This Saturday in Owen Sound – The Obama Deception

March 24, 2009

The following is an email we received from Doug Schapira of the Owen Sound Free Press

Owen Sound Free Press Needs You….

Please see attachment for a film presentation this Saturday in Owen Sound – The Obama Deception- I admire Obama supporters- they are looking for “Change” and “Hope”- I also seek this same ideals. Unfortunately Mr. Obama has failed the American people on several key campaign promises including an immediate end to the war in Iraq- he is calling for increased military intervention in Afghanistan. He has essentially given away almost $10 Trillion to private banks and corporations. His top advisers are all Wall St. agents that seek to put not only the USA into receivership, but also Canada. Obama’s bail out and stimulus packages are all money borrowed mostly from the PRIVATELY OWNED Federal Reserve.

Countless locals look to Obama as a, “North American Leader” I urge you all to not give up your identity as a Canadian to some bizarre super state the combines not only the US and Canada but also Mexico. Obama has pledged to continue the integration process between Canada and the US/ Mexico- referred to as the North American Union. This process would eventually, if successful hold Canadians liable to pay back a part of the huge debt Obama is amassing through Bailouts and Stimulus Packages. 2010 is the target for full integration between Canada and  US/MEXICO.

Obama is passing a National Service bill that makes it mandatory for all US citizens 18 to 25 to serve the US- this is a draft! Obama is instituting a 1 million strong armed youth core- with the similar powers of military- He is in the process of disarming law abiding US citizens, he has plans to institute criminal matters to be dealt with by an International court where citizens will be stripped of their constitutional rights- is this the future you want? This combined with Obama’s Demigod Cult of personality status and his good looks/speaking skills is not only extremely deceptive,it is in fact dangerous.

Let’s forget about the Left Right Political Paradigm and understand we have two choices Freedom or Tyranny- Only Through Truth will we have Peace and Justice- we must peacefully unite. The mainstream media is a dangerous fraud, it is ultimately controlled by the same corporate powers that seek to put Canada into receivership and buy it up for pennies on the dollar. It’s all about World Government- please consider joining us on Saturday- I have plans for a community workshop that focuses on a strategy that will allow us to survive this coming turmoil and perhaps avert it all together.

Peace- Doug Schapira

March Jelly is this week: Wednesday, March 25, 2009

March 23, 2009

jelly This is a reminder to all that the next instalment of Jelly is taking place this Wednesday, March 25th. For those of you who are not yet familiar with the Jelly concept it goes a little like this… (for the record you can read a lot more about it in our earlier post here)

Jelly is a day of casual co-working for the self employed, entrepreneurial set. Actually you are more than welcome to come along if you happened to be an employee with an enlightened boss that sees the value in networking and knowledge exchange! Go ahead and ask… it can’t hurt now can it?

The idea was born (Ok , I found it online….) out of a wish/want/need for a little more human connection in my workday, or at least one workday a month. Jellly then serves as a sort of “company watercooler” for those of us that don’t have the corporate/office culture in our day to day.

If you can make it out it would be great to see you. Be sure to pass the link/details on to anyone you think might be interested as well.

So the summary…

When

March 25th, 2009. Somewhere in the 9-5 (ish) range. You don’t need to come for the whole day but you might just want to.

Where?

The event will take place at 925 2nd Ave West in Owen Sound. A couple of parking spots can be arranged. Otherwise there is parking on 1st ave west.

Leading up to the event if you have any questions feel free to contact Ryan (wiseman@theowen.com) or shoot us a message via the contact page.
