Hamas Oct. 7th style attack thwarted in Toronto by 3 Muslims now under arrest and more: Links 1 for December 18, 2025

Before anything else, I want to flag an issue that will be addressed in detail later today or in the coming days. If events unfold as they currently appear, this may provide a clear example of the Canadian state operating in a fundamentally communist manner.

Today in Ottawa is decision day on the fate of Chris Barber’s truck, Big Red.

The Crown is seeking to permanently seize the truck owned by Chris Barber, one of the symbolic leaders of the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

This truck is also the single most potent and recognizable symbol of the resistance to the state Covid and mRNA gene therapy injection narratives there is.

Big Red is not an incidental asset. It is the single most recognizable and potent symbol of resistance to the Canadian state’s COVID and mRNA injection narratives.

Official court language to date refers to the Crown seeking to “dispose of” or permanently forfeit the vehicle. Chris Barber, however, has publicly stated that the Crown intends to destroy it.

If the Crown is in fact seeking destruction rather than forfeiture, that distinction is critically important.

The truck is a six-figure asset. It is not being seized for the purpose of sale or restitution to litigants, such as those associated with the so-called People’s Commission on the Occupation (documentary embedded below and strongly recommended). Instead, it would be eliminated entirely.

Destruction would signal something more than punishment. It would function as a public warning that no effective opposition to state narrative enforcement will be tolerated. It would also represent an effort to erase the symbol itself — a step toward memory-holing the Freedom Convoy altogether as Canada continues to drift from a reality-based system toward a dialectically driven one.

The filmmaker behind the documentary argues that the People’s Commission on the Occupation existed primarily to manufacture both real and false data points for civil actions against convoy participants, with the expectation of sharing in forfeitures. Our assessment is that the effort was backed by Chinese interests operating in coordination with elements of the Canadian state apparatus.

If the Crown is now seeking outright destruction of Big Red, rather than financial recovery, that outcome would align even more closely with the manipulation of reality through the destruction of symbols — a step further than even the Commission appears to have anticipated.

UPDATE: The court HAS DECIDED!

A Canadian court has ruled that Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber will be allowed to keep his long-haul truck, known as “Big Red,” following a decision on December 19, 2025, rejecting the Crown’s application to seize the vehicle as offence-related property. The Ontario court judge, Justice Heather Perkins-McVey, determined that confiscating the truck would constitute a disproportionate punishment, despite its use during the 2022 protest.

• The truck, a 2004 Kenworth, has been central to Barber’s family trucking business and personal livelihood for over 20 years.

• The Crown had sought forfeiture of “Big Red” after Barber was convicted of mischief and counselling others to disobey a court order during the Freedom Convoy protest that blockaded downtown Ottawa in January and February 2022.

• Barber’s legal team, including lawyer Diane Magas, argued that the truck was used in accordance with police directives, including being moved when instructed, and that its seizure would cause severe financial hardship.

• The decision comes after a hearing on December 19, 2025, with the court finding that the principles of proportionality and fairness outweighed the Crown’s request for forfeiture.

• Barber is currently appealing his 18-month conditional sentence, which includes house arrest and community service, following his October 2025 sentencing.

Now onwards to a list of items of interest:

1. The murder of a nuclear scientist in his home in NH a few days ago fits the MO of Iranian actions over the last many years, even within the Untied States.

Suggestions are being made that this murder somehow connects to the one at Brown’s in RI.

Police probe potential ties between Brown University attack and MIT professor slaying

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Police are investigating possible ties between Saturday’s shooting at Brown University and Monday’s slaying of a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Target 12 investigators have learned.

Senior law enforcement officials tell Target 12 that federal, state and local authorities are now examining a potential connection between the two crimes. Multiple people familiar with the investigation said they have discovered evidence showing the two may be linked.
