From the depths some inspiration will follow

After reading the whole depressing story, here about a company that makes profitable swanky shirts for a 500% markup, moving to China so it can make more money, the final sentence is inspirational - hard to keep the Welsh down.

McGuinty's blown it again

As usual the pols in the ruling party in Ontario have misread the winds of change. In trying to give the budget goodies to people who will vote for them they have missed the target.

Despite the inadequacies of the budget, and there are plenty of them, the goodies will fall flat if they (the libs) think that those goodies will be repaid in votes. The bottom line is that by invoking class warfare by giving the poor the goodies and ignoring the selfish middle class, class warfare will break out. The Middle class will hate the libs for not being given anything and not vote for the libs and the beneficiaries of the largess, the low income demographic, don't vote!

Just a few lines

Number 1:
The Cobourg budget process - What an unnecessary song and dance. The DM has produced a document that he cannot agree with, because it contains a tax level of a 4.6% increase. He says, "4.6 is too high!" but doesn't say what is acceptable. I am sure that when the combined wisdom of four dead white men and the Mayor and the two new guys get down to it all will be breaking their arms trying to congratulate themselves for getting it down to a level they consider is acceptable.

How about doing it this way - the DM will produce the first document at a level of 0% or less and only the essentials get added in. In other words the coordinators and staff will have to cut items from the budget and then justify to each other what should be added in, if necessary.

Number 2:
How about that effort to change the procedural bylaw? It still contains the catch 22 it always has had. The five day rule. Only people who have notified the Council five days in advance of the Council meeting are placed on the agenda. But when the agenda is published five days ahead of the meeting how can anybody determine what they want to talk about? Nice way to stifle debate. But wait the DM says that the Mayor has the discretion to grant delegations audiences before Council and usually does so he doesn't see any need to change the rule. Now we have a monarchy - offend the King and you will not be allowed to speak, if you are a favoured person they will listen to you. So much for universal suffrage..

An incredible theory

Listening to the radio, on my way back back from pulling sloppy drivers from the ditch, on an equally sloppy night, last night I heard a man on the radio spin this theory. As the tale is on the internet I feel free to repeat it. It is an example of alternative thinking that may or may not be dismissed out of hand instantly as the work of a crank but the facts do come together in a fascinating way.

Daughter Of Adolph Hitler Vows To Complete European Union

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

It is with troubling concern that we report today that the Western Nations have announced this week that the ancient German city of Meerholz, Germany has now become the ‘Heart’ of the European Union with the inclusion of the former Soviet block nations of Bulgaria and Romania.

The symbolism of this ancient citadel, founded in 1170 by the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (who was also crowned the Holy Roman Emperor in 1155, and who has been known throughout history as Barbarossa) now being the ‘Heart’ of Europe cannot be lost upon our World of today, particularly when viewed in the light of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s vow today to unite all of Europe under one single constitution, which in effect would wipe out the National Sovereignty of all the countries in the European Union.

This vow being made by Angela Merkel to unite the European Continent under one flag cannot be ignored, especially when viewed in the light of still secret, but ‘obtainable’, Soviet KGB archive files which present a terrifying portrait of the present German Chancellor as being the daughter of the former German Nazi Leader, Adolf Hitler.

Though said to be born on July 17, 1954 in the former Soviet controlled German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Angela Merkel’s Stasi GDR file (currently still held in the Soviet KGB archives) states that she was instead born on April 20, 1954, the birth date of her ‘true’ father, Adolph Hitler who was born on April 20, 1889.

The means of Angela Merkel’s birth, as detailed in these documents, was based upon the research of the German Doctor Carl Clauberg, and though classified as one of the worst Nazi ‘Angel of Death’ doctors, and convicted by the Soviet Courts as being a ‘war criminal’, was nevertheless freed by the Soviets as he was recognized as being the ‘Father’ of artificial insemination.

According to these reports, Doctor Clauberg was released by the Soviets after serving only seven years of his sentence in return for turning over to the KGB his hidden files on his Nazi artificial insemination experiments and, more horrifically, the frozen sperm of the former Nazi Dictator, Adolf Hitler.

Upon their receipt of the Nazi files on artificial insemination, along with Hitler’s frozen sperm, the Soviet Politicheskoye Buro (Politburo) authorized the experiments to ‘resurrect’, ‘if possible’, a child bearing the ‘genetic markers’ of Adolph Hitler.

Doctor Clauberg then brought to the GDR (Communist East Germany) the wife of Adolph Hitler’s, Eva Braun, youngest, and most devoted to the Third Reich, sister, Gretl to be the ‘surrogate’ mother for the intended offspring of the Hitler’s frozen sperm. It was ‘reasoned’ that the combining of the genes between Hitler’s sperm and Eva Braun’s closest family would produce for the Soviets a ‘near match’ of what a child of Hitler and Eva Braun would have been, should one have been born.

Upon the birth of Angela Merkel in 1954 it was ‘agreed upon’ by the Soviets, Americans and the Vatican, that she would be ‘placed’ under the ‘control’ of the Catholic Church through its ‘connections’ with the GDR Lutheran Church, and whom she was in fact placed with. Doctor Clauberg, after the birth of Hitler’s Daughter, and upon his return to West Germany was promptly imprisoned and then murdered almost two years later while still in custody of the West German and Americans.

In the, aforementioned, ‘agreement’ between the Soviets, the Western Powers and the Vatican, the ‘ascendancy’ of Hitler’s Daughter to power could not be achieved until the Vatican also brought to power a German Pope, and which was accomplished in 2005 following the death of Pope John Paul I, and which then brought to power the former German Nazi Joseph Ratzinger, and who is now known as Pope Benedict XVI, and who assumed the Leadership of the Roman Church on April 20, 2005 following his election the previous day.

(It goes without mentioning the significance of the present Nazi Pope taking power on the 116th birthday anniversary of Adolph Hitler.)

Quickly following the Nazi German Pope to European power, Hitler’s Daughter was elected as the Chancellor of Germany on November 22, 2005, and which is one of the most significant dates for the World Globalists, as it was on November 22, 1859 that the ‘final assault’ upon Christianity was made with the publishing of Charles Darwin’s "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection", and whose intention of fragment the Western Worlds peoples from their truest origins, and meanings, has succeeded beyond their expectations.

Today, the Daughter of Hitler, holding the same office as her father, Chancellor of Germany, is now the most powerful human being on our Earth as she is also the President of the European Union (EU) and the head of the powerful Western Economic Block known as the G-8.

More concerning, however, is that her Fathers dream of uniting Europe under German/Vatican control through war is now to be accomplished by his Daughter using deception. For as we have been taught from our ancient past, in the uniting of the Continent begins the destruction of our present World, and which as the New Comet runs, and as Mabus has died, begins the tribulations of awakening and Final Destruction of the dragons of old.

The back room revenge!

Warning,The following report is based on speculation and personal knowledge of process

On Monday evening the Cobourg council will appoint members of the public to various advisory boards that report to Council. The procedure for getting appointed is pretty simple, one applies and then waits to be picked by Council. In reality this process is one of power politics. The reason being is that the list of appointees is the coordinators responsibility. BUT the coordinators picks have to be ratified by the rest of Council behind closed doors. So the public never gets to see the petty vindictiveness and political backbiting that occurs when a name that is not acceptable to the majority pops up on a coordinator's list.

As was the case last Monday when names were put forward by the new councillors. The top of the list never made it to the final selection.

As the events were behind closed doors in an 'in-camera' meeting one can only speculate the absolute glee the old guard must have felt when they had the chance to put the boots to the 'new way of doing things' as the coordinator of planning tried to make the case (I speculate about these things as we will never know the truth; after all the participants are sworn to secrecy!).

Just what is going on at LACAC? - fire the lot!

Extract from the agenda for Monday night's Council meeting:

Report from the Deputy Clerk regarding an application for a heritage permit at 20 King Street West, Cobourg. (Planning and Development Services)

Action Recommended - That the recommendation of the Cobourg Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee be endorsed and that the application for a heritage permit at 20 King Street West, Cobourg be denied; and further that the applicant be requested to give consideration to reinstating the former original window openings, reinstating the original window lintels, undertaking structural repair required between the original window openings with a similar colour brick material to infill the opening and install new windows, with six over six design, to replicate and be consistent with the original windows of the building and those on the third floor and to be consistent with the Heritage District Guidelines.

What this means is that last week LACAC recommended that a course of action be taken that would be in violation of its own guidelines and Heritage standards to allow a local developer to do what he wanted to his historic building in the middle of the heritage district. Now this week LACAC recommends that the full weight of the standards be applied to another property owner in the same heritage district effectively denying him the same right to do what he wanted to do - ignore heritage standards!

What kind of message does this public contradiction send to the voters? As far as I am concerned the whole of LACAC must bear the blame for this. Accepting the demand from the Town staff (which staff?) to have a quick meeting without the usual notice to all members was wrong. Meetings take place under regular policy and to expect the Chair of a committee to accede to pressure from staff just because they have timetable is scandalous. The whole of the bureaucracy knows the time and dates of the meeting and they should plan agendas accordingly. If they had then the Chair of LACAC would have not missed the hurriedly called meeting because of his scheduled vacation commitment.

Now to the point of making recommendations outside of LACAC policy. It was wrong and has been roundly condemned by all sectors of the electorate this week. Perhaps the members of LACAC who are not willing to uphold the policies should not have a seat on the committee.

But even more importantly just how are the gang of four supposed to uphold this week's recommendation when it contradicts the public position they took last week?

Stay tuned for these follies!

The old versus the new and the influence of money

The first real meeting of Council has produced a real split of opinion about the heart of the election - planning and heritage issues. In vote of 4 to 2 the new attitude was voted down. That attitude was a change in the way developers requests are received. It is interesting to note the most vociferous of the opponents of questioning developers intentions are the people who have received large election donations from developers in the past elections. Whether the developer of the Plaza gave money to councillors is not known and will not be known until the election financial reports are filed in April. But it does illustrate the need for realistic election financing disclosure rules. Read this account from the Cobourg Daily Star of the issue
