I never got a chance to pay tribute to Roger Mosely who died in August 2022. Mosely, of course, played chopper pilot T.C. on Magnum PI.
Here's hoping Magnum squared up, T.C.. Now you're with Higgie baby island hopping the universe.

The Paranoid State Of Justin Trudeau
"There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law can never be a tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a fortification against the martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape the consequences.".
Frank Herbert
Justin made it personal,
In doing so, he made his life more miserable. The more he acts this way. the more he enrages people.
It's astonishing how liberals actually believe there are Canadians out there capable of violence. They refuse to grasp it because of mandates. They're so lost they don't even understand their own drivel.
Justin has condemned himself to a closed loop where he will continue to further entrench his destructive despotic rule.
The trail of bad precedents being laid by this government has significantly weakened the overall rights of Canadians. From the Emergencies Act and the freezing of bank accounts much to Freeland's pride, to veil threats to our sophomoric approach to national security, to Bills C 11 and 18 to secretive oaths regarding vaccine contracts, to cabinet privilege to hide transparency and a host of other bad firsts, the Liberals have charted a course for a future with fewer freedoms and government accountability.
Once the government doesn't protect rights it because dictatorial.
This is what Rouleau obviously missed when he erroneously conceded the innovation of the EA was "drastic but not dictatorial". And drastic is bad enough. You saw what we got out of it. Police brutality and lives frozen.
The vaccine contract situation is every bit as troubling as any scandal witnessed under his watch. Listen to Housefeather spin it here.
It's stunning that the Liberals admitted they redacted the vaccine contract because they didn’t want people to know that the vaccines were never tested properly & they weren’t allowed to tell Canadians they were unsafe because they wanted them first. They put us at risk to 'be first' because they were under pressure for having reacted slowly to the pandemic. I don't know if the slow response was them being responsible or incompetent but we now know that would have been the correct course to take considering what those measures ended up entailing. That is, counter productive and futile lockdowns, masks and yes, the mRNA vaccines which are not effective nor all that safe.
The weak Prime Minister has completely lost control and the latest revelations of the depth of Chinese interference in not just our elections but influence in state affairs may be a serious scandal too far to spin away with his usual scapegoating and detracting tactic. In any other nation with a stable, strong and mature population, this story is enough to oust any leader the day of. Not in Canada. Somehow, the neutered Canadian population and its feckless leaders fail to grasp just how serious all this really is. We've been infiltrated like no other country.
Justin continues his descent morphing him into an unprincipled gaslighting fool. The more he does so, the more paranoia sets in.
Constantly dividing up society to conquer in a democracy will eventually eat him up.
This is the fate of all leaders who failed to guard against their despotic impulses. We are in a free democracy. Failing to secure those rights by which the authority of God has given, can only end in disaster.
Winging Science To Fit Narratives
"The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." Thucydides
Notice what just happened once the Cochrane Review settled things and basically confirmed what Johns Hopkins University's own meta-analysis showed in 2022 and the Danish study revealed in 2021 (the largest RCT study on masks ever conducted) as well as the body of evidence stretching back 100 years. They simply declared RCT studies - as four scientists did in The Conversation - aren't reliable nor are they the gold standard. Know what is? Observational mathematical models and 'carefully designed' lab-controlled studies because
Covid is a 'special' virus. Uh-huh.
Nonetheless, the onus is on them to overturn the body of evidence. Since they can't, they just revise, rework and reinvent the process winging it.
And now we have the WHO and CDC also saying, 'Nah. We good' as they push for permanent masking. I can but expect the dolts at Health Canada to copy.
How to stop this madness? Well, for starters, figure out how to reverse the Peter Principle ravaging our institutions in North America. It's especially bad in Canada. We seem to be leading the world in junk science at the moment.
Triumph of orthodoxy - one size fits all medical tyranny is not a healthy path forward.
We need courage. Not cowardice. Open and honest discussions. Not censorship.
Listen to Thucydides.
Or else we end up with fools and knaves in control.
Conspiracy Theorists Were Right Reason 3848555
Yet another conspiracy 'theory' has been proven right.
And this is one of the original points they made in February 2020 when I started paying attention.
That this was a man-made virus that escaped from a lab.
Fauci and Daszak (in a junk article in The Lancet) fought ferociously to cover it up.
The question is, are they being investigated behind the scenes? I know there are lawyers like Tom Renz on it and others, but I mean one that makes them nervous.
I know the system is corrupt beyond reform, but these guys committed a true global crime that killed and injured millions between the virus and the 'solution' through the mRNA gene editing vaccine.
Stop betting against conspiracy theorists.
They're the Ted Williams of reality.
It's uncomfortable to face and accept.
But confront it we must.
Very bad people did very bad things.

Random Thought On Zelensky
I was thinking about the totally made-up image actor posing as war hero Zelensky.
He's swimming in a pool of piranhas, vipers, sharks, stonefish and tigerfish.
I'm not so sure he even gets who and what he's dealing with. Well, I'm sure he does but my point is he probably thinks he's not being played or is being coerced into this behaviour.
Ukraine is the world's mafia playground. It's where all the worst characters of Arkham converge.
He's a pawn in a massive game.
If I'm correct, he's expendable.
And that's just the way it works in such waters.
Bitcoin Up 50% So Far In 2023
Remember when Justin attacked Poilievre for suggesting people invest in Bitcoin - well crypto is what he said. Justin purposely conflated the two - was irresponsible because it dropped in value? 2022 was indeed a vicious year for crypto.
Well, like all investments, it fluctuates and it has now recovered 50% of its drop from 2022.
In any event, both Justin and Pierre are doing the dirty bidding of neocons with their support for war.
Hey Justin, when will you send your kid to fight, eh?
Did You Notice?
Quiet march to create a new baseline and normal.
Heart attacks and strokes are NOT normal.
But this is in our power to prevent it.
Just turn your backs on the mRNA vaccine.
Time To Shut The CDC And Remind The WHO To Stay In Its Lane
Despite, yet another mask review showing the ineffectiveness of masks, both the CDC and WHO, in outright arrogant defiance of the data and science, reiterated and quintupled down on recommending them. In the case of the WHO, they're flat out ignoring their own recommendations on masks prior to 2020.
The CDC has simply become a ridiculous caricature of itself no one should trust while the WHO is in need of reform. Just not the one they're looking for through the Pandemic Treaty that would give them enormous powers and control over international health decision. The United States and Canada are insidiously signing over our health sovereignty to them.
Imagine the WHO with powers to compel us into their demands such as masking.
If they can force a mask, they will force anything threatening personal medical autonomy.
Our national governments (is it stupidity or something more?) are ignoring national laws to sign these treaties.

Quote Of The Day
"Having become an instrument without an independent will, the fool will also be capable of all evil, and at the same time, unable to recognize it as evil. Here lies the danger of diabolical abuse. Through this, a people can be ruined forever."
Dietrick Bonhoeffer.
China Wanted A Liberal Minority Government
The Globe & Mail, having obtained leaked documents from CSIS showing the agency warned the Liberals of CCP in our elections as early as 2019, noted the CCP wanted a minority Liberal government over a Conservative one.
That's all you need to know about the Liberals.
Imagine how real stuff has gotten that whistleblowers behind the scenes are leaking information to the media.
This is a real problem.
Treachery is not a good look, Liberals and NDP.
ChatGPT And The Liberals
Someone I know asked ChatGPT to explain how the Liberals and media sow division:
A formula for how the media may work with a particular political party to divide Canadians might include:Selective reporting: The media may choose to report only certain stories that align with the political agenda of the Liberal government, while ignoring or downplaying other stories that may reflect negatively on them.
Framing issues: The media may present issues in a particular way that favors the Liberal government's stance, or they may frame issues in a way that portrays their opponents in a negative light.
Providing a platform: The media may provide more airtime or column space to Liberal government officials or supporters, while limiting or silencing opposing viewpoints.
Manufacturing controversies: The media may manufacture or exaggerate controversies to create division among Canadians and distract from other important issues.
Demonizing opponents: The media may use demonization tactics to portray opponents of the Liberal government as extremists or enemies of Canadian values, furthering the divide among Canadians.
Maybe Pablo and Justin can table legislation to compel ChatGPT to change its mind.
EU Laws Show Its Nonsense

Not with the zeitgeist it appears.
They're going through all my stuff going back to 2004 it looks like. More than half my posts can be seen as not staying within the 'boundaries'. Shoot, my posts about Ukraine are about to be flagged if that's the case.

What Is Policy Horizons Canada?
This is not on a blog or alt media page.
This is on the government of Canada's website.
Read it.
It never was about 'vaccines'.
As we've been saying from the onset.
What Does Canada Value?
Does it value freedom? If it did, it would fight for it.
But as we've seen these past three years, Canada doesn't value liberty. It pays lip service to it, but when it comes to protecting it, they run off in cowardice to hide behind government diktats. It's much easier to vicariously fight for other people's freedom like in Ukraine. Canadians didn't stand with truckers who sounded the alarm about government abuse but they stand with Ukraine?
Hollow isn't it? Superficial, no?
Instead of virtue signalling with Ukraine colours, why aren't we concerned about our own government's actions against our collective freedoms?
Does it value life? If it did, it would fight for it.
Instead, we're seeing a country losing a sense of what it means to be humans and leading a joyous existence. We've made MAIDS way too loose extending it to minors. How can a society tolerate allowing a minor to ask for assisted suicide? Children are immature. They're always changing their minds. It's what it means to be "young and stupid". We don't mature until we're 25. So why is the government allowing for MAIDS to be accessible to anyone under 25? These people should be reminded that life is worth fighting for.
But we have a scientific-medical-technocratic tyranny feigning progress and reason.
The government has backed off until 2024 its macabre plan to murder children.
But look for the jargon. As I've repeatedly said since 2020. The details are in the jargon.
In this case, experts (once again them) are cautioning Canadians aren't ready to kill their young (gee, I wonder why?), are not asking the government to end this slippery slope but rather to employ a 'stepped approach'.
In other words, nudge people into accepting it.
What has happened to Canada?
A country that lacks values and principles and refuses to defend those is one open to the scourge of pseudoscience, and social and civil disorder.
Liberty and life.
Both are under attack in Canada.
No, Legault. You DO NOT Speak For Me
Imagine how arrogant of a person you have to be to say you speak on behalf of people. Justin Trudeau did it when he attempted to send condolences to Cuba after Fidel Castro's death on behalf of all Canadians. There was a justified backlash and he changed his message.
Fidel was a close friend of the Trudeaus so naturally, they assumed everyone else held him in high regard as they did. And as usual, the Trudeaus were wrong and misread the people. Westmount white trash doesn't translate well across the population.
Now in comes McKinsey slut and WEF sycophant Francois Legault spewing utter nonsense and ignorance about Russia claiming the Quebec people are behind Ukraine
No we're not.
This guy got 90 seats but in reality, we have a highly divided population to the point he can only speak for his base and that's it.
Listen Frankie Brasseries, WE provided the war. We as in the West. It started with the Maidan Coup in 2014 when the Americans over threw a fairly elected leader they didn't like. They installed their man and Ukraine began a bombing campaign in the eastern part of the country. Russia had been warning this would not tolerate as well as NATOs constant courting of Ukraine. Then, in an act of war and blatant stupidity, the Americans decided to blow up the Nordstream pipelines. Yes, the invasion is illegal but the Russians saw a perceived threat to their national security.
Did anyone cry as the Americans invaded Iraq and Afghanistan (with Canada's help) while having destroyed Libya and bombed the living hell out of Yemen during the Bush and Obama years?
Did Legault notice under Trump there were no new wars?
Legault is a blatant hypocrite. He talks about defending liberty while in our own backyard our 'leaders' crushed civil liberties over public health. What exactly is the definition of liberty to Francois? Indeed, the average Quebecer and Canadian? I can tell you it differs greatly from mine. If you supported the Emergencies Acts and Covid measures, you need new lessons in the concept of freedom and liberty.
And not the ones taught by dumbasses wannabe communists and radical progressives.
It's in hard times, he said, we see great leaders in praising Zelensy he said. Indeed, we saw the worth of Canadian leaders and a majority of Canadians during Covid. We rolled over with cowardly and abusive restrictions demonizing and dehumanizing a segment of the population.
He flouted basic human rights during Covid imposing the most restrictive measures in North America with the worst outcomes in Canada. Thousands of elderly people died under his watch.
All he knows is corruption and political cynicism. So he should know that the Ukraine war is one gigantic money laundering scheme for the American criminal system and its allies. The Biden family, it is known, is very intertwined with Ukraine (as we've learned through the actions of Hunter Biden). For Canada's part, Chrystia Freeland is a Ukrainian ultra-nationalist. Let's not pretend here Canada is fighting for democracy. We're among the biggest arms dealer in the world.
Blinded by our faux-righteous and obnoxious jingoism, lest we forget, Nazism is still alive and well in Ukraine. In effect, Francois, either out of ignorance or not, is saying we should go to war alongside Nazis. Does he not know what the Ukrainian army does to its own citizens?
Legault should perhaps pick up a book or read actual investigative journalists like Eva Bartlett and Seymour Hersch. It's amazing how these people are completely clueless.
Well, war and violence are all they know. They believe to be in a 'righteous' war with Ukraine as they did with Covid.
No, Francois. You DO NOT speak for me.
How about you stop embarrassing yourself by displaying ignorance, and go and fix our crumbling social services? Have you not noticed Quebec is a laughing stock with its chaotic and second-rate public health system? Now it's spilled over into the SAAQ and other services.
We should be focused on our own problems. Stop deflecting.
After all, you just said, in times when we face challenges, true leaders rise up.
I haven't seen it once during your despotic reign.
********
‼️Fact 1. In February 2014, a coup overthrew the Ukrainian government which came to power in an election certified by the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation). The president, Viktor Yanukovich, was forced to flee for his life.
‼️Fact 2. The coup was instigated by United States officials. Neo-conservatives such as Victoria Nuland and John McCain actively supported the protests. As confirmed in a secretly recorded phone call, Nuland had determined the post-coup power composition weeks in advance. She bragged they had spent $5 billion in this campaign over two decades. Nuland managed the coup but Vice President Biden was overall in charge. Subsequently, Joe Biden’s son personally benefited from the coup.
‼️Fact 3. The coup government immediately acted with hostility toward its Russian speaking citizens, which make up 30% of the population. On the first day in power, the coup regime acted to make Russian no longer an official state language. This was followed by more actions of hostility. As documented in the video “Crimes of the Euromaidan Nazis”, a convoy of buses going back to Crimea was attacked. In Odessa, over thirty opponents of the coup government died when they were attacked and the trade union hall set afire.
‼️Fact 4. During World War 2, there were Nazi sympathizers in western Ukraine when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. This element continues today in the form of Svoboda and other far right nationalist parties. The Ukrainian government has even passed legislation heroizing Nazi collaborators while removing statues honoring anti-Nazi patriots. The situation was described three years ago in an article “Neo-nazis and the far right are on the march in Ukraine”. The author questioned why the US is supporting this.
‼️Fact 5. The secession of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk are a direct result of the 2014 coup. In Crimea, a referendum vote was rapidly organized. With 83% turnout and 97% voting in favor, Crimeans decided to secede from Ukraine and re-unify with Russia. Crimea was part of Russia since 1783. When the administration of Crimea was transferred to the Ukraine in 1954 they were all part of the Soviet Union. This was done without consulting the population.
In the provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk on the border with Russia, the majority of the population speaks Russian and had no hostility to Russia. The Kiev coup regime was hostile and enacting policies they vehemently disagreed with. In spring 2014, the Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples Republics declared their independence from the Kiev regime.
‼️Fact 6. The Minsk Agreements of 2014 and 2015 were signed by Ukraine, Ukrainian rebels, Russia and other European authorities. They were designed to stop the bloodshed in eastern Ukraine and retain the territorial integrity of Ukraine while granting a measure of autonomy to Luhansk and Donetsk. This is not abnormal; there are 17 autonomous zones in Europe. These agreements were later rebuffed by the Kiev government and Washington. This led to the decision by Russia on 21 February 2022 to recognize the Peoples Republics of Donetsk (DPR) and Luhansk (LPR).
But isn’t secession illegal under international law? The US and NATO have little credibility to oppose secession since they promoted the breakup of Yugoslavia, secession of Kosovo from Serbia, secession of South Sudan from Sudan, and Kurdish secessionist efforts in Iraq and Syria, etc.. The secession of Crimea is justified by its unique history and overwhelming popular support. The secession of Luhansk and Donetsk may be justified by the illegal 2014 Kiev coup.
US intervention, both open and secret, has been a major driver of the events in Ukraine. The US has been the major instigator of the conflict.

They Understood; They Warned Us
ALDOUS HUXLEY'S LETTER TO GEORGE ORWELL
Wrightwood. California.
21 October, 1949
Dear Mr. Orwell,
It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book.
It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is.
May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution?
The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual's psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf.
The philosophy of the ruling minority in Nineteen Eighty-Four is a sadism which has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it.
Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful.
My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World.
I have had occasion recently to look into the history of animal magnetism and hypnotism, and have been greatly struck by the way in which, for a hundred and fifty years, the world has refused to take serious cognizance of the discoveries of Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, and the rest.
Partly because of the prevailing materialism and partly because of prevailing respectability, nineteenth-century philosophers and men of science were not willing to investigate the odder facts of psychology for practical men, such as politicians, soldiers and policemen, to apply in the field of government.
Thanks to the voluntary ignorance of our fathers, the advent of the ultimate revolution was delayed for five or six generations.
Another lucky accident was Freud's inability to hypnotize successfully and his consequent disparagement of hypnotism.
This delayed the general application of hypnotism to psychiatry for at least forty years.
But now psycho-analysis is being combined with hypnosis; and hypnosis has been made easy and indefinitely extensible through the use of barbiturates, which induce a hypnoid and suggestible state in even the most recalcitrant subjects.
Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.
In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World.
The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency.
Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds.
Thank you once again for the book.
Yours sincerely,
Aldous Huxley
*Pay close to how Canada behaves.
Chrystia Freeland Is Despotic - Like Her Boss
Naturally, thanks to Rouleau, Justin and his sowers of discord are reinforcing invoking the EA was correct.
They sincerely don't grasp what they did to people. All they see is the desired result.
Chrystia keeps saying how freezing bank accounts was a 'tool' that helped to bring a peaceful resolution to the freedom convoy.
Leave aside for one second the fact there never was a national security state.
I'm going to focus on her saying it's 'peaceful'.
I beg to differ.
In fact, it's the opposite.
It's violence.
Here's why.
By freezing bank accounts of citizens engaging in lawful and peaceful protest (I don't accept the government's premise arguing it was not), including people who merely donated, your cause pain and misery.
And they know it, otherwise, why do it?
Chrystia knows full well what she did was painful and caused great angst to many people.
That's the point.
Preventing someone from paying their mortgage or buying food to feed their families is VIOLENCE and should never ever be considered an option.
But we have a violent government,
They acted upon their despotic impulses and hid behind cabinet privilege.
Then they lied o the public and under oath.
Where they didn't lie, they mislead with disinformation.
Rouleau, a liberal, took the bait.
No one is safe in Canada anymore.
No one.
I do expect freezing accounts to become more commonplace It remains to be seen, and if it does, what kind of an impact this will have on banks and people investing here.
No one wants to invest in a place that could freeze their assets on a whim. No one wants to operate under duress wondering if they'd ever run afoul of a thin-skinned government.
This is precisely how banana republics run.
The standard to constitute a national security threat is now so low that anything qualifies.
Even Stanley Cup parades.
Tread carefully Canada. This is your new normal. And you consented.
Others. They'll continue to fight.
The government is making enemies of law-abiding citizens because it's trying to protect itself for outrageous abuse of power.
More On Rouleau: A Dubious Achievement
Canada, I believe, is the first Western nation to crush a protest via martial law while freezing bank accounts that made sure to injure innocent families not part of a protest.
It was done on purpose and it was done by design.
This is what makes Chrystia, Lametti and Justin so wicked.
We became the first democracy to remove protesting as a fundamental and INALIENABLE right in a free society.
That's gone now.
I hope parochial Canadians who still keep Trump's head up their asses understand this.
No protest is safe moving forward,
You may have applauded this move this time but you won't the next.
The sanctity of protesting should never have been abridged or assaulted by the state. In the coming days, I hope and expect Western nations and observers weigh in on what happened in Canada.
Over the years, we've seen far more intense and violent protests in Europe. France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Greece are just some of those countries.
What do they all have in common? They never attacked protestors with martial law. They did use aggressive police tactics but NEVER did the state freeze bank accounts.
We did.
Just like we became the first country in Western medical history to ban people from DOMESTIC travel violating the Bill of Rights.
None of this seems to sink into the heads of Canadians.
Shameful.
Moroever, we lost the moral authority to ever talk about freedom and democracy again. We no longer have standing.
We're now a cautionary tale.
This is the path we're now on.
Can this be fixed?
Only Canadians can fix this and what leaves me unnerved is they don't seem to be bothered by any of this.
But that's what you get from a hyper-obedient society with no principles.
You get one ripe for government abuse and vulnerable to totalitarian impulses.
Canada is a post-democratic state now.
The irony of us fighting Russia in Ukraine becomes even more absurd now.
Rouleau Ruling
Remember.
Always remember.
The Liberal party of Canada opened this Pandora's Box that's been unleashed on Canada.
People continue to get their bank accounts frozen to this day.
One day it could be you for doing the wrong thing. We're now on the path Justin can lock bank accounts for, say, people saying the wrong things on a blog. Or for investing in crypto. Or whatever he deems to be a 'threat'.
Justin, Lametti and Chrystia are full-on authoritarians.
The Liberals investigated themselves and saw nothing wrong.
Oh, but there is.
And it's about as serious as anything this country has ever witnessed.
This cuts to the very heart of what it means to be free in Canada. Notice, however, how the media is now taking dead aim at the word 'freedom'.
Don't you worry. They will be forced to learn to code soon enough.
Very stupid people are in positions of power and influence.
They're far more dangerous than any trucker.

Covid Response: The Price Paid
You were wondering - well, the thoughtful among you - what the price tag ultimately would be for the unscientific, unethical and hysterical Covid response.
In addition to a landscape littered with broken, families, shuttered businesses, regressed education, neurotic kids, higher suicides and anxiety, more poverty and hunger, spouse and child abuse, inflation, record excess deaths etc. we can now add freedom to the mix.
The idea a commission could find a way to excuse the government for crushing dissent is something I never thought possible in Canada.
It only goes to show we've been living in a facade and a fraud.
If all it takes is a virus with a 99.985% survival rate and truckers honking to undermine freedom and democracy then it doesn't say much for our values and institutions now does it?
I don't care that we vote and had a hearing. Dictatorships have elections and kangaroo hearings too.
We just happen to have better furniture and more refined rhetoric in masking our 'commitment' to democracy.
The Canadian people, ultimately, are to be blamed here. The country simply doesn't grasp what just happened.
It's so bad it is garnering attention from other Western nations.
Canada always craves to be noticed. To be the voice of reason and a beacon of light to nations for democracy.
Ironically, we're getting the attention we wish for. And for a thin-skinned society like Canada, they may not like having become not a leader of democracy but a cautionary tale for other democracies to not follow.
Only not in the way we would want.
We're getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
And justifiably so.
Canada: The first Western nation to conclude it's ok for the government to crush protests.
Rouleau may have been 'reluctant' and indeed didn't sound too convincing (in true Canadian fashion since we're always straddling the mythical line of 'balance') but he ultimately bet on the wrong horse and made the wrong decision.
Spectacularly wrong decision.
One in which we will need to fix.
Fast.
Or else our slow descent into authoritarianism has now become a brisk march.
"Just Transition": What Awaits You
I will say 'Just Transition' is a brilliant slogan. The behavioural scientists and cockwomble liberals sure know how to manipulate people with snappy slogans.
In this case, there's a double power surge going on here. In this case, 'just' can mean 'just do it'' while acting as a reference to being 'just' and righteous act. The more creative among us could even add 'Just in transition' as in we're transitioning don't mind the loss of civil liberties! We're JUSTIN transition!
Here's what awaits you, normies.
Just like public health measures had little to do with public health, green transitioning (doesn't this sound a little too much like gender transitioning?) has sweet fuck all to do with the environment.
Six trains carrying chemicals ruined the environment, did you see all these conservation and environmental groups as well as the media cry?
That's all you need to know.
This is all politics by other means.
You know the wait times in the public health system? The one where you sometimes have to wait months and months to see a specialist or 18 hours in an ER?
Yeh well, that's what's gonna happen if you swallow this green nonsense. Only worse.
You're gonna have to wait for EVERYTHING. It will make your life miserable.
Like the government controlling medicine - you see the results in the flesh, no? - it will be that way but in a 15-minute city setting-nightmare.
If you think the plan is to not make us greener by drastically cutting civil liberties, you're an idiot.
Seeing these past three years, it looks like at least 60% of Canadians are just that: Idiots.
2023-02-17
Low Morals And Morale
I really hope this is not the case.
If Biden is playing politics with humans and animals.
This becomes less a question of accepted norms of politics and more of what is the moral fabric of a nation.
Talk about taking 'elections have consequences' to cynical heights and to a new low.
May God have mercy on the souls of Democrats.
How Media Plays With Your Mind
I was listening to Canada Talks on Sirius earlier today. During a news update from The Canadian Press - I believe the reporter was Dawn or Donna Kelly. I was driving and I have bad hearing but it sounded like that was the name - report about how the five Memphis cops charged with second-degree murder pleaded not guilty.
What was interesting was how she made sure the victim was black but did not mention that the former officers (thugs) were also black.
This is how media misplays you.
It has to keep its narrative going.
This is a story that has no racial component but they have to somehow make it about race.
Had she been honest she would have either everyone's race or none. It's an all-or-nothing kind of deal since they were all black.
But saying it was a crime where blacks killed a black man is a no-no in these charged-up times. We're a slave to narratives and the casualty is truth.
Saying only the victim was black leaves an opening in the listener's mind that he was a victim of racists. And this is the cynical part of the manipulation. They assume you won't go and read the details.
There you have it.
That's how they play mind games with the facts and truth.
Don't be a useful idiot.
Rouleau Rolls Over
Well, the farce that was the Rouleau Commission ended up being anti-climatic as he 'reluctantly' concluded the government met the conditions to invoke the Emergencies Act.
Cue the intro to Curb your enthusiasm.
Paul Rouleau gave his Liberal masters the cover they needed thus playing his part in furthering Canada along the path of a post-democratic nation. They have to protect their own.
To say I'm bitterly disappointed about his findings is an understatement.
It's like we heard two different hearings.
To me, not only did the government fail to make their case, but in fact, incriminated itself by essentially admitting they were circumnavigating the law to get what it wanted. And sounding like the clowns they are in the process.
Once again, a perceived emergency was met with excessive punitive measures that were completely unnecessary.
What country is this?
From the onset, people questioned Rouleau's selection given he's a Liberal party-appointed activist judge. I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt and was willing to wait for the result.
I still have to digest it to see if there's anything positive to gain from it but it's not likely as he said the decision was drastic but not dictatorial. Right.
He also didn't think democracy was hurt by it.
I beg to differ. I think this sets a terrible precedent.
The protest posed no threat to national security. Full stop. But now, the message has been set that any protest could meet the low bar of what is perceived to be a threat.
This government has despotic impulses and this sends them the wrong signal.
Once again, Justin Trudeau manages to wiggle and squirm his way out of a mess thanks to an utterly dysfunctional democratic apparatus incapable of reigning in bad-faith governance. He's the ultimate Teflon man.
It will be interesting to see how Western democracies view this ruling. Already Canada was being depicted as a cautionary tale. This won't help and I would imagine neither will our Democracy Index ranking.
Well, Canada. You can pretend you live in a vibrant and strong democracy.
But you don't.
In the end, no one who had already determined their opinion, either way, was going to be swayed by this commission - a commission of liberals investigating each other.
I'll update this as more information comes in.

Where We Stand As A Country Where The Judiciary Is Concerned
In short?
Not very healthy is our standing.
In fact, it's deeply troubling how utterly useless our judiciary has been to uphold and protect the rights of Canadians.
Why bother having a judiciary if all it does is take 'judicial notice' and bend to what the government (and media) says?
Just go straight to despotic rule.
And Canada is essentially just that. It's not truly a functional democracy to emulate. I submit we're a model as a cautionary tale.
In addition to a weak and non-independent judiciary, the Parliamentary culture is one of deference to the PMO. Very few of - if any - MPs ever oppose the PM. The PM has, in this way, more power than the executive (that is, the President) in the Untied States. That Congress too is weak and not willing to enforce the Constitution guarding against the expansion of Presidential power, is another topic altogether and a trend observed in the last 60 years or so. One could submit it goes as far back as Lincoln and the Civil War.
I'm no legal expert but I am watching the rulings in the Covid era. And I'm concerned. We're acting more like a weak banana republic than a strong and free democracy.
Can it reverse itself? I don't know.
I know that it can't as long as ideologues like Justin are in power.
Here are some recent articles of interest on the matter.
A professor on the much-needed Bennet ruling pushing back on judicial notice in Ontario.
And an interesting look into the judiciary in the context of the trucker's convoy:
*****
I just want to close by saying why is it we don't see compelling and eloquent written opinions from Canada? It's no wonder why so many people focus on SCOTUS in the United States even though it has no impact in Canada. They look to it for inspiration perhaps?
Have you ever read the opinions of Scalia, Alito, and Thomas? Works of art. Genius in some cases.
Here? We get 'judicial notice' passing of the buck despotic cop-outs and unprofessional lash outs on Twitter (Doucet on Tucker Carlson) and in the media (Wagner against the truckers).
Canada's standing on the judiciary and science is on tenuous ground.

Digital ID In Newfoundland; USAF Pops A Balloon
Minister of Digital Government and Service NL Sarah Stoodley is proudly rolling out a Digital ID pilot project in Newfoundland.
In explaining the rollout, she stated that the vaccine passports were a "success". By what criteria and metrics did she arrive at this conclusion? For example, was it empirically proven to reduce transmission? Of course, we know that's not the case.
Again. Sigh. From the top and altogether now, the mRNA shots do not stop transmission nor were they ever tested to do so. The mRNA shots have also proven to be weak sauce against severe disease and preventing disease. Like all other flu vaccines, this one is proving no match for a highly mutating disease. Got it? Good. Everybody must get stoned.
This brings us to the next possible metric she may have referred to.
That being of technology. But here too we run into a problem. Is the mere rollout of dividing Canadians into a 'two-tier' society along medical status thus erasing their civil liberties considered a 'success'? Then mission accomplished. Success!
The vaccine passport is an odd, if not counterproductive, way to promote whatever positives Digital ID (ie security and convenience) may present. It unethically and unscientifically divided Canadians. In fact, it's the absolute worse way to sell it but our leaders are pulling more and more away from serving their constituents and more and more into doing what they feel we should be accepting.
Question them and risk being called nasty names. You may even be a threat to national security.
In a perpetual state of exception, we're all potential enemies of the state.
If the vaccine passport is a pathway to Digital ID (which I might add, many people said would be the case back in 2020 only to be told it was 'misinformation' or a 'conspiracy theory'), then what possible assurances do we have this won't lead to a social credit system? Its potential for 'digital segregation' is present is it not? We've already got a taste of it when the Government of Canada - an ostensibly free and democratic country - froze the bank accounts of not only protestors but people who dared donate to the cause.
As such, has the trust between 'state and citizen' been severed?
The great criminologist, jurist and philosopher Cesare Beccaria were among the first to suggest that the mere perception of justice - or lack thereof - among citizens is enough to undermine trust.
****************************
USAF shot down a balloon in the Yukon as part of a NORAD mission.
I immediately wondered why the CAF couldn't do it. The government's response was somewhat plausible stating that the closest air force base was in Alaska while the Canadian fighter jets were in Alberta. So it was logical the Americans would go in and shoot it down.
Was time of the essence? We don't know. But I have zero issues with it because it's NORAD. Plus the reality is that the U.S. protects Canada anyway.
But it once again highlights - as I've been saying since 2005 - that Canada is incapable of defending itself. A G7 country that goes around acting tough about Ukraine can't even shoot down a balloon on its own soil.

Quote Of The Day
"We had accepted some half-truths and had stopped searching for the whole truths. The principal half-truths were that medical research had stamped out the great killers of the past Рtuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia, puerperal sepsis, etc. Рand that medical research and our superior system of medical care were major factors in extending life expectancy. The data on deaths from tuberculosis show that the mortality rate from this disease has been declining steadily since the middle of the 19th century and has continued to decline in almost linear fashion during the past 100 years [till 1970]. There were increases in rates of tuberculosis during wars and under specified adverse local conditions. The poor and the crowded always came off worst of all in war and in peace, but the overall decline in deaths from tuberculosis was not altered measurably by the discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus, the advent of the tuberculin test, the appearance of BCG vaccination, the widespread use of mass screening, the intensive anti-tuberculosis campaigns, or the discovery of streptomycin. It is important that this point be understood in its completeness. The point was made years ago by Wade Hamptom Frost, and more recently by Ren̩ Dubos, and has been repeatedly stressed through the years by many observers of the public health. Similar trends in mortality have been reported with respect to diphtheria, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, pertussis, measles, and many others."
Edward H. Kass
Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Infectious Diseases and president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. From a Joint meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Tenth Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in 1971.
The original misinformation spreader.
In fact, you'd be surprised at how many of these assertions I've read over the last two years.
Over to you Timothy Caufield to determine if this is 'misinformation'.
Vaccines are the most overrated products in the arsenal of allopathic medicine. Vaccines are a pharma racket.
It holds a place of hyper prominence that is richly undeserved.
We certainly shouldn't be losing medical autonomy to it.
Canada And The United States Are Banana Republics By Other Means
Complete clowns run our countries.
Exhibit A. Joe Biden. Criminal.
Ironic after all the important ranting rage about Trump. eh? Look ma! Actual evidence!
Exhibit B. Canada lying its way into a confrontation in Haiti through troll farms.
More irony. A key skill required of Canadian politicians was to always be able to straddle the line between the perception of Canadian independence and not appearing to be a puppet of the United States.
Yet, under the Liberals, we see a clear and distinct willingness to emulate Democrat political tactics. Indeed, Canada appears to follow American orders like we've never done before. At least overtly.
We saw this through the trucker's convoy, Ukraine and now Haiti.
Lockdowns Were Worse Than You Think
We all know lockdowns were a catastrophic self-induced act of self-mutilation on the human mind. body and soul.
We all know it had no scientific basis whatsoever to have ever been considered.
We also are slowly coming to the realization this may indeed have been a military operation. Why it was so and who are the culprits remains one for spirited discussion.
But one cannot deny the negative impact it has had on millions.
The more stubborn public health or 'academic experts will downplay this impact as some teachers are denying the impact lockdowns and masks had on kids.
Some go down with the ship.
But one interesting aspect that should be explored is what happened to people's perception of work and labour?
That is, humans take pride in their work and work. It gives them a sense of purpose. An identity. The idea of contributing to one's family and community through work is a common key feature of human nature.
The 'experts' and government officials obliterated this in 2020 and 2021. By dividing industries (and thus people) into essential and non-essential. In doing so, they signalled some people aren't worth much to society and ultimately themselves.
The local hairdresser somehow wasn't worth anything. But Costco was.
The local hardware shop had to shut down but nor Home Depot.
The whole exercise was riddled with contradictions and incoherence.
The result is social chaos and civil disorder.
The action disoriented people.
It created a vast underclass as now we're observing the labour market is very loose. That is, it can't find workers.
A tight labour market is what you want.
Last week, the U.S. had a record 517 000 jobs created and 3.4% unemployment. Yet, employers can't find workers. The contradiction is bizarre. Behind these strong numbers, it could be, lies a very weak economy.
People have lost the drive to work with a sense of pride. If public health can shut them down over a virus they can't stop, why pour your heart and soul into working? Worse, what if potential entrepreneurs decide it's not worth investing capital which could take years to recuperate because of the instability and potential of being shut down risking their investment?
The unseen poison of lockdowns will be with us for a very long time.
And if you supported them, oh be assured you will be affected somehow, someway too.
Impeachable Offenses
Now that the Democrats lowered the bar and standard of what is impeachable with two failed attempts against Trump (and yet people still stupidly claim to the Russia collusion hoax despite the massive evidence against it), how does the House deal with Biden's blowing up of the Nordstream pipeline?
This was an act of war essentially.
And unbelievably stupid.
If there's an actual impeachable offence, here it is. Never mind having steered American into a perpetual pandemic state - as predicted by 'conspiracy theorists' way back in March 2020.
It's worth noting Biden was an infamous legend when it came to his foreign policy instincts - or lack thereof.
He had uncanny ability of being always wrong according to Democrat insiders.
It's pretty serious what he did.
But continue supporting the Nazis in Ukraine and the criminal acts by the U.S. government and its putz allies like Canada, Andrew Coyne et al.
The Difference Between Peter Hotez And Conspiracy Theorists
Hotez is a bona fide conspiratorial nut job who spread actual misinformation and lies. He has no basis whatsoever for the gibberish he rants on about.
He's the lunatic in the movies who managed to get the levers of power through his maniacal machinations within the structures of academic and government.
"look these people in africa and India and elsewhere, the only reason they're resisting is because we got these crazy anti-vaxxers in the Americas and Western Europe that are spreading 'disinformation' and it needs to be treated like the terrorism that it is..."
Now there's some tin foil hat stuff right there.
Peter is either an asshole or a liar. Or both.
Hotez is the embodiment of the nightmarish bio-security state. He is 1984 personified.
And people like Timothy Caufield and David Fisman are on board with this. They're part of 'misinformation' groups that have Hotez reviewing their propaganda.
The difference between Peter and actual conspiracy theorists (which don't exist. It's an invented CIA term that was created after the assassination of JFK because people saw it was a government hit job) is the latter actually come to the table with facts. Conspiratorial people call out the reality that humans conspire. They are mostly, really, truth-tellers in defence of human nature and law. Conspiracy 'theorists' do not wish to usurp governments or ill upon their fellow man. They do not look to eradicate human freedom or deny science.
What they do is attack those who do want to do this.
Little of what they say is a threat to us. What they do threaten are the criminals who have infiltrated the highest levels of power.
Hotez wants vaccines to be a means to a medical end. He makes a lot of money from this. He will stop at nothing to get everyone shot up for anything and everything. Including imprisoning them.
For their own good. For public health.
I won't go further here. Suffice it to say Hotez has now become the world's most dangerous man next to Bill Gates.
Peter Hotez is a comic book villain personified.
You're now living in a graphic novel.

Friends, We Have A Problem
Between ChatGPT and the rise of mathematical modelling, the age of who controls information through garbage in and garbage out, has arrived.
Chat has already shown itself to be absurdly biased while we've seen how useful - ahem - models have been for the past three years. With such a batting average, they wouldn't even be trusted to pinch hit
Alex Jones was prescient when he started Information Wars in the late 1990s.
It is a war of and for information.

Normies: It's Not Over
You think they went through all the trouble of force vaccinating while introducing passports for nothing and for your health?
That was round 1.
They like what they saw.
You all complied. You buy into their claims that 'misinformation' is dangerous. It makes you timid to look behind Door #2.
Truth. Or at least, different opinions and perspectives.
They don't want that.
They have round 2 planned and it's coming real soon. They already told you. Gates has been saying for two years another pandemic is coming. Klaus keeps telling the world cyberattacks are inevitable.
All planned.
And it's easier to unleash these nefarious schemes than you think.
Turns out Twitter officials were using a secret cloud server called Jira to communicate with government officials to quash basic 1st amendment rights.
A secret organ - just like in the gulags.
And it wasn't to the benefit of citizens.
They see you as a threat that needs controlling.
I don't know what's in these shots but there's something here that should make us ask questions given how badly they want to continue pushing them.
Remember, these are not vaccines. They are mRNA gene editing injections. We have no idea what these things can do to us in the long term. We're seeing what they can do in the short to mid-term and it ain't good.
Still think it's all crazy talk? The WHO announced H5N1 is potentially on its way. An official from the FDA said the EUA has no 'end point'. They're going to continue indefinitely.
Not to protect you but to continue expanding the biosecurity surveillance state.
You job is to fix the mistake (s) you made with Covid. Be engaged. Ask questions. Do NOT consent to anything that asks you to give up your rights however 'small' the 'inconvenience'.
They're injecting the food supply (cattle etc.) now.
Just like the conspiracy theorists warned in 2020.
They will not end the pandemic.
You're always at war with Eastasia.
Welcome to the war. An information and cultural war.
You're in one whether you like it or not.
Will you finally join the righteous?

Childhood Vaccination Rates Collapse
This may turn out to be a good thing.
Now let's see if all these diseases from autism and SIDS begin to recede. For too long the experts in white coats have not been able to explain why childhood diseases were on the rise. However, they somehow knew it was not the vaccines.
This was the only way to find out.
It has all become way too politicized and corrupted to get any truth from the science.
They overplayed their hands. That's why they can only cling to blaming the opaque 'misinformation' and 'disinformation'. By coercing the use of vaccines as if it's a net positive to health has reached a cul-de-sac. Vaccines should never have been seen as a means to a medical end but they are now. There's no way a man-made chemical product can outwit the immune system.
I was never an 'anti-vaxxer' but I've become extremely critical of them now. They will blame my conclusion on being a victim of 'misinformation'. Not really. I listen to people like Peter Hotez, David Fisman and other vulgar scientists, and see there's something off in their messaging.
Hotez is a loathsome and shady character while Fisman embraces unethical and futile pseudoscientific 'tools' like masks and passports.
Their lies are not working.
They lost the public trust. Let's see if their arrogant and stupid enough to ignore it.
I've come to the conclusion a large chunk of vaccinology and virology is junk science and quackery.

Canadians Are Ignorant Authoritarian Rubes Part 39494959
Especially in Canada.
Keep repeating January 6 enough and Canadians will believe it.
51% of Canadians believe truckers were a threat to national security.
80% of liberal voters.
Any questions?
