Freedom of Speech? No Thanks, We’re Canadian…

Published March 3, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Guns, Podcasts, Rights


[powerpress] On Wednesday, February 27, 2013 the Supreme Court of Canada had the opportunity to stand up for Canadians’ Right to Freedom of Speech. To call their ruling in R. v. Whatcott an “Epic Fail” would be a gross understatement. When the Supreme Court starts out by explaining as it did in Whatcott, not that individual rights are the very foundation of our … [Read more...]

A Victory for Privacy Rights! Conservatives Kill Bill C-30

Published February 22, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Courts, Podcasts, Privacy Rights, Rights


[powerpress] Never let it be said that you can’t make a difference.   When the Conservatives introduced Bill C-30, titled the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, Vic Toews said anyone who didn’t agree with the bill was standing “with the child pornographers”. In light of that stand, I suppose it’s reasonable to conclude Vic Toews is now standing “with … [Read more...]

Must be nice to be a Corrupt Toronto Cop at Sentencing Time

Published January 8, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police Corruption, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards


I truly get sick of seeing corrupt policemen, instead of receiving prison time for their crimes, be rewarded for them instead by our asinine justice system. Clearly judges in Ontario are taking lessons in stupidity from B.C. Supreme Court Judge Janice Dillon, who sentenced former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson to a whopping 30 days of house arrest for obstruction of justice … [Read more...]

San Antonio – The Theatre Shooting You’ve Never Heard Of

Published January 7, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Crime, Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones, Human Depravity, Podcasts, Self-Defense


Does anyone aside from me find it bizarre that the mainstream press utterly ignores shootings where the would-be mass killer is stopped by a good guy with a gun? The restaurant and theatre shooting in San Antonio, just 2 days after the school shooting tragedy in Connecticut, is basically a ghost story as far as the mainstream media is concerned.  Outside of “pro-gun” … [Read more...]

Published January 2, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Concealed Carry, Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones, Podcasts, Self-Defense, The Great Nanny State


[powerpress] As I wrote the other day in "And the 2012 Hypocrisy Award goes to…", anti-gun hypocrites believe guns in their hands (or the hands of their publicly-funded security agents) are absolutely fine... it's guns in the hands of we mere citizens that they think are the big problem. The gun-banning fanatics insist that if we just took all the guns guns away from … [Read more...]

The Lesson of Ben Comen (and your New Year’s Resolution)

Published January 1, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Expressions of Gratitude, Good Stuff, Life, Podcasts


  [powerpress] Ben Comen is a runner.  Specifically, he's a cross country runner. He's never won the Olympics, nor is he likely to.  In fact, Ben will never make it to the Olympics other than as a spectator. So what lesson can a runner you've never heard of, and who has never won a Gold medal at the Olympics possibly teach you? Possibly the most … [Read more...]

Do Americans Have Civil Rights? Not any more thanks to the US Senate…

Published December 30, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Constitutional Violations, Courts, Guns, Podcasts


  [powerpress] Americans had, up until just a few days ago, rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution.  That obviously bothered US Lawmakers, who stripped the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) of one very important amendment: the one ensuring that American citizens and any persons in America legally would be assured a jury … [Read more...]

Canadian Sheeple are no better than their American Cousins!

Published December 28, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Guns, Podcasts, The Great Nanny State


  [powerpress] On December 4th, 2012, I wrote an article titled “30% of Americans are Nanny State Sheeple” in which I asked the question What's become of the "Greatest Nation on Earth"? In that article I discussed my abject horror with a study showing over 30% of Americans would willingly submit to oral, anal and vaginal cavity searches if it meant … [Read more...]

Hypocritical Anti-Gunners: Be Very Careful What You Wish For

  [powerpress] Anti-gun zealots get a lot more than they bargained for after publishing the names and home addresses of New York handgun permit holders. On December 24, 2012, The Journal News got up on it's high horse and published an article titled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in in your neighborhood", which … [Read more...]

Who needs the Constitution when you can have a Police State instead?

Published December 26, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Constitutional Violations, Courts, Podcasts, Police Corruption, Police Misconduct, Warrantless Searches


  [powerpress] You’ve heard the saying many times before… The solution is worse than the problem it’s supposed to solve. That’s precisely the state of affairs in Paragould, Arkansas, a small town roughly 90 miles northwest of Memphis, Tennessee, today.  Citizens of this small town, population 26,000, stripped of their Constitutional Rights, are now … [Read more...]

Merry Christmas!

  [powerpress] May you and your family have a blessed and happy Christmas! That said, while I would love to be nothing but sweetness and light in the days leading up to Christmas, I must admit that’s a little difficult given the happenings of the past week or so. First, of course, is the tragedy in Newtown, CT, where 20 little gifts from God … [Read more...]

This is part of my ongoing series Officer Down - in honour of police officers slain in the line of duty.   [powerpress] A husband is grieving the senseless loss of his wife this very minute.  Instead of preparing Christmas Eve dinner for his bride, Wauwatosa Police Officer Jennifer Lynn Sebena's husband must now prepare for a funeral … [Read more...]

Every year stories of jackbooted thugs of the State dispensing the Spirit of Christmas warms my heart

Published December 24, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucrat’s Rule #1, Podcasts


  [powerpress]   Every year there are stories of government agents dispensing the Spirit of Christmas.  They never fail to warm the depths of my heart. One story that caught my eye while scanning the headlines today was of Christian Critzer, a Christmas tree farmer in Waynesboro, Virginia.  Okay, technically these particular state thugs … [Read more...]

Marc Lemire Case: the latest attack on Freedom of Speech by the Canadian Human Rights Commission

For those not familiar with his name, Marc Lemire is the one and only man to ever win a case against the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). Until Lemire was hauled before this Kangaroo Court the Canadian Human Rights Commission had a … [Read more...]

Happy End of the World Day! (At least according to those dead Mayans…)

  [powerpress] Well, today is the day. The End Of The World!!! Good thing too, because if it doesn't I'm in big trouble for not buying my wife any Christmas presents!

Ending School Shootings once and for all – A Simple 3-Step Plan

Published December 17, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones, Podcasts


  [powerpress] As I wrote the other day in "Gun-Free Zones Kill Kids" there is a very simple way to end school shootings once and for all.  We as a people are simply too cowardly to face that reality because it offends our delicate sensibilities. We think we're "above" doing what is necessary to protect our children from lunatics who want to kill … [Read more...]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims of the Connecticut school shooting

Published December 16, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones, Podcasts


  [powerpress] Friday's school shooting is a tragedy of unprecedented proportion.  The horror of this mass murder is felt across the world, and I'm hardly alone in expressing my shock and horror at what a single madman did. Authorities in Connecticut released the names of the victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Here are the names … [Read more...]

Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?

Published December 6, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


[powerpress] When it comes to police brutality cases I don’t surprise easy.  So often they are pathetically predictable. Today, however, I was shocked to see Kelowna thug and RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly changed his plea to guilty. This sad excuse for a man spent the past two years proclaiming his innocence, blaming his RCMP bosses for “tossing him under … [Read more...]

When Compliance with the Nanny State is More Important than Education

Published December 5, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Feeding at the Government Trough, Podcasts, Privacy Rights, Rights, The Great Nanny State


[powerpress] Andrea Hernandez just wants to get an education.  She is, by all accounts I can find, a good student.  She’s also a human being who understands we must never allow ourselves to be tracked like pieces of meat in a grocery store. Andrea Hernandez decided that when her high school issued mandatory RFID-enabled high school ID cards, she would not be a … [Read more...]

30% of Americans are Nanny State Sheeple

Published December 4, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Podcasts, The Great Nanny State


  [powerpress] The TSA, surprisingly, does not currently perform oral, anal or vaginal cavity searches, but the shocking statistic that 30% of Americans would willingly submit to body cavity searches by TSA agents horrified me.  The poll, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of InfoWars.com, showed that an astronomically high percentage of … [Read more...]

  [powerpress] In the early morning hours of August 22, 2010, Ian Thomson's home was attacked by four men screaming that they were going to kill him. They tossed Molotov cocktails at his home and dog kennel and did not back off until Ian Thomson grabbed one of his legally-owned pistols and fired a couple of warning shots over their heads. Then, … [Read more...]

Shocking But True! Good Cops Really Exist!

  [powerpress] In the midst of the Geoff Mantler police brutality trial it's  easy for us to forget that not all cops are brutal thugs with badges and guns who believe they are above the law. Some police men and women are actually, believe it or not, genuinely decent and honourable human beings. One such decent and honourable police officer is … [Read more...]

Libby Davies and the Nanny State Sodium Squad

Bill Whittle’s Plan for a Post-Obama America

Why we must Support Marc Lemire’s Appeal of the Bizarre Federal Court ruling on Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act

  [powerpress]   As you no doubt already know, MP Brian Storseth’s Private Members Bill C-304, an Act to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, has passed the Canadian Parliament.  However, it must still pass the Senate before this piece of freedom-crushing legislation will be gone for good.

Remembrance Day: Our Most Important Holiday

[powerpress]   Remembrance Day is, I believe, the most important holiday we have.  This is the one day we set aside each year to remember all of the brave men and women who fought to protect our Rights and Freedoms.

Spitting in the face of our veterans: Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger should be ashamed of himself

Published November 9, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Guns, In Memoriam -- Remembering our Heros, Podcasts


[powerpress]   While our government at all levels continues its assault on our Right to Freedom of Speech, we must remember that the only reason we even have that right is because brave and decent men and women fought and died defending it on our behalf.
