Too Much Strange Fire and Power-Plays?

Titled: Rain Forest Fire
Image Source below footnotes

Below is a copy of an email sent this PM to Premier Smith and four Alberta Cabinet Ministers concerning another proposed extension of power into local matters. This parachuting of authoritarian “experts” into crisis areas is getting out-of-hand. Locals are mostly cut out of the decision-loop to protect their and others’ properties. They are forced to watch needless burning (and sometimes strange burning) and are often threatened with prosecution if they don’t obey the fire "authorities," — except where did these “imported authorities” get their authority? Not from the People. Not from the locals. These “experts” are often perfect strangers to the locale. And soon, their imported fire-fighters who just follow-orders will be dispersed and shipped home or to the next crisis where they might sometimes speak in hushed tones about absurdities and peculiarities of strange fire.

When are we going to wake-up to the agenda of devastation being perpetrated and exacerbated? Many of these servitors of devastation are just blind, mindless “assets” of the puppet-masters. We and some of our government leaders have been too naïve, blind, and deaf to "power" realities or too afraid to speak the truths we already know or would know if we had the courage to see what is in plain sight.**  

Anyway, here is another email appeal for rights, freedoms, and jurisdictions sent today, May 14, 2024:
Greetings: Premier Smith, Minister Ellis (PSES); Minister Loewen (Forestry/Parks); Minister Schulz (EPA); Minister Amery (Justice)

I am a strong supporter of Alberta Strong and Free, THUS, I have grave concerns about this alleged UCP “new emergencies bill”* because several years ago, during a grass fire emergency, our rural locals were treated as anything but strong and free. We experienced a takeover by “parachuted” experts and enforcers who cavalierly and with hubris cut locals out of the response and protection of their and their neighbours’ properties and livestock. A command-centre set up by affected locals to keep information flowing and to coordinate volunteer help was ignored by the “powers.”

Local men and women — many of whom are Renaissance people of a myriad skills and creativity — who know the area, the livestock, and the wildlife — who frequently deal with and manage emergencies, were pretty much told to get lost; stay out of the way. They were emphatically told:
“IF we, the experts, want local help, we will tell you what, when, and how to do it, and when to stop doing it. And if you act outside our authority, there will be consequences.”
Roads were barricaded and monitored; areas restricted with an attitude of “We don’t need your local help, advice, suggestions, or arguments.” Heavy equipment and water-tanker trucks were volunteered by locals, including Hutterite colonies, but were told to park equipment until requested, which they never did, while a nearby home and outbuildings were needlessly burned to the ground. The incompetence and hubris of some “authorities” was astonishing and infuriating. And this is not the first-time locals have had to deal with such authoritarianism in a crisis.

Many of these locals are of pioneer stock who have had more life- and crisis-experience than most government-hired experts. If a crisis requires help beyond the local, the requested help should come in with the question: “What help do you need? We are here to consult on how best to assist you under your direction.”

Granted, in a crisis there are degrees of chaos, and a need for unified direction, but the authoritarianism exercised against rural property owners in so many fire events in recent years has been shocking and alarming. We do not need “authorities” who exacerbate losses because they are just following orders from some distant, endless, anonymous hierarchy or who think their plan is the only viable plan.

Many times, in this increasingly crisis-prone world, we may need outside help, but we do not expect or want hubris or harassment. The Province must not give itself unilateral authority to parachute into a “crisis.” Local peoples and local authorities know what a crisis is. If they ask for help, they must always have the authority to direct or countermand any help that comes.

Do not do to Locals what the Feds are doing to Alberta, usurping and disrespecting rights, freedoms, skills, and creativity.

Now as concerning the other municipality issue concerning elected officials: granted, the Province may have broader rights vis-à-vis municipalities as these are creations of the Province, BUT the people are not creations of the Province. If an MD, County, or urban/rural council has issues with elected officials that cannot be locally resolved, then let the legislation provide a consultative process with the Province for accountability, not a unilateral power-play by the Province.

And please, please, please do not politicize urban or rural councils. We do NOT need or want more politicization of public servants. Party politics always, always, always (over time and human nature) descends into a tyranny of party conformity. That is the ubiquitous nature of power and politics.

And lastly, please remember: you are servants of a democratic ideal (the sovereignty of the people), NOT masters in a domination system.

Sincerely,
SMSmith
(Alberta)

#002: Hero - Hydra Stories – Dr. Peter Gøtzsche*


[On Jan 31, 2024, the Hero - Hydra story series was moved to its own blog site: https://heroes-and-hydras.blogspot.com/]

Perhaps Dr. Peter Gøtzsche should have been first in the Hero-Hydra story series,1 but I only heard his story on January 18, 2024 in this 7-min video. First, because in the 2nd video below, he speaks of heroes (beginning circa 7:00 min.) and what it means to stand up against the prevailing narrative of “science,” OR (as I assert), it should more accurately be called: pscience.2

Peter Christian Gøtzsche (born 26 November 1949) is a Danish physician, medical researcher, and former leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is a co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration and has written numerous reviews for the organization. His membership in Cochrane was terminated by its Governing Board of Trustees on 25 September 2018.[1][2] | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_C._G%C3%B8tzsche

1. [Hydra**: abbreviated from Heydrich (pronounced: high-drish) for ease and symbolic reference to the déjà vus of Then and Now.]
If we know our recent history, we know that Reinhard Heydrich was selected by Heinrich Himmler2 in 1931 as one of his organization men to seek out and neutralize resistance by arrests, deportations, murders, etc. In 1942, Heydrich chaired the conference that formalized plans for the “Final Solution.” Adolf Hitler described Heydrich as "the man with the iron heart."

2. Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honourable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, politicized, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, “heretic”-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system. The 21st Century question is: What are we now enabling or supporting? Science or pscience?

Mike “We lied, We cheated, We stole. ...” PompeUS


SO, we, USians, insist that the virus be named the Wuhan Virus, or we won't sign a joint international statement about the “crisis”!1 Let us thank those foreign ministers who refused to kowtow to the pomposity of Mr. “We lied, We cheated, We stole ... .”2 If we USians won't stand up to our own [p]elites (as in pretend / pseudo / pompous / perfidious / psychopathic, etc., etc.), then at least someone has (but for how long?).

As to the source of the virus and its name, should we not be looking for “Patient Zero” or first (suppressed) manifestations or braggart researchers / authorities or patents to give us clues? Could someone actually be looking? Could someone be analyzing who benefits the most in stripping human rights from the “free” world? How about:


Fauci, Birx, and Redfield - Army Virus Bioweapons Plan (George Webb | April 9, 2020 | Time 43:26) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJelNf7hewk



Corona World Order (corbettreport | April 10, 2020, Time 59:17) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB00mLArYBQ

Past time to WAKE-UP to the psychopathy of our [p]elites and reject them outright — unrelentingly calling out their crimes as Pompeo insists on doing to the rest of the world as he reiterated in his Texas A&M speech (at the times noted below in the U.S. Dept. of State podcast*) where those who know the real history of US imperialism and mendacity will witness the tragic hubris and hypocrisy that characterizes this corrupted nation and its [p]elites. Yes, Secretary of State (SOS), “We should never shy away from calling [you / US] out” (30:16; 30:34; 31:46). And if we wish a complete compendium of “bad actors,” (30:22; 30:50) history will undoubtedly rank US as lead actor. There is a mountain of published evidence already, if only we would inform ourselves.

Could some warnings to Old Testament psychopaths,3 apply to our psychopaths if they would only listen?

Strange Things?

How much do we know about what is really going on in our world? Has science become god? Do we care enough to question? to stand up against hubris and tyranny? Are we even conscious of strange things?

ConCERNing CERN


I wonder if any one at CERN* appreciates the irony. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is allegedly mankind's greatest achievement, yet a weasel1 (out of all possible creatures!) shuts it down.2 That monstrous, multi-billion dollar, man-made machine—generating blasts of (hey, let's-see-what-might-happen!) energy—succumbed to the teeth of a small Mustela.

Could this event carry a message? Could it foreshadow:
▪ that Mother Nature intends to triumph over the hubris of CERN's “scientists” and technicians?
▪ that something like the sly, stealthy, aggressive, voracious weasel—a symbol3 like unto CERN itself— will bring the demise of CERN?
▪ that CERN's psychopathic power plays will eventually fry it too?
▪ that “the best-laid plans of mice and [egotistic] men [will go] awry” because “pride goeth before the fall”?4
▪ that “a house divided against itself cannot stand”?5
(PS: This, of course, is based on the assumption that the weasel was real and not a fabrication to deceive. Nonetheless, in the power and economy of God, even CERN may find itself, in the end, the butt of its own machinations.)

2. “Pop! goes the Large Hadron Collider—and the weasel” (Apr. 29, 2016) at https://www.sciencemag.org/news/sifter/pop-goes-large-hadron-collider-and-weasel
“Large Hadron Collider temporarily shut down by unauthorized weasel entry” (The Associated Press Posted: Apr 29, 2016 ) at http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/weasel-lhc-1.3559286
“One Lone Weasel Grinds the World’s Most Powerful Particle Collider to a Halt” (by Rachel E. Gross) at http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/04/29/the_large_hadron_collider_meets_its_match_a_weasel.html
“Large Hadron Collider: Weasel causes shutdown” at http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36173247
3. From Dictionary of Symbolic & Mythological Animals by J. C. Cooper ~ “Weasel: Almost universally associated with evil, the weasel was often feared. ... ¶ The weasel is the only animal other than the cock that can kill the Basilisk,[*] who is afraid of it. ¶ The Bestiaries say it is an example of dissimulation, hearing God's word but being bound by the love of earthly things” [p. 259].
*“Basilisk/Cockatrice: The Basilisk or Cockatrice is an old name often applied to the Serpent ... It is a symbol of evil and treachery. ... It is a creature of extreme malignity, feared by all. It can kill by the smell of its breath, by a glance from its eye or the touch of its tail, and its hiss burns people up; it also produces hydrophobia and sends people mad. ... It can only be killed by a weasel (it is suggested that this may refer to the mongoose) or by a cock, or by seeing its reflection on looking through crystal” [Ibid. pp. 13-14].
So here we have two symbols of evil. Do they symbolically foreshadow that “the judgments of God will overtake the wicked; and it is [mostly] by the wicked that the wicked are punished;” (Book of Mormon | Mormon 4:5)?
PS: I insert “mostly” because God sometimes uses His righteous servants to measure out justice as in Old Testament Ezekiel 9 and elsewhere. As well, not all who might appear to be “punished” are wicked. Many innocent and good people have been allowed to suffer at the hands of the wicked. Here is one instance: “8 And they brought their wives and children together, and whosoever believed or had been taught to believe in the word of God they caused that they should be cast into the fire; and they also brought forth their records which contained the holy scriptures, and cast them into the fire also, that they might be burned and destroyed by fire. 9 And it came to pass that they took Alma and Amulek, and carried them forth to the place of martyrdom, that they might witness the destruction of those who were consumed by fire. 10 And when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children who were consuming in the fire, he also was pained; and he said unto Alma: How can we witness this awful scene? Therefore let us stretch forth our hands, and exercise the power of God which is in us, and save them from the flames. 11 But Alma said unto him: The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand; for behold the Lord receiveth them up unto himself, in glory; and he doth suffer that they may do this thing, or that the people may do this thing unto them, according to the hardness of their hearts, that the judgments which he shall exercise upon them in his wrath may be just; and the blood of the innocent shall stand as a witness against them, yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.”
4. Old Testament | Proverbs 16:18 ~ Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Old Testament | Isaiah 13:11 ~ And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
5. New Testament | Matthew 12:25;~ And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself [evil fighting evil?] is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself [anarchy?] shall not stand: & Mark 3:26 ~ And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. (See also: Mark 3:24-25; Luke 11:17-18)
~ Part of what will defeat Satan, his hosts, and their human accomplices is that master Satan operates in a worst, worst case scenario of emotional dysregulation. With him, how he feels always trumps principles. He'll do whatever it takes to get his way. He has no loyalties except to his agenda of destroying God's plan and of imposing his own. He is the epitome of psychopathic. As a "selfie" he often lacks insight into the self-defeating chaos he inspires that will in the end divide his house into ten-thousand contentious fragments and eventual complete dissolution.
Book of Mormon | Alma 30:60 ~ And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord; and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell.

Death by Distraction?


Just like the bread and circuses of old Rome, WE THE PEOPLE of the World are being anesthetized to reality. We congregate around artificial stages of fantasy and fabrication while the real world disintegrates around us. Please take time for a “blast of truth” and WAKE UP.

And It Came to Pass ?

Assyria. Egypt.
        Babylon. Persia.
                Greece. Rome.
                         United States?
“Whom art thou like in thy greatness?”

Circa 600 B.C.E., this was the question a prophet was commanded to “speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude.”

But does this same prophet also speak (in archetype and déjà vu) to our latter-day world?—especially to the US of America?
1 AND it came to pass ... that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 ¶ Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
10 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18 ¶ To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. (Old Testament | Ezekiel 31:1-18)
What could Ezekiel be saying to US, today?
“To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is [the United States] and all [her] multitude.”
But does another great destruction really have to come to pass, again? Is there yet some possibility for an awakening sufficient to bring us, like Nineveh of old, to fasting and sackcloth and ashes?1 (At least for a time.2)

Or are most of us pretending we are the special exception to the déjà vu?

------------------------/
1. Old Testament | Jonah 3:3-10 JST ~ So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell, if we will repent and turn unto God, but he will turn away from us his fierce anger, that we perish not? ¶ And God saw their works that they turned from their evil way and repented; and God turned away the evil that he had said he would bring upon them.
