WARNING!

SOMETHING OF VITAL IMPORTANCE FOR ALL WHO WANT WORLD PEACE WITH JUSTICE: There has been much debate in the news recently about drones. One of the newscasts we watched posed what we think is vitally important question, How long before a hacker takes control of a drone for their own ends? Certainly food for thought and for social activists to move on. (not an exact quote). Hacking is not confined to any group or country.

BC ELECTIONS 2013

MY THOUGHTS ON BC ELECTIONS 2013:

Like a jet or high-speed train election day is almost here. There are far too many issues created by the government of the legislature to deal with them all. We need a political movement not a political party that puts people first not business. In the meantime:

All political parties have an interest in business rather than people. They have swallowed the line promoted by super-high finance that “we must protect business” nonsense! Large businesses are doing just fine and making super profits. If there is any business that needs protecting it is small business. In particular the small business. The mom and pop ones, or individuals who start up a one-man business must have by now more that an 80% failure rate.

The present economic crisis can never be resolved until business begins to pay a fair share of taxation. The nearest to introducing legislation that goes in that direction was Adrian Dix’s small but limited step to increase business tax.

End thought for the day.

ELECTIONS BC 2013

Elections May 2013: Just my opinion?

Transportation is an issue of major impotence to a large number of South Coast BC residents. The BC Legislature enacted South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act (Translink) over 30 years ago. Thirty Years or more of various governments have seen a multitude of amendments. The result is a tedious and complex puzzle for researchers.

The present Liberal BC Legislature is the inheritor of the changes implemented under the leadership of former Premier Campbell. They resulted in a move that took Translink into the beginning of an undemocratic privatization move. Instead of a Board made up of mostly Mayors who are elected, we now have a Board mad up of business and professionals not elected but appointed. The previous Mayors Board is relegated to mainly consultative status., with nothing as far as we know to make changes to Board decisions. The time has come to right the wrongs!

This years BC elections provide the electorate with an opportunity to restore democracy to Translink by letting the party of their choice know that they want the restoration of the former Mayors Translink Board and the abolition of the present Translink Board and expect a public announcement to gain their support as an elector.  One step more is that some services in Translink are contracted. It would remove problems like uncertainty for clients and riders and employees if these companies were no longer under contract but were companies the same as all other non-contracted firms or companies in Translink. The time is now to demand a public inquiry into the whole problem of transportation in the South Coast of BC.

It is important for the general public to begin to take back democracy and this election is a good place to start. Canada has already gone too far on the path to open corporate rule.

This is a list of names of innocent children killed by America’s drones

But behind each name there is the face of a child with a family history in a village in a far away country, with a mom and a dad, with brothers and sisters and friends.

Among the list, are infants of 1, 2, 3 and 4 years old.

In some cases brothers and sisters of an entire family are killed. For the full story go to the URL above or click on it if it works. J

STATEMENT ON MALI

I suggest to the reader that we are witness to the furthering of the new colonialism in our world. John Here is a statement you are not likely to see in our major media.

Statement of the WPC on Mali

•  
• 

The World Peace Council (WPC) denounces the brutal military intervention of France in Mali, which is being carried out with the full support of the European Union and NATO. It constitutes the continuation of the implementation of the imperialist plans for the geo-strategical control of broader areas of Africa, as we have seen it in 2011 with the bloody intervention and bombing of Libya.

Their goal are the energy resources which are object of fierce rivalry between imperialist forces and centers, which however go hand in hand in the slaughter of the peoples under various pretexts each time.

The WPC expresses its outrage about the new crime of imperialist France, which is preparing together with its NATO allies also to attack and intervene against Syria and while threatening Iran.

We demand the immediate end of the aggression and the withdrawal of French military forces along with the ones of the European Army and NATO.

The vast majority of mankind and of the peoples is rejecting the “peace” missions of the EU and NATO which are promoting the interests of the multinational corporations while causing death and more misery to the peoples.

We denounce the massacre of the people of Mali by the imperialist forces and call upon the peace loving peoples of the world to react with diverse actions against the imperialist plans in Africa.

CHAVEZ - THE TRUTH!

PRESS RELEASE CPS — VANCOUVER CPS 015 – Vancouver

As Hon. Chair of CPS I think it is time to increase the fight back in struggle. Why, because our major media are and have been for centuries brainwashing us into believing our present system is benevolent and run by you the voter. It is run by a small and secret society of the worlds to financiers who care only for profit and be damned to you.

Here is an example from Granma International CUBA:

O U R  A M E R I C A	Havana.  January 21, 2013
Chávez is in battle, disciplined in his treatment • Confirms Vice President Nicolás Maduro CARACAS, Jan 20.—Venezuelan Hugo Chávez is being very disciplined in terms of his treatment and has "a spark of satisfaction in his eye at the struggle he has waged for our homeland and the one he is going to wage," affirmed Vice President Nicolás Maduro, PL reports. "The President is in battle, aware of the situation he has been through, the difficult post-operative period, aware of what is taking place in our country, informed of what is happening, disciplined in his treatment, paying attention to the doctors’ recommendations," Maduro stated. His state of mind is that of always, with a spirit of victory, and with a very special focus on how the homeland to which he has dedicated all his efforts and his life, is moving ahead, said the Vice President, interviewed by José Vicente Rangel for his regular Sunday Televen program. "He is getting over the worst, all his fundamental, vital signs are stabilizing, he is fully conscious and has increasingly more strength, vital for his entry into the second stage, which will be announced in official reports." In terms of his sense of humor, "he continues to demonstrate it, anecdotes from the medical team and family members show that he maintains his good humor, his constant smile," Maduro said. All the medical personnel "love President Chávez, respect him and treat him with special affection, the best medicine that a human being can have." "We have said to him personally, "Be calm, President, keep up the pace of your treatment," Maduro said. "In Venezuela, there is a people responding, a Bolivarian National Armed Forces with increased morale and loyal, and there is a government team and the revolutionary forces, and those people who are trying to inflame our country cannot do so." "He thanked me from his heart and said, ‘convey my gratitude to all the people, to the Armed Forces,’ and that’s what we have been doing every day," the Vice President commented. "Meanwhile, we have said to the President, to his family members and to our people, here there is a government, a working team which he has formed; it is governing, working with the people and taking forward all the major missions contained in the Plan Patria."
