This slippery slope really started in the 1970's when the Neoliberals first gained acceptance with politicians and political advisors. Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and many other acolytes pushed policies that ushered in this ideology. The recent decades have seen a massive increase in Neoliberal control of almost every aspect of government. The only tool we have left is protest and they know it...
The trucker leading the press conference mentioned, said the lady was alive but he witnessed personally. Watch sit commanders video from about 0:51 to 1:22 for most info. YouTube still had a lot of this up.
So I’m not a huge “everything is theater” person, I tend to think the world is vastly more complicated (though manipulation of certain events is demonstrable). But the elderly lady who got trampled… HER NAME IS ROBERTA PAULSEN. At least that’s what I’m seeing reported through non-traditional sources. Feel like someone is being cute.
Since there is a complete media black out about this here in Sweden, people treat it as a conspiracy theory when they hear about it from others (like me).
"It can't be true. It must be fake. Stuff like that doesn't happen in Canada."
As if the world is a static set piece where certain events can only happen in certain places.
The lights are going out all over the western world.
Short version: most people see it as suspicious and duplicitous if someone looks for news outside official channels and regime-loyal media.
Longer ramble:
Ever since radio and then TV was invented, we've had a state monopoly until about 1987-1990, depending on where you make the cut off. So to about ½ of the swedish population, news and events are what is transmitted through state media or published in the regime-friendly press.
Sweden's been socialist-democrat since World War 2, it's just that it's been soft ball corporate socialism where the banking clans, the owner families (used to be 13 families who owned 90%+ of the private economy), the unions and the socialist democrat party all played nice together and for honesty's sake it must be said delivered the goods up until the tail end of the seventies. Much to the equal dismay of both communists and classical as well as neo-liberals and libertarians the system actually worked. For a good summary as understood by a foreigner, read Huntford's "The new totalitarians", it should be available for free, legally, on archive.org.
The rest of the population is either too young to care, or African/MENA migrants (about 2 000 000 out of 11 000 000 inhabitants, including more than 100 000 unregistred illegals) who generally don't bother to learn swedish and therefore don't know or care (they focus on TV from their home regions). Also, how to search for and vet information hasn't been taught in schools for some 15 years now; instead children are taught which "fact checkers" are credible and that if said fact checkers say something is bogus, that's that.
I'd guess, completely out of the blue, that at most 10% of the 18-65 span actively look for other news than what their software providers select for them.
And as 'bigfatpop' (great avatar by the way!) points out, for many it's willful ignorance. At best you're fobbed off with a "Ah well, everyone finds bliss in their own truth I guess" (the idiom doesn't translate all that well).
There was also video from rebel news of one of their reporters bein batoned and gassed . I think she was truly hurt, please don’t get me wrong and it’s still on the govt and police, and yes I definitely think she was targeted. But she’s also being a wee bit over dramatic. Sorry just my opinion. The elderly lady being trampled however, that’s totally on the police.
It wouldn't matter. I've tried it here in the states with responses like "what are they hoping to accomplish?" I'm disgusted with virtually everyone I know.
I was at a protest in the Panama Invasion days in San Francisco and two people away from me was Dolores Huerta of the UFW who was older and had an SFPD riot baton rupture her spleen. All protests are invitations for ultra-violence. A tactic from the times when protests were put down by soldiers and not para-military thugs or Pinkertons. Canada ensured her police like many police and militaries have Israeli training. https://bdscoalition.ca/tag/canadian-police-trained-by-israel/

M. Sim, do you have a link to video of the alleged trampling of protesters by mounted police?
The trucker leading the press conference mentioned, said the lady was alive but he witnessed personally. Watch sit commanders video from about 0:51 to 1:22 for most info. YouTube still had a lot of this up.
Slow your roll! I'm waiting until the press conference is over. :) But yes, the video is in the next post. :)

Hurry up, World!!

I just now sent the link on this post to multiple people. Watch the press conference from 0:51 to about 1:22 mark.
They can watch the livestreams just as easily as anybody else, right?

I've added the section of video that shows the gas. How can somebody watch this and think it's justified?

It's willful ignorance at this point. I've almost reached the mindset that as a species, we deserve what the elites are bringing.
But the existence of State-sponsored censorship, coupled with a compliant non-skeptical majority is M. Rikard's point, in his defense.
Yes, shove the livestreams in front of their faces.

Until Kent State reoccurs

But….but…but…Ukraine?!?
Of course it could and did happen here. We did have internment camps. And many fellow citizens were in complete accord with them.
this is how democracy dies, at the hands of order followers
And with thundrous applause from those who worship at the state's altar
