Cocaine Bricks stamped with YouTube Logo
The Vice is reporting that "Authorities in Uruguay recently seized 444 kilos of cocaine, of which several bricks were stamped with the YouTube logo. Other packages had stickers of the YouTube logo plastered on them. The cocaine was discovered in the central Tacuarembo department of the South American country, which has become a popular transshipment destination for cocaine heading to Europe and Africa." The Arabic writing reminds us of Major Charles McKee's investigation into the CIA's drug smuggling in Lebanon before he was killed.
FTX Cryptocurrency exchange files for bankruptcy
The Counter Signal is reporting that "The international cryptocurrency trading platform FTX that some Canadians use has filed for bankruptcy after halting withdrawals earlier this week."
"FTX filed for US bankruptcy proceedings on Friday and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried resigned. Leaked records indicate that significant funds were sent to Alameda Research, a cryptocurrency trading firm based in Hong Kong and founded by Bankman-Fried."
This was the new Hong Kong run by the Communist Party of China. Sam Bankman-Fried was a clown who played video games during conference calls and a big Democrat donor while the CEO of Alameda Research is a 28-year-old Harry Potter fan. Things that make ya go hmmm... Now I know nothing about cryptocurrency. That's more Dan Dick's thing. I don't even know what cryptocurrency is but I do know something about fraud and this looks a lot like a pump and dump. The Vancouver stock exchange was shut down because it was full of fake pump and dump stocks. Fake companies that rose and fell based on hype. FTX's collapse was tied to the CIA.
Update: Anyone Seen Tether’s Billions? The CIA was behind the BCCI Fraud.
CIA tools can fake cyberattack origins, blame Russia or China - WikiLeaks’ Vault 7
Alleged CIA hacking tools linked to 40 spying operations in 16 countries.
Symantec has connected WikiLeaks' dumped CIA files to a hacking team called Longhorn
Tether Limited is owned by the Hong Kong-based company iFinex Inc. It was created by the CIA.
"Bitfinex is a cryptocurrency exchange owned and operated by iFinex Inc registered in the British Virgin Islands. Their customers' money has been stolen or lost in several incidents, and they have been unable to secure normal banking relationships. Research suggests that price manipulation of bitcoin on Bitfinex accounted for about half of the price increase of bitcoin in late 2017."

Kash Heeds slams Brenda Locke
Update: Court certifies another class action against the RCMP
Perhaps the Surrey Police Force should simply join the BC Provincial Police Force.
The Indo Canadain Voice is reporting that "Mayor Brenda Locke is now getting increasingly desperate as she realizes that her plan to get rid of the Surrey Police Service (that was established after Doug McCallum won the 2018 municipal election on that mandate with 40 per cent of the total votes cast — as compared to the 28 per cent of the total votes cast for her in 2022 on her pledge to keep the RCMP in Surrey) is going NOWHERE!"
"On Friday, this naïve politician who is under the RCMP’s thumb exposed her pettiness and immaturity even further when she attacked former solicitor general Kash Heed (who is now a Councillor in Richmond) for exposing the futility of her RCMP mission on CKNW’s Mike Smyth show. After Heed’s comments on CKNW (see below for details), Locke sent the following message to Heed: 'Hey Kash, How about stay in your lane. If you are such a believer work for it in Richmond.' Boy, she messed with the wrong guy! Heed fired back:"
“Brenda, are you sure you want to send this as is to me? Police policy/opinion/expertise have been part of my background for over 40 years. Trying to suppress me has never worked for anyone and it certainly won’t work for you. Would you like to debate this with me publicly? Thanks Kash.” Locke thought she could bully Heed just as she and her RCMP supporters harassed then-mayor Doug McCallum and his supporters in Council day and night like rabid dogs."
"ON the Mike Smyth show, Heed pointed out the absurdity of trying to get rid of the Surrey Police Service (SPS), pointing out the mere 28 per cent mandate that Locke won (with just over 30 per cent of Surrey’s total electorate voting) and saying that hopefully the NDP government would be wise not to go back to the RCMP."
"As it is, he noted, the Province is looking at a regional policing model. He also noted that reversing the police transition would be very expensive and would tie down the City of Surrey in lawsuits for the next four years, resulting in CONFUSION and DIVISION. SPS officers do NOT want to join the RCMP (275 of 293 SPS frontline officers signed a pledge this week that they will not join the RCMP). Many SPS officers had retired from other police forces to join the SPS and so many officers had relocated to Surrey."
Brenda Locke is a clown. This cyber bullying confirms it. She did not have the support of the Indo Canadian community in Surrey or the Wake up Surrey coalition. I do not believe she received more votes than Jinny Sims or Doug McCallum. I believe the RCMP hacked the election just like Brazil did. They flipped the vote just enough for her to get in and for her unknown party to get the balance of power. Electronic voting is not secure. We need physical recounts of actual ballots.

Seymour Second Peak Inversion
Today was what U2 described as a Beautiful Day. This was my Beautiful Escape that Classified talked about. That guy is from Nova Scotia. That's pretty cool.
This is an album of pictures I took.
Usually when I just have my motorcycle on the road during winter I don't go snowshoeing until spring when it gets a little warmer but this year I don't want to miss the season. It's kind of a long ride up the mountain in the cold so I just bought some skidoo gloves. Today I put my ski pants on and plugged my vest in and enjoyed the ride up the mountain. It was a beautiful sunny day.
As soon as I crossed the Second Narrows bridge the Lions looked awesome covered in snow. You could see snow on the cut and the Peak on Grouse as well as the big windmill. I've seen that thing quite often whenever I go hiking and I have never seen it move in the wind. It sure can't be generating much electricity. I have no idea why. There's supposed to be wind up there. People parasail off the Peak in summer. Maybe they turned it off so no ravens or eagles would get hurt. Whatever the reason it stands as Vancouver's memorial to fake environmentalism.
I was surprised how much snow was on the mountain. It's a great early start to the season. This is the view of First Peak from Second Peak. The trail was well packed so I left the snowshoes at home and took the crampons. It's kind of hard to see but if you click on the picture and zoom in, you can see low clouds all the way from Vancouver to Vancouver Island. That's inversion. It usually lasts a few days. That's when you're above the clouds and during the day it's warmer on the mountain than in the city. I've been kinda struggling at work lately. I'm just not feeling it. I'm tempted to move to Airdrie like everyone else. Vancouver is so expensive. I know I'd miss the mountains but Banff and Lake Louise are awesome. Today I needed that Beautiful Escape. Makes me glad I'm still here.
Vancouver kind of feels like Anatevka in the Fiddler on the Roof. In the musical the narrator said that here in Anatevka you could say that everyone is like a fiddler on the roof. Trying to scratch out a pleasant simple tune without breaking his neck. You might ask, why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous. His answer was this is our home. How do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word. Tradition. Likewise Vancouver is my home. This is where I belong. It's like the song the Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. The fighter still remains so he does. He still remains. Oh and by the way, normally my bike is the only one you see in the parking lot on the mountain during winter. Well on my way down today I saw two guys parked in the lower parking lot on BMWs. Then a little further down I saw a guy riding up the mountain on a motorcycle with a snowboard attached to the side. That was freaking awesome. So I'm not the only one any more. Look at the screen shot of the windmill on Grouse mountain from their live feed. People are walking around but the turbine is not moving. Vancouver's monument to fake environmentalism.

Jonathan and Barbara Kay vindicated on ANTIFA hate
True North is reporting that "A recent ruling by an Ottawa small claims court states that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) did in fact assist the far-left extremist group Antifa.
The judgment was the result of a trial between journalists Jonathan Kay and Barbara Kay and CAHN Director Richard Warman. The evidence disclosed that CAHN did in fact assist Antifa and that the movement has been violent." The trial was about Jonathan and Barbara Kay's defense against a bogus defamation lawsuit. Telling the truth is not defamation. ANTIFA built the Berlin Wall.
Richard Warman attacked Tamara Lich, the Convoy and the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom. The Anti Hate Network: a front for Hate. Welcome to the CCP's New World Order.

Remembering the Berlin Wall
This Remembrance Day we need to revisit the real soldiers on the West side of the Berlin Wall. The ones who Justin Trudeau defile in word and deed. ANTIFA built the wall to keep the Western "Fascists" out. Only the West just fought the Fascists in the war. Communists call everyone who disagrees with them Fascists. The Berlin wall wasn't built to keep anyone out. It was built to keep anyone from escaping Communism. Lest we forget. The UN and the WHO are enslaving us.
The Fake news constantly misrepresents this by claiming it's a struggle between Capitalism and Socialism. That is a lie. That is not what this is about. This is about a struggle between freedom and slavery. That's it. Communism is the mother of all lies because the father of all lies is the author if it. When greedy Capitalist fund Communism it's not to share their wealth. It's to hijack the movement to increase their profit. The politicians in Communist China are the richest in the world. They don't share their wealth. The whole thing is one big lie. Well, actually many. It's not about Capitalism, it's about a free market. Corporate Communism obsess over Corporate monopolies. They are determined to destroy the free market and eliminate competition so they can charge whatever they want and make more profit. Greed kills.

Court certifies another class action against the RCMP
The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "The union representing members of the Surrey Police Service says 94 per cent of officers have “no intention” of joining the RCMP, despite a suggestion from Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke that they do just that. They left RCMP for a reason."
CBC is reporting that (Another) "national class-action lawsuit against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, alleging failure to provide a workplace free from bullying, intimidation, and harassment, has been certified by the Federal Court of Canada."
"Veteran Mounties Geoffrey Greenwood and Todd Gray, of Alberta, the representative plaintiffs, allege a culture of systemic bullying, intimidation and harassment permeated the organization from its highest levels and affected everyone who worked for the national force."
CBC is also reporting that "Sgt. Greenwood's troubles began in 2007 when he was based in Yellowknife, N.W.T. He was leading a major drug and money-laundering investigation across the North. According to the lawsuit, Greenwood was assigned to look into allegations from a woman arrested for money-laundering who alleged some RCMP officers were on the take."
It appears to be so bad you have to wonder if they'd go so far as to hack a local election.

Lunar Eclipse - Blood Moon
There's a bright full moon tonight peaking in and out of the clouds. It looks awesome. CTV is reporting that "Metro Vancouver's stargazers, early risers and night owls have a good chance of viewing a total lunar eclipse – dubbed the blood beaver moon – in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. CTV News Science and Technology Specialist Dan Riskin says the partial eclipse will be visible starting around 1 a.m. with the total eclipse occurring between 2:16 a.m. and 3:41 a.m."
CP 24 is reporting that "Ontarians might want to get up an hour earlier before work Tuesday morning if they want to catch a glimpse of the last total lunar eclipse for the next three years. Those who choose to take in the astronomical event will have the chance to see the 'blood moon', as Rogerson explained the Earth’s shadow against the moon will turn into a deep red, almost purpley colour. From like 5 to 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, if you look at the full moon, you’ll see it in partially or completely red.” According to NASA, the total lunar eclipse will start at 5:17 a.m. and end a few minutes before 6:45 a.m.”
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood." Acts 2:20 Well one out of two.

Policy Horizons Canada and the Great Reset
Kristel Van-der-Elst is reporting that "Policy Horizons Canada (Policy Horizons) is a strategic foresight organization within the Government of Canada with a mandate to help the Government develop future-oriented policy and programs that are more robust and resilient in the face of disruptive change on the horizon."
"The COVID-19 pandemic is proving to be a powerful driver of change. It is spurring biodigital innovations such as nearly real-time biosurveillance of virus spread and mutations; virus tracking via smartphone; and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine development at unprecedented speed. Biodigital convergence, the merging of biological systems and digital technologies, is challenging the way we understand ourselves and the world in which we live."

The Title of Liberty and fighting the good fight
Today I want to talk about the Title of Liberty and what the Apostle Paul described as fighting the good fight. The term comes from a biblical scripture found in Timothy 6:12. It became an old church hymn. A modern singer called Unspoken remixed it into a new song called Good fight. Eminem sang Till I Collapse. Now I'd like to put the concept into perspective.
We're also taught that contention is of the Devil. Christ himself appeared to give us a mixed message on the subject. In one breath Christ said turn the other check. In the next breath he said think not that I come to bring peace. I come not to bring peace but a sword. Then he said my peace I leave with you, not as the world giveth. Christ's peace comes from within. The answer to the apparent contradiction is found in Ecclesiastics. Everything has it's time and place. There's a time for war, a time for peace, a time to fight and a time to forgive. The Byrds also sang about it.
This brings us to a series of talks I recently discovered by a prominent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As many of you know I have served in the LDS Church in the past. I wasn't raised in that Church I was raised in the United Church of Canada. I've served in that church as well. I still believe in the creed of the United Church which pledges to seek justice and resist evil which I believe is a fundamental principle of the gospel.
I am no longer active in the LDS Church but I still share many of their beliefs. I had a conversation with a former Mormon who asked me why I was no longer active. I simply said it's complicated. Recently I had an interview with a local leader of the church that kind of went sideways and I rushed over to visit an old friend to smoothing things out.
My friend is a former Bishop who has served many years in the church and has recently retired. I have served with him for many years. I trust him. He is the executor of my will. He has also served many years with hospice and other organizations. I suppose that's why we got along so well. We shared a common belief in community service.
I said to my friend I want to be on good terms with the church like a former employer but not really. It's more than that. I had shared some concerns with the other leader and he abruptly said you don't know what you believe. You don't believe anything. Then he tried to make me sound like I was a bitter apostate and I was like no, no, that's not what I'm saying at all. I quickly regretted attending the meeting. Consequently I'm just doing my own thing so to speak.
Anyways, recently I came across some information on the Internet about the wife of the prophet, Wendy Watson Nelson. I looked at the name and thought Watson is an uncommon middle name. That's normally a surname. The wife of the prophet has a hyphenated surname? I know that's common in Central America but not so common in the LDS church.
Then I find out Watson is her maiden name and that she is a Canadian. She's from Alberta, I am not. Yet her story intrigued me. Turns out she marred President Nelson in 2006 when he was an apostle. Then I read that President Nelson was a widow and this is his second marriage.
I like President Nelson, he's a nice guy and a good man. He was a surgeon. I admire and respect that. I was a bit disappointed when he announced a new Temple was to be built in China. We all know about the atrocities of Xi Jinping. I have friends who are Falun Gong. They are peaceful Buddhists who are put in jail for their political beliefs then executed to order for their organs. It is an abomination. President Nelson was a heart surgeon. He would know about that.
I'll admit there's no way Ezra Taft Benson would have been able to get a Temple built in Communist China. He would not have been silent about their atrocities. When I expressed that concern to the other leader he said what are the members of the church in China supposed to do? Are they supposed to go without the Temple ordinances? No... I thought. I guess he's not necessarily condoning it and there rightfully should be a separation between church and state.
This brings us to his wife, Wendy Watson Nelson. I most certainly am not going to trash the wife of the prophet. I'm going to put some of her statements into perspective just like I did about some of Christ's statements earlier on. Sister Nelson has a wonderful story. Several actually.
She said when she was 24 she was engaged to be married. He was a really nice guy but as she was fasting and praying about it she felt in her heart something was amiss and broke off the engagement. Her family scolded her and said what, are you crazy? She said she just didn't feel right about it. So she went on to pursue her education and got a masters in psychology. Years later he contacted her. He had married a woman and had a family but changed his lifestyle and left them. I kinda get the feeling that he became Gay.
She said he expressed sorrow for hurting his wife with his decision. People are free to embrace whatever lifestyle they choose. Perhaps sister Nelson saw the writing on the wall when her family didn't. Perusing an education was time well spent.
There's another profound story about a picture she took of a Cheetah on an African safari with her husband. She wrote a book entitled Change Your Questions, Change Your Life. If you go to Amazon and click look inside you can find the picture and read the story behind it. It's intriguing.
Her and President Nelson were in an open land rover in Africa. She said note the rifle on the dash. This was no Disney safari. She said the guide gave them instructions on how to stay safe. He said don't stand up to take pictures and keep you arms and limbs in the vehicle at all times. She explained how a cheetah came up close to the vehicle and when it left President Nelson said I didn't like the way it was looking at you. That's the first thing I said when I saw the picture. There's a lot of strange things going on at LDS Universities right now and my interpretation of the analogy tied to the picture will be different than hers. She said that for her it represented that she was in danger but didn't recognize it at the time. I agree but I'm going to take it one step further. She still is. When I Googled her name I found an article the fake news ran about her which said After tension over her speaking, here’s what the wife of the LDS president told graduates at Utah Valley University. I was like, her controversial? Are you kidding me?
Her being controversial is somewhat unlikely. I on the other hand am very controversial. I'll own that but she is not. So I scroll down in the article to find out what was so controversial about her. Turns out she believes in the traditional family and the LDS Proclamation on the family. That's not controversial. That's her God given unalienable right.
Here we have the Salt Lake Tribune calling that controversial quoting a source that called that rhetoric. This is why many Mormons believe Salk Lake will become evil. They will break their covenants like the Nephites of old. Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with LGBT. I think non-binary are stupid and the use of the pronouns they and them is stupid but I agree that is their right. I think MAPS and pedophiles are evil but what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. The key words are consenting adults. Raping and brainwashing children is evil.
Jacob 5 is a history of the church. It's a parable about nourishing and pruning a vineyard. It cross references to the parable in Matthew 13:24-30. The Lord looked down upon the vineyard and saw the fruit had become corrupted and said Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard? The response in Mathew was an enemy hath done this. That was the title of one of Ezra Taft Benson's books. The parable in Mathew described wheat and tares or weeds. The Lord of the vineyard said where did these tares come from? The servant said an enemy had sown the tares among the good seed to corrupt the fruit of the vineyard. The servant asked if he should remove the tares but the Lord said no. The good seeds are too weak. If we take out the tares now, we'll damage the frail roots of the good seeds. Let them grow together until the harvest. Then we will separate the wheat from the tares. That principle is also explained in Doctrine and Covenants 86:1-7.
The State does not have the right to tell the Church what it can or cannot believe. The freedom of religion is protected by law. The United Church of Canada had a simple solution to the Gay marriage conundrum. They said allow Gay civil marriage and allow churches to perform Gay marriage if they elect to do so but don't force churches to perform Gay marriage if they disagree with it. That's fair. No one likes to have someone else's beliefs forced upon them.
People are going to do what they're going to do and if people want to be faithful to one partner we should support that. However, taking a church's non profit status away for disagreeing with Gay marriage is wrong. Yet the purpose of this post is not about that.
The purpose of this post is about some of the other comments sister Nelson has said about conflict and put them into perspective like I did with Christ's statements. Sister Nelson said everyone would be healthier if they let go of disagreements and contentions. OK that I agree with. We could all do with less conflict. However, we cannot embrace peace at any price. Like everything else, we need to find a balance. Everything has it's time and place.
Sometimes I find church psychologists can be a little bit on the jelly fish side. They say if there's no justice there will be no peace but they also say if you know justice you will know peace. This brings us back to the United Church creed which pledges to seek justice and resit evil. Martin Luther King taught that "Noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good." He also taught "the belief that God will do everything for man while he himself does nothing is not faith but superstition."
On that note, the Book of Mormon is a record of a fallen people. Actually two different civilizations that were wiped off the face of the earth because of their wickedness - the Nephites and the Jaradites. The Nephites had become oath breakers. They made an oath and broke it. God allowed their enemies to wipe them off the face of the earth just like he allowed Nebuchadnezzar to conquer the Jews and carry them away into Babylonian captivity. Pride cometh before the fall.
A large portion of the Book of Mormon is about wars. People fighting the good fight so to speak in defense of civil liberty. One famous character in the book is a soldier by the name of Captain Moroni. He was buff and courageous. He led his men like the Israelis. He wasn't a pencil pusher. He was on the front line and said to his men come follow me.
On one occasion, apostates within the church joined a WEF to turn everyone into slaves. Captain Moroni rent his coat and wrote a famous pledge on it called the Title of Liberty. Then he fastened it to a pole and waved it like a flag for everyone to see.
The sign said "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children." Everyone who was willing to fight for that cause entered into a covenant to do so. They were oath keepers and they prevailed against their enemies in defense of freedom. It was reminiscent of Moses and the Levites during the Exodus when Moses came down from Mount Sinai and saw the wickedness of the people. He declared who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me. And the Levites gathered and slew three thousand - oath breakers.
My point is, Jehovah Witnesses believe in peace at any price. I do not. Joseph Smith once said "Any man who will not fight for his wife and children is a coward. One thing uglier than war is cowardice and the refusal to stand for one's loved ones in the breech." I agree with Jospeh.
There's another heart warming story tied to this Captain Moroni. On another occasion he was waging war against his enemies and had prevailed against them. His enemies had surrendered their weapons of war and Captain Moroni said Alright, I want you to depart and make a covenant of peace. I want you to swear an oath that you will never return to enslave us.
His enemy said we will leave but we will make no such covenant. We will be back. Upon hearing that Captain Moroni returned all their weapons of war and declared "Behold, we shall end the conflict." That was freaking awesome. It reminds me of the New Zealand All Black's Haka and my current conflict. One of the original Hakas from the All Blacks dates back to a time when their ancestors were in battle with an overwhelming army.
Their leader looked at the size of the army they faced and declared we're going to die! His warriors looked at the same army and said, We're going to live! The leader looked at the army again, shook his head and said, we're going to die! Again his warriors said We're going to live! Then together they renewed their resolve, live or die, we will fight. That is my pledge to you and that is my pledge to Scott Dawson. Behold, we shall end the conflict. Gag me with a spoon yo.
We're also taught that contention is of the Devil. Christ himself appeared to give us a mixed message on the subject. In one breath Christ said turn the other check. In the next breath he said think not that I come to bring peace. I come not to bring peace but a sword. Then he said my peace I leave with you, not as the world giveth. Christ's peace comes from within. The answer to the apparent contradiction is found in Ecclesiastics. Everything has it's time and place. There's a time for war, a time for peace, a time to fight and a time to forgive. The Byrds also sang about it.
This brings us to a series of talks I recently discovered by a prominent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As many of you know I have served in the LDS Church in the past. I wasn't raised in that Church I was raised in the United Church of Canada. I've served in that church as well. I still believe in the creed of the United Church which pledges to seek justice and resist evil which I believe is a fundamental principle of the gospel.
I am no longer active in the LDS Church but I still share many of their beliefs. I had a conversation with a former Mormon who asked me why I was no longer active. I simply said it's complicated. Recently I had an interview with a local leader of the church that kind of went sideways and I rushed over to visit an old friend to smoothing things out.
My friend is a former Bishop who has served many years in the church and has recently retired. I have served with him for many years. I trust him. He is the executor of my will. He has also served many years with hospice and other organizations. I suppose that's why we got along so well. We shared a common belief in community service.
I said to my friend I want to be on good terms with the church like a former employer but not really. It's more than that. I had shared some concerns with the other leader and he abruptly said you don't know what you believe. You don't believe anything. Then he tried to make me sound like I was a bitter apostate and I was like no, no, that's not what I'm saying at all. I quickly regretted attending the meeting. Consequently I'm just doing my own thing so to speak.
Anyways, recently I came across some information on the Internet about the wife of the prophet, Wendy Watson Nelson. I looked at the name and thought Watson is an uncommon middle name. That's normally a surname. The wife of the prophet has a hyphenated surname? I know that's common in Central America but not so common in the LDS church.
Then I find out Watson is her maiden name and that she is a Canadian. She's from Alberta, I am not. Yet her story intrigued me. Turns out she marred President Nelson in 2006 when he was an apostle. Then I read that President Nelson was a widow and this is his second marriage.
I like President Nelson, he's a nice guy and a good man. He was a surgeon. I admire and respect that. I was a bit disappointed when he announced a new Temple was to be built in China. We all know about the atrocities of Xi Jinping. I have friends who are Falun Gong. They are peaceful Buddhists who are put in jail for their political beliefs then executed to order for their organs. It is an abomination. President Nelson was a heart surgeon. He would know about that.
I'll admit there's no way Ezra Taft Benson would have been able to get a Temple built in Communist China. He would not have been silent about their atrocities. When I expressed that concern to the other leader he said what are the members of the church in China supposed to do? Are they supposed to go without the Temple ordinances? No... I thought. I guess he's not necessarily condoning it and there rightfully should be a separation between church and state.
This brings us to his wife, Wendy Watson Nelson. I most certainly am not going to trash the wife of the prophet. I'm going to put some of her statements into perspective just like I did about some of Christ's statements earlier on. Sister Nelson has a wonderful story. Several actually.
She said when she was 24 she was engaged to be married. He was a really nice guy but as she was fasting and praying about it she felt in her heart something was amiss and broke off the engagement. Her family scolded her and said what, are you crazy? She said she just didn't feel right about it. So she went on to pursue her education and got a masters in psychology. Years later he contacted her. He had married a woman and had a family but changed his lifestyle and left them. I kinda get the feeling that he became Gay.
She said he expressed sorrow for hurting his wife with his decision. People are free to embrace whatever lifestyle they choose. Perhaps sister Nelson saw the writing on the wall when her family didn't. Perusing an education was time well spent.
There's another profound story about a picture she took of a Cheetah on an African safari with her husband. She wrote a book entitled Change Your Questions, Change Your Life. If you go to Amazon and click look inside you can find the picture and read the story behind it. It's intriguing.
Her and President Nelson were in an open land rover in Africa. She said note the rifle on the dash. This was no Disney safari. She said the guide gave them instructions on how to stay safe. He said don't stand up to take pictures and keep you arms and limbs in the vehicle at all times. She explained how a cheetah came up close to the vehicle and when it left President Nelson said I didn't like the way it was looking at you. That's the first thing I said when I saw the picture. There's a lot of strange things going on at LDS Universities right now and my interpretation of the analogy tied to the picture will be different than hers. She said that for her it represented that she was in danger but didn't recognize it at the time. I agree but I'm going to take it one step further. She still is. When I Googled her name I found an article the fake news ran about her which said After tension over her speaking, here’s what the wife of the LDS president told graduates at Utah Valley University. I was like, her controversial? Are you kidding me?
Her being controversial is somewhat unlikely. I on the other hand am very controversial. I'll own that but she is not. So I scroll down in the article to find out what was so controversial about her. Turns out she believes in the traditional family and the LDS Proclamation on the family. That's not controversial. That's her God given unalienable right.
Here we have the Salt Lake Tribune calling that controversial quoting a source that called that rhetoric. This is why many Mormons believe Salk Lake will become evil. They will break their covenants like the Nephites of old. Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with LGBT. I think non-binary are stupid and the use of the pronouns they and them is stupid but I agree that is their right. I think MAPS and pedophiles are evil but what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. The key words are consenting adults. Raping and brainwashing children is evil.
Jacob 5 is a history of the church. It's a parable about nourishing and pruning a vineyard. It cross references to the parable in Matthew 13:24-30. The Lord looked down upon the vineyard and saw the fruit had become corrupted and said Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard? The response in Mathew was an enemy hath done this. That was the title of one of Ezra Taft Benson's books. The parable in Mathew described wheat and tares or weeds. The Lord of the vineyard said where did these tares come from? The servant said an enemy had sown the tares among the good seed to corrupt the fruit of the vineyard. The servant asked if he should remove the tares but the Lord said no. The good seeds are too weak. If we take out the tares now, we'll damage the frail roots of the good seeds. Let them grow together until the harvest. Then we will separate the wheat from the tares. That principle is also explained in Doctrine and Covenants 86:1-7.
The State does not have the right to tell the Church what it can or cannot believe. The freedom of religion is protected by law. The United Church of Canada had a simple solution to the Gay marriage conundrum. They said allow Gay civil marriage and allow churches to perform Gay marriage if they elect to do so but don't force churches to perform Gay marriage if they disagree with it. That's fair. No one likes to have someone else's beliefs forced upon them.
People are going to do what they're going to do and if people want to be faithful to one partner we should support that. However, taking a church's non profit status away for disagreeing with Gay marriage is wrong. Yet the purpose of this post is not about that.
The purpose of this post is about some of the other comments sister Nelson has said about conflict and put them into perspective like I did with Christ's statements. Sister Nelson said everyone would be healthier if they let go of disagreements and contentions. OK that I agree with. We could all do with less conflict. However, we cannot embrace peace at any price. Like everything else, we need to find a balance. Everything has it's time and place.
Sometimes I find church psychologists can be a little bit on the jelly fish side. They say if there's no justice there will be no peace but they also say if you know justice you will know peace. This brings us back to the United Church creed which pledges to seek justice and resit evil. Martin Luther King taught that "Noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good." He also taught "the belief that God will do everything for man while he himself does nothing is not faith but superstition."

Pakistan's former Prime Minister shot during protest
CTV is reporting that "Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan said Friday he was pausing his march on the capital, Islamabad, a day a gunman opened fire on his campaign convoy, wounding him and killing one of his supporters. Thirteen other people were also hurt in the attack.
"Khan spoke to reporters late on Friday - his first public remarks since the shooting - and pledged that he will resume his protest once he has recovered from the bullet wound. The bullet hit him in the right leg, above the ankle."
"Khan accused Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan and army Gen. Faisal Naseer working for the Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency of orchestrating the shooting." Pakistan's Intelligence spy agency is tied to the CIA.
Is CIA behind regime change in Pakistan? "Dr Shahbaz Gill is now of the opinion that the US and allies want PM Imran Khan removed because his policies are against their regional and global interests." He supported better relations and trade with Moscow during the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
Sarkozy's involvement with the Karachi affair in Pakistan isn't just about Sarkozy getting kickbacks from an arms deal. It's about Sarkozy being involved with murder under the guise of a terrorist act when those kickbacks were stopped. That is what we need to remember.
Once again we see the CIA supporting Islamic extremism to promote Globalism.

Fatal shooting in Melville, Saskatchewan
CTV is reporitng that "RCMP have identified the victim of a homicide in Melville on Wednesday morning.
The victim, 26-year-old Tristan William Hughes-Nyszczuk, from Sherwood Park, Alta, was found dead at a motel by police who were responding to reports of gunshots."
"Another man whose name has not been released suffered life-threatening injuries, according to police." Two suspects remain unfound. Sounds like Melville is a small town not used to gun violence. This is what happens when the drug trade from the larger cities moves into smaller communities. The drug trade brings crime and violence along with it. The victim was executed in the car beside this one. Those bullet holes in the picture below are exiting the target vehicle.

Fist snowfall on the local mountains
I rode out to Cypress mountain today and tried out my snowshoes. I was watching the web cam. Wednesday night they had about 6 inches of snow and by Thursday morning they had a foot. Friday was mixed snow and rain but it's a nice early start to the season. They're still working on Sky Chair. This was the view from their web cam early Thursday morning.
