Smoke on the Water Fire in the Sky

Here we go again. This morning on the ride in to work the sun was bright red just above the horizon. I remember the first time I saw that several years ago. I was like What the hell is that? It looked very apocalyptic.

I remembered scriptures saying the moon shall turn to blood but I didn't remember any saying the sun will. Then we realized it was from the forest fire smoke on the horizon so when we saw it again the following summer we knew what it was. Haven't seen it for a few summers but It's back now. The whole sky isn't covered with smoke like it has been but there is definitely a haze of smoke on the horizons. Towards Vernon and towards Spokane. 

Trump was talking sh*t about raising tariffs because of smoke from Canadian forest fires. It goes both ways. Now we're getting smoke from Spokane. 

It's interesting because in Trump's first term there were cult members on the left that obsessed over everything he did. Now we have cult members on the far right that obsess over those cult members on the left without even hesitating to look at the huge MAGA split Trump caused in his second term. From blind on one side to blind on the other. The polarized extremes blind us to the facts. 

Tariffs are taxes. That's not Justin Trudeau saying that, that's Rand Paul saying that. Tariffs are the World Economic Forum's new Carbon tax. The WEF kept cramming carbon tax down our throat to try and convince us that raising taxes is a good thing. In the same way that Tariffs raise taxes on consumers and drives up inflation. It's not rocket science so if you still support Trump but you can't admit that, then you're in a cult just like the far left cult. It's the same thing. 

Just like the Iran war. Charlie Kirk opposed the Iran war for good reason. That's why they killed him. The FBI are compulsive liars. All this defamation about Iran is no different than Iraq's WMD which they intentionally lied about. 

The invasion of Lebanon is inexcusable. The unprovoked war with Iran is to facilitate the unprovoked invasion of Lebanon. It is evil. When it comes to the struggle between good versus evil, right now we're on the wrong side.  

It's not just left and right. It's the devil meddling with the affairs of man. Satan inspired Hitler to invade Poland so Stalin could liberate them from Hitler and make their slavery complete. It's the same with Netanyahu. Satan inspired Netanyahu to commit atrocities to justify the UN's New World Order. From one extreme to the other just like Hitler and Stalin. 

Again the forest fire saga is like a broken record and the good old US of A is being attacked with lies. The Maui fire was the most obvious. Property developers wanted the land so they set it on fire. Then they cut off the water so even the locals couldn't protect their homes. The Maui fire was the most obvious and the most sinister yet that pattern keeps repeating itself.  

Then there was the LA fire. They cut off the water for that fire as well. They came up with a ridiculous story about diverting water to save fish. You know the saying, there's a lot of fish in the sea? Well there's a lot of water in the ocean as well. The LA water diversion fraud was a cockamamy idea to save the Delta smelt. Small fish that live in shallow water on the edge of the coastline. 

LA was getting it's water from a river. Then some whack job said we need to stop diverting water from the river so the small fish that live in the shallow water on the coastline won't die. For f*ck's sakes. 1) It doesn't matter how much water you take out of the ocean, if the tide goes in or out, the small fish will move with the tide. You're never going to dry up the ocean. They keep claiming the ocean water levels are rising from melting ice due to global warming.

2) Water is a renewable resource. If you dump a thousand liters of water on a fire in LA where will that water go? Back to the ocean. This claim was so stupid it's amazing anyone ever made the claim.  

Then when Trump pointed that out the fake news lied and said no one ever said that. Yes they did. That was the reason they gave for diverting the water. The fake news straight up lied.

Now in addition to hotter dryer summers we're seeing a whole lot of arson. That is mentally deranged. If we care about the environment and preach the Net Zero fraud, then we will attack forest fires far more aggressively because forest fires pollute the environment. There are more CO2 emissions from the forest fires in Canada than all the automobiles in Canada. 

These Super scooper water bombers are the answer. Fake science is not. 

Spokane forest fire was arson

BBC is reporting that "A man arrested on suspicion of arson in a large wildfire in Spokane, Washington, was previously linked to two other fire investigations last year. Aaron Farinacci, 37, was allegedly seen kneeling near grass at the site of the latest blaze and was later found to have matches and a lighter, the Spokane County Sheriff said."

"The fire is the largest of three burning around the north-western US state's second-most-populous city, forcing more than 60,000 people to evacuate and destroying more than 700 buildings. None of the fires has been contained near Spokane, a city of some 230,000 people about 280 miles (450 km) east of Seattle."

Houses burning in Vernon on the lake

How many times do we have to talk about the BC Government's criminal culpability in forest fire mismanagement. This is disgusting. There is no reason houses on a lake should burn to the ground. Water bombers can fill up on the lake. This is a criminal conspiracy right before our eyes. The one house is being saved because they are hosing it down with water, from the lake.

We all know the agenda. They cut the water off for the Maui fire and the LA fire. Then they came up with a bullsh*t excuse. It's the same with forest fire mismanagement in BC. They stopped using water bombers and stated using helicopters with buckets. They said it was because they were more precise. That's like using a watering can on a house fire. To stop a forest fire, the more water the better. Their excuse was a lie. 

Then they stated using water bombers with chemicals. How long does it take to refill that plane? The whole idea behind the float planes is that they can refill on the lake or ocean. That greatly reduces their refill time and puts them right back on the fire dropping more water. When you dump chemicals, where do you refill? The airport? How long does that take? They keep coming up with bullsh*t excuses to promote burning cities to the ground. Everyone can see that.

Don't get me started on back burns. 

Americans support Netanyahu arrest by 22-point margin

The Hill is reporting that "Nearly half of Americans believer the U.S. should arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his actions in Israel’s war in Gaza, according to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov."

"When asked if the U.S. should enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Netanyahu, 49 percent of respondents in the poll said “yes,” while 27 percent said “no” and 23 percent were unsure."

"The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, accusing him of using starvation as a method of warfare and committing crimes against humanity, including murder and persecution. It also alleges that the prime minister intentionally directed an attack against the civilian population in Gaza."

This is a dangerous precedent. Netanyahu is a POS but handing over power to an International court is a bad idea with a bad agenda behind it. When we talk about balancing the extremes a more logical response would be to cut off All funding to Israel including military funding since Netanyahu is using that funding to commit atrocities. Margaret Thatcher did it in 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon. There is no reason we can't do the same thing now. 

Daniel Kinahan's extradition from the UAE

The Irish Times is reporting that "Daniel Kinahan has failed in his final appeal against his extradition from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the Republic. The 49-year-old, a leader of the Kinahan cartel, has been in custody in Dubai since April. He was arrested as part of a joint operation between the Garda and authorities in UAE on foot of an extradition request from the Irish authorities."

"He will face charges in the Special Criminal Court on his return to the State. It was previously thought the extradition process could run until the end of the year. However, it concluded faster than expected after Kinahan lodged his final appeal earlier this month."

"Sources in the Republic with knowledge of the extradition process on Thursday confirmed reports that Kinahan’s appeal had been unsuccessful. Final approval for his extradition must now be granted by UAE minister for justice Abdullah bin Sultan bin Awad Al Nuaimi, who is expected to sign off on the court’s decision."

The UAE has teamed up with Blackwater and the CIA to send mercenaries to Sudan who are committing war crimes so this new super villain drama is once again suspicious. CSIS Sam's defiant bullsh*t ties the Kinahans to Ryan Wedding. 

Opinder Singh Sian was a member of the Brothers Keepers who work for the Edmonton Hells Angels not for Ryan Wedding or the Kinahans so all these lies have an obvious motive. CSIS Sam is still trying to blame China for CIA drug trafficking routes. India's defiant lies about Opinder are laughable. 

Kash Patel has driven foreign confidence in US Intelligence to an all time low. 

"Pro Khalistan gangster." Agents of India defame Khalistan supporters claiming they are all terrorists. They defamed Hardeep Singh Nijjar before they murdered him. An Agent of India made a fake profile on X impersonating the Dirty News Blogger and defamed him by falsely accusing him of making statements that he didn't make about a Khalistan referendum. 

ISI is Pakistan's intelligence agency which is tied to the CIA. Together they created ISIS K after the US murdered the Iranian general responsible for defeating ISIS in Syria. Agents of India initially claimed the Brother's Keepers from Edmonton who murdered Hardeep Singh Nijjar were tied to ISI. That was a ridiculous lie. 

Likewise Opinder Singh Sian has nothing to do with ISI or Hezbollah. The Hezbollah defamation is an obvious front for the unprovoked invasion of Lebanon. The same with the ridiculous claims Ryan Wedding was tied to Hezbollah. It's part of the Iran defamation in support of the Lebanon invasion. 

Soul Searching, Alaska Highway

I've had some time off to reflect before I go back to work and do some soul searching. I came up empty. We've seen so many atrocities committed in the name of religion lately. Donald Trump has turned out to be a complete a*shole committing atrocities in Iran while Netanyahu is a straight up Satanist. We're stuck in that November rut because nothing will change until elections and midterms. It all keeps coming back to the title page of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

"And what is good Phaedrus and what is not good? Need we ask anyone to tell us these things." I don't need a religion to tell me what these animals are doing is evil and any religion that calls evil good is a false religion. So there it is. 

I had mentioned in my eBook that I was having some health challenges and I had mentioned that I had hit a turning point. Well those health challenges have been resolved. The new meds were indeed a game changer and things in that area are healing nicely. Unfortunately, I've also blown out my other hip so I'm back to using a cane and hooking it on the handlebars of my motorcycle. 

In 2021 I blew out my right hip and had a hip replacement. Now, right after I get over the vasculitis, I blow out my other hip. That is bad luck. It's still a whole lot better than cancer but it has set me back quite a bit so it has. 

I ordered a custom sissy bar for my bike so I could use the sissy bar backpack I have on road trips. Sadly, it doesn't fit. The rear seat won't bolt down. I was brainstorming what I could do so I unscrewed the backrest to my stock passenger seat and screwed in a one and a half foot piece of one by 8. The backpack fits on it perfectly so I painted it black and am good to go. That was a cheap fix. The custom sissy bar which is now useless wasn't so cheap. 

I did a fair bit of riding in the sunshine today and a two stroke passed as I cringed. I hate two strokes. They are so loud and high pitch. There are very irritating. Then a Harley gunned it and I'm like that's not as bad but that 'aint me. I really like to ride but I really don't like the excessive noise. It's not very Zen. 

I also got a tool bag for my front forks. Now that is retro. 

So I'm finally ready for the road trips. It's just that I'm not ready to cross the border yet until things change with the next administration and the ICE Nazi's are gone. I'm still going to use my giant dry sack for my sleeping bag and tent. I'll just attach it horizontally on top of the passenger seat. 

Whenever I boot up my laptop different backgrounds appear of beautiful places around the world to which I often click like. Recently there was a picture of Anchorage Alaska at night and I thought oh that looks nice. City lights nestled in the mountains. Trump has created a lot of animosity with foreign nations making America one of the least desirable tourist destinations right now. Yet Alaska does look appealing. 

Trump's been going off again about Tariffs and it's at the point now where we just shut him off and stop listening. Trump 2.0 started off as a rage baiter saying really offensive things but now we just shut him off and don't even listen. We'll just go somewhere else and buy from other countries instead. 

That whole booing the American national anthem when Trump was trying to extort us into become the 51st State really described what we felt but I think for the most part we're over it. There's no more knee jerk reaction to the rage baiter. Now we just shut him off and ignore him. He certainly isn't a very good salesman. He doesn't make us want to visit his country or buy his products. 

It is sad because America are our neighbors and used to be our closest ally. Not any more. Yet he too will pass. Canada has a whole set of it's own problems without him. Yet the arrogance and intolerance leaves a very bad taste in one's mouth. Again we're left with polarized extremism which we also see here. 

I would like to take a trip down the Oregon coast and visit the Grand Canyon. When I go back east I wanted to ride down to New York and get a picture of the sun rising behind the Statue of Liberty but that landmark has become such a huge disappointment. The current polarization has destroyed the meaning behind the Statue of Liberty and the American dream. 

I bought a book called the Great Canadian Bucket List talking about nice places to visit off the beaten track. One of the things I look forward to seeing and doing in Ontario and Quebec is camping outdoors. 

One of my pet peeves about British Colombia is the fact that during the summer, all the campsites are full. When I went on a road trip to Bowron Lakes beside Wells and Barkerville, I came down through Pemberton and Squamish. Everywhere I stopped the campsites were full. I had to drive home and spend the night in Surrey before continuing on up the Sunshine coast to Powel River and Lund. 

The whole Easy Rider pack up your motorcycle and go for a ride implies there are campsites you can stop at along the way. Montana looks nice. A little quieter. 

Lots going on in the City

There's another big orange moon just above the horizon tonight. There's also lots going on. Live music outdoors at Deep Cove. Drone show on Grouse. Fireworks at English bay. I always avoid those crowds. There were lots of people parked at the look out spot on Cypress to watch the fireworks but it's s bit far. You can see Ambleside and Third beach from there but English bay is on the other side. It's still better than getting stuck in traffic with all the crowds. 

The top picture is of Vancouver City from the chairlift coming down last night. Above it you can see water and above that you can see the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island. When it's clear you can see Vancouver Island from the mainland.

Bright Orange Full Moon on the Horizon

Take a look at the moon out there. It's a huge orange harvest moon just above the horizon. My camera can't get a good picture of it but you can see it from the webcam on Sky Chair. We were on Sky Chair tonight for the sunset.

It was a bit cloudy for the sunset but the rest of the horizon had a nice orange glow. Very quiet. Very peaceful. You can see Vancouver Island very clearly.

They have lots going on Grouse mountain this weekend.

Community members rally in support of Genocide

Update: Now we're seeing tons of videos of Orthodox Jews who denounce genocide and denounce the new Fascist definition of Zionism. That's not what Zionism was supposed to represent. 

Heavy sigh. The fake news is going on about how community members gather at a Jewish owned bakery in Toronto that was shot at. This is a prime example of the mainstream media's criminal culpability in defiant genocide. 

Obviously, if a Jewish Synagogue was vandalized or shot at or if a church was burnt to the ground, we should rally together and oppose that. Obviously Mosaad has a long history of committing false flag attacks to play the victim so they can rationalize committing atrocities. The 1994 bombing outside the Israeli embassy in London is but one example of many. 

The two shootings at the US consulate in Toronto is another. Gang bangers were paid to shoot at the embassy when it was closed. They were not paid by Iran. As I keep saying, the US Intelligence Agencies are way too involved in Canadian drugs and politics. 

The US Intelligence agencies would commit a false flag attack and blame it on Iran in a heartbeat. Case in point the fake beheading plot of Goldie Ghamari. They couldn't have chosen and more fringe extremist to victimize. She called for the bombing of Mosques. That lie was so obvious the only outlets that covered it was Sam Cooper, the Jerusalem Post and Ynet another Mossad news outlet. 

In the Toronto synagogue vandalization, a homeless man admitted he was paid to do it by a white man who gave him supplies and transportation to do it. Then Google hides that blog post behind a warning. Google is promoting anti semitism by hiding Netanyahu's atrocities. 

The fake beheading plot of Goldie Ghamari was clearly orchestrated to support the unprovoked invasion of Lebanon. So are these false flag synagogue attacks where homeless are paid to vandalize a synagogue and gang bangers are paid to shoot at synagogues and the US Consulate. Iran isn't paying them to do this. The US Intelligence agencies are. We need to address that.

FBI in Vancouver

City News is reporting that "A man allegedly involved in a Vancouver-based organized crime group accused of drug trafficking has been added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Amritpal Singh is alleged to have been part of a transnational criminal organization known as the Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group."

For f*ck's sake. At least they're not calling it the Ryan Wedding or Lawrence Bishnoi group this time. Yet it's clearly the same sh*t in the same pile. If he's running drugs out of Vancouver he's working for the Hells Angels namely the Wolf Pack and the Edmonton Angels. There's no way around that.

FBI, FBI, FBI - STFU with this FBI bullsh*t. Kash Patel is an idiot. He is helping to bring foreign trust in US Intelligence to an all time low. The pattern of lies is consistent. It's not the Hells Angels it's the Mexican Cartel. It's not the Hells Angels it's Ryan Wedding. It's not the Hells Angels it's the Lawrence Bishoni group. It's not the Hells Angels it's the Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group. F*ck off. Everyone on the planet can see law enforcement in BC is completely compromised and the FBI is the root of it.
