With guns blazing

As another weekend moved towards it's conclusion,dark forces were at work in the Okanagan town of Kelowna,BC.By days end,Jonathan Bacon,late of the Red Scorpions drug gang was dead and a full patch Hell's Angel named Larry Amato and an associate from the Independent Soldiers street crew were wounded.Amato is still in critical condition,fighting for his life.A niece of another Angel,a club president,was also wounded.This was just the first shoe dropping in what could be the start of another bloodbath like the one we just experienced in 2009.Word on the street(and the interweb)says the smart money is on the UN gang to have instigated this hit.That is the same UN gang that was put to rest by reporter Kim Bolan,in a documentary on the subject just this year.With their leader in prison and another member as the subject of said documentary it was easy to see how such a conclusion could have been reached.This shooting says that the demise of said gang was greatly exaggerated and totally incorrect.There are several members in prison,but this was a huge gang and able to rebuild.That one member,a former crack addict was out, meant nothing.As long as the prohibition of drugs is pursued by politicians with no idea who or what they are dealing with.There is no end in sight to the escalating violence that it takes to run a drug cartel or gang in this day and age.There is just too much easy money to be made and far too many people with little or no prospect of any kind of decent paying job with which to support their families.Drugs are the one thing that gets a lot of people through their otherwise unbearable day.Such it is,was and always will be.The current prohibition has only thrown gasoline on the fires that are the addiction to drugs and the use of other drugs by people.With an addiction to opiate drugs at 1-1&1/2% of the population,the traditional number throughout history,it has done nothing positive and had a lot of very negative things.The gang wars here are just a small example of the results that can be found throughout the world.40,000 have died in Mexico to date with no end in site in spite of protests by Mexico's people to end the violence.It's not just the gangs and cartels that make this situation so terrible.Law enforcement has been placed in the position of having to be the face of the war on drugs.They have been not only corrupted by the money and the use of criminal informants.They have had to take to hiding under balaclavas and carrying heavy weapons.They break into peoples homes and destroy their property or else seize it and forfeit it to the courts.This causes police to act in a manner that is non condusive to the proper restraint they used to show when doing their jobs.Many take it personally and lose sight of their impartiality.The current group in Ottawa never had any impartiality and have used their bully pulpit to further people's confusion over the issue by attacking harm reduction measures as a form of surrender.True war time jargon.Although we sit on the border of the most anti drug government on the face of the planet.That doesn't mean we have to repeat the horrible mistakes that have caused the US to have the largest prison population,by population on the planet.

The Harper Curse

This unbelievable prime minister,after catching flak for spending tax dollars to catch game 6 in Boston and cursing the team with horrible luck.Thinking how good for HIS career it would be if some of the Canuck luck could just rub off and make him look like a good guy.Comes to Vancouver and gives the team,usually unbeatable on home ice,the Harper curse.We all know that this guy is as far away from the phoney good guy image he's been faking for years.Now,his presence has cost our team the Stanley Cup.His selfish need for praise was just too much for this little man to avoid.This last two game washout will forever and from this day onward be known as the Harper Curse.No Canadian team has won since he entered politics and no Canadian team will ever win with Harper in the building.The man is pure poison to ordinary working Canadians and he is pure poison to Canadian hockey.Just look at the futility of his team,the Leafs.The Harper curse has them in last place seemingly forever.As long as the PM haunts Canadian arenas there will be no Stanley cup presented to any Canadian team.Just one photo op and the team is cursed.Forget the cost of flying this wind bag all over the place cursing our teams.Just think of Vancouverites,with 41 years of futility and who shows up for game 7 forever cursing us to mediocrity?Why,Stephen Harper,of course.What a boon to top off his great win(with 1% more of the vote than last time)in the election than to be at rinkside when the cup comes home to Canada.Too bad the guy is pure poison.Insincerity,fake niceness,phoney ads telling us how he saved the economy.The guy had to prorogue parliament to save his job and be forced into taking the action he did.Now he has cursed the Vancouver Canucks by just being here.Thanks a lot Stephen.We will NEVER forget this.

Look out,here comes the social engineering

1% more of the vote and Harper goes from zealot on a leash to zealot with the power of a god.If you thought he was an asshole before,and 60% of you voted against him,just wait.Remember the 6 billion dollar prison expansion that he suddenly couldn't put a price on?It's coming.He says he wants a new law passed to speed up the court system and he wants it passed before summer break,one month.No one disagrees with speeding up the courts.What we don't need is another of Harpers half baked put up jobs that won't pass a court challenge.The guy is in court because prostitutes find the world too dangerous.So what says Harper.He's in court trying to shut down insite.To all of you people out there who he has convinced this is free heroin(which would be an excellent idea),it isn't.It is simply a place to inject drugs where the addict has access to treatment and there are nurses in case of overdose.Not in my country says Harper.They're better off dead.We will be engaged in the global arms race for the first time in 20 years.Why?Because those are Harpers priorities.He is an evangelical born again christian who actually believes there is a guy in the sky watching over everything he does.Strange when you look at his record on race,morality and rule of parliament.The guy couldn't tell the truth if you had him at gunpoint.But there's a method to his madness.He thinks we are in the end times which explains his total lack of any environmental policy and the muzzling of climate scientists.Might as well use everything up if it's all going to end real soon.Like I said,insanity.We are about to see an erosion of our social safety net and the complete abandonment of Canadians home and abroad.Harper takes credit for the things that go right when he would have done either nothing or the opposite if he was in power at the time.The banking system and the recovery for two.Watch as we see an expansion of private health care and a further starving of the national system.Harper doesn't believe in helping others.What has earned us respect in the world is in danger of vanishing right before our eyes.There is absolutely nothing we can do about this.60% of the population of this country is without a voice for four years.I know Jack has a nice new home and is feeling really good about himself.Just wait till he sees how little say he has in anything till the next election.Harper,with an already healthy party bank balance and the bribes from every big business in the country is taking away the financing that made our system appear to be a little fair.Jack has all he can do to get enough cash to buy a few ads to run against the constant barrage of government paid ads and conservative party lies that fly so freely at all times of the year and increase at elections.I am so happy to be old because this country is about to become a much meaner and selfish place to live.
