- Could The World Do The Unthinkable? April 21, 2012I have been producing this radio program for a year and I have learned a lot. One of the things I have learned about “change” is that some things have to be modeled before they gain enough credibility to get wide acceptance. Many people need to “see” something before they “get it”. In other words, […]mediaguy
- That’s Not Science! March 26, 2012The problem with being a forerunner is that we don’t accept most of what we are told. We have to see for ourselves. This may arise from having experienced fraudulent authority in the past or from realizing that most of what is wrong with the world is their doing. In the past 50 years, science […]mediaguy
- Trying to Answer One of the Tough Questions February 27, 2012A few days ago I had lunch with a dear friend from Costa Rica. He was born and raised in Central American culture and of course loved Futbol (soccer). As the conversation developed, I couldn’t help make the comparison between Latin America’s love for their game and Canadians’ love for hockey. To my surprise, he […]mediaguy
- Is Capitalism Dead? February 13, 2012Winston Churchill is purported to have said: “Capitalism is not the best system, but it is the best so far.” The quote seemed out of character for someone who was openly critical of a system so given to greed and corruption. Fact is, he actually said this about democracy, not capitalism – the capitalists “borrowed” […]mediaguy
- How to Make 2012 the Best Year Ever! January 13, 2012One of the most pleasant tasks I perform for the Forerunner Film Festival is to review new films. I am not sure how I was introduced to the film “Crossing”, but it was a docu-drama which challenged and stirred more emotion that any of the hundreds of films I had reviewed. The setting is North […]mediaguy
- RIM From 10,000 Feet December 1, 2011Inventors always want to protect their ideas so that only they can capitalize on them; however, that may be misguided. In the history of recent technology, being the “first in” has proven to be of no advantage – possibly even a disadvantage. At one time, there was a very good operating system called CPM that […]mediaguy
- Retire With Purpose October 17, 2011Recently a friend of mine retired from his job as an editor at the CBC. He had worked there for more than 30 years dodging layoffs and cutbacks to complete a full tenure at the Corporation. In fact, Mark worked for an additional 3 years beyond the required service even though he was ready in […]mediaguy
- An Anonymous Commentor wrote this skillful description of our world. October 16, 2011I had to publish this since it was so well said….. “Never before has the global financial system been so interlinked and integrated, which means that problems in one part of the world are capable of causing severe stress almost everywhere else. ” That’s globalism for you, folks. That’s what the globalists have forced upon […]mediaguy
- On October 6th……. September 15, 2011“The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.” Cicero – 55 BC Recently a friend from San Diego sent me a similar quote about the state of Rome in the era of Cicero. A little research revealed that the original quote (as shown […]mediaguy
- Is There Religious Freedom in Canada?? August 15, 2011Recently, I inquired about posting a film screening notice at the Stanley Park Community Centre. The attendant aggressively questioned if the film was religious (I gave her no reason to believe it was). I almost had to “swear an oath” that there was no religious content in the film before she would post the flyer […]mediaguy

Time Magazine – Man of The Year
This is one piece of news that caught may attention because it said so much that hasn’t been said. Time Magazine names Obama “Man of The Year”. Considering that Obama will not be sworn in until 2009 it is hard to understand what it is that he has done to qualify for “Man of The [...]

The Price of Oil
I haven’t been writing about the economic crisis because everything I had been predicting was being written in the front page news. I would like to comment on the price of oil. Is it low or is actually very close to the real “Free Market” price. The previous outrageous prices were the result of speculators [...]
Saving Luna (film)
I recently saw a “Saving Luna” a powerful documentary film which involved the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and their administrative bungling in the rather insignificant matter of dealing with a over-friendly Orca whale. The whale was just trying to be friendly with humans because it had become separated from its pod. The Baby [...]

A Desire to Serve –
Most projects start with a picture in a person’s mind of what they want to achieve, but others begin with a motivation to do something. Those projects that are founded on a motivation to serve have no destination in mind other than to satisfy the simple thirst within the heart. No one sets out to [...]
