Ticked Off Yet?

The #ClimateScam is coming on thicker and heavier than ever and it is being pushed to the hilt by Trudeau's bought and paid-for Junk News media.

Don't let them get away with it.

The French Civil War

As a result of recent changes at Twitter, I can no longer share links to tweets.

I will embed tweets here to see if that works.

Riots spreading to Belgium and Switzerland.

But first, there's this:

Now to the mostly peaceful protests in France. As far as I know, no bank accounts have been frozen.

The Piranha Brothers Party of Canada

“Canadians need to be able to access news. It’s fundamental to their democracy. We’re not going to put up with Facebook’s bullying,” Trudeau told reporters on June 13.

Ponce Trudeau and his gaggle of psychotic apparatchiks have outdone themselves with this latest demonstration of their rectal/cranial "thinking." In their utterly twisted minds, they sincerely believe that if Google and Facebook choose not to pay "protection money," to the Trudeau bullies, that THEY are the bullies. That is typical woke liberalism. Always blame the other guy for what YOU are guilty of.

This issue reminds me of that old Monty Python skit where two criminal brothers devise an operation whereby they threaten to beat their victim up if he pays them the "protection money."

Google and Facebook have been helping the struggling Canadian news organizations by providing free links to their bullshit content on their platforms. But the Trudeau Piranhas think that is a problem.

Trudeau said tech companies are making skyrocketing profits while “local journalism has struggled in terms of getting news out to people in ways that matter locally.”

So, whereas, before Liberal rectal/cranialism was applied, tech companies that were helping local journalists get their Junk News propaganda out to the public - for free - Trudeau's Liberals are now threatening NOT to charge them "protection money" if they DON'T post links to Canadian Junk News.

They should change the name of the Liberal Party to the Piranha Brothers Party.

You just can't make this shit up!

But Monty Python could.

Abolish Compulsory Government Schooling

I just finished reading my second book by John Taylor Gatto (December 15, 1935 – October 25, 2018.)

He advocates for the abolition of compulsory schooling and his reasons make for an amazing read. And he's a great writer.

I first questioned compulsory education when I was about nine years old, in Grade 4. It was November.

How can I remember it was in November?

Because it was on, or slightly before Remembrance Day and we were being treated to the standard lecture about why Remembrance Day was so important.

The story went like this.

Canadians had fought and sacrificed their lives in two world wars to defend our freedom.

I already knew that my attendance in that classroom had been mandated by the state, so I put up my hand as I had been trained to do, and asked the following question:

"If Canada is a free country, then how come we are forced to be in school?"

I can't remember the answer I received and, at that age, I didn't dwell on the subject for more than a minute. But I still remember asking that question. Something about what we were being "taught" seemed to be full of BS.

Barely ten years later I stumbled into libertarianism which prompted me to reject the legitimacy of compulsory government education for two reasons.

1 - in a free country, the state should be prohibited from compelling obedience,

and,

2 - in a free country, the state should be prohibited from forcing some people to pay for other people's education.

People called me every name in the book, including dumb, naive, and stupid, but no one was able to provide a credible rebuttal to my assessment that the basic morality of compulsory government education was corrupt. And I was never able to shake the conviction that any system based on moral corruption would result in anything but misery and failure in the long run. (And look at where we are today!)

Call me a confirmation bias addict, but John Taylor Gatto's book just gave me a whole bunch of reasons to believe that I was right all along.

A Small Slice of Hamilton History

Confessions of a Hamilton Cab Driver

I wrote a book.

"Now, Hans Wienhold has published to Amazon his first full book, “Confessions of a Hamilton Cab Driver,” and it is a blast."

(See Rita Smith's review in Road Warrior News here.)

It's about my experiences over the years in the Hamilton taxi business. I threw a few opinions of mine into the mix.

From the description:

This is the story of one man's adventures in the Hamilton taxi business spanning the years from 1977 to 2018.

There is nothing particularly unique about my story. Every cab driver has his own. Not every cab driver gets around to writing a book about it.

Over the years I drove thousands of customers to their destinations. Most were happily satisfied with my service, if not downright euphoric.

While the stories told in this manuscript are derived from the way the taxi business operated in Hamilton, Ontario in those times, I am confident that any taxi driver, just about anywhere in the world will be able to relate to them.

Some will find my tactics in the trade disagreeable. Others will nod their heads knowingly. Politicians and their regulatory staffers will be outraged. They will certainly want to drag me in front of one of their tribunals to cancel my taxi driver's license and prohibit me from ever driving a cab again.

Too bad for them. I already quit.

Over the last four plus decades, I don't know how many times people have told me, "You should write a book."

Well, okay.

I just did.

Now all you need to do is buy it, and read it.
