Notable Quotes

“Freedom convoy truckers are warning nefarious elements may try to plant weapons in a false flag, stolen weapons nonetheless, after 11 people were arrested with a weapons cache. They're trying everything they can to stop this group of protesters. Doesn't seem to be working.”

— Tim Pool · opening story introduction

“I don't know about all that false flag stuff, conspiracy stuff, but I will say they're trying everything in their power to shut this down.”

— Tim Pool · main discussion about Freedom Convoy

“From the very get-go, what's been happening in Canada is just completely slanderous. I mean, they've been calling them domestic terrorists. They've been calling them a threat. They've been calling them insurrectionists. It's like the same buzzwords you see across the entire board.”

— Drew Hernandez · guest perspective on government response

“The slander is not sticking, right? So at this point, they have to make these people look violent. And I think they would probably resort to any means in order to do that.”

— Tim Pool · analysis of government strategy

“I think Alec Baldwin killed that woman. I don't think it may have been accidental, but I think it may have been just a fit of rage. Something ain't right there.”

— Tim Pool · discussion of Alec Baldwin lawsuit
