Green Affected City of Vancouver and VPD: Green police state has begun
| 15 December 2009
Here comes a very special and very personal post. Our website has just surpassed one hundred thousand unique visitors and over 500 articles from some of the best scientists, journalists, and freedom fighters on the planet. We thank all of the contributors, submissions, and news tips sent by all of you.
To mark this special occasion, I coincidentally had a run in with a very scary new "green" authoritarian organization right here in my backyard. This group of legalized criminals is better known as the Vancouver Police Department.
Yes yes I know, they're small potatoes compared to our real enemies at the US administration and the UN which we fight against daily. But nevertheless, the day that many people have feared has arrived. The day that carbon cops coming to visit and ticketing us for living our normal lives. It's here.
So, what was the police visit about, you ask. Well, no, it had nothing to do with this website, our mission, and our constant fight for the green truth. They weren't acting as thought police, don't worry. In fact, it wasn't about any real crime at all. It was all about the VPD enforcing a feely-goody nonsensical bylaw on a taxpayer who pays their fat salaries.They decided to send a V8-powered Ford Crown Victoria all the way across town to, get this, tell me to turn off my truck engine! I'm not making this up.
As all our Vancouver readers likely know thanks to the hundreds of taxpayer-funded propaganda street signs all over the city, it is against a city bylaw (but not a real law!) to idle your vehicle engine for more than three minutes. It is, of course, a bylaw that makes absolutely no scientific sense and should be ignored and protested at every opportunity. Cops leave their cars running for full shifts, hypocrites. And any city bylaw that doesn't apply to a police car running its engine most certainly doesn't apply to my car. Police are not above the law, despite their actions to the contrary.
It is below freezing tonight thanks to global warming, and as any good mechanic will tell you, it is best to ALWAYS run your engine for five to ten minutes to properly warm it up and get the juices flowing BEFORE you drive. Especially large engines and older engines. There is simply no such law or peace officer who has any right whatsoever to instruct a citizen how to properly start and maintain his/her vehicle.
Furthermore, all vehicles registered here in Vancouver are inspected by AirCare which ensures that vehicle emissions systems are functioning properly. To be precise, if your car passes AirCare, that means your catalytic converter is working properly and your vehicle is emitting primarily CO2 (plant food) instead of actual harmful substances. The officers didn't get that memo. One of them even claimed "It's for the environment!" as she handed me the ticket. Oh wait, you mean like pretty much every single eco-scam money grab in existence these days? Yeah, thought so. She's the criminal, not me. Just like Gordon Campbell, our Premiere, is an even bigger criminal thanks to his carbon taxes imposed on all citizens of this province.
Thanks to the hugely successful environmentalist campaigns we always talk about here which have managed to convince many average Joe's that CO2 is a "pollutant", that has become the very basis for this city bylaw along with curbing "GHG" emissions they still believe are harmful. ("Bylaws" are certainly not the law of the land, and the more of them that are created the less significant they all seem to become. This one is beyond common sense)
At any given time you're always doing something illegal no matter what, and therefore the police can harass you whenever they want. That's not much of an exaggeration.
But here's where it gets even more insane: Of course it's perfectly okay to DRIVE AROUND for ten minutes, but if your vehicle is stopped, they can hit you with a fine! This is madness, a slap in the face to our rights, and due to the enforcement officers' decision to serve me with a fine tonight, I'm fighting back. Funny, how the police actually cause their own battles, eh? They could have expressed their opinion on the matter or better yet, do what feels right. Instead, like the drones that they are, they must do everything by the book and trained to immediately intimidate if you show resistance. Or maybe they actually buy into the carbon-is-bad religion? I don't know, but I attempted conversation. No dice. Here's your fine, good night. As soon as they left I started my engine. Assholes. And yes, they were videotaped. I will catch them doing something wrong at any opportunity possible.
This entire issue must be fought, and I shall never pay any fine which is immoral to me. It's immoral because there is no reason for this bylaw aside for making money for the city coffers and giving the police yet another reason to make themselves feel powerful. Any law or bylaw as assinine as this heeds no respect and I do not recognize the authority of anyone who attempts enforcement of it. I don't give a rats ass if you have a badge, you're not doing your duty as a peace officer if this is how you earn your payroll. And, as I told it to their faces, it's beyond ridiculous and I will fight it.
It is unthinkable that it takes them over half an hour to show up if your house is broken into (if they show at all), but within ten minutes they're harassing someone for the horrible crime of warming up their vehicle. Why? Easy money. Or perhaps some greenie complained thanks to their new "weapon". If this is not the true beginning of a green police state, I don't know what is. Now, just imagine if those UN criminals in Copenhagen manage to get even deeper into our lives. Will the VPD and RCMP attempt to enforce "carbon limits" through various laws and bylaws such as this? Will you be told to turn off and restart your engine at red lights and traffic jams, therefore ruining your starter and causing unneccesary wear and tear on your engine?
Time to speak up. And if the UN, federal government, RCMP, and local police start restricting travel rights and threaten property rights, then it's time to arm yourself, Canadians. Not just physically but also with knowledge. This "bylaw" is a small step towards a much scarier picture, such as the proposed Cap-and-tax legislation being pushed by the Obama administration. Part of that legislation calls for issuing fines to homeowners if their house isn't deemed "energy efficient" enough. And charging you with "unlawfully occupying" your own home. I know that Americans will not stand for that, and will fight back with force if necessary.
What I'm dealing with here is just the beginning of that nightmare. I have fought this city and province before, and magically I had over $1500.00 in fines erased from my record and no trace of any wrong doing whatsoever. It was an unrelated matter, but since you will all want to know, I'll tell you. It was actually an issue about driving rights VS what the police like to call driving "privileges", dealing with "Motor Vehicle acts" and so-called bylaws that hamper our inalienable right to drive. Another unrelated matter I looked into was regarding the VPD being under the delusion they have any right to tell a citizen that they cannot be in a public park or beach after 10pm (yes, it's another city "bylaw" with no teeth). Turns out the VPD are out to lunch on that one too, and consistently violate people's rights anyhow. Is it just bad training? Probably. But they believe what they're told, and they don't expect us to be armed with knowledge they are either unaware of or don't care about.
I took the driving issue to our provincial government, reaffirmed my rights, threatened legal action (with the help of a knowledgeable common-law lawyer and the support of my closest media contact) and low and behold everything was suddenly fine again. No trace, nothing. Basically they don't want certain information widespread. I will not go into more details here, but I will say that I have a totally clean record, even the police can't find any dirt! Nothing. Not a mention of anything. That's right, they do not know everything about me. I have never broken any real laws, but I sure as hell noticed how they're trampling on our rights and made too much noise! I now play by the "rules", to keep life simple and painless day to day. But I will defend myself, my rights, and I'll go all out when I'm pushed, as I was tonight.
On this site, our contributors and I often suggest that the UN, Al Gore and David Suzuki get locked up for their criminal acts in funding their organizations, but I also think any and all peace officers and enforcement agencies that attempt enforcement of bylaws and regulations that violate any rights, either under the Charter here in Canada, our constitution, or under the equivalent constitution in your country, should also be considered criminals. Especially when those bylaws are based on an ideology, not facts and science. And never forget that your basic common-law rights supersede even the Charter and constitutions and cannot be affected by any legislations that impact your rights.
This anti-idle bylaw is unenforceable, scientifically invalid, and is nothing more than a PR campaign for the new "Green Vancouver" image our city officials have been trying to push on the world. And of course, it helps secure the voters on the left. I will absolutely not pay this fine, and any action to reach into my wallet, hamper my vehicle, impede my travel, or just waste my time, either by the city or VPD is equal to a criminal act in my opinion.
In protest, I will be running the truck every night for ten minutes, and will record a video of this "unlawful act" while parked in front of the new Carbon Cop station itself. (Watch for video soon)
The pair who visited tonight (badge #'s PC2659, PC2553) should be ashamed, their boss should be held accountable, and the COV and VPD can take turns sucking on my exhaust. That's the closest they'll ever get to my money.
This article and my defiance would not exist if they had not decided to issue me with their fake fine for breaking their fake laws. This is not about the $45 ticket, it's about honesty and common sense. If we allow this to continue, where will it end? And let's put things in perpective while we're at it. Millions of us fight against the UN and the world's wealthy elitists who are pushing their CO2-is-evil hoax on the public, and we have been gaining strong ground. Thanks to the Climategate scandal and a massive 360 degree turn in public opinion, we are winning the green battle. Hundreds of people show up to anti-Al Gore protests on a regular basis. Imagine if the police started enforcing this phony CO2 bylaw on a wide scale!
The UN is beginning to run scared, scientists are speaking out, people are stepping down, and media coverage is helping our cause. Do local police departments and local city councils really think they're going to intimidate and bully us? I think not. And I won't play along.
Regards, and 100,000+ thanks to all our readers,
