Danielle Smith spent years feeding separatist rhetoric inside the UCP nurturing anti-Ottawa anger to boost her own political brand. Now that Mark Carney and Smith are trying to push through a new pipeline deal, she’s facing backlash from within her own party. Why? Because the very anti-Canada sentiment she...

If you’re thinking about voting Conservative tomorrow, please watch this video first. Alberta is a warning sign, not a model to follow. Under Conservative #leadership, Alberta has been thrown into chaos — crumbling #healthcare, #skyrocketing #costs, cuts to education, and endless #scandals. Our once-strong economy is struggling because of short-sighted decisions, and regular people are the ones paying the price. Now imagine that same reckless, self-serving approach taking over the whole country. Do you really want Canada to suffer the same fate as #Alberta? Before you #cast your #ballot, ask yourself: do you want a #government that only listens to #billionaires, or one that actually cares about your family, your #health, and your #future? #Voting #Conservative means handing the keys to the same #people who have already proven they can’t be #trusted. #Canada deserves better.

Tamara Lich faces Ottawa court after challenging sentence conditions Challenges to Tamara Lich 🇨🇦's sentencing conditions will be heard today in court in Ottawa. I'm back in Ottawa today to follow the hearing for Tamara Lich's application to vary her sentence. And I will be live-posting updates on X throughout the day before bringing you a full recap of what the Crown prosecutor and Tamara Lich's lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, argue in court. On July 22, my boss, Ezra Levant 🍁🚛, was called to testify about the affidavit he submitted explaining why Tamara's conditions need to be reviewed so she can properly do her job. But instead of focusing on that, the Crown spent much of its time putting Rebel News on display, pulling up our website, revisiting previous interviews between Ezra and Tamara, and heavily focusing on Ezra's criticism of the court proceedings and rulings in Tamara's case. Tamara was sentenced in 2025 to an 18-month conditional sentence including house arrest, a curfew, and hundreds of hours of mandatory community service, on top of the 49 days she already spent behind bars. This is the longest prosecution for non-violent mischief in modern history. The trucker convoy was the most peaceful we have ever seen in Canada, with people from all walks of life coming together to demand their basic freedoms from Trudeau's authoritarian government. And yet, Tamara continues to pay the price. In my view, this is a political prosecution, an attempt to make an example out of her and send a warning to anyone willing to stand up to government overreach. It's shameful. Today, I'm proud to call Tamara Lich a colleague. She's doing an incredible job telling Canadians the stories the mainstream media too often ignores.

Majority of UCP voters support independence: poll She says she is a federalist. She is not campaigning for Alberta to leave Canada — she's been clear about that. But she is also not turning around and attacking the people who are talking about it. That is not an accident. One look at the numbers and you'll understand why Premier Danielle Smith is walking this line the way she is. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I am the point of contact for that third party advertiser, roughly 60% of United Conservative Party voters say they would vote to leave Canada. Not think about it. Not flirt with it. They would vote to leave. That is not fringe. That is the base. These are the people who built the party, who knocked on doors, who trusted conservative leadership to fight for Alberta. And that brings us to disgraced former UCP premier Jason Kenney, Smith's predecessor. Because he chose a very different path. He calls separatists names. He mocks them as kooks and radicals and crazies, in vicious Trudeau-esque internet tirades. He derided the very people who worked so hard to get him elected in the first place. People who gave him a chance to do it his way. And what did that approach deliver? Nothing tangible. No meaningful reset with Ottawa. No shift in the relationship. No results that matched the promises. So what happened? Those same voters started looking elsewhere. Not because they suddenly changed who they were, not because they are no longer Conservatives, but because they felt ignored, dismissed, and taken for granted. The old ways of strongly worded letters and lawsuits over jurisdiction have never worked. There are no pipelines, no control over immigration, no civil liberties the feds wouldn't crush if given a chance. Smith is not making that mistake. She is reading the room, and when this many people are this frustrated, you do not lecture them. You do not insult them. You do not pretend they are a problem to be managed or berated. You listen. You acknowledge where they are at, and you let the conversation happen. This is bigger than separation. This is about trust. Trust that Alberta’s concerns are being taken seriously. Trust that political leaders are actually hearing the people who put them in power. Smith holds her position. She says she believes Alberta is better off in Canada. But she is not trying to shut down the people who disagree. She is not attacking her own base, because she understands something her predecessor did not. You do not keep support by ridiculing the people who gave it to you. You respect them, let them speak, and you deal with reality as it is, not as you wish it would be. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

Tamara Lich returns to Ottawa for US ambassador's July 4 party On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 Show, Freedom Convoy organizer and Rebel News journalist Tamara Lich 🇨🇦 discussed her experience at the US ambassador's July 4 celebration in Ottawa. Lich attended the event at the ambassador's residence alongside Rebel News CEO Ezra Levant, Director of Production Efrain Monsanto, and Journalist Alexa Lavoie. The July 4 celebration saw hundreds of business leaders, politicians, journalists, and other guests converge in Ottawa's Rockliffe Park to mark America's 250th anniversary. Lich commented on the backlash from some users on social media regarding her attendance at the event. "I think there's a lot of people out there that would rather I was miserable and broken and just demoralized by this whole thing," she said. "But I think you know me well enough by now Ezra to know that I make the most of every situation I'm in, I keep a positive attitude, and I believe we're still going to come out on top in all this," Lich continued. Guests enjoyed fireworks, live music, and a flyover by U.S. F-35 fighter jets as part of the landmark 250th anniversary celebrations. The event drew hundreds despite earlier speculation about lower turnout due to summer scheduling conflicts. Ambassador Hoekstra addressed the crowd, emphasizing strong U.S.-Canada ties while touching on ongoing bilateral issues like trade and infrastructure. Lich described the evening as an honour, noting the opportunity to personally thank the ambassador and American supporters for their backing during the Freedom Convoy.

NATIONAL ADDRESS ON THE ECONOMY... 🇨🇦 🟥 There’s a reason that Mark Carney is one of the most respected leaders in the world. His leadership skills, wisdom and economics acumen are widely sought out. His schedule at global conferences is always PACKED, as political and business leaders queue up for a few minutes of one-on-one time, to pick his brain on various current and future global issues. WE are so fortunate to have him as our Prime Minister. The right leader, at the absolute right time. 👌🏼 And here, in his latest detailed statement to Canadians 🎞️, the wisdom is on FULL DISPLAY as he lays out the FACTS of where we are as a nation, and the STRATEGY he has created to navigate Canada through these precarious times, so that when the dust settles, we are strong, sovereign, and prosperous. 🍁✅ 🔳 PRIME MINISTER CARNEY: “We have to take care of ourselves because we can't rely on one foreign partner. We can't control the disruption coming from our neighbours. We can't bet our future on the hope that it will suddenly stop. But we can control what happens here. We can build a stronger country that can withstand disruptions from abroad. That creates good jobs here at home. That's a leader in this new world with a vast network of reliable allies. That's the Canada Strong plan we're putting into action. Its goals are ambitious: to catalyze one trillion dollars in investment, to create one Canadian economy out of thirteen, to build new trade and energy corridors, and to double the size of our clean energy capacity. Yes, that's ambitious. But in a crisis, fortune favours the bold. And there's comfort and confidence to be found in our country's history. After all, our ancestors built an improbable country in an inhospitable land where people were free to live their own lives.”

Tim Hortons employee punched by her supervisor and forced to leak through pants while menstruating Tim Hortons corporate claims it “never knew,” but a 22-year-old worker in Havelock, Ontario, says she was beaten, humiliated, and denied basic human needs on the job. Madison, who says she openly disclosed her learning disability on her resume and has difficulty multitasking, was punched in the arm four times by a supervisor identified as Amonjot. “My one supervisor, she punched me in the arm four times because people kept coming in through drive-thru to order things,” Madison said. “I asked her why she punched me, and she said it was out of rage.” The assault left bruises, and when Madison reported it to owner Stephan and warned she would press charges if it happened again, he threatened her with termination because management “needs” the supervisor, according to a detailed May email from her mother. Madison’s mother described the Havelock location as “disgustingly run,” accusing Stephan of prioritizing money over employees, allowing supervisors to yell at staff in front of customers, cutting hours as punishment, and ignoring health and safety complaints that were not issues under the previous owner. In one instance, Madison’s hours were slashed from 25–28 per week to just 7–11 after she tried to self-advocate. Even more disturbing is the repeated denial of bathroom access. While menstruating, Madison asked to use the restroom. “I was menstruating, and I told him I need to go to the bathroom. He said that I can wait,” she recalled. “I leaked through my pants, everything, and he wouldn’t let me go home. Not even to change, because I had to finish my shift.” On another occasion she warned a supervisor: “I’m going to the bathroom now or else I’m just going to wet myself. And then you’ll have to send me home because I’m not working in it.” Tim Hortons head office, responding to detailed questions about the allegations of physical assault, verbal abuse, bathroom denial and retaliation, claimed this was the “first time” they had “learned of this.” The company stated the punching incident was “addressed the same day,” that no one is aware of any bathroom restrictions, and that requests to leave shifts early for health reasons are always honoured. Though Madison continues to work at the location, she was visibly terrified when I first spoke to her on her way to work earlier this month. Management immediately questioned her about what she had said to me and warned her not to speak to media. She admitted then, and confirmed again now, that she had stayed silent out of fear of being fired on the spot. Head office later accused me of forcing Madison to speak by blocking her on the sidewalk and refusing to let her by. The response focused on defending corporate image rather than protecting a vulnerable employee with a disclosed disability. Madison said she would not have come forward without external support because she feared losing her only job in a town with few options. “I’d be afraid of losing my job,” she stated plainly. Through the Help Madison campaign, funds are being raised via GiveSendGo to replace any potential lost income she may suffer as a result of her whistleblowing, provide free legal defence if retaliation escalates, and connect her with employers who will treat her with basic dignity. Madison hopes her decision to speak out will ultimately encourage others and let them know that they’re not alone. “I’m hoping to help others… and maybe it will help other people get out of the bad situation that they are in,” she said. A young woman with a learning disability was punched, humiliated, and denied bathroom access while bleeding through her clothes. Tim Hortons says it does not tolerate abusive behaviour, yet Madison’s account, backed by her mother’s complaints and visible injuries, tells a different story. Here is how Rebel News is helping — and how you can too: 1. Help Madison — Give what you can directly to Madison through GiveSendGo. Your support will show her that she is not alone, that whistleblowers deserve protection, and that vulnerable workers deserve dignity. 2. Donate to Madison's legal fund — If the bullying escalates, we want Madison to have access to a top-notch employment lawyer at no cost to her. Your donation makes that possible. 3. Sign the pledge to boycott Tim Hortons — Send a clear message to Tim Hortons that Canadians will not stand by while vulnerable workers are abused, silenced, and discarded.

📢 Tamara Lich is under house arrest — so how did we just hire her at Rebel News? Just a few days ago, Tamara Lich 🇨🇦 took her first trip to our Rebel News office as our newest employee! I was there in an Ottawa courtroom when Tamara Lich, the leader of the trucker convoy, was sentenced to a year under house arrest. She’s only allowed to leave her home for medical appointments and church, and a few hours a week to buy groceries. She’s not allowed to go out for dinner or visit friends or even go for a walk. It’s atrocious. But there is another exception: she can leave her home for work. That got me thinking. Tamara has worked with Rebel News before — speaking at our events across Canada, coming on our TV shows and even going on a multi-city book tour to promote her best-selling autobiography. So, with the guidance of Tamara's lawyer, I offered her a formal job. And I sent the job offer to her probation officer, and phoned the probation officer and walked her through it, line by line — including the parts about Tamara travelling. And to my relief, she approved it! So just a few days ago, Tamara took her first trip to our Rebel News office as our newest employee! Obviously it’s a pain in the neck to have to check in with the probation officer every time Tamara travels, and have each trip approved. But if we carefully follow the rules, we will be able to make this work. To me, the most important part of Tamara's job will be our upcoming campus tour, where Tamara will go town by town, like Charlie Kirk did, talking to young people about freedom and hope. She is such a good role model and such a positive person, I truly think she’ll help us win the battle of ideas with young people. But I mentioned Charlie Kirk. And we know about the horrific attack on him that claimed his life. Unfortunately, Canada has seen increasing violence, too, including from Antifa thugs and pro-Hamas extremists. Just last week, a conservative professor, Frances Widdowson, was mobbed by left-wing extremists at the University of Victoria, and police did nothing to protect her. We simply can’t have that happen to our Tamara. So I’ve promised Tamara that we will protect her. We will have professional security guards with her when she goes out in public to do journalism. And when she goes on campus, we’ll have at least four guards assigned just to protect her personally, and more to secure the larger venue. It’s outrageous that police and campus security won’t protect conservatives. No other journalists or activists in Canada have to hire private security guards to keep them safe. At Rebel News, it’s actually one of our largest expenses. It’s unfair, but that’s the world we live in. Will you help me keep Tamara safe on her speaking tour? We’ve set up a website where we’re going to put all of Tamara’s work. Her books, her videos, her podcasts, her news reports. We’ll put her speaking schedule there when it’s firmed up. I get the feeling it’s going to be a very popular website. And at that same place, we have a donation button, dedicated to Tamara’s safety and security. Rebel News crowdfunded her security for her trial, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars. If we put her on a ten-city campus speaking tour, it could well be much higher. But we’re going to do it, because we don’t back down to bullies on the left. I spoke with Tamara and we’re going to have a special plaque made with the names of anyone who donates $250 or more to protect her. We’ll present that plaque to Tamara, and we’ll hang it in our boardroom at Rebel News. And Tamara has offered to personally telephone anyone who chips in $1,000 or more to her security budget. That is so amazing, and it shows her true nature — grateful, humble, and not afraid of hard work. Tamara Lich is one of the finest people I've ever met in my life. It has been an honour to crowdfund her legal fees and her security costs these past two years. And when I heard her atrocious sentence I thought, “we’ve got to find a way to keep her active in the world.” By carefully following the law and reporting to the probation officer, we can make this work. Tamara wins, and Canada wins — and in the meantime, we’ll let the lawyers appeal her conviction. If you’re as excited as I am about Tamara’s new role with us, please help me keep her safe. Go to and chip in for her security detail. And remember: any contributor of $250 or more gets your name on the plaque permanently hung on our office wall. And a contribution of $1,000 or more gets a personal phone call from Tamara herself! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about all this. Maybe 2026 won’t be so bad after all! Tamara has worked with us before — her book tour was an amazing experience. She truly loves to meet with supporters. Let’s do that again, on Canadian campuses! I would never forgive myself if I let someone harm her. That’s why we crowdfunded a security guard to walk with her each day to her trial in Ottawa. And that’s why we need to crowdfund security for this campus trip. Please click here to help, if you can. If you’re in a position to give $250 or $1,000 please do. For $250 we’ll put your name on a special plaque, and for $1,000 we’ll have Tamara personally call you! (She’s great.)

Crown's case against Tamara Lich rests on 'mean' tweets Tamara Lich 🇨🇦's case was being heard again in an Ottawa courtroom on Wednesday, where she was seeking a variation to her bail conditions. Specifically, Tamara was seeking more freedom to travel across Canada and into the United States to continue her journalism work for Rebel News. Rebel News boss Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 filed an affidavit in support of the application and was cross-examined by the Crown prosecutor on the stand as part of the hearing. What followed, Ezra reported on Wednesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, was a hearing that had almost nothing to do with Tamara Lich. "I would say 90 to 95% of the prosecutor's content today was about me and my views and Rebel News," he said on Wednesday night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show. The Crown dug up his past social media criticism of the presiding judge — including tweets calling the trial a "circus," describing the judge as "gross," calling it an "inside job," and using the nickname "Karen." The prosecutor also walked through Rebel News's online merchandise store, pointing to a shirt reading "Convicted of Freedom." "The prosecution thought that was so important and so relevant to whether or not Tamara could travel," he said drily. Rebel News reporter Alexandra Lavoie, who was in the gallery live tweeting the hearing while Ezra was on the stand, said the Crown's approach seemed deliberate. "It seems like it's working," she said, noting the judge made an audible exasperated sound at one point and overruled an objection by Lich's lawyer Lawrence Greenspon to the admission of the tweets. Ezra said the Crown's strategy is transparent: get the judge angry enough at him that she takes it out on Lich. "The prosecution is counting on an emotional reaction," he said. "That the judge is just so mad at me and Rebel News, she somehow takes that out on Tamara Lich." He acknowledged his tweets were sharp but maintained they are entirely irrelevant to the question before the court, which is whether Lich, who has been 100% compliant with every condition of her sentence according to her parole officer, should be allowed to travel for work. "It's completely irrelevant," he said, "but that's the prosecution's play." A second hearing is scheduled for August 14, where both sides will make arguments. The Crown is also separately appealing Lich's sentence, seeking a harsher outcome for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest. Rebel News and The Democracy Fund crowdfunded her legal defence throughout the trial, which became the longest mischief trial in Canadian history. To support Tamara Lich, visit

The following is a message from Diana Bloom, an anonymous Iranian activist living in Germany who is being threatened with potentially extremely dangerous "exposure" by what appears to be a lunatic. I am passing this message on since Diana has deleted her account for her own protection and safety. To note, I don't think I should be involved with this crazy Evil Evi woman or her OSINT dramas whatsoever since she went bonkers the other day, but she is acting in defamatory ways and with malicious recklessness in a way that endanger an anonymous Iranian dissident I believe to be good, so I must pass this along. A MESSAGE FROM DIANA BLOOM This is a post in two parts. Part one is a brief summary of what has happened so far. Part two addresses the defamatory claims being made about me. PART 1 - [JL: Diana's explanation and responses] For everyone who doesn’t understand what led to this point, here’s the shortest summary possible: Evi [Kokalari] and I had been friendly in DMs since the end of June. She messaged me first. After [DataRepublican] published her piece on the State Department, I asked Evi not to go too hard against DR. Evi did anyway, and James Lindsay defended DR. I didn’t like the way Evi went after James, including citing Milo. So I unfollowed and removed Evi. She confronted me in DMs, and I explained why. Evi then made a post attacking James that started and ended with me and used my profile picture. I responded once, as politely as I could. Evi then repeatedly threatened to dox me, so I deactivated my account. Now, regarding the substance of the accusations she has made so far: 1. I am not a man. My name is not Derek. 2. I am Iranian. 3. I do know stuff about American politics because (and that is the boring truth) German television is really bad. So I’ve only watched English/American stuff for the past, I don’t know, 15 years, podcasts, late night shows, etc. I didn’t think about it, I just did. Little did I know that that would give me an understanding of the inner dynamics of what’s going on within the Republican Party that would tie back to the Iranian people’s cause in 2026. Believe me, I’m still baffled by it whenever I pause to think about it. But that’s the truth, and here we are. 4. I am not in the United States. I shared a blog, and the provider of that blog (a big, common one) is in the United States. My VPN location is sometimes in the United States. Not me. 5. I am not responsible for the content of people defending me. I have no control over it. It’s not my content, and I keep my distance whenever I see problematic stuff. Many accounts defended me, but going to look for one that has done/said problematic stuff to tie it back to me is not right or fair. I am not responsible. I have nothing to do with it. 6. I wanted to help DR because Evi was threatening to go after her hard, and I didn’t think DR deserved that. I meant no harm, I wanted to help. I made a mistake, and I regret it now, but my intention wasn’t bad at that moment in time. 7. Evi herself was the first to come into my DMs and tell me not to fight with an account named Stephanie. So I did Evi that favor. Meaning: Evi came into my DMs first and tried to calm down a public disagreement between me and someone else. When I did this in defense of DR, I did the same thing Evi had done before. I would never think to accuse Evi of restricting my right to free speech because of it. 8. Publishing private DMs from someone without their permission is wrong. It is something both Evi and Stephanie have now done. Both have shared private messages from me without my permission. 9. Part of Evi’s “sources” seem to be Azi Yazdi (granddaughter of Khomeini’s first foreign minister), Benji, and Nima Yamini, as well as his ghost accounts (I have blocked multiple of them by now). If you know any of them, you know this is insane. None of them are reliable. It’s like using Milo as a source against James Lindsay. This is not about truth but about a (malicious) takedown to silence me and get me out of the way. 10. Evi has threatened to dox me (there is no doubt) multiple times, and she keeps going after me. This puts my life and my family’s lives in Iran in real danger, but she doesn’t care. She keeps going, and I can’t stop her. She keeps putting out one lie after another, and it traps me in a forever loop of defending myself. If I don’t respond to more and more accusations from her against me, rest assured, my silence should never be taken as agreement with the lies she puts out there. Be sure there is always context, a counterargument, counterevidence, etc., that would show that none of what she shares is fair or true. But it’s a forever war that is meant to drain me. So me not commenting on her stuff moving forward is never, ever, ever an admission that she is right about something. It’s just a rejection of playing a game I cannot win. To ALL the people who wrote/shared one or multiple posts and comments in my defense: Thank you very, very, very much. I’ve seen it, and I am grateful. But I think it’s best for my own and my family’s safety, as well as for the whole situation, that I step away and stay away from X. I hope that’s understandable. And Evi, for the last time: if you are not malicious, please just stop. Let me out of this. I am not your target. Just leave me and, through doxxing/"exposing", my family out of it moving forward. I beg of you, please. PART 2 - proof - [JL: The following are direct quotes from Evi indicating her intention to "expose" Diana, which she tries to claim is different than "doxxing," though for all practical purposes the effect will be the same and this is a distinction without a difference. The video below shows all of these quotes from her own posts.] 1. “I’m getting enough information on her from her own community. I may share it…” 2. “Either log back in with your real name, or I will start exposing you. And trust me, you will not like that.” 3. “So stop provoking me. If you continue, I will look much deeper into who you are and what your actual role is behind this anonymous account.” 4. “You know what...WAR IT IS. I will start with Diana!! STAY TUNED” 5. “So I will take those words seriously and dig as deep as I can” 6. “The identities of the "Iranian activists" would never have been called into question had they not attacked my right to freedom of speech in my own country.” 7. Someone: “She deleted her account because she’s concerned for her safety and the safety of her relatives in Iran your threats to dox her” Evi: “She should be...but if she turns out to be clean, I shall protect her identity. But trust me, she is not who she claims to be” 8. “Last I checked, Support on X is against fake accounts. Why are we being threatened for wanting to know the true identity of certain accounts…” 9. “Do you think I know who Diana bloom is? No but I need to find out at this point” 10. “... because I asked one of their group operatives from Germany to debate me using her/his true identity, or I would expose who’s behind the account.” 11. “So I don’t know what you’re all thinking, but this isn’t simply about Diana being scared of the IRGC in Iran. The IRGC has been significantly weakened and has plenty of other things to worry about. There are thousands of Iranian accounts fighting for Iran’s freedom under their own names while still having family members back in Iran. At this point, I think people have every right to ask who is actually behind these anonymous accounts… After a few more new posts on her feed, I was forced to tell her to either come back on X and do this under her real name, or I would expose who she was, so at least we would be having this discussion on equal grounds.” 12. “Don’t freaking interfere with other people’s business like that retard did and no one comes after you. So go ahead down and sue me and I will push harder to expose her and you and anyone else…” MY OWN [JL's] COMMENTS, which Diana has nothing to do with and doesn't know I'm appending here. I now believe Evi is likely to be a malignant narcissist who is incapable of admitting that she is wrong. She will not stop in her behavior, and she will aim to harm anyone who attempts to intervene. I do not recommend you do this. I recommend you mark, avoid, and block. Fighting with her will only fuel her because she simply cannot admit that she's wrong about all of this and can only double down in increasingly insane, dangerous, and reckless ways, including toward Diana and her safety. She believes everything she sees that's trying to talk sense into her about any of this is part of an elaborate "op" that "disrespects her free speech" (which isn't a thing, by the way). No one is silencing her. People are just trying to talk sense into her to stop spreading defamation and reckless "exposure" of people who she will put at risk with it and who do not in any way deserve it, people she considered friends and allies until literally four days ago when she suddenly blew up. Therefore, not only is her reckless belief hermetically sealed against any disagreement, she turns any disagreement into proof of allegedly coordinated attacks against her from a network that simply doesn't exist. As a response, in her malignancy, she is threatening to damage, "expose," or otherwise reputationally harm anyone who even tries politely to talk sense into her, much less to disagree with her or oppose her. I strongly recommend everyone realize what they're getting into if they work with or ally themselves with this crazy woman going forward. You do so at your own risk. I can attest from watching her over the last few days that her research abilities, at least when agitated, are so sloppy as to be beyond worthless, even dangerous. The post I'm quoting below is proof of that. She's trying to prove Diana is secretly an American because she's too sloppy and stupid to realize that a Wordpress domain has an American location. She isn't doing research in good faith or with fidelity on this issue, or about me. She is looking for any information she can to hurt people who have upset her. In fact, she is presently being sued for defamation by an Albanian singer (Evi is an Albanian immigrant to the United States and a U.S. citizen for at least a couple decades), so we might recognize this bad behavior and poor praxis as a pattern with her. I can provide just from the last few days, as can others, much evidence that she's simply grasping at the nastiest straws she can find to try to harm people she has suddenly decided are her opponents because of her jealous outburst at DataRepublican and her narcissistic injury at being called on it. The sloppiness and outright retardation of her "fact" finding and "analysis" are so shocking that it's hard not to laugh even given how horrifically dangerous it is. We can therefore infer this sloppiness, recklessness, and malice-when-opposed to be at least partially true of her other "research" against her other targets, by extension. That's a shame because many of those targets are worthy of real scrutiny, which she is undermining with her loose cannon. Therefore, I insist her OSINT "research" is at best worthless and at worst maliciously harmful. In either case, it cannot be engaged by people who want to make a positive difference in the world, so mark and avoid. Evi seems good at making connections. She was quite positively in my own DMs for a while, trying to find ways to work productively together, even suggesting we start an alternative to CPAC (lol). She appears to be friends with both Eric Trump and Don Jr., though the relationship with the former appears to be more solid. She seems to have worked behind the scenes with a lot of relatively prominent Republican groups. I find all of this incredibly concerning after the events of this week, even though I wouldn't have beforehand. My own assessment from this stupid and nasty drama is that Evi's primary motivation is that she is pathologically envious of DataRepublican and her influence, likely believing it should be her in DataRepublican's place. As we can see, she isn't nearly careful or accurate enough for that. Mark and avoid. Further, though, while DataRepublican has no driving interest to be who or what she is and is doing it in service to the best of her abilities (which are considerable but still limited and imperfect as are anyone's), Evi appears to covet the role, which she has demonstrated she cannot possibly handle responsibly. Again, mark and avoid. Block if you will. I will not unblock her for this post or in the future. You can think of that whatever you want. I will rarely, almost never, say anything about her except in the defense of others she is wantonly and recklessly attacking. I will NEVER interact with her directly again, no arguments, no back and forth, no dunks, nothing. My involvement here is pure exposure and nothing else. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Analyzing Episode 60. Season 2 aka Motherhood Deconstructed I want to start this analysis with a disclaimer that I'll be writing about that kiss separately, because really, it deserves a post of its own. I'll talk about it here briefly, but this analysis will stick to the overall events of ep 60. To me, the main theme of this episode was motherhood. Be it Alya, Nare, Zerrin, Sadakat, and yes, even the dishrag. We see how these different women strive, suffer, and never stop trying to keep their children with them, all except one. So, let's begin. We start episode 60 with Alya and Cihan awaiting to conduct a DNA test on baby Simal, whom Kaya insists is his child. Long story short, Kaya is feeling a little pissed about Zerrin keeping the truth of Simal from him, and he has a point. But then, it's not like Zerrin has had a jolly good time pretending to play house with a creep like Demir. The only reason she relents is to keep her baby safe. So, it's a catch-22 situation, where both sides are right and wrong. But, it's not like we don't know these two will make up soon. What stood out to me in that sequence was Alya taking charge of ensuring Zerrin has access to her baby. She knows exactly what it is to be separated from one's child, and she's kind and brave enough to refuse to let anyone suffer through the same. So, in a way, Alya's motherhood doesn't just extend to Deniz. It encompasses her to the point where she shields all those she feels need protection. I also like the fact that she's taken Zerrin under her wing, because when the latter moves into the konak with Sadakat, she'll need all the help she can get. The next sequence begins at the hospital, where Nare is still hell-bent on continuing with the pregnancy, though at great risk to her life. This is another glimpse of motherhood the show gives us - in the shape of a woman who is so in love with her unborn child already, she's willing to risk death to bring it into the world. Contrasted to that is Sadakat, who's willing to lie or cheat to keep her daughter alive. Here is a ruthless kind of motherhood. Sadakat's love (if you can call it that) has always been wrapped in control, manipulation, and fear. But, still at the center of all her ugliness is a woman who doesn't want to lose her children. Nare is willing to die for her child, Sadakat is willing to kill Nare's child to ensure she lives - quite the compelling contrast. Different forms of motherhood, but both rooted in desperation. In the middle of all that, Meryem pops up like a bad penny. But even as she arrives in that room and Sadakat wants to keep her there, the awkward silence that envelops the space as she lingers is telling. She doesn't belong, it seems to say. But, there's another person who's starting to question their 'belonging' in this new version of the past that's come back - and of course, that's Alya. The more she sees Meryem infiltrate parts of her life beyond the konak, the more her exposed nerves are rubbed raw. This woman is so close to complete and utter exhaustion, it's heartbreaking. What's even more heartbreaking is that while she tries to be there for everyone, she herself cuts everyone off when she feels troubled. And that, to me, is where the episode quietly portrays the emotional labor aspect of being a mom. Alya mothers everyone around her. Nare, Zerrin, Kaya, and Deniz. Even Cihan at times. She absorbs pain, tries to stem chaos, protects others from falling apart, yet when it comes to her own fears and insecurities, she retreats inward completely. It's almost as if she believes she only deserves to be the shelter, never the one allowed to seek sanctuary. Because children who grow up thinking they've been abandoned grow up thinking love is a thing to be earned through caring or usefulness. So, instead of asking for comfort, they always end up providing it. But humans, even the strongest of the strong, have their limits. And, it's so clear that Alya is close to reaching hers. So, when Cihan is forced to relent and allow Mujgan and her son to the konak because Deniz wants it, Alya does what she does best - she withdraws and leaves the source of discomfort. That's why she tells Cihan she hates going to the konak now because every time she goes there, the spectre of Meryem and what she can snatch away becomes unavoidable. And, as blind as Cihan can be at times, he picks up on that. He knows exactly what she's trying to do, which is why he tries to redirect her attention to the fact that he hates going to the konak without Alya around, too. He wants to be wherever Alya is. In his own way, he's trying to tell her it doesn't matter who stays at that house; it's only home to Cihan when Alya is around. His words reach Alya, which is why she relents and visits the konak for a few hours, but then shit hits the fan again. We'll get to that, but first, let's talk about Meryem. Meryem's scene in the hospital with Mujgan reveals Meryem saying she can't tell Cihan about Serhat because she's not sure who the father is, and that she'd rather live in the hope that Serhat is the son of the man she loves, bla blah. Now, go back and think of all the versions of motherhood we've seen in this series, and indeed this episode. They all have one thing in common - that all the mothers did whatever they had to, and bore whatever came their way to ensure their babies stayed with them. No matter how much Alya, Zerrin, or Nare love their better halves, when push came to shove, they put their children first. Even Sadakat married Azem for Boran. All except one. Meryem. Meryem sent her son away and made it look like he was Mujgan's child, thereby erasing all his links to her. One could argue it was because she feared Feyyaz. But what's stopping her now? Let's assume what Meryem says is right and there's a 50 percent chance Serhat is Cihan's son. For a mother desperate to save her child from danger, those are pretty good odds, so why avoid the DNA test? Suppose Serhat turns out to be Feyyaz's son; even so, if she comes clean with Cihan, she knows he's the kind to help her, even if just to keep an innocent child safe. So, her version of motherhood sticks out like a sore thumb in the episode. In contrast, I found Alya's line, 'When it comes to my son, I put him before everything and everyone else,' much more fitting with the theme. Mothers on the defensive, who feel there's a threat to their child's wellbeing, will relent to even the most extreme measure - even if it tears their own being apart. Alya hates being away from Cihan. She hates that distance she imposes between them as much as Cihan, but she can't help it. Because the mother in her won't let her choose anything else. Which is why I say Serhat is almost like an afterthought to Meryem because his needs are never the focus. And I get the feeling that whatever Meryem is trying to hide threatens not her son, but likely the version of herself she's presented to the world. Even when I rewatched the kite flying scene, the way the camera pans into Serhat only once, but mostly focuses on Cihan and Alya after showing us Meryem is telling. Like this is a woman not going through hell because of her child, but because she's looking at a structure of acceptance she's no longer able to enter. Life at the konak, Cihan's family unit, his love for Alya and Deniz - it's everything that could have been hers once, but no longer. No matter how she tries, she no longer fits. And honestly, that’s why that sense of not belonging is even more overt in an episode about motherhood. Every other mother in this episode becomes messy because of love for their child. Nare breaks down. Zerrin panics. Sadakat manipulates openly. Alya practically emotionally disintegrates trying to hold everything together. Their feelings spill all over the place because motherhood, especially threatened motherhood, breaks people down. But Meryem remains oddly stoic throughout it all, except for a few tears. She's mostly careful and controlled, and always aware of who's watching her. Going back to the point of shit hitting the fan, when Alya discovers Meryem and Mujgan in Cihan's room, she doesn't buy Meryem's story for a bit. When Cihan tries to calm the situation, she dismantles the sorry excuse Meryem gives with two questions. In other words, her spidey senses pick up trouble, but she keeps it locked in because she doesn't want to appear as the jealous, unreasonable wife. But things come to a head anyway when Feyyaz cuts Cihan and Alya off on the road. Cihan seems to finally realize exactly the kind of trouble Meryem has unleashed in their lives when Feyyaz keeps eyeing Alya. Because to Feyyaz's psychotic mind, Cihan is keeping Meryem away from him, which makes Alya fair game. But when Cihan insists Alya return to the konak, Alya flat out refuses, and all the pressure that's been building inside her gets directed at Cihan. She knows deep down he's not at fault, but the fact that he's jumped into another situation without thinking of the danger, grates on her nerves. Which is why her default setting kicks in; she demands that Cihan bring Deniz to her and leave the apartment. Cihan, who is already reeling from Alya pulling back from him and the reality of Feyyaz targeting the only thing he truly holds dear, is desperate to stop Alya's isolation before she decides he's not worth all the misery she's suffering, and does what's worked for him once before in a desperate situation (the airport, anyone?). He forgets everything, pulls Alya in, and kisses the breath out of her. And, it works too, because for that moment, Alya stops spiraling long enough to simply feel. To stop calculating danger or bracing for abandonment. She feels loved and safe in Cihan's arms again. That's what makes that kiss so powerful. It isn't just the passion. It's the desperation behind it, on both sides. Cihan isn't kissing Alya because he wants to win an argument. He's kissing her because he's terrified, and he misses her. He's worried that if she keeps retreating inward, one day she'll retreat so far he won't be able to reach her anymore. Worried that all the fear, exhaustion, and pressure she's carrying will eventually make her decide loving him isn't worth the cost. And Alya responds because beneath all her anger, fear, and exhaustion, she loves him just as desperately. That's the irony of CihAl this season. They're not going to pieces because the love is weakening. They're going to pieces because the love has become so enormous that losing it feels catastrophic to both of them. To conclude, everything within ep 60, including the kiss, works so beautifully because technically everyone is unraveling. Every woman in this episode is fighting to protect something she loves, but the ways they do so reveal who they are at their core. Alya protects by sacrificing parts of herself. Nare protects by risking herself. Sadakat protects by controlling others. Zerrin protects by enduring humiliation. And Meryem... Meryem protects the narratives she builds. Her emotions, while visible, don't land with impact, almost as if they're missing a core ingredient. On the opposite end of the spectrum lie CihAl, whose love strips them bare, only for them to realize that retreat is no option. The only way forward for them is through - through fear, through exhaustion, through jealousy, through danger, and through every ugly and painful thing that loving someone this deeply awakens inside them. Because CihAl are incapable of loving each other halfway. Their love keeps dragging every hidden wound, every insecurity, every instinct to the surface until there is nowhere left to hide. And maybe that’s the real contrast episode 60 quietly builds toward: one side clinging to carefully maintained facades, the other being emotionally dismantled by a love too raw and overwhelming to remain controlled. Till later, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

WATCH: Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 just sued Mark Carney and his Dirty Tricksters! Mark Carney keeps getting away with things. Because really, who’s going to hold him to account — the mainstream media? Elections Canada? Do you remember the recent “Buttongate” scandal? Mark Carney’s dirty tricks team planted a bunch of Donald Trump-style campaign buttons at a Conservative conference. The idea was to trick the media into believing that Pierre Poilievre was just a lackey for Trump, who even copied Trump’s campaign slogans. That was Carney’s message all week: Poilievre couldn’t be trusted to defend against Trump’s trade war. Some of the fake buttons said “Lock Justin Up”, some said “Stop the Steal”. And one said “Make Canada Great Again.” Personally, I find those sentiments fairly reasonable. But the problem is, the Liberals were trying to commit a kind of fraud, to make it seem like their fake buttons were actually Poilievre’s buttons. And to get journalists to report that. Trouble is, the dirty tricksters couldn’t keep their mouths shut. They bragged about it at a bar, and a reporter overheard it, and she wrote the story. It was the biggest scandal of the campaign so far. Mark Carney was asked about it at a press conference last week. He claimed he was unaware of it, apologized and called it “totally unacceptable”. But he didn’t fire the staff — he said he just “reassigned” them to other projects. And that was the last the media cared. Except: I happen to own one of those slogans. In 2016, when Trump was popularizing his slogan Make America Great Again, I thought we needed to make Canada great again, too. So I filed for the trademark for the slogan “Make Canada Great Again”. And I got it. It’s mine. Just as much as Nike owns “Just Do It” or KFC owns “Finger Lickin’ Good”. I own “Make Canada Great Again”. And Mark Carney stole it, and admitted it on TV. Well, I don’t take kindly to people stealing my stuff — especially slippery politicians. Carney’s dirty tricksters deliberately tried to confuse people. The whole thing was based on deception. So last week I filed a simple, 10-page lawsuit against the Liberal Party and two of its dirty tricksters, John Doe 1 and John Doe 2. And that’s part of the process, isn’t it? The Liberal Party will have to answer questions under oath, including: Who did it? Who knew about it? Who approved it? Who are John Doe 1 and 2? Aren’t you curious? I sure am. Part of this is about protecting my property rights. Part of it is making sure that the man who wants to be Canada’s top law-maker isn’t a sneaky law-breaker. And part of it is learning more about what happened in the Liberal “war room” — did they steal anything else? Did they even care that they were breaking not just trademark law, but the Elections Act, too? (As you may know, every campaign expenditure has to have the name of the political party that authorized that expenditure, right on it. Carney broke that law too, and we’ve included that in the lawsuit.) How ironic: Carney was accusing Poilievre of U.S.-style politics, but he was the one with the dirty tricks campaign! What other campaign stunts were actually set up by the Liberals? I hope to find out. Mark Carney keeps getting away with things. Because really, who’s going to hold him to account — the mainstream media? Elections Canada? Hardly. So it falls to me — and because he stole the phrase “Make Canada Great Again” from me, I’m actually the only person who can take him to court, and I have a duty to do so. (Help me out if you can.) I’m curious to find out who exactly the dirty tricksters are, aren’t you? Remember, Carney didn’t fire them. He just “reassigned them”. That’s odd. Unless they were literally his top staff. That’s one of many things we expect to learn in this lawsuit. If you think it’s important to stand up for intellectual property rights against dirty tricksters, please take a moment and help chip in to cover this lawsuit. Obviously the Liberals will spend any amount of money to keep their law-breaking a secret. But I think it’s in the public interest to air all the facts out, don’t you? Read the lawsuit for yourself, and if you’re moved to help, you can do that right here. Thanks for your support!

Ottawa detective demoted following probe of sudden infant deaths after COVID vaccine rollout 💉 Defence lawyer calls the decision an assault on police discretion and the rule of law, warning that its implications could shape disciplinary cases for years to come. It was judgment day for Detective Helen Grus, after a four-year investigation and disciplinary tribunal. As a diligent detective, Grus used her discretion to look into a suspicious two- to three-fold surge in sudden infant deaths in Ottawa following the rollout of the modified RNA COVID-19 vaccines. She was ultimately sentenced to a 24-month demotion that comes with a significant salary loss. From first-class to second-class Constable, hearing officer Chris Renwick found her guilty of discreditable conduct for an “unauthorized probe clouded by her personal bias about vaccine injury or reactions” and improperly accessing the police records database. At the time of the probe, Grus was a detective in the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse unit, which is mandated by law to probe sudden deaths of children under five outside hospital settings. The penalty brings a significant pay cut on top of the financial losses she has already endured through years of these proceedings, including hefty legal fees. Her lawyer, Bath-Sheba van Den Berg, said that the penalty “goes to the absurdity of the discreditable charge itself, where there were multiple elements, and many of them which are nonsensical.” Van Den Berg called the decision itself “seriously wrong,” arguing that the Ottawa Police Service had shut down a potential criminal investigation into negligence surrounding a vaccine “that we know was not safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.” She pointed to tribunal evidence of at least five babies who died in circumstances matching those listed in Pfizer’s own clinical data reports. Detective Grus herself remains unbowed. Addressing claims of a lack of responsibility or remorse, she said: “My message has remained the same. I swore an oath to protect the public, preserve life, preserve the peace. And I will continue to do that each and every day.” Van Den Berg emphasized that using lack of remorse against an officer who maintains her innocence is an error in law that dismantles fair process. “Every police officer should really be up in arms about this decision because now it’s going to be used as binding and as a leading case law for future police disciplinary processes.” Renwick’s ruling, she argued, sends a disturbing message: “He’s sending a message to all police officers. You no longer are autonomous. You no longer have discretion. And he’s sending a message to all people in this country that if there is a public safety concern that is born from the hands of the government, that there will be no accountability for the government. And fundamentally, that tells us that rule of law is dead here in Canada.” Supporters outside held signs and offered prayers. Grus thanked them, along with local, national, and international supporters: “I am blown away with all the support… Look to God… Treat each other with kindness, respect, compassion each and every day.” Grus confirmed an appeal is coming — against both the March 2025 liability decision and today’s penalty — along with an application for fresh evidence. Drawing on her background in international criminal law, van Den Berg reminded those gathered that justice can take decades: “How we get there is by you, the people, never giving up, always fighting and believing that the truth will come out and justice will be served.” Several babies died in a short span. Two died in unusual circumstances, in their mothers’ arms, yet to this day: no one has looked into the sudden spike. Instead, the detective who asked why has been punished. Tamara Ugolini 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 Poilievre should push immigration issue 'with a vengeance': Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 With a new poll showing the Liberals and Conservatives in a near tie among voter support, Ezra Levant says Pierre Poilievre needs to make fixing Canada's broken immigration system his party's top priority. A new poll from Abacus Data has found voters are split almost evenly among their support for the Liberals (41%) and Conservatives (40%). While Prime Minister Mark Carney has a slight edge on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in favourability ratings, the largest gap between respondents was on the issue of immigration and refugees. For the 24% of respondents who placed immigration among their top three current issues, 59% felt the Poilievre Conservatives were the party best equipped to address the problem. On Tuesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra said the Conservatives need to target immigration as an issue, giving them an avenue to tap into a topic that is top of mind for many Canadians. “Carney's position is a fringe position, is an extreme position,” Ezra explained, referring to the 18% of respondents who said they trusted the Liberal leader most to deal with immigration. Canada's immigration system is the most out of control “in the world” after a decade first under Justin Trudeau, now under Carney — “which is precisely why the regime media calls Poilievre's position fringe and extreme and racist.” Ezra suggested Poilievre needs to say, “what so many Canadians are saying quietly to each other, that immigration is out of control and it needs to be stopped” instead of “continuing the unfortunate tradition of being scared of his own shadow.” Elections will have divisive issues either way, argued Ezra. “Poilievre can let the media choose the controversy,” he said, like letting the press focus on which leader has the most disdain for U.S. President Donald Trump. “Or Poilievre can choose the controversy that suits him best,” Ezra went on, “by outlining a very strong immigration policy of kicking out frauds, deporting those who have no right to be here and imposing cultural values tests on foreign extremists, letting Canadians get entry level jobs instead of temporary foreign workers.” Canada's mainstream media would “freak out” over this, he added, which would serve more like an ad for Poilievre, “spreading the word that Poilievre means deportations.” But the general public, “certainly not anyone under 50,” has little regard for the legacy media's pundits. “This poll shows us two things, don't dump Poilievre just because the Liberals don't like him,” Ezra said. “The second thing it shows is, Poilievre should come back with a vengeance on immigration and link to everything from crime to health-care waiting lines to overspending to traffic. That's one policy the Liberals will never co-opt.”

The tariffs aren’t coming today. Thank Premier Smith for being in DC this wknd actively making the case for avoiding a tariff war by sitting down with the Presidents closest advisors. You can see her at galas and at the embassy. My friend Andrew Coyne thinks this is appeasement. I think it’s committed diplomacy. She’s making a clear case, not selling out. And where are the feds? Who are they meeting with? I’m at the Inauguration with some friends who will serve in the new Administration. I’ve been at some receptions and galas a conversations about Canada and tariffs always come up. Yesterday morning the Trump team delayed tariffs and made it clear again: they are about getting Mexico and Canada to solve for border security. In private people say Mexico is preparing a clinical response to the border/drug issues and Canada is MIA except for Premier Smith talking about energy security. Here’s what else I’m hearing: 1. Virtually no one in D.C. could tell you who or what the federal Canadian is doing to fix the broken border and the security, military, trade and the NATO freeloading issues that are the basis of the original tariff threat. The state dept guy said we are notorious for our security problems now and tolerance was fading. 2. Premier Smith is making friends and influencing people. She is focused on direct conversations with the Presidents closest advisors who will decide energy and foreign trade policy including Bergum, Rubio and Wright. Canadian Fed naysayers meanwhile aren’t here, preferring to talk tough on CBC while she’s taking open interviews on Fox and defending Canada directly with Cabinet members. 3. Canada’s leadership vacuum is obvious. No one here understands how a PM can resign & suspend a democracy for three months so his party can have a leadership race. 4. The American priority is security: economic, border, Arctic and NATO. Anyone in Cdn politics who wants to talk tough needs to explain how we will actually fix our broken borders and weak national security. - CTV/CBC, needs to ask every idiot repeating that ‘everything is on the table’ ask them how they will convince the US we are fixing the broken border & our reckless asylum, visa and immigration fraud that invited our growing extremism and criminal and terror syndicate activity to explode. How will the Feds guarantee the Americans they won’t interdict another 1000 watchlist terrorists (90pc+ of all US terror interdictions) in the next few years? I’d love to hear what Joly would say to the state dept guys I just had brunch with. Because their critique of our national security posture is devastating which is why the Americans are intrigued to know how we will fix our immigration/asylum/terror/crime/security/law enforcement issues. 5. While the feds have no coherent messsages or presence on the core security issue Premier Smith is actively addressing energy security with an all-Canada argument: - that our energy is key to US energy security - that they get it today as a discounted input to thousands of jobs and hundreds of billions in U.S. value-added refined and traded goods - when the energy trade is deducted from all other sectors, the Americans actually enjoy a trade surplus with Canada of over $50 billion. Great argument and if you check the video below she makes it clear. So here’s a question for the feds: She’s actively meeting and explaining energy economics to defend against tariffs on all Canadian goods. So what exactly are you doing? The tariff threat isn’t gone just delayed to see progress on the border. Maybe it’s time to get to DC and start talking to US media and the White House instead of trying to take cheap shots on CBC? It’s a much tougher crowd down here. You’ll need real answers. But it would be the right thing to do for team Canada, our economy and our security. Danielle can show you the ropes. She’s a team player. Just doesn’t stay on the bench… 🇨🇦

Today, I found a wheat field and took what I think might be one of the most iconic videos of this journey. Then I walked on pavement heated by 40°C temperatures for what felt like forever. Eventually, an oasis appeared. A completely empty hotel or motel showed up on the side of the highway. I went inside and asked the woman about the menu. She looked slightly annoyed as she tried to understand my accent. “Borsch. Solyanka. Cutlet.” “Okay. Borsch.” It was a wonderful choice. One thing I have been trying to do throughout this walk is support local businesses whenever I can and eat at least one fresh meal along the way. Thank you to the British military for keeping me fed, but nothing compares to a fresh bowl of borsch after hours on the highway. Even with the heat, and even with all the kilometres still ahead of me before Poltava, I feel completely amped. I am getting so close. Andrew from HUGS Helping Ukraine Grassroots Support 🍁🇨🇦🇺🇦 will be meeting me along the way to bring me a carimat, which means tonight I will finally have something to sleep on. I am so grateful to every volunteer in #Ukraine who has come out to help me, to my friends, and to the people who have supported me throughout the years and continue to support me on this journey. I have been physically alone out here. I drove all the boxes out, delivered them, planned this entire walk, and have been filming, posting, fundraising, and organizing everything along the way. It takes a lot of extra energy, but I have people in the background who continue to show up for me. They check on me while I am walking, ask whether I am okay, and push me to speak up when I need something. I am so grateful for all of you. Our fundraiser is now only $2,200 away from reaching its goal. That money will allow us to secure an ATV for one of the infantry companies in my battalion. It is something they have been asking for for a long time, and I am incredibly grateful that we may finally be able to provide it, especially now. This is a critical moment in Donetsk Oblast. So much has happened since I started walking. We have lost many positions. There is so much happening that I have not yet been able to show you, including some truly shocking footage that I will be sharing in the coming weeks. Please donate if you are able, and please share this fundraiser. We are almost there. #Support93 #StandWithUkraine

If you want to understand the Joe FlipperHead, Olivia Lamb, Karen Read and Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney chaos; FlipperHead (a guy named Nick from Philly) got confirmation Aidan recorded Karen Read. Then the recordings leaked. Basically, Olivia works for Aidan as a paralegal, now, but Olivia used to be close to Karen in the past (and Olivia and FlipperHead used to be close, as well, on a personal level). FlipperHead, for his part, is loyal to Olivia and Karen but FlipperHead doesn't like Aidan (much like other people close to Karen). Aidan, in turn, seems to be using Olivia to discredit Flipperhead (potentially without Olivia's permission). VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [Opening remarks on social media and focus] Grant: [Lindsey Gaetani's] been talking about on social media, but let's get to that second. What I wanna start with—let me find the tab—I wanna start with the developments related to Aidan Kearney and Karen Read, okay? So we're gonna jump right into that, and what I have here is the actual discussion. Now, if you go on my X, you will be able to see the entire transcript. I'm gonna try to scroll with you as the video plays. It's a lot, okay? And then we're gonna do part two as well. So eventually, we're gonna hit part two of the transcript. I'm gonna pause, and we're gonna go to the second video. Now, this discussion—the reason why I wanna go over this—is I was listening to it, and I was like, "Wait a minute, I speak this language that they're all talking. I understand sort of the subtext of all of this, but they weren't really talking on the surface." It's a conversation between somebody named Chris, who Aidan Kearney calls a "koala," somebody named Joe Flipperhead—who's actually named Nick from Philadelphia, who was apparently close to a woman named Olivia Lamb, who is gonna come up in this as well. Now, Olivia Lamb did a lot of social media posts about the Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial on her profile on Twitter under Olivia. Now, then Olivia started—in a public announcement—saying that she started working for Aidan Kearney. And what you're gonna hear in this conversation is there's also a woman named—who else? There's a woman who's Australian that Aidan also knows named Lily. She introduces herself in the beginning, and then she's kind of the moderator-mediator. And then there's another woman that pops up in the middle named Erika Walsh. She only speaks two or three times. She's one of Turtle Boy's moderators. She interjects at two random times: one, when someone starts talking about Meredith; and two, when Aidan starts saying how bad the content of the conversation in question—that was allegedly recorded and sent to Karen Read, between Aidan and Karen—is for Karen. And then there's a third unknown voice that pops up at the end, who sounds like—it's a female, she's American. I don't know her voice, but it sounds like she's very close to Joe Flipperhead, this guy Nick. And she uses this phrase about Nick "leaving Olivia's ass" in a way that makes me think maybe this girl is close to Nick, and like, she got close to him after Olivia and Nick separated. Now you might say to yourself, "Oh dear God, why—first of all, Grant, why do you know all this?" These people post a lot; I don't know. Tracking this thing is something I've been doing for a while. So it's not like I went into it because I wanted to know who the hell Joe Flipperhead was, or Olivia Lamb was. They entered into a world that I knew a lot about because they were trying to cover this case. And so inevitably, I just had them on my radar, and when things pop up like this, I just connect the dots. [Background on Olivia Lamb] In terms of Olivia though—so she, I don't know. There was this weird situation, I think, at the end of trial one for Karen Read. So somewhere in—I don't know—late 2024, summer 2024 or so. Weird situation where Olivia kind of then, for a few months, wasn't around as much, or she was, but not as much. And then she came back around for Aidan and said she was working on his team or something. Now, Olivia—I don't think Olivia Lamb's necessarily a bad person. I think whoever she is, and whatever she's doing, is very intelligent. But if you kind of look into that family, her mom is named Christina Lamb, and her mom does boutique consulting for law firms. I think her mom might be a lawyer, but she doesn't really—I think the way that she does consulting is more like tactically how lawyers should think about how a case is presented in the public, et cetera, stuff like that. And you have to tie this into this Elizabeth Dombrowski person out of New York that runs this Good Counsel Legal Services that proclaimed that Jen Altman and whoever else were paralegals for Aidan. You see what I'm saying? And what I think Olivia's role is—I think she just does PR. She does some paralegal work clearly, but I think she's mostly like a PR specialist. But I think why there's so much obfuscation—and I'm giving you all this background, because the conversation you're about to hear makes no sense if you don't know all this background. The context there, I think, is that—I think Olivia is a person. Like, I think she is real. But I think the reason why there's so many smoke and mirrors is that she's a conduit for implausible deniability. In the world of public relations—especially this kind of public relations—is incredibly important. So I think she's like a conduit for more entrenched public relations interests, which—okay, fine. I don't see that as per se evil. I'm a critical theorist. So I study propaganda. So like, if you are doing anything that emerged from Edward Bernays's systemic weaponization of his uncle Sigmund Freud's study of the mass psychology of the mind—if you do any of that—you're inevitably gonna catch my attention. Not because I necessarily per se think it's evil, but because that's my wheelhouse. Like, I reconstruct public relations and then I figure out what's driving that. Okay. So she—Olivia—got on my radar because of that, not necessarily because she's evil. Same, because I never really saw it. Now maybe some of the witnesses in the trial would think differently, but that's not my role here. I am like—I'm an objective observer. And um, Olivia was never really cruel. Like she just does PR. So I wouldn't necessarily say like everything she did was like right. But if you look at her style, it's not polemical. It's not—it's mostly analytical. Okay. So that's not an aphoristic or manipulative or evil person really. That's a PR specialist. And this guy, Nick—very similar, Joe Flipperhead. Okay. If you look at his posts—like, I wouldn't exactly say he's a cruel human being, you know, like he memes and stuff. Okay. He's kind of like Dave Cullinane a little bit, but he's just like a human. And you can hear it in this conversation. Like Joe is the one who's really holding Aidan accountable. Joe Flipperhead—whose name is Nick—he's from Philly. And um, I noticed 'cause I watched the stream of them one time—I don't know—he seems all right. I don't have anything against him or Olivia. In fact, I think they did a damn good job, at least Joe. Because what you'll also see here is there's another subtext. What this conversation is about is an allegation that Aidan Kearney sent a recorded conversation to Karen Read—a conversation with her—and then someone—nobody knows who—sent the recording to Karen's lawyers, David Yannetti and Alan Jackson. Now, what's weird about this is that there's also—and I don't like, whatever, I guess it is what it is—but the host, one of the hosts, Chris, this Australian guy—he might be a New Zealander, I don't know. But anyway, he starts saying directly to Aidan, "Listen Aidan, you went to lunch with Meredith—this Turtle Boy's former girlfriend—but her name is Meredith O'Neill (meredith). She's a person; she has an existence outside of Aidan Kearney and whether—a lot of people, I think, rightfully so, will take issue with some of the things Meredith has posted. But that's for her soul to deal with. She has to reckon with it, reflect on it, whatever the fuck, okay? That's separate from; she exists outside of the fact that she used to date Aidan Kearney." And I just wanna make that as a blanket point that like Aidan Kearney does not own someone's soul because they had some connection to him at any point in time. These people are independent people who have their own lives. So Meredith O'Neill is her name. And Meredith—like, clearly something happened between Aidan and Meredith because over the past few weeks—like, first of all, there's some more subtext to this, which is Aidan's paralegal team before Olivia Lamb came on was Courtney Healy and this woman named Tina Murray. Tina Murray —I didn't even know THE NAME until two weeks ago—but I had seen her before because she had silver hair when she was in court one time. I had no idea who it was, but she was sitting next to Courtney Healy. Now, way back when Aidan Kearney was incarcerated in late 2023, early 2024—apparently these two women, Courtney Healy and Tina Murray, were very close to Aidan Kearney. Someone had his logins, allegedly. They were helping like post for him while he was in jail, et cetera. Now, there's time back to that as well. Jen Altman is a key figure in all of this. And the reason why is that Jen Altman was the reason that Aidan Kearney and Karen Read got hooked up initially through Natalie Wiweke-Bershneider or whatever her name is. Jen Altman was also among this weird group of people. It was Tina Murray, Courtney Healy, Jen Altman, I think, and maybe just them three, who had access to Aidan in jail on a paralegal list. And at one point, Tim Bradl, Aidan's lawyer, wrote down that Jen Altman was a lawyer. She got so mad that she messaged Bradl, and then those messages got leaked. So there's all this discontent brewing within Aidan Kearney's kind of like organization, if you wanna call it. I'd call it more like a—yeah, it's like a hierarchy. And like he's at the—it's like a politician almost, but he's not a politician. You have like a top person at the top, and then you have all these staffers, and you have to manage the staffers. That's what he's dealing with. And he's gotta keep everybody like in line because like at one person breaks—especially a key—all right, two things. One, there's a reason you compartmentalize information, and you're not gonna be able to get in these type of operations because nobody needs to know everything. If you did that, then everyone would be a weak link. The problem is though, in order to compartmentalize in a bureaucracy or a schema like this, you have to have some people who actually know what's going on. Those people are liabilities. They're weak links. If you have someone who is too close and they know how you compartmentalized information, they'll see the full picture. They're the weak link. That's Courtney Healy, Tina Murray, Jen Altman, Meredith, Lindsey a little bit. These people are the weak links for Aidan because they see the full picture, whether they are aligned with him, don't like him, etc. etc. It's just they're the biggest weaknesses for him because they see the full picture. That's why he tries to either control them—in my opinion—or destroy them. But Aidan's in a real tough spot here because you can't run that playbook on Karen Read. Clearly, these people are incredibly loyal to her. Flipperhead, Olivia, etc. They may have been helping Aidan, but they're incredibly loyal to Karen. Now, what I've always suspected is that the whole point of charging Aidan Kearney was—one, he did bad things to the witnesses in the retrial, Lindsey Gaetani. He did bad things allegedly. Okay, the grand jury indicted him. But I think Brian Tully and the MSP unit that investigated Aidan—they were more interested in two different goals. Okay, they had parallel objectives beyond just the criminal proceeding. One: get information about who the target of the federal probe was after August of 2023. And it was Tully's unit and Matthew Farwell related to the Sandra Birchmore murder coverup. Number two: I think Tully wanted—and Kate Peter and Marty Keach wanted—Aidan Kearney and Michael Morrissey wanted Aidan Kearney to flip on Karen Read. It was a pressure tactic. It was always just a pressure tactic. That's what I fully believe. Now, I'm not saying he didn't do bad things. I just believe in the mind of the DA—these people were using pressure tactics to get Aidan Kearney in a tactical position where he would flip. Why do I think this? Well, a few things. One: in the fall of 2023, between like August and November, Aidan Kearney didn't need an intermediary with Karen Read. Natalie was out of the picture, although I'm suspect, because there's this new text from Natalie from August saying that like she was still loyal to Karen Read—although ostensibly they had a falling out in June of 2023 because Natalie called Karen late at night and she was upset about it. I always thought that was BS. Now I know why it was BS because there's also a March 24 message about like Joe Warren and Natalie wanting to go to court. I just have this suspicion that Natalie was never really like against Karen. What Natalie was doing was using Turtle Boy as leverage with Karen's permission—using it's called a limited hangout. Limited information about Turtle Boy's culpability for witness intimidation to the MSP so that the MSP would trust Natalie—so that Natalie could relay information back to Karen about the ongoing investigation of Karen and Aidan for conspiracy under 2747 and witness intimidation under 26813B. Now they did try to eventually indict Karen on that in March of 2024 at No True Bill, but they can do it again. They got more evidence—the state in May of 2024 about Aidan saying in Facebook messages that one Karen told him not to go to Lindsey Gaetani's apartment on December 23rd, 2023, and then some other stuff—basically where Aidan was implying that someone told him to run Jen McCabe's license plates. Who would that be? Karen Read. He didn't say it but he implied it to Jenna Rocco and Amy D'Angelis and whoever else was in that internal chat that got leaked. So I really believe that the reason why Aidan Kearney was such a liability to Karen Read—and why she was saying it out loud—is that Karen Read always saw Aidan Kearney as vulnerable to flip. Why? Because Brian Tully did his homework—whatever his motives were—and he found a few things. And I think that him and Kate Peter profiled Aidan Kearney. That's why Kate Peter had some role in this—because they thought Kate Peter should really like Aidan in a lot of ways because he used to be colleagues. Two: I think the state police thought she saw his psyche—Aidan's psyche—and could help them profile him. Three: I think Kate Peter is very hard into the world, and Tully and those other people in the unit could say like, "Yeah, we're worried about Birchmore; we got to do damage control here. Nothing's really wrong with the O'Keefe death investigation," and just—they're going to find out about Birchmore—and Kate would go along with it. That's my opinion. But Tully gets this video of Aidan that he had sent to Lindsey—and it's out there on the internet. I don't want to play the content; it's sad. But this is why I think this is what was in the prosecutor's mind when they were going—and the MSP's mind—when they were going after Kearney. Yes, he did bad things—especially to people that knew the DA and Tully like McCabe, Jen McCabe, etc. But also Aidan was an Achilles heel for Karen. Think about MSP, right? And the way we're analyzing Aidan's weaknesses via weak links in the compartmentalization chain. Okay, flip it around and think about MSP thinking about Karen. What's a weak link in her compartmentalization chain? Aidan Kearney. Now, in that regard, Aidan Kearney—if he flips on Karen Read—guarantees a conviction for Karen Read for the state, even if they can't get her on John's death. It was a backup plan. Second to that, I think though—it's a dynamic situation—and that something must have fucking happened recently. Okay, and I've long thought—and we'll read Lindsey's post on this later because she was talking about it on Twitter overnight, and I was reading it this morning, and it made me think about this—I've long suspected that Kate Peter made a deal with Aidan Kearney in the past like 6-8 months. And the deal was involving the Norfolk DA and the people prosecuting Kearney, and the goal was to get Kearney to flip. And I also think Kate wants Kearney in the Netflix documentary that she's working on with Gretchen and Sandpaper—which, they don't really understand. Like, bro, you think you're getting my footage and me if you're going to enable Kate Peter and try to portray her as the Charlotte of the internet? What planet are you on? No. No, the answer is no. But anyway, I really believe that this deal was made because why else—and I think Karen found out about it—because why else would Karen—[we're going to—the conversation is going to clarify all this]—why else would Karen on Friday authorize Joe Flipperhead to release information that confirms that Aidan recorded Karen. Now, why Karen is not going to do this if she didn't hear the fucking recording? She's not a moron. She's a tactical genius. I'm telling you—I don't necessarily agree with all the things she's done. I personally think she's responsible for John's death, but like—she's a fucking tactical genius. And you have to understand in some sense—like she wouldn't do this unless it's real. Like someone sent her that recording, and I don't believe Aidan Kearney sent it to intermediaries because if Meredith is the closest person to him—or was—in the world, and he's going to lunch with her and will only play it for her allegedly—okay, there's no way in hell that he would just send it to people. I believe—whether through a fake account or otherwise—Aidan Kearney sent that to Karen's lawyers. That's just my opinion. I think there's strong reason for him to do it. It's a message. Okay. As a result, I think Karen Read doing this had to sense that this was the moment—like this was the moment where the decision was going to be made about whether or not he cooperated. And now is Aidan's kind of like signal flare that I'm thinking—from Karen Read's perspective—Aidan sending that recording to Jackson and Yannetti is a signal flare that if she doesn't act now, he's making the choice to flip on her. Okay, well, what did she just do? She in essence just put him in the worst position possible because he had to be able to—him and Kate Peter—had to sell the narrative in public that—and this is why I was on Lindsey's profile earlier. Let me see if I can bring that up—him and Kate Peter had to sell the narrative in public that Karen was worse than Aidan Kearney. All right, so let's take a look at Lindsey Gaetani's post here. Let's read this first and then let's look at the post from Kate Peter. So Kate Peter post last night: "Karen Read has killed a man before and to my knowledge, Aidan Kearney has yet to do anything like that. Take that as you will. Regardless, they're both giant DBAGs, but you can decide who is worse. My vote is Karen Read." That's Kate Peter—one of the closest people in the world right now to Brian Tully, Michael Morrissey, and the decision makers who were initially prosecuting Kearney—telling you in plain sight what's going on. So let's read Lindsey's post: "Yes, we already know a deal was made a long time ago. How cute of Kate trying to win over the turtle riders after she pretended she was still trying to put him in jail the past several months. Does anyone of the turtle riders know who Christine Gagne is? I have no idea who that is. Does anyone know who that is? That's the woman Kate Peter blamed for wiretapping charges with TB and the person she blamed when I asked her where her deleted Google Drive went with the state's evidence. Why would Kate blame this woman for deleting evidence when this woman's name was never mentioned during the grand jury or in a single email or police report? Interesting." Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So we know Kate Peter was providing evidence to the grand jury. We know that from the recently released court documents and discovery in the Kearney criminal case. Why was—why is Kate Peter blaming someone? Who is Christine Gagne, who—why is Kate blaming her when Kate was the one who was—there's evidence that Kate was directly providing this material to Tully, who was taking it to the grand jury. And by the way, I want people to understand: my anger here is not because Aidan Kearney was prosecuted. I think he should be held accountable. My anger here is because the people prosecuting him had ulterior motives. Lindsey Gaetani didn't have an ulterior motive. She was victimized. She was an unwitting pawn in this proxy war between Karen and the DOJ—Karen and the DOJ and Aidan on one side, and the Norfolk DA and the MSP unit on the other. But instead of trying to prosecute Aidan, it was all tactical. And nobody was told—that's the worst part. And that's why I'm so upset about all of this, because it was a disgrace. It was a disgrace to the process. If you're going to hold someone accountable, do it. You don't use it as leverage to get someone else. And if you're going to do that, be open with the people who are victimized. Otherwise, you are going to build resentment. Why would you ever want to be in a situation where you have to handle a victim? Because if they were made aware of what was actually going on, they would be upset. That is a very prime example—on its face example—that something is very wrong. Not because Aidan Kearney is absolved of liability or because I think he did nothing wrong. Absolutely not. No. Other way around. But because that kind of behavior—given impunity basically, because there's a larger fish—it's an abuse of prosecutorial discretion, not because the prosecution exists. In my opinion, a grand jury indicted him; he should be prosecuted. That's what happens when indictments get handed up. But because the aim of the prosecution was not to seek justice—it was to get—it was to pressure Kearney to flip on Karen Read. [Transition to the conversation] Now, to bring this all back—because we got to go—I want to look at this conversation here. I want to actually listen to this chat a minute. I'm going to explicate; I'm going to try to tell you what happens. "Hi, Bunny Towel. Hi, Christina. No haircut. But guess if you want to send donations—today's a good day for that. We got to get Towel to the end of the month. Towel's not going to be able to move very much for the next few days. So I could use some food if you want to send me some gift cards. I just need some help. All right. I'm a little towel. I got a lot going on. And anyway, so I'll—I'm sitting in my chair. That's as much as I can do right now. I can talk; my brain works. I can sit in my chair. I'm not doing anything else, but I should eat at some point. Anyway, so we're going to listen to this conversation because you have to think of all that background when you're analyzing. Why right now? Okay, why would Karen Read tactically right now burn Aidan Kearney? Aidan Kearney supporters are very loyal, but a lot of Aidan Kearney's base are becoming alienated because either they care more about Karen Read than Aidan Kearney or because Aidan Kearney's been on this weird tear recently where he like been attacking middle-aged women who are most of his fans. All right. Most of his fans are middle-aged women. And he goes after people's looks like whatever. So there's already this alienation happening. I believe the only reason Karen Read does this right now is because what it did—and what it's doing to Aidan Kearney—is it's decimating his support. Okay. Well, why are you decimating his support? Why are you forcing people to pick sides? Why would you do that right now? Either [he] cooperated or he's about to. All right. Now Karen Read—if she was—here's my read of this—if Karen Read was just going to cooperate, she wouldn't have done this this way. Okay. I'm sorry. It would have been completely different. I don't believe that she would have done it this way. I believe she would have done it a completely different way. And the reason why I believe that—we're going to read the text from Karen before we start listening to this. By the way, you can see I have the video here for you. What happened? By the way, just to give you a little more context. So this X Spaces that we're going to listen to—I have the full 37-minute X Space. This X Space, okay—it was before the text messages from Karen to Joe Flipperhead got released. So what you have to realize is these texts you're seeing on the screen got released because of this conversation. You're going to hear Joe Flipperhead say it.
