Feb,11th. 2008; According to USA Today, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned on Friday he would cut off oil exports to the United States if Washington goes "over the line" in what he has said are attempts to destabilize his left-leaning government. Chavez made his threat a day after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the Venezuelan government posed "one of the biggest problems" in the region and that its ties to Cuba were "particularly dangerous" to democracy in Latin America. Relations between Chavez and the Bush administration hit new lows in recent days after Washington expelled a Venezuelan diplomat in response to Chavez's expulsion of a U.S. embassy official for alleged spying. Chavez, who refers to President Bush as "Mr. Danger," said U.S. officials would fail in their attempts to turn Latin American nations against Venezuela. But according to LNG Intelligence (DowJones) EI Energy Intelligence, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said during an official visit to Honduras that his country will leave oil exports to the U.S. untouched. The Venezuelan president has repeatedly threatened to cut off oil shipments to the U.S., as he has accused it of interfering in Venezuelan politics and trying to destabilize his government. "We have no plans to stop exporting oil to the United States," Chavez said during a press conference from Honduras televised by a Venezuelan state television channel. Chavez also blamed high energy consumption in the U.S. for the latest surge in oil prices. The president didn't offer more details on Venezuela's oil exports. The United States is Venezuela's biggest oil customer and one of the few countries that can refine its low-quality crude. Venezuela accounts for up to 15 percent of U.S. crude imports.

Listening to all the comments made by the various political parties on Canada's combat mission in Afghanistan, it is plain to see that they either had willingly bought into that UN Globalization plan, which is just another name for the New World Order or that they are too stupid to know what is really going on in the world. Take your pick! None of these people are the least concerned that the real reason we ended up getting so involved in Afghanistan, was because of U.S. President George W. Bush and company wanting that oil pipeline to go through that country. Don't think there is a connection between Afghanistan and the oil monopolies? Think again. Afghanistan's significance from an energy standpoint stems from its geographical position as a potential transit route for oil and natural gas exports from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea. This potential includes the possible construction of oil and natural gas export pipelines through Afghanistan, which was under serious consideration in the mid-1990s. That plan was the major cause for Afghanistan's instability. Do you not find it strange that Osama bin Laden had never been captured after all these years, or at least since 9/11? The country's major problems with the Taliban in this war has caused many casualties and refugees, has devastated the country's economy and had caused wide-scale human rights violations. All because U.S. President George W. Bush and company want that oil pipeline to go through Afghanistan. The Taliban will make sure they do not succeed, while we send our troops and they get killed all because our $#@%^$ people want to protect George W. Bush and company their invested intrest. Talk about being dumb sheeps or being led by the nose by the "powers that be"!

Speaking about the "powers that be", the New World Order, and who really pulls the strings, there is a book you may still find on the bookstores shelf, titled; The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, by Daniel Estulin (Paperback - Sep 2007). The book reveals who the real power is who really pulls all the strings. It is a clandestine band of dizzyingly powerful politicans and industrialists who are the real rulers of the world. Ever wondered about how wars start? Why oil is so high and the stocks crash? Even the making and breaking of presidents? This book delves into a world once shrouded in complete mystery and impenetrable security, this investigative report provides an account of the annual meetings of the world’s most powerful people. the Bilderberg Group. Since its inception in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeek, the Bilderberg Group has been comprised of European prime ministers, American presidents, and the wealthiest CEOs of the world, all coming together to discuss the economic and political future of humanity. The press has never been allowed to attend, nor have statements ever been released on the attendees' conclusions or discussions, which have ramifications on the citizens of the world. Using methods that resemble the spy tactics of the Cold War—and in several instances putting his own life on the line—the author did what no one else has managed to achieve. He learned what was being said behind the closed doors of the opulent hotels and has made it available to the public for the first time. This book is an excellent insight into the workings of the secret world government. The author does an excellent job of exposing how government ministers, former and future heads of government secretly meet with top banks and CEO's of the worlds largest companies annually plot the way of the world for the coming years and decades. This book reveals all and will bring you up to speed on who really controls world affairs, bearing in mind its explosive subject matter. A must read. While those within the Bilderberg Group have not yet total control of the world, they have the power to manipulate world events that will lead to their ultimate goal of their New World Order via through the UN. Get to know who your New World Order Masters will be. As for me, I am just looking forward to build my log cabin among natures wilderness and leave all this behind me.

Police had advise to stay off the roads on Sunday due to snow squall warning for Sault Ste. Marie area. An intense snow squall was moving in from Lake Superior. We only received a bit of snow and nothing much more. Unlike southern Ontario who had another snow squall yesterday which hit hard in the Barrie and Owen Sound areas. Schools were closed today in Owen Sound after a weather-related shutdown of all roads in Grey County. We received an extreme cold weather alert for all of Ontario yesterday. Bone-chilling temperatures was announced for our area. Those people who have to work or venture outside are going to feel it cold today. Despite all that Global Warming hype coming from those "enviornmental extreemists", a frigid Arctic air mass combined with brisk winds will bring sone severe winter weather across much of Northern Ontario. There is a wind chill warning of minus 40 C to minus 45 C this morning. Wind chills are expected to slowly improve later today as winds gradually start to diminish with an approaching high pressure ridge and the temperature rises a little under the strengthening February sun. The nastiest wind chills is expected in Nunavut communities like Baker Lake and Cambridge Bay. Temperatures there will feel like -55 C. Environment Canada warned exposed flesh could freeze within two minutes under those conditions. I see in the news that the Harper government confirmed today that the next federal budget will be tabled on Feb. 26th, 2008. Looks like we may have a spring election after all. Harper was determined to force an election. Well, he might just get it now, from the way the politicians on Capital Hill are chomping on their bits at the political race starting gate.

Feb,13th. 2008; Well, nobody can accuse what goes on in the House of Commons as being dull. There was a dramatic walkout in the House of Commons yesterday. The Liberals got up and left the House chambers when the Conservative government tabled a motion calling for the Senate to pass an omnibus crime bill. The Liberals have accused the Tories of playing politics with the bill. They say the Senators are only doing their job by fully analyzing the bill. They claim the Senators have not had much time to consider its details since they returned from break late last month. Liberal House Leader Ralph Goodale told CTV's Mike Duffy Live that Senators will act responsibly, hold the appropriate meetings, and deny the Tories' argument about a delay -- "because there is none." The NDP accused the Liberals are playing games, just like the Tories. British Columbia MP Libby Davies said her party took a firm stand against the Tories by voting against their motion -- but the Liberals decided to remain on the sidelines by walking out.

While our politicians are playing football with that "omnibus crime bill", the Ontario Provincial Police have announced the arrest of 22 people in what's being called the largest child pornography investigation in the province's history. "Child pornography is the sexual abuse of children, a brutal crime committed by despicable predators," OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino told a news conference today in Toronto about raids carried out Monday by the OPP and 18 municipal police forces. "Today's successful announcement has taken weeks of legwork by dozens of members of the provincial strategy to protect children," he said. "Fair warning to pedophiles: You can run, but you can't hide. And sooner or later, we will identify you, we'll arrest you, and we'll bring you to justice." The probe began in January. Twenty-five search warrants were executed in 16 communities. A total of 73 criminal charges have been laid. Most of the offenders are males, with their ages ranging from 20 to 64. One female has been charged, as has one young offender. Most have been charged with either possessing child pornography and/or making child pornography available. More arrests are pending and police continue to investigate, the OPP said. At least someone is doing what is right about protecting children from those despicable child predators. Pin a medal on these police officers for the work they are doing.

The Senate has passed changes to the bill on national security certificates, just days before a court-imposed deadline. The upper chamber gave the bill on national security certificates third reading after a special committee rushed it through hearings with the caveat that it would like to continue studying the controversial tools. The old regime allowed indefinite detention and eventual removal from the country based on secret intelligence presented to a judge behind closed doors, with few details ever disclosed to defendants. The new law would improve bail procedures and permit special, security-cleared lawyers to attend the secret hearings, challenge government evidence and protect the rights of the accused. Critics say the changes don't go far enough and maintain that the new regime is also likely to be overturned as a violation of the Charter of Rights.

I had the occasion to hear a radio interview about a person who had a great many UFO encounters. After listening to one of Jim Spark interview about his alien abductions, I found a lot of problems with his tale, that I can only conclude that it is just that, a forged, fictitious tale he dredged up from many other people's sources. His book, "The Keepers": An Alien Message for the Human Race, attest to that. In a special 5-hour show, Art Bell conducted a 4-hour interview with Jim Sparks, who discussed his eighteen years as an alien abductee. Sparks, whose conscious recall experiences are documented in his book, The Keepers, explained that he initially resisted being abducted, but gradually shifted into a mode of cooperation. His main encounters, telepathic in nature, were with two types of Grays; (reptoid aliens), one type he referred to as "true" Grays that were biological beings. The other type of Gray, a shorter entity known as a "worker," was half-robotic. Sparks claimed that the aliens' harvesting of human reproductive material is used to make the worker Grays. Good try, but you do not get a prize, Jim! He goes on to say that the large eyes of the Grays are capable of absorbing energy, not unlike solar panels, he added. One of the key messages they shared with him: humanity is killing the Earth via environmental damage. That; "Your air and your water are contaminated. Your forests, jungles, trees and plant life are dying. There are several breaks in your food chain. You have an amount of nuclear and biological weapons which include nuclear and biological contamination. Your planet is overpopulated. Warning: It is almost to the point of being too late unless your people act now. There are better ways of deriving your energy and food needs without causing your planet any damage. Those in power are aware of this and have the capability to put these methods into worldwide use". Now where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, The UN Global Warming crowd; On one occasion, Sparks said he was allowed to view a stunning alien craft that he described as the size of four big houses. Inside a windowed dome he saw humans and ETs moving about. He reported seeing US military personnel aboard a spacecraft, and believes that secretive black budget elements of the government have cut deals with the aliens. Yeah Right! Now this one must be one of Jim's own invention. Sparks said he's also had encounters with "Reptilians," that were covered with scaly, reptile skin. Some of whom are 9-10 ft. tall, with red pupils and a oversized brain, housed in a skull that hangs out over their eyes. Where did Jim get that idea from, his Christian bible? His tale about his many "alien" abductions brings up more questions and doubts than the answers he provides in his claims about his so-called alien abductions. Jim Sparks says he has 95% conscious recall of these events which occurred to him frequently over an 18-year period. That part is true given that he made all this up, and has mentally memorized his story very well. After eight years "of being close enough to breath their rotten-egg-smelling skin," Sparks thinks he has some insights into the alien agenda, but admits he has "a thousand more questions than answers." He is frustrated that he cannot prove his contacts with alien beings. This guy is a Christian and his tales about his alien abductions are as phony as his religion. Personally, I would take what he says as a good camp fire yarn and nothing more. I can see through this persons little scam as he was relating his tale to the person who was interviewing him about his phony alien abductions. He sounds just like many of those self-eggrandizing hucksters that are out there to make a buck with his book that people are foolish enough to buy.

What with the Democratic presidential race going on in the U.S.A. and we might be heading into an election this spring, I could not help wonder if our voting system in Canada is anything like that of the U.S.A. In that it do not make any real difference which of our political parties people vote for, when their leaders are all under the control of the "powers that be"? As in the U.S.A. when the Democratic presidential race is too close to call, the nomination could be decided by an elite group of party insiders and elected officials known as the "super-delegates," reigniting controversy about just how democratic the party selection process really is. While most of the 4,049 Democratic delegates are assigned proportionately based on how well a candidate does in a state's primary or caucus, 794 of them, nearly a fifth, can swing to any candidate they want. And if all that doesn't work,,, there's always the Super Delegates to cancel out your vote. The voting "system" works, not for you, or the people, but for others who can control their interests through controlling politicians. This is why a candidate can win the popular vote (the vote of the people) and yet lose the election to another candidate the "super-delegates," have chosen to be the next U.S. President. Remember the old Russian saying; Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything. ( Joseph Stalin ). In most years, when the party's nominee emerges early, the super-delegates are mostly irrelevant when the majority of the people vote for a candidate they actually want to win. Like the U.S.A. voting system, I wonder who pulls the strings here in Canada to swing the votes where ever they want? I am sure our major News Media can answer that question, being that they play a big part in swinging people's mind as to who people plan to vote for. Frankly; I really do not know who I will vote for this time around, for Twildle-dee, Twildle-doo, Twiddle-dum or Twiddle-dugh, for I do not trust any of the parties that will run in this election. During this upcoming election, I will be watching which political party will come out and say that they will kill that damnable "notwithstanding" clause that strips all Canadians of their equal rights and freedoms at the whim of any Provincial or Federal Government. The notwithstanding clause which states; Section 33(1) of the Charter of Rights which permits Parliament or a provincial legislature to adopt legislation to override section 2 of the Charter which contains such fundamental rights as freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of association and freedom of assembly, and sections 7-15 of the Charter containing the right to life, liberty and security of the person, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, freedom from arbitrary arrest or detention, the right to equality, and a number of other legal rights. Who will pull our troops out of Afghanistan, and which party will increase funding for the increase staffing for OLTCA member health care homes. (I will talk about this topic soon). Otherwise, when it comes to voting this time around, I might just sit this one out.

According to CTV News and the Globe and Mail; The U.S. is launching a diplomatic offensive to meet the growing threat to its energy security from powerful and increasingly wealthy producers who are flexing their new geopolitical muscles. Faced with oil-related challenges on a number of fronts from Venezuela to countries of the former Soviet Union. Bush's lap dog, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wedmesday that she will appoint a special envoy for energy issues to deal with countries that use their oil and gas for political means. Her action underscores the growing concern about security of energy supplies in the United States, and the shrinking pool of reserves available to multinational corporations as producing countries put their resources in the hands of national oil companies. But the U.S. government's more explicit support for giant oil companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp. could backfire, as producing countries see it as further evidence that the American government is as prone to geopolitical maneuverings over energy as anyone else.

The silly cartoons of Muhammad had sparked protests worldwide by Muslims when they were published two years ago in Western newspapers. One of the silly cartoons showed Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse, which rightly depicts Muslims with their suicide bombs and fanatical bomb attacks on people who do not espouse to their pagan religion of hatred and violence. The Edmonton Muslim Council had launched a complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission. The former publisher of the Western Standard said he is going to sue the Calgary Muslim leader who filed a human rights complaint against him for publishing what became the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons. The Muslim cleric, Syed Soharwardy, president of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, said he withdrew the complaint he had launched against Levant in 2006 with the Alberta Human Rights Commission. Soharwardy told journalists on Wednesday that he dropped the complaint because he has a better appreciation of how valuable free speech is in Canada. Levant said despite the withdrawn complaint from Soharwardy, he's still facing a complaint launched by the Edmonton Muslim Council. He is also vowing to sue the cleric to recover tens of thousands of dollars he claims he spent battling the complaint. "Not only am I going to finish this human rights complaint and win it, but I'm going to launch a lawsuit against Soharwardy for abuse of process," Levant said. "That's basically when you use a government agency for a lawsuit, for frivolous and vexatious purposes to punish someone." Levant rejected Soharwardy's reasoning, insisting that the Muslim cleric just wants the bad publicity to go away. If Muslims can not abide by our Canadian way of doing things and our use of free speech, then they had better beat it back to their Muslim countries where they have no free speech. It is time that we no longer try to bend backwards trying to accommodate these people of hate and violence and their Muslim practices here in Canada. If any Muslims can not become fully Canadian, then get the heck out of our freedom loving country! I get a lot of flack from those pagan Christians with their phony, man-made god, Je-Zeus Christ, here in Canada and especially from the U.S.A. But you do not see me running to the Human Rights Commission about it. I have faith that TRUTH itself, will vindicate me.

Investigators (Bridgewater police) has confirmed today that the body which was found on the snowy shores of the LaHave River was that of the missing 12-year-old girl, Karissa Boudreau. Karissa had an argument with her mom at Sobeys supermarket at the local Mall the day she had disappeared. "We're looking at a homicide here," RCMP Const. Grant Webber told reporters. Police would not say how Karissa died or when, or whether she was killed at the spot where her body was found last Saturday outside the small Nova Scotia town. However, the police are calling Karissa's death an "isolated incident," and said Bridgewater residents should feel safe in their community. Police would not say how Karissa had died or when, or whether she was killed at the spot where her body was found outside the small Nova Scotia town. Penny Boudreau, Karissa's mother, had said she and her daughter had argued in the parking lot of the Sobeys supermarket on Jan. 27, 2008 and when she returned to the car a short time later, found that Karissa was gone. Two days later, Boudreau made a public plea for her daughter to return home or call. She said Karissa was only wearing light clothing at the time. Karissa's photograph was widely distributed. Police said they were following up on a number of tips, but none led to the missing girl. Two aerial searches and an underwater search of the LaHave River near Sobeys, had turned up no sign of her. It was late Saturday morning when a passerby had found Karissa body on the outskirts of town. Collyer said Thursday the body was on the same side of the river and "within walking distance" of where Karissa lived. He also said there had been no ground search of that area. Police said they have no suspects at this point in time.
