On October 10, 1990, a 15-year-old girl, then identified only as “Nayirah,” gave tearful testimony before the U.S. Congress She gave tearful testimony about how, during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers storming the maternity ward at the hospital in which she claimed to be a volunteer. According to her tale, the soldiers removed babies from the incubators and left them on the “cold floor” (this is Kuwait, not Canada, keep in mind) to die. The Iraqi soldiers then supposedly removed the incubators. Presumably, taking them back to Iraq. It was a performance worthy of an Academy Award.
15-year-old war criminal Nayirah al-Sabah gives testimony before the U.S. Congress on October 10, 1990 about purported brutality by Iraqi troops, including killings of babies and theft of incubators from Kuwaiti hospitals.
The tale took on a life of its own. It was repeated by other Kuwaiti officials. All of whom claimed to have personally witnessed exactly what this girl Nayirah witnessed.
The American public was outraged. As were people around the world. The brutality of the Saddam Hussein regime must be stopped at all cost. And the only way to accomplish that was for all free countries around the world (conveniently named “the allies” or “the coalition”), led by the United States, of course, to storm into Kuwait and re-take the place.
It was all a lie. “Nayirah” was, in fact, Nayirah al-Sabah, whose dad was the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States and Canada. Her entire story was concocted by public relations firm Hill and Knowlton and its creation, “Citizens for a Free Kuwait.” Citizens for a Free Kuwait was a rather strange-sounding name as Kuwait was not free before the then-sanctioned U.S. occupation (see April Glaspie), was not free during the occupation, and there was certainly no suggestion it would be free after a successful “liberation.”
The lead-up to al-Sabah’s testimony on October 10, 1990 goes back at least one-and-a-half months. On September 2, 1990, Kuwait’s U.N. Representative, Mohammad A. Abulhasan, wrote to Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, alleging brutality on the part of Iraqi troops as well as theft of state assets and hospital equipment, including incubators.
On September 5, the Kuwaiti health minister, Abdul Wahab Al-Fowzan, made similar allegations.
On September 9, National Public Radio claimed Iraqi solders had stormed a ward for premature infants, turned off the oxygen and removed the incubators.
On September 17, Edward Gnelm, the United States ambassador-designate to Kuwait (keep in mind, April Glaspie had been fired by this time) claimed 22 babies had died when Iraqi solders stole their incubators.
The Washington Post, which had previously reported it was unable to verify such claims, published a story on September 25 which accused Iraqi soldiers of removing babies and “stripping hospitals of incubators.”
Kuwait’s Emir, Sheik Jabbar al Ahmed al Sabah, complained to President George Herbert Walker Daddy Bush about stolen incubators, murders of babies and other Iraqi atrocities on September 29, 1990,
In its September 30, 1990 edition, U.S. News and World Report reported on the shocking brutality of Iraqi troops in Kuwait, including the removal of babies from incubators, leaving those babies to die of exposure (again, Kuwait), and the relocation of those incubators to Iraq.
On October 9, 1990, the day before Nayirah’s Big Day, President Bush stated at a news conference, “I thought General Scowcroft put it very well after the Amir left here. And I am very much concerned, not just about the physical dismantling but of the brutality that has now been written on by Amnesty International confirming some of the tales told us by the Amir of brutality. It’s just unbelievable, some of the things at least he reflected. I mean, people on a dialysis machine cut off, the machine sent to Baghdad; babies in incubators heaved out of the incubators and the incubators themselves sent to Baghdad. Now, I don’t know how many of these tales can be authenticated, but I do know that when the Amir was here he was speaking from the heart. And after that came Amnesty International, who were debriefing many of the people at the border. And it’s sickening.“
To his credit, at least Bush referred to those claims as “tales.”
The rest, as they say, is history. The Fifth Estate, a weekly documentary program produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, exposed this hoax a December, 1992 broadcast, “To Sell A War” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaR1YBR5g6U.
Of course, we have been lied to many, many times since then. “Saddam’s Nukular Bombs” probably ranks even higher in notoriety than Nayirah’s tale for one basic reason: the claims were related to us by people who ought to have known better. Governments (chiefly the one located in the District of Criminals) are still lying to us. But the success rates of their various acts of deception are questionable. In 1990, we didn’t have a commercially-available internet. We didn’t have the means of independently verifying every single fact presented before us. We didn’t have a YouTube, which allowed public officials making outlandish claims to be exposed as habitual liars.
Newspapers and broadcast media organizations didn’t have comment sections. And now, they probably wish they didn’t. As commenters often use their own websites to call out Big Media lies.
Even in the lead up to Iraq II in 2003, the internet was still a relatively new novelty. Many of us had it, but we were mostly on dial-up. And most of those dial-up portals were controlled by America-On-Line. If you could get past the busy signal in the first place. So of course, in 2003, we bought “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” Hook. Line. And sinker.
Millions of people around the world have died because of Big Lies since Nayirah told her sorrowful tale 25 years ago. Bosnia. Serbia. Somalia. Sudan. Yemen. Afghanistan. Mali (yes, they even invaded Timbuktu). Libya. Syria. And occupied Palestine, whenever israel throws a temper tantrum. Thankfully, the brakes have been put on any thought of invading Iran. And the good people of Iran probably have their neighbours in Iraq to thank for their double-sacrifice in 1990 and 2003.
General Wesley Clark (retired): “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
Admail (Canada Post lingo for junk mail) from the Conservative Party.
I’m sure there are people out there (one or two maybe) who would be thrilled to get a letter purporting to come from the office of the prime minister. I am not one of them. As indicated by the “admail” stamp, and the return address of the Conservative Party of Canada, this is clearly a fundraising appeal from Steve.
I’m not sure when it was that I gave up on the Conservative Party. Was it when Deborah Grey turned her back on her fellow Reform members who got her there and stuck her fat nose in the parliamentary “pension” trough? Or was it when the former signatory of Conservative fundraising letters Irving Gerstein ended up in the senate?
I’m not even sure how these bastards got my home address because I sure as hell didn’t keep their membership department updated. And when I wrote to the beasts, I used my P.O. box as my return address.
What an ingenious bunch these neocons are.
I’m voting NDP this time around. And if by some miracle: a) they are elected and; b) they don’t screw things up, I just might vote for them again next election.
On the other hand, if and when the Conservative Party redeems itself and chooses for itself a leader who is worth of being called a libertarian conservative (not a new world order fascist), and someone who is completely removed from not only the current regime but the larger new world order agenda, I’ll be back. Until then, I don’t want to hear from these sons of bitches.
As for the envelope, I didn’t open it. I’m putting it back in the mail box.
As you know, your friend Peter MacKay unexpectedly up and quit.
I am writing once again to make the same request of you.
Please gather up all of your belongings, walk past the senate, turn your badge into the security guard and get out of our sight.
Back to the Futre II (Universal Pictures, 1989)
In the past decade, you have done absolutely nothing for the Niagara region. On the contrary, plants have continued to close and jobs – real jobs, not part-time season gigs on Clifton Hill – have continued to disappear.
You have conspired with fellow low-lives MacKay, Victor Toews and Steven Blaney to bring in an American-style police state.
Police department employees from London, Ontario participating in the Toronto police riots on June 26, 2010.
You have committed war crimes around the planet by overthrowing the legitimately elected government of Ukraine, supplying and arming the Poroshenko regime. You have given aid and comfort to war criminals in the israeli government. The Harper regime participated in overthrowing the Khadaffi regime and bringing civil war and destruction to what used to be the most prosperous country in North Africa.
You have brought similar death, destruction and misery to Syria but have yet been unsuccessful in bringing down that elected government. The people who live in those areas of Syria now subject to the ISIS regime and its brutal Sharia “law,” While Syria was never a particularly nice place to live under the Assads, at least they didn’t have decapitations and amputations.
You have knowingly lied to Canadians about events around the world. By advancing the popular narrative, you have been a participant in false flag terror events (namely: the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine, the creation of “ISIS” and “Khorosan,” and the double homicide in Ottawa which took place last year).
“Get outta here, you low-life scum!” — John McCain
You have subverted yourself personally to the government of israel, as has every other member of the Harper regime. Where I come from (Canada), that’s called treason.
Canada’s economic policy is created not for the benefit of the people of Canada, but by a privately-owned corporation across the street from your office which creates currency out of thin air and loans it to Canadians at interest. A corporation which acts on the behest of Goldman Sachs and other New York and City of London banksters. As attorney general, you did nothing to enforce the Bank of Canada Act, which requires among other things, that the Bank act as a credit creation instrument at no charge.
As foreign minister, you have exported your incompetence around the world, as the good people of Miami are finding out.
Canadian consul general Roxanne Dube (right) (Toronto Star)Indicted murderer Marc Wayafiyazhu, 15-year-old son of Canadian consul general Roxanne Dube appears in a Miami court room (Walter Michot, Miami Herald)
By bringing Canadian forces into the U.S. War of Terror, you have not only put our servicemen in danger overseas, but – by your own narrative – you have put Canadian citizens in danger right here at home.
An employee of the Ottawa police department points his firearm at Canadian citizens.
As defense minister, you were complicit in torture carried out in Afghanistan and Guantanamo. Another war crime worthy of your prosecution and incarceration.
Your regime and its courts have put Canadians health in danger by refusing to regulate GMO foods. Worse, your regime has effectively adopted the U.S. “Monsanto Protection Act.”
Your regime has conspired with regimes around the world to implement worldwide fascism through the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Your office has refused to send me a text copy of this “agreement.”
Thirty of your partners-in-crime have seen the writing on the wall, Bob.
It’s pretty bad when we’ve gotten to the point where the only mainstream party that appears to be able to extricate Canadians from this mess and restore our freedoms is the N.D.P. My only fear is that a Prime Minister Thomas Mulcair will go Obama on us (i.e. as opposed to repairing the damage of the previous administration, only accelerating it).
As a conservative, I abhor socialism, big government, high taxes and structural deficits (i.e. what we have right now). But after eight years of incremental fascism under the Harper regime, socialism starts to look pretty good. The key is for Canadians to retain their freedoms to oppose whatever policies an NDP government might bring in and reverse them if necessary.
Now, Bob, I know that you, Peter and the rest of your cronies are counting on a nice Senate sinecure. After all, nothing is more dangerous than a cornered animal. Especially one who has nothing to lose. I hope you enjoy your gig there because I promise you that will be the last straw for Canadians.
We will take back our country and our freedoms, Bob. And you are frankly too old and too stupid to do anything to stop us. I’ve been telling you for six years: you are not going to get your new world order and you are not going to get your police state. You have failed your masters in Tel Aviv, New York and City of London.
Please, Bob…just get lost. And take Mrs. Quinney and that clueless dimwitted adolescent who answers your Niagara Falls constituency office phone with you.
And don’t let the cell door hit you on the way in.
Sincerely,
P.S.: All these years and you made one mistake, Bob: You forgot to bring Diebold voting machines to Canada.
It has come to my attention that elections will be held in israel on March 17 of this year.
.
I would like to suggest to you that this would be a perfect opportunity to express your collective “love for israel” (homage to Mr. Baird) by running for office in its Knesset. Given your selfless personal sacrifices on behalf of The Apartheid State, I can think of no better testament of your commitment to your masters than by becoming one with them.
.
By moving to israel and serving in their public office, and by taking as many of your like-minded colleagues as possible with you, this would also afford Canadians the unique opportunity to elect members of parliament who will truly represent the interests of Canada first, second and third. Yeah, Runciman, I know, I know. You’re not into the whole “election” and “working for the people” business any longer. But hear me out.
.
For many of you in the current regime, I believe serving as M.K.s would be a perfect fit. israeli voters have historically leaned towards psychopaths in their government. Frankly, most of you would be shoo-ins. If I were an israeli citizen, and I were inclined to have my country run by blood-thirsty, psychotic, pathological liars, I would vote for any one of you in a heartbeat.
israeli prime minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu
I would be the first to admit that following in the footsteps of such great luminaries as Benjamin Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett, Moshe Yaalon, Ariel Sharon, Golda Meir (“We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.”) and of course, David Ben Gurion (“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”) would not be easy.
.
Just think of how safe and secure you would all be in israel. All that tributecoming in from The Colonies. The israeli occupation forces (many of them Canadians, I understand) protecting you from those pesky brown people. A populace who has completely accepted the police state (you guys haven’t quite pulled that one over on us yet; you keep trying but you just can’t get it done). Police brutality without consequence. Seriously, guys, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen israeli cops at work. They don’t even have to bother with the “stop resisting!” mumbo jumbo.

And if a massive economic collapse happens – presumably brought upon by the one-and-a-half quadrillion dollars of worthless credit default swaps, J.P. Morgan being wiped out by demand for physical silver, countries demanding their gold (real gold, not the tungsten or lead stuff) back, the inability of the federal reserve to print any more paper and the world’s refusal to send back real goods and resources for that paper, the rest of the world being unwilling to accept the federal reserve and the U.S. government exporting inflation around the world, China pulling the plug on the U.S. credit card – do you really think that politicians such as yourselves who have been complicit in this system want to be around to feel the wrath of Canadians? I’m not saying this is going to happen in 2015, but I am cautiously optimistic the fraud will collapse sooner rather than later. As I have been for years now.

Of course, if the federal reserve finally goes Enron (like it should have, around the same time Enron did), I can’t think of any place you would rather be. I certainly can’t think of any place I would rather you be.
Nicholson, you like spying? Well, get this! Every single byte the National Security Agency scoops up around the world ends up in israel. In fact, in many cases, israel actuallysupplies that data to the U.S., who act on it accordingly. Osirak? israel. Text messages to israeli nationals not to show up for work on September 11, 2001? Shame CNN never got any of those messages, eh, Bob? But I digress. Niger yellow cake? israel. Assad gassed his own people? Yup. You guessed it. “Beheading” movies on the internet? Uh huh. Call Rita Katz over at SITE. She’ll tell you all about it.
As for we Canadians, your departure would allow us to bring about a full constitutional restoration in our country along with an honest banking and monetary system. Our teachers would be free to teach without fear of repercussions.
We could finally elect people whose only loyalty is to Canada by changing the law so that parliamentarians and civil servants actually swear an oath to Canada and Canadians, not the queen of England.
We might even get our cops to be our friends and neighbours again, and behave accordingly.
.
I wouldn’t presume to speak for my American friends, but I’m sure a significant segment of their population wouldn’t mind seeing their israel-firsters flee the District of Criminals either.
Senator Rand Paul, (R-The KY state) completes his conversion at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Note to Alex Jones listeners: Suckers!
And, uh, if israel doesn’t work out, there’s always Mars. Or the Sun.
Ironically, the N.Y.P.D. itself may have recognized – briefly – that it has taken things to far. It attempted to deescalate the conflict by imposing a moratorium on “unnecessary arrests.” It is not clear if the arrest of Eric Garner, who was ostensibly wanted for selling untaxed cigarettes and who ended up being murdered by the same police workers against whom he had filed a complaint of theft against – fell into the category of an arrest that was “absolutely necessary.”
New York City police union president Patrick Lynch (a fitting name for a cop) declared war on the public. Even more ominously, a dipshit New England police department (Chicopee, Massachusetts), made a show of publicizing and threatening to charge a man for merely quoting “wings on pigs.” Assuming Chicopee has an honest magistrate, the town’s “show cause” will be thrown out and the district attorney and police department sanctioned.
I don’t know Charles DiRosa, the man being harassed by the Chicopee Police Deparment. But if the act of merely quoting a social media phrase used in a notorious crime is cause for arresting or otherwise stifling dissenters, I have a message for Chicopee and every other police department: I AM SPARTACUS.
I do not live in Massachusetts. I am not an American citizen. So I am not concerned with crocodile tears and wolf-crying by tyrannical police workers. I am Canadian. It may be illegal to express my conviction that the popular narrative of 1940s German history is a hoax (which it is). It is against the law for me to criticize judges by name and call them incompetent and corrupt (which they are). It has recently been made an offense to hurt the feelings of israeli dual-nationals. But, to the best of my knowledge, quoting a phrase, “Gonna put wings on pigs,” which returns nearly a quarter-million hits on The Google (homage to George W. Bush), is still permissible speech.
We got the same admonishment to watch our language after U.S. Congressman Gabriel Giffords was shot.
Former U.S. congress critter Gabrielle Giffords (left)
Police departments and district attorneys are clearly taking a page from the United States Secret Service, who instil fear in criticizing the president lest they get a “knock on the door.” Of course it is illegal to threaten to kill the president. As it should be. Even if you are the Altanta Jewish News. And now police workers are attempting to set the precedent that simply discussing an act of violence is cause to be “picked up.”
If you don’t want to get raped by a cop, don’t break the law. So says Austin, Tx. police chief Art Acevedo.
If the New York Police Department and other police workers are upset with or threatened by public protests, perhaps they should modify their behavior so that they don’t generate so much outrage.
And when police workers DO misbehave, chiefs of police and attorneys general have an obligation to correct them through serious employment sanctions (up to an including termination), legal charges and prison time.
Let’s talk about Ismaaiyl Brinsley . He fits the profile of every miscreant who has committed a heinous crime. He was clearly mentally ill. He had a troubled youth. And, oh yes, he was an eeeeevil Muslim. He was on prescription anti-depressants. You won’t find the network newscasts talking about peoples’ brains being fried by the same products who buy advertising time. Ask you doctor if losing your mind, going on a mass-shooting spree and ending with a bullet in your brain is right for you.
It is absolutely frightening that the same drugs that have eviscerated the brains of these “shooters” and “bombers” are the same drugs used by the soldiers in Iraq of Afghanistan and who came back home to become cops. See Daniel “Danny” Martin, the Oklahoma state employee who beat up paramedic Maurice White in 2009. Or see the Tarnak Farm (Afghanistan) incident, where U.S. Air Force employees Harry Schmidt and William Umbach dropped a 500-pound bomb on Canadian soldiers below killing four and injuring eight.
Most clear-thinking people are smart enough to recognize that the enemy (our usurped governments and its occupying army) are trying to goad us into war. And we have the good common sense to know not to fall for it and to not give them what they want.
Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanh is still miraculously alive despite Habersham County, Georgia deputy Charles Long throwing a flash grenade into the 19-month-old boy’s playpen. Long and the rest of his SWAT team were looking for a former occupant (Wanis Thonetheva) who was later arrested without incident elsewhere. Thonetheva was wanted for selling fifty dollars worth of smack. The Phonesavanh family were staying in their relatives’ Georgia garage after their Wisconsin home burned down. Bou-Bou has been horribly disfigured after the attack. He will require a lifetime of medical care and his family faces medical bills of $1-million and counting. The corrupt Habersham County have washed their hands of any responsibility.
Back in New York City, 28-year-old Akai Gurley was shot at point-blank range by city police worker Peter Liang in the stairwell of Gurley’s apartment building. By the time a building resident had called for an ambulance and Liang had text-messaged his union rep for help, it was too late. Even William Bratton, New York City’s police commissioner, couldn’t defend this one. “The deceased is totally innocent. He just happened to be in the hallway. He was not engaged in any criminal activity.”
Then, of course, there was that messy business in 2012 at the Empire State Building where, in the process of taking down Jeff Johnson, New York’s finest shot nine innocent bystanders in the process. The two police employees were hailed (if you’ll pardon the pun) as heroes by anti-gun mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Because the incident was caught on video (despite the efforts of police, who seized every cellphone they could find) Mehersle was arrested, though he served less than two years for the murder. A compliant grand jury did not indict Long or any other deputy for the assault on Bou-bou. Liang’s shooting is still being “investigated” and he has not yet been indicted.
Joseph Weekly’s trial resulted in a mistrial.
Then there are all the dogs – we don’t know if the number is in the hundreds or even thousands – who have been sent to Doggy Heaven by police. A little bit south of where I am, the Buffalo Police Department has dispatched at least 92 dogs (25 of them by one worker). This really shouldn’t come as a surprise. The brain-damaged veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were not content with killing hundreds of thousands of people. YouTube videos also turned up of Amerika’s brave men, women and children in uniform throwing a puppy off a cliff and shooting another dog in the hind leg.
And now they have come home to become cops.
Also in Buffalo, Cariol Horne, a BDP employee, was fired after intervening in the assault of a handcuffed suspect by a fellow worker, Gregory “Greg” Kiakowski. Kiakowski then punched Horne, a woman, in the face (you’re a real manly man, eh, Greg?). Horne then got the “civilian” treatment. She was charged with assaulting Kiakowski because her face got in the way of his fist. Because Horne had been on the job only 19 years, she lost her pension when she was fired.
Kiakowski retired from the Buffalo Police Department. Apparently some business about punching and choking two other officers in two separate incidents unrelated to Horne.
Horne now works as a trucker and is trying to be re-instated.
Cariol Horne (and it kills me to say this) seems like a stand-up cop. If I were a drinking man, I’d probably want to have a beer with her. But it is beyond belief that she could spend 19 years in the police business and not see her share of totally innocent people being railroaded. She had to be incredibly naïve to not consider that it might come back around to her someday.
The city of Buffalo is an economic disaster area. Anybody who can leave has left. So now cops have been reduced to turning against each other.
Given the behavior of police “post-9/11” (I hate that term), it is no surprise that “the authorities” would now very much like to criminalize any criticism. In Italy, it is actually a crime to “slander” police.
Here in Canada, the situation is not as grim, but “our” police are quickly catching up.
In Vancouver, no Royal Canadian Mounted Police workers have been convicted of any crime in the death of Dziekanski, the stapler-wielding man who was tazered to death. Two of the police workers have been charged with perjury. Benjamim “Monte” Robinson, who was the commanding officer at the incident, later mowed down 21-year old Orion Hutchinson. What is undisputed is that Robinson, driving a Jeep, ran into Hutchinson’s motorcycle in suburban Delta. Robinson then lef the scene of the collision and went home where he consumed a quantity of vodka. He then returned to the crime scene. He claimed he was sober at the time, but needed the drink when he returned home to “calm his nerves.” And, one would suppose, summon up the courage to return to the crime scene.
(Vancouver Province) Homicidal ex-RCMP employee Benjamin “Monty” Robinson
Delta police did not charge Robinson with drunk driving, but he was charged with obstruction of justice for the act of consuming alcohol and returning to the scene. He was fined
$1,000, ordered to tell the Hutchinson family he was sorry, and served no prison time. He was not present for his sentencing.
Pierre Lemaitre, the R.C.M.P. spokesman and apologist for the Dzieiekanski incident, did the honorable thing and hanged himself. Lemaitre had been exposed as a liar regarding conflict which eventually resulted in Dziekansi’s death.
In Toronto, James Forcillo is awaiting trial on charges of second-degree murder in the death of Sammy Yatin and (curiously) a second charge of attempted murder. Forcillo was seen on a cellphone video firing nine shots into Yatin. The first round of shots were from a standing position. In the second round of shots, Forcillo points his gun downwards (after Yatin has collapsed from the first round) to finish him off.
After the Toronto G-20 police riot in 2010, the Special Investigations Unit, the provincial civilian agency tasked with prosecuting police criminality, was reluctant to charge any police employee. The S.I.U. claimed it could not identify the workers. It was only after The Toronto Star published photographs which clearly showed the “officers’” badge numbers that the S.I.U. finally made itself useful. Twenty-eight police employees have been charged. To date, only one has been convicted.
Superintendent David “Mark” Fenton of the Toronto Police is the highest-ranking employee to be charged, however his is merely a disciplinary procedure, not criminal. The only thing at stake is his job. Fenton is the genius who ordered the “kettling” of everybody (not just protesters) and who also ordered unconstitutional preemptive detentions and arrests.
Suffice it to say, the list of police misconduct, brutality and worse is a long one. Innocent people have gone to prison because of police and prosecutorial misconduct. The lucky ones have defended themselves against bad cops, but only at the cost of their families and every dime they have. Innocent men have been released after decades on death row, so it is obvious than even more innocent men have been executed.
We have good reason to be angry at police behavior. The days of dismissing those of calling for police accountability as “cop-haters” or marginalizing us by saying we must have gotten a speeding ticket or D.U.I. are gone (the latter is actually ironic coming from cops, since it is well documented that they merely flash their badge to each other to escape such charges).
Turning our frustration and our rage in to violence against random police workers is the worst thing we could do. I realize that the idea of our various countries collapsing is unthinkable. The idea that the Soviet Union would cease to exist was as unthinkable in 1989 is the collapse of the United States government is in 2014. But it happened. And when it did, it took its various satellite states along with it. State collaborators were dealt with.
When East Germany ceased to be, its Stasi files were made public. Even today, former police agents are watching over their shoulders.
In advocating non-violence in dealing with our police state, it boils down to this. When it comes to you men and women in black: you just aren’t worth it. I’m not going to go into my personal details, but I will disclose that I work for a railway. I sometimes deal with members of the public and supervisors who are, well, real jerks. Yeah, in my fantasies, I want to sock them across the face. But that’s just in my fantasies. I live in the real world. I have to deal with it. Because, like you guys, they just aren’t worth it. The problem is, a lot of the people you deal with (either as colleagues or bad guys), they are so doped up on prescription anti-depressants that they can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
Those of you engaged in murder, rape, perjury, etc. will be brought to justice in a future constitutional restoration. And you’ll spend the rest of your lives in prison. There will be plenty of room when the non-violent “criminals” you railroaded are freed.
I am writing this column on December 25, 2014. It was on this very day, in 1989, that Nicolae Ceaucescu, the president of Romania and his wife Elena were picked up by the Romanian army in the morning and ended up as bloodstains on the courthouse wall that afternoon. When your own tyrannical army has had enough of your tyranny, that’s when it’s all over.

If you guys with the guns want to have the public’s support – and want your children to live under the same freedom you and I grew up with – why not make yourself useful and turn your guns around and point them at the right people? Go to the District of Criminals, or Ottawa, or London, or Paris, and arrest the crooked politicians and bureaucrats.
U.S. Border Patrol agents: arrest the people responsible for shipping the guns across the border to Mexico, resulting in the death of Brian Terry. And remember who put Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in prison. It wasn’t the people you’re pulling over at the side of I-10 in Sierra Blanca.
Go to Wall Street. Go to the Federal Reserve. Arrest the banksters. Charge them with fraud on an absolutely massive scale. You are going to be so pissed off when you find out your pension is nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper. You’ve been wiped out. Just like the rest of us.
Whether we are in the U.K., the U.S. Canada, Australia or elsewhere, it is not the people you are purportedly sworn to protect that are the problem. It is your commanding officers and the people they answer to. Not us.
We didn’t steal your pension. We didn’t let the purported 9/11 hijackers in the United States. We didn’t obstruct justice by preventing good F.B.I. agents from breaking up and preventing the plot. We didn’t walk Farouk Abdulmatulab around security at Schipol Airport. We didn’t put half the population (starting on the children) on brain-frying drugs. We’re not the ones telling you that you can’t send illegals back to Mexico. Do you guys get it? It’s not us. It’s the people you work for. In every country. So why the hell are you picking on us?
John Pike, the University of California police employee who was pepper-spraying the Occupy protesters, was on the wrong side. Despite his six-figure income (a hansome salary for a university security guard) was bankrupt. His house was in foreclosure. He should have been with the students protesting the looting of America by the New World Order. Hey, John! It wasn’t the kids who pulled the rug out from underneath you. Why didn’t you take that fire extinguisher full of O.C., head down to your Roseville branch of Security Pacific and have a word with the manager. I’m sorry they took your $3,000 wedding ring but thank god they took your gun.
John Pike made a cool 38Gs from the emotional trauma he suffered emptying his can of O.C. on protesters. Not enough to get his house out of foreclosure, but hopefully enough to at least get his $3,000 wedding ring back from the bank.
I’m sorry that two police employees lost their lives in New York. But I’m even sorrier about the number of my American friends that have lost their lives at the hands of police (more Americans have been killed by police since September 11, 2001 than died on 9/11 itself). But when you behave the way you have been, somebody, somewhere is going to snap. Police departments need more Cariol Hornes and fewer Greg Kiakowskis. Not to mention fewer Danny Martins, Joseph Weekleys, Charlie Longs, Darren Wilsons, Monty Robinsons, James Forcillos, Mark Fentons, Peter Liangs, etc., etc., etc.
In fact, I wonder if I could make a plea of all you bad cops out there. Can’t you be more like Pierre Lemaitre?
It’s like a predator. It’s stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies. But in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.”
Malcolm McDowell (as Dr. Tolian Soran), Star Trek: Generations, 1994.
Generations was one of my favorite Star Trek movies (yes, I watch Star Trek. And I am married. And I get some action once in a while. Sometimes my wife watches it with me. So there). “Generations” is the movie where they kill off Kirk. But Kirk comes back to life so they have to go back and kill him again.
.
“Time” is a constant theme throughout the movie. I was thinking about “time” as I heard of George H.W. Bush’s recent medical episode. Now, of course, I don’t wish ill upon Mr. Bush or anyone else for that matter. Daddy Bush can’t die yet. He hasn’t been brought to justice.
.
Here’s a snippit of Daddy’s great accomplishments (according to the Cartoon News Network):
Bush, 90, served as the nation’s 41st President and is the father of 43rd President George W. Bush.
Before becoming President, Bush “senior” served as vice president under Ronald Reagan.
He is also a former Navy pilot and flew 58 combat missions in World War II in the Pacific.
Bush was shot down once but was rescued by U.S. sailors, according to his White House biography. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Bush became known for his declaration that the United States should become “a kinder and gentler nation.”
Before going into politics, Bush worked in the Texas oil industry.
.
C.N.N. Forgot to mention that Daddy (former C.I.A. director) helped orchestrate the lies which led to the first Iraq war (remember Kuwaiti babies being thrown from incubators?). He killed thousands of civilians. He arranged for the bin Laden family (with whom he is friends with and was meeting with) to be spirited out of the United States on September 11, 2001, despite the ban on air travel.
.
As C.I.A. director, he ran drugs into the United States.
.
Like his fellow war criminals, he’s got a lot to answer for.
.
Unfortunately, for billions of people around the planet, time swooping in and making the kill may be the only justice N.W.O. stalwarts David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, George Soros, George Herbert Walker Bush and Richard Penis Cheney ever see. While Cheney isn’t in the octogenarian-plus category of the war criminals, his body is filled with spare parts and they have to give out sometime. See, that’s what happens when you smoke several packs of cigarettes a day. But i digress.
.
There is still hope for the other great war criminals of our time: Lil’ George, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaleeza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, John Yoo, John Ashcroft…it’s a long list. And that’s just the actors from the Iraq war. Obama and Netenyahu are certain to end up before an international tribunal. Somewhere. Some time. As are their colonial servants around the world (Harper, Cameron, Abbott, Merkel, etc.)
.
I am as pissed off as anyone else about the terrorists we have in public office calling themselves presidents and prime ministers. But I don’t advocate violence on our side. Because, as our fictional Dr. Soran said, time will take care of things for us. Hopefully sooner, rather than later.
During my three-minute drive home from work each evening (I walk to work when the weather is nice), I sometimes listen to neo-con shill Michael Alan Weiner Savage. Mr. Savage-Weiner is on a tear when it comes to the eeeevil muslims. The recent shooting incident in Australia shows every sign of being very the same false flag as all the other ones (Ottawa, District of Criminals Naval Yards, Boston, Newtown, etc., etc., etc.).
Judging by the fact that Weiner’s ratings have plunged from 10-million listeners in 2009 to half that number today, it is fair to say that a growing number of people are wise to who the likes of Weiner are working for. While the quality of his advertisers has declined along with the ratings, that phenomenon is by no means confined to Weiner. Top-shelf neo-cons such as LImbaugh, Hannity, Savage-Weiner, Beck, etc, once counted blue-chip companies such as General Motors and Proctor and Gamble as their clients, they now flog “conspiracy” videos, precious metals boiler rooms and boner pills. Then there are the cures for diabetes and cancer. And don’t forget the work-at-home scams. In other words, Big Neo Con is now competing with Jewnstown for the same advertisers.
Curiously, the big neo-con talk radio shows devote a significant amount of advertising time to Ad Council (public service) advertisements. One wonders how a program can pay its spokesman tens of millions of dollars annually – one hundred million in Pills Limbaugh’s case – more money than paid advertising could even mathematically generate, and still be able to afford to run free spots. A conspiracy kook might even be forgiven for suspecting that millions of dollars was being funnelled through these ads in the guise of “public service.” Actually, my favorite one is “This Week at the F.B.I.” They were looking for some guy regarding a murder of a church in Montana. The federal bureau of incineration still haven’t prosecuted anyone for murder of 76 people at another church in Waco, Texas in 1993 so I don’t know why they are bothering with a penny-ante homicide in the Treasure State.
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Hill and Knowlton (who, 25 years ago, brought you Nayirah al-Sabah’s tale about Iraqi soldiers throwing Kuwait babies on the floor and stealing the incubators, just to take you down memory lane) or the Council on Foreign Relations can’t very well run ads telling Limbaugh’s, Hannity’s or Weiner’s listeners what swell Joes those companies are. But run some ads featuring the vaunted FBI or Smokey the Bear? Now, that’s the ticket.
While I don’t spend a lot of time listening to neo-con talk radio, when I do, the kind of callers they get make me ask myself: how can anybody be that damned stupid? Then I think back to Premiere Radio Networks (who own Limbaugh, Hannity and George Noory among others; Weiner is owned by Cumulus). Several years ago, it was made public that Premiere was hiring actors to call into their programs. And they were also offering Premiere On Call to any show willing to pay, not just Premiere.
I’m not singling Weiner out here. Hannity is just as much as a fascist israel-firster as Weiner is. And Hannity isn’t even an israeli citizen. To his credit, Limbaugh doesn’t spend a whole lot of time doing the apartheid state’s laundry, but he is very much an agent for the banksters and the neo-con narrative.
On December 4, Savage Weiner was making known his disgust with the video which showed Eric Garner being murdered by Daniel Pantaleo, a New York City police worker. Weiner was all over the map that night. Castigating Pantaleo and his fellow NYPD employees, he was sure to keep up the “I support the police,” “you guys have a tough job,” hippies, commies, etc, narrative. He also touched on other issues of police brutality while defending homicidal police worker Darren Wilson. Unfortunately, Weiner Savage never identified the two main causes of the explosion in brutality by police department employees: a) “training” (brainwashing) by outfits such as SPLC, ADL, AIPAC, etc and direct training in israel itself which has encouraged police workers to treat “citizens” the same way israeli police treat Palestinians and; b) veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with their brains fried on SSRIs to keep them from having to deal with the war crimes they witnessed and / or participated in.
I have a message for Michael Savage Weiner and the rest of his neo-con ilk: not only are your lies a matter of public record, you risk being brought to justice in front of a future war crimes tribunal.
The “Sydney shooting” was a contrived false flag. Just as Ottawa was. And Newtown (couldn’t find a brown guy in all of New England, eh, Mike?). There was that “Via Rail / Amtrak plot” here in Niagara Falls that is certain to collapse once the role of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the federal bureau of incineration is exposed in open court. Umar Farouk Abdulmattalab was clearly walked around security (according to, among other witnesses, Kurt and Lori Haskel, a Detroit lawyer couple). Remember the one about that Iranian-American pothead used car dealer down in Texas who was plotting to kill the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S.? That one went down the memory hole in a hurry. How about those eeeeevil muslim terrorists Yousef al-Khattab (formerly Joseph Cohen), Adam Ghadan’s birthname is Adam Pearlman, Abu Tallhah al-Amrikee (ooooh, that’s a realllly scary name) had a less menacing name: Zachary Chesser. All former jews. Who just happened to become high-profile Muslim terrorists. But we’re not going to get into their former lives, are we Mike? Uh, no.
You, Weiner, will be proved a liar with regards to Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. “Russia” didn’t shoot down Flight 17 any more than it “grabbed” Crimea.
And let’s not forget: Anwar Awlaki, back when he was wanted as one of the “9/11 masterminds,” dined with senior military brass at the Pentagon.
Zio-media’s influence is slipping. And slipping fast. In fact, it has declined precipitously just since the October 22, 2014 homicide in Ottawa. Within just a few hours of that event, Google search results prominently featured sites which sought to ridicule “conspiracy theorists” and warn their readers of those tinfoil-hat wearing kooks and their “false flag!” cries. Such websites debunked “evidence” which hadn’t even been made public. Today, when I typed in “Sydney False Flag” into Google, the first several pages were filled with results which led to pages which legitimately warned that a false flag was, indeed, the case.
When China and Russia finally pull the plug on The Dollar, israel is done. At least as a colonial power. AIPAC, ADL, SPLC, and the rest of the isralien special interests…bye, bye. All that money to buy up the b.s. media: gone. The federal reserve: gone. The District of Criminals hold on the rest of the United States and the world: history. If you don’t believe the collapse of the fraudulent federal reserve economy is inevitable, just as any of the gold bug boiler rooms advertising on Weiner. Or LImbaugh, Or Hannity. Or that overnight flying saucer show.
The end of the israelien empire will also mean the end of the government of israel paying college students in the apartheid state and abroad to spam newspaper comments boards with its propaganda. Similarly, the isralien government, the U.S. state department, the C.I.A. and other federal entities will not be able to fund any more voice actors to carry out their versions of Premiere On Call.
So keep telling those lies, Big Neo-Con. Keep being the apartheid state’s bitch. Your audience is declining. Your listeners that remain are greying. Listening to you is like watching old YouTube videos of Comical Ali over there in Baghdad (remember Weapons of Mass Destruction?).It would be funny had it not resulted in the deaths of millions.
See, Mike, this is what you don’t understand: most people don’t believe (and never did) that crushing someone’s genitals is an acceptable – and reliable – way of obtaining information. And you’re really not going to like this one, Weiner: more than half of Americans accept that the U.S government was complicit (or worse) in the “attacks” of September 11, 2001. I have news for you, Mike. Once your new world order collapses, the “9/11” story will collapse along with it. And when the world finds out who really did “9/11,” the apartheid state’s holohoax tribute from around the world will dry up to nothing.
I suppose it’s still an encouraging sign that Americans are still such a moral people that their government has to lie to them and conceal its torture, atrocities and other war crimes. Because D.C. fears that if it’s behavior was fully made public, nationwide anger (not to mention that of the rest of the planet) would threaten the very existence of the federal government.
These guys are totally desperate. And what their masters in Tel Aviv will do to try and maintain control is absolutely frightening.
Here’s an-email I sent to a couple of alternative media activists with copies to the usual suspects in Canada’s Harper Regime.
Of course, the letter is somewhat dated now as the whole thing has proved to be a hoax. Or a lie, if you will. Much like everything else about Gillian (Jill or Gill) Rosenberg.
Rosenberg is referred to in b.s. media reports as an “Israeli-Canadian.”
“Israeli-Canadian.” Such a cumbersome title. Doesn’t quite roll off your tongue, does it? The word “jew” works much better. (Hint: just for fun, type “jew” into a google search and see the apology at the end of the first page:
We’re disturbed about these results as well. Please read our note here.
Israel. Rosenberg. israeli occupation forces. Even convicted criminal and ex-con (she ripped off old people; yet another heroic tribesman…woman).
Sure ticks all the Mossad boxes if you ask me. Interestingly, Toronto’s National Post newspaper said she “tried and failed” to join the Mossad. I’m not certain how they would come by this knowledge either way.
I like how it was reported that she was “abducted in Syria while” fighting for the Kurds against John McCain, sorry, ISIS. Uh, yeah. If there’s one thing those Muslims love, it’s a) jews and b) women.
syrianfreepress.wordpress.com
Since Gill is phonetically similar to Jill in Rosenberg’s case, can we call her “Jewhadi Gill?”
I’ll bet Rita Katz Studios are working on their next production as we speak. “Gill’s Head On A Stick.” “We’ve done American israelis. We’ve done British israelis. Now it’s time for a Canadian israeli. “ I can see it now. I really wish R.K.S. would perfect their special effects techniques. The whole blurring and shaky camera thing right at the good part is so Blair Witch. Entertaining 15 years ago. But come on! This is 2014! And when they try and cover up their inability to depict a real decapitation of a live person by simulating “technical problems” by inserting multi-colored squares…what’s up with that?
Montage from The Omen (1976)
If I could talk to Rita Katz, I would tell her that her “videos” would have a lot more realism if, when the antagonists in her movies held up the severed head, it had a look of terror on it. When the bad guy held up that priest’s head in that two-fer video, and the head had blank stare on it, I knew that was so fake. If somebody cut my head off with a steak knife, I would be screaming until I became unconscious. And my final expression would reflect that. My mouth would be wide open. My eyes would be bugged out. Rita really needs to depict her protagonists more accurately if she wants to be taken seriously by the film community. Remember flying plate glass scene in Omen I? Remember the expression on his face? Now that was a decapitation scene you could hang your hat on.
Yes. They are real human beings. Yes, their heads were cut off. But no, they weren’t alive when it happened. When you look at the videos and look at the brutality and savagery with which their heads were separated from the rest of their bodies, their final expressions don’t reflect the torture they were supposedly enduring. No matter how brave and how stoic you are, there is no way you are going to suffer this with a stiff upper lip. These poor fools look like they died in their sleep.
Even the New World Order’s own organs called out the Haines video as fake.
Ronny Cox’s “Cohagen” wasn’t decapitated in Total Recall. But this is probably a better approximation of one’s physical reaction to beheading-by-Ginsu than the stuff Rita Katz passes off as real.
If Rosenberg does indeed show up in a SITE movie trailer in the future, the first question I will have is: “I wonder how she died before her corpse ended up in this production.”
Well, that’s just great. A (jewish) princess.
Anyway, I found this picture purportedly of Rosenberg on the internet. But I can’t vouch for its authenticity.
Seriously, the propaganda is so goddamned insulting it makes me want to puke. What’s scary is the fact that millions of people (in Canada alone) believe this bullshit. If Rita Katz is planning on offering this woman – a woman who stole money from elderly people in telemarketing scams – to the New World Order as “ISIS’s” next “victim,” they have seriously fkng miscalculated.
I’ve been lied to so often and so convincingly in the past (my own memory goes back to Nayriah al-Sabah and the Kuwaiti incubators tale) that I can’t help but think of what used to be one of my favorite television programs: Malcolm in the Middle. In one episode, the youngest boy, Dewey, is telling his older brother Reese told him about what horrible, outrageous things would happen to him. The mom said, “Dewey, every word that comes out of Reese’s mouth is a giant, stinking lie.” That’s pretty much how I regard government. A stinking con artist and a dangerously violent war criminal. Just like Gillian Rosenberg. And when they open their mouths, all I see is a giant, disgusting stream of liquid excrement spewing out of a high-pressure hose.
This is your television. This is your television tuned to “the news.” Any questions?
At least we know Stephen Harper, John Baird and the rest of the regime were correct on one count: we need to be concerned about Canadians leaving Canada to participate in foreign terrorism. At least now we can put a name and a face to one of them.
Modern-day renaissance woman Gillian “Jewhadi Jill” Rosenberg. Soldier Telemarketing fraudster. Ex-con. Airline pilot. Mossad agent. Mercenary. israeli. Canadian. She could have saved herself a whole lot of trouble by skipping the whole ripping-off-the-old-people shtick and just gone to work for Goldman Sachs. She would have a Selling New York camera crew following her around multi-million dollar Manhattan condos by now.
Oh, this is precious. Just as I am typing this, I see this on the Globe and Mail newspaper website:
Canadian-Israeli fighter not captured by Islamic State, Kurds say
and even better…
The Canadian government is investigating conflicting informations about Ms. Rosenberg’s fate.
The SITE intel group, which monitors extremist online forums, said Sunday that somejihadiswere claiming Islamic State had “captured a Jewish female soldier fighting alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga in Kobani, and discussed ideas for executing her or using her for prisoner exchanges.
So goddamned sick and tired of being lied to, manipulated and stolen from.
Just for fun, here’s a flashback. I wrote this e-mail to opposition Liberal member of the Canadian knesset Wayne Easter when he expressed his concern about Canadians leaving to become “foreign fighters.”
Dear Mr. Easter: It has been reported that you have urged “Public Safety” (i.e. Safety of Government) minister Steven Blaney to study the issue of Islamic radicals returning to Canada from foreign battlefields. Apparently, you are concerned about young men going off to fight for ISIS, ISIL, IS or whatever the latest acronym is for this week’s two minutes of hate. Apparently, 80 such men have returned to Canada. It says here: CSIS and the RCMP have been reaching out to community leaders for years in an effort to discourage impressionable youths from heeding the call of radical Islamic figures. In a similar vein, I would like the regime to order the arrest of Canadian-born teenagers who have sworn an allegiance to israel and who attempt to leave Canada to fight The Apartheid State’s wars. Failing that, I would like the R.C.M.P. to apprehend them upon their return under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.
I am confident that an objective investigation would find that the number of young men leaving Canada in order to shoot Arab children in Occupied Palestine, blow up their schools, engage in “double taps” (launch a small attack, wait for the crowds to gather, wait for the fire department, the ambulances and security personnel to show up and then blow them all away) and hospitals and rain white phosphorous down upon them is somewhat higher 80. As our israeli friends are fond of admonishing us when it comes to the events of 1940s German history:Never Forget. And Never Again.
Obviously, my concerns are not exactly what Mr. Easter had in mind. Liberal, Conservative. Right-wing. Left-wing. They are all israel-firsters. And it’s all bullshit.
(And no, I never did get a response. Not that it would have made a difference anyway).

Dear Sir or Madam:
Two items regarding your company were in my local news today. First, your C.E.O. Gaelan Weston has pledged to compensate workers and their families in Bangladesh who were injured and killed in a factory collapse; the same factory that produced clothing for your company. The other item had to do with your company pledging to not source pork from farms which keeps in stalls.
So, just to be clear, your corporate standards for how pigs are kept are higher than the factories in which your goods are produced?
I have the highest regard for companies that insist on human treatment for its livestock. However, I have a better idea regarding your clothing line: bring those jobs back to Canada (the U.S. will do, as well). I, as a consumer, am seeing ZERO benefit from being FORCED to buy crap made in China or the worst third-world countries. I understand Nike’s labour component on a $200 pair of sneakers is about $3.
This is the same message I have conveyed to other retailers (the late Zellers, Wal-Mart, etc): I, AS A CONSUMER, DEMAND YOU MAKE AVAILABLE CANADIAN- OR U.S.-MADE PRODUCTS. From socks to garbage cans to computers and televisions. And everything in between. We are in a depression that will NEVER end until our manufacturing base returns. No amount of bankster games will change that one simple fact. Even the late Sam Walton understood that. That’s why he insisted that his stores be stocked with exclusively American-made merchandise.
I routinely make similar demands of corporations who force me to speak with somebody in a third-world country when I call “them.”
I can assure you Mr. Weston will enjoy the public relations goodwill from opening a new factory in Canada a lot more than having to apologize for a factory collapse killing a few thousand 12-year-old girls in the employ of Kathy Lee Gifford. As a celebrity C.E.0. with the best advisers money can buy, Mr. Weston cannot possibly be unaware of this fact.
If corporations such as your believe you can continue sucking up every last nickel from consumers while at the same time pulling out the carpet from beneath us forever, you are sadly mistaken.
For the record, I don’t shop at Loblaw’s or any of your subsidiary stores. I am insulted when I spend hundreds of dollars on groceries and then your clerk hits me up for a nickel for each bag. I live two hundred feet from Niagara Falls, New York. My two “local” supermarkets there (Top’s and Wegman’s) sell milk, bread and butter as loss leaders. They practically give these products away to get me into the store. I assure you it works. As a bonus, many products sold in American supermarkets are made in Canada.
When your company demands your suppliers bring manufacturing jobs back to Canada, when you don’t charge me for shopping bags, and when your prices for milk, butter and bread are about half of what they are now, I will happy to be your customer.
The idea of bringing the American police state to Canada is one that gives psychopaths like Peter MacKay big boy dreams at night.
(In this letter, I discounted the possibility of parliament actually surviving long enough before Harper had to prorogue it again; it never occurred to me that MacKay and Harper would piss off the Supreme Court so much that ANY government legislation would be D.O.A.)
August 17, 2013
Mr. Peter MacKay, M.P.
House of Commons
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0A6
Fax 1-613-992-2337
Dear Mr. MacKay:
An interesting story appeared in today’s National Post: “Peter MacKay insists Conservatives (sic) are not moving Canada toward U.S-style justice.” When a news story quotes a politician, it is important to remind oneself that the politician intends to do the exact opposite of what he is claiming.
Buried way down towards the bottom of the story: “MacKay said he also won’t be intimidated or deterred from considering new lawful access provisions despite privacy concerns that ultimately led to the death of previous bills. “
You can consider lawful access provisions all you want. You’re still not going to get them. As criminality in the senate continues to be exposed on a wider and wider scale every day, and as more scandals emerge, Mr. Harper will continue to resort to his old trick of proroguing parliament (i.e. going back to 24 Sussex and hiding until the thing blows over). That means your bill will die with it. Again and again.
And if, by some miracle you do get your warantless wiretapping bill through parliament and the disgraced senate, the Supreme Court will strike it down before it ever goes into effect. And, unfortunately for you, you won’t be able to “reform” the court in time to stop that from happening.
Conservatives such as myself are counting down the days until the next election. After your party suffers an apocalypse not seen since 1993, we can take the party back and rebuild it with the true libertarian conservative ideals that our founder, Preston Manning intended (yes, yes, I know you came from the Joe Clark / Brian Mulroney side; they wouldn’t even have done what Harper has done).
Canadians will not accept the police state that has incrementally taken over our American friends. Thanks to Edward Snowden, Big Media is now discussing topics once relegated to overnight talk radio shows and shows originating from Austin, Texas.
As I told your predecessor and Mr. Toews, if you dare to propose warrantless wiretapping (or lawful access, as you prefer to call it) I want the right as a Canadian citizen to drop by your office or your home and see what is in your computer. I want to record your telephone calls. I want to attach a GPS tracking device underneath your car and see where you go at night. And I want the same right to inspect every police department employee.
I assure you sir, you are seriously underestimating the mood of the Canadian people if you think we are going to let you get away with this.
Before you consider such legislation, I respectfully suggest you canvass your colleagues in caucus. Make sure none of them have downloaded any videos from the internet. That none of them have ever gone driving around looking for company at night (female or otherwise). And you absolutely want to be certain nobody has ever – or will ever – seek out recreational pharmaceuticals. Because people more enterprising than myself will find out.
As I have repeatedly told my M.P., your police state stops at the Niagara River. Canadians are not going to put up with it. I thought we made that clear the last time Mr. Toews tried this. Yet “your” government keeps scheming.
In closing, I do support your intention to toughen impaired driving / drugged driving penalties,. I would even go so far as to suggest a name for it: Rahim’s Law. Perhaps on the day it goes into effect, you can hop into an F-18, land in front of the Orangeville court house and hold a photo-op.
