Two years ago, I wrote a column denouncing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of a counter-terrorism law to shut down the Freedom Convoy trucker protests as an authoritarian attack on free speech. Now, a Canadian court has agreed and ruled that the use of the Emergencies Act was unlawful and “unreasonable.” Despite Trudeau’s attacks on civil liberties, he remains a favorite of the media as an iconic figure on the left. Various civil liberties groups have opposed the iron-handed measures of Trudeau, including The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation. The characterization of political critics as...

I would appreciate it if Freepers could share their experience with and/or opinion of GoFundMe. I have a friend who has just lost his job due to a freak, sudden health condition and he will probably lose his house. He has worked for his employer for over 20 years and lost he ability to walk last year due to FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).I have never done GOFundMe before. Is there any alternative that is better? Appreciate your advice.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is targeting donors of the Trump electors who she is persecuting for standing against election fraud after the dubious 2020 presidential election. The Detroit News reported on Wednesday that Nessel had obtained a search warrant to receive a list of donors who had contributed to the legal defense of the pro-Trump patriots charged by the AG with a laundry list of felonies for submitting an alternate slate of electors as election fraud cases were being heard in court in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Nessel requested bank routing numbers, contributions and communications in order...

GoFundMe froze a fundraising campaign for the far-left news outlet The Grayzone due to “external concerns”, in the latest case to highlight the contentious role of tech companies in regulating controversial speech.

GoFundMe has removed multiple fundraising pages set up by strangers to help the elderly rancher charged with murder for shooting dead a Mexican migrant on his Arizona ranch.

Over the past two years or so, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) influence over governments and institutions of sovereign nations has become increasingly apparent. Founded in 1971 by German economist Klaus Schwab, the WEF has remained fairly under the radar for decades. However, the organization has been quietly expanding its icy grip around the throats of the world’s population by installing operatives in the upper echelons of governments and corporations. This influence has expanded so far that Schwab and his allies appear to have given up trying to conceal their agenda and even openly gloat about controlling nations’ leaders. When...

Conservatives have long been concerned about companies discriminating against their viewpoints and promoting a left-wing agenda, but there have been few conservative-leaning businesses offering viable alternatives. Several new companies have emerged to combat this problem in various fields including financial services, entertainment and consumer goods; conservative entrepreneurs want to influence the culture and offer an alternative to businesses that are hostile to their beliefs. “This movement has to be cultural, it can’t just be about business … It’s about daring people to think this way and showing them it can be done. It transcends a lot of the fake and...

Derek Chauvin could not afford an attorney to appeal his convictions in the case of George Floyd. Chauvin’s insurance did not extend to appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court denied him a public defender. Although I thought Chauvin could not have received a fair trial in Hennepin County, it looked like he wouldn’t be able to raise the issue on appeal either. I put out the call on Power Line for some member of the Minnesota bar to represent Chauvin on appeal. In the best tradition of the American legal profession, my friend Bill Mohrman answered the call. Chauvin’s legal...

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland said in an announcement that names of both individuals and entities have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions and accounts have been frozen and as well as investigation of crypto wallets. Both journalists and politicians are assisting in identifying anyone who has donated to the Freedom Convoy after hackers illegally released GiveSendGo donor data on Monday. True North has gathered information on the most prominent figures who have engaged in sharing the illegal data contents, but the names have been removed. Gerald Butts, the former principal secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among...

The Washington Post took advantage of the allegedly hacked data of individuals throughout the United States who donated to the Canadian Freedom Convoy and “Adopt-a-Trucker” campaigns through GiveSendGo. The result was a pressure tactic against convoy supporters. The Post revealed the identities of several individuals caught in the reported 100,316 donations leaked in the alleged GiveSendGo hack by contacting them personally and then reporting their names. The report was headlined, “Which U.S. communities sent money to support the Canadian trucker protests?” The story targeted individuals throughout the United States who “sent millions of dollars to support trucker convoys that occupied...

@libsoftiktok This is apparently the dude who hacked GiveSendGo *Strong Language* Clip...

GiveSendGo, the Christian crowdfunding site that helped raise $8.7 million for the anti-vax “freedom convoy” in Canada, was hacked on Sunday night.

After raising over $9 million for the Freedom Convoy movement and having their funds blocked and even seized by private banks, Christian crowdsourcing platform GiveSendGo has been hacked and taken offline. The news was initially reported by Human Events editor Jack Posobiec. BREAKING: @GiveSendGo has been hacked and taken offline — Honkmaster Poso 🎺 (@JackPosobiec) February 14, 2022 The hackers reportedly leaked personal information of those who donated to the Freedom Convoy. An S3 bucket run by GiveSendGo was found to be leaking pics of drivers licenses, military IDs, passports, & other sensitive docs just days ago. Source tells me...

“Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”The crowdfunding platform “GoFundMe” has sparked outrage in recent weeks after twice pausing donations to the Canadian Freedom Convoy before deciding they would shut the group’s donation page down altogether at the $10 million mark due to alleged “terms of service” violations.Further angering supporters of the convoy, which is protesting oppressive Wuhan virus vaccine mandates, was GoFundMe’s initial decision to seize the donations...

The https://givesendgo.com/ main page is currently compromised and redirecting traffic to a video at https://givesendgone.wtf/ The page is allowing the download of a .csv file that has the names and donation amounts made to the Canadian Freedom Convoy. (I have a copy of it) If you download the file open it as a text file or in Wordpad - I recommend against opening it in Excel in case there are malicious macros embedded in it. The video at "givesendgone" has a sample from the Frozen movie overlaid with a screed against the truckers which I will partly transcribe and post...

The “heavy” DDoS attack on GiveSendGo took place when the platform started collecting donations for Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign. GoFundMe’s rival GiveSendGo claims it was a victim of “heavy DDoS and bot attacks” on Friday, leading to server downtime as soon as the site started raising cash for the Canadian trucker convoy. According to the website despite technical glitches, the Christian fundraising platform raised more than $1.35 million within 12 hours. It is worth noting that the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign is seeking to raise $16 million. As per a video message from campaign organizer Tamara Lich, the convoy aims...

The Ford government has gone to court to freeze the funds of the Freedom Convoy, according to the Toronto Sun's Brian Lilley. The order was issued by the court today and all funds are frozen until further notice. It is worth noting that the funds have been frozen, not seized. According to a statement: "Today, the Attorney General brought an application in the Superior Court of Justice for an order pursuant to section 490.8 of the Criminal Code prohibiting any person from disposing of, or otherwise dealing with, in any manner whatsoever, any and all monetary donations made through the...

Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign. --
