My heart is broken! I felt so despondent yesterday.. I really wasn’t surprised at the results of this commission, because everywhere I look there is such corruption.

This morning I am heading to Toronto to World Wide Rally at Queens Park 12 noon to hear the marvellous freedom fighters like Dr Shoemaker and others.. we can only keep pushing back against those who simply have no integrity.

Thank you Donna, for all you do to keep illuminating the truth and exposing the weasels..

In another post, I will see if I can add the flyer to this event.

Honest courts are the final bastion of civil society. Government power is overwhelming. Its organs of police are organized and armed to the teeth. When redress of real grievance, of police violence sanctioned against a populace, fails because the courts are an arm of tyrannical government, then legal means become a farce.

Paragraph II of the U.S. Declaration of Independence then charts the course: "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

That time has not yet come in the U.S. Restorative efforts are underway here,

But it may have come in Canada. The die will be fully cast if some constructed crisis is used to delay elections. The government has done its best to disarm the population; Trudeau's voice hoarse with moral gravity. That poser.

I hope to see Canadians rise up and recover what is theirs: their rights. Their action is required. Maybe recovery can happen by means of the provincial governments. If Canadians recover them. The more provinces strongly defend the rights of freedom, the more isolated the central government.

Perhaps restoration can happen in that way. But happen it must because the gradient points to slavery and it will not self-correct.

Thanks for your thoughts, Patrick. The rot runs deep, that's for sure.

Thank you Pat for your observations and predictions. Like the "climate crisis" lie you battled with your error propagation work this report is an open denial of the truth that is actually readily found by open minded study. The parallels of the "climate crisis" and this Covid 19 crisis and the actions that our governments have taken are glaringly obvious. Power trying to maintain its position using lies fomenting fear. I pray the inevitable collapse of the lies can be bloodless but they are so widely accepted if not as widely believed I expect some very energetic clashes. We certainly need more journalists like Donna to keep prying off pieces of the foundation lies.

We suffer from a crowd-madness that long predates Covid. As a society we've given far too much power to government, largely thinking only they can look after the important stuff, like education , medicine, infrastructure and environment. Today we here can clearly see the divisiveness of what has been create yet so very many others in this nation continue to live with that "government can only do good" delusion.

And yes, we face a monumental task as we strive to regain our lost freedom.

As said by Charles MacKay back in the 18 hundreds, "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." It will be a tough slog to get justice back into what has become a legal industry, designed to reward lawyers.

I think it was the late Dr Tim Ball who said "Commissions of enquiry are set up for a result. You will see that politicians try to limit them by the terms of references. They only focus on a specific reference"

Meanwhile, public law expert Cathy Powell says commissions of inquiry are legal processes aimed at fact-finding, but they are not courts of law.

Powell claims that South Africans have inflated expectations of commissions of inquiry, while some political matters should be in fact solved by Parliament and the Executive.

One of the reasons we have inflated expectations of commissions of inquiry is because we have inflated expectations of courts. We tend to think they can solve political problems.

— Cathy Powell, Senior Lecturer in Public Law at UCT.

You will then have the countries leaders ignoring the recommendations, especially if his politicians and Political party is implicated.
