Never Before: An Open Letter to the Voters in the Portage-Lisgar, Manitoba By-election

Never Before: An Open Letter to the Voters
in the Portage-Lisgar, Manitoba By-election

June 16, 2023

Dear Portage-Lisgar Voters,

I write to you from British Columbia as a 76 year old Canadian-born citizen, father of 4 and grandfather to 8. My purpose in doing so is to try and convince you to vote for Maxime Bernier the Leader of the People’s Party of Canada in next Monday’s Portage-Lisgar by-election on June 19th, 2023.

I’ve been living in B.C since 1957 but was born into a farming family on the eastern border of Saskatchewan near Togo back in 1947 about 200 miles NW of Winkler so in that sense we were practically neighbours back then. 🙂

Over the course of my lifetime I’ve witnessed all the political/social/economic changes that have occurred in our now beleaguered country and to say the least, never before in the history of our nation since the BNA Act of 1867 has Canada had to face the imminent loss of its national sovereignty along with all the fundamental rights and freedoms it has fought so hard to gain in order to remain “Strong and Free”.

As conscientious and caring Canadians we who have been witnessing the events of the past half century and longer are well aware there is now an open, acknowledged conspiracy on the part of the world’s power brokers to extinguish the basic rights and freedoms of citizens everywhere; not only to extinguish but to exacerbate at the same time, unnatural and perverted acts which are presently destroying the lives of future generations and putting at risk the very original purpose of Providence itself.

Basically there are two versions of the present political narrative afoot: one broadcast to the world on a 24/7 basis via the legacy or mainstream media (msm) created, owned and controlled by the international globalist elites and the other via the world wide web through social media outlets such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other electronic formats. These two fundamental forms of communication compromise the yin and the yang of all our interactions amongst each other as human beings.

That said I want to get down to the nitty gritty of “Never Before” and see whether somewhere, amid the dark and sinister clouds that are quickly gathering over our nation, there might be found a ray of hope which holds promise of stemming the present tide of infamy, deception and censorship that’s now threatening our very existence not only as an independent country but even so far as a species upon Mother Earth.

A Trinity of Trouble

From a political perspective Canadian voters are facing a major conundrum in terms of differentiating fact from fiction when it comes to believing the words and actions of those “Leaders” of the legacy parties the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Greens. Together they comprise what’s been nicknamed “The Uniparty”. The rhetoric of all three is coming on fast and furious as we approach that fatal day when voters across the nation will have to decide who is who and who, upon gaining power, will address and remedy all the present crises that are becoming more openly grotesque and disquieting with each passing day. Allow me to present a short list of said grievances which “the people” are becoming increasingly alarmed by:

  • World Economic Forum (WEF) influence on Canadian Politicians
  • COVID-19 Scamdemic of 2000
  • Government Lockdowns
  • mRNA Vaccinations
  • Vaxed versus Unvaxed
  • Vaccine Passports
  • Forced lay offs of Unvaxed Nurses/Healthcare Workers
  • Sudden Death Occurrences related to said bio-weapons
  • Transgenderism & the 2SLGBTQI+ agenda
  • Stabbing & Killing by Transgendered
  • Transgendering Canada’s Military
  • Liberal/Trudeau/Conservative/Poilievre Promotion of Drag Queen camps
  • Grooming of little children by Transgendered
  • Mass Immigration
  • Far Left Wokism
  • Trudeau’s Attack on Legal Gun Owners
  • Liberal Censorship Law C-11
  • Liberal collusion with China
  • Inflation, Debt & Unfair Equalization
  • Liberal Climate Change agenda
  • 3 party Liberal/Conservative/NDP support for Ukraine and Zelensky
  • Hate Crime laws in Canada’s Criminal Code
  • Disregard for Canadian Constitution
  • Globalism
  • World Health Organization (WHO)
  • United Nations Organization (UNO)
  • Truckers Convoy to Ottawa in 2022
  • Trudeau’s Emergency Order
  • Residential School Disinformation
  • Anti-White, Anti-Christian agendas

It is practically self-evident (or ought to be) that given the past 60 years since the days of PM John G. Diefenbaker and his Bill of Rights Canada’s identity and sovereignty have suffered massive assaults by foreign organizations like the UNO, WEF, WHO and NATO. The Liberal Party, buttressed and blessed by the NDP, plus the Conservative Party under Harper and now Pierre Poilievre, have all sacrificed the nation’s sovereignty and dignity on the alter of Globalism in favour of an International agenda that precludes the rights and freedoms of the common people of Canada.

What Canadians now face is a dark future fraught with increasing turmoil, sickness, confusion, poverty, perversion and lack of principles with nowhere to turn to when it comes to the political platforms of all the major federal parties. That leaves “the people” caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place unless…unless…unless…they wake up to the realization that it is truly time to take a leap of faith and give the only other federal political party, the People’s Party of Canada, a chance to turn the ship of state around by electing the PPC’s Leader Maxime Bernier in your riding and then into the House of Commons where his voice, the voice of the People, will finally be heard.

All this said it therefore behooves the voters of Portage-Lisgar to give the people of Canada a chance by voting for the one and only candidate whose platform addresses all of the list of grievances listed above that the Canadian voters want to have resolved. The fate of our nation now lies in your hands. That one ray of hope is the People’s Party of Canada. Please do the right thing and vote for Max Bernier PPC on June 19th.

Sincerely,

Arthur Topham

Vote Purple for the People of Canada!

Arthur,

As you know, I am running as the PPC candidate in the upcoming Portage—Lisgar by-election.

I am going to do everything it takes to win. Pull out all the stops.

Because this is more than just a by-election. It’s about the future of our country.

This situation reminds me a lot of the Reform Party.

The Reform Party first entered Parliament in 1989 when they won a single seat in a by-election.

In the subsequent general election in 1993, 51 more MPs were sent to Ottawa. The following election saw them become the official opposition.

All the populist-conservative Reform Party needed was a foothold into Parliament, a single seat, and then the floodgates opened.

Sounds familiar?

The PPC will pick up the torch from the Reform Party, and it starts right here in Portage—Lisgar.

And we learned from the mistakes of the Reform Party.

We will never compromise our values. We won’t merge with a corrupt party. We will fight until we win and restore sanity in this country.

This by-election is a special opportunity. The start of something big.

This is how we start to take our country back from the elites and corrupt globalist politicians currently in charge.

To show the political establishment that we reject their perverted and authoritarian vision of the future.

To stand up for Canadian values and Canadian identity.

But I need your help to win this election and start turning Parliament Purple.

Pitch in $10 today to help start the political revolution in Canada.

Thank you,
-Max

MAX BERNIER & THE PPC NEED 342 COURAGEOUS CANADIAN PATRIOTS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE

[EDITOR’S NOTE: The time has come for all those patriotic, freedom-loving Canadians who now realize there’s only ONE federal party to vote for if they wish to take back Canada from the NWO criminal cartel to get up off their complacent knees, stand up strong and free and put their collective shoulders to the wheel.

Common sense tells us that to attempt, once again, to replace the Liberals with the Conservatives or the NDP would be a most unfortunate and futile endeavor on the part of Canadians who truly want to see real and lasting changes come about for this beleaguered nation.

Speaking of ‘common sense’ reminds one of the writings of America’s Godfather, Thomas Paine, who, in his pamphlet Crisis, written prior to the war for Independence in an effort to unite the patriots, had the following to say:

“These are times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

Were I twenty years younger I would welcome the opportunity to stand as a PPC candidate and be a part of Max Bernier’s People Party of Canada. I’ve ‘been there done that’ in the past and know just how challenging such an endeavor is. Nonetheless, I too will be doing everything I can to assist in this vital effort on other levels.

Are there 342 dedicated Canadians out there who will step up to the plate in a united effort to save Canada from the throes and woes that the NWO psychopaths have planned for us? Time will tell but the least that one might do would be to share this important message from Max Bernier with your friends and neighbours in order to get the word out.]

Arthur,

I need 342 courageous Canadian patriots to step up.

I am working on building my team for the next election.

Selecting candidates for every riding in the country. I need courageous leaders willing to stand by my side and spread our message in their communities so we can succeed in the next election and start getting Canada back on track.

I am often asked, “How did things get this bad?”

It’s because over the last 50 or so years, leftists have worked diligently to take over every aspect of our society.

Not just municipal, provincial, and federal governments. They’ve taken over schools, universities, and school boards. Charities, churches, and courts. Cultural institutions like television networks and media companies. Not to mention bureaucracies at every level.

Once they take on these positions, these leftists are unafraid to push their political philosophy through their work.

The result has been complete dominance of the leftist worldview, not only in government but through our culture as well. People hardly understand what it means to be conservative anymore.

This cultural dominance of the left acts as a backstop politically. If so-called “Conservatives” are lucky enough to get elected, they’ve typically watered down their beliefs to the point where they’re hardly different from the left!

This explains the corruption of the fake Conservative Party here in Canada. They have submitted to the fact that the left dominates society and instead of working to change that, they work within the left’s framing.

So you’re probably wondering, “What’s the solution?”

I’m reminded of a quote generally attributed to Sir Edmund Burke.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The fatal flaw of small-c conservatives like you and me is we’re individualist by nature, and we mostly care about our immediate communities.

Typically we want to be left alone so we can raise our families, work our jobs, and get involved in charities, religious or community groups that we care about.

But this has left a vacuum in the larger society that the left has taken full advantage of.

So we need good men and women to start getting involved. To reclaim our governments, schools, and cultural institutions.

That’s why I started the PPC. I knew from working inside the CPC that it was a lost cause, and true conservatives needed a new party to start taking back Canadian society from misguided leftists.

For the last month and a half I have been working on building our team of PPC candidates to represent the Party in the next election.

We’ve received interest from some incredible applicants so far, and I am confident that our next slate of candidates will be our best ever!

That being said, there are still more than 100 ridings we have not received applications for.

If you think you’d make a great PPC Candidate, submit an application today!

But Arthur, I won’t lie to you, being a PPC Candidate isn’t easy. We’re the underdogs and the deck is stacked against us.

The left is terrified of having to deal with a true conservative opposition with a distinct vision for this country. They prefer Pierre Poilievre and his weak, unprincipled CPC.

They’ll weaponize their institutional power against you—against us. The political establishment, the corporate media, and professional activists, will work in tandem to try and cancel you.

Being a PPC candidate isn’t easy, but it is empowering.

To finally take off the shackles of the UniParty and to fight for what you truly believe in. To advocate for ideas that will make this country a better place.

It’s worth the adversity. We can’t run from this fight, it will only make matters worse.

We must take this battle head on! For the sake of our children and grandchildren!

Apply today to join the fight for Canada’s future: www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/apply

The application window closes on Sunday, May 7th.

Cheers,

-Max

Open letter to Premier David Eby on the reinstatement of BC’s laid off nurses

Open letter to Premier David Eby on the reinstatement of BC’s laid off nurses

By Arthur Topham

Editor – CaribooSentinel.ca

Dear Premier David Eby, et al,

Your stubborn refusal to face the reality that the Covid-19 scamdemic is DEAD and over with has to end. Your government’s unwarranted mis-treatment of our dedicated nurses who the NDP kicked out of the hospitals for refusing to take the killer jab also MUST end and these trained professionals be reinstated and compensated for loss of wages plus all the concomitant negative results of your government’s ill-conceived actions. Such treatment of BC’s nursing profession by you and your cohorts is more akin to the actions of communist nations like China not so-called Democratic nations like Canada.

Given all your past credits for having been the Executive Director of the BC Civil Liberties Association and an award-winning human rights lawyer all of those accomplishments fly in the face of such draconian, mean-spirited treatment of the nurses here in B.C.

I was personally in communication with you a few years back when the Ontario Civil Liberties Association was standing up for me during my own litigation over the issue of freedom of speech in Canada when we were requesting support from the BC Civil Liberties Association. As I recall trying to get you onboard was like pulling teeth with vice-grips.

For all the rhetoric and fanfare that the office of Premier provides you none of that matters in the long run. What truly matters is that you get your shit together and accept the fact that this heinous scamdemic you, Horgan, Henry, Hix and the rest of the NDP party have been colluding in with the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, Fauci and all the rest of the global elite psychopaths has to cease and common sense once again guide you all.

The party’s over David. The world is on to your scheming on behalf of those who want to murder the majority of humanity and turn the rest into genetically modified organisms. Best you make things right and reinstating the unemployed nurses would be a good first step on the road back to justice and freedom.

For Truth and Justice,

Arthur Topham

PRE-CRIME IS HERE: Proposed Canadian Bill C-36 criminalizes THINKING about posting “hate” speech

[EDITOR’S NOTE: The issue of freedom of speech or freedom of expression is one that I hold to be THE MOST SACROSANCT freedoms that the Creator bestowed upon Humanity. Without it no individual or nation can expect to retain its other freedoms. When ANY government body assumes the right to prevent the individual from expressing their views, ideas or opinions on any subject that government forfits the right to exist and ought to be removed from whatever power it might possess; power, of course, bestowed up it by the people.

As some readers may already be aware I have personally been fighting for the right to freedom of speech/expression since the year 2007 when vested, foreign interest lobbyists here in Canada first attacked me and my former website RadicalPress[.]com by filing a formal complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission alleging that I had committed a “Hate Crime” under the then Sec. 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Code.

That particular piece of specious legislation was finally laid to rest back in 2012 when it was repealed by the former Conservative government of PM Stephen Harper after many years of lobbying by numerous individuals and organizations who deemed it to be unconstitutional. At the time it was repealed my case was still in the “Tribunal” stage and was stayed but that didn’t stop the complainants who then turned around and used Sec. 319(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada to lay a second (and identical) complaint against me and my website. In May of 2012 I was arrested, jailed, all of my computers and electronic files “seized”, all of my firearms “seized” and thus began a legal process against me that TO THIS DAY is still ongoing after 15 years!

So if anyone tries to tell you that free speech ought to have limitations placed upon it be very wary of them. Canada already had and continues to have laws in place that deal with libel and defamation so there’s no need whatsoever for these “Hate Crime” laws which only end up being exploited by the NWO forces who were able to influence the politicians into placing them in Canada’s judicial system in order to cover their own asses when the fecal matter finally hits the fan, which by all indications, won’t be long in coming.

As a footnote I might add that it costs the complainant bugger all to lay a complaint against anyone. But it costs the Canadian taxpayer millions in court costs and police costs to prosecute just one individual. In my own case I’ve estimated that thus far the taxpayers of Canada have forked over one and a half million dollars into destroying my website and prohibiting me from naming the guilty party online.]

PRE-CRIME IS HERE: Proposed Canadian Bill C-36 criminalizes THINKING about posting “hate” speech

By PatriotRising
March 12, 2022

A new proposed bill recently presented to the Canadian parliament would allow people to report so-called “hate speech” online before it even happens.

The proposed “hate speech” law, Bill C-36, allows Canadians to take another person to court if they feel like they might post something hateful online.

According to the proposed legislation, Canadians will be encouraged to report anybody to the authorities. Those who have had reports filed against them will then be taken to court and potentially penalized before they even post any so-called “hate speech” online if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that they have hateful motives.

“A person may, with the Attorney General’s consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit (a) an offense under section 318 [pushing or advocating for genocide] or subsection 318 [inciting or promoting hate],” reads the proposed bill.

“That’s right. A person can get in trouble for something they are suspected of intending to post … online,” wrote David Fiorazo for Harbingers Daily.

The bill makes amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code to create a recognizance for people accused of hate propaganda or hate crimes. It also amends the code to define “hatred” for the purposes of the two aforementioned potential accusations against people.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Canadian Human Rights Act, passed in 1977 and last amended in 2017, to codify into law that communicating hate speech online is a “discriminatory practice.” In this instance, hate speech is defined as any speech that is supposedly “likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

The bill tasks the Canadian Human Rights Commission to handle complaints of hate speech or intent to communicate hate speech online and it authorizes the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to adjudicate these complaints.

Canadian parliament wants to pass laws that prevent dissent

The introduction of Bill C-36 is just the first salvo in a series of new proposed legislation intended to curtail the expression of dissent online and in public.

Bill C-36, which was first read in late June 2021, died in parliament when the September election was called. It was reintroduced this year in response to the anti-Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) mandate Freedom Convoys. If passed, penalties for breaching Bill C-36 include up to four years in prison.

Another bill designed to curtail dissent, Bill C-229, was recently tabled by left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) member of parliament Peter Julian. Like C-36, C-229 amends the Criminal Code to explicitly ban “symbols of hate.”

Julian and the entirety of the NDP claim Bill C-229 would only be used to target symbols like the insignia of the Ku Klux Klan and the swastika. But they have also expressed their intention to ban the use of the Confederate flag. This signals the desire of the NDP to ban any symbol of dissent that it wants to get rid of.

If passed, the penalty for flying the Confederate flag or any other symbol the government designates to be hateful includes a prison sentence of up to two years.

Fortunately, the future of these bills remains uncertain. Political analysts have noted that C-36 was heavily criticized when it was first presented to parliament last year due to its difficulty to enforce and its attacks on freedom of speech.

Lulu Cheng Meservy, vice president of communications for the online blogging platform Substack, also pointed out that there were several “alarming aspects” to C-36.

These include the bill’s fuzzy and circular definition of what speech is considered “hateful,” and the fact that it encourages citizens to basically act as snitches for the government.

Finally, the fact that it wants to create a precedent in law for punishing people for something they have not actually done yet is a grave cause for concern.

The New Kulaks

The New Kulaks

by

Gerry T. Neal

(Expurgated for Legal Reasons by the Editor) 

The “experts” that our governments and the media have been insisting that we blindly trust for almost two years are now telling us that due to the Delta and other variants herd immunity to the bat flu is either unattainable or requires a much higher percentage of the population to have been immunized than was the case with the original strain of the virus. They are also telling us that the fourth wave of the bat flu, the one we are said to be experiencing at the present, is driven by the Delta variant and that those who, for one reason or another, have exercised their right to reject the vaccine either in full or in part – for those who have had one shot but opted out of a second, or in some jurisdictions have had two but have opted out of a third, for whatever the reason, including having had a bad reaction to the first shot or two, are categorized under the broad “unvaccinated” umbrella by those who think that it is our ethical duty to take as many shots as the government’s health mandarins say we should take – are responsible for this wave, which they have dubbed a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”.

This, however, is a case of the guilty pointing the finger at the innocent.

Think about what they are now claiming. If herd immunity was attainable with the original virus if 70-80% of the population were immunized but with the Greek letter variants it requires 90% or higher if it is attainable at all, then the blame for the current situation, however dire it actually is – and it is probably not even remotely close to being as dire as is being claimed because the media, the medical establishment, and the governments have grossly exaggerated the threat of this disease from the moment the World Health Organization declared a pandemic – belongs entirely to those who insisted upon the “flatten the curve” strategy. Flattening the curve, which required massive government overreach and the dangerous suspension of everyone’s most basic human, civil, and constitutional rights and freedoms, prolonged the life of the original virus, giving it the opportunity to produce these new, reportedly more contagious, mutations. It was the public health orders themselves – not people resisting the orders and standing up for their and others’ rights and freedoms – that gave us the variants. It would have been far better to have taken measures to protect only the portion of the population that was most at risk, while letting the virus freely circulate through the rest of the population to whom it posed minimal risk, so that herd immunity could have been achieved the natural way and at the lower threshold while it was still available. Natural immunity, as even the “experts” now acknowledge, is superior to what the vaccines offer if this can be called immunity at all seeing as it conspicuously lacks the prophylactic aspect that traditionally defined the immunity granted by vaccines for other diseases. When you took the smallpox or the polio vaccine, you did so in order that you would not get smallpox or polio.  When you take the bat flu vaccine, purportedly, it reduces the severity of the bat flu so that you are far less likely to be hospitalized or to die from it.   When we consider that for those outside of the most-at-risk categories, the likelihood of being hospitalized due to the bat flu is already quite low and the likelihood of dying from it is lower yet, being a fraction of a percentage point, the so-called “immunity” the vaccines impart is not very impressive, making the heavy-handed insistence that everyone must take the jab all the more irrational.

For all the hype about the supposed “novelty” of the bat flu virus, it is now quite apparent that its waves come and go in a very familiar pattern.  The first wave, which started in China late in 2019, hit the rest of the world early in 2020 during the winter of 2019-2020 and ebbed as we went into spring.  With the onset of fall in 2020 the second wave began and the third wave took place in the winter of 2020-2021.  It once again waned as we entered spring of 2021, and the current fourth wave is taking place as summer of 2021 moves into fall of 2021.  Each wave of the bat flu, in other words, has occurred in the times of the year when the common cold and the seasonal flu ordinarily circulate, just as the lulls correspond with those of the cold and flu, the big one being in the summer.  How many more waves do we have to have in which this pattern repeats itself before we acknowledge that this is the nature of the bat flu, that it comes and goes in the same way and the same times as the cold and flu, compared to which it may very well be worse in the sense that the symptoms, if you get hit by a hard case of it, are much nastier, but to which it is far closer than to Ebola, the Black Death, or the apocalyptic superflu from Stephen King’s The Stand?

The politicians, the public health mandarins and their army of “experts”, and the mass media fear pornographers do not want us to acknowledge this because the moment we do the twin lies they have been bombarding us with will lose all their hold upon us and become completely and totally unbelievable.   The first of these lies is when they take credit for the natural waning of each wave of the virus by attributing it to their harsh, unjust, and unconstitutional public health orders involving the suspension of all of our most basic freedoms and rights.    The second of these lies is when they blame the onset of the next wave of the virus at the time of year colds and flus always spread on the actions of the public or some segment of the public.

It is the second of these lies with which we are concerned here.

Last fall, as the second wave was beginning, our governments blamed the wave on those who were disobeying public health orders by getting together socially with people from outside their households, not wearing masks, and/or especially exercising their constitutional right to protest against government actions that negatively impact them, in this case, obviously, the public health measures.   There was an alternative form of finger-pointing on the part of some progressives in the media, who put the blame on the governments themselves for “re-opening too early”. This form of “dissent” was tolerated respectfully by the governments, a marked contrast with how they responded to those who protested that they could not possibly have re-opened too early because they should never have locked down to begin with since lockdowns are an unacceptable way of dealing with a pandemic being incredibly destructive and inherently tyrannical. Although there was much more truth to what the latter dissenters were saying it was these, rather than the former group, that the governments demonized and blamed for the rising numbers of infections.  The governments and other lockdown supporters attempted to justify this finger-pointing by saying that the lockdown protestors, whom they insisted upon calling “anti-mask protestors” so as to make their grievances seem petty by focusing on what was widely considered to be the least burdensome of the pandemic measures, were endangering the public by gathering to protest outdoors.  That their arguments were worthless is demonstrated by how they had made no such objections to the much larger racist hate rallies held by anti-white hate groups masquerading under banal euphemisms earlier in the year and, indeed, openly encouraged and supported these even though they had a tendency to degenerate into lawless, anarchical, rioting and looting that was absent from the genuinely peaceful protests of the lockdown opponents.

With the deployment of the rapidly developed vaccines that are still a couple of years away from the completion of their clinical trials under emergency authorization government public health policy has shifted towards getting as many people vaccinated as possible, with a goal of universal vaccination. At the same time, the finger-pointing has shifted towards the unvaccinated or, to be more precise, those who have not received however many shots the public health experts in their jurisdiction deem to be necessary at any given moment. This blaming of the unvaccinated is both a deflection from the grossly unethical means being taken to coerce people to surrender their freedom of choice and right to informed consent with regards to receiving these vaccines and is itself part of those means.

Perhaps “shifted” is not the best word to describe this change in the finger-pointing.   While the less-than-fully-vaccinated are being blamed as a whole for the Delta wave the blaming is particularly acrimonious for those who both have not been sufficiently vaccinated to satisfy the government and who have been protesting the public health abuses of our constitutional rights and freedoms the latest of which is the establishment of a system of segregation based upon vaccine choice in which society and the economy are fully or almost fully re-opened to those who comply with the order to “show your papers” while everyone else is put back in lockdown.  The CBC and the privately owned media, both progressive and mainstream “conservative” have gone out of their way to vilify such people, as have the provincial premiers and their public health mandarins whose vaccine passport system is obviously punitive in nature. The biggest vilifier of all has been the Prime Minister. In his campaign leading up to the recent Dominion election he was unable to speak about the “anti-vaxxers” – a term, which until quite recently, indeed, until the very eve of this pandemic, designated supporters of holistic medicine who object to all vaccination on principle and who were usually to be found among the kind of tree-hugging, hippy-dippy, types who support the Green Party, NDP, or the Prime Minister’s own party – without sounding like he was speaking about the [Censored. Ed.] to an audience at Nuremberg in the late 1930s.

What we are seeing here is not a new phenomenon. When the ancient Greek city-states were faced with a crisis beyond human ability to control – such as a plague – they would choose someone, generally of the lowest possible social standing such as a criminal, slave or a cripple, and, after ritually elevating him to the highest social standing, would either execute him, if he was a criminal, or beat him and drive him out of their society, in either case as a symbolic sacrifice to avert disaster and save the community. This person was called the φαρμακός, a word that also meant “sorcerer”, “poisoner” or “magician”, although there is no obvious connection between this meaning and the usage we have been discussing and lexicographers often treat them as being homonyms.  In some city-states this came to be practices as a ritual on a set day every year whether there was a looming disaster or not.   In Athens, for example, the two ugliest men in the city were chosen for this treatment on the first day of Thargelia, the annual festival of Apollo and Artemis.   Parallels to this can be found in almost every ancient culture as can the related practice of offering animal sacrifices.   Indeed, the practice is generally called scapegoating, from the word used in the English Bible to refer to the literal goat over which the High Priest would confess the sins of the people on the Day of Atonement each year, symbolically transferring the guilt to the goat, which would then be taken out into the wilderness and sent to Azazel, a word of disputed meaning generally taken to refer either to a place in the desert, an evil spirit who dwelled there, or both.   

Anthropologists have, of course, long discussed the origins and significance of this phenomenon. While going into this at great length is far beyond the scope of this essay, a well-known summation of the discussion can be found in Violence and the Sacred (1977) by French-American scholar René Girard as can the author’s own theory on the subject. Later in his Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (1987), Girard, a practicing Roman Catholic, returned to his theory and discussed how it related to Christian theology and to contemporary expressions of violence. He put forward an interpretation of the Atonement that could in one aspect be understood as the opposite of the traditional orthodox interpretation. While there have been numerous competing theories as to how the Atonement works, in traditional Christian orthodoxy the relationship between the Atonement and the Old Testament sacrificial system was understood to be this:  the former was the final Sacrifice to end all sacrifices, and the latter were God ordained types of Christ’s final Sacrifice. By contrast, Girard argued that sacrifices were not something instituted by God but arose out of man’s violent nature. When division arose in primitive communities, peace was restored through the scapegoat mechanism, whereby both sides joined in placing the blame on a designated victim who was then executed or banished, and built their renewed unity upon the myth of the victim’s guilt and punishment. The sacrificial system was the ritual institutionalization of this practice. As societies became more civilized the institution was made more humane by substituting animals for people. The Atonement, Girard, argued, was not the ultimate sacrifice but rather a sort of anti-sacrifice. It was not designed, he said, to satisfy the demands of God Who has no need for sacrificial victims, but to save mankind from his own violent nature as manifested in the scapegoat mechanism and sacrificial system.  In the Atonement God provided bloodthirsty man with One Final Victim. That Victim offered to His immediate persecutors and by extension all of sinful mankind forgiveness and peace based not upon a myth about His guilt but upon the acknowledgement of the truth of His Innocence and the confession of man’s own guilt.

What is most relevant to this discussion, however, is not how Girard’s understanding of the Atonement contrasts with the more traditional orthodox view, but where both agree – that it brought an end to the efficacy of all other scapegoats and sacrifices.  This does not mean that the practice ceased but that it no longer works. One implication of this pertains to the choice that the Gospel offers mankind. If man rejects the peace and forgiveness based upon the truth of the Innocent Victim offered in the Gospel, “there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins” [Censored. Ed.], and so his violence, which the scapegoat mechanism/sacrificial system can no longer satisfy, increases.  This means that in a post-Christian society the sacrificial and scapegoating aspect of human violence would reassert itself with a vengeance.  

Interestingly, Girard interpreted the New Testament Apocalyptic passages, both those of the actual book of Revelation and those found in the words of Jesus in the Gospels, that speak of disasters, calamities and destruction to fall upon mankind in the Last Days, as describing precisely this, the self-inflicted wounds of a mankind that has turned its back on the peace of the Gospel rather than the wrath of God (see the extended discussion of this in the second chapter entitled “A Non-Sacrificial Reading of the Gospel Text” of Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World).   Certainly the twentieth century, in which the transformation of Christendom into secular, post-Christian, “Western Civilization” that was the main project of the liberalism of the Modern Age came to its completion, saw a particularly ugly resurgence of scapegoating on the part of secular, totalitarian regimes.

I alluded earlier to one such example.  Another example can be found in the early history of the Soviet Union and this is for many reasons a closer analogy to what we are seeing today.    When the Bolsheviks, a terrorist organization of mostly non-(ethnic)-Russians who hated the Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian Tsar, and the Russian people, most likely in that order, exploited the vacuum created earlier in 1917 when republicans forced the abdication of Russia’s legitimate monarch in order to seize power for themselves and form the totalitarian terror state known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, they created their own scapegoat. 

Kulak, which is the Russian word for “fist”, was a derogatory term applied with the sense of “tight-fisted”, i.e., miserly, grasping, and mean to peasant farmers who had become slightly better off than other members of their own class, owning more than eight acres of land and being able to hire other peasants as workers.   Clearly this was a loosely defined, largely artificial, category, enabling the Bolsheviks to hurl it as a term of abuse against pretty much any peasant they wanted. The scapegoating of the kulaks began early in the Bolshevik Revolution when the Bolsheviks sought to unify the other peasants in support of their regime by demonizing and vilifying those of whom they were already envious and confiscating their land.    After Stalin became the Soviet dictator in 1924 he devised a series of five-year plans aimed at the rapid industrialization and centralization of what had up to then been a largely feudal-agrarian economy.   In the first of these, from 1928 to 1932, Stalin announced his intention to liquidate the kulaks and while this worded in such a way as to suggest that it was their identity as a class rather than the actual people who made up the class that was to be eliminated, that class identity, as we have seen, was already largely a fiction imposed upon them by the Bolsheviks and the actions taken by Stalin – the completion of the confiscation of kulak property, the outright murder of many of them and the placing of the rest in labour camps either in their own home districts or in desolate places like Siberia, clearly targeted the kulaks as people rather than as a class.    The history of Stalin’s liquidation of the kulaks as well as that of the Holodomor, the man-made famine he engineered against the Ukrainians, is well told and documented by Robert Conquest in his The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror Famine (1986).

“Anti-vaxxer”, like “kulak” is mostly a derogatory term used to demonize people.   The term itself ought to be less arbitrary than kulak.    Assigning someone to a class of greedy, parasitical, oppressors simply because he is fortunate enough to own a few more acres of land than his neighbour is quite arbitrary and obviously unjust.   Identifying someone as being opposed to vaccines on the basis of his own stated opposition to such is not arbitrary at all, although dehumanizing someone on this basis is just as unjust.   In practice, however, the “anti-vaxxer” label is used just as arbitrarily.   Look at all who have been turned into third-class citizens, denied access to all public spaces and businesses except those arbitrarily deemed “essential” by the public health officials, and whose livelihoods have been placed in jeopardy by the new vaccine mandates and passports.    While those who have not taken the bat flu shots because they reject all vaccines on principle are obviously included so are those who have had every vaccine from the mumps to smallpox to hepatitis that their physician recommended but have balked at taking these new vaccines, the first of their kind, before the clinical trials are completed.   So are people who took the first shot, had a very bad reaction to it, and decided that the risk of an even worse reaction to the second shot was too great in their instance.   So are people who came down with the disease, whose bodies’ natural immune system fought it off, who thereby gained an immunity that recent studies as well as common sense tell us is superior to that imparted by a vaccine that artificially produces a protein that is distinctive to the virus, and who for that reason decided that they didn’t need the vaccine.   There are countless legitimate reasons why people might not want to receive these inoculations and it is morally wrong – indeed, evil, would be a better word than wrong here – to bully such people into surrendering their bodily autonomy and their right to informed consent and to punish them for making what, however much people caught in the grip of the public health panic may wish to deny it, is a valid choice.    It is even more evil to demonize, vilify, and scapegoat them for standing up for their rights.   Ironically, those currently being demonized as “anti-vaxxers” by the Prime Minister and the provincial premiers include all who have been protesting against the vaccine passports and mandates, a number which presumably includes many who have had both of their shots and therefore are not even “unvaccinated” much less “anti-vaxxers” in any meaningful sense of the word, but who take a principled moral stand against governments mistreating people the way they have with these lockdowns, mask mandates, and now vaccine passports and mandates.

The Bolshevik scapegoating of the kulaks, and the as-we-speak scapegoating of the “anti-vaxxers” by all involved in the new world-wide medical-pharmaceutical tyranny, all demonstrate the truth of the implication discussed above of the Atonement’s abolition of the efficacy of sacrifices and the scapegoat mechanism, whether this is understood in the traditional orthodox way, as this writer is inclined to understand it, or in accordance with Girard’s interpretation. If people reject the peace and forgiveness offered in the Gospel and can no longer find it in the old sacrificial/scapegoat system the violence multiplies. In the ancient pre-Christian practices, the victims were singular or few in number (there were only two victims, for example, in the annual Thargelia in Athens). These modern examples of the scapegoating phenomenon involve huge numbers of victims.  The sought objective – societal peace and unity – is still the same as in ancient times, but it is unattainable by this method since scapegoating millions of people at a time can only produce division and not peace and unity.

The peace, forgiveness, and unity offered in the Gospel is still available, of course, although the enactors of the new medical tyranny seem determined to keep as many people as possible from hearing that offer. They have universally declared the churches where the Gospel is preached in Word and Sacrament to be “non-essential” ordering them to close at the first sniffle of the bat flu and leaving them closed longer after everything else re-opened, although the number of churches that willingly went along with this and even took to enthusiastically enforcing the medical tyranny themselves raises the question of whether anyone would have heard the Gospel in them had they remained open.  Which brings us back to what was briefly observed earlier about Girard’s interpretation of Apocalyptic passages as depicting the devastating destruction of human violence which the scapegoat mechanism can no longer contain when man has rejected the Gospel.   Perhaps it ought not to surprise us that throughout this public health panic the medical tyrants have behaved as if the Book of Revelation’s depiction of the beast who demands that all the world worship him rather than God and requires that they show their allegiance to him by taking his mark on their right hand or forehead and prevents them from buying and selling without such a display of allegiance had been written as a script for them to act out at this time.

Small Community of Lytton, BC Has One Person Dead and Three People Permanently Disabled Following Their First Dose of Experimental Moderna Gene Modification ‘Vaccine’

By 

QC Sentinel Reporter

Arthur Topham

April 10, 2021

Updated April 12, 2021

The small, historic community of Lytton, BC, located at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers where the Fraser Canyon begins wending its way westward down to Hope, has been devastated and alarmed by the severity of the Provincial NDP government’s controversial experimental gene therapy treatment (also referred to as the “Moderna vaccine”), now being given to ill-informed people across the province. 

In an OPEN LETTER to Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC Provincial Health Officer, from Dr Charles D. Hoffe of the Lytton Medical Clinic in Lytton, BC, some startling facts have been revealed about the unreliableness of this massive medical experiment with the health and well-being of the province’s citizenry. 

As the letter states, “The first dose of the Moderna vaccine has now been administered to some of my patients in the community of Lytton, BC. This began with the First Nations members of our community in mid-January, 2021. 900 doses have now been administered.”  

That blanket statement, in itself, is reflective of the province’s long-standing history of using First Nations people as possible guinea pigs to ascertain whether or not its untested gene therapy experiment will fly with the rest of province’s citizens. Given the results, as noted in the OPEN LETTER, it is abundantly self-evident that this irresponsible practise should be halted immediately.   

After outlining for Dr. Henry the results, arising from this exercise in futility, Dr. Hoffe goes on to state, “So in short, in our small community of Lytton, BC, we have one person dead, and three people who look as though they will be permanently disabled, following their first dose of the Moderna vaccine. The age of those affected ranges from 38 to 82 years of age.”

He then proceeds to ask Henry an additional 8 questions about the experimental vaccine, querying her about some extremely important issues. 

The fourth question states, “In stark contrast to the deleterious effects of this vaccine in our community, we have not had to give any medical care what-so-ever, to anyone with Covid-19.  So in our limited experience, this vaccine is quite clearly more dangerous than Covid-19.” (emphasis added. Ed.

In other words Lytton was doing just fine dealing with the manufactured “Covid-19” problem, until the politicians in the Rockpile at Victoria decided that they would go ahead with their own agenda of playing God with people’s lives by testing out a fake, untested vaccine on the people as a whole at the behest of its manufacturers Gates, Fauci & Co. of the World Health Organization.

It’s just one more classic case of bureaucrats and power-crazed politicians attempting to fix something that was never broke in the first place. As the letter graphically points out in question 6, “It must be emphasised, that these people were not sick people, being treated for some devastating disease. These were previously healthy people, who were offered an experimental therapy, with unknown long-term side-effects, to protect them against an illness that has the same mortality rate as the flu. Sadly, their lives have now been ruined.

Following the 8-pointed questions to the NDP’s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Hoffe draws further attention to the fact that these horrendous vaccine side effects are “going almost entirely unreported, by those responsible for the vaccine rollout.” In other words what we are seeing is yet further collusion between the government, the mainstream media, and the Big Pharma corporations all designed to keeping the truth about this crisis masked and hidden from the general public’s view. 

And finally, to top off all the apparent malfeasance surrounding this deadly experiment with human lives, the letter concludes by pointing out to Dr. Henry the fact that the “provincial vaccine injury reporting form, which was clearly designed for conventional vaccines, does not even have any place to report vaccine injuries of the nature and severity that we are seeing from this new mRNA therapy.” (emphasis added. Ed.) How convenient (and cunning).

In conclusion it bears going back to Dr. Hoffe’s 3rd question to Dr. Henry on Page 2 of his Open Letter wherein he states, “I anticipate that many more [side effects. Ed.] will follow, as the vaccine is rolled out. This was only phase one, and the first dose.”

This OPEN LETTER to Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC Provincial Health Officer from Dr. Charles D. Hoffe of the Lytton Medical Clinic, basically summarizes and emphasizes the dire need for people of the province to WAKE UP and SPEAK OUT and DEMAND of their elected representatives that this high risk, unpredictable, wild-card “experiment” on the citizens of BC be HALTED IMMEDIATELY! Let the latest flu season run its natural course; a move that will undoubtedly prove to be much more efficacious health-wise for the people, the economy and the province than anything we’ve seen thus far since this manufactured global plandemic was first foisted upon the world’s attention back in January of 2020.

Below is the verbatim text of the 2-page letter to Dr. Henry which was typed out for clarity and potential use by the writer along with images of the original.

Dr. Bonnie Henry,

British Columbia Provincial Health Officer

Ministry of Health

1515 Blanchard Street

Victoria, BC, V8W 3C9

Dear Dr. Henry,

The first dose of the Moderna vaccine has now been administered to some of my patients in the community of Lytton, BC. This began with the First Nations members of our community in mid-January, 2021. 900 doses have now been administered.

I have been quite alarmed at the high rate of serious side-effects from this novel treatment.

From this relatively small number of people vaccinated so far, we have had:

1. Numerous allergic reactions, with two cases of anaphylaxis.

2. One (presumed) vaccine induced sudden death, (in a 72 year old patient with COPD. This patient complained of being more short of breath continually after receiving the vaccine, and died very suddenly and unexpectedly on day 24, after the vaccine. He had no history of cardiovascular disease).

3. Three people with ongoing and disabling neurological deficits, with associated chronic pain, persisting for more than 10 weeks after their first vaccine. These neurological deficits include: continual and disabling dizziness, generalised or localized neuromuscular weakness, with or without sensory loss. The chronic pain in these patients is either generalised or regional, with or without headaches.

So in short, in our small community of Lytton, BC, we have one person dead, and three people who look as though they will be permanently disabled, following their first dose of the Moderna vaccine. The age of those affected ranges from 38 to 82 years of age.

So I have a couple of questions and comments:

1. Are these considered normal and acceptable long term side-effects for gene modification therapy? Judging by medical reports from around the world, our Lytton experience is not unusual.

2. Do you have any idea what disease processes may have been initiated, to be producing these ongoing neurological symptoms?

(Page 2)

3. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should treat the vaccine induced neurological weakness, the dizziness, the sensory loss, and the chronic pain syndromes in these people, or should they be all simply referred to a neurologist? I anticipate that many more will follow, as the vaccine is rolled out. This was only phase one, and the first dose.

4. In stark contrast to the deleterious effects of this vaccine in our community, we have not had to give any medical care what-so-ever, to anyone with Covid-19. So in our limited experience, this vaccine is quite clearly more dangerous than Covid-19.

5. I realize that every medical therapy has a risk-benefit ratio, and that serious disease calls for serious medicine. But we now know that the recovery rate of Covid-19, is similar to the seasonal flu, in every age category. Furthermore, it is well known that the side effects following a second shot, are significantly worse than the first. So the worst is still to come.

6. It must be emphasised, that these people were not sick people, being treated for some devastating disease. These were previously healthy people, who were offered an experimental therapy, with unknown long-term side-effects, to protect them against an illness that has the same mortality rate as the flu. Sadly, their lives have now been ruined.

7. It is normally considered a fundamental principal of medical ethics, to discontinue a clinical trial if significant harm is demonstrated from the treatment under investigation.

8. So my last question is this: Is it medically ethical to continue this vaccine rollout, in view of the severity of these life altering side-effects, after just the first shot? In Lytton, BC, we have an incidence of 1 in 225 of severe life altering side-effects, from this experimental gene modification therapy.

I have also noticed that these vaccine induced side effects are going almost entirely unreported, by those responsible for the vaccine rollout. I am aware that this is often a problem, with vaccines in general, and that delayed side-effects after vaccines, are sometimes labelled as being “coincidences”, as causality is often hard to prove. However, in view of the fact that this is an experimental treatment, with no long-term safety data, I think that perhaps this issue should be addressed too.

Furthermore I have noticed, that the provincial vaccine injury reporting form, which was clearly designed for conventional vaccines, does not even have any place to report vaccine injuries of the nature and severity that we are seeing from this new mRNA therapy.

It is now clearly apparent with medical evidence from around the world, that the side-effect profiles of the various gene modification therapies against Covid-19, have been vastly understated by their manufacturers, who were eager to prove their safety.

Thank you for attention to this critically urgent public health matter.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Charles Hoffe

Establishments that are noncompliant with plan requirements may face orders and fines, and possible referral to public health which may result in a closure order.

EPA order on masks in public indoor settings

As outlined in the EPA mask mandate order, masks are required for everyone in many public indoor settings. A face shield is not a substitute for a mask as it has an opening below the mouth.

There are exemptions for:

  • People with health conditions or with physical, cognitive or mental impairments who cannot wear one
  • People who cannot remove a mask on their own
  • Children under the age of 12
  • People who need to remove their masks to communicate due to another person’s hearing impairment

Masks are required in many indoor public settings and all retail stores. This includes:

  • Malls, shopping centres
  • Grocery stores
  • Airports
  • Coffee shops
  • On public transportation, in a taxi or ride-sharing vehicle
  • Places of worship
  • Libraries
  • Common areas of post-secondary institutions, office buildings, court houses (except court rooms), hospitals and hotels

  • Refuse to comply with the direction of an enforcement officer, including the direction to leave the space
  • Engage in abusive or belligerent behaviour

Masks at workplaces and shared living areas

It is strongly recommended that masks be worn in the following areas:

  • Common areas in apartment buildings and condos, including:
    • Elevators
    • Hallways
    • Lobbies
    • Stairwells
  • Shared indoor workplace spaces, including:
    • Elevators
    • Kitchens
    • Hallways
    • Break rooms

Travel advisory

At this time, all non-essential travel should be avoided. This includes travel into and out of B.C. and between regions of the province. For example:

  • Do not travel for a vacation
  • Do not travel to visit friends or family outside of your household or core bubble

Travel for essential reasons

Individual circumstances may affect whether a trip is considered essential or non-essential. Essential travel within B.C. includes:

  • Regular travel for work within your region
  • Travel for things like medical appointments and hospital visits

For example, if you live in Vancouver and work in Surrey you can continue to commute. 

If you need to travel for essential reasons, take the same health and safety precautions you do at home.

  • Wash your hands often
  • Practice safe distancing, 2 m
  • Travel only with yourself, household or core bubble
  • Stick to the outdoors whenever possible
  • Clean spaces often
  • Wear a mask in indoor spaces

First Nations communities

Many First Nations have declared a state of emergency for their communities and enacted COVID-19 community protection by-laws including travel bans for non-residents and non-essential visitors. It is important to respect these restrictions in addition to the province-wide travel advisory. 

Whistler Blackcomb closure

The Whistler Blackcomb ski resort is closed until April 19 at 11:59 pm.

Coming from outside of B.C.

At this time, people travelling to B.C. from another province or territory within Canada should only come for essential reasons. If you do travel, you are expected to follow the same travel guidelines as everyone else in B.C.

Enforcement

During a public health emergency under the Public Health Act, the PHO can make orders as needed. You must follow the orders. Some orders can be enforced by police or other compliance and enforcement officials. People who don’t follow these orders could be fined.
