From Hidden Bunker, Justin Trudeau Warns Freedom Truckers that Crackdown Is Coming after Late Night Meeting
February 11, 2022

Well, we've made it through another week, we're closer to death now than we've ever been.  There are rumors of a crackdown on the Convoy.  I don't think sending men with guns to impose obedience on the masses will work.  Not that it would stop our masters, they'd probably enjoy it, but the people would resist even more.  It would sure have an effect on all the truckers that hadn't gotten involved yet, not to mention the rest of us.

We really need a specific explanation of why we'll have to wait another three weeks for the US convoy to start.  Why wait?

I'm not a trucker so I am ignorant, but what is specifically required to make this move?  Gasoline, definitely.  Food would help but you're probably not required to eat a specific amount every day and that's something that could be worked on in the process, your supporters providing you food.

A place to rest, definitely.  You can drive for a couple days without food if you absolutely have to, doing it without sleep is a horrible idea and doomed to failure.  I don't know how that can be taken care of.  Or maintenance, I have no idea how much your trucks require.  Maybe maintenance and rest can be done at the same places, like normal truck stops.

What else is specifically required?

Biden’s Brain Breaks During Interview with Lester Holt: “And There is No Way We Were Ever Going to Unite Ukraine…I Mean Excuse Me Iraq…Afghanistan”
February 11, 2022

Apparently Biden gave a horrible interview recently.  It would have been worse but he was talking to a suckup media figure who wouldn't ask any challenging questions.  I have to admit, I get the impression that whoever's making them do this is bragging about the results.  This is exactly what they wanted and they're enjoying every minute of it.

White House Tells Americans to Leave Ukraine ‘Immediately’
February 11, 2022

□ [“Trudeau Holds Panicked Press Conference, Blames Americans, Consequences to Joining Convoy 'To Get More Severe'"]

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking of when Nicolae Ceauşescu made a speech on December 21, 1989.  The communist dictator of Romania was not happy that his fellow communist dictators were leaving and needed to give a great speech about how powerful he was, how he'd stay in office for a long time and how anyone who disagreed would be punished.  He and his wife were shot a few days later.

At this point, I really don't care if it winds up like that.  I do wonder if the sudden turn-around by the Ontario Premier is just pretending to go along with the master, saying 'yes sir, right away' and then sitting back and doing nothing.  That's probably not it but it's nice to think so.

Still going through the 'History project,' I've only got about 3000 years left to get through.  Looking at ancient Egypt, I noticed that at its highest level, the pharaoh Amenhotep IV suddenly decided to rename himself Akhenaton and start a new religion, worshiping the sun god.  He also moved the capital to another city and, like many Egyptian rulers, married and/or impregnated close family members.

This 'sex with whoever you want' mentality is difficult to understand and there's probably a good reason for that.  But what I have to wonder is if this is directly connected to what's going on in the world today or if it's just coincidentally similar, that's always the direction these people go even if they think of the idea on their own.

His son would be the most famous pharaoh known today, King Tut.  Tutankhaten also renamed himself, Tutankhamun, but otherwise went back to the old ways.  He also married/impregnated his sister.

This has to have been part of Egyptian society, at least the higher ranks if not overall.  Maybe it was just showing how they were better than everybody else, maybe it was setting the example for others to follow.  We'll never know and that's probably a good thing.

But what we *should* look into is if this actually stopped.  A thousand years later, they'd still be into that, best known through the descendants of one of Alexander the Great's generals who got Egypt when the empire was split up.  You might know his name, Ptolemy.  His wife was Cleopatra.  Ring a bell now?

Of course the kids and grandkids kept the name so it was a few centuries of ruling Egypt before the ones we know became famous, the ones invaded by Julius Caesar and Elizabeth Taylor.  *That's* the sort of thing that makes be think there's some ancient conspiracy going on.  I haven't found a specific example of parents impregnating their kids but wouldn't be surprised if there are some and I take it as a given that they weren't that bothered by age.
