An Imaginary Message from the Bunker
By Stephen J. Gray
"It would be our policy to use nuclear weapons wherever we felt it necessary to protect our forces and achieve our objectives."
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, Testimony to House Appropriations Committee, 1961
Hello out there. How are you all doing after the Big Blast? Well I hope! This message is from your Leader and other world leaders protecting your freedom. The latest news from our satellites and the space platform is not good. It appears there are huge fires all over the earth. Numerous cities have been destroyed and the oceans are boiling hot. Nuclear war has its consequences. Anyway not to worry, as far as we can gather from our intelligence info the enemy has been destroyed and freedom still reigns supreme.
Unfortunately millions upon millions are dead others who survived are contaminated and will die eventually. Here in the bunker we are in constant contact with the space platform who tells us what they see. Meantime, say a prayer for those on the space platform they are totally prisoners up there in the sky, because there is no way we can bring them back at this time. Our infrastructure for doing that has been destroyed. They are now heroes in space destined to be up there forever, a monument to man’s insanity, oops I mean bravery. Talking about bravery, any of you still alive out there in the contaminated earth, pat yourselves on the back for standing tall for freedom and democracy. You are the salt of the earth amongst its ashes.
Some of you still alive are perhaps wondering how we pass our time in the bunker. We have it fitted out just like home. We have a huge selection of movies, plenty of food and our chefs to cook it. It’s not exactly a blast down here, but we survive. But hey, that nuclear blast was bright and immensely powerful and set off a huge chain reaction around the planet. Thank goodness we were in the bunker. The really important people are here in the bunker. These are ones whose expertise will be needed to put it all back together when we can safely venture outside into the world once more. We also have a psychiatrist with us down here in case any mental disorders occur. We try to think of everything in this little world of ours.
Did I tell you we have been in contact with other leaders in other bunkers,’ some have reported in, but from others sadly nothing. Perhaps, they never survived. Oh well, there had to be some collateral damage. We will have a minutes silence for those leaders who never made it. But hey, that’s what leaders are for. Captains go down with their ships and some leaders go down in their bunkers. Does that make sense? Anyway, I’m sure you know what I mean.
Meantime, I ask all you people still alive and terribly burned and contaminated not to lose hope. Everything happens for a reason, and there is no greater reason in this world than saving democracy. Without democracy there is nothing worth living for and that is why I hit the send button. Watching it all here in the bunker on our closed circuit TV was missile heaven. I have never seen so many missiles flying across the sky. It was a heart warming display of man’s ingenuity. I have to admit watching all those missiles of freedom blast off was a proud moment. The bunker was a madhouse for a moment. Everybody cheered, and applauded some gave high fives, punched the air and shouted “yes.” Though one lone voice was heard to say, “What have we done?” There is always a doubter amongst the enthusiastic! Still, we know the system worked well. And we gave the enemy hell. We won the battle for freedom and that is surely what counts. I’ll close for now, have a nice day, if you can, keep the faith, don’t worry and remember your leader is here in the bunker and in control.

Coincidence or Planned Political Control?
Coincidence or Planned Political Control?
By Stephen J. Gray
“The nearly universal access to radio, television and increasingly the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions and envy that can be galvanized and channeled by demagogic political or religious passions. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy, on top of which America still perches.”[1]
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Recently here in Canada we have seen the furore over the proposed internet surveillance, Bill C-30.
But it is not only Canada that seems to have a proposed “Big Brother” watching over us. Other countries are immersed in watching and suppressing their citizens via legislation. A number of countries have signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) including Canada. Protests against ACTA have been happening in many European cities. The Guardian U.K. of February 13, 2012, stated there were, “protests in cities across the continent by tens of thousands of protesters” over ACTA. [2]
The EU Observer of 03.02.12 had the headline: “Battle lines drawn up in EU row on Acta” the article went on to state: “Parliament does not have the right to table amendments to Acta as it does on most other bills - as it is an international agreement - but instead has a single vote whether to approve the text or not.”
Strangely,though there does not appear to be much demonstrations against ACTA in Canada. Have the people been kept in the dark? Was it raised in the Canadian parliament before this “agreement” was signed?
“The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia Pacific Gateway, signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement on behalf of Canada on October 1, 2011 at a ceremony in Tokyo alongside Australia, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the United States.” [3]
The United States government has passed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) which many people say could turn the USA into a police state. And Canada has signed a, “Canada-U.S. perimeter security pact,” which makes one wonder: Could Canadian citizens face arrest under the NDAA since this pact is called “Beyond Borders?” The video link below describes the seriousness of this NDAA.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs04CGyFyUU
Another proposed piece of legislation was the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
The National Post of January 20, 2012 had the headline: “SOPA stopped after unprecedented online protests” Still, one has to ask the question: Is it coincidence that all this proposed legislation seems to be happening at around the same time and in different countries? But hey, we don’t have political conspiracies, do we? Of course not, we know we can trust our political leaders? And we know our leaders think that it is good for democracy that people around the world can interact almost instantly? After all they believe in free speech and free expression! Don’t they?
“For the first time in history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive….” [4] Zbigniew Brzezinski
It is true that people everywhere are able to interact instantly because of the internet. Only political dictators fear freedom and free peoples. There is no doubt the internet is a danger to those who have power and one wonders is this why the move is on to censor and spy on those using it? Does the “existing global hierarchy” feel threatened? Do they wish to have total control of us all? And are we now living in Orwell’s “Big Brother” world?
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time." George Orwell, 1984

The Return of the Alien (Part 2)
Note: I wrote the article below in 2007. SJG
The Return of the Alien (Part 2)
By Stephen J. Gray
I am beginning to feel quite at home on planet earth. We were wrong to think that “little green men” and women only existed in our outer space community. They are here on earth. Every day another politician or one of the “eminently knowledgeable persons” on earth proclaim that they are totally “green men and women.” The word green is everywhere and on everybody’s tongue.
Usually people here say to you “have a nice day.” But, the other day I encountered a person who said to me, “have a nice green day.” To which I replied: “You are Dr. Greeno, I presume?” “No,” he replied. “But, he is my green idol. I am a singer.” To which I replied, “You must be that chap who sings that lovely song: The green, green grass of home. “No.” he said. “But, I like grass.” Then he strode away laughing at some kind of joke only he knew about.
I thought to myself, what is the joke and why is he laughing? I am not aware that humans like grass. Then it dawned upon me, I had met a green dope smoker, a marijuana man, who was on his daily high and a user of this green plant.
Meanwhile, all across this “green” and beautiful land, the green politicians are distributing millions of “green dollars” to “save” mother earth. These millions come from the people’s tax monies. It appears there is plenty of money for “going green” but not very much money for the healthcare of people. People are treated as cows to be milked, except when the politicians are in an election campaign. Then they bribe the people with their own money in the hope of getting elected. Then once elected they milk the people again, and most of their political promises turn out to be lies. Still, it is a “good” system and the people get used, and used to it. This is known as political subjugation or being beaten after the ballot.
Some of the people accept their servitude with servile sincerity, and some even praise these political “green men and women” who lord it over them. These people could be called green masochists or grateful greenies. These grateful greenies do not mind being taxed to the max and the green politicians are so happy that they have these green “useful idiots” amongst the population.
In other news, the population in another country called the Unnatural Kingdom (UK) have been told by their political “leaders” that they will be paying a “green miles” tax if they travel by air. This could be known as the “airing of the green.” Though I hear some in the Unnatural Kingdom (UK) are calling it: “More political pollution from political asses.”
Anyway, these political green asses are in control and their emissions are choking the people. The people are being greened into submission by these little political “green men.”
In fact, one green politician in the Unnatural Kingdom (UK) has called for a green “new world order” to “address climate change.” Though some people are saying the only change needed is to get rid of nutty politicians. And another green political leader in the Unnatural Kingdom (UK) was reported to have “compared the fight against climate change to the battle against fascism.”
Meanwhile, in other Unnatural Kingdom (UK) news it is reported that: “Four-year-olds will get gay fairytales at school” and another U.K news report states that, Unnatural Kingdom “…scientists will be allowed to create part-human, part-animal embryos for research…”
This Unnatural Kingdom (UK) is really going to the dogs or should that be man-dogs now that they are about to “create part-human, part-animal” life.
Life here on earth is getting loonier and loonier, madness has become a virtue and sanity a vice. I am inclined to think there must be a green virus here eating the brain cells of the so-called rulers. This concludes my second report. Till next time I am your faithful alien servant.

The Return of the Alien (Part 1)
By Stephen Gray
It has been three years since I filed a report on the state of the earth. Therefore, my government in outer space has asked me to return to earth, and update them on some of the latest happenings. After much research by me, here is my report to the outer space community.
The people of the earth are still immersed in wars against each other. The victims of these wars are men, women and children. It is the children who suffer the most in all this warfare and killing. The killing is not only done in wars. The people of the earth are not averse to killing their young while these innocents are still in their mothers wombs. They call this atrocity, abortion or “choice.” Millions of innocents in their mothers wombs are killed yearly under the banner of “choice.”
The consequences of killing millions by “choice,” over many years, has resulted in a shortage of workers, which is now showing up in their economic systems. Though, nobody amongst the elites here on earth will admit that this is the cause. Instead they call this lack of workers the results of “low fertility.” I find this corruption of words quite common here. Nothing means what it is supposed to mean anymore. They camouflage the language to impose unnatural agendas.
For instance, the last time I was here in this place, they were discussing and promoting an issue called “same-sex marriage.” This has now come to fruition. This parody was imposed by three judges, who used to be lawyers. These lawyers who become judges are the real rulers in this country. The politicians did make a law on this after the judges made their decision. They call this rule by appointed lawyers oops I mean judges, the “benefit” of living in a “democracy.”
“Democracy” is enacted in this country every few years. The people are allowed to vote in an election. During this election campaign the politicians of all political stripes promise the people all kinds of good things from the peoples own money, if only they will vote for them. Once elected to office, they punish the people for voting for them, and tax them into submission. As I noted earlier, they call this “democracy.”
This “democracy” in this country is ruled by a document called “the Charter.” The people did not get to vote on whether they wanted this “charter.” It was imposed upon them by the political elites of the day. Yet, very few people here ask the question: “How can this document be legitimate when the people were not allowed to vote individually on its acceptance?” Still, as I noted earlier, they call this “democracy.”
In this “democracy,” drugs are supposed to be illegal. Yet, they give out “free needles” (paid for by taxpayers) to those who want to shoot up dope. The dopes in power even allow, what they call, “safe injection sites,” (paid for by taxpayers) where some of the addicts go to inject this illegal dope into their bodies. One would think a better and more healthy way to help, and clean up these people, would be to take them off the streets and put them into forcible treatment.( They do that with those who have TB). But, that would be against their “human rights.”
“Human rights” are big in this country (except for the children in their mothers wombs, they have none) and a whole bureaucracy revolves around “rights.” They have tribunals called "Human Rights Commissions" and anybody who feels discriminated against lodges a complaint with them. Rights have become an industry for the politically correct. If you are not politically correct you can be in trouble. So people must watch their language.
The language here has certain code words. For example when you don’t like something, or if somebody is critical of you, it is good advice to call or accuse that person of being a scab, racist, homophobic, mean spirited, intolerant, bigoted, sexist and hateful. Or accuse them of lookism, ageism or any other "ism" you can think of. There are many more similar words, but these are the key words used to smear people and ensure that your rights are protected even if you are wrong. People run for cover when these words are used against them.
Anyhow, I must close for the moment. I am living quite close to the office of the Human Rights Police (HRP) and they could be watching me. My next report will be issued when I feel more secure. I have so much information on the happenings in this place that it will take some time to document it all. In the meantime, I have applied for welfare under my phony social insurance number and hope to collect my due at the end of the month. Till next time, I am your faithful alien servant.

Consorting with Communists
Consorting with Communists
By Stephen J. Gray
“The biggest beneficiary of the trade deficit with China and unemployment in the USA is big business in both America and China. For many years, these businesses have voluntarily defended the interests of the Chinese Communist party.” [1]
Wei Jingshen
Does the above comment by a Chinese dissident also apply to Canada?
We see a supposed “conservative” Prime Minister consorting with a communist dictatorship. (One thought only “left wingers” did that?) His speeches spread the message that this is a “strategic partnership.” Most of the corporate “free enterprise” media swoon over this communist partnership and tell the masses how wonderful it is. Meanwhile, big business accompanies this “conservative” and they all are seeking business opportunities in this land of the dictatorship. This is a land that has been known to use slave labour has exported poisoned goods and where many workers have committed suicide due to the bad working conditions. Where women are coerced into forced abortions and people have been tortured for showing dissent.
“The fact is, that in the two decades since visits were resumed after the Tiananmen massacre, China’s respect for human rights has diminished, and the situation is worsening by the day, with arbitrary arrests, disappearances, draconian sentences for expressing the slightest criticism, and lethal fire on demonstrators in Tibetan areas.” [2]
Patrick Brown, Global National
What does this say about the ethics, morality and principles of the “conservatives” and their leader, and the Big business leaders who travel with him? Have they no shame? Who would want to be associated with people who treat their citizens like slaves? Suppress their freedoms and spy on their every move. It seems our “great leader” and his business associates have no qualms about doing so. Yet this is the same Mr. Harper. who says, “I believe very strongly that in this world you have to have values…” (CBC News, February 11, 2012)Yeah sure, that’s why you are consorting with dictators. Nice “values” you have!
Meanwhile, some of the “free enterprise” business men around the world have shut down plants in democratic countries and opened up businesses in the communist dictatorship. Some of the big multinationals were bailed out with tax-payers money. And some of them have plants in the communist country. Ah, the morals of the marketplace! Is it any wonder more and more people have a low opinion of politicians and big business. People should be asking themselves this question: If politicians and multinational corporations have no qualms about “partnerships” with dictators, would these same people attempt to bring this type of modus operandi to democratic countries?
“With our partners and customers, we are building our future in Greater China.”
Caterpillar [3]
Recently we saw the giant multi-national Caterpillar asking workers in Canada to take a 50% wage cut. The workers refused. Caterpillar shut the plant down. Caterpillar has big investments in China, as does General Motors and General Motors were bailed out with tax-payers dollars, as was Caterpillar. One wonders will the Caterpillar workers get a bailout? After all, some of their taxes helped bail out General Motors and Caterpillar. Oh don’t be silly you can’t bail working people out, that’s only for bankers and multi-national corporations. The National Review Online had this headline: “The Fed Bailout of GE, Caterpillar and Deutsche Bank (To Name a Few)” the article went on to state:
“The Fed’s efforts to prop up the financial sector reached across a broad spectrum of the economy, benefiting stalwarts of American industry including General Electric and Caterpillar and household-name companies such as Verizon, Harley-Davidson and Toyota.” [4]
I believe what we are seeing today is an appalling disgrace. Money and profits count far more than corporate and political ethics. They do not seem to care who they rub shoulders with as long as there is money to be made. People are exploited, tortured and abused in this communist system and the multi-national elites and their puppet politicians are signing deals without much debate. Bypassing parliaments and I believe undermining national sovereignty. Nobody knows what the end result of all this “strategic partnerships” will be, do they? But hey, we all know we can trust Big Business and politicians. Don’t we? Oh well, at least we are getting two Pandas on loan, (Oh, what am I saying, it has been reported it will cost us “$1 million a year”) that should make everybody happy?

“The biggest beneficiary of the trade deficit with China and unemployment in the USA is big business in both America and China. For many years, these businesses have voluntarily defended the interests of the Chinese Communist party.” [1]
Wei Jingshen
Does the above comment by a Chinese dissident also apply to Canada?
We see a supposed “conservative” Prime Minister consorting with a communist dictatorship. (One thought only “left wingers” did that?) His speeches spread the message that this is a “strategic partnership.” Most of the corporate “free enterprise” media swoon over this communist partnership and tell the masses how wonderful it is. Meanwhile, big business accompanies this “conservative” and they all are seeking business opportunities in this land of the dictatorship. This is a land that has been known to use slave labour has exported poisoned goods and where many workers have committed suicide due to the bad working conditions. Where women are coerced into forced abortions and people have been tortured for showing dissent.
“The fact is, that in the two decades since visits were resumed after the Tiananmen massacre, China’s respect for human rights has diminished, and the situation is worsening by the day, with arbitrary arrests, disappearances, draconian sentences for expressing the slightest criticism, and lethal fire on demonstrators in Tibetan areas.” [2]
Patrick Brown, Global National
What does this say about the ethics, morality and principles of the “conservatives” and their leader, and the Big business leaders who travel with him? Have they no shame? Who would want to be associated with people who treat their citizens like slaves? Suppress their freedoms and spy on their every move. It seems our “great leader” and his business associates have no qualms about doing so. Yet this is the same Mr. Harper. who says, “I believe very strongly that in this world you have to have values…” (CBC News, February 11, 2012)Yeah sure, that’s why you are consorting with dictators. Nice “values” you have!
Meanwhile, some of the “free enterprise” business men around the world have shut down plants in democratic countries and opened up businesses in the communist dictatorship. Some of the big multinationals were bailed out with tax-payers money. And some of them have plants in the communist country. Ah, the morals of the marketplace! Is it any wonder more and more people have a low opinion of politicians and big business. People should be asking themselves this question: If politicians and multinational corporations have no qualms about “partnerships” with dictators, would these same people attempt to bring this type of modus operandi to democratic countries?
“With our partners and customers, we are building our future in Greater China.”

Harper “not interested” in an “abortion law”
Harper “not interested” in an “abortion law”
By Stephen J. Gray
“What I say to people, if you want to diminish the number of abortions, you've got to change hearts and not laws. And I'm not interested in having a debate over abortion law” Stephen Harper [1]
Surely the above remarks by the prime minister of Canada are stupid if not cowardly?
Imagine if he had said: “I am not interested in having a debate over a law on the environment, gay rights, public safety etc.” The media would have been on his case right away. Cries of dictator and an affront to democracy would no doubt be heard. Yet, this man the ruler of Canada can blithely state, “I'm not interested in having a debate over abortion law.” What does that say about the state of democracy in this country? Surely, any issue should be up for debate whether the prime minister likes it or not. Did we elect a dictator who will decide what issues will be debated?
“As long as I am prime minister we are not opening the abortion debate” Stephen Harper, quoted in Globe and Mail, April 21, 2011
People should be very concerned. If Stephen Harper can declare that abortion will not be debated in parliament, then what other issues will he decide to suppress? Meanwhile, the so-called “investigative media” gives Mr. Harper a free pass on his dictatorial comment. I am not aware of any of them questioning him or raising the issue about him being anti-democratic. We have a double standard here in Canada, abortion to most of them is okay and as long as Mr. Harper suppresses any discussion on it, that’s fine with most of them.
Yet, the media are always trumpeting the slogan free speech and free expression must be paramount. Yeah sure, if they believed that they would be challenging Canada’s would be dictator. They are all mostly hypocrites when it comes to the killing of the child in the womb by abortion. Investigative journalism is dead just like the children slaughtered by abortion. And our democracy challenged prime minister I believe cares more about power than moral principles. If there was a prize for hypocrisy he would surely win it.
He is over in China at the moment and supposedly going to talk to them about “human rights.” Ain’t that a laugh! China has a policy of forced abortions and we have no law on abortion, so Harper should be right at home there.
Still, one must give some praise to a few, but only a few MPs who have had the courage to raise the abortion issue. The lack of support from other members of parliament shows courage, democracy and free speech is in trouble and protection for human life is non existent in this House of Shame.
Meanwhile, the shameless promotion of abortion continues. Over 100,000 innocent lives are slaughtered yearly in Canada. An abortionist is given the country’s highest award. And some of the media on the political programs on TV and print make snide remarks, and laugh and make fun of some MPs and persons who have the morality and courage to defend the innocent child in the womb. This surely is a sign of a sick and depraved society?

Beating the War Drums
Beating the War Drums
By Stephen J. Gray
The war drums are beating for another war
Promoted by the “good” war criminals and the political bores
Will it be sold as another “humanitarian mission?”
By the treacherous war mongers of lies and perdition
The profits of slaughter, bombing and murder
Are enormous and blood soaked for the New World Order
These would be rulers who never fight
Are creators of mayhem and pillaging, but hide out of sight
Villains and bandits in expensive attire
They want the puppet politicians to set the world on fire
They are safely ensconced in their bunkers of luxury
While people die and suffer abjectly
Suffering and horror means nothing to these parasites
Who feed off death and destruction and never join the fight
They are too busy plotting, scheming and making blood soaked profit
Then they send their money to their offshore office
Are “respectable” criminals running the system; one might ask?
For they seem to be involved in every dirty task
Some even get medals for bombing and destruction
Think of some who have received such adulation
Perhaps it’s time to put the “political leaders” in the front lines of war
Let’s see how brave are these political curs?
They are the “brave warriors” who never fight
Whose weapons are rhetoric that they spout with all their might
Put also in the front lines the manufacturers of destruction
The financiers, the bankers, and the corporate collection
And those media promoters of hell on earth
Let them all get their fill instead of the serfs
So let all those who are gung ho for war
Let them lead the charge, let them be at the fore
Let them lead by example, let them have the “fun”
After all, these are ones beating the big war drum
