The 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising

This Easter marks the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising. No, I'm not talking about the resurrection of Christ. I'm refering to an uprising in Dublin that happened in 1916. In the North, Irish Republicans (people who believe in a free republic) wear an Easter lily to commemorate the event. Aside from blooming at Easter, the Easter lily is white green and orange - the same colours as the flag for the Republic of Ireland. Orange represents Protestant, green represents Catholic and white represents peace between the two.A noble model indeed.

The actual Easter rising lasted from April 24th until April 30th 1916. Easter comes early this year. The beginning of the movie Michael Collins with Liam Neeson is a good explanation of what happened. A group of rebels took up arms and seized the main post office in Dublin and shot it out with British troops. They eventually surrendered but seven of the leaders signed their names to an eloquent proclamation similar to the American Declaration of Independence and were executed by firing squad. They asserted their inalienable right to freedom and were executed for doing so. They signed their proclamation to the world with their own blood. Although the event failed, it put the dream on paper and rallied the public in it's support.

The movie Michael Collins was an excellent explanation of how Michael Collins helped organize a follow up rebellion and how he was ultimately shafted by being sent to England to negotiate a settlement. He came back with a compromise. It wasn't a free republic for all of Ireland like they wanted, it was a stepping stone to that end. It was the establishment of a free state in the south of Ireland with the promise of one day becoming a free Republic. The people were split. Some saw it as treason to give up claim to the north. That is why the song A Nation Once Again dreams about the day when Ireland long a province be, a nation once again. Ireland consists of four provinces. Ulster is it's own country and is still part of Great Britain.

Yet after going to England Michael Collins knew this was the best they were going to get at the time. Sadly, a civl war broke out over the division. Those who supported the treaty won and a free state was established which has now indeed become a free republic. Yet the north is as I said, still part of England and the struggle continued. Ian Paisley led a group of racist Protestants that would burn the tricolour flag and it's quest for peace and shout Ulster says No. When I was in Belfast in 88/89 they had a banner on the top of City Hall that coined that phrase Ulster Says No (to peace and a united Ireland).

The problem in Northern Ireland is similar to the Quebec conflict in Canada and the Ukrainian conflict with Russia. Half the people want to be independent and half the people don't. That is why conflict has rekindled in Northern Ireland. Some see Gerry Adams signing of the Good Friday accord in 1998 as treason just like they saw Michael Collins compromise as treason. Yet if we truly believe in democracy we have to recognize the existence of 50% of the population who don't want what we want. That is why there needs to be some kind of compromise. I'm not saying give up on the dream. I'm just saying lay down your arms and support the democratic process. By far the majority of the people in the north just want the violence to finally stop. It's not about Catholic versus Protestant. It's about learning to coexist in peace.

Laila Yuile's blog and twitter has ben Hacked

CKNW is confirming EAF's report that Laila Yuile's blog and twitter has been hacked. Laila is a well known Surrey blogger that now also writes for newspapers. CKNW is reporting that her blog and twitter was hacked by someone who claims to be from the group “Anonymous” but Laila doesn't think it really is someone from that group. She's right. That is the core of the conflict. This is a corporate hack impersonating Anonymous. Can we say false flag now?

Every crime has a means and a motive. Does Anonymous have the means to hack Laila's blog and twitter? By all means. Do they have a motive? Not on your life. Think about it. Laila has been vocal about the Site C Dam. The hack happened last night after her last blog post about the project. Why would Anonymous want to shut that blog down? They wouldn't. One of their own guys was shot dead by a cop in Dawson Creek protesting the Site C Dam. Anonymous didn't hack her blog. Someone pretending to be anonymous did.

So what does this mean? It means that group of hackers "fighting" ISIS and hacking Donald Trump's web site are not really "Anonymous" they are *someone* else. So now we have a group of hackers working in support of the CIA's corporate agenda pretending to be anonymous when they aren't they are on the agency's payroll. Buyer Beware.

Personally I don't have a problem with the Site C dam. Other than collecting water for fracking. I'm from Vancouver. Hydroelectric power has served us well: Take a look at the Cleveland Dam. Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, the Seymour watershed in addition to the Capilano watershed are all green forms of energy that serve us well. Hydroelectric power is a lot better than nuclear reactors. I do however, support people's right to protest the project and agree that this kind of censorship diminishes all of us. Perhaps valid concerns with the project include the size of the dam and the amount of area it will flood as well as the cost of the dam. Both of those seem excessive.

Note: The Twitter post says @NewWorldHacking retrieved the account. I'm not sure if that means anonymous has hacked it back for her or what. However, if they had hacked it back for her they would have given it back by now. The fact that it is still offline is very suspect. If they hacked her second twitter account which is what the twitter post implies, then they are the fraud falsely representing Anonymous and everything that account does is suspect.

Operation Gladio and the Brussels Attack

Operation Northwoods was a sinister plot to kill American civilians on American soil and blame it on terrorists to justify an invasion of Cuba in 1962. The plan was submitted by Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA and approved by Lyman Lemnitzer, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Kennedy vetoed the plan, fired Allen Dulles and reassigned Lyman Lemnitzer to Europe.

No conspiracy nutcase made up Operation Northwoods. The declassified document is real. If Kennedy hadn't vetoed the plan they would have implemented it. We need to address this because when Lyman Lemnitzer was reassigned to Europe, he actually implemented the same plan in Europe as Operation Gladio. BBC ran a documentary on that horrific operation.

The recent tragic events in Brussels forces us to reexamine Operation Northwoods and Operation Gladio. The "intelligence community" need more public accountability not less. Especially after the Air India bombing. CSIS were the ones that provided the explosives for that attack.

We also need to ask why was CSIS aiding ISIS? That was recorded in the Globe and Mail as well as the Ottawa Citizen and has yet to be addressed. Lest we forget.



Likewise, the Paris attacks also force us to reexamine the the Karachi affair. Nicolas Sarkozy was accused of getting political kickbacks from an arms deal with Pakistan. When the deal was cancelled and his kickbacks were cut off he was accused of helping organize a terrorist bombing in Pakistan that killed French engineers. French intelligence is as corrupt as British, American and Canadian intelligence. Buyer Beware.

What is the motive behind the Brussels attack? There is none. It's not a message for Belgium to get out of the war in Afghanistan or Iraq. There is no real motive behind the attack other than to create chaos and widespread fear which simply makes no sense whatsoever.



The Belgian attack in Brussels happened on March 22nd. 322 is a Skull and Bones symbol. Muslim radicals aren't members of the Skull and Bones.

Weeks ahead of the deadly blasts, Israeli security assessment found Brussels airport had ‘significant shortcomings’. Two days after the attack the Observer ran an article claiming Belgium Must Learn From Israeli Airport Security. There is your motive. Weeks before the attack Israeli security warns the Brussels airport that there are weaknesses in their security then after the attack they say we told you so now you have to hire us to do your security.

That's like back in the old country. A paramilitary group says you better pay us protection money or your job site might have an accident. Then the job site has an accident and they say we told ya so. If you pay us protection money you won't have those kind of accidents any more.

However, former Israeli intelligence officers were in fact already doing the security at the Brussels airport and the bombs were planted before hand they weren't dropped off in a suitcase or worn by a suicdie bomber. ICTS is the same security firm that did security at the airports during 911.



I want to be clear that I am not anti Israel. I support Israel's right to exist and duty to coexist. Every race, religion, trade union and political organization has good and bad. The problem isn't Israel, the problem is the secret intelligence agencies within any large county whether that be Canada, the United States, England, France or Israel. Mossad's problem is that it works too closely with the CIA especially in their drug trafficking operations.

Justin Trudeau's debt is spiraling out of control

The Linerals projected $10 billion anual deficit is continuing to spiral out of control. Finance Minister Bill Morneau now says the deficit could be $18.4 billion, even before accounting for so-called stimulus spending that could push the shortfall as high as $25 billion. This is complete irresponsibility. Even the NDP realize you have to balance the budget. Recklessly using an unlimited credit card that binds your children by compound interest for generations is selfish and short sighted. Justin's kryptonite is beginning to over power him. Reckless debt was his fathers one flaw. Let's learn from our mistakes and move forward. Let's not do the timewarp again.

2016: Almost a shooting a week in Surrey - 3rd Update

Kevin Diakiw from the Surrey Leader is reporting that "Shots rang out in Newton again this week, bringing to 10 the number of confirmed shootings this year in a city recoiling from continued gun violence." That's almost a shooting a week.

Update: CBC is confirming a Scan BC is reporting that: @SurreyRCMP confirm shots fired near 132nd Street this morning. Believed to be targeted. People in the home are known to police.

2nd Update: Kevin Diakiw from the Surrey Leader is reporting that there was a shooting 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the 10800-block of 143 Street. This would be Surrey's 12th shooting so far this year, representing a shooting every six and a half days. It's all OK though. Bill Fordy did such a great job dancing naked in front of his coworkers they gave the clown a promotion.

The Saga Continues: Castanet is reporting that "shots fired in the area of 128th Street and 56th Avenue in the Panorama Ridge neighbourhood. Reports of gunfire came in just before 1 a.m."

Welcome to the wild, wild west.

East Van: Global is reporting that there was a targeted shooting in the East Vancouver area March 26th. One person was hit, but his injuries are non-life-threatening.

Saint Patrick's Day Weekend

Happy holy day - drink responsibly. Just remember they don't drink green beer in Ireland they drink black beer. You can smell the roasting hops at Saint James's Gate in Dublin. Don't forget it was the Guinness family that built the Lion's Gate bridge in Vancouver so it was.

"I've always hated slavery since the day that I was born. When boyhood's fire was in my blood I read of ancient freemen, For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, Three hundred men and three men; And then I prayed I yet might see Our fetters rent in twain, And Ireland, long a province, be. A Nation once again!" Je me souviens - Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

I was at the Vancouver Occupy demonstration with my Irish drum talking to an irish girl with a tin whistle. A woman came up to us and asked where we were from. I said I'm from Surrey but she's from the Holy Land so she is. The woman smiled and nodded Ah Israel she said. I shook my head and said no, Ireland. It depends on where you're from as to what land is holy. But this is our home now so that makes this land holy too so it does.

Top of the morning to ya Danny Boy. When Irish eyes are smiling, souljas go to war. Erin go Bragh, Tiocfaidh ár lá. Finian is back so he is and I'll be watching ye. Mind how ya go.Like it or not, What's done in the dark will be brought to the light. Cheers.

Surrey Shoting

Scan BC is reporting that #Surrey #RCMP are investigating shots fired into a house near 151 St & 70 Ave. Several windows broken. No injuries reported.

Four people shot at funeral outside Calgary

The Calgary Herald is reporting that "Gunfire erupted in the aftermath of a funeral at the Calgary Muslim Cemetery near Cochrane Friday afternoon, when an altercation broke out between some of the attendees, Mounties say. Four people were dropped off at hospital in Calgary suffering from injuries not considered life-threatening — all of the victims are expected to make full recoveries. Meanwhile, at least one shooter remains free, as currently no one is in custody."

Rather strange they would refer to it as a Muslim cemetery. We don't usually hear reports of Cartel or Mafia murders happening at a Catholic funeral or local gang shootings at a Protestant or Jewish funeral. They usually leave the denomination out because it's simply gang related.

Police say the attack was not racially or radically motivated so it might be more productive to look at who the funeral was for and who was shot or at east who was targeted in the attack. The cemetary was located outside Cochrane which is north west of Calgary.

December of last year the CBC reported that "Turf battles over drugs in Calgary's northeast have escalated into a gang war. Calgary's last gang war, between the FOB and the FK gangs, was also bloody, with more than two dozen homicides from 2002 to 2009." Those two gangs were predominately Asian. The FK were supplied bu the UN while the FB were supplied by the Hells Angels through the BC Independent Soldiers.

The CBC is reporting that "Most of the crime associated with this gang war is happening in Calgary's northeast, primarily in districts four and five. The guns and gangs unit has identified six to seven groups and singled out 59 men who are considered "high level" participants in them. Those identified by police are mostly young men of Middle Eastern descent — although like the Asian street gangs of the early 2000s, they're not exclusively one ethnicity." Now that the leaders of the FOB are behind bars a new rival is emerging through the Middle eastern community. So let me get this straight. The Hells Angels group fizzled out and a new gruop rises to take their place. Gee, I wonder who they are being supplied by? Stop the greed and you will end the violence.

Abbotsford shooting

CBC is reporting that "Two men have been taken to hospital in serious condition after a shooting in Abbotsford. It happened in the 33000 block of Hawthorne Avenue, near Greer Street, at approximately 9:21 p.m. PT Thursday."

Canadian prime minister brings Trudeaumania to White House

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau brought Trudeaumania to America on Thursday and the verdict was a resounding thumbs-up. 'Breath of fresh air', 'impressive' and 'very impressive' was how some of the guests at a splashy White House state dinner in Canada's honor described the country's new leader."

American media called it a family reunion. The last time a Canadian Prime Minister attended a State dinner at the Whitehouse was 19 years ago when his father went. Like his father before him, Justin has class. When asked to denounce Donald Trump he said: "I'm not going to pick a fight with Donald Trump right now. I'm not going to support him either, obviously." He said he's anxious to see how the country "deals with what is obviously a very real set of issues around frustration towards the body politic that we've seen in various iterations around the world."
