Is he about to Mountie her?
This morning I learned an interesting new theory about what could have been behind the story of RCMP Corporal Jim Brown. He’s the Mountie who had a scandal involving sadomasochistic photographs that he posted online. One of the pictures included his face, and the others didn’t. As would be expected- the mainstream media went apeshit with it…

Okay, so imagine for a moment that you’re on the funding committee of a government funded-organization. You’re name is Bob, and you’re one of the lucky dozen people who’ve been chosen to help approve funding & grant applicants. Bob’s all excited to be involved on such an important task. But, then, he realizes he’s stepped into a trap- the big boss’s wife is one of the applicants.
Bob’s got that feeling you get when you’ve just felt the dog pooh oozing around your new cotton sandals…

Jesus (of Siberia, not Puerto Rico)
Dear Kevin,
I saw you published your letter about being barred from the UK by the Queen and her satanic henchmen! (well, that and you’ve been banned entry for misuse of a tourist visa.) So, does this mean that you are nervous that HM Immigration are now aware of the fact you’ve previously smuggled yourself into Wales by ferry? They may be aware at all ferry terminals Kevin- your Canadian passport will make it easy to point you out.

I’ve been thinking about October 15th, the one-year anniversary for Canadian occupations. What were people thinking back when it happened, how do those from the outside view it now?
So, while searching for some things today, I came across this comment from an article on the Georgia Strait from October 7th. The article is about the launch of Occupy Vancouver- this guy’s comment is a classic.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria – He got shot then 37 million people died.
I was at St James Park yesterday, about to do something rather fun and exciting. A friend sent me a message that Canada’s withdrawing diplomatic staff from Iran. It felt a lot like the moment I learned about 9/11 from an email. All that it said was “I guess we’re at war now”. I’ve been a bit shaken by the news ever since.

Kevin Annett: MIA
Where has Kevin Annett gone to? He had a meeting at the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin with a Father Damien but he didn’t show-up. One has to wonder what has happened with him. Have the Guarda put a fake Kevin Annett in front of a camera with a leprechaun and a crack pipe? Perhaps he’s been arrested after being setup by the pope’s evil cabal?

Oh, apologies, that was the wrong screenshot- silly me! I meant to share a screenshot of what’s been the big buzz in Occupy Toronto circles the past couple of weeks. Here it is:

Ali Yerevani – Obedience cult leader (recognize the flag?)
Why is it that so many people here believe that the police are ultra-violent fascist monsters- has Canada turned into the US? Well, not quite, as someone who has spent a lot of time in both countries I can say with confidence that I feel much safer around the police here than over there. My greatest problem with Canadian police is that they appear to be incompetent.
So, why do we keep hearing of spine-chilling police incidents aimed at innocent people? Well, like everywhere, they certainly do occur- and, each real incident should be taken seriously. But, sometimes that can be difficult to achieve as there are legions of Marxists and other anti-police activists on the streets who striving to make us believe that police violence is inherent in the system. And, each time David Eby cries wolf, he muddies up the waters for when real cases occur.

I’m the one on the stage, wearing orange…
One of the most popular songs at Occupy Vancouver’s opening day was the Beatles’ Revolution. I remember when it came on the first time, shortly after I did my first speech on taking corporate money out of politics. I was excited and pumped-up after speaking to the crowd- they loved my proposal and I already had the backing of my local MP. It felt like we were on the path to a very exciting journey…

Let’s hope there will be justice for Kevin’s Victims…
I’m well-aware of how painful it is to listen to Kevin Annett tell his lies. So perhaps because I’m a masochist, or maybe I’m altruistic- but I listen to Kevin’s crap so that you don’t have to (but, please do if you can take the pain.) Anyhow, I was listening to Annett’s most recent radio show last night, and was it ever a doozy! In this episode he gets into a conversation about why people should stop paying taxes…
