Down the rabbit-hole *
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. * Alice in Wonderland

A few eggs for your basket, or something to break your fall:

1)  From the Globe and Mail, Mar. 20: - Liberal defence critic Denis Coderre commenting on the DND blueprints "found" in the trash.
He used the incident to mock a Canadian general's warning in February that the military is cautious about what it releases, because Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan are reading Canadian newspapers.

"Al-Qaeda doesn't have to read The Globe and Mail any more; all they have to do is look for a garbage can and find something interesting from DND," Mr. Coderre said.

Between the Globe and Coderre, what we have here is a double yolked Easter egg, laid for the express purpose of synonymizing in the minds of Canadians "the Taliban" with "Al Qaeda", to make both terms interchangeable in the demonization of any Afghan villager who dares to fight the foreigners who have invaded his country.  Nicely glazed with a pretense of concern about our own national security.

It's a bonus egg in more ways than one.  Deep inside is the suggestion that the Globe and Mail is an "Al Qaeda" informer. That should get them a few more readers.

2) The Associated Press, a daily purveyor of unhealthy treats, swings a basket of hard-boiled security analysts (definition of a modern security analyst: one who promotes belief in Al Qaeda) to convince the world that Bin Laden is alive but, alas, not well upstairs.

His brain is not only dead, it is clearly addled, cracked, scrambled or possibly fried.
Or maybe he was thinking about Eggs Benedict and got sidetracked. (Do you ever wonder if the Pope's closest pals call him "Eggs" for short?)

Poor, sad (and decomposing) OBL has forgotten that the US is evil and that he's supposed to be unhappy about the war in Iraq.  Instead, he seems to be giving Israel a reason to tighten its stranglehold on the Palestinians, and more Christians a reason to support Israel.

3) The Vancouver Sun claims to be puzzled by Canada's inaction in the Khadr case:
Canada and the U.S. have expressed their support for the Paris Principles, which state that child soldiers "should be considered primarily as victims of offences against international law." which state that child soldiers "should be considered primarily as victims of offences against international law."
The Paris Principles don't actually contain those oft-repeated words.  No doubt they are derived from guidelines established at later conferences regarding the recruiting of child soldiers.

I find it puzzling that the Canwest Easter Bunny waited until Omar was an adult before putting him on the delivery list.  Why did he spend so many Easters in Guantanamo with nary a peep out of the chickens?


Even more puzzling to me is why the media never seem to question the fact that even though Omar's family are proudly professed "Al Qaeda" supporters, they have had free run of the barnyard all the while that Security Certificate victims have either languished in Guantanamo North or under house arrest playing Simon Sez with control freaks.

Every bunny basket contains a Mystery Egg.  One that looks as if it got mauled by the neighbour's dog. But why focus on only one?

Why genuflect over one crucifixion when there are thousands more? Why not close down the Guantanamos stashed all over the world?  Or is that just too life-affirming, too Christian for those whose motto is "kill the scumbags"?

By the way, do you get the impression Rick Hillier is preparing to run for office?  Will there be a bloodless military coup in Canada similar to the one that occurred just prior to 9/11 in the US?  From the National Post, Feb. 22:
General Rick Hillier, Canada’s top soldier, indicated Friday that his days as chief of the defence staff are numbered, joking that he wants to put the “general” into “general manager” by joining the front office of the Toronto Maple Leafs. More seriously, he said his address before the Conference of Defence Associations was likely to be his last.
4)  Watch out for bombs that look like sweets:
 From the Toronto Star: Cancer screening push aimed at poor, newcomers
Heartwarming.  I don't believe in cancer myself, but statistics say that roughly half the population will get it and the numbers are increasing, and it's possible that there are some genuinely well meaning persons involved in this project, even though it's such a huge and profitable industry.  Science has created all sorts of highly-paid careers out of it, and big pharm's shareholders pray every night that more people will succumb to it.

Because of that, I can't help wondering what methods will be used to coerce the poor and newcomers to put themselves into the hands of the cancer establishment.  Not to mention that, if our health care is free, why wouldn't they have been getting the same care as everyone else all along?


In England, cancer sufferers (the poor ones, naturally; the ones who can't afford exotic treatments abroad) are enticed into a game of Russian roulette where some receive experimental drugs and others unknowingly get placebos.

All this is enough to make one pay closer attention to David Icke, or at least to his treatise on the hidden perils of the burgeoning varieties of pharmaceuticals in the medicine cabinet of the average doctor-goer.  Here's a quote from it:
Dr Bruce H. Pomeranz, principal investigator and a neuroscience professor at the University of Toronto, headed one study that revealed how more than 100,000 Americans are killed by pharmaceutical drugs every year and some 21 million are seriously harmed ... These are the same doctors, within the same cartel-controlled medical industry, that condemn alternative therapies as dangerous quackery!
There's nothing to say that live, human experiments are not occuring in or being planned for Canada.  Meanwhile, the government ruthlessly disallows experimentation with hemp.  Why?  Apparently because it's free!

Watch this all the way through - Run from the Cure: The Rick Simpson Story - and I guarantee that if you ever get cancer you're going to tell the Easter Bunny and Santa both that all you want for the holidays is a basket of hemp leaves and instructions on how to turn it into healing oil. (Thanks to Barb for the Simpson link)

5)  This next egg is a bit messy, but it's the Surprise Egg.

Apparently, the Jewish Defence League of Canada is suing the Canadian Arab Federation for defamation (CJNews)

They posted an SPHR item that quoted the FBI as saying the JDL is a terrorist organization.

Surprise! The Anti-Defamation League concurs with SPHR!  (Thanks to Beesting for the ADL link.)

6)  Here's an Easter Egg I never cease to enjoy.  It's uplifting and contains the whole essence of resurrection.  If you haven't already experienced it, type about:mozilla into the address bar of your Firefox browser and hit Enter.
