Canadian government used disinformation to invoke the “Emergencies Act” in 2022, and then shared it with other “Five Eyes” nations
"...These abuses of power have included censorship efforts by the US Department of Homeland Security and British military; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) entrapment schemes; and FBI and Secret Service involvement in January 6, 2021 pipe bomb disinformation.
Now, a months-long Public investigation reveals that the Canadian government used disinformation to crack down on the “Freedom Convoy” protest, led by truckers demanding an end to Covid-19 vaccine mandates, in February 2022.

Phalanx CIWS?
The Phalanx CIWS (SEE-wiz) is an automated gun-basedclose-in weapon system to defend military watercraft automatically against incoming threats such as aircraft, missiles, and small boats.
What this means is that the Houthi cruise missile got past our most sophisticated defenses and had to be taken down by the destroyer’s last ditch defense system.
Count on this—nobody wants to have to take down a cruise missile with a “close-in weapon system.”...
