Art and life, NP divides along the wrong lines, A real solution to Islamic treatment as a ‘religion’ and more: Links 1 for August 8, 2026

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Reminder to all those who get these posts in an email. The email DOES NOT show you the videos or links. it just has my text. Most of what I write is based on the evidence or claims of the videos in the post. Please click through to this site and read the post in its proper context. 

Having said that, the site, as it often is, is under attack. This may mean that you need a VPN to see it, or need to turn yours off to see it. If you get a note saying you cannot see it, generally these issues clear up within an hour.

1. We like to look at movies and other art, books and so on that offered thoughts on the future at the time, or even like Orwell’s 1984, the present but applied to another place. The Gulag Archipelago is a documentary book but really important for understanding communism and authoritarianism in general. But so many science fiction and other forms of fiction gets one or more elements right, either in describing the past, present or speculating about the future that there is a pretty good field to learn from.

There is one scene from Cabaret, the famous movie from 1972 with Liza Minelli which I think describes a great deal in a single sentence. In it, the main characters who are having various forms of affairs with each other take a trip to the country. The driver is a supporter of the Nazi Party and assures them that this won’t be a problem. That the people can control the party and it will just be used to deal with some pressing issues of the day. After seeing a demonstration of the intensity of Nazi followers and spread of the faith, they ask the driver, “Do you still think you can control them?”

Of course where it is different today is that with the benefit of hindsight, modern communist leaders CREATE the problems that will get the people begging for a totalitarian leader. Clever, except that in every case where Muslims and communists ally, the Muslims win. They know what they believe and have their own form of dialectics. At least in the sense of a proprietary form of logic or reasoning that cannot be questioned.

2. Speaking of fiction as it describes components of reality, especially political reality, reading this article in the National Post, full of curious pejoratives for the Liberal Party, (pejoratives that are of the Hanlon’s Razor variety as opposed to meaningful or descriptive) about who supports them, reminds me a lot of that famous scene in Gulliver’s Travels where there is a war between two nations of tiny tiny people that Gulliver is made to settle for one side. As it turns out, the war is about how each side cracks their eggs for breakfast, The big end or little end. This article feels a little like, not so much start a war, as keep people divided over things that make zero difference in terms of the actual issues deracinating Canada by the day.

Remember, The ‘Liberal’ Party of Canada is bringing in millions of people who mostly hate the West and have no skills or value to add, and when they do work, make things unsafe. The Conservative Party of Canada wants the state to build them homes. Much like CBC during Covid pretending to speak truth to power by demanding to know why the Carney/Trudeau Liberals didn’t do MORE totalitarian measures against individual liberties.

Amy Hamm: Boomers drunk on CBC are the source of Carney’s power

The results of an Abacus Data survey have again revealed which generations are keeping the rotten Liberal Party popular and in power. It’s the baby boomers and the silent generation, of course.

The new survey, released on Sunday, showed that “(a)mong Canadians aged 60 and over, the Liberals lead the Conservatives by 20 points, 52 per cent to 32 per cent.” Only one or two percentage points divide the Liberal/Conservative preference (measured as vote intention) among all other age groups, meaning that without the Boomers and their elders, our red and blue parties would be neck-and-neck in the polls.

More than 10.8 million Canadians were age 60 or over in 2025, which represented more than a quarter of Canada’s population — and an even greater percentage of the voting population. Furthermore, older Canadians are more likely to vote in federal elections. They are plainly the most powerful voting bloc in Canada — and they are also the most out of touch with the struggles of the average Canadian, largely insulated, by economic privilege, from the fallout of our Liberal Lost Decade.

In the United States there is a real difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. Maybe for the first time and maybe not. I think many people smarter and more knowledgable than me would argue the Democrats have always been a version of what they are now. But I would take JFK’s Democratic Party over any iteration of it since or maybe before. In any case, Remember, Obama, probably deliberately, got the oath of office wrong so often they had to go complete it in private. Or at least as reported. I think it was 2012 Frank Gaffney did a 10 part course on the Muslim Brotherhood in America. In that report he showed that both parties are or were heavily penetrated by the Ikwan. That there was no substantial difference between them in terms of the issue of dealing with the islamification of the US at that time. But there is now. While much of the GOP may still be penetrated, there is at least th Sharia Free America Caucus and other GOP representatives, federal and state who are opposing Islam. Most notably Florida and somewhat in Texas where there is a formal law against sharia.

Of course, sharia is antithetical to the Constitution, so it’s already illegal. But at times one needs to spell it out plainly.

3. One of the most thoughtful experts on Islam and its consequences in Western nations is Elaine Ellinger. She has just posted this article on Muslims on juries where the accused is a Muslim. Well worth clicking over to read. A short excerpt:

An X contributor wrote: “They shouldn’t be on jury duty as they always let their cousins off.”

A common complaint in Western countries is that Muslim jurors should not serve because “they always let their cousins off.” The remark is usually treated as a crude accusation of favouritism toward other Muslims or dismissed as “Islamophobia.” In reality it points to a deeper and well-documented difference in legal and moral rules.

There is a further difference that Westerners often miss. In the West it is common to treat religion as something that can be largely ignored while still claiming the identity. Many people call themselves Christian while disregarding large parts of Christian teaching, and this is widely accepted. But Islam is a deen – a complete way of life and system of law – fundamentally different from personal belief.

Elaine actually offers solutions in her writings. Well worth subbing her work here.

4. The covid years, or what we think of as the Communist Revolution of 2020, caused a great deal of cognitive dissonance. This was when people should have learned not to take anything at face value. In a sense, one could write an essay claiming that the revolution had divided people into two camps. Those who’s need to believe in the state was so great that they would ignore the evidence of their senses, the contradictory statements by the state itself, the loss of dignity and liberty and other insults to reality and those who began to question what was taking place to the point of maybe making some different decisions. This item was inspired by the following meme:

Screenshot

And yeah. That is factually correct. The cognitive dissonance comes from the state explaining that there is a disease coming from beyond the border, so deadly and contagious that everyone in the USA had to take an experimental new technology, not even an untested vaccine, but an entirely new way of delivering a therapy that involved telling your very own cells how to make the exact protein that was problematic about the disease in the first place, In fact, the full spike protein of the virus, which is the pathogenic part of it.. Presumably to force your immune system to protect against it. yet weirdly, telling you that exposure to the virus itself could not do that. In hindsight, since the same actors telling you all this were the ones who actually made the damned disease, they should have known what was true. So layers and layers of lies and piles of what should have been enough cognitive dissonance to make everyone wake the hell up.

But yeah… this did happen.

5. I wonder of the RCMP will be charged under bill C-9 for hate speech.

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

**New intelligence suggests a specific course of action concerning use of Substack. For a variety of reasons, who owns it, and who owns the ONLY company that monetizes authors on Substack, the question for us has always been, ‘Why is Substack allowed to exist?” I believe the answer is now known to us. It collects data on you and who you are connected to. Substack does have the best writers out there for counter-narrative views, and does allow the authors to make money at it. Which is suspicious already. But the reasons were made known to us by a Cyber-security professional. The solution seems to be to use a dedicated browser, ONLY for substack. There are many good ones out there now. So downloading another browser is easy. Get the DuckduckGo go one, or Brave or one of many others and use it ONLY for substack and clear cookies after use. Like washing your plate after you eat.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

The destruction of Canada by immigration and redefinition: Links 1 for Aug. 7 2026

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

1. The mosque in Regina Sask. will now start to play the call to Prayer. No idea from this news report how often or how loud. But we know for a fact this is an incremental jihad. It will end with 5X a day and as loud as they can.

2. The New Canadian Dream is to leave Canada. But fewer and fewer will be able to afford it as the new Iron Curtain is constructed. This curtain will be digital in several ways. CBDCs will ensure that your lifetime of accumulated wealth will not operate past whatever border they set for it. If you are a failure as a Comrade, then maybe just past your home to the nearest state approved grocer. Certainly not outside the borders to anywhere more free. Wherever that may happen to be. Speculating of course, But we saw the right of exit, the most fundamental and ultimate proof of a free society vanish in Canada and elsewhere during Covid. Covid was the great trial balloon of communism. Was Covid an excuse created to allow the fundamentals of totalitarianism to be implemented in Western countries without too much pushback? This question explains pretty much everything. The illegal use of state power in Canada during the Freedom Convoy from the Emergency Measures to the hacking of Give Send Go and use of that information to seize bank accounts and set ANTIFA, the proxy army for the communist governments against those who contributed to it, to the “Vaccine Passports” for which we now know the state KNEW was a dangerous and ineffective substance. Fauci’s behaviour start to finish as well. As a partial aside, in RFK Jr’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, he presents solid evidence that Fauci was working from a Marxist playbook. <— That’s the link to the post we did back in January of 2022.

So the what which Canada will deploy and the why is pretty clear. What is still foggy is the how.

Watching the video above, it’s extremely important to consider the who, that is leaving rather than the mere raw numbers. Canada’s balance of creators of wealth vs. consumers is so out of balance that one has to calculate the equation based on that. It is a safe guess that all who are leaving are in fact, producers of wealth. Those that stay are more likely part of the Coward Piven mass replacement migration we see across Canada. For that matter, across the West overall. They come to Canada, get more money per month than the average blue collar worker and do not produce anything of value.(The government of Canada lies about this by falsely conflating mere population with GDP and growth as if the raw number of people translates into state power. Pakistan and many African countries are solid evidence they do not.) So each person who leaves that is a contributor to the nation, most would say tax payers but that equation probably doesn’t mean anything anymore, but people who produce actual wealth or value represents AT LEAST an equal number of people who do not. Probably a lot more. So one function adult with skills and a producer who leaves has to be balanced against unskilled immigrants who live off of state funds, young children, older Canadians who can’t or don’t want to work anymore, the unemployed, the insane, and those legacy Canadians on state benefits such as welfare, UIC and disability. So it is at bare minimum a 1:1 ratio. This means that the people leaving has a much bigger impact on the remainder than the raw numbers would imply.

During the reign of PM Jean Chretien, a reporter once asked him about the Brain Drain that his policies caused. His reply was “Dey can be replaced by Haitian Cab Dri-vers la.!” Mark Steyn in a National Post article responded to him with, “No they cannot”. I’ll leave it up to the reader to decide who was right.

3. Yesterday Andrew Bostom brought to my attention a scene in a 1981 movie, Reds. In it, there are two scenes that follow each other closely, where communist go to the Middle East and start preaching the gospel according to Marx and Lenin and are met with massive crowds chanting “Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!” In the second of those, when the American communist asked his interpreter why they were doing that, he replied, “They are agreeing with you that it is time to wage Holy War against the infidels of the West for Islam” or something nearly exactly like that. It’s a movie of course, but it is supposed to be a movie based on real events and certainly of real people. The film itself is interspersed with witnesses to these events and people who knew the main players. It is though, a pretty essential bit of historical inevitability. The communists have consistently provided the vehicle within which, Muslims manage to destroy entire countries and kill millions of people under Sharia based rule sets, as opposed to the Millions of people communism kills under dialectical rule sets. I guess the only ointment in the jar of flies is that the Islamic rules are more consistent, less arbitrary and more predictable than the Communist ones where people are made examples of without any kind of rational reason for their arrest or imprisonment while Muslims have to accuse them of something anti-Islamic then punish or kill them as examples without any kind of proofs. Wait, did I say there was a difference? I guess in the words used. Canada, Germany, France, Ireland will learn the lesson of Iran.

4. I did not cherry-pick this item as an illustration of what is said in item 3. It is that what I said in item 3 is becoming self evident to the point where it takes a certain amount of effort not to see it.

Following this chain of thought, another famous movie clip comes to mind.

in the important movie, Cabaret, there is a scene where the Hitler Youth stand up and start singing “Tomorrow belongs to Me. Then the Nazi skeptic asks a supporter, “Do you still think you can control them?”
I think that is a question the Canadian communist leaders may be starting to ask themselves.

5. Men who identify as women are now counted as women when dealing with crime stats. This is of course to help obliterate reality and allow the state to describe it as they need to at any given moment for any given reason, all of which is to destroy the rights and existence of the individual and make a God like state. Now of course, this counts as a “Canadian” truck driver.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

Belated minimalist post on trying to stop a mosque in Texas

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

It’s been extremely busy here for a couple of days.

Most guys like watching sports. I have tried it many times now and again over the years and could never find the excitement in it other guys have. This doesn’t mean I disrespect them, or minimize their importance. I have just barely enough wisdom to know that what is and is not important does not revolve around my personal preferences.

But last night I totally got it. I really, really love watching intense school board or city planning debates when it comes to the narrative Vs. counter-narrative arguments. It feels exciting. A team sport where the left or the Muslims have an objective, and a serious one, a consequential one and the rest of us are trying to stop them and establish reality and individual rights back into the net.

I have been doing a lot of that the last few days. Watching, cutting, subtitling and branding. Some of the speeches were amazing.

There are too many to post tonight. But for sure a couple of them, and by no means the best necessarily, but exciting ones I’lll put below. These are from a McKinney planning council in Texas for a new major mosque and Islamic beachhead which has no business to be built in the US by any number of metrics. The plans where deceptive, they don’t have the requisite parking, hell I have watched over 100 of these videos where the majority explained why this mosque cannot and must not be built. But here are a couple of them.

Notice the guy behind her who is so intense you think he may burst.

Here’s why. And yeah, I know how he feels.

Much more to come. In the meantime, another Ben Bankas clip about Canada.

Gotta say, he has guts to do these shows in Carneytopia after all those bills have passed.

This is NOT a crime yet, to actually affirm your privacy rights on a device you bought and paid for, instead of letting companies and the state know everything you do and control your choices. As we can see, there is acceleration of loss of rights across the West, and probably because we speak English, most notably in the Anglosphere, but its a safe bet the same is true across Western Europe.

This is a decent explainer video on how to install Graphine on a Pixel, and what it actually does.

I haven’t watched his other videos yet, but the titles are intriguing. Here is a link to his channel. People in the UK already need to use a VPN to see this site. Hopefully they will reclaim a touch of their natural rights to freedom, not just of speech, but to actually access information by doing this.

The video above is a user friendly description of the experience of learning Graphine, which can be helpful if you aren’t used to doing stuff like this. Which nearly no one is and frankly, less than nearly no one should need to be.Install brave on it and it has its own built in VPN for browsing, and adding a VPN to the phone is easy.

I can’t figure out anyone else’s cost-benefit for doing things like this. It’s really hard enough for myself. But in terms of the reality in the West today, both with laws being passed, but maybe not enforced yet like in Canada, or enforced without any clear indication of the law behind it like the UK, anyone who cares about freedom and privacy should consider this.

Rumour has it that soon, Motorola phones will be able to be flashed with Graphine. Depending on the model, that is a WAY cheaper option. But for anyone doing sensitive work like journalism, medicine, law, teaching, or anything at all where state narratives are mandatory, de facto or Dejure, I would not wait.

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

**New intelligence suggests a specific course of action concerning use of Substack. For a variety of reasons, who owns it, and who owns the ONLY company that monetizes authors on Substack, the question for us has always been, ‘Why is Substack allowed to exist?” I believe the answer is now known to us. It collects data on you and who you are connected to. Substack does have the best writers out there for counter-narrative views, and does allow the authors to make money at it. Which is suspicious already. But the reasons were made known to us by a Cyber-security professional. The solution seems to be to use a dedicated browser, ONLY for substack. There are many good ones out there now. So downloading another browser is easy. Get the DuckduckGo go one, or Brave or one of many others and use it ONLY for substack and clear cookies after use.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

It is undeniable that the UK, and increasingly Canada, are totalitarian polities governed by Marxist principles: Links 1 for Aug. 3, 2026

First, I got the following comment today from a reader int he newly minted Socialist Democracy of the UK:

Comment:
Vlad, for some time now I have been unable to connect to your site and I thought it was the browsers to blame.
However, I’ve just used a VPN with a USA address and connection was immediately made.
So, if your following here in the UK has fallen, this could be the reason.

At this point I recommend that everyone use a VPN as often as your purpose allows. Somethings, some pages and some tasks are slower with a VPN, but for general browsing the Web etc. you won’t notice its on. The fact is, if you wish to even have access to the sludge that is what which calls itself information out there, most of which is already state ops to try and make sure you don’t actually know what is going on in any way that is helpful to you, yu need a VPN to access it. And this site is clearly being blacklisted by the UK and other newly formed communist authoritarian states. This is tragic indeed. But if you want to even have the information about the state of your own nations, or wish to be able to tell others about it, you will need platforms like X, and at least the lowest level paid account (well worth it) and a VPN.

1. An excerpt of a Ben Bankas routine inspired a brief bit of research, which revealed yet again how much the Canadian government hates its own people:

As it turns out, someone in the business told one of our number that its the law in the US that they need to disclose such hacks, but not in Canada, and they have seen evidence of it happening a few times. every push to get a disclosure law in place has been shot down. Reiterated, there is evidence that people in the cybersecurity industry has seen, that essential systems have been hacked by hostile actors, but Canadians are not told, and every attempt to pass legislation to force Canadian agencies to disclose it is stopped. This means that Canadians cannot know what is dangerous, what systems are compromised, by who or its consequences. We remain happy wanderers.

And for those who think that “Ignorance is bliss”, may I remind people that this was a 2 line poem. The second line is:

“Where ignorance is bliss, / ’Tis folly to be wise.”

2. This is a good example of Muslims on the mission for Islamic global manifest destiny in America using the narrative attack of the “Trail of Tears”, itself as real as global warming or mass Amer-Indian children’s graves at residential schools, to destroy Western civilization. Click through and read the tweet and watch the 2 videos.

The Muslims use the narrative attack on America of the “Trail of Tears”.

Here is what that really is.

3. CNN attempts to use RFK Jr. to hurt Trump’s reputation over the massive goat-love-making session that was Covid and the mRNA shots.

4. Explaining a major component of dialectics without ever using the word:

5. Here is a link top a Breitbart piece on some of the consequences of Mamdani’s State run grocery stores. But in our opinion they missed the MOST important result of these efforts.

Please go over to BB and read the story there first. it is not very long. And it is good and worth reading.

After you do, here is where we think they missed. They get it right up to the point where private stores running a VERY thin margin can no longer compete with state stores offering massive discounts on food. They will close and soon.

What they don’t get is actually framed by their own thesis of reality vs. communist policy. At a certain point it takes famers, farms and other resources to produce food. And as the incentive to produce this food through a free market (more or less) system is removed, the actual abundance itself will, not might, but WILL vanish. We saw this repeatedly but most recently in Venezuela when the state nationalized Polar, the main producer of staples (not just beer) in that country, The food chain fell apart. So they nationalized farms and chased all the Kulaks, for lack of a Spanish word, off of their farms. The people who were assigned to the farms had no interest or knowledge of farming so they grew a crop of Marijuana, sold it and then sold off the expensive farm machinery and just took the money and ran.

This will happen for the reasons Breitbart specified. Reality Vs. Leftism. The results will be scarcity, suffering, and TOTAL government control in ways Western peoples cannot even imagine. Which is why they are submitting to it so quickly. Our friends and colleagues who escaped Cuba and from behind the Iron Curtain tried to warn us but we don’t listen to them. In the 1970s, Lebanese Christian refugees from the invasion by Islamic armies into Lebanon also tried to warn us about Islam to the same deaf ears. We, in Canada, whose main export is sanctimony, still think we know better than the people who uprooted their lives to come to the West with nothing and start off with no advantages. And now we have the people who create all this suffering coming here and getting thousands a month and all their needs met to perpetuate tyranny and suffering to the population of the  to the law abiding and contributing population of civilization.

BB doesn’t seem to fully get it. The consequences they describe are iniscule compared to what will happen, and it is not incompetence. It is the intention. These are not stupid people enacting these policies. Needing a govt produced ID to shop there is the lowest order of problem, even though the seeming hypocrisy it creates is what they are trying to point out. But using a teleological analysis, there is no hypocrisy.

In Canada, there has been resistance to building a pipeline to the US for decades now from Alberta. The reasons given have always been environmental. At least to the best of my recollection. This is of course an obvious lie. Like all narrative attacks a little thought and one can see through it. Trucking oil or sending it by train carries a larger environmental cost than sending it by pipeline. but people buy it the way they buy wearing 5 cent surgical masks on a bearded face to stop a virus.

Along comes Carney and approves a pipeline. People who do not understand the modus of the dialectical state think this is a win. But the pipeline he approved was to the coast of BC. This is likely to facilitate the shipping of Canadian resources, especially oil, to China. Which was always the plan. It was never about the economy of Canada, nor was it about the environment. It was about the geopolitical shift from the US to Communist China. Fans of Carney who buy is narrative pitch that he is the adult in the room who understands economics will cheer for him of course. But, as the lady said, a half truth is the damnest of lies. He does understand economics. But he is not using that understanding to make lives better for Canadians.

John Carpay on the formation of the surveillance state in Canada

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

There are a few surprises in this interview with John Carpay last week, one of which is that Alberta is worse than Ontario in some pretty significant ways.

Secondly he gives a web address where you can download various reports the JCCF has done on the spate of bills the Trudeau/Carney state has passed, some of which was without debate, which move rights up from the individual to the collective as the state determines it. In other words, from the people to the state.

Also this is the first time I have heard anyone from the JCCF refer to Islam and Islamic practices being exemplars of special treatment by the state. That alone is worth the price of admission.
