Canada's unethical Global Mining

Canadian mining companies are giving Canada a very bad reputation in Latin America for unethical mining wrecking havoc on the environment. The root of the problem are shady trade agreements that have absolutely nothing to do with free trade.

Barrick gold is on the list of offenders aroung the world not just in Colombia. Thankfully, some recent rulings have caused some Canadian miming companies to halt operations in Colombia.

The Financial Post is reporting that "Canadian miner Gran Colombia Gold has filed a US$700 million lawsuit against Colombia under the Colombian-Canadian free trade agreement after the government ordered the company to cease operations at the El Burro site in Marmato until it has further consulted with local residents. Gran Colombia’s plan to flatten a mountain and create an open pit mine has also met with resistance." No kidding. They want to do the same thing in Clayoquot Sound. They want to blow the top off of Catface mountian and turn it into an open pit mine right in the middle of a protected biosphere.

So the mega corporation steam rolls over civil rights by suing the local governments under these bogus trade agreements for daring to impose laws that protect the environment and thereby inhibit their ability to make a toxic profit.

We've already discussed compensation awards under NAFTA chapter 11 where a company that wanted to import PCP into Canada successfully sued the Canadian government for creating laws that protected the environment and inhibited their ability to make a profit by poluting Canada. That clause was absolutely insane. Instead of removing that clause from successive trade agreements they tightened up the working to give corporations more power over the democratic will of the people. That insane practice needs to come to an end.

Local governments have the inherit right to enact laws that protect the environment. These bogus trade agreements remove that right. Then they lable anyone who disagrees with them as a terrorist and instantly removes their right to due process and kills civil liberty for everyone. This is corporate communism.

Amnesty International is reporting that "Canadian company Ivanhoe Mines Limited and Chinese mining interests have profited from, and in some cases colluded with the Myanmar authorities in serious human rights abuses and illegal activity around the Monywa copper mine complex, which includes the notorious Letpadaung mine, Amnesty International said in a report released today."



Yesterday we went on a sea safari out of Horseshoe Bay along the Sea to Sky highway up to Britannia mines. It was beautiful. Howe Sound is teaming with fish and biodiversity but it wasn't always so. Now Britannia mines is a tourist attraction. When it was in operation it was a big polluter of Howe Sound along with a pulp and paper mill across the water.

Ethical mining and sustainable development are terms we must embrace in the new world order.

Fascists and Anarchists clash over Nanaimo Tent City

Why is this not surprising? Extremists clash over the lawlessness of Nanaimo tent city. Each having their own hidden agenda. I support neither. The Soldiers of Odin are racists that protest immigration despite the fact that they themselves are immigrants. The supporters of Discontent City are Anarchists who don't want homes for the homeless they just want to create pockets of lawlessness like they did on the Surrey strip. The supporters of Discontent City called the Soldiers of Odin Nazis but they failed to mention that they themselves are Anarchists. Fascists and Anarchists clash all the time. Both groups are complete wingnuts.

The Action Against Discontent City is the voice of reason within that conflict. The solution is simple. Call their bluff. Build them modular homes, then get rid of the tents. Affordable housing is a colossal concern but supporting the drug trade by creating pockets of lawlessness is not the solution. Setting aside zoning for rental units is.

Letter from Masanjia now playing

Tonight I saw the movie Letter from Masanjia at the Vancity theatre. It is worth seeing. It's important. It has a sad ending but the story isn't really over yet. It has just begun. The candle has been lite. The truth has been exposed. The question is, what are we going to do about it?

During the war we rightfully opposed Hitler's Holocaust. Sweden was neutral. How can you be neutral over something like that? Yet Sweden let German troops use their railway to invade Norway. That's not neutral. That's culpability. Stalin killed more people than Hitler did. China was even worse. Tragically the Communist murders in China never stopped.

This movie is about a labour camp. The labour camp has been shut down due to bad press but the persecution continues and other secret prisons have opened to take their place. It reminds me of that old Irish folk song The Fields of Athenry. "Nothing matters Mary, when you're free." We take so much for granted. The suffering Sun Yi and his wife went through is heartbreaking yet inspiring. We need to shine a light on this dark evil for the world to see.

It's not just the Falun Gong who are put in prison in China for their religious beliefs, it's Muslims and Christians as well along with a massive crackdown on human rights lawyers. If Christians in China celebrate Christmas in their home, they are arrested for holding a house church. Earlier this year the Express reported that "Christmas was banned in China with officials employed to snuff out festivities as part of a major crackdown on Christianity. Security officials sent out words of warnings to pastors and worshippers, warning them Christmas trees, Santa Claus, festive hats and any other items relating to Christmas were forbidden.'

Release International is reporting that "A crackdown on ‘cults’ in Yunnan province has led to mass arrests of Christians – with many now facing long jail sentences. Six members of a church in the Lincang area have just been handed sentences of up to 13 years – after a court convicted them of being part of a dangerous sect." Sound familiar?

CNN reported that "Thousands of Uyghur Muslims are currently being detained in cramped conditions at so-called political education camps in China's restive far-western region of Xinjiang. Every household, every family had three or four people taken away." CNN also reported that "More than a million Chinese Communist officials are being dispatched to live with local families in the western region of Xinjiang. Government statements and state media reports show that families are required to provide detailed information during the visits on their personal lives and political views. They are also subject to "political education" from the live-in officials."

Radio Free Asia is reporting that "A “high” number of Uyghurs, including youngsters seized by security forces following ethnic unrest in China’s Xinjiang region, may have become victims of forced organ harvesting, according to an independent researcher."

The Star reported that "David Kilgour, a former prosecutor and Canadian secretary of state for the Asia-Pacific, and David Matas, a human rights lawyer, have published evidence they say shows that China performs an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 transplants a year, with organs primarily taken from Falun Gong practitioners, Muslim Uighurs, Tibetan Buddhists and Christians.

The Hong Kong Free Press reported that "China has launched an ongoing attack on the country’s human rights lawyers, arresting at least 23 legal professionals and summoning scores more “for tea” with security services. More than 100 people have been targeted in the nationwide crackdown, according to a list compiled by the China Human Rights Lawyer Concern Group.

After the movie there was a Q&A with the director. A question was asked about brainwashing. The director, who was originally from China admitted that he himself had been brainwashed in China. He said that when he left China someone showed him a video clip of the Tiananmen Square massacre. He said that was CIA propaganda and asked why they would show it to him now that he had left China. Unfortunately the Tiananmen Square massacre was not CIA propaganda. It was very real. Xi Jinping is a murderer who needs to be put on the war criminal list. God Bless Sun Yi. May he Rest in Peace.



2018 Free Tibet and Free Yourself

CIA still citing the Russian hoax

NBC is reporting that "Just hours after the nation's top intelligence officials warned about Moscow's efforts to disrupt a second consecutive American election, Trump said at a campaign rally here Thursday night that his diplomatic efforts with President Vladimir Putin are being hindered by the Russian hoax. The two events created a split screen effect: America's intelligence experts warning voters that Russia is trying to undermine democracy and Trump telling them it's all political chicanery." The root of the problem is twofold. American Intelligence agencies are corrupt and so is the Main Stream Media.

I am no fan of Donald Trump but the credibility of the CIA and the MSM is nonexistent. It was MI6 working in conjunction with the CIA that intentionally lied to the press about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to gain public support for an invasion in Operation Mass Appeal. I've already talked about the CIA's control of the media as well as the Russian hoax.

You know it's bad when Fox News has more credibility than NBC and CNN. Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Rupert Murdoch openly admits media bias during elections. Yet the others are even worse. The illusion of nonbiased reporting has been lost.

Here's my beef: the world is silently watching a Communist genocide in China without a word being said while the MSM obsesses over smoke and mirror distractions that have the sole purpose of implementing Corporate Communism and the complete destruction of civil liberty.

Clay Roueche’s Phoenix Reborn

In addition to a post about Clay Roueche’s Combined Combat System of martial arts, someone has also made a post about a non profit group he has created called Phoenix Reborn. The primary purpose of this non profit is to assist misguided youth, recovering addicts, military veterans, victims of abuse, and positive re-entry for prisoners returning to society.

This is a lot more effective at helping people in the life than a poster that says free hugs.

This is the full text of the write up:

Phoenix Reborn is a non-profit organization that is designed to bring awareness to issues every day people in society are facing, while also providing educational programs to assist, provide, and help these people so they can "reposition" their lives to get back on the right track. Our primary focus is on: misguided youth, recovering addicts, military veterans, victims of abuse, and positive re-entry for prisoners returning to society. We aim to give; misguided youth proper mentorship, drug addicts a road to recovery, veterans the support they require, victims of abuse the confidence they deserve, and former inmates the tools they need to be productive members of society.

Terms such as "betterment" and "indomitable spirit" are the mindsets we use to set people in the right direction. What makes Phoenix Reborn unique is that our faculty consists of a diverse group of people from every walk of life, which include pillars of the community, current inmates, and former inmates who have turned their lives around. We believe that people who have personally experienced, and have indirectly been affected by these types of issues, know the correct measures that need to be taken in order to move things in the right direction. It is our opinion that there are no better teachers than those who have firsthand experience with these issues.

We're committed to sponsoring special events where guest speakers can address tough subjects like this, and shine a light on the need for grass roots community involvement. We believe it's very important for community leaders to focus on helping people in need of direction rebuild their lives. This can be achieved by providing the necessary tools that they need to point them in the right direction, and by teaching participants to refrain from negative thoughts and self destructive behavior.

Our goal is to provide assistance within the community to help implement the steps that need to be taken in order to improve upon these types of situations by improving participants circumstances. We plan to do this by providing participants with positive role models and programs that teach, inspire, and further develop their mindset. Due to the fact that participants will have the opportunity to learn from others and get the support they need, Phoenix Reborn encourages, and motivates, everyone involved to bring forth their best effort to make this platform a success. We will be working directly with; youth guidance counselors, social workers, a vast array of mentorship programs, recovery centers, employment services, educational institutions, spiritual advisors from a multitude of belief systems, physical fitness facilities, martial arts schools, & other establishments to help assist our participants in obtaining everything they require so they can "reposition" themselves to be at their best.

Clay Roueche’s Combined Combat System

Someone has posted an interesting write up about a system of martial arts that Clay Roueche has created called Combined Combat System on a public Facebook account set up to promote his Book of Indomitable Virtues. We all knew that Clay had a black belt in Taekwondo. Yet I had no idea about the extent of his MMA background. In addition to that he has been able to train with some impressive boxers and martial artists in prison after he got out of solitary.

This is what the write up says:

Professor Roueche, the founder & visionary that started the CCS School of Martial Arts, comes from a family line of the military tradition. His grandfather, being awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II, is a strong indication of that. Additionally, his great grandfather was a U.S. Navy Middle Weight Boxing Champion which solidified the Roueche family's love for the sweet science. As a child, the moment Professor Roueche saw his first Bruce Lee movie his martial journey began.

With his respect & admiration for the legendary Bruce Lee came the love for Asian culture, which included the warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple and the warriors of ancient Japan. Because of these influences Professor Roueche had a strong desire to learn more about the philosophies of the orient. This passion led him to read books such as; Sun Tzu's "Art of War", Miyo Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings", Chin Ning Chu's "Thich Face Black Heart", and to study; Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and the samurai's code of the Bushido.

Professor Roueche's first official martial arts training began at 12 years of age by way of Ninjutsu: the head instructor was also a master of White Crane Kung Fu. During this period he trained in Judo as well. He passionately wanted to study Master Bruce Lee's style of Kung Fu but there were no schools available where he lived. He eventually found a home at Baek's Taekwondo Academy where the master was fresh out of the Korean army. Master Baek was a decorated Army middle weight champion, and a graduate of an esteemed martial arts university in Korea.

Professor Roueche spent as much time as possible at his new training hall. He soon earned his poom belt, which is a black belt for kids under the age of 16 years old. At his masters urging he entered the Provincial Men's Feather weight black belt Taekwondo Championships. Master Baek wanted him to enter the contest for experiential purposes. Professor Roueche ended up winning the tournament and becoming the Mens Provincial Champion at just 15 years of age. He went on to win many tournaments and establish himself as a championship competitor.

It was during this time that he started cross training at The Golden Lion Muay Thai Academy under the tutelage of Master Songlith a traditional Thai Ajarn and former Stadium Champion. His Muay Thai training further enhanced his skills while also making him a prominent figure within the Asian community.

To sharpen his boxing he trained with talented boxers hailing from areas like; New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Florida: learning elements from the different styles of each individual state. Professor Roueche's mindset is that there is something to be learned from every style. Among the more notable boxer's he trained with was Ian "SchoolBoy" Garret out of Florida, who was a 3 time US National Golden Glove Champion that turned pro and went on to become the NBA Middle Weight Champion.

With the birth of the UFC and the Gracie Family showing the effectiveness of jiu jitsu, Professor Roueche continued his search to become a more complete martial artist until finally coming across a former Pan American judo Champion and jiu jitsu extraordinaire by the name of Miguel Malgoza, it was this man of virtuoso that helped him establish his ground game. Sensei Malgoza is also a high level Kempo karate black belt under the late Great Master Ed Parker, who coincidentally was a close personal friend of the Legendary Bruce Lee. Sensei Malgoza is the epitome of fortitude and continues to train with some of the best Brazilian jiu jitsu competitors in the world.

Additionally, Professor Roueche had the privilege to train with a weapons specialist by the name of Kevin Marrie from Miami Florida. Mr. Kevin Marrie, started his martial arts training in Shotokan karate prior to departing on a military tour of duty in Vietnam. While serving in Vietnam Sensei Marrie continued to train with other martial artists from both Korean and Chinese styles, which further sharpened his skills. Upon returning to American soil he went on to obtain his black belt in the Seibukan school of Shorin Ryu karate and became a top Florida state karate competitor winning many esteemed tournaments in the 1970's.

While being in the army Sensei Marrie was stationed at different military bases throughout the U.S. and he took full advantage of the training opportunities that presented themselves. It was during that time he embraced Arnis further adding to his arsenal of weapons skills. This training combined with some of his previous training gave him a deeper understanding of soft style arts. Sensei Marrie trained Professor Roueche in the yantok sticks of Arnis, the tanto/saber, long and short bo staff techniques from numerous styles, traditional kenjutsu techniques, and cane techniques taught in some Korean styles. With this training also came weapons disarming techniques, a vast assortment of joint locking techniques, and flow drills to improve defensive capabilities against both unarmed and armed attackers.

Professor Roueche's close friends have known him by many names which include "Thunderfoot" because of his fast explosive kicks and "High Voltage" because of his movements on the mat while training in jiu jitsu. His life philosophy is based on the Japanese term "Kaizen" which means betterment. The Legendary Bruce Lee once said, "absorb everything that is useful", and that's something that has never left Professor Roueche's mind. His attitude is that there is always something to be learned, so one must never believe their cup to be full. No one knows everything, therefore he encourages students to be humble and keep an open mind.

The CCS School of Martial Arts is based on the Big Brother system where teachers and mentors from all aspects of the martial arts get together for the benefit of the students so pupils can continuously improve their skill set. Professor Roueche is all about having a strong family unit, and his training hall is designed to embrace that spirit by helping everyone be the best they can be.

The goal of Professor Roueche is to have his students through quality martial art training improve their lives by embracing a valued code of ethics. Combined Combat Systems is a constant never ending evolution to constantly refine and sharpen martial skills until the students fully grasp the ultimate realization of combat.

US Magistrate Judge Reappointments

Ever since that huge court case I had with Telus in San Francisco, I've been registered to e-file court documents in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Consequently I just received an email requesting public feedback about the reappointment of two US judges for another 8 year term. We don't have that in Canada.

"The current terms of office for the following United States Magistrate Judges in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California are due to expire: U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline S. Corley on May 17, 2019; and U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins on July 4, 2019. The United States District Court is required by law to establish a panel of citizens to consider the reappointment of a magistrate judge to a new 8-year term."

"Comments from members of the bar and the public are invited as to whether these incumbent magistrate judges should be recommended by the panel for reappointment by the court. Separate comments for each magistrate judge should be submitted in writing no later than August 31, 2018." That is what the notice declares.

Can you imagine how helpful that would be in Canada? Can you imagine how helpful that would have been in dealing with complete lunatics like Peter Leask? The public would be allowed to make recommendations saying don't reappoint him, the guy is an idiot. Look at what he has done. Whistle blowers could report corruption and the court would actually have the authority to do something about it. What a wonderful world that would be.

Right now the current system in Canada is not working. Something needs to be done about it.

Calgary man accused of killing girlfriend, then mother and stepfather 6 days later

CBC is reporting that "A day after Calgary police found three people slain in two different locations, the force says the killings occurred almost a week apart. Dustin Duthie, 25, has been charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Taylor Toller, Shawn Boshuck and Alan Pennylegion. CBC News has confirmed that the dead are the accused's girlfriend, his mother and stepfather. A duty counsel lawyer representing Duthie appeared before a justice of the peace Wednesday morning in Calgary." That is psychotic and premeditated.

So I guess those wingnut Anarchists think this is OK right? After all, no laws mean no laws. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" right? Not on my watch ya freaking lunatics.
