Conservatism - plague, disease and/or cancer?

Good day good people and to the rest of you as well. Today I want to expand upon a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Morality! Morality is the key component of psychological reflection. It is the ulimate reference point as to whether an action which was proscribed.was understaken with morality as it's key consideration. I make this statement because I live in Canada and my country is experiencing a moral dilemma due to the fact that we have allowed our democracy to be held hostage by a minority government that is controlled by the predominance of a conservative and/or right wing idealogical value system - irrespective of political banner. This is a fundamental problem on two levels. One is the use of the democracy by a very powerful mindset in using the force of military to effect an act of idealogical cleansing and the second level is that the military mechanism was triggered based on a threshold of politics and not morality.

You see it's vital to the continual communal or peaceful conscience of any democratic society that it's use of military be utilized only as a last measure and only when a clear and distinct threshold of moral incursion has been crossed. In this case, no such flag has been raised and hence we find ourselves in a moral crisis. One that could've easily been avoided had the political culture accurately reflected the true state of the canadian populus as opposed to corporate or conservative/idealogical mindsets to which they are oftern referred to rhetorically as "all canadians". The fact that one powerful portion of any country can be referred to as being representative of "all" people is a problem which is indicative of the evolution of democracy itself in combination with the extension and seamlessly merging of the conservative political and media cultures.

I'm extremely consistent with respect to the application of my philosophy in that I hold the truth to be self-evident that lines are what divide and shape sensibilities or points of view. For example, economics is not a moral institution and neither is politics or idealogy. Morality is an internalized, abstract reflection of the compass itself and as human beings we navigate the streams and oceans of human conscience based on our perception of morality. War is a state of mind without morality and is therefore not subject to it's reference. Victory is absolute and there is no place for common sense or reason. This is what the political and media machinery of the idealogical does. It forceably pushes agendas pass that triggering threshold so that the dialogue turns away from morality and instead focuses on the ends justifying the means.

Canadians (the populus) never wanted and still do not want our troops to be used as corporate or idealogical pawns but, instead for the legitimate "defense' of our nation agains identifiable threats that have the actual capacity with the aid of an actual military to strike at our country and have made such an outward declaration as to warrant the mobilization of our military force.

This manufactured war stems from idealogical insanity and is as such the promotion of the kind of rhetoric and fear mongering needed to extend it's relevance. The problem with the language and not the military (instrument of death and destrutction) needed to address this matter is that the correct language would call into question the kinds of minds pulling the strings behind the scenes and on the main stage who continuously con and hustle the public into supporting flawed policy which perpetrates immoral behavior which then further degeneraties society and life itself while setting the stage for the ongoing militarization of our world.

The mere fact that we even require debate should be a red flag to all canadians. If we can't rely upon at least an 80 percent consensus amoung all parlimentarians as opposed to using the weight of the parties with the most representation then we will never be ablle to claim that we did the right thing in this instance. Instead, we will have to live with the fact that our democracy does not justly reflect the true will of the canadian people.

Thank you, so much for taking the time to read this blog and may your conscience wax while your ignorance wanes.

FYI - Logic is not random...

Logic is structured and it accounts for every single word and action that is acutalized by any human being at any point in time. Ridicule, mockery and anything else other than a rational "argument" or fundamentally sound reason which is accepted as justification for action is inferior by nature.

Conservatism is primarily based on a monetary value system which is driven by a moral navigational system rooted in extreme idealogial adaptation and interpretation. It is harsh, severe and fundamentally irrational. Through their eyes they see unity or a communal conscience alright. The only problem is, that in terms of western politics, it is largely based on the fervent pusuit of greed with the deeply concealed core foundation of religious doctrine kept well outside the public discourse. They see the social conscience as something to be completely destroyed and replaced with discretionary charity. To that mindset, life is only for the those who can afford it and that includes and in fact, is specific to contributions of reasoning. To them only those who make enough are worthy of speaking their mind and are therefore permitted to participate in a democracy. They exhibit the exact same neurological output of the fascist mind precisely because of the way they see the world, the value of humanity and the lengths they are willing to go to obtain, maintain and sustain control.

I on the other see unity as welll, but it's based on a vastly different value system or order which requires the use of non-violence as a means of effecting positive change. I also see actions predicated upon moral consensus and the movement or motion of all military strutcture to be funneled through the united nations so that no nation can act unilaterally and thus drag the world down a narrow path driven by dark conscience towards a negative outcome.

The negative impact/displacement of far right religion or Methane Media...

It just keeps repeating itself while systematically poisoning the very communion of humanity. It is a disoriented, imbalancing voice of life and it is a contamination of conscience. It is completely lacking in credibility, rotten to the core and corrupt by nature. It's a Co2 emission resulting from the confluence of affluent, effluent shitheads with no God that any decent human being could intuitively recognize or gravitate towards. There is no redeeming quality whatsoever within the entire broadcast sprectrum of mass media today. Especially, the CBC (Canadas' tabloid toilet bowl - ironically, a "publically funded corporation"), CNN. BBC and just about any other call letters one might add. It's just a war of conscience waged against everyone who dares stand against it. It is vile, vulgar, repulsive and perverted. Pure vermin.

Today, for example I saw an item again ( just about the same time last year ) with respect to an american govenor (re - prostitution) and that raised a huge flag. I wondered if I was the only person to see this article as I am alone so that I can be singled out by my local cable provider et al ( relgious trash) or did the rest of the country/hemisphere see this repeated segment. There is no question that I have been zeroed in on by an unscrupulous culture. To be made an example of no doubt so that others attempting to stand up against moral perverts such as the religious right think twice before following their distorted and perjorative application of principles.

It would be great if I wasn't who I am in this particular time and that I didn't see through every layer of corruption presented to me. But, I do and it's incumbent upon me as a "true independent" to raise my voice against idealogical tyranny, irrespective of source or so-called faith. The voice of fatih is merely a carefully veiled substitute for fundamentally sound reason . In the west the term "faith" means judaeo-christian. It doesn't include islam, hinduism or buddhism because there isn't a realistic bridge which can be extended to those religions from the extremist positions taken by the so-called western people of faith. As far as the leftist politician pandering to the far right for potential voties, iit simply adds upt to an empty offering of meaningless language designed to give the impression of similar outlooks when in fact, it is the strength of the far rights' faith that is fueling much of the idealogical cleansing in the middle east today and shaping western, governmental policy.

Any way one cares to slice it, the conclusion is the same and that is relgion must be forced fed during the development of any child (much like stalinism) in order for it to take root and many people who have been infultrated with such teachings can spend a lifetime trying to unravel or disentangle the spritiual distortions that have been infused into their minds before having acquired the benefit of a reasonable intellectual facility with which to objectively evaluate the kind of information they're receiving in relation to the actual truth of our basic, shared and communal humanity.

Clearly time has convincingly demonstrated that the continued pursuit and spreading of belief systems that are based on an accumulation of non-factual events is totally counter-productive in bridging the conscience of a continually evolving egalitarian, secular world. Thus, there can only be a continued expectation of conflict because no extremist element(s) of any religion will retreat from their entrenched postions because it results in a loss of control. Control (oddly, control is what has been lost today due to extreme corporated greed) is what the instruments of politics and the arena of corporate economics effect. Invariably, mass media is the subsequent extension and messenger of this communal toxin. The only remediation to these dynamics is to present a viable alternative which can stand on it's own as a valid explanation, not only for a single reality but, for the bridging of our common characteristics as opposed to our religious/systemic differences. While each religion talks about accepting other cultures and customs, it is not until issues become points of control that the flaw in the application of religious text is revealed. Only fundamentally sound and contstructive reasoning can lead to a bridging of all peoples leading to a value system which reflects the natural and intended equality of each and every human being. This is the only true path to a stable global village in which all participants accept equal responsibility in it's shaping and development.

Until then however, we all must endure the age of corruption - plain and simple.

The Search for the TRUTH

Good day/night good people and avid pursuers of unique and original information. Today, not unlike any other day, I have another topic that extends from my own personal aspiration in life and one that is indeed, near and dear to my mangled little heart. It is called the "Search for Truth".

Today, however, the relevance of this topic seems to resonate with far greater than usual reverberations due to the ongoing elections here in the west and the way in which democracy has largely become contaminated and distorted. Let me first state that while my political optics are consistent, I am not expressing myself today in an attempt to sway the voting public either here in canada or south of the border. What I am attempting to delineate today is the point which western democracy has become imbalanced. Yes, have no illusions, western democracies and not fully grown, truthful and transparent institutions. Instead, they are distorted through the eyes of a media culture that is disproportionately represented by privately owned and publicly funded "corporations" and these corporations filter all but a very miniscule, almost indetectable amount of information through the lens and sensibilites of the far right, ala conservatism/republican/sorcial-conservative.

Therefore, it begs the quesstion. How does one determine the difference between the conservative seduction and distortion of public sensibilities and the facts, fact from fiction, truth from reality? Well, it certainly isn't easy especially, when you're an individual who hopes and prays for the extinction of outdated modes of boadcasting such as corporately owned and dominated iinstitutions like television, radio and print. Replaced with a pronounced shift in the dissemination of information itself and it's subsequent accountability. It's comparativley easy for this sleazy culture to zero (neurochemical, godless binary zeros of evolution) in on someone like myself and others to otherwise unethically (the defining characteristic of the vast majority of the broadcasting culture) "imbalance" ones ability to seek out and sift through, what amounts to, an entangled jumble of mostly useless information.

One cannot rely on the regulatory bodies or the politicians because they are ideallogically (plays a huge role on the convergence of conscience in political corridors) on the same page and the search becomes compounded when it comes to allowing the general public the ability to seek out the truth as opposed to having it spoon fed, much like a child. Hence the parallel drawn between the infancy of western democracy and it's transition to full maturity which will only result when people are permitted to seek out the facts as they pertain to their politicians and assemble their own nutritous serving of information compared with the fast food contamination of TV, radio and print.. Virtually all owned and run by corporate con-artists. Albeit, slick and slimely and seemingly apetizing.

Once the full shift to a digital environment becomes complete then ALL content will become a "file" and ALL content will have time/date stamps and people will be able to intelligently match up their/our search critieria with the relevant politicians platform or policy. When you have a perfect match you know that you getting the information that you seek instead of the spin and filter of "political presentation" which has nothing to do with the substance of anyone's character. This is why democraciess in the west generate such low quality politicians. It's because "mass media" (largerly controlled and influenced by the religious and corporate right" pander to the most superficial of political attributes and to the lowes level of educated individuals.

In a world of modern communication where transparency becomes the model for the pursuit of the information all one needs to do is collect and match criteria which stems from originator of political position, platform and policy much the same a person would match the requirements of search for any productt or service resulting in the ability to demand a refund or subsequently "accountability" in terms of the promises made by their politicians. Thus, adhering to the principles of a free-market economy.

So, how do I personally determine what is "news worthy" or relevant? It's elementary. Control +Relevance = Response. In other words, how much control do I have over what I'm hearing in combination with how much actual impact or the relevance the information has on me personally determines directly the amount of concern or response I have in relation to ANY topic, item or event.. Consequently, everything I consume in terms of the world of fast-food, mass media is prefaced by the phrase "If this is happened or has actually occured" then this is my response.

Unify the portal, insist on information accountability/ownership and make the actual people responsible for implementing policy accept the consequences. Remove mass media from democratic distortion and imbalance and demand an information/content dissemination infrastructure that empowers the voter and consumer instead of the two-bit con-artists that ooze their toxic waste into our daily lives.

Thank you, so much for taking the time to read this perspective and may your conscience wax while your ignorance wanes.

Sincerely,

And Justice For ALL!!!

Pursuant to my previous submission, I received proof of evidence that my words are indeeds immediately lapped up by the hounds of society. Before I get to that however I would like to preface this blog with what I hope is a little insight into human behvavior. You know, some people wrap themselves in a flag (and dare call it good just by the sheer virute of it's creation - would anyone call the swastika moral?), others in a bible (and make outrageous claims that it's God) and some under the confines of a corporate policy because of the goods or services it produces. But, me! I wrap myself completely in logic, not just any old random form of logic but moral logic. You see I have this crazy notion that there is indeed a God, a just God. One who created a world based upon a foundation of logic. The kind of logic that would take millions of years to develop and understand in it's entirety and one that is principally oriented. Are human beings inherently moral? No. Are they inherently good? No. Are they inherently ethical? No. Where are created neutral or we are created in the balance. Neither good nor bad, moral or immoral, ethical or unethical. The determining factor in the outcome of all human beings is Love. It's like passion in that some of us have it in abundance and it connects us to the source of all variations of creativity and others yet, are devoid of it or exhibit the astrophysical phenomenon we refer to as a black hole, if you will. I hold this to be self-evident from my one personal expericence. I know that is if a person is loved from the time they are born that their instincts will develop in alignment with the primcipled orientation of the planet itself and they will evolve along a plane of goodness and truth subsequently will produce a quality of character that will intuitively display ethical behavior and they will demonstrate true moral fiber.

Now, what has this got to do with my previous submission? Well, boys and girls I first thought about how could my notebook computer be so precisely "hit" and disabled and then I thought about living in a place where I was under constant audio and video surveillance. Then I thought about the phone calls to banks, to communications corporations etc, etc and then I though about the surreptitious accumulation of that information for sinister purposes. You see, when one is dealing with people who see the world and the "life experience" on a vastly different context then tend to have a value system that is completely out whack and therefore the law can extend and insulate them from accountability. So, I thought about things like give the MAC address to the notebook over the phone to Telus and wondered why they would even ask for such information to troubleshoot a problem that they acknowledged originated on their end with respec to the unethical disruption of my service. So, yesterday I bring my servers back to my business address while undoubtedly being carefully observed and after yesterdays submission (2:00am in the morning, no less) I went out to check out some drum sticks for about a half an hour. I come back and the door to my practice area and servers is locked. Gee, wonder how that could've happened when I didn't do it? So, I gained entrance, retreived my things and came back home.

When I got home I started to think about what is justice. I mean, when I first moved into this place I asked Jeff if he had a key to the room to which he lied and just recently I ask Sandy and Scott if they were aware of a key to which they shook their heads and said no (if they don't actually have a key then someone went down and physically locked the door from the knob on the inside - either way some very undesirable behavior by some supposedly good citizens). So, what recourse do people have against others who shield themselves from truth with lies? Subsequently, what the hell is the purpose of justice? It's not just to protect property and person but, one of it's fundamental axioms is to the protect the weak, the vulnerable and must susceptible to unscrupulous behavior. However, justice has, like many of the instittutions of human development has been twisted and distorted into so many mangled forms that it's become an instrument of the corrupt or those with enough money and power to superimpose a might-makes-right philosophy over the rest of us and call that justice.

The creation of justice in what we call modern times simply stems from the creation of the state and the need to protect the state irrespective of whether it's good or bad. One could therefore argue that there is soviet justice, chinese justice, american justtice, canadian etc, etc but, in actual fact there really is one form of justice. The kind that protects human rights irrespective of the state in question and justice is no less susceptible to evolution than any other idea. If it's an idea it evolves or it remains in an unchanged state from it's inception. This is why the world is going through such upheaval and is under the forces of volatility which are ultimately felt in the market place. People are finally seeing, albeit and not uncoincidentally, as a result of negativity, that there is only one true line, one crystal line, one sea (C) level and that's the only level plane upon which human turmoil, instability and volatility ceases and calm is restored to the global village and of course, to the market place.

My purpose this day is not to humble some fairly decent people or to project myself as someone above any portion of humanity. It is merely to demonstrate that we create the kinds of community and society that we all have to traverse and live in and if it isn't based on an absolute reference point of true morality then we should not be surprised at the kind of aftermath that results when "special interests" (IE: power mongers) sabotage all layers of society. Money can only address the symptoms of market volatility. It's the kind of mentality that contributes to the root of the problem and it will invariably turn around to produce the same fall out at a not too distant point in the future.

Thank you, for taking the time, of which many of you clearly do, to read this text and may your conscience wax while your ignorance wanes.

Update 11-05-08

I am getting it full bore now. Over the months too much has been moved around or placed in areas other than where I originally placed them in an attempt to infuriate me and the less I respond the more liberties they take with my privacy. The same was occuring in Saanich under the watchful, prinicipled eye of Ms. Sandi Findlay. My website was also deleted from my desktop in perfect timing with the cease and desist order of my drumming courtesy of the dickhead bylaw officer Perry Carrigan in the fair and just municipality of Saanich, British Columbia. God, what filth this area is exposing to me. I also know there are concealed forces acting against me, conspiring and obsessing, if you will, with impunity. What a godless community here in Colwood, Saanich etc. Hell, who's kidding who? Because of my stand in life and the persepctive that I espouse I am vulnerable to every piece of low-life imaginable. They'll do anything to prevent me from living the way I see fit. They are obsessed with uniform compliance to outdated modes of thinking and they will do anything to have my life destroyed so that I can't exercise my free speech. It doesn't matter how rational it is or how civil I am. These people don't give a shit about anyone's right to live other than in accordance with their sensibilities.

Here's the language of the By-Law. Just read this and see if I am "out of line" or order in this blatant, prejudicial application of such distorted anal drip. This is what happens when pondscum recieve an overrated education and then unethically apply it frem either being bought or sold or by virtue of policital or ideallogical contamination.

Noise Suppression (aka Liberty Suppression) Bylaw No. 7059

3. Private Property

No person, being the owner or occupier or being in possession or control of real property (my insertion/comment here - real property being the line which divides the value of human beings according them special rights under the law as they pertain to civil liberties) shall suffer or permit to make or cause to be made any noise or sound therein which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighborhood or of persons (these people may not in fact be "real" property owners, they just need to be in the vicinity) in the vicinity thereof.

Now if that isn't language befitting a community ( I use the term loosely in this case) which is indicative of a confluence of affluent effluent then I must be blind and stupid.

The room is sound proofed to the point that the decibals are almost inaudible. I play around noon each day and there is no time stipulation in the by-law. It is open-ended legal discrimination based on wealth. This vermin is an affront to canadian society and it doesn't care who it railroads or runs roughshod over in order to effect it's bias. It's a culture of petty, small minded slime who have nothing better to do than to fill someones private residence with cameras and microphones. In my case, I have a couple of servers in what was once a protected case. That case was physically violated shortly after moving in as was my living space. That incident simply went unaddressed. The complaints with respect to the noise by-law are fabricated but I must accept a ticket in order to confront my accusers whereas the real motivation was the desire to have the windows permanently boarded up so that they could compromise my servers away from potential prying eyes should I endeaver to initiate my mobile computer business. This is why Scott Murray inisisted that there be a lock put on the door to my practice area/business. He claimed that he would need one in case of fire - blech. In other words anyone running a small business on rented property doesn't have the right to the integrity of that business and furthermore does Mr. Murray expect any reasonable person to think that the fire department should have the key to "any" small business so that they don't have to break in the door? Pure rubbish from the minds of pure garbage.

You want to hear NOISE??? Here's the subjective use of noise without by-laws replaced instead by politic smut, relgious smut, corporate bullying etc... Courtesy of a principled group, no doubt. This is however, in the municipality of Colwood and occured a while back. This is precisely why noise by-laws are a perjorative use of the term. This is one seriously screwed up city with an equally twisted sense of values and decency. Please note that this is a very large file. I will reduce it's size shortly. I just needed to demonstrate the point that what's happening to me has nothing to do with playing the drums and everything to do tired old dried up prunes with too much time on their hands and exceptionally boring, godless lives.

I think anyone of reasoned thinking gets the picture. These are people in the neighborhood etc, who simply have it in for me. I wouldn't mind but, I've been playing at this place for over a year and a half now. The answer is not simply going somewhere. It really is a point of priniciple and it's pointless shifting from one place to the next unless my civil liberties are protected instead of being arbritrarily violated by municipal pondscum who come and go with the political wind. Canada is supposed to protect the rights of the individual within reason and mine are definitely being violated beyonnd that point.

I think it's fair to say that this kind of issue is what civil liberties and just laws are all about in a so-called fair and just society. People such as myself shouldn't have to fend of the scum of the earth just because they don't like your "lifestyle". Retire in Victoria if you wish and come to the olympics if you should so decided but I personally find it hard to accept the notion that any society can "bully" people around with such casual cruelty and with such a wanton disregard for anyones dignity and then claim to be a place of peace, harmony and balance.

Thank you, for allowing me to vent my frustrations and I am truly sorry that such low life have insisted on drawing my ire in such a manner. May your conscience wax while your ignorance and that of those around you dry up and blow away.

Installment 03-29-09 (04-30-09)

Tampering is occuring here - my last editss regairding the bloated pondscum known as Klassen were removed and it wasn't by me.

At any rate- with all due respect to the "good" people of Colwood and for that matter the western communities. There clearly is a serious problem with the consistent application of ethical behavior. There's simply tooooo much dick, ya know, monkey shit?  People who have donned the moniker of the "good guys" but, I can testify that just about anything in uniform or working for the government is a total fucking idiot. A bottom feeder, political pawn and an excellent candidate for religious infection. What a toilet bowl. This municipality is like a gigantic politically form of enclosure where all the monkey with their trap and back doors to both computer systems and residence can wreak havoc at will on any unsuspecting person who they deem warrants their prejudice.

That's why I must emphasize that I am the originator of the phrase "Crystallize/Crystaleyes your digital environment". It's because I know that I am in the center of a wretched hive of scum and villainy. I'm sure they're are contriving and conspiring to orchestrate my personal destruction with the hopes of procuring the domain Crystaleyes.com. It holds limitless value. What can one expect from a community who has based it's foundation of growth on a casino? It's not that I have anything whatsoever against small time gambling but, when you bring in casinos you are attracting the absolute lowest form of conscience imaginable.

Which brings me to the corporation. Aside from governments, which everyone knows is corrupt, the corporation, due to it's unchecked expansion in combination with the weakening of the powers of central government, has assume many of the more impacting governmental functions. I'm only stating the obvious here and I will do so for the record. "We" does not represent an individual and cannot legimately presented as such in any respectable court of law. "I" am an individual and "W" represents a group. Any elementary student can grasp the distinction. Furtermore, the worst thing that can happen in any industry is the concentration of control in the hands of one or a few corporations. The corporation is a virus that eats away at the free enterprise system until there is no competition left and it eventually becomes the dominant instrument of shaping the structure of society.. The problem is that if those corporations fail then the entire industry is at risk. As well, given the nature of globalization, market share then becomes the motive for global conflict, equalling or worse, replacing religion as the primary means of justification. That is precisely why the size and scope of the corporation should be capped so as to spread the risk factor across a wide spectrum of participants. This keeps control in the hands of the central government and enusre that the will of the people and not the corporation, is reflected in governmental policy.

Just to follow-up with repect to my plans. I'll be heading east soon to get away from this low-life once and for all because I really do need to find somewhere where there isn't this dense concentration of small-minded, obsessive compulsive twerps. Monkey shit sanctioned by the municipality who can hack my systems at will. In keeping with my philosophy, it's about communal conscience and this place is very unlikely to find anything resembling that unless they continue to harrass and brainwash the rest of the islands inhabitants to the same level of enchanted delusion and distorted value system. The other thing is that I have clearly have become a target for their malcontent. Phones tapped( Telus -classic pondscum), financial information common knowledge spread among the believers, unlawful entry into the house when I'm not here. computers constantly under attact (knowledge of which procured spread by obsessive compulsive monkey shit). Clearly, this iteration of the klan needs a whipping boy in order to compensate for their "limp" shortcomings in finding their own identity outside of uniform compliance.

In closing, the OPP (aka: canada's version of the gestapo) is no doubt planning ahead to meet me in ontario to claim that I have this unpaid ticket with which they can stalk me ala in their typical stalinist manner, much the same way they stalked me on the way up to give me the ticket in the first place. As I stated earlier, I sent the payment in with "payment for corruption" written on the cheque so, they were reluctant to cash it less they be immortalized in the machine. It's amazing how warps in society do everything to avoid being identified as such and then use the same warp in the media to cover their dysfunction. It's also astonishing to me how prevailing sentiments regarding police behavior are consistently contrived to be concealed from the public. The far right corporate media is undoubtedly a mirror to it's totalitarian communist counterpart. Neither is any better than the other.

Lastly, the greatest failings of this society exist in uniform. Uniforms are for monkeys - total fucking idiots. The far right rhetorically attacks collectivism and yet, the uniform is the most prominent symbol of it's hypocracy.

Thank you, for taking the time to read this and may your conscience wax while your the infection of the right and it's corresponding ignorance wanes.

"The sound of perpetual flatulance" The name of Neil Klassen here on the island is pure fucking dirt for eternity. The lowest representation of human life imaginable and this guy is so comfortable with that classification that this is like water off a ducks back. Boiled dog. Imagine renting a residence from him and his son Glen whereby these people tampering with my living environment such as light settings and food in the refrigerator so as to unnerve me. The wonderful spirit of Klassen. A big black hole of hate. I am this day being socially engineered out of this godless place and I want to state unequivocally that I have caused NO damage whatsoever to these premises. I make this statement because the place had the appearance of a war zone when I moved in so any attempt to link it's condition with any reference to me is pure conjecture.

Letter to the CRTC regarding HD converter boxes 04-29-09

Let me preface this letter by stating upon submission I received no confirmation of acceptance and therefore must assume a malfunctioning bureaucracy.

Hello,

First of all, let me state unequivocally that I am not one who particularly enjoys complaining about broadcasting or provision-related issues unless they touch upon a point of principle. This issue does.

Providers, as we have come to know them, do not generate high definition content of their own. Instead, most of it is produced and made available in the "public domain" and should therefore, by scrupulous politicians and regulatory bodies, be made available, easily accessed and relayed from many points of source. In actual fact the cable/satellite is merely an extension of the highway system in the form of communications and should not in any way, shape or form be filtered and micromanaged by what is clearly a visibly right wing contingent who have a stranglehold over who participates, what people see, when we see it and the way in which it's presented. Forcing the public to fund layers of providers and broadcasters who, from my perspective, add little or no value whatsoever to the source content. While some of these providers do actually produce the content, because it is zoned in the public they have a responsibility to provide public access without a broadcast layer. By sheer virtue of the zoning designation they don't own the content. The source entity does. Public domain content should be streamed untreated to the general public. The quality of video and audio today can clearly give the end consumer an experience every bit as good as actually being at the event without forcing us to fund advertisers and broadcasters. The providers themselves are merely relaying signal (the same way the internet does for private domains) all of which is produced and originating from public domain. For example the olympics do not belong to the broadcaster. They belong to world and consequently should be made available through "public access" without "any" broadcasting layer. Sporting events and movies (The life blood of the broadcaster/providers) speak for themselves and need no spin or interpretation. If people want that layer then by all means let the free market system extend that service and the accompanying fees.

Consequently, this issue has to do with cable/satellite content providers as it pertains to the dissemination of high definition (HD) content. Specifically it is dealing with the forced purchases of proprietary converter boxes so as to obtain access to high definition content.

Given the continued evolution of the computer and communications technology in general, it is completely inappropriate and an unethical business practice to force people to purchase proprietary technology when the computer can easily serve as a converter box in conjunction with a regular digital subscription.

I find the behavior of these providers most worrisome because in effect, they are denying the general public the right to independently gain access to content that is neither produced or generated by them and yet, is created in the public domain and therefore should be "zoned" as such so as to prevent the forced subsidization of elite access.

To the reasoned mind, information/content should be "event-driven and source-oriented" and accessed through a publicly available portal once that content is "zoned" as being created in the public domain for public consumption with only an access fee being directed towards these providers in addition to a subscription fee to the source of the content (IE: MLB, NHL et al). If, in the free market system people wish to add a broadcaster then by all means, pay them a fee and adjusted the shaping of your media experience accordingly. Otherwise, it must be assumed by reasonable people that in terms of content and information in the modern age of communications that elite access, information imbalance and media corruption shall be the norm for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, for allowing me to vent my frustration regarding this issue and for taking the time to read this and may your conscience wax while your the infection of the right and it's corresponding ignorance wanes..

Today's topic is pertaining to the media, streamiing content and information integrity. I recently addressed contentt on a philosophical basis but now I wish to focus on it terms of actual content and substance. I just can't help but feel that so much of what we consume today is still "passive" in that we listen to people and absorb content which we may or may not wish in our lives simply based on the money they have, the fact that they are then subsequently packaged in with our cable or sattleitte subscriptions which are then combined with the rights to content they then purchase as a means to perpetuate their presence and not necessarily because of the relevance they produce. Now, on the surface this may seem perfectly fine if you're not part of the evolution of the digital age of information and content and instead you're old school when it comes to just turning on your TV and jerking on the remote control. However, if you are like myself, fully capable of producing high quality content, relevant technical insights and have a thorough understanding of the science which underlies the development of modern computing communications then you instinctively have the desire to create and or search for a more complete model based on relevance as opposed to sensationalism. Preferrably, IP (Internet Protocol or addresses much like the address of any given stadium or venue) based, Event driven media. Televeision is a constant uninterruptible stream driven by senstaionalism and the cult-of-personality.. Constantly pandering to the lowest common denominator while trying it's best to keep the stream it at it's lowest level of awareness. Hence the term "bottom feeders". Much like tap water. Once a station has rights to actual content then their adverstisers flood in with their idealogical or politically suggestive sensibilities combining to create a cesspool of communications which produces no inherent value to the end consumer or viewer.

Case in point is the recent scandal surrounding a certain university football coach who was revealed to have somewhat less-than-desirable views regarding blacks that came out off the cuff supposedly under the guise of "off the record". A term which is misleading at best because it implies that there is a time and place where people who produce relevance in terms of athletic or entertainment substance can speak their mind or behave without it being recorded.. But, in this day and age of the highly competitvie, predatorial bottom-feeder media market (aka the tabloid toilet bowl) there is no such dynamic. People in media are usually wannabe athletes, musicians or entertainers. The term "off the record' is meaningless whose actual interpretation is more like "let me gain your trust and when you produce something that is sensationol then it's all business" and friendship goes out the window while viewership increases along with advertising and profits. If I were in the public eye of the television medium which would be impossible since I hold such disdain for it, I would never befriend anyone in the media unless it were to use them for personal gain (unwise decision) and since I don't need the mainstream media to promote my excellence and/or talent I prefer to befriend people who share the same quality of character as a human being. Something the media is renowned for lacking.

With respect to streaming content, I feel that the televions business model is presently an outdated mode of content dissemination which is propped up by powerful corporate interests. Such is the case here in Canada with the CBC or what I  sarcastically refer to as the Conservative Broadcasting Corporation (special emphasis on corporation).. The better approach in a healthy democracy would be to place the burdern on any broadcaster (not 24/7 because there simply isn't enough news produced in a 24 hour cycle that warrants that much attention) to produce actual information relevance which isn't sensationalized or leaning towards a particular idealogical or political sensibility while providing the communities which house the actual venuse, in terms of content and Events, with the profits they rightfully deserve for providing the infrastructure for specific athletic competition and entertainment presentations.

Further to the streaming of content is the persistent evolution of technolgoy itself which gives rise to a huge overlapping and duplication in wired communications infrastrutre while the wireless domain is increasingly encroaching upon this one time thought-to-be untouchable medium. It seems to my mind that eventually consumers and businesses alike will likely seek and demand a solution or alternative which attemtps to unify the underlying technology so that what they have is based upon a singular portal, display and messaging/communications device as opposed to a combinaiton of TV, plus varying internet connectivity, plus a cornucopia of messaging devices. Simplification is the key to quality communications in the age of information This takes us away from people who are simply likeable or affable in the broader sense of the word while having no actual connection to them as it relates to information and or content.

To my mind, one either has the ability to produce relevence or substance in the age of information or they don't and the fields in which relevant material resonates the most are art, science, athletics and spiritiuality. How many personalities do we as consumers witness today, reverberate with those essentail qualities? As far as "news" goes well that really comes down to what actually affects your day to day living and the ramifications which it produces minus the hype and sensaltionism.

Thank you, so much for taking the time to read today's insight. I hope you found it somewhat thought provoking and may your conscience wax while your ignorance wanes.

Sincerely,

Update 04-30-09

Let's get one thing straight and crystal clear in this go round. The americans are not moral ok? So, let's dispense with the rhetoric, the media propaganda, speeches from apprentices and slick computer graphics. In the big picture sense of the word they don't know the first thing about morality or ethics and most people would never stand up against them because they're the slime of humanity the neo-con fascist of the 21st century. In fact, the opposite is true. People will go to any lengths to be in their grace. No, instead these people have created a social dynamic internationally and geo-politically where everyone is afraid to open their mouth.

I mean, look at what they've done to the world! If any other country engaged in the activity in which these people have their would be a media barrage 24/7 attacking such policy but, it isn't odd that their is next to no criticism of the american foreign policy. Clearly, people are terrified of retribution so it's the omission of criticism that rings a deafening bell.

Believe me, when people demonstrate good morality I stand up equally in terms of vocal acknowledgement but, this scum is pure ego and arrogance and is bereft of God and conscience on any noticeable plane. Consequently, they are completely devoid of wisdom and vision. You reap what you sow.

Thank you, for taking the time to read this and may your conscience wax while your the infection of the right and it's corresponding ignorance wanes.

07-31-09 Conrtrol - Whose life is it anyway?

Hello "good people" of Victoria, in this country and elsewhere. I would like to take this time to expand on a topic that has become somewhat intriguing to me over the course of my life and that is control. Some examples of control would be self-control, crowd control, birth control, traffic control, access control etc, etc. Consequently, upon reflection I came to realize that control is central to conflict and independence and not just in the big picture but, the little picture as well. Control is also a cornerstone of life itself. IE: Power, control and money are central in the big picture. They are the foundation of what drives the world in terms of subconscious and conscious pursuits. So I feel it is imperative to give my side of the story as it pertains to how control affects our lives individually and in the big picture sense of the word.

The sad fact is that without big picture control it's very difficult to have individual control. Case in point is religious controls. I think anybody who is affected by religious controls and the subsequent political and economic controls which flow or stem from religions can easily relate. I recently became aware of a seemingly insignificant anecdote of an arab girl who wanted to enter an israeli pageant and was not permitted because she would have had to wear a bathing suit and this would've violated her religious doctrine and would've resulted in tremendously upsetting her family and community. Now, I would never venture to debate the merits of any religion other than the one I have become most accustomed to because the point of this post is "control" and not the specifics of any one religion perse. Here in the west we think such things are trvial but, over there in that part of the world these issues are hightly contentious and divisive.

One might as, "What does a religious anecdote have to do with big picture control"? Well, by itself it's meaningless but, when enlarged or magnified and placed in a different context I think the relevance becomes clear.

This is done so by examining the next phrase which places this highly chareged point of contention in focus. The phrase is secular and it is as innocent, natural and human as it is to wish participating in something as innocuos as a beauty pageant. That phrase is "Thank you God, whose name I do not know for my life". If I said that in a crowd of religious devotees or worse yet, fanaticals of any religion, they would leap to challenge and offer to inform me or whomever else for matter, that they indeed know the name of God. Whereby, I would demand proof and thus, undoubtedly be accused of blasphemy..

Of course, no one could produce proof on what I refer to as "God action or power" resulting in the movement of matter which no human being could possibly effect. There would however, be a range of responses to the position I have taken. All would be incapable of altering the truth which is humans are humans and God is God. There is a crystal clear line between what people have done, do and will ever accomplish in comparison to the force of creation and I would therefore be entirely justified in expressing myself in a perfectly natural manner.

I declare my subservience to God. I acknowledge the existence of God and I praise God but, I will not allow the contrivance of "any" relgion to prevent me from being a natural human being or force me to believe in a "Man God" or any other variation and subsequently adopt their practices. People are people, not gods and throughout history mankind has attempted to manufacture events with everything from stonehenge to waking on water to burning bushes in an effort to control people and when people rejected these contrivances they have always been assaulted and harmed in a variety of ways in order to elicit allegiance and obedience to any kind of crap from queen to emperor and everything in between.

The plain truth of life is obvious. Pure knowledgel generates an internal conflict with religious indoctrination and it necessitates the body, via the mind purging a splinter which goes against the grain of the vine of life or the spine of life if you wish. This is why so much damage has been done in the name of religion resulting in the spectrum of conflicts which arise from it's teaching especially, when it is fanatically practiced and spread.

This is why in reality there is little weight given to the phrase "take control over your life" as it is meaninglessly bandied about in social and spiritual context because just by simply being one's self and claiming your own identity any person will eventually have to confront the forces in life who would like to relieve you of everything from controlling yourself to your career.. These powerful forces need control in order to facilitate the survival of varuious types of "authority". They can be governmental, religuous and/or corporate and they can act with impunity.

I am not for one second suggesting there should be no controls but, what I am saying is that controls are supposed to be rational, humane and comply with common sense. Controls should never violate an individuals right to the freedom of expreesion providing that expression is kept within a framework of sensitivity, respect and reason..

Thank you, so much for taking the time to read this and may your conscience wax while your ignorance wanes.
