The Double Swearing In Of
the Mayor Designate Of Calgary
October 25th, 2010

Calgarians will be intrigued at the Two Oaths
Of Office for Mayor pictured below,
one of
which may surprise you.
( See full size in pdf below )




Why Two Oaths of Office for the same person? The second is called Official
( taking place according to the City Hall Blog at 10:30 am, sworn
in by the City Hall Clerk )
and the first (above) Ceremonial by City Hall staffers
- but is this a proper
procedure and what does it imply?
Does not the Local Authorities Election Act
specify that the official transfer of power take
place immediately before the Organizational
Meeting. And if the Oath that took place
at the meeting was ineffectual, where does
that place the Oaths of the Aldermen?

Many Calgarians were mystified at Naheed Nenshi's
unwillingness to enforce City Bylaws against the
Occupy Calgary Movement in 2011. Let's take a
deeper look at why.

Arabic Background on Ketman and Taqiyya
Wikipedia Def
Ketman (Arabic kitman ("secrecy, concealment") is the act of paying lip service to authority while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political or religious camouflage, for the purpose of survival, in circumstances where open opposition would result in persecution. Ketman can be practiced through many generations, and eventually erupt in the form of revolutions, uprisings, etc.

Taqiyya is a practice in Shia Islam whereby adherents may conceal their faith when they feel that they are under threat, persecution or compulsion.[1]

The value of an oath is determined by someone's ethics. So, what are Islamic ethics? Like all aspects of Islam, its ethics are found in the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed's biography) and the Hadith (his traditions). The Golden Rule is not in these texts. Instead, Islam has dualistic ethics, one set of rules for Muslims and one set for kafirs (non-Muslims). This means that Islam dictates brotherhood between Muslims, but not Muslims and kafirs. Political Islam is Islam's ideology about unbelievers, kafirs.
Islam cuts the world into two sections. The section governed by Sharia, or Islamic Law, is named Dar al-Islam, or House of Submission. All parts of
the remaining section is called Dar al-Harb, or House of War. It is named House of War, in light of , according to the Koran, it is fated to be ruled by Sharia. It will require war - holy war called jihad - to make it part of
the House of Submission.

Implications:
Pledging allegiance to the western
Justice Code based on
the Judeo-Christian
values found in the Bible,
the Common Law that is built around the Ten Commandments

Ceremonies matter a lot. Ceremonies are essential to the continuity of a civilization because they are living symbols of underlying cultural beliefs and treasures of thought which represent the continuity and stability of a society going into the future.

The Bible is the original and authentic source of ethics in Canada and it's very verses are carved in the archways of our entrance to Parliament in Ottawa. In 1943, we would never have allowed a member of Parliament to take their oath on 'Mein Kampf,' or someone in the 1950s Cold War to swear allegiance to the 'Communist Manifesto.'
The Canadian Constitution opens with a Declaration of the Supremacy of God, which precedes and defines the subsequent Rule of Law in our Nation. God is not Allah, and given the insistence of Muslims that only the Koran in Arabic is authoritative, the word God or the French 'Dieu' does not appear in their Book.

"What is Next? A witch gets elected, and she says she's gonna only be sworn in with her hand over a pentagram? Where does this end?"
Michael Savage - Conservative Commentator - Nov.28-2006
in response to Congressman
Keith Ellison swearing in to office
on a Koran.

"It is never wise to forfeit principles now,
that will surely have to be
redeemed at great cost in the future."

Harvard Outreach Program uses
Stealth Curriculum
Texts funded and approved by Saudi Arabia Supervision.
July 25th, 2007
“The Arab World Studies Notebook.” The “Notebook” has been widely denounced as a “practically proselytizing” text offering uncritical praise for the Arab world. Stotsky calls it, “a piece of propaganda.”One analysis quoted by Stotsky says that the “Arab World Studies Notebook” is designed to “induce teachers to embrace Islamic religious beliefs” and to “support political views” favored by the Middle East Policy Council (formerly the Arab American Affairs Council).
The “Notebook” even claims that Muslims actually beat Columbus to the New World, supposedly sailing across the Atlantic in 889. This is the sort of history being pushed on our K-12 educators by Harvard’s federally approved Center for Middle East Studies — at American taxpayer expense.
Harvard’s outreach training prompted K-12 teachers to design celebratory treatments of the life and teachings of Mohammed and the “revelation” and spread of Islam, with exercises calling on students to “appoint imams,” memorize Islamic principles, and act out prayer at a Mosque. According to Stotsky, if Harvard’s outreach personnel had designed similar classroom exercises based on Christian or Jewish models, “People for the American Way, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the A.C.L.U. would descend upon them like furies.”
The upshot of all this is that the close links between Saudi funded curriculum-development and teacher-training programs, on the one hand, and federally subsidized university programs of Middle East Studies, on the other, has opened up a backdoor route to
Saudi influence over America’s K-12 curriculum.

Harvard Business School has dropped a rule barring white and Asian students from a summer program after two groups opposed to race-based admissions threatened to take legal action against Harvard.
The Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP)—which brings incoming college seniors to Allston for a week in June to study under Business School faculty—will no longer restrict participation to racial and ethnic minorities.

Secrecy evades Criticism & Documentation
According to a former employee, the firm itself will not discuss specific client situations and maintains a carefully crafted and low-profile external image, which also protects it from public scrutiny, making an assessment of its client base, its success rate, and its profitability difficult.[15] This secrecy also helps conceal McKinsey's prices.[citation needed] Client confidentiality is maintained even among former employees, and as a result, journalists and writers have had difficulty developing fully informed accounts of mistakes which McKinsey employees may have made.

Past Failures Among McKinsey Advised Clients

What Business Strategies/ Pitfalls to be warned about:

Enron was headed by McKinsey alumni and was one of the firm's biggest clients before its collapse.[16] In particular, McKinsey's "deep-seated belief that having better talent at all levels is how you outperform your competitors", implemented at Enron with McKinsey's knowledge, resulted in a workplace culture of prima donnas that "took more credit for success than was legitimate, that did not acknowledge responsibility for its failures, that shrewdly sold the rest of us on its genius, and that substituted self-nomination for disciplined management."[17] Jeff Skilling, sentenced to 24 years in federal prison as the CEO of Enron, was formerly a partner at McKinsey and "loyal alum."
Another notably troubled company associated with McKinsey is Swissair, which entered bankruptcy,[18] after McKinsey recommended The Hunter Strategy.
Railtrack, the British railway company, also collapsed, allegedly after following McKinsey's advice to reduce spending on infrastructure and return cash to shareholders instead, subsequently there were a number of fatal accidents.[19][20]
Misguided analysis, such as its recommendation in 1980 to AT&T that cellular phones would be a niche market.[21]
McKinsey is a named defendant in Hurricane Katrina litigation. Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti's suit accuses McKinsey of being the "architect" of sweeping changes in the insurance industry, starting in the 1980s. The suit alleges McKinsey advised insurers to "stop 'premium leakage' by undervaluing claims using the tactics of "deny, delay, and defend".[22]
Several civil suits have been filed against home insurance and vehicle insurance companies after the insurers were advised by McKinsey, and allegedly paid the insured parties significantly less than the actual value of the damage.[23] McKinsey was cited in a February 2007 CNN article with developing controversial car insurance practices used by State Farm and Allstate in the mid-1990s to avoid paying claims involving soft tissue injury.[24]
Anil Kumar, a senior McKinsey consultant, pleaded guilty in January 2009 to providing the New York based hedge fund Galleon Group with inside information.[25]
Among other books and articles, The Witch Doctors, written by The Economist journalists John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, presents a series of blunders and disasters alleged to have been McKinsey's consultants' Similarly, Dangerous Company: The Consulting Powerhouses and the Businesses They Save and Ruin by James O'Shea and Charles Madigan critically examines McKinsey's work within the context of the consulting industry.

Aga Khan Claims descendancy
from Nizari Ismaili LIne

This line claims to have come from what is
historically known as the
Ismaili Assassin Cult of Persia and Syria.
In 1818 one of their leaders is granted
the title of Aga Khan by the shah of Persia.
In 1840, after an abortive uprising against the next
Shah, this first Aga Khan flees to India. There he
and his descendants remain leaders of an Ismaili
community numbered in Syria, India, Pakistan, Iran
and elsewhere, in several millions. The present
Aga Khan Karim Shah, born in 1936, is only the
fourth in the line.

Imagine Calgary
100 Year Vision

According to his Linked In biography
Naheed Nenshi was a primary author of Imagine
Calgary - Calgary's 100 year vision to which Caglary City Council became an official partner in September of 2006.
This is not the first time a grand design was envisioned
for the City of Caglary. The 1913 Mawson Plan pictured
below was, like the Imagine Calgary Plan birthed
in a time of economic boom before the great bust of
wartorn 1914.


Pictured above the Mawson plan developed by the renowned planner Thomas Mawson was to be an Edwardian model of civic harmony, elegance, and utility. Although the plan reflected the aspirations and characteristics of the "boom" economy, with the coming war, a shortage of sandstone and a lack of public resources, it never materialized. Many of the Scottish masons which had created the initial 'Sandstone City' of the Foothills, volunteered for service in the Great War and most never returned to pick up their chisels and trowels.
The Imagine Calgary Long Range Plan - Pdf
not only envisions an impressive city plan
but the engineering of a model citizen Calgarian
to fit in with the plan. We have seen such
lofty aspirations elsewhere in history!
In the Analysis of Democracy At Twilight the
Imagine Calgary 100 year Plan is a flawed, contradictory
and dangerously utopian plan that will spawn out
of control spending, bureaucratic implosion, and
endless conflict with other levels of government.
In a real sense, the Alderman of today are bound up
in inflexible chains imposed upon them by
the authors of the past unless this 'grand' scheme
is repudiated for something more accorded to
the productive humility of the past.

Alderman Ric McIver and Helene Larocque
were the only Aldermen to see through
this utopian plan and
vote against it's adoption.
