Shape Shifters in our Midst

Ooh, Friday the 13th has fallen on Sunday this month.  No big deal; the world has been upside down for some time now anyway.  It's only an illusion that it's straight up; modern PR tactics and the media have taken care of that.
Everyone from politicians to cops to Ma Bell to the blessed pope are into shaping your perceptions of them and their agendae.

(By the way, I've finally begun to read David Icke's book "Children of the Matrix", which is already changing my perspective on ancient history and has given plausible answers to a few nagging questions - although my innate skepticism is so far still operating regarding the "interdimensional race" - but today I'll concentrate on the here and now and how the media do their best to alter it.)

First, check out the link provided by John in the Reader Comments section to see how Petie MacKay has regurgitated Canada's rewritten history in Afghanistan.

Next, there's a Google video that shows a Calgary police officer kicking a passive vagrant and/or drug user down a flight of stairs.  That's been more or less confirmed by Canwest but also mitigated by the unsubstantiated image of a drug-ridden neighbourhood, and the "admission" of the store owner whose surveillance camera caught the police action that he sold crack pipes - as if this were a crime.  (Crack pipes are given away free in many enlightened centres to prevent the spread of HIV.)

The Edmonton Sun was also very quick to put out an article entitled: "Cop job no fun" when another Calgary officer shot a man in the leg.  (There is no video to prove that the assailant acted without provocation.)

The reality is that the police have no excuse for violence.  They are the most protected individuals you're ever going to meet, whether they need to be or not.  They are better protected than our soldiers in Afghanistan who are in far greater danger.  They are certainly better protected than employees of "mental health" facilities, who somehow find ways to restrain out of control patients without hurting them.

Montebello is an excellent example.  Where there was only the remotest chance of public violence, the police geared up as if for a bloody battle.  In cases where they're only protected by vests and guns, you can be sure they know they're in an even less threatening environment.

And that's confirmed by the final paragraphs of the "No fun" article:
“I’ve done most of the retirements for the guys over the last three years and I’ve talked to many of them who have never had to draw their gun and they’re quite proud of that fact, not because they wouldn’t do it, but because they weren’t put in that situation.”
Yet the headline screams pity the poor cop in the hope that's all that will be remembered, as the media works to create the perception of extreme danger in the streets, paving the way for acceptance of increased suppression of dissent as the wheels of fascism roll on over us.

Here's another well-known untruth: Safe injection sites for drug users only encourage drug use.  Alleged criminal Larry O'Brien, for instance, will tell you that, but he's working for Harper's plan to fill future privatized prisons.   Not wanted are the facts from a Federal study:
"... the opening of INSITE was associated with a 30% increase in detoxification service use and a subsequent increase in rates of initiation of long-term addiction treatment ..."
Moving on:  Two headlines:

Tories hold on to poll lead (Canwest)
and
Conservatives widen lead in poll (Reuters)

Sounds good for the Allcons, doesn't it?  But the reality is that a whopping 65% of Canadians do not want the Harper bunch running this country!  Unfortunately, 30% hope and pray that the Liberals are a viable alternative, and they might have been were they still capable of forming a coalition with the NDP and Greens, who have moved up a bit in the polls.  But a vote for the shape-shifted, right leaning Liberals now means that the US agenda for Canada will proceed regardless of whether Dion or Harper is named PM.  And that's the truth. Pfttttttttttttt!

And it's patently obvious that the next US election will produce more of the same.  Just let a presidential candidate slip and accidentally tell the truth and along will come a FOX to force some rapid shape shifting upon him:
Obama “Deeply Regrets” Words — IF They Offended ... economic bitterness leads working class Pennsylvanians to cling to God, Guns, and Anti-Immigrant fervor
And then there's Traffic Shaping a la Bell
Ma Bell's maternal instincts appear to have run amok. "Throttling" is something Homer Simpson would do, isn't it?  "Why you little... [steps towards Bart]".  But then charging more for less is all the rage nowadays, and causing rage too.

Apparently, Canada is morphing into
a nation of rage-aholics - but over the most trivial things.  If only it could be bottled and tossed like a molatov cocktail onto the floor of Parliament to wake up those sods to how they're wrecking this country.

And now for the comic relief:
Pope Benedict's U.S. Visit to Reshape Image - to a softer, more charming figure.

I rest my case.
