<br />
Having immersed myself in the dark void of soulless data I find myself becoming increasingly bitter and callous......<br />
<br />
If only you could see the world through my eyes, maybe you can, that is my ultimate goal, enlightenment, perhaps that is part of the media`s problem, do journalists see what we see, I can`t sleep anymore, the nightmares don`t stop..<br />
<br />
I woke up to tears again this morning, how many of you wake up every other day with salty drops running down your cheeks, have the reporters and journalists stopped seeing, reporting, feeling so they can sleep, I have not that answer but I,..........But I need the tears, it reminds that I still care, my dad has been fishing without me all month, how he does it is beyond me he is over 80, he drags my mom up in the morning and prods her to the boat,a difficult task 20 years ago but now that my mom`s legs don`t work is amazing, a recent colon cancer survivor, lumps, bumps and breakdowns of body will not stop him, not only is he fighting the clock but also the demons.....<br />
<br />
A fear of losing his mind has shaped his routine, no one wins that battle with time, at best you can hold the swinging pendulum at bay but for a moment, recently I was in a special section of the Maple Ridge hospital, the woman I was visiting is fighting for freedom, a girl too young to be looking for freedom, society stole her sanity and left her to fend for herself.......<br />
<br />
Will her mind return is unknown, the vast majority of patients, victims, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers in this unit are lost, the visitors to this place are me, sons, daughters, lovers and as I observe, watch, document, sons talking to fathers, daughters to mothers and I see blank stares and fear, blank stares from these loved ones whose minds are gone, memories purged, emotions ripped from their souls only to be replaced with pills and water......And fear in the eyes of blood related visitors........<br />
<br />
Fear of ending up in the same place, crossword puzzles and Sudoko have been standard fare for my dad for years, I know what his fear is, not the clock but the blank stare, he has no worries as he still betters me when watching/playing Jeopardy, I am looking forward to spending labour day weekend with my parents, fishing with mom and dad has always been a temporary tear stopper for me, China <a href="http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.com/2009/09/farewell-to-friendswish-you-were-here.html">Creek </a>and <a href="http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.com/2009/09/bamfield-land-time-forgot.html">Bamfield </a>will provide the backdrop......<br />
<br />
Recently mom told me dad said to her that despite his fits of anger towards me at times that he thinks I`m brilliant, I have been waiting a lifetime to hear that, not that I am brilliant or special but who doesn`t need the occasional compliment, with my dad emotions have always been hard for him, where as my mom it`s the complete opposite, passion and anger bubbles through......<br />
<br />
Someone blessed me with a mix of both, cold calculated analytical with uncontrollable emotions, I was raised with warnings about being cannon fodder, taught to think and decide, to examine all sides and be vocal, yet that price is tears when I sleep and thoughts that can`t be stopped, happiness is fleeting and eludes me and I can`t help but think of the blank stares of fathers and mothers whose minds have been purged and the children who live in fear of ending up in the same state.......<br />
<br />
Why? Those empty minds sleep without tears and peace seems to be in their grasp, I have not any answers only more questions, I`ll be gone fishing next week and I will have arguments with my dad and lose every one of them and he won`t call me brilliant, he`ll call me something and when I sleep I will wake up to tears and any happiness will be but a facade, my earliest memories are of fishing with dad and mom wiping my tears away, I was never promised happiness, all I look forward to now is completion, you know what our goal is and damn it, even if it kills me we will continue......<br />
<br />
And I wouldn`t want it any other way........<br />

Rudy Giuliana's mystery laptop discovered by a blind computer repairman story was a comic-book comedy and more...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was a scheme cooked up by Donald Trump, a lame limp attempt, a failed October surprise...Trump's and Rudy's amateur scheme proved one thing......Donald Trump did pressure Ukraine to cook up a case against Joe Biden..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">PARTY POLITICS</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Party politics is what is wrong with Democracy, our side, your side participants have polluted the process and poisoned the well of so-called civilized societies.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">In 2016 two despised candidates vied for the presidency, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump...</span></p><p> Democrats didn't want Hillary Clinton as their candidate but party backroomers stacked the deck in her favor, that brutal miscalculation directly led to Donald Trump taking power and take power he did, Trump's power was not Republican power it was his personal power, what I mean by that is...</p><p>Everything Trump did was to advance his personal cause, not the cause of improving America and in doing so, Trump exposed a Republican party devoid of ethics and lacking a spine.</p><p>Imagine this,(we don't have to imagine, it happened in real time) ...A man is elected president of the United States of America, first thing he does is insult world leaders, he treats woman and people of colour like scurvy, he lies over 25,000 times in three years, refuses to hand over tax returns or financial information, he grifts the US taxpayer of millions of dollars, he funnels money into his pockets..</p><p>Need more...Donald Trump is/was a sexual predator....Trump robbed and stole from workers, contractors, avoided paying taxes and defaulted on $billions in loans. Trump cheated on all his wives, Trump ripped off family members and more...</p><p>Nobody with even a tenth of Trump's scandals would even be considered as a viable candidate for dog catcher let alone president of the United States.....So what happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>PARTY POLITICS is what happened along with the distortion of the electoral college.</p><p>And i'm not saying Democrats are much better than Republicans but the bottom line is....Republicans could care less how unethical, how immoral or how unfit for office Donald Trump is, he's their candidate so they close eyes, plug their ears and deny the factual writings of Trump wrong-doing in print, visual proof in video and undisputed documented facts from watchdogs throughout government..</p><p>Republican Senators and Congressmen chose self survival, money and power over truth and justice, even today, after Donald Trump has clearly been defeated elected Republicans and party members refuse to acknowledge that fact.....Donald J Trump was soundly defeated at the polls by the mushy middle, independent non-party voters rejected Donald Trump on masse..</p><p>Donald Trump despite being a very flawed and broken human being could have won a second term if..</p><p>If he took the virus serious, if he campaigned in the 21st century rather than dwell on life in the 1950s, a time when a single wage earner could pay the bills, a time when most wives were housewives but that reality has been gone for decades, long gone is a time when single earner families thrived, today in 2020 it takes two earners to survive financially and family, as in having kids is pushed to later in life and instead of 5 children or 10 children the new norm is one, or two....or even none...indeed, the times did change for most, but not for Donald J Trump....Donald never moved past the 1950s...He was too isolated and sheltered, he was sculpted by Fred Trump, Trump's father was a racist and cheater extraordinaire and Donald Trump was his star student....The rest is history.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>From the bowels of the beast came the reelection Campaign from Hell</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Just think about what Trump said over and over during the last few months of the 2020 campaign.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Biden will take away your 2nd amendment.</li><li>Biden will raise taxes 400%</li><li>Biden will take away God</li><li>Biden will outlaw religion</li><li>Biden will destroy the suburbs</li><li>Biden will have open borders</li><li>Biden will release violent offenders</li><li>Biden will defund the police</li><li>Biden will indoctrinate your children</li><li>Biden is owned by China, owned by Iran</li><li>Biden is a corrupt politician</li><li>Biden and his family are a criminal organization</li><li>Biden will allow infanticide up to 9 months</li><li>Biden will turn America into a Socialist country</li><li>Biden will turn America into a Communist country</li><li>Biden will turn America into a Marxist </li></ul><p></p><p>Those are but a small example of the poisonous utterings by Donald Trump.</p><p>Trump never surpassed 50% approval rate in 4 years as president and ...</p><p>And over the last 6 months Trump deliberately laid the narrative America finds itself today, and I quote..</p><p>For at least 6 months Trump has stated..</p><p>"The only way I can lose the 2020 election is through fraud and a rigged election" snip</p><p><br /></p><p>Donald J Trump lost......Donald Trump will be removed from the office of the Whitehouse on January 20th/2021.....But it's gonna get real ugly..</p><p>Trump is restructuring the Pentagon, removing all persons he deems a threat, he's installing Trump loyalists in key positions....Trump believes in his muddled mind that if he removes the Pentagons' civilian oversight and installs sycophants that the Pentagon powers for removing a defiant defeated president will vanish....Delusional indeed, but that's the domain Donald Trump's head space occupies.</p><p>Even worse, Donald Trump, besides not doing anything his job as president requires is planning on doing a series of MAGA election fraud rallies.....</p><p>Trump will never concede or admit he lost the 2020 election and a civil war is what Trump is trying to start.</p><p>75 million people voted against Trump, ....Even the electoral college numbers went against him...</p><p>306 to 232</p><p>None of that matters to Donald....Trump is propagating debunked conspiracy theory after debunked conspiracy theory..</p><p>Recounts will not change any state results....The courts, even the Conservative stacked Supreme court isn't going to overturn any state election results(Trump is very dismayed that the supreme court won't bend to his twisted whims)</p><p>That leaves but one last option for Donald Trump.....Maga rallies spewing election fraud lies, Proud Boys, Klansmen, Boogaloo boys and closed minded MAGA zombies rioting and tearing up America.</p><p>Donald J Trump is going to leave a violent flaming mess behind him as he departs the stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is only one way to put this impending fire out......</p><p><br /></p><p>All media, including Fox news must call Trump out, call him the loser he is, even if that means losing a large percentage of their viewing audience..</p><p>The days of big media trying to coddle the disturbed Donald Trump must end..</p><p>Start by ignoring Trump...Do not broadcast his upcoming MAGA rallies, do not broadcast his propaganda whitehouse yarnfests disguised as press conferences, don't broadcast Ronna McDaniel and <span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face=""Google Sans", arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">Kayleigh McEnany....Don't give any Trumpers airtime..</span></p><p>If Trump is successful in turning over the election results and nullifying over 75 million voters that rejected him...It will not be IF THERE IS A CIVIL WAR BUT WHEN A CIVIL WAR STARTS.</p><p>Don't give Donald Trump anything but dead air.</p><p>The only way to diffuse Donald Trump is to treat him as if he doesn't exist.</p><p>That's the only way to stop Trump.....The onus is on all big media, and that includes Fox News!</p><p><br /></p><p>Time to Drift Away</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen=""

/></a></div><br /><p></p><p>(Picture is from the J6 committee today...Ruby Freeman and her beautiful daughter Shaye Moss)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><u>Written by Grant G</u></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was brought to tears watching today's J6 hearing...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It wasn't Brad Raffensberg or Rusty Bowers testimony that welled up my eyes it was Ruby Freeman and especially her daughter Shaye Moss as they told the story about how two proud, American, patriotic and black beauties had their lives torn asunder by a lying conman named Donald Trump.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaye Moss entered the chamber with her mother Ruby Freeman in tow..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They sat at the witness table in front of the committee, a visibly nervous Shaye Moss initially struggled with the on/off switch on the microphone, as procedures demand that the switch is turned off when listening and on when talking..Someone nearby eventually just turned on the microphone and left the microphone on...That was an appropriate move.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The J6 panel played some clips of Trump calling Shaye and Ruby out, tweets from Trump criminally accusing both of them with horrific election changing crimes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The panel, Adam Schiff asked Shaye how this affected her life..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaye told her story, how she was forced to leave her home, go into hiding...she went on to say that even today, she's a shut-in, gained 60 pounds..Doesn't leave her home..Shaye talked about how she was bombarded with death threats and now lives in fear of near everybody she doesn't know.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But before she spoke of her current nightmare she spoke eloquently albeit nervously how proud she was to work for Fulton county as an election worker for 10 years...How she went out of her way to assist older person of colour who in their living memory weren't allowed to vote..She beamed, briefly in speaking how she brought applications to vote to a hospital bound person..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Her testimony was devastating, heartfelt and sadly, patriotic...Shaye Moss, the only child of her mother Ruby Freeman(ironic, Ruby's last name being Freeman...Trump took away both Ruby's and Shaye's freedom) was telling how guilty she felt, guilty because her mom Ruby Freeman was not an election worker but a volunteer, Shaye was feeling personally guilty for asking her mom to volunteer, and how this simple act ruined not only her life but her elderly mom's life too..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>It was a moment for the ages</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ruby Freeman, Shaye's mom didn't testify live but the J6 panel had taped statements and testimony from Ruby, those Ruby statements stirred my inner emotions..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ruby Freeman spoke of how she taught her daughter Shaye to do the right thing, she told her story too..How she was forced to go into hiding, how she was a small business owner in the unique clothing business..She told the story of how she was known as "lady Ruby" and had shirts of all colours with that statement on it, she was an older woman who was proud of her local accomplishments ...She hasn't worn the shirts since Donald Trump put a target on her and her daughter..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Both Ruby's and Shaye's testimony revealed so much more...How both of them became vilified and outcasts in their own towns..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaye Moss told how she wasn't a big Facebook user but did have an account, she didn't even know how the messaging feature worked, when she was asked to check it, and shown how...The messages were vile, racist and more..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaye Moss also testified how alarmed she was that the president of the USA, the most powerful political person in the world brought down the wrath of his supporters upon her and her mom...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A clearly nervous Shaye Moss's testimony was earth-shattering....A lowly election worker(I don't mean any ill by that statement, just highlighting how low Trump was to target her, or any election worker) and her volunteer mom targeted by the president, targeted by Donald Trump...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The J6 panel aired excerpts from the infamous Trump call to Brad Raffensberger.....Trump in that phone call called Ruby Freeman " A hustler, a vote scammer" and worse..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Maga, Rudy Giuliani and other Trump terrorists also claimed Ruby, in the State Farm video passed her daughter Shaye a USB stick...When the panel asked what her mom handed her in the video...She answered.."a ginger mint"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaye Moss and her mom Ruby Freeman are two beautiful souls with patriotic hearts, two proud black Americans who today won my inner soul..And that's not easy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wish you all the best Ruby and Shaye, I hope your lives return to normal and pray that wealth, health and respect find you.....You both deserve it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">(If you haven't seen their testimony, please do so..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">J6 Hearing number 4

To advance mankind, to promote unity among nations, to deter fossil fuel use, to campaign on climate change, to push a narrative of protecting environments, protecting our only planet, was Elon's acquisition of Twitter not only extremely expensive but was it also noble, altruistic, a higher calling of sorts or was it....</p><p><b>To bring back Donald Trump?</b></p><p>Before we get started let's disclose some facts that may be connected...Jared Kushner received $25 million dollars , and $2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia, the $2 billion the Saudis gave <span face="Georgia, helvetica, sans-serif" style="box-sizing: border-box;

font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;">The point i'm making is.....Elon was so rich, he had/has everything, he didn't need to go to bed with a repressive regime to buy Twitter...Elon didn't need Twitter, .....However, Elon wanted Twitter, why? ...Mr. Musk could have created a Twitter clone that was better, faster, more options, Elon could have created his own Social Media but he didn't, why? </span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;">That answer is obvious, it takes time to create a Social Media app, it takes time to build a customer base and that's the one thing Elon Musk didn't have...time...2022 Midterm elections were fast approaching and....although most public polls were deliberately skewed to showing a red wave, real pollsters, and the political parties themselves knew different, Mitch McConnel knew Republicans weren't gaining in the Senate...And Mitch was right....All those big name Trump endorsements who were also bigtime election deniers got spanked....Even the House/Congress, barely moved, when historically the party in opposition gains big in the house, that didn't happen either....in other words....Elon knew too that the 2022 red wave was a mirage of sorts..</span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Thus Elon needed to acquire Twitter early enough to try and boost Republican chances in 2022 midterms...It wasn't obvious at first as to what Elon's Twitter purchase motive was but it's painfully obvious now....Elon flew into the Twitterverse claiming to be a "Free Speech Absolutist" and now a short few months later the real reason and the real Elon reared their ugly anti democratic heads...in full view of those with eyes....And yes, the frothy hyperbolic right are tweeting praise at Elon, declaring that Elon the savior has opened up Pandora's box and exposed a massive crime spree that stole elections from Trump and the GOP... </span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Hogwash.....Elon, unfortunately, for a so-called genius can't see what the world sees, Elon can't see the forest through his stacks of money because it's as clear as day Elon is a extreme rightwing authoritarian promoter.....Elon doesn't believe in democracy and doesn't care about anyone's future outside of his own..</span></div><div><span style="color: #191919;

The claim emerged in a Monday press release from Pennsylvania Republican state lawmakers, including state Rep. Frank Ryan. “A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on Nov. 3, 2020, as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted,” the release said. The claim then spread to several right-wing websites and social media influencers, including Trump, whose tweet claiming Pennsylvania had 205,000 more votes than voters was retweeted more than 117,000 times. However, these claims rely on incomplete data, according to Wanda Murren, communications director for the Pennsylvania Department of State, who called the lawmakers’ release </span><span style="font-size: large;">“obvious misinformation.” </span></i></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;

any of those titled camps.</p><p>I Don't believe abortion should be an easy nonchalant fix for deliberate bad/risky behaviour, however, there is a myriad of legitimate reasons for seeking one, the obvious reasons, rape, incest, life of mother in danger... of course a woman should be able to abort in those cases.</p><p>There are more nuanced reasons too, such as a family that has many older children and the mother is of an older age and didn't expect to get pregnant again...or the persons that have a couple of baskets of children already, such as 8..9 even 10 kids...That woman certainly shouldn't be forced to bear another child, she may have financial reasons as well ....Raising kids is damn expensive.</p><p>Also, young ladies who get pregnant, just starting college, career oriented future, travel and the like, entire life plans could be altered, or canceled altogether...And that skews to the wealthy, a rich family can care for a baby with the daughter carrying on as if nothing much happened and or make an abortion happen safely in another state or country without too much fuss and bother..But there are many more poor families that won't have that option...So, abortion will now be a two-tiered issue based purely on economics..</p><p>There's a myriad of other reasons, including the safety of the mother or body scans and tests that reveal severe child disabilities(And i'm not judging one way or another, I am aware that some disabilities can consume a parents entire life for near ever..)</p><p>My only personal position on Roe/Wade is....</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Abortion decisions should be between a woman and her doctor...</span></p><p><br /></p><p>The title of this post?.....70% of Americans accept and or support Roe/Wade, and it's been the law of the land for over 50 years ......That number is huge, there are very few subjects that poll that high.....The only other major issue that gets that type bi-partisan support is more gun restrictions...The vast majority want the age to purchase firearms raised and an even higher percentage want assault rifles banned altogether, or at least severely restricted...</p><p>"This Supreme Court" also ruled two days ago in a case involving handgun carry in New York...The Supremes ruled that it is perfectly legal, a constitutional right to carry concealed handguns(citing the ability to defend oneself extends beyond one's home)</p><p>That ruling is reckless and will certainly cause many needless deaths.....United States of America...For those who may be unaware, the US possesses 60% of all guns in the world, for every 100 US persons there are 120 guns, more than a one to one ratio....Shocking numbers.</p><p>The Roe/Wade decision we knew was coming, as the majority opinion was leaked a couple of months back...This ruling on handguns totally surprised me, in lieu of all the mass shooting, all the school mass shootings, in light of near 40,000 gun related deaths last year alone, that number will be surpassed before year end.</p><p>Two massive issues decided by "This Supreme Court" ..in one week, two issues that had a mere 30% national support, in other words, the court sided with the few and blew off the many 70%...238 million to 100 million.....</p><p>This same court has been unfriendly to mandates on masks and vaccinations....Ruling that one has self-body rights...Clearly contradictory,...My body my choice there, but when it comes to a woman's body? ..No choice at all..</p><p><br /></p><p>The decision was also telling in other ways, Clarence Thomas in the decision(5 Supremes justices contributed in writing the Roe/Wade majority decision)....Clarence suggested revisiting the issue of gay marriage, contraception....In other words...."This Supreme Court" group of justices may well make those illegal too, as in a woman can't use contraception, as in gay marriage can be ruled illegal..</p><p>Most countries around the world have moved towards Roe versus Wade abortion policy, became more progressive as the USA regresses backwards, backwards in time..</p><p>There is no concerns about population decline, for if the world declined to 5 billion from the current 7.6 billion would not be a bad thing, a population rising forever is not sustainable...The climate is already teetering ....Droughts are severe, the southern US is in trouble, massive water reservoirs are at historic lows, lake Mead being a prime example..</p><p>Also...is "This Supreme Court" only concerned with more White Christian babies....or all babies???</p><p>The uproar from the frothy right about the federal government, the Biden government providing baby formula for those that arrived on the southern border with babies in hand when there was short supply nationwide was palpable in it's rancor...As in don't give them refugees and asylum seekers with babies anything...That was the common refrain coming from maga and ultra maga....Disgusting!</p><p>Moreover, both Justices, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch during their confirmation both declared Wade/Roe as precedent, established law......Amy Cony Barrett never answered in a way that suggested she would uphold Wade/Roe....But Kavanaugh and Gorsuch did..</p><p>In other words...Two of the five justices who ripped up Wade/Roe lied on their confirmation hearing...Susan Collins of Maine must be gobsmacked...However, she also declared that "Trump had learned his lesson" and wouldn't do any more impeachable things in voting against his first impeachment....A tree stump would make a better senator than Susan waffle waffle Collins, but that's for another day...</p><p>So....Here is where we get to the meat of my article...</p><p>In a 8 to 1 decision from the Supreme Court last year only Clarence Thomas voted to shield Trump from having to give up any information, on any matter with "unlimited executive privilege", privilege that would extend very broadly..</p><p>Clarence Thomas was the only vote in a 8 to 1 decision.....And, this was before it was revealed that Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni Thomas was working to overthrow the government and install Trump, she pushed all the wild conspiracies and was engaged in the fake elector scheme, she suggested declaring martial law and more...Crazy insurrectionist stuff.....Clarence Thomas should have recused himself from that decision...I don't believe he was in the dark about Ginni's activities, including Ginni Thomas being at the ellipse/Capitol on January 6th.</p><p>The Senate, 100 senators....They just passed the first major gun regulation legislation in 43 years...</p><p>64 Senators for....A filibuster proof margin.. ...64 to 36....A huge victory....</p><p>However....once again, "This Supreme Court" had to know, or at least hear about this major new bi-partisan gun safety legislation coming forth from the senate....and 2 days before the Senate gun regulation passage..</p><p>They opened up New York to endless concealed handguns...in Bars..Restaurants, theatres, parks, trails, everywhere...people will die because of "This Supreme Court".....</p><p>Abortions will still happen, females will needlessly die from what was once known as back-alley abortions..</p><p>With Clarence Thomas stating in the Wade/Roe decision that Gay rights, contraception should be re-examined..</p><p>Down the slippery slope we go.....America ..In 2022 Separation of Church and state be damned...</p><p>The scribers of the Constitution clearly wanted religion isolated from governance...</p><p>None of that matters to "This Supreme Court"</p><p>Christian and Catholic faith doctrine is being shoveled down the majority's throat...</p><p>Judge John Roberts sided with the dissent opinion, he declared his Conservative counterparts went too far in dismantling Wade/Roe....All three dissenters on this Roe/Wade decision joined together for a sharp rebuke of the majority decision..</p><p>So....<b>What do we really have going on here..</b>..?</p><p>Call me conspiratorial....</p><p>With Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni being on the side of sedition and insurrection....With Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Amy Cony Barrett owing allegiance to Trump....And with Samuel Alito being a known hardline rightwing zealot.</p><p>Did "This Supreme Court" see, and not liking what they saw, and unable to do anything to give Trump his second term as president....</p><p>Did "This Supreme Court" give Donald J Trump a massive consolation prize, a Supreme Court victory he can take to the grave?</p><p>Because, for the life of me I can't understand why two Supreme court justices would invalidate their statements to the Senate in their confirmation hearings...It was only a few years ago where Gorsuch and Kavanaugh told the Senate that Wade/Roe was enshrined law, precedent..</p><p>Gorsuch, Kavanaugh have sullied their names, they'll be remembered in history books as Supreme Court Justices that lied to get confirmed....If, if the polling was the other way, if 70% of the population wanted RoeWade undone, that would be different, they'd be able to say that the majority of Americans wanted Roe/Wade removed, but to break their sworn on the bible testimony to the Senate, to lie, and to go AGAINST 70% is mindboggling...</p><p>This ruling reeks of a gift.....And, as is public record, Kavanaugh after he was confirmed magically paid off near $1 million in personal debts...No answers as to how.</p><p>I'll reiterate....Gorsuch and Kavanaugh threw out any legacy of integrity they might have had...I don't include Amy Cony Barrett because she was never qualified to become a Supreme Court Justice in the first place..And her reputation was sketchy at best...She apparently was a "kept woman" in her early "training"</p><p>"This Supreme Court" can't be trusted to rule on anything.</p><p>The bad news....</p><p> Considering the Justices' ages, and Trump's age....Realistically Americans on the progressive side can only expect to replace one Supreme Court Justice while Trump is still alive....And that's not enough to change these decisions back to a position that reflects the opinion of the vast majority of Americans..</p><p>A little more on my reasoning as to why this reeks and looks like a gift to Trump and his ego..</p><p>Trump won't be running in 2024, thus he'll never get that redemption he so desires, he didn't get his desired Nobel Peace prize nor named man of the year, but a historic Supreme court ruling might just soothe his lust for adornment..</p><p><br /></p><p>Reasons for Trump not running in 2024 are many..His age, and major legal issues at the forefront.</p><p>I expect Trump won't be criminally convicted by the DOJ....Trump's only legal defense against his many crimes is...</p><p>He truly believes all the conspiracies regardless of what his campaign told him, what DOJ told him, what the facts bore out...Trump is going to cling to garbage...</p><p>Trump by taking the "mental dunce" stance for his defense, that alone rules out Trump to legally run in 2024...kinda like a twisted pretzel insanity defense...As in, go-ahead and plead insanity or found to be "detached from reality"(Bill Barr made that statement under oath about Trump's election fraud claims) but don't expect an insane person to be allowed to run(also, that wording from William Barr about Trump.."detached from reality"..it's almost as if Barr primed the insanity pump for Trump)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the GOP at present are looking to dump Trump and push Ron Desantis..who is described in Conservative circles as..and i'm not making this up..."Another Trump only with a brain"</p><p>Lastly...Do you all remember Rudy Giuliani's public appearances during Trump's first impeachment, also during the Meuller investigation time frame....</p><p>Remember what Rudy spewed out on national TV shows, more than once?...."What is truth" Rudy proclaimed...Yes, everybody laughed...Rudy Giuliani was Trump's go to get dirty and throw mud personal lawyer, and Rudy coined the phrase..</p><p>"What is truth"....As Rudy said, and clarified...."Truth is what one believes"...</p><p>That friends is the Trump defense in a nutshell....</p><p>Even though I find it hard to believe Rudy Giuliani was smart enough to think ahead...Methinks..</p><p>Trump actions and feeble defense of his crimes cries out...</p><p>"What is truth....it's what I believe"</p><p>That folks has been Trump's method of operation his entire life..</p><p><br /></p><p>The Straight Goods</p><p><u><span style="font-size:

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers have seriously and publicly stated that the US should invade Canada and remove the "Radical Communist tyrannical leader Justin Trudeau"....And no top GOP elected leader has called out or reprimanded these insane voices...And to be clear, if this Fascist Theocracy gets ahold of America's three branches of Government its only a matter of time before these distorted "Master Race" people will call for the takeover of Canada for it's land and resources.....And there would be nothing we here in Canada could do to stop it...And nobody, no country would come to our rescue..</p><p>As of right now....There are 40 million Americans who not only agree with these Fascist Theocracy pushers but would gladly contribute to the end game, and, there are another 50 million Americans, like the German population of the 1930s who would blindly follow their lead...</p><p><a

their savior....</p><p>Even though each and everyone of his cult, each and every hate preacher know Trump is flawed, knows he lies through his teeth, knows he's a cad that has no morals, no decency, none, no respect of family, marriage and who has never been religious, Trump has never read the bible, never served the country, only served himself...</p><p>But, none of that matters to the Christian hate preachers....Trump is a tool to help them towards their end-game, indoctrination of all to Christian beliefs, a white country, with closed borders....One step away from gas chambers for all those

evidence to convict him 10 times over..</p><p>Even Republican elected leaders immediately after January 6th coup attempt called Trump out, called him the catalyst...But...Trump's cult, Christians, preachers and the brainwashed haters didn't, and for the sake of power 90% of all Republicans reembraced Trump and Trumpism..</p><p>Therein lies the problem Merrick Garland and DOJ face.</p><p>Arrest Trump right after the coup attempt and lock Trump up....They didn't because they feared making Donald J Trump a Martyr.</p><p>And in thinking about it....They made the right decision.</p><p>The weight of the world, and survival of all free and Democratic societies are on the line for Merrick Garland and the January 6th Commission...</p><p>They must use facts, passion and solemn words to destroy Trumpism.</p><p><br /></p><p>The people, Americans, Christians too, they all must be shown concise details of the plot to end Democracy in America...</p><p>Then we must hope, and even pray that the people, that the majority walk away from Donald Trump and Trumpism freely, of their own accord.....And if they don't?</p><p>It's Game Over for Democracy.....and our Canadian Government better start building nuclear arms and have them at the ready for the inevitable invasion from the USA...</p><p>__________________________</p><p>updated June 11th 2022....For those that think i'm overstating the

Because, what they didn't know at Burnaby Hospital, what Doctor Lee didn't know is that my mom's $4000.00 bipap breathing machine sends out real-time data to Steve at the sleep clinic, I asked Steve to download all the data from her bibpap for the last month to current....Steve called me back an hour later, he said something is terribly wrong....I said, send me the data....</p><p>The three weeks of data before she went into the hospital mom was averaging 12 hours of bipap time per day..which is about right, 10 hours at night and a couple of hours per day in naps, I know because I put the mask on her...In one week at Burnaby hospital, seven days, ...<span style="font-size: large;">Mom had a total of 4 hours and 10 minutes of Bipap time, for the last week in Burnaby Hospital....What the fuck is going on!!!!..</span></p><p>I printed off the data, two copies of all the data, went to Burnaby Hospital, threw the data/paperwork, two copies on the nurses desk and said...What the fuck have you people done, you trying to kill my mom...Told them about the data, gave two copies, one for Dr. Kwan, and one copy for Burnaby hospital's legal department.</p><p>Burnaby hospital had no answers for me, they blamed the machine....I still have the machine, no repairs, and mom is at home, using the same bipap machine.</p><p>It was still touch and go, Dr. Kwan, after I persisted, allowed mom to come home to die...</p><p>Mom was enemic, weak, and near death.....but I got her home...I told my sisters that, i'm not sure if I can save her this time...</p><p>She came home on a Saturday, got fluids in her, got her bipap on and.....And the next day she was a little better...Within a week, after some home bloodwork done by Lifelabs, her family doctor Sundeep Grewal was amazed..He called me with the bloodwork results and told me, it's like she had a complete blood transfusion..</p><p>So, we have Covid pandemic, I did have care-aids coming to the house before she went to the hospital and after..However, with Covid raging and care aids who were not vaccinated I cancelled all care aid help...I'll do it all myself..</p><p>During the previous 3 years I had care aids to do peri-care a couple of times a day, and, during those years mom was at the hospital 2 to 3 times per year, always for infections....My mom, when she has a infection coming on, UTI etc etc etc...there is no warning signs, what happens is...She starts to shiver and within 2 hours of shivering she shuts down can't eat, drink or respond...At the hospital they run intravenous antibiotics as mom can't swallow pills...and sure as day turns to night within 10 hours mom comes back to life..</p><p>Since i've taken over her care, no care-aids mom has not returned to Burnaby hospital and I have standby antibiotics for pre-emptive use for potential UTI...I've had to give her those anti-biotics on 2 occasions when a UTI was coming on....I also got mom the <a href="https://www.purewickathome.com/">Purewick external catheter</a> system to keep her bottom dry....Now the deep butt wound Burnaby Hospital gave her healed up...4 years Fraser Health and care aids couldn't get her butt wound to heal, a wound that she got years earlier AT Burnaby Hospital, because they don't change elderly patients, they leave them in soiled underwear for days at a time...This IS FACT..(Purewick system I get from Red Leaf Medical in Ontario)</p><p>By the way...UTI kill seniors by the 1000s...If Fraser health got rid of internal catheters and used the purewick system they would save a ton of money and 1000s of live...Internal catheters are bacteria factories...Purewick is easy and my mom is dry 24/7</p><p>My mom, she can't walk...Heart problems, sleep apnea, nerve problems, breathing problems...in mom's Burnaby home we have...Hospital bed..Bipap..Oxygen concentrator and a patient lift...in other words, my mom is a shut-in and requires me to do everything, and I do..</p><p>If I listened to Fraser Health/Burnaby hospital doctors my mom would have been dead 5 years ago..</p><p>Mom has shallow breathing, and she's heavy, ....5 years ago, mom was at Burnaby hospital...her CO gasses were high, she wasn't blowing it off while sleeping(with CPAP)...When CO gasses rise, people become lethargic, delusional, sleepy...This happened, off to the ICU and put on Bipap in ICU...her gasses return to normal and she's fine..</p><p>What happened at that time, a Dr. Ahmad at Burnaby hospital ICU....I told Ahmad that mom needs her own bipap, and I can't buy one without a doctors order..Ahmad refused, said she didn't need it...I argued with him, he blew me off, 6 months go by and mom was back at ICU for the same thing...I asked Dr. Kwan for a letter so I could purchase a bipap, Dr. Kathleen Kwan gave me the letter...And I bought the new bipap while mom was at Burnaby ICU on their big bipap machine...And, as I found out later, they really increased her water pill dosage...</p><p>So, I brought the new bipap to the ICU, they set it up...and, I got a phone call. Burnaby hospital staffers and Dr. Ahmad wanted a "family meeting" to discuss mom's impending demise..</p><p>In this meeting, Doctor Ahmad told me my mom had run out of time, Dr Ahmad said the bipap machine i brought for her didn't reduce her blood gasses, and my mom would never come off the hospital high-powered bipap and mom couldn't stay in the ICU...I left the meeting in tears...however, I didn't leave the hospital, I went back to the ICU and asked mom's nurse for a list of all the meds and dose strength they were giving her...I got the list, left, went home and hit the computer..</p><p>The Water pills, in the dosage they were giving her...In bright bold warnings, beware of electrolyte losses with high doses of lasex(water pills)....hmm, then I researched the symptoms of electrolyte deficiency in seniors...Drowsiness, delusional, sleepy, non-responsive....</p><p>What bothered me was...Mom was fine the day before she went to the hospital at that time, how could she go from fine to dead?</p><p>That family meeting to tell me my mom was a goner...I didn't accept Dr. Ahmad's assertions..</p><p>Instead I went to the ICU, asked mom's nurse to give me a list of all the meds they were giving her and in what dosages....Then I did research and...</p><p>Returned that night to the ICU and managed to get my mom to drink a cup of Hydrate me, a high-powered electrolyte drink I bought at the drugstore..</p><p>I didn't know if it would help or not..Next morning I went to the ICU and..lo n behold mom's nurse said..Hey, she's alert this morning and eating...Hmmm, i told the staff nothing, gave mom more Hydrate me juice, and twice per day, morning and night for the next two days and my mom was now rocking....I then told mom's ICU nurse that...Since mom is alert and eating have your respiratory nurse try again with the home bipap machine i bought...and lo n behold..a few days of using her own bipap machine in ICU her blood gasses remained normal and I got her home..</p><p>Suffice to say...If I was a follower, a rube, a believer of doctors mom was dead years ago...Like I said, that was almost 5 years ago....Dr. Ahmad is another unqualified doctor..</p><p>Anyway, what does this have to do with BC Hydro?</p><p>I do all my mom's banking and online bill paying...</p><p>On June 29th I shipped $300 dollars to Mom's BC Hydro account(so I thought).....</p><p>Let's stop for a minute...My mom has had a BC Hydro account for over 40 years at her Burnaby home, she also had a BC Hydro account for a place on the Sunshine coast...That account is dead..however, on mom's banking bill payments section..Her Burnaby hydro account..right below it is the Sunshine coast defunct account number, I mistakenly sent $300 to the defunct account...</p><p>What happened next....August 24th..2021..12 noon..Power goes out...WTF...I check with neighbor, they have power..Call BC Hydro and they tell me the power has been disconnected because there is a $148.22 balance...I was freaking out..Mom's catheter shuts down, her oxygen machine shuts down..bed won't work, her special electric medical seating chair won't work..</p><p>I tell BC Hydro..hook up the power now, you're killing my mom...I have emergency portable oxygen for her...I made arrangements to pay this balance and they agreed to to restart the "smart meter"...This was 1 pm in the afternoon..Hours went by..no power, i called and called, talked to supervisors..all I got was bullshit nothing..I called 911...they blew me off, I called Burnaby RCMP, they blew me off..I called again to BC Hydro, another so-called supervisor...He told me..They tried to remotely turn on the smart meter and the connection failed...??? They did that at 3:03 pm....Then I was told that they'll have to send someone to the home the next day to replace the defective smart meter...(I've since learned that tens of thousands of defective smart meters need to be replaced every year and that if they shut them off there's a 1/3 chance they don't turn on...requiring a replacement)....and, the people who replace these dud smart meters they only work until 4:00 pm daily...in other words, I was told nobody was coming that day...I freaked out again, I told them at 1:00 pm that this is a emergency and they shut down my mom's medical equipment..</p><p>I kept calling BC hydro...Mom was getting really bad...I called again just before 8:00 PM that night (I was on my way to home depot to buy a $700 dollar generator, cords and gas)...The last so-called supervisor said he'll send someone that night for sure...Anyway, 9:00 pm a big BC Hydro boom truck shows up, the guy gets out, I ask him if he has a new smart meter, he did...He said he had to wait for a partner to show up, he did minutes later, another big boom truck...These weren't smart meter replacers these were after hours linemen...Why they sent two is beyond me...They came down the path, 2 minutes later the meter was replaced and power returned..</p><p>However....BC Hydro was prepared to blow me off until the next day, they didn't even inform me that no one was coming out that August 24th day...</p><p>And more...My mom has been at her Burnaby address for over 40 years..She's always paid her bill...To cut someone's power off for $148.00???? When BC Hydro knows there's a 30% chance they can't turn the smart meter back on..They cut the power off at 12 noon..and they didn't even try to start it up until 3:03 pm, even though I made arrangements to get them this money before 1:00 pm that day...And BC Hydro knows that the people they have (in little cars) that replace their fucking over-priced junk smart meters quit at 4:00pm...That almost guarantees the people BC Hydro bludgeons with their smart meters are without power until the following day...How many people has BC Hydro killed, how many cut-off during the heat-dome we had?</p><p>What we have here folks is BC Hydro using smart meters as a weapon...BC Hydro drowning in debt from the purchase of smart meters, Gordon Campbell's highway(ratepayer robbery)robbery on run of river 30/40/50/60 years contracts at well above $100 dollars per megawatt hour and of course the $18 billion and counting Site C dam boondoggle..</p><p>BC Hydro is drowning in debt..And this is what the BC Liberals did to them, and now Horgan too by proceeding with Site C...Won't be long before BC Hydro will need a bailout, or sold to the private sector..</p><p>I filed claim against BC Hydro for emotional and physical damages...</p><p>9 days after this event a woman from BC Hydro called me to tell me that the $300 dollars I sent to the defunct account(by my error) on June 29th will be applied to the upcoming bill due on September 15th</p><p>Read that last paragraph again......So, what we have here is...Mom did NOT have $148.22 overdue balance..Mom actually had a $152.88 credit towards that September 15th bill?????BC Hydro had the money in their account..and yes, I fucked up, but come on..You cut-off power from a 40 plus year account-holder for $148.00 balance...</p><p>That brings me to today, September 10/2021...</p><p>A BC Hydro supervisor phoned me today and told me my claim for damages has been denied, that BC Hydro can cut power off to any account for as little as $30 dollars owing...I said are you for fucking real..I then told this fucking liar from BC Hydro that mom actually had overpaid and actually had a credit of $152.00 dollars...Although it was sent mistakenly to a defunct hydro account...</p><p>Then what happened was absolutely disgusting, this mouth-clown at BC Hydro made up a lie on the fly out of whole clothe..he said and I quote</p><p>"Oh no, that $300 dollars was applied to the last bill, you were cutoff for owing $448.00"</p><p>I called him out on his bullshit, told him that a BC Hydro staffer called me last week, 9 days after this event that my mom's upcoming bill has been credited the $300 dollars I sent to mom's defunct account..</p><p>He argued with me....I called him a fucking godamn liar and to be prepared for this story, the one i'm writing here...and I can prove you are a fucking liar..</p><p>I hung up on the BC Hydro lying conman flunkie..</p><p>What did I do next?</p><p>I called BC Hydro..asked for all mom's account information, I was told(today by a regular frontline BC Hydro phone person that)....The upcoming, due on September 15th bill is $127.27...and that $300 dollars had been applied to it, without that $300 dollar credit the bill would have been $427.27....And to be clear..When the power was restored at 9:00 pm August 24th I went online and sent them the $148.22 amount they wanted(I was still unaware of the payment mistake I made)..That's why mom's account was not credited $152.88 but $300 dollars...And that $300 dollar credit towards the next bill was made by BC Hydro on September 2/2021...9 days after the power was cut on August 24th...</p><p>Was that clear enough...When this BC Hydro manager/supervisor who called me today, he was not aware that mom was not overdue...When I mentioned it to him he scrambled, he made up a lie out of whole cloth....BC Hydro didn't find that $300 dollars until September 2....mom's BC Hydro bill is roughly $500 to $600 dollars every 2 months...So how the fuck does mom have a $127.27 bill coming due September 15th/2021 when air conditioner was on, all her medical equipment on..</p><p>How the fuck, as that BC Hydro liar told me today that mom was really cut-off for owing $448.22 and they applied the $300 dollars to bring it down to the $148.22.....When BC Hydro phoned me on September 2nd 2021 and told they found this $300 dollars and are applying to the upcoming bill due on September 15th </p><p>Caught BC Hydro's asshat supervisor making up a fucking lie.. His lie came about when I informed him of the June 29th $300 dollars sent to the defunct account(in mom's name)...He sputtered and squeaked and made up the lie to somehow justify BC Hydro using smart meter to bludgeon my mom's power..</p><p>I then told the BC Hydro asshat that this story is going public..</p><p>A little more...When I told this BC Hydro asshat today that i'm going public with my story, going to Bruce Ralston, calling Horgan, Palmer, Mackin and others and you will regret blowing me off, denying my claim of damages and lying your face off...... he said to me...and I quote</p><p>"Oh, so you won't mind if the media contacts us that we tell our side of the story"...</p><p>I laughed and told this motherfycker, do you think the public will have sympathy for BC Hydro..</p><p>A little more, there's a bigger story behind the scenes that BC Hydro doesn't want the public to know..</p><p>The Smart meters are defective, tens of thousands of defective smart meters need replacing every year and that they know there's a 30% chance these meters once they turn them off remotely they can't be turned back on...In other words..BC Hydro has fucked many a customer, ..BC hydro is drowning in debt, BC Hydro cannot turn off people's meter when they know they can't get power restored that same day..</p><p>My mom, she's been in her Burnaby home for over 40 years..The bill has always been paid...Where is any respect, where is BC Hydro's humanity...</p><p>They have none, and now they have paid liars to try and tamp down BC Hydro horror stories..</p><p>This article is going to be sent to all the BC Hydro brass..All the big media, John Horgan, Bruce Ralston, Bob Mackin, Vaughn Palmer...</p><p>How many other BC Hydro customers have they done this to, how bad is the smart meter boondoggle, who's paying for all the defective smart meters..are they under warranty...</p><p><br /></p><p>More to come...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TLbYL10c1zo" width="320" youtube-src-id="TLbYL10c1zo"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The Straight Goods</p><p>Cheers-Eyes Wide Open</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Grant Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.com4
