Ian is a retired information technologist. While working at Health Canada he completed a BCS degree with highest honours at Carleton University in 1999. In 1998 he took a leave of absence from the federal government and worked as a consultant to Ontario Hydro Nuclear for 15 months in Y2K risk management. He retired from the government in 2000, went on to earn an MCS degree at Carleton, 2002, and subsequently completed the requirements for a PhD except for a dissertation.
Several years of graduate studies have equipped him to do thorough background research and analysis on topics he finds engaging. He is owner of the eclectic blog, The POOG. The acronym “POOG” came from a forgotten source: “pissed-off old guy”. A web search found a more flattering but accurate association: ”The mightiest of all men. He fights ignorant darkness in the name of wisdom, truth, courage, and honor.”
Ian lives in Ottawa.

Archbishop (Abp) Carlo Maria Viganò called out George Soros, Klaus Schwab, and Bill Gates as leaders of the wicked agenda to create a one-world government based on secular humanist and Marxist (communist) ideology. He did this in an address to the Medical Doctors for COVID Ethics International. In the following video (14:59 minutes), Dr. Taylor Marshall discusses the address in which the Archbishop makes the charges.
When monkeypox was emerging as a disease of note I wrote an article to develop an understanding of its threat (read Understand Monkeypox Before They Turn It Into Fear Porn). Although authorities have tried to leverage the disease into a fear campaign they have not succeeded except possibly in the gay community. Having the same transmission pathway as HIV, it will likely have the same epidemiological profile except it doesn’t pose the same threat of harm and death.
Monkeypox is in the news now. How afraid should you be? Authorities may use this as the next pandemic to justify authoritarian control of your life again. Judge for yourself if this is warranted.
What is Monkeypox?
Dr. Robert Malone gives a good overview of the virus in his Substack article Monkey Pox. Key points are:
In the following video, Dr Peter McCullough discusses the clinical discoveries that his team made in treating vaccine adverse reactions in patients.
I have written in the past about the duplicity of the Ontario Liberal budgets in speaking only of net debt. The 2018-19 provincial budget was released on March 29 and I will comment briefly on how it handles the topics of debt and deficit. But first a discussion of net and total debt.
