Yet another sad anniversary to note. Today makes it three years since Dean Kory last posted on Face Book. He ended with this optimistic, forward-looking posting;
Dean Kory
March 15, 2020
You all have not been seeing posts from me for over a year because I had made the choice to stay offline through the tent city job... I'll be starting my blog on the whole sorted affair soon in order to expose the corrupt and educate the blind public. I love and have missed you all. Time to do a li'l catchin up! ...and CLEAN HOUSE!
Then total silence. We’ve speculated that it was no coincidence that his last post was made just as the covid pandemic struck here in western Canada. We assumed, for want of a better explanation, that Dean, living rough and not ageing gracefully (he was 52 in March 2020), succumbed to the virus. Post March 15, 2020 I couldn't find any trace of him on any social media and even Dean’s son searched in vain for any information on him. If he wasn't an early covid victim his anger issues could easily have resulted in a knifing in a back alley of his last known location, Victoria, British Columbia and he could have ended up as yet another unidentified body.
He was, at best, a very minor figure in the pantheon of Canadian sovereigns. He had no overall coherent philosophy or belief system. His only consistent positions were an overwhelming sense of grievance against anyone in authority and a massive sense of self-entitlement. He had the usual sovereign hypocrisy of raging against the government but demanding, as a right, the welfare that the government provided him. During his three and a half year sojourn on Vancouver Island between October 2016 and March 2020 he must have stayed at a dozen different places and was thrown out of all of them because of confrontations with landlords or management. As a result of his endless, pointless confrontations with virtually everyone he came into contact with he ended up in jail, or on trial, more often than any other sovereign I’ve reported on. In the end he was no more than a very minor figure with entirely self-inflicted problems. Being an asshole I enjoyed reading about, and reporting on, his futile struggles and I miss his Face Book saga of his struggles to destroy the whole rotten system that oppressed him.
But enough negativity! If you’re still alive Dean, happy birthday! March 10th was his 55th birthday so I’ll end this posting with the comment I made on his 50th birthday. Assuming he’s still with us it’s as appropriate now as it was then, apart from point 5;
Dean had his 50th birthday last month. So let's review where the first five decades of his life have gotten him and how he's facing his next decade;
1 - Criminal record
2 – Divorced
2 - Constant hostile interactions with the RCMP and the courts
3 - Dead broke
4 - Unemployed and probably unemployable
5 - Squatting in a tent in a garbage dump
