Monday updates:

*Trucker G (one of two main leaders) and Sasnak are LEAVING on Wednesday. Trucker G has been there since day one. Sasnak joined on day one, left for a few weeks to work, returned 2 days ago, and will be done with the convoy on Wednesday.

*Convoy meetings have been brief and infrequent. Thank dog for my secret group of trolls who help me keep track of rallies. I've listened to most rallies, but I couldn't handle listening to last night's rally.

*The convoy has NO PLACE to park tonight. Which means they have NO PLACE to camp tonight.

Most livestreamers stay in local hotels. Trucks typically have to remain at camp while all of the truckdriving livestreamers gets a ride to a hotel. It's the convoy caste system.

*Alex's Cadillac is about to be repossessed. He owns $3500 in back payments. He's begging for donations. He now says he's raised $900. He also needs an additional $1000 because his next payment is due in 2 weeks.

Just yesterday Alex told someone he could return to his job whenever he wants to. But "I don't want to go back to work."
Alex is the POS who wanted to hang bloody dolls near the Capitol building in Sacramento.

*Yes, Hagerstown is likely unprepared for the entire convoy to stay on it's property. Because the speedway now has weekend events, the convoy has been pushed to the back area. I don't think the entire convoy will fit in the back area.

*The other day Proud Boy Santa said the the convoy had a place scheduled for 3 weeks. They mentioned that the location was in West Virginia. It appears that arrangement fell through ... if such an arrangement was being made. The leaders lie about camping spots all the time.

*More vehicles have broken down. Proud Boy X-ray's truck drives sometimes but he has a lot of issues getting it from place to place. Last night he started running stop signs and stop lights because he was worried his pickup would stall and he wouldn't be able to get it started again.

But, some supporter is giving X-ray a pickup. It's either a loaner or it's a new pickup purchased for him to keep.

This is not surprising to me. X-ray is attractive and flirts like crazy. His middle-aged fan girls make disgusting sexual comments in his livestream chats. Seriously gross comments. They throw money at him. It is suspected that some hook up with him when the convoy stops nearby their town. I'd typically dismiss such gossip. I think there might be some truth to this gossip. But I'm not certain.

*Jackass Paul Revere is also broken down. Both he and X-ray might be stranded in OH.

*At least 4 people are now begging for new tires, including Trucker G. 2 of these folks are grifters who JUST joined the convoy.

*These parasites abandoned a vehicle with members in Montana. Their car broke down at a rest stop. Those ex-members are now panhandling at a Costco.

Friday morning, bright and early, ol' Wifehorn and I will be heading up there for a few days.

See ya there, convoy morons! :wave:
OMG! Do you plan to look for them on the beltway or in MD? Or maybe in DC?

I'm not sure you will. They'll either be occupying DC or siphoning diesel with garden hoses from real trucker’s trucks at truck stops.

So a guy drives a Caddy, is too good to go to work, but is $4500 in the hole on his payments including the next one (Pro tip, you need to make one every month, a job comes in handy) so he's begging for donations.

In a convoy where I am sure you could whoop up the crowd into frothing rage by going on about all the damn welfare moms living high on YOUR tax dollars. Dude, the only reason you ain't a Socialist is because we wouldn't have you. :oldman:

Bad news!

An antifa branch in Dallas has severely impacted our RWNJ defense system in the state of TX. Investigation into possible sabotage by enemy forces have started.





Thankfully all supplies of eggs on the east coast remain unaffected! Our Antifa branches in MD and DC are fully prepared to engage in defensive actions* as necessary when the convoy does whatever it's going to do wherever it decides to do it.

Finally, we have asked BLM to help us with our defenses should we need backup. They have agreed to be available 24/7 until the convoy threat has ended.

*East coast branches are awaiting permission from Soros, Gates, and Rothschild Inc to engage in offensive actions.

There are some disgruntled current and former convoy members on their Telegram channel. To wit, Santa.

Thank Dog for our pups! It's a relief to know that, should our DC or MD branches need additional backup for adequate defense, the pups are on notice!


Omg. I just realized that both leaders are leaving this week!

So, the convoy is losing the following truckers this week:
Trucker G (leader)
Sasnak
Mud Pig
Santa (leader)

Who's going to steer this freakshow? X-ray? Oreo? A mechanic?

Will the departure of Trucker G and Santa lead to the rapid disintegration of the convoy?

Are these the end times?

*All info for tonight and future days have been wiped from TPC website.

*TPC arrived at Hagerstown Speedway earlier today to be received by ... one fan with a flag.

* As I mentioned previously, multiple truckers, including all leaders, are leaving tomorrow (some might leave Thur).

*Only 2 convoy members entered DC and they attended only the pro-choice/anti-choice protests. Originally 3 planned to go to the protest. X-ray's new to him truck won't run and he isn't in MD yet.**

*NO ATTEMPT to "occupy DC" or to shut down a major driving route was attempted. Many truckers are afraid of losing their trucks if they do anything. Those driving cars typically just do what they're told to do. Without semis, the convoy simply can't "occupy DC" or shut down the beltway for a long period of time.

Does this mean that the convoy won't try to pull shit later this week? Well, technically, no. But with both leaders and at least 4-5 semis (includes leader's trucks) leaving tomorrow, I don't think there is anyone to organize such an action. The remaining truckers don't want to lose their semis.

*Several days ago the convoy announced that they had fuel money for 1.5 weeks. This announcement occurred before the size of the convoy doubled.

*Members of the convoy are very unhappy about their camp in Hagerstown. Previously the convoy stayed in the large front lot of the speedway. Alas, now they can camp only in the back lot. Iirc, that lot is much smaller. And this time the group is paying $500 per night to camp out in the boonies.

*There are no more rallies scheduled. As I mentioned yesterday, WYSIWIG was discussing some of his frustrations with the convoy’s recent lack of momentum. He mentioned that there were no more rallies. Someone in his chat "corrected" WYSIWIG, reminding him that a rally was scheduled for Tues evening. So, WYSIWIG "corrected" himself. I think WYSIWIG accidentally revealed that rallies were no longer going to happen.

*The leaders have said that they're going into DC only once; today was supposed to be that day. And leaders have repeatedly said that the convoy will not be circling the beltway this time. What else is there for the convoy to do?

*There was a small meeting last night amongst the leaders and a few other members. This might be nothing.

*The convoy is becoming infected with a new kind of parasite. New members are showing up only to ask for free car repairs and new tires a few days later. The grifters are being grifted.

*Another long-term member lost their vehicle today. He went for an early morning drive and accidentally hit a deer.

*Multiple breakdowns are happening everyday. It's so bad that, on saturday, the convoy was split into mini convoys because the convoy can't stay together and get to its destination. Vehicles break down or are in such poor condition that the convoy becomes paralyzed everyday.


But...

*The size of the convoy has increased significantly.

There are 17 semis, 1 fire truck, and 98 4-wheelers are at the speedway.

Alas, the convoy leaders are cruel enough to bring a lot of new members across the midwest only to drop this entire thing within 1-3 days of arriving in MD. Most new members joined in OH and IN.

*Truckers Grey Wolf and Black Wolf are coming to the speedway tomorrow. Not that this would change any decisions made by leaders.


**The convoy is full of parasites. One of the biggest parasites is X-ray. X-ray's truck died and was left behind 2 stops ago. An older couple decided to give X-ray their deceaced son's truck. The son was in the military and died while serving in 2003.

X-ray, convoy members, and everyone of X-ray's fans were thrilled.

Alas, their joy was short-lived. The donated truck had been sitting in storage since ... 2003. The truck drove for a little bit on Sat. It no longer runs well enough to drive. The convoy mechanics are unable to get the parts they need to fix the truck.

X-ray is ex-military. He is manipulating the couple quite cruelly. He and the soldier's mom stop at cemeteries to salute fallen soldiers. Vile.

Hmm. The rally is currently happening.

Tues night rally.

Tonight's theme: Fundamentalist Evangelical Revival!

*Opening speaker: Golden Chariot

-He recently had pelvis surgery because he fell off the fake firetruck.

-Car was totaled today after an accident with a deer.

-I'm not going to go into his stuff right now.


*Next speaker, Justin Wages. He's running for some local office.

-Our opponents keep saying there's nothing to protest. Well, Emergency Declaration, vaccination mandates.

-University of Maryland requires him to be vaxxed. He slides around and avoids getting vaxxed. Applied for religious exemptions. The HORROR. He was required to be tested TWICE A WEEK! He refused to test. He was threatened with suspension! He graduated.

-The Univ still has a mask mandate!!! (On campus. The Univ isn’t the gov, dumbass.)

-4 students at Annapolis won't be allowed to graduate unless they're vaccinated! They can't become commissioned officers because they can't graduate!

-See! There are still mandates!!


*Next speaker (married couple): MEDICAL TYRANNY!

-PLANDEMIC!

-Wife's father went into a nursing home in March 2020. He died of covid 30 days after being admitted.

-If lockdowns hasn't happenned, he wouldn’t have died!

-Many elderly people DIED in April 2020!!

-Then we started researching.

-We did everything we could, followed certain "protocols" to avoid infection. (No mention of masks. Or vaccination status. We can guess.)

We got covid. Had a non-western doctor treat us.

-Hubby had to be hospitalized. They called the hospital first to assert hubby's rights!

-Hubby. We have 1st amendment rights!****

-The hospital. Hubby didn’t want to go. He was in a fog!

-Short version of story.

-In ICU. They really pushed "their protocols"! I pushed back against ER doctor. Finally they admitted me.

-Pneumonia.

-I knew they would try to sneak stuff around me, or try to scare me into doing what they wanted!

-ER nurse whispered to him "you're doing the right thing". Nurse agreed that all my bullshit was a good thing! (NO nurse would have said this.)

-Covid ward.

-Every chance they could they told me I was going to die if I didn’t do what they said!!

-They were hiding stuff. They wouldn’t give us info about everything. (He implies that hospital healthcare providers used to give patients handouts about every drug and procedure. He's insane.)

-I had to make decisions based on what the dr said!! Informed consent!

-Every dr and specialist had a script to force my hand.

-They wanted permission to vent me if necessary.

-Oh, dear god. They wanted to give me cookies and milk. I'm diabetic! They were trying to weaken me!!

-They gave me a medication that I didn't know about.

-He took high doses of Ivermectin. Had to sneek it into the hospital.

-To hear their full story, watch "They tried to kill him" on Rumble.


*Next speaker: running for Board of Education, kindergarten teacher

-The convoy is giving hope and spreading info.

-CHILDREN!! Schools are trying to turn our kids into activists!!

-She was offended by her daughter's virtual ed curriculum.

-Do Something!!


*Next speaker: voter integrity

-Mike Lindell is going to save our country!!!

--I'm skipping this. We all know the "fraudulent election" speaking points.


*Next speaker: Jonathan Jakes, running for congress.

-Typical political RWNJ stuff


*Next speaker: Rusty the coffee guy


*Next speaker: Back from the dead twice Bryant


*Next speaker: Trucker G

-When Trump was in office, trucks allowed on Constitutional Avenue for 3 weeks. (I don’t know what that's about.) Trump rode in a truck.

-I’ve covered Trucker G too may times. I'm skipping ahead.

-PATRIOTIC POETRY

-I'm here for THE CHILDREN!

-Everytime the gov talks about oil, fuel costs skyrocket.


*Audience question: Where are the politicians and are they going to join us in DC?

-Trucker G. That's on them.


*Next speaker. He's a trucker.

-How y'all doing? A somewhat loud yeah!

-FREEDUMB!!!!

-Are you ready to go home? A few voices say no. Very few voices.

-Thank yous.

-We looked at multiple spots for camp. And here we are at Hagerstown. (Speaker knows members are NOT happy with the camp location.)

-Whenever we go to DC, there are speeches a few days later in the Rose Garden about how wonderful truckers are. (LOL. Yep. Biden hosted a few truckers when the convoy was in DC. I'm sure that was in response to the convoy!! And there was only one Rose Garden speech.)

-We need to go into DC and TAKE IT BACK.

-1.5 months ago we asked people if they wanted to go to CA. Y'all know what happened. And WE'RE BACK!

-Are you involved in state/local level? So many are saying that TPC motivated them to get active locally.

-They're watching.

-Plan local convoys, protests, etc. You have the power!


*Next speaker. Proud Boy Santa

-They said we wouldn't be back. Well here we are.

-Rambling about bible stuff about violence.

-David and Goliath.

-God told me to be here.

-We need men of honor to stand up!

-Your liberties are being stripped from you! Your gov hates you and is taking your money!

-More crap about "perversions" in DC. (Santa is fixated on anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric.)


*Person introducing the final speaker:

-"We need our children in the womb."


*Final speaker. Yep. He's a pastor.

-I'm not your typical ordained minister. When I was ordained I had a vision. Bloody hands. He saw everyone all over the world in all of time who lived under horrible govs.

-SCREAMING: "STAND UP. (Over and over.)


*Passing the collection plate.


*Proud Boy Santa on tomorrow's plans.

-Convoy tomorrow. Not the "real one".

-Santa is trying to make arrangements to go into DC. He says that Wed isn’t "the" day.

-Santa won't say what the unofficial convoy is going to do except that they aren't going into DC.



****All speakers are being extremely careful about their presentation so that yourube won't pull videos of the rally and then penalize the channel's owner.

I saw an upcoming video notification on YT about the group that collects donations for TPC might not be working with them anymore.

I just checked the AFCLF website. The convoy isn't on any of it's pages.

I can't find a search function on the AFCLF site. The only way to access any info about TPC on AFCLF's site it to Google the two together, such as afclf convoy.

When I Google the group and convoy, I got an old TPC website page from when the convoy was in Sacramento.

I just checked TPC donation link. It goes to the AFCLF's donation page which has no mention of the convoy.

Hmmmm.

The AFCLF confirmed that they are not working with TPC.

From WaPo
How is the convoy funded?
As the People’s Convoy traveled across the country and rallied in Hagerstown, it claimed to have amassed more than $1.7 million in donations. That amount was collected by the American Foundation for Civil Liberties and Freedom and has increased to $1.89 million, according to the convoy’s website.

Christopher Marston, who is listed in the foundation’s incorporation paperwork as its president, secretary and treasurer, said in March that about 90 percent of the contributions were from small donors — people hearing about the convoy online, or through news or friends — with most financial contributions being no more than $1,000.

At the time, he estimated that when the convoy first traveled across the country, fuel costs were about $50,000 to $70,000 a day. While the convoy was in the D.C. region, daily fuel costs were about $30,000, Marston previously said. There are also other costs associated with the convoy, he said, such as lodging, renting the speedway and security.

On Tuesday, Marston wrote that the AFCLF stepped away from assisting the convoy with advocacy about a month ago and will be ceasing its financial work with the group within a week.Marston said the AFCLF is only disbursing the remainder of the funds raised.and said that “not much funding remains from what was raised.”
AFCLF received 10% of all donations raised from TPC's website.

While in DC the first time, leaders paid for a plush RV and for security. Only leaders, at that time Brian, Mike, and maybe Marcus, stayed in the RV. When the convoy left DC for CA, the plush RV was returned to the rental company.

During this time, most with the convoy stayed in tents; MD was wet and very cold. The convoy has always had a caste system.

During their first stay in MD, the convoy paid for "security". No one outside of the convoy knows why security was needed.

Approximately 5 days ago leaders announced that the group has fuel money for 1.5 weeks (now less than a week). That matches the timing of the distribution of the final check from AFCLF late this week. Based on my tracking, and guesstimate from the convoy's website, I estimate that amount to be less than $1500.

Convoy leaders did receive cash and check donations directly from their adoring fans during stops. There is no info about how much was raised that way.

Livestreamers fundraised during their daily livestreams, which often stream for 12+ hours per day. All money raised during livestreams went directly into the livestreamer's pocket. That money was NEVER shared with the convoy.

I wonder if the convoy regrets that arrangement now?
