Tim Snyder has 340,000 subscribers on Substack. He is one of dozens of Trump Derangement Substackers making millions from broken brain boomers. Of course none of them thought it was fascist when Canada trampled protestors with horses and froze their bank accounts for standing up against the vax mandates...
I read that the Canadian tanks had to be pulled to the frontlines with horses ,because they would not start .The next shipment of Canadian tanks will be electric with a long cable running back to the wind mills making power .
At the end of the 1960s, the main battle tank of the Canadian Army was the Centurion. Canada had owned these since the Korean War in 1955. These tanks were used as a primary part of Canada's NATO commitment to Germany and part of Canada's military contingent stationed there.
However by the 1970s, the Centurions were obsolete. At that point, Canada bought German-made Leopard I's. They were eventually retired in 1977 and replaced with Leopard 2's. This new purchase took place in 2007 specifically for Canada's military deployment to Afghanistan.
Canada needs none of that crap . The Russians are not coming and the chines want to trade and do business .All weapons are money down the drain . How many invasions did Canada experience ?? Only one big one that is still in progress ,done and paid for by our own government thru robbing money from us through taxation .Taxation is not stealing it is robbery ,because it is done with force . Migrants fill the country that all building and housing projects can never solve . The flood of migrants is much greater than all housing building projects combined .None of any building is done for Canadians ,none ,it's all for someone from the other side of the world ,who will never be Canadians .
But Joe, the Parti Québecois well win the 26 election and hold a referendum in 27 or 28. You know what they’re going to point to: us , Anglo Canada and say that is what is coming for us. Quebec is going to separate from Canada. It’s an easy sale.
Quite right! During the Winnipeg workers strike The Colonial Administration (Dictatorship) brought out the machine guns and mowed down the workers.
That ideology and Imperial connection is still in place, obviously, and Dr [sic] Meat (Carney) is just the man to implement it. The good news is that the bridges over the St Lawrence and Detroit rivers have been built to carry tanks... one way.
Canadians may find rescue and relief from British Tyranny finally, if the US cavalry fully take the North American continent. Something they should have done long ago.
It is quite amazing that the natural outcome has been delayed for so long!
And not one of these “protectors of democracy” were concerned when we started lobbing high tech missiles at Moscow, risking a nuclear conflict - but now they have grave concerns about everything - lunacy at its finest.
Must be a lot of broken Boomer brains. There's a public health Substack (Your Local Epidemologist) with 360K readers and the content there is vomit-inducing. Nothing but straight up Covid revisionism or, worse, acting as if the last five years didn't happen at all. Lots of measles porn and fluoride fan-girling. The gutting of the US HHS prompted quite the martyrdom post.
I did not look at Snyder and am grateful for the knowledge of his perfidy but I did look at Stanley;
A brief search on Jason Stanley and his much-mentioned (by him) "Jacob Urovsky" [ Professorship of Philosophy] claim-to-fame, reveals two interesting things:
1. A 'Jacob Urovsky' (alt spelling: Jakov Yurovsky, born: Yankel Khaimovich) led the murders of the Romanov family and their friends in Ipatiev House. Yankel was a CHEKA executioner with a license to kill summarily throughout the Red Terror in Russia. He was also, for a time in charge of the Gold Reserve held by the Western-funded Bolshevik regime-change-operation in Russia in 1917.
2. The 'Yale' Urovsky's connection to the Jacob Urovsky above is hard to establish as the record says (I paraphrase) : 'little is known of the origins and history' of the illustrious and prominent Professor of Philosophy, Urovsky, in the Yale, or any, records.
But it is a matter of fact that the primarily Jewish Bolsheviks, beginning with Leon Trotsky (born Bronstein), travelled freely between Russia, later the USSR, and the USA in most decades. Finally, a huge influx arrived as "Free Soviet Jews" in 1989. Some estimate the number as being almost 6 million. Some were actors in, or children and grandchildren of actors in, the more than half-century of terror and genocide inflicted by Jews on the indigenous Slavic population of Russia and the USSR.
I also found the following and wondered why the self-martyr and self-promoter, Stanley, did not brag about it in all his cringey videos. He has deep connections to Nazi Ukraine!

So, "Timothy Snyder and Jason Stanley are emigrating to Canada caused a stir at the weekend – with Stanley justifying this by saying that he wanted to raise his children in a country “that is not heading towards a fascist dictatorship.”
I hope that statement was tongue-in-cheek. I am from Canadahar... pardon me, Canada and it already IS a fascist dictatorship. In fact, one dictator just appointed his top advisor while he takes a break doing dope, counting his stolen money and buggering boys in the privacy of his mansions.
In spite of that, I wish Stanley and Snyder would stay home because they seem exactly the kind of unconscious shitheads that ruined Canada in the first place.
When you are the one with the boot firmly placed on someone’s neck, that is not fascism. Facism is in fact having leaders that don’t align with your political beliefs, therefore forcing you to take said boot off of said persons neck.
But Franz you forget Canada is a big place ,and the tuo might migrate to Ellesmere island north west of Greenland that has a population of. O so far ,that means the population would increase by two Stanley and Snyder
They would leave the smelly city only if forced. Real trees, (not theoretical ones) freak these people out. Nah! They are headed for the Liberal state fortress and welfare feeding trough in the two only cities in Canadahar. Toronto and Toronto (pronounced ‘Trauma’).
"RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland, or RND, is a Hamburg-based lunatic asylum masquerading as a media enterprise, and they are very, very worried about our friends the Americans."
----------
Tell 'em we’re fine! Restored from the dead, in fact. Blood’s fresh-flowing in our veins. Trump was the clot-buster we hoped for during our time in the underground caverns. Come on over! Always room for one more at the Seder table!
Herr Kopp does bear a striking resemblance to Count Dracula. Maybe he's not from an alternate universe but from another century and he's looking for a steady supply of fresh hot migrant blood. I hear it's spicier than the German kind.
I lived in Germany 46 years until 2016. Then starting 2015 all the crazyness started when the German government let in all the immigrants.
I still have family living there. They say everything is spiraling down. So sad to see. Loved living and working there. I do not think I will go back to live there though.
Yes, my girlfriends brother, who has lived in Berlin for 16 years, recently called her to prepare things so he can flee, with his wife & son, if & when things spiral out of control. The poor guy is very worried.
That headline is a huge LOL. Apparently any possible 'run aways' aren't paying attention. They are arresting people in Germany for telling the truth - calling fat politicians fat!
I am extremely curious on what basis an American citizen could be granted asylum in the EU. I’ve never seen any reporting on this. We’ve had two US military deserters claim asylum (both unsuccessfully I believe), but otherwise i can’t imagine what the arguments would be.
Until this year, I thought white males had a case, though why they’d want to flee to anywhere in northwestern Europe or Canada (my “country”) is a BIG mystery. …or Australia, or NZ, …
I nearly spat out my drink at "Hamburg-based lunatic asylum masquerading as a media enterprise" - LOL. Rare for us Brits to be exposed to actual funny Germans.
Personally, I'd be over the moon if Trump opened the USA to European asylum seekers.
Sebastian Vettel on Top Gear was always very funny. Henning Wehn also takes on the stereotype we Brits have of Germans. After that, not so many other German comedians make it over here.
I know one american hardcore greenie couple desperately trying to get jobs in germany because they love german social policies. I also know a dozen germans who are either considering studying in the states, or trying to get jobs there because career prospects for highly skilled engineers are so much better in the USA.
So by my tally, you're getting a few american flunky idealogues in exchange for your best and brightest. It reminds me of the brain drain in the 1930s when the brilliant german physicists fled to america and ended up building nuclear weapons that saved the free world and rockets that created global unity on a mission to the moon.
I'm sorry that you're once again getting the raw end of this exchange.
Eugyppius, so happy to hear someone who’s comfortable calling a spade a spade. Your command of the word “retard” is exceptional! Thank you for your little essays: I eagerly look forward to them!!
An April Fool's day post would say that AfD has won a landslide and formed the government. Oh wait, that would immediately be labeled 'misinformation' and would land you in jail.
I have been spending the last week looking up the legal process for renouncing German citizenship and forwarding the links to my young adult, dual American/German citizen children, and urging them to seriously consider doing so before military conscription in Germany is reintroduced and they might be sent to fight for "democracy" in Ukraine. I used to think that was a laughably ridiculous scenario, but with the recent moves in Romania, France, nothing seems off the table anymore. The anti-Russia fear porn and pro-militarization propaganda sprouting up everywhere just sickens me.
Very amusing. Unfortunately, this is not an “April-April” joke. I wrote a bunch of stuff, but did an edit, as my reply was anything but concise or succinct.
I can say that I have been coming to Germany since 1979, and it was better before they tore down the wall.
At 06.00, on 17. September, I will have lived in Germany for 20 years. Back then, when I applied for a Visa, I joked that I was seeking asylum from Bush. It didn't fly.
Now, I really am considering moving back to the USA. A customer at the shop called me aside. He's a retired (English) Chemistry teacher. We spoke in hushed tones, and he asked me what I thought about what was going on in the USA. I tried to demur, and avoid an answer when he said, “Es ist erfrischend.” (It's refreshing.) We had a short talk, so it's not everyone here who is blinded by the vomit spewed by the German Media. I just wonder how many actual Germans there are, though.
Back in Trump's first term, I was working as a Carpenter. Back then, anyone who was in the trades saw what he was trying to do. Now I am working as a mechanic at a small shop doing custom tuning on old cars. I just try to keep my head down and get through the day. Sadly, I have to do the same thing at home to keep the piece.
I was never “homesick” before. Even with “Mutti,” I didn't care until she opened the gates to the Muslim hoards. 1400 years of beating them back, and she and the leftists welcomed them in.
The Greens killed the Economic motor of Europe, and no one seems to care. Scholz was a powerless dim-bulb, clueless to find the rudder and a clear path. Now there is the Janus, Merz. Talking out of both sides of his face, and I went almost apoplectic with his move to remove the debt brake. No one seems to notice or care.
There is only the hysteria of “Putin is going to attack Germany next.”
No. I can't move back to the farm in PA. I gave up my birthright, and my brother owns it now. Sadly, I have roots here, a grandchild on the way, and a son in the K-9 division in the German Police.
Unless something drastic happens, Germany and Europe are doomed. Sadly, no one who has any influence seems to care.
So much for being succinct. Thanks for your patience.
It's how it is, sad to say. The founder of the shop where I work is absolutely overboard with French and France. To speak of Le Penn would be unthinkable. Both brothers have had TDS since I worked there. So no. I just keep my head down, and keep quiet. Sadly, I have to do the same at home as well.
Sadly, yes. My German wife only gets her news from the German Media. I don't talk politics with the kids, but I think my oldest son (whose in the German Police) might be better informed. My oldest daughter is expecting, and her man and family are from down in Speyer, and I think they share my conservative views, but we met his family a week ago, and we avoided talking religion or politics.
Sending you good thoughts. It is the same for much of my family here in BlueNewYork - so energy consuming to balance a need to live truth with the need to stay connected to our family. Some days my anger at powers who sows this division threatens to overwhelm me. Personally, our split began with the vax injury of my then 9 yr old son in 2019. To this day there are still those who say " he was always like that" and suggested that my suspicion of covid response was insane or criminal. But with an aging father, I do not want to cut myself off and leave him at the mercy of a TDS environment.
I have to respectfully disagree. The folks from the other side were not the crazies. I know a few from the “other” side. Granted, one of them was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she said: “things were not that bad.” This was before the film “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Who's_Back_(film)”
No, the tearing down of the wall took the leash off the crazies in the east.

That’s not fascism!! That’s inclusivity.
Forced inclusivity
Inclusivity ??? ... 🤔🤔🤔
Well, sharing the row in a Gazan mass-grave is highly inclusive ...
The Canadian protesters where lucky that Canada has no tanks ,that's why Trudeau could only use horses .
Canada had tanks. It gave them to Ukraine to be demolished.
I read that the Canadian tanks had to be pulled to the frontlines with horses ,because they would not start .The next shipment of Canadian tanks will be electric with a long cable running back to the wind mills making power .
Where they German made tanks ,of so I did not know Canada had German WUNDER WAFFEN

Ah yes. The Centurions were steam powered as I recall.
There was actual talk about bringing in tanks from the safety minister at the time. Probably couldn’t find a working one hence the horses.
Mendicino you mean, brought back by Carney. He said he was just joking remember?
Whenever a liberal is talking they are lying.
Yup consummate narcissistic liars, all of them!
Quite right! During the Winnipeg workers strike The Colonial Administration (Dictatorship) brought out the machine guns and mowed down the workers.

Thanks for remembering and supporting our truckers and protest for freedom from the covid tyranny.
And not one of these “protectors of democracy” were concerned when we started lobbing high tech missiles at Moscow, risking a nuclear conflict - but now they have grave concerns about everything - lunacy at its finest.
His millions are paying for me to be free to make no money at all.

My liberal Canadian relatives treat the trucker protest like it was their January 6.
But I didn't think that the Canadian truckers was a false flag FBI-instigated riot like J6.

Exactly - they see what they want to see.
I went to school with a Tim Snyder. The one I know is very positive about Germany. Could you provide a link to this substack?
Cause nothing speaks freedom like forced jabs and jailing folks for speech and memes like in Germany.
Normaly after reading bad news ,I through Molotove coctails ,but today ,the news is sooo bad ,I have decided to drink them instead .

Imagine how grieved I was to learn you'd recently flown home from Boston.
alas, that was a flight from before the pandemic. i have not been to US (or really out of Germany/CH/Austria) since like 2018.

Another American here. We really are fine. Never been better, in fact! The RND is hilarious. They ought to come over and have a look.
Well, we the people without borderline personality disorders are fine. Imagine if everyone took their vitamins and had a nice burger once a week.
It's certainly possible that vegans are destroying the world because they always feel so lousy.
I’ve often read about alternate universes, but I had no idea two could coexist in the same space time continuum. Herr Kopp has proved they can.
Herr Kopp does bear a striking resemblance to Count Dracula. Maybe he's not from an alternate universe but from another century and he's looking for a steady supply of fresh hot migrant blood. I hear it's spicier than the German kind.
Kopp means cup in Swedish, so if I could cut&paste the image so he's flanked by a girl on either side, we'd get:
Two girls, one Kopp.

Sorry! Honestly!
I've worked as part of a sanitation crew, the kind that cleans up after nasty accidents and such, so I'm completely inured to such stuff.
"The day you saw that clip, it was the worst day in your life, but for me, it was Tuesday!" you might say.
i don't know if watching that was the worst day in my life, but I definitely will never forget it!

Funny enough we have the same thing going on here. Where there is a lot of hype in the media around transgenders seeking asylum in the Netherlands because of Trump. A Dutch public funded media outlet even interviewed an openly marxist transgender in the U.S. about him/her/wtf willing to go to the Netherlands. https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/amp/amerikaanse-transgenders-voelen-zich-niet-veilig-en-willen-naar-nederland-beleid-van-donald-trump-is-angstaanjagend/
“him/her/wtf”. Made me laugh out loud! Thank you!!
No problem and of course keep fighting against the tide 👌🏻
That headline is a huge LOL. Apparently any possible 'run aways' aren't paying attention. They are arresting people in Germany for telling the truth - calling fat politicians fat!
It's probably safer to call them smelly.
Please save a space for me, eugyppius. I am willing to convert to Islam, if that will help.
Can you also go trans? That would help a lot.
Best I can do is dye my hair green.
“The overall asylum recognition rate [for American applicants] rose from 3.8 to 12.5%”
Lol. what is that-one more asylum application granted? Two?
Sounds like a real crisis.
I am extremely curious on what basis an American citizen could be granted asylum in the EU. I’ve never seen any reporting on this. We’ve had two US military deserters claim asylum (both unsuccessfully I believe), but otherwise i can’t imagine what the arguments would be.
maybe they claim structural racial oppression or something.
I hear if you say the words "Trump" and "fascism" at the asylum interview, they will let you in.
Until this year, I thought white males had a case, though why they’d want to flee to anywhere in northwestern Europe or Canada (my “country”) is a BIG mystery. …or Australia, or NZ, …
People facing extradition for murder in jurisdictions with capital punishment.
There's gotta be an easier way, friend.

Personally, I'd be over the moon if Trump opened the USA to European asylum seekers.
German humor is actually really funny, but watch out. It’s so dry and sarcastic it makes British humor look like American slapstick comedy.
Sebastian Vettel on Top Gear was always very funny. Henning Wehn also takes on the stereotype we Brits have of Germans. After that, not so many other German comedians make it over here.

Eugyppius, if I had not been reading you for some time, and so know you a little, I would seriously suspect this is a 01 April post.
The other reason I suspect it might not be, is "you cannot make this stuff up".
Is the perceived influx of desperate refugees from Amerika being used to justify open borders?
How did I miss the April Fool's possibility? Things are too weird for it to be implausible though; you are correct.
If you are a black American ,the border in Germany is open for you ,you will fit in better with the ones already there .
An April Fool's day post would say that AfD has won a landslide and formed the government. Oh wait, that would immediately be labeled 'misinformation' and would land you in jail.

I have been spending the last week looking up the legal process for renouncing German citizenship and forwarding the links to my young adult, dual American/German citizen children, and urging them to seriously consider doing so before military conscription in Germany is reintroduced and they might be sent to fight for "democracy" in Ukraine. I used to think that was a laughably ridiculous scenario, but with the recent moves in Romania, France, nothing seems off the table anymore.

Granted, one of them was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she said: “things were not that bad.” This was before the film “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Who's_Back_(film)”
No, the tearing down of the wall took the leash off the crazies in the east.
Was your final word meant to be "west?" Otherwise, your post appears self-contradictory to me and I cannot understand it.
It might have been a typo. East and West Germany. I meant the DDR, which would have been East Germany. Sorry.
Same here – then I believe we are saying exactly the same thing.
My sympathies.
