From the Narrow Desert

A bit of minor synchronicity already: I happened to post this just after posting birth and death statistics from the Taiwan government. The bee-swallowing incident made me think of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," and I remembered that I had referenced that rhyme once before on this blog. Looking it up, I found "She swallowed the cat to catch the bird," a post in which I also posted death statistics from the Taiwan government. The post is dated August 14, 2021 -- almost exactly one year ago today.

Sorry about that, sync fairies. I guess I was supposed to post this tomorrow.

It worked in India. Will it work in Canada?

The main difference is that Gandhi's enemies were men of honor, and their own strength in that regard was used against them. The moral jiu-jitsu may not work as well against spineless unprincipled -- the noun I want to add here will likely attract the attention of the hate police, so I'll just have to leave it to your imagination.

As others have been saying for a while now, Trudeau's only hope of winning this is to stage a convincing false-flag, undermining the Gandhi method by creating a virtual reality in which the violence was initiated by the Gandhi side. Multiple factors make a convincing false-flag much more difficult to pull off in this situation than it was, say, in DC last January, but if it's your only hope, it's your only hope. We'll see how it works out for him.
