10 years and 3 wars later with Osama Bin Laden apparently buried in the ocean many questions still remain about 9/11. For instance, if even 1% of the questions presented in the following presentations cannot be answered, then there is something the U.S. government has lied about. By the way, the

Paul S. Graham: Video: Winnipeg Lanterns for Peace 2011
Every August 6, Winnipeggers commemorate the August 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a Lanterns for Peace Ceremony.

Hellberta: A rundown on Alberta’s future
So the deed is done, the U.S. has now officially been rated AA+ for an entire trading day during which the S&P took the ratings axe to many U.S. institutions. Many people who have read this blog probably look at it with an overly negative outlook. Please now look back
Continue readingHellberta: A conflict over ethical oil
By now anyone who follows energy, economics, or the environment has probably heard the term “ethical oil”. If you are not familiar with it; it was coined by Ezra Levant in his book Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oil Sands. It also coined a lesser known term “conflict oil”.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Afghanistan: Graveyard of Empire
Afghanistan destroys Empires. Ask Great Britain, ask the Russians. The US is well along the same course, but rather than being blinded by nationalism, or ideology the American poison of choice is the continued mismanagement of priorities by the corporate elite. The corporate elite are running the foreign policy bus off a cliff […]
Driving The Porcelain Bus: You’re not defending our freedoms
An Open Letter to the Troops: You’re Not Defending Our Freedoms: Information Clearing House: ICHStephen Harper, Conservatives and Liberals : you should take heed of this letter too. The situation in Afghanistan with Canadian troops is also poi…

The War on Bugs has not yet been won either. The War on Drugs left a trail of destruction through the property of innocent people I know, today. The RPS caused needless damage in executing a search warrant in American-style imprecision, smashing doors, and terrified innocent bystanders by pointing guns at them, all to go […]

Spirit has taken a dirt nap on Mars, years after it was expected to fail. If only Microsoft, Apple, or Garmin could build devices half as reliable as a Martian rover, I wouldn’t have to make so many blasted RMA claims on or off warranty. If only we put a higher priority on space travel […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: War on Drugs
It’s hard to run a country with everyone squawking in your ear about how you have to be just like them, even if they are failures. The war on drugs is a failure, but Washington is pulling strings in Ottawa and Mexico, and even London too. – If the Pentagon is now taking acts of […]
Politics, Re-Spun: The Social Determinants of Health
(Note: This post contains a portion of the talk that I gave last month at the 16th International Conference of the Association of Psychology and Psychiatry for Adults and Children in Athens). Research has now clearly established that economic, and social variables – more than individual or family behavior – are the most salient factors […]

Rozie was a helluva’ dame. She could sink those rivets faster than a two-dollar fancy-girl could peel the wrapping off a sailor on shore leave, after he’d been at sea for several months, writing bad poetry and extended metaphors that ended up just kind of petering out, the way that an old man with a […]

This is how I see the economic system of the world operating, and it’s the basis for many of my feelings about the economy in Canada and in Saskatchewan. It’s why I work to make things better however I can. Capitalism may be the best economic system we’ve run into thus far, but it’s not […]
The Happy Wanderer: The Path To Peace In the Middle East.

To understand the problem in the middle east one must understand how Israel was created in the first place. First the Truth about Israel is that there were Jews living in that area for centuries. Now after WW2 the UN had a plan that would divide the te…

The more we learn about the so-called humanitarian intervention in the skies above Libya, the less it looks like a war Canadians should support. Like the bogus humanitarian claims Tories and Liberals have used to support extending Canadian participation in the occupation of Afghanistan, the war against Libya has more to do with imperialism and […]
