Trudeau Panicking: Another Canadian Military Leader Breaks Rank, Government Rattled (Video)
RAIR Foundation USA ^ | February 12, 2022 | Amy Mek

“These government traders to freedom are suppressing the rights of the very people they claim to honor…” – Canadian Army Major Stephen Chledowski

The Canadian Armed Forces are once again targeting one of their high-ranking officers who has spoken out against government-ordered mandates and authoritarian restrictions. Canada is the latest left-wing government to target military or police officers defending their nation’s constitution.

Canadian Major Stephen Chledowski

A powerful video by Canadian Army Major Stephen Chledowski, in uniform, appeared on social media Thursday, as thousands of citizens remain in Ottawa for the Truckers Freedom Convoy. It also came as massive numbers of serving military personnel faced the threat of forced removal from the Armed Forces for refusing to be injected with the controversial mRNA gene therapy.

In the video transcribed by RAIR Foundation USA, Maj. Chledowski describes himself as a father, a soldier of nearly 21 years, and a veteran of Afghanistan. The unvaccinated soldier professed his love and commitment to the people of Canada, their human rights, freedoms, and bodily autonomy throughout his almost seven-minute speech on YouTube before they removed it.

The left-wing media immediately seized on the video, painting Maj. Chledowski as an extremist who is working against his government. On the contrary, the military hero called on his government leaders to stop stripping Canadian citizens of the freedoms that he fought to protect. Furthermore, he encouraged others who vowed to protect and honor the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as other signed International Human Rights Agreements” to remember their oath.

"Traders".

Whatever point the author of this article is trying to make is undermined by this from the beginning. Is this really how the author thinks the word "traitors" is to be written?

[[If anyone doubts that this is about power and control, and not in the least about protecting people, they only have to watch what is unfolding around the United States and Canada right now.]]

Exactly, and thus is exactly why this needs to be on display in such a visual manner... because it exposes that fact, that this is about exposing tyranny by the governments, in a spectacular way. The msm are forced to show it and try year best to villianize the truckers, but they know they are failing to succeed at doing thst because we the people are finally saying “nope, no more”, you the government work for us, which evidently you have forgotten, and we are here to remind you of that fact”

It is a powerful visual message to the world, and now other nations are also becoming emboldened because of what these truckers have accomplished

Many years ago Greece, fed up with their government stealing their retirement funds in the banks, did nationwide shutdowns of major throughways, and they succeeded in forcing the government to back down despite the threats from the government. I thought back then what an effective means of effecting change, and here we see it happening in spectacular fashion once again.

Unless something is done, unless someone is punished, it will keep going on.

And VERY few people in positions to do anything about it seem inclined to do anything about it.

This is a pickle we find ourselves in. I have been steaming about this for some time, and especially for the last year, and have decided to get involved in local politics.

I hate politics. Hate it. But I have concluded that if we leave governing to those who really love it, then the majority of those people are statist Leftists.

So, I am doing it against my will, especially in this bluest of blue states where I have not enjoyed political representation for my entire adult lifetime.

It is either that, or gnash my teeth and bitch to high heaven. And that is wearing on me.

I remember they had one section of highway where they had toll booths set up every few miles, and you had to pay a quarter at each one!

That was the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15). State Sen. and later Independence Party gubernatorial candidate Tom Scott led the charge to have those removed decades ago. The Dems want to bring them back now. We had one of the toll booths in the middle of my home town of Wallingford, and I spent my entire childhood never going through it because my father always picked the entrance that avoided it.

Yes...I agree this is what is needed right now, a national and international spectacle.

It helps people to realize they are not alone in this.

I have had personal experience with the way the media lies openly about things, and what they are doing at the CBC and all the American media is no surprise to me, painting as the actions of insignificant, dangerous radical, racist, selfish extremists.

It is what they do.

Money’s just a thing. It’s the desire for it (whether from avarice or a “driven” need) that causes problems.

There are not many options they have to get the government’s attention.

They are doing what works and I honestly think they were surprised at the amount of popular support they are receiving.

You are seriously pushing propaganda now, Why are you not even trying to at least re-write your posts?

Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake; what was propagandistic about suggesting the drivers go on strike if the government does not adjust its attitude?

OUR fundamental freedoms, I assume.

I’ve seen the same thing said for companies that forced jab mandates on their employees and lost people in the process. Guess what? In many cases, they’re not able to get replacements. (And I’m not talking medical industry here...I’m talking transportation industry.)

Even people that have willingly been vaccinated don’t appreciate being told they MUST do something for a job. And by imposing mandates, with a stated willingness to destroy careers over them, such employers have already announced to the world what they think of their employees.

"Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15)"

Yes! That was it!

LOL, I remember when I was in the USN stationed at Cecil Field in Florida, I got leave approved and was going to drive home, a 24 hour straight through drive in the days of the 55 mph speed limit.

Well, I was working nights, got up around Noon, went to work and worked all night, and left for home at around 8 AM the following morning.

I drove all day and all night, arriving home around 6 AM the next morning, immediately washing my car, and then jumping back in it and driving on a date up to New Hampshire, and around 1 AM the following morning, fell asleep at the wheel and went off the highway into the median driving the girl home from that day at the beach. I had been awake by my account around 61 hours, and I couldn't let a minute of leave from the Navy go to waste. I was young and stupid. I could have killed or maimed that girl I took on that date, not to mention myself or some other innocent driver.

I have never done anything like that again.

But, I had three funny things happen on my way home from Florida on that long sleep deprived night...as I got through New York and was going up the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkway, it was pouring rain, probably maybe 2 or 3 AM, and I had the windshield wipers going double-time but it wasn't helping. Somewhere south of New York, I had taken No-Doze tablets, something I had never done before, and I wasn't even a coffee drinker, and as I went through New York City, I was swerving, dodging in and out of traffic in my little yellow MG Midget, giving people the finger, shouting swears out the window...I was completely overdosing on caffeine in a body totally unused to caffeine! (I had taken more than 'just two' of those damn things)

Anyway, in Connecticut they wore off and I bonked completely. As I drove down the deserted Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkway, peering with blurry eyes trying to stay awake through an even blurrier water drenched windshield, I was going uphill on a long stretch, and suddenly...there was a tree across the road, all the way from one side to another! I blinked, then slammed on my brakes, my car skidding sideways and hydroplaning until I stopped in the middle of the highway.

As my eyes adjusted, I realized it was not a tree in the road, but an overpass that was coming into view as I climbed uphill on the long stretch of that highway. My heart was hammering, and I didn't have any problem staying awake.

A few hours later, just as the sky was turning light, again, nobody on the roads on the Massachusetts highway, I was less than an hour from home, when suddenly, I found my car driving through a swath of gore on the highway. Bright red blood and chunks of meat and bone everywhere. I was though it before I could even touch my brakes. It was unreal. As if someone had hit a cow or something. It was even too big to have been a deer.

Well at the same time, consider that the Portuguese “Carnation Revolution” of 1974 was driven by the mid-level officer corps.

Dishonesty is a Bad Business Plan: The Democrats And Their Covid Tyranny!

“Perhaps for the ruling class the only thing that would be more terrifying than seeing children go to school without masks is the idea of losing elections.” — Grace Curley, The Spectator

The whopping untruths launched onto the people of Western Civ by their governments reformatted the brains of millions so badly that they shuffled obediently into a mass formation and ran over a buffalo jump. What a stampede it has been!

But suddenly, the remaining buffaloes are balking at the cliff’s edge, seeing the bodies pile up below. Some of the bulls have even turned the other way and started charging back across the darkling prairie at the creatures driving the herd with their klaxons of deceit.

All authority, from Vienna to Vancouver, stands revealed as psychopathic — it apparently seeks to kill and injure as many as possible. Talk about the needle and the damage done! Why else persist with vaccines that don’t work and which provoke the most lethal disease mechanisms as side-effects?

The most mysterious element of the story, of course, is what motivated the various actors in this accursed melodrama. You could start by asking Dr. Anthony Fauci why he suggested this week the need for yet another round of the same mRNA booster shots that already proved completely ineffective against the omicron generation of Coronavirus.

People are dropping dead from the boosters.

Each successive shot sends a fresh cargo of toxic artificial spike proteins into the bloodstream, which remain at work for more than a year, insidiously gumming up the capillaries of vital organs and throwing toggle switches in the coded proteins of immune systems that turn off the body’s natural defenses against a panoply of diseases, including cancers. The life insurance companies are starting to notice and squawk about the astounding rise in...

Your little MG would have woken you up had you raced across the “DEPRESSED STORM DRAINS” on those parkways. Now if you were driving to New Hampshire, you probably would have cut over to I-91 in Meriden, as I-15 turned into the Berlin Turnpike (think about the road the Bates Motel was on, which thrived until the big interstate got put in).

Both the U.S. and Canada have a history of rebellion against tyrannical political regimes. With each country, tyrannical leaders imposed mandates and taxes to control the population. The political climate in 1837 in Canada, and 1776 in the U.S. were manifestations of discontent with corrupt and tyrannical leaders and governments. The contemporary tyranny we see today is very similar to what caused the revolutions in the U.S and Canada. We now have power hungry politicians on both side of the border that see control of the population as their only way to maintain their power. We celebrate the revolutions of the past, so perhaps the current revolutions should be a cause for celebration.
