The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a bulletin warning that right-wing trucker convoys may begin to disrupt major activities and events here in the U.S., including Sunday's Super Bowl in Los Angeles. The right-wing trucker disruption in Canada by a small minority over the past few weeks is threatening to spread to like-minded thugs in the U.S., urged on by reckless political fascists like Cancun Ted Cruz and the Malignant Loser. According to CNN's report:
"'The convoy will potentially begin in California as early as mid-February and arrive in Washington, DC, as late as mid-March, potentially impacting the Super Bowl LVI scheduled for 13 February and the State of the Union Address scheduled for 1 March,' the bulletin said.
'While there are currently no indications of planned violence, if hundreds of trucks converge in a major metropolitan city, the potential exists to severely disrupt transportation, federal government operations, commercial facilities, and emergency services through gridlock and potential counterprotests.'"
Don't think they won't try it here, like a January 6 on 16 wheels. DHS and law enforcement need to have countermeasures ready to confront them if that happens.
Internationally, the well-coordinated right-wing trucker demonstrations may be looking at more difficulties if they choose to try to shut Paris down, as their lawless counterparts in Canada are doing in Ottawa and elsewhere. From the Associated Press:
"Paris police on Thursday banned road blockades threatened by groups organizing online against COVID-19 restrictions, in part inspired by protesters in Canada.
Citing 'risks of trouble to public order,' the Paris police department banned protests aimed at 'blocking the capital' from Friday through Monday. Police will put measures in place to protect roads and detain violators.
Blocking traffic can lead to two years in prison, 4,500 euros (more than $5,000) in fines and a suspended driver’s license, the police department said in a statement."
The right-wing trucker community worldwide has been actively planning for disruptions using on- line forums, as they use anti-vaxx sentiment as a unifying but bogus cause, with the takedown of elected governments a prime objective. The French component has urged their followers to converge on Paris tomorrow evening, and to move on the European Union capital of Brussels next Monday. New Zealand is also facing disruption from their right-wing truckers. We all need to be ready for them, and to make sure their sabotage backfires.
