Highlights from the leaked Freedom Convoy donor data
Analysis by Claus Rinner - 15 February 2022, original to the Moon.
The GiveSendGo fundraising platform that stepped in after GoFundMe cancelled the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign was hacked repeatedly over the last few days. The data were publicly posted by the hacker and later shared with researchers and journalists by a whistleblower site. The Moon got ahold of a copy of the spreadsheet containing Freedom Convoy 2022 donations. There is a total of 92,844 records that include date, donor name, email, zip code, country, IP address, donor’s comment, amount, and credit card brand. A total of US$8,421,806.50 was given to the convoy in the ten days from February 1-10, 2022.
Meanstream “journalists” are in the process of interrogating identifiable donors from the list, while individual Covidian cultists shamelessly use the data to pillory donors online. Social media companies like Twitter seem oblivious to this doxxing, despite their November 2021 private information and media policy stating otherwise right in the first paragraph:
You may not publish or post other people's private information without their express authorization and permission. We also prohibit threatening to expose private information or incentivizing others to do so.
We at the Moon (another way of saying “I”) will focus on the amazing geographic reach of the Canadian trucker protests reflected in the donor list, and on the messages of support and hope that many donors left with their contributions. Here is a number of sample messages:
Thank you Truckers! Last week I was in Ottawa and let me tell you,.. I never felt so much love ,unity and happiness around me.I am sorry to say but our P.M. and main media got it wrong,...there was no racists or extremists -only fine ,hardworking Truckers keeping the streets,sidewalks free of snow and ice ,clean and safe. They are standing up for Our rights and FREEDOM! May God Bless Them All !
After viewing hours of video from Ottawa,it's clear the behaviour of the truckers&supporters has been exemplary.The atmosphere is one of joy,peace,love,inclusiveness&resolve. Never forget the early pandemic when we were hiding in fear,but the truckers continued.The lies, divisive & hateful rhetoric of the media & politicians must stop for the sake of unity.Respect &gratitude to Convoy&supporters.
First I was glad you were protesting the cross border vaccination mandates (I'm fully vaccinated). But now I'm glad you are standing up for free speech and freedom. We are all individuals, and it's not the government's or Trudeau's job to solve all our problems. Being vaccinated is our own choice. The real problem is our medical system, not who gets vaccinated.Keep it loving guys and you will win.
I am sitting here crying tears of hope and joy while I am making this donation! ❤️ Thank you all for starting this great event that will change Canadian ❤️??History! You have done more for Canada that I have seen in my 68 years I have been a Canadian to bring back HOPE, FREEDOM for me, others and particularly the children of Canada! GOD BLESS AND DO NOT BACK DOWN! WE HAVE YOUR BACKS!❤️??❤️??❤️??❤️??❤️??
Thank you for your courage and commitment to fight to be heard. It's abhorrent that our elected government will not recognize the concerns of fellow Canadians, and resort to name-calling. We need conversation and engagement, we need patience and understanding. Our government is none of these things. No matter how much they claim, I am not alt-right, I voted Liberal. For this I apologize. Thank you
Merci d'agir pour retrouver notre LIBERTÉ! Je suis fière d'être canadienne en vous regardant! Votre manifestation pacifique est exemplaire. Continuez de vous affirmez pour nous jusqu'à la Victoire! Elle est si près! Merci de tout coeur à tous ceux qui sont sur place et à ceux qui envoient leurs bonnes ondes. Grâce à vous, nos enfants auront droit à une vie saine, remplie d'humanité, de joie! xxxxx
Time to fill the air with songs of truth & Victory in this peaceful & vital protest!! Start singing O’ Canada around all police & on parliament hill, (the people’s “Hill”) and at the Border. Our beautiful national anthem says it all, True North Strong& Free, & God Keep our Land Glorious & Free!! Tough arresting people singing their National anthem in the country they are in, loud and clear!! ❤️
Many of us here in Canada, and especially us living in the province of Quebec have had enough of illegal, overbearing and ridiculous mandates. Individual rights and liberties are of utmost importance and they are essential in a country that considers itself a free one. Draconian measures are an insult and cause larger emergencies than the virus. It is time to stop ruining the future of our nation.
Thank you to the truckers in Ottawa - and across Canada, throughout America and around the world. Thank you for what you're doing and what you truly represent: unity and freedom. […] Thank you to those who stand with the truckers, no matter where you're at, in solidarity for unity and freedom for all.
This is a token of my gratitude and appreciation for all those standing up for our rights and freedoms in Ottawa and cities across all of Canada. United we stand, we shall not be divided! I am proud once again to call myself Canadian! Thank you truckers and organizers! Stay strong and disciplined, keep your stick on the ice, don't take any retaliatory penalties, the eyes of the world are upon you.
Appuyons les camionneurs et les organisations pacifiques qui les supportent. Écoutons les experts médicaux et les dirigeants qui le disent de plus en plus : les mesures comme le passeport sanitaire et la vaccination coercitive sont non seulement discriminatoires, mais aussi inefficaces. Le Canada doit apprendre à vivre avec le virus comme plusieurs autres pays sur la planète le font actuellement.
I am afraid I have to stop here. I selected these comments from the first 100 that I was able to read, out of some 50,000 (!!) records with detailed messages. There are another 10,000 or so consisting of just one word or a short phrase, like “Freedom”, “Love”, “Honk!”, or variations of “Thank you” and “God bless you”, while about 30,000 donations were submitted without a personal comment.
The gratitude of donors is palpable and the appeals to unity and peacefulness are moving. Some donors explicit note that they are vaccinated. To be sure, there also are many more aggressive comments naming and shaming politicians and global conspiracy figureheads, and all manner of religious appeals.
In the examples, I focused on Canada-based donors. Those, along with to the roughly 60% international donors, highlight the impact that the Canadian truckers have had on the global push to end vaccine mandates and non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19.
The above attempt at mapping the origins of the donations suggests that Canada’s truckers are the envy of the world! Donations came from Canada, the United States, half of the countries in central and south America, from all over Europe, and many Asian and Pacific nations. (Note that there may be errors due to the inconsistent country codes used between the two data sources.)
Maybe a maple leaf-adorned truck will replace the United Nations’ blue helmet as a symbol of Canada’s global role as a peacekeeper and champion for human rights? Is it time for Canada to grow up, from the “world’s boy scout“ to the unflinching trucker on the highway to freedom?
