Robocalls, Vikileaks: One of these things is not like the other

03/02/2012 by backofthebook.ca 2 Comments

Big Bad Wolf Vic Toews chasing Three Little PigsBy Montreal Simon

When I hear Vic Toews howling that he’s being victimized. WAAAAAAAH !!!!

Because he can’t do his job after being “anonymously degraded” by Vikileaks. 

“I take strong issue with the idea that House resources would be used to attack secretly a member of the House,” Toews said, adding that the anonymous account was degrading his reputation and obstructing him from carrying out his duties.

Without mentioning the boiling anger over his fascist Bill C-30, from where Vikileaks sprung. Or ever apologizing for calling decent freedom-loving Canadians kiddy porn perverts.

When I see Dean Del Mastro trying to make Vikileaks sound like more of a threat to Parliament than the conspiracy to steal an election. While straining his large sphincter to see how many times he can use the word “sleazy.” 

“I find it very distressing when we actually have an individual who was caught by an investigation by the Speaker …. who was forced to come forward and acknowledge the dirty, sleazy underhanded tactics that he undertook,” Mr. Del Mastro said.

Mr. Carroll has got a lot to answer for, Mr. Del Mastro added. “Did he use House resources for this? Was he being paid by the taxpayers when he was conducting this dirty, sleazy attack on a sitting minister?”

Because Cons don’t do sleaze eh?

When I hear Stephen Harper claim that the RoboCon scandal is an opposition “smear campaign” 

Because the Cons don’t do that either. Just like they don’t do dirty tricks. 

When I see all of the above, and I see how some in the media are swallowing that phony plot.

I can’t help thinking of a great new ad from The Guardian, where they take the story of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.

And give it a new narrative…

The Harper Cons. Where reality is whatever they say it is. The Big Lie is focus group tested. Internet freedom is a threat. Whoever controls the message controls the world.

Stephen Harper is a maniac. And Big Brother meets Karl Rove . . . .

    The Liberals are no better than the Conservatives. At least the Conservatives are public and up front about it. The Liberals make their deals in the back rooms. Never trust a Liberal.

    Stephen Harper, Rob Nicholson, John Baird, Jim Flaherty, Diane Finley, Peter MacKay, Tom Lukiwski and Vic Toews, along with the rest of the Conservatives are liars, cheats and thieves! Bill-C10 threatens to throw many in jail longer and needlessly! Bill C-11 would strip Canadians of even more rights to what we already own and censor our flow of information! Bill-30 will strip us of our privacy! Now lets not forget the G20 fiasco, Vic Toews immortal speech about Canadians being pedophiles, the planned pension cuts, they place gag orders on those they appoint to various studies so that if the studies turn up data contradicting their ideals, they can suppress the data, or their election fraud, and now they can’t even get our budget out on time!
    The fascist Conservatives would turn our country into an Orwellian nightmare! How can they even call themselves a legitimate government?! How dare they act like they have our best interests in mind! Who do they think they are telling us what we need and how to live our lives?! They’re the middle management and we’re the ones who hired them! We should be telling them what we want and how we want it!
    Canada needs to rise up march on Ottawa and occupy the parliament! We need to take back our country, remove the Conservatives from power! Our government, as a whole needs to be dismantled and rebuilt (that goes for those other parties as well. I’m looking at you Liberals and NDP. Fat load of good they’ve ever done for the country)! All our political parties have ever really done to us has been to divide Canadians. This only serves to make us easy prey for predators in the night! I say no more! Canadians need to stand up as one, divided by zero! Those that would appose the will of the people need to be taught a lesson, followed by some good old fashion tarring and feathering, finish with banishing traitors from Canada! Finally Canadians need some laws that allow us to force referendums on the government and punish corrupt politicians who think they can screw with their people, their employers, you and me! Fellow Canadians I implore you raise up and shout out your discontent for the horrible state of our country and the world for that matter. Shout from every mountain top (email, letters, phone calls, blogs, forums, twitter, youtube, ect…), “WE WILL NOT STAND FOR CORRUPTION WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT! WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT AS OUR FREEDOMS ARE SLOWLY ERODED! WE’RE COMING FOR YOU HARPER REGIEM! EXPECT US!” Let the voice of the masses resinate as one, thundering and deafening our oppressors. Keep screaming and screaming, every day, all day, don’t stop screaming until this country is ours again!
    ‘Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the windows, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”
    ‘People shouldn’t fear the government, the government should fear the people!’
