This
blog post is for our several readers in the great country of Russia.
Peace be with you. Why you would indulge in our fribbling ambiances
is beyond us, perchance to brush up on western Canadian
idiosyncrasies, but to reward your curiosity we will give you our
insight into the melodrama harrowing our bull headed great leaders.
This view may not represent the view of the 25% of Canadians who
elected our present majority government, nor will it much more
represent the view of any of the rest of us.
At
the age of 30, Zoroaster received a revelation. While Zoroaster was
fetching water from dawn for a sacred ritual, he saw the shining
figure of the yazata, Vohu Manah, who led Zoroaster to the presence
of Ahura Mazda, where he was taught the cardinal principles of the
Good Religion. As a result of this vision, Zoroaster felt that he
was chosen to spread and preach the religion. He stated that this
source of all goodness was the only Ahura worthy of the highest
worship. He further stated that Ahura Mazda created spirits known as
yazatas to aid him, who also merited devotion. Zoroaster proclaimed
that all of the daevas were bad spirits and deserved no worship.
These "bad" spirits were created by Angra Mainyu, the
hostile and evil spirit. The existence of Angra Mainyu was the source
of all sin and misery in the universe. Zoroaster claimed that Ahura
Mazda was not an omnipotent God, but used the aid of humans in the
cosmic struggle against Angra Mainyu. Nonetheless, Ahura Mazda is
Angra Mainyu's superior, not his equal. Angra Mainyu and his daevas
(spirits) which attempt to afflict humans away from the path of
righteousness (oasha) were just silly and would eventually be
destroyed. (This is just to complicate the neat pic).
As
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pouring vitriol and sanctions on
Russia for months over the Crimea and Ukraine crisis, he did not seem
to have expected much of a serious slap-back from President Vladimir
Putin. Just as many feared, Canadian F-18s are yet again being sent
screaming towards our northern airspace to see off large Russian
Tu-95 heavy bombers testing our borders. The word in official circles
is that this is “strategic messaging from Moscow” in retaliation
for our constant criticism, as well as Canada’s actions to bolster
Ukraine, which has just signed an historic trade pact with the
European Union that Putin has fought against. The fly-overs have
certainly shaken complacency in Ottawa. Defence minister Rob
Nicholson told Parliament recently the flights show “the need for
ongoing vigilance” as Russian military activity continues in the
Arctic. Ottawa didn't anticipate payback. What’s surprising is
our surprise. Ottawa did not seem to anticipate such retaliation,
even though Russian air probes are an easy and cost-effective way for
Putin to harass our defences as payback for our anti-Putin stand in
Europe.

We
here all rather suspect that our dear Prime Minister is just plain
jealous of Putin's ability to influence the throws of the cosmos, and
probably also his ability to win election after election. Really,
Canada can do little to .... We don't even have a pipeline to ship
our sour crude to Europe if they get cut off from the Russian empire.
And at last report the railway line to the Port of Churchill, our
oil terminal of least resistance, was shut down because a load of
toilet tissue was just too heavy for the muskeg.
So
Angra Mainyu and his daevas in their silly quest for hostility and
evil have afflicted our also silly great leaders away from the path
of righteousness. Ahura Mazda's yazatas are presently aiding Pussy
Riot and Canada's Elizabeth May among others in the fight for
righteousness. By remote viewing, although we are just learning the
intricacies, we have ascertained that Putin will, in the not to
distant future, become a member of Pussy Riot, and Harper will
convert to the Green Party of Canada, and our two countries will
share the arctic as the new Atlantis with global warming and all, a
cosmic wide victory for righteousness.
In
our yearnings for rectitude we leave you with the hope and courage of
Aleksandr Blok's poem "Why, Why Forever..."
Why,
why forever to the deadly line
I’m
pushed unpityingly by blows of the Fortune?
Whether
all this, including life of mine,
Are
only moments of the endless torture?
I
want to live, tho’ heart hasn’t joy inside,
And
happiness is just a tale to know,
But
I am called in distance by some light,
And
it is seemed, that I can have its glow.
Maybe,
‘tis just a spirit – this far blaze!
Maybe,
my hopes are lost any ground!
But
there – afar, in the unearthly space,
Its
rays are ever beautiful and proud!
