NOPE!

Introduction:

I ran across this article while surfing the other day and I was compelled to publish it here for you, my audience. It was written back in 2010 and was an astute warning of the evil to come.  Nobody listened and evil struck the election Harpo gained his majority  and here we are with stupid on his throne. This was a forewarning of the predictive powers of his speech to the Council for National Policy back in 2010 and it is revelatory. Ms. Dee shares my contempt for Harper and her commentary on that speech is one I wish I had written. I wanted to present this prediction because it has been 4 years since it was made and everything she warns us of has been coming true.

I also wanted to publish this to educate all the younger people who are really fed up with Fearless Leader why he is the monster he is. All of you people 30 and under have only paid attention to Harpo and witnessed his flaws for the past 9 years. How much attention did you pay to politics as a teenager? I and Ms. Dee have known of his shortcomings for the past twenty year and we have both watched with contempt as he has slithered up the Political Totem Pole. What follows is a lesson in in political history from a different perspective. Ms. Dee was cynical in 2010 when she wrote this article and concluded it with the statement .

“It's frightening really, but it shows what happens when you don't pay attention.”

I wonder what she would say today

To begin:

A CULTURE OF DEFIANCE:

History of the Reform-Conservative Party of Canada

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

In 1997, Stephen Joseph Harper, our current, at least current to my writing this, Prime Minister; was asked to give a speech on the Canadian political system, to the Council for National Policy, a secretive American lobby group, who were meeting in Montreal. CNP is an influential right-wing organization founded by Tim LaHaye and James Dobson, and in many ways is the military arm of the Religious Right in the United States.

Tim Lahaye is the co-author, along with Jerry B. Jenkins, of an enormously successful series of books, called Left Behind. These books have formed the foundation of Christians United for Israel, a religious group pushing for the annihilation of Muslims in the Middle East, as a step on their road to Armageddon. CUFI's founder John Hagee, calls it "God's Foreign Policy".

Their Canadian head is Charles McVety, a man who has a lot of clout with our current government and enjoys not only ready access to people like Jason Kenney (Immigration), Stockwell Day (Treasury) and Jim Flaherty (Finance), but also Stephen Harper himself.

James Dobson is the founder of Focus on the Family, an anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti-public school, organization; that includes several of Harper's MPs; like Maurice Vellacott, Rob Anders, and Brad Trost. The Canadian founder of Focus on the Family, Darrel Reid, is now Harper's deputy chief of staff.

Dobson assisted in Harper's political success by running a series of radio ads in Canadian cities against same-sex marriage; an issue that Harper then adopted as part of his reaching out to the social conservatives.

When that 1997 speech first surfaced during the 2005-2006 federal election, it raised a lot of red flags, once again adding fuel to the fear of Stephen Harper's "Hidden Agenda".

Many quotes were pulled from it, and the Liberal campaign included bits and pieces. It is believed that it actually cost the Reform-Conservatives a majority government.

But I've read that speech several times, and what I get from it is arrogance: An arrogance that implies that we are all wrong, but we're too ignorant to even know that we are all wrong. That only he can see the error of our ways.

Now, having given you a compliment, let me also give you an insult. I was asked to speak about Canadian politics. It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians.

What was the point of that remark? He's speaking to Americans, about Canadians.

First, facts about Canada. Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it. Canadians make no connection between the fact that they are a Northern European welfare state and the fact that we have very low economic growth, a standard of living substantially lower than yours, a massive brain drain of young professionals to your country, and double the unemployment rate of the United States.

In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half, don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance. (1)

It's almost like an attack ad. Very much the way he acts in Parliament now against his political opponents, only in this case, it was against the Canadian people.

It wasn't a clever speech. There were no great pearls of wisdom. It was flip and if he was actually trying to educate this group on Canadian politics, it would have only created confusion. He talks about 'Whigs' without explaining who they were. States that most Catholics vote Liberal for 'reasons he didn't want to get into.' Why bring it up at all if he wasn't going to qualify it?

We do get a glimpse into his ideology when he refers to women's rights as 'feminist' rights, and "... including some that would just horrify you, putting universal Medicare in our constitution.." What is so horrifying about universal Medicare?

If I were in the audience, I definitely would never have got the impression that this was a man with political aspirations. If he wrote that speech it was grade eight at best.

"...and a whole bunch of fairly non-conservative economic things."

" ... and a whole bunch of other things"

But I think that it helps to define this movement. It has always been about protest and arrogance and ignorance. They adhere to the Old Testament and have a view of Canada as being in moral decay. They want to return to the "good old days" when women knew their place and there was prayer in school, and a sea of white faces.

In it's seventy-five year history, there have only ever really been five leaders: William Aberhart, Ernest Manning, his son Preston Manning, Stockwell Day and Stephen Harper, and their political views have not progressed but stagnated.

Their arrogance is born of ignorance. And rather than try to raise the level of debate, they want to bring it down to their level. Experts in their field are "elites", well-educated are reduced to "university types", advocates are "fringe-groups".

There is no desire to move Canada forward only dismantle it and strip it down. Isolate us from our former allies with high-handed foreign policy, and a refusal to co-operate. Base our laws on the Bible and our future on Biblical prophesy.

They have made Canadian politics so toxic that our very democracy is at risk. Secrecy is the order of the day and their media control is alarming.

This is a movement that was founded on anti-Semitism, nurtured on racism, and fuelled by extremism. And every time a party they create is exposed, they simply re-invent themselves, but using the same old worn out parts. Social Credit - Reform - Alliance - Conservative. The only thing that really changes is the name.

And what will their legacy be? Will we even recognize this country when they're through? Can their damage be repaired?

People who once lived on the fringe, are now in control and they have aligned themselves with the most extreme elements, here and in the United States. It's frightening really, but it shows what happens when you don't pay attention.

Hopefully, you'll pay attention now.

A Nasty, Nasty, Nasty Fax to A Nasty, Nasty, Nasty Cop

To Staff Sergeant Peter Valiquette

To all my readers and helpers: I wrote this post about two weeks ago but held off publishing because it might have aroused enough anger in Copville Madoc to jeopardize the outcome of Mary’s Kamermans appearance at court yesterday morning. That was stupid on our part. We were hoping for a dismissal of charges but all we got was another six months of her persecution simply because she is Rob’s wife. By the time she gets to pre-trial it will be over 18 months of harassment and stress from financial straits because they have had no real income except pension since the raid. Just goddamn despicable. I intend to try to do something about that in a future post.
Rob had reservations about this post fearing repercussions.
it has nopthing to do with him. This is my bitch.

Attn: Staff Sergeant Peter Valiquette

Dear Sergeant Valiquette:

Are you in charge of Central Hastings or are you not?

My name is Blaine Barrett. I am a Medical Marijuana Advocate.

I have a blog

Medical Marijuana with TheSmeeGoanGuy.

and

I have a problem with the way that you are running your detachment.

If it is not you who is responsible for the way officers in the Central Hastings Detachment conduct themselves in the discharge of their duties, please pass this on to your boss. I’m sorry that I don’t have that individuals name but tracing responsibility in the OPP is impossibility. Even if you know the guys name and rank I got lucky and found you as the first in the chain of command covering Coe Hill.

If you were in your current position of power on January 26, 2012 you had to be the individual who authorized the “Nazi attack” on Dr. Rob Kamermans office. Today you must be the one sanctioning his subsequent evil and vindictive persecution by officers under your command.

I am sorry to inform you that there is now no anonymity available and your responsibility and role in what I consider a major violation of Canadian Law cannot be avoided.

1.    The first question I have is what legal provision permits the invasion of privacy of  4000 files of confidential and secret Patient information on the basis of the one warrant for a Doctors office? The medical records are the property of the Doctor but files and the information held in the Records are the property of the patient. My interpretation of law is that each and every one of them was entitled to a separate warrant unless each one of the seized files was named in the wording of the warrant for the contents of the Doctor’s Office.

Your chief Sergeant Mark Duval delivered the warrant to the Doctor. He then used its authority to not only invade the privacy of those files, but seized them for inspection of their contents and then hold them in custody despite all requests for their release by the patients whose property they are. Today all the utility of the documentation contained in the Medical records has ceased to be any use and that made all 4000 renewals nearly impossible. Health Canada doesn’t grant renewals based on verbal evidence. Why is he still refusing access to the hard stuff. Why are you letting him pull stuff like this? Won’t he obey you? 

2.    You have been, and still are, permitting Sergeant Rob Henderson to intentionally and vindictively attack -Dr. Kamermans reputation. He is intentionally trying to destroy Rob’s complete support system as punishment, not for crimes but for allegations! Rob Henderson has already judged and convicted him before the courts have even brought him to trial. I interpret this attack on his financial base as a direct attempt to compound his difficulties in defending himself against what are politically motivated bullshit charges!

3.    It had to be you who approved payment for the expense of Rob Henderson unnecessarily sending two constables all the way to Sturgeon Falls to arrest Rob there. All that was gained was 7 hours until he got home from work. The act was intentional and the Henderson knew full well that to remove him from mid shift in the Emergency Room would compromise his employment not to mention putting the entire community at risk? The community both of you are sworn to protect

Why did you authorize punishment on the day of his arrest?

4.    You are also the one who authorized notification to three banks (the base of all his financial support), that Dr. Kamermans had been charged and was a criminal of some sort. All his transactions were probably connected to proceeds of a drug kingpin? You or someone in your command intentionally extorted the banks to report any and all financial transactions: that provided the basis for his arrest for Breach of Bail when the Credit Union advised you of his transfer of Mortgage money to the US. 

5.    Were you the one who authorized his arrest on that Breach of Bail “bullshit”? It was a complete fabrication that enabled Henderson to not only override a Crown decision to release him because it was a “bullshit charge”, but also to hold him over the weekend simply to inconvenience and punish the Heinous Criminal he apparently fantasizes he has captured.

6.    Are you the one who allows your Constables to verbally assault and harass his patients like Constable Mark Moore does with his phony traffic violations? Scare the shit out of his customer to ensure he’s broke? Despicable!

7.    What is even more despicable is that you permit your officers to intentionally gather at popular local gathering spots and slander the good doctor.

I’d like some clarification and some answers as to what gives you the authority to sanction all this Fascist bullshit in Central Hastings but I naturally don’t expect any from you. You don’t blow the whistle on your buddies and superiors in a hierarchy based on "Nazi principles".

I do want an answer to Question Number one:

You, as his superior, were the one who advised Sergeant Duval the he could legally invade and confiscate all the patient files removed from Dr. Kamermans office,

What legal basis were you using to justify the invasion of privacy

of 4000 patient files on the basis of the single warrant used?

I have to assume that you know the law you are enforcing I want to know what that legal basis is because nobody seems to know. Everybody from the Prime Minister down the daisy chain of irresponsibility has pled ignorance. You can’t do that because you ordered the dirty deed. I want an answer to that question and I’m not going away.

You can’t plead ignorance and claim you were only following orders! That line of bullshit went out with the Nuremburg War Trials and finking on your boss is a no-no with the Skull and Crossbones club. Who do you report to by the way and could you please provide his contact details?

On the other hand you could be totally ignorant of what goes on under your command. That is a somewhat frequent occurrence in OPP operations. If that is indeed the case then please refer me to someone who does, or better yet, go to my blog at

Goan-Smee.blogspot.ca

Read my last post about Evil and Vindictiveness.

It’s in the archive list on the right.

It’s very educational. Enjoy!

At this point it’s your ball Sergeant, the ball is in your court.

I’m now just going to leave it with you. See what creative CYA answer you and your superiors can come up with.

You can waffle and dodge on all the above questions except the primary one for a legal justification for the mass invasion of privacy that took place?

I await your answer

Why the GOP Doesn’t Love Chris Christie

I think I Found a Ruby in the Rubbish Heap

An Honest Politician?

I got up early this morning and was just surfing the news when I happened on an article in the Daily Beast titled “Why the GOP Doesn’t Love Chris Christie”. I’d give you a link but its 3 lines long and not worth clicking on unless you like him. I’m a fan because he’s the only politician in North America who actually speaks his mind and backs it up with common sense reasoning.

The article has two main points that I thought were worth notice:

1.     Compromise and how you get there,

2.     Fat retirement benefits of our political Aristocracy.

It’s a reality that both our governments have fallen into gridlock and hostility: Canada because of Stephen Harper and his majority. He has the ability to ram shit down people’s throat with no explanation or justification. He loves to do so: a perfect example is the MMPR. We can’t get rid of him and he’s free to fuck up the country until the next election. Woe is us!
The U.S. has had the unfortunate experience of having government ranks corrupted by a handful of Tea Party assholes. Having been elected they are now free to fuck up the system until their next election. Woe is them!
Following I quote from that article:
 “We have to find ways to compromise with each other,” Christie said. “The place is so dysfunctional; they so don’t talk to each other, they so dislike each other that they can’t get to the common-sense point. I have said this all along with Jersey. I have argued all the time with the legislature. You heard me say a bunch of stuff about the Democrats in the legislature this morning. But I don’t have the luxury to hate. I have a job to do. You elected me to accomplish something, not just to occupy a space.
“I am not going to compromise my principles, because that is who I am, and that is why you elected me. But there is always a boulevard between getting everything you want and compromising your principles. There is always some space there, and the job of a governor or any executive is to find that space.”

Can you imagine it? Christie is honest, has principles and managed to get elected to a position of power. Fortunately for Stephen he didn’t have to overcome those obstacles: Lying is second nature to him and he has no idea what principles or decency is.

Also worthy of note is Christie’s assessment of his political peers. That group, the bureaucrats, were, in Christie’s telling, a bunch of greedy paper pushers lining their pockets with the public’s money, especially in retirement. I quote:

“If we are going to pay these folks these exorbitant sums of money, you should be able to give it to them personally. I think that when one of these guys retires, we should have a little party down at the town hall in Parsippany, for instance,” the governor said to guffaws from the crowd. “Every person who lives in Parsippany gets to come in with their check for their share of the money. It would be like the wedding line! You would go in and you would say to them, ‘Great service, congratulations. Here is my $120 for your sick time.’ And at least then you would get a thank you!”
If only that could happen up here: Maybe then someone like Bev Oda wouldn’t be able to screw up, resign under a cloud and then keep sucking the left hind tit of the public purse for the rest of her life. At $16 a glass she can afford to buy truckloads with her ill gotten gains. May she choke on it.
I wonder what revelations and opinion he’s going to come up with next?

Harper and his Conservative Fools Never Differ

Harper and his Conservative Fools Never Differ

Great Minds Think Alike

WE already knew THAT!

So What?

The man who wrote this went all out with his comments and I couldn't agree more. I have no idea who he was and the article is obviously plagiarized, but it tells it like it is and I think most of my readers will find themselves in complete agreement. If you do, I hereby grant you the right to join

F.R.O.G.S

Fraternal Order of Grizzled Sarcastics

I'm telling the crooked politicians the way it really is. Too many blind voters keep them in office!

I don't think pissed really covers it!

Harper's conservatives call senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Old Age Security " to a Milk Cow with 34 million teats.

Well, here's my response........

"Hey Stephen, let's get a few things straight!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for many, many years.

2. I have been paying taxes since I was 18 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Old Age Security payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning CanadianSocial Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of Canadian seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying into health care from day one, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from health care to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the Canadian taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1. How much money have you earned from the Canadian taxpayers during your pathetic political career?

2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive in annual retirement benefits from the Canadian taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called "The Harper Government" who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted Canada and stolen the dream of a decent retirement from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers: And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.

That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted Canada for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
