Gwynne Dyer, Sociopathy
7 February 2022
The Rise and Decline of Sociopathy
By Gwynne Dyer
I generally leave the psychohistory to Hari Seldon, but just this once I feel sufficiently motivated to venture into the field. The immediate spur for this departure is the spectacle – half-fascination, half-disgust – of Boris Johnson, Britain’s part-time prime minister, gradually foundering in a sea of his own lies. But there are other examples, too.
There was Donald Trump just a year and a bit ago, trying to drag an entire country down with him and having some success in the enterprise.
There’s Jair Bolsonaro, flailing around as he awaits almost inevitable defeat by ‘Lula’ in next October’s Brazilian election.
There’s Viktor Orban, astounded to face a united six-party opposition in Hungary’s April elections.
And what they have in common is that they are all liars. Not shy, sly liars. Bold, in-your-face, shameless liars. They don’t care if you really know the truth from personal experience. It doesn’t bother them that you know they are lying. They will just say the lie again – and you might even believe them, because they say it with such conviction.
They are convincing because after a split-second when they privately decide that some lie will serve their purpose, they actually believe it themselves. They have other markers, too: they are usually male, they are always intelligent, they are almost always charming, and they generally get through several spouses and many children in a lifetime. They are, in a word, sociopaths.
Almost all confidence trickster are sociopaths, but the reverse is not true. Sociopaths can also end in the highest positions in business, in the professions, even in politics. (Not so much in the military, where they tend to get found out early.) And in recent times, they have been showing up in the highest political offices in many countries. Why now?
Which takes me back to an interview I did with a sociologist in an American university many years ago. He had written an article about how evolution had shaped human marriage customs, which somehow fitted into some radio doc I was doing at that time. God knows.
Anyway, we had finished up, and as I packed my gear I casually asked if he knew of any evolutionary circumstances that were changing human behaviour now. He paused for a moment, then said that he thought the sociopaths were multiplying. So I unpacked my gear and resumed the interview.
He began with the obvious statement that sociopathy is usually if not always a genetic property. Most sociopaths are born, not made. And he speculated on how they could have escaped being weeded out by natural selection back in the hunter-gatherer days, because those were small groups of people – thirty or forty adults – where everybody knew everybody else.
His answer was that small groups are not very vulnerable to a sociopath. Everybody has his number before he reaches reproductive age, so he can’t be a super-spawner. Everybody checks his lies with everybody else, so he doesn’t get away with much. And there are certain rare circumstances where it could be handy to have a sociopath around.
Hunter-gatherer bands are normally not just egalitarian but literally leaderless. However, little groups that can suddenly face existential crises – a famine, a rival band – need somebody in reserve who can provide ruthless, charismatic leadership. He’ll be almost an outcast in normal times, but one day you might need him, so don’t breed him out entirely.
All went well until human beings started living in societies thousands or millions strong where the sociopaths become invisible. Nobody has their number, and there’s an endless supply of strangers to deceive and exploit (and breed with).
A mass society is a sociopath’s garden of delights. Of course their numbers are going up: my sociologist friend reckoned 3% of males and rising. And of course they are appearing in leadership positions because they can lie directly and convincingly to far more people. (Mass media gave them a boost, but social media made them rocket-propelled.)
I checked, by the way. All four of the men listed above are daily, even hourly liars. They are male, fairly intelligent, and some people at least find them charming. They have all have five or more children (Johnson is at 7+), and all except Orban are currently on their third wives. Bingo!
But here’s the really interesting question: why are all these men now on their way out of power or already gone? That may be part of their sociopathy too, because they all leave trails of human wreckage behind them: cheated partners, abandoned lovers, betrayed followers. They can’t help it; it’s who they are.
So the good news may be that genuine sociopaths get found out in the end. The bad news, however, is that there’s lots more of them out there, and they’re breeding like flies.
Memoir of a Rural Sisyphus-Redux, Three Remembrances
Introduction
Memoir of a Rural Sisyphus-Redux
Bill Engleson
For several years, I kept a diary of my inauguration into the Denman Community. This column, recently renamed Memoir of a Rural Sisyphus-Redux, will
extract a few of my observations from a dozen or more years ago and share them. Hopefully, they will have some modern times currency.
Three Remembrances
July 25, 2007
As I write, I have returned from Willo Walker, my acupuncturist. I have a needle in my ankle and one in my ear. I am wearing a healing patch on my knee. I also have pills, salves, ointments, homemade regimens of hot and cold torture, my Dr Ho kit ( Dr. Ho offers an almost acceptable mini-electrocution therapy), and more. Jimmy (a community member no longer with us) mentioned this morning that my knee was quite swollen. In addition to his eyeball diagnosis and suggested cures, he said, “Getting old isn’t for sissies.”
How true.
Too bad I am a sissy. It’s not looking good.
August 10, 2007
I resist the diary if only because I am demolished by hip and knee pain and, really, why would anybody want to hear about my decrepit decline. I don’t even want to hear about it. I can barely discuss this shooting ache, this lingering torment with Willo, or my GP. If I am not interested in my decline, why would anyone else be?
Willo is convinced I need surgery on my torn meniscus. I think this is correct. I am on a waitlist to see an orthopedic surgeon. Two, actually. An acquaintance has suggested I should go the private route. I say no, I have my principles. I will not jump the queue. Especially because of my crappy knee and hip, but also because, if I am anything, I am a socialist. Okay. A social democrat. Splitting hairs…I will go kicking and screaming (well, screaming in pain for sure but my kicking capacity is inhibited these days by my wonky knee) to the grave before I will pay hard cash for something that the state is prepared to provide.
October 12, 2007
The Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard concert is tonight. Fake beer and real wine on the deck at 3:30 this afternoon. A fantastic fall day. Damn knee still hurts.
I have a cinnamon concoction from Willo.
I relish the occasional therapeutic brew.
Ah, life!
Some great folk music!
That’s it. Pain or not, I cannot, will not resist the concert tonight.
Letter to the Editor
Jesus and Reincarnation
In Jesus’ time, scholars from throughout the world came to study at the great library in Alexandria, Egypt – This included Buddhists from Afghanistan – India
(Alexander the Great had been there 350 years previous). It’s no secret Buddhists believe in reincarnation and evolution of the soul.
Jesus who could heal the sick, said “I am the son of man” and “as I am, so shall you be.”
Sounds like reincarnation and evolution of the soul to me.
I wonder why no-one else seems to come to this conclusion. Whether the story of Jesus is allegory or history: I couldn’t care less.
That said, reading the gospel of John – a two hour read certainly put a spring in my step.

Hornby Island Conservancy’s 6th Annual HerringFest
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 2, 2022
CONSERVANCY HORNBY ISLAND, CELEBRATING A WIN WITH DFO, ANNOUNCES THEIR 6TH ANNUAL HERRINGFEST
Conservancy Hornby Island releases tickets to the public for their 6th annual HerringFest to celebrate herring and discuss solutions for recovery of Pacific herring.
HORNBY ISLAND, BC – Conservancy Hornby Island (CHI) is going into their 6th annual HerringFest celebration with a sense of hope. In December 2021, Fisheries Minister Honourable Joyce Murray made an unexpected but welcome announcement of the closure of most Pacific herring fisheries on the west coast except for harvests by First Nations for food and ceremonial purposes. The Strait of Georgia commercial fishery has been reduced from 20% to 10% of the predicted spawning biomass. Although CHI views this as good news, there is still work to be done to better protect Pacific herring. CHI’s concerns are, is 10% harvest precautionary enough given changing ocean conditions and increasing needs of a wide variety of marine species and how will the livelihoods of fishers be protected?
CHI has urged the Minister to consider making herring recovery the priority at this time, rather than continuing an unsustainable fishery at all. What is needed is a truly ecological recovery plan, which implements scientific study of the resident herring, protection of herring habitat, consideration for First Nations rights, protection of livelihoods of fishers, and prey availability for the many marine species which rely on herring as a primary food source, such as resident orca, humpback whales and chinook salmon.
Conservancy Hornby Island is inviting the public to be part of this special opportunity to continue building momentum towards ensuring sufficient protection of Pacific herring and to celebrate the ecological spectacle that occurs annually on the Salish Sea known as the herring spawn, with their event: HerringFest 2022. Taking place from March 3rd-6th, HerringFest will feature:
Sea Life Boat Trips: educational, fun, and the best way to see herds of sea lions, hundreds of seabirds, spawning herring and possibly killer whales and humpback whales. This in-person event runs from March 2nd-4th & 6th-8th on Hornby Island. Tickets are by donation with a suggested donation of at least $20 per person. 25% of all boat trip donations will go directly towards CHI’s Herring Recovery Program.
Art Show & Sale: In conjunction with Hornby Arts, HerringFest will feature a “Let the Herring Live” themed art show and sale, which will be both in-person at the Community Hall, as well as online. Viewing begins March 3rd until the 6th, after which a catalogue of artworks will be available for sale on https://hornbyarts.com. Proceeds will be equally split with CHI and the artists. Artists can submit their work by emailing Juniper at juniper@hornbyarts.com.
Film Night: Tune in on ZOOM for Friday Night Film Night which will occur March 4th, from 7-9pm PST, and will feature an array of films about Herring Defence, such as Yáa at wooné/Respect for All Things by Louise Brady and Peter Bradley, Dance of the Herring and Why is the Salish Sea So Rich with Life? by Bob Turner, We are the Herring by Sam Rose Phillips, The Price of Fish by Mike Bhana, introduced by Dr. Evelyn Pinkerton, and Before the Beauty is Gone by Mackai Sharp.
Herring School: The final event of HerringFest 2022 will be Saturday Herring School, an interactive webinar on ZOOM at 9:30am-12:45pm PST on March 6th. Herring School will feature an array of guest speakers knowledgeable on research, activism, and conservation including Chief Eric Pelkey of the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nation, Saul ‘Hazil’hba Brown, who is from the Nuu-chah-nulth and Heiltsuk Nations and the founder of Y̓íḷbas Consultancy, Thomas Thornton, author of Herring and People of the North Pacific: Sustaining a Keystone Species, Herring Rabble Rouser Jim Shortreed, Ben Friedman, Head of Product at Wildtype, a producer of lab-grown fish, and Gord Johns, the NDP MP for Courtenay and Alberni. There will be a round table discussion with all speakers, and attendees will be able to interact with the speakers through the Q&A.
Tickets to the 6th Annual HerringFest are by donation and can be purchased at conservancyhornbyisland.org/herringfest2022.

Phoenix Riting! – February 3rd, 2022
A trucker convoy, on the face of it, is a terrible idea: those machines suck vast quantities of diesel and that raises red flags for me. For goodness sake, is it sponsored by the oil and gas industry? The views of the hardcore few are another glaring red flag. Still, I don’t believe in throwing the baby out, no matter how gross the bathwater. Many ordinary Canadians have joined with the truckers, and many more support them in spirit. Among the protesters, a high proportion are vaccinated but feel strongly enough about vaccine mandates to feel compelled to support this action. The mandates are the issue, not vaccinations.
It’s no small ordeal to drive across Canada in the depths of winter. I’ve done it, and I hope never again. What desperate power drives people to drive so far for an outdoor protest in bitter cold? It’s been two years, and rather than releasing, restrictions increase. Pressure has been building relentlessly, and collective emotions can’t take it. There is a fringe minority of extremists involved in this trucker convoy, and that sucks. But what should matter is the far larger core of citizens who have hit their limit, who are ready and desperate for change.
When people come together in solidarity, they feel uplifted and pressure is released. They gather, sing songs together and feel a part of something important. I can’t go so far as to unconditionally support the movement. I worry too much about forces that are intertwined and using people’s desperation to further their ends. But the people themselves are not wrong. Someone created an opening and desperate humans are flowing through it. I understand their feelings, and there are so many worse ways it could manifest. So far there have been zero incidents of violence and no arrests.
Canada is close to 90% vaccinated, but it seems nothing short of 100% will do. It is not possible to get 100% of humans to agree on anything. There will always be those who won’t, or can’t, submit to an injection they don’t feel safe with. Instead of finding or creating accommodations, the irresistible force (mandate that threatens livelihoods) is meeting the immovable object (“No one has the right to tell me what to do with my own body”). Vaccine mandates were meant to be a temporary measure, but they have gone on now for months with no end in sight. Is this the ‘new normal’? Are we meant to shut up and put up forever? It is no wonder people are on edge.
Here’s where it becomes a local issue. I’ve seen a few posts from Facebook friends, saying, “If you support this trucker convoy, please unfriend me now.” Everyone’s emotions are raw, and some are resorting to a kind of righteous absolutism, digging in and drawing lines in the sand. “Good people on this side, bad people on that side.” It makes me sad and tired. You can unfriend people on Facebook, but you can’t erase them from your community. What do you say to an unfriend when you meet in the produce department?
I won’t unfriend you. My ability to put myself in others’ places and perceive the world as they do helps me understand why people support the trucker convoy. It also helps me understand why others are so fed up and ready to be done with the ones who don’t comply. It all seems so simple and clear, when you are on the side of the ‘right’. If only everyone would comply with the rules, this could all be over soon! But the truth is, humanity isn’t a machine. We are organic, emotional and spiritual creatures, and while many try, others simply can’t and won’t comply with a heartless, mechanical way of living, no matter how efficient it may be at keeping us safe. We spill over and out the sides. We react and act out. We weren’t built for this kind of life.
On the other side of all of this, I pray we find a better, more humane and inclusive way to live as a society and as a community.
What do you think of all this? I would love to hear from you! Email me at phoenixonhornby@gmail.com.

JANUARY 21, 2022 – CRITIQUE ON ISLANDS TRUST DRAFT BUDGET
BY FINANCE PROFESSIONAL & VOLUNTEER JEFF GREEN
The Trust is asking for a $9.1 million budget. The increase (5%) is to largely to conduct additional studies, hire new staff (e.g., endangered species specialist) and expand their mandate into several new areas (marine management, housing, climate change, endangered species). Most of these regulatory areas are already handled and done well by provincial and federal agencies.
The Trust, even with hiring, does not have the knowledge, expertise, experience or resources to
take on these roles. Plus these new areas are outside the Trust’s core mandate of land planning, development review and permitting, and managing the Trust Conservancy areas. The Trust should be advocating in these new areas — as directed in their Act — not expanding roles and staffing.
The Islands Trust levy in our taxes has increased from $2.1 MILLION in 1994/95 to $7.1 MILLION last year (2020/21). That is over a 300% increase in 28 years.
The proposed increase this year does not include the multiple additional areas the Trust is trying to
secure in the new Draft Policy Bylaw, so next year’s budget increase will likely be even higher.
The Islands Trust only plans and reviews development applications. Other than bylaw enforcement, the Trust is NOT responsible for any physical improvements or maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, bicycle trails, parks, schools, hospitals and medical clinics, paramedics, policing, fire response and the other services that make our community work.
I leave you to your own decisions on the budget. I indicated I support a decrease for almost all areas with staying the same for several areas (I.e., conservation areas). I think the Trust is out of control and needs to be reminded of who they serve and how. Jeff Green
This is the 2 minute talk John Money gave to the Islands Trust Select Committee last week: My name is John Money, and I was a Trustee for 21 years and on the Executive for 6 years.
The Islands Trust was created to supply planning services to 13 island communities in the southern & central Salish Sea. I believe all, except maybe 1, already had their Official Community Plan & Land Use By-laws in place.
These Plans were created with the planner help of several Regional Districts.
The Islands Trust was created to make a federation of these different island communities. Their very different Official Community Plans and Land Use By-laws were tied together because they are islands.
The Islands Trust was charged to help conserve the unique amenities in the area while supplying planning services. The flora and fauna in all these gulf islands is very similar, transportation problems are similar…..the real uniqueness comes from each and every different community.
The Islands Trust has lost its way.
- They are trying to create a Policy Statement that strips the goals and individuality of each and every community and their individual Official Community Plans and Land Use By-laws without proper community input.
- They have lost focus on supplying planning services and become a tax payer funded
advocacy group stripping the property rights given to land owners by their Official
Community Plans & Land Use By-laws.
- They show no concern for community health or an economic base. Their bloated budget is growing at an alarming rate while development and land use applications are becoming less and less!
The Islands Trust is no longer supplying proper governance in the Gulf Islands in my opinion.

To:Peter Luckham pluckham@islandstrust.bc.ca
CC:Paul S Brent <pbrent@islandstrust.bc.ca>, Lee Middleton <lmiddleton@islandstrust.bc.ca> Dear Peter.
Great virtual presentation on budget tonight. You and staff did good job on answers. I hope you
continue using virtual presentations. Two notes.
First despite the comments of your financial person some of us DID read in detail the actual budget and comparison with previous years and many of our questions were asked and answered. It insults the audience to suggest otherwise!
Second I was president (first woman) of federal Treasury Board back in the day. Ten percent cut backs are always opposed but HAVE been successfully imposed–so take a look at personnel costs versus services delivered.
Please note that my questions below which relate to what areas are covered in budget planning were NOT addressed. I waited until all Q and A’s were answered. Two hours later I need that one scotch and supper! Pat Carney PC, former senator, Saturna Island.
Wasteful expenditures. Nothing has changed in 16 years. (Mar 2020)
I am here today speaking on behalf of all property owners in the Trust Area who are or should be outraged at the state of affairs of application processing in the Trust Area as I outlined in my recent letter to you all. As a taxpayer I was shocked last year to find just how poorly the Trust has been operating when it comes to processing land use applications, and, the resulting impact on taxes.
To be clear, when I say “the Trust” I am collectively referring to the corporate body, Trust Council, its appointed CAO, the provincial government employees employed as planning staff, including the Director of Local Planning Services and the Regional Planning Managers, all of whom have a
statutory duty to follow established Trust Policies. In 2004 I was likewise shocked to find the average cost of processing an application within the Trust Area was $17,000. When I brought the matter to the attention of Trust Council senior staff could not provide a substantial explanation of why it was costing so much, or where the time was being spent. I recommended to Council that time tracking software be purchased and implemented, and, I understand my recommendation was followed in 2006 after I left office. However, at the time there was already Trust Policy, established circa 1993 through 1996, which should have acted as a failsafe to protect taxpayers. However, that failsafe has failed because the Policy has not been followed by Staff, and, has been ignored by Trust Council as a whole. As a result of that failure, I estimate that over $20 million of subsidy to development within the Trust Area has been inappropriately placed on the backs of the very same taxpayers who elected every local trustee sitting around this table to represent their best interests…as local trustees who have a duty to ensure the trust placed in their elected representative is upheld and not broken. Ok It was
reported to you last year at this time that 92.7%, or $2,092,000, of the cost of application processing was paid by taxpayers. How much should have been paid by taxpayers if the failsafe Trust Policies were followed? Zero dollars. How then has this been allowed to continue since 2004 when I first rang the alarm on behalf of those I represented? Eric Booth, Trustee 2002-2005

Trucking Highway #1
TRUCKING HIGHWAY #1 by Amanda Hale January 31, 2022
In Canada today, we have the attention of the mainstream media internationally, thanks to our brave truckers, who are being supported by tens of thousands of proud Canadians across the country, and by many of their fellow US truckers.
Now let’s take a look at mortality, and the reasons why so many people refuse the Covid-19 injection. The CBC tells us that more people are dying of Covid than at any time during these past two years. What they don’t say is that many of these deaths are caused not by Covid, but by the toxic gene manipulation they call “a vaccine.” (See chart of official figures below) *
We cannot vaccinate our way out of this nightmare. Already 54,000 at the very least, (in the UK, Europe and the US alone), are dead from Covid injections, and these fatalities, usually following close on a Covid-19 injection or booster, are excused as “coincidences.” Pfizer’s liability protection is now in question, forcing the corporation to reveal responsibility for one million adverse events in the US alone, including miscarriage, permanent disablement, and death.
Science, (observable results of medical experiments), has shown us that the “vaxxed” are no more protected than the “unvaxxed.” Israel’s Director of Public Health, addressing the Food and Drug Administration Advisory Panel reported, “Sixty percent of the people in severe and critical condition were, um, were immunized, doubly immunized, fully vaccinated. Forty-five percent of the people who died in this fourth wave were doubly vaccinated.” (Page 928 of the Kindle edition of Robert Kennedy Jr’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci). This begs the question, what exactly is killing them?
Back in November 2021, Suzanne Coles, former Provincial Offenses Prosecutor for the Ministry of the Attorney General in Ontario, reported: “Front line nurses have contacted me. Still-births have increased from 6 per year (average), to 86 in 6 months. Within 48 hours, one hospital had 9 still-births. That’s an 800% increase. All mothers were vaccinated.” (At 5.10 on video link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5gAhfGA3zs
And now, Arne Burkhardt, German pathologist, has discovered the reason for so many “coincidental” vaccine deaths and injuries. Post mortems have revealed that autoimmune cells have been attacked by killer lymphocytes that invade and destroy heart, lungs, and other soft tissue organs.
Why does this happen? Because of the viral spike proteins that trigger the attacks.

PORTRAIT OF A PSYCHOPATH
Robert Kennedy Jr. is an environmental lawyer. From 1986 to 2017 he served as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, a non-profit environmental organization. In 2011 he founded Children’s Health Defense. His recent book – The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health – is an exposé of a criminal career.
So, who is Fauci? An American physician-scientist and immunologist serving as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the Chief Medical Advisor to the US President. He has been director of the NIAID since 1984, involved with HIV/AIDS research and other immunodeficiency diseases, both as a research scientist and as head of the NIAID. Wikipedia adds, “Some falsely claim he was involved in creating the virus in a Chinese lab.” Why mention “false claims” in a Wikipedia article if not to point at the truth?
Kennedy’s book documents in excruciating detail the career path of Fauci, his involvement with Bill Gates, and the horrors that these men have perpetrated on the world with vaccines and medical mismanagement in the cause of personal power and financial gain. The most alarming aspect of the book is the complete transparency of their machinations, and the impunity with which they operate. Dr. Jonathan Fishbein, former director of the US National Institutes for Health has this to say:
“Dealing with Tony Fauci is like dealing with organized crime. He’s like the godfather. He has connections everywhere. He’s always giving money to people in powerful positions to make sure he gets his way. These connections give him the ultimate power to fix everything, control every narrative, escape all consequence, and sweep all the dirt and all the bodies under the carpet, and to terrorize and destroy anyone who crosses him.”
Fauci is known as Teflon Tony for obvious reasons, Teflon being not only a non-stick agent, but a highly toxic one.
Those experimented on are the easy victims – babies, orphans, foster children, the poor and destitute from Black, Hispanic and African populations.
Vera Sharav, holocaust survivor, and founder of the Alliance for Human Research Protection – a medical industry watchdog organization – has spent her life trying to defend children against practices of the biomedical industry. Examples of these atrocities are reported in Kennedy’s book:
“Fauci’s NIAID and his Big Pharma partners turned Black and Hispanic foster kids into lab rats, subjecting them to torture and abuse in a grim parade of unsupervised drug and vaccine studies … known to cause genetic mutation, organ failure, bone marrow death, bodily deformations, brain damage, and fatal skin disorders.”
If you can stomach more of this, see page 529 in the Kindle edition of Kennedy’s book.
Readers may remember Beagle Gate from last October – cruel animal experiments by the NIAID using American tax dollars. Beagle puppies were starved and had their vocal cords removed so that they couldn’t howl. Their heads were trapped in cages with sand fleas that ate them alive.
Other puppies were injected with lab-made “mutant” variants of tick-borne bacteria before being exposed to hundreds of ticks that then sucked their blood for up to a week. Their blood was drawn twice a week for eight weeks before they were euthanized.
Fauci, along with a host of accomplices in his murderous campaigns, is one of the big players in the Covid campaign, which has a long history, going back in this case to 1984 and the AIDS crisis. AIDS didn’t quite work for them because it became associated with a certain lifestyle. There have been several attempts over the years, and now they’ve hit the jackpot with Covid.
“Governments do like epidemics, just the same way as they like war. It’s a chance to impose their will on us, and get us all scared so that we huddle together and do what we’re told.” Dr. Damien Downing, President, British Society of Ecological Medicine (Al Jazeera, 2009)
You need to read about it. It will shock you. These criminals cannot operate without us, without our ignorance, our turning away, our self-satisfied blaming of the “unvaxxed” for everything, as the bearers of “misinformation,” i.e. anything that departs from the official propaganda used to control us.
That is how Fauci, Gates, and the rest of them manage to operate with impunity. They will go down in history as the tyrants and destroyers of humanity that they are; and we as their silent collaborators.
There are multiple lawsuits in progress across the globe – against Fauci, Gates, our fugitive prime minister, and against all the players in this incredible descent into moral corruption.
To name a few, the Honourable Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland, and the last living signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is suing the Canadian government over travel mandates; Canadian lawyer, Rocco Galati is suing the Canadian Government for human rights violations, the CBC for misinformation and fear-mongering, and the BC health authorities; German-American lawyer, Reiner Fuellmich is suing the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), and Klaus Schwab and his Davos group. The lawsuits are national and international, and the charges will trickle down to everyone accountable, everyone who has in whatever capacity cooperated in these crimes against humanity. Murder is a crime, and the guilty are being named.
The issues we face today go beyond borders. Our prime minister is entangled internationally with grave tyrannies. He was named by his father for the just society; and indeed, he will be brought to justice, as will Fauci and Gates.

Shirley Gnome to Expose Herself at the Denman Island Community Hall
Musical Comedian Shirley Gnome to Expose Herself at the Denman Island Community Hall.
Saturday, February 12, Doors at 7:30, show starts at 8pm
Just in time for Valentines Day, raunchy and award winning musical comedian Shirley Gnome is set to entertain us at the Denman Island Community Hall.
From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning cabaret musician, whose all original music is hilarious, uncensored, honest, subversive, irreverent, witty, empowering, and taboo. Her clever lyrics go down smooth with her gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you through topics both provocative and silly. With genres as wide ranging as country, folk, rock, EDM, electro pop and r&b, her versatility as a musician and songwriter lends itself to her hilarious sensibility.
Her one-woman cabaret shows have wowed audiences and critics alike, with sell out shows across Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. She’s appeared at JFL Northwest, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and CBC’s The Debaters.Her latest release Decoxification also went to #1 and was nominated for a Juno Award for Comedy Album of the Year. She also has a four song EP of pandemic themed erotic lovemaking tracks called Quantity Time which will hopefully not be relevant for much longer.
Also taking the stage to warm us up for this hilarious woman will be local comedy sketch trio Intolerant But Not Allergic(Joel Fox, Megan Rose, Amber Cella), and standup comedian Josh Lichti.
Tickets to this show are 20$ per person and will be available at Abraxas Books, The General Store and www.concertsdenman.com. As with any event held at our Community Hall, vaccine passports will be required to attend.

Valentine’s Day fundraiser for the Denman Sponsorship Group
Free Hot Chocolate on the Porch of the Denman Store with the Purchase of a Locally Made Mug on Saturday February 12th to honour St Valentines Day and Fund Raise for The Denman Sponsorship Group (who are raising money to support two Afghan women coming to Denman).
Over the course of the next two years, you will probably see advertised many events/fundraisers for the Denman Sponsorship Group as we work to raise enough money to allow these two sisters to enter the Canadian immigration system. We hope that you will enjoy our many ideas for sharing this project with the community as we combine community fun with fund-raising.
This event is a great example of this kind of fun. Almost all of the potters on Denman have contributed generously to this project and so we have examples of some truly beautiful ceramic art to sell complete with some warming drinks to keep the chill off as you do your Saturday shopping. Complete with whipped cream or vegan marshmallows, you will enjoy this traditional Valentine treat in your brand new personally chosen mug that you get to keep. Prices range from $20 to $50 for the mugs. Mugs and drinks will be available from 9 am to 1 pm or until we run out of mugs!! See you there. Danni Crenna & friends
