China's Old Men - Truth or Dare?

If a lion could talk, we wouldn't be able to understand it.
Wittgenstein, Philosophy of Psychology - A Fragment, Sec. 327

Those public demonstrations must be pretty bad in Hong Kong, as they even climbed to the top of the Canadian news cycle today. The paper mache Goddess of Democracy ought to be making it's appearance about anytime now. The Oracle of Ottawa is really enjoying watching China's old men twist. This ain't 1989 Dear Reader! There is so much more at stake at the time of this writing. Back in 1989 China did not have access to the massive and gullible capital markets of the Western Free World.

China's old men - trapped by the ideological balls?

Why it was only last week that Jack 'Forrest Gump' Ma hit up the New York Stock Exchange for over twenty billion real American dollars in that monster Variable Interest Entity IPO of the previously unknown Alibaba electronic bulletin board! The Oracle of Ottawa spent all the week before it went public to inform investors to beware, and that it was really only a two dollar preferred debt offering. Of course the Oracle of Ottawa caught a ton of heat online about it, but come tomorrow we will soon see who was right won't we?

The real question here Dear Reader, is Truth or Dare, Money or Power? Will the demented old peasants of China's corrupt and inbred politburo stomp the citizens of Hong Kong in the social and journalistic media light of the world like they did in Bejing in 1989? And if they did what will be the opening prices of all the Chinese variable interest entities that trade at present on the New York Stock Exchange, come the opening bell on Monday morning?

It is real ignorant, real world irony, of classical proportions that the option chains on Alibaba start trading tomorrow morning! And the Oracle of Ottawa's feelers went all fuzzy, when it was reported  on CNBC last week that some unknown hedge fund laid a huge short position on Alibaba, of 2.4 - 3.6% ! of the outstanding issue. Someone is real cocky or perhaps very well informed, perhaps a bunch of merchant banks from Hong Kong perhaps?

There were many reports about how many Chinese politburo members were "partners" in the last Alibaba IPO. Do you really think they are going to risk all that loot for the sake of a municipal election in Hong Kong? Will the old Chinese men cut the nose off of their very lost faces for mere ideological purity? The Oracle of Ottawa has heard that the Chinese can eat damn near anything, but ideology? Perhaps with a black bean sauce and some Deer Penis Wine...?

Google + Was It Something I Said?

(Lying is a language - game that needs to be learned like any other one.)
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations, Sec. 249

While checking my page views on Google + on Sunday(last) at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) I had 1,024,571 views.  At 12:03 a.m. Monday I discovered that I only now had 964,924 views! The Oracle of Ottawa was shocked that my Google + account was now counting backwards. What ever could be the cause of that?

Freedom of Speech is now selective?

Well it just so happens that the Oracle of Ottawa was making some pretty cutting comments on videos that were describing that insane Alibaba initial public offering that went off last week on the New York Stock Exchange. The Oracle of Ottawa didn't agree with the whole thing at all.

We have all heard about Gresham's Law, which states basically that bad money drives out good money. Well the Oracle of Ottawa is smart enough to be able to project that a little farther and to come to the stark conclusion that bad securities on a once good stock exchange will drive away all the good stocks. When you are ready to allow old thing, no matter how big it is, for one dollar more, we are on a real slippery slope people.
 

Of course the whole thing was a rather strange glitch that I am sure the best and brightest at Google are on top of. But it does give one pause doesn't it? The Oracle can't but help feel that if I only commented on cute and cuddly kitten videos nothing regarding my page views would have occurred. But what ever you do, don't comment on peasant Chinese securities offerings of Variable Interest Entities on the New York Stock Exchange!

China - The Best One Volume History

Nations are what their deeds are.
G. W. F. Hegel, The Philosophy Of History, p.74

If you are not living under a rock, you don't need anyone to tell you that China has become, in recent times, a very large force in the world. This is of course going to be real trouble in the near future. A good way to understand this is to have a basic understanding of the history of China. The problem is that the peasants of the Peasants Republic of China has a history that covers roughly about eight thousand years.
 

Worried about China? Forget about it..

 As a public service for his world wide readership the Oracle of Ottawa has been keeping an eye out for the perfect modern day summary that the modern busy person of today could read and benefit from. The problem with Chinese histories is that there is  a lot of them and most of them are as boring and as dry as fried out area of hell. The ideal situation would be to discover one that was written by someone that was actually on the ground at the time of the big modern changes that we are all presently dealing with today.

It is all a pretty tall order, but the Oracle of Ottawa has discovered just the ticket recently, by total chance of course, while still ever working on his "thinking about thinking" project. The name of the work is: A History of Chinese Civilization by Jacques Gernet.(Second edition...) It is under 800 pages, but is the most readable history of Chinese civilization that the Oracle of Ottawa has ever seen. And for good measure the Oracle of Ottawa has read it and most heartily recommends it as the work that hits the spot.

The one you want...

 The work has been translated into English and published by Cambridge University Press which is all that has to said as far as the bona fides are concerned. The book consist of eleven parts, broken into numerous chapters. After reading through it, the reader will have a very strong handle on what makes China tick, and why it ticks in the way it does. It explains most clearly the greatest weaknesses of China as a society in the modern world. The time period covered is from 8,000 B.C. up to 1989 A.D. with that nasty business in Tiananmen Square. The work is very well illustrated, with tons of summary facts and chronologies for handy quick reference. 

This is a most useful work for persons that are thinking of investing and /or doing business in China. (Don't!) Or for people that just want to understand the evening news somewhat more clearly. The main idea is that China is totally different from the Western World. It explains why, and why it will never change. It also explains the great structural weaknesses that presently are built into Chinese society  The Oracle of Ottawa has also included a video of another Canadian who has also been on the ground very recently and comes to pretty much the same conclusions as Gernet does but in an even more hard hitting way. Enjoy...

What Is The Peasants Republic of China On?

Better a small piece of a big pie, than a big piece of a small one.
Calouste Gulbenkian, (Mr. Five Percent...)

It is Victoria Day here in Canada, the first long weekend of the summer season. And it was a perfect, pretty, blue and cool day. The Oracle of Ottawa thought that that was a most generous gift of the Gods, but it all got better as the Oracle of Ottawa watched his local old time vulgar media lunch time news. It was that clip from the daily State Department Press Briefing that announced the indictment of a wack of military officers from the great Peasants Republic of China. Needless to say it made the Oracle of Ottawa's day.

No Disneyland for you Wong Dong...

 After the laughing stopped, the Oracle of Ottawa was pretty sure how the State Department actually linked each face to each computer. The stupid peasants left their web cams on as they were vandalizing assorted large American sites for for a free lunch. Yes Dear Reader, way out of control and way too much Deer Penis Wine, that shit will get you every time. 

Actually the Oracle of Ottawa has been simply awed and amazed at the recent actions of the Peasants Republic of China in days as of late. What the hell are they trying to prove by strong arming a semi submersible off shore oil rig into hot contested waters off of Vietnam? Does it make any sense to anybody at all? It reminds the Oracle of Ottawa of a big yella dog that chases cars. If the car actually stops, what is that big yella dog going to do with it? Such are the risks of chasing the hubcaps of global hegemony!

Chinese HD-981 off of Vietnam..

  As the Chinese are finding out at a very rapid rate, it sure sucks to be a peasant master of the universe. Who knew it would all be so much work and effort? Of course if the Peasant Republic wanted to really bring it, they would have formed a sweet joint venture with all the locals and played straight up. The Oracle knows this is true, you can learn a lot of things from Armenians of the recent past, see epigraph above.

But the part of the story that kept the Oracle of Ottawa glued to You-Tube for the last couple of days was the reaction of the "weak state" of Vietnam! They sure got the Peasants Republic of China's attention didn't they? It was all pretty unfortunate about the misidentified Koreans and Taiwanese though, but it proves the Oracle of Ottawa's point, even to Asians, they all look alike. If they can't tell each other apart, how would it be possible for a an old Gajin like the Oracle of Ottawa ever to learn? Ho! Ho!

The Oracle of  Ottawa has taken a lot of heat in recent times of late as to opinions of the true motives of the Peasants Republic. Why some people have even hurt the Oracle of Ottawa's feelings by insisting that he was a bigot! Ouch, that hurt's. But today was the day when it all came together and proved that the Oracle of Ottawa was right all along. It would be all really great if this was the end of the matter, but the Oracle of Ottawa must inform his Dear Readers, that this is all just the start of much graver matters.

Chinese Peasants Hear Ping? Ya Right...

All that destroys social unity is worthless; all institutions that set man in contradiction to himself are worthless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

The Oracle of Ottawa is really trying to give this blogging thing a break. But stuff keeps popping up on my Sony flat screen X series television that really pisses the Oracle of Ottawa totally off. The most recent occasion of such an affront happened right this very morning on CTV News Net. There was a breaking news report that a Chinese ship Haixun 1  has detected a black box ping nearly thirty days after the vanishing of flight MH 370. The Oracle of Ottawa says: total bullshit.

The paper tiger sweats it out...

There is also a British nuclear submarine in the search area along with a British Royal Navy surface ship also deploying the weird manta ray towed submersible device. Of course the Chinese Peasant technology is way better then imperialist gaijin technology. That of course is why there still is no confirmation at the time of this writing. If the report was true, the Brits would have most certainly picked it up also. If they had picked it up it would all be a simple matter of crossing the bearing lines, and the mystery of MH 370 would have been solved by now.

But alas, another report that crossed the Oracles TV screen later in the day contained the revelation that the owners of said flight MH 370 were very behind in their planned maintenance of such unimportant things as black box underwater sea pingers. Therefore there is simply no way that box is or was even pinging at such a late time after the vanish without a fresh recently installed battery. The Oracle of Ottawa is certain that he can explain all the false and recent news announcements of the said Chinese Peasants Republic.

The Oracle of Ottawa strongly suspects that by now the peasants survivors that have been ruthlessly expended by a very botched false flag operation are in quite an unpredictable state, that is spreading all over the China mainland. It is only with the greatest difficulty that the head Chinese Peasants are keeping the lid on. It is now appearing to the head Chinese Peasants that the old rule of thumb of 'there is more were they came' from is no longer working....

Big Ass Booty - Whats The Big Deal?

In the division of this "booty" an exceptionally large part goes to countries which do not always stand at the top of the list in the rapidity of the development of their productive forces.
Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, The Lenin Anthology, p.250

It has come as great shock, and all in, a bit of a downer, that one of the leading search words and phrases to my highly literate blog is that of Big Ass Booty. This was all accidentally caused by the creation of the blog post entitled Big Booty in Muskoka, which was about certain political goings on here in Canada. And due to that one stock image, it has become one of the Oracle of Ottawas top ten pieces. The Oracle of Ottawa had no idea that there was and exists such a world wide shortage of Big Ass Booty. Especially it seems in the Islamic World at the time of this writing. What is up with that?

Venus of Willendorf

One of the second close search phrases to this blog is Big Ass Chinese Booty. But the Oracle of Ottawa reflecting on his long past experience knows that there is no such thing. China is a no booty empire, every straight man in the Western World knows that, don't they? But as a public service, the Oracle of Ottawa has done some easy and elementary research into the origins of big ass booty. The results of course are most interesting and educational.

China -The no booty empire...

The Mother of all big ass booty is the Venus of Willendorf. It was found in the village of Willendorf around 1908, which is in Austria and now resides in a natural history museum in Austria. It is of no surprise to the Oracle of Ottawa that all German speaking peoples love their big ass booty. This preoccupation with big ass booty has been going on for the longest time. It is estimated that the age of the Venus of Willendorf is between 22,000 to 24,000 years old! Yes indeed, the white Aryan peoples have had a very long obsession with their booty. And it seems that in the modern world of today that all the other peoples are desperately attempting to catch up with us. No doubt having discovered via the internet of the satanic empires just what the hell they have been missing.

Of course the origin of this attraction is of course the psychoanalytic concept of the Mother Goddess which represents motherhood, fertility, creation (i.e. yours..) and the endless bounty of the earth, especially those peoples that live in the north and western parts of it. Ironically this was all discovered and was deeply researched and written up by another German speaking dude by the name of Carl Jung. He identified big ass booty as one of the most important archetypes known to all reasonable fun loving men. Das gut...

In closing the Oracle of Ottawa must admit that after a long and most fun search there is no such thing as big ass Chinese booty. In Asia if you want big ass booty you must go to Japan (ironic isn't it?) or the Philippines.
And that footage is easy as hell to find. The Oracle of Ottawa has included a clip that he somewhat enjoyed in passing. And when you finally get it out of your system for a little while you might want to explore my other blog posts. But be careful, you might learn something....

Toronto Pandas Arrive - Chinese Conquest Complete

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
SunTzu, The Art Of  War, Chapter 3

Can you think of any better symbol of China than the Panda? A fat, dozy, stunned, stupid animal, that has long since past it's evolutionary best before date tens of thousands of years ago. An animal that can't really be removed from its original environment without it dropping dead. At first glance, it appears sooo cute, but once you do it and get over it, you realize that under the fur it is just like all china men, a barbaric peasant.

How the hell is this 'cute'??

 And you know when the Chinese Peasants Republic grant you the dubious honor of being allowed to babysit a pair of these worthless animals, they all but have you up the ass, and that you are essentially a Chinese vassal state. That seems to be just fine with the useless 'Harper Government'. There was the chromed domed useless eminence, in the person of Steve Harper there to greet these sluggish slut bears in person! What a joke! Meanwhile last summer, he couldn't show up at the airport in Ottawa to greet Angella Merkel, the President of Germany! Who the Oracle of Ottawa would rather do business with any day before wasting my time with Chinese peasants. Not hating, just saying...

And did you get a load of that peasant Chinese ambassador to Canada! What a vulgar lowlife piece of shit! Millions of dollars are being spent to have this useless lowlife shit in my once nice clean country. And the 'Harper Government' actually spent the last couple of years all but begging for the dubious honor of hosting the Chinese peasant slug bears. Just let the damn things go extinct and get it all over with.

Of course in return we should give the Chinese a similar gift shouldn't we? The Oracle of Ottawa was thinking three pairs of breeding Canadian Beavers! The Chinese could just leave them any where back in the woods most anywhere in China, and they will soon have a beaver for every zoo in China and the rest of Asia! Do you see the esential difference between Canada and China? Panda bear - beaver, got it? In the interest of economy, two doses of 9cc's of Smith and Wesson should be applied to each Panda and then reduce the carcass' to a rug and then return them to China to save on the shipping....

Pigs On The Water In China

Most economists believe that economic science can proceed just fine without attention to ethics.
Julie A. Nelson, Economics For Humans, p.22

It must be true, I read it on You-Tube; only the Chinese can turn water into swine! Honestly folks, what does the fact of a river full of dead pigs in China tell you? Well it tells the Oracle of Ottawa that the Chinese have yet again incubated a another fine strain of swine flu. It ought to be here in the free world just in time for the next flu season. And if the number of increased pig bodies floating down the rivers has any information, this strain is going to be a real bitch.

Feel like a swim?

 There are no secrets in this world dear reader, there are just stupid people that refuse to read the writing on the wall. And a lot of it has to do with being able to ask the right questions when presented with the right facts. This recent story that just today appeared on the Oracle of Ottawa's local vulgar media supper hour news could also explain a lot of other related world news matters most recent.

It seems that the hermits of the Hermit Kingdom, otherwise known as North Korea are getting awful feisty as of late, aren't they? It must be getting a little out of hand when they are threatening a nuclear strike on the continental United States. Talk about a death wish. Especially when there is most certainly a boomer located on station somewhere very near said hermit kingdom, already and prepared to make the whole state in question a glowing glass covered parking lot, with all the survivors glowing, so as to make it easier to shoot them in the dark.

But look at the upside, at least for the near future sweet and sour pork is going to be on sale at all the buffets!  

Yes - All You Have Is Less...

I pass away. yet I complain, and no one hears my voice.
William Blake, The Book Of Thel, Part II,  line 4

Well dear reader, it is all in and all but done. And the great 'Harper Government' is not letting anyone down, is it? The great legacy of the 'Harper Government'; the legacy of less is well on its way. Now you have less unemployment insurance, less retirement time, less choices to sell your crop(s). Less opportunity to compete in the free market to sell your labour, the only thing that most Canadians have to offer. Canada has a less bright spot in the world. And the only thing that the young have to look forward to, that is certain, is less.

Welcome your new masters...

It was the year of the omnibus crime bill, the omnibus budgets and it should not be surprising that the newest and most popular word that was introduced into the Oxford English Dictionary  this year was "omnishambles"! The irony of it all is simply breathtaking isn't it? Then just before the high holiday of this Christian Nation the 'Harper Government' announced the sell-out of Canada to our new Chinese masters. The details of which are still a secret. Right on cue, the first horde of orthodontically  challenged Chinese peasants landed in British Columbia at a coal mine. The Oracle of Ottawa predicts that by 2015 TFW's (Temporary Foreign Workers) will be doing one in ten jobs in the Canadian economy. By 2020 it will be at least one in five jobs.

It was wondrous weird that as soon as the CNOOC deal was approved, Air Canada announced the opening of its new "budget" airline Rouge Air! The Oracle of Ottawa calls it Air Canada's Red Flag! It took a while to explain to my significant other that this was not an airline that she could travel on. With a busted union staff contract, and over 85 seats added from the Airbus, this is not something that your average Caucasian can board to take that cheap trip to Asia! With 85 seats added that means that the galley and the crew sleeping quarters is gone! Air Rouge or Rouge Air is simply a TFW air freight train. It was part of the China Canada foreign investment protection act! Since the details of this act are secret, prove the Oracle of Ottawa wrong!

It also appeared to the Oracle of Ottawa that the promise of a hands - off economy did not appeal very strongly to the people of Ottawa. The cheap Chinese shit was still piled high and unsold at the all the malls in Ottawa. Perhaps the "reinvented government" of the City of Ottawa had a lot to do with this also, in that there was no intense snow removal at all this year, no doubt due to the fact that the snow happened on statutory holidays that would have entailed time and a half and or double time and a half. You can't buy that Chinese shit if you can't get to the Malls can you? The Oracle of Ottawa is certain that the corporate over - whores will realize a mistake in their strategy, or not!  

As the Oracle of Ottawa has mentioned many times before in this humble blog, not even the basest animal in nature ever shits in it's own nest! Well this year proved that the present 'Harper Government' is certainly not your average animal! Ho! Ho! Bill C-377 will no doubt pass in the Senate. Then we will get the Right To Work legislation right after. At least the blue collar types will always be able to get at least minimum wage. The young and upcoming white collar types have nothing to look forward to but one unpaid internship after another. Paid for by their parents. House and home mortgaged to help junior get that starting job that will at least pay the interest on his or her student loans... Entrepren - whore - ship, great isn't it?

"The horrors (whores?) of your experience... LOL....

'Harper Government' - The CNOOC Paradox

There is no idea which we receive more constantly from sensation than solidity.
John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, p. 76

Well dear reader, another session of Parliament is all in and done. And all those people that claimed right after the last election that we had nothing to fear from the 'Harper Government' must all be feeling pretty dirty, stupid and duped, you know, the likes of Rex Murphy for instance... The up side of course is the the august prime minister is all ready well on into building the 'Harper Government' legacy. The legacy of less.

CNOOC emperor Dr. Fu Chengyu; we own Canada now...

We are all familiar by now of the 'Harper Government' ethics. More commonly known in Ducks Ass, Alberta as Cowboy Ethics. The Oracle of Ottawa will go over the rules again for all those don't follow so close. (1) Never complain, (2) Never explain, (3) Never apologize, (4) Never open our mouth unless previously cleared by the Prime Ministers Office, And (5) Always ride for the brand.

Now we know what the 'Harper Government' stands for don't we? No government at all. Rip off and hide as much as possible, as the party could end any time. Reduce all regulation so that all true Conservatives can pursue their right to fail and to hell on the effects of it on other innocent people. Who ever did not happen to vote for the correct party is left to hang.  Just like the old Duplessis era. Yes sir, the good old days are back, tabernac!

And of course all that Hayek bullshit! You too can be rich! But no, you can never retire before you die! And anyone that is going to be rich certainly does not require blue collar Unemployment Insurance! Only socialists want U.I., not up and coming rich people. And all though the 'Harper Government' can a find a job for every failed flunky dip shit of the Conservative Party, these are all arms length corporations that we have no control over, unless it is doing something that is not becoming to a Conservative!  

And the most important mantra of the 'Harper Government' government does not belong in business! The free market must be allowed to work! And all things that the Canadian people have built up that acts in the world of business for the benefit of the Canadian people, such as the Canadian Wheat Board, that in hard years will make a profit, will be taken apart and ruined, because government does not belong in business!

But the Oracle of Ottawa had a recent revelation. If the 'Harper Government' does not believe that government does not, under any circumstances,  have a place in business, why does the 'Harper Government' allow state owned Chinese corporations, that do the express bidding of the communist politburo of Bejing, operate in Canada? If the 'Harper Government' believes that government should not be in any business, then why does it do business with "governments" that seemingly have no qualms at all about entering business, not only for profit, but for strategic geo-political political action? That question was not asked once in the last session. Someone should get on with it? 

For all those that have no time to be engaged and / or read all the big words, the Oracle of Ottawa has included the secret 'Harper Government' playbook for your perusal....

'Harper Government' - Like A Monkey At Ikea

We find rhetorical situations everywhere in life, and only our imaginations can get us out of them.
Northrop Frye , The Educated Imagination, p. 58

""T'was a few nights before Christmas, and all through the House, not a creature was stirring, not even a starving Wheat Board mouse. The stockings are all ready hanging by the Speakers Chair, hung with great care, all in the hope that the bag man from CNOOC would soon be there!""

'Harper Government' Minister awaits limo...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Some days it is really good to get up and chase the 'Harper Government' like rats across the frozen tundra. Today's Question Period was a real barn burner. One of the best of the year, so far. And it looks like Chris Charlton of the NDP is going to win the analogy of the year, when she compared the actions of the 'Harper Government' to a monkey lost at Ikea. The place went nuts! And the Oracle of Ottawa noticed that the Chrome Domed Gris himself showed signs of sweat breaking through his do-me make-up, and his pity-fuck gray lipstick actually started to smudge! Oh yes, dear reader, the wave of shit is starting to break over the 'Harper Government', as the Oracle of Ottawa predicted.

The main hot points were the secret conditions of the CNOOC deal that was approved on Friday last. Well it seems they are a secret! But the Oracle of Ottawa has figured some of them out. The first rule is that there will be no more competition. So that is why the rules are changed as announced  at the press conference Friday last. 

It also seems that the fighter planes that we had a signed deal for, was not real, and although all the bullshit has run up a cost of millions of dollars, the 'Harper Government' still hasn't spent one cent on any airplanes! Yes dear reader, the 'Harper Government' looks like a monkey lost at Ikea.... 

What are the secret agreements? The Chinese can send all the indentured coolies they can find?

Elizabeth May - Bitch Slaps The 'Harper Government'

The supremacy of the verbal over the monumental has something about it of the supremacy of life over death.
Northrop Frye, The Great Code, p. 200

As frequent flyers of this blog already know, the Oracle of Ottawa is a great fan of Elizabeth May, the party of one, representing all the Green Party of Canada, so far... In a posting just before the last Canadian federal election the Oracle of Ottawa advised the people of Elizabeth Mays riding that there could be no better vote than for Elizabeth May. These people were pretty smart and took the Oracle of Ottawa's advice.

Elizabeth May - Party of One...

I have included a link to the great woman's article on Wikipedia, so that you could fill in the back ground. This is a blog, not War and Peace, after all...It is quiet safe to say, right out loud, that there is more knowledge between the ears of Elizabeth May than in all of the 'Harper Government' cabinet!

It was the Wednesday Question Period, and Liz, as one of the "other parties", got in a Members Statement, and it was a sneak in statement, but you only get sixty seconds, and no better use of sixty seconds in all of Canadian history was so well used. As the Oracle of Ottawa has feared and predicted, we have been sold down the Yellow River, so to speak, by the 'Harper Government' for a mere thirty pieces of silver. Yes, dear reader, the Canada - China Investment Treaty will leave Canada worse off then we ever were as a colony of the British Empire!  As a matter of fact you may as well call Canada the Gold Mountain or the most Western province of China!

It is quiet clear that when this "treaty" is enforced we in Canada will be essentially a colony of Communist China! You just can't make this stuff up. But it invokes many other dangers. The most important being that the Americans to our immediate south, may not look favorably upon a communist state setting up shop, so to speak, on the door step of the United States of America. Do you remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?  The Oracle of Ottawa has warned before in an earlier posting, that it was and is his greatest fear that the Americans will invade Canada, and if the 'Harper Government' is not stopped this is what will happen. The United States  simply will not tolerate a compromised government of even an ally to endanger the American people. 

 Elizabeth May - Party of One!

'Harper Government' - Who Are We?

Whom reason hath equaled, force hath made supream
Above his equals.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I, Lines 248-249

Much to the amazement of the Oracle of Ottawa, it seems that the 'Harper Government' is defying its allies and what little common sense it ever had, to do up a deal with Huawei, the great spy telecom of China's Politburo. The Oracle of Ottawa wonders, what could be worse? To be trapped and bribed by a very nasty foreign power, or to have an American executive order for your termination-with extreme prejudice- outstanding? Our neighbors to the  south don't take sass very well at any time. But when that sass involves and possibly endangers our whole security establishment around the world, well Bubbha, I would be keeping a close eye in the rear view mirror...

Wired for sound?

 And yes, the Oracle of Ottawa knows that the President can no longer sign an executive order for a you-know what, anymore... But that doesn't mean he can't sign an executive order to get some other foreign power to do it. (Hint: Oy vey...)  Politics is the art of the possible, or so the Oracle of Ottawa has always been told. With a mere nine seat majority in an elected House of over 350 seats, a few sudden and strangely coincidental examples of sudden demises would hardly be seen as suspicious, would they?

Why, thank you very much...

Save A Woman - TAX THE DOWRY

The sociological truism is that a social order is shored up by its legitimations, which provide the defenses against it's despisers. 
Daniel Bell, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, p. xxvii

It is not news to the Oracle of Ottawa that there is sex-selective abortion going on in Canada. Even out and about in Ottawa, the Oracle of Ottawa sees this all the time. Mostly as per news reports, it is those swarthy, swarmy, greasy East Indians with the peasant Chinese pulling a real close second. Now one living in Canada doesn't really give a rats fuck what goes on in India and China. But what goes on in Canada when this barbaric, feudalistic crap starts taking hold, does matter to me. First of all, we don't want to lose that big and rich European Union tourist dollar and all of our other high end European business! First things first. And if this barbaric shit continues, Canada will lose spots on the next Human Development Index!

Make the Woman valuable...

Every time the Oracle of Ottawa is out and about in his hood, and he chances to spy a banty strutting packie, that is pushing around his infant son, that gives me that look; "can you squeeze off a son like this sahib?" I feel like grabbing that packie piece of shit by the scruff of the neck, look him straight in the eyes and tell him the truth! Hey Ramjam my Navy bitch's aborted more boy childs then you will ever have in a wack of life times alive! Which is true. The Oracle of Ottawa is a real he-man... Ya right... But rather I say to myself; "Ya but, who is your brat going to marry?"...you macho piece of insect shit!

The Oracle of Ottawa is not just one to complain profanely, although, Lord knows, I truly do enjoy it! But as per usual and as per always, I have and will offer a solution! Now this solution can be implemented right away in Canada and in India and in China. Make the woman valuable. Tax the dowry as income! (to the husband...) And I mean at a very high rate, so high that it would just be better to act like the white people and forget all about it. Plus we could pay off the operating deficit and probably the national debt! Woo Hoo!

In Canada we could go a few more steps, since we have a Constitution and the Charter of Rights, I could see the Supreme Court of Canada outlawing dowry on the grounds of discrimination! See sections 7, 8, 12, 13, 26, and finally 28. Oh yes! It will fly! The Oracle of Ottawa has a real feel for these things. perhaps the Liberal Party of Canada could have included this as Liberal policy right up there with the legalization of cannabis? Geez, you guys just keep missing all the easy ones, don't ya?

It is the 21st century! Can you believe that this goes on in a democracy anywhere in the world? Can you believe that this goes on in Canada!??

Air Canada Strike - Really Starting to Smell

There is arguably something wrong with a method of persuasion that cannot pass the test of publicity.
Randal Marlin, Propaganda & The Ethics of Persuasion, p. 166

Once upon a time in this country, for a Minister of Labour to refer to the Canada Industrial Relations Board was a last resort. It was only invoked by the Minister when everything else had failed and the situation was on the verge of escaping control that would have an adverse affect on the security and economy of the nation. This happened in the past on things such as rail unions and longshoreman unions that could really shut down the whole country! Clearly with this recent Air Canada pending strike this is not the case! For a Minister of Labour to go to the CIRB for any other matter was and is tantamount to screaming out loud "I am a Shit Poor excuse for a Minister of Labour!" "I am in so over my head, that I just don't have a clue where to begin or end!" And it is clear that is the case with the present Minister of Labour Lisa Raitt!

Lisa Raitt - Much thinner now....

You would think that someone who articled in the freak'in Middle Temple in London England, the veritable seat of the Common Law as we know it and claims to have specialized in arbitration, no less, would be able to call the two parties to her office and settle this in 20 minutes! Air Canada no longer has a monopoly over air transport in Canada. Canada is an "open skies" area. The right wing interpretation of economics states that the "invisible hand" will make everything all right. The claim that a strike at Air Canada will bring down the Canadian economy is a barefaced lie! There are a multitude of choices to be had.

Again it is another demonstration of the 'Harper Government' interpretation of the invisible hand and the philosophy of a hands off economy. You see, they interpret it differently. The invisible hand is only for the pigs in suits i.e. the managers, if a bunch of working people collude together in a legal trade union, the 'Harper Government' blue suited fat pigs will cut your hands off!! This is the demonstrated interpretation of the 'Harper Government' hands off economy!

With Lisa Raitt as Labour Minister - Wait for it!!

The Oracle of Ottawa is old enough to remember when being a stewardess for Air Canada was the poshest job in the whole wide world! Many of these women forsake married life, children, true love and so much more to serve the brand. When I saw those pictures on the CBC National of Air Canada stewardesses collapsed in a coma in an airport, like abandoned dregs of some Chinese people smuggler, I was enraged! They had probably been up for over thirty hours and are still trying to get the overtime hours and the expense money that they will never see.

I put this down to one Duncan Dee, the creeping Jesus, that is one generation out of a rice paddie and an honours  graduate of the Peoples Republic of China Politburo School of Management! And that story of the "gunman" that drove to his Ottawa house, showing a private security guard a hand gun!! What a crock of shit! The rumour is that guy came from the Peoples Republic of China Embassy employee compound! They were backing up one of their own, must not lose face in front of the world! Plus it was another easy chit on the 'Harper Government' to be cashed for future consideration at some future date... Globalization, ain't it grand?

Sid Ryan - Actually knows what he is talking about! This is so on.....

(Why is Sid Ryans Wikipedia article over twice as big as Lisa Raitts??, Oh My, Out classed by a blue collar type!!)

On The Peasants Republic Of China

Will a man rob God?
Malachi, Chapter 3, Verse 8, Line 1, (NKJV)

Well, She Wrong is long gone. According to the Globe & Mail she bailed to a Chinese aircraft in the dead of night sometime last Tuesday. Back to visit her "husband" (i.e. controller) for a debrief, or rather a vacation...If the Canadian public only knew how far up the Conservatives colon these peasants really are there would be people in the streets. And no doubt sometime in the near future there will be. The Oracle of Ottawa can assure his dear readers that this will keep going off ever louder and more intense until the back benchers unaffected by the "ricer" malady start crossing the floor to sit with the Liberals and the NDP!

She Wrong - Pulling cultural rehab...

All is not going to unfold as planned by the Prime Ministers Office, believe me! There is going to be that very embarrassing revelation of the height of that China town "gateway" when it is discovered that it is slightly higher than the Canadian War Memorial! Someone did take the time to measure, didn't they? Which bungling minister allowed this to happen? Oh my! Really? Then there will be no doubt some sharp little NDP bunny that will actually do the research into the International Law of the implications of said monstrosity gate way. If you have your text of Grotius handy you might want to start flipping through it...

As the Oracle of Ottawa suspected out loud in an earlier post, She Wrongs husband is back in China. And no doubt gives less than a roaches ass of what his now old lady is up to at the Golden Mountain. A a matter of fact he is probably pissed that his free time on the town as nearly single is over for a little while! That is one marriage license that we will no doubt ever get to see. What do you think?

Another wrench to soon fall in the gear box....

As the Oracle of Ottawa has lamented in past posts, he is constantly miffed by all the bullshit in the media that China is going to rule the world! The Shen Yun thingies are at my local mall again, flogging me this show which I find really annoying. If it was so good, they wouldn't have to give the tickets away in malls! I still believe that it is all a PRC cultural propaganda ploy. It is in reality a total fail and a royal waste of every ones time.Perhaps one should read the old fashioned Chinese warriors for some understanding of how the future will soon unfold...

The actual reality in mainland peasant ville is that the old guard party members can hardly keep there Depends dry. Reports from the Middle East have them in an utter panic. That nightmare of the peasants rising up and hanging said old party hacks off of light standards in the street is frequently recurring...Picture an old Chinese guy driving on the Freeway for the first time! Yes that is pretty dangerous.

The 'Harper Government' Goes Dim Some

It began in images and it ended in symbolism.
B. W. Powe, Mystic Trudeau - The Fire And The Rose, p. 160

It was all over before the "user" pressed "Send-All." This situation is as ugly as watching a family of Chinese peasants eating noodles with sticks in their kitchen! We can all surmise with confidence exceeding 95%, nineteen times out of twenty, that that nice Richard Fadden man was not blowing smoke from his bung hole after all! The only thing that has the Oracle of Ottawa in a tizzy is that ole Bob Dechert went for such an ugly mutt! But the Oracle of Ottawa knows that all the prime Chinese ass is being dedicated to the very important Ottawa subway contract! If you have anything to do with that, you can get a shot at the prime booty...other wise you will have to wait your turn for well, more homely booty...

Who the Hell is really driving??

Mr. Dechert, according to the Globe & Mail Saturday September 10, 2011, met the said homely peasant, Shi Rong (She Wrong...) while doing "Chinese media-language communications(?)" Can you imagine the questions at the Senate Hearing into the matter? Mr. Dechert, did you discover that there is a Chinese character for the letter "Y" in the Chinese language, and further more, did you eat of the fruit there of?

These Chinese are sooo twisted...Just like Tories!

Meanwhile at home, poor Ruth is practicing the cheek puff-up, but Bob declares that it just isn't the same.. But Ruth responds that She Wrong doesn't have to do it with a PVC gas mask on with hand-cuffs... Fair enough!! No doubt legal advice is being sought for those aggrieved. The only time the Oracle of Ottawa signed a letter or E-mail; Love The Oracle of Ottawa, I was most certainly doing the bitch!! And the pathology of Ole Bob getting off on the cheek puff up thing smacks of sentinent asphyxia issues... But what do expect from Tories?

Again, I say this man is super right! And this recent incident proves it to this 'umble blogger! My tax dollars well spent! Now in closing...do really think She Wrongs ex-husband hacked her e-mail account? He is no doubt back in China with a head full of three penis wine and a teenager in brides maid dress, relieved  never to have to gaze upon the homely visage of She Wrong ever again.  The Oracle of Ottawa strongly suspects that CSIS has many strange and frightening ways to say; "Can You Hear Me Now??" Tory back benchers should take note...

Worried About China? - Forget About It!

Marriage is encouraged in China, not by the profitableness of children, but by the liberty of destroying them. 
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter VIII, p. 87,


Even the most uninformed student of International Relations  has a pretty firm grasp of the problems that China faces at this moment, in this present day. Lets go over a few of them. The first and most dangerous is the ever increasing gap between the rich and the poor. The second is the soon to come demographic melt-down due to the results of the "one child" policy and the Chinese macho, peasant, penchant for the ego hard-on of having to have a male heir.This moronical thinking has resulted in an estimated group of excess young men not un-adjacent in size to about 42 million souls! Now there are not 42 million free women to be imported to China for love or money! Let alone 42 million Chinese women. The third problem, and this one really is lurking dark and low in the background, the total lack of countervailing power inside the mechanics of the essentially communist state. But as I will prove, this the least of China's problems...

China, just a stone tiger...

If you are an interested China watcher, you would really like the last Charlie Rose interview with Henry Kissinger, on the occasion of the release of his latest book, (and hopefully his last book), on China. Now my usual opinion of old Henry is that he is nothing but a bloody toff! Did you ever read any of his books? The babble is elegant and goes on and on, but soon you are like that old lady in the burger commercial; Wheres the beef! Well the Oracle of Ottawa was quite surprised that after nearly a million written words old Henry has truly hit it out of the park! Which I guess is proof that if you live damn near a hundred years even Henry will have one good idea or realization. Somewhere in that interview, Henry states the great discovery of why we just don't, in the long run, have to really worry about China. In the great western democracies any one can be a citizen. For example a black, white, brown, red or yellow human being can be a citizen of the United States. But at the end of the day only a Chinese can be a citizen of China! The same thing is true about Japan and most of the other Asian states, isn't it? You have to praise Henry Kissinger on that one, a brilliant realization.

Canada - China Friendship Society Meeting?

Now to the meat dear reader! The Oracle of Ottawa loves to do his own thinking. And when teamed up with a self managed brokerage account, and a penchant for picking stocks, the Oracle of Ottawa has done mighty well for himself. To achieve clarity and depth, to see where and what other people can't, you must get right down to the basic philosophical axioms that drive a civilization. Now what is the underlying driving philosophical force in China and the Western World? In China the basic driver is the social philosophy of Confucius. Basically this is built on family loyalty and social stability in government. Let the Oracle of Ottawa translate that into modern English: Nepotism and Corruption! Now Western Civilization is based essentially at the end of the day, on the Classical Dialectic. This is the method of the classical Greeks, such as Socrates as recorded by Plato. The system is based on thesis, antithesis, synthesis. That is, one party presents an argument the other party presents his argument and this is discussed at length, with the hope of reaching a new piece of knowledge. Now the greatest thing about this dandy algorithm is not its age and shine in our history but rather its total flexibility! It also works very well indeed inside the head of one person, and the starting bits can be taken from anywhere in time, or one from different times. Think of an infinite tree graph. of the Cantor variety. China doesn't stand a chance...

Modern China in microcosm, this is all we are essentially up against, do you get it?

Yo! Girlfriend! Where's the Cheque?

This work, laborious as it may appear, has been to me a labour of love, an unfailing source of solace and satisfaction.

Well, I am sure you know by now that the Oracleofottawa is a big Wikipedia freak. Every now and then I check out the article of my home town. Just to see how awesomely lucky I have been in this incarnation of the cosmic ovarian lottery. I have been most fortunate indeed! And a lot of the time, now, as I advance in years, I feel quite guilty that I haven't done enough to justify my Creators trust. So I feel compelled that in some small way, everyday, I will make the world a better place. It is a Mantra that I made up all by myself and it is very powerful indeed. And, no, I did not register it as a Trade Mark. So, by all means, give it a try!

Centre Block, Ottawa, Canada

 According to Wikipedia, Ottawa had the second highest quality of life of any city in the Americas, 
and 14th highest in the world according to the "Mercer Human Resource Consulting Quality of Living Survey".  I figure we could be in the top five if we had more competence on the ground.  A lot of my disposable income in the form of taxes has gone into this achievement. And in my humble opinion not damn near enough is taxed in Canada! At the end of the day - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!- That's it and that's all....

Now I was much surprised that a "sister city" of Ottawa is Beijing China! How the fuck did that happen? And how much are the Burgers of the City of Ottawa getting each year from the likes of Beijing for the basking in the softening glow that the reputation of the City of Ottawa provides? Maybe Gentleman Jim can bring this up with a certain high Chinese functionary at the next meeting of the Canada-China Friendship Association? (See earlier posting...) I think you should bring this up with your councilor at the next fart catching and arse smelling meet and greet. No?

"Freedomlude",  Beijing, China, June 05,1989

 But perhaps it is an error in the article? The Burgers of Ottawa surely cant be as naive as this? Again, ask the question of the good Citizen; What Is In This For Me? I figure if the chinese are not paying at least twelve million a year, we put them up for "adoption"!

May I suggest as a Sister City; say, Bergen Norway, Edinburgh Scotland, St. Petersburg Russia, Paris France, Washington  District of Columbia, anything but the above.....

Memo from The Society Desk

It's amazing how much you can get away with if you don't go out of your way to cause trouble...
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway, Letter to Dale, July 06, 1976, p. 628

Well it started out like any other day. Saint Valentines Day is coming and my " significant other "  being very French expects a trip out for dinner. And she also expects at least a card, even if it is hand made with Crayolla crayons! After a nearly quarter century, you learn not to argue!  To beat the insane rush of the actual day I have found over the years that the day before is perfectly acceptable. (Sunday February 13 2011)  So it was off to the Mandarin Restaurant on 1137 Ogilvie Road. One of the best Chinese eatery's in the City of Ottawa. The parking lot was empty when we arrived. Most excellent! I am a genius! We were seated, and it was the usual crowd mix.

The gift of Globalization....

Coffee was quick to come, and the order was in. Ah, a nice quiet evening of most excellent eating.... Then they started coming! (17:45) A half dozen to a dozen at a time! Damn! A bus load! The Chinese Lutherans for Jesus! It really screws up the kitchen. and the rice quality can be affected as they water it down if they see they are, or may possibly run out. Damn I hate that!

I asked the waitress what the hell was going on? She replied; " private function in dining room, Canada - China Friendship Society". Then it all started getting really weird! There were the Gajun old white guys in there Imperial Dragon silk shirts! Then the Chinese guys dressed like characters in a Chinese Opera! Then when the comely Chinese honey's in the long silk faux imperial gowns with the side slit up to their arse I figured something really weird is on here! Complete with do-me heels, oozing whatever...complete with huggies! The old gajuns with advanced ricer obsession were coming back for seconds and thirds! There is nothing as disgusting to watch as a an old gajun with advanced ricer obsession! Like a head on an ether binge....

Hug me again, one more time!

Then just as I thought I was going to be consumed by the vortex of the contemporary Canadian Dream, the exhaust fan gave out in the kitchen! Filling the place with invisible  Imperial Royal Duck smoke! They caught it in time.. And the Haz-mat unit was not called...

Just when I thought this couldn't get any weirder, in walks Gentleman Jim Watson !? Then outcomes this simply stunning true petite honey in the most bitching red silk outfit I have ever seen (so far...). She assumed station, I mean never more than nine feet away like a magnet! Then I realized that there were a whole bunch of minor notables, and a great selection of fart catching want-to-bees. The optics of all this was not good. Where was the old style media? Where was this elected officials entourage? But who was that official looking Chinese guy in the dining room? Complete with the big haired protocol thingy... Some what familiar looking. I had a hunch but I had to wait till I got home to check it out...  

Next!

Then came the white rich middle aged women, way over dressed and trying way too hard! That is pathetic to see also folks... Meanwhile at a table near mine were the classic pimp and Ho combination... all Chinese ... Hmmm.... Then the Bar Haven "want a be" set came in their nike running shoes and Blackberry's I guess hoping for crumbs of business off of the Great Yellow Table.... (Bar Haven types couldn't find China on a map with a tutor!)

My fortune cookie was really different; "You may attend a party where strange customs prevail" No shit!

Latter arriving at home I checked Google and identified the very official Chinese guy...Are you sitting down? Zhang Junsai, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Canada! Although all Chinese look the same to me, the tier 1 guys sort of really stand out....Of course I could be totally mistaken and the victim of incredible coincidences...of likenesses...Ya right, that's it....

After what I may have witnessed tonight, I have a much greater respect for this man. Perhaps you should to!
Richard Fadden must have balls as big as bridge nuts! What guts!
