How the middle class is being destroyed with 2 examples

1. Restaurant closures in San Francisco

2. Ottawa Byward Market being gutted by crime 

‘CRISIS MODE:’ ByWard Market business owners express safety concerns as crime rates increase

“Clients don’t come downtown anymore, it’s not safe.”

John Rmor lost $40,000 in theft in August after a two-night robbery at his business in the ByWard Market. Now he is closing for good.

Rmor, owner of the John Rmor designer shoe and leather store, announced the closure of his business on Nov. 29 after weeks of back and forth with his accountants.

The owner said a cascade of events, including safety concerns, have led to high operation costs. Rmor had hopes for his store to recover during Black Friday.

“We suspected that Black Friday would help us recover some money,” said Rmor. “But clients don’t come downtown anymore, it’s not safe,” said Rmor.

Since Rmor’s substantial loss on Aug. 28 and 29, crime rates against retailers have increased significantly.

“I never worry about the material things because I can’t do anything about it,” Rmor said. “But people can hurt you for these silly things.”

With the left, the point is never the point. The issue is never the issue. The revolution is always the issue. When a city destroys main access roads in a city like Ottawa for bike lanes where its ice and freezing cold for half the year and no one uses these bike lanes except for a crazy tiny few, it clearly is not for better transportation planning.The proimary effect is the one people notice.

Now about Ivermectin:

In this linked article, which is about Matt Perry, Alex Berenson makes a one line snark about Ivermectin. But in the context he makes it, and adding it to the context of this article, it is a perfect fit. Look at the primary effect that was obvious and predictable and ignore the justifications for the policy and you have your answer.

Lately, ketamine “therapy” has taken off in the United States. A Website called “Get Joyous” offers to deliver ketamine lozenges for $129 a month – no commitment! Billboards advertising it loom over major cities.

Ketamine’s advocates point to studies showing it is a fast-acting treatment for depression. “Following the excitement and hype surrounding ketamine’s fast-acting antidepressant effects, numerous private clinics started offering ketamine, sometimes in a repeated manner,” researchers wrote in 2018. “The safety of such repeated ketamine infusions has not been fully investigated in large clinical and well-powered studies.”

But because the Food and Drug Administration has approved ketamine for human use, physicians are free to prescribe it as they see fit (a rule that applies to every approved drug, except maybe ivermectin, but that’s also a story for another day).

(The whole article is important, interesting and well written in it’s own context and no paywall. It is recommended for Alex’s own purpose as well)

This short article is to illustrate the meta point. Destructive, pernicious policies justified by a veneer of reason that appeals to decent people or for decent seeming reasons must be understood to be what they are. To create cracks in the foundations of our civilization in every possible way and in the most destructive manner. Abortion laws and now MAiD in Canada are not about compassion for the suffering. They are to remove the concept of the sanctity of life we were all raised with. Abortion was pretty much always an option for women who really needed it. Remember Pierre Trudeau’s minister of justice who got caught forging a permission slip to get his lover an abortion who was married to someone else at the time? Both abortion and apparently forgery were ok even back then. And frankly, nearly every very elderly person who dies in hospital is killed by pushing too much morphine. We all know it. We are all OK with it because at the individual level, decisions are made where quality of life Vs. extreme measures are obvious. And even then, not always 100% right.

So the legalization to the point of celebration of these things is about something else.

A little post-hoc addition for the point. Although I could probably add things day and night for months. The following Tweet is from the NZ Dept. worker who “leaked” what should have been publicly available data on vaxx safety to the actual public.

Tucker Carlson with Owen Shroyer on his treatment by the US state and comparisons to actual criminals

Sorry, that is a really bad title. But what I want to say would be worse:

Tucker Carlson and Owen Shroyer demonstrate perfectly how a dialectically operated system works, even as the public still imagines they have rule of law.

Even Tucker and Own seem not to get it here. They remain amazed at the consistent selective enforcement against people who are ‘for Trump’ etc.

We see it as a revolutionary state applying revolutionary standards against anyone who is a counter-revolutionary. The more effective that person is, the harsher the treatment. Which explains what is happening to Trump perfectly.

Germany approaches a total digital prison at a good clip

Farmer’s Protest in Ottawa organizer explains the dire consequences of Trudeau’s “carbon tax”

Like the Netherlands, the plan is openly to massively increase the population of these countries through unvetted immigration of people from radically different cultures at the axiomatic level, while simultaneously dramatically reducing the ability to grow food. These are facts. Not speculation. This is what is happening, not just in the Netherlands and Canada, but all over the West where the COMINTERN has influence. What is speculative, is trying to translate the lies being used to achieve these policies. Global Warming via CO2 production, and farming reduction via Nitrogen control. These are also clearly lies as much as what they are doing are facts. The speculative part is that the lies are what is used to create the facts. Below, an interview with the organizer of a protest at the Canadian Senate over Trudeau’s carbon tax and the real world effect it will have on the cost of growing food by Canadian, especially Alberta farmers.

The Catholic Church, a communist entity as proven by its use of dialectics

Many people may be looking for evidence that the current Pontiff is in fact a communist.

In the simplest of terms, the pope accepting this sculpture from a known communist, Bolivian president Evo Morales,  of Jesus being crucified on a hammer and sickle could certainly be evidence that the pope is either naive and exceedingly polite, or yeah, is a communist. But the video below and article linked here actually demonstrates communist methodology within the church and is the kind of proof that actually matters.

First let me say that I really am not an authority on Catholic Church hierarchy or jargon. So I do not know what authority the bishops of the BCP has, or what significance the public repentance has, other than the common use of the term. Perhaps in a formal Catholic context, this is more or less important than it seems on the surface.
We want to point out how the Vatican appears to be using dialectics to destroy the Church in Mexico.

In this case, dialectics would mean thesis, counter-thesis, Synthesis. Or smash something into its opposite, and create a nothing, A monster. The destruction of both entities in favour of a new thing with no roots, and with luck, an all powerful state at the end of it. An excellent example of dialectics would be the trans-movement. Where you dialectically negate male and female by smashing them into each other using drugs and surgery, and create nothing at all from it. The men who are castrated and otherwise altered are a lot of things but women is not one of them. And the women who are altered and chemically and surgically transformed are also a lot of things. But none of them are males.

Watch the following short but critically important video to get the gravity and true purpose of the trans-movement as it was actually created by American communist:

A few paragraphs from the article on the Repentance of Mexican Bishops for Adopting Pagan Practices into the Mass:

Draft of the letter prepared by the bishops of the BCP

We, the bishops of Mexico, hereby publicly repent for having approved, and some of us even for having adopted, a so-called Mayan rite of the Mass with idolatrous elements. The two pseudo liturgical offices of a principal and an incensor are absurdly included in the rite. The principal can also be female, though at times appearing of greater importance than the priest. The role of the incensor is in fact a combination of the roles of the deacon and the celebrating priest. The new rite also includes an idolatrous ritual dance that worships so-called Mother Earth, i.e. Gaia or Pachamama.

We, the bishops of Mexico, acknowledge in repentance that we have been deceived by the magic word of inculturation promoted by Vatican II Nostra Aetate syncretism. We refused to see the reality of pagan cruelty and demonism. Our ancestors, the Aztecs and Mayans, suffered under the heavy yoke of this slavery. Up to 20,000 human sacrifices were offered to demons annually. While still alive, a shaman cut open their chest with a knife and sacrificed a bleeding heart to Satan. Blood rituals were often accompanied by ritual dance. Besides the shaman, the roles of the incensor and the principal were also relevant in human sacrifice rituals in the Mayan culture.

Our ancestors 600 years ago lived in fear and terror that if they did not make daily human sacrifices to the pseudo-god, Satan, the sun would not rise. The fear and darkness of pagan superstition ruled our forefathers even after the arrival of the Christian missionaries. The spirit of paganism, embodied in so-called Mayan culture, continued to dominate even our baptized ancestors. The dark bondage to demons, causing people to live in fear and sorrow, persisted. The turning point only came when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the simple peasant Juan Diego in Guadalupe. Within a short period of time, the people underwent a profound internal change. The Mother of Jesus crushed the head of the infernal serpent, which had subdued the nation through paganism and its so-called demon-worshipping ritual dance tradition. The Blessed Virgin broke its dark power. Nine million Mexicans, who were converted in Guadalupe immediately afterward, were delivered from this strong spiritual bondage. Gone was the deep sadness that had previously blanketed all of Mexico, holding it under the curse of paganism. God spoke to our ancestors in their own language, when He used symbols on a miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin that opened their eyes and hearts to the Saviour. For the first time, they were able to believe the good news of the Gospel about our temporal and eternal salvation. So great was the joy of the people that faith spread like fire.

Taking this article and video at face value, that is assuming that the mass in Mexico has incorporated these pagan elements and that this organization is what it appears to be, we have a pretty solid bit of dialectics here. The smashing of traditional Catholic mass, with all its meaning, history and symbolism, with its antithesis. Cruel, murderous, authoritarian arbitrary and compassionless savagery. The synthesis of course, is nothing at all. Parishioners will be left with nothing. Mission completed.

Below is the video included with the article at the originating website:

This appears to be somewhat of an explanation of who the BCP is. It looks like it may not be a Catholic group per se, but a seperate group of Catholics more in the Byzantine tradition? I dunno. But if their description of the Catholic mass in Mexico is correct, it doesn’t much matter who they are. It is proof that the Vatican is communist based on methodology. As Maj. Stephen Coughlin says, “politics is downstream from philosophy.” And as the bible says, “By their fruits shall ye know them.” (Matthew 7:16)

Some years ago, we did several articles on an Arch-Bishop in Germany, I think of Munich. Here are a couple of videos of and about him. And yeah, his name is Marx. I don’t know if that is his name, or if he took it as a title. More meaningful of course if he took it.

In his own words in the video below, Cardinal Marx of Cologne compares illegal invaders of Europe to Jesus Christ himself using dialectical language. In this case meaning finding a level of abstraction where whatever analogy or simile you want can be made.

Below, the Cardinal actually attacks the classical liberal party in Germany, the AfD, who have a few questions of his understanding of Islam and Christianity:

So this would be a few data points suggesting the Catholic Church as it is now, operates dialectically, and is therefore communist/Marxist.

Many readers of this site have a vastly superior understanding of the Church and its mechanisms. I hope to read a lot of great comments that help flesh out all of our understanding of the contemporary Church, whether that comment is in agreement with this article or not. The point is to get to the truth.

Critical updates to the trial of Ottawa Police Detective, Helen Grus

Yesterday was to be the last day of these hearings over accusations of misconduct for an officer that dared do her job as it is described, and as it always was. Much like the CPSO hearings waged against doctors that put patient health over state diktats on mRNA injections and various other measures over the last few years, this officer has been made to stand down for actually investigating a cluster of 9 infant deaths and checking a possible mRNA vaxx link to the nursing mothers.

For the post on this from Monday with the basics on how we got to this point, please click here. If you are already familiar with this case, continue on.

Below is a new interview with retired Toronto PD detective, Donald Best, filmed Friday at the Lunch break after a morning of procedurally bizarre testimony and obsessive objections by both the prosecution, and even the officer playing the role of judge.

Additional information about one aspect of this hearing is as follows:

Prosecutor: Vanessa Stewart

Witness: Detective Constable Renee Stewart

Renee Stewart is married to Vanessa’s brother- making them sisters-in-law.

Believe it or not, this is far from the only conflicts of interest in this case.

Dr. Mary O’Connor was present at the hearings and I had the opportunity to ask her what she thought of it, given that she had undergone a similar quasi-legal set of hearings with very real consequences.

RAIR Foundation has the write up here.

Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson asked me to say a few words on her show last night about this trial and what I thought it meant. Anyone interested may wish to start at 54 minutes in to the video.

Bottom lining it: Doctors are now punished for practicing medicine in the best interests of the health of the patient, when it goes against state diktats and ideology. Police are now in the exact same position, that when they do an investigation which is 100% within their job description, and more importantly, is actually what the public expects police to do, they are also punished for the exact same reasons.

Canada’s Deputy PM explains to a graduating class that the time of “capitalist Democracy” is over

Remember, when a communist tells you anything true, it is to hide, or lubricate a bigger lie. In this case some of the lies she is trying to grease past you, are the problems that this new socialism/communism is going to fix. Global warming is simply a lie. Like Nuclear Winter was, and so many other scams, global warming is the lie being used to justify removing any individual rights or chances at happiness through natural means, or prosperity through your own efforts. In other words, she promises nothing less than the end of rational systems of distribution of wealth. And this has consequences far far beyond just how much money you get to make. This is the stuff of Nazis and North Koreans. Soviets and the Communist Chinese. These people are using the formula of thesis, counter-thesis, synthesis to create problems for which they can then apply what they want, claiming it to be a solution. It is why Trudeau is bringing in millions upon millions of third world unskilled migrants and not openly doing anything about feeding and housing them. They want the problem. When Trudeau says to premiers and mayors that these are local problems, it isn’t like he doesn’t know, and they don’t know he has created this problem. The fact that Ford and various mayors don’t bother to explain any of this to us is one of the many things that should freaking horrify us.

I could write a detailed essay with a lot of predictive value about what she had to say. Clyde’s analysis is solid as far as it goes. Frankly though, this entire blog is an essay about what she just said.

Anyone looking to have a greater understanding of what is taking place is well advised to read this Stephen Coughlin essay, and watch the interview with him below.

This appears to be the speech she gave. note the observation by the Twitterer:

 

And this is another anti-free market speech of hers from eight years ago

data points for a communist Canada within a 30 second walk of an Ottawa neighborhood

First of all, in yesterday’s post On the Catholic Church, globalism, and vaxx policies the main video was censored by YouTube. We have restored it, so if you have not seen it yet, please click through to see what it is that YouTube feels the public should not see from a classical Catholic.

On to the subject at hand:

In communism, everything is political. This makes sense in as much as you can’t take total control of everyone’s thoughts if you can’t claim all thoughts have political consequences. The following photos were sent in to this site yesterday, and were all taken within a block of each other in an Ottawa neighbourhood.

This first one is interesting in it’s use of architects as a revolutionary force. This has been used before of course. (Cough cough Albert Speer.) So black fist, classic communist revolutionary symbol, on red field. Classic communist colour. The wording seems typical of communist ambiguous equity messaging although frankly we have no idea what it is or means. It is probably a movement to create a dialectic that the government is obliged to create housing for all the people it is illegally bringing in to Canada and putting on the streets to make Canadians uncomfortable and demanding a solution, which of course means public housing at their expense as opposed to removing them all from Canada as illegals. Thesis, counter-thesis, synthesis. But hey we could be wrong. Maybe the black fist on a red field demanding being against housing alienation is really a call for individual rights and less government. Wadda we know.

This next one is nicely layered.

The messaging seems refreshingly libertarian. But as it’s on what appears to be an Amer-Indian owned and operated marijuana shop, one might suspect that they are able to use that language where Canadians of European decent may not. In fact, I would guess this dope shop would be closed in an hour if it was operated by classical Canadians na claimed to be exercising constitutional rights to sovereign land. Although, Canada’s constitution in fact doesn’t actually grant the right to private property. So not sure what rights they mean. Unless Amer-Indians do have special rights to land? No idea. Either way, its quite interesting to see on a store front.

I think I will refrain from comment on this next one. But to check the little symbols of who sponsors this please.

Increasingly, banks are debanking people for wrongthink

For the “How communist are we” files. This is no joke. This is also a data point indicating that the UK is a communist polity. Once is an anomoly and twice is a coincidence. But this is policy. Canada’s freezing accounts of people who donated to a legal at that time, protest at Parliament hill was celebrated by the useful idiots of the left. But it will be them next the moment government policies create a line they themselves will not cross.

Retired Ontario Lawyer details some of the horrors of ‘institutional capture’

It isn’t just the colleges for doctors which no longer serve the public interest, but are now weapons of state power. It appears to be the Law Societies as well, which look one way when a lawyer defends one who supports individual rights, and looks another when people break laws to enforce the new collectivism.

Please read the details at RAIR Foundation.

There is a chance we will do a series with Ari on a few related issues. So comments, as always, most welcome.

 

On the 90th anniversary of the Holomodor, we need to carefully examine what led up to the killing of millions

This post contains videos about an historical event on the scale of the Holocaust, more recent, and very possibly of more people in as systematic a manner. Yet if you ask your friends and neighbours about the Holomodor, it is likely they will never have heard of it. Please consider sending the link to this post, or if you prefer, to the videos directly to people who still think the left is about tolerance and fairness.
