Wars and Peace

Wars and Peace
I thought I should elaborate a little more on my position in this war. I don't want people thinking I'm a deranged killer just because I support the idea of a physical response to the threat in the east. Peace is a noble cause, but I have little faith in the power of peaceful protest to end wars. One of the wisdom books in the Old Testament speaks of a time to every purpose under heaven, including a time to kill. Do you like Star Trek? Have you seen the one about the 'goody-two-shoes' pacifist who almost let Hitler win World War Two? That's what I'm worried about. And I'm not sure how effective protests will be in ending this war. All the peace marches of the 1960's may have made Bobby Kennedy a presidential contender, but then what happened to Bobby Kennedy? You see, when you're up against brute force, little can be achieved by civilized arguments.

Of course, not everyone is cut out to be a soldier. Even someone creative like myself, with a sensitive nature, might make a far better poet than a soldier. But I take after my father in some ways: I have a very strong fighting spirit. Unfortunately, I'm perhaps a little too old for military service now. I'll likely have to settle for writing a very aggressive poem, maybe about war heroes. It might be good for morale. We'll see. Hopefully I'll be able to share it without it turning into a Saturday Night Live comedy sketch on NBC or a Leonard Cohen music video on MuchMoreMusic.

On a different note, did another rock star die? A Foo Fighter? Does anyone recall in 2007 when a Vancouver rock radio announcer said that 'David Skerkowski might be opening for the Foo Fighters'? That's what he said, all right. (Does no one remember but me? How awful.) They must have liked my music, but it was shocking public announcements like that, combined with the constant theft of my online posts by TV stars and rock stars, which ultimately sent me running to my doctor for help in early 2008. While my account of my online ordeal was entirely true, it must have sounded like the fantasy of a paranoid schizophrenic. He put me on disability, and now I'm the highest paid order picker in the country. I did approach the Ministry when I got this job three years ago to ask them to close my file, but they said they had to keep it open. Well, I tried. If they want to keep treating me like I'm crazy when I'm not, that's their decision. I have no mental health issues, just unresolved copyright issues - thanks to your lovely friends in the mass media. Oh, and at the risk of losing my disability top-up which the Ministry insisted upon, I would like to officially break with the NDP on the issue of increasing our defence budget to two percent of our gross, which they oppose and I support.

By the way, if you see a video called George Carlin on some cultural issues posted by Anders Jacobsson 11 years ago, I can tell by Carlin's age and attire that this video's content was ripped off from my erased 1999-2007 Blogger account. If you enjoyed the humour, you're welcome. If you still love and want to thank George for plagiarizing me, you'll have to go to where he resides now. I'm sure the news has you thinking it's a great place. By all means, go. Yes, and while I'm at it, Youtube, Family Guy is a crook.

You Call That Fraud?

You Call That Fraud? Nov 15/2020: Just one more little note to say that I saw a science video that very effectively debunked the technical claims of 911 conspiracy theorists with regard to fires and controlled demolitions. There are still a lot of unanswered questions for me about that day but I am starting to find myself more agreeable to other explanations outside of conspiracy theories. I'm reasonable that way.[End of Insertion.] There has been a lot of talk about fraud these days and I have had a long personal experience with fraud. I have been complaining about the entertainment fraud that was committed on a vast scale against my blogs over the last twenty years or so online. I have evidence of the fraud that was committed against me but it is too late to have anything done about it now. I was unable to secure legal help at the critical time because I lacked money. My evidence of the fraud committed against me is this Blogger account. The links below these pa...

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time...

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen...
