I have written a number of posts on the Harper killings at Lac – Megantic. The petro $ media, has since that time feverously tried to change the channel on behalf of Harper and the oil monopoly. But reality, something that Steve just hates intervened, that CN derailment in Gainford Alberta blew up. The railway said it was propane that caught fire or was the Company cooking the books again? Just like CP. I suspect Benzine. There are billions of dollars at stake here, getting that cheap tar out of Alberta and transporting it[ via ancient pipelines or obsolete rail tank cars ] to Texas and California to the idle heavy oil refineries there. Once the Alberta Tar / Benzine mix is refined in the USA the resulting oil / gasoline / diesel products are offered to the world market. American drivers never see a gallon of that gasoline. It is another Republican myth. The only beneficiaries of the wealth thus created are the US oil monopoly, TransNotCanada, Enbridge, Kinder Morgan, CN Rail, CP Rail, the petro $ media [ Star / Globe /Post ] and Herr Harper along with his Fascist friends. The losers are all those who live along the pipelines both in Canada and the USA. Also those who live along railway lines here and Stateside. Alberta only gets a royalty of eight percent, not enough to clean up the tailing ponds and the environmental damage caused by the US tar monopoly, pipelines and railways in the Province. And in one case the monopoly did not even pay the Province $ 100,000 it owed in royalties. That matter is now before the Court. For gods sake, Venezuela takes a 32% royalty cut. What kind of patsies are these Albertans? But they voted for Herr Harper didn’t they. That just about sums things up doesn’t it. Lyin Steve screws Albertans just like he does the rest of us. The difference is that we know we are being screwed by Harper and the oilies. Albertans are oblivious, they don’t even budge when the monopoly hurts them. They drop their pants, bend over with never a complaint. Harper’s employer, the monopoly always have to come out on top. Since the cargo being moved is tar the oil tax doesn’t apply either in Canada or the USA. The monopoly doesn’t have to pay the oil spill levy either because, you guessed it the stuff is tar NOT OIL. This is a sweetheart deal granted to the oil monopoly by the Republicans. The heavy oil refineries mentioned above are in duty free / tax free areas in Texas and California. While actually on American soil the monopoly pays no taxes to the US Government. Another sweetheart deal, thanks to the Republicans. The monopoly get a free ride thanks to the Republicans and Harper Fascists. Everybody else gets the broken end of the broom. Next time Joe Oiliver shows up on your TV, watch closely to see if he subscribes to the above outline in which I have described the American oil monopoly as winning every time the double headed coin is tossed. Or he will say Canadians will be the big tar winners, hands down. And all his other lies. The monopoly can’t get the tar out of Alberta by pipeline or rail unless it is mixed with Benzine as the thinner. The environmental regulations regarding the handling, use and transportation of Benzine are very strict in the US or in Europe. Here, Herr Harper has either removed the environmental restrictions regarding Benzine or he is not enforcing the regulations. Either Benzine explodes and fries you. Or the Benzine gas asphyxiates you. It is almost certain that the survivors of Megantic Oue. and Gainford Alta. [ among others ] have had their lives shortened by breathing Benzine fumes. In other word Donnie and Dollie Canadian you and your family are up shit creek without a paddle. There is nobody of note in your corner. Little wonder there are protest going on all over the Country. Do we storm the Bastille now, before the fires consume us or we die choking, accompanied by our love ones. Or do we wait quietly for the grim reaper [ Steve Harper ] to come fetch us. In this case the reaper carries a can of Benzine and a torch. Not a scythe. Queen’s Park has a role to play in this endangerment of Canadians which includes Ontarians. The Legislature has to step in but forget about Kathleen Wynne. She is a puppet for the Liberal Party machine, they loves Albert Tar / Benzine and nuclear. Kathleen is already in bed with Russ Girling, CEO of TransNotCanada. Russ is good buddies with Dalton McGuinty. Girling reamed Ontarians on the gas plants cancellation. You can be sure the McGuint is still pulling in his cut from that little deal. From this day forward our MPPs will bear some responsibility for any Enbridge fire balls, they have been forewarned. If Ontarians get fried the MPPs will be partly to blame. Enbridge is playing fast and loose with the truth in regards to the reversal of Pipe #9 [ 50 years old ]. The National Energy Board stooges, appointed by Harper will not allowed anyone to contradict the Company. Its’ hearings have been closed down. No doubt Herr Harper intervened. Same as Harper’s Senators, he is going to pass sentence without a trial. Duff, Pam and Pat have passed their best before date. Steve doesn’t seem realize the Spanish inquisition disappeared 500 years ago. Hello Steve, we defeated Nazi Germany in 1945. You are wasting your trying to revive the Reich and the title of Fuhrer. If Enbridge does start pumping Alberta Tar mixed with Benzine through No # 9 we can expect a explosion and fireballs somewhere in Southern Ontario. Queen’s Park must step in to protect the citizens from being fried by Enbridge. The quartz sand in the unrefined tar scours the inside of steel pipes making them thinner \ weaker over time. That is why Enbridge has had so many spills [ most covered up by the press ]. Poor / old welds are quickly sanded away. This also applies to bends and elbows which restrict the flow of the tar. The Liquified Crude Bitumen [ correct name for tar mixed with Benzine] has to be pushed at a higher pressure than oil. The abrasive properties in the tar causes the pipes to run very hot, at 150 deg F rather than the design limit of 70 deg F. All of the pressure gauges which are supposed to warn the company of a spill have their diaphragms sanded away quickly and thus are rendered useless. The NEB clowns will never hear such things. Even if they did they are too stupid to comprehend. In terms of the shutoff valves, the sand destroys the seats and they end up just like your leaky kitchen tap. If a pipe blows the control centre will not know for hours. But when the flaming geyser is finally discovered, there would already have been a huge loss of life. Enbridge would not be able to turn the tar off because the valves wouldn’t work. Can you imagine Number # 9 blowing up at Finch and Bathurst Sts. Toronto firefighters would think they are dealing with what Enbridge, Paul Godfrey’s National Post and David Thomson’s Globe and Tar describe as OIL. If you go back 3 years. Pat Daniel, CEO of Enbridge lied about the Kalamazoo tar spill and Benzine gas cloud.. For more than a week Pat claimed that it was OIL that spilled. THE PAPERS KEEP MISTAKENLY CALLING ALBERTA TAR MIXED WITH BENZINE [] OIL [] HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF TIMES. The only petroleum resource being shipped out of Canada right now is tar. Godfrey got more than $ 2 million ad money from the American oil monopoly since December 2012 to sing the oilie’s song. Thomson’s Globe got over $ 800,000 during the same period to stay mum on the subject of tar / Benzine and fried Quebecers. So what we would be facing in Toronto is the possibility of deaths coming in waves. If No # 9 blows and the Benzine ignites at Finch and Bathurst hundreds of people will be fried not just 47 like at Megantic. Then the firefighters would rush in to deal with what they think is an oil spill. Now the citizenry has been assured that it will be OIL flowing through Pipe No # 9 by Enbridge, the National Energy Board, the Post, the Globe and Joe Oiliver to name a few. So the first responders would die from the flaming Benzine gas because they would have no HAZMAT gear. The Enbridge blow torch would keep pouring out flames and the heat from the fire would begin to melt the pipe ends back going east and west because as I have said the shut off valves would not work. There would be more victims as the conflagration spread. Once Enbridge finally admitted that they were lying [ again ] and Al Monaco informed the authorities that they were facing pressurized tar and Benzine gas the search for the proper protective HAZMAT equipment [ Hazardous Material protective clothing and breathing apparatus ] would have to begin . Where would such HAZMAT stuff be found and how quick could it get here? The firefighters couldn’t prepared for such an event ahead of time unless they knew what was in the pipe. By law, companies are required by the Province to list hazardous materials stored in their buildings so the firemen / firewomen know of the dangers as they approach. The same laws must be applied to pipelines and rail lines. A new Premier should be saying, give us the details of what you are carrying pipelines and railways or you don’t get into Ontario, period. Why are Enbridge, TransNotCanada, Kinder Morgan, CN and CP permitted to lie. American oil monopoly profits maybe? The Hi Tension hydro lines along the Finch utility corridor would melt and much of the GTA would go dark. The natural gas lines would start blowing up and have to be turned off. Hundreds of house and condo would be destroyed with continuing loss of life. North General Hospital would be flattened along with churches, synagogues, schools and community centres. Hundreds of businesses would be destroyed along with billion in inventory. And you know what Enbridge would do??? They would declare bankruptcy like M. M and A at Megantic did and just bugger off. The shareholders of Enbridge would lose everything. Their stock would be worthless. However the executives of Enbridge, like Al Monaco / Leon Zupan would cash in their chips and move on never to be pursued by the Post or Globe or any government. That’s what bribes are for aren’t they? It would seem that everyone of consequence in this matter has deserted the people in return for oil money. Now Enbridge is threatening to close the line if the NEB says no to the reversal. That’s great. In earlier posts I explained how the Canadian Provincial Energy Corp, after building the Twin Beaver pipeline from Fort McMurray to Toronto and Montreal would need an existing Ontario / Quebec pipeline for distribution. I suggested back then expropriating Enbridge No # 9. But if the clods at Enbridge close No # 9 in a snit because they can’t have their own way like Harper does, good. Then CPEC will be able to get Nine for a song. My Twin Beaver pipeline idea [ twin pipes carrying crude oil and nat. gas from Fort McMurray to Toronto / Montreal /Maritimes. This idea is getting cheaper with each passing day.
*********************************************************************
I was prompted to write this piece in response to an Editorial about the tar sands in Paul Godfrey’s National Post. This Editorial was all about misinforming YOU, making a sucker out of YOU. Those who write for the Post would have done well in Goebbel’s Propaganda Ministry. Said newspaper was started by a big time loser and convicted criminal, [ Conrad Black ] who has spent his lifetime cheating, lying and stealing. I was in business for more than 50 years. I never went broke and my businesses were not founded on theft so I am qualified to speak on what an honest business should look like. There are a few very weak minded people who have written letters to the Godfrey’s paper praising the Conman as being a great Canadian businessman. Businessman my ass. Conrad, while illegally in this Country, lives in Harperland with his best buddy Steve. Someone he got to know back in Neo Nazi days. With Black and Steve everything gets made up, they formulate their own laws and they continually tell lies and are fully backed by the $ media. Black started cheating students when he was a teenage at UCC and never stopped stiffing people since then. He stole a business from two unsuspecting widows. Conrad purloined the worker’s pension fund at Dominion Stores among other heists. Black continually threatens to sue people who cross him. Imagine a Canadian disagreeing with his Lordship, terrible. When one sits on the right hand of Herr Harper one is beyond the reach of the little people as Lady Black likes to call us. The National Post has lost money since the day it opened. It is said that the Paper lost $ 210 million before Conrad even sold it. See, he even stiffed the buyers of the Post. Again, Black good at business, my ass. The whole shebang went broke and his investors lost. That’ll larn em. Black is poison to investors, they can’t win. Connie either loses investors money or steals it. Blackie has destroyed every company he ever touched. The derelict Post was bought by a New York hedge fund, something that is illegal. Our media must be majority owned by Canadians. The National Post setup breaks the law but who ever heard of Harper respecting Canadian law??? Soon Lyin Steve will be plucking dissenters off the streets with no recourse. The Post is written expressly for the hard right wing and the Fascist establishment. They are so few in number that the Paper can’t actually make any money. When your only business is selling rotting fish it can be a problem. Black should have known better than to start the Post to cater to an audience made up of white supremacists, anti gay / anti abortion zealots, Nietzsche cult members who think themselves exceptional, religious intolerants, anti democrats, Sociopaths, cheats, liar, thieves, anti human rights commission supporters, right wing Supreme Court Justices and anti educational types. BellMedia caters to the same market. The Alberta Report magazine which was started by Ted Byfield in 1979 covered all the same ground as outlined above and went bankrupt in 2003. There were just not enough Canadians willing to buy Ted’s tripe even with the support of Preston Manning, Stephen harper and the Reform Party. Business is business. Political and religious activities don’t mix in well. Balance is the key. Harper and his band of Fascists are really a very small group who are limited to stealing elections in order to grab power. To gain traction in a democracy where the aim is to take control from the citizenry the right with the aid of the $ media MUST RIG ELECTIONS AND CHEAT, just as Hitler did. This is what the Republicans were / are / will be up to in the USA. That is why that Country is in such tough shape. Harper is dragging us into the same dark alley fully supported by the newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. The Tea Party is a small US outfit supported by unlimited oil monopoly money and look at the problems they have caused. The Tea Baggers have no respect for the US system of democracy. Most of them are Sociopaths who lie and who believe in their own lies. Our Harper has graduated from being a Sociopath to a Psychopath due to his killing Quebecers in Megantic. I have been watching Herr Harper for 30 years and he has always told lies and run away when times got tough. I could never figure out how the press were so soft on Harper? A man like his Grandfather, mentally ill. Then a journalist spilled the beans. Conrad Black saw promise in the young wimp, Steve Harper. So Connie instructed the editors of his many Canadian papers to keep a thumb on the scale in terms of the boy who would be king. Now these instructions did not affect the other papers but, but, but, individual journalistsat other papers in this Country were ever mindful of future job opportunities. So Canadian patriots as they are, chose to go along with Black to get along. Or get a job? They did not want to be removed from Black’s list of potential employees so they went easy on Stevie. Some patriots. So our little Stevereeno was permitted to tell his lies, run away, then return and he was never called on the carpet. After 30 years of living in Harperland, his lying has landed him in big trouble over the Senate scandal and lying to Parliament. Harper is so used to lying and having nobody question him or talk back. Now he is faced with Tom Mulcair, Justin Trudeau, Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. They are all back talking and Harper doesn’t know what to do about it? It is important for Steve to have pansies like Nigel Wright around him. Who knows where silent Nige is right now? Shivering in a closet. Thus Steve is now left to keep repeating his previous lies over and over, again and again. I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we seize Nigel and put him on the rack. A little stretching and I am sure he would come clean. If we had anything other than an obedient Harper press, Wright would have been hunted down long ago and we’d now have the real story. Hitler controlled the press by force. Harper controls the press with threats and oil monopoly cash. Now knowing the friendship of Harper and Black in the early days you can see why Steve let this criminal into our Country. The Conman destroyed his newspaper empire and ran away to the UK. Then Connie was jailed in the USA and disowned by the Brits. Now Black is in Canada because he is afraid to face London England. We must put Harper in jail and then Conrad will be a goner. The next Government in Ottawa will put Lord and Lady Black in steerage on a cattle boat bound for London England. I’d even help pay their fare.
**********************************************************************
There is one small item in a National Post column [ may 10 / 13 ] by the BIG MOUTH, David Booth, that speaks large to the kind of Paper Paul Godfrey runs. As you know I hate GM products. They have always manufactured rust buckets and still do to -day. In aviation we solved rust and corrosion 75 years ago. My last GM was a 1974 Chev, awful. As you walk through a mall look around. The rusty cars are GM, Chrysler and Ford, always have been, always will be. They save a little money not using undercoat and the vehicles don’t last. In terms of the VOLT, I hate this piece of junk even more. GM fell behind Toyota by ignoring the Prius and the Motors scrapped their EV1 electric car as soon as the omission restrictions in California were defeated by George Bush Jr., the American oil monopoly, GM and Ford. So this bunch worked their evil to ensure that the kids in California would continue to suffer from high rates of asthma. Thus Generous Motors ended up having no hybrid and no electric car. The management got caught with their flaps down. A GM executive even called the Prius a Geekmobile. Ya right, Toyota has $ 16 billion in cash in the bank. GM eat your heart out. The Company had crushed all of the EV1 after they promised to keep them. So how could GM recover from their bout with idiocy. The Company came up with an idea for a car that was half fish and half bird. Something that couldn’t swim and couldn’t fly, typical GM fare. The VOLT was the result, a millstone which was classified as a hybrid by the American Society of Automotive Engineers [ SAE ]. However GM decided to sell it as an electric car and then claimed it was far better than the rest of the electrics. It was and is a hoax. The VOLT had tremendous range GM said, something electric cars can’t promise. This was accomplished by connecting the engine to a generator. So far so good. Then GM attached the other end of the generator to the wheels. The Company said since the engine was not directly connected to the wheels it was an electric car. The SAE said otherwise. I think McGuinty got paid off by GM [ another monthly cheque for our boy Dalt ] because he promoted the VOLT as an electric car. Devious Dalt even wrote special Ont. Legislation to give the VOLT a considerable advantage over the competition. So much for free enterprise. I am convinced McGuinty still gets payoffs from the nukies, the oilies and GM. I think even though the McGuint is hiding down in Harvard his graft payments are still going to his wife in their free nukie house. To design an electric car that is actually a hybrid underneath required much more gadgetry and electronics. So the VOLT owner has to pay for a lot more machinery that either an electric car or a hybrid contains. That is why the price is so much higher. Now GM is giving the VOLTs away, losing at least $10,000 per copy. Not a wise move seeing that the Company is $ 60 billion in debt. The saying, so goes General Motors, so goes the USA could not be more true. David Booth of the Post is obviously on the GM payroll. In almost every one of his columns Dave says something nice about GM even if he has to make it up. Dave must be getting oil monopoly cheques now too because he is writing oil monopoly propaganda. I have watched for a number of years trying to find out if Booth even owns a tool box. I clip his columns. He writes a good game but it is the small items that give him away as a phony. In my view Booth doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground in terms of car mecanicals. He is primarily a journalist who dabbles in autos and sells his soul to the highest bidder. He always calls the VOLT an electric car which I have said IT IS MOST DECIDEDLY NOT THE CASE. In any event, his May 10 / 13 piece finally answered my question. Therein Booth made the following statement which, fits nicely into the Harperland atmosphere of present day National Post. I quote him, ” The Prius hybrid is most definitely not an electric car. Purists [ example SAE * KS ], always the contrarians [ anyone who disagrees with Booth * KS ], take the opposite tact, defining an electric vehicle as anything powered by batteries alone [ SAE * KS ]. By this definition [ SAE * KS ] then the Chevy VOLT is not an electrical vehicle [ SAE * KS ]. But we at [] Post Driving [] consider the VOLT AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE “. So there you have it. I would guess the Post Driving Department is really made up of David Booth, a receptionist and the guy who takes out he garbage. It is this Nietzsche myth again. Deciding you are an exceptional person based on no proof or test. This is the newspaper world of to – day, make it up, print spin, publish oil monopoly propaganda and Harper’s attack ads. So if Paul Godfrey / Dave Booth decide a bushel of apples is really apple juice then that is the world we now live in and accept. A democracy is at its’ best when populated with educated voters. The hard right seeks to do the opposite, keep the masses ignorant. And that is what David Booth is up to. He wants you to be stupid. How much longer will it be before there is a knock in the night, no trial, the rumble of the cattle car wheels on the tracks and the concentration camp gate clanging behind those who disobey Herr Harper??? Don’t look to Steve’s trained seal MPs or his Fascist Senators for relief. They serve a madman backed by unlimited American oil monopoly money.
*******************************************************************
Oh yes, Paul Godfrey’s Post Editorial [ Oct. 22 / 13 ]. The title is, ” Helping Alberta’s oil reach the world “. First off, the only thing being shipped out of Canada these days is tar mixed with Benzine. To call these resources OIL is just another one of the lies Godfrey tells with each issue of the Post. But that is what Paul is paid to do. His Editorial is not meant to inform you. It is meant to brainwash you. The Editorial mentions OIL twelve times. This piece was written by public relations people working for the American oil monopoly. The monopoly badly needs pipelines to get the tar out of Alberta. Using obsolete rail tank cars is only a stop gap measure. CP / CN know that. These rail companies are not going to invest in new tankers. The building of the Keystone to the USA and Gateway / Kinder Morgan pipelines through the Rockies are a foregone conclusions. They will be forced on Canadians by Harper backed by oil monopoly money. If you are following the railroading of Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau in the Senate you can see how much your rights are worth? Fuck all. These senators are insiders and they have had their rights stripped away by Harper. But being a Psychopath Steve never plunges the knife in himself. The sixteen Psychopathic behaviours are listed on the net. Much of the creepy behaviour applies to Harper. One of them is the need to find weak people who can be manipulated and made to follow orders like John Tory. Canada may have gone past the point of no return? By stealing the 2011 election backed by oil monopoly money our democracy may now be out of reach. The Republicans aided by the oil monopoly eliminated democracy in California. Now matter what the majority wants in Calif. their will has no force in law. The oilies run that State now with the assistance of Republican lackeys. It is interesting that in Godfrey’s Editorial bitumen is mentioned only once, in relation to the railways. This is code for the pipelines are carrying OIL but the trains are carrying tar. The way this story is going to unfold is this. More than 70% of rail tank cars in Canada can’t legally carry Benzine. They are obsolete. But since Harper had turned CN / CP free to do as they see fit the railways are going haul as much Alberta Tar / Benzine as they possibly can over the short run. The general feeling is that the pipelines will eventually be built, Harper and the American oil monopoly will see to that. It doesn’t matter what Canadians think. Why would the railways invest in new tankers if the tar / rail business is going to eventually peter out? So the thrust by CN / CP will be to ship as much tar / Benzine as they can in the short run and ignore environmental damage, destruction to the lifestyles of those who live along the tracks and pay no attention to the deaths caused by derailments. The railways are going to run this sucker at max speed with the full support of the US oil monopoly, Herr Harper, CN / CP and the petro $ media [ Globe / Post ]. There are only two ways we can stop the Alberta Tar / Benzine scourge. Replace the Harper dictatorship. Or allow the bodies to continue to pile up. There will be a tipping point herein where Canadians finally say enough is enough. But by then the only option open may be an armed uprising of the people. Just as this post goes to bed Kathleen Wynne announced she will support the Enbridge reversal of Pipe No # 9. Wynne has obviously decided that the chances of Ontarians frying from exploding Benzine is rather remote. And that there will not be too many deaths. This is the kind of thinking that brought us Megantic. Lady Black would say, that the little people are expendable. Lady Wynne apparently agrees.
Maybe we should consider building a memorial at Queen’s Park on which to subscribe the names of Ontarians who die from the Black Death, either from being burned to a crisp or from the inhalation of Benzine gas?
***************************************************************
EXTRA EXTRA — All week long the debate on the Senate scandal has raged. Lyin Steve did not do well. Harper was peppered with questions which he did not answer clearly. In some of the exchanges Harper altered his story. This is a man who has been telling lies for 30 years and many of them have been verified after the fact. It was with great surprise that I heard about a broadcast on Bell Media Radio 1010 / CFRB which featured Stephen Harper being interviewed by John Tory. According to the net the interview last 6 minute. Now this is a PM who seldom answers anybody’s questions and rarely grants interviews. All of a sudden Harper appeared on CFRB on extremely short notice [ and other Bell Media radio stations across Canada ]. This, after the proceedings in the House had ended for the week. Now it is permissible in time of crisis for the Prime Minister to commandeer ALL radio / TV stations to speak about important national issues. But Harper appeared on only one network and just repeated the same things he has been saying for months. Where is the emergency? But Steve went further, he took punches at people who were not given the right by Bell Media to defend themselves or answer to his charges. Bell Media, which has business dealings with the Government by way of large subsidies looks to have granted Harper special privileges to say things that should have been said in the House. The Canadian air waves belong to the people, not to Harper and George Cope of Bell Media. For all I know this Harper / Tory broadcast could have gone out all across the Nation. Bell Media has many radio stations from sea to sea. It is obvious that some / all of them have been used to disseminate this Government propaganda. I am going to write a letter to the CRTC, the Commissioner of Complaints for Telecommunications Services and others in regards to this matter. We can’t have broadcasters cozying up to the Government and telling only one side of the story. This is the kind of thing that happened in Nazi Germany. Only one voice was heard. Dissenters were not only not allowed equal time on the air, many of those who disagreed with Hitler were shot. When do we see a repeat of this in Canada. Harper is getting close, he is already busy building new jails. In the matter of this special appearance Steve has been much aided by Bell Media. Do we as owners of the air waves allow George Cope to use them as the means to secure Government favours?
