2014 - What’s Ahead?

2014 - What’s Ahead?

Let me look!

Not a lot of good!

What have we got for openers Jan 1, 2014?

A Slap in the Face from Health Canada for Starters

We’ve got a Government determined to cash in on Marijuana profits at the expense of the patients who need it for Medical relief. The Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations have little or no relevancy or help for Doctors or Patients. The rules are laid down; both become casualties to greed and are dumped. 90% of the pages and regulations of the MMPR are concerned with the operation of a bloated, over regulated micro-managed commercial enterprise doomed to failure.

Why do I come to this conclusion?: Because I found this recent ultimatum from Health Canada to the College od Physicians and Surgeons of  Ontario on Christmas Eve posted as Comment #49 in the CPSO Consultation Discussions.

The Comment did not identify the source only the text.

Feedback re: Medical Marjjuana Policy

Introduction:

Health Canada has determined that the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) Program will be completed by March 31, 2014 and in its place will remain the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) program. The MMPR program is quite different from the MMAR in a number of ways.

Health Canada:

- Health Canada will no longer require that specialized forms be completed by physicians on behalf of patients.

- Health Canada will no longer be supplying medical marijuana for sale to patients.

-Health Canada will now be licensing private producers (called Licensed Producers, or LPs) who meet strict standards to grow and sell medical marijuana directly to patients who obtain a prescription-like "medical document" from their physician.

Patients:

- Patients are no longer separated into 2 categories based on their medical diagnoses.

- Patients will no longer be required to have a specialized, Health Canada form completed. Instead, the patient will be required to obtain a "medical document," similar to a prescription from a physician.

- Patients will no longer be able to grow cannabis for their own use.

- Patients will no longer be able to delegate a third party to grow on their behalf.

- Patients will no longer be able to purchase medical marijuana from Health Canada.

-The only route to accessing medical marijuana is for patients to send their "medical document" directly to a Licensed Producer of their choice and order medical marijuana to be delivered to their home, or to the office of their signing physician, if the physician consents to receive this.

1 Physicians:

- Physicians no longer need to separate patients into two categories based on their medical diagnoses.

- Physicians are required to complete an "original document" (essentially a prescription) in order to allow patients to access medical marijuana. A specialized form from Health Canada is no longer necessary.

- The "original document" will be required to include the following information: Patient Name, Date, DOB, number of grams per day, duration of prescription (up to 12 months), physician's name, office address, and license number.

Feedback: Following are the orders to Doctors by Health Canada. I took the liberty to insert my comments and posted it as a reply to Comment #49. I hope it survives moderation.

For crying out loud I almost feel sympathy for you Doctors. The arrogant a**holes at Health Canada bark and you’re supposed to comply and treat your patients like trash.

I beg to differ with Ottawa as follows:

1) Physicians should not feel required to prescribe medical marijuana to patients. Why not? If a patient qualifies and is asking for your help, how can you refuse? You are causing them harm in violation of your Oath not to by your refusal! Are you not going to refund the fee for the visit?I thought not!

2) Physicians prescribing medical marijuana should have some basic knowledge on the medical use of marijuana. Not unless the patient is new to Cannabis and as ignorant as most physicians. If a patient is using pot, find out how, then ask, listen and start recording what you observe in accordance with order #11, #12 and #13 below

3) Participation in CME should be recommended or even mandatory for those who choose to prescribe medical marijuana (e.g. attending

conferences, familiarization with the Health Canada "Information for Health Care Professionals" document as well as other research studies). The CME Continuing Medical Education program at theU of C Faculty of Medicine is just another bastion of bias. I don’t see them blasting the net to make doctors aware of any number of acceptable studies favorable to marijuana. One such prime example is the Harvard Study Cited in the Journal of Schizophrenia Research 

 http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/12/10/harvard-marijuana-doesnt-cause-schizophrenia/63148.html#.Urt4lvumbSg

The "Information for Health Care Professionals" document is a load of misinformation and distortion it’s better to avoid or you risk nausea.

4) Inform patients that marijuana is not an approved drug.

Why? Because some egocentric bastard back in 1923 decided to build a law Empire based on Classifying it as a Class 1 drug. Bull, that’s simply perpetuating a 70 year old myth..

5) Discuss that there is still a lack of clinical evidence for its use.

Bull again! There is any number of recent current testimonial cures on the Web but nobody from the profession is bothering to check them out. Many are supported by a Physician statement certifying his patient’s declaration that he has been cured of Cancer often with diagnostic evidence that cannot be denied. Now that is something actually constructive The U of C Faculty of Medicine could do!

6) Discuss the known risks associated with taking marijuana, including the fact that certain risks may still be unknown.

There are No Known Risks and the unknown ones are unknown. What’s to discuss?

7) Prior to prescribing medical marijuana, ensure that a proper diagnosis of a medical condition is made.

In combination with # 9 approach you patients with paranoia. They are all potential criminal and drug addicts and Health Canada wants to infect you with that perverted belief!

8) Consider screening for respiratory illness and heart disease prior to initiating treatment with medical marijuana.

Why? What justifies this if the patient has no pre-existing condition that warrants it? Nothing

9) Consider screening for diversion or use of other drugs of abuse

Simply more paranoia!

1 0) Discuss alternative treatment options with patients.

If there are any options be sure to discuss all the side effects and surgery to patients in graphic detail: Don’t sugar coat what they are going to go through if they follow your advice

11) Start slow and ensure proper follow up as clinically indicated.

Yes!

12) Develop ongoing relationship with patient, rather than writing prolonged prescription with no follow up.

Yes!

13) Physicians should be encouraged to conduct research studies and collect data in order to further our understanding of marijuana as medicine.

Yes!

14) A physician should only agree to accept delivery of medical marijuana for a patient, if the physician's office is equipped with a safe and secure storage area to store the marijuana in an organized fashion.

Just put it with your Heroin and Oxycontin supply on the second shelf of the fridge!

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you in helping

with this policy.

That will do for now but I will have more comment and questions regarding the future role of all the players after the New Year. Doctors, Lawyers,Producers and Media: all are problems that will have to be dealt with. Fortunately, Christmas is over and this won’t ruin it for you

This is Your Future: Old Age and Loneliness

A Wake-Up Call for the Boomers Kids

Time is Short

I was going to address this to what is called the Boomer generation only to find they are all old farts like me. The Boomers were born in the period 1946 to 1964 and now range in age from 49-67. They’re all too old to benefit from any advice I give because they are now learning the same difficult lessons I have had to absorb. First and foremost, Freedom 55 was a ridiculous idea and its failure revealed our whole generation’s lack of knowledge about how to manage money and plan for the future. If you’ve reached 60 without banking or investing that you can count on for a comfortable retirement, think again, there’s a rough road ahead

If today, you find yourself at retirement and you haven’t got that nest egg in a much protected state, then count on a shortage of yolk down the road. My son was born in 1964 so I guess I’m aiming this at all the Boomers little brats, not the parents. All of you readers who have reached the age of 50 are looking at a future where you will need to take advantage of all the Canadian Social Benefits that the Cons are determined to chop away at knee level. I’m not surprised at where we are in this country. for the last thirty years I have been watching an amoral control freak crawl his way up the political guts of our society to a leadership role. Yes, I’m talking about Harpo the Hypocrite.

A couple of readers have asked me:

Why do I hate Stephen Harper? What do I have against him? Well, here’s the axe I’ve been grinding and have been for 3 decades. I would give a million dollars to have the privilege of being first in line to piss on his grave.

In 1989 we were living in Red Deer, Alberta in the heart of redneck Religious Fundamentalist country with its ignorant belief and prejudices. My son was a homosexual. He was born one, he grew into a talented artist: I knew who he was and accepted the fact. I think it was September when Lee had to go to a dentist and was turned away because he was contagious, he had HIV.

Our leader Mr. Harper was not really into politics as yet but was gathering his base with a thunder and lighting campaign based on religious bigotry and intolerance and somehow he got my attention and I started listening to him. It was not fun hearing my son was being punished by God for his evil ways and perverted conduct but the son-of a bitch would not shut up. It took my son 7 years of hell to die of AIDS when it fried his brain, and we had to watch the process, listening to the vitriol of an asshole on the radio vilifying our son. According to his belief structure my son was a sinner being punished for his perversion and choice of homosexuality and Harpo condemned d him to Hell. I can’t forgive that.

In 1997 my employer went bankrupt and we went through a very tough time when we needed help from the system and actually got it. EI saved our ass. Late that year Mr. Harper, the Great Pretender, gave a speech to a collection of right wing American fundamentalist business tycoons at an event in Montreal. In it he describes his appreciation of the Canadian social network and Canadians inattention, greed, and acceptance of a public dole. That alone displays some of the evil thinking he again needed in designing the MMPR. I quote:

“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.”

The reality is boys and girls you children are going to experience what remains of our beloved compassionate system of giving a shit about your neighbor. Harpo has a majority and with his bigoted understanding of how to fix shit I will not hazard a guess as to what ruins will remain after his tenancy is ended.

I've had a Bad Week

This Sums It All Up!

Seems Mr. Hale Hit A Dead End Too!

I’ve had a bad week. I was going hell bent for election at my exercise program and overdid it, then I got a bladder infection and I collapsed. If you’ve had one you know the fire piss problem all too well: if you haven’t be thankful. It wasn’t the 40 times a night for a two teaspoon dribble that defeated me; it wasn’t the pain and burn each time I dribbled, it was a massive dose of that plus muscular pain and cramps, complete exhaustion and that constant I just don’t feel good focus. I went to the Walmart Walkin Clinic for Cipro and T3’s, got Cream of Tartar, Cranberry juice took the whole bunch and stopped dead in my chair and bed and stayed there until yesterday and I’m here now.

I had a very disturbing experience with my computer while I was lying here feeling sorry for myself and fortunately it made me realize the limits of what I can do by myself, in the hours that I can commit each day. In short, I lost Google and faced disaster for all my plans. There was no real problem but me but for two hours I lost my complete digital identity and access to all of my work and utilities.

When I went to sign into my homepage I was told my password was incorrect  and I was denied access to all my Google accounts including iGoogle, Google+, G-mail and worst of all Blogger. It was all false, but for two hours I had to think about everything I was losing control of: Projects and plans and big ideas. I had to look at what I had to work with to recover my advocacy and I pretty much came to the conclusion that there was no point in recovering much but a very small portion of my grand plans.

I’m too damned old and I’ve got to ease up. I don’t need any more stress than simple survival has to offer. So here goes the chopping block again.

Of my recent output I think you will all note I have been beating the drum about The 4100 Club for a Closed group, a community for Class Action and a pro-active protest collective. It’s a damned good Class Action plan that I believe could pay off but that is all I can ever do with it. There is far too much reasoning and explanation about what such an action is to waste and I will be publishing it but more as a general guide for a victims group or advocate.

The 4100 Club is a possibility but I won’t be the one to Administer it. There needs to be a central confidential circle for sharing ideas in private and that idea will be pursued. A place to participate with others about private problems and get group advice.

The simple fact is the 4100 victims have no impact as victims and it is all past history. If we were the survivors of any Canadian community that suffered a physical disaster we would be front page news. We are not there because we are the victims of a faceless bureaucracy and a timid national press. The Club has the potential of being a central locus of Agitation to wake the world up to what is happening and we are here to protest.

That sort of boils down where I want to go with my advocacy right back to where I started: It’s all a matter of principles. I’ve still got them but my world has lost them. I’ve now spent the last two years gathering evidence to support a complete loss of faith in our Democracy and its Governance. Not only under the Conservatives in Canada but under any collection of misfits operating under the secretive lying adversarial system that now infects Governmental Party Systems, the Global Commercial Conglomerate, and its greed.

So where does TheSmeeGoanGuy go?

What will be the driver of my advocacy?

What it has always been.

Character

WHY?

Because Nobody Knows What It Is

I note that over 50% of the recipients of my Newsletter announcing posts are not Canadian but rather US citizens. I have for some time wondered what the hell you guys saw in this raving Canadian maniac but I hope that it is my ethical scale of values that has kept you as followers. If not, hit “Bye” as requested because that’s what my new advocacy is about.

When it comes to ethical problems our countries are twinned.

I have decided to mount my “Bully Pulpit” and Bully some Bastards

A Simple Matter of Character is Not a Simple Matter!

Character is Complex and based on Six Foundational Pillars

Trustworthiness. Respect. Responsibility. Fairness. Caring. Citizenship.

Each of these pillars has a multitude of facets to be considered. It is on the shortcomings of our societal systems to even be aware of sufficient ethical probity to deserve our respect and trust. Simply look at the six Pillars and consider the three main targets for my Bully Pulpit sermons: Score each 1-6

1.     Politicians and Government    (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)

2.     Cops and Justice                    (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)

3.     The Medical Profession          (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)

Just how I intend to attack the character shortcomings of each is now in the planning stage and each requires a serious rethink. At this point I have only a vague idea of how to play a new game and no idea how productive I will be in the immediate future or how frequently I will be posting. I can assure you there will be progress reports as the framework of my advocacy develops.

I would like all of you readers to not only be patient and wait but to take the time now to do some serious thinking about the current state of your world with respect to the three foregoing focus groups. Given the relative importance of each to our well being it would seem the obvious place to find a Man of Character concerned with the proper governance of his group. After all the cream rises to the top doesn’t it?

If you have managed to read this far please read the page titled The Six Pillars of Character that I put on the right hand side of this page for your convenience. It’s an education in itself.

If you get nothing else from the article you will begin to understand the things that are missing when someone makes you a proposition and you feel uneasy about it. It’s the itty bitty details that all together add up to form the “Skunk” factor of the presentation. How badly it stinks is a pretty valid indication of the moral and ethical values lacking in the speaker and on that we base our opinion and trust. It’s not so much what is said but how the speaker twitches when poked. LOL.

On that note I am gone. Thanks for your patience.

A Politician Actually Listened to Me

A Politician Actually Listened to Me

The NDP Town Hall with Tom Mulcair

Sheraton Guildford: Fraser Room 1:45 PM

September 29, 2013

Dear Diary:

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

Today I went to an NDP Town Hall Meeting with Tom Mulcair here in Surrey. I had no idea whether I would get the opportunity to speak with him. I wanted to ask about Medical Marijuana  and what the NDP could do to help with the disaster coming with the implementation of the MMRP. Not to worry!

Anticipating failure I prepared a request to be forwarded to someone in the NDP Hierarchy who could answer my questions with specifics and not generalities.

On my way into the meeting, I was fortunate to meet Jasbir Sandhu, my MP. He remembered me as the Marijuana Advocate who bugged him a year ago and after reading my written request, promised to forward it to Mr. Mulcair’s inner circle. Bonus! Half way there- somebody is going to have to deal with me. LOL.

I’m not dumb and when I took my seat I noted the position of lights, camera and the big Red Cross on the floor and positioned a seat where I could see his face at all times when he was speaking to the camera. This had the advantage of Mr. Mulcair having me in his field of view. There was an introduction our local MP hosts and then Mr. Mulcair took the stage. During his introductory speech he and I eyeballed each other and sized the other guy up. I think I got him right.

I think he got taken by the Bassett Hound eyes I inherited from my father. You know: that pleading look you get from buddy when you eat that great big hunk of steak. Tom proved he can recognize desperation and took pity on mine. The minute he opened the floor to questions and Holy Bejasus Mother of Earth and the Cannabis God struck and Mr. Mulcair pointed to me and I found myself with a microphone stuck in my face. What now??

I identified my self as a Medical Marijuana Licensee and advocate and more or less asked him this.

“I am aware of the party policy regarding this whole legalization kerfuffel and I am largely in agreement with it. There are millions of questions to be answered but nothing is going to be implemented until a change of Government 2 years away.

I have a much more immediate short term problem to be dealt with and that is how to survive the destruction of the Medical Marijuana Program and the financial consequences of the MMRP.

He listened seriously

I’m a Senior on fixed income, I have occasional neurological pain and depression. I can only afford a minimal 2 gr./day dose at the cheapest source: HC at $315/month. A probable doubling of that cost from entrepreneurs and the difficulty in accessing vendors will simply divert me to any illegal source who undercuts the profiteers. That applies to virtually every other licensee whwere the only alternative is grow your own and risk mandatory prison time just for relieving symptoms. Would he and the NDP give this a problem a priority consideration and try to help with our problems?

I’m not going to try and quote his reply except to say that he accepted my request and Medical Marijuana will be a priority in all NDP consideration of whatever develops regarding Marijuana at large.

More importantly than misquoting his words: I Believe him.

I sat through another 45 minutes listening to him on a very broad range of problems facing Canadians and while I don’t wholly agree with some of his answers I trust him to honour his word based on his excellent background and knowledge of the political history of Canada. I actually think I may have found a Man of Character who understands the moral and ethical principles that Canadians have always valued as a matter of pride.

I finally found a Canadian Politician worthy of my respect: He’s one of a small handful from 50 years of disgusted observation of the Ottawa circus. He’s got good company with Broadbent, Layton and Pearson.

He may not like the company of good old Pierre but liking is a personal matter. Respect is earned.

Enough praise and Kissy Kissy for Mr. Mulcair. While he comforted me with his leadership role, he did not provide me with any specifics re policy and understanding of the problem. That will be forthcoming as a result of that Request for Information that Jasbir Sandhu is passing on.

This is the Request for Information I submitted:

To Someone familiar with NDP Party policy and plans regarding Marijuana.

My name is Blaine Barrett and I live down the street.

I am an Advocate with a Blog.

“Medical Marijuana With TheSmeeGoanGuy”

at

http://goan-smee.blogspot.ca/

I am familiar with the Party position regarding Legalization of Marijuana and have no problem with it. That is a long term problem for you to deal with. What I want to know and will publish if informed is just what is the Party proposing to do about the immediate problems facing the Medical Marijuana Patient population by the stupidity of the Medical Marijuana Research Program. It’s passage will financially destroy access to sufficient dosages of marijuana to provide proper relief for their symptoms.

It’s time for some clarification and I would like to be contacted by someone with the ability to provide specifics and not generalities.

I can be reached at 604-585-0236 or by e-mail to

C.M.A. -The Doctors Character Wasteland

The Canadian Medical Association

C.M.A. -The Doctors Character Wasteland

When I began this post it was as an introduction to two others as a single post

The topics are simply too complex to deal with together and I have dealt with each separately primarily because of length.

This first deals with Medical Disintegration, the next with my dream- Political Warfare, and finally and most importantly the third with the future of Personal Growth. With that introduction: read on.

The Canadian Medical Association has lost all credibility when it comes to the simple exercise of Character when dealing with the public it is supposed to be helping. Any traces of Samaritan or charitable nature have been lost in the conversion into the mammoth money sucking commercial monster it now is. There will be more posts regarding ethical and monetary flaws as they now corrupt the system and determine its moral direction.

This post is concerned with the results of the transformation of the honoured and respected Community of Doctors that existed before the 20^th Century began into our current Canadian Medical Association.

The difference is major and reflective of the change in the Doctors comprising each community. There are significant differences between the two and I took great care and attention to precisely define them in a bloody good post. Unfortunately you can’t see it here because I got a compliment that just about made me bust. Georgia at

http://www.georgiatoons.com/blah-blah-blog.html

invited Me to do a Guest Blog and that is where you can find

The Profession Has Lost Its Character

I suggest you go there and read it before you continue with this post. I’ll warn you in advance that it’s pretty long but it provides a good comparison between the Doctors of yesterday and today. Today comes up very short. The subject of this post is the Canadian Medical Association. As laid out in The Profession Has Lost Its Character, that lack of Character morphed from being simply Doctors they were into Doctor, MD, MBA. To understand, this post uses the other as a primer to understanding the change in the Association.

If you did so, let’s continue.

The Canadian Medical Association has changed in the past century. It no longer represents the interest of Doctors as they were before then. It now represents an avaricious collection of MD/MBA graduates pursuing the best interests of the Corporations they own and control. The benevolent Samaritan motivational content in the profession has been replaced by indifferent financial greed. It’s changed as a result of the destruction of the Doctor/Patient relationship.

As it was before its corruption by time, the physician’s role was that of a member of a community who functioned as a Family Doctor. His practice was based on the trust and respect accorded a wise and valued member of society and he was accorded the title of Doctor in recognition of his status. He knew more about his patients than their families did. He was a center of trust in his community, and had the role of a confessor privy to all the secrets too shameful to share with family. When he treated a patient he knew them and acted in their best interest. His motivation was to help relieve their pain and the symptoms he had observed, and he used his knowledge to guide and modify his treatment. He treated his patients as victims, used his skills to relieve their suffering, asked for no reward, and usually survived on the grateful charity of his community.

That role as a Family Doctor no longer exists and never again will. Scientific advances in the past century took over with an explosion of Resources, knowledge, and techniques beyond the ability of any single individual to understand them all. Specialization was created, drugs were invented, procedures changed, new tools were invented and there was an incredible exponential growth creating a medically oriented and controlled supply chain. Corporations exploded to take advantage of the profit potential of spin-off industries and they are numerous.

1.    Pharmaceuticals of a thousand varieties all competing for position

2.    Surgical supplies for a thousand different procedures

3.    Diagnostic imaging: x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI,

4.    Digital diagnostics: ECG. Blood pressure, neurological studies for psychology

5.    Diagnostic chemistry: Tests for almost everything under the sun from fecal analysis to genetic testing. Blood chemistry, bacterial and viral diseases,

6.    Hospitals and treatment centers, HMOs, Insurance

7.    All the supplies and services required by all medical treatment

There is one indisputable fact: The end result is an enormously expensive system designed to maximize profits. A mammoth complex of businesses all bound together by their dependency on medicine. It’s an amazingly complex system of interdependencies and influence controlled by the medical community. A closer scrutiny of the major corporate firms who dominate the field reveals that not surprisingly the major shareholders and board members are all MD’s and members of the Canadian Medical Association and the cream of the crop comprise the Board of Governors directing policy positions the Association takes in its central role as coordinator and voice for 67,000 Canadian Doctors who have just balked and stalled the Medical Marihuana Program dead in it’s tracks.

I have several problems with that. The Association is balking because it claims that by some poll that was conducted about a third of its membership is opposed to prescribing marijuana. The primary reason given is that there is an unknown risk of harm from its long term use. There is some sort of hidden agenda or motive because both justifications are a total distortion of reality.

Who are the doctors comprising the thirty percent opposition? The poll was based on a sample of 67000 members. I think more than 50% of those members are specialists who have had no occasion to even consider its use. There specialists in many fields conducting their functions at arms length and never in contact with a conscious patient. They have no voice in the matter

What about the other 50% of the GPs in the membership? They talk to patients but do all of them have the right to an opinion about its use- More than half of them have never been asked by a patient and had to seriously consider it. They should have no voice in the matter.

I will wind this up here but watch for future posts and I’ll leave you something to consider. There should have been two more very relevant questions asked:

Have you ever denied signing an application?

If yes: how many?

Later.

It’s Treason, Not Terrorism

Post #56- It’s Treason, Not Terrorism

Criminal Cabinet, Criminal Cops

Harpo, Our Criminal Leader

In my last post I identified 6 topics that I considered priority that would be the primary focus of this Blog and my Medical Marijuana and Ethics Advocacy. In this Post and the next I will outline the reason for its priority and how I will approach it. The first three problems are all the responsibility of, and were created by our Federal Government. I deal with these in the following. The remaining three items will be the subject of my next Post.

Criminal Action No. 1

Sometime in the latter part of 2011, Health Canada’s Private Top Secret files holding all the names of participants in the Marihuana Medical Access Program were violated; accessed without permission and Top Secret Information was removed for further criminal use. This was an inside job. There is no way this could have been done by external personnel. It had to be sanctioned by some Ministry at the Cabinet Level. Whoever conducted the raid had all the keys to open the physical premises and all the access codes to bypass several levels of sophisticated security technology and software. There’s a traitor in our midst sitting right next to Stevie the Stupid at his conference table,

These invaders knew exactly what they were doing and what they were after. Someone at Health Canada had noted a large volume of applications for Medical Marijuana that originated from one specific Doctor. In the course of one year of compassionate actions he signed more applications than any other Physician in the Canadian Medical Association. His actions were legal activities but if allowed to continue would set a precedent all other Doctors could follow and that is not desired by “Harper Government.” He had to be stopped.

Once inside the system, the invaders efficiently located the names of all applicants the Dr. had recommended, recorded them, and removed them. The Cabinet Conspirators then cold bloodedly set about devising a plan of action that would serve as a deterrent to all other Canadian Physicians. They decided that while totally innocent of breaking any Law they would set up Dr. Rob Kamermans of Coe Hill as an example to deter other doctors from signing. They used Harper Government Standard Operating Procedures to do the job:

1. Created a fictitious threat based on his signing applications
2. Created false allegations of fraud and deception to justify their future actions.
3. Invaded his office in a manner designed to exaggerate the danger he posed,
4. Arrested him based on their false allegations
5. Confiscated files to support their allegations and ruin his Medical Practice
6. gained access to confidential information  that they could not legally obtain.
7. Indulged in Character Assassination inferring criminal financial motivation
8. biased and controlled all Press coverage.

One year ago they had set the stage for “Operation Teach the Bastards a Lesson” and somebody pressed “Start”

1. In Dr. Rob Kamermans Defence

I believe the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Rob Kamermans in Coe Hill, Ontario is the intentional persecution of a sacrificial lamb and a character assassination. It is intended to obstruct the Medical Marijuana Program by creating a deterrent to all the medical community:

Sign an application at your own risk.

                                                   We can ruin you too!                         

A strong onset of signature paralysis will result.

Jan 26, 2012 they struck:

There is a major question I want answered and no one is being forthcoming. I want explanation of the timing and conduct of the search of the Dr.’s office.

How were the confiscated files located among the 5000 in his office?

Mid-morning the Swat Team arrived and invaded the office, the warrant was presented and read and a after bunch of cop legal talk they arrested Dr. Kamermans and his wife, and removed them from the office. They then began their search of the files which they subsequently removed. I question the time taken for them to locate the 4000 specifically marijuana related patient files within the lot of 5000 Confidential medical records they encountered. They had to locate each, check its contents remove the file and pack it for confiscation within the time taken to complete the shift: one afternoon.

The staff available for the job were only 15 Dumbo Cops complete with Jackboots, helmets and assault rifles (stupidly defending the perimeter against imaginary terrorists who might interfere with the crime in process) and a half dozen geeks armed with laptops and briefcases who did the inside job. There is no way a half dozen donut addicts can manually separate that number of files from an individual examination. Only by starting at the beginning of the alphabetical shelf and checking each against a list if specific names to find. I smell the Vic Toews Stink Finger Signature.

The only possible source of a list of names of Dr. K’s patients with links to Medical Marijuana is from the record of his applications. That means a Cabinet level decision with a subsequent high level conspiracy to intentionally violate Health Canada’s integrity and access confidential Medical information.

That to me is treason by the state and that is high priority.

Criminal Action No. 2

2. Legality of the Medical Records Seizure

The second Intentional Violation of Privacy is not a single intrusive action of the State, but an arrogant assumption of immunity and freedom from prosecution by the State, by both the

RCMP (Royal Corrupted Moral Perverts)

and the

OPP (Obscene Provincial Pricks).

There was only one single warrant alleging wrongdoing by a Licensed Physician and on the basis of this one set of allegations, the Vic Toews Snoop Brigade descended on a set of privileged confidential Medical Records.  They abused their authority and without justification: located, seized, removed, and refused to return over 4000 medical records for months while they continued their criminal  access and violation of the privacy of the individual Patient.

That will be followed up for explanation in forthcoming posts.

The Criminal

3. The Prime Minister’s Responsibility

This was the second possible Criminal action by Canadian Authorities. Once again it is a matter of Intentional Violation of Privacy. 

The first criminal action of accessing the contents and names of Dr. Kamermans patients from his confidential file record in the custody of The Marihuana Medical Access Program files was a single act of either Terrorism or Treason. A secret state file was accessed and Top Secret information was removed without permission. If it was the act of hostile parties outside Government it would be Terrorism and immediately labelled such by the Conservatives in power. The fact that it has not been suspected and investigated by CSIS, leads me to believe that it is far more likely an act of Treason by Cabinet level members of this Harpocrit Government now refusing to accept responsibility. They follow God’s self appointed Prophet and Mouthpiece as he leads our Country to a position of shame and contempt before the international community.

He presents himself as a second Moses with God given instructions and advice to the World. His presentation of his Gospel is polished and perfected by constant practice and exercise. He mounts to his pulpit, raises his arms in benediction and then:

Sees no Evil! Hears no Evil!

But Screams about Evil! Evil! Evil!

He Creates Imaginary Evil Threats to justify His Stupidity

But

Most of all

Distorts the Truth, Fabricates Lies, Vilifies Enemies, and Condemns All Opposition As

Evil!

That includes the majority of citizens he now governs.
