For the past week, you could watch the protestors occupy Wall Street.
Maybe this is the beginning of the U.S. insurrection against banker occupation, with a little occupation of their own.
You can visit them here (http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution)
They have discovered the Secret of Oz, and they don’t like it. How about you?

Oh, suck it up slave! We don’t want to listen to your “middle class” sniveling.
Violated? You ain’t seen nothing yet anarchist!
But thanks for showing up to the “show” because without you, we’d have looked pretty stupid.
Bob, did you get me throwing that scum in the back of the van? Do you think lots of people filmed it? Yeah, do you think it will end up all over you tube? Go viral? Awesome! Yeah, I pounded that slave, that conspiracy whackjob! Whoohoo!
Yeah, but Phil, did you catch how I hit the gas and sped away. Too bad that van didn’t have more power or I could have left some tread on the street. That would have looked cooler.
Canada, you have a choice. You can decide that you are okay, the rest are not, or you could decide you are no better than the rest of those losing wealth, with too much time on their hands.
“Those people” tend to drift to the internet to see what the heck happened. And with all that investigation, they get their minds all filled with knowledge and facts, and other nasty things. Then, they form an opinion, perhaps have waves of what they call “revelation”, and then they get a glazed look in their eyes.
Kind of like the Return of the Living Dead movies.
The Black Bloc in a show where the phone rings in the ambulance and the zombie says, “Send more Paramedics”. Yep, they’ve gone mad. Gotta stop ‘em zombie conspiracy dudes. More jails to contain these ‘problems’.
So choose Canada. Support the filling of the new jails that are to be built by our P.M. and his new majority or don’t.
And hang in there if your neighbor turns conspiracy zombie too. Don’t let it get to you. Hang on as long as you can.
This is a game, and whether you like it or not you are a player. But they need you to keep turning a blind eye to those that become whacky, and remember, they deserve what they get.

Go away conspiracy theorist!
Sure, you might have read the recent article in the May 23rd, 2011 edition of Maclean’s Magazine, on bin Laden and the ‘Culture of Conspiracy’. Ewwwww… which side are you on “Conspiracy Theorist“?
They’ll scrap the long-gun registry, and sign on for 65 F-35 fighter jets, and build a lot more jails.
Don’t question that move Canadian, unless you want to be a conspiracy theorist. Our leader has his majority now, so accept it, do not question, and hope all is good for a long, long time.
Obvious which side Maclean’s is on. But don’t let me tell you what to believe you conspiracy theorist, you dirtbag. You who has lost your mind, perhaps your marriage, and is living now on donations! Don’t let me tell you what is politically correct, and what the majority is thinking; and if you think that way you must be becoming paranoid. No, don’t let me sway your decision to have a right to look into evidence and form an opinion.
Just know one thing conspiracy theorist – -what we want you to know — the moment, yes the very moment you start to pay attention to things around here that challenge the government or the governments of the world, and the very second you think for a milisec that the government may not tell you 100% truth, you are, dare I say, a full-fledged, whackjob conspiracy theorist! Okay?
Don’t pay attention to the fact that Anwar al_Awlaki dined at the Pentagon shortly after 9/11. Forget that, conspiracy theorist, and just tune-in to when the media says he is a huge threat, and Canadians are a threat too if they have any business with him. The Pentagon? Forget it, they are okay because they are the Pentagon. They are allowed to give the guy a dinner. If you did it – - terrorist!
Don’t for God’s sake, look into the idea that al-Qaeda is a CIA creation. That would lead to more thought. And thought, well, that gets you into trouble my friend.
The key to staying in good stead is to not pay attention to anything except the official stories the governments tell you. Then you will be politically correct, stay off the watch lists, and not be a conspiracy theorist.
So go ahead, read the article in Macleans magazine on the Culture of Conspiracy (sorry, not yet available online!), and if you are smart, you will snub your nose at those that have gone from father, mother, architect, military official, doctor, and all other walks of “normal” life to the dark side. Yes, that’s what we’re talking about, the dark side of becoming a conspiracy theorist, because that explains the state of crazy mind of anyone that doesn’t believe that the government is good, and caring, and looking out for you. Remember the words of Glenn Beck, you are not one of those are you?
They are so caring that the Harper government is going to build more jails as a primary initiative now that most Canadians were trusting enough to vote for him, and give him the control he needs to implement that decision.
But when you starve the education system and the kinds of supports that build healthy families (definitely the first things chopped under conservative or right-wing governments) you’re going to get more social problems.
And while Dalton McGuinty has washed his hands of guilt for the injustice to Canadians rallying in protest to the banking system at the G20 meeting, McGuinty was quick to point to Harper. Hmm, the very same Harper that wants to build more jails. Hmmm, well what about more funding for student loans, healthcare, other things good for the Canadians that trust him? No, sorry folks, more jails is the priority.
And how did I know he wants to build more jails for the nasties in Canada?
Well, that’s easy, I read that article in Maclean’s before reading why a conspiracy theorist has lost his mind.
I just have one question and one worry. If I say Harper wants to build more jails, does that make me a conspiracy theorist?
And, I don’t know if this makes me a conspiracy theorist, but I do agree with the words eloquently pointed out:
So you need to build more jails. And if you build more jails, you need to find some way to fill them. Did you know the US spends more on jails than it does on education? That the state of California in the last decade laid off 10,000 teachers but hired 10,000 more prison guards?
Golly, and as I try not to think the way of the nasty conspiracy theorist, I can’t help but drift back into thinking that the article telling us it is dangerous politics to challenge a government, your government; that there is a chance that the new criminal may be a criminal of the mind — a thought criminal.
And, those thought criminals would not be cold blooded, maximum security types, but they could be the types that would have protested the “new world” as Harper has told us, that Canada has to give up it’s sovereignty because that’s just the way the world is now. What was that again? A global reality? Something like that.
Well, I can certainly see where a media source like Maclean’s would have to paint a picture of the new, low risk criminal worthy of jail space.
Those conspiracy theorists that pose a threat to government, who challenge the leaders whether they are truthful or not.
And remember, Maclean’s would like you to believe they are as “fair and balanced” as Fox News in the U.S.. Yep, they have not reported with a negative spin on conspiracy theorists before, nope, not a chance. Nope, they make sure they give you the facts without trying to shape your opinion with various hit pieces over time. Because, if they did that, they would be challenged on their motives, and might be questioned on who they serve.
Those nasty conspiracy theorists might form a group called people for media truth or some such thing.
Don’t question media Canada, no more so than questioning government. Take both as 100% gospel truth. And, those jails you will simply drive by, not occupy.
And that would go double for journalists turned conspiracy theorists that don’t buy everything the government tells them too. Too bad, they could have been a contenda!
I wonder if some reporters for Maclean’s were treated poorly at the G20 too. Just wondering, because they may be creating a nightmare for themselves too. Just a thought.

Seemed crazy it did that the Bloc Québécois wanted to get elected in the national elections in order to separate Quebec from Canada. Ridiculous you might say. Of course, they never got their way, largely because they made no bones about their agenda. Their mandate never seemed to make any sense. But don’t let their confused honesty fool you. The world of politics in Canada is far from what most believe.
We all knew using a national election for provincial needs was ludicrous. But what about using a national election to further the cause of globalization and complete lack of democracy? Would that be any nuttier?
Harper used the promise of sovereignty to win a majority in this election. The problem is, he has repeatedly told Canada we have no real sovereignty.
But, the only way he was to ensure a majority and win the national election in Canada was to appear patriotic. Wave the flag, even though your past actions have suggested Canada should be patriotic, at the same time as telling Canada that there is a new reality; that Canada is part of a global economy; a reality that means we have to give up our sovereignty.
Now, had Stephen Harper been as brazen as the Bloc in Quebec, he might have come out and said that he wants Canada to give up it’s sovereignty and join a North American Union, leading to the new global government model when enough pain has been dished out. And that would be a bottom line of losing our political process, to go the way of the European Union, where democracy has been replaced by a “corporate-like” autocracy.
There are no true democratic elections to decide the leaders in Europe, it is simply a board of directors appointing their lackies to follow the bigger agenda, regardless if the people want it or not.
Would Harper have gone by way of Iggy and the Liberals if presented his platform that way?
Now, let’s look at a film that is well done, and well worth the two hours it will take to watch. It’s called the Global Hostile Takeover, and it paints a picture based on fact that irrefutably brings home the mission that has transcended party lines, countries, and perceived differences.
It shows a mission that may make you have that ah ha moment when you realize they are taking away our prosperity, and shaking the foundation of our security with the resurrection of the Al-Qaeda threat.
All part of creating the two problems before they roll out the solution. The first, your prosperity and financial wealth is under attack. Second, your safety will be challenged with the promise of more terror attacks. Goodbye security.
Hence, the Security and Prosperity Partnership rolled out in Canada first by Paul Martin, and then furthered by Harper with Bush’s support, not to mention Mexico, was designed as the solution to the created problems that we are witnessing today. Boy, they sure knew what was coming, didn’t they?
It may leave you wondering if those conspiracy people had a point after all. When they told you of the problem-reaction-solution nature of the globalists ploy to create problems, watch the people squirm, and then come in as the heroes, you might realize that the events that have taken place the world over are absolutely no random acts – - oh the contraire — this has all been planned a long time ago, and is just being unraveled as we watch the horror of the globalists’ current panic.
The bin Laden hoax has had many lies and inconsistencies and backtracking to cover lies. It is horrifying not so much because it is a government caught in a lie, but what it represents and clarifies.
The Bush Administration working with the current Obama Administration, working with leaders the world over to support a lie, to further wars and occupations; to give excuse to get at Pakistan, and one step closer to disaster.
The bin Laden “going for broke” announcement is the globalists playing the joker card, and proving there is no turning back now. The Jeannie is out of the bottle, the full circle effect of 9/11 is going to give some more people the realization that the globalists pulled off 9/11, the ensuing Patriot Act, and are part of something purely sinister.
But if you haven’t got the big picture yet, here’s a great place to start:

Pathetic people, pathetic.
Look at all the NHL waste in the deep southern U.S. But let me guess, those are “bigger markets” than the relatively small market of Edmonton. Do we have that right?
In Tampa Bay, you can get nosebleed season tickets for a whopping $5.43 per game (yes that’s right people in Toronto, that decimal is two places from the right – - you got it!). Toonie movie Tuesdays may have some competition after all!
In Phoenix Glendale, excuse me, you can get that same Tampa experience for $10.73 per game. Still not bad.
How about Edmonton? You know, the small market team that will have to build a new arena to stay sustainable? That will be $31.53, or almost 6 times the Tampa deal, and almost 3 times more expensive than for the Coyotes.
It’s called market demand, and what someone is willing to pay. It also means that hockey in Phoenix is a little more popular (perhaps) than hockey in Tampa, but by no means is it as popular as in Edmonton.
So, the Edmonton fans are willing to part with more money as an entertainment choice than the two other markets mentioned above.
And that brings us to this point: How can Gary Bettman and Daryl Katz tell us that to sustain the hockey franchise you will have to build a new arena?
Put another way, why is Gary Bettman not saying to Glendale that hockey is not sustainable with these revenue streams in Glendale?
The only factor that makes it okay to live with NHL welfare in Glendale is the fact that the team was put there with the development of the Westgate Arena District.
What, therefore makes Glendale worth preserving is the “deal” that was put in place to build the arena and the development with a city-owned arena similar to that planned for Edmonton.
Revenue streams are a complex issue I am sure Gary Bettman would tell us. He continually mentions these words to explain why these new complexes and infrastructures must be built. In other words, Katz who made his money in pharmacies, and Bettman who is a lawyer and sports league commissioner are suddenly experts in urban planning.
Like they have looked at the demographic of Edmonton? They studied the flow of immigration and how residents are attracted to the city? They have looked at the social costs and issues that are competing with the all important “revenue dollars” of Edmonton, and can immediately, with conviction say this is how taxpayer funds should be spent? Really?!?
I like to call a con a con.
The truth is they have something to sell and the issue of answering the objections to their “sell” is how this will truly be money well spent. How will it benefit the city compared to other investments? Taking hockey away from Edmonton is the emotional sell that is supposed to cloud better judgement. The threat is often mentioned strategically to let its audience say, “Well, if it means we don’t lose hockey, then I guess we had better go with it, something, anything, as long as we keep our Oilers!”
There’s a term for this type of persuasion – - it’s called Coercion! Here’s the state of your city Edmonton, and if you don’t do this, then you will be worse off, you will likely lose a lot – - the hockey team, the “world-class status”. In short, you will become losers! You don’t want to be losers do you? We don’t mean this year’s record of the Oilers either. We mean real losers. Nobody will want to come here from other parts of the world for education. You won’t be able to get businesses to locate here, and yada, de, dada, dada day!
Daryl Bonar who ran for mayor in 2010 said he was not a big fan of PPP (Public-Private Partnerships).
We have a lot more digging to do, but we will leave you with this for the moment, Gary Bettman has said that the Goldwater Group are not elected officials, and if they want to make an impact they are not part of Glendale’s City Council.
Really Gary?
So, Goldwater should not be suggesting what belongs in another department so to speak?
So why are you and Katz telling Edmonton how to spend its tax dollars, and how did you guys become experts in urban planning, development, and tax planning?
I think there are other people whose noses are now out of joint.
It’s all about tapping that taxpayer with publicly-owned arenas and more important providing revenue streams of taxpayer debt payments to a bunch of guys nobody will ever truly see.
When Katz was questioned why he didn’t just build the arena with his own money, he had all kinds of reasons, the least of which was just how complex and mind-blowing the financing would be. Yes, paying into perpetuity is the goal Mr. Katz, isn’t it? Getting at the taxpayer bucks.
If Katz owns the team, why doesn’t he own the arena and leave the taxpayers alone? Why do they delve into other areas of urban development as well. It’s hockey he is the owner of right? Don’t do this mega complex and the Oilers disappear? Hello, anybody out there?!?
Yeah, just how complex those “revenue streams” must be as Gary Bettman explains it as an excuse to why arenas need to be built. Impossible to figure out for the average shmo. And that’s the whole point, isn’t it?

Think back to how fast the Winnipeg team was swept out from under the feet of the good people of Winnipeg. And let’s be clear, I am not one of those good people. I am not from Winnipeg. But, after all this time, I feel like a brother. I feel like the moment I cross the border into Manitoba, it will feel like going to a friend’s house, where his mom asks if you would like to stay for dinner, and although it’s Canada, there’s “an apple pie in the oven”, and boy does it smell good.
Matthew Hulsizer caught wind it would seem that the NHL may have a further trick up its sleeve to sell to someone, anyone, at drastically reduced prices, because although they need revenue to cover losses, they may not want to admit what might be the bigger kettle of fish facing them.
It may not be about getting value for a franchise as the facade being displayed to the hockey world. Something tells me that if the powers that be say hockey will remain at Jobing.com arena, the gods have spoken. Hockey will remain!
Those encumbrances were not part of the picture for Winnipeg way back when in 1996 (it was then, wasn’t it?). You can look up some old video on YouTube where a lady in a bar is seen saying why should the team take tax dollars away from the City of Winnipeg when we have starving homeless people on the street?
That’s just it, isn’t it? Why should a sports league demand a situation where cities are held hostage? Well, one might consider this: Is it the NHL that has taken on more than it can chew in Glendale with whomever holds those nasty Jobing.com bonds? Worth repeating, the lawyers for the City of Glendale mentioned in court that if they lost the team, another hockey team would have to replace it.
Okay, search everyone, search. Where’s the legal arrangement that is holding everyone hostage? It’s so bad, that things will become even more obvious.
What if there are a bunch of rich dudes in Abu Dhabi that are jumping up and down, adamant that this get fixed, or else!
Hulsizer is scratching his head. Hey, wait a minute, why would the NHL sell this team for less than what it offered it to me?, he might be thinking. Would he be then getting ripped off? What’s up with that?
Well, Mr. H should remember Jim Balsillie’s offer that was but wasn’t $212.5 million. Or was it higher? Eh, doesn’t matter really, because unless it was a bajillion dollars it would not satisfy the “sales tax” hound investors likely!
According to the Bet man, the offsets and credits would make it a much lesser number, but it didn’t matter. Probably it didn’t matter because it wasn’t a bajillion “walk away” dollars. It was probably about 87.5 % shy of breaking even to break out of the deal. How much cash is in the NHL vaults? Uh oh!
And unlike the Military Industrial Complex that can raise bucks by telling us all that a guy in a beard hiding in a well-ventilated cave is a threat, the Sports Industrial Complex has to do it by creating a “fear war” that a franchise is not viable if you don’t go along with taxpayer-buck-sucking developments fronted often by owners coming across as “good generous guys“. Oh my, they are so nice to make our city world class! Hurrah for the big complex that the Mayor is just wondering why there aren’t any details for – -hurray!! Find the money quick – - keep those investment savages happy – - hurry !
To admit the team must, by some agreement somewhere be kept in Glendale would suggest there are investors behind the scenes that didn’t exist in Winnipeg.
Things happened a whole lot differently where there were no incumbrances, eh?
That huge sucking sound was the arena and the team draining down the bathtub hole – — squish shoomp – - good to the last drop, get over it Winnipeg, pretend we never were here! I think I could see Gary and Bill in their overalls on the back of the moving truck attaching the sticker “Phoenix or bust”.
Okay the verdicts in — it’s BUST!
The next rabbit up the sleeve might be even more telling and embarrassing for the embattled Commissioner: What if he has to sell at any price to keep the team in Glendale because those investors won’t budge? What if those investors are going to get that sales tax related revenue by cracky or it’s going to get Coyote ugly for the NHL, and all the good boys that put this stinkin‘ deal together? Ouch!
Might lead to a very weary Commissioner feeling a little less than happy to have his job right about now. The house of cards, she’s a shakin’ no?
The option is “whatever someone might pay, right Mr. B?:
“I will not say today when the end is and I will not set a deadline. But at some point, we may have no choice but to begin pursuing our other alternatives,” he said. “We have options but I’m not going to discuss them.”
A rock bottom price might be negative $40 million.
That’s right, pay us $40 million a year and we will put our name on the ownership papers, because wasn’t that what the team lost on pure hockey operations this year?
And, let’s look at the parking thing.
Goldwater says that the City has rights to parking, and the City is saying the team does. Someone call Jerry Moyes…..“Jerry Moyes to the stand, the plaintiff calls Jerry Moyes”. “Mr. Moyes, did you know you had rights to parking even though you asked repeatedly, and the City of Glendale never returned your phone calls?”
That would mean Goldwater stayed awake during this two-year merry-go-round.
Let’s see, there was Jerry Moyes trying to hang on to the team asking for parking rights – - nope, City no talky to Jerry (Moyes that is, the other Jerry, different treatment).
Ellman wanted to dip into parking at some point too. Sorry Mr. E.
Reinsdorf came with concession list in hand like a kid at Christmas laying out the cookies and milk for Santa. Nope, not even the White Knight can pull it off. Bye Jerry, see ya buddy!
The “low-lying fruit” that Ice Edge had included in their thinking that would get this off the ground, including parking, we were not supposed to remember? Man, no wonder the NHL was so quick to want to get this resolved in court, but as soon as the case was over – - they put the brakes on, and went back in the huddle for a year and a half or so. Problemo amigo!
And, the rabbit that Glendale hopes is in the hat to solidify their case is parking?
They were hoping the Goldwater Group would not remember the charade of parking concessions paraded up and down every single offer as crucial to make the deals fly?
Is it any wonder Goldwater wants to do a joint press conference with Gary Bettman, but Bettman will not fight the losing battle?
So, if the last rabbit from the hat is Glendale cutting the bond offer, and the NHL will have to give away the ship because of the men in Abu Dhabi it would be so sweet poetic justice wouldn’t it?
It would mean the NHL and Glendale’s only other option would be to maybe pay those mystery men $720 million - – the lease break penalty and hope they go away. Then Glendale could sue the NHL, but then they would be up against every sport like football and basketball, and all other sports that tap into taxpayer dollars. Well maybe not basketball, Phoenix would have that problem.
Yeah, the Goldwater Group might just look at the Sports Industrial Complex and see it is just a means to separate people from their money. Is it a wonder so many hockey owners also run the horses and Casinos?
See – - nobody lies! They tell us exactly what it’s all about, we just choose not to see the monopoly of wealth suckers because they go by the title of sports owners, foreign investors, investment bankers, and on and on.
Don’t pay attention Goldwater to the fact that all the sports teams were behind keeping the Coyotes in Glendale. They were so nice to support a friend in the NHL. It makes us all warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it? Yeah, they had no reason to support the location of a franchise built on land and urban planning, no. It was all just the “principle of the thing”. Mmmmm hmmm.
So Mr. Hulsizer, if you can find even a little cash on your own, here’s a hint, forget the bond offer, do us a favor and help us show just how desperate and helpless the NHL really is on this one.
And at that point, the jig will officially be up!
Bullet:
Story:
Winnipeg has been assured a franchise by the NHL?
Oh, really?
Forget the old days where it was taboo to disrupt the fans and the viability, vitality, or whatever “V” word Bill Daly felt good about that day, the time to suck the money dry of deep pockets might be over.
Take this picture of a group of guys that might as well be three times as many….the owners of the conglomerate of the Atlanta Thrashers.
Click the pic to see why the “Atlanta Spirit LLC” is running out of resources to keep the spirit alive in Atlanta.
The fans, it is claimed, are discerning on how they want to spend their money.
More like, the fans are broke, the State is broke, and the U.S. is broke.
U.S. unemployment is jokingly and pathetically posted at 9. (something) %. Want the truth, things are so bad people have given up looking for work — they aren’t part of the numbers. True unemployment is conservatively well over 20%.
Discerning fans may be choosing food or overpriced NHL hockey….hmmmm let’s think - – Food wins!
The days of overpriced athletics is going quickly by way of the DoDo bird.
In the short run, Canada will be the newfound hero, where suddenly, with the Canadian buck priced over the U.S. greenback, there will not be the argument that the players are paid in U.S. dollars. Soon the NHLPA will be negotiating the players be paid in Yuan or Renminbi, or how about gold or silver coins? Players in the NHL may be looking at how much their pay is worth, similar to the way we look at how gas prices look ’cause the tank is low, and well, can I hang on ’till tomorrow?
Gary Bettman perhaps saw the future a long time ago. Those deep pocketed guys that were easy to abuse like Jerry Moyes are long gone. The groups of 10, 12, heck 25 won’t cut it either.
Perhaps they should sell shares of the NHL teams at the arena by the same vendors that sell programs. I can hear it now, Programs, shares, get your ownership here!
Tony Tavares’ pockets weren’t deep enough not long ago….my my, how things change quickly!
