2020 Theme: Taking responsibility for our own choices

Since it's relevant I'm going to set the stage for the blog's 2020 theme early: Taking responsibility for our own choices. In our toxic world, a lot of people look for ways to blame others for the choices they make. Without question the choices we make affect others yet we are all responsible for what we do. Personal accountability is a fundamental principle in life.



In the movie Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom, it talks about a quest for "a new world. A better world than has ever been seen. There you are not what you are born but what you have it in yourself to be. A kingdom of conscience... That is what lies at the end of a crusade."

In the new Terminator Dark Fate movie the rising star says "F*ck Fate." Meaning we can change the future by the choices we make. That is the theme of the new resistance.

Surrey Shooting

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "One person has been taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, following a shooting in the 13200 block of 104 Avenue in Surrey. RCMP were called to the scene shortly before noon Sunday, in response to a report of shots fired. A male victim was located at the scene, suffering from apparent gun shot injuries, and was taken to hospital." Sounds drug related.

Remembrance Day Reflections

Remembrance Day is observed on November 11th in Canada to recall the end of the hostilities of the First World War in 1918. Hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Flanders Fields is a popular poem that reminds us of that struggle. Yet times have changed. We've gone from Flanders fields in France to Opium fields in Afghanistan. It reminds us of how Hitler used false flag attacks to con the German people. This is now happening to us.

In the United States every public official including police and military swear an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Every US citizen pledges allegiance to the flag and the Free Republic it represents. Yet the Constitution hangs by a thread. It was framed to protect all people not just US citizens. The biggest threat to the Constitution is not by a foreign enemy but an attack from within. Defend Civil Liberty. That is your oath.

30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker



I will note that times have changed. The chivalry of the First and Second World War has been lost. We have become war mongers for oil and opium. The nobility has disappeared. The unlawful invasion of Iraq was based on a lie. The desecration of Muammar Gaddafi was a dirty deal. The opium in Afghanistan is our fault. What the CIA did secretly in Vietnam they are doing openly in Afghanistan. Lest we forget those injustices have stained all of us. We need to face that fact.



Canada used to have Peace Keepers. That was noble. Invading countries for their oil and opium is not. Stephen Harper killed that tradition and Justin Trudeau failed to bring it back. Canada should have sent peace keepers to Myanmar. Burma has a long history of drug trafficking and the CIA. They are the second largest opium producers next to Afghanistan and they are huge crystal meth manufacturers. This is all tied to the CIA.

South Africa beat England in Rugby World Cup Final

I didn't realize South Africa beat England in the Rugby World Cup. I assumed England won. Last time I checked they were ahead. New Zealand beat Wales for third. So New Zealand beat South Africa, England beat New Zealand and South Africa beat England. Rock, paper scissors.

30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, but Communism didn’t. One hundred years after the Bolshevik Revolution, one fifth of the world’s population still lives under single-party communist regimes in China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.

Remembering the night the Berlin Wall went up - and when it came down

The Berlin Wall and barbed wire was erected to keep people trapped in East Berlin under the yoke of Communism. The machine guns killed people who tried to escape. That is what Communism is. As we speak, Communist China is executing political prisoners for organ harvesting. Lest we forget. Communism is no better than Fascism. It is the same thing.



The Rockefellers and Wall Street funded the Communist Revolution in Russia. Communism is funded by big banks and oil companies. That is Corporate Communism. Buyer Beware.

Thrilla at the Villa 2: Pro Boxing in BC

BC just had it's second professional boxing card at the Villa Casino in Burnaby right beside the Trans Canada freeway. It was a huge success. I must say these Mexican boxers are sure raising the bar for BC boxing. What a welcome addition to the industry. It was hosted by Alliance Boxing Promotions which consists of Daniel Norman and Ray Savard from Savard Boxing Club in Surrey.

The main event was eight rounds with Jose de Jesus “El Changuito” Macias and Isaac “Kin Ban” Mireles both from Mexico. Kin Ban was flawless and El Changuito was tough as nails. Kin Ban kept rocking El Changuito with solid body shots and head shots but El Changuito did not flinch and kept coming back over and over again. He is very tough.

Former Super Middleweight Champion JY Kim from Surrey took on Salvador Zavala from Mexico. Jy Kim was very strong and very competent but Salvador Zavala was flawless. It's impressive to see the technical precision of Mexicano boxing. Kin Ban had a big name in his corner.

Buneet Bisla is a Surrey Kickboxer from Bisla Martial Arts gone pro boxing. Like Josh Jauncey at WKX, the Bislas are a local father and son combination. Buneet was very smooth, very competent and very consistent. We'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future. Surrey pride yo.



Update: I guess I had it backwards. Jose de Jesus Macias won the decision over Isaac Mireles. I'm a bit confused about that. At the end of the fight the announcer said blue won the fight but they raised red's hand. I guess the winner raised the losers hand because he fought so well. From what I saw red was flawless and blue was tough as nails. That's what I saw.

Mobster shot dead in Toronto

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "A man the Sun has learned was an underworld enforcer is the latest victim of the bitter southern Ontario gangland war purging bad blood that goes back decades. Antonio “Scratch” Fiorda, 50, was gunned down in a brazen lunchtime hit near Sherway Gardens on Monday. Toronto Police officers responding to a shooting call at 1750 The Queensway found Fiorda in a parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds. He died in hospital. Sources tell the Toronto Sun that the Maple man was well-known to police. 'Tony was well-known in TOC (Traditional Organized Crime) as Scratch,' the source said. 'He is/was an enforcer for Joe Violi and linked directly to the Calabrian Commisso family.'”

Vancouver fentanyl dealer gets nine years in jail

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "A man who was convicted of possessing fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking and possessing a loaded firearm has been sentenced to nine years in prison. In June, Warren Brett Oswald, 37, pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver to the drug and firearm offences after an unsuccessful attempt to get the evidence excluded."

He was caught with 1.4 kilograms of meth, 535 grams of cocaine, 428 g of fentanyl and $28,000 as well as a .40 cal handgun. He had a lifetime firearm ban. Oswald has 69 convictions since 1998, including five drug-related convictions and 11 violence-related convictions.

In 2013 the Brandon Sun reported that "A longtime criminal and drug courier who got caught in a car with cocaine vows to stay out of trouble from now on. Warren Brett Oswald said he plans to pursue his education while in prison and to get a job when he gets out. 'I’m going to get out of this criminal lifestyle,' Oswald told Justice John Menzies in Brandon Court of Queen’s Bench." Not. Mandatory treatment should be part of his sentence. That's the Portugal model.

Vancouver expropriates two derelict hotels on the Downtown Eastside for $1 each

The Canadian Press is reporting that "City council has voted to seize control of two derelict hotels in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside after a lawyer for the property owners warned the municipality it is exposing itself to the risk of litigation by expropriating them for $1 each. Mayor Kennedy Stewart described council's unanimous decision on Wednesday to take over the Balmoral and Regent hotels as a historic vote. The expropriation 'is a clear message that we are not afraid to use every tool at our disposal to create new affordable homes,' he said in a statement."

Every tool at our disposal, including theft. Interesting. The Balmoral is a toilet. So is the Regent. I'm all for turning them into social housing. However, stealing them presents a double standard. Obviously the buildings themselves are worthless and have to be destroyed but the property has a huge value. Compare this with how the City bought the Drake hotel from the Hells Angels and paid them $2 million more than it was worth. Organized crime exploiting the disadvantaged.

Calgary-based Houston Oil & Gas ceases operations, leaving almost 1,300 wells needing cleanup

CBC is reporting that "Another Alberta oil and gas company has closed its doors, leaving more than $80 million in estimated costs to cleanup its remaining wells, pipelines and facilities. Calgary-based Houston Oil & Gas told the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) last month that it was ceasing operations and no longer has any employees, according to court documents. Houston entered receivership last week. The company is focused primarily in southeast Alberta and predominantly produces natural gas, according to its web site."

This is a reoccurring problem. Oil companies abandon a well and expect the tax payer to pay for clean up. Old, unproductive oil and gas wells could cost up to $70B to clean up
