262. ON CALLING A SPADE A SPADE…

VIEWS@16872

Calling a spade a spade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Wikipedia's use of "call a spade a spade", see Wikipedia:Call a spade a spade.
To "call a spade a spade" is a figurative expression which refers to calling something "as it is",[1] that is, by its right or proper name, without "beating about the bush"—being outspoken about it, truthfully, frankly, and directly, even to the point of being blunt or rude, and even if the subject is considered coarse, impolite, or unpleasant. The idiom originates in the classical Greek of Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica, and was introduced into the English language in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of the Apophthegmes, where Erasmus had seemingly replaced Plutarch's images of "trough" and "fig" with the more familiar "spade." The idiom has appeared in many literary and popular works, including those of Oscar WildeCharles DickensW. Somerset Maugham, and Jonathan Swift.
Full definition[edit]
To call a spade a spade or call a spade a shovel is a figurative expression which refers to explicitly calling something as it is,[1] by its right name.[2][3] The implication is that one tells the truth about the nature of the thing,[4] speaking frankly and directly about it,[2][3] including subjects, even if coarse, or considered impolite or unpleasant.[4][2][3] Brewer defined it in 1913 as being "outspoken, blunt, even to the point ofrudeness", adding that it implies ones calling "things by their proper names without any 'beating about the bush'".[5]
History[edit]
The ultimate source of this idiom is a phrase in Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica:'την σκαφην σκαφην λεγοντας (ten skaphen skaphen legontas).[6] The word σκαφη (skaphe) means "basin, or trough."[7] Lucian De Hist. Conscr. (41) has τα συκα συκα, την σκαφην δε σκαφην ονομασων (ta suka suka, ten skaphen de skaphen onomason),[8] "calling a fig a fig, and a trough a trough".
Erasmus translated Plutarch's σκαφην (skaphe), as if from σπάθη (spáthe), as ligo "shovel" in his Apophthegmatum opus. Ghandi Lakshmi speculates that the introduction of the word "shovel" may have been a conscious, dramatic choice rather than a mistranslation.[9]
The phrase was introduced to English in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of Erasmus' work, Apophthegmes, that is to saie, prompte saiynges. First gathered by Erasmus, as follows:[9]
Philippus aunswered, that the Macedonians wer feloes of no fyne witte in their termes but altogether grosse, clubbyshe, and rusticall, as they whiche had not the witte to calle a spade by any other name then a spade.
In the expression, the word spade refers to the instrument used to move earth, a very common tool.[9] The same word was used in England, Denmark, and in the Netherlands,[10] Erasmus' country of origin.[11]
=======================================================================================================================
So yes, calling a ‘Spade a Spade’ has been an issue for ‘Humanity’ for hundreds of years. Now, carrying on in the 21st Century (after Christ, Buddha, and Mohammed, and all the other best examples of humanity that continue to perfunctorily represent our daily lives), we continue to carry on as best we see fit to “Stay Alive Anymore!” (a phrase from one of my son’s former band’s tunes, talking about a naked, lost man, wandering the streets of a city, to whom it was suggested he take off “All His Clothes, and go Nude in the world, to ‘stay alive anymore’…”

Proof of this kind of extremity is rendered by the leaders of Isis, who will instruct a 12 year old, impoverished ignoramus, but now well-fed soldier-child to slice the purported culprit’s neck with a freshly sharpened sword!  Is this mankind's calling?

Wake up humanity! Chaos is running rampant among us! Lunacy and Evil are our ‘Soup du Jour! (I know, my favorite phrase) 

In my own way I will, again, express my views about how I see ‘US’ proceed in this battlefield rats nest referred to as ‘Access Justice.’ 
Having watched the ‘glorious’ introductory Utube video of Ms. Shannon Salter, as she has now joined the noble ranks of the NSRLProject, here is my response to Ms. Salters NSRLP’s indoctrination, after gleaning more about her background. 
====================================================================================
"Our newest Access to Justice All-Star is Shannon Salter, Chair of the British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal."
Shannon Salter is the Chair of the Civil Resolution Tribunal, and an adjunct professor at the UBC Allard School of law, teaching administrative law and legal ethics. 

HOWEVER! Sharron is supported by 'VICE-CHAIR' "Garth (who) has been appointed by the British Columbia Supreme Court as an Administrator under the Strata Property Act and has acted as an arbitrator in many strata disputes. 
VICE CHAIR – STRATA
J. Garth Cambrey is Vice Chair – Strata for the Civil Resolution Tribunal. Garth obtained his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia in 1984 and has over 30 years’ experience in the real estate industry in British Columbia during which time he owned and operated a private property management firm for 20 years until 2011. Garth was an elected member of the Real Estate Council of BC from 2011 through 2016, is an active member of the Real Estate Institute of BC, the BC Arbitration and Mediation Institute, holds a Chartered Arbitrator designation with the ADR Institute of Canada, and has completed the Small Claims Mediation Program. Garth has been appointed by the British Columbia Supreme Court as an Administrator under the Strata Property Act and has acted as an arbitrator in many strata disputes."
=========================================================

To me, this introduces a man who represents, as indicated, over 30 years of experience in the active 'BUSINESS' world of 'Realty.' 

Within his applicable talents, will he have the open-mindedness to be sufficiently impartial in supporting any potential clarity of participating in 'essential governments services' in our combined efforts towards finding true JUSTICE for the average citizen?   

OR,

Are the more clever merely manipulating us, by presenting a pretty picture of what could be?  Can Shannon Salter take us to the alter of Truth and Justice? Will she guide us to liberation or show to become the Angel from Hell.  I wish her well.

261. Under the GUISE of JUSTICE lurks the RHETORIC of insidious EVIL !

VIEWS@16808

LONG LIVE HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN......whichever one is reigning over the British Empire....(YIP US!)
"Whoa Canada, our Chrome and Naive Land!" 
From the Supreme Court Act!

"Powers and privileges

3  (1) The Chief Justice, Associate Chief Justice and judges have all the powers, rights, incidents, privileges and immunities of a judge of a superior court of record, and all other powers, rights, incidents, privileges and immunities that on March 29, 1870, were vested in the Chief Justice and the other justices of the court."
====================================================================

There it is! There are no longer any surprises left. There is to be only ONE WINNER, and all goes back to 1870! Now we know! The Law as set in 1870; imagine it? Nothing has changed since 1870! Such lunacy?! And it continues to reign still; raining all over us poor subject peasants...

It appears the more you poke away at a staid system the more it eventually shows its essence of origin.  So I Googled: '1870 England'!  For those of you interested - have a read...
Copied from Wikipedia" (last Para=pertinent) "immunity of jurisdiction" was borne right there!

"Civil service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Alternative civilian servicethe album, or Public service.
The term civil service can refer to either a branch of governmental service in which individuals are employed (hired) on the basis of professional merit as proven by competitive examinations; or the body of employees in any government agency apart from the military, which is a separate extension of any national government.
civil servant or public servant is a person in the public sector employed for a government department or agency. The extent of civil servants of a state as part of the "civil service" varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom, for instance, only Crown (national government) employees are referred to as civil servants whereas county or city employees are not.
Many consider the study of service to be a part of the field of public administration. Workers in "non-departmental public bodies" (sometimes called "QUANGOs") may also be classed as civil servants for the purpose of statistics and possibly for their terms and conditions. Collectively a state's civil servants form its civil service or public service.
An international civil servant or international staff member is a civilian employee who is employed by an intergovernmental organization. These international civil servants do not resort under any national legislation (from which they have immunity of jurisdiction) but are governed by internal staff regulations. All disputes related to international civil service are brought before special tribunals created by these international organizations such as, for instance, the Administrative Tribunal of the ILO. "
===================================================================================
Some 'other' events that occurred in only 'yesterday's 1870 
(in our then Queen Victoria's glorious England).
* I then wondered when Women were first allowed to Vote
"Political movement towards women's suffrage began during the war and in 1918, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed an act granting the vote to: women over the age of 30 who were householders, the wives of householders, occupiers of property with an annual rent of £5, and graduates of British universities."

* But please make note: Not just ANY woman was allowed to Vote! You had to be at least the wife of a householder; Who knows, maybe a Judge's wife was guaranteed allowances, NO questions asked...?
============================================================================
  • Back to 2016! With Internet and all the world at our fingertips, global this and global that, but better remember, 'Justice' is ANCIENT! And you, Mr. Quixote, better get it, and if and when you finally do.... get lost! You've been taking up our valuable time. You have been 'abusing the process of our courts,' while contributing NOTHING !  (They used below: 9-5 (1) (a) + {d) to shut me down.) 
    Rule 9-5 — Striking Pleadings

    Scandalous, frivolous or vexatious matters

    (1)At any stage of a proceeding, the court may order to be struck out or amended the whole or any part of a pleading, petition or other document on the ground that
    (a) it discloses no reasonable claim or defence, as the case may be,
    (b) it is unnecessary, scandalous, frivolous or vexatious,
    (c) it may prejudice, embarrass or delay the fair trial or hearing of the proceeding, or
    (d) it is otherwise an abuse of the process of the court,
    and the court may pronounce judgment or order the proceeding to be stayed or dismissed and may order the costs of the application to be paid as special costs.
    ===============================================================================


    Like Kings and Queens, the Laws for the Haloed Creme-de-la Creme Lords and Ladies, Un-accountable, Un-abashed, Un-touchable Upper Class continue to reign over us. 

    I repeat: No wonder this world is in chaos! Shame to the lot of us for these allowances.
