Meow everyone . In mylast article, I introduced you all to the making of a student terrorist supporter and where some of these seeds are planted . I showed you that the Canadian Federation of Students is an organization that claims to support student needs, but instead, they are a self serving organization bent of the highest form of radicalism, where violence and property destruction go hand in hand. In this article , I will take this farther and show you how student unions are DIRECTLY funding organizations that are clearly connected to terrorism … right here in Toronto .
We are all now , sadly, familiar with the organization called Black Lives Matter Toronto. this organization is lead by a group of the most extreme racists in this city , a group who have stated their desire to create a race war , a group who openly advocate for the murder of cops and are as extreme as the KKK . I have referred to them on numerous occasions a racist group that is directly connected to the muslim brotherhood hood terrorist organization. Below are several documents that clearly support my statement as being factual :
“Black Lives Matter” working with Islamist Group in Canada
The Muslim Students Association and “Black Lives Matter” had their display tables set side by side at the recent University of Ottawa “Islam Awareness Week.” During the full week of 07 March 2015, the two groups handed out books to students and staff at the university and spread their ideology.
The Muslim Students Association (MSA), was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood as one of its front groups with an eye towards recruitment and education.[1]
All of those from the MSA seemed to be Sunni Muslim. None were Ahmadiyya, Ismaili or Shia. An individual asked about the lack of representation of other Muslim groups stated they did not know why this was occurring.
Multiple books were handed out. One was the Qur’an in English, while two others explained that all the scientific progress in modern civilization is to be found in the Quran and the Sunnah.
The third book handed out was on ISIS and essentially tried to explain that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. When questioned, an individual at one of the booths stated that the West and the media are the ones who make a bad image of Islam. When pushed, this individual said there were no internal contradictions or problems within the faith.
The presence of a “Black Lives Matter” booth is consistent with the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood front groups in North America. Attempts by Islamist groups to exploit the black community to their advantage are not new. The most recent examples were seen in Ferguson Missouri when CAIR USA (Council on American Islamic Relations) made repeated attempts to inject itself and the Islamist ideology into events there.[2]
CAIR USA itself is a listed terrorist group in the United Arab Emirates[3]as well as being identified as a front group for HAMAS, itself a Muslim Brotherhood entity.
Ironically, the second most influential person in the Muslim Brotherhood (Sayed Qutb) spent two years in the United States and made incredibly racist statement about blacks. The most infamous one was:
Jazz – This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other. The American’s intoxication in “jazz” music does not reach its full completion until the music is accompanied by singing that is just as coarse and obnoxious as the music itself. Meanwhile, the noise of the instruments and the voices mounts, and it rings in the ears to an unbearable degree….[4]
The University of Ottawa
The University of Ottawa is famous, or perhaps infamous, for its list of alumni who have gone on to become jihadist fighters and other major players in the Islamist world. This includes Al Qaeda financier and Human Concern International board member Ahmed Said Khadr from the 1980s and John (Yahya) Maguire who did a propaganda film for ISIS in 2015. Both were radicalized while associated to the Muslim Student Association at the University of Ottawa. As noted by Michelle Sheppard of the Toronto Star on her history of Omar Khadr (Ahmed’s son), the Muslim Student Association was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood.[5]
The University of Ottawa Prayer Room
The University of Ottawa should probably close its common prayer room. The Quilliam Foundation, the world’s leading de-radicalization organization, has stated that Islamist Muslims tend to try to take over common area prayer rooms and create ‘Muslim-only’ areas. Rather, these rooms should allow for other faith adherents to use these facilities.
The Quilliam Foundation also notes that university authorities should ensure prayer rooms do not become an Islamist underworld, a centre for Muslim students to withdraw between lessons and thus avoid extra-curricular interaction with other students. The result of this form of activity is that Wahhabbist and Salafist literature then tends to dominate, the ideology spreads and there is the attempted exclusion of others.[6]
At the University of Ottawa prayer room, students report that Muslim students tell them they cannot enter the room with their shoes on, even if the event is non-Muslim. They also report that they cannot find out how to book the room and their efforts are blocked.
It is not clear who controls the room. The Community Services office (3rd floor) normally controls all bookings for common rooms. They, however, appear to indicate this is the one room they do not control. Their suggestion is to go to the Student Federation, which also claims to not know. However, they suggest that the VP Social of the Student Federation (Hadi Wess) might be responsible, but that cannot be confirmed.
Of current interest, it should be noted that the same problem is occurring at Montreal’s Maisonneuve College. Students who are sympathizers of ISIS have attempted to take over some sections of the library and had done the same to the prayer room/common space, resulting in its closure. Students at Maisonneuve had reported they were afraid of Muslim students in those areas. Violence has occurred during the course of the attempted takeovers and the staff at the college fear for their safety.[7] This is occurring in Canada this year!
Other universities have already closed prayers for reasons of Islamist extremism such as the Technical University of Berlin, the Technical University of Dortmund and the University of Essen Duisburg in Germany.[8]
University of Ottawa and the Muslim Brotherhood
A number of individuals at the university have close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. While some can be found in the engineering faculty, the most interesting may be Dr. Aliaa Dakroury, who was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication from 2008 to 2012; at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication from 2005 to 2010; and Departments of Sociology and Anthropology and Law from 2008 to 2011. She is now an Associate Professor and School Director of the Social Communications Program at Saint Paul’s University in Ottawa. Dr. Dakroury is the managing editor of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS).[9]
What is not noted, however, is that the AJISS is the official journal of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). The IIIT is the think tank of the Muslim Brotherhood[10] and was created as such in 1981, ironically enough by a Canadian of Palestinian origin. Ismail al-Faruqui left Montreal Canada in about 1978 and created the IIIT in 1980. The organization was founded following an international conference of “major Muslim Brotherhood figures, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Al Qaradawi, in Lugano, Switzerland in 1977. The conference was held under the auspices of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists’, itself a spinoff of the Muslim Student Association, the Muslim Brotherhoods first public front group in North America.[11]
Dr. Faruqui was stabbed to death, along with his wife, in 1986 by Joseph L. Young (aka Yusuf Abdul Ali). The IIIT and others have attempted to pass off this murder as a Zionist or CIA plot, but the criminal investigation and trial showed that the murderer, Mr. Young, was a Black Muslim convert. He claimed, with some evidence, that he killed Faruqui and his wife due to his poor treatment within the organization, despite having converted to Islam. Racism may have been a factor.
The Closing of the Prayer Room
Should the University of Ottawa consider closing its common prayer room? Given the problems at the University of Ottawa, as well as those observed at Algonquin College, Maisonneuve College and many others, this is a question worth considering.
We see here very clearly that black lives matter Toronto’s connection with the terrorist group, the muslim brotherhood is clear and undeniable . So now, lets have a look at the faces , and names of the key people involved, with specific attention being given to the student union leaders involved .
First, we have Rejean Hoillet, the current chairmen of the Canadian Federation of Students and former President of the Ryerson Student Union :
Next, we have Sandy Hudson who was the Former presidnt of the U nof T student union, former chairman of the Canadian federation of Students Ontario and former executive director of the U of T student union :
Next, we have Pascale Diverlus, one of the most racist scum bags of the bunch . She was the former VP of Equity ( yes, how ironic that one of the most racist scum bags was involved in equity . ) This is the same idiotic bimbo , who actually thought she can get the university to charge me with a hate crime after i caught on video , the student union, ballot stuffing in a student election , which they lost, and accused me of being the architect of their loss . Clearly , I played no part in their demise, although I am delighted they did loose :
Sadly, the Diverlus family spawned another equally detestable life form in Rodney , Pascales dirt bag brother . Rodney was the former President of the Ryerson Student Union , Former VP equity of same and former resident of the black students student union group . Rodney is such a contemptible twerp, that depending on what oppression card he wants to play for what ever moment he needs to , he will tell you that he is either from Haiti , or Cuba , he hates the wealthy , but he claims to have a residence in Miami AND Tampa Florida , as well as here in Toronto , as well as one in Calgary Alberta :
Next is Alexandra Williams. Yup, you guessed it, out of sheer luck , wouldn’t you know it, she too was vp of equity at York university student union ( York federation of Students , or YFS ) .
Now, lets have a look at this entire group together :
As with all racists , they often use alias’s or different names online as shown here by Alexandra Williams : aka Alexandria Symone .
Now, we need to establish , factually , what I have been saying about how YOU as students are funding this racist group, which we have established is directly connected tom the terrorist group known as the muslim brotherhood .
BLM Leader Makes Uni’s Student Union Donate Thousands To Movement
” … A Black Lives Matter Toronto founding member proposed to have a student organization donate money to the movement, leading to conflict of interest accusations.
Co-founder Alexandria Williams also serves as vice president equity for York University’s student union, reports the Toronto Sun.
York Federation of Students (YFS) made two donations to BLM for a total of $7,500. YFS advocates for the student body and tries to make student education “more accessible and affordable.”
“As long as there is injustice happening in our society, the YFS will support and stand in solidarity with all oppressed groups,” said YFS president Chenthoori Malankov to the Toronto Sun.
YFS donated $2,500, which was approved in August, 2015.Williams brought forth a motion to send letters speaking out against “police carding” to Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders and Mayor John Tory, according to the meeting’s agenda.
Police carding is a policy where police randomly stop people to get information. Ontario banned the practice in 2016.
Another member, Huda Alsarraj, proposed the group donate $2,500 to BLM because, “black people are in a state of emergency.” It is unclear if this was debated or if Williams voted in favor of it, because the meeting’s minutes have not been published.
Williams proposed YFS donate $1,000 to BLM, according to an agenda from Nov. 30, 2015. Another member said the group should donate $5,000.
When this occurred, Williams served as YFS’s vice president of campus life.
“The YFS is a democratic organization and our members have the right to put forth motions and it will be discussed,” Malankov said.
The group planned to protest the parade from the beginning, because of a “historical and current culture of anti-Blackness deeply embedded in the Festival,” Williams said at the time. … “
I cannot overstate enough how dangerous this group is . They advocate for the murder of cops, they have no issues with putting lives in danger by blockaiding traffic , they are perfectly fine with black males committing murders .. the list goes on . Rodney , the same guy who was the vp of EQUITY at the ryerson student union, , where hos job was to create an INCLUSIVE space , and dialogue for improved relations , made it very clear that we was NOT INTERESTED in any dialogue that was about including police . He openly supports violent criminals as shown in a video in part one of this series. This group , these people, NEED to be under the most intense microscope our law enforcement and security service agencies have .
Meow everyone. Yes, you read that title correctly. I know its hard to imagine , hard to believe, but stick around. I will show you in methodical and nausiating detail exactly who and how this is funded . You will only have to look at university student unions that are affiliated with the Canadian Federation of Students ( CFS ) .
If you or any member of you family attend either Ryerson University , York University or University of Toronto , you are automatically paying a portion of your tuition fees to student union of said school . This is not out of the ordinary , and these levies are basic agreements with all universities. If your university student is a CFS member, you pay even more , and do so without any choice, just be a member of this draconian organization that does absolutely NOTHING for students . Your students fees that are directed to the CFS pay their astronomical salaries and yes, you are paying them to be professional protestors , in some cases , thugs, goons and rioters. Anyone who remembers the G20 in Toronto will know that much of what went on was condoned by anarchists , and many being staged from the university of Toronto .
In this first example , you will see in this video that the speaker here, a person who is, or at that time, was the head organizer for the CFS proclaiming directly his support for a terrorist organization known as the Tamil Tigers . Here is that video :
Several years prior to this video being shot, there was a very significant Tamil protest that lasted several days and was the turning point were , we , as law abiding citizens lost our city when the political will of the then radical and brain dead city politicians would deny police the ability to keep law and order. That is a story onto itself which i will be addressing at another time . However, those original protests were also lead by radicals with the CFS affiliated universities.
If wee go back a few years to the G20 , we see CFS executive and radical student unions leaders heading the riots as seen here :
YOUR STUDENT TUITION FEES PAIDthese people to riots and destroy this city , as well , pay them to promote racism and pay them to support terrorist organizations.
Black lives matter Toronto is the latest incarnation of institutional racism that was invented and is promoted by the CFS , its executive and their affiliated radical student unions . In part 2 , I will show this very clearly. I will show where they get their funding from as well, I will show you exactly who is involved, and what capacity they hold within the radical student movement . I want to leave you with this video showing Rodney Diverlus , the former president of the Ryerson Student union , and former VP of equity of the same student union , proclaiming hos support, for a notorious , convicted, violent and dangerous criminal , Alex Hundert . Rodney Diverlus is also one of the key founders and head organizer for black lives matter Toronto :
Meow everyone. imagine holding a person hostage. Hostage meaning, holding them against their will. If you did that , went to court and were found guilty, you would be spending the next several years in a nice federally funded hotel ( crowbar hotel ) where they would feed you three times a day, you would get free orange clothing, weekly showers, , weekly phone calls , and monthly visits . Now, imagine holding an entire city hostage . What to you think you would get for that ? In a civilized world, you would never see the outside of a prison as long as you lived. However, it appears that the city of Toronto has lost its civility long ago.( I will be writing more about that in upcoming articles ) In fact, this city has made it very clear that they will REWARD those who disrupt this city .
Let us now have a closer look at exactly how black lives matter make Toronto more inclusive to help eliminate racism and discrimination :

It appears that Yusra Khogali is under investigation by police for possibly making a threat against the life of police officers . Yes, She clearly wants to improve relations doesn’t she ?
There has never been any question that Khogali is a vile racist piece of shit , as shown in some of the above screen shots … HER WORDS . However, these are NOT here only racist ramblings . Hee, below , for example is a more detailed time line of her racist rants :
” … In recent years Khogali expressed her views on white people, and the “KKK” nature of the Canadian federal government. Sheaccused the establishment and the Police of committing a deliberate “genocide” of blacks. The following are some excerpts from Khogali’s posting on Facebook:
October 17, 2015 – whiteness is not humxness. infact, white skin is sub-humxn. all phenotypes exist within the black family and white ppl are a genetic defect of blackness white ppl have a higher concentration of enzyme inhibitors that surpress melanin production. they are genetically deficient because;
melanin is present at the inception of life melanin is directly linked to fertility and the humxn reproductive system melanin is directly linked to strong bones melanin is directly linked to the strength of the nervous system melanin is directly linked to the strength of senses such as vision and hearing melanin is directly linked to the strength of neuro systems affecting capacities like intelligence, memory and creativity melanin enables black skin to capture light and hold it in its memory mode which reveals that blackness converts light into knowledge. melanin directly communicates with cosmic energy.
this is why the indegeniety of all humxnity comes from blackness. we are the first and strongest of all humxns and our genetics are the foundation of all humxnity. melanine is essential for the efficient performance of all the body natural functions.
THEREFORE white ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual. white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.
it is why white supremacy as an imperial system thrives. it tries to control, surpresses and destroy our existence in blackness because we are a threat to the genetic anhilation of white ppl.
do you ever wonder how black ppl after centuries of colonial violence, genocide and destruction – no matter wnai systems creates to make us extinct ..now we Keep
coming back? it is because we are superhumxns.
(Note: Yusra Khogali did not respond to CIJnews question whether she still stand by her post).
November 11, 2015 – “The kkkanadian government deliberately works to criminalize black ppl for the white supremacist conditions they have created to deplete our health in totality and corrode the quality of our lives with so many barriers against our survival to an impossible standard of living. It’s almost like dying while trying to breathe. And then… find a way to tell a narrative of victim blaming us while essentially killing us as OUR problem.”
April 30, 2015– “CANADA HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST PRISON POPULATIONS IN THE WORLD! THE WAR ON DRUGS AND INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE PRISON CORPORATIONS CREATES A DEMAND THAT TARGETS BLACK AND INDIGENOUS BODIES TO FILL THOSE PRISONS. It’s fucking simple. STOP CARDING. STOP TAVIS. STOP RACIST STATE SANCTIONED VIOLENCE… KKKANADA to AMERIKKKA the system is the same and viciously persists.”
December 8, 2014 – “Toronto let’s speak on our stories of anti black violence. Our struggles should never be silenced so KKKanada can maintain it’s innocence. The very premise of this state is inherent racism – and the state sanctioned violence that systematically targets black people for existing in their black skins is real. We are not here for one event revolutions the system persists so we should constantly and persistently resist.”
August 6, 2015 – “The police BROKE this womxn’s arm… on top of that without any notice and months after being brutalized by these pigs she finds out that she has two criminal charges laid against her.”
July 24, 2015 – “BLACK PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY. I REPEAT: BLACK PEOPLE ARE LIVING. IN. A.STATE.OF.EMERGENCY. WE ARE LIVING A CONSTANT FEAR AND THREAT OF BEING PHYSICALLY EXTERMINATED FOR EXISTING IN BLACK SKIN. THIS IS GENOCIDE… THE TORONTO POLICE SERVICES IS ANTI-BLACK…. THE TORONTO POLICE ARE TERRORIZING BLACK FOLKS ON A DAILY… THE TORONTO POLICE SERVICES ARE A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. THATS REAL… WE PAY THESE MUTHERFUCKERS.”
May 21, 2015– “The state is waging a genocide on black womxn and girls. If they are not murdering us on the street, raping us, pushing us further into poverty and then criminalizing us, they are fetishizing us. Appropriating us, stealing from us, exploiting our labour our culture, our music, our bodies our lingo our swag our knowledge and intellect, our essence our BEING, viciously abusing us in totality in every means possible. Black womxn are NOT an add on in resisting racist violence by the state understanding their positionally is CENTRAL in dismantling it.”
December 22, 2015 – “Black womxn and girls not exceptional victims of anti-black state sanctioned violence and injustice in their murders …they are perpetual victims. the compounded violence that is everyday lived experience of violence that goes lethal too often by police. the vicious trauma and psychic violence experienced for existing in their bodies in the presence of police because of how often we die by their guns …. this is what it means to be living under seige – under white supremacist terrorism.”
June 17, 2014 – “Black patriarchy is validated as authentic in the paradigm and gaze of white supremacist patriarchy through the dehumanization and disrespect of black womyn and the sexual domination of white womyn.”
December 30, 2015 – “black babies will never be afforded the innocence of childhood… black youth are forced to grow up under white supremacist terrorism… they will be demonized, criminalized, lethally brutalized with the intensity of harsh anti-black violence like they are adults… how many black children have their murderers walk free. walk back into their homes… as killers… no one will weep. no one will see that black babies blood oil the cogwheels of this system.”
June 7, 2014 – “Derailing black feminine rage as irrational/primitive is an anti-black racist patriarchal construct… Constructive rage is a powerful tool in creating movements of resistance and social change that interrupts and resists reductionist ideas of intersectional racial inferiority.”
March 31, 2016– “If ur a black photographer and are available tonight from 7-10pm we need you at #blmtotentcity for something dope. Plz pm me for details n share this if u know someone!”
On August 24, 2016, Yusra Khogali and Alexandria Williams, co-founders of Black Lives Matter – Toronto, lead a protest in front of the offices of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) in Mississauga, Ontario, against systematic oppression of black people by the authorities.
Khogali and Williams emphasized the black people’s duty to fight back against the attack on their bodies in order to achieve the coveted “Black freedom” in Canada . … ”
Yup , we see clearly that this racist scum bag really really really want inclusivity for all .
What? You want more ?
Yup, very inclusive and most certain a great way to help foster good community relations. So, to the city of Toronto , what the hell was going through your collective brains in giving these low brow racists an award … in the name of the city ?????? Or, did these terrorist supporting, cop killing advocates hold you hostage as well, demanding that you either legitimize their movement or face a race war you are ill-prepared to fight ????
If there was , or is any clear and definitive indication , that black lives matter Toronto wants and is fully supportive of the use of violence , one needs to look no farther then THEIR OWN website , were , this wonderfully put piece of evidence of their willingness, supporting and advocacy of violence cannot be more clear :
One of their founders and brain dead idiots is a guy named Rodney Diverlus. He stated way back about a year and a half ago , when there was the first black lives matters Toronto protest , that we was doing to delete any conversations that offered opinions other than his own and other like minded opinions . He made it very clear that he , speaking for the organization , was not interested in any discussions that offered other points of view. So, My question is , how does this somehow create racial inclusion , as suggested in the city of Toronto’s web site pertaining to this award event ?
So, the members of Toronto city counsel who support this abomination of a group of retards and racist scum bags , here, is just a small sampling of exactly what you support . This is diversity , the help this group provides to eliminate discrimination :
Black lives matters is not only a pathetic racis group, as well a group that is connected to the muslim brotherhood terrorist organization, but as well , black lives matters by their very existence , PROMOTE and ENCOURAGE crime . Hereis what was saaid of this group by the former head of Chicago’s police force :
Former Chicago top cop: Black Lives Matter killing blacks
” … Former Chicago Superintendent of Police Garry McCarthy said Sunday that the Black Lives Matter movement was ultimately responsible for rising crimes rates in his city and nationally because it was making it harder for police to do their jobs.
McCarthy said that the movement was responsible for a rise in “noncompliance” — people refusing to cooperate or surrender to police.
“What is happening is — and this is ironic — that a movement with the goal of saving black lives is at this point is getting black lives taken because 80 percent of our murder victims here in Chicago are male blacks,” McCarthy told New York radio talk show host John Catsimatidis.
McCarthy was superintendent at the time of the 2014 death of Laquan McDonald, a 17 year-old who was shot by police. Dashboard camera footage of McDonald’s death contradicted the officers’ accounts of the incident, which contended that McDonald had come at them with a knife. The resulting protests after the footage was released helped to fuel the then-growing Black Lives Matter movement. An officer in the shooting has been charged with murder. McCarthy was fired by Mayor Rahm Emanuel earlier this year.
Crime has soared in Chicago in the last year, with 3,500 reported shootings in the city and the murder rate topping 750. That is the highest number in two decades and a 58 percent increase over the previous year.
McCarthy said that there was a direct connection between that rising crime rate and the movement. “There has been a political atmosphere of anti-police sentiment that has swept across this country over the last few years. The simplest way to describe it is that we have created an environment where we have emboldened criminals and we are hamstringing the police. That is creating a state of lawlessness.”
He added that this was leading to an increase in shootings of police officers as well.
He argued that the movement was encouraging “young people not to comply with police and legitimizing that non-compliance.”
McCarthy was careful to say that there have been cases where police were responsible for unwarranted and tragic shootings in Chicago and elsewhere. Cops have to do a better job, he said. But he argued that the reaction to those cases should not be what drives law enforcement policy. “Less than half of one percent of all of the shootings in this city [involve] police officers shooting civilians,” he said. … “
There you have it , so this group , along with I state they already are above, can add a crime wave to their list of accomplishments .
Meow everyone . Last weekend there was a protest in Toronto with respects to a pipeline being built in the USA . These ” protestors ” claimed to be peaceful protestors . One such professional protestor is a guy named John Fox . He will protest pretty much anything, try and bait police into arresting , then, he will claim police brutality . John fails to realize that there were many cameras at this event, mine included. While John may have delusions of events that never actually took place, in fact, the reality , as the video will conclusively show, tells a vastly different story. Here is an example of his tactics :
Here he claims that the police man handled him . The image he provides as part of his post certainly would make it appear that indeed , this is what took place.HOWEVER, John, there where several cameras present, including mine, who shot the ENTIRE video of this ” manhandling : you lay claim to. The cameras dont lie John, even if you do , as seen here in this video of John Fox Sr. a professional protestor who is clearly seen trying to attack police , NOT the other way around :
Earlier in the same week, another group of the same type of professional protestors decided to invade a bank with some moronic demands . No professional protest is complete without a human shield as seen here :
…and naturally, a professional protest needs the ” heavenly intervention ” card being played :
I wonder if they get a bulk purchase discount on locks :
Meow everyone. A few weeks ago, I posted a short note that I was ( and am continuing to ) work on a huge story about the G20 that took place back in the summer of 2010 . I know , myself included, have , still , a lot of unanswered questions about what took place , and why ? However, what if I told you that this may have been a part of a far bigger, more sinister plan , and WE were to the one who were about to make this plan come to fruition.
Yes this does sound crazy, however, I had a great discussion with my very good friend Greg of https://kitty.protestnerd.com , and after several hours of discussing this and other related, and similar events, I have to conclude that he is absolutely correct in his observation . We lost this city during that famous Tamil protest which closed a major expressway in Toronto for days, with the police doing nothing about it … THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN . , We had the G20 riots , the police seemingly allowed this to go ahead , we had the occupy movement which created a serious and dangerous environment, and again, the police did nothing to stop it . We had the OCAP city hall riot, and again, very little police resistance . There was Idle no more and again in nothing . Today we have black lives mater and again, zero resistance .
I have spoken with officer after officer , and they all related very similar stories about how they were rendered ineffective by command and politicians who had their own agendas . So, were is my story ? Well, this is all part of the story I am digging deeply into . However, after speaking with Greg, I have to write this from a much different angle , because the reasoning is far greater than what i had originally considered . Each of the above mentioned events ,were on their own big and could have been shut down quickly , but was not. I now believe that all of these events were and are indeed connected to a much great , much more dangerous plan . People , we are in deep trouble if this is allowed to become reality .
What was it that Greg said that made me refocus this single focused story anyway ? Greg mentioned ” Transformative Change ” . I am not going to get to deep into that because that is a story Greg is working on and he should be the one to post it first, since it is his idea and theory . I do, however, agree with him. Another good friend of mine , Lawrence McCurry mentioned , years ago , about the formation of a one world government . They may both be on to something big here , and they saw this before I did .
Meow everyone. In my last article, i discussed the numerous flaws in the argument of having fewer cops and stations while the city growing a huge rate, quickly. i argued my case with former deputy Toronto Police Chief Sloly. I sent him a twitter feed message with the article and invited him to comment further , and specifically, attempt to debunk my reasoning for more cops . Sadly, to this date, no such communication has transpired . While I am not going to jump to any conclusions as to why , I would hope the if the deputy chief indeed did read the article, it may be possible the he may have agreed with my points , or at least some of them….. but without his input, I guess I will never know .
What I do know, what the rest of Canada knows is that between the time I wrote the last article , and this one, Police, In fact American Law enforcement agency the FBI alerted our own RCMP as to the very high degree of PROBABILITY of a significant terrorist attach , against the transit system right here in Toronto . Why did an American agency have this information before our own cops had it ? The answer leads back to my previous articlel where I strongly suggest the need for MORE police , especially in highly specialized areas such as intelligence . Here is the guy who was ready to kills many people. His name was Aaron Driver :
This worthless piece of shit, was killed by police as he was about to enact his terrorist plot . When confronted by police in a taxi cab, he detonated a bomb inside the cab :
This, is what was to happen in a major transit hub of this city. Yet, some, like Deputy Sloly seem to suggest the fewer cops make good economic sense . Sorry , but live are very literally at stake . Live lost means economic disaster .
This worthless piece of shit was in southern Ontario when police stopped his attack . Police NEED to check his connections to the various anarchist movements on London, Toronto and Montreal . I suspect that he was involved with them, at least at some point in time. There has also been some suggestion that he was targeting a London Ontario Area military recruiting center .
Terrorists will continue to target us and if we dont have more cops in intelligence and on the ground, some will make good on their plans. WE NEED MORE COPS NOW. Just for the record, Toronto has the FEWEST cops per capita :
Meow everyone. Yesterday, the larges t mass shooting in the history of the USA occurred in Florida . This shooting was carried our in the name of ISIS, the international terrorist organization bent on destroying the west and anything that has anything to do with western culture. The terrorist killed at least 50 innocent people who where enjoying a night out in a local bar which has been identified a a well known and well respected gay bar . We have all heard about and seen images of how islam treats person who identify as being gay so i am not going to re-post those image here. We already know how this same religion despises gay people … but wait, aren’t they, the so called , religion of peace ?
These events , do, however, need to remain in our minds , because i just a few short weeks,we here in Toronto will be host the largest gay pride parade in the world . This event is known to attract well over one million people to enjoy the fun and festivities. There is, however, a very serious problem we do have right here, in Toronto that no one is willing to address. Make no mistake, yesterdays act of terrorism was tragic beyond comprehension, however, while that gut was directly connected to and had sworn himself to ISIS , right here in Toronto, Black lives matters Toronto, is connected to another, equally dangerous terrorist organization. Black lives matter will be leading this years parade. However THIS is what black lives matters is really all about and THIS clearly shows just how connected they are to the international terrorist organization , the Muslim Brotherhood :
“Black Lives Matter” working with Islamist Group in Canada
The Muslim Students Association and “Black Lives Matter” had their display tables set side by side at the recent University of Ottawa “Islam Awareness Week.” During the full week of 07 March 2015, the two groups handed out books to students and staff at the university and spread their ideology.
The Muslim Students Association (MSA), was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood as one of its front groups with an eye towards recruitment and education.[1]
All of those from the MSA seemed to be Sunni Muslim. None were Ahmadiyya, Ismaili or Shia. An individual asked about the lack of representation of other Muslim groups stated they did not know why this was occurring.
Multiple books were handed out. One was the Qur’an in English, while two others explained that all the scientific progress in modern civilization is to be found in the Quran and the Sunnah.
The third book handed out was on ISIS and essentially tried to explain that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. When questioned, an individual at one of the booths stated that the West and the media are the ones who make a bad image of Islam. When pushed, this individual said there were no internal contradictions or problems within the faith.
The presence of a “Black Lives Matter” booth is consistent with the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood front groups in North America. Attempts by Islamist groups to exploit the black community to their advantage are not new. The most recent examples were seen in Ferguson Missouri when CAIR USA (Council on American Islamic Relations) made repeated attempts to inject itself and the Islamist ideology into events there.[2]
CAIR USA itself is a listed terrorist group in the United Arab Emirates[3]as well as being identified as a front group for HAMAS, itself a Muslim Brotherhood entity.
Ironically, the second most influential person in the Muslim Brotherhood (Sayed Qutb) spent two years in the United States and made incredibly racist statement about blacks. The most infamous one was:
Jazz – This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other. The American’s intoxication in “jazz” music does not reach its full completion until the music is accompanied by singing that is just as coarse and obnoxious as the music itself. Meanwhile, the noise of the instruments and the voices mounts, and it rings in the ears to an unbearable degree….[4]
The University of Ottawa
The University of Ottawa is famous, or perhaps infamous, for its list of alumni who have gone on to become jihadist fighters and other major players in the Islamist world. This includes Al Qaeda financier and Human Concern International board member Ahmed Said Khadr from the 1980s and John (Yahya) Maguire who did a propaganda film for ISIS in 2015. Both were radicalized while associated to the Muslim Student Association at the University of Ottawa. As noted by Michelle Sheppard of the Toronto Star on her history of Omar Khadr (Ahmed’s son), the Muslim Student Association was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood.[5]
The University of Ottawa Prayer Room
The University of Ottawa should probably close its common prayer room. The Quilliam Foundation, the world’s leading de-radicalization organization, has stated that Islamist Muslims tend to try to take over common area prayer rooms and create ‘Muslim-only’ areas. Rather, these rooms should allow for other faith adherents to use these facilities.
The Quilliam Foundation also notes that university authorities should ensure prayer rooms do not become an Islamist underworld, a centre for Muslim students to withdraw between lessons and thus avoid extra-curricular interaction with other students. The result of this form of activity is that Wahhabbist and Salafist literature then tends to dominate, the ideology spreads and there is the attempted exclusion of others.[6]
At the University of Ottawa prayer room, students report that Muslim students tell them they cannot enter the room with their shoes on, even if the event is non-Muslim. They also report that they cannot find out how to book the room and their efforts are blocked.
It is not clear who controls the room. The Community Services office (3rd floor) normally controls all bookings for common rooms. They, however, appear to indicate this is the one room they do not control. Their suggestion is to go to the Student Federation, which also claims to not know. However, they suggest that the VP Social of the Student Federation (Hadi Wess) might be responsible, but that cannot be confirmed.
Of current interest, it should be noted that the same problem is occurring at Montreal’s Maisonneuve College. Students who are sympathizers of ISIS have attempted to take over some sections of the library and had done the same to the prayer room/common space, resulting in its closure. Students at Maisonneuve had reported they were afraid of Muslim students in those areas. Violence has occurred during the course of the attempted takeovers and the staff at the college fear for their safety.[7] This is occurring in Canada this year!
Other universities have already closed prayers for reasons of Islamist extremism such as the Technical University of Berlin, the Technical University of Dortmund and the University of Essen Duisburg in Germany.[8]
University of Ottawa and the Muslim Brotherhood
A number of individuals at the university have close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. While some can be found in the engineering faculty, the most interesting may be Dr. Aliaa Dakroury, who was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication from 2008 to 2012; at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication from 2005 to 2010; and Departments of Sociology and Anthropology and Law from 2008 to 2011. She is now an Associate Professor and School Director of the Social Communications Program at Saint Paul’s University in Ottawa. Dr. Dakroury is the managing editor of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS).[9]
What is not noted, however, is that the AJISS is the official journal of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). The IIIT is the think tank of the Muslim Brotherhood[10] and was created as such in 1981, ironically enough by a Canadian of Palestinian origin. Ismail al-Faruqui left Montreal Canada in about 1978 and created the IIIT in 1980. The organization was founded following an international conference of “major Muslim Brotherhood figures, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Al Qaradawi, in Lugano, Switzerland in 1977. The conference was held under the auspices of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists’, itself a spinoff of the Muslim Student Association, the Muslim Brotherhoods first public front group in North America.[11]
Dr. Faruqui was stabbed to death, along with his wife, in 1986 by Joseph L. Young (aka Yusuf Abdul Ali). The IIIT and others have attempted to pass off this murder as a Zionist or CIA plot, but the criminal investigation and trial showed that the murderer, Mr. Young, was a Black Muslim convert. He claimed, with some evidence, that he killed Faruqui and his wife due to his poor treatment within the organization, despite having converted to Islam. Racism may have been a factor.
The Closing of the Prayer Room
Should the University of Ottawa consider closing its common prayer room? Given the problems at the University of Ottawa, as well as those observed at Algonquin College, Maisonneuve College and many others, this is a question worth considering.
We need to wake up and realize that these groups are there for one thing and one thing only : to destroy us, our way of life, our freedoms, our liberties. If the events in Florida were sad and disgraceful, which they were, we must learn from this and become PROACTIVE . This cancer must be stopped. We need to give our security services, our law enforcement agencies the tools and the powers to act to eradicate these terrorist once and for all .. because , one day, soon, these terrorists will try to do that with us . I HIGHLY encourage everyone that if you see, hear of or know of anyone who acts, suspiciously , call the police. Welcome to 2016 ….
Meow everyone. The last time I posted an article , it was about the black lives matter movement and how they love to with hold KEY facts in order to try and garner sympathy for their pathetic movement. So far, they have defended a murdering , drug dealing woman beating scum bag in Jermain Carby, as well as some nut case who thought that running towards a cop with a hammer was the smartest thing to do. Sadly, both here shot by police after they made real, serious threats towards police with weapons , and were in the process of actively engaging with police .
I have shown the sheer stupidity of this organization through two videos here :
, and here :
I have shown you in previous articles just how openly racist this group is , and to what levels they will go to, to showcase their blatant racism . I have stated that it was not a stretch to compare , at least one of the head organizers and founders of this organization to that of Nazi German y in the 1940’s with her rants that mirror that of Adolf Hitler and Josef Mengele . I am of course referring to Yusra Khogali as seen here :
She has forever gained a place in history as the racist scum bag she shall be known for , with utterings such as these :
While the above is contemptible enough in its own right , our resident nazi has, seemingly, found yet a new way to stir the pot and create a new set of ” victims ” for her personal race war . While this story is still developing, it does not bode well for her. Indeed, after this , I hope that the police and other security agencies will take a good long, hard look at this pathetic little twit .
Yesterday, I came a a twitter feed post related to the TTC, Toronto Tr4ansit Commission . The post was about how one member of the black lives matter Toronto organization was counseling people to commit a crime by not paying their transit ride fare :
In Toronto, fare evasion is a criminal offense , as well, the transit commission loses millions of dollars every year to this crime, resulting in higher fares for everyone else . Since at this point, it seemed vague as to who this person was from black lives matters who was observed in this act of counseling to commit an offense under the criminal code , I made some further enquiries to learn the identity of this criminal :
It didn’t take long to get a reply back with the identity of the person in question :
As I said, this story is still developing and I hope to get a few more answers , with additional information and clarity. However, it very much appears to me that our nazi fiend, Yusra is now for ways to have some sort of violent confrontation with police, by encouraging her ilk to evade transit fares , thus getting arrested. She is looking to create MORE victims for her pathetic cause , and point the finger at the cops for enforcing the laws ….. the same laws she has just counseled her flock to break ….. I will update as new information comes forth ….
Meow everyone. My regular readers are all too aware of the actions of the left wing radicals , and what they stand for. They will tell you that they are radical in order to somehow change the system , make things better, so on and so forth. If you have read my articles in here, I have always stated that nothing could be farther from the truth. I have stated ad nauseum that these radicals are nothing but a bunch of self centered, self entitled idiots who think of themselves as being oh so important . However, now, right here, you will in the words of one these left wing radicals, that their radicialism is exactly what I have always stated is was, Further, this left wing radical will tell you, in her own words, just how dangerous they really are . Behold, the confession of a radical. I will add my comments under each section individually as they apply .
The below article is sourced from here , here , and lastly, the original articles from here .
” … I’ve been involved in activism since the Occupy Movement of 2011. Over the years this has included anti-capitalist, labour and feminist organising, as well as coordinating a local Food Not Bombs chapter, a number of direct actions against big oil (in solidarity with First Nations people), and prisoner justice campaigns.
While I will always be part of the movement and believe in creating a better world through people power, over the years I have become increasingly frustrated with modern activist culture and the way that today’s left conducts itself.
First of all, I’m tired of watching people turn into pretentious assholes who think their activism makes them better than everyone else, even the oppressed and marginalised groups with whom they claim “allyship”.
I can think of no better examples that these so called leaders or facilitators of the occupy movement who thought they were so far above the rest of the people they they preyed upon and exploited their leadership positions to get what THEY wanted . I can also think of none better examples of these ” pretentious assholes ” with some of the most vile people such as Sakura Saunders , Sid Ryan , Judy Rebbick, Pam Palmateer, Clayton Thomas Muller, Amanda Lickers , Tracie Parks , Alex Hundert and their ilk.
” … If you’ve ever worked with oppressed groups, such as people who are homeless, abused, addicted or suffering from mental health problems, there’s one thing you learn straight away. They usually don’t frame their worldviews in terms of academic theories students learn in gender studies classes in university. For the most part, they tend to not analyse their experiences in terms of systemic power and privilege, concepts such as “the patriarchy”, “white privilege”, or “heteronormativity”. … ”
There is good reason as to why the above mentioned do ” not analyse their experiences in terms of systemic power and privilege, concepts such as “the patriarchy”, “white privilege”, or “heteronormativity”. It is simply because these concepts were CREATED by these ” pretentious assholes ” in order to justify THEIR actions and agendas and to use these people as pawns for their agendas . The black lives matter flavor of the month protest movement is a great example of these idiots creating these so called class struggles to create a race war. Here are some examples of how black lives matters CREATES a struggle that did not previously exist, then escalate it to become violent, only then, to blame to other side for the violence THEY ( the black live matter protest movement ) created.
So, my question to the black lives matter protesters …. if you want allies , why are you wanting to murder those who would or could become allies ? Of course I don’t expect any answers because these ” pretentious assholes ” are they to cry foul , oppression and all the usual buzz words for the cameras , but in reality , THEY are the architects of their own violence. The screen shots don’t lie.
Professional protesters make claims to wanting allies , often. Its pretty standard practice, a well scripted , somewhat boring call out. However, in fact, they DON’T want allies, they DO want only like minded minions who don’t, or wont think and reason / rationalize things for themselves. Its far too much work to convert a prospective ally than it is to take a willing , mindless drone , and when the time is right, throw them under the proverbial bus. Rodney Diverlus is a textbook example of such a person , a KEY founder and organizer of the black lives matters movement. Here , he CLEARLY shows that he doesn’t want allies, he doesn’t want reasonable thinking, he doesn’t want to hear both side of a story. Indeed, he is ONLY interested in hearing what HIS narrative is . Other voices, possibly the voices of allies are NOT WANTED.
Hey, wait a minute, I though you guys at black lives matters WANTED allies . Now you’re saying that us white guys are not wanted as allies ? Oh, So then you do have a double standard , saying one thing publicly, doing the exact opposite in practice.
” … While many of these folks know that they’re directly impacted by class inequality, they don’t sit around pondering capitalism, reading Marx, or tackling the effects of “problematic behaviours”. They are not concerned with checking their privilege. No. They are busy trying to survive. Getting through the next day. Meeting their basic needs. They don’t bother with policing their language and worrying about how their words might unintentionally perpetuate certain stereotypes. They are more concerned with their voices being heard. … ”
I agree with the above statement. The people that these professional protesters are claiming to care about, in fact don’t care what these idiots think. Surviving is THE SOLE priority. Being politically correct and / or so called anti oppressive is the farthest thing from their minds. Frankly, I , as well, don’t give a rats ass about being politically correct . For me, as well as reasonably minded people, what is important, the ONLY thing that is important is the truth . If you cant handle the truth, go play in your proverbial sandbox , by yourself and your feelings wont get hurt.
” … Yet I witness so many “activists” who ignore the realities of oppression despite saying that they care about those at the bottom of society. They think that being offended by something is equal to experiencing prison time or living on the streets. They talk about listening, being humble and not having preconceptions. Yet they ignore the lived experiences of those who don’t speak or think properly in the view of university-educated social justice warriors, regardless of how much worse off they really are. … ”
The professional protesters ignore the realities of oppression because oppression and violence are KEY tools these same protesters use against those with whom they disagree with . A perfect example of this took place several years ago when my good friend Greg was physically assaulted in a public park by a group of pathetic and cowardly anarchist thugs, because they didn’t like his point of view. But wait, I thought these same people wanted allies . Please forgive me here but my immediate , admittedly hastily arrived observation would suggest that hitting someone over the head with a weapon is not likely to garner support and ally ship.
” … This isn’t to say that we should accept bigotry in any form — far from it. But I would go as far as saying that the politically correct mafia on the left perpetuates a form of bigotry on its own because it alienates and “otherises” those who do not share their ways of thinking and speaking about the world. … ”
Not only do we accept bigotry, we institutionalize it , we turn it into academic discussion, we even encourage it . The anti Israel movement within the university system is a perfect example of how much we do in fact condone and institutionalize it.
” … I’ve witnessed incidents where people have lost their jobs because of mistakes they’ve made in the eyes of left-wing activists. I’ve seen relationships and friendships destroyed. I’ve known people who have been banned from participating in certain places, and become so alienated from “the community” that they are afraid to go out in public at all. This has caused serious mental distress to people I’ve worked alongside, and has even resulted in suicide. Social “justice” indeed. … ”
To use a line right out of the George W Bush era, ” … you’re either with us, or against us … ” . With the professional protesters, this is absolutely 100% true. They will think nothing of throwing a person under the bus if that person so much as strays off THEIR intended goal, interferes with THEIR agenda or disagrees with them publicly.
” …These incidents tend to happen over allegations that rest on each person’s word. Yet only one party is allowed to tell their story, while the other one is told to sit down, shut up, and accept the potentially life-destroying consequences. And if anyone tries to step in or question how things are being done, they are immediately silenced and threatened with the same fate if they don’t comply. … ”
The word of a person who makes these allegations is already in question since that person has an already skewed view of the person they intend to try and destroy. They have tried, many times on me as well, but they get laughed at each time . facts to these people are meaningless because those facts always oppose THEIR narrative they want to convey. To them, fact simply get in the way of a good smear campaign. Only the most resilient person usually survives.
” … I’m sick of the cliques, the hierarchies, the policing of others, and the power imbalances. I am exhausted by the fact that any difference of opinion will lead to a fight, which sometimes includes abandonment of certain people who are consequently deemed “unsafe”. … ”
These power imbalances are there by design to create the ” us vs them ” mentality . Occupy was the prime example of this with these leaders / facilitators . They thought they were better than everyone else, while trying to play the ” oh we are just like you ” game. The pressed jeans, Rolex watches, free trips, new laptops, Iphones , cash payments and suites at the Sheraton Hotel proved otherwise .
” … It’s disgusting that the left claims to be fighting for a better way of dealing with social problems, but if a person makes a mistake or says something wrong, they are not even given a chance to explain their side of what happened. This is because the process of conflict resolution is now driven by ideology rather than a willingness to understand facts. In today’s activist circles one is lucky to be given any sort of due process at all. Meanwhile, everyone is put under social pressure to believe everything they are told, regardless of what actually occurred in a given situation…. ”
The left are creating the problem they want, then miraculously find the solution they also want . The left create the conflicts , vilify those who ask the tough questions that these radicals don’t want answers generally known . Due process is non-existant, is a fallacy , a term used only when around media in order to appear publicly as receptive to new , alternative ideas, when in front of the cameras. In reality, one is guilty and has NO CHANCE of being proven innocent. This should sound familiar to most of us, this is the legal system in islamic countries and communist countries .
” … This is not freedom. This is not social justice. There is nothing “progressive” or “radical” about it. … ”
This is by design, purpose built this way to silence any possible chance of dissent .
” … There is a disturbing trend on the left nowadays of rejecting free speech that could possibly be hurtful to someone, somewhere. This is not only dangerous but it also works against us. As leftists we are often labelled as threats by the state and at the very least, we are unpopular by society in general.
Does this not mean that freedom of thought and expression are crucial to our struggles? That we should always defend our right to question what we’re taught, our right to be different? As Noam Chomsky put it: “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
We have the right to challenge other people’s speech, but what many people are seeing is the shutting off of dialogue entirely for the purpose of “safety”. What could possibly be safe about censorship? What could possibly be safe about a group of people who claim to be freedom fighters dictating who can speak and what can be said, based on whether or not we agree with them? Study any kind of history and you will find that censorship has never been on the right side of it. … ”
The radical left is not interest in free speech. They ARE ONLY interest in THEIR speech and will silence, or at least try to silence, any one has an opinion that is not in line with their own, using any and every means possible. Violence is not a deterrent to them. Indeed, they will resort to it when looking to try and make a example of someone they are greatly opposed to . The higher the profile of the person they wish to silence, the more extreme the method they will use to enact this silence.
” … The world is not a safe place. It is extremely dangerous, flawed, full of bloodshed and corruption. By sheltering ourselves from its harshness we are doing nothing meaningful to change it. If we are serious about confronting power we must throw ourselves into the danger that so many people have no choice but to live with. While self-care is necessary to sustain us in the long run, avoiding the darkness entirely is nothing more than a cop out.
So folks on the left – do the world a favour and get serious about changing the world. And enough with the safe spaces and trigger warnings. I used to love the idea of safe spaces, but eventually realised that they did not protect me from humanity’s flaws. Escapism is necessary once in a while, but if we are serious we need to avoid hiding behind ourselves. It is extremely naive to think that we can just walk into a room, declare it a safe space, and expect it to magically become one. Unless you and your safe space enforcing friends plan on isolating yourselves from the world rather than engaging with it, it is not realistic at all and pretending it is will only hurt you further. … ”
The ONLY safe space is the one YOU create for yourself . If you rely on someone else to create a space for you, you may just find yourself disappointed to learn that in fact, the so called safe they created is really for THEM , and is likely to EXCLUDE you ….. by design. If YOU need a safe space , you have now shown weakness in the eyes of these professional protesters , therefore, you are now weak enough to be swayed into alternative points of view .. something the radical left cant have. You are now, therefore , expendable and can expect to be thrown under the proverbial bus.
” … As for trigger warnings, as a rape survivor and someone who deals with PTSD, how is writing something like “TW: Rape” not inherently triggering? I simply don’t get it. Anything can be triggering to someone, and there is no way of knowing what that will be. Personally, I think we are better off working out how to support someone who becomes triggered in a given situation rather than triggering them ourselves in an attempt not to.
Our ideas cannot be forced on other people, but must be adopted voluntarily. This requires patience and a willingness to work with others as they explore themselves. We need to be there to answer their questions, and make it clear that no question is a stupid one. … ”
Trigger warnings are there , used by these protesters as a means of controlling one, making sure they tow the party line. Your feelings and experiences mean NOTHING to them , indeed, they are there to be exploited.
” … We are not always going to enjoy the process! But without freedom of thought, speech, and expression, no other freedom can exist. Bigots and hateful people in general will make fools of themselves, and again, our freedom to speak means that we can and definitely should challenge and outsmart them. But the idea of being so self-righteous that we think we deserve to be authority figures in all of this is soul-crushing. … “
For the radical left, there is no such thing as freedom of thought. Their thoughts are scripted by the communist party , the international socialists party, the NDP party and the unions that pay them to act on their behalf . The Occupy movement could not prove that more clearly. These self righteous minions who think they are advocates of some cause, have no concept on how to actually , successfully advocate, because they are too busy acting as school yard bullies against those who ask questions, or think for themselves .
This leads me to ask the question to the original author of this story as shown in green as to what motivated, what precipitated her to right this article? I ask because she is spot on with her assessment of just who these so called social justice warriors ( SJW ) are . However, as she too is one of these SJW’s ( or was one ) I am curious as to what made her change her mind . I wonder as well, will her newly discovered assessment of just who and what these people are, actually alter the way SHE will in future , approach her advocacy in what ever area she deems as important to her? I wonder as well, as to whether her shedding light on the clear hypocrisy of these SJW’s, in fact have her be put on the outside looking in?
The author of the article as depicted in green is quite a bright and intelligent lady , one with whom I have had numerous conversations with, albeit short ones, or on line. I will say that while we have , or at least had opposing views on many subjects, the one she wrote about in green is clearly one where we do find common ground an dare in agreement with each other, at least in my view.
So, now that she has written her article on the flaws of social justice warriors, will, she now turn her advocacy to changing the way the SJW’s conduct themselves ?
I want y’all with this priceless video that clearly states what most people REALLY think of these so called Social Justice Warriors . I couldn’t agree more :
Meow everyone . Imagine .. you work for a large company or organization that has a very specific mandate . You go there day after day, year after year, expecting to fulfill this mandate . Your employer is a large city police force. You are there, as a sworn officer to serve and protect the community . I spent some time, many years ago, serving in the military. I can tell you that there is no greater level of satisfaction that serving your country / community , knowing that you are doing good. You get shot at, ridiculed, insulted, treated with contempt and disrespect , yet, you go back the following day to do this all over again. If this was just some company , like millions of other companies, one would walk away after the first day, if the employee were treated the way some of our officers are treated daily by the public. Now, what if you are that same officer, wanting to accomplish the same thing, but this time, its YOUR OWN civilian overseers who are stopping you, preventing you from doing the very job you have sworn to do ? This is the VERY REAL EVERYDAY occurrence our police officers have to deal with . Further to that , What would you say if I told you that the very civilian overseers who govern and dictate policies our officers must adhere to, are in fact sitting side by side KNOWN urban terrorists and eco terrorists ? Hmm, now I have gotten your attention didn’t I ? Well, this is not a hypothetical scenario , indeed, this is VERY REAL and has taken place.
Most people of are aware, that as in the military, in the police force , a rank structure exists, that with it, carries certain duties and responsibilities . Yes, the higher one rises through the ranks, the more political the position it can, or does become . At some point, if one rises through the ranks high enough, they may wear the police uniform , however, they do very little actually policing. rather, much of the time is spent on administrative and public relations duties and engagements.
In Toronto, while the rank structure appears as the most obvious signs of leadership with the police force, the real decision making power appears to be the Toronto Police Services Board . The Toronto Police Services Board consists of 7 members composed of:
the Mayor or a Council Member as the Mayor’s designate who is appointed by City Council;
2 Council Members;
1 citizen member appointed by City Council; and
3 citizen members appointed by the Province of Ontario.
The Toronto Police Services Board’s mandate is legislated by the Police Services Act and can be summarized as the general management and setting of policing policy. Generally, the Board’s role in shaping the structure of policing is very broad, limited by legislation only in the realm of daily operations. So, as I stated above, its the board who creates the policies that our officers must adhere to .
Therein lays the first problem … you have board members making policies that THEY feel are the correct ones , however, these same board members are not out there on the streets to see what is really going on , they , by the boards own rules, can’s be out there .
Citizen members are ineligible for appointment to the Board if they fail to satisfy the eligibility requirements for appointment as set out in the City’s Public Appointments Policy.
Under the Police Services Act, persons are ineligible for appointment as members of the Board if they are:
a judge
a justice of the peace
a police officer, and
a person who practices criminal law as a defence counsel.
So, we have a board making rules and regulations but no actually, practical experience to actually see / know what is needed , what works , what will not work . Along with the civilian members on the board, the remaining members are politicians :
the Mayor or a Council Member as the Mayor’s designate who is appointed by City Council;
2 Council Members;
Once again, politicians are NOT cops out on the street. They sit in offices of meetings all day so how can they possibly have a clue as to what cops actually with daily , yet, they some how think that they are perfectly able to dictate to officers how to do their jobs and invent regulations dictating same. However, that is only the beginning. Because politicians are tied to one political party or another, they will of course dictate policy that falls within the spectrum of their own parties ideals . Former Mayor David Miller was the perfect example of what radical left leaning politicians can to to a perfectly good organization…. he destroyed the police department with his NDP brand of politics. I have always said that While Miller was our Mayor , we had an ongoing clown act in city hall. I think Crusty the Clown from the Simpsons would have made a better Mayor than the jack ass that Miller was .
After assuming office, Miller became involved in the long-standing and polarizing debates over Toronto’s police budget. Does this sound familiar ? We here today know that the radicals want to decimate the police budget as well . But wait, there is more . Miller was not in office very long but was quick to become involved in a labour dispute between the Police Services Board and the Toronto Police Association. The board, led by councillor Pam McConnell. Like Miller who was a member of the radical left NDP party , , McConnell had also maintained her membership in the NDP, however, and has become more active with the party since 2003. She has been a Miller ally since the election and was rewarded by being anointed, chair of the Toronto Police Services Board from 2004 to 2005.
McConnell is the very same useless and brain dead twit who once accused an other mayor, Rob Rod of bulldozing her to the ground during a heated session at a city council .
OK, so let me go backwards here for a little bit. I had shown about how radical left wing politicians were actively supporting other radical politicians to ensure that radical agendas were front and center. One of the names I made mention of was Olivia Chow. . Chow herself was a member of the police services board but her radical actions were made clear and was forced to resign as a result of her out right support for the terrorist activities of her friends, the people SHE allies with .
Have a look at these screen shots that show how Chow supported violent groups and their actions … WHILE SITTING ON THE POLICE SERVICES BOARD :
I have stated that the NDP is a highly radical political party and that they support criminal organizations . Here are screen shots to support this :
I have maintained on numerous occasions that OCAP is, in my opinion, a domestic terrorist organization. Well, I am clearly not the only person of this mind. Indeed heads of law enforcement feel this way as well :
So, to recap , a member of the Police Services Board is supportive of terrorists who are in the process of a terrorist act and asks cops to back off … Hmmm seems to me that she was there, using her position, to disrupt the police force , not help it .
The other person whom I made mention of as endorsing David Miller as mayor , was none other than Judy Rebbick . Rebbick love to remind those stupid enough to listen to her , how much of a shit disturbing protester she was ” back in the day ” . To my utter amazement, I cant believe that there are actually people out there who listen to her , and can do this without vomiting.
Rebbick is a professor at Ryerson University ( and not a very good one ) . She loves to give voices to convicted , violent criminals , especially those who are in fact court ordered not to make speeches or appearances. In fact, the more violent the criminal, the more of a voice she gives them. Case in point. She gave one of her long winded nausiating diatribes at Ryerson University some years where her special guest was Alex Hundert, the convicted G20 organizer who spent his prison time in solitary confinement because he was so dangerous. While he was out on bail ( I don’t know what the court was thinking at that moment ) he was ordered NOT to speak to media or make speeches of any kind. Well Rebbick, being the moron that she is , and Hundert, being the scum bag that he is, openly flaunted the law anyway.
Here is Rebbick below ( you are on your own with having to supply barf bags )
Here is the illegal speech that Rebbick knowingly allowed Hundert to make at one her events :
Have a look here and see for yourselves who were the ones who destroyed our city during the G20 .
So far, I have shown some historical evidence that radical left political influences were sitting on the Police Services Board and clearly had the intention of limiting the ability of officers from doing their duties, in one case, even wanting officer NOT to act against criminals who were throwing molitov cocktails at the Ontario Legislature building with complete disregard for those inside, or even those outside . However , the undermining , of the officers of the Toronto Police Service did not end with Chow and Company .
So far, I have shown you that politicians have meddled into the day to day activities of our officers, even going so far as to want them to NOT enforce the law, especially when the law breakers and the politicians share the exact same agendas . If that is not undermining our officers, I cant imagine what is . But wait, it gets worse … MUCH worse . Imagine having a sitting police services board member , a city counsel member who , as part of her staff, employs a convicted urban terrorist, one who is unappologetic for her actions and does not even recognize the laws of Canada. NO, IM NOT KIDDING . Now that is really over the top, but wait, it get even WORSE . Now, imagine the CHAIRMAN of the Police Services Board attending a conference and CO-speaking with not one, not even two, but THREE Terrorists. ….. One urban terrorist, and two eco-terrorists. People, I don’t make this stuff up . At this point, I am asking my readers to once again read very carefully, the graphic I posted above showing exactly who the G20 rioting organizers were , then, read the extensive list of panelists for a symposium and see you can find a match in names:
*This page will be updated frequently as new panelists confirm, so please check-in to see who we have lined up!*

Is this the sort of event that a former head of a police service should be seen and sitting along side with on a panel ?
At the heart of transformative social change and transformative justice rests a deep and abiding commitment to being in relation and acting with others equally committed to a vision of society free of traditional systems of oppression. Our being together, however, can quickly become swamped in the drama that inevitably ensues when we come together to do this work. In our zeal to rid our social contexts of external forces of oppression, we often lose sight of our own inner demons. In this presentation, I will focus on the transformative learning that such work requires. As we focus our energies and lives on the work “out there”, we must also recognize and learn from the inner demons that this work can evoke. Discerning what is “out there” and “in here” represents an important focus of transformative learning in social justice work.
Sarah Scanlon

Black lives matters is a racist group bent on creating a race war and openly advocating MURDER of white people. Is this the sort of event that a former head of a police service should be seen and sitting along side with on a panel ?
Here as seen blow, black lives matter is offering a ” reward ” of half a million dollars for the murder of a prosecutor . Is this the sort of event that a former head of a police service should be seen and sitting along side with on a panel ?

Sunny’s talk will be based on the recent report by the Centre titled: Unlocking Change: Decriminalizing Mental Health Issues in Ontario. This report chronicles how the criminal justice system has become a catchall for people whose mental health issues have gone untreated or undetected in the community. The Report calls on the province to stop relying on the justice system as a key responder to individuals who have mental health issues, and provides recommendations aimed at shifting Ontario toward prevention. Unlocking Change articulates a pressing need for a paradigm shift in Ontario toward – and investment in – proactive, preventative and inclusive approaches to mental health. A prevention-based approach would aim to help Ontarians with mental health issues beforethey become at risk – of homelessness, crisis, unemployment or conflict with the law. The talk will emphasize possible policy solutions as well as open a discussion among the panelists and attendees on promising solutions for the future.
Steve Wineman
Steve Wineman’s social change activism dates back to the 1960s. He has participated in efforts to achieve peace and disarmament, racial and gender equality, workplace democracy, and ecological sustainability. He retired at the end of 2013 after more than 30 years working in community mental health. Steve is the author of The Politics of Human Services and Power-Under: Trauma and Nonviolent Social Change.
Steve Wineman’s talk will focus on the complex, interacting dynamics of power and trauma. He will describe the continuum of objective power relations, ranging from dominance to shared power to subordination, as well as the continuum of subjective power experience ranging from full empowerment to the internalization of powerlessness that often accompanies trauma. To understand the full complexity of power, we need to recognize how the same person can be dominant on one dimension (such as class) and subordinate on another (such as gender). We also need to recognize that subjective power (or lack of power) often does not match people’s objective power positions, and that internalized powerlessness can lethally combine with objective dominance. Understanding the complexity of power dynamics, including the role of trauma, is critical to the development of effective strategies for transformative social change.

Leah Henderson
Leah is a queer-crip-femme-witch who spends a lot of time working, writing and thinking about community accountability and transformative justice. She supports and develops community accountability processes in her communities. She is a white, settler, who is a community organizer based on the stolen and colonized land of toronto, ontario, that has spent over a decade involved in struggles for justice within apartheid canada. Leah’s involvement in the environmental movement lead her to supporting Indigenous communities in the struggle for Sovereignty and Self-Determination. Leah has also been part of building communities that fight for justice for queer and trans people, women, low- income, disabled and racialized people. She has worked with groups across Turtle Island on fighting sexism, homophobia and transphobia and in solidarity with the movement for migrant justice.
And so we arrive at Ms. Henderson. She is employed at city hall, working for police services board member Shelly Carrol , yes, the same Ms Henderson who was one of the main organizers of the G20 riots , an act that several top law enforcement officials referred to as domestic terrorism. Her words to the court when she was sentenced were :
“… I stand here guilty of breaking your laws, not the laws of justice … ”
“… Ok so a bit about me. Today is not just my halfway point, but it is also the day that I became eligible for parole. I’ve waived my right to apply for parole. I’ve done this for a few reasons, one is that I feel no remorse for my organizing against the G8 & G20, and given another opportunity, I will continue to organize against them (and colonialism and capitalism more generally). The parole board looks for remorse, and for how you will not re-offend. I can only hope more of us reoffend this work more often… ”
Her full statement to the court prior to sentencing :
All you need to know about me is that I am a person of conscience, I came to this situation from a place of morality within myself, and I am a member of a community that shares that morality and a powerful vision for a future that is truly free.
I stand here guilty of breaking your laws, not the laws of justice.
The court has been told, “this prosecution is not political”, and that this has been done to protect society from danger.
The truth is this entire prosecution is born from the politics of fear. Fear of our ideas, fear of what we represent:
Freedom.
A Freedom that your jails will not confine.
I am not here for approval.
I am here because this is what stands for justice on this colonized land.
Though I stand here being judged by you, I am accountable to more, that is beyond these walls.
I am accountable to the indigenous communities whose lands we are on. To the earth who we’re daily assaulting with saws, and chemicals. To the elders in my life and to the generations yet to come.
The laws that govern our societies are not laws of community, or laws of consensus, they are laws of oppression. Laws that underpay and overwork mothers. That deport the poor and those of colour. Laws that rob Indigenous Nations of their traditions, their land, their childhoods. Laws that blame the unemployed and rewards those that get rich on their backs.
I have been deeply and profoundly affected by this process, but have not been changed by it. I have been moved by the incredible support that I have received, far beyond what I could have imagined. It has been made more clear to me through this process that this vision for the future is part of a groundswell.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me, thank you to my friends, my family and my lawyer.
I submit to your jails because today you hold many of the weapons, and many people under your spell. A day is coming when that will not be so.
A day is coming where the distorted mirror that hides the lies of capitalism and colonialism will shatter. … ”
As most of you probably know by now, I have decided to plead guilty to the charge of counseling to commit mischief. Originally, I along with 20 others was charged with four counts of conspiracy in what was called the G20 main conspiracy group.
I am writing because the past year and a half of facing these charges and living under bail conditions has meant that I have not been able to talk as openly as I would have liked. My voice has been muzzled by the state, which has served as a powerful reminder of the many voices that are muzzled by the daily colonialism, patriarchy, racism and violence of the world. While the silencing of my voice has an end date, the work to hear the chorus of our grandmothers and the Indigenous Peoples whose land we stand on is ongoing.
I never considered that the people in power would see me, my community and our values as anything other than a threat — because we are a threat. We are working to tear this system down and to make space for life-centered systems that make the 1% irrelevant. Those who benefit from the status quo have always tried to crush that.
I want to tell you that I was arrested because I am seen as a threat. I want to tell you that you might be too. I want to tell you that this is something we need to prepare for. I want to tell you that the risk of incarceration alone should not determine our organizing.
My skills and experience — as a facilitator, as a trainer, as a legal professional and as someone linking different communities and movements –were all targeted in this case, with the state trying to depict me as a “brainwasher” and as a mastermind of mayhem, violence and destruction. During the week of the G8 & G20 summits, the police targeted legal observers, street medics and independent media. It is clear that the skills that make us strong, the alternatives that reduce our reliance on their systems and prefigure a new world, are the very things that they are most afraid of.
I organize openly as an anti-colonial, anti-capitalist anarchist. My organizing is focused on movement building, and this commitment to build skill sets and support other activists is another part of why the state has targeted me. However, this attempt to deter me has failed, just as it has failed to deter thousands of others similarly facing police brutality and jail. I am strengthened in my resolve to build communities of resistance. We are building the structures of a new kind of society in the midst of the old, and we cannot do that without a commitment to skill-sharing, mutual aid and collective liberation.
Since the G8 & G20 protests, Toronto (and beyond) has witnessed a wave of repression that has seen the justice system trap people and their communities in its jaws, using all of their time and energy to survive the resource-intensive and soul-sucking legal process. The state hoped that there would be no energy left to fight against them as they cut funding to essential services, ignored self-determination, and further criminalized poor people, migrants and people of colour.
They were wrong.
The awe-inspiring and humbling surprise in all of this is that we have refused to be crushed and, in fact, we have grown in strategy, strength and numbers: in Toronto, I’ve seen the anti-austerity movements grow with campaigns like “Stop the Cuts”; in Grassy Narrows, one day of powerful mobilization forced the government to listen to the community’s demands; globally, there has been a continued, intensified uprising that is showing collective dissatisfaction with the capitalist system and austerity agenda that the G8 & G20 per-petuate.
I took this plea willingly. I consented today to confine myself to a cage, away from the people, work and struggles that I am connected to. I did this for a reason.
As a group of accused, we come to organizing with different access to power. When the 17 of us found ourselves around a table facing a trial, continued disruption of our lives and livelihoods, possible convictions, jail sentences and deportations, it became essential that some of us plead guilty to ensure that the rest walk free.
It was a decision that could not be and was not taken lightly. I was inspired, along with the rest of the 17, by a proud history of political trials, where people have chosen to plead guilty to end the legal process? if it resulted in the best possible deal for all involved.
This plea is not a defeat. I am energized. I am hopeful knowing that we have each other’s back and will take care of each other, even if it means that some of us go to jail. I am proud. I hope you are too.
I am incredibly grateful for the people in my life who have been supporting me and who will continue to do so.
To the women who have carried me through this — you are my faeries with magick wands and combat boots; you’ve granted me wishes and kicked the crap out of anything I couldn’t handle. Your care and support is revolutionary. May it become less invisible to the world.
To my family — every day I am grateful for your unconditional love and support; that I chose you when I came into this world is perhaps the greatest gift I have given to myself.
To my community — you have grown and expanded with me since my arrest; this growth is a testament to our strength.
To my sureties — you took me out into the world when no one else could; you housed me, sat on absurdly uncomfortable court benches while pregnant and while waiting to see if your own child would be released from custody.
To the assistants, receptionists, lawyers, and legal workers that represented us — thank you for your dedication and commitment.
To my friends that stayed in to keep me company, moved me, brought me comfort and, most importantly, helped me to laugh and cry and rage-craft through this — I hope that I can give half as much to you as I have received.
To my co-evils (otherwise known as co-accused):
“While I can’t have you, I long for you… I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you.” – Jeannette Winterson
I’ve missed you, friends. After all this time, my heart still beats as one with yours. But things have changed, we have grown, my heartbeat sounds different — I’m sure yours does too. Since we became wrapped up in this together, I have carried you with me everywhere I go. I’m excited to begin new relationships with you that don’t have the state stuck in between us.
Thank you for all that you have been through this process: fierce, vulnerable, honest, inspiring, loving, strong, and deeply committed to working collectively, challenging oppression and building communities of resistance.
There is a complex combination of rage and inspiration that this experience has given me that cannot be summed up in one statement, let alone a lifetime of statements, but moving forward, I am energized and filled with hope that we will continue to struggle together in creative, supportive and inspiring ways.
I would say see you in the streets, but if you know me, you know that I’m more excited to see you in a meeting.
With love, rage and solidarity, Leah

Mr. Alok Mukherjee Is this the sort of event that a former head of a police service should be seen and sitting along side with on a panel ?What kind of message are you, as head of a police service board sending to the very officers you and your board seemingly create policy for ?
I might understand attending such an event as a panelist and possibly having one questionable person as part of that panel. That might be a simple oversight . However, attending a panel along side three of the top terrorists in their field sir is, in my opinion, incompetence . One would think, and perhaps event expect that as former head of the largest law enforcement organization in the country, you would want to at least check out the back grounds of those with whom you are about to share a stage with .
Mr. Alok Mukherjee , your attendance and participation at this seminar along side these three people is , in my view, exactly the same as is the Director of the CIA or NSA where to attend a party hosted by ISIS or some other terrorist group. I doubt sir that if John Gotti the famous mobster , where to host a party or a seminar, the chief of police would sit at the table along side him as part of his panel , or attend a party know who was going to be there. So sir, I have to ask the rhetorical question of whether , during your tenure as Police Service Board Chairman , where you in fact there to undermine the efforts of officers attempts to enforce the law effectively , or , where you there to forward your own personal agenda ( if there was one ) ? I ask sir because under your tenure , you allowed the black live matter group to disrupt one of the board meetings , seemingly , freely. Under your tenure, officers were seemingly held back from stopping a major riot during the G20 that destroyed this city. I am NOT saying you were responsible for either, i just find it very odd that these events , these people you engaged with at this seminar are so closely tied together . It makes me question you leadership and soundness of judgement. Mr. Alok Mukherjee, I am not questioning your commitment to your duties, I AM questioning the soundness of your judgement with respects to whom you share a panel discussion table with … especially with even the most minimal research , you would have known who these people really are / where , and especially given your former position as head of a top law enforcement agency.
Now, lets have a look at this entire group together :
