In designing and reforming social arrangements one must, of course, examine the schemes and tactics it allows and the forms of behavior which it tends to encourage. John Rawls, A Theory Of Justice, p. 57
Every time John Boehner appears on the Oracle of Ottawas big screen Sony television, the Oracle of Ottawa is strangely creeped out. There is some thing vaguely familiar and odious about the man, yet the Oracle of Ottawa cannot quiet put his finger on it. In the light of recent events the Oracle of Ottawa has day by day become more frightened. Who is this guy?
John Boehner - Creeps me out.
John Boehner is the second child out of eleven, born in Reading, Ohio. He shared the one bathroom in a two bedroom house and his parents slept on a pull out couch in the living room. Although his father owned a bar, it seems that capitalism, and being an entre-pren-whore was not paying very well at the time in Ohio. Out of this incubator of success, John was the only one in the family who ever graduated from college. It took him seven years because he appears to have been too stupid to go out and get a student loan, and besides that version sounds much better to the base in his riding. In Reading, Ohio John Boehner is a go getter and a shaker. Out in Boston and Washington he was always known as and is still known as a low life skidmark. Like John Rawls said, it is all about the starting point, isn't it?
(John Boehner speaks about will, listen to the words between the words...)
Although the great man held several jobs at once to complete his undergraduate degree, he was only tough enough to serve a mere eight weeks in the United States Navy. His Wikipedia article continues on with his superman like struggle from the bottom to the top of some unknown marketing company. You can also detect the unmistakable undertone of the huge chip on his shoulder, something that the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche would later call "the will to power". The Oracle of Ottawa wonders how many red flags a tea party type has to see before folding up.
(Here is another German guy with a chip on his shoulder speaking about will. Is that scary or what!?)
At the time of this writing the US government shut down is in its second day. The President is determined to stand his ground and the Oracle of Ottawa has no doubt that he will, to the very end. But as the Oracle of Ottawa has learned from the vulgar old fashioned media, is that it all gets very much weirder after October 17, 2013. No one can tell what will happen. The scenarios range all over the map so to speak. The Oracle of Ottawa sees several very horrific scenarios where by the situation goes into a kind of unpredictable kind of chaos, like at the beginning of the First World War. An earthquake here an uprising there could throw the whole game plan of every side out of whack. Someone should ask John Boehner if he has found a way to tell Republican ashes from Democrat ashes...
An idea starts to be interesting when you get scared of taking it to its logical conclusion. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed Of Procrustes, p. 3
It has been the Saturday routine of the Oracle of Ottawa for over a decade to tune into TV Ontario at 5:00p.m. on a Saturday evening and watch Big Ideas. It was all pretty dangerous stuff, as the truly greatest minds alive in the world today discussed very dangerous social ideas and proposed radical social experiments to actually realize them. There was Chris Hedges, Northrop Frye, and Noam Chomsky to mention only a few.
Big Ideas - Dead in Ontario...
Then out of the blue sometime last winter, it was announced that the low budget format show was being cancelled due to government funding cutbacks, which would in turn allow the provincial public broadcaster to save a paltry two million dollars. The show was to end at the end of last March. But there must have been serious blow back, since the last episode ran last Saturday, not on the last Saturday of March 2013. Ah, the power of social media!
What was even more depressing was that Saturday last was also the last Saturday Night At The Movies which has been a TVO institution since back in the 1970's. But surely Big Ideas would be replaced by something of equal value? Well, not exactly, in the place of Big ideas there was another rerun of the ever sickening Battle Field Mysteries. Whereby some pathetic wanna be goes and retraces the path of Canadian Forces in the battle fields of Europe to remind us all that Canada was just sooo close to being an imperial power just like the United States is today. It made the Oracle of Ottawa want to puke. But it was right in keeping with the Prime Ministers Office directives from the internal department of the Ministry Of Truth.
TV Ontario - A Dangerous Social Experiment...
Now we all know that a show like Big Ideas was certainly not a very expensive show to fund. They were simply tapes of left leaning lectures that were already paid for by other institutions such as the University of Toronto. And the people that spoke on Big Ideas were not the kind to demand a huge price to let their ideas be heard. As a matter of fact most of the speakers spoke for travel fees and living expenses! There was no dealing with Canadian production companies that run on a profit basis such as the provider of Battle Field Mysteries. So why would TV Ontario cut it's two most popular and cheapest format shows? Has TV Ontario been lying to us when they report how successful the recent fund raising has been?
If TV Ontario is cutting it's most popular and cheapest format shows due to the shortage of a paltry two million dollars, how is that the likes of the ever sickening, scrotum licking likes of Steve Paikin able to get a brand new elaborate set, that resembles the studios of Americas Fox News? How is it that there is money for that? How is it that the sickening likes of Allan Gregg , the erstwhile conservative fart catcher and father of the negative political campaign in Canada always has a set that is posher than anything that the CBC can produce? Well? How is that?
Well, let the Oracle of Ottawa explain to you Dear Reader. It all has to do with the corporate dismantling of Canada. Shows like Big Ideas do not instill the core values of the New World Order, as implemented by the Illuminati, upon the directives of the Bilderberg Group as carried out by the Prime Ministers Office. The core values of a citizen of the New World Order are: Consume, Conform, and Obey. Any radical talk or thought is and will be suppressed at all costs with extreme prejudice. Do you understand now?
It was last winter that the Oracle of Ottawa called his lawyer and had his will changed, that big bequest to TV Ontario has vanished like it was never even their. Since the writing or the lack of same is on the wall, the Oracle of Ottawa ponders why his left leaning tax dollars should have to subsidize the likes of the new TV Ontario? The Oracle has even gone to the very rare extreme of dropping the channel from his remote's favorites. The greatest thing that Kathleen Wynne could do is pull the plug on all Ontario Provincial funding to TV Ontario and let it seek funding elsewhere, like Sun News....
Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top. Hunter S. Thompson, Generation Of Swine, p. 87
The Oracle of Ottawa first heard about Bitcoin on the old vulgar media via television, and more than once. Bitcoin is a digital currency that is supported by a peer to peer electronic cash system. No one really knows where it all came from. But all the nerds and geeks assure the reporters of the old vulgar media that the open source code is written not of this earth. When they say this their eyes sort of gloss over in nerd adulation. This is when the Oracle of Ottawa's bullshit detector went off in alarm mode.
An un-virtual Bitcoin
The developer of Bitcoin is some entity named Satoshi Nakamoto. Of course no one has ever seen the character, and as to the time of this writing his location and true identity remains unknown. This all started back in 2009. The big selling point is that there is no government(s) in any part or parts of any Bitcoin transaction. It is sold as the new money for the whole world without any government interference. It also seems that even the corporate over whores cannot sink their teeth into the system either. And of course this another great selling point.
Especially if you are laundering money for what ever purpose. Or perhaps you wish to support a cell of people who you would rather not anyone question the intent of, if you get the Oracles drift. It would also be great for certain secret operations of a large national intelligence agency that wants to leave absolutely no trail. In other words most of the traffic on this peer to peer network would be of the illegal kind. This fact alone should give an intelligent person pause for thought, shouldn't it?
A Bitcoin mining rig
Since 9/11 the United States and its allies have gone totally nuts in the war on everything, including the war on your personal liberties as a citizen. Great honking security edifices have been buttressed and or new ones erected. There have been grumblings as of late, as in, we have gone way to far with all this. Of course as in all government departments, one has to constantly appear useful, or ones budget will certainly be not raised in the next budget cycle, or even worse, one could see budgets cut drastically.
After about thirty seconds thought it fully dawned on the Oracle of Ottawa who the real creator of Bitcoin was and why. The real parent of Bitcoin is the NSA. One of its major users is no doubt the CIA and other allied security agencies. The whole premise is very simple. If you want to track down terrorism, tax evasion, drug running, gambling and most any other crime you can name, simply provide the perfect ap for it to be done! Listen closely, until something big brews up, or the government departments brew it up, whatever, we need busts to justify our budgets and our existences. Trebles all round! Any questions?
It has only been three days since Justin Trudeau has been leader of the Liberal party of Canada. And already, as Justin predicted, the Conservatives have realized that the elite and truly gifted are back in town and coming for the 'Harper Government''s scalp and whole hide. The Oracle of Ottawa has never witnessed such outright hateful and lowlife ugliness. James Moore has shown his true colors and mark the Oracle of Ottawa, he will pay dearly in stature, now and for the rest of worthless life. What a pig.
Justin Trudeau - Causing panic...
What the western lowlife does not realize is that the uglier the 'Harper Government' gets, the more check books come out and the more money is being sent to the Liberal Party of Canada. Not only that, the Liberals are preparing for their day, which will be along way before 2015, and will last a Kingly long time. The people of the Laurentian Consensus are not done yet. If you thought the Energy Plan of the father was terrible, just wait what the west will be in for when Justin Trudeau is Prime Minister! The only thing that will stalk Alberta is sheep and tumble weeds. The billion dollar tar sand frac towers will be as Roman ruins. And it will never rise up again. Due to technological breakthroughs by the newly revamped National Research Commission. The demand for western beef can be destroyed forever with "free trade" deals with Brazil and New Zealand.
The rightful elite will rule forever more. Canada will quickly regain its true place in the world. The fiasco of the underhanded Temporary Foreign Worker plan, that was the tool of the 'Harper Government' to destroy trade unions and the middle class will be abolished. It must be terrible for the Harper Bund to have to witness their own slaughter in slow motion, as one seat by one seat, the "majority" slides away into oblivion.
The low life conservatives are so outclassed it is funny and yet pathetic to watch. Ministers making up their own science, and yes, it was that "piece of shit" Peter Kent again. I wonder if he must be getting pretty sick of having girls thrash him every day. And then there is the demented Joe Oliver quoting Chinese Communist slogans! You soon understand who is really the boss of the 'Harper Government'. Watch Question Period for yourself, you just can't make this shit up!
Justin Trudeau will be graceful for a while, then, when this guy swings! Look the fuck out... It will be very ugly, and nothing that the 'Harper Government' has ever witnessed before. Just ask that Native Canadian Senator....
Wives are young men's mistresses; companions for middle age; and old men's nurses. Sir Francis Bacon, Essay VIII - Of Marriage And Single Life
Ho! Ho! And the Oracle of Ottawa told you so, over a year ago now, Dear Reader, that the fascism would be coming thick and strong. And here we are again! The Oracle of Ottawa can hardly believe it; the 'Harper Government' is actually sending lowly CR's out in to the field to randomly knock on the doors of unemployed Canadians! And to add insult to injury, they are told not to return until they have found $485,000 dollars worth of fraud or "else".
MS. Dogbert??
But the Oracle of Ottawa must report the true master plan or rather the "final solution" that is only at present floating about Ottawa as a mere rumor. The present outpouring of "inspectors" is the traditional first thin wedge under the door. If this doesn't get stopped and / or none of the little "inspectors" don't get lynced and tarred, the 'Harper Government' already has step two in the works! And it has been passively reported to the Oracle of Ottawa that that step will include a full uniformed Employment Police Force, to be soon known as "The Finleys", with cars and all, that will daily go out and come to your house or wherever the unemployed miscreant is to be found and you will be forcibly dragged and delivered to the local burger joints and assorted big box stores! Of course, from which, there is no return...
It is all rather a sad state of affairs. The Oracle of Ottawa can't imagine having to deal with a hairy assed Cape Brettoner after twelve pints (i.e. around 10:00a.m.) somewhere out in the metropolitan area of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia! Somehow, the Oracle of Ottawa feels that the 'Harper Government' will not be able to draw a line under this one as an unfortunate error and hope that Canada will allow then to get on with it.
Well, from watching Question Period recently, it does not seem to be going at well for the pin headed small town hick that has the great misfortune to be named Diane Finley! The Oracle of Ottawa finds it all an outrageous hoot when under intense grilling from the head of The Royal Opposition, she starts to lose her voice, as her throat constricts in absolute fear. Yes, the Oracle of Ottawa "wags" like Dogbert every time he watches the so called "Minister" start to fold and wither away. The Oracle of Ottawa strongly suspects that she will soon fold up like the wee banty finance minister, the wee Jimmy Flaherty.
It is all sweet days from now on folks. In closing, the Oracle of Ottawa must relate the latest joke circling about in Ottawa at the present....
Q: How does a woman become a cabinet minister in the 'Harper Government'?
A: Easy! Just screw a Senator....
Diane Finley circles the bowl...Enjoy!! Can't find where the Senators live?? Stop your killing me!! LOL!!
If you lose the dullards back in the dust, you don't want them anyway. William Zinsser, On Writing Well, p. 26
It was with the greatest relief that the series entitled "Our Time To Lead" finally ended in the Globe and Mail newspaper, once Canada's national paper. It just hasn't been the same since that unnamed large telecom got it's corporate whore hooks into it, upon getting a minority percentage stake a while back. The only thing that was missing from the copy was that little header in small type at the top of the page that says "Advertisement Feature"!
Ottawa - 2025??
The spin doctors and fart catchers assorted of the 'Harper Government' Bund pulled out all the stops on this one, didn't they? One million new Canadians a year until the population of Canada is up to 100 million! Please! The Oracle of Ottawa has already dealt with this utter propaganda lie already. With Canada's present population and present growth, we will have 100 million people by the end of this century anyway. And where are you going to get one million people every year, let alone this year to come from? Now we get to the heart of the matter, the nut of the problem, so to speak...
Canada was an awesome place once, up to about 2006. Since then it has been going all to hell sure and steady. We sure wouldn't be able to get 1,000,000 new immigrants from the European Union or Scandinavia for all the remaining years of this century. And those immigrants are the last people that the 'Harper Government' would even want in Canada. You see dear reader, it is not about bodies, it is all about changing Canada forever.
Brampton - 2025??
Where in heavens name would you get 1,000,000 immigrants without end of the supply from now to the end of this century? Well, that's easy, isn't it? China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Sub Saharan Africa for the stragglers. All these people have several characteristics that the 'Harper Government' just loves. These are people that come from patriarchally predominate societies of clans and / or tribes. Only the headman have a choice, the rest of these people will live their whole lives without a choice, especially the women. And they are all tightly socially knit. They will all move to and stay put at wherever the 'Harper Government' tells them to go. And that of course is all the old Liberal "beachhead" ridings in Ontario and Quebec! Only the white people will even get near the tar sands in Alberta!
Again, dear reader, it is not about numbers, it is not about population growth, it is about choice. It is about that you still have choices. The 'Harper Government' will not tolerate this. They are prepared to utterly destroy the social liberal culture of this nation once and forever. By bringing in 1,000,000 tribal clansmen per year until even on one election day, in your lifetime, you will no longer even have the choice of throwing the bums out...
And all those other issues while we are at it. Do you see the pattern? You had a choice, that is being taken away, one step at a time, until you don't....
The progress of humanity is like climbing an endless ladder; it is impossible to climb higher without first taking the lower steps. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume I, p. 295
And the coming darkness continues to descend. The Wellington Street putsch continues anon! The demented outbursts by Vic "The Dick" Toews continue in the House of Commons. The next day he forgets that he said this or that. The Oracle of Ottawa truly believes what the great man says. I am firmly convinced that he hasn't the foggiest idea what he said yesterday.
Bill C-30, consisting of all 109 pages, is known by its short title Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act. It seems to be pretty draconian in tone and utterly slippery in its wording. Now we all know that there already a ton of provisions in the Criminal Code of Canada to catch the "kiddie diddlers". Why in a really good year in Canada the feds might bust a whole two dozen perverts! Out of a population of 35 million people it appears to be a virtual crime-a-geddon!
Funny thing is though, when you read the proposed act, this blogger has yet to find the first reference to child and / or pornography! Very strange that, don't you think? It appears to the Oracle of Ottawa to be a very severe star chamber type of cover-all legislation that has very little do with pornography of any kind. It quickly appears to be a bill to quash any and all dissent of the 'Harper Government'. How soon will it be, do you think, dear reader, before the Mounties are at my door? And why haven't we even heard a peep from Google, Rogers, Shaw, and Bell? Have they already cut their deal? Could this be ordered by our new friends, the Peoples Republic of China? Many questions, pay attention folks....
See! The Oracle of Ottawa is not the only one who thinks that Vic "The Dick" Toews is crazy!
"Elements include nationalism; hostility to ideals of equality; hatred of minorities, degenerates, and deviants; elitism; hostility towards the ideals of liberalism, and in particular towards freedom of expression; the cult of the charismatic leader or Ubermensch; belief in the destiny of the race; and a love of political symbolism such as uniforms and other emblems of militarism. The whole cocktail is animated by a belief in regeneration through energy and struggle." Simon Blackburn, The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy, Entry: Fascism, p. 136
The Oracle of Ottawa often hears the Tory Bund, or, better known as the Conservative Party of Canada, commonly referred to as fascist. But what is fascism? In accordance with the present and ever ongoing "Thinking About Thinking" project, the Oracle of Ottawa decided to some research and think on this on his own. Consulting many reference works that are permanently on hand in the secure bunker, the Oracle of Ottawa has discovered the best definition of fascism in Simon Blackburn's self compiled Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy. I have included it as the entry quote to this pensive missive. Let us compare this definition piece by piece and see if there is any observational truth to this malicious rumor that the 'Harper Government' is in reality fascist.
Well?
Elements include nationalism; I don't know about youdearreader, but every time "Steve" stands up in public and calls Canada a "superpower" I just cringe! And there always seems to be mixed in a sort of a manifest destiny thing. I quite expect to hear that Canada needs breathing room in the next sentence, but that I suspect is being kept for later...
hostility to ideals of equality; The 'Harper Government' is all for equality as long as it is not supported in any way with any form of tax revenue. Ideals of any kind are only successful if they pass the test of the crucible of the "free market". hatred of minorities, degenerates, and deviants; This includes any one who is NOT a card carrying conservative, and is / or a subject or ward under the Canadian Indian Act.
elitism; this includes all institutions and pursuits that are posher than anything that could be created by the minions of the Sun News TV media outlet. Canada is indeed a very elitist based country! Who knew?
hostility towards the ideals of liberalism, (see hatred of minorities...)
"Ubermensch"
and in particular towards freedom of expression; Seetext of the Safe Streets and Communities Act...And future legislation concerning most forms of modern communication.
the cult of the charismatic leader or Ubermensch; The Government of Canada is now referred to as the 'Harper Government', 'nuff said?
a love of political symbolism such as uniforms and other emblems of militarism. You have no doubt noted the intense pre-occupation with all things concerned with "power projection" and the shift of the Canadian image to the American imperialist image...Also includes the endless rehashing of past glories especially those of such that will not even be possible to duplicate under the present 'Harper Government'.
The whole cocktail is animated by a belief in regeneration through energy and struggle. See any of the footage posted on You-Tube of any 'Harper Government' cabinet minister... Well ok, the ones that are allowed to talk...
I will now leave you, dear reader, to ponder your own conclusions....
Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt - it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege. Tommy Douglas, Tommy Douglas Speaks, p. 209
Dear Tommy;
It is a good thing that you are free of this mortal coil. It is totally going nuts down here in Canada right now. We have no doubt that you are very busy up in Heaven. You, no doubt, have copped the Speakers gig at the Assembly of the Universe! And you even got a free place to live? An unlisted galaxy! Damn man.. What? That Socrates guy is impossible to reign in at all when he gets started? And Plato says he is your problem now
and is on a sandy beach with a large breasted, shapley Latina!? OOOO---kay.....
Everything that you feared in your life time and did every thing to protect us from is now rapidly coming to pass! Damn it, they are even going to scrap the Canadian Wheat Board! The Conservatives are back in power with a very slight majority. They want to convert Canada into an American Republic! They want to "reform" the Senate so that we have that 24 month, 24/7, American election cycle! Peace, Order and Good Government seem to be out the window.
AA-12 - Soon to be unrestricted??
Thanks to some far sighted Liberals, with the help of the NDP of course, we got a long-gun registry finally. It has saved a lot of peoples lives so far. But the insane Conservatives want to scrap it! They haven't mentioned, to my knowledge, what they intend to replace it with... So my worst-case scenario is that there will be gun racks of weapons for sale every where... Just like Georgia! "Do you want a .38 with that?"
Is this a "long gun" or what??
They had the Speech From The Throne on Friday last, and a young female page shook the place to the core by marching out to the center of the Senate floor holding a sign saying "Stop Harper!" Damn it Tommy, you were right back in the 1960's when you often said it was the young people who would figure it all out first! I am so disheartened lately, it is all I can do, to keep this damn Blog alive and going. It is the only way, I feel, I can fight this... But you know as well as I do that there are certain Governments that retain dormant hit teams in Ottawa to get rid of special problems for the Canadian Government for "future consideration" ... At some point, I figure I will be simply toast.... Google will give up my true identity finally, I figure....
But, Tommy, I don't give a flying rats ass fuck! I would rather be dead then Blue...
See ya soon:
Oracle of Ottawa
A nice song from some fellow Scotsman Tommy... Most suitable for the occasion....
(Proof that you are never, never, never too old to effect change...)
