What ever happened to OPCC complaint # 2007-3940?

Last year after the shooting of Paul Boyd on Granville street by a VPD officer, I was listening to the Early Edition Radio One. Stephen Quinn was interviewing the new chief Jim Chu (I didn't even know his name then).

I heard him say (which I confirmed with a telephone call to Stephen) "I am convinced that my officers are innocent of any wrong doing and I stand behind them 100%"

Now on the face of it, this might seem appropriate, but to someone with more than half a brain it means something different.

His legal duty was to say "The matter is still under investigation, therefore I can't comment."

The news right after the shooting had witnesses saying that they saw Mr. Boyd with his hands up and that he appeared to have been executed. This was confirmed in July 2008 by what my arresting officer told me when I stuck my head into the police car to try to challenge the prohibition laws.

This supervisor told me, when I mentioned my charges to the chief "Yeah, the guy with the bicycle lock injured a cop severely." As if this is a valid reason that a cop can gun down someone on the street with their hands up.

What Chief Chu actually had done was exhibit gang behavior telling his own cops, who must carry out the investigation, that he feels that the shooters were innocent, and this before any investigation was even begun. I have a record of not going along with gang type behavior, no matter which colors they wear.

The OPCC accepted my complaint and gave me 1st person standing. It was the Mayor and the police board which sent 2 cops a lawyer and someone from mental health to my door and asked me, the complainant, several silly questions, one of them about my use of Marijuana. Since then I have not heard a single thing.

Before the cops can come after me for smoking pot, (which allows me to see more clearly than most citizens) I want them held to the laws so that they don't behave like criminal gangs! I don't want executioners, nor those who stand behind them, working on my police forces.

Policing is a dangerous business. Just because someone gets hurt on the job is no reason to allow executions in revenge or to intimidate the public. Before we need to hire more cops, we must hold the present ones accountable under the laws, otherwise we are building a police state.

What would my habits have to do with the police chief committing a crime of Obstruction of Justice on behalf of the shooter? Not only did he do this, but it also appeared to have corrupted the investigation and any appearance of lawbreaking, corruption are grounds for the laying of charges.

That incident which I have just described is the purpose for the prohibition laws, so that those who might change our laws and demand police accountability for the betterment of society are denigrated and marginalized and denied their rights and their power of political expression.

My unique thoughts on off-leash issues (click)

This is a plan whereby people can share the common spaces available responsibly while raising the knowledge of all. It would put the onus on the dog owning community to be responsible and it would encourage resolutions of problems at the source point without the city getting involved. The knowledge would spread and there would be many responsible eyes with civic training dispersed throughout the city.

Click the title and listen to the podcast . the day was filled with meeting people and listening to their concerns. You can be sure, though, that I got a word or two in edge-wise.

From the poorest of people to the other end of the spectrum they mostly like the hat, especially in front of Marc Emery's place.

Later Aloofus and I, went to crab park and he had a great play with a lovely large breed female pup while the adults talked politics.

(I tried to talk naturally and kept the editing to a minimum. sorry about the ahs. I'll try to do better next time but at least it doesn't sound like my earlier attempts at editing---"Cyber speak")

Yesterday's Journal as a podcast (click)

Yesterdays journal: Here is something I blogged on The shotgun blog about it. I can't sleep because I'm in a creative mania:

"Here's a bit of news today!

I have actually plunked down my deposit sent in 150 word bio and handed in my nomination papers today at city hall! I'm an official politician.

Paul Hancock who is the chief officer stunned me by saying that he expects a turn-out of 32%.

The bio blurb should be on the official city website along with my smiling bud oracle mug shot, along with my website link, tomorrow.

Also it will go out to every household in Vancouver in hard copy in a very nice booklet. 250,000

As I walked from the rear of the City Hall, after signing in, I was struck by the beauty of the north shore mountains in the distance with the Olympic flag in the foreground.

The thought crossed my active, herbally enhanced imagination, that it would only be fitting if Vancouver had a modern version of the ancient Greek tradition of the altered state arts, an Oracle on Council welcome the participants of another ancient Greek tradition of the war arts.

Don't you think?

All I got to do to get on council, is to somehow light a fire under the lazy ass of apathy. simple, eh!"

Campaign induced thoughts on the political nature of humans

Today I was campaigning on Granville Island, Thanks to all for the nice smiles.

Although I was accused of "Thread Jacking" by TM Jaworski, I think my postings were interesting and vital insights on the value of this media in general and these forums specifically. Click on title of this post to check out my thoughts on the Blog habit. The Western Standard Shotgun blog.

The other day when I was getting some printing done, the store owner told me of a time when he was a youth in the fifties, of the times he went to the exact place where I now live and the White Wolf has his hillside. He told me in response to my story of where I lived and how Aloofus gets to howling when the coyotes do.

He said that as a kid he would go to the exact same spot where Al and I now live, and there was a cave there, then. When I told him of how Al sounds out like a Wolf and how it makes me think of a time 200 years ago when there might have been Wolves here, he told his story. How his pals and him stood here and howled like wolves at the coyotes too.

Basically, am having plenty of fun meeting people, as you know if you've met me. What it will shake down to remains to be seen.

I enjoyed the Writers Festival at the library yesterday.

Click the Title of this article to read some of my latest arguments on Prohibition in the Western Standard Shotgun Blog. There are some interesting posts from the pro and con, and you can meet some of the lesser know candidates who stand for grassroots freedom.

The other point I wished to make this morning was to thank the many nice people who stopped and talked to me at the Writer's Festival Sept 28th, 2008, and the many, intelligent and bold men and women who commented on my hat! You are the spice of my life, Thanks.

I'm trying for under $50.00 campaign, because I think that is all this process is worth. For sure the upper limit will be $100.00 because that's all she wrote for the campaign chest of Bud Oracle. And I am not going to spend more, even if someone contributes to my campaign. I prefer that people get involved and spread my links and the word.

It's fun to campaign, I am only interested in it if it remains fun, rather than worry about not having enough money to compete.

Democratic Economy the best in the world? Yeah, right, Mr. Harper!

This is the society, these are the people, government and economy Harper has been touting as his ideal model since he came on the scene. It is our neighbor's full prisons, crime ridden lawless society Harper sees as the template for Canada. Harsher laws for your children, three times and your out for life.

When is Harper going to establish the rule of Law in Canada? With the example of always being above the laws which they harshly enforce, the Canadian police forces have racked up the largest score of collateral damage (dead Canadian citizens and one Pole) while "doing their job" of all the other illegal gangs combined. Lies, negligent investigations, have caused many travesties of Justice. Natives are still targeted in vestigial racism.

Former Judge Henderson arrested in the Cayman Islands in a police corruption investigation. I wonder if more of our Judges aren't secret criminals. Like that one in Northern BC, who was found guilty of raping a minor. The same minor who had charged a Mounty before she died.This rapist cop, knowing that she can not stand against him now, is suing the Police themselves for charging him. Are these only hints of what slime lies deeply within our justice system? The model we have is of the law of the jungle, not, justice as in the rule of law.

The American lies are collapsing to the south, yet Harper stands by them. As if Canada's puny economic engine, which is intertwined with the American business cancer, could stave off what is in store for us.

This autocratic emulator of the Great Decider and his republican dream team, Harper, has shown himself to be a sucker betting on a loosing American horse. Don't be misled by his claims and words, look close at his failed deeds, his inability to work with your elected representatives.

To elect Harper, a Republican conservative boot-licker now, when America itself is rejecting his ilk, would put Canada behind their recovery.

We pay for non performance and corporate welfare, while there are many needy Canadians being left to suffer. The corporate greedy slugs take our money and never give back the industry promised to us in payment for the tax incentives given, to employ the poor and needy, to enhance the Canadian economy.

Some Canadians are bovine to believe the the likes of the conservatives will help them in the coming economic failure. They will stick money and tax incentives up their friend's anal orifices, while making the average Canadian carry the brunt of the hardship.

These "Market Adjustments" really mean "wealth claw-back" from the poor. Those who have caused this meltdown knew enough to be cash rich and get more from government to buy up all the deals due to devaluation of your property, which they caused.

Wait and see, the rich are getting richer, and will be able to get even more so, with the likes of the Conservatives in Government.

Canadian Elections a non event? Voter Train our Politicians

People are not engaged in talking about the serious issues that are facing us. Hardly a word is spoken about the war, what war? Not much will appears to be behind environmental issues.

Why is it that, at a time when we are on the threshold of the end, the point of no return, we retract like a frightened turtle into its shell? Is it the fault of lowbrow media only interested in feeding dirty politics for ratings? Are we truly that shallow in our depth of awareness?

Do the young couples with children have any sense of what is really in store for them? I see so many young children and more in the oven. What will become of them unless wise leadership is elected today to solve those real problems?

Is Harper good at anything but insults and dictatorship, Do we really need a strong man like Saddam Hussein at this time? Or someone who cares about the social costs of the future? Do you feel comfortable, looking around at the meltdown , that the business community can be trusted with our future, as Harper and his pals claim?

What is the problem Canada? Why doesn't the press interview me, I have real solutions which are timely.

End the idiocy of Prohibition and destroy the economic base for organized crime so that society can heal in harmony once again.

Allow the criminals to pay taxes and keep their profits as well as rejoin society, so that we have their talents working for us as legal entrepreneurs.

Hold all police and politicians accountable under the laws to set an example of lawfulness.

Install magnetic strip licensing and charge polluters directly per day they pollute. This will also help with policing as we will know where vehicles are in real and recorded time. We have been dithering at this while other nations in the world are decades ahead.

Retract all troops on foreign soils and develop a policy of non aggression, and stay neutral. Create a defensive, insurgency type of military plan for the repulsion of an invader and stay sovereign so that we don't have the idiocy of other governments effecting Canadian society.

Our future must be Sovereign. To tie our destiny to America is a loosing proposition for Canada, because this is a nation in decline. We will be paying for their carelessly incurred debt with no dividend of security, rather instability caused by reactionary terrorism.

I have a solution for practical change right now!

Voter Train our politicians to become more responsive to Canadians. Withhold your votes from the former ruling parties and vote for those who have something to prove to us if we give them a chance! This will allow the other parties to revitalize themselves and come back adjusted to be more responsive.

You would think that in all of Canada we would see another view similar to this surface, but in all our multi million dollar media nothing like this is likely to surface because that would really upset the apple cart for those who pull the strings usually. And Canadians think we live in a free country.

We deserve the leadership that we will get! Ask yourself why this election at this time. What is Steven Harper's true agenda? Can he be trusted to keep his word?

Some great blogging with my favorite opponents: the godsuckers.

It's about the idiocy of denigrating Dana Larsen for his on air acid trip while totally ignoring the evidence that he is completely rational and un impaired in any way.

Jews for a just peace demonstrate Mon 22 September

A vigil in Black (bring light/candles) 5:00 to 6:00 pm Vancouver Art Gallery (near Robson and Hornby.

What struck me was that they invite anyone out who hasn't done this before. It is a life changing experience to take a stand for something, very empowering! So come out, it will be a real stand for you!

I've stood alone and it still felt extremely powerful, yet paradoxically serene. This will reward you more than you might dream. I've gained so much inner strength from taking worthwhile stands such as this. The world needs sane people who give a crap to do something now, so please join them. I'll try to make it for the first half, but I have to be home close to six.

If they succeed humanity might have a chance at a future without Armageddon looming over it constantly, so it is kind of important.

Also note that this group is sponsoring a film for the Vancouver Film Festival.

One Lady and I stood, while the godly walked by unconcerned about foreign injustices. There is absolutely no hope for the future.

The numbers of materialistic consumers addicted to trinkets from china is overwhelming and speaks of a shallow future enslaved to the marketers for our society

Censorship has its rewards! The words become more enticing if fordidden.

This is the most interesting perspective, Hijacking Humanity-click title, that I have seen in a while. Although I don't believe every last thing was by design, and although it is American, Harper has worshiped the plan for decades, I do feel the truth of it within my spirit.

I have learned this much from my Wolf, when someone is trying to sell me something real hard my resistance usually goes up. Therefore I become wary and diligent and do exactly as that which I am asked to do in the narrative. I become skeptical and try to gain knowledge in different ways. Sometimes all I have to do is listen to someone and they say something that joins another piece of the puzzle. This is why I know that this is truth. I have seen and written my own versions of this same truth independently, therefore I know it to be real.

Vancouver College is a place where drones are made. It seems full of the least aware, most regimented, non curious drones I have ever met. Many were barely mature. None took a brochure or were inquisitive in any way. I could out-perform any of them in any knowledge test, I'm sure. And these people are paying for an education? It seems that they aren't getting their money's worth, or only second rate students go there. Good consumers trained in somnambulism.

If you take the time to read my true adventures (not the Pump House, crows on crack, love unleashed) you will see that through curiosity, self education, higher education, by following what my spiritual core told me to do, from turning in the braggart who confessed murder to me: I trusted the RCMP, to An E-mail can change the world, Laugh or cry this story is not a lie, that things had to be the way they were in order for my life to play out this way. You will see that by following my inner spirit and doing what I was driven to do, for whatever purpose might be inspired, I am being rewarded with good karma., I believe. It is my duty to use it to come against insanity when I can.

Besides, for me, a creature of opportunity on a X-country/life soaring flight, this is fun. I shun conformity, slavery by instinct. I can tell when someone is perpetrating a fraud on me. I try my best to use my skills to effect. Truly my life is rich with rewards of the most precious kind.

Thanks to all those from institutions of higher learning who have been visiting my website for extended periods, I'm glad that my poor writings are being perused by you. Thanks, I'm beginning to feel that it isn't just me in this battle for sanity and human freedom.

It is for you and your offspring that you must demand an end to this madness, police state enforcing pollution, and consumerism, so that we are all slaves forever for trinkets made in China.

"Materialism is the addictive drug, and consumerism is its delivery method" Bud Oracle.

This is the reason I call myself the first free-roaming Oracle of modern times. Call me crazy; it's traditional. I tell you honestly, that you could have your freedom as soon as you wish to exert it.

Freedom is first and foremost a state of mind.

Take back the power: Voter train your politicians to be more responsible to your wishes. Don't vote for any of the former ruling parties.

And keep your eyes and ears open, be aware at all times. Today I met an undercover officer and was able to "make him" within the first minute of talking with him.

It's easy when you stay sharp. There are certain directions that a cop wants to lead a conversation. I understand the arts of communication, normal engagement, and can easily ferret out when someone wishes to lead me to paths which might incriminate me.

Communication is an art I spend at least 40 hours per week engaged in. You can say accurately that I am experienced in the nuances of conversation mining, vocal masking and much more, with the ability to disarm people quickly. It comes of a natural affinity, and training turned into practice. People in general judge a book by its cover, and usually underestimate me, which is also a bonus if you wish to sneak in "under the radar."

It's all an intricate weave in a web of deceit, which we project automatically to disguise our vulnerabilities while luring the other into disclosing theirs.
