The Art of Distraction

(updated on the bottom of post)


Gordon Campbell and his paid stooges keep on trying to turn the tide, it`s not working and won`t, the "present" Government and the media have no idea what they are up against, not only have the electorate from all political stripes tuned their disractive propaganda out but, B.C. has the highest percentage of people who are wired, on line, a staggering 76% of BCers are on line, that means for the most part they are reading the real media, web sites, blogs, no longer are Canwest and the MSM able to dominate the message.

Vaughn Palmer has a pathetic distracting column today, Vaughn has got his latest marching orders and new knee pads, lets do a little brief history, Gordon Campbell and his spineless jellyfish party stabbed us in the back immediately after the election with BCs largest deficit and the HST, Campbell had 10 months to convince us that the HST is good before Bill Vander Zalm`s anti-HST petition even started, 10 months, and despite the chamber`s of commerce, despite all the corporate hacks, despite the Fraser institute, regardless of all the corporate shills and media propaganda the public said no the to tax transfer.......

Zalm`s(CherlyB) petition didn`t start til May 2010, even after the Olympic fever people still weren`t buying what red mitten man was selling, Palmer/Good/Baldrey/greasy Les Leyne, cknw/Canwest Global, all of them scoffed at the petition succeeding, it couldn`t be done, impossible, but once the writing was on the wall the Campbell abuse began, desparage Vander Zalm, the man who brought the dreaded property tax, the so-called disgraced premier from the past, that folks was the new stooge spin last spring, the attempt to distract failed, no one bought the property transfer tax argument because 5 terms of Government could have removed the tax with a stroke of a pen, no big deal, no asking Ottawa, the argument failed, the big business Geoff Plant law suit failed, Campbell couldn`t send out his 11th hour HST propaganda flyers, even the Crimean war veteran Sam the hst man who called in everyday to cknw to tell us how great the tax is and how economically challenged us voters were wasn`t working.......

The message ran into a brick wall, the distractions kept coming, the new attack was, the NDP will bring in other higher taxes so you better keep the hst, then there was the .....The HST will fund health, education, and tons of new services, yet the public knows what revenue neutral to Government means, quickly the people learned that the HST brings less money to the treasury than the PST did, each and every gambit thunk up by Campbell`s PAB gang failed, the next distraction is the dreaded pay back of $1.6 billion that isn`t even being booked in full for years, the public closed its ears, and of course we know that ICBC just happens to have an extra $3 billion dollars laying around that they don`t need for claims, they need but $1.5 billion for claims so there is plenty of money to pay the feds back, another wasted distraction....

So desperate are the hacks in Government, no matter what they do the people have made up their minds, even the 50 to 1 pro-hst guests on the not so giant cknw are falling on deaf ears, but last week the stooges launched a brand new tactic, it started on last week`s cutting ledge show, the gordon Campbell pimps decided to turn the conversation into.....

The bad old political opportunists, the Friday stooges threw mud at everyone, mud at carole James, Delaney, the Zalm, Tieleman, the BC Conservatives, the NDP, the new distraction was trying to plant seeds in people`s minds that the HST petition was not about the tax but about Zalm re-launching his political career, Zalm for premier, Delaney for premier, overthrow the Government, the whole petition was a ruse to confuse the people and take over the Government.........What a joke friends, and the game of distraction continued in full force with Specter and the traitorous Monte Paulsen and Bill good on the Monday morning quarterback show, only it was 2 barrell attack today, it was the disgraced premier Vander Zalm show and no one cares about the HST it was all a ruse to re-launch political careers through trickery and guile show on cknw....

And the latest attempt of distraction continues with the same tired theme in Vaughn the pawn Palmer`s column today, Zalm wants to be premier, Delaney wants to be a MLA, Tieleman wants to overthrow the Government, Charlie Wyse is desperate to get his seat back, Nazi`s want power, separatists want power, the whole Province full of political opportunists and the HST petition was nothing but an elaborate scheme to take power from the grueling Liberal party....

That`s the theme of the Palmer column today, the same script from last friday, the identical playbook of the Monday stooges, that and we should all be content to wait a year and believe that Campbell will keep his word on the referendum(And Campbell never lies), 50% plus 1 and the HST is gone, although Palmer doesn`t bother to mention, either did Pausen,Specter or Good that Gordon Campbell refuses to enshrine in law that the referendum will be binding with a simple majority!

Time for the Straight Goods....Listen up stooges, I know your reading this, if the anti-hst petition fell flat on its face the battle would have ended, but we tapped into BCs own tea party movement, Zalm doesn`t want to be premier, he`s an old man(sharp as a tack but old) ....If Campbell respected the WILL of the PEOPLE and removed the HST the battle would be over, if Campbell through the Legislature enshrined in law that the HST referendum was binding and moved up the vote to even 6 months from now the battle would be over, but none of those options were taken by Campbell....

There would be no Recalls if Campbell listened to the people who pay his cheque and Golden pension, so for you paid stooges, Baldrey/Palmer/Good/Leyne/Cluck Cluck/Pausen/Specter/MacDonald/Vancouver Sun/CTV......To try and make the case that this whole petition was an elaborate ruse to overthrow the Government, well, whatever your smoking where can I get some?
As for political opportunists, I remember the Kevin Falcon "Total Recall" campaign, not a game show but an Arnold B movie comparison, ya think Falcon wouldn`t have run for office like a "political opportunist" if he had succeeded in "total recall" ?......

Let me be perfectly clear, the recalls will be successful, so if I was Charlie Wyse or Chris Delaney or any other political opportunist I would be licking my chops for the chance for a cushy gig in Victoria, think of the perks, the free housing, ask Ida chomp chomp Chong about the lunch arrangement, the holidays, no fall sessions, who wouldn`t want that job, and if the shoe was on the other foot the BC Liberals would do the exact same thing, only you stooges would be cheering....

But be that as it may, this opportunity was caused by a corrupt lying Gordon Campbell and he has had a 100 chances to reverse course, your latest gambit, the on message spin,

"The art of Distraction"

Remember about art stooges, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

The people of British Columbia have seen your baubles and beads and we ain`t buying it!


(updated here)....If anyone has any doubts about the latest Canwest Vancouver Sun tactic of distraction, the Vancouver Sun has run another edirtorial/opinion piece in today`s paper, the article is an attacking story aimed at Bill Vander Zalm, and guess what folks, Vaughn Palmer wrote the article in 1991.....!!!!!! These guys are so desperate, so lame, how about the Vancouver Sun re-posting Campbell`s drunk driving announcement from 2001/.....And also for those with Eyes Wide Open.....Norman Specter yesterday on the cknw Monday morning quarterback show....Norman Specter said on air and i quote...." I would like to see the Vancouver Sun write background stories on Bill Vander Zalm`s disgrace"...And lo n behold the next day the Vancouver Sun obliges with a 20 year old column from Vaughn the pawn Palmer
