The below is straight from Rebel News in mail. I encourage you to subscribe to Rebel and even send them your support. A win against a technocrat will reverberate in their satanic halls of worship. Imagine the howling now! Oh why, didn't we sprinkle the money around. Didn't we spread tax payer money like sparkles in June? Oh why…
Dig in and enjoy.
“I just got out of the Federal Court of Canada building in Toronto.
We've been fighting them for two years — ever since the Liberals banned me from receiving government updates via the Twitter account of Steven Guilbeault, Trudeau's environment minister.
I'm not talking about his personal account — I'm not interested in his family photos or anything like that. I'm talking about his government account, run by dozens of civil servants, paid for by taxpayers, where he publishes important government information, makes announcements and interacts with citizens.
As a citizen, a taxpayer and a journalist, I have every right to see that.
And if you think it's a petty thing to sue over, let me ask you this: if Trudeau and Guilbeault (each of whom had their own team of lawyers in court today) can keep the power to blacklist people they don't like from receiving government announcements on Twitter, what other, more important services will they apply their blacklist to?
Business licences? EI or CPP payments? Getting a passport?
Or even having a bank account?
It's not a hypothetical question: Trudeau revealed his authoritarian nature when he invoked martial law against the trucker convoy, jailing peaceful protesters and seizing hundreds of bank accounts without a trial.
That's what this lawsuit is about.
It's about setting the precedent that Trudeau and Guilbeault cannot discriminate against citizens they don't like when it comes to civil rights and government services.
And they want to set exactly the opposite precedent.
But here's the good news: today we had a win.
“Incredibly, Guilbeault has argued that his Twitter account is actually not a government account — even though it is operated by two dozen civil servants. So today, we sought to introduce proof that Guilbeault had his Twitter account officially certified as a government account by Twitter itself, as shown by a little grey "government verification" checkmark next to his name.
You would have thought that such a fact would be unremarkable — but both Trudeau's and Guilbeault's lawyers vociferously opposed that evidence being used in the trial. It was really quite bizarre. His Twitter account literally says it's a government account right on it. All we wanted to do was show a picture of it as evidence. And they panicked and tried everything they could to stop it.
Well, the judge took a 20-minute break and did some legal research. When he came back, he ruled that the grey Twitter checkmark was indeed admissible — in fact, it could be very important to the case to prove that the Twitter account was a government service, and thus couldn't be used to punish citizens like me.
It might not sound like a big win, but watching the government lawyers desperately try to stop it tells me that it was a big win, indeed.
(Those lawyers immediately said that they needed a lot more time to prepare their case, so the main trial has been delayed a few months.)
So the war continues — but we won an important battle today.
I promise we'll keep on fighting against Trudeau and Guilbeault, not just in the court of public opinion, but also in the court of law.
Someone's got to. Because if they're going after Rebel News today, odds are they're going after you tomorrow.

P.S. The government had seven lawyers in court today — I estimate they've spent $500,000 trying to uphold their power to punish citizens on their blacklist. That's how important they think this battle is. That tells me we'd better treat it seriously, too.
P.P.S. We can't afford seven lawyers (and we don't need seven). But we have two, and they're great. Unlike Trudeau, we can't take taxpayer money to fight our battles — we need to crowdfund it.

Woot! Woot! Now please fly your nation's flags. That matters. Put them everywhere. Lean in. And practice hope. If we all work at this and mostly gratis. How can we lose. They need money and alcolates and favorable wiwiwiwiikipedia profiles. Naaah. We just love our neighbors and our nation and believe in freedom. And for some of us God.
I have a big video to share in 2 days and I hope you help make it viral. Lots going on behind the scenes.
Thanks for this- the line between public and private, government and corporations, has been horribly blurred, and used to hurt and kill us. I am so glad this judge was able to see that.
