Month: August 2015
This picture taken in my backyard reminds me of the beautiful lush vegetation of Thailand. I have spent about a year off and on in this fantastic country. Thailand has its own very unique architecture, Tuk Tuk and whip tail boats. It is also the only South East Asian country that has never been conquered.
I really do not know what to think or who to support in the latest political quagmire. I have been in Thailand during a previous military coup. It was no big deal then, and now likely much the same. The army seems to step in when the ruling elite Red Shirts (mostly ethnic Chinese) loses control of the ethnic Thai.
The twice democratically elected Yellow Shirt party that was ousted is on the surface a populist party spreading the riches a little wider. However, the leaders of this movement seem very adapt at using this process as cover to make out like bandits. The CIA, and Neocons are in bed with the Yellow shirts.
Hopefully the Army can reset democracy for one more try. Based upon my experience I would not avoid travel to Thailand at this time, but may pass on Bangkok. (published May 25th, 2015)
Pool is officially open. After the worst winter in memory the earliest opening in history. Hopefully a harbinger of a wonderful summer. It makes me reflect upon the absolutely crazy weather experienced by most of America last week. Sooner or later this is going to have a serious effect upon the US economy and when they catch a cold Canada gets pneumonia.
Two of the current Conservatives government’s many massive fails are failure to address climate change, and putting all our economic eggs in the energy superpower basket. Canada has gone from a 30% value added economy under Liberal leadership to an 82% hewer of wood and drawer of water under the Conservatives. Serious missteps that will take decades to recover from.
Just like the huge miss on the National Energy Plan of Pierre Elliot Trudeau. If his policy had been adopted Canada would be a Norway with ten times the population.
These two photos make me think aboot transit and sustainability.
Thats an 11 year old bike and it still works like new. I spend about $50 a year maintenance. The cost of buying a machine needs careful consideration, matching needs to budgets and constraints. However the upfront cost pale in comparison to the maintenance costs. That’s been the disaster of our transit system.

Argentina and Iceland. Read about it think aboot it. Its seems the way of the future is to not talk about it. One big nation and one insignificant one have said no mas. Zero Credit History must be making some wave tontie.
Stay away from financial buildings out of caution. Soap caution. Soap Caution, the cleanest one available.
Mr Alsweilem wrote in a Harvard report that Saudi Arabia would have an extra trillion of assets by now if it had adopted the Norwegian model of a sovereign wealth fund to recyle the money instead of treating it as a piggy bank for the finance ministry. The report has caused storm in Riyadh. It should be causing a CAT5 Hurricane in Ottawa and Calgary, two current oil capitals that have pissed away a fortune Norway could only speculate about. Brian Mulroney and the tax lemming conservatives made 3 giant policy decisions. The GST has been a Godsend. Free Trade with Mexico a soul crusher for Canada’s middle class. Abandoning the National Energy Plan that Norway later adopted carte Blanche the single biggest folly of government short of unnecessary war in the 20th century
Oh yes the footsoldier John Brown.

For truth speaks softly
It is not boastful nor proud
Truth whispers low
Solemn quiet
It wraps around
Like Smoke
Subtle and free
Truth Knows no Boundaries
No limits Truth Speaks
From within
Not without
It floats In the spaces
Of dreams
It is not angry or vengeful
Truth simply is
It cannot Be hidden
Nor disguised Truth
Shines Like iridescent Dew
It rests Within Your heart
Of hearts Truth
Unchanged Living
The promise
As it was so
It shall Be
Cry The Tears
Dreamwalker

Soap Caution, Soap Caution
the cleanest caution around
being clean is a great advantage
scrubbing the Demetris that is genetically
unbound
the body politics
with a natural sound
and super zonic clarity
created dedicated farmed essentially
artificially simulated synthetic organics
GMO
brought to you by
your friendly neighbourhood
Monsanto
Bose Bose Bose Bose Bose boss
surround
it sure pops
the first time
but will your ears
stick around
I love my pioneering 501
but today its old
technology
and market hype
about reflections
has not escaped
the aural markets
detection
(what was I thinkingaboot this verse?)
Bubble baths of cash and credit
lounging around in copper tubs
and vaults of imaginary
wealth created by the masters of the universe
because its easier to lead with carrots
than sticks
most citizens
statistically more accurate
than the false average
pounding bricks
to create castles
in which they will
never live
Buy once your hooked for life
life filled with bright lights
stuff fuelled by
canned emotion
packaged harvested and paid for
with fairy dust and ground unicorn horns
Drunk on Jesus Juice
powerful distillations of
intoxicating our lizard brains
with messages we must absorb or
go insane
worse
be shunned by the powerful
oh the humanity oh the humanity
a personal Hindenburg
created just for me
and ten billion
friends
drinking by Ascension
the Tony Robbins kool aid
we have a sugar shack economy
retrofit sweat sweeting the tar paper
in a shotgun shack
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger on Thursday Friday
and Saturday
Don’t call me Wimpy
or I will pop you in the eye
Hamburger caution
Soap caution the best security around
being clean is a great advantage
cause zero hour is cumming down
fall fall fall fall fall fall
all the way
down down down
really fucking far far down
even though the authority declared
them fiscally sound
metaphorically and electronically
devastated by the programed
high speed trade
of integrity for credibility
and short term guaranteed profit
Deity
based on math fractals
of personality love
and exponential selfies
realized by digital film
that needs no
silver oxide
thinkaboot it
Technology power can push the past aside
but tomorrow and the day after already exists today
as an overshoot
like playing lawn darts
drunk and you kill
your uncle because
you never realized
games were that sharp
toys don’t kill
people do
time for the planetary people
to put the toys
like we are grownups
again
I do not ever believe I wrote what I say
God delivered this message
I am just his highest messanger

reality busting devices failing like Farabochi Fibonacci dominoes.
the masters of the universe creating their own black holes
the fall that started so cleverly acceleratingly
sinister as the event horizon looms
muppets stripped in a feeding burlesque
to supply the drones
commanded to Marshall the resources
to feed the flickering reality distortion field
exhausting the participants
until the physics dictates
they all fly into the singularity
When all the gravity defying souls
are sucked away
it should leave lots of room
for best practices practitioners
to clean up the mess
that will take decades
and even centuries
to clean away.

Imagine an economy based upon
cows instead of gold
because a cow gives
you nourishment everyday
and a feast on retirement
while gold just weighs
you down doubling
down for
for disaster
or spending capital
on worry
which is even to the
best practioners
a out of control
spread
Lets pull the plug
on the reality distortion field
before it leaves the world
starving and poor
we humans have simple minds
and flashy image over time
diluted our simple minds
do not forget to eat
or shower
or there could be
a big stink
one is for a limited time
and can be corrected
but the second choice
is forever
I love milk from
healthy teats
and that is because
I was born
so do not take
away my nourishment
with vitamin porn
The world today is
nothing but confusion
and conflicting stories
most of which IMHO
are not true
and so it goes
and so it goes
but Fuck Kurt Vonugunt
we have all the information
in the world
yet a big minority
choose to use it
to declare
I am as stupid as
I want to be
and thats my right
and if I get enough
similar members
I can make stupidity
a civil right
Maslovs needs
was as accurate as we
need to be as a society
so lets just give the fish
a smile for a while
and the crops will
come in and the
workers covered
in sweat and pollen
and GOD KNOWS
somewhat
will celebrate the harvest
knowing they did the
big part
The world my friend is hanging
by a human thread
can we darn
fast enough
to fill in the
centuries of
holes in our
collective
walking socks?
Coming back to cow
in a state broken
and with no hope
its a Cadillac or
a rare Ferrari
of hope
and the owner
can declare
themselves
local pope.

Of all the freedom fighters in Canadian History
none is more famous or has greater
modern acknowledgement
than Norman Bethune
He went to China
to help the communist
overcome the
Kum in tong
His side won
and his place in
history was
multiplied
by many factors
to permanent greatness
Fast forward from the clarity
of yesterday
Steve Harper
would have
taken his
passport away
and stripped him
of any medical licence
long before he
even thought of saving a life
If they rounded up all his friends
it would shut down the U of T
and still if would be called
and action of democracy
Today we have two classes
of Hemingway fighters
those who fit the template
we admire and fund
those who do not
are Muslim or Russian Scum
of greater good
and personal need
Now I am old enough to appreciate
that humans do
but to think that
one side in a conflict is
morally correct and the
other is vacuum deficient
will not bring victory to either side
For sure the ISIS forces are
the worst of the worst
but are they in the employ
in the CIA?
You want to read somethings unredacted
that will send a chill up your unicorn spine
look at the dispatches from Vietnam
if this is not enough
or Gitmo
the point is that
when it comes to war
there is no high ground
just two warriors
in full armour
trading broadswords
hoping to rebound
on the sacred ground
Do those bad ass mutherfuckers
fight for me?
That’s the reality
bad ass motherfuckers
what would they do
if we did not have
prisons to contain them
or wars to entertain them?
They might come to your
neighbourhood and declare
that now they were the
local warlord!
herding cats is hard
herding humans is impossible
but still at university we
study ways to understand
infinity
Civilisation is like a decaying sun
its going to burn off 20% every day
until it burns down
The only import fact in that
equation for human kind
is the timeline
it is billions of years
Now back to Bethune
who made an impact
on a billion people
not be suspect
he did it without
modern propaganda
or agenda
he was
he WA
was was he
do it right
and the people will remember
forever
and no one so far
can plan that from above
its just in history
he was
Where is the Spanish Civil war
when we need some kind of line
in the sand between wrong and right
Syria, Iraq and Ukraine are all rolled
up to me in some kind of magical
CIA game
We fight in Syria with Iranian allies
and we want to take the Sunni city
of Mosul
with our Shia allies
who hate our guts fundamentally
and why are we here
because of oil
but at the end of
the day why not just
hire EXXON to produce
a better result in the
same way
without
harming one hair
on an child?
The price of gas goes up
while the price of oil tanks
that is the mind
of the people we
should employ to make a
civilization mastermind
because aside
from eating and drinking
and expelling
its all imagination
