Massacres



Massacres in Mosques, Churches, Schools, and countries too
Massacres in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Gaza
And many other places too
Violence is everywhere in lands around the world
And the innocents are dying and millions are killed

World leaders speak of sympathy, for victims, and love and prayers too
While sending their armies to kill, because that’s what armies do
Hypocrisy is rampant in the seats and halls of power
Where war criminals reside and violence does flower

They sell arms to dictators and despots, and say they are creating jobs
Aided and abetted by corporate cannibals and profiteering mobs
Children are massacred in a school bus in Yemen
The missiles manufactured in a corporate “free enterprise” haven

Killing, and bombing, and death rains down from the skies
Bringing “democracy” and “responsibility to protect” is their lies
Massacres and more massacres, waiting in the wings
And another maniac and monster will have a hellish fling

Violence breeds violence and that saying is true
So what can be done, does anyone have a clue?
Lawmakers become lawbreakers in illegal wars
Do their victims and their families have any recourse?

Weeping and suffering are those left alive
Filled with sorrow and trying to survive
Victims of evil and deranged killers
And the slaughtering continues with more massacres

Are We Ruled By War Criminals?



Don’t join their armies or fight in their planned wars
Don’t obey the orders, of these mad and treacherous curs
Don’t listen or buy their propaganda that passes for “news”
Don’t buy their B.S. or their propagandized views                                       

Don’t vote for politicians, they really are all the same
Don’t vote for “democracy,” it’s just a corrupt game
Don’t place an X in a ballot or next to any “nice” name
Don’t listen to their plans for you, they are just seeking fame

Don’t believe the politicians that support more wars
Don’t do their “fighting” as they hide from all the gore
Don’t listen to your mad rulers that run the political game
Don’t be one of the brainwashed obeying the insane...

Left, right, left right, see them march ready to bomb and destroy
Obeying orders from war criminals and maniacs; do you feel the joy?
Full of pride and waving their flags, all standing to attention
As they listen to the mad war criminals that brook no dissension

An order is an order even if it sets the world on nuclear fire
Left, right, left right, “Yes sir, what else do you desire”?
“Just make every missile hit its target, as we your leaders’ watch on T.V.
Burn up the peoples’ tax dollars, because this is, “the land of the free...

Instead We Should:
...
Arrest the warmongering “leaders” who create havoc around the world
Authorizing bombings and killings these “leaders” should be reviled
Instead we give them fancy titles and homes to park their asses
Will there ever be a day of reckoning and a rise up of the masses?

Arrest the financiers of these bloody wars of destruction
This is how these blood sucking parasites get their satisfaction
Drag them away in chains and handcuffs, and orange prison attire
These are the corporate cannibals who set the world on fire...

There is abundant evidence that the so-called “democratic system” of law and order has failed.  War criminals and gangsters appear to be in control, [1] [2] none of the perpetrators of these heinous war crimes or financial crimes goes to jail. Instead they parade and posture from the world stage that has become a platform for evil doing. One could also call their depredations the modus operandi of a monstrous evil. [3]

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
...
The scumbags rule and plot and plan
While people suffer and starve in many lands
War criminals are running loose, and in charge
Elitist scumbags are everywhere at large...

The “rule of law” has become a sick joke                                                                         
“Respectable” gangsters are running amok
What will it take before the people say “enough?”
And jail these “respectable” bandits with metal cuffs?...
                                  
Because:

There are monsters in our midst
Did you know they exist?
They plan and plot for many wars
They are Satan’s warmongering whores

They feed off death, destruction and killing
Are they the “coalition of the willing”?
Dressed to kill in fancy war clothes
You can see them parade and pose

Some reside in luxury mansions
Blood-soaked profits are their satisfaction
Others perform their foul and dirty deeds
They are the servants, of this filth and greed

Some get medals for all the killing
They are the brainwashed and the willing
Obeying orders to bomb and kill
They serve, the monsters hellish will

The victims of these monsters planning
Has resulted in many millions dying
Their countries reduced to smoking rubble
They did not ask for this satanic trouble

Who will be next for the monsters plan?
This beast of blood created by devil man
Don’t think it can’t happen here?
Some day soon it could appear

Then the monster will turn on you
Obeying the orders of its satanic crew
Hellish “leaders” created this monster
Now you could be its next disaster

Nobody is safe from this bloody beast
That on innocent blood does feast
You praised its hellish bloodstained fist
Can anybody stop the monsters in our midst?

Has Corruption Become “Normal” in Canada?



“Despotic power is always accompanied by corruption of morality.” Lord Acton                                                                                                              
    
The latest scandal in Canada is the SNC-Lavalin affair.

The Canadian media have been filled with stories for weeks now about SNC-Lavalin.  The investigative media’s job is to search for truth. Unfortunately, over the years in Canada, and today, there have been stories that do not get much or any coverage. Which raises, the question; Are the media selective, in what stories are covered, and are other stories censored?

We keep hearing the words “rule of law” constantly, but, one has to ask:

“Where is the Concern in Canada”?


Where is the concern about rule of law, when 491 babies were left to die in Canada? [1] [2]

Where is the concern about rule of law in Canada, when ‘militant terrorists’ were allowed into Canada? [3]

Where is the concern about rule of law in Canada, when taxpayers’ money funds and reportedly trains terrorists? [4]

Where is the concern about the rule of law in Canada, when $600 million of taxpayers’ dollars was wining and dining war criminals? [5]

Where is the concern about rule of law in Canada, When NATO an organization funded by Canadians tax dollars is reportedly funding, training and arming the terrorists it is supposed to be fighting? [6]

Where is the concern about the rule of law in Canada, when armed forces were joking about being ‘being part of ‘al-Qaida’s air force,’? [7]

Where is the concern about the rule of law in Canada, when the corporate media are covering up the treachery of war criminals? [8] [9]
...
More info on this at link below]

The information listed above is not being covered by the Canadian Media that is why I asked earlier; Are they selective in their reporting? The SNC-Lavalin affair is getting blanket coverage by them. But, they fail society by non-coverage of the evidence listed above. Which raises serious questions.

Therefore I ask: “What is happening to Canada”?

I see a country being destroyed by those that rule
I see a country in the hands of fools
I see the peoples’ tax dollars being squandered
I see those in power giving perverted orders

I see our children exposed to mandated sexual perversions
I see this is called: “government freedom of expression”
I see thousands of illegal entries crossing our borders
I see them put up in hotels, is that a disorder?

I see our streets where thousands are homeless
I see no hotels for them, are we uncaring and heartless?
I see thousands of people attending food banks
I see our “leaders” spending millions on weapons and tanks

I see our “leaders” bombing and killing in other countries
I see all the war crimes caused by the war industry
I see corruption, and perversion out in the open
I see people marching naked, and this is not forbidden

I see people can be murdered if they sign a piece of paper
I see just like Nazi Germany we have “compassionate” euthanasia
I see hundreds of thousands of innocent pre-born lives
I see them slaughtered in abortion chambers, day and night

I see an abortionist gets the country’s highest honour
I see and wonder, about this land’s Charter
I see this document is called a “living tree”
I see and wonder is its fruit rotten, do you agree?

I see the law of this once great and decent land
I see it perverted, and killing is allowed by an “approved” hand
I see some of the people protesting this lawless corruption
I see others that think this is “caring” and appropriate action

I see a country that has legalized dope
I see a country on a slippery slope
I see a land that has gone to Pot
I see and wonder, are we ruled by crackpots?

I see a land that welcomes ‘terrorist militants’
I see what is happening as treacherous, but “consistent”
I see and ask, “Do we a have a big problem in positions of power”?
I see and wonder when will all this treachery be over?

I see and ask, “Will the people ever say, enough”?
Or is the country too far gone, in all this stuff
Are the people conditioned to believe, they are “free”?
I am just telling you this, and saying: “What I See”

And finally I ask:
Has Canada Become Depraved, Degenerate, and Debauched Under “The Rule of Law”?

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”  Dante Alighieri

Can a Government...



Can a government be arrested in its totality?
If there is evidence of its criminality
If it tried to subvert the course of justice
Could the rule of law be in danger of prejudice?

Can “interfering” and “pressure” be explained away?
Because those in control have the power to sway
Can decisions be made to undermine the law?
Can a party support a government that has a flaw?

Can a government speak of having “values”?
When an ongoing scandal obviously, devalues
Can this scandal be described as, “misunderstandings”?
Can it be called “challenging,” at briefings?

Is the integrity of the justice system at stake?
Or was this scandal just a mistake?
Or was there months of endless pressure
Or is this scandal just a dirty picture?

Is all the interaction just “normal business”?
Or do the people need to hear from another witness
Should there be an inquiry into ethics and morality
When a government is “moving forward” in its totality?

Does a government not know how to handle “legal matters”?
Or does it need “expert advice” on laws that matter?
Would this scandal have ever occurred or happened
If the government had not justice questioned?

Has the rule of law been brought into disrepute?
If there is no attempt to try and prosecute
Can bribery, corruption, and fraud, be given immunity?
Can a government be arrested if there is criminality?

When the Powerful...



When the powerful don’t know they are corrupt
Will they be arrested as being morally bankrupt?
Or will they say: “they have their ‘values’ and standards”?
And that they will continue their rule, “moving forward”

When the powerful have no ethics, or principles
Is their government filled with grovelling disciples?
People who close their eyes and help disguise
The ongoing corruption and constant blatant lies

When the powerful control any country
Does interference become an industry?
Can threats be concealed, as not really real?
And just a “nice way”, of trying to close a deal

When the powerful use “acceptable pressure”
Is it camouflaged as just, “helping a venture”?
Would the rule of law be undermined?
Because the powerful were just trying to be “kind”

When the powerful attempt to subvert justice
Are they acting with criminality and malice?
Will the country affected say “enough”?
When the powerful don’t know, they are corrupt

“To oppose corruption in government is the highest obligation of patriotism.”  G. Edward Griffin

If Corruption Becomes Normal




If corruption becomes normal
Will the abnormal become moral?
Could blackmail be called acceptable pressure?
Does interference become just another nice gesture?

Can the language be twisted to make a wrong, a right?
Can truth be buried in broad daylight?
Do the masters of villainy hold forth at the podium?
Do they parrot their B.S. loudly ad nauseam?

Are differences on truth explained as misunderstandings?
And used as an excuse for possible hurt feelings?
Can nobody be blamed for constantly applying pressure?
Was it all done to be helpful and with good nature?

Can threats be acceptable for doing one’s job?
Are those using them powerful slobs?
Can the rule of law be held by some, in contempt?
Can it be undermined if some try this, and attempt?

Does anyone need to apologize if they are running the show?
Even if their explanations sound trite and hollow
Are bribery, corruption, and fraud really evil?
Does it become acceptable, if corruption becomes normal?

“A strange aspect of these conflicts is that Western leaders have never had to pay any political price for their role in initiating them or pursuing policies that effectively stoke the violence. Isis is a growing power in Libya, something that would not have happened had David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy not helped destroy the Libyan state by overthrowing Gaddafi in 2011. Al-Qaeda is expanding in Yemen, where Western leaders have given a free pass to Saudi Arabia to launch a bombing campaign that has wrecked the country.” Patrick Cockburn, March 20,2016.
“The fact can't be refuted: ISIS was born of Western intervention in Iraq and covert action in Syria...This attack on Syria, under the guise of striking ISIS, is by definition, a war of aggression. It is a violation of international law. It could lead to crimes against humanity and the deaths of untold numbers of innocent civilians. No amount of public relations or smooth talking can change that. And yes, members of this Democratic administration, including the president who executed this policy, must be held accountable by the International Criminal Court and by the American people, who he serves.”

An Imaginary Investigation of Pressure



An all-party committee was convened to investigate the pressure on the Justice System after it was pressured to change its decision on a criminal matter.

Chairperson: Opening remarks: We are gathered here today to decide whether there was pressure imposed on a representative of the justice system, to change a decision that was already made. Before we begin let me just say this, this committee is a committee of honourable people who will do their best to define pressure.  Each member will have five minutes to give their thoughts on pressure. It will be done by the number already allocated to you. So let us begin. First member, you are first to speak.

First Member: I believe unseemly and intense pressure was put upon the justice member by saying jobs will be lost if those charged with breaking the law don’t get a break.

Chairperson: Could you please change the words “don’t get a break” into “jobs are at stake”?  And “unseemly and intense pressure,” to “friendly pressure” You will do this; thank you, First Member.

Second Member: I believe the real problem is this: an election was due to be held; therefore, it was appropriate that nice and firm pressure was put upon the justice system so that the right and proper decision could be made.

Third Member: Objection; not everyone is happy about the words “nice and firm pressure.” I would say it was more like strong arm pressure to pervert and interfere in the justice system and let criminals off the hook.

Chairman: Objection is accepted. Could Third Member please delete “let criminals off the hook” and “pervert and interfere in the justice system” and change “strong arm pressure” to “acceptable pressure.”  You will, under protest.  Excellent, Third Member; thank you.

Fourth member: It appears to me that we live in a law-abiding country, and that a little comfortable pressure is acceptable when we must change the law to break the law. After all, jobs are important, and so what if a corporation gets off with bribery, fraud or corruption, and there is interference in the justice system?  At least the people the company employs, and those that get its donations to their parties, will still have a source of income. Does that not make sense?

Chairperson: Fourth member, I think you expressed your thoughts on this matter very well. I am not pressuring you, but do you have to be so explicit in apparently promoting pressure to break the law?  Therefore, I ask that we expunge your comments so that you can rethink your remarks. Agreed? You accept! Thank you, Fourth Member.

Fifth Member: First of all, let me say this: two wrongs do not make a right. But reputable pressure appropriately applied can be helpful, especially if it gets the law off the hook for doing the right thing and jobs are saved for the middle class. Heck, laws are made to be broken, so why not break the law and save the jobs and the lawbreakers? Surely that makes sense in this law-abiding country?

Chairperson: Thank you for your input Fifth Member.  You are right about “appropriate pressure” being “helpful.” We are a law abiding country as you say, and two wrongs don’t make a right. But the law is the law, and it must not be broken unless the circumstances are exceptional. Which raises the question: Are these circumstances exceptional? That is the question?

Sixth Member: So far I believe the remarks have been very pertinent and sensible, even though we agree to disagree. Pressure properly or improperly applied is still pressure, and pressure for a good cause is always praiseworthy. Still, pressure is rampant in everyday life. Pressure to lie, pressure to break the law, pressure to pervert justice, pressure to get elected, pressure with threats, hounding a person with pressure, pressure to get up in the morning, pressure to go to work, pressure to work overtime, pressure to pay bills, pressure to mow the lawn, pressure to shovel the snow off the sidewalk, pressure to go to the toilet, pressure to not pressure. In fact I see pressure here, there, and everywhere. Pressure can be a good thing, even if some think it is a bad thing, when there is pressure to interfere by those in positions of power.  I believe positive pressure makes pressure successful. Though if it is unsuccessful there can be consequences for those applying pressure illegally, or there should be.

Chairperson: Sorry Sixth Member, I am afraid your time is up. I hope I don’t leave you feeling pressured. Did I just make a pun? [Much laughter ensues among the committee.] Your dissertation on pressure was admirable, and has given us food for thought on the pressures of life. Now we must pressure on; oops, I mean press on to the next member.

Seventh Member: That was an eye-opening monologue on pressure by the honourable member. Too bad he ran out of time, because he seemed to have much more to say on all kinds of pressure. Still, we all must obey the rules and the time allotted even if we are pressured. My feelings on this matter are this: I believe pressure is a great help in getting to the root of the problem. We are doing this with great clarity and without pressure.  Therefore I say if the law can be bent but not broken to facilitate justice for everybody, including those charged, so be it. Then let us do that, because we must continue to protect democracy, jobs, and the middle class in this law-abiding land of pressure.  And pressure, I believe, appears to have been mandatory and pliable in this matter of the rule of law.

Chairperson: That concludes our work on pressure for today. Thank you all for your excellent input on pressure. I am sure it will go a long way in having the people hopefully understand the meaning of pressure and the work we do. Democracy is always under pressure, but at least we live in a law-abiding country that believes in the rule of law.  And what could be better than that?

When a Party...



When a party becomes dirty
Will ethics become history?
Will liars have an accessory?
Will corruption have a victory?

When the corrupt have power
Does the illegal start to flower?
Does truth become subjective?
When the lawless control the narrative?

Do lawbreakers get protection?
And get their satisfaction?
Does the party support those?
Who have an agenda to impose?

Do words become weapons?
To promote the party’s lessons
Is indoctrinating the masses?
Propaganda from the party’s asses

Does hypocrisy become a “virtue”?
When discussing the party’s issues?
Are the members happy and content?
When inside a big and tainted tent?

Can a party become a threat to democracy?
If it tries to enforce unlawful advocacy
If this happens would it be a crime?
And would those responsible do jail time

Does character assassination
Become the forte of an administration?
Are some a target in a party’s aberration?
Could bad things happen, if the corrupt rule a nation?
