The Syrian Crisis Silver Lining

Naked power wielding can be neither transactional nor transforming, only leadership can be.
James MacGregor Burns, Leadership, p.20

At the time of this writing, the European Union's population is over 500 million people, spread through 28 member states. There has been a lot of talk of late of how it is not going to survive. How there are just too many different ethnic groups to get past their differences, not to mention the task of getting past the past. The Oracle of Ottawa has never put too much weight on that kind of defeatist talk. Due to its radical make up and brilliant framework, the European Union is probably the strongest group of nation states in the world today since the Roman Empire.
 

The European Union proves its 'metal'...

 The Oracles early beliefs got an immeasurable lift this morning while watching his local cable news channel. The first reports that Germany had thrown open the doors to the influx of Syrian refugees greatly made the Oracles day. I even have a theory how it may have happened behind the scenes. Europe is a very old place. There exist within it many ancient and noble families of nearly unimaginable lineage. Many of them know that they have had many relatives that went on the N'th Crusade at some time in the Middle Ages, never to return. Then it dawned on someone, that the descendants of their long lost relatives were now at their very gates. Then the breaker tripped.

However it came to happen, the Oracle of Ottawa wishes to extend his most heartfelt congratulations to the parties involved. It is the middle of the Labour Day weekend here in Canada. We are in the middle of a very bitter and ugly Federal General Election. For the last ten years we have been suffering under a neo-con wack ball right wing revolution in the form of the 'Harper Government'. Since the opening of the gates in Europe this morning the polls and the opinion surveys have put the 'Harper Government' in deep third place from first place. The people are in the streets in Canada, from one end of it to another. And that is something that hardly ever happens.

Who ever made the decision to throw open the gates, must know that the decision will have far reaching positive consequences here in Canada and in turn, later on for the European Union. It is certainly going to help a nice young man by the name of Justin Trudeau become Prime Minister of Canada on October 19th, 2015. The EU will finally be able to deal with someone with more than half a brain when it comes to the weighty matters of Canada - EU affairs. Discourse and engagement will be returned, hopefully along with Canada's past reputation. And he promised to fast track the influx of Syrian refugees into Canada starting on day one, to the tune 25,000 in the first year, plus the fast tracking of the community private sponsorships which will probably add up to way more than 25,000.
 

 Hell, one hundred thousand Syrians spread across Canada wouldn't even be noticed. Along with the infinite water, snow, rocks and trees, we have tons of open room. Then I figure that the British Commonwealth nation members will all get on the band wagon, in five ten years we will be wondering what all the fuss was originally about... As the Oracle of Ottawa wraps up this small missive he is listening to Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 on You-Tube, the Karajan recording of course, and he knows with complete certainty that their is nothing that Western Civilization cannot 'sort'.  

'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....

The Vindication Of Senator Mike Duffy

"and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile."
Matthew 5:41, NRSV - Augmented Third Study Edition.

Day Twelve of the 2015 Canadian Federal Election continues with the second day of the testimony of Nigel S. Wright at the fraudulent fraud trial of Senator Mike Duffy. It is rapidly becoming apparent to this humble blogger that the mighty Duffster will indeed live to sit in the Senate another day, and not just one day but the whole bunch until he is 75 years old and must retire.

Senator Duffy

The gist of the testimony seems to be that Nigel came to the conclusion that the mighty Duffster, upon a close perusal of the rules indeed committed no actual offense. But to solve the problem with the skidmarks of the Conservative Party Purity Committee out in Duck's Ass Alberta Nigel just cut the chump change check out of his own pocket to finally shut every one up.

 

 He also knew that Senator Mike Duffy would be put under the bus, and this was very unpopular with most of the seasoned hands, and Nigel himself.  This could have been the reason that Nigel cut the check. It was a stealth move that would allow revenge on the perfidy of the evil 'Harper Government' down the road right around election time, which is just what is indeed happening. That Nigel is damn clever. 

It is clear even more clear now that Senator Mike Duffy was a manufactured 'crisis' from beginning to end. He was to create the final Senate 'crisis' that would be the footing of the 'Harper Government' to diddle with the Canadian Constitution. But alas due to the protective curse of D'Arcy McGee, Canada has and will survive another day...

Where Is The Monument To The Victims Of Capitalism?

I'm beginning to weary of fruitlessly championing the truth, and sometimes I am quite unhinged by it.
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Part 1, Section Thirty Two, Constance Garnett Translation.

It doesn't happen often in Ottawa that an issue arises where every level of government rises up in an uproar, but that is exactly what happened when the 'Harper Government' announced the building of the Victims of Communism monument, at a site that was reserved for the new Supreme Court Building, located at the most prime location in downtown Ottawa. This was no doubt done to celebrate the 'Harper Government's many successes pleading before this august body.

 

proposed victims of communism monument...

The local burg(h)ers of Ottawa would be even more alarmed if they did their research a little deeper and discovered that the said monument stands to raise a ton of cash far in excess of its initial costs. There has been no report from the 'Harper Government' where the said hoped for excesses are going to go.. As always in Ottawa if there is even the semblance of smoke you can be utterly certain that at some point there will be fire. You see Dear Reader, if you are so inclined to celebrate the memory of a long gone "loved ones" misfortune of running into communism, you can have the loved ones name inscribed on the above mentioned monster, or rather monument, for a very small fee, not un-adjacent to one thousand dollars! Why just do the math! The sky is the limit!

 Now in Canada there has been very many social systems in vogue over the many years that Canada has been a Colony and later as a nation state. The first system that was found in use by Native Canadians was the tribal system. Then the French brought feudalism, that had a hell of a run from 1600 until well into the beginning of the 20th century! Along the way we also experimented with indentured labor and even slavery, just like in the United States! But the hands down winner was of course the best worst system of good old capitalism. And in the early days it was rabid tooth and claw, right out of Das Kapital as written by Karl Marx.

You had the lumber barons, the rail barrens, the press barons, and of course you had the mighty banking barons. And they have nearly all carried on into the kinder and gentler world of today, many of them such as say the Bank of Nova Scotia in there unbroken histories... But we never tried communism in Canada at all, not even once, that the Oracle of Ottawa is aware of. So The Oracle of Ottawa thought that it would be probably much more fitting to have a monument to The Victims Of Capitalism.  

 It as all tentative so far, but I have some basic ideas for the monuments basic design. In the center would be a huge hand cast in Pyrex Glass holding a very real steel double edge dagger! The glass hand would signify Adam Smith's Invisible Hand, but the real reality would be the 100 foot long dagger! Get it? When you play around in capitalism the invisible hand is bound to get you right in the back, even if you do every thing right...

Then, of course, we must high light the wonderful upside of capitalism in its unregulated glory, just like the 'Harper Government' pushes. How about this? We would have cast in bronze two young girls sorting medical linen waste, just like in the 19th century. Of course these children never got to be teenagers, let alone get into the ages of the double digits. Isn't the invisible hand awesome?

Then to one side we could have the tribute to the great bankers of the world. Such as that one old house in Europe that used to loan money to one country and with their underwriting fees would make a loan to the enemy of the first customer! Why, the first classic two fer! Then with the profits from the gouging interest rates of all the customers, you could sell both sides arms and create a virtuous cycle of misery and death. Yes Sir! Capitalism, how awesome is that? The 'Harper Government' should know this story very well, They are very close friends with the bankers that bought their own state in the Middle East.... 

Still They Come

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Part 1, Section Eleven. Constance Garnett Translation (of course..)

At the time of this writing, the 'umble blog has over 116,000 hits, my G+ page has 1,268,461 hits, and a new blog that I have started recently entitled The Progress Impaired Cosmologist has the awesome number of 156 hits! People are not very interested in life, the universe, and everything...

Justin Trudeau whips out his cowboy...

The last posting of Sunday October 26, 2014 left me very depressed, in that the level of public discourse had reached all time lows in Canada. And then there was the realization, later, that as I contemplated posting again, that all my original intentions at the beginning of The Economy Of Media have been realized! Sun News Network is long gone, off the air, all my favorite members of the 'Harper Government' are dead or gone back to the rocks that they crawled out from under. And it looks like the young Justin Trudeau is going to peak last, and indeed be the next Canadian Prime Minister. And of course when that happens the economy and the budget will take care of itself, just like the young Justin said.

I have spent the rest time wisely, and the Oracle of Ottawa has learned many valuable and deep things. The main one being that the writing is never over, the work is never done, and if it is, death or something worse is soon to come. As the Oracle of Ottawa sat awe struck by the news that Albertan's voted in an NDP government, and the latest announcement of the bailing of yet another high profile minion of the 'Harper Government', the Oracle of Ottawa has come to realize the utter and extreme power of the blog, and the powerful concept of the quietly planted meme. It is not about the hits, it is about who reads.

The fact of the realization of the passing of Bill C-51 certainly frightened the Oracle of Ottawa, for about five seconds, until it quickly dawned upon the Oracle of Ottawa that you can have all the laws of the Universe on the books, but if you keep cutting all the security budgets, there is at the end of the last days of the 'Harper Government' not much chance that there will be anyone left to pay me a visit..., let alone monitor my awesome missives.

There will be many interesting issues that will be brought under the close scrutiny of the Oracle of Ottawa in this next wave, stay tuned to one of the "vehicles".  

Jian Ghomeshi - The Real Reason...

Those who can give justice are owed justice.
John Rawls, A Theory Of Justice, p. 510

First, right off the bat, Jian Ghomeshi is no Peter Gzowski, and Q certainly is not Morningside. But the Oracle of Ottawa has certainly to give the young Jian an A++ for even have the guts and balls to even try to follow in such large footsteps. Imagine the Oracles amazement at the first sound of the news on Friday morning, thereabouts, that the young Jian was taking "time off for personal issues"! In about one nano-second the Oracle of Ottawa's bullshit alarm went off, in warning mode. Perhaps the youngster was a little shell shocked from all the events in Canada in the last week, in preparation of the 'Harper Government' self-coup, which will be started in earnest in the week coming.

Jian Ghomeshi (right)

 It was while the Oracle of Ottawa was Sunday driving up to the Ottawa Valley from Ottawa that he heard on the 4:00 p.m. CBC Radio 1 news, just before Cross Country Checkup, that Jian was no longer with the CBC. That the CBC had come into "certain information" whereby they could no longer have Jian about the premises of the CBC. Sound familiar? It seems that the Prime Ministers Office is firing CBC on-air personalities just like certain female 'Harper Government' cabinet Ministers!

Now of course the Oracle of Ottawa's bull shit alarm was sounding full blast in lock-on mode! Upon return from the Oracles appointed Sunday rounds, he was determined to get to the real cause of this cultural genocide, and to share the truth with his worldwide audience of Dear Readers, as a social service of course.  A search here, a search there, it will not be an impossible task.

Well Dear Readers the Oracle of Ottawa is happy to report that he is virtually certain that he has located the smoking gun, so to speak, that sealed the young Jian's fate. It did not take very long at all. And it had nothing to do with the introductory essay on the events of the Ottawa Shootings of Wednesday past, which was aired on Thursday last, although the Oracle of Ottawa could certainly detect the certain left of center bias in the young Jians words.
 

 No Dear Readers, it was another segment of the show that aired the same day. It was in interview with the young Justin Trudeau, Canada's next Prime Minister, that must have ignited a very large mushroom cloud in the Prime Ministers Office. The Oracle of Ottawa has secured a copy and it is included above this humble paragraph. The major offense occurs at 2:15 of the interview whereby Jian mentions that the CBC is the worst funded public broadcaster in the world! Case solved! There are other bits where Justin and Jian take turns trashing Jimmy Moore. You would probably enjoy watching the whole clip at least twice. The Oracle did.

On the 6:00 p.m. CBC Radio 1 news, it has been revealed that Jian has filed suit for a small amount of money not un-adjacent to the amount of fifty million dollars!! And of course, being a union member, has also filed a labour law grievance, in full knowledge that as a union member, he is entitled to his entitlements. The Oracle of Ottawa can find no fault.

For my world wide Dear Readers, the Oracle of Ottawa has also included a video of Jian in another life before he became a cultural pillar of Canada. Yes, he was the handsome, sexy, although vertically challenged, front man of the pop group Moxy Fruvous! Now as you listen carefully to the lyrics, you will quickly realize that the message is not conducive to Conservative Party of Canada's code of Family Values  and Conservative Purity as dictated by the Duck's Ass, Alberta Base Commission.      

 In closing the Oracle of Ottawa must advise his Dear Readers not to pine nor fret for the young Jian. While he was a Canadian pop star, he only sold about 500,000 albums in Canada and the United States. The royalty checks will certainly more than cover the paltry cost of a year long sabbatical, plus meals and guitar strings. Next year at this time, at the latest, Jian will be reinstated by Prime Minister Trudeau. As to the fate of Peter Mansbridge and Rex Murphy, all the Oracle can say is: Book your mover now...  

Brazil - Couldn't Even Afford The Roof

Direct approaches make a distinction between means and ends that often does not exist in reality.
John Kay, Obliquity, p. 50

You know the Brazil 2014 World Cup of soccer is going to be an utter train wreck when somebody in Canada even realizes it from watching the old fashioned vulgar TV media. Billions of dollars have been poured down the proverbial shit hole. The Oracle of Ottawa really thought that story on the stadium built up the Amazon River was especially a laugher. It ought to be a hoot watching all the pussy Euro types drop dead one by one, as the weeks progress. And even someone called jay low, who ever that is, has now refused to show up! The omens are really adding up. 

No soccer for paupers?

And the overall look of the structural rigidity of said stadiums, as far as the Oracle of Ottawa is concerned, look to be somewhat shakey, to say the least. But the Oracle will concede that watching the video on You-Tube of one of them collapsing with a sell out house will certainly be great summer entertainment. Seeing as there is no war scheduled this summer in the sand spit Middle East. You have to take what you can get in the off season.

The main broadcaster of the World Cup in Canada is the poor old CBC, Canada's State Broadcaster. The Oracle of Ottawa can only wonder what the hell they were on or what they were thinking. God only knows how many millions of scarce cultural resources were pissed away to secure the transmission rights. The Oracle of Ottawa figures that at least 10,000 people in Canada, a country of over 35 million people, will be watching at one time. Soccer sure as hell can't compete in the ratings when the almighty Blue Jays are on a hell of a roll this season. Why anyone would want to watch soccer when they can easily watch Major League Baseball is an utter mystery to the Oracle of Ottawa. 

The latest information at the time of this writing states that most all the essential services will be out on strike before the first tip off. That will be something to check out the progress of between innings as I watch my daily baseball game or two or maybe even three. The parts where the locals rob and kidnap the foreigners at will ought to be also most amusing. Not to mention all the weird STD's that will be transmitted back to the developed world after the said great event.  

If you need any more proof that soccer is a corrupt, fixed game with a totally corrupt and out of control board of governance, I guess you will be tuning in, to watch the paint dry. What really makes the Oracle of Ottawa wonder late into the night is why an up and coming country like Brazil would even want the hassle and outsized risk and expense of holding such a train wreck, when they so many other pressing problems on their own patch. Of course the answer to that is easy. Every one has gotten greased. The money is secure in a daisy chain of off shore tax havens, impossible to trace, and proof of a very successful political career.  And as far as the poor and destitue are concerned, Fuck'em, there is plenty more were they came from...

Senator Mike Duffy Nukes The 'Harper Government'

As already observed, to each according to his threat advantage is not a principle of justice.
John Rawls, A Theory Of Justice, p.141

It appears iridescently ironic to the Oracle of Ottawa that the Bilderberg Group tool of globalization, that is otherwise known as the 'Harper Government', is going to be soon brought down by three Canadians that grew up in small towns. After Mike Duffy got done in the Senate yesterday, it appeared to the Oracle of Ottawa that there is no way on this Earth, in this lifetime, that the "Harper Government' is going to last another 70 days, let alone over 700 days. 

Senator Duffy nukes the 'Harper Government'

Did the Oracle of Ottawa believe what Senator Mike Duffy said? Damn right he did! Did the Oracle of Ottawa believe the bit where Mike Duffy stated that he pre-screened his expenses and that the PMO cleared them all only to stab him in the back while laughing at him? Damn right he did! Did the Oracle of Ottawa believe the part where Mike Duffy got the ambush call from that skank LeBreton, and all the others while out on vacation in P.E.I.? Every level of government in Ottawa now runs like that! Hell ya, the Senator Mike Duffy was telling the truth there also.

All in, the Senators defence in the Senate was one of the most moving speeches he heard from the Hill in many years. And Conservatives say the Senate doesn't work? It appeared to the Oracle of Ottawa that it was working just fine yesterday. And that shot by the Senator comparing the 'Harper Government' to Putins Russia was about right to the Oracle of Ottawa! The mere fact that the Senate can shake the Earth when it has to or wants to is the major reason that the 'Harper Government' no longer wants it around! Yes indeed. The Senate of Canada, the house of sober second thought worked just fine indeed. The Oracle of Ottawa also throughly enjoyed  the bits where Novak was shown and it appeared that he was ready to puke, and no doubt had already soiled his short under pants, again. The Oracle of Ottawa really enjoyed that!    

It is too bad that the Conservatives don't believe in the facts of science. They would have already figured out a while ago that if you place too many bodies under the bus, that at some point the wheels of the bus would no longer be touching the ground. But as you guessed it Dear Reader, to the Conservatives, science is just for nerds and lefties from Ontario. Meanwhile on the bus, ole Steve Harper desperately clutches the steering while moving it rapidly to and fro, leaning forward with his foot to the floor of the accelerator peddle screaming at the top of his voice " I,m driving the fuck out of this bus!". It all looks really strange to anyone who is watching from outside the now motionless motor vehicle. How crazy is that?   

2013 Throne Speech Fail

We desire to act on the natural duty to advance just arrangements.
John Rawls, A Theory Of Justice, p. 474

The day had everything. A revolt of the media when the PMO tried to stage manage a speech by the erstwhile Steve Harper of the 'Harper Government' sometime early in the morning. That was one speech that was never heard when the CBC just up and left, and everyone else followed. A very rare spectacle indeed.
This was followed up by a false flag terrorist take-down at the Prime Ministers other office on Wellington Street, that tied up all of down town Ottawa for hours. After the big Speech it was found that the briefcase size package was deemed "inert". But when your hell bent on an unrequired law and order platform setting the stage is very important.

In Canada - Only the dogs are better off...

There was much discussion all over Ottawa during many Thanksgiving dinners Sunday last on how erratic and unpredictable the minions of the 'Harper Government' are starting to act as of late. A lot like a piece of shit as it turns in an ever tightening circle just as it goes down the drain.  There was much comedy over the fact that it all must be very close to the end when the 'Harper Government', perpetual guardian of the corporate whores and the invisible hand, have all of a sudden deemed themselves the true friend of the consumer! What is officially known as the second session of the 41st Parliament, is being referred in Ottawa by its true name, the 'Harper Government's' last stand.

Just before the speech commenced, the Oracle of Ottawa was sickened by the sight of fat gloating Chinese peasants from the Communist Party of China, in the gallery of the Senate Chamber, with the snot-balls at the corners of their mouths, witnessing the the performance of there new gajun slaves, all bought and paid for. For balance there were also the token blacks and the balancing amount of Canadian Aboriginals, as contrast is very important in these days of HDTV.   

And then it started, Dave 'Vern' Johnston gave his speech in his best Dad Talk voice with the usual and intentional appalling French, just to send a signal to all the losers of the Laurentian Consensus, that he and the 'Harper Government' doesn't give a rotating fiddlers fuck about toads east of Alberta. It was the usual stuff. Solutions to problems that are essentially already solved, you can't go wrong solving problems that are already solved, can you?  All the usual thin edges of the fascist wedges were again slipped in, all too numerous to mention in this humble missive.

In every Throne Speech there is always the definitive phrase that really sums up the whole message and intention of then Government. And the Throne Speech of 2013 was no different. It all occurred at the mention of Quantos Law, where by the 'Harper Government' is going to introduce legislation to treat dogs of the pigs of the New World Order of your locked down world like humans if anything un towards happens to one of them in the course of there piggly duties. Like the insanity of the 'Harper Government', you just can't make this stuff up can you? 

Canada - Joining The Failed States?

Men will of their own accord gradually work their way out of barbarism so long as artificial measures are not deliberately adopted to keep them in it.
Immanuel Kant, What Is Enlightenment?, Kant Political Writings, p. 59

The Oracle of Ottawa thought that Canada had scrapped absolute bottom when Canada, under the auspices of the 'Harper Government', announced denunciation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. This of course put us in the auspicious company of one in relation to the world. Even though by doing this, the 'Harper Government' again literally shit in its own nest, since there are desert areas in Western Canada that were getting a lot of good out of the Convention. You would think that it would be very hard to top that. But Dear Reader you would be wrong again. There is no political party on Earth at the time of this writing that has such a natural propensity to soil itself and the once stellar reputation of Canada as does the present Conservative Party of Canada, otherwise known as the 'Harper Government'.

AK-47 - $ ka ching! $

 You would think that the 'Harper Government' would surely attempt to redeem itself in the face of its base and the World by getting behind the Arms Trade Treaty. But yet again the world and all of Canada was mortified that Canada under the leadership of the 'Harper Government' has decided that the popularity of agreeing with Russia, China, North Korea, India, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt was a much better decision.  

At the time of this writing, Canada has been greatly outclassed by the following states: Antigua and Barbuda, Costa Rica, Guyana, Iceland, Italy(!), Mexico, Nigeria(!!), and Trinidad and Tobago, who have not only signed on to the treaty, but have all ready ratified it! Even the United States of America, the greatest arms dealer on Earth, has signed on to the treaty! But not the 'Harper Government', The Lord of War. One can only imagine how much small arms the 'Harper Government' plans to peddle in the near future. One must always assist the Invisible Hand and facilitate open markets and free trade at every opportunity.

Is John Boehner Dangerous?

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... 

Al - Shabaab - New World Order Blowback?

There is no such thing as abstract truth. Truth is always concrete. 
Lenin, Two Tactics Of Social Democracy, Lenin Anthology, p. 135

Well Dear Reader, no matter where you were in this world recently, you have no doubt watched the insane footage out of Kenya. That Al-Shabaab group sure kicked ass didn't they? There is not a western company on earth at the time of this writing that could have afforded to buy the air time that Al-Shabaab got for nothing in that shopping center operation. There is really only one way to describe it all, damned efficient.

Al-Shabaab Jihad Flag

Just when the agents of the New World Order finally thought they finally have all the workers in the western world "disciplined", along comes the news that in Islamic World terror operations such as we have just witnessed in Kenya, there abounds reports that the savage crew consisted of people from the United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom!  The Oracle of Ottawa was very interested in the White Widow woman operative that is rumored to be from England!

Many people in the Islamic world are probably very perplexed at why anyone in the confines of the Babylon of Satan, otherwise known as America and Europe would leave all that wealth and their Mickey Mouse hat with their very own name sewn on, to come to the stinking hot hell hole of the Islamic World. The Oracle of Ottawa will be very happy to explain it all to his Readership as a public service of course.

All these foreign operatives that are from the West are all young and strangely enough, very well educated. But in the West, now, after the New World Order conditioning as carried out by the Conservative Parties that exist only to do the New World Orders bidding, all youngsters just starting out are expected to work for nothing, in things called unpaid internships. Or if they really want to work for money, all they have to look forward to is minimum wage at some American box store, with no hope or union card for a well paid fat and happy future.

Many of them soon reach their limit and decide that it would be much better to make something out of their lives, and if it means becoming a Martyr against the back room minions of the New World Order, so be it. The Oracle of Ottawa figures that if the worker discipline continues unabated, Al-Shabaab can soon count on even the Christians to start showing up at the training camps...  

But surely it is all a one way trip, isn't it? The Oracle of Ottawa can only console you Dear Reader that it is quiet certainly probable that all the operatives in that shopping center operation got out with the last of the trapped shoppers! They just changed clothes and faded away with the "victims". Those that were the last men standing simply paid the nearest soldier and / or cop the requisite bribe. It was Kenya after all! And did you see that Interior Minister? You could buy that guys Mom for five bucks...

Like the kids say: Pay me now, or pay me later...

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!  

Milos Raonic Loves Canada?

The most painful moments are not those we spend with uninteresting people; rather, they are those spent with uninteresting people trying hard to be interesting. 
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed Of Procrustes, p. 11

It was a Friday night in the August just passed that the Oracle of Ottawa was really looking forward to watching the Oakland Athletics at the Toronto Blue Jays in Rogers Centre. It would no doubt be very nearly sold out, that is over 40,000 people were going to be there to see the awesome low dollar team of Money Ball. (Not to mention the millions of Canadians from coast to coast that would be watching on television...) Immortalized by the great writer Micheal Lewis. The Montreal Cup tennis crap was also happening at the same time, but the Oracle of Ottawa was confident that with his cable package from Rogers Communications which has 5 Sportsnet channels, that surely they would step down and allow the baseball to be shown. Especially since Rogers Communications owns the Toronto Blue Jays!

Milos Raonic - Canadian or tax dodging fraud?

 But Dear Reader it was not to be. It was tennis on every channel, the same crap on all five channels at the same time. The Oracle of Ottawa was livid. A call was placed to Rogers and after about 15 minutes, the Oracle of Ottawa was told by something with a thick East Indian accent that "Sir, you cannot complain"!! I then asked for a number at head office with someone in programming and / or content and again the Oracle of Ottawa was told; "I am so sorry Sir, you can't complain". You can't make crap like this up. And for anyone reading this from Canada, that has Rogers for cable knows the Oracle is telling the truth.

 Canada has never been, is not now, and will never be in the future a tennis superpower. Tennis is for the 1% of the New World Order. As a rule of thumb, any sport that can be watched from a "verandah" is pretty much a wipe out in Canada. That also explains why we suck as a nation at golf, cricket and tennis. But why would Rogers cut the nose off their face and lose all that advertising revenue from MLB? Tennis is not a spectator sport. If it was, the Center Court at Wimbleton would have more than 11,000 seats wouldn't it?
And that endless flogging of this character Milos Raonic, that claims to be a Canadian, but speaks English like a country club gigolo. What is up with this insanity? The Oracle of Ottawa has decided to investigate.    

Brett Lawrie - A real Canadian sports Star!!

  The Oracle of Ottawa was just floored at all the neat stuff that he has found out. The Oracle of Ottawa has provided a link to the information. First, Milos Roanic is not a native born Canadian. (He is the spawn of economic migrants.) He was not even born in Canada, he was born in Titograd, Montenegro, formally Yugoslavia! Of which you can be sure he has a passport to. Yet Rogers sells him to us as a "real Canadian". To the Oracle of Ottawa, a real Canadian sports star at present is Brett Lawrie, who was actually born in Canada and lives in Canada as much as he can, no matter how much money he makes. 

 Second: Milos Roanic seems only to live in Canada when Rogers ponys up the money for him to pass himself off as a "Real Canadian". Otherwise he stays at his present home in Monaco! Which is a pimple of a tax haven on the arse of France.  Can you believe this avarice? How come Rogers does not tell that to the Canadian people in the endless Raonic ads? Why doesn't Rogers tell the truth and admit that Milos Raonic is simply a Canadian of convenience?

Third: Milos Roanic's siblings really do believe in Canada. That is why they have left it to return to their "home" country. 

Fourth: Mols Roanic has a hard serve! That is like a young baseball pitcher that can throw a one hundred mile an hour fast ball. Both are essentially useless, if you cannot control them.

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, .....

Fifth: Milos Raonic has earned $3,006,227 in prize money since turning pro in 2008. The Oracle of Ottawa can only say that it all has hardly been worth all the trouble, perhaps Milos should have tried baseball as a kid...

Rogers Communications - Twilight Of A Titan?

A man of parts would often be at loss without the company of fools.
Francois duc de La Rocheffoucauld, Maxims, No. 140

It is hard to believe that once upon a time in Canada Rogers Communications was one of the most loved companies in Canada. If memory serves, it always made the top 100 Canadian Employers List. If you had a tech or billing problem there was no long aggravating voice mail tree, someone actually answered the damn phone and took care of you right away. And back in the days when Ted Rogers ran it all, you hardly ever had to call.   

Ted Rogers - Spinning in his grave?

Now all telecom companies in Canada are totally despised and dreaded. Rogers doesn't seem to have any real employees any more, but rather an army of minimum wage contractors and temporary foreign workers, that know nothing about your problem and couldn't care less. But you can be sure the marketing never stops. As the price keeps creeping up on your cable package the quality of the content seems to slipping the other way in rather perfect proportion. A thousand channels and nothing on.

It was just before the last Labour Day weekend that the Oracle of Ottawa noticed that his Cisco cable box had been re-programed with what appears to be software for the new Rogers PVR, version 3.0, that can tape 8 shows at once! (Who wants that??) The Oracle of Ottawa was not amused, but there was no way you could do anything about it. There was a two hour wait time to talk to a tech rep that weekend. Which makes perfect sense. Force crap on the customer and then send all the tech reps home for the long weekend so you won't have to pay for overtime. Meanwhile, we are stuck with cable boxes that are as slow as a fat pig in thick shit.   

Meanwhile there is no baseball on due to faggot tennis, again! There is no one to call on this either. The Oracle of Ottawa tried one night recently, and was told by a thick East Indian accent, that; "Sir, you cannot complain"!! You can't make this stuff up. When my cable box was re-programed, the Oracle waited a very long time again to find out that I couldn't complain, but while I was waiting the Oracle heard that stupid PVR pitched endlessly. 

Rogers Communications has a lot of serious problems. The first and largest, is poor management. The second is that they are in too many business's that they don't know anything about, such as production and content creation. This goes equally for all the giant telco's in Canada at the time of this writing. Have you ever tried to watch the Discovery Channel lately? And where did all the baseball games go that the Oracle always used to enjoy? Note to executive suite: Yachting is not a sport!

But the lads at Rogers have a monopoly. Where else are the proles going to go? Well, would you be surprised if the Oracle of Ottawa told you Dear Reader that it is quiet possible that the whole business model of the Rogers monopoly could be shortly just a bad memory? The Oracle of Ottawa has noticed the marketing of the first HD TV wireless TV boxes by Bell at his local mall. Hmmm... a wide area network otherwise known as a WAN. No infrastructure to maintain. No large barriers to entry. How long will it be before someone simply sets up a dish and just re-brodcasts what is in the clear on the aether? The Oracle of Ottawa can see very much inexpensive choice on the very near horizon. Think about it...

The Oracle of Ottawa certainly does not own Rogers stock. And if you happen to be an owner or a manager of a very large holding in a portfolio, the Oracle of Ottawa strongly recommends that you start getting rid of it all in the very near future. With the advent of the wireless HDTV box and very many providers Rogers, Shaw, Telus, and Bell are shortly going to be Titans without a business.... Like video rentals, remember that?

Could it soon all be gone, like it never existed? Good riddance!!!

'Harper Government' - Up In Smoke?

We see parts of things, we intuit whole things.
Iris Murdoch, Metaphysics As A Guide To Morals, p. 1

It was a week of smoke here in Canada, in the deepest dog days of summer. Usually the hits to the blog drop off to nothing at this time of year, but not this year. The Oracle of Ottawa is somewhat miffed by the whole thing, as it is cutting into my deep baseball binges. But yet it was another week of discovery, the thinking about thinking project is totally out of control. Now facts and realities are revealing themselves to the Oracle of Ottawa with out any effort at all.

Lac-Megantic - Conservative Smoke...

This week, the reality of smoke reared its ugly head. The discovery that presented itself was that political ideologies create their own real, physical smoke! And of course, where there is smoke there is usually fire. It all got going when Steve Harper of the 'Harper Government' announced that the fall sitting of Parliament was going to be somewhat late this year. But what did you expect Dear Reader? Did you actually think that the scum of the 'Harper Government' would actually show up and take it like a man? Did you actually think that they would risk having to admit that they could have possibly have been wrong on  about a dozen or two beliefs?

Mini-Me Paradis...

That fire bombing of that small town in the Province of Quebec, Lac-Megantic was the stake through the heart of the Chicago School experiment of the 'Harper Government'.  And that it was the present seat of the "Harper Government's Minister of Industry, one Christian "Mini-Me" Paradis is serious proof to the Oracle of Ottawa that there really is a God. Talk about getting shagged by Doctor Evil! Why the invisible hand of unregulated tooth and claw capitalism burned so bright, that it was picked up by American Spy satellites! As the fire storm took up media time all around the world for days and days we all now know the smoke of Conservative Party of Canada ideology, don't we?

Liberal Smoke...

With the prorogation of Parliament will be the death of many of the 'Harper Government's most cherished and Canada killing bills that it ruthlessly forced through the House, damn Reason, full speed ahead. They will all die on the order paper, this is called the silver lining in your undergraduate textbooks of political science.  Most of the next session will be filled with votes of confidence, and with all the abandoned Conservatives crawling out from under the bus, like a herd of very pissed zombies, it is really going to be high entertainment.

Justin Trudeau - Cumming Soon...

Meanwhile out west in British Columbia the young next one, Justin Trudeau, was on summer vacation with the wife and kids. Then there was that press conference about legalizing cannabis at the first opportunity of the next Trudeau Liberal Government. When the Oracle of Ottawa saw the footage on the local vulgar old style media he could literally feel the the youngsters poll numbers rising. Back in Ottawa there was full and guarded accounting of pot smoking experiences of youth. The Prime Minister had to bullshit the media, by admitting that he tried it a few times, which the Oracle of Ottawa has on good authority is a total lie, but one cannot appear to be un-hip can one? 

All in, everything is unfolding as it should, just like old Pierre Trudeau said many years ago. The young Justin is rolling another Jamaican jumbo blunt and is preparing to make some more babies with the comely Sophie. It is very important when you are the First Lady of Canada that there are lots of attractive youngsters around. The press loves it and it is really good for business. The social whirl of a young Liberal Government and the continued construction of the Just Society will make Ottawa magic again.

At the time of this writing it is less than 18 months to the next federal election. The forces of evil are all but contained and ready to be put back in the bottle for another couple of generations. We all just have to be patient, buy our tickets, and be ready to take the big ride that is soon to come...   

In Defense Of Senator Pamela Wallin

And money is like muck, not good except it be spread.
Sir Francis Bacon, Essays, Essay XV, Of Seditions And Troubles

You know that we are living in the Slavoj Zizek "End Times" when the Oracle of Ottawa has to come to the defense of a Conservative Senator! Now the Oracle of Ottawa is Left of the Lefties, and therefore is no close friend of the vertically challenged Senator Pamela Wallin.The Oracle of Ottawa will freely admit that he has never liked Pamela Wallin, but fair is fair, and the Oracle of Ottawa has had enough of this bullshit Canadian Senate witch hunt.

The (Still) Honourable Pamela Wallin

Lets get this all straight shall we? The Scum of the Prime Ministers office is ready to destroy this essentially decent woman and several of her peers in the vain attempt to drum up a wall of public revulsion against the "unelected" Senate of Canada. Mark the words of the Oracle of Ottawa Dear Reader, the only thing that is going to soon vanish is the insane scum of the 'Harper Government'!!

The Oracle has your back Pammy...

At the time of this writing, the scum of the 'Harper Government' Prime Ministers Office is ready to feed this woman to possible criminal charges and jail time for a crummy hundred grand, more or less, over a period of several years. Did you know Dear Reader that the last known GDP of Canada was 1.844 TRILLION dollars?  One of the richest nation states on Earth can't afford to have an appointed Senator of the Upper House of Sober Second Thought have a stay over in Toronto? Really? Fuck this insane SHIT!!!

Senator Wallin is not lying when she says that it is all but impossible to fly from Ottawa, Ontario to anywhere in Saskatchewan! But to fly from Ottawa, Ontario to Wadena, Saskatchewan, population 1306, is like recreating Homers Odyssey by air, quiet an undertaking at any time, believe the Oracle. And while we are talking air travel, why the Hell should an appointed Senator of Canada have to fly coach on Air Canada like a fuck'in Prole? An appointed Senator of the Canadian Senate should be able to go anywhere in Canada at no charge, no paperwork, at any time, and as often as they Goddamned want!!! There should be a very large fleet of executive aircraft for members of Parliament, Senators, Civil Servants, and if any seats are left over, members active and retired, of the Canadian Forces. Its Canada!! Distance is no object. (A good first thing job for the next Justin Trudeau government!!!)

One of the things that really gets the Oracle of Ottawa super Hot is the fact that the scum of the 'Harper Government' accepted all these Senators chump change expenses with out question, and then to fulfill a political objective come back on there most valuable people for repayment, Christ it is just like working for the City of Ottawa! And while the Oracle is at it, he is not too pleased at all the other Senators for getting on the Prime Ministers Office bandwagon. Not one Senator of any Party has had the guts to stand up and tell the PMO punks to piss off. But they have all no doubt been threatened with the same treatment or worse...

And another thing that also gets the Oracle of Ottawa very hot is the failure of the old style vulgar media to enquire to the cost of getting a Bilderberger Big Four Accounting firm into "audit" the chump change expenses. How many of this taxpayers dollars did the minion scum of the 'Harper Government' spend of this taxpayers money to get back one dollar of chump change expenses? Ten? A hundred? More? Why does this leftie taxpayer have to subsidize that??

Recently the Oracle of Ottawa has been having a recurring nightmare. Every time the Oracle of Ottawa enters a MacDonalds or a Harveys burger joint, in Ottawa, he can't find a seat, because the place is packed with 'Harper Government' cabinet members, diplomats, Senators and Deputy Ministers all doing government business with various world leaders, over meals from the value menu. God it is just terrible! It is high time to put the scum and the minions of the lowlife 'Harper Government' far behind us, and the sooner, the better.

Canada - The Right Bears It's Fruit

Attacks are rarely directed at true objectivity, but rather at pretenders who use it to mask their own dishonesty, or perhaps the falseness and injustice of the whole culture.
Theodore M. Porter, Trust In Numbers, p. 3

It seems like only yesterday that the Oracle of Ottawa witnessed the western idiot Preston Manning declare just after the 'Harper Government' majority that Canada is now all but gone over to the Dark Side of the political right. The Oracle of Ottawa, as a public service, to his worldwide audience has decided that it is time to let all the members of the Global Village know how this has all been working out for us here in Canada.

African Rock Python - messenger of the Right...

It was a packed church somewhere in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick today as several hundred mourners gathered for the double funeral of two young brothers aged five and seven, who were constricted to death by an African Rock Python several days ago. No matter where in the world you are as you are reading this, you have no doubt heard about this event through your local vulgar media. CNN International just loved it. It is quite true as you have probably suspected, that it is illegal in Canada to own this animal privately. And yes, we have (had?) a Federal Law that contains a huge list of scummy animals from the Third and other worlds that are not allowed in Canada, my once nice clean country, under any circumstances. Things like an Indian mongoose for example. But Dear Reader, did you know where the owner of this snake got it from? Sitting down? It was given to him by the provincial government of New Brunswick! Along with twenty six other restricted animals that the government seized! The Oracle of Ottawa can only imagine that the local governments budget has been cut so down to the bone that they could no longer afford bullets to do their mandated job. And the Right bears it's fruit.

Preston Manning - God of the Right

Recently in the Province of Quebec, a huge train of tanker cars containing "crude oil" was left out side a small town called Lac-Megantic. The unattended 73 car freight train simply rolled down the hill into the center of a small town and of course derailed and blew up, killing at last count 43 people, and creating a fire storm that resembled a little Dresden. But the upside of all this is that everybody in Canada now knows for sure that  there really is a God. The said fire bombed town was in the riding of the 'Harper Government' Minister of Industry and Development! You just can't make this stuff up! The Oracle of Ottawa remembers very well and clearly how the sock puppets of the 'Harper Government' stood up repeatedly in the House of Commons on many occasions and stated more than once that it was not the governments job to tell a capitalist pig how to run his / her  company!  And the Right bears it's fruit.

Prime Minister Harper - Lackey of the Right

Recently in the Province of Ontario, cancer patients in southern Ontario were informed that their chemo drugs have been discovered to be watered down by about 10%! The "honest mistake" was made by a private sector contractor, who's accountant must have figured that a one percent drop in concentration would result in a ten percent plus rise in profit. Who would ever know, right? And it certainly is not up to the Federal Government, or as it is now known, the 'Harper Government', to step into such situations and interfere with the divine workings of the Invisible Hand, is it? And the Right bears it's fruit.  

In the northern reaches of the Province of Alberta, raw tar sand, otherwise known as bitumen, has started to mysteriously seep from the ground, and has been proven to be impossible to stop. It is now contaminating 
the water table of a small band of Canadian Aboriginals, not to mention that lake and all its tributaries. Clean up costs are estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars. The monster large oil company in question claims it is all news to them, or rather until the intrepid members of the local vulgar media found out that it is leak from a SAGD mining of tar sand in the immediate area, that has somehow found another route up to the surface of the Earth due to an unknown number of rock fractures. Now it is taken as Gospel out in the western Canadian oil patch that it is no business of the Federal Government to impose foolish and expensive restrictions on dollar seeking oil companies.(3-D sesmic is not that expensive, but it does cost money...) The market will take care of all that, along with the Invisible Hand. It is not the governments business to tell an oil company what to do. And the Right bears it's fruit. 

Now we are out to Vancouver, British Columbia. Where upon this week it has been found that a local Chinese peasant has been running a dental practice out of a spare bedroom of his private home, in a very, well, somewhat nice street somewhere in Vancouver!! It hasn't been going on too long, only about twenty years! And the said buck-toothed peasant (irony?) didn't have too many patients, only about 1,500, well maybe a lot more than that, the police are still searching for his patient records, nothing yet. The said buck toothed Chinese peasant had very many dental tools, but from the video that the Oracle of Ottawa saw on the CBC newscast, it would probably be safer to get your dental work done at a GM dealership, at least my mechanics tools are bright and gleaming! Since there was no instrument sterilization equipment found as of yet, it has been recommended to all former patients to get tested for Hep A, Hep B, Hep C and while you are at it, get the AIDS test also. It seems that the Bucktoothed "dentist" was very popular with the high and low end downtown hookers of Vancouver Island. But certainly it is not for the Government of any level to interfere with an industrious person that just wants to make a buck for crying out loud
And the Right bears it's fruit.
