$8 Million Dollars Frozen for Freedom Convoy Demonstration on GoFundMe Alternative Platform.

On Thursday, the government of Ontario, Canada, won a court order freezing almost US$8 million in contributions sent to the Freedom Convoy through the GiveSendGo portal.

According to a statement from Premier Doug Ford’s office, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered that any donations made through the Christian fundraising platform’s “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt a trucker” campaigns be frozen until further notice.

The application for the restraint order was filed by Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey, who used 490.8 of the Criminal Code as justification for freezing the cash, according to the statement.

The decree “binds any and all persons with possession or control over these donations,” according to Ivana Yelich, the premier’s spokesperson.

In an apparent response to the court decision, GiveSendGo tweeted on Twitter, “Know this!” Canada has absolutely ZERO authority over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo.”

“All money for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo pass directly to the recipients of those campaigns, including The Freedom Convoy campaign,” it continues.

The Epoch Times spoke with John Carpay, president of the legal organization Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is assisting the Freedom Convoy organizers with legal advice.

The protest began as a protest by truckers against the federal government’s need that cross-border truck drivers get vaccinated in late January, but has since grown into a huge movement involving people from all over Canada who are opposed to various COVID-19 mandates and limitations.

On Jan. 29, vehicle convoys arrived in Ottawa, and many have remained in the city, with trucks and other vehicles parked near Parliament Hill. Various protest convoys have been organized in various locations of Canada since then.

Protesters in Ottawa have stated that they will not leave unless COVID-19 regulations are lifted.

More than $8 million had been gathered through GoFundMe before the site announced on February 4 that it would cease payments and instead send the money to charity, only to reverse course on February 5 and announce that the monies would be automatically reimbursed to donors.

Following the GoFundMe announcements, protest convoy organizers put up a GiveSendGo fundraising called “Freedom Convoy 2022.”

Several Republican lawmakers in the United States have expressed worry about GoFundMe’s withholding of donations for the trucker protest.

It goes without saying that corporations are heavily invested in their own respective political agendas. With that being said it’s no surprise that this has happened; GoFundMe has lost plenty of users due to it’s shortsighted grab of the freedom convoy’s money, and has now been identified as part of the opposing force against the fundamental human rights granted to us by God. Make no mistake, freedom loving citizens world wide will die for their freedom. The question remains, are these tyrannical globalist sell outs willing to risk their lives to carry out their agenda. If you’d like to donate to the freedom convoy set to take place in D.C, the link to the GiveSendGo campaign can be found here. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

On February 4, the Winter Olympics opened in Beijing, with delegates from 23 countries in attendance. Five Central Asian state officials were among those who arrived after China pledged a $500 million donation.

In an attempt to persuade the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan to attend the Games, Beijing offered lucrative economic deals. 

In a video conference on Jan. 25, Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to import more of their products and provide 50 million COVID-19 vaccine shots to Central Asian countries. Xi also announced that China would provide $500 million and train 5,000 people in various businesses over the next three years, as well as provide 1,200 scholarships over the next five years.

According to the UK Independent, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the Games’ opening ceremony to offer his support, despite being caught on camera dozing off and slumped in a chair.

“It must have cost more money for the Chinese authorities to have Russian President Vladimir Putin attend the ceremony.” According to Zhong, it only serves one purpose: propaganda.

Putin came in Beijing on February 4 and met with Xi before to the opening ceremony of the Olympics. During the meeting, Putin announced new oil and gas transactions worth an estimated $117.5 billion between Russia and China. China also agreed to acquire more wheat and other Russian exports in the future.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Argentine President Alberto Fernández, Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso, Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly Park Byeong-seug, and Thai Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn were among the other leaders and state representatives who attended the opening ceremony.

During the Games, Beijing has found it difficult to conceal its human rights violations from the world stage.

Over the Chinese regime’s human rights record, certain countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, have imposed diplomatic boycotts.

According to reports from official agents, non-governmental organizations, Western media outlets, and Chinese dissidents, the Chinese regime has persecuted and imprisoned millions of people belonging to ethnic minorities and religious groups, including Muslim Uyghurs and Falun Gong adherents, as well as dissidents and petitioners who have spoken out against Beijing’s abuses. These crimes are incompatible with the Olympic spirit.

According to the official website of the International Olympic Committee, “The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play,”

In November of last year, Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai accused former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. Peng’s whereabouts and safety have become a worldwide worry since then.

During the Olympics, Beijing deployed rigorous COVID measures. For example, all passengers flying to China must pass a drug test before boarding the plane.

According to China’s state-run media, roughly 308 international athletes and supporting officials, such as coaches, who arrived in Beijing between Jan. 23 and Feb. 3 tested positive for COVID-19 and were confined in hospitals or quarantine centers. Contact tracing was also carried out on them. Athletes were unable to train because their close friends were not allowed to attend the Games. Kim Meylemans, a Belgian skeleton athlete, is one of the so-called close connections. Those who were granted access to the Olympic village must still submit to a COVID test on a daily basis.

Dr. Sean Lin, a microbiologist and former laboratory director at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 31 that “false positives are not excluded.” “A virus-free athlete can test positive due to inaccuracy in testing.”

The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games began on February 4 and will end on February 20. They will be held in three zones: Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou.

Every last one of the individuals experiencing discomfort with the conditions during the Beijing winter olympics are either painfully ignorant to global affairs, or chose to attend based on their own twisted political/ideological preferences. The Chinese communist party is making too much of a ruckus for people to not notice their wrongdoings.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who pays attention to global politics that this is happening. However, one could speculate and say that tensions across the board are running higher than ever for the Chinese Communist Party. Something has got to give, America is no longer able to turn a blind eye from Xi’s power-trip due to the rapid spread of information in this digital age.

We’ve got a long road ahead of us but through faith in the birth and ressurection of Jesus Christ we’re saved. 1 Peter 4:12-14 says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.
