The Truth Hurts!


 
Sheep to Slaughter ( Psalm 44:22) Lemming Mass Suicide (Myth) Free Thinker (Facts=Truth)

Lately I have been questioning that: "If you do something for what you believe to be the right reason's, does it mean that it's the right thing to do"?

I have known most of you for biggest part of your lives, So I have but one question to ask of you now.

If you can name but one (just one) or find just one person out there that I have ever met talk to or dealt with in my life that I have ever lied to,??

Then don't read on, Just delete this E-mail NOW!!!

Because I may have been a lot of things in my life, But I'm not a liar and I'm not a thief!!!

I don't believe in God or religion, but when my children or grandchildren ask me if there is a God, I tell them that I don't believe there is (but then I tell them) That doesn't mean that there is no God, it just means that I don't believe there is. I don't know! No one does!

When asked about religion, I tell them what I believe and then I tell them that religion (the belief in God) is not a bad thing if it makes you a better person. It's the people that use Gods name (their religious beliefs) to deceive you and cause harm to their fellow man that is Bad!!

The only belief that I can honestly say makes any sense at all to me comes from the North American Indian, They believe in the sun, the moon, the stars and the rain, the wind and mother earth, that gives them sustenance. Things you can see, feel, and reach out and touch! Not in a man made religion that is based completely on blind faith!

I do what I do because care! About the world, about mankind, about my children, about my grandchildren and I care what happens to our future and the future of this planet!

Money has never meant that much to me, I guess because I truly believe that money IS the root of all evil.

I've never backed down from anyone in my life, not at work, not on the street and not from the Government.

I've won most of my battles with honesty, at work (against management) in the union (against union policy) with my fellow man and with or against any government agency that I have dealt with, because you can't argue with the truth and most people that are trying to deceive you, are doing so by lying to you.

I have always stood up for what I believe is right, even if it could cost me a beating, my job, my family, a friend or my life.

I'm not scared of living and I'm sure as hell not scared of dieing, I'm not scared of the here after! because I've lived my life believing in Good! not God, by speaking the truth even if it would hurt the one I love! because I can deal with  the truth, I can't deal with a lie! and because I truly believe that the truth will set us free!

Unfortunately sometimes the truth Hurts! because you can't sugar coat the truth! I have offended people in my life because where as most people want you to tell them the truth, most people really don't want to hear the truth.

I have in the past been accused of bombarding people with the shit I send them, I have been accused of supporting the crazy conspiracy theory's, of being crazy my self, of being paranoid and of just being a pain in the ass. I've been told that people don't read, don't watch, don't listen to and don't pass on the shit I send out in my e-mails.

Where as when I sent out an e-mail asking any and everyone if they didn't want me to send them this kind of shit anymore, no one e-mailed me back and said not to (except one) and I got that message second hand and it was because of racist jokes (well not racist really but on the verge, meant to be funny not hurt anyone's feelings) that he didn't find funny, so I deleted his e-mail address from my contact list and haven't sent him anything until just a few days ago because he had a problem with discrepancies in one of the post on my blog. (which I have a hard time understanding, why he follows my blog if he disagrees with what I say)

I've been told that people don't listen to what I write down because I can't spell so it looks like I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't have a formal education. (this is true, I only have book one (see Spot run, see Dick jump)

When in fact I have educated my self and I'm far more knowledgeable than most people out there that I have met in my life that hold that all mighty peace of paper that says they are smart, even though in reality, they spent their time in school on daddy's dollar partying not on educating them self to make a better world for their family and for mankind.

I've been told that people don't take me seriously because I've been stirring up shit all my life and I'm just trying to stir up more shit. I've been told that I've lost most of the people I've known in my life, friends and family by pissing them off (mostly by speaking the truth)

This is not true! I have eliminated most people in my life because they didn't live up to my standard of what a friend or family member should be! (I would much rather have one good friend than a shit load of so, so's) 

I've been told that I have a lot of really good points but that people would take me more seriously if it wasn't for the small discrepancy's in the information that I send out in e-mail or post on my blog (no body's perfect so why do people think that I should be any different) ?

And this is all fine with me! I have no regrets in life, not for what I've done or for what I've said (other than what I did to my wife during my stint through male menopause) I can live with my past, I sleep fine (when I sleep) What I can't live with is sitting and doing nothing, when I think the people I love and care about are in danger of losing their right to live in a free and peaceful world. When I see the world my father fought for in the name of freedom turning into a dictatorship run by the elite of the world!

The reason I send out the shit I send or post the shit I post.

Isn't! because I thing the world is going to end on Dec 22 2012 or that I believe everything they say in the conspiracy theory's, it's not because I'm tying to change anyone view's about God, religion or the hear after, it's not because I believe that plant X is gong to come back and destroy the world we live in, it's not because I believe big brother is going to put chips in everyone so they can control and track them where ever they go.

Nobody knows what the future is going to be. I don't sit around worrying about it, I just think everyone should be aware of it, I'm hoping with every breath I take that the future will be a wonderful and beautiful place for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

I don't post conspiracy theories on my Blog I post what I think people should be aware of and if someone complains about a discrepancy in my post, I take it down until I can put it back up with either the truth  (or as close as I can come to the truth) or with the discrepancies removed

Most people out there believe, can see, or have a good idea that something in this world we live in, is not right!

Everyone out there knows someone or has heard of someone that was either hurt by or destroyed by the so called rescission we are in today.

The banks (the rich) deceived us with low interest rates, they knew the bubble had to brake sooner or later and yet they did it anyway, all in the name of making more money. and then we, the average people, bailed them out? This is not right!! it's NOT fare, and everyone you talked to agrees with this, but did anyone get punished for it? NO!!


We bailed out the banks (the rich the elite), what happened to the millions or billions that they made off the poor for five years before the bubble broke? no one knows, no one seams to care anymore, everyone I know was very upset at the time but the media (controlled and run by the elite) has buried it and people have just excepted it and moved on with there lives.

We have turned our back on Pearl Harbor, we have tuned our back on 9/11, we have turned our back on the assassination of  President Kennedy.

WHY?

Is this right? NO

But it's true! People forget they move on they turn a bind eye and they follow like sheep!

I wish I could, I truly do! but I can't for the simple reason that, it goes against everything I believe in!

They (the Rich, the elite the 1%, if you will) have used scare tactics to take away our rights to take away our guns to take away our freedom and they have used the media (their propaganda tool) to do all this!

If we have no guns we can't fight back! if we can't find the truth we can't hold the ones responsible for the atrocity's for their crimes against humanity,and they know this and they are working and have been working for years towards the so called New World Order. (read my blog, see what this will mean for you and your family)

I try to warn people, I try to give them the best information available to me, to show them what is happening in the world today, so that they can at the very lest be aware of what is happening in the world around them. That the media is not and will not tell them.

I'm not asking you to take my word for any of this, I'm not asking you to believe the conspiracy theories.

I'm asking you to stop listening to the media and the Government and look it up your self!!!

People are more concerned with Oprah getting molested as a child or President Clinton getting a blow job than they are of President Bush raping the country or the oil company's raping the world resources all in the name of money!

Why? because the media focuses on the smut to distract you from the truth! That's why!

Look up the law suits that Coca Cola has settled in/or out of court in the last 10 years. Look up what Big businesses has done or is doing all in the name of more money for their share holders, look up how the Pope has tried to hide the child molesters in the flock, look up the rich (the elite) that have made money through out the last two world wars and during all the wars since.

LOOK UP: THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK and see who really owns it?
 
LOOK UP: The Bush family and their relationship with Osama Bin Laden and his family! and the New World Order
 

LOOK UP: The Rockefeller family and their connection to the New World Order!

LOOK UP:
Nelson W. Aldrich- Representative of Rockefeller.
Benjamin Strong - Representative of Rockefeller.
Frank A. Vanderlip - Representative of Rockefeller.
John D. Rockefeller - Rockefeller him self.

Search the Net check the web sights! (while you still can)

All a you need to do is read the Wikipedia website and there should no longer be any doubt amongst Americans, Canadians or the world in general about the mere existence of a "New World Order" and the Rockefeller role in it.  It is here now, a living and breathing "global" institute, though hidden still to most Americans eyes. Still, the question somehow remains, did this N.W.O. begin as a "benevolent institution" and, if so, does it still have any such "benevolent" qualities remaining?

It's not their children that are being bombed, it's not their children that are being killed fighting these wars!

These are not conspiracy theories, they are cover ups!!!

Look them up, research them, you will find more prof than lies. but stop believing what the media and the government is telling you!!!

Look it up for your self!

The terrorist that hide behind black mask are not our problem!

The terrorist that hide behind the lies are the problem and what we should really be scared of!

What really scares me, is that we are on the verge of losing the freedom of the Internet and people need to be aware of this, what scares me it that there is a really good chance that if we lose the Internet the world powers will succeed in turning this world we love so dearly into a New World Order.  Run by a dictatorship (the elite)


What scares me is that if they succeed in taking away all our guns we wont have a chance of fighting back and stopping this from happening. What scares me is that people sit and watch TV and listen to what the world powers want you to hear and see and turn a blind eye to what is really going on!

If we lose the Internet and if we continue to turn a blind eye to what is really going on in this world. We are truly doomed and so is the future of our children and their children and life as we know it today.

So I'm asking you, if you care anything at all about your children's future, watch this documentary and pass it on to as many people as you can.

After that, if you want me to stop sending you this kind of shit, then say so and I will delete your address or I will only send you jokes Up to you?

Because if we're not going to do what ever we can to protect our future generations freedom, then we might just as well go out laughing. (that is if you truly think your children and the future of your grandchildren is a joke)

The man in this video (who has a very soothing hypnotic voice so be careful! I had to start it over several times my self because I kept falling asleep)  takes all the conspiracy theory's and puts it all together so you will at least think about what is really going on out there, he's not saying any of them are right! he's not saying any of them are going to happen, all he's saying, is that they are all a possibly (he has a lot of very good points)

He is saying that something is wrong, Turn off the TV and research the things he is talking about!

Don't just sit there blindly believing everything the media (the government) is telling you! or big business filling your head with commercials and/or subliminal advertising that are trying to sell you something you really don't want or need,

Turn off the radio, turn off the news, put down the paper and look shit up for your self while you still can!

But before you watch the video, watch to the clip I have attached and listen to what President Kennedy said and remember what happened to him! then watch the documentary and you decide, are all these people just wasting their time and money trying to warn us about something that's not true, or is something really wrong out there?

You don't need the designer cloths to be cool with real friends! You don't need all the make up to be beautiful!

Beauty comes from with in! not from air bushed pictures in a magazines as they would like you to believe!, you don't need the new cars to get where you are going in life! and you sure as hell don't need their blood money to find happiness with your loved ones!

Try to look at the big picture not the individual pixels that's it's made from.

Up to you!

I've done what I think is best for the people I love and care about.

But at least I didn't sit and do nothing!

Pass this e-mail on!

Send people to my blog http://rcoldguy1.blogspot.com/

Let them read what I have been saying through the years.

Let them decide if a man with no formal education could put down on paper what he feels in his heart with out making a few errors in spelling or grammar along the way.

Let the world decide if I'm paranoid, crazy or just trying to tell the truth, so that people will at least be aware of what is going on in this world!

People need to open their eyes and see the truth! and yes sometimes the truth hurts but you can only avoid it for so long before it catches up with you and bites you in the ass!!!

I only hope for our future generations sake, that it won't be to late!

Because maybe the only real problem here is that YOU have stopped believing in ME!

R.Coldguy: In search of the truth, in the name of freedom, for I truly believe that the truth will set us free!!!

P.S

I would like you to watch two very shot clips before you leave. One is a message from President Kennedy's speech on Conspiracy & Secret Society's (one of the greatest men that ever lived as far as I'm concerned) I had to cut it down so it would fit in this e-mail go here if you want to see to he whole video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYgLLahHv8

 

I apologize to anyone from China that can't get to this speech, I tried to find it elsewhere, but I couldn't:) sorry! You could try my blog http://rcoldguy1.blogspot.com/  Not sure if China is blocking it :)


The other one is from a man named Bill Hicks, "who is Bill Hicks" (Look it up)



I would just like to note here that:

If we used all the money that we are wasting on the war on terror and the war on drugs and used that money to help the people (the starving children of the world, the poor in the third world county's and the unfortunates in this world that have an addiction problem so that we can stop putting our children in jail for an addiction!) we could solve most if not all of the problems in the world today and make it a better place for all of man kind no matter what your race or religious beliefs many be!

R.Coldugy
===========================



This is what he had to say about our world and how we can change it.


Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994 R.I.P

The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when we choose to go on it we think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And it goes up and down and round and round, it has thrills and chills and its very brightly colored and very loud, and it's fun - for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and after a while they begin to question: Is this real, or is it just a ride? But some people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say. "Hey, don't worry and don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride" - and we kill those people...
"Shut him up! Ive got a lot invested in this ride... Look at my furrows of worry... Look at my big bank account... Look at my family... This has to be real"
But it's just a ride.
But we always kill those good guys who try to tell us that and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride - and we can change it any time we want.
All we need is the choice.
No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money - just a choice - right now - between fear & love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns and and close yourself off, the eyes of love instead, see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride right now. Take all the money we spend on weapons and defence every year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded and we can explore space...together...both inner and outer...forever......in peace.
- Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994 R.I.P.)


========================
The documentary:

If you don't do anything else in your life, watch this video! and you decide if any of this shit is true?


The Big Picture Final Cut http://www.thecrowhouse.com/bigpic.html

 For every question regarding our world, there is a conspiracy theory offered from some quarter claiming to address it. These conspiracy theories number into the hundreds and they are nearly always dead ends, or at best, lead to another conspiracy and so on, ad infinitum. Even though it’s become obvious to most that something is not quite right, and that some sort of global conspiracy does indeed exist, it is still hard to see exactly what it is, and where the truth really lies.
It is time the people of the world stood up and paid heed to the urgency and importance. Yet, you say, even if one were to do so, then how do we the ordinary individual, ever get to the bottom of this? And if we do ever get to the bottom of it, then what are we to do then? And those are both very good questions.
Well, the best way to start is to get all fluoride out of your diet and gain an understanding of history. Then learn to look at each news story from a global perspective. Disregard most of what the announcer tells you to believe, and place the event where it belongs, on the Global stage. Then ask yourself that old Greek adage – Cu Bono.
Who Benefits? And more importantly, when you discover a truth, uncover a lie, or find an anomaly, tell your friends. Spread the information as far and wide as you can reach because the media most certainly will not. However the most important thing of all in order to be able to do either of the above is to be aware of your surroundings in a global sense.

George Carlin said it a little differantly but the truth just the same:

The Garbage Man

The Garbage man


The Garbage Man or The Sanitation Engineer for you younger folk : 


I've been giving, water, pop, juice ( whatever happened to be the coldest at the time) to the garbage men during the hot summer months, I don't know how long I've been doing this (old age ya see) but I was thinking the other day, in all this time, no one has asked why and then I thought, "What am I going to tell them when and if one of them does ask why. (they don't have time to stop and talk you see) so maybe they will read this and then they will understand why. 


It wasn't because it was hot (hell nobody brought me a cold drink when I was hot). And I couldn't just say it was because of a nice man named Jimmy Wilkes. 


I had to laugh when the picture of Jimmy popped into my head. You see Jimmy was a man that made you laugh and he was a man that loved kids and loved life!


Jimmy was our garbage man, he came around once a week on the back of a garbage truck picking up peoples garbage, the garbage trucks back then looked pretty much the same as they do today, one guy driving and one picking up the garbage, Old Jimmy he was always on the back.

 

I call him old because to me at the time he was old, though you would never know it because when Jimmy would go by on the back of that truck there where always 4,5,6.... hell there where always a bunch of kids running behind the truck (note to kids today, don't do this at home :) 


Jimmy loved kids, he was just a big kid himself, he would tease them, joke with them and himself, he'd sing, dance, you name it, Jimmy would do it all just to make the kids laugh, all while picking up other peoples garbage and all so Jimmy could do what he loved most in life, play baseball.

 

You see Jimmy use to play for the Brantford Red Socks, this was back when you didn't get paid for playing baseball (or if you did it wasn't enough to get by on) he picked up garbage so he could raise a family and still do what he loved.

 

I didn't know Jimmy as a baseball player other than on one Saturday afternoon a friend of mine and I snuck into seeing one of the games between Listowel and Brantford. 


The way I remember it Jimmy was one of the best baseball players in the world, we cheered for him and yelled his name, "Go Jimmy Go!" It was a great day watching our hero as he played the game he loved so much. 

 

I didn't know what happened to Jimmy or his baseball career until just a few years ago. But it wasn't the Baseball, That's not what I remember him for. 


I remember him for the laughter he brought to all those kids and the difference he had made in my life.

 

You see, Jimmy was black and I'm sure if you asked any of those other kids today, they would tell you that at the time, we didn't see Jimmy as a black man the color of his skin didn't matter, Jimmy was just a very nice man on the back of a garbage truck that made us kids laugh! and we all loved it when garbage day rolled around each week and we would run behind the truck, all of us, wanting to grow up and become a garbage man just like Jimmy.

 

We didn't see a black man, hell I didn't even know what a black man was until I went out into the world, that's how we were raised back then (thanks Mom) and with me, as I'm sure is true with the other kids Jimmy touched in his life, whenever I have run into prejudice in my life, I would think of Jimmy and remember that the color of a man's skin is not what is important, it's the man inside! 


And this is why I give the garbage men a cold drink on a hot summer day because Jimmy taught me some of the most important things I've learned in my life. 


He taught me to laugh, at and with others, he taught me to laugh at my self, he taught me that there are good people in this world, no matter the color of their skin, and Jimmy taught me that it didn't matter what you did in life for a living, what was important is that you laugh, have fun and do whatever it takes to follow your dreams. 


So to the garbage men out there that have had a cold drink brought out to you on a hot summer day. I do appreciate what you are doing! But as for the cold drink. It's just my way of saying: 


Thanks, Jimmy!!! You'll never know what a difference you made in my life! 

Ray 


Go here if you like, as it turns out, Jimmy Wilkes was quite a man! and not just in my eyes :)

Proud to be Canadian!


I got this in an e-mail, I don't know who wrote it, but I couldn't agree more if I had of wrote it my self!


A Letter to the Editor (excellent letter)

So many letter writers have explained how this land is made up of immigrants. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people why today's Canadian is not willing to accept the new kind of immigrant any longer.

Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to Canada, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in Halifax and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new Canadian households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home. They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.

Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labour laws to protect them. All they had were the skills, craftsmanship and desire they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. Canadians fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Sweden , Poland and so many other places. None of these first generation Canadians ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Canadians fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the Freedom as one people. When we liberated France, no-one in those villages was looking for the Ukrainian-Canadian or the German-Canadian or the Irish-Canadian. The people of France saw only Canadians.

And we carried one flag that represented our country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be a Canadian. They stirred the melting pot into one red and white bowl.

And here we are in 2009 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes a Canadian passport and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being a Canadian is all about. Canadians have been very open-hearted and open-minded regarding immigrants, whether they were fleeing poverty, dictatorship, persecution, or whatever else makes us think of those aforementioned immigrants who truly did ADOPT our country, and our flag and our morals and our customs. And left their wars, hatred, and divisions behind. I believe that the immigrants who landed in Canada in the early 1900s deserve better than that for the toil, hard work and sacrifice those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags, fighting foreign battles on our soil, making Canadians change to suit their religions and cultures, and wanting to change our countries fabric by claiming discrimination when we do not give in to their demands.

Its about time we get real and stand up for our forefathers rights, we are CANADIAN Lest we forget it!!! I am a Native of this Country & proud of it!

NO MORE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
NO MORE not saying CHRISTMAS in stores and our schools!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
I Want my Canada of birth BACK !!!

P.S. -- Please pass this on to everyone you know!!!
KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING!!

Hope this letter is read by millions of people all across Canada !!!

Right Turn Clyde

I was talking to my grandson the other day and he was saying that his mom (my daughter) said there are not two people inside of us like I had told him earlier.

I beg to differ!

I had told him that:

We (man) is capable of doing what ever anyone before him has done. (good or bad) given the same life the same upbringing the same time and space as say Columbus.

It could have been anyone that discovered America. Old Chris was not chosen by the gods to discover America. He ended up discovering America because of the decisions he made in his life (the roads he traveled) right from birth.

The roads you travel and the things you accomplished are decided by the decisions you make in your life, the choice's you make determine the road you will travel. And the road you travel through life leads you to where you end up at the end of your time here in this life

If you choose to do good things, then you will travel that road. (Right Turn)

That same rule applies if you choose to do bad things. Then that is the road you will travel. (Left Turn)

Take Hitler (or any other person from man's history if you like)Hitler got to where he was by the decisions he made in life which lead him through the roads he traveled.(Left Turn)

If you (or anyone for that matter) where to make the same decisions as Hitler you would end up where Hitler ended up in life. You would have ended up traveling the same road he traveled. (Left Turn)

This would also apply to anyone else in our history male of female.

Take the Dali lama, if you where in the same situation, the same place the same time the same environment around you the same upbringing and you made the same dissensions that the Dali Lama has made to end up where he is today, then you would or could be the Dali Lama.

He wasn't born to be the Dali Lama and it wasn't fate that made him do good things, he just made the right decisions at every cross road in his life that lead him threw the many roads he traveled to end up where he is today. (Right Turn)

When you choose to do good, it's a mental choice, you know right from wrong, you choose good or bad. And in turn this leads you to the next cross road in your life, which leads you to your next decision and so on so forth.

It only stands to reason that if Hitler was in the same time and space as the Dali Lam and Hitler made the same decisions the Dali Lama has made in his life, the road Hitler would have trailed would be where the Dali Lama is today.(Right Turn)

Two people, both completely different people from our history. One that has done nothing but good and one that has done nothing but bad, but if they had of made the same decisions as their counter part, they both could have ended up in the others place in history.

Hitler and the Dali Lama had the choice to do good or evil and by those choices, they ended up traveling the roads that lead them to their place in our history.

You can choose to do good (that's the good person inside you)or you can choose to do bad. (That’s the bad person inside you)

Thus there are indeed two people inside you and you have the choice of which one you let run your life and lead you through the roads you travel.

That being said:

You could have done what ever anyone before you has done in our history, If you had of been raised in the same situation and had of choose to make those same decisions, then that is the road you would have travel in life.

You have the choice of the road you want to travel in life by the decisions you make and you will end up where your decisions have taken you.

There are two people inside you, Good and Evil it is up to you to make that decision, no one else can do that for you.

Enjoy the ride my friend and remember, the final decision is always up to you!

So you have no one to blame but your self for the roads you have to travel through life!

Right Turn Clyde!

Nothing to Worry about



There are only two things in life that are worth worrying about; whether you'll be healthy or whether you'll get sick.

If you're healthy there's really nothing to worry about, If you get sick there's still only two things worth worrying about, whether you'll get better or whether you'll die.

If you get better there's really nothing to worry about, If you die there's still only two things worth worrying about, whether you'll go to heaven or whether you'll go to hell.

If you go to heaven there's really nothing to worry about and If you go the hell you'll be so dam busy shaking hands with old friends you won't have time to worry.

So enjoy life my friend!!!

Because as long as you have old friends like me.

You really don't have anything to worry about.

Love Always
&
Forever Peace

Your Right to Bear Arms

In no way shape or form do I claim any credit for any of the work that went in to putting this to gather.

I just think it's important that Canadians know they have the right to bare arms.

How the Firearms Act (Bill C-68)Violates the Charter of

Rights and Freedoms (Summary)

Summary of the study prepared by Dr. Ted Morton for:

The Responsible Firearm Owners of Alberta,the Responsible Firearm Owners Coalition of British Columbia and the Recreational Firearms Community of Saskatchewan.

First presented in Saskatoon, October 5, 2002
In 1995 the federal government introduced Bill C-68, a bill to change firearms legislation in Canada. After passage it is correctly identified as "Statutes of Canada 1995, Chapter 39."

It incorporates two parts: the new Firearms Act and changes to the existing Criminal Code. Throughout this paper the legislation will be referred to by it's short title The Firearms Act.

In 1999 when the Supreme Court rejected Alberta's (and seven other government's) constitutional challenge that the Firearms Act was outside of the federal government's jurisdiction, the Supreme Court began by declaring that:

"The issue before this Court is not whether gun control is good or bad, whether the law is fair or unfair to gun owners, or whether it will be effective or ineffective in reducing the harm caused by the misuse of firearms."

That was true for the law of federalism. It is not true under the Charter of Rights. If a law is found to violate a Charter right, the Supreme Court has ruled that the burden of proof shifts to the government to prove that the law is "rationally connected" to its purpose and that it impairs the rights involved "as little as possible." While the [stated] purpose of the Firearms Act -- to reduce the use of firearms in violent crime -- is laudable and shared by all law-abiding Canadians, its licensing and registration requirements do nothing to achieve this end.

As summarized below, the Firearms Act violates the Charter in many ways. If the Supreme Court applies the same Charter rules to law-abiding firearm owners as it has to drunk-drivers, drug dealers, prostitutes, pimps, single parent welfare recipients, abortion providers, murderers, refugee claimants and owners of child pornography, that is -- if it applies the law of the land even handedly -- then it will be forced by its own precedents to declare the Firearms Act unconstitutional.

Right to Liberty

The Supreme Court has broadly interpreted the right to liberty (section 7 of the Charter) to protect "an irreducible sphere of personal autonomy wherein individuals may make inherently private choices free from state interference." The

Firearms Act interferes with this liberty by making illegal the mere act of owning a firearm inside one's own home. It does so without any evidence of harm to others, the prerequisite for limiting a citizen's freedom.

Right to Security of the Person

The Firearms Act violates the right to security of the person (section 7) by taking away the ability of citizens to defend their own homes and property. The right to bear arms for the protection of one's home, family and property has been recognized in English common law for over 200 hundred years. It is affirmed in the writings of Locke and Blackstone. This right is imported into Canadian law by the preamble to the BNA Act (1867) and by section 26 of the Charter.

The Firearms Act deprives Canadians of this right by making them completely dependent upon prompt police response in the case of home invasion and robbery. This deprivation is especially harsh for the thousands of Canadians who live in rural areas where police response is often hours after a 911 call has been placed.

Right to Procedural Fairness


The manner in which the Firearms Act is administered and enforced violates the rules of procedural fairness mandated by section 7 of the Charter ("principles of fundamental justice"). In the context of their abortion ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that criminal law must be enforced evenly in all parts of Canada. Seven provinces and territories have refused to administer the Firearms Act, creating a "checker-board" pattern of enforcement. What is legal in one part of Canada is illegal in another, and vice versa. The Charter does not permit this.

The selective enforcement of the Firearms Act also violates procedural fairness. Since the licensing requirements came into effect in 2000, no charges have been laid except as an additional charge in cases where a firearm has been used in the commission of a separate crime. This double standard violates the principle of uniform enforcement established in the Court's abortion ruling.

It also discriminates against individuals who are younger, poorer, less educated, urban and members of visible minorities -- the groups more prone to use firearms in the commission of a crime -- and in favour of unlicensed collectors, farmers, ranchers and hunters, who are generally older, more educated, more affluent and rural/small town. This double standard violates one of the oldest principles of Canada's rule of law tradition: "equality in the application and administration of the law."

Section 7

The Firearms Act violates the section 7 principle prohibiting unlimited administrative discretion. As Justice Conrad observed in her judgment in the Alberta Court of Appeal: "The entire licensing scheme is at the discretion of the Chief Firearms Officer. It is a discretion without minimum standards, or any absolute standards for that matter." This violates the rule of law requirement that, in the words of Dicey, prohibit "government based on the exercise by persons in authority of wide, arbitrary, or discretionary powers of constraint."

Right against unreasonable search and seizure


Section 8 of the Charter prohibits unreasonable search and seizure by the police. The courts have interpreted this to require the police to procure a search warrant from a judge before conducting a search, except in narrowly defined circumstances (e.g., "hot pursuit" or probable loss of evidence).

The importance of the warrant requirement is heightened when the premises being searched are a home. Sections 102-105 of the Firearms Act authorize warrantless searches in two instances: if the inspector has the consent of the occupant or has given the occupant "reasonable notice." Since these two exceptions allow the police to conduct searches and seizures -- in private homes -- without prior judicial approval, they violate section 8 of the Charter.

The search and seizure powers granted by the Firearms Act are also unconstitutionally broad. They authorize police to enter into private homes "at any reasonable time" and to search "any place where the inspector believes...there is a gun collection or a record [of a gun collection]" and "may open any container...examine any other thing that the inspector finds and take samples of it"; and "require any person to produce for examination or copying any records books of account or other documents." Such sweeping search powers violate the prohibition against police "fishing expeditions" imposed by the section 8 right against unreasonable search and seizure.

Right to privacy

The Supreme Court has also interpreted section 8 to impose a "reasonable expectation of privacy" from government, and applied this principle to protect impaired drivers, marijuana growers, and single parent welfare recipients. An applicant for a firearms license (POL or PAL) under the Firearms Act is forced to answer personal questions about his or her mental health history, personal finance, bankruptcy, drug use, job loss, and relationship breakdowns. The use of similar -- indeed, LESS intrusive -- questions about welfare applicants' personal lives was recently declared unconstitutional by an Ontario court. The use of these highly intrusive questions in the Firearms Act has already been condemned by the federal Privacy Commissioner.

Right to be presumed innocent

Two sections of the Firearms Act (ss.112.4 and107) place the burden of proof on the accused to prove his innocence. This violates the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. In Canada, this ancient right in all English-speaking democracies is given new constitutional protection by section 11(d) of the Charter.

The Supreme Court has used the right to the presumption of innocence to overturn other sections of the Criminal Code that punish drug-dealers (Oakes, 1986), impaired drivers (Whyte, 1988), pimps (Downey, 1992) and murderers (Chaulk, 1990). The courts will be obliged to extend the same constitutional right to law-abiding firearm owners.

Right against arbitrary detention


Section 9 of the Charter protects the right against arbitrary detention. The courts have interpreted detention to include being detained by police investigators to be asked questions.

(Therens, 1985) Sections 102-105 of the Firearms Act authorize police to demand of any person in a house being searched to provide them with assistance. The Act's use of phrases such as "cause to be used," "cause to be reproduced," "shall," and "require" indicate the coercive nature of the "request" for assistance and therefore constitute a detention as defined in earlier cases.

These detentions must be deemed arbitrary when they occur in the context of the two kinds of warrantless searches authorized by the Act. (See "Right against unreasonable search and seizure," above.) The detention is also arbitrary in the context of a warrantless search because it is "at the absolute discretion of the police officer." (Hufsky, 1988).

Right to freedom of expression

Section 2(b) of the Charter protects freedom of expression. The courts have interpreted this to protect not just written or spoken words, but also "expressive" activity such as marching in a protest rally. (Irwin Toy, 1989) The courts have also identified "individual self-fulfillment" as a core good advanced by freedom of expression. Linking these two, the BC Court of Appeal has ruled that "the personal belongings of an individual are an expression of that person's essential self" and that the possession of child pornography is therefore protected by section 2(b) of the Charter. (Sharpe, 1999)

Under these precedents, ownership of firearms qualifies as a form of expression protected by the Charter. This is doubly true for collectors of antique or rare firearms. It is also true for those who keep a firearm as a family heirloom to commemorate an ancestor's military service or pioneer roots.

These activities are all forms of self-fulfillment. In Keegstra (1990), a case involving hate propaganda, the Supreme Court ruled that the fact that an expressive activity is private and not intended for public consumption confers even greater protection on it. If possession of child pornography and racist propaganda are protected by section 2(b), then certainly possession of firearms enjoy the same or greater protection.

Right to bear arms

The right to bear arms has existed in English common law for at least 300 years and is imported into Canadian law by the preamble of the BNA Act, 1867 and section 26 of the Charter. Section 26 declares that traditional rights not listed in the Charter continue to have force and effect in Canada. The first explicit recognition of the right to bear arms in British-Canadian law occurs in the 1689 Bill of Rights. It is re-affirmed by the celebrated Blackstone in his Commentaries as one of the five most important rights of British subjects; and confirmed in several 18th and 19th century precedents.

Although this right is subject to regulation by parliament, in Sparrow (1990), the Supreme Court affirmed that regulation of a right does not automatically extinguish the right. The right to bear arms is thus an historical right of all Canadians; affirmed by section 26 of the Charter.

Since the Firearms Act prohibits the mere possession of a firearm -- even for purposes of self-defense in one's own home -- it violates this right. Given the intimate connection between the right of self-defense and to rights to life, liberty and security of the person protected by section 7 of the Charter, the state must justify its violation of this right according to the strict tests mandated by the Oakes precedent.

Right to counsel upon arrest or detention


Section 10(b) of the Charter protects the right to counsel "upon arrest or detention." The courts have interpreted this to mean that police cannot elicit evidence from suspects until or unless counsel (a lawyer) is present or the suspect has knowingly waived that right.

Those sections of the Firearms Act (ss.102-105) that allow an inspector to demand ANY person in the house to provide assistance are therefore in violation of section 10(b) of the Charter.

Right to property

The right to property is one of the oldest and most fundamental rights in British-Canadian legal history. The protection of private property against state deprivation can be traced to the Magna Carta (1215); the 1688 Bill of Rights; Locke's Second Treatise (1690), and Blackstone's Commentaries. Like the right to bear arms, the right to property is imported into Canadian law by the preamble to the BNA Act, 1867.

The protection of private property rights was one of the highest priorities of the Canadian founders. Canadian citizens' right to private property was confirmed by the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights.

In its 1986 Singh ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights continue in force even if they are not explicitly mentioned in the Charter -- which property is not. However, the Supreme Court has established that it may confer judicially enforceable constitutional protection on "unwritten constitutional principles" that are fundamental to Canadians' historical sense of justice.

The Court should be encouraged to add the right to private property to the five principles to which it has already given this protection: judicial independence, federalism, democracy, rule of law and minority rights. Indeed, without respect for the right to private property, these others would quickly become irrelevant.


Equality Rights


Section 15 of the Charter prohibits the government from discriminating against Canadians on the basis of irrelevant personal characteristics, particularly members of minority groups that have been historically disadvantaged. While some of the prohibited grounds of discrimination are enumerated in section 15, the Court can add new groups if it deems them to be "analogous" to the enumerated groups.

The Firearms Act discriminates unfairly and unreasonably against the following non-enumerated minorities in Canada:
rural Canadians and non-aboriginals who depend upon firearms for their livelihood.

Rural Canadians are represented by less than 31% of MPs in Parliament, and consequently their legitimate interests are systematically neglected by the majority of MPs who come from urban and suburban constituencies. Rural Canadians -- farmers, ranchers, trappers, and hunters -- regularly and lawfully employ firearms to make their living.

The effect of the Firearms Act is to impose taxes and a heavy regulatory burden on the tools of their trade. The Firearms Act also forces them to disclose sensitive personal and financial information, and threaten them with fines and/or incarceration if they fail to comply. It also has the effect of stigmatizing rural Canadians as somehow responsible for the increase in the illegal use of firearms, when in fact this is predominately an urban trend. This is precisely the type of unfair stereotyping of a politically vulnerable minority that section 15 prohibits.

The Firearms Act's exemptions for Aboriginals discriminate against similarly situated non-aboriginals on the basis of their race. Parliament realized that many Aboriginals farm, ranch, trap, or hunt for their living and therefore provided exemptions for this sub-group of Aboriginals. While this exemption is reasonable, it is under-inclusive because it excludes non-Aboriginals who farm, ranch, trap, or hunt for their living.

The Supreme Court has declared in Vriend (1998) and Law (1999) that statutes that confer a benefit but do not extend the benefit to a similarly situated minority (enumerated or analogous) violate section 15.


Section 27


Section 27 directs the courts to interpret the rights protected in the Charter in a manner that is consistent with the protection and preservation of Canada's multicultural heritage.

The lawful and legitimate use of firearms -- during the early years of settlement and still today by ranchers, farmers, trappers and hunters -- is an integral part of Canada's multicultural heritage.

Section 27 thus enhances all of the preceding rights of Canadian firearm owners.

Section 1

To the extent that the Firearms Act restricts any of the rights listed above, the burden of proof shifts to the government to prove that such restrictions are "reasonable." To do this, the Supreme Court has developed the "Oakes test", which requires the government to demonstrate that the Act: serves an important public policy objective. is rationally connected to that objective. impairs the right in issue as little as possible does more good than harm (proportionality).

While the purpose of the Firearms Act -- the reduction of illegal use of firearm violence -- easily qualifies as an important public policy objective, the means used to achieve this objective utterly fail the last three rules of the Oakes test.

In 1995 when the Firearms Act was enacted, there was no demonstrable need for new restrictions on firearm owners:
• Homicides were at a 25-year low.
• Firearms-related suicides were at a 25-year low.
• Hospitalizations due to firearms were at an 8-year low.

The Firearms Act goes much further than just creating a screening process for those who wish to acquire firearms. It criminalizes the very possession of a firearm in the absence of any wrongdoing or threat of harm to others.
Despite the mandatory registration of "restricted" weapons since 1969 robbery rates increased over next 20 years, as did the number of restricted weapons offenses. Handguns have required registration since 1934.

Three-quarters of all firearms-related deaths are suicide. Suicide is not a crime; does not threaten public safety; and would not be affected by registration requirements.
Over 90 percent of firearms-related violence involves handguns (mostly unregistered). Registering long-guns (shotguns and rifles) will have no effect on this.

In all violent crimes in Canada in 1996, only 3 percent involved any type of firearms. Knives and hockey sticks are a more prevalent form of assault weapon.

The Firearms Act targets the wrong demographic group. Most firearm-related crimes are committed by younger, urban residents with criminal records. The legal use of firearms is concentrated in older, rural and small town residents. Requiring the latter to register their firearms will have no effect on the former.

Evidence presented by the Justice Department to Parliament to justify the need for C-68 in 1995 has since been repudiated as inaccurate by the RCMP. The RCMP stated that the Justice statistics overstated the number of firearms used in violent crimes in 1993 by a factor of 9 (623 compared to 73 in reality).

Costs of implementing the Firearms Act have soared from the government's initial estimate of $85 million dollars over five years to over $670* million by July, 2002 -- with no measurable reduction in firearm-related violence.

This money has been spent primarily on hiring bureaucrats to run the new registry, not on law-enforcement officers. This money could be more effectively spent on longer incarceration of those convicted of using firearms to commit crimes and cracking down on gun smuggling -- the primary source of firearms used in crime in Canada. (*The Auditor General said in December of 2002 that the costs would be $1 BILLION by 2005)

There is no systematic verification of the accuracy of the information reported on registrations. The RCMP has said that it would take another 8.8 years to verify the accuracy of registration information on all shotguns and rifles. In 2002, eight firearm officers responsible for verification have resigned.

It was recently disclosed that one out of every six firearms registered has no serial number. This missing information will defeat one of the stated purposes of the Act: assisting police in tracing stolen firearms and firearms used in crimes.

The government's claim that the Firearms Act would deliver more effective screening of firearm owners has been contradicted by recently disclosed CFC information. Between 1979 and 1999 under the old FAC system, the "rejection rate" for applicants was .76 percent. Since 1999, the rejection rate for license applications under the new system is .38 percent, only half of the old rate. It is twice as easy for marginal applicants to become licensed under the new law.
Recent studies indicate that tougher gun control laws do not result in reduced crime rates or increased public safety. Indeed, they suggest the opposite.

In the United States, state attempts to regulate the ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens have resulted in higher violent crime (81%) and murder (127%) rates than in states without such laws. (Lott)

Since Great Britain banned all private ownership of handguns in 1997, violent crime rose 10 percent the next year and more than doubled from 1996 to 2000. (Malcom)

In Australia, since stringent new gun control laws were introduced in 1997, homicides involving firearms have doubled and armed robberies have increased 166 percent. (Mauser)

In 1983, New Zealand discontinued universal registration of firearms after that country's police declared that the policy was a complete failure.

In sum, there is no rational connection between the objectives of the Firearms Act and the means used to implement it. It violates multiple sections of the Charter of Rights and is having no effect on reducing the use of firearms in crime or better protecting public safety.

Fair-minded judges will have no choice but to declare the Firearms Act unconstitutional and to dismiss any criminal charges brought against law-abiding Canadian citizens for alleged violations of the Act. No Canadian can be convicted or punished for violating a law that is itself unconstitutional.

On Religion and War By R.Coldguy

All this ta-do about Religion being the cause of all wars.

Religion isn’t the cause of war. MAN IS!!!

Wars are MAN made!

As are all the religions of the world.

And if you take the time to look them both up in the Webster’s Dictionary God and Superman both have the same qualifications.

But no one’s running around saying Superman is a God now are they? (well other than me that is)

God is a belief, just as Santa Clause is a belief.

This does not make God real, any more than believing in Santa Clause
Make’s him real.

But when the little children believe in Santa Clause, He has a tendency to show up on Christmas morning bringing gifts.

We really can’t say the same for people that believe in God now can we?

At least I don’t ever remember God showing up on Sunday morning, not in all the years that I attended church anyway.

And when you get right down to it Santa Clause has been bringing nothing but happiness to the little children of the world.

God on the other hand lets millions of his little children die from starvation every year!

Bottom line people;

Religion doesn’t start wars man does and we have a far better chance that Superman will save the world than we do that all those unanswered prayers to God will.

And to tell you the truth, if I’m going to believe in some imaginary person bringing peace happiness and good will to all men.

I think I’ll stick with Santa Clause.

He has a better batting average than God. And to my knowledge there’s never been a war fought in the name of Santa :)

On the Homelss by R.Coldguy

House the Homeless

We here in BC (Canada Really) want to house the homeless. And yet I pass one of our fellow Canadians on occasion when I’m out for my morning walk.

Usually (or lets say more times than not) when I pass him on the trail, he is standing in front of his shopping cart with one of those little camping type mirrors shaving or brushing his teeth. (Using a city spigot)

Now here is a man that gets up pretty much the same time of day nearly everyday (that I have seen him anyway) that still has the self esteem that most business men have that go to nine to five jobs every day.

This man doesn’t want to be housed! He has give up on society (but not him self) he just doesn’t want to be a part of it anymore! (And I really can’t blame him)

We have welfare for those that want or need it; we don’t need to house the homeless!!! Why not try giving the homeless money for all the garbage ($/lb) they collect instead of just for pop cans and plastic bottles.

I’m willing to bet that Vancouver would be as clean if not cleaner than China or Japan in four to six months.

Give them all camouflage jump suits and the City will be cleaned up before the Olympics and the visitors won’t even see them J

Maybe if we got rid of the people that want to home the homeless that would probably save enough to pay the homeless for keeping our city clean.

I mean they’re coming here from all over Canada!!!

Why not put them to work???

Ya Ya I know, that’s Union work, well if it is then the Union workers are doing a piss poor job!

On Pot by R.Coldguy

It's time People!!!


In or around 1942 during the second war Trudeau and his friends drove their motorcycles wearing Prussian military uniforms, complete with pointed steel helmets.(protesting the War)

His wife Margaret smoked pot with the Rolling Stones in or around 1977 and was once quoted saying: It was easy to get marijuana,” We grew it in our gardens in the summertime” and yet we voted him in as prim Minster and excepted her with open arms as the youngest first lady of Canada. (This is over 30 years ago people)


The people running our government now where all around in 1969 when Woodstock was such a big hit with the young at heart, when the so called flower children of that time where preaching love and peace and yes smoking pot!! (This was 40 years ago)


And if anyone in a government position today say’s they didn’t try pot at some time in their life I would have to say they are lying through their teeth!!!


In the 19th century, Queen Victoria was told to smoke marijuana to treat menstrual cramps. The good things that marijuana does or can do is endless (look it up)


The list of prominent people that have smoked pot is endless, to long for this comment at any rate. (again look it up)


Let’s face it People, pot has been around since we lived in caves and it’s going to be around long after man kind has killed off all human life on this planet!!!


Ask anyone that grows pot if they want it legalized and I guaranty you that they will say NO!!! They make way to much money growing pot..


All this makes me wonder WHY doesn’t the government want to legalize pot??


Could it be that the drug lords, the politicians, the judges, the lawyers and the rich in general

are making way to much money of this cash cow????


The war on drugs can’t be won!!!! It’s a waste of our tax payer’s money; put the money into educating the people instead of incarcerating them!!!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see." - Thomas Jefferson 1781.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decriminalize drugs (All Drugs) stop putting our children friends and neighbors in jail and ruining there lives for such stupid laws as smoking pot.

Canada and the USA spend millions/billions on the war on drugs. a war that Canada and the USA are losing!!!

What a waste of taxpayers money!!!

Stop the drug dealers the cartel the crime on the streets and stop wasting money on a war that we can't win!!!

We are wining the war on cigarettes and we are wining it with advertising not putting honest people in jail!!!

Put the criminals in jail and use the money to educate the public about drugs and to help the addicts with there addictions. Drug addiction is a sickness just like being an alcoholic is a sickness!!! you don't put alcoholics in jail for drinking and you don't wast tax payers money on fighting the cause of there addiction (alcohol). So why are we wasting money on fighting drugs???

Decriminalize drugs and let the police fight real crime.

And for you bleeding hearts that are saying I must be a druggie.

I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't do drugs!!!!

I just don't agree with putting our children in jail and ruining there lives when we can educate them against falling in to the trap of drug addiction.

Most crimes are committed under the influence of alcohol and yet the it;s legal!!!

People smoke pot and get happy and yet it's illegal ???

Do your research on drugs and stop listening to what the government and bible thumpers are telling you!!!

Stop the war on drugs!!! it's not working!!! All it's doing is putting money in the pockets of the judges, the lawyers, the police and criminals of our country.
