STILL LOOKING...

Years ago, when I was still naive and thought cops were mostly honest, politicians really tried to make a difference for the better, and people actually cared about each other, I thought I could solve all the problems in Canada, and of the world, if I could only find...

1. ONE Honest Cop.
2. ONE Honest Lawyer.
3. ONE Honest Judge.

As I said, that was years ago, and sadly I must report I've yet to find any of the above and I'm no longer that naive...but seriously, not even ONE of them.
Now you must understand I'm looking for the REAL honest guys, not just the ones that say they are. If you're a cop and even though you haven't personally robbed nor assaulted the poor, but you've turned your back while your partner has...You are 'NOT HONEST'.The Racist Snobs of Victoria, B.C. look down their noses at the poor and must ENJOY them being assaulted, harassed, violated on a daily basis and would like to have it increased, cause they keep asking for MORE POLICE...to control the nasty natives/poor like the ones in the above picture who dared to sit on the bus benches that are silently reserved for the rich white folks...(unless I'm blind & stupid and you can tell me what crime is being commited to draw the attention of these bike cops...aside from being native and sitting on a bench, they weren't arrested...just "run off").

The guy on the computer here in the background is one of the former night staff, that again assaulted me and was not only NOT kicked out for it, he's already been on the computer for over an hour, even though we are supposed to observe a half-hour time limit, and was STILL there when I left, despite me pointing this out to the OTHER offenders...ahem, I mean...staff at the desk.
Reverend Al has moved his office and left me waiting for a meeting that I requested over three weeks ago. (ever since I caught the ENTIRE night staff smoking pot out back).

Today I was kicked out at 'Cool Aid' because somebody had assaulted somebody else BEFORE I even got there, but the lady in charge is incompetent and decided she needs to close the place to EVERYBODY in order to maintain order.
Since I complained to her about her incompetence, she decided to BAN me for two weeks.
Our people have nobody to complain to...if they do, they are attacked and punished just like this. These were the types of things I thought desperately NEEDED to be fixed in our society as they are at the ROOT of all our problems.
These were the types of things that sent me looking for an honest cop, lawyer, and judge in the first place...before I realized just HOW naive I was, and how LITTLE people really cared.

I probably would have been wiser searching for a virgin and three wise men in a whore house.
Definately would have been a quicker and easier search.
But I'm STILL LOOKING...just in case.

That's been a small part of my day...how's yours?

Poetic Irony

'The Cold Within'

Six humans trapped by happenstance
In dark and bitter cold
Each possessed a stick of wood--
Or so the story's told.

Their dying fire in need of logs,
But the first one held hers back,
For, of the faces around the fire,
She noticed one was black.

The next one looked cross the way
Saw one not of his church,
And could not bring himself to give
The fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes
He gave his coat a hitch,
Why should his log be put to use
To warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought
Of wealth he had in store,
And keeping all that he had earned
From the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge
As the fire passed from his sight,
For he saw in his stick of wood
A chance to spite the white.

And the last man of this forlorn group
Did nought except for gain,
Giving just to those who gave
Was how he played the game,

Their sticks held tight in death's stilled hands
Was proof enough of sin;
They did not die from cold without--
They died from cold within.

-- James Patrick Kinney

Canada is #1

Israel, Iran top 'negative list' By Nick Childs BBC world affairs correspondent A majority of people believe that Israel and Iran have a mainly negative influence in the world, a poll for the BBC World Service suggests. It shows that the two countries are closely followed by the United States and North Korea. The poll asked 28,000 people in 27 countries to rate a dozen countries plus the EU in terms of whether they have a positive or negative influence. Canada, Japan and the EU are viewed most positively in the survey. 'Traditional divides' In January, the BBC World Service revealed polling results that suggested most people think the US has a mainly negative influence in the world - and that the numbers had increased significantly in the last couple of years.
This latest GlobeScan survey, mostly of the same people, confirms those findings. But it also suggests that two countries are viewed even more negatively - first Israel, and then Iran. North Korea is just behind the US. Israel, of course, has long provoked sharp international reactions, and last year was involved in a controversial war in Lebanon. Iran and North Korea have both been at the centre of international disputes over their nuclear programmes. Canada, Japan, and the EU are viewed most positively, perhaps because they have all taken less high-profile roles in the world's recent confrontations. India is one country in the survey that seems to have improved its standing in the last year.
In general, opinion seems to divide along the traditional fault lines of international politics. Israel is viewed most negatively in the Muslim countries of the Middle East, although also in Europe. Iran is viewed most positively in the Muslim world. Japan is generally viewed positively, except in China and South Korea. The EU similarly gets good marks, except most notably in Turkey, and also in parts of the Middle East.

But as they say in the advertising game;

"IMAGE IS NOTHING...THIRST IS EVERYTHING."

I wonder how many people taking this poll know about the NATIVE GENOCIDE that in still ongoing with contaminated water supplies, oppression, torture, etc.

I wonder how many people taking this poll are even aware of the HOURLY violations to their basic human rights the poor & homeless suffer at the hands of police & officials.

I wonder how many people reading this post care...enough to Stand with us, and change it.

I wonder...

Social Justice

"It is JUSTICE, not CHARITY, that is wanting in the world."
-Mary Wollstonecraft (1792)

...and it seems we are STILL left wanting for it.

Below is a collection of images, (not very well taken by me), that I hope helps show a bit of the bigger picture so that people can see where the REAL problems within our world are.

This is what they say...but do they REALLY mean it?

Was it a brawl that EVERYONE deserves to be punished and not JUST the ones fighting? This is NOT the type of justice GOD describes. This is NOT the justice JESUS spoke of...so where does it come from, this BLANKET JUSTICE, and why is it allowed to exist?
Two shelters closing at a time when there is already insufficiant care and space available for those in NEED at a time of year when it is MOST needed.
I wonder if it's been mentioned in ANY of these reports that one of the rules here is "NO PRINTING". No resumes, no music, no nothing...There's also NO PHONES, not even to call the POLICE, but thanks for the help, so glad you are here to give us a hand up, and you're not just really standing on our heads holding us down.
CBC was there, and boy, the fixins they put out that day, veggie platter and everything...well, not milk or juice, but some stuff that actually has some nutritional value higher than moldy bread & coffee. I'm sure you got the FULL scoop from them, cause they are our NATIONAL MEDIA and must be interested in 'reporting the TRUTH' and not just 'making the NEWS' like the local stations do.
Aren't they???
If not, Homeless Nation has had some film crew around for awhile and I've shared some stuff with them as well...I'm sure they are more interested in getting the TRUTH out than just presenting a nice package for more funding. Right???

but now it's time for...
SPRING CLEANUP
(most think this means time to fix things up, clean things, put your house in order and prepare for the summer).

POLICE participate in a SPRING CLEANUP as well.

But it doesn't involve cleaning up dangerous rigs like this or broken bottles that have melted through the snow in a REAL effort to make the streets safe for our kids...
No...for the poor & the homeless, SPRING CLEANUP has a different meaning altogether...this is time of year where a great many of your friends, who have been lucky enough to survive the winter, will be arrested for one thing or another, so the streets will been cleaned of the poor and tourists won't see them and realize how dishonest and corrupt the cities & system are.

People might begin to figure out that the number of poor is directly proportional to the levels of corruption.

(above)This native gentleman was drunk and sitting at a table under the green umbrellas falling asleep, when security grabbed him and escorted him down to the bench and then made him sit on the cement steps. Racism and genocide can be subtle in it's application...but it still remains very evident when you shine the LIGHT on their actions.

WHOA...Roman, you keep moving into my shot, what is it you don't want me to see?
What do you mean; "Get back inside or you'll be kicked out for the day?"
I'm not a prisoner of this institution,

Hey, isn't that a commisionaire? They aren't legally allowed to participate in takedowns. Hey, isn't that an undercover, has he identified himself as a police officer? Why were these guys waiting outside to jump this man as soon as he got kicked out of the drop-in?

Yup...that's them alright...now I know why they didn't want me taking pictures. Someone might see it and begin to figure things out.

They aren't there for anyone but themselves.

I actually got kicked out this month for 'NOT FIGHTING', when one of the former night staff (which I'd caught the night before with all the other night staff, out back smoking a doobie after everyone was asleep - or so they thought), attacked, smacked, and uttered death threats to me, and even though I chose to follow Christ and turn the other cheek, take it, ignore him and not 'knock him out'...I was STILL kicked out, for being assaulted, and they told me they would phone the police if I refused to leave.

My question is...If Reverend Al, our "Time LIFE 'Hero'", ALWAYS stands behind his staff, no matter what, (as he's told me personally), what's my motivation for not knocking out the guy that attacked me and then every staff member that tells me to leave, and then the cops for attempting to arrest me for defending myself?

(Which I'm legally allowed to do...but haven't due to my own self-control and FAITH)

Where are the teachings of Christ they speak of when they come for your money & donations?

Where is the kindness, compassion, or LOVE that Christ spoke of in these places?

Where is this JUSTICE the people of Canada speak of...because I've found it to be just a rumour, as it is factually lacking any REAL evidence of existance.

Maybe it's time YOU did something DIFFERENT about it than contributing to it's growth with your apathy?

When you "Gave at the Office"...this is what you gave.

SLOW-TORTURED-DEATH

Then we have George Bush saying they MUST invade Iraq, because they have 'Weapons of MASS Destruction'.

Yet after murdering thousands of women and children for years without finding anything...was he arrested for these crimes against humanity & GOD???

No...he's still there.

If you also take into account the expression;

"Delayed Justice is Denied Justice"

Welcome to the TRUTH about 'SOCIAL JUSTICE'.

It's a LIE.

For YOUR sake

Wouldn't it be nice to see the TRUTH in print every now and again. I'm sure the ONLY reason people make these kind of By-LAWS, is because they care...right? It's all for YOUR sake. After all, they are SO concerned about your health they made cannabis illegal and cigarettes legal. Though one kills the size of a small city every year, while the other has yet to record a single death because of an overdose. One is free to everyone because you can simply grow it as GOD intended, one must be bought after being manufactured. Neither one has an ingredients list, even though only ONE is natural. Ever ask yourself WHY cigarettes are the ONLY product on the shelves WITHOUT an ingredients list? Ever ask yourself how much of a profit the government makes while it legally & unlawfully MURDERS it's own citizens with poisoned tobacco?
I have, but nobody seems to want the answers.

Can you start to SEE the bigger picture?

This is ONLY the tip of the iceberg.

How can anyone say it's their choice when we don't know what's in it?

When it's even MORE deadly and addictive second-hand, as long as they are made and smoked...who REALLY has a choice?

As long as the government profits so GREATLY from the murder of it's own citizens...why would they stop it?

Just keep dancing around the issue until there's no one left to complain.

Hasn't that already been PROVEN to be S.O.P. ???
