Trump signs Human Rights and Democracy Act into law

CNN is reporting that "Protesters in Hong Kong will hold a celebratory, pro-US rally Thursday after President Donald Trump gave them what one prominent activist termed a "timely Thanksgiving present." Trump signed an act in support of the protest movement despite a potential backlash from Beijing that could derail delicate US-China trade talks, after it was passed almost unanimously by both houses of Congress."

Finally someone out here with some balls. Executing political prisoners for their organs is evil and so is anyone who supports that. Canada should support human rights in Hong Kong. That is a hell of a lot more important than banning straws or plastic bags.

International student identified as Surrey murder victim

Tragically the Peace Arch News is reporting that the murder victim in the implied murder Suicide last Friday is 21-year-old Prabhleen Kaur Matharu. She had come to Canada for studies in 2016 and was supposed to return home to Jalandhar in January next year.

Similar to the Maple Batalia case. If she doesn't want to be with you get over it.

Deontay Wilder knocks out Luis Ortiz

MMA Mania is reporting that "Deontay Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KO) successfully defended his WBC heavyweight title last night (Sat., Nov. 23, 2019) live on FOX PPV from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as he finished perennial contender Luis Ortiz (31-2, 26 KO) with a vicious knockout punch in the seventh round."



It will be nice to see the rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in February. After that perhaps an Andy Ruiz Deontay Wilder showdown will be in the cards. Then Anthony Joshua can take on Tyson Fury for the bronze perhaps. It would also be nice to see a match up between Tyson Fury and Andy Ruiz. Maybe it will be a rock paper scissors like the World cup rugby.

Hong Kong supporters rally at Metrotown

There were some Hong Kong supporters rallying at Metrotown today. Members of the Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement were there and have an informative website covering past and future events. The literature they were handing out states This is not an independence movement. Hong Kong is defending its basic law. They are defending Hong Kong's Constitution which was created by the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

"The Sino–British Joint Declaration is an international treaty signed between the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 19 December 1984 in Beijing. The Declaration stipulates the sovereign and administrative arrangement of then-British Hong Kong after 1 July 1997, when the lease of the New Territories was set to expire according to the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory."

The BBC is reporting that "When Hong Kong was handed back to China on 1 July 1997, following more than 150 years of British control, the 'one country, two systems' principle was established as the foundation of the relationship. While Hong Kong is part of China, the policy has given the Special Administrative Region (SAR) a high degree of autonomy."



Hong Kong is concerned with the extradition of political prisoners from Hong Kong to mainland China for obvious reasons. The Communist Party of China is executing political prisoners for organ harvesting. Only they don't call them political prisoners. They make up false charges against them and say these are criminals when in reality they are simply political prisoners.

Dr Zheng Shuen is a murderer from mainland China. This doctor of death kills people so the Communist Party can make money from selling their organs. It is big business and it has nothing to do with criminal justice and everything to do with the execution of political prisoners and the complete destruction of civil liberty. This isn't just a movie. This is real life.

Hong Kong's concerns are valid. We need to support them.

B.C. jail guard accused of sexually abusing 200 inmates

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "MacDougall, a long-time government employee, is described as one of Canada’s most prolific sexual offenders, with more than 200 former inmates who have already come forward in a lawsuit filed last month on behalf of 61 men with outstanding civil claims." CBC reported on the law suit in October.

“The telling of (MacDougall’s story) is long overdue,” said Megan Ellis, a Vancouver lawyer who has represented survivors of sexual abuse for more than 25 years, including at least 10 of MacDougall’s alleged victims. “It is a shameful blot on the history of this province and the responsibility of the provincial government.” Indeed, this story needs to be told.

Driver shot, Lamborghini stolen in Toronto carjacking

City News is reporting that "York Regional Police are investigating after a male was shot during a carjacking incident Friday night. The call came in at around 8:30 p.m. for a report of a shooting in the Major Mackenzie Drive and Woodbine Avenue area, police said. Police said the male driver of the vehicle was approached by three suspects and was shot in the leg. The suspects then took off in a red Lamborghini that has the licence plate number 8EIGHT8. The shooting victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is being treated in the hospital. Investigators said that if you see this vehicle, do not approach it or the suspects. Instead, call the police right away."

Surrey Shooting

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Surrey RCMP say a man was injured in a targeted shooting Thursday night. It happened around 9 p.m. on Nov. 21 near 146th Street and 83rd Avenue, not far from Enver Creek Secondary. Police responded to the scene after gunfire was reported. Officers arrived to find a vehicle that had crashed into a fence and a man inside with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital but is expected to survive."

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Police say two people have been found dead in a house in Whalley, and one of them is believed to be a homicide victim." That would imply a murder suicide. Not related to the shooting at Enver Creek.

Global is reporting that "Homicide investigators have identified the owner of a vehicle found burning in an Abbotsford field with a body inside last weekend. However, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says it's still not clear if Sukhdev Dhaliwal is the victim of what appears to be a suspicious murder."

CTV is clarifying that Sukhdev Dhaliwal was the last person to rent the vehicle.

Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver names 9 clergymen in sex abuse scandal

CBC is reporting that "The Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver has named nine clergymen who have criminal convictions or lawsuits settled against them related to cases of sexual abuse dating back to the 1950s. In a report published Friday morning, the diocese revealed the results of a months-long investigation into cases of sexual abuse by its clergy, but says it can't name all the accused because of privacy laws." City News posted a picture of those named.

"For those occasions when we failed to protect you or when we were more concerned with the Church's reputation than with your suffering, I am truly sorry and ask for your forgiveness as I strive to make amends and bind your wounds." Wow.

"CBC's The Fifth Estate has reported that this is the first of Canada's 60 Latin Rite archdioceses and dioceses to make information about convicted priests public. Clergy who were criminally convicted: Paul J. Blancard, George Gordon, John McCann, OMI Harold McIntee, OMI Alfred Frank Louis Sasso, Clergy with lawsuits settled: Lawrence Edward (Damian) Cooper, Antero Sarmiento. Clergy named in other public cases: Edwin Budiman, John Eason. Some of the charges against the men date back to the 1950s and involve child victims as young as six or seven."

"McIntee, who worked in parishes in Ucluelet and Tofino, in the Diocese of Victoria, was charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse in 1989. He served two years in jail for abusing 17 boys in British Columbia over 25 years. Many of his victims were boys in residential schools in Kamloops, Prince George, and Victoria."

"McCann was convicted in 1991 of six counts of sex abuse of girls under 16 in the 1970s when he was serving at St. Augustine's Parish and St. Peter's in New Westminster. After serving 10 months in jail, he served as a priest in the Diocese of Victoria and the Archdiocese of Ottawa."

Jeffrey Epstein and the Royal House

Jeffrey Epstein is in the news again even though he's dead. CNN is reporting that "Two Bureau of Prisons guards were charged by a federal grand jury Tuesday with conspiracy and filing false records in connection with their actions the night Jeffrey Epstein died in prison." That is ridiculous. Another circus side show. He did not commit suicide and the guards did not fall asleep.

Whitney Webb mentioned that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the Intelligence community and was running blackmail ops for them. That falls within the realm of believability. Epstein was collecting dirty on prominent people so the CIA could extort them.

Jeffrey Epstein was indeed a sleazebag but he had no remorse. He had a fetish for young girls. He was seen with them all the time. The repeated allegation is 17 year old girls being paid to be prostitutes for rich men. Like Harvey Wallbanger who used his position to con women into providing sexual favors in exchange for the hope of a role in a movie.

No doubt in both scenarios many women were exploited. Yet many slept with Harvey Weinstein willingly to advance their careers. After all, that is what the Hollywood sleaze is all about.

It's like the Stormy Daniels facade. Stormy Daniels is a cheap whore. Not because she was a porn star but because she knowingly slept with a married man when she was an adult and tried to get rich after extorting him. That was cheap. Under age exploitation is completely different.

In the Jeffrey Epstein case all the accusers say they were young and vulnerable and he misled them. Very true but I'm not sure what percentage of the cases were consensual. It's not my place to decide. That whole world is something I have nothing to do with. It's like all the patch pounders lurking with the HAs. Most of it is consensual because the patch pounders are delusional. They think that patch is something magical. The New York City girls are more educated and have more self respect. That's why I encourage people to travel.

Epstein's clients included "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well‐known Prime Minister, and other world leaders."

Prince Andrew was just one of many. We remember Prince Andrew for being married to Fergie. Fergie may well have been a bit of a a wild child but we liked her because she was Irish. Having a member of the royal family marry an Irish girl was welcoming.



Some people get a little obsessed with these pedophile rings. They claim that having sex with 17 year old girls is nothing. We're talking about them having sex with babies. Really? I find that hard to believe. I totally believe Bill Clinton liked to party and was a skank but I do not believe he was having sex with babies. Nor do I believe the royal family is a reptile race. That is ridiculous.

On a more somber note, Prince Charles is reporting that while Andy is withdrawing from official royal duties, he will be foregoing his 250,000.00 pound sterling salary from tax dollars. Wow. Why was that guy getting that much money as an annual salary for doing nothing? How much do MPs make? The royal family owns a lot of land. There is no reason they can't make money from that through wealth management and be less of a burden on taxpayers. That's reminiscent of King John who over taxed the people in the days of Robin Hood while his brother Richard was off fighting crusades. Robin Hood supported Richard the Lionheart.

In Defense of the Royal Family

Randy Andy is in the news again. Now it appears that Prince Andrew is stepping down or at least stepping back from royal duties. Some media outlets refer to it as a royal resignation if there is such a thing. I will comment on the Jeffrey Epstein saga in a separate post but before I do I want to set the record straight. Prince Andrew may well be the black sheep of the family but he isn't a bad guy. He's a bit of a flake and thank God nothing like his older brother Charles. I guess it was kind of hard growing up in the heir's shadow. I'm not sure why. Prince Harry is rock solid.



William and Harry have dignity and class as do their lovely wives. Someone recently sent me a link to a YouTube video trashing the royal family and it was so toxic I couldn't watch it. It's really not healthy to dwell on that kind of hate. The video trashed on Meghan Markle for being American. Really? You're going to hate on her for that? Meghan Markle is a huge step forward for the royal family just like Princess Diana was. Meghan Markle is a wonderful person as is Kate Middleton. Kate Middleton carries the class, competence and compassion of Diana. Kate and Megan are the wives of Princess Diana's sons. Have a little respect.

I'm not a big fan of monarchies. I'm a fan of democracy. History has shown us that the difference between a good leader and a bad one can be colossal. This royal family is the epitome of good. Charles carries the dignity of the royal family nobly. He married Dianna because he was told to. Most older men covet the young bride thing. Charles didn't. After Dianna passed away he married his true love, Camilla. Charles wanted to be with someone his own age. That exemplifies his self respect. Dianna's legacy is forever entrenched in her children but Charles is a man like unto Robert the Bruce. Remember him? Charles is a descendant of the Bruce.

In the movie Braveheart, Longshank was a bad king who did horrible things. William Wallace supported the Bruce. The Bruce was good as was Richard the Lionheart. God knows all of us have had good leaders and bad leaders in the past. We need to support good leaders.

We are told that there will be a monarchy in the Kingdom of Heaven. We are told that Jesus is the king of kings and will one day sit on a throne. Will we support him or will we trash him? Given his zeal, we can fully support him. Having said that, Israel at one time was ruled by kings. David and Solomon are the most famous but there was a long succession of kings in Israel before they were replaced with judges. Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel most of the Jews descend from. It has been said that the sceptre shall not depart from Judah. King David was of the house of Judah as was Jesus Christ who was also a descendant of David. Jesus is the lion of the root of David.

Although the Queen of England is of Scottish ancestry, legend has it that she too is of the house of David. After King Zedekiah's sons were killed, the prophet Jeremiah took two of Zedekiah's daughters to Egypt during the Babylonian captivity. That is recorded in scripture. From there, legends claim that Jeremiah left Egypt with Zedekiah's daughters on the ships of Tarshish and sailed to Spain where one of the daughters married into Spanish royalty.

The other daughter came with Jeremiah to Ireland along with the stone of scone where the other daughter, Tara Tephi, married Irish royalty who the Scottish kings and the current royal house descend from through Fergus Mór Mac Earca. In fact, before that, legend claims Pharez's twin brother Zara Judah was the father of British royalty who the daughter of Zedekiah married into.

Some believe that when Christ returns he will sit on the British throne. I personally think that's a bit much to expect but I do believe that the current royal family descend from the house of Judah and are of the house of David in fulfillment of the prophecy God made through Moses.

God save the Queen yo. Lest we forget the Queen of Hearts.
