Fox News Promoting Slow-Motion Insurrection: Bringing It’s Anti-Vaxxer Trucker Blockade to Washington, D.C.

by

The fascist propagandists at Fox News are trying to bring their “Canadian” – actually MAGA anti-vaxxer – trucker boycott to Washington, D.C. long enough to dsrupt President Biden’s State of the Union Address on March 1. Treat this as part of the slow-motion insurrection being promoted daily by this fascist propaganda network since the violent seditious insurrection on January 6, 2021.

Fox News D.C. bureau reports, DC trucker convoy plans on shutting down Capital Beltway, organizer says: ‘Giant boa constrictor’:

A trucker convoy heading to Washington, D.C., plans to shut down the Capital Beltway  later this week in protest of wide-ranging issues such as fuel prices, vaccine requirements and immigration, the organizer said.

Bob Bolus, who owns a truck parts and towing business in Scranton, Pennsylvania, told FOX5 DC that he heard hundreds of people were interested in taking part in shutting down the roadway in protest.

“I’ll give you an analogy of that of a giant boa constrictor,” Bolus said. “That basically squeezes you, chokes you and it swallows you, and that’s what we’re going to do the D.C.”

Bolus, who the station reported is a longtime supporter of former President Trump, said that the protest will leave a lane open for emergency vehicles for safety, but he couldn’t promise that commuters would make it to work on time.

“We will not compromise anybody’s safety or health, one way or the other,” Bolus said. “As far as if they can’t get to work, geez that’s too bad.”

[In] response to the impending protests in the capital, D.C. police have already limited time off for officers and put nearly 500 officers on civil disturbance units daily beginning Wednesday, the station reported.

Law enforcement in the D.C. area told the station that police are aware of the situation and are communicating with local, state, and federal partners.

Huffingtonpost reports, Canadian Official Schools Truckers On How Their Protests Aren’t About Freedom:

A Canadian government official on Sunday powerfully pointed out how truckers’ bullying, destructive weekslong shutdown against COVID-19 vaccines and other health measures does not constitute a fight for freedom.

“A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all,” tweeted Bob Rae, Canada’s representative to the United Nations.

“A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion,” Rae added. And in a declaration just as dead-on south of the border, he noted: “A lie is not the truth.”

Rae issued his comments after vaccine-protesting truckers — the darlings of right-wing American politicians — paralyzed downtown Ottawa for weeks and blockaded the Ambassador Bridge linking Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, choking off critical supplies to American auto plants.

Associations representing Canadian truckers denounced the actions, saying the vast majority of their members were vaccinated and continuing to work.

Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa also denounced the ongoing Freedom (sic) Convoy protest at the Canadian border. TEAMSTERS DENOUNCE FREEDOM CONVOY BLOCKADE AT CANADIAN BORDER.

Amid tweets about the truckers, Rae later retweeted comments by Francois-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s minister of innovation, science and industry, about an apt “60 Minutes” interview Sunday with Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. In the tweet, Champagne characterized Ukraine standing up to Russia as part of a “global struggle between democracies and authoritian regimes, between those who want to play by the rules and those who want to rewrite rules in their favour.”

Michael Kempa, an associate criminology professor at the University of Ottawa, told CBC News that he views the truckers’ anti-vaccine fight largely as cover for a deeply authoritarian movement funded by American and global interests out to undermine the rule of law and Canada’s government. Jason LaFace of Canada Unity, one of the organizers of the trucker protest, has called for the dissolution of Canada’s Parliament.

Canadian police on Friday used pepper spray and stun grenades to start clearing out the remaining trucks and truckers from downtown Ottawa. The Ambassador Bridge blockade was cleared a week ago, though authorities fear protesters will return. Right-wing websites are currently raising funds for similar protests in the U.S.

    The Pentagon has approved the deployment of 700 unarmed National Guard troops to the nation’s capital as it prepares for trucker convoys that are planning protests against pandemic restrictions beginning next week.

    Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the request Tuesday from the District of Columbia government and the U.S. Capitol Police, the Pentagon said in a statement Tuesday night.

    The troops would be used to assist with traffic control during demonstrations expected in the city in the coming days, the Pentagon said. Four hundred Guard members from the District of Columbia Guard will be joined by 300 Guard members from other states, according to the statement.

    Guard members will not carry firearms or take part in law enforcement or domestic-surveillance activities, the Pentagon said.
