Two federal politicians have asked Canada's competition commissioner to investigate whether companies have been conspiring to raise the price of frozen potato products — like fries and tater tots — after similar allegations were made in the United States.

NDP MPs Alistair MacGregor and Brian Masse — the Opposition critics for food price inflation and industry, respectively — sent a letter Monday asking competition commissioner Matthew Boswell to start a "comprehensive" investigation into whether businesses have been working together illegally.

"We are writing to bring your attention to significant concerns about competition and price gouging at the grocery store," the MPs wrote.

Happy Birthday Kenneth Campbell "Ken" Stott, born on October 19th 1954 in Edinburgh.

One of my favourite actors, as hard-drinking Detective hero of Ian Rankin's popular book he was Inspector John Rebus to me. Ken's Father was Scottish and a teacher, his mum a Sicilian, he went to the famous George Herriots school before going onto to Mountview Theatre School, where the distinguished actor Sir John Mills was president. Fellow Scot Douglas Henshall was also a student of the school. Before leaving Edinburgh Stott had been in a band called Keyhole some of the members of the group would later join the Bay City Rollers.

Ken went on to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company but the pay was poor and he subsidised his earnings by selling double glazing. His first TV role was in Secret Army for the BBC, parts in TV shows throughout his career have included, Taggart (of course) The Singing Detective, London's Burning, Your Cheatin' Heart and Silent Witness. He was insome good films too, The Debt Collector (with Billy Connolly) , Shallow Grave, (with Ewen MacGregor) and Plunkett & Macleane (with Robert Carlyle).

My favourite shows of Ken's have been the brilliant BBC Scotland series, Takin' Over the Asylum in which starred as Double Glazing salesman, but aspiring disc jockey

with David Tennant and Angus Macfadyen,The ITV series The Vice was also a cracking series where he played DI Pat Chappel and The BBC show Messiah, where again he played a cop, DCI Red Metcalfe where he learned sign language for scenes with his screen wife,and Rebus of course, when the show was resurrected in 2006, Stott was a first choice for many as D.I John Rebus, John Hannah had the role in the first incarnation, mainly due to it being made by his own production company.

On film Ken is probably best known for his role as the Dwarf, Balin in The Hobbit trilogy. He is a popular choice for voice work, as narrator for series such as Trawlermen, a documentary following North Sea trawlers, and Send in the Dogs, following the work of Police Officers and their canine partners.

One of my favourite stories about Ken Stott echoes the no nonsense approach of Rebus, on stage during Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge, he halted the play when a group of teenage schoolkids were misbehaving and disturbing the show, switching from his stage American to his native Scots accent he told the teacher responsible for the children to remove them, or the play would not go on.

The house lights were switched on and there was then a 15-minute stand-off as discussions took place with the offending youngsters.

The audience took the side of Stott and even resorted to chanting 'out, out, out' in extraordinary scenes. Eventually the three culprits and an embarrassed teacher was forced to creep away before the play resumed at the Duke of York's Theatre.

Of his recent stuff check out The Dig,, it a decent film and based on a true story of an archaeologist embarks on the historically important excavation of Sutton Hoo in 1938.

I can't see anything happening on Ken's IMDb page, but there is a third series of the Irvine Welsh show Crime in development, so I expect he will reappear in that.

If you're of a certain age, you remember the ads for the compilation albums by Ronco and K-Tel -- "20 original hits by the original stars" was always the tagline -- but there were other companies out there putting out mixtapes on vinyl, like Sessions, and then there is this two-record collections by a company called I & M Teleproducts which has 23 releases listed in Discogs.com -- several of which are Lawrence Welk, but many of which are contemporary collections.

Dreamin' is from 1979 and I approve of the tracklist. While Ronco was putting Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" and Barry Manilow on the same record, or K-Tel was mining the latter half of the Top 100 with Forgotten Charting Singles By Major Artists, I & M was attempting to stay a bit more on-topic and contained mostly music that neither of the bigger names had tapped but you knew. And being a two-record set, you felt like you got twice as much tunage when actually you didn't (21 songs) but there was a better chance of higher quality sound due to the uncompressed groove on the vinyl. It's up to personal opinion whether the line "21 original hits by 18 original artists" sounds impressive, especially since the songs by those repeated artists have been pretty much forgotten.

Here's the track list and you do know many of them:

A1 Samantha Sang– Emotion A2 Dan Hill– Sometimes When We Touch A3 Gladys Knight & The Pips– Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me A4 David Soul– Don't Give Up On Us A5 Paul Anka– The Times Of Your Life B1 Kenny Nolan– I Like Dreamin' B2 Gladys Knight & The Pips– The Way We Were B3 Atlanta Rhythm Section– So Into You B4 Mary MacGregor– Torn Between Two Lovers B5 Jessi Colter– I'm Not Lisa C1 Peter McCann– Do You Wanna Make Love C2 Eric Carmen– All By Myself C3 Jennifer Warnes– Right Time Of The Night C4 LeBlanc & Carr– Falling C5 England Dan & John Ford Coley– Nights Are Forever Without You C6 Daryl Hall & John Oates– She's Gone D1 Roberta Flack– The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face D2 Paul Anka– There's Nothing Stronger Than Our Love D3 Dorothy Moore– Misty Blue D4 The Spinners– They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play) D5 Gladys Knight & The Pips– So Sad The Song

Trivia: The Bee Gees wrote "Emotion" though didn't record it themselves for many years. David Soul was Hutch on the TV show Starsky & Hutch. Many of us can't help but think of Kodak film ads in regard to "The Times Of Your Life". Peter McCann technically makes two appearances on this list because he also wrote "Right Time Of The Night". "The Way We Were" is a Barbra Streisand cover from a 1973 movie by the same name, and the spoken introduction to the Gladys Knight song is "Try To Remember" from the long-running 1960 Broadway musical The Fantasticks.

February 13th, 1924, London, England

Multiple friends had wanted to throw a large birthday party, but Byron had refused. 29 wasn’t a special age, and in truth, he did not want another reminder that he was entering the last of his twenties. Instead, he selected a restaurant he knew Montgomery would complain about and invited the Misses Balass and Patel for additional company.

“I am unsure if Samira will come,” Byron mused over a glass of wine. “When I telegrammed her last, she was still in India and said she would not return until the middle of the month.”

Montgomery frowned. “I hope yer wrong.”

“You like her then?”

He nodded. 

Eleroa sighed. “Well, I hate to break it to you, but she won’t be in England until the end of the month. She wants to spend some time with a cousin in Hungary.”

As they ate, a new dilemma reached the back of Byron’s mind: Who was he going home with? Perhaps it was a selfish desire, but he thought he was allowed to feel as such. It was his birthday, after all. 

“Does yer father know that ya eat pork?” Montgomery asked Eleora, eyeing the Beef Wellington on her plate. 

“Do your socialist and communist friends know you spend most of your free time with a duke?”

Byron snorted. 

The Scot pushed up his glasses and stood. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to clean me glasses.”

“Is that just a polite way to say you need to use the loo?”

He blushed but did not answer, walking away.

Eleora shook her head, turning her head back to Byron. “I’ve been trying to get into that doctor’s trousers ever since my family began to see him.”

If he had been drinking, he was sure he would have choked. “Eleora!”

“What? Don’t tell me you don’t think him handsome. At first, I thought he was still in mourning over his wife, but now, I think he unfortunately must have some moral qualms about sleeping with patients. Or he’s fearful of my father. Likely both.”

“He is you and your father’s doctor. It’s a place of power that can be abused easily.”

“That makes it more fun,” She laughed, leaning forward. “You’re much closer than widowed in-laws I think would be. Is there something else? I certainly wouldn’t blame you.”

If it were anyone else, Byron would have froze with fear and adamantly denied it. “I can never understand how you read me so well.”

She shrugged. “I have intuition. …Actually, I saw you two kissing rather passionately at the last party we went to.”

“I see. Perhaps I should have said something prior.”

“It’s alright. You’re the not only one who enjoys the company of the same sex.” Eleora lowered her voice. “Samira and I sometimes lay together. She prefers women, so her current infatuation with Montgomery has been most amusing to me. And makes me rather jaundiced and want to fuck him more.”

Byron smirked. “Well, he’s very talented with his hands,” he whispered, leaning forward so only she would hear his words, “and his tongue.”

Eleora laughed and playfully pushed him away. “You shouldn’t make me think of that in a public place, Byron.”

“Think of what?” Montgomery asked, returning to the table.

Eleora suddenly sighed and held her hand to her head. “Oh, doctor, I do think I coming down with a most tremendous headache. It is much too loud here.”

The amused look on his face turned into one of concern and professionalism. Gone was Montgomery, and here was Dr. MacGregor. “Yer apartment is not far from here, aye? I’ll make ya specific tea and see what else ya’ve got.”

“I’ll foot the bill,” Byron muttered, wondering what the woman had planned.

Colonel Douglas MacGregor has been very outspoken about the corruption in Washington, Hollywood, the Media and Hedge Funds. He wants Christians to come forward and help put the United States back together before it's too late.

Here is the link to the movement's website, considering the amount of corruption and attack on society's fabric, this is worth a look at. We need a movement like this in Canada too, our country is being over run by people that don't hold the same values we do, and Trudeau & company have faced many scandals, with no accountability. Please re-post and get the word out!

Have you seen Moto Guzzi’s “On To The Next Journey?”

Moto Guzzi is “ON TO THE NEXT JOURNEY” with Ewan McGregor

If you’re looking to cuddle into the blankets with a good mug of comfort and a new show, look no further; award-winning Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has partnered up with Moto Guzzi to bring us a new autobiography-style campaign showcasing the beauty of “the symbiotic relationship between man and motorcycle.”

The campaign, now available to watch on Youtube, is a beautiful homage to Hollywood’s golden years, with every Moto Guzzi machine in the film fresh out of Ewan McGregor’s own collection (that’s how much of a Guzzihead our Obi-Wan is, apparently).

Ewan MacGregor riding a handful of Moto Guzzi Machines in the brand’s new campaign, “On To The Next Journey.” Media sourced from the brand’s recent press release.

Locations of the scenery include Eric Lloyd Wright’s brutalist house in Malibu, as well as the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, “the desert spaces in Lancaster, the L.A. River and the Second Street Tunnel in downtown Los Angeles,” all memories that will stay with McGregor for a lifetime – especially the one riding Moto Guzzi’s stunning V100 Mandello.

“When I got to open up with the V100 on the Pacific Highway,” recounts Ewan, “it was truly an exhilarating experience; this is a very unique bike – sporty yet comfortable, perfect for a long ride. It’s totally Moto Guzzi at heart, and that’s what’s so great about it, that they managed to design a modern liquid-cooled motorcycle that still feels like a Guzzi.”

Now, wait, how long will it takes SH, a beginner motorcyclist on his custom Triumph 🏍️ to do the same by copying Ewan McGregor 🤔

@imahalfemptykindofgirl Very good observation. Ewan’s motorcycle 🏍️ is a limited edition Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello “Aviazione Navale” in celebration of its historic connection between Italian motorcycle manufacturer with the Navy. The link between Moto Guzzi and the Navy goes back more than a century when company founders Carlo Guzzi, Giorgio Parodi and Giovanni Ravelli served together in the Aeronautical Service of the Regia Marina during the First World War.

The brand emblem, Spread Eagle, has its origins in this era and combines classic style with modern technology with elegant design and exclusive details, this motorcycle is a desire for many motorcyclists and collectors around the world.

Books I Read in 2024 (and some brief thoughts)

Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh- took me like five months to finish it, i just don't think it was for me

Ghostbuster's Daughter: Life with My Dad, Harold Ramis by Violet Ramis Stiel- harold ramis is a huge comfort guy for me and feeds the huge daddy-issues hole in my heart, so this book was the best thing ever for me

You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose- i was looking for trashy romance, and that is what i got. ending was a little dumb, but fed me what i was craving

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson- listened to the audio book, i don't think i absorbed much of it.

Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Michael Schulman- super interesting topic, and very well-written! I will say tho that it felt like it glossed over/compartmentalized the role of poc actors/awardees into one chapter

Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America by Mayukh Sen- a lovely and quick book, i want to learn more!

This is Your Mind on Plants by Michael Pollan- reads more like a person running up to you and telling you about their first interactions with drugs, a bit unprofessional imo

For God, Country, & Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and Company That Makes It by Mark Pendergrast- very well written, super dense, cool when i started to recognize the ads they were talking about

The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales- I LOVE THE DEEP SEA AND ALL OF GOD'S FUNNY CREATURES IN IT

How to be a Dictator: The Cult of Personality in the Twentieth Century by Frank Dikötter- read this to prepare for a class that I ended up dropping, but found it a decent introduction to each of the people covered in it. Definitely not a comprehensive history however

The Tale of Genji: Dreams at Dawn (Volumes 1-7) by Waki Yamato- I took a class on japanese lit during my semester abroad this year, and this is so SO good. I like how the old topics (grooming, overall creeping over young women) is actually not explained away as "result of the times" and acknowledged for the psychological damage it gives. Going to defo continue finishing this series in 2025!

The Great Wave: Gilded Age Misfits, Japanese Eccentrics, and the Opening of Old Japan by Christopher E. G. Benfey- this has become an area of history that i've focused a lot on, and was looking forward to reading this book since it's centered in the exact spot i love to learn about. However, after the first section, this book gets so boring and confusing jfc. just not well-written imo

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon- super fun, thrilling, sexy (but also be warned for some super fucked up couple dynamics)

Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami- yup murakami wrote this non-fic , and it's super upsetting

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown- read this so i could watch the movie so i could see hot ewan macgregor as a hot priest so i could see him yank off his priest collar, got exactly what i wanted and then some. this story was insane i actually loved it so so much

Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed by Maureen Callahan- crazy upsetting and super illuminating. would defo recommend

Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon- not as sexy as Outlander, but a super solid story. very history heavy

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown- not as exciting as Angels and Demons, felt a bit more like I was being talked down to, but still a fun read

Conclave by Robert Harris- read this bc the trailer for the movie looked super epic, and this book had me in its clutches until the very end. ending was interesting, and i'm choosing to believe (hope) that it's well-meaning and just tainted bc the topic was a bit clumsily handled

Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright- very interesting and dense af. learned a lot more about tom cruise than i thought there would be and a lot less about john travolta than i thought i would

A Woman of Pleasure by Kiyoko Murata- guys like honestly,,,, dare i say fav book of year! (heads up for intense scenes tho)

Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves by James Nestor- I LOVE DEEP SEA CREATURES PART 2!!! super cool book and very very interesting. a bit of a jack-off near the ending.

Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen by Brian Raftery- had me watching a ton of 1999 movies, a super great book

Voyager by Diana Gabaldon- just as hot as the first book in the series (woo!), and the love story is super cute. A bit uncomfortable whenever diana wrote about Mr Willoughby bc he's a huge chinese stereotype. also thought she handled the topic of the slave trade a bit ham-fistedly, but i see her intentions of keeping it in the historical context instead of ignoring it

Sentinels of Solitude A Suspense Thriller of Love, Land, and Legacy (Oregon Mysteries)

Rae Richen https://www.amazon.com/Sentinels-Solitude-Suspense-Thriller-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B0D4CB12VC

Who Hates Douglas MacGregor and Why? When landscape architect Bronwen Llewellyn takes on the renovation of property around the beautiful home on the MacGregor ranch in Oregon, she is pitched into a land battle for ownership of the MacGregor Ranch.

A sniper has attempted to kill Margaret Macgregor’s son, Douglas, and his old ranch hand and friend George. Then Bronwen and Douglas are nearly killed by a bear trap. Bronwen is sure whoever is behind the attempted murders must be closer to the MacGregors than the land company that wants fifty of the MacGregors’ hundreds of acres.

Each new attack shows an intimate knowledge of what is most important to Douglas. Yet Douglas MacGregor refuses to believe any of this is the work of someone he considers a friend.

Can Bronwen convince Douglas to look beyond the land company for the true threat? How can she save the man she has come to love from the one who wants him dead?

On 21st June 2010 the much loved singer, actor and stonemason Tam White passed away.

Born Thomas Bennett Sim White in Edinburgh on 12th July 1942, White was primarily known as a blues vocalist with a trademark gravel-voiced voice, big names he worked with during his singing career include B.B. King and Eric Clapton.

White also took to acting, you might remember the MacGregors appearing in the middle of the night into Wallace's camp, Tam White was at the head of the clan, Wallace tells them to go home to which Tam/MacGregor replies "We'll have no homes left when the English garrison from the castle comes through and burns us out! And they will!".

The son of a lorry driver and a cleaner, he grew up in Edinburgh, living above the White Hart Inn, in Grassmarket, where Robert Burns had stayed in 1791. (White would later set Burns's poem The Slave's Lament to music for a track on his 2004 album Hold On.) The Whites were a musical family: Tam's grandfather was a bandmaster and his mother, Marion, was a fine singer. At Darroch secondary school in Edinburgh, White sang in productions of The Beggar's Opera and The Mikado, and he auditioned for the Edinburgh Opera Company.

American popular music was soon to claim him, and he sang Buddy Holly numbers in a skiffle group, but after hearing Ray Charles singing he said " that turned me on to rhythm and blues."

White began a solo career which initially took a pop/soul direction, redolent of Long John Baldry. He then completed a debut album in 1969, but the set owed more to prevailing hippie-folk trends than his fiery, early work.

In 1974 White won a UK television talent contest New Faces, and secured a recording contract with producer Mickie Most (one of the panel of judges). The singer scored a minor hit the following year with ‘What In The World’s Come Over You?’, with the song he was the first person to sing live on Top of the Pops, but he was uncomfortable with the cabaret balladeer direction this ushered. In the 80s White returned to Edinburgh where he became a popular attraction, performing the blues-edged material he obviously prefered.

He remained a gifted singer and his voice was used in the highly successful BBC television drama series Tutti Frutti, it was then he started turning his hand to a bit of acting, on the big screen he appeared in the excellent film Orphans with Dougie Henshall, on the small screen roles in Taggart, Rebus and Eastenders are among his credits, although making a living with bit parts and his singing Tam never gave up his "full time" job as a stonemason. One of his final albums was Stone-masons Blues in 2007.

A fitness enthusiast, he died of a heart attack after a gym session in Edinburgh on this day in 2010.

August 1915, Newcrest, England

After a year’s engagement, Edeline and Montgomery were finally wed on a Saturday morning. Alexander was able to make leave to attend the affair, along with many of Montgomery’s friends who were also serving. Seeing all the men in uniform made Edeline laugh. It was like their own company.

Her bridesmaids were her dear friends from finishing school, Giselle, and Alice, her best friend in London. Giselle had not only designed and sewed the wedding, but she had made the bridesmaid dresses as well. She was so grateful for her wonderfully talented sister. 

Edeline found the affair magical, and when they kissed and the vicar introduced them as Captain and Mrs. MacGregor, she thought her heart would explode from happiness.

Eruption | Michael Crichton & James Patterson | Published 2024

A history-making once-in-a-century volanic eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a decades-old military secret could turn the volcano into something even more terrifying...Now it's up to a handful of brave individuals to save the island - and the entire world.

Two of the bestselling storytellers of all time have created an unforgettable thriller. The master of the techno-blockbuster joins forces with the master of the modern thriller to create the most anticipated mega bestseller in years. Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he'd been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how speical it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world's most popular storyteller. Eruption brings the pace of Patterson to the concept of Crichton: the most anticipated mega-thriller in years.

Hilo is a picturesque town on Hawaii's Big Island. It is also home to Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, volcanoes that are bound to create issues for the townspeople. Mauna Loa is still an active volano, while Mauna Kea hasn't been active in more than 4,000 years. And Dr. John MacGregor is predicting a large eruption is about to rock the Big Island in less than a week.

Working feverishly around the clock to predict exactly when the eruption will occur and in which direction the lava will flow, Mac's efforts are further made important when the U.S. Army speaks to him about a particular issue that nobody anticipated having. In what is called the Ice Tube, deep inside of Mauna Kea, are canisters that are holding radioactive material, of which they've been stored since the 70s. The Army of today have inherited this problem, and its contents are known as Agent Black, or the Black Death or Black Plague.

With Mac's predictions showing that the lava flows will go straight for the Ice Tube, effectively ruining the canisters which are already fragile and disintegrating on their own after years of sitting, Mac realizes that unless they can figure out a way to work around their problems, Agent Black will be released into the air and bring upon the death of the very world as we know it.

Nearly a decade earlier, one canister burst open and Agent Black killed various plants located inside of the Botanical Gardens, but it was quickly contained and nothing was ever found out by the general public. But, there are plenty of people questioning the Army's involvement in the volcanoes eruption.

As the eruption draws nearer, Mac, along with several members of his team, a demolitions company from Texas, some wayward influencers who are volcanologists, a billionaire, a rogue pilot as well as the U.S. Army work tirelessly in their efforts to ensure their plans work, which includes bombing different areas of the mountain, digging trenches in order to divert the lava flows, amongst other plans, all in the effort to avoid Agent Black's release into the world.

But, the eruption happens, and Mac is shocked to realize that their initial data was wrong, and it is flowing in the opposite direction from Mauna Kea. However, multiple eruptions cause lava flows to spew from all areas of the mountain. Soldiers and civilians alike are dying from both Agent Black, that had been mistakenly released into the general public by a solider who failed to follow proper protocols after an issue with containment occurred, as well as the lava itself, which is flowing directly through a small town on its way to Hilo, as well as directly in the path of the Ice Tube.

Mac, along with the Army's best pilot and top gun, are up in the air attempting to bomb the area, which would put Hilo directly in the path, in which case those who wished to remain on the Big Island during the eruption would die, while simultaneously saving the entire world from extinction. However, their plane becomes overwhelmed by volcanic ash and soot known as vog, which is so thick that the two of them don't know which way is up or down, and the plane itself is becoming a target of the eruption.

However, once they are able to clear themselves from the vog, they see that Pele, the goddess of volcanoes, has been looking over them the entire time, as the dried lava from Mauna Kea's last eruption more than 4,000 years ago, aides in the diversion of the lava from Loa's latest eruption, saving both the town and Big Island, and avoiding the destruction of the free world as we know it.

It's a strange list of books that on the surface seem to have nothing much to do with our daily lives, but in fact, these resources tell the tale of how our country has been overtaken by guile and corruption, who (and what) is responsible for this outrage, and they suggest --- if only by logical extrapolation --- what to do about it.

The first insight involves the formation of a separate government in a separate jurisdiction of the law, by foreign, for-profit corporations; and, a still-functioning British Secret Society founded by Cecil Rhodes for the purpose of creating and expanding the colonial British Empire worldwide:

Carroll Quigley: The Anglo-American Establishment

Carroll Quigley: Tragedy and Hope

Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor: Hidden History - The Secret Origins of the First World War

The second important insight that Americans desperately need is an understanding of the source of the Overpopulation Myth and the evils of both the Committee of 300 and the Club of Rome:

Dr. John Coleman: The Story of the Committee of 300

Dr. John Coleman: The Rothschild Dynasty

Get your feet wet with a video:

https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/dr-john-coleman-exposes-the-committee-of-300/

Through these works you will finally understand where the evils of the present era have been born, nurtured, and foisted off on us --- by whom, for what reasons, and how.

The politicians were bought off by the Committee of 300 and, the Club of Rome, acting as a storefront for evil elements within the Committee of 300, put it all in motion specifically to destroy the middle class of this country and to promote an agenda of global genocide.

The primary requirement to restore sanity in this world is to: seize the ancestral wealth of the specific criminals responsible so that the more unsavory members of the Committee of 300 and Club of Rome are prevented from using payola and grants as a means to pursue these insane genocidal objectives.

Just how much payola to the employees of the NIH has recently been disclosed by OpenTheBooks.com --- they were individually motivated by no less than $170 Million, while the sop to the institution topped over a billion dollars.

The second requirement is to arrest these criminals and throw away the key -- en masse. These heirs of the British East India Company and their Club of Rome pals all need to face charges for genocide, piracy, unlawful conversion, and more.

The third requirement is to expose everything they have done to destroy, steal, murder, maim, and control entire nations, usurp national governments, and corrupt every aspect of life on this planet.

We don't need the United Nations protecting the UN CORPORATION and WHO, nor do we need corrupt politicians operating a phony corporate government in a "territorial capacity".

We don't need False Narratives of any kind.

We have a complete picture of the Evil in our midst, where it came from, who promoted it, how they have funded it, and most important -- who they are.

May all their malice, greed, arrogance, uncaring, and criminality be reflected harmlessly away from their victims and may we all join in washing away the blood and misery that has been the legacy of the British East India Company, their heirs forming the Committee of 300, and their foot soldiers in the Club of Rome.
