Harper Campaign - Not Exactly On Fire

That which cannot be conceived through anything else must be conceived through itself.
Spinoza,  Ethics, Part I, Axiom II.

One thing that the Oracle of Ottawa has learned over his many seasoned years of existence is that you should under no circumstances play ugly power games with people that you think are much less powerful then yourself. Sooner or later you are sure to run into someone with a bit more depth and reserve than you could have ever possibly conceived.

A bubbly Stephen Harper with enthused supporters...

We all remember very well that very nasty set up of Minister Peter what his name, when one of Harper's minions forced him to catch a commandeered Canadian Forces search and rescue helicopter to be a at a certain government event on time, and then reported it secretly to the press to watch the Minister twist in the wind. No doubt from and under the orders of the 'Boss'.

A Nigel Wright check...

Then along came Nigel S. Wright. Ray and the 'Boss' thought that the Senator Mike Duffy appointment/ set up, would surely smear up the young boy wonder Nigel... Talk about a fatal error! Everyone knew that Nigel was loaded. No old lady, and going to church a lot, is very conducive to a very high income retention rate. He just cut the check out of pocket, mere chump change used to silence the chumps, but at the same time it was all very much like planting a claymore mine  as you retreat, to have it go off by remote control long after you are gone. Again the Oracle of Ottawa marvels at the cold calculating steel cleverness of the Nigel. Damn that was good and it looks intentional.
 

 Meanwhile on Day Fifteen of the 2015 Canadian Federal Election Campaign the Oracle of Ottawa can help but notice how the 'Harper Government' campaign is truly starting to resemble the last and very last Tim Hudak campaign. The Oracle has included a picture of the 'Boss' and all his enthused prisoners, or rather supporters.  The press questions are also getting pretty awkward also, especially the one that asks the 'Boss' why he did not fire Ray? What a hoot! Did J. Edgar ever fire Clyde Tolson? Maybe they should ask Mrs. Harper what she thinks?

'Harper Government' - Fading Fast?

Whatsoever is, is in God
Spinoza, Ethics, Part 1, Proposition XXIX, Proof.

It is Day Fourteen of the Canadian 2015 Federal General Election campaign. The Oracle of Ottawa was hoping to post day by day, but the revelations down at the Elgin Street Courthouse of the Senator Mike Duffy trial provided by Nigel S. Wright under the gentle supportive coaxing of Donald Bayne provided so much overwhelming information that the Oracle of Ottawa had to take a twenty four hour sabbatical.

no caption required...

 As the Oracle of Ottawa conjectured right at the time of the breaking of the Senate Scandal, Senator Mike Duffy was used, abused and discarded. This was all done on purpose to create a constitutional scandal or 'crisis' whereby Steve Harper would try to get through the expulsion of the Senate and be one more step closer to the dreamed of Bild, if you follow the Oracles drift.

It has all gone so horribly wrong, hasn't it? Although we are only getting started into the revelations, Fridays testimony has unearthed some rather earth shaking implications that go so far to explaining the perverse S&M patterns of the 'Harper Government' over the last ten years. The most creepy was the repeated mentioning of the name Ray Novak. And the story early Saturday morning on CTV News World of Ray's apartment over the garage at 24 Sussex Drive, so he could be close to the 'Boss', had my significant other completely grossed out. And it seems that this has been going on for ever so long. There will no doubt be more to follow Monday coming. The Oracle of Ottawa certainly hopes that his literary constitution can stand the strain.

The included video for this post contains another interesting snack for thought, and that is that the whole right wing wrecking crew machine of the 'Harper Government' have long ago lost the ability to employ the standard concepts of ethics at any level, the whole lot is totally amoral. They can't even tell right from wrong anymore, and they couldn't care less who knows it or their opinion of it. And it seems that the old Jimmy Moore purity pledge is no longer in force at the CBC. Rex Murphy is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile on the campaign trail, the Harper events look like a media roundup in a Soviet gulag. Even the spawn has been trotted out like dead Kennedy's in a near last ditch hope to stop the free fall. You can tell the blue collar props of the Harper media events are not very enthused to say the very least. Especially when you compare them to the very lively and electric events of Justin Trudeau. The Conservative War Room is considering already to go to Defcon 3, or as they say on Nato communication circuits, level yellow....
