An Undying Call for Olympic Fanatics?
By Concerned Citizens of Canada

 

Let your mind be freed from queries. Let your voice be heard everywhere. Aren’t you sick and tired of what’s happening to our surroundings regarding the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics? Lobbying, rallying and boycotts may not be enough to get the attention of the VANOC officials and its elite groups and the greedy and unethical government officials of British Columbia. We have been continuously fooled by these people with their non-reliable and non-existing figures that they used to published in every corners of the mass media.
If you people of Canada are more concern of what will and may happen in the future. On what will and may be the effect to the majority, not only for those people living in the skidrow area of East Vancouver but also for those average families. We are asking you to voluntarily participate in a “MASS CONSCIOUSNESS BRIGADE“, the power of our mind is very effective to use as our weapon to fight this elite group back. The power of intent is a powerful tool to change the weather on 2010. Yes, Vancouver Olympics may happen but if we will join together by using our mind there maybe a huge mass disruption in the outdoor events. We will be having a mild weather in the Whistler area. With these, it will be a great failure to the VANOCs and its allies and a big humiliation to the whole world.
It is effective! This power of the mind has been proved in the year 1998 of July at Northeast of Florida when they were hit by a drought conditions. Upon using the Mass Consciousness they were able to have a downfall of rains. And it was a success!
So people of Canada, let’s give ourselves a chance. We can prove this to everybody. We can make a difference! We can do it!

Tina you said :

"The probem in Vancouver is that council has been infiltrated with the friends of those who gets millions upon millions of tax dollars to keep these people sick, its called the junkie or poverty industry...keep em sick and where they are at and there is a lot of money to be made...once again, it won't stop until the people who pay the big bucks to live downtown get fed up enough.Just getting ready for 2010 Vancover Games."

The mayor and council decided once they were elected that they would end homelessness in our city.
They come up with an initiative called HEAT, which called for opening low barrier shelters all over town for homeless people.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING.

It really shows just how they have absolutley no clue about the problems surrounding the homeless situation, or the psyche of the homeless people.

Most have no life skills, they find navigating life a challenging and difficult task. As a result, most are selfish and self centered to the core and getting their needs met is all tha matters. They really don't care if they are shooting up in front of your children or crapping in the alley beside your building.

I used to be homeless/addicted and I could have cared less about you....my life, like most of theirs, was driven by a desire to get drugs, EVERYTHING else came second and once I had enough drugs to satisfy me for the moment, I really didn't care about you, your family or whether you paid taxes or were upset by my behaviour.

Self centerdness is at the core of addiction...

SO how does city council come up with this equation that they will just inject these people into an upscale community and the residents will just accept the behaviour that comes with homelessness and addiction....if the people from false Creek wanted to see that crap everyday they could get a room at the Balmoral and watch it daya and night.

The answer isn't to give the homeless no barrier (no rules) housing, it is a recipe for disaster. The answer is to individually access to homeless, find out exactly what their problem is and deal with it.

For any of us that were hopelessly addicted and homeless and now have a decent life, the first thing we had to do was get off the drugs.....for some reason the city and council believes the answer is to give this populations housing with no rules and places all over town where they can get free government provided drugs and facilities that helps them to use their drugs.

The worst thing to do is give addicts what they want because you can never give them enough and they will abuse what you do give them, whether it is drugs, shelter or whatever.

Since the city started this "hARm reduction" kick, three mayors ago, we have witnessed the problem grown and now start to mushroom out of the DTES.

While they say they care, their actions suggest the opposite, the misery and suffering is greater than I have ever seen in all my years, I had to do to the DTES the other day and I could feel misery and grief like never before......saw an open air drug market with police walking about doing nothing, ofr all intents and purposes drugs are legal on the DTES.

Unless they start to hold addicts accountable and force them to treatment with consequnces if they don't go, unless people that can, are made to work for their welfare money so they start to appreciate nothing is free, nothing will change....BUT above all, unless the citizens get get together and say enough is enough...not because we are mad at the homeless and addicted, because we want the best for them and what the government is giving them just insures they stay stuck in the rut of homeless and addiction.

I guess I'm hoping for a miracle, because the government is hell bent of having us believe addicts and homeless people can't change....when in fact they can do amazingly well when held accountable for their actions and having some consequences attached to not wanting to change and being a drain on society.

The probem in Vancouver is that council has been infiltrated with the friends of those who gets millions upon millions of tax dollars to keep these people sick, its called the junkie or poverty industry...keep em sick and where they are at and there is a lot of money to be made...once again, it won't stop until the people who pay the big bucks to live downtown get fed up enough.Just getting ready for 2010 Vancover Games.

2010 Awaking!


People of all nations, it’s time for us again to fight back. We don’t need high explosives or heavy devices. We only need “MASS CONSCIOUSNESS”, the power of mind intent. This is the most effective way to prove our worth. This is a tool to change weather patterns. Yes, February 2010 will be rainy, foggy and windstorms may occur warm weather to southern coastal regions of British Columbia if we will join together using our mind. We could completely wash-out 2010 Winter Olympic Organizers and its allies. This will be a great humiliation to the whole world!

Opps, keep a lid on this................People living in and around the Olympic Villaga are getting sick..................strange unknown illness...........many are moving out of apartments down in that area. Seems something toxic at the Olympic Village site deep in the ground has been disturbed! A lids been put on it by health officals in Vancouver. That part of Vacouver is built on industrial toxic waste dumps from years gone by, Who knows whats down in the ground in that area. Could even be reminance of nerve gas chemicals made in Vancouver during the first and second world wars. You won't hear this news in the mainstream media. Now you know what they don't want the public to know. You have to do some researvh on companies that occupied those spots sixty years ago. Do some hunting and you might be shocked by what you find. Look at some old photos do some research on who made what on those sites years ago. You'll see some nasty stuff was dumped in the area! It's all still in the ground waiting for victims one it's disturbed again the clean up would cost billions the area is sour and toxic. The price will be paid but not until long after a handful have made off with a lot of cash! More deceiving the taxpayer!

If they are "carded" Olympians then they get money annually from the government as well as money from companies who write it off against taxes guess who has to make it up???? US!!!
Yes elite what else? Many of our kids cannot afford to play sports while this bunch go from one world competition to another.

A couple of years ago Halifax tried to get the Commonwealth games and I became the lead opponent. While fighting the hype and Bulls**t they use to sell the Commonwealth games I found it was the same hype they use on thew Olympics. The result is the same. An event that is getting to be a bigger cost and a bigger yawn eac time and a debt that gets bigger each event. < replied-to message removed by QT >

What a load of rubbish. I've never heard of anyone slag an athletic event and encourage obesity. Why these Olympics and not past ones? I didn't hear anyone complaining about Calgary or Salt Lake or even Sydney. Is there something in the water here?

And I'd hardly call an athlete (outside of professional sports) as an "elite group". Unlike YOU, they've spent many years training to qualify for this event and were paid little or no money, all to represent our country.

Do us (the vast majority) a favour and stuff your fat face with more doughnuts.2010 Winter Games rocks stop bashing something of lifetime.

Loser Olympic-boosters like Leftie Basher make me want to reach for a brown paper bag & puke with disgust. He sneers down his nose at all who dare to disagree with his beloved Olympics, telling them to 'go jump off the Lions Gate Bridge'. Leftie Basher, take your self-righteous Olympic-boosting propaganda & shove it.

I knew these Games were going to be a DISASTER right from the start, and from all the reports of cost overruns, harassment of Games opponents (or even businesses with 'Olympic' in their name) by VANOC and police, not to mention the problems with Hwy 99 construction, it looks like British Columbians will be paying for these games for the next 20-30 years, just like Montreal in '76. The sleazy weasels in the government & business community don't want business picking up the tab; they want them to reap all the reward while sticking taxpayers with the tab. 4 years ago I walked away from BC because of Gordon Campbell and his stupid, reckless, irresponsible health care cutbacks so he could finance the Games & tax cuts for his wealthy pals. It's obvious it was the right thing to do. Even now, from across the Rockies in Alberta, I still know I will not support the Games in any way, shape or form; when they were announced I knew I would be making arrangements to leave BC for the duration. If Leftie Basher's so keen on the Games, he & his pals should pay for them themselves, not with my cash.

How many billions are spent world wide annually on games? The Olympics (Winter and summer) The Canadian Games (winter and summer) The Commonwealth Games. the Gay Games. The Handicapped games. The Pan Am Games, The Asian Games, The African Games, The European games. Just to mention a few. Also how many tax dollars are spent building arenas and stadiums for the spoiled brat millionaires that now make up our professional sports teams? Now if one country won all the gold medals at the next set of any of these games or a countries professionals won Basketball, Hockey, soccer and baseball would it cure one case of cancer? Get us any closer to a vaccine or cure for AIDS or Ebola or Hepatitis C? NO!
The Canadian Government recently made the grandiose gesture of committing 10 million dollars over the next 3 years towards research into a vaccine for swine flew. How much have the spent on the few elitist athletes who qualify as Olympians? In the 70's when a test for AIDS was perfected the Red Cross had blood product that was untested and the new safe tested product. The government refused to pay to destroy the untested stuff so the Red Cross shipped it to the Toronto's Sick Children's Hospital (it's all in the Krever report) as well in the 80's the government would not come up with another 10 million to screen the blood for Hep C like most of the rest of the world was doing with the resulting thousands of post transfusion infections we have. Obesity is a real problem in our young people yet there are schools without gym teachers and Phys Ed programs. Many can't afford or don't have local public sporting facilities yet we can spend billions a year on the select few. This has got to stop.
London is in the last stages of blowing over 20 billion on 2 weeks of summer games. Imagine if that had been put into medical research or local affordable sporting facilities across England?
It's time that these events were bought to an end. They do nothing for anybody except create debt and upheaval in the public's lives. If you need a 400,000,000 dollar stadium. build it don't blow 3 or 4 billion to get it. < replied-to message removed by QT >
