With deepest gratitude and a heart full thank you to our local police officers of Temiskaming Shores, who had searched for and found a lost elderly person with dementia who had slipped away on us during an outing at a hockey game in New Liskeard. I like to think of our police officers, be they local, provincial or the R.C.M.P. as our guardian angels. These people who have dedicate their lives to serve and protect the citizens of our communities. Once again a heartfull thank you for the men and women in blue.
I suspect that this federal election here in Canada may be very problematic for a great many Canadians, given the choices we have open to us in choosing the political party who will govern our nation. In the running, at least here in the province of Ontario, there are three major political parties, which are the NDP, the Consuritive and the Liberals. Bloc Québécois, is for Québéc only, so that leaves that party out of the running here in Ontario. So what can we expect from those political parties that are in the running in Ontario? Well; You have Jack Laden of the NDP. I recall that every time the NDP had govern in a Province, they most always fell flat on their face, so what makes the NDP think that they will do any better Federally? Then you have Stephen Harper of the Conservative. If elected, he will be greatly moved to continue his persecution on homosexuals. He will dust off the covers of the "Malleus Maleficarum" manual. For those of you who may not know what the manual of Malleus Maleficarum is, it is a Christian manual that explains and identify people who they consider to be possessed by demons. Christians had already done this during "The Burning Times" (15th-17th century CE). They had spread lies and persecuted people who did not ascribe to their religion, be they men, women or children and were accuse of being possessed by demons who were in league with Satan the devil. They were branded as "witches" and burned alive upon stakes. I also have not forgotten that Conservative Prime Minister, that traitor of our country, that Boloney fella. Lastly; We have our present Prime Minister Paul Martin of the Liberal Party. I believe that Paul Martin means well, but he is a lackey for the New World Order system, and the party which he represents, is infested with corruption. So given the choices that Canadians have in this election, I for one, am in a real dilemma as to who to choose on my ballot sheet for the next leader of our nation.

This first week into the new year of 2006, we hear about the tragic coal
mining disaster at the Sago mine in Tallmansville, West Virginia. USA. where an
underground explosion had occered and 12 miners were killed. We hear that the
Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon had suffered a massive stroke. Then there
is the news about Pat Robertson and his remarks about Ariel Sharon's massive
stroke. Then there is a Roman citizen who is bringing a charge of fraud upon a
Catholic priest. On the tragic mining events in Tallmansville, West Virginia,
USA, I can not help but reflect upon all those people who had prayed to their
god in order to save the trapped miners. When these people were told that the 12
miners were alive, they were led to believe that their prayers had been
answered. People had believe for three hours, at the Sago Baptist church, which
was used as a temporary community center, that the 12 miners were alive and
would soon be coming out of the Sago mine. During all that time, Christians were
singing songs of praise to their fictitious god, Je-Zeus Christ. I have no doubt
that these people had believed that their prayers had a great part in having
saved the trapped miners from impending death. Only to find out much later, that
their prayers to their fictitious god had landed of deaf ears and had no real
effect in saving the miners. People throughout the world saw what little effect
these peoples prayers had done, given the outcome of this tragic event. These
Christians need to do some serious soul searching upon the religion they believe
in. I personally have very little respect for those priests and preachers who
would perpetuate a lie and misguide people in their preaching of a false
theology. This should also be a real wake-up call to anyone who may even
contenplate to have anything to do with that kind of a religion. Those people
had been duped, had been conned, had been cleverly deceived by those Christian
priests or pastors. We all know the truth now about the power of their phony god
in this tragic event. Hopefully; We will eventually find out what had prevented
a timely rescue that may have saved those miners. As things turned out, only one
miner, a young man, Randel McCloy jr. was found to be barely alive, had been
rescued and taken to a hospital in very critical condition. As an ex-miner, who
had two very narrow close calls within the same month many years ago, which had
led me to finally hung-up my lamp for good. I know the dangers that miners face
when working underground. Because of this, I can say with all honesty that I
deeply feel the people's loss, despite their misplaced faith in a heathen
religion with a fictitious god. I will not dwell any further on this sad topic.
Ariel Sharon had suffered a massive stroke with widespread bleeding in his brain
this week. Sharon had already suffered a mild stroke back in Dec. 2005 and was
about to go for surgery this month to repair a small hole that was found in his
heart. While I may disagree with many of his political policies. Like when he
had forced the Israeli settlers to move out of Gaza. Also the giving up a
portion of Israel, the Gaza strip, to the Palestinians. Building a wall to
hem-in the Israeli people into a false sense of security. Despite all of these
political disagreements on my part, I will always admire Ariel Sharon and
remember him as a great militery leader, and a person who had a real thirst to
protect the Israeli people from their enemies. Sharon will always be remembered
as a military hero regardless how he comes out of his massive stroke and
medically induced coma. Pat Robertson is a Christian Evangelical bible thumper,
who is seen on the Christian 700 club ministry. Pat Robertson had stated that
the massive stroke Ariel Sharon had suffered was GOD's retribution for having
relinquished the Gaza strip to the Palestinians. I greatly suspect that the
settlers who were forced out of Gaza by their Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon share
the same sentiments as this Christian preacher. Though I would be greatly
surprised if the Israeli settlers believe in the same Christian three gods
theology or in the fictitious man-god creature, Je-Zeus Christ, who is the main
god that Pat Robertson is talking about. I can remember not that long ago when
Ariel Sharon had spoken at the UN about GOD and the land of Israel. Sharon had
spoken about the area of land known as Israel, that it was given to the Jews by
GOD. Yet every action Sharon had taken during his political career, his policies
were devoid of GOD, on his chosen path of secularism. Something is wrong with
this picture. Then there is a resident of Rome, Luigi Cascioli of Italy, who is
taking his fraud case to court. He believes that the Roman Catholic Church claim
that their Je-Zeus Christ, is a fabrication and thus a fraud and may be breaking
some Italian laws dealing with fraud. He is bringing fraud charges of "Abuso di
Credulita Popolare" (Abuse of popular belief) which is meant to protect people
against being swindled or conned, and a fraud charge of "Sostituzione di
Persona," or the fraudulent impersonation of an actual person, upon the Roman
Catholic Church via by a catholic priest named Enrico Righi, who is spreading
this Je-Zeus Christ lie through his papers. Luigi Cascioli feels that the Roman
Catholic Church had constructed a fictitious Christ to deceive people by
teaching that this fraudulent Christ had actually existed some 2,000 years ago.
These are the charges that Luigi Cascioliag is bringing against the catholic
priest who represents the Roman Catholic Church. He will have a very good case,
and can win it, if he can get some Court of Law to hear it. If this case ever
gets to Court, I can just imagine what the news headlines around the world will
read... "Christianity on Trial." Personally; I think that Christianity is
nothing more than another heathen, Baal type of religion. But in this case,
their claim is based upon fraudulent representation. Of course their ministers,
be they Pope's, priests and Protestant pastors will never come clean and tell
the people the truth. They have a monetary vested interest in all of this. All
the Christian churches throughout the world should be charged with representing
a great fraud upon the people as I have pointed out on the People of the Holy
Testament web site.

The US Government is making millions of people very nervous when they use the search engines on the Internet. The Bush administration's demand to get a peek at what millions of people have been looking up on the Internet through leading search engines. We already know that the US government has already been spying on its own citizens on the sly. Now the US government request through a subpoena, that all search engines disclose information on people using the Internet. This is a great potential for these online databases to become the tools for government surveillance. Google has refused to comply with a White House subpoena that was first issued last summer, prompting U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales only this week to ask a federal judge in San Jose for an order to hand over the requested Google records. The US government wants a list on all people who entered a search on Google's search engine during an unspecified week that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million selected Web addresses from various Google databases. The Bush administration excuse for this information is to "track down online child pornography". Yeah, Right! All they need to do is surf the web via the search engines by using key words, to find out who is promoting and displaying child pornography. But we know that is not the only reason they want direct information on Internet web sites. The White House had already authorized eavesdropping on civilian communications without obtaining court approval. We have found out through the news media that Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet's second most used search engine behind Google, had already complied with a similar government subpoena. Yahoo stressed that it didn't reveal any personal information. "We are rigorous defenders of our users' privacy," Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako said on Thursday, January 19th, 2006. "In our opinion, this is not a privacy issue." Microsoft Corp. MSN, the No. 3 search engine, declined to say whether it even received a similar subpoena. We already know that MSN works closely with any law enforcement officials, be it in the US or worldwide, to assist them when requested. MSN had admitted that much in statements they had made to the press. Every other search engine were served similar subpoenas by the Bush administration, and the majority of these have complied so far, according to recent court documents. Unfortunatlly, these cooperating search engines weren't identified. The US government says it isn't seeking any data that ties personal information to search requests. No, not likely! These subpoenas has raised some serious privacy concerns, many legal experts say. Those worries on spying on the general public have been magnified after 9/11 on obtaining personal information on people without obtaining any court approval. In this day and age, search engines play an important part in peoples daily lives in using the Internet. This is a serious case involving personal privacy issues. This is like BIG BROTHER government wanting to know who you had made contact with, how often you called, and what you had talked about. People should be really upset about all of this spying on the general public. We all know that the contents of Internet web sites contains information on people who are using the web. For instance, it's not unusual for web sites to include names, even medical profiles on people or the much sought after Banking and Social Security information that people give on the web. "This is exactly the kind of thing we have been worrying about for some time, and Google should be commended for fighting this." said Pam Dixon, executive director for the World Privacy Forum. Google, as the Internet's dominant search engine, has built up a valuable storehouse of information that "makes it a very attractive target for law enforcement," said Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center. The Department of Justice argues that Google's cooperation is essential in its effort to simulate how people navigate the Web. Obtaining these subpoenaed information from Google and other search engines assist the US government in its efforts to understand the behavior of current web users in the course of their searches. Google's battle with the US government should remind people to be careful on how they interact with search engines and the Internet. When you log on the Internet, you should always keep in mind that BIG BROTHER is watching, and what you log on to, may one day come back to haunt you, unless you take protective precautions. I wonder to what extent our own Canadian Government is illegally spying on its citizens? Hummmmmmmmm. It would be interesting to find out.

Then we have this cross-boundary shopping issue between B.C. and Alberta. The Liberal B.C. provincial government asked from wholesale giant Costco of Alberta, for the names of B.C. residents and the dollar value of purchases they made in their Alberta stores. On Thursday, January 19th, 2006, Liberal B.C. minister Rick Thorpe, had said that the B.C. provincial government wanted any information on its B.C. residents, who are shopping in Alberta stores be handed over to them. The B.C. provincial government said that it would thoroughly protect the privacy of any names and information of Costco B.C. clients. To justify this act, he explained that the B.C. provincial government looses about $12 million in unpaid taxes, by cross-boundary shopping. Estimates done six years ago suggest that B.C. residents along the B.C. / Alberta boundary looses about $230 million in sales to Alberta. By shopping in Alberta, B.C. residents avoid paying the seven per cent B.C. sales tax. Minister Rick Thorpe calls these people "sales tax dodgers", and the Liberal B.C. provincial government wants to catch these sales tax dodgers! Wholesale giant Costco filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court to try and stop the province from demanding its client information. Revenue Minister Rick Thorpe, had refused to talk about the Costco petition directly, saying that it was now before the courts.
And I had naively always thought that we were free to shop where ever we wanted within our great land and country called Canada. How foolish of me to have ever believed that. Maby I suffer from cabin fever and have lost all perspective in who is really running our provincial and federal governments.

I am not surprised in the least that the Liberal Party was defeated, given the constant corruption scandal that was found within the Liberal ranks. What did Paul Martin really expect, given the Liberal Party track record during the past few years? People are willing to overlook minor deficiencies but not outright corruption. Then again, given the great amount of votes the Liberal Party had recived in this election, I wonder what kind of message this will convey to our young people? Will it tell them that a large percentage of adults think that outright corruption is not such a bad thing, that it is quite alright to turn a blind eye to it because that is how back room politics and business is done in this country? This is not the kind of message or impression I would like to leave our young people. The Liberal Party really needs to clean house and get rid of its trash. So Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party had won the election, all be it, by a slim margin. It is said that people who learn from past history, will not readily repeat the same mistakes. Will this Conservative government prove to be a case of history repeating itself? Only time will tell. Now that the majority of Canadians have voted for the Conservative Party to represent our Federal Government, it remains to be seen just what Stephen Harper had really meant, when he said that "The best is yet to come".

News that the Islamic militant group Hamas had won the democratic Palestinian elections will no doubt now throw the whole Palestinian-Israeli peace process into a stand still, if not into turmoil. Hamas has all along claimed that it is committed to the obliteration of the Jewish state and has rejected any idea of negotiations with Israel. Hamas, has always called for the destruction of Israel. Abbas, leader of the Fatah party which was associated with corruption, had steped down during a clash between the Hamas and Fatah groups. The outcome of the election is now causing the biggest challenge for George W. Bush and the Israeli Government, knowing that they can no longer pursue any peace agenda with the Palestinians. I had said so long ago, that "The Road to Peace" agenda was going to come to a crashing dead end. You would have thought that those people who were involved with this "Road map to peace" mirage, would have clued them to the fact that they were barking up the wrong tree.
