A Speech by the Respected Financier and Arms Dealer, Mr. Unctuous Evil

A Speech by the Respected Financier and Arms Dealer, Mr. Unctuous Evil
By Stephen J. Gray

“ Dear Friends, I see there are many eminent persons, politicians, leaders of governments, honorable persons, members of the international community, dictators, despots oops, I mean authoritarians gathered here today.

“We are assembled to discuss the state of the world. Despite all the gloom and doom being reported, I have to say things are going well in the weapons industry. This so-called recession has not hurt us one bit. We are still selling arms to dictators and despots, pardon me, I mean respected authoritarian regimes. We are also supplying both sides in wars and we are still making massive profits.” (Mr. Evil pauses while massive applause takes place.)

“War is a profitable business except for those who die in it. Killing and slaughter, oops, I mean collateral damage can never be avoided. I mean, just look at Libya, we sold all kinds of bombs and missiles to its dictator who is now our enemy, but it is still a win, win situation for our business of death. We are bombing Libya non-stop, and taxpayers will pick up the tab, but it is a humanitarian mission even though we are killing civilians and little children. Bombs and missiles don’t discriminate and mistakes can be made, but we do offer apologies. Anyway these missile attacks are surgical strikes, though some innocent patients die, and when this is all over we will inscribe a memorial to their memory.

“One must never forget we are involved in a humanitarian mission. We are bringing democracy to some places and helping keep dictators in power in other places, but this is not a perfect world, and dare I say thank goodness for that. (a number of hear, hears are heard and some more applause takes place) The beauty of our business is we never have to go to the front lines or wear combat gear. We are the planners and plotters who make things happen. We are the humanitarians of the planet ever ready to do our duty. Of course duty comes with a price, and our price is ever increasing profits. But, surely making money off bloody death and destruction is an honorable profession? After all, somebody has to do it and who better than us?

“We have an impeccable record in this world of deceit, lies, disinformation, treason and treachery. Some people are even saying that some of us are war criminals. Still, one cannot please everybody and some of us have been known to get a Nobel Peace Prize, so we can’t all be that bad. (applause takes place and a standing ovation ensues)

“Out of evil comes good, the Libya situation is a good example. When it’s over we will help rebuild the country, we will sell arms to the next leader of the country. The oil will still be there for us to help manage and the money and gold that the dictator entrusted to us is safe in the hands of our respected bankers. Though, I must admit one of our trusted financial institutions did manage to lose over a billion dollars of his money. But hey, who ever said the price of doing business investing was always profitable. Still, never mind, at least we know his money is somewhere safe in our financial system. The only monetary losers are the Libyan people. Oh well, at least we are performing a humanitarian service for them with our bombing mission, and what could be more caring and profitable than that? Thank you and God Bless us all as we continue our humanitarian work.”

The Liberal Party, oops I mean “Conservative” Party Win a Majority Government

The Liberal Party, oops I mean “Conservative” Party Win a Majority Government
By Stephen J. Gray

“The Globe and Mail published its editorial endorsement on Wednesday, saying, ‘Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party are best positioned to guide Canada’ into a new period of global ambition.” [1] ( CBC News, April 29, 2011)

Wow. Isn’t that something the liberal Globe and Mail endorsing “conservatives.” Does this mean that the country still has liberals in power albeit they call themselves “conservatives?” But hey, all power to the Red Tories, oops I mean “conservatives” they have been governing and acting like liberals for the last number of years and finally they have achieved success. Is all this talk about the Liberal Party being nearly dead, propaganda? Are they still alive only they call themselves “conservative?” Anyway, what’s in a name, by their actions you will know them as the saying goes, and certainly on moral issues there is no difference between any of the parties. But hey, who needs or wants morality in politics? Just promise the serfs all kinds of goodies with their own tax dollars then punish them after getting elected. Around 40% of the people refuse to participate in this political con game. Perhaps, they are the wise ones who still have some concept of morality and refuse to compromise their principles.

Principles mean that one stands for something. So where does the Liberal Government, oops I mean “conservative” government stand on morality? On the greatest moral issue of our time the killing of the child in the womb by abortion all parties boast they are in favor of this continuing slaughter. In fact, our democracy challenged Prime Minister is on record as saying. “As long as I am prime minister we are not opening the abortion debate…” (Stephen Harper quoted in Globe and Mail, April 21, 2011). One would think in a so-called “democracy” any issue would be up for debate, but it appears this is not so in “democratic” Canada. Have we given a majority government to a dictator? And on the issue of free speech Mr. Harper’s “conservative” government intervened with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) and other powerful groups against it.

“The Attorney General of Canada, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre and B'nai Brith Canada will be intervening in the Lemire case in support of Section 13, arguing that it is a reasonable restriction on freedom of speech” (Canadian Constitution Foundation Letter of April 28, 2008)

Mr. Harper is on record as saying this about Human Rights Commissions:
“Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society … It is, in fact, totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff” (Stephen Harper) [2]

Here is Mr. Harper speaking on “conservative values.”
“Individual freedom is something Conservatives value…
"What exactly are those conservative values?
I think we all instinctively recognize them when we see them, although it is sometimes difficult to define them. I like to summarize my idea of conservatism in three "Fs" --freedom, family and faith.”
Stephen Harper
{National Post, April 30, 2009.) [3]

Oh well, at least Mr. Harper says he believes in “freedom” though, I believe, by his actions and words he contradicts himself. Still, the liberal Globe and Mail endorsed him as did most other newspapers in the country. Yet, these newspapers are always trumpeting their support for free speech. Dare one call most of them hypocrites? Because not one of them, I am aware of, has raised the issue of Mr. Harper’s dictatorial quote on abortion. Imagine if he had said: “As long as I am prime minister we are not opening debate on the killing of ducks on Alberta Tar Sands.” Imagine the furore this would have caused!

But hey, he did speak out on “dead ducks” even though he refuses debate on dead and slaughtered babies by abortion.
CTV news of May 2, 2008. had this headline:
“Canada's image hurt by oilsands duck deaths: PM” the article went on to quote PM Harper as saying: "I'm not here to make any excuses for the particular event that occurred over the last few days. It is a terrible event. It is not going to do anybody's image any good,...'' [4]

Oh well, at least ducks appear to have more sympathy from the P.M. than the terrible events of slaughtered humans murdered by abortion. Anyway, as I said earlier, liberals should take heart. I believe, liberal ideology still holds power even though those in power call themselves “conservative.” So Liberals should not despair, if the Globe and Mail can endorse Mr. Harper surely all is well in Liberal Land under a “conservative government?” A final comment for those “true believers” who kept saying “wait until Harper gets a majority.” The quote below is for you.

“Our agenda is the same agenda with a majority government or a minority government,”
(Stephen Harper quoted in National Post, April 4,2011) [5]

An Update on The New World Order

An Update on The New World Order


The international elites are holding their yearly conference in one of the offshore tax havens. Mr. Juan Elitist is this year’s respected speaker. His speech begins.

“First of all let me say welcome to the international community gathered here today. You are the crème de la crème of the world community and the real rulers of the earth today. Oh sure, many of the masses elect politicians but we, the unelected, advise the politicians. Still, democracy is a wonderful system, though I am sure our dictator and despot friends, oops, I mean authoritarian friends amongst us would beg to differ. But hey, the end result is the same, we hold the power and the power is us. ( much applause ensues and squeals and shrieks of approval are heard from the eminent persons, statesmen, stateswomen, respected financiers and business oligarchs in the audience.)

“Power and money go hand in hand and handling money is not for simpletons. It takes respected bankers to handle money a good example is one of our most respected financial firms. They came out of the recession unscathed, thanks to a bailout of taxpayers’ dollars. Still, I must say I wonder how they managed to lose nearly one hundred percent of one of our former dictator friend’s money after he invested with them. It wasn’t peanuts either, over 1 Billion dollars according to one report. Still, they did offer to turn him into one of their major investors, and surely that was a good business solution to the problem. This is a firm, whose boss has said they are doing God’ work, and surely there is no higher calling than that? There was only one disgusting note to this episode of free enterprise investing of a dictator’s money. Our reputable and respected financial firm received threats and had to get some security for itself before it left the dictator’s country. I ask you what is the world coming too? The sooner we get rid of this ungrateful guy the better. Anyway, I am sure our former dictator friend’s money is somewhere in our system so it will not go to waste. Meanwhile, we are now wasting our old friend’s country with massive bombing raids and missiles or as one simple politician put it planes “dropping their ordinances.” I have to admit that does sound better than bombing them back to the stone age. Still, we have wonderful air support from our National Air Terror Organization (NATO) sanctioned by our Gang of Eight (G8.), oops I mean governments of eight. It is a humanitarian mission to save the people, of course some people including children are being slaughtered but this is only collateral damage and they are surgical strikes, and eventually after our old dictator friend goes we can go about re-building his country. I am sure some of you are already preparing bids on the rebuilding process and others will want to help out with the country’s oil business.

“Our business of ruling the world is coming to fruition. I mean, who would have believed that nearly all those countries in Europe would agree to a European Parliament and one currency called the Euro. It just shows what can be done by not asking most of the people whether they want this type of governing system. Still, it does help when we have pliable politicians prepared to sell out their national sovereignty for a seat in our world politburo. As I said earlier, our vision is happening before the eyes of the people and the people don’t see it. I always say, under the guise of a perimeter of national security one can impose anything. Soon, we will have a North American Union (NAU), and that along with the European Union (EU) brings our agenda of eventual World Union (WU) much closer. So you see good things are happening for us while the people are kept busy watching games and soap operas. Give the masses entertainment before enslavement, and dull their capacity to think and they don’t realize what is happening to them. Still, as long as their taxes keep rolling in to bail us out who would argue that we have the greatest system going for us. I’ll close for now, and let us all head to the hotel bar and raise a toast to the continuing success of our New World Order. (A standing ovation ensues and shouts of “three cheers for Juan Elitist are heard throughout the hotel.)
