Marginalized Action Dinosaur

I’ve already pointed out all that Chretien didn’t attend Lillehammer, Nagano, Sydney and Salt Lake City, yet has the nerve to berates PM Harper for not going to Peking.

Yet lets look at why he may have finally have awoken and got uptight about his financial holdings.

a) First he’s an oil executive, nothing much on its own is it.

b) Second he’s an oil executive from a company with close ties to China. He was using his influence when his company was bought for 4 billion dollars by China theres a little more reason.  4 Billion reasons.

c) his ties are real close to China as are well,… the power corp is everywhere right?

d) He buried the sidewinder report because other interests are more important than the nations.

e) They give him VIP service in exchange for ignoring human rights.

f) if he is feigning outrage could someone in one the triads mentioned in the sidewinder report have called him, and told him to jump?  Mention the Dali Lama 3 times! they say in the sidewinder report that kind of thing happens.

g) if you support gun control why are you associating with people smuggling 2000 Illegal guns into the country?

Formerly known as Hurricane Hydrocarbons Ltd. the company was founded in 1981 and initially operated in Western Canada. It changed to a more international focus and grew after making several major oil finds in Southern Kazakhstan. In 1996 it purchased Yuzhneftegaz from the Kazakh government, making it one of the largest players in the country. However the company ran into severe problems in the late 1990s. All the company’s oil went through refineries owned by Central Asian Industrial Holdings, which used their monopoly to charge high prices. At the same time oil prices plunged. In 1999 the company was forced into receivership and almost broken up. View of the Tosco (ex Valero, originally Shell) Martinez oil refinery An oil refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into useful petroleum products. … Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organization to pay their creditors. …

The company was saved by Bernard Isautier, a board member who had long been involved in the Canadian oil industry and in Central Asia. He became CEO and negotiated a merger with Central Asian Industrial Holdings. This eventually made the investors in both companies very wealthy, especially Isautier who had demanded no salary and was at first only paid in stock options. The rapid increase in the stoc k’s value made Isautier by far the most generously compensated executive in Canada in 2004. In 2003 the company was renamed PetroKazakhstan to reflect that its entire operations are in that country. A stock option is a specific type of option with a stock as the underlying instrument (the security that the pay-off of the option, and therefore its value, is based on). …

Former Canadian Prime minister Jean Chretien has been named a special advisor to the board of directors of PetroKazakhstan, the company announced in a press release this week.

Chretien will advise the20board on international relations issues, drawing on his ten years as Canadian PM as well as his earlier service in the Ministries of Justice, Finance and Energy and Mining.

With an estimated asset base of C$48 billion, CITIC is among the worlds largest corporations with 44 subsidiaries and banks including those in Hong Kong, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.

It has close links to the Peoples Liberation Army, counts among its advisors Chrétien’s son-in-law Andre Desmarais of Power Corp and answers directly to Chinas top ruling echelon.
…

The Rand report concluded: CITIC does enter into business partnerships with and provide logistical assistance to PLA and defense-industrial companies like Poly Technologies Inc.

Poly’s U.S. subsidiaries were abruptly closed in August 1996, after federal US authorities in California concluded a lengthy sting operation by arresting seven people linked to Poly and another state-run Chinese arms firm for allegedly smuggling 2,000 AK-47 or Kalashnikov rifles into the country.

Why did petrokhazakstan give him the job I wonder?

This is a fascinating story in the National Post, written by Kevin Libin. It details a move within an American association of professors to move their annual convention to a city other than Toronto, for the sole reason that Canada’s human rights commissions are incompatible with the freedom of expression necessary for academic discussions.

…In a statement issued on Thursday, the working group behind the protest said: “The nature of radical Islamism and the relationship of public morality and homosexual conduct are issues of vital public importance” and that “all political scientists have a professional interest in a full and open scholarly debate” on these topics. The group called it “unseemly” for APSA to “turn a blind eye to [Canadian] attacks on freedom of speech” and “unacceptable … to risk exposing its own members to them.”

A member of the Hoover Institution? Why that’s a hate crime isn’t it?

In today’s Globe & Mail Clifford Orwin, U of T Prof, offers his take on the efforts of members of the American Political Science Association to condemn Toronto as the host city for their upcoming conference due the abuse of Free Speech rights by the Turtle Bay loving Marxist sycophants running our Human Rights Commissions.

Kill Michelle Malkin! they say, death threats should lead to jail time says I.

Course they probably say it’s not hate when they do it. It’s ok because that’s different. The dems threatening her are nicer than the dems who built the KKK.

While chanting for peace,….

H/t When moonbats attack: Kill Michelle Malkin!

Good for you, Ken Look, whatever your position is on abortion, it’s wrong that the death of a wanted fetus isn’t treated as a crime, if for no other reason than the fetus belongs to the woman. It shouldn’t be an “aggravating factor”. It should be a crime in and of itself. I don’t believe the feminists, unions and doctors have at heart the best interests of women who lose their fetuses to crime. For more social conservative news check out BigBlueWave.ca .. read more..

And some say Harper rules with an iron hand.  Not that iron but the MSM’s have to milk their headline.

Jean Chretien rambles away

Jean Chrétien, spewing his trademark braggadocio and incoherence at a gathering of fellow slime-balls today, criticized Stephen Harper for his handling of the China file:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has short-sightedly risked relations with China by failing to attend the Olympic games and going overboard in honouring Tibet’s Dalai Lama, former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said Monday.

Mr. Chrétien said that Canada has to keep in mind that it is too small a global player to hector the Chinese or try to hurt them with boycotts. “It’s 1.3-billion people, and I’m telling you that they are moving fast. You think that Canada is very important in the world? I remember when I was going to China … the press saying: ‘ Mr. Chrétien, you have to tell the president of China to do this and do that.’

“Oh really?” Mr. Chrétien continued. “You want me to the tell the president of a country of 1.3 billion people you should do this and do that, but I don’t dare to say what to do to the premier of Saskatchewan? You have to put things in perspective.”

Well, Jean, while China’s size is important, its systematic abuse of its citizens’ human rights is an issue that shouldn’t be ignored. Also, since you think size matters so much, you might have considered that the shear scale of China’s abuse would make bringing it up all the more important. And comparing this with meddling in the affairs of a Saskatchewan premier (who is not similarly abusing his citizens) is apples and pumpkins.

Speaking to reporters afterward Mr. Chrétien continued his fusillade: “We are at the bottom of the ladder in terms of having any influence with China,”

… were he still prime minister, he “would not have hesitated for a second” to attend an Olympic games that obviously mean so much to Chinese national pride.

So, Canada is “too small a global player” and “at the bottom of the [influence] ladder” yet the his attendance at the Olympics would “mean so much“. You can’t have it both ways, Jean.

He specifically defended his own record as prime minister, saying … “Some people who say I never mentioned human rights – they are completely wrong.”

C’mon, Jean, didn’t you just say: “Oh really?” … “You want me to the tell the president of a country of 1.3 billion people you should do this and do that…“?

Anyway, isn’t it bad form for a former PM to publicly bad-mouth a sitting PM? JC, why don’t you just shut your pie hole!

Just right

I remember talking to a boom operator after Chretien was in Winnipeg as PM about 7 years ago. He complained that no one could understand the guy and he had to follow him and listen to him mumble for hours. He wasn’t happy. Talk about a lousy day at work can you imagine.

It’s also why if you read quotes from Chretien that they always added words that the mental giant was unable to come up with on his own. So the grammar could get this make sense. They will often summarize his writings too. He said,….

If it’s not in quotes it’s probably not really understandable.

I’m glad he had a few parts that were.

“We are at the bottom of the ladder in terms of having any influence with China,”

This has nothing to do with the liberal party of Canada.

I like how Jean says you have to go to China because they are a big country thats rich from a guy who said his entire foreign policy was based on doing the opposite of what the Americans wanted.

Why one is short sighted and the other not I do not know. I like how Chretien claims he mentioned human rights.

Chretien didn’t attend Lillehammer, Nagano, Sydney and Salt Lake City, yet has the nerve to berates PM Harper for not going to Peking.

International Olympic Comittee, stifling free speech,

Obama’s lawyer has sent a second letter to the Justice Department calling for the head of Dallas billionare Harold Simmons, who funded the Ayers ad that the Obama campaign doesn’t want the public to see.I posted AIP’s rebuttal here yesterday. And as I’ve noted today and will note again: Obama has some nerve whining about campaign finance integrity after getting caught hiding $800,000 in ACORN payments.

What’s going on? Simple: The Left has its George Soros sugar daddy and can’t stand that conservatives have their own committed benefactors. They’ve got a massive non-profit infrastructure funded with taxpayers and operating flagrantly in an illegal, partisan manner (hello, ACORN Watch!). They want the playing field all to themselves. And they are fighting for that turf by any means necessary.

Can they do it?

No, they can’t. Not if you don’t let them.

Michelle Malkin

Now we know that he will be ok with free speech when in office right if this is alllies say that dude and it will make Simmonds look like an arse.

Barack Obama meet William Ayers, oh wait you did already

Harold Simmonds see my paypal! Make me dance, oh wait it’s not a pretty site.

I thought it was cute.

26 August 2008
Four men entered the home of Jensen Young in St. Catharines, Ontario armed with machetes and guns with the intent to rob him. In the melee while apparently protecting his family Jensen shot one of the intruders, one 19-year-old Pedro Bello. Sad, because it appears that Pedro was a really nice guy when he wasn’t out breaking into peoples homes with guns and machetes:

She and friend Bri McLaughlin grew up with Bello, originally from Portugal, after he arrived at St. Nicholas elementary school.

Home invasions need like a 5 year sentrence if unarmed, more if you have a gun pedro, all the enriching diversity that will be missed. plus 2 of them seem to have issues with the law nothing that liberals can’t handle with more hugs.

Jonathan Whalen, 21, Jesse May, 19, and Darvin Argueta, 23, all of St. Catharines, will appear by video in court Friday.

All three were charged with robbery with a firearm, break, enter and commit an indictable offence, and forcible confinement.

Whalen was also charged with failing to comply with a probation order and possession contrary to order.

May faces an additional charge of failing to comply with recognizance of bail and possession contrary to order.

PS Dude is it hot down there?

I’m posting this so you can see how dangerous letting them run the country is. hope I removed all the names except mine.

I could smash it up line by line yet I think I’d have more sanity issues than a Cthluthu investigator. Never mind the tax dollars the so called reporter suck out of taxpayers that could have gone for more tanks or doctors, instead we get government funded left wing agitators.

First my response,

———————————————————————————–

Good grief[typical liberal]I will not go through all of this the parts I skimmed were painful enough, Yes the courts deserve political scrutiny because of abortion, homosexual marriages, extradition, …..

On these and many more our courts have set the law or some have attempted to get them to, not the house of commons. If they are the final arbiters of policy in a democracy they deserve scrutiny.

They want to change the charter to add unwritten words then it is important that they be picked over with a fine toothed comb if they have more power than the federal cabinet, and they do. They struck down Mulrooneys abortion legislation because they are our rulers.

Or you don’t want democracy,

There was no way the Libs could put up a tent and find it packed with Oil execs inside of 20 minutes! Well done to you guys!

Ha, ha, ha,What kind of baloney is that [typical liberal]?? What are you thinking when you wrote that?

You know Chretiens daughter had close ties to petrofinaelf the largest oil company in Saddam Husseins Iraq, yes us staying out was probably because of the oil. Liberals can’t fill a tent with oil execs?

Sorry dude LPoC owns the tent.

Former Canadian Prime minister Jean Chretien has been named a special advisor to the board of directors of PetroKazakhstan, the company announced in a press release this week.

Sure the CBC might not carry that, like they would if it was Harper but there it is. Now let me get this right you were saying that the guy who is or was president of an oil company and who was PM a few short years ago has no connections to oil execs. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,what is this a CBC town hall of far left moonbats professing to represent real Canadians, maybe in their delusional world? This is old ground right [typical liberal], how many times do I have to send essentially the same email? Jean Chretien and Petrokhazakhstan, I’ve sent it before. Search your feelings luke you know this to be true….Why are you so forgetful is it something to do with syringes? Feel free to resume jumping up and down typical liberal. Good grief, I feel bad doing this to you but since you refuse to take me off your email list. And since the spam filter doesn’t work when people I want email from reply to me…..Though I think this is funny enough to post at my lil blog.You are right about the money though since the CPC went pro death I haven’t given them a dime.

Leaves me more for my slums in river heights.

I had to cancel my membership people kept paying it for me even now they want me to help out in the next election, of course the Liberals call you too right [typical liberal]?

I should point out I was coerced into being in this photo by mean spirited types, meanies.

This was before MR Petro Kazakhstan got the oil gig at this point only his daughter France was in big oil, in Iraq hence us not showing up for the war well that and the oblivion of the forces. Luckily Canadian MSM’s buried that for their comrades in arms of the liberal party.

On the issues of funding for the Arts, on Tony Clement’s Neanderthal take on free needle drug programsWell re the arts if you can call dead rabbits and thrown buckets of paint mixed with bodily fluids art Harper did increase the funding for some stupid reason. 9% or something. I would rather spend the money on the forces somewhere. Maybe we could send them to afghanistan to paint it by throwing buckets of paint,…. because the last thing we need is more spent on the military or even more doctors. We need more people who produce crap and call it art that only taxpayers would pay for.

“A neanderthal take on drug needle programs“????? Like [typical liberal] do you show up at AA meetings with a pallet covered with 24’s of beer? That would be the same thing and as mental,…

Do you care the ruin these people wreak on those around them as well as themselves. Of course you do not. All needle exchanges do is make a problem worse.

In Africa they chain you to a bed for 3 months to get over it; here Liberals promote your self destruction. I guess it makes them feel better even if it accomplishes nothing and thats the crux. It accomplishes nothing yet it does make things worse.

Maybe they could have needle exchanges in daycares after hours to prevent urban sprawl.

Now where’s some clean bottles of Jack Daniels there has to be an AA meeting on somewhere those guys need some clean glasses. Remember to do anything else is Neanderthalish….Now I wonder if the neanderthals went extinct because of a needle exchange programs? Because stoping them was cro magnonish.

[typical liberal]’s original email with no stupidity edited out. Get yer barf bucket, ready

Polish feelings towards Russia… Have a look at Polish history - the occupation of Poland in the 18th century - then count the number of rebellions til 1918, then add the Polish-Russian wars (which Poland won - and officers of which were particularly rounded up by Red internal security troops), add in 1939.. then add in 1944, when the Home Army was willing to cooperate and was rounded up (the memorial stone in Lublin Castle here - used by the gestapo and then the Russian Internal Security chappies lists the last execution of Home Army personnel as 1963)…then there’s the Warszawa Uprising, and post-war looting and repayments. Read about Kaliningrad and the cooperative spirit with Poland about access to Polish waters.. oh and add-in another wonderful Russian legacy: Chernobyl.. cancer rates are quite high here…. Then there’s the Russian mafia… the non-return of Polish art treasures… Basically, the opinion is “Thank-you very much… please stay on your side of the border”. I doubt anyone wants the return of the grey, dreary days of being allied to USSR/Russia - a good description of which, can be found in P.J. O’Rourke ”Holidays in Hell”
