Still believe Calgary protests are peaceful?

Not so much!

Not since Calgary police began enforcing the public health edict for masks and for gatherings.

Pair this violent Calgary protest with this opinion piece.

Is it any wonder that “liberty” ideologues are rebelling against Public Health Measures after the premier gave them every indication their freedom was superior to everyone else’s right to life?

We have evidence that Kenney is instigating STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.

This is what Trump is currently using to effect a coup in the US.

Maybe a journalist can ask Kenney why he stoked the ire of far right immediately prior to ordering a lockdown?

As Albertans, we are unfamiliar with the tactics used by fascists. Albertans are naive to subterfuge and sedition.

Stochastic terrorism is common in eastern European nations. Russia & Al Qaida use these tactics all the time, but with much more regularity, brutality & deaths.
Here’s an article from 2011. Spelling out the process of creating a “missile” or “lone wolf” by appealing to those individuals who are mentally unstable. Experts have known how stochastic terrorism works for well over a decade.

https://t.co/zo1vkIoSXC
What has changed more recently is the ability to single out those with mental instability through digital surveillance.

In the documentary “People You May Know,” it reveals extremist evangelicals are using aggregated data to pinpoint & locate individuals with vulnerabilities.
Those individuals are then bombarded with propaganda, recruited by evangelical proselytizers and shaped into far right voters.

So what stops politicians from using this technology to produce “lone wolves?”

Nothing.

https://t.co/oR9m0GnLSs
In fact there is evidence that this is precisely what is happening.

Human futures and the predictability of human behaviour is bought and sold as a commodity. An individual suffering from mental instability can be identified using aggregate data.

https://t.co/xREFS3rBPl
The only thing missing is health data. Current databases of personal data can predict mental instability with great accuracy.

So what would bad actors need health data, if already available data can predict mental instability? Save that for later.
UCP very recently passed bill 46 in the middle of the night. Within hours it had received Royal Assent. What was the urgency to pass this legislation, with minimal feedback from opposition?

Concerns were flagged by the Privacy Commissioner and Opposition MLAs.
Personal health data of Albertans can now legally be shared outside of Alberta. Little can be done to address breaches of privacy. By allowing entities that reside outside of Alberta to access Netcare information, the security of personal health data is compromised.
It’s no secret that UCP is moving towards virtual healthcare to augment and possibly replace the current primary care model in Alberta.

That includes providing access to Netcare to digitally based physician services.

Telus Health Babylon now has access to Netcare data.
So there is no need to replace physicians who are moving out of Alberta. Telus Health Babylon now has access to patients’ personal health information.

A primary care physician is not required to be a resident of Alberta to practice in Alberta. They can live anywhere in Canada.
Of course they would be subject to their own jurisdiction’s health data privacy legislation. Breaches are impossible to regulate with this legislation.

What stops physicians outside AB from breaching data privacy? Ethics.

That’s it.

AB privacy legislation wouldn’t apply.
So let’s go back to the question about why this was so urgently needed to be passed by UCP in the middle of the night, and why bad actors would need health data, if the capacity already exists to ferret them out using AI analysis.
COVid has created mentally unstable individuals. Many more. Those with identified mental health issues may be receiving supports (meds, counselling), but many more remain unidentified and are struggling independent of the healthcare system.
Who’s more vulnerable? Those receiving healthcare treatment and support? Or those living with mental instability & have no treatment or support?

Why would it be urgent to pass a bill in the dead of night, while COVid is raging & new mandates are being enforced?
When you answer those questions, it reveals Kenney’s intent and strategy. Kenney is implementing Trump’s strategy to effect a shift in power (a coup). He’s already in control of Alberta. So what jurisdiction could he be hoping to impact?
In the lead up to the second COVid wave, Kenney and UCP MLAs routinely criticized everyone who advocated for a lockdown, or even a mask mandate. Opposition MLAs, physicians, Dr. Tam, community members. Kenney advocated for liberty over lives.
Several times Kenney has equated livelihoods with actual human lives. Giving priority to individual freedom over collective security. Refusing to temporarily lockdown high risk businesses and preferring to preserve their right to profit.
Still inadequate, he finally changed his tune about a mask mandate, and imposed stricter measures to aid in stemming the spread of COVid. Banning all gatherings and making masks mandatory.

His liberty loving base is apoplectic. JCCF has filed a law suit.
And now we are seeing people connected to Rebel News, Keean Bexte, and the valuation of liberty over public safety, revolt against the public health orders. Threaten further challenges to put liberty above health safety.
And, since we DO NOT live in an information vacuum, this is entirely consistent with the actions occurring in the US. It’s also consistent with UK actions. Funny that huh?

https://t.co/iNmm6hudRO

You see, Q’Anon is a global death cult. Consistency in narrative is key.
There are no coincidences in this scenario. Like Trump, Kenney delayed public health action for as long as possible. At the same time, feeding red meat to his radicalized extremist support base made up of Dominionists and hard core libertarians who many also happen to be Q’Anon.
In the US, it’s resulted in plots to kidnap and murder governors who impose public health mandates. In the UK a new health data contract with Palantir.

Kenney is following a strategic plan to permanently undermine democracy.

Why do you think CPC covets power so desperately?

As we wait for the transition of power from despot to democrat, Facebook (Zuckerberg) has taken it upon itself to aid in the obstruction of that power transfer, facilitation of an insurrection narrative and disregard for the will of the American electorate.


In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.

Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.

As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.

Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.

Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.

And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.

As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.

An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.
This was exactly what I was about to write a thread warning about.

A change in leadership in the US at the executive level does not alter the Republican Senators and Congress representatives. A few of whom are implicated in January 6, 2020 insurrection.


There will be a strong urge to forget the danger and the corruption.

After a long period of extended fear, terror and daily assaults on political and social norms, many will want to forget and move forward.

But we cannot take our eyes off those out to dismantle democracy.

Those breathing a sigh of relief, tomorrow this all resumes again in the US. It’s only temporarily paused in the US and correspondingly in Canada.

The urge to move on is strong. Resist it. Celebrate victories and achievements, but DO NOT walk away and forget.

Canadian conservative politicians are tightly connected to many of the Republican traitors who attacked the Capitol Jan 6.

None of them are going to give up. They’ll regroup. They’ll reorganize.

In the mean time, we are all required to stay alert. There is much to do.

The far right has let their agenda be known. They want to end democracy in US and in Canada. That goal is not off the table.

They will continue to pursue this agenda.

Yesterday 12 National Guard members were removed from service.
This is one of the most important threads I’ve read in the last year. Maybe more.

@PaulDoroshenko hits the ball out of the park!

This is exactly what we need to do.

And remember, Harper stacked public service with loyalists. RCMP, judiciary, senate, government departments.


We need Denazification in Canada too!

There can be no tolerance for intolerance.

Many are opining about free speech. In Canada we have freedom of expression and it comes with some caveats. Harmful hate speech is not free.

We have been inundated with hate speech for decades.

It must stop. We must remove the fascists from power and eradicate the platforms they use to build support.

I’ve taught both my children by age 9 what fascism is and what it looks like. I can be done.

School based education is a must to nullify hatred.

But what about the adults? First we remove the ability to indoctrinate through the internet. Mainstream media needs to be purged of nazi sympathizers. And the internet needs regulation. Because some people cannot be trusted to refrain from hate speech.

You got a problem with restrictions on speech, take a look at the US where any form of speech is free. Lying, disinformation, promotion of hatred and psychological manipulation propaganda. And the result is January 6, 2021 attempted “patriot” insurrection.

Hi @officestudents @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Equality and Diversity section of your job application has 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

However...

1/15


However, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.

2/15


You then ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:

Male
Female.

Again, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology, but you don't ask for that.

https://t.co/CEJ0gkr6nF

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
