* Are We Critical Thinkers?

This AGE OF INFORMATION is harming our ability to be critical thinkers. In Finland and Denmark they start teaching media literacy to grade schoolers. Why aren’t we doing that here? If we all become MEDIA LITERATE—able to recognize media tactics and methods—we safeguard our brainpower, as well as our rights and freedoms. 

News departments don’t have time for context or complexity. Corporate-owned media expects their audience to believe what’s being broadcast is the truth—but it can only be a sliver of reality. 

That sliver of reality is easily massaged into one frame or another.

And information is missing so people who get their news from corporate-owned media are turning into a sub-class whose emotions are regularly manipulated. Here’s one potent example. For many years, big pharma has hired “influencers” to be in all social media spaces where children gather in order to normalize gender confusion—to  make it rad, cool and edgy. Gender confusion did not arise naturally. (See Jennifer Bilek for the facts and history) Big Pharma’s psychopathic marketing causes tragic harms but nets billions in drug sales and profits. The vultures are circling.

Causing gender confusion in children is Age of Information warfare and a crime against humanity. And the news never reports any of it—because those who are heavily invested in big pharma also own the dinosaur media. We all need to understand this. Learn everything you can about Blackrock and Larry Fink.

To become a critical thinker, try this. Observe how TV is made for one minute. Notice all the moving parts: edit cuts, camera changes, close-ups, wide shots, rapid pacing, zooms, voiceover narration, aerial drone footage, etc. The screen jumps every few seconds—that’s by design. It’s been proven that the illusion of action overwhelms our rational faculties and puts our minds into a state of hypnosis, making us receptive to advertisers and propaganda.

Fear baiting. Many news stories contain the words “could”, “studies suggest” and “experts are concerned”. Since anything could happen but is not happening now, why foment fear? Because anxious, worried people are easier to direct.

Corporate-owned media hammers their “official” narratives day in and day out—climate crisis, immigration, Trump, far right extremist bogeymen—and drops them into the airwaves with dizzying frequency—which is by design. Their misinformation treadmill produces rage, confusion, exhaustion. Best if we are worn down by Trump news than informed about devious legislation like Bill C-8 removing our rights and free speech and advancing the globalist agenda of digital IDs, one world banking, and the bio-tech surveillance state. Power is shifting to the dark side so fast it will make Trump look like a silly buffoon. The 1% care about grabbing more for themselves, not the farce of Left/Right politics which keep us plebs preoccupied. 

Want to know more about thhot mess of this Age of Information, keep reading.

Sam Cooper from TheBureau news : “Influence from various sources is making its way into your TV news.” In this informative interview with Jason James of Brave New Normal about propaganda, “This is how the sausage is made. And the sausage is rotten.”

GASLIGHTING is another well-worn tactic used by unscrupulous media.

The movie Gaslighting is a classic; it illustrates how devious persuasion is used to undermine a person’s critical faculties. The goal is to make someone unsure of what they believe and implant false beliefs for the benefit of someone with bad intent.

Another facet of this hot mess is the PSYOP, which is short for psychological operation.

THE OVERTON WINDOW. You may see this phrase but not understand what it means in terms of the way media manipulates what we know and believe. Here’s a primer.

Wikipedia page: In the early 1990s, Overton described a spectrum from “more free” to “less free” with regard to governmental intervention, which he presented graphically on a vertical axis to avoid comparison with the left-right political spectrum.[6] As the spectrum moves or expands, an idea at a given location on the scale may become more or less politically acceptable. Overton claimed that politicians typically act freely only within the “window” of those seen as acceptable.

* CORRECTION NOTICE

The Lillooet Gazette in paper newsletter form, which is delivered to all 1,357 post office boxes that accept flyers (Canada Post will not allow the newsletter a “community news” designation so it has to be called a flyer), tries hard to get it right. But an error was made in the August/September issue. 

In the article Is Lillooet Falling Prey to Climate Piracy? it was stated that CAO McCulloch “appointed himself Corporate Officer on July 15th”. This was incorrect. McCulloch informed LG that he took on the Corporate Officer role by formal appointment of Council, not by self-appointment, in accordance with BC legislation. 

The Lillooet Gazette apologizes for the error.

But this cloud has a silver lining:

After a 30-minute discussion with the Gazette, CAO McCulloch agreed to have a conversation with KICLEI’s national director, Maggie Hope Braun. Stay tuned for that report! 

KICLEI (Kicking the International Council Out of Local Environmental Initiatives) reports: “In what may mark the quiet end of an era in international climate finance, the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) officially voted on October 3, 2025, to cease operations and dissolve its membership-based structure.” Canada’s six big banks are also out, as are all major American banks.

These are strong signals that Net Zero is a fantasy. And it raises important considerations for Lillooet. KICLEI: “Communities that focus on adaptation, self-sufficiency (which is in our Official Community Plan), and local decision-making are more resilent in the face of change. Whether preparing for floods, wildfires, or shifting markets, localism ensures solutions are flexible, cost effective, and tailored to real needs.”        See more at www.kiclei.ca

We don’t need to be controlled by greedy, unelected globalists who are accountable to no one. 



* MAYOR & COUNCILORS ON THE BALL

Councilor McNary rejected a bylaw requiring small businesses to provide EV outlet parking. “So, they’d be forced to become a gas station?” he asked. “They would have to pay for the electricity?”           Alpine Engineering in Kelowna, a consulting firm whose services cost taxpayers alot, are currently overhauling our “outdated” bylaws. Alpine also suggested a bylaw requiring homeowners to retrofit and install a 240-volt outlet, which Mayor Hopfl took umbrage with. Councillor Wiebe said new residential builders should not be mandated to include EV outlets. Councilor McNary informed council that “the BC Government is backing off EVs, our hydro grid cannot cope with EV charging.” 

Watch the lively discussions on YouTube, District of Lillooet, Sept. 16th at 49:00 minutes and Oct. 7th at 1:15 minutes. Public discussion and 3rd reading will be held on Nov. 4th   

SOME FACTS: 

(1) EVs are NOT GREEN.

(2) A mine takes 16 years to get up and running—Net Zero requires hundreds of thousands of mines and they destroy ecosystems.

(3) We don’t have electrical grid capacity.

(4) EV battery lasts about 170K kms, unless it bursts into flames or freezes in the winter. The cost to replace is $50K.

(5) People aren’t buying them.


* CANADA CANNOT STOP THE DRUG CARTELS??

The drug crisis is everywhere; it’s so severe St’at’imc Chiefs recently called local states of emergency. The cause of this tragedy is the federal government’s failure to prevent international drug cartels from taking hold, reports indie journalist and drug crimes expert, Sam Cooper.

“Two Supreme Court rulings—Stinchcomb and Jordan—have gutted the capacity to prosecute complex crime,” Cooper says. Stinchcomb Law requires all incriminating evidence be turned over to the defense before trial. This gives criminals a heads up, allowing them to change the parts that have been exposed. Jordan Law helps lawyers shield their clients; after being charged with an offence, defendants must be tried within a reasonable time frame (18 months, sometimes 30) but transnational crime networks are “incredibly complex and legal cases can’t be rushed”. Canadian law enforcement is hobbled. 

“Trump hates drugs,” Cooper states. When he closed America’s southern border, international drug syndicates quickly shifted to Canada. Cooper has documented that western Canada is now the epicenter of the global drug trade! Super labs are operating in Langley and Surrey and many other locations. Vancouver has become the world’s biggest exporter of meth. East Indian crime networks have taken over the long haul trucking industry, which facilitates the drug supply chain. Dirty drug money is laundered by real estate. “It’s been known for a long time,” Cooper says.  

Cooper: Trump’s tariffs are an iteration of America’s hammer coming down on Canada for this country’s complete failure to go after drug production. Americans are completely fed up with the dysfunction, trickery and lies from Ottawa. It’s not about who’s currently in Washington,” Cooper says, “it’s about this dangerous moment in history and whether or not Canada is going to survive it. Canadians would be shocked and fearful if they knew that we cannot stop these networks.”

Why don’t the media report any of this? CBC’s senior administration are tethered to Ottawa, which pays the CBC so it can exert editorial controls. Corporations owned by the 1% own all TV stations. CBCs “your world this hour” mantra is laughable. The “news” is 100% distraction tactics. 

What to do? Urge MP Caputo to get on this. Frank.caputo@parl.gc.ca or 250-851-4991

* BLOOD PLASMA INFECTED WITH AIDS VIRUS SOLD TO BIG PHARMA

AS REPORTED BY SEASONED JOURNALIST, PATRICK BROWN, IN HIS BOOK, BUTTERFLY MIND ~ REVOLUTION, RECOVERY, AND ONE REPORTER’S ROAD TO UNDERSTANDING CHINA

Over many months and many social media platforms I’ve heard people claim that some vaccines contain the AIDS virus. Since I had no way to verify their assertions I put that information in the “possibly true, possibly fear-mongering” file. Then I read Brown’s book.

DIRECT QUOTE:

“Dr. Gao Yaojie came to my office one afternoon in 2004 to talk about HIV-AIDS. A small-town gynecologist, [she] sounded the alarm in 1996 when many of her patients began to show symptoms that she was shocked to recognize as HIV infection. Her patients were poor villagers with no exposure to intravenous drugs, prostitution, or other common routes of HIV transmission. She realized that they had been infected while selling their own blood. When she reported the outbreak to the provincial health department, instead of shutting down the blood-collection industry that was spreading the disease, officials tried to shut up Dr. Gao.

“There is no HIV-AIDS in Henan Province,” the head of the Henan public health department, Liu Quanxi, told local journalists who asked about an outbreak of “a strange illness”. As head of the department, Liu Quanxi had organized the spread of for-profit blood-collection stations in Henan, and many of them were owned and run by members of his family. He also set up a private company, Wanda, to deal in blood products. The health department encouraged farmers to sell their blood, and boasted that the sale of blood plasma was providing revenue for the department.

“The blood-collecting stations were filthy, and the way they were run guaranteed that enormous numbers of people would be infected. The end product was blood plasma that was sold to large pharmaceutical companies. Eight hundred cubic centimeters of blood was drawn from each donor and mixed with other donors’ blood [!!!!!!] in a large centrifuge. The machine separated the blood plasma from the red and white blood cells, which then were re-injected into the donors, so that they could give blood more frequently.

“It is, perhaps, understandable that poor peasants in a remote inland province of China were unaware in the 1990s of the dangers of being injected with other people’s blood. It is inconceivable, however, that the head of the Department of Health and other officials did not know how HIV-AIDS was transmitted, and how dangerous the re-injection of commingled blood cells was. Indeed, their whole business model was based on the notion that seventy million peasants, isolated from the normal channels of infection, represented an enormously valuable reservoir of safe blood.”

“”In China the very biggest problem is telling lies,” said Dr. Gao. Low-level officials lie to high-level officials to protect themselves, and high-level officials lie to their superiors. It’s a frightening problem. The liars are promoted.” Dr. Gao has won national and international awards for her work, but in Henan she is treated like a criminal, and members of her family are harassed and persecuted.”

* IVERMECTIN won the Nobel Prize

You know three things for sure when your local pharmacist publishes dis/misinformation about Ivermectin. 

1) S/he isn’t well informed. 

2) S/he is owned by big pharma and must repeat the official corporate line we all heard during the COVID scamdemic: ‘Ivermectin is for horses and anybody who would take it is basically stupid and bestial.’ 

3) They must think we’re all really, really dumb.

The Truth About Ivermectin: 

Ivermectin won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 for Physiology and Medicine; it’s been used for decades on humans and is one of the most effective drugs ever made. It has one of the highest safety ratings and one of the lowest injury/side effect profile. Though it’s particularly effective on ridding the body of parasites, many claim it has more positive benefits to health.

The reason big pharma didn’t want people trying IVERMECTIN during the COVID scamdemic, instead of their garbage mRNA gene altering concoction, was, of course, all about $$$$$ and power.  

Ivermectin, like many other drugs, is now a free market drug, meaning that the pharma patent on it has expired, meaning that without patent protection the drug is a free agent, it can be replicated by drug manufacturers who are free to sell it at a lower price. 

Questions arise: if a pharmacist were to go rogue and start telling people the truth, would s/he lose her licence to dispense pharma products and maybe her/his Pharmasave franchise, too? Just asking.

* CLIMATE PIRACY IN LILLOOET?

We better take an active interest in globalist policy because globalists are taking a very active interest in us – and council has accepted their money.

Climate bureaucracy gives “grants” that include control levers for worming their way inside the legal charters of communities like ours. Democracy and transparency end up being sidelines—without the awareness of CAOs, CFOs, Mayors and Councillors and definitely without taxpayers’ knowledge.

In 2023, Lillooet received an LGCAP (Local Government Climate Action Program) grant of $52,078 which has to be used for an approved climate category like CO2, GHG (greenhouse gas emissions), EVs, Net Zero. The former Chief Financial Officer held back the money but this year it’s been applied to an HVAC upgrade at City Hall. The upgrade reduces a tiny fraction of Canada’s tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions.

That “free money” required us to fill out and return a 19-page (!) climate action report comprised of detailed questions designed to micro-manage absolutely everything: new housing, roads, development, town assets, energy, transportation. Then CFO filled out the survey, avoiding much of the intrusive demand for information and action by stating that Lillooet did not have the financial capacity, or the expertise, to fulfill the request. Nevertheless, the report makes clear that the climate scam push is fully under way. “Free money” gives away our authority to make our own decisions and protect our fiscal solvency. Council must wake up to this long-term predatory scheme and opt out.

KICLEI (Kicking the International out  of Local Initiatives) helps town councils avoid these fiscal sinkholes: “What we’re seeing across Canada is a form of governance by proxy – where unelected global networks embed themselves into local government through programs like PCP (United Nations Partners for Climate Protection)m shaping policy through standardized plans and staff training. This isn’t violent—but it’s coordinated, ideological, and largely hidden from public scrutiny.”

“ICLEI and FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) have created a system where one staff member and one councillor become the internal champions of a pre-scripted agenda. This mimics the structure of institutional capture—where outside influence steers local decisions through embedded advocates.” This is what it looks like:

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the municipality of Lillooet appoint…

  a) a corporate staff person and

  b) an elected official

to oversee implementation of the PCP milestones and be the points of contact for the PCP program within the municipality.

We’ve got two corporate staff persons — Deputy Corporate Office and CAO McCulloch who appointed himself (* see note below) Corporate Officer on July 15th. We taxpayers need to start paying attention; our apathy will allow the globalists to override democracy. Those who understand these threats and are quietly considering getting involved in local politics need to get elected asap!

*Post addition/correction: CAO McCulloch asked the Gazette to clarify that he did not “appoint himself” but rather he was appointed and he took an oath; it’s a legal requirement to have a Corporate Officer and the CFO leaving left that position empty. LG apologizes for the mistake.

If anybody would like to watch that in the council meeting, see it at the July 15th meeting at the 11 minute mark.

* The Dangers of Cell Phone Convenience

Cell phones make life easier. They save us time. Payments are fast. Most of the time our financial transactions are safe. They make it possible to avoid boring tasks. And they’re addictive as hell–which is why so many of us have our faces glued to them and the globalist oligarchy are using them to gradually trap us inside a digital gulag.

Technology is moving fast, so fast that we don’t yet have the legal rights on the books which would protect us from technology’s harmful effects or the tyrannical goals of globalist sociopaths. Check out this website, Resist CBDC, which identifies the core issues facing us when we have no digital rights.

  • Right to opt out of digital systems, including Digital Identity and Digital Currencies.
  • Cash and cheques (physical systems) remain.
  • Right to privacy, anonymity and data protection.
  • Right to freedom of movement, travel, and assembly. No domestic travel passports. 
  • Right to bodily autonomy. We can say NO to gene-modifying vaccines.
  • All existing rights shall not be limited by the implementation of digital technologies.

Resist CBDC provides tons of great information including free downloads and letter templates to assist in getting the word out.

The legal gap is being exploited by nefarious businesses who are jumping into the game while the going is good. Here’s one example in this post about Next Generation 9-1-1 coming soon to Lillooet.

They are starting to coerce us into compliance. We saw the start of this during COVID. If you think there’s no correlation between COVID and digital ID, you are not well informed.

We never signed on for any of this. Financial expert, Catherine Fitts: “Once they have every single human on digital ID being centrally controlled by a global monetary system, they will have complete control.” 

SAY NO TO DIGITAL ID. SAYING NO IS ALL WE HAVE BUT IF WE ALL DO IT, “NO” IS ALL WE NEED!  

Refuse those “convenient” apps, think about the reasons “why” they’re being offered. Keep cash alive, tell your bank you won’t go digital.

* Neil Oliver Urges Us to Watch “The Agenda”

The Agenda — Their Vision Your Future by Oracle Films

“I’m not in the habit of publicizing movies very much but in the case of The Agenda I make a rare exception. You have the distillation, the executive summary if you will, of frankly all a person needs to know about the threat we face as a species in the face of technocrats, oligarchs, bankers, the trilateral commission, the club of Rome, the World Health Organization, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, and the so-called national governments and the NOS and innumerable nests of unelected unaccountable bureaucrats that do their bidding. The details are all there in The Agenda film but suffice to say the intention on the part of all of the above listed entities is total control—total control of us and everything that grows, walks, swims, or flies on or under planet Earth.   

“Words like totalitarian and dictatorship do not and cannot do justice to the extent of the proposed overreach. Totalitarians and dictators sound almost romantic by comparison. Totalitarians and dictators have been with us and among us since the beginning but the ambitions of emperors of old—of creatures like Stalin and Mao—were ultimately limited, limited by logistics, limited by the tyranny of distance, limited by the reach of their intelligence services, limited by the might of their armed forces. “What we are threatened by now and what The Agenda lays out in forensic detail is something altogether new.

The reach made possible by technology now means we’re standing in the gate to a digital cage from which, unless we turn aside now, there may be no escape, no getting out. A handful of narcissist psychopaths has laid claim to everything on earth, our lives included. Everything down to the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat, everything that lives or grows or lies within the soils, sediments and rocks beneath our feet, every last grain of sand and blade of grass has been commoditized and claimed by those that have persuaded themselves the world is theirs and to hell with us. All we have to do is wake up and open our eyes and that nightmare future they have planned will disappear instantly and completely.”
