Revolution Is Necessary

This past week Tucker Carlson delivered a couple of speeches in Alberta, Canada. (The one from Calgary above, was particularly good). He came to encourage Canadians, and speak against the objective evil of the Canadian government. These speeches coincided with the Canadian Court ruling against the Trudeau Liberals for their abusive use of the Emergencies Act against the people of Canada during the Covid lockdowns. Any normal leader would step down in shame, but Trudeau and Freeland are not normal people.

The Canadian media, clutching their pearls at Carlson “being allowed into Canada,” attempted to frighten their shrinking audience that “Hitler was about preach hate” to everyone! Carlson invited the CBC to interview him and put it on TV, but the national Canadian propaganda outlet declined. They never bothered to listen to his talk.

I have followed Carlson’s career now for well over a decade and his personal philosophy can be boiled down to this: 1) a government’s fundamental obligation is to its own citizens, and 2) everything the government does should result in human flourishing and stronger families. Governments of the West have abandoned these goals for their globalist visions, and in fact, are doing the exact opposite, on purpose. They have set upon a course that will only cause increasing misery. Our leaders are evil. Trudeau and Biden are evil men bent on destroying their countries. There is no other rational conclusion one can reach.

It goes without saying that what Trudeau did during the Covid lockdown and the trucker protests can only be described as evil. He had no authority to take away the rights of his citizens in the manner in which he did. Likewise in the US, Joe Biden has exemplified evil in leaving the southern border to Mexico wide open. The invasion that has occurred over the last 2 to 3 years has forever changed the face of America and will bring unimaginable hardship to that country over the next several decades. We haven’t even begun to witness the rotten fruit this tree will bear.

We need to call evil what it is, and it is embodied in these derelict leaders with every decision they make. Think of what these men advocate for: abortion on demand at any point in a pregnancy, assisted suicide (50,000 this year in Canada alone), open borders, privileges based on skin colour, foreign wars, massive debt, and national surveillance programs, to name but a few. We are embarking on dark times as the even darker hearts of men attempt to rule over us, not for us.

This evil we are witnessing, if history is our teacher, can only lead to revolution. When evil abounds, good men must rise against it. We must not allow this evil to gain any greater a foothold than it already has. We need the good among us to stand, and fight the good fight. We need to see the evil men in charge held to account and punished for what they have done. When evil abides, revolution is necessary, so justice can prevail.

Thoughts On The World This Christmas

Everywhere you look the world is in turmoil. At almost every turn you can see the results of man’s destructive nature, and their abandonment of God. Over the last several decades we have done our best to eliminate God from modern discourse, and mocked the importance of Christian belief, one of the founding pillars of Western civilization, as primitive and unnecessary to the enlightened of our age.

Society is divided over every issue. Some think there are two sexes, while others think a man can be a woman. Some cheer the recent attacks on Jews, while others decry such evil. Some believe we can exterminate the life of the unborn without a second thought, while others fight to save the most vulnerable in society. Some celebrate ugliness in all its forms, while others struggle to bring man back to an understanding of what is good, and beautiful, and true.

The only answer to these problems and the sick, sinful condition that so plagues the heart of man, is the baby whose birth we celebrate this day. Jesus, the Christ, was God made flesh, who came into the world to conquer sin, death, and evil. He is the only answer to the depression, the loneliness, the despair, and the wickedness, that engulfs every corner of this planet.

The world is hopeless. Only a turning to Christ can save us from what is coming. Our time of blessing and abundance has wained, and a time of war, persecution, and scarcity is upon us. Hard times are coming, and refuge will only be found in the Lord. Only that babe who was once placed tenderly in a manger can save us. This is why we celebrate Christmas: we rejoice over God’s love for us.

The Transcendentals

I often refer to what are known as the transcendentals, or, the three immaterial properties of being. The ancient philosophers wrestled with these concepts as they attempted to understand the world and the purpose of the universe. A transcendental refers to something that exists outside of the material world; something that we know exists, yet is not part of time, space, or matter; and are essential to the human experience when we speak of the nature of being and reality. They are universal values that we long for and seek. We yearn to want, and to know, the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

The Ancients saw these as attributes of God Himself, and therefore essential elements of the created order and part of who we are and what we desire. They believed that it was through these elements that Divine meaning was communicated to us. Man desires the good, loves the beautiful, and yearns to know the truth. These things can’t be explained by some mindless, directionless, evolutionary process for they exist independent of the physical and are properties of the spiritual nature of man. These values have transcended people groups and cultures throughout time, and man has never grown weary of them, as they are the hallmarks of, and point towards, the existence of perfection. While the nature of these transcendental values may be subjective to many, their existence is innately objective to all.

We desire goodness in our lives, and beauty excites and motivates us. But that which is true is of greatest value, for no matter how good or beautiful something may be, if it is not true, then it is of little worth. It is truth that defines reality, and allows us to know what is good, and appreciate what is beautiful.

Our lives should seek to reflect these values and have our minds filled with the knowledge of them. These three transcendental qualities point to the reality of something outside ourselves, something greater than ourselves, something truly meaningful, something that itself is the Source of all things Good, Beautiful, and True.

As the Apostle once wrote, “…whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report…think on these things.” -Phil 4:8

The Myth Of Equality

It is hard to go anywhere, or read anything these days without someone somewhere blathering on about equality and how important it is to be striving for equality in such an unfair and uncaring world. It has to be said: the world is indeed unfair and uncaring, AND the notion of equality is a complete myth, and an impossibility to achieve. It does not exist, and never will. If it actually did it exist, we would not have to hear about it incessantly by the malcontents who use it as a bludgeon and a weapon to coerce and control others.

Let me state it clearly so there is no confusion: humans are equal in value, but they are not equal in any other way. Every person, no matter their station, is of equal worth, for they bear the image of God. (That is why in every godless, atheistic society in history genocides occurred because some were seen as worthless and expendable in the eyes of the powerful). But, and it should be obvious to all, there exists no two human beings that are equal in ability, intelligence, motivation, skill, and a host of other individualistic traits that make us unique. By definition, humans cannot be equal.

Much is said about racial inequality but I find that topic almost irrelevant. Skin pigmentation should not even matter and these people differences are more cultural in nature than they are in colour. I think the more interesting topic is that of male and female, especially in this age where the gender lines are purposely being blurred.

Men and women are not equal. They never will be. They are complementary to one another; neither one more valuable than the other, and both necessary in a functioning society. Men are the builders of civilization, and women are the nurturers of it; each role important in its own right. (I’d argue that the latter is actually the most important role of the two).

Destroying the proper functioning of male/female relationships can only serve to weaken society. The promotion of effeminate men and masculine women does a disservice to these attributes that are necessary to pass along generation after generation. Camille Paglia, the lesbian, feminist historian, has remarked that, “as androgyny in a society becomes more prevalent, it is a sure sign that a civilization is starting to unravel. You find it again and again and again in history.” This has always been one of the seminal markers of societal decline as a culture descends further into decadence and perversion, and we are witnessing a great unravelling of this societal fabric as the trans activists attack every traditional structure with their hate-filled rhetoric.

Men and women are not at war. The sexes need not battle one another. These divisions are meant to weaken and divide us and we should resist all talk of sexism and inequality. We should look to the other as necessary and complementary to what each has to offer. I have said nothing new or revelatory here. This was understood for millennia. I have merely stated the observational truth of history and what has worked from the beginning of time. Those that want to dismantle these things that are good, and beautiful, and true, need to be opposed. Society needs strong, complementary, male/female relationships to function as they were meant to.

Paglia went on to say,

…I found in my study that history is cyclic, and everywhere in the world you find this pattern in ancient times: that as a culture begins to decline, you have an efflorescence of transgender phenomena. That is a symptom of cultural collapse….So rather than people singing the praises of humanitarian liberalism that allows all of these transgender possibilities to appear and to be encouraged, I would be concerned about how Western culture is defining itself to the world…Because in fact these phenomena are inflaming the irrational, indeed borderline psychotic opponents of Western culture …Nothing better defines the decadence of the West…than our toleration of open homosexuality and this transgender mania now.

We need to celebrate and affirm traditional masculinity and femininity as the achievable ideals for society so that we can maintain order and function and build strong relationships and families. We need not view the other as the enemy, but rather, as a partner in building something beautiful together, each with a different, but necessary role.

Evil In Our Midst

Without apology:

A society that allows the chemical castration of children under the Orwellian and nonsensical newspeak of “gender affirming care,” when we now know that almost 90% of those adolescents with gender dysphoria will self-correct through puberty (and that there’s no decrease in suicidal ideation after transition), has signalled that its descent into pure evil is accelerating. When a culture does not protect its children from such harms, it is lost.

Transitioning kids is a full frontal attack on the most vulnerable in our society. We have consent laws for a reason, and ignoring these to transition children only opens the door to have consent ages lowered, or done away with altogether. It doesn’t take a genius to know where that will lead, or rather, where we’re being led. Those who are pushing this malevolence are the demons that walk amongst us.

It was once said that ‘the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do [or say] nothing.’ We are watching the lives of thousands of children be destroyed as this perverse and deviant ideology grips the masses and causes crippling fear in any who would dare speak against it. History will not be kind to those complicit in such evil.

A Christmas Thought

It is often asked that, ‘if God is real, why does evil and suffering exist?‘ In other words, why would a good and loving God permit the cruelties and sufferings we witness on a daily basis? That those who reject and mock the very notion of God would think that this same God should and would create a world to their liking, and let them live lives with not even a passing thought towards their Creator, belies the nonsensical nature of the question they ask.

It is true that the world is full of evil, and sorrow, and suffering, and tragedy, and all of it resulted from man’s rejection of God. Man wanted to live as his own god with no duty to the One who created him. We, like sheep, have gone astray, and our hearts are only interested in living for ourselves.

Man was done with God, but thankfully, God was not done with us.

On this day we celebrate God sending his Son into the world to save those who rejected Him. He took on the form of man. He came humbly, born amongst animals in a stable. He lived a perfect life so that we may too shall live. Jesus came to reconcile man with God.

The original question is asked poorly. That evil even exists necessitates a need for this Saviour. The question should not be ‘why would a loving God allow evil?‘ but rather, ‘why would God save those who rejected Him at all?‘ Christianity is the only answer for the existence of evil; it is the only way to make sense of evil in the world. No other worldview can account for, and deal with, all the wickedness. Only Jesus can.

We celebrate Christmas to commemorate God coming into the world to defeat sin and evil once and for all. If this is not at the heart of your celebrations today, then you are not celebrating Christmas; you are not celebrating God’s goodness to those who rejected Him and embraced evil. We celebrate that which is good, and beautiful, and true, this day, for we know that evil has been conquered, and we look forward to the day when it is no more.

Alcohol: The Modern ‘Opiate of the Masses’

For those that know me, they will generally know of my total opposition to alcohol consumption and its regular use as a recreational drug. For almost 40 years now I have made statements that have raised eyebrows and made people think I was crazy. It’s cost me friendships and not something I’ve ever taken lightly. I’ve probably read more about the effects of alcohol on the body and brain than 99.9% of the population. My opinions are strong and sometimes unintentionally offensive, (especially to drinkers who quickly get defensive), yet all of them are based on the science, studies, and professionals who research the most common psychoactive drug used worldwide. It’s my opinion that most people have been easily brainwashed into our drinking culture will little to no thoughts of its harmful effects, and been encouraged to partake in the adolescent “rite of passage” of alcohol experimentation at a time in their brain development when the substance is its most addictive. It’s hard to convince people of anything these days that they won’t let themselves believe; even in the face of the strongest evidence. I can only hope for those that stumble upon this post that the data presented is at least a little compelling in moving the reader to consider pouring their favourite drug down the drain for good.

I recently watched Dr. Andrew Huberman’s podcast on alcohol. Huberman is a neurobiologist and runs The Huberman Lab in the School of Medicine at Stanford University. This podcast was quite revealing and certain things he said about alcohol shocked me. He relies only on the latest data and science. For anyone interested in this issue, this is one of the best, most thorough talks I’ve ever heard on the issue and it gets quite in depth on the destructive nature of alcohol on the brain and body. It is well worth your time, and was the motivation to finally finish this post that I’ve started, what seems like, countless times.

Alcohol is a liquid. It is medically classified as a toxin. It is its’ properties as a poison that causes drunkenness; ie. the state of drunkenness is a literal poisoning of the brain when the alcohol (acetaldehyde) crosses the blood/brain barrier. The horrible aches and feelings of a hangover the next day is the process of purging the last remnants of alcohol from the body, very similar to drug withdrawal. Alcohol is a depressant, which, after its brief euphoria phase produces long lasting feelings of depression, anxiety, and mood swings; as long as 7-10 days after an evening of just 4 or more drinks. Eight ounces of pure alcohol will kill you almost immediately. Humans have learned to masquerade its taste with fruity flavours, glamourize its appearance with vibrant colours, and market it with names that make us long for one after another, all in the name of “a good time.” Every single alcohol commercial markets their product as the only essential ingredient for a fun night out on the town, when nothing could be further from the truth. The lies of both omission and commission by the alcohol industry, along with a high level of propaganda, have fooled almost everyone into believing this drug is nearly harmless.

The majority of humans are self-destructive creatures. From drugs, alcohol, sugar, processed foods, social media, porn, etc., very few can properly regulate their desires and often choose short-term destructive pleasures over their long-term well-being. There is no question there is an addiction crisis in affluent nations around the world with easy access to all these things that do us harm. Most drinkers are surprised to learn that alcohol is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. In lists of addictive drugs, alcohol ranks anywhere from second to fifth depending upon the methodology used; usually ranking only behind heroin and cocaine. People cannot believe it is considered more addictive than meth or barbiturates. For example, on the Henningfield and Benowitz scales, alcohol ranks 2nd behind heroin yet higher than cocaine for its ability to addict its users. The US based Addiction Center also ranks it 2nd. Another medical rehab center ranks it 3rd. The Pathfinder Recovery Center ranks it 4th. There is just no question that there is a strong addictive pull to alcohol, and even among casual drinkers who are not alcoholics, there is a milder draw towards it outside of their control, especially in social settings.

Alcohol is a leading cause of death worldwide. Nearly 3 million people die every year from alcohol consumption. In 2019, alcohol-impaired driving fatalities accounted for 10,142 deaths (28% of overall driving fatalities; 28 per day in the US). 1,500 students die every year on American college campuses from alcohol poisoning and other alcohol related incidents. On those same campuses, about 50% of the 97,000 sexual assaults that happen every year involve alcohol (43% of victims and 69% of perpetrators). A staggering 86% of homicides and 60% of all sexual abuse and rape cases are under the influence of this drug. Alcohol is directly linked to cancer and greatly increases cancer risk in even moderate drinkers. Even minimal drinking is associated with a higher risk of cancer. Alcohol is a direct cause of 7 types of cancer and the rise in female breast cancer over the past few decades is directly correlated with the rise in female alcohol consumption, which in times past was mostly the domain of men. It was linked to 740,000 new cases of cancer in 2020 alone. There are many other health problems that come from drinking alcohol besides just cancer. We know it contributes to liver disease, stomach and digestive problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, iron deficiencies, and a weakening of the immune system. Alcohol slows metabolism, changes the way your body stores energy from food, and reduces muscle protein synthesis. It’s comical to think about the hours people will spend in the gym “for their health,” only to turn around and consume alcohol a couple nights a week and compromise their health. It’s safe to say that vanity, not health, is the motivator in those hours spent at the gym. There is no such thing as a “healthy partier,” no matter how many squats or pushups they do. All recent studies have confirmed this: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption when it comes to your health. Zero is best, and moderate to heavy drinking will most certainly shorten your life. Alcohol consumption ages you faster and weathers your appearance.

From the data we know that 1 in 8 adults, almost 13%, are alcoholics and it appears that between 15%-20% of the population have some sort of alcohol use disorder (AUD). (When you consider that only about 60% of adults are “drinkers”, that equates to 30-35% of all drinkers having a problematic relationship with their booze). It is estimated that 33% of all adults will suffer from an AUD at some point in their life. These are staggering numbers. Look around at your next party. If it’s a party of 20 people we know statistically that 3-5 of them have a problem with alcohol; even more if they are all drinking. Yet we have made the ingestion of this drug a “harmless” social norm. Would you do meth or cocaine with your friends and help feed that addiction? Of course not. So why do we casually participate in parties with friends where excessive drinking is not only normal but encouraged, and help to lead some of them down the path of addiction? People don’t like to hear it, but they are complicit in both their own, and their friends, drinking problems. The American Addiction Center describes the addictive effects of alcohol this way:

Alcohol acts on dopamine levels to enhance mood, like other drugs, but it also serves as a central nervous system depressant, slowing down nerve firings and the functions of the central nervous system. This results in lowered blood pressure and heart rate. It also promotes sedation and impairs motor skills and cognition. When people are under the influence of alcohol, they are likely to engage in risky behaviours as inhibitions are lowered. They may also be more talkative and sociable, and may experience mood swings and impaired decision-making and impulse-control abilities.

Alcohol abuse, especially when alcohol is consumed in heavy or binge drinking patterns, can lead to a dependency on the substance. When alcohol begins to leave the body, withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. When the effects of alcohol wear off, the brain may try to restore a chemical balance, causing a kind of rebound of some of the nerve firings that were suppressed by the alcohol. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, tremors, sweating, irregular heart rate, hypertension, nausea and vomiting, headaches, abdominal pain, and even psychosis and seizures are potential alcohol withdrawal symptoms. A desire to keep these symptoms to a minimum may lead to using alcohol as a form of self-medication for alcohol withdrawal and can therefore perpetuate alcohol addiction.

Heavy drinkers, even while building their tolerance to alcohol in the short-term, can have noticeable impairments to brain function years later. This explodes the notion that many falsely believe: that once a tolerance to alcohol is built up, its negative effects are no longer worrisome. Even moderate alcohol intake can reduce the brain’s ability to produce new cells by 40% and this causes long term memory problems as the production of new cells in the hippocampus is greatly reduced. Regular alcohol consumption will most certainly deteriorate brain function over time.

Binge drinking, the most common form of alcohol consumption, is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, and findings indicate that even a single alcohol binge results in increased serum endotoxin levels which in turn leads to greater levels of depression. Women had higher elevated endotoxin levels in their blood after a binge than men did, and perhaps this is one reason we see higher levels of depression in women as well. Women tend to use alcohol to self-medicate for immediate relief of anxiety and depression when in fact it exacerbates these problems they are seeking relief from, leading to a greater number of functional alcoholics who rely on its effects to cope with life. While we are on the topic of female consumption, it is worth noting that alcohol use by women is accelerating rapidly and of deep concern to health authorities here in Canada. Binge drinking by childless women has doubled. (I’ll let the reader draw their own conclusions from that). Women face greater risks in consuming alcohol than men do and female drinking is reaching troubling levels. No matter how you look at it, the news is not good.

The mental and physical toll of drinking  on the brain cannot be understated. We know that alcohol is linked to brain damage. Alcohol and its affects on the brain are many. Heavy drinking can change your DNA to facilitate further heavy drinking which leads to alcoholism over time. Even moderate alcohol consumption can damage the brain. Heavy drinkers have the lowest IQ. (Study is here). The biggest risk factor for dementia later in life is alcohol consumption, which is avoidable. (Another article here). Alcohol intake leads to a thinner cerebral cortex which is the area of the brain that supports higher-level cognition. Almost every study shows that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption that is beneficial for proper brain health.

Most people downplay their consumption and think they can easily handle their alcohol. More people would be surprised to find they are classified as heavy drinkers rather than just a casual imbiber. What constitutes a heavy drinker? Well for females, 8 or more drinks per week and 15 or more for males would make one a heavy drinker; and at an alarming risk for an AUD. The CDC has reported that 10% of all deaths between the ages of 20 and 64 are due to excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol and excessive consumption is a far bigger societal problem than most people would guess. This article does a good job of breaking down consumption habits by decile. It’s refreshing to see that the bottom 40% of the population consume almost no alcohol at all which should be encouraging for those who drink because of peer pressure, to fit in, to be one of the “cool kids”, for social status, or any number of other reasons. 

Look, I understand the arguments for drinking that people use, but none of them are compelling when put up against the clear risk data. Every single one amounts to opting for short-term pleasure and temporary “good feelings” at the expense of one’s mental and physical health. This is the trade-off that every single hard drug user makes as well. This is the hard reality; this is the science.

If you need a drink at the the end of a hard day; you have a drinking problem. If you need a drink to have a good time with friends; you have a drinking problem. If you can’t go out without drinking; you have a drinking problem. If you need a drink to feel normal; you have a drinking problem. If you need a drink to help you mask or alleviate emotional pain; you have a drinking problem. If you need a drink to escape the difficulties of life; you have a drinking problem. Some of these are understandable, but most are not. People use substances every day for “fun,” or to self-medicate, or to lessen anxiety, or to forget. I’m not unsympathetic to those who are hurting or trying to forget a trauma, but a substance is never the answer. Alcohol has never once solved a problem, but it has, on countless occasions, created them. It has created pain, grief, sorrow, anger, and embarrassment. The reliance on alcohol has caused so many people to unwittingly become slaves to a substance; a substance that ruins lives.

Ultimately, alcohol is used by the weak; those who need a crutch, those who can’t cope or produce on their own. They drink because their life is missing something they think they will find in the bottom of a bottle. They can’t produce happiness on their own. They can’t produce confidence on their own. They can’t produce contentment on their own. They can’t have “fun” in a sober state. So they turn to a drug to produce the feelings that they cannot, rather than do the hard work of improving themselves and that which is necessary to construct a full, fun-filled life. There are no shortcuts. Alcohol is not a shortcut. It produces the illusion of happiness, of fun, of confidence, of sexiness; only to leave those who rely on it worse off when its temporary, fleeting effects wear off. The continued reliance on a substance in order to find peace or fulfillment or happiness or whatever an empty soul is yearning to find, will ultimately render its user subservient to its addictive power.

Society at large suffers from a spiritual problem. There is a lack of meaning and purpose in the modern, aimless life, which causes it to distract itself with pleasure and consumption. A night out drinking helps to cauterize their hollow feelings. Alcohol creates these fake and transient pleasures as a way of escape from this empty reality. People have little meaning or purpose so they chase after superficial, ungratifying pleasures which leaves them unfulfilled, depressed, and lonely. They lack the tools to cope so they seek solace in a substance who’s only promise is to give them more of the emptiness and pain that they are running from. They yearn for human connection through the social use of alcohol, but fail to understand that meaningful human connections can never be built through drunkenness, and your soulmate will never be found passed out at the end of a bar at 2am. We substitute real connections for fake, substance-induced interactions for fear of being vulnerable and real. Booze gives them the safe barrier to hide behind. Drinking is drug use, and as much as people decry this description, factually and scientifically it is.

Society has a drug problem and alcohol is the most common drug of choice. 70% of Americans are on meds. 25% of people over 18 take something for their mental health. There were 300 million prescriptions for antidepressants written in 2021 in the US; many of those for people who spend their weekends drinking a depressant and wondering why they are moody and down most of their waking sober time. We need to fix this. We need to encourage people to find the joy in a sober life without wasting it in dingy bars and slowly killing themselves in the process. We need to stop drugging ourselves to death and look to seek meaning and fulfillment outside the “easy fix” of a drug that can provide neither. I understand why people drink because most people bow to peer pressure and are followers. “Drinking is a social thing” is the great justification they use to follow the crowd. We need to encourage people to be strong, to be individuals, to strive for personal strength of conviction, and to search for greater meaning for their lives. We should seek out those things that are good, beautiful, and true; and do away with those things that are destructive and unhealthy. True freedom only comes when we pursue a totally authentic and sober life, experiencing people and the world in all its beautiful reality, while putting away the childishness and immaturity of trying to create this artificially through the use of alcohol and other substances. We will be stronger for it if we do.

No matter how dark it may get, and it will get darker than anyone ever plans it to get when they are mired in a reliance on the bottle, there is always hope. Light conquers darkness. Sobriety will always, always, always, be greater than the casual or serious enslavement of alcohol.

Karl Marx once called religion the “opiate of the masses,” meaning that religion served as the “drug” to stupefy and dull the people.  In our modern day, alcohol serves the same purpose, leaving people and society all the poorer and dysfunctional for it.


Post script:

1) There are few things more hilarious than watching “experts” sit around regaling one another with their thoughts on the merits of one wine over another or how their favourite “paint thinner,” otherwise known as whiskey, is better than another. Studies have shown that it is not objective, and primarily a psychological phenomenon of wanting to seem “cultured” or “sophisticated” or an expert. (Must read this, and this).

2) An excellent report on Canadian drinking habits. This covers almost every issue, some I didn’t have the time or space to mention.

3)

Notice Dr. Huberman’s purposeful use of the word “seem”. Alcohol creates the illusion of normal, the illusion of fun, the illusion of happiness. What it creates is fake and fleeting. We know this because when its effects wear off, the person is left in a worse state than they were before.

4)

Alcohol cannot bring happiness or contentment, only addiction. It takes work to create happiness and pleasure in your life and the alcohol shortcut is always a poor trade of easy instant gratification for the long term consequences of disease and/or addiction.

Autumn

There is no prettier time of year when the joyful exuberance of summertime gives way to the aging blaze of colour in autumn; before the grey and cold winter signifies another year is done. I’ve gone for a number of long walks just to soak in the beauty of fall. Few things uplift the soul like colour on the trees and sunshine on the face.

Seasons change. Life changes. The old must die so that the new may once again flourish in spring. We all have those things in our lives that we want to put to death, and things we want to change, so that the beauty of the new life may fill us again with the wonder we once knew. Autumn shows us how beautiful it can be to let some things go.

The richness of the Artist’s pallet is a wonder to behold this time of year. The beauty of His brush strokes seems unending and infinite in its creative majesty. We never fully comprehend the depth of the beauty around us and the colours of fall help to amplify nature’s glory and draw our attention back to the Creator. Autumn should be a contemplative time for us; both, of the things above, and the things below. May we never grow tired of nature, nor of the One who bestowed such a gift upon us.

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”Emily Bronte

Colossal Vaccine Failure And The Lies They Told

By now it should be apparent to anyone paying attention that the Covid pandemic is long over and has been for awhile; the virus has mutated into a common cold virus, and the vaccines have been by almost any sane measure, colossal failures. Despite the govt propaganda, there is absolutely no possible argument to be made for continued vaccination when all the data shows that they have been a colossal failure. 

Let’s look at what we now know, that largely goes unreported in the mainstream media news, that shows not only how ineffective and unsafe these vaccines are, but immensely damaging as well.

In a new study, scientists from Harvard and John Hopkins have found that the vaccines are 98 times worse than the Covid virus for human health and assert that it is “ethically unjustifiable” to continue vaccinating people with this experimental technology. The abstract can be found here, with more explanation found here.

The new Bivalent Covid vaccine from Pfizer allegedly has protection for Omicron and the newer BA4 and BA5 strains, as well as the original ancestral strains. (Why on earth are we vaccinating people against the now extinct original strains?) Pfizer presented evidence for this booster from a trial performed on 8 mice. Read that again: 8 mice. All 8 mice did get Covid after being injected. Pfizer also ceased the human trial of the new booster because apparently ‘this update was badly needed and their wasn’t enough time.’ The FDA rubber stamped it.

We now know from a new study that the Covid vaccines are almost 100 times more likely to cause a young adult serious injury than prevent him from being hospitalized with Covid. It has been apparent from almost the beginning that the vaccines have been detrimental to those under 70 years of age and had negative impacts on general health. They have not stopped people from catching the virus, nor spreading it, nor being hospitalized from it. 

Denmark has now banned the mRNA vaccines for people under 50 because the risks of the vaccine far outweigh its benefits to healthy people. This was known from the beginning, yet countries like Canada and the US are still pushing these as the only solution. Think about what this means: people are better off getting Covid than they are taking the mRNA vaccines.

We now know that most people “died from Covid” after the rollout of the vaccine. We know that over time viruses mutate and become LESS deadly, yet this one with its new variants became more deadly? No one will state the obvious. The vaccines did not work and they killed more people than Covid did. 

We know from new studies coming out regularly that the vaccines do not work. In fact, we know that they actually helped the Omicron variant spread further and faster. Top virologists warned against vaccinating people in the middle of a pandemic; apparently this was a basic scientific principle, yet Big Pharma and the govt pushed these onto a fear-stricken population anyways. These vaccines were neither safe nor effective. They knew this. They knowingly lied.

We know that deaths around the world are soaring. All cause mortality numbers are up between 10-20% globally in highly vaccinated nations. All cause deaths did not really spike in 2020 when Covid was it’s deadliest, but they have ever since the vaccine mandates were put in place. It is not even debatable anymore: more people are dying of all causes since the Covid mRNA vaccines were introduced. Edward Dowd, an ex-Blackrock portfolio manager, has gone over insurance data on mortality rates and there is no question that the vaccines are killing people.

In Germany the rise in all cause mortality is directly correlated to the mass vaccination of the population.

More and more evidence is piling up and showing that the spike protein produced by the vaccines is toxic to the heart. Many were sounding the alarm bells early on about the toxicity of these proteins, but they were silenced and some deplatformed for speaking out. We now know they were right. Myocarditis is real and vaccine induced myocarditis is far more prevalent now than myocarditis from Covid.

The vast majority of deaths “from Covid” in the UK are in the double and triple vaccinated. In every single age category, the unvaccinated have the lowest death rates. This is the smoking gun. The vaccinated are dying from all causes at a higher rate in every single age category. Are vaccines suppose to minimize the chances of severe disease and death? Yes. These mRNA shots are doing exactly the opposite. 

We now know from Pfizer’s own documents, that 44% of pregnant women who took the vaccine in the trial, miscarried their babies. Pfizer knew this yet lied to the world that it was safe. 

We are seeing a massive spike in cancer cases since the vaccination program started. Can some of it be explained by missed screenings and doctor appointments? Sure. But what is more clear now is that the vaccines are destroying people’s immune systems and many diseases are on the rise. The vaccine destroys that which God designed to protect you.

You “trust the science”? You “trust the experts?” There is no more foolish thing that you can do than blindly trust doctors, Pharmaceutical companies, and govt officials making recommendations about your health. They have been objectively wrong on so many issues and have lied to protect themselves. We know from a recent study that 70% of all medical trials are faked. It is about money; it is not about health.

In Canada, not one person on the Covid response team had an epidemiological or public health background, yet these were the people telling us to “trust the science”? Evil people forced medical treatment on those under their care, not based on any real science, but for their own control and political gain. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered more vaccines per capita than any other country on earth. We are now disposing of hundreds of millions of wasted doses that were paid for by taxpayers with tax dollars that could have gone towards a crumbling health care system that is now broken beyond repair. 

A Canadian Liberal MP had an independent study commissioned on the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines only to find out the vaccines did nothing to help reduce sickness and death from Covid for those under 60, with many suffering horrendous vaccine injuries.

It was never a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Anyone with an IQ over 70 knew this was an observable, easily falsifiable, lie. They said this to con more people to get vaccinated. That was it. It was never based on scientific data. They knew this, they lied, they did not care.

They tried to hide the deaths of those who died days after their shots, and banned those people who tried to alert others of the dangers. This is the work of evil people. Those that seek the truth do not silence others.

It is now apparent that the virus was man-made through gain of function research in Wuhan and released purposely to take away more freedom from people. The vaccines were introduced to harm people and begin a slow depopulation process. I know this sounds almost impossible to believe but there is no other rational explanation for the cult-like adherence to a failed injection. Fear and propaganda crippled the planet and many complied just to “get their lives back.” But as the saying goes, ‘you can never comply your way out of tyranny.’ We must never let this happen again. We must never comply with govt edicts regarding our health; that decision is ours, and ours alone. We must never blindly trust the medical community again for they have failed us. We must stand up to the evil in our midst: name it, point it out, and do not let it control our friends and family. The truth will come out one day, and that which seemed far-fetched and ridiculous will be shown to be the truth. It was not by accident that these things happened. 

 

The Atheist

An atheist was walking through the woods and wondered aloud:

“What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!”

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him and he turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out, “Oh God!”

Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

“You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don’t exist, and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?”

The atheist looked directly into the light and said, “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?”

“Very well,” said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and said:

“Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty. Amen.”


I can’t remember where I found this little story but it helps to illustrate another facet of the incoherence of atheism. We’ve all heard the tired line that, ‘if the Christian God was truly loving then there would be no evil in the world or we wouldn’t face difficulties in life,’ or something similar.

Most atheists see this as a “kill shot” in that their superior intelligence just did away with thousands of years of religious belief. The objection is easily dismissed and rejected.

One, God never promised our lives on earth would be easy and that they wouldn’t be without pain and hardship. In fact, they are to be expected. And two, why would anyone think that if they rejected God’s commands on how to live a peaceful and fulfilled life, that peace and fulfillment would come of their own accord? If you reject God, why would God feel some sort of obligation to you to ensure that your life was free from hardship? It’s an absurd claim to make, especially for an atheist who believes there is no purpose or direction to the natural order.

In his heart, the atheist does not want to believe in anyone above him. He has set himself as the god of his own life and only to himself will he have to answer. This objection to God’s existence is merely the outworking of his unbelief in order to soothe his conscience in that unbelief. It is not logical. It is not rational. Atheism by its very nature is incoherent and should never be taken seriously by anyone.

Roe v. Wade Has Been Overturned

-On June 24th, 2022, Roe v. Wade, the 1973 US Supreme Court decision that magically invented a constitutional right to abortion, was overturned. It was bad law from the beginning (even Ruth Bader Ginsburg has admitted this) and most who understand how a constitutional republic operates, know this. Yet that didn’t stop abortion advocates from crying about having their “rights” taken from them, which did not occur.

-Abortion is the single greatest evil in society today, by far. A culture that tells mothers they can purposely kill their children and rid themselves of the “burden” they have created, will eventually fall; it cannot survive such willful, ongoing barbarism. Human life starts at conception; this is an undeniable scientific fact. The belief that a human is just a “clump of cells” until mysteriously turning into a human at some random point in pregnancy is the one based on pseudo-religious superstition. Ask any pro-abortion advocate to define a “person” and watch them twist and contort normal words into a pile of meaningless nonsense.

-It is difficult listening to the vapid arguments of the pro-abortion crowd. They will say anything, no matter how silly or dishonest, to state the case for “choice” being all that matters. They are not truthful in the least bit. Everything they say is meant to frighten women, obscure the truth, or denigrate life. Very few can be open and honest about what they are advocating for. I heard one woman in a recent protest video say, “Yes it’s a baby, and yes I’m OK with killing it. I don’t care.” At least she had the fortitude to state the obvious truth that they all really believe. Her words were evil and inhumane, but also a rare moment of truth.

-Great evil can only be overcome when strong men and women stand up and fight against the darkness that has engulfed the hearts and minds of those who would advocate and champion the murder of the unborn. A good society cannot stand if it tolerates such unfettered evil to persist. Even in the face of death threats, the stalwarts of the US Supreme Court should be lauded for their bold stand against injustice towards society’s weakest and most vulnerable.

-A principled Clarence Thomas puts it this way:

 

-What few understand is that abortion is big business and it is the money behind this industry that fuels the protests, demonstrations, and riots. Hundreds of millions of dollars are made every year from the promotion of abortion for the harvest of organs for resale, and to help with population control; mostly in the communities of the “undesirable.” Those who fight on the side of life profit nothing from abortion, nor from abortion being made illegal. They receive nothing for their tireless work other than the knowledge that they saved lives and did what was morally right. As is the case with most things, if you follow the money, you can usually uncover the motivations of those pulling the strings.

-The weekend following the Roe reversal, twenty-one Crisis Pregnancy Centres were vandalized and attacked, so don’t for one second think these people care about women and their healthcare decisions. They attacked the very people trying to help women through a difficult time when they chose life. If you don’t advocate for abortion on demand for all nine months, they have no interest in you. 

-It’s hard to fathom that we live in a world where someone would rather kill their baby than not have sex. I do support the concept of choice for one’s own person and there are many choices along the chain of events in this debate. I support the choice of abstinence, of contraception, of motherhood, and of adoption. I just have to draw the line where some would rather choose the convenience of murder. If someone says they are “pro-choice,” yet also stand for gun control or vaccine mandates like many leftists on that side do, they are not pro-choice at all, but rather, pro-abortion and anti-choice. We need to point out to them this inconsistency and make them own the fact that they advocate the killing of babies according to the whim of the mother.

-The line between good and evil when it comes to abortion can’t be any clearer. History will look at the overturning of Roe much like it looks now at the abolition of slavery or the liberation of Jews from the Nazi concentration camps. History will look back on the pro-abortion side as the bad guys; they will look back on them with scorn and derision for what they perpetrated on the weakest and most vulnerable in society. Black slaves were considered 3/5ths a person, while the unborn baby is considered no person at all. Dehumanize the target, and it becomes far easier to mistreat or exterminate.

-At its heart, abortion is a war against women. It tells women not to fulfill their highest calling. It tells women that with a simple procedure they can allow men to walk free from responsibility. It tells women that a life of casual sex is more fulfilling than motherhood. It tells women that their young party years are something of value. It tells women that life is meaningless if they decide it’s meaningless. It tells women their sole political power in this world rests in their ability to kill their children. Women become the victims under the strong hand of the abortion lobby, yet are told they are strong, liberated, and free. Just another lie they are brainwashed to believe.

-When we consider the magnitude of the lives lost over the decades to the abortionists syringe and scalpel, this might just be the greatest victory for human rights in the history of the world. So June 24th was a good day, but it is only the beginning. The war is not over. Until abortion is ended and looked upon with disgust, there is still much to do. We need to pray for a revival of decency and changed hearts, to view life as something beautiful and worthy of protection. Perhaps it might be easier for some to understand what happened this way: Roe v. Wade was just a clump of words that got aborted on June 24th, 2022.

Abortion: National Divorce Or Civil War

The US has one of two choices facing them: national divorce or civil war. We are already in the midst of an ideological cold war between left and right and have been for decades, and the divide is only growing wider. If we don’t start the process of separation soon, the only inevitable outcome before us is a real civil war. I know this seems radical to even suggest, but it has become abundantly clear that the left and right can no longer co-exist together. There is no longer any common ground between them. There is no mild language I can use to write about this, for evil must be boldly opposed.

This past week we learned of the leak from the US Supreme Court (in and of itself a criminal act of insurrection against the courts) that they are on the verge of overturning the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 that found the “right to an abortion” within the constitutional Right to Privacy. It was always seen as bad case law but no one had the political will to do anything about it. Overturning Roe v. Wade will not ban abortion in the US, like many of the leftist, blue-haired banshees are screeching about, but rather it will send the issue back to the states to decide for themselves. This is how democracy is suppose to function, allowing the people to decide the laws that will govern them. But leftists hate another’s freedom and do not want a functional democracy where their power is diminished. Summer leftist riot season is now upon us and things are about to turn ugly.

We talk of a “mental health crisis” in this country yet no one is willing to name it: it is modern liberalism or leftism; the ideology of the mentally unwell whose beliefs are anti-human, dyscivilizational, and destructive of all that is good, beautiful, and true. It is a sickness of the heart and minds of these people fuelled by self-loathing, divisiveness, hatred, and cruelty, which they cloak in fake virtue. These are the people that want to laugh, cheer, and celebrate when a baby is ripped from the womb, yet cry at the thought of someone not using their make believe pronouns. These are not good people. They are a dangerous combination of weak and evil, like most tyrants throughout history.

In this latest round of the abortion debate, we have seen the most grotesque the left has to offer. Just today they bombed a crisis pregnancy centre in Wisconsin, and many online praised it. Everything they stand for is anti-human. They champion the murder of babies in utero while trying to save every animal or insect; and yet the irony is lost on them. They want to expand the bounds of assisted-suicide to include the homeless and mentally ill. They want to stop the use of fossil fuels which has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else in history. They want to “protect the earth” through their fake science of “climate change” which will bankrupt nations and kill millions. They want to give drug addicts needles to kill themselves slowly rather than give them the real help they need. They want to let criminals out of jail so they can offend again and again. They want strict population controls that take away the choice of others to procreate. And as the Covid pandemic has clearly shown us, they want to take away your informed consent as to what medications you can and cannot take. They have become a cult that wants control over everything you do. They want the “right” to abort babies up to and including the moment of birth when they are fully formed and viable. This is the depth of depravity we are dealing with.

The Romans use to let babies die from exposure (leaving them in a field to die from the elements) and other ancient cultures use to sacrifice their babies to the god Moloch. The modern left today has returned to a more sanitized version of baby sacrifice to the same god, on the altar of convenience and ease. Abortion is now a sacrament in this new secular religion; a rite that is celebrated by the godless. They despise hardship or the thought of their lives having any unnecessary discomfort. They want to bear no consequences for their own irresponsible behaviours. They want the easy way out. We are no better than the Ancients if we permit this modern version of barbarism to happen to our most vulnerable.

The time has come for a national divorce; the left and right can no longer live together when their views on life, liberty, and virtue are diametrically opposed to one another. We must separate for the sake of peace for we cannot continue down this road of constant division, for it will inevitably result in war. If history teaches us anything it’s that evil will always lead to death and destruction. Without question, abortion is the purest form of evil in society today. We need to geographically separate. We need to allow the leftist death cult to live in the world they desire where life is devoid of meaning and pleasure is the only worthy pursuit. And when their nihilism leads them into such despair that they will do anything to escape it, only then can we let them over the wall to where the light shines. Until then, we can “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,” and we “must expose them.” There can be no compromise on abortion. Ever.

On this Mother’s Day we lament what the left has made of motherhood; of womanhood. We feel the pain of many mother’s whose only child became “medical waste.” We sorrow over the millions exterminated for convenience. And we long for a time when a future generation will look back on abortion as the heinous and immoral crime that it is, much like we view slavery today. We can only hope.

Vaccine Failure

It needs to be said: it is now scientifically accurate to say that all these Covid19 vaccines have been a colossal failure. Here is a look at this morning’s data in Ontario:

Before Covid, if someone had gotten vaccinated for the measles and then contracted the disease, almost everyone would have agreed that their vaccine had failed. People were once honest and rational. But we are living in times now when you are not to believe what your eyes plainly see. Our governments and medical leaders have failed us, lied to us, and killed many of us. 

It is clear from the data above that the fully vaccinated and boosted have two times the likelihood of catching Covid (per 100k people) than the unvaccinated. Would this not mean that it’s a “pandemic of the vaccinated” who are keeping the virus alive and spreading? Ever wondered why the phrase “pandemic of the unvaccinated” has disappeared from every media outlet and government official’s vernacular? Because it was, and is, false. They lied in order to get people to comply. Yet here in Canada, we are the only country in the world who will not permit the unvaccinated to board a plane or train.  We are led by evil and incompetent people who are doing their best to destroy our way of life over what is now a cold virus. There is now no other explanation than this is on purpose and according to plan.

Only the scientifically illiterate would agree that these vaccines should continue. They are harming our immune systems in such a way as those who have taken them now more easily catch the virus; their immune systems are compromised and can’t fight it off as effectively. The more shots one takes, the greater their chance of illness and death. We are seeing massive rises in all-cause mortality in 2021 since the vaccine mandates have started. This will go down as the greatest crime against humanity in history. They know, and they do not care to stop it.

Watch Edward Dowd explain the massive rise in all cause mortality here. The “evil genius” behind these mRNA vaccines is that they destroy your natural immune system and allow other diseases to flourish and kill you. We have never seen evil on this scale.

 

The Progress Of Evil

I found this letter to the editor I wrote from April of 1994, 28 years ago. It sounds like I could have written it yesterday. I haven’t changed much since then, but clearly the overt evil in the world has become more bold and prolific with each passing year.

The one thing we can be certain of is this: that the entropy of this world is towards evil, continually. It takes an effort to withstand it. Our politicians have adopted evil practices in every sphere of life and we are overwhelmed by the decline as they boldly proliferate the trans nonsense and the sexual grooming of children, the authoritarian Covid policies now in place, crippling national financial debt, and the restrictions on speech and ideas, just to name a few. The old saying holds true, that “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The Death Of A Dream

I’ve always enjoyed road trips, especially those that have taken me through small town America. Many of these places seem suspended in time and cause one to wish for the simpler times of decades past. There is something melancholy about them, with outdated signs and buildings that have become ugly eyesores on the landscape from lack of upkeep. The world has left many of these places behind. For me, the saddest of all is seeing the collapsing remains of old wooden homes and barns. They were once a dream that signified a new beginning and exciting time for someone. I’m not sure when it started but at some point every time I passed one of these dilapidated structures I would say to myself, “there’s another dream that died.”

I’ve been to a few ghost towns in the US over the years and this same feeling envelopes these places as you try to imagine what they were like during their bustling peak years. Two of my favourite towns were gold rush era mining towns in California called Bodie and Cerro Gordo. These places are how you would imagine them to be: isolated and forgotten. But there is a ghostly beauty to them as you wander through their streets and read tales of gun fights, gold, fires,  lawlessness, and every other now cliche wild west trope.

There’s a sense of wonder that comes along with the eerie sight of abandoned buildings that were once erected as someone’s dream; their home, their business, their hope of making their life better. These places were once their “American Dream.” This photo above was of the American Hotel in Cerro Gordo where the blood stains of a gun fight in the poker room were still visible on the floor more than 100 years after the incident. Men worked tirelessly, fought hard, and many died in pursuit of their fortunes. (Sadly, this hotel burned to the ground within a year of my visit). 

These buildings outlived their builders and serve only as a temporary marker of a once hopeful dream. You can’t walk past them without wondering about the stories of the people that came here to find fortune and build new lives in a time of great hardship. Many of us today, use to our comforts, would not last a week in these places if time were to transport us back.

These places have a way of reminding us of our own mortality; that we too are only here for a time. Our youthful exuberance gives way to sensible middle age and finally to those twilight years of reflection and memory. We all love the progress of time and the innovations that it brings, until it inevitably leaves us behind to be forgotten. What was once alive and vibrant in these towns, now sits in ruin and is but a reminder that time is forever moving forward.

We live now in a time where everything is overly manufactured and curated for our enjoyment, an enjoyment that is often short-lived in this consumer culture, until the next fleeting thing grabs us and briefly holds our attention. Much like listening to an old song or watching an old movie, and the way they conjure up feelings and emotions from another time, these towns and buildings seem to illicit those same nostalgic sentiments that yearn for something that has long faded away; something good, something beautiful, from a simpler, yet harder time.

You cannot walk these streets without feeling something; you cannot look on emotionless and not be moved in some way. It’s hard to not look back upon the past, stopping for a moment to wonder, without a gaze towards the future with dreams yet undreamed and hopes still unfulfilled; imagining what the world will be like once our bodies have been returned to dust. All of us will carry regrets; all of us will leave certain hopes and dreams behind unfulfilled, for that is the very nature of life in a fallen world.

As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
And its place remembers it no more.

-Psalm 103:15-16

Dopesick – The Evil Of Big Pharma

I recently watched the 8-part docu-drama series from 2021 called Dopesick, which tells the story of the American opioid crisis and the role of the Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma to purposely destroy families through addiction and death for profit. I’ve watched quite a few documentaries over the past several years on this topic, but this is the first one that really dove deep into how a malevolent pharmaceutical company operated to maximize profits with little to no concern for who they hurt. 

While this story starts in the early 1990’s, it recently concluded with the Sackler family having to pay more than $8 billion in fines of their $14 billion family fortune; not nearly enough for what they knowingly did and the human carnage they caused. Today, America is still caught in the grip of an ever-growing opioid addiction epidemic which now claims over 100,000 lives per year from overdose. The absolute evil of Big Pharma and the tragedy of this cannot be overstated.

Being able to look back on the actions of Purdue while still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s hard to miss the striking similarities. To wit: when the effectiveness of Oxycontin, the opioid-based painkiller of Purdue Pharma, started to wane, they had to come up with a solution to stem the loss of sales. They invented a new term called “breakthrough pain” and got a few doctors on board to buy in, write papers and articles, and promote this new concept to others. When the medication lost its effectiveness (as the repeated use of almost all drugs tends to do), and the patient’s pain started to increase, they were told this was “breakthrough pain,” but thankfully there was a “cure.” And yes, you guessed it: higher doses of Oxycontin; the same drug that was failing to combat their current levels of pain. And thus began the cycle of addiction.

In the same way, Pfizer and Moderna ran this exact playbook. When people were still catching Covid-19 after having one or two, and now even three or four, doses of their mRNA vaccines, they called this phenomenon, “breakthrough cases” of Covid-19, with the solution being, of course, more boosters of the same failed vaccine! More boosters, more profits. And sadly, more cases of Covid-19 and deaths.

Big Pharma and the members of the medical community they have paid off to push their snake oil in its varying forms, are observably evil as they destroy the lives of millions for the sake of their bottom lines. It is only a matter of time before the fraud of these mRNA “vaccines” is exposed and the level of lying and deceit in the medical community, those entrusted to protect us and our health, is shown for what it is. Already we are seeing ballooning rates of all cause mortality of between 25%-40% in the heavily vaccinated nations. The vaccines will end up killing far more than Covid-19 ever did. And this evil will lie at the feet of Big Pharma, the medical community who shirked their responsibility to protect us, and the government officials who knowingly promoted the lie through mass vaccination and mandates.

Heroin use has exploded in the US and Canada and greater than 55% of all users came to it from Oxycontin painkillers. They were people looking to their doctors for help, yet were given a prescription for something that eventually led to their death. People are slowly killing themselves in back alley’s because of what one pharmaceutical company did to people in order to enrich themselves. Pfizer and Moderna are no different. They did it for profit with willing accomplices; not out of some benevolent care for mankind. They made their money and care not one whit to the pile of corpses left in their wake. 

This series is really well done and a must watch in a time when we are again trusting pharmaceutical companies to save us, when in reality they are selling us the gun with which to kill ourselves. I’m not sure what will finally wake people up to the reality that these companies, and the governments we pay to protect us, don’t really care about our health and well-being at all.

Don’t Look Up – A Review

Don’t Look Up is a new movie on Netflix whose purpose is to ramp up the climate change alarmism; the next catastrophic pivot point now that Covid-19 is waning. Climate Change is the religion of the secular left and Hollywood mouthpieces are its prophets, announcing the “end is near” and “repentance through taxation and lifestyle change” is necessary for “salvation from the coming doom.” It’s all quite cliche.

Of course this movie is up for the Best Picture Oscar in what is now the woke, and meaningless Academy Awards; where brilliance is no longer awarded, but rather, your strict adherence to the new woke religious orthodoxy is. As far as a film goes, it was banal and trite, which sadly describes almost everything Hollywood releases these days. The dialogue and performances were uninteresting. There was nothing brilliant about this movie and the satirical gimmick of a comet on track to hit the earth didn’t really work at all. The true believers in climate change are, of course, the good people, while those pesky right-wing, Trump-voting, MAGA-hat-wearing nincompoops are the bad ones. Are there any original thinkers left in Hollywood? Can we please have more beautiful and compelling stories that let us escape, rather than those whose sole purpose is to indoctrinate?

The title of the movie is somewhat ironic. Leftists and progressives, the largest demographic of atheistic non belief in God, have been the ones “looking down” for decades now. They refuse to look up and acknowledge God as Creator and Sustainer of the universe. They have put themselves on the throne and only they now can save the world from the crisis that is upon us; all we have to do is pay higher taxes and recycle our plastics and the “comet” can be destroyed. In reality, we are to be good stewards of the created order and take care of the planet. We should look for ways to live cleaner; but not at the cost of throttling the poor and middle class for the sake of the elites who are the major contributors to, by their own admission, this impending “disaster.”

I did like the juxtaposition of the shots of nature, the hippos and hummingbirds, against the backdrop of the littered and filthy cities. It shows the beauty of God’s created order next to the sinful waste and crumbling man-made facades. It is interesting to note that every big city in Canada and the US, for decades now, has been run by liberals. They have overseen the flourishing of filth and decay. New York, LA, Chicago, Boston, SF, Toronto, Vancouver; all of them have been wrecked over decades by liberal policies and greed. This is just an indisputable fact. They have looked to themselves as the saviour of the world and have failed. They have refused to look up and acknowledge the One to whom they owe everything. Conservation on the part of every individual is the only answer left to reverse the damage mankind has caused. Higher taxes and govt debt will not solve anything. Trillions have been spent, and nothing has changed.

Climate change alarmists like to envision themselves as the superheroes in a catastrophic story unfolding before us. They have invented a crisis and they get to save the day through their own virtue. For these heroes there is one thing we know is true: for the last 100 years, apocalyptic climate predictions have been made decade after decade and none of them, none of them, have come true. The track record of the climate alarmists and their models is appallingly awful, yet they keep screaming “look up at the comet, there it is”. But it hasn’t hit earth when any of them have said it would. They have given us no reason to believe their alarmism will be correct now.

“Trust the science” is a religious phrase, not an empirical or data-driven one. We have been told over and over that “the science is settled;” which is perhaps the most unscientific thing anyone can say. This movie does nothing to further an honest conversation around the purported science of climate change. It just asks us to genuflect before those good people who know more than anyone else, and obey what they’ve commanded. No thank you, I’ll take my chances.

Letter To My Member Of Parliament

Dear Ms. Gould,

I am writing to you, my MP here in B*******, about the troubling rhetoric coming from PM Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party. Recently, PM Trudeau called the unvaccinated “misogynists and racists” in a Q&A in Quebec, in a continued attempt to purposely divide Canadians. He then added, “What are we going to do with these people?” Any student of history knows how dangerous this can be when spoken aloud by a nation’s leader.

I need to ask you, do you disavow this hateful rhetoric coming from Canada’s leader, one with his own visible racist past? Do you disavow this polarizing hate speech in a time of Canada’s worst divisions? I am troubled by what this is doing to society, especially now at a time when Covid infections occur at a higher rate per capita in the vaccinated. (See attached image for the latest data from the Ontario Gov’t website). You’ll notice that this latest “science” contradicts the falsehood of this being a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” that PM Trudeau repeated again just yesterday. Do you acknowledge that this too, is divisive language, and what we now know to be objectively false?

Two of my three kids are in university and we know from the data that their risk from Covid is as statistically close to zero as one can get. I am sure as Minister of Families you know this. Yet it’s undeniable that the ineffective gov’t response to the pandemic has caused undue hardships on this demographic, and the bright futures that they had hoped for seem to have dimmed under the shadow of horrific policy decisions. It does seem to be a global phenomenon that most Western gov’ts all made the same calculated errors in judgment, but that’s a different issue.

What are you trying to do to unite Canadians in a time of unparalleled turmoil, much of which is being caused by the PM? Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports have been an abject failure in stopping the spread of Covid; here, and in every nation in which they were tried. Every metric tells us this. Will the Liberal party do away with these divisive and ineffective mandates and let Canadians get back to their lives, free from ineffective gov’t Covid policies? Can I please ask what you are trying to do for all Canadians when we have a PM who divides us further with every word he utters?

I look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to phone me for a pleasant discussion. I really am trying to figure out how the Liberal party is trying to stop the immense harm the PM’s words and Covid policies have caused every Canadian. I do know it has not been easy, but that being said, with failure after failure one would think it reasonable to change course.

Kind regards.

Hidden In My Heart

One of the best memories I have now, is of some of the Bible verses I memorized as a child. At the time it sometimes seemed a chore, but once committed to memory it was something good to have tucked away in the recesses of your mind and I am forever grateful for this blessing. They were a comfort then, and even moreso now.

Over the uncertainty of the past years, and what seems to be the coming dark unknown of 2022, I thought I would pick some verses to carry with me into this year. Some are ones I still remember from childhood, while others will be added to the collection in my head. My path at times appeared overgrown, and the light around me dim, but Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
