A Voice of reason amidst a daily dose of insanity

I was going to take a break from blogging because I'm just not feeling it. I want to be positive and stay positive and I want to stay far away from all the crazy things going on. I see some social media influencers pick on some pretty bizarre extremes and I don't want to do that.

People can be anything they want to be and that includes crazy. I don't want to hate on crazy people. However, today is just another example of a whole list of absolutely insane headlines in the news that need to be addressed. A coworker keeps mentioning that when he reads a news headline now he stops and says wait is this real or is this Saturday Night Live?

He rightfully observes that five years ago no one would have believed all the insane news headlines we're getting every day would ever have been possible. It's like we're getting bombarded with crazy coming straight from the media. Let's start with the complaints from hospital staff of violence from patients using illegal drugs in BC hospitals.

The original articles I saw are buried but I'll link to the new ones. First I heard people were complaining about illegal drug use in BC Hospitals which is not surprising since a former nurse told me when she was in emergency they had patients lined up in the hallways for a safe injection site. Then I read a spin piece in the CBC claiming that the opposition was making it up. Right beside that was an article from the Vancouver Sun stating the concerns were expressed by nurses in the hospital. Now all the articles admit the concerns were coming from nursing staff.

First of all, this is not new. My daughter used to volunteer at the hospital. However, even though we live in Surrey she decided to volunteer at Royal Colombia in New Westminster because Surrey already had a bad reputation at that time for violent outbursts from drug addicts. Then they made it worse by turning emergency room hallways into safe injection sites.

Now it's even worse than that because decriminalization has empowered addicts to smoke crystal meth in public even at the hospital. Right beside the no smoking signs. That is criminally insane. That is an example of what my coworker was referring to when he said when he hears a news headline now he doesn't know if it's real or if it's Saturday Night Live.

The answer is simple: no smoking period. The Times Colonist is reporting that "BC United Opposition Leader Kevin Falcon says he would ban open drug use in hospitals, as a provincial task force that aims to standardize smoking prohibitions and use of illicit drugs in hospitals met for the first time Thursday. “It would take five minutes to solve this problem and just say no — absolutely no,” said ­Falcon. “No smoking of drugs, no open drug use in the hospitals, full stop, and it would happen immediately.” That is common sense.

Now in all fairness that recently criminally insane decision from the BC Supreme Court has created a minor hiccup. The BC NDP decriminalized hard drugs like Portland. However, like Portland they quickly discovered a huge flaw. The intent of decriminalization was to help addicts get treatment. It was so the police could focus on the drug dealers not the drug addicts. We quickly saw how that completely backfired.

Instead of confronting drug dealers and helping addicts get treatment it simply emboldened both. Drug dealers became much more brazen and drug addicts started smoking crystal meth in public. The NDP tried to fix the problem by making a law banning the use of illegal drugs in public and the mentally deranged judge said you can't do that. AYFKM? This is a flaming example of why the BC Judicial system needs to change. Illegal drugs are illegal. That judge should not be on the bench. He needs to be removed from the bench immediately.

The interim solution is simple. Repeal the decriminalization of drugs like Portland was forced to do. That's the only way you can stop people from using illegal drugs in public and at hospitals.

The Globe and Mail reported that "British Columbia will require all of its hospitals to provide a designated space for patients with substance-use disorders to consume illicit drugs, prompted by concerns that an increase in such activity in prohibited hospital areas was putting health care workers at risk. Health Minister Adrian Dix announced this week that the province would create a task force to standardize rules and create active supports to help patients manage their addictions while in care." That is crazy. David Eby is thankfully back peddling.

There's lots more to say on that but I just wanted to quickly go through a few other ridiculous headlines. The fake news was going off about how some guy handing out conspiracy leaflets outside Donald Trump's fraud trial set himself on fire. This is just another example of how completely crazy things have become. Personally I don't like Donald Trump. I think he's a dick but I know he'll do a hell of a lot better than Joe Biden. Having said that the media's obsession with defaming and misrepresenting Donald Trump is off the hook. Completely. All these ridiculous court cases against the Republican nomination is as Tulsi Gabbard said, weaponizing the Department of Justice. They are trying to prevent his leading opponent from running against him.

CBC is reporting that "Brad Johns has resigned as Nova Scotia's justice minister. His resignation comes a day after he said he didn't believe that domestic violence is an epidemic." That is bat sh*t crazy. Domestic violence is horrible. Any time it happens is too many times. Yet to cancel someone because he expressed his opinion that he didn't feel it was an epidemic is insane. We can debate whether or not it's an epidemic. We can debate how common it is but we cannot debate the reality of how horrible it is. There was a border guard who shot his ex and then shot himself with his service pistol on Vancouver Island a while ago. That was an insane tragedy. To say it's an epidemic is totally arguable.

The Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commissions's final report was a farce. There was no motive. I do not believe Abe shot all those people. RCMP officers were caught shooting up a fire hall where civilians were being kept safe. The fake report didn't mention that. The fake report didn't explain why the RCMP deposited all that money into Abe's bank account either.

We saw how Justin Trudeau conspired with Brenda Lucki to use that suspicious tragedy to gain support for his insane gun control grab knowing that none of the firearms Abe allegedly used were legally obtained. There are a lot of dirty things going on and the fake news is a part of it.

I'm not even going to discuss the Surrey RCMP bullsh*t. Those are the clowns that have hijacked the BC Conservatives. F*ck them. The BC NDP is totally on point when it comes to following through with the transition to a municile Police force in Surrey. Those ego maniacs are completely out of control. The Union has filed a class action grievance from several Surrey Police Officers against harassment from the Surrey RCMP. Fire those f*ckers instantly. All of them.

Another twist is how the fake news is misrepresenting the conflict in Gaza. Killing aid workers and starving women and children is fine for some reason and to express any concerns about it is somehow antisemitic. Our news is completely ignoring the mass weekly protests within Israel demanding Benjamin Netanyahu resign. Netanyahu was now banned those protests.

Instead of covering that they defiantly declare any protest outside of Israel about killing aid workers or starving civilian is branded as anti Israel or pro Hamas. That kind of insanely biased reporting is yet another example of the new crazy that has become acceptable or at least common. Israelis who have severed on the Gaza border know that Hamas could not have gotten in and out with hostages unless Benjamin Netanyahu took everyone guarding the border off that assignment and issued a stand down order. They all know that. That's why they are protesting.

They all know the conflict in Gaza was manufactured yet our media is completely silent about that. In this one video a Jewish protester in Israel comes right out and mentions Netanyahu's ties to Hamas. Hamas didn't assassinate Yitzhak Rabin, a Netanyahu supporter did. Netanyahu and the fake news is actively trying to create division and conflcit in support of the New World Order of insanity. Before that Israelis were singing and dancing to songs of Peace.
