“Who you are and what you are, don’t make no difference to me”
The essence of the 1960s, was not in particular rebellion but rejection of other peoples conventions for the ability to choose your own. This was the USA. And their music proclaims that dynamic often, as well as in the titles of the groups “The Grateful Dead” eg.
You should always bring this awareness of this to the negotiating table with still dealing with Americans. Not despairing. Just understandingly.
Charting their own path has been an intrinsic value for them. And still abides as well as the spirit of fair play. The tension is worth noteing.
Since 2010 in British Columbia, there’s been a group of people that have met and had fellowship going out with their passion to document and expond on the types and conditions for the natural ecology about Merritt.
They have recently changed their meetings from the third Thursday of every month to the second Thursday of every month. So the first meeting for their new year will be this coming Thursday the 20th of September 2026.
The format for the first meeting is always the AGM. The voting bar established by paid up memberships and they will take that at the meeting. For further details or a form that you can fill up prehand to go to their website.NNS
The Brief annual meeting is followed by a member’s photo night and discussion about the photos. And the meetings continue monthly second Thursday to the end of June.
To the one that never severs life from desire but holds both in partnership in pragmatic virtue.
Real or imagined
Which comes first or do you have to build that person on the assembly line of your virtue paid out in gentle steps and being followed in reserved excitement for every moment invested. KDG
So, as covid was starting 2019 in the back and forth about pipeline expansion to the West Coast was still in flux but not so much. At that time executive of Canada bought back from the Americans so the pipeline so that they could double it twin it + bring the oil to the West Coast. To be shipped.
So the Americans in their hegemony, had strategically relied on this. The new administration that came in found out about Canada’s was short of the recommended goal for NATO. That the 2% of the GDP for the countries in that collective security agreement should be spent on defense and that would be at the availability of the resolution # 5 That gave us collective security.
The original trans mountain pipeline in the 1950s was done by an act of the parliament of Canada. It was paid for by taxpayers to some measure,this providing security to Canadians for energy. However, at some point the Americans acquired it + before the twinning the Trudeau government had to pay them and buy it from them in the billions of dollars.
Defense spending percent of GDP
There may have been bad faith there’s you know let’s let him build it and then we can get it away from them again. So at this point we’re considering another pipeline to the coast. We have brought our defense spending up to 5%. So we are not as prone to give “Friend Discounts” now..
The Americans all through their hegemony hovered around 3.6% of their “world’s biggest GDP”. They paid out produceing nearly 800 military bases around the world.
Let’s play and not just get played.
Because Americans will:
Plays to make:
Sell them stock
Short ours..
Create a digital reserve fund as the only pay vehicle for oil.
Accuse the accuser.
Get a security discount for our role.
Consolidation
Play sectors against each other…
Offer governorships to make rivals.
Start wars to make it National security for us to want…
The point is that we are here to heal . The finger pointing is probably not productive. However, discovery is of use and here is what was determined from the Congressional hearings on Dr. Fauci’s involvement in covid-19.
The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2
The congressional hearings involving Dr. Anthony Fauci—most notably the marquee hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in June 2024 (as well as prior tense exchanges with:
COVID-19
Expansion runs the course with Covid 19
Editor’s note: Kudos to The Canadian people, who persevered and prospered and looked ahead. In particular, we think of the Trans mountain expansion that gave an industrial opportunity through covid as well as societal value to those that took up that row through two provinces and a nation. Their hope generation was inspiring.
The congressional hearings involving Dr. Anthony Fauci—most notably the marquee hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in June 2024 (as well as prior tense exchanges with lawmakers like Sen. Rand Paul)—were among the most fiercely partisan proceedings on Capitol Hill. Below is a breakdown of what he was accused of, how the hearings played out, and what the evidence actually established regarding claims of wrongdoing.
1. What Were the Main Accusations?
House Republicans and conservative critics leveled several key accusations against Dr. Fauci: * Funding “Gain-of-Function” Research in Wuhan: Critics accused the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under Fauci’s direction, of funding dangerous “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through grants to EcoHealth Alliance—alleging this research created SARS-CoV-2. * Suppressing the “Lab Leak” Theory: Accusations were made that Fauci orchestrated a cover-up to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis, bribing or pressuring scientists into publishing the March 2020 paper “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” to promote a natural origin narrative. * Misleading Congress: Lawmakers accused Fauci of lying under oath when he testified in 2021 that the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab. * Promoting “Unscientific” Guidelines & Mandates: Critics targeted public health guidance—such as six-foot social distancing rules, mask mandates, and vaccine requirements—claiming they lacked rigorous scientific backing and harmed businesses, schools, and personal freedoms. * FOIA Evasion / Misconduct by Staff: Subpoenaed emails showed a senior advisor to Fauci, Dr. David Morens, explicitly bragged about using personal email accounts and deleting records to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the origins of COVID-19.
2. Synopsis of How the Hearing Went
The June 2024 public hearing was marked by deep political polarization: * Republican Interrogations: GOP members subjected Fauci to aggressive questioning. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to address him as “Doctor,” called for him to be prosecuted for “crimes against humanity,” and caused a brief breakdown in committee decorum. Republican lawmakers argued that Fauci operated with extreme hubris and presided over destructive pandemic policies. * Democratic Defense: Democrats emphasized that Fauci had served under seven presidents, saved millions of lives through HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 research, and had become a scapegoat for partisan political attacks. They highlighted that no smoking gun had been produced linking NIH grants to the pandemic’s origin. * Fauci’s Testimony: Fauci defended his record, strongly rejecting claims that he covered up a potential lab leak. He stated that he kept an “open mind” regarding the virus’s origins, but emphasized that the specific bat coronaviruses studied under the NIH grant were genetically impossible to have been turned into SARS-CoV-2. 3. Did He Do Anything Wrong? Findings & Reality Check Investigations and testimony established the following facts regarding allegations against Fauci: ❌ Illegal Acts or Personal Corruption * No evidence of illegal conduct by Dr. Fauci: No congressional committee, federal agency, or law enforcement body found evidence that Dr. Fauci committed a crime, personally profited, or committed scientific fraud. * FOIA/Email claims: Fauci testified under oath that he never used private email for official government business. Investigators found no emails showing Fauci attempted to evade FOIA laws. ⚠️ Real Misconduct by a Senior Advisor (Dr. David Morens) * What was wrong: Subpoenaed emails revealed that Dr. David Morens (a senior advisor to Fauci) engaged in clear misconduct—using personal email, attempting to delete records to avoid FOIA, and sharing non-public information with EcoHealth Alliance. * Fauci’s response: Fauci explicitly condemned Morens’ actions during the hearing, testifying that Morens violated NIH policy and engaged in behavior that was “wrong and inappropriate.” 🔍 The “Gain-of-Function” & Definition Dispute * The debate: The disagreement over whether the NIH funded “gain-of-function” research comes down to definitions. * Fauci pointed to the strict federal regulatory definition (P3CO framework) in place at the time, under which the research did not qualify as gain-of-function. * Critics and some NIH officials argued that under a broader definition (enhancing a virus’s transmissibility or lethality), the research at Wuhan fit the description. * Crucial distinction: Regardless of definitions, virologists confirm that the viruses researched under the NIH grant were phylogenetically distinct from SARS-CoV-2—meaning they could not have mutated into or caused COVID-19. 📉 Public Health Guidance Criticisms * Social Distancing / Masks: Fauci acknowledged during interviews that early guidance (like 6-foot social distancing) was based on initial rule-of-thumb estimates from the CDC rather than clinical trial data. * While critics viewed this as evidence of arbitrary control, supporters and public health experts framed it as standard practice when responding to a novel virus with rapidly evolving information.
If questions weren’t challenging there would be no reason for the 5th amendment.
Editor’s note:
Not usually a dreamer but:
I had a strange dream the other night and I saw Dr. Fauci at an airport gate and somehow I was going in and he was going out. Sorry was the other way around. You got to get this right?
Then I said hi to him and he seemed defensive and I told him I was aware of the passing of the longest living iron lung treated person. This girl at 5 years old contracted polio wound up paralyzed and spent 73 of 78 years of life paralyzed.
She died July 26th. 2026, her name was Martha Lillard.
I said I was vaccinated about her age and still have a scar on my arm.
In my dream it seemed he smiled when I said thanks for the vaccines. Being a Canadian he probably had no responsibility for my vaccines but he didn’t know that.
Personally, I took all the vaccinations in that time frame. I took some heat from security people that were against vaccinations or at least challenging me about vaccinations when I went in for my first one at the arena.
When quarantines ended. I went out the first night to a singing thing, that was Friday by Sunday I felt sick. I had gotten some kits for testing and I went home or I was home and I tested, and I was positive. I’m thankful that I had all the vaccinations. I tested a couple times during the self isolation all positive.
Five days and feeling better, I could come out of self-isolation. And I did. So that was the only time that I got it during the whole pandemic! And I’m thankful for the time I have. Never tested again never tested negative.
