Hey! I thought it was the US that was supposed to ignore us?

I feel slighted, here we are, a good world citizen. We will mock the US like a good European and they (the rest of the world) do this to us!

Seriously though, how can there be consensus when one person says no and the other 46 say yes? It can be called "near unanimous" but can by no stretch of the imagination be called consensus... I might just be confused, after all, this group can travel in time so maybe they know Canada will be changing their minds in the future. It could be that the party hosted by those reknown beacons of human rights, Cuba and Belarus was more important. Whom am I to say.

One final comment on this day, why can the UN spend so much time on censoring Israel, and spend so little time on fixing the problems?

It's been over a week since I last posted

so I thought I would update you on Farfur, the Mickey Mouse clone I talked about before. I guess he is no longer on TV, because in the last episode he was killed by an Israeli.

Have no fear, I have a couple of thoughts still boiling in my head, and I should be spewing them forth sooner or later.

If you see or hear about a film called Hot House, and you hear about Marwan Barghouti and how he is a natural leader for a reconciliation for Israelis and Palestinians. Maybe you will look at Ahlam Tamimi and see her as an unjust victim of Israeli persecution. All I am going to suggest is you remember the lives they stole with bombs and nails.


So stay tuned and keep watching the skies...

At least they have given up

any attempts of impartiality...

I mean, I understand that white supremacists are anti-semitic, same with groups like Hamas and Hizbollah but when the United Nations singles out one country for "permanent indictment under a special agenda item" and it is not Sudan for this thing called Darfur, or Nigeria or hell, even Iran. Instead they continue to beat the same old drum about Israel's illegal occupation when Israel tried to give it back, and Arafat rejected it....

You may have heard about Resolution 242 by the UN, calling for Israel to give back the territories it took in the 6 Day war. It has, but part of that resolution is respect for the right of every state in the area to live in peace within secure and recognised boundaries, aka you have to recognise the existence of Israel. Egypt (a treaty which Anwar Sadat paid for with his life) and Jordan have both done so, now we wait for Syria to understand that if they agree to peace, they can have the Golan Heights back. I find it strange that the defender (and winner) of both the 6 Day war and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 should have to sue for peace and jump through hoops to ensure peace.

Maybe the UN could help...

Media Manipulation and the Modern World

Part 1

Part 2


The creator of this, Richard Landes and his organisation.

I don't expect many of you to actually watch the full videos, but it should give you some sober second thought about media manipulation in favour of extremists.

Here is an article on the death of Mohammed al-Dura as well.

I am not telling you to believe it, nor am I saying you have to disbelieve it. I do think you should watch it though.

As a special bonus, Purdue University did some FEA and created this animation.


If you believe that the US caused the towers to go down, this won't change our mind, but it does show how we can use science to disprove (or prove) things we cannot look at directly.

Not a religion post!

I have been reading a little about espionage in Canada. We are currently being spied on by about 1000 chinese spies and informants, not to mention a few Russians.

How should we handle this, should we start a recruiting more CSIS agents or is it a non issue?
