The People Of The World Have Had Enough

Worldwide Protesting

It has become evident in the last few years that there is a real gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots".
A funny thing happened on the way to Democracy.....the people of the world realized just how bad they have had it most of their life. With the Advent of Democracy and the rise of Social Media in some countries, with new desire comes the growing pains.
Cases in point....I can now name 6 countries that are currently in the throws of civil protesting. Brazil, Greece, Bulgaria, India, Pakistan and Turkey.
Media within each country paints a picture of the protesters as brutes, terrorists and unpatriotic citizens. They justify the use of deadly force by law enforcement and make it sound required to the world. Social Media, on the other hand has found its voice and the rest of the world is not getting glimpses of what the protesters are really protesting about.
So let's have a look shall we.
1. Brazil
The government keeps saying it is doing all it can for its citizens! How nice.
The protesters are demonstrating for the exact opposite reason. 1 .5 MILLION people have taken to the streets to show that they are not happy with what is going on in their country.
Public Service, Government Corruption, Health Care, Education, Cost of Living are just some of what they are protesting about.
"How dare they cry about this!!!!" says the government. "We will be bringing the world to Brazil in 2014!"
The cost for the World Cup to be staged in Brazil has cost BILLIONS of dollars. Money, frankly, that could have been better spent on social issues and needs of the people. Not only should the government not bid on the World Cup, but FIFA should have done a economic assessment first before handing a world-class event to a struggling country.
There is only so much that the working class can support through taxes!
2. Greece
Well what has the Greek populace not protested about in the last few years?
The current labour strike at the height of tourist season is over their Public Television Station being axed. Workers have poured into the streets to protest, shutting down media outlets, newspaper deliveries and even public transit. I am not sure why they want to protest this, but I feel that the Greeks have had a real taste for protesting as of late and anything could spark them into further actions.
3. Bulgaria
People here have been protesting for the last 6 days over election scandals and are asking the newly formed government to step down. I have always been amazed at how the majority seems to protest government, but my question is ....HOW DID THEY GET ELECTED? The battle in the streets of major cities there has become violent. Once again, law enforcement has reared its ugly head.
4. India
1 MILLION people in India walked off the job 2 days ago in protest of wage inequality and conditions. They want the government to set a minimum wage and laws in place to better protect the worker. It is unclear how long the strike will last. What is apparent again is that POLITICAL CORRUPTION stands between surviving and perishing here.
Again, Social Media is playing a big part in the protest.
5. Pakistan
This country has been up in arms for a while now over possible election rigging. People seem to be fed up with the corrupt political system. Clashes between the people and the military police has escalated and political double-speak is on the offence. I believe people have a right to a fair government.
6. Turkey
The people of Turkey have also taken to the streets to protest. What is on their agenda....nothing too pressing. Human Rights, Democracy and Environmental Issues. (if you didn't get it, I was being sarcastic)
Again, government corruption.

What do all these 6 different countries have in common with regards to their protesting??? GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION and MEDIA CONTROL. Some leaders are using social media like twitter to lie about what is going on in their countries. One leader openly tweeted that terrorist protesters were hiding from police in Mosques and not removing their shoes and drinking alcohol. WHAT CRAP!
Protesters were using the Mosque as a safe haven and medical care for people injured by the police.
The other ALARMING THEME that no one seems to see when they watch any type of sound bite is that protesters are clashing with police because they seem to be provoked. Throwing a rock at a fully shielded police man does not seem fair when protesters are being beaten, shot and tear gassed. I just can't seem to muster any sympathy for the law at this point. I am always amazed how government officials can justify beating and killing the citizen for demanding human rights. In my country it is illegal to protest with a mask on....IT'S A LAW!!!!? What if I am ugly and need to hide my face? What if it is sub-zero temperatures outside??? This is just silly, it is just another way for the governments to trace, track and keep an eye on you as "someone who does not support the political cause." What governments can't see, NO WHAT THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE is that ''governments'' are there to SUPPORT THEIR PEOPLE... if not, this is just another form of monarchy then.

Does this not strike you as WRONG????
The other major theme that crosses all protests is MONEY. Created as a standard and now has replaced the gods as '' the god'' in the political world. The political world is clinging to a fossilistic (yes dinosaur fossil) way of governing and they are deeply afraid. AND THEY SHOULD BE.
People are not demanding to be rich.....they are demanding basic fair wages, clean living environment, reasonable taxation and decent health care.
That does not sound like the craving of a ''WANNNA BE FORTUNE 500 CLUB MEMBER??!!!"
So as the world turns, countries protest for humanity, politics and its way crumbles, drones fly, weather is manipulated and people die, I leave you with a quote that struck me this week. I am unsure who said it, but....WOW...give the guy a Pulitzer!
" If every insect was wiped from the face of the earth, mankind would perish shortly after. If every human was wiped from the face of the earth...IT WOULD FLOURISH."
We are the ''riot police'' of this earth and we are destroying it with inhumanity, brute force and utter greed. ONLY humans possess the disgusting trait of greed.
So I ask you, the next time you get your 'direct deposit paycheque' and want to spend it on something you really don't need....think about those who have not and maybe support your fellow man instead.
Enough Said!
Thanks for reading.

Honesty Is The Best Policy....Does The Senate Have It?

More Nonsense In The Political Scene In Ottawa...

It seems that more is leaking out of the sewry Senate still about ILLEGAL SPENDING.
Pamela Wallin might be in for paying another $20,000 back to the public. My guess is, if that is the next dollar figure then she probably owes more.
I believe that the Conservative party is going to suffer tremendously for this....and I hate to say I TOLD YOU SO....
The people need to start to pressure their representatives, Conservative, Liberal, NPD or other to ask questions on their behalf. We are a highly taxed country and for paying those taxes we not only deserve an answer, WE ARE OWED ONE!!!

If you defrauded a business out of moneys in these sums where do you think you would be by now.....IN COURT of course. Justice is swift for the weak. But apparently if you are a politician, you just have to empty your pocket and pay it back. That's good enough. CHARGE THEM...THEY ARE CRIMINALS STEALING FROM YOU.
The Harper Government went on and on before its first and second term about government transparency and fairness. They also said a few months back that they would sniff out the people hiding money in tax shelters and off shore accounts so that they would pay taxes also, not just the little guy. AND NOW.....this not so visible, sneaky and hidden mess.
A Conservative MP backbencher, Brent Rathgeber has resigned from the party due to a few reasons he stated to the press.
Quote...
"The former Tory MP, who announced he was quitting late Wednesday night to sit as an Independent, said staff in Harper's office — who are "half my age" — pressure the caucus to obey their talking points and vote "like trained seals."
"I do believe that the PMO has too much power, that they don't properly respect the legislators and most importantly, there is not a proper degree of separation between the legislature and the executive," he said.
The $90,000 cheque that Harper's chief of staff Nigel Wright wrote to Senator Mike Duffy to cover his improperly claimed housing allowance is a prime example of the lack of separation, he said. "

It was suggested that Rathgeber quite and run in a by-election as an independent.  Why?? So they can slip in some "Yes-Boy" to run and try and win the seat back. This is such a SICK GAME to them.
In the last election, a Liberal elected, crossed the house floor and joined the Conservative Party after calls that he should run in a by-election. DID HE?? NOT A CHANCE.
Quote.....
" Membership in a political party is very important to the success of a Member of Parliament, both in terms of being elected to the House of Commons, as well as gaining experience and a public profile on the national stage. This, in turn, provides leaders of a political party with considerable influence over their caucuses. Party leadership may use tactics such as promotion or demotion within the party ranks, or expulsion from the party altogether, in order to ensure that caucus members “tow the party line,” particularly in terms of how they vote in the House. The result is that Members of Parliament tend not to vote according to their own views, or even the interests of their constituency, but according to the desires of their political party.Supporters of this concentration of power tend to emphasize its benefits for a more effectively coordinated and stable government. Critics, however, contend that it raises the spectre of tyranny and corruption, in which the prime minister is able to govern with very little in the way of checks and balances, at least between general elections."

So how do we, as a people, stop this CORRUPTION OF POWER and get back to a fair and transparent government that is elected to look after all our interests and not just those with money? This is not an easy answer...and to some it may sound like mutiny.
You have the power to elect an official in your area that represents YOU.

You have the power that demands your interests be tabled on your behalf.

You have the power to make Canada the strong and free nation it should be.

YOU HAVE THE POWER.....if you choose to exercise it.

Governments around the world have been giving orders and telling the people for so long what is good for them that the people have been dumbed down to believe it......WAKE UP.
YOUR POWER FOR A DECENT LIFE IS GREATER THAN YOU KNOW!
DEMAND TRUTH!!!!!!

Enough said....quote of the day....

Give Them A Day In Court....Just Like You Or I Would Get!

Hi All,
How sad it is that the Prime Minister has the right to appoint people to the Senate, but does not have the right to fire them.
WHY?
What is the purpose of a Senate other than wasting and stealing the taxpayers money???
I don't believe the government has a right to cover up things like this, I don't believe we should be reading this in the first place. I don't think people in power have the interests of the Canadian People in mind. If they did, no one would be cheating.
If I stole $90,000 and got caught....I WOULD BE IN COURT AND THEN JAIL!!!!! Why are people like this exempt from the legal system? It is what it is...and what it is is theft pure and simple. Why can't we see these people in court.
It just sickens me to think that people like this run our National Business.
We often hear and think of corruption in other countries....Greece comes to mind. But here at home???
And you want me to vote in the next election???? I don't feel any of you are worth my trust let alone my vote.
Am I just shooting my mouth off with not solution to put forth....YES I AM. Because at the moment I don't see a solution.
Actually, I take that back....ALL PARLIAMENT MEMBERS/SENATORS MUST register all expenditures publicly. (for anyone to read) This and a regular salary. You want to travel......pay for it from your salary. Parliament/Senate members work less than teachers.
So know what I say....Glass Finances! 100% visibility so I can see where I am getting BANG FOR MY BUCK.
And all you Spending Offenders....charge them legally and fire them.

Stealing From The People

I just finished reading a news article about how our Senators are stealing from the people of Canada. YOU GOT IT RIGHT....stealing. Many Senators are charging housing and travel over and above what is required. As well they are claiming their riding residence as their home when they literally spend more time in Ottawa than their riding. LET'S LIST SOME OF THE THEFT SHALL WE..... 1. Harb must repay $51,000 for housing and mileage claims dating from April 2011, 2. Brazeau must repay $48,000 3. Mike Duffy says he's repaid $90,000 4. Pamela Wallin, is also being audited Liberal Senate House leader Jim Cowan told reporters that he was disappointed that the Senate committee had not recommended disciplinary action against the three senators other than reimbursement of funds inappropriately claimed. SO A SLAP ON THE WRIST IT IS???? WHY??? I want these people charged for Grand Theft of a nation. Wanna see what happens when you don't pay your taxes??? You get to go to court, you pay EXtreme interest and could possibly go to jail. Where is the sense of fair play here???? THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO KNOW BETTER!!! THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO SAFE GUARD CANADA'S FINANCES!!!! THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT ME!!!! KNOW WHAT I SAY.....you are ALL nothing but a pack of lying criminals that cheat the Canadian tax payer out of any luxury they can afford. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. Here's what needs to happen. 1. It is a privilege to be a member of Parliment. 2. Build housing for these members, like an apartment complex with individual rooms. you get a bed, a sofa, a tv, a kitchenette. 3. The building is for members only. Families visiting can pay for a hotel room out of their pocket. 4.1/3 of your time should be spent in Ottawa so choose your battles for voting wisely. 5. Members should use PUBLIC TRANSIT. More than 1/3 of the people that live in Ottawa do. (I would pay for the bus pass for the year) 6. What members choose to eat and where they choose to eat comes out of their own pocket. My company doesn't buy me lunch daily, we shouldn't buy yours either. 7. Travel, unless sanctioned by the government, is payed for out of the members pocket. 8. Travel for government purposes does not include ones spouse or children. If members want a working vacation, PAY FOR IT YOURSELF. This cronic spending for personal or even professional reasons is ridiculous and not necessary. AND IT HAS TO STOP. UNLESS MR. PRIME MINISTER.....you want to give ALL Canadians a free income tax pass next year. You know....EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW! ENOUGH SAID...... Quote of the Day It’s hard to steal somebody’s shoes while they are wearing them and not have them notice. But that’s what politicians have done in this country. Not only that, but they replaced all our footwear with concrete boots.

It's My GOD Given Right To Carry A Gun.....OR IS IT?

Hi Everyone, i am just fuming at the article that i just read. READ ON PEOPLE...... this is the tragedy and the comment by the Police after the fact INFURIATES ME. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY AND PREVENTABLE. A 5-year-old Kentucky boy who received a .22-caliber rifle as a gift accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old sister on Tuesday, according to state police. The toddler was shot at just after 1 p.m. local time on Lawson’s Bottom Road in Cumberland County, police said. The girl was taken to Cumberland County Hospital and later pronounced dead. The mother of the two children was at home at the time of the shooting, Cumberland County Coroner Gary White told the local newspaper, the Lexington Herald-Leader. He said that the family did not realize that there was a shell inside the gun. The firearm was kept in a corner, he said. “It’s a Crickett,” Cumberland County Coroner Gary White told the paper. “It’s a little rifle for a kid.” “The little boy’s used to shooting the little gun,” White said. The shooting occurred while the boy was playing with the rifle, police said. It was “just one of those crazy accidents,” White told the Herald-Leader. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. IS YOUR god-given RIGHT THAT IMPORTANT THAT IT JEAPORDIZES A LIFE OF A CHILD.... Know What I Say..... SHAME ON ALL OF YOU America!

Flu Shot or NOT to Flu Shot....That is the question?

Hi Everyone,
I was reading an article about health care workers in the US that have been fired for refusing to take the flu shot. I SUPPORT YOU!!!
I don't feel there is enough evidence yet to support this. There are no definitive studies that categorically state that the flu shot prevents the flu. That being said, what is in this SHOT anyway?
Workers in some hospitals that are not forced to have the shot are asked to wear masks and tell who they are treating that it is for "their" protection. I don't believe this is right either.
It is currently not mandatory for the general populace to have a flu shot, why then are health care people not considered the general populace. I believe they pay taxes just like anyone else.
I don't think ANY GOVERNMENT  has the right to tell you what you can do with or to your body.
Case in point. Many years ago I had an employee that had chronic attendance due to illness from cold and flu. She was afraid of getting the shot that was offered free by my company. At the time, (I was naive in my thoughts that the government had the best intentions for us) I encouraged her to have this shot. To demonstrate that the needle was not as bad as she imagined, I agreed to have the shot first in front of her. She did take the shot after me. I, however, was sick and off work for a week and ill for at least 2 more weeks after this shot. TELL ME AGAIN THAT ITS SAFE AND WILL HELP.
Your governments thinks that by governing your personal life, it can control nature.
HERE'S A NEWS FLASH FOR YA......no one can control nature.
Governments, over the years, have dumbed us down, taken away our "natural sense", encouraged us to overwork, pushed our youth to the point that they are suicidal if their grade point average is lower than expected. They have turned us into "DEPENDANTS". Since then, they have tried to scare us into doing and taking things that we should not, if we only stopped and thought about it. AND THERE IT IS IN A NUT SHELL PEOPLE...they have taught us how not to THINK.
Since then, they have begun to tell us what is good for us. Government is there to protect my rights, NOT TAKE THEM AWAY.
The media is not helping matters. The are scaring the public into believing that there is a pandemic of flu. That it is serious and it is causing death.
Guns in the US are causing death, is the government forcing people to turn in their guns???? More people die in the US from gun related deaths than flu. TAKE THE GUNS AWAY.... "we are only doing what is good for you!"
One quote in the article was from a person that said that if you don't want the flu shot then you should not be working in the health care profession.
Here's some interesting info for you....
If we look at “safe” and “un-safe” levels of mercury, per the FDA, we find this:
"2 ppb is the maximum amount of mercury that deems water “safe” for drinking

Anything over 200 ppb mercury is considered TOXIC [source - EPA]

After doing some math [you can check my math in the article: Vaccine Ingredients – A Comprehensive Guide], we find this:
There is up to 300 ppb mercury is in the “thimerosal-free” flu vaccine.
There is 25,000 ppb mercury given in the flu shot containing 25 mcg of thimerosal as a preservative."

"Many people, after experiencing a rough weekend of throwing up and diarrhea, come back to work and say they had an awful flu.  This is a common misconception.  The “stomach flu” is different from “the flu” that we vaccinate for.  The flu shot is ineffective against “stomach flu."
The following is a list of different years and the number of flu associated deaths in children reported to the CDC:




•1999-2000 -36 deaths [source]

•2000-2001 -30 deaths [source] 17% decrease

•2001-2002 – 25 deaths [source] 17% decrease

•2002-2003 – 29 deaths [source] 16% increase (This is the last year that the flu vaccine was considered “unsafe” by the CDC for children under 5 – now let’s watch the increase of deaths after the CDC recommends all children age 6 months to 5 years be vaccinated for Influenza.)

•2003-2004 – 153 [source] 427% increase

•2004-2005 — 47 deaths [source] 69% decrease

•2005-2006 – 46 deaths [source] 3% decrease

•2006-2007 – 68 deaths [source] 48% increase

•2007-2008 – 88 deaths [source] 29% increase

•2008-2009 – 133 deaths [source] 51% increase

•2009-2010 – 282 deaths [source] 112% increase

•2010-2011 – 115 deaths [source] 59% decrease

SO WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO TO HELP PREVENT THE FLU???

"Studies have shown that adequate amounts of Vitamin D during the flu months (when Vitamin D levels are at their lowest) can prevent people from contracting influenza up to 100% of the time!! And even if your Vitamin D levels aren’t as high as they need to be to completely prevent the flu, even higher than average levels of Vitamin D can greatly minimize the symptoms of the flu if you catch it. This is one of the only safe and natural ways to prevent the flu or lessen flu symptoms."

Hockey Is Back!!!...Who Cares

Hi Everyone,
Early this morning the NHLPA and the NHL reached some kind of tentative agreement to save the hockey!
KNOW WHAT I SAY.....so what! All this nonsense so players and the league can have better benefits, save some money and feel better.
MY QUESTION IS....is anyone really worth the money that these people make? Are team owners really suffering? NO & NO they are not.

"Players were losing $30,000 US in salary on average per cancelled game, with owners taking an even bigger hit to their wallets."

A majority of the people that cheer and support these organizations DON'T MAKE $30,000 a year. What have you done for your LOYAL FANS Players and NHL???? NOTHING. In fact, I can bet my next pay cheque that the price of tickets will rise SHARPLY because of it. So in the end, it's the poor pathetic fan that pays for this mess so the league and the players can shake hands and step back on the ice. How sad.

What a sad quote, better yet what a sheepish attempt to make the public feel sorry for these GREEDY BASTARDS. I have no sympathy what so ever for a player who is losing that kind of money each game missed when he is making millions a year. Do you really think that this strike put a dent in Sidney Crosby's wallet. I think it is pretty safe to say IT DID NOT.
So I am sure you can assume from my comments that for me, HOCKEY IS NO LONGER MY FAVORITE CANADIAN SPORT. (kind of like the way baseball did when it decided to strike)
The people that rely on that form of entertainment can attest to that. Some sport suppliers are in hock because of this.

HERE'S WHAT I SAY....let your kid watch soccer instead!
Enough Said....
