Considerations by Gary Hambley
My emotional heartfelt reworking of a song in to a parody is at the end of what I have to say. Those of you who are of my semi advanced age, I think you’ll very much appreciate it!
All links open up in a new tab or window. Most of them are to others pieces I’ve written.
The killing of John Ridsdel in The Philippines. When there has been a significant event I like to take a day or two to get a feel and have a look at the responses and feelings that accompany the event.
Canadians are once again up in arms with a lot of anger and disdain directed at Justin Trudeau. O’ Canada has been paying attention and sounding off!
Mr Ridsdel is indeed a casualty of war. There are no innocents or civilians for our opponents. The sooner people, beginning with Justin Trudeau accept such the better the situation will become.
Using the true words rather than being emotionally controlling isn’t from what I’ve seen something Justin Trudeau is capable of. All the world’s a stage right Trudeau?
You cannot pay ransom. I have much that I find abhorrent with the current tail in the big chair in Ottawa. Not paying the ransom is one of the few things this poster child for “the emotional complex” has done right. Realistic observation says had Trudeau come out in favour of paying the ransom he’d of, most probably had a caucus and country wide revolt on his hands.
To be fair there are things we the public aren’t privy to. We shouldn’t be because it could be a detriment to getting our people back safely. I’m certain our American friends and other allies would have helped with at the very least intelligence if they were asked.
I’m seeing some media chatter (Toronto Star) about growth as a Leader in Trudeau’s response to the killing of John Ridsdel. I don’t see it and not for one second do I buy it! Trudeau isn’t completely senseless and I’m pretty certain his survival instincts kicked in. What I always keep in mind with this guy is that he is an actor.
Look at Trudeau’s statement after Burkina Faso (if the pilot fish that are Butts and Telford haven’t revised it to suit) and look at Dion’s. What does that tell you? Previously Trudeau got ripped and rightfully so for saying he knows the root of terror. Even after this incident in The Philippines he has not recanted that position so what does that tell you?
Justin Trudeau has a lot of explaining to do beginning with his advisor brother. Junior has to explain why he didn’t recuse himself when his brother sent letter to the Liberals asking that deportation of a terrorist be stayed.
I keep seeing the terms “senseless” used by Trudeau to describe the killings around the world. I also keep seeing him use the term, “civilians”. Why hasn’t he learned and why doesn’t he recognize and why doesn’t he acknowledge what so many others know? This Islamic Ideology sees no innocents and allows no civilians.
The battle plan to turn the world in to an Islamic Theocracy isn’t a secret. This plan of attack has been around since the mid 600’s. This is simple stuff. All you have to do to know and understand the plan whether you be Secular or Religious is go read.
Go look at the ideology. They will steal children for indoctrination. The ideology allows no civilians. The ideology demands disinformation.
Go read about these 4 things. A real good look at the ideology that is driving these perfectly sensible attacks around the world.

While you’re at it take a look at how their book was contrived by one person to instill order, fear, allowable atrocities and genocide.

And then there is the religion of peace’s killing. The Christian killings are there too.
http://markhumphrys.com/islam.killings.html
Understanding what the plan is and being highly concerned doesn’t make you an Islamophobic. It doesn’t make you an Islamophobic despite how much emotional control someone like say, Justin Trudeau wants to exert on you. Expressing your concerns and fears doesn’t make you a phobic anything. It is in, like all things, how you deal with a fear that determines whether or not you’re phobic.
After the Paris attacks during the height of the uproar from Canadians regarding Syrian refugees there was a poll done. The poll was done with the Liberals trying to meet a number they devised to be in Canada by a certain date.
The poll showed 66% of the people, Canadians said yes to accepting refugees and to slowing the influx down and making sure all possible checks were done to ensure to the best of ability that terrorists didn’t make it to Canada.
Nothing Islamophobic there. What is there is a healthy respect for the situation and wanting the time taken to do things right. Damn good plan to my mind!
Justin Trudeau is a manipulator and he learned from a real good one in his father. Most politicians are to a degree manipulators and that is understandable, even acceptable.
I don’t buy in to the shut up and take it because by speaking up you’re offending the giver of the message or some other person(s)!
Expressing feelings is called, “Emotional Presence” and that is good. When you express you can deal with what you are feeling.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Be courteous until provoked. There has been much to provoke the people by Prime Minister Feminist including him saying everyone should be a Feminist.
I don’t see the unnecessary provoking of Canadians by Trudeau 2.0 stopping anytime soon. Why? Because Justin Trudeau doesn’t know how not to provoke. Justin Trudeau apparently doesn’t know how to read and recognize either!
Enjoy my parody!

Lets begin with The Toronto Star is a Liberal propaganda page. In all fairness right?
I swear the Star only takes the odd shot at Prime Minister Feminist so the Star can say they are presenting all sides when they really don’t.
This is the story that ran in, “The Toronto Star” on April 19, 2016. The link opens in a new tab. Canada’s news media are contributing to mistrust of Muslims
John Honderich and John Cruickshank like to have their publication tell people how they should think and feel. This makes John Honderich and John Cruickshank emotionally controlling. Trying to exert Emotional Control is wrong on so many levels! If they didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be happening.
Former Toronto Star Columnist “Haroon Siddiqui” calling Post Media “Black”. Gee this makes me think of a few questions? “Do you want the Columnist job back” is one. Throw a few shots in at rivals and you are looking good!
No where in the story does “Siddiqui” address the factors impacting the Non-Muslim. He wants those that are not of the Muslim faith to, “Don’t find excuses to attribute crimes by Muslims to their religion. Use the same standard for them as for other people.”
No where in the story does Siddiqui show empathy or understanding for anyone but Muslims. You want it you gotta give it, and he doesn’t.
In the story it says a tiny minority, a few dozen in Canada wear the niqab. I live in the core of Toronto, I’m not buying the statement of a few dozen nation wide. I am not buying the statement made by the writer of the story. What I see when I extrapolate and add in probability theory makes me believe different.
Hey if you wanna seal yourself for whatever reasoning suits you, I really don’t care. In the winter, to my mind, makes damn good sense! So this isn’t a year round issue cuz we not of Islam do the same thing when we venture outside in winter.
I do care about the ability to identify people that have committed a crime. Come on folks, we can’t be chopping off a hand from everybody we can’t identify just to be sure the perpetrator is punished now can we.
Islam is a Theocracy. I’m reasonably certain if certain Christian Fundamentalists could get away with it they’d want a Theocratic society as well. The Islamic Republic of Iran is an example of the Theocracy. Saudi is an Absolute Monarchy and not a Theocracy. North Korea is an Autocracy.
I get it that it isn’t all Muslims. Just like it wasn’t all Germans, Japanese or Russians. I get it.
I also get that there are Muslims fighting against those that want the world turned in to their Theocratic way. I thank you for the job you are doing against that oppression!
What is the difference with Islam? The difference is that Islam is not a country. There are no easily recognizable borders. For some the niqab or the head scarf stand as the uniform, the border between us and them. Not a surprise and not a secret. And yes, not right.
The story notes there many kinds of Muslims. Fair enough there are many kinds of Christians too.
Lets define what it is that has many wondering, thinking possibly, or flat out believing any and every Muslim is, if not active wants the world as an Islamic Theocracy.
These are all things a goodly number of people that are not Muslim know and the things we know are of legitimate concern to those that like their heads just where they are.
Something else we infidels wonder is this, “why would a Muslim care”? No matter how it goes the Muslim will be here. If anyone can lay a bigot tag on that thought with what is going on in the world then I have to believe you’re looking to be controlling and shut people up.
If you are Muslim and cannot empathize with the “why would a Muslim care” statement then you either just don’t care because you’re good either way, or you want that Theocracy.
Education, “The Taqiyya”. That document makes it permissible with the expectation to lie. Apparently Islam allows no civilians either. If you are aware of these things how can you not question?
Non Muslims see a well documented ideological plan that has been around for about 1500 years. They see that ideological plan being enacted.
The plan has both hard and soft tactics. The attempt to gain Sharia Law for divorce here in Ontario that was quashed a soft tactic. There are 2 cases, one in Ontario and one in The Philippines where those convicted of terror are appealing because they were not tried under the law of the Quran also soft tactics.
Changes in Law, both are tactics to establish a foothold for that Ideological Theocratic Society in other places around the world.
Secular and religious alike, go read about these 4 things. A real good look at the ideology that is driving these perfectly sensible attacks around the world.
The Verses Of Violence.
The Taqiyya
That Zakat can fund Jihad.
Taharrush
My personal position is that all the religious books are manmade and not heaven sent.
Take a look at how the book of Islam was contrived by one person to instill order, fear, allowable atrocities and genocide.
http://www.harvardhouse.com/quran_purity.htm
And then there is the religion of peace’s killing. The Christian killings are there too.
http://markhumphrys.com/islam.killings.html
We of no faith and those of “Other Faiths” are cognizant of those things. The plan is there to be viewed by any who care to take the time.
I have never seen a Muslim show that understanding and I should have. I trust everyone got that when I said, “I haven’t seen it”. Muslims give it voice and recognition. Let those not of Muslim faith know you understand and care about the concerns.
Y’all gotta read. The information is there to be had if you look to multiple sources and read.
I’ll say it again. I know it isn’t every Muslim involved in that ages old plan. To some though, it seems that there are those of the Muslim faith aren’t doing nearly enough to help.
I’m tired of the emotionally controlling trying to shut people down to serve their own agenda.
Honest and open and understanding dialogue to lead us to an honest and open and understanding world that has freedom of religion and freedom from religion!

One of my FB friends had this image posted on their page. This friend is an American. Except for the distinct lack of taste in choice of NFL team to be fanatical about, a damn good guy.
Quite the statement by an American isn’t it? A true Red, White and Blue to the bottom of his heart American.
You can see what I said in the comment field on my friend’s page. The word in Russian is, “Thank you”.
Wasn’t that long ago wishing the Russians or Soviets if you prefer anything good, well a week on the wrong side of the fence at Gunatanamo would have probably been a more palatable option to many Americans.
They’re talking about Syria here.
I’ve read some on the turmoil there. Made a few comments myself. What I’ve gleaned recently and with all the disinformation I don’t know how much I can really believe. What I’m getting, feeling, thinking is that in this conflict to some degree, the U.S. of A is fighting the Russians. and vise versa.
One thing I do know is that to many Americans before the fall, Russia and the USSR were the same thing.
I had actually moved this piece in to the trash. Wouldn’t you know about 5 minutes after I trashed it I saw something that made me retrieve this.
I saw that the Russians buzzed a US Navy Destroyer. This is pure stupid shit!
This is the mindset and behaviour that has to stop. Both Super Powers know better than this.
Peeing in the other guys soup just cuz. The mentality of a 6 year old on the playground. Someone “screws the pooch” when this thumbing of noses is going on and the world is going to have bigger problems than it already has.
While Russia and the USA are sorting out the mess that didn’t have to happen, those other problems will have an opportunity to grow and flourish.

What you are seeing is commentary I left on a story of today’s date. The story is something that has been going on since Canada’s election in October.
Controversies that didn’t have to happen are still going on and will go on because of grandstanding (which I consider a seriously stupid action) by our new Prime Minister.
Putting people at odds, what a wonderful way to begin for a new leader.
What I’ve commented ties to this story:
Interim Conservative Leader Ambrose Year End
Do the best thing you can do for yourself and others, read and be informed.

About a week ago I saw one of those FB Quiz listings and the quiz would tell me what words I’ve used most on FB.
It is about words and has a natural appeal to me. I clicked in and the new tab opens to the pretty much usual log on with FB and what FB data you have that you’ll be allowing the app to access.
I have my parameters set pretty tight and I really don’t care if anyone knows my name and what city I live in. Hell I promote those things myself with my online presence. I have two WordPress sites. This one for my more personal commentary on things I find that I feel belong separate from my poetry, art and coaching. Someone or entity wants to promote those sites for me, hey thanks!
My settings are tight and where I go, not many if any come with me. You take me with you on your internet excursions and those looking to follow you back and in to others aren’t going to have a lot of success with me.
With what this app does, it should be self evident as to what it is going to search to build the word list it returns.
The app ran it’s query and returned a blank. I screen captured the return and had a little fun with a friend who is also a teacher. We’d had an exchange about playing a word game. I sent my friend the screen capture and friend responded, “I can’t see them”.
I said, “That’s the point … there aren’t any to see … it returned none”. Friend got a kick out of that and me saying even FB won’t play word games with me.
You can see the screen shot and the bad sentence the app returns as well. The arrow and words in red are my addition to the screen capture. No I didn’t share it on FB.
Today I saw a story on this app in the Toronto Star stating the quiz is a privacy nightmare. This is the headline, “Don’t take quiz that’s a ‘privacy nightmare, tech writer warns”. The piece is a good one and well worth the few minutes of your time to read it.
The entity the story notes has a number of quiz topics and I know this because I went and searched on the named entity. If you care to search out more on the entity you’ll find there name in the story.
Take the time to delve in to your settings on any social media sight and understand exactly what you are making allowable.
Bottom line is this, when you allow access you are not just giving up yourself which should be more than enough consideration, you could also be giving up access to others.
One more thing before I close this off. This is a social media site and I’d be pleased and thankful if you share it around! You can also find me at transitionu.

November 25, 2015.
I have days where I’m just not feeling very well. This is one of those days. I have difficulty getting things to flow and it frustrates me. When I have days like this where everything I write is taking to long and I find myself overly critical of style and the coherence of what I write, those are the days where I’m best able to exercise my intelligent donkey.
Today I got an age slap too. Forty years ago today Springsteen was on the cover of Time and Newsweek. Talk about having your ass thrown in to a retrospective! Said to a friend that when I was 40 I felt like 25 with something odd going on. I also said “CCR, creaky crotchety reprobate”.
I’m coming in to one of my coffee spots today and I see a woman with a very pinched look on her face go by carrying a broom handle. I’m congratulating myself for not asking her how long it took to get the stick out of her butt.
It’s good to have duality and today I’m both Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets.
Normally my Muppet spirit is Floyd. Now Floyd is very laid back and cool. Statler and Waldorf not so much.
So off I go out poking around and looking at stuff, FB, LinkedIn, my news feeds, etc, and look for things that I can feed to my donkey. Makes me happy and enlightens others.
If your current state of mind is open to the enjoyment of some of what I encountered and my commentary, keeping in mind of course that it is me, carry on. If you’re not open to such, now would be a darn good time to just click off. A euphemism? I’d never do such a thing. Just so you know, the opposite of a euphemism is a dysphemism.
And I said

Statler & Waldorf from Blogspot.com
LinkedIn has managed to creep me out with their new Lookup app. They did a good job of ticking me off previously as I noted in a previous post.
My original thought was to spin this a little different. When I got the email and read through the announcing of LinkedIn Lookup my first response was a creepy kind of disbelieving laughter followed by the; “are you kidding me” kind of laughter.
This is how LinkedIn introduced Sarah and LinkedIn Lookup with pictures.
LinkedIn invited me to meet Sarah and I thought it be a good idea if I introduced Sarah to a good friend of mine. I had no idea they’d already met and neither knew that I knew them both, separately. Perfect recipe for disaster huh guys? You can be certain my ears will be burning because you know how women gossip when they get together.
When I introduced Sarah to my friend I said a few other things as well. I can even repeat some of them.
This is what my friend had to say about Sarah and I’m hoping with all my heart Sarah doesn’t find out because I wouldn’t want that dear, dear, misguided soul to think I was an unfeeling cad*.
There was one other thing my friend said, “Don’t keep Sarah late; it’s her turn to pay!”
I’m thinking Sarah will be paying large for this projects failure.
I’m thinking my friend is going to be hearing a lot of whining when they meet for cocktails.
I’m thinking there was more whining about the chipped nail than the missing minions.
I’m thinking my friend wasn’t really surprised when Sarah didn’t see the underlings as co-workers
I’m thinking the last pour will be on my friend and it’ll be Sarah in to a cab.
I’m proud of my friend for not leaving Sarah passed out in the lounge’s bathroom.
I hope the cocktail lounge had Sarah’s corporate credit card and my friend didn’t get stuck with the tab.
I’m especially happy my ears weren’t burning so thank you Sarah.
I am not a conspiracy theorist or a paranoid. Let me tell you though, something like another app such as LinkedIn’s Lookup that is designed to track you could get me going to that side of the conspiracy and paranoia fence right quick.
And wouldn’t you know it, as I’m working on this; another request has come in asking me to “participate” in access. This access request, it comes from … Microsoft.

*Cad is not gender specific.
I was poking around this morning. Usual get the day going stuff, coffee, email, coffee, news feeds, coffee, you get the idea. Saw a goodie by a friend on FB and left a comment. I decided to bring it up here and the giggles picture image is at the end.
Recently I smacked someone so hard they pulled the comment they had made in favour of a piece on LinkedIn off the piece. At the time I didn’t make a comment directly at the author. I had my anger and disgust noted and hey I had no clue you could pull a comment off and the comments made against that comment would go with it.
The author of the piece has now been smacked by me and if you’d care to go see what this individual wrote, be my guest. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/homosexualy-bible-christian-counsellor-george-sukhdeo?trk=mp-reader-card
This is what I left as comment for the author today.
You disgust me. Your kind disgust me. What ever possessed you to ask to get on my contact list I do not know and do not care to know.
I smacked the one proponent you had so hard with what I said that person pulled their comment off. So much for the courage of your convictions. There are to my mind two possible reasons that person pulled their comment.
1. Coward.
2. They were told to get it down by a 3rd party whose attention I brought the comment to which in actuality brings us back to reason number 1.
I’ll tell you what I told that other disgust me individual who pulled their comment off your piece after I had left comment for them.
1. God must have wanted me to see this piece of filth because here I am.
2. I am closer to God than you are and this is why. https://transitionu.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/how-i-know/
3. God has parents. https://transitionu.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/god-has-parents/
Part of the reason my friend laughed, friend knows I do it.
On Street Parking
Going to start this off with an individual that was looking to park outside one of my coffee spots. The individual parks and gets out and looks to see if they have got the vehicle in between the lines. To be helpful I tell the person when they got out they are not in the spot. This person hasn’t got the vehicle between the lines in any way. The car is to far off the curb along with about 2/3 of the vehicle beyond the marked spot. The person decides to chance it. Buys and places their ticket on the dash and leaves. Thing is, there is no wiggle room for parking enforcement on this parking violation! Why? Because the dumb asses car, and the dumb ass knew it, is parked to close to a FIRE HYDRANT.
The epitome of parking stupidity was one I saw a few days prior to the one above. Dodge SUV parked right beside the hydrant with a payment ticket on the dash. Also on the dash was a handicap permit. Yup, the Dodge couldn’t dodge the ticket and I’m certain owner of the SUV had a small cow when they returned and saw the ticket.
You do these things and you deserve the ticket. Especially the ones with the over inflated sense of entitlement.
Feel free to add to this in the comments if you got a dandy we can all laugh at!
What kind of freakazoid takes the only thing on the menu with bacon off that menu and doesn’t replace it with something else with bacon? This is just wrong!
Coffee spots I go to are part of a chain. There was a sandwich on the menu that had turkey with 3 strips of peppered bacon and it was my favourite. The sandwich had tomato and cheese too. All of this on a Ciabatta style bun. Damn good sandwich it WAS! I would eat a couple of those sandwiches a week and on the odd occasion, three in a week.
The Turkey with Peppered Bacon seemed to be the most popular sandwich as well. I’d reached the point where if I knew I was going to be at the coffee spot for a while, I’d snag one of those delights and have one of the elves bag it and tag it with my name for later.
Everyone and I mean everyone knows that Bacon is one of the 4 food groups. For those of you that don’t know, the 4 food groups are “Bacon”, “K.D.”, “Chocolate” and “MORE BACON”.
Those 6 to 9 strips of bacon every week were my weekly ration. Now I have to find another place to get my bacon fix. I am so not pleased!
They still have Turkey on the menu. Turkey & Pesto for a warm sandwich. Turkey & Havarti as the cold sandwich. Elf offered to warm up the Turkey & Havarti for me but the bread looked like store bought brownish bread and I wasn’t chancing it.
Fortunately we got the St. Lawrence Market pretty much next door to one coffee spot so on Saturday I’m pretty sure I know where I’ll be getting a sandwich with bacon.
There is one more thing before I close this off. I’m reasonably certain the same freakazoid that killed my favourite sandwich is responsible for the removal of the “White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie” from the menu at the same time.
I don’t know who had to sign off on these changes but when I find out, I’m borrowing my friend’s crystal that turns people in to pickles and that person is gonna be topping for my Cheese Burger in Paradise!
