WE Defend Freedom may be a comprehensive way to organize, clarify fundamentals, (re)brand, engage, better grow, and support our freedom groups. This is just a first draft by Jason Carswell that will be presented to our communities for further input, development, improvements, tweaking, and hopefully for wider acceptance and implementation. This living document will evolve and change over time, yet include an immutable development history.
Brand identity
In order to effectively develop our brand identity we must know what we don't want, drill down to our core purpose, outline our fundamental goals, determine
"Fuck Trudeau" flags merely state an opinion, crudely, and whether you are for or against Trudeau, the flag and flyer neither offer actions nor productive solutions, while saying nothing about our freedom communities and goals. Yet to be proven, it's been alleged that the "Fuck Trudeau" design is owned by a series of shell corporations that trace back to Justin Trudeau himself, preemptively controlling his own opposition.
"Defend Freedom" and "WE Defend Freedom" (WE = Windsor & Essex County) remain actionable statements of resistance and opposition not only to the mafia government puppet "leadership", but also the establishment of banksters, corporate monopolies, the ruling class, their matrix of rigged systems, and all orders of corruption and tyranny, from local to global.
During this pleasant summer many folks may not realize that the wicked never sleep and are always orchestrating greater evils, perpetual propaganda, more lockdowns, medical tyranny, bigger psychological warfare, global institutional theft, global economic transformation, world wide starvation, and endless war - including ongoing fifth generation warfare and culture wars distracting from cataclysmic economic warfare for centralized control.
Thus our resistance work must never tire and never end, even in calm periods. Realize it or not, we are in the perpetual war that George Orwell outlined in 1984. And I cannot think of anything more alarming.
Therefore I cannot think of a more appropriate attention-getting motif than warning tape with diagonal bars of black/yellow (like honey bees, the Voluntaryist flag, anarchist and Libertarian motifs, etc.) or in other colours like red/white, green/white, red/yellow, or the various warning stripe colour motifs on emergency vehicles of different regions (and may have exclusive claim). Easily found and purchased, the majority of warning tape comes on adhesive rolls of vinyl tape, duct tape, reflective tape, etc., cheap to expensive. (By my definitions to clarify in a world of confusing labels and mislabels, warning tape should not be confused with caution tape, which is typically non-adhesive strung up in the air. Phrasing may say "caution", "biohazard", "danger", "police line do not cross", etc.)
To continue the group identity branding and motif we may use warning tape to post professionally printed and self-printed material, decorate protest signs, costumes, or whatever. We may also embrace other yellow/black hazard signs, symbols, and motifs as well as striped mascots like the honey bee, wasp, hornet, or bumble bee.
Optionally we could embrace a colour shift to orange/black to be distinctly different, employ the poisonous Monarch butterfly rather than honey bees, and embrace the Halloween aesthetic.
