This Just In: Egotistic ~ Zionist ~ Racist ~ Annoying
Loser Endlessly Vindicates Anal Nutbar Tyrant
Now who on earth could that be? And what gives this nasty little man the right and the nerve to call others bigots? Seriously?
Listen very carefully to this amazing man spin his (what I see as racist) web of idiomatic and ideological language. He must use the word 'Indian' a dozen times, but I did not and will not be counting. He is so behind in his thinking that he makes the very same mistake attributed to Christopher Columbus over 500 years ago.
He does not seem to know where India is on a map of the world, but he knows who does not deserve to own a big-screen TV. What would someone stuck indoors for four months at a time, in a shack surrounded by frozen air and round-the-clock darkness, with eleven or so others, huddled together for warmth, need with entertainment?
His attitude sucks. His politics suck. The fact that he has a voice and so many do not, also sucks.
His thing, he claims, is free speech. I do not believe that for a minute. His thing is money. His thing is Zionism. His thing is Conservatism. His thing is free publicity. His thing is litigation. His thing is embarrassing.
But it may still be time for SUNTV to stop paying him. I wonder if he would be willing to speak for free? Given the value of his opinions, that would seem a fair market price.
Delusional Canadian Mud-Wrestler, Ezra 'Mad Dog' LeRant
Challenges CBC's Ernie Coombs
better known to millions of Canadians as "Mr. Dressup"
to a "Fight to the Finish"
at a fund raiser for a 'think tank' in Calgary, last week.
Mr. Coombs died in 2001
Mr. LeRant called him some names,
threw a chair which hit nothing,
taped himself to the wall of the main lobby,
and at the time of this publication was still
loudly demanding to be paid for his time.
A good friend of mine over at C.R.U.S.H. ~ Canadians Rallying to Unseat Stephen Harper, asked a question today. And yes, it is the same question that any Canadian, ^NOT entirely in the dark about 'dear leader' asks every other day:
"What needs to happen to rid this country of Stephen Joseph Harper"?
So, we batted around the same tired old ideas, all of which could potentially work and in fact should work, but none of which succeed for various reasons.
Those tactics have included, among other things; defeating him in a General Election, having him arrested or rendered (a word that many governments use when someone is kidnapped by them. Of course if we did it it would be called kidnapping) and have him sent to The Hague in Switzerland, along with his old friends George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to face justice at the International Criminal Court. We considered also, getting the 'owned' and generally myopic, non-testicular, (having to do with the lacking of balls) and willingly sycophantic (sadly having to do with the Licking of balls) Canadian Mainstream Media to co-operate, and the waking of Canadians to political realities and the now 1200 reasons (here are 100 of them that were compiled back when it would have been easier) that he is ^NOT a leader and how how and why he simply can ^NOT be trusted.
But today was somehow different. Something was suggested that I had not heard before, a tactic so unthinkable, so repulsive as to have gone without consideration by anyone at C.R.U.S.H. for the last two years. It was a tactic that would require brashness and bravery, a very strong stomach and the willingness to work with some very unsavoury characters. It was suggested that we consider joining the Conservative Party of Canada en mass and bring it down from within. It was suggested that we become as it were, a Trojan Horse or as a more modern mind would put it, infiltrate the borg. Well, that was certainly ^NOT on my agenda, but since I have not yet given up and will never succumb to the notion that resistance is futile I agreed to consider it.
So, I decided to see just who qualified to join the Borg. I quickly found this information:
Founding Principles eh? Well, I doubted that I could possibly agree with them, I am no Conservative, but it might be worth a look. What harm could it do, just to have a look?
And as I read them it occured to me that many of them do not seem to be principles that I would ever have attributed to Stephen Harper. Lets just pick a few that help to add the light of day to those doubts.
1.) "A balance between fiscal accountability, progressive social policy and individual rights and responsibilities" ~ Well, that is the first one on their list, and although I agree with it, does Harper?
Are they fiscally accountable?
No. They were forced to reveal the numbers last Fall and even then they faked most of them, and ended up being charged with contempt because of it. They still have not released any real numbers since they took office. They are in aconstant fight with the Parliamentary Budget Officer over exactly that.
Are they in favour of progressive social policy?
No. they want to jail as many Canadians as the existing prisons will hold, and then build more prisons. Every expert in Canada says that this will lead to higher residivism rates and that it will all contribute to poverty and despair.
Are they defenders of our Indivdual rights?
No. Individual rights have begun to deteriorate under harper. Even as a minority prime minister, he started limiting personal rights. As I write this he continues to allow Canadians to be arrested and abused simply for assembling in peaceful protest and has been much less tolerant of dissent than any other government in our history. His imprudent use of Toronto as a backdrop to the 2010 G20 was an exercise in state power and control. 1130 persons were hauled off to spend an average of 24 hours in cages that just happened to be there for the purpose. The Occupy Movement has only highlighted his contempt for th eindividual rights of Canadians. His party is the only one to show no signs of even admuitting that their is a difference between Billionaires and the homeless.
Individual responsibilities?
Hell yeah, that part he agrees with. Never in our history has so much time, money and effort been levied against us to teach us about our personal and individual responsibilities. There is very likely a second recession on it's way and it is going to be our responsibility to ride it out while we suffer cuts and fewer services. The fact that it is not our doing does not stop it from being our responsibility.
That is just the first bullet point above and already it is apparent that Stephen Joseph is not qualified to be even a member of the party, let alone it's leader.
The list of requisite conservative beliefs goes on to include a belief in our Parliamentary institutions, a respect for the rule of Law, a belief in the Environment, a belief in the equality of all Canadians, a belief that good government is responsive and attentive to the needs of it's citizens.......
The list is long and none of it confirms that Stephen Harper is qualified to be a member of that party in any real sense. I could go on, and over the next few days, I will probbably flesh this thought process out a bit, but my point is already made. I can add lnks to the web that demonstrate all of these concerns, and I may do that, but It may be time that those who wrote this charter and founding principles actually took them to heart, and considered how very far off the mark that this little man has taken them.
So, No, I was wrong above and could easily join a party that stood for all of these great principles, but if anyone in the know thinks that it is possible for a party to do so with this fopp at the helm, they are either sadly mistaken or taking a page out of the Neo-con book and lying!
That, I believe is exactly what Stephen Harper has been doing for the past 15 years. It should be obvious that he can ^NOT be trusted. I mean seriously, if he really cared in the least about the values listed above, would he put up with the likes of Tony, 'hands in the till' Clement?
Please feel free to comment below. I will have little trouble answering any of your questions. The proof is everywhere if you open those baby blues.
Congratulations dear leader: Your sadistic and machiavellian wish has finally come true. I no longer recognize this country. I was born a proud Canadian. I am now, against my will, a not-so-proud Harper Lander.
But enough of our 'dear leader'. If you, 'dear readers' have read any of this blog in the past, you will already know that I have been warning all who would listen that "Harper's Hidden Agenda", not only exists, but that it was and is right on schedule. It sure as hell is ^NOT hidden now. It stands out in bold relief, like lego hair, or the smirk of a dullard who finds himself finally in charge of the remote control.
Harper Land, the newest (at only 207 days of age) of almost 200 countries on the planet, is already a growingly depressing and repressive place to live, and every day I find it harder to breath, And every day I find it harder to find that national pride that our 'dear leader' so often aims to instill in us.
The Ideologically driven and perfectly contrived and newfound importance of militarism and the way in which he is determined to desensitise us and enure us to absurdity, is in itself absurd. But it seems to be working. For several weeks now, needless rumblings of war with Syria have been growing. They are also chomping at the bit to get on with helping the Americans make a case for war against Iran. And mindblowingly, it is under the guise of their enemy attempting to build nuclear weapons. Yes folks, weapons of mass destruction. These Neo-con types will try anything twice.
Harper Land, With rising unemployment, exploding welfare rolls, recently exposed ministerial corruption, repressive crime bills, loss of rights, suppression of dissent, attacks on unions, frivilous court cases, a tightening grip on all government institutions, the leader's obsessive and insatiable need to solidify all of Harper Land's political power into the hands of the Propaganda and Misinformation Office or PMO, and the Harper government's guilty plea (and pathetically small fine) in a scheme that helped them steal the 2006 Federal election. The list is inarguably depressing and getting more so every day!
I love ..... thinking about that time when I almost touched the puck
Today, on the 207th day in the history of Harper Land, our dear leader, after making a very hawkish speech in the Senate about "walking the walk", stood on the steps of the House of Commons and arrogently spent Half a million dollars (Terry Milewski CBC) for an American style military fly-by to celebrate the daring and amazing feat of bombing a foreign government into submission without killing any Canadians. He never mentioned, not even once, Libyan civilians nor seemed to 'get it' that many Canadians could be fed and housed for half a million dollars. And once again the often complimentary and always timid main stream media drones on about the glory that is Harper Land.
And their one complaint about this expensive (again, at least $500,000.oo) day of pomp and ceremony so far has been the MSM's rather milktoast lament that there has been no such recognition of the Afghanistan war? Is it ^NOT obvious that there should ^NOT have been any
such event even for this one?
Seriously? The main stream media is worried that the Afghan veterans did not get a real pony? Or that the new kid got the icecream? At least Craig Oliver of CTV asked, or rather, suggested, that "some" (he didn't say who, exactly) were asking:
"Just what are we celebrating here? The mission in Libya, or the (Harper) government"?
Go ahead, turn up the sound!
Feel the Raw Power!
Sure, it is loud, but they are not about to drop a bomb here.
NOT that it would hurt anyone if they did.
Canadian bombs only hit real targets, they never hurt civillians.
We have NATO's word on that!
"Conservatives cashing in on the Quick and 'casualty free' mission in Libya" ~ Roger Smith here ~ CTV That statement went absolutely unchallenged. But I challenge it now.
And, over at CBCNN, no one in the studio so much as blinked when John Ivison, a much too common guest on CBC's "Power and Politics" said of the Libyan campaign, simply that: "Nobody died". He stumbled on like he always does, in near complete agreement of all things Harper.
We all knew that he meant: No 'Canadian' died. But I have a confession to make. I blinked. That was not what he said. In spite of the pathetic fact that it has become acceptable in Harper Land to count only Canadian and NATO casualties. "No one died" is what he said and I blinked.
Sadly, we are not expected to object to this inhumanity, and might even be sanctioned for wondering why it has become normal to act in such a callous, insensitive and frankly, disturbing manner.
Are we to believe that those we kill with bombs are not human, do not amount to anything, are somehow not worthy of counting? Well, actually if we are to believe NATO, there really were no Libyan casualties. In other words, Nobody died. We are to believe that even though Canadians alone, dropped some 700 high tech missiles and bombs that no one not actually targeted, died.
The 'reported' number of bombs dropped in the (official) name of protecting citizens in Libya by Canadians is itself, unlike those bombs, still dropping. According to recent reports and again today by Roger Smith of CTV, the number has now been pegged at 700, with a total of about 1000 sortees and not the 1450 missions and 1500 drops that was reported earlier.
Harper's now 'arch enemy', the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, got a little closer to the truth, but not much. Terry Milewski, at least said: No 'Canadian' casualities. He at least seems to get that some of us watch these things closely.
If you think that I am exaggerating NATO's statements that none of the thousands of bombs and missiles killed anyone not targetted, I admit that I have been doing just that. Here is a video which claims the they have stepped up to the plate and admitted that all of those bombs actually killed nine civilians. I kid you not. Nine!
Of course that was reported by Russian Television:
Russian online TV (RT)
So there ya have it. The Russians are saying that NATO is admitting to only NINE civilian deaths, but surely this is only the Russians. Harper has warned us about the Russians. Surely I was able to find evidence that they have been very open about these killings and that NATO is being more open than these Russsians (Who want our north, lol) are letting on.
Surely NATO is more open then that.
So, come on, proud Harper Landers, remember the Fifties. Hold your heads high. Celebrate war, and bask in displays of military might. Hang the Queen's portrait in your classrooms, embasies, legislatures, post offices, offices, government buildings, poutine shops, chip trucks, out houses, and barns.
Use the word 'Royal' to describe absolutely anything and every thing that can possibly be called royal.
Learn the language of a military power. Learn the tricks of a happy Harper Lander so you won't stand out in a crowd. Learn to cheerfully deny that we are doing harm in the world. Learn to deny that the environment is not safe here, and deny that we are losing our rights. Deny that we are no longer awake, deny that we are being taken for a ride.
Remember that a silent Harper Lander is a happy Harper Lander and that a Happy Harper Lander will wait forever for a good hockey book, and then pretend to like it even if they secretly know it is just another lie.
Speak well of our 'dear leader' for he has your best interests in his benevolent big giant head, he holds the future of your children in his very athletic hands, the very value of your existance in his strong arms and just like that kind old gentleman , Santa Claus, he knows where you live. Don't let that scare you. How else could he bring all that joy?
Bottom Line: The MSM stupidly says this is about honouring the Libyan campaign and ^NOT honouring the Afghan War heroes. Again, that is spinning bull shit. This story is about Stephen Joseph Harper strutting pompously onto the front steps of OUR House of Commons and absolutely wasting half a million dollars of OUR money so that OUR airforce could honour him.
Well, only the author is moving, but that should be OK. Onwards and upwards. I am only Recalibrating! Lol! I am making plans. Please bear with me. As it turns out, Harper has a hold on us. Big 'Bother' is Watching us!
Food for thought: In Vancouver just last week, while we all watched the city go a little nuts after the Big game, those who were not participating in the turmoil, were gleefully pumping video to the internet. So, we are now big brother?
I'll be back. ~ I'm recailibrating ~ Social media Rocks!
bravely gives up her job as a page in the Senate of Canada (AKA 'The Harper Senate of Harperland') to get out her simple message during the reading of Harperland's first Throne Speech!
Brigette Depape Holds a Sign which simply says:
STOP HARPER
No Shrinking Violet, Marcelle (Depape) had a press release all ready to go:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, June 3, 2011
" Senate Page disrupts throne speech and says "Harper's disastrous agenda needs to be stopped with creative action and civil disobedience".
Ottawa -- During the reading of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's throne speech today, a young page was yanked from the Senate Chamber as she tried to hold up a stop-sign placard reading "Stop Harper."
"Harper's agenda is disastrous for this country and for my generation," Brigette Marcelle says. "We have to stop him from wasting billions on fighter jets, military bases, and corporate tax cuts while cutting social programs and destroying the climate. Most people in this country know what we need are green jobs, better medicare, and a healthy environment for future generations."
Brigette Marcelle (aka Brigette DePape), 21 and a recent graduate from University of Ottawa, has been a page in the Senate for a year, but realized that working within parliament wouldn't stop Harper's agenda.
"Contrary to Harper's rhetoric, Conservative values are not in fact Canadian values. How could they be when 3 out of 4 eligible voters didn't even give their support to the Conservatives? But we will only be able to stop Harper's agenda if people of all ages and from all walks of life engage in creative actions and civil disobedience," she says. "This country needs a Canadian version of an Arab Spring, a flowering of popular movements that demonstrate that real power to change things lies not with Harper but in the hands of the people, when we act together in our streets, neighbourhoods and workplaces." "
Trending in Canada as 'Stop Harper'
and as 'Brigette Marcelle' and both
ahead of 'Throne Speech'
Her opinion is a commonly held one and it is obvious that she is not alone in this protest. As I type this there are some 15 Facebook pages springing up and growing. Where will it end? I am not sure, but it is at least a heartening gesture on her part. Gee, I wonder what's on her mind? Or has she been reading mine? News spread quickly and ten minutes later it was a trending topic on Twitter in Canada and briefly in the world. The campaign to stop Harper is not a new one as you will see from this 2008 video in which Rick Salutin describes Harper and his right winged views and his Tourettes-like habit of blurting out Right winged ideological rhetoric, his teflon and why, even though most of us fear him, he gets to sneak up the middle, by splitting the vote. He discusses the difficulties of strategic voting and the grassroots nature of the movement.
Jeremy Dyer Human Rights Activist
We have not had a young hero like Brigette Depape since Jeremy Dyer refused to shake Harper's hand in July of last year. He was protesting against Harper's duplicity and his arrogance. Harper had made a mockery of Human Right's and then helped open the Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg last July. Ryan, a young N.L. human rights activist was also invited to the event. Ryan had not agreed to meet Harper and when he found himself face to face with him, he used the opportunity to have his views heard.
“It was such a degrading experience. I felt so tokenized,” he said. “I feel like they took something so huge away from me that weekend. So huge.”
This Video was shot from a concerned citizen's TV obviously. Sadly, CBC.ca and Evan Solomon do no share videos. It matters not that they are made using Taxpayer money, they simply do not share them. Neither does Evan Solomon share the intellect of the young Depape. He tries to shame her, she is not ashamed. Shame on you Evan, and the rest of the MSM who do not care about things as flippant as democracy, pay attention, you could learn a lot from Canadians who do care.
Of course these are early days in Harperland and this story will take a day or two to get a real handle on, but at least this shows that Canada still has a pulse. I can only hope it also means that Canadians are starting to suffer 'buyers remorse' for buying in to the Harperland experiment. I sure hope it does, please feel free to comment.
Afterthought: As I was pondering the confusion surrounding her name. The confusion was that at First it was reported as Brigitte Marcelle, then Brigette Marcelle and then a bit later as Brigette DePape and also De Pape. After some digging I found this. It answers several questions or at least suggests that DePape is her stage-name, and that in spite of the ramblings of the anonymous and right winged commenter below, that she is obviously ^NOT stupid. It is also obvious that she is ^NOT shy and ^NOT always quiet. At least she is no longer anonymous!
I am tired of both Cowards and Cowardice. I suspect that Brigette DePape, or whatever she prefers to call herself, feels somewhat the same. Follow this Blog On Facebook
Harperlanders Beware These videos MUST be seen to be believed. Sadly, we do ^NOT have such a Rat Trap as the one shown to the Right. >>======>
The beasts we need to catch are much bigger than these local rodents. Oh, don't get me wrong, they are as complicit as any other government in this story, but it goes way higher than mere governments. And even worse, there is nothing in this story or any other about the New World Order that offers any concrete solutions.
I must add also that I am not generally know as a conspiracy theorist, and for that reason, it is nice to see so much real evidence in this reality-checking video. It is interesting to note that Wikipedia not only has a section on this Bigger Story it also has )conspired, lol, to label it at least, by adding (Conspiracy theory) after the term 'New World Order'. Lol!
This really is, in spite of any preconceptions an important video, IMO, as it shyou may have,ows a more local part of the puzzle and focus's mainly on North America and should be alarming to all Canadians who are not fast asleep, confident that the Government of Harperland can be trusted to defend our interests. I have no such faith.
It's nice to know that we have such a Strong Stable Government is it ^NOT? Would you still think so if your Water was on Fire? This is also important and says a lot about our Government's inability to remember that we are living beings.
I will be updating this post from time to time. For now I will let you consider these videos.
Ezra Levant thinks or at least says that since James Moore, CPC MP and Harperland Minister in charge over at the Harperland Heritage Department sponsors what he considers to be really bad punk bands, that the CBC should therefore be defunded? A very round-about and subliminal message from a man who claims to defend Free speech, don'tcha think?
But of course, being Ezra, a Rovian and a somewhat stressed-out Straussian at heart, he (pretends?) to assail Harper and bad punk music and turns it all, oddly enough, into a twisted plea to shut down our public broadcaster.
It brilliantly weaves into the mix, the doubtful role of cultural funding in Harperland the presumption of his being an expert in things musical, gets in a lick or two at a government that he is known to support, (for balance?) and attacks the only public media in the country. A CBC which needs, in my opinion a lot less Government meddling. The media IMO needs to be separate from both religion and state. We need the Canadian Broadcasting Company to be more independent and under much less mean spirited Right winged political pressure.
The Harper government has a four year 40% mandate, but the CBC has in the mind of Canadians, a much longer 65% mandate. It really is our last line of defence. It needs to be there and be independent and unintimidated when the Next Election, or even the next Harper vs. Harperland or vise versa court case comes up. And they will come up. But will they come up before he softens the judiciary? Let's hope.
Harper has been implicated in some very serious stuff, at some point the courts are bound to somehow deny a final appeal eventually. A lot of Canadians are not aware of just how much of Harper's future is now in the hands of the courts. We need independent media, and free social media so that those of us who get this stuff, are able to share it. I say share it freely.
He makes no mention of the role of such fine institutions as the SUN though. Besides it is an entirely private enterprise which just happens to have a new competing (AS IF) news service of it's own. It is a bargain at half the price and generally well worth the ?? 25 cents ?? that a hard-copy is going for on weekdays here in Harperland.
I really wanted to comment there but the defender of Free speech himself writes a SUN blog that does ^NOT allow comments. It is sad really! Come on SUN open it up!
I await a reply. If you are an Ezra fan let him and the editors over there know that we are waiting over here.
Love the logic Ezra. Living with lions sucks (that much is true enough but just for kicks let me add that they received a Whopping one one hundred thousandth of the cost of the G20) so let's Scrap the CBC. And the way you worked the word 'bigoted' in there was awesome. You are such a pro.
At least you got the part about the band being bad right. But that is ^NOT your call. Nor is it mine.
