What’s Happening Around The Neighbourhood?

a brief rundown on some of the news stories that have emerged this week.

Hello readers, here’s a quick rundown of stuff that happened recently. If you aren’t a paid subscriber, and if you like this post, and want to support this publication, please consider dropping a tip in the Tip Jar.

A 29 year old Afghan National (named Rahmanullah Lakanwal) in the US on a resettlement program after working in CIA-backed-Zero Unit in Afghanistan, shot and critically wounded two National Guard soldiers yesterday in Washington DC, triggering a shut down of the White Housemate, a SOP that lasted a few hours whilst law enforcement secured the scene and caught the shooter.

We have heard no official on the motive for the crime. The latest update I’ve heard has one soldier in critical condition and the other deceased. I will say nothing about the kumbaya drama queens who banged on about how Orange Man Bad engaged in heavy-handedness by ordering the National Guard into DC. The claim is now that the shooter had mental problems from his Zero Unit service. How did they vet and screen this guy? Let’s all wait and see how this unfolds.

Yesterday Blacklock’s revealed that Carney made a recent housing announcement in front of a fake construction site, a literal Potemkin Village, one that the Liberal government paid a contractor to construct for the purposes of the announcement.

Note that Barbara Bal tweeted about the Potemkin Village in September. Carney still has no constituency office, by the way.

Carney recently met with AB Premier Danielle Smith, and led us to believe that they negotiated a pipeline deal. Psych — there ain’t no deal, Carney faked us all, again. When will we learn that we cannot trust anything Carney says? It’s a bit frustrating.

To add to the pipeline drama, Eby threw a hissy fit because Carney didn’t invite him to the pipeline meeting. Yeah, reader, I can’t figure out why the man baby we call David Eby didn’t get his invite to that meeting, can you?

Anyway, as expected, the Coastal First Nations have announced their intentions to thwart any pipeline deal.

Because of course they did. Stewards of the land an all. Dumping sites are cool, and pipelines are not. Do you detect my bitterness, reader? Also, yes I did just draw an equivalence between two issues that aren’t related or equivalent, in order to make my point. As your resident mouthy asshole, that’s my prerogative. Cope. Here’s a video about an energy MOU signed by Carney and Smith, if you have gotten into the ongoing charade.

That said, Danielle Smith did meet with Ambassador Wang Di. Glavin, in his reaction to Smith’s announcement of her meeting with the PRC Ambassador, has a valid point. Presumably China would become a major customer for that oil which Smith wants to funnel through her new pipeline to the BC coast.

Le Sigh, readers, because it would seem, despite the demonstrated danger PRC poses to Canada, we still want to have play dates with them. Let’s be clear, we know First Nations have tried to get cozy with the PRC.

The UK has decided to medically experiment on vulnerable children under the guise of a “puberty blockers” clinical trial. What Helen Joyce says her should shock and anger you, reader. The maximum lifetime dose for GnRHa aka Lupron aka “puberty blocker” is TWELVE DOSES. That’s a maximum initial course of 6 doses and a repeat course of 6 doses. That’s per pharmacology professor and former FDA Medical Officer John Geriguian, who testified as an expert in the Klein v. Abbott trial, and I have written about that before in this Substack.

The gender evangelicals simply cannot stop their proselytising bullsh1t. It’s a giant stinky sh1t sandwich they’ve forced us to eat. Did you know that the actual drug monograph for Lupron Depot Ped has a warning about Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonists triggering or exacerbating psychiatric episodes? Yes “puberty blockers” create psychological distress, they don’t relieve it.

However, it matters not, apparently, because the body modification cult must grow its membership … at any cost. Readers might remember that last week I wrote about the demonic implications of “at any cost” movements. That still stands and you might want to go read that piece after you’re done here.

Speaking of “at any cost,” DULF finds itself in court, having been charged with drug trafficking under the CDSA. Cue the drug activists and their ruling elite patrons who will spew their stigma is colonial and dangerously individualistic garbage reasoning, and who will cry that white supremacy ideologies drive people to promote abstinence, that it’s mean and an anathema to compassion to fight for evidence-based, abstinence-focussed addiction treatment for the drug addicted. When you’re done reading the judicial decision you can take a look at the Charter challenge Kalicum and Nyx have launched in response to their convictions. Yes, reader, the CDSA is unconstitutional now. Yes, reader, it’s all so fcuking colonial, the rule of law. Le Sigh. Go read the piece from Juno News about the DULF founders’ case, if you feel so inclined. Alex Zoltan did a great job live tweeting from the court. You might want to check that out, too.

Also cue the arrogant d1ckheads who will tell me I don’t know anything about this because I was only a crackhead and a cokehead and opioid addiction is waaaay different. Yes, somehow withdrawal from cocaine and from crack is a carnival picnic of delight. Also, it’s not like I learned anything about the drug activism movement, nor saw the policy writing on the wall, 22 years ago when I worked for a brief time at the brand new Safe Injection Site, called Insite. Nah, je ne sais rien. I’m an idiot who saw nothing, learned nothing, experienced nothing in my time. Definitely don’t bother listening to anyone who worked at the Safe Injection Site when it opened to much self congratulatory fanfare on the part of Portland Hotel Society executive whom the province later fired for mishandling of public funds. And don’t bother listening to anyone went through the tribulation of hard addiction and decided to get clean, and did all the things and has never looked back, and has never felt any temptation or desire to go back there. Clearly, I’m an idiot.

Anyway, are we supposed to have any sympathy for the drug traffickers who bought drugs from dark web drug dealers and had the drugs tested at university labs and then resold the drugs they bought from the dark web¹ to their “compassion club” members? Because my sympathy-making machine broke down, rendering me unable to manufacture any sympathy for Kalicum and Nyx at this time. C’mon Bad Hijabi, it’s a “compassion club,” why are you being so mean? They had noble intentions so it’s fine, is what you’ll tell me, right? Sure, deliberately violating federal drugs laws against the warning of Health Canada to sell drugs you bought from the dark web is laudable, the road to hell is not paved with good intentions, is it? Readers can check out the piece I wrote back in July for the New Westminster Times, Nightmare: Can We Finally Admit That The Frightening Drug Experiment Has Failed? I did a fairly deep dive into the boutique activism that characterises the public health drug activist movement in that piece.

Anyway, that’s what been happening lately in the news.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and readers! Despite the sometimes depressing and often frustrating news unfolding around us, we still have much for which to give thanks!

I’ll leave you all with Brian Zahnd’s Thanksgiving playlist.
