"Truckers Are Terrorists"

"Truckers Are Terrorists"
by Jim Rickards

"As you may know by now, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is invoking the nation’s “Emergencies Act” to put down the truckers’ protest, or the “Freedom Convoy.” This would be the first time the bill has entered effect since it was created in 1988. Trudeau's martial law – and that’s what it amounts to – is supposed to be "temporary." But in 1971, Nixon said the suspension of the gold standard was "temporary." Fifty-one years later we're still waiting for a new gold standard.

Trudeau can’t act until Parliament approves the measure. But Canada is already plowing full-speed ahead with its war on financial privacy. It’s the latest offensive in the elites’ war on cash. The gloves are coming off. The Canadian government is threatening to freeze the bank accounts of truckers participating in the protests. Here are the comments of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, whom I’ve actually debated in the past: "This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades. We are today serving notice: If your truck is being used in these protests, your corporate accounts will be frozen."

Canada is also denying crowdsource funding to the truckers. If you sent money to the truckers through GoFundMe or GiveSendGo, the Canadian government intervened to freeze the money. The government is essentially labeling the truckers terrorists and anyone who funds them as sponsors of terrorism. That’s not hyperbole. Chrystia Freeland admits it herself. And if you think sending cryptocurrencies will get in their way, think again.

Here’s what she said yesterday in defense of the Emergencies Act: "We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use. These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets such as cryptocurrencies. The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms, and some of the payment service providers they use, are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act…

We are making these changes because we know that these platforms are being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity, which is damaging the Canadian economy…The government is issuing an order with immediate effect, under the Emergencies Act, authorizing Canadian financial institutions to temporarily cease providing financial services where the institution suspects that an account is being used to further the illegal blockades and occupations. This order covers both personal and corporate accounts.

Third: We are directing Canadian financial institutions to review their relationships with anyone involved in the illegal blockades and report to the RCMP or CSIS."

Got money in a Canadian bank account? You’d better get it out fast before Freeland freezes it. Canada has gone full-fascist and they're coming for your money first. Today they’re going after the truckers and those who support them. But why should it stop there?

Once governments exercise previously unexplored powers, they rarely surrender them. Maybe tomorrow they’ll go after the accounts of “climate deniers” or those who support political parties the establishment doesn’t approve of.

And don’t think it’s limited to Canada. Here in the U.S., if you support Donald Trump or question the legitimacy of the 2020 election or question vaccine mandates, maybe the federal government will try to freeze your accounts too. You’ll be guilty of spreading “hate” and “disinformation” that undermines the public’s trust in government institutions (as if the government has earned that trust). You may even be guilty of “terrorism.”

Again, that may strike some as hyperbolic. But after what we’ve seen during the past two years, why should anything surprise you anymore? The Department of Homeland Security recently issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin suggesting that if Americans question vaccine mandates, they’re now potential “domestic violent extremists.”

These aren’t just theoretical fears. They’re happening in real-time. And Canada's newest offensive in the war against cash and financial privacy will only encourage governments further."
"Canadian Government Resorts to Financial Terrorism
 Against Peaceful Freedom Convoy Protesters"
by Brighteon

"All governments eventually resort to terrorism against their own citizens when they don't get the compliance they want. Now, as the freedom convoy participants in Canada are achieving real traction against the tyranny of Justin "Castro" Trudeau's regime, that same regime has decided to engage in blatant acts of financial terrorism against Canadian citizens in order to try to destroy them.

Under Trudeau, Finance Minister and WEF governor Chrystia Freeland has announced that Canada will direct banks to steal all the money out of the accounts of protest participants and make their lives a kind of financial hell, all without any due process or the rule of law.

What Canada, Trudeau and TD Bank are demonstrating here for the entire world to see is that we can't trust the financial institutions anymore, since they will collude with criminal governments to steal money from innocent people."
