Vancouver Christmas Market and Fly over Iceland

We went to the Vancouver Christmas market and watched a movie at the fly Over Canada theater at Canada Place today. I haven't been to either for several years. I remember seeing some kind of 3D movie there once when my kids were young. We saved the Soar with Santa one for December and did the fly over Iceland one instead. We thought it was timely since Iceland is waiting for a volcano to erupt. It was awesome.

First we went into a room that was kind of Christmassy and I thought are you kidding me? We have to stand for this? I thought it was going to be like a movie in a theater. Then I realize it was just the preshow. Then we go into another room and I'm like AYFKM - we have to stand for this. Then I realize this is just a waiting room. They tell us to wear the seat belts and I'm like yeah whatever. I guess it's like a pretend your on an airplane kind of thing.

So we strap ourselves in and all of a sudden the wall in front of us comes down and the screen opens right up. I think the bench seat moved forward over the screen. That's what it felt like at least. Then it was like wow. This isn't a movie this is a virtual voyage. I used to take my kids to those at the Planetarium. Seat belts are necessary. You can't experience that on your phone.

The chair lilts forward and side to side so it does feel like you're flying through the air. At several points it felt like we were going to fall out of our chair or hit out feet on the mountains and glaciers as were raced over top them. It was impressive. I'm glad we ate afterwards. I did feel a bit quessey at some points. I'm glad we didn't do two back to back. It was better than I had expected. Next generation 4D with mist of water. I think we could smell grass. I think the 4D thing adds smells to the movie. It was worth seeing and I look forward to soaring with Santa next.

We got a seasons pass at the German Christmas Market. There are lots of nice booths where you can buy hand crafted decorations but there is also a ton of food booths. Today were got the all beef bratwurst and the hurricane potatoes which are a potato on a stick cut in a swirl and deep fried. They're kind of like a healthy potato chip. I'm not really a sauerkraut kind of guy but I love goulash and spaetzle. I don't normally buy those because I can make them as I did my apprenticeship at a German restaurant when I was a kid.

They serve their goulash in a bread bowl which is cool. I tried the mulled wine one year and I had to dump it in a planter. Sugary red wine. That's an oxymoron. Red wine isn't supposed to be sugary. Some people like it. That's not my thing. I did really liked the dark German beer one year but I'm back on the wagon again so I didn't have any this time.

I haven't really celebrated Christmas in a while. It's not because I'm Jehovah's Witness. I just didn't really have a reason to. This year we're going to get out and do stuff. I see they have Christmas lights up at the Capilano suspension bridge. It's a bit pricey but worth while if you get a seasons pass. Just like the gondola on Grouse or the Sea to Sky Gondola. Season's passes are worth it. We're also going to see the Winter Festival at the PNE this year.

3 dead, 2 wounded in Winnipeg shooting

Update: Fourth person dies following West Broadway shooting; police identify victims

2nd Update: Man charged in Winnipeg rooming house shooting - that is fishy as f*ck

CBC is reporting that "Three people are dead and two are critically injured after a shooting on Langside Street early Sunday morning, Winnipeg police say. Police were called to the 100 block of Langside just after 4 a.m., public information officer Jason Michalyshen told reporters at a news conference outside police headquarters. A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene, and another three victims — two men and a woman — were taken to the hospital in critical condition, Michalyshen said. One of the men has since died."

"There appeared to be multiple suites in the building where the shooting happened." A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene, and another three victims — two men and a woman — were taken to the hospital in critical condition, Michalyshen said. One of the men has since died. The victims are still being identified." The winnipeg Sun is reporting that "Another local resident indicated that there were a couple of gang houses further up on Langside. Megan said she has heard yelling and fighting and gunshots often in the area." This is kind of next level.

Update: One victim of weekend double shooting dies in hospital

This was a different shooting. Winnipeg is experiencing a spike in homicides since 2022.

Update: There are a lot of unanswered questions here because this shooting is definitely abnormal. There was more than one person fatally shot but it doesn't appear they were shooting people at random. They were going through different residences looking for people. A rival gang targeting the entire gang? That's kind of next level. Justin Trudeau's legal gun freeze did not stop it because they didn't use legal guns. They use throw aways that haven't been registered. BTW Ken Hardie is a freak. I live in his riding and I did not vote for him.

Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap

We see there has been a recent ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner swap. This is good. Yet we need to look at the irregularities and the realities of what is really going on here.

Who are the Israeli prisoners being released? Are they terrorists? No. They're women and children. The BBC is reprting that "The detainees were chosen from a list of 300 women and minors compiled by Israel. Less than a quarter of those on the list have been convicted - the vast majority are being held on remand while awaiting trial. Most of those listed are teenage boys - 40% of them under the age of 18. There is also one teenage girl and 32 women." Holy Nebuchadnezzar. WTF is really going on here?

"Save the Children surveyed more than 470 children across the West Bank, to hear about their experience of detention and to understand its resounding impact on their lives after release. The children echoed findings by other human rights organisations and painted a similarly bleak picture of the system. A majority reported they had endured a distressing or violent arrest or detention, in most cases at night; a coercive interrogation environment; physical and emotional abuse in detention; and a denial of essential services including an adequate education – all of which constitute a breach of their rights enshrined in international law."

Save the children is also reporting that "Children in the Israeli military detention system face inhumane treatment such as beatings, strip searches, psychological abuse, weeks in solitary confinement, and being denied access to a lawyer during interrogations, new research by Save the Children found." That is the reality and it is an abomination. Times have changed.

Veterans 4 Freedom posted a disturbing video clip from a female Israeli politician. At 5051 she insists that 2 million Palestinians leave Gaza. That's twice the population of Gaza so she is obviously including West Bank in those numbers. At first the politician said letting Palestinians leave Gaza at first was problematic. That's because they were killing them. People used the term genocide. They were killing civilians and a large percentage of whom are children.

Now she's saying OK now we'll let them leave. In fact they all have to leave and we want the international community to take 20 - 50 migrants each. Holy great and abominable. AYFKM? I personally don't have any problem with taking in migrants from Gaza. I have a problem with what's really happening here and how the fake news is misrepresenting it.

Now let's revisit some of the obvious anomalies but before we do that let me restate the obvious. The October 7th Hamas attack was inexcusable. Two wrongs don't make a right. They are both wrong. What's bad for the goose is bad for the gander. The concern that I have is the anomalies surround that attack. First of all how did they get in?

Former Israeli soldiers boldly declare that there is no way anyone can cross that border undetected. When a pigeon or a stork approaches the fence, alarms go off. Yet we saw the black water operatives blow up the fence to let the Hamas terrorists in. That was allowed to happen because Benny Yahoo the globalist in waiting moved all the troops patrolling that border over to West Bank. He let them in. Then he gave the IDF a stand down order forbidding them to engage the Hamas terrorists while they killed Israelis and took hostages. He let them take hostages. That clearly demonstrates the invasion of Gaza was staged.

This whole hostage exchange is a circus side show just like the one in Iran was. This does not mean the Holocaust never happened. This does not mean the earth is flat. The Holocaust did happen and the earth is not flat. That doesn't make me a globalist. It makes me a realist.

Thousands rally in Italy over violence against women after woman's killing

CTV is reporting that "Tens of thousands took to the streets of Italy's main cities on Saturday to mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, just as an Italian man suspected of killing his ex-girlfriend was extradited from Germany. The slaying of 22-year-old university student Giulia Cecchettin, allegedly at the hands of her former boyfriend, sparked outrage across Italy, where on average one woman is killed every three days."

Every three days? That's horrific. Domestic violence is an abomination. In North America yuppies exploit the me too movement but that is a valid concern which needs to be addressed.

Dublin had a riot recently after a woman and three children were stabbed by an immigrant. Once again we see a barrage of extremes. Dublin is experiencing an excess of illegal immigration. Genuine concerns have been exacerbated by racism. Remember Ireland at one time elected a fascist government just like Japan did. That was an abomination but we can see how the leftists are creating another manufactured emergency. It's the same problem, reaction solution paradigm.

First they create a problem, then they wait for the reaction before their offer their preplanned solution. BBC is reporting that "Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar said about 500 people were involved in the disorder, adding that they had "brought shame" on Ireland and promising new laws within weeks to bring those involved to justice."

First of all I don't support riots. Rioting and looting is unacceptable for any reason. Second of all I don't support excessive illegal immigration. We address this concern calmly and rationally. As soon as we give into extremists and agent provocateurs, our just cause is lost. We take the bait and fall for the trap to remove civil liberty which was their original objective all along.

Google warning on another blog post

OK this is crazy. This must have been a bot. As soon as I made the last blog post Google placed it behind a warning. WTF? It was instant so it must have been a bot. I have no idea what they could possibly consider sensitive content. The gods must be crazy.

High speed tractor chase in Surrey

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "A police chase along Highway 1 involving a tractor ended with one person arrested and sent to hospital, police say. 'BC Highway Patrol members were dealing with a call for service when they encountered a person driving a tractor on Highway 1 possibly involved in a protest,' Staff Sgt. Duane Honeyman said. Police chased the tractor along Highway 1 until the 176th Street offramp, where it collided with a BC Highway Patrol vehicle. The police vehicle and the tractor were heavily damaged."

Last month a similar police chase occurred with a stolen tractor. Some people are claiming this tractor was involved with a SOGI protest. That is unconfirmed. If it was we need to restate the obvious. SOGI is batsh*t crazy and it has nothing to do with Gay or Trangender rights. SOGI is about the sexualization of children. Yet sideswiping a police vehicle is completely unacceptable.

Jupiter and the full moon

Tonight you can see a big moon with a bright star beside it. That star is Jupiter. It looks awesome. Last month you could see Jupiter beside the moon. Back in 2019 someone took this picture of Jupiter beside the full moon and you can see the moons around Jupiter. That's pretty cool.

GQ honours Palestinian journalist as Man of the Year

Indy 100 is reporting that "GQ Middle East's decision to redefine its prestigious Man of the Year status with purpose has been met with praise, after honouring Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza and his courageous work. Azaiza is among many brave journalists risking their lives to share the realities of living in Gaza during the war. He has become a symbol of strength, using his platform to inform and inspire others to make change in the world."

The Impact of Israeli Military Detention on Palestinian Children

Inhumane treatment in Israeli prisons

IHIT and the Surrey Six Investigation

As we discuss why BC and Alberta should move away from the RCMP towards Regional policing, let's take a look at how they completely destroyed the Surrey Six Investigation. My website and blog started because of the Surrey six murder. It was a gang hit where two innocent bystanders were executed for simply being witnesses. That atrocity created a public outrage that continues to this day. It is worth noting how the RCMP investigators completely destroyed that case and why.

Derek Brassington was a lead investigator on that case. He was a married man who had a sexual affair with one of the witnesses. The police cover up of that fact caused Jamie Bacon to be tried separately from the others and created huge delays which originally saw him get off. The crown appealed and won. Jamie Bacon was finally convicted for ordering the hit. Then IHIT let Jamie Bacon out of prison into the Witness Protection Program. That was the final nail in the coffin.

The cover up wasn't about one cop having sex with one witness. It went far beyond that. He had an ongoing sexual relationship with Jamie Bacon's girlfriend. He also had an ongoing sexual relationship with DK's girl friend. All the other RCMP investigators knew about it. In fact one of his coworkers watched while he had a threesome with Jamie Bacon's girl friend and another witnesses. It might have been DK's girlfriend or it might have been yet another witness.

The point is this wasn't one cop with one witness. It was one cop with several witnesses and the other officers not only knew about it but they also participated in it. Cody Haevischer’s former girlfriend admitted she frequently drank to excess in the company of police while under witness protection and exchanged highly sexualized banter and jokes with them. It was all consensual but it was a climate of unprofessionalism that didn't just permeate through IHIT, it permeated through the entire RCMP. It started at Depot and never stopped. E Division were the worst offenders.

Craig Callen was the head of E Division which was the RCMP's name for BC. There was a group of swingers that Craig Callen would associate with and promote who the other rank and file officers referred to as the FOCCers - Friends of Craig Callen. Bill Fordy was one of those swingers. He was more worried about getting laid than he was with doing his job.

One time one of Bill Fordy's sexual partners from his unit sent him a booty call by text. Only she sent it to the entire unit by mistake. At one after hours RCMP event Bill Fordy was hanging naked in front of female coworkers with some toilet paper stuck up his ass. They lit it on fire and he had to squirm to try and put the fire out. They called it the dance of the flaming asshole. At least they picked an appropriate name for the event.

Bill Fordy wasn't corrupt, he was just stupid. The RCMP management promoted guys like that because they knew he wouldn't do his job. They weren't concerned with stopping crime. They were concerned with politics which is why they went after Cameron Ortis and are now going after Bill Majcher and Kim Marsh. This new announcement that Ottawa is considering moving the RCMP away from policing towards national security and cybercrime is another lie.

If they were concerned about stopping cyber crime they would have kept Cameron Ortis. When they say national security they are referring to under cover operations bribing drug addicts to commit acts of terrorism in Canada so they can justify breaking their oath and violating the charter of rights. Justin Trudeau doesn't want to stop crime, he wants to promote crime for the same reason he wants to promote gun violence. So he can justify cracking down on civil liberty. That is the WEF's MO and the politicized leadership of the RCMP are a big part of that agenda.

Getting rid of the RCMP and forming Regional policing isn't going to stop cops from sleeping with witnesses. The VPD had a guy that did the same thing. It will however, stop this politicized leadership that disbands units who effectively combat organized crime and transfers competent officers to other departments. That's what I saw in Seattle and that's what I see here now.
