Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor.&lt;br /&gt;2. Add shortening and butter and chop-mix until mixture resembles coarse meal.&lt;br /&gt;3. Transfer mixture to bowl.&lt;br /&gt;4. Mix 6 tablespoons beer and vinegar in small bowl; pour over flour mixture.&lt;br /&gt;5. Stir with fork until moist clumps form, adding more beer by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry.&lt;br /&gt;6. Gather dough into 2 balls; roll each into disk&lt;br /&gt;7. place one in pie pan reserve other for top crust&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Method: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Prep all the diced and grated ingredients first.&lt;br /&gt;2) Brown the meat in a skillet with a few onions and garlic, drain this meat when browned through a colander and put aside ( save drippings)&lt;br /&gt;3) Put the diced bacon in a fry pan and sweat the grease from it&lt;br /&gt;4) When the pan has some bacon drippings add a bit of the meat drippings as needed to sauté the mushrooms and onion&lt;br /&gt;5) When onion is translucent and mushrooms is getting soft , add the drained meat to the pan&lt;br /&gt;6) Blend meat mushroom and onion with rest of the garlic- add the beer and cream and stir.&lt;br /&gt;7) When this is bubbling add the Bovril, onion soup and let simmer for 5 min&lt;br /&gt;8) Add the grated carrot and potato and remaining spices, mix, then put a lid on the pan and let slow simmer for 15 min adding water (or Beer) if/as needed to keep a 10% liquid content.&lt;br /&gt;9) Adjust seasoning if needed, bring to a rolling simmer and add flour as needed to make the mixture a thick pie-filling consistency.&lt;br /&gt;10)  Ladle meat mixture into prepared pastry-lined pans and put top crusts in place.&lt;br /&gt;11)  Mix the egg yolk, olive oil and basil pesto in a cup whisk to bend, brush on top crust and score (perforate) top crust&lt;br /&gt;12)  Place pies in pans on middle rack of oven at 375 deg.F. for  30-40 min or until top crust is flaky and browned&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Notes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; I use a large electric fry-pan for this but any large skillet that can contain the total ingredients and be covered is OK&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;¼ the ingredient list for 1-9” pie or 3-5” pies and then the pastry recipe will do you without multiplying it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The cream is essential…you may balk at putting cream and beer in the same pan put believe me it makes the finished product unique and well worth while.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; The store-bought pastry is faster, easy to use and tasted just as good. Try to find the &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.pillsbury.com/products/pie-crust/refrigerated/Pillsbury-Refrigerated-Pie-Crusts.htm"&gt;Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts&lt;/a&gt;, they are great for this and especially good for making smaller 5” pies because the trims can be rolled and reused to make more crusts  Sobeys usually has this in the dairy case next to the Pillsbury croissants.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Comments:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This malty confection makes&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://images.allrecipes.com/site/allrecipes/area/community/userphoto/big/54867.jpg"&gt; the best savoury meat pies&lt;/a&gt; I ever tasted…and I don’t like pastry but this is pure ambrosia to the palate and well into the “comfort food” genre.  Served with a tall tankard of crafted ale this is a meal fit to savor as Rome burns around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-8081993918069519023?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/8081993918069519023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=8081993918069519023' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/8081993918069519023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/8081993918069519023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2008/02/and-now-for-something-completely.html' title='And Now For Something Completely Different!'/><author><name>W.L.

Wells is probably renown in modern culture as the father of science fiction. “&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.waroftheworlds.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;War of the Worlds&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;“, "&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://timemachine.countingdown.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Time Machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" and other of his novels  were transformed into modern Hollywood horror genre epics. Selectively culled from popular culture info on Wells, is that he authored numerous books and essays which were not of the science fiction genre.They were distinctly social-political in nature and are distinguished from is sci-fi thrillers by the distasteful social Darwinist elitism they convey. The “&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks04/0400671h.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;New World Order&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;“, and the “&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.inlex.org/stories/wells/opencons.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Open Conspiracy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;” are two notable pieces of social political commentary that Wells produced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Wells wrote the first edition of “&lt;em&gt;The Open Conspiracy&lt;/em&gt;” in 1928. This book details what Wells called the “Open Conspiracy” among the &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Pfabian.htm"&gt;intellectual &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes-Milner_Round_Table_Groups"&gt;political class elites&lt;/a&gt; of the day who despised the &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment"&gt;old order of things&lt;/a&gt; (most notably the sovereign nation state and &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.blackstoneinstitute.org/sirwilliamblackstone.html"&gt;commoner influence&lt;/a&gt; in law and government). He was made privy to their desire to work towards a &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.constitution.org/col/cuddy_nwo.htm"&gt;grand world directorate&lt;/a&gt;, a global society in which individuals no longer hold fast to tradition, but yield themselves willingly to the world state for the good of all. This agenda was particularly popular with his contempories like George Bernard Shaw, the Huxleys, Darwins, Wedgewoods and Clement Attlee to name a few in the Fabian society. Wells' "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Open Conspiracy&lt;/span&gt;" utilizes propaganda, educational and governmental reform, and other forms of influence to advance the goals of its author . The scientific management of the world (martial technocracy) is at the heart of the open conspirators agenda. Of course, this rigid, top down, elitist management of humanity is sold as being for the benefit of all. As in all autocratic schemes it is always &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.whale.to/b/images/Committee300.gif"&gt;the elite controlling class&lt;/a&gt; which receive the bulk of the "benefits".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.emmerich1.com/EUGENICS.htm"&gt;Population control&lt;/a&gt; through genetic culturing and eugenics is named by Wells in the Open Conspiracy as a “primary condition” of the world directorate. Wells writes,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote  style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“There is a clear hope that, later, directed breeding will come within his [mankind’s] scope, but that goes beyond his present range of practical achievement, and we need not discuss it further here. Suffice it for us here that the world community of our desires, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the organized world community conducting and ensuring its own progress, requires a deliberate collective control of population as a primary condition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;blockquote  style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;We want watchful and understanding guardians and drivers of complex delicate machines, which can be mishandled and brutalized and spoilt all too easily. The less disposed these masters of our machines are to inordinate multiplication, the more room and food in the world for their ampler lives. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Even to the lowest level of a fully-mechanicalized civilization it is required that the human element&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;should be select&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;A succinct and candid summary of Wells’ idea of a centrally federated global regime can be found in the introduction that he wrote for prominent eugenicist &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.spectacle.org/997/richmond.html"&gt;Margaret Sanger&lt;/a&gt; in her book “&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/1689"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pivot of Civilization&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;“, written in 1922. Wells speaks with an authoritarian and elitist tone in condemning the world for &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://library.thinkquest.org/C004367/eh4.shtml"&gt;misusing the “gifts”&lt;/a&gt; that the elite have so kindly presented to mankind. He transposes these appalling thoughts to words;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote  style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“The New Civilization is saying to the Old now: “We cannot go on making power for you to spend upon international conflict. You must stop waving flags and bandying insults. You must organize the Peace of the World; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;you must subdue yourselves to the Federation of all mankind.

First time I heard it mentioned on a political blog, I shrugged it off as just another vacant academic toss-off phrase that must’ve discharged from some nameless cloistered elite mind-farting in public. Then I came across this article by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/archives_roll/2002_04-06/fonte_ideological/fonte_ideological.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;John Fonte&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fonte observes that elite institutions in western culture from the national council of churches to the UN and it's plethora of NGOs are embarked upon an active path to destroy the concept of the sovereign nation state and it's empowered individual and displace the influenece of the elected governments of these separate sovereign states with regional or global regulatory bureaucracies. He also observed that for some unknown reason all the governments in these sovereign western free nation-states seem on a self destructive course in being determined to deliver themselves up to this weakened national sovereignty and transnational governance. Fonte published his observations in the summer 2002 edition of the&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="www.hudson.org/files/publications/transnational_progressivism.pdf"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hudson Institute Orbis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A profound observation by Mr. Carr. The collective dogmatic left has indeed grown up and left it;s small domestic pond and gone international in scope. Mutated from revolutionary tadpoles to mammon monopolisers and bureaucratic moguls in agenda and as such have attracted an economic and political elite to the helm of the movement. This new international leftist elite (transnational progressivist or “Tranzies”) to whom the acquisition of both power and wealth has been a generational quest, have taken up the cause of the old left and sculpted the new global left ideologies to fit their long term agendas. Gone is the economic class struggle of Marx as the new middle class tyranny of a global bureaucratic feudal elite emerges from the old revolutionary left populist crusades. But this was destined to be....an natural off-shoot of communism becoming populist in postmodernist western culture and going global in scope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Communism, or more accurately centralized socialism, is not a movement of the down-trodden masses but of the economic elite….the natural extension of this is global socialism which the “Tranzies” promote. If one understands that socialism is NOT a share the wealth plan but a politically actuated plan to consolidate power and control a nation’s wealth, then the paradox of super rich men promoting global socialism (or transnational progressivism) becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes logical, even the perfect tool for wealthy power-seeking megalomaniacs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we have to see when viewing the machinations and ideals of the new left/”Tranzie” movement, is that two historic polar opposite philosophies have found common ground in a common control agenda. In the past, the radical left was always defined by it’s big government interventionist statism... its trend toward police state enforcement of dyslexic utopian egalitarianism…in contrast, the radical right was defined by it's big business-corporatist-monopolist economic feudalism and social darwinism...its tendency to politically empower a economic elite and form economic feudalist “baronage” among silent ruling class oligarchs…in the transnational progressivist movement there are elements of both these radical agendas in a convenient practical marriage. That ideological “marriage" has made the Tranzie movement the most formidable danger free men have faced since escaping the tyranny of the age of Kings. The danger lies in the common element glueing these global control orthodoxies is the disempowerment of the individual. The age of the comman man is at a wane....the rise of NGO regulatory pwer is the symptomatic evidence and return to the empowered idividual is the cure to keep unaccountable global autocrats at bay...the empowered individual thrives in the soveriegn constitutional-commonlaw nation state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The coming global administration will be no respecter of your individual or civil freedoms. From the behavior of Tranzies in domestic office today we can see they are headed towards some form of racialist police state being imposed (Multicult/diversity enforcement being a machination of “Tranzie” statism). A state where the elites will encourage the supposed historically oppressed to get even with their former oppressors and provide that opportunity through the perversion of the legal and governing systems will/has emerged...a sort of defacto tyranny of minorieites supported by a white-bread ruling elite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;This is the first installment on the transnational progressivist globalism…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;....coming up next we will explore this pluralist “group rights” concept of “Tranzism” being the antithesis of constitutional democracy concepts of the individual being the central political unit:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;“Among the main concepts of Transnational Progressivism is the notion that the key political unit is not the individual who forms voluntary associations and works with his fellow citizens regardless of their race, sex or national origin, it is the ascriptive group – racial, ethnic or gender – into which one is born.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;a href="www.hudson.org/files/publications/transnational_progressivism.pdf"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;a href="www.hudson.org/files/publications/transnational_progressivism.pdf"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-411545203226459079?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/411545203226459079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=411545203226459079' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/411545203226459079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/411545203226459079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2007/04/from-marxists-to-transnational.html' title='From Marxists to Transnational Progressives: A look at the left&apos;s slow, mutated journey to the New World Order'/><author><name>W.L.

I keep seeing a singularly insideous phenomina reoccuring in most of these blogs posts. That being: the use of political brand labeling and the old ( discredited) "left-right" political spectrum map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have written enough about how I have come to realize that political labels and the old left-right/Tory-Liberal/Republican-Democrat partisan tribalism is a mistake and no longer applicable to the homogeneous politics at play in all branded parties......the ideologies and mindsets that drive politics today defy the currrent labeling and certainly are more complex that the simple 2 dimensional Left-right spectrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I see it, political ideologies reflect 7 distinct groups of thought that I will briefly list here on a scale that measues practical governing diligence of these political camps as they relate to mindset and end results....so they are listed here with the most repressive at the top to the most free and the bottom:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type 1&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Classic Imperilist" (Imperial Rome, European Kindoms, Aristocracy, modern globaism):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am chosen by birth right and divine destiny to rule over the soiled masses and have them do my bidding, till my fields, fight my wars of expansion and service the needs of the nobility class I create to uphold my absolute authority. My whim and will is not to be questioned, it is the extention of divine provedence. The greed, averice, corruption and profligacy of my ilk is above the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Type 2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" Revolutionary" ( Terrorist/anarchist/ Marxist/&lt;/strong&gt;): Personal trama has caused an abnormal personality disorder in me. I spend most of my waking hours focusing my hatred and anger from this past event upon a percieved "political" enemy and wrapping my uncivil criminal and violent agenda in a sanitizing cloak of "a people's political cause". The immediate result of my revolution ranges from social deconstruction and balkanization to anarchy and genocide. The governments I may form rely on fear, intimidation and tyranny to control dissent to my authority. Revolutionary "leaders" share the megalomania of "type 1" autocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Type 3:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" socialist" ( Libber-Dipper)&lt;/strong&gt; : I am basically a sociopathic elitist and have resentment and contempt for most people…this is why I support a party/dogma that treats them all like the stupid greedy children they are. If I can avoid common donkeywork and feather my own nest by organizing/engineering the lives of these hopeless cattle my philosophical goals are met. If I can portray my base instincts and anti-social agendas as moral superiority and be exalted as a commoner's demigod, my intellectual needs are met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type 4:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Progressive”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;(Conservative/Liberal):&lt;/strong&gt; We condemn these elitist social engineering policy assumptions of public retardation and dependence on patronizing subsidy, however we support all the government programs which use them as a basic assumption….besides big government = job security for the unproductive political class (progressives).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Type 5&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Populist (CPC)&lt;/strong&gt; : I have always felt disempowered and want a say. If folks vote for big Gummint and Kleptocratic welfare statism folks should get big Gummint and Kleptocratic welfare statism, as long as it’s ratified by the majority and we get to look over the cooked books once in a while. A democratic majority can justify anything. As long as democratic process is served the mob rules...no matter what it is they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Type 6:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Libertarian" (Classic Liberals; JS Mill, Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Milton Friedman) :&lt;/strong&gt; I have been directly deprived of property and prosperity by the actions of large out of control government. Therefore I believe the government which governs least governs best , the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the individual citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression. Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, and politicians. All three need close supervision and accountability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Type 7:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"Constitutionalist" (free patriots, Andrew Jackson, William Lyon Mackenzie ):&lt;/strong&gt; I have suffered personal loss from government greed and corruption. I realize fear is the foundation of most governments, and the law and constitution must limit the amount of coercive fear a government can hold over its constituents. People should not be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. When government fears the people we have civil democracy when people fear the government we have statist tyranny. A publicly accountable executive bureaucracy and judiciary and the civilian right to arms and self defense are the best insurance against tyranny of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;We have not seen "type 1" for some time but disciples to this political belief system do survive today and they have gravitated to global political policy organizations which have undue influence on sovereign free state government....CFR, Trilateral, Bilberberg groups, Club of Rome, UN policy committees...all good examples of the type 1 political personality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Type 2 pretty much ran it's course in the early and mid 20th century and its 2 largest experiments failed and now embrace mid- 19th century "robber baron" ologopolist capitalism. We see "romantics" in the decadent American and European urban landscapes keep the romance of the revolutionaries alive in Campus fringe politics and far left social causes. Castro refuses to die but when he does Cuba will follow Russia and China into corrupted globalist capitalism...that leaves us Kim in Koera and his pals in the Islamic Jihadi movements as type 2 proponents...their Mullahs are losing ground daily to western liberalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In North America we had our nations founded by type 7 and 6 politics but have degenerated to types 5, 4 and 3 as particapatory democracy declines and accountability of government is obscured by the expansion of the centralized mega-state and the limited information from a controlled corporate media. Type 6and 7 politics arises mostly in patriotic fringe politics these days which the decadent and corrupt power brokers of type 3,4,5 politics would dearly like to falsely label as a type 2 "terrorism" and purge from the political landscape in North America....it is a sad statement on North American decline that we have devolved from Libertarian Constitutionalists into populist-socialist-progressives who see the nation's founding principles as "dangerous".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in summary all politics in play in modern governnace these days fit one or a combination of the 7 types of state craft. &lt;strong&gt;It is statecraft we see at the street level NOT Partisan politics&lt;/strong&gt;...it is political brand loyalty hokum and partisan roll playing we see in the public political theater...it is a branded, packaged product of manipulative tribalizing bunk...all practial applications of politics at play in Canadian governing show a mixture of types 3 through 5 which spreads widely throughout the party system...there is no pure conservative, liberal or socialist party.....they have elements of type 3/4/5 in all parties.....that is how vastly compromised politics have become in the modern super state..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;..the result is our democracies are becoming stagnated and politically inbred by a defacto single party state that hands off leaders in an election every 4 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-6377404819835694495?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/6377404819835694495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=6377404819835694495' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/6377404819835694495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/6377404819835694495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2007/03/political-landscape-how-it-really-lays.html' title='Political landscape: How it really lays out'/><author><name>W.L.

They expect us to swallow the perverse logic of righteous civil indignation to open civil injustice as being rightfully restricted ONLY to those effected...that anyone who is not a resident in the immediate locale where an ongoing crime is being committed should have no opinion and have no constitutional say in the matter...they are "outsiders".("Outside" the sphere of McGuinty’s double standard martial law zone?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this myopic and civilly irreprehensible argument ignores the fact that in a civilized constitutional democracy when one citizen's rights and reputation are openly violated by uncivil authority...we have all have been attacked by extension...because if it can happen to one person it can just as easily happen to us all....and if we allow a constitutional breech and civil injustice to stand unchallenged, a precedent has been set for further abuse of the rule of law by recusant authority and criminals alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All free Canadians are affected by authoritarian inequity committed on our fellow countrymen...in a more universal sense, all men are effected by injustice and lawlessness...it's called human empathy... an officially tolerated crime against one is a breech of justice to us all...this principle sent Canadians off to die on foreign shores defending oppressed peoples from criminal injustice…this Jim has so emotionally articulated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tyranny is defined as a state where there is no civil justice for the oppressed and where the law exists to protect the oppressor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caledonia is a microcosm of this definition...and it SHOULD trouble "outsiders"!!....if they have a modicum of civil ethos, empathy and civil self respect. The people of Caledonia are under constant threat by an ongoing criminal action which the police function continues to tolerate. The Ontario police function in Caledonia has demonstrated they will not make arrests of criminals of a certain race and ethnicity due to a political directive given them from Government which operates aside and apart from the constitutionally demanded process of the rule of law. This political directive over riding our constitution has left citizens of this town at the mercy of the tolerated lawlessness of a politically defined ethnic group. Section 15 of the charter is in tatters in Caledonia. This state of lawless intimidation has existed for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These besieged Caledonia citizens need help…they need help from all Canadians &lt;strong&gt;who value the uncorrupted rule of law…..because this COULD come to YOUR community if you do nothing….You are NOT an “outsider”…&lt;/strong&gt;every Canadian who watches an ongoing crime which police refuse to resolve is a witness to a crime…you are involved…if you don not want to march in the cold for your fellow Canadian’s rights to be free from “discretionary” lawlessness…then write a letter to your MPP and MP and the PM….write a letter to an editor…do something…you are not an “outsider” you are a witness to a crime…a breech of your charter and this nation’s equitable rule of law!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously the police state attitudes making the "official" public statements on this matter feel Mark and Gary’s civil responsibility and human empathy as "outsiders" should be criminalized...or at least publicly defamed….They are claiming a police monopoly on interpretation of the law and the constitution…they are replacing/ignoring the courts in their thought word and deeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you get this attitude from the people who are charged with protecting our charter rights, you know our freedoms and democracy are in serious decay from "official" neglect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the length of this missive Mark but your post inspired me to get more people involved and politically active in restoring the rule of law in Caledonia-Canada…last time I looked Caledonia was not “outside” Ontario or Canada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;WLM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-116967759882077675?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/116967759882077675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=116967759882077675' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/116967759882077675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/116967759882077675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2007/01/calls-for-equal-application-of-law.html' title='Calls for equal application of the Law called &quot;outsider public mischief&quot; By Cop  Brass'/><author><name>W.L.

"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;I guess the Tories forgot the millions in compensation they voted for ( along with the McGuinty Libranos) to pay Calidonia retailers and other property owners and the Millions in promised budgetary hush money to the County of Haldimand and the town council of Calidonia to keep mum about all the incidents of violence and property damage caused by the suspension of the rule of law in Caledonia by McGuinty's Mounties (OPP). If they admit to $55 million then you know it's closer to 60-70 million with all the other expenses burried in operational budgets providing plausable deniability in cost-linking them to this needless Caledonia dispute.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dyslexic Optics &amp;amp; Bizzaro Value Systems:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;So what can we pull from these two latest revelations about Leviathan's distorted civil optics and bizzaro value systems? Well, put it this way; I wonder if Dolton's hand was shaking when he grabbed the 25% pay increase he voted himself....was there even a moment of guilt for taking a reward for such dismal mismanagement of the public funds and the rule of law? Similarly the opposition should have rejected this pay increase out of principle as they have been no opposition at all....in most cases rubberstamping or having minor technical complaints about McGuinty's wonton squandering of the public trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;From our perspective ( the tax burdened struggling middle class) we have to wonder what euphoric drugs they are passing out in government that allows them to think that a dismal and semi criminal work record is grounds for a pay hike and not a pink slip or a jail cell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Next installment of "Priorities" we will look at the crisis in civil optics of the McGuinty crime syndicate, as he continues to allow leviathan to deficate on the constitution, civil liberty and the charter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-116714896329874019?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/116714896329874019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=116714896329874019' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/116714896329874019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/116714896329874019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/12/matter-of-priorities-part-ii.html' title='A Matter Of Priorities Part II'/><author><name>W.L.

In that time the more viral elements of the Leviathan state have remained quite busy undermining democracy, society, culture and morality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They never sleep and they never disappoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of this reality this blog will take a slight change of direction and start tracking the machinations of what we consider the criminal nature of large, unaccountable, ethically challenged government/bureaucracy and its special interest clients and homogeneous corporate organs...collectively refered to here as &lt;strong&gt;"the Leviathan"&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;"Leviathan state"&lt;/strong&gt; . Also, in the spirit of HL Mencken, we will also be commenting on the obscene contrasts between the "entitlements", actions and lifestyles of the stilted minions of the leviathan state and those they leave to the captive plebeian citzenry who must keep and feed this gluttonous diabolical travesty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Main Entry: le·vi·a·than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:popWin(" wav="leviathan')&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Pronunciation: li-'vI-&amp;-th&amp;amp;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Function: noun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin, from Hebrew liwyAthAn1 a often capitalized : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;a : sea monster defeated by Yahweh in various scriptural accounts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;b : a large sea animal2 capitalized : the political state; especially : a totalitarian state having a vast bureaucracy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;3 : something large or formidable &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Today's crime from Laviathan comes to me as a comparative realization revealed through 2 media; the papers and the mail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;THE CRIME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;I scanned the headlines in a number of GTA based papers today and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.canada.com/topics/finance/story.html?id=0f42ca87-0b0c-468f-8427-797883123781&amp;amp;k=12025"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the big buzz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;is about the province's private/public utility "Hydro one" and an ex executive who resigned under a cloud of disgrace from mismanagement and credid card fraud under his watch, was awarded a 3 million dollar severence package for his crimes. It's obvious that the public utility is so rife with nepotism/cronyism/partisnism and criminal breech of public trust, that it would embarass McGuinty to fight this crook in the courts to stop him from further robbing the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in essence Leviathan is free spending with the money it extrots from us when one of it's own turns rogue or criminal....hush money to keep poor management and criminal breech in public service out of the public eye....the Caledonia tab of 40 million is a similar expence to bury criminal breech of trust by leviathan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;IN CONTRAST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;At the same time, the sound bites on the public utility $3M scandl was bleating from my radio, I was opening my Dad's mail and doing his business for him ( He's a 94, he's deaf, has Altzheimer's and lives on 3 small pensions , so I must assume power of attorney and do his business for him). I open one of the pension cheques and there is a self promoting blub from the Provincial minister of pensions crowing about how &lt;strong&gt;things are running so well in the Ontrario government that they can afford to give my pensioned Father a whole $3.50 cost of living increase on his pention...&lt;/strong&gt;this added to the COL increase from the CPP gives a grand total of $7.80 COL increases in his pensions.

It's the only one who is defending the children who are dying . . . ," said Fatima Mustapha, 20, a Montrealer who spent the past five years in Lebanon leading up to the recent evacuation."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm sounds like a fellow who doesn't know Canadian citizenship does not demand the Canadian government become embroid in the tribal scrapping and neolithic polictics back in his country of origin....perhaps if he feels this strong about "hezbollah protecting us" he should go and join their efforts, because Hezbollah sure as hell does not protech MY interests or Canada's....this man obviously has a citizenship identity crisis.....and speaking of Citizenship dyslexia... it was revealed in the BBC reports last week that the largest portion of the "Canadians" evacuated from Lebanon lived there full time and just had a Canadian passport or citizenship as a matter of "convenience", one wonders how many of these "Canadians of convenience" were at the anti Harper/anti Israeli demonstrations....seems to me making the effort to evacuate them and save their lives had little reciprocal gratitude.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-115478977266313019?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/115478977266313019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=115478977266313019' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115478977266313019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115478977266313019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/08/domestic-intifada-against-harper-by.html' title='The domestic Intifada against Harper by Canadians of &quot;convenience&quot;.'/><author><name>W.L.

Your duty to a healthy multi-party democracy has been satisfied by this single trip to the polls and attention to issues for 15 minutes of one day every 4-5 years...you feel no need to think about "boring" politics again until next election. Politics are "yucky" and not talked about in the circles you run in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) You hold your nose and vote for one of a slate of candidates and parties who you feel have a history of conflicted interests in a political system you feel breeds self interest....you are the second generation in your family that feels this way....you wonder why you go through the motions every 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C) You have actively supported the campaign of a candidate who swins out of the mainstream of corrupt status quo politics and is deeply passionate and proncipled about returning lost freedoms, liberty and prosperity to his constituents and returning honor and principle to public office....he sees his election to office as a duty and honor to serve his nation and NOT a career with great perks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;7)&lt;/span&gt; When another ex-cop, or intelligence agent, bureaucrat or MP blows the whistle on another government scandal, you:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) Put it down to just so much sour grapes from someone who didn't have the loyalty required to climb the civil service career ladder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) Are outraged and shocked at those fellow citizens who are not outraged. You feel that when people who kill, spy, steal and lie for a living tell us that even they think the government has gone too far we better damn well listen and act on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;8)&lt;/span&gt; Even though you are aware of secret police agencies like CSIS and special departments of the RCMP which mimic the qiasi-secretive domestic spy agencies in the US, you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) don't concern yourself with the workings of secret government police and spy agencies and feel that if they exist they exist to be doing the overall will of the people. Accountability is unneccessary because secret police forces are well intentioned and look out for our best interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) shudder with dread at the inevitable civil dangers when outraged citizens attempt to put this evil anti-democratic genie back in the bottle when its unaccountability to the law, constitution or common morality causes it to go rogue as history has dictated all such secretive unaccountable para-governmental criminal organizations do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;9)&lt;/span&gt; When a victim of crime is saved from injury by the swift intervention of a fellow citizen and the police spokes-thingie warns you not to do this...to not attempt to intervine in a on going crime or even offer defensive resistance to a criminal, just dial 9-1-1 as only the police are authorized to deal with criminals and keeping the peace, you:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) obey unflinchingly and accept this abandonment of your civil duty as it fits your craven servile nature and absolves you of your responsibility for your personal safety and that of your fellow citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) feel outrage at the nation's largest governmental lobby (the police) are claiming an absolute monopoly on the use of justified defensive force. You harbour an abiding contempt for the incivility and immorality in this dyslexic police-state policy which renders you defenseless yet absolves police from providing the needed protection of your personal security. You bite your lip and grudgingly obey while grumbling about the type of insanity that increases criminal victimhood by outlawing justified use of armed defensive force by citizens in the absence of police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C) You make effective provisions for your own self defense, that of your loved ones and your friends and neighbours which does not have official sanction from the social engineers who now corrupt the police and justice functions. You hope you never have to confront an armed criminal but * IF*  you do...you have resoleved to do what must be done to stop the attack and disregard politically motivated prosecution of your self defensive actions until your trial...at least you will be alive to testify to a jury of your peers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;10)&lt;/span&gt; When you read of another unaccountable high court judge "reinterpreting" or "reading into" the Charter or constitution something that is clearly not written there, you:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) Figure these people know what they're doing...that's what law school was for...besides, you don't know anthing about the legalese in those confusing constitutional papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) You see a dangerous precedent of an unaccountable Jurocracy unilaterally changing our declaration of rights and freedoms outside the democratic formula for change stated in the chartering document. You worry that there may be a new elite unaccountale oligarchy of Jurocrats forming that have the ability to supercede the will of the people and the authority of their elected representatives. Jurocrats making and changing laws without parliamentary consensus and without public accountability scares the begeezus out of you because historically, nations who have a judiciary which can do this thrived in an atmospere of authoratarian tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C) You write your MP with your concerns about judicial unaccountability and political activists with agendas legislating from the bench. You talk to your neighbors about addressing this in the next election at a candidate meeting. You continue to stir the pot at a grassroots level until there is a groundswell movement for Judicial reform which politicians cannot ignore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;11)&lt;/span&gt; You find the questions in this civil responsibility questionaire:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) disturbing and unneccessary in the current utopian state we live in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) Disturbing and has issues which need your personal action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C) Disturbing but you have been actively working to wake your fellow citizens to the degenerated democracy, ethics in government and our civil institutions and have been working to elect people who feel the same as you do about responsible citizenship in a free and open socierty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scoring;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 or more "A" answers: you're a write-off as person and a responsible citizen. You are just wasting space and air in a free civil society. We should chip in for a one way flight to Cuba for you as this seems to be your ideal society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 or more "B" answers: You are waking up, keep your eyes and ears open, use your reason and refuse to drink the poisoned Koolade of the "official" spin and policy. You realize now that creeping "statism" under the guise of "progressiveism" is the true enemy of our free democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 or more "C" answers: You're in the trenches and facing the ugly face of the sprawling leviathan state. Keep your mind clear, your back covered, your intent pure and your powder dry....we need you to help save this nation from blindly falling down the rabbit hole of overbearing statism.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-115446408743228388?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/115446408743228388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=115446408743228388' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115446408743228388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115446408743228388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/08/take-secure-citizen-test.html' title='Take the secure citizen test'/><author><name>W.L.

Some so-con Religious folks were pondering if we were in their biblical "end times given the state of corruption in governments and in global politics....here's my answer to them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;"End times"? Possibly...society is always changing.....for the 300 years since the commonlaw constitutional renaissance, we have been EVOLVING as societies...expanding personal freedoms and empowerments of the common citizen, disempowering Monarchs and limiting the autocratic power of elected representatives....recently though ( past 30 years) we seem to be having a phenomenon of a world-wide contraction of individual freedom and commonlaw liberty in the free western nations ( a DEVOLUTION if you will)...and an ascension of the omnipotent state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...our governments are becoming more authoritarian, unaccountable and corrupt...they have expanded the power of the secular mega-state to alarming levels where individual liberty is on the virtual edge of extermination and civil rights are deemed to be the property of an unelected Jurocracy which has degenerated our traditional rights into mere privileges to be repealed at the will of a cloistered statist oligarchy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days you need virtual government permission to do anything...licences, permitting, taxing and regulation pervade the most mundane aspects of our existence....now this new government directive of mass domestic surveillance threatens what little privacy we had left and puts the state (big brother or "the beast" depending on your ideology) literally in your pocket on your phone calls and emails and soon will be following you everywhere with police video surveillance cameras popping up like mushrooms in public places, over stop lights, along hiways and shopping malls...these can and have been tied into biometric and RFID tagging and tracking technology...tracing and logging all your moves and actions...pilot projects have taken place in the UK and France, and in this country we have the technology infrastructure to link up all these surveillance/ID technologies to central data base computers.....a literal realization of Orwell's nightmare is on the horizon if we fail to roll back the expansion of the leviathan state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who do subscribe to the Revelations version of religious prophesy, they may remember the passages about the end days under the antichrist requiring all men to carry the "mark of the beast" in order to buy sell or travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be shocked if you do some google searches on biometric ID and RFID tracking technology, read it's potential in application when tied into existing government data collection media and then, contemplate the fact that all the free western nations are contemplating or have enacted these citizen tracking systems to one degree or another...RFID tagging and linked biometric -video tracking are in effect in the UK...Texas wants to RFID tag its motorists and their cars and tie their biometric driver's licence into banking, commercial transactions and government statute enforcement computer systems...they want to expand this into a national initiative....by 2008 FEMA has dictated that all US citizens must carry a national ID card to be allowed to travel domestically and to receive government services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....Stockwell Day has recently resurrected a dead Liberal bill to require Canadian citizens to carry a biometric national ID card and a biometric passport both of which will eventually be required to travel internationally or domestically and to claim government benefits and services....&lt;br /&gt;1984 or the end times...it's all a matter of degrees and perspective isn't it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-115444637795505083?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/115444637795505083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=115444637795505083' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115444637795505083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/115444637795505083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/08/end-times-or-realization-of-1984.html' title='&quot;End times&quot; or the realization of 1984?'/><author><name>W.L.

Even Multi-cult moonbats can't justify the level of anti-Canadian, uncivil hate-filled rhetoric and fanaticism that Hindy and his ilk spew.

I just wanted to reframe things in rational perspective before we look at all the disinformation cult that the Kleptocrats keep on speed dial whenever critical flaws in their con game require the public be reindoctrinated with lies about gun control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First let’s start with the outright lies we saw repropogated this week in defense of an inoperable and 1000% over budget government project.:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First to bat were our favorite lobbyists in blue, the detached political leadership of the police function…they retell&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cdnshootingsports.org/police_use_of_registry_exaggerated.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;this whopper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;about A) the registry saving lives ( no data exists to back this claim and no case or record exists where the registry was directly responsible for solving a violent gun crime or prosecuting a single violent armed criminal or capturing an armed criminal before the fact…. And (B) the system is accessed 6000 times a day and is a “useful crime fighting tool…even though this is a gross exaggeration of the truth. The fact is ALL police inquiries ( even if they stop you for J-walking) automatically route to the gun registry and this is no indication of the quality of data or usefulness of the access to the police…a measurement of use is not a measurement of value….and the Auditor made this clear in her report. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Whatever police political lobbyists are saying, it appears&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.garrybreitkreuz.com/publications/policequotes.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;they are lying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;when they misrepresent what the rank and file police have said in the past. The police are deeply divided on the issue….as is the Liberal party itself. The thing about this that should concern Canadians is that it establishes the police as the nation's largest political lobby and as an unelected social policy extention of government. The police function is becoming too politicized and too focused on influencing government. They need to return to the roll of a non partisan peace officer corps. instead of a stilted special interest political lobby brokering public policy favors for funding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Second, we have the voice of the Liberal party ( the Star)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/oplr5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;exhuming the rantings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;of a long time discredited anti gun hysteric from Down under who attempts to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://members.ozemail.com.au/~confiles/buyback.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;misrepresent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/Chronicles/October2003/1003Kopel.html"&gt;failed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;gun control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;policies of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,18950031-7583,00.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;PM John Howard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;and then attempts to scold Harper for not following this proven failed policy. Of course Harper is too savvy to bite at this old canard so the Star went into emotion mode by exhuming old anti-gun Fembots to fill the editorial pages with lies and fearmongering. The Star knows that when lies fail fear is a great manipulator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Third we see the tired old fembot lobbyist Wendy Cukier (Canada’s Liberal party sponsored anti gun hysteric) on speed dial to all the usual lib-left MSM offering single sided disinformation on the firearms act the CPC is constructing. It’s hard for her to forget her previous job as a government supported lobbyist to provide the needed doctored crime stats ( Lies sold as a statistic) that defrauded parliament into this boondoggle 15 years ago. It was the blind acceptance of her fraudulent statistics and vacant emotional rhetoric that swayed the senate into committing to the unamended gun control enabling legislation as a “crime fighting tool” 12 years ago….. To date we have yet to se a documented instance of her 2 billion dollar scam effecting violent criminals. Her job this week was to counter spin the Auditor general’s damning fiscal report on the gun registry where we found open collusion between top gun control bureaucrats and Liberal ministers to hide millions in broken system overruns and defraud parliamentary reporting committees that the registry was “working”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again we saw the same chronically tired emotional misdirects and fraudulent statistics used to keep this white elephant registry in place. So in honor of the stoic efforts of the nation’s moonbat brigade who doggedly fight against reality I offer the following: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;The top 10 reason why the duck gun registry should be kept intact:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#10 To keep dyslexic bureaucrats, lobbyists and contractors employed, reward the mentally and morally retarded with plump public service pork.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#9 The government has way too much money, let’s openly waste it and wave our putz in the public’s face.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#8 Taxpayers aren't paying enough money, put those shiftless dogs to work for another 2 months before tax freedom day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#7 Show those snotty Conservatives who's boss, being kicked out of power never humbles true Liberal hubris. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#6 Serve as a template for a future silverware registry, or citizen registry when we put RF ID chips in you at our happy face fun clown citizen tagging centers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#5 Make Jean Chretien feel good about himself, Jean revels in deep personal satisfaction when Canadians are being robbed….makes it all seem worth while somehow. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#4 Continue to keep our cities' streets safe from duck hunters and antique dealers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#3 To show the Americans we know better, our Kleptocracy is better than your lousy inalienable civil rights.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#2 Keep Jack Layton from being assassinated, well, with a duck gun anyway….we realize most Canadians would just rather bludgeon him to death with his own ego.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;And the number one reason why we should keep the Canadian Gun Registry intact:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mutualist.org/id7.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;#1 Because it's all about Spiteful Liberal social engineering being sold as Canadian Values….damn the costs the sacred utopian myth of the criminal duck hunter must survive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114847751031919594?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114847751031919594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114847751031919594' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114847751031919594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114847751031919594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/05/lies-constable-told-me.html' title='Lies the Constable told me'/><author><name>W.L.

At one point, the speaker implored the audience to &lt;strong&gt;resist all such gag laws in the name of “democracy,” which he believed guarantees “free speech,”&lt;/strong&gt; and this got me thinking again about the history of democracy and how it is today considered a philosophy, whereas in fact I have come to see more and more that it is not a philosophy (although it may become easily confused with, or mated with one), but rather &lt;strong&gt;it is a methodology for deciding who shall rule&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;As George Jonas reminded us during a wonderful dinner speech that night, &lt;strong&gt;it was democracy that brought us Hitler&lt;/strong&gt;, and has recently brought us Hamas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;It seems to me &lt;strong&gt;we have to be careful when promoting “democracy” as a guarantor of free speech&lt;/strong&gt;. For there is no reason (no democratic reason) why 51% of the people cannot have a gag law if they want one. Seems to me that free speech is an inheritance, not of the democratic tradition, but of a far older classical liberal tradition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I was criticizing how &lt;strong&gt;democracy has been made a modern fetish&lt;/strong&gt;, and did I think that free speech was more important than democracy? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The fact that most Western democracies no longer allow “free speech” even to the degree we enjoyed a half century ago (let alone many centuroies ago) and that all now have human rights tribunals and re-education programs of Orwellian dimensions, – all this suggests to me that although &lt;strong&gt;we now have more democracy, we are less free&lt;/strong&gt; "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;More democracy and less freedom....how true! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Canadians, (most of who got their education from public institutions which has produced a generation who cannot name the provincial capitols), have been indoctrinated to believe Democracy is a cure-all for tyranny. In reality (an absolute practical paradigm)....Democracy is nothing more than 2 wolves and chicken voting on what to have for dinner. Democracy has been served by the vote and mandate and the Chicken's hideous demise is deemed to be "just" under democratic doctrine. Democarcy is orderly mob rule.....and the "just" outcome from a majority mandate is what ever the manipulators of the mob desire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;As Mr. Gairdner alludes to, freedom of speech is a mutually exclusive function to the process of democracy......it is the cornerstone of free society....the right to criticize, express new ideas, dissent from philosophies and majority fetishes deemed errant by an individual or a free association of individuals... a vehicle for expression that moves a open society forward through public discourse and concensus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Free speech, along with the other core civil freedoms, was not a direct product of the democratic process, but of eras of armed conflict and spilled blood by our ancestors who fought the tyranny of an autocratic ruling class to secure commoner rights (or more precisely, civil liberty)....a ruling class which claimed authority either by divine commission or patrician mandate....which had to be threatened or deposed to wrest the civil freedoms non patrician classes enjoy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Democracy (a populist system of chosing a ruler) is only a useful method for a free and vigilant people to ensure that freedom-friendly governments are elected....this breaks down when the voting mob have lost their passion and vigilence to remain free or have been manipulated into surrendering their freedoms to a more statist governing ideal....as they did in soviet Russia and national socialist Germany....or the single party state envisioned by Canada's partisan utopians...all of which by the way have democratic elections. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114770573944995884?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114770573944995884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114770573944995884' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114770573944995884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114770573944995884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/05/fetish-of-democracy-and-ottawa-chokers.html' title='The &quot;Fetish&quot; of Democracy and the Ottawa Chokers'/><author><name>W.L.

The forces behind this massive mobilization of capital and military and political might are bipartisan and united in their resolve to reach for the global apple. Utopian democracy, moral narcissism and certainly individuals are moot to their focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is necessary for free citizens of the west not to get carried away by the raging partisan dys-info wars and diverse partisan cult rhetoric that would have us either mindlessly submit ourselves as good robots of the new empire to march off and be ground up in a perennial foreign war economy or succumb to cowardly anti-west Islamo-terrorist apologist theories that weaken our chances of coming out of this mess with our freedoms and way of life intact. &lt;strong&gt;We will ALL ( left, right and center) be strained to the max as free nation citizens trying to contain the military corporate aggression needed to win the global economic-domination wars.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Patriots have to keep this raging military-expansionist monster on a leash and focused on our real enemies rather than let it get out of hand&lt;/strong&gt; and turn our free nations into armed camps and paranoid police states under trans-global profiteering elite governance. Patriots must support effective policy to defeat our enemies but they must also staunchly resist and defeat any government attempt to cut the populous out of the political mechanisms that allow them to control the political influence the military industrial complex wields and the security cartels that empower it in empire building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are certainly challenges a tests of faith and strength ahead for both western culture Christendom, civil liberty and our free democracy...let's not divert our focus from our objectives with illusory, diversionary and de-unifying bickering between factions caught up in the now irrelevant left-right political paradigm&lt;/strong&gt;…the global titans waging war have no political stripe or ideology except the single minded need for the expansion of their power and influence. We can harness this to get us past the mad-hatter politics of the terrorist cults and help tame this terror demon and thrive in the enhanced economic security and freedom this will afford the west….BUT &lt;strong&gt;we have to remain ever vigilant and aware of the snarling monster imperialist war- state we have fighting for us….it is a genie out of the bottle for the first time in nearly a Century&lt;/strong&gt; and as a generation we have to learn the lessons of history as to how the imperialist rulers of “empire” are prone to create police states in their homeland and economic-political class structures or elite class unilateral politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get it though our heads that the volatility of the Middle east and Islamic Jihad plus the impending economic and military aggression unleashed by the new American/alliance empire (Countered by red China’s neo economic imperialism) will require a generation of hard policy making and resolve by the west. &lt;strong&gt;It ain’t white hats and black hats any more kids, both the players are anti-heroes and battling for empire….not democracy,… not for individual liberties,….not for the better good of the individual or any other idealistic dogma.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Raw power now stalks global affairs…we have to learn how to deal with it, make it work for us and put it back in the bottle when its usefulness is done so it does not turn on its own people.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114736252442319976?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114736252442319976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114736252442319976' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114736252442319976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114736252442319976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/05/stark-realities-in-age-of-empire.html' title='Stark realities in the age of &quot;Empire&quot;'/><author><name>W.L.

What does the Liberal agenda have against guaranteed individual property rights ( I mean, it was a Liberal who drafted and signed the UN declaration of human rights which guarantees property rights yet a Liberal excluded them from our charter????)....as for consent, why would a Liberal want to take nearly pubescent children out of control of their parents or make them a legal target for sexual predators or state sponsored eugenics ghouls?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you can decipher the common ground that the degenerate socialist (BQ) and the liberals share on the issues of private property and parental control, you will be half way to comprehending the unstated social control agenda of their single party state utopia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114597410532157344?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114597410532157344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114597410532157344' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114597410532157344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114597410532157344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/degenerate-dogmatism-moves-from-pmo-to.html' title='Degenerate dogmatism moves from the PMO to the opposition benches'/><author><name>W.L.

There is a simple reason.  &lt;strong&gt;CO2 attenuates IR radiation in only two relatively narrow bands.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;CO2 is transparent to heat energy in other wave-lengths.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;The current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere (~380ppmv) is absorbing almost all of the energy available in those bands&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Therefore, doubling the CO2 concentration will not double – or for that matter, significantly increase, the so-called ‘green-house effect’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, if the public can be convinced that CO2 is evil, it leaves open the door for ‘control’&lt;/strong&gt; of the ‘source’ of evil CO2.  That ‘source’ is of course, petroleum and to a lesser extent, coal.  Petroleum and coal provide industrial power.   Industrial power equates to economic power.  A strong economy supports strong political entities. &lt;strong&gt; Control petroleum resources and control of the rest follows naturally.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Aren't you glad we have pompous earth saving politicians to interpret real science and then rob us with scary tales....again my mentor is proven correct:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

The road to utopia may be paved with good intent however those who propose to drive the public bus on it are steering towards dystopia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge those who would reflexively dismiss my analysis as “liberal or lefty whining” by reading the acts themselves as I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" but the outcry against it is healthy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Healthy outcry” is pointless if it does not effect change….and the Federal administration and pentagon is dug in on the draconian homeland security issue.  Those senators and congressmen who want either sunset clauses on these laws or amendments that respect the constitution outnumber “as is” supporters 2-1 YET…Bush (urged on by pentagon and intelligence community brass) has gone as far as to say if congress fails to pass it as is he will veto…..how can healthy protest effect anti-democratic demigods? There certainly was an out cry when the patriot act's suspension of the constitution and implementation of FEMA dictatorship was given a trial run in the New Orleans flood....military, door to door civilian round ups and disarmament in dry unaffected areas...military sealing the city off from outside private relief aid...forced interments in filthy crime ridden FEMA "compounds" which where secured with armed guards and razor wire.  Yes there was a protest but Republicans/conservatives with partisan blinders on dismissed it as coming from the "radical leftists".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah right....had I been confronted in my undamaged/secure NOLA home (and castle) by machine gun toting Kevlar clad masked Fed  goons screaming their obscenities and demanding my "surrender" of  lawful arms and property, and to have me forcibly thrown into some filthy, crime-ridden FEMA interment camp that is far less secured or supplied than my home, I'd give them the civilian patriot  war these Fed-indoctrinated Stazi goons so dearly want…send unmarried goons to my doorstep big brother...now go call me a left wing radical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I maintain that “healthy outcry” is pointless in the midst of a police state take over ( like New Orleans) as martial law steamrolls all under its military weight. Actually “healthy outcry” is useless and only serves to identify “dissidents” for the police state…..Protest against tyranny is pointless unless the public has the means to enforce its will on reluctant would be dictators…there was plenty of “healthy outcry” in Hungary, the Ukraine, Lithuania and Georgia as the soviet tanks and troops came in to establish military law after the “lawless democratic elections”…..keep your battle rifle oiled and out of sight of big brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Canadian version of the US Patriot act does not go so far as to impose police state solutions but it does suspend 3 Charter legal rights, expands warrentless search and seizure, allows police/government to spy on all citizens ( open their mail/email/phone communications),  authorizes video/audio surveillance of civilians without bench warrant) and suspends habeas corpus…if you see police video cameras blooming in public places like spring crocus on the prairie, you know where the authorization came from to negate your charter right to personal privacy…..big brother is watching!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Where's the “healthy outcry” here....nary a peep of protest to the unwarranted expansion of the state and truncation of charter rights…have both left and right lost what little passion they had for individual freedom and rights? This alone makes me feel this nation hasn't the passion to generate the civil outrage needed to remain free….then again Canada was founded as a police state and a benign police state she remains. As Trudeau  prophetically foresaw a quarter century ago;  free Canada will probably die with a muted whimper rather than a roar of civil defiance….death by civil apathy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114564989710343630?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114564989710343630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114564989710343630' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114564989710343630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114564989710343630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/unpatriot-act.html' title='The Unpatriot act'/><author><name>W.L.

Not to cast any dispersion on the patriotic and upstanding Americans of Hispanic descent…the problem revolves around the political agitation of 20 million illegal immigrants ( mostly Mexican) who have adopted an aggressive attitude towards their involuntary host nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Driven by Hispanic &lt;a href="http://www.mayorno.com/WhoIsMecha.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;race politics groups&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/12/8/51548"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;La Raza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.illegalaliens.us/aztlan.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Aztlan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.illegalaliens.us/aztlan.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;MECha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, they stir the race pot with the burgeoning illegal alien community using rhetoric that ranges from utopian welfare to ethnic cleansing of “Americans” from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004848.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;reclaimed Mexican soil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. We see them demonstrate wrapped in Mexican flags and advocating the evacuation of Anglo Americans and the return of Mexican sovereignty in the US. Huge demonstrations are commonplace in the southwest and recently &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,191142,00.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Washington was assailed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;directly with demonstrations demanding citizenship amnesty for the 20 million illegals who are mostly driving the movements to frationalize the US and erase the Mexican border….I wonder if they know the Globalist elites and international financial cartels want the same thing? I think we should do a bit of nosing around to find who is funding these movements….it would prove interesting media fodder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However that may be asking too much of the MSM as they seem to have missed the main events in the hispanic radicalization movements. Pretty big stories to miss but the racial and partisan sanitization of our MSM has created a virtual black out on the illegal alien civil upheavals in the US from Austin to Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To put Atzlan warrior demands in perspective here is what a US citizen should demand of the Mexican government:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Demand bilingual nurses and doctors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Demand free bilingual government forms, bulletins, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Keep your American identity strong in Mexico. Fly Old Glory from your Mazatlan rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window, or on your car bumper. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise..pressure local Mexican government for exclusive all English schools. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Demand a Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in Mexico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Drive around with no liability insurance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Insist that Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Inflate the Average Mexican’s tax burden by burdening social programs and deflate wages by working for subsistence wages for employers who “don’t ask questions” or need a SIN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Form “anglo pride” and “anglo manifest destiny” movements and use them to pressure the Mexican government into complying with your demands. ( can you see how a “white pride or white supremist movement would play with New York Liberals..yet they accept this same racism from illegal Hispanics)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck is right. The Mexican authorities wouldn't put up with that kind of behavior for a second. Mexico guards its borders and has detention camps for 100,000 Guatemalian illegal aliens which it deports along with 1,3 million other south and central American illegals yearly. It would be nice if the US were a little more like Mexico. But for some reason the last 2 Washington administrations will not tackle the now explosive issue of illegal aliens in the US. Will it take a race war cheered on by leftist agitators?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114546626344764849?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114546626344764849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114546626344764849' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114546626344764849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114546626344764849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/american-aztlan-rebellion.html' title='The American Aztlan Rebellion'/><author><name>W.L.

To get Green Utopia we need a global "kingdom" ruled by wize, all powerful philosopher kings which would make me a “global citizen” or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;eco-serf&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually after reading the main pillars of this new global society which will be graciously “sustained” by it’s global oligarchy of corporeal plutocratic lords, I can see how a guy like me would down right offend them and actually screw things up in the long term…..no doubt I ( and my type) have to go….for “global sustainability”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having read the pretexts of this Global utopia I have done some soul searching and now realize………….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY I CAN NEVER BE A “GLOBAL CITIZEN”:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I own my own property and I reject all UN claims on it&lt;br /&gt;2) I have individual rights which are not subject to UN interpretation&lt;br /&gt;3) I own a gun&lt;br /&gt;4) I am prepared to use that gun to protect the above 3 items&lt;br /&gt;5) I am a Christian and choose to express elements of my faith in my life&lt;br /&gt;6) As a Christian I only kneel before God…I kneel to no autocrat or oligarch&lt;br /&gt;7) I refuse to surrender personal or national sovereignty to unelected global bureaucrats&lt;br /&gt;8) I reject Ghia as a false religion and its prophet Moe Strong as a maniac&lt;br /&gt;9) I reject fraudulent pseudo science and refuse to be paniced by a bogus eco-Judgement Day&lt;br /&gt;10) This means I reject greenhouse gas theories, Kyoto and peak oil scares.&lt;br /&gt;11) I refuse to have unelected UN bureaucrats in control of my food or fuel supply&lt;br /&gt;12) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats in charge of my money’s value&lt;br /&gt;13) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats sit in judgement of me in their courts&lt;br /&gt;14) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats in charge of my health options&lt;br /&gt;15) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats regulate my personal mobility&lt;br /&gt;16) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats regulate my reproductive capacity&lt;br /&gt;17) I refuse to have unelected global bureaucrats dictate my child’s educational needs&lt;br /&gt;18) I reject sustainability theories as manipulative fear mongering&lt;br /&gt;19) I’m happy, self reliant, emotionally secure and I need racketeering global politicians even less than domestic ones&lt;br /&gt;20) History tells me the path to Utopia always leads to the gates of hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my mentors once said this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Police functionaries will not fight him for restoration of civil justice or the common people as their political/personal fortunes are tied to those of the autocrat. A totally apolitical police function has always been employed by an autocracy to control the population...it's less about "to serve and protect" as it is “to control and coerce” where the civilian population is concerned. At the upper levels the police function is political and part of political policy enforcement...in any statist authoritarian regime ( such as Dolton's kleptocratic statism) the police function becomes integral in enforcing and promoting "policy" as a primary function. The despot’s personal ideals as expressed in "Policy" IS NOT the law, and often conflicts with the law and civil liberty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the case of this so called gun amnesty, it is just another theatrical placebo meant to dupe the population into the notion that guns are the root of all evil&lt;/strong&gt;/crime...hypocritical at best as police use guns to enforce the peace and protect themselves from criminals at the same time spreading the myth that armed self defense is a right denied the citizen....&lt;strong&gt;the gun is a tool to protect the person behind it.&lt;/strong&gt; This is the reality that Statist left uses propaganda and police state remedies to obliterate a right of free citizenship in the public mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do it &lt;strong&gt;they engage in dozens of asinine theatrics like confiscating kid's water guns or raiding toy stores and "seizing" toy guns&lt;/strong&gt;...or offering "amnesty" for surrendering civilian arms to police (as if they would let a crook go who turned in a gun used in a crime)...totally vacant police state theatrics that obfuscate a more sinister motive....an active state propaganda program focused on obscuring the state’s &amp;amp; police inability to control armed criminals preying on unarmed defenseless civilians. Instead, stigmatization and fear mongering are employed to intimidate citizens into the belief they are powerless unarmed wards of a police state which claims a monopoly on armed self defense, yet that same armed police function demonstrably cannot use that presumed armed force monopoly to adequately defend unarmed law-abiding civilians from armed criminals. In this reality, disarming civilians and criminalizing civil arms ownership is an act of injustice and state immorality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instead of targeting crime the police and irresponsible politicians fear monger and whip up public hysteria&lt;/strong&gt; that attempts to demonize and criminalize lawful civilian arms owners and ownership and stigmatize guns and their defensive use by responsible and capable civilians. &lt;strong&gt;This is probably the greatest case of official blame/responsibility shifting in the modern political age.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does there not seem to be something intrinsically immoral about a state/police function which advocates civilian disarmament and prosecution of those exercising armed self defense, yet is totally incapable of offering armed police intervention in 99% of all violent fatal criminal attacks on unarmed civilians?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;The greatest “official” denial of fact that I have heard in my lifetime is when Liberal deconstructionists started spreading the myth that Canada does not have a “gun culture”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Any historic record of our nation’s development (that has not been politically sanitized) will tell the story of a wilderness that was tamed largely by men exercising the British common law civil right to bear personal arms for personal defense….this was born out throughout our history from the citizen militias in the Galt colonies and war of 1812, to the Steel’s scouts and western militias in the Riel rebellions and the 200 years of Canadian legal judgements that supported a civilian protecting himself, his family and property with a firearm he has a right to own for that purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Canada is awash in arms t built specifically for or in our nation&lt;/strong&gt;; the HBC trade rifles, the trap door Snider Enfield carbines, Martini Enfield carbines and RCMP Winchester 86 Mannlichers....The many locally made percussion pistols and revolvers, Canadian Webley-Scotts and a dozen now defunct brands of Ontario manufactured break-top small caliber revolvers that the Canadian civilian population bought for personal defense in the post confederal era. Then there were the historic Ross rifles and Canadian modified Lee-Enfield #4Mk1 long branch rifle still used by Canadian rangers, the long branch Stirling SMGs…the lowly and well loved Cooey and Lakefield rimfire rifles of the nation’s farmers, trappers and kids. Today we have the Diemaco , timberwolf , para-ordnance. &lt;strong&gt;These are lasting concrete artifacts of Canada’s history and our “gun culture”… a civil and responsible gun culture by all historic fact.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it any wonder that Canada’s deconstructionist utopian left must erase this rich history of responsible civilian firearms ownership&lt;/strong&gt; if they are to usher in their statist socialist dystopia ( complete with police state functions).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it any wonder that the last desparate act of a corrupt Liberal dystopian regime under Martin was to promise a law that would have put 200 years of Canadian historical record into the grinder&lt;/strong&gt;? From The HBC and voyageur belt pistols to Riel’s Colt, to Sam Steel’s Webley to d’arcy McGee’s .32…all would have been taken from museums and collectors to the grinder…all to placate a utopian concept which has never born fruit for anyone other than political dictators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a vast propaganda war raging in this nation and at the center of it is the traditional civilian freedom to own arms….historic fact demonstrates that Canada has a heritage of responsible and traditional civilian firearms ownership.....&lt;strong&gt;Canada's traditional "Gun Culture" are not a problem…except to autocratic regimes&lt;/strong&gt;…you have to ask yourself what sort of agenda a government has which wishes to criminalize and remove the basic civil right to lawful armed self defense while criminal misuse of firearms goes on unaddressed and unabated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Particularly so in the land of anti-gun hysteria and fear mongering Ontario.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114451406258211844?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114451406258211844/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114451406258211844' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114451406258211844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114451406258211844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/mcguintys-final-solution-for-canadian.html' title='McGuinty&apos;s &quot;final solution&quot; for Canadian Gun Culture'/><author><name>W.L.

I was also thinking that we have no term limits in this dysfunctional dominion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Fidel Castro has reiterated he has no plans to retire as Cuba's president after 47 years in power&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was instantly put in mind of all of our home grown politicos and partisan regimes that openly feel they should stay as long as they want...Chretien/PET and ( to a lesser extent) Klein come to mind...also Martin's desperate ethicless soul-selling addiction to the "ring" of power...also the character of "Gollum", Tolkein's conglomerate personification of the soul-sucking lust for power that consumes a man's humanity and makes them a hideous pathetic creature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Mr Castro told Mr Ramonet he would stick to his word, given in 2003 uponre-election by the National Assembly to another five-year term as president, "to serve as long as they wish . . . and I am useful. Not a minute less, nor a second more".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Bush administration has been voicing its concern that Mr Castro's younger brother, the defence minister Raul Castro, 74, will soon take over.&lt;br /&gt;"If something happens to me tomorrow the National Assembly will surely meet and elect him," Mr Castro says, "and so will the political bureau." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also interesting that Cuba's "ill never retire" natural governor and his natural governing party were close political soul mates with PET...another elitist politico unfond of retiring who coined the concept of the "natural governing regime" in our once free and functional dominion of Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting also is the language used by these political elitists and their supporters. They use terms such as "dynasty" and "ruling party " and "heir apparent" instead of administration and elected reps and party leadership candidate.....their references for themselves are trappings from the age of Kings, the aristocratic totalitarianism where absolute power was bequeathed by right of lineage....the term "natural governing party" can also be argued to have its roots in the undemocratic governing concepts of Machiavelli who justified the nobel peerage's  ambitions for power as the "natural governing" right of aspirant aristocrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also incidental is I now hear the sycophant media that promotes the political patrician class of Liberaldom's neo-aristocracy referring to Ignatieff as a "Trudeau legacy" candidate.

It extends an opportunity to dispell a couple of wide spread misconceptions and mythology about socialism, taxes and central banking syndicate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DT says:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;After all, its this ocean of tax-dependant socialists that are the real rulers. How much real change, and how quickly, can actually be enacted.Socialist governments know, that once the bureaucracy and crown corporations reach a certian threshold in size; nothing can stop them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Well DT statist socialism actually relies on credit as they are always over extended...either buying votes or keeping their loyal voting block reliant on endless government subsidy....the result is a tax base that becomes unproductive and unable to pay the principle debt. To pay the debt and become fiscally responsible to the people, the government would have to levy a crushing debt reduction tax regime which would probably tank the fragile socialist state economy. This puts socialist governments endlessly on the hook to the lenders who finance their debt... paying just the interest charges on a massive debt they ring up. ( Canada, US and most of the EU is in this fate)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;The lending institutions that finance these spend=thrift socialist regimes debt rely on the regimes ability to coerce the debt out of its citizens in taxes. It is a socialist government's ability and record to tax in relation to debt servicing charges that the lenders use to secure the loans. This also floats the shakey currency of the debtor nation. Is it any wonder that socialists ideologically denounce capitalism but rely on wealthy capitalist cartels to finance their debt-ridden dystopias. A socialist government thus endebted , of neccesity usually drops all pretense of civility or morality when shaking down its citizens for revenues and becomes a Kleptocracy eventually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If one understands that socialism is NOT a share the wealth plan but a politically actuated plan to consolidate (centralize) power and control of a nation’s wealth, then the paradox of super rich men promoting or financing socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes logical, even the perfect tool for wealthy power-seeking megalomaniacs. ( Moe Strong, Desmarais, Martin, Soros, Armand Hammer, FDR)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Communism, or more accurately super centralized socialism, is not a movement of the down-trodden masses but a political and economic realignment that benefits the political/economic elite who finance and rule it.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;The modern model for this is China which remains a communist kleptocracy which sells legal absolution to foreign capitalists who wish to move productivity into China. The only wealth from this arrangement that stays in China stays in a small group of political racketeers, the overwhelming majirity of Chinese outside the inner political circles do not benefit and remain as poor as before Capitalists invaded China.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Call it communist racketeering...it isn't free market inclusive capitalism...it's economic elitism with a despotic monopolist ethic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114407794493313182?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114407794493313182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114407794493313182' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114407794493313182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114407794493313182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/bankers-socialism-and-taxes.html' title='The Bankers, socialism and taxes'/><author><name>W.L.

The bullying tax courts, strong-arm seizure powers and abusive enforcement mechanisms of the tax regime have been used frequently as weapons against dissenters and political opponents. People who cause federal ruling cartels in national socialist nations any embarassment can ( and are) done away with by the police state tactics used to coerse revenues from the citizenry. America's and Canada's income taxing regimes of private citizens is visible proof there is a totalitarian hand beneath the velvet glove of national socialism ( yes America and Canada both have statist-socialist wealth confiscation-redistribution and are defacto national socialist regimes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps this "fool's day" as we ponder what an extravigant martinet federal regime has shaken us down for in so-called personal income taxes ( which is really run like a criminal &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket"&gt;protection racket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;) , it might serve the cause of reclaiming our nation from the grip of national socialist authoratarianism far better to consider removing the number one tool of civilian intimidation/control this quasi-despotic kleptocracy has at its disposal......a fraudulent claim to directly tax individuals incomes and its uncivil/illegal collection mechanisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is plenty of credible legal precedent and constitutional evidence to say that our Federal government cannot legally tax an individual's means of support directly and that any tax levied on a private individual in a nation under rule of common law must be voluntary....I have researched these claims and found them to be mostly accurate.... but being mirally correct and within legal right means little in a nation where the government acts in a lawless uncivil manner in most of its dealings with the individual.....as national socialism is wont to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the nation recovers from a decade of democractic abuse and despotic national socialism at the federal level, democratic reform has become a rallying cry for all Canadians who still have passion for a free and civil Canada.....let us not forget that tax reform is as important, if not more important, as a tool to control government excess, abuse and corruption.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114398509420226571?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114398509420226571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114398509420226571' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114398509420226571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114398509420226571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/04/harperbush-compact-no-more-income.html' title='Harper/Bush compact: NO MORE INCOME TAXES'/><author><name>W.L.

Yeah ya do.....decades ago THIS was the guy who was the canary in the coal mine warning to the west of Islamic fanaticism and it's fascist embodiment in Islamic governments. He's the guy who first &lt;a href="http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/anglophone/satanic_verses/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;warned &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;us about&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; fundamentalist Imams reinterpreting the Islamic theological texts to suit their new found love of totalitarian control over their people.....as a sign of gratitude Rushdie had a "fatwa" issued against him ( sort of a $2.8 million hit contract paid for by the foamy-mouthed Islamic church).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Well the recent "fatwa" these Islamist foamers have placed on Denmark for that nation's free press publishing some political cartoons the foaming Mullahs took exception to, has reaffirmed Rushdie's warnings about Islam. Rushdie's empathy with these Danish Cartoonists, who now have an Islamist bounty on their heads has inspired him to speak out against this Islamist madness in an Anti-Jihad manifesto. Unfortunately he was joined by some flakey French academics and as usual, they convolute the principles of civil freedom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I applaud this man for risking his life to defend his and our right to freely speak our mind and to oppose totalitarian strictures on the right to read what we chose. Here is an except from &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bluestarchronicles.blogspot.com/2006/02/manifesto-against-islam.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Rushdie's recent " Anti-Jihad manifesto"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;“After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism. We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;secular values&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;for all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;The above sentiment clearly displays Rushdie's passion and commitment to civil freedom but also the manifesto’s major philosophical defects. The defective reasoning is courtesy of the French leftists he has collaborated with on this anti-Islamist statement. It's true Islamism can be considered a perversion of religious faith however, the three terrors of the past century – Fascism, Nazism (National-Socialism) and Stalinism – were certainly &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333333;"&gt;secular ideologies&lt;/span&gt; which produced societies with enforced &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;secular values&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neither Adolf Hitler nor Joseph Stalin were the theocrats to which they are being compared. It takes flakey leftist “French intellectuals” to use the main component of humanity's horribly failed experiment with National-Socialism and Stalinism to create an emotional trigger to oppose “religious totalitarianism” with a battle call for &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;“&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;secular values&lt;/span&gt;,”&lt;/span&gt; which they hold to be “universal values.” All this does is trade secular totalitarinism for non secular totalitarianism. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secularism does not guarantee a civil society, just cultureor human rights as the various 20th century forms of secular statism have demonstrated. It escapes today's secular left (statists) that the civil freedom, human rights and democratic governing systems they enjoy in western free nations are the product of proto-libertarian thinkers and jurists who applied the ethics of the reformed Christian belief system into law, civil institutions and governing systems......the builders of Western culture's greatest triumphs: common law, civil rights, civil liberty, equality under rule of law and representative democracy, were anything but secular. Locke, Blackstone, Jefferson, Hobbs, Paine....all committed Christians who incorporated the inherent respect for life and dignity of the individual of moderated Christiandom into the law and governing institutions of the west's most civilly evolved nations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Today's defenders of western Democracy and civil liberty have no doubt Islamism is a threat to freedom and human dignity. However, as rational libertarians have warned before, some people, undoubtedly brave and well intentioned, but nevertheless mistaken, are prepared to weaken certain basic freedoms, in their fight against Islam and religion in general.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114132968506223277?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114132968506223277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114132968506223277' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114132968506223277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114132968506223277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/03/salman-rushdie-confusing-secular.html' title='Salman Rushdie: confusing &quot;secular values&quot; with freedom'/><author><name>W.L.

In the past weeks we have seen a conserted effort by this militant fanatical Muslim fringe to intimidate western media by whipping the global fantatic muslim network into a "street-mob" frenzie....obviously in Canada, it has worked. Our MSM's virtual blackout on ANYTHING they deem to "provoke" the intolerance of the fantical Muslim brown shirts, signals a defacto dictation of editorial policy by the intimidation of nonsecular street tuggery. ( Remember Hitler's Brown shirts having the same effect on dissenting Gernam editors) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;With a virtual blackout of "provoking" items in our cowering Kanadian MSM we lose needed perspective on the militant Islam issue . Along with the filtering of pertinent news and information, we also see a blackout on the voices of moderate Islam who similarly "provoke" the radicals with their condemnation of their radical agenda..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;...&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;all in the so called need to not "provoke" people who are the sworn enemies of a free press and free society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;In recognition of the many civil Moderate Muslims in Canada who respect and love our open democracy and freedom of expression...and to honor the many brave Mulsims in Iraq and elsewhere fighting for open democracy and civil freedoms against the tyranny of radical Islam, I want to publish the following Statements from the MCC (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.muslimcanadiancongress.org/20060219.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muslim Canadian Congress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;February 19, 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MCC condemns burning of Churches in Pakistan and Nigeria&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MCC urges Muslims across the world to call off demonstrations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;TORONTO - The Muslim Canadian Congress has condemned attacks on Churches in Pakistan and Nigeria that have led to the death of 15 Christians, including women and children. In an appeal to Muslims across the world, the MCC is urging them to resist the temptation of participating in public demonstrations to express their anger at the publication of the demeaning and insulting cartoons of Prophet Muhammad in Denmark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We understand their pain, but Muslims should channel their anger not by burning and pillaging, but by following the example of Prophet Muhammad himself, who urged restraint and calmness in the wake of provocation," said Tarek Fatah, spokesperson of the MCC. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Moderate and humane Islam has a hard time being heard, but when they do get published we are given more accurate insight into&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_fatah/20060210.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the agenda&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;of Radical Islamists:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Using a cartoon crisis to promote a conservative Muslim agenda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;by Natasha Fatah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Last week, in the midst of violent protests and heightened emotions over the Danish cartoons of Prophet Muhammad, a conservative Muslim imam in the Middle East went on television and told more than 200 million people that Danes were burning copies of the Qur'an.&lt;br /&gt;He was lying.&lt;br /&gt;There were only rumours, and no proof, that some Danish Nazis threatened to burn Islam's holy book.This is just one example of how conservative Muslims are manipulating the Muslim population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Naser Khader told me about the incident with the imam. He's a Syrian-born, Muslim liberal member of parliament in the opposition coalition in Denmark, and he says the cartoons are being used by conservative Muslim leaders in Denmark and around the world to push their own agendas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;It follows that if we ( in the west) react predictably... in a militant or radical manner and act with blind emotion in painting all Islam with the same brush, we play into the fanatic's agenda.... we will unwittingly further their agenda by alienating Moderate Islam which is our natural ally in combatting radical Islam's global agenda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Bottom line: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's get Moderate Muslims into the media to combat the frothing manipulative politics of Islamic fanaticism/fascism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-114046241013097067?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/114046241013097067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=114046241013097067' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114046241013097067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/114046241013097067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/02/putting-foamy-mouthed-islam-into.html' title='Putting foamy-mouthed Islam into perspective'/><author><name>W.L.

As an upland hunter and 28 ga. scattergun user of many years, I can attest to the fact the damage done the shooting victim was definitely NOT from a 30 yard shot by "mistake"...at that range I have removed stray pellets that hit the dogs by pinching the skin to pop the 71/2 led pellet out.....for a 28ga. 3/4 oz load of 71/2 pellets propelled by a sub-2 dram powder charge to penetrate a mans tough canvas (blaze orange) hunting coat, ribs, gristle and muscle to lodge a pellet in the heart, and leave a shot pattern about a foot in diameter, the muzzle of that gun had to be closer than 20 feet from the victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line here is we are witness to yet another government cover up and we see that certain politicians are not accountable to the same laws you and I are. Cheney’s story is bogus…..and so obviously bogus anyone with a 20-28 gage shotgun and field loads can confirm it with a simple ballistic test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual the Fed agencies create another magic bullet theory where the scientifically predictable characteristics of projectile ballistics documented in this realm of existence do not apply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I owned 28s and when I was patterning the gun to see its effective range, when I took it out to 30 yards it made a pattern 45 inches in diameter and would barely penetrate a double cardboard backstop with # 71/2 bird shot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why lie this badly? Where is the NRA..surely they should be concerned with the republicans repealing the laws of ballistic physics?....of course if these laws pass as truth it means that if Cheney can damn near kill a man at 30 yards with a 28 ga, field load I can down a bear with a .22 rimfire. ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update: Some&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/cheney_shooting_coverup_in_progress_ballistics.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ballistic authorities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;confim my suspicions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Latest update: From a site hosting the scientific ballistic demonstration that proves Cheney is lying...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/cheney_shooting_scientific_proof.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;a video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;...which profesional hackers tried to wipe from the server 3 times.

Western media who buy into this fanaticism and willingly castrate their right/duty to freely express commentary and criticism of political and religious institutions, are guilty of aiding fanaticism by giving in to it.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;......and isn't this the very nucleus of political correctness.....giving in to fanaticism...willing subordinance or an enforced regime which caters to the inherent intolerance of fantics and their duplicitous orthodoxies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48700"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;An item&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;to illustrate the concept of surrendering to fanaticism:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Hot cross buns too offensive for school&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'I have never heard of anything so ridiculous'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Posted: February 7, 20061:00 a.m. Eastern&lt;br /&gt;© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hot cross buns&lt;br /&gt;A school in the United Kingdom has banned traditional hot cross buns for fear the religious symbol drawn on the top of each roll might offend some students. &lt;snip&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"I would be surprised if anyone was offended," commented the Rev. Haley Dossor, vicar at St Mary-at-the-Elms Church. "It seems to me people in the secular world are scared of religious symbols. The school is quite wrong. All religions should respect each other." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The local pastor of the Jehovah’s Witness congregation applauded the school’s decision. " Hot cross buns are a pagan symbol of fertility no different to bunnies, eggs and Easter.

Moreover, the school did not say whether the buns would be inspected by the local Muslim or Catholic authorities for possible accidental appearances of religious figures in the patterns formed by the currants in the buns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;And the insanity of submitting to fanaticism goes on and on and on......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113959038595304758?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113959038595304758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113959038595304758' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113959038595304758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113959038595304758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/02/surrendering-freedom-to-fanatics.html' title='Surrendering freedom to fanatics.'/><author><name>W.L.

At the time &lt;strong&gt;his government paid more than $470 million in cancellation fees&lt;/strong&gt; to scuttle the deal. But in 1998 &lt;strong&gt;the Chretien government was embarrassed when the EH-101 was once again selected by the Canadian Forces as the best chopper for its search-and-rescue operations&lt;/strong&gt;. Fifteen of those helicopters were bought for that role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agusta-Westland contends the Liberals designed the $5-billion program to buy 28 maritime helicopters in such a way as to prevent the selection of its EH-101 chopper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its statement of claim, Agusta-Westland contends &lt;strong&gt;the Liberal government wanted to ensure the EH-101 didn't win the Sea King replacement contract because it wanted to avoid political embarrassment&lt;/strong&gt;. The firm alleges the Liberals were worried that if the EH-101 did win, the government would be accused of wasting hundreds of millions of dollars in cancelling the first deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Agusta-Westland alleges &lt;strong&gt;the government violated its own procurement rules&lt;/strong&gt; by ignoring the extra costs of operating two different fleets of helicopters. Company officials say that since the military already operates the EH-101 for search-and-rescue missions it would have made financial sense, in terms of training and maintenance, to select the same chopper for its maritime operations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;A scandal a day keeps the Libranos away....man it sucks to be a Librano these days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113863972801454767?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113863972801454767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113863972801454767' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113863972801454767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113863972801454767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/01/first-of-librano-chickens-comes-home.html' title='The first of the Librano &quot;chickens&quot; comes home to roost...'/><author><name>W.L.

AAP is as anemic as the compromising Tories in the face of an aggressive anticonstitutionalist Liberal Ottawa government intent on subjugating Alberta like it does the other reliant wards of its patronage bokering statism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would rather get behind Ted Morton and clean out the dead wood, parasites and Trojan red sleaze bags from the PCPA and make them into a party/dynasty which is staunchly perusing practical provincial autonomy and a renewedconfederacyl deal for Alberta. I'm sure I will be joined by the ever expanding ranks of jaded federalists who see the federal system is too weak to create 1st class confederal partnership for Alberta. Beyond reforming the Provincial Tories, there is a need to build and expand a non partisan autonomy movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prey for Harper to succeed in bringing the constitutional/confederal renewal which will bring inclusion and self empowerment to the peripheral regions of Canada. Harper has a correct and traditional view of proper confederal relations and constitutional governance....but I put my trust in the only political solution to date that ( Quebec) has proven to work against creeping Ottawa autocratic centralized statism. The Alberta autonomy movement must move ahead because this policy will succeed immediately where separatism will not. If Harper succeeds in constitutional revival, fine, we have not wasted our efforts in Alberta autonomy first and our success will aid the constitutional autonomy movement across Canada....If Harper fails, we will have laid the groundwork for autonomous control of our own destiny either inside or outside of confederal ties with Ottawa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond partisan politics and its self serving notions of what is and isn't "Canadian", I am an Alberta patriot first and only extend that loyalty to Ottawa if it persues a course to make my civitzenship of equal value to that of Canadians in Central Canada. I believe the government and people of Alberta epitomize a traditional, free and democratic Canada which is being disassembled in the rest of Canada, outside Quebec and Alberta, by a globalist-statist socialist agenda to sell out individual, provincial and national sovereignty...largely driven by the Liberal party political cabal in central Canada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;This is Canada...it is constituted as a confederation of 10 semi-autonomous provinces and a central government which is constrained in its powers over the provinces...this separate but equal power sharing arrangement is the core of Canadian confederation...We are NOT a centralized soviet federal state where provinces are totally subordinate to a central supreme soviet cabal...We are NOT a subordinate vassal-state of unelected and corrupt UN bureaucrats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;We chose our own destinies as Canadians and individuals by the sovereign within right of our constituted provinces. I refuse to abide by, or recognize, constitutionally compromised social engineering dictates from Ottawa which was formulated as the result of colloquial unratified deals with unelected UN/globalist oligarchs. The Liberal party governs with an agenda that domestic policy should mirror the dictates of an unelected anti democratic global soviet. Application of this agenda is done by deteriorating Canada's confederal safeguards against centralist tyranny....the constitutionally autonomous province in a voluntary confederal association with Ottawa and a constitutional "not withstanding" veto power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an Albertan and Canadian I reject and dissent to such illegitimate centralization of governance. If the trend continues and Ottawa's globalists refuse to recognize the traditional inherent constitutional autonomy of my province and continues to refuse to recognize my inherent individual rights and liberties, I regard them as a constitutionally illegitimate imposter governing federal junta....I recognize none of their constitutionally compromised dictates and none of their fraudulent claims on my province's wealth and rights or my personal wealth and rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No taxation isjustifiable without effective, elected, equal representation and no consent to govern is justifiably rendered to governing bodies who represent the will of foreign governing bodies that are not accountable to the Canadian electorate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until this degenerated state of democratic/constitutional affairs in Ottawa ceases to pervert operational confederal policy, I remain a provincial autonomist who is willing to be a separatist if warranted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Definitions which need to be clarified:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Autonomy:&lt;/strong&gt; Immunity from arbitrary exercise of authority: political independence, Personal independence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Constitutional autonomy:&lt;/strong&gt; Political independence within the prescribed nature of constituted confederal jurisdictions and linear with the enumerated and demonstrated spirit of the constitution's original intent and its traditional conventional literal reading. (This amounts to the constitutions original intent that the provinces be sovereign "within right" and neither subordinate to a central government nor able to rule in its specified jurisdictions. To do this we must reactivate section 94 of the constitution which invokes the right to provincial approval or disallowance of federal legislative uniformity within subjects it deems to be a jurisdiction of dual responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sovereignty:&lt;/strong&gt; Government free from external control. The ideological basis of nationhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Separatism:&lt;/strong&gt; The character or act of lawfully leaving a confederal association; disposition to withdraw from a conventional voluntary association; the practice of so withdrawing to form an independent self governing nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Confederation:&lt;/strong&gt; A confederation is an association of sovereign states, usually created by treaty but often later adopting a common constitution to codify why they are voluntarily allied in their desire to form a flexable, non binding political union to retain more autonomous rights for the member states/provinces. Sometimes confederation is erroneously confused as being a federation. Canada was constituted, and remains constituted, as a confederation. Canada has been constituted as a relatively decentralised "Confederation" with subsequent voluntary inclusion of other colonies by local democratic mandate. However in Canada the incorporated territories remain wards of the central government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Federation:&lt;/strong&gt; A federation (from the Latin f'dus, "covenant") is a centralized state comprised of a number of semi-autonomous regions (often themselves referred to as "states") united under a signed ratified social contract to a central ("federal") government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states is constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government. The component states of a federation usually do not have the right to secede unilaterally. Association in a federation is contractual and binding....sucession is an act of treason as per the signed constituting agreement. This is the main difference between a federal and confederal nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The confederal nation is in a nonbinding voluntary association with its fellow states/provinces and its central governing body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Power is distributed in a separate but equal manner. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Association with, or independence from, the confederal union is determined soley by a sovereign province exercising their right to local democratic mandate for the action by the electorate within the autonomous province. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;A federation has no such option&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for it's members as all have committed to a ratified, binding union through mutial contract. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The United States and Russia are federations....Canada and Switzerland are confederations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Personally I think &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Canada and Switzerland got the better deal freedom-wise....the trick is making our central governing autocrats respect the conventional autonomy of our province's confederal association with it. This has become very hard when statists within central government wants to act like a dominant governing body of a federation when it is constitutionally and legally not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113839311261687821?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113839311261687821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113839311261687821' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113839311261687821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113839311261687821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/01/after-harpers-thin-blue-line-in-ottawa.html' title='After Harper&apos;s thin blue line in Ottawa, whither Alberta?'/><author><name>W.L.

For the answer, once again we have to look regionally because the distribution of seats shows us we have a very ideologically/politically / regionally divided nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;BC:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The suburban and rural population wants democratic change the urban areas want status quo corruption. the shock here was they returnd 3 of Martin's cabinet ministers including the scandal plagued panderer Desanjh.&lt;/span&gt; The bright spot here is that Vancouver center chose a intolerant sexist over a power pimping gay jewelry thief. BC largely wants change but its urban centers are tied to a dystopian nanny state existance via poor fiscal management and public sector unionist blackmail. BC remains a divided constituency split between patronage-addicted metropolitan areas and a libertarian-conservative rural population who want state sponsored property trespassing and robbery to stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High point:&lt;/strong&gt; Pink Panther Svend Robinson sent packing back to the gay bathouses and Jewelry auctions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low point:&lt;/strong&gt; Liberal pandering rat Dosanjh and burning cross bigot Fry are rewarded by the moonbat corps of Vancouver&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Alberta:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;went solid blue. Gawd I'm proud of my people!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; A resounding vote for change: senate/parliamentary/confederal democratic reform, tax reform and an end to abusive federal programs like CWB, The Gun registry and Kyoto taxing their resource economy. A weak CPC ( foiled by GTA and the east coast) minority which cannot deliver the changes Alberta has wanted for over 30 years will have many mainstream Albertans exploring the mechanisms for an Alberta independence/autonomy option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alberta's high point:&lt;/strong&gt; Sending Annie (the screech) MacLellan packing for her many years of balloting fraud and sycophancy to Alberta-damaging Liberal policies. The sweep means &lt;strong&gt;the Libs and NDP are no longer national parties. They join the BQ as regional rumps.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alberta's tipping point:&lt;/strong&gt; A Liberal government reinstalled by Ontario in less than 24 months will solidify/formalize the independence option movement here. Many Albertans viewed the 2006 election as Ontario's last chance to show some civil and confederal responsibility and remove a bad government decisively and allow Harper to clean up government and equilize confederation. Harper is now in a position where his ability to govern as Alberta hoped is severely impaired by opposition partisan dogmatism from Ontario. My prediction is that this minority Harper government will mutate Alberta separtism into a more constitutionaly compatable form of provincial aitonomy similar to Quebec, as Albertans hold their breath, watching with hope to see if Harper can deliver change. A motivated autonomy movement will come on strong with a vengence if Alberta sees Harper foiled by a politically monolithic leftist opposition from Ontario. A 20 month powerless minority brought down in non cofidence followed by a Liberal government installed by Ontario...followed by a deposing of Harper as leader and a Powercor/Peter MacKay take over, will put the last nail in the federalism coffin in Alberta. This will take westerners and Albertans out of the party to run provincial based independence options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sask/Man:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Sask. wants change it went 90% blue&lt;/span&gt;...this is a democratic breakthrough for CPC in the cradle of prarie socialism. Sask will become more aligned with Alberta politically and eventually install a provincial firewall government as movements proceed to align with Alberta's autonomy option. &lt;strong&gt;Manitoba &lt;/strong&gt;as always, wears one cowboy boot and one sneeker..split personality here between those who want to milk the welfare state and those who want change and relief from it. If the domestic immigration stats are any indication, anyone from Manitoba who is remotely self reliant, mobile and change oriented will seek relief by moving to Alberta if the Federal Harper revolution fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sask/Man High point:&lt;/strong&gt; Sask goes Blue and Manitoba punts wheatfield commie Ed Shryer and autocrat Reg Alcock for a change oriented CPC candidate....also many first nations ridings went Blue signalling the degenerate "native industry" that made liberal-networked lawyers and corrupt band leaders rich, is ready for change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sask. Low point:&lt;/strong&gt; Dirty tricks from Liberal apparatis and rumors of ballot fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Ontario:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Well, where to start and remain civil? First off, having worked for some years organizing in ridings here, I reject the apologist media spin that Ontario was "cautiously giving Harper a chance to govern". On the contrary, Ontario was starategically voting to ensure Harper's leadership was restricted. Generally, Ontario displayed a collective mindset that they no longer embrace an inclusive equitable democratic multi party state. They desire their media's propagandized utopian single party state ( Liberal) and use the other parties only to give the Liberal political cartel a time out to renew leadership and reorganize with more palatable public bribery for their votes. Harper was installed as an interim ( care taker) leader. Ontario has not demonstrated a cautious embrace for change....they have demonstrated that they simply do not like the current liberal leader, who was rudderless and not tending to the business of robbing the rest of the nation to top off Ontario's corporate welfare/public sector demands. They parked the Libs on the opposition benches (the core Martin cabinet) for 20 months until they shake Martin , elect a utopian messiah leader with the requisite "starbucks global socialism" marketability and the open wallet policy which Ontraio's gargantuan public sector redundancy expect from the nanny state. ( Martin saw it coming and quit while Etobicoke obliged its red machine potentates by giving his heir apparent a seat) Ontario...specifically the GTA is still the bastion of nationally destructive single party statism and economically disasterous moonbat utopianism. There were gains for the CPC here granted...but not a break through and most of the protest vote went to the moonbat party the NDP. The larger question is will Alberta and Quebec be quietly optomistic with this development or bcome jaded with Ontario's irresponsible grip on the national inclusionist agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low points:&lt;/strong&gt; Newmarket has distinguished itself as Canada's captial of ethicless self interest by returning a shallow political turncoat who's Daddy's money bought her a seat despite her demonstrated propensity for betrayal ( right Peter?). Other low points include finding seats for fanatic arch liberal swindlers Volpe, Sgro, Bill Graham, Mcallum, Karen Redman( Chretien's whip), Fontana and the core of the Martin Cabinet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lower point:&lt;/strong&gt; Peter Kent was rejected. Vetern Baiting Tom Wappel was rewarded for political treachery to Canada's veterns. Layton and Chow sent up as a moonbat tag team to Ottawa by the MTV kids. Now Olivia has enough political leverage to demand separate beds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lower lowest point:&lt;/strong&gt; Etobicoke obliged the Desmarais Powercor king makers by giving the Lib Heir apparent Ignatieff a seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highlights:&lt;/strong&gt; Spaced out spaceman Marc Garneau burned up on entry! Hamilton rejected Liberal sleaze. Garth Turner, Tony Clement and Jim Flaherty finally sent to Ottawa where they will become cabinet members. Ontario's industrial ridings rejected liberals and half accepted Harper's vision of economic propsperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Quebec:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; A CPC success story and a Province I respect for shifting it's separatist sentiment to a staunch Federally associated autonomy. Harper can bring "autonomists" into the confederal fold by striking a constitutional deal to adhere to traditional constitutional jurisdictional autonomy. Quebec has constantly rejected Liberal centralist autocratic federalism and have been the only province besides Alberta to cling to conventional constitutional jurisdictions. They cautiously return the BQ to Ottawa with a mandate to continue to use threat of separation to acheive Quebec autonomy within confederation....but kept them in check with enough federalists voting for CPC and a federalist provincial gobernment. The Liberal seats are all from the ridings where Powercor corporate patronage is at it's thickest. Harper, Charest and Duceppe will find common constitutional ground. I hope he can bring Quebec as well as Alberta into a satisfactory confederal agreement. I also predict he will get cooperation in parliement from Quebec MPs more so than Ontario. Harper's penetration in Quebec is a signal that separtists have waned and autonomy within confederation is ready to take root.....like Quebecers embraced in 1867... not the separatist FLQ stereotype that the Liberal fear monger with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High points:&lt;/strong&gt; Liberal scammer Smith sent packing. Pretty Pierre Pettigrew was sent packing and he and his chauffer-boyfriend will have to pay for their own hotel rooms. Adscam patron ridings went blue. CPC picked up every liberal seat except the safe Montreal patronage seats secured with Powercor bribery. Quebec Federalists and autonomists have common ground in Harper's constitutional revival of Provincial empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalntic Canada:&lt;/strong&gt; Has proven to be either helplessly dependent on corrupt Liberal Tammany Hall patronage/control politics OR they are more isolated and vulnerable to single party state fear mongering than had ever been predicted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NB:&lt;/strong&gt; Seems reliant on the redundant fed jobs the Gun Registry and similar gratuitous Fed make work projects provide. The polls reflected this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NS: &lt;/strong&gt;still needs the "political boss" pumping fed loans, regional development graft and no bid contracts into local economies The Irvings and Soby's are smiling.....so are the majority of working poor "service industry" workers who reley on their employment monopoly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PEI&lt;/strong&gt; continues to be a wholey owned subsidiary of Lib-Patronage Inc. It has 3 more seats than are warrented by its population and enough federally funded golf resorts to keep the island economy hopping servicing the senior civil servants that retire and vacation there. They know who butters their patronized bread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NFLD./Labrador:&lt;/strong&gt; St. John's residents found the brains/balls to oust some local Liberal patronage bosses but the CFB Gander residents voted Liberal...what the hell is that? The Newf mind remains an enigma..for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low points:&lt;/strong&gt; Traitorous weasel Brison was rewarded for his betrayal to his party and his sex. Economies reliant on the armed forces voted liberal (Is this Newfie strategic voting?) and generally the East coast remains an isolated info blacked out Federal ward and a fed equalization payment basket case. They are in peril of being a political write off as power shifts to the west and away from patronage confederalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;General observasions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I woke up this morning and Harper had no troops in the streets&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ontario remains the land of dreams where crooks and frothing maniacs can find a government job&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;TO, Montreal and Vancouver, by their political choices are "Canada" whereas the remaining 99 % of the landmass and its population is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Listening to Liberal party henchmen: The liberals didn't lose this election, they were downsized by a horribly mistaken management ( electorate) who were not fully propagandized. It is inconceivable that people in the single party state would find graft, corruption, ballot tampering, election fraud and theft of public funds to be abhorant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even a thin blue line against the above is better than what we had.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113813954028646510?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113813954028646510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113813954028646510' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113813954028646510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113813954028646510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/01/did-canadians-get-change-they-wanted.html' title='Did Canadians get the Change they wanted?'/><author><name>W.L.

It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, &lt;strong&gt;from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage&lt;/strong&gt;." [Alexander Tyler]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. &lt;strong&gt;Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them&lt;/strong&gt;. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and &lt;strong&gt;every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods&lt;/strong&gt;."[H. L. Mencken]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys&lt;/strong&gt;.” —P.J. O'Rourke, Parliament of Whores&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;What is this oozing behemoth&lt;/strong&gt;, this fibrous tumor, &lt;strong&gt;this monster of power and expense&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;hatched from the simple human desire for civic order&lt;/strong&gt;? How did an allegedly free people spawn a vast, rampant cuttlefish of dominion with its tentacles in every orifice of the body politic?” —P.J. O'Rourke, Parliament of Whores&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In general &lt;strong&gt;the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other&lt;/strong&gt;." [Voltaire]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away&lt;/strong&gt;." Barry Goldwater&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the State. &lt;strong&gt;They forget that the State lives at the expense of everyone&lt;/strong&gt;." Frederic Bastiat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

This was Martin's "crossing of the Rubicon river"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The river (Rubicon) is notable as Roman law forbade any general or political leader from crossing it with a standing army. The river was considered to mark the boundary between the Roman "outlands" under martial law dictatorship to the north and the elected republic under civil law in the Roman heartland to the south; the law thus protected the free republic from dictatorship through military coup. A sort of prototype constitution limiting the tyranny of dictatorships and preserving the democratic republic and its civil code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, supposedly in pursuit of "an enemy of the people"and “for the better good of Rome” he broke that law and made civil conflict against his dictatorship inevitable. According to Suetonius he uttered the famous phrase "alea iacta est" (the die is cast).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has survived to refer to any person committing himself irrevocably to a risky course of action, another way of saying crossing the point of no return. It is also appropriate to its original meaning of a tyrant seizing a free nation to install a dictatorship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt; For Martin, announcing the end of the supremacy of parliamentary representative democracy and denying the right of citizens due process and property,  was his "crossing the Rubicon"… a declaration of his vision and intent to consolidate supreme power in his office through his appointed Jurocrats and to gut 800 years of civil freedoms in the British tradition of law. This was Caesar Martin's declaration as would-be emperor and the point of no return...the die is cast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Wish him luck because once a leader decides to act against the freedom of his people he has chosen the tyrant's path.....and tyrants need to be lucky every day after they reveal themselves to escape the fate of all tyrants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113726063641005103?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113726063641005103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113726063641005103' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113726063641005103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113726063641005103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/01/this-week-martin-has-crossed-rubicon.html' title='This week Martin has &quot;crossed the Rubicon&quot;.'/><author><name>W.L.

Both the Grit attack machine and their media have been conspicuously off their game and ...well...civil…at least as much as a Grit election machine can be these days. This seems to have dampened the din of the now standard maniacal, bleating fear mongering and callow flag waving which seemed to be about all this ethically devoid visionless regime has left the hurl at opponents. I noticed their camp followers in the media did not show up for the usual one sided commentary onslaught they usually provided to rum interference for their partisan masters.....all these liberal camp mechanisms seemed to fall silent this election, allowing Harper the CPC and alternative voices to actually be heard for the first time in 15 years...and of course once a viable alternative is actually heard, people respond positively…..thus the “momentum”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So who turned off the Liberal attack machine and why? Well Bourque gives us&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bourque.org/notes.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;some insight &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;into my suspicions:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Forget what Don Newman and Mike Duffy are glazing you over with, the election has not just begun, it's just about done. Get out the four-pronged eating implement, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the party's over for Paul Martin &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;and his Liberal Party. Bourque has learned that a cancerous malaise has infiltrated the highest echelons of his braintrust, a leadership increasingly desperate to gain traction in the waning weeks of the campaign. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Senior Martin Libs are privately telling Bourque that "the game is over".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Not even "mega-billion dollar policy Hail Maries", as one lifer put it, is buying goodwill from an increasingly cynical electorate. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One key source, a Martin heavyweight in the Toronto financial community, surprised Bourque overnight with an email touting a potential post-Martin leadership candidate. "The writing's on the wall, Pierre, you were right, but (name omitted) is the real deal, you watch, his time is coming&lt;/strong&gt; !"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further evidence of grave concern at the top is witnessed by a very well-placed operative inside the Liberal War Room who claims a certain degree of discord is beginning to permeate the front-line troops based on increasingly distressful poll results. "Pierre", noted &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;one regional campaign kingpin who prefers to remain in the weeds, "the national campaign has stalled and HQ is not taking input from us,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it's very frustrating !" Add to that, news from Tom Clark, CTV's top political observer, who told his eggs-and-bacon audience this morning that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the Liberal campaign team has a mole who is leaking policy and platform information to the Conservatives and the media&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, something Bourque told Martin bullwark David Herle in an email three days ago. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;For skulduggery lovers, the plot thickens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. For Martin Liberals, sadly, the plot sickens. &lt;strong&gt;"&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Only a miracle can save us", admitted one longtime Lib MP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. One word of caution, Bourque admires the Liberals' incredible ability to fight back from the precipice. Herle and his key folks are heroic fighters, they have every quality needed to turn this thing around. As a well-known TV pundit put it to Bourque, "these guys haven't won as often as they have because they roll over when things get tough." Developing ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Yes...interesting for those of us who watch deep politics fermenting. My take is that this election was conceded to the CPC before the writ was dropped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The power brokers in the Liberal cartel saw Martin (and his certain to be discovered personal corruption) as a liability with the cynical mood of the electorate..... and had decided they had to rid themselves of another Jonah leader (Cretch was the last) and his cancerous empire building political support cartel. He was a political liability and a far too ambitious leader who worked for a Quebec corporate cartel in isolation from the party power borkers in ROC. The party owners outside of the Quebec network want to purge it of an inept, unsellable, uncontrollable leadership and install a new dynasty builder. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Losing an election is the perfect excuse to purge the leader and party ranks of liability prone "warring" factions and install a new infrastructure of yes men and quislings all pointed in the same direction...where the party owners want them...uniformly aligned behind a freshly installed messiah-leader. This, they feel, will be a relatively painless 4 year ( or less) waltz in the opposition benches before they come back at us with new untracable funding mechanisms that can't be cracked and a new organizational discipline that would make the Borg blush. I also note there are indications from the Liberal party mandarins that a messiah leadership candidate will appear shortly....like Trudeau did when Pearson seemed certain to doom the Libs to political oblivion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all begs the question: was this election handed to Harper?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "leaks" from the command center and collective liberal media civility tell me it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My advice to Mr. Harper&gt; graciously accept this government and proceed to govern better, more honorably, accoutably, inclusively, democratically and scandal free than any regime before. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113650586347733476?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113650586347733476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113650586347733476' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113650586347733476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113650586347733476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2006/01/did-grits-intentionally-hand-harper.html' title='Did Grits Intentionally Hand Harper the Election on a Platter ?'/><author><name>W.L.

The SCC threw it back to the House where it belonged constitutionally. This was a non-binding opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) The SCC has NEVER made a ruling confirming the current marriage systems available are discriminatory to Gays. The SCC has also never issued a bench order to parliament to include senual orientation  in section 15 of the charter. They offered a non binding order to Alberta to amend its HR act. The SCC has held that by not appealing lower court "reading in" of sexual orientation as a section 15(2) inclusion, the government (not parliament or the people) has demomnstrated agreement….this was an OPINION and not constitutionally nor legally binding in assuming gay rights being legally in the charter. So called "read in" sexual orientation laws are enforced unconventionally by lower court decree outside the constitutional purview of the courts or the governments making such laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Further the lower courts read into the Charter of Rights and freedoms in Section 15, sexual orientation since it was not enumerated in there. Additionally, the lower courts never defined sexual orientation in their rulings but left it open for further challenges. The charter remains unamended as per legal requirements and as such “sexual orientation” as a protected charter right is legally unenforceable…any laws which do so are in pith and substance unconstitutional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) It is clear that Canadians wish to re-visit this issue and allow a free vote in the House. I personally believe that such a contentious social issue which has been so vulgarly politicized and so callously used to subvert the rule of law and the charter requires a nation wide vote at time of election to vote yes or no to changing the traditional definition of marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was amazed that the so called "undecided" voters on the CBC comment panel, and the so called average Canadian voters giving the questions in the "leader’s debate (more like a job interview with 4 finalist applicants). My amazement was focused at those who think the definition of marriage issue is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) a charter issue&lt;br /&gt;B) settled&lt;br /&gt;C) a right&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were a suspicious person, I'd swear the people who tossed that question out fist in both debates are special interest activists or liberal partisans. I was also quite taken aback at how thoroughly and callously the media and the left wing parties have convoluted and politicized this simple jurisdictional and legal matter. People seemed to have no grasp of the issue save the emotion charged disinformation seed through the media by the liberal spin-doctors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harper obviously didn't have time to "educate" the deliberately confused masses so he was quite firm and honest that he would hold the free parliamentary vote on changing the federal marriage act definition of marriage, which we never got. He also reiterated he would not opt out if he lost (actually it's up to the provinces to opt out but we won't get into the correct process when we are dealing with a nation of constitutional toddlers who have no understanding of the workings of their own nation's rule of law). Harper made it clear that the reference on the issue to the SCC was returned to parliament to make a decision....this was parliament's purview but it was NOT a free vote with Dither's whipping cabinet ministers and buying independent votes with patronage and threats....Harper clearly wants a totally free vote on conscience and to reflect the will of the majority who the MPs represent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The liberals have avoided democracy or the will of the people on this issue because:&lt;br /&gt;A) It is not a "rights" issue&lt;br /&gt;B) The nation is bitterly divided on this issue&lt;br /&gt;C) The provinces know it will open up abuse of the civil law system&lt;br /&gt;D) The solemnization of marriage jurisdiction is the province's right to set suitability for issuance of marriage licenses. Ultimately it is the provinces who will decide this issue of marriage or civil union regardless of the definition the feds concoct.&lt;br /&gt;E) All the law requires of the government to conform with charter section 15 requirements for minority nondiscriminatory laws is that a separate but equal legal remedy be available for minorities which has the end result of approximating the system available for the majority....civil union is a lawful and charter sound remedy...but they will never tell you that because if they keep the public constantly confused as to what the charter actually says then they can “read in” anything they want and change the charter without using the mandated democratic amendment formula contained in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did anyone pick up on Martin's buzz phrase that "we are a nation of minorities"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of those happy face wrappers over a very ugly face of a hidden agenda. That agenda, of course, is state compartmentalization of its citizenry and it is culturally and nationally divisive. Liberal dystopia revolves around repressing, controlling and robbing the majority under the guise of serving the needs of minorities…it’s all so Machiavellian only the amoral statist left could accept it as civil.&lt;br /&gt;Next post we will examine the lies the Left wing leaders told regarding the constitutional confederation and national unity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113483757589500706?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113483757589500706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113483757589500706' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113483757589500706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113483757589500706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/12/leaders-debate-martin-layton-duceppe.html' title='Leader&apos;s debate: Martin, Layton, Duceppe commit charter fraud'/><author><name>W.L.

I fugure we have come to the current low ebb of corrupt inept governance because apathy and inaction are as rife as the fl u  in a cold winter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;I have been politically active since my college days but I am still largely non partisan as I am a strong ideological libertarian. This time round I am supporting a Conservative candidate locally because this election is not about partisan infighting. This election is about our civil duty to remove a corrupt and visionless government because to reward this type of governnace would be the death knell for this nation. I truely believe a liberal government being returned to Ottawa will start the break up of this nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Even though I don't like it, there is only one choice and that is to support anyone other than a Liberal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;That is what I intend to do and the campaign is hectic at this time of year trying to balance Christams and family with my work for the CPC candidate's office......So if the posts to this blog are sporodic for the next 50 days you know why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;I will also be privy to some juicy inside info on Liberal dirty tricks in the election...which I will post religiously to either this blog or others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;So...let's hit the hustings and do our duty as resoponsible citizens and oust a criminal federal regime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113405735555392651?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113405735555392651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113405735555392651' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113405735555392651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113405735555392651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/12/time-to-hit-hustings.html' title='Time to Hit the Hustings...'/><author><name>W.L.

Reid services their every desire and he pays lip service to their opinion which he hears daily and must obscure from public scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In essence he expresses a widely accepted opinion of central Canada’s&lt;br /&gt;ruling elite that I amounts to raw contempt for Alberta and the west.....and why shouldn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years Alberta and the west have been aware of the corrupt workings and the strangle hold eastern corporate-political cartels have on our government....they KNOW they service their own interests first then throw patronage voter crumbs to central Canada (who, in this inequitably weighted electoral system, are the only area of the nation they must appease to stay in power)...we KNOW they have robbed and pillaged the west of its jurisdictions and wealth to directly patronize the area that they need to win elections. The fiscal numbers leave the trail and it is common knowledge west of Rosedale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The over whelming informed mass of westerners know all this....they know Ottawa knows they know we Ottawa knows it too......yet hit after contemptuous federal hit to their security, sovereignty and self respect, they simply grumble...then do nothing substantial to free themselves from this traditionally abusive association......at least Quebec, who was used as a contemptible subservient vassal state by the central cabal for most of the first 75 years of confederation ( like Alberta is now ) had the balls to make political choices that ended the abuse.....Yet Alberta and the west have taken over 2 decades of openly hostile Fed-Lib policy and done nothing substantial which has a hope of putting the centralist Fed cartel in a negative bargaining position at the confederal table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet we ( Alberta and the west) continue to court status-quo political “appeasement” options which are doomed to failure after lengthy drawn out experiments in "conciliation" or " negotiation" prove fruitless because we act from a submissive bargaining position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quebec has demonstrated to us there is only one way to get the self-serving feds to the bargaining table and take your complaints seriously.....to regain some respect from them....and that is to seek political options which have disassociation with the central government as a result of confederal negotiation impasse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, at the risk of incurring the reactionary wrath of partisan Albertans....I am non-partisan on this issue....but I will  support any western political organization which proves they  grasp this basic reality by acknowledging the viability of the only political option which is proven to get results to our cnnfederal "second class member" dilemma….atleast use it as a last resort after reasoning fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think deeply about it and ask yourself what good negotiating with a robber-baron landlord is unless you have a cudgel ( in the ability to leave him and put your undervalued wealth and loyalty on the open market) which he is certain you are capable of doing, if he becomes belligerent when your go to him to renew your tithe-lease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until Western political movements realize the confederal disassociation referendum option should be front and center on the board for ANY failed constitutional/confederal impasse with the corrupt Ottawa governing cabal, centralist cartel needle dicks like Reid will continue to insult you mercilessly while they steal your economic future and your sovereignty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113373766124376704?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113373766124376704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113373766124376704' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113373766124376704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113373766124376704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/12/liberal-prime-ministers-office-asks.html' title='Liberal Prime Minister&apos;s Office asks Albertans for Sexual Favors'/><author><name>W.L.

The “Martin” horse is presented at news conferences (staged public handicapping sessions) as the winner by default because no negative questions are asked while the “Harper” horse is given negative self-answering questions lobbed at him…we can see the Canadian media as being actively “handicapping” the electoral race by suggestive negative messaging of  specific candidates  while giving other candidates a free ride.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;More about that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cbcwatch.ca/?q=node/view/1573"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Lorrie Goldstein picked up on this trend right away (as did I) when watching the press scrums from yesterday. The real “scary” thing in Canadian political life is that the Central media is biased and partisan and is intent on becoming PART of the campaign instead of just reporting  accurately on it. As usual the CBC is the worst offender when it comes to disinformation and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;partisan bias&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;From Goldstein's observations:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;What this illustrates is how totally the Liberals, who have been in power for 12 years, control our national dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they insist that Liberal corruption, Adscam and the findings of the Gomery report are no big deal, then inevitably, that argument works its way into the media's thinking, no matter what Harper and the Conservatives say. Similarly, if they insist that Harper and the Conservatives are "scary" have a "hidden agenda" and hate Canada, then that too, inevitably influences the media's thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday's coverage of the leaders' opening statements and press scrums on CBC Newsworld emphasized this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Newman felt so compelled to criticize Harper's response to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;the "do you love Canada" question&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, along with another about whether he was ready to be prime minister, that he practically barged in on an unsuspecting Peter Mansbridge to declare it Harper's first big gaffe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now, I would have thought the more interesting questions were (a) &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;why was Harper even asked a "when are you going to stop beating your wife" question like "do you love the country&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;?" and (b) why didn't the media ask Martin about Gomery, since it was obvious why he wouldn't raise it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Indeed, Martin will not “raise” the issue of a government plagued with corruption scandals from Earnscliffe to Adscam to the Gun Registry budget fraud…..so why don’t the media? And why do they make hysterical suggestive insults about Harper’s loyalty when Martin has been proven in breech of public trust? Well we all know the answer to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This election more than any other the national news media ( meaning essentially the cloistered media elite in TO and Ottawa) will be on trial by the Canadian public as much as the corrupt federal liberals. My feeling is that  IF the Canadian public want a fair and balanced election where ALL parties/leaders are forced to answer the most pressing issues with Canadians, then the internet alternate news and blogeshpere will have to keep a very close eye on the media’s partisan spin and nail their credibility to the wall when they are found to be manipulating us for their “hidden agenda”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt; The fact is, almost all of the Canadian MSM is part of the liberal patronage cartel either by ownership of direct patronage…remember the end beneficiary of the Adscam bucks were the news papers and Media networks who had to run the liberal ads…no one spends more money on media advertising than the government…..and of course they own the CBC outright so you can see the real “hidden agenda” here with the media’s political bias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A good place to send your tips is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cbcwatch.ca/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CBC watch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;…Also don't be afraid to complain to the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/ombudsman/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;CBC Ombudsman&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;or the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crtc.gc.ca/RapidsCCM/Register.asp?lang=E"&gt;CRTC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; when you see CBC breaking their corporate commissioning directives by actively being partisan and selling Liberal snake oil or using misrepresntative negative messaging about the opposition…hopefully when this dirty campaign is done the MSM will share the Liberal’s smashed credibility…they deserve it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113337586161453981?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113337586161453981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113337586161453981' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113337586161453981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113337586161453981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/11/cbc-joins-martins-dirty-campaign.html' title='CBC joins Martin&apos;s dirty Campaign'/><author><name>W.L.

Well, there's another juicy legacy piece from the Trudeau cabinet for you....one finance minister ( Chretien) caught running a government jointly with the Quebec mob and neck deep in the greatest public trust scandal in Canadian history...and now another Trudeau finance minister ( Hellyer) who has become a self appointed lobbyist for little green space men, who he predicts could show up in Ottwa any day now. But, hey, this is Ottawa and the Canadian public is conditioned to accept this level of madness and illogic in its politicians....what's the big deal with expanding the single party corrupt Canadin state inter galactically...right Paul?....like star wars with a 10% skim for the party bag men.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Perhaps there is another quote from the master of "gonzo" which is more apropos to Mr. Hellyer's situation: " I wouldn't recommend drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me".

A more poignant and crystal clear assessment of the Feds failed duck gun registry has never been penned....and to be blared out over Trudeaupia's favorite propaganda net indicates to me the Duck Gun registry is now nothing more than another Liberal albatross....totally useless in operation and kept on life support purely for face saving value. When you see the majority of liberal MSM calling for its ( the registry) demise, you realize that this is a fraud so big that even the liberal press wants to distance themselves from it.... supporting it at this point in time ( in the realities of the cost frauds and gun violence in TO which the registry is totally useless to prevent) will result in a potentially fatal blow to the credibility of the MSM.......only the most corrupt of party insiders directly responsible for the fraud, that the registry has been revealed to be, are the ones defending it....that and their fervent special interest puppets who similarly stand to be implicated in the fraud when it is finally exposed by the Auditor General this next session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually don't post another author's article in its entirety, but Rex Murphy's take on this deserves to be read and taken to heart by all Canadians who want to end the type of waste, corruption and errant bureaucratic idiocy to which the registry had become a metaphor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Rex Murphy's "Point of View" -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(from the transcript CBC e-mailed me, it will be on the CBC site next week)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;--- "Useless" is not a difficult word, but it's worthwhile sometimes to check a dictionary even for the most common ones. For example, the Encarta Dictionary -- that's the online newbie of lexicography --defines "useless" as "having no beneficial use, incapable of functioning usefully." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Merriam Webster is terse. It just says, "ineffectual." The American Heritage says of useless, "incapable of functioning or assisting." That's a good one. The shorter Oxford is economical and brutal. It says useless means "having no purpose." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I was peering into all of these semantic windows just for the purpose of making sure that when I said the federal gun registry -- cost close to two billion -- was useless, that I was on the right track. I think we are. There have been 69 murders in Toronto over this year. Many worthy, innocent people have tasted the deepest grief. The killings have profoundly disturbed, agitated, and alarmed the communities where they have occurred. The most recent murder was of an 18-year-old boy outside a church attending the funeral of a 17-year-old boy who was himself murdered the week before. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;This brazen blasphemous horror has appalled everyone. It has shaken Toronto to the core. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;In none of these killings has the gun registry been of the slightest assistance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; It has been ineffectual, of no beneficial use, incapable of assistance. This useless pretence of a policy has answered no valuable purpose. I bring this up in this particularly bleak context not primarily to take a smack at the gun registry, though it deserves every smack it gets, but to point out this further consideration: That&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; cosmetic legislation, legislation designed to make people feel good, has a price beyond the two-billion-dollar sign. Such legislation always amounts to a pretence and an evasion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;It was always known that if there was a problem with inner-city crime, gangs, and guns, the response had to be one that dealt with inner cities and with the gangs and their guns. And that meant confronting some of the most delicate issues, mixing race, poverty, police relations with black communities, drugs, and sheer wilful thuggery on the part of some- -- issues that are volatile, not susceptible to a quick fix, and barricaded by a whole set of topics most politicians would prefer not to have to deal with. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Throwing up a national gun registry as an answer, even a partial one, to these problems, was a fake response, allowed some civic leaders and interest groups to pose for the cameras, and give a vague impression that the real problems in all their complexity were being addressed. They weren't.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Gun murders in Toronto, and particularly within some areas of Toronto's black community, are not, and never were, primarily a licensing and registration dilemma.&lt;/strong&gt; Nor are they, by the by, a cross-border smuggling problem or a gun manufacturers' problem. Gun murder in this city is a Toronto problem, it is a gang problem, and it is a problem of relations between the police and portions of the black community. &lt;strong&gt;The wretched gun registry has been absolutely useless in assisting police in finding the villains who have been killing people.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Well, &lt;strong&gt;the homicide rate in Toronto this year is partially the price being paid for this charade&lt;/strong&gt;, and a most grievous illustration of the cost that evasion, purchased by &lt;strong&gt;feel-good legislation, eventually extracts a price inestimably higher than the two billion dollars&lt;/strong&gt; that useless registry has cost so far. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;For The National, I'm Rex Murphy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Amen Rex...and my deepest sympathies to those relatives of the murdered who were fooled into thinking a 2 billion dollar a duck gun registry would make them safe from urban-centric crime....we now see the only people pushing that "feel good" fraud were people who have the financial/political means to escape the inner city criminal violence they evangelise silly solutions for....It's impossible to see the causation of inner city crime from the posh cocktail circuits of Rosedale and Mont royal. Murphy's revelations are all the more stinging in light of the fact PMPM is now holding yet another feel-good conference on the hollow symbolism of "GUN CRIME" when it is "Ethnic Gangs" that are at issue...as if they will become model citizens the minit the impossible happens...which is to depricve them of weapons......the criminal  violence will continue to rage as long as vacant politicos keep selling sybolism over substance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113276326963684395?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113276326963684395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113276326963684395' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113276326963684395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113276326963684395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/11/cbc-gets-it-right-for-once.html' title='CBC gets it right for once'/><author><name>W.L.

A new University study in cancer research has found that a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.katu.com/health/story.asp?ID=80698"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;key ingredient in beer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;( xanthohumol , from the hops) produces a powerful anti-cancer agent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"But if ways can be developed to significantly&lt;br /&gt;increase the levels of xanthohumol or use it as a nutritional supplement - that&lt;br /&gt;might be different.

The news article states that Porter and Stout contain higher hop levels but this is misleading.

German anti-cancer beer...medicine where is thy sting? Wahoo! ....I can see the squat-to-pee "light beer" market just crashing....except for the sister boys that still sip this gutless soda water.

I welcome your submissions. This month let's limit ourselves to words from the Canadian establishment or the plebians who suffer undr their arrogant rule. This month I'm submitting a qute from a media source which, essentially, lays bare the scam in Canadian media and exposes the reason we have suffered under the single party state:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It's not a stretch to declare that the movers and shakers in Canadian media regard themselves as part of a ruling establishment - an establishment afflicted with an Ontario-Quebec urban mindset that largely views western Canada as the "other" Canada - too quaint and too crude, too friendly to the US, too admiring of large and intimidating pickup trucks to be trusted to govern their fair and sophisticated land. Their problem with Harper has little to do with social conservativism or lack of personal charisma. It's more basic than that - the Conservative party as it now stands is populated with outsiders, "hidden agenda" is just code-speak for "they're not one of us". &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(Kate McMillan-SDA blogger)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The Liberal culture of entitlement has long and generous fingers. A Harper government is indeed "scary" - the prospect of being on the outside looking in frightens the bejesus out of long time journalists and media pundits who understand that with a Conservative victory, the sweet little Liberal patronage pot at the end of their career rainbow is unlikely to be claimed - or offered.?&lt;/span&gt; ( Tom Korski, Sun Media)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-113198259175804491?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/113198259175804491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=113198259175804491' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113198259175804491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/113198259175804491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/11/quote-of-month.html' title='Quote of the month'/><author><name>W.L.

He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMMIGRANTS, NOT CanadiansMUST ADAPT. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Canadians. However..... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This idea of Canada being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Canadians....... we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We speak ENGLISH/FRENCH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"We Stand On Guard For Thee" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles............. founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and griping....... about our flag....... our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life....I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great Canadian Freedom....... THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Can't add much to this except to say the nation was founded and built by 2 Christian cultures under 2 languages and 2 types of law ( Napoleonic Code and British commonlaw)....this was PET's "two solitudes" which ( along with the first nations culture) prompted the original usage of the concept of multi-culture as expressed in the charter.....this construct has since been abominated into the current misinterpretation by successive statist federal regimes operating under the premises of cultural marxist engineered society....they think that the original 2 solitudes should be expanded to mean unlimited multiple solitudes...many nations within a nation and many cultures within a culture......in the end this results in loss of national identity just as the communist menifesto prescibes under the heading "cultural homogenization". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;There are 3 things which define a nation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Common language&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;common custom/culture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Constitutionally Defined and defended borders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;We have seen dangerous compromise on all 3 of these "binding agents" of nationalism, curtosy of federal regimes dabbling in cultural Marxism.

Funny, from my historical perspective the cheapest buy on the market is a commie politician...Layton is no different ....perhaps real socialists Like Ed Broadbent reminded his young leader that civilly responsible principle, accountable representative government and parliamentary ethical propriety take precedent over Jack's crass partisan pandering and payola soliciting.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In any event, why are we even having this conversation?

The regions who vote to oust a criminal and corrupt federal regime will NOT accept them as a government or opposition...they are suspects in a vast criminal conspiracy and they should be facing investigation , not re-election!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Had this federal liberal political cartel any semblence of parliamentary responsibility or "Canadian values" they would have had their leaders and all Cretien era MPs step down to be replaced by new candidates for the public to assess until this scandal was thoroughly investigated and charges laid or exonerations issued.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;But "ethics" is not in the Martinista lexicon...unless it's used as a tawdry toss off statement of situational values used to dupe the voters who they have so much contempt for.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;SO boys and girls, today's question is:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why, has a PM who has repeatedly stated he want's to be "responsible" for this scandal, to call an election as soon as Gomery has filed his findings, not done what he has promised nor done the traditional executive response to scandal this large and stood down as PM and called an election sooner than Gomery? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We all know the answer to this....it's because Liberal political cartel "ethics", values" and all other lofty ideals amout to one thing these days; retaining power for power's sake alone and doing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.canada.com/vancouver/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=04559d57-858c-457b-9fad-d01cae37b727"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANYTHING ( including crimes)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;to acheive that end.

All were involved in handling sick birds. There is, as of now, no recorded case of bird flu being transmitted from one human to another – something that is necessary before even an epidemic, much less a pandemic, could occur"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;MSM:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;"A major outbreak would lead governments everywhere to shut down their borders, or, in effect, ground airplanes, because people would not want to travel, and that would be the end of the major  trade in goods and services, at least for some period of time," Cooper said. "And, given our global supply chains, there would develop shortages in many, many goods, many products, across the world very quickly."  It would be hard to maintain food supplies "even across provincial lines, let alone across international lines," she added. "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Reality:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"So, before you let politicians, the media, the pharmaceutical companies and the grant hogs at the National Institutes of Health scare you with stories about being wiped out by a bird-flu pandemic, consider the following: If you are more than 50 years old, you've already lived through two pandemics of flu and probably didn't even know it. "&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;From my perspective as a freedom advocate and a determined enemy of the new globaist order that is turning our once free societies intopopulation controlled police states, A pandemic seems like the perfect scare to get us used to the government restricting our movements and having them &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/articles/science/vaccines_deadly_immunity.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;poison us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with mass innoculations (independent and FDA studies have found cancer agents, mercury and other dangerous virus incommercial flu vaccines). Bear in mind also that the vaccine industry is a projected $10 billion per year poorly regulated  enterprise which is attracting investment from the world bank and also that the CDC has pattent franchise on the sale of many vaccines.

Now this presents some very daunting constitutional issues as these resources are the "sole and exclusive" jurisdiction of the provinces.......so what has Paulie Librano and the Moe Strong-Powercor PMO have up their plundering globalist sleeves?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;No, Dithers hasn't gone "mad".....these manipulators thrive when you think they're mad or self destructive...that's when they're at their most dangerous and ready to pounce....no, as always Martin is following the orders of the cartel he works for and has invested with...he is a puppet that works for the really big money in Canada and the world. That "big money" has large capital investments (along with the Powercor alumus and tri-lateral boys) in China's booming industrialization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Now, to call these globalist thugs "capitalists" would be a misnomer...many of them creep across the public eye as socialists and big time liberals like Strong and Soros and Desmarais.....but they know the communist or fascist system is very good for business.....particularly if you are in the business of monopolies, market control and insider profiteering to cut the throat of the real free market. None of these pricks has made an honest buck like an old time industrialist or capitalist who spent high risk capital to get returns....they want no risk...they want the game rigged from the inside politically and an market exclusivity as a monopolistic cabal before they move in unison. They crave windfall profit...not resonable returns and they get off on the control and manupulation they can buy when they are the forces behind the global political intrigue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;China's economic boom dependes on 3 things primarily: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;1) Start up capital from exclusive international banking interests ( the 13 families) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;2) forced labor, no unions and despotic control of the labor force as well as wide open business laws that negate enviromental liability, worker liability, or corporate taxes. China has been exempted from Kyoto by the very people who invst in her coal and oil fired industrial infrastructure..and she keeps fully 1/6 of the industrial work force from prisoners who extract no wage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;3) Bought off politicians in Western nations who allow domestic companies to make goods in China at 1000% profit resale and escape tariffs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;To a globalist, China's despotism and inhuman record mean nothing.....the fact that 1/6 of the labor force is slave/prisoner labor does not bother them...the fact China is the globe's greatest polluter is moot to them...the winfall profits and political power are a siren call to the globalist monsters who finance China's growth and North America's decline.....and Martin works for one and has one in the PMO as a top advisor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;Any questions on why the PMO rush to fuel China with our resources?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112950275409413141?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112950275409413141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112950275409413141' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112950275409413141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112950275409413141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/10/martins-firesale-of-canadian-resources_16.html' title='Martin&apos;s Firesale of Canadian Resources to China.'/><author><name>W.L.

In reality they were disarming citizens from lists provided by BATF and state firearms registries as per instructions from the NOLA police cheif...note that at the time of this incident martial law was not declared and this lady has all her constitutional rights violated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Probably the most startling reality in this video is not that the goons would beat up an old woman, but the fact that when the shit hits the fan, and the orders are sent, the police/military will carry out orders no matter how uncivil, unconstitutional or immoral they are...this is the nature of the police funtion in a modern mega state that indoctrinates police to feel separate and superior to those they "police" and no empathy with so called "civilians"...they have been drummed into a pseudo miltary unconciousness that allows them to justify shooting fellow Americans if the boss tells them to....the classic "us" and "them" mindset. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Now I expect some to discount this as typical of the NOLA PDs...they are mostly as corrupt and thuggish as their Cheif and mayor...I mean they were right in there looting with the rest of them ...when they finally showed up for work. I may buy this except some more credible sources identified the fact that FEMA enforcement hired private mercinaries for this operation and they gave these "security" freebooters guns and police flack jackets......just how many were cops and how many were FEMA hired goons? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;The other thing I noticed is that Fox news got the clip and had Bill O'Riely white washing these police state terroist actions that shredded the constitution......frig!... blind partisan politics are a curse to rational liberty.....If Fox can portray this open rights abuse as "for her own good" they are as sick as the goons that beat that old woman and kidnapped her against her will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;For those partisans who still want to appologise for W 's seemingly easy acceptance of instituting federal marshal law domestically for something as minor as a flood....you can Thrill to the sight of NOLA's/FEMA's finest breaking this senior citizen's bones when she dare defy their totalitarian terror tactics by having the unpatriotic affrontery to demand to be left in peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Ladies and gents, here is a REAL scoff-law that got just what she deserved for defying the omnipotent talons of our benevolent police state....right Bill? . &gt;:-(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Thugs like the fat mutt who decked out that senior shold take note that not all American citizens hand over their rights and property to state sanctioned terrorists as easily as this defensless old woman and sooner or later one will probably put that fat statist thug on a slab.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112890232346182330?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112890232346182330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112890232346182330' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112890232346182330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112890232346182330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/10/granny-gets-leg-broken-in-state.html' title='Granny gets leg broken in state sanctioned kidnapping'/><author><name>W.L.

I have never done a piece on defining cultural Marxism and the environment in which it thrives ...cultural communism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Canada has been in the deep thralls of cultural communism for the last decade but it had it's roots in pre war Germany and then post war North American Universities. Here is a link to the best&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.americanfreepress.net/Cultcommsup.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;description and historic backgrounder on cultural communism&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;that I have ever read enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Here's a few prime outtakes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Sex is probably one of the biggest foundations of a culture. I think that’s precisely what they understood. They understood that the people who control the sexual morals of the country control the country. It was a very profound insight and it’s true. So they set about to change those settings, if you want to call it that, so they could take control of the culture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Bear this in mind as you recall the "class struggle" and "rights" that was made out of gender politics, recreational teen sex, homo sex and soon, multi partner sex in the collective left changing the sexual paradigm in north American culture .These were all personal moral choices elevated to a Marxist crusade for class struggle)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The effort to translate Marxism from economics into culture did not begin with the student rebellion of the 1960s. It goes back at least to the 1920s and the writings of the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Now if you think that the basic ideas of Cultural Communism are nuts, remember that these ideas are expressed in turgid prose indecipherable to normal people and of interest only to a small intellectual clique whose basic motivation is pure hatred of all of the historic attainments of Western civilization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I marched for civil rights with Dr. King in 1963—long before Hollywood found it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;fashionable. But when I told an audience last year that white pride is just as valid as black pride or red pride or anyone else’s pride, they called me a racist."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The answer? &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;You simply disobey&lt;/span&gt;.

Meanwhile his home was ransacked by police and much of his personal property "confiscated " ( read: stolen by the state) from hunting rifles to business equipment tools,personal items, computers, expensive optics and books.( some cop will be a happy camper with all this stolen gear)  His "crime"....he refused to register his hunting rifle on constitutional principle.

HOW MANY MEMBERS OF THE  “LIBRANOS” REGIME DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;A. TEN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. One to &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;deny&lt;/span&gt; that a light bulb needs to be changed, “where? What light bulb?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. One to attack the “Canadianism” of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. One to blame Chretien for burning out the light bulb,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. One to tell the nations of the world to ignore the darkness in Canada…a Liberal invented the light bulb and Canada still the light bulb capital of the world…according to a recent UN study..Cuba, Russia, China, Korea, Iran and France agree,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. One to give a two billion dollar no-bid, 1000% over-budget contract to Liberal patronizing companies for the new light bulb,… The Montreal vendor who wins the bid subcontracts the job to a Calgary engineering company for 1million and pockets the rest.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. One to arrange a CP photograph of Martin, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder pointing to the dead bulb under the banner: “PM promises to restore light to Canada”…then he walks away and the bulb remains there for another 5 years when it is used as an election promise,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. One former PMO insider to resign and in detail reveal how Martin was literally in the dark the whole time Adscam ensued and referring to the burnt out light bulb,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. One to seemingly viciously smear #7 in a controlled committee hearing on the burnt out bulb….the confusion and conflicting testimony allows the media to propagate uncertainty: “ Was there even is a burnt out light bulb?”,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. One gay/multicult government funded special interest surrogate to campaign in media and at rallies on how Paul Martin has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. And finally, one to confuse Canadians about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112748727282244349?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112748727282244349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112748727282244349' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112748727282244349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112748727282244349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/09/how-many-martin-liberals-does-it-take.html' title='How many Martin Liberals Does it take to Screw in a Light Bulb?'/><author><name>W.L.

Perhaps they think politically concocted spin is easier to accept from a blubbering news anchor thingie. :-) The only tears shed by this news junckie are from laughing too hard at these theatrical displays meant to whitewash all the partisan spin these hacks spew. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Lets look at just one little freudian slip from the credibility disgraced Rather:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"Rather praised the coverage of Hurricane Katrina by the new generation of TV journalists and acknowledged that&lt;strong&gt; he would have liked to have reported from the Gulf Coast&lt;/strong&gt;.

Rather sends this coded message that he is unapologetic at being caught spreading disinformation for partisan purposes and actually envies the insipid political caterwauling, blame game innuendo and moonbat conspiracy theories regurgitated by the partisan MSM in the Katrina coverage. (a provably politically motivated MSM coverage which has made many moderates write of the MSM off as a credible information source)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Sorry Dan et al, the tears are a tad late to get credibility back...although it may improve ratings when the MSM news is tuned in by alternate media as a form of comic relief and to gather evidence on it's continued unraveling credibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;With the tears we can see the end times to the partisan activist masquerading as a TV news Journalist. Perhaps the the air headed bimbo talking heads of the new entertainment-mews casts is preferable to seedy partisan indoctrination disguised as a credible news report. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Thank God ( or is it Algore) for the internet and short wave talk radio....or we'd never find the news that hit the editing room floors of the partisan MSM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112724193797173403?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112724193797173403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112724193797173403' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112724193797173403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112724193797173403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/09/tears-new-detergent-for-msm-bias.html' title='Tears: the new detergent for MSM bias'/><author><name>W.L.

I have never been a Mulroney fan, or Don Martin for that matter....both of them where too compromising of conservative principle and comfortable with status quo federal politics for my liking....However, Mulroney probably did the best he could with the motley "progressive" coalition he had but it was just not good enough to save Canada from the ravages of creeping statism and entrenched federal corruption. But they both get my thumbs up for this assessment of Ottawa and Ottawa ruling class society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;At any rate one of the repeated themes in "the Chin's" candid commentary in the unauthorized Newman book, was his distain for the sleaze and patronizing nepotism in Ottawa......according to Mulroney, Ottawa in the 80s was a cross between Mordor and Soddom steeped in biblical proportions of corruption..... some out takes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ottawa "is really a sick town&lt;/strong&gt;," Mulroney says in Peter C. Newman's tape-all, tell-all book, The Secret Mulroney Tapes: Unguarded Confessions of a Prime Minister. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here, nobody MPs lust at becoming cabinet somebodies to the exclusion of all other considerations. It's where great people are blocked from deserved promotion by geographic, gender, linguistic duality factors &lt;strong&gt;or, more likely, their failure to perform as elite-level sycophants.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;It's a place where MP marriages go to die as long separations from family are compromised by the aphrodisiac of political power in a city dubbed the &lt;strong&gt;lonely ladies' capita&lt;/strong&gt;l of Canada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;The longer you stay in Ottawa, the harder it is to write anything," he lamented. "The list of topics you can tackle which doesn't burn your contacts or hurt your friends gets shorter and shorter."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;That's the bottled essence of Mulroney's rage. If &lt;strong&gt;the capital is a village&lt;/strong&gt;, reporters were the village idiots during his reign. &lt;strong&gt;Everybody was friends with everybody else&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Except him. He was the outsider. And so they set out to get him. Surely Conservative Leader Stephen Harper can empathize.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;He may not see a great prime minister in the shaving mirror every morning, but Brian Mulroney had Ottawa figured out. It's a sick place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Can't add to that. This has been my observation for years....now confirmed by the insiders. I think it is a feather in Mulroney's cap and probably the best legacy he could have, in the fact he did not fit into the clannish decadence and corruption of the Ottawa "A-list".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112715132524692977?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112715132524692977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112715132524692977' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112715132524692977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112715132524692977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/09/mulroney-getting-it-off-his-chin.html' title='Mulroney&quot; getting it off his Chin'/><author><name>W.L.

CAIR's response was not to offer counter evidence to Frum's contentions but to threaten his publisher with lawyers and  HRC canabals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Here are some highlights on his contentitons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"CAIR was founded in 1994 by alumni of an older group, the Islamic Association for Palestine. The IAP, founded by senior Hamas figure Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, calls for the destruction of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state under Islamic law in Israel's place. (In 1996, CAIR would condemn the U.S. government's decision to deport Marzook as an "anti-Islamic" act.)"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;One of CAIR's original advisory board members, Siraj Wahhaj, served as a character witness for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. Rahman is the blind Egyptian cleric convicted in 1995 of conspiracy to bomb New York landmarks. CAIR described Rahman's conviction as a hate crime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;CAIR's founding chairman, Omar Ahmed, also an IAP alumnus, is said to have declared at a public event in California in July, 1998: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;These are the facts behind the commentary that the National Post and I have published. They are facts that the Canadian public and Canadian officials are entitled to know. The National Post and I are confident that Canada's courts will agree that no proper interest would be served by suppressing them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;How very predictable...and sadly how common. This is the degenerate level to which open public discourse has sunk under the stewardship of cultural marxism and the rights industry litigation lawyers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Frankly the self serving nature of these specialinterest lobbys make me ashamed to be Canadian and I'm sure the majority of Muslims feel likewise ashamed that this organization pretends to speak for them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112715098766581701?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112715098766581701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112715098766581701' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112715098766581701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112715098766581701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/09/why-legal-jihad-because-we-cair.html' title='Why the legal Jihad?

It always amuses me, as an Albertan,  how the vulgar, envious actions and Machiavellian statism of the eastern Bolshy horde are always wrapped up in the flag...for "the  good of national unity" or "the greater good" ....coded language for:  "we rob and pillage your sparcely voter populated region with national socialist sanctiomy " for the greater good" of our own interests.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Well, Ralph has answered the big question...exactly whose "greater good"....and he reminds the eastern red block that "the greater good" has historically been one sided and excluded Alberta:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The situation is no different now than it was in the boom of 1980, he said. "The rest of Canada was saying the same thing then:   'Give me, give me, give me,' " the premier said Friday. "&lt;strong&gt;Then the price of oil went down and the rest of Canada was wringing their hands in glee saying, 'You deserved it.&lt;/strong&gt;' " Klein noted &lt;strong&gt;no one came to Alberta's aid once the oil boom collapsed and many were left bankrupt after the Trudeau era's national energy program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"They asked us to share in the good times, but they didn't offer to share during the very, very bad times,"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Bravo Ralph for getting this need to known history lesson out to the eastern hordes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Then I saw this little tid bit buried in the CP release;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Klein said Alberta already sends billions of dollars to Ottawa that is distributed to the rest of the country through equalization payments. It amounts to about $2,400 for every man, woman and child in the province."&lt;strong&gt;They know that if Alberta's economic prosperity continues, they'll get more money through taxation,&lt;/strong&gt;" said the premier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Hmmmmm...Ralphie's Freudian slip is showing...is this an admission that he WANTS to maintain the Status Quo inequity in Confederal equilization...that he sees it as blackmail money to keep the Feds and the Bolshy Hordes from assaulting the gates of Alberta's treasurey?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Then we see this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Earlier this week, Klein pledged to use part of the province's unbudgeted surplus for "&lt;strong&gt;prosperity" cheques to Albertans&lt;/strong&gt;. He also pledged to put two-thirds of the surplus into &lt;strong&gt;endowment funds&lt;/strong&gt; and rebuilding infrastructure. Yet Klein exploded in frustration this week when Calgary Mayor &lt;strong&gt;Dave Bronconnier said the country's fastest-growing city needs more money from the province&lt;/strong&gt; and is having to increase taxes to cover basic services.&lt;br /&gt;Klein said Friday &lt;strong&gt;he's received $10 billion in funding requests - far more than even the most optimistic economic forecast is predicting for the current year's surplus. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Ahhhh yes there's the rub... eastern bolshy barbarians at the gates drooling for our  wealth as well as their brethern within the walls of fortress Alberta. What is it about the collectivist mentality that makes them think money drips out of the sphincter of any politician who can be coersed into a fiscal bowel movement.....they genetically have this reflex to "suckle and prod" at the political orifice... they belive this action will start the money flowing. It doesn't dawn on them that money has to be EARNED as well as stolen from the people then devoured to fill the guts of the cash-pooping leviathan state.....this "revenue stream" comes from productive people who have been taxed to a point that the government has more than it uses on public projects. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;Unless that democratically elected leviathan has a direct mandate to spend tax surplus on specific items...then it should be returned to the people it came from or used to spare them taxation in the next fiscal year by advancing it to the next year's budget. In the longer term allocation should be determined by citizen input.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;It was Albertans that tightened their belts and put many public infrastructure projects on life support so we could eventually become &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;debt free&lt;/span&gt; and actually see surpluses that don't have to be spent on debt repayments or interest servicing. ...but hey Ralphie...we didn't go through the hard times just to see surplus revenue squandered on the flakey make work projects designed by Bolshy mayors to further their political careers....we didn't go through the pain to see the squandering welfare state depleat the wind fall and still leave the province with sustainability issues....and we don't need cash locked away from public access in another flakey " trust fund" like the heritage fund; (which has never benefited Albertans  but has been used as a "project" slush fund for bankrupt socialist premiers in other provinces)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;If you read the linked article, Prof. Dave Taras (who fills the vacuum Ted Morton left at the U of C) has the responsible, democratic and constitutionally correct process for determining what to do with Alberta's revenue surplus.....strike a citizen's council which will allocate funds which will become "investments" in Alberta's long term sustainability after the oil boom...the most important of which is post secondarty education, skills training and economic diversification projects. This way when you allocate surplus revenues before you get by burying it in these provincial investment projects, it gets all that tempting surplus cash out of sight of the slavering pillage of visigoth collectivist hordes outside the province......their reflexive theft motivators only kick in when they see unallocated money...socialists are so Pavlovian in that respect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;This is the way to go...put the surplus into local long term sustainability investment and rebate the rest to weary tax burdened citizens.....you just simply don't hand large sums of surplus public cash out to braying Bolshy moonbats...the result is too predictable....it's like giving cash for a house and food to a junkie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12479829-112697298948033106?l=thefirebrand.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/feeds/112697298948033106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12479829&amp;postID=112697298948033106' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112697298948033106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12479829/posts/default/112697298948033106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thefirebrand.blogspot.com/2005/09/budget-surplus-versus-indigent-bolshy.html' title='Budget surplus Versus the indigent Bolshy Hordes.'/><author><name>W.L.

Calgary had the lowest crime rates for a city its size until we saw Al Doer use the force as a lib-left affimative action experiment.

We have noted that the real story of hurricane Katrina was not the disaster itself, but the total meltdown in the credibility of the partisan left media covering it. Katrina's wake has been used as a political tool to cast unwarranted blame on the US Federal administration and the president in particular. Katrina was a catalyst of sorts that transformed many things. It transformed average people into heros or animals...it transfomed New Orleans into either a  wasteland or a new and better beginning...but most visibly, it transformed the left biased news media in to open ranting partisan, race baiting demagogues to which no human tragedy or natural event cannot be manipulated into a political weapon against a conservative President. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;The bias in the MSM melted down their credibility irrevocably. In their making a hurricane into a blame Bush crusade devoid of fact, civil responsibility and in irreverent political profiteering on the back of human suffering, the partisan MSM has sealed its fate. The nation wanted a news service it can rely on and all it got was a partisan war of attrition with the flood in the background for emotional value......this is a MSM low point and it will either heal itself or become irrelevant in our lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;But what about the political fringe...the dank realms of the moonbat..what has Katrina transformed them into? If Katina changed media bias into uncivil irresponsible blame fixing and race baiting, what did it do to this moonbat fringe to whom uncivil, irrisponsible blame fixing and race baiting is staus quo?

This G&amp;A article is the first mention of Martin's pal Strong and his involvement in UN graft, and it does not expand on the connections to Martin's company or Strong's connections to Martin....it actually attempts to absolve Strong from responsibility and down-play the fact he took payola to invest in his pal the PM's companies......we further note these "companies" went chapter 11 quickly....it has been a well established (but unreported) fact that the penny stock junk bond start-ups were front companies used as slush funds for political campaigns and insider graft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There's ample evidence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.westernstandard.ca/website/index.cfm?page=article&amp;article_id=542"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/08/16/do1602.xml&amp;amp;sSheet=/portal/2005/08/16/ixportal.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.westernstandard.ca/website/index.cfm?page=article&amp;article_id=697"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/marinka090805.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.westernstandard.ca/website/index.cfm?page=article&amp;amp;article_id=662"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/cover042205a.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;for any investigative curiosity to drive a massive MSM scandal story....but what do we see in the Canadian MSM?....either dead silence or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1126198672832_8/?hub=Canada"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;white washes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.macleans.ca/switchboard/columnists/article.jsp?content=20050530_106565_106565"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;apologies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;I suppose the bottom line is this: Canadians have lived under the corrput shadow of a PMO connected corporate power elite centered in Powercor who engage in brokering influence Cnanada, the UN econo-sphere and China. Alumnus of this political-corporate insider profiteering cartel seems to pop up at the center of many Canadian public trust scandals and now UN-centered scandals....yet they have bought virtual anonymity and official absolution in the country they base their operations from ( Canada)...they have franchised the PMO as their global corporate office...the single party state acts as a funding mechanism for their scams and is used to hide and rubber stamp their insider dealing....they have bought the silence of the Canadian MSM. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;This&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=7cbkajrv2dqt3?tname=power-corporation-of-canada&amp;hl=paul&amp;amp;hl=desmarais&amp;sbid=lc02a"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Cartel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;has installed the occupant of the PMO for the past 35 years...yet your average Canadian hasn't a clue what Powercor is or its long list of political luminaries.
