Oh, wait, that’s the Canadian version. What are you on aboot?
I’d be scared for Klepper’s safety visiting the USian version.

In most cases, Klepper’s work is hard for me to watch, but re his past and hopefully upcoming interviews with those pathetic truck convoy people, I will accept his gifts.

No wrap. No ribbons.

So that’s a few of us, now, awaiting his next video edition of this ongoing madness.

Oh heck yeah, I’ve been worried about his safety for years now.

Stopped at a checkpoint every couple miles due to “anonymous tips” that the vehicles in the Cult Parade had illegal drugs, alcohol, guns, or other contraband or that some of the people in the Cult Parade were wanted for questioning about their participation in the January 6th insurrection?

A group of counter-protesters who drive just ahead of the Cult Parade and buy out all the gas from service stations along the way (or just occupy the pumps for long enough for the Cult Parade to get annoyed and leave?)

Sneak a decoy vehicle into the Cult Parade that then leads them to take a wrong turn? If done in the correct place, causing the Cult Parade to miss one exit on a highway, that could take them on a detour of several (dozen?) miles. [As an example, in one place in Massachusetts missing an exit on the Mass Pike would mean 30 or so miles of driving before the next exit after which you’d get back on the Pike and drive 30 or so miles back.]

That was my little Nazi/Volkswagen (etc.) joke, not a reference to modern Germany.

Shouldn’t the convoy be driving Landmasters then?

Landmaster

Yes, of course. How stupid of modern Germans to not get these little “fascists speak German” jokes.

Sorry, I thought the fact that the Canadian group was marching around with literal swastika flags might have helped make the connection to historic Nazis to make the joke work, but I’m often wrong about these things. Sometimes my jokes unintentionally turn out to have an audience of one.

I smell a scam since this garbage opens wallets as fast as “a help me buy bibles for (any third world country) children” plea.

I also find it droll to see a right wing group calling itself "People’s anything.

Mind you they are getting harder to tell from Maoists and Stalinists.

It’s been quite profitable for GiveSendGo, which charges a 3% processing fee and an opt-out 10% “tip” per donation.
