Christmas Trolls and the MAGA Civil War

Krampus at the German Christmas Market in Vancouver

We went to see Krampus at the German Christmas market tonight. It was a lot of fun. In Germany, in addition to Santa they also have Krampus, a troll that beats the bad kids. This was the first year I actually saw them IRL. 

Everyone wanted pictures but tonight was the only night they were there.

You do need to buy your tickets online before you arrive. The line up to buy tickets can get pretty horrendous when it gets busy. There are lots of hand made crafts but we usually just go for the food. I got the goulash in a bread bowl and a dark German beer. First time I had any alcohol since my hip surgery. 

My daughter got the mulled wine in a collectors glass. I tried that one year and it was horrible. Sugary red wine. I couldn't drink it. Yet I had a sip of hers and it wasn't that bad. It wasn't so sickly sweet and it had a bit of body to it. I still prefer the dark beer.

Some of our favorite food booths weren't there but they had some new ones. We couldn't find the spaetzle. I can make my own but it's always nice to see it there. The ham hock is awesome.

They did have schnitzels but we couldn't see the deep fried Hungarian dough with sour cream and toppings. That was a favorite. I did see a kebab booth. That's new as well as a squid booth. Lots of tasty calamari. It was a nice beginning to a quiet Christmas. Everything's expensive now but season passes on the venues you select are a better value. We might do Grouse this year since the Sea to Sky gondola is the same price now. Bear Creek has free lights.

I didn't see the chocolate fondue this year. In previous years there always used to be a massive multi tier chocolate fountain they would dip fruit in. Maybe more venders will join in December. Apparently this is the 15th year of the German Christmas market in Vancouver. 

My daughter asked me if we were there when it started in 2010. I said probably. If not the first one the second one. We started going as soon as we heard about it. Looking at the archives we were there in 2011 and 2012. In 2017 I had the same goulash and dark beer. Not a whole lot has changed. It's a nice tradition. 

Edmonton extortion scheme linked to Brother's Keepers

Just so we remember, June 2025 CBC reported that "An extortion scheme that targeted South Asian homebuilders in Edmonton is linked to the B.C.-based gang Brothers Keepers, court records obtained by CBC News show."

The murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Ripudaman Malik was tried to the Edmonton Brother's Keepers. Ripudaman Malik was tied to CSIS through Air India. BK were contracted out.

The number of recent South Asian extortion shootings lately in Surrey have been off the hook. They obviously want attention and I don't want to give them that. The recent filming of a south Surrey shooting looked very similar to other local shootings tied to CSIS and to India's Intelligence Agency. 

I saw one post where a local radio host said if this many shootings happened in mainstream community there would be curfews and military on the streets. That is not what we want. That is what CSIS and the UN's New World Order wants. 

Another article claims that MI6 wiretaps link the government of India to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. That sounds an awful lot like the CSIS wiretaps during Air India. CSIS orchestrated Air India just like they orchestrated the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar which they contracted out to the Brother's Keeps for the government of India. 

Just like the CIA orchestrated the assassination plot of a Khalistan activist in New York which was tied to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. It was a sting operation the CIA orchestrated. Just like the ones in Canada.

I saw another post which asks "How did the RCMP commissioner go from saying Indian diplomats were tied to extortions and the murder of Canadians to saying we need better relations with India—all in one year? What changed?"

The current government of India is bad. So is CSIS.

Ripudamin Singh Malik did not make the Air India bomb. CSIS supplied the bomb through their mole Surjan Singh Gill.

Trump turning his back on Marjorie Taylor Greene and taking Lindsey Grahams side is the ultimate betrayal of his base

The Bill Clinton Video was AI. These gay accusations are ridiculous. The Epstein files are under age girls. 

Alexis Wilkins and Mossad

I'm having a bit of trouble connecting the dots on this one. We all know Kash Patel is an idiot blatantly lying about the 30-06 but how on earth is his younger girlfriend connected to Mossad? How? I can't see it. Does that make this another circus side show or am I missing something?

She's very pretty. She's a lot younger than him. He's not that ugly. He's fit. She claims she's not Jewish and she's never been to Israel. It appears that she is of Indian ancestry and was raised a Christian born in the US of A. She has nice jeans.

She's a country singer. I'm not really into country but she doesn't sound that bad. She's actually pretty good. That doesn't change anything because Kash Patel is lying about the 30-06, Donald Trump is in bed with Netanyahu and Mossad killed Charlie Kirk. I just really think this obsession over Alexis is another circus side show planted to distract us from the obvious. QAnon2.

Never had high hopes for Pam Bondi but Kash and Bongino have really let us down

A distorted view of Christianity, Region and the World

Yesterday a Born Again church delivered a small calendar to all the units in my complex. At first I thought this is really nice. Each month had nice pictures of nature along with a Bible verse. 

 

Then I read through each month and found a common theme. They all basically said believe in Jesus and you're saved. It was a very specific and in my opinion distorted view of Christianity.

 

Yes there are many scriptures that say that. James clarified that faith without works is dead. Paul said although I speak with the tongues of men and angels, if I have not love, I am nothing. 

John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus, repeatedly said repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Jesus said the same thing. Jesus taught us to do good and be good. 

He said as ye sow so shall ye reap. He spelled it out and said do unto others are ye would have done unto you for this is the law and the prophets. That is the golden rule that binds all religions together. However, in life it's pretty easy to get a distorted view of Christianity and of any religion.

Christ chased the money changers out of the Temple. Twice. He called the religious leaders of the time liars, hypocrites, extortionists and children of the Devil. That's because they all taught a distorted view of religion. 

The purpose of the church is to give us opportunities to serve. Yet we don't need a church to serve in our community. Christ's parable of the sheep and goats emphasized how important service is. What we say isn't as important as what we do.

Martin Luther King said "anyone can be great because anybody can serve. Life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?" Yet in our economy most of us are just struggling to make ends meet.

This is where Buddhism comes in. "If you can, help others. If you can't help them, do no harm to them." There is a whole lot of harm and exploitation done in the drug world. If you can't help them, do no harm to them. Promoting addiction is doing harm.

Someone recently sent me a video of a Buddhist monastery in the mountains of Vietnam. I looked at the statue and said wait a minute. Who is that? It looks like Buddha but he's fit. 

They said yeah, in India and Vietnam they made Buddha fit. In China they make him fat. I did not know that. 

I like Buddhism because it ties in with Zen and brings me back to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Buddha was a rich kid who left his ivory tower to see suffering in the world. Thus the term the compassion of Buddha. Compassion is the soul of society. Without it we are heartless and soulless. 

That brings us to a distorted view of the world. Martin Luther King said I've seen too much hate to want to hate and every time I see it I say to myself hate is too great a burgeon to bear. Indeed it is. Hate is toxic and unhealthy. The world is full of good and evil. What will we dwell on? The good or the evil?

Lao Tzu said it is better to light one candle than curse all the darkness. This is true. Take it from a guy who has cursed a lot of darkness. This life is a test. We will be judged on what we do in life. I've heard it said that men are that they might have joy. Meaning the purpose of life is to find happiness and peace of mind. The problem is, wickedness never was happiness. 

There is no joy in evil. Alan Watts said the literal translation of the Greek word sin means to miss the mark like an archer misses his target. If our purpose in life is to find happiness, to sin would be to miss that mark. Yet there's more to it than that.

The soldiers who suffered great hardships in the trenches weren't happy. They weren't having fun. Yet the character they developed is something they take with them after the grave. Sacrifice is an important principle in life. 

Christ said blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. Life does not end at death. Justice will not sleep forever. It's our duty to do what we can because that is what we will be judged on. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. 

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. Whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world." You just have to turn off the noise to see it. 

Erik Prince and the Congo Cobalt Scam

Speaking of Erik Prince of Darkness, Mining.com is reporting that "Former Blackwater chief executive officer and Donald Trump supporter, Erik Prince, will lead a team helping the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) secure and tax its extensive mineral wealth, according to a report from Reuters."

Let's put that in perspective. M23, a mercenary army from Rwanda armed and supported by Mossad invaded Congo's cobalt mines. This was shortly after the former director of Mossad was kicked out of the Congo for planning a coup. The key point here is look at what the private military contractors did as soon as they were faced with M23. They surrendered without a fight in exchange for safe passage. 

They resigned without a fight and were rewarded with safe passage. They were hired to protect the cobalt mines and as soon as those mines were challenged they surrendered without a fight. The moment I saw that I said that looked strange. 

September 2025 Africa Intelligence reported that "During his stay in New York, the Congolese president met with the head of Frontier Services Group to discuss the possible extension of his contract." They met with Erik Prince who is the head of  Frontier Services Group to discuss the extension of his contract. 

"Frontier Services Group (FSG) is a Hong Kong-based, partially state-owned Chinese company that provides integrated security, logistics, aviation, and insurance services, primarily to clients operating in Africa and other frontier markets. Founded by Erik Prince." Hong Kong-based, partially state-owned Chinese company. Let's back that up a bit. 

Erik Prince founded Blackwater, a mercenary army that ran into trouble in Iraq that faced allegations of arms dealing and drug trafficking. Every time he was sued or faced criminal charges he left the country and changed the name of his mercenary army. 

First he wanted to create a mercenary army to launch a new crusade against Muslims. When we told him to go f*ck himself he launched a Muslim mercenary army in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Then he launched a private mercenary army for Communist China. Mercenaries do what mercenaries do. 

Erik Prince is also Donald Trump's buddy trying to weasel his way back into the US market. That's kind of a conflict of interest given his other employers. So is he working from Trump or China in Congo? You tell me. It's all really shady.

All these mercenary groups are tied to each other and are tied to the CIA who are tied to Mossad. They support Corporate Communism not civil liberty or a Constitutional Republic. 

Blood Diamonds and Cobalt Mercenaries in Congo

"The Democratic Republic of the Congo is reportedly the richest country in minerals on the planet earth. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), it is estimated that the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) holds natural resources valued at approximately US$24 trillion. And yet, the more than 110 million Congolese people are among the poorest in the world."

A whole lot of crazy coming from new Epstein files

Republicans voting no to release the Epstein files? WTF? Trump punishing Republicans for voting yes? That guy has lost his mind. He has too many gold statues of himself. 

They are blackmailing President Donald Trump in broad daylight.
The slow release of the e-mails is intentional. Now he will give them whatever they want.

For those who struggle with context clues, THEY=Israel, who Jeffrey Epstein worked for.

This is how our nation is run.
