A Revolutionary Culture

Forward! Gradually Then Suddenly Great Moments In Socialism 25 Comments

South Africa made some strides in cleaning up rampant criminality when it hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2010 but that all seems to be a distant memory now. The reality is that the ANC is returning to its ideological roots, where anarchy and lawlessness play a role in cultivating the ground for a revolution that they hope to cash in on. The end goal: make society so chaotic that a traumatized citizenry will accept a dictatorship of the proletariat.

Security vans carrying money are rammed off busy daytime roads by deliberate attacks with vehicles, with guards set upon by heavily armed men who use bombs to blow open safes.

Robberies can last extended periods, with motorway traffic continuing normally on the other side of the road while gangs prime their explosives and rove about with automatic weapons, sometimes filmed by onlookers.

The murder rate fell in the years after the end of apartheid, reaching a low point around a decade ago. Since then, it has increased 77% to the current level – back to where it was 20 years ago.

Detection rates have fallen in tandem, down more than 60% since 2012, leading to the situation where so few murders are solved.

“I’ve just flown in from Canada, where they’ve made killing people legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.” *

Employers opposed to assisted suicide should be disqualified from Canada Summer Jobs funding, an advocate has written MPs. The submission to the Commons human resources committee is from the same group that successfully lobbied for denial of funding to pro-life employers: “Regardless of the Canada Summer job, even if it is to mow the lawn, that work gives sustenance to the group’s harmful mandate and activities.”

Une Patiente, S’il Vous Plait!

I’m not surprised that the doctor lost patience with this woman, but a Quebec regulatory body views that as a perfectly good reason to discipline him. As per the Jordan Peterson controversy, I expect he’ll have no recourse to the courts.

The doctor said he had never prescribed hormones to someone who wanted to “transform into a gentleman.” He then brought up concerns that the hormone would lead to aggressive behaviour and changes in character, something the patient said was just a stereotype.

During the consultation, doctor and patient started arguing, with the patient reminding the doctor that he is a trans man, and the doctor responding that he is “genetically female” and noting that as far as being a trans man: “That is in your brain.”

In a decision that was not surprising, given the philosophical state of the Canadian judiciary, an Ontario appeal court ruled that the regulatory body overseeing psychologists in Ontario can pretty much mandate any kind of “training” it wants to.

Peterson’s comments did not run afoul of any Canadian laws.

Rather, they were found to have contravened specific rules that exist for psychologists, a regulated profession.

“When individuals join a regulated profession, they do not lose their Charter right to freedom of expression,” says the ruling by the Ontario Divisional Court from August. “At the same time, however, they take on obligations and must abide by the rules of their regulatory body that may limit their freedom of expression.”

“The order is not disciplinary and does not prevent Dr. Peterson from expressing himself on controversial topics.”

If I were a resident of the Western Cape province in South Africa, I’d currently be supporting separation from the rest of the country. Failing that, I’d be looking for another country to move to.

In a post on X on Sunday, Nazier Paulsen, a Cape-based MP for the EFF, called for the execution of Cape independence supporters.

This followed a call by Paulsen for his followers to find the IP addresses of secessionists and locate where they live.

About Safe Supply programs is the way it keeps drugs off the street and away from the kids.

In what constitutes a clear trampling of parental rights, British Columbia recently authorized the provision of “safer supply” fentanyl to youth across the province, regardless if parents are informed of, or agree to, this measure.

The provincial government has provided limited access to safer supply fentanyl since at least 2020, primarily through small-scale pilot projects. However, last August the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use (BCCSU), an influential research organization, published protocols permitting doctors and nurses to prescribe “safe” fentanyl tablets to adults and minors. The organization confirmed to me in an email that it had been contracted by the province to produce these documents “to further support clinicians prescribing safer supply across the province.”

Despite the official pronouncements, the main concern of central banks is not inflation or unemployment, but rather the solvency of the banks within their purview. When a bank runs into balance sheet trouble, the go-to solution is to quietly extend more credit on easier terms. The public will be the last to know which bank received the bailout just so depositors don’t get spooked.

About drug decriminalization is the way Safe Supply saves lives.

The Vancouver man who opened a drug store in the Downtown Eastside selling illicit hard drugs has died from a reported overdose.

Jerry Martin opened The Drugs Store out of a mobile trailer in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside selling drugs such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines that were advertised as clean with no impurities or harmful additives.

They appear to be working.

With the number available as of Monday, Saskatchewan may have hit another record for drug overdose deaths in 2023 — potentially putting the tally at eight of the last nine years in which the province has hit a record.

The current numbers go up to Dec. 31, and show 291 confirmed drug overdose deaths in 2023, with another 193 suspected.

If all of those suspected deaths are confirmed, that would put the province at 484 overdose deaths, which would beat the current record of 404 from 2021. Even if half the suspected deaths are confirmed, that would still put the number of deaths in 2023 above the total reported in 2022, when there were 356.

If vaccine side effects are as rare as they are supposed to be, what’s the holdup when it comes to compensation?

Both men were approved for compensation through the federally-funded Vaccine Injury Support Program and have received payments, including ongoing monthly support as neither can work.

“I’ve been waiting for almost a year to hear whether my physical therapy will be covered,” he said.

Scholefield said he submitted his expenses almost a year ago and is still owed about $40,000. Wightman said he sent in expenses about 10 weeks ago and is yet to receive almost $30,000 in repayment.
