Conspiracy Theorists. Or, TEXAS FERTILIZER PLANT BLOWN UP BY ALIENS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION!!

The recent bombing in Boston has got me pissed off. (and a "missile" attack on a Texas fertilizer plant) Yes, someone or someones, killed and maimed people.  Same thing happens to people every day in countries that we bomb.  And yes, I say we, because the nation state of canada, has been best bud's of the nation state of the u.s. since as long as anyone can really remember.  Ya, sometimes we have our differences, (lumber in bc...) but canada always seems to be at the u.s.' beck and call.

 I don't think innocents should ever die.  Don't get me wrong.  I'm not saying that the u.s. deserves to get bomb, or have planes flown into it's buildings, but I also think they do invite retaliation with these endless wars for power and resources. But, that's not why I'm writing this.  I'm writing this, because of the endless bullshit that shows up on my facebook wall, every time some major catastrophic event happens where people die.  Boston Marathon, Newtown, Sandy Hook, and that's just within the last little while.  Do all of these events have to be some sort of false flag operation, where you get to call people what you want, because you think you know better, because someone like alex fucking jones feeds you bullshit, which you shovel down like ice cream, when it's really, just some runny shit.


Every "truther"(although I never used or liked the term myself) like myself(formerly), should eventually, WAKE UP!  Like I used to say all the time on my wall.  Well, I took my own advice.  Take a little bit of time, and do some research.  On how to do research.   Remember grade school science class?  Ya, that wasn't meant to enslave you...that was meant to educate you about how the universe works.  Most of your conspiracies, require a different universe.  Where the laws of physics change a bit...

The first conspiracy theory that I was ever really exposed to was that of JFK's assisination.  And all I got to say is, "Back and to the left.  .... Back and to the left." ~Bill Hicks  The next big one, actually happened in my lifetime.  9/11 and controlled demolition.  3 skyscrapers, and numerous other buildings fell, as the debris from the falling towers fell on them, after planes had ripped through the superstructure.  And even though, there has never been any credible evidence of a controlled demolition, other than the video's, which, if you take a closer look, don't actually look like controlled demolitions at all.  Take a look at a controlled demolition.







 Notice how the WHOLE building falls into itself.  For the most part.  Then look at the towers falling(easy to find on youtube).  With the exception of building 7, which had burned UNCONTROLLABLY, 7-8 hours before falling, as rescue workers were notably busy with casualties, the 2 towers fell from the top down.

now, you conspiracy theorist's are probably thinking right now, but that video proves 9/11 was an inside job.    Look how they fell, and it looked exactly like 9/11.  And sorry, but no, you're wrong.  I post that video, because it shows a "top down" demolition.  Which mimics exactly what happened to the towers.  A point of impact or fault is introduced to the structure, thereby compromising the entire thing.  With this building in the video, you can see that it was done properly, so that the building falls into its own footprint.  HEY LOOK!!! IT FUCKING PANCAKED! (below the point of fault) With 9/11, you can clearly see one of the towers tilting before collapsing on itself.  If you understand some basic physics concepts, like thermodynamics, and can actually look up the facts, such as the structural strenth of steel and concrete, plus grade school science like mass x acceleration=force(that's actually a calculation which can do) can give you approx. numbers on 9/11.  It doesn't take much to realize that the impact of a fueled plane, could easily damage the towers, and that after an hour of fire,(what, you think the jet fuel is the only thing that burns in office towers?)

I know, it's hard.  But it's time for you to finally wake up, and reject that which needs to be rejected, accept that which is left over. That's really your RESPONSIBILITY. You might come to some interesting conclusions, nothing of which that should stop you from activism.  All of which should make you want to fight even harder.  I've been rejected many people over the last while, because I can't deal with bullshit conspiracies.  I've been pre-empting many discussion's that will only lead to me being angry, because I can't handle idiots who can't handle basic science.

 Or wallow in the feeling that there's nothing to be done, the end is nigh, and the struggle can never be won, and we should just go hide out in the woods somewhere.  Don't get me wrong, I totally recognize the value of the skills many of my truther friends have.  But I totally reject the fallacies that led some to that point.  Honestly, it's the lack of understanding both sides to every story that gets me.  Have you ever honestly spent the time trying to disprove your theories?  Because that's what real research is.  You can "prove" anything.  But to really prove something, you have to totally disprove every other theory on the subject.   Something most conspiracy theorist never try to do, but instead distract with questions that aren't related at all.  And subject themselves to confirmation bias, and totally ignore the facts of any given situation, if it doesn't agree with the theory.

I'm just angry that so many people have fallen for this shit.  Including myself.  Because I rejected(not entirely, but mostly) grade school science.  Until I realized that in order to move forward, I needed to accept that I was wrong, on many things, because I didn't study properly.   I still am wrong from time to time, and if I am, challenge me.  Prove it.  Otherwise, shut it.  I really don't have time to listen to some people talk about bullshit.  Scientists and researchers always want to prove their theory, but in order to get there, they have to disprove all other options.  Conspiracy theorist also want to prove their theory, but in order to be a conspiracy theorist, you basically have to accept that science, the stuff you learned in grade school, should be thrown out the window, any argument you hear from someone else against your views should be automatically challenged, because it distracts from the "truth", and that person is probably a gov't agent, or mkultra'd.  Instead of of thinking, "Hmmm, maybe I am being an asshole.  Maybe I should learn how to research, and how to check my sources properly."

Man, I wish I got mkultra'd.  At least the drugs would have been better.

Hey GREG RENOUF of GENUINEWITTY.COM , thanks

So, I've noticed recently that the goof, known as greg renouf, has placed a link with my name to a cute little video he made up of me.  i think greg loves me, and I'd have his babies, but I think that the children would be a little confused...  On one hand, a parent who actually cares for people, and the other, an ignorant goof.  The child would probably self destruct.
But that's not why I'm writing this.  As much as I'd love to have babies with the goof, I don't think that bringing children into a world with goofs is a good thing.  Probably not.  The real reason I'm writing this, is to thank the goof.  He has placed me in the same hallowed spot as Harsha Walia.  I know, there are way more deserving people of that spot, but oh well.  the goof isn't all that smart, so I guess we'll just have to forgive him.
Thanks goof, for placing me on the same pedestal that you placed Harsha.  I couldn't ask for a better compliment.

Greg Renouf: Professional Goof - Featuring Genuinewitty.com

The defamation being done by Greg Renouf, to multiple targets in the past, should make any good activist think twice about associating themselves with him. Now, that defamation has crossed a line, not very many of us, could ever have imagined.

GR, herein known as "the goof" or "goof" or any any such variation, has published a video on youtube that shows parents out at rallies or events with their children, and libels those parents by calling them child abusers, for keeping their children out with them in the cold for "hours." I have been to many activist's events, in the winter months, and not only are those children bundled up well, or right next to the parents body(body heat is cool isn't it?), but I would think that most parents are concerned enough for their children's well being to take them into a warm place if need be. We human being survived with way less bundling up, and warm places to go, for many, many years, so I don't really see how it could be child abuse to bundle up your children and go outside for a couple hours.And goof...c'mon, wtf? There's a guy standing there with a fucking t-shirt on. Babies get bundled up. If someone can walk around with a t shirt, surely a bundled up baby, with a tent over the stroller, will be comfortable for some time.

Anyway goof, don't you have better things to do with your time, then take pictures of children without their parents permission or consent?  Seems more than a little creepy don't you think?  There is one thing though, that's been running through my mind. I may have mentioned it before, in that I mean goof, in every way, except one.  Well, now you're making me wonder.

An Ode to my Wife

I love my wife.  Very very much.  She is much the reason why I am able to do what I am doing, and without her, I don't know where I'd be right now.  She influences me in ways I really can't explain, except to say, that I wouldn't be able to do what I am doing without her.  She is the love of my life.  She is the unsung hero of my activism.  And all too often, I fail to recognize that.  I know that I am not the best partner in the world, but nor am I the worst.  I only say that assuage my own guilt I suppose, and really, I should be getting off these "I" statements.

Mary, you are the best thing that ever happened to me.  And I love you so much.  Words can not begin to describe how how much.  You love me, hold me, comfort me, and I only want to return the same thing.
Never leave me, my love.  I will never leave you.

Just because you don't always hear about us activist's in the news, doesn't mean we're not still here and working to make the world a better place.  Why aren't you doing the same?  Why aren't you doing something?%#$#

Step one for those who can.  Work contracts.  Step two, stop paying into the system as much as you possibly can.  Grow your own food, and learn how to process it.  Withold taxes.  Stop paying them where you can.  The whole system is morally bankrupt, so step 3, is merely, do what you can, where you can, when you can, and however the fuck you can.(that's reallly one step, but I liked the sentence, so I leave it :-)===)  Angry with the corporate state?  Smash it.  Destroy it.  Even a little.  Want to smash patriarchy?  Kill a rapist.  How abouts organizing a mass march against racism at the exact same time as white power nazi scum decide to march, on the same route.  Make sure to bring some hard flagpoles with the black and reds held high.  And remember who it was that was saluting the harper gov't when bill c-304 was passed.  Go to meetings, help organize community events, like round dances in solidarity with Idle No More and rallies in support of the Palestinian people.  Speak loudly on buses, in public places about these problems.  I want my conversations overheard.  I want people to start talking about issues with eachother, or at the very least, go educate themselves when they get home.  I want them to stop whatever it is they're doing, and demand and work for POSITIVE change.  Not the sham that THEY benefit politically and economically from.

Barak promised change.  But he's just brought more of the same.  Kind of glad that stephens main voting strategy was kittens and sweater vests..  Had it been something more intelligent, well, I'd hate to think of what kind of crap he'd spew.  I can actually kinda see it now...  Thousands of people on parliament hill.  Spilling out onto the street. Right hands held straight and high.  The chanting of the crowd.  Hail harper! Hail harper!

But seriously, harper seems to think that he and his cronies can run this pony show.  And run many of the same things just as badly as previous generations.  We are sure to get more of the same in the future.  Unless people are willing and able to make the changes in their own lives, to benefit their communities first. First off, to see exactly what it is they are missing from most mainstream sources, because, it's not like the public fool system really ever teaches kids about the problems with the state in civics class, instead preferring to just brush off questions on many aspects, because "delving into the details would take too long, curtis."  or whatever.  I've had bad teachers and good teachers, but I didn't learn about civics in class.  Yeah, good for the system.  Could have made things a lot clearer, but instead we only get a one sided view.  Because if you knew the limits, you'd realize, that they are there for the protection of the state, not the citizen.   As pointed out before, a morally bankrupt state.  A state enforced by a thug class, who walk around with guns, billy clubs, tasers, and steel toed boots, ready to attack and/or intimidate those who randomly try to exercise their rights.

Anyway, there is a cat scratching the door, a cold wind blowing, and the possibility of pigs being across the street is high.  I wonder if they're idling?

An Open Fucking Letter To Ezra Levant

A big fuck you goes out to ezra levant.   On his pseudo newsy, jive-ass, racist show recently, ezra thought it would be ok, to use a picture of mine, without properly attributing it.  Now, I have a creative commons watermark on all my pictures, which would normally require that media personalities, such as this goof, have to attribute those who's work he uses.

He didn't do that.  In fact, he lied, and said it was the "official" page of the Aamjinwnaang Rail blockade.  In fact, it was The Indignants Facebook group, which has nothing to do with Idle No More in particular.  We're a media group.  Yet sun news let him run with it.

I'm asking for a proper attribution, and an apology for not respecting Creative Commons licensing.  Ezra, for a lawyer, don't you want to comply with the law?  Because technically, you just broke it. LAW BREAKER!

Long live Free Speech! Free speech is dead!

Did you know, that in London, Ontario, you can be charged with "contempt of cop?"  Well, now you can!  Just think, you're walking down the street, and you say fuck a few times in conversation with someone, and you too can be charged with contempt of cop.  Yes, that's right, if there's a cop in the vicinity  and you say fuck, maybe even in conversation with the cop, you too can get a summons to court!

But in all seriousness, since when is using profanity against the law?  I was taught that we live in a free country, where free speech is paramount to a free and democratic society.  This doesn't mean that agents of the state get to decide what amounts to free speech and what doesn't.  The cops would have let the fuckin' nazi's march in our streets, in a mistaken belief that hate speech is free speech, for fucks sake.

Here's the encounter that's led to this fucked up situation for those interested in what a police state looks like:

A little background now.  For the previous few months before this, the police had been very interested in all things Occupy.  I fail to see how an uninvited group would think it's ok to "observe" and "monitor" a peaceful group of activists.  They wonder why I'm so outspoken and critical?  Maybe because they forgot what police work is really about.  Like catching real criminals.  Like kidnappers, rapists, and murderers.

But this is easy work.  Watching a bunch of people rally.  Not like you have to do much.  Just stand there, and be a reminder that if you try to do anything "bad" we're gonna getcha.  Oh, better not march on the streets now, better not be too loud, better not FUCKING SWEAR!  Ooops.. I'm sooooo sorry.

And you know, if you want to say,"Oh, well, you're in the wrong, they were just doing their job", well, sorry, but you'll have to excuse me when I say this is classic intimidation tactics by the state.  This is how it starts people.  With the surveillance and persecution of peaceful activists.  To believe otherwise, is to be truly naive and ignorant.  A history lesson might be in order.  But that'll have to be another post.  For now, lets just say, I don't believe in standing idly by, while someone violates me.  In any way, shape, or form.

A few weeks ago, I was walking downtown.  I noticed a woman being questioned by the police.  As I was walking by, the one cop started calling my name, and said, "hey, I've got a ticket for you".  He was lying to me.  There was never any ticket.  It was an weak attempt at trying to get me to stop to intimidate me.  I ignored him, and continued about my business.

So I went to pay my bill.  When I was in the store, I saw the cornelius nieuwland walk by the door in the hallway and hesitate when he saw me.  He continued and I finished paying my bill.  As I walked out the store, mike pottruff started following me, and calling my name.  I got fed up, and took out my phone and started filming.  I hit the record button twice by accident, so didn't get any footage of my first discussion.  I turned the other direction and walked away.  I started filming myself at this point, to try and document my experience, and noticed that mike had also turned around.  cornelius was waiting at the corner(right beside a "No Loitering sign ironicly) and mike went to join him.  Anyway, you can watch that vid here:

                                   

mike says that he's got a summons for me at this point.  I'm well aware that no fucking beat pig is going to have a summons on his person, and therefore, has no reason to stop and harass me, other than to practice intimidation techniques.

I don't respond well to so called "authority" figures overstepping their mandates.  Fuck bacon.  You want to intimidate and harass peaceful activist's, you've got another thing coming.  I'll fight this, because it is the right thing to do.  We let cops violate our rights, then we are asking for trouble.  The only thing I am guilty of, is "contempt of cop" and that's not a fucking crime pigs.

See ya in court.
