The Democratic Presidential Debate

I didn't watch the Democratic Presidential Debate but I will say this: it was nice to see Hilary Clinton was not there. Last election, having to choose between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump was like having to choose between getting shot in the left leg or the right leg. Either way it's going to be painful. How about neither?

In this case I don't know enough about the candidates to make an endorsement so I'll let nature take it's course. However, I will point out that "The New York Times will announce its Democratic primary endorsement on Jan. 19." I find that statement interesting.

Growing up I always thought newspapers were supposed to be impartial. That's why I found Rupert Murdoch's political bias so disturbing. The New York Times certainly has every right to make an endorsement in an election. Since, unlike the New York Daily, the New York Times is not owned by Rupert Murdoch, I would take their endorsement a little more seriously. The caution I have is when a media monopoly makes an endorsement then censors negative stories about their endorsement. When one media giant owns a monopoly, that kind of bias is concerning.

Amy Klobuchar talked about fiscal responsibility and said Trump has run up the debt. That is a good point. Everyone claims the left will tax and spend while the right will reduce spending and taxes but we see in reality that is far from the case. Neo Cons tax and spend more than the left does. Those pork barrel politicians are not fiscally responsible. This is why I supported Thomas Mulclair in Canada. He said the same thing.

I'm not a fan of abortion. In cases of incest or rape it is a very hard and very private decision. When the health of the mother is at risk it is automatic. It's not even called an abortion it's called a D&C. However, late term abortion as a form of birth control is sheer irresponsibility. Abortion stops a beating heart. It reminds me of when ancient Greece would leave disabled babies to die on a hillside. We are better then that. So although killing babies isn't a priority I obsess over, I realize there is more than one issue on the table. I don't support gun control either.

For me, drug trafficking, arms dealing and oil wars is important. All of that is tied directly to the CIA. That means my concern is how close is the presidential candidate with the CIA? Hilary Clinton was too close. Her drug trafficking didn't start with Operation Fast and Furious, it started in Mena Arkansas. Neither did her arms dealing begin and end with Quatar and Saudi Arabia. Arming ISIS has become an American tradition that we need to address.

All I know is that Donald Trump has lost his mind. Destabilizing the Middle East by threatening a disproportionate terrorist attack against Iran was purely satanic. That is how history will remember him. Wars and sanctions need to revolve around moral principles not corporate greed.

Mexican cop films dying cartel member

The Daily Mail is reporting that "Video footage has emerged showing the dying moments of a female cartel boss after she was fatally wounded during a shootout with police in Mexico. The clip and photographs appear to confirm she was María Guadalupe López Esquivel, known as 'La Catrina,' a female member of a cartel hit squad that massacred 13 police officers in October. The 21-year-old was involved in an attack against the military, national guard and police in La Bocanda, a town in the central state of Michoacán."

I have a lot to say about this one. We all know that the Mexican police have a bad reputation for being corrupt. Here we have a cop in Mexico video taping a young women shot on the side of the road before she dies. AYFKM? He claims that she was a member of a cartel hit squad that massacred 13 police officers in October. That is what he claims.

Yet we have no way of verifying whether or not that is true just like we have no way of verifying whether or not anyone the CIA executes with a drone really is a bad guy. We believe in due process. We do not believe in extrajudicial executions. Filming a young woman as she is dying is in bad taste. Posting those pictures on the Internet is in bad taste. Violence begets violence.

"One of the strongest and most recognizable symbols of The Day of the Dead celebrations is the tall female skeleton wearing a fancy hat with feathers. Her name is La Catrina who is a goddess of death that the Aztecs alleged protected their departed loved ones, helping them into the next stages" of the afterlife. Disney portrayed La Catrina in the movie Coco.

If it was her, the reason they killed her is because her cartel is a rival of the one the CIA was arms dealing with and getting their cocaine from in Operation Fast and Furious.

Was the girl they shot and filmed bleeding on the side of the road the same girl as the one in the picture holding the gold AK? I do not know. To me, they do not look the same. But then again, I didn't think the Bin Laden confession video looked anything like Bin Laden.

The former president of Colombia has a very bad reputation for killing villagers and dressing them us as paramilitaries to boast false positive killings. I don't know if that is what they have done here, but I do know that posting pictures of dying girls is in bad taste. You all need to find some self respect because you've lost it and no one can find it for you. That's something you're going to have to find for yourself. La Catrina: Peace. We'll see you on the other side.



This video she posted seems to have a positive political message. Give it up for OneWayRD.

Police suspect foul play after man found dead in Burnaby

Global is reporting that "Detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a man in Burnaby Monday morning. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says Joseph Vincent Morrissey, 51, was found dead in the 6700-block of 4th Street around 7:20 a.m. Police say the Vancouver man had "injuries consistent with foul play," and that the death is believed to be connected to the drug trade." Big surprise.

This is why enforcement saves lives not harm promotion. Wherever the police allow drugs to be sold openly, the violent crime in that area skyrockets. If you reduce the amount of drugs sold publicly, you reduce the violent crime associated with it.

Likewise, the Aldergrove Star is reporting that a person was found dead Saturday in east Maple Ridge near the 24500-block of Lougheed Highway. “Though the area is rural, investigators believe that it does get used frequently by pedestrians." Things that make ya go hmmmm. Sounds like another fatality connected to the drug trade. Maple Ridge has a large drug problem now that needs to be dealt with not swept under the carpet.

Hells Angels Associates sentenced for drug trafficking in Ontario again

Inquinite is reporting that "Calvin Hyderman, 63, of Frankford, Nicholas Runnalls, 41, of Belleville and Mark Dunn, 50, of Trenton were found guilty in Belleville court on Monday of possession for the purpose of trafficking."

"The three men were charged in late June, 2018 after the OPP and Belleville Police searched homes in Belleville, Trenton and Frankford and seized an unspecified quantity of cocaine, along with drug paraphernalia, weigh scales, some Canadian currency and colours belonging to the Hell’s Angels."

In 2017 more Hells Angels associates were charged with drug trafficking in that area. One of those men, Blair Crawford was sentenced in 2018.

Yvan Leclair is the full patch Hells Angel those drug dealers were working for in 2017. Leclair's lawyer claimed that he may have been a Hells Angel, but Yvan Leclair was on his own when selling cocaine and guns to undercover cops which as we all know is simply not true. They were using the name of the Hells Angels to sell drugs. That means they had the permission of the local executive. As the world is distracted with more important things, the Hells Angels are still drug trafficking here at home. Stop the greed. Live the dream, don't pimp it.

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.

US Clearing Anti-War Voices Off Social Media in Vast Censorship Operation

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.
