Senseless Violence at the G20



OK this is really pissing me off. As much as I oppose Corporate greed these bullshit punk ass weasels that vandalize private property have got to go. There all filming themselves breaking things. I have a solution: Tranquilizer darts. If they can drop a rhino with a tranquilizer dart, then can drop a punk ass vandal.

Setting cars on fire, setting police cars on fire. That is bullshit. It's like how every year Paris has huge riots when tons of private vehicles are set in fire. That is bullshit. That is not a society to be proud of. They are asking for other citizens to take up arms against them.

On the brights side, this guy who stopped a looter is awesome.

Harper's Treason



We all like to complain about Gordon Campbell's arrogance and dishonesty and rightly so. I've mentioned before that the HST is a federal initiative and that Gordon Campbell offered up BC as a sacrificial pawn to break ground for the HST federally.

We also see that although Harper promised senate reform and was going to push for an elected Senate, he has now appointed 33 Conservatives to the 105-seat upper House in the last 18 months. Just what is he preparing for?



Let's not forget Stephen Harper's idol, Brian Mulroney and his senate reform. Mulroney added eight more seats to the total overnight so he could ram the GST through. Now Harper is doing far worse. He is quietly re stacking the senate to ram the HST through.



Remember all that drama about lowering the GST 2%? His idol was the one who rammed it through in the first place. What a scam. Yet that scam isn't nearly as big as the real plan. Get elected by promising to lower the GST, re stack the Senate, then Raise the GST by taxing things that are presently except and call it the HST. A grand scam indeed.

But that's not all. Make a dirty deal with the second most hated politician in Canadian history, Gordon Campbell. (Mulroney was the worst) He'll do it. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the people. He's has his two pay raises and his gold plated pension. He's going to retire so he doesn't care what the people think. That's why he has committed political suicide by wiping his party off the face of the earth just like Mulroney did.

Oh but wait. It gets worse. What if Harper was to offer Gordon Campbell a senate seat in exchange for cramming the HST though in BC? Wouldn't that be ironic? 30 pieces of silver and the people are again sold out.

Doesn't all the used car salesman drama about lowering the GST then raising it again sound so much like Gordon Campbell's promise not to implement the HST and his campaign against the gold plated pension before he implemented it? Too bad calling some one a liar in the house of Commons will get you kicked out. Outside of parliament those lies are considered criminal fraud.



The good news is that the grass roots initiative has succeeded in getting enough signatures on the anti HST petition to bring the tax to a referendum. The Vancouver Sun called it Direct Democracy.

The BP Oil Spill Continues



I can't believe the leaking oil well has not been capped yet. That is incredible. 100,000 barrels of oil a day is still pouring into the ocean for the worst oil spill in recorded history. This isn't just a huge oil tanker that sank.

This is an oil well that is still pouring oil into the ocean as we speak. This satellite photo of the area was taken back on June 10th. That was 14 days ago. Another 1.4 million barrels of oil have added to that slick with no end in sight.



Can you imagine what it's like for all the fish and sea life in that area? We get most of our oxygen from the ocean not the forests. This spill is killing all those plants and sea life that create oxygen. The ramifications of this spill are unprecedented. The only saving grace is the fact that oil floats and eventually floats to the surface. Still the ecological ramifications are mind boggling.

"The Natural Gas doesn't just bubble to the top of the ocean and release into the air. It is absorbed into the water, like air is absorbed, and actually creates oxygen depletion. Hence, the emission of natural gas of these volumes into the sea is producing a significant area of Oxygen depleted water in the Gulf of Mexico which may be very large threat to fisheries and other wildlife in the area. "

The new concern. is methane gas. Methane gas is a real problem. This leak is “the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history,” Methane gas can kill all life in the Gulf of Mexico. It suffocates the ocean and in turn suffocates us.

Dead zones in the ocean have been a concern since the /70's. In 2004 there were 150 dead zones reported which expanded to 405 dead zones in 2007. Back then a study warned "We could end up with no crabs, no shrimp, no fish." In 2009 we see the oceanic dead zones continue to grow. This was before the worst oil spill in recorded history.

Blame Obama? WTF? BP contracted out Dick Cheney's Halliburton. That would be connected to Bush not Obama. Obama imposes a 6 month ban on off shore drilling in the area and the courts overturn that ban. WTF? The Constitution has just become meaningless. A court judge over ruled a democratic law? The courts are created to uphold the law not help big corporations violate the law. This is insane.

This is a real life example validating our fears of NAFTA, TILMA and the NAU. Free trade is fine but why sign a contract making it illegal for any level of government, federal, provincial or municipal, to create a law that will interfere with a corporation's ability to make a profit? That is insane but that is what's happening and we just saw it implemented.

Last year I used the example of pesticide companies suing the Ontario government through NAFTA for protecting the environment and banning certain pesticides. This is another example of the fears becoming reality. Taking away a democratic society's right to create laws that protect the environment, employees or citizen's human rights is just plain wrong.

This is the direction the G 20 is heading. My kid's high school recently had a forum for earth day and showed a youtube video stating that several corporations have more money than world nations. Indeed the corporation is the new beats rising from the (now dead) ocean.

Oh right. While the planet and the Constitution is being gang raped by the oil companies and the big corporations what hits the biased news broadcasts? Not another false flag attack on times Square with a toy clock. Not a hunter going fishing with gas cans and a cross bow but All Gore's sex life.

Who the f*ck cares about Al Gore's sex life? I think those accusations are false. The rumor was started by the National enquirer and the other papers are just quoting it. After all you used election fraud to steal the election from him. Why not pay the Enquirer to slander him. Shame on fraud.

A black fly in your Chardonnay



Isn't it ironic? I heard that song on the radio yesterday and I never really payed much attention to the words but the metaphor it's like a black fly in your Chardonnay struck me. What an interesting analogy.

The HST Exodus has begun



Well here we are once again. Deja vu. When Mulroney rammed the GST through against the will of the people, his political party was wiped off the face of the earth. Seeing the writing on the wall, some of his MP's jumped ship as it was sinking claiming they were leaving the party because they opposed the GST.

Well we said it was going to happen and it has already started. Gordon Campbell doesn't give a rats a*s because he has his pay raise and his gold plated pension. He's retiring next year so he doesn't care what the voters want. However, not all of his MLA's are retiring. One MLA, Blair Lekstrom, has already jumped ship claiming the reason is because he disagrees with the HST in hopes to save his own political life.

Rats leaving a sinking ship. When will we ever learn. Take note Stephen Harper. The Federal Liberals might be down in the polls but if you persist in pushing the HST through federally, this too will happen to you. You will go down in history as the next Brian Mulroney who wiped his political party off the face of the earth.

Liberal NDP Merger - WTF



OK this just smells bad and of course it's met with denial. Rumors hit the airwaves of secret talks between the Liberals and the NDP to create a new political party. Affidavits have been presented. Yet the denial rages.

Here's the point. The Liberals are tanking in popularity and they are desperate to figure out why. Well I'll tell you why, Michael Ignatieff. The secret merger talks said they would have to accept Iggy as leader. This is Iggy's dying attempt at a power grab. Harper wants to "Govern" and Iggy wants to be PM. It's all about them.

Harper really needs to lose his Brian Mulroney obsession. All that bullsh*t about lowering the GST a percentage. What a crock of sh*t that was. Mulroney was the one that brought it in and Harper is the one trying to cram the HST through. He's the reason Gordon Campbell bought into the HST to his political demise.

So we know Mulroney was full of sh*t but look at Harper. We'll drop the GST a percentage (which we indirectly brought in) knowing full well we will increase the GST by taxing things that are normally except when we bring in the HST. Bullsh*t.

Now let's talk about Iggy. OK let's not. He is an untrustworthy idiot who sanctions torture and false flag attacks. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The Liberals need to dump him and bring in Justine Timberlake. I mean Justine Trudeau. He will save the party. Iggy will flush it down the toilet.

And there is nothing wrong with a Harper NDP merger. Hard on violent crime, whilst keeping public accountability. And will someone PLEASE drop the Socialism Bullsh*t! Look at the proposed merger conditions:

"the NDP would have to comply with three conditions: renouncing socialism and embracing a mixed-market economy; accepting Michael Ignatieff as leader; and having senior party "saints" such as former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent and past Saskatchewan NDP leader Roy Romanow promote the merger. "

Renounce Socialism? STFU! Public accountability is not socialism you lying bastards. Privatizing everything like Enron, Blackwater and Haliburton is just plain corruption so drop the Commie phobia bullsh*t. Public accountability is DEMOCRACY.
