TSX 666


There it was in the news 666. No not the Omen release, the TSX.

It closed yesterday with the mark of the Beast.

Of course we all realize that the Great Beast is Capitalism.


The best definition of Satan is that he is the father of lies. In his interview of the demons, Dr. Peck lists the lies that repeatedly came from the possessed persons.

  • Humans must defend themselves in order to survive and cannot rely on anything other than themselves in their defense.
  • Everything is explainable in terms of positive and negative energy.
  • There is no mystery in the world.
  • Love is a thought and has no objective reality.
  • Science is whatever one chooses to call science.
  • Death is the absolute end to life – there is no more.
  • All humans are motivated primarily by money, and if this appears not to be the case, it is only because they are hypocrites.
  • To compete for money is the only intelligent way to live.
What you didn't?!

Did you actually think it was some guy with a tail and horns?

Some folks did.

Dutch lead prayer marathon on 'Devil's day'

World fails to end on Devil's Day


Some folks actually buy into the whole myth of 666, well the commercialized version.

PROUD mum Suzanne Cooper gave birth to this little devil on 06/06/06 yesterday - and named him DAMIEN.

Teacher Suzanne, 36, was induced for six days before Damien arrived at 06.59am - tipping the scales at a spine-chilling 6lb 6oz.

She said: "We are overjoyed. The Omen is one of our favourite films and I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the sixth.

"He's a perfect baby - nothing at all like Damien in The Omen."

Dad Mike rushed Suzanne to hospital in Bristol last Wednesday after she began having back pain.

The baby was due on Saturday and doctors decided to induce her - but little Damien refused to be delivered until yesterday
And science, opps science is of course a tool of the devil, explains it this way; Why 666 is a devil of a day

And some folks figure they can cash in on it. A Day in Hell, Michigan

And 666 is not just being used as a marketing tool for those embracing the fallen angel's imagery. Conservative writer Ann Coulter is using the devil's day to release her new book "Godless," a criticism of liberals in America published by Crown Forum.

See what did I say; Capitalism is the Great Beast.

Anti-Scab Legislation


The BQ private members Bill C-257 to Amend the Canada Labour Act to include anti-scab legislation had second reading in the house yesterday. You can read the debate here.

It is one of two private members bills coming before the house on this issue, which was also debated in the last parliament but went down to defeat at the hands of the Liberals.

In his opening comments
Mr. Richard Nadeau (Gatineau, BQ, who brought forward the bill said;

Mr. Speaker, I am very honoured to again present Bill C-257, an act to amend the Canada Labour Code (replacement workers).

The Bloc Québécois has made it a duty to present this anti-scab legislation for the tenth time. There should no longer be two categories of workers in Quebec, namely, those governed by the Canada Labour Code, which allows the use of scabs, and those governed by the Quebec Labour Code, which does not.

This bill is designed to put an end to the inequity between workers governed by the Quebec Labour Code and those governed by the Canada Labour Code. Only Quebec and British Columbia have legislation prohibiting the use of scabs. Four provinces, including Ontario, however, already have anti-scab provisions in their labour codes.

Let us recall that Mike Harris’s Conservative Ontario government, three of whose ministers may be found in today’s federal cabinet, shamefully legalized the use of scabs again.

In Quebec, the adoption of an anti-scab law goes back to December 1977, under René Lévesque’s Parti Québécois government. Getting his government to adopt this anti-scab legislation guaranteeing respect for workers was an impressive leap forward.

Coming at the end of a particularly tumultuous strike at the United Aircraft factory in Longueuil, this legislation, by seriously hindering employers who could not care less about their unionized employees, placed Quebec in the North American vanguard in this area.

Anti-scab legislation will be good for all workers, both in Quebec and elsewhere in the provinces and territories.

In New Brunswick, union leaders have already been asking for some time for anti-scab provisions in their labour code. Likewise in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where the unions are trying to convince their New Democratic governments to adopt such measures.

In federal legislation, section 94(2.1) of the Canada Labour Code contains a prohibition respecting replacement workers, but only if an employer uses them with a view to undermining the union’s representational capacity.

This prohibition is very weak, because an employer simply has to go on recognizing the union in place and go on negotiating to avoid undermining the union’s representational capacity and it is entitled to use replacement workers.

In other words, if an employer refuses to negotiate while using replacement workers, the Canada Industrial Relations Board can prohibit their use. But all an employer has to do is negotiate or appear to be negotiating with the union to avoid this prohibition and go on using scabs. So we can see that this is a ridiculous provision and provides a loophole allowing the use of scabs.

The prohibition respecting the hiring of replacement workers during a labour dispute is therefore more necessary than ever.

The debate was important enough that the Minister of Labour showed up to debate against the bill. No surprise there. However he does defend the principles of class war. Something the unions will have to deal with if either bill fails to pass.

"We must consider another important principle. Let us go back to the negotiations I mentioned earlier. Some say that the employer's right to lock out employees offsets the union's right to strike, but that is not the case. The employer's right to continue operating during a strike corresponds to the employees' right not to go to work."


The point of a strike is to end production, to end the employers ability to operate. And here the truth is told. The provision to lock out which was once considered enough to balance the unions right to strike, has now been replaced with the owners right to hire scabs. And that my friends is class war.

Thus every strike should be considered the basis for a General Strike, since an injury to on, is an injury to all. The State and the capitalists understand and fear this. They understand class war better than the unions, whose purpose is to ameloriate workers demands for the interests of capital and its state.

The Accidental Budget

Oh is that why the bells were ringing in the house?

Tory budget passes - accidentally Liberals, NDP sat there, unaware

The MPs were apparently expecting Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy to address the House. When she didn't show up, the Speaker moved on to the budget, catching the small smattering of MPs in the chamber off guard. Not realizing they were voting on the budget at third reading, the Liberals and NDP sat quietly, enabling the measure to pass without challenge.

Too bad think what would have happened if they all woke up and realised they could probably defeat the budget.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, wasn't even in the House for the vote

This is a political gaffe.

Gilles Duceppe, the Bloc Quebecois leader, suggested it was either an error, as the parties opposed to the budget bill say, which shows that they are "incompetent," or it was not an error and they are "liars."

Gee Gilles thats the pot calling the kettle black. Guess you didn't take up Charest's challenge to bring down the government over Kyoto and the failure to pay Quebec its due.

Or they could blame it on the devil since yesterday was 6/6/6
