Great Repression
All over the world we are seeing courageous individuals responding to The Great Reset with Great Resistance. We have seen Great Repression seeking to crush the Resistance, not only in Canada, but also in Australia, New Zealand, in Europe and the United States and in South Africa. What are the tools and tactics of tyrants? How can we best recognize, resist and respond to repression? “He is conceited…he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments that result in envy, quarreling, malicious talk, evil suspicions.” 1 Timothy 6:4.
Blame-shifting and Bullying
The tools of tyrants include: boycotts and blacklisting, blame shifting and bullying, censorship and character assassination, discrediting, demonizing, distracting, de-funding and de-platforming, excluding and economic warfare, fake news and false flags, gossip and gas-lighting, lies and libel, sanctions and slander, intimidation and interference, toxic terminology, threats and terrorism, propaganda and psychological warfare, revolution and repression. “While they promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of depravity…” 2 Peter 2:19
Repressive Rule
In Canada we have seen Justin Trudeau using all of these favorite tools of tyrants against those who disagree with him. After almost 2 years of repressive rule in which the state claimed the power to determine who could work, when they could work, how they could work, where they could work, what they needed to wear, whether they were allowed to worship or not, and even what chemicals had to be injected into their body, there was rising Resistance. Instead of responding to the growing outrage over government overreach and intrusion into the everyday lives of communities, congregations, families and individuals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doubled down with even more repressive rules crushing working class people such as the truckers. “Justice is turned back and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14
Gossip and Gas-lighting
When tens of thousands of people rose up in the Freedom Convoy to demand the end of medical tyranny, vaccine mandates and the masquerade madness, with hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country coming out in enthusiastic support for their initiative, Trudeau responded with one of the favorite tools of tyrants. He slandered the truckers and their supporters as: right wing extremists, racists, misogynists, white supremacists, science deniers and Nazis! “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil… Who justify the wicked for a bribe and take away justice from the righteous man!” Isaiah 5:20-23
Slander is the Tool of the Loser
As Socrates observed: “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would often repeat this quote when her opponents resorted to ad hominem arguments and slander. As in soccer, you’re meant to play the ball not the man. To kick a fellow player rather than the ball is to be guilty of a foul. In any debate, one should deal with the issue, not attack the individual with whom we are having the disagreement. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Character Assassination
Rather than addressing the issues being protested against by the Freedom Convoy, Justin Trudeau chose to character assassinate the protesters and then blame shifted by hypocritically accusing the truckers of interfering with the economy and people’s everyday lives! After two years of suffocating the economy and people’s everyday lives with the lockdown lunacy, masquerade madness, covid cult, salvation by vaccination mandates, it is incredible that Trudeau could have the audacity to blame the very people who were trying to open up the economy and bring freedom back to everyone’s daily lives, for the very policies he had been enforcing! “…’Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you.'” 2 Chronicles 19:2
Sanctions and Economic Warfare
Trudeau mobilized his minions to persuade go fund me to freeze the money raised to support the freedom convoy and then to prevent give send go from forwarding the funds raised for the protesters. Sanctions and economic warfare are popular tools of tyrants. “You shall not steal.”Exodus 10: 15
Communist Chinese Connection
Then we saw Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emulating the Communist Chinese dictatorship that he has expressed such admiration for. Declaring a state of emergency, he mobilized his police to bully and bludgeon the peaceful protesters in the streets of Ottawa, freeze their bank accounts, confiscate their vehicles, threaten to take away their children and place them under state-controlled welfare and have their pets assigned to shelters where they could be euthanized! Not content with arresting the peaceful protesters, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government were determined to destroy the lives of not only the protesters but also of those who supported them, even with small donations. “Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.” Isaiah 59:7
Harassment and Threats
The details of those who have given donations to the freedom convoy were published online leading to much harassment and threats being unleashed upon simple working class people and entrepreneurs. “You shall not covet … ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.” Romans 13:8-10
Pervasive Propaganda
All of this was made possible by the pervasive propaganda which demonized simple working class people who wanted their lives back. Fake news enabled Trudeau’s tyranny. False flags were also used to distract from the primary message of the thousands of truckers and hundreds of thousands of their supporters. Words were weaponized and terminology made toxic. Canadians were warned that the word Freedom is subversive and is code for white supremacy and right-wing extremism. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1
Using George Orwell’s 1984 as a Manual
It would appear that liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada has used George Orwell’s 1984 as a manual rather than recognizing it as a warning of tyrannical tools and tactics to be avoided. George Orwell warned of the dangers of totalitarian government and the subversion of language, where the Ministry of Truth (Minitruth) deals with lies and propaganda, demonizing the opponents of the state, making them unpersons/vaporizing them and ensuring that their message and identity disappear down the memory hole. The Ministry of plenty (miniplenty) deals with rationing and ensures starvation. The ministry of peace (Minipeace) deals with war and the ministry of love (Minilove) deals with torture to ensure subservience and obedience from the masses. “The way of peace they have not known and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace.” Isaiah 59:8.
Double Standards and Hypocrisy
In the name of democracy the peaceful protests of many tens of thousands of Canadians were suppressed. In the name of Law & Order, the rule of law was suspended and effective martial law enforced. Those who normally trumpet tolerance crushed dissent and outlawed freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, freedom of opinion and freedom of the press. Even journalists were warned not to cover the police actions and journalists were attacked and arrested. “Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16
