent thanks to Hillary.

We monitor sentiment, and there is no question about it. Ever since COVID-19, trust in the institutions of Democracy has been visibly declining. In the past five years, the European Union’s official research bureau found that less than 30% of Europeans had faith in their national parliaments and governments. This has produced the lowest figures in years and indicates what we face heading into 2032. This means that 70% of the people distrust Brussels and their own governments. Typically, the danger of civil unrest and even revolution emerges when this falls below 30%.

When we look objectively around the world, in the West, political parties are the least trusted compared to Russia or China. Traditionally, the cornerstone of a free society is the fundamental right to remain a skeptic of government and those in power. When that is stifled, society is no longer considered to be a free society.

Revolution unfolds as people’s interest in politics grows because of events while trust in politics continues to decline. This is reflecting the very stability of a nation is being undermined by the sheer attempt to manipulate society and impose dictates from a central authority, which is precisely the same tactic under Communism that caused its collapse.

The Plan for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)

Posted originally on Jan 22, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Unelected globalists at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have been working on the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for the past decade, which is step one for the digital ID system.

“Digital public infrastructure (DPI) is a shared means to many ends. It is a critical enabler of digital transformation and is helping to improve public service delivery at scale. Designed and implemented well, it can help countries achieve their national priorities and accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments, donors, the private sector and civil society alike have an opportunity to shape it – join us!”

Per usual, they are marketing this program as a convenient way for the modern-day man to access documents. Using the data from DPI, 100 countries are expected to progress toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

“Following the G20 Leaders Declaration in 2023, Digital Public Infrastructure is a key breakthrough that gives the momentum needed to change course and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, across all 17 SDGs. As new technologies advance at an exponential rate, there is an acute opportunity for entire communities to benefit from a growing array of life-changing digital solutions — from digital cash transfers to e-health – given proper investments in their own DPI.”

The plan is to track absolutely everyone, including the 2.6 billion people who do have access to the internet. Forget clean water, food, or shelter – let’s waste resources to compile their data. Speaking of resources, they are already requesting more funding since the pandemic “widened the annual SDG financing gap in developing countries from $2.5 trillion to $3.9 trillion, and similarly, available funds for DPI fall short of the escalating global needs.” Yes, trillion.

The program will even enable the globalists to completely censor the news. They said that this will tackle misinformation during elections, or rather, another tool for propaganda.

None other than Bill Gates has a hand in this madness. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is supporting the “50 in 5” program that aims to help 50 countries develop their own DPI by 2028.

DPI will enable the globalists to promote SDG in the following ways:

SDG1 No Poverty: DPI could lead to a cycle of increased economic resilience, added job opportunities and reduced poverty levels to help as many as 670 million people (or 8.4 per cent of the world population) living in extreme poverty.
SDG5 Gender Equality: DPI could enhance service delivery to more than 250 million women.
SDG8 Decent Work and Economic Growth: Enabling DPI can bring access to financial institutions for more than two billion people who do not have a bank account.
SDG13 Climate Action: Using DPI for common Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems and interlinking carbon registries can reduce CO2 emissions equal to 3–4 percent of current LMICs’ emission reduction targets.

This is absurd. They want us to believe that they could eliminate poverty entirely by forcing every nation to hand over complete control to an unknown few. They want gender equality, but wait – what’s a woman? The only economic growth they see from this project is further taxation that will never benefit the people. Of course, they have to throw in climate change since that’s the main cash grab scare tactic.

Don’t you see? All of the world’s problems could be resolved if you abandoned your freedoms.

Trump Speaks Out Against CBDC

Posted Jan 22, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

The leftist media cutaway Donald Trump’s victory speech after his Iowa victory. Some, such as Rachel Maddow who has no credibility, said it would be dangerous to air a live statement from the former president due to January 6. The truth of the matter is that they wanted to censor what he had to say, especially regarding the push for CBDC.

“Tonight, I’m also making another promise to protect Americans from government tyranny. As your president, I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency,” Trump announced. “A digital currency would give our federal government absolute control over your money. They could take your money and you wouldn’t even know that it was gone. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom and I would stop it.”

The audience loudly cheered and applauded his statements, to which Trump replied he was stunned the public was even aware about the plan to eliminate cash. Trump is not alone in his sentiment as DeSantis has been outspoken about the control CBDC would provide the globalist elites, as was Vivek Ramasamy and other Republicans.

Those reading this blog already know the dangers involved with digital currencies. CBDC are intended to control our behavior. This will transform society into a digital prison, which is why the Founding Fathers outlawed direct taxation. The rally to Marx at the end of the 19th century led to the introduction of the income tax in 1913, and they swore they were going only after the trich. By World War II, they introduced the payroll tax because Roosevelt’s Marxist agenda was to include Social Security, and we, of course, had to be FORCED to save money for our own future. That became a slush fund that was restricted to buying government debt. In Canada, Trudeau froze all accounts of those protesting COVID restrictions in the Truckers Convoy as a test for what is to come.

The elites in Davos have been speaking about the implementation of CBDC all week. They claim it will stabilize financial markets. They genuinely believe that YOU owe them money. The 99.9% must be controlled in every way imaginable to permit those at the top to live lives that low-level billionaires could hardly imagine. The plan has been in place for years but now they’re ready to pull the rug out from under us.

The globalists are behind this push. In America, we cannot even blame the puppet in charge. He recently did an interview where he said that he sympathized with Americans who he believes are charged a fee for calling their banks to check their account balance. He has absolutely no idea what is going on. Children understand the current banking system more than Biden. They would never allow anyone outside of the establishment to sit in the Oval Office, and 2016 may have marked America’s last fair election.

There is no question that the real problem here is that the financial system is collapsing, and they can no longer hide the destruction from the public. These morons in government have been borrowing since World War II with ZERO intention of ever paying off the debt. They are running out of buyers and turned their clients into enemies. They are prepared to weaponize their central banks. Governments are desperate, and in their mind, YOU — the useless carbon that should only exist within their set parameters — are the problem.

Netherlands Promotes Digital ID at Davos

Posted originally on Jan 22, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands took to the Davos stage to declare that digital IDs are necessary for nearly every aspect of social engagement. The Dutch queen told the World Economic Forum (WEF) that they can no longer trust the people, and digital IDs will provide governments with a clear way to track our behavior.

Vaccine passports are necessary to tell “who actually got a vaccination or not,” highlighting how those at the top do not trust the public. They want complete unilateral control. In fact, she believes that children should not be allowed to enroll in school unless they have a digital ID that includes their vaccination passport. “It [digital ID] is also good for school enrollment; it is also good for health – who actually got a vaccination or not; it’s very good actually to get your subsidies from the government,” she said to a room of nodding heads.

Want to open a bank account? You must present a digital ID.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands at WEF in Davos: [Digital ID] is very necessary for financial services, but not only – it is also good for school enrollment; it is also good for health — who actually got a vaccination or not" #DigitalID #WEF24 https://t.co/DJiO8nISih pic.twitter.com/RgYA2ahXS0

Now the Netherlands implemented a COVID certificate that was required for travel throughout the EU. Citizens were provided yellow vaccination booklets that they were required to carry throughout the pandemic. Mass protests erupted, but the government did not drop restrictions until 72% of the population was already injected. Over 40% of restaurants said they would not ask patrons to show proof of vaccination to enter.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte immediately fired Deputy Economic Affairs Minister Mona Keijzer for questioning the vaccine passport. “If we end up in a society where we have to be afraid of each other unless we can show proof, then you really have to scratch your head and ask yourself: Is this the direction we want to go?”

Dissent is no longer tolerated. The power they tasted during the lockdowns opened Pandora’s Box. The Dutch government must realize they will be met with resistance as the Dutch people will not allow the government to control them without a fight.

Neil Oliver – The Davos Elites and Their Schemes for Control

Posted originally on the CTH on January 21, 2024 | Sundance

For his weekly monologue, U.K pundit Neil Oliver outlines the insufferable “parasite class” of those who assemble in Davos at the World Economic Forum, and their agenda for control which morphs depending on opportunity. Indeed, the Davos/WEF favorite control narrative surrounds the ever-changing theoretical climate doom and the subsequent holy grail of a carbon trading exchange they envision.

At a certain point, the revolting peasants look around and realize there are more of us than them, and that’s the exact moment when things in the Western alliance will get very sketchy. Factually, you can see in their words and espousals the Davos clan know this, so they construct all manner of instructions to their government beneficiaries in an effort to control the proles.

In case you missed it, the Dutch, Poland and German farmers are now being joined by the Romanians and the French. Then again, why wouldn’t we miss it? After all, the Western media are avoiding any mention of the spreading discontent, lest the commoners start to organize an even wider pushback.

PARIS (Reuters) – France’s largest farm union FNSEA is considering nationwide protests in the coming weeks, a spokesperson said on Friday, potentially expanding action by farmers in the southwest who have blocked a highway and dumped manure on public buildings.

Like their German counterparts who held a massive demonstration over the weekend with tractors rumbling towards Berlin from every corner of the country, French farmers are mainly protesting against taxes and regulation.

The FSNEA will decide whether to organise nationwide action next Thursday after meeting local branch representatives and different farm sectors, the spokesperson said.

Hundreds of tractors and farmers from across southwest France have been protesting in the southwestern city of Toulouse this week, causing traffic jams.
On Friday they blocked the highway linking Toulouse to the Atlantic cost with a wall of hay.

Farmers cite a government tax on tractor fuel, cheap imports, water storage issues, excessive restrictions and red tape among their grievances.

FNSEA farmers have been turning around road signs at the entrance of towns and villages across the country – in 12,000 districts out of a total of 36,000 – to express their discontent in a campaign called “We are walking on our heads”.

The protests in the European Union’s biggest agricultural producer come at a time when President Emmanuel Macron is wary of farmers’ growing support for the far-right ahead of the European Parliament elections in June. (read more)

“We’d like to help, but we have a few problems of our own at the moment”….

Jan 18 (Reuters) – Romania’s government unveiled a first package of measures to aid farmers and truckers whose widening protests against high business costs have hit a border crossing with Ukraine and elsewhere in the country, local media reported on Thursday.

The more than week-long protests have blocked highways and snarled traffic in areas. Romanian farmers blocked a border crossing with Ukraine for a second time in as many days on Thursday.

The protests are against the high cost of diesel, insurance rates, European Union measures to protect the environment and pressures on the domestic market from imported Ukrainian agricultural goods. (more)
