Michelle Rempel Campaigns For Justin Trudeau!

Politics is a game of friends.
Jean Chretien, Straight From The Heart, p.23

It was on Power And Politics this afternoon that the Oracle of Ottawa had the misfortune to witness a very agitated Michelle Rempel, one of the present 'Harper Government's token Ministers Of State for Western something or other, appearing very upset that the incredibly handsome Justin Trudeau was holding a $250.00 per person fund raiser in Toronto tonight that was only open to women. The event was organized by a group of  twenty professional woman, and what do Canadian women want to see today? Why Justin Trudeau, natch.

Michelle Rempel - The only thing missing is the street light..

 As the Oracle turned to discuss the ethics of the said event with his significant other, she was already out the front door, and then I heard the car speeding down the driveway, with a two wheel power turn smoking rubber down the road to the Ottawa Airport. The Oracle of Ottawa latter found a note on the fridge, that said she would leave the car at the airport, and that she would be catching the 6:45 flight to Toronto, and that she would be home Saturday morning! As the Oracle microwaved left overs, it was quiet apparent who is going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada, and who is going to get him there. The event, with all the free publicity provided by Michelle Rempel, of the 'Harper Government', was a total sell-out, and from the footage that I saw on the National, it seems that the roomful of woman weren't missing their $250.00 very much. 

It was all very unsavory when Michelle Rempel, the young hay seed rube, started to cry in front of Evan Solomon! It got even more ugly when that brilliant nice Italian babe from the Liberal Party just plowed here on national television like a mule on a slave galley. The Oracle of Ottawa suspects that it will be a very long time before Michelle Rempel will stick her flat nose where it does not belong.

Another possible reason for the emotional meltdown is that it is said that the young Michelle is "up and coming" in the 'Harper Government' cabinet, and therefore is barely smart enough to already see the writing on the wall. She perhaps realized right there on national television that she is only going to be a one termer as far as being the cabinet goes. All further trips to Ottawa will be as a back bencher in the Opposition for ever.

It is all very clear to the Oracle of Ottawa, Justin Trudeau is quiet simply born to be elite Canadian royalty, he is not seeking the office of Prime Minister, the Office is seeking him. Meanwhile Michelle is an ordinary no count hay seed rube, that wants to be... That quiet simply is the reality and the unbridgeable difference between her and Justin Trudeau. The best advice the Oracle of Ottawa can offer is to book your mover now and avoid the rush...

Andrew Feinstein - The Shadow World

The arms industry and its powerful political friends have forged a parallel political universe that largely insulates itself against the influence or judgement of others by invoking national security. This is the shadow world.
Andrew Feinstein, The Shadow World, p. xxvii

The Oracle of Ottawa has some good news and some bad news. First, the good news; the world that we now live in is not so bad, the bad news is that it is all so much worse than you could possibly imagine. Andrew Feinstein was once an elected MP in the new South Africa, until he ran into the full force of  the shadow world. The Oracle of Ottawa was very fortunate to capture a hard cover first American edition out of a remainder bin for a very good price at his local Chapters store in Ottawa.

The currency of the Shadow World...

The book is very attractively designed, and printed to the highest standards, as is to be expected by Farrar, Straus And Giroux out of New York. It is of a very comfortable octavo size, with the posh, bright clay paper, that gives it that comforting weight in hand . The typographic design is the highest contemporary example of what remains of American craftsmanship.

What immediately engaged the Oracle of Ottawa was not so much all the details of the arms deals, but rather all the dirt and detail on how it is all brought off. How everyone in the decision chain is tracked, filed, cataloged and ultimately corrupted. The Oracle of Ottawa found this very interesting indeed. The Shadow World is a lot like a bag of Frito Lay potato chips, bet you can't read just one page! And that fact that Andrew Feinstein can write like Tom Clancy, and yet relate an even better story that is all true, cited and referenced is to the Oracle of Ottawa one hell of a feat.

Once the Oracle of Ottawa got right into it, a cold realization came upon him. This is not just a book about the shadow world arms trade, it is really an unofficial New World Order playbook! The Oracle of Ottawa was shocked and very appalled  at all the names of the great and good that popped up over and over in the text. Not to give anything away the Oracle will relate a few things that were found most interesting.

page xxviii - how the bank of American Presidents in Washington D.C. was used to send the 9/11 bombers their monthly allowance from a princess in the Royal Saudi family. (9/11 truthers will love this book...)

page 53 - how the Roman Catholic Church through the auspices of the Vatican Bank, accepted cash money, hand delivered by a Saudi Prince to throw an election in Italy.

page 205 - the name of a once very important Canadian MP and figure skater who is up to his neck in the shadow world.

page 223 - why Olaf Palme was really murdered.

page 264 - a most interesting story about Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands otherwise known as the co-founder of the Bilderberg Group! Yes Dear Reader, the shadow world is a strange house of many twisted rooms.

page 283 - the very weird and scary fingerprints of the Carlyle Group in and around the shadow world.

page 505 - how Pat Robertson was a good buddy of a certain third world dictator who lobbied for his interests in America in a hoped for return of a gold mine concession in Liberia! Praise the Lord and pass the ammo!

 All in, the Oracle of Ottawa couldn't put this book down. And it is a keeper at arms length for future reference. It has also occurred to the Oracle of Ottawa that Andrew Feinstein might not only have one hell of a good book, but rather, he may have given birth to a whole new juicy franchise! Could it be that Andrew Feinstein is the founder of the Jane's of New World Order dirt and filth? The Oracle of Ottawa can hardly wait for the next updated installment!  

The 'Harper Government' Will Fall !?

To draw a line is the primary step in incorporating energy in form.
Northrop Frye, Fearful Symmetry, p. 97

The Victoria Day long weekend in Canada is usually a very quiet and unremarkable affair. It is the unofficial, official start of the Canadian gear down from winter to summer, and all the relief that it brings. But not this year Dear Reader. It all started to go all rather nuts on Friday morning just past, when the Oracle of Ottawa was awoken by the name of Toronto's mayor and the words video, crack and smoking! The Oracle of Ottawa thought this is it! The Oracle has really slipped his clutch plates for sure this time! The Oracle of Ottawa immediately rose out of bed and dragged his significant other to the radio and had her confirm that what he just heard was indeed true! This was at 9:00 A.M..

'Harper Government' - The pig is in the tunnel folks...

 The Oracle of Ottawa then proceeded to breakfast of a coffee and two cigarettes and his book that was on top of the pile; "in reading". Still reeling from the wake up call, the Oracle of Ottawa than turned on the vulgar media and selected the CTV news channel and was stunned by more revelations of the Puffster Mike Duffy, and how the axe was just hanging over the vertically challenged  Ms. Wallin! The Oracle of Ottawa at this point became somewhat dizzy, and repaired to the kitchen for more coffee and a few more bolstering smokes to calm his nerves. As the smoke took hold and the Oracle having bolstered himself against the kitchen counter, the earth began to move!! It all lasted for over thirty seconds! A gentle but powerful swaying motion, that set off a wonderful symphony of creaking and tinkling, that sounded as music from God.

This was at 9:45A.M. exactly, and the Oracle of Ottawa again turned on the vulgar media and was soon informed that there was indeed a 5.2 Richter earthquake measured in Ottawa from Shawville, Quebec all the way down to Ohio in the United States! The evil of the 'Harper Government' has so twisted the very quantum fabric that the earth itself moved to balance the evil forces! If this weirdness keeps up Dear Reader, by Tuesday morning the Oracle of Ottawa expects a pillar of salt at the intersection of Wellington Street at Bank Street!

While out of the fortified bunker on the usual Friday beer and lotto ticket run the Oracle of Ottawa noticed the vulgar media newspaper headlines. Kathleen Wynne had fired the head of the Ontario Lottery Commission! And it must have been the right move, since the whole board followed the ousted huckster out the door like rats being chased on the tundra. Could it be that there will be no Casino in downtown Ottawa after all? Upon returning home, the Oracle of Ottawa closed up and continued to be reeled by the revelations of the old style vulgar media, and enjoyed every moment.

All of Saturday the Oracle of Ottawa was in a happy state of shock, knowing full well that once the shit starts to roll down hill it will continue ever faster until something stops it. It was Sunday morning that the major axe fell, when the Oracle of Ottawa heard with shock that Nigel S. Wright was also thrown under the bus. At this point we are through the looking glass now folks, any thing could happen and probably will.

On this Sunday after noon the Oracle of Ottawa was on his way to Arnprior to visit a very important man, as per usual routine. The Oracle of Ottawa of course had CBC's Cross Country Check Up on, and was amazed that Rex Murphy had his old self back on, and was doing a hell of a job. The knuckle dragging Tory Conservatives were in total outrage! The Oracle of Ottawa could not believe his ears. Any thing could happen now! Then the Oracle of Ottawa realized that come Tuesday the very 'Harper Government' could fall in a vote of non confidence.

The Oracle of Ottawa hopes that it is Elizabeth May and / or Charlie Angus that get to do the honors! With the Prime Minister planning not to be in the House on Tuesday, due to his planned presence at some South American trade conference, with the usual retinue of sock puppet cabinet fart catchers and sock puppet back benchers, the numbers would be totally in the Oppositions favor! The wreckage is every where and piling up very fast. (And we still haven't got through the Bilderberg Group revelations yet...)At 3:00 P.M. the CBC radio complained that no one from the Conservative Party of Canada could be reached in any manner of communication. Get your voting suit ready Dear Reader, the Just Society of Justin Trudeau will indeed be coming sooner, much sooner than later. Just as the Oracle of Ottawa called it...     

'Harper Government' - Bilderberg Group Wired In?

There are many rooms in the mansion, and weirdness governs in most of them.
Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine, p. 47

When the Oracle of Ottawa started writing this blog he often made references to such things as the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati and the New World Order with tongue in cheek. The Oracle of Ottawa considered them as jokes for children and people living under tinfoil hats. Well Dear Reader, the Oracle of Ottawa is no longer laughing. It has all dawned on the Oracle of Ottawa after writing last nights piece. The highest office in the land of Canada has been infiltrated by the Bilderberg Group at a distance of no more than two arms length.

Bilderberg Hotel

 Ottawa as of late has been reeling under a Senate scandal. We all know the names. It all blew wide open ever so gradually. One Senator Mike Duffy was found to owe $90,000.00 in false living expenses. Then very recently, he claimed to have paid off the tab, and the Prime Ministers Office stated that was the end of the matter. Then it was discovered that on Nigel S. Wright, now Chief of Staff in the Prime Ministers Office,  formally of Onex Corporation cut the check from his own personal account, because he was so fond of the Puffster Senator. The only problem being that the Ethics Commissioner became very interested, since an in office Senator cannot accept gifts of over $500.00 from any one, and that includes the Prime Ministers Office. 

So lets follow the chain Dear Reader. Nigel S. Wright is on "loan" from the Onex Corporation to the Prime Ministers Office of the nation state of Canada. The Onex Corporation is owned by one Gerry Schwartz who at the time of this writing has 67.7% of the voting shares. Gerry Schwartz is presently married to one Heather Reisman, who at the time of this writing is the Chief Executive Officer of Indigo Books and Music, which just so happens to also contain ownership of the huge Chapters Books chain. Which is all but a monopoly of the retail book distribution system in Canada.

But if one reads deep down into Heather Reismans Wikipedia article, one will soon discover that the robber baron housewife has some other little jobs on the side. She is on the steering committee of the dreaded Bilderberg Group. And if you have the time you can check on You Tube for videos of her coming and going from said meetings. All very embarrassing to us tax paying Canadians to discover that the Bilderberg Group is hard wired right into the Prime Ministers Office of Canada. 

But surely it is a screw up of errors, isn't it? But alas, the Oracle of Ottawa must remind the Dear Reader that all of the 'Harper Government' is micro managed by the principal(s) of the 'Harper Government'. There is nothing left to chance. It is the Oracle of Ottawa's greatest fear that the said Senator(s) are nothing but stooges that have been set up by the 'Harper Government' and it's little helpers, to foment a grave Canadian Constitutional crises, which over the lull of the summer could be arranged in to a reverse coup de grace. You heard it here first. Tomorrows news today...  Where in heavens name was the vulgar old style media on this one?

Chatter Calamitous At Chapters

Fire cannot exist without air, so to understand the one we must understand the other.
Blaise Pascal, Pensees, No.43

The Oracle of Ottawa remembers well when Chapters first opened in Canada. It was a nice young lad that had a dream of raising the bar of Canadian book retailing. As far as the Oracle of Ottawa could discern he had no intention of destroying Canadian publishing for the sake of obtaining a mere monopoly. Then along come some housewife that had a burning ambition to play CEO, and had the rich husband to pay her bills. It has been all down hill from then on.

Bilderberg Group field office?

 Once upon a time in Canada a bookstore was a lot like a church. All you had to do was keep the racks full and the damn thing would run it self. Book selling is an ancient business in the Western world. And there are or rather were rules. The most important one being that modern marketing methods is best left to the likes of Canadian Tire and Walmart.  Books are not units or widgets. Good books in a proper place and setting will sell themselves. This is of course not the way it is at Chapters.

Walking into any Chapters in Ottawa one is greeted by a larger than life photo of one Heather Reisman, placed at the entrance to instill the cult of personality and to let the mere minions who is really the boss. To the Oracle of Ottawa it is a lot like walking into a Ministry of Information Service Center, right out of George Orwells 1984!  But as George Orwell warned us all just before he passed away that it was all up to us, the Oracle of Ottawa can't help but feel he has let the side down.

But this year it has gotten even worse. It was Sunday last when the Oracle of Ottawa was deep into the Literary Studies section at an undisclosed Chapters location when he heard a pager communication going off! "Beeep! Hey Barry, what part of the store are you in ? Beep! Beep!"  And bloody so on. To the utter shock and amazement of the Oracle of Ottawa Heather now has her minimum wage minions all equipped with two way mini  radio devices! There seemed to be some game plan afoot of marketing browsing customers for the Chapters thingy card. Which in the book business is something that is never, never done.

As the Oracle of Ottawa checked out with his cash purchase he did mention that the pager thing was pretty annoying and it really should stop, like now. Fast forward to today, at yet another undisclosed Chapters location, and even there the poor minimum wage thingies were all wired up, but now with a head phone and a wrist microphone! Christ! That was weird! The Oracle of Ottawa felt like he was in the Hotel lobby that was hosting the big Bilderberg Group meeting! But then upon further thought, it wasn't out of line at all as the Oracle of Ottawa remembered again that the CEO and personality of Chapters is a member of the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group!     

The "tween" section that had been recently enlarged at great expense was all but empty, the elaborate display of  E-readers various were ignored and shunned. Many of the favorite humanity sections have and are continuing to shrink in size, much to the chagrin of the customers with more than half a brain...How long can this go on?

Something all Canadians can be proud of.... (especially at 2:25)...

President Obama - Make The Rich Pay

I'm always struck by people who think, "well, it must be because I was just so smart." There are a lot of smart people out there. "It must be because I worked harder than everybody else." Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. 
President Obama, Campaign Speech,  Roanoke, Virginia, 2012-07-13


It strikes the Oracle of Ottawa wonderous ironic, looking from the outside in. That the country that gave birth to unregulated free for all capitalism is the same country were it is soon going to die, and be shoved once and for all back into the box! It was with great relief to the Oracle of Ottawa and most everyone around the whole freaking world that the second term is secured. But, as the Oracle of Ottawa mentioned in a much earlier post, at the event of the sudden demise of a certain bin Laden the second term would be a lock. And although I damn near gave birth to kittens in the early hours of the returns I was proven totally right.

President Obama (two termer)
Stands in front of the next President...

Well to tell the truth, the Oracle of Ottawa didn't expect that every swing state would be won along with the popular vote. Total Victory. While watching GPS on CNN this morning the Oracle of Ottawa learned that Rommney outsourced his "big data" functions! Talk about falling on your sword! Dying by your own bullshit, scum-bucket practices, is just, well, priceless!

And the right wing, defeated, just carried on the next day like nothing happened. Did you notice all the world Conservative Finance Ministers starting to talk at nearly the same time about the so called "financial cliff" ? Just like they all had the same speaking points handed to them at the same time! The Oracle of Ottawa found all that very scary and weird. The prayer circles around the world can't shut down yet. There are rosarys that have the dye worn right off of them! And they are going to be a little lighter still during this term.

As far as the "financial cliff" thing, the President has the right wing by the nuts (both hands...) and just hoping they will jump! If the Republicans play hardball, the President I am sure will just let the taxes kick in after the date. And he will be able to blame the "recession" on the "unflexible" right wing, Just like Pascals Wager, the President just can't lose this one. People all around the world knows what he has to deal with and it is scary powerful, but it must be brought to heel once and for all.

As the Oracle of Ottawa watched the images of the stubborn long lines of voters in Florida he kept thinking of the Great Doctor - Hunter S. Thompson, and wondered how he would have covered the event? Perhaps with a Coleman cooler of six packs and a tape recorder, but that is the subject of another post...or not.

Since all right wingers are visually oriented, the Oracle of Ottawa has included their near future marching orders in a video clip. Chop, chop off you go...
  

The City Of Ottawa Presto Ankle Bracelet

A fair body of scholarship has come to challenge the view that elected officials reign supreme. 
John W. Kingdon, Agendas, Alternatives and Public Policies, (Second Edition), p. 43

It was the last straw, as far as the Oracle of Ottawa was concerned. When the tired and past date Diane Deans stood to and up last week on the local vulgar media and finally announced the demise and death of the Presto Card ankle bracelet. People of the City of Ottawa really needed this! We had a perfectly working system before the brain fart of the Presto card. The only problem with it was that the City of Ottawa would not allow OC-Transpo the budget to hire more people to man the Ticket booths where they were sold! And with the old card pass system you could remain anonymous. Thence proving what the Oracle of Ottawa was suspecting all along. Starve - Kill - Privatize!! Here we are folks, again...

Stop RFID

It seems that quiet a few people did their due diligence about the Presto card. The Oracle of Ottawa has provided a link to the basic information. Now just read carefully. Note the aligned organizations with this ankle bracelet! The one that should scare the living shit out of you is that of Accenture! How the hell is Accenture got anything to do with your stupid bus card? Well just go to Google and enter Accenture - Bilderberg Group, go ahead, the Oracle of Ottawa dares ya!

The Oracle of Ottawa's "gaydar" went off when he realized that if you use this RFID device, it could not be used anonmously. Your credit or debit card will link your identity to it. All your movement data will be tracked and data based. Why don't you call 311 and ask what the City of Ottawa is going to do with all that data revenue? The data will be sold to the marketing firms, the insurance companies; life and health, the corporate land flipping whores, and a host of others, to long to mention. Not to mention all the users that will automatically be served due to the wording in the fine print of that sole sourced iron clad we are up your arse for ever service contract! And these parties are Homeland Security of the United States and of course CSIS. You don't think that monster building that is going up at CSIS headquarters on Ogilvie Road is a visiting centre do you? Well do you rube?

In closing, the Oracle of Ottawa must make note of yet another sad observation. It was all so eerie and spooky.... Next time you see Diane Deans on the vulgar media, you realize that there is this eerie resemblance to someone else, do yo see it? Ya, me to. She really looks looks Bob Rae in drag....

Well maybe not?

Sun News TV - Freedom Weekend!

The market is where social structure and culture cross.
Daniel Bell, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, p. 55

Are you going to go? Imagine! Discussions and "events" with your favorite Sun News personalities! Who could pass this up? Set at a very posh resort at Lake Rosseau, gee, you would think it was just like the first Bilderberg Group meeting. At over 200 km from Toronto there seems to be only one resort on the lake. It is called Windermere House. It markets itself as a "preferred" resort. What ever that means...

Dine on "ethical duck" with Ezra!

Just imagine the sheer elegance of it all. Words fail me, let me put it all into pictures...First, imagine dining with Ezra Levant! I mean that is a life changing event, no doubt. I always wondered what wine goes with perogies? Then, how hot would it be to watch the "stars" with Krista Erickson? You will just never be the same after that for sure...And then there is supposed to be snowshoeing with that fat cockey guy who's name escapes me. Sure sounds like a fine time, don't it?

Watch the "stars" with Krista!

Snowshoing with whats his name...

Why maybe in the down time from all these stimulating events you might have time to look into a fractional time share in the un-built phase n of that thriving cottage development. Hey! No pressure!

An "ethical duck" ready to be harvested from the Syncrude tailings pond in Alberta. Bon appetite!

The Symbolism Of Diane Finley

Conservatives insist that government should be " run more like a business." One might wonder how that could be possible, since government does not market goods and services for the purpose of capital accumulation. 
Michael Parenti, Democracy For The Few, (Sixth Edition),  p. 267

Another 'Harper Government' minister that really creeps the Oracle of Ottawa out is the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development! Yes, Diane "The Fly" Finley. She makes Dogbert the evil HR director look like a pussy cat. I have often wondered if she "wags" when she stands to her seat to answer a question in the House of Commons?  

Dogbert

For all of us that once earned a living in the real world, doesn't she just remind you of that idiot Human Resources type that thinks that there is no difference between government and business? To bad Karl Marx is not on the reading list at the Richard Ivey School of Business! I guess it is more important to get to the Hong Kong, China location to learn how to bow and kiss the ass's of the new masters of the universe... We really need an another upwardly wanna be that is going to "reinvent" government. MBA's have all but destroyed business in the Western world. It seems now that they are going to do all the governments! 

Remember! Don't use the air conditioner!!

It has been pretty entertaining watching the fly dodge angry questions in the House concerning the absolute meltdown of the Government of Canada service centers, that crumble to zero, the more she tries to make them more "efficient"! Why, when  she is done with them they will make a profit! (?) The Bilderberg Group certified management contractors are crafting together some excellent solutions! Yes sir! All provinces west of Manitoba will get connected lickity split to the call center in India and Pakistan, and all calls to Service Canada from provinces west of Ontario will be quickly served by the new Phillipines call center!!

And Diane Finley knows your time is money! Yes Sir! while you are waiting in the one hour minimum que, you will have a chance to get a real good deal on the 'Harper Government' Master of the Universe card! And when you sign up, you will get a $1,000 tax credit (non-refundable) to use on your tax return! Isn't that great?
And that is not including the introductory interest rate of 1.9% which after five minutes goes to 29.95%!! Yes the 'Harper Government' is going to guarantee to your "right to fail", every Conservatives dream and usual reality...

International Bank Fraud: A Crime Against Humanity?

A society is a cooperative venture for the mutual advantage of its members.
Nicholas Barr, Economics Of The Welfare State, p. 42

What is the difference between a black man in Africa in a uniform, carrying a gun, that devastates his society, and a white guy in a suit, with a briefcase in the West, that devastates his society with "free and open markets" and toxic derivative financial instruments? A Crime Against Humanity is defined as a:  " particularly odious offenses in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation of one or more human beings." Now we all know that millions of Americans are now living somewhere else, that once lived in seeming detached home luxury. Some, a very large percentage, some say, that will never escape "The Whole Year Inn" in this lifetime.

International Criminal Court

What about all the members of the European Union countries that have been devastated by credit agencies a continent away that are full of operatives from the Bilderberg Group and the many other secret and nefarious secret societies? Have you realized that all countries that have a social society more advanced than in the United States of America, seemed all of a sudden to be, overnight, a poor credit risk? Funny that...

ICC - The Hague

What about elected governments in a democracy that have been discovered to favor secret corporate friends to the detriment to the people that elected them? Could this not also be construed to be a crime against humanity? If the International Criminal Court existed in the 1930's, would the world be a different place today? With the advent of stateless and literally homeless vagabond Multinational Corporations that operate all over the world with , at present, absolute impunity, perhaps it is time to broaden the mandate of the International Criminal Court? Perhaps any bank or government that operates in a country that supports the International Criminal Court should automatically be under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. In short order any country that did not sign the Treaty, is in reality, a failed state waiting to happen.

Something to look into??

Trashing George Stroumboulopoulos's Talk

By which he Reigns: next to him high Arbiter
Chance governs all.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book II, Lines 909-910

George

When you are a media "personality" and have an article, that looks for the all world, that it was placed by your employer in Canada's national newspaper complaining about your ratings, you know that cancellation is only a season or two away. The main reason that the Oracle of Ottawa does not watch Strombo in the Red Chair on the CBC at 11:00 p.m. is that it is the same time that Charlie Rose is on at PBS! Even though some people say that the Charlie Rose Show is the media outlet of the Bilderberg Group, and that the Oracle of Ottawa is not a Bilderberg Group fan, he still watches. Because Charlie Rose is awesome at what he does. He is one of the best interviewers alive today. His interviews will be watched for decades well into the future. What can I say, George sucks.

What a jerk!

Canadian Labour And The Three Tired Regimes

Forget the shrimp Honey I'm coming home with the crabs
Hunter S. Thompson, Better Than Sex, p. 94

The one thing that really eats the Oracle of Ottawa is the deal that today's youngsters are getting in the work place. When I think of the deal that my nieces and nephews have today compared with what the Oracle of Ottawa once enjoyed, well, a man could get weary. Although union labour is still strong in Canada, it just isn't what it once was. Recently I have been pondering much on the problem. When and where did it start to go off the rails? It has been a long and slow process, but the answer came to me just recently. Labour power, in Canada and America especially, started declining on July 30th, 1975. The day that Jimmy Hoffa disappeared.

Winnipeg General Strike - June 21, 1919

At first hearing it all sounds a bit much over the top. But like all profound revelations, it improves with each and every additional pass. What are the foundations of the whole worker thing? What is it all based on? How is that labour got so far behind the eight ball? Well the Oracle of Ottawa actually rounded up some material on the subject recently. The reason there is not much good information on the subject is that the works are so incredibly expensive! It seems to be a conspiracy of some nefarious powers of billable hour powered interests. But already I have learned that the basis of labour law is based on three (tired) regimes. And I will try to share with you what I have gleaned so far.

The first regime is the common law of employment. "Which treats employers and employees as free and equal contracting parties in the buying and selling of labour." Don't you just get a real laugh out of that howler? This is essentially the same common law that Adam Smith and Karl Marx bitched about in their major works over a hundred years ago. And what is even more depressing is that their arguments are still as relevant today as the centuries of the past that they first recorded them! You as a worker, essentially have no power what so ever under the common law. We had better hope that the other two regimes left have something better to offer.

Jimmy Hoffa - Left - Where Labour Leaders Come From...

The second regime is collective bargaining. " It is based on the realization that the usually inferior economic position of the employees vis-a-vis the employer keeps the individual employment contract from being a satisfactory mechanism." No shit! Once labour was totally on top of this and really ran successfully with it for many many years. Then somehow, during the recent right wing wave that has circled the earth, this most powerful tool has been slowly and very successfully undermined. The one weird thing about all this to the Oracle of Ottawa is that the corporate overlords have no problem forming as a block against the workers of the world, through such "unions" as the Bilderberg Group, and all the other various secret societies! And yet they will not seem to allow and are never at all happy when we try to do the same thing for our own protection! Are you starting to see the problem here? 

The third regime is statutory regulation. This is the employment standards legislation of you province or state, that you happen to reside and / or work in. You don't need the Oracle of Ottawa to tell you that, depending where you live, this regime is now, it seems, constantly under attack. The Oracle of Ottawa is just in shock when he watches the incredible decline of American workers rights, especially as of late. It seems that the corporate blue suited whores will use any trick method, or naked power to even accelerate this dismantling. The old days of hearing the knees knock on the other side of the table is long gone it seems to me. What is to be done?

We need another Golden Age. And perhaps a Global Master Freight Agreement??

'Harper Government' Turtles Canadian Economy

While by thee rais'd I ruin all my Foes,
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book III, Line - 258

Money, like toilet paper, is printed on rolls, and to be really useful and enjoyable like toilet paper, you have to let it roll. Frightened people don't buy things. When you attack long standing institutions, not for any good logical reason, but rather for nefarious political and ideological reasons, people will fear for the future. They will withdraw from society nearly completely. Once they start, they are amazed at how little they really need to wait for the next election. They will have time to reflect, they will discover what Canada really needs.

Milton Friedman - You actually
bought my shit?

Over sixty per cent of Canadians did not vote for the 'Harper Government'. And the Conservatives and their minions are already hitting the ideological wall of rejection. They have played to the right wing neo-con Bildererg Group playbook exactly. Yet the deficit figures increase, due to the the rich enough upper middle class dropping out of Canadian society. With this drop in tax revenue, the unemployment numbers will continue to increase. Christmas retail sales will be horrendous. The majority of Canadian people have nothing to celebrate.

The right wing Chicago School rhetoric is met now, more than ever, by deaf ears. The proof of this is the repeated times the wee little financial leprechaun starts spouting it to the Canadian Press while the Markets are trading. Every time he does this the markets actually drop and tank for the whole day. Investors and stakeholders seem to have lost their confidence in Milton Friedman and his wee cheer leader Jimmy Flaherty.
The Central Bank of Canada has followed the Friedman k-percent rule with the fervor of a Western Canadian seeking the source of baby fat candles, worn Old Testaments, and Ayn Rand first editions. Yet it all continues to tank. We haven't seen anything yet!

The 'Harper Government' will continue with its insane game plan. The logic and reason of the Royal Opposition will soon be irrefutable, even to the thickest Tory gorilla of the farthest back benches. Then, at the just right time, Parliament will be prorogued, for the duration of the mandate. The Prime Ministers Office and the inner cabinet will rule by decree and the soft sweet light of baby wax candles...

Wait for it....

Rex Murphy: A Tool Of The 'Harper Government' ?

With kisses pure: aside the Devil turnd 
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book IV, Line 502

I have been listening to Rex Murphy for years. On Sundays when I am going up to the Ottawa Valley to visit my dear old Dad I always have the radio on to the CBC to catch Cross Country Checkup. Last Sunday November 20, 2011 was no exception. But I was immediately troubled by the subject and the guest, one Terry Glavin.You failed to inform your public that your "guest" is a signatory of the Euston Manifesto ! Or in plain English that you were hosting a right wing total wack ball that before the election of the 'Harper Government' you would not have anything to do with!

Rex Murphy;  is dead to me...

I immediately remembered then and there, so to speak, a recent appearance that you did on Strombo. You remember, right after the election of the 'Harper Government' where you utterly shocked me by  stating that all that bunk about the 'Harper Government' secret agenda was a load of rubbish and then continued on to diss one of the greatest Canadian writers that has ever lived! If you have forgotten that you can watch it here and now.

Did you say this of your own free will? Were you forced to say that by the CBC? Or was it the PMO and a close connection that someone failed to report to the Oracle of Ottawa? Or did you do it for money? Now let us cut back to Sunday last, to about eight minutes into the show. Where your illustrious guest stated that the biggest business in Afganistan was the collection of human bones by the locals (in Afganistan) to render into cooking oil for export to Pakistan!! So you stood by as your "guest" called people from Pakistan cannibals? This dear readers was the most base propaganda I have ever heard on the CBC!! The CBC Ombudsman should look into this!

This is quite simply a re-spin of the Corpse Factory Story that was employed by the British in World War I! It is discussed at length in the most informative book "Propaganda & The Ethics Of Persuasion" by Randal Marlin, a philosopher who presently teaches about propaganda at Carleton University! The whole saga of this vicious ruse starts on p. 71 of Mr. Marlins text! You appeared, in gasping shock, to have bought this utter load of crap without a question! The actual reality is the story is utter and absolute bullshit!! The rendering of a human body to oil (not cooking oil...) is possible with a process called TDP or rather thermal depolymerization , a very high tech process, that you can rest assured is not running or has ever run in the shit hole back alley's of stinking Afganistan! Since it is still under patent. And to provide even more detail, so you don't look like an idiot again, you can get way more oil from plastic bottles than the same weight of a human being! All this is, is a most base attempt to sell the other Afganistan mission to the Canadian public!

You have really let me and all Canadians down Rex. If you are being forced to be a "tool" of the Prime Ministers Office of the 'Harper Government' you should do the right thing and retire, and cop a job at some Sun News paper. I mean who is next weeks guest Ezra Levant and his book Ethical Oil??

Wack balls of a feather stick together, Ezra Levant, Terry Glavin and poor Liz May....

'Harper Government' Feeding Occupy Wall Street ?

In modern times sound policy-making must often come to grips with numbers.
Randal Marlin, Propaganda & The Ethics of Persuasion, p. 118

Once Charlie Rose talks about it, you know that it is "on". As the lowlife right wing neo-con media in Canada and the United States tries to whistle past the graveyard over the impact of Occupy Wall Street, all it takes is someone of the stature of Charlie Rose and guests like Paul Krugman  to disavow the neo-cons of that notion. And earlier this evening in Canada the "state broadcaster" the CBC has all but rolled out the carpet on the coming wave. This will be another wrench in the "Harper Government" gear box! With hopefully many more bigger and annoying ones to come.

more wrench's in the gear box....

Meanwhile, earlier today, Lisa "The Hapless" Raitt in an utter move of desperation has referred the Air Canada strikers to the CIRB! ( Canada Industrial Relations Board ) ,in a desperate attempt to prevent the collapse of the Canadian economy! ( Oh Please....) This action is highly irregular, and hasn't been attempted in my living memory. But that is the way with neo-con babes, they always go for the gun too quickly! Meanwhile Canada Post has filed a constitutional court challenge over the 'Harper Government' back to work legislation back in the summer. As you can plainly see the swamp is quickly filling with some very hungry and pissed crocodiles!

Why do the fat conservatives taste like little boys??

Meanwhile, amid all the union busting, as per Bilderberg Group directives, the forward scouts for Occupy Wall Street are arriving in Canada and scoping out the best locations for the coming inexerable wave of future troubles and embarrassments. And in the hapless Tory way of shit fortune, it will all boil up at the same time, and all but ruin the great mans last term as Prime Minister. It all should be very interesting to watch unfold.

Meanwhile, all the labour union lads are arranging for their strikes and last talks to take place during Parliaments very long summer recess!! Those crafty lefty bastards! Methinks the 'Harper Government' is going to be very tired by the time of the next election. No justice, no peace?

Coming Soon!! To a City Near You!!

The Arab Spring Comes To Wall Street And The New World

There is nothing more nervous than a million dollars - it moves very fast, and it doesn't speak any language.
Jean Chretien, My Years As Prime Minister, p. 364


It comes as a great surprise and shock to the Oracle of Ottawa that the Occupy Wall Street protests are in fact another import of foment from Canada! Well actually I am somewhat miffed, I mean with the Perimeter Security Deal all but done, how was it all possible? It seems that what ever can't possibly happen in the United States must originate in a "foreign" land. And Canada is the smartest neighbor nearby. None of this stuff can originate in Mexico, I mean really, the Americans still have some pride left. Don't they?

The Bull yields to the pigs...

It is amazing how similar this Wall Street demonstration is to the one that recently took place in Egypt. No leaders, just a lot of i-phones and a lot of very pissed and desperate people. The state seems to be reacting in the same way that the deposed Egyptian state first reacted in the early days of their demise. I wonder if they will have a camel charge just before the end? And come to think of it, I wonder if the "Harper Government", our government of the Bilderberg Groups little helpers, will still be laughing after the process starts at the location our once great financial institutions? Mikey Moore said there would someday be days like this!!

Nicely said and well...very nice!!

What is going to happen when the real big unions get involved? I figure the Teamsters will kick in large and this event will mark the resurrection and / or birth of the New Labor! When they start happening in Canada this month I strongly suspect that the Canadian Autoworkers will be huge and center! Why the Oracle of Ottawa is feeling better all ready!

Tomorrow will be different from today...

  As per history, that nasty one percent is not taking this at all seriously! It as all but a doddle soon to peter out, and then business as usual. I am certain that these people are in for a very nasty shock, not soon to be forgotten. Perhaps this will move Congress in the United States to pass the Presidents work legislation? One thing that we can be certain of that this is going to take off and the world will not be the same as the world of today.

Why does this make me think of the French Revolution?

Joe Comartin And The Clear Righteous Fight

Nothing is more admirable, than the readiness, with which the imagination suggests its ideas, and presents them at the very instant, in which they become necessary and useful.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, p. 24

You cannot call a piece of legislation a "reform" if it makes things worse. Such is the uphill task of Joe Comartin as he fights against the new insane Conservative "Omnibus Crime Bill". Like an Old Testament Prophet standing on a sand dune, with the poise and calm of an early Christian Saint on prozac, old Joe has been a delight to behold. With impeccable logic and cold mastery of the facts he stands to his place and daily shreds the pathetic excuse of what the Canadian people are stuck with for a Justice Minister in the person of one Rob Nicholson.

California State Prison - Do you want this in Canada?

The funniest part of the debate was when Joe calmly all but called the Minister of Justice a shit lawyer. The hapless and / or stupid Rob didn't even get it, well not until he was long out of the House for the day! One can only surmise that the only reason that Rob is the present Justice Minister is that he was starving as a lawyer!
And being a Queens graduate; well, that ensures membership to the Ivory Tower mafia. The nickels will keep on coming until at least the next election.

Joe continually hammered at some answers for some pretty basic questions. Such as how much do you think this will cost? No answer. The Conservative morons don't have a clue to the increased cost of their folly, all they know is that they are going to get it passed before Jesus comes again and the ambassador from you know where comes calling again for bagels and warm beer. Joe asks if the brainac Minister is aware that the Americans have tried the same thing and that even they could not afford it! (10.8 billion dollars per year in California!! 2008-2009) And are now in the process of repealing the insane legislation! Stony silence, it seems that Conservative Ministers Of Justice don't have to know how to read...

Six tiny plants will get you ten years under the new legislation! You will not need judges at all if this goes through! And we all know how the Tory's hate judges...Since every crime will carry a minimum sentence, circumstance will longer be entertained. If Rob can't make it as a lawyer, sure as hell no one else will! You got to wonder what is the real purpose of this trash bill?

The real purpose of this bill is to smash the social and economic symmetry of the Canadian nation state. It is part of the Tory hidden agenda of the New World Order as layed out in and by the Bilderberg Group directives. The end solution being making the world a level playing field. That is making first world countries eventually the same as third world countries. It is all as simple as that!!

I think Joe Comartin will make a fine Justice Minister, don't you??

Conservative Ontario Hat Trick Jammed!

I believe it will not be very necessary to prove, that these qualities produce an association among ideas, and upon the appearance of one idea naturally introduce another.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, Book I, Sec.IV, p. 11

What does the wee blue leprechaun Jimmy Flaherty have in common with Mayor Rob Ford? Okay your right on that one, the height deficiency disorder. What else? Well okay I will have to give that one also. The near megalomaniacal desire for power that they aren't intelligent enough  to wield on their own. But now you are getting really close! Earlier on in this blog the Oracle of Ottawa was referring to the Bilderberg Group a lot of times in jest. Tongue firmly in check, it seemed to make the words flow better and for some weird reason it gave the writing something I was trying to achieve... But the Oracle of Ottawa had a weird hunch to check something out, and in requirement  to the Thinking About Thinking Project, which is still ongoing, I follow all hunch's as procedure... Well the Oracle of Ottawa has truly frightened himself this time!

David Hume says; "I told you so..."

As you have no doubt heard in the old media, Dear Reader, the details of the incredible fees being earned in Ottawa by one Deloitte-Touche at the peasant rate of only $90,000 per day! All to help and aid the wee little bantam rooster Jimmy Flaherty in gutting the Civil Service...The whole contract tops out at a mere 20 million dollars. I am sure many extensions will surely be granted... Now at roughly the same time His Imperial Highness of Hog Town, Rob Ford, has the firm KPMG in for the kitten drowning exercise at the City of Toronto! I haven't heard what this is costing the beleaguered Toronto tax payer, but you can count on it being very rich...

The Oracle of Ottawa remembers when we once had competent governments in Canada. The last big clean up in Ottawa occurred under the administration of Jean Chretien. Why the guy wouldn't even think of contracting out such a task! They were Liberals, for crying out loud and  smart as hell too! They had more than enough brilliance in house, it was a total doddle!! And they did what they had to do, but they did it nicely and respectfully! Why people lined up for early retirement just to get their retirement plaque signed by a Great Prime Minister! It all went swimmingly.

So why is it that two levels of government, of the right wing wacko variety, have to bring in foreign contractors to do stuff that any civil servant staffer is more than competent to attend to on his own? Well the Oracle of Ottawa will let you discover this all by yourself...
Enter the following searches into Google... I have already done so to save you the time.... So just click on the link and it will take you there....

Deloitte-Touche Bilderberg Group.....(engage the high lighter...)

KPMG Bilderberg Group......(engage the high lighter...)

Now do you understand? These foreign "contractors" seem to be certified ideologically pure by the Bilderberg Group!! Why isn't the old style media running with this? Why isn't someone standing up in the House of Commons and asking this question? They will, and still do, have much more protection in the House than this poor blogger does out naked in the open....

The Oracle of Ottawa could go on and on... But I am not Hunter S. Thompson, and this is not the Rolling Stone magazine... Gods speed you poor fools....

Note wee Jimmy in the bottom right of the frame...making Lovey eyes with old Rob....

Is Vic Toews Senile?

All punishment being in itself evil, upon the principle of utility, if it ought at all to be admitted,  in as far as it promises to exclude some greater evil.
Jeremy Bentham, The Rationale Of Punishment, Book I, Chapter IV, p. 63

Vic Toews is currently the Minister of Public Safety, in the present Harper government. Today the "Omnibus Crime Bill" has been introduced in the House of Commons. All the cabinet members were therefore out doing the media rounds...Some ministers are better at this then others. Minister Toews caught the CRFA call to spread the word..on Michael Harris Live at about 1:45 - 2:00 p.m.. The Oracle of Ottawa was driving at the time and therefore caught the conversation accidentally.

Elizabeth Fry - "Criminal Lover..."

The bits I caught were about all the "criminal lovers" in Canada. The likes of such nefarious organizations as the Canadian Bar Association and that real evil bunch of criminal lovers the John Howard Society!! Upon regaining control of the car, I pondered how often in the past I have heard a Minister of the Crown besmirch his own professional body. For the life of me I cannot think of another example.

John Howard  - "Criminal Lover..."

Of course this is exactly what the Oracle of Ottawa predicted in many earlier posts to this blog. This is the first and biggest step into converting Canada into a penal colony suitable for the administration of the "New World Order" Brought to you by the neo-liberal agenda of the Bilderberg Group. No can say that they were not warned.

I was somewhat gratified that I was not overreacting to this great piece of disaster legislation. The CBC, the "State Broadcaster" replayed several times a clip of a spokesman from the Elizabeth Fry Society commenting that if these methods of preventing crime worked so well, then the United States Of America should be the safest place on Earth! In fact the United States is listed in The Worlds Most Dangerous Places (Fifth edition!) as one of the 26 most dangerous places on earth. I suppose the present Conservative Government thinks that the Americans are lonely...

Well, we should all be grateful that the Conservative Government of Canada is totally free of bias and is not under the control of any powerful foreign political lobbies... Whew...
