Iraq warns of collapse if Trump blocks oil cash



AFP is reporting that "Iraqi officials fear economic "collapse" if Washington imposes threatened sanctions, including blocking access to a US-based account where Baghdad keeps oil revenues that feed 90 percent of the national budget. US President Donald Trump was outraged by the Iraqi parliament voting on January 5 to oust foreign forces, including some 5,200 American troops, who have helped local soldiers beat back jihadists since 2014. If troops were asked to leave, he threatened, "we will charge them sanctions like they've never seen before."

Why would the Americans block Iraq's oil cash? That is extortion. Donald Trump is not the Messiah. He is the devil. The invasion of Iraq and the hostilities with Iran are solely about oil. When it comes to social justice here, we are on the wrong side.

Executing political prisoners in China to make money from organ harvesting doesn't seem to bother anyone but when a Chinese cell phone competitor competes with an American firm to sell cell phones to Iran, then all hell breaks loose.

It's like the Americans threatening sanctions against Germany and Russia for reducing coal pollution by twinning a natural gas pipeline. Wars and sanctions are supposed to be based on moral principles not corporate greed. It's the same thing in Syria.

The Americans created and funded ISIS to justify military intervention in Syria so they could block the pipeline from Iran to Syria over their pipeline from Quatar who were also arming ISIS. That is why Turkey invaded Syria - to block the competing pipeline.



The Americans created the tensions with Iran by intentionally executing their general responsible for defeating ISIS. The accidental downing of the Iranian airliner full of Iranians was the result of Donald Trumps satanic threat to respond with a disproportionate terrorist strike against holy sites in Iran. Donald Trump is the root cause and shares legal liability for the airliner disaster. Justin Trudeau said Iran plane victims would be alive had there been no regional tensions and that is absolutely true. Sue Trump. Money is the only thing he understands.

Donald Trump's threat to block Iraq's access to its own oil revenues shows us why our banks need to be separate from the American banks. Corporate monopolies are bad and this is the perfect example. Perhaps Iraq will have to use Iran's banking system now.

Rupert Murdoch misrepresents Australia’s fires



Quartz is reporting that "Rupert Murdoch’s Australian outlets have committed all manner of sins in their coverage of the country’s devastating bushfires, critics say." The Insider is reporting that Rupert Murdoch's misleading bushfire coverage has been amplified by trolls and bots. Even the New York Times is reporting that Rupert Murdoch is Influencing Australia’s Bushfire Debate by protecting conservative leaders. This reinforces my point that Rupert Murdoch's media empire is biased and seeks to mold public opinion instead of reporting news honestly.

Locally, Cypress mountain, who has had a long history of patrons and employees visiting from Australia, are raising funds for those affected by the bush fires. Cypress Mountain has pledged to match donations up to $10,000.00. You can donate $5.00 increments on their web site.

West Belfast shooting, East Belfast arson



The Belfast Telegraph is reporting that "The PSNI is investigating a shooting in west Belfast on Monday evening. It's believed a man was shot in the knee and foot during the incident on Burnaby Walk off the Grosvenor Road shortly before 6pm. The ambulance service was not called and the man was driven to hospital in a car, where he's being treated." Shot in the knee in West Belfast... well, well, well, that certainly brings back memories.

West Belfast is Catholic run by the IRA while East Belfast is Protestant run by the UDA.

The Irish News is reporting that "Police are treating a fire at a block of flats in the outskirts of east Belfast as arson. Two men and two women were rescued from the blaze at the property at Rosneath Gardens in the Ballybeen area on Sunday night. The front door of the property was sprayed with flammable liquid and set on fire at 9.40pm." Getting burned out of your home in East Belfast, that certainly brings back memories. I thought those days were long gone. Evidently not.

Bigotry in the Vancouver Sun



Last September the Vancouver Sun ran an obscene piece of bigotry written by Calgary college instructor Mark Hecht claiming that diversity harms a country's social trust and economic prosperity. The guy is a f*cking Nazi.

CBC reported that "An op-ed published by a Calgary instructor in two Vancouver newspapers is being widely condemned for saying Canada would be better off without ethnic diversity." The Sun later issued an apology for publishing the article.

Nevertheless, several concerns arise. The Tyee reported "That Sun Column Was No Outlier. Postmedia Has Embraced Dishonest, Dangerous Propaganda. Journalism is essential to a functioning democracy, and it’s falling apart." This is very true.

There are two issues on the table. The first is diversity. The second is biased news reporting. Mark Hecht is not First Nations so by his own definition his presence in Canada is damaging the nation's social trust. He needs some time with Dr Phil. He should not be a University professor teaching students anything let alone promoting Fascism across the country.

Diversity is the foundation of a democratic society and the framework of the Canadian Charter of Rights. There is no place for bigotry in Canada. We are better than that.

The British Tabloids are all owned by Rupert Murdoch who has admitted extreme bias in his newspapers. When he promoted Tony Blair, all his newspapers would print articles promoting Blair and nothing opposing him. When Murdoch changed endorsements the same thing would happen. His newspapers didn't report the news and open debate. They promoted propaganda designed to mold public opinion. Huxley warned us about this in his novel Brave New World.

The same thing with Post Media Trash. Post Media News promoted the LRT in Surrey and the RCMP over a municipal police force. The voters disagreed. After the election Post Media Trash continued a barrage of articles promoting LRT and the RCMP. That isn't news it is sheer propaganda and it certainly isn't in the public's best interest.

The Tyee reported that "After an op-ed calling for Canada to abandon diversity and tolerance provoked outrage, Vancouver Sun and Province editor-in-chief Harold Munro published an apology Saturday, addressed staff on Monday, and issued a memo with proposed fixes to the system on Wednesday. If he thought that would calm his newsroom, he was wrong."

"The offending opinion piece, by Calgary college instructor Mark Hecht, argued Canada should say goodbye to diversity, tolerance and inclusion or risk unraveling as a society. It cited discredited reports by an anti-Muslim think tank. The piece reportedly was greenlighted by Sun and Province editorial pages editor Gordon Clark without Munro’s sign-off. Almost as soon as it was published, many Sun and Province journalists condemned it on social media."

This isn't the first time Harold Munro folded like a cheap tent. He approved articles confronting Peter leaks's judicial incompetence then pulled the article while Gordon Clark, who is married to a BC Court Judge, launched an attack on Tim Petruk for criticizing Peter Leask's incompetence.

It comes as no surprise that it was Gordon Clark who approved the article promoting bigotry in the Vancouver Sun since he claims we are letting in too many people into Canada. As our birthrate is so low in Canada we need immigration to survive. Diversity makes us strong.

A Prayer for Peace



True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice.” Martin Luther King

I still don't believe Iran shot down the passenger jet even by accident. If it was flying from the Ukraine to Terran maybe but it wasn't. It was flying from Terran to the Ukraine. Their story doesn't make sense. This is yet another case of justice denied. Stop the oil wars. Find some self respect.

The 9/11 terrorists didn't come in from Iran, they came in from Saudi Arabia AFTER the CIA overruled their passport denial. Canada and the US are arms dealing with Saudi Arabia who in turn arm ISIS. Calling for a regime change in Iran but not Saudi Arabia is sheer hypocrisy and is strictly about taking over their oil which has absolutely nothing to do with social justice.

Egypt is asking for foreign investment in their oil. Leave Iran alone.

Meng Wanzhou will be extradited



AFP is reporting that "Canada's Department of Justice said a Huawei executive arrested in Vancouver could be extradited to the United States, because her offense is a crime in both countries, according to documents released Friday. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who was originally detained on a US warrant in late 2018, faces an extradition hearing in Vancouver that begins on January 20. The United States accuses Meng of lying to banks about violating Iran sanctions." This is a sad day for justice.

No one cares about Communist China's political prisoners that are tortured and murdered for organ harvesting. Instead the United States and Canada only care about a cell phone rival as Corporate Communism sweeps the globe.

After Donald Trump pulled out of the United States agreement to sell Iran nuclear reactors, England continued with that agreement. So selling Iran nuclear reactors is OK but selling them cell phones is not if you are a competitor of an American cell phone company. This is like Sanctions against Russia and Germany for saving the planet and twinning a natural gas pipeline to help Germany reduce coal pollution. We have lost our moral compass.

Harry & Megan's Megxit



I don't follow the royal families much because I have a life and they deserve one. I've stated my position on the royal family quite clearly. Moses said the sceptre shall not depart from Judah. Even Muslims believe Moses. I will however point out that the British tabloids are trash.



I worked in London for a while as a chef many years ago. The British tabloids are exactly that - tabloids. They are gossip trash like the National Enquirer. Anything to sell a paper. The Murdoch files were caught wiretapping the royal family's phones. That isn't just illegal, that is treason. It is an offense against the crown. Who do you think was tapping the royal families phones for the British tabloids? It was MI6. They are behind the biased propaganda of the Murdoch tabloids.

When I was in London I noticed that on page three of the Sun they always had a new picture of their sunshine girl. A woman topless. I kinda raised my eyebrow and said this is a newspaper? How am I supposed to take their "news" reporting seriously. I don't remember seeing that in Ireland. The Belfast Telegraph had a lot more class and credibility. They reported news.

I will declare that the front page coverage of Harry & Megan on the New York Post was tasteless, disrespectful and offensive. What in God's name has happened to the credibility of the New York Post?! Oh, I see. Rupert Murdoch bought it in 1976. Everything he touches turns to sh*t.

I'm not going to comment on the Megxit "scandal" much. I will however say this: Harry & Megan, William & Kate, Charles & Camela, the Queen and Philip are all noble. I'm not referring to a meaningless title bestowed upon them by some rich yuppie. I'm talking about the nobility of their character. They all have it. They have class, dignity and integrity. Each jewel shines in it's own light. Diana is of course the Queen of Hearts. She is and was a true saint.

The Queen did not kill Diana. The paparazzi did. They were in a car racing through a tunnel trying to`get away from the paparazzi. They got in a car accident and tragically, Dianna wasn't wearing her seat belt. Now everyone wears a seat belt. Back then, not so much. They didn't have seat belt laws and back then it just wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately in this case it was. It was a fatal car crash that took the life of the best thing that ever happened to the royal family.

This is why I don't buy tabloids. Tabloids killed Diana. When I see the recent barrage of headlines about Harry and Megan, who wouldn't want to get away from that? I am told that the tabloids and social media have been disrespectful toward Megan Markle. AYFKM? Megan is gorgeous but more importantly, she is a beautiful person. That is what life is all about.

Trevor Noah from the daily had a humorous commentary about Megxit. Members of the royal family want to step back from the spotlight and become financially independent. What in God's name is wrong with that? We should be applauding their nobility not trashing their family. Diana was very protective of her sons against the media. Why shouldn't Harry and Megan do the same for Diana's grandchild? Have a little respect for God's sake. Let them have a life. They deserve it.



Queen agrees to let Harry, Meghan move part-time to Canada

They are welcome here. Let them have their privacy. They are noble.

In contrast, the Belfast Telegraph is reporting that "The Queen has issued a statement in support of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the crisis summit saying the royal family respect and understand their desire for a new life."

The Belfast Telegraph has class. Rupert Murdoch does not.

B.C. charter turns down paparazzi seeking photos of Harry and Meghan’s residence

Meghan Markle visits women's shelter on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Surrey shooting between cars



CTV is reporting that "A report of shots fired near Guildford Town Centre in Surrey triggered a large police presence near the mall on Thursday evening. Mounties closed 96 Avenue between Green Timbers Way and 150th Street as they conducted their investigation. Surrey RCMP told CTV News that witnesses called police around 5:30 p.m. to say one car was chasing another, and it appeared that the two cars may have been exchanging gunfire." Green Timbers Way is a short street with the RCMP Headquarters on it.

Global is reporting that there was a police incident in North Vancouver Friday afternoon.

Iran did not intentionally shoot down a Passenger plane of it's own citizens - Rocket's Red Glare Update



I want to clarify the obvious. Iran did not intentionally shoot down a passenger plane of it's own citizens. That did not happen. After the United States killed the Iranian general responsible for defeating ISIS in Iraq, Iran said they would retaliate by hitting a military target which they did. Donald Trump was the one that threatened a terrorist strike. Iran did not. It is remotely possible that while Iran launched missiles at a military target, a passenger plane flew in the trajectory of those missiles. That is remotely possible but I don't believe that is what happened. I believe something much more sinister is at play.

"The plane was bound for Kiev and many on board had a connecting flight to Toronto, Canada's largest city and a transit hub. Of those passengers, 63 were Canadians citizens. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that, all told, 138 people on that flight were en route to Canada."

"In total, 82 Iranians and 63 Canadians were on board the Kyiv-bound Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) Flight PS752, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said. There were also 11 victims - including nine crew members - from Ukraine, four Afghans, four Britons and three Germans. Iran's head of emergency operations said 147 of the victims were Iranian, which suggests many of the foreign nationals held dual nationality." The majority of the Canadians on board were of Iranian descent. Iran did not shoot down a plane load of it's own citizens.

I will declare that this is a complete tragedy. Worst case scenario it was a horrible accident.

Q is calling for a regime change in Iran. What is this 1953? Q has outed himself.

Where did this video come from? Iran did not give it to the media. The CIA did.

What is the CIA doing INSIDE Iran?

CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing in 1985 and had a handler plan the event. If CSIS hadn't provided the explosives, that heinous event never would have happened. When will Justin Trudeau seek justice for the Air India victims and charge CSIS with murder?

US kills Iranian General responsible for defeating ISIS

Iran denies shooting down the airliner of Iranians

Where is the rocket's red glare? Take a look at this video posted on the New York Times web site. Who is filming it? They are anticipating something is going to happen with a plane they can barely see. That "missile" doesn't look like the missiles Iran used. That "missile" is traveling awfully fast. Not only is the plane being targeted it's a pretty impressive hit. IE that's hard to do. Iran would not have targeted a plane load of it's own people.

CBC claims it looks like a Tor M1 sytem. That isn't what they used in the US Military strike in Iraq.

The CIA claims Iran mistook the airliner for a US military jet and shot it down by accident. That is not believable. Iran is trustworthy. The CIA is not. Lying is their MO.

"If it is determined that it was an Iranian missile, Mr. Trudeau will have to grapple with the question of whether the United States, Canada’s most important ally, played a role in provoking the events that ultimately resulted in the loss of Canadians’ lives." Yes but Iran did not fire the missile. The CIA's false allegation does not make sense.

Iran would not have targeted an airliner full of it's own citizens and they did not mistake the airliner for an American military jet in their airspace. That is ridiculous. The "intelligence reports" are coming from the CIA. They are the prime suspects. The CIA has a long criminal history.

Update: BBC is reporting that "Iran says its military unintentionally shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people on board, Iran's state TV reports. The statement said it had done so due to "human error" after the plane flew close to a sensitive site belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Mistaken for a hostile target, the jet was hit by a missile, the statement said. Those responsible would be held accountable, it added."

The President of Iran has stated: "The Islamic Republic of Iran deeply regrets this disastrous mistake," Hassan Rouhani said late Friday in a post on Twitter. "My thoughts and prayers go to all the mourning families. I offer my sincerest condolences." Rouhani said investigations continue to "identify and prosecute this great tragedy and unforgivable mistake."

Lest we forget, the Americans killed Iran's General for defeating ISIS

Aviation experts question why Flight PS752 was cleared to fly



Final update: I still do not believe Iran did it despite their confession. I think they cut a deal with the Americans. If Iran claimed responsibility they would let their pipeline go through to Syria or something like that. Libya paid the Americans bribe for the Lockerbie bombing even though they didn't do it. Major Charles McKee, of the Defence Intelligence Agency, filed the complaint about the CIAs drug trafficking in Lebanon and was on that flight along with three other members of the team with evidence to expose COREA unit’s deal with al- Kassar.

Libya had absolutely no motive to kill Major McKee and his team on the way home to expose the CIAs drug trafficking. The only group that had a motive to stop him and kill him was the CIA. Nevertheless, Libya paid the bribe but never admitted responsibility.

In this case with Iran, there is no doubt that Iranian troops were on red alert for an impending invasion as soon as they fired their retaliation missiles. Donald Trump threatened disproportionate terrorist attacks on 52 holy sites in Iran. As soon as they launched their missiles, their troops would have without question been hyper vigilant about American bombers flying into their air space to bomb their holy sites as Donald Trump had threatened.

When that disproportionate counter strike occurred they would have no doubt been flying in from their allies in Western Ukraine. It is therefore quite possible that Iranian soldiers shot down the passenger jet approaching Terran from the Ukraine in fear they would bomb their holy sites like Donald Trump said they would. The only problem with that theory is that the flight was leaving Terran heading for the Ukraine. The CIA's claim and Iran's confession does not make sense. I do not believe they did it. If they did, Donald Trump must assume 50% liability for the disaster for threatening a disproportionate terrorist strike in Iran. However, I do not believe they did it despite the confession and hereby record my dissent.

It's like the war in Afghanistan. All of a sudden the Taliban have agreed on American ownership of the pipeline. Three months before 9/11 the Texas oil companies were wining and dining the Taliban in hopes to win the contract for the pipeline. As soon as the Taliban decided against the Americans and awarded the contract to a firm from Argentina, Afghanistan was invaded and the decision was reversed. These oil wars diminish us.

The fact that the CIA had someone on the ground filming the plane crash before it happened anticipating that it would happen is just too coincidental for me to believe. The CIA need to stop meddling in Iranian politics. That is the root of the problem.

I prefer a free republic myself but if Israel is allowed to create a Jewish state then Iran is allowed to create an Islamic state. Women in Iran have a lot more rights than they do in Saudi Arabia.

Elections in Saudi Arabia have been historically rare. Municipal elections were held in 2005 and were planned for 2009. After two years' delay, they were held in 2011. In September 2011, King Abdullah granted women the right to vote and stand in the 2015 municipal elections.

In contrast Iran holds regular elections for President and women in Iran were granted the right to vote back in 1963. They were first admitted to Iranian universities in 1937. Since then, several women have held high-ranking posts in the government or parliament. In Iran, women not only drive but can hold public office, and attend university.

The 9/11 terrorists didn't come in from Iran, they came in from Saudi Arabia AFTER the CIA overruled their passport denial. Canada and the US are arms dealing with Saudi Arabia who in turn arm ISIS. Calling for a regime change in Iran but not Saudi Arabia is sheer hypocrisy and is strictly about taking over their oil which has absolutely nothing to do with social justice.

Burnaby shooting injures 18 year old



The Burnaby Now is reporting that Burnaby RCMP is investigating a shooting that sent an 18-year-old to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Sunday night. Local police got reports of a shooting at Willingdon Avenue and Burke Street at about 10:15 p.m., according to a press release. Upon arrival, officers found a shot-up Suzuki Swift that had crashed into some bushes."

"The three men who had been in the vehicle had fled, according to police, but an 18-year-old who had been shot in the leg was found not far away on Willingdon, and the other two occupants were located shortly after. 'At this time, it appears as though the victim was in a Grey 2011 Suzuki Swift with two other men, driving southbound on Willingdon Avenue, when a white sedan pulled up beside the vehicle and started to shoot at them,' states the release. All three men in the vehicle are known to police, and the shooting was likely targeted, according to police."
