Christmas Amaryllis: Remembering the Past

I bought an amaryllis from Costco the other day. I remember my mother, brothers and sister talk about amaryllises at Christmas. I knew they bloomed at Christmas but that's all I remember. Mine came in a three pack for 30 bucks and the bulbs are waxed. It's hard for me to understand how these can bloom without roots or water but we'll try it out. Mine won't bloom in time for Christmas but should be ready for the New Year. Rona had a single amaryllis in a pot with a pine cone in full bloom for 15 bucks. Very nice. Evidently, if you carefully remove the wax after it has bloomed, they will bloom again each summer. That's a nice Christmas tradition.

We went to the Vancouver Christmas Market again today and saw the Soar with Satan film at the Fly over Canada theater in Canada Place. I really like that. The bench of seats moves forward over the screen so you get a front row seat and you do feel like you're flying through air. Lots of great food at the Christmas market. It got pretty busy as it got closer to dinner time but the advantage of having season's passes is that you don't have to wait in line.



I was going to try a few other places this year but we ran out of money. Everyone at work is talking about Lac Lafarge in Coquitlam because that's free. I guess we'll do that next weekend. They have a free shuttle bus from Canada Place to the lights at Capilano Suspension bridge. I guess that's for the tourists because parking at Capilano is free but parking at Canada Place isn't.

Grouse mountain has lots of stuff going on at Christmas. They used to have live reindeer there and sleigh rides but the annual pass for the gondola is a bit pricey. The annual pass at the Sea to Sky gondola is half price but it's a further drive. Silverstar in Vernon has nicer sleigh rides with horses not a snow plow. You can also rent snow mobiles there. Big White in Kelowna has a lot going on. You can go on a dog sled there and they have a really cool ice climbing tower.

Cypress has the Lights to the Lodge of course. I forgot that they have some of the old Woodwards Christmas window displays at Canada Place on the way to the Fly Over Canada theatre. Last time we walked right past them without realizing what they were. That's somewhat historic. They're very old. Christ Church in Vancouver has the old Woodwards nativity scene.

We remember the Woodwards squat. Well when I was very young there was a large Woodwards department store on East Hastings. Every year they had Christmas window displays people would come to look at. When Woodwards shut down, the City saved some of the displays and showcase them at Canada Place each Christmas. I vaguely remember Woodwards on East Hastings but I do remmeber the Woodwards food floor at Guildford mall.

What I do remember about the Woodwards food floor in Guildford is that you'd get a plastic number to pick up your groceries. You'd then go get your car and drive up to a drive through where they would load your groceries into your car for you. That was retro.

QAnon Lies

The CIA QAnon con is back. They have this ridiculous website predicting an apocalyptic blackout where you can't buy food at the grocery stores. Yesterday they claimed the end was in five hours and when that came and went they claim Y2K3 the world as you know it is over. False prophets lies and insanity designed the lead the world astray. Y2K was that ridiculous claim the world was going to end in the year 2000 or the misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar in 2012..

The purpose of a false prophet is to distract the world from a true prophet. It's like the Jehovah's witnesses prediction the world would end in 1914. When it didn't end they said 1914 was a very significant year. But you didn't say 1914 was going to be a significant year. You said the world was going to end and it didn't. Christ said beware of false prophets. He didn't say there would be no more prophets. Prophecy is one of the gifts of the spirit. He said beware of false prophets.

Food storage and emergency kits are a good idea. We know the WEF is trying to create mass starvation and world food shortages. QAnon, like the Devil, will tell you nine truths to get you hooked on one lie or in the CIA's case, many lies. I can confront evil but I can't fix stupid.

I saw a really good sermon on YouTube about false prophets. It explained the principle really well then drifted off into false doctrine. It falsely claimed there would be no more prophets which contradicted his entire sermon. Christ said beware of false prophets and concluded by their fruits ye shall know them. The things they do and the things they teach. Revelations 11 talks about two false prophets and two true prophets. That clearly implies there will be more prophets. As I said before prophecy is one of the gifts of the spirit. A testimony of Jesus is the spirit of revelation.

When I was young I remember there was a guy on the radio called the Bible Answer Man. He was the most intolerant unchristian person I had ever listened to. Not only did he teach false doctrine, he boldly claimed that anyone who did not believe his narrow minded brand of false doctrine was sent from the devil. I don't have the time of day for that kind of nonsense.

Did you know that Muslims believe that Jesus was one of the most important prophets? Although they don't recognize his divinity they have a better understanding of his teachings than many born again Christians do. By their fruits ye shall know them.

Larry Amero sentenced to 18 years for murder

Global is reorting that Rabih Alkhalil and Lary Amero have been sentenced for the murder of Sandip Duhre in Vancouver more than a decade ago. Rabih Alkhalil was convicted of first-degree murder but escaped prison and is on the Lam.

"Alkhalil was sentenced to life behind bars with no chance of parole for 25 years, convicted of first-degree murder in the Duhre killing, as well 20 years for conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the November 2012 shooting of gang ally Sukh Dakh in Burnaby."

"Hells Angel Larry Amero, who appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on Monday, was also sentenced to 18 years of prison with credit for time served on two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. One count was for the Duhre hit, and the other was for Dakh killing later that year." OK 18 years with no mention of life. Now we just have to check time served. Time served for this offense not the other drug busts.

"Amero has been in prison since January 2018, meaning he has a little over nine years left on his sentence. He will have a lifetime firearms ban, orders not to communicate with Alkhalil, Dakh’s family members, and others."

This is the only semblance of justice Surrey has seen with regards to the Surrey Six. Jamie Bacon ordered the Surrey Six but he couldn't have done that without the club's permission and his connection to the club was Larry though his dead preppy brother Jonathon.

Inside Vancouver's failed drug policy

Portland Officials Propose To Re-Ban Public Drug Use Portland is another liberal sh*t hole.

People are scared as gang activity fuels Portland violence

Portland crime is killing their economy

Permanent drug inhalation site opens in downtown Victoria

That is straight up Satanic. Vancouver's failed drug policy is spreading like a cancer to other communities. The Hells Angels aren't the problem. Justin Trudeau and David Eby are.

Tucker Carlson Network (TCN)

Tucker Calreon is reporitng that "For months, people have been asking: What’s next for Tucker Carlson? The moment has arrived. Tucker Carlson is BACK. We are thrilled to announce the launch of Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) – a new streaming platform that will allow Tucker to deliver his message straight to you. In a world full of lies and manipulation, TCN will be always honest and always fair. And the best part? Not controlled. We’re not just another media company. TCN is spearheading a movement against lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink." Nice.

Five charged after Moncton, NB drug bust

The RCMP is reporting that "Two women and two men have also been charged in connection with a drug trafficking investigation in the Greater Moncton area. In September 2022, the New Brunswick RCMP Provincial Crime Reduction Unit (PCRU) began an investigation into the trafficking of illegal drugs in the Greater Moncton area. In the early morning hours of June 1, 2023, PCRU members arrested a 41-year-old man and a then 19-year-old woman in the Salisbury area, in connection with the investigation.'

"As a result of the arrests and searches, police seized more than eight kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, two kilograms of what is believed to be fentanyl, significant quantities of Shady 8 pills, drug trafficking paraphernalia, electronics, and money."

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago

The New York Times is reporting that "Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out." OK so this is a recent article from the New York Times. This is what they admit and this is how they are spinning or rationalizing it.

They have a document along with several interviews stating Israel knew about the attack a year before it happened. Then they spin that fact by claiming Israel didn't think it was realistic.

Knowing that the IDF is one of the most highly trained military forces in the world and that the Gaza border is one of the most highly monitored borders in the world that is under constant surveillance, for all practice purposes, that plan was indeed ridiculous. Under the current conditions, it could not happen. Two things had to change to make it possible.

We've heard testimony from former IDF solders who served on the Gaza border declare that a pigeon or a stork can't approach that border crossing without triggering alarms. So that means if this plan was to succeed, Benny Yahoo would have to take all the IDF soldiers monitoring the border and move them somewhere else. That is exactly what he did. So this new document puts that treasonous act into perspective. He knew about the plan a year before hand and he helped make it possible when we all know without his help it would not have been possible.

That's just getting in. We also saw what arguably looked like Caucasian Backwater operatives blow up the border fence to let the Hamas operatives in. In fact, the guy in front on one of the trucks they let in sure looks like a white guy to me. Only the New York Times article claims that was an Israeli military vehicle seized by Hamas led gunmen.

It kind of looks like they were led by a Caucasian Blackwater operative to me not Hamas but that's besides the point. The point is the Fake News spin article claims these Hamas led gunmen were riding on an Israeli military vehicle they had seized after crossing the border and entering Israel. Oh really? Just how are they going to seize an Israeli military vehicle from the IDF without alerting the IDF to their presence. The Fake News lie doesn't make sense which brings up the second impossibility in the year old plot. There's no way they could make it across the border without Benny Yahoo's help and there's no way they could make it in and out with hostages unless Benny Yahoo gave the IDF a stand down order which he did.

So this new document puts the IDF stand down order into new perspective. The New York Times is spinning the document claiming that Israel didn't take it seriously because the plan was not feasible. However, the presence of the document reveals the truth. Taking all the IDF soldiers monitoring the Gaza border off that assignment knowing Hamas was planning just such an attack wasn't an accident or an innocent act of negligence. It was a predetermined malicious act of criminal culpability. So was the IDF stand down order.

The New York Times rationalizations convict Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact the corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recenly resumed. Imagine that.

There's another thing. The New York Times article states that "The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named 'Jericho Wall,' outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people."

That's a very interesting name for an operation. I own a Jericho and a Masada. They are Israeli service pistols. The Jericho is named after the city that was protected by the Walls of Jericho that fell and the Masada is named after the legendary fortress beside the Dead Sea which I climbed when I was young. Hamas would not name one of their operations the Walls of Jericho. The New York Times admits that was the name Israel gave the operation.

Again, that is a very interesting choice of names. Jericho was a walled city Israel conquered. There is a popular legend about how the walls protecting the city fell and let the Israeli army in to conquer the city. To name the Hamas attack the Walls of Jericho reveals the true agenda behind it. The Hamas plan as outlined in the new document Israel received a year ago was simply not feasible. They couldn't get across the border and they couldn't get in and out without IDF resistance. They had to have help which Benny Yahoo gave them. However, even with that help, we all know what the outcome would be. We all know Israel would provide a colossal response.

So from a Hamas position, this suicide mission wasn't a plan to bring down the walls of Jericho and let Hamas conquer Israel. It was an excuse for Israel to invade Gaza and conquer it. That's why they named it the Walls of Jericho. This was not a Hamas operation. This was a Mossad operation given to them by the CIA who use false flag attacks as a pretext for war just like they tried with the USS Liberty. I'd like to give a shout out to Dan Dicks who found this recent article in the New York Times and pointed out that their breaking news two months after the Hamas attack was something he had already reported two days after the attack. Cheers.

Thousands of tons of dead fish wash ashore in Japan

The Daily Mail is reporting that "Thousands of tons of dead fish have washed up on a beach in northern Japan, prompting speculation that the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant has wrought havoc on local ecosystems. The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating an unsettling sliver blanket that covered almost a mile of shoreline."

Thousands of tons of dead fish. That's a lot. "The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating an unsettling sliver blanket that covered almost a mile of shoreline." A blanket of dead fish a mile long. "Officials could not come up with an explanation for the phenomenon, but Takashi Fujioka, a Hakodate Fisheries Research Institute researcher, posited a number of theories as to why the fish could have died en-masse. He said they may have become exhausted due to a lack of oxygen while moving in a densely packed school in shallow waters, or may have suddenly entered cold waters during their migration and succumbed to shock." That's pretty fishy.

"There have been several recorded cases of similar phenomena springing up on several parts of Japan's coastline. But this particular phenomenon occurred just three months after Japanese authorities began releasing treated radioactive water back into the sea - a move which angered its neighbours including China and South Korea." Releasing radioactive water into the ocean is not a good idea. It's actually really irresponsible. Although the tsunami and rector meltdown happened a long time ago the release of radioactive water was recent.

This reiterates my position that nuclear power is not green and is not safe. Nuclear waste from reactors is virtually impossible to safely dispose of. I support hydro electric power.

In July the Guardian reported that "A fish living near drainage outlets at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in May contained levels of radioactive cesium that are 180 times Japan’s safety limit. The black rockfish caught on 18 May was found by plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) to have 18,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium-137, compared with the legal maximum level of 100 becquerels per kg. Japan’s plan to release 1.3m tonnes of treated water from the Fukushima plant has sparked concern in the region, despite approval from the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Hong Kong has threatened to ban food imports from 10 Japanese prefectures if the water release goes ahead as planned."

"A total of 44 fish with cesium levels above 100 becquerels per kg have been found in the Fukushima plant port between May 2022 and May 2023, Tepco confirmed, with 90% of those caught in or near the inner breakwater. Other specimens identified as having particularly high radioactivity were an eel with 1,700 becquerels per kg, caught in June 2022, and rock trout, with 1,200 becquerels in April 2023." I was joking about radioactive sushi but now that concern is real.

RCMP still want to destroy evidence from the Pickton farm

The Vancovuer Sun is reporitng that "The RCMP has asked the court for permission to dispose of 14,000 pieces of evidence collected during its probe into former Port Coquitlam pig farmer Robert (Willie) Pickton, the target of the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history."

"The move is opposed by 40 groups and individuals, who say the items seized in this historic case are important and should be kept in storage. Beyond the six women Pickton was convicted in 2007 of murdering, more than two dozen unsolved missing women files have been linked by DNA to the farm." Destroying that evidence would be a criminal act.

Wally Opal's Missing Women's Inquiry was a farce. As soon as other suspects were mentioned he shut it down so he could censor evidence. I can tell you the Pickton case is not over yet. I can tell you more information will be forthcoming but it won't be about the Hells Angels. It will be about the RCMP's cover up which once again reinstills the need for a Regional Police force in BC.

Mutual respect between Gaza and Israel

The Times is Israel is reporitng that "Several clips filmed in Gaza uploaded onto social media over the last several hours show how the IDF has rounded up dozens of Palestinians — said in Hebrew media reports to be possible Hamas suspects — who have surrendered themselves to Israeli troops in Jabaliya and other areas in the northern Strip. The young Palestinian men are seen stripped down to their underwear, blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs."

This was reported in the Times of Israel. I choose that source because it reflects what they admit or at least are unable to deny. I had heard some Palestinian reports claimed Israel were stripping prisoners naked and one photo showed the IDF taking prisoners out to the desert to be executed. OK they're not naked they're in their underwear but that is creepy weird.

I've heard a lot of very concerning reports of Israel mistreating civilian prisoners including women and children which means this is something we need to discuss. Reuters has more pictures of men in their underwear. This is an example of Israel's displaced aggression. They need some time with Dr Phil because they definitely have some unresolved issues.

I've got some other things to do but I just wanted to publicly state that both sides need to start displaying a little more mutual respect for each other because both sides are refusing to do so. Remember God is the God of Abraham. He is the father of the Jews and the father of the Palestinians. If you don't both smarten up you will both get a time out. This whole thing is very CIA. It's reminiscent of Guantanamo Bay which is an outrage rationalized with lies.

I don't support the UN at all but December 10th is Human Rights Day and I do support human dignity. Terrorists and oppressors don't. That's the root of the problem. Guantanamo Bay has got to go and Israel's mistreatment of prisoners has to come to an end. Orthodox Jews oppose the brutality in Gaza. It's the secular Jews that support the WEF who inflict it.
