Film Unions vs. Artists

I'm reading an excellent book called "The Film Director as Superstar"
Inside it's cheesy 70's cover is a collection of interviews with famous directors
most of whom began with self funded independent films
Reading it has reaffirmed much of what I've seen here
in "hollywood north", the same kind of ripoffs and control
it's amazing.

I've actually liked unions for most of my life.
If it wasn't for unions, we'd all be serfs, not just the majority of us.
Unions grew out of gangs, and gangs are basically unions of poor people
sticking together to oppose the oppression, domination, and thievery of the rich.
Most unions started out from businesses built by gangs that originated from racial discrimination.

So the Italian, Irish, Black, Hispanic, etc. immigrants who encountered hatred and discrimination when they came to north america, banded together to make work for each other and protect their people from ending up in sweatshops.

The book is facinating.
The starting stories of these directors are really similiar to what I've encountered here in this city.
Kubrick, De Palma, Lucas, Polanski, and others all seem to tell a similar story, with some excellent quotes I might add later to this.

Their first couple films had to be made with their own money.
No one wanted them to tell THEIR story.
All the money people, the "hollywood" bullshit, tried to keep them from making their first films
tried to shut them out, shut them up
Because they didn't want anyone else to control their vision
They didn't want to make a film by comittee
they had a vision, and they were willing to work with a small crew of independents to make it happen.
Now they are all superstar award winners.
But in the beginning, their first films almost didn't get made
because of the hierarchical control system of the tinseltown monopolists
and active harassment by film unions.

The film unions pressured each of these directors, even threatening them.
But none of these now famous men could afford to make their first films that way
Hiring union people requires lots of money and a much larger crew
and as soon as someone else pays the money
then the message gets altered

to please the investors

These are men who are now seen as giants in film
innovators, risk takers, visionaries
It wasn't until they had some success with their own work, funded with life's savings, that they could get funding without their work being subject to alteration by a goldmonger.

the groundbreaking eraserheads and dark stars,
would never be made in the hierarchical studio system.

The professional closure that unions create is good for the workers that are represented by a union
but terrible for art itself.

A union doesn't care that it's churning out 20 movies a year that sell guns and death to children
It's people are making money
It doesn't care that someone has a greater artistic vision
If they don't want to submit to the control of the money people
the union itself will help to rip them off.

Robert Cooper is in a union.
So when he shook my hand and agreed to 15-20% of what he made for me on the ideas he used from our consultation, and then subsequently broke that deal, the union stands behind him.

IATSE calls me up and asks me to join.
I wonder why I would?
Most of the movies made in Vancouver are shit films made by committee
2 of my films have now been stolen by people who are union members
hundreds of union people in vancouver know the whole story about him ripping me off and cineworks ripping me of before that.

Ironically, if I had my proper earned credit on both works,
I would be able to apply for the writer's union.

The little girl in the park suddenly points her finger at me like a gun
"I'm killing you" she says

that's what we make for her here....

nose to ground

As I wander, scavenging
I have no time to write...

The Great Depression and the mass murder of the poor...

So we've recreated the great depression
10% + unemployment rates
rrsp rip offs
life savings destroyed
unscrupulous business owners paying unliveable wages
using "the economy" as an excuse
union workers who once spit on the poor, laughing
now stand in food bank lines
provinces finding every little reason to disqualify people for the most basic of benefits
basic food and shelter
minimum wages that don't pay enough for basic rent

The Feds have to realize
that at some point there is a bottom
that we can't drive people below.

The provinces are squeezing people trying to cut everyone off of basic welfare
people with disabilities
getting harassed constantly
if you harass them enough maybe they'll give up and leave

whole communities displaced

There should be no way that someone can be cut off from the basics.
The most basic.
People who are 60+ shouldn't be forced to work or look for work.

and we give handouts to the fatcats
who've been bleeding everyone for years.

Get ready for the big party, the Olympics is here
clean up the mess, shovel these people into graves,
or better yet cremate them

so we have room for more of the rich from other countries
fuck the poor from here...

delayed

I want to add a lot more stuff to my human sacrifice in vancouver story,
People actually think I'm joking or making it up.


but survival is in the way, got to keep alive.

and when I'm not scrounging for scraps or finding a place for us to snooze
I keep looking around for a pussycat...

I'm trying the other side of the tracks maybe, where they're not so finicky.

Funny attitudes, those cats.

here's a good story...

Join a forum, spew and regurgitate...

9 billion for a company that's bankrupting, ZERO for the millions destroyed in the new depression....

9 billion for GM, which is then going to go bankrupt?
No liquidating of the top executives fees?
I think we need to make corporate accountability a reality.
anyone in that company who made more than $1 million per year should have the last 5 years of their money over $1 million taken up by the creditors and gov't.
Auto workers were some of the highest paid workers in the country.
Let GM tank, give it nothing, and backwards absorb overpayment of executives, then put the 9 billion into Social Services and put that $50 Billion the conservatives stole from the EI surplus last year back into EI.

You're rewarding the pigs who ate all the food from the table, and still ignoring the ground level.

Harper, you're a dick.

The NDP really don't want to win...DO US A FAVOR JACK!!!!

Hey Jack
You've lost 3 times already.
It's time to give it up
For the good of your country, hand the leadership of the NDP to someone with a bit more testosterone, because that's the only way to beat the old boy's network, with an old boy.
Get it straight buddy, if you had what it takes to win, you would have won by now.

Carol could have been the smoothest talker in the world,
but B.C. is an old boys network,
and political correctness or not the rich would rather have a drunk driver with testicles than any woman with any qualifications. I'm not being misogynist, I'm being a realist.
Sure it's great to see women in politics, but Canada is still very patriarchal when it comes to government and law.
That is REALLY why Gordon Campbell won again in B.C.

It was a noble experiment. But what it showed us is that the NDP won't do what it takes to win over the hearts of a rabid cannibalistic society that eats its young...

The Wickerman, Neo Pagan Reconstruction, Inquisitions and Lemmings: Human Sacrifice and Ritual Murder in Vancouver...

I know you're intrigued.
I know you won't believe its happening here in Canada, in Vancouver, in this wonderful place.
Wake up and take off the rose colored glasses,
it's happening everywhere
It will be better than you think.
And scary. So prepare yourself.

There are no unbroken lines of knowledge.

Through the purges and inquisitions, the hatreds compounded, the ages of darkness, war upon war, we lost everything we had found.

The "Old Ways" they ramble of are re-creations
We must create ourselves anew, looking forward, not backward.

We can be deeply spiritual without resorting to idiocy.
Using fiction and foolishness to ascend taints the water of our lives.
We cannot grow life using water mixed with black oil.
No matter how erudite our explanations may be.

I really loved the Wickerman
It was an amazing film, with an interesting history.
It almost never made it to theaters.
The director is currently working on another similar film.

Being a "horror cult classic", the Wickerman has drawn millions of viewers, many of whom are high as a kite on hallucinogens (entheogens).
I know I was melting along with the walls the first time I saw it.
Hmmm.
Anyways. It's great. Horror without gore in the best of suspenseful movie traditions.
With the always fascinating Christopher Lee
Lee is well known for his many horror films
I always associate him with Dracula and its sequels...

The wickerman had a beautiful take on paganism, and a very well portrayed vision of this little island cult. Lee's performance and monologues describing the island and it's beliefs, even at the end, when the wickerman is being lit, are very convincing.

I'm astounded sometimes at the bleeding over of ideas between genres, people, religions.
It is a fiction, yes.
And like other horror works throughout the history of film, there have been lots of people who got a bit too wrapped up in it and took its words and representations as "truth".
Like those who believe they are vampires did with Dracula.

It's an odd thing, but common. I recently read about a 5 year old who was convinced he was imbued with all the qualities of Airbender. I'm sure most people can remember someone who believed in a particular movie just a bit too much.

So little we know of the deep influence new forms of media such as television have, never before in our history have we spent so much time as passive receivers of stories, instead of the interactive stories and books we once used.

The concepts of the wickerman moved like a meme through our society at the same time the works of Crowley, Levi, Wilson, and Barker began to achieve wide circulation after centuries of severe print censorship began to erode..........

I place Crowley and Wilsion together here on purpose.
Many people consider Crowley a Prophet
I honestly prefer Kahil Gibran
Many people consider Wilson a prophet for his wondrously sick Illuminatus trilogy.
If you take either one as "truth" you are a bit foolish.
Crowley needs to be read with a huge amount of skepticism, one tenth of each of his works is truly useful and the other 90% is a huge mind fuck, a labyrinth of mind traps for the Fool walking carelessly on the precipice...
And with the dawn of mass media, we've got a whole shitload of mindfucked zombies shuffling about looking for brains to eat, because they lost theirs somewhere along the way in their journey to know their inner light...

But people want information about themselves, and they'll lap up anything that might have some nutrition, regardless of the poisons hidden under the sugar.

We can learn about ourselves without recreating the mistakes of the past.
Older data is not usually not true, and we have to remember that the majority of written work and research on spirituality, especially by individuals and more "nature based" philosophies was lost in the great purges of the inquisition. What we have left are mostly fakeries, mishmashed collections, and christian influenced collections that are far from the original material.

The christian religions have disillusioned many people with inherent hypocrisies and abuses, so people go searching...

So many people searching for spiritual truth, they want the keys to their own being given to them with the smallest amount of work possible, and in their searches they pore over old texts, many of which are truly filled with rubbish. They find their nuggets of truth perhaps, but they always seem to grip tightly to some piece of rubbish or another that blackens them, and there are no shortage of "leaders" to lead them even further astray.

The idea is to ignite the light inside you, without getting it wrapped up in spikey black shit.

One thing that constantly amazes me is how many people I've met who are against christianity, but then they lock themselves into a paradigm that's based on Jewish Qabbalah. Golden Dawn, O.T.O, Thelema, Theosophy, Masonism, Rosicrucianism, they are all based on Qabbalah, which is Torah, which is the basic foundation of the Old Testament, which forms the base of Orthodox Christianity.

It doesn't make any sense to me at all. I'm not Jewish, so Qabbalah really doesn't do anything for me, just like Jesus doesn't have any special significance to someone with Jewish heritage. Why would someone seeking spiritual knowledge that's different from Christianity choose an alternative that's basically the the same shit?

Kabbalah itself is supposedly a very beautiful system, according to some level headed spiritualists I've spoken with. It's just really obtuse and convoluted and requires more than one translation to study properly if you don't read hebrew.

The problem lies with the approach that many non-jewish occultists such as Crowley have taken where any Christian symbolism is reversed, in black and white, making bad=good and good=bad.
It's far to simplified and just makes a strange Frankenstein monster of the process, leading to sickness and hierarchical foolishness. LeVey's take on "satanism" (TM) does a similar reversal structure of the christian system rather than start from scratch and use a proper observational method. In the end we end up with a whole lot of little badasses running around trying to be"evil" while basically following the same orthodox theological cosmology in reverse that they pretend to oppose. They use the same names, the same references and books and dictates and just try to view them in their "mirrored" system.

On top of this Christian/Orthodox/Judaic cultural appropriation, they attach other religious concepts, most notably the "Egyptian" motif that Crowley and the Masonic orders are so fond of.
In case you've lived under a rock all your life, the Egyptians were a nasty bunch 2000 years ago, enslaving whole civilizations, treating people as less than animals, and strangely enough, they hated the Jewish people and brutally enslaved them.

Doesn't anyone else think combining Egyptian pantheism with Judaic mysticism seem a little like breeding lions with sheep?

Theosophy didn't really do much better, combining Kabbalah with Hinduism and other "eastern" motifs. Again they just took a bunch of over ritualized hierarchical concepts appropriated from other cultures and stirred them together to create a weird stew that would sell books, draw donations and bring neophytes to the fold.

This Reactionism in general is at the root of a resurgence in over-reliance on Ritual, Cultural Appropriation, and eventually throwing everything into the pot, including human lives.
Trading one set of paradigms for another is useless if we don't critically evaluate our purposes for doing so and assess the results with regards to our needs or expectations.

I once sat through a hour long presentation by an occultist who was explaining how to "properly" make a magic circle. She professed to be "wiccan" and then proceeded to outline a 6 hour circle building process based on information from 3 old grimoires, one of which is a proven hoax, and they were all based on Qabbalist interpretations and lists of "demons" and symbols, mostly focused on the seal of solomon. As if these "demons" or ethereal beings really answer to names in human languages such as hebrew and don't answer to any other form of address.

I thought it was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.
The reality of circles is, they are a projection of your mind,
so all you need is your mind, chalk is just a crutch.
Imagine a cylinder of light around you, it's easier than a sphere.
That's really it. All of it.

Reality is a subjective interpretation for each and every human
and the range of this experience is vast.

Yet collectively and individually we all have evolutions to towards new versions of ourselves

Our society has indeed seen many forms of human sacrifice, from individuals to mass genocides where suffering is collected, with so many great explanations for our descent into madness.
What starts with one, creates another and another until a once nurturing society becomes a continual scene of murder.

And that's probably the greatest of reasons for our need to look closely and see that people do this thing even now. In our last century there were many little groups of all denominations committing these atrocities, torture and death for enlightenment.

The Inquisition and Salem Witch trials were christian forms of human sacrifice.
Few people realize that some of the victims of the salem trials weren't even pubescent.
High ranking officials of the SS engaged in a number of human sacrifices before their "mediums" decided the best were children, and lots of orphans disappeared around their facility.
There were so many orphans, like the homeless today, that no one really spoke up.

Millions died in the horrifying purges of the Inquisition.
King Charlemagne, long recognized for many societal reforms, killed over 10, 000 germanic "pagans" in one day because they refused to convert to christianity. One religious belief killing another is basically a sacrifice for one's "god". IMHO

One school of Buddhism in some parts of the world still uses torture and murder in ritual, although almost every other form of Buddhism has a no harm to life policy.
There have always been "Brujo" that follow this path, the great sacrificial edifices of certain Maya cultures show us such a focus on pain and blood, death magic to the extreme,
and coming up to 2012 there is an increased interest in them by many new agers.
Egypt spilled blood in massive amounts as well, and was well known for it's massive implementation of slavery.
Masonic orders, basically a form of orthodox christianity with qabbalist and eastern mystical components have tried every form of religious rite in their past, and some would argue that there is evidence to support modern practices of human sacrifice in the rituals of some lodges.

Just a few years ago a large number of people were killed in various parts of Africa for reputedly using "magic" or "juju" to cause men's penises to shrink.

Stoning someone still happens regularly around the world, and always for a religious moralist reason.

Everywhere there have been people who tried human sacrifice.
In the "developed" countries it usually occurs smaller groups or alone because of the knowledge that common society around them would dissaprove...

Why?

Because it's easy.
It works and it's easy
like a huge greasy mcdick burger that fills the void and makes you feel full,
but in the end gives you a lot less than you needed and even causes harm.
It's a fast way to tip a lot of people over the edge quickly, but in doing so it spreads a sickness through the participants, and that sickness always spreads.
If the participants don't go mad and kill themselves, they eventually internalize the event and create their own explanatory mythology to justify it.
And out of a huge mass of participants, offshoots break out, and new centers of the same shite begin to propogate.

Once a year becomes twice a year becomes 8 or 12 times a year,
becomes every time they have a fucking party.
Why don't we try it, becomes "that was exciting" and eventually becomes WTF.
And it multiplies and spreads,
the large numbers of participants looking for a thrill always equates to a form of profit,
in followers or admissions,
which then makes others want to recreate the same profit making event

It's also a huge well of EGO that usually initiates these things.
I am so great, we will do the ultimate blah blah blah....
but so much of the "occult" or "magic" or "religion" is really about ego in the face of something we all contain within us to some degree or another.

What I always find interesting,
is those that practice evil shit never really seem gain that much...

So I'll go through a couple different ways that this sickness manifests in reality, and how it affects both the participants and society in general...

The first is the standard Big Ritual with the dais/altar/centrepiece.
In the center is a victim or (2/3) and everybody involved is part

The second is the Scarlet Whore takedown propogated through the fetishistic adoration of Crowley's work. Basically, a coven concentrates their energy and efforts on a woman who has a great depth of spiritual power, and through drugs, sex, and coercive mental subversion they gradually turn her into a whore. In more refined covens she has a role similiar to a "holy courtesan" and in covens that are more base and focused on negative, evil aims she is brought down to the level of a street crack whore, and eventually dies debased and riddled with disease.

This methodology has long been used by Christian congregations as well, especially on women who had the audacity to try and divorce their husbands or remain single and sexually active after the death of their partner. Through the mechanisms Social Stigma and Social Economic Closure they make sure that she is unable to get work or any means to live so that in the end her choice is to either become a prostitute or go back to the flock and live piously. If she becomes a prostitute she may even be murdered by a member of the church with no serious ramifications for the killer as her death is seen as a form of religious "justice" which is used to keep other women in the group from attempting to gain freedom as well.

This methodology can also be used on someone outside of the group, which is common in "satanist" forms of practice where "weakness" is seen as the greatest of human evils, someone outside the group who is homeless or has addictive behaviors is brought down through character assassination and other indirect methodologies to a point where they lose contact with family or friends that might miss them or support them. Often members of of the attacking group will directly subvert and influence the minds and attitudes of the victims family and community in an effort to "give no ground" for the person to run to. Once the person is down and socially isolated, extensive attempts are further made to either make the person kill themselves, overdose, become jailed through group-made accusations, or simply get them into a position where they can be murdered in a group ritual without anyone noticing and no repercussions for the group.

Murder of the victim is often achieved through indirect means:
- give someone a tainted needle, or some other contact with aids or other sickness
-taint a user's drug supply
-poison
-Direct pharmacological attack as in the powder blowing scene of "serpent and the rainbow"
-having someone with a strong illness/flu/cold make transferable contact with the target
-"random" violence or abduction

These methods are difficult to point at, skirt around the concept of direct murder, and can be easily explained away by the group, except for the time of the death, which will generally coincide with a common spiritual day/week/time where the group focuses on their "ritual path"

In the end we have a whole bunch of "spiritual" members of society who could be a force of positive energy walking about trying to deal with a bad case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and waves of psyche destroying guilt, a fine state for a would-be brainwasher to come along and mold them to a more adversarial form...

One of the main offshoots of this disturbing trend is that it is not really the "weak" that are targeted, but those who create possibly profitable works but have no means of production or distribution access. The group will target someone who has something like a book, a set of songs, artwork, an invention, an idea that can be worth profit. The group then targets this person as a prospect for their sacrifice, uses the methods outlined here and others to destroy them, and acquires the profit making object/idea that the now deceased could not capitalize on due to lack of resources or contacts. In effect they achieve robbery and murder, claim righteousness within their paradigm, split the profits, and have a good laugh after the funeral, which they usually attend. A homeless artist with 3000 attendees at their funeral is common in L.A. and other large cities, and now it begins to become prevalent here in sunny Vancouver (and elsewhere in Canada). Shortly after they have a "retrospective" to market the stolen works within a social gathering facade. And have another good laugh.

I've watched it happen more than once.

Another common target is practitioners of other spiritual systems, however, since the other congregation may intercede it is often lone practitioners such as shamans or the self initiated that become targets. Or neophytes who don't understand the process they are going through

Again, many against one is not a true form of weakness, and hopefully in more than one case the backlash of the target's community, or the vengeance of the "target" themselves may alter the societal perception of who is the prey and who is the hunter. In fact this is a common "job" of Shamans in many cultures worldwide, to point out murderers, thieves, pedophiles, rapists and others that hide within the community under a facade of respectability. The Shaman, who lives outside of the hierarchical structure and usually at a distance from the regular community has a point of view that is less hindered by ties, strictures, and games that allow a predator to hide in plain sight and even hold immense power within the community.

The various spiritual communities that fit under the moniker of Neopaganism need to be aware that allowing another clan to commit these acts unchallenged will in the end result in a blanket accusation against all of them, just as one or two rogue Santerian priests caused hundreds of other law-abiding Santerian groups to be targeted during the 70's. Literally millions of good honest people with nature-based philosophies and spiritual practices have died because of one or two groups in an area or country following the path of atrocity.

There is more! but again we must take a short break...

Why would I write about such things you wonder?
Because people have definitely disappeared.
People I once knew. People who made good conversation.

And the madness still lights up some foolish followers eyes,
a secretive laughter that reeks of lunacy.

I'd rather people did copious amounts of drugs and meditated together.
It's fast and sometimes dirty too, but at least it's not murder.

There's more, this topic is going to take me a couple of weeks to finish, and I have to clean it up and give more references, because I don't want to leave it hanging...

no pun intended...
but you might find an antidote for the madness here

I would also like to note that I'm not really against traditions that perform animal sacrifice, but my personal belief is that it should be a form of feast and shouldn't incur cruelty.
It's not my cup of tea, but I like a good barbecue once in a while.

Many people don't realize it, but the common image of "Baphomet" by Levi (a qabbalist), is actually a drawing of the "Goat of Mendes", a representation of a communal goat sacrifice common to many primitive cultures in many regions. His version was from images found in a region called Mendes.

#25 - What Canada Really Needs: A NEW and more complete Charter of Rights!

(What Canada Really Needs 1-24)

Canada needs a new and more complete charter of Human Rights, one that actually spells out the basic human rights of each and every Canadian.
Even though we have a charter, it is incomplete, vague, and doesn't actually describe even the basic human rights that need to be afforded to every Canadian citizen.
It also, contrary to the separation of church and state, ascribes a monotheistic "god" to be the top legal entity to which we as Canadians are subject.
So over the next few days I'm going to flesh out what I consider the most basic common human rights that I believe every single Canadian should be able to expect and even demand...

Pariah's list of Basic Human Rights for all Canadians,
(and all human beings on the planet)

Every Human that resides in the dominion of Canada, or is recognized by the Government of Canada as a Canadian citizen shall be accorded the following Rights as a human being at all times:

1. 12 feet by 12 feet of covered space for themselves, their belongings, their pets, regardless of their financial ability to acquire land.
2. an absolute minimum of 2 nutritious meals (ie: a bowl of good soup and some bread) per day regardless of their ability to pay and without requiring them to travel more than 2 miles to acquire this nutrition.
3. Accessible and safe washroom facilities within 1 mile of their living space and shower facilities within 3 miles of their living space, without charges for the use of washrooms or showers.
4. Male, Female, Intersex, Transgender, (and unspecified others) are all the same really, they are people, human beings with rights, feelings and aspirations. Discrimination of anyone due to their genetic or apparent gender is contrary to the concepts of equality which a modern society must embrace. All forms of gender inequality, discrimination, hatred and abuse must be identified and all persons in Canada must have access to protection and recompense through Law.
5. Human beings love other human beings. All adult human beings who love each other in any of the various forms in which physical love manifests must have protection from hatred and discrimination in Law and Society, and redress from such discrimination.
6. Race discrimination
7. All human concepts of spirituality must be held equal within society, with the exception of specific beliefs within a belief system that themselves discriminate or cause harm to others based upon religious belief. Atheism, Polytheism, Monotheism, Agnosticism in all their forms must all have equal protection in Law and Society from religious discrimination and persecution.
Benefits that society bestows upon any one belief system must be applied equally to all Spiritual Belief Systems.
8. All human beings have the right to modify their bodies or minds as they see fit, provided that doing so does not infringe on the rights of others. Society cannot enforce a moral code that limits the internal or external use of jewellry, clothing, body modification, entheogens, knowledge or any other substance or effect provided that the person is choosing of their own accord to experience such modifications or lifestyle without infringing on the basic human rights of another human.
9. All humans in Canada have the right to Universal Childcare which is wholly supported by the taxes that they pay to society.
10. Worker's rights
11. Electoral equality
12. Class discrimination
13. The Right to own land
14. The right to legal representation for ALL legal matters
15. Rights of all Mothers
16. Rights of all Children
17. The rights of people vs. the rights of corporations
18. Right to assemble
19. Right to protest
20. Right to communicate
21. Right to privacy
22. Freedom from blanket surveillance
23. Right to protection and security
24. Right to education
25. Right to medical services
26. Right to celebrate
27. Right to artistic/musical expression within community
28. Right of community spaces



There are a lot, so give me a couple days to flesh them out!!!
After I get them all in I'll try and "legalese" them a bit so they look a bit more like the wishy-washy Charter of Rights we currently have.

In fact, being as I am constantly struggling for survivial, it might take me another year to get this completed, because I want it to be complete.

BC Election: Bent over once again!

Ah well.
Once again we get an elected public official claiming a "majority"
When in fact only 23% or so of the people eligible to vote actually voted for them.

Ridiculous 3 - pieces of I.D. rules, long lineups in poor ridings, lineups without cover from rain, overworked people without time to spend 2 hours, the same old shite repeats itself again and again.

Less than 50% of the public eligible to vote voted, because of the above, and also because it's a waste of time, there's 3 fools to choose from and everyone knows in their heart it's a system designed by the wealthy to keep power in the hands of the wealthy.
Our apathy knows no bounds, we are jaded and worn.
So the "winner" gets in with 47% of the 50% of voters votes.

1/4 of the population is considered "the majority"

I'm arguing with an acquaintance over compulsory voting yesterday.
My point once again is made.
Who can really call this sort of sham a "mandate"

Anyways. Pour gordie a half dozen victory drinks and hand him his car keys....

Ad Hominem, Adversus Haeresis, Self Actualization

Ad_hominem is basically a personal attack on someone because you don't like what they are saying, attacking the man, not the message....

Adversus_Haeresis is a book that mentions "Polycarp", a man whose advice was used to kill hundreds of Gnostics, and coincidentally he was burned and stabbed on the same day (Feb. 23) that I was scheduled to go to court for "judgement" here in B.C., I was scheduled almost immediately after moving the bible from the stand where I gave testimony in my defense.
They say Justice is blind, but I want to puke...
I thought it was my right not to have a religious tract before me.
I remember thinking in court how strange it was, each time I removed the bible, the stern look I recieved, and how immediately after my 3 time up the Justice whisked away and came back so evidently pleased with herself. I resolved to see what was so important about that day, and went straight to a library. It's not a coincidence, it's a message to all Heretics. Shut up and follow, or you'll be next. On the day my judgement was read (it changed to feb 25 the day that Polycarp actually died by stabbing) the justice was in a hurry, to run off to a holiday...
I don't even have a statement of the verdict, I have to pay for that (which is disgusting, it should be my right), and I couldn't really hear most of what she said because two officers in the court were playing with their walkie talkies throughout the judgement.
I couldn't make this twisted shit up if I tried...

Gnosis has always been considered heresy.
Euhemerus is an important lens on mythology.
Self_actualization is the goal of most sentients...

Laing argued that the strange behavior and seemingly confused speech of people undergoing a psychotic episode were ultimately understandable as an attempt to communicate worries and concerns, often in situations where this was not possible or not permitted. Laing stressed the role of society, and particularly the family, in the development of "madness" (his term). He argued that individuals can often be put in impossible situations, where they are unable to conform to the conflicting expectations of their peers, leading to a "lose-lose situation" and immense mental distress for the individuals concerned...

Perhaps I can make a cohesive spew from these randomized wanderings...

Vengeance is actually a very cathartic spiritual concept sometimes...

The Campbell years - BC wakes from it's stupor?

So this fucker has ripped our province apart for a decade
Let's take a look at his grand achievements in cultural destruction:

- Massive increases in the number of people who don't qualify for any form of subsistence while unemployed or unemployable. Social Services are a Provincial responsibility, the failure of the social safety net is a Provincial gov't failure
- Childcare that costs $500 to $1000 per month/per child while the minimum wage is about $800
-A minimum wage that doesn't come close to covering living costs in BC
-Increases in imported foreign labor while unemployment for Canadians in BC has steadily risen
-An Olympics price tag that will reach multiple BILLIONS of dollars in the end
-Poverty services that are almost non existent, while contractors are paid millions to supply services that add no real value
-A steady reduction in services and beds for the mentally ill, with huge numbers of mentally ill who should have treatment options ending up in the street
-Millions spent beefing up pools and recreation centres in richer neighborhoods while foodlines and volunteer run centers that actually give real meals and services to the poor get nothing, or a few thousand per year.
-Massive increases in foreign ownership of BC land and buildings
-Corrupt kickbacks from the steamrolled privatization of hundreds of millions of dollars of BC infrastructure (BC Rail, Translink, etc.)
-Corruption and organized crime infiltration of the Legislature, Law Courts, Local police and BC RCMP, airports, gov't contract services, in a scale we haven't seen since the early days of Vancouver.
-Steady degradation of services and support of BC residents who face racial, sexual, orientational, and disability related stigma and discrimination
-more than 700 public sector employees that earn over $200,000/year
-Over 6 million spent on top Healthcare salaries, while waiting lists and clinic wait times soar
-Huge increases in the number of people in jail, mostly from poorer segments of society
-More jails being built before shelters
-20+ hookers disappeared with almost no money spent finding out what happened to them, then millions spent digging up their remains and building a special court for the trial
-I personally find it disgusting that he was not only arrested in Hawaii for drunk driving, but the actual amount he was over the limit was fucking criminal. IMHO.
-It would cost less than $1 million to convert any one of many deserted downtown eastside warehouses into 12x12 cubicles for housing hundreds of people, but they'll spend $14 million making up some 40 units. Someone made a big profit building that shit.

There is soooooo much more to say about this corrupt and gruesome beast, but I have to go to the first good job interview I've been offered in almost a year. L8R.


The one thing I'd say to the NDP is: I don't like it when you yap on and on about families. Everyone is equal, there are more singles than marrieds in BC, and gov't services shouldn't be skewed toward the "nuclear family" model.

LEO Awards - An industry pats itself on the back and pisses on reality.

http://www.leoawards.com/
Wow.
I'm jaded, disillusioned and bitter, yes.
I can admit it.
I wonder how much the gov't throws into this thing?
Probably more than it spends on any one shelter for a year.
Definitely more than it invests in food lines and soup kitchens.

I wonder if the LEO awards have some connection to MGM somehow, leo and the mgm lion seem to be brothers. That would be like false media though. Like when companies pay people to say nice things about a movie that really stinks.

So Mr. Cooper get's his Leo. Everybody eats well, they all congratulate themselves on how well they are doing.

Congratulations Robert, you script thieving FUCK.

Congrats to all the men and women here in the lower mainland who got paid for 5-6 years work on this stupendously successful run of military propaganda in prime time.
I hope each and every one of you loses all that you have gained in the last 5 years.
I hope it all turns sour for you. I hope things you work hard for are stolen or broken.
I hope you get ripped off by associates and scammers.
I wish for you that your success will taste like sawdust in your soul.

I'm fucking bitching because I should have 5-6 years worth of work or at least pay for my part in the idea and everyone that worked on SGA knows it by now.
The reality doesn't change, no matter how many lies you fool yourselves with.
I guess I'm a sore loser. You would be too if you did your work and didn't get paid.

So I hope with all my heart that you will somehow or another lose all that you have gained.

Everybody cheer for P-90's and Family Viewing, Claymores instead of cuddles, Assault rifles instead of puzzles. Hurrah hurrah, pass out the gun replicas for the kiddies to roleplay with.
Teach them to kill before puberty.
Pumped up amygdalas for all the little ones to grow and learn.
P-90's and family fucking viewing.
Our CRTC rating system has been assfucked into irrelevance.
Militarize those little shits and they'll be good little consumer slaves.

I hope that people who actually believe in community wake up from their brainwashed slumber and parental lock your warmongering shite.

But more likely they'll just start having weapons training in kindergarten

Give the man a fucking Leo, he's the slickest rip-off artist in BC right now, even slicker than gordie and his boys.
He's a fucking HERO.

And the US military is the saviour of the world, at least as represented to our children daily, in multiple time slots. With Canadian gov't tax breaks for the production company that wraps it all up in a user friendly painless brainwashing regime. Keep up the good work. Pat yourselves on the back and give yourselves a big congrats from me.

Homelessness, Canadians disqualified for benefits under Harper rules, spread the Chrysler payout around!!

The Canadian gov't under the harper Conservatives and the Liberals before have destroyed the social safety net of this country.
Ironically, most of that safety net was created after the last depression.
Homeless in the streets are a product of poor government policy and lack of accountability to the people. Money that is earmarked for poverty services goes right into the hands of already rich contractors who dish out services that don't even come close to covering the needs of the poor.
Food clothing and shelter should be a basic human right, not tied to religious institutions, the ever present brainwashing strategy that organized religion has always used.

So Chrysler went tits up eh?
Take that fucking 3 Billion we going to save their bullshitting corporate asses with, and start rebuilding our social safety net fast, that $50 Billion the gov't just stole from the EI surplus would sure help too. But 3 billion could turn a lot of fucking warehouse space into cubicles for canadians that are falling through the massive cracks Harper keeps widening.

Prosperity, justice, and wisdom to you this Labour Day/Beltane...

It's May 1
There are many important events to mark

For people involved in unions and social justice, this day marks a number of historical protests which ended in the deaths of many underprivileged workers in North America.

Most of the deaths were caused by live police fire or private security firms hired by rich factory owners or local governments corrupted by kickbacks from the rich.

Institutionalized poverty and oppression, the never ending story...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day

For Celts, Northern Europeans and Neopagans such as Wiccans this is a spiritual day/week of ritual and celebration:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltane
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night
Traditionally also a time for Handfasting and other spring fertility rituals

So find someone to roll in the spring grass with and do something poetic and sacred while skyclad....

Pariah's offer...

I'm a writer.
That's what I do, and I play music, paint, and think up film concepts
I had a film concept stolen from me by an asshole named Robert Cooper

Police in Canada don't investigate serious copyright theft, even though we have actual criminal legislation, not just civil.

So here is my offer:

There are at least 20 people in the production crew of Atlantis that know the whole story.
There are a couple hundred who know parts of it.
There's probably a half dozen who actually have either a copy of the tape Robert made during our conversation at Turk's or have heard the whole thing.
There's also a shitload of Teamsters, Angels, IATSE, and assorted crew on the lot.

I offer %15 of any amount of money I am able to get out of Robert Cooper to split equally with anyone who helps me to pin him with this. So if 2 good witnesses and one person with a copy of the tape help me sue him to the point of actually getting money, then %15 of whatever I receive from the court gets split 3 ways ( %15 of the amount after legal fees, that way, better info/witness/evidence creates more profit for those involved).

To the gangsters and non witnesses, whatever you do that makes him give it up, show me some picture or proof that you applied that pressure to him and I'll give you and whoever else helps %15 split between you.
Obviously I can't offer anything if I don't make anything, so if you do something twisted, like whack him or something, I can't really give you anything. It has to result in me getting compensation if I am to give a percentage to you.

That's not saying I wouldn't be grateful for whatever strange retribution visits upon him from nowhere, just a share of %15 of zip is pretty much jack shit.

That's my offer.
It stands for ever.

Because in reality, everyone really gets left behind unless they fuck shit up.

As for you IATSE people who want to get every tech in the lower mainland on board before the Olympics, I'd love to join, but a lot of IATSE members know the whole story or have some kind of involvement, get them to speak up and I'd be inclined to join.

Otherwise you're just another amoral gang that can be hired to help steal creativity and cover up the deed. I can't trust an organization that does that, because I am a creative as well as a higly experienced tech.

And if you can't help with evidence but feel like chipping in, you could give Robert a big BOOOOO!!!! for me when he gets up to receive his BC Government LEO Award on May 8 and 9, 2009. His award for his "creations" and their contributions to BC. I wonder sometimes if any of his "creations" are actually his.

Or maybe you can mingle at the LEO's and ask questions about his attitude toward script theft and the right of a writer or other creative to receive proper compensation for their contributions.

If you're really cool, maybe you'll figure out a way to peg him with some rotten fruit or something...

Or just peg him...

Busking isn't begging...

So I'm in survival mode
barely managed to get a place to live
no extra money
barely enough to eat
if I make it to the food bank

no time for for posting blog entries
I've got to scrounge for food and a place to sleep
and as I'm playing for some change
I watch their faces

Busking is a type of work
IMHO
It's not easy, it takes effort
but as I watch
I see that buskers are almost disappeared in Van
Cold and snotty looks of disdain
It amazes me

The meth-head freak that walks right up and pesters people, nastily
he takes away about $30 an hour, every day
just being his junkie prick self

and the young man playing his guitar for change
he's really very good, and not bothersome
he barely scrapes 8 bux out of the passing crowds
He buys a couple beers and has a smoke, then get's back to it

We dish out money to a junkie playing the sympathy card
but the young man who's actually working
working hard, NOT begging
learning songs to play, playing his heart out
he's barely making it
Even if he's not so good, he's trying

Seems like we actually judge buskers
we set the bar high
if it's not nearly Mark Knopfler or Neil Young
It's barely worth a dime
You have to be like a live radio to make a loonie

For panhandlers the opposite happens
the more degenerate, filthy, and disturbed they are
the more we shovel into their palms

Give your money to buskers and people doing things
not beggars with their shame stories
streets with music and artists
are better than streets with hands out
I'm up next
dueling with beggars for a bit of change

Kill 'em with the Clawback...

I spoke about this a bit before
but right now at tax time
I'm seeing it so much it's making me puke.

The reason for tax returns is that the poor need to get back a bit each year
But all over our system in the last 10 years
the Clawbacks are devouring these needed boosts

The system has been amended over the last 10 years
so that the most vulnerable of Canadians
Those who really need a little boost
are just driven into the ground even more

So someone on welfare or EI gets a return
they've been living on nothing
scraping by
they get this bit of cash
and they have things they need
like some clothes, paying some bills
a much needed little trip to see a film
some dentistry
whatever

Welfare in BC, and soon EI as well
deducts their tax return, dollar for dollar
So people with already terrible money skills
who haven't had any money for a while
are expected to keep, in their hand
their rent and food for 2 months.

So what ends up happening?
right after tax time
a month or two later
we have a surge of people
who can't pay their rent and spent their food money

I'm having a hard time, and I don't have half the bad money skills
of other people I see here.

Hungry, depressed, beaten down, poverty stricken people
are "expected" to hold on to that other $600 in their pocket
for a month or more
insanity
it truly is insanity

the "claims assistant agent"
stoic and stonefaced
doesn't care
"you should have saved your money"
she admonishes
chuckling inside
at the misery of people
foolish enough to be poor amidst plenty

It makes no sense
EI is supposed to keep people from losing all their savings when they lose their job
But now you have to use all your savings to get EI thanks to Harper
just like welfare's been doing for years
while the EI surplus builds up
and every 10 years they have a "crisis"
so they can scoop it up
to dish out to fat cat friends
while those who paid in
who need services to help them through
Get turned away
watching hungrily
as pigs in the trough feed

If someone on welfare works for a day
They get the Clawback
they can't keep a cent
all of it gets deducted
from their next check

So again, they use energy to work
to try to get something
and it ends up costing them grief
for nothing

The government of Canada
has gradually and consistently
been driving everyone who is below the poverty line
further and further

with clawbacks, lack of services, fraudulent support contractors, rules and blocks
turning them away
disqualifying them
barriers, over and over and over
barriers and hoops to jump through
more ways than ever
to disqualify

Welfare is the BOTTOM
there should be no way
that someone can be disqualified
from the bare minimum

Let's repeat that:
there should be no way that someone can be disqualified from the bare minimum
Just like there should be NO WAY that people can have nowhere to sleep safely
out of the rain

If they get a tax return
that should be solid
protected
let them have their little bonus
they're at the fucking bottom

and next month
don't try to starve them
because they got their little bonus

let them work a day, or two
and let them keep 50%
like you used to

and then they will

6 months for a plant...nothing significant for nearly killing a fag on Davie...

I've talked of this before
how there are a lot of young men
going down to the Davie area
the gay area of vancouver

So everyone who's been in Van more than a month knows
that that's where they are in greatest concentration
that's their "spot"

So what's this guy
who obviously hates fags
like, really HATES them

What's he doing down there?
Why is he hanging outside the Fountainhead
If he hates fags why is he standing outside a pub
that has a 12 foot tall painting of a musclebound torso
with an erect penis
right there on the wall?

He went there
to Davie to pick a fight
with any "fag" or or form of "queer" he could find
and anti-hate legislation or not
He won't spend 6 months in jail I bet

Yet harper and his Bill C-15
would lock an honest Canadian up
for 6 months
for growing a single plant

Something is very wrong here...

Dying on welfare...then cremated...society is cleansed!!

http://thetyee.ca/News/2005/08/18/WelfareRolls/

this is something I've written about before,
but these guys actually get some good stats

6000+ people died while on welfare in a 3 year period
They don't keep stats on how they die
which they should, so we can see exposure and malnutrition
but something that's been really itching me lately is
the fact there are no headstones
they burn them in a cremation oven
if we saw 6000 headstones we might think deeper about them
but their bodies are whisked away in the night and morning
they have few contacts
they are not truly counted
turned to ashes
did they really exist?

One less human who dared to be less than perfect or serve happily...

What happened to the $50B E.I. surplus???

The great depression has returned
manufactured or not, it's here
millions out of work, hundreds of thousands and more don't qualify for any form of money to live on
there was a $50B surplus last year in E.I.
An unreal tax that every WORKING Canadian paid into,
the rich didn't pay that tax, they're self employed
we need people retrained, we need wage subsidies, we need social services duration extensions, we need to make sure everyone has a roof over their head and some basic food on the table, heat for the home and a phone to find work
EVERYBODY, every last fucking one of them
Billions going out to pay for sports centres all across the land
we don't need sports centres, we need COMMUNITY centres, places to gather!
we need food and housing, and student loans to retrain ourselves
We pay 12 billion in foreign aid
and our own people are losing their homes and dying like fucking maggots on a desicated corpse
the corpse of laisse faire, imaginary money can starve you to death
prisoners have covering and food, can get degrees
the honest poor stand in the rain for hours
to get the smallest bowl of shit chili
$50B would get everyone working with wage subsidies, or grants for upgrading their schooling
expanded student loans, expanded food banks and clothing services
expanded social services to keep people in houses, not shelters
A $50B tax on the working wage slaves, silently absconded with
peanuts thrown out to the starving masses
to give the appearance of a "caring gov't"
We're setting the stage for a new dictator
we're rebuilding the mass hatred that poverty makes
they'll be feeding us scapegoats by the truckload
to be beaten down and jailed
for daring to scream for something to eat and a place to sleep
while the land the poor once owned is scooped up for a bargain
$50B would feed and house every Canadian who falls through the cracks for the next 20-30 years

Where did it go?

$500 million for military drones? WTF?

Let's put Harper's recent order for $500 million worth of military drones in perspective:
In this Great Depression:
That would cover every unemployed Canadian who for whatever reason doesn't qualify for welfare/ei/disability/pension, all those people falling through the cracks would have the basic welfare rate for 5 years.

That would buy 167 or more MRI units, the most needed piece of medical equipment in Canada

That would pay for thousands more nurses and doctors to get grants for going to school with the guarantee that they would work in the Canadian healthcare system for the next 10 years.

It's a mind boggling amount of money that's going to line a corporate supporter's pockets, when Canadians have more pressing needs than robot surveillance.

Don't you think?

We never learn from the greatest of our thinkers...

"First they ignore you; then they mock you; then they punish you; then you win." -Mahatma Ghandi

"Our emphasis here is based not only on the growing seriousness of drug-related crimes, but also on the belief that relieving our police and our courts from having to fight losing battles against drugs will enable their energies and facilities to be devoted more fully to combatting other forms of crime. We would thus strike a double blow: reduce crime activity directly, and at the same time increase the efficacy of law enforcement and crime prevention." Milton Friedman - Nobel prize winner

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison. - Henry David Thoreau, "Civil Disobedience,"

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." Albert Einstein

Why Canadian communities don't help police remove gangs and criminals

Every day there is more violence
The police are shown doing their cleanup
which is really what they do
and they entreat the public once again
to "help them make the streets safer"
but few people seem to call

There's a reason for it.
A few in fact
but altogether they amount to the same thing

the police will just take notes
no charges will be laid against the asshole or assholes
unless there is absolute proof
lying in plain sight
proof so plain a simple bull
can sniff it without thinking

Even then
24 hours later
the fucker will be back out

the citizen who called them
will have no protection
and when the attending officers drive away
the citizen and/or their family
will be attacked

when the police come again
there will be no witnesses
just curtains closed

they will say their "there's not really anything we can do" line
the citizen will have to deal with the hospital
pain and suffering
lost employment
further attacks

any group can target someone
bring them down
fuck them over
they'll call the police and make it look
like the good man is "attacking us"
for trying to protect himself
in the end there is no way

and everyone knows
if the bad guys want you badly enough
$40k can buy a couple police
to make it all legal
come on, think about it
that's a years wages

the good citizen who dares to speak
becomes the bad guy
in some little set up or another
with lots of witnesses
each one of them, part of that "gang"

and every single citizen of Canada
knows this
and that's why they don't
have anything they can do
but live with it
or join in

Prohibition creates the new Capones
and just as then
the masses in poverty
can't fight back against
the money they have
the swarms of minions

good people who want to be peaceful
protest peacefully
and know they will not really be able
to call the police
against forces and groups
that have more money and weapons
and lot's more people
than the police have

so what citizen in their right mind
will give information or speak out
or call and lay a charge of bullying, slander, theft
so an officer might get a credit for an arrest
while the good citizen loses everything
after the policeman has left

the anti smoke uber-health propoganda shitfest....

Back at the two fucking propaganda rags we read in boredom on the bus each day...
the "local" shitrags that speak with the voices of moral authority
I gotta wipe, so maybe that'll muffle their cackling for a sec.....

There's no place inside for smokers to smoke.
And there's no fucking goddamned ashtrays
that's why butts are appearing on the ground
not because smokers are ignorant
but because this fucking
prohibitionist mind controlled docile herd of mindless sheep we call a society
can't learn from the past and continues to try and outlaw anything that creates cohesive groups that aren't under the fascist control of our blue eyed leader
There weren't butts everywhere when smokers could sit somewhere and have their fucking cigarettes.
There weren't clouds of smoke where the non smokers were when people had smoking rooms in major buildings.
There weren't hordes of people outside huddled shivering and smoking
when they could fucking sit down somewhere warm and talk to each other like fucking humans

but really, we aren't fucking humans anymore
we're either fucking sheep, bad dogs, or vicious fucking wolves
that's what happens when there's too much moralist control of what we say do eat drink think and feel.

Am I the ONLY fucking human in the world that thought it was righteous Sly bought the damned ratburger in Demolition Man? How many cautionary tales will we flock to in droves, only to forget the lessons learned as we eke out our minimum sleep for the next days wage slavery...

Edgar Friendly was the fucking anti-hero for a reason in that sterile idiotic happy-happy-joy-joy world of the super clean freak future.

Edgar Friendly: You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

And honestly, smoker's won't really smoke in the fucking no smoking section as long as you give them a fucking legal place where they can smoke that isn't in the cold, the rain, and the fucking outside bad dog ...... fuck!!!

you don't get the bullet in the head until you BELIEVE in the righteousness of Big Brother.

Your medical information is NOT your right to view in Canada...

So once again I go to a scan
a CT scan this time
and I ask to see the results

Because I don't trust my white european masonic ring wearing doctor
Why
Because I was born a bit different and had some mutilation done to me
But decades later, the ass covering doesn't stop
and I conveniently am not "allowed" to view my scans
until my doctor has them

convenient
and frustratingly I feel it is an attack on my rights as a human being
to not be allowed to view the electronic results immediately
for a few minutes
after the scan
because I haven't been allowed to see any other scans either, and I can't get any doctor to refer me to a Medical Genetics test.
They all look extremely uncomfortable when I ask
and tell me to ask my specialist
who is a highly respected respected christian with a beautiful gold masonic ring
interesting how my body and the information about it is not really my own

Because you know what's really fucked?
The police officer that tried to beat the fucking crap out me last year
tried to hit me in the temple a dozen times
with the same fucking gold ring....

believe it or not
I really don't fucking care

Eugenics is still very active in Canada...

Eugenics was supposedly a fad, and officially the Canadian Sterilization Acts ended in 1972
but REALLY, they never stopped for some people.
The number of colored people and LGBT people who "accidentally" die in operating rooms has always been higher than the percentage of white european deaths.
People who at birth or shortly after birth are mutilated by genital mutilation practices euphemistically called sex assignment surgery and promoted and enforced by the white elite, are still being mutilated, it hasn't stopped.

I've always thought it weird that someone would go on at length about female genital mutilation
but for some reason they have no problem with male infant genital mutilation
even though it's been proven in a number of studies, that yes, the little boy feels pain for 2-3 weeks after having his bits cut.

Justice is impossible in Vancouver, you have no rights...

You don't , you know
You don't have any rights.
The police can take your stuff and look through it, without a warrant
you can be beaten or tasered, even if you aren't originally under arrest
If you have a problem with a group of assholes, the police don't really care or investigate

Justices don't look at any previous issues, except from the prosecution's pov
You won't get true justice
You'll get an axe over your head
that the police can use anytime
to fuck you over

You have no rights
there is nothing to protect you from your own police department
and they really don't want to find the corruption and culture of violence
that's right within them

I guarantee to all of you, if you pay attention
every single independent reporter or journalist that is critical of the gov't or the olympics will have a spurious charge over their head by the end of this year, so if they get too loud during the olympics, another charge will be added and they'll be in jail.

Oppression of the media through intimidation and premeditated beatings will be the norm for the next year. It's not just the poor they are cleaning up, it's journalists of the left.

I already know at least 2 publicly vocal human rights/poverty rights activists that have probation that lasts till after the olympics, and each case is a spurious directed attack that they had no way to get out of. They were targeted.

Who wants to bet we'll start seeing dead journalists soon. Chalked up to "random violence".

here's a cool link someone gave me
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/02/25/bc-downtown-eastside-vancouver-police.html
They throw people's shit out to get them riled up, if they try to do anything about it they are arrested.

In my own case I had 1 single pack of SURVIVAL gear, and I wasn't on city property, I was sitting on my RELATIVES porch.

I wasn't targeted because I was homeless
I was targeted because of this blog
Believe it or not
I don't really fucking care...

Foreign import workers for the food service and other industries...still?

I've written about this in a couple of articles, but it's still bugging me now, even more so than before...

So I'm reading this propaganda rag, The Metro, a couple days ago
and this gov't jizzhead is going on about how they need to stop "unscrupulous employers" from importing workers.

The headline makes it seem like they're going to stem the flow of this rich fucker-cheap labour scam, but it's all spin.

The number one importer of foreign labour is the food industry.
Like there aren't a half million unemployed canucks who can work in restaurants and processing facilities eh?

It's not that there isn't anyone to do the job, it's that the restaurants and food chains want to keep paying cheap wages that are near unliveable to 3rd world workers who are recruited and flown in to serve up fast food and gas to the same kids who can't get a job in town, because said company doesn't hire anyone local anymore.

It's more PROFITABLE to import slave labour.

In actuality, in the middle of the biggest manufactured economic crash in the last 70 years where there are unprecedented numbers of unemployed, unprecedented numbers of people who don't qualify for EI, disability or provincial scam social security,
in the midst of all that, there is no mention or move by the gov't to stop the HUGE numbers of workers being imported.

Shut the tap fully off, and make colleges offer 3 month courses in any sector that needs new recruits, courses that ANYONE who's unemployed, regardless of their status can take for free.

We can't keep importing third world workers for slave labour.
There are more than enough people right here to do the work, people of all colors, CANADIANS, that need the work.

We have people leaving college IT courses every year that AREN'T getting jobs, because people are being flown in to fill the spots for less. Every construction site is filled with workers on visas.

Why?
So more people will lose what little they have, and anyone with money can sift at leisure for bargains?

What canada needs more than tasers...portable polygraphs and camera badges...

portable polygraphs and camera badges...
think about it
no lies or bullshit
a more accurate if not 100% accurate assessment of the claims of victims and "perps"

Because that's where our current system fails miserably
Police can lie, groups of people can target someone then lie, and there's always more of them, playing the victim, while the real victim gets screwed or even arrested....

Robert C. Cooper would be in jail right now if we actually had portable lie detection for investigations, just question 10 VFX/Post employees of SGA for 10 minutes each and compare,
suddenly the unimaginable becomes realistic...

Batons are way cheaper than tasers!

This article is sarcastic. It's called humour.
If you don't get it please read "What I REALLY think about police..."

So I don't get why we're paying $500 for a taser for police.

I mean, if we're going to let them kill people, why don't we just repeal the laws that kept police from beating people to death with their batons over the last 50 years.

I mean, really, a baton is much cheaper, and just as effective, especially when you get 5 guys whaling away at the vic----oops, PERPETRATOR.

Just let them fucking beat people to death with their fucking batons.
Don't give them any hassles when they pull someone in on a spurious charge and he's covered in bruises and welts and blood.

These tasers are too clean and bloodless. They can zap someone a half dozen times and we don't get to see any damage? How are you going to instill the fear of authority in people if they don't actually see the effect that non compliance with all orders of the tools of the ruling class makes?

If people regularly see other people getting beaten to death or nearly so for smoking a joint in public or not understanding english, they'll get with the programming that much faster don't you think?

And a baton only costs $50 bux when you buy them in bulk

Hell, why don't we just give them spikes on the batons, that would be way more effective, and a lot cheaper than a zap gun that costs as much as a real fucking revolver.

I mean, why don't we just lower the threshold for offences where deadly force with a pistol can be used?

Just shoot those fucking potheads, mentally ill, homeless, junkies, prostitutes, immigrants and all the other human trash that are too ugly for retail, or can't be happy picking up litter and serving yuppies their non-dairy decaf lattes....

They do it in lots of other christian countries, why not here?

Affordable Olympic village - you never really believed that did you?

What a crock of shite eh?
"affordable housing units"
right on False Creek,
looking downtown
Like they were ever going to let a bunch of single moms and low income folks live there!
It was bullshit from the start
and the media yammered on about it incessantly
oh the good will!!

It was a taxpayer paid condominium project for the wealthy right from the get go
From day one the plan was to push ahead rezoning, suck out as much public money as possible
and make even more profit selling it to rich folk at the end

That was the plan from the start
Like they were ever going to make spaces on prime land with all the amenities and decor they're gonna build in for the olympians
like any of that was ever going to be rented to someone on minimum wage

You know, when you average out intelligence
it seems to favour the low end of the crowd....

So plug into the TV my meat robot minions
lets get our daily programming
shit served on steak platters...

Those disappointed Olympic Europeans...

Those disappointed Olympic Europeans...

Isn't it ironic?
The cops are gonna clean out every pot grower they can over the next year
"We gotta clean up for the Olympics !!!"

Then all these hundreds of thousands
of Americans and Europeans will come to BC

oh glorious Olympics!!!

"And in the evenings we can smoke some good BC bud
famous around the world!" they'll say
I swear that's what a good 10 thousand or more of them will be saying
especially the snowboard fans, eh?

They'll stand on the street corner looking to score
"Weed? Weed? BC Bud?" they'll say
and get tasered,
wide eyed

when they can't speak enough canuck english to make it clear

that they're LOOKING for some good weed
not selling it...

Pariah's Claim...

I hold a debt
given to me freely by kin
I claim this debt
along with another
a life debt owed me in battle

I demand mediation
A thief has taken the fruits of my labors

the labors of a writer
the piecing together of history
and old ideas
forged into new understandings

This thief
cowardly and weak
not strong enough to hold his hoard
not strong enough to face me
naked and unarmed

pays out with his stolen baubles
to hire the swords of warriors
who know not the truth of things
only that a rich thief pays

I have faced your nobler warriors
and they have stood aside
I have faced your black assassins
their knives wet with the blood of lambs
and they feared me

I stand fast and claim the right
to credit for my sweat and thought
payment for the product I created
a great work that has given many
employment and profit

Those who stand protecting the thief
step aside
he can hide laughing
behind his pillars of law
for only so long

I call him out
I call out those who are witness to his thievery
those who have profited

As you would not steal
the pay or food
of your warriors and builders

I will be paid as well
for my work
which you have benefited from

I would have them know
that it is MY work
not yours, thief
that fills their plates
and pays their salaries

My House has been burned
My kin and community turned
against me
Madman, Addict, Beggar,
and worse
I have been called

I am none of these

I hold a mirror to my accusers
and they are gnarled and black
within its reflection
each claim against me
they hold greater
within their own
black hearts

Long ago I put aside my sword
to take up the brush and pen
to walk in peace
to gently protect
the weak
now I oil my scabbard
with tears in my eyes
wishing only to walk the shore
and watch the sun

A thief would hide
behind Law
and claim the right
to steal and keep his takings

I will have none of it
I will call to his own warriors
his women
the builders of his house
Let us parley
before War

I tell you this:
an agreement was made between us
I and the thief
an agreement for compensation
sealed with a handshake
these things seem to mean nothing now
in these days without honor

I hold two debts of your warrior clan
a blood debt
and another debt held by my kin
freely given me

Is the honor
of agreements and debts
now hollow?

I call for mediation
Now.

Toll troll at the mountain - is he really a troll?

So this Crone was talking to me
superciliously
you know, out of the side of her mouth,
in a roundabout sneaky
on the sly sort of jab way
gibbering about a trip she made
to this famous place
this mountainous edifice
a public place of historical significance
she said there was this old man there
living at the base of the hill
who tried to exact a toll from unwary travelers
She was quite full of herself
and her intimate knowledge
of all things spiritual
as Crones often are
and bursting with her ego
she scoffed at his ploy
and walked past him
laughing

I wondered at her
for she was in a strange land
looking down upon this man
all full of her "old ways" and old stories
her control
and I wondered why she wouldn't think
for even a second
to pay the old man for a tour
of HIS landmark
hear HIS stories
the stories and fables and legends
that don't always make it to the plaques
erected by conquerors

It's like that way with books you see
books can be like the old man
a guide
some people are grateful
for a guide who knows the way
and the stories
And when they return
they don't need the map anymore
but it helped them once
to find out quickly
if they were really on the right mountain...

Some people don't want an old man to guide them
just like some distrust an old crone
but sometimes if you look closer
behind the disguise
there may be
a pool of knowledge
silent
and wise

Flight sims for the army instead of MRI's...

So on CBC yesterday I saw that Harper just signed out 300 million dollars for flight simulators for the Canadian army.

Meanwhile, Canadians suffer for up to 9 months or more waiting to get an MRI so they can get properly diagnosed and then treated. Usually they spend millions on pain meds while they wait.

So we COULD have bought 100 or more MRI machines, but it's more important that we have flight sims for our muslim bombing crusade....

BC Gov Vs. organized crime....

It's fucking hilarious
I think.

How are they gonna pull that off eh?
Municipal public works engineers, airline employees, clinic employees, canada post employees, even a half dozen police officers per municipality, support staff in the government, olympic construction contractors, members of the justice system and legislature staff, and on and on....

there are members of organized crime all over the system
and he's gonna stand at the top and shout out how he's gonna clean it all up?
Good luck.

If they toned down the violence and cleaned up the drugs on the streets the gangs would have less problems.

Whose gonna really help you stop gangs gordon?
They're the only source of good drugs
and Canadians spend more on drugs than they do on seeing movies each year...

He's full of shit.

oh, right, this is a guy who blew 4 times the limit while driving drunk in Hawaii isn't it....

What else is run by organized crime that we couldn't do without, let's see...
Oh, right! Every major grocery store chain, the majority of our pharmaceutical distribution network, pretty much every "addictions and recovery" subcontractor, food banks across the nation get huge donations from them, lots of churches are filled with them, welfare service contractors, major tv and film production companies, economic development corporations....

and while we're at it Gordie boy
what's a gang?
Do the Masons count? There's like 100 lodges in BC. They fuck with shit, believe me.
Is it just one gang you're going to target?
Is it a white/yellow/red/brown/or black gang that's your preferred target?
What about the gangs that don't shoot or stab people but fuck people up financially?

You know, if you whacked every real gang in BC at once our society would screech to a halt
and half of our financial sector would get the DT's....

And besides, if the police won't investigate criminal copyright theft and attempted murder in my particular case, who else will I get justice from unless I offer a percentage to a gang?
I'm not going to let it rest until I get personal justice.
