I've been watching Season One of the Witcher on Netflix. I'm not really into all the hocus pocus stuff but I like the main character and the plot. It's well written. He's buff, has a longsword and consistently displays moral conviction in his travels. I never got into the Game of Thrones but I did like Charmed. That was kind of like a Harry Potter theme and the girls consistently displayed moral conviction in confronting evil in it's many forms.
Last night I came to the season finally and I was like AYFKM? Then an ad popped up saying Season Two begins Friday on Netflix and I was like hey, that's tomorrow. What great timing.
I found the last scene somewhat humorous. Everywhere the Witcher goes people keep telling him look for the girl in the forest. She is your destiny. Everywhere the girl goes she is told to find Geralt of Rivia. He is your destiny. Obviously it's kind of a father daughter relationship because of the age difference. He is a protector and he is supposed to protect her.
Before she finds Geralt, the young girl sees him in a vision calling out for Yennefer. When they finally meet she runs into his arms and they say people whose destinies are tied together will always find each other. Then she looks him in the eyes and says Who is Yennefer?!
I had to laugh when I heard that. As I said it's obvious they are destined to be in a supportive relationship not a romantic one. Yet she finally meets the man she is destined to find and says who the f*ck is this girl you've been shagging? If they were destined to be in a romantic relationship that would be a concern. However, I think Yennefer has an important role in helping the young girl find her potential. Time will tell.
This post ties in with my New Years message and is a year end review of sorts.
It's a report card for how the BC NDP handled the flood and Covid. Let's start with the flood. For fixing the Coquihalla highway so fast they get an A+. For putting a Tiger Dam across the 401 Freeway in Abbotsford they get a F as in WTF? I shall explain.
As I first pointed out when it happened, the flooding in BC was a legitimate emergency because it knocked out commercial transportation routes. Thankfully, Kamloops, Kelowna and Prince George were able to get supplies to refill their grocery stores from Airdrie, Alberta. If that route was also washed out all the stores would have run out of food instantly.
The Coquihalla highway is a main transportation route for the rest of the country to access the Port of Vancouver. Prioritizing getting that reopened was a wise move. First they cleared the mudslides on the Hope Princeton highway, then they focused on the Coquihalla. A +
The flood response in the Fraser Valley at the Sumas river was a different matter. For Repairing the Dyke that broke which was built below design in a timely matter they get a B. However, as I said, for putting a Tiger Dam across the 401 Freeway in Abbotsford they get a big fat F as in Fail Army.
Imagine putting a Tiger Dam right across the Coquihalla highway.
It would serve no purpose. That is the transportation route you're trying to protect.
Likewise, putting a Tiger Dam across the 401 Freeway served no purpose. It was the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
When you look at the pictures you can see their twisted rationalization. They were trying to shore up the sides of the river. The spot where they put the temporary Dam was where the river went under the Freeway. Yet they only shored up one side of the river which made their exercize completely pointless.
On top of that, they shored up the side that was at the bottom of a hill. If the river did swell over its banks at that spot, the water would have been contained by the hill. The water wouldn't have flowed uphill which meant their temporary Dam was completely useless. It was a dramatic publicity stunt that is all which earned them a big fat F in the history books.
BC NDP's Covid Response
Now for BC NDP's Covid Response. At first they weren't too bad. Overall I'd give them a C-. That was when they had a minority government. Yet as soon as they got a majority government they began to show their true colors and their response changed. For that they get a big fat F.
Covid caught us all by surprise. The media's sensational misrepresentation made if far worse. Lying about hospitalization rates was straight up treason.
We now know that lockdowns are unacceptable. That is the conclusion of the Great Barrington Declaration. We have seen that the media is not only biassed, it is intentionally deceptive. We know that now.
If we want the true science, we will not find it in the media. We have to go to the medical coalitions that have set up websites to counter the false information the media is bombarding us with. The Omnicron is a con. We all know that. When viruses replicate themselves they get weaker not stronger.
Bonnie Henry is a lying freak. We all know that now. Enough said.
Shattering Stereotypes
In conclusion, I want to shatter a few stereotypes. One of my main objectives is to get people thinking outside the box. We need to think for ourselves. As Benjamin Franklin once said, Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free expects what never was and never will be.
Everyone says the NDP will tax and spend. Yet when they were elected, they got rid of bridge tolls and thereby lowered taxes. In contrast, Dianne Watts, the tax and spend princess of darkness, wanted to toll every bridge under the sun. She wanted to tax everything because that's the way she rolls. JFK supported low taxes. Low taxes supports business. If you raise taxes, businesses leave and you have less tax revenue than you did before you raised taxes.
Bonnie Henry is a lying freak. I have nothing good to say about her so I'll stop there. Adrian Dix is another matter.
Everyone refers to Adrian Dix as a leftist. He supports Democratic Socialism. Yet that's an oxymoron. Democratic Socialism does not exist. Socialism is slavery. Yet there is an ideal there that some aspire to. Nelson Mandela walked the walk. He protected civil liberty by law in the South African Constitution. I am somewhat concerned when Adrian trashes medical professionals and utters threats against them. It makes me question his Democratic Socialism.
Years ago I heard Surrey NDP MLA Joan Smallwood speak at a CUPW Regional convention. She spoke out against Communist China's human rights violations and trade agreements that do away with civil liberty. She mentioned compensation Awards in NAFTA and I was enlightened. Here we had a leftist supporting civil liberty. Imagine that. Stephen Harper didn't. Stephen Harper sold our oil rights to Communist China. He was a Globalist.
Fake Conservatives like Erin O'Toole are Globalists not Conservatives. They do not support civil liberty or fiscal responsibility. They are part of Brian Mulroney's tax and spend pork barrel politics.
Before I cite my final example I will say that I liked Carol James. I thought she was sincere and compassionate. I called Jenny Kwan a political tramp but really it was Jinny Sims that put her up to it. Jinny Sims is the snake. Speaking of lower taxes, Carol James opposed the HST. Bruce Ralston is also well respected in Surrey. I used to see him at the gym with an SFU sweat top. Garry Begg is a good man as well. He's a former cop.
When Dianne Watts first conned us, she held a press conference announcing a crime prevention coalition. It was all talk no action. I met Penny Priddy there and cited some of my time in the labour movement thinking we could build on common ground.
She raised her hand and said I'm here because I'm a mother. When it comes to crime, I'm more right wing than my political opponents. I smiled and nodded in respect. Penny Priddy supports law and order. So do I.
Many years ago Adrian Dix supported law and order when a mugger was targeting elderly Asian women at the 29th Street Skytrain Station. I met him when I was with the Guardian Angels patrolling the area to prevent further muggings.
If Adrian Dix is a Socialist like Nelson Mandela, I have no problem with that. If he is a Socialist like Lenin who sent in the machine guns to murder striking trade unionists, then I have a big problem with that. Time will tell. It always does.
US Fake News is reporting that "Chile is set to vote for a new president on Sunday, with a young former student leader Gabriel Boric on the left battling far-right conservative Jose Antonio Kast, in the most polarized election since the country's return to democracy in 1990."
"An at times heated campaign has seen Kast play up Boric's alliance with the Andean country's Communist Party, while Kast himself has come under fire for his defense of the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet that ended three decades ago.
What we're seeing here is a debate stuck in the cold war trenches, of communism versus fascism."
That is batsh*t crazy. How about neither? Communism is Fascism. They're both bad.
This is the same stupidity the fake news keeps regurgitating over and over again. ANTIFA, the Anti Fascists, calls everyone who disagrees with them Fascists. Even Canadian WWII veterans. In fact, ANTIFA built the Berlin Wall. They claimed it was to keep the Western Fascists out when in reality it was to keep the prisoners of Communism from escaping.
After the war, West Berlin were not Fascists. They were free. The Communists hated that fact because it interfered with their slavery is good model. When people saw freedom, they realized slavery sucks and they wanted out. That's why they built the wall. To prevent people from seeing what freedom is like and escaping.
Our media keeps regurgitating the same old lie over and over again. They say if you are right wing, you are racist. That's a lie. Just because you want less taxes, more freedom and less government, does not mean you are racist. Candace Owens made a funny coming out video where she told her parents that she was Gay and Conservative.
At first her parents were thrilled with the fact that she was Gay then became mortified when they found out she was Conservative. Her mother said how can we tell our neighbors our daughter has joined the KKK?
It was satire. Everyone claims Conservatives are racist yet Candace Owens is black. How can she be racist against black people if she's black? She's not. That's why the mainstream media hate her. She destroys their false narrative. The same with Rob Smith, Brandon Straka and Blair White. Just because you support less taxes does not make you transphobic or homophobic.
In reality, Fascists are a lot closer to Communists than Conservatives. Conservatives want small government. Fascists want big government with total control just like Communists do. At what point does a Conservative say I want big government and less freedom? They don't.
The Globe and Mail is reporting that "The government is planning to plant up to 320 million trees a year to meet the prime minister’s target to put an extra two billion trees in the ground by 2030.
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on Thursday launched a recruitment drive to find tree planters – including farmers, Indigenous communities and non-profit organizations – to plant millions of extra trees a year."
That's a great idea.
Planting trees is always a good thing. We don't have to give up our democratic system to do it either.
When forestry does a clear cut I believe they are supposed to replant the area afterwards. We just need to be sure they get adequate irrigation.
I'm sure we've all heard of paid tree planters complain that many of the trees in their sites died because they didn't get enough water. Tree planting in the back country is hard work.
When evil men and women burn and bomb good men and women plant trees. Especially after a forest fire.
Surrey has a releaf program where you can and get some trees to plant in Surrey Parks. In urban setting volunteers can be a big help.
CBC is reporting that "The Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) is set to reopen to commercial traffic and inter-city buses on Dec. 20, a month after it was significantly damaged by floods and mudslides.
Transportation Minister Rob Fleming made the announcement at a news conference on Wednesday." Wow. Well done.
Since the Surrey Sleazebags have hired Bill Tielman to promote their cause, it's time we take another look at exactly what he is being paid to promote. After all, what we do in life echoes in eternity. In the movie Gladiator, Marcus Aurelius speaks with Maximus before he dies and asks how will the world remember me? Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant? History remembers what we do. When this life is over, everyone will see it.
There are two aspects of the RCMPs prevalent misconduct that I will highlight: sexual harassment and organized crime. We know that sexual harassment was prevalent within the RCMP. It resulted in three separate class action lawsuits. The sexual misconduct did not beginning or end in Surrey but it was prevalent here. It predated the Surrey Six investigation.
Derek Brassington slept with a witness in the Surrey Six investigation, Jamie Bacon's girlfriend. I will refer to her as Person J. He also slept with DK's girlfriend. In fact he was having threesomes with Person J and I don't think the third person was DK's GF it was yet another. His coworkers were well aware of what he was doing. It was their MO.
Under cross examination one of the female witnesses was asked if she regularly went drinking with investigators and would flirt with them. She said yes but emphasized it was all consensual. Oh, I guess that makes it OK then. For married men investigating a crime to regularly go out drinking and flirting with the female witnesses.
This level of unprofessionalism is what Bill Tielman is being paid to promote. When you cover something up, you are helping promote it reoccurring.
The sexual harassment within the Surrey RCMP did not begin or end with Bill Fordy, but he was an active participant. He was one of the FOCCers. Swingers known as the Friends of Craig Callen. I don't want to go into what he did again. Suffice it to say he was an idiot and history will remember him as such. He was the Surrey RCMP police chief.
We remember how they smuggled a stripper in a hockey bag on the RCMP security ship for the 2010 Olympics. A RCMP officer raped a female employee at that event.
That was inexcusable.
Don't get me started on Jim Brown. He was the Coquitlam RCMP officer posting BDSM pictures online trying to find willing participants. Cameron Ward, the lawyer for the original Pickton Inquiry that Wally Opal skuttled, made reference to a photo of Jim Brown and Dave Pickton in a threesome. As soon as that went public, the Coquitlam RCMP kicked in the whistleblower's door, seized all his hard drives and deleted the evidence. I haven't seen the picture but I have spoken with two very credible witnesses who have. Is this really what Bill Tielman wants to promote?
I spoke with a senior officer in a one of the metro Vancouver municipal police departments who had served on joint RCMP task forces. He said the RCMP are very arrogant and think their sh*t doesn't stink. They think they are better than municipal police because of Depot. That's where the verbal abuse and sexual misconduct all begins, Sadly, it doesn't end there either.
I do not support Defunding the police. I support refunding the police. Confronting police corruption was an important part of the New York model. In New York the police corruption wasn't limited to Michael Dowd, it extended to his entire precinct that refuse to turn him in.
George Christie once asked me, are you for or against the police? It's hard to tell from reading your blog. I laughed and said I support law and order. It's just that there aren't many cops I trust.
In New York I saw good cops and bad cops just like I did in South Seattle. I saw the difference a good cop could make and I saw the damage a bad cop could do.
The problem with the Surrey RCMP is from the top down not the bottom up. The regular officers are fine. All that sexual misconduct was condoned and promoted by management. Bill Fordy was the Surrey Police chief. Craig Callen was the head of E Division. This is where it ties to organized crime. Management put those clowns in charge because they didn't want them do confront crime. They knew those clowns would be too busy getting laid to worry about doing their job. That same upper management were the ones that kept pulling the plug on organized crime investigations.
This brings us back to Operation Phoenix and Allen Dalstrom. BC formed a regional task force on organized crime called OCA and launched Operation Phoenix which targeted the Hells Angels. The RCMP wanted that jurisdiction back and sabotaged the investigation. Allen Dalstrom was fired because he told Julian Sher "when it came to organized-crime investigations, the RCMP had done “f--- all here for 25 years”. So let's look at what they've done here since then.
The provincial government had formed the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit who targeted Kelowna that summer with a pivotal undercover operation where David Giles the Kelowna VP I had referred to as Skeletor was finally busted as well as a huge stolen car, boat and motorcycle ring tied to the Kelowna Hells Angels through Johnny Newcome's chop shop. That summer the OMGU proved Pat Fogarty wrong. They did such a great job, the BC Liberals disbanded the OMGU and transferred everyone to new departments.
Ever since then the CFSEU became compromised and stopped making Hells Angles drug busts. They just harass fringe associates in nightclubs and hold publicity shoots at Motorcycle runs. The CFSEU don't give a f*ck about the drug trafficking's out of Shakerz. They even have Hells Angels associates in the witness protection program from the rat out your rivals program. The Surrey RCMP have even given Hells Angel associates police escorts to sell drugs. I kid you not. So is this really what Bill Tielman wants to promote?
I know times are tough and everyone wants to make a living but to sell your soul to promote that cause is disappointing. They can't be paying him much. To sell your soul for a few pennies is very sad. I heard someone sold their birthright for a bowl of soup once. Tragic. Is that really how Mr Bill wants to be remembered for the rest of eternity? He could have done so much better.
The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "A letter from 227 B.C. chiropractors threatens to sue the 17 board members of the College of Chiropractors of B.C. if they back a provincial order for chiropractors to get COVID-19 jabs.
Chiropractors are not among the health-care workers in B.C. who fall under a vaccination order, but it is expected they will be in the future."
More educated professionals objecting to mandatory vaccination for Covid.
Post Media Trash is rpeorting that "British Columbia’s chiropractors have found themselves at the centre of the debate over vaccine mandates, following an eyebrow-raising vote earlier this week.
At Wednesday’s annual general meeting of the B.C. College of Chiropractors, the body that regulates and licences the profession, a resolution opposing provincial vaccine mandates won the support of 78 per cent of delegates."
"The non-binding resolution, submitted by Kelowna chiropractor Mark Foullong, called on the college to take a stand to protect the right to medical freedom of choice and “maintain the right to choose medical privacy … free of coercion, manipulation of mandates.”
The Communist Brodcasting Network is reporting that "The day after a majority of chiropractors attending a meeting of their regulator voted to oppose a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, B.C.'s health minister told an industry representative he was starting to doubt the wisdom of self-regulation, CBC has learned."
"Minister Dix indicated it was an embarrassment that a health profession would in such resounding numbers … support such unfounded and false claims while people are dying from COVID-19," she said.
Go f*ck yourself. They were caught falsifying the death rates. Adrian Dix is as far left as the go. He's on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall. Everyone in the party knows that.
Last night the Doctors on Tour gave a presentation before a packed house in Kelowna. The way Castanet misrepresented the event explains why they have stalkers confronting them after work.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap. I was shocked to see Bill Tieleman lobbying for the Save the RCMP in Surrey bullies. He has a reputation for being NDP but he hasn't had a reputation for being a sleazebag. Until now. He needs a bigger shovel for all that horse sh*t he's spewing.
I have two questions: 1) Does Bill Tieleman even live in Surrey?
2) Is Bill Tieleman's advocacy work for the Save the RCMP Sleazebags a paid postion?
Bill Tieleman is president of West Star Communications, a strategy and communications consulting firm, providing services for labour, business, non-profits and governments for the past 13 years. So I wanna know. Is his advocacy for the Save the RCMP sleazebags a paid position?
I already pointed out the obscene conflict of interest the RCMP have partaken in by charging the mayor instead of the people who were harassing him at a local grocery store. This dirty deed is further evidence that the RCMP in Surrey need to be replaced ASAP.
You want a provincial referendum on keeping the RCMP in Surrey? F*ck off. No really. Why not make it a federal referendum for f*ck's sake? It's nobody else's business what we do except for us. Surrey decides it's future no one else. Especially paid sleazebags from a dirty union.
Doug McCallum won the election on a promise to replace the RCMP. Surrey is the largest city in the country without its own police force. I live here and I am not paid by Doug McCallum to promote his position. I am a voter who voted for him because I supported his positions. LRT on 104th would have been an infrastructure nightmare. It was a bad idea. Doug McCallum saved us from making that horrific mistake. Now the sleazebags are criminally harassing him.
Surrey First was Surrey's worst when it came to fiscal reasonability and crime prevention . All they do is tax and spend. We want something better. This is our home. We live here. We decide.
Recently Post Media Trash was discussing the idea of getting rid of the RCMP in BC entirely and forming a Provincial police force like Ontario. That is what Alberta is now considering. If you have a provincial referendum, then that's the question. Whether to form a provincial police force for all of BC. Yet Surrey decides its own fate. No other City has a say in Surrey's future.
Looks like the NDP are going a good job getting the Coquihalla up and running again. Paula Cousins, the Regional Executive Director of the ministry of transportation and infrastructure said
"This is the response phase so the priority right now is just to get the economy and the trucks moving again." Wow. Someone with a brain. Let's hear more from her.
Transportation minister Rob Fleming said "This is important for the country as well because this is our main transportation route that makes sure goods get to the country." (Coming from the port.) Exactly.
A good economy means more tax revenue.
The vultures are relentless and shameless. Post Media Trash is reporting that the police are charging Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum for public mischief because he filed a harassment complaint with the RCMP when he was verbally assaulted by the Save the RCMP freaks outside Save on Foods. When they say stand up to bullies, that's exactly what we should do.
Post Media Trash posted this picture with the caption "Keep the RCMP in Surrey photo - Ivan Scott of Keep the RCMP in Surrey and Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum, right, have a heated conversation in a grocery store parking lot in September 2021."
How is that a heated conversation? Doug McCallum is leaving the grocery store and one of the RCMP freaks gets all up in his grill. Obviously there was more than one of them because they took the picture. This is what they wanted you to see. They didn't take pictures of what they didn't want you to see. There is no question these are bullies harassing the mayor when he is out doing grocery shopping. Any other police force on this continent would have charged the bullies. But no, the conflicted Surrey RCMP charged the mayor instead. Ivan Scott's son is RCMP.
Brenda Locke is exploiting the opportunity to call for the Mayor to resign. That is ridiculous. She is the one who should resign for flipping on her election promise as soon as she was elected. Brenda Locke is a skank. I'm sorry but there is no other adjective that adequately describes her. She is a dirty politician who lied to get elected. There needs to be some kind of moral accountability for breaking her election promise. A recall petition should be launched.
Brenda Locke is a bully. She's mad at the Mayor because he stands up to bullies. Brenda Locke was a Surrey MP during Gordon Campbell's era of arrogance railroading the HST and steam rolling over voters. That is why she was not re elected.
She sucked up to Doug McCallum so she could run on his ticket. He ran on a law and order fiscal responsibility platform and Surrey First was wiped off the map. All of the incumbents were defeated because of their tax and spend junket obsession. The only one that was elected was a newcomer from crime prevention. She had no idea how bad Linda Hepner and Dianne Watts were. Dianne Watts was a liar and a bully. She trained Botox Betty well. Brenda is their protege.
Aside from crime and fiscal responsibility, Doug McCallum ran on two main platforms. Skytrain over LRT and Municipal police over RCMP. He wasn't saying defund the police. He said municipal police accountable to Surrey not Ottawa. Brenda Locke joined that platform to get elected. Then a soon as she was elected she broke her election promise and started ruthlessly campaigning against a municipal force for the RCMP. That was a breach of contract. She should resign.
Any other police force in North America would have charged the stalkers with harassment for harassing the mayor while he was out grocery shopping. The fact that the RCMP has charged the mayor not them is evidence they need to be replaced. The vultures are desperate because Municipal police already have boots on the ground.
While we're on the subject of RCMP dirty tricks we need to talk about Operation Phoenix. That was a task force mandated to go after the Hells Angels in BC though a Regional Task force. The RCMP wanted that jurisdiction back so they sabotaged the mission and got the Hells Angels off.
Once they got that jurisdiction back, what did they do with it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.RCMP in other provinces make Hells Angels drug busts. The RCMP in BC do not. Allen Dalstrom was a member of the Regional Task Force involved with Operation Phoenix. He was fired for telling a reporter the truth. One of the reasons cited by Douglas for firing Dalstrom is that he believed Dalstrom was the “OCA insider” quoted in Julian Sher’s book about the Angels, The Road To Hell, How the Biker Gangs Are Conquering Canada, who said that, when it came to organized-crime investigations, the RCMP had done “f--- all here for 25 years”. So once again we see someone fired for telling the truth. The Ontario Biker Enforcement Unit is successful because the RCMP doesn’t have anything to do with it’s administration.
As for Doug McCallum, Surrey has greatly benefitted from his leadership in this current term. LRT on the ground down 104th Avenue would have been an infrastructure nightmare. Turning those four lanes into one lane each way with no left turns would have been insane. The clowns pushing that did not live in the area and had no idea what kind of chaos that would have created. Perhaps they did but didn't care because of the dirty money in their pocket.
Forming a municipal force in Surrey is a clear step forward. Surrey is the largest city in Canada without its own police force. Brenda clueless and the Surrey first leftovers are defiantly standing in the way of progress. Doug McCallum is fiscally responsible. Surrey First was anything but. Tax and spend junkets out the city in record debt.
Surrey's budget is a lot better than Vancouver's. Kennedy Stewart is not fiscally responsible. He came from the NDP and has no party behind him. All he does is raise taxes which drives away business.
Doug McCallum is doing a lot better.
