Hunt to Kill

The day became primarily sunny, so this afternoon I sunned from 3:05 - 4:32 p.m. despite having a vague headache that resembled eyestrain behind my right eye.

The cause was the onset of a migraine halo or aura early this afternoon just prior to my early afternoon nap. I know that these auras always leave me with that vague headache, so I vainly hoped that the nap might mitigate that outcome, but it did not.

And since these maladies endure for hours, I expect to be weathering the state for the remainder of today.

Perhaps other stress is at play ─ early today I discovered that my greedy wife has pillaged my monthly pension newly deposited, removing $1,600 from it when she already owes a minimum of $2,600 from the previous couple of months.

She has become a parasite.

She is supposedly working a full day today at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment, so I won't likely be seeing her at all today because I have an early a.m. (or overnight) walk planned, so because today was one in which my younger brother evidently bused away to rendezvous with one to three of his drinking buddies at some pub, he will not be making it home by the 9:30 p.m. deadline that I have in place for him. Thus, I will not be watching any T.V. with him this latter evening, and will seek to be in bed before 10 p.m. so that I can get up at 2:30 a.m. for the walk I have in mind of what will likely be over five miles.

It is possible that my wife will make it home before I go to bed later this evening, but it is not likely. And since we have separate bedrooms, there is no reason for her to intrude upon me.

She usually works a full day on Fridays, too, so there will not be a discussion between us tomorrow morning either.

Last evening after my brother got home from his 'socializing', I put our Android TV Box into play and we watched an episode of Imposters; and then I tuned in the 2010 movie Hunt to Kill. 

The lead actor in that movie was "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, but I never tuned in the movie due to his presence. I have a long list of movies I hope to eventually watch, and the reason movies make that last is practically always because of an actress (and rarely an actor) I enjoyed in something I have watched and whom I then decide to try and see her other acting work.

However, in  the case of Hunt to Kill, the two supporting actresses did both look familiar, but I could not recall where I knew either of them from.

I see now that a 'baddie' blonde was played by Emilie Ullerup whom I grew to like in the T.V. series Chesapeake Shores. And Steve Austin's movie daughter was played by actress Marie Avgeropoulos whom I now recognize as having a major role (Octavia) in the T.V. series The 100, which I have enjoyed ─ and Marie is a major contributor to that enjoyment.

In checking over Marie's acting credits, I now recognize that it was because of her that the movie made my list of films to see, for I have now seen her very first three movies ... although I do not remember her being in the previous two prior to Hunt To Kill. I obviously watched both of them without knowing just why.

Hunt to Kill was definitely action- and drama-filled, but so much of Steve Austin's character's stunts would simply not be possible. Unfortunately for me, my drunken brother rambled on all throughout the movie with his unwanted critiques, and came close to ruining the feature for me by denying me the ability to fully immerse myself into it.

I do recommend the movie for those who enjoy action films, but just don't think overmuch beyond the 'Good triumphs over Evil' aspect. As I said, the physical feats and skills displayed in the movie were essentially impossible as they were presented.

This morning my brother and I watched alternate fare, as is generally the case with our mornings. I led us off with Odessa Orlewicz's nearly 1½-hour (1:24:21) effort from yesterday: Interview With George Wiseman - The Importance of Hydrogen in the Human Body and How Disease & Colds Start With Lack of Hydrogen. 

My brother and I would love to be able to afford one of George's Eagle-Research machines. But as long as I allow myself to remain prey to my wife's avaricious predations, I will never live an optimal life. I will die with my knowledge of healthy living unrealized.

By the way, you can find that interview at Rumble and BitChute. 

The second and last video we watched this morning was a little more than an hour in duration (1:06:50) ─ a June 6 Children's Health Defense upload to Rumble titled ‘Tea Time’ Episode 37: Post Vaccine Syndrome Protocol With Dr. Pierre Kory + Dr. Paul Marik.

You can find a very full description of the video at BitChute here.

Along with the two doctors, present were Polly Tommey, Sarah Kenoyer, Amanda Forbes, and Nadera Lopez-Garrity.

Following the video, my brother retired to his bedroom for a short rest, and was soon readying himself for his bus trip ─ it would probably require two buses. Meantime, I had my day's first meal, and then sought that nap with the damned aura very much bothering me.

My evening is already underway, and I am still being nagged by that wretchedly annoying eyestrain-like headache seemingly behind my right eye. I am going to lie down for a bit in the hope that there is some reprieve.

My life sucks ─ it really, really sucks.

💀☠💀☠💀☠ The Vile Tyrant Within

Due to my younger brother not showing up last evening until at least 9:50 p.m., we were to only watch an episode each of two of the T.V. series that we follow in common: Chicago PD and Endeavour.

Of note concerning that latter series, I thought that we were about to witness the penultimate episode of the entire long series, for there was just one further episode listed. But I now see at Wikipedia that there will be one last season of three episodes. Likely, they will begin airing no sooner than September.

Anyway, with the episode finished and the midnight hour underway by 10 or 15 minutes, it supposedly became bedtime.

My brother sensibly retired, but I was to immerse myself into corruption and not get to bed until nearly 4 a.m. My wife, who had worked the full day at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment, never got home until around 3 a.m., but we have separate bedrooms and I doubt that she suspected that I was yet up.

Alas, morning arrived far too soon. I made a time check just after 8 a.m., and may have expended 15 - 20 minutes more vainly seeking some further sleep, but I then gave it up. My brother had emerged from his bedroom during my wakeful period and gone downstairs to have coffee and watch T.V., so around 8:50 a.m. I joined him.

When he very soon turned the T.V. over to me so that I could put our Android TV Box into action, I led us off with an hour-long Organic Consumers Association video that was uploaded to YouTube on June 16: Monsanto's War in Ukraine - Mitchel Cohen - The Secret Military History of Monsanto.  

Our guest for the inaugural broadcast was Mitchel Cohen, editor of the book, The Fight Against Monsanto's Roundup: The Politics of Pesticides, and author of the article, “War Within the War: The Fight Over Land and Genetically Engineered Agriculture.”

That interview by Alexis Baden-Mayer of her guest Mitchel Cohen is the short version ─ the full 1:33:15 version can be found here at Rokfin.

Mitchel Cohen may be a wonderful investigative writer, but a good speech-maker he definitely is not. That was compounded by how weary I soon became from my inadequate sleep. But as my brother also commented, Mitchel wasn't revealing a whole lot that was newsworthy to us. We already know how corrupt the U.S. government and its agencies are; and how so many major corporations of today are virtually the same ones that helped Nazi Germany nearly win World War II.

The next video we watched was just over 1¼ hours (1:16:56) in duration, and was uploaded by Tessa Lena to Rumble on June 9 or 10: Klaus Schwab and the Origins of WEF: Tessa Lena Talks to Johnny Vedmore.  

Article: https://tessa.substack.com/p/johnny-vedmore
Johnny Vedmore: https://johnnyvedmore.com https://unlimitedhangout.com/author/johnnyvedmoregmail-com/
Make Language Great Again https://makelanguagegreatagain.com

This is the second time within a week that my brother and I have seen Johnny Vedmore as someone's guest. He can be quite entertaining, and is never short for words. And since I now see that Tessa interviewed Johnny five or so days ago, I have now added that to our viewing list. 

The final video we were to watch was a June 18 upload to Rumble by Pastor Michael Thiessen (Liberty Coalition Canada): Dr. Glenn Sunshine: Obey God, Defy Tyrants! - Protestant Resistance Theory.

On this episode of Open Mike, Mike discusses the rich history of Protestant Resistance Theory with Dr. Glenn Sunshine, founder of Every Square Inch Ministries (https://www.esquareinch.com/), professor emeritus of history at the Central Connecticut State University, Research Fellow of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, and a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.

I do wish that I was not as drowsy as I was for this hour-long (1:02:00) interview, for I am very much interested in the conflict that many so-called Christians profess to have when it comes to defying the government and health authorities, for so many so-called Christians blindly accept that the Bible proclaims that we are required to be essentially obedient to "Caesar".

My brother did not quite make it through to the end of that final video, for he sought some bed rest ere heading off for the afternoon and early evening to engage his daily 'socializing'.

My wife had today off work, so I was able to have some conversation with her even though she did not rise until I was seeking a very short early afternoon nap, and she later left for the day during the latter afternoon.

I learned that she had attended a wake for an elderly (90 or so years old) Chinese chap she has known for some time now, and that contributed to her late night.  

Anyway, when she left, she said that she did not know if she would be home again tonight, or if she would not show up until after she finished work tomorrow ─ another full workday for her.

So we shall see what befalls.

My final words relate to the weather today. It has been primarily overcast, but at times I have seen some blue sky and even sunshine. We had some rain last evening, and maybe some overnight ─ I am unsure. But none today as yet.

I will not be undertaking another overnight walk until early Friday, so I will be sitting up this evening awaiting my brother's homecoming so that we can catch some further T.V.

Perhaps I will also mention an interesting involvement that I had this afternoon with a jumping spider that I noticed quite high on a wall in my bedroom, possibly yesterday. I quite like these kinds of spiders. They don't tend to give me the creeps like the larger nesting varieties of spiders.

This one was a little larger than the type I am accustomed to, which are a sort of striped grey-and-white. This one was perhaps a very dark brown.

Anyway, I was seated here at my computer when I felt something substantial fall against my bared arm ─ it was a similar feeling one might have if a housefly bumped against one's arm.

It only took me a few seconds to have come into my mind that maybe it was the jumping spider ─ perhaps it had fallen from the ceiling.

So I looked carefully at the carpet, not wanting to accidentally step on the critter.

All I had at hand to capture it with was a small empty vitamin bottle ─ opaque and dark brown plastic with a green plastic lid.

So I got the bottle, and cautiously placed the cap to one side of the still spider, and the bottle mouth to the other. My intention was to shepherd the spider into the small dark bottle.

Well, the spider instead climbed into the underside of the plastic lid. 

It wasn't displaying any alarm, so I decided to just take it as it was downstairs and to the backyard sundeck sliding glass door where I would release the little fellow or gal. I held the lid such that the spider was contained within it as if the lid was itself a small vessel.

I had just started down the stairs when the spider immediately climbed right out of the lid and onto my thumb, and then moved up to the back of my hand.

I didn't freak out, but I did wonder if there was a possibility that it could sense that it was standing on some large, living creature, and that it might panic and give me a nip ─ or just do so out of curiosity if it was at all hungry.

Neither event occurred ─ the spider was behaved, content enough to just sit atop the back of my hand as it assessed matters, I suppose.

So I got it to the sliding glass door, opened it and the outer screen door, and then placed my hand near to the removable cushioned cover of a deck chair that was immediately outside the doorway.

No problem. The spider took right to the cushion fabric, and that was where I left it. 

I doubt that there was much in the way of prey here in my bedroom, so by now it was likely becoming a wee bit hungry. Outside, there are all manner of small things for the spider to come across and make a meal of.

My day's good deed!

Health Revolution Solution

Last night was probably the worst yet for a sweltering night here in the house. I had gotten to bed ahead of 10 p.m. because my younger brother never made it home by the 9:30 p.m. deadline that I have in place for him when I have early a.m. activity planned, but the humidity and heat were too oppressive to allow of any easy sleep.

It would not surprise me if I was still awake when my brother finally went to bed, but I am not saying that this was so. Nor do I recall certainly hearing my wife arrive home following her long day working at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment.

What I found so unexpected about the sleeping conditions was that around 8 p.m. we had a short-lived thunderstorm, and the evening was definitely overcast. It should have been cooler.

My cellphone alarm was set for 2:30 a.m., and when it sounded I was only lightly unconscious, and thus I had little trouble motivating myself to rise and begin the process of readying for my planned Surrey hike.

As often occurs, my eldest stepson was still up, probably watching a movie on a laptop. As far as I am aware, I managed to make my getaway unnoticed around 2:44 a.m.

I was overdressed, for it was not very cool outdoors. And despite the omnipresent sky light pollution, I could discern stars, so the cloud cover had thinned dramatically.

The worst of these nearly warm nights is that there are so many 'night people' abroad who in wintry weather would not be prowling about as I am finding they are.

The rectangle my five-mile walk was to more or less delineate was formed by 132nd and 148th Streets on two sides, and 96th and 100th Avenues on the other two sides. This is the third time I have used that route in as many weeks, but I never just limit myself to that rectangular perimeter ─ I always do some meandering within it and hence increase my overall walking distance.

The centre of that rectangle outline would be the 9800 block of 140th Street as identified on this Google Map.  

It was 4:45 a.m. by the time I was back and standing outside the locked front door, so that was as near to a two-hour outing as one could wish for.

I never took heed of when it was that I sought some more sleep, but it may have been as early as 5:15 a.m. And although I had a wakeful period two hours or so later, I waited one further hour before getting up for the morning.

My brother was probably just then getting himself up for his morning shower.

When he afterwards went downstairs to watch T.V. with his coffee, I joined him around 8:45 a.m. And when he turned the T.V. over to me soon thereafter so that I could put our Android TV Box into action, I led us off with Odessa Orlewicz's video of yesterday, a 48-minute (48:38) interview of Amanda Forbes titled June 27- 'Slammin Sammy' Didn't Listen To His Daughter. This Will Be His Biggest Regret. 

Liberty Talk Canada Episode-Fast Pitch star and record holder Sam Forbes AKA 'Slammin Sammy' wanted to travel to his games so gave in and took the injection as mandated by Trudeau. He was a healthy and super fit star until he took the Pfizer gene therapy wherein he suffered 9 strokes and his daughter's life came to a crashing standstill trying to nurse her famous dad back to health. The story of what happened to him in the hospitals should be made into a horror movie. Amanda Forbes who is a well known Canadian hero for her tireless truth telling will tell all on my show.

Just yesterday my brother and I watched Amanda as interviewer when she got Ted Kuntz to tell his story concerning his late son.

Anyway, Odessa's video above can also be found at her Rumble channel here. It's also on BitChute, but I am pressed for time.

Next up was Christoper James' latest ─ he uploaded it yesterday to Rumble: MMS Destroys Big Pharma.

This one was not too far short of two hours in duration (1:53:17). It was of particular interest to me because I have some Miracle Mineral Supplement on hand since last Summer. I followed one protocol that I knew about for quite some while, but I eventually gave up because I was of the impression that due to how many foods counteracted the supplement, I was fasting each day while taking the doses.

This became so dispiriting, for I was not even drinking coffee in the mornings ─ it just became too much.

And then as ill luck would have it, that October I fell so severely sick with "COVID pneumonia" that I was hospitalized. I had tried at home to get my brother to mix me up the supplement once again because I could no longer do anything for myself, but he adamantly refused ─ and all based upon the bad reactions he was getting to the MMS because his perverted intestinal environment couldn't even handle a single drop as a dose, whereas I had been taking ... maybe four drops as a dose? or possibly as much as six? ... without noticing any adverse reaction at all.

But based upon his own fouled system, he would not be party to helping me avoid becoming even sicker than I already was, and so I finally had to accede to the family's importunes and allowed them to admit me to a hospital.

I was there for just over 11 days, and had to practically fight to get released ─ a doctor stated that they wanted to keep me "for another day or two".

I am still annoyed at my brother for equating his own befouled alimentary canal with mine. He suffered profound diarrhea that would strike at various points daily over a period of possibly a couple of months. Yet he knew that I didn't seem to have any reaction despite taking several drops of the solution at a time, while he was reducing to half a drop with no headway at tolerating it.

I can't talk about this ─ it angers me.

Christopher's interviewees were Mark Grenon, whom I am sure I have seen in a MMS documentary last Spring or Summer; and Lana Schultz ─ her last name is my guess at how it is spelled, for Christoper never printed her name out in full.

Their website is one I plan on remaining mindful of: Health Revolution Solution. I intend to review their full protocol on the chance that they do not counsel avoiding eating while on the daily MMS regimen for eight hours ─ fasting that long was just too onerous to stick with after a number of weeks.

This video was the last my brother and I were to watch this morning, for he went back to his bedroom to rest up at something like 11:40 a.m. because he had a 1:30 p.m. appointment to renew his driver's licence and provincial identification. 

I am going to bring this post to a close here, but I must report that the day has been solidly overcast, and we have even had some rain. As a result, I have not felt myself obligated to be out in the backyard sunning this afternoon. After having done so for three consecutive afternoons, it was becoming more stress than benefit.

By the way, my wife had to work another full day today (the restaurant opens at 11 a.m.), so she was probably up as early as 9:40 a.m. to begin readying for the long day ahead of her, beginning with the fairly long drive.

The Man Who Was Nobody

After my younger brother showed up last evening, I put our Android TV Box into action and we watched an episode each of Chicago Fire, then Edgar Wallace Mysteries, and finally Chapelwaite. 

Where the Edgar Wallace Mysteries series were concerned, I have been finding sources for them at RareFilms.xyz, and last evening we enjoyed The Man Who Was Nobody. The best description for the feature may well be at the blog Classic Movie Ramblings.

My brother and I enjoy old British films, but I have to confess that I never had any familiarity with any of the cast, although John Crawford did seem vaguely familiar.

Hazel Court as the female 'gumshoe' was a nice twist, and I enjoyed her character's budding attachment to that of John Crawford.

I get quite a kick out of hearing the Brits using much of the same gangster lingo that I grew up hearing in American movies.

There was a scene where supporting actress Lisa Daniely's character is given a close-up where she vehemently proclaims not only her innocence in a murder, but she launches into a dramatic expression of being driven nigh crazy by the recurring images of the man's death ─ the way her eyes darted back and forth with almost insane hysterics was priceless!

I would love to have that clip to replay from time to time.  

I want to mention discovering a couple of days ago that last week, I apparently watched the final episode in the T.V. series Private Eyes, and never realized it at the time.

The episode's conclusion has the two titular characters admitting to one another that they ought to explore the feelings they each felt for the other, and it seemed to me that it was something of a cliffhanger. Yet I never suspected that I had just witnessed the series finale.

I was never a big fan of the series, but it always helped to pass time rather pleasantly.

Boy, this hot weather! I did some afternoon sunning, but I didn't seek to meet or exceed the 1½ hours that I believe I managed yesterday. Today, I only exposed myself from 1:36 or 1:37 p.m. until 2:40 p.m. The major reason for that is that when I had a very hot bath early last evening, it was excruciating on my overexposed skin. I didn't dare try to lie down in the tub.

Sunning overlong also taxes me severely. I had to lie down for an hour or so after today's session, else I would never have been able to work on this post. And I also began a post at one of my two hosted websites. I wrote a few days ago that I was about to start that post, but I only got at it today.

As for the morning's T.V. with my brother today, we watched quite a lot. Using our Android TV Box, I first set us up with a 37-minute (37:57) BitChute documentary titled The Truth in PLANE Sight. That link is only a sample link ─ should it fail, you can find numerous other sources for it at BitChute.   

This episode : The truth in PLANE sight - covers the Globe deception, 9-11, Chem-trails, Fake News, Crisis Actors, & More!

It did try to cover a fair amount of ground. What is the most difficult for me to lay credence to is the claim that we do not live on a planet, and there is no 'Outer Space'.

Supposedly the reason that we have been lied to about the Earth being a planet orbiting the Sun is because ─ if I understand this correctly ─ those unseen 'Elite' who control world events do not want us to feel connected to God. Supposedly, if we believe in an infinite Universe, this removes any sense of us being a unique creation.

For me, the opposite is true. If a 'Flat Earth' with a fixed firmament above us is all that there is ─ there is no Outer Space with a distant infinite number of suns and their planets (let alone other galaxies) ─ then I feel robbed. 

I'm not at all interested in spending Eternity on this 'Flat Earth' God has created and placed us upon, should I ever qualify for Eternal Life! If what we all have is tantamount to being insects in some enormous terrarium, and there is nothing more beyond ─ no infinite "Space, the Final Frontier" that we as spirit beings could roam and explore (and maybe even be given charge of), this would be monumentally disappointing to me.  

That is what would be dispiriting for me ─ not the concept of an infinite cosmos.

But I must move on.

The second video I tuned in was a little over an hour long (1:05:38) and uploaded to Rumble on June 21 by Vaccine Choice Canada: Ted Kuntz interview by Amanda Forbes - Ted's Journey Into Understanding Vaccine Risks.

Ted Kuntz and Amanda Forbes. In this interview we spotlight someone very special to Vaccine Choice Canada, our president, Ted Kuntz. The conversation is led by Amanda Forbes of Children’s Health Defense Canada.

This dive into the private life of Ted Kuntz was so profoundly touching. I have a huge appreciation now for the man.

Next up was a 50-minute (50:59) Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms June 14 upload to Rumble: Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) “In Hot” interview with Tom Marazzo of Freedom Convoy 2022.

Tom Marazzo discusses the state of Canadian civil liberties with C3RF. Tom was the man at the heart of the “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Veterans 4 Freedom” initiatives. Not resting on his laurels, he is now deeply involved with a “Canada Marches” super event that sees Warrant Officer James Topp trek across Canada in the name of freedom. As these efforts accelerate one after the other, will the end result see a restoration of the checks and balances that’s once made Canada an enlightened democracy and a great place to live?

Again, very interesting!

The final video I tuned in was a June 24 or 25 upload by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson to Rumble: Live with Cheryl K. Chumley and Mark Sherwood.

On a historic day in the US, the Supreme Court has correctly overturned the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision. Joining us today to break it down will be Oklahoma Gubernatorial candidate Dr. Mark Sherwood and Washington Times columnist Cheryl K. Chumley.

Visit Dr. Mark Sherwood’s website: http://www.sherwood2022.com/

Visit Cheryl K. Chumley website: https://bit.ly/3xPPpxK

Laura-Lynn initially had Mark Friesen as a co-host until she began her separate interviews with her two guests.

My brother never got all the way through Laura-Lynn's first interview (Cheryl K. Chumley) because he needed to get some bed rest ere heading off for the afternoon and early evening to 'socialize'.

I waited until he had gone before I sought that session of sunning.

Well, I have an early a.m. walk planned for overnight, so I will not be sitting up late this evening. If my brother is not back home by 9:30 p.m., I will not watch even one episode of anything with him.

And since it is already after 7:30 p.m., I must be done with today's post so that I can have a little supper and catch some T.V. entertainment.

Out of Shadows

Man, this afternoon sunning is wiping me right out! We've only had three consecutive days of truly seasonal hot weather, and I am already nearly coming to my limit in tolerating it.

My younger brother failed to show up last evening before the 9:30 p.m. deadline that I had in place for him, so I was to bed before 10 p.m. Since I had some early morning grocery shopping planned for the nearest Save-On-Foods outlet (Google Map) not a mile away, I had my cellphone alarm set for 4:30 a.m. because I wanted to ensure that I also got in some time walking.

Sleep was hard won overnight due to the unaccustomed warm temperatures ─ tonight, I will be taking advantage of my bedroom's ceiling fan. When my cellphone alarm sounded this morning, it pulled me from sleep.

I don't know what's going on with the guy, but my eldest stepson was still up. Nevertheless, I doubt that he remained up beyond 5 a.m.

As is too often the case, despite my determination to be on my way by 6 a.m. at latest, it was maybe 6:07 a.m. by the time my walk had begun; and just as it did two weeks ago, I included the path that you can see on this Google Map, and which is leading into the Green Timbers Urban Forest from the intersection of 100th Avenue & 140th Street. The forest is of course the bottom right quadrant of that intersection.

Also as two weeks ago, I followed the trail until it intersected with Huckleberry Trail, and then I turned right on that new trail and kept following it until it brought me to Green Timbers Way which I then turned onto and followed along until I was able to cut through the lot of Jim Pattison Outpatient Care just before Green Timbers Way intersected with 140th Street (Google Map).

The shortcut through Jim Pattison Outpatient Care's lot nearly brought me to the Fraser Highway, which I then followed towards and just past George Junction (Google Map) and the Hub One / Hub Two complexes where I did my grocery shopping.

The sole true flaw in my outing of over four miles of walking was when I had gone a short distance into the Green Timbers Urban Forest and encountered a young dark-skinned man, of a slightly taller height than I. He did have earphones or something on, but I delivered him quite a robust "Good morning!" that got absolutely no response from the aloof prick.

This irritated me for some while, and at the time it even roused some angry censure that I muttered aloud as I continued on my way.

It is interesting how such a display of unsocial incivility can sour one's experience.

I suppose overall I was gone for just over two hours, and I was soon back in bed for an hour or so to help me recover and fortify me for some morning T.V. with my brother.

As it happened, he had to go and pick up his girlfriend Bev at 10 a.m., so I got possession of the T.V. and ─ at his return ─ put our Android TV Box to use so that we could watch an interview that host Dr. Joseph Mercola uploaded to BitChute on June 8: Understanding What We’re Up Against - Interview with Patrick Wood.

Patrick Wood, a repeat guest, has spent decades studying technocracy — an invented economic system that the global cabal is currently trying to implement worldwide. He was recently interviewed by The Defender, the Children's Health Defense newsletter. You will find that interview below. I would actually encourage you to watch that one first, because it provides a really good background of Wood and his work.

It’s become absolutely crucial to understand what we’re up against, globally, and who’s responsible for the rising totalitarianism and their ultimate intention.

The COVID pandemic was a coup d’état by the technocratic cabal that is behind the global takeover agenda, referred to as The Great Reset.

The Great Reset was introduced by the World Economic Forum, which is tightly coupled to the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Their agenda is to implement a global type of totalitarianism based on technocratic and transhumanist ideologies. Part of that plan also includes reengineering and controlling all life forms, including humans.

While the outward expression of technocracy will appear as totalitarianism, the control center is not an individual. Rather than a single person ruling by the decree, technocracy relies on control through technology and algorithm. This is a very important difference. In short, there will be no individual to blame or hold accountable. The “dictator” is an algorithm.

Technocracy is an invented and unnatural form of economics that expresses itself as totalitarianism and requires social engineering to work. Technocrats in the past defined technocracy as the science of social engineering. Controlling the populace is crucial for the system to function.

The video was not much shy of being 1½ hours in duration (1:25:11); and I do not recall ever hearing Dr. Mercola commit to being so negative about the next very few years. Basically, he believes that a virtual holocaust will likely take place well before the projected 2030 Great Reset, and that this several years-long event is going to reduce the world's population by many, many millions ... and maybe even into the billions.

Of course, if you are one of those who prefers keeping your hand deeply buried in the sand or wherever else you have it thrust, just ignore all of this. Most people will.

By the way, my brother and I watched the earlier Patrick Wood recommended interview sometime this past week (I think it was). Unfortunately, despite what the description above says, no link to that interview was included below this one by Dr. Mercola.

Anyway, following the Dr. Mercola feature, I next turned in something a little different on Rumble that was slightly more than 1¼ hours in duration (1:17: 55): Out Of Shadows Official (2020) - Documentary Exposing Satanism in High Places.

The Out Of Shadows documentary lifts the mask on how the mainstream media & Hollywood manipulate & control the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content. Our goal is to wake up the general public by shedding light on how we all have been lied to & brainwashed by a hidden enemy with a sinister agenda.

This project is the result of two years of blood, sweat and tears by a team of woke professionals. It’s been independently produced and funded and is available on many different platforms for FREE for anyone to watch.

IMDb actually tells more of what the documentary is about ─ or at least it lists just who appears in it. Note that most of the people listed beyond the first four or so are not included in the video voluntarily ─ they are essentially being ... villainized. You can decide whether the villainization is deserved or not.

My evening is already begun, so I wish to wrap up this post and have a little supper while watching some T.V. before my brother gets home. He took off very early in the afternoon, so with the hot weather, I expect that he'll be crocked by the time he returns.

Nevertheless, I have nothing planned for tomorrow morning ─ no walks ─ so I shall sit up awaiting him before I play any episodes of the T.V. series that we follow in common through the means provided by our Android TV Box. 

Of late he has been passing out through most of whatever episode I first tune in, so that will likely be the scenario for this evening.

We shall see.

Unnatural Law

Angelica Enberg

What glorious sunshine today! I sunned out in the backyard from shortly after 1 p.m. until possibly after 2:30 p.m. ─ I lost track. The only complaint I have is that doing so costs time, limiting other things I would do with my afternoon here inside the house.

But let's turn attention to last evening.

My younger brother showed up an hour or so earlier than he has been of late, but he likely only did so because of his state of inebriation.

Putting out Android TV Box to use, and using the Bee TV app that I have downloaded into it, I tuned in the first episode of season two of Black Lightning, a series we have not watched in maybe a couple of years, if not longer.

My brother passed out for most of the show. If I asked him today, I bet he would not even remember that I played the episode.

At least he remained conscious thereafter when I tuned in an episode of Lewis, and then followed that with one of The Man in the High Castle. These shows were watched via the Stremio app.

My wife had worked the full day at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment, and she showed up fairly late in the evening. However, her eldest son was at work, and her youngest had retired, so she was soon shut up in her bedroom. As a consequence, she and I had no communication when my brother and I quit T.V. around 12:20 a.m. and sought our own bedrooms.

This morning I managed to find sleep 'off an on' until a little after 9 a.m., which was unexpected. Nevertheless, I dressed and fixed up a mug of instant coffee downstairs, and then turned on T.V. just after my brother finished with the Saturday morning Vancouver Sun that I subscribe to, so I was able to have custody of the T.V. from the start.

I led off our viewing with two of Odessa Orlewicz's videos from Wednesday, the first of which was barely over 7½ minutes in duration: June 22 Show 1- Quick 7 Minute Show-193 BLANK PAGES From Another Covid FOI Request!

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FROM CANADIANS AND THE WORLD!!!

Further to the first FOI request that showed some information from Bonnie's emails...THIS FOI came back with 193 pages WITHHELD! I will talk to everyone about the next steps being taken.

FOI 2 link- https://www2.gov.bc.ca/enSearch/detail?id=7AFDBC16F15F42E289E9F7DDB0F80C40&recorduid=HTH-2021-13809&keyword=hth-2021-13809

I thought that this rampant wholesale censorship of the requested material was utterly outrageous, and those involved warrant being jailed. However, I do understand that where concerns the various scientific studies that were mentioned by title alone, it would probably be illegal to have them published in full and thus made available without the original scientific journals giving their permission.

Most of the studies are accessible online for free (see, for example, Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in the US Adult Asymptomatic Population as of September 30, 2020); but even if all of them are online and accessible without charge, the scientific journals probably still have to give their permission for any republication, or else copyrights are being transgressed.

The second Odessa Orlewicz video was a little more than an hour in length (1:06:02): June 22 Show 2- Freedom Fighters Win In Court Against Bogus Covid Charges. 

Liberty Talk Canada Episode-Britney and Nick "fired their lawyers" and represented themselves in court after more than a year long battle with corruption.  They will tell all about what they went through and how it all ended. Mainstream Media used shaming propaganda but they were found innocent. I also start the show having a quick chat with the organizers of THIS Friday's nationwide protest outside of the College Of Physicians And Surgeons.

Odessa first had as guests Marcella Desjarlais and James Davison to basically speak about a nationwide protest that may have been taking place today.

As for Britney Green and Nicholas DeAngelis, they proved to not be alone ─ a bearded Eric, a friend of theirs with legal smarts who has been helping them ─ was seated next to Britney and did not make an appearance until well into their interview.

I have no idea what Eric's last name is, but their Facebook group can be found as Natural Law NB.

Note that Odessa's videos can also be found on her channels at Rumble and BitChute.

The final video I tuned in was uploaded to Rumble a day or two ago by Christopher James (A Warrior Calls): Truck Convoy Trespass. The video is also available at BitChute.

This one was over 1¾ hours in length (1:49:43), and contained much of interest, including the later interview with Freedom Convoy 2022 trucker Dave Steenburg who has been criminally persecuted by the Canadian government and its lackeys ever since that wintry Ottawa protest that stirred so much of Canada.

Once that video was done, my brother sought some bed rest. My wife had been up for some while by then, and I updated her on the latest concerning her confiscated DHL shipment. She now knows that the Room Coffee and the Boom Cocoa Plus will be getting released to her, but the Boom Collagen+ is being seized.

With my brother shut up in his bedroom, I soon sought my sunning. My wife was already enjoying some backyard sunshine, but she soon enough came into the house. And then while I was still outside, she came forth and announced that she was leaving for the remainder of the weekend (as is her wont).

When I finally came back into the house, my brother was gone for the afternoon and probably the early evening, but both of my stepsons were here.

Only the youngest is home now as I type these words at 7:14 p.m., and he has announced that he has brought home some pizza, so I wish to check that out and watch some T.V. while my brother is still away.

I have a little very early grocery shopping in mind for tomorrow, as well as a fairly decent walk, so I will not be sitting up late this evening.

Sun-Kissed

Angelica Enberg

I was to bed last evening no later than 10 p.m., I believe, with my cellphone alarm set for 2:30 a.m. to rouse me for an overnight walk here in Surrey ─ as had been expected, my younger brother did not bus home by the 9:30 p.m. deadline from whatever pub it was that he had gone to for his drinking that afternoon, so I felt myself free not to sit up to watch an episode of any of the T.V. shows that we follow in common.

He doesn't understand how to operate our Android TV Box, so it is up to me to seek out the programmes that we watch. Otherwise, he must make do with whatever he can find on the basic cable programming available to us.

My wife was not yet home from her full day of work at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment, incidentally. She and I have separate bedrooms.

When my cellphone alarm sounded, it pulled me from quite a deep sleep, and the experience was nothing pleasant. Although I did hustle to get up and ready myself for the outing, I had little desire to be making the walk that would be well in excess of five miles.

It was 2:44 a.m. by the time I was outside the locked front door and on my way. My eldest stepson was still up, but I do not believe that he was aware of me. Also, my wife's car was present in the driveway, so she had gotten home at some point.

Due to how uninspired I was feeling about the walk, initially I vacillated in choosing my route, and as a result I both did some backtracking, and also some meandering. But for simplicity's sake, let us just use my route's rectangular boundaries as being 88th and 97th Avenues on two sides, and 132nd and 140th Streets on the other two sides ─ this Google Map has the midpoint of that rectangle as being 9250 - King George Boulevard. 

However, my meanderings took me outside of 140th Street twice. The first time was when I turned up 92nd Avenue (Google Map) in the direction of 144th Street, for I had a bug to see if it was possible to find a pathway through to that more distant road. 

I should have referred to that Google Map ahead of time, for I was basically walking blind. I practically reached the end of 92nd Avenue, but there was a suspicious car parked right there, so I was unable to discover that there was indeed a trail that would have led me through the forest that is there, and brought me to another leg of 92nd Avenue that would have allowed me access to 144th Street.

I did turn into the educational complex indicated on that Google Map, and which is alongside the stretch of 92nd Avenue that I was exploring; and I stealthily approached the suspect parked car and got near enough to it that I could hear people inside it talking, but I had no idea how many there were, nor could I hear any actual spoken words ─ just muffled voices that were sometimes quite loud. 

It is a shame that I was denied access to the trail that I now realize does exist and which would have carried me through to the next leg of 92nd Avenue.

I returned to 140th Street and continued towards 88th Avenue ... but decided to check out the small Kyo Park that can be found in the centre of this Google Map. I followed a trail through it to a road, and then began wandering about, not realizing that had I known the proper route, I could have reached 144th Street. Instead, I aimlessly wandered about until I finally arrived at 88th Avenue via 140-A Street as shown at this Google Map.

Note that I had to warily make my way past a skunk on one of those backroads.

This time I was curious about doing some exploring of Bear Creek Park, so I walked a short distance along 140th Street before turning into the park via a path and then ultimately, I followed a path that took me well below (as you look at the map) the jogging track that is nearly at the centre of the park (Google Map), and I followed the path along until it brought me to what I see is identified as the Bear Creek Dog Off-Leash Area very near to where King George Boulevard will be intersecting 88th Avenue. 

From there I made my way back to 88th Avenue, and executed no further deviations from the rectangle of my route.

I was back home outside the locked front door of the house at 4:55 a.m., so my hike had taken me essentially 10 minutes over two hours.

I was back in bed by 5:30 a.m., and remained there until just after 8:30 a.m.

When I joined my brother for some T.V. and my day's first instant coffee mid-morning, and he turned the T.V. over to me so that I could put our Android TV Box into action, I tuned in Odessa Orlewicz's video from three days ago ─ it was not too much shy of being two hours in length (1:50:44): June 21-Vascular Surgeon, Forensic Psychiatrist, And Nurse Sue Chief Public Health Officer NO SOUND FIRST 2 minutes so FFW.

ANOTHER lawsuit against BC, Canada's Chief "Public Health" Officer has been filed for fraudulent mandates. Be one of the first to hear it read out.

Should that website be down, the same video can be found at Rumble and BitChute. 

The case does sound most promising; but of course, it all hinges upon the integrity of the presiding judge, doesn't it?

This was to be the only video my brother wanted to watch ─ before it was yet noon, he was already away for the afternoon.

The day was beautifully sunny, so I wasted little time in getting out into the backyard in a pair of gym-style shorts to do some serious sunbathing. I began sunning both my front and my back at 12:07 p.m. until 1:30 p.m., as I recall. 

And now finally, I look delightfully sun-kissed overall! And I intend to maintain this practice over the next few or however many days that the steady sunshine endures.

By the way, my wife had to work another full day today. She rose around 10 a.m. at latest and sequestered herself into the upstairs bathroom where she showered and otherwise readied herself. Then she started talking in Thai to someone on her cellphone and came downstairs while doing so. The only conversation I got from her was when she headed out the front door for her car while still gabbing to that someone on her phone ─ she just called to me to close the front door behind her, for she did not have a free arm to easily do it herself. That was all the conversation I got from her.

And so she was gone.

I will be sitting up this evening watching shows with my brother once he is finally home again; so unless my wife is foolish enough to be out partying after work, I ought to be seeing her late this evening.

It is already after 8 p.m., so I must stop blogging for today.

Further on the Unconscionable CBSA / Health Canada / CFIA Withholding of My Wife's Collagen Shipment

At some point last afternoon until my younger brother set me straight just after mid-morning today, I absolutely believed that today was Saturday.

I knew yesterday right up until into the noon hour that the day then was Wednesday, but at some point over the afternoon I became lost in time without being aware of it.

As a result, I sat up late last evening with my brother, all the while operating our Android TV Box to watch a couple of the T.V. series that we follow in common (specifically, Versailles, then American Ninja Warrior, and finally United States of Tara). Had I realized the true day, I would have gotten to bed earlier for the early a.m. overnight walk that has become a feature of my Thursdays.

And so this morning I rose ─ earlier than usual, as it happened, for I found myself awake shortly after 5 a.m. and tried for over an hour to return to sleep ere I gave up; I even checked outside for the Saturday morning newspaper that I subscribe to, and was annoyed that it was not there.

And then before my brother was yet up for the day, I had some exercise out in the backyard toolshed ─ exercise that I do not normally engage except on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

But perhaps it is all for the best. In fact, I do believe that henceforth I shall have my walks overnight in the a.m. of Fridays instead of Thursdays because my brother usually buses off to a pub to rendezvous with as many as three of his drinking buddies on Thursdays, and thus he is not home again until well past 9:30 p.m.

Normally I sit up awaiting him so that we can watch a couple or so of the T.V. series that we follow, but now I can just get to bed early to make rising at 2:30 a.m. for my upcoming overnight Friday walk far easier on me than such walks are when I sit up until maybe 11 p.m. Wednesday nights and have to confront the walk early on Thursday as has been my past wont.

Nevertheless, how was it that I lost my grasp of the calendar ─ and how did that transition take hold from knowing the date to somehow entirely accepting a wholly false sense of the same day? 

A mini-stroke, perhaps? I am 72, after all.

Whatever the cause for that time lapse, this morning when my brother and I got together to watch some T.V., we never actually finished watching anything worthy of mention, so I will drop the topic.

The afternoon has been largely sunny and gorgeous. Unfortunately, I was too much in need of an early afternoon nap to take advantage of the sunshine, but following my nap I did go out into the backyard and ─ attired just in a pair of shorts ─ sunned myself frontally from 3:06 - 4 p.m.

There is more sunshine in store over the next few days as well, so I am hoping to get in some regular consecutive days of full sunning for the first time this year.

I also want to start work on a new post at one of my two hosted websites. It has been just over two months since I last published a post at one of them. I hope to actually begin work on that new post come tomorrow ─ today I have just been amassing material for the post (which typically can reach or even exceed 30,000 words).

In other news, the female CFIA inspector I have been involved in E-mail exchanges with concerning my wife's DHL Thailand shipment which has been in "Clearance Event" limbo ever since it fell into CBSA's hands last April 14, has not responded to my angry rebuttal yesterday to her E-mail earlier that day that stated that one of the three products in the shipment would not be released to us.

The product is Boom Collagen+ (that link is entirely in Thai) and comprises 36 ingredients, but the CFIA inspector claimed that according to Health Canada, three of the ingredients are not allowed in Canada as food additives, and I would have to submit a formal petition to Health Canada to have them reviewed for acceptance.

I could tell from her E-mail that her grasp of what she was trying to tell me was weak ─ here is one of her suspect statements:

Upon assessing this product, one of the listed ingredients “Haematococcus pluvialis” (extract from astraxanthin) is not permitted to be used in this product. Astraxanthin is permitted in fish feed used as a colour additive but, not as an additive in food under Health Canada’s Lists of Permitted Food Additives.

First off, there is no "r" in astaxanthin, the proper name of the antioxidant. Yet she spelled it wrong several times. As well, the astaxanthin in Boom Collagen+ was derived from the algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) ─ the algae was not being extracted from the astaxanthin, which is what she seemed to be saying.

Apart from that, however, astaxanthin is commonly sold all over Canada ─ every nutritional supplement section of pharmacies and major food stores sell astaxanthin. I even pointed out to her that astaxanthin is so abundant in salmon that it is the reason for the pink and red colour to such fish flesh. In other words, we are eating it all the time in salmon and other foods!

As for the source of Boom Collagen+'s astaxanthin ─ the algae “Haematococcus pluvialis” ─ I located references (see below) on Health Canada's own website where recommendation was given as to how much dried “Haematococcus pluvialis” is acceptable for consumption on a daily basis (one gram, to be precise). 

I also found it listed on the Health Canada website that neither the algae nor astaxanthin are "novel foods" ─ in fact, they were listed as being "non-novel".

Without offering me any proof that either item was itself a "novel food", she had provided this definition of what the term means:

A novel food is:

·         A substance, including a microorganism (a living thing so small you need a microscope to see it), that does not yet have a history of safe use as a food
·         A food that has been manufactured, prepared, preserved or packaged by a process that:

          o   Has not been previously used for that food, and
          o   Causes the food to undergo a major change

When a product contains “novel ingredient(s)”, it is necessary for the responsible party to make an application to Health Canada describing the usage of each of the novel ingredients in the product. The safety of a novel food ingredient (which includes a substance, process, or modification), must be established before it may be used as an ingredient.

Well, whoop-de-do! That's just wonderful to know ... but as I already proved, neither ingredient is listed as being novel.

But that was not all. She even stated that the third ingredient ─ acerola cherry extract as the source of the vitamin C included in the product ─ is a "novel ingredient". 

The cherry? ... or the vitamin C? Be clear!

So in my angry reply, I said:

I very much dispute that astaxanthin nor acerola cherries are incontestably listed anywhere as being prohibited. Heck, Haematococcus pluvialis and acerola cherries are listed in Appendix 3 of Health Canada's Drugs and Health Products: Antioxidants where is described the maximum daily doses of these substances. The dried algae Haematococcus pluvialis all on its own is cited as being acceptable for ingestion in an amount of one gram daily; acerola cherries at 100 grams fresh or 10 grams dry daily.

Merely quoting what a novel food is defined as, but not actually showing anywhere that acerola cherry is indeed identified as falling within that category hardly proves the case in light of the reference I have provided.

There was no reply from her today.

I have no doubt that she is entirely out of her element and does not understand anything about these three ingredients ─ the murkiness of her statements proves this. And now that I have made my case with references that solidly fortified my contentions ─ references at Health Canada's own website ─ she realizes that she is not dealing with someone who is going to be cowed simply because she used language that she thought this high school dropout could not possibly comprehend.

Making vague reference to a weblink that does not mention any of the three ingredients being contested, and then defining what the term "novel food" implies even though the term was nowhere applied at the Health Canada website to any of the three ingredients, does not carry the damned day. 

Hell, I even showed that Health Canada refers to all three ingredients as being "non-novel".

She is either lying to save face over having held up delivery of my wife's shipment for over two months, or else she is not qualified to be speaking on the subject of the three ingredients. She did not seem to understand what they were; and she was unable to point directly anywhere to information at Health Canada that verified her claims about them.

Anyway, early this evening I found further evidence bolstering my stand, so I forwarded it to the woman:

I wish to add the following Health Canada references for all three of the ingredients you were informed were "novel foods" or "novel ingredients", but which I can show conclusively are all approved by Health Canada.

1. First, Haematococcus pluvialis extract ("Approved Herbal Substance")
2. Second, astaxanthin (two examples, both of which are "Natural and Non-prescription Health Products")
3. Third, Acerola (nine examples, all of which I believe are cleared as  "Natural and Non-prescription Health Products")

There is absolutely no legitimate reason any longer to be withholding delivery of my wife's shipment.

I just wish that we had been informed in timely fashion (i.e., two months ago) about this gross error.

Maybe I should get hired as a part-time researcher about supposedly suspect food / medicinal ingredients coming into Canada. I could easily work from home and get the workload done.

My evening is now deep upon me ─ I must take my leave for today.

 

Victimized By Bureaucratic Ineptitude

Well, I'm just in from sitting outside from 4:17 - 5 p.m. in the backyard, sunbathing my face and lower arms ─ yes, I was fully clothed. But evidently sunnier weather lies just ahead.

Due to time shortage, this post may not be too long. I would have sunned earlier, but I got deeply involved in a response to yet another E-mail from the CFIA contact whom I have been in touch with for maybe 10 days now concerning my wife's DHL Thailand shipment which comprised three products (one coffee, another cocoa, and the third collagen) and which CBSA held up back on April 14 from being delivered to us. 

Apparently Health Canada got involved, and then they in turn enlisted CFIA.

Yet since that first DHL "Clearance Event" involving CBSA on April 14, none of the government entities contacted us until my wife got hold of some CFIA 'chief' Inspector's E-mail address a couple of weeks ago at most. I E-mailed that person, and he in turn had someone else (a woman) deal with me.

She and I have had first a phonecall, and then a series of E-mails, and each time I have had to explain about the contents of the shipment.

And so this afternoon, she sent me this at 12:47 p.m. ─ note that the collagen product lists 36 ingredients:

Thank you for patience with this matter and for providing the information for the product Boom Collagen+. Upon assessing this product, one of the listed ingredients “Haematococcus pluvialis” (extract from astraxanthin) is not permitted to be used in this product. Astraxanthin is permitted in fish feed used as a colour additive but, not as an additive in food under Health Canada’s Lists of Permitted Food Additives.

Another ingredient, “acerola cherry extract” is used a source of Vitamin C. However, this ingredient has been pointed out by Health Canada as a novel food ingredient and is to be submitted to Health Canada for approval.

A novel food is:

·         A substance, including a microorganism (a living thing so small you need a microscope to see it), that does not yet have a history of safe use as a food
·         A food that has been manufactured, prepared, preserved or packaged by a process that:
                     o   Has not been previously used for that food, and
                     o   Causes the food to undergo a major change

When a product contains “novel ingredient(s)”, it is necessary for the responsible party to make an application to Health Canada describing the usage of each of the novel ingredients in the product. The safety of a novel food ingredient (which includes a substance, process, or modification), must be established before it may be used as an ingredient.

If Health Canada deems the novel food to be safe for consumption, a letter of no-objection (LoNO) is issued notifying the petitioner to that effect. Information concerning novel food applications may be found on the webpage "Requesting a novelty determination for a food or food ingredient".

You may send your request to:

Boom Collagen+ product will be refused entry from this shipment and rest of the products will be released to you subject to CBSA conditions.

Should you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you.  

Well, I referred to the first "List of Permitted Food Additives" she had linked to, but nothing there seemed to me to 'outlaw' or proscribe any of the three items she identified and which she had rather poorly explained as being offenders. (And the one substance is astaxanthin, not something called "astraxanthin".) All she did was define what a "novel food" was deemed to be; and from there, I was apparently just supposed to assume that this was all beyond my education level, and I might as well give up. 

She does not know me. I do not so easily yield.

I got busy researching, and at 4:14 p.m. I sent this reply back to her:

E***, this makes no sense to me.

Astaxanthin is an antioxidant that is common on any nutritional supplement shelf in any pharmacy; and just as one example of its naturally abundant presence in food, we all eat it anytime we eat salmon ─ it is the substance that makes salmon flesh pink, or deep red in the case of salmon such as sockeye. These fish eat vast amounts of phytoplankton and krill that contain astaxanthin.

To quote from one article on astaxanthin:

In Canada, astaxanthin is available as a dietary supplement and can be purchased without a prescription.

In Canada, supplement ingredients are regulated by Health Canada and must be approved as Natural Health Products (NHP) before they can be sold domestically. Astaxanthin qualifies as a NHP under Schedule 1, item 2 of the regulations as an isolate from a natural ingredient.

This compound is naturally found in Krill Oil and in Haematococcus pluvialis, a freshwater species of Chlorophyta. According to the Canadian Natural Health Products Database, Astaxanthin is an anti-oxidant which can help fight and protect cells against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

There are several different brands of astaxanthin supplements sold by retailers in Canada. You can find this supplement at GNC, Walmart, Costco, Shopper’s Drug Mart or from specialty online retailers. In most cases, astaxanthin is combined with other complementary antioxidants to improve efficacy and boost absorption.

Is someone now saying otherwise? ─ that it is prohibited for human ingestion ─ when I can buy it any day of the week at any of the stores mentioned, or eat it directly in sockeye salmon? I would suggest that whomever you have been in communication with about this is ill-informed.

As for Haematococcus pluvialis as its source for Boom Collagen+, as a scientific article at Frontiers in Plant Science (titled Astaxanthin-Producing Green Microalga Haematococcus pluvialis: From Single Cell to High Value Commercial Products) says, 'Among the commercially important microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest source of natural astaxanthin which is considered as “super anti-oxidant.”'

It is quite possible that many of the astaxanthin products available at the stores mentioned above ─ as well as Save-On-Foods and Real Canadian Superstore, for I have bought it there ─ may well have Haematococcus pluvialis as the astaxanthin source. 

Now concerning Acerola cherry extract as a vitamin C source being "novel", this snippet is from a Government of Canada webpage titled List of non-novel determinations for food and food ingredients:

I didn't know how to make that snippet larger, but the search can easily be reproduced at that webpage. 

"Non-novel" ─ notice that? How can the cherry fruit or concentrate be non-novel, but the cherry is somehow otherwise if vitamin C is distilled from it? Merely quoting what a novel food is defined as, but not actually showing anywhere that acerola cherry is indeed identified as falling within that category hardly proves the case in light of the reference I have provided.

In conclusion, I very much dispute that astaxanthin nor acerola cherries are incontestably listed anywhere as being prohibited. Heck, Haematococcus pluvialis and acerola cherries are listed in Appendix 3 of Health Canada's Drugs and Health Products: Antioxidants where is described the maximum daily doses of these substances. The dried algae Haematococcus pluvialis all on its own is cited as being acceptable for ingestion in an amount of one gram daily; acerola cherries at 100 grams fresh or 10 grams dry daily. 

Astaxanthin is listed in a few places on that same webpage. In one instance, it is given that 4mgs daily is the dose recommended for a three-month period; whereas in Appendix 2, an astaxanthin isolate (whatever that implies) is acceptable in up to 40mgs daily.

Thus, none of the cited Boom Collagen+ ingredients that were objected to are disallowed by Health Canada, despite what may have been relayed to you.

Am I somehow wrong despite everything I have provided from Health Canada's own databases? I would love to be in touch with your source in relation to all of this.

Not only are astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis, and acerola cherries all shown to be non-novel, Health Canada even lays out what are the guidelines for their daily ingestion!  

Something is very wrong here, E***. I get a strong sense that every effort is being made to justify the excess of two months (and counting) in which this shipment has been withheld. "Saving face" may be at play.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone concerned.  

I never completed high school, yet all of these boobs are supposedly degreed university graduates who may be with biochemical backgrounds.

And why is it that I have to plumb their own databases? They are supposed to be specialists in understanding what they are expected to be enforcing.

Why on bloody Earth am I being directed to submit a petition to have any of the three ingredients be reviewed as "novel foods" that are safe for consumption when their own database states that they are non-novel, and dose recommendations are listed for them all because they are already recognized as being medicinally safe when Health Canada's direction on dosage levels are followed?

This is beyond preposterous!

My wife and I are being taken advantage of because these buggers want to maintain the illusion of their seizure of the shipment as being justified, for they likely realize that holding up its delivery after such a long period of time when absolutely nothing was being done to validate / invalidate the products.

It happens that Boom Collagen+ has an expiry date of two years following its packaging. They have had the product for over two months to this point, and I have no idea just when the product was originally packaged ─ the clock is ticking!

No, this is outrageous.

I must change topics ─ this is exceedingly upsetting.

Although I sat up last evening awaiting my younger brother's arrival home from his 'socializing', for I wanted to watch an episode each of a couple of the T.V. series that we follow in common via the means of our Android TV Box, he proved to be besotted.

Nevertheless, I first tuned in an episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and he pretty much passed out through the entire show.

The silence that ensued when the episode ended and I was seeking a source for an episode of Inspector Morse roused him, and he was able to maintain conscious therefrom until we afterwards parted company for the night as we each sought our bedrooms.

I remained up longer than I intended, for I kept hoping that my wife was coming home after having worked that full day at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time. Our monthly mortgage was due today, and our chequing account was insufficient to meet the debit that was to come.

The account was only in that state because she owes it at least $2,600, by my reckoning. I was certain that she had said that she was to be getting paid that day, so I waited up in the hope that she would be able to at least cover the shortfall needed for the mortgage.

But she never did come home.

In some desperation, I finally texted her eldest son who was downstairs and watching a movie or something on a laptop; and he came upstairs to me to cover the gap by something like $85 as a cushion.

I must somehow come into the financial means to allow me to separate from the albatross that my wife has become ─ I long to be living far from here, but cannot due to financial responsibilities and the enormous credit debt that I allowed my wife to bury me beneath.

All else I wish to make mention of are the pair of videos that I watched this morning with my brother ─ again, I used our Android TV Box to enable us to watch them on T.V.

I led us off with a Rumble upload just yesterday to The Last American Vagabond channel: "Reimagined" Healthcare Proposed By Those Who Destroyed It & Ending The "Collapsing Athlete" Debate. 

I did not realize that the video was nearly two hours in length (1:59:22) ─ no wonder it seemed to run for so long, despite being decidedly interesting. 

The other video we were to watch was a June 11 upload by Liberty Coalition Canada to Rumble: The SHADOWY Origins of Klaus Schwab and the WEF w/Journalist Johnny Vedmore.

For this episode of Open Mike, Mike [Thiessen] is joined by independent journalist and occasional columnist for http://unlimitedhangout.com, Johnny Vedmore (johnnyvedmore.com), to talk about the mysterious origins of Klaus Schwab the leader of the World Economic Forum.

I was quite surprised to learn that Johnny Vedmore and Whitney Webb are 'involved' ─ they have a baby together. I knew that she was recently pregnant, but I had no idea whom by. Not that it would have meant anything to me ─ before today, I had never heard of Johnny Vedmore.

My evening is upon me, so I am going to halt on the blogging for today. I just hope that my brother is in better condition when he shows up this evening.
