warning from a Legislative Assistant: Testimony

Heads Up! The shooting started on Parliament at 9:52 AM. This photo was taken at 9:30 AM

"I'm a legislative assistant, here is the view outside my office at 9:30a.m, (about 15 minutes before the 'crazed' gunman). Just a shit ton of cops hanging out by west block for no reason.
I know two things they aren't telling the press/public. Hopefully you dipshits will take this serious because my career is on the line.
a car bomb was set off in the Nepean area today and knocked off the main transmitter killing power to our city's west end.
police used jammers to disrupt ALL cell phones in the downtown area during lockdown

Why does this matter?
why the fuck to ottawa police (not just RCMP) have the capacity to do this?
this was just a test. Brace yourselves

If you see/hear that a legislative assistant died, had an accident, committed suicide whatever I'd like to say for the record that I've never wanted to kill myself. I take my job serious, but I ask honest questions.

Wednesday's there are events hosted at parliament, and security is slack. There was no need for all these police at parliament this morning pre-shooting incident. Nobody (pm and opposition leaders excluded) of great significance was scheduled for today.

Further, blowing up the west end's transmitter should just make people angry, not dependent on the government. I feel like if we don't stand up right now, we will be baited into losing everything because ISIS.

One last fun-fact: yesterday the house debated two things
Ebola in west Africa
terrorist attack/not terrorist attack in Canada "

les militaires on recu l'ordre de ne plus porter leur uniforme en public.

c'est quoi que vous en penser?

pour ma part, je pense que cette mesure peut "peux-etre" eviter que d'autre militaire soit la cible facile de radicaux. Mais en meme temps, je trouve ca un ironique, de se "cacher" comme ca, sous la menace terroriste. Qui selon moi, on p-e reussi a nous terroriser.

j'aurais preferer qu'on arme toutes nos soldats et qu'on les deplois a tout les coins de rue pour "demontrer" qu'on a le control et qu'on ne se laisserais pas "terroriser" par les terroristes.

discuss.

It's idiotic if you're an idiot, yes.

Would you say Stephen Hawking is an idiot?

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

― Stephen Hawking



EDIT :

Actually, let's go ahead and call Hubert Reeves an idiot too because he doesn't believe in it either.

"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature that he has been destroying is this God he's worshiping."


These quotes are not proof that there is or isn't a god of course (there is enough proof as is), but they are a small sample of the overwhelming tendency of really smart people to not believe any of that bullshit.

What's your stance on that bro?

présentement les soldats sont ciblés et ne peuvent pas porter leur arme en public. Ils mettent leur vie en danger et celle des autres. Je suis un peu d'accord avec cette mesure. Je me mets à leur place et je me sentirais plus nerveux pour pas grand avantage.

Just because some smart people doesn't believe in god, doesn't make you smart for not believing in god

Even if that was true, I would still choose to side with the "some smart peoples" who have pushed the world forward and don't devote their lives to holding it back.

We both know I'm not going to spend the rest of the day posting quotes from other smart people who share this mindset, although we both know there would be enough material to spend weeks doing it.

EDIT : Stephen Hawking, as a true scientist was "skeptical" for years, but ultimately just let it go and admitted that in his book "A brief history of time, he used the word god as a shorthand for the current understanding of physics at the time the book was written.

"In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics."

Others have done it too, and as some of them pointed out, if your TV show is publicly funded and you outright deny god on it, you're fucked, so you gotta be clever about it. It ultimately allows you to broadcast religion destroying TV shows and masquerade them as investigative skepticism, which is hilarious.

Everyone knows, but no one will admit it outright because dumb religious peasants pay taxes.

Muslims Demand Special “Muslim” Welfare… The Details Are Absurd
A Somali women’s advocacy group in Minnesota, known as Isuroon, is demanding that the major metropolitan area of the state provide ‘halal’ food within their food bank for needy Islamic citizens, according to the Inquisitr.

Halal food is that which is permissible to eat under Islamic law, which generally means pork-free, as Muslims consider pork unclean and inedible.

The group is demanding that Hennepin county create a special ‘Halal shelf’ at the food bank, at taxpayer expense, specifically for Muslims to use.

“Isuroon has reached out for Hennepin County’s support for the Ethnic Food Shelf, and has cooperated fully with the Hennepin County commissioner’s office and provided the county with their required qualifications,” the group said in a statement. “The commissioner’s office has ignored Isuroon’s requests for review and the community needs to respond to let the public know what has transpired. We want to make Commissioner Peter McLaughlin and the public know that we are serious about our need for an Ethnic Food Shelf which provides halal and appropriate nutrition for our community.”

Sometimes I find it funny that most people who try to tell others that religion is all wrong will say: "Try to think for yourself. Don't follow others or what a book says". Yet, in this case you had to quote someone to prove your point. (Which is fine in my opinion, but just to show the contradiction...)
