Drummer Boy

Just as bad in Canada, maybe worse.

10 deaths world wide from Omicron with morbidity. Results? Shut down the entire world. Don’t know about you but I am going to ignore all of the hysterical BS.

Aye what a Bonnie lass, Premier Bonnie is:

Restrictions acknowledgment today as COVID cases surge ...

Be Frightful, Be Hysterical, Be Compliant

“As long as we focus on cases and not survival rates, we are doomed forever. It will never end.”

And No Religion Too

Ah, “Imagine,” the song written by John Lennon that promotes atheism and communism. The UN wants to adopt this song as it’s anthem for their vision of one world government. This is the song that every lefty, altruistic, ideologue piano player hauls out after a major terrorist attack, like the ones in France. I used to like this song. Now I hate it for what it has become.

John Lennon was not a very nice man. He was a hypocrite to the core. Altruism was anathema to him. Just read his biography.

Religion over the centuries has brought us this:

And this:

Or brought us songs like this, written by a Christian and published in 1931.

Or this:

Wallpaper : travel, Ontario, Canada, pope, heritage ...18 Most Beautiful Catholic Churches in USA - The ...

And this:

Or, would you rather have this?

The Full List - Here Are The 269 Companies Who Are ...

People say that religion is at the root of all of our problems. Perhaps, but all of these problems have been manifested by man and not God. It is man’s interpretation of scripture and the Word that has caused all of these problems. They are man made problems not God’s.

Some people will say to me: how can you believe in such rubbish? And I will say to them: “If I am wrong about my faith then I have lost nothing. But if you are wrong in your beliefs that God doesn’t exist and he is not your savior then you will have lost everything.”

Canada’s Feminist Foreign Policy

This is why our woke Prime Minister is nuts. This is part of his mandate letter to his new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Melanie Jolli:

GST on Netflix still a possibility as Liberals review ...

Yes, she is very attractive, but she went from the no nothing Heritage portfolio to Foreign Affairs. I guess that qualifies her.

“With the support of the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth and working with the Minister of International Development, expand Canada’s efforts to advance gender equality and LGBTQ2 rights abroad. This will include support for the work of global feminist initiatives, relevant international institutions and civil society partners, including the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council.

“Continue to develop and implement Canada’s feminist foreign policy with the support of partner organizations, and continue to be a global leader in championing the rights of women and girls in all their diversity, LGBTQ2 people and other marginalized communities. In doing so, with support from the Ambassador for Women, Peace and Security, continue to advance Canada’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, including by launching Canada’s 3rd National Action Plan, and build on Canada’s leadership to further this agenda on the global stage, including our support for the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations and for the full and meaningful participation of women peacebuilders in peace and security matters.

I didn’t know that Foreign Policy was gender specific.

“In collaboration with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, continue Canadian leadership on international efforts to combat climate change.”

That doesn’t exist.

On her opinion re the two Michaels, Canadians held hostage by China for over two years:

(NP) Jolli did acknowledge that Spavor and Kovrig were “illegally and unjustifiably detained,” but, but, but, so as not to offend China” she also appeared deferent to the Chinese Communist Party line. “Of course the two Michaels are on bail according to the criminal law in China, and so we want to make sure we work that out with the Chinese government,” she said, as if China’s hostage diplomacy is a normal and routine legal proceeding.

On Bail? Are you kidding me? That is the level of incompetence that foreign affairs demonstrates. Of course she is a French Canadian avowed Liberal nominated by our Prime Minister.

I want my country back. Unfortunately Canada is now hostage to the “woke” movement.  Lester Pearson must be turning in his grave.

I am really starting to wonder what the real agenda of our government is with respect to Quebec. Do Canadians know that Quebec gets about 63% of all equalization payments and contributes nothing: $13B of the total $20B.

Hardly a word from our PM regarding Quebec’s controversial secular law re the wearing of religious ornaments; their recent announcement that French is the only official language in Quebec; and that Quebec is a nation within a nation. Yes, English is no longer recognized. Yet the rest of us have to comply with French.

Did you know that Quebec, as a non signatory of the Canadian Charter can demand amendments yet Alberta, as a signatory, cannot?

Why do you think the government is pushing hard for the provinces to partner with the Liberal’s child care initiative? They want to start the progressive, liberal, woke indoctrination of children at a very early age. By placing your child in this day care you will be handing over the nurturing and educational mores and memes to the Federal government woke standards. Basically, your responsibilities as parents are abrogated. You will lose parental control in raising your children. Do you accept this?

And then there is this. From Rebel News:

We really do have a “fool on the Parliament hill.

I wish that Canadians would grow a pair and wake up and vote this guy out when the next election is called. But somehow I doubt it.

SJ…Out.

 

Red Jewel: Notes

Red Jewel Notes

Red Jewel is my fourth book. I should have the draft ready for editing by Christmas.

Red Jewel is a work of fiction that is based on true events. Any relationship to individuals, who are alive today except for those mentioned below, is coincidental.

Saipan is a vibrant island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana chain. It is the hub and government centre for the US protectorate. Its population as of 2017 was 47,565.  Saipan’s economy has had many highs and lows over the years since the war. Today, its economic base is tourism. Five casinos operate on the island. In spite of its size and limited available land, Saipan also has a number of golf courses. It also has a picturesque grotto, numerous caves and a beautiful and expansive lagoon off of its western shore. Managaha Island, which is located at the entrance of the Tanapag Harbour’s navigational channel, is also a favoured destination for tourists. Scuba diving is also popular.

Lao Lao Bay, on Saipan’s east coast was also known as Magicienne Bay during the war.

Saipan Is The Most Beautiful Place In America You've Never ...

Japan’s Imperial Force’s Admiral Nagumo was the Co Commander of the island of Saipan at the time of the invasion, June 1944. He is of particular note as having been in command of the Japanese forces in their attack on Pearl Harbour, December 7, 1941. Ironically, many of the Battleships attacked at Pearl Harbour were repaired and overhauled at the Bremerton Naval Yard and redeployed and formed part of the shore bombardment of Saipan against Nagumo’s forces during the Battle of Saipan. He committed ritual suicide, Sepuku, or  “Hari Kari” along with his Co Commander Lieutenant General Saito and staff during the last days of the battle.

A number of memorials and dedication areas can be found on the island, most notably at the Marpi and Banzai suicide sites on the north side of Saipan. The World War Two Saipan memorial is prominent outside of Garapan, near Tanapag Harbour, for its dedication and remembrance of the sacrifice made by the men of the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Marines as well as the Army’s 27th Division. 25,000 marines and soldiers and Chamorro civilians died during the Saipan, Tinian and Guam campaign from June – August 1944. Many of the Chamorro and Japanese soldiers and civilians committed suicide by jumping off the Marpi and Banzai cliffs. The exact numbers are not known. Some estimates say as many as 8,000 people died. Others say about 1,000.

Ted Culp is the name of a character from my first novel Kurofune: The Black Ships. The character is based on an individual who hailed from Bremerton Washington and took part in World War Two in the US Navy. He passed in May 2011.

The events noted during the sail on Red Jewel from Honolulu to Saipan are fictional but are based on real events.

The sailing yacht Drummer was real. She was presumed lost at sea enroute from Hawaii to Alaska. The grounding incident at the Ala Wai did occur.

Clyde and Les are real life characters. Their adventures as told here were real. The couple from Omaha was also real.
