The Gestapo - Moses

Does the Gestapo still exist?

  It was 1935 when Mussolini ordered his secret police to do investigation into the homes of any Jew living in Italy at the time.  This practice was considered null and void at the end of WW2, signed by peace treaty.

  It is now 2019 and we see accountability to a level that some may say to be Gestapo like.  We have GPS tracking devices that can be pronounced by the authorities at any time.  In fact some police divisions in North America practice the art of carding people to know their whereabouts at all times.  We see leniency for those that have committed heinous crimes, and yet the authorities still card people in communities for the simple reason of being epileptic, or on suspicion with no proof of any crime being committed.  This is an infringement on our rights and freedoms plain and simple.  When will society crack down on sex offenders, pedophiles, and murderers once they've been released from prison or mental institutions?  Are John Q and Jane Doe really threats to society for being accused (not convicted)?

  In 1492 Spain launched into the Spanish Inquisition of Jews, murdering many and imprisoning many as well.  In 1498 Portugal joined into the fray and further persecuted Jews.  This seemingly endless historical persecution of Jews has come full circle today from Palestinian Hammas Leaders which have in their constitution the right to hunt the Jews (Chapter 7 in their Constitution).  Most people are unaware of how our freedoms are being negated by the authorities in North America.  When you're on your cell phone if you use the word G-D (among many other words) the call is automatically recorded and transcribed by the authorities.  Are we really living in the Free World?  Remember this; The Vatican still practices the same constitution of Catholicism that they were practicing in 1492-1500 when the Spanish Inquisition was in effect.  Therefore my rights as a Jew are pretty much negated by the Vatican and deemed by their vested interests to be considered Satanic.  Has Anti-Semitism really declined from the standpoint of what the mainstream population believes?  I'd also like to know why some Rabbi's are condoning the current Gestapo?

Possible Toronto Maple Leafs Trade - by Moses

  With the addition of Jake Muzzin the Leafs are in a much better spot.  Defence is still the weakest  part of the Leafs game.  We have Calle Rosen and Andreas Borgman (with the Marlies) but if the Leafs are serious in winning the Cup this year we would benefit from having another scoring defencemen, preferably one that's a right handed shot.  What about Tyson Barrie of the Colorado Avalanche?  What about Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings?


Proposed Trade

1.  From Toronto; Nikita Zaitsev, Andreas Borgman, and Dmytro Timashov to the Colorado Avalanche for; Tyson Barrie

or

2.  From Toronto; William Nylander, Nikita Zaitsev, 2019 2nd Round draft Pick, and Dmytro Timashov to the Los Angeles Kings for; Drew Doughty 


As a result of this trade the Leafs roster would look as follows;


Head Coach - Mike Babcock


Goalies

1.  Frederik Andersen
2.  Garret Sparks
3.  Michael Hutchinson


Defence Pairings (w/ Tyson Barrie)

1.  Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin

FEMA Camps and Transgender Allowance - by Moses

  So, it's 2019 and as a collective in North America today we see Federal Emergency Management Association Camps being employed to house vagrants.  Of course rights and freedoms are being sacrificed in the name of 8 PM curfews, no smoking, no drinking, no pot, no movies etc...yet if you're transgender you have the right to be there.  Of course our Great Grandparents would approve of our children having the rights to a sex change.  This notion of insanity mounts.  What else is okay?

  We see teenagers wearing their pants low thigh to indicate their desire to become gang members.  We see young adults buying into the idea that all telecommunication devices are okay, when in actual fact some subliminally are teaching them to kill.  How many sick video games are there?  The ones depicting a man firing a gun to kill the enemy, always the enemy (Black Ops / Halo 4).  The video games that allow for a group to hunt together in the name of 'Grand Theft Auto'.  Not a deer but actual humans in the video games.  Kill a man in a video game signifies to me a desensitization to actually committing murder in real life.  How many killing sprees does America need to see before they realize that they should have been listening to Tom Clancy.  

  

The 2018/2019 Toronto Maple Leafs - by Moses

  The past 10 games have been a roller coaster ride for our Maple Leafs.  We beat top teams Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Washington, and Montreal, yet lost to lesser opponents in Florida, Arizona, Detroit, and the New York Rangers.  What is going on here?  Are we to believe we'll compete for the prized Stanley Cup when our fan base sees our lackluster performance against lesser teams?

  It's the consistency that is needed to maintain Championship teams.  Take the Montreal Canadians of the seventies, the New York Islanders of the eighties, and the Edmonton Oilers of the eighties.  They all became dynasties by employing the working philosophy of winning the games you should be winning and competing strongly against other tough teams.  The only problem the Leafs have had this year are games against lesser opponents in the standings, as we're at .500 in those games.  The Leafs need to win 80% of those games, bottom line.  Could the Leafs win the Cup this year?  With a few minor changes in our approach I would say that we do.  What would help our team comes in the name of defence.  Frederik Andersen is a solid number one Goalie.  Our defence needs to shore up and with the addition of Jake Muzzin we now have six solid defencemen.  The key in this writer's' mind is Jake Gardiner.  Everyone knows Morgan Rielly, Jake Muzzin, and Ron Hainsey are key and clutch to our defence core.  Gardiner is a bit of an enigma, as he has enormous potential still in his corner.  The problem with Gardiner is that for some games it takes him a period to get his head in the game.  A regulation Hockey game is 60 minutes, the problem is that if you're down after one period 2-1 with consistency the game becomes an uphill battle.  Simplify the game.  Shift by shift, period by period, game by game.  Doing so breeds success.

   

The NHL of the 1970's - by Moses

      In 1972 the NHL sent their best players to play the U.S.S.R in an 8 game Summit Series.  Canada won on a late goal scored by Paul Henderson in game 8.  However, did anything really change after the series?  The Russians still weren't allowed to play in the NHL based on their heritage. It was John Ziegler as Commissioner, Alan Eagleson as counsel to the players association, and owner Harold Ballard who denied the NHLPA the clout to organize with foreign nations' players.  This played a large part in players in the NHL in the seventies being screwed out of millions of dollars.  As well, it preserved a protectionist view to only have players from Canada play in the NHL.  While things eventually evolved in the players favour, it was still an anti-union sentiment being spewed across the NHL in the seventies and we saw an influx of fighting in the NHL of the seventies as a result to accommodate American interests.  Had Harold Ballard honoured the Summit Series of 1972 Toronto would have gone out and brought in a couple of Russian Hockey players to play for the Leafs.  The team U.S.S.R of 1972 was as talented as our Canadian players.  While the tournament did open doors for international superstars such as Borje Salming, Kent Nilsson, Anders Hedberg, and Ulf Nilsson (from Sweden) and Peter Stastny, Anton Stastny, and Marian Stastny (from Czechoslovakia) among others, the doors of accepting any view with socialism involved were still nil.  This killed the idea of ensuring skilled players from a worldwide market.  Even though the World Hockey Association was established just after the 1972 Summit Series and accommodated the signing of players' from Europe and beyond, they were still considered the lesser of the two leagues in comparison to the NHL.

  Has anyone noticed how good the level of Hockey has become.  Every team has at least two superstars on them.  The players from the U.S.A, Europe, and Russia has increased infinitely in number in the last 30 years.  This is testament to the league taking a global approach.  Likewise this is true of the talent in the League being on such an upswing.  What I'd like to know is this; If a Portuguese-Canadian is told 'We can't play you because you're Portuguese.'  Is this mantra of never hire outside of Canada (that was employed before the '72 Summit Series) ever going to resurface?  If it does then you can count me out of negotiation for my Nation of Canada.
