State of the Union Part Two: Requiem for the American Dream with Noam Chomsky

There is a thought provoking documentary on Netflix called Requiem for the American Dream with Noam Chomsky. I highly recommend it. Before I dive into my synopsys of that documentary I'm going to raise two points that I disagree with and feel are very important to clarify.

In the beginning of the documentary he quotes James Madison from the debates of the Constitutional convention and states "the major concern for the society has to be to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority." He seems to imply that the intent of the Constitution is to promote inequality and give the rich power over the poor which is in reality the opposite of what the Constitution does. It's not about circumventing democracy. It's about preserving it.

I'll spin the analogy to a different example and show how it relates to this one. Protecting the minority from the majority is a fundamental principle in the Constitution. Take religious freedom for example. If the majority of the people are Protestant and they want to oppress the minority of Catholics, then the Constitution protects the rights of the minority. It goes both ways. If the majority of the people are Catholic and they want to oppress the Protestants, then the Constitution protects the rights of the minority.

Likewise if the majority of the people are Christian or Atheist, then the constitution prevents them from oppressing the Jews, Muslims, Atheists or Christians. The same goes for race. If the majority of the people are white, then the Constitution is framed to prevent them from oppressing the minority who are black and visa versa. Protecting the minority from the majority is very different than helping the minority oppress the majority which is an obvious concern for everyone.

I have heard it said that some Americans are so passionate about protecting the Constitution that they think the Constitution is actually inspired by God. That's because it is. It was predicted that the day would come when the Constitution would hang by a thread and that day has come. We need to be vigilant in protecting the constitution so that the liberty it creates within a Free republic is not lost forever. God is the author of liberty. Satan is the author of slavery. That struggle continues to this day in more ways than one.

The Redistribution of Wealth

I do not believe in the redistribution of wealth. I don't believe in taking the wealth from the rich because protection of persons and property is a fundamental principle in the Constitution. I have no problem with paying taxes. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. I have a problem with excessive taxes, wasting tax dollars and the misappropriation of tax dollars. I have a problem with people like Donald Trump paying zero taxes. That is wrong. The lower taxes the better but everyone should pay their fair share. Michael Moore pointed out how times have changed. The rich used to be in higher tax brackets and pay more taxes than the poor. Now the tables have turned and the rich pay little or no tax while the working class carries the whole tax burden. Not only that but the rich are getting richer from the taxes of the working class. That is messed up.

Even Warren Buffett said the fact that he still pays less tax than his secretary is wrong and he is right. We have gone from one extreme to the other. Low corporate tax is good but not at the expense of consumers. It's not a redistribution of wealth, it's fixing the unjust tax laws that exploit the poor then take tax dollars from the poor and put it directly into the pockets of the rich. Like the Wall Street bailout which was the result of deregulation and fraud which became easier to commit after they deregulated everything. That is wong.

Communism is different than Consecration

It is true that Christ condemned the love of riches and taught to give to the poor. The parable of the sheep and goats taught that is the cutting edge of the final judgement. It is also true that some believe Christ and his apostles lived a higher law where they held all things in common so to speak. Some compare it to socialism but it is very different than communism.

Consecration is based on free agency. Communism is not. If people choose to live in a society where all things are in common, every member of that community commit to living certain rules and standards. One of those rules is the willingness to work. Although Christian service is without that condition, Consecration is not. If you are trying to build the ideal society where all things are held in common and half the peole in that community refuse to work, that ideal society will fail. That's why we need a system built on incentive.

If an angry mob comes into my neighbourhood and says we are going to take what little I have just because they can, I will use reasonable force to oppose them. That is what is referred to as sailors rights - the protection of persons and property. We have a right and duty to defend our homes and families.

Communism is one great big lie. It promises social justice but delivers the opposite. In fact, the inequality of wealth that Noam Chomsky refers to is an example of how Communism is infiltrating our current society. Why do you think the bankers and Rothschilds funded the Communist revolution in Russia? So they could take over the workers revolution and maintain their elite status that we see exists within the politicians in Communist China.

Investment Fraud

Last post we discussed the CIA's control of the media and how they are still spamming the media with press releases on a regular basis trying to control public opinion. Drug trafficking is one of the major concerns about the CIA but that's not all. Investment fraud is another. Former US Navy Intelligence officer Al Martin claimed Jeb Bush instructed him how to commit investment fraud as an additional means to raise money for Iran contra. The Bush family were deeply involved in investment fraud that helped crash banks during the S&L crisis back in the /80's. So was the CIA. The CIA would default on bank loans with the promise that the banks would be bailed out with tax dollars. That is still a huge concern today.

The CIA crashed the BCCI. The common thread in that scam was drug trafficking, money laundering and investment fraud. They did the same thing in Australia where they crashed the Nugan Hand Bank once again through drug trafficking, money laundering and investment fraud. The CBS ran a documentary on it.

Judith A. "Jami" Miscik was the Deputy Director for Intelligence for the CIA. In 2005 she left CIA to become Global Head of Sovereign Risk for the Lehman Brothers firm before it too went bankrupt in 2008. Earl W. Brian embezzled $50 million from Nesbitt Thompson’s clients in Canada for the CIA and went to jail for fraud. He was released from prison in 2002. Investment fraud and the CIA go hand in hand and is another reason we should be much slower to reprint their press releases without confirming the source. Disinformation is their specialty.

The Greek financial crisis was the result of investment fraud. What was public money became private then disappeared. Instead of throwing away the Constitution we need to protect it and eliminate all the deregulation which made investment fraud so prevalent.

Democracy and the Constitution

Under the Constitution a rich man and a poor man have the same vote. If the poor man doesn't exercise that right it's no one's fault but his own. Americans need to be more involved in their primaries so next election they will have a decent choice on the ballot. Peace.

BTW Communism has failed in Venezuela. Once again it failed to deliver.

State of the Union Part One: The CIA's control of the media

State of the Union Part One: The CIA's control of the media

Hillary Clinton obtaining the nomination for the Democrat party has caused me to launch a two part series on the State of the Union. Part one is about the CIA's control of the media and part two is about the documentary Requiem for the American Dream with Noam Chomsky.

Pink Floyd wrote a powerful song called Requiem for a Post war dream and asked Maggie what have we done? Noam Chomsky's documentary Requiem for the American Dream is stirring and thought provoking. He is a very intelligent man. I'm going to make a slightly different conclusion than he has and paint a bit more hopeful future for the state of affairs we are in. I concede his analogies are valid and concerning. Yet I'm a firm believer in the US Constitution and the Free republic. I don't subscribe to the redistribution of wealth. I subscribe to the preservation of civil liberty and the protection of the real American dream life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I don't think this is the worst point in American history. I believe there is hope. I think it's more like a Tale of two Cities by Charles Dickens. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Part One: The CIA's control of the media

Last December I wrote a two part series on Mainstream Media Censorship. Part one was about Media mergers and Corporate advertising while Part two was about the Dan Rather and the Gary Webb story. Media mergers are a concern because when one entity owns all the media outlets, it becomes easier to control. That was clearly demonstrated when Conrad Black was buying up all the newspapers and firing any editor that printed anything labour friendly.

When I refer to labour I'm not talking about a left wing agenda. I'm talking about people who work for a living and unlike Donald Trump actually pay taxes. Abraham Lincoln once said “If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.”

I used to think the media was unbiased and just reported the news. I was very naive. Rupert Murdoch normally endorsed conservative candidates for Prime minister but switched to endorsing Tony Blair who was labour then switched back to conservative by endorsing David Cameron. Rupert Murdoch can vote for and endorse whoever he chooses. He owned the newspaper. When Tony Blair was running for office Murdoch's newspapers would run articles supporting Tony Blair and wouldn't run articles opposing him. The same thing with David Cameron when he ran for office. That isn't just media censorship, that is outright propaganda.

It turns out the Murdoch phone hacking scandal was tied to British Intelligence. Big surprise. How else was he able to tap Princess Diana's phone? This in turn leads us to the direct influence the "Intelligence" community has over the media. We know that MI 6 was caught red handed sending out false press releases about Iraq's weapons of Mass destruction to sell the unlawful invasion of Iraq to the public. That invasion was based on a lie not a mistake. They had no weapons of mass destruction and they knew it before they invaded. Despite the fact that they were the ones that put Saddam Hussein in power and sold him chemical weapons to use on Iran. When Operation Mass Appeal hit the press Dr Kelly, the British Weapons inspector in Iraq who was the whistleblower was found dead of a suspicious suicide.

We know that the CIA sent out the press release about the third tower in New York collapsing before it actually happened. The other day I was browsing through the newspaper and I just felt sick to my stomach. All the crazy drama. It looked like numerous reports were written by the intelligence community trying to control public opinion. Then two days later there was another article about ISIS quoting the director of the CIA.

That was my proof. If they are quoting the Director of the CIA it's pretty obvious the CIA are spamming the media with press releases and the media is blindly printing them because they are too lazy to do any investigative journalism and actually verify the story before printing it. Wouldn't want to ruffle any feathers and end up like Dan Rather. All the local newspapers are the same now. They share stories with each other. There is no alternate view there's just one view. CBC and the Tyee appear to be the only independents left.

The mainstream media's complete burial of Operation Fast and Furious and the continuation of Iran contra which helped Hillary Clinton obtain the Democratic nomination is evidence of how bad it has become. FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has a blog called boiling frogs. The analogy is obviously from the claim that frog are cold blooded. If you put a frog into hot water it will immediately jump out but if you put a frog into a pot of cold water and gradually increase the heat the frog won't notice it and will stay there until it boils.

Why are we printing press releases from the CIA at all? They have been caught intentionally sending out false information in the past. They have been deeply involved in drug trafficking since the Vietnam war. Operation Fast and Furious validated the Gary Webb story and showed us that Iran contra never stopped. Why do we print any of their lies at all? Would we blindly print press releases from the Hells Angels or any other organization of drug traffickers? Why then do we print the CIA's lies? That should stop if the main stream media wants credibility in the eyes of the public who buy their newspapers.

Although the present situation is dark, there is still hope on the horizon. Thanks to supply and demand consumers can chose to support independent and alternative views. We just need to realize where all these birrare press releases are coming from so we can see through the propaganda and form our own opinions. Voters are supposed to direct governments. Governments are not suposed to brainwash voters. We are still free to choose what to read, how to think and what to support. Peace.

Up next: A synopsis of Noam Chomsky's Requiem for the American Dream.

Hillary Clinton and Operation Fast and Furious

The New York Times is reporting that Obama has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton and asked Bernie Sanders to step down. This comes as no surprise because the Obama deception was tied to the Bush Clinton Fraud. The crown event that ties it all together is Operation Fast and Furious. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that Former US Attorney General Eric Holder is endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Do we remember who the former AG is? He was the freaking scapegoat for the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. If Eric Holder is endorsing anyone that is a huge concern. Now those two criminals have the audacity to declare we have just too many guns. Go figure. You were the ones selling guns to the Mexican cartel for God's sake.

Back in 2011 Infowars reported that "Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it." Big freaking surprise. Hilary's law firm and her husband Bill were up to their eyeballs in the same scam back in Mena Arkansas. Indeed Eric Holder has worked with her for over 25 years.



Operation Fast and Furious was the biggest scandal of our era. It was way worse than Watergate. It didn't even make the news in Canada. The only reason it made the news in the US was because an American border agent was killed with one of the guns the ATF sold them. The fact that they brought tons of cocaine into the United States as payment was barely mentioned.

The ATF were selling guns to the Mexican cartel and bringing back tons of cocaine into the United States as payment. It not only validated the Gary Webb story, it proved Iran contra never stopped. It was a CIA operation that went right up to the highest levels of government. Obama used executive privilege to hide criminal activity. That is not the purpose of executive privilege. When Nixon tried to hide Watergate under executive privilege the courts said no.

Eric Holder was the AG that took the fall for Operation Fast and Furious. Now he's back just like Oliver North campaigning for Hillary Clinton. How soon we forget.

Ron Paul likes Bernie Sanders

How and where to vote for Bernie Sanders

It would appear that Hilary has won the Democratic nomination. God help us. Evil has swept over the face of the earth. I'm all for a woman becoming president. Just not that woman.

The New York Times reported that the Clinton foundation helped the transfer of half of U.S. Uranium output to the Russian government in 2010 and was paid $145 milion for so doing. They used a Canadian company to do it.

That "Children's Defence Fund" was a front for money laundering. It was a CIA slush fund.

Edmonton fentanyl bust

Alberta's gang task force strikes again. The Edmonton Journal is reporting that "Three Edmonton men have been charged following the seizure of 2,000 fentanyl pills at a southwest-area condominium, the largest bust of the lethal painkiller by the Edmonton members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams." Christopher Jervis, 28, James Jervis-Hilker, 35, and Billy Roche, 28, have all been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. The fentanyl is thought to have come from BC.

Shooting in Burnaby leaves one man dead

CKNW is reporting that "One person is dead after a shooting around the 3900 block of Forest Street in Burnaby last night, near Burnaby General Hospital. RCMP Watch Commander Bill Iggulden confirmed the victim is known to police." The Vancouver Province ran an article by Kim Bolan claiming the name of the victim is Christopher Alexander Hurtado who had gang links and slit a stranger’s throat during the 2010 Olympics.

Scan BC reported that #Nanaimo #RCMP were on scene with a shooting at the Dairy Queen, 3190 Island Hwy. Victim transported in critical condition.

Gas shortage in the Interior of BC

This is a story that was easy to miss in metro Vancouver. News 1130 reported that "You’re going to want to fill your gas tank before heading to the interior or anywhere east of the Lower Mainland. A fuel shortage caused by damage in Alberta’s wildfires is hitting more gas stations in BC. Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon and now Merritt are either seeing pumps turned off or long waits at those stations that are still running. Dan Mcteague with Gasbuddy.com says the Vancouver area likely won’t be affected as fuel here is sourced from elsewhere."

I was speaking with a guy in Surrey who said he recently came back from a trip to Vernon and the gas stations there ran out of gas. It was partly because of the Fort McMurray fires and partly because of a problem at Suncor Energy’s Edmonton refinery.

I know deep down we all want to be tree hugging vegans but sometimes we need to remember life in the real world isn't always that simple. A few years ago I was handing out fliers outside the Art Gallery in Vancouver. A couple of young transient anarchists started to heckle me. One of the guys shouted out How many trees did it take to make your fliers? Without hesitation I shouted back How many trees did it take the last time you went to the bathroom? The guy just looked stunned and turned to his girlfriend as if to say what the hell is that guy on about? She just looked at him and said toilet paper. It takes trees to make toilet paper. Now he was really stunned and didn't know what to say. I guess in reality we do have to cut down some trees after all.

The same with the oil industry. We can legitimately argue who killed the electric car but in the real world we still need oil. We can't all ride bicycles to work all year round and wipe our asses with leaves. That's just not reality based. Yes tar sands are dirty but sometimes life isn't as simple as one would hope.

I made a post about how natural gas is clean burning while burning coal is not. That is a very true statement. Some people expressed concerns about fracking which is understandable. However, some people will protest anything no matter what we do. The best thing for China would be to help them build some hydroelectric dams. Not only has hydroelectric power served Vancouver well but it is also very cost efficient. Yet some people will even protest that which once again means no matter what we do some people will protest. That's why we have to use good judgement and make up our own minds for ourselves.

Couple charged with lacing pills with fentanyl in West Kelowna warehouse

Kelowna Infotel News is reporting that "Two West Kelowna residents have been charged in connection with the RCMP raid of a warehouse in West Kelowna where a large number of fentanyl-laced pills were produced. Leslie John McCulloch, 38, and Rebekka Rae White, 27, have been charged with production and possession of a controlled substance."

"Fentanyl-laced drugs have become a serious threat in the Thompson-Okanagan recently. Through April 30, fentanyl was detected alone or with other drugs in 56 per cent of overdoses, according to the B.C. Coroner's Service. Only 31 per cent were linked to fentanyl during the same period last year. There were 308 deaths linked to illicit drug overdoses between January and May 2016 — up 75 per cent over the same period last year when there were 176 deaths, according to a media release from the coroners service. One Kelowna father died earlier this year after taking a drug he thought was heroin but a coroner's report says it was pure fentanyl."

So how do Quentin James and the Hells Angels fit into this picture? Please advise.

Sean Doak sentenced to seven years

December 2015 Sean William Doak pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a cross border drug trafficking ring. CBC is reporting that he has now been sentenced to seven years in a US prison and that "The court heard that the MDMA and marijuana were transported from Canada to the United States, while cocaine was picked up in California and taken into Canada." The exact same MO in three similar rings tied directly to the Hells Angels.

In this ring Sean Doak was considered the "Kingpin" of the organization just like Rob Shannon was in the other one directly tied to the Hells Angels. December 2015 Castanet reported that investigators claimed Sean Doak's cross border drug ring was run by Colin Hugh Martin who CBC reported was ordered extradited back in 2014. As we know Colin Martin was a Canadian drug smuggler who reported other operations to the DEA in exchange for being allowed to continue his own operation. Speaking of the Walrus, no word on when Randy Jones and his brother Trevor will be extradited. Lose the Surrey Girls G. They don't make the cut. Eggheads.
