Crooked in Canada

As is every other industrialized country in the civilized world, times are tough for the economy and survival of big name corporations in the U.S. In fact, times are so tough that according to “economic experts” we are in the midst of a global economic meltdown, like the U.S. hasn’t seen since the Great Depression.

Given the shaky ground the big three automakers find themselves on, you would think that there would be some tightening up of the spending belt by the CEOs of Ford, Chrysler and GM, but apparently not, at least not according to Fox News who have ridiculed the CEOs who jetted off to Washington to meet with Congress in search of a taxpayer funded bailout package to keep them afloat.

The ridicule is deserved given that all those that went to Capitol Hill to beg for money flew into Washington on private jets instead of taking commercial flights which would have been far more cheaper, not to mention a tax write-off for all three auto-making giants. What were the dolts thinking, and the gall they displayed, what about that?

Talk about slapping American taxpayers in the face. Who the f**k do they think they are?

Such decadence and arrogance shouldn’t go unnoticed, and thanks to the ever popular Bill O’Reilly and Dennis Miller it won’t, and it shouldn’t.

If I was an American taxpayer, or better yet a congressman, I’d be telling the CEOs to go f**k themselves and to get a grip. They wouldn’t be getting one Lincoln penny from the taxpayer-funded coffers whether they had a plan on how they were going to spend the multi-billion bailout package they are begging for or not. After making huge profits off of consumer’s backs and really not giving much back to consumers, choosing instead to finance their corporate lifestyle with the perks and luxuries the CEOs are afforded these days, I say, “F**k em!, let them collapse and suffer the consequences of their capitalistic greed.”

As for the auto-making industry itself, I’m sure the U.S. could survive on used cars and the auto parts manufacturing end of the business for years to come if Ford, Chrysler and GM were forced to cut production because of the economic downturn, but then it shouldn’t take an economic downturn to force them into doing more themselves and the environment anyway. How many f**king cars does the world need anyway?

It wouldn’t be the end of the world with the Big Three automakers downsized to save their sorry corporate asses, though I do feel for the autoworkers that would lose their jobs.

A bigger focus on automobile recycling could lessen the impact on the amount of jobs lost, and it would be good for the economy. A more focused attention to automobile recycling by the Big Three certainly wouldn’t hurt the economy anymore than it is already suffering, and not to mention the effect of flooding the market with gas-guzzlers is having on the global warming crisis the world is apparently in.

I do think the autoworkers and the unions that represent those autoworkers could stand to suffer a bit themselves too, what with the high wages and the “Cadillac” benefits packages they demand, and that car-buyers help pay for. They too are the makers of the own fate, and like the CEOs who flew into Washington on their private jets, they too could stand to tighten their belts a little also.

Having said that, and as you obviously know by now if you have been paying attention to what I have written, the Big Three will get no sympathy from me, while the autoworkers and their unions will get the bare minimum I am willing to offer. Either way they won’t be getting any money from me as purchasing a brand new vehicle goes because I just don’t buy new vehicles, something car-loving Americans should think about doing.

One last thing, I agree with Mitt Romney when he says let the Detroit automakers go bankrupt. As for that clown Barney Frank, well, not much to say about him except that he should find another work because he’s looking like a tool in the congressional seat he is occupying. He’s a moron and how he managed to get elected is beyond me.

I like to think of myself of at least being a rational and fair-minded individual from time-to-time, but when it comes to children who commit crimes, whether those crimes are heinous or not, I have little time and understanding for those children as for me I believe that a child is very aware of what the difference is between what is right and wrong beginning at a very young age.

Most importantly, I will never believe that an 8-year-old child didn’t know that shooting to death two people was wrong, but I will concede that that child might have a few screws loose.

The State of Arizona has gained international attention after a 29-year-old Vincent Romero and a boarder in his home; Timothy Romans were shot dead by Romero’s 8-year-old son just over a week ago 273 kilometres (about 170 miles) northeast of Phoenix in a little rural town named St. Johns.

As the entire world knows by now thanks to Fox News, CNN and every newswire service on the planet, the boy fired two shots into the men, and then had the presence of mind to run next door unarmed to tell neighbours that he believed his father was dead.

The neighbours by the way did what any responsible adult would do when confronted by a child claiming their father was dead next door, they let the kid use their phone to call 9-1-1 instead of calling 9-1-1 themselves.

Anyway the child has since been charged with premeditated murder thanks to a confession he made without an attorney and the presence of a social-worker worker or his mother when the police interviewed the killer kid.

I will give the police a pat on the back for the way in which the interviewer conducted her interview with the mini-murderer who has nonchalantly told his version of events that unfolded in his father’s home, though the kid did change his story halfway through the interview.

According to the opinion of others who have seen the videotaped version of the interview, the kid remained calm, cool and collected throughout the telling of his murderous escapade.

Can you say sociopath?

If all those years I have been watching courtroom drama series on TV are anything to go by (and I use the comparison lightly), I think it is pretty safe for me to assume that the boy’s confession will be tossed out of court. Not that it matters, given that the state attorney’s office has a lot of physical evidence to prosecute him, like his prints all over the gun and the shell-casings, not to mention he was the only other person in the house at the time of the double slaying, and then of course there are the neighbours he ran to.

The kid is going to go down for this crime, sociopath or not,

The kid deserves to be locked up somewhere for a very, very, long time or until such time he will no longer be a threat to the community without having to be sedated.

The kid is a nut job and shouldn’t see the light of day from beyond the confines of a mental institution and/or a correctional facility, unless of course lobotomies are legal in Arizona, in which case I’m all for cutting out a big chunk of the kid’s brain and then throwing him back into society where American taxpayer’s will pay for the cost of his welfare and upkeep for the rest of his life which could last for another 80 years.

Have you figured out by now that I have no sympathy for this kid, and that regardless of his state of mind at the time of killings or whether he is a sociopath or not, that I think the kid should spend the rest of his life paying for his heinous crime in a state run facility, starting with a juvenile detention facility until he is old enough to be placed into a more permanent facility like a state run mental or correctional facility?

Have you figured out by now that I don’t give a ‘flying f**k’ about what happens to this kid just as long as he isn’t allowed back into the community?

A couple of days ago on Fox News Bill O’Reilly seemed a little perplexed by the kid’s actions, and what should be done with the kid as far as justice goes, and being the helpful guy I have fired off an email offering my opinion of what should be done with the kid, including what I have already mentioned in today’s Crooked in Canada report.

Here are the thoughts I would have like to share on the O’Reilly Factor had I been the one he was interviewing when he featured this case on his show this past Tuesday:

• I think the boy’s mother should be held accountable for her son’s actions, that she should be arrested for the way she has allowed her son to grow up.
• I think any parent who buys their 8-year-old child a firearm and teaches them how to use it is just plain dumb, and that if that child shoots and kills them, it’s their own damn fault. They are the makers of their own fate whether their child is a nut job or not. And why wasn’t the weapon locked away out of reach of the child? Surely a responsible father would have ensured that the child only had access to the weapon in his presence that it would have been under lock and key otherwise, right?
• I think the boy should consider himself lucky that I am not judge, jury, and executioner because like a rabid or terminally ill pet, I would euthanize him.
• The kid gets no sympathy from me. He was methodical in what he did, and then of course there is the calm, cool and collectiveness in which he gave police his version of events. Sociopath or not, the kid will never show remorse for his actions, though others will try and force remorsefulness upon him in the hope of rehabilitating him. There is no rehabilitating this kid without a lobotomy or the use of mind or mood altering drugs, and at the end of the day there is no guarantee that if the kid is released back into society one day, that he will always self-medicate.
• I think that the United States needs to WAKE THE F**K UP when it comes to gun-control, that with more than 210 Americans over the age of 18, the legal age one is allowed to buy a shotgun or rifle in any state, is it any f**king wonder there are so many kids under the age of 18 are able to get their hands on a gun. Parents buying guns for their under-age kids aren’t helping either. U.S. Gun Laws

I could sit in front of my laptop all day long and fire this shit off the top of my head, but I have other things I would like to write about today.

On a positive note the 8-year-old boy will be allowed to spend Thanksgiving with his mother. Let’s keep our fingers crossed he doesn’t murder her too.

When I heard the first report about an American high school girl who disappeared in Aruba after having a few drinks in the franchise restaurant and night club Carlos n Charlies in Oranjestad, for whatever reasons my first thoughts were that she had been kidnapped, and then sold as a sex slave.

I don’t know why that was the first thing that popped into my head, but after seeing her senior high school portrait today for only the second time since I first caught the story on Fox News, I can see why I thought that, after all she is an attractive young girl, the kind of girl rich Arab sheiks would pay a good dollar for to add to their harem, if of course she was sold as a sex-slave.

While there is absolutely no evidence that she was sold into sex slavery, that theory can’t be discounted given that a) there is absolutely no evidence that a murder has been convicted, and b) the fact that the prime suspect in the case Joran van der Sloot, the last person to see her, has recently been linked to the sex-slavery trade in Thailand and the Netherlands.

Call me a whack job, but apparently there is evidence that van der Sloot is involved in the trafficking of women in Thailand, and the Netherlands. Keep in mind that  he has been filmed engaging in a human-trafficking meeting, which when you think about it, gives legs to my initial theory that Natalee was sold as sex slave three years ago.

This isn’t the first time that Joran has been caught on video doing or saying something that should have raised a few red flags when it comes to the investigation in Natalee’s disappearance, and quite frankly I am a little perplexed as to why the investigators haven’t put more pressure on the Dutch dirtball, especially since  respected Dutch reporter Peter de Vries is the one who shot the video of Joran engaging in a sex trafficking operation in a Dutch hotel room where he is seen chatting it up with somebody claiming to be a  Dutch sex-trade entrepreneur. Unbeknownst to Joran the man is actually is working undercover for de Vries, who is a credible and very well respected journalist whose investigative journalism the authorities seem to have all but ignored.

That same reporter by the way has video footage of Joran telling somebody that he knows exactly what happened to Natalee and what happened to her body. Joran has since changed his tune on that song he was singing while under the influence of marijuana, explaining his comments away to authorities by saying that he was only telling the person what he thought the person wanted to hear. Yeah right Joran!

What a f**king toss this Dutch kid is, and isn’t it convenient for him that his father at the time of Natalee’s disappearance, was a well respected legal authority in Aruba and the Netherlands.

Again call me a whack job, but Paul van der Sloot should also be considered a prime suspect in Natalee’s disappearance, especially after a witness was able to place him with his son near a pond in front of his house at 4:00am on May 30, 2005, the night Natalee apparently vanished.

That witness has passed two polygraph tests, but conveniently for the van der Sloots that witness has been absolutely ignored by Hans Mos, the lead prosecutor on the case who since taking over the case has gone out of his way to impede the investigation into the van der Sloot family, and to make the Holloway case disappear. He’s f**king around and as far as Crooked in Canada is concerned it is deliberate.

I could be forgiven for thinking that Mos and the people he answers to might be a little dirty, that they are going out of their way to cover-up the connection between the van der Sloots and Natalee’s disappearance, but he isn’t exactly gung ho about the case according to reports I have heard on Fox News.

I think that Mos and his superiors, the very people he would have to answer to, are either very, very corrupt , or they are being bribed or blackmailed by the van der Sloot family to make the case go away.  On the off chance that Paul van der Sloot is blackmailing them into making the case go away, or at the very least exclude them as prime suspects in Natalee’s disappearance, then he must have some heavy shit on them.

Whatever the reasons for the failures in this investigation, the Aruba police appear to be nothing more than pawns in the investigation, and since I don’t know any better I am going to assume that the police are more interested in job security and their own personal agenda when it comes to their handling of the case.

Another witness has come forward in recent days too, and she is claiming that Joran confessed to her that he was involved in dumping Holloway’s body at sea, which brings me to my sex-slave theory.

In the first undercover operation Peter de Vries conducted we learned from Joran himself that he took her to the beach, had sex with her, she began to convulse and that he called a friend with a boat. He believes she  was dying or dead, so he says. The fact that he mentions anything about her dying or being dead seems like a convenient excuse to me, one that could have been deliberately throwing out there in attempt to deflect attention away from a more sinister plan which in a moment I will reveal.

He says he called a friend with a boat who arrives on the scene, and that they take her out to sea where her body is thrown overboard. Obviously he is playing up this “Natalee is dead” angle and to top it off he is non-chalant about it, at least he was in the video. Who knows how he told the story to police after the “new evidence” appeared before them.

Now about that sinister plan. Given that de Vries has recently connected Joran to trafficking in woman ,it seems a little more than possible that Joran targeted Natalee as a sex-slave, spiked her drink at Carlos n Charlies to incapacitate her, and then convinced her to go to the beach with him where a friend (perhaps even his father Paul) would be waiting with a boat to whisk them off to a secret rendezvous at sea with the buyer.

They set sail for a pre-arranged meeting with the buyer, Joran exchanges  an unconcious Natalee for money  and he heads back to shore. Joran may not have been lying when he says he dumped her at sea, and  dumping her at sea could mean anything really.

I think Natalee is still alive, and not unlike many women we have heard about who have been sold into the sex-trade; it may be many years before Natalee turns up or is discovered. Of course this is just another one of my whacked out theories and there is no evidence that that is in fact what happened. But it isn’t a stretch to think that, right?

If Natalee were dead I think there would have been some evidence, a shoe, a piece of clothing, or something that would point to her death discovered by now, and yet after 3 years not one piece of physical evidence has been found, nor has the boat that Joran claims he used been found.

The other thing to consider is that if her lifeless body was dumped into the sea, surely after three years and an exhaustive search by Equifax, something would have turned up, but having been a sailor myself I have heard that the sea doesn’t gives up it’s dead (or is it it’s secrets-I can’t remember). That’s a myth of course.

I also think the van der Sloots would love nothing more than for Natalee to be declared dead thereby deflecting attention from what really happened to Natalee, that she was sold as sex-slave, but again I am just making an assumption.

As for the investigation itself, I would say that Paul van der Sloot has many ‘connected’ colleagues and friends in Aruba and the Netherlands given his high standing in legal circles, and that those friends and colleagues are going out of their way to derail the police investigation. If not because of bribery and blackmail, then for the sake of their friend and their colleague.

Bribes certainly wouldn’t be out of the question, and would go along way in helping the van der Sloot ’s cause,  and they do have the financial means to pay off the right people.

As for the Aruba police, I think they are reluctant players in what many have said is a cover-up, and like  I alluded to early they might have been threatened with the loss of their jobs or worse, and their reluctance has more to do with self-preservation than anything else. They’re just doing as they are told.

Like I said I could be very, very wrong about all this, but you have to admit my theory is plausible if nothing else.

Unless her body turns up, I am going to assume that she is still alive, and that she is being held  captive as somebody’s sex-slave, and that one day many years from now she will turn up somewhere.

Wow, is that exotic dancing dinosaur who filed an age discrimination complaint with Ontario Human Rights Tribunal doing a good job of stretching her 15 minutes of fame or what, but she isn’t doing it without any help.

Kimberlee has literally gone international folks, and I bet like former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kimberlee Ouwroulis is fielding a lot of lucrative offers, though I doubt they are as lucrative as the Alaskan hockey mom and governor.

I hope she has found herself an agent because the hype that has been created by Kimberlee, a few newspapers and television reports of her story, like the bit I saw on Fox’s  “Red Eye,” is probably going to pay off big time, so much so that if OHRT doesn’t dismiss her case, she might just drop the case herself so that she can focus more on pursuing some of the lucrative offers that have fallen into her lap since she first went public with her story. Trust me those offers are there now. Good on her.

I can’t say that I would blame her for putting those offers ahead of her lawsuit, after all it would be less of headache, and besides Kimberlee doesn’t strike me as the type of person who would put fighting for the rights of other strippers ahead of the fame and fortune that is knocking on her dressing room door.

By the way the Red Eye sound byte I heard asks should granny being doing lap dances (though Kimberlee isn’t a “granny”‘at least not to the best of my knowledge) and is she too old for the pole. Aren’t the folks at Red Eye witty?  While their report was amusing, they were merely having some fun at Kimberlee’s expense, and I’m sure she was insulted a lot more by their report than anything I have written in Crooked in Canada about her.  I’m sure the money her story is generating for her will help her get over it though.

I have no doubt in my mind that Kimberlee has already been approached by a porno movie producer or two, and a couple of skin magazine editors also, and at this very moment she is seriously considering committing to a project or two so that she can get out of the stripping business a lot sooner than she originally planned to.

In the mean time her current new employer and she are cashing in big time with all the publicity that has been surrounding her complaint. No doubt the club she is dancing in now is hopping. Business will be booming, but eventually the novelty will wear off.

Whatever happens to the legal side of Kimberlee’s story, you can bet that when she decides to cash in those offers that are pouring in for her by now, her 15 minutes of fame will either be extended to 70, maybe 80 minutes in a porno movie, and at the very least in a couple of monthly issues of a skin magazine, maybe a Hustler, Penthouse or Playboy spread, the latter of course being the most lucrative of the three photo spread options she would receive in my opinion, though a porno movie producer might pay her big bucks to appear in a few “monkey-spanking” scenes.

In the National Post article I read the other day she says that when the manager of the Mississauga strip club that allegedly fired her because of her age called her into his office, he sat her down and looked directly at her and said, “Your time is up here,” at which point she asked “Why? Is it because of my age?”  It doesn’t say in the National Post if he replied yes to her query, but in Red Eye’s report they said that he replied by saying that the club was going for a younger look and that he had already fired another “older” girl that same day.

Red Eye also says that upon hearing that response Kimberlee got up and left his office and headed straight for a lawyer.

I have to wonder if Kimberlee didn’t already know that she was going to be let go before she entered the office to face off with the club manager, and that she had an angle to work to ensure that she was going to be financially compensated in one way, shape or form.

I don’t believe she was surprised by her firing, in fact I think she was expecting it, only she didn’t know when it was going to happen.

I think she might have contacted the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal to discuss her options before she was fired, that she was prepared when she walked into the manager’s office. I think she might have even attempted to secretly record the conversation she had with the manager. It’s amazing what an MP3 can be used for these days.

I am also going to assume that the manager was smarter than he was given credit for on Red Eye, and that he never once mentioned that he was firing Kimberlee because of her age, or if he remotely even said anything like that, though if Kimberlee has a recording of the conversation she would prove me wrong.  For now I am going to assume he chose his words very carefully knowing full well the ramifications for him and his employer if he mentioned that she was being let go because she had grown too old for the job. Saying the club was going for a younger look or feel isn’t discriminatory by the way, it’s just good business for a strip club operator.

That said I will close out today’s Crooked in Canada entry with comments others have made about this story.

She looks absolutely fabulous to me!  Being a mature woman myself, many of us find great pleasure in taking care of ourselves and find just as much pleasure in the ‘feedback’ we receive.  Having the confidence that she obviously possesses is a turn-on to any man.  I’m certain she could be a perfect anchor for the younger girls coming up in the business- giving priceless insight and heartfelt advice, not to mention some time-honored moves and lines to keep the customers excited!-Colleen

I am a 50 year old black female and I am hard pressed to believe this lade is 44.  She looks at least 10 years older than I do.  So, I can see why a club might not want to have her dance.  We all know that strip clubs are about how young and good looking you are.  That is just the way it is.-Jaydee

Nothing says sexy like …belly breasts.-EdNigma

She does NOT look 60. If she looks ten years older than the poster who said she is 50, then that poster must LOOK 28 because Ms. Ouwroulis looks 38:TOPS.

Her makeup is flawless, I see no visable lines, and she dresses smartly with a real sexy but tasteful flair.

She’s a proud, confidant, radiant woman.

There’s a HUGE fan-base for mature ladies, thus the term MILF.

if  she doesn’t get accepted it in the Burlesque Industry, she’d do very well in tasteful adult films.Many who balk at this burlesque and adult film industry simultaniously partake in enjoying it incognito. Others are simply jealous or ageist people.

I hope she wins. Free speech. That’s how she can win. Freedom of expression and since she is  likely independant contractor anyhow, on what basis does owner have to discriminate or “fire” this (probably) non employee/freelancer??-DeniseLaF

Hmm… I’d do her.

(On an aside - I’m not even sure WHY this is going to the Human Rights Tribunal - she should just take her cheque and go elsewhere…like my apartment, maybe?)-donald.blair

Next she will want to do away with manditory retirement at sixty five. She might want to consider table dancing at a nursing home.-apophis

Memo to Kimberlee.

Guys do not go to strip clubs to watch dancers. They go to watch women strip. Thats the naked truth. I believe age discrimination in this case is a stretch of the imagination. Were the customers complaining? Did they applaud or boo her performances? There is more to this than meets the eye.-ZeeBC

The above comments courtesy of the National Post article I read, as brief as it was.

Exotic Dancing Dinosaur Visits CBC Website: Kimberlee Ouwroulis Defends Herself

After an al-Qaeda terrorist cell flew a couple of hijacked jets into the World Trade Center in New York a Canadian woman, Beverly Giesbrecht from British Columbia, converted to Islam. Until now I didn’t know she existed.

If it wasn’t for the headline grabbing news story that Giesbrecht, a Canadian citizen who now goes by the name of Khadija Abdul Qahaar had been kidnapped at gunpoint (so the story goes anyway), I probably never would have heard of her as I don’t tend to go out of my way to visit Canadian pro-terrorists websites like the one she runs and publishes on at jihadspun.com.

Nevertheless I find her story intriguing, and dare I say, hardly believable. Although I could be wrong about Giesbrecht aka Qahaar, and though I don’t really care if I am or not anyway, I think the 52-year-old woman is running some kind of scam to help out the jihad cause she supports.

For all we know this woman and a couple of her terrorist associates (and don’t think after being in Pakistan for as long as she has been that she hasn’t made any friends) could have planned her kidnapping all along, and that their hope is that Canadian government pays a ransom for her release. Again I could be wrong, but when it comes to terrorist sympathizers, which according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center of Holocaust Studies says she is (they’re the experts, but I wonder what CSIS, the RCMP and Stockwell Day have to say about that) I trust them about as far as I could walk into a public building with a suicide vest strapped to my chest.

I have no sympathy for Geisbrecht-Qahaar, nor do I believe that she has been kidnapped. I think it’s a ruse.

Why would I think that you might be asking…Well it might have something to do with the fact that she posted an urgent request asking for financial help to get out of Pakistan, which she described on her website as erupting into a full-scale war zone. Funny, news reports I have been catching (admittedly I haven’t seen them all) haven’t alluded to what she is saying, but who am I to say that she’s either lying or blowing things way out of proportion.

Something else that I find curious is how come she just didn’t head straight to the Canadian Embassy in Karachi, Islamabad and Islamabad, or at the very least sent them an email regarding her perilous circumstances instead of hoping that visitors to her website would make cash donations to her cause via PayPal, credit card and Western Union.

I don’t know but like I said it sounds to me like she might be running a scam. Her friends last heard from her 11 days ago.

Whether or not she is running a scam or not, the Tory government is apparently going out of their way to help this particular supporter of jihad, but then again she isn’t facing murder charges like that other Canadian sack of shit being held in Guantanamo on murder and terrorism support charges, Omar Khadr.  Lucky for her-eh?

She may be a Canadian citizen and deserving of the Canadian government’s aid, but I have to wonder why the woman went to Peshwar in the first place, as should the Canadian government and the rest of Canada should be wondering about any Canadian citizen who has rather perilous ties to jihad.

If she didn’t have those ties does anybody really think she would have gone to Peshwar in the first place? She probably has friends in high places there, and that when she went there it was to help them with fundraising and that it is quite possible her kidnapping was part of that plan.

My theory could be wrong, but what if it isn’t and the feds learn during the course of their investigation that indeed she is running a scam?  What should happen to her, keeping in mind she is a Canadian citizen who obviously was so moved by the 9/11 attacks she converted to Islam to share with them in their jihad against the west.

We are talking about one f**ked up woman Canada, and whether or not she orchestrated her own kidnapping or not, should she ever return to Canada I’m thinking a national security certificate my be in order.

As most of the world already knows, things haven’t been good in Somalia for a very, very long time despite military assistance and aid offered and given to the people of Somalia via their government. How many decades has the bullshit that’s playing out in Somalia been playing out now and still nothing has changed?

Now the president of Somalia Abdullah Yusuf Ahmed has uttered something that the U.S and Canada (if not the entire free and democratic world) would have learned a long time ago but chose not to say too much about it out of fear of stirring the pot so to speak, that Somalia is being over-run by Islamist insurgents (back in the day they would have been called rebels and freedom fighters-lol) and that the current token government could completely collapse because of them.

In other words he is saying, “they are kicking the shit out of us and we need help.”

Lol, this Ahmed is a f**king tard as far as I’m concerned. Why tell the Islamist insurgents that they are winning, that they are in a position to topple the government. How f**king stupid of him was that? Why I bet the insurgents are planning a big celebration in anticipation of defeating Ahmed’s government.

Like I said, what a f**king tard he is, and how stupid of him.

Oh well.

Another thing that concerns me, and this reeks of stupidity and total ineptness on the part of anybody, including Ahmed who has led Somalia since the 70s is that Somalian leaders have been reluctant, and often sloughed off international help, or at the very least made it difficult for foreign aid to arrive. How dumb is that, and to what end. Baffling.

When it comes to military intervention from the international community; this despite the fact they need it, not to mention that Ahmed has said as recently as yesterday that he is losing the war against the insurgents, not that I think he is actually waging war against them to begin with. I think he’s sitting on his ass with his thumb up his ass while pretending to take on the Islamist insurgents, that he is just paying the world lip-service, if only to protect his cushy job and the luxuries that job provides him.  The people he is supposed to serve should feel 1/1,000,000th as lucky.

You know what, who the f**k cares anymore, I certainly don’t and I am tired of hearing about Somalia when the rest of the world really doesn’t have the balls to do anything about it anyway. They too f**king afraid of the Islamist community, afraid of upsetting the international Islamic community, which is exactly what is feeding the radical Islamists in Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan, not to mention those little sleeper cells of Islamist extremists lurking in the shadows in various parts of the world.

The international community should say f**k the UN’s plan for Somalia, and get in there and take care of the problem themselves by any means necessary and without having to be invited. Of course that would mean that Somalia’s military would have to be targeted too since they are equally responsible for the murderous rampage that all sides of the conflict are responsible for.

Another oh well only this time I am adding, “What the f**k do I know about it?”

One could easily ask why anybody should continue to help Somalia when they can’t or won’t even help themselves, but at the end of the day I am just tired of hearing about the same shit from the same pile coming out of Somalia on a daily basis. I can’t believe that humanitarian groups and organisations (a few Canadians are over there helping out remember) aren’t more vocal about what they see happening with their own eyes (and believe me they are seeing a lot more than they are allowed to tell us otherwise he would be hearing from a lot more than the just the UN and African leaders as to the gravity of the situation.  Make sense to you?

I am not by any stretch of the imagination an expert on Somalia.

Since the 80s for sure, though it was 1990 when the shit finally hit the fan once Somalia was no longer strategically important to anybody thanks to the end of the Cold War, there has been no real credible and legitimate government, figuratively speaking of course. I really doubt today that other foreign governments really believe that the Somali leader is anything more than somebody’s peon, but one that benefits from the riches war creates for such leaders who are at the beckon call of tribal warlords who since the civil war broke out, have been largely responsible for the unrest and strife that has been seen in Somalia for many, many years now.

The Somali Civil War was the beginning of the end for Somalia, not that it wasn’t on the verge of anarchy before then, and while that war is referenced in today’s Crooked in Canada entry, it would make this blog entry a lot longer than it already is, so therefore any talk of the Somali civil war ends with this paragraph.

Bottom-line, there should be a huge international military presence in Somalia right now. It should include other African nations (more specifically Egypt), a few European and Asian countries, Canada, the UK, forces from South America, and of course Israel, Iran and maybe a few other Middle Eastern countries that have a capable military force. Take down the government, take down the warlords and shut down the Islamist insurgency.

Too do that the international community needs to send a couple hundred thousand troops, not to mention tanks, fighter-jets and array of sophisticated weaponry that already exists to take the motherf**kers out once and for all. No more of this “fair fight” shit like we are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq on the part of the coalition weaponry we are seeing there. It makes for a drawn out war and the world economy can’t really afford to support three drawn-out wars that involve the al-Qaeda terrorist organization.

What I am calling for in Somalia would be the biggest military manoeuvre since the one the Yanks (with the help of coalition forces of course) made taking down the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. All I am saying is enough of the bullshit, and that the war on terrorism should include Somalia. How can anybody argue with that?

There is only one solution to what is going on in Somalia and it requires fierce international military intervention. It would be a brutal battle, very bloody, and a lot of coalition casualties, but the world has to do what it has to do when it comes to democracy and our freedoms, and to shut down those f**king religious fanatics who think they should be ruling the world.  What is so wrong with blowing the f**k out of people who would rather annihilate us than have us live amongst them or vice versa?  The world is a f**ked up place if we are going to continue to allow Islamist extremists to dictate to us how the world is going to be, and force their ideologies down our throats with murderous actions. They want a war, we should be taking it to them a lot more f**king harder to them than we are, but I digress.

The Somalian government should collapse, but not at the hands of the Islamist insurgents. It should collapse at the hands of an international coalition force, after all that same government and its officials are just as guilty of mass murder and corruption as the insurgents and the warlords are, and like the insurgents and warlords they need to answer for their crimes against there own people.

The fact that the Somalian president doesn’t want foreign military intervention in a time when they obvious need it should raise a few eyebrows too when it comes to the legitimacy of Ahmed and his ministers. Funny how he bitches, whines and complains about the help his regime (that’s what is government is as far as I’m concerned) needs, and the lack thereof, but when it comes to military assistance he’ll have no part of it.

Hmm, makes you wonder whose side his government is really on doesn’t it, what warlords he is snuggling up to, and which insurgency leader’s asses he is kissing? Sounds to me like maybe the international communities first priority should they decide in the very near future to ‘invade’ Somalia, is to topple Ahmed, and his regime. It’s a good place to start in Somalia.

You know what, f**k what the Somali and other African leaders, as well as the UN wants as it pertains to Somalia (wishful and unrealistic thinking by the way) and lets just go in the there and put an end to the bullshit that has been going on there for the past couple of decades thanks to Somalian leaders who have been a bigger problem to the stability of Somalia then they have been of any help. There hasn’t been one, not one Somalian leader and government he has led that have been able to get the job that needs to be done in Somalia done. Somebody argue that point with me.

There shouldn’t be anybody who can legitimately and with credibility argue with me that I am wrong when I say there has not been one Somalian leader who has been able to get control of, and manage the impoverished and war-ravaged African nation, not even in the slightest.

The proof of that lies in the past 25 years (I’m guessing at the number of years the trouble in Somalia has been going on, but in the early 80s there was an influx of Somalian refugees into Canada wasn’t there) and it is about time various foreign governments told the UN to f**k off and go pick fruit to feed the world’s starving instead of impeding the process needed to put Somalia on the right path, and its time for them to send in the troops to take out the Somalian regime leading the country, which is what the Ahmed government is as far as I am concerned.

While they are it, they should pop into Zimbabwe and take out that motherf**ker Robert Mugabe too. Africa would definitely be a better place without him.

It’s time that armed men and women supported with some heavy-duty military hardware went into Somalia and took care of business and cleaned up the mess that the UN has said for the past couple of decades it could clean up, but to date has not. Then when they are done there, head over to Sudan and take care of business there too.

It’s time to literally shut down those violent African nations that nobody really wants to do anything about, not even their own governments, and to do it with military might. Enough all f**king ready. Let’s get going with World War III, let’s get it over and done with instead of sitting around waiting for it too happen.

Have I mentioned in the past that if a third world war were to occur that it would likely begin in Africa? If I haven’t then Crooked in Canada is going on record to state that now.

Obviously the rest of Africa wouldn’t take too kindly to foreign troops landing on their continent and doing what other African countries haven’t had the balls to do, but who the f**k cares, enough is enough already, and besides it isn’t likely an international coalition force is going to face much of a challenge from African countries who have sat idly by for the past quarter century, perhaps even longer.

If the rest of Africa doesn’t like it, (in fact if the rest of world doesn’t like it) too f**king bad, unless of course somebody has a better idea, which by the way I doubt anybody has.

Sad but true, the only way to resolve what is going on in Somalia (and in Sudan too), is all out war. The world should be keeping a close eye on Kenya and the Congo region where things are pretty tense there too.

And what about Egyptian government officials, where the f**k do they stand in all this, and why haven’t we  heard much from them about what is going on the continent they share with some of the world’s poorest and war-ravaged countries, and what they believe needs to be done in Somalia and Sudan?

Why aren’t they more involved, and does their lack of ‘real involvement’ have something to do with cowardice or the fear of some Egyptian government officials that they will be discovered as being aiders and abettors and colluding with the enemy of the people in Somalia. The question is of course, who the Egyptian government sees as the enemy in Somalia, the Ahmed regime or the insurgents, both of whom are the people’s enemy, the starving and dying ones anyway.

That said I really don’t know what is going on in Somalia as far as religion and politics goes, but I am not blind and I am not stupid.

It has been about a quarter century since I first became aware of the turmoil in Somalia and I only learned about then because I worked with a few Somalian refugees in Quebec City in the fur industry (Maranda et Labrecque) when I was in my late teens. I saw what life in Somalia had done to them and I heard some of their stories (language barrier was a problem but I got the gist of what they were trying to say, as did many of my French speaking co-workers) and more than 25 years later I bet Somalian refugees who are arriving in Canada and other parts of the world today are still telling the same story.

Its time to go into Somalia and fix things and for that to happen the entire world has to be on the same page. What are the chances of that ever happening?

A new American president will be sworn in about two months time and again as they have done during the past 6 years of Omar Khadr’s incarceration in Guantanamo Bay, his lawyers are getting his hopes up by implying that come January president-elect Barack Obama will more than likely order him released from his Guantanamo Bay prison cell and returned to Canada where those same lawyers believe he should be tried for the terrorism crimes he is accused of anyway.

That my Crooked in Canada friends is too f**king funny.

Imagine having a lawyer who for six plus years who hasn’t been able to do anything for his client except get his hopes up, only to have those hopes come down around that client repeatedly when things don’t exactly play out the way the lawyer says it will, and then of course there is the tactic of trial delays that can see a client spend a lot more time behind bars then necessary. Khadr’s defence team has used many trial delay tactics, and if it wasn’t for those delay tactics…Well who know, maybe Khadr would be preparing for his release from prison instead of preparing for his trial 6 years after he was captured.

I bet the Khadr family, who for whatever reason are still allowed to remain in Canada despite their ties to the terrorism network operation in Afghanistan, are beginning to think that the attorney’s for Omar are been less than effective in defence of one of their own. I know if I had a son or brother being held on terrorism and murder charges that could see him locked up for the rest  of his life, I would want better attorneys than the ones defending Omar Khadr. That’s for sure.

Has anybody noticed how the Khadrs never have anything to say about the lawyers defending their son and brother, and that when they do it is hardly a pat on the back for a job well done. I don’t think I have read anything that is a ringing endorsement of the work they are doing, nor have I heard Omar’s “other supporters” offering up favourable views of the work his lawyers are doing for them. I wonder why that is.

The Khadrs and their supporters have rarely had anything to say about the lawyers defending Omar and somebody like me has to wonder why that is.

Could it be because they don’t have anything nice to say about them in the first place, never have, or is it because they are being told to because anything they might say might jeopardize the relationship Omar has with his defence team who as I have said are inept.

I also find myself wondering what if the trial had gone forward way back when, before all the delay tactics Omar’s lawyers used, would the sentence he might have received be coming to an end by now.

Hmm, ya think his lawyers might be hoping upon hope that by the time this trial does draw to a close and should their client be found guilty, that the time their client has spent behind bars mostly due to their delay tactics, will be taken into consideration when the final sentence is handed down? I bet they are, but surely they must realize that they games they have been playing have hurt their client more than anything else as far as his trial goes, and that if the time Omar has spent behind bars isn’t taken into consideration, they have nobody but themselves to blame for that.  They really haven’t done Omar any favours in the actions they have taken to defend their client, in fact because of some their actions it is easy for me to assume that they have made things worse for Omar, the fact that he has been sitting behind bars for the past 6 plus years is testament to that fact, wouldn’t you agree?

Anyway, Omar Khadr isn’t going to be set free by the Barack Obama, and for Khadr’s lawyers to even suggest that that is a possibility, gives credibility to the following; that they don’t know what the f**k they are talking about, and that when it comes to representing their client’s best interests they are spending too much time hoping that his trial doesn’t go forward, or that he ill be released without having to stand trial.  How stupid of them to suggest to their client that come January after the new commander-in-chief is sworn in, that there is the distinct possibility that he will be set free. Whatever gave them that idea in the first place, did they sit down and have a chat with the president-elect about the case, or did they sit down and chat with somebody in the Democratic Party that is prepared to advance their cause? I would really like to know where they come up with this shit, or if they are just making it up as they go along.

Nevertheless Omar shouldn’t get his hopes up that when Obama takes office that he is going anywhere but a courtroom to answer for his crimes, despite how convincing his lawyers sound about his chances. His lawyers have been letting him down for the past six years (not that I care), and unless Omar fires his legal team he is in for a lot more let downs, and very possibly a lot more years in jail.

Barack Obama might set him free. Khadr’s lawyers can’t be serious.  F**k are they dumb. They don’t know what they are talking about.

The last thing Obama is going to do is give any kind of order that orders for Khadr’s release and repatriation back into Canada.

Khadr is charged with some serious crimes, the kind of crimes that if an adult or child would have committed them in certain states in the U.S. would see them executed if found guilty and the death penalty was on the table.

Obama isn’t going to send Khadr back to Canada without facing a trial and Khadr’s lawyers know that it is a stretch for them to think and then tell their client otherwise.

Like I said many times in Crooked in Canada before, the attorneys for Khadr are a joke, pretty much useless these days, and by the time this case draws to a close (and it will sooner or later-depending on how many more times the defence team delays the inevitable) they won’t have much of a law career left, at least not one they can brag about.

Their defence of Khadr, despite what they might think, is going to hurt their law career more than anything else, if only because they have looked like fools in defence of their client so far.  About the only thing they will be able to do is hang their own shingle, and then they will be hoping that their efforts in the Khadr were enough to have clients breaking their door done looking for legal representation.

At the end of the day and whether I care or not, they are f**king with Omar’s mind-giving him false hope, not that I care or anything given that I am a very biased person in this particular case and the more they f**k with his head the broader my smile gets.

I think Khadr should spend at least another 10 years in a prison cell in either Canada or the United States if he is found guilty of the crimes he is accused of, and that where Barack Obama is concerned I’m almost 100 per cent certain that he will let justice take its course as far as Omar Khadr goes.

Barack Obama isn’t going to intervene on behalf of somebody who is accused of killing an American soldier, especially a person who knowingly and willingly supported terrorism in Afghanistan against the U.S. It isn’t going to play out that way despite what Omar’s lawyers are saying publicly or to him directly.

And last but certainly not least it must really suck for Omar, knowing that he has such an inept legal team, and that there is really nothing he can do about it without harming his case any more than his lawyers already have. That has got to suck for Omar and his family.

Conceivably Omar could receive a lengthy prison term if convicted of the terrorism crimes his is accused of, but I can’t see that happening any more than I can see Omar being tried for his crimes in Canada, which his lawyers have been pressing to see happen for quite a while now. That’s pretty dumb thinking on their part too, and I have to wonder how they managed to get law degrees if they haven’t figured out by now that when you are charged with a crime by the U.S. authorities in the U.S., then you stand trial for that crime in the country that is laying the charges, not some other country as Khadr’s lawyers seem to think.

It doesn’t take a degree to figure that out about how the legal systems of individual countries work, in fact my stepson who just turned 8 years old can figure that one out for himself, and I know if I asked him if I was charged with a crime in Australia would I stand trial in Canada or Australia he would reply, “If you don’t know the answer is Australia, then you are lot more stupid than I thought,” or words to that effect.

Khadr likely won’t face military trial: lawyer -(Get f**king real)

Ontario lawyers call on PM to seek Khadr’s return -(A joke right?)
