The Royal Bank recently denied a mortgage to Rebel News because of their politics.
About ten years ago, the MTO refused to provide me with a license sticker because my proof of insurance had not been added to the IBC database, even though I had the pink slip right in my hand. The clerk was powerless to do anything. She said, "I can't print your form until it's in the computer."
Even back in the 1990s, the US government was strong-arming credit card companies into refusing to facilitate internet tobacco transactions. In Canada, a short while later, my credit cards stopped working when I tried, legally, to order Marlboros from that company, YesSmoke in Switzerland.
The trajectory was obvious. All it required was for the technology to catch up.
Add a little GangGreen to the mix, and you will find the same thing happening when you try to buy a quarter-pounder.
If you have the right education and training, some things are truly predictable.
April 17, 2020
It's not being caused by the Coronavirus, it's being caused by the government.
Maybe if I say it loud enough, and often enough, people will start to believe it.
Why do the fake stream media keep on lying about this?
I watch the news on my local station over my rabbit ears, and occasionally jump over to a CTV broadcast from Barrie which comes in on channel 35.
I DO NOT tune in to these stations for the NEWS, even though that is what I watch. I tune in so that I will know what kind of horseshit they are spewing into the open, wide open, gapingly open minds of the hoi polloi, and then comparing that with the behavior I see in public and the vomit that spews forth from the mouths of our political "leaders."
Okay, that is not entirely true. Because of my house arrest, and the habit I recently developed of turning on the television I have also been watching some of the re-runs of old shows like, "I Dream of Genie," "Happy Days," and "Cheers." If ever there was a time for nostalgia, this is it. The shows may be a lot of bull, but the casual, unrestricted behavior of the characters is very familiar. The spontaneous order of unregulated social interaction without the need for masks and painted lines on the floor may now be gone forever.
But even those shows are being constantly interrupted by CH's Evening News repeater, Taz Boga, as she and the rest keep on pounding their message away into the minds of their somnambulating receptacles.
It's like a jackhammer pounding away, pounding away.
"Job losses caused by the virus."
"Closed businesses caused by the virus."
"Horrific government debts caused by the virus."
Over, and over, and over, and over.
BULLSHIT.
Do you remember what Climate Barbie famously said?
"if you actually say it louder, we’ve learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally believe it!”
Oh, and that reminds me of that famous statement of another twentieth-century figure who said,
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Hmm, read that last sentence again,
"It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State" and compare that to a recent headline,
"Federal government open to new law to fight pandemic misinformation." -- CBC, April 15, 2020.
In other words, the Liberal government of Canada is demanding that it alone has the power to define, and distribute, or restrict "the truth."
Is it time to start pushing back?
March 21, 2020
Even though I think most of the responses from my favourite institution have been totally disproportionate to this new variant of the common cold, I do see one silver lining.
Most of the resources commandeered by the various governments to "fight" the Chinese virus will be misallocated.
This is an iron law of political economy. For example, they will go hog-wild buying respirators when, perhaps the money would be better spent on Hydroxychloroquine. The result will be typical of socialist lived experience; not enough resources to allocate to real solutions.
A bunch of rusting respirators. A shortage of drugs.
Pots and pans being donated to meet steel production quotas, etc.
Pigs being slaughtered by the millions and left to rot, in order to support pork prices. That sort of thing.
(Then they'll print more money.)
When governments are put in control of the disposition of all resources, inanimate and man-made, they end up wasting them. As Milton Friedman said, "People are never as careful with other people's money as they are with their own." Do you disagree?
Many, if not all, of the FEW apparent exceptions to socialist waste and failure will be emphasized as evidence of the success of socialism, as calving glaciers are touted as evidence of CO2 induced global warming. But when socialism operates on the back of a capitalist base, it can be made to perform miracles, like the socialist medicare regimes in most Western countries. The costs can be fudged, hidden, and politicized. The enterprise won't collapse because of its irrationality because it is "backed" by taxpayers.
It can even begin to deliver a product that has zero, or negative real value. The old Soviet Union might have boasted that they had universal and free medical care but the people weren't fooled, it was just as available as all of the other goods people living in capitalist countries took for granted, NOT.
Speaking of zero or negative value,
The public education system in Ontario is entirely based upon the communist model.
And under all variants of communism there is fear.
From the perspective of a free market purist, it's truly frightening.
But it really must be striking fear into the hearts of the teacher's unions and their membership. A warming planet doesn't mean that EVERYONE is going to suffer. But a mass insanity response to a flu variant has already shown us how MILLIONS of people have been harmed.
But like I said, maybe it's not all bad. Just as the end of the Dark Ages roughly ended with the Bubonic Plague, the era of socialist education may be ushered out by our new, kinder, gentler plague.
A "learn at home portal." The internet version of homeschooling?
Imagine that same headline if there were no Corona holiday.
The teacher's unions would be GOING BALLISTIC!!!
But they can't say fuck all now. Social distancing is becoming the new normal. The classroom is, therefore, obsolete.
Because it won't end with the Coronavirus, virtual homeschooling has gotten its foot in the door.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
May the left eat their own words.
What if Ontario's new Learn at Home portal turns out to be a stunning success?
And it turns out we didn't need those teachers after all?
Karl Denninger goes on to speculate about the number of people who are going to die, or are going to lose their last few opportunities to gain some small human value out of their last days, because of the media-driven, political response to the Coronavirus.
I started to think about this before Karl addressed it in his podcast.
In my own case, I was going to the gym three times a week and I had worked my way up to about forty minutes on the elliptical machine. I chose the elliptical because my feet can't take a lot of pounding.
Then the gym closed, so I started walking up and down Hamilton's mountain stairs. I started thinking of making that permanent instead of paying for a gym membership because it wasn't too hard on my feet. A lot of people were doing the same thing but.... "social distancing" was difficult to observe under the circumstances.
When it started to look like the people in power were going to prohibit stair-walking as well, I decided to try just straight walking. After two walking workouts I noticed that my old back problem from a disc injury had returned. After about a four-mile walk yesterday my back really started to flare up.
Now I am thinking of digging my bike out of the basement but there are physical reasons I don't ride my bike too.
None of these health consequences are likely to require the service of a ventilator and attending technician, but they are health problems that are now being aggravated by the political response to Corona.
And I know I am not the only person being impacted. I'm not going to try to guess at the numbers, but they too, could be in epidemic proportions. And that is just physical health issues. An accounting must also be made of the psychological impact.
On the spectrum of health issues, from mild to severe, that are going to be impacted as we all goose-step into an uncertain future, the question that really needs to be asked is - is the cure worse than the disease?
One of the first laws of political economy that I learned of was that when government acts to "solve" a problem, it almost always creates a whole slew of other, unforeseen, or un-thought-of problems, which ignite the call for yet further government solutions, and so on, and so on, until we end up with a gigantic welfare state which inevitably collapses. I've witnessed the incremental steps in this process over and over again. (remember the term, "creeping socialism?")
That's why it was second nature for me to start questioning the whole Coronavirus narrative from the very start.
Warning: The video in the link below contains misinformation, missing context, false claims, conspiracy theories, and everything else that would attract attention and rebuttal from Facebook's so-called "fact-checkers."
Come to think of it, though, you could say exactly the same thing about the effluent coming from the Trudeau-bribed Junk News media in Canada. (Watch CHCH "News" if you want an example.)
I first tripped over Alex Jones and Infowars back around 2006. Ironically, I did so by following a link on Facebook!
When I first signed up on Facebook, it was just a curiosity. So I signed on and took a peek around. After a week or so, I had had enough of receiving fake Tim Horton Rims and "pokes" from "friends," to conclude that Facebook was not for me. Facebook was designed for the type of audience that scheduled the game show, "Family Fued," so as not to miss it.
But I then had a sudden inspiration. What if I started searching for "friends" that had keywords like "libertarian" and "conservative" associated with their profiles? What if I could build a network and use it as a soapbox for my own wild analyses? I found lots. I sent out so many "friend" requests that Facebook restricted my activity, telling me that I had to actually "know" these "friends." This is odd, considering that Facebook's ultimate success was fostered by millions of other users doing exactly the same thing as I was doing. The cat video and dinner photo Facebook cohort probably do know most of their "friends." On the other hand, those who employ Facebook as a networking tool have probably never actually had face-to-face encounters with 1% of their "friends."
Come to think of it, these c*cksu*kers have been sticking their noses in to their users' business right from the start. At first they employed a light touch, but when they got big, they really started flexing their muscles. We've seen the same phenomenon with Canada's current Führer. At first, he knew that he was just a charlatan. But after five or six years of seeing the media and the hair-style loving public suck his c*ck, he actually started to think he could walk on water.
Or even,
fly,
Which is not really a stretch, since the obnoxious, megalomanaiacal little charlatan has already convinced himself that he can heal the sick and has the power to control the climate,
Anyway, shortly after I discovered a practical use for Facebook, I came across a link to a guy I had never heard of. His name was Alex Jones and his organization was called Infowars.
I followed the link and sampled the guy. He seemed to be a real nut bar to me, but some of the things he said made a lot of sense.
To make a long story short, I became a regular Alex Jones watcher for about ten years.
I never bought into his whole schtick, but I knew that, in terms of putting the insanity we see around us into some kind of understandable context, paying attention to Alex Jones was a lot more profitable than pretending to be an intellectual urinal, passively guzzling the daily expectorate from the mainstream media. Instead of a stream of contextless soundbites, Jones actually got me thinking. I learned a lot.
Over the next decade, I drifted away from Jones. Not because he didn't provide knowledge and insight, but because so many other thinkers were coming out with fantastic content too.
Anyway, this evening, I revisited Jones for the first time in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It is not necessary to expect complete accuracy from viewing it. The true value I derive from Alex is that he paints a picture of the massive fraud that is being perpetrated by governments and Junk News media that gives me a perfect conceptual template for use in understanding what is being done to us.
It's a pretty good template.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present
Alex Jones
And by the way, and this addresses the level of respect Facebook actually has for its subscribers.
You see, Alex Jones was one of my Facebook "friends" up until Twitler, YouTube, and Facebook, in an obviously coordinated attack on Jones, opted to erase Mr. Jones. In doing so, they removed him from my "friends" list without even having the decency to inform me that they had made the decision to remove Jones, and others, from my "friends" list, as though they had never existed. Yet this deviously manpipulative corporation still has the gall to send me messages like this one,
I didn't scan this one for spelling errors, so pardome me <sic> if it's a little rough around the edges. It can't be much worse than what I've been reading in the Hamilton Spectator and its affiliates, lately.
Schmoo respondent, when asked about how he liked being fondled by TSA checkpoint agents,
"I let my doctor stick his finger up my ass. Why wouldn't I let my government do it? It's all about keeping people safe, right?"
WOWZAAA!
That's what the email from Food Basics said.
It's trying to bullshit me into thinking that $3.88 is a real bargain for butter.
I'm not much of a sophisticated shopper, but I do keep a close eye on a few items. One of them is butter.
Every pound of butter I have in my freezer cost me $2.99. I wait for the sales, and then I stock up.
Of course, after two years of watching what that sleazy c*cks*cker, Justin Trudeau, was up to, I knew the days of $2.99 butter were coming to an end.
So just now, I got this insulting ad from Food Basics telling me that $3.88 is a "WOWZAAA!" price for butter.
Like fuck, it is.
I don't blame Food Basics, but I don't like being lied to. I know Food Basics are just as sleazy and greedy as the average Liberal. That's just capitalism in a mixed economy, where government coercion is mixed with private businesses to achieve "equity," where sleazy politicians decide what "equity," is and arrange "partnerships" with private companies to "help" the marginalized population.
Again, I don't blame Food Basics for the price increase. I know exactly who is behind it. It's their god-damned dishonesty that rankles me. Why don't they just admit that they are a bunch of whores and that, the price is the price, and if you don't want to pay it, then you can just go and jerk off. Just like if you don't want to take the shot, it's your choice. Take the shot or get fired. They can afford to lose you. Justin just bragged about importing 400,000 replacements last year.
As if, like the typical Canadian sheeple, I have the memory of a gnat.
$3,88 for a pound of butter is not "WOWZAAA!." It is, effectively, a fucking 30% INCREASE in the price of butter.
I could be jumping the gun here. Maybe butter will come back on sale at $2.99 a pound. But I doubt it.
And the sheeple just guzzle the horseshit. COVID-19 caused this, and a bunch of white supremacist truck drivers are to blame, and a snowstorm - like we've never had one of those before the climate started to change. Government policy has nothing to do with it, if you believe Taz Boga and Marvin Rider. Suddenly, one snowstorm explains the empty shelves. How far does it have to go before you idiots realize that they are fucking you up the ass? They are stealing the value of your dollars and telling you it's raining.
Aside:
I'm almost 68 years old and I have seen a few doozer snowstorms, but I don't EVER remember one that was so bad that it caused supply chain disruptions serious enough to warrant coverage in the Junk News media.
Not that anyone will see my complaint. It's too obvious by now that Facebook's switchboard operators are listening in on everyone's conversations, and if the "woke" operators don't like what is being said, they just disconnect the lines.
And there is nothing you can do about it, other than squawk about it to a few friends on your email list.
Those without historical knowledge will not realize that this is Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union in hyperdrive. Firing squads and ovens are no longer needed to suppress opposition. Just cancel the guy's bank, social media, PayPal, and GoFundMe accounts.
"No man, no problem," as Stalin is reputed to have said.
And when the currency is fully digitized, there WILL BE NO ESCAPE. And you can forget about having a cash stash. It will be as worthless as a Hamilton taxi plate.
And by the way. This is how they stole the 2020 election. No ballot box stuffing was required.
If you click on the "See Link" hyperlink, below, you will be able to view a short panel discussion about COVID-19 vaccines.
Several claims are made by the person who first addresses the panel.
- that the vaccines contain fetal cells.
- that Dr. Andreas Noack, who reported that the vaccines contain graphene hydroxide,
was murdered.
- that a German doctor committed suicide after admitting the vaccines were really about totalitarian control.
- that the vaccines contain self-assembling, tentacled nanobots.
Like most people, I regard these claims as being rather "out there," in terms of credibility.
Nevertheless, I did watch the entire video. Unlike those who are being "protected" from such claims by shadowy "fact-checkers," employed by social media corporations, I like to hear BOTH sides of the story.
I don't have to go out of my way to hear the ONE side of the story: the one that has been jackhammered into all of our brains by politicians, the Trudeau-subsidized corporate media in Canada, and the social media giants.
On the other hand, we have information and opinion that all the above-mentioned interests have been diligently trying to jackhammer OUT of our minds.
Since nature, the history I have learned, and my lived experience have have allowed me to imagine degrees of evil in this world that the majority of my compatriots cannot imagine, I tend to bite the apple. My curiosity is driven, not so much by a desire to hear what these untermensch are saying, but rather by a desire to know why the establishment DOESN'T want me to see it.
There are things you can learn by this approach. One involves credible information and opinion that is being censored on all fronts. Another one of them is an answer to this question: Are the "fact-checkers" being honest?
In this particular case, it should be obvious that the "fact-checkers" are not being honest at all, since the video encompasses much more than the claim that COVID-19 vaccines contain cells from aborted fetuses. Much more.
Secondly, the contents of the panel discussion reveal areas of concern in which questions should be asked. It suggests the real reason for the bullying and intimidation employed by Facebook is not to prevent misinformation, but to prevent the incurious from being exposed to some of the important questions that are being asked about the vaccines.
So, if you are one of the majority, and you see my post with the warning image plastered on top of it, you will probably click on "See Why," if at all. If curious at all, you will probably also click on "See Link."
I recommend doing both. Do the "See Why" first. Then tell me if you think the "debunking" of the claim about fetal cells in vaccines honestly addresses the contents of the suspect video. And if you think the panelists come across as a group of tinfoil hatters raving about self-assembling nanobots.
Just now, at about 7:40 PM, I posted the following clip on Facebook. It's an experiment to see if this one gets "fact-checked."
Does anyone want to place a bet?
Mob Rule
Back around 1995, Morgan Kranstz argued in favour of making bicycle helmets mandatory in Ontario. Mr. Kranstz said, "Personal freedom is essential in our society, but when I have to pay for someone else making a mistake while exercising that freedom, it becomes intrusive."
The demands for most other Na.... Nanny State impositions, from mandatory seatbelts, to smoking edicts, flow from the same logic. I understood this simple principle back in 1974, when I was 20 years old.
At least, within the context of a socialized medicare system, the view has some logic. If you want free stuff, kiss your freedom goodbye. It's either/or, not both.
The view that everyone should be forced to accept an experimental injection flows, in part, from the same collectivist logic, but then it is carried to a hysterical extreme. It's like arguing that bicycle helmets only work if everyone wears one.
It ought to be obvious, by now, that the vaccines have done nothing to stop the spread of the Coof. So the argument that getting vaccinated protects others is nonsense. (As is the argument that banning smoking on patios and in public parks protects innocent bystanders, even if there are no bystanders. That's where the hazards of tertiary smoke chime in. Even the sight of or, the thought of, someone smoking can be "harmful.")
All that is left is the argument that certain perceived risky behaviours ought to be prohibited if they compete for medical resources. Broadly applied, and given there is almost no human behaviour devoid of risk, the pro-mandate mob are unwittingly embracing unlimited violations of personal choice.
Thus, in a collectivized society, all freedom becomes "intrusive".
This is the megalomaniac that is issuing commands to the people of Canada. This guy. This chamelion. This pissant. I doubt this posturing, sociopathic phony could even hammer a nail in straight, yet he is deciding the fate of MILLIONS of Canadians. It has nothing to do with his abilities. The system installed this joker.
I know what you're thinking,
How could a sleazebag, whose actual skills would make it difficult for him to get a job as a janitor, possibly be the Prime Minister of Canada? I mean, you've got to be fucking kidding.
A short documentary on my temporary expulsion from Twitter which, it is my hope, I will reveal just how manipulative, hypocritical, and dishonest, this disgracefully abusive social media information valve really is.
Poor kids. They are innocent as new snow. Sadly, there are those who will not demur from using them to promote an agenda.
I have been reporting on the curious way the Ontario Government's "Cases by Age" numbers have been jumping around like Mexican jumping beans for at least a week now. Here is the latest development in this ongoing info-mystery.
The Cases by Age table is gone! I mean, it's gone! Vanished, Erased. Yesterday, January 18, 2022, it was still in its usual position, just under the graph and table for Effective reproduction number (Re).
Why is it gone today?
I have no idea, but I can paint a plausible scenario. Let's say, in pursuit of maintaining the panic, the politicians, teacher's unions, and Junk News media start becoming increasingly shrill over the impact of COVID-19 on children. If that were to happen, it becomes much more difficult for investigative reporters, like me, to access the numbers to compare the scare and the data.
We are living in very strange times.
Also, another milestone has been crossed in Ontario. The "fully vaccinated" patients in the ICU are now a majority.
This is what that pie chart looked like on November 29, 2021.
If the numbers of "fully vaccinated" patients in ICU continues along this trend, will the pie chart also dissapear?
Also noteworthy. The Rate per 100,000 (7-day average) infections positive PCR tests has been consistently higher for the "fully vaccinated" since about Devember 24, 2021.
You are confused by what public health is. I hope you discover the truth and escape the deception of this world before it's too late for repentance. This is a good video. The scamdemic and all the tyranny it brought can go to hell. pic.twitter.com/A7TkVbNT33
Yesterday, https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data/case-numbers-and-spread was reporting 3 deaths with positive PCR tests in the under 20 age group, and today, they are reporting 12.
How the heck are they coming up with these numbers? Do they just spin a wheel?
Why are people so desperate to get their children vaccinated when, since the beginning, it has been known by non-Junk News junkies, that children are barely impacted by the Wu?
Today, January 13, 2022,, Ontario is reporting 3, yes, THREE deaths of people under the age of twenty with positive PCR tests. That is down from five on Tuesday, and nine a week ago. (btw: 3 deaths in that age group equals a 0.002% Case Fatality Rate)
According to the Ontario government's own numbers.
But that could change by tomorrow🤨
I know the “vaccines” are supposed to reduce the severity of the illness, but are they also reducing the severity of death?
Numbers are bouncing around like Mexican jumping beans (yes, I know! But I don't give a fuck) for the other age brackets as well.
