The short back and sides of it

Published: 9 February 2022 ~ No Fringe Benefits in Trashing Truckers Freedom Convoy

As the rallying call from the Freedom Convoy resonates around the globe, the liberalarsey media do what they always do at a time like this, disappear up the same place where Trudeau has gone. According to one liberal corporate media outlet based in the USA, the Canadian Truckers’ Freedom Convoy ‘represents a fringe viewpoint north of the border’. You know, it really is time that the neoliberals came out from behind the settee and faced the inevitable fact that the people are calling time on them. This is what happens when you get out of bed on the wrong side of history. But such denial is not that surprising. It was Joseph Goebbels who said that “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it …”, what he forgot to mention was that if you continue to repeat that lie you run the risk of believing it yourself.

No Fringe Benefits in Trashing Truckers Freedom Convoy

‘Fringe groups’ is a term reserved and used exclusively by the liberarsey media for any movement that challenges its ideological hegemony, and, as with all things liberal in these days of its waning empire, if you tap on it just rings hollow.

Take the headlines and standfirst that appeared this morning (9 February 2022) in a corporate liberal media source in the USA:

Headline: ‘With No End in Sight, Ottawa Protests Extend Beyond Canada’s Borders’
Standfirst: ‘Officials are grappling with a new protest blocking a major border crossing, while similar demonstrations have disrupted traffic in New Zealand and Australia.’

Now, both the headline and the standfirst emphasise magnitude and extent. In other words, the numbers involved, and the reach of the demonstration is truly awesome. Indeed, it has taken on a scale of international proportions.

However, if you look at the series of drop-down menus at the top of the website page on which this article is published, you will see:

Canada Trucker Protest> Protests Extend Beyond Canada | A Far-Right Rallying Cry | Who are the Protestors? | A Moment for Fringe Groups

There really is no need to read any further. Whilst acknowledging that the protests have taken on an international dimension, the liberal media moves reflexively to deligitimise them as ‘A far-right rallying call’. It is essential, from an ideological perspective, that on no account must the protestors be considered concerned citizens with legitimate grievances; Tom, Dick, Harry or Abdul, whoever they are and from wherever they come, they must be painted to suit the liberal narrative as swastika-waving Nazis. And even though in the real world the protest has ‘gone viral’, the message from the puppet masters to their trembling minions below is, don’t worry snowflakes it’s just a ‘Moment for fringe groups’.

We would all do well to remember that everything in our short lifetime is just a moment, and yet, as we know from history, a ‘moment’ can be extremely significant. It only took a moment to drop the atom bomb, but that moment ended WWII and changed the course of history.  

Let us remind ourselves, however, that the media source to which I refer is written for liberals, served to liberals and read by liberals, thus the depth and need for denial is understandable. These are truly difficult times for liberals, and as their ideology spirals out of control, they can only become more difficult and the denial they seek proportionally vapid.

Even so, when at their most delusive does a fringe group stop being a fringe group and become a mainstream movement in the mind of the Liberarsey? The answer, as if you did not know it already, is when it occupies pride of place in the little toy box of liberal effects, deceits and cuddly dolls that they like to call their own.

Black Lives Matter is a prime example. Although it devastated cities, cost lives and millions of $/£s, it was billed by the liberal corporate media as a ‘largely peaceful protest’, whereas the Canadian Truckers’ Freedom Convoy is condemned out of hand as a despicable threat to democracy, that same democracy, incidentally, mugged, abused and left in the gutter by those who purport to exalt it, to which the truckers and their supporters are attempting to give the kiss of life.

Nevertheless, whilst liberalism is clearly on its way out, its grand impresarios continue to call on their minions and stooges to play what tricks they might have left concealed inside their sleeves.

Take Justin Trudeau, for example (You thought he had been taken? Yes, abduction by aliens could be one explanation). Just when we were beginning to suspect that Justin Trudeau had become the victim of a secret experiment gone woefully wrong, possibly undertaken in a laboratory in China, an experiment that seemed to have turned him into a likeness of the invisible man, suddenly, yesterday, he re-emerges, as though sneaking out from behind the false back of a corny magician’s cabinet, to resume his second-rate act as Canada’s prime minister ~ but only on video, mind.

Trudeau:
Am I see through?
Voice of Reckoning:
Yes, Mr Trudeau. You always have been. The difference now, however, is that totalitarian practices in the name of Coronavirus are waking them up to who you are, what you are, who you represent and what it is they are up to. It’s only a matter of time …

In an address that is the stuff of melodrama and comedy, Trudeau proceeds to define real Canadians as those unconditionally obedient to lockdowns and jabs, thus by implication dispossessing the Canadian truckers and disparaging their worldwide supporters, who are opposing totalitarianism, as respectively unCanadian and members of a fringe group.

Trudeau’s recorded address is sickly, gushing, fawning and fulsome. It might have won some plaudits had it been televised on children’s hour, but for real, mature, grown-up adults it is as flimsy and as see-through as Trudeau is himself and only deserving of ridicule.

In this opinion, it seems that I am not entirely alone. See the following clip:

If you feel that Trudeau, Macron, Blair are all from the same mould, that they have rolled off the same neoliberal production line, groomed in everything  from the way they speak, the type of clothes they wear, to the body language that they exude, then you might suspect that they are clones from the disingenuous and deceitful matrix of neoliberal globalism.

If you wrapped them up in HG Wells-type bandages, they might attain more substance but seen in the flesh they are nothing more than dressed-up shop-window dummies, plastic for the most part and invisible when it suits them. Let’s hope that their invisibility, and the invisibility lost by those who pull the strings behind the scenes, lost thanks to coronavirus and overreach authority, soon become a permanent feature, like lockdowns, masks and jabs, of a swiftly passing and vanishing yesterday: Unseen, forgotten, utterly gone.

Now that would be a New World Order that we could all embrace and be proud of!

PS: If anyone has an idea for a ‘fringe event’ like that of the Canadian Truckers’ Freedom Convoy that could earn us global support, accelerate the demise of a despicable ideology, change the course of history and, no less significantly, generate $6mn dollars for us in 24 hours, please feel free (‘free’ an important word that!) to contact me at World Fringe Group Unlimited.
