The large Feb. 6 convoy of Alaskan truckers and their supporters made national news when Fox News picked up the story.
On Feb. 7, Fox published an article detailing the Anchorage to Eagle River convoy which also included participants from the Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su areas who joined the rolling rally down the Glen Highway to show support for Canadian truckers and others suffering under oppressive Covid mandates.
The Fox article included video clips from the protest including a post from U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka who took part in the convoy. Fox also mentioned the Fairbanks rally that took place on the same day, as well as the Jan. 29 rally in Juneau.
“A truckers’ convoy traveled across Alaska on Sunday to show support for the Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ that’s been protesting in the country’s capital of Ottawa for nearly two weeks straight,” Fox reported. “The event in Alaska came the same day Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon as approximately 500 trucks and vehicles with the ‘Freedom Convoy’ continued to linger outside Canadian Parliament.”

As to the article by Alexander Dolitsky about the Russian Old Believers— I live in Nikolaevsk, and his information about the school might have been accurate at one time, but sadly it is no longer true. The school in Nikolaevsk currently has 13 students, not 140. All but six are distance learning and at least two of the kids attending in person are children of staff members. The students have been pulled from the school because of the Administrator and his politics that oppose the conservative belief system of the Old Believers. He fired the Russian teacher and they stopped observing the Orthodox calendar. They were enforcing mask policies that drove off the last of any Old Believers sending their kids to the
k-12 school.
Natalie, there’s another movement taking shape holding school boards, principles and teachers and even elected offices accountable. Watch this and learn! Spread it far and wide.
