Has the world suddenly gone bonkers? Well, no. The world seemingly has been afflicted with mass insanity since time immemorial. Hi-tech toys merely allow the madness to be refined. Eavesdropping on every telephone conversation, snooping into every e-mail message, cameras and recorders spying on and listening to citizens on every street corner, super-snoop … [Read more...]
Junking English for the Sake of IngSoc by Jane Gaffin
The great failed experiment called the United Nations has come up with another bizarre notion. This time it’s the outlawing of speech. I don’t know if the Marxist deadheads hanging out in the tombstone-shaped, 37-floor UN building in Manhattan intend to prohibit all speech to bring complete silence to the land or just continue their rout of demonizing and redefining … [Read more...]
Privacy: A Relic from the Past by Jane Gaffin
George Orwell was right. Big Brother is watching! So is the menacing Big Sis over at the U.S.’s ubiquitous Homeland Security. That evil government department is in accelerated motion toward total world surveillance that transcends Orwell’s projections as well as that of screenwriters Patrick McGoohan and George Markstein whose unnerving British TV series The Prisoner … [Read more...]
Canadian Public School System is a Breeding Ground for Stupidity by Jane Gaffin
Over a 100 years ago, when immigrants came to clear and farm Canadian land, the community members quickly built churches for various denominations. Then came the schoolhouses. The provincial government helped finance the structures that served the dual purpose as a place to educate the children as well as a focal point for all the communities’ social functions and … [Read more...]
Freedoms: Yours Until They Are Stolen by Jane Gaffin
People don’t give a whit about freedom as long as they naively believe the government is not goring their ox, which, they painfully discover with time, it was their own personal inalienable rights that were stealthily chipped away in silence until those freedoms no longer exist. Frequently, freedom-lovers allude to the famous “First They Came For” passage that refers to … [Read more...]
Marxist Audacity and Mendacity by Jane Gaffin
U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama is either a Pol Pot clone, whose arse should be fired out the White House door so fast he leaves a vapour trail, or else he is in dire need of a new speech writer. The premise of his frenzied Roanoke Rant on July 13th sounded like the punch line to an old satirical joke, “Hi, I’m from the government; I’m here to help you.” News Flash: … [Read more...]
Poorly-Written Laws Are Criminal by Jane Gaffin
"To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of (any nation’s) system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the … [Read more...]
Under Agenda 21 “Property Seizure” is Seen as “Profit-Sharing” by Jane Gaffin
Canada's Constitution is the supreme law. Any law passed by any federal, provincial, or territorial government that is inconsistent with the constitution is invalid. The next highest law in the pecking order of paramountcy is the Criminal Code of Canada and the same rules of law apply--or should apply--under the Criminal Code as with the Constitution. The Safer … [Read more...]
“Social Justice” Is Not Kids’ Play by Jane Gaffin
In reference to Don Laird’s Selfish Spoiled Brats Steal Money from 9-Year-Old Girl Scout, Say They’re Entitled to It and Christopher di Armani’s Telling the Truth to Spoiled Brats Across North America, it sounds as though the epidemic of ‘spoiled brats’ infiltrating society need to be tuned up. Each generation wants the next generation of children to be better educated and … [Read more...]
Farewell, Henry Lamb, Educator About Evils Against Humanity by Jane Gaffin
I’ve been a devout fan and student of Henry Lamb from the minute I came across his columns over 10 years ago on Enter Stage Right which has a permanent home on my Book Bar alongside other carriers of Lamb’s valuable collection. Although a long-time disciple, I knew little about the writer and author personally except that he has dedicated many years to educating the public … [Read more...]
The Day Fisheries and Oceans Lost Its Fish by Jane Gaffin
According to Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Keith Ashfield and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, the Stephen Harper Conservative government proposes to amend the Fisheries Act. An article posted April 24 by Margo McDiarmid, CBC Environment Unit, quoted Gerry Ritz as telling reporters on a conference call that farmers and landowners have been pushing for changes to … [Read more...]
How Some Sucker Stole the Water
The Christopher di Armani-produced Rights and Freedoms Bulletin of April 28, 2012 carried a frustrating article about the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) declaring war on British Columbia’s Fraser Valley farmers. The ditches the farmers dug to drain their land have been designated “fish habitat”. The heavy-handed, gun-toting, jackboot boys told the … [Read more...]
Mining Study Cuts to the Core
(Originally published in the Yukon News, March 20, 2000) Dutch Van Tassell Photo, 2009 “When you push somebody far enough, they will stand up and fight. If they don’t fight for their rights, then they are done for. They are slaves.” -- Jim McFaull (1952 to 2012) -- *** Private property ownership is the cornerstone of any free society. The land issues the late Jim … [Read more...]
Property Owners Are An Endangered Species
The delegates who heard about the Wildlands Project during a 1998 Alaska Miners Conference may have naively thought the plot too outrageously unrealistic to pay heed to at the relevant time. A reprint of Kathleen Benedetto’s paper in the July/August 1998 Mining Voice warned that the ranting of a handful of radical activists really was a must to be taken seriously. The … [Read more...]
‘Land-Use Planning’ Means Driving People from the Land
Under the United Nations’ Agenda 21--Agenda for the 21st Century--the main thrust is to return all privately-owned property back to public domain. As with the Marxist doctrine, Agenda 21 doesn’t recognize privately-owned property because it is the cornerstone of all free societies. America’s 50 states are being carved into 12 land-planning regions in anticipation of the … [Read more...]
The United Nations’ War on Christianity
A cultural showdown is in production on the world stage against the values of the estimated 2.1 billion who belong to the world-dominant Christian religion. To establish a global government that reigns with uncompromising command-and-control power over every aspect of human life--family, children, business, money, food, education, home, dress, religion, etc.--the United … [Read more...]
Everybody Has Heard of Agenda 21; Most Just Don’t Know It
I can ask people if they have heard of Agenda 21. The inevitable answer is “no”. The response to my short explanation is either met with disdainful silence or with a “you don’t know what you’re talking about” retort. If I ask the same people the same question 30 days later they still say “no” they haven’t heard of Agenda 21. Obviously, my explanation didn’t register with … [Read more...]
Sack the Menacing Marxist Agenda 21 and Subsidiary Programs
When politicians were in full cry about the benefits of linking the state of Alaska with Canada's province of British Columbia via rail back in 2004, the only thing I could visualize the trains hauling was human cargo. One reason I envisioned something akin to the Jews and Gypsies herded onto cattle cars for their trip from Eastern Europe to the Nazi concentration camps is … [Read more...]
The United Nations Needs Dismantling
The United Nations is not a secret organization. Everything said and done at the United Nations level is printed, published and online in the form of books, papers, documents and YouTube videos. The problem is that much is written in invisible ink and the reader must possess the uncanny ability to read between the lines; every word is couched in innocuous-sounding, … [Read more...]
Gun Owners Continue to Face Criminal Charges for a Law That Doesn’t Exist
I am flipping tired of the unmitigated hubris that continues to spur Canada’s game-playing cops and court system in their indefatigable zeal to prosecute innocent gun owners with the same pesky, recycled sections of the Canadian Firearms Act. In order to demonize gun owners to the hilt, the Government of Canada saw its way clear, at the behest of the United Nations, to dump … [Read more...]
PETA and the UN: No Friend To Man Nor Beast
If PETA’s cause was to bring awareness to prevent cruelty and undue suffering to domestic animals, livestock and wildlife, the shock-treatment approach might be considered a noble one. It isn’t. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) beats a Marxist drum that embraces the United Nations’ property-sucking Agenda 21 and is leading to a unified New World … [Read more...]
Sustainability and a Free Society Are Not Compatible
A conservative-minded individual passes through several distinct stages before he is enveloped by the Marxist-Leninist ideology. First, he rants that the philosophy is damnable, dangerous, disorderly, counter-opposed to law and the Christian faith and is a scourge to a "free society". Next, he is brainwashed to believe he has no rights and tires of standing up for some … [Read more...]
Preserving Rights and Freedoms Against Marxist Attacks
Freedom is the easiest thing to give away and the hardest thing to get back. Even shakier for Canadians is that personal rights have never been carved into a constitution like the rights of the American cousins, who are embroiled in the throes of fighting against their erosion, too. Canadians mostly lived under the same rights and freedoms as our neighbours by virtue of … [Read more...]
The Canadian Charter Isn’t Providing Protection
"It has occurred to me that I'm far more afraid of my own government than of any 'terrorist organisation'. Our wonderful representatives in Ottawa spout off about human rights violations in Iraq, etc., but seem perfectly content to subject Canadian citizens to unwarranted search and seizure, take away the protection against self-incrimination, and break their own rules … [Read more...]
Indifference Allows the State to Steal Our Cherished Freedoms
People who do not protest and fight back for their beliefs are cast as pitiful victims. Even a badly-organized revolt that fizzles can offer more hope than doing nothing at all. As my father used to say: "Do something, even if it's wrong." An esteemed U.S. Supreme Court justice took the adage one step further. "Be not afraid to do something," advised Clarence … [Read more...]
Illogical Paranoia: The Root Cause of Lost Freedoms
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to prevailing superstition or taboo." -- H. L. Mencken, American journalist The first principle of people-control is not to let them know they're being controlled. That is the reason governments propagandize “crime-reduction” as a favorite motive when sneakily … [Read more...]
Big Brother Has Come Too Far in 10 Years
The hallway stank of boiled cabbage and old rag mats, both government-issued. At one end of the hallway, a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man about 45, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no … [Read more...]
Terrorism Law: A War on Internet
All levels of government are trying to feed balderdash to ordinary Canadians as a way of brainwashing them into feeling guilty unless they willingly accept reverse onus (guilty as charged and no way to prove innocence) without uttering a whimper or protest to unwarranted Internet surveillance. (Translation: stupid, low-life minions aren’t trustworthy or deserving, let alone … [Read more...]
Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People
A friend, who has followed my writing for 30 years, recently suggested that I package my articles into a one-volume tome and title it “I Told You So”. While mulling over that vain idea to see if it had merit, I did come across a couple of pertinent pieces “Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People” and another writer’s supporting piece “We Must Be Able to Defend Our … [Read more...]
Everyone’s House is His Castle and Fortress
This article is intended as a companion piece to Christopher di Armani’s September 28th post titled Ontario Crown Counsel and OPP Finally Find Some Common Sense. "There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has … [Read more...]
