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!*

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 ?

Sunny Dhillon is a Researcher and Program Evaluator with the Centre of Research, Policy & Program Development. He joined the Centre in 2014. He is involved in the evaluation of a variety of local office programs, and provides support to current research projects. He has completed an MSc with Distinction in Criminology and Criminal Justice Research Methods at the University of Oxford, as well as an MA in Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto. He has also worked as a Senior Statistics Officer for the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. During his graduate studies he focused on the operation of the criminal justice system, access to justice, and emerging methodologies in criminological research.
Sunny’s talk will be based on the recent report by the Centre titled: Unlocking Change: Decriminalizing Mental Health Issues in Ontario. This report chronicles how the criminal justice system has become a catchall for people whose mental health issues have gone untreated or undetected in the community. The Report calls on the province to stop relying on the justice system as a key responder to individuals who have mental health issues, and provides recommendations aimed at shifting Ontario toward prevention. Unlocking Change articulates a pressing need for a paradigm shift in Ontario toward – and investment in – proactive, preventative and inclusive approaches to mental health. A prevention-based approach would aim to help Ontarians with mental health issues beforethey become at risk – of homelessness, crisis, unemployment or conflict with the law. The talk will emphasize possible policy solutions as well as open a discussion among the panelists and attendees on promising solutions for the future.
Steve Wineman
Steve Wineman’s social change activism dates back to the 1960s. He has participated in efforts to achieve peace and disarmament, racial and gender equality, workplace democracy, and ecological sustainability. He retired at the end of 2013 after more than 30 years working in community mental health. Steve is the author of The Politics of Human Services and Power-Under: Trauma and Nonviolent Social Change.
Steve Wineman’s talk will focus on the complex, interacting dynamics of power and trauma. He will describe the continuum of objective power relations, ranging from dominance to shared power to subordination, as well as the continuum of subjective power experience ranging from full empowerment to the internalization of powerlessness that often accompanies trauma. To understand the full complexity of power, we need to recognize how the same person can be dominant on one dimension (such as class) and subordinate on another (such as gender). We also need to recognize that subjective power (or lack of power) often does not match people’s objective power positions, and that internalized powerlessness can lethally combine with objective dominance. Understanding the complexity of power dynamics, including the role of trauma, is critical to the development of effective strategies for transformative social change.

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

Mr. Alok Mukherjee Is this the sort of event that a former head of a police service should be seen and sitting along side with on a panel ?What kind of message are you, as head of a police service board sending to the very officers you and your board seemingly create policy for ?
I might understand attending such an event as a panelist and possibly having one questionable person as part of that panel. That might be a simple oversight . However, attending a panel along side three of the top terrorists in their field sir is, in my opinion, incompetence . One would think, and perhaps event expect that as former head of the largest law enforcement organization in the country, you would want to at least check out the back grounds of those with whom you are about to share a stage with .
Mr. Alok Mukherjee , your attendance and participation at this seminar along side these three people is , in my view, exactly the same as is the Director of the CIA or NSA where to attend a party hosted by ISIS or some other terrorist group. I doubt sir that if John Gotti the famous mobster , where to host a party or a seminar, the chief of police would sit at the table along side him as part of his panel , or attend a party know who was going to be there. So sir, I have to ask the rhetorical question of whether , during your tenure as Police Service Board Chairman , where you in fact there to undermine the efforts of officers attempts to enforce the law effectively , or , where you there to forward your own personal agenda ( if there was one ) ? I ask sir because under your tenure , you allowed the black live matter group to disrupt one of the board meetings , seemingly , freely. Under your tenure, officers were seemingly held back from stopping a major riot during the G20 that destroyed this city. I am NOT saying you were responsible for either, i just find it very odd that these events , these people you engaged with at this seminar are so closely tied together . It makes me question you leadership and soundness of judgement. Mr. Alok Mukherjee, I am not questioning your commitment to your duties, I AM questioning the soundness of your judgement with respects to whom you share a panel discussion table with … especially with even the most minimal research , you would have known who these people really are / where , and especially given your former position as head of a top law enforcement agency.
Meow everyone. I have written about the black lives matter movement previously, and have stated just utterly out of touch with reality they are. I have shown through THEIR OWN WORDS what they really want , yet, some still seem to be under the impression that this is a real important movement . In this article, I am going to disassemble a recent article in the Toronto Star written by black live matter organizer and top agitator just how friggin stupid both he is, as well as his beloved movement. First, a little reminder of what black lives matter really stands for , in THEIR own words :
Because I am taking this article apart bits at a time. My comments will be noted in this color , while leaving Coles article / comments in green .
By: Desmond Cole Published on Thu Jan 14 2016
All of us know someone who has been charged with or convicted of a crime. Most of us don’t think this connection could cost us our employment. This is exactly what happened to Ayaan Farah a couple of years ago.
Here she is as depicted in the linked article :
She lost her security clearance at Pearson airport, and the job that went with it, after police claimed she had connections to a local gang, and was a potential threat to airline safety.
So Desmond, then you are perfectly OK with someone who is known to be connected closely to drug trafficers , gun criminals, gang bangers , working in a highly secure area, where she can possibly have access to aircraft, plant drugs, guns, explosives? You are, then, perfectly OK with putting millions of air passengers at risk by someone know to the cops for her close gang connection?
The RCMP says Farah, now 31, is connected to members of the Dixon Crew street gang in Etobicoke, but won’t name her alleged associates. When Farah couldn’t explain her relationship with people the government would not identify, she lost her livelihood. Her experience shows how racial profiling, carding, and excessive surveillance threaten people who shouldn’t even be on the police’s radar.
Hmm, let me see Desmond, she cant / won’t share her connections , even though she is know to have them . Oh, Desmond, tell us all please, how is she being racially profiled here ? Where does this say anywhere that she was carded ?
Farah has no criminal record, and in her eight years on the job at United Airways (now American Airlines) she’d never been formally disciplined. She was using her wages, in part, to help pay for her sister’s post-secondary education. When Transport Canada downgraded Farah’s security clearance in February 2014, it didn’t say she had done anything wrong. Officials said they were investigating Farah’s alleged connection to the Dixon Crew, which police describe as a street gang “primarily comprised of Somali males.” Police have not clearly demonstrated any link between Farah, who is of Somali heritage, and the unnamed convicted criminals it called “Subjects A, B, and C.”
Desmond, while this may be far to big for your pathetic racist brain to comprehend, national security does trump ever her . Gang affiliations are serious, they do bad things like sell drugs, run guns, kill people, you know stuff like that .
The RCMP says two of the three men connected to Farah were passengers in a car leaving the funeral of an alleged gang member in 2014. The car is registered to Farah, but her father is its primary driver. Farah was not in the car when these passengers were spotted. When officials questioned her about the incident, she stumbled to describe an interaction she was not part of. Her hesitation was deemed suspicious and used as evidence against her.
Hmm, so, she is not willing to name her gang connections, now, we see here that she cant event keep her story straight ? Oh Des. , her story is riddled with flaws.
Farah’s father, Mohamed Ali, is a well-respected figure in the Somali-Canadian community. He attends many funerals, and recalls one afternoon in 2014 when he was leaving a funeral, driving the same car identified as carrying “Subject B” and “Subject C,” and was stopped by Toronto police — they never told him why. “They asked me for my license and ownership of the car,” Ali told me in a phone interview — documentation that was later used to ruin his daughter’s career.
“… attends many funerals ? … ” Des, why is he attending so many funerals ? Whos funerals ?
The other alleged connection involves another man with a serious criminal history, whom the ministry calls “Subject A.” Police claim they once contacted Farah and the man together in 2011 — no date of the interaction is given, nor any details of the nature, location, or context. Police say “Subject A” told them he knows Farah. However, they won’t identify him, and thus gave Farah no fair opportunity to verify or explain any connection to him.
Translated Desmond, police are investigating a serious criminal , who Farah knows.
In October, Farah’s clearance was suddenly restored without any communication from the ministry. “At that time I felt so good, and thought everything was resolved,” she told me this week. But a month later, Transport Canada revoked Farah’s clearance for good. The ministry concluded she “may be prone or induced to commit an act, or assist or abet an individual to commit an act that may unlawfully interfere with civil aviation.”
So Desmond, given the fact that she knows who these criminals are but wont give up their names , she is certain prone to commit serous crimes of her own , you know, the stuff people do when they are involved , even by extension to gangs.
In the terrifying surveillance state we live in, you don’t have to commit a crime to be criminalized. You don’t even have to interact directly with people for their criminal records to be used to tarnish you. The government can accuse you of associating with a criminal, but not name him. Perhaps most shockingly, the government can suggest you are hanging out with a disreputable person, even as it uses the testimony of that apparently shady person against you.
No Desmond, the government has not suggesting she was hanging with highly dangerous criminals, a clear path of evidence proved this, along with her own refusal to cooperate.
Although the RCMP made the security case against Farah, its information seems to have come from Toronto police. Ali’s interaction after the funeral is consistent with the practice of carding, which has targeted black civilians and branded them as either criminals or their associates. “The only thing I have in common with these people is that I’m Somalian, and I used to live in Dixon,” Farah said of her alleged criminal associations.
Desmond, i was waiting to see how long it would take you to play the race card. Dude, your rhetoric is getting so friggin boring already.
If the police follow any one of us long enough, they can connect us to crime. The folks they most often choose to follow, document, and share information about — because of race, religion, or social location — are at greatest risk for bad outcomes, even if they are innocent. This is the consequence of racial profiling, carding, and draconian new laws like Bill C-51.
Des, here is a little insight for you. When or if the cops are following you, its because you are either a kn own criminal, or, are closely connected to dangerous criminals. Race, religion or social location have nothing to do with that . Des. do you write your own material ? because if you do, may I suggest throwing in a few facts every now and then.
Farah is suing the government over her situation, but it seems unlikely she’ll get her job back. She has gone back to school for health sciences, but worries the criminal associations will follow her forever. “I’ve always wanted to stay on the right path to help my family’s situation,” Farah told me with a shaky voice. “Even when we try to do right, we still get the short end.”
Poor Farah, hangs with known criminals, hates getting followed, loses security clearance because she poses security risk, sues government because she thinks they are racists, blah blah blah ……. How utterly idiotic, but predictable.
Desmond Cole is a Toronto-based journalist. His column appears every Thursday.
Well, Des, I read your column because you are always going to come up with new ways to cry oppression and racism. While you are a pathetic journalist , you should consider getting a real job, you know, something where you have to live in reality, as opposed to the fantasy world you live in now .
The real beauty of Desmond Cole and idiots just like him is that because he does have a weekly column, we can be reading his brand of idiocy for years. People like Cole seem to live in some fantasy world where reality is far , far from their realm of thinking. If Mr. Spock were alive today, I suspect that he would refer to Cole as one of the most illogical humans to have ever existed. However, I do have to give Cole credit for one thing …. he has a really vivid imagination, devoid of any possibly concept of reality , but imagination never – the – less .
Cole does, sadly, have one other quality . He is ” media ” and he uses that to spread his brand of hate , with the hope, and expectation of other like minded twits will absorb every word he spews from his key board. He is certainly not the only one who does this, indeed, others before him done this, and others after him will do the same. When working for a major left wing news organization, one seemingly needs little to no credibility these days, just a following , a flavor of the month message of hate and a bunch of like minded radicals who eat up everything he says.
” … CALGARY – In a field on the outskirts of Sarnia, Ont., there’s a big blue wheel surrounded by a chain-link fence.
Attached to the fence and nailed to a nearby wooden post is a warning: high pressure petroleum pipeline.
Early one December morning, a trio of anti-pipeline activists managed to get to the other side of the fence. Photos show them smiling broadly as they turned the wheel, to which they then locked themselves.
While the incident caused no injuries or significant service disruptions, the owner of the pipeline — the newly reversed and expanded Line 9 between southwestern Ontario and Montreal — said that incident and others have raised “serious concerns.”
“Enbridge sites are locked, secured and monitored for the safety of people and the environment. As with any vital infrastructure or service, they can be made dangerous if tampered with or sabotaged,” said Graham White, a spokesman for Calgary-based firm Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB).
“We are assessing and employing various additional, permanent measures to enhance our security and safety at these sites to help prevent these types of tampering activities in the future. As part of ensuring the effectiveness of these measures, we will not provide details or discuss them publicly.”
Lindsay Gray, speaking on behalf of the “land defenders” in an interview on the day of the Sarnia protest, said there wasn’t much stopping them.
“Anyone could have done this,” she said. “Anyone.”
Line 9 was offline for about 90 minutes while the protesters were removed from the site and Enbridge inspected the line for damage. Though the protesters took credit for the shutdown, Enbridge says the line was shut off remotely from its control room.
There was a similar disruption two weeks earlier on another segment on Line 9 in Quebec. And then in early January, Enbridge’s Line 7 near Cambridge, Ont., was shut down due to sabotage.
Kelly Sundberg, an associate professor at Mount Royal University who specializes in environmental crime, shakes his head at those tactics.
“It’s just so dangerous,” he said. “They risk causing damage to the line. There are so many possible negative outcomes that could come both from a security perspective, but also from an environmental damage perspective.”
On that score, Gray retorted: “Every second that it’s flowing, we’re in danger.”
Martin Rudner, professor emeritus at Carleton University who is an expert in security and critical infrastructure, said the industry has a variety of measures in place to secure their sites and respond when they are breached — and generally they seem to be working.
“It’s hard to make an overall judgment, but I think the best way to judge it is the fact that no major interruption has taken place,” he said.
But, he said: “Needless to say, they can’t be everywhere all the time.”
Many companies hire security guards to patrol sites, but Rudner said the use of drones could be a much more effective approach — though there are regulatory hurdles to that.
Warren Mabee, director of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy at Queen’s University, said he sees the rash of pipeline tampering as a “blip,” with the anti-pipeline movement emboldened by recent wins like the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL project.
“It’s not a good tactic. I think that it backfires because I think that the broad public, although they may not like the pipeline, they see that as beyond the pale.”
Read the underlined part again:
” … “It’s just so dangerous,” he said. “They risk causing damage to the line. There are so many possible negative outcomes that could come both from a security perspective, but also from an environmental damage perspective.” … ”
So, we now see from the owner of the line that these “protesters ” are in fact risking serious damage to life and environment …. that certainly falls under the definition or terrorism .
Meow everyone. So far I have talked about some of the different ways, different groups radicalize students to become part of THEIR ” cause ” , regardless of the implications the actions of these groups can have on one future. These implications, however, not only have an effect on the future of the radicalized person, but as well, can have serious implications on the lives of others around them. I have ofte referred to these organizations and their leaders as domestic terrorists. This is something I am NOT going to shy away from because the actions they carry out are exactly that , acts of terrorism.
Take a very recent example out of Cleveland Ohio and the Black Live Matter movement. We already know that the black live matter movement want a race war , and will do what ever it takes to get one. They have said as much . However, what took place in Cleveland takes this to a whole new level. Once again, they outright proclaim to wanting a race war , but this time, they stepped it up big time. They have actually been putting up posters offer a $ 500,000.00 ” reward ” for a the verified kill of a state prosecutor . Why? because this prosecutor did not indict a police officer who was involved a fatal shooting .
Wanted Dead Poster Circulating Around Cleveland Prosecutor’s Neighborhood
” … A flyer has apparently been circulated around prosecutor Timothy McGinty’s West Park neighborhood offering a 500,000 dollar reward for confirmation of his death. The poster is being classified as a credible threat and has prompted an FBI response. They are going to assist the Cleveland police in finding the person responsible for circulating the flyer.
Timothy McGinty is the prosecutor who some claim steered a Grand Jury away from indicting Timothy Loehmann for the 2014 shooting of Tamir Rice. He is not a very well liked man around Cleveland at the moment. It’s apparent that his loyalty lies with the Cleveland police and their union, as opposed to looking out for the people of Cleveland, which is his job.
The flyer mentioned Tamir Rice. It surfaced less than two weeks after McGinty announced that a grand jury would not charge the officers involved in Rice’s death . The flyer also mentioned race and class war and instructions for collecting the money anonymously.
You can not see the entire poster in the picture but it does mention #classwar and #racewar. I do not know what they mean by that and I don’t think race should be the focus of injustice here. It pisses me off to see people fighting over petty shit and making this about race. The police in Cleveland are killing people. I really do not think they care what race you are when they kill you. Just as gang violence bullets don’t discriminate, neither do police bullets! No one has claimed responsibility for the flyer thus far and I doubt they will. … “
Now, lets change locations slightly to Philadelphia , where a police officer was shot 13 times by a lone radical terrorists .
” … A man who confessed to shooting a Philadelphia police officer multiple times “in the name of Islam” used a stolen police gun and pledged allegiance to ISIS, authorities said Friday.
“This is absolutely one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” Philadelphia police Commissioner Richard Ross said of surveillance footage that captured Thursday night’s bloody encounter in West Philadelphia. “This could have easily been a police funeral.”
The suspect fired at least 13 times, emptying the 9mm handgun he was shooting, Ross said.
The suspect also gave a confession every bit as shocking.
“He stated that he pledges his allegiance to Islamic State, he follows Allah and that is the reason he was called upon to do this,” said Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark. … “
Above, I have added two images. One showing the shooter, and one showing the officer who was shot. One cannot help but see the connection here between the officer being a white male, while the shooter is a black male. Yes, the story line if about this being a islamic act of terrorism, which it is , however, this also clearly shows a race war being enacted.
We here in Canada have our crop of highly dangerous nut cases. What sets us apart , however, is how OUR terrorists , ( and yes, that is exactly what they are ) , get treated here . It seems that the most currant flavor of the month actions are shutting down our oil supply via the Trans Canada Pipeline . It appears that certain eco-terrorists don’t want our oil flowing , oil that is from Canada. However, these same nut jobs are perfectly OK wit oil flowing through pipelines that come from the middle east, you know, the same part of the world that is home to most of the worlds most dangerous terrorists . Go figure.
Back on December 31, 2015 , these eco – terrorist closed off a valve on the line 9 pipeline route.
Activists sabotage Enbridge pipeline near Cambridge
TORONTO – Enbridge Inc. says flow on a pipeline through southwestern Ontario was shut down for several hours by protester activity near Cambridge, Ont.
Spokesman Graham White says the protesters partially restricted flow on Enbridge (TSX:ENB) Line 7 on Sunday night by tampering with a manual valve.
White says the pipe was shut down for approximately three hours on Monday morning as a safety precaution and so that maintenance workers could inspect the valve station.
He says Enbridge has safely restarted the line — which carries various products from Sarnia to Westover — and there was no impact on client deliveries.
A Monday post by “nopipelines” on the Reddit Anarchist News site claimed responsibility for the sabotage, saying it was to protest the flow of oilsands products through pipelines in Ontario.
Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline was offline for about 90 minutes on Dec. 19 after three activists concerned about the line’s environmental impacts locked themselves to a valve site on the outskirts of Sarnia. … “
Lets meet the three eco – terrorists who put people lives at risk with this one act :
Here is what they were charged with , and note that even Vanessa gay admits that she endangered life :
” … -we are being charged with trespassing = fine, mischief over $5,000 = max. of up to 10 years, and mischief of endangering life = max. life in prison. -we were released on our own recognizance with minimal conditions. our next court date is january 26th in sarnia. this process will probably take up to a year before we are sentenced. – you can donate money to our legal fund by sending email transfers to [email protected]. the password is – solidarity. thank you. it feels not particularly great to ask for money for support with everything else going on. so we really appreciate it. … “
Look at the last paragraph of her post. She actually, with a straigh face want YOU, the general public to pay for HER legal bills , for HER crimes.
Her confession to her crime :
” … I have been taking time for myself lately and reflecting on all the solid folks who support me. I am so grateful for all the people who worked quickly to help me when I was arrested for turning off the valve of Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline. Thank you all for your work and energy .
*A manual valve is there for an emergency. Enbridge would also manually turn the valve and shut line 9 off.* Enbridge does not have consent to allow more Tar Sands in my territory and I see this as an emergency to stop the flow because this project is not worth the risk.
My ancestors had to fight to survive colonial violence on this land so I can be here today. I honor the gift of existence by using my voice and body to challenge the system that continues to destroy the land and culture my life depends on.
During this exciting time I see growth and change in our movements and I look forward to restoring the land and decolonizing our futures together in the new year. Love and respect to you all! … “
Terrorism often spawns other similar acts . short there after, , several others did the same thing to another pipeline as seen here :
” … what better way to start a new year than by shutting down some fucking oil pipelines?
sometime in the night of january 3rd, 2016 individuals stole into the dark near so-called cambridge and used a manual pipeline valve to restrict the flow of enbridge’s line 7. we then applied our own locking devices to delay response time.
line 7 is another recently-expanded tarsands pipeline operated by enbridge, running paralellel to line 9 & flowing 180,000 bpd of tarsands crude.
this action was undertaken to show our ever lasting love and support to the brave folks who’ve taken similar actions in the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, Mohawk, and Anishinaabek people.
further, we take action to counter the new narrative of the state; to swing back at the grossly inflated charges those in sarnia received, and show that we will not be cowed.
we fight for the land and water; and we fight for our lives.
we will always fight back, whether it’s with the sun warming our faces, or the moonlight to guide us.
join us.
no tarsands, no pipelines. … “
Now, you will never guess who was quick to offer her support for these actions. Go on, guess :
Now, have a look at who else was fully supportive of this act. Yes, None other than our now well known eco – terrorist , Vanessa Gray .
Sorry Vanessa, but if you take joy in waking up to acts of terrorism where people can be killed and / or displaced, you are pathetic little shit who , I hope will locked up in a prison cell where you and everyone like you belong. Gray, being the clearly brainless twit , tells us that somehow, she has a right to do this . Yes, the stupid is strong in her :
Sorry Vanessa, NO, you DONT have the right to endanger lives, and, rather than spending your time globe trotting from one protest to another, you may want to spend some time in an actual school , because guess what , the pipeline, or another industry does not threaten your culture . Sheeeesh, are these people ( the professional protesters ) really THAT stupid ? Wait, yes they are . . . obviously. Hey, Vanessa Stone , Sarah, Sakura and the rest of you underachieving morons, why are you not protesting oil that is shipped via pipelines that is from the middle east ? Ya, just as I thought, you cant come up with an answer…
Sarah Scanlon was part of this group who never nearly caused a major disaster. However, this was not the first time she was involved in such criminal activities. Recently, over the past summer, this eco- terrorist was also in Port Hope Ontario with some other very well known, and equally dangerous idiots, doing the same thing. Clearly, this is something they are bent on doing , regardless of the costs. I am sure many of you recognize some familiar criminals here .
Prior to these two acts of sabotage , there was one other one on or about December 07 of 2015 as seen in this video, where, once again, eco – terrorists , put the public in significant danger, as well,disrupted the economy of Canada , because in their drug induced minds, they somehow thought is was simply fine to trespass onto private property and willfully damage something that was not theirs:
So, with all this clear evidence , why is nothing being done to stop them before they do kill someone. I am not normally critical of law enforcement , however, this time, I have to be . We see clear evidence of them engaging in these crimes…. REPEATEDLY , yet, at best, they are getting the proverbial slap on the wrist and treated with kid gloves, as opposed to the terrorists they actually are. Make no mistake, they ARE terrorists .
“ … espionage or sabotage that is against Canada or is detrimental to the interests of Canada or activities directed toward or in support of such espionage or sabotage … ”
” … The act of interfering with a pipeline is the very definition of sabotage- and considering the risk to life & the environment, it’s not unreasonable to call it eco-terrorism. Merriam-Webster defines sabotage as “destruction of property (as tools or materials) or the hindering of manufacturing,” Cambridge defines it as “to intentionally prevent the success of a plan or action … ”.
While the police have been more than kind and respectful to these eco – terrorists , I think they ( the police ) need to be willing to lay those terrorism charges . As well, I think the courts need to finally recognize the real and extreme danger these people pose to the very lives of Canadians, but as well, the great danger these same people pose to the economy of Canada through their brand of terrorism. These people will stop at nothing until they get THEIR way , and indeed, they WILL escalate their actions to the point where they WILL endanger lives , possibly take lives with their twisted idea of what they call protest. These people will kill someone. its not a question of ” if ” but rather ” WHEN ” . So, if public safety and economic security are real priorities, and not just lip service, then ….. GET THESE PEOPLE BEHIND BARS FOR GOOD ALREADY …
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. So far, I have shown you all about how certain groups and people radicalize unsuspecting students to their so called causes . As well, i have clearly shown how the Canadian Federation of Students ( CFS ) is the primary organization that uses YOUR student money to radicalize these students, going so far as to breaking laws and supporting terrorist organizations . In this article, I will show how the CFS has its hands in the latest flavor of the month protest movement, ” black lives matter ” .
Now, before you continue reading this story, I want to redirect you to my very good friend Genuinewity’s blog , as he has a GREAT story about one of the ways that students are radicalized. If you have read this series so far, one name in my series an done name in Genunewity’s story share a common name. Go ahead, see if you can spot the name.
In Toronto we seen our own incarnation of the occupy movement, which was a disaster right from the start. While it had potential to at least raise awareness of certain issues, it was quickly hijacked by professional protesters to ensure union agendas were being addressed only . Occupy Toronto failed badly and while some are still trying to keep it alive, no one is interested in being part of such a failure again. The demise of occupy morphed its self into the idle no more movement , which also failed miserably. The differences between occupy and idle no more was the idle no more wanted violent confrontations , which , other than a a few small incidents, never materialized . Again, yes, there are some still trying to keep this movement alive but it is all but dead.
The professional protesters , or fake-tivists as I prefer to call them had nothing to protest once idle no more dies a slow death. Sure they have the old stand by’s such as environmental issues they know nothing about, some take up native issues which once again, they know nothing about . Funny though how these same fake-tivists want us to stop what they call appropriating native cultures , stop taking the voices away from these same natives, yet, THEY, the professional protesters , are the one doing all the taking, not letting the natives they claim to support and ally with, speak. In fact, the natives have go so far as to tell them that they, the natives, don’t want others speaking for them. Professional protesters of course don’t care, they get paid regardless of who they oppress and for what reason.
Black Lives Matter came along at what seems to be at just the right times for these professional protesters. It offered a ready made cause, and , for the professional protesters, it offered something else …. and an opportunity for violence they so badly wanted from the idle no more movement , and from occupy. Now, all they had to do was come up with a justifiable reason ( in their own twisted minds ) as to why the violence they desperately wanted was going to become a very valuable tool to draw upon.
I wrote a couple articles about the black lives matter movement that I wish to refer my readers to at this point . They can be found here. , and here . I include these here because of how relevant they are to the subject of student radicalization and who is responsible for this radicalization. To give a perfect example of just how dangerous and violent the black live matter movement here in Toronto really is , this video shows it with perfect clarity. Notice how the ones instigating the mini riot are NOT the cops , rather, its the ones who are interfering with a lawful arrest.
In my most previous article, I posted am image showing two names of the head organizers of the black live matter movement in Toronto.
Sandy Hudson
As we see here, the CFS has its hands deeply involved in this movement as well. Another key player is a lady named Pascale Diverlus.
Pascale is the sister of Rodney Diverlus who was at one time, the Ryerson Student Union President. Rodney was also one of the key anti police protest organizers during the G20 in Toronto were he called for violence against police officers. But let go back to Sandy Hudson.Read the following articles linked here , here , statement of claim here , and here . Although the case has yet to be proven in court, it appears that Ms. Hudson was alleged to be engaged in committing fraud . So, she got her ass fired and voila, look where she ends up, but running a violent protest organization, back with her fellow CFS cronies. This looks to me, very much like this was all planned ahead of time, to try ad get an out of court settlement and provide some financing for this movement.
I can go on all day long telling you about the dangers that the black lives matter movement poses to the public, however, rather than me saying it, why not read what one of their own people said :
‘Black Lives Matter’ supporter who threatened to kill 16 white students/staff allowed to return to class after arrest
” … 21-year-old engineering student Jabari Dean is allowed to return to class after threatening to execute 16 white male students and staff at the University of Chicago.
Authorities said Jabari Dean was responsible for a mass shooting threat that forced the school to cancel its classes on Monday.
The threat was posted on worldstarhiphop.com. It said, “This is my only warning. At 10 a.m. on Monday mourning (sic) I am going to the campus quad of the University of Chicago. I will be armed with a M-4 Carbine and 2 Desert Eagles all fully loaded. I will execute aproximately (sic) 16 white male students and or staff, which is the same number of time (sic) Mcdonald (sic) was killed. I then will die killing any number of white policemen that I can in the process. This is not a joke. I am to do my part to rid the world of the white devils. I expect you to do the same….”
The threat was made after after city officials released a video of white Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.
According to Fox, a federal judge agreed to put Dean under house arrest in the custody of his mother. He is allowed to attend classes, but must stay off the internet.
The Sun-Times reports that no weapons were found in Dean’s off-campus apartment. He does, however, face a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Dean’s uncle, Phillip Rutherford, called the threat “just fun and games … “
FUN AND GAMES ???? Ya, right.
Let me take you back to Pascal Diverlus for a moment. I have already described her as a self center idiot, who is one of the key organizers of the black live matter organization intent on starting a race war. We have already seen this to be true with screen shots of quotes I posted here. However, Diverlus, being the brain dead idiot she has proven to be so far, will stop at nothing to fuel the fire of race baiting. She plays the race card more often that some people take showers , but then for her, the race card is a tool to use to incite hate and add ammunition to her desired and intended race war. Case in point. The Ryerson Student Union recently made the decision to cut costs , like any good, responsible business would when they are using STUDENT MONEY. They laid of, NOT FIRED BUT LAID OFF , two people who were simply not required to do the jobs they were doing. The position terminated was the position of Executive Director of Outreach and Communication. Yes, only one person did that job but because one person was on leave, a second person replaced her until the leave was fulfilled.
At a CFS affiliated student union, the position of Executive Director of Outreach and Communication is an overseer to ensure that CFS mandates, campaigns and agendas are being given top priority. Student issues are NOT to be addressed as these issues could possibly throw a wrench into the CFS plans …. THAT is what the position of Executive Director of Outreach and Communication is there to ensure does not happen. It is a position that pays $ 70,000.00 per year. The Executive Director of Outreach and Communication also is supposed to ” train ” the new executive each year on the CFS ways of doing things and to make sure that the executive stay on track … the CFS track . The new , currant executive would have non of that and have made some very significant and very positive changes to ensure that students get top billing, NOT the CFS.
Some years ago, while I was part of the community service group that addressed disability related issues, part of the process to ensure only ” qualified staff ” were brought on board, the interview process consisted very heavily of asking about ones knowledge of the CFS and what they do. It was made clear even then that our positions with these service groups was to address CFS only related issues and enact CFS only campaigns.
Now, it just so happened that the currant person who held the position of Executive Director of Outreach and Communication was a dark skined lady who is also muslim . So, Diverlus, never wanting to miss an opportunity to race bait and fan the flames of racism said :
former VP-equity ( Pascal Diverlus ) confronts her and suggests race and religion may have been at play in jobs cut
” … “You should really think about people’s lives before you try to ruin them, first of all,” she says. “And think about what you as a white woman is doing to a black Muslim woman by ruining her position and saying it is reconstructing. You should really think about that. You should really ask your VP equity who stands for this and really think about what this means for someone like,” at which point the next word is difficult to make out. … ”
” … Diverlus, who considers Massa a close friend, told The Ryersonian she approached Bartlett as a concerned student. “I have been very emotional about the fact that a black Muslim woman’s job has been removed, … “
Pascal, like your brother Rodney , you two are full of yourselves and think you’re better than everyone else. Further you think that you can play the race card and garner sympathy from students by crying foul, or race when ever it suits you. Guess what. the two of you are not only ‘ not all that ‘ , frankly, you’re not even some of that. So, my advice to both you … get a job and leave the advocacy to real people who actually know what they are doing and how to do it … do it CORRECTLY . It is YOU TWO who are the problem , it is YOU TWO who create the racial tensions , to fuel your own agendas . By the way Pascal, I couldn’t help but notice how , by your silence, were perfectly fine with a white woman getting laid off. You, an equity vp? at best, you’re a joke , and a pretty bad one at that.
The next person on the black live matter organizer list is yet another former RSU President , Rejean Hoilett and, you’ll never guess where he is working now . Yes, he now works for the CFS and its Ontario Chairmen . I know, I know, shocking news ……
In the continuation of this series, I will still cover in depth, the police investigation process when police have to use force , as well, how outside influences from the professional protest crowd play integral roles in radicalizing students . You don’t want to miss either one….
Meow everyone. So far we have covered some of the ways students become radicalized , and by whom. However, the ” by whom ” part is what we will examine much closer in this article . However, before I get into the story, I wanted to share something that was found on November 20 , 2015 at Sheridan College, one of the local Colleges here in Toronto . I don’t this needs too much of an explanation , and is very much indicative of just what level of radicalization we really do have in this city :
ISIS magazine calls for attacks on Canada
” …The latest issue of Dabiq, a magazine published by the Islamic State, is again calling for attacks on Canada.
A professional looking magazine available in English, and other languages, Dabiq is used as a tool to attract recruits and provide messages to followers.
The latest issue, released Nov. 18, is titled “Just Terror.” Included among the 65 pages of propaganda is a reprint of words first spoken by ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed Al-Adnani referencing Canada.
It calls on “mujahadeen” — meaning jihadi fighters — in Western countries, including Canada.
“Your state is facing a new campaign by the crusaders … we call you up to defend the Islamic State … Rise and defend your state from your place wherever you may be.”
While ISIS encourages recruits to join them in Iraq and Syria, they also want Western supporters to conduct attacks in their home countries.
The statement continues: “Kill a kafir American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian.” Kafir is Arabic for non-believer or infidel. … “
I would say that they above two i,mages and links show with absolute clarity the level if radicalism we do have, and where these radicals are placing themselves.
I have made numerous direct references to the Canadian Federation of Students , CFS for short. In this article, I will show everyone exactly who is, and was / were the key players in this organization.
The CFS is a ” student organization ” which makes rather grandiose claims to advocating for student issues. However, they , in fact, do very little, to nothing for students but take their money and use it for their own agendas . Students have NO SAY what so ever as to what they CFS does, and this is by design. The CFS is a highly confrontational organization that is a staunch supporters of the NDP party, which is, in essence, the communist party with a different color. They are a self serving organization which reward their most loyal members with plum , cushy , high pay jobs , on YOUR STUDENT dime . the more radical they are, the greater the chances of working for them. Once one decides to leave to work elsewhere, no problem, the CFS is well enough connected to other radical organization to ensure a life time of employment for the radicals in other highly radical places with high pay of course.Here is exactly what the CFS REALLY is, does and supports :
I am going try and create this list of who’s who in as much of an orderly fashion as possible. However, because this organization is , very deliberately designed to be inaccessible and heard to track, there will be some jumping around as well , something I will go my best to either avoid, or, explain. I will start from my own first exposure to the CFS back in 2006 .
One of the first things that is very important to know and understand is how the CFS organizes. Here in PDF form is the CFS-OrganizingGuide
In 2006, the CFS was run by a guy named Joel Duff . If that name rings a bell, it should, he is the same guy who has previously assaulted me during an anti police new conference and is now employed by the Ontario Federation of Labor, yes, Sid Ryan’s outfit.
During the G20 meeting here in Toronto back in 2010 , Duff was one of the main ring leaders of the protests .
During that period of time, Duff was personally involved with a lady named Denise Hammond. Hammond just so happened to be , at that time, the Executive director of outreach and communication for the Ryerson Student Union. Hammond was also the head of CUPE local 1281 at that time. She is now the President of the Continuing Education Students At Ryerson CESAR for short .. local 104 of the CFS . Hammond is no stranger to violence, and while she would not carry it out herself, she has no trouble with being around those who would , and do .
In this image below , she is clearly seen standing by, observing the criminal act or arson being enacted by G20 urban terrorists. I am guessing very strongly that she knows full well exactly who these terrorists are, an d putting her under pressure, I suspect she would sing like a canary , given the alternative of jail , or talk and walk.
Hammond left CUPE and became one of the founding members of a very militant and dangerous union UNIFOR.
During the time around 2006 , the person who was in charge of CESAR was a guy I also cover here a fair bit, Jeremy Salter . He is also depicted in the same image as the one above with Joel Duff leading the G20 riots. Salter moved on the become the executive director of the York Federation of Students , a position he held in 2009 when the anti Israel Riots took place at York University. He is not in charge of the CFS . One of his trademarks is his ” Hitler ” salute . He love to hang out the the Pravda Vodka bar on Wellington street .
Here is is at the G20 riots in front of the holding center:
When Salter took over as the head of the CFS in Ontario, he left his position as executive director of the York Federation of Students. That vacancy was filled with a former anti Israel riot organizer and Former YFS executive member , Hamid Osman . ( standing , wearing dark green shirt )
So far, I have shown only some of the key players in the CFS who clearly support violence as a tactic. However, now, its time to step it up a bit and show you the key people who actually support terrorist organizations , and work either for the CFS , or are, or have been part of these radical student unions.
Krisna was one of the key organizers of the anti Israel riots at York university as I have shown in my previous article. He has also openly and very publicly voiced his support for a terrorist organization at Queens Park a few summers ago during a Sri Laken rally there. AS the screen shot shows now, he is now with the CFS.
OK, lets turn the heat up a few notches now. I indicated, via a screen shot a bit further up the page how the CFS supports terrorist groups. One of the key figures with the CFS ( she is no longer there, was a lady named Angel Regnier . Is was rumored that at one time, she was the partner of Jeremy Salter, but i have never been able to confirm this. What is, however, undeniable is her support for the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization while she was head of the CFS. In fact, the head of the U of T student union went around soliciting funds for her legal defense after getting arrested .
Here is Angel Regnier as she appeared at an anti police protest in front of police hq in Toronto shortly after the G20, speaking against the cops :
This is were Regnier is today :
Is the CFS connection to the radicalization of students clear yet? Well, let me add one more name here : Sandy Hudson , yes, the same Sand Hudson as named in a screen shot just above.
Former UTSU president returns as executive director
After serving two terms as chair of provincial lobby group, Sandy Hudson back at the union she once led
Sandy Hudson was UTSU president between 2008 and 2010; chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario between 2010 and 2012, and UTSU executive director from 2012 to 2015. DAN EPSTEIN/THE VARSITY
Former University of Toronto Students’ Union president Sandy Hudson has returned to the UTSU in the role of executive director.
Hudson, who served as president from 2008 through 2010, returns to the union where she began her career, after two years as chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students–Ontario (CFS-O).
So, what, you may be asking , is she up to these days ? She is now one of the head organizers of the black lives matter radical organization . ” Sandy Hudson, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto. ” ( sourced from here )
I am going leave you today with this very good link that clearly shows the level of stupidity some student groups and radical professors will do to incite violence . Here is a small taste : ” … At the University of Missouri, student and faculty protesters and faculty alliesforcibly barred student journalists from recording the public protest(which the journalists were legally entitled to do) and, when the journalists did not retreat fast enough, professor Melissa Click called out, “Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some more muscle over here. …” ( http://difficultrun.nathanielgivens.com/2015/11/25/when-social-justice-isnt-about-justice )
In Part 5 of this series, I will delve deeper into the radical , black lives matter group. Stay tuned ……………….
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 ……………..
I have stated that the Black lives matter movement is nothing more than a movement that wants to start of race war . Well, here is a video that outright PROVES this, coming directly from the horses mouth :
Meow everyone. In my last article , I discussed the whole black lives matter protest movement from the perspective of the radical student movement . I showed you all a short history of the early beginnings of the movement and have shown very conclusively just how overtly , openly and unapologetically racist this movement is . However, in this article, I wish to expand up on this but showing just how fake the movement is, as well, just how much of a double standard they have with respects to the deaths of black persons. In fact, I will show you how little they REALLY care about the deaths of other black persons , and when they do claim to “ care “ , they do so only when they can make a racial issue out of it.
A short time ago , In Toronto, there was a shooting at an after hours club in Toronto which resulted in several very serious injuries, and TWO DEATHS . This a gun crime as all the injured and killed where shot. The shootings took place early in the morning of the last day of the local , but internationally known Caribana festival. While there was no mention of any direct connection to the festival, the festival itself has had a long standing history of violence both directly within the festival itself, as well, festival related activities in other parts of the city. Shootings and stabbings while not numerous, do indeed happen here. In fact, at that exact same night club , at exactly the same time of year, there was another shooting . I highly doubt this to be a simple coincidence . Both events I speak of were hosted by a local rap artist and while I am not suggesting he is , has , or even had any knowledge of what would transpire at his event, somehow, I can only be left wondering if he really took every possible step to ensure a safe environment for the patrons. The club had plenty of highly visible security, as well, several uniformed police officers specifically assigned to this event. However, before the nigh was over, several people got shot, two of them would end up DEAD.
The two who died, where black persons . The shooter, while as yet unidentified by name , is purported also to be a black male . I am not certain how many of the injured are black persons.
To Black Lives Matter organizers. You made a huge spectacle of announcing to the world that two black people were shot by members of Toronto Police Service. Sadly , fatally in both cases. Bother of these persons were reported to be armed with weapons , a knife in one case, a hammer in the other. You accused police of being racist yet, you omitted a few facts here .
In the case of the person shot with a knife ….. he was a known , very violent drug dealer who presented a knife when confronted by officers. There is some question raised about whether the knife was removed by officers prior to the shooting investigation . I have learned that just one week before, the same person was involved in a physical confrontation with officers, to the point or reaching for the officers side arm. This same guy was known as a highly dangerous drug debt enforcer out in BC. His history was well known to police .
Many will argue that the guy had a knife, why was he then shot. As a person trained in the military, I can tell you without question that as close quarters, within about 25 feet, if a person is holding a knife , and an officer has his side arm holstered , the person holding a knife now lunges toward the officer, THERE IS NO WAS IN HELL THAT ONE CAN UNHOLSTER THE SIDE ARM BEFORE THE KNIFE WEILDING ATTACKER ATTACKS . Hence, the side arm is a legitimate defense against a knife wielding attacker.
These same detractors will then ask why doesn’t the cop aim for the arms or legs. Ya, right, a fast moving target …. NO, you aim for the largest point of the body .
Going back to the most recent club shooting , one of the persons who was shot and killed by the gun fire was out on bail for gun crimes, drug crimes and attempted murder charges . There were stories that he was actually an intended target since he was rumored to be a so called “ snitch “ . Often times, violent criminals will make deals with the prosecution to offer testimony in other criminal matters, against other criminals and as part of the deal, are offered a reduced sentence as part of the plea agreement. I am certainly not sure if this was the case here, I am simply stating what one outlet reported as being a possible case.
Why are the organizers of black live matter not angered by this loss of life?
A recent murder took place in York Region, another shooting that left two people dead. This took place in broad daylight . The shooter has been identified … a black male . The deceased where white persons, one female and one male . I do not know if this was a targeted shooting , however, given the location, the persons shot, I would have to speculate that indeed , the shooting was targeted. The female person shot and killed was reported to be an innocent person who just happened to be in the way.
Why is Black Live Matter remaining silent about this shooting?
Below , I have some screen shots of recent twitter fed posts detailing shooting occurrences and those who are being sought after as the ones wanted for these crimes . Most are black males. It appears that black males seem to be a largest segment of the population committing these violent crimes, yet, Black Lives Matter seems to turn a blind eye to these crimes . WHY?
With the above examples of ARMED dangerous criminals on the loose, do these professional protesting morons really expect that the cops would approach them , offer them a can of coke and ask them politely if they would be so kind as to come on over to the police station when it more convenient , or a more opportune time for the wanted person?
With these clear examples of wanted persons , all of them black males, I ask black lives matter , where is the out rage over this ? Why are you not protesting and blocking highways to END crimes committed by black males ? Why are you not issuing media released and photo ops in support of cops trying to capture violent criminals? Or, in your collective minds, is it perfectly fine for a black male to commit a violent crime but , when it comes to officers enforcing the law, you cry racism ?
The issue of carding persons has become a very hot topic for the Black Lives Matter movement. Carding is what police do when they stop a citizen for what can be for any reason. NO, police don’t stop anyone and everyone just because they feel like , they usually have a reason. The carding process is simply asking for ID, names address, and few details about the persons physical appearance, nothing more. As a street action photographer, I have been carded many times , its no big deal , not at all intrusive and it’s a great way for officers to engage with the community members , as well, it’s a very valuable tool for cops to use to solve crimes . We have all seen the TV shows where the cops have a : huntch “ about person or crime. Many crimes were solved this way, drugs found, guns taken off the streets because cops had a “ huntch “ about a person. This is NOT random, this IS experience .
The detractors of carding will tell you that this is a targeted, racist act . I say BULLSHIT . They will tell you that there is a disproportionate of black person on the list. BULLSHIT . It is only logical that if one lives in an area where the population is predominantly black, the numbers alone will indicate the the number of “ contacts “ between police and citizens will be increased and higher than in areas where the population has few black persons. For example, if one lives lives in Forest Hill, one will not find as many black persons as they would others.
So, to black lives matters …… in your minds, its racist and discriminatory if a black person is stopped by the cops and carded, but you are perfectly OK have white persons stopped and carded ?
I can raise many more such examples, however, I have made my point very clearly here. Black Lives Matters is a racist, organization that want to create community divisions, and they will go to any length, even invent scenarios to ensure the highest possible conflicts arise and they will use the most polarizing stories to create these divisions. They don’t really care who gets shot or killed, because if they really did care, they would be as “ outraged “ at the deaths as I wrote about above under those conditions, as there claim they are when black persons get killed at the hands of police. They claim that there is a disproportionate number of black persons in the prison system, but they forget to take into account who are the ones committing the crimes .
I want to end by reminding my readers about a guy who recently ran for student union office at the Ryerson Student Union . His words summed up exactly what Black Lives Matters is really all about. :
The fact is that ALL life matters … EQUALLY. When a group such as this uses the deaths of a certain group of people only to promote a certain agenda, they prove that they are really a racist group . This same group has never once uttered so much as one letter of the alphabet to draw attention to people killed in other gun crimes. Truth is, they don’t who dies, they only care about starting a race war.
Meow everyone. As many know, I started this blog to focus on the Ryerson Student Union and just how corrupt they are, as well as to show just what the Canadian Federation of Students , CFS really does for you as a student. I have shown conclusively that both organizations are nothing but money grabbing communists who never have, never will do anything but look after themselves. I have also shown just how openly racist they are . Today, I will show you that they intend to continue on a path of racism and pad their own pockets, with YOUR student fees.
Every year, in the spring, the CFS hold what they call their ” skills ” event. This event is designed to introduce new students to the world of the CFS and using their propaganda to indoctrinate, or brainwash these new recruits into the world of the CFS ….. and YOU get to pay for this . You be surprised to learn that as an average student , cannot attend this conference , as it is is INVITATION ONLY and the only ones invited are the students with the greatest potential to be radicalized . These students are very literally hand picked by the student unions of the schools they attend , and are usually friends of the executives members of those same student unions. I had a rare chance to attend years ago. The event was filled with self congratulatory speeches, overinflated , bloated ego’s , head organizers thinking they are all that with expectations of others ” worshiping them” . I recall two in particular , Joel Duff and Denise Hammond who were both revered by the attendees as almost god like entities , everyone wanted to bee seen around them, garner their favor. no questions asked. It was a two day event filled with absolutely nothing of any value. It WAS filled with almost a nazi-esk type of brainwashing where it was always ” us vs them ” . There was a very strong leaning to almost demand that participants become NDP supporters , regardless of what other political views were out there. I used the term nazi-esk just above. For those who are familiar with the CFS of today, they will know of Jeremy Salter. He is the ” supreme leader ” of this organization, ad as much as he is known for his strong desire to radicalize, his other trademark is his ” heil Hitler ” salute.
The CFS never has, and never will be a true student organization since they go out of their way to EXCLUDE the very students they claim to represent. They take on union ordered campaigns , or campaigns that their NDP handlers want, as long as it is radical . Enter the individual student unions .
Black Lives Matter
This is the latest professional protest movement out there and like with most other protest movements, the rogue student unions have jumped on the band wagon . Here is a very dried history of the origins of the black lives matter movement.
A group of 14 people had walked into the West Oakland BART station, hung a banner over the side that read “Black Lives Matter” — the adopted slogan of those who condemned the recent decision of a grand jury to refuse to punish a police officer, Darren Wilson, for shooting an unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Mo.
The protesters then walked into a BART car headed for San Francisco and locked themselves down to the safety rails inside with cables and bicycle u-locks. Then they locked themselves to each other, forming a human chain that extended out of the car and onto the platform. With the doors blocked, the train couldn’t leave the station. Their goal was to shut down BART for four and a half hours — the length of time that Michael Brown’s body lay in the street. They lasted about an hour and a half; the police ended up disassembling part of the BART car to remove them. ( sourced from : http://grist.org/politics/stopping-a-bart-train-in-michael-browns-name ) This was late November / early December 2014 .
The Ryerson Student Union was quick to jump onto this band wagon and they made very clear right from the onset, that they were going to openly discriminate against anyone who was not a black person . Here , you can see this in their own words :
They organized a well attended protest :
The organizers made it very clear as to what they wanted . Again, showing THEIR own words :
You see the name of Rodney Diverlus on top of one of these screen shots . Here is what Diverlus looks like :
Yes, was the President of the Ryerson Student Union , along with holding other executive positions , on YOUR student dollar. In fact, with his student executive salary and perqs, you paid him almost $40,000.00 a year …. did that for three years. For that, you got a racist idiot who wanted nothing to do with equality and equity. His own words clearly showed that . More on him in a moment.
Rodney has a sister, who, surprise, surprise , also ran for student executive , and again, shockingly is a key organizer with the black lives protest movement. Here she is :
It appears that racism runs in the family .
Here is yet another key organizer from Toronto :
Holy Cow, not another radical student union organizer …… Lena Peters as shown above .
Another of the key organizers of the Toronto version of the Black lives matter movement is a guy who was also , surprise, surprise, a recent president of the Ryerson Student Union, Rejean Hoilett as seen below :
Under the leadership of Rejean Koilett the then President of the Ryerson Student Union , this is what he allowed to take place :
” …
Two white students were barred from a meeting of the Racialized Students’ Collective March 11.
First-year journalism students Trevor Hewitt and Julia Knope were told that because they were not victims of racialization, they were not allowed to stay in the meeting room and report on the event.
Hewitt and Knope said they made eye contact with an unidentified woman who appeared to be setting up for the event. She approached Hewitt and Knope and asked if they had ever been racialized.
Hewitt said he then told the woman he wanted to cover the meeting for an assignment. He said the woman told him that because he was not a racialized student, he could not sit in on the meeting. Hewitt and Knope then left the room.”
“We don’t want (racialized) students to feel intimidated, that they can’t speak their mind because they are afraid of being judged or something they say might be used against them,” he said. “
” … When asked about Hewitt and Knope’s incident, Tanveer confirmed they couldn’t attend the meeting because they were white. … “
So far, as seen above, I have shown you how your student union not only promotes racial tensions, but indeed are actively participating , encouraging and promoting racial divisiveness with the student body , a student body that PAYS THEIR SALARY .
OK, so let me back up a bit and discuss Rodney Diverlus. He has a rather long history of being a radical idiot, dating back to the G20 . During the G20 riots, he was one of the student union organizers out there ” protesting ” , although if you ask him what he was actually protesting, he will have several stories to suite the moment .. His most famous line during these riots was the old stand by ” fuck the police ” chants . Diverlus claims to have been Born in Haiti, Diverlus started dancing ( he is a dance student at Ryerson University ) in Naples, Florida, where he lived with his family until they moved to Hamilton in 2005. His choreographic works have explored colonialism, diasporas, resistance, and occupation. As a choreographer, Rodney hopes to connect the issues he organizes around in the community and performance with the hopes of providing a means for liberation and agency to artists of colour. Well at least he has all the correct communist vocabulary down pat. He has taken every opportunity to remind everyone how oppressed he was a black male and a dancer . Sometimes, depending on the protest and crowd, he will throw in that he is an openly gay man , just to add a little more drama to his usual drivel . Sometimes, again , depending on the event, he will tell you he was from Miami Florida since there is a fairly large Haitian population there. his stories change with the protest , and does so to garner to greatest possible sympathy towards his protest of the moment.
Diverlus is as much of a drama queen as he is an attention seeker. He has always been about himself first and foremost. His tenure as a student union executive clearly showed this, as he has never accomplished anything as a leader, but was always front and center for photo ops and self promotion. He is one of these guys who thinks he is ” all that ” , when in fact, he is not even ” some of that ” .
You can see Rodney Diverlus involved in the g20 riot on Pape ave , far right wearing the white shirt. Note who is circled, none other than our famous Hitler saluting communist, Jeramy Salter and members of the Ryerson Student union executive.If you ;look at this image as well, look at the police officer at the center of this image , then look at the female directly over his right shoulder ( left side on the photograph ) and you will see yet another member of the Ryerson Student Union executive, Caitlin Smith, who, is now , a full time employee of the CFS. Over the same cops other shoulder is the guy who help start the York University race riots against Jewish Students a few years ago. So, as you can see here, we have a clear example of these guys and who they hang with and what they do . THESE ARE YOUR STUDENT LEADERS .
Now, lets turn our focus on his sister Pascale Diverlus, She too ran for student union office but in the last student union elections, she and her band of racists were soundly defeated when yours truly shot a video of their slate rigging and election by ballot stuffing. I later learned that she wanted to file ” hate crimes ” accusations against me because , as I heard it, she held me directly responsible for the slates brutal loss at the polls. an election they all but thought was theirs, with the campaigning merely a formality . She has worked at the Centre for Women and Trans People and volunteered for the RSU. She is also the director of events at the United Black Students Ryerson club, where Rodney is president.
So, now we move ahead. I have shown how the Ryerson Student Union, as it stood prior to the most recent elections , were some of the most racist idiots on campus. They may be gone from the campus, however, the CFS always has a place for useful idiots who are willing to take radicalization to new levels . I am sad to announce that Pascale Diverlus will continue her racial divide with an even bigger salary within the CFS and our former President Rejean ? Well, he is now the Chairman of the CFS Ontario . We are in for at least two more years of their racist crap at the expense of ALL students.
So, how moronic have they become of late? I will show you , using their own words in a moment. The whole Black Live Matter movement started because of several high profile cases where police officers shot and killed black males. The officers involved were all presumed to be white officers . To the protesters, it made no difference that the persons shot were in the act of committing serious crimes . Let me be clear here. I do NOT supporting killing anyone . However, what NONE of us know is what exactly took place that forced the officers to pull out their sidearm and fire. There could be a plethora of reasons for this so I don’t draw conclusions, simply put, I am not trained to draw them. NEITHER are the protesters trained to draw these conclusions. The protesters are also not trained investigators . Investigations like this take time, lots of time.
Fast forwarding to Toronto. two persons were shot and killed recently at the hands of police shootings. In one case, it was found that one person had a knife, and while certainly, it appears that errors were made in the way certain evidence was either collected to found, or both, we the public do NOT know the facts. A second shooting also took place some months later , sadly , also resulting in death . So, rather than allow trained , professional investigators to do their jobs, out band of professional protesters simple wanted to have the officer arrested and criminal charged …. all BEFORE the investigation was / is complete .
“ … Indict! Convict! Send that killer cop to jail! The whole damn system is guilty as hell! … ”
” … we are fed up with the anti-black violence inflicted by Toronto Police, and that we want justice. … ”
” … Police officers should not be able to issue summary executions at will. … “
The immediate release of the names of the officer(s) who Killed Andrew Loku.
