War Crimes and the United Nations




War Crimes and the United Nations

By

James Bredin

UN peace-keeping missions don’t seem to mean much any more,
Sitting targets in a war and left dead in blood and gore,
So these days peace keeping only shows the UN impotence,
As they try to impress us with death and their importance.

Pretentiously pushing peace keepers here and there,
Plus Kyoto Accord and their global taxes everywhere,
Hope you live in a place where you don’t need their assistance,
Try anything instead, even peaceful coexistence.

As they pompously pronounce constant consultations,
So they’re not going the way of the League of Nations,
Though their oil-for-food Saddam scandal was rotten,
The papers were shredded and now it’s all forgotten.

Their Human Rights Commission has of course been changed,
So everything’s okay they say and human rights rearranged,
And Lebanon war crimes people going to jail in The Hague,
Like Milosevic where UN judges may be a little vague.

Toronto Political Pay Problems




Toronto Political Pay Problems

By

James Bredin

Who said they doubled their pay one day at lunch time?
Toronto City Council tribe at the trough all in a line,
While the poor people were taxed to the max up to their eyes,
Politicians increased the debt and invented more lies.

Their commissioned appointees were told what to promote,
No referendums, no recall – only councilors had a vote,
And afterwards they smiled and joked with so much glee,
Blatantly drained the treasury to become rich bourgeoisie.

While the City of Toronto went deeper in debt,
The mayor and his minions said this was no sweat,
They say there might be another garbage crisis soon,
Or maybe the Toronto Transit by the next new moon.

While the people of Toronto were trapped in a grid lock route,
Their conspiratorial politicians didn’t give a hoot,
Nothing would change except the politicians pay,
Left wing socialists helping street people and the gay.

Incinerators can’t happen because they might make smoke,
Plus left-wing environmentalists consider this a joke,
Our garbage goes to Michigan every day and night,
Pay the Americans but they’re all so polite.

The Welfare System





The Welfare System

By

James Bredin

Building after building stacked with single mothers,
Surly sisters with different surnamed half brothers,
These future single mothers and now fatherless boys,
Listen to their loud music and other ghetto noise.

Subculture of smoke, guns, gangs, brothers and others,
The top layer of this sub culture are the single mothers,
Demanding their rights for government welfare support,
As though they were on holidays in this ghetto resort.

And none of this is ever broadcast in the media,
No words could describe it even in the encyclopedia,
And politicians look on this as voters’ human rights,
Can’t be fixed, can’t be changed and it’s such a delight.

And bureaucrats and social workers wall to wall,
24/7 and these good folks are always on call,
And maintenance too to mow and sweep and clean,
And keep everything running like a brand new machine.

The Death Penalty




The Death Penalty

By

James Bredin

They banned capital punishment a long time ago,
No referendum, no pride, no recall and you didn’t even know,
So you didn’t have to think if killers should live or die,
Even pedophile serial killers or terrorists who lie.

Goody-two-shoe left-wingers did it because they could,
It was not democracy and it was not the common good,
Then they allowed these killers out in fifteen years,
“Faint hope” clause they called it with crocodile tears.

Lethal injections seems the honorable way to go,
It’s painless so they say and they ought to know,
So instead of a hangman, we hire a guy with a needle,
With imam, minister, rabbi or priest from cathedral.

And make it retroactive for those who qualify,
That means those already in jail who think they disqualify,
And our hug-a-thug politicians will eventually change,
Or maybe they’d prefer we use a firing range.

We could have a guillotine and on close circuit TV,
Hold up the severed heads for everyone to see,
A binding referendum to bring about some change,
Dump Trudeau’s Charter and easy to arrange.

Immigration and Terrorist Stuff




Immigration and terrorist Stuff

By

James Bredin


Why secret immigration hearings, do you suppose?
Is the justice system completely rigged by those?
Special interest crowd with their own hidden agenda,
Published in their papers with their left-wing propaganda.

Why is it so difficult to deport these terrorist types?
Is it the Charter, their culture or their media hypes?
Is it politicians who sold their souls to this or that crowd?
Claiming it’s secret stuff and has to be kept under a cloud.

Why can’t we just grab a terrorist and kick him out?
Though they all claim they’ll get tortured no doubt,
Some claim they were born here though they’re adult male,
Which gives them reason to stay here and get easy bail.

Can we change Trudeau’s Charter or any of our laws?
Caught in terrorist jaws as we listen to their applause?
Are we not aware that terrorism is a new form of war?
As they even bring their fights through the courtroom door.

Where is our leadership or those who will explain?
Why some of us die in Afghanistan in great pain,
Why can’t we seal ourselves off from this global mess?
No battlefield here but suicide bombers and distress.

Toronto in these serious times






Toronto in These Serious Times

By

James Bredin

Murders that were once on page one are now on page eight,
These increases came slowly so there was no debate,
The soft-on-crime appointees were proud of their decisions,
Count the homeless and panhandlers and no need for revisions.

These left wing politicians refuse to take the blame,
They say these gun fights in the night are culture so no shame,
And mollycoddling criminals will bring back peace,
Plus easy bail for terrorists and early release.

They released an alleged terrorist on bail today,
And we still don’t know his name but they say it’s okay,
It’s the Youth Criminal Justice Act passed by the adscam crowd,
And everyone has Charter Rights and we all feel so proud.

And no referendums or recall because that’s not allowed,
Not by this left of left wing socialist communist crowd,
Because their system is sacred and can’t be touched,
Ideas about changes will always be crushed.

This War Going On


Louise Arbour



This War Going ON

By

James Bredin


Human Rights crowd say that war crimes may be involved,
Louise Arbour of the UN says she wants it all solved,
She’ll schedule Lebanon next week when this war is finished,
UN power over there just cannot be diminished.

And all those suicide bombers surely have rights,
This humanitarian crisis can’t continue day and night,
She’ll have to investigate just like a UN cop,
And those who did something wrong will surely get the chop.

It’s their moral obligation they pompously declare,
She did a fantastic job in that Balkans affair,
The UN figures that she’ll do the same thing once more,
Put someone in jail at The Hague just like before.

A Form of Madness










A Form of Multicultural madness

By

James Bredin

Mollycoddling incoming refugees might kick back,
In fact it has but we escaped a terrorist attack,
Hogtied by politically correct abnormalities,
Tied to Trudeau’s Charter nailed-down fallacies.

Stuck in political correctness up to our necks,
And secret immigration hearings where no one checks,
Illegals, terrorists and refugees up to here,
Publication ban on evidence – stuff you can’t hear.

Can’t know the names or stuff for those under eighteen,
Adscam Liberals Youthful Offenders Act routine,
So publication is banned and we therefore can’t know,
Defense lawyers still screaming about their clients’ woe.

And if there’s an election they can vote while in jail,
Those few terrorists who don’t make the easy bail,
Three tons of ammonium nitrate would have done the trick,
Blown up some fancy prance buildings built by brick.

If we allow a million immigrants in to vote,
In three years, by plane, train, illegal or by boat,
And they all vote Liberal as they’ve been advised,
Indirectly of course so why should we be surprised.

One can even be their leader if he pays their fee,
Pretend he’s an adscam guy who just fell out of a tree,
It doesn’t matter about his beard and his long white sheet,
This December with his Charter Rights and he wouldn’t cheat.

Third World Journalists




Third World Journalists

By

James Bredin

Exiled journalists from thirty Third World regimes,
End up in Canada or at least so it seems,
From righteous theocracies where their religion is law,
And secret police don’t fool around or hem and haw.

Still trying to fight for justice from here, over there,
Where powerful religious nuts are major players,
Where dictatorship, hate, and secret police are the game,
And those who disagree leave dead, lame or in shame.

Where dictators righteously proclaim that god is on their side,
And those who live there just better understand and abide,
Or quickly get out of town and out of their sight,
And they better do it quickly in the middle of the night.

Thank god for our democracy – the little bit we got,
Where rotten politicians may eventually get caught,
Though no recall or referendums, some papers tell the truth,
Those not bought by the totally committed or uncouth.

Canadian Criminal Justice System





Canadian Criminal Justice System

By

James Bredin


Soft-on-crime appointed judges love publication bans,
Politically correct decisions to aid barbarians,
No names or gory details revealed so they’re home free,
And we the public, in the dark, are required to agree.

And like minded politicians say they all concur,
Its easy bail and short sentences that usually occur,
Even the names are forbidden for those under eighteen,
Though all the hidden details that could be obscene.

And who ever said that the public had a right to know?
Not in the Charter written by Chretien and Trudeau,
No property right either while democracy bereft,
Odious orthodoxies of their socialist far-out left.

Terrorist refugees on the incoming flights,
Each and every one of them claiming Charter Rights,
Thanks to the Charter imposed without a referendum,
And not signed by Quebec but this is no conundrum.

There is no doubt about it but judges should be elected,
Just to prove that they are not politically connected,
And the names of all accused should be in public domain,
No wishy washy soft-on-crime stuff to explain.

Liberal Leadership Race

Liberal Leadership Race

By

James Bredin

Their Leadership race is gearing up and winding down,
For all those serious looking adscam Liberal clowns,
Each one committed to a far out left wing cause,
They’d like you to forget their criminal adscam flaws.

They like Trudeau-Chretien Charter with all those rights,
For all those terrorist refugees on the incoming flights,
And Ben Laden too if he comes and he just might,
Dressed in a long white sheet and he’s quite a sight.

Canadians sold down the river by this adscam crowd,
Environmental Kyoto Liberals who feel so proud,
Global taxation unless Stephen can stop them soon,
And our already sky high taxes will go zoom.

In the guise of human rights they pompously proceed,
While their real agenda is hidden carefully in greed,
Their dogma of political correctness has taken hold,
They know their way through the heat and the cold.

They just want to control all UN and world events,
You should follow them or you could be listed as malcontent,
And their soft-on-crime appointed judge know,
They’re good till seventy five with lots of dough.

Toronto the Good



Toronto the Good

By

James Bredin

Half the people in Toronto are working day and night,
The other half are stuck in gridlock traffic out of sight,
The politicians at City Hall are up to their necks,
Counting homeless criminals which could be complex.

As they tax, travel, spend and pompously pretend,
Though gun shots in the night they still can’t comprehend,
They said they’d fix these problems with the nightly guns fights,
And everyone could claim Trudeau-Chretien Charter Rights.

And just for that they periodically doubled their pay,
No recall, no referendums and they never go away,
They cater to their ethnic power base so they stay,
Have an answer to every question because of their survey.

So they made a declaration that they were the best,
Add soft-on-crime judges and don’t get too depressed,
And if you happen to get shot on the street at night,
You should not have been there and you’re not very bright.

The routine nightly murders are listed daily on page eight,
Never on page one and there’s no need for debate,
The mayor is probably in Paris being busy over there,
He carries a cell phone so he’s never unaware.

No air of desperation and no changes in sight,
The street people have taken over with all their might,
Panhandlers by the dozen at every bend in the street,
No peace and tranquility and no need to be discreet.

Love and Hate







Love and Hate

By

James Bredin


Love is a powerful emotion but hate is even stronger,
And like a disease it can both kill and last even longer,
Mix in power, clerics, ambition and politicians,
And all it takes is a switch for hateful warlike conditions.

Hate can be taught to last for more than a thousand years,
Point at their religion, race, politics and shed no tears,
Forbidden to negotiate or even bother to sit down,
While everyone listens to some loud clerical clown.

Peace compared to love is like war compared to hate,
Warmonger and hatemonger don’t want to debate,
And those who sit down and declare peace in our time,
Are ridiculed severely as if it was an awful crime.

And politicians of course refuse to take the blame,
They are united as each of them eagerly proclaim,
Onward onto glory and the good guys always win,
To think otherwise would be a terrible terrorist sin.

Media Liberal Propaganda





Media Liberal Propaganda

By

James Bredin


We assume the press is free and they should write the truth,
Not straight propaganda to the point of being uncouth,
But the folk who read these lies, were convinced and led,
By what these wishy washy socialists wrote and said.

We can’t deport terrorists because they might be at risk,
No need for Amnesty International to become brisk,
The United Nations should rule because they are so clever,
Illegal refugees should come here and stay forever.

Some countries have terrorists they want to deport,
Canada should accept them and be a good sport,
Those despicable countries may treat terrorists tough,
They claim this has to stop because the treatment is rough.

And all these terrorists have Trudeau’s Charter Rights,
They could come to Canada on the next incoming flights,
Where our lenient justice system sends so few go to jail,
Where terrorists and murderers may get easy bail.

They could claim refugee status and be treated like a king,
All the way to the Supreme Court as legal aid lawyers cling,
It could take ten or more years for it all to be figured out,
Publication ban on evidence so we have no doubt.

Ottawa Kyoto Adscam Liberal Politicians





Ottawa Kyoto Adscam Liberal Politicians

By

James Bredin

Will we ever know the UN payoff for the Kyoto fix?
The Ottawa adscam Liberal conspiracy tricks,
Will an adscam guy get Kofi Annan’s job later this year?
Payoff for Kyoto so listen carefully; do you hear?

And will Kyoto global taxes be later introduced?
Americans and Australians not involved or seduced,
Is Stephen Harper in or out and where do we stand?
Can we get away from what the adscam guys planned?

China and India both got themselves UN excused,
But it seems Canada and Canadians are confused,
Is the fix in or out or can someone make a decision?
Is there another publication ban with precision?

Has the adscam scandal itself completely disappeared?
Have Liberals in opposition even interfered?
Has it all gone like water under the bridge?
Or are Liberals still looking down from the ridge?

Left Wing Propaganda





Left-wing Propaganda

By

James Bredin


Their omnipresent socialist propaganda is free,
Pumped out carefully daily in the media and TV,
And we are programmed to think along certain lines,
Just like Lenin and Stalin did in their times.

Except we’ve got soft-on-crime judges where no one hangs,
Where terrorists with bombs can join secret gangs,
Because they know if they’re caught they might get a kiss,
Probation or they might get a lecture about being remiss.

Then double the number of incoming refugees,
Decisions made at meeting of left-wing committees,
Don’t you dare ever ask, if we are mentally ill?
Not one politician with guts like Churchill.

Are there more terrorists out there or should we look?
Or should we be obedient and read our prayer book?
Because god is good and we should be so pleased,
Publication ban on evidence to keep us appeased.

Canadian Kyoto Environmentalists




Canadian Kyoto Environmentalists

By

James Bredin

The sound of Kyoto fury still ringing in my ear,
Every UN environmentalist screaming in fear,
Claiming Canada can’t change its mind and just pull out,
Though Americans and Australians no where about.

China and India got Kyoto excused long ago,
Canadians sold by Liberals like slaves to this dog show,
For UN appointments and Kyoto global taxation,
Secretly quietly like one of their hidden foundations.

Water under the bridge when they have titles in New York,
Fancy UN title for some adscam Liberal dork,
Deals made behind the scene for our UN Kyoto donation,
As payment for our global taxation and frustration.

But we can trade emission allotments they say,
Not taxes, not dollars but allotments in an area that’s grey
We’re so lucky the adscam Kyoto Liberals are not in jail,
With their constant propaganda, they never need bail.

The attitude in oil-rich Alberta makes Liberals boil,
But with a National Energy Program they could foil,
If Trudeau did it, his Adscam Liberals could too,
Who will replace Kofi and which Liberal is due?

Soft Justice System








Soft Justice System

By

James Bredin

For three brutal murders he was sentenced to three years,
But he had done more than that awaiting trial without fears,
So soft-on-crime judges owed him for doing too much time,
Released him and paid him the going rate – every dime.

Under the guise of tolerance they push their agenda,
With their goody-two-shoe soft-on-crime propaganda,
Politically appointed judges who know the score,
No questions about the connection you can’t explore.

Groups, panels, organizations and associations,
Add to that some diehard left wing congregations,
Who get worked up about criminals doing hard time.
Add pompous propaganda by the media on line.

And prisoners should all be entitled to early release,
Attend meetings and get involved but no the police,
Politicians allowed them visits from girlfriend and wives,
And allowed them phones and votes and nothing deprived.

And these soft on crime policies have long been imposed,
Half-way houses of pedophile sex offenders not exposed,
And almost everyone is entitled to early release,
What a great reason for crime statistics to increase.

The Adscam Kyoto Liberal Taxes





The Adscam Kyoto Liberal Taxes

By

James Bredin


We’re lucky with Liberals in opposition instead of jail,
Plus their soft-on-crime appointed judges give easy bail,
Their Youthful Offenders Act allows everyone to walk,
We’re not allowed to know names of terrorists or talk.

They hate the Americans for being what they are,
Ordinary people suspicious of the UN gone bizarre,
And not joining Kyoto like the Liberals did,
And Liberal left wing socialism they forbid.

These Kyoto Liberals are once again worked up,
They and their UN cohorts never never give up,
They have evidence that greenhouse gasses will kill us all,
And global Kyoto taxation will help when we fall.

Global warming is coming they say next Thursday week,
Their environmental pompous prophets are not meek,
And we better run and hide and maybe dig a hole,
But if we vote Liberal we could be on a roll.

They seem to think Alberta is not Liberal enough,
Province with too much oil and cash who think they’re tough,
Taxing Alberta greenhouse emissions would be great,
And in the Liberal way, this would not be up for debate.

So tax them into the ground for being so smug,
By taxing greenhouse emissions and pull out their rug,
So they better vote Liberal or its climate change for them,
Liberals have the statistics and they know how to condemn.

But their Kyoto taxation system could bury us all,
They’re busy in their leadership campaign till the fall,
So they now claim Kyoto is for future generations,
They just want control of their left-wing foundations.

We can trade emission allotments they say,
Not taxes, not dollars but allotments; would they betray?
We’re so lucky the adscam Kyoto Liberals are here,
And their blatant propaganda continues without fear,

Liberal Leadership Plans




Liberal Leadership Plans

By

James Bredin

Graft, rampant mismanagement and misery,
Liberal adscam guys thought they won the lottery,
A system where envelopes full of cash changed hands,
Gomery plus Shawinigate plus lying Liberal plans.

Petulant federal politicians who flouted the law,
Taxed, spent, travelled and denied there was a flaw,
Signed us up for Kyoto and said it was win win,
Though Americans and Australians refused to join in.

Locked us into all their United Nations plans,
Go to troublesome African places at their demands,
Appoint friendly soft-on-crime judges by the score,
Short time, girlfriend visits, easy bail, phones, votes and more.

Odious orthodoxies of the communist left,
Hidden expense accounts and pretend it isn’t theft,
Take instructions from far-left media propaganda,
Special interest types with their own hidden agenda.

And now they sit in opposition looking over,
Trying to appoint a leader and change their makeover,
And the Charter that Chretien and Trudeau wrote,
Great for terrorists but no referendum vote.

Political recall of politicians never allowed,
No term limits or property rights but they look proud,
And they say we have democracy every five years,
Five minutes to vote for someone who seldom appears.

Time to Change Canada





Time to Change Canada

By

James Bredin

Ontario has Liberal politicians, who lie,
And lie about their lies and refuse to say good bye,
No term limits and they cannot be recalled,
Because binding referendums have never been installed.

So we need to change the constitution and soon,
We need referendums and recall now – not next June,
We need a Charter for Canadians with property rights,
We need democracy – not refugees on incoming flights.

They want us locked into their United Nations,
Knee deep in Kyoto like a group of mental patients,
Obedient to their ideas and global taxation,
Propaganda and high taxes they say is our salvation.

We have to think as an international socialist might,
Because thinking Canadian might not be so right,
They have their hidden agenda and we have to obey,
They want no changes and their agenda has to stay.

Reunion Meeting 2006

By

Memory overload at the reunion meeting,
Lots of talking, drinking, lying, boasting and eating,
Old names, places, faces, incidents I could hardly recall,
Even those who once had high rank shouting having a ball.

They put the names of those who died up on a screen,
I knew every last one of them, all of the fourteen,
From way back, thirty, forty, fifty years ago,
Still hundreds of faces at the meeting, I didn’t know.

Sat with Arrowsmith, Charlie Case, Kevin McGrail and others,
We turned back the clock and we were once again brothers,
We were young, making decisions pretending we were smart,
That was just about the time one of them let an awful fart.

Doug Priest, Howie Akins, Eddie Lawrence and Ron King,
Working like dogs organizing and flying on one wing,
Appreciate the efforts and a job well done, guys,
Pat McCullough’s history speech was a nice surprise.

Are the Liberals still around?





Are the Liberals Still Around?

By

James Bredin

Disguised hidden agenda in the guise of human rights,
Their tax and spend socialist scheme, meetings in the night,
Programs for this and that for their Liberal voting block,
Why were we the people never scandalized or shocked?

Soft on crime judges proclaimed another publication ban,
For no particular reason, just because they did and still can,
And no one ever questioned these pompous decisions,
The public right to know was hidden – not up for revision.

Canadians were not allowed to think, the system was bent,
That plus left wing politicians and the UN never relent,
They wanted us in Africa or somewhere else over there,
We couldn’t influence Rwanda in their genocide flare.

Liberals waiting directions from their left wing media,
Socialists and communists using the whole encyclopedia,
Because referendums and recall have long been banned,
In the guise of international socialism you understand.

Immigration multicultural refugee intentions,
As directed from the UN, I should have mentioned,
How many Liberal politicians should be in jail?
With no publication ban and definitely no bail.

Onward to Glory at the UN



Onward to Glory at the UN

By

James Bredin

The list of dictator representatives is very long,
At the UN where their cartel is extremely strong,
Democracy is an idea that’s very strange to them,
Send them to jail, they point at politicians they condemn.

So they have a war, a famine, peacekeepers and AIDS,
Corruption, guns, grenades and portentous pompous parades,
In uniforms dripping gold braid always over there,
And lots of religion so they often say a prayer.

And all their UN corruption is swept under the rug,
Like Saddam’s oil for food as though no one is a thug,
As we stand mesmerized by their antics in New York,
Can’t figure out which one is the biggest dork.

They want us all in Kyoto up to our necks,
Extortionate global taxation for their pet projects,
The Americans and Australians are not in this of course,
In Canada we sit and wonder about Kyoto divorce.

While those who got us into this are looking for a leader,
Some adscam Liberal who might be a mouth breather,
Definitely some left wing environmental disaster,
Some socialist communist lord of the rings master.

Soft justice and Publication Bans






Soft on Justice with Publication Bans

By

James Bredin

Canadian courts like to impose publication bans,
No one knows why but they do it because they can,
Sometimes it’s information and sometimes it’s names,
Truly totalitarian in terrorist times -- these games.

The freedom of the press means nothing, they persist,
Because the public’s right to know doesn’t exist,
Even bail hearing for terrible terrorist or gang guys,
The public can’t know all the names, the truth or the lies.

So free speech and freedom of the press disappear,
As we struggle blindly onward in apprehension and fears,
No excuses, no reasons and please no remarks,
Something like the systems of Stalin, Lenin and Marx.

Soft on crime and in rehabilitation in a big way,
Allow criminals easy time in jail – maybe a day,
As judges wallow in their own importance up high,
And a mere comment might only get you a sigh.

Appointees full of their own importance without fail,
Dispensing kid glove treatment and easy bail,
To terrorists, murderers, killers and shooters,
Knifers and stalkers and rapists and looters.

And there’s no way to change the system my friend,
Amid wishy washy politicians and left wing trends,
And when criminals walk out just like free men,
Judges should do the same time in the pen.
