Different countries have different traditions that revolve around Easter. For my kids it was the Easter bunny brining chocolate eggs on Saturday and church on Sunday remembering the crucifixion and resurrection. Easter bonnets used to be a tradition in the West. Many countries in Cental America and Europe have a week of celebrations called Semana Santa. Rick Steves covered some of these traditions he witnessed in Spain.
When I was young, I visited Notre Dame in Montreal and was in awe of the architecture. A protestant lit a candle for a deceased relative and showed me the stations of the cross. I saw that as a positive tradition which helped people remember Him. I also visited St Pauls' cathedral in London which was also stunning as is Westminster Abbey.
Statues, like paintings, help us remember deity. We had a Christian family stay in our home once and the little boy pointed to a picture of Christ and said who's that? I was a bit confused as the family were clearly Christian so I said Hey Zeus which is Spanish for Jesus. Nothing more was said. Later I found out that they were of the school of thought that Christians shouldn't have pictures of Christ in their home. That in my opinion is bizarre and makes no sense whatsoever.
In the United Church they had a special service on Maundy Thursday where people would wash each other's feet in remembrance of Christ's commitment to service. Lent is a 40 day preparation before Easter where people remember the suffering and sacrifices of Christ.
With a continuation of the Covid fraud, some Easter celebrations are virtual. It reminds me of a story I once heard about a group of Christians who were kicked out of church because of their poverty. The church had become corrupt and carried away with their pride. An angel appeared to the group who were very sad about their state and said it is good that you were kicked out of church because being religious is a way of life. It isn't just going to church on Sunday.
Today I want to have a virtual Easter and talk about the Last Supper which DaVinci painted. The final meal Christ shared with his apostles before he was murdered where he introduced the Communion. He said he would be betrayed by one of his own and said to Peter, when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. The communion remains a central part of Christian worship.
"This is my body broken for you. This is my blood shed for your sins." Many people including thieves and criminals have been crucified. Christ's sacrifice went beyond that. His atonement started in the Garden of Gethsemane where he sweat great drops of blood as his eyes were opened and he saw, felt and experienced, all the suffering, sins and sicknesses of his people.
That suffering returned on the final three hours while Christ hung on the cross to fulfill Isaiah 's prophecy which said "I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." Christ has seen and felt our suffering. He has compassion for us.
The movie the DaVinci code presented an interesting theory as to what the holy grail really was. I'll have to admit that Monty Python's dry humour about the quest for the holy grail kind of shed light on the moral dilemma. The cup that Christ used in the Last Supper was just a cup. It wasn't magical, the atonement was magical. To spend your whole life searching for an object was as misguided as to mistake a finger for the moon instead of seeing what it was pointing to.
The chalice represents the suffering of Christ - the blood he shed for our sins. That is what we need to remember. Not a cup. Whether or not Christ was married as the movie the DaVinci code implies, does not change his divinity. It does not diminish his sacrifice and atonement. It's an interesting theory but it doesn't really matter. What matters is how we live our life. That is what matters. Finian's Inferno - I see you. What we do in life echoes in eternity.
The purpose of this post is to highlight the Last Supper. The final meal that Christ shared with his apostles before he was murdered which Davinci painted not the painting itself. The Movie the DaVinci code claims that there are no cups in the painting. Oh really? Zoom in. I see 12 glasses in the painting. Whether or not they shared from one cup or each had their own glass doesn't matter. What matters is what the communion represents. It is a remembrance of Christ's suffering and sacrifice but it is also a new covenant. A promise to remember him and follow him.
As the actress pointed out, just because DaVinci painted it doesn't make it true. He wasn't there. He painted it more than 1400 years after the event based on the same information we have. In fact, most of the early paintings of Christ I personally find anti climatic. They tend to portray Christ as weak and feminine when he was anything but. Greg Olsen is a popular modern artist that portrays Christ in a more realistic perspective as does Jon McNaughton and Del Parson.
Back in Ireland they had lots of pictures of the scared heart. They'd have a portrait of Jesus or Mary with a large red heart jumping out at you. At first I thought it was a bit weird, then I realized it was allegorical. There is no question Jesus had a big heart just like William Wallace in the movie Braveheart or the reference to Richard the lion heart.
I knew a young American who went to Dublin and liked a young Catholic girl there. He met her mother and they gave him a tour of a Catholic cathedral. The mother pointed to a picture of the sacred heart and she said, that's the sacred heart. Do you believe in the sacred heart of Jesus? My friend was a bit antagonistic and said yeah, we believe in his heart, his hand, his legs. We believe in all of him. Then the daughter said OK it's time to go and separated them before they got in a big fight. I laughed when I heard that. I could easily visualize all of them doing that.
I never got into the moving statues or the bleeding paintings myself. I'd ask why would God do that? Why would God make a painting bleed? What's something positive and uplifting we can take away from that? I couldn't see anything. To me it just seemed dark and weird. Yet I did see something positive in the sacred heart paintings. It's allegorical. It reminded me of a Rocky song about hearts on fire. I believe in the freedom of religion. That is what I believe in.
It's like when I saw one of my neighbours sitting on a rock wearing a hijab holding a rosery. I was shocked, pointed to the rosery and said what's that? She couldn't speak English so she showed me that she would say a prayer for each bead. I was like yeah, I know with what you do with that but why do you have one? She was Muslim. Turns out that Muslims have their own rosery. It's very similar and I was like imagine that. People are more similar than they realize.
God is not a respecter of persons. Any nation that honours him and is righteous is accepted of him. The parable of the good Samaritan says it all. What we do is more important than what we say or what we profess. Christ taught us to serve each other. That is what he taught.

Cherry Blossoms begin to bloom in Vancouver
The Cherry Blossoms are beginning to bloom in Vancouver. That's always a good sign. There appears to be two strands locally. One that blooms a few weeks before the others. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Like fall, it brings with it the promise of growth and hope.
It's a fresh scent that fills the air with the expectation of summer. A huge snow cap on the mountain means you can snowshoe in the melting snow or paddle in the coastal waters all in the same day. I love the seasons. In the song Landslide, Stevie Nicks asks "Can I handle the seasons of my life? I don't know. Time makes you bolder, children get older. I'm getting older too."
Back in the kwoon, they would burn cherry blossom incense all year round. Remember behind the dark clouds, the sun is still shining. The dream never dies, just the dreamer so Dream On.

Genocide and Lawlessness: The Gates of Hell
Tulsi Gabbard recently made a post about religious persecution in Bangladesh where Hindus are being raped and murdered. That is not acceptable. Religious persecution is illegal. So is rape and murder. The problem isn't religion. The problem is lawlessness.
Apparently in Bangladesh, the genocide is being committed by Islamic extremists who she refers to as Islamicists. Islam teaches that rape, murder and robbery is wrong just like every other religion so the problem here isn't Islam, it's lawlessness.
So here we see the rock, paper, scissors of genocide. In India the Hindus have been accused of committing genocide against the Sikhs. In Burma we see Buddhists slaughtering Muslims. Buddhists for f*cks sake. Buddhists are the most peaceful people on the planet. The Dalai Lama doesn't not support that. The problem isn't religion. The problem is lawlessness.
In Rwanda it was one tribe of black people exterminating another tribe of black people. In Northern Ireland is was two groups of Christians fighting with each other, both were white. This kind of insanity is addressed within a free republic where civl liberty is protected by law. The flag for the Irish Republic is green, orange and white. Green represents Catholics, orange represents Protestants and white represents peace between the two.
Communism has murdered more people than everyone else put together. Chairman Mao murdered more people than Adolf Hittler. Communism is a single party totalitarian system which is the direct opposite of a free Republic. Religion isn't the only enemy of Communism, everyone is. Everyone who disagrees with them. That system is built upon lies and censorship involving the gradual removal of all civil liberty. Slavery is the result. That is their end game.
I believe in law and order. I sustain just laws. I do not sustain corrupt governements who break the law. Judaism has a lot of laws. Ben Shapero talked about the Seven Laws of Noah which applies to the Gentiles. Like the 10 commandments, they are basic common sense. Let's start with the top three laws in a civilized society: murder, robbery and rape.
Satanism states Do what thou whilt shall be the whole of the law. That makes no sense whatsoever. If I can rob from you, you can rob from me and nothing is secure. If I can murder and rape you, you can murder and rape me or my family and anarchy is the result which is not a good thing. A lawless society is not a nice place to live. No one is safe there.
It's like the line in the ACDC song if you're evil, you're a friend of mine. That makes no sense either. Betrayal is evil. If I can betray you, you can betray me and there is no trust and no honour. Murder, rape and torture is evil. If I can do that to you, you can do that to me and we are left with a place no one wants to live in. This is hell. A state of evil darkens where no laws protect anyone.

Hydroxychloroquine & Remdesivir: There's No Third Wave
There was no second wave and there is no third wave. That is a lie. This is a trade war with a dark political agenda. Closing down businesses kills social programs because it destroys tax revenue. There is one thing the medical community agrees on, lockdowns are not warranted.
The American Frontline Doctors held a press conference stating that hydroxychloroquine helped patients with Covid. Numerous doctors testified that they gave Covid patients hydroxychloroquine and their patients recovered. That is what's known as a clinical trial. The mainstream media censored that information. They said hydroxychloroquine was unsafe. That is a lie. It is FDA approved. They give it to pregnant women.
The Canada Health Alliance agrees that vitamin C and Zinc helps fight Covid. They also said to take vitamin D which the body produces in sunlight. Heat and sun kills Covid. The Canada Health Alliance also suggested Covid patients take hydroxychloroquine where available. They said where available because Bonnie Henry won't let you take it for Covid if you want to try it.
The FDA approved remdesivir for the treatment of Covid in October 2020. It is proven safe and has been around for years. It is not an experimental RNA genetically modified organism that rewrites your DNA. Health Canada approved remdesivir for treatment of severe COVID-19 back in July 2020. Bonnie Henry said she was excited about the sucess of remdesivir in the treatment of Covid back in May 2020. Then all of a sudden, the World Health Organization pulled the plug.
Bonnie Henry worked for the World Health Organization. The WHO is not led by a medical doctor, it is led by a leader of a violent Communist Paramilitary Organization. He was put there by Communist China. The same ones defiantly engaging in a modern genocide against Buddhists and Muslims in China and sanctions anyone who dares to speak out against it.
Wuhan is throwing Pool parties and dance parties while their State run media is telling us the sky is falling and we need to lockdown again. The main stream media is criminally insane. CBC lied about Covid hospitalization rates in Manitoba. They didn't make a mistake, they lied.
The fraud is over. The PCR test is worthless. Get back to work. Ban Bonnie Henry.

Ontario man freed after self-defence shooting
CTV is reporitng that "A Collingwood, Ont. man who shot and killed two masked men during a home invasion two years ago is free.
The Crown has withdrawn manslaughter charges against 57-year-old Cameron Gardiner for the deaths of 52-year-old Dean Copkov and 42-year-old Donovan Bass.
The details of the case were previously under a publication ban that was lifted on Tuesday. According to court documents, Gardiner's lawyers argued the shootings were in self-defence." No kidding. It was thier gun.
Three armed suspects invaded his home, beat him and his wife and zip tied them to a chair. When his son showed up the man was able to break free. During a struggle with the assailants, they were shot with their gun. It wasn't his gun it was their gun. They invaded his home with guns and were shot in self-defence. Case dismissed.

Mafioso busted after being seen in YouTube cooking video
The New York Post is reporting that "A Mafia fugitive has been caught in his Caribbean hideaway - after being spotted in YouTube cooking videos he made with his wife, Italian police said Monday.
Marc Feren Claude Biart, 53, had been on the run since 2014, when Italian prosecutors ordered his arrest for alleged cocaine trafficking for the Cacciola clan of the ‘Ndrangheta Mafia."
"He managed to lead a quiet life in Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic - until he showed off his Italian cooking skills on a YouTube channel, police said, according to the news agency. While Biart attempted to hide his face, he was betrayed by distinctive tattoos on his body." Bad luck.

AstraZeneca, RNA, DNA and GMO
Pharmaceutical Technology is reporitng that "Several countries in Europe have suspended the University of Oxford / AstraZeneca (AZ) Covid-19 vaccine completely or partially after several suspected deaths were reported due to blood clotting following vaccination.
The countries that have banned the use of the vaccine following similar reports of blood clots include Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Austria, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Latvia."
The Daily Mail is reporitng that "An Irish health chief has called for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be suspended following reports of serious post-jab blood clots in Norway and the death of a teacher in Italy." Germany has haulted the AstraZeneca vaccine in people below 60 years of age.
The Irish Times is reporitng that "A survey last week suggested that nearly a quarter of Germans would be wary of accepting the AstraZeneca jab." OK so let's do the math.
AstraZeneca is a large pharmaceutical company that stands to make a lot of money from their vaccine as do the others. They, like all the other large pharmaceutical companies have paid lobbyists in the government, medical community and mainstream media. The pharmaceutical companies are in business to make money. When they secure a patent on a drug, they jack the price up to inhumane levels. That's business. They murdered the Sherman's for going to court to break patents and offer affordable generic medicine.
The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines use RNA which affects human DNA. There are conflicting schools of thought regarding the RNA vaccines. One school states that RNA adversely affects human DNA. The other school of thought adamantly denies that. The truth is, we don't know what it does because it's an experimental vaccine. Mustard gas was used during the war. It caused birth defects in humans. We don't know what RNA does yet. We are all guineapigs for their remapping of our DNA. They are even talking about using RNA in food.
The Canada Health Alliance opposes COVID-19 vaccination with inadequately trialed, experimental gene-modifying products. I like the reference to the GMO vaccine. That's what it is.
As I keep saying, I'm not an anti vaxxer. I support vaccine choice. Vaccine choice means having a say about what is injected into your body. Vaccine Choice Canada states that if there is a risk, there must be a choice. I agree. I'd take remdesivir in a heartbeat but these other experimental vaccines that cause blood clots and are genetically modified, I will refuse.
The PCR test is useless. We need to stop using it and get back to work. This fraud has gone on long enough. People have a right to earn a living and they have a right to choose what risks they will take. I choose to go to work and do business. That is my choice. We all have the right to make that choice. The government does not have the right to stop you from earning a living.

Kelowna RCMP releases identity of homicide victim more than one year later
The Penticton Western News is reporitng that "After a year with no meaningful updates, the Kelowna RCMP has released the identity of the man killed in Kelowna’s Upper Mission area back in March of last year." WTF? That is f*cked up. Are we going to have to wait another year before they release the identify of the person shot dead last Sunday in Kelowna? This is not acceptable.
29-year-old Amanpreet Bal was shot dead in Kelowna just before midnight on March 24, 2020. In 2016 he was busted for running a drug lab in Calgary.

Bonnie Henry Opposes Science
Bonnie Henry is a Freak. More restrictions? She has lost her mind and is an economic traitor to the nation. There are NO grounds for more restrictions. Dr Kulvinder Kaur and the Canada Health Alliance are the science as are Dr Simone Gold and the America's Frontline Doctors. Your lies have expired and so will you. Someone isn't listening to the people who pay her wages. Mike Farnsworth is a spineless weasel. We had hoped for much better from him but are sadly disappointed. People have the right to earn a living and exercise. I'll see you in hell.
