I write the following article with no inference of support for what the Russian government is doing in the Ukraine. I have to spell this out lest someone uses this as a tool to mark me as some Russian sympathiser and uses it to deplatform me or denigrate my opinions.
The number of measures taken by the West against Russia is unprecedented... or is it?
The sanctions against Russia have moved far from the usual removal of trade and access to finance for the country or government, but is now extended to individuals loosely connected to the government.
Private Citizen's Bank accounts have been frozen, superyachts and private airplanes seized, insurance cancelled, Russian Sports people have been thrown out of competitions, Russian backed or owned teams, with no connection to the Russian government and not financed by them have been thrown out of competitions. For instance the G-Drive team have been thrown out of the World Endurance Championship.
It's ridiculous, especially when the individuals involved have no connection to the Russian Government. It's unprecedented, because previously sanctions have only ever been used against government ministers, not independent private individuals.
But don't think this strategy is new or limited to a few millionaires. Western governments are using this newly introduced tool of financial blackmail against people in their own countries that protest against government policies.
Literally a couple of Weeks ago, we saw members of the Ottawa Truck Convoy Protest have their Bank accounts Frozen, be Threatened with having their insurance cancelled and having their children taken away from them.
A Cafe owner that dared to go against the Local Government in Ottawa and served Truckers has had his business closed down. He's been given notice to quit.
These authoritarian measures have only recently started to be used as a tool to induce compliance. They are unprecedented against national governments and ministers, let alone individual citizens.
So, where are they coming from? The World Economic Forum.
The people behind the great reset are the people now behind the overreach of the Western Governments. Canada is the first to push the boundary against it's own citizens, because the majority of the Canadian cabinet have links to or are members of the WEF. Klaus Swab, the founder of the WEF has stated publicly in interviews that the majority of the Canadian cabinet are members of the WEF.
And I thought Common Purpose was a threat to Western freedom.
The WEF seems to have a more direct affect on democracy and the rights of individuals in the West.
Freezing bank accounts of people you disagree with is fundamentally wrong. In the West we have the right to protest, the right to air grievances in public. This is not a right that any Western government has the authority to deny.
But here we are. Private Russian individuals with no connection to the Russian government are having their bank accounts frozen and their assets seized by Western governments, under no lawful or legal authority. And no-one is challenging this egregious act of illegality and immorality.
It will come to you next, mark my words. Compliance will be required or you will have your money and assets removed from you. It's happened to protesters in Canada. Other Western governments will use the same template for "inconvenient" individuals.
Protest at your peril.
