Why central planning fails

There is a great debate going on in Canada about our contract to purchase 88 F35 fighter jets.  The jets are to replace the aging CF18s, but too many Canadians are butthurt by Donald Trump.  They want to cancel the contract and order jets from Sweden instead.  The average clueless Canadian thinks this knee jerk reaction will really damage Donald Trump.  Once again, I am forced to marvel at the stupidity of the average Canadian.

The last time The Canadian military bought new fighters was 1980.  Canceling this purchase denies the US the opportunity to sell us a handful of jets every 45 years.  Do you think canceling the equivalent of 2 jets per year is going to be a grave injury to the world’s largest economy?

Canadians do not understand macroeconomics and cannot do math.  They also don’t understand business contracts.  I am sure that there is a break fee in this contract.  If we don’t go ahead with it, we will still be obliged to pay Lougheed Martin.  They will make their profit from us anyway.  The only difference will be that we have no planes to show for it.

I really don’t want to write another post this morning about the stupidity of the average Canadian.  There is a surprising reason for that.  I also question the wisdom of the contract but not for the same reason.  I want to know why we buy jets and not drones.

On the killing fields of Ukraine, an estimated 70% of casualties are now caused by drones.

The Ukraine war has been fought with drones, missiles, and artillery.  The tanks and jets that we sent made almost no difference.  They were destroyed at long distance by Russian missiles which allowed drones to rule the battlefield.  Portable missile technology has gotten so good that it is making jets and tanks obsolete.  So why are we still purchasing jets and Tanks?  Central planning, that’s why.

National militaries are great examples of central planning.  A few people go into a room and make all the decisions.  They buy jets and tanks because those technologies worked before and look good in parades. Our centrally planned military is just not nimble enough to respond to changing market conditions.  That is not the case in the hyper capitalist world of drug trafficking.

They warned Kyiv that cartel members were infiltrating Ukraine’s foreign ­fighter cadres to learn how to fly first-person view (FPV) kamikaze drones, which give pilots a bird’s-eye view of the target as they close in with an explosive payload.

This is an odd but effective example of Capitalism vs state planning.  Canada is still buying fighters when we should be buying drones.  Conversely, Mexican drug cartels are working feverishly to leverage new technology.  It is shocking how the Canadian government can be so deeply in bed with drug Cartels and still not see this.  You can’t teach old socialists new tricks, I guess.

If they get away with it, embarrassment will be the least of your problems

For years on this blog, I have been musing about how COVID hysteria and the resultant vaccine deaths could have happened. I am never surprised when politicians cause deaths.  Most of them are sociopaths attracted to politics by the opportunity of unearned, seemingly unlimited, power.  What surprises me is how many otherwise normal people participated in the killings.

The thing that separates politicians from ordinary serial killers is that politicians don’t get their hands dirty.  Someone else always does the killing for them.  In the case of COVID much of the killing was done by the medical professionals who administered a vaccine that they knew absolutely nothing about, that came with a blank safety data sheet.  Why would anyone in their right mind inject another person with basically an unknown chemical?  After all they had a choice.  They could have said no.

The truth is governmental sociopaths do not commit murder without help.  Justin Trudeau, Jason Kenney, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Jacinda Ardern; none of these sociopaths personally injected anyone.  They all paid Doctors, Nurses, and Pharmacists to do it.  Every one of those people had a choice.  They all could have refused.

Doctors, pharmacists and nurses took a huge risk participating in this crime.  They do not have the get of jail free card given to big pharma.

Moderna and Pfizer were given legal immunity.  The legal immunity they were granted emboldened a lot of people who did not share the same protection and some of them are about to find out the hard way.

The people who assisted the government on their latest murderous rampage had to take on faith that the government would protect them.  Trusting that the government will have your back is normally a fatal mistake.  But not this time.  If you kill for the government their friends in the court will have your back.

FRANKFURT, June 25 (Reuters) – An appeals court in the German city of Stuttgart on Tuesday rejected damage claims against a physician who was accused of not warning of alleged harm from a COVID-19 vaccine she administered.

Informed consent is no longer a thing.  All those pesky Nuremburg rules have been discarded because they are far too inconvenient for the government.  Apparently, no one is responsible for this manufactured crisis.  Not the people who developed and released the virus.

Senator Rand Paul says Dr. Anthony Fauci is directly responsible for the 18 million deaths from COVID-19, calling it the most catastrophic failure in modern medical history.

Or the people who destroyed livelihoods and lives.

The rest of the legislature wants to pretend they did nothing wrong and move on. We cannot let that happen.

I know most people want to put COVID behind and move on with life.  They prefer to think that what happened was an accident because that would absolve their guilt.  But they are guilty.  Anyone who sat idle and mute as the government committed mass murder has some share of the guilt.

COVID was not an accident.  It was an enormous crime with billions of witnesses.  Witnesses who now won’t say anything because they are worried their own inaction reflects poorly on them.

We are past the point where nice can be an option

Reimmigration is now being discussed even in woke countries like Canada and with good reason.  Citizens of First World nations have finally realized that our governments are lying about immigration.  You cannot fix problems caused by declining native birth rates by bringing in people who are not net contributors.

the left’s promise that foreigners would feed into the pension system falters when confronted with the data.

Citing the article, Italian commentator Francesca Totolo wrote on X: “No, immigrants do not pay pensions to Italians. The absolute poverty rate among families of only foreigners is 35.2%, while among families of only Italians it is 6.2%. This means that it is and will be Italians who have to pay for assistance, subsidies, housing, and pensions to foreigners without resources.”

Mass immigration is the quickest way to collapse a modern welfare state.  It is beyond stupid to believe that importing people who pay little to no taxes, but demand services, will help balance the government’s budget.  This should be obvious to everyone yet some governments like Canada are still encouraging foreigners to show up and demand services.

The feds are using the fact health care in Canada is free to try and lure immigrants to come to the country.

You might wonder why the Canadian government would promise health care to attract immigrants that the economy does not need and that will forever burden the state.  Sadly, the questionable actions of the Canadian government always have the same motivation, corruption.  Our current immigration system harms the country but benefits individuals.  It benefits the immigrant but more importantly it financially benefits people connected to the government.

Su, gave Biao immigration advice and offered what looked like a clear path to permanent residency — for a steep price tag of up to $110,000. Biao ended up paying $40,000 before walking away.

An expert told CBC that immigrating to Canada shouldn’t cost nearly that much; it typically costs between $5,000 to $10,000 to hire an immigration consultant for a process similar to Biao’s.

Immigration fraud is a 10 billion dollar a year industry in Canada.  Immigration lawyers and consultants are making fortunes from both legal and illegal immigration all at the expense of taxpayers.  And this is not a uniquely Canadian problem.  The entire western world is being destroyed so that people in and connected to government can make money.

The machine is self-reinforcing. Ministries measure virtue by euros or dollars spent, not migrants integrated. NGOs depend on inflows to fund payrolls. When migration dips, budgets shrink; when it surges, the system thrives. Western border regimes now behave like any other subsidy scheme: failure pays.

illegal migration happens because people profit from it.  The western world is being destroyed by greed.  At this point stopping it will not save us from bankruptcy.  We already have an unsustainable problem.  Anyone who can do math knows the only way to keep the welfare state from bankruptcy is to push people out of the system.  You can let the system collapse and push everyone, including citizens, out.  Or you can start sending people home.

Politicians and bureaucrats have put us in a position where there is no nice or charitable way to save our countries.  We must stop being a door mat that benefit shoppers wipe their feet on.  We need to start sending people home and then we need to deal with the greedy elites that put us in this position.

Crimes, not Mistakes

Another study has been released that showed the COVID jabs failed to prevent COVID deaths while increasing all cause mortality.  The researches also confirmed previous findings that the more Jabs you take the more likely you are to die.

Every dose of the COVID-19 injectables has evidently tended to shorten the life-expectancy of the recipients. This fact is far more evident when we examine all-cause mortality in time intervals (see Figure 3) that correspond to worldwide changes.

Multiple papers have been published now with the exact same findings.  The COVID Jabs are not safe and are not effective.  I wish I could say I was surprised by this, but I cannot since I warned everyone in May of 2021 that the Jabs would not prevent infection and would provide very little benefit.

This is important to understand for 3 reasons.

  1. These treatments only serve to give your immune system a Boost. They help improve your odds of survival.  They really do not do anything more than Vitamin D and Ivermectin.  But there is one crucial difference.  There are no known side effects for Vitamin D and Ivermectin.

  2. The benefit from the treatment is temporary. Antibodies fade quickly without the T cells you have no lasting immunity.  That is what the yearly booster shots are for.  The booster shots are not for new variants as you have been led to believe.

  3. We cannot reach herd immunity through Vaccination. To reach herd immunity everyone must still be exposed to the virus and get infected.

I warned at the time that the risk of a new treatment with such a small potential benefit was not justified, and it did not take long for the data to confirm that.  Only one month after it was already apparent that the Jabs were more dangerous for young people than the virus.

The COVID Vaccines have already killed 3 times more young Israeli men then the virus.

Then by July of 2021 the data was clear that just as I predicted the Jabs did not prevent infection.

If Vaccines prevented infection, then most of the new cases should have been unvaccinated people.  That was not the case.  Vaccines made absolutely no difference.  In each age group the % in new infections in vaccinated people exactly matched their percentage in the general population.

Over the next year Data continued to accumulate demonstrated that the risk/reward was not just negative for young people.  The Jabs were not working for anyone.

The vaccine narrative is changing because the data is that bad and getting worse.  In every age group the vaccines do more harm than good; so why are we still pushing them on children?

The public is not ready to admit it yet, but COVID Jabs have failed spectacularly.  Who would have thought?  Just anyone with even an ounce of common sense and some knowledge of history, that’s who.  It was easy to see this trainwreck coming, that is why I wrote this in May of 2021.

The truth is that there is no possible way the government can know these Vaccines are safe.  They are far too new.  The Covid Vaccines had no animal trials and only a limited 2-month human trial.  It can take years to realize the full impact of any new treatment.  Thalidomide was considered safe for 6 years before it was finally banned. 

I wish I had not been, but I was right.  The purpose of this post is, however, not to brag.  I just feel compelled again to point out that I am not special.  If I could take the available data and apply some logic to arrive at these conclusions anyone could have.  Even people who work for government.

You will never hear me praise any government for intelligence.  Governments have more than their fair share of morons and collectively they do incredibly stupid things.  But not everyone in government is a moron.  Hundreds of thousands of people work for government so there had to be thousands that knew exactly what I knew.  They knew what they were doing was wrong and they did it anyway.  There were no mistakes.  The government’s actions were criminal.

The heart damage was real. The pandemic was not

A study came out a couple weeks ago that concluded people who suffered heart damage from the COVID jabs may require ongoing medical care for the rest of their now shortened lives.

Pericarditis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination can evolve into a recurrent, difficult-to-manage inflammatory condition. Effective treatment may require IL-1 blockade to disrupt the autoinflammatory cycle. Prompt recognition and early escalation of therapy are essential to reduce morbidity and prevent complications.

Remember when Saint Fauci told us that myocarditis and pericarditis from the Jabs was mild and temporary?  That lying little weasel had no reason to believe what he was saying.  In fact, he had every reason to believe the opposite because there is no such thing as mild heart damage.

Millions of people have become profit centers for big pharma.  They are now forced to purchase medication continuously to treat a condition caused by the same companies that sell them the medication.  The more I look at vaccines the more I am convinced that their primary purpose is not to prevent disease.  It is to produce customers.

This tragedy was caused by greed and fraud.  Millions of people were victims of a gene therapy fraudulently sold as a vaccine.  The justification for the deception was a worldwide pandemic that wasn’t.

This means that the paradigm that a spreading viral respiratory disease caused the excess mortality during Covid is false.

Instead, the excess mortality appears to be entirely iatrogenic and induced by the imposed so-called pandemic response.

I have said many times; if the government had not blundered in and made everything worse COVID would have been nothing more than a bad flu year.  We have bad flu years all the time.  The difference with COVID was that governments wildly overreacted to an overhyped threat.  That virus killed few.  Governments killed many.

Much of what happened during COVID was stupid people doing stupid things out of fear.  Modern governments are full of stupid people.  That makes them dangerous.  Still to produce something as tragic as COVID that stupidity must be focused.  It is the people directing the army of useful idiots in government that are the real criminals.  So far, those criminals have proven to be above the law.

If we continue to ignore the criminality at the core of the COVID response it will happen again.  There will be a new virus, new vaccine, and more people dead at the hands of government.  Is that the future that you want?  Because our collective inaction guarantees that it is the future we will get.

Culvert Chronicles

I work for multiple clients.  Normally I do not speak specifically about anything I do for them on my blog because I do not want anything I say to impact on my clients.  Today will be an exception.  For the last several weeks I have been involved with something that perfectly illustrates how dysfunctional Canada has become.

I work part time for a small company that owns, among other things, a short gravel road.  In August a government inspector checked the road and found a culvert in need of repair.  The company received a letter informing them that the culvert must be repaired.  It is my job to handle day-to-day operations, so I called our road maintenance contractor.  He went out to inspect the culvert and provided an estimate.  $5000 to fix the culvert but he also recommended another $2000 to recontour the ditch.  He advised me he could start immediately.

I contacted the Government inspector to give them repair details and told them we would start and finish the job the following day.  The inspector told me that I can’t do that because the dry ditch on both sides of that culvert has been designated as a waterway by another government department.  My client cannot do any repairs before a biologist confirms there are no fish living in the dry ditch.

I contacted an environmental company to do the required study.  One week later I received a 13-page report confirming that there are no fish living in the dry ditch.  The story does not end with a useless report, however.  Part of the report was a repair procedure and an obligation to notify the government 2 weeks prior to any work starting.

I gave the repair procedure to my road contractor, and he advised me the Cadillac price of $7,000 he had given me won’t cover what the environmentalist wants done.  The price is now $13,000.  I want to step back for a moment to drive that home.  By regulations I cannot use the recommendations of a contractor who builds roads and has installed thousands of culverts.  I must instead follow the recommendations of an environmental company that does nothing other than sell expensive reports to people who are forced by the government to purchase them.  By following the advice of someone who has never built a road or installed a culvert my repair costs have increased by 86%.  Remember that cost does not include the cost of the 13-page report clarifying that fish do not live on dry land.

The culvert is still not repaired because my client has yet to complete the necessary 2-week notification.  No one, including the government, was certain how this should be done.  Our company administrator has been wading through the regulations and continues to discover more forms that must be filled out.  Forms that largely contain the same information that she has already provided in previous forms.

We are now 9 weeks into this farce, and the costs will have more than doubled once we get invoiced for our 13-page dry ditch fish report.  This is happening in what is considered the most business-friendly province in Canada.  Canada is broken.  It was broken by professional politicians and a bureaucracy that finds ways to make ordinary activities like fixing a culvert expensive and time consuming.  There is no way to fix this short of firing everyone and starting over with people who possess at least a drop of common sense.  Sadly, that is as unlikely as finding fish in a dry ditch.

A new low for Canada

Another chapter of the greatest crime in history closed this week in Canada.  Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber received their sentences for the heinous crime of embarrassing the government.

Tamara Lich is not going to jail.

Nor is her Freedom Convoy sidekick Chris Barber.

But they will be under house arrest. And not just for a couple of weeks but a whole year.

Some people are relieved that neither person received actual jail time but how was that even possible in the first place?  How could you be threatened with jail for a peaceful protest when Canadian courts routinely refuse to jail even violent criminals?

There are so many double standards here. Many other protests turned into violence where fires burned and property was damaged, but harsher justice was administered to some of those who were protesting COVID-19 mandates, It’s also lost on few that so many criminals with far more serious crimes have received far less in terms of length of trial, effort of the Crown and sentencing.

These are certainly stiffer sentences than some parliamentarians have received. For example, in 2021, former Liberal Kitchener South-Hespeler MP Marwan Tabbara was handed a conditional discharge and placed on probation for three years after his guilty plea was entered for two charges of assault on a man and a woman in Guelph. He also pleaded guilty to the amended charge of “unlawfully” being “in a dwelling” or home

Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau was given an absolute discharge in 2015 on his guilty plea to assault and narcotics counts, which allowed him not to serve time or gain a criminal record.

If it wasn’t for double standards Canada would have no standards at all.  In the last 2 weeks 2 men were given lighter sentences FOR RAPE AND MANSLAUGHTER because of their indigenous backgrounds.  Why didn’t this also apply to Tamara Lich?  Lich is Metis.  She has just as much native blood as those men yet at no time did anyone mention that Lich should be treated leniently because of Galdue.

Identity politics is the most important factor in Canada right up until the moment you embarrass the government.  If you make that mistake, the color of your skin or your virtue signaling social media posts will not save you.  The government will spare no expense to make an example out of you.

COVID is the largest crime in history.  5 years later not a single participant has been punished.  The only people who have been punished are those who tried to expose the crime.  They will do it again and by punishing Barber and Lich they are laying the groundwork to silence any future opposition.

Shakespeare was right.

Canadians were shocked recently when a rapist got a lower sentence because he was native.  Many Canadians asked how any judge could do that.  The 1% of Canadians who actually pay attention did not ask that question.  They knew the judge had no choice but to reduce the sentence because of Gladue.

Yet when it came time for sentencing, the court factored in his Indigenous background, poverty, addiction, and experiences in foster care. The judge said these Gladue considerations shaped his life and outlook. As a result, his prison term dropped from 10 years to eight.

26 years ago, a group of liberal activists masquerading as judges on the supreme curt decided the best way to solve the problem of so many natives in prison was by simply not putting Native criminals in prison.  When this happened, sane Canadians pointed out that giving lenient sentences based on race was not just unconstitutional it was stupid and dangerous.

20 years after this moronic decision by judges, who were appointed for their allegiance to the liberal party of Canada rather than intelligence or even common-sense, Canada found they had a serious problem.  There were hundreds of missing native women.  Who would have thought that releasing violent felons back into the communities that they were victimizing would end like this?  Certainly not politically appointed supreme court judges.

Canadians are the most clueless population on earth.  Most have no idea how corrupt and destructive our courts are.  Canadian courts routinely ignore law and common sense in favor of personal political ideology.  One court will hand down an idiotic decision so that another can expand that precedent to even more ridiculous extent. It does not take long before you have hundreds of missing women or lose control of your borders.

A government strategy to prevent Iranian regime members from resettling in Canada is struggling to show results after border security officials lost their fourth deportation case.

Canadian courts have decided that they get to choose who stays in our country and they are using their brethren in the law community to consolidate even more control over immigration.

A lawyers’ group says it is suing the federal government in a bid to boost legal protections for newcomers in “high-stakes” immigration and refugee cases.

“What we’re trying to do is to establish through a court order the right to be represented by counsel throughout the entire system,” said Choudhry, a principal at Circle Barristers in Toronto.

What an incestuous little game.  One group of lawyers petitioned another group of lawyers (judges) to change the system for their personal financial benefit.  This petition does not ask the taxpayers to pay legal costs but in all things law, this is not the end.  Once this has been forced into Canadian law the next petition will certainly force the costs on to taxpayers.

Only a fool could be blind to the fact that our corrupt courts are destroying Canada.  Sadly, Canadian’s have a track record of voting for fools.  Our Current court Jester Mark Carney is no exception.  In an act of stunning stupidity Carney has asked the courts if they want more power.

Continuing in that divisive, virtue-signalling tradition of the Trudeau Government, the Carney-appointed Attorney-General (who, appropriately enough, was Justin’s disastrous immigration minister) has asked the Supreme Court of Canada to change the Constitution of Canada to limit the use of the notwithstanding clause.

If the court decides to agree (and why wouldn’t it? It would mean that courts will be even more powerful), then Canada will continue its journey from a democracy governed by representatives elected by the people, to an autocracy ruled by appointed judges.

The not withstanding clause allows elected governments to ignore incredibly destructive decisions from the court.  If this is removed the courts will be in complete control of Canda.  We may as well cancel elections.

 

 “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” 

Shakespeare, Henry VI part 2

 

If you ask a lawyer that line indicates that tyrants need to eliminate lawyers who are brave defenders of democracy.  If you ask anyone who has ever dealt with a lawyer, the interpretation is very different.  Lawyers and former lawyers who now sit as judges don’t have a good track record of defending anything other than their own personal interests.  You can’t fix Canada without fixing our courts.  Lawyers and judges will never let that happen.
