Very true, no?

But that is exactly what the Harpercons do, they imagine their facts.

Harpercon fact-tasy: CRIME! all da'time! The Law'n'order party tells all who will listen that crime has TRIPLED in the last 30 years! They like to scare the piss out of those who are too lazy to ask actual questions or look up the actual numbers......At election time.

Fact: Crime is down, and has been going down for years. When that news came out again last week, they just shifted their narrative to say that that is because no one reports crime, or that the police just simply do not lay charges. (Which of course is wrong, even according to the police.)
Again, with no proof. But as an interesting aside, what will the Harpercon apologists now do without any statscan information to twist and turn? Rely on Madame Flaherty's cracked crystal ball?

Then they spent almost a Billion on the circus, known as the G20.  With no actual credible threats detected, they manufactured fear, with some most willing helpers to justify it all, of course. Documentation ongoing.

Nothing to see here! Move along.......

UPDATE: Adding last nights special comment from Keith Olbermann.

This whole story that unfolded in the US in the last two days is actually very important to watch. And to learn from. Recall Kory the Tory's little project over at Sun/Quebecor Media Inc?

So I posted this a couple weeks ago.

I noticed some odd registration requests coming the last day or so, but since real life is bizzy, I just havent made them active. (and now that I know whats up, I probably won't bother anyway. Lots of fake and temporary emails.)

So I followed one referring link, and lo and behold someone is sayin that we is all on a witchhunt against the po' little black bloc idjits that trashed the cop cars and some windows and shit at the G20...

Oh my goodness. I'll give a blanket response here. Okies?

These sorts do the same crap over and over again at world summits and other things like the Owelympics...., and the only thing it seems to do is give the other morons running the show (Cops and government) a carte blanche to crush and destroy those who are legitimately protesting, with the public opinion to support it.  It gives them some justification (although illegal and immoral) to arrest and detain those who are just walking on the street, or just shopping even.

A game.......

Use bubbles LOADED with harsh detergent to blast the G20 thugs! They may even get red eyes!

Starring Occifer Bubbles, Harpertwit, Premier Mcguilty, and Chief Bully Blair.
Good luck!
Just a bit of a laugh. Wonder if Occifer Bubbles is on trash duty today? Personally, I think working for the sanitation dept may be more up his alley.

Yes. We do know how to spell caucus.

But we also like to show reciprocal respect, and to be honest, are you feeling anything but contempt emitting from the CPoC?

This weeks liar liar pants on fire award goes to:

Tony Clement.

OTTAWA - Embattled Industry Minister Tony Clement says the decision to replace next year's mandatory long census with a voluntary questionnaire stemmed from recommendations made to him by Statistics Canada.

But multiple sources are telling The Canadian Press that is not exactly what happened. The sources say Statistics Canada made no recommendations and only came up with policy options because they were asked to do so by Clement.

Back in the 1950's a nature film by Disney depicted Lemmings committing mass suicide jumping over cliffs in Norway. It was debunked later, the filmmakers actually herded the little buggers to their probable deaths on the cliffs and into the icy ocean below.

But "Lemmings" in a metaphorical sense do exist, and they vote conservative.

Despite all evidence to the contrary they vote for the worst policies for a country and a society. They do it even when they can see that it has caused millions of bodies to wash up on the shores of economic destruction.

Probably not, he was an old rich white dude in a bad suit.
Girl at the G20 gets arrested.......for blowing bubbles.
All caught on camera, including the bad attitude and stoopid of the Toronto Police dept.

Just one of the many stories of shit'n'abuse.

It was "financial difficulties".
Ezra Irrelevant decided to take umbrage to something that James Bowie(correction, it was Monty Karl, at Bowie's blog) said on his blog today. Hilarity.

Ezra Levant was one of the biggest blowhards on this issue and loved to tout it. In between libel suits and bankrupting right-wing publications, he would use this as a way to deny climate-change. I wonder if he'll be commenting on this now...

So, Ezra.....says....

Hi there. I know that pretty much no-one other than you and your mom reads your blog, but nonetheless I think it's important for me to correct your false statement that I bankrupted the magazine I used to run. (You say "magazines", plural, but I've only run one magazine, called the Western Standard.)

Ok.Record straightening time.

The machine is of our own making.

 

 

The complexities of society and different chains of command. The food chain, the fossil fuels that power our conveniences and the things that distract us so that we do not think too hard about how absolutely precarious it all truly is.

We are to be obedient to the machine, as we saw just over a week ago in Toronto. As has happened all over the industrialized world.

Rage against the machine is punished severely so that it will tamp down further dissent so the machine will be protected through fear.

And apathy. Some would rather remain quiet so as not to rock the machine. The machine is infinite they believe. They honestly think that the earth and it's resources will just keep delivering like a cookie jar that never empties. 

So we had a little anniversary here at ACR a day ago.... Just been so crazy busy that I didn't have time to properly acknowledge that....

ACR turned three years old on July the 3rd.

Over 2000 posts, and just about 156,000 unique hits (IP's) on the special spooky hit counter.

That is pretty cool... I and Dr Prole have been kind of bizzy with life the last few months here, we will be back more often once things settle into some sort of rythym.

A tradition for ACR landmarks, Siouxsie & The Banshees...

 

 

New ACR video.

The Miami model. How to crush any form of dissent during world summits and the like. Extreme behaviour modification to also tamp down future protests for a well behaved, quiet, complacent citizenry....

Response to "stimulator here: Ohhh. Someone is pissed at us.....

 

A question asked by a FB friend today. She has posted these pics, gleaned from the youtube video of a police car getting trashed in Toronto last Saturday.

I think it is an excellent idea to find out!
The following 5 pictures were captured off the youtube video embedded below. If you do know who this man is, operators are standing by....Toronto Crime Stoppers - 416-222-TIPS

But share with others too.....Just in case the info gets lost eh? Tell all your friends. What is his name?

But we already suspected that.

They call it "misleading", which is PR speak for fucking liar. Someone had noticed that the 5 metre thing had been plucked from midair.

The 5 metre buffer zone is being used to protect the fence itself since the police want to ensure that no one has an opportunity to pull down the fence that is being used to separate the world's VIPs from the unwashed masses of Canadian society. I'd like to know who came up with the seemingly random distance of 5 metres since it appears nowhere in the Act. What happens if you stand precisely 6 metres from the fence; are you in violation of the Act? The Act also refers constantly to "public works". If you live in a condo that you own within the secure zone but require access through a publicly owned street, does the law still apply in the same fashion since the condo is obviously privately owned? If I thought that the fence was actually there to protect the VIPs from terrorists, I would feel somewhat differently but I believe that it exists solely to keep the "small people" (us) away from the "important people (them).

 

 

I wear a LOT of black.

Various reasons behind this:

• It can be slimming. (this is what I tell myself)
• It does not show stains. (I spill coffee a lot)
• I have a black cat and her hair does not show. (I also have a border collie for that monochromatic match)
•  Everything matches, instantly!
• It doesn't change my hair colour. (Very pale blonde hair will sometimes pick up certain colours reflected back. Green is the worst, pink ugh.)
• I like black. It is simple and not bizzy.

Does this all make me subversive? Really?

How many other people wear black, for their own reasons, in a free society?

But yanno, in Toronto right now, wearing black may get you harassed by the cops?
