Retroactive Crime
February 24, 2022
(left, extremist committed the crime of patriotism and wanting to be free)
Recently Canadians were exposed to retroactive crime.
This is when a legal act is deemed illegal retroactively.
Donating to the trucker protest was legal. The Emergency Measures Act made it illegal retroactively.
Consider the implications. Anything you do or say on social media can be held against you at a later date. This is the Talmudist's wet dream: total control over everyone.
This has a chilling effect on so-called free societies!
The rogue government of Canada stole millions of dollars of legal donations, and then froze millions more! This after squandering billions and forcing millions of people to inject potentially lethal "vaccines."

Wednesday, Fidelito lifted the emergency decree but said any donation made during the ten days of the Emergencies Act will still be investigated.
https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/02/https-westernstandardonline-com-2022-02-report-trudeau-set-to-revoke-emergencies-act-wednesday-afternoon/Government officials said earlier this week that about 206 accounts, holding a total of $7.8-million, were frozen using the emergency measures, most of which were identified as having ties to organizers of the protests or owners of vehicles used to block roads.
Canada's banks have since unfrozen most accounts belonging to customers who were linked to illegal blockades, according to the Canadian Bankers Association. Dozens of people tied to the protests had access to financial services cut off last week under emergency powers enacted to pressure protesters to leave downtown Ottawa.

Thousands of Canadians who donated to the Freedom Convoy must have held their breath when they logged on to their bank accounts.
Have they been denied access to their savings? To their means of sustenance?
Canadian politician Mark Strahl on Feb. 20 claimed that a single mom with a minimum wage job had her bank account frozen after she "legally" donated $50 to the Freedom Convoy.
"Briane is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job," Strahl wrote on Twitter on Feb. 20. "She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn't participated in any other way. Her bank account has now been frozen. This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders."

Her bank account has now been frozen. This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders."
A cash donation of as little as $20 to the Freedom Convoy could get your bank account frozen, if it was done after the protest was declared an illegal assembly on Feb. 15, says Blacklock's Reporter.
The Department of Finance disclosed on Tuesday that banks have frozen nearly $8 million in accounts held by Freedom Convoy truckers.
"It would be unlikely that someone who gave $20 three weeks ago or even $20 post-February 15 would have been captured by a freeze," said Isabelle Jacques, assistant deputy finance minister.
"It's not impossible."
Testifying at the Commons finance committee, Jacques said millions' worth of savings had been frozen.
"To my knowledge, it is over 206 accounts and the total value, the latest number I have, was approximately $7.8 million," said Jacques.
"We know those accounts are personal and commercial accounts. It's a mixture of the two."
"It could be a savings account, a chequing account, a mortgage?" asked Conservative MP Adam Chambers (Simcoe North, Ont.).
"That's accurate," replied Jacques.
"If someone gave $20 to the Freedom Convoy through a crowd sourcing platform they could have their bank account frozen?" asked Conservative MP Philip Lawrence (Northumberland-Peterborough South, Ont.).
"If that person gave the money after February 15 it is possible," replied Jacques.
"I think that would be in rare circumstances."
"But not impossible?" asked MP Lawrence.

CRIMINALIZING GOOD CITIZENS
A central Saskatchewan farmer had his bank accounts frozen by Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank after he donated $500 to the Freedom Convoy.The farmer spoke to the Western Standard on the condition of anonymity because he does not want to suffer additional repercussions.
After the Freedom Convoy's original crowd funding site, GoFundMe, was shut down Feb. 4, he donated to GiveSendGo. The second crowdfunding site was hacked and private donors doxxed.
Days later, he discovered his personal and business accounts were frozen after he tried to send two wires on the same day, one for equipment and one for property.
He said "red flags went up" after TD Bank notified him the transfers were held up and he started investigating what was going on.
"All of a sudden everything was frozen. I couldn't do an e-transfers, I couldn't pay bills online."
He then went into his local branch to speak to someone in person. "I said what's going on? They (wouldn't) tell (me) anything. It's all dictated from Toronto."
The farmer has hired a lawyer to resolve the issue because "I gotta run a business" but to date the bank has given his lawyer the runaround.
Out of desperation, the farmer is using other means to pay bills.
"I've been using (a close relative's) account and I borrowed some money from a friend (otherwise) we'd be in big trouble."
He said the whole situation has made him feel powerless.
"I don't actually know where to go (for help). It just is such a helpless feeling to have no access to funding or your money."
He said he hasn't told very many people what happened to him because he doesn't know who his friends are anymore in this "cut and divide world."
"I can't believe people are so naïve and are unable to see the truth...what's going on with (this) communist agenda."
The farmer said Canadians should care about what happened to him because "this is just the start of what's going on. They're going to monitor everybody's bank accounts and we have no freedoms anymore."
The Western Standard asked the farmer if he was financing terrorism in Canada.
"Definitely not. The donation was for fuel or hotel rooms or whatever. A peaceful protest was what it was supposed to be, and then they bring in UN cops or wherever they came from. We don't know."
"It's very scary to me. Yeah, it is. scary enough. Thinking about selling and moving away out of Canada."
All Canadians have had a demonstration of the Chinese Communist social credit system.

First Comment from Connie-
Dear Henry - This is a message to my fellow Canadians - All Canadians
need to remove any money from ALL banks immediately. As we no longer
have control over our bank accounts this is imperative. Now that Canada
is a communist dicktatorship I fully expect to see our illegal
government bring in foreign troops to seize Canada and invade the US
from the north. Remember our dicktator has previously secretly brought
in Chinese troops to Canada. No sense in leaving any monies in the bank
to fund the communist take over of Canada.

Be careful not to send unnecessary messages or information that goes against the law and morals. Avoid sharing sensitive information with your friends and family;
It is very important to pass this message TODAY because starting tomorrow there will be another form of surveillance in the country, incredible but correct.
Pass it on to all your loved ones and friends today. Just in case it is good not to doubt because this month 40 starlinks satellites went up to the top floor.
So... silence....
