Global News Questions Me

Give Rachel a chance

We can’t complain that mainstream media mis-represents or doesn’t provide an accurate account of who we are or what we say, if we don’t answer their questions when they ask. They rarely do, but in this case Rachel Gilmore did ask some questions. I did my best to answer them. They are not simple, straightforward questions and this is a very complex and fluid situation.

Below is my reply.

Your move, Rachel.

Hello Rachel,

I'm aware of who you are after that unfortunately very ill informed and slanderous story you published. However, I am a reasonable person and will give you the benefit of the doubt since you at least took the time to write to me.

There is no simple, 'just add water' answer to these questions. I will give you an honest answer, though it will take some time and probably beyond my brevity skill level to keep as concise as I would like.

"Two extremism and anti-hate researchers I have spoken to are concerned that your livestreams could incite Canadians to commit violent acts."

These "researchers" are in fact government funded partisan actors. The Canadian Anti Hate Network and its cohorts have engaged in a tabloid, kafka-esque smear campaign of myself since its inception in 2018 by Bernie Farber and Evan Balgord. The CAHN receives Government funding and grants, as well as generous donations from former and current State officials such as Gerald Butts ($10,000) for example.

They have intentionally mis represented me as a Neo Nazi, Racist and "Militia Commander" which I find exceptionally hilarious - as this was my intent to expose them. All of these claims are demonstrably false, and they have been under legal advice to be much more careful with their language as of late.

As far as other "experts" like those working at TSAS creating reports read by Senators in the Red Chamber and MPs in the House claiming that I am attempting to create a race war and build a "white ethno state" are beyond absurd, and criminally slanderous.

Peoples lives and families have been threatened, as well as education and careers terminated as a result of these malicious, demonstrable lies.

If you are sincere in wanting to know more about what "Diagolon" is, I would direct you to this http://diagolon.org/video/index.html and observe some of these testimonials from Canadians that explain in their own words what it means to them, as well as my letter to the Senate and House (that was entirely ignored, as were calls) on the main page.

"They said they understand that the concept of “Diagolon” is a joke. However, they worry about the repeated insistence in your livestreams that political institutions are not to be trusted and that the political elite has Canada on a path towards societal collapse."

"Diagolon" is and was a humorous attempt at amusement. Many of the 'scary' photos I'm sure you've seen were in fact deliberately created and uploaded by myself to antagonize the CAHN into going overboard - which they have done to a degree that far exceeded my expectations.

Interesting they've changed their rhetoric from violent, far right militia with designs on overthrowing all of North America to a "joke". Odd that prestigious "experts" could have this much latitude in acceptable conclusions, isn't it ?

As for their comments, it is well within the rights of all Canadians to have a public opinion on the conduct of the institutions our tax money pays for. Recent polling in North America has established that trust in Government and Media are at historic lows. Is that my doing ? Or is it poor policy, gas lighting and deliberate avoidance of reality that has created public mistrust ? It is no more appropriate to assign blame to me for this situation we find ourselves in, than the violinist on the Titanic or a smoke detector for sounding an alarm.

If my opinions and thoughts are so ill-founded and preposterous, why is there a concerted effort to silence myself and others that share my feelings? Am I to believe that I'm in possession of some form of black magic that has simply 'brainwashed' and tricked all of these people? Or is it more likely that I am a pressure valve and representation of a portion of the Canadian public that is being ignored?

The Picton pig farm, Robert Dziekanski, Portipique massacre, the entire Residential School fiasco - but I am somehow at fault for pointing out in very clear terms that these institutions are frequently corrupt and failing the public? WE Charity, SNC Lavalin, JW Raybould, "should we tolerate these people", runaway inflation and consumer cost of living etc. The political elite has without a doubt failed this country routinely, and rather than look in the mirror at the quagmire they have created, they point to critics and whistleblowers as the root of the issue.

I think it speaks very poorly about organizations such as CAHN and others, that use government funds to try and stifle and silence opinions of those they don't agree with. I am simply an independent citizen and entertainer that uses my Bill of Rights protected speech to express myself. Canada has well established laws regarding verbal threats. The problem here, is that our radical, mentally ill left wing seeks to implement legal mechanisms to outlaw its opposition by stoking fear in the public through organizations such as CAHN to achieve political objectives.

"Giving your listeners this lens through which to view their problems could prompt them to take action against the political institutions they come to believe are at the heart of their problems, these two experts worry – and they use the Diagolon patches found at Coutts as an example of this."

Again, if these "experts" who can't seem to decide between a joke and an existential threat to the nation warranting the brother of the War Measures Act then I would suggest they are far from qualified to make these assertions. I'd also question their mental stability and grip on reality.

Further, they are deliberately misrepresenting the situation. My podcast and online content presence has reached millions in Canada, the United States and abroad. This is the same kind of knee jerk reaction that caused Marilyn Manson to astonishingly have to address Americans seeking to blame his music for the actions of two mass murderers in Columbine, Colorado.

When Islamic terrorists with ties to ISIS, large stores of illicit fentanyl and weapons run down pedestrians in Toronto the media will turn a blind eye to an uncomfortable reality. Meanwhile, someone creates home made patches of a fictional place because they are fans of a podcast and that somehow becomes the foundation of a national conspiracy to overthrow not only the Canadian Government but also Washington. Absurd isn't strong enough of a word. Did they check the trucks seized for Metallica or Johhny Cash CDs? Both artists have made political statements in the past, perhaps they should be questioned on their involvement in Coutts?

I find it interesting that "experts" on violent ideologies choose to focus on myself and people very loosely, or not at all related to me while simultaneously ignoring incidents of political terrorism like David Zegerac (Antifa member) who in a vehicle deliberately ran down four people in Winnipeg demonstrating in support of the Trucker convoy. Again, I would suggest these people are politically motivated, dishonest or at the very least, grotesquely incompetent and not to be taken seriously.

"Do you think your livestreams could push listeners to taking aggressive action against political institutions?"

I believe, much to the chagrin of radical left wing ideologues, that personal accountability and responsibility are fundamentally crucial in being an adult. Each of us, and us alone are responsible for our own individual choices and actions. If my outward expression of my beliefs, fears, joys and humor are subject to being policed for "threats", then you must accept that every form of medium is capable of the same. Books, movies, television, music, artwork down to interpretive dance could be considered to 'influence' someone's thought patterns. Or are we to live in a world where only Government approved people and organizations may speak ?

How are we supposed to function cohesively, fairly and safely as a collective society when continuously growing portions are to be given persona non grata status and banished to the realm of "the unacceptable" ?

It's my position and belief that this activity of marginalization and dismission inevitably leads to people feeling lost with nowhere to go and no way to be heard. Violence is then inevitable from people who feel they have no other choice.

Open conversation and dialogue are crucial to the survival of a free society. Labelling one side bad and the other good is a guarantee of conflict. I wasn't the person sitting in the chair when that button was pushed, and I will not condone or sit idly by as this "othering" of our people continues to fracture society beyond repair.

Allowing people's voices to be heard is critical in avoiding violence.

"What would you like your listeners to interpret from your comments about the government’s role in society’s problems?"

You don't have to like me, agree with me or listen to me - and that's okay. That's your right, and I would never wish to take that right away from someone on the opposing side of the argument. However the fact remains, many people do feel this way and they have the right as human beings to connect with like minded people so they don't have to feel as though they face an increasingly difficult world alone. Isolation and mental illness are almost always mutually exclusive. I would again refer you to the video testimonials and webpage above.

Many Canadians and people around the world feel alienated, frightened and threatened by radical changes that have been forced onto our society over the past two decades. My intent, though admittedly not always as gracefully executed as I would like, as an imperfect person not overly complex.

I am simply trying to use whatever limited abilities I have to make people laugh and alleviate their stress, build a sense of community to combat the social and spiritual isolation prevalent through society, make it abundantly clear that these incredibly wealthy and powerful folks pushing the buttons in our home are not to be blindly trusted without a thought. In fact, many of them have proven to be reliably insecure, immature, immoral and selfish people. Should we be okay with and simply accept this? Can we not do better than this ?

There MUST be accountability and transparency in leadership for a healthy and constructive environment. Ruling by decree and refusal to accept consequences for ruinous actions results in distrust, resentment and worse.

Blaming myself or anyone like me for the environment we have found ourselves in is akin to blaming your headache for your pain, while ignoring the tumor inside your head.

I am a symptom of a much bigger problem, which is a leadership caste that has abandoned it's people, it's charter and it's morality in a childish self serving ego pursuit at any cost.

I apologize for the lengthy reply.

Thank you for your time.

Jeremy MacKenzie, C.D.
