Excited Delirium

Poor Elections Canada. Making dumb decisions dumber.

People and organizations tell the truth. What do they have to do? They have to register with Elections Canada as a political interest group and expose themselves to the risk of being audited or bullied by government organizations.

This means any organization expressing views contrary to political bull shit will be at risk of being publicly shamed by our government.

Meanwhile, deniers will be allowed to lie and manipulate the truth. Some even push new limits with respect to libel or even threats of assault or murder of specific candidates. Our Prime Minister is not even immune to these kind of threats.

Or ‘think tanks’ that are well-funded by third-parties like the Koch Brothers and others – example: the Fraser Institute – get to simply coast by spreading lies and nonsense about government programs their ‘investors’ and supporters don’t agree with. To make it worse, even the CBC continues to refer to these organizations as legitimate sources of information, despite the fact that they’re not audited or are not transparent about their source of funds or influence.

So where does that leave average Canadians that want a progressive, thoughtful future for not just Canada, but the rest of the world?

F’ed. We are f’ed. If this is the crap we have coming down the pipe, I can’t even begin to imagine the slew of tricks these people will be pulling out of their hats to bring down the Liberals and other progressive voices in Canada.

What’s the solution? We all commit to spending a minimum amount of money on Facebook, Twitter and others social media channels promoting education and targeting knuckle-dragging deniers.

Just don’t spend more than $442 + HST. That’ll push you beyond the magic $500 level. Like that means anything to billionaire bandits like the Kochs.

The reminder of what happens when we are bullied into not asking questions about those shaping our lives:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This is a confession of sorts written by a German Pastor named Martin Niemöller.

At what point do we include folks asking questions about the ‘official narrative’, including those who might be labelled as ‘conspiracy theorists’?

Well, ask no longer because at least one side of the equation will soon become a reality, despite the fact that it’s a contravention to freedom of speech and the Constitution of the United States. And in opposition to the ideals set out by the United Nations (an organization that, according to potential-terrorist-because-he-believes-in-conspiracy-theories President Donald Trump, is a cabal of socialists wanting to control our lives).

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the US will now track people who remind the public of ‘conspiracy theories’, putting the right to free speech in question.

This would make NYC fire commissioners, the President himself, people that question obscene profits of pharma and oil companies at the expense of the public and millions of others subject to perverse invasions of privacy.

Congratulations USA.

You’re now a corporate-led, bully-driven, failed economic state that blames ghosts for your problems.

In other words, you’re a fascist state.

it’s great to see this hit the mainstream media.

A full in-depth coverage of doctor prescribed opioids, potentially creating the crisis that we’ve got on our hands today.

Check it out when you get a chance.

It’ll take 2800 years to clean up the mess in Alberta and elsewhere: https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/06/03/investigations/exclusive-alberta-warned-it-could-take-2800-years-clean-oilpatch

It looks we’re just playthings for the oil sector. Flies in the ointment.

Even the Green Party is caving in to demands of Alberta, promising to only use oil and other carbon resources from Canada as opposed to other sources, even though Canadian sources generate very little net gain for us and perpetuate the endless funding of people like the Koch Brothers and other non-Canadian sources.

And now we’re slowly discovering that the Oil industry has been using Canada’s spy agency – CSIS – to collect information on protesters and opponents to pipelines and carbon creation in general.

Details are still being reviewed, but access to information folks in BC have identified that CSIS has been using information about protesters and making a file on them, including activists like Tzeporah Berman, primarily because she’s showing leadership against Jason Kenney’s Un-Albertan Activities Committee, a throw-back to the days of McCarthyism in the US.

Is this a good use of Canadian taxpayer resources?

Are we sure we should perpetuate the petrol state at the expense of our long-term economy, environment and social stability in Canada?

The United States is failing before our eyes.

Reports of another terrorist gun attack in California.

And another in El Paso.

And another in Ohio just last night.

All within a couple of days.

Once again, the media fails to label these terrorists as terrorists, but that’s ALL they are. Angry, racist, white men determined to follow the commands of their leader.

They are fueling mayhem and fear in the United States.

Randomness is what they rely on most.

Keep people indoors.

Getting more anti-social by the day.

Hating more.

We won’t travel to the US any more. Not only do we fear for our lives, but we just don’t want to risk supporting anyone or anything that supports this insanity.

While we continue our travel ban, should we start considering an economic boycott? What about the companies that sell the guns to these terrorists? WalMart? Costco? Bass Outlet Store? Have any of you stepped up and taken responsibility for this madness? Are you going to ban guns like we try to limit the number of plastic bags in the environment? Probably not …

The great American experiment is failing before our eyes.

Interesting times, indeed.
