Launching Danielle Smith's Premiership of Alberta

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in the Politics of Canada's Oil and Gas-Rich Province

Hopium and dejection, fanaticism and pragmatism, reason and dementia are all in full conflict as human civilization wobbles precipitously on the edge of a global abyss. Currently the Middle East stands at the forefront of the devastation wrought by extremism unleashed. Even in the midst of this turmoil, however, there are, here and there, some promising signs of possible redemption. Key developments in these bright spots hold the potential of beginning the process of stopping and reversing humanity’s rapid fall into satanic devastation.

The Canadian province of Alberta where I live is the site of one such possible turnaround. It is becoming a very active laboratory for the testing of all sorts of experiments, interactions and innovations. As the realization continues to sink in of the fuller implications of the biowarfare aimed at all of humankind since the release of the mRNA injections in 2021, Alberta is one of a handful of jurisdictions where there is some potential for citizens to get together to bring a measure of ameliorative rehabilitation to our core institutions.

Rookie Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, is near the centre of much of the hubbub. Last May Premier Smith’s United Conservative Party (UCP) won a renewed mandate to govern Canada’s most rebellious province. Smith’s still-growing popularity was recently confirmed by her hosting one of the largest annual general meetings of a political party in Canadian history.

Danielle Smith is a sprightly and attractive politicians who is emerging as a more intelligent, erudite and abstemious version of populist Alberta Premier, Ralph Klein. I met Premier Klein in person shortly after moving from Ontario to Alberta in the early 1990s to take up my new job as a Native American Studies Prof here on the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains. In a tee-pee encampment at the nearby Blood Reserve, I had a chance to observe that the late Ralph Klein was a pretty good Blackfoot speaker. Legendary for his carousing bouts of partying with average folks, Klein had a gift for relating in a very convivial fashion with all kinds of people and constituencies.

Like Klein, Premier Smith did a stint as a broadcaster on her way to the province’s top job. While Klein had much help from the media in his ascendance to power, the same was not true of Smith.

Ralph Klein and Danielle Smith

At every stage of her campaign to become premier with a majority of seats in the Alberta Legislature, Smith has had to face strong headwinds of hostility from the press. No doubt those who stage manage the rigged theatrics disguised as democracy are loosing sleep because of Premier Smith’s ability to gain public trust in spite of the full force of a well-coordinated media smear campaign aimed against her.

During the recent election campaign, the legacy media lined up strongly to push the agenda and image of Rachel Notley. Between 2015 and 2019, Notley was Premier of Alberta. When she was defeated by the newly-created United Conservative Party, Notley became Leader of the Official Opposition Party in Alberta’s Legislature. As the manufactured COVID crisis touched down in Alberta as well as the rest of the world, Notley’s priority was to join in the unions’ push for more masking, more lockdowns, more mandates, more jabs, and more school tyranny. In fact the word “tyranny” well describes our relationship with our well-bribed and well-coddled governors who refused to protect us from the bioweapon attacks pointed our way.

In making her way into the premier’s job, Smith also had to contend with the divisions that developed in and around the United Conservative Party. The splits occurred when a sizeable portion of UCP members mounted a campaign to remove from office Alberta’s previous premier, Jason Kenney. Kenney had dismayed many Albertans when he went along with the globalists’ Covid policies pushed ahead with particular zeal by the now-notorious Justin Trudeau.

Partly because of these twists and turns, Alberta has come to epitomize some of the larger global trends currently underway. This phenomenon has its roots in the gradual realization among the independent-minded minority that has been paying attention to the coercive contortions executed in the name of a supposed medical fight to vanquish COVID-19. We the attentive were early to come to the conclusion that the push to inject all the world’s people with the mRNA jabs was not what it was made to seem. The unprecedented procedure was not meant as a remedy for illness. Rather the attempt to universalize the jabs formed the basis of a damaging and deadly attack aimed at the global population.

The real purpose of the COVID jabs was to initiate a number of processes including global depopulation as well as those of the genetic modification and transhuman alteration of the survivors. As this attack was pushed forward, we began to observe that something fundamental had changed within our governments as reflected in the unreasonable constraints suddenly imposed on our most basic rights and freedoms.

We began to notice the courts in many countries almost uniformly ignored the many codified constitutional protections for our harshly violated rights and freedoms. Again and again judges sided with the unreasonable and unjustified constraints imposed by governments. With their COVID mandates and restrictions, these governments and judges that backed them were not acting in conformity with the principles of credible science.

We began to notice the consistency and the extremity of the media’s blinkered and censorious coverage of the manufactured COVID crisis. This coverage almost uniformly highlighted the interpretations of government officials while banishing from the big media venues highly-credentialed medical experts and practitioners. We began to notice that many of these top experts in their fields were subject to ruthless ad hominem attacks. We began to notice the so many of the genuine experts were subject to interventions by their professional associations whose intent was to damage and deplatform some of their most accomplished members. Ultimately the aim was to Shut the Experts Up.

These realizations were accompanied by a growing awareness that the deaths and serious injuries unleashed by the mRNA injections were far in excess of the problems created by the supposedly new coronavirus. In spite of the barrage of media lies and deceptions, we began to notice all that flowed from the World Health Organization’s empowerment of a worldwide network of Covidian commissars. These commissars basically took on the role of wolves charged to protect citizen chicken coops in one country after the next.

Premier Daniel Smith started her roll to the Premier’s Office by joining our informed minority of Covidian skeptics. In that capacity she assisted in the emergence of a distinctly Albertan version of the worldwide resistance movement that continues to coalesce. By now it is becoming increasingly clear that the originating process was hatched a time when we have a tremendous need for well-organized resistance against the predator class seeking depopulation along with the further enslavement of the survivors of the mRNA/lipid nanoparticle injections.

Defending the “Unvaxxed” from Discriminatory Oppression

Premier Smith’s inaugural UCP AGM in early November of 2023 can be seen as avant garde event giving an early signal of where some of the increasingly well-organized and energized activists in the the struggle against the COVID restrictions and mandates may be headed. We have seen through the lies and deceptions and are well aware that out governments and media have been participants in an ongoing scheme that already has killed and injured many in the global community including in Alberta.

We are aware, moreover, that the push to sterilize, depopulate and conduct unregulated medical experiments on human subjects is far from over and may continue under a variety of banners including the fake fight to stop the climate from changing. Of course the weird alchemy attending the climate change controversy is becoming integral to the balance of power in Canada’s system of federal-provincial relations, but especially Ottawa-Edmonton relations.

The new premier of Alberta forthrightly condemned the discrimination entailed in the coercive tactics deployed worldwide to universalize the COVID jab. Premier Smith did so during an interval in 2022 after she had replaced Kenney as premier but before she received a popular mandate from the Alberta electorate. She indicated that the apartheid-like restrictions enforced to punish the so-called “unvaxxed” for their medical choices, formed the basis of the most discriminatory process she had ever witnessed in her lifetime.

Many in Canada and throughout the world agreed wholeheartedly with this bold statement, one that will go down in provincial and world history. Nothing quite like Smith’s comment has been uttered so far by any other top official at the head of a government with major economic and political clout. Not surprisingly, the statement proved to be polarizing. The comment sent Rachel Notley and her cheer leaders in the legacy media into spasms of indignant condemnation.

In completely denying the severe discrimination that Notley had herself advocated, the NDP Leader set a classic example of the internal contradictions within the perceptual cosmos of Woke extremism. Notley pushed aside Smith’s observation by falling back on stereotypical examples of racism to rationalize her blindness to the medical apartheid she champions.

Notley refused to address, for starters, her own advocacy of the loss of jobs, income, and access to education in order to severely punish those that refused to bend to the pressure to take the untested experimental injections. These clot shots ended up being just as lethal and injurious as many experts had predicted.

The murderous and injurious outcomes of this concerted attack on the health of the world’s population is becoming increasingly clear in spite of the ongoing cover up of the extent of the enormous crimes against humanity that have taken place and are continuing to take place. So far there has been no honest reckoning in governments and criminal courts with the implications of the huge surges of deaths from 2021 to the present.

These deaths point back to the high rates of injection that lead inexorably to high rates of death by blood clots, heart ailments, supercharged turbocancers, and many other so-called “adverse events.” The plague of death and illnesses from the jabs extend to children and formerly healthy young people. Nevertheless the denial and well-organized cover up and continues. Will Alberta be a place where new ground is broken in terms in terms of holding accountable those responsible for the crimes against humanity that permeate many facets of the manufactured COVID crisis.

Compassionate Conservatism?

Premier Smith has yet to make good on her promise that the medical apartheid created by the coercive push to universalize the mandated injections will be made subject to the protections of Alberta’s Human Right Act. The need for such protections are especially pertinent now that it has been well documented by Sasha Latapova and others that the jabs are really Pentagon-developed bioweapons disguised as medical cures for a supposedly “novel” coronavirus.

https://www.globalresearch.ca/military-bioweapon-disguised-medical-cure/5829081

Premier Smith has not yet effectively delivered on her promise to assert the much needed disciplinary control over the free-wheeling medical empire of Alberta Health Services. (AHS). As it now stands, this seemingly unaccountable leviathan effectively forms an unaccountable government within a provincial government. The AHS spends almost half of Alberta’s $70 billion budget.

Like many similar publicly and privately-financed health care organizations throughout the world, the AHS is run by a handful of highly-placed operatives who are well integrated into global networks of related agencies. These agencies include the corporate infrastructure of Big Pharma and the UN’s World Health Organization. The Bill Gates group of “philanthropies” like Gavi are well integrate into the WHO which itself is largely funded by Gates. It is no accident that these supposed “health” organizations as well as the World Economic Forum are headquartered amidst the crime-ridden Swiss-based banking regime.

This regime includes the Bank of International Settlements, the central bank for central bankers still dominated by the circle of families revolving around the Rothschild clan. As was clearly illustrated for the attentive in the course of the COVID Hoax, this transnational network, within which the upper echelons of the AHS reside, can be conceived of collectively as a ruthless mafioso serving some of the most sinister lobbies on Earth.

In her speech at the annual general meeting of the United Conservative Party, Premier Smith promised that she would finally take on the AHS Behemoth that to this day is still promoting toxic fluoride in communal drinking water along with the discredited COVID-19 booster shots. “Decentralization” was the code word Smith used in announcing her plan to fix up or replace the AHS. Without some major rejigging, the AHS will remain unaccountable to the government of Alberta and to the tax payers that fund it.

Premier Smith’s speech was upbeat, tight and effectively delivered. Several times she referred to her core approach to governing Alberta as “compassionate conservatism.” I shall have more to say on Smith’s commitment to compassionate conservatism in light of the obscenities currently unfolding in the Middle East.

To me Smith’s commitment to compassionate conservatism conjures up memories of what used to be called Red Toryism. The Red Tory ideal was embraced, for instance, by Joe Clark. Clark is another Conservative Albertan who was briefly Prime Minister of Canada in 1979-80.

As a compassionate conservative, Premier Smith stands to claim a lot of political turf essentially abandoned by the Liberal and NDP parties. There have moved away from bread and butter issues as well as from the realm of rights and freedoms and civil liberties and even social welfare for average Canadians not engaged in the mysteries of exploring gender pluralism. Whatever their rhetoric, the resort of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his NDP backers to Woke authoritarianism is highlighting the common sense approach of Conservatives at both the national and provincial levels.

As Smith well explained in her AGM speech, a key to financing “compassionate conservatism” in Alberta lies in the conscientious development and wise exploitation of the treasure trove of oil and gas resources in Canada’s most immense and lucrative Oil Patch. The practical side of developing this major natural resource has been infamously attacked by the Trudeau government and especially by its primary green energy crusader, Steven Guilbeault.

In contrast to the Smith government, the Trudeau- Guilbeault duo do not have a solid political base beneath them to support the implementation of their Quixotic and science-bereft plans for a radical transformation of Canada’s political economy.

It seems fitting that Trudeau’s career is plunging in the midst of his attempt to force Albertans to put aside their careful development of one of the greatest energy sources in the world. This development has for some time employed hard-working Canadians from coast to coast to coast, spreading the wealth in ways that have elevated our country’s standard of living in many important ways.

At the heart of the current controversy is the federal government’s attempt to force on Albertans an electrical grid based largely on the highly problematic exploitation of wind and solar power. By investing so much political capital in this thoroughly retarded scheme, Justin Trudeau is being exposed as the rank amateur he is on anything other than plunging Canada into massive debt in order to distribute payola among his political cronies.

The borrowed money is for showering riches on likes of Drag Queen educators as well as contributing at least $10 billion to help along NATO’s sacrifice of Ukrainian soldiers, many of them Nazis, in a war they could never win. Little by little Trudeau escapades are catching up with him in spite of the bribed Canadian media’s efforts to protect him at every turn.

How much longer can Trudeau get away with travesties like honouring Nazi war veterans in Parliament or facing drug busts while supposedly attending to controversial diplomatic business in India? How much longer can Trudeau turn a blind eye to the military training of Khalistani separatists in British Columbia, or continuing to cover up of the lies and crimes of SNC-Lavalin? How much longer can Trudeau evade some reckoning with the overwhelming evidence he enabled the activities of Chinese spies in order to boost the Liberal Party’s otherwise flimsy electoral prospects?

Of course Premier Smith and several UCP cabinet ministers who made public presentations were able to score easy points by pointing much-deserved verbal barbs at Trudeau, an official that might as well be wearing a target on his back.

I was pleased to see the Alberta’s Energy Minister, Brian Jean, become defensive when referring to the wonky concept of “net zero” presently being put front and centre in the oil and gas industry’s environmental negotiations with government. The current point of contention between Ottawa and Edmonton is whether the goal for reaching “net zero” should be 2035 or 2050.

But what exactly is net zero anyway? Is the concept as empty as it seems promising some sort of nirvana to cure all that ails us? What proof is there to support the dubious contention that carbon, life’s main chemical component, is the ultimate enemy? CO2 is plant food that gives us vital oxygen in return. Why mess with such a synergistic exchange?

Jean seemed to apologize to the audience for adopting the empty terminology of “net zero.” He indicated that the Alberta government’s corporate partners in the oil and gas industry insist on using the term. What kind of explanation is that? Why not call the bluff of those engaged in the net zero hoax, part of the climate change chicanery? If the government of Alberta won’t do it, who will?

If the oil and gas industry is going to lead Albertans into a swamp of nonsensical game playing pretending to be science, maybe its time for Albertans to consider exercising our own sovereign proprietorship over our own provincial resource. Perhaps its time to follow Norway’s example of developing oil and gas resources ourselves.

Who is going to make the necessary case that there is no viable Plan B other than adopting much lower standards of living if cheap and muscular oil and gas is to be abandoned in the name going green.

Gaining a Sense of Exhilaration from Voting to Condemn Violations of Our Rights of Self-Determination

For me, the highlight of the UCP’s AGM took place in the interval following Premier Danielle Smith’s presentation. The exercise was devoted to bringing forward policy proposals authored by several of the UCP’s 87 constituency associations. These policies covered a broad array of subjects.

The underlying design seemed to be to give the grass roots of the UCP membership the opportunity to assert the pre-eminence of the rights and freedoms denied to us so severely throughout the manufactured COVID crisis. Without our ongoing vigilance and willingness to resist, the COVID crimes will be made to merge with other pretexts for globalist agents to diminish us in the name of fighting more overhyped threats to, for instance, our health, our wellness, or our economic viability. In my view, the depopulation agenda is still proceeding.

The following policy proposal, which was passed by about 3000 UCP members in attendance. It gives a good idea of the kind of explanatory justifications presented for consideration to the delegates at the UCP AGM.

Policy Proposal 2 Policy Reference: P-0170

Sponsor: Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul

Article: 403 RIGHTS .1 INFRINGEMENT PROTECTION

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should… c) Protect an individual’s right to free expression.

Rationale

Recent events saw Albertans being censored for their scientific, personal, and or religious beliefs regarding government policies because there was a perceived societal benefit to do so. Our Prime Minister, Chief Medical Officers, health care authorities, the media, employers, unions, police, military, border security, schools, universities, businesses, and many other people in positions of authority took it upon themselves to censor, isolate, vilify, placed on leave of absence without pay, and or outright fire people that did not ascribe to their and or the government’s policy of the day. Many professionals, highly educated individuals, and or concerned critical thinking citizens were censored, ridiculed and or otherwise ignored for simply speaking out against and or not accepting the proffered government position on a subject and that may or may not have been correct, and such action on their part is reprehensible. Albertans were singled out and made to suffer hardships for no other reason than their beliefs were different from the authority/authorities in question.

Another policy proposal demands remediation for the travesties that took place in the medical profession. It asserted

Policy Proposal 3 Policy Reference: P-0203

Sponsor: Calgary-Lougheed

Article: 206 HEALTH .7 HEALTH CARE WORKERS RIGHTS

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should… b) Protect a medical practitioner’s right to research, speak, and write; and protect Medical Doctors and all healthcare professionals from having their licenses to practice threatened for publicly expressing professional medical opinions in any public setting.

Rationale

During the Covid-19 crisis doctors had their physician licenses suspended and others lost their positions as university professors for speaking out about things like the importance of getting informed consent. Others were threatened for expressing their concerns about how quickly vaccines were being pushed upon the public without facing the test of time, or for expressing their concerns about serious negative side effects that they had witnessed after their patients had received a Covid-19 vaccine. The ‘scientific method’ requires skepticism and ongoing debate to ensure that medical practices and treatment are safe and effective. To ensure that we have the best medicines, vaccines, and medical practices possible we must always protect freedom of opinion and expression by medical professionals and scientists regardless of whether they are working in society, privately, or at universities, especially during times of crisis.

https://www.unitedconservative.ca/wp-content/uploads/Resolutions2023.pdf

The range of topics is impressive. They pertained, for instance, to family farms, race and admission criteria to colleges, the privacy of health care information, the need to protect agricultural soil from the pollution of solar panel complexes, the need to embrace paper ballots and to reject the computerization of voting, the repressive intent of 15 minute cities, parental rights and schooling, the unreasonable prohibition of fertilizer production, pornography in children’s school books, and the need to protect female inmates from rape by other inmates who are male cross dressers pretending to be women.

It would be hard to describe the sense of exhilaration I derived from taking part in this exercise of voting in public in real time, along with thousands of other mostly like-minded people. Many of the subjects on which we voted, involved three hard years on the receiving end of literally thousands of arbitrary dictates whose effect was to overturn many of the most personal aspects of our lives.

Throughout these three years there were no openings at all for us to take part in, nor even respond to, the often ruinous, ridiculous or downright dangerous and damaging impositions that authorities, sometimes with guns, attempted to force on us. If we chose not to comply, the top official in the land deemed us to be nothing less than hate-filled bigots, racists, misogynists or worse.

Finally after all this time, simply holding up a sign along with others saying “yes” to the proposition of never again facing such outrageous dictates from above, seemed comforting. It felt like coming out of a desert lacking the revitalizing waters of self-determination. I can only imagine how distant is the the prospect of voting as we did on matters of such substance among out fellow Covidian skeptics in, say, Ontario or BC.

What will happen to our votes and resolutions? It remains to be seen if Premier Danielle Smith’s custodianship of the Office of Alberta’s Premier will fulfill the promise of the surprising turns of events that began with the manufactured COVID crisis.

Hardly a Peep of Protest to the Savage Massacre Underway in Gaza

As the official meeting wound down, many conference goers gathered in a hospitality suite where a group called Take Back Alberta gathered to engage in various forms of schmoozing and debriefing. One of the advertised events publicized at the gathering was the upcoming speech in Calgary to be delivered by Ben Shapiro. Indeed, earlier in the day I was approached by a young UCP organizer with an enthusiast suggestion that I should attend the Shapiro event on 16 November.

Some readers will be aware that Ben Shapiro is the principle public figure in the Clear Wire network of “Conservative” bloggers. Shapiro managed to attract Canadian Jordan Peterson into his operation. The relationship was formalized at a meeting in Jerusalem where Shapiro and Peterson sat down in for a meal with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

https://mondoweiss.net/2022/12/palestinians-werent-there-at-all-netanyahu-tells-credulous-jordan-peterson/

Since that meeting it has become clear that Peterson is very comfortable promoting Zionist positions in his official position as a prominent member of Shapiro’s Clear Wire Team. Peterson’s orientation was well expressed when he famously texted Benjamin Netanyahu to encourage him to give the Palestinians of the Gaza prison camp “hell.” In the current context this message amounted to an encouragement to kill more Palestinians more quickly.

I took note of the fact that throughout the entire UCP AGM, I did not hear one official or informal mention of the genocidal horror unfolding in Gaza. The silence on such a pertinent subject bothered me, especially in light of Premier Danielle Smith’s frequent references to “compassionate conservatism.”

Indeed even when one puts aside the humanitarian aspects of the Israel-Palestinian confrontation, it seems to me that the Albertan government overseeing one of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world, would want to convey some sense of the implications for the oil and gas sector in North America of what is going on in the Middle East. After all, under the auspices of John D. Rockefeller the oil and gas business was one of first truly globalized modern industries on the planet.

That transnational aspect of the primary energy sources for twentieth and twenty-first century industrialization, is surely a factor that demands some attention and analysis from the government of Alberta. For instance, what are the implications for Alberta of the new alliance of Saudi Arabia and Iran negotiated under the guidance of the Chinese government. Both Saudi Arabia and Iran are famous oil and gas giants?

What are the implications for Alberta of the BRICS coalition that has become more and more cohesive in the course of the war between Russia and the NATO’s proxy army in Ukraine? The silence on such matters from UCP officials makes me think of the Smith government as rather parochial when it comes to Alberta’s part in the worldwide network of major players in the global operations of the oil and gas industry.

These reflections bring me back to Ben Shapiro and his prominent role in interpreting for Israel the conflagration underway in Gaza. This conflagration may go nuclear. It may spark an Arab and Iranian boycott of oil exports, with all that such a development would mean for Alberta.

I felt the impact of the Israel-Gaza crisis when I went to my familiar Albertan news sites on October 8. Our cozy coalition at Western Standard, True North, and Rebel News went up in flames when all these venues featured editorials waving the Israel flag and condemning as reprehensible any perspectives that did not conform with those of the Zionist Team.

For the purposes of this essay we can envisage the alliance between Peterson, Shapiro and Netanyahu as representative of the Zionist Team. In Alberta this Team is closely connected to the prominence of the brand of Christian Zionism that predominates in most of the big churches across the province. I am beginning in my writing to try to explore and explain what Christian Zionism is. See for example

To conclude this account of the UCP AGM, let me relate my experience at the end of the event that gave me much spiritual and intellectual nourishment. The experience came complete with a surprise ending.

In the hospitality suite dominated by a UCP-related organization called Take Back Alberta (TBA), there was a prominent post advertising the Ben Shapiro event coming up in Calgary. When I expressed my dismay to the figure seemingly overseeing the proceedings in the crowded room, she snapped back at me that my concerns about Shapiro were totally irrelevant, that the subject had nothing to do with UCP affairs.

I disagreed and so did my wife, Helena. Advertising in a UCP venue the visit of Ben Shapiro to Calgary is very telling and consequential. Shapiro acts essentially as an extension of Netanyahu who vows to murder and displace 2.3 million Palestinian “refugees” in Gaza. Half of the Gaza population are children or young people. Many Palestinian youths have already been starved and then killed unlike the fantasy of the 40 Jewish babies said to be beheaded.

What is the role of Netanyahu role in permitting and even encouraging the Palestinian prison break from Gaza to create the rational for the savage massacre presently underway in Gaza? This massacre is drawing hardly even a peep of protest from the compassionate conservatives of the UCP, let alone from the Christian churches of Alberta and Canada.
