Well the rainy season has begun so it's time to treat your leathers with mink oil or dubbin. Boots, jacket, saddlebags. The whole works. I used to use mink oil now I just use dubbin. I carry a towel in my saddlebag to dry the bike off and use WD40 on the small chrome pieces that tend to rust. I am thinking of insuring my car for when it snows so I can take it up the mountain to go snowshoeing.
My old bike was shaft drive so I could put rope on the tires in the snow. This one has a chain so when the rope starts to fly off on dry pavement that creates a safety concern getting caught in the chain. Plus I'm getting a bit old to ride when there is snow on the road. If the roads are clear that's a different story.
I don't mind riding my motorcycle to work or the gym in the pouring rain or the freezing cold but riding all the way to Vancouver then up the mountain in the freezing cold is a bit much. I have no desire to go snowshoeing after that. If I take the car I don't have to wait until spring and can catch the fresh snow.
There was a biker at the gym that showed me a meme on his phone. It was Vin Diesel and it said the season doesn't end until the salt trucks hit the road. We laughed. I turned to him and said the season doesn't end. In Vancouver at least. I couldn't do that in Alberta or back east. Here it's pretty mild.
City News is reporting that "A body found in Surrey on Oct. 14 has been identified as 19-year-old Tichic Meya, who had been reported missing by his family on Oct. 11, says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT)."
"Around 1:07 p.m. on Oct. 14, Surrey Police Service (SPS) were called to the 6100 block of 156th Street where they found Meya’s body. SPS believed the death was the result of criminal activity and IHIT was called in to investigate. Police are now releasing Meya’s name and picture to see if they can get more leads in the case."
"A tragic milestone in Canadian peacekeeping occurred on July 25, 2006, when Canadian Armed Forces Major Paeta Hess-Von Kruedener and three other UN military observers were killed in southern Lebanon when Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) artillery/bombs struck a clearly marked UN post. A Canadian Board of Inquiry later deemed the incident preventable."
He was murdered for reporting war crimes. "In 1982, in response to the Lebanon invasion and the massacres in Sabra and Shatila, Margaret Thatcher’s government suspended arms exports and revoked permission for British companies to sell certain weapons to Israel. The arms embargo remained in place for over a decade, lasting until 1994 (after Thatcher had left office)."
Let us also remember the American soldiers murdered on the USS Liberty. Let us also remember that Israel was acting on the orders of President Lyndon B. Johnson who recalled the air support. This was clearly a false flag attack. The only thing that stopped the vicious assault was a Russian spy ship that sailed in to witness the event. Alex Jones is a wing nut but he did put out an informative documentary on the USS Liberty attack.
Candace Owens interviewed Phil Tourney, a survivor of Israel's attack on USS Liberty. Again we need to remember Israel was acting on orders from President Lyndon B. Johnson. The one who took over after Kennedy was assassinated for vetoing Operation Northwoods. Bad people taking over good governments.
CSIS Sam is reporting that "Ryan Wedding, the former Olympic snowboarder accused of running a billion-dollar cocaine network for the Sinaloa Cartel, used currency exchanges in the Vancouver and Toronto areas to launder billions of dollars in drug proceeds, the United States Treasury Department alleged Friday, as it sanctioned eight Canadian money services businesses accused of moving money for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)."
That is a ridiculous lie. Washington did say that but it was obviously a false statement like Operation Mass Appeal. We all saw how the US Mid Terms went. We all saw how unpopular the Iran war is. That's why Washington and the CIA are obsessing over these Iran lies. The purpose of the Iran lies is to facilitate Netanyahu's unprovoked invasion of Lebanon.
Before that it was an Operation Ajax remix to justify cutting off Iran's oil to jack the price of fuel up in support of the Saudi monopoly. Lies about Iran are nothing new. Remember CSIS Sam reported that ridiculous allegation claiming that Iran put a bounty on a former Canadian politician asking for her to be beheaded in Canada? That lie was so ridiculous CSIS Sam and YNet were the only outlets that ran it. Then we had Mossad murder that Hells Angel from Germany when he was in Iran. After they murdered him, they photoshopped swastikas onto his tats. Germans don't have tats of swastikas. Germany is very remorseful of the holocaust. Mossad lied and defamed him after they killed him.
Remember how Trump went from wanting to liberate Iran to nuking them? The CIA supported the wife of a MEK leader to replace the government of Iran. MEK were terrorists that helped Saddam Hussein gas Iranian civilians with mustard gas from the US. Locals didn't support them so Trump threatened to wipe them off the face of the earth. That was very ungodly.
They also tried to claim Iran was behind hiring people to shoot at Toronto Synagogues. That was a bold faced lie. Israel bombed that Synagogue in Iran because they weren't Zionists. Jews practice their religion freely in Iran. Iran has no desire to shoot synagogues in Canada. These are all lies sent out by the intelligence community to defame Iran for their oil and for their support of Lebanon's right to self defense.
Look at CSIS Sam's headline. "Ryan Wedding, the former Olympic snowboarder accused of running a billion-dollar cocaine network for the Sinaloa Cartel..."
Now look at Kash Patel's latest lie. News Nation Now is reporting that "Mexican officials have killed alleged drug cartel leader Edgar Aaron Vazquez Alvarado, who has been accused of protecting a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder charged by U.S. prosecutors in a cocaine trafficking case, according to reports." According to reports. ROFL.
"Vazquez Alvarado allegedly founded Cartel Nuevo Imperio, a Mexican criminal organization and drug cartel, along with another notable drug cartel leader Oscar Antonio Garcia Alvarado, who is currently incarcerated."
Oh but you claimed Ryan Wedding worked with the Sinaloa Cartel. How can his fake protector you just shot dead and can't defend himself be Ryan Wedding's protector when he was with a rival cartel? Kashedout Patel can't even keep his lies straight. They are a splinter group that broke off of the Sinaloa cartel.
CP 24 is reporting that "Toronto police have identified an 18-year-old Mississauga man who later died in hospital after a shooting in Etobicoke on Saturday afternoon. In a news release, officials say officers responded to a call for a shooting in the Rathburn Road and The East Mall area at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Police say officers found a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. Life-saving measures were performed before paramedics transported him to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The victim has now been identified as 18-year-old Malik Abass of Mississauga."
The BBC is reporting that "Israel's president says he will task opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot with forming a new coalition government. Isaac Herzog has been holding talks with political parties after neither Eisenkot's bloc nor that of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secured a majority in Israel's parliament, known as the Knesset, following last week's election. Eisenkot will now have 28 days to try to form a new administration, with a potential 14-day extension."
CBC is reporting that "Eisenkot has criticized settler violence against Palestinians, which has surged since 2023, raising tensions in Israel’s ties with Western states, and he opposes Netanyahu's far-right coalition partners Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, who have both faced sanctions by some Western countries for inciting violence against Palestinians."
Itamar Ben-Gvir is a disgusting POS. There is NOTHING godly about him. History has recorded that.
I'm not wearing a poppy for Remembrance Day this year and I'll explain why. We have forgotten what the poppy was supposed to represent. Remembering the noble sacrifice of soldiers service is a good thing. Betraying their cause is not.
When we think of poppies and Remembrance Day we think of trench warfare in the First and Second world war. The second world war implemented the Holocaust. The famous poem In Flanders' Fields was at the end of the First World War which ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
"Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields."
In 2026 we've come full circle. We're supporting a genocide instead of fighting against it. We have betrayed those soldier's sacrifice. Our pride has turned to arrogance supporting atrocities. Several years ago I made a blog post about going from Flanders' Fields in France to opium fields in Afghanistan and said Maggie, what have we done?
The Taliban brought opium production in Afghanistan to a grinding halt. Then after the allied invasion, Afghanistan returned to being the largest producers of opium in the world. What the CIA did secretly in Vietnam, they did openly in Afghanistan. Then came the Oil Wars, Cobalt Wars and the rise of over paid mercenaries through Erik Prince of Darkness and the private military contractors. This was another betrayal of the true meaning of the poppy.
The sole purpose of the unprovoked war with Iran was to support the unprovoked invasion of Lebanon. Genocide and expansionism. The very quest we opposed in the First and Second World War. The Gaza genocide is an atrocity based on lies. Selling beach front property and building casinos on the graves of dead Palestinian children is sheer Satanism.
In the last US Mid Term election we saw how unpopular the Iran war is. Pierre Poilievre would have joined right in. Yet that doesn't make Mark Carney good becuase he's not. He has his own dark and devious agenda. Two wrongs don't make a right. Two wrongs are simply both wrong. Both extremes lead to the same place: the UN's New World Order.
Massie: "I do have a message to the troops. This secretary has used our troops to go seize oil for large corporations in America. You shouldn't be used like that. You signed up to pledge your life for this country if need be, and that obligation shouldn't be diminished to stealing oil for big corporations."
The London Free Press is reporting that "The Satan’s Choice motorcycle club chapter in this Southwestern Ontario city has closed following a violent clash with the Outlaws outside of a business in September."
"Satan’s Choice opened a Woodstock chapter in June as part of the club’s expansion into Southwestern Ontario, where chapters in London and Windsor also opened this year. Now the club’s presence in Southwestern Ontario – territory long dominated by the Hells Angels and the Outlaws – has been dealt a blow in the wake of the closing of the Woodstock chapter and the merging of the London and Windsor chapters."
"All twelve members of the Woodstock club quit in protest after the chapter’s president resigned following the clash outside of a Dundas Street business on Sept. 12, two former members told The Free Press."
"Video of the incident posted on social media three weeks later showed about two dozen men in Outlaws vests converge on the business. Two men in Satan’s Choice vests were beaten and had their patches taken."
"But Chris Fuchs, the former president of the Woodstock chapter, said the patch-taking incident was related to a rivalry with the Outlaws and he resigned over a disagreement with Guindon over how to respond to it."
'THEY LEFT US WITHOUT MONEY!'
Chaos on streets of Paraguay after MILLIONS of people lose access to their savings and bank accounts https://t.co/g9wKzODSZD
AP News is reporting that "Paraguay’s central bank seized a major digital lender with close ties to President Santiago Peña on Tuesday, fueling a political crisis and threatening the country’s burgeoning reputation as a regional haven for investors. The takeover left millions of customers’ savings and hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds in limbo."
