(Sandra speaking):  Pastor Henry Hildebrandt wraps up his experience with an “In solidarity” message to us all.

Paying attention to the progress of the Covid Prosecutions for a few years now,  I am familiar with his case.  He is an even-handed man.  I did not tell you about his case – – I figured he was going to get it resolved, himself.  He would be out all the TIME these things take; he had good backing from supporters.  I am shocked it came to this.  $339K!

Who in hell do the Government and its minions think they are?

(The link to Hildebrandt’s message is in the article;  you do not require an X account, just click on it.)

From the last paragraph of the article:   Hildebrandt in a local, St. Thomas court on August 24, 2023, pleaded guilty to holding an in-person service while pandemic restrictions, the Ontario Reopening Act, were in place. 

Upon Hildebrandt’s guilty plea last year, all other charges against him, his church, his family members and others were dropped. 

Ontario Pastor Henry Hildebrandt pays off $339K in pandemic-era fines

Pastor Henry Hildebrandt of Church of God in Aylmer, ON, has paid off a $65,000 fine for holding an outdoor church service during the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to an earlier $274,000 fine.

About 500 people attended an outdoor service at Church of God on June 6, 2021, landing the pastor a hefty fine in addition to a string of other charges related to Ontario’s pandemic restrictions. These included holding indoor services of more than 10 to 15 people. In May of 2021 a Superior Court judge ordered Hildebrandt’s church to be seized or pay the $274,000 fine.

Hildebrandt pursued an appeal on the outdoor church service charges all the way to the Supreme Court, but Canada’s top judicial entity refused to hear the case last August.

“It’s hard to believe that this is actually happening in Canada. This was during the COVID-19 time, when they fined us for having an outdoor church service,” said Hildebrandt, speaking in a video outside the Ontario Provincial Court of Offences after paying the fine. He noted about 60% of the fine was covered through crowdfunding contributions worldwide.

Commenting on his own video, Hildebrandt acknowledged he has been asked why he would pay the fine. He said he and his church had no further recourse after the Supreme Court declined to their appeal.

“The choices we had left was not pay and lose our property or give to Caesar what is Caesar’s,” said Hildebrandt, quoting Jesus in the New Testament.

“We chose the latter.”

Hildebrandt in the video pointed out people facing religious persecution around the world are told to come to Canada, where people are free to practice their religion. “Yet, in the last few years, we saw it was the exact opposite. We saw pastors dragged along the highway. Pastors were jailed. Pastors were fined.”

“We complied (with the pandemic restrictions) at first, believing the government had our best interest in mind. And we look back and see it was a lie,” said Hildebrandt.

“We stood for what is right, what the charter tells us. Most of all, we stood on what the Word of God is telling us,” said Hildebrandt.

“We don’t regret the stand that we took. We were going what the Bible commands us to do — not to forsake the assembly of ourselves. The church must gather.”

“Yes, we paid $65,000 for an outdoor service, but I am glad that we can look back and see that we were there for the people. When they needed us the most, we were there for them,” Hildebrandt said in a video posted to social media after he made the payment over the weekend.

“Unfortunately, our justice system in this country when we needed them the most — they failed us.”

Hildebrandt in a local, St. Thomas court on August 24, 2023, pleaded guilty to holding an in-person service while pandemic restrictions, the Ontario Reopening Act, were in place.

“I am guilty of obeying God rather than men,” Hildebrandt Justice Anna Marie Hampson.

Upon Hildebrandt’s guilty plea last year, all other charges against him, his church, his family members and others were dropped.

Sandra speaking:  I added an arbitrary sampling of info:

Zappa was not a drug user.  He died at age 53 from prostate cancer.  As a child he was exposed to a heavy load of toxic chemicals.

Excerpts From Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa

While some lyrics still raised controversy among critics, some of whom found them sexist,[11]: 284  the political and sociological satire in songs like the title track and “The Blue Light” have been described as a “hilarious critique of the willingness of the American people to believe anything”.

“I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a ‘temporary license to exist’—in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government—it doesn’t own you.[1]: 315–316, 323–324, 329–330 

Zappa categorized himself as a “practical conservative.”[nb 13] He favored limited government and low taxes; he also stated that he approved of national defense, social security, and other federal programs, but only if recipients of such programs are willing and able to pay for them.[1]: 315–316, 323–324, 329–330  He opposed military drafts, saying that military service should be voluntary.[141] He favored capitalism, entrepreneurship, and independent business, stating that musicians could make more from owning their own businesses than from collecting royalties.[142] He opposed communism, stating, “A system that doesn’t allow ownership… has—to put it mildly—a fatal design flaw.”[1]: 315–316, 323–324, 329–330  He had used his album covers to encourage his fans to register to vote, and throughout 1988, he had registration booths at his concerts.[11]: 348 

In early 1990, Zappa visited Czechoslovakia at the request of President Václav Havel. The meeting had been arranged by keyboardist Michael Kocáb. A longtime admirer of Zappa’s commitment to individualism, Havel designated him as Czechoslovakia’s “Special Ambassador to the West on Trade, Culture and Tourism.”[149] Havel was a lifelong fan of Zappa, who had great influence in the avant-garde and underground scene in Central Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. The Plastic People of the Universe, a Czechoslovakian jazz rock group associated with Prague underground culture, took its name from Zappa’s 1967 song “Plastic People“.[150] Under pressure from Secretary of State, James Baker, Zappa’s posting (as Czech ‘Special Ambassador’) was withdrawn.[151] Havel made Zappa an unofficial cultural attaché instead.[11]: 357–361  Zappa planned to develop an international consulting enterprise to facilitate trade between the former Eastern Bloc and Western businesses.[107]

Quotes, Frank Zappa:
  1. “Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
  2. “If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.”
  3. “If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
  4. “Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
  5. “The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else’s life.”
  6. “The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
  7. “Government is the Entertainment division of the military-industrial complex.”
  8. “I’m vile and perverted. I’m obsessed and deranged.

I’ve existed for years but very little has changed.

I’m the tool of the government and industry too.
For I’m destined to rule and regulate you.
You may think I’m pernicious, but you can’t look away.
I’ll make you think I’m delicious with the stuff that I say.
I’m the best you can get… have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozing out of your TV set….”

9. “A true Zen saying: “Nothing is what I want.”

10.  Schools train you to be ignorant with style […] they prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re going to be alright […] So I believe that schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming up.”

11. “Stupidity has a certain charm – ignorance does not

12.  “lf you’re going to deal with reality, you’re going to have to make one big discovery: Reality is something that belongs to you as an individual. If you wanna grow up, which most people don’t, the thing to do is take responsibility for your own reality and deal with it on your own terms. Don’t expect that because you pay some money to somebody else or take a pledge or join a club or run down the street or wear a special bunch of clothes or play a certain sport or even drink Perrier water, it’s going to take care of everything for you.”

A Louisiana district court ruled late Tuesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Children’s Health Defense have legal standing to sue the Biden administration for colluding with tech giants to censor their social media posts, in a decision that listed specific instances of government officials targeting Kennedy and CHD.

gavel

A Louisiana district court ruled late Tuesday that plaintiffs Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Children’s Health Defense (CHD) have the legal right to sue the Biden administration for pressuring tech giants to censor their social media posts.

The judgment came less than a month after a federal appeals court declined to rule on a preliminary injunction prohibiting the administration from coordinating with social media companies until the district court decided the plaintiffs’ standing.

Standing is the legal doctrine that requires plaintiffs to show they have suffered direct and concrete injuries and that those injuries could be resolved in court in order to sue.

Commenting on Tuesday’s ruling in Kennedy v. Biden, Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD general counsel, said that the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana “reached what we believe is the correct conclusion with respect to standing for CHD and Mr. Kennedy.”

Perhaps even “more importantly,” she told The Defender:

“Judge Terry Doughty carefully and clearly analyzed the law and facts and applied the framework from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Murthy v. Missouri regarding standing. The court also firmly found in plaintiffs’ favor that plaintiffs had not waived — and indeed had affirmatively raised — direct censorship claims in addition to listener claims.”

 

Facebook admitted suppressing truthful CHD social media posts

In his decision, Doughty summarized the evidence, outlining a series of specific instances where Kennedy and CHD were censored.

He also reviewed the three requirements for “standing,” which are that a plaintiff must show that they suffered an injury, that the injury is traceable to the defendant’s actions and that it can be redressed through a favorable decision.

CHD CEO Mary Holland said Doughty found that the government’s conduct is traceable to direct statements and instructions to social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

“Further, the judge found that a preliminary injunction, which mandates that the government stop censoring plaintiffs through social media, would redress their injuries,” Holland said.

Doughty wrote that Kennedy and CHD “were in positions contrary to Government positions on COVID-19, including mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine injuries, lockdowns, etc.,” that Kennedy was identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate as part of the so-called “Disinformation Dozen,” and that CHD was named as a tool for spreading “anti-vaccine messages.”

Doughty also reviewed a series of meetings and emails between the White House and Twitter and Facebook, which occurred throughout 2021, in which those companies agreed to de-amplify, place warnings on or fully censor posts containing so-called “vaccine misinformation,” regardless of whether the information was true.

For example, in one email Clark Humphrey, a member of the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response team, requested Twitter remove one of Kennedy’s tweets. The tech giant complied.

“Facebook admitted that although the CHD’s posts did not violate its policies, it would suppress content that originated from CHD,” Doughty wrote.

He cited reports written by organizations, such as the Virality Project, which named Kennedy and CHD specifically, flagging them with “tickets” to report COVID-19 misinformation to the social media giants.

He also cited the fact that Kennedy’s Instagram account was suspended and CHD continues to be deplatformed from Instagram, Facebook and YouTube — showing that CHD faces ongoing injury, a requirement for standing.

“There is not much dispute that both Kennedy and CHD were specifically targeted by the White House, the Office of Surgeon General, and CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency], and the content of Kennedy and CHD were suppressed,” he wrote.

Given censorship of the Donald Trump presidential campaign on social media, and evidence presented in a declaration by Brigid Rasmussen, the chief of Kennedy’s presidential campaign, stating that content favorable to the campaign had been censored on social media, Doughty ruled that Kennedy faces a “substantial risk” that government defendants will restrict his speech in the future.

Doughty ruled that the third plaintiff in the case, Connie Sampognaro, a Louisiana healthcare professional, who argued she was deprived of the “right to listen” to censored organizations did not have standing. Doughty said Sampognaro did not show specific instances of content moderation that caused her harm.

‘Undisputed that CHD has satisfied its burden of showing injury’

In June, the Supreme Court struck down a similar injunction against the Biden administration in a related case, Murthy v. Missouri.

The court ruled the plaintiffs — two states and five social media users — did not have standing because they couldn’t show “specific causation” for any instance of content moderation tied to the government.

The court also said the plaintiffs couldn’t demonstrate a substantial risk that “in the near future they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek.”

The injunction issued in Kennedy v. Biden was granted on Feb. 14 by Doughty, who also issued a stay until 10 days after the Supreme Court ruled on the injunction in Murthy v. Biden.

After the Supreme Court overturned the Murthy v. Missouri injunction, the Biden administration appealed the injunction in Kennedy v. Biden to the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, citing the same argument they used in Murthy v. Missouri — that the plaintiffs lacked standing.

The 5th Circuit sent the case back to the District Court to rule on standing. In its ruling yesterday, Doughty wrote:

“This Court finds that there is significant evidence showing Kennedy was directly censored in the past, and there is likely a substantial risk that Kennedy’s content will be restricted in the future because of the actions of at least one of the Government Defendants. …

“It is undisputed that CHD has satisfied its burden of showing injury in fact for much of the same reasons that Kennedy has.”

Only one plaintiff needs to have standing for a case to move forward. The case will now proceed to the 5th Circuit, which will rule on the preliminary injunction.

The Defender on occasion posts content related to Children’s Health Defense’s nonprofit mission that features Mr. Kennedy’s views on the issues CHD and The Defender regularly cover. In keeping with Federal Election Commission rules, this content does not represent an endorsement of Mr. Kennedy who is on leave from CHD and is running for president of the U.S. as an independent candidate.

Ottawa Police Inspector Hugh O’Toole Resigns Amid Witness Tampering Accusations in Detective Grus Case After allegations of Criminal Intimidation of a Witness and Obstruct Justice –
Ottawa Police Inspector Hugh O’Toole resigned and now works as a lawyer at a Kemptville legal firm. On January 10, 2024, spectators at the internal disciplinary hearing of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus were shocked when defense lawyers alleged that Inspector Hugh O’Toole that day committed criminal offenses against Grus, including… – Intimidation of a Witness – Obstruction of Justice
Detective Grus had been scheduled to testify that day for the first time in her defense. Her lawyers told Hearing Officer Chris Renwick that shortly before Grus was due to take the witness stand Inspector O’Toole sent her a criminally threatening email. The lawyers read parts of the email into the court record documenting how O’Toole threatened Grus that if she testified about certain evidence and used certain exhibits,
Professional Standards would re-investigate her with the obvious penalty of additional charges. Outrage in the Court Defense counsels Bath-Shéba van den Berg and Blair Ector were outraged and put the facts onto the record. In almost 50 years in and around the courts, this reporter has never witnessed anything like we saw at the Grus hearing on January 10-11, 2024.

(Suggest:  go to the URL to view.)

Commission Counsel anticipate that Mr. Van Huigenbos will provide the following
evidence if he is called as a witness at the public hearings:

Background
• Mr. Van Huigenbos is originally from Holland. He has lived in Alberta since 1996.
• Mr. Van Huigenbos is a councilor on Fort Macleod’s town council. He became an
unofficial spokesperson for the Coutts protest.
Origins of the Protest: January 29 and 30, 2022
• The Coutts protest commenced as a slow roll convoy on January 29, 2022. Mr.
Van Huigenbos joined on that day.
• The slow roll convoy participants included individuals from different parts of
Alberta. They gathered in different communities, including Fort Mcleod, Vulcan
and Lethbridge, and then drove to Coutts because it is a main commercial border
point in Alberta.
• The slow roll convoy did not have designated leaders. The participants generally
understood, through some social media posts, that the plan was to converge on
the highway and drive down to Coutts. In Coutts, the convoy intended to turn
around and head back up to Milk River, but the size of it was not anticipated and
when they arrived in Coutts, they were unable to turn around due to traffic.
• The RCMP was on site when the slow roll convoy arrived.
• The slow roll became entrenched in Coutts in or around January 29 and 30,
meaning that the vehicles that participated in the slow roll parked on the side of
the highway and planned to stay.
• Three or four individuals became the unofficial spokespersons for the Coutts
protesters. Mr. Van Huigenbos was the main unofficial spokesperson.
• Once the slow roll became a traffic jam and the vehicles were entrenched, the
protesters self-regulated to ensure that the protest could continue peacefully. For
example, there was an unwritten code of conduct that ensured compliance with
traffic laws and prohibited other conduct, like public drinking.
Protest and Police Activity: January 31 to February 13, 2022
• On or around Monday, January 31, the RCMP began mobilizing in Coutts. Hotels
in Lethbridge were booked up by officers, sheriff buses began arriving, and many
officers started to gather north of Coutts.
• On or around Tuesday, February 1, the RCMP started enforcement efforts by
knocking on the windows of vehicles parked at the tail end or the northern point of
the Coutts protest, and asking the drivers to move their vehicles. They succeeded
in getting some vehicles to move. The RCMP also put up a blockade on the
2
highway to prevent the Coutts protest from growing. The RCMP wanted to prevent
individuals who had gathered in Milk River from joining the Coutts protesters.
• A second protest became entrenched in Milk River. This protest was much larger
than the Coutts protest, particularly during the weekends. It was also less
organized. There was no apparent leadership or structure. The Milk River
protesters and the Coutts protesters were two different groups.
• At one point on or around February 1, individuals broke through the RCMP
blockade. The RCMP responded by reinforcing the blockade with buses and
barricades.
• On or around the same day, the RCMP’s enforcement approach caused the
protest to escalate, and the protesters and RCMP officers had a stand-off, meaning
that the officers attempted enforcement while the protesters stood in a line some
distance away.
• The stand-off ended after the RCMP officers ceased their enforcement efforts and
there was a meeting at the Smugglers Saloon in Coutts between two Sergeants
from the Airdrie RCMP, Sergeants Tulloch and Switzer, and the protesters. There
were side discussions between the RCMP Sergeants and Mr. Van Huigenbos,
where they established a line of communication to ensure safety and prevent any
escalation on either side. Mr. Van Huigenbos was designated as the main point of
contact for the RCMP Sergeants.
• This line of communication was largely successful: protesters were able to
negotiate with the RCMP to organize the movement of trucks off the highway,
which opened lanes of the highway for traffic coming to and from the port of entry,
cattle, emergency and other vehicles. The protesters also ensured that emergency
vehicles had access to and from Coutts. However, there was one event that
occurred on or around February 12, where an accidental breakdown in
communication lead to the RCMP disabling and damaging three excavators that
the Coutts protesters had erected to fly flags.
The Protest Ends: February 14 and 15, 2022
• The Coutts protest remained peaceful. Negotiations with the RCMP continued until
February 13.
• At approximately 7:45 pm on February 13, the RCMP tactical unit arrived in and
around Smugglers Saloon due to what Mr. Van Huigenbos believes was an
incorrectly perceived risk assessment when some of the tractors and vehicles were
turned on to ensure they were still operational, and some were moved. The RCMP
executed search warrants at approximately 11:00 p.m. at a house in the Two of
Coutts. This operation continued into the early hours of February 14.
• On February 15, the Coutts protesters dispersed and the RCMP cleared out the
area.
3
Relationships with Other Protesters
• Mr. Van Huigenbos was not part of a bigger group or political/ideological
organization. He participated to protest against the COVID-19 public health
measures implemented by the Government of Alberta and the Federal
Government, which impacted his business and his family. He also participated to
protest against the lack of engagement by Government of Alberta officials with
their constituents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The other spokespersons and participants were similarly not part of a bigger
group or political/ideological organization. They participated in the protest
because of the impact that the COVID-19 public health measures had on their
lives and livelihoods, and the lack of engagement by government officials.
• Many of the spokespersons and participants did not know each other prior to the
protest.
• The Coutts protesters had no connection with other protests occurring in Canada.
• The Coutts protest was not organized in tandem with or through any other protest
groups.
Funding and Donations
• Mr. Van Huigenbos was not actively involved in fundraising. The Coutts protesters
received mostly donations in the form of fuel and food. They also received some
monetary donations, potentially through crowdfunding and also through a donation
jar at the Smugglers Saloon, from Canadians who supported the Freedom convoy.
These donations were used for fuel and to rent the Smugglers Saloon.
Social Media
• The Coutts protesters communicated primarily in person and messaging apps,
such as Telegram and Whatsapp.
Engagement from the Government of Alberta
• Government of Alberta officials did not open lines of communication with the
protesters.
• The Coutts protest could have been dispersed if Government of Alberta officials
would have opened lines of communications and/or agreed to negotiate and sit
down with the spokespersons and participants.

Inquiry into Coutts court proceedings.

 

Lavigne was hosting a podcast with Coutts participant Marco Van Huigenbos and Alberta political commentator MartyUpNorth, when Carbert called Van Huigenbos to check in, as he regularly does.

Carbert stayed on the line for about 10 minutes discussing court proceedings and Premier Danielle Smith’s agreement to launch an inquiry after the court processes have been finalized.

Carbert has been in remand for 921 days from charges laid February 14, 2022 at the Alberta-Montana border blockade at Coutts, the same day Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unlawfully ordered the War Measures Act (Emergencies Act) to crackdown on peaceful COVID-19 mandates protestors.

He was charged with conspiracy to kill an RCMP officer, as was Anthony Olienick, who is also being held in remand. The court ruled Carbert and Olienick not guilty on August 2, but Crown prosecutors have since appealed the ruling and demanded a retrial.

The court ruled both are guilty on lesser charges, of mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and Olienick for possessing an explosive. Sentencing will be next week. The men confirmed Thursday evening Carbert and Olienick will appear in court August 26, 27, 29, 30.

On Monday, the judge will examine how the jury came up with their decision and the Crown and defence lawyers will have an opportunity to add their opinions. Tuesday is the decision on that, said Van Huigenbos. Thursday arguments for sentencing will be heard, and Friday is the sentencing.

It is unknown if Justice David Labrenz will issue a decision on Friday, or if he will defer his decision.

Later in Carbert’s appearance on the call, Lavigne mentioned the Coutts boys’ supporters asked Smith about launching an inquiry around “the crime-fraud envelope, the trials themselves, and the Crown prosecutions’ involvement in all that.”

The crime-fraud envelope refers to sealed documents that allegedly holds information that could be incriminating to the Crown. Very little information about the envelope has been made public.

Smith said she is open to an inquiry after all legal proceedings have been completed,” noted Van Huigenbos.

“I think once they find out a little bit more information — if they can ever get that envelope open —- I think most people will be surprised about the things that are happening in our judicial system and inside our federal policing agency,” said Carbert.

“I think there needs to be an inquiry, because I don’t want other people to go through this like I did, or Tony did, or the other two guys.”

Children’s Health Defense founder Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today suspended his independent campaign for U.S. president but will remain on the ballot in most states. He said he will join forces with former President Donald Trump to work together on “existential issues” where the two are aligned.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy said that following discussions with former President Donald Trump, he has agreed to join forces with Trump in a unity party, which will allow the two to work together on “existential issues,” including ending the war on Ukraine, censorship and the childhood chronic disease epidemic.

“I believe I have a moral obligation to use this opportunity to save millions of children,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy, founder and chairman on leave from Children’s Health Defense — whose campaign defied the odds by gathering more than 1 million signatures in a drive to get on the ballot in all 50 states — said he will remain on the ballot except in a handful of battleground states.

Kennedy delivered a scathing rebuke to the Democratic Party and the DNC, which he said “dragged us into court, state after state after state” in a campaign of “legal warfare” to keep him off the ballot.

He promised that if Trump is elected, in addition to ending chronic disease in children, he will work with Trump to clean up corrupt agencies and the “corrupt food system.”

Kennedy said he reached out to the Harris campaign in an attempt to engage them on issues he believes are critical to the country’s future, but the campaign didn’t respond.

Calling it a difficult choice to join the Trump campaign Kennedy said, “I have the certainty that this is what I’m meant to do. … Ultimately the only thing that will save our country and our children is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other.”

 

Kennedy launched his campaign on April 20, 2023, with a nearly two-hour speech in Boston, during which he vowed to reduce chronic disease in children.

He reminded the audience of the obligation America’s leaders have to protect children — from toxic pesticides, from dangerous pharmaceuticals and from the “corrupt merger of state and corporate power” that robs future generations of their health and of their ability to achieve financial security.

On Oct. 9, 2023, Kennedy said he would no longer challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president, announcing that he instead would run for president as an independent.

He told a crowd in Philadelphia that most Americans are tired of divisive politics and that they agree more than they disagree when it comes to issues like the environment, education and the economy.

“We agree that we want a clean environment and wholesome communities for our kids,” Kennedy said.

He accused both parties of being beholden to corporate donors.

Watch Kennedy’s address to the media:

In Lethbridge Court of King’s Bench, Crown prosecutor Steven Johnston and defence lawyer Katherin Beyak agreed the sentencing hearing would begin Aug. 26.   Four days are set aside. The first two days will involve a finding of facts heard in the case. After a one day break, it resumes Aug. 29.

Two of the co-accused (originally, the Coutts 4) were released on a plea deal, early February this year, 6 months ago.  A plea deal places information beyond public reach.  It’s a gag order.

Things happen for a reason.  There’s a pattern that emerges as more information sees the light of day.

(If you assume I am saying this in reference to the men in the Coutts trials, you are wrong.)

Sometimes weird behavior is as simple as someone’s act of desperation.

Or,  one desperate person “has the goods on” someone else.

The way the Mafia works.   In the darkness, it’s hard to discern the alleyways.

Where is the top of the heap?  Where did it start?

 

The Coutts 3, a different set of men:  Alex Van Herk, Marco Van Huigenbos, and George Janzen await sentencing.

“. . .  The sentencing has been complicated by the refusal of Van Huigenbos to be interviewed by a probation officer for the preparation of a pre-sentence report (PSR), which is used to inform judges’ decisions regarding sentencing. Van Huigenbos told Robert (Kraychik, Rebel Journalist) that the questions that Van Herk was asked in his PSR interview seemed too invasive, asking about political beliefs and religious practices. “He further told me that he has expectations that he will face more severe consequences — that’s his word — from the judge, given that his lack of compliance may be interpreted as intransigence.”

Opinion is divided on Marco’s position regarding the pre-sentence report  (not submitting one). I (Sandra speaking) respect his position.  He explains his views very well;  he knows the inside stories.  His actions have been informed, well thought out, even-handed, every step of the way, in spite of all.   He is an intelligent and honourable man.

Every step of the way he has been motivated by the well-being of others – – getting money to the families of the Coutts 4, for example.  Those working men were locked up, unable to provide for their families.  He had the advantage of not being locked up.  He spoke up, relentlessly.

I know Marco from listening to him on videos, and from one encounter in person.   Early on in the Coutts debacle, with his own trial off in the distance, I tried to support him with a financial contribution. His contribution to the public good is invaluable.  He would not accept my contribution;  the Coutts 4 needed the money more than he and his family did.  He requested,  please contribute to help them.

So, think about it:  Marco Van Huigenbos would view the prosecution of the Coutts 4 as foul play.  . . .  Right?

I searched the net and found “Unwarranted criminal prosecution”.

People argue  Marco should do this.  He should do that.

Yes, but.  Lawyers are expensive – – justice is far from free OR fast.  And you have to be able to counteract at least some of the propaganda, the “smearing”.  Marco is a young man, with a young family; he resigned the position of Town Councillor (Feb ’24);  he has a business to look after.

Canada is on trial, from top to bottom.  Covid brought it to a head.  Our will to break-the-back of Corruption is on trial.  Marco’s next step is up to him.   I support him.   No second-guessing and no pressure.
