Dennis Watson on Islam and Iran

CTV is reporting that "The Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie was taken off a ventilator and able to talk Saturday, a day after he was stabbed as he prepared to give a lecture in upstate New York. Rushdie, a native of India who has since lived in Britain and the U.S., is known for his surreal and satirical prose style, beginning with his Booker Prize-winning 1981 novel "Midnight's Children," in which he sharply criticized India's then-prime minister, Indira Gandhi."

"The Satanic Verses drew death threats after it was published in 1988, with many Muslims regarding as blasphemy a dream sequence based on the life of the Prophet Muhammad, among other objections. Rushdie's book had already been banned and burned in India, Pakistan and elsewhere before Iran's Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie's death in 1989. Khomeini died that same year, but the fatwa remains in effect. Iran's current supreme leader, Khamenei, never issued a fatwa of his own withdrawing the edict, though Iran in recent years hasn't focused on the writer."

Hadi Matar, the suspect charged in the stabbing was born in the United States to Lebanese parents. CTV referred to the stabbing as a targeted, unprovoked, preplanned attack which it was. True North quoted a "charity" that referred to it as a terrorist attack which it wan't.

True North is reporitng that "Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses, published in 1988, forced the author to go into hiding for nearly 10 years. The book’s title referred to verses of the Quran, which Rushdie claimed had been removed." Trashing relion is not nice.

I have two points to make. Hadi Matar is not a terrorist and Ruhollah Khomeini is not a nice man which leads me to the topic of Islam and Iran. I understand that Candice Malcolm's husband is a Muslim from Iran. He is a good man and they make a wonderful couple.

I support the freedom of religion. I don't care if you are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Atheist, Sikh, Buddhist, or Baha'i - I don't care. People have a right to their beliefs. I realize that Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims sometimes fight with each other like Catholics and Protestants did in Northern Ireland. That defeats the purpose of religion. People have a right to their beliefs.

"God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Acts 10:34-35

I believe in the separation of the Church and State and I oppose the adaption of a State religion. Yet Israel has the right to form a Jewish State just like Iran has the right to form an Islamic State.

Israel's Jewish State is problematic just like Iran's Islamic State is. What happens to all the non Jews living in Israel and all the non Muslims living in Iran? They all become second class citizens. In fact, if you are a non Jew, you can't become a citizen of Israel. I'm not saying I oppose their right to form a Jewish State. I'm just saying it's problematic and that's not the society I choose to live in. I'll vistit there and adhere to their customs but I prefer to live in a free republic.

The CIA demonize Iran because they want their oil. That's what Operation Ajax was all about. In fact we have MI6 and the CIA to thank for the religious extremism that exists in Iran. Yet women have far more rights in Iran than they do in Saudi Arabia. The CIA ignore that because of their ties to Saudi oil and Saudi's support of the CIA's arms dealing and money laundering.

Iranians are Persians not Arabs. There was a wonderful YouTube series about a couple from Norway that toured Iran. In Iran the women rock their hijab back slightly to show part of their hair. All my Syrian neighbors would never do that. Obama wanted to sell Iran nuclear reactors which would give them the means to make nuclear weapons which in my opinion is unwise. Yet I don't support sanctions against Iran. Let them live they way they choose and let them have their oil.

The Muslims in Communist China's prison camps have seen exactly where Justin Trudeau's lies ultimately lead. We need to look past the CIA's Globalist lies about Muslims and embrace them in our common struggle against the World Economic Forum's Orwellian agenda.

Man dies following altercation outside Kelowna nightclub

Update on the homicide outside the Liquid Zoo

Today in BC is reporting that "One man is dead following an incident at a downtown Kelowna nightclub. Kelowna RCMP was called to the 200-block of Lawrence Avenue around 11 p.m. on Aug. 12, to find a man laying on the ground while another man was seen running away. Emergency services transported the injured man to Kelowna General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later."

The Liquid Zoo? I can't believe that place still exists. I hear Dave is running for mayor. That is somewhat bizarre. As for the Zoo, there comes a time in a man's life when he's supposed to grow up. Peter Pan dancing around with the lost boys in never never land. Give it a rest. That ain't me.

Pierre Poilievre and Stephen Harper - Update

A few weeks ago I got a phone call from Pierre Poilievre's campaign office. They asked me if they could count on my vote for his Conservative leadership bid. I said yes you can. He's my third choice. The conversation kind of ended there. I was being completely honest with them. Originally Jean Charest was my first choice but I was shocked and deeply disappointed he came out so hateful towards the truckers so I ditched him - à dieu.

True North is reporting that "This week, multiple legacy media outlets claimed Canadians were scared of Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre because former prime minister Stephen Harper endorsed the Carleton MP to become leader. Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner discuss why these reports and polls can’t be trusted."

Actually Stephen Harper's endorsement of Pierre Poilievre was a huge concern for me. Stephen Harper is a bad man. Harper solid our oil rights to Communist China. He was a complete enemy of the Charter of Rights and he supported torture in Afghanistan. Harper was a tax and spend pork barrel politician like unto Brian Mulroney. Stephen Harper is a Globalist.

I realize that Pierre Poilievre is his own person and that Stephen Harper's endorsement of him doesn't really mean anything. It was however, a legitimate concern I had. I still overwhelmingly support Leslyn Lewis and Roman Barber over Pierre Poilievre but that's just me. IMO Pierre Poilievre would be a lot better than Justin Trudeau. Leslyn Lewis would be a dream come true.

Update: Maxime Bernier is reporting that "Pierre Poilievre tweeted that we need to send more arms to Ukraine, impose more sanctions on Russia, and welcome more Ukrainian refugees." Perhaps I should take him off the list completely. His Harper colors are showing through.

It's Leslyn Lewis or Maxime Bernier.

Insights from Alan Brough of the Canada Health Alliance

Previously I've mentioned how numerous coalitions of medical doctors and health care practitioners have joined together to speak out against lock downs and Covid misinformation in the media. The Great Barrington Declaration was written by professors from Oxford, Harvard and Stanford. Dr Kelly Victory was a specialist that appealed for calm right from the beginning.

Early on Dr Simone Gold said cases mean nothing and that the media is misrepresenting those numbers. That claim was later confirmed by Dr Alan Mordue, who is an experienced public health specialist from the UK. Dr Mordue stated that a confirmed case means you have symptoms and a positive test result. One without the other simply is not a case. The media conned us.

Fast forward to 2022. Alan Brough is the Executive Director of Canada Health Alliance, one of the Canadian coalitions of Health Care practitioners speaking out against Covid misinformation in the media. The media has been bombarding us with false information about Covid from day one.

On the topic of media misrepresentation, Alan Brough made some interesting observations about recent changes in how the weather is being reported. He states that "We have seen heat warnings all across Canada over this last month. Now I have to wonder if the heat warning threshold has been brought down this year to build the perception that warnings and advisories are now the norm. That would very subtly reinforce the perception of an environmental crisis…or is it really the hottest summer we’ve ever had?"

"I distinctly remember just a few years ago the local radio stations here in Canada would all be celebrating when we finally got over thirty degrees as ‘summer had finally arrived.’ Now all of a sudden Environment Canada is giving us advisories at twenty-seven degrees! And has anyone else noticed that Environment Canada has quietly changed their name to ‘Environment and Climate Change Canada.’ I wonder what the addition of those two little words tells us about the next coming crisis…"

My point is that there are a lot of sensible educated people out there questioning the narrative. For good reason. Keep an eye on the Breaking News at the Canada Health Alliance to stay informed. Follow the real science not the narrative and the fake news.

Fatal shooting in Maple Ridge - named

CTV is reporting that "A man has died and police are looking witnesses following a shooting in Maple Ridge, B.C., on Friday. The Ridge Meadows RCMP said the shooting happened shortly before noon on 216th Street between Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road."

CTV is reporting that IHIT states that the name of the victim is Cory William Thomas. "Police believe the shooting was connected to the local drug trade."

Hells Angels associate convicted of drug trafficking

The Montreal Gazzette is reporting that "A man known to police for his ties to the Hells Angels was sentenced Wednesday to an 18-month prison term for his role in a trafficking network that delivered drugs including cocaine from Montreal to the Abitibi region."

"Almost a dozen people were arrested in the investigation, dubbed Project Maculé. It began as an probe into the death of Bardia Gorji, who was killed in 2020; homicide detectives uncovered evidence his death was tied to a drug-trafficking network." Drug trafficking and murder. Imagine that. Every province except BC make Hells Angels drug busts. Ask yourself why.

Project Divergent was launched by Manitoba RCMP

⚠️Wanted⚠️

RCMP in British Columbia and Manitoba are looking for 24-year old Denis Ivziku who is wanted on drug-related charges stemming from an international drug and firearms trafficking investigation dubbed Project Divergent. https://t.co/9noBNigj7v pic.twitter.com/4le9znLaPY

— Burnaby RCMP (@BurnabyRCMP) August 11, 2022

Today in BC is reporting that "The investigation, dubbed “Project Divergent”, began in 2018 when a Manitoba RCMP criminal analyst noticed trends in the importation of drugs into Canada. In partnership with policing agencies across Canada and across the world, investigators managed to target several prominent drug traffickers operating in Manitoba."

"Through their investigative work, police arrested Damion Ryan, a full-patch Hells Angels member with the Attica chapter in Greece. That led to the arrest of 20 individuals, 17 of whom were operating in Manitoba. Two B.C. men, Kelvin Lee Nelson and Mazin Nzar Zandy were charged in the investigation." Wolf Pack fiend Damion Ryan is the very person the CFSEU refused to arrest.

"Officers seized 110kgs of cocaine, 41.4kgs of methamphetamine, three kilograms of fentanyl, a half a kilogram of MDMA, 14 handguns, five assault-style rifles and more than $445,000 in Canadian currency. 'Project Divergent disrupted the supply chain and took these drugs off the street,' said Insp. Grant Stephen, officer in charge of the federal, serious, and organized crime section." Exactly. Enforcing the law saves lives. Lawlessness breeds exploitation.

"Police are still searching for 24-year-old Denis Ivziku, who is believed to be living in the Lower Mainland. They are also searching for 30-year-old Kieffer Michael Kramar who is from Winnipeg but could be anywhere in Canada."

Maybe Denis Ivziku is in Witness Protection along with Jamie Bacon and Robby Alkhalil.

Project Monarch targeted illegal guns in Ontario

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "At York Regional Police headquarters on Wednesday a joint-forces police operation unveiled a cache of 27 handguns, nine kilos of cocaine, 1.9 kilos of fentanyl. 20,000 Xanax pills, 28 grams of heroin (worth $1.3 million) with 22 people in total arrested from London, Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto on more than 400 related charges.

The immense Project Monarch — a 10-month joint-forces operation that started in October 2021 and ended July 28, 2022 — might have not brought the biggest seizures of all time, but it showed police and community partners are doing their part to stem the tide of guns and drugs smuggled into Ontario at any cost." This is what the CFSEU in BC is supposed to do but doesn't do.

Two shot while attending homicide victim's funeral

The Toronto Sun is reporitng that "A cemetery in Richmond Hill is the scene of a shooting where two people have been injured, one seriously, while attending a funeral for a man who was shot and killed earlier this week in Toronto." The funeral was for Gidid Mohamed.

Three shootings in the DTES

CTV is reporting that "A woman was badly injured in what Vancouver police say is the third shooting in five days in the city. The latest victim was found with gunshot wounds early Thursday morning in the Downtown Eastside, police said in a statement the same day."

These are likely not gang related but more likely an example of how completely pout of control the DTES has become. What we are doing there isn't working. That tent city of defiant lawlessness needs to come down. They are filled with crime and exploitation.
