Subject: Re: [DisabilityParty] Re: Who is responsible for necessities of
life of the handicapped? [long]
Dear Dr. LDMF:
Thank you for your interest and the morale booster. I certainly need it as
this has become the biggest challenge in "political psychology" that I
have yet faced. Maintaining this interest in public forums may be all we
need, though, to take care of the matter. "Evil grows in the dark" is the
old saying which applies so well.
First, a little political background which may interest politics watchers
in general. A year ago a new "Liberal" government was elected to the
parliament of this province of 4,000,000. Liberal in quotes because we
have to look past the names these days. They won 77/79 seats after a
"hold your nose and vote" election.
What happens in BC is important to all of North America when you consider
the report of the US Consul in Vancouver who was on the Ingram TV Show
last year and said that if BC were a separate country it would be the
11th. largest trading partner of the US. The size of the province is
another consideration. BC is twice the area of Japan (with its 120,000,000
people) with vast untapped and even unknown natural resources. Thus I
doubt very much that Premier Campbell's controllers are local or even
Canadian. This province is far too important internationally to make its
policies in isolation. Also, reports from Oz indicate that the handicapped
are being subjected to a similar policy there. Just coincidence?
Let me take just put forward an over-riding thesis on the MENTALITY which
is behind this (leaving the straight politics to those more qualified).
This is a GLOBALIST AGENDA. Policies are being set internationally and in
particular they are being set by 500 or so billionaire families. If that
sounds like Marxist class war theory I don't apologize. Class war theory
is much older than Marx. I think there are around 30,000 people who perish
every day on the planet for lack of necessities of life. Some literally
live on garbage dumps which is close to the situation in Vancouver now.
A "recycling" depot in the downtown eastside which is literally "the
poorest ghetto in Canada" sees a steady stream of "recyclers". They are
dumpster divers and scavengers of garbage dumps who need the extra cash
just to stay alive. Some are ex-mental patients. I expect most are "law
breakers" in that I doubt they report the earnings to their welfare
office, otherwise the earnings would be deducted from the next cheque and
they would still not have enough to stay alive and healthy. Campbell
policy has been deliberately set IMO to make sure everyone knows that
those living off garbage dumps here have no more rights than those living
off garbage dumps anywhere else in the world. The handicapped poor are
targeted because they are thought to be a soft target. Moral cowardice is
another characteristic of the fascist character disorder.
The steady policy of destroying the health-and-welfare system has been
going on for decades now. So here's my theory on what Campbell is doing.
He is taking a psychological sledge hammer to the health-and-welfare
system. After he has successfully started the genocide of the handicapped
poor in BC, what else can stand as far as health and welfare is concerned?
It becomes a VOLUNTARY system throughout, dependent on the largesse of
those in positions of political power and not any Constitutional right.
IMO (and I would very much like to be proven wrong) this man fits the
description of a "FASCIST CHARACTER DISORDER". Is "genocide" too
far-fetched? Remember what I said earlier about existential defenses vs.
ego defenses. The minds of most people will shut off at this point.
A well known local journalist has already reported that handicapped people
are phoning in to the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities in a
suicidal state of mind. In a population this size I expect the genocide
has tragically already taken its first victims.
As a lawyer you know all about the difference between culpable and
nonculpable homicide. In layman's terms the latter is called "getting away
with murder". So Premier Campbell has laid out a carefully premeditated
plan to GET AWAY WITH MURDER in layman's terms. If he gets away with it, I
expect there will be a domino effect across North America.
Another backgrounder. In just one year, all 146 BC judges have signed an
unprecedented letter of nonconfidence in this administration, claiming
among other things a denial of the constitutional right of "access to
justice". Some 2/3 of the BC Law Society voted similarly. About the same
proportion of the BC Medical Association has voted to go on strike and
the job action is proceeding now. They say the major issue has to do with
violations of the Canada Health Act. The Union of Indian Chiefs has been
unanimously protesting the "referendum" on Treaty Negotiations as Campbell
has simply abrogated the prior decisions of the courts here that First
Nation self-determination is INHERENT and not delegated. Another
constitutional violation chalked up to Campell. How often does a
government earn the ire of "doctors, lawyers and Indian Chiefs" to such a
degree and so fast? This is unprecedented in modern Canadian history.
Now if I were him I would quickly refute the thesis that he is a
"FASCIST CHARACTER DISORDER" or lay a complaint of defamation or even lay
criminal defamation charges. In my best Clint Eastwood imitation...."Make
my day!"
Sincerely-FWP
