(0:00 - 2:07) Good evening, I'm Will Dove and these are the top stories for Tuesday, May 20th. Newly released Freedom of Information documents reveal Health Canada's public health agency, PHAC, maintained secret records tracking thousands of adverse events and deaths following COVID-19 vaccinations, even as officials publicly insisted the shots were safe and effective. Over 2,000 pages of internal communications show PHAC compiled a database of 22,000 scientific papers on vaccine side effects while dismissing emerging safety concerns. The records indicate that 79% of 206 analyzed post-vaccination deaths occurred within 30 days of injection, with a median time to death of just 7 days among early 2021 cases. Despite this pattern, PHAC executives developed protocols to avoid investigating most fatalities. A January 2023 email from a senior official stated, 300 is too many deaths to investigate. We'll look at deaths that can't otherwise be explained, effectively creating a filter to minimize scrutiny. PHAC's database included alarming studies such as a 2023 Cleveland Clinic paper showing individuals receiving more vaccine doses had higher COVID-19 infection rates. Internal reactions to external vaccine safety developments ranged from dismissive to panicked. Staff responded with yikes to Florida's 2022 pause on youth vaccinations, but ignored Canadian data, revealing a dramatic increase in myocarditis risk in Canadian children. The agency also rejected the peer-reviewed analysis by Canadian researchers Denis Rancourt and Joseph Hickey, attributing 17 million global excess deaths to vaccine injuries as not credible without conducting independent verification. Critics highlight PHAC's use of World Health Organization-aligned causality algorithms that systematically excluded potential vaccine-related cases from review. (2:08 - 2:43) These findings emerge as Health Canada continues promoting booster shots, with no updates to public guidance acknowledging these internal risk assessments. Financial strategist Martin Armstrong warns NATO nations are preparing for direct military confrontation with Russia, citing universal draft reinstatements across Europe. Germany now requires all citizens up to age 60 to register for potential conscription, while Poland has implemented mandatory universal military training, moves Armstrong describes as proof that they want war. (2:44 - 6:19) His analysis ties these measures to Europe's economic collapse, noting the EU's collective GDP has shrunk 18 percent since 2020 compared to U.S. growth, with Germany's manufacturing sector declining 23 percent. European leaders allegedly view war as a diversion from $2.5 trillion in unfunded pension liabilities and systemic banking crises. French President Emmanuel Macron is accused of seeking to emulate Napoleon through aggressive anti-Russian posturing, despite France's economy contracting for three consecutive quarters. Armstrong predicts Russia will solidify control of Ukraine by 2027 through sustained artillery superiority, claiming Western sanctions have backfired by strengthening Moscow's economic ties with China and India. The report coincides with U.S. Ambassador to NATO Julian Smith announcing plans to discuss troop reductions. A move Armstrong claims follows private congressional briefings acknowledging Europe's suicidal policies. Armstrong has advised President Trump to withdraw from NATO before the U.S. is obligated to go to war against Russia. The Canadian government can enact conscription through the National Defense Act or by passing new emergency legislation, such as invoking the Emergencies Act during a national crisis, like a NATO-Russia conflict, meaning that Canadians could be drafted to die in someone else's war. For more information, see my in-depth interview with Martin Armstrong, released this evening. Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber faces potential imprisonment after an Ontario court convicted him of mischief and violating injunctions against protest-related noise, while fellow trucker Harold Jonker was fully acquitted of all charges in a separate ruling. Justice Heather Perkins-McVey determined Barber's TikTok videos demonstrated intent to prolong protests despite awareness of harm to residents, even while acknowledging he repeatedly called for peaceful protest. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms condemned the verdict, revealing prosecutors dedicated 45 trial days to Barber's case, while Ontario courts dismissed 86 sexual assault cases due to procedural delays. Court documents show Barber's defense argued federal vaccine mandates created second-class citizens, with 35% of Canadian truckers losing work under policies banning unvaccinated drivers from cross-border routes. In contrast, the Ottawa courtroom cleared Harold Jonker of charges related to allegedly disturbing a social gathering during the protests. Crown prosecutors abruptly withdrew all accusations after the JCCF presented evidence that police had authorized Jonker's parking location. Harold Jonker here, and I just came out of the Niagara Police Station. I've been officially charged with four counts of criminal charges, one count of mischief obstruct property, one count of intimidation by blocking or obstructing highway, and then two counts of counsel and uncommitted indictable offense. Legal analysts note the disparity in outcomes highlights inconsistencies in Canada's judicial response to the 2022 protests. I'm Will Dove, and those are the top stories for today, Tuesday, May 20th.
