U.S offers Trudeau government help to end border blockade

White House says Homeland Security chief urged Ottawa to use its powers to quash this blockade

U.S officials have offered help the Trudeau government end an anti-vaccine mandate protest that is sending ripple effects through the American economy and causing increasing concern in Washington.

The White House says U.S officials had multiple conversations on Thursday with their Canadian counterparts about the blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a major trade artery which connects Windsor, Ont. with Detroit.

The White House said Thursday the U.S. federal cabinet and senior administration staff are now seized with the issue.

"(They) have been engaged around the clock to bring this to a swift end," the White House said in response to questions from CBC News.

The administration of U.S President Joe Biden said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urged his Canadian counterparts Thursday to use their own federal powers to end the blockade at the Canada-U.S. border.

Mayorkas also reportedly offered the help of his department to end the impasse.

The White House did not elaborate on the offer of help. Mayorkas's department handles multiple agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Those officers are posted at border checkpoints, including the Ambassador Bridge--the busiest crossing between the two countries and a vital trade link...

Hey, guys, here’s the solution and it won’t cost you a dime.

Lift ALL the mandates and restrictions and lockdowns and anything else Covid related now.

You guys want a great reset?

Reset us back to pre-Covid.

Completely,

100%

No exceptions. Not for towns, schools, private businesses, medical establishments, nothing.

Go back to 100% pre-Covid and this whole situation will vanish like smoke in the wind.

That’s probably what they’d like to do and would if they thought they could get away with it.

Great! Maybe they can barter a deal where Canada helps defend our southern border.

Machine-translated from English and then into French and then back into English?

Anyone ever seen this ungainly expression before?

What is the US going to do, send A-10s to strafe the convoys?

Those who say the blood of patriots y'know and all the stuff about how we're going to have to move against the government. Well the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots,” Biden said on Wednesday, announcing new gun control actions from the White House. “What's happened is, that there never been, if you wanted, you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,” he continued.

Good thing Buyden’s influencers/puppetmasters include Russian and Chinese 🇨🇳 bribed and blackmailed RNC and DNC Uniparty, or he and his leftist globalist thugs might be looking at a convoy containing a few covert Club-K variants driven in by one of several “wagner” types, when the trucks get into strategically important locations.

Especially with the simultaneous “chess” games going in EUCOM, CENTCOM and INDO-PACOM AOR’s. 🕶 🇺🇸

Bonus Army
United States history

By The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica • Edit History
Date: 1932 1933
Location: United States Washington, D.C.
Context: G.I. Bill
Bonus Army, gathering of probably 10,000 to 25,000 World War I veterans (estimates vary widely) who, with their wives and children, converged on Washington, D.C., in 1932, demanding immediate bonus payment for wartime services to alleviate the economic hardship of the Great Depression.

Adjusted Compensation certificates, or bonuses, had been approved by Congress in 1924 but were not scheduled for full payment until 1945. In an effort to force early lump-sum payment of these urgently needed benefits, the Bonus Army, sometimes called the “Bonus Expeditionary Force,” converged on the nation’s capital in the spring of 1932; they moved into abandoned shacks below the Capitol and set up shanties and tents along the Anacostia River. Despite inadequate housing, sanitation, and food, the movement’s leader, Walter W. Waters, managed to maintain order and to oust agitators.

In mid-June the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that authorized an immediate payout of the bonuses to the veterans, but the Senate rejected the bill (62–18), and most of the veterans left for home discouraged. The rest, variously estimated at 2,000 to 10,000, over the next few weeks engaged in protests and near-riots, producing an atmosphere of restlessness and threats of turbulence. Local authorities requested that U.S. Pres. Herbert Hoover intervene. Troops led by Brig. Gen. Perry L. Miles and accompanied by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. Army chief of staff, drove out the demonstrators and destroyed their encampments, using tanks and tear gas. One veteran was shot to death, and several veterans and policemen were wounded. Congress then appropriated $100,000 to send the protestors home, and they dispersed.

Politically, the event was a blow to Hoover. A second Bonus Army came in May 1933 and this time was greeted by the new president’s wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, and presidential assistant Louis Howe. Although again no bonus legislation was passed, Congress did create the Civilian Conservation Corps, in which many of the veterans were able to find work. In 1936, however, Congress finally passed, over a presidential veto, a bill to disburse about $2 billion in veterans’ benefits. The Bonus Army laid the foundation for the G.I. Bill of Rights (194

It was FDR who vetoed the bill. Anyone see something very familiar about this famous march and today’s events?

These Satanic psychopaths, who have infested the US and Canadian Governments like rats, are all so boring, predictable, and tiresome.

No one, in his right mind, has any trust, confidence, or faith in any federal government person of any kind. These atrocious monsters exist only to enable, support, and facilitate the actions of poisoners, murderers, creeps, homosexuals, pedophiles, ANTIFA-BLM terrorists, and other horrible creatures. While incessantly embracing all things evil, these same children of Satan simultaneously wage war against We The People and anyone else who is honest and Constitution-driven.

All major federal organizations serve as Satanic tentacles of the District of Corruption, a vile swamp that will soon hopefully be absolutely destroyed by the Divine Fury of Almighty God.

May His Righteous and Divine Destruction of that Satanic cesspool come ASAP.
