Another social experiment



We talked about the Hamilton social experiment where a guy was being racist towards a Muslim and the people stuck up for the Muslim. Now we have another one where a Muslim and an Orthodox Jew are walking together through a Jewish neighbourhood, then through an Arab / Muslim neighbourhood. The people were a bit shocked but all were very supportive.

That's what I'm talking about. A free republic is where Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Atheists can all maintain their own religious traditions and live together in peace. Adapting a single state religion is not a free republic. The freedom of religion applies to everyone.

Then at the end of the video they walk through a mixed neighbourhood and a piece of white trash calls the Muslim a terrorist. I rather keep the Muslim and the Jew but get rid of the white trash.



The world needs compassion and action not hate and intolerance.

Gang news update - fatality at Fraser Pretrial



Kelowna Capital News is reporting that "The trial for the three men accused of the 2011 gangland style slaying of Jonathan Bacon has again been delayed. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Jason Thomas McBride and Michael Hunter Jones will now go to trial May 1 2017 for one charge of first-degree murder apiece, as well as multiple attempted murder charges and firearms offences. That date marks nearly six years since the shooting that threw Kelowna into chaos."

So Kling Klung is still taking the fall for the Kelowna shooting and the Jonathan Bacon murder. Might as well. Someone's gotta do it. Kelowna Capital News is also reporting that Mounties seized a load of cash and illegal drugs as the result of an investigation into two men with gang ties. It's obviously a Hells Angels rival because of the miniscule amount of drugs seized: 5.25 ounces of Heroin; 8.75 ounces of Cocaine; 2.5 ounces of Methamphetamine; and $21,000 cash.

I wonder if the BC Gang Task force is every going to target Hells Angels and the big drug rings again. Nobody seems to care about the massive amount of drugs being sold outside the Front Room on the Surrey Strip or the fact that the drug dealers just there sold a bad batch of crack laced with fentanyl. Instad of arresting the drug dealers in Surrey Bill Fordy is letting them set up illegal injection sites to help the drug dealers do more business. Still no word about the fentanyl fatality at Shakerz in the news.

Tragically there was a fatality at Fraser Pretrial. The Surrey Now is reporting that A 25-year-old man is dead after a fight between two cell mates at Surrey Pretrial on Wednesday (Aug. 3). A lot of work still needs to be done to address the violence in the prison system.

A drug lab was busted in Agassiz and an organized crime crackdown in New York. Too bad Surrey is too afraid to embrace the New York model. They're winning the war on crime. We're not.

Liu Xiaobo and Edward Snowden



When I attended the Falun Gong candlelight vigil a reporter asked me what was my message to the CPC- the Communist Party of China. My message for the CPC is the same as my message for the CIA - torture is wrong. The CPC are torturing Falun Gong practitioners in China. The CIA have black prison sites around the world where they torture prisoners without a trial or legal representation. That is just as wrong. We need to denounce both practices not just one.

The United States government is very passionate about supporting someone like Liu Xiaobo who is a political prisoner in China that won a nobel Peace Prize but they are someone less passionate about supporting someone like Edward Snowden who basically did the same thing. It's very different when the shoe is on the other foot.

Let's compare their crimes. Liu Xiaobo is currently in prison for signing Charter 08 which was modeled after the Charter 77 movement in Czechoslovakia, calling for greater freedom of expression, association, assembly and religion, meaningful elections and a judiciary not controlled by the Communist Party. For that crime he became a political prisoner.

The United States however, already has a similar charter that has become entrenched by law in the US Constitution which clearly is an inspired declaration. Edward Snowdon's crime wasn't to make a formal request that the US Constitution be created, he simply reported a secret society within the United States that were willfully and knowingly violating the Constitution which they had sworn an oath to protect against all enemies both foreign and domestic. This secret society had in fact become a domestic enemy of the constitution and Edward Snowden simply reported that fact and their unlawful conduct. For that crime the US government wants to arrest him for treason in the same way China has done for Liu Xiaobo. It's no different. It's the exact same.



When we look at Charter 08 we see that it is indeed a noble quest. However, the United States has a similar document and the government is violating it. We also need to remember that the Arab Spring model is very dangerous. In Egypt the people protested and demanded the government be disbanded and replaced. By whom? Who are you going to put in their place? Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.

The US Constitution wasn't put in place through civil disobedience, it was put in place through an armed revolution. The Americans were incredibly fortunate to have good leaders like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin who, once they had the power handed it over to the people on a silver platter like Russell Crowe in the movie the Gladiator. China and Russia weren't quite as fortunate. That is why armed revolutions are also very dangerous since they could go either way.

In Contrast, Canada, unlike the United States, was not born in the rocket's red glare. Canada was born out of the patient trust in the political process. In my opinion, that would be a safer model for the people of China since there are bad guys on both sides of the fence. Liu Xiaobo is a political prisoner. He simply signed a declaration that the government opposed. He did not launch and armed revolution. He should therefore be set free. Likewise, Edward Snowden should be set free and the real traitors he exposed who broke their oath to defend the constitution should be put in jail instead. Edward Snowden is a Patriot. The NSA are not. The NSA and the CIA are doing the same thing the CPC is. One is no better than the other. We need to denounce both if we are sincere about our quest for freedom and social justice.

Finian's Peace Plan for Communist China

Sometimes we need to ask for "the courage to change the things we can, the serenity to accept the things we cannot change and for the wisdom to know the difference." In times of war we sometimes need to make compromises because different people want different things. That's democracy. Instead of forcing China to adapt the American model I have an alternative suggestion. How about adopting the Cuban model? Won't my old friends in CUPW be thrilled and shocked to hear me say that.

After the revolution in Cuba they established a Marxist Leninist atheist state. However, it was slightly different. They didn't ban religion altogether, they simply discriminated against it. They allowed religion but said you can't join the Communist party if you practice a religion and since there was only one political party allowed, no one who practiced a religion could run for office. Some might say this is a compromise and that is absolutely true. It is. However, it is better than the current situation where members of the Falun Gong are being put in prison and tortured for their religious affiliation. Tortue needs to stop. Murder for organ harvesting needs to stop. Yet China does not have to adapt the American model to do that. They can do that right now and still be Communists if they follow the Cuban model.

If the CPC did that, I would support them. I'd say let's do business. Let's make some money. Does Hong Kong or Tibet become free and independent? No they don't but Buddhists in Tibet would be free to practice their religion. The Dalai Lama could return home just not run for office. Hong Kong would remain part of China but they would be allowed to speak Cantonese if they so chose. Forcing people to give up their language is wrong. In time they will embrace Mandarin because they want to do business with mainland China. A system based on incentive is much more productive at accomplishing your goal.

Currently, in Canada I can buy a Christian Christmas nativity set made by Communist China. Can you not see the irony in that? China doesn't allow it's own people to practice a religion but is willing to make money off of religious goods they make for people living outside of China. Why not let them have a nativity set in China? If you build it, you are making money from it. If China embraced the Cuban model the CPC wouldn't have to fear about the Bamboo curtain falling like the Berlin wall did. They could keep their traditions while they respected the traditions of others. It would be a win win situation for everyone involved. Peace.

Organ harvesting is big business - Update



For the month of August the Falun Gong protest has moved from the Chinese consulate in Vancouver to the Art Gallery. They are raising public awareness of the current atrocities political prisoners are facing in Communist China and asking people to sign mail in cards to their member of parliament in preparation for Justin Trudeau's' upcoming trip to China next month. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed with our trading partner.

Organ harvesting is indeed big business. Ethan Gutmann has written two books about China's practice of organ harvesting from political prisoners. In a video posted on his website he talks about Dr Ko from Taiwan stumbling into something terrible in China. He was looking into the quality of care for transplant patients. Elderly people in Taiwan who wanted to get an organ. China is obviously the go to place for that. The wait list in Taiwan was a death sentence for someone who need a new liver. In 2004 / 2005 China was advertising prices for organ transplants. Dr Ko goes to China and speaks with the doctors there about the quality of organs. Dr Ko was told you dont have to worry about the quality of these organs because they are Falun Gong. These are people that don't smoke or drink. They practice very healthy chi gong.

Everyone in Taiwan knows the Falun Gong are arrested and tortured in China. The fact that the government was selling organs from Falun Gong political prisoners was something new. It clearly is a big market. On some of the literature posted at the Art Gallery they listed the going proces for various organs. It is big business indeed.

Now that we have entered the Twilight Zone we need to discuss Stephen Harper's all inclusive trade agreement with Communist China. We realize that compensation awards under NAFTA chapter 11 we're insane. The agreement said private corporations could sue the government at a tribunal if the government made a law that stood in it's way of making a profit. Typical cases that came to light were companies that wanted to export toxic chemicals like PCP. I kid you not. So if NAFTA chapter 11 prevented governments from banning hazardous wastes, how does this new Trade agreement with China deal with organ harvesting from political prisoners? Can they sue the government at a tribunal if the government makes a law preventing them from making a profit? Do we see where these insane trade agreements are taking us? They have nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with giving up our sovereignty and our democracy.

The fact that this kind of atrocity can actually exist in our day is astounding. What's even more astounding is the local mainstream media's refusal to report on it. What is happening to our country? Where are the right wing better dead than red conservatives? This is your opportunity to show the world the evils of communism. More importantly this is our opportunity to speak out against a modern day genocide.

The Falun Gong protest is on the Howe street side of the Vancouver Art Gallery Teusday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 Noon t 3:00 PM weather permitting. They also have a table and banner set up outside Canada Place.



Please take the time to sign their petition and fill out a mail in card for your MP. This issue is a lot more important the the front page news of a family dog in Surrey getting hit by a stray bullet. We are talking about a modern day genocide.



Update: It turns out back in 2014 the Epoch Times reported that "During Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent visit to China, the Subcommittee on International Human Rights unanimously passed a motion condemning the Chinese regime’s practice of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience. This is the actual motion.

David Matas and David Kilgour are in a movie about this shocking atrocity called Human Harvest. This is the trailer on youtube. You can watch the entire movie on their web site.

Hard to Believe is another documentary on this international crime. "This is one of the most catastrophic human rights violations of our time." This is a Canadian petition.

This is far worse than anything Cuba has ever done. Doing business with China but boycotting Cuba is a colossal double standard. Stephen Harper knew about China's organ harvesting when he handed over our oil rights to them and signed that insane trade agreement with them. Who's the real Communist now? It's all about manipulating the media.

Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton the founder of ISIS



Interesting to see how the media is promoting Hillary Clinton in the next election. So much for being unbiased. I agree Trump is a raging lunatic but I am also very concerned that Hillary is even worse. After all she was the author of Operation Fast and Furious. She should be in jail not running for office. How those two won the nomination is a serious concern for everyone.

This recent article from the Washington Post which is the same MSM outlet that falsely attacked Gary Webb mocks Trump for some of the terms he has used to reference Hillary. He has called her Crooked Hillary, an enabler for her husband’s infidelity, Trigger happy, Perhaps the most corrupt presidential candidate ever, a dirty rotten liar, the devil, a pathological liar and now the founder of ISIS. Sounds about right to me. Lunacy aside those are all true statements which is causing Americans to ask what on earth has happened to the nomination process.

His ISIS quote was actually "We let ISIS take this position," Trump said Wednesday. "It was Hillary Clinton; she should get an award from them as the founder of ISIS." The crowd responded by chanting "Lock her up!" She most certainly should be locked up for her involvement with Operation Fast and Furious. Her current and former connections to the CIAs drug trafficking network do cause us to ask about her ties to ISIS since the CIA were the ones that created ISIS and fund it directly not just indirectly through the unlawful invasion of Iraq.



A friend from the United States posted a video clip of comedian Jim Carrey with an arrow in each leg comparing that with having to vote for Hillary or Trump. They likened it to being shot in the leg with an arrow. Which leg would you prefer? How about neither.

This dilemma is causing some pretty frightening conversations in the US. Acknowledging that the two candidates are both awful, this article in Marketwatch addresses the dilemma and offers some possible solutions. They suggest voting for the party not the candidate. They suggest voting for the lesser of two evils. They even suggest not voting at all. Tragic.

One American who commented on the Jim Carey video clip said "I don't know how both parties possibly could've chosen the two worst possible candidates. That definitely says something about how either the elections work now, or about us as Americans..."

Another said "Hillary is the most corrupt and if you don't believe that well you have a problem. I am voting for Donald trump I don't care what anybody thinks. I know what Hillary will do. I know what Bernie will do. So I am going to give trump a chance."

Other comments include: "Even if that's the 2 to vote for.. you don't have to pick one.. you can write in anyone's name... so.. write in bernie." "Voting for the lesser of two evils is still an evil. There's a third option Gary Johnson, the only logical choice!"

"Not a scam, serious stuff, had one jackass, don't want another one. By the way Hillary is the JACKASS for all you People who love liars, killers, scammers and did I mention jack-asses?"

So let's compare the American two party system with the one party system in China and Cuba. Is it really that different? I do not support the one party system. I'm simply using the analogy to show how our democracy is being eroded and how we are walking down the slippery slope of Corporate Communism which is taking us to the same place Cuba and China is in. Somewhere we really don't want to go.

Cuba and China are Communist. They only allow one political party. That is not a democracy nor is it a free republic. However, the two party system is being hijacked. Jesse Ventura was once asked his opinion about the two party system in the United States. He sarcastically said I think it's great. It's like being asked what do you want to drink - coke or pepsi? He said they are both soft drinks. They are a little bit different but basically they're the same. So whose fault is that?

The problem is in the nomination process. How do we fix it? I don't know. I do know a Communist Revolution is not the answer. That's like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. However, the CIAs control of the media and the nomination process is a huge concern for every American who loves and cherishes freedom.



Senator Joseph McCarthy may have been a bit extreme but when he claimed Comunists had taken over the CIA he was absolutely right. History has recorded that. Wall Street funding FARC shows eactly where Corporate Communism really leads.

Now let's compare that to the one party system in China. I am told that there is a division within the Communist party in China. Two different schools of thought so to speak. Is it possible that the one party system could be more democratic than the two party system if there was in fact real room for different opinions to be expressed? Wouldn't that be ironic? Before we save the world we need to salvage and save democracy here at home. We need to preserve and protect the Constitution and the Charter of Rights because it is indeed hanging by a thread as we speak.

New Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Inquirey



CBC is reporting that Five new commissioners have been chosen for a new Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Inquiry and that B.C.'s 1st female First Nations judge will lead the national inquiry. Let's hope it's better than the last one and not more smoke and mirrors.

I'm not sure how this relates to the Dianne Rock story and the Pickton Farm since many of those murdered women weren't First Nations. Many were. I certainly hope non native women won't be excluded from this inquiry. I don't know if Janice Shore was First Nations but I do know the First Nation Elders held a vigil for her on the site in Whalley she was found brutally beaten into a coma.

We need to reexamine the Pickton Farm since Willy was convicted based on the fact that he was not the only participant nor was he the prime suspect, just a willing participant. Dianne Rock being gang raped on the Pickton farm clearly implicates more than one suspect. I wonder if this inquiry will tell us which off duty police officers attended parties at Piggy's Palace. It would be very interesting to hear how Jim Brown fits into that picture.

Finian Commission uncovers the Pickton cover up

Teen couple shot to death in Alberta



CBC is reporting that "The people of Whitefish Lake First Nation, along with friends and family from across Alberta and across the country, have come together this week to mourn two teenagers shot to death on their remote reserve north of Lesser Slave Lake. Cory Grey and Dylan Laboucan both had graduated Grade 12 and planned to leave the reserve this week for Slave Lake, where they had rented an apartment and had been accepted to attend Northern Lakes College."

"Grey lived with Laboucan and his parents in a trailer on the reserve. On Saturday, July 23, Laboucan, 17, was found unconscious in front of that trailer by a cousin who lived nearby. The cousin drove to a nearby home to call 911, and when he returned Laboucan's body was gone. Grey was nowhere to be found. The community mobilized within hours to search for the teens. Laboucan was found on Monday, and Grey on Tuesday - their bodies dumped on well sites a few kilometres apart. RCMP are investigating their deaths as a double homicide."

High Strung



On a more posative note and on a distant tangent, I just finished watching the movie High Strung. As one review said, it may well have an oversued story line but the movie portrays the passion one glimpses when people find and share their art with the world. Not all of us are dancers or musicians yet all of us can appreciate music and art. I think the key to life is to find your passion whatever that may be and follow it. That's what it's all about.

I can't play, but I enjoy music. It is indeed an expression of the heart. I like old school and I like to see it remixed with contemporary. Bringing two worlds together and creating something new. As I said before it can take us to that magical place where blind men see. It can take us to infinity where we can ponder the solemnities of eternity. I love New York. Respect the City yo.

Lindsey Stirling - Transcendence. Now that's one Fiddler on the Roof.



The Touch of the Master's Hand: "You know there's many a man with his life out of tune, Battered and scared with sin and he's auctioned cheap, To a thankless world much like that old violin, Oh, but then the Master comes, And that old foolish crowd they never understand, The worth of a soul and the change that is rought, Just by one touch of the Masters hand." Peace.

Bill Tieleman speaks out on Nuttall Entrapment - Update



Amazing article by Bill Tieleman on the police misconduct related to the John Nuttall Entrapment Case. The Vancouver 24 hours is reporting that "Why did the RCMP create the July 1, 2013 BC Legislature bomb plot, and train and equip a hapless, methadone-addicted, developmentally-challenged couple to undertake terrorist actions? And why did the RCMP also break Canada’s laws in doing so? Money - lots and lots of money - is the answer."

"$2.8 billion annually and over 29,000 employees. The RCMP depends on the federal government for its funding - and counterterrorism dollars depend on results, as I wrote in 24 Hours in 2013 after covering Nuttall and Korody’s first court appearances. And in the RCMP’s Departmental Performance Report, their goal is to achieve six targets of: Terrorist criminal activity is prevented, detected, responded to and denied. In their 2013-14 report - the year Nuttall and Korody were disrupted - the RCMP claim 14 successful operations - that no doubt being one of them. That’s why it’s so reprehensible that the RCMP wasted precious resources creating an illegal terrorism plot using the hapless Nuttall and Korody instead of countering real terrorists - and why this ruling demands action to stop RCMP recklessness."

God Bless Bill Tieleman. He was one of the brave few mainstream reporters that stepped up to the plate in the wake of Dan Rather and told the truth during this case. He cited a case in the US where “James Cromitie (was) a low-level ex-drug dealer who converted to Islam. A well-paid FBI informant befriended the Walmart worker and promised him $250,000 and a new BMW car to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York.” That case went well beyond entrapment.

If you give a drug addict weapons and offer him $250,000 and a new BMW to use those weapons, you haven't saved the world from a terrorist, you just created one. As he recently pointed out Bill Tieleman subsequently put out another award winning article exposing the fact that the RCMP now have terrorist quotas to bolster their budget like traffic tickets. That insane policy needs to end. That' like setting a quota on catching bank robbers by creating them.

We are all very fortunate this couple wasn't shot dead during the takedown like in a similar case in Australia. If that had happened we would never have found out about the abuse of process and the real motivation behind the fraud. Bill Tieleman is right. This ruling demands action to stop RCMP recklessness and fiscal irresponsibility.

As for the kid in Australia that was shot, his family is a friend of my family. The man I know was a cop in Afghanistan. He was shot by the Taliban and had to leave Afghanistan with his family. Why on earth would a kid join a terrorist organization that shot a member of his own family and were the reason they had to leave Afghanistan? The answer is simple. He didn't. He was not a terrorist. They set up and shot an innocent man.

Update: The Tyee ran a more indepth version of Bill Tieleman's article called BC Terror Trial Verdict a Scathing Indictment of RCMP Management. In this article he declares "The reference to planning news conferences in advance of a “terrorist bomb attack” shows the importance senior RCMP officers placed on the case. There was no thwarting of a deadly attack – merely a public relations exercise concocted to secure funding."

"The RCMP spent over $900,000 in overtime on this case. More than 240 officers worked on the investigation. The final bill to taxpayers will be in the multi-millions." There are better ways to spend tax dollars. Stop the Appeal and stop the fiscal insanity.

"Are there real terrorist threats in Canada that require RCMP intervention? Absolutely. That’s why it’s so reprehensible that the RCMP wasted precious resources creating an illegal terrorism plot using the hapless Nuttall and Korody instead of countering real terrorists - and why this ruling demands action to stop RCMP recklessness."

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - Making an ex parte application for a peace bond without notifying the other lawyers was a dirty deed done dirt cheap. History has recorded that.

Surrey Homicide after 51st shooting



Global is reporting that a man has died after being shot in the 13900-block of Antrim Road on Sunday night in Surrey. One person died in a double shooting last Saturday night in Surrey. Two more people were shot outside the illegal lethal injection site on the Whalley Strip early Thursday morning on welfare night. That marked Surrey's 50th shooting of the year.

Update: The Vancouver sun is reporting that The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) identified the victim as 27-year-old Sean Christopher Kelly and that he has a lengthy criminal record for firearm and drug trafficking charges.
