China's persecution of Falun Gong overseas intensifies

Falun Dafa Infocenter is reporting that "The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) long-standing transnational repression against Falun Gong practitioners outside of China has taken a dramatic turn over the past year. Top CCP leaders have launched a new campaign aimed at turning international public opinion and even the U.S. government against Falun Gong and Shen Yun Performing Arts, an American Chinese classical dance company founded by Falun Gong practitioners."

"The Long Arm of Beijing is a 20-minute documentary released in April, that provides critical context for the current escalation and includes numerous first-hand accounts of transnational repression by the CCP targeting Falun Gong practitioners."

This is disappointing. China has made progress in so many ways it is disheartening to see them revert to the old ways of hard line Communism. Organ Harvesting, torture and defamation. No lie can live forever but how long can these injustices continue? That's the thing with segregation. If you don't know any Falun Gong members you have no idea that the CPP is lying about them.

I've known many members of the Falun Gong in Vancouver for many years. They are wonderful people. They're very peaceful and nonviolent. I met one man who said back in China he was very angry and used to get in a lot of fights. He said Falun Gong helped calm him down. Now he is much more peaceful. I can see it. I can feel it when I hear their music at their events.

They promote morality and modesty.  Anastasia Lin is Falun Gong. Her nobility is indisputable. When I see defamation about her on YouTube calling Falun Gong a cult I am astounded.  Anastasia Lin is honest and sincere. This cult obsession is insane. They're Buddhists. The believe in the virtues of Confucius, the truthfulness of Tao and the compassion of Buddha. So do I. That is not a cult. This evil oppression is insane. It's just like the oppression of the monks in Tibet. 

The defamation of the Shen Yun is just as insane. Any Broadway ballet is very hard work. Many can't cut it but the Shen Yun production is a wonderful celebration of Chinese culture before Communism. That's the problem. They don't agree with Communism. That's their crime and for that crime they are literally being defamed, tortured and murdered. 

The Greed of Greater Israel and the UN's Agenda

 

I've talked about this military patch showing a revised map of Israel and since that patch has gone viral I think we should talk about this delusional concept of Greater Israel conquering territory God forbid them to conquer.

Tucker Carlson had the UN Globalist Jeffrey Sachs on who was trashing the idea of Greater Israel. This is yet another example of how the WEF's globalists are setting up Israel to justify their insane agenda against them. Netanyahu is a bad man. He is a pawn sent in to justify the UN's agenda.

First of all Jeffrey Sachs mocks the book of Joshua and falsely claims the revised map of Greater Israel is based on that book. Wrong. God commanded Israel not to conquer certain cities. He commanded them to vex not the stranger that sojourneth with thee. So the Gaza genocide and the expanded borders are a defiant act against the commandments of God and as they say in Rome, Pride cometh before the fall.

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins. There is nothing Messianic about Netanyahu. Netanyahu is an Antichrist in the sense that he pretends to support God's will while he defiantly defies it. According to the old law soldiers who sexually assaulted prisoners should be put to death. 

I want to emphasize Tucker Carlson's interview with Jeffrey Sachs because it's important to see the different angles of the same con. Jeffrey Sachs is a UN Globalist. Nothing he says matters. Everything he says is spin for the one world government narrative. Ultimately the UN will use this genocide and this land grab to justify their attempt to wipe out Israel. 

They'll come close. They will conquer Israel and hold Jerusalem under seize for three and a half years. Then they'll take Jerusalem but not for long. That's when there will be so many dead the birds of the air will feed on their carcasses. 

My point is the Globalists are grooming Netanyahu to justify military intervention against him. Kind of like how the US set up Saddam Hussein. I don't support Netanyahu but I don't support Jeffrey Sachs or the UN either. 

Israel has a right to exist but they must coexist. It's sad to see how the extremists have hijacked Israel after Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. Yitzhak Rabin was a good man.

The Last Kilo and Hotel Cocaine: CIA's Cuba connection

People Magazine is reporting that the book The Last Kilo explains how the CIA recruited Cuban refugees in Miami to import cocaine in support of the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. OK so we know about Gary Webb, Blandon and Freeway Rickie. Now we see the CIA's ties to the Los Muchachos.

Rafael “Chi Chi” Quintero was the CIA guy that recruited Cubans to import cocaine into the USA. On that note, the series Hotel Cocaine tells the story of Roman Compte, one of the Cubans the CIA recruited to run the famous Mutiny Hotel in Miami which became the heart of the cocaine trade in the late 70s and early 80s. All this CIA cocaine never stopped.

Update: Quebec man's sister also injured

CBC is reporting that "A man from Quebec has died following a boat explosion at a South Florida marina this week that also injured six people, officials say." 

"The explosion was Monday and the man has been identified as Sebastien Gauthier, 41, said Arielle Callender, a spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in a statement to CBC News." 

"Gauthier was among seven passengers aboard a 37-foot vessel at the Lauderdale Marina in Fort Lauderdale. According to preliminary information, the vessel exploded after its engines were started, said Callender. The six other passengers were rushed to hospital for treatment. Callender said an investigation by the FWC is ongoing." The Dirty News posted the video.

Car bombs now boat bombs. That is suspicious.

Trump Announces Anti-Drug Ad Blitz

 Zero Hedge is reporting that "President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday he would aim to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and will launch an anti-drug advertising campaign inside the United States."

“We’re going to advertise how bad drugs are for you,” Trump said in Arizona at a Turning Point conference, referring to the ad campaign. “They ruin your look, they ruin your face, they ruin your skin, they ruin your teeth.”

The ad campaign may sound silly but given what they are doing now, it's a definite step forward. The inherit problem we now see is how harm reduction has become harm promotion. 

They go around showing people how to safely use harmful drugs. That is insane. There is no safe way to use harmful drugs. Harmful drugs are harmful. Likewise there's no such thing as a safe supply of harmful drugs.

The article talked about Nancy Reagon's just say no campaign back in the /80's which everyone made fun of. However, compare that to the insanity we now hear them spew and even that would be a step forward. Prevention means being honest about the harmful effects of drugs. 

I remember when I was young they used to have commercials on TV of an egg frying and the caption this is your brain on drugs. I ordered a copy of a pamphlet the government put out called Stay Real listing the harmful effects of pot. 

Which is something we obviously do need to talk about because now kids claim pot is good for you. Pot cures cancer. No it does not. Smoking anything is bad for you. It's somewhat hypocritical to have all the huge warning on cigarette packages and claim harmful drugs aren't harmful.

Designating the Cartel a Terrorist Organization

As for the campaign to designate the cartel a terrorist organization, that too is somewhat hypocritical. If we designate the cartel a terrorist organization we have to also designate the CIA a terrorist organization which we clearly should. The CIA supply the cartel and brought ISIS back.

If we want to reduce the cartels drug trafficking we need to disband the CIA. That would save the world from harm.

Hells Angels associate killed in Mexico

The National Post is reporting that "A wanted Canadian man with alleged ties to the Hells Angels and cocaine trafficking was shot and killed in broad daylight in a Mexican Riviera resort town on Saturday."

"According to local authorities, 39-year-old Mathieu Bélanger of Repentigny, Que., had left a gym in Playa del Carmen’s residential area and was entering his SUV when two people arrived and opened fire before fleeing on a motorcycle."

Someone sent me a link after I saw it on the Dirty News' X but I wanted to wait until after Christmas to report it. We can scour the world for negative news at Christmas or we can focus on the positive. The choice is ours. The thing is it could have been anyone who ordered the hit because it's cheap to have someone killed in Central America for any reason.

The Toronto Sun states that "Journal de Montreal reports that Belanger was part of a cartel that exported massive quantities of cocaine to Quebec and the rest of Canada. The paper said he was a high-ranking member of the gang." That makes sense.

Last month it was reported that a drug dealer in Mexico said the Quebec Hells Angels were his best customer. That guy could of had him killed if he was cutting him out and getting it through another line. The club could have killed him. A BFM Mafia associate could have killed him. Anyone could have.

The National Post is presenting a bizarre Five Eyes Lies twist that sounds ridiculous. They are claiming that he was killed by Sinaloa Cartel’s Los Chapitos faction. "Bélanger is believed to have been associated with Fratrum, a criminal organization supplying the outlaw motorcycle club with narcotics."

They claim that "Police theorized the group wanted to take over territory in the city and used member-owned businesses to launder the illegal gains." OK that's ridiculous. Hells Angels associates go to Mexico to buy drugs not to compete with their suppliers. Is there a rivalry within the Sinaloa cartel? Perhaps. 

Mathieu Bélanger was busted in Mexico with Crystal meth April of this year. The Dirty News is reporting that "Bélanger was suspected to be part of a group named ‘Fratrum’, which was allegedly sponsored by full-patch HAMC member, Vincent Boulanger. Authorities suspected Fratrum had an initiative to take control of territories on the island of Montreal." 

That makes much more sense. Vincent Boulanger is white.

The National Post says "Sources told Le Journal de Montréal that Bélanger maintained a close relationship with Seeyomak Salemi-Seyfeddine, a Fratrum leader who goes by The Persian and is said to have close ties with the Hells Angels."

This is where it starts to get shady. Seeyomak is Persian. Persians who sell drugs are working for the CIA not the Iranian government. In Operation Fast and Furious the ATF were working for the CIA. The CIA corrupts the ATF so it can disband the ATF and take over that jurisdiction. The same with the FBI. 

The Dirty News is correctly observing that Samy Tamouro, another Quebec Hells Angels associate was murdered in Mexico at a gym right before Christmas last year. 

Although Samy Tamouro was tied to the Hells Angels he was tied to the old Rizzuto faction. It appears that after Vito's death the Quebec Hells Angels have joined the Ontario Hells Angels in supporting the Calabrians out of Hamilton. 

Encanto on Disney

Last night we watched Disney's Encanto because it took place in Colombia. I was a bit hesitant because Disney is f*cking up everything now especially the latest Star Wars series. Die hard Star Wars fans are now officially boycotting Disney. I was pleasantly surprised. Encanto had a positive message.

It was animated but had scenes from different parts of Colombia in it. One scene was at Caño Cristales a colorful river that looks like crystals are in the water. The colorful display is from a plant not actual crystals but it is quite beautiful. 

A popular Russian German influencer in Colombia went there and showed an army boat with a huge machine gun mounted on it to reclaim the river from the guerrillas. That's  hard core.

Disney also did a very nice one about the Day of the Dead in Mexico called Coco. It was about remembering your ancestors. 

BTW I put up an inflatable nativity today and my Muslim neighbors said Merry Christmas to me. During Ramadan I put up a big Muslim inflatable and say to them Ramadan Mubarak. That is respect for cultural diversity. The Christmas storm never hit. Just rain no heavy winds. Turkey's ready. Peace.

Christmas Bells: Let Freedom Ring

Update: Donald Trumps' Christmas Message

Christians in Gaza ‘We’re Still Here’ - Greed Kills

Remember when churches used to have church bells? OK that was before my time but when I was a child St Andrews in North Vancouver used to play a record of church bells from their bell tower. They still have them in Europe. 

ACDC used to sing about Hells Bells but bells are normally associated with freedom not slavery. We think of the liberty bell and the hymn let freedom ring. 

Peter, Paul and Mary sang about a bell of freedom and a different kind of hammer. A hammer of Justice not slavery because where there is no justice there can be no peace. 

Someone sent me a virtual Christmas card and it had a snowy scene of an old town with carolers and a church announcing the birth of Christ. Which causes us to ask what child is this? Boney M had an answer to that question. The prophesied birth of a child born in Bethlehem of the house of David. 

So what child is this? The missionary who called the religious leaders of the time liars, hypocrites and extortionists. A controversial figure who had experienced suffering. 

Isaiah said "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities and with his stripes we are healed." That implies an atonement of sorts. 

As I have said the reality of Christ is historical. The divinity of Christ is personal. We all interpret his life and death how we choose yet denying his existence is like claiming the world is flat. It denies reality. Jesus was a Jew who taught people to do good. He confronted bad Jews and all evil because evil infiltrates everywhere. Jesus said beware of false prophets and wolves in sheep's clothing who will enter in from among you. 

This child symbolizes hope. Hope of a resurrection. Hope of the triumph of good over evil. Hope of redemption. Isaiah once said "the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." Opening of the prisons... freedom.

Weathering a Christmas Storm

 

Update: Christians in Gaza ‘We’re Still Here’ - Greed Kills

Vancouver has had a mild winter so far. Very warm and wet. Christmas Day a storm is in the forecast. We're supposed to get a lot of wind and rain. Which means the power could go out. That would suck on Christmas. Not being able to cook the turkey. Yet we sure won't freeze. Some places back east when the power goes out in winter seniors can freeze. That's why natural gas and natural gas generators are good.

A lot of people are struggling this Christmas so perhaps it would be timely to talk about weathering life's storms. We know a couple where both the husband and the wife work for Canada Post. Their Christmas sucks this year due to the strike.  

Being off work the month before Christmas when times are tough is lousy. We know someone who is spending this Christmas in a homeless shelter and they don't have a drug problem. That sucks. Mental health is a very sensitive issue. 

Sometimes we can get a clean bill of health yet keep repeating the same bad choices that consistently end up in the same place. That's hard on the whole family. 

A good friend of mine is a wealthy professional who just retired only to get divorced and have to go back to work. That sucks. Right when you're ready to retire and travel around the world. Plans change and legal fees quickly eat up hard earned savings. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. 

We've had our share of lousy Christmases in the past. This one is a lot better. Despite the tough times we have a lot to be grateful for. Yet it's been filled with hopes and hesitations. We're not as naive as we once were. I did hit burnout. After Martini Town it was like I ran into a brick wall. My Christmas bonus was gone and I was done with Christmas. Ready for the New Year. 

For me Christmas is usually just something I just want to make it through. I'm grateful when Christmas is over and look forward to the New Year. The New Year represents a fresh start and new hope. An anchor is often used as a symbol for hope. They say hope is an anchor to the soul during life's storms. 

I kind of see hope as a life preserver that helps you float. When times get tough, hope floats. Like the lotus that rises above the muddy water, hope helps us rise above tough times. 

Aside from stress, pressure and road rage, Christmas can also bring an outpouring of good will. With all the invasive panhandlers Christmas can present a dilemma about how to show kindness without promoting misery. The other day I saw an older lady give a panhandler some chocolate from the dollar store.  She had her husband with her and a smile on her face. She looked like a good mother who missed her children.

Back in the day panhandlers used to sit on the ground with a hat in the DTES and on Granville. They weren't aggressive they were passive. That's the difference between meth and heroin. Now they can be in your face aggressive walking to your car from the grocery store as though they're going to rob you. 

Today I saw a panhandler in the parking lot of Superstore. She just looked me in the eye and held back a grin. It was as though she was going to ask for money but already knew the answer. I don't carry cash with me. I always use debit.

That hymn a Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief came to mind. There was something in her eye that caught my attention. She reminded me of Janice Shore. So I bought some chocolate and gave it to her on the way out. It's Christmas Eve for f*ck's sake. Small acts of kindness can go a long way. 

It's important to find a balance. Some of the people from the new addictions centre can be very loud and rude. The police are always thankfully dialing them back. Yet for some they have nowhere else to go. That's the only socializing they get. 

I noticed they were getting some kind of food delivery today. I assume they're having some kind of dinner there on Christmas Day. That kind of thing is worth donating to or volunteering at. We can't do everything but it's important to do something.

Some people think Christian service is for a reward in heaven. That's not what it's for. When you perform an act of service you feel inner peace. Right away. That's your reward. 

US Pilots shot down over Red Sea by Friendly Fire

 

CTV is reporting that "Two U.S. Navy pilots were shot down Sunday over the Red Sea in an apparent 'friendly fire' incident, the U.S military said, marking the most serious incident to threaten troops in over a year of America targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels."

"Both pilots were recovered alive after ejecting from their stricken aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries. But the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become, with ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis despite U.S. and European military coalitions patrolling the area."

Yeah it's dangerous when the Americans shoot down their own planes.
