Katy Perry returns from space on Blue Origin

 

OK so it was a 10 minute flight. Pretty cool. Like the weather balloons with a gopro attached to them. You get on the edge of the atmosphere and can clearly see the curvature of the earth. The bible does not say the earth is flat and it isn't. Let's move past the mental illness and get healthy. Onward and upward.

Israeli air strike destroys part of last fully functional hospital in Gaza City

The BBC is reporting that "An Israeli air strike has destroyed part of al Ahli Arab Hospital, the last fully functional hospital in Gaza City. Witnesses said the strike destroyed the intensive care and surgery departments of the hospital."

"Video posted online appeared to show huge flames and smoke rising after missiles hit a two-storey building. People, including some patients still in hospital beds, were filmed rushing away from the site."

France 24 is reporting that "Since the outbreak of war, tens of thousands of Gazans have sought refuge in hospitals across the territory, many of which have suffered severe damage in ongoing hostilities."

"The strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in northern Gaza —- also known as the Baptist or Ahli Arab Hospital —- caused no casualties, but came a day after Israeli forces seized a key corridor in the territory and signalled plans to expand their campaign."

"It also comes after the United Nations warned that medicines and related supplies are rapidly running out in Gaza as casualties surge. 'The bombing led to the destruction of the surgery building and the oxygen generation station for the intensive care units,' Gaza's civil defence rescue agency said."

"The strike came "minutes after the (Israeli) army's warning to evacuate this building of patients, the injured and their companions", the agency said. AFP photographs showed massive slabs of concrete and twisted metal scattered across the site after the strike."

"Patients, relatives, and medical personnel evacuated the Al-Ahli hospital in haste following the military's warning to evacuate. Many now remain stranded in the surrounding streets."

Destroying all the hospitals and killing aid workers reveals an agenda. That's a genocide. No lie can live forever. Hamas fired rockets into Israel because Hamas works for Netanyahu. Netanyahu's cabinet was getting paid by Qatar. The same ones that arm and fund Hamas. 

Netanyahu's Qatar-Gate investigation halted

Paul Palango and Adam Rodgers on Bill Majcher's case

Paul Palango is an accomplished Canadian author who has written several books about crime. Many of which are critical of the RCMP like Dispersing the Fog. Turns out he's also a podcaster. Today he and criminal defense lawyer Adam Rodgers talked quite a bit about the Bill Majcher case over in Vancouver. 

Turns out Majcher is pronounced Miker. I did not know that. They talked quite a bit about the case at 22:01 in today's podcast and continues to 37:11. Paul had written about Majcher is his book Dispensing the Fog saluting his competence.

They also talked about the RCMP's use of spyware on two police officers who know Bill Majcher who had no idea until it was mentioned in a disclosure. That forced them to ask how many other police officers are the RCMP spying on?

Brockton Point on Mount Seymour

 

Today was a beautiful sunny day so we strapped on the snowshoes and hiked up Brockton Point on mount Seymour. It was the first time my son in law has been snowshoeing and the second time he's seen snow. We took him up Cypress in the fall for him to see an early snowfall right before ski season started.

I guess today was closing day for skiing and snowboarding for the season on Seymour. Same with Cypress. I thought they all had another week. Looks like they're shutting down before Easter. I guess Grouse is staying open until April 21st 2025. 

Spring skiing is in my opinion the best of the season. It's warm and the melting snow isn't icy. It's a bit sticky as in not as fast but skiing in the sunshine is awesome. There are still more snowboarders than skiers out there and although the line ups for the chairlift were pretty long by late afternoon, everyone was having a tailgate party in the parking lot. 

After next week we won't have to park so far away since the ski hill will be closed. I had crampons again today but broke one as soon as we started so I made the trek with just one crampon. I'll have to get that fixed or replaced for next time. The snow is melting fast so we better get on it. 

Mark Carney on Crime and gun control

OK so Mark Carney stays you can't be serious about being tough on crime if you're not willing to be tough on guns. That is the Liberal lie we all need to address.

We all know that Justin's Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland's WEF Liberals are soft on crime and tough on legal gun ownership. Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland's leftists are the same. 

While cracking down on legal gun ownership banning numerous hunting rifles in his Communist takes all gun grab, Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland's WEF Liberals reduced the penalty for violent crime committed with illegal firearms. At the same time they increased the penalty for any legal gun owner who violated any one of their long list of new rules.  

That revealed an Agenda. Justin's Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland's WEF Liberals were using the crime they created to justify taking guns and hunting rifles away from law biding citizens with criminal records checks. 

Justin Trudeau's last minute Communist takes all amendment to the last gun bill they voted on created quite an outrage from Liberal and NDP MPs in rural areas as well as the Assembly of First Nations Chiefs. The Chiefs declared hunting was a treaty right. You can't ban hunting. 

The rural Liberal and NDP MPs said Justin Trudeau has no clue about what it's like to live in our communities. We are surrounded by wildlife predators like bears and wolves. In the North they said we live with polar bears. We need rifles for self defense.

The Liberals' response on C-21 isn't good enough for the people of northwest BC, and it isn't good enough for rural Canada. pic.twitter.com/ju6O07M1pp

So the last minute all inclusive WEF wish list amendment was withdrawn. The bill was voted on and passed. Yet a year later Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney's WEF Liberals submitted practically the same amendment that everyone was in such an uproar about and quietly slipped it through without a vote. That's what they did. The most recent addition needs to be voted on and never was.

So when Mark Carney says Pierre Poilievre can't be tough on crime if he's not tough on legal gun ownership, we all know that is a lie. We also know that when Mark Carney bans legal guns from law biding citizens with criminal records checks, that has absolutely nothing to do with stopping crime because his WEF Liberals promote crime. 

Criminals do not use guns that were ever legally registered to do gang hits. They use throw aways. Illegal firearms smuggled in from the US that have never been registered. They often leave them at the scene because they can't be traced. That way they can't be caught in possession of it later on and be implicated in that murder.  

The far left uses that lie to disarm the public. However, the far right uses crime to justify a different extreme reaction. Throwing a drug dealer in jail for 30 years isn't going to solve the problem. Building new Guantanamo Bays in El Salvador isn't going to solve the problem. 

We already have all the laws in place. The problem is a manufactured one because they are not enforcing the laws we already have. That means all we have to do is enforce the laws we do have. Repeat offenders doing less jail time the more violent offenses they commit is illogical. 

We don't need to throw repeat offenders in jail for 30 years but we do need to throw them in jail for three months. That isn't extreme. Not doing that is extreme. We also need to throw them in jail for 3 moths without access to drugs. That would be in everyone's best interest. The current methadone scam that exists in BC prisons is insane. 

We need to enforce the law in halfway houses and detox homes. Arresting drug dealers who sell drugs in detox homes is not extreme. Failing to do so is. 

So we don't need extreme responses to manufactured problems. We need to balance the extremes and be logical because right now we are anything but. 

Cherry blossoms falling in the wind

I made a blog post about the cherry blossoms in bloom and talked about it in a podcast recently. This year the cherry blossoms have even more significance for me. 

Cherry blossoms are always an empirical sign that spring is here and summer is on it's way but this year it's more than that. It's the calm but sure assurance that everything's going to be alright like Bob Marley proclaimed in the song No Woman no Cry. As I also mentioned in a recent podcast about the whirlwind of insanity that surrounds us and bombards us daily on the fake news, everything's going to be alright. The sky isn't going to fall. We're not going to crash into another economic recession triggering another stock market depression. 

Trump's recent 90 day pause to tariffs shows that his billionaire supporters see the folly of this quest. Now they say his strategic tariff negotiations has been brilliant. Not but that's OK. We'll let him have his fake victory so he can save face over the defiant stupidity. Tariffs hurt American farmers and we all want to support American farmers as well as farmers around the world. 

The CIA's persistent China defamation has shown that tariffs against China also hurt American farmers. We buy things manufactured in China. That trade creates Canadian jobs in the ports, on the railways and in the retail sector. 

As I previously said American manufactured products help create Canadian jobs. Everyone at the local Harley dealer are Canadians. Now we can all see beyond the narrow minded protectionism of Fascism and see how that silly math shoots yourself in the foot. Now we can move forward in peace. 

So yes, the cherry blossoms are a sign but today the sign has become even more real as they fall from the sky and dance in the wind. I picked up a handful of cherry blossoms on the ground and threw them in the air saying to the kids look, it's snowing. Cherry blossoms blowing in the wind are a vivid reminder of God's love that surrounds us. 

When I was in elementary school they taught us about haiku poetry. Three lines that don't necessarily rhyme but use words as symbols to illustrate an image and a feeling.  

"on the river cherry blossoms float my worries away."  Raphe Dacre, Age 12 Christchurch, New Zealand. For me it's even more celebratory. Like confetti at a wedding or celebration. 

Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossoms. The fall of the Sakura is a description of today as the cherry blossoms gently fall and dance in the wind. Korea, Japan, Vancouver - peace. 

When I did a search on YouTube for falling cherry blossoms in Vancouver uploaded today I found this short of a young woman taking a selfie with falling cherry blossoms and the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri playing  in the background. 

The lyrics that struck me were the clip she posted which says Heart beats fast, Colors and promises, How to be brave? How ... then it cut out so I looked up the song on YouTube. The line I want to discuss is how to be brave. 

In context the song appears to be talking about relationships but that's the the context I'm using it in. The song says "I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more." It could be allegorical but it could also refer to a belief in a preexistence and an afterlife both of which I do believe in. 

Jeremiah 1:5 states "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee" and I submit loved thee. It's referring to God's love for his children. He loved us before we were born because he knew us. Now I don't want to get all holy roller but I just want to put the feelings I have in context. 

I see people try to steer me for their own political purposes but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the love God has for all of his children. God is not a respecter of persons But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

I'm not just talking about the Christian God here or the Jewish God, or the Muslim God or the Sikh God. I'm talking about the Great Architect of the Universe. The Grand Geometrician so to speak. The one who created the Universe and everything in it. 

When I went on my road trip in the summer of 2023, two songs became the theme for that trip - Bob Seger: Roll Me Away and Susan Ashton: Grand Canyon. 

I came across Susan Ashton's song Grand Canyon from a video I found on YouTube of a few local motorcyclists from Vancouver that went on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. 

The thing that seemed to strike those riders was the majesty of the Grand Canyon. They related that to Susan Ashton's use of the Grand Canyon as an allegory to describe how she felt about her relationship with God. In that song she declared "Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you from the bottom of the Grand Canyon." 

I can relate to that. Well today when I see the falling cherry blossoms dancing in the wind I feel I'm as close as his shadow. I can feel the love God has for all of mankind. Especially Gaza.

It brings us back to Daniel. Sometimes we all feel like we're looking up at God from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Isaiah once said "But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me."

Zion here doesn't just mean the Jews. There were 12 tribes in Israel not just one and Abraham had more than one child. Zion in this context means anyone who aspires to something higher like Bob Marley did. All of us at times feel as though God has forgotten us and forsaken us. 

Then Isaiah declares "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." He uses the analogy of a mother to reassure people that God has not forgotten us. The Lord then declares "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." What does that mean? Wait 'till I tell ye. 

Bruce R McKonkie once declared that for the final three hours Christ hung on the cross, all the horrifying pains of Gethsemane returned. While he was nailed to the cross he saw, felt and experienced all our pains and sorrow. Our walls are continually before him. So that explains the love of God. 

Now let's look at something an angel once said to Daniel and see how that applies to bravery. "O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong." When Daniel felt the love of God, it strengthened him. 

Why is that? Because perfect love casteth out all fear. Genuine love creates bravery. Look at how a mother will defend her child or how a bear will defend her cub. If we love someone or something, we will defend it. 

Christina Perri's first children's book A Thousand Years is about the love a parent has for their child. So for me Christina Perri's song A Thousand Years isn't about the love between a man and a woman. It's about the love God has for all of his children and the love we have for our own children. If we can feel that love then we can be brave in the face of adversity. Peace.

Costco dethrones Google as the most reputable company in Canada

The Daily Hive is reporting that "According to Canadians, Google was the most reputable company in 2024 with a reputation score of 75, followed by Sony. This year, Google (72) fell several spots after being dethroned by Costco Canada (74), while Sony retained second place (74)." JPMorgan Calls Costco a 'Clear Market Leader' as March Sales Top Expectations. 

Calvin Chrustie and Donald Trump's Fentanyl Facade

I'm going to throw out a name and a MO for us to examine. The name is Calvin Chrustie. The MO is the Five Eyes Lies. Let's start with crusty. 

Global interviewed Calvin Chrustie on day two of the Vancouver International Security Summit. Global described the summit as an elite gathering of global leaders, security experts (and) policy makers focusing on issues like foreign pollical interference and the dangers of misinformation. Let's pause right there. Is there anything about that kind of a global summit you might find concerning?

The World Economic Forum is another global summit who are also very concerned about misinformation. The problem with that concern is that they are the source of misinformation. That means they are concerned with the truth restricting their ability to con and control the masses. Just like the Five Eyes is. That's what the whole purpose of partisan fake fact checkers. For example, medical experts in the field testified before a congressional hearing and stated that during Covid the government was the largest source of misinformation. 

Likewise during the unlawful invasion of Iraq, the biggest source of misinformation was MI 6 and the Five eyes who sent out lies to the press under Operation Mass Appeal. Just sayn. So that's the first concern with the globalist security summit that was held in Vancouver November 2024.

Now let's back it up to Donald Trump's second reason for the tariffs. First he said it was because he wanted Canada to become the 51st State. He said if we do, the tariffs will be gone. Then he changed his story. The second reason he gave was because of Canada's insecure border. Trump claimed all the fentanyl and illegal aliens were coming into the US from Canada which was a ridiculous lie. 

At the Roxham road crossing all the illegal migrants coming into Canada were coming from the US into Canada not from Canada into the US. Trump's claim was a lie. All the cocaine that comes into Canada comes through Mexico and the United States into Canada. It doesn't come from Mexico to Canada then down to the US. All the illegal unregistered guns that come into Canada also come from the US. So yeah Trump needs to secure his border. 

The problem is the CIA are the largest drug traffickers on the planet. Operation Fast and Furious showed us that Iran Contra never stopped. All these huge trucking rings bringing cocaine and fentanyl from Mexico through LA into Canada for the Hells Angels and the Calbrians. Even their fake Mexican cartel bust in Surrey was bringing cocaine and fentanyl from Mexico through the United States into Canada. The fentanyl isn't and wasn't coming from the north south it has always come from the south north.

Yet Donald Trump and Calvin Chrustie disagree. That's because they're getting their information from the same intelligence community that traffics those lethal drugs. That was November 2024. Thing have changed yet again and border security has nothing to do with it. Now it's a trade war with the world to put American first. Unfortunately in so doing he's killing American farmers which is exactly what the WEF wants him to do. Tariffs are taxes and Trumps insanity is ushering in the UN's New World Order. 

Here's the deal. Calvin Chrustie. That's his real name. I didn't make it up. Former RCMP working with the Intelligence Community to promote global misinformation. Remember that recent drug lab bust tied to the Wolf Pack? They were making fentanyl and it looked staged. That's because it was.

Crusty claims that "Canada-based groups are working with criminals in China, Mexico and Iran to make, finance and distribute drugs, Chrustie said, adding that he believes the amount of Canadian-made fentanyl entering the U.S., and how Canadian groups facilitate the flow, are largely unknown to Canadian officials." FBI foil FBI plot. Imagine that. 

See the pattern. China, Mexico and Iran. No mention of them. No mention of Operation Fast and Furious. No mention of Gary Webb, Terry Reid or Bo Gritz. Trump designated the cartel and terrorist organization after the ATF armed them. 

CBC is reporting that "The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) targeted drug cartels and other dangerous criminals who use shadowy shell companies to move their ill-gotten gains. The bipartisan law, enacted in 2021 at the end of Donald Trump's first term as U.S. president, was seen as a much-needed reform to America's ability to fight financial crime. But four years later, and now back in office, Trump has sharply narrowed the law's reach, all while using fentanyl trafficking as a justification for a potentially devastating trade war against Canada." Trump paves the way for cartels after he declares them terrorists. 

Update: January 30th 2025 Breach Media reported that "Last April, Merrifield and McNamara launched a lawsuit against the federal government, seeking $5.5 million in damages for the impact on their lives after CSIS yanked their security clearances due to their ties to Majcher."

"The lawsuit claims CSIS was tipped off about Wealth One by Critical Risk Team, a Vancouver-based security risk management company run by former RCMP and intelligence managers. Two of its personnel are Calvin Chrustie, a former superintendent and senior operations officer with the RCMP, and Bob Young, a former CSIS executive manager—both of whom are listed as defendants in Wealth One’s lawsuit."

“[Chrustie] boasted to acquaintances in law enforcement, including McNamara, that he was well connected in CSIS, that he did tasks for the agency,” says the claim. “[Chrustie] told McNamara (presumably among others, including CSIS) that he thought [Majcher] was too close to the Chinese government and was not to be trusted…[Chrustie] also has an established relationship with journalist Sam Cooper, who was paid by Cooper’s publisher to provide commentary for the second edition of Cooper’s book, Willful Blindness.”

"Calvin Chrustie is a former RCMP superintendent and longtime source for Sam Cooper’s reporting on Chinese influence in Canada." Sam Cooper was the one that made the false claims about the movie screen shot of Bill Majcher. 

Trump Tariffs hurt American Farmers

ABC is reporting that "Hedge fund honcho Bill Ackman joined a growing list of President Donald Trump's billionaire backers calling for the White House to slam the brakes on tariffs just hours before Trump authorized a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for most countries that went into effect Wednesday morning."

CBC is reporting that "American farmers say U.S.-imposed tariffs on Canadian goods are having a devastating effect on the local agriculture sector south of the border."

"Sombke says he's disappointed to see Trump — who was backed by 63 per cent of voters in South Dakota — turn close trading allies into adversaries. 'What we need to do is find ways to work together to help each other, as a world market, rather than go through these tit-for-tat types of situations that are never helpful for anyone,' he said."

"We've become such enemies just because of this one man."

Food and Water Watch is reporting that "While Donald Trump campaigned on lower prices and support for workers and rural America, his new tariff policies will have harrowing impacts on farmers and consumers. His staggering tariffs — the highest in more than a century — threaten skyrocketing prices for essentials like food."

"At the same time, they’ll worsen the existing crisis for American farm families. During his first administration, Trump’s tariff trade war required more than $32 billion in bailouts for farmers. The current reality is that U.S. farm policies have splintered rural economies. Small and medium-sized farms struggle to merely break even from farming."

The Associated Press is reporting that "Heading into this year, most U.S. farmers were hoping to break even or maybe record a small profit if they could find a way to limit their sky-high costs. But now they are faced with losing the biggest export market for many of their crops after China retaliated against President Donald Trump’s tariffs."

"Soybean and sorghum farmers have particular reason to worry because at least half of those crops are exported and China has long been the biggest buyer. China has also bought a lot of American corn, beef, chicken and other crops as part of spending $24.65 billion on U.S. agricultural products last year. Now with China slapping 34% tariffs on all American products Friday — on top of other tariffs it imposed earlier this year — all of those products will be significantly more expensive in China."

"Dufault said he is worried that these new tariffs might put many farmers out of business, including the young farmers he rented his land to heading into this year as he retired because they likely won’t make anything in 2025."

Surrey Mexican Cartel Civil forfeiture case

March 13th 2025 the Surrey Now Leader reported that "B.C.'s director of civil forfeiture has filed a claim to seize property, vehicles and items owned by Surrey residents connected to a Mexican drug cartel. The notice of claim was filed in the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on Tuesday (March 12) against the owner of the 16767 77 Ave. property, James Sclater, two other individuals who resided at the home and two others associated with them."

"The claim alleges that Sclater, Hector Armando Chavez-Anchondo, and John Brian Whalen Jr. were members of the same drug trafficking organization that used violence or threats of violence to achieve its aims."

"The director claims that allegedly the drug trafficking organization trafficked controlled substances, including ketamine, methamphetamine, alprazolam, oxycodone, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”) and fentanyl into Canada with the intent to distribute it."

"It states that since June 21, Sclater, Chavez-Anchondo, and Whalen Jr. had attempted and conspired to import cocaine into Canada from Mexico." 

OK this is nothing new. All these Hells Angels trucking rings bringing cocaine in from Mexico through LA are well documented. Just because the Hells Angels buy cocaine from Mexico that doesn't mean the Cartel is in Canada. 

The lawsuit claims this drug ring started June 21st. The facts say otherwise. They're trying to seize the house. If that house was bought with the proceeds of crime, this drug trafficking networks started long before June 21st. 

CTV is reporting that "The home, valued at more than $2.2 million, was already the subject of a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed last fall. Now, the government is also attempting to seize more than $15,000 in cash, several vehicles, multiple custom motorcycles, and jewelry." Custom motorcycles?

At that time CTV reported that "Three people were arrested, but charges have yet to be laid." OK so let's look at the CSO. All three were charged December 24th 2024. Imagine that. The charges listed are "further detention."

Their first appearance on that charge was December 23rd 2024 in Kelowna. Their last appearance on that charge was February 7th 2025 in Kelowna. If you read the least Colombia in the first screenshot it says end then APA which means Application/Appeal abandoned. Does that mean the matter moved for Provincial court to Supreme court? I don't know. Does it mean the charges were stayed? I don't know. I'm just saying this while thing is FAF. Fishy As F*ck.

There have been previous arrests in the case so they've been following these guys for a long time. While they have been following them they have observed a significant amount of drug trafficking and now all they want to do is seize the proceeds of crime. If that isn't suspicious, I don't know what is.
