A Full Moon Brings Out the Moonbats

There was a full moon last night, and wouldn't you know it, the moonbats were out in force.

This year the annual infestation came a bit later than usual, but there they were, fluttering around City Hall and squawking up a storm.

The only surprise was that perennial gadfly Nick Ternette decided to jump the shark and join the Moonbats in protesting malathion fogging in the city.

Of course it's a safe time to be a fogging protestor. It's been too hot and too dry for mosquitoes to breed.

Last year, with the not-so-tacit help of city entomologist Taz Stuart, the anti-foggers managed to delay fogging long enough for people to get infected with West Nile virus. The province forced Taz to fog, the mosquitoes died and the West Nile threat was stopped in its tracks. (So was the rising star of Tazman, who this year was quoted as singing the benefits of pre-emptive fogging as opposed to the utility of dragonflys and Sam Katz's long-forgotten chemical briquets.)

The No-Fog Moonbats said that that only proved there was no need to fog. Logic is not their strong suit.

But they knew they had a problem. Namely, a shortage of facts, reason and victims. When you say something is a poison, you have to show people are being poisoned.

In the last 50 years or so, there hasn't been one case in Winnipeg of anyone dying from malathion poisoning.
Not one.


Or of anyone suffering nerve damage from malathion.
Or going blind.
Or developing a really bad sniffle.


Now a complete lack of facts is not usually a problem with junk science. Note that not one reporter in years has ever challenged the No Fog Moonbats on the issue. "Where's your proof that anyone has died from malathion," seems a simple question. But one that evades every reporter in Winnipeg, except for The Black Rod which has asked it over and over again.

It seems that somebody was listening, because this year the Moonbats have decided to address the lack of victims.

Enter Nick Ternette.

Ternette is in remission with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. And he has a higher public profile than David Nickarz who had testicular cancer. And Dianne Harms, who is also a cancer survivor.


So one day they got to talking and realized, hey, you got cancer, I got cancer, she got cancer, and we're all against malathion. Ergo, ipso facto, malathion caused our cancers. Yeah, that's it. Who needs scientists and doctors and their protocols and double blind studies and peer reviewed experiments. What are we? Chopped liver? Malathion causes cancer. We got cancer. What more proof do you need?

Take that Black Rod.

So Ternette and David Nickarz and Dianne Harms flounced into City Hall yesterday to present the findings of impromptu Moonbat scientific and medical taskforce.

It's an election year, and Councillor Gord Steeves, chairman of the protection and community service committee, had to be nice to the Moonbat brigade. He listened and made the right political noises. More study. Blah Blah Blah.

When what he should have said, was what everybody else in the city said upon watching the TV News:


Are you people totally nuts?

Well, the answer to that question came from Councillor Donald Benham, who, deciding to throw away what little credibility he still has, came to the defence of the Moonbats.

"It's a nerve toxin that causes cancer," bleated Benham, proving that Moonbat insanity is indeed contagious, spreading easily from one lefty to another and no vaccine on the horizon.

Benham professed concern about the City's liability for a potential class action lawsuit by cancer victims blaming malathion fogging for their illnesses. Doc Benham should consider how much the City will be on the hook when West Nile victims (or their heirs) sue him and the other councillors for failing to protect them from the proven risk of letting mosquitoes run wild.

Now, if they could only come up with a cure for the dreaded comb-over, eh, Doc?

The unreported bombshell conspiracy evidence in the Trudeau/SNC-Lavelin scandal

Wow. No, double-wow. A game-changing bombshell lies buried in the supplementary evidence provided to the House of Commons Judiciary Committee by former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould. It has gone virtually unreported since she submitted the material almost a week ago. As far as we can find, only one journalist-- Andrew Coyne, columnist for the National Post--- has even mentioned it and even then he badly missed what it meant, burying it in paragraph 10 of a 14 paragraph story. The gist of the greatest political scandal in modern Canadian history is well-known by now. It's bigger than Adscam, the revelation 15 years ago that prominent members of the Liberal Party of Canada and the party itself funneled tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks into their own pockets from federal spending in Quebec sponsoring ads promoting Canadian unity. That was just venal politicians and a crooked political party helping themselves to public money. The Trudeau-Snc-Lavalin scandal is

Crips and Bloodz true cultural anchors of Winnipeg's aboriginal gangs

(Bebo tribute page to Aaron Nabess on the right, his handgun-toting friend on the left) At least six murder victims in Winnipeg in the past year are linked to a network of thuglife, gangster rap-styled, mainly aboriginal street gangs calling themselves Crips and Bloods after the major black gangs of L.A. The Black Rod has been monitoring these gangs for several months ever since discovering memorial tributes to victim Josh Prince on numerous pages on Bebo.com, a social networking website like Myspace and Facebook. Josh Prince , a student of Kildonan East Collegiate, was stabbed to death the night of May 26 allegedly while breaking up a fight. His family said at the time he had once been associated with an unidentified gang, but had since broken away. But the devotion to Prince on sites like Watt Street Bloodz and Kingk Notorious Bloodz (King-K-BLOODZ4Life) shows that at the time of his death he was still accepted as one of their own. Our searches of Bebo have turned up another five ga

Manitoba Hydro is on its deathbed. There, we said it.

Manitoba Hydro is on its deathbed. Oh, you won't find anyone official to say it. Yet . Like relatives trying to appear cheery and optimistic around a loved one that's been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the people in power are in the first stage of grief -- denial. The prognosis for Hydro was delivered three weeks ago at hearings before the Public Utilities Board where the utility was seeking punishingly higher rates for customers in Manitoba. It took us this long to read through the hundred-plus pages of transcript, to decipher the coded language of the witnesses, to interpret what they were getting at, and, finally, to understand the terrible conclusion.  We couldn't believe it, just as, we're sure, you can't--- so we did it all again, to get a second opinion, so to speak.  Hydro conceded to the PUB that it undertook a massive expansion program--- involving three (it was once four) new dams and two new major powerlines (one in the United States)---whi

Nahanni Fontaine, the NDP's Christian-bashing, cop-smearing, other star candidate

As the vultures of the press circle over the wounded Liberal Party of Manitoba, one NDP star candidate must be laughing up her sleeve at how her extremist past has escaped the scrutiny of reporters and pundits. Parachuted into a safe NDP seat in Winnipeg's North End, she nonetheless feared a bruising campaign against a well-heeled Liberal opponent.  Ha ha.  Instead, the sleepy newspeeps have turned a blind eye to her years of vitriolic attacks on Christianity, white people, and police. * She's spent years  bashing Christianity  as the root cause of all the problems of native people in Canada. * She's called for  a boycott of white businesses . * And with her  Marxist research partner, she's  smeared city police as intransigent racists . Step up Nahanni Fontaine, running for election in St. John's riding as successor to the retiring Gord Macintosh. While her male counterpart in the NDP's galaxy of stars, Wab Kinew, has responded to the controversy over

Exposing the CBC/WFP double-team smear of a hero cop

Published since 2006 on territory ceded, released, surrendered and yielded up in 1871 to Her Majesty the Queen and successors forever. Exposing the CBC/FP double-team smear of a hero cop Some of the shoddiest journalism in recent times appeared this long August weekend when the CBC and Winnipeg Free Press doubled teamed on a blatant smear of a veteran city police officer. In the latest example of narrative journalism these media outlets spun stories with total disregard for facts that contradicted the central message of the reports which, simplified, is: police are bad and the system is covering up. Let's start with the story on the taxpayer funded CBC by Sarah Petz that can be summed up in the lead. "A February incident where an off-duty Winnipeg officer allegedly knocked a suspect unconscious wasn't reported to the province's police watchdog, and one criminologist says it shows how flawed oversight of law enforcement can be." There you have it. A policeman, not

Winnipeg needs a new police chief - ASAP

When did the magic die? A week ago the Winnipeg police department delivered the bad news---crime in the city is out of control. The picture painted by the numbers (for 2018) was appalling. Robberies up ten percent in  a single year.  (And that was the good news.) Property crimes were up almost 20 percent.  Total crime was 33 percent higher than the five year average. The measure of violent crime in Winnipeg had soared to a rating of 161.  Only four years earlier it stood at 116. That's a 38 percent deterioration in safety. How did it happen? How, when in 2015 the police and Winnipeg's police board announced they had discovered the magic solution to crime? "Smart Policing" they called it.    A team of crime analysts would pore through data to spot crime hot-spots and as soon as they identified a trend (car thefts, muggings, liquor store robberies) they could call in police resources to descend on the problem and nip it. The police
