Putin is blackmailing everyone in Canada ecept Trudeau. ‘I’m Not Amused’: Conservative Commentator Jordan Peterson Considering Defamation Suit Against Canadian PM Trudeau, Who Accused Him of Being Funded by Russian News Outlet RT by Paul Serran Oct. 19, 2024 5:40 pm 43 Comments Jordan Peterson and Justin Trudeau.With his political future on the line, ‘survivor’ Justin Trudeau unveiled a new psyop plan to overcome his terminal unpopularity and try to perpetuate himself in power with a third mandate as Canadian Prime Minister: he will cry ‘foreign intervention’ against every one of his foes. But not everyone will take it lying down: conservative commentator and media personality Jordan Peterson has reportedly said he’s considering legal action after Trudeau said this week that Peterson ‘is receiving funding from Russian state-owned media outlet RT’. Trudeau made the accusation under oath – no less – during his long testimony at the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference – but he did not corroborate his allegations with any evidence. Newsweek reported: “Trudeau made the allegation about [Tucker] Carlson and fellow conservative media personality Jordan Peterson while testifying at a public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday.” The unpopular leader was discussing alleged Russian influence in ‘spreading anti-vaccine messaging in the media and on social media’ during the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’, a protest against COVID-19 tyranny and insanity in Canada that Trudeau thwarted by using emergency powers in an illegal way. “’We have seen that anti-vax messages during the convoy, during the pandemic, were amplified by Russian propaganda, especially in the media of the right. […] We’ve recently seen that RT is currently funding bloggers and other YouTube personalities of the right, such as Jordan Peterson.” Peterson was way less than amused, and said that he has never taken Russian money, ‘not ever in the past and not now’. National Post reported: “’It’s a very serious accusation’, said Peterson, in a Thursday interview with the [National] Post. ‘You should have done your bloody homework and if you’re going to make accusations, you should have at least got them right. I don’t think it’s reasonable for the prime minister of the country to basically label me a traitor and I don’t find it amusing’. Peterson said he is looking into a defamation lawsuit against the prime minister, but said these lawsuits are often a ‘losing game’, even if he has a reasonable chance of winning it. ‘I know what lawsuits are like and they’re a pain, and I’m not interested in being burdened down with that sort of pain, practically speaking. But by the same token, how about you don’t defame me when you’re the prime minister, especially stupidly’, said Peterson.” Peterson is discussing with his family whether he has a moral obligation to go after Trudeau for defamation.

Bob Woodward is so full of it that we should be able to smell it through a computer monitor. Let's see Woodward's evidence - from a credible, original source. The source of his assertion: Himself. Bob Woodward. Woodward's alleged source, Dan Coats, according to Woodward, allegedly had a "secret belief," that Putin had something on Trump, but that his "secret belief," is, "unsupported by evidence." businessinsider.com thehill.com Based on that, most of the other media now is reporting Woodward's unsupported assertion about Coats' alleged unsupported "secret belief" (yes, an unsupported assertion of an unsupported, secret belief), as established fact -- all in the lead-up to Woodward's new book coming out next week. How would that play out in court -- unless, of course, it was to be used against Trump? Wake up America! We're being gaslighted again. For politics, and to promote Woodward's new book. And, as to Woodward's unequivocal praise for U.S. intelligence; if U.S. intelligence is so good, why does it repeatedly fail, even going so far as to support the baseless, debunked RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! hoax against Trump, promoted by Hillary, Strzok, Mueller's investigative team, Adam Schiff and other Democrats, and, of course,the "news media," all of which was ultimately shown to be a load of more cr*p? And now they're at it again and we're supposed to believe it. What would Woodward say about these "intelligence experts," who Brandon and his Secretary of State-to-be, Anthony Blinken, used to peddle false information to the American voters to interfere with (and, according to some surveys of actual voters, likely changed) the outcome of the 2020 election in order to beat Trump: nypost.com And, if U.S. intelligence as to Putin and the Kremlin is as thorough and accurate as Woodward claims, why didn't Brandon's U.S. intelligence network and advisors know Putin's precise plans as to Ukraine, leading up to the invasion and throughout the war? Brandon himself said he didn't know what Putin was going to do, and mumbled something about a response to more than a "minor incursion" by Putin. What happened to all that intel failure? Maybe U.S. intel failures are partly because our intel officials improperly spend U.S. government money and resources domestically to advance their own partisan domestic political agendas, including planting and promoting stories with their news media propagandists and cronies like Woodward and the major U.S. newspapers and networks. The American people have started to catch on.
