I don't really get Harper's stand on the gun registry. He believes people should have the right to bear arms unfettered by the state's bureaucracy, While he will quickly jail anyone choosing the wrong substance to reach an altered state of bliss. Why is that? Why would he not see a peaceful person's right to choose their own diet as sacrosanct, if no one else is affected by that person's behavior. What anyone smokes in privacy can not be of anyone's concern in a society which claims to be free. The guns in the hands of private peaceful people end up causing much more collateral damage than all the "soft" drugs. Many more children and adults are killed or seriously injured by the improper/unauthorized use of guns. In fact the combination of legal alcohol and the possession of guns, registered or unregistered, is the major cause of fatal shootings.
If Mr Harper wasn't about playing politics in lieu of good government, he would judge the merits of both proposals, the end of crime causing prohibition and the freedom to own guns peacefully, as being personal liberty issues consistent with each other. But he is not. He plays to emotional moralistic feelings which are not issue driven but work via political polarization thereby discouraging the middle rational majority to come out and vote making them stay home in droves. He fails to realize that good government lies in a compromise, a balance, between left and right extremism and would have an imbalance favoring conservatism.
There was another fatal shooting in my community last night, probably with an unregistered weapon due some illicit drug money or other human dysfunction gone astray. Not that this might have been prevented by the registry, but perhaps having the registry will help determine if the the suspect has other firearms in his possession lawfully which the cops would be safer knowing about, even if this handgun was not registered. It makes more sense for public safety to at least know about guns which might be in the hands of a criminal suspect than it does to worry about whether a person has smoked/used one kind of substance or another.. Especially if they are peaceful people who are not bothering anyone else. A gun although it should be free for a responsible person to own does have a high potential to be misused in a fatal way and should be licensed like vehicles. Pot is a plant which never has hurt anyone so there should be no controls on it. If people like to use it to make themselves feel good, that is of no business to the government or anyone else. The government has failed to prove that it even impairs anyone in an objective scientific experiment. There is no valid reason to criminalize people who use this plant or any other substance under the precepts of Justice and Injustice
As I mentioned in the CC forums post under the LEAP article (click title link) The Meager Creek slide reveals some of the facts of nature about changes in our environment. Having a morning "Creative Toke" I explained how I thought that prohibition might disappear all of a sudden, as such cataclysmic events as this slide do. Nature has a way of accelerating what seems like a glacial pace of change, Geologically speaking, with such dramatic punctuations, occasionally.
I did this in response to a disheartened poster who thought the exclusion of LEAP at a conference was a setback of some kind. People tend to forget that in this world things are complex and not linear. While an edifice may seem substantial, "rock hard," it may actually be on the brink of annihilation.
In the previous blog post I ask the obvious question which all regular > (State controlled) media has scrupulously avoided asking.
"Has the VPD, by going to the HA for the solution to this guy as a problem, abdicated the rule of law, given over control, to the bikers?"
After first, through the idiocy of Prohibition, creating these violent organizations based on criminal enterprise, over a freedom of choice issue, the cops now work hand in hand with them, even to the extent of eradicating all political activism which attempts to repeal the CDSA.

THE COPS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THE HELLS ANGELS, AS THEY HAVE OPENLY ADMITTED, TO CONTROL THE DRUG TURF FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
No regular media has ever touched that fact here in Vancouver!
Why? Because of the TARGET that they would make themselves out to be from both sides. No one has the jam to tell the truth here in this fucking Criminal Organization known as Canada. Harper/Ignatief only wants to spout more lies to create more of this. Why?
See how quickly this news item fell off all the regular media's radar? No one wants to have to explain the obvious, do they?
Just who does rule our society?
IS IT REALLY A GANG WITH A DUAL NATURE/COLORS?
Yes people have warned me to be careful. It is everyone else who should be careful here.
Whatever happens, I am the one who remains strong in my foundation of community service and doing the right thing no matter what the danger. This is the goal of someone who cares for his fellow humans and the future of society. Whatever happens is part of destiny and not my concern. I only do the bidding of the forces of good, and from there gain my strength and happiness.
Should someone in this "dual/twin headed serpent" Gang, which is the law in Vancouver, decide that "Gangland Justice" be my reward, I have no regrets, and will not be intimidated. Bring it on! Make my day!
A long time ago I realized that there is an inevitable end to life, and that life matters only in the free, untrammeled by fear, expression of it: in the living.
Any move against me personally would underscore my veracity and the accuracy of my perceptions and would be a losing chess move in the overall scheme of things. That is if smart people are in charge. Of course we know that corruption rules here in Canada, but still anyone with the slightest smarts would make sure that I didn't become a martyr. I would hope.
None the less, this is the way things are, because we made it so with our insistence on the failed policy of prohibition
I will make a porch video on this today.
All is quiet on the organized crime news front today in La La Land. Let's just stick our heads in the sand and let it happen, eh CTV, CBC?
Well fuck you, there is an alternative today and more people are turning to it for the real news. The fissures in the edifice of tyranny are expanding and soon, imo, we will have a "Meager Creek Moment."
You have to shake your head in amazement that Canadians are so duped by their media, that although they have had the facts, the news clips of the VPD relinquishing authority to the Hells Angels, since April of this year and now the resultant murder, no one is getting excited. This is because the Media has not added it up for the dupes yet, as they must now be spoon fed every tidbit, having trained the Canadian population to believe ALL THE LIES and nothing else.
I am going to make a porch side video about this idiocy of allowing a organized crime gang to handle anti social criminal behavior and then returning the favor by keeping HA drug turf inviolate. How many other hits in the lower mainland were Police requested during the last few years?
Shouldn't we at least get a uniform, a VPD crest, or a Buffalo patch combination for the HA like Blackwater has, make it look like they are part of the state machinery?
Fuck you, if you think I will belong to a society where the police look to the HA to solve their problems and then help them out to keep their drug turf from political interference. I have drawn a line in the sand
Right around the time the VPD were putting their spin in the media about going to the HA for help, Staff Sergeant Ralph Kaiser visited me in the North Fraser Remand center. He was investigating the complaint about Rainbow John's assault we had put in at the OPCC. I told him that if things didn't change soon that we would have Mexico style drug wars up here with the cops and criminals being the same thing. He smiled knowingly, like the dimwits all cops are, and shook his head and said, "never." Well you stupid fuck, this paradigm has been here for a long time already. And you are a big part of why it is here, because you are the one helping cops break the laws everyday

Here is a thread I posted two years ago on Topix. In it I have forewarned about about the circumstances of prohibition and its corruption of police, and all our institutions while giving power to the violent criminal organizations.
Here is a trio of excellent Letters to the Editor by Jodie Emery, Nicole, Nicole Seguin, Russell Barth in response to the National Post article entitled "National Post: An ineffective way to fight crime" about the Conservative crime Agenda on Cannabis culture forums.
Casey Hardison is currently serving a 20 year sentence in the UK for the manufacture of LSD, DMT and 2-CB. Casey defended himself using complex and innovative human rights arguments and continues to challenge the legality of the administration of the Misuse of Drugs Act:
Please don't forget to give to Casey's cause.
The very solid argument belongs to all, was first developed by Casey William Hardison and the legal foundation in search of Justice for Casey: Drug Equality Alliance
These guys at the "DEA" are true activists. Although I may be a recipient (indirectly) of their generosity mostly in 'SITTING IN' on the discussion format, I am honestly astonished at the level of commitment- let me spell that out- unpaid time and effort, that this organization has given to the cause of our freedom.
Remember this spending of a few bucks on your part could pay off in YOU gaining your freedom! Please find their donate button and spend freely. Here is the new battle cry.... Smoke one gram less per week and send $10 to the cause of this wonderful organization or Free Casey cause! No one OVER there is DIRECTLY concerned with Bud the "silly" Oracle, or, Klaus Kaczor and his gang of "demented" men, it is all about getting their wonderful perception of the law in front of a court anywhere in the western world. You too are welcome to contact them and state your case.That, in today's world, is far from the norm.

I am still carrying on this battle for sanity. I spend much time on the issues, and I hope to bring this case further than just the sentence hearing on September 2. If I can, I will ask to be heard at the Supreme Court level to get a stay in the proceedings on the much same argument I put before the Provincial court (See the bottom of this post.) To this end I hope to be able to raise airfare for an advocate from the Drug Equality Alliance to stand up and present the argument free of charge. The chances are not all that great, but we are working at the documentation to be heard at the Supreme Court level all by our amateur selves. It is our hope that we might get this argument before the courts somewhere in the world to raise the spirits and chances for freedom for Casey William Hardison who is still serving out his 20 year sentence. I don't know about you, but I can't just sit on my ass and dream about the times I used to get high, when this man and so many others are being tormented in prison for their belief in human rights. There is a strong likelihood that I too may be returned to jail at the time of sentencing but whatever it might be is nothing to the amount of time others are doing for supplying you with some nice psychedelic adventures to practice your freedom.
