Uninformed = Unprepared
Legacy Media Misinformation Campaign puts all Canadians and Americans at risk as supply chain grinds to a halt.
This is a public service alert. Be informed, be prepared, be safe. ❤️
I wrote this for my home community of Vashon Island, in the Puget Sound, a short ferry ride away from Seattle, Tacoma and the Peninsula.
Like many of you, my community came together in 2020, with cooperation, courage, faith, hard work and endless volunteerism and charitable contributions.
Then, the Covid Injections were released upon the world, and my island shook and crumbled into broken, scattered pieces. Soon, our community was awash in dogma, social silencing, poison pens, medical coercion, government threats, malicious gossip, scapegoating, snitches, bigotry and a general collapse of communal ethics and respect.
Do I trust my island community? Not as much as I used to…not by a long shot. After decades of islanders scornfully shaking their heads at those who stood by, while their Japanese neighbors were carted off to internment camps, it has been a tremendous disappointment to watch them flip their own fear & bigotry switch. My trust has irrevocably shifted from one based on faith and hope, to a far more circumspect version of trust, jaundiced by experience.
How about you all? Did the events of 2021 surprise you? Am I naive, to expect people to maintain an even keel during a pandemic? I don’t believe so. I believe in expecting the best from my fellow humans, and so, I have high expectations of myself, as well.
Which is why, knowing what I know - and especially with Coutts Alberta being currently blocked - I couldn’t go to sleep tonight without trying to warn my community of what is coming.
Will they listen?
No clue, and definitely not my responsibility. We are not meant to control another person’s life, thoughts or their chosen pathway forward in the world. If I tried to do that, I would be just as mistaken as the dangerous few who believe they have a right to manipulate hundreds of millions.
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make ‘em drink.” How true that phrase has turned out to be, yes?
What we can do, is fill the bucket with fresh water, and so, I sent the below message to about 12 different island-related Facebook groups.
The introduction makes it clear that I perceive a clear and immediate threat to the security of my island community. I hope the moderators of these groups will allow my post.
Will I lose sleep over it? Nope.
Quite the opposite! I get a rush when I am smart enough to figure out my limitations. I think of it as the silver lining of humility.
Every time I rein in my expectations, to the realm of “what I can do versus what is beyond my sphere of influence,” there is a zing in my body. When I relinquish the ridiculous idea that I could have power and control over another person, a tremendous weight is lifted off my shoulders and I breathe easier. It doesn’t mean I stop trying, become passive and give up. No! It means I am spared the twisted anxiety that accompanies the illusion of control. That is a proverbial wall I do not want to bang my head against. Who would?
So, join me. Together, if we all reach out to those we know, groups we belong to, friends we haven’t seen in years and family; we will receive one almost-guaranteed blessing. A better night’s sleep, knowing we did what we could with the body, mind and soul we were born with.
Below is exactly what I wrote for my community. My hope is to catch people up, redirect people away from the Corporate Campaign of Lies, make a logical argument for preparation and accurately frame the positions taken by the Truckers Convoy in Canada.
Hopefully I wrote it well! But, I’m not gonna hold my breath, waiting for people to throw their blue pills into the trash anytime soon. And that, my friends, is the art of managing one’s expectations! We are most effective when we keep our equilibrium steady, our body healthy, our mind calm, our integrity intact and our heart warm and strong. ❤️
And now! Let us all raise the alarm, ring the bell, blow that Trucker’s air horn and ride through the countryside, like Paul Revere! At the very least, we’ll organize our thoughts and have on record our attempt (again) to open people’s eyes. Those who ignore us, should the standoff in Ottawa continue and the shelves grow empty, will have the opportunity to look back and see that we warned them.
Either way, the “attempt” is our responsibility, and the decision to listen? That is everyone else’s choice. ❤️
————————————
ALERT FOR ALL VASHON ISLANDERS.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE IMPACTED.
HERE IS INFORMATION.
PREPARE WELL.
First, the facts, to catch you up.
Second, the impact on Vashon.
Third, a call to check with neighbors & prepare.
👉 What exactly is going on?
(1) Roughly 10 days ago, a Convoy of Truckers organized in Canada. It began in British Columbia, was joined across the nation, and arrived over the weekend in Ottawa (approaching 100,000 Trucks + a vast fleet of supporters).
(2) Clearly Stated Unified Goal: Arrive in Ottawa and remain until ALL Mandates for ALL People are eliminated permanently.
(3) Ottawa Facts: according to Ottawa Police Chief, so far, after 4 days: 0 injuries, 0 deaths, 0 riots.
(4) Ottawa Facts: Plenty of supplies brought with the Convoy - adequate to remain a month, and locals are showing up with food, fuel and love. “Adopt a Trucker” has over 300+ Ottawa residents hosting truckers for meals, showers, a warm bed and laundry.
(5) Truckers Convoy is confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest convoy in history!
(6) Gathering is brilliantly Canadian! Tough people willing to endure intense cold stood in -30 and -40 degree weather, for hours, day and night, cheering on the Convoy, providing food and supplies, mechanics offered free services, and the MCP (national police) provided logistical support through cities and at truck stops, where needed.
(7) Peaceful, Respectful, Cheerful & Clean!
The Truckers are professional and extremely well-organized. The city is being cleaned up every evening, trash bagged, monuments protected and honored, etc. Participants are instantly responding to the rare instances of anger or disrespect, protecting this Movement for Love & Freedom.
(8) At last count, GoFundMe had received almost $10,000,000 with 114,000 individual donations. Purpose: Food, Fuel, Shelter for Trucker Convoy & leftover funds will go to Canadian Veterans. Accredited accountants and a legal team ensured GoFundMe’s requirements are met — this is legitimate — funds are not frozen — yes, you can donate.
(9) Truckers of every race and ethnicity, gender and creed, age and language, political leaning and personal medical philosophy are showing up. And, we will all be impacted, because everything we buy - begins and ends its trip on a truck. Without the truckers, nothing moves. They know this. Do you?
(10) The power of the Truckers Convoy for Freedom is threefold.
(10.1) Unity. The convoy roused the nation (and the world). The response of the Canadian people has demonstrated majority support for ALL mandates to be ended immediately.
(10.2) Presence. The truckers and thousands of supporters have filled the streets of Ottawa and the surrounding regions, and they’re not leaving until mandates are eliminated for all Canadians.
(10.3) Supply Chain. A majority of goods will be unable to leave, enter, or move throughout Canada.
(11) This brings us to Coutts, Alberta — just north of Helena, Montana. Canadian truckers have barricaded their side of the border crossing, as reported by the video linked to in this post.
Dear Residents of Vashon Island,
I know the statistics for Thriftway. They receive three truckloads, minimum, per week. We are looking at close to 50% reduction in trucking, in Canada alone — American Truckers are getting involved (over 600 headed for Canada last week), and there is talk of a Trucker Convoy for Freedom in the USA!
No matter what, it appears inevitable that the stores you depend upon will soon struggle to restock their shelves. Especially smaller, independent businesses, right?
IDEAS:
OFF-ISLAND: If you can get off the island, visit a Costco or a Trader Joe’s soon and stock up on necessities and shelf stable commodities. Please protect our local stores, and our community members who struggle to leave the island, by NOT over shopping on the island.
ANIMALS: If you have pets or livestock, it will not harm you to bulk up on feed. Again, aim for off island resources, in order to protect our on island supply as much as possible.
PAY ATTENTION: I hope you will turn off your TV and direct your attention to the people on the ground who provide excellent videos, interviews, close to real time reports, live streams and real, accurate news; from the people, by the people, for the people.
GOOD STARTING POINTS:
“Freedom Convoy 2022 Support” Facebook Group & this “on the ground” report from Coutts.
VITALLY IMPORTANT!!
👉👉 Do you know someone who is older or disabled or a parent of children? Contact them. Inform them.
👉👉 Is their pantry adequate for the next 6 to 8 weeks? If not, help them. Drive them to the store. Take them with you to Costco or Trader Joe’s.
👉👉 Ask if their gas tank is full? Help them fill their tank, because our gasoline also comes on a truck.
👉👉 Have a friend with diabetes? Call them directly. Do they have enough insulin? Help, as needed.
In closing, when the handful of people in positions of elected service and responsibility to the Canadian people choose to honor the will of the Canadian people & eliminate ALL mandates for ALL people, then the truckers will happily go back to work. No sooner.
In peace & solidarity.
Don't know what the update is w Freedom Convoy on Ottawah is exactly today, they have been using GiveSendGo not Go Fund Me which was frozen before the embarrassing Trudeau Fail.
Do know the USA version: https://thepeoplesconvoy.org Has watched and learned, is that all these truckers, every trucker is a warrior, a true warrior - using what they have to protect families and our most fundamental human rights.
They are our PEACEFUL WARRIORS
Support them - you may not have another chance.
They are a trojan horse turned against its designers. Designers who do not care about me or you, much less medical ethics or constitutional law.
<3 :)
