On This Episode:
Uncle Grandpa started as a ridiculous character concept to embody the times, turns out it's a real thing! We found it hiding in the RCMP and running for the BC Liberal Party. Uncle Grandma was a character that we felt embodies the anarchy of the mind which is so rampant these days. How fitting that it's now seeking election, becoming part of the Government. And what does the word Govern-ment mean, well Govern is control and Mente is the mind. Government is the state of control in the minds of people. So here we go, introducing the anarchy that is … Uncle Grandma!
An RCMP Sergeant is running in liberal party as of May 5th 2022 … It was in fact politics mixing with law enforcement in Nazi Germany which lead to atrocities and the Nuremburg Trials. Now, in BC, we have law enforcement moving into politics. The Sergeant is taking a “leave of absence” but has not divorced themself from the RCMP. NOT GOOD!
So, here is the totalitarian tiptoe that is : Uncle Grandma! Hiding behind the LGBTQ+ community as a defense BUZZSAW!! It's RCMP spokesperson Elenore Sturko. Known for her uncle being honored, 55 years after he was discharged from the RCMP for being gay. He died a few months after termination from AIDS. This is not to detract from his story, but what is the history here?
The RCMP barracks were all men with strict codes, they couldn't even get married without permission. What was the RCMP like 55 years ago in the 1950s? A lot different than the way things are today that’s for sure so what’s the issue? This may be a mechanism of the Totalitarian Tiptoe - using the LGBTQ+ community, how? Changing history. So, Uncle Grandma, erases historical context on things from the past, making it all somehow different today. This level of Relativism causes people to lose sight of how to explore history. If history is “bad” then don’t bother looking at it and definitely don’t learn from it!
And again, it’s in history that we have to look to see where we have examples of political parties and police mixing. The Gestapo (Nazi Germany), The Stasi (Communist East Germany) and The NKGB (Stalinist and post Stalinist Russia). All of these lead to Secret Policing, which was particularly horrendous for Political Dissidents.
So we have the issue of RCMP in politics: active or inactive, RCMP have privileged positions and information access. Too much access to information, and without warrant! Where did it go wrong and where might it have started? Let’s look back to 1993 to 2003 with Priminister John Chretien and the Zach Adeli RCMP Scandal. The RCMP Commissioner who commissioned the slippery slope ...
Kurt Eiden was set to be the next RCMP commissioner. Amid a contentious election, Eiden’s rival, Zach Adeli's had a neighbor named Herb, a former MP. Adeli must have had some dirty laundry on Herb because Herb came out of retirement to lobby and push the Chretien Government to get involved in the election… something that is absolutely forbidden. Somehow Zach had something on Herb and Herb was tight with Chretien. An instant recipe for corruption and disaster.
The Chretien Government intervened in the election and installed Adelli. The RCMP was in the midst of negotiating higher wages for members. Instead of following the will of the RCMP Members, Adelli went in the other direction and unionized the RCMP. Since then the RCMP has been in a downward spiral. To the point that the RCMP contract is not being renewed. So in March 2032 when it expires, everyone in Canada will be on the hook for a new policing models.
We also look at the issue of RCMP becoming judges through appointment rather than election by the people. This is an issue when we have rampant corruption in the BC Office of the Chief Judge. Major lack of impartiality and breaches of rights, how is a Sheriff any good in that situation?
