So let’s see if we can get the facts in line for the Trump administration as of the six month mark. (It has only been six months of this?) The Donald having failed at business, going bankrupt eight times, costing American banks millions was unable to find a lender for his next failure. So he went east to Russia. Thereby began his new empire of money laundering for the Russian Mob, oligarchy and anyone else that could pay his bills for him. Hence why he has such a close relationship with the actual New York Mob and why his personal lawyers are all Mob lawyers. Then he ran for President. Thus, inevitable comes his illegal dealings with Russia, seeking their aid and assistance with the election. We have collusion with his sons and strange Russians who seemingly no one can come up with who exactly were there. It started out with only a few and has grown to legions. All the while anyone who reports it is making false news. Whereas the kind of false news AKA Fox has to do back flips in order to keep on supporting Trump and his failed Presidency. Next comes the firings! Spicer then Reince Priebus who knows who is next? Perhaps we can guess that it will be Attorney General Sessions, in order to get someone compliant enough to fire special prosecutor Mueller. People say Watergate was an intense time. This one is even worse. Who knows where it will end. In Presidential Pardons? Already in the forefront of Trump’s position and ready to be used in a moment notice. Which like anything that Trump has done, being the total failure that he is, when he pardons all his co-conspirators, they will be brought in and forced to testify or be charged with Obstruction. When you have immunity, you cannot plead your 5th amendment right not to self incriminate. As that is already off the legal table, so to speak. So anything you say is free of any legal threat or harm. Unless you lie! This bunch of “covfefe,” lie about what they ate for breakfasts just out of sheer habit. Or if they refuse to testify; they can be jailed for that as well. This mess can only be fixed in a Republican political bloodbath at the Midterm Elections in 2018. Turn them all out and hire new people. Forced the GOP to look in the mirror and see just what they have done to themselves, their party and to their country. Let it be known far and wide. The Grand Old Party is simply the party of traitors and Russian defectors. And let its name be stricken from the record in shame. Let the next man who rises up with a banner and the name Republican, be shouted down as would be the Marxist-Leninist party candid at the Baptist Church Revival meeting.

There is a store, where the owner of the building wanted to tear it down and build a much bigger, grandeur and up to date place for business. It would be a grand building with all the latest technology and be the jewel of architectural engineering. There was a sole problem. The man who rented from him refused to move. He would be out of business, even if the landlord vowed to honour the man’s lease in his new building. It would take three years to rebuild. What would the small renter do for commerce in those years? He would go broke. His business would certainly find other people and other places to shop. He would have to restart all over and worse, have to rebuild all his business and clients from scratch. Now reasonable people could find some sort of compromise. If that did not work, then they could get lawyers and take the matter to court but that would cost and it would take a long time, perhaps even longer than the three years to build the new building. Or they could find a third way. Hired some punks to smash the window, toss in some gasoline and try to burn out the small business owner. While I suspect that the latter is not taught at the Molson School of Business, it did seem to do the trick. The small business owner shut his store and took the cash from the insurance. The Building owner, and now criminal, is free to build the very building he wants. Sadly, the police know who ordered this hit, and why. They have not been able to find out who did the actual nasty deed and flip them on the owner. How stupid do we have to be in order to add two plus two and comes to some other number aside from the expected result of “Go to jail and do not pass Go”.

Poet of Truth Volume 1: Speaking Verse in a World of Prose

Omar Khadr, that terrorist scum just got a 10.5 million dollar payout from the loony leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. OMG! What is this world coming to? How about that thing called fair, and just. My first reaction was scornful to see money, tax payer money, going to a terrorist. Or is it? We all know the facts about his life and how he killed American troops in Afghanistan. Right? How he was in Gitmo, Guantánamo Bay, Cuba for years then tried, convicted by pleading guilty to all charges and finally shipped to Canada. Right? But is that all? In fact, knowing any of this, is hardly knowing anything at all.
Khadr was a child soldier. Big deal, you might think, but it is a big deal. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 38, states: “State parties shall take all feasible measures to ensure that persons who have not attained the age of 15 years do not take a direct part in hostilities.”(link)
Khadr was captured at the age of 15, which means he had been a child solder in battle, used by father who was killed in the same firefight that Omar was captured in. If the father had been captured alive, the father would have been found guilty of a war crime of using his son to fight this battle, even if convicted of nothing else. Yet for all these indisputable facts, Omar was captured and sent to Gitmo as a prisoner of war, except they were not called that and given none of the protections normally offered to prisoners of war. There he was forced to endure ten years of torture by incompetent CIA agents, called Enhanced interrogation techniques, where the Washington Post on December 12, 2008, called these harsh interrogation policies that “disgraced the nation and undermined U.S. security.” (link) Where Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture concluded that torturing prisoners did not help acquire actionable intelligence or gain cooperation from detainees and that the program damaged the United States’ international standing. (link)  Khadr after ten years of pain, suffering and torture broke and confessed to anything they wanted him to say. Canada under Stephan Harper’s government sent in CSIS agents into Gitmo to “Help.” A mind shattered, a body broken beyond measure, he confessed to his crimes and was sentenced to more time in jail. What was his crime that he confessed to? In a firefight, in the war zone called Afghanistan; i.e. both sides would be trying to kill the other side, Omar allegedly tossed a grenade at an American soldier who was carrying a peace banner, planting hope and spreading universal love and friendship… No, the American soldier, who was armed and ready to kill him in the heat of battle would have been a legitimate target of war where solders kill one another without it being called a war crime. War means men and women die. But did Khadr even toss that grenade? Evidence is weak and in the heat of battle the eye witness report is questionable as the person only concluded it was he, Khadr who tossed the grenade. He did not witness it himself. So rather than being fact, it was assumed to be true, meaning the weakest of circumstantial evidence. (Link)   Yet, the pundits will screech, he confessed. Yes, he did after ten years of torture to get out of a living hell hole, he confessed. And the value of that confession is in the paper it is on, for use in bathroom breaks that he was not allowed the luxury to take while being so tortured. Finally transferred to Canada, where a more just outcome, based on the rule of law, not the jingoistic passion fueled by the right wing rhetoric of the USA, where they are on their third President and Gitmo is still a prison, he, Khadr was released from prison. He sued the Canadian government for 20 million dollars. Even to be released his case had to travel to the Supreme Court of Canada where the lower courts found Canada have violated international law, and the Supreme Court of Canada found the Harper Government have violated his Charter rights. (Link)  Just how many violations of international law, Charter Rights and common human decency must one man endure? How long must a man suffer incompetent interrogation and torture before we step back and say enough?  Clearly, the answer is still not to be found. The widow of the slain American soldier has a court judgement from Utah against Khadr for 134 million. She had taken legal steps to gain all or some of his money from the government. Clearly this story is not over. The matter is now before the courts and as such no further comment on this matter, until the legality of it all is resolved.
Justin Trudeau did not start this shameful embarrassing matter. He only put an end to it. And we should be grateful someone finally did so to put an end fo the shame of Canada’s behavior to a 15 year old boy.
