A Winnable War that must be Won

NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE

Sept.29, 2016

    John and Gay Caswell of Brabant Lake are continuing their fight against Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia. They use the name that Canada’s Cardinal Collins uses: Legalised Murder.
    Gay Caswell states “ The law was brought in with coercion and subterfuge. The traditions of democracy were crushed under the Gestapo feet of bullying and deceit. No bill of any significance is ever passed in a few hours of debate and then have enforced enclosure . This bill changed Canada from a country with a Christian ethic to barbarism, from a democracy to a tyranny of eleven unelected , unknown people. There was absolute no need by any constitutional , traditional or Charter reason to pass such a bill.

    Under the Charter of Rights if the Supreme Court makes a decision that is in error, is itself against the Charter or is considered undesirable to one or more province or the country as a whole. democracy is safeguarded by  THE NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE .
A legislature, provincial or federal can pass a bill that states that ‘ Notwithstanding the Charter’ et c. et c.  And nullify the Supreme Court decision. That could have been done immediately after the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Assisted Suicide.

    Parliamentarians and the public have been deceived that the Notwithstanding clause has to be ratified by all provinces and passed by Parliament by a long complicated process. In fact the Notwithstanding Clause CANNOT be removed from the Charter because it is already there.                               

    John and Gay Caswell will be speaking in Eston Bible Institute on Oct.03, at Athol Murray Collegiate, Notre Dame in Wilcox on Oct.04 and on Oct.05 at Briercrest Bible Institute, Caronport.     

    They encourage other communities and school especially fellow Northern ones to invite them. They appreciate the efforts northern communities are making to stop the suicide epidemic following the onslaught of the Liberal legalisation of murder.

Suicide is the ultimate act of cowardice and selfishness

JMJ
March 31, 2015
Holy Tuesday,
    There is one disciple who betrayed Jesus. Judas Iscariot regretted what he had done and hung himself.  There is one disciple who denied Jesus. Peter repented, shed many tears of remorse and went on to be the first Pope. Suicide is the ultimate act of cowardice and selfishness. It is murder of oneself. Assisted suicide is murder with more than one person involved. Obviously, one cannot undo the act. One faces his Creator in a state of mortal sin.

    In the newspaper INDIAN LIFE, March - April 2015 Adalee Russell gives her personal testimony “My Story, Beauty for Ashes.” These are the actual words of the picture caption. “ My father didn’t  want me. He told me so. He made me feel unloved and worthless. Later in my teen years things got worse: More chaos..my dad’s angry, drunken rampages. I spent so many nights huddled in the corner of my room, in the dark, in tears. Then on Sept.1, 2013, my dad pulled a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. He killed himself, abandoning my mother, brothers and I , and hurtling us into a world of hurt and uncertainty.”

Note. Her father did many harmful things but the worse was that he killed himself. All members of his family are victims of the act. The pain will last a life time.  If the story changed that her father went to a doctor and got help killing himself would that have been better? Of course not. Her family would have been betrayed and abandoned not only by the father but by the medical personnel and establishment of her country, by the educated elite, the law makers and the legal system.

A large extended family that I have known for decades have gone through many difficulties but by far the worse thing that has happened according to them was that a grandson killed himself.  Similar situations are experienced by many families. How could the members of the Supreme Court,  Trudeau Junior and others have escaped this reality?

How could Perry Bellgarde and other Professional Indians keep silent over such an obvious threat to native people?  How could they have escaped the reality of families and communities  already suffering from suicides and murders masking as suicides?

The  very fact that the highest court in our country has tabled an opinion that suicide is acceptable and a positive choice will have already generated suicides and murders. If the Supreme Court says its okey why should a person in confusion and teetering on despair not take his life, or the life of another? The Sask. College of Physicians and Surgeons has added strength to suicidal acts and murder of others by treating the opinion as law.

Many sick and elderly people are already scared to go to a hospital or nursing home for fear that they will be killed. Their fears are legitimate and growing.

A public hearing that focuses on the pros and cons of assisted suicide will add fuel to this death fire.  It makes the unthinkable, thinkable. Murder becomes a public debate, an academic discussion, a legitimate option.  One needs a serious , expansive research and public hearings on how to curb the power and authority of the Supreme Court.  It has become a clear and present danger to our democracy, our country, our inalienable rights and our lives.  Gay

No Choice in the Death of Logic

JMJ
March 22, 2015

    It is assumed that within the Chamber of the Supreme Court of Canada there is a picture of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the back and above the heads of the nine sitting judges. Given the recent decisions of that once august body a more appropriate showing would be pictures of Hegel , Marx, and Sartre. 

Sartre, an Existential Philosopher concluded that it makes no difference if a person chooses to help an old lady across the street or chooses to bash her over the head with a brick. Since there are no moral absolutes one simply has personal choices. There is only actualisation. What one actualises or chooses is only to be judged by personal preference.  This conclusion was inevitable once secular philosophy embraced Hegelianism with its dialectical theology.

Traditional Logic states A cannot be Non- A. Non- A cannot be A.  An apple cannot be a non- apple. Right cannot be wrong. Good, in itself, cannot be bad. This does not exclude the possibility of better or poor choices depending on the situation because the choices are to be judged according to moral absolutes such as Life or Honesty.

Hegel stated that there is something else. A dialectic is made between A and non- A which leads to another A or A1 which in turn leads to a dialectic between A1 and non- A1 giving rise ( or fall) to A2 which creates a dialectic of A3 and so on.

The best and most understandable explanation of this is found in a small, readable book, ESCAPE FROM REASON by Francis Schaeffer Sr.published about 1969 available from Amazon for a few dollars.

 This unproven and illogical new- logic was used by Karl Marx to develop the theory of Dialectical Materialism.  Dialectical Materialism states that there are no moral absolutes except, according to Marx , to make the Revolution. Thus one can vilify one’s opponents, state the most outrageous lies because he may oppose “ progress” to the worker’s paradise. Millions have been slaughtered in the rational of this philosophy in Russia, Cambodia, Viet Nam et c.

The approximate age of a Supreme Court Judge would be post 60's . They would have gone to University when Hegel’s dialectic was no longer debated but was accepted as the new Absolute. The reigning philosophy on all Canadian secular campuses was and unfortunately still is, “THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE.”  The death of Logic and of Reason is the Culture of Death.

Ergo, a former homosexual is fined heavily for exposing  the promotion of criminal behaviour of sexual abuse of minors

Drug addics are merely “ actualising “ their choice of a destructive lifestyle that includes theft, violence, self- imposed illness and death. The Canadian taxpayer must permit and pay for their choice.

Prostitution controllers and customers are exercising choice, a choice that enslaves young males andd females giving them little choice. The Canadian taxpayer must permit and pay for this choice according to the confused Court. The Tory government deflected much of the harm of this ruling.  But why must the Elected be forced to only React to rulings rather than legislate according to the authority given to them by 35 million Canadians?

The traditional symbol of the medical profession is a snake held up on a cross. When a plague raged among the Israelites Moses held up a gold snake on a cross. Whoever would look at the cross would live just as there is spiritual and living life in Christ and the Cross. According to the new ruling (not in effect yet) a more appropriate symbol would be an old lady who may be helped or murdered by the Choice of an actualising  person stronger than she.

The ruling would expand the choice of those stronger, with more “pouvoir”( power, wealth, authority) but would kill choice for the weaker, confused, and exploited . Sartre’s old lady wanted to cross the street. There is no room for her choice in the Culture of Death.  Gay

City Centre Sells Suicide

.JMJ June 05,14 City Centre in Saskatoon is a mission church on 20th. St.in Saskatoon. It serves a native and poor population. On special holidays sometimes about 700 people are fed. They run an independent school using A.C. E, material. It is an off shoot of Christian Centre where “the wealth and .health “ gospel reigns. The nucleus of people who began the ministry seem to want to serve the poor rather than to be involved in a church that favours the big givers and the well dressed . So far so good for City Centre. Both City Centre and Christian Centre are not connected to the Eternal Verities of the Catholic Church. Unlike many Protestant churches they do not put strong emphasis on personal Bible reading and do not use published hymn books. It is very much a leadership orientated community. A common them of Mr. Johnson of C.C. is “ Everything rises or falls on leadership.” Who is leadership is decided by leadership. It is not a place for intellectual discussion . They do not encourage the Bereans model. In the Bible we are told that the Bereans were noble than the Thessalonicans because they searched the scriptures daily to see if what the Apostles were saying were true. This would not be a welcome activity at the Centres and would probably get one “ the left foot of fellowship”, that is kicked out. Recently a man involved in City Centre committed suiicide. His whole family was very much involved in the church and had been for a long time. He had struggled with depression for years. At the funeral there were no tears. Everyone was working very hard at being positive and happy. Mr. Randall , the leader talked about the person HAVING MADE HIS CHOICE AND NOW HE IS AT PEACE IN HEAVEN. He carried this theme through the service and in conversation. The Centres don’t believe in suffering and in tears. Showing sorrow shows a lack of faith. Mr. Johnson said that Christians do not have to be persecuted. Persecution is the imaginings of your mind. Tell that to the mother in Sudan who is on death row for being a Christian. If something bad happens the people involved have a duty to buck up and continue. You don’t mourn with those who mourn. You put on a happy face and insist that the others do as well. Women who have been involved in abortion and who want to reach out to others are discouraged. Post abortion syndrome supposedly does not exist . Therefore there is no need to help women wounded by their abortion experience. It is not surprising that when the wrongness and suffering of abortion is denied that the wrongness and suffering of suicide is denied. The one suicide has led to other suicides in the church.. What a deal. Kill one self and go straight to Heaven where there is peace and happpiness. Chrisstianity has never taught that and never will. Killing oneself is breaking the Ten Commandments. It is violating the law “ THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” It is murder of oneself. Helping or encouraging others to kill themselves is participating in murder. It is a Mortal Sin .Unless one repents the Bible and Church Tradition teaches that one goes to Hell for committing a Mortal Sin. The person who has committed suicide obviously has little or no chance of repentance so everything must be done to stop the act for his or her sake . No person in any church has a right to say that suicide is a person’s choice and as a reward people have peace and Heaven. This is pushing people into considering suicide as a legtimate and positive choice. It is participating in the logical results of more and more suicides. When a Lutheran pastor became a Catholic he said that the problem was if there is no absolute authority like the Magisterium in Rome “then you just make it up as you go.” City Centre and Mr. Randall are clearly making it up as they go and the lives of the vulnerable are once again the price. City Centre folks, i’s time to go across the street to St. Mary’s where the Truth will protect the lives in your family.. Gay
