An unstoppable peaceful protest on 18 wheels
American Thinker.com ^ | February 22, 2022 | Jack Gleason

Americans are ticked off at the shenanigans going on in Canada. Martial law for a few thousand truckers protesting mandates? Seizing bank accounts? Trampling peaceful protesters with horses? All this to force people to get an injection that doesn't work for an illness that causes less death than the seasonal flu? This has gone too far.

U.S. truckers are even angrier. They are the critical part of our transportation system that gets goods from the farms and factories to the stores, and they worked tirelessly during the darkest days of the pandemic.

Now they, too, are being forced to get the shots, despite the fact that they spend 95% of their time isolated in their trucks. If unvaxxed truckers can't cross into Canada, that will be another blow to our already failing supply chain and will weaken our economy.

I saw an idea online about a safe way for truckers to support their brethren in Canada, and protest similar overreaches in the U.S. It's called #12NoonTruckStop and makes a lot of sense.

The idea is for all truckers to safely pull to the side of the road every day at 12 noon and stop for 12 minutes. Hundreds of trucks would line the highways, and people could honk their support. At 12:12 P.M. they're back on the road.

This is a dumbassed idea. What’s the point of pulling off the road for twelve minutes? That will accomplish squat.

What was the point of dumping tea in a harbor...?

Dumping tea into the harbor was a direct economic hit. What does taking a 12-minute nap on the side of the road accomplish? Nobody will notice or care.

Ridiculous. They should just stop driving. Period.

A 12 minute nationwide hit to the just in time supply chain should send a message.

Er, no. Probably not. Stop all the trucks rolling for a week straight, and you’ll leave a mark...

Stop all trucking for a week and you’ll make more enemies than friends.

No point in doing that.

Yet.

U.S. truckers should refuse all loads into Canada in support. Let them eat snow !

Agreed. This would be about as effective as asking all truckers to pin carnations on their shirts in protest.

Peaceful protests of any kind don’t work. We just saw that in Canada.

> “What’s the point of pulling off the road for twelve minutes? That will accomplish squat.”

The #12NoonTruckStop may be a better idea than the American Freedom Convoy set for starting March 1.

The #12NoonTruckStop idea will get lots of attention without relying on state corporate media to carry it. The plan to repeat it everyday will increase its message coverage.

Most importantly, #12NoonTruckStop is an idea that is more difficult, if not improbable to be used to spin up a FALSE FLAG, a staged insurrection.

Whereas, the American Freedom Convoy is prone to manipulation by bad actors or state media propaganda.

Already, news broadcasts show Biden saying he has received intel (likely Trudeau) that the American Freedom Convoy will attack the Capitol and commit violence.

The Organizer for the American Freedom Convoy stretching from Barstow, California to Washington DC said on Bannon’s War Room that the American Freedom Convoy would NOT enter the Capitol.

Doesn’t matter.

Once the Convoy reaches the outskirts of DC, the BLM/Antifa contingent merged with factions of SEIU may meld themselves into the Convoy and carry it inside DC Proper.

That said, the Organizers for the American Freedom Convoy are expected to know the Convoy protest can be manipulated, especially given the twisted narrative of the Jan 6 “Insurrection.”

And we can be certain the State Media is already preparing scripts that are false and outrageous to those that value the truth.

So we’ll see what unfolds and we’ll pray the American Freedom Convoy Protest will not be used to spawn a False Flag.

They should just stop driving to certain locations.

Los Angeles
NYC
San Francisco
DC
Chicago
The 2020 swing states where massive fraud occured
...etc

Or, stop hauling certain types of cargo...

Hit the pressure points.

Drive 12 MPH at 12:00.

If all the truckers stopped at the same time for 12 minutes it would bring attention to how many trucks are actually on thew road daily. Normally people ignore this fact. If done all across Canada or here for that matter it would give a glimpse of what could happen.

But this would only work if they had media coverage.

Right, which they don’t. So, do you pin carnations on one’s lapel, or just sit at home for a week? I’d suggest the latter.

This idea is super-gay, seriously. Maybe if the trucks pulled over for twelve hours, I could see the point, but right now? Yeah, no sale.

You must have never driven on an Interstate. We’re all well aware of how many trucks are there.
