Meow everyone. Yes, you read this correctly, we did have an islamic terrorist attack in Toronto, but judging from the main stream media, you would never know it . Main stream media refuses to call this what it really was , a terrorist attack . Why was it an islamic terrorist attack ? According to Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders , as he stated in a news conference I attended and shot video of, the terrorist proclaimed that his pedophile prophet god allah told him to go and kill people. Here is the unedited video I shot of the news conference :
So, why is the Chief of Police not willing to make the big call and call it a terrorist attack ? In fairness to the chief, there are several reasons for this . The first of course being that this investigation is still VERY NEW and no where near all the facts are available. I understand the Chiefs cautiousness . The second reason that the Chief would not want to call it a terrorist attack is so as not to cause a city wide panic situation. lets be fair here. Toronto has not, until now, been attacked, although we most certainly do have a significant number of terrorist cells that have been discovered here, as well as Toronto being to home of convicted murdering international terrorist Omar Kahdr . The third logical reason for the Chief to not outright call this a terrorist attack, at least not yet , could be to avoid giving the terrorist / terrorist cells / terrorist organizations, the publicity they crave , and subsequently claim responsibility for enacting.
The Chief may be treading cautiously , however, i am calling it exactly what it is / was … a terrorist attack enacted my an islamic sack of shit .Below is what this sack of shit looks like :
Of all the nedia coverage there was around a ” stabbing ” in the area of Yonge and Sheppard, near wear this recruiting office is located , the only main stream media outlet that was willing to call it what it was was CityNews Toronto.
There has been a significant change to the method to which terrorists now operate . The old day would see very large scale actions, cause massive damage , death and destruction. Those large scale actions, while huge and having long lasting effects had their own serious side effects . The risk of getting caught was high, even before these acts were carried out, simply because of the number of people involved, and the ability for our global intelligence services to get information and thwart such massive attacks. While not always successful, many large scale attacks were stopped as a result of good intelligence. These pathetic scum bag terrorists needed to continue to enact their brand of hate somehow, so, much smaller, lone wolf styled attacks started to grow in popularity. Lone wolf attacks are far more difficult to stop, because often times, there are not real trails to latch onto , from an intelligence gathering point of view. A single person can travel virtually undetected , sometimes right under the noses of those intelligence agencies , as opposed to large scale movements which attract attention.
The type of attacks we here in Canada have had so far , have targets of Military members serving in uniform. In this first act of terrorism directed at our uniformed service personal , ” … The Canadian soldier who died a day after being run down by a suspected homegrown terrorist has been identified as 53-year-old Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. … ” In the second act of terrorism which once again targeted our uniformed military service personnel, , ” … The soldier who was killed was identified as Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, according to his aunt. Cpl. Cirillo, who was a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a regiment of Reserve Forces based in Hamilton, was training to join the Canada Border Services Agency … “
The act of terrorism that took place on Monday March 14, 2016 was in the exact same recruiting office where I , many years ago applied to and became a proud member of the Canadian Forces. This recruiting office was my first home in the military and hold a special place within me. My time in the military was filled with learning things like DUTY , HONOR , RESPECT , RESPONSIBILITY . My days as a member of the military may be over now but my commitment to my country m my sense of duty, my sense of national pride are as strong today as they were the day i signed on the dotted line. My duty to my country did not come with an expiration date and if I were to called to duty, i would be going in a heart beat, to what ever assignment my country needs me in…. ANYWHERE . I owe my sense of duty to a great, personal friend of mine who lead me by example , a Police Officer from 52 division , ( he literally just retired ) Thank you Officer Dave R. for leading us by your example, never preaching about right or wrong, , instead, showing us through sports and community involvement the virtues of duty and respect.
It is about time that the main stream media stop cow towing to these islamic nut cases , and call a terrorist attack , exactly what it is, and by whom. We are not interested in being politically correct any more , we don’t give a rats ass about so called diversity and we loath the favoritism the media plays to these groups while vilifying others that are not on the ” flavor of the month list ” . If mainstream media really cared about the REAL news, they would stop pandering to their corporate sponsors and instead, report the NEWS as it is , as its happening. Sadly, however, today, media agencies are noting more than glorified advertising agencies, who report to the highest bidder. Sadly, in the process, the totally disregard and ignore clear and obvious facts . I think that mainstream media as we know it is going to , in the not too distant future, either going to have to re-invent themselves to regain what credibility they once had, or, and this is the more likely scenario, independant media will be the true , real voice that the listen to.
Many many years ago, the CBC sent their lead reporters to ” finishing schools ” , to, as part of their need for better ratings, give them British accents. This done because at the time, it was believed that the public was more likely to ” trust ” a reporter with a British accent. Yes, even back then, the media was trying to control the viewer. My message to mainstream media, if you want my trust, if you want the trust of the public, do your jobs and report the FACTS as they are , NOT the BS ” party line ” your political affiliations want you to shill for them. To those in, independant media, you also have a responsibility . You need to call out these main stream outlets when they clearly and obviously with hold or distort the facts for their own agendas.
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 ?

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 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.

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.
” … 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, we looked at some of the people who both directly , and indirectly radicalize students . I have shown the level of danger these radicalized student can pose, ranging from rioting, to outright advocating for murder . However, one area that one cannot discount is that since students are very tech savey , students are exposed to other forms of radicalization, that, can be geared specific to their interests.
Computer and smartphone technology has come a very long way in a short time, and law enforcement , while doing a good job in keeping fairly up to date with the technological progress, are still, for the most part, playing catch up. This link shows the level of sophistication used by terrorist organization to recruit people, as well as pass along information to their followers.
Law enforcement needs to pay attention to these new technologies far more closely . The next terrorist act may be the one announced in these so called smart phone apps.
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. Sadly , we are were all witness in one form or another, the the terrorist attacks in France on November 13 2005 where radical muslims attacked and killed innocent citizens in a brazen terrorist attack. This was not the first such attack in France. Terrorists attacked a newspaper there, attacked innocent subway rider in London, flew airplanes into the heart of New York City, killed service persons on military bases , attacked navy ships, the list is endless. However, while we here in Toronto have our share of terrorists who made this city home, or at least a base of operations, we have been spared the horrors of an actually attack … FOR NOW .
Our police force with their law enforcement partners have been on top of these radicals, at least enough to either prevent or foil attacks. However, did their luck almost run out ?
WATCH here as Mark Carcasole explains what is known about the accident so far.
TORONTO – Police are still on the hunt for an unspecified number of suspects after several guns, including silencers and religious items were found in a car following a crash in North York Friday morning.
The single vehicle collision happened just before 4 a.m. ET. in the area of Allen Road and Transit Road.
Police said a call for a suspected impaired driver led police to the scene of the crash.
“Officer got there and they were told the car had left the road and hit the curb. When they found the car there was no one in it,” said Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash.
Police said the occupants of a black Mercedes fled the scene and members of the emergency task force were called in to provide assistance.
“We had police dogs out, we had the ETF, we borrowed a helicopter from a GTA police service,” Pugash said. “Anytime we find guns, several guns, we take the matter seriously.”
The subsequent investigation led police to the discovery of two handguns, one machine gun, two silencers, small amounts of ammunition and religious items inside the vehicle.
Although police did not reveal the exact nature of the religious items, they don’t believe it is relevant to this case.
“They have made it very clear. They regard this as going to a guns and gang direction and the religious material at this point has no relevance to that,” said Pugash.
Police have not released any description of the suspects and are unclear how many people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
The vehicle has since been seized and police said it will be examined for further evidence.
The intersection was closed for the investigation but reopened to traffic just before 6 a.m. ET.
Wait a second. I know what my readers will be asking. One of the stories stated that there was no immediate danger to the public … only small amounts of ammunition was found .
Usually, from numerous past media explanations of these sort of police related activities, the media has no problem stating exactly what was found. OK, true, the police media officer shares the events and decided what to share and not, however, and my apologies to the Toronto Police Service if it appears that I am jumping to conclusions here … however, ….. RELIGIOUS BOOKS. this sounds very much like an attempt to minimize or reduce the apprehension many have against muslims rights now , and if it was indeed a Qoran that was found, and so stated, this could have put the public into a state of possible panic. Secondly, fact is, our main stream media right now is again cow towing to the radicals so they too would want to minimize the effect it would have if it was indeed a Qoran , and they so stated it .
Next thing that seems very odd here is that since this took place several days ago, there has been no further public information, at least not to my knowledge . I can see this as well, as an attempt to not stir up the public fear into a panic like state.
The proximity of this event should also be of some note. Yes, while it was early in the morning, this location is a major public transit hub of both surface buses and subway trains . This area is also in very close proximity to one of Torontos very prominent Jewish areas so this cannot not be ruled out either. Yes, the minimal amount of ammunition found, or at least claimed to have been g found , plus the finding of drugs could suggest that a possible drugs for ammo trade was potentially in the works by these criminals .
Now let me be the first to say that I admit to arriving at my postulations sans any hard evidence that actually supports my theory , therefore, my theory is exactly that, a theory, speculation. However, I also don’t think it is that far of a stretch to arrive at the theory i arrived at , especially based on the established facts of terrorists now doing more one wolf styles actions with smaller weapons which are easier to hide and transport. Regardless of whether I am way off base, or indeed, my theory has a chance of being a reality, my hats to the Toronto Police Service for stopping what huge and obviously deadly crime these weapons would have unleashed upon the citizens of this city
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,

In the next installment, i will expand upon this article . Stay tuned ……………..
Meow everyone. I my last article, I introduced you all to some methods used to radicalize the young, at an early age to certain doctrines and ideologies which are consistent with today’s brand of terrorism . Universities and in particular , radical student unions and organizations play a very significant role in targeting and training these future troublemakers . For those who have been following my blog over the many years, you will have known me to make many references to the Canadian Federation of Students , or CFS for short. in this article, I will show you how they are directly involved in the radicalization process , and who is doing the radicalizing, and how.
The radicalization begins with the first second on the campus of a CFS affiliated university . The target group are primarily first year students . The target group within this small group are students in either journalism or social work programs. These students within these area of studies have ready make , well trained , seasoned radicals already well i place to mentor these new recruits . There are well healed third and forth year students there in place to guide the new students along, as well, these programes, have some of most radicalized professors to teach these new students the ropes . Ryerson University has a plethora of these highly radical professors to pick from.
Winni Ng is a ” … Labour rights activist and scholar Winnie Ng has joined Ryerson University as the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy. The CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy is the first union-endowed chair at a Canadian university. In her role, Ng will build upon the work of inaugural chair Judy Rebick, a well-known journalist, author and activist who was first appointed in 2002. The chair’s mandate is to create a hub of interaction between social justice activists and academics at Ryerson. Ng holds a MA and PhD from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Her doctoral studies focused on re-imagining the labour movement from an anti-racism perspective. … “ ( sourced from http://www.ryerson.ca/socialjustice/about/Winnie_Ng )
While people such as Ng would most certainly not risk their well paid careers and union backing to personal engage in violent actions, the have no trouble giving speeches endorsing such actions and in some cases, even endorsing certain high profile domestic terrorists . ( more on that shortly )
Judy Rebick was ” … the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy at Ryerson University in Toronto. Judy was the founding publisher of rabble.ca, Canada’s most popular progressive online publication. She is the author of several books, the most recent of which is Transforming Power: From the Personal to the Political. You can visit her website to read her blog and learn more about the book. Judy also wrote Ten Thousand Roses: The Making of a Feminist Revolution during her time at Ryerson. Judy also co-hosts Reel Women, a movie review podcast on the rabble podcast network.
For most the 1990s, Judy was the host of a national TV show on CBC Newsworld. Previously, she was president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Canada’s largest women’s group.
Since she started in August 2002, Judy has initiated and participated in many projects, including:
Gathering of Mother Earth Protectors, a three-day sleepover at Queen’s Park in June, 2008, organized with the communities of K.I. First Nation, Ardoch First Nation, Grassy Narrows First Nation, as well as a broad cross-section of local, national, and international social justice and environmental groups. This event raised awareness among Ontario politicians, media, and public about the rights of First Nations communities to protect their land from corporations who wish to extract their natural resources, and to protest the jailing of members of these communities who blocked these corporations from their lands.
The Anti-Racism Taskforce at Ryerson University
The Toronto Social Forum, which started with a large social forum event in 2003, and continued to bring together the broader social justice community across Toronto afterwards through a large e-mail list for activist event announcements across Toronto, and by holding various report-back events with Torontonians who have visited international social forums over the years. In January of 2008, the Gindin Chair brought together many activist groups across the city for a “decentralized” World Social Forum event in Toronto here at Ryerson called “Another World is Possible: Cultures of Resistance”.
An international conference, “Building Power: Social and Political Transformations in Latin America” at Ryerson in April of 2007, with activists from all over Latin America sharing their experience at building new paths to equality and social justice with Canadian activists in a North-South dialogue.
A lecture series in October 2002 with a talk by well-known British author, political commentator and editor of Red Pepper, Hilary Wainwright on Participatory Democracy.
The Gindin Debates with a debate on copywright and the Internet in October, 2002. The debate was webcast on rabble.ca. These were debates among progressives designed to explore an issue, defining differences, but also seeking common ground…. ” ( sourced from : http://www.ryerson.ca/socialjustice/about/judy_rebick )
I mentioned above how certain so called ” activists ” , well paid , well people with the university systems actually open endorse domestic terrorists. Rebbick is , in my opinion just such a person . She had, as a guest speaker in one of her ” lectures ” a well known and highly dangerous domestic terrorist, Alex Hundert , someone who, at the time was legally forbidden to to speak at, or even attend gatherings were other like minded people would attend. Rebbick is nothing more than a loud mouthed , foul mouthed blow hart who has done nothing for decades , but uses her position and past reputation ( from decades past ) to inspire future generations to be the same blow hart neanderthal she has become. The thought of someone actually looking up to her is a sad sight in of itself .
Here is a video Of Rebbiks event at which Hundert , a convicted felon was speaking, against court ordered bail conditions :
This brazen act of openly flaunting a legal order showed the assembled that is was perfectly fine to break laws . This is a tool used by these so called ” social justice warriors ” as they call themselves to recruit new bodies into the fold. These highly dangerous criminals are placed on pedestals for the new, unsuspecting minds to soak in every word spoken. However, even before these events, the new student gets exposed , in very low keyed ways , to the ways of the radicals that openly target the new students.
Pamela Palmater is ” … a Mi’kmaq lawyer whose family originates from the Eel River Bar First Nation in northern New Brunswick. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Ryerson University. In addition to her faculty appointment as an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Dr. Palmater holds the Chair in Indigenous Governance, and is also a member of the Yeates School of Graduate Studies, affiliated with the MA program in Public Policy and Administration…. “ She has been referred to as one who was a ” … trailblazing role model for young Indigenous women, planting seeds of change that are transforming Indigenous communities across Canada … “ ( sourced from : http://www.ryerson.ca/politics/about-us/personnel/faculty/palmater-pamela.html )
The above three depicted individuals obviously do not personally enact violence themselves , but they certainly do know the ones who do . We have already shown how Judy Rebick promoted and and even supported violent and convicted anarchists such as Alex Hundert , regardless of what legal orders were in place on him. Palmater supported to goons who burned police cars in New Brunswick , and Winnie Hg supports violent unions …. all three are : socialists ( communists ) What makes them dangerous is that they are in a position where they use academia to give an aura of legitimacy to what they believe in / their brand of so called activism . They use this to slowly shape young unsuspecting minds early on as to what is , in THEIR view, legitimate . They can teach hate , without calling it hate . They can teach how to avoid those who ask the ” wrong ” questions and thus, label them as ” troublemakers to the cause ” . Judy Rebick and Winnie Ng by their support for the occupy Toronto movement did a masterful job at this by their support for a totally illegal action and lending her name as a high profile supporter.
York university has its very own high profile supporter of the most violent of organization, OCAP . In fact she is not only an organizer with them, she is also married to another even higher profile organizer . I am referring to York University sociology professor Lesley Wood .
Lesley Wood ( above is the partner of the highly radicalized OCAP and No One is Illegal organizer MacDonald Scott ( below ) . Scott is a huge supporter of violence and is a highly respected anarchist within that community.
Orientation week at CFS affiliated universities has NOTHING to do with orienting the student to the university. It DOES, however, have everything to do with the well placed radicals who run the student unions, to bring these new students ” into the fold ” . These new students are, in many cases, away from home for the first time ever, are looking to make new friends and to find a way to fit in. Along comes the radical student union, and their leaders . who offer these new unsuspecting students exactly what they are looking for. Within this orientation week of activities, is a week dedicated to DIS-orientation . this is a stand alone week just for radicals , and radicals in the making. This is a week where the radical campus groups are introduced to the students, with high emphasis placed on supporting these groups. Withing these groups are organizations such as anarchist groups and of course OCAP . For those who need a reminder of what OCAP is about , here are some videos that show case the level of urban terrorism they openly advocate and engage in :
It goes downhill from here . This next video, while shot outside Canada, shows clearly what these so called ” social justice warriors ” are actively, openly advocating .
I have posted this video here to show exactly what is really being supported by the radical student unions . Of late ( meaning , over the past few years ) , there has been an even increasing , and escalating series of attacks against Israel , however, these attacks where also attacks of Jewish students here, through various protests and actions.
The issue around Israel may be polarizing, but one thing is very clear. Israel has the right to defend herself in the face of blatant terrorist attacks against the Jewish people there, daily . The video I posted above shows clearly how random these anti Jewish attacks are , as well, are directed at anyone who is Jewish. Here is an example of an incident that took place in 2009 at the University of Toronto, another very pro CFS run student union : ( sourced from : http://thentherewaslight.com/547_statemen-student-assaulted-at-u-of-t )
A few people have asked me this morning about what happened last night at UofT. I attended the Israel Apartheid Week event with a few friends and was prepared to ask a couple questions. The girl sitting next to me asked a question to one of the speakers about the problems with Hamas’s Charter. The speaker answered the question by discussing occupation and Israel’s “racist” policies, etc, instead of actually addressing the issue of Hamas’s Charter and denial of Israel’s right to exist. A couple people in the crowd, including myself, shouted out to the speaker “answer the question!” (It is generally fair game at these events where there are more activists present than observers to request that the speaker focus on the question asked). At this point, one of the (probably unlicensed) private security guards hired by SAIA approached me from behind. When I turned around in my seat to look at him, he grabbed and squeezed the back of my neck and growled at me from about 10 inches in front of my face “you shut the fuck up! shut the fuck up!” At this point I kept my cool moved back and I was like “get away from me bro, don’t touch me!” One of the event organizers called for someone to ask the police standing outside in the hallway to come in to remove me for “causing a disruption” at which point I encouraged the police to come in to record the name and identity of the individual who assaulted me. I left the room promptly and reported the incident to the police. I will be filing a formal report later today with Metro Police.
I personally believe in freedom of speech and that students should be allowed to book lecture halls to present speakers who express radical, even extreme views. The presence, however, of (probably) unlicensed, private security gaurds wearing bullet proof vests and leather jackets who physicaly assault people who speak up against those radical, extreme views, must be confronted. SAIA must not be allowed to bring hired goons onto campus to intimidate people who oppose their views. I feel ashamed as a UofT alumnus.
Tonight at the U of T [Israeli Apartheid Week] event,
two Jewish students were assaulted by the Palestinian “Security” team
for being “disruptive” (asking a legitimate question “does Israel have
a right to exist”) The Palestinian “security” smacked a student in the
head and grabbed him by his neck, while another “security” officer told
a second Jewish student to “Shut the F**ck up or he’ll saw his head
off”…All of this was done in a crowded lecture room with over 100
witnesses!!
I was there, there are no pictures, filming and taking pictures was prohibited (they seem to have a problem with the general public hearing what they say) it was reported to the police who chose (as usual) to do NOTHING…
Atlas has the full story from a courageous student who was there. Here are some images from last night. I will not run the name of the student reporter. I don’t want them to get their skull cracked by the adherents of the religion of peace.
While last night had higher profile anti-Zionists and anti-Semites, what with Naomi Klein and Sid Ryan, tonight had greater righteous indignation of the “oppressed Fakestinians”.
Notably, with Jews visible in the audience, the audience was repeatedly told from the dias that no photography or recording of any type was allowed by anyone without “media clearance”.
On a number of occasions organizers tried to force me to depart with my camera, though I had not taken even one shot. i told them that when everyone with a cell-phone leaves or gives up their phone i will give up my camera too.
Later, during questions, organizers, ” security”, surrounded the area where visible Jews were seated. A Jew asked a question: “Is Hamas’s charter racist “? That question then become the focus of vitriole, the “security” closed in around the Jews, security then started to push the Jews, then the dias demanded that the Jew leave the room. The Jew replied out loud that he would not depart unless told to do so by the Police. They came in from the lobby, and that ensued.
While this went on, I pulled out my camera and started to shoot. All manner of people closed in around me, and tried to obscure my lens. I got a few shots, and left for the lobby to catch the newly-evicted Jews’ fate. Organizers were demanding my photos, and my name. They got neither, though it will be next to impossible to be anonymous tomorrow.
For my efforts, a Police Sergeant came up to me and pushed me out the front doors using his chest and flack-jacket against my chest. I asked him why i was being pushed out the doors and he said that. “you know why”. Why? Because I look Jewish? Because I was photographing the altercation started by the islamo-fascists? OR, because he is brown ? Oh, but I can’t make that silly, facetious, suggestion, all while being profiled myself ……….
As for the speakers: a communist Ryerson sociology prof; a racist, hijab-wrapped, student VP of YFS ( York Federation of Students ), who should likely better spend her time fighting female circumcision and misogyny in her own ethnic community; a U of T student who’s family was from Haifa, and who’s father was the student president at Bir Zeit in the 80’s and was imprisoned; a Mohawk student espousing common objectives with supporters of Hamas ………………
We had representation with flags and bodies outdoors, and kudos to all those to came out.
Tomorrow will be worse at York.
We see here a clear pattern where the radicalization of students comes from several areas. we are seeing high profile people involved who are directly involved with students as professors . However, there is an even greater, more sinister group that directs these unsuspecting students into a life that started out as average and ordinary , but in the right setting and atmosphere, is quickly, methodically , cleverly molded into one were soon, the student is totally encapsulated with radicalism that nothing else matters. This is done by the heads of radical student organizations and the CFS , who, for the most part, lurk in the shadows , surfacing when they need bodies to voice THEIR cause.
A very clear example of the power student leaders have , RADICAL student leaders , is an event that took place in 2009 at York University . An anti Israel riot broke out lead by one of the then heads of the York Federation of Students, a very PRO CFS organization . The quote below are sourced from here at : http://www.cjnews.com/living-jewish/jewish-learning/jewish-students-siege-york-u
” …While anti-Israel protested called on York President Mamdouh Shoukri to cut academic ties with Israel, pro-Israel students tried to “drown out the hate with peace…” ” … Within the past two weeks, a Jewish student at York received a death threat against him and his family, while another Jewish student was allegedly assaulted by a member of an anti-Israel campus group. In two other incidents, a mob chanting anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slurs trapped Jewish students inside the campus Hillel lounge, and an anti-Israel rally was held in Vari Hall rotunda. … ”
” … Jewish students are tired of being bullied by anti-Israel groups that intimidate people who don’t support them, and they responded by staging a counter-protest that attracted nearly 200 students. … ”
” … Students Against Israel Apartheid were there with their crew, the Tamil Tigers were there with their whole crew and Krisna Saravanamuttu, the YFS’ vice-president of equity, was there as well … ”
” …Among the slurs shouted by the mob were “Die Jew,” “Get the hell off campus,” “Go back to Israel,” and “F—ing Jew,” Hillel said in a statement. Michael Payton, a York student who witnessed the incident, posted a note on Facebook saying that he saw the YFS’ Saravanamuttu leading the mob. … “
So, just who exactly is Krisna Saravanamuttu ? At that time, he was an executive with the YFS and is not a full time staffer at the CFS .
At an unrelated Sri Lanken protest rally at Queens Park some months later , he re-affirmed his ” FULL SUPPORT : of the Tamil Tigers , another internationally recognized terrorist organization …. saying this as a representative of university students in Ontario who are members of the CFS .
So far , I have only touched upon some of the key players , however, there are many others. In part 3, I will continue this by showing what other university student union leaders have bee up to and what they either promote or support. As always, names and faces will be shown .
