DHS Warns that U.S. 'Freedom Convoy' Could Start on Super Bowl Sunday
PJ Media ^ | 02/10/2022 | Rick Moran

The Department of Homeland Security, which sees right-wing terrorists behind every bush and bramble, is warning law enforcement and public safety officials across the United States that a “prolonged trucker convoy” could begin on February 13 — Super Bowl Sunday.

The warning says “the convoy could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement operations through gridlock and potential counterprotests.”

Documents obtained by Yahoo News say that DHS “has received reports of a convoy of truckers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers.”

The DHS alert says that “the group intends to start in California as early as mid-February and travel to Washington, D.C., as late as mid-March, reportedly gathering truckers as they travel across the country,” adding that truckers from the protest in Ottawa may also head to Washington to participate.

The DHS document, which is marked unclassified and for official use only, notes that as of its release on Feb. 8, the U.S. trucker convoy “appears to be purely aspirational because the event is only being discussed online,” though it warns that “this could change quickly.”

The Super Bowl is being played this coming Sunday, so if the “aspirational” online talk is going to amount to anything that Homeland Security has any right or reason to monitor, the organizers better get going.

Meanwhile, Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is doing their part to censor information on the potential U.S. convoy. Can’t have any of this messy “freedom” stuff ruining the Super Bowl.

Wow, I’m sure they consider that a crime against humanity, if a convoy started in LA, and attracts attention due to attention focused on LA and the Super Bowl.

Jan6 taught us a lesson. The.govt can do to you what it wants when you’re an insurrectionist or classified a Domestic Terrorist.
Some of those rugs cost as much as the middle class home. Civil forfeiture.

This could develop into something much bigger than the Dems could imagine.

President Jilly is going to have her hands full. She’ll mess this up like she did Afghanistan.

What’s there to “warn” about? It would be a peaceful protest which the Constitution gives us a right to do. DHS is trying to demonize peaceful protest.

What I have seen of the organization of the group in d’Ottawa is that many of the people central to the Freedom Convoy are ex military and internal security people. One man was with the RCMO and CSIS, and has spoken at trials, as an expert on terrorism. These folks KNOW HOW to protest PEACFULLT, LEGALLT, and to MAXIMUM effect!

I hope that the US Freedom Convoys also have such leadership. All it takes is one bad actor, or one too many PAID CRISIS ACTORS!

Prayers for these US convoys and continued prayers for our Canadian heroes in d’Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Coutts, Windsor and all other locations!

Sorry, I have no idea who the RCMO are! That should read RCMP.

These are ruthless Nazis. They will false-flag any Convoy six ways to Sunday.

Hey Homeland - the last insurrection weapon of choice was flagpoles - the next one is hamburgers. Stock up on napkins.
