LAC – MEGANTIC TRAIN DERAILMENT AND EXPLOSION / part two / A VISIT FROM THE BLACK DEATH / STEPHEN HARPER IS REPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS AND DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWN / HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH MURDER / THESE ARE THE LAST FATALITIES WE WILL ACCEPT * BOUGHT ON THE ALTAR OF MONEY AND POWER BY LYIN STEVE AND THE AMERICAN OIL MONOPOLY 11/ 07/13

Stephen Harper has been fashioning this tragedy in Lac – Megantic since he came to power. He is turning the Country over to his employers [ the American oil monopoly ] and giving the pipeline / rail companies free rein. Harper deregulated the railways. Meaning that he pulled most of the inspectors off the job. As well Steve turned a blind eye to the fact that the pipelines and railways were breaking the laws with impunity. And severely endangering all Canadians The transportation of flammable liquids comes under strict rules. The pipelines and railways are ignoring the rules, paying off the politicians and lying to the regulatory officials. The result the innocent are turned into crispy critters. The Kinder Morgan toxic tar spill in Burnaby BC, the Enbridge tar spill in Kalamazoo Mich., the EXXON Alberta tar spill in Mayflower Arka. and the tar spill in Lac-Megantic have gone largely uninvestigated. There is no reason to see a change in these coverups until the bodies are piled high enough for the public to become aroused.  Lyin Steve neutered the agencies in charge of the petroleum industry [ Transport Canada, the Nat. Transportation Safety Board, the National Energy, Environment   Canada and Natural Resources ]. I have been making this point for years to the petro $ media [ especially the Star, Globe, Post and Sun. ] But there has never been any acknowledgement of my concerns about the deadly black cocktail that is criss crossing the Country and down into the US. Namely  tar mixed with Zippo lighter fluid [ benzine and naptha are components of Hi Octane gasoline ]. I keep using the term lighter because people are familiar with its’ deadly potential. Over time it has become clear that Harper and his Facists followers have been well rewarded cashwise by the oilies for their betrayal of OUR Country.  They are modern day Fifth Columnists supported by oil money. Stealing this Country from under our noses. The media too was and is being paid by the oil monopoly in return for publishing favourable coverage, spin, lies, self censorship and regurgitating oilie propaganda [ CAPP ]. The coverup of the Black Death being piped / trained everywhere in Canada could only happen with aquiescence of the TV / newspapers [ not the CBC ].  If the media had been telling us the truth over the past half dozen years this loss of life at Lac-Megantic would never have happened. Steve’s plans to turn over control of Canada to the US oil monopoly would have been exposed long ago. and we could have put a stop to it.  As it is the media,  particularly Paul Godfrey’s National Post [ owned by Americans ] and David Thomson’s Globe and Tar get hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising from the oil monopoly. This is the reason Paul Godfrey and David Thomson print oilie propaganda exclusively. Calling the Black Death //  O I L  \\  is running 1000 to one in the $ media. A thousand mentions of a substance that kills being shipped as oil to only one mention of the truth, that is raw Alberta tar [ DilBit, the real cargo ]. Leaving the word DilBit out of articles is worth pure gold to the likes of Rex Murphy, Andrew Coyne and Claudia Cattaneo.  In this case too many Quebecers have died partly as a result of media greed and the shills [ those who do the dirty work for the monopoly ] who actually write the bogus stuff. The largest percentage of the victims were far too young to be sacrificed, this only in pursuit of greed, power and the bottom line.  Wall St.’s  bottom line to boot.  Stephen Harper should be ARRESTED AND TRIED FOR MURDER. Most of the Nazis tried at Nuremberg were hanged for orchestrating the deaths of millions. They didn’t actually commit the crimes personally. Harper set the stage for Lac-Megantic all by himself.  I buy 4 newspapers a day to survey how far the rabid right wing is prepared to go in converting Canada into an oligarchy, controlled by US oil monopoly executives. The Papers are the Toronto Star, the Globe and Oil, the National Post and the Toronto Sun.  Each one of them is on the of the Harper / oil monopoly payroll.  I access the CBC on TV. I still see Joe Oiliver, David Collyer  and Russ Girling teling their lies but the other side of the story is made available on th CBC. No wonder Lyin Steve wants rid of the CBC.  In the Harper press / TV the other side of the story is NEVER TOLD.  I also do research on the net, it is the only place you can find the truth and GET BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY. Harper is now trying to strangle the CBC by any means possible. And I also search out comments from independant bloggers and English Newspapers particularly [ the Guardian / Independent ]. It is interesting, after a week of kissing the asses of oil monopoly executive by Canadian petrol $ media it fell to the Guardian [ UK ] to call a spade a spade. The Paper calls what happened in Lac – Megantic a CORPORATE CRIME. Right on. Imagine, in Canada, having to turn to a UK paper to find out the real story. That is how dangerous our media is. They lie to us everyday. Please wake me up when Joe Oiliver tells the truth. This is also a Harper Facist Government CRIME, aid and abetted by the Star, Globe, Post [ chain ], Sun [ chain ], CTV, Global News and others [ not the CBC ]. I was particularly stuck by the July 9 / 13 issue of the Globe and Tar in regards to the lengths to which David Thomson’s Paper went to snuggle up and indeed kiss oilie asses. The Globe keeps repeating that the train in Megantic was carrying //  LIGHT OIL  \\.  Investigators have yet to say what the cargo was. The reason  Thomson keeps using the term light oil is a fear by the oil monopoly Canadians will find out it was Alberta tar mixed with lighter fluid that blew up in Megantic.  It is as if to the Globe the survivors of Lac – Megantic, Quebecers and Canadians did /do not exist. This is what happens when a newspaper like the Globe is on the receiving end of an endless number of full page oil ads at a $ 100,000 a pop.  Many such ads have been printed in Thomson’s Globe in recent days. The American oil monopoly can’t just give Thomson money to throw the fight. But it can place never ending full page ads to influence David’s coverage of megantic. The never seeing any evil monkey. Ad money trumps printing the other side of the story. At any time in the last 4 years Thompson could have blown the whistle on Harper, the oil monopoly and the Black Death. But Dave prefered / prefers  cold cash to the hard truth. Thomson prefers US Wall St. domination to seeing Canadians live free.  David is more interested in his own pocket than the future of Canada. Thomson also fools the average oil stock investor. He facilitates brokerage bottom lines.  I have all of the Globe’s energy articles in my files along with those from the other papers going well back. I also have the oil advertisments that bought / buy allegiance going way back. From these ads we could determine how many oil millions have been paid to the newpapers to betray YOU. THE PEOPLE OF LAC – MEGANTIC  HAVE BEEN BETRAYED. YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED. From my files we could get an idea of just what this Country is really worth in dollars and cents to Thomson, Post, Sun, Star and the US oil monopoly. Of course in every encounter, Dave, the other papers and the oilies win. They rig the game in their own favour.  We, Canadians are always the losers. Even the last election was stolen by Harper using oil money.  With the Toronto Star my collection of clippings goes back even farther, more than 8 years. These cover the years that the Star, Rob Prichard and John Honderich shilled for the nukies. And the Star is still taking nukie money.  For each of the papers I could write a book on the false and misleading information printed as well as the lies, corporate propaganda and connect each with extensive advertising campaigns by the rich and powerful. I can identify all the journalists who chose money over the welfare of this Nation.  The papers mentioned bear much of the responsibility for Canada’s now , much weakened democracy and specifically the Lac – Megantic trainwreck. I am going to push for laws which will jail the media moguls too [ Thompson, Godfrey, Peladeau and Honderich ] who publish lies, false and misleading copy that is damaging to this Country. Freedom of the press doesn’t mean selling out to the highest bidder and telling American oil monopoly lies in retrun for fat cheques. For a long time I have had a running battle with the Globe over inserts in the Paper under the heading ” Information Supplement “. These are advertising sections and are written to look like news columns [ they are meant to fool you ]. Thomson gets paid extra by advertisers for such  phony news columns. This subterfuge is not acceptable under Ontario Press Council rules but the OPC will do nothing about it.  When I complained about the Globe I struck out. The Press Council manager just yawned, he operates an industry front and runs interference for the papers The OPC is a sham.  I complained to Advertising Standards Canada too but that organization is just another industry front, from them I got nothing but silence. another sham. This is how our democracy is going to die. By having thousands of weak minded individuals like Andrew Coyne, Margaret Wente and Rex Murphy [ best termed  stenographers ] writing oil /  nuclear / corporate copy. They too chose to take money over Canada. You know, like the Nazi pencil pushers. They too are just following orders in return for a pay cheque. There has been hell to pay in New York State. The Attorney General, Eric T. Schneiderman has demanded that Thomson Reuters [ owned by David Thomson ] stop providing insider information to the rich in advance of the public / little stock investors being informed about crucial corporate information. This allows David himself to profit from the wide practice of insider trading.  David charges $ 6000 per month per stock firm for advanced info. This is without doubt criminal activity. And this is exactly how the rich get richer. Barbara Black’s famous little people get charged by the police for defending their stores against robbery. Thomson robs the public but walks.  Barb, little people herself, was born in London’s [ UK ] Jewish east end. Babs has spent a lifetime trying free herself from the ranks of the untermensch.  Barb indeed made it to money status. Even though Conrad stole the money. How is distributing insider information by Thomson any different than accepting US oil monopoly ad money in return for  publishing lies and  favourable spin?  Or sticking up banks for that matter. The Globe regularly features Gywn Morgan, formerly CEO with SNC – Lavalin who has been involved in criminal activities with a number of other firms over the years [ check the net to see what this crook Morgan is really all about, he loves other people’s money ]. Gwyn and his wife live in a $ 7.5 million house in BC.  No doubt he bought the house with cheat money. And David Thomson features Gwyn. The Globe loves law breakers. You know like Conrad Black who made a career out of taking other people’s cash, even his employee’s pension money. The public is told that the Conman is a great Canadian businessman. Bullshit. Black destroyed every business that came into his hands. I wouldn’t have Gwyn and Conrad and their wives over for dinner the are so disreputable. They’d probably steal my silverware.  SNC threw Morgan under the bus to show their disgust with his behaviour.  But Thomson still gives Gwyn space to spout his discredited right wing nonsense and polish his halo. Morgan worked for Christy Clark which shows you where she is at in the scheme of things. Also still appearing in the Globe is Tom Flanagan, an American draft dodger and perv who helped Herr Harper launch his political career at the University of Oil in Calgary. That two bit University was built with oil monopoly money. Thomson claims Flanagan to be a Distiguished Fellow at the University. Tom is an American who ran away when his Country called. Maybe Lyin Steve learned about  running away from trouble from Flanagan? The University of Calgary is the centre for regime change in Canada backed by the US oil monopoly. And the University launders oil money and distributes the dough to climate deniers including those at Carleton University in Ottawa.  Another of Thomson’s stars  at the Globe is one Preston Manning who operates a phony educational  Institution in Calgary which runs on taxpayer’s dollars. Preston and his helpers Richard Ciano and Nick Kouvalis train Canadian Fascists, righties and the Harper Youth how to steal elections [ as happened in 2011 ].  Richard and Nick  have mounted a campaign against Tim Hudak to move the Ontario PCs into Herr Harper’s Fascist camp before the next vote. This Province’s next election is no doubt already being engineered by the American right. And Preston himself is busy gearing up to steal 2015.  On a regular basis Thomson publishes on his Comment and Analysis page in the Business Section the right wing blatherings of one Brian Lee Crowley. Another wimp who anointed himself an Uberman in the Nietzsche cult tradition. Brian sure looks like a real man doesn’t he?  Just like his friend Pierre Poilievre. I’ll bet they both drive Dodge Ram trucks with 550 cu in engines?  In the heading on each of Brian’s offerings in the Globe there appears one of his many lies. It says he is the Managing Director of something called the Macdonald – Laurier Institute [ Crowley probably operates out of a phone booth ]. And here is the interesting part. The   Mac. / Laur. Inst. is an extention of the PMO but it is descibed in Thomson’s Paper as an idependent non-partisan public policy think tank in Ottawa.  Just another Globe lie.  Crowley too operates on taxpayer’s nickel. Brian is non partisan my behind. Crowley like Ezra Le Rant works for Harper and takes orders from the PMO then concocts economic data to suit, to justify Government  initiatives. How much does Herr Harper actually pay David Thomson for his services? Attack ads / oil ads of course.  Brian Crowley is connected with right wing think tanks in the US and the Heartland Inst. [ the oil funded home of climate deniers in North America ]. He is a member of the secretive Civitas Society. Civitas is small right wing group funded by the rich. Lyin Steve and Preston Manning are both members. They are the ones [ Civitas ] who really run Canada. And they too are partly reponsible for the Lac – Megantic tragedy. The Civitas Society promotes corporate greed, the destruction of Medicare, eliminating pensions, curbs on education, the elimination of social programs for the mongrel mob [ us ],  reduced business taxes, the end of regulations for corporations [ the tar sands, pipelines and the railways ], the lowering of Canadians to slave status and other right wing causes like book burning. The US oil monopoly supports the Civitas Society as does David Thomson. The Civitas message is the same as we get from the Fraser Inst., C. D. Howe Inst., Canada West, Carleton University, the Montreal Economic Institute and the U of Calgary. Did you know they are all connected. Gwyn Morgan gave the Fraser Inst. a million bucks. No doubt laundered oilie money. Margaret Wente, an American and a plagiarizer, is another of the Globe’s featured stenographers. Marg, is an airhead who just writes what she is told, more false and misleading copy. Recently, when the Keystone pipeline was hot Wente was repeating the oilie line word for word. Lately she has been going on about nuclear. All the same nukie lies that go back 40 years. Wente is too stupid to think for herself. In fact Thomson should create a LIES section in the Globe and call it an information suppliment.  Where readers can go to get all their Fascist updates and false copy quickly and in one place. The foregoing is a short history of  just one newspaper [ a leading one at that ] bent on handing Canada over to the Americans. There are a hundred more such publications. Hiltler controlled the press by force. Herr Harper controls the press with oil money [ except the CBC and the Guardian UK ].  Do you really think David Thomson and the Globe would utter a single  disparaging  word about Herr Harper and his employer the American oil monopoly. Not bloody likely. Thomson can’t make any money telling the truth. There is more money to be made reprinting lies. There is no money to be made taking up the interests of Canadians and protecting them against tar / lighter fluid explosions. There is lots of money to be made kissing the asses of  Harper and oil monopoly executives though. The deaths at Lac – Megantic and the destruction of the Town are seen by Harper, the US oil monopoly, US pipelines, the US railways [ they are all owned by Wall St. hedge funds ] and petro $ media as just the cost to //  US  \\  of  //  THEM  \\  doing business. They take the money, we take the risks, including death. This possible fate awaits along every pipeline and railway in the Country. We bow too willingly and too often to the self anointed superior people it would seem. The rich / right [ Nietzsche inspired ] see the majority of Canadians as  mindless, undeserving untermenschs, to be controlled and exploited. They feel the sooner WE come to understand our place in the scheme of things  the better for THEM. This is the right wing’s idea of democracy. And the Globe and Tar makes money pushing their agenda. In fact our Lady Black famously said, ” The little people should know their place “. That’s YOU Babs is refering to, BY THE WAY. The question I have is this. Will you go willingly to the ovens at the time and place they decide???

*****************************************************************************************************

According to the petrol $ media we now know the causes of the the Lac – Megantic disaster. Tom Mulcair blamed Harper for the tragedy and Steve was. Since Megantic Stevie has run away. It isn’t the first time he has wimped out. The $ media would have us believe Tom started those fires,  polluted the ground with benzine and fouled the air / water ]. David Suzuki only spoke out about immigration problems. Even so, he is obviously partially to blame for Megantic. Some drunk who wandered over the police lines causing a huge problem [ he has to be included as one of the culprits of course  ]. And then there is the poor engineer who set the brakes which were probably faulty to begin with.  M, M and A. didn’t own the tankers. They were among the hundreds of obsolete tank cars rounded up to get the Alberta tar [ the Black death ] to the Gulf. The poor engineer was hung out to dry by M, M and A [ Mickey Mouse and Atlantic ].  CEO, Edward Burkhardt heaped blame on this guy without any proof whatsover. And the Harper media were quick to fall in line. Apparently the right to a fair trial or any trial at all has disappeared in Canada.  These are the scapegoat stories now being orchestrated by the PMO, among others. But you will note, not a whisper in the media about the cargo of Black Death [  raw bitumen ] .  Mixing tar with lighter fluid creates an even more lethal concoction than when they are individual substances.  Be assured, this toxic tar slurry will be coming to a place near you soon. On second thought, it is probably  already passing your window right now or maybe through a pipe under your front lawn. This is the big story the media is being paid to sit on. Thousands of Canadians facing ruin or death this very day because of Herr Harper.  What we have here is a two part accident that is being stage managed by Harper and the oil monopoly with the help of the petro $ media including the Globe and Tar. The first part, is the derailment of an overloaded train [ the little part ]. The second part, the lethal cargo, is the BIG PART. But the fact that this side of the story exists will never appear in the petro $ media. The papers / TV [ not the CBC ] are paid to censor the news in order to deflect blame away from those who are really responsible for this tragedy, Harper and his employers. This coverup is being done to  confuse Canadians and by extention, the world. It must be kept from people around the globe that this Nation is in the grip of the American oil monopoly like so many other third world countries. Delivered to the oilies by Lyin Steve and the petro $ media like the Globe and Tar.  The info that eminates from our turncoat media is fantasy,  spin, lies, omissions and oil propaganda. This is the visible part of the biggest deliberate fraud that North America has ever seen. The movement of dangerous tar / lighter fluid all gussied up to look  like  //  O I L   \\  . What is being shipped is not your run of the mill runny Vaseline type  //  O I L  \\. This here is the bitchy  //   O I L \\ .  It’s //   O I L  \\  with lots of attitude like EXOXN.  It’s //  O I L  \\  that will rear up and bite the ass off you if you create just the tiniest spark.  This fraud concerns an attempt by the US oil monopoly to get liquified Crude Bitument out of Alberta under our very noses, without obeying the regulations and on the cheap.  In the doing  the oilies are leaving behind a heap of toxic waste and polluted tailing ponds for the Albertans to clean up.  The removal of the raw tar is polluting the Province’s landscape, air and water. In fact the cost of putting things back right is gone way beyond Alberta’s ability to pay. As  happened in the past [ 1947, Leduc ] when Canada was forced to bail the Province out.  Albertans will take down their Harper firewall and come cap in hand to the rest of Canada looking for a bailout to deal with the deadly oilie  garbage.  This toxic tar / lighter fluid is being pumped or hauled to the Texas / California coasts to then be turned into //  O I L  \\  FOR THE WORLD MARKET.  DID YOU GET THAT?  THE WORLD MARKET.  NOT the Canadian market,  nor the American market as the Globe / Post and the other paid media [ CTV ] would have you believe.  I repeat, this  //  O I L   \\   is  NOT FOR Canada, NOT for the Americans, no matter what Joe Oiliver and the  Republican politicians say. They have all been paid off by the oilies. This  conspiracy involves Harper, the US oil monopoly, Enbridge, Kinder Morgan,  TransNotCanada,  CP / CN, the stock market, the $ media and others. Both members of the US Congress and our House of Commons have been well bribed in this regard. The raw tar mixed with Zippo lighter fluid [ naptha / benzine ] is required by the oil monopoly refineries that operate in Duty Free / Tax Free Zones  on the US Gulf / California coasts. These refineries pay NO AMERICAN TAXES.  In fact liquified Crude Bitumen is not  even considered to be  //  O I L   \\  BY  WASHINGTON.  As result EXXON, Enbridge, TransNot Canada, Kinder Morgan et al DO NOT PAY TAXES ON THIS TAR SLURRY WHICH IS BEING PUMPED / TRAINED ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA. But this is that old magician’s trick being used by the $ media on behalf of the oilies, now you see it, now you don’t.  For a couple of years the media has called DilBit  //  O I L   \\  . Next week they could call it strawberries? Or how about yogurt? If accompanied by a large oilie cheque the media will call anything anything the monopoly wants.  Even liquid Viagra, it doesn’t matter?  It’s the advertising cheque that counts to people like David Thomson of the Globe and Tar. The refineries on the Texas / California coasts, that can handle black tar were converted about 12 years ago to  process Venezuelan heavy oil, which is just a day away by ship. The Venezuelan Government was corrupt [ like the Harper Government is here ] and had been bought off while the peasants there could not afford food, to educate their children or receive medical care. Canada is not yet to that point but Lyin Steve is trying hard.  The US oil monopoly was assured of an endless supply of cheap, heavy oil with no cleanup necessary. Then the Venezuelans, led by Hugo Chavez revolted. This showed what a huge blunder the oil monopoly had made. The new, now useless refineries have cost oil stock holders billions. Hugo Chavez, the devil that he was, nationalized the Country’s oil industry [ Canada’s next move ]. This cut the monopoly off from supplies of heavy oil, oops. Some of the smaller parts of the oil monopoly made deals with Chavez and agreed to a 32% royalty. You have got to remember those superior Albertans who are always mouthing it up give their Crude Bitumen away at a royalty rate of 8% on $ 40 a barrel of tar. The oil monopoly then turns around and sells that barrel for $ 106 after refining.  It is interesting that modern refining can extract an extra 2 gallons of product out of barrel of crude oil.  So letting the monopoly take the tar [ like raw logs of yesteryear ] means royalty on $ 40. That means a spread of $ 66 to the monopoly. Then the Americans get a 2 gallon bonus on top of that.  You also have to remember sometimes the oil monopoly cheats the poor saps in Edmonton out of their royalty. At times Albertans claim to be such a swift bunch, strutting about and such. You can catch this from all the right wing writers out of the west. But Harper has shown just how stupid Albertans are. Lyin Steve and his employer, the oil monopoly are picking their Western carcass clean and the $ media cheers them on.  And the Calgary petro media defends what amount to rape of it own people..  Pray tell me, which jurisdiction is in the 3rd world, Venezuela or Alberta? The oil monopoly majors would not play ball with Chavez and for a long time their refineries have been operating at 25% capacity. There is no money in running at 1/4 speed. Then one of them got the bright idea of using raw, unrefined tar from Fort McMurray but it had to be called  //   OIL   \\ as a means to cover up the dangerous truth. Even the tar sands name which had been around since the 1800s was labelled //  OIL   \\ sands.  This was repeated over and over to the media and drilled into reporters heads.  Never forget that it is  //  OIL \\. The words bitumen, tar, lighter fluid, naptha and benzine have been stricken from the English language all over Canada.  That’s what hundreds of millions in Oil money can do and exobitant gas prices can do. Canadians are paying the freight to dismantle their own hard won democracy .To be successful this whole tar operation had / has to be kept from Canadians and Americans by the media. That is what David Thomson is paid to do.  And it is working.  Crucial to what amounts to this theft of Provincial / Canadian  resources and the endangerment of Canadian and US citizens was the complete  surrender of the petrol $ media to the coverup cause. Complete obedience was and is  required from the papers and TV. This in return for millions of dollars of advertising hush money. David Thomson / Globe and Tar seems to be a major beneficiary of this scheme. His Paper leads the pack in promoting the oil monopoly pitch and get most of the ads. The tar [ it is NOT //  OIL   \\ until it is refined ] was / is pumped by pipe or trained to the Gulf  coast. And it goes by tanker from the BC coast to California [ not to Asia as Oiliver would have you believe ]. This toxic tar is refined and sold to the WORLD MARKET. The oilies make the huge profit margin of $ 40 on a barrel.  Alberta Premier Redford is running a deficit while the monopoly takes billions upon billions upon billions out of her Province. What P. T Barnum said is true, ” there’s a sucker born every minute ” and a lot of them live in the foothills of the Rockies. While the yahoos out there rail against the NEP and the east the Yankee oil monopoly are stealing them blind.  In fact BC could have had its’ very own Lac-Megantic.  The Kinder Morgan pipe was ruptured [ 2007 ] in Burnaby. You can watch the tar / benzine geyser on the internet.  Just a single spark could have burned out Burnaby and east Vancouver, just like in Lac-Megantic. But Vancouver is in a worse position yet because ships laden with liquified Crude Bitument leave through the Burrard Inlet every day. A fire on board one of these floating bombs would give us a repeat of the 1917 ship explosion in Halifax harbour. 1600 people were killed there by the blast and almost 10,000 were injured. You can see the cloud from that explosion in Halifax on the net. it is in black and white but it looks like Lac- Megantic. In Halifax the shock came and went.  Lac- Megantic blew and blew and blew as each tank car exploded. The Town burned for days.  If a ship blew up in the Vancouver narrows it would explode as each internal tank over heated and blew. The flaming benzine would fill the sky and the tar would burn for days. No doubt the fully engulfed ship would run aground somewhere because the crew would be crispy critters by then. And to think the only reason the tar is heading south to the Ruined States of America is to keep idle oil monopoly  refineries functioning. It is as plain and simple as that. Head wimp Harper knows which side his cheque is buttered on. And it is the only reason why we face all these risks, Thousands of innocent people on both sides of the border are being offered up as human sacrifices to the glory of the American oil monopoly.  Burn babies burn.  US law prevents the monopoly from shipping oil out of the US. Tar from Canada, going to the Gulf / Calif. is not considered American. Thus the monopoly can sell it at a huge profit with no American taxes. While Quebecers, Albertans and the rest of Canada gets shafted by Herr Harper. If there was a world oil crisis the monopoly might just sell gas /’diesel  to the highest bidder if they could get away with it. The monopoly was never trusted from 1932 to 1980 in the USA.  During the OPEC crisis the American Government, when it still represented the Untermenschs pass a law to prevent the monopoly from exporting oil. This would leave the little Yanks high and dry. This US law was brought in before Reagan.  This is the same kind of law that Pierre Trudeau passed in 1980. The NEP was meant to protect Canadians from a very greedy oil monopoly selling OUR OIL to the highest bidder somewhere else. And destroying Canada’s economy The oilies didn’t / don’t like Ottawa interfering in their business as they saw / see it. The monopoly believe THE OIL IN OUR WEST IS THEIR’S. Many a slow Albertan was misinformed over and over about the NEP back in the 1980s by the oilies, petro press in Calgary and Preston Manning.  Steve Harper, the wimp without a cause, found one in the NEP. A 25 year old from Ontario,  who took up a phony cause [ NEP ] and made someone elses’s battle his own. There are some in the west who have still not caught on to the lie about the NEP. Even to this present day. What oafs. In 2010 the oil monopoly took $125 billion in petroleum resources out of Alberta. The Province got back  8%, a little over $ 10 billion. And it is left with 175 accumulated tailing ponds of toxic sludge which Albertans are responsible for cleaning up.  Why the 8% royalty will never even come close to covering the cleanup, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. For more than 200 years this saying has existed. Beware of Yankee traders, ye will rue the day. Herr Harper is bankrolled by the oil monopoly and has remove all impediments to the theft and transport of the tar by the monopoly and the despoiling of the Province and the rest of Canada.  And Lying Steve has facilitated the monopoly in doing a dirty number on the air, ground and water in Alberta / Saskatchewan and anywhere else the tar goes like BC / Lac-Megantic / Toronto / Montreal.  This is the threat we now face. Wherever a pipeline or rail line runs  the locals face the prospect of being fried like the dead at Lac – Megantic. And the media, like the Globe and Tar are being paid to hide this info from you and me. The Town of Megantic has paid a hell of a price for pure greed and the pursuit of power. From here on in any community along a pipeline or rail line risks the towering inferno like Lac – Megantic. The only question is who will be next?  It is interesting to me that in regards to this tragedy Queen Elizabeth expressed condolences about Megantic to the very man, Herr Harper who caused this  devastation and loss of life. At the end of this piece I will take you through this criminal act step by step. I’ll cover the past, the present and look to the future. I don’t have a crystal ball but if one has many / most / all of the facts a good educated guess about what the future holds is possible.   Georgie Bush Jr. and the Republican Congress removed ALL RESTRAINTS from Wall St. and the banks. The result is they destroyed America. Lyin Steve has removed all the restraints on the tar sands, again, what comes out of the tar sands IS NOT LEGALLY //   OIL   \\].  Its’legal name is Crude Bitumen [ the Black Death ]. But the petrol $ media is paid to call it  //  OIL  \\. Thus many are facing ruin and death but you won’t find these facts in Thomson’s Globe. The people of Lac – Megantic have been dealt the first deadly blow. Could it be that the negligence of a little Mickey Mouse railway will bring about the end of the great bitumen [ Black Death ] fraud / conspiracy in North America??? The curtain has been pulled back. But I have my doubts that Edward Burkhardt is really responsible. The 77 oil tankers [ these tankers were not Burkhardt’s property ] were not Red Placarded as hazardous [ HAZMAT ] and it was an exceptional long, heavy train. I question the mechanical state of these tankers. Were the hand brakes even roadworthy? Would the engineer even know if the brakes were in ood condition?   it just maybe that even if all those old covered wagon brakes were on they couldn’t  hold such weight on a 1.5% grade. If I had inspected those brakes you would have the answer right now.  It would be that easy to determine. Only if I had all the figures. But Transport Canada,  is now run from the PMO and they will never release such information. Get used to it, M, M and A  is Harper’s scape goat, he and  his  lackeys in the press will stick with the Government proscribed scape goat.  And as long as the Harper / oil money keeps flowing the petro $ media will run with this story.  Andrew Coyne / Ezra Le Rant are already on the case. No doubt they too can smell the money and bonuses. In the end we should be able put Steve Harper and his oil monopoly employers in jail for this massacre. The final part of this story will also include the end of the petro $ media as we have known it. Aiding and abetting the crime of murder in return for cash, as the media has done and continues to do should also bring punishment.  I have one question for David Thomson and his Globe. When is enough blood money enough enough blood money??? When does the greedy feeling subside David? When the corpses are piled high? Or Would it be when we put you in jail???

****************************************************************************************************

 I have written before that Herr Harper is mentally ill. He is a Sociopath who suffers from UPC [ an Undeveloped Prefrontal Cortex ]. This relates to an undeveloped Societal Nodule, an area of the human brain [ on the left side between the eye and the ear ] which makes us what we are to – day, social animals. Beings who have a need to join together within a society and work for the betterment of all. Some even put effort into building a better society for tomorrow. One they will never themselves live to see. I believe this is an inner drive to see that their children have an easier time of things. This Societal Nodule has always been with us as Homo Sapiens and is the reason we have formed into larger groups over the centuries [ from 8000 BC on / the advent of agriculture ]. This joining together had many advantages, strength in numbers  and a realization that working as a unit we can produces better results than going solo. I believe UPC sufferers like Harper and Conrad Black have always been with us but over time their numbers would have been small [  in ancient times ].  I think UPC is inherited. Conrad has an errant son Johnathan who is completely irresponsible. I would suspect UPC. Like father like son.  Anyone who wouldn’t do their share back 10,000 years ago would be thrown out of the cave and banished to starve in the wilderness. If an individual stole his neighbours food his days would be numbered.  Only since the American Revolutionary War have we seen the proliferation of UPC sufferers, branded as Sociopaths in the 1970s. From the time of the US founding fathers there developed a special class of so called exceptional people. It was decided by Congressional leaders that when gifted MEN [ as in not women ] appeared on the scene their way should be smoothed. Having to appeal to voters for support and recognition in order  to climb the ladder of success was obviously a waste of a talented man’s time [ note MEN ]. While this may have made sense in 1800, it has caused considerable problems ever since. Just who would actually get to chose the exceptional persons?  The people already in the exceptional ranks?  Is it legit if an exceptional person is given a get-out-of-jail-free card based on the opinions of a few of his friends?  With this odd idea of special people existing were not the important Americans beginning to mess with their own  democracy? This exceptional person designation certainly did. In fact it has brought the USA to its’ knee [ 2008 / 09 ]. I posed this question in an earlier post. If an exceptional person was elevated by his fellows, those who recognized greatness, well okay. But when the said exceptional person died that should be the end of the line. Right?  But that is not how it has worked out. The sons of exceptional people became by virtue of their birth exceptional people too. This transfer of greatness was then bestowed upon young men who were not even close to being great. Some were village idiots.  Georgie Bush Jr. comes to mind. His grandfather Prescott [ Repub. ]  got rich laundering money for Hitler [ exceptional ? ]. While Americans were dying in Europe and in the Pacific  Presott Bush’s Union Banking Corporation was seized by the US Government [ FDR ] under the Trading with the Enemy Act [ 1942 ]. This exceptional people cadre made major incursions in the States from 1850 onward. There had been rich families before but by the middle of the century they began to form alliances. A clear sign of trouble to come. This gave them increased power outside Congress. Very Sociopathic.  The  exceptional people got smacked down by Teddy Roosevelt [ Pres. 1901 / 1909 ] who set out to curtail the big corporations like Standard Oil  [now EXXON ] and the robber barons.  During the Great War Woodrow Wilson [ Pres. 1913 / 1921 ], a Democrat, held the EX people at bay by passing numerous laws to restrict corporate / rich power. Taft and Roosevelt had split the Republican Party in the 1912 election. As a result the exceptional people and the big corporations joined forces. And they moved to the right. It was the beginnings of the present Republican Party whose moto was and is, ” If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying “. From the very start the Repubs were an anti democratic organization.  From day one it was populated by thousands of Sociopaths, corporate sharks and some of the selfish rich. That is why the Republicans sided with Hitler.  While having been born into a democratic society these Sociopaths were not of that society and sided with the Fascists. They saw the opportunity to feed off the masses and prosper by any means possible. They indeed saw themselves as an exceptional lot.  The other governing factor on the right was the rise of the Nietsche myth. Friedrich Nietzsche was a construct of his sister Elisabeth Nietzsche – Forster, an anti semitic and a German nationalist. Liz turned her mad brother into her meal ticket. Fred’s writings were altered, scraps of scribblings were turned into books, letters to others were forged, letters were altered or destroyed.  Liz went so far as to coach Fred’s old friends from University as to how to remember her brother. The outcome was a body of work which was made to appealed to the German right, much of it made up on purpose.  Hitler loved Nietzsche, the master race and all that important stuff. In 1907 H. L . Mencken [ 1880 / 1956 ] translated what he thought was the literary output of Friedrich but got Elisabeth’s pro German printed  propaganda instead. When Mencken began work on what he thought was Nietzsche’s output he was only 25 and wet behind the ears really. A cub reporter. The material he worked with was in fact the recreation of the writings of a lunatic who had not put pen to paper in 20 years. Mencken was a wimp who found Nietzsche’s ideas as presented by Liz very attractive. Friedrich, very early on had divided the people into Ubermen [ a few exceptional people running the show] and the Untermensch [ the mob ] who were supposed to do all the heavy lifting. Nietzsche obviously thought of himself as an exceptonal person. He had decided he was. As well he had no use for democracy. One reason, he had never lived in a democratic state. So he had no experience.  He liked authoritarian rule as long as he was in league with the few exceptional people barking the orders. You know, those who decided whether the individual Untermenschs go to the left or go to the right. The US has always been home to a large German minority.  Mencken  was of German descent and thought that the bulk of the American people were dolts. He said so many times. I find Mencken’s position strange as I do that of Preston Manning here in Canada.  H. L. lived in a democracy and prospered from it yet he lived for the day when the exceptional people would take over.  And the majority, the little people would move into their rightful place at the bottom. Mencken’s articles in papers / magazines and his books were dedicated to regime change. I don’t know if H. L. thought through the consequences of his ideas. Sociopaths have no insight.  If the exceptional people take over as they wish.  Isn’t that just another form of tyranny?   Mencken supported Germany in the Great War and was sympathetic to Hitler, as was Georgie Bush Jr.’s grandfather.  Mencken added a bit of his own stuff  to his so called Nietzsche translations. Let’s go back.  Nietzsche plagiarized earlier German philosophers.  His scribblings were often  recorded by his friend Heinrich Koselitz a wannabe philosopher. Friedrich called his friend Peter Gast to coverup the younger man’s involvement. At times Nietzsche could not even write so Heinrich took dictation.  5 years after Nietzsche was declared mad and put in the nut house, his sister Elisabeth showed up, fresh from South America. Liz bought the rights to her brother’s literary output from their mother. The problem was that Koselitz had possession of much of what was supposed to be Fred’s writings. Liz got some money from her late husband’s friends to set up a Nietzsche Museum. Koselitz was invited to help set up the museum so long as he brought along the files on Fred. Once Koselitz handed over the material he got pitched out on his keister by Liz. Herr Hartper does the same thing. So what Mencken ended up reading was Nietzsche’s interpretation of earlier academics.  As seen by Koselitz.  As reorganized by Elisabeth.  Then cherry picked by H. L.   Mencken.  He massaged  the mythic Nietzsche into something that was saleble to the American right wing movement . So began 100 years of crafting a bogus Netzsche by thousands of writers in the Republican Party to suit their Sociopathic bent. Exceptional Americans, the right, the rich and the Republicans over the years have very much liked what they read.  Especlally the part about the Uberman and the Untermensch.  H. L. had found his life’s work. There was however a shift in the exceptional persons approach. Someone else didn’t have to anoint you, You could / can just anointed yourself as exceptional like Harper, Black, Manning Flanagan, Poilievre and jenni Byrne.  All of a sudden, every wimp / Sociopath in the USA / Canada could / can self proclaim and join the club [ like the Civitas society, a private Fascist club ]. These misfits and wimps who had been left out of society had finally found a home. They could prove themselves and draw comfort by bullying the little people. After all we should know our place as lady Black would say.  Mencken introduced Ayn Rand [ 1905 / 1982 ] to the possibilities of trading on HER studies and knowledge of the Nietzsche myth, this in 1925.  Ayn was born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum in Russia and for a time supported the Communists. When the Bolsheviks began to mistreat the Jews, Ayn came to America where she found a place as a second rate writer. Mencken showed Ayn the way. She was soon turning out right wing Nietzsche copy for the  exceptional people. Those on the right didn’t / don’t care much about the quality of their reading as long as it was / is faithful to RIGHT WING THINK.  Canadian newspapers are overrun by right wing think. It is without doubt lousy journalism.  But as long as the copy relates to the Ubermen myth and that the rest of the population as a mongrel mob [ Untermensch ] to be fooled and misled consistently it is food and drink to the righties. The Republicans came to power in the 1920s and allowed the oil companies to once again form a monopoly although such a monopoly is illegal in the USA and Canada. Calvin Coolidge and his Republican Congress began removing Roosevelt / Wilson’s restrictions,  to unfetter business and release the exceptional people.  This move was meant to free them from our clutches and prosperity for all would follow [ their prosperity ]. To Coolidge, small Government was good Government.  As such the powerful people, the rich people and the exceptional people unencumbered would make America rich.  But they were the ones who got rich.  Coolidge, the Republicans and the exceptional people brought us  the world the stock market crash of 1929. FDR came to power in 1932 and began enacting various laws to rein in the exceptional people as Roosevelt / Wilson had done earlier. One major piece of FDR Legislation, among many was the Glass / Steagall Act  [ Sen. Glass, Dem. / Rep. Steagall, Dem. ]  which cut the ability of the Wall St. sharks to mess with taxpayer’s bank deposits and it imposed restrictions on the stock market. Did you know that there are 4 times as many Sociopaths on Wall St., in banks and in politics than in the US general population. FDR’s laws lasted for 50 years and nutured prosperity in the States. All during those years the Republican / exceptional people chafed. And the US middle class grew. Vast amounts of money were spent by the Repubs. to undermine FDR and his efforts to pull the Country out of the slump caused by Coolidge and his Congress.  During the late 1930s the Repubs. took Nazi money to keep America out of the coming war. Hitler promised the Republicans control and his support once all of Europe was under his thumbs. However Adolf was working on an A Bomb and adapting it to the V2. Of interest is the fact that the Nazis were developing a giant submarine to deliver V2s to the US seaboard once Europe was his. The Republicans / Sociopaths have no insight. The Fuhrer promised King Edward the VIII the same kind of deal. He would become the puppet King of England.  With the attack on Pearl Harbour the exceptional people went into hiding immediatley but continued to try to derail FDR [ as the Repubs. are now doing to Obama ] [ The Repubs. say to – day, if we can’t have America then no one shall ].  One of the characteristics of Sociopaths is that they never learn from their mistakes. They keep on doing the same stupid things over and over but expect a different result. FDR / Democratic measures were fully entrenched after WW II and the American middle class prospered. The exceptional people suffered  some loss of control and a reduction in how much of the financial pie they could steal. The right however never gave up because they knew they were right. Nietzsche was their patron.  The Exceptional people set up a base at the University of Chicago to promote Calvin Coolidge economics and the Nietzsche myth.  In the shadow of Chicago U the right began to brainwash Americans about the advantages of a free market, smaller Government, unrestricted stock activity, hobbled unions and lower business taxes [ even no taxes at all ].  The University of Chicago press became the centre of subversion in the USA. Their press, funded by the exceptional people was used to publish books, pamphlets and economic reports pushing the view of the right. Many of these publications were termed best sellers.  Bullshit. This material was distribute to all the libraries in the US free of charge.  Not satisfied with this level of propaganda coverage a group outside the University of Chicago but operating in one of their back rooms [ nicknamed the Chicago School ] decided to use a loophole in American law to set up right wing think tanks and call them educational organizations. These right wing fronts could then dishonestly claim charity status and give them access to tax dollars. This dodge is only allowed in the US and Canada.  So the American general public ended up funding the very group that was / is promoting the end of democracy. Canada then  followed suit about ten year later at the University of Calgary. From the copycat Calgary School [ not an official part of the University ] duplicate right wing think tank charities were set up. I am sure you will recognize these phony Institutions, Fraser, C. D. Howe, Preston Manning, Canada West,  Montreal, Macdonald – Laurier and others.  Calgary U is funded by the American oil monopoly and is the centre of subversion in Canada. The University played a part in the theft of the 2011 election in which Lyin Steve got a slim majority of ten seats which has now disappeared.  In the States the exceptional people began to invest in TV networks and newspaper.  By 1975 about 70% of the revenue stream going to the media was from advertising.   There was a coming together of various forces that set the USA on its’ downward slide. The rich right, Republicans, exceptional people joined with their $ media friends to begin to fashion the America we see to – day. The domination by the Ubermen [ possibly 10 million Sociopaths ] and the plight of the more than 300 million Untermenschs. Front man, Ronald Reagan, a grade B actor, came to office supported by the right wing media. The Republicans were ecstatic. Now they could wipe away all of the laws and legislation put in place by Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR and the Democrats. Like Harper is doing away with everything that smacks of the Liberal  brand here.   Much of the support for the Republicans came / comes from the American oil monopoly. The final protection against the onslaught of  the greed of the  exceptional people was the repeal of the Glass / Steagall Act in 1999. From that time onward US citizens were no longer financially safe. It took Coolidge / Republicans 8 years to orchestrate the Great Depression [ 1929 ]. It took Georgie Bush Jr. / Republicans 8 years to do a repeat performance and bring America’s economy to its’ knees once again. It is interesting that the right wing measures that Coolidge introduced in the 1920s and didn’t work were tried yet again by Bush, 2000 to 2008. And do you know what? These same measures were tried by Mike Harris in Ontario and they were a disaster. And do you know what? Tim Hudak is selling the very same snake oil to- day. Do you know what? The Province in now in the 3rd world category.  With Hudak we will make it to tier FOUR.  Right now we are on a Sociopathic merry go round. The exceptional people, in pursuit  of the Nietzsche myth have destroyed the economy of the USA and are now doing a number on Canada. In terms of our young people always moving upward. They are now stalled or even going backward. They can’t  look forward to an easier time in the future, thanks to the American oil monopoly, the Republicans and the Harper Fascists. Most of Herr Harper’s followers do not have children. Of huge danger to any society are people like Harper and his gang of misfits.  Most of them are sociopaths who have never had real jobs in their lives. Many are from the ranks of wimps in the Harper Youth.  Steve and his Fascist Party live off the fat of the land.  Where do you think Duffy and Wallin learned their craft.  Being exceptional people, they think It is due them. After all they are self appointed and part of the cult of Nietzsche. They are entitled to their entitlements.   Lyin Steve is joined in this hallowed circle above the laws of the land by Conrad Black, Pierre Poilievre, Gwyn Morgan and Neil Reynolds among others. All being wimps, they need some kind of opponent who doesn’t fight back, this to prove their manhood. And all chose to battle our democracy and its’ laws. Democracy means Government. And Government means the citizens. That mob of little folk, the majority that  is most feared by the exceptional people. As long as we have the vote they can’t control us. So they will cheat us out of our Country like Bush Jr. did Stateside.  Black stole other people’s money because he viewed them as patsies, as are all of the little people to the Conman and Barb. Poilievre has chosen Canada as his opponent. Pierre never had a real job in his life, much like Steve.  Backed by unlimited US oil monopoly money Harper and Poilievre are tearing off chunks of our democracy without meaningful opposition. If you read Gwyn Morgan’s bio on the net it would seem this man has made himself rich by taking advantage of every loophole in the law and sometimes outside it. Gwyn and his wife live in a mansion in BC thanks to taking everything Canada has to give and giving nothing back. Except a gift of a mill to the Fraser Institute. An organization that stands on guard for the Republicans. Neil Reynolds was a newspaper man who I could never fathom. I could not get a fix on where he was coming from. Neil was what I call it a very confused thinker. But his obituary in the Globe, May 22/13 helped me solve the riddle. The headline read, ” Editor fought for free speech and liberty “. In Canada ? Huh? I thought we had those things? Neil is yet another Nietzsche adherent. The Government by and of the people is the enemy of the thin ranks of exceptional people as seen by Reynolds.  In the USA it is estimated that 4% of the males and 1% of females are sociopaths. 1% of males are psychopaths. I have long held that Harper is a Sociopath but he has now crossed into Psychopathic territory by his prearranging of the killing of approx. 50 innocent victims in Megantic on behalf of his oilie employers.  It is clear that Lyin Steve is setting us up more deaths. In Britain the prison authorities imaged [ MRI ] every inmate. They found that 85% of those in jail were Sociopaths. There are 16 behaviours that identify Sociopaths. Medical investigation of the criminal mind began in 1942.  [] 1 [] Superficial charm and intelligence. [] 2 []   Absence of delusional thoughts and nervousness [ as in a cold killer with a sneaky smile ]. [] 3 []  Manipulative. [] 4 []   Unreliable.  [] 5 []   Untruthfulness and insincerity. Continual lying.   [] 6 []   Lack of remorse or shame. No empathy.  [] 7 []   Anti social behaviour.  [] 8 [] Poor judgement and a failure to learn from past experiences [ also a factor in Autism ]. [] 9 []   Never admitting to a mistake. [] 10 [] Egocentric, not capable of love. [] 11 []   Lack of insight. [] 12 []   Unresponsive to interpersonal relationships [ cold ]. [] 13 []   Univited behaviour. [] 14 []   Suicidal thoughts that are not carried out. [] 15 []   Little or no sex life. [] 16 []   No life plan. From this list we can see some of Harper’s traits. He is superficial but very intelligent. He lies continually. He says one thing and does the exact opposite just like Hitler did. He is not sincere.  He lacks remorse for his deeds.  He feels no shame after dumping his friends Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Nigel Wright. They served Himself, but like so many others they’ve been tossed aside, with their names sullied. In 1934 Hitler shot all of those who had helped him gain power. They were no longer of any use to him.  Now here is the biggie, NO INSIGHT. Sociopaths like Harper are unable to project their actions onto future events and exercise caution. Letting the pipelines / railways  carry liquified Crude Bitumen containing 1/3rd benzine without meeting strict regulations is guaranteeing innocent people will die.  By facilitating the pipeline companies, deregulating CN / CPR, gutting the environmentl laws where did Harper think he was taking the Country? By laying off Transport Canada Inspectors and allowing the pipelines and railways to police themselves it meant that the hedge fund owners on Wall St. would  always self deal. Herr Harper took us directly to Lac-Megantic. The Streeters ruined the USA with their self dealing. Now it is our turn.  In such  situations plain Canadians and Americans always lose [ even their lives ] because to-day’s Governments refuse to protect us. The reason? They have all been paid off with oil money.  Since Harper tells lies every day.  Can we expect Joe Oiliver, Gary Doer, the his trained seal MPs or the pipelines [ Russ Girling ] and railways [ Hunter Harrison ] to tell the truth? It is clear that a lot of boardrooms are run by Sociopaths.  Steve has appointed his flunkies to Transport Canada,  the Transportation Safety Board / National Energy Board specifically to lessen the load on the oil business. But this shifted the risks onto the average citizen. As Lyin Steve and Nietzsche would say, ”  THE MOB “.  By removing the environmental regulation and restrains on the American oil monopoly and the US pipelines / railways [ owned by Wall St. hedge funds ] it is clear what the outcome would be.  Dangerous tar / Zippo lighter fluid spills. There have been at least 1000 spills in the last ten years. Most were Alberta tar. this fact was not published by the press. Really nice, the $ media gets paid for NOT DOING SOMETHING. But missing in all of these spills has been one small thing. A single stray spark.  just a little spark can ignite the poisonous naptha / benzine used to thin the tar. But the clock ran out in Lac-Megantic. A single spark did killed 50 people. It would have been better in my view if the 6 tank cars on the Bow River bridge in Calgary containing pure lighter fluid [ benzine ] had blown up. The oil monopoly exectives there would have been fried instead of the innocent people in Lac-Megantic. If Enbridge gets its’ wish and begins pumping Alberta tar mixed with lighter fluid [ benzine ] through No 9, across Southern Ontario and through Toronto what would be the death toll if that pipeline ruptured and caught fire?  A broken pipe, a spark or even static electricity [ when you walk across a carpet and touch a light switch ] can cause what you saw in Lac-Megantic. Only in Toronto it would be 100 times worse. At Lac-Megantic the fire only ceased when all the tar was burned. If pipe No 9 bursted along Finch Ave. between Dufferin St. and Bathurst St. the tar / lighter fluid would burn for days as many thousands of gallons would continue to be pumped out long after the rupture. Enbridge has no way of knowing there is an Alberta tar spill. The sensors located in oil pipes don’t work with tar / lighter fluid. The quartz sand in the tar tears the sensor diaphrams to pieces. Enbridge would not be informed for hours of a spill in TO. People who have been burned to a cinder or died of asphyxiation don’t make emergency phone calls.  To make matter worse the oil monopoly toxic garbage / materials have and are been strewn across our countryside [ air / ground / water ]. The oilies have no intention of cleaning the mess up or ever paying for its’ cleanup.  Herr Harper has given the monopoly, his employers a free pass. Dispoil the landscape at your convenience says Lyin Steve.  Quite some deal. Fry as many little people as you wish. Tens of millions flow under the table to Harper and his MPs to finance their Facist cheat machine.  David Thomson, CTV and the rest of the media play along in return for cash. All the while the American oil monopoly gets to take  hundreds of billions of petroleum resources out of Canada. And what do we get in this regard? A royal screwing, that’s what. Everybody along every pipeline or railroad is at risk of being driven from their homes, gassed or incinerated. Some of you nincompoops put Lyin Steve and his Facists in office. Thanks. You should be ashamed of yourselves. In a sense the Lac -Megantic conflagration is partly your fault. Harper supporters put the right wing ideology ahead of their fellow Canadians to go along with Steve’s cheating. But one thing is constant. Republicans  / Harper’s Fascists never take any responsibility for their mistakes and the petro $ media fulfills their every wish by covering up.  In this confligration, we must make the monopoly pay up and pay big. Or WE will pay even more, forever.  If you have spine Canada will regain its’ place in the world?  If you keep on acting like jellyfish as too many of you are. Then the clanging of the concentration gate behind you and your children will be your reward. Don’t your kids and grandkids deserve better???

****************************************************************************************************

Let’s cut to the chase. The Lac – Megantic disaster was a TWO PARTER although the petro $ media won’t tell you that. The Globe and Tar and others are being paid to cover up the facts. Total load, more than 4 million gals. petroleum product. The oilies and their employee Steveie Harper are desperate to stop you from finding out that 1,400,000 gallons of  what amounts to Hi Octane Gasoline [ benzine ] fuel blew up, The remaining  3,000,000 gallons of tar burned or leaked into the lake / river, The train didn’t carry Red Hazardous Cargo Placards because the obsolete tank cars were not licenced to carry benzine / naptha [ HAZMAT ] [ hazardous materials ].  [] 1 [] FIRST concern, there was the runaway train which Harper is concentrating on. He has found his scape goat. The young of lac-Megantic be damned. If that train had been hauling orange juice there would not have been any deaths.  [] 2 [] SECOND, the cargo of liquified Crude Bitumen [ mixed with 33% Zippo lighter fluid ]. This Black Death is being pumped and railed all over Canada.  Harper and the monopoly have plans for increasing the volume of alberta tar. This is the part that is being hidden from your view. The train parked uphill from Lac -Megantic could have been too heavy for the antiquated handbrake syste. It was to be left overnight unattended. I don’t think the engineer responsible knew what was on board and that the cars weighed too much to be left on a hill?  M,M and A is a railway Company running along the edge of bankruptcy, it was cutting every corner it could. The tankers were obsolete and should not have been carrying benzine. Transport Canada was oblivious to the transportation of hazardous materials as per Harper’s wishes. It was an accident looking for a place to happen. The cargo //   OIL   \\ was one eagerly seized upon by M, M and A as a way to replace their diminishing wood business in Quebec. It is my sense that Ed Burkhardt, CEO, M, M and A  wasn’t aware of how hazardous his cargo was and that it was being illegally hauled in old tank cars. CP Rail just looked the other way and hauled this load of death clear across the Country. Every community CP Rail traverses could have been a Megantic. Each tank car carried a total of 60,000 gallons of tar slurry. 20,000 of that was naptha / benzine which is the equilavent of Hi Octane Gasoline. It was used in the B-29s over Japan.  40,000 gallons of tar / sand / trace chemicals made up the rest of the load in each tanker . It should have been  identified as Hazardous material by use of a Red Placard on each car for rail or a Red pipeline ticket. Waybills are supposed to accompany each shipment of petroleum products and describe the contents in detail. Those involved fudged the Waybills. This paperwork allows local authorities to respond to spills, derailments etc in a safe and proper manner. By not describing the contents , first reponders, firemen and the public are put at great risk. There is no point finding out a year later that the soil in the centre of Lac – Megantic is soaked to the 3 ft level with benzine ensuring another 50 people will die slow deaths. That is what Herr Harper is allowing by impeding the investigation.  As far as I can tell the pipelines / railways are ignoring the laws and hiding the makeup of these lethal cargos all over the Country and down into the States. The authorities / investigators are turning a blind eye and withholding information from the public. Those who were on site in an official capacity already know the cargo was Alberta tar mixed with benzine [ look benzine up on the net ], it is one of the deadliest chemical compounds going. It can burn you fast or kill you slow.  How much did it cost the US Oil monopoly to buy the investigators? It is called double dipping, working for the people supposedly? But all the while taking money from the US oil monopoly to ignore their duties.  It looks to me like Burkhardt was duped and is now the target of the petro $ media as per Harper’s instructions. M, M and A, in trying to escape the scapegoat label which will be used by the monopoly paid Globe and Tar etc to keep attention away from the real problem.  Burkhardt will best be served  by going bankrupt. That will suit the suits. In fact Harper and his employer the oil monopoly could be paying Burkhardt to close M, M and A’s doors.  Then no one will be resposible to pay for the cleanup.  Then the  petro $ media will spend weeks punching at a phantom. 50 people innocent people killed and nobody to blame. Neat don’t you think? Liquified Crude Bitument goes by the names tar slurry or  diluted bitument [DilBit ]. It is a mixture of raw tar, quartz sand, trace chemicals and about 33% lighter fluid [ the naptha / benzine family ]. The lighter fluid part is the dangerous part of the load and it can be in liquid form or gas off when heated. In a Coleman camp stove naptha is poured into a little tank and the pressure is pumped up. When the valve is opened you put a match to the burner and it goes whoosh just like Megantic. The naptha passes through a manifold on its’ way to the burner and is turned into a gas.  A hundred thousand Coleman stoves constituted the part of the load that incinerated 50 approx. people in Lac. Megantic. Now the soil in the centre of Lac -Megantic is soaked with benzine.  A sure sign of DilBit.  LIGHT OIL CONTAINS NO BENZINE. OIL as we know it is benign before refining. However toxic tar mixed with lighter fluid can be catastrophic. So that is why YOU are being snowed by the papers each and every day. Oil it ain’t but that is what the oilies pay them to say.    Benzine fumes are very  dangerous. And that will probably be a barrier to replacing any of the buildings in Town  because of the noxious fumes in the ground. All the soil will have to be removed to whatever depth the benzine goes.  [] / [] The Naptha / Benzine family is the lightest, most volitile petroleum liquid going. This liquid is added to Hi Octane Gasoline to increase it’s power. Naptha is used in Zippo lighters and Coleman camp stoves as stated. It can be carcinogenic. It can cause failure of the central nevous system. The Material Safety Data Sheet gives health guideline for what is considered a very hazardous material. Naptha can explode violently if it comes in contact with a spark, flame or overheated surface. Dangers include skin irritation. Ingestion can cause chemical pneumonia, severe lung damage, respiritory failure and death. Fire fighters must use full SCBA breathing apparatus to avoid health risks. In Burnaby, Kalamazoo, Mayflower and Lac-Megantic first responders were not told what they are dealng with. It was always  OIL, OIL , OIL said Pat Daniel [ of Enbridge ] and Rex Tillerson [ of EXXON ]. Joe Oiliver says it is oil. Garry Doer says it is oil, The Globe and Tar, Post and Star call it oil.  How many of these young men and women who fought the Megantic inferno will die early deaths because of  the failure of Gordon Campbell [ Burnaby ], Herr Harper [ Megantic ] and the Governors of Michigan [ Kalamazoo ] / Arkansas [ Mayflower ] to call it DilBit tar instead of OIL.  All fire residues from Naptha / Benzine must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations and must not be released into the environment. Is this being done by the Megantic cleanup crews or do they still believe it was OIL that spilled. The penetration of Naptha / Benzine into the subsoil or water should be prevented at all costs according to the laws. The benzine can migrate in all directions and permanently damage the soil well beyond the spill site. Naptha / Benzine vapours must be kept below occupational exposure and flamibility limits. All clothing used in the containment of Naptha / Benzine events must be disposed of where there is no possible ignition source. Vapours  can explode when mixed with air. Soiled clothing must not be put in a washer or dryer. Sparks could set off an explosion. The huge fireballs at Lac – Megantic were NOT CAUSED BY OIL. Oil doesn’t burn like that. As the tank cars telescoped there would have been  tearing / grinding metal which would have created plenty of sparks. The liquid Naptha /Benzine would have been ignited first and it would burn. The vapours generated would actually explode. Heat would build up from the burning tar around the tankers that had not burst. The pressure build up inside the thin skinned tank car would eventually rupture them and they would explode too and shoot Naptha / Benzine high into the sky. One by one the tanker would blow up. Eventually when the Naptha / Benzine was all consumed the tar would keep the fires going.  Harper, [ the Sociopath ] would never have give a thought ahead of time that such a tragedy could occur. Steve crafted this confligration link by chain link. His only thought was the oil monopoly’s bottom line. But isn’t that what Lyin Steve is paid for?  Stevee  remove all the impediments to the transport of killer liquified Crude Bitument by pipeline or rail strictly to increase the profits of his employer, the American oil monopoly. On April 29 / 13, in my post, I wrote about just such a confligration happening in Toronto. This in regard to the Enbridge application about Pipe  # 9  to the NEB.  This toothless tribunal is stacked with Harper cronies. The Company wants to reverse the flow on Pipeline No. 9 to carry the Black Death right across Ontario, going through the middle of Toronto.  I can just imagine the death toll and destruction here if the toxic tar / lighter fluid blew?  If No # 9 let go the oilies would be sure to kill some little kids and their grandparents this time. The Pat Daniel Company might even score some babies while they’re at it as kids and older folks would be present. Not like in Lac-Megantic where just partiers fried. Enbridge operatives are now travelling across Southern Ontario paying $ 25,000 bribes to mayors / reeves / community organizations to buy their support. Mind you after the oilies bribing Congress, Parliament and Queen’s Park why should municipal politicians and community leaders be left out of the beanfeast?  If Naptha / Benzine is carried by train the person in charge must complete the documents listing the cargo and the tank car must be placarded in Red. That placcard must be clearly visible for inspection by Transport Canada [ who on Harper’s orders check nothing but their cell phones ] under the Dangerous Goods Act. In terms of //   OIL   \\ pipelines themselves, they should not be used for Naptha / Benzine as it is a totally different product. It is much more volitile and poisonous than oil.  And the tar is laced with quartz sand which erodes the inside of the steel pipes, making them thinner. Therefore the pipelines and railways should not be able to mix Naptha / Benzine with tar and transport it unless all of the Government Regulations are met, as regards pipe [ plastc pipes that can’t be eroded by the sand and and don’t overheat ]. And double hulled rail cars. 40 year old, rusty pipelines and obsolete tank cars should be off limits to liquified Crude Bitument. The only thing those cars are good for is carrying orange juice. As well these restrictions go for the pumping / transporting of 100% Naptha / Benzine like in the case of the 6 derailed tankers on the Bow River bridge in Calgary.  Just 6 rail cars held 500,000 gallons of Naptha / Benzine.  If I had had my wish, I would have prefered to see that train blow up in a fireball and take out  downtown Calgary. Frying all those bastards in the oil office towers who bear a huge responsiblity for Lac – Megantic. Now that would be sweet justice. Everyone in the oil business knows that they are pumping / shipping tar slurry //   NOT OIL   \\. In fact when trains carrying liquified Crude Bitumen  arrive at their destination the tank cars must be heated to get the tar out.  Oh swell. Just imagine the entire Irving Atlantic refinery blowing up? Under the circumstances  complying with Transport Can. regulations as they are now written would make  it extremely expensive if not impossible for the US oil monopoly to ship raw tar.  But of  course our very own Stevie has done away with all the rules on behalf of the monopoly. Added to the fact that liquified Crude Bitument is presently being pumped / shipped through / in antiquated pipes and obsolete tank cars. This is a clear threat to the investors in tar sands companies. Are they out of their minds? No, not the smart ones,they have dumped oil stocks.  The values of tar sands companies are depressed, it is little wonder.  Why would anyone open themselves to such liability?  The Black Death, as we now know it can strike anywhere, any time. That is why oil stocks in the west are languishing. Initially, Ed Burkhart says that the M, M and A insurance would cover the Company’s damages. Burkhardt was dreaming in technicolour. The total cost is going to be in the billions and insurance companies don’t pay off when there is neglect and a willful disregard for the laws. Lying on the Waybills and not afixing Red Hazardous Goods Placards to tank cars is a crime and will mean CP will share some of the responsibility. CP, which had been cutting costs and laying off staff is owned by Wall St. hedge funds. A slap up the side of the head for CP would be mighty satisfying to me. Since the tar was not identified as a hazardous material I think the insurance companies involved will stop answering the phone. I believe the Mickey Mouse and Atlantic outfit will declare bankruptcy and escape liability.  If our Government had been truly acting on behalf of Canadians this transportation of Naptha / Benzine mixed with tar would never have taken place.  The oil monopoly is transporting  this  hazardous / lethal material behind the backs of Canadians with the full participation of the petro $ media. All the insiders in Ottawa  know the game  that is being played here.  Joe Oiliver was fully aware of the dangers before the Lac – Megantic blow up and the extent of the law breaking by those involved.  Both Joe and Steve are now in hiding.  Tom Mulcair was right on the money. What happened was that Herr Harper just removed all the regulations and HE HIMSELF let’r rip. Or let her blow might be a better way of putting it. And one million, four hundred and sixty thousand gallons of  Naptha / Benzine blew up in the little Town of Lac – Megantic.  The US oil monopoly, the pipelines, the railways are hard at work endangering hundreds of thousands of Canadians by claiming that they are just  transporting //   OIL   \\. This  //   OIL   \\ message is carried to the public by the petro $ media in return for millions in bribes in the form of advertising. It is a message that AGAIN is being repeated over and over hundreds of times. Everyone involved should be in jail. This is modern brain washing is in the Goebbel’s mode.  This //   OIL THINGY   \\ is on display particularly in the National Post and the Globe and Tar. In the last couple of days a new lie has emerged. As if to make sure Lac – Megantic is never connected to Fort McMurray tar in the minds of the citizenry the press is now saying that the contents that exploded in the Town was light oil from the Bakken field in North Dakota. IT IS AN OUT AND OUT LIE. This Bakken oil field nonsense is being repeated incessently  by those 20 year old unpaid intern writers who the media is abusing. One junior / starving scribe even mentioned Bakken twice. I am sure Paul Godfrey gave her an extra muffin. The only problem with that story is US  law prohibits the export of real OIL beyond its’ borders. But this shows the arrogance of the American oil monopoly, it is actually  admitting via the media that it is breaking American laws. In this case it is more important to hide the fact that what blew in Megantic was Alberta tar. This shows me that the  monopoly doesn’t have to fear anything because Republicans in Congress and the Facists in our House of Commons have been bought off by the oilies. Each one of  Herr Harper’s MPs has a fat oil money bank account which will be used to steal the next election.  The monopoly has no respect for the intelligence of Canadians. The monopoly tells endless lies through CAPP and the $ media, the veracity of which is easily checked on the net. The oil monopoly has taken a page from the Republicans play book. Basically that the bulk of you are just like your American cousins, merely part of the mongrel mob.  Although the voters are the majority.  H. L Menken, the darling of the right said something like, ” All governments of the people are conspiracies against the superior mind. Who decides if someone is superior like Pierre ” Skippy ” Poilievre. Being that Skippy is a certifiable wimp, Pierre, a product of Calgary U is allow to elevate himself on his very own say so according to the creators of the Nitzsche Myth Cult. Whether we are or are not an unruly mob that needs taming, that is not for the elites to decide., If the Black Death continues to be transported around the countryside by the American oil monopoly, that endangered mob could get very nasty. I suggest we get very nasty quickly. There will be many more people fried like at Lac – Megantic  if the transport of tar is not stopped. But if you are more savvy than Harper and the oil monopoly gives you credit for then the deaths from the black death will end here and now?  What will it be?  Your very important call? Lives are depending on you.

****************************************************************************************************

Let’s go back in time to see just how we ended up with 50 people dead in Lac -Megantic.  I am a Progressive Conservative with emphasis on Progressive. Both my Federal and Ontario Parties have been taken over by the American oil monopoly funded Fascists. Let’s return to 2000, during the second mandate of Mike Harris, he threatened  to sell Ontario Hydro to Bay St.,  PC insiders and ENRON. I was and had been a minor PC Party functionary in Pickering [ starting in 1960 under Leslie Frost ]. Mike said sell O H, I suggested,  fix it. After discussions Mike ignored me and listened rather to the PC Party, [ currently run by Harper ] machine which  has Tim Hudk as its’ puppet leader. The sale initiative proceeded. As I walked away from Harris and the PCs my parting shot to Mike was, ” sell Ontario Hydro and you will lose the next election, fix it and you will win a third term “.  As you know the PCs were turfed by McGuinty and have never regained power since that time.  I also warned King Dalt, early in his first mandate  that the high cost of nuclear KWs was the elephant in the room. Although I am a PC I offered to help the Liberals in this regard, no dice said Dalt. McGuinty was bent on using our electrical system to enrich his own  friends as Harris had done before him. I wrote to McGuint [ 2004 ], saying, that if the electricity problem was not  addressed, it would be his downfall too. Now McGuinty, the nukies best friend has paid the price. The Dalt is now in hiding, he’s as reviled as Mike Harris.  With Tim Hudak as leader, the PCs will be in the wilderness for a long time to come. The people of this Province had their fill of Harrisisms.   Thus my interest in Ontario Hydro was whetted back in 2000 and so I began doing research on same. I now know more about electrical generation / transmission in a general sense than anyone in Canada. But those in control and in the $ media do not want to hear about me or my ideas or any other innovators for that matter.  Any proposals for a new KW system which puts the ratepayers needs above corporate interests and greed will never see the light of day in the present Ottawa / Queen’s Park environment nor in the right wing press. Innovation has actually been cancelled for the  foreseeable future and will remain so unless YOU the voters wake up from your slumbers. I have a strong feeling that even to-day there are Canadians who would march to the cattle cars without ever asking any questions. It is called docility or indifference. It is a part of human nature in some to believe anything  they are told. They wait and hope for the best. Some people can be led around by the rings in their noses.  Just look at the Germans from 1930 to 1945 and that practise is still the case to -day.  Harper seems to have found some similarly flawed people here in Canada who are quite happy to be led around by their noses. If you remember Mike Harris, he had accumulated a $ 3.5 hidden debt. A story that has been buried by the Harper press. Right wingers always like to tell us that they know what they are doing economywise. They don’t.  Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan prove my point.  Mike Harris was no economist, nor is Lyin Steve. When mistakes occur the right wing just buries the wreckage or blames someone else.  Harris leased out # 407 to cover HIS hidden debt and was about to sell off Ontario Hydro for the same reason. But thank heavens, the Courts ruled against an Ont. Hydro sale. So smart old right winger Mike got all the bad publicity for the planned sale of Ont. Hydro which caused the demise of the PCs. But he never ended up getting any of money. And ONTARIANS just barely missed having their ENRON moment. Both Harris and ENRON were soon in the history books. The sale of Ont. Hydro shows Harris’ gross  incompetence and lack of political savvy. No insight.  Little wonder that the Province faltered under Mike’s thumb. I suggested to John Tory that he fix our electrical system and win the Premiership.  John, it turns out was rather slow on the uptake. Tory lost his Blackberry for a time. He ignored the electrical elephant in the room and lost. I was going to advise Tim Hudak to fix the electrical system and become Preem. But concluded Tim was even slower than Mike or John. I decided not to waste my time.  Sociopaths Republicans / Can. Fascists have no insight and the KW situation is a good example. Mike’s # 407 lease was flawed and has cost Ontarians billions. # 407 is now a highway for the rich, who can deduct the cost of its’ use as a business expense. Thus the money comes directly out of the pockets of Babs Black’s little people. Heads the rich win, tails, the little people lose. Years ago it was revealed that the # 407 agreement had more holes in it than swiss cheese. I am not surprised, Mike needed the money, like immediately. As a businessman I tried to avoid making deals from a position of weakness. Harris did exactly that. He gave away the store and on top of that even agreed to have the Government play the mob role of collecting # 407 accounts. Drivers are muscled to pay by MPPs who act more like sheep.  # 407 drivers stand convicted and must pay without a hearing. The Magna Carta did away with this kind of stuff in 1215.  How many other governments abuse the rights of the citizens by stong arming them for money on behalf of a private corporation? Dictators do that. This # 407 thuggery has to stop.  McGuinty was in a position to cancel the # 407 deal and take back the highway on the basis of an agreement which is not in the best interest of Ontarians.  Devious Dalt, the crook who would be  Premier, refused to expropriate # 407  because his friends and the Liberal party machine were / are making too much money working with the bandits who operate # 407. Dalt just replaced Mike at the # 407 graft payout wicket. Eventually Ontarians are going to have to buck up their courage and take # 407 back.  Now # 401 across the top of Toronto is poisoning the City with carbon monoxide when packed with cars / transport trucks.  David McKeown, Medical Officer of Health refuses to act on carbon monoxide question. My research says the level of CO in the Toronto core goes beyond the safe limit.  But the City Council, being true to Jane Jacobs, cares little about Torontonians suffering ill health or even death from the Gridlock they have engineered.  We need to have carbon monoxide testing done all across # 401 and at key locations in the City.  Dave however is more interested in grand standing than protecting the health of Torontonians. But in the end # 407 will have to come back into public ownership.

*****************************************************************************************************

Once I dumped Mike Harris and the what has become the Fascist PC party in Ontario I took up a study of this Province’s electrical system. I always had a soft  spot for Ontario Hydro and its’ harnessing of our vast water resources. Water was cheap, clean, unlimited and this resource belong to the people.  Water made us what we are and success reigned until 1975 when the nukies took over. Nuclear power has destroyed Ontario’s economy and relegated us to have-not-status. The nukies have been and are continuing to bleed us white and PC / Liberal MPPs close their eyes. We still have enough hydro electric capacity [ both installed and potential ] to power Ontario without any nuclear, coal or gas plants at all. In fact we have more water power than Manitoba and Quebec put together. But you wouldn’t know it. The story of this Province’s water resources has been tucked away on the shelf by the nukie insiders, well out of our view.  The $ media was / is paid to keep silent on the existence of this clean / cheap KW resourse. Much thanks to the Toronto Star, PCs and Liberal insiders who get far too many benefits from the nukies to ever allow the use of OUR God given resourse, water, WHICH THE PEOPLE OWN. This huge hydro potential has been hidden from the citizens here for 40 years. This, because the papers, particularly the Toronto Star were /are paid big money to mislead us. And John Honderich is still taking nukie money and trying to fool YOU. After the War, Ottawa wanted to find peaceful uses for uranium. We had mines at Bancroft and Elliot Lake and nuclear was cutting edge technology that offered jobs.  But the Feds and AEC needed a guinea pig to work out all the bugs, pay some of the bills and serve as a show case for the new nuclear technology. Ontario was chosen to serve the nukies’ interests. Quebec refused [ a very wise move ].  Premier Frost was taken in by Ottawa and AEC with promises that were impossible to keep. Leslie Frost was lied to and the nukie lies have never stopped coming over 40 years. In the end Ontarians were / are left holding the bag with electricity rates 3 times that of surrounding jurisdictions. Business, manufacturing , mining and forestry jobs have gone elsewhere . Queen’s Park and the nukies will not let YOU escape bondage until they have taken your very last sou. The actual end cost of KWs to Ont. ratepayers was never of interest to the nukies. They were into doing experiments all along to prove their nuclear theories. Ontarians were just around to sign the cheques and keep their mouths shut. No two CANDU plants are alike. Each is a one off.  Each new plant, is yet another expensive experiment. There has never been a truly successful CANDU system built. With each new nuke that pooped out the cry was wait till next time. And by the by, for the next generation model the nukies say, we are going to need some more money. And Queen’s Park has always given it to them, no questions asked. The nukies have never found a way to generate electricity too cheap to meter as they promised. However  they have found a way to generate nuclear electricity too expensive to buy.  But still Queen’s Park holds the citizens here in servitude with the Toronto Star’s help. Many of you voted for the now disappeared / disgraced  McGuinty. Imagine people voting for self poverty, bad times and no future for their children. And yet that Liberal Party machine was still in full swing during these current By-Elections. When I was doing early research on electricty I didn’t have a computer, no net. I relied on the Whitby Library and the Inter-Library Loan system. I even got books from the Library in Parliament. Then I began to puzzle over the nuclear coverage in  the Toronto Star? It didn’t sound right. The Paper’s nukie copy had a phony ring to it. By  the time my KW investigations began I had had a 50 years history with my beloved Star. First as a carrier [ 1947 / 1952 ] with a route of 150 Papers. Then as a customer. The Star was the only paper I read for all those years. As I got up to speed on Ontario’s electrical system I became aware that the nuclear content in the Star was not quite Kosher. I began writing to reporters and eventually to the editor at the Star with the correct information. I got nowhere. The nukie misinformation continued and continued and continues to this day. What you read about nuclear in the Star TO-DAY IS ALL LIES. Eventually I was writing to Rob Prichard, CEO of the Star. You are familiar with Prichard who is a three time loser. He and his Bay St. pals halved the Professor’s pension fund at the U of T. Rob was asked to leave the University. He took over the Star and proceeded to load the Paper with more than $ 500 million in debt. No doubt Rob and his friends benefited.  Because of this debt the Star’s days are numbered. Honderich is heading for oblivion which gives me much joy. The Paper’s Board of Directors gave Rob $ 9 million to go away but by then it was too late. Prichard he had driven a stake into the Paper’s heart.  John Honderich’s poor Star is on life support. Then McGuinty installed Rob Prichard at Metrolinx to facilitate the shoveling of taxpayer’s dollars into the pockets of devious Dalt’s friends and the Liberal Party machine. Rob is still hard at work passing out your money to Liberal insiders. His main talent seems to be giving away other people’s money and keeping some for himself. That is why Torontonians WILL NEVER SEE THE END OF GRIDLOCK AND NEVER SEE A WORKING PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSYEM UNTIL PRICHARD IS THROWN UNDER A SUBWAY CAR. Rob is planning a Union Station / Pearson rail link for the rich, to be paid for by Babs Black’s  little people. Prichard’s Eglinton subway is an underground track from noplace to nowhere.  However it will allow developers to buy up cheap Eglinton Ave. frontage from end to end upon which to build condos. The developers are in on Prichard’s deal but the little people are not. The rich will have their own private subway all the way downtown. Now there are plans for a subway in Scarborough, again for the affluent. Prichard is making us look like suckers. And if we fall for Rob’s pitch we will prove him right. In terms of the Scarb. subway, the working people in Malvern have been forgotten once again. My letter writing to the Star about the nukie lies yielded ziltch result even though I often sent copies of technical data to prove what the Paper was printing was false, pure nukie propaganda. Prichard actually called me on the phone about my anti nuclear letters but we agreed to disagree. The Star never missed a chance to accept a cheque for writing stuff right out of the nuclear handbook. It took me a very long time to come to grips with this unsettling situation. About a very old friend who continually lied /  lies and who took / takes money under the table. And here I thought the Atkinson Principles really meant something. You know those very Principles which John Honderich doesn’t honour and yet is always spouting off about. SO WHAT IS MY TAKE AWAY   ?  If the vaunted Star can take cash from advertisers to lie and make up the news then every newspaper in North America is capable of taking money to tell lies. I arrived at this conclusion some years ago and the fact that the  media puts money ahead of the truth. Over the years this has forewarned me.  In EVERY CASE where the public is being screwed you will find the local $ media deeply involved in facilitating the screwing and being paid to lie to YOU.  Now right before your eyes there is a massive  coverup in regards to the Alberta tar / lighter mix that killed 50 people in Lac-Megantic. And the destruction of the Town which will probably never rise again if things go as the American oil monopoly / Sicko Harper wish. The oil monopoly causes   towns / rural areas to disappear into which they have spill Alberta tar. Now the lying has caused 50 deaths. This Megantic affair speaks loudly as to just how far the petro $ media is prepared to go in printing / broadcasting US oil monopoly talking points and propaganda. The job of closing down the media coverage of the Megantic tragedy has already started. The soil in the area of the blast is deeply saturated with lighter fluid [ benzine ]. To rehabilitate the Town all of that soil will have to be removed. But you can’t build on the replacement fill. Each and every new structure will need pilings. This cost is beyond imagining for a small Town and there will be no money from M, M and A.  And there will be little money from the oil monopoly / CP Rail if the $ media takes its’ usual cue from Lyin Steve.   Benzine and tar have leaked into the sewer system and rendered it useless. The tar will have congealed and trapped pockets of benzine. Whose poisonous fumes will seep into every nearby building.  It could cause long term health problems and even more deaths. The poor people of Lac-Megantic are still in danger and Harper and his hirlings are not protecting the little people. And with the help of the $ media Canadians are being misled. Lyin Steve is forcing the folk of Megantic to wander into the valley of the shadow of death, friendless. No different from the Jews who forced to walk friendless to the cattle cars, Steve should be jailed. This latest load of the Black Death has come mysteriously all the way from Alberta not via the Bakken oil field. It is my guess that the dangerous materials paperwork required of CP Rail for each shipment, [ by Transport Canada ] has already been doctored to erase the true origins of this load of the Alberta tar. The insiders / investigators  already know the full story of Megantic [ bitumen / lighter fluid ] but they fear losing their Harper pay cheques if they spill the beans.  And the papers like David Thomson’s Globe are not about to ask any embarrassing questions. Thomson just keep saying  //   LIGHT OIL   \\.  Just publishing one honest article about the health risks to Canadians of shipping liquified Crude Bitument all over the Country would cost Thomson’s Globe and Tar hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost advertising from the US oil monopoly. Dave obviously looks at himself in the mirror each and every morning and says, ” do I tell Canadians the truth about the dangers of Alberta tar or do I take the oilie’s money “. At least up to this day Thomson has always opted to take the cash. Canadians are second on the list.

*****************************************************************************************************

A number of years ago I became interested in the plight of California. Much in the news at the time said the State was going broke. I was hard to believe?  How?  Why?  Those 34 million people do live in a Garden of Eden don’t they? It would seem that the trigger for their economic downturn was California’s get-tough-on- pollution initiatives. Georgie Bush the Jr., the US oil monopoly, GM, Ford and other car makers decided that the State lawmakers were going too far in wanting the kids to have a chance to be normal, breath and live long lives. The American oil monopoly took the initiative. George Jr. as usual was just a bit player. Cheney the oil man pulled the strings. The monopoly recruited all OF THEIR EMPLOYEES in a scheme to elect State Republicans. The far right has always had the support of about 20% of the voters [ USA ] [ 15% in Canada ].  These are Neanderthals and Sociopaths. Sometimes that number swells a little on certain issues. Thus the only way to gain power is for the Repubs. to rig elections and cheat. That’s where Lyin Steve learned his craft.  Each oilie employee was given the $ 1000 [ approx ] max political contribution. This scheme skirted the rules. When do Sociopaths ever play by the rules? Just look at the Conman Black. This is the same dodge Dean Del Mastro, Peter Penashue and others used to steal the 2011 election here. But they need not worry Arthur Hamilton and his Bay St. law firm have a blank cheque from the American oil monopoly. I thought lawyers sworn to uphold the laws of the land. But Art Hamilton does the exact opposite but what can we expect? Herr Harperhas been ignoring Canadian laws for 30 years. Lyin Steve is also funded by unlimited oil money, a subject that I have written about many times. But the Globe and Tar and other media won’t touch that story. Harper is doing away with political party subsidies. The reason? Lying Steve is already bankrolled by the US oil monopoly under the table just like the Republicans in California. Harper, with the open ended oilie financial arrangement desn’t need subsidies. When the Liberal Leadership race was on Herr Harper changed the rules for political contributions in the middle of the game just to hamstring the Lib.  candidates. Those rules also affected his Fascist Party but Steve doesn’t care. The oilies give him all the money he needs. Harper’s riding association has $ 330,000 on account. You can become a rich man kissing the oilie rears as long as you do what you are told. Seving the oil monopoly means a man loses his freedom. Sicko Harper is a modern day quisling.  At the same time as giving under the table money to the Republican candidates,  the monopoly bought up all of the California $ media so the opposition would not have look in on the Repubs. One area of concern for the older, white voters was paying taxes to cover the cost of schooling and health care etc for blacks and Hispanics. It was and is generally thought by the right that these people are lazy bastards who have to stop relying on the hard working elites. Such comments from the right show they care little for democratic rule like Harper and Manning The righties say that the minorities should be able to climb up the ladder all by themselves and not sponge off the whites. After all most of the whites wimps have elevated themselves to a position of money, power and privilege using daddy’s money. Georgie Bush Jr. had a grandfather [ who was in Congress ] who laundered money for the Nazis in 1942. Because of oilie efforts the Republicans were able to gain control of the Cali. State House with a big helping of oil money. Various laws were passed to allow the minority on the right wing to govern. Californians thought they had a democracy and that the will of the people would prevail in the end. Wrong, wrong, wrong again. Now it doesn’t matter what the majority in that State  wants? Revolution is their only option now. Otherwise they can go whistle Dixie. Herr Harper is creating the same situation in Canada with oil money, just like the Repubs. in California . Right now  in view of the Senate scandals Stevie, like the true psychopath he is has run away again. Harper’s  distiguished mentor, Tom Flanagan, is a draft dodger who also ran, this when his Country called. Tom taught Steve well. It has been said of our soldiers, especially those who stormed the beaches of Normandy or took the Italian Town of Ortona from the German Paras,  that it is in our DNA not to run away when the bullets begin to fly. For little Stevie Harper it is the exact opposite. Even the slightest difficulty and Lyin Steve is arunning away as fast as his legs can carry him. This time he’s up in the Arctic driving his wife’s motorcycle but with training wheels. This is a real man??? I don’t see Parliament coming back till December 2013, if even  then? The activities in the House with members of the opposition hammering him with questions he can’t answer  is clearly not to Harper’s liking. I want to be clear about this. Lyin Steve keeps getting caught with his pants down by Tom Mulcair. So with the Government not sitting and the petro $ media having bought off the $ media [ not the CBC ] the only news we see will be whatever the PMO makes up.  SO WHAT IS MY TAKE AWAY   ?   That the American oil monopoly which is in deep trouble in the world oil market, will spend any amount of money to buy politicians, the $ media  and control governments. The monopoly now owns California, Ottawa and most of the North American petro $ media.  The monopoly has been quite successful in changing California from a democracy into a donkey state run by a few oil executives. Now the local Republicans merely act as errand boys. What you see in California is OUR FUTURE.  We will soon be getting that same full treatment in Ottawa. The Government is laying off civil servants and hiring public relations people to produce right wing propaganda  [ many are from the USA ]. Goebbels would be proud.  It is just a replay of the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. Harper, 25 years ago belonged to the Northern Foundation along with Preston Manning and Conrad Black. It was a white, all male organization that included some neo-nazis and white supremacists. This group was funded by oil monopoly. Herr Harper will be quite at home when his Fascist MPs begin goose stepping around Parliament Hill while giving Himself the Heil salute. His Caucus will sit quietly in the House and await word from the American oil monopoly as what their duties of the day will be. Can you imagine a sellout crowd at the Toronto Dome, all waving little Canadian flags as Herr Harper is driven around the infield in an open Rolls to shouts of the multitude?  Once the oil monopoly is fully in charge on the Hill there will no longer be a need for the $ media like  Thomson’s Globe and Tar / Godfrey’s American Post. The oilies will simply issue decrees. And I know that there are many docile Canadians who will just bow to their new masters and obey. In California all the papers supported the oilies / rich right / Republicans during the takeover. But it did not bring them good fortune and happiness. Once the newspapers there had served the oilie purposes the monopoly threw them under the bus. The LA Times went broke and the San Francisco Chronicle is hanging on by a thread, among others. The media bosses chose wrong. They bet on the wrong horse. These and other papers threw in with the oil monopoly instead of protecting the people’s interests. Possibly David Thomson and his Globe and Tar should consider the wisdom of backing Harper and his employers, the American oil monopoly. This, as opposed to the concerns of Canadians. The Globe and Tar is now telling lies about Lac-Megantic each and every day day. This is not a wise move on David’s part. Siding with the bad guys instead of the citizenry is a bad long term business decision.  Continuing to tell Globe readers that what burned in Megantic was Bakken light oil is far too easy an explanation to shoot down. Benzine is not added to light oil. The soil in the downtown area of Megantic is soaked with benzine. Diluted bitumen is tar mixed with benzine. The stuff is even in the sewers, the lake and it is migrating into the Town. This migration of Benzine will continue until the contaminated soil is REMOVED. Hiding the fact that it was Alberta tar that blew up will probaly mean the death of Megantic. An addition to those who have already died. In My opinion  Our Transportation Safety Board is finishing off its’ investigation. They already know it was DilBit that blew up and burned. Not light US Bakken oil.  But dollars to donuts Harper will keep the agencies that were set up to protect us, gagged. This, until he thinks the public has lost interest.  It has fallen to the petro $ media to put Canadians to sleep with any diversion from Alberta tar that can be dreamed up. The oilies have it all planned, Lac-Megantic will soon disappear into the mists of time as with all the others spills. Once the US oil monopoly takes control of Canada the Globe and Tar will be history, like the LA times. David will no longer be of any use to the Americans. For those like myself, the Royal Canadian Harper Police will probably rough me up too and  seize all of us troublemakers in the middle of the night. Why did you think Lyin Steve built all those new jails?  If you study the history of Hitler and the rise of the Nazis you can see Herr Harper is repeating the process. The Fuhrer was bankrolled by German industrialist who feared the unions. Lying Steve is bankrolled by the American oil monopoly. The planing to steal the 2015 Canadian election is already well under way.  Young, mindless [ UPC ], male  Canadians who are impressed by right think are now being indoctrinated by Preston Manning at his Calgary Institute for regime change. Preston gets oil money as well as running a phony charity. He too, like the Fraser Institute operates on taxpayer’s cash. Revenue Canada now operates as an arm of the PMO so Manning and the Fraser have nothing to worry about.  Rev. Can. only has its’ sights set on Harper’s political opponents and Babs Black’s little people [ the majority mongrel mob ].

*****************************************************************************************************

The City of Burnaby in BC was the scene of a Alberta tar spill 5 years ago from the Kinder Morgan pipeline which carries DilBit from Edmonton to the Pacific coast. You can go on the net and see the geyser of Black Death shooting into the sky. All it needed was a little spark to burn out Burnaby and most of east Vancouver. just like what happened at Megantic. The Kinder Morgan tar mixed with benzine was and is being shipped directly to California heavy oil refineries.  Not to Asia, as Lyin Joe Oiliver keeps telling you.  If ever one of those tankers loaded with two thirds tar and one third benzine caught fire in Barrard Inlet, Vancouver would be toast. The $ media hushed things up in return for? You guessed it, money. But Sicko Harper doesn’t care. When he was a member of the Northern Foundation its’ focus was on keeping Nelson Mandela in jail in South Africa.  Lyin Steve’s interest is in the American oil monopoly making as much money as possible. If the monopoly is not concerned about youngsters being able to breath in California why would they fret over a few Canadians croaking in Quebec?  What’s a few dead bodies got to do with making money? The petro $ media just let this Burnaby spill disappear even though 150 people were sickened by the Benzine fumes. ah yes, Benzine. And to this day the cleanup has yet to be completed. Mind the cleanup for the EXXON Valdez is still not complete after almost 25 years. EXXON was assessed $ 5 billion dollars at the time but to date has only paid $ 500 million. Ronald Reagan and the Republicans Congress let EXXON off the hook in return for political contributions. Reagan thought no Government was good Government, just like Harper. So you can see where our no Government is headed with Megantic and any future fatal Alberta tar spills. In Toronto? In Montreal?  This possibility exists, as long as Herr Harper is in driver’s seat. He’ll make sure his American oil monopoly employers prevail. The oilies have made so many business blunders of late someone has got to pay the bills. YOU. Why not those dummy Canadians who are always in the losers seat. If the Valdez had been carrying the tar and benzine mixture any little spark would have created another Hiroshima experience. As a matter of interest Rex Tillerson got the Green Cross for Safety Award from the oil industry. He was presented with this award 4 days after an EXXON pipeline destroyed a Mayflower Arka. subdivision, innundating it with Alberta tar. In terms of the spill Rex initially said he didn’t know what had happened. But did say it was //  OIL  \\ that was spilled. It was, it was  //   OIL  \\ Rex insisted. The Waybills proved it.  EXXON kept up this //   OIL  \\ nonsense for days while the petrol $ media stayed mum. Again, this time would you believe it? For more money. Then Tillerson finally admitted it was DilBit but since it was NOT  //  OIL  \\ Congress does not require EXXON to pay for the cleanup. Paying Republicans in Congress millions in bribes looks like a good investment for Rex.  This is like living with fairies in fantasyland. Keep changing the rules, always In EXXON’s advantage. Thus the company creates its’ own reality? Of  course Georgie Bush Jr. created his own reality and look where it got him and America?, A one way ticket into the wilderness.  Bush Jr. is scarcely mentioned now. What’s wrong with S. Harper creating HIS own reality? The S stands for sicko. Charles Darwin’s theory is explained by the Fascists / right as the, ” survival of the fittest “. Not true. Rather, Darwin meant that the ones who survive had / have the ABILITY TO ADAPT. If one doesn’t know what is coming down the track how does one adapt? That is the chink in the right wing’s armor. If you live in in Harperland the violent storms are not detected and as a result you get a Megantic. Which in the end has ended the shipping of Alberta Tar [ the Black Death ]. There is human nature and nature nature.  I can at the sound of thunder in the distance and being alerted to those towering anvil clouds begin to gather the kids, tidy up, take in the washing, close the car windows and put the animals away safely into the barn. That, I have the ability to do. However I am powerless in the face of that cumulonimbus monster cloud and its’ destructive forces. It is a fool like Lyin Steve who  thinks he can master a huge cloud on the scale of the thievery in the Senate. He can part the sea. The management of EXXON feels it can control such clouds just like Steve and any other happenings in the world. EXXON spends money and bend everything to its’ own liking. The Company , based entirely on its’ partnership in the illegal American oil monopoly and bribing has been able to survive the twists and turns life throws at the rest us, Babs Black’s little people. But now world events are threatening EXXON’s very foundation. The bulk of the world’s oil and gas now resides in other lands. More and more petro states are doing their own refining. The oil monopoly’s only customer base is in North America and the people here are being squeezed ever so tightly to maintain oil profits and pay for the gastly oilie business blunders. The oil monopoly created by the Republican Congress [ 1920s ] spends vast sums to deny Global Warming while the global population adapts. The monopoly spends vast sums to kill any alternative energy idea that makes itself know here between the Atlantic and the Pacific. But alternative energy options are blossoming in most other western countries. Innovation has been killed off here by the monopoly. The monopoly fears that even the smallest new idea in this regard could be the straw that breaks their camel’s back. Crucial to the monopoly controlling the agenda in North America is a subservient $ media. A press, that for money is prepared to print / broadcast the tallest of oilie lies. That Alberta Tar mixed with Benzine is really  //  OIL  \\.  But the press itself is under extreme pressure. The internet, with increasing speed is occupying their seat at the table. The papers to – day talk about the Un Inspectors going into Syria to check on the possible poison gas release on civilians. Actually, the Inspectors are already there and have fallen under sniper fire attempting to get to the site of the disaster. The mission has been halted now. Why buy a paper with news that is 2 days old. To buy a paper nowdays is to be ill informed. To buy a paper on Monday means you are finding out well after the Saturday race was run who won. And that the bet you placed on Sunday was ill advised. So the oil monopoly can no longer count on the $ media to succeed in brainwashing the citizenry. All the problems the monopoly is having piping / hauling dangerous raw Alberta tar across the countryside and endangering hundreds of thousands of little people is running afoul of an increasingly educated population in the whole of North America. The oilies are playing a foolish game. Canadians may well forget Megantic as the petro $ media is paid to execute. But that just sets up yet another Megantic somewhere else. I would suggest that when the burned bodies begin to pile up eventually Canadians will act. The monopoly’s loud campaign of lies in the media about the Tar grows fainter and fainter. Much hope is now being engendered in the USA industry that oil fracking will make the States a leading oil producer. Fracking can be seen as the ability to clean out what is left in the bottom of the pots after a community supper. Fracked oil wells have a life span of about 5 years. And more and more chemicals, electricity and fuel have to be used to extract the last little pocket of oil. Driving  chemical crud underground is poisoning  the ground water and rearranging how surface water drains. Lakes and river can just disappear. Now the citizens are facing damaged lifestyles and the increasing cost of gasoline to pay for this very activity and monopoly mistakes. How long is the public going to sit still while the monopoly picks their pockets. And at the very same time poisoning / frying  them and their children? So for the monopoly oil fracking it is just a flash in the pan. The monopoly has full control of the refining in North America so it matters little where the oil actually comes from. The monopoly has control over the end product, gas for vehicles. Consumption of gasoline in North America has dropped 20% in the last 7 years. This means there is a surplus of refinery capacity. So what does the US oil monopoly do? They are closing refineries in Canada and turning us into more of a vassal state than we already are. Our conversion to nobodies being aided and abetted by one S. Harper. This Country is being lumped in with the Untermensch Americans to create a captive market for gasoline / diesel where no competition exists [ against the law ]. But the fatal flaw in the monopoly’s approach is to push this huge captive market of over 300 milion into a position where their very lives and futures are at risk. When there are no restraints on Sociopaths like Harper or the monopoly leaders there is no limitting factor as regards their excesses. If Parliament is incapable of guaranteeing honest elections and of reining in this illegal monopoly then civil disobedience or rebellion will be the only answer. It is for this very reason monopolies were banned in the west. They allow unlimited self dealing.  In every other democracy monopolies are illegal. Except in the USA where the Republicans granted the oil companies the right to collude in return for bribe money. And by  extention the oil monopoly operates in Canada as well. Masters in our own house? Not. This bribing Congress has gone on for more than 80 years. brBribing Parliament only started 6 years ago. Old, bad olie habits are hard to break but break them we must. So in North America we are reaping what was sowed by Calvin Coolidge and the Republican Congress in the 1920s. The US oil monopoly tail wags the American dog.  But there is no reason why Canadians should play along with the oilies and go quietly to the cattle cars. We have oil, tar and natural gas. We consume same in finshed petroleum product now imported from the USA at very high prices. There are idle refineries here. Put it altogether and it spells self sufficiency. All we need now is a Government that puts Canadians FIRST.  SO WHAT IS MY TAKE AWAY   ?    To change the direction that Canada is now heading is to ban the transport of liquified Crude Bitument beyond 150 miles from the mines. The tar can be mined and refined in situ by using plentiful / cheap / clean hydro from Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. This will reduce the cost of production and cut CO2 emissions drastically. The Twin Beaver pipeline would carry refined crude oil [ as in real, benign oil, ready to turn into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, plastics ect ] across the 55th Parallel to Thompson Manitoba. From there a spur would go to Churchill Man., a deep water port, to access the world market for Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba upgraded, refinable crude oil [ not tar mixed with lighter fluid ]. The Twin Beaver would then traverse Northern Ontario and then on down to Toronto and Montreal. And eventually to the Maritimes. There would be a parallel natural gas pipeline, Alberta / Saskatchewan  to Ontario / Quebec.  Eastern clean / cheap hydro electricity from Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba would be transmitted west to Fort McMurray along the same utility corridor. Made in Canada oil, using made in Canada hydro electricity is a made in Canada solution to our energy needs. We need no longer tolerate the American oil monopoly, an illegal / rogue business. That makes money destroying peoples lives and bespoiling the landscape. when is enoug enough???  Jail Sicko Harper.

******************************************************************************************************

Three years ago an Enbridge pipeline ruptured in Kalamazoo Mich. The liquified Crude Bitumen continued to be pumped out for 17 hours [ 800,000 gals ]. The sensors on a pipeline meant for light oil get destroyed by transporting Alberta tar ladened with quartz sand. The Company didn’t know there was a leak of liquified Crude Bitumen until someone local called in.  Sensors on an oil pipeline get scoured away by the quart sand contained in unrefined bitumen. It has been estimated that if the Gateway is built it will pump 50,000 lbs of quartz sand A DAY. Talk about your 80 grit sandpaper. The sand tears away the inside of steel pipes as well. Eventually the pipes get so thin they rupture, especially at the welds. Welding out in the open countryside with cold breezes as the pipeline companies do can cause embrittlement.  Joints that are like rough glass. The sand makes micemeat out of such welds. But the $ media would never tell you that. Especially Thomson’s Globe and Tar.  Little wonder there have been at least 1000 DilBit spills in the last 10 years that nobody has heard about. All potential Megantics. The media has been paid to remain silent. Enbridge has had hundreds of spills but covered them up with the paid aid of the petro $ media. For days Pat Daniel, CEO of Enbridge, the shipper of the Black Death which was actually owned by the US oil monopoly, maintained that it was only an //  OIL  \\  spill. I saw Daniel on TV and he said just that a number of time. Pat, CEO of Enbridge was lying through his teeth but the press said nothing about the Waybills being doctored. By the way Thomson’s Globe got a full page ad [ maybe worth $ 100,000 ] showing Pat Daniel getting the 2013 Business Leader Award from the Alberta School of Business. It doesn’t seem the //   OIL  \\ community is much bothered by people’s lives being destroyed or death by benzine fumes or fires?  I must alleviate your concern for poor David Thomson doing without. Beside the Daniel ad there were at least 4 more full page ads from the oilies. It pays to wag your tail like David does when the monopoly calls.  So in the recent tar sands wars the Globe has scored at least $ 500,000 for repeating oil monopoly lies. The sole  reason? Is to FOOL you and you and you. The American oil monopoly is prepared to spend big bucks with the Globe to make you look like a sucker. This Kalamazoo spill has been buried by the media in return for cash. The story is of 550 sick residents, 18 deaths, 150 homes condemed, 53 miles of river destroyed and a cloud of Benzine gas that had an affected on people 50 miles down the valley to the southeast.  The ground is saturated with Benzine [ remember that fact ]. This was a story that was put to bed early by the greedy media in return for ad cheques from the oilies. Pat Daniel  finally  admitted that the thousands of gallons that had escaped was not //  OIL  \\  at all.  But raw Alberta tar mixed with lighter fluid. The media mogals took the money and buried Daniel’s admission. Thus few North Americans actually saw that admission that it was thousands of barrels of DilBit that spilled and destroyed the whole area. Smiling Pat never blinked.  The media did its’ job well. The ground at Kalamazoo was / is still saturated with Benzine, and more homes will be condemned and many more businesses will be shuttered due to the migration of Benzine through the water table. Those citizen who raised a stink were intimidated by Daniel.  Armed, private security guards were brought in to patrol around the homes of complainers. The media saw nothing and said nothing. But made lots of dough. Daniel quit in 2012 unexpectedly, he was pulled out of the glare of lights by Enbridge.  He had said too much and was an embarrassment. The Company threw the poor guy under the bus. But to soothe his feelings, in 2013 Pat Daniel was named BUSINESSMAN OF THE YEAR BY ALBERTANS. Did you know that 18 people who died in the Kalamazoo area since the spill were never given any consideration by the petro $ media. That’s how much the oilies in Calgary care about the people of Burnaby, Kalamazoo, Mayflower and Lac-Megantic. These disasters allow us to peek behind the curtain at the elites. Kill a few people [ Pat Daniel ], steal a little money [ Gwyn Morgan / Conrad Black ] , run away from duty and dabble in a bit of perversion [ Tom Flanagan ]. You’re still one of us they are told by the rich and powerful.  Never mind the mongrel mob [  you and I, the Untermenschs ].  The cleanup for the Kalamazoo spill is going to top a billion dollars. This doesn’t even to begin to pay for the damages to the community, future health problems, deaths and businesses lost. Now Enbridge is kicking up a stink and doesn’t want to pay any more for the cleanup. The same thing will happen in Lac-Megantic. Once the petro $ media puts this story to bed and they are all being paid to do so right now, the Town will probably never see any money. Harper offered $ 60 million. I say bullshit. My guess is that he’ll never pay up because the media NEVER, NEVER CHECKS BACK ON STEVE’S ANNOUNCED GIVE AWAYS.  Just to compare, Herr Harper gave his employer, the American oil monopoly $ 850 million for carbon capture and storage. A technique that has never been proven. C,C and S was just a cover promoted over a couple of years to allow even more toxic waste to be dumped in Alberta. Foolish Albertans. Carbon capture is a pure boondoggle. The only thing missing at Kalamazoo was the necessary spark to set off the Benzine. It would have been Lac-Megantic 50 times over.  SO WHAT IS MY TAKE AWAY   ?   It is clear that the management of all of the operations in the tar sands will start  LYING AT THE DROP OF A HAT. IT IS ALSO CLEAR THAT HARPER WILL SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE FIERY DEATHS. It is also clear that the petro $ media will print any and every lie without asking any questions or investigating. The spill of tar slurry containing 33% benzine at Kalamazoo was but a prelude to Lac-Megantic. It is interesting that US elected officials were never seen around Kalamazoo. For Washington it was hands off. The people in Michigan were abandoned by their Government and the petro $ media. They were left to fend for themselves. If the US Government had come down hard on Enbridge like a hammer in this regard Lac-Megantic would never have happened. Millions spent by the American oil monopoly was not for nothing. Republican Senators and House Members were all well and suitably bribed. They are the wimps who would be self appointed Ubermen. And who have no regard for the little people. They are all part of the master race along with Steve who are self appointed exceptional people who worship Nietzshe as their god. The Nietzsche myth only resonated in Nazi Germany and the United States of America. And now the Nietzsche disease is being spread in this Country by Harper and the University of Calgary.

*****************************************************************************************************

March 29 /13  a pipeline owned by EXXON ruptured in Mayflower, Arkansas.  Rex Tillerson lied to the media saying it was //  OIL  \\  that spilled and that he didn’t know the cause. Rex was reading from the same script used by Pat Daniel of Enbridge, Russ Girling of TransNotCanada, Rick Kinder of Kinder Morgan, Hunter Harrison of CP Rail,  Claude Mongeau of CN Rail and Joe Oiliver. They all know it is Alberta Tar that is being shipped illegally and thousands of Canadians are being put at risk. This is the same stance that EXXON took when the Valdez ran aground. Lie, lie, then delay, delay. With the spill from the Valdez it was oil. The US Government was nowhere to be found In Mayflower.  It was liquified Crude Bitumen that blackened the streets, inundated the wetlands and poisoned the water supply. To date EXXON has only paid a small amount to cover the cleanup there. So this lying about so called //   OIL  \\  and a refusal to take responsibility shows there is a pattern. Nothing but falsified documents and lies. The backing and filling by Tillerson is a required move while the petro $ media gets a chance to shut down yet another Alberta tar spill. Only after a few months and things go quiet do the real facts come out.  But by then the bribed media is well paid to never mentions such findings. It is interesting that the newspapers never mention information posted on the net.  Many days after the spill EXXON finally admitted that it was liquified Crude Bitumen that destroyed a subdivision of 25 homes in Mayflower. Did you know that 11 homes there have now been condemned. The surrounding soil is so soaked with Benzine, the fumes of which have seeped into some homes. The local sewers are filled with congealed tar and Benzine fumes. Everywhere those sewer pipes go in the Town will carry the fumes making many other houses / businesses unliveable / unusable. People returning to their homes to retrieve belongings find they can’t breath and their eyes burn. There is no electricity in the subdivision, a spark could blow an individual house up, then the rest would go boom.  State, US Government environmental officials and a local Judge are all playing footsie with EXXON. They are obviously being paid to look the other way. The Mayflower police have been hired off hours to patrol the site. But they are still wearing their uniforms and using cruisers paid for by the Town. The police are paid by the CITIZENS TO PROTECT THEM. However the police are now being paid by EXXON to screw the very people the cops are sworn to comfort and  protect.  Thus this whole subdivision which was engulfed by Alberta tar will probably have to be bulldozed. And the tar slurry mixed with Benzine leaked into the local lake affecting the Town drinking water. Rex Tillerson finally said it was DilBit that spilled after which he further said that  EXXON would NOT PAY FOR THE CLEANUP BECAUSE WHAT LEAKED WAS NOT //  OIL  \\. By maintaining they are shipping  //  OIL  \\ the monopoly, pipelines and railways avoid letting the citizenry in on the secret. Saying that it was just //  OIL  \\ allows the politicians off the hook.  It is the lighter fluid part of the raw tar slurry that is a killer and a destroyer of communities. This coverup could not have happened without the full support of the petro $ media like the Globe.  Thomson seems to make the most money from the great Alberta Tar coverup. This is quite apparent from the number of oil ads place in the Globe by the US monopoly. It is very simple, as long as Thomson keeps singing the oilie song he’ll get hundreds of thousands of dollars in full page advertisement. The people of Kalamazoo and Mayflower are getting little in the way of assistance and are being given peanuts for their ruined lives. Again, the only thing missing was a spark in Arkansa.  I keep using the terms lighter fluid, Naptha and Benzine. They are variations of the same solvent. Few people deal with Benzine or Naptha but they certainly understand when I say lighter fluid. The  Mayflower media has remained  silent.  While those in the Canadian media [ not the CBC ], like David Thomson are being paid hundreds of thousands a pop to mislead the wider population and censor the news. What you are reading in this post and my earlier ones will never appear in David’s Globe and Tar, nor the National Post. By the way Paul Godfrey is going to be the CEO of the Year. Apparently the business community loves its’ killers. It is interesting that the papers are being paid to NOT REPORT THE NEWS, as in self censorship.  Nice.  SO WHAT IS MY TAKE AWAY ?  What we have seen in Burnaby, Kalamazoo and Mayflower was  the precursor to Lac-Megantic. I waited a few days before commenting to see if things would unfold in Megantic the same way as with the other spill?. And that is exactly what has happened. CP Rail keeps insisting that the cargo was light oil from the Bakken field in ND. That is a lie which Herr Harper should have dealt with immediately. Harper and everyone in his Government, including Joe Oiliver and Gary Doer knows what blew up in Lac-Megantic was Alberta tar mixed with a 1/3rd lighter fluid. In Burnaby the spill left the soil soaked with Benzine. At Kalamazoo the soil in a large area adjacent to the river is soaked with Benzine. In Mayflower the subdivision is knee deep in Benzine. The remedy to Benzine contamination is to dig a deep hole and remove all the soil, very costly. If the Benzine is left it will migrate and contaminate an even bigger area. In the end the affected area will be like a moonscape, unihabitable. Unable to grow anything. If this keeps up the people on the moon will be able to look up at earth and see all the blighted areas caused by the DilBit spills. In Mayflower it is early days but we seem to be headed in the same direction. I think the subdivision will have to be bulldozed. I don’t think the soil will be removed as much of it is wet lands. The benzine will migrate down into the valley to the south and again after much sickness and many deaths Mayflower itself may well be abandon.  Just after the spill the FAA announced a no-fly-zone at the request of EXXON. Thus Mayflower became the newest State of the Union. The State of EXXON. Local police and private security guards strong armed anyone attempting to enter the site. The local media was bought off or threatened by EXXON. There was a public outcry about the no-fly zone and the FAA quickly retreated. No doubt FAA officials were paid off by EXXON. But in the interum EXXON had spread thousands of rolls of white paper towel over the wet lands covered with Alberta Tar so the black could not be seen from the air. This is what you get when your government  grants a monopoly to the oilies as Republican President  Calvin  Coolidge and the Republican Congress did in the 1920s. This same crowd that caused the 29 crash on Wall St. This monopoly, which exists in the US and dominates Canada is responsible for the high price of your gasoline and Harper won’t raise a finger.  In Lac-Megantic where the flattened centre of Town is knee deep in Benzine too the officials in charge already know what happened. As soon as the flames died away and the investigators could get onto the site those in charge had all the answers. By Harper not informing the first responders and clean up crews that they were dealing with liquified Crude Bitumen [ Benzine ] not light oil all of those involved were put at risk. Daniel of Enbridge did the same thing, lie, lie, lie until public interest waned. Dollars to donuts some of the Kalamazoo worker are now suffering long tem health problem, especially with their lungs. Benzine fumes can ruin one’s lungs and cause chemical pneumonia. The press has remained silent.  Tillerson of EXXON likewise did not inform first responders and cleanup people they were dealing with raw tar / lighter fluid. Again Benzine soaked the soil at Mayflower. The press has remained silent. Now the good people of Lac-Megantic and their heroic rescuers have been put at risk by Harper maintaining it was just //   OIL  \\. The centre of Lac-Megantic is saturated with Benzine. LIGHT OIL DOESN’T CONTAIN BENZINE. In Mayflower the die has been cast. The Medical Officer of Health in Arkansa has stated that anyone who develops health problems is on their own, EXXON can’t be held reponsible. I wonder how much EXXON paid him for that statement? Like I wonder how much Gary Doer is getting paid to tell lies about the Keystone project which will carry the Black Death? What the investigative officials at Lac-Megantic are doing is marking time till public interest dies out. Then the petro $ media can concentrate their sights on M, M and A, the engineer  and poor Edward Burkhardt, their chosen scapegoats. M, M and A is going to go bankrupt and that will keep readers occupied for a while.  Story after story will appear but nothing about the towering inferno caused by Alberta tar mixed with Benzine. When the coast is clear some official will quietly report, it was really tar not Baken light //  OIL  \\.  By then things will have become so confused, a confusion orchestrated by the oilies, PMO and the media.  The public will not understand that it was Herr Harper, is the person who sentenced 50 people to a fiery death. The coverup campaign now in full swing by the petro $ media will guarantee another Lac-Megantic conflagration at another time, in another place. Then there will be another. And yet another. This because Harper and his Fascists are convinced most Canadian are patsies. So far they have been proven correct. Too many Canadians keep falling for Steve’s line of bullshit, hook line and sinker.  The question is. How many patsies will have to be fried before the remaining patsies show some spine??? Hitler had his ovens.  Herr Harper has his Lac-Megantic thanks to the likes of David Thomson’s  Globe and Tar and Paul Godfrey’s American owned [ illegally ] National Postl.

*****************************************************************************************************

How do we get out of this American oil monopoly trap? And escape total servitude?  These would be my recommendations. []   1   []   Charge Stephen Harper with murder [already explained ].  []   2   []    Remove him from Office.  []   3   []   Harper’s majority after he stole the 2011 election was only 10 seats. He has now lost more than that number with MP resignations, criminal charges against MPs and other misdemeanors. He doesn’t have the Confidence of the House. Crooked MPs who tell lies don’t count in our system.  []   4   []   The NDP and the Liberals should form a Unity Government along with those who are true Progressive Conservatives like me. Not Fascists who hide behind our stolen banner. This could mirror Winston Churchill’s War Cabinet.  We too have a crisis on our hands. Simply put, the US oil monopoly needs Alberta’s raw tar to feed its’ heavy oil  refineries that are idle. These are located in Duty Free / Tax Free Zones on the Texas gulf and the California coast. Said refineries were converted to process Venezuela heavy oil about a dozen years ago. A huge, huge blunder by the oil monopoly.  Hugo Chavez put a stop to that idea by nationalizing his oil industry and raising the royalty rate to 32%.  Eat your heart out Albertans. They only get 8%. The only way to get the raw tar to the these refineries is to add lighter fluid [ naptha / benzine ] in order to thin the mix for transportation by pipeline or rail. Burnaby, Kalamazoo, Mayflower and Lac Megantic and a thousand other spill are the result. About this carnage we are never informed by the petro $ media in return for money. The victims have been the dead, the dying, the injured, those who have lost their homes and businesses. As well as communities that have been gutted. The only people who make money from this Black Death cargo are the poiticians, the American oil monopoly, the American Enbridge Corp., the American TransNotCanada Corp, the American Kinder Morgan Corp., the American CP Rail, the American CN Rail, the American National Post, the Canadian petro $ media [ Globe / Sun / Toronto star ] and others. Alberta gets 8% on the raw tar. In other words the Province get the price of the pigs tail. The monopoly makes money on the whole pig. Some business people those Albertans? In areas around Fort McMurray some of the 175 toxic tailing ponds have been breached by the recent Alberta floods. Not a word from the press.  Spilling poisonous swill into the river systems brings no punishment. It is an ecological disaster which the 8% royalty will not begin to clean up. So the US Government gets no taxes when the tar is refined in Texas or California before the resulting oil is sold overseas. In fact there is no tax on DilBit when it goes through the pipelines of EXXON, TransNotCanada, Enbridge or Kinder Morgan. In regard to spills the taxpayer’s foot the bill and will continue to do so until they grow some spine. It is such a sweet deal, no wonder the monopoly keeps Steve Harper on staff. []   5   []  The Unity Government  should ban outright the transportation of liquified Crude Bitumen beyond 150 miles from the source.  []   6   []   Transport Canada staff should be cleaned out and replaced with competent, knowledgeable people. As must the National Energy Board.  []   7   []  A new Environmental Act should be established by Parliament.  []   8   []  New pipeline and rail regulations should be established. []   9   []  The Unity Government should meet with the Provinces to give force to the National Energy Stategy wherein cheap / clean hydro electricity would be transmitted to Alberta and Saskatchewan for use in the oil /tar industry. This from Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. The only link missing in the Cross Canada Electric Grid now is between Manitoba and Saskatchewan The Twin beaver pipeline would transship refined crude oil and natural gas to the east across the 55th parallel hydro right-of-way. A spur would take finished crude oil and natural gas north to Churchill Man., a deep water port. This would give Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba petroleum products access to the world markets. The Commonwealth itself has 2.2 billion people who are now being screwed by the American oil monopoly.  The Twin Beaver lines would continue into Northern Ontario, down to Toronto, west to Windsor and east to Montreal to existing refineries to be made into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and plastics. From there the refined oil pipeline would travel to the Maritimes. There is already natural gas on the Atlantic coast in Canada. Many of the existing oil refineries in Canada have been closed by the US oil monopoly to render Canada further helpless. Those shuttered refineries should be expropriated. Tough new environmental laws might just force the monopoly to sell infrastructure cheap. In Alberta and Saskatchewan the new laws would force the monopoly to clean up all of the tailing ponds and their accumulation of toxic waste. If they failed to do so we would obviously seize their assets. Mark Carney said there is about 600 billion dollars residing in Canada looking for investment opportunities. We don’t need foreign investment and we don’t need foreigners coming in here to pick the Canadian carcass clean. This Nation is extremely blessed and well endowed. Harper has us limping along while his American friends walk out with the bulk of the booty.  In short order by tackling the liquified Crude Bitumen crisis we could as Canadians become masters in our own house. All it would require is the will of the people. We had better move soon or like the Californians we will have our democracy snatched away by the American oil monopoly. And for many the clang of the gate at the concentration camp as it close behind us will long be remembered. Life will not be an easy one under Commandant Jenni Byrne, Harper’s right hand girl. Jenni reminds me of Dorthea Binz, a bonde Nazi who ranked high at Buchenwald. She always carried a whip which she used at will. Binz was hung in May 1947 a Nuremberg. Byrne doesn’t use a whip. Our Jen prefers a Hakapik. A Hakapik looks like a surveyors hammer with a very sharp needle point. It is used to kill seals with a single blow. When Harper’s concentration camps are set up Jenni Byrne is going to be the Commandant. Wish me good luck.

*****************************************************************************************************

And finally, what can we do about Lac-Megantic. I have some ideas. The Unity Government must move temporary offices into the Town in the form of trailers. Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche and Council could decide what services are required. Premier Pauline Marois could be offered office space to house her officials. There is no way Quebecers should pay a cent toward the Town rehabilitation. The Unity Government would immediately set up an inquiry into how liquified Crude Bitumen got from Alberta to Lac-Megantic behind the backs of the people. Obviously those responsible are all lying. And should be jailed.  If the actions of those involved as well as companies are not satisfactory all of their assets should be seized and held until the completion of rehabilitation. The soil in the centre of the town is soaked with Benzine and it must be removed forthwith. All of the sewers damaged by the toxic tar have to be dug up and replaced so that benzine gas doesn’t render standing homes / businesses uninhabitable / unusable. Once the Benzine contaminated soil is removed there will be a crater in the middle of Lac-Megantic. Houses / buildings cannot be constructed on fill. The rebuild can take place on pilings. The contaminated soil should removed immediately. A plan should be drawn up for the new downtown. The necessay pilings should go in first, then the sewers and then the other services like water and electical. This part of the operation should be fully covered by the Unity Government. Once up to ground level the owners of the property would determine where they go but their costs would be borne by the Unity Government. THEY MUST BE MADE WHOLE. After all Herr Harper gave the American oil monopoly $ 850 million for Carbon Capture and Storage. That dough went right to their bottom line. The oil monopoly / CP Rail has more than enough assets in Canada that could be seized / sold to recover the cost of of restoring Lac-Megantic. Executives with the monopoly, pipelines and railways who have lied / are lying and who have broken environmental / transportation laws should face jail. I’d take great pleasure seeing them in the hoosegow with Harper. Another group that should be fined and jailed are the media owners who aided and abetted this crime. We can recover from this but it will take guts to tackle the American oil monopoly and their errand boy Lyin Steve. Or should that be Hiding Steve.

**************************************************************

Answer me one question. Where does the American oil monopoly find so many Canadians who are prepared to lie for money? But in the lying lives are put at risk. What is the forfeiture of a life worth in this Country? A few points increase in the stock value on Wall St.? The loss of innocent lives should translate into a term in jail at the least.

TORONTO TRANSIT MESS / ROB PRITCHARD * AN INCOMPETENT JERK / JONATHAN GOLDSBIE * CHRIS SELLEY * MATT GURNEY / A TRIO OF PIGMIES / CHRISTOPHER HUME AND ROYSON JAMES / TWO PYGMY BRAINS 01/02/12

If you read me often you must have gathered I don’t like the media much, especially the newspapers. See, I am real old fashioned. Truth is the glue that holds our society together and right now the right and the media are doing their best to pull apart the glued joints. I always thought that the papers were supposed to tell us what was going on, not dedicate among other things, space to that blathering Florida jailbird Conrad Black [ Post / Maclean’s ]. Every paper in the old days, had its’ own bent, right / left and so on. But the personal feelings of the editor and owner were limited to the Editorial page. Accordingly one could count on what the rest of the copy said. Now it is completely different. Reporters, journalists and interns [ low / no paid young scribes ] are hired due to the fact that they know little or nothing. Or they have learned to keep their thoughts, opinions and knowledge to themselves and write what they are told no matter how far fetched and damaging to the larger community. A pay cheque is a pay cheque after all. Canada is beset by one problem after another according to the media. It is a good way to keep the underclass off balance. Mostly the reported lawlessness and unsustainability of Medicare and our pension programs are media manufactured on behalf of the American rabid right. Peladeau’s Sun shouts nothing but crime stories particularly those involving immigrants. The Sun is a direct arm of Herr Harper’s Junta so high lighting a non existant crime wave and emphasizing  immigrant wrong doers kills two birds with one stone. Thus the Fuhrer is portrayed as being  justified in building new jails and deporting newcomers. I’d love to see the plans for his new facilities. Will they look like concentration camps??? Even electrified fences?  Will Peladeau tell us how much money he gets from Herr Harper to push this anti crime campaign? Maybe Vivian Krause of Fair Questions [ FROM THE RIGHT THAT IS ].Com could be fair for JUST ONCE and research the Harper payments to Peladeau?  Nothing is ever solved by the Setting Sun or the American National Post. They need you to be constantly upset. And not solving things is getting more expensive for Canadians with each passing day. Johnny Spears, who writes for the Star [ a supposed left wing paper profiting from hiding its’ right wingness ] and I have been sparring over our ruined  nuclear electrical system for at least 8 years. Spears  has continued to scribble nukie propaganda over that time period, never stopping to take a single breath. He regurgitates one nukie lie after another and has never falter in his task. This is a huge story, about the decline of Ontario, the once economic engine of Canada, being brought to its’ knees by nuclear excesses. And all during this time John Honderich has held the coats for the nukie cult as they drove a stake into this Province’s heart. No only did the Star help kill our economy but the money the Paper got for telling nuclear lies belonged to the ratepayer’s. WE, AS IN WE,  actually paid the nukies to destroy our economy and ruin our electrical system, very interesting.  Johnny Spears and the Star WILL NEVER GO NEAR THIS EPIC  TALE. Neither will any other journalist. Telling the truth would be career shortening.  There have been at least a gazillion lies repeated in the Star about nuclear and the lying continues to this day. So my point is. Is the Star lying about politics, transit, about gridlock, parking and Scarborough Rapid Transit etc???  Of course they are. Politicians, big business, unions, special interest groups, the Board of Trade et al do not want the truth told by the media. THEY ALL WANT TO HOLD TIGHT TO  THE STATUS QUO and they pay to have the truth NOT TOLD.  A small group of people making big bucks off our backs and preventing the fixing of our problems. Moving out bravely into a new, unknown world can be scary for the incompetent [ Robert Prichard / the $ 9 million man ] especially those from families related to the 2012 version of the Ontario Family Compact. The Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 brought  responsible Government to this Country [ being replaced now by American irresponsible Government by Harper ].  The Rebellion served to birth Canada.  But these 2012 buggie makers and carpet baggers will not let go even if it costs you and I our last penny. Surely they will have to lose out in the end? If they don’t then we lose.  But that depends on you?  Maybe ten thousand people run our Provincial show now out of a population of 14 million. They are the ubermen and the rest of us, the underclass. At this rate every one of the elites can pay someone to look after THEIR INTERESTS. If you treasure this Province, whether your’s has been here for generations or is newly arrived we had better make sure that our electrical system gets fixed. It is JOB ONE.  The written word has covered much ground over many years. Writing first appeared in Egypt in 3200 BC and the printing press is dated 1440. This encouraged people to learn to read and the information so absorbed moderated and advanced civilizations. The elites, have always tried to prevent the underclass from knowing what is going on. King George 3rd, lost the 13 colonies mainly because he tried to impose taxes without representation. The King owned the press as the movers and takers do now. George bought off Parliament much as the Libs and Cons. / PCs  have done with the House / Legislature.  George as well made the dissemination of unauthorized information punishable by death. In what would become the USA there were pamphleteers like Ben Franklin and Paul Revere. News sheets were printed in basements and barns on moveable printing presses and distributed to the hinterland soon after any British action. The rank and file Americans knew what was going on within days. The American rebels knew more about what was happening with the British than we know about our crumbling democracy to-day. If there was going to be a British raid on a rebel arms cache the news was spread quickly and all the soldiers would find is an empty building and nobody around. The information in the hands of the budding Americans defeated George and all HIS KING’S MEN.  Same thing happened on the lead up to the French Revolution. Louis 16 owned the presses but the pamphleteers owned the nights. The French revolutionaries knew Ben Franklin and took inspiration from him. Most of the peasants did not know how to read but they gathered in halls, churches and taverns to hear the latest. When the rebels stormed the Bastille, the King didn’t have a clue it was coming. The royals owned the press which had create a la la land fantasy. A land in which Louis and his court dwelt. We in this Province also dwell in La la land thanks to the media. I get the Star, Globe, Post and that outrage the Sun. I am amazed at how much lying gets into print. This cancer of printing what the politicians and the advertisers want to say, DESTROYED the USA. The American people were lied to, misinformed and purposely confused. Now that cancer is spreading to Canada. It is one thing to control the press by force as Hitler did but he went the next step and burned books. Under the Nazis the German people were told lies and served daily doses of propaganda.  There was no counter comment. Everyone who disagreed with the Fuhrer had been shot. Herr Harper is now warning that he will look upon environmentalists protesting the Gateway as terrorists. It looks like Tim Powers, Harper’s Gestapo Chief, was appointed just in time. For months now Timmy has been preparing dossiers on enemies of the state [ those  who oppose Harper ]. The private conduct of these enemies will be taken out of context and turned into attack ads. Political opponents will have their records mix mastered to paint unflattering pictures that don’t exist. Right now Alison Redford. Premier of Alberta is getting the smear treatment from the media which is now 80% right wing. It is interesting that the right / white / rich 20%  can purchase  a complete blanket to be put over provincial and Federal affairs. As was said during the inquiry into the press in England, ” who guards the guardians “? Well nobody, actually. Freedom of the press has been turned into freedom of the press to sell out to the highest bidder. Look no further than the setting Sun and the American National Post [ I am surprised that Paul Godfrey is not featuring a US flag on the Post masthead ].   What I see mostly in the newspapers, is cheap entertainment meant to divert attention [ like free bread, wine and circuses in Rome ], American propaganda, polls done by the right for the right, reports done by the Fraser, Manning, Macdonald – Laurier, C. D. Howe Institutes and Canada West  Foundation [ right wing run / taxpayer financed ], US oil cartel propaganda, spun news stories, Canadian shills like [ Gwyn Morgan / David Dodge / Vivian Krause / Bill Robson ] who are prepared to sell their Country down the river for US greenbacks and then to insert in the remaining space an odd bit of advertising. It is interesting that much of the advertising the Sun and the Post gets is from the very assemblage above. Purchasing nonsense ads buys allegience from Pierre Peladeau, Paul Godfrey, John Honderich, Phil Crawley / Thomsons and Rogers. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers [ CAPP ] runs full page ads in the papers on the importance of breathing. Shell has one called Energy 101 showing a 12 year old girl. Politicians, the oilies, the nukies and big business can’t be seen just handing money to the media bosses. So nonsense / attack ads are placed. Woe betide the journalist who would say that it is DilBit that will be going through the Keystone / TransNotCanada and Gateway / Enbridge pipes. He / she would be out of work in a flash and the offending paper would be duely warned. Any more truth and the nonsense ads will cease. Like one more slip up and the Shell advertising campaign worth $ 50,000 a week is no more. In the end YOU MY FRIEND  pay for this nonsense advertising / misinformation because the oil cartel is manipulating the supply of gasoline. High prices pay to pull the wool over your eyes.  Alberta gets $60 for a barrel of oil in Cushing USA and Easterners like me pay $ 100 a barrel for Ezra Lerant’s unethical oil from the Middle East. And where is Herr Harper pray tell? Why he is in China on a sales mission for EXXON. It is an amazing situation, a population sleep walking along, put to sleep by the media and having its’ pockets picked at the same time. The solution is to elect honest MPs and MPPs who will look after YOUR interests. Each has an office in Parliament / the Legislature and a constituency office. This is where the electeds are most vulnerable. In the House or at Queen’s Park they are herded around like sheep by the Liberal and Fascist / Conservative Party machines in the House and the machines of the Libs / PCs at Queen’s Park. This system of Party machines guarantees that YOU ARE NO LONGER FREE. Face it. Like Californians your democracy has flown the coop. Face it.  It is undemocratic to have people who were never elected deciding YOUR FATE. This is the reason transit / gridlock is causing so much trouble now and getting worse. Just look at the Liberal pretty boys and girls who control so many of the necessities of life. Electricity, garbage, fuel, transit, highways, health, education, Loto and most recently Ornge. They have been invited in by McGuinty and his machine to make like vultures, each tearing at Ontario’s carcass.  In every case those at the top are maximizing their take home pay and illegal loans while ignoring their responsibilities to the voters. The occupy movements have just begun and so far those at the top have chosen to ignore the warning signs helped by the media. I would rather see our supposedly reponsible governmental system work as it was meant to. As stated before many of the MPs /MPPs do not understand their role. Each is sovereign in his or her own riding. Collectively, if a sufficient number get together they rule the roost never mind Harper or McGuinty. If a sufficient number of Fascist / Conservative Members decide they have had enough of Harper he could be deposed [ like so many other fed up Canadians ]. I have offered to take over the Province’s electrical system and  FIX IT for 25% of what Laura Formusa gets each year. This offer has been noted in earlier posts and I KID YOU NOT, FIX IT WE CAN. We can start the repair process tomorrow if we can get 55 MPPs [ any stripe ] at Queen’s Park to form an all Party Committee to authorize the KW repair process. Let Mcguinty’s people and Hudak’s people play all the political games they want but the KW system needs work done on it, immediately. Why can’t this most crucial of issues be extracted from the games now being played by the Libs / PCs???  55 MPPs have the power to start the healing process after removing the nukie cancer. YOU have the power to make them obey YOUR WISHES. 

In terms of transit, I read the avalanche of articles on the TTC / LRT / subway problems and it is the same old same old. My file on transit goes back at least a dozen years.  Why is it that right wingers, even when they fail in their endeavours they do not learn? Putting a hand on a stove burner should cure you for life. I’ll never do that again you say. The difficulty for the underclass is that WE pay the price when the right fails. That is why the Mannings and Harpers never learn. They never pay the price for their screwups. As George Bush Jr. has never been held to account for destroying the USA. There is a disconnect here. In terms of Ontario, McGuinty’s machine is as right wing as Hudak’s machine in terms of the insiders spending all their time trying to access taxpayer’s money. In the recent Ornge scandal the former assistant director of the Ont. ambulance service introduced Dr. Mazza  to George Smitherman [ both should be jailed ]. Mazza got in the back door, was not watched and walked off with millions for the Province’s treasury. And the Liberals MPPs didn’t have a clue. The media as always was paid to misinform and confuse and the results of which we are seeing now. The Liberal MPPs were kept completely in the dark by McGuinty. These are the very MPPs YOU sent to Queen’s Park to look after YOUR INTERESTS. WERE YOUR INTERESTS LOOKED AFTER IN THE CASE OF MAZZA’S  THIEVERY AT ORNGE???  No. This kind of scam will continue whether you vote for the Libs. / PCs if the Party machine system remains in force. New MPPs should be impelled by you to assume their positions of supremecy. Collectively YOU give them that right. There is an old saying, use it or lose it. MPPs don’t use it and so have lost it for which Ontarians continue to pay a terrible price both in misgovernment and in dollars. One weak spot in the Canadian democratic system which is leading to our downfall, is the fact that the leader of a political party has to sign off on those nominated in a riding. I was going to run for MPP in Prince Edward / Hasting Riding and got involved in the nomination process. Then I discovered that I could work like hell and spend money only to have John Tory decide whether I would be the PC candidate in the Riding. WHAT? WHAT?  The local PCs could decide I was their candidate and then John Tory [ the original twit ] could substitute somebody else. Democracy thus is long gone. You are left thinking your vote counts in terms of the Libs / PCs but in real terms your vote mean squat. McGuinty / Hudak  have retired democracy from their Parties. And the scandals and abuses will not stop until you put an end to the party machine mechanism. Your best weapon is the office of an MPP, his or her constituency office. They are usually in malls and are easily disrupted. MPPs can hide away unseen or unheard in the Legislature but on their home turf they are vulnerable. When the heat get too hot many representatives will flee from their local offices, sometimes weeks at a time. They can indeed run but they can’t hide forever. The major question I keep pushing is when are the MPPs GOING TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM??? It is eminently fixable I can assure you and the fix is but a vote away. What is your MPP going to do? Do YOUR bidding to cut hydro bills in half,  if not show him / her the road?   

 The need for improved transit services is front and centre but has been converted into nothing more than another Leaf / Habs game by the media. The politicians, bureaucrats and business interests love it. Such sports headlines mean no solution has to be found and the gray train will go on for a couple more years at least. Everybody benefits but the public, as usual. The dollars will continue to flow to all concerned and this make work project can be made to last for centuries if necessary. These problems have been milked for years and will continue to be milked. WITH YOU PAYING THE BILL. The main reason things are so bad can be laid at the doorstep of one man, Robert Prichard [ the 9 million dollar man ]. He is another one of McGuinty’s pretty faces and totally unqualified for the job at Metrolinx. Prichard  screwed up the U of T Pension Fund and had to leave. Rob likewise loaded the Toronto Star up with a $ 500 million debt before being asked to leave.  He was paid $9 million to go away. This time he should go away voluntarily and we should give him absolutely nothing. In fact I vote to have Prichard pay us for the mess he has made.  McGuinty got Prichard involved with Metrolinx and once again he has screwed everything up. Metrolinx is just as big a drain on our tax dollars as Ornge. I sent Prichard many letters, to the Star when he was shilling for the nukies and in the last couple of years I took issue over all the stupid statements he has making about Metrolinx, GO  and the TTC. He talks mechanical mumbo jumbo. Did you know that our Rob actually rode the GO   O *N * C *E . If his dumb talk only affected his own wallet fine but he is playing around with the people’s money, OUR’S. And McGuinty is letting him play, not unlike all the other Liberal  insiders picking us clean. Prichard has been put in a unique leadership role. But apparently Rob is too slow to understand where he is at. An intelligent person, given such an opportunity would carpe diem, sieze the moment and go down in the history books as the man who gave Toronto the world’s best transit system. But alas poor Prichard doesn’t measure up. McGuinty picked a boy to do a great man’s job. Little wonder Ontario is now a-have- not Province.

That which is written by Goldsbie / Selley / Gurney is not worthy of being in a national newspaper even an American one. Let me say that again. Their stuff is not worthy of appearing IN PRINT. They sound like three guys in a dressing room getting to ready to go on the ice and engaging in gossip. They just did a piece on the transit problems in the Post which was misinformed dribble. In my file is one they did on the same subject back in May 2011 containing the same dribble. Look Godfrey and guys this is a serious problem, riders spend way too long going from place to place, transit is too expensive, the staff is snarky and people’s lives are being damaged. Some miss employment, and education, school recreational opportunities because they can’t get around the City. They are and should be JOB ONE. It could be that this is too big a concept for the 3 stooges to get their heads around? This trio should shut up for 6 months. Go do some research and come back with ONE GOOD IDEA.  As in, a real genuine idea.  The National Post is contributing to the transit problem by not assigning an experienced journalist to this beat. Having half wits filling up pages with dribble will not a solution give us. The solution is there but there are so many uninformed bodies like Prichard in the way. We however have just started the journey to a solution. I’m going to educate riders about the mechanics of Toronto’s transit system. In other words everything will be on the table, you will have at hand all options. Armed with this info YOU THE CITIZEN can select your MPP or Councillor. The old days of asking politicians to do something are long  gone. The days of being fogged by the media are long gone. The old line media is like a pyramid.  A small number of people at the top, controlling the information and parcelling it out to the masses. This system lends itself to manipulation and corruption. And in to-day’s world the media is manipulative and grossly corrupted. Just look at what is going on with Rupert Murdoch’s papers in England. He should be in jail. It is too bad that the Americans didn’t wake up in time to realize that their media had sold out to the right wing. Their Country is as dead as a mackerel financially. Wall St. and the banks ruined the economy and also ruined the European economy while they were at it.  I had a thought. What the USA needs is a new Paul Revere to ride around the countryside, shouting Wall St. is coming, Wall St. is coming. As well, Revere could print pamphlets actually containing the truth and distibute them on horseback to avoid Government authorities. Isn’t it interesting that the Yankee rebels rose up against an unjust King and used the written word circulated to the many to defeat him. Now the Americans underclass  is under the boot of ubermen who control what they see and hear by controlling the media as George 3 once did. I see the net as the modern day Revere pamphlets. The net is different than the old time media. It is person to person or people to people, is neutral and beyond control [ right now that is ]. Governments around the world are afraid of the net and are looking for ways to blunt its’ use. Governments, in a sense want to do what Hitler did, burn books. Keeping information out of the hands of the little people [ as Conrad Black’s wife Barb termed us ]. Trouble can be stirred up when the citizenry finds out Albertans are being forced to sell oil to the Americans oil cartel for $ 60 a barrel while those of us in eastern Canada are forced to pay the same cartel $ 100 a barrel for Middle east oil. This dishonest situation prevails because Herr Harper is working  as a salesman for EXXON.

  Chris Hume and Royson James are just as useless as the 3 boys in terms of the transit problems. Neither has a idea how to solve things. The Star has been attacking Mayor Ford from the very first day. Apparently John Honderich and his moneyed friends are not happy with the people’s choices. Mayor Ford has just one voice on a Council of more than 40. Once the people have spoken in our system it is a matter of everyone beginning to pull their oars together for the common good. The Republican’s idea that if we can’t have control we will take the whole system down. Which is what is happening south of the border. I think John Cruikshank, Publisher of the Star and an American should go home and take his half baked ideas with him. I have commented many time that in our system,once an election is over everyone gets behind the leadership. These continual attack on Mayor Ford don’t help our society one bit and it is so American. Look at Washington. The Republicans say if we can’t run America then we will destroy it and then nobody will have it. Can these be people who love their Nation? I am not surprised at the Star’s sharp elbows. The publisher, John Cruikshank came for the States and bought all his bad habits with him. Those at the Star, responsible for hiring John maybe thought he could turn the Paper around after it being Pritchardized. But no such luck. The present Star format is only hastening its’ demise. Hume and James not only suffer from not knowing what they are talking about transitwise, they use every column, no matter the subject to attack Mayor Ford. He is one elected representative on a council of more than 40 people and he only has one vote. But you know, I am no longer concerned about the Star. It is still carrying $ 500 million in Prichard debt and in terms of value, the Paper is actually worthless. Just about like Metrolinx, a worthless venture sure to drain away taxpayer’s millions and provide no return unless we clean house with Prichard and Bruce  McCuaig being the first to go. They just have to go as Metrolinx is going nowhere. In fact we would be better off if Metrolinx disappeared entirely.

To understand the transit problems of to-day we must go back to the 1970s and the Davis Government. There was a fear within my Party that Toronto would grow so big that it would become the tail that wagged the Ontario dog. A number of Regions were imposed around the boundry of the City to limit its’ growth and size. However in doing so Queen’s Park injected itself  into Toronto’s life and the City has never been free of it since that time. The Province blows hot and cold in terms of the City, sometimes tinkering and others times hands off. Toronto Council has limited powers, being a creature of the Province so it is easy for Queen’s Park to down load problems and leave Torontonians to swing in the wind. Right now, Torontonians are indeed swinging in the wind on the transit / gridlock questions. The outlying Regions form an integral part of of the Greater Toronto area. People riding transit in Durham or York could be moving around within their own borders or heading for TO. The Province set up GO transit in 1967 to connect the outlying areas. It pioneered the double decker passenger cars which are now used around the world. My problem with GO is that the supposed temporary use of existing CN / CPR tracks was never abandon. 40 years ago it looked like train travel / freight was coming to an end. Transport trucks and aeroplanes would make the rails a thing of the past. Then with increased road traffic the use of long haul transport trucks was increasingly more difficult, slower and most expensive. CN /CPR converted to modular containers which could be take off  transport trucks in Toronto, hauled by rail to Vancouver and put back on the back of a truck. These containers could come from anywhere already loaded and stacked two high. The rail lines in and around  Toronto got busier with freight train and GO began to get squeezed. Queen’s Park let things slide in terms of getting GO its’ own rights-of-way and property values climbed. Soon it was clear that GO would have to operate as a poor cousin to CN/CPR traffic. It must be remembered that the railways charged GO rent which keeps on going up. So part of a GO ticket goes to pay for rented track which should have / could have been purchased years ago for a song. This is Queen’s Park blowing hot and cold on Toronto. David Peterson’s 3 years in office was a complete disaster for the City. Bob Rae came to power having no idea what to do with the Province and for the first couple of years just made it up on the fly. Mike Harris took over [ I worked for him in good faith ] and he assumed along with his hard right wing advisors that Ontarians would accept a hard turn to the right, being so sick of an incompetent Peterson and a Rae who was lost in space. Mike was wrong. He should have provided steady as we go Government, the kind that previous PC Governments were famous for [ Frost / Robarts / Davis ]. But with people like Tom Long in his crew Ontario was doomed to suffer through the imposition of a heavy dose of  right wing ideology. It didn’t work. I laboured to get Harris his second reduced mandate and was dismayed to find out my Party had not learned a single lesson. The PCs still haven’t learned a thing, a fatal flaw in the rabid right. If at first you don’t succeed keep banging your head against the brick wall. This last weekend with the Hudak nonsense proves me right. Only 20% of Canadians [ if that? ] support the rabid right.  I urged Harris to FIX THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM as a means of staying in power. I said go big and do something that touches all Ontarians. But Mike was set on selling Ontario Hydro to the ENRON crowd and others. He pulled the utility apart, creating 5 chunked up bits which make no business sense whatsoever. One other element was left over, the nukie debt, which was separated out and put on the backs of the populace. This was so Mike’s private friends could each get in on the enslavement of Ontarians for time immemorial and assume none of the nukie debt. A side benefit for Harris was that the proceeds  from Ont. Hydro could be used to cover his hidden deficit. Everyone was going to make money from a situation that left Ontarians out in the cold empty handed. The Courts stopped the sale of Ont. Hydro, Mike’s numbers fell and instead of being out in front of the PCs at the election of 2003 like a leader should, Harris fled to the rear and took off. Before he left Mike pushed through the amalgamation of the City, although the majority were against the move. It made governing the City much more difficult which in my view was what the PCs wanted. Since that time my PCs have been unelectable. As I have said before the hard righties never learn. Canadians are in the middle and the true PCs have the right recipe. A little right of center. Good Government which attends to the NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. And attention to generating dollars outside of taxes. It might sound like sucking and blowing at the same time and it is. Only enlightened free enterprisers have the high wire skills to pull it off. So we have as we have had for the last 30 years a Queen’s Park that short changes Toronto.

Of course I must mention Jane Jacobs, the curse that keep on giving. Jane was part of a group of tenement dwellers who opposed the building of thruways by Bob Moses in New York City. One has to wonder what NY would be like to-day if the inner city highways had not been constructed. I do not fault Jacobs for fighting for the preservation of her neighbourhood. But it was a one off. Peculiar to one geographical area. Jane however turned it into an ideology which slow minded people like Chris Hume seized upon. And Chris and his buddies have been living the myth ever since. It is a very appealing  idea, strolling leafy streets with no car traffic. But it is a pipe dream. Jane was arrested in NY City for disturbing the peace. She fled the States with her two sons of Vietnam draft age and bunked in with a Toronto couple who were interested in publishing a book related to Jane’s theories. Everybody was using everybody else. The Stop Spadina movement had been functioning for a couple of years before Jacobs made the scene but her high profile boosted the group so they let her take credit. In terms of inner city high speed roads and transit Toronto Council was back in the dark ages in terms of public relations. Jane had them for lunch. The Spadina extention was actually well thought out and would have been the first time public transit and  high speed / a double lane roadway were combined.  This proposal cut through some yuppie areas, people with money, time on their hands and quite happy with the status quo. The thought of other Torontonians [ the underclass ] traipsing through their exclusive enclaves was too hard to bear. The Stop Spadina group never numbered more than 50 people. In a democracy 50 protesters should not be able to dictate to millions but they did. The City Council of the time was totally inept, they never explained the advantages of Spadina especially the fact that it would serve car drivers and transit riders at the same time. Bill Davis withdrew his support of the Spadina with an eye on the upcoming Provincial election. Jane and her new friends made much hay from the Spadina and it turned into a growth industry to their benefit exclusiely. Many Torontonians liked the idea of leafy glades with no cars. Such a position was not a practical approach for 75% of the population but the Stop committee made good newspaper copy. This protest ushered in 30 years of City Councils that tried in every which way to drive cars out of Toronto. Although more than 2/3rds of residents own vehicles the Council maintained its’ vendetta against cars. Drivers were going to be forced to take public transit so the TTC didn’t have to bother with good customer service,  something required of  businesses. The death of Spadina ended planning for a more comprehensive roadway system. Transit planning went out the window too. We have been reaping the whirlwind ever since. The left leaning Toronto Council was into social engineering and the citizens were going to have to adhere to the councillor’s dictates. Extracting as much money from motorists as they possibly could to fund good works. Loads of  money was spent with Toronto Traffic Services to make the City’s roads almost unnavigable. Confusing parking signs, specially engineered speed traps and the use of major thoroughfares as free parking zones for couriers has greatly contributed to gridlock. Toronto has become a nasty place where one group of people is set against another. A favourite trick of politicians and a sport much loved by the media.  Things just get worse as is the case with Toronto but if you are rich and live in quiet areas of the City the problems for citizens who have to make their daily bread are not on your screen. There are hundreds of thousands of working poor who have just been forgotten. McGuinty with his pal Rob Prichard have been able to put the whole focus for gridlock and lack of adequate and affordable public transit on City Council and I say lay off, specially the likes of Goldsbie, Selley, Gurney, Hume and James.  Mayor Ford and his Councillors have been short changed in terms of their options. Options which suit the friends of McGuinty. Options which make max money for insiders and least serve drivers and riders. Of course those who stand to make big bucks have the media, particularly the newspapers onside. I do not understand the elites. If the problems are allowed to fester I can see another 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion which will do no one any good. The solution to gridlock and the transit crisis is to let people in on all the options. Then we can move out smartly to deal with the wrongs which bar our progress.

The Neaderthal race lasted for about 150,000 years. Not bad for people who were supposed to be dumb. They came out of Africa at a most opportune time in ice age history. Africa was close to the Equator and thus warm. As the glaciers receded the warmth mover north into central Europe and the small animals followed. The Neandethals were small game hunters and gatherers. Since the climate and food situation was so ideal and remained constant THE NEANDERTHAL TOOL KIT NEVER CHANGED FROM BEGINNING TO END. When the climate changed for the worse 40,000 years ago, the Neanderthals could not adapt, they had never been required to do so and with the fast approach of the cold winds they were doomed. Toronto transit authorities seem to have an inability to adapt just like the Neanderthals. The City in the beginning expanded along the Lake and north on Yonge St. The Westerners and Americans who dominate Metrolinx management probably didn’t know this. It follows that there would be a Bloor St. Subway and a Yonge St. subway in the beginning but the inverted T doesn’t make sense any more. But like the poor Neanderthals our leadership continues to use the same old tool box. The reason for this is the media won’t tell people what the leaders are doing, everything is done behind closed door. Did anyone know that McGuinty was making a loan of  $1. 4  milion to Dr. Mazza???  Liberal MPPs should be in revolt. Can you imagine putting used diesels [ 80,000 lbs / 50 year old technology ] to use as  the Airport Link?  This is Prichard’s doing. These diesel trains will not be able to access the Airport. So Pan Am visitors will be school bused 2 kms to Pearson. Way to go Rob, yet another screw up. This airport link is being set up to fulfill commitments made to the Pan Am committee but they will never be told about the bus ride. The link will not be available to the underclass and when the games are over, since it is set up as a separate company [ like ornge ] it will be sold to one of McGuinty’s friends. Then we will be held up to ransom for rides to the airport like we are held up to ransom by the nukies.

Who ever on Prichard’s team of foreigners dreamed up putting rapid transit across Eglinton Ave. is as dumb as a crowbar. Eglinton starts nowhere in the east and goes to nowhere in the west. I was born at Dufferin and Eglinton and know the street like the back of my hand. Between Dupont, St. Clair and Eglinton is the old shore of Lake Iroquois evidenced by the heights Casa Loma sits on. People  down the hill do not gravitate up to Eglinton. North of Eglinton are a series of ravines across its’ entire length. People go north to Lawrence. So Eglinton is in a sense in a ditch with nothing at either end. IF SOMEBODY AT QUEEN’S PARK AND CITY HALL IS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT, NOW I DON’T THINK SO BUT JUST IN CASE HERE’S WHAT TO DO. Toronto Traffic has with Council’s permission taken 3 main east / west roads out of service. St. Clair with the help of the TTC. Eglinton and Lawrence have been rendered unusable using every obstruction known to man. The taxpayer’s of this City paid for the roads and now to have them taken away by bureaucrats who have a hate on for cars and drivers and who are into social engineering. This is the stuff revolutions are made of. But even though the previous Council and the management at Toronto Traffic hate cars and want to see drivers driven off the streets here is the straight goods. When you back up the cars, *** now wait for it *** you ALSO BACK UP THE BUSES AND THE STREET CARS. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. There is a pedestrian light in front of 586 Eglinton Ave. E. There is a stop light one block to the east at Bayview and Eglinton. There is another stop light at Cardiff, 2 blocks to the west. One person pushing a button can stop 40 or 50 cars and 6 or 7 busses going each way. Most people who use this light walk east or west anyway. Why doesn’t Toronto Traffic put in 4 pedestrian lights along this short stretch and then they could really tie traffic and the TTC up for hours. In fact there are pedestrian lights in front of Rogers at the Jarvis and Mount Pleasant split northbound and on Mount Pleasant a half mile south of St. Clair. Many time these lights go red when THERE ARE NO PEDESTRIANS. I think Toronto Traffic has buttons for all of these pedestrian crossings and when the people on duty get bored someone goes over and punches in the red just to fuck traffic up even more. The management at Toronto Traffic should be cashiered. I have got other ideas as to what to do with them but I would have the Police at my door. Just a hint, seeing them in chains in a dungeon  three floors down would make my week.

If you look at the present transit system it looks like a Xmas tree. The affluent people live in the core, from downtown up Yonge street and branch subway lines go north then east and west. So the well to do are looked after with subways built with tax money FROM ALL THE PEOPLE.  But Toronto is actually shaped like a donut, the hole in the middle is where the rich live like the Stop Spadina crowd and all around the outside are working people and the working poor. Citizens in Scarborough can’t get a job at Pearson. A student in Weston can’t get to York easily. Someone out near Woodbine could not take employment in Malvern. The transit system has been allowed to rot over the years and McGuinty put Prichard in charge to insure the rot continues. 30 years of a WE-HATE-CARS- COUNCIL HAS CRIPPLED THIS CITY. This place is so badly run that they are talking about closing rinks and pools and charging for kids to play in the parks. I know all of this is way over the heads of Prichard, McCuaig, Goldsbie, Selley, Gurney, Hume and James.

Four main things have to be done immediately.

[ 1 ] Review every major street and remove every unncessary obstruction in terms of lights, stop streets, bump outs and then put up new signs, NO PARKING ANY TIME / TOW AWAY ZONE . I have already offered Mayor Ford my services. He could have his representative and a stenographer equipped with a map drive around with me and I would point out every obstacle that has to be removed. It might take a month. This kind of survey has been priced at $ 385 million. I’d charge $ 25,000. After tax I’d split the remainder with Sick Kids and Sunnybrook. Instead of spending time on the back streets ticketing moms and seniors the Parking Authority would contribute more funds to the City  by dealing with offences really relate to parking. I watch at least 50 couriers a day park in front of 586 Eglinton Ave. WITHOUT EVER GETTING TICKETED. This medical building has a rear parking lot and a loading dock but the couriers are just too lazy to walk around. Sometime there are too many couriers and the overflow parks around the corner on Bruce Park. If private cars are parked in the same location they get ticketed but not the couriers. We have Toronto Traffic Services imposed gridlock. I was a Pickering Councillor and got into all this traffic control and road signage. I can’t believe that civil servants would be allowed to treat taxpayers /  drivers in this manner but the old Council encouraged them [ like Adam Vaughan, as slow witted as they come ]. Get the cars moving and the buses and street cars will follow. Provided fast / cheap public transit and the affluent will leave their cars at home. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Moving cars do not produce as much carbon monoxide, a silent, odorless killer that particually affects the young. I have asked that our major intersections be tested for carbon monoxide by the Public Health Dept. especially near schools. But I have been ignored.

[ 2 ] Install electric, elevated, wide bodied, rubber tired Sky Liners in a loop completely around the outside of the City. Going up means that the gauge of the track / cars can be made wider. The system [ 2 way ] would be 30 ft in the air and follow the present GO track right-of-way from Union up to north of Weston. The BLU line would meet the GRN line coming from the east and from there trains would go into Pearson. Someone would board the GRN line and travel east across north of Finch using the massive hydro right-of-way to Malvern. From Malvern the RED line would go to the Scarb. Town centre and make use of the existing RT line down to the Bloor Subway. The ONG line would go north from the Bloor Subway up the Don Valley, connect with the Sheppard Subway and then on up to Finch at # 404.  I have been  pushing for electric / elevated / trains for a number of years but I have been ignored especially by Rob Prichard. I am sure I am not the only one making suggestions that would improve gridlock and transit but we [ if there are others ] are shut out of the process by the politicians, the entrenched  bureaucrat , Government insiders and a media paid to limit the options. On Dec. 20 /11 Sir Dalt announced Prichard’s airport link which if you knew what is going on it would curl your hair. Maybe Prichard, McCuaig, Hines, Mitchell and Formusa got loans too.  McGuinty made the Link announcement at Pearson from inside the parking garage. OUTSIDE THROUGH THE WINDOWS WAS THE FUTURE RIGHT BEHIND HIM. BUT THE DIGNITARIES AND THE REPORTERS WERE TOO DUMB TO NOTICE. Behind the Preem, in full view, going by is the elevated, electric train that brings  people from the north parking lot to the terminal. You can lead a Premier to the new Toronto Sky Liner EET system but you can’t make him open his eyes and mind. By the way Prichard has hired one Kathy Haley to be President of the Air – Rail- Link [ ARL ]. Like Laura Formusa of Hydro One [ who was a secretary ] Kathy has absolutely no qualification to run a railroad. She worked for Canada Post, RBC, CIBC and Imperial Oil where she set up the internal coffee bars in service stations. I have named her the, ” Coffee Lady “.  ARL is being groomed to be sold to the private sector and I would guess our know nothing Haley will facilitate the sale. Now the ARL is a poor business model and is too cumbersome to make any money. So when it is sold the new owners will be paid a taxpayer subsidy that will go on forever, just like Mike Harris did with the Bruce Power Nuclear Plant. Ontarians have a huge hydro electric resource both installed or potential and yet we lease out the Bruce facility [ past its’ best before date ] and subsidize the British owners EVEN IF WE CAN’T USE THE KWs. A have-not-Province? You bet. Ontario, is now a loser, put in that position by the Lib. / PC Party machines and insiders.

[ 3 ]  With the Sky Liner system installed it will look like a wagon wheel. Union with improved parking will be the hub. Spokes made up of subways and the GO routes will interset the Sky Liner system at various points along the City’s boundries. The wagon wheel is used in all the great cities London, Paris, Moscow, St. Petersberg and Chicago etc. With the wagon wheel people can easily get from any point in Toronto with ease. Parking lots would be built at all the Sky Liner modular stations. Drivers in Pickering would park in Scarb. and ride the Liner to Pearson in 20 minutes. It is marvelous what is going on in the world as regards transit. But here in Ontario we are stuck with McGuinty, Prichard and the Star to name a few. All straining to hold back the hands of time to theirbenefit and at OUR EXPENSE.

[ 4 ] Toronto Regional Transit would be taken over by the Province and split in two. The old TTC would run the buses and street cars and the Regional folks would run GO, subways and the Sky Liners. A new electrical system would be installed to run the TRT bringing Dedicated Delivery hydro KWs from Northern Ontario via Hydro One after its’ shakeup. Toronto Hydro and the nuclear people would not get a look in on TRT.  Green / clean / cheap hydro would guarantee reliabilty so that Tony Hanes of  Toronto Hydro couldn’t black mail TRT with brown outs and stoppages. Low cost KWs would ensure low ticket prices. The bus and street car lines would be reoriented to feed people to and take people from the Sky Liner system.

Hey, Torontonians would be able to zip around the outside of the City in wide bodied / rubber tired EETs with electric motors in each car and pop in wherever they desired. The cars on the elevated trackways with a third / hot rail [ no overhead wires ] and using mostly EXISTING RIGHTS-OF-WAY OWNED BY THE PUBLIC would be accomodated on modular trackways, towers and stations all made in Ontario. The special wide bodied cars could be manufactured under licence from Bombardier maybe at Downsview. The cost of the Sky Liner system would blow your mind. If I prepared a budget for same the old line media would never broadcast or print the low amount. We are back to the time of Paul Revere wherein the truth has to be printed in basements and distributed in the dark of night. We hear almost every day about the lack of innovation from the media. The right / white / rich 20% really want the exact opposite, the staus quo as proposed by Don Drummond [ who is a fraud ]. These articles about lack of productivity and innovation are actually placed in the media  and paid for by the 20%ers. They do not want the system I have described above to ever make it to Toronto.  As I have said, many great civiliztions have expired over time. The common thread, a docile public and an incompetent or corrupt leadership. In Ontario we have both the latter. DO WE ALSO HAVE THE FORMER????????????

CANADIAN STUFF WE HAVE TO FIX SOON / HOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW ? 6/01/12

JUST A NOTE OF THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS   —  My reason for starting this blog was to try and rectify problems in Ontario and to a lesser degree Ottawa. As you know I feel strongly about the ad media not serving the interests of the PEOPLE. All we get is Propaganda Pablum [ baby food ] and advertiser sponsored spin. What I find interesting is that responses are coming for all over the world. I have given this some thought. I believe human nature is universal. As is the search for truth, peace, prosperity, our rights and our right to express ourselves without fear of those in authority. So many good / bad things flow from these pursuits. Good stories resonate around the globe and lift the spirits of all. Bad news and the efforts to combat same when widely broadcast forearm the masses. To know the enemy and the ways to deal with such evil lifts all boats. My views come from my own experience and my research into what interests me. In every case I am on the hunt for solutions. Rehashing past events is without worth. History is only of value when you can learn from it and make changes. My major concern for Canada is the fact that we are in the grip of those who want to retain the status quo with Herr Harper being the current advocate. The quoers have loads of cash and are ably aided by the ad media. This Country is being left behind and most Canadians don’t even know it. I would like to be someone who helps usher in the bright future which is our due. Churchill in one of his Wartime speeches spoke about the sunny upland slopes that awaited the defeat of Hitler. Those sunny upland slopes await us too but we will never see them if we continued to tarry in this present unpleasant place rendered even more unpleasant by the presence of Harper.

MORE THOUGHTS FOR 2012   —  

MONTE SOLBERG   —   How come so many of the hard right, Reform, Republicans, Americans, Fascist / Conservatives, friends of Pastor Manning and disciples of Ted Byfield [ a racist, intolerant bigot ] dominate the pages of our newspapers. They attack Canadians, the Order of Canada, medicare, unions, social programs, the arts, free speech, the CBC, CRTC, Can. Wheat Board, Can. Nuclear Safety Comm., the Auditor General, Elections Canada, the Senate, Canadian Judges, our Courts, pensions, Pro Choice , same sex marriage, minimum wage, UI, cell phone ban when driving  and any other things that doesn’t adhere to the rabid right ideology. All of these people constitute less than 10% of Canada’s population . Remember we live in a democracy where the majority rules and this doesn’t mean a majority in the House of the People. Our system allows the party with the largest number of MPs with over 50 % of the seats to govern [ not to rule or form a dictatorship ]. The key ingrediant in this society IS * THE * WILL* OF* THE* PEOPLE. Governments like Herr Harper, with a SLIM MAJORITY AND LESS THAN 40% OF THE VOTES IN THE LAST ELECTION WHICH SAW 38% OF CANADIANS NOT EXERCISE THEIR  FRANCHISE ARE ON SHAKY GROUND IN TERMS OF ANY STRONG LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS.  Solberg’s mindless  article in the Sun had the headline, “Now is Harper’s time to change Canada “. Herr Harper was not given a mandate to change Canada in any way. He was given barely enough votes to form a government and he had better respect that or there wil be a Constitutional crisis. Some years back I began the question the slide of California into becoming a have-not-State. How could 34 million have-everything people get themselves into such a financial mess? I discovered the US oil cartel had financed the State Republicans under the table to allow them to take unfair advantage of the political system there. In addition the oilies bought off the media as well. What has emerged is a process whereby the minority 20% can thwart the will of the majority 51%. And the Republicans have put reclaiming their democratic right beyond reach. California is bankrupt and ungovernable. In Canada the US oil cartel is following the very same course. The oilies are slipping Harper big chunks of illegal cash. The media claims he is a great fundraiser. They’ll say anything for a bloody buck. Like the PeeM is sporting thousands of dollars in hockey equipment and the opposition is relegated to playing with used sticks and rusty skates.  The voter subsidy was supposed to level the playing field. Harper has done away with the subsidy and the oil cartel has actually bought him the entire playing field. Those who now dominate the pages of our newspapers have their roots in the failed Alberta / Western Reports [  magazines 19 79 ] which Ted Byfield peddled. The circulation was so low that the publications failed. Few people were interested. Ezra leRant tried the same kind of right wing ploy with the Western Standard and he couldn’t make a dime. Again few Canadians were interested in buying what LeRant was selling. In typical Republican style, if you fail, redouble your efforts without changing a thing. All of a sudden we have a whole army of these baboons chirping away. Why??? I will answer my own question. Oil money has not only bought Parliament Hill, they financed hundreds of public relations firms to lobby for the right. Who hire shills who can write, mindlessly but right. As well an endless number of charities have been set up supported by the taxpayer’s nickel to churn out right wing propaganda [ Tom Harris Climate Coalition, MacDonald Laurier Inst, Fraser Inst., C D Howe Inst. Ethical Oil, Canada West, Can. Constitutional Assoc, Canadian Taxpayers Fed., Montreal Economic Inst., Fair Questions.org and the list goes on ]. YOU, YOU, YOURSELF ARE PAYING TO HAVE ALL OF THIS HATEFUL PROPAGANDA CIRCULATED. Going to a Club shop, buying a club and then handing it to the cartel /Harper so they can beat you over the head makes no sense to me. The one way this proliferation of right wing  tripe can be stopped in its’ tracks is for the ad media TO JUST SPEAK UP ABOUT THE LIES AND ABUSE AND REFUSE PRINT SPACE TO THESE KOOKS ON THE RIGHT. But the media stays mum and for a very good reason, money. Newspapers are dying, circulation is down as is regular  advertising. Can you imagine a businessman advertising in the Tor. Sun wherein Ezra Le Rant, Brian Lilley and Charles Adler appear each day to talk loud baby talk?  Did you know that the stock value of newspapers across North America has fallen 95%. 300 papers have gone out of business and 15,000 journalists are now on the street [ 20% of the total ]. Hopefully Terry Corcoron and Pete Foster will soon join them.  Our friend, the Fascist PeeM has increased Government spending on advertising by a factor of three and this can be added to all the money the US oil cartel puts into advertising. The  Can. Assoc. Petroleum Producers [ CAPP ] in Calgary has some doozie advertising. Full page paper ads with a guy hugging  an evergreen and a gal strolling down a leafy lane in a golden sunset. The newspapers are scared shitless. Speak out about Harper’s abuses and the offender is off the Fascist advertising list. Like Conrad Black the paper owners now offer kisses up to Harper’s ass every morning. Hitler controlled the press by force. Harper controls the media with Government / oil cartel advertising. The media management also loves the free reportage from the right and has to play along. All of these right wing ranters, HAVE NOTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY like Ezra LeRant, Monte Solberg, Pastor Manning, Gwyn Morgan, Andrew Coyne to name some. But they get automatic front page coverage. I have been blogging for more than 2 years. On occasion I will print my posts on paper and snail mail them to policians, the media and newspapers particularly. I have never had a single post published. Lies and money count for everything. The truth stands for nothing with the media. What we have is a 20% view of things getting 90% of the media coverage. This is the repeat of the media experience in the USA. The media down there, particularly the newspapers saw nothing, heard nothing and SAID  nothing about Wall St. theft. I don’t have to explain the result of this failure of duty, it is there for all the world to see. The end of America as we have known it. The US already owes China bigtime. That Country is a success financially and was asked by the Europeans to help bail them out. Since the USA and China have such a close working relationship why not ask the Chinese to come in and manage the Government in Washington. The immediate saving will be the salaries of the members of the House, the Senators, their staffs and a corrupt bureaucracy. This would also smarten up the US banks and Wall St., no more funny money stuff or into the clink Chinese style. Your answers to all of the propaganda from the right are there on the net sitting in your computer. Net info will not be served up to you all neat as it has been in the past in the papers and on TV. Journalists and commentators have gotten quite smooth over the years at making propaganda, easy to understand, easy to digest and easy meat for a lazy brain. Sort of popcorn like. The net has the facts and the truth but you have to work for your info. So you have to make a decision. Either you dwell in the land of wishful thinkers where the Harper, the oilies and media wants you to stay and contribute to the demise of your very own society. Or you can dig for the facts upon which you can base your adaptability strategy so important in life’s journey. 16,000 years ago the Solutreans in France faced a critical situation. The ice sheet was melting and the Woolly Mammoth habitat was disappearing from around Paris. The Mammoth numbers were dropping and fewer of them were passing through the Loire Valley where these early people lived in caves and decorated same with beautiful drawings. Early humankind had followed the animals out of Africa when the climate changed. Change had arrived again and the Mammoths began leaving France, travelling along the north shore of the Mediterranean, through Italy, into central Europe,  across Russian into Siberia, over the land bridge to Alaska, down the Rockies to the Denver plain and Clovis New Mexico. It took the Solutreans 5000 years to travel 12,000 miles following the Woolly Mammoths. These big game hunter survived, to this day actually. The Mammoths however didn’t make it. It is said that at it’s height the Solutrean population numbered from 35,000 to 40,000 people. A successful civilization that had been around for 7000 years when the move out took place. So if you count from 23,000 years ago till now it is even more impressive. They didn’t have cell phones, computers, the net or pizza and look how they managed. They had to live in the real world, something we are not doing in North America. The Roman experiment lasted for but 700 years. The USA will NOT live to see its’ 300th birthday and Canada won’t get to 150 years the way Harper is going. Screw you Monte Solberg, WE CAN’T ALLOW HERR HARPER TO CHANGE CANADA INTO THE MIRROR IMAGE OF THE USA.  Monte is a right wing air head, his babble is not even worth the price of the ink used. By printing same Pierre Peladeau shows himself to be an enemy of the people.

THE MINISTER OF BANANAS / JASON KENNEY / DEPUTY MINISTER OF BANANAS / RONA AMBROSE   —   What happen to the idea of the Government of Canada actually governing the Country. All we see from day to day is Herr Harper trotting out his pet peeves and settling old scores. The tar sands is a filthy operation, Canadians know it and the world knows it. No matter how much the US oil cartel pays Harper and how much he wishful thinks they are not going to win this one. Chiquita, an American Corporation is exercising its’ right to create the lightest CO2 footprint possible. The planet is obviously important to the Company and it is good public relations as well. Rona and her boycott of the firm’s bananas, is frankly bananas. I was a Director of the Conservative Riding Association in Belleville for almost 2 years and I wrote to Ambrose a couple of times on the matter of Global Warming [ 2007 ]. These letters related to stupid statements she was making. Nothing came of  my suggestions to her and Harper. Garry Lunn was another nincompoop. Getting an inside view of this bunch of clowns caused me to bail. I have great difficulty dealing with people who are mental midgets and who talk about manipulation and indoctrination.  I’d say to Chiquita, go your merry way and ignore Herr Harper and HIS BROWNSHIRTS.  This is a matter of free speech. If people are going to be attacked by the Harper biased media and bludgeoned into silence then Canadians have a much bigger problem than I thought. I have already spoke about his use of Rev. Can. to intimidate his opponents.  Under the circumstances both Kenney and Ambrose should resign. Now Ezra LeRant has gotten into the fray by making disparaging remarks about a Chiquita executive on Sun TV. In a sense this LeRant / Peladeau dust up shows just how unimportant FOX North really is. Up till now only one complaint about Ezra’s outburst has been received by the CRTC. A clue, nobody is watching Pierre’s TV station. Peladeau recently sold off some TV assets and laid off 400 staff. Quebecor has the smell of death about it. If investors in the operation are only reading the newspaper I pity them.  Pierre has even lowered himself to the point where he is printing Paul Godfrey’s National Post for him. Talk about the lame leading the blind?  They set Ezra loose on this Ethical Oil [ a right wing front ] nonsense. Since the US oil cartel is only interested in stealing the raw tar from Albertans I have urged LeRant to change his campaign to Ethical Bitumen. When Ezra was next let out of his cage he went on a rampage about the CBC. The Corporation holds a special place in Canada these day. An honour to add to its’ well filled trophy case. It is the ONLY MEDIA OUTLET THAT TELLS THE TRUTH IN THIS COUNTRY. When LeRant first started running off at the mouth I couldn’t figure out where this guy came from. His pronouncements were of little value to our society so I  questioned , why was he being paid any attention? I have come to realize latterly that all these right wing wing nuts are being employed by the oil cartel and come out of Alberta. The only way the oilie message can make it into the public domain is to have it delivered by a whole slew of village idiots. LeRant was the first rightie I scoped out on the net. Since leaving the University of Lying in Alberta Ezra has made a mess of his life. He has never been a success doing anything. I think he has mental problems. You know, Hitler’s Brownshirts were recruited from the ranks of the jail birds, thugs, the criminal element and the mentally unbalanced. I believe Herr Harper suffers from mental illness. This was confirmed for me when Steve during his time in politics just vanished for a couple of weeks. His constant lying only convinces me more. One thing I do is keep clipping the important stories, especially those on energy. My file keeping goes back at least a dozen years. My readers constantly asking the question,” where do you find all this information “? It is easy. I go back reread the article / articles, scan the net and connect the dots. Having a written history to depend upon propelled humankind forward at an ever increasing rate. We did not have to keep relearning the lessons of our forefathers. Canada is now a Country without a history thanks to the media. The journalists / reporter of old used to dig back and put together stories that might span decades. Now the media tells stories, if they tell them at all and then they’re mostly fiction. There is no reference to last week and no hint of what is coming down the track. In dictatorships the idea is to keep the citizenry ignorant, confused, anxious and always topped up with government propaganda. We are close to that now. Do you remember Gary Lunn. He was the Minister of Natural Resources who fired Linda Keen in the middle of the night to prevent her from testifying before a Commons Committee. Harper said Keen had closed down the NRU reactor at Chalk River because of safety concerns. That was another lie but the media just stayed silent. The CNSC had ordered AEC to add pumps to their system to guard against a possible earthquake. AEC did nothing but the Agency wrote to the CNSC to say the pumps had been installed. Another lie, the pumps were still in their packing crates. Keen’s inspectors were at Chalk River doing regular checks and discovered no pumps. Management at AEC had agreed with the installation of the pumps for safety reasons and one of their people wrote to say,” the job’s all done “. The moment that AEC realzed they had their asses in a vise they cooked up a scheme with Harper and Lunn wherein AEC would actually close the plant voluntarily themselves and Lunn would blame Keen. The CNSC is a very important agency seeing that the people at AEC have been lying about everything for years. It is a wonder that we have not had a serious accident to date. Gary Lunn could not tell the media why Linda Keen had been fired and then he too vanished for two weeks to let the story cool. Once the heat has gone down and 2 weeks passes the media can ignore the story, the people are focused on new bread, wine and circus events. AEC did not install the 2 pumps they agreed to, they sent a bogus letter to the Commission lying about the installation. All of the blame for their mistake and the incompetence of Gary Lunn was shifted to Linda Keen. AEC was rewarded for its’ inexcuseable behaviour by getting an extention on the pump installation. Who knows whether the pumps were ever installed but we will find out if  Ottawa has an earthquake. Linda Keen was replaced by a Fascist / Conservative stooge whose only apparent attribute is parroting what ever Herr Harper says and still the media sleeps on. Mind, it a great kind of business to be in even though the press is not long for this world. For doing nothing and saying nothing they get well paid. My difficulty would be kissing the PeeM’s ass all the time.  But I am here to tell you how sweet  the democratic system is. Gary Lunn got thumped by Elizabeth May in the 2011 Federal Election. I am sure the media has been warned by Harper not to give Elizabeth any coverage. If true it is a shame for the almost 32,000 voters who voted for her in Saanich – Gulf Islands. The dominate right media wrongly trumpets Harper’s so called massive majority. It is a crock. Any shill who says / writes  huge majority, shows where his or her cheque is coming from and should be branded an enemy of the people.  Harper has 165 seats and needed 155. He has already lost one Fascist / Conservative MP who crossed the floor to sit as an independent. Harper’s new seat total 164. So now we need 9  more defectors. Only former Reformers get to speak on behalf of the government. There have to be at least 100 very unhappy true PC MPs.  To utilize his majority Harper needs everybody in the House. If too many MPs go to Mexico to get married as Peter Macay did the opposition could pounce. In 2008 Garry Lunn got 28,000 votes and the Greens 6732. In 2011 the voters of Saanich – Gulf Islands handed May a victory with 32,000 vote, Lunn got 24,500. The turnout of voters was 75%.  No voter apathy here Mr. Harper. Cross Canadians and you pay a price. This is an important story about May’s vistory that the media is too timid to cover. Even though Pastor Manning keeps talking about Canada moving to the right what is he says is really rubbish and more wishful think. The people of Saanich gave the deceitful / incompetent Gary Lunn the finger. May gained 26,000 votes. I don’t know if that has ever happened before in one riding. This is the kind of thing the press used to cover. But now it is a matter of dancing to Harper’s tune and tuning out Canadians. I can’t wait for Canadians to tune out the newspapers, they are worse than useless and are a danger to our democracy. There is a strong discussion going on as to the fate of newspapers. In my view they are already dead. It is just that there are still idiots like Peladeau around who are prepared to throw good money after bad. I would advise those who think papers will come back to donate their money to Sunnybrook, at least they’ll get a Ward or elevator named after them. Sinking their dough into a failing papers will only get them into the line at the food bank. The National Post as I have said is 90% owned by Americans which is against the rules of Canadian ownership. Harper has done nothing about this situation and the other members of the media ain’t saying nothing. The’re cowards in the extreme.  But you know I am not really that worried. The Post loses money each quarter and has for years. There are no buyers for the Paper so it will go belly up a second time and the Yanks will take a bath. What a pleasant happening. If  Pierre Peladeau is allowing Post / Godfrey to get too far in the hole for the printing bill the death of the Post could take the Sun with it. Now that will be a happy day for me. The question is where do we go from here. A strong / free press is important to this democracy. The present press, now in the service of the movers and takers presents a grave danger to us. The internet is like a young bird, still in the nest, that has yet to test its wings. We have to transition from the dangerous place we are in now to the place we need to be. The information flow now eminating [ mostly lies and propaganda ] from Herr Harper and the ad media doesn’t equip us for the journey that we must shortly begin. I have some ideas on how we might proceed to find a new way of delivering information that is dependable and that can actually be used in day to day human activity. Where most of us live. I will cover that subject in the next few days.

JAN CARR / A DANGEROUS INSIDER / GUY HOLBURN / A DANGEROUS OUTSIDER WHO CAN GO HOME / PLEASE   —   I have had Carr in my sights for some years. Jan first came to my attention when he was perched on the catwalk overlooking the generator gallery in the old Rankin Hydro plant. Carr closed the plant to assist Dwight Duncan in his black out scare campaign. The nukies are still using threats of blackouts. When I take over our electrical system I will fire the lot.  Johnny Spears wrote the story for the Star and everything went over his head as usual. You know Spears. He has spent at least 8 years under my tutelage on matters of energy and has yet to learn a single thing. Johnny has written a hundred or more stories about electricity [ mostly ] and has managed to include false and misleading  information in each and every one. How does John Honderich tolerate such an incompetent writer, 8 years and he failed every one of my exam??? The answer is that in to-day’s world people who do the reporting rise to the top due mainly to being empty headed. They never challenge the white / right / rich 20%. When Carr closed the Rankin plant he gave two reasons. It was old and in need of repairs. That was a lie. The other reason was the Water Agreement with the USA was running out. Another lie. Here we are 6 years later and Jan is still telling lies and getting away with it. Carr used to be the darling of the Star because he facilitated the Liberal Government’s push to build more nuclear plants. This approach would have seen the nukies benefit and would have opened the public treasury to the private sector. McGuinty’s nuclear dreams turned to ashes during the US financial meltdown of 2008 /2009. Even though the nukies bought King Dalt a house he couldn’t pull the rabbit out of the hat for them. McGuinty made the mistake of using our electrical system as a way to score political points. That’s like trying to use your car engine to heat your coffee. First the Dalt announced the closing of the coal plants. This meant that the nukies would lose back up for their faulty nukes. McGuinty then dragged his feet on coal plant closures. This gave the nukies time to arrange for an alternative back up system, natural gas generating plants which can be built closer to population centres. But burning gas creates CO2 and carbon monoxide. In this regard the nukies don’t care. To maintain the supremacy of their nukes, any back up will do no matter the damage to the health of people. Any back up other than hydro electricity of which Ontario has 27,000 MWs. Our daily use at present is 19,000 MWs. So we have 8000 MWs surplus of Green / clean / cheap KWs that could be transmitted to the Alberta tar sands and still have enough electricity to power the Province totally with all the nuclear / coal / nat. gas plants closed. Water doesn’t need a back up. To this mess of the 5 dwarfs electrical system created by Mike Harris was added the McGuinty green initiative which his keepers thought would win votes. Paying 80 cents per KW was a brilliant idea if the 500,000 jobs had actually materialized. But alas, as we have seen wishful thinking doesn’t cut it even if the media has been bought with Queen’s Park advertising to ensure favourable coverage. Since the days when Harris failed to seize the moment in 2000 to fix the electrical system as I had urged and the failure in 2004 [ onward ] of McGuinty to recognize the dimensions of the KW problems Ontario has continued to stumble electricwise, to our great cost. And it keeps getting worse. The tools to solve the KW problems exist but the supporters of the Libs and the PCs understand at what cost it will be to their insider friends. So your hydro bill has just one way to go, UP. To change that trejectory you are going to have to get off your butt.  Your Lib. / PC  MPP will be of no help to you because their Party machines won’t let them help you. We need 55 MPPs at Queen’s Park to vote to form an all Party Commitee to begin to reconstitute our electrial system. I have covered this many time. Please remember to send your KW questions to your MPP. This present mess has angered the private sector because they have been waiting to get their slice for years.  Friends of the Libs and the PCs have waited a long time for the beanfeast and McGuinty’s misfires have put the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow even further out of reach. Thank heavens. Jan Carr has now ditched McGuinty and the Liberals and realized the best bet for he and his associates [ sharks ] is to back Hudak. So Carr had a piece printed in the National Post entitled, ” Stop government meddling in power “. It is right wing propaganda full of the usual lies. His assistant  in this endeavour was a Guy Holburn who hangs out at the Ivey School of Business / U of Western Ont. Guy is not native to this Province and has no understanding of electricity or our needs. Paul Godfey will print anything that is free and comes with a cheque. The Jan / Guy pitch is that McGuinty has issued 56 Directives to the nukies telling them what to do. Oh really. Our electrical system belongs to the people and McGuinty [ for good or ill ] was elected to govern. Who the hell does Carr think he is questioning the conduct of a democratically elected Government even if they have screwed up badly? This is right wing claptrap. The right says that governments has no right to interfere with private business. This is also American thinking. Government in the US has been given a bad name by the Republicans and this message is repeated by most of the media Stateside over and over and over and over. It is a lie. I would like to say to the backers of Jan Carr, the National Post, the Fraser Inst. and TransAlta  GO FUCK YOURSELVES. Ontario’s electrical system is surely hurting but we have the tools to fix it. All we need is 55 MPPs with some spine and more of an interest in the welfare of this Province than the Lib / PC  Party machines. We will either get the gang of 55 out of the present legislature or we will get them in the upcoming election. There are enough problems in Alberta over the loss of their markets for nat. gas and oil to keep Carr, the Post, Fraser and TransAlta real busy for the next little while. We can handle our own difficulties, thank you very much. The National Post is owned by Americans when it should not be. The US oil cartel contributes a lot of money to the Post, just witness all of the oil propaganda and lies appearing in the Paper’s pages. Interestingly we can get the flavour of just who we are dealing with. Jan Carr is a former Director of TransAlta which has just settle a ruling by the Alberta Market Surveillance Admin. in respect to TransAlta’s gaming of the electrical system. The Company cheated Albertans out of $ 5.5 million. They manipulated the supply of KWs from BC by blocking potentially cheaper prices just like ENRON used to do. Harper / Kent had announced new pollution regs for coal fired generating plants across the Country. Now they are pulling back the regulationa nd giving these crooks at TransAlta [ and other private operators ]  a gimmee. These private energy operators are rotten to the core but the money to Harper does work well. As long as they flourish and can buy the allegiance of politicans and the ad media our wallets are not safe. Ontario is now a have-not-province and Alberta is about to duplicate our slide here. This doesn’t have to be the case. There are Green / clean / cheap solutions but the  media won’t touch the good news. It is a matter of the people [ YOU ] taking back the power over power. In Ontario we must return to our roots and reactivate the tremendous hydro resources we possess. In Alberta the one customer market [ USA ] for nat. gas and oil has failed them. American demand for gasoline has dropped 20% in 3 years. There are new finds of tight oil and tight nat. gas in America which means they DON’T NEED ALBERTA NAT. GAS OR OIL ANYMORE.. There is an old saying adapt to the conditions at hand or die. In a sense Ontario and Alberta could make beautiful music together. Alberta can refine its’ own bitumen and send the FINISHED OIL by the Twin Beaver pipelines along with nat. gas to the east [ Ont., Que, NB, NS and PEI ]. Any surplus could be exported  to the world market through Churchill Man. The provinces in the east can sent hydro KWs west to the tar sands on the cross Canada grid. Any such plan to bring energy benefits to the citizenry will be fought tooth and nail by the US oil cartel, pipeline firms, private energy businesses, bought politicians [ Harper ] and the ad media. The proposed Keystone pipe would have taken raw tar to Texas to restart idle refineries in Port Arthur after which the finished oil would have been sold to China. The only benefit from this scam would be One US oil company [ Valero ] and one Arab oil  company [ Saudi Aramco ].  The proposed Northern Gateway pipes will move raw tar from Alberta over the Rockies to the Pacific where it will be sent to refineries in California or China. There is no money in shipping raw bitumen out of the Country so as to make the Americans / Chinese rich. This is what we did early in our history and thus we were called drawers of water and hewers of wood. Herr Harper beckons us to return to those days. If we become again drawers and hewers the reponsibility will be totally on our shoulders. If so it will be a matter of us choosing to go meekly as lambs to a slaughter administered by the RIGHT.
