One has to go through the Old Testament prophecies to uncover the covert actions that hid the real God for the false prophet. It was the work of Constantine and the Council of Nicaea that brought it about. Ezekiel 22:25-26 states that the conspiracy in the midst of them and the religious prophets are like a roaring lion consuming the prey. It also notes how they stole the treasure and precious things. It further claims that the priests violated God’s laws and profaned all things spiritual.

Following my reincarnation and link to the Spirit commissions were given to me to unravel the mysteries of the religions and their foundations. Taking me back to the beginning of human progress and the way language records the past in a way that cannot be changed it then showed me the teaching for this time. It is called Mount Zion and it will return the spiritual to God and uncover the treasure that was stolen.

The learning for the job was intense and took many years of research and even a university degree to test the visions in the academic world. Along the way the work of Constantine became extremely important in undoing the past. To begin with he is the one identified as 666 in Revelation 13:13-18. He invented Jesus Christ as the prophet of the Catholic Church which he established at the meeting of the Council in 325 AD.

There was no Christianity before that time! He put the sun, whose identity from beforehand was ‘Mari’ into the position of Mother of God. His activity and that of the priests that followed buried the truth and has brought the world into a state whereby life will soon be impossible. He enforced man-made laws to replace those of the Spirit and the conspiracy lives on until the false prophets are taken away.

It is quite a challenge to be good and successful when it comes to make money online. Therefore, it is no surprise to find products being launched day in and day out on this particular topic. In this context, one system that has caught the imagination of so many internet marketers is Covert Cash Conspiracy.

For Starters let me tell you Mat Benwell has developed Covert Cash Conspiracy.

With so many products, that has been launched in recent past, turning out to be almost average in terms of quality. Therefore, there are lot of expectations from his new system.

Mat Benwell has developed the products like Quick Fire Profits, Zero Costs Profits and most recently Rapid Automated Income. Well, I can say this much that all his products in the past were quite informative and provided value for money.

Before I get into the in-depth review of Covert Conspiracy, let me tell you one thing that this system is not that magic bullet that is going to hoards of money online over-night.

To be very honest with you the product claims are quite outrageous and the product does not live up to the high expectations. There is nothing new and unique that the product offers you. Ya, you have heard it right. I had lot of hopes from this system, but the system is not as good as it claims to be.

However, having said so the product has its own merits. For starters, the system provides you the basics about making money online in very nice and detailed manner.

This product is quite good for the newbie is who have just entered Internet Marketing or planning to jump into this space.

“The God Conspiracy” by Osho is a remarkable book. I would say it’s the best “starter book” for readers that are new to Osho, as it is very accessible and doesn’t go too deeply into any specific religious texts.

For those unfamiliar with this mystic, Osho was a 20th century spiritual guru whose life was surrounded with controversy up until his last days. He was deported from the United States and was banned from several countries afterward.

Whatever scandals that covered his life, he was still a phenomenal speaker and thinker. In “The God Conspiracy,” Osho discusses monotheistic religion, and how it affects mankind, as well as the individual. To be clear, Osho is not an atheist, and he’s not suggesting you take his own view of spirituality. In the introduction, he comes down very hard on theists, atheists, and even “New Age” believers who share his own beliefs. The main point of the book is that you can never take on spiritual beliefs based on someone else’s experience, and Osho makes it very clear his own teachings are not an exception to this.

If you compare this book to other works of Osho, you will find many contradictions, and it appears that this is intentional. Osho has said several times he does not want you to believe a word he says, and it looks like he’s enforcing this by always keeping you on your toes. It’s a necessary measure, as his writing is so charismatic that you may find yourself wanting to buy into whatever he says.

He encourages you to take a Zen-like mindset in which you only believe in what you’ve experienced. One of Osho’s points is that if you haven’t experienced reincarnation, then you shouldn’t believe in it, even if Osho does. If you haven’t experienced God, or confirmed that a supreme being doesn’t exist, then Osho says that neither being a theist or atheist are options for you.

For people of all spiritual and religious faiths, I highly recommend this book. It will forever change the way you view religion and spirituality. If you are a member of a traditional religion, the book will challenge, and maybe even offend, the principles you grew up with. However, Osho’s whole self-stated purpose is to challenge your beliefs, even if you agree with him.

If there’s one negative, it’s that the book gets a little slow about midway through. It does pick up again later on, and the book is short enough that it’s very easy to finish. The stories of Zen monks can also be a little distracting from the main point of the book, but these are definitely worth going through.

All in all, this is a must read.

The word “Taxes” can invoke feelings of fear and apprehension, such as not having a clue how to prepare an amended tax form, because the IRS said they refigured your 6 year old return and now you owe $10,000 instead of your expected refund of $400, which by the way, you owe back.

On the other hand, “Taxes” can invoke a Patriotic feeling, for after all, it was taxes which so enraged the colonists, which eventually resulted in the Revolutionary War and the very creation of our country. We pay taxes this very day to support our troops abroad, much as the English did for their troops over here.

So we have feelings of fear, apprehension, patriotism and a whole gamut in between, including the majority felt, “I just don’t like paying taxes” and “Taxes are too high.”

I’ve never been a fan of taxes, but I always knew it was one of them “necessary evils” they talk about, whoever they are. Taxes are one thing, but when the Government enters into a conspiracy with Big Business to bilk additional billions of dollars of cruel and unusual taxes from its citizens, now I’m pissed.

I read an article where a lovely young couple, late twenties, a couple of kids, in debt over their head, but treading water, thought they had died and went to Heaven when they were notified they were to be participants on a television game show.

The young couple were extremely lucky playing the highly televised, and very profitable show, for the Big Business which owned it. They walked away ecstatic, as they had won prices, boats, motorcycles and furniture, they could have never been able to afford to buy themselves, not anytime in the near future anyhow.

Their first notification from the IRS left them surprised and confused, while the second notification led to panic and bewilderment, and the third left them devastated and hopeless.

This young couple were 1 of millions of Americans who didn’t know they owed taxes on everything they won on that game show. The taxes due were far above any amount they could pay, they tried selling the goods, but were only able to get a fraction of its actual value and then they owed taxes on the income they received when they sold the merchandise.

The couple eventually lost their home to foreclosure and declared bankruptcy in the process. What had appeared as a gift from Heaven, became a cancer of cruel taxation which literally ate their financial future.

Speaking of bankruptcy, that brings me to my next burr under the saddle. Government, how should I say it, Stupidity, has created an economic collapse of our economy, which has really hammered the middle class hard, resulting in a historic amount of personal bankruptcies being filed.

Although the Bush administration, with collaboration of Big Business, attempted to stop the ability to file bankruptcy as a whole, instead were successful at making it extremely difficult, but not impossible to declare.

Faced with the possibility of bankruptcies discharging debts, mainly credit card debt, Big Business and the Government conspired to create another avenue in which to wring every last penny they could from the American citizen. Had it not been so cruel to the people, it would have been a brilliant win-win situation, for both of them.

They created and advertised heavily, appealing to a persons’ moral values, debt reductions companies. Millions of people have enlisted these type pf companies to negotiate debt forgiveness with credit card companies.

Here’s the rub nobody is informed of until too late. The Credit negotiation companies make profit from the debtor, the Credit Card Companies get profit from monies which you would not have paid had you filed bankruptcy, AND any debt the Credit Card company forgives, which is normally exorbitant interest rate debt, is counted as income and you now owe taxes on it.

Taxes of course are Non – Dischargeable through bankruptcy, so in theory, a very realistic theory, everybody involved can make a profit from your debt, except you, who could lose everything you had left due to an IRS seizure.

The Co-Conspirators, both of business and government, should face criminal charges and jail time for their deeds. What they did was really no different than Ponzi Schemes run by recent infamous White Collar criminals.

It goes without saying that you can only believe 1/2 of what you read. Everyone is busy trying to sell us something, their political views, their products and services. They use all sorts of tactics – many of which borderline on Fear. Scaring us into taking action – buying what they are selling.

Not long ago, I read an interesting article titled: "9 Chemicals that are Killing Your Testosterone Levels and Stealing Your Manhood (Note: These chemicals are harmful to women too, even though this article focuses on the harm being done to men's Testosterone)" by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist & Dr. Richard Cohen, MD. The article stated:

"Recent studies indicate that the testosterone level of the average male today is 25% less than it was in 1992 (Comparing males of the same ages). Meanwhile, the average male estrogen level has increased an alarming 40% during the same time period. The studies also show that male sperm counts are down 40% in that same time period. "

Of course the authors peddling eBooks, Supplements, and the answers to all the Testosterone Manhood problems which plague the world, didn't cite any recent studies or even bother to give the reader a place to start looking to verify their claims. Now then, this article was emailed to me by a friend who was very concerned, and rightfully so after reading that. Upon first reading of the article I stated: "Wow, it's like you cannot escape that crap – it's almost in everything we eat, breathe, wear, drink or use around the house – scary stuff."

The article went on to say that Monsanto's Round-Up, Air Pollution, Plastics, GMOs, Fluoride in the Water, MSG, and Livestock Growth Hormones. I say to this doubtful. Let me explain further. You see, later after thinking about it, I told my friend and stated the following (Next four paragraphs): On second thought on that article, it contains several factual errors, making me think the whole thing is wrong. It almost sounded like a leftist-conspiracy theorist hit-piece. First, Monsanto's Round-Up's active ingredient is actually salt. No harm or foul for testosterone and salt. Likewise the compound breaks down in only a few days so, it's not like that is even an issue.

Soot and CO2 etc, from smoke-stacks are not as bad as they used to be with the high-tech scrubbers, so I also refute that one. The real reason that men are losing their ability to make testosterone is they are living longer, they are couch potatoes, they eat crappy foods, 65% of men (and women) have diabetes or are outside their BMI or have onset Diabetes.

They also don't take in enough protein. Plus, they don't do labor type jobs using muscles and few workout, some men workout too much, endurance athletes and can't keep up with Testosterone production w / o some sort of supplements – Zinc, Magnesium, calcium, complex vitamin, amino acids, etc. They don't eat enough meat, chicken, eggs either. They make supplements with everything one needs to fix this issue … if one's body is working and they do at least some time of intensity workouts 3-times a week.

So, in hindsight, I think that article is total BS, actually I know it is. I bet their next article will say that Global Warming, failure to install LBGT bathrooms and voting for Trump will cause a lack of testosterone in men, but reading Karl Marx and quotes by Castro and Obama will fix that problem for ALL men?

Let's all be careful what we read and who we blame for our poor health choices.

Sincerely, Lance

The new world order is a conspiracy theory that tends to explain the emergence of a one world government sometime in the future. These conspiracies have culminated to other connections especially the end of the world theory. The common subject on the new world order is however related to a power elite group of people functioning in secrecy to eventually take over the world where the sovereign nations or states will be no more. These ideologies are encompassed by the procedural performance of history into addressing certain matters of economy, governance and politics in addition to wars as well as finance. The new world order has had different conspiracies over the years. In the 1990s, the entire belief was related to the end of times and an anti-government rights group from the United States. The end of the world conspiracy was interrelated with the coming of the Antichrist. The antichrist is said to rule the nations by fulfilling the writings in the Bible.

The term the new world order is not that old and neither is it that new. In the early 20th century, various statesmen used this term to refer to a new age of politics where power will be cost shared to equal balances. Other unfounded fears that culminated to the emergence of these conspiracies were for example the illuminati, free masons and the Jews getting connected to a new world conspiracy that would eventually turn catastrophic according to skeptics. The illuminati for example were as a result of a German socialist who intended to teach rationalism in mystery schools. The major objective of this group was also connected to revolutionaries of the world leadership and the upbringing of new ruling techniques. In many of the theories that connect the antichrist to the end of the world, it is said that the he will be the last pope. This is a conspiracy theory that continuously became common in the early 21st century as opposed to the fact that the antichrist may also be the leader of the European Union or the secretary general of the United Nations.

The illuminati was a conspiracy that was said to have ended in 1785 however it appears as if there are traces that lead back to this cabal even of late. Back in 29th may 1954 at hotel de Bilderberg in Netherlands, a conference was held that lasted for three days. The meeting was supposed to bring two continents together with a plan to promote antilanticism. During this time, the set objective was supposed to better understanding between the United States and Western Europe. Since 1954, Bilderberg group became common and every year, they hold a meeting referred to as the Bilderberg conference to promote the two markets. The club is usually made of about 140 notable guests who come in without invitation. The question is, are these groups having these meetings with a hidden agenda? Is this the coming age that was conceptually spoken about by key figures in the past like Woodrow Wilson? Is the new world order finally here? Well, the only thing we can add on is that time will tell.

We all know our economy sucks right now. Many think we will be in this recession for a long time. Others think the end is in site. What is really comes down to is how we can prosper financially and build wealth whether we are in a recession or not.

We live in a time where we are looking for education to know what to do in a tough time in any situation. The one thing that hasn’t been taught to most Americans is proper financial education. This isn’t taught in schools.

Our financial education, or lack thereof, is a huge factor in our declining economy. What we don’t know is killing us and is sucking our net worth away! People are stealing money from us EVERYDAY!

Many still believe in the federal government, Wall Street, and the banking system we have in place. Experts now say that we “Have the wool pulled over our eyes” for much too long and now is the time to put an end to it. There’s a conspiracy against the public. A conspiracy against you!

Experts believe that many organizations have been secretly withholding information that is vital to the networth of all Americans. This is why the proper financial education and the wealth building strategies are crucial for us to prosper when “others” are stealing from us.

Here is some startling statistics:

According to the World Bank, at the start of the decade:

2% of the adults in the world own HALF of the world’s wealth

10% own 72% of the wealth

28% are living paycheck to paycheck

23% over the age of 65, live in poverty

80% that are at the retirement age admit they can’t afford to retire

Experts say these numbers will get worse with our lack of proper financial education.

We are so uneducated about money, and are getting stolen from every single day. If we keep this up, experts say the “middle class” WILL be wiped out and our country will consist of really rich people or really poor. There won’t be any in-between. There is a Conspiracy Against our Money.

But the ones that are “Informed” about this conspiracy will have the chance to prosper. They believe there will be a 50 Trillion Dollar transfer of wealth in the next 3-5 years. Many will become of the “informed” and take advantage of this education and implementation of these new wealth building strategies.

There was a quote saying:

“Crooks are no longer wearing ski masks and pointing guns. In this new economy, these crooks come with a fancy college education, wearing suits and ties and are stealing money from the “inside” of banks instead of “outside”‘.

Wall Street, the Federal Government, and crooked bankers are “crossing their fingers” hoping this information DOESN’T leak out.

For some, the information has already been exposed, and right now a small portion of the country is profiting from it.

Other’s may never hear what the solution is to the conspiracy against our money and will be left with the clothes on their back, and that’s about it!

There have been many people who are now looking for the right financial education and wealth building strategies to avoid what will happen in the next few years.

Time will tell if you get the proper education for you and your family to prosper in the “new economy”. Will you be one of the informed?

Only a few years ago, the dog food recall has made headlines. Many of the well-known commercial brands have topped the list of the recalls in the market. What manufacturers don’t want their consumers to know are the ingredients they use to keep the prices low. But in turn, the drastic effects of this dog food conspiracy don’t just affect the animals, but their owners as well.

It is a fact that most owners buy commercial dog foods for their pets simply because they are affordable. Another reason is that the vet may have recommended a specific brand knowing that the owners would give anything to keep their pets healthy. But slip-ups could happen especially when you don’t understand the effects of certain ingredients in your pet’s meal.

Some owners have switched to home-cooked dog food to ensure that their pets are getting the best nutrition. Some even claim that home-cooked meals are the best available today. It really comes down to what you understand and look out for especially in the food that you are providing for your pet. Dog food conspiracy issues may have died down in the recent years, but it is still possible that some manufacturers are still using fillers and harmful ingredients today.

What can you do?

The answer to this burning question is to be aware of what you are feeding your dog. But as mentioned earlier, it won’t be an easy task of reading and understanding pet food labels. This is one of the hidden concerns in dog food conspiracy and manufacturers don’t want you to know that.

It is true that it’s difficult to choose and sift your options when it comes to the best foods that are commercially available. You can cook meals and still provide it with alternative dog food every now and then to balance your pet’s nutritional intake. But with the many brands and types of dog food out there, it won’t be an easy task of picking what’s truly the best in the market.

You should also be observant of your dog’s physiology. Look for signs of allergies, change in eating behavior, over-all health and disposition, as well as other odd behaviors that are not normal. If you think that you are feeding your pet with the best foods, it is more likely that symptoms and changes won’t occur. So you need to be aware of anything that is far from normal when it comes to your dog’s disposition and health.

In order to be more informed, you need to look for detailed information about dog food conspiracy, its dangers, how to prevent it, and ways to improve your pet’s health. You can gather as many information as you want from the internet. But if you can find a single but comprehensive compilation of information that tackles these issues, then take a look and find out how you can benefit from it.

If you’ll find something that will provide you with enough information on the best dog foods and how to stay away from the bad ones, you should also check if it is for free or for a fee. Make sure to check for other offers that will benefit you and your pet without the extra cost.

Anyone who loves dogs will do anything to prolong and give them a quality. If you think you are not providing enough nutrition when feeding with commercially-available foods, think of the dog food conspiracy and look for the valuable information you need. This is the right time to provide the best foods to your beloved pet to give it a healthy and quality life.

If you have any uncertainties, especially concerning the activities of the U.S. government and its various agencies, you have a reservoir of resources that you can pull from in the form of conspiracy theorists. They pop up like weeds in the lawn at the slightest hint of a semi or major event. They know all the answers to what has happened and exactly who is behind it. You can trust everything that they say because they are above the fold in the know.

They have a smirk attached to their faces towards the layperson because they possess a mystic knowledge that gives them insights and discernment unattainable to the average person. Everything has to be a Grand Canyon type cover-up perpetrated by the ruling powers in order to keep their serfs on their lashes. They are suspicions about any and every explanation given to explain evidence opposed to what they have concluded. Their minds are tightly sealed to all other viewpoints.

Not saying that this mindset is a tragedy, but only that it is very narrow in its scope. Everyone, especially those living in a free society have the right and the duty to question those that they have elected as their stewards. However, it should be remembered that the temperament of a government is the same as the temperament of an individual person. There are some things that are not practical to be disclosed to the general public for a variety of reasons.

Many individuals do not want every detail of their private affairs publicly exposed. They feel that they have a right to a certain level of secrecy. When someone starts to get a little too nosy most people will automatically go into the cover-up and disinformation mode to maintain their preferred level of personal anonymity. This is true of the government and its agencies, however, this group has a duty to be very open in how it spends the taxpayer’s money and make administrative decisions that it makes that effect the well-being of its citizens.

The motives of conspiracy theorists differ with the individual’s personal agenda. Some do it for notoriety. Others for financial gain. Others because they want to be the know it all and show-offs. Others because they can’t find a constructive way to spend their time. They do serve a purpose by making government entities accountable for their behavior and practices. Unfortunately, most conspiracy theorists mislead, distort, and outright lie to a greater extent than the person or agency that they are calling into question.

So what can be said about the conspiracy theorists approach to information sharing? By and large, it sucks. They jump on a bandwagon and ride it down into splinters. They usually cause more confusion than clarity. They generally have no qualms about using inventions, falsehood, and a fib to promote their propaganda and agendas. They seem to view most people as being Dodo birds that can be easily hoodwinked and bamboozled by them. To this end, conspiracy theorists are generally insulting and annoying.

Fancying themselves to be the bastions of all knowledge and truth conspiracy theorists make a citadel of their viewpoints and opinions regardless of the evidence before them. They adore being the focal point of attraction and the absolute center of attention. They swim in a sea of their own self-importance and look down harshly upon anyone who has the conceited gall to disagree with them.

Yet as mentioned, they do serve a purpose as a check and balance system which is useful in keeping certain individuals and agencies on their toes. This is an investigative system that works if the conspiracy theorists have personal integrity, a strong code of ethics, and respect for others.

Yes I know there is nothing innocent about a conspiracy. The word conspire means to plan ahead with forethought. It seems innocence has nothing to do with it. Yet there exists a conspiracy in the NHL based on favoritism and a total lack of objectivity. It is painfully obvious to many. Allow me to explain. Sports in general are a passion for many people. It may be baseball, football, hockey, soccer or any other sport but it can cause emotions to run high as rivalries between teams to develop. There are many of these rivalries in sports, the feuds between Oakland and Denver in the NFL comes to mind. Then there’s the hatred that exists in baseball between the Red Sox and the Yankees. These rivalries pale by comparison when you examine the rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Hockey is Canada’s national sport and passion. Full disclosure I’m a proud Habs fan who grew up in Montreal and I’ve had the thrill of watching my team hoist the ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup 14 times. I’ve witnessed the intensity of the rivalry over a lifetime. I’ve seen friends lose friendships and family members not talk to each other as they defend their respective teams. In Canadian hockey some fans boast of the Edmonton Calgary rivalry and its intensity but it’s not even close to the intense feelings between Toronto and Montreal fans.

To understand the feelings of hatred Leaf fans have for Habs fans and vice versa you need to know the history. Like a tale of two cities Montreal and Toronto are close geographically but from a hockey perspective far apart. Toronto is Canada’s largest city and the province of Ontario, the largest Anglophone population base. Montreal is in Quebec, Canada’s next largest city with predominantly a Francophone population base. Although both cities are not dissimilar in size in terms of hockey they are light years apart. Not only do you have the dynamics of an intense hockey rivalry you also have the dynamics of cultural differences.

In terms of hockey history the Leafs have been the poor cousins for a long time. Their last Stanley Cup was in 1967 and they’ve missed the playoffs for six years in a row, an embarrassment to most Leaf fans. In terms of overall record the Leafs are a.500 team. To add salt to the wounds a recent ESPN poll of 122 cities voted Toronto the worst sports city in North America.

The Montreal Canadiens are one of the most storied franchises in hockey and in professional sports. They have won 24 Cups and only trail the Yankees in terms of championships. To put things in perspective they are 1100 games over.500 which equates to winning every game for 14 seasons more than the Leafs. They dominate the Hall of Fame and have players with more cup rings than the Leafs have in their entire history. They were so strong that the NHL had to change penalty rules as they scored too many goals. In short the Canadiens have more Cups than anyone and will never be caught.

Then there are the cultural differences I mentioned earlier. There have been tensions in the past and many Quebecers have wanted to separate from Canada. The dominant sports networks CBC and TSN both located in Toronto. Our national broadcasts are almost always the Leafs a non-playoff team for six years, as they always pander to the major market. TSN, commonly referred to as the Toronto Sports Network are really a Regional Network and are easily confused with a Leaf cheering section. Some believe they have Leaf underwear on for their broadcasts. On their web site Canadians are constantly bombarded with irrelevant sport stories usually focused on the Leafs. When the Leafs Manger rides a jet, there is a story. When a leaf Manger sits on a camel there’s a story. When a Leaf player thinks he had a concussion last year there’s story. The rest of the country doesn’t care but the Toronto Sports Network knows where their bread is buttered and its painfully obvious. They bombard the country with irrelevant Leaf games and rarely provide National coverage of the most successful franchise in hockey history.

In addition on TSN hockey board’s fans have an opportunity to vent frustrations and provide opinions. The problem is it’s not equal opportunity. Leaf posters have full reign to insult players, teams and fans. I’ve been on these boards where French Canadians are referred to as sewer rats, liars, cowards and rioters with seemingly free reign. When a Habs fan does the same moderators block the post. Use your imagination of which team these moderators based in Toronto support. When ESPN provided poll results of Toronto voted worst sports city in North America TSN never even mentioned the story. If it would have been Montreal they’d still be reporting it. Go on their web site tsn.ca and try and find the poll and you won’t even find it. Regional networks protect their regional interests. This further aggravates feelings of ill will and enables an obvious bias against French Canadians and Habs fans in general.

To explain the innocent conspiracy that exists with the Reffs in the NHL I want to tell you about some kids in both provinces. In Ontario there were many young Leaf fans born many years ago. They were not all Leaf fans but it’s reasonable to assume that most were. There’s Stephen from North Bay, there’s Tim from Toronto and Bill from Guelph. Then there’s Dan from London Ontario and Paul from Guelph as well. Mike from North Bay was probably raised a Leaf fan as was Kevin from Kincardine. The there’s Dean another Peterborough kid and Wes from Georgetown.

Most of these young men were born into families who loved their Leafs. They wore the Leaf colors before they could walk. They bounced on their Dad’s knee on the traditional Saturday night games, a rite of passing in Ontario. Any man in Ontario less than 45 years old has never seen his Leafs win a Cup, the ultimate prize. No parades, no trophy and no victory party for these fans. While these young fans felt the constant sting of failure their natural enemy, the Montreal Canadiens had all the glory. It was the Habs planning the parades, enjoying the victory parties and admiring the cups. Their envy and resentment for the Habs and their fans continued to fester. Anyone who knows hockey in Canada knows the degree of contempt that Leaf fans have for the Habs and Quebec in general.

Some of these angry, envious young men grew up bleeding blue. One day they found themselves wearing the stripes Referees wear. Stephen from North Bay, Tim from Toronto, Bill from Guelph, Don from London, Paul from Guelph, Mike from North Bay, Kevin from Kincardine, Dean from Peterborough and Wes from Georgetown are or were reffs in the NHL. In fact the majority of reffs in the NHL are from Ontario and grew up as Leaf fans hating the Habs with a passion. There are some reffs from Quebec as well but you don’t generally resent someone you beat all the time and there are fewer of them.

To further understand the innocent conspiracy let’s examine the facts. The Montreal Canadiens are a small finesse team built on speed. Their coach focuses on positional play and discourages goons and goon tactics. As many Habs fans will tell you the team is too soft and gets pushed around too often without retaliation. The team has no real tough guys and is usually outsized. The team is a consistent playoff performer. So how does a small soft team lead the league in penalties last year and the year before? Add to this a coach who discourages fighting and focuses on positional play. Usually penalties are the result of being out of position.

The Leafs have been built by Brian Burke a Manger who encourages tough play and truculence as he describes it. Over the last two years the Leafs have had far fewer penalties and far more power play advantages, in fact the numbers are staggering. How does a team built on toughness that finishes 29th and 22nd in the last two years fare so much better in terms of penalties than the small, soft, speedy Habs? In a recent game against the Rangers the Habs had 10 penalties and the Rangers had two. The outcry from disgusted Habs fans is still ringing. The two reffs were Tim from Toronto and Dean from Peterborough Ontario. They are part of what many hockey fans call the ORA or Ontario Reffs Alumni and its obvious what’s going on.

Although it sounds like an oxymoron I use the term ‘innocent conspiracy’ for a reason. I don’t believe reffs form Ontario sit down and plan to make bad calls against the Habs. I don’t believe for a minute that they have an evil agenda. That’s why the conspiracy is innocent. What I do believe is that it’s virtually impossible for these reffs to be objective and it shows on the ice. How can they grow up hating the Habs, resenting their success and look at that CH on the crest and be totally objective.

How do you explain all these penalties? How do you explain all these phantom calls the Leafs benefit from that every non leaf fan jokes about. I’ve been across this great country for coast to coast at least 50 times and you hear it everywhere, its common knowledge and its turning our national sport into a farce. The solution is simple but not practical reffs from Ontario should not reff Habs or Leaf games as they lack objectivity and that’s painfully obvious. I know it would further complicate travel schedules but it would sure make for better, fair hockey that all Canadians could enjoy. It’s time for the NHL to wake up for as it is now we have the worst and most bias officiating in professional sports.
