Rob Moffatt sent an email, with the five point Moffatt Declaration. Among the half a dozen recipients, I was one.
I liked it, and decided to read it aloud live on Facebook. Here is the copy of the text and the video recording.
The Moffatt Declaration
23rd July 2020: 12:25 PM
The Moffatt Declaration:
1 – The federal Government of Canada is not a legitimate government. Provincial and municipal governments within Canada are not legitimate governments.
A) Governments in Canada are not legitimate, because they support, condone and/or engage in levying taxes upon social minorities, which taxes are then used;
– to fund the formulation, promotion and implementation of laws and regulations that effectively deprive members of that social minority of; the safety of public and privately owned shelter, housing, employment, parental authority & custodial rights, or medical treatment.
– to fund the formulation and implementation of mass-media campaigns which incite & promote irrational fear or hatred of the members of that minority among the general public.
– to fund the formulation and implementation of social marketing propaganda campaigns directed at policy-makers, both inside and outside of governments, calculated to manipulate those policy-makers into believing that it is in their own best interests and the best interests of those they represent to support the above listed scapegoating and persecution of that social minority.
– to fund and promote “research studies”, lacking genuine scientific integrity and objectivity, that are calculated to generate biased data and fraudulent or unprovable conclusions supporting the social marketing propaganda mentioned above.
B) Governments in Canada are not legitimate, because they participate in conspiracy to deny members of scapegoated social minorities any effective means by which to air their grievances and/or seek redress for the wrongs that are inflicted upon them – including; representation by political parties, fair and equal access to mass media, complaints aired through human rights tribunals, defamation or slander lawsuits and Charter of Rights appeals.
C) Governments in Canada are not legitimate, because policy and decision-making at all levels of government is generated not through a dialog between government members and the general public but rather through a dialog between government members and “opinion leaders” – unelected technocrats, ’cause’ & ‘issue’ activists, consulting company lobbyists and small groups of economically advantaged & socially connected elitists.
D) Governments in Canada are not legitimate, because “public opinion” has been and continues to be hopelessly corrupted by a never-ending barrage of publicly funded social marketing campaigns designed to manipulate & control people’s thinking and behavior.
“The will of the people” cannot be intelligibly discerned at this point in time, because what members of the public believe they know or understand about important policy issues is being manipulated and controlled by the very same “opinion leaders” listed above, i.e., unelected technocrats, ’cause’ & ‘issue’ activists and consulting company lobbyists. Governments in Canada are not legitimate, because they support, condone and fund this manipulation of everyone’s thinking and behavior. Until such time as these social marketing campaigns are adequately and impartially regulated, or better still banned entirely, it will remain impossible to determine what public opinion on a given issue would be without the distorting influence of social marketing manipulation. Governments cannot legitimately claim, therefore, that their policies are “endorsed by public opinion”.
2 – Our current political, judicial and social institutions are hopelessly corrupted. Because they are corrupted, it will not be possible to use them to bring about meaningful reforms.
- It will not be possible to use our mass media to reform our mass media. It will not be possible to use our judicial institutions to reform our judicial institutions. It will not be possible to use our political institutions to reform our political institutions. Genuine and meaningful reform will only be possible when our present political, judicial and social institutions are replaced or superseded xxx
- The people who run our institutions mentioned above will use those institutions to block attempts to reform them. Their power (and wealth) is assured by the corrupted state of these institutions and they will not hesitate to corrupt them even more if any serious effort is made to use these institutions against them. Constitutions, laws, codes of ethics – none of these can be used to stop them from doing what they are currently doing, because these people can always invoke the over-ride they have repeatedly used to corrupt our institutions in the first place – “the public good”. In the corrupted system we live within today “the public good” supersedes all else, and they are the self-defined interpreters and guardians of it.
3 – Replacing our corrupted institutions “by force” is not an option.
The people who run our hopelessly corrupted institutions are masters of conflict. They like “power struggles” in any form; economic, political, ideological, legal or violent. They like conflicts because they control the means necessary to winning them. They have stacked all the conceivable ‘decks’ and merely await the next sitting duck to come along and attempt to beat them at their own game. The use of any kind of “force” to dislodge & replace them, whether economic, political, legal or violent, is not an option.
4 – Superseding the current system is the best option.
The best approach to dumping our present, corrupted political, judicial and social institutions will be to render them irrelevant. This strategy is not just “below the radar” of our ruling elite’s prepared defenses, it is right off the screen entirely. It is, at this time, something that they cannot begin to comprehend and therefore something they will be unable to take seriously until it is too late- and that recommends this strategy as highly as anything could.
Build a parallel “system”, one that has been vetted of their corruptions, one that is populated by people who sincerely wish to be a part of it – rather than populated by people who have no means to escape it, as is the case with our present corrupted system. Build parallel political, judicial and social institutions created through genuinely democratic processes and models such as the BC Citizen’s Assembly. Create small-scale “autonomous zones” wherein the corrupted systems have no authority and invite businesses and industries to operate within these zones on terms that are more favorable to them than what they can get in “the old Order”. Develop and grow these zones with refugees from the increasingly totalitarian and oppressive institutions we are currently trapped within. Make no direct or ‘forceful’ challenge to the old Order, just render them irrelevant, impotent and empty over time.
5 – The first step in becoming free people once again is to declare autonomy from our corrupted system.
I declare my autonomy from the federal Government of Canada, the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia and the municipal Government of Halifax Regional Municipality. I declare that I refute and repudiate all illegitimate government’s alleged authority over me and how I choose to live my life.
Because I am at heart a law-abiding person, I pledge to adopt the Criminal Code of Canada statutes governing OFFENCES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER, TERRORISM, SEXUAL OFFENCES, PUBLIC MORALS AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT, OFFENCES AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION OF LAW AND JUSTICE, INVASION OF PRIVACY, OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON AND REPUTATION, OFFENCES AGAINST RIGHTS OF PROPERTY, FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO CONTRACTS AND TRADE, and WILFUL AND FORBIDDEN ACTS IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN PROPERTY as my personal code of ethics, never to be intentionally or knowingly violated by me.
I declare that I shall respect any other laws and regulations passed by any level of illegitimate government only if reason and empathy tell me that I should, on a case-by-case basis as they may arise, and only because I freely choose to do so. I am a fully adult and mature human being, I do not require legal nannies in any form to watch over me or direct my every action.
I declare that I will not be coerced into being either an active participant or passive supporter of the oppression by illegitimate governments of other autonomous persons. If that places me in violation of petty laws, bylaws or regulations enacted by illegitimate governments of any level, I will consider those laws, bylaws or regulations to be null & void in my life.

Canada, life in a Banana republic…. In modern usage the term has come to be used to describe a generally unstable or “backward” dictatorial regime, especially one where elections are often fraudulent and corruption is rife. By extension, the word is occasionally applied to governments where a strong leader hands out appointments and advantages to friends and supporters, without much consideration for the law. A banana republic can also be used to describe a country where a large part of its economy and politics are controlled by foreign powers or even corporations.

Is this just for us to read and file away, or is it for discussions?
I liked your five point Moffatt declaration, though might add my observations to it, where Canada is no more a self governed or internally ruled society, but appears to be a protectorate under a global faceless secretive dictatorship, where in house politicians are acting as local warlord collaborators that once controlled smaller pieces of land and passed the booty up the chain to the great dictator or emperor of the past.
This post should’ve been part of a discussion forum somewhere, for folks to comment on. Your points 3 and 4, where superseding a system is preferred over replacement – encourages further analysis and follow up.
Anyhow, not sure I know anybody else in this thread nor how or why I was included.
While we can only think Canadian, real forces bearing down on us are global that have captured all the instruments of power in Canada and everywhere else. Canada is not the only banana republic, The earth is now a banana planet. The trick question might be – do we address it top down, or bottom up?
Thanks for the note though – good read. Good luck to the patriots at the war memorial.

The Moffatt reply
Hi Tony! = )
Thanks for the reply! The Declaration is open for discussion, adoption and implementation. Feel free to edit, share and use as you wish. I included you as you were a guest on a previous Myth is Canada round table discussion. I logged onto your blog and sent you some info on Codex, the League of Nations (UN) and non profit industry. I thought you might be interested and copied you on it.
Indeed, the global revolution has begun and we will take back what has been stolen from us. Remember Nuremberg, Least We Forget!!
