(LifeSiteNews) — Canada’s federal government on Thursday held a question-and-answer session with the administration and legal teams of crowdfunding outfits GiveSendGo and GoFundMe. If you have chosen to avoid alcohol for Lent, I would advise that you avoid watching the exchanges. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can watch it here.
Typical of Canadian governmental procedures today, there was no real conversation between any of the parties involved, but instead there was a narrative and there was reality.
The Liberals asked insane questions — which were nothing but leading questions. They also took shots at the religious beliefs of the Christian founders of GiveSendGo — of course — and they couldn’t help themselves but to compare what happened in Ottawa to the January 6 event in Washington, D.C., last year.
Conservative MP Dane Lloyd did a fair job at trying to speak about actual lived history — rather than fantasy leftist fiction — with those being questioned, but it is not possible for one MP to make a circus of the absurd into a civilized event.
Hats off to the GiveSendGo sibling founders Jacob Wells and Heather Wilson for showing up and speaking with the leftist nut jobs who must have given a bad impression of Canadian hospitality. If this piece reaches the Christian duo, please, do not take the most unhinged of us to represent the minds and attitudes of the sane lot of Canadians that supported the truckers.
No definition of terms
One thing that the recent couple years of political insanity has taught me is that each side of the divide believes its own perception of events to be objective fact, which should be accepted by all.
Now, my fellow right-wingers are not infallible and can of course make errors. However, on the right there is at least an attempt to consider actual data about a given situation. Supporters of the truckers tended to be right-wingers, or at least did not hate right-wingers, whereas their political enemies were largely of the sort who believe that CNN is a serious enterprise.
For this reason, the leftists who questioned the GiveSendGo team kept using terms like “siege” to refer to what happened in Ottawa during those halcyon weeks.
According to the Oxford dictionary — which is approved for Google searches by the Big Tech high priests — a siege is defined as: “A military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling the surrender of those inside.”
The only militaristic force present in Ottawa was from the Canadian government, who were the ones who cut off the supplies to the truckers.
As you can imagine, it was difficult for the GiveSendGo team to answer questions about truckers sieging Ottawa and why they would help fund a “siege” because no such siege took place, except for in the mind of unhinged politicos who prefer to live on Zoom.
GoFundMe bowed to the government
For its part, GoFundMe sent legal counsel and company president Juan Benitez, who did nothing but appease the government’s yearning for submission to all its demands.
The narrative from GoFundMe was essentially that the organization initially agreed to host the protest movement when it was acceptable and small, but, when it got big and scary, it was time to pull the plug.
After consulting with local police in Ottawa, Benitez decided to pull the plug because local “leaders” described the protest as an “occupation.”
Well, there you have it, leftist politicians from the city where Justin Trudeau is the Tyrant King of the Great COVID North told a company that they didn’t like what was happening so it had to stop! Bravo to the critical thinking skills of the shills who run that company. Perhaps they are vying for a spot alongside Trudeau at the World Economic Forum.
I wonder if Benitez ever thought about pulling the plug on financing Black Lives Matter fundraisers … Of course, the chaos caused by the BLM movement in the summer of 2020 was not anything as bad as an occupation — those were just fiery but mostly peaceful protests.
Maybe if instead of lighting fires to keep warm and broil burgers, the tuckers burned buildings and businesses they would have received more favor from the Funding Fuhrers.
I guess we will never know.
Propaganda masterclass
Not content with bringing up January 6, the Liberals just had to bring in the Ku Klux Klan. GiveSendGo was asked if they would host a fundraiser group associated with racist organizations, and they replied by saying they will allow funding for whatever is legal.
What else should they say? “No, we have strict ideological litmus test that allows us to pick and choose what is important to people when they want to send money.” It is an open platform. It cannot be open if it is closed off …
This is a classic “gotcha” question, and is typical gaslighting. It is effective, as the first paragraph from the Canadian Press Association article on the event from today reads: “The co-founder of GiveSendGo, a crowdfunding platform used by protesters who blockaded the national capital, testified Thursday to being OK with hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan and Proud Boys fundraising on the site, so long as it was legal.”
Look at that! Now, the legions of people who read the story that was sent out to the national papers conflates a Christian group with supporting the lynching and murdering of black Americans, which is also somehow tied to the group of truckers who laid a “siege” on Ottawa.
A propaganda masterclass.
Never let anyone tell you that the mainstream media is just “reporting the facts,” because they are not. They are engineering reality to fit their Marxist fantasies, and it is an evil — a truly evil — operation.
The rest of the article is a bit more fair, but the folks in the mainstream know that most will not read past the first couple of paragraphs, and that if they do, they are just reading a story about racists who ought not be taken seriously.
Liberal Christianity is from Hell
The most heated exchange between the leftists and the sane people at GiveSendGo came at the end of the committee meeting.
Liberal MP Pam Damoff asked Wells why GiveSendGo had allowed the Proud Boys in the U.S. — technically labeled a terrorist group in Canada — to use the site for fundraising.
“If we started mandating litmus tests for how good people ought to be in order to use public services, we would be in a very, very difficult situation,” Wells said. “We believe completely to the core of our being that the danger of the suppression of speech is much more dangerous than the speech itself.”
Showing true leftist decorum, Damoff proceeded to insult Well’s Christian beliefs by expressing her damnable religious opinion: “My brand of Christianity is very different than yours if it includes hate.”
If Damoff’s Gospel does not have any room for hate, than it has no room for Christ.
“If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.” (John 15:18)
It is ironic that a politician from a party that disallows love for the unborn to be discussed within party ranks is lecturing a pious Christian woman about her religious beliefs.
I remember reading in the New Testament that the devil also quotes scripture. There is a lesson in there.
