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 . Last week, the Ontario Legislature was attacked by a group of urban terrorists . No, you likely heard about this as a protest , through the mainstream media but make no mistake , it WAS a terrorist attack. Here is a video of what took place :
So, i know what your next question is ….. Just how the hell did these terrorists manage to get onto the grounds, with a truck, stop in in the middle of a road way , exit the truck, open the rear doors, remove three large black barrels , tip one over intentionally , spilling a substance onto the ground, and there was NO SECURITY to stop any of these actions ? Why is our legislature left this insecure ?, Why is our legislature deliberately left wide open to this kind of attack, and what could have happened if this was much more serious ?
The get the answer, we need not look much farther then Syed Hussan, one of the TOP urban terrorist in the city … it was HE who planned this act, it was he who was the media spokesman for this act ….. yes, he was fully aware of this . He was no different here, in this action , then Osama Bin Laden was in the acts of terrorism he planned. Here is Syed Hussan at Queens park during this action :
There he is, in the back ground, in the blue shirt .
The last image was shot by a very pro radical photographer who is usually one with considerable inside information on who is doing what type of action . He is well embedded with this group. His name is Allan Lissner . Here is what he looks like ( wearing red shirt ) :
When Allan Lissner is at en event to photograph it, he is there, NOT by accident , but rather,he is there because he has prior knowledge of this event and exactly what is going to take place . He is the professional protesters ” GO TO GUY ” when it comes to documenting certain protests . There are others as well, and if any one wants to know who they are, they contact me via the comment section of via my blog email .
I want to go back to Syed Hussan , however. Hussan has a long history of being a serious trouble maker. He was part of the planing team that picked the targets to be destroyed during the G20 riots in 2010 as seen here ( front row, center ) :
Hussan would have been deported back to Pakistan , however, another well known anarchist, Alex Hundert , went to jail, for him , so as to avoid Hussan being convicted and subsequently deported . Hussan has on other occasions , also advocated, OPENLY , for people to commit criminal acts . Here are screens shots of him openly counseling people , to commit the crime of theft :
In this screen shot , he counseling people to commit arson :
Hussan , at Queens park, was interviewed by a local news agency , where he refused to state what the substance was. He further stated that he indeed wanted create fear in the people. If this does not constitute a meaning or definition of what terrorist is, I don’t know what would . When is his, and the rest of these obviously highly dangerous radicals free ride with the police, and law enforcement going to end ? At the rate these people are going, they WILL kill someone. Will they get a free pass then as well, under the guise of ” protest ” ? Hussan is a career criminal who openly advocates for criminal acts, and counsels people to enact these and other crimes. He is NOT a Canadian Citizen. He is here as a permanent resident only , which means he CAN be deported as a result of being a significant danger to the safety and security of this country and city. I ask the police to pick him up and turn him over to border services, with these attached screen shots as proof of his continuing danger to Canada and Toronto.
Lastly, To the security staff at the Ontario Legislature. I hope that this highly embarrassing situation is going to be used as a serious wake up call to get some real security measures in place . If these twits got in this easily and were able to execute this act, who will be the group that comes in with far more serious and destructive intentions? Come on, Y’ all have a welcome mat to these type of actions the way the security sits now for people entering the property, as clearly demonstrated by Hussan and his band of brainless bimbos.
Take a good look and learn from this :
After reading this article, I have a question to law enforcement and our countries security services. Have y’ all learned nothing from the Oklahoma city bombing ? Have you learned nothing from the first World Trade Center Bombing ? These were all carried out by , at that time, unknowns , yet look at the number of lives they destroyed and ruined . HERE , I have just shown you the face , and the act , that , i hope , refreshes your collective memories … a refreshment that, i hope will wake y’ all from the slumber of nievaty ( SP ) and press you into taking some serious , permanent action to ensure that Hussan and his ilk do not get another opportunity to enact something else, something that could have far more serious , far more destructive consequences attached to them. In a way, you have Hussan to thank for this reminder to wake up from that slumber I spoke of just above. You have , now, a choice to make . you came continue to think and remain under the illusion that we here in Canada are not the high level targets of terrorism that we see and read about, taking place in other countries, continuing to put lives at risk because y’all want to be politically correct and think that we as Canadians are a passive bunch who are kind and polite, OR, you can be proactive, join the 21 st century and admit that we are not excluded from the evils of terrorism. Hussan should be that reminder . However, if you chose to remain complacent , bury your heads in the sand and pretend that nothing is really going on here , please do me a favor, save this article, let it act as a grim reminder of what I am saying here, and at some point, when or if you ever want to ask the question of WHY something happened, re-read this, and remind yourselves that, I told you so. I am telling you that these people are highly dangerous. You can listen to me and act, or, simply ignore me , and don’t act . Sadly, however, at some point in the future, you will say to yourself that you should have listened to that undercoverkity dude, he was onto something.
A significant government site was simply driven on, no questions asked, , no stopping to inspect the vehicle, no questions the occupants as to why they are there , why they are wearing haz-mat suits . Time passed as terrorist carried out their action, and only after they enacted their action was there any reaction. This is UNACCEPTABLE
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. 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.

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 ?

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 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
Please write to me! If you don’t know what to write, send my a copy of your favourite poem(s), recipes, you really like or short stories.

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.
Meow everyone. So far in this series, I have looked at different way our university students are being radicalized , indeed, in some extreme cases, the radicalization process starting at a very early age. I focused my efforts on the university system where radical student unions and radical student organizations have free reign on these new, unsuspecting students . One organization that has clearly come up a great deal, in various capacities was / is , the Canadian Federation of Students . ( CFS ) I have shown the pictures of the main players most directly involved in the radicalization process and have made clear connections to these organizations and so called student leaders to well established terrorist organizations . However, the radicalization process has still one more very important element . This is what I will be covering in this article .
Radical student organization support, often times, financially, outside organizations which subscribe to the same radical, usually violent ideology as these student organization themselves participate in. Organizations such as the Ryerson Student Union, as one example, have several , separate , sub groups known as student groups which they ( YOU ) support through your student levies which are a FORCED part of your student fees you pay. Yes, FORCED because you don’t have a choice with respects to paying them or not. However, while you have no choice with respects to paying these fees, you also have no choices when it comes to what student groups may and do apply to get funding. While anyone can indeed create a student group , the student union alone gets to decide which of these applicants will indeed be able to become ” official ” student groups, thus receiving funding.
While this year, the Ryerson Student Union is actually being run FOR students , as they try and distance themselves from the CFS, The current student union executive are spending too much time fighting battles from other radical interests . However, to their credit, they are doing a great job given the challenges they face so my hats off to the current executive.
Ryerson University sits in an area that is home territory to OCAP, one of the countries most violent and most dangerous organizations. OVCAP has, on more than one occasion been referred to as an urban terrorist organization, a designation they truely deserve, because that is exactly what they are.
YES, even well known NDP party professional politician supports OCAP , knowing about their love of violence and rioting tactics.
Now if you dont know who this person with Chow is , perhaps you need to be paying closer attention :
Any questions so far ? Its radical politicians like Chow that our radical student unions and organizations try and gravitate towards, and Ingratiate themselves to . Oh did I forget to mention that Chow, before she took a leave of absence to get trounced during the recent federal elections, was a professor at Ryerson . Fortunately I was one of the lucky students there who never had to listen to her spew her garbage she called a lecture.
Chow, however, is not the only one who has come to Ryerson to spew their brand of garbage to unsuspecting students. No, we have had some of the most dangerous creeps in the anarchist world come and speak to students. Another well know rradical is Judy Rebbick . She love here anarchist friends , and even gave one of them some speaking time, even though this one person was prevented via court order NOT to make public appearances. Yes, I am referring to arch criminal Alex Hundert , the same Alex Hundert who was one of the key organizers of the G20 riots and went to prison for his crimes. :
Take a good look at who was speaking as well, in this video in support of Hundert .. non other than Rodeney Diverlus , the then president of the Ryerson Student Union ( RSU ) So, so far we have one very dangerous criminal at a university, ILLEGALLY , to incite students to a life of crime and violence. …. in other words, to radicalize these students.
Pay attention to this video . This shows a buck of these like minded radicals in a home environment. Notice for example, Tristan Lainge who is one of the key organizers of the anti-Israel / anti Jewish movement at York University , others are involved with the highly violent No One is Illegal movement : ( I will expand on this a bit later in this article )
Every year at the start of the school year, all the universities have their FROSH week . this usually about two weeks of events that their universities and student unions put on to introduce new students to university life, as well, to have the ” old : students get involved in this introduction process. These are usually fun weeks and the atmosphere is like one huge two week party. However, the radical student union use that second week to hold what they refer to as DIS-orientation week . This is where the radical groups are invited to come to campus and attempt to brain wash unsuspecting students into a life of crime . Over the years, we at Ryerson have had some real winners here. The A fore mentioned Alex Hundert ( although his appearance was not part of the disorientation week of events ). Lets have a look at some of the members of the rouge list of criminals who have bee invited to indoctrinate students , to help radicalize them :
Darius Mirshahi
He along with his wife Sakura Saunders go on tours across Canada , California and Australia to promote ultra radicalism
Sakura Saunders
Shee along with her husband Darius Mirshahi go on tours across Canada , California and Australia to promote ultra radicalism
Alex Blach
Ultra violent radical anarchist and member of highly radical and violent urban terrorist organization , OCAP
Ashley Ingle
Although she has not been as active in the anarchist scene of late, she has been a significant presence in the past . She brilliant , actually yes, she is a rocket scientist .
Daniel Vendervoort
He organized the G20 anarchists stay at U of T which was later raided
Sigrid Kneeve
Has no issues with violence and is an active promoter of if , as this image clearly shows. Is a member an dorganizer of the urban terrorist organization OCAP
Alex Balch ( again )
Here he is after getting arrested at Ryerson University after being on the run for an alleged serious physical assault where it was alleged that he used a weapon to assault a blogger whom he didn’t agree with . The interesting thing here is that Balch contacted me , claiming that he was in fact NOT on the run when arrested as shown , at Ryerson University, and he was , he claims , not involved in the assault. According to him, he stated that he was acquitted on the charges brought against him. The discussion with his comments ( unedited ) are in the comments section below.
***** NOTE *****
Alex Balch contacted me via the comment section which is available to be seen publicly. He claims to have had nothing to do with the attack on Greg. While Alex and I have never had any sort of conversation , I do thank him for replying and offering his version of the events in question. I thank him particularly for doing this in a polite and respectful manner . So, the question is, if Alex didn’t strike out at Greg, WHO DID? Someone out there knows . So who is going to be honest enough to come forth with the facts ?
There are others as well who play significant roles in the radicalization of students . Some of these people hold positions with certain university student organizations who’s sole purpose is to radicalize students . One clear example of this is Amanda ( Mandy ) Hiscocks ) She is another of the convicted G20 riots key organizers who spent time in prison for her role in the riots. She is nor ” employed ” at a sounther Ontario University in their OPRIG group which is the radical arm of the student unions.
Mandy Hiscocks
Lastly, there is Leah Henderson . Like her criminal counter part Mandy, she too is a convicted G20 riot organizer who spent time in prison for her role in the riots . Unlike Hiscocks, Henderson works for Toronto City Counselor Shelly Carrol, a radical politician. However, when Henderson is not working in here city hall job, she is busy radicalizing students at student conferences as seen here :
Leah Henderson.
Student radicalization is far more serious than many would think. Student , when radicalized at an early age, can often become so radicalized that they wlil go as far as to leave school entirely in pursuit of that elusive but non-existant prize they seek. What make students highly dangerous once radicalized is that they still have that sense of invincibility where they think they can do anything they want an d there will little to no consequences for their actions. However, the real consequences are DEATH and destruction to those they inflict their brand of hate and ” protest ” upon. These radical students are willing to take serious chances with no crime not being too far fetched for them to engage in. Let me leave you with one last image that clearly in the words of these radicals, shows to exactly what level these radicals will go to in order to achieve their twisted objectives :
Meow everyone. In my last article in this series, i made several references to the so called ” social justice warriors ” that have infected student unions and movements like the cancer that they are. I wanted to share a video that so perfectly explains what these so called ” social justice warriors ” are , and what they are about and full of . Here is that awesome video :
However, these so called ” social justice warriors ” are far more dangerous than even what this video depicts” Most universities who are members of the CFS also have what are called ” PRIG ” groups . University of Toronto is no exception to this, have a look at this even being hosted by U of T student unions :
In the wake of Paris, University of Toronto’s radical fanatics will gather Wednesday to support terrorists
” … With the carnage branded freshly onto our memories and the blood not yet all washed away from this week’s monstrous Paris terrorist attacks, you might imagine that a gathering in Canada to celebrate terrorists who committed similar atrocities would seem somewhat ill-timed.
Evidently, the University of Toronto Student Union’s “Social Justice and Equity Commission” disagrees with that premise.
In what might be a fertile recruiting ground for al Qaeda, this Wednesday, November 18, at University College, a radical subset of students, along with U of Toronto extremists calling themselves, “Students Against Israeli Apartheid,” are effectively having a solidarity with terrorists meeting.
Let’s leave aside for the moment the warped lie of characterizing the only country in the middle east that has free speech, respects gay rights, and enshrines enfranchisement for all its citizens regardless of race, gender, or religion as “apartheid,” though their libel is an insult to common sense.
Even more of an insult, with the echoes still ringing from the merciless mass-murders in Paris perpetrated by ISIS, is the paean to terrorism implied by the U of Toronto gathering.
The current Palestinian “rising-up” to which these student fanatics refer is, on a one-by-one, day-by-day basis, every bit as horrific,bloodthirsty, and inhuman as the Paris attacks were en mass.
Egged on by their corrupt, racist leadership that depicts Jews as “apes and pigs,” Palestinians have embarked on a new wave of brutal terror stabbing attacks against Israelis, making no distinction between civilian and soldier, child or adult, man or woman, young or old.
In case there’s any confusion over whether some of the “Solidarity with Palestine” meeting’s organizers are opposed to the lethal terrorism used by ISIS in Paris, on their“Israeli Apartheid Week- Toronto” facebook page, they make their sympathies abundantly clear. On that page, they honor one Khalil al-Wazir, a.k.a. “Abu Jihad,” as a martyr. The Toronto group’s laudatory post calls al-Wazir a “hero, a founding and central member of the Palestinian Revolution, who planned many operations against the Occupation and whose leadership helped keep together the thread of Palestinian unity during his lifetime. “
What were al Wazir’s “operations” with which the University of Toronto’s “Students Against Israeli Apartheid” and “Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid” are so enamored? Khalil al-Wazir masterminded the 1978Coastal Road Massacre, in which a civilian bus was hijacked and 38 innocent people, including 13 children, were slaughtered by Palestinian terrorists.
When we talk about the need to counter extremism and the need to de-radicalize vulnerable, impressionable youth, a lot of focus is placed on mosques and the Internet. But the other side of that equation is that most Canadian Muslims are peaceful and appalled by terrorism, and indeed the majority of terror plots in Canada have been foiled in partdue to cooperation from upstanding Canadian Muslims.
However we also seem to be working at cross-purposes with our publicly funded universities, where there are factions that takean entirely different view of terror than that held by the rest of the civilized world. … ”
” … For decades, Israel has denied Palestinians their fundamental rights of freedom, equality, and self-determination through ethnic cleansing, colonization, racial discrimination, and military occupation. Despite abundant condemnation of Israeli policies by the UN, other international bodies, and preeminent human rights organizations, the world community has failed to hold Israel accountable and enforce compliance with basic principles of law. Israel’s crimes have continued with impunity. A new generation of Palestinians is marching on the footsteps of previous generations, rising up against Israel’s brutal, decades-old system of occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have joined demonstrations taking place in dozens of cities across historic Palestine and in refugee camps in neighboring Arab countries.
On Wednesday, November 18th from 6-9 PM, we will be screening the film “Roadmap to Apartheid” which draws upon the parallels of laws and tools used by both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. The audience will see what life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Israel while gaining a deeper understanding of the conflict with the help of respected analysts on the subject. The film screening will be followed by an open discussion facilitated by members of Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA) at the University of Toronto about key themes from the film in addition to the current situation happening on the ground in Palestine.

Another area that or protest that is starting to raise the alarm bells is the new ” black live matter ” radical groups that have started to spring up. Once again, the CFS is at the forefront to organizing these protests, protest and their participants openly supporting and advocating to murdering of police officers. Ryerson univerity has one student there, in particular who made his support for killing cops very clear , and public.
To clearly show the real danger of the ” black lives matter ” movement, we need only to read THEIR OWN WORDS ( this from California )
I never thought I would be in the place I am in right now. About two months ago, I was in Oakland at a “Say Her Name” protest and was being detained by about 25 cops in riot gear. I had a text message ready to send to my lawyer that I was about to be arrested. Luckily, myself and other protesters were let go. The next day as I was in my kitchen doing dishes and I began singing the freedom song passed down to our generation by elder community activists, “Which side are you on?”. After organizing and participating in numerous protests, cries for freedom rang through my mind. However, I began to feel hopeless.
After what has felt like endless hours of Black protest and uprising throughout the United States, I felt like our progress was moving in circles. Instead of police killings decreasing in the Bay Area, I witnessed an increase in killings of Black men in Oakland. Five Black men have been executed by in OPD this summer alone. I am tired of waking up and checking twitter to see another Black body as a hashtag. Our Black Lives Matter protests have stormed the country, yet cops continue to kill us daily, and the and the judicial system continues to justify our deaths with acquittals, non-indictments and light sentences-all in the name of upholding the Constitution.
I have come to realize that the Constitution is the root of virtually all our problems in America. In order to understand the injustices against Black folks in United States, we must look back to its foundation. The U.S. is a country that was founded on slavery, genocide, rape, and white male patriarchy. The colonizers that we condemn for enslaving Afrikans and murdering indigenous peoples are the same people that produced and upheld the document we use to govern our nation to this day. Our bloodshed is rooted in this nation’s founding document, The Constitution. A body cannot be separated from its head and remain living. The Constitution and all the evil that it allows to be perpetuated are the head of White America, or more so corrupt America. Racist America. If you separate the head the racism will die.
This constitution was written for “all men to be equal”, yet these same white men who cried out for equality and freedom from persecution owned Black people as slaves and participated in calculated genocidal tactics against the Black race. In addition, only white men wrote the Constitution. A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests Black people. The Constitution was written for the ruling class of white men which constructed whiteness to be more valuable than any other race. When we discuss institutional racism, it is essential that we realize the Constitution created it.
The Constitution has created a system of governance that has been executing Black people everyday. From slavery, to sharecropping, to debt peonage, to chain gangs, to gentrification, to the for-profit prison industry that is upheld through the 13th amendment which allows for slavery if one has committed a crime. From Emmett Till, to the four little girls, to Mike Brown, to Rekia Boyd, to Maya Hall, to the Charleston nine, and to Sandra Bland. America has not protected us. On the contrary, it seeks to destroy our very own humanity. We live in a society that is not safe for us. And as the Declaration of Independence says:
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
Do we not have the right to abolish the laws that oppress us? It is time to claim the Declaration of Independence and apply it to our struggle as colonized Black people in America. The United States has declared war against us; it is time we demand a new constitution or tell America that she will get the bullet. I say this not as an act of aggression, but as an act of self-defense. I do not want violence, however, white supremacy’s bullets are killing Black people every day. If America does not protect us, then it is our human right to defend ourselves by any means necessary. It is our human right to overthrow a government that has been destructive to our people. This is why we must rise up and let all people come together and write new constitution to serve ALL people.
The idea for a new constitution is not a new idea, rather an old one that was developed by the Black Panther Party. In 1970, the Black Panther Party organized a Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention, however, after infiltration by the illegal COINTELPRO the idea never came into fruition. We must pick up where the Black Panthers left off and declare a new constitution or it will be the bullet.
If America truly wants to be a nation that values the lives of all people, it has one option, and the option is a National Constitution Convention. This is the last hope America has to become whole. If America fails to allow all people of this nation to write a new constitution, then it will be the bullet. Revolution is inevitable in a society that does not value the lives of all people.
Let the bells of freedom ring…
In struggle,
-Brotha B … “
In the next installment, i will expand upon this article . Stay tuned ……………..
Meow everyone. I my last article, I introduced you all to some methods used to radicalize the young, at an early age to certain doctrines and ideologies which are consistent with today’s brand of terrorism . Universities and in particular , radical student unions and organizations play a very significant role in targeting and training these future troublemakers . For those who have been following my blog over the many years, you will have known me to make many references to the Canadian Federation of Students , or CFS for short. in this article, I will show you how they are directly involved in the radicalization process , and who is doing the radicalizing, and how.
The radicalization begins with the first second on the campus of a CFS affiliated university . The target group are primarily first year students . The target group within this small group are students in either journalism or social work programs. These students within these area of studies have ready make , well trained , seasoned radicals already well i place to mentor these new recruits . There are well healed third and forth year students there in place to guide the new students along, as well, these programes, have some of most radicalized professors to teach these new students the ropes . Ryerson University has a plethora of these highly radical professors to pick from.
Winni Ng is a ” … Labour rights activist and scholar Winnie Ng has joined Ryerson University as the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy. The CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy is the first union-endowed chair at a Canadian university. In her role, Ng will build upon the work of inaugural chair Judy Rebick, a well-known journalist, author and activist who was first appointed in 2002. The chair’s mandate is to create a hub of interaction between social justice activists and academics at Ryerson. Ng holds a MA and PhD from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Her doctoral studies focused on re-imagining the labour movement from an anti-racism perspective. … “ ( sourced from http://www.ryerson.ca/socialjustice/about/Winnie_Ng )
While people such as Ng would most certainly not risk their well paid careers and union backing to personal engage in violent actions, the have no trouble giving speeches endorsing such actions and in some cases, even endorsing certain high profile domestic terrorists . ( more on that shortly )
Judy Rebick was ” … the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy at Ryerson University in Toronto. Judy was the founding publisher of rabble.ca, Canada’s most popular progressive online publication. She is the author of several books, the most recent of which is Transforming Power: From the Personal to the Political. You can visit her website to read her blog and learn more about the book. Judy also wrote Ten Thousand Roses: The Making of a Feminist Revolution during her time at Ryerson. Judy also co-hosts Reel Women, a movie review podcast on the rabble podcast network.
For most the 1990s, Judy was the host of a national TV show on CBC Newsworld. Previously, she was president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Canada’s largest women’s group.
Since she started in August 2002, Judy has initiated and participated in many projects, including:
Gathering of Mother Earth Protectors, a three-day sleepover at Queen’s Park in June, 2008, organized with the communities of K.I. First Nation, Ardoch First Nation, Grassy Narrows First Nation, as well as a broad cross-section of local, national, and international social justice and environmental groups. This event raised awareness among Ontario politicians, media, and public about the rights of First Nations communities to protect their land from corporations who wish to extract their natural resources, and to protest the jailing of members of these communities who blocked these corporations from their lands.
The Anti-Racism Taskforce at Ryerson University
The Toronto Social Forum, which started with a large social forum event in 2003, and continued to bring together the broader social justice community across Toronto afterwards through a large e-mail list for activist event announcements across Toronto, and by holding various report-back events with Torontonians who have visited international social forums over the years. In January of 2008, the Gindin Chair brought together many activist groups across the city for a “decentralized” World Social Forum event in Toronto here at Ryerson called “Another World is Possible: Cultures of Resistance”.
An international conference, “Building Power: Social and Political Transformations in Latin America” at Ryerson in April of 2007, with activists from all over Latin America sharing their experience at building new paths to equality and social justice with Canadian activists in a North-South dialogue.
A lecture series in October 2002 with a talk by well-known British author, political commentator and editor of Red Pepper, Hilary Wainwright on Participatory Democracy.
The Gindin Debates with a debate on copywright and the Internet in October, 2002. The debate was webcast on rabble.ca. These were debates among progressives designed to explore an issue, defining differences, but also seeking common ground…. ” ( sourced from : http://www.ryerson.ca/socialjustice/about/judy_rebick )
I mentioned above how certain so called ” activists ” , well paid , well people with the university systems actually open endorse domestic terrorists. Rebbick is , in my opinion just such a person . She had, as a guest speaker in one of her ” lectures ” a well known and highly dangerous domestic terrorist, Alex Hundert , someone who, at the time was legally forbidden to to speak at, or even attend gatherings were other like minded people would attend. Rebbick is nothing more than a loud mouthed , foul mouthed blow hart who has done nothing for decades , but uses her position and past reputation ( from decades past ) to inspire future generations to be the same blow hart neanderthal she has become. The thought of someone actually looking up to her is a sad sight in of itself .
Here is a video Of Rebbiks event at which Hundert , a convicted felon was speaking, against court ordered bail conditions :
This brazen act of openly flaunting a legal order showed the assembled that is was perfectly fine to break laws . This is a tool used by these so called ” social justice warriors ” as they call themselves to recruit new bodies into the fold. These highly dangerous criminals are placed on pedestals for the new, unsuspecting minds to soak in every word spoken. However, even before these events, the new student gets exposed , in very low keyed ways , to the ways of the radicals that openly target the new students.
Pamela Palmater is ” … a Mi’kmaq lawyer whose family originates from the Eel River Bar First Nation in northern New Brunswick. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Ryerson University. In addition to her faculty appointment as an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Dr. Palmater holds the Chair in Indigenous Governance, and is also a member of the Yeates School of Graduate Studies, affiliated with the MA program in Public Policy and Administration…. “ She has been referred to as one who was a ” … trailblazing role model for young Indigenous women, planting seeds of change that are transforming Indigenous communities across Canada … “ ( sourced from : http://www.ryerson.ca/politics/about-us/personnel/faculty/palmater-pamela.html )
The above three depicted individuals obviously do not personally enact violence themselves , but they certainly do know the ones who do . We have already shown how Judy Rebick promoted and and even supported violent and convicted anarchists such as Alex Hundert , regardless of what legal orders were in place on him. Palmater supported to goons who burned police cars in New Brunswick , and Winnie Hg supports violent unions …. all three are : socialists ( communists ) What makes them dangerous is that they are in a position where they use academia to give an aura of legitimacy to what they believe in / their brand of so called activism . They use this to slowly shape young unsuspecting minds early on as to what is , in THEIR view, legitimate . They can teach hate , without calling it hate . They can teach how to avoid those who ask the ” wrong ” questions and thus, label them as ” troublemakers to the cause ” . Judy Rebick and Winnie Ng by their support for the occupy Toronto movement did a masterful job at this by their support for a totally illegal action and lending her name as a high profile supporter.
York university has its very own high profile supporter of the most violent of organization, OCAP . In fact she is not only an organizer with them, she is also married to another even higher profile organizer . I am referring to York University sociology professor Lesley Wood .
Lesley Wood ( above is the partner of the highly radicalized OCAP and No One is Illegal organizer MacDonald Scott ( below ) . Scott is a huge supporter of violence and is a highly respected anarchist within that community.
Orientation week at CFS affiliated universities has NOTHING to do with orienting the student to the university. It DOES, however, have everything to do with the well placed radicals who run the student unions, to bring these new students ” into the fold ” . These new students are, in many cases, away from home for the first time ever, are looking to make new friends and to find a way to fit in. Along comes the radical student union, and their leaders . who offer these new unsuspecting students exactly what they are looking for. Within this orientation week of activities, is a week dedicated to DIS-orientation . this is a stand alone week just for radicals , and radicals in the making. This is a week where the radical campus groups are introduced to the students, with high emphasis placed on supporting these groups. Withing these groups are organizations such as anarchist groups and of course OCAP . For those who need a reminder of what OCAP is about , here are some videos that show case the level of urban terrorism they openly advocate and engage in :
It goes downhill from here . This next video, while shot outside Canada, shows clearly what these so called ” social justice warriors ” are actively, openly advocating .
I have posted this video here to show exactly what is really being supported by the radical student unions . Of late ( meaning , over the past few years ) , there has been an even increasing , and escalating series of attacks against Israel , however, these attacks where also attacks of Jewish students here, through various protests and actions.
The issue around Israel may be polarizing, but one thing is very clear. Israel has the right to defend herself in the face of blatant terrorist attacks against the Jewish people there, daily . The video I posted above shows clearly how random these anti Jewish attacks are , as well, are directed at anyone who is Jewish. Here is an example of an incident that took place in 2009 at the University of Toronto, another very pro CFS run student union : ( sourced from : http://thentherewaslight.com/547_statemen-student-assaulted-at-u-of-t )
A few people have asked me this morning about what happened last night at UofT. I attended the Israel Apartheid Week event with a few friends and was prepared to ask a couple questions. The girl sitting next to me asked a question to one of the speakers about the problems with Hamas’s Charter. The speaker answered the question by discussing occupation and Israel’s “racist” policies, etc, instead of actually addressing the issue of Hamas’s Charter and denial of Israel’s right to exist. A couple people in the crowd, including myself, shouted out to the speaker “answer the question!” (It is generally fair game at these events where there are more activists present than observers to request that the speaker focus on the question asked). At this point, one of the (probably unlicensed) private security guards hired by SAIA approached me from behind. When I turned around in my seat to look at him, he grabbed and squeezed the back of my neck and growled at me from about 10 inches in front of my face “you shut the fuck up! shut the fuck up!” At this point I kept my cool moved back and I was like “get away from me bro, don’t touch me!” One of the event organizers called for someone to ask the police standing outside in the hallway to come in to remove me for “causing a disruption” at which point I encouraged the police to come in to record the name and identity of the individual who assaulted me. I left the room promptly and reported the incident to the police. I will be filing a formal report later today with Metro Police.
I personally believe in freedom of speech and that students should be allowed to book lecture halls to present speakers who express radical, even extreme views. The presence, however, of (probably) unlicensed, private security gaurds wearing bullet proof vests and leather jackets who physicaly assault people who speak up against those radical, extreme views, must be confronted. SAIA must not be allowed to bring hired goons onto campus to intimidate people who oppose their views. I feel ashamed as a UofT alumnus.
Tonight at the U of T [Israeli Apartheid Week] event,
two Jewish students were assaulted by the Palestinian “Security” team
for being “disruptive” (asking a legitimate question “does Israel have
a right to exist”) The Palestinian “security” smacked a student in the
head and grabbed him by his neck, while another “security” officer told
a second Jewish student to “Shut the F**ck up or he’ll saw his head
off”…All of this was done in a crowded lecture room with over 100
witnesses!!
I was there, there are no pictures, filming and taking pictures was prohibited (they seem to have a problem with the general public hearing what they say) it was reported to the police who chose (as usual) to do NOTHING…
Atlas has the full story from a courageous student who was there. Here are some images from last night. I will not run the name of the student reporter. I don’t want them to get their skull cracked by the adherents of the religion of peace.
While last night had higher profile anti-Zionists and anti-Semites, what with Naomi Klein and Sid Ryan, tonight had greater righteous indignation of the “oppressed Fakestinians”.
Notably, with Jews visible in the audience, the audience was repeatedly told from the dias that no photography or recording of any type was allowed by anyone without “media clearance”.
On a number of occasions organizers tried to force me to depart with my camera, though I had not taken even one shot. i told them that when everyone with a cell-phone leaves or gives up their phone i will give up my camera too.
Later, during questions, organizers, ” security”, surrounded the area where visible Jews were seated. A Jew asked a question: “Is Hamas’s charter racist “? That question then become the focus of vitriole, the “security” closed in around the Jews, security then started to push the Jews, then the dias demanded that the Jew leave the room. The Jew replied out loud that he would not depart unless told to do so by the Police. They came in from the lobby, and that ensued.
While this went on, I pulled out my camera and started to shoot. All manner of people closed in around me, and tried to obscure my lens. I got a few shots, and left for the lobby to catch the newly-evicted Jews’ fate. Organizers were demanding my photos, and my name. They got neither, though it will be next to impossible to be anonymous tomorrow.
For my efforts, a Police Sergeant came up to me and pushed me out the front doors using his chest and flack-jacket against my chest. I asked him why i was being pushed out the doors and he said that. “you know why”. Why? Because I look Jewish? Because I was photographing the altercation started by the islamo-fascists? OR, because he is brown ? Oh, but I can’t make that silly, facetious, suggestion, all while being profiled myself ……….
As for the speakers: a communist Ryerson sociology prof; a racist, hijab-wrapped, student VP of YFS ( York Federation of Students ), who should likely better spend her time fighting female circumcision and misogyny in her own ethnic community; a U of T student who’s family was from Haifa, and who’s father was the student president at Bir Zeit in the 80’s and was imprisoned; a Mohawk student espousing common objectives with supporters of Hamas ………………
We had representation with flags and bodies outdoors, and kudos to all those to came out.
Tomorrow will be worse at York.
We see here a clear pattern where the radicalization of students comes from several areas. we are seeing high profile people involved who are directly involved with students as professors . However, there is an even greater, more sinister group that directs these unsuspecting students into a life that started out as average and ordinary , but in the right setting and atmosphere, is quickly, methodically , cleverly molded into one were soon, the student is totally encapsulated with radicalism that nothing else matters. This is done by the heads of radical student organizations and the CFS , who, for the most part, lurk in the shadows , surfacing when they need bodies to voice THEIR cause.
A very clear example of the power student leaders have , RADICAL student leaders , is an event that took place in 2009 at York University . An anti Israel riot broke out lead by one of the then heads of the York Federation of Students, a very PRO CFS organization . The quote below are sourced from here at : http://www.cjnews.com/living-jewish/jewish-learning/jewish-students-siege-york-u
” …While anti-Israel protested called on York President Mamdouh Shoukri to cut academic ties with Israel, pro-Israel students tried to “drown out the hate with peace…” ” … Within the past two weeks, a Jewish student at York received a death threat against him and his family, while another Jewish student was allegedly assaulted by a member of an anti-Israel campus group. In two other incidents, a mob chanting anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slurs trapped Jewish students inside the campus Hillel lounge, and an anti-Israel rally was held in Vari Hall rotunda. … ”
” … Jewish students are tired of being bullied by anti-Israel groups that intimidate people who don’t support them, and they responded by staging a counter-protest that attracted nearly 200 students. … ”
” … Students Against Israel Apartheid were there with their crew, the Tamil Tigers were there with their whole crew and Krisna Saravanamuttu, the YFS’ vice-president of equity, was there as well … ”
” …Among the slurs shouted by the mob were “Die Jew,” “Get the hell off campus,” “Go back to Israel,” and “F—ing Jew,” Hillel said in a statement. Michael Payton, a York student who witnessed the incident, posted a note on Facebook saying that he saw the YFS’ Saravanamuttu leading the mob. … “
So, just who exactly is Krisna Saravanamuttu ? At that time, he was an executive with the YFS and is not a full time staffer at the CFS .
At an unrelated Sri Lanken protest rally at Queens Park some months later , he re-affirmed his ” FULL SUPPORT : of the Tamil Tigers , another internationally recognized terrorist organization …. saying this as a representative of university students in Ontario who are members of the CFS .
So far , I have only touched upon some of the key players , however, there are many others. In part 3, I will continue this by showing what other university student union leaders have bee up to and what they either promote or support. As always, names and faces will be shown .
Meow everyone. With the Pan Am games around the corner , the professional protestors and professional criminals are hard at work to ensure only the best, highest quality disruptions for this city trophy event, the Pan Am games.
We are all familiar with the events of the 2010 G20 where , among the most violent of the professional protestors, Alex Hundert was front and center of it all as key organizer of smashing sites. He spent time in prison for his actions , but prison was just another place for him to cause even more trouble.
Alex Hundert
Here is hundert sshown with his G20 fellow criminal organizers
Hundert in his own words proclaiming how he was a serious threat to the security of the prision
So, why is this guy still walking the streets ? That is a question best answered by people far more wise than I am but he has most certainly not made any attempts to curtail his criminal actions. However, like any top criminal or terrorist, which is exactly what i think he is, a domestic terrorist , he will not likely be at the center of any action , rather, he will lead from the rear, or the comfort of a couch, so as to appear distant. Osama Bin Laden did the same thing, as did Charles Manson. Hundert is no different.
So, with the games around the corner, naturally, he , like some pre-programmed automoton, old habits don’t so quickly fade away. It appears that our predictable criminal is up to his old tricks once again. Today, he sends out a note on his twitter feed to proclaim him going to a meting to organize …. organize what Alex ?
As any organizer in his position, he is highly respected within his circle of criminals even idolized and worshiped by them . He commands a great deal of respect from his like ( no ) minded idiots , most who will do anything he asks of them, no questions asked. So, when a person like Hundert, who posts a simple little statement on his twitter feed, to most, it will mean nothing. However, within his circles, what he says, and how, is easily taken as an open endorsement for actions and upcoming actions. In other words, if he posts it, he may well likely approve of it and his loyal followers will see this endorsement as a clandestine way of communicating to these masses that ” yes indeed, go ahead to do your thing ” .Below is a case in point
He does not have to be there, indeed, he may well be hundreds of miles away from the actions, but with social media, he still be a great arm chair quarter back , steering his flock from the comfort of his easy chair. The above message is meaningless to the vast majority of readers, and indeed, one can postulate that everything I am saying is mere speculation at best . YES, it is indeed speculation, but his past conduct, going back to the G20 shows that this is indeed how he and the top organizers operate.
Lets have a quick look at whos actions he just endorsed .
Yup, that is indeed Julian Ichim , noted communist, marxist , leninist . This guy has been arrested more times than even some hard core criminals . Here is what Ichim wrote, that drew the attention of Alex Hundert :
We can see here that Ichim, , at least according to his own words, did very little disrupting, however, with the fact the persons like Hundert are making comments as if to endorse such actions , goes further, it is a subtle way to encourage others to be disruptive. In other words , he is, once again, figuratively , selecting the building to be targeted for criminal actions. This time, there is a chance, under the newly passed bill C-51 anti terrorism legislation to stop him in his tracks, as well as all those known through their history of these type of actions . Lets put them out of action before there is action ….. and then its too late .
Meow everyone, Yes, Pan Am season is pretty much upon and this means plenty of protests for the professional protestor and urban terrorist to pick and choose from , In previous articles, I have already outlines some of what these malcontents have in short for us, including , potential riots, storming facilities and so forth.
Well , as to this now, OCAP doing their own stand along protest.
So, with our new anti terrorist laws that just received royal accent, and with these idiots here out telling us what they have planned, can anyone think of a good, valid reason as to why they are not going to get picked up prior to their planned ” protests ” ?
Just in time for the Pan Am games series of upcoming protests , our usual suspects have been kind enough to share ways to riot and all the wonderful things that go along with rioting: MUST READ ( click onto the link below )
