Everything’s in it’s Place

Alright soldiers, I’m feeling a little Simon and Garfunkel today. Yeah that’s what I said. Everything has it’s time and place. A time for war, a time for peace. A time to say enough. What they did to Janice Shore was wrong. If they are going to put a cap in my ass for saying that then so be it. If I didn't say anything about that I'd be dead already.

Like Martin Luther King, I’ve been to the mountain top. What happens to me just doesn’t matter. They’re letting people sell crack outside the Carnegie centre and outside the Front Room which caused Janice Shore and Ashley Machiskinic’s murders. Corrupt politicians are getting rich from money laundering and fraud while they break the law and rob our civil liberty. Gentlemen may cry peace peace but there is no peace. The war is already begun.

Jay Walking in Surrey

Have no fear. Selling crack and smoking it is fine in Surrey as long as you don't jay walk. They will bust your ass for that. Glad to see Dianne Watts and Bill Fordy are on top of everything making Surrey safe for everyone during the gang war. 138 million tax dollars on her own personal Ivory Tower but no money for police to bust crack dealers in Newton. May their respective ivory towers fall in around them. Metaphorically speaking of course.

Last night a 33 year old Burnaby man was shot while inside a car and managed to stumble into a restaurant on Vancouver’s Victoria Drive and 35th Avenue to get help. Police say it was a targeted shooting. Looks like spring is starting to heat things up again. Metaphorically speaking.

Avalanche near Lake Louise leaves 2 snowshoers dead - Update

CBC is reporting that an Avalanche near Lake Louise leaves 2 snowshoers dead. Evidently they were at Lake Agnes exactly where I visited last January during the ice carving festival.

A party of five were at the bottom of a steep slope and triggered an avalanche at 3 p.m. while on Lake Agnes. Two snowshoers were buried. The uninjured party members were able to call for assistance with a cell phone and extricated one of the buried snowshoers.

I'm curious as to the exact location. If they were on the lake they weren't at the bottom of a steep slope and couldn't have triggered the avalanche. If they were on the trail on the way to the lake, there definitely are places there where there could be an avalanche. In fact when I was there they said the 1/2 mile trail to Lake Agnes from Mirror Lake was in fact closed due to avalanche conditions but I assessed the risk and decided to proceed. Makes me kinda think twice about my risk assessment.



Update: Two separate avalanches near Lake Louise Saturday. CTV is reporting one of those avalanches claimed the life of a father and son at the base of Mount Fairview on the shore of Lake Louise. The other one resulted in a Calgary man in critical condition who was skiing with a group in the back country. Fairview is that awesome short trail near the Chateau right on the lake.

Tragically the father and his 11 year old son were simply tobogganing on the left hand side of the lake and were burried for a week before they were found. You can see the chateau from here. There is all kinds of spin going on calling it avalanche slope claiming they were negligent but come on, they were tourists. There id a trail up that slope that I snowshoed up myself when I was there and there are cross country ski trails on that side of the lake. It's a real tragedy. Eight deaths in one week in BC avalanches.

Obama claims Crimea referendum illegal

OK I'm a little confused. The Vancouver Province is reporting that Obama claims a Crimea referendum is illegal and Harper says Canada will not recognize its forthcoming referendum on whether to join Russia. We know Harper is an idiot but I'm curious as to where Obama's arrogance is coming from? Since when is an election contrary to democracy? It's as though he's being advised by Goldman Sachs or something.

So let's have a recap. The Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union. Now they are free and independent. The EU want the Ukraine to join the EU and Russia wants them to join back with Russia. Russia gave the Ukraine a financial bribe to join with them and people started protesting. The Russian military then invaded to protect Russians living in Crimea. OK so that is all a very bad precedent. That is an invasion of a sovereign state.

However, in that region of the Ukraine there appears to be pro Russia supporters who would rather join with Russia then join with the EU. Having a referendum would be the most democratic way to determine just how many people there want to return to Russia. Obviously Russia is not known for fair elections. Putin himself has been accused of rigging elections just like George Bush has been. Holding an election during a military occupation is clearly a farce.

However, having the military pull out and having a neutral third party like Switzerland hold the referendum would be the most democratic solution to the crisis possible. Why would Obama say a referendum is illegal and undemocratic? That is suspicious. Certainly there are huge concerns about the credibility of Russia holding the referendum. Yet surely there is nothing wrong with a neutral third party holding a legitimate referendum on the matter.

Goldman Sachs should not be advising anyone

Henry Paulson was the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and became the US treasury secretary under George W. Bush. Many felt issuing the bank bail out was a conflict of interest. Likewise, Goldman Sachs became Obama's #1 Private Contributor. Under the Obama Administration, in 2009 alone, Goldman Sachs took more than $20 billion in taxpayer cash through bailouts, payments and backstops; and then turned around and paid out $16.2 B as 2009 bonuses, plus an additional $5 B more in bonuses in 2010. Donating $1.6 B to Obama's campaign represented less than 10% of the $20 B “bailout” Goldman Sachs received. Not a bad investment return.

Several former Goldman executives hold senior positions in the Obama administration, including Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Mark Patterson, a former Goldman lobbyist who is chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; and Robert Hormats, the undersecretary of state for economic, energy and agricultural affairs.

Goldman Sachs does not represent business. Bill Gates represents business. Goldman Sachs has been caught defrauding the public on more than one occasion. They hid Greek's debt from the EU which was created through investment fraud. Why on earth does a criminal organization like that which has defrauded billions of tax dollars hold senior positions in the US Government?

This is a huge concern. It does not mean we jump out of the frying pan and into the fire by adapting Revolutionary Communism. Communism is even worse. In fact the same bankers that are buying the government fund Communism. They are one in the same. This is something we need to address. Our civil liberty depends on it.

Bill C-13 does away with civil liberty

Speaking of Stephen Harper's Corporate Communism, Open media.ca has put out a new youtube video about bill C-13 that has been picked up by the Huffington Post. Warrantless surveillance is illegal. They are violating the Constitution and the Charter of Rights. There is nothing good about this deception. This is big brother in your face. Everything he promised to oppose. Sound familiar?

Vikileaks Toews, the good Christian who had an affair on his wife and fathered a child with a younger woman originally said anyone who opposes this bill supports pedophiles. That was a bold faced lie. When the media told him the bill gives the police the right to put someone under surveillance who has not been accused of a crime he said he was surprised to find out that was in the bill. Liar. Even Michael Geist opposes it. Somehow I don't think he supports pedophiles. This is about protecting civl liberty. Something the Harper government opposes.

Jason Yeo found guilty of organizing PEI home invasion

CBC is reporting that Jason Yeo has been found guilty of organizing an Emyvale home invasion and will be sentenced on March 31. This was the drug rip he orchestrated because he said one of his co conspirators owed him a debt after their drug shipment was busted by the police.

Four Teenagers arrested for armed robbery at Surrey pharmacy

CTV is reporting that four teenagers have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a Surrey pharmacy Tuesday night, just one week after officials voiced concern over a number of drugstore thefts in the city. The teens were arrested in Burnaby by the VPD.

I'm glad they made the arrest. I'm just wondering why they bother arresting these kids when they let everyone else sell stolen pharmaceutical drugs outside the Carnegie centre in East Van. I mean why arrest one but not the other? It just doesn't make sense.

I thought the government said they were banning oxys because of all the theft and misuse. That doesn't seem to be happening. The over prescription of oxys is still rampant. The pharmaceutical scam continues.

Defending a Free Republic

The last post about Putin using a MC to invade the Ukraine has generated some very interesting discussion. I want to be very clear about the difference between Capitalism and Freedom. Many people today think they are on in the same but there is a huge difference. Capitalism is a condition that exists within a free market. The free market represents democracy not the greed of Capitalism. Greed in itself is not good. A Free Republic is good.

I do admire the Americans. They have a very high respect for their flag. They never let it touch the ground. They view it as sacred. They even say a pledge of allegiance to the flag and the Free Republic it represents. The US Constitution guarantees a Republican government.

The Founding Fathers were not referring to Capitalism or George Bush. They were referring to a Free Republic where civil liberty was protected by law not abolished by a manifesto. The movie Gladiator was about the struggle to establish a free republic. So was the Star Wars saga. Eddy Murphy was in a comedy called Distinguished Gentlemen which was about the corruption among the lobbyists in Washington. In Michael Moore's last documentary Capitalism a love story, he illustrated some of the corruption that plagues both parties in the senate. How senators get campaign contributions in the form of insider trading tips on Wall Street like what they threw Martha Stewart in jail for.

It was interesting to hear of the threats and the opposition Michele Moore received for exposing Senator Dodd and the insider trading corruption that plagued the Democrats as well as the Republicans. They told him to cool it. His position was that he would expose corruption on either side on the political fence not just on one side.

So without question the insider trading that is bribing US government officials is staggering but get this. It is nothing compared to the wealth among the politicians in Communist China which promises to oppose the greed of Capitalism. In reality they are far worse offenders.

The Business Insider is reporting that the 70 Richest Members Of China's 'Congress' Are Worth $90 Billion. This is more than the $7.5 billion net worth of all 660 top officials in the three branches of the U.S. government. History repeats itself. Corruption infiltrates both sides of the fence. Communism does not represent social justice and does not oppose the greed of the big banks. They are in reality funded by the big banks only to become much worse offenders. So you say you want a revolution? Just be careful the devil you don’t know isn’t worse than the devil you do know.

Putin recruits Russian MC

Well this is interesting. The Telegraph in England is reporting that the Night Wolves are Russia’s largest motorbike club, with over 5,000 members. They appear to be aligned with the Bandidos not the Hells Angles.

Following feminist group Pussy Riot’s ‘punk prayer’ in a Moscow cathedral, the Night Wolves offered to guard Orthodox cathedrals against any further ‘hooliganism’. Bikers protecting a church against vandalism? That's ironic.

They are mobilizing in the Ukraine in support of Russian troops there. It sure is a mixed up world so it is. Just ask the Kinks. The Aging Rebel has also done a write up about them.

East Vancouver open air drug markets

Here we go again. Banging our head against the wall. Front page of the Vancouver Province was a picture outside the infamous Carnegie center in East Vancouver talking about all the drugs for sale outside. Everyone knows the police let them sell drugs there. The whole drug war is a complete farce as long as they let them do that.

The new news is that prescription drugs are now sold there just as much as crack and crystal meth which opens up Pandora's box as to more tax dollars getting ripped off by drug dealers.

Once again it focuses on the root of the problem. Why the fuck are we letting drug dealers sell crack, crystal meth and stolen oxy's outside the Carnegie centre? It makes no sense whatsoever. Selling hard drugs is illegal. Busting someone for growing some pot but letting someone else sell crack outside the Front Room in Surrey or outside the Carnegie Centre in East Vancouver is criminally insane. The spin off violence is off the hook.

We are enabling the predatory drug dealers that beat Janice Shore to death for a drug debt in Surrey and pushed Ashley Machiskinic out of a window for a drug debt in East Vancouver. Letting these predatory drug dealers exploit the homeless is not being compassionate. It's being cruel and heartless. The same with handing out free crack pipes and mouth pieces. This is absolutely insane. I don't have to make another blog post ever again. This is the root of the problem right here. Until we address it everything else is a complete waste of time. When we let these drug dealers sell crack in public we are supporting all the trickle down crime and violence that creates which includes the torture and murder of drug addicts for drug debts. That is inhumane.
