Meow everyone, when was the last time you heard that line ? Does the 2010 G20 come to mind ? Well, you may have forgotten about much of those days, but I have not. In fact, much of this blog was created to expose those responsible for those riots . . For those who need a small reminder, here is a graphic of those who were the direct organizers , and thus, responsible for the selection of what was to be destroyed and rioted :
Pay particular attention to names lists as Number 1 , and number 14 . , then, match those person with this fairly recent ( february of 2016 image )
Depicted in the above image , but not shown in the first image is one of Canada”s most violent, most dangerous anarchists, Jaggi Singh. Here are a few words , directly from them the are clear tell tale signs of their danger to a civil society :
So, as this screen shot image taken from Mandy Hiscocks image files shows, and leads me to ask the question, … just what evil do they have stored for us in the upcoming future ?
The usual crowd of malcontents have been too quiet , lets help them stay that way shall we ….
Meow everyone . Last weekend there was a protest in Toronto with respects to a pipeline being built in the USA . These ” protestors ” claimed to be peaceful protestors . One such professional protestor is a guy named John Fox . He will protest pretty much anything, try and bait police into arresting , then, he will claim police brutality . John fails to realize that there were many cameras at this event, mine included. While John may have delusions of events that never actually took place, in fact, the reality , as the video will conclusively show, tells a vastly different story. Here is an example of his tactics :
Here he claims that the police man handled him . The image he provides as part of his post certainly would make it appear that indeed , this is what took place.HOWEVER, John, there where several cameras present, including mine, who shot the ENTIRE video of this ” manhandling : you lay claim to. The cameras dont lie John, even if you do , as seen here in this video of John Fox Sr. a professional protestor who is clearly seen trying to attack police , NOT the other way around :
Earlier in the same week, another group of the same type of professional protestors decided to invade a bank with some moronic demands . No professional protest is complete without a human shield as seen here :
…and naturally, a professional protest needs the ” heavenly intervention ” card being played :
I wonder if they get a bulk purchase discount on locks :
Meow everyone. A few weeks ago, I posted a short note that I was ( and am continuing to ) work on a huge story about the G20 that took place back in the summer of 2010 . I know , myself included, have , still , a lot of unanswered questions about what took place , and why ? However, what if I told you that this may have been a part of a far bigger, more sinister plan , and WE were to the one who were about to make this plan come to fruition.
Yes this does sound crazy, however, I had a great discussion with my very good friend Greg of https://kitty.protestnerd.com , and after several hours of discussing this and other related, and similar events, I have to conclude that he is absolutely correct in his observation . We lost this city during that famous Tamil protest which closed a major expressway in Toronto for days, with the police doing nothing about it … THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN . , We had the G20 riots , the police seemingly allowed this to go ahead , we had the occupy movement which created a serious and dangerous environment, and again, the police did nothing to stop it . We had the OCAP city hall riot, and again, very little police resistance . There was Idle no more and again in nothing . Today we have black lives mater and again, zero resistance .
I have spoken with officer after officer , and they all related very similar stories about how they were rendered ineffective by command and politicians who had their own agendas . So, were is my story ? Well, this is all part of the story I am digging deeply into . However, after speaking with Greg, I have to write this from a much different angle , because the reasoning is far greater than what i had originally considered . Each of the above mentioned events ,were on their own big and could have been shut down quickly , but was not. I now believe that all of these events were and are indeed connected to a much great , much more dangerous plan . People , we are in deep trouble if this is allowed to become reality .
What was it that Greg said that made me refocus this single focused story anyway ? Greg mentioned ” Transformative Change ” . I am not going to get to deep into that because that is a story Greg is working on and he should be the one to post it first, since it is his idea and theory . I do, however, agree with him. Another good friend of mine , Lawrence McCurry mentioned , years ago , about the formation of a one world government . They may both be on to something big here , and they saw this before I did .
Meow everyone. Yesterday, the larges t mass shooting in the history of the USA occurred in Florida . This shooting was carried our in the name of ISIS, the international terrorist organization bent on destroying the west and anything that has anything to do with western culture. The terrorist killed at least 50 innocent people who where enjoying a night out in a local bar which has been identified a a well known and well respected gay bar . We have all heard about and seen images of how islam treats person who identify as being gay so i am not going to re-post those image here. We already know how this same religion despises gay people … but wait, aren’t they, the so called , religion of peace ?
These events , do, however, need to remain in our minds , because i just a few short weeks,we here in Toronto will be host the largest gay pride parade in the world . This event is known to attract well over one million people to enjoy the fun and festivities. There is, however, a very serious problem we do have right here, in Toronto that no one is willing to address. Make no mistake, yesterdays act of terrorism was tragic beyond comprehension, however, while that gut was directly connected to and had sworn himself to ISIS , right here in Toronto, Black lives matters Toronto, is connected to another, equally dangerous terrorist organization. Black lives matter will be leading this years parade. However THIS is what black lives matters is really all about and THIS clearly shows just how connected they are to the international terrorist organization , the Muslim Brotherhood :
“Black Lives Matter” working with Islamist Group in Canada
The Muslim Students Association and “Black Lives Matter” had their display tables set side by side at the recent University of Ottawa “Islam Awareness Week.” During the full week of 07 March 2015, the two groups handed out books to students and staff at the university and spread their ideology.
The Muslim Students Association (MSA), was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood as one of its front groups with an eye towards recruitment and education.[1]
All of those from the MSA seemed to be Sunni Muslim. None were Ahmadiyya, Ismaili or Shia. An individual asked about the lack of representation of other Muslim groups stated they did not know why this was occurring.
Multiple books were handed out. One was the Qur’an in English, while two others explained that all the scientific progress in modern civilization is to be found in the Quran and the Sunnah.
The third book handed out was on ISIS and essentially tried to explain that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. When questioned, an individual at one of the booths stated that the West and the media are the ones who make a bad image of Islam. When pushed, this individual said there were no internal contradictions or problems within the faith.
The presence of a “Black Lives Matter” booth is consistent with the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood front groups in North America. Attempts by Islamist groups to exploit the black community to their advantage are not new. The most recent examples were seen in Ferguson Missouri when CAIR USA (Council on American Islamic Relations) made repeated attempts to inject itself and the Islamist ideology into events there.[2]
CAIR USA itself is a listed terrorist group in the United Arab Emirates[3]as well as being identified as a front group for HAMAS, itself a Muslim Brotherhood entity.
Ironically, the second most influential person in the Muslim Brotherhood (Sayed Qutb) spent two years in the United States and made incredibly racist statement about blacks. The most infamous one was:
Jazz – This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other. The American’s intoxication in “jazz” music does not reach its full completion until the music is accompanied by singing that is just as coarse and obnoxious as the music itself. Meanwhile, the noise of the instruments and the voices mounts, and it rings in the ears to an unbearable degree….[4]
The University of Ottawa
The University of Ottawa is famous, or perhaps infamous, for its list of alumni who have gone on to become jihadist fighters and other major players in the Islamist world. This includes Al Qaeda financier and Human Concern International board member Ahmed Said Khadr from the 1980s and John (Yahya) Maguire who did a propaganda film for ISIS in 2015. Both were radicalized while associated to the Muslim Student Association at the University of Ottawa. As noted by Michelle Sheppard of the Toronto Star on her history of Omar Khadr (Ahmed’s son), the Muslim Student Association was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood.[5]
The University of Ottawa Prayer Room
The University of Ottawa should probably close its common prayer room. The Quilliam Foundation, the world’s leading de-radicalization organization, has stated that Islamist Muslims tend to try to take over common area prayer rooms and create ‘Muslim-only’ areas. Rather, these rooms should allow for other faith adherents to use these facilities.
The Quilliam Foundation also notes that university authorities should ensure prayer rooms do not become an Islamist underworld, a centre for Muslim students to withdraw between lessons and thus avoid extra-curricular interaction with other students. The result of this form of activity is that Wahhabbist and Salafist literature then tends to dominate, the ideology spreads and there is the attempted exclusion of others.[6]
At the University of Ottawa prayer room, students report that Muslim students tell them they cannot enter the room with their shoes on, even if the event is non-Muslim. They also report that they cannot find out how to book the room and their efforts are blocked.
It is not clear who controls the room. The Community Services office (3rd floor) normally controls all bookings for common rooms. They, however, appear to indicate this is the one room they do not control. Their suggestion is to go to the Student Federation, which also claims to not know. However, they suggest that the VP Social of the Student Federation (Hadi Wess) might be responsible, but that cannot be confirmed.
Of current interest, it should be noted that the same problem is occurring at Montreal’s Maisonneuve College. Students who are sympathizers of ISIS have attempted to take over some sections of the library and had done the same to the prayer room/common space, resulting in its closure. Students at Maisonneuve had reported they were afraid of Muslim students in those areas. Violence has occurred during the course of the attempted takeovers and the staff at the college fear for their safety.[7] This is occurring in Canada this year!
Other universities have already closed prayers for reasons of Islamist extremism such as the Technical University of Berlin, the Technical University of Dortmund and the University of Essen Duisburg in Germany.[8]
University of Ottawa and the Muslim Brotherhood
A number of individuals at the university have close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. While some can be found in the engineering faculty, the most interesting may be Dr. Aliaa Dakroury, who was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication from 2008 to 2012; at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication from 2005 to 2010; and Departments of Sociology and Anthropology and Law from 2008 to 2011. She is now an Associate Professor and School Director of the Social Communications Program at Saint Paul’s University in Ottawa. Dr. Dakroury is the managing editor of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS).[9]
What is not noted, however, is that the AJISS is the official journal of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). The IIIT is the think tank of the Muslim Brotherhood[10] and was created as such in 1981, ironically enough by a Canadian of Palestinian origin. Ismail al-Faruqui left Montreal Canada in about 1978 and created the IIIT in 1980. The organization was founded following an international conference of “major Muslim Brotherhood figures, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Al Qaradawi, in Lugano, Switzerland in 1977. The conference was held under the auspices of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists’, itself a spinoff of the Muslim Student Association, the Muslim Brotherhoods first public front group in North America.[11]
Dr. Faruqui was stabbed to death, along with his wife, in 1986 by Joseph L. Young (aka Yusuf Abdul Ali). The IIIT and others have attempted to pass off this murder as a Zionist or CIA plot, but the criminal investigation and trial showed that the murderer, Mr. Young, was a Black Muslim convert. He claimed, with some evidence, that he killed Faruqui and his wife due to his poor treatment within the organization, despite having converted to Islam. Racism may have been a factor.
The Closing of the Prayer Room
Should the University of Ottawa consider closing its common prayer room? Given the problems at the University of Ottawa, as well as those observed at Algonquin College, Maisonneuve College and many others, this is a question worth considering.
We need to wake up and realize that these groups are there for one thing and one thing only : to destroy us, our way of life, our freedoms, our liberties. If the events in Florida were sad and disgraceful, which they were, we must learn from this and become PROACTIVE . This cancer must be stopped. We need to give our security services, our law enforcement agencies the tools and the powers to act to eradicate these terrorist once and for all .. because , one day, soon, these terrorists will try to do that with us . I HIGHLY encourage everyone that if you see, hear of or know of anyone who acts, suspiciously , call the police. Welcome to 2016 ….
Meow everyone. My readers already know that I have been monitoring the black lives matters organization here in Toronto, where, I have already shown that they are connected to the muslim brotherhood terrorist organization, were one of the head organizers and founders of this organization has proven herself to be a out right racist , very much along the lines of Adolf Hitler. and his Nazi party. However, in this article, I am going to show just deeply flawed this organization is, by way of what they deliberately leave OUT in their diatribe of hate and race baiting.
One of the things that this organization was all over was the death of a criminal named Jermaine Carby . Now, there is no question that he was shot and killed by a police officer . However, what black lives matters kind of, sort of , FORGOT to share was the important facts about this little monster. So, I will fill in the omitions of black lives matters in relation to Carby .
” … The Peel police officer who fatally shot Jermaine Carby in 2014 told a coroner’s inquest Friday that he would change nothing about how he handled the confrontation.
Const. Ryan Reid shot Carby three times in September 2014 when police say a routine traffic stop in Brampton escalated into a heated encounter involving a knife.
“I would not do anything differently,” Reid told the inquest Friday.
Reid testified that his partner had told him there was a warrant out for Carby’s arrest and he had previously attempted “suicide by police.” It was revealed Thursday that Carby had sought treatment for depression days before his death.
Police previously testified that the incident escalated when officers asked the 33-year-old for his name and identification and found outstanding warrants for his arrest in British Columbia.
Reid said that’s when Carby became agitated, pulled a knife from the waistband of his pants and shouted: “Shoot me, shoot me.” A video displayed in court showed police saying: “Drop the knife, drop the knife,” before shots were fired.
Reid demonstrated for those in the courtroom how Carby stood when confronting police.
“I have to live with this every single day of my life,” he told the inquest, adding he was convinced he and his partner’s lives were at risk.
Reid testified he was left with no other choice but to fire his weapon and would repeat his actions under the same circumstances.
‘I wanted to stop the threat’
In other inquests into police shootings, it has been revealed that police officers are trained to use lethal force when facing a threat.
“The last thing I wanted to do was kill Mr. Carby,” the constable said. “I wanted to stop the threat.”
Outside the Brampton courthouse, Carby’s mother expressed frustration with what she heard Friday.
“Even a dog or a cat, you don’t kill like that,” she told reporters. “How are you going to say that you would have not changed anything?”
The Special Investigations Unit cleared the officers involved in the shooting of any wrongdoing in July 2015.
The inquest will continue with testimony from forensic experts to reveal more details on Carby’s wounds and evidence related to the knife. … “
So, Carby was stopped, pulled a knife, was order to drop it and refused.
So what was C arby actually wanted for out in BC with these outstanding arrest warrants ? These warrants that black lives matters Toronto fails to make even the most minute mention of ? Well, anyone with even a single function brain cell can find that answer .. anyone but black lives matters Toronto. Fear not, I will share it here in the hopes that even the most stupid of that bunch will be able to find someone with enough intelligence to read it to them .
Accused killer preyed on Downtown Eastside women: Vancouver police
Hmmm, so he is an accused murderer.
” … VANCOUVER — A violent drug trafficker charged with killing a man and beating two women may have many more victims, police say.
A violent drug trafficker who killed a person … possible more victims
Vancouver Police Insp. Brad Desmarais appealed today to people in the Downtown Eastside to come forward if they have been victimized by Jermaine Anthony Carby.
Carby was charged with manslaughter Sept. 9 in the stabbing death Gerald Haakmat in Oppenheimer Park June 1.
Was also previously charged with killing a person
But the VPD investigation has shown he has terrorized others for drug debts, Desmarais said.
Previously terrorized other over drug debts .. enforcer
“This past Monday, Jermaine Carby was also charged for allegedly assaulting two women in the Downtown Eastside in late August,” he said.
Has assaulted at least two other women
“We believe there are more victims out there who are too afraid to come forward, so today we are taking the extraordinary step of releasing a photograph of Jermaine Carby and making an appeal to the community to bring forward information about him to police.”
Desmarais said Carby uses several different street names, “so we know that by releasing his photograph we will have a better chance of learning valuable information that will help move forward additional ongoing investigations.”
In typical criminal fashion, he used aliases
He said Carby has a criminal record dating back to 2000 in Ontario and has had over 100 contacts with VPD since then.
Lengthy criminal record
“Despite the fact that Jermaine Carby has a residential address in Surrey, he is one of the most well known street level enforcers in the Downtown Eastside, with a long history of violence, drug trafficking and drug possession,” Desmarais said, adding that Carby has been charged 28 times in the past.
Long history of violence , drug trafficking, enforcer
“It has long been known that people living in the Downtown Eastside fear reprisal for talking to the police. Sadly, violence against women here often goes unreported and remains underground, with many suffering at the hands of ruthless drug dealers, he said.
“Violent drug dealers can exist with impunity in this community and commit violent acts against women and men alike, because they know people are too afraid to talk to police.”
Desmarais said that because Carby is now locked up, it is safe for people to come forward.
“Now is the time for the community to have a voice, and fight back against the fear and intimidation that these drug dealers thrive on,” Desmarais said.
“Information can be reported through 9-1-1, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or the Sister Watch Tip Line at 604-215-4777.” … “
Oh yes, he was a good little boy , cops clearly had no reason to fear for their safety … NOT .
So, Tanya, ya, you can go on all day about how the cops shot him, but why don’t you share these important details as well ? Oh , right, you want to fuel a race war and these convenient omissions would sway many away from your pathetic movement. I am curious though. With this guys obvious love of violence , especially violence against women , were are all of you pathetic social justice warriors and why are you not condeming this piece of garbage criminals actions against women? Or, is violence against women OK when it involves a black guy because, he is already ” oppressed ” ?
One of the things that the black lives matters Toronto group refuses to speak of , or even acknowledge is black on black violence . We don’t need to look very far to see this, as, our poster boy for this pathetic organization , Jermaine Carby , was wanted for MURDER.. murdering a black man. So, if black lives really do matter to this group, why then are they making a murdering , stab happy, woman beating, drug dealer , drug dealer enforcer their poster boy? Why are they not even saying so much a peep about this black man he MURDERED ?
Here is a video of the recent black lives matters occupation at police HQ that clearly shows the level of stupidity of this organization :
and another :
People, you cant buy, or make up this level of stupidity up, yet, these guys and this group will provide it to you for free, and in abundance .
Here is a video of Tanya Grant , a relative of Carby who goes in a long winded diatribe about how evil the cops were , but she sort of forgets to point out her cousins somewhat lengthy criminal record, and the fact that we was wanted for MURDER out in BC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbpFCE-Zzl8
Here is a video of jani khan telling you about what was taking place in Toronto, only , that is NOT what actually happened. :
Is the black lives matter movement a dangerous one ? Yes, it is because it clearly states what are obvious lies, tries to distort obvious facts and fails to address the real issues of black on black violence. This article is a very good that speaks to my point . If black lives matters was really legitimate about black people and crimes, ask yourself these questions : Why are they very silent about black on black crimes where people are often murdered over drug deals ? Why are they silent when in, for example, drive by shootings, rouge bulluts strike and kill totally innocent bystanders . If black lives matters is really interested to black people and crimes, why did they say NOTING when Jane Creba was murdered on Yonge street in an open gang war in the middle of a busy street ? Where was black lives matters during the Eaton Center shootings ? Where was black lives matter during the Muzik nightclub shootout? ALL of these shooting involved black males , yet, not a peep from black lives matters > No, Black lives matters wants a race war, plain and simple, and white people are the targets.
Black lives matters CLAIMS to be concerned over the deaths through violence of black people. ALL deaths, especially when violence is the cause is something that needs to be addressed . However, I cannot help but notice some very obvious silence of deaths of THESE black people . This young lady who was expecting a child was SHOT and killed . WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE ?
The point of the above noted stories with links is to show just how utterly hypocritical and rediculous these black lives matters protesters really are. In ALL of these cases, either a black person was killed , or a black person was the killer, yet, this group has NOTHING to say about these actions. They focus on black people getting killed in Toronto by police , which , yes, very sadly, this has happened. However, dozens more black people are murdered in Toronto by gang members, over drugs, guns, old drug debts, yet this black on black violence does not even get a mention within this group.
To this group, black lives actually DON’T matter, their inactions to the very obvious above mentions occurrences clearly shows this. What they want, ALL they want is to create a race war were they name their enemy, the police , an organization that has done the LEAST about of harm to this community. Black lives matters Toronto doesn’t care if you are black and get shot in a gang war because it was not the cops that shot you. They don’t care about your living conditions because they are wealthy and live very well. They don’t care about whether you die of drug use , because the cops didn’t give them the drugs. To black lives matters Toronto, if you are black, successful, and have not been killed by a cop, YOU DON’T MATTER. …… if you did, ask this group then, why they stay silent over the deaths of other black persons?
This is HOT OFF THE PRESS … Black Live Matters is a terrorist organization who is willing to commit murder . Proof is in the words of one of their organizers :
Here is a little info on our terrorist who wants to kill white males in the name of her allah :
Here is what she looks like :
Lets hope that she has some visitors who drive large dark suburbans , who will have lots to say to her. In fact, I hope that her actions will encourage those same visitors she will be , to pay equally lengthy visits to her cohorts . Rodney and Pascale Diverlus , Rejean Hoilett , Sandy Hudson. Time for bill C-51 to get started, these idiots will make great starting points.
” … What do you think when you read a tweet that says, “PLZ Allah, give me the strength not to cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today. plz plz plz.”?
That’s what Yusra Khogali, who is also known as Yusra Ali posted to her twitter account back in February, before quickly removing it.
There was no indication what led her to making the post.
What makes that more eye opening, is that she’s one of the organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement in Toronto.
Many are now calling for a police investigation, calling the tweet ‘hate speech’.
There’s been no comment from Ali yet, but NEWSTALK 1010 has contacted Black Lives Matter and we’ve yet to hear a response.
Believe it or not, the tweet had five ‘likes’ before it was removed. Shortly after, Ali locked down her twitter account. But there was even one response that said “praying for ya… to destroy them.”
The police say they haven’t opened an investigation because no one has come forward to complain. But, one NEWSTALK 1010 listener says the issue was raised with the Toronto Police, and nothing ever came of it.
We’ve now contacted the police, to find out why no action was taken.
The Premier met with the group informally outside of Queen’s Park on Monday, and promised a face to face meeting with the organizers. It appears as though that meeting will continue as planned.
The following is a quote from Michael Coteau, the Minister Responsible for Anti-Racism:
“We are fortunate to live in one of the most progressive, inclusive societies in the world. But there is no question that systemic racism continues to create unfair outcomes for racialized and indigenous persons in Ontario. Black Lives Matter is an important part of a dialogue we must have. Yesterday, I sent an invitation to the leadership of Black Lives Matter to meet with myself and my colleagues Minister Madeleine Meilleur, Attorney General, and Minister Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, to discuss their concerns and how our Government can help address systemic racism in our province. I look forward to meeting with them shortly. … “
Time to put an end to these idiots once and for all. I really really hope the cops and security services nail their asses to the wall .
Meow everyone. I was going to write about today pro-ISIS , anti Canadian protest held by the usual suspect of professional protesters. Today, I was supposed to write about how groups such as the stop the war movement intentionally misleads the public. I was supposed to write how the usual group of neanderthals show , thinking they are ” all that ” and have all the answers. I was even supposed to write how groups like this are really about just extensions of radical unions and these union agendas . I was even going to write about how Carolyn Egan made her usual speech where she flaps her lips a lot but as usual, says nothing of value. Yes, I was supposed to write about all these things, however, while at this event, I experienced, FIRST hand , the greatest travesty in humanity , yes me , a white male, and not just any white male, but rather, a superior white male .
My planned days was to attend this event and photograph the proceedings.
I say , it was my planned event, and yes, I actually did attend and photograph it, exactly as planned. So what , y’ all are likely asking, was this huge, unspeakable travesty that took place to me ?
I was carded . Yes, me ,moi , a superior white male of privilege , I mean how dare that happen ? The black li(v)es matter protest organization claims that only black males are targeted, to be carded , yet here I was , a clearly superior white male , in an area frequented by other white males . Yes, there were a few non white guys there as well but the cops targeted me . I mean this is a fucking travesty. Don’t these cops have criminals to catch ? I could swear that there was someone jay walking down the street. I personally witnessed three people smoking and flicking asses onto the ground two hours before they got there . Oh the cops were very polite and professional , unlike the lies that the black li(v)es matter group will have you think. No, the cops didn’t rush me and tackle me to the ground, like the front line of a pro football team would, as the black li(v)es matter group suggests they do . Although in fairness, when they saw that I was wearing my $8000.00 Armani suit , they knew i was some one of great importance . No, these two cops came up to me, were polite , respectful but they wanted to know who I was, and what I was doing. I mean, wasn’t it fucking obvious what I was doing? I had quality camera gear , not that Nikon crap either , with me the size of the Hubble telescope , something only superior and privileged white males would have . Come on , what do you think I am doing with that kind of gear ? Selling freaking news papers on the street ? And where the fuck was MY SAFE SPACE , and why did the assembled SJW’s not rush over to my aid and try and de-arrest me or something ? Where the hell was potty mouth to tell the cops that they have no right to talk to me ? Where was Sakura Saunders to tell them that cops cant just stop people? Where was Darius and his anti cop rap crap? Were the fuck was deranged Desmond Cole to tell these cops that they cant card me ? Why was there no one chanting mindless slogans at the cops while I was being spoken to ? I want answers, I want my safe space and I want more answers . I don’t want just any old answers either. I want answers that will be to my satisfaction . And for fuck sake, use only small words when providing me with my demanded answers , as big and intellectually sounding words are the language of the 1% . I mean come on people, this was just wrong. How dare the cops approach me , ” randomly ” ? Could they not clearly see that I was a superior white male of obvious means ? I was sure my diamond encrusted ( from Debeers mines ) , gold Rolex watch ( with the gold coming from a Barrack Gold mine ) was blinding them , as was the gleam of my recently detailed Aston Martin, yet, they clearly failed to show any respect for my superior lot in life. Did they not notice how even my nose was elevated above the rest of the riff raff scum , denoting utter contempt for those beneath me ?
After a few minutes, once the police established that I was allowed to exist among the assembled riff raff, there to protest Canada and show their full fledged support for terrorist regimes , I slinked back to my spot where I was going to start my shooting of the event, allowing the free flow of contaminants to once again permiate my laundered clothing. My safe space violated , my clearly over inflated ego , damaged , and to make matters worse, dust has settled on my camera during the encounter . Even the leather seats in my car were starting to get cold as the shade was beginning to cover my car. Can this day get any worse? Well, YES, it can , and it did.
I stuck around long enough to listen to the usual, predictable whining of Sid Lacombe , the unhuman screech of Carolyn Egan , a host of idiots from the usual communist groups and of course , some brain dead moron from the CFS. If these idiots would get better speech writes, at least they would be less predictable with their clap trap , possibly even slightly more entertaining as well . While all the usual speech’s were in predictable fashion, nausiating, what set this event off, was a communist party of Canada and those who where there as its representatives. Now I, for the life of me don’t understand why some one would actually WANT communist rule in Canada . I am guessing that these supporters of communist rule never actually lived such a repressive system , never had to stand in line for hours form simple daily living needs . Now the fact that the radical left want communism should not come as any surprise to anyone. Here as one example, is our favorite union goon and all round idiot sporting his favorite pro communist t-shirt. OK, just to be clear, Duff is now the communication guy for the Ontario Federation of labor .
So, without further delay, here are only a very small sampling of the idiots who were there today to violate my safe space :
No Pro Terrorist protest is complete unless this idiot is there
This guys expression says it all
No pro terrorist protest is complete with Carolyn Egan speeches . I wonder if her hairstyle has been officially sanctioned by the communist party
Sorry but i couldn’t help but laugh at this guy using his official red communist mega phone . On the bright side, he didn’t yell through that thing for the entire protest
Lastly, no good pro terrorist protest would ever be complete without our good friend Zidane Mohamed . This is the same guy who openly advocates and supports cop killing. Yes, that is indeed a banner for the communist party he is holding. I’m not sure yet as to the guy next to him but I am suspecting that he will soon grow official Karl Marx approved facial hair.
Here are a couple of other communists . I wonder if they learned how to goose step yet.
… and of course we cant possibly leave out the CFS ( Canadian Federation of Students ) . What good pro terrorist protest is really a protest unless you have student dollars wasted to support terrorists and communists.
Meow everyone. My regular readers are all too aware of the actions of the left wing radicals , and what they stand for. They will tell you that they are radical in order to somehow change the system , make things better, so on and so forth. If you have read my articles in here, I have always stated that nothing could be farther from the truth. I have stated ad nauseum that these radicals are nothing but a bunch of self centered, self entitled idiots who think of themselves as being oh so important . However, now, right here, you will in the words of one these left wing radicals, that their radicialism is exactly what I have always stated is was, Further, this left wing radical will tell you, in her own words, just how dangerous they really are . Behold, the confession of a radical. I will add my comments under each section individually as they apply .
The below article is sourced from here , here , and lastly, the original articles from here .
” … I’ve been involved in activism since the Occupy Movement of 2011. Over the years this has included anti-capitalist, labour and feminist organising, as well as coordinating a local Food Not Bombs chapter, a number of direct actions against big oil (in solidarity with First Nations people), and prisoner justice campaigns.
While I will always be part of the movement and believe in creating a better world through people power, over the years I have become increasingly frustrated with modern activist culture and the way that today’s left conducts itself.
First of all, I’m tired of watching people turn into pretentious assholes who think their activism makes them better than everyone else, even the oppressed and marginalised groups with whom they claim “allyship”.
I can think of no better examples that these so called leaders or facilitators of the occupy movement who thought they were so far above the rest of the people they they preyed upon and exploited their leadership positions to get what THEY wanted . I can also think of none better examples of these ” pretentious assholes ” with some of the most vile people such as Sakura Saunders , Sid Ryan , Judy Rebbick, Pam Palmateer, Clayton Thomas Muller, Amanda Lickers , Tracie Parks , Alex Hundert and their ilk.
” … If you’ve ever worked with oppressed groups, such as people who are homeless, abused, addicted or suffering from mental health problems, there’s one thing you learn straight away. They usually don’t frame their worldviews in terms of academic theories students learn in gender studies classes in university. For the most part, they tend to not analyse their experiences in terms of systemic power and privilege, concepts such as “the patriarchy”, “white privilege”, or “heteronormativity”. … ”
There is good reason as to why the above mentioned do ” not analyse their experiences in terms of systemic power and privilege, concepts such as “the patriarchy”, “white privilege”, or “heteronormativity”. It is simply because these concepts were CREATED by these ” pretentious assholes ” in order to justify THEIR actions and agendas and to use these people as pawns for their agendas . The black lives matter flavor of the month protest movement is a great example of these idiots creating these so called class struggles to create a race war. Here are some examples of how black lives matters CREATES a struggle that did not previously exist, then escalate it to become violent, only then, to blame to other side for the violence THEY ( the black live matter protest movement ) created.
So, my question to the black lives matter protesters …. if you want allies , why are you wanting to murder those who would or could become allies ? Of course I don’t expect any answers because these ” pretentious assholes ” are they to cry foul , oppression and all the usual buzz words for the cameras , but in reality , THEY are the architects of their own violence. The screen shots don’t lie.
Professional protesters make claims to wanting allies , often. Its pretty standard practice, a well scripted , somewhat boring call out. However, in fact, they DON’T want allies, they DO want only like minded minions who don’t, or wont think and reason / rationalize things for themselves. Its far too much work to convert a prospective ally than it is to take a willing , mindless drone , and when the time is right, throw them under the proverbial bus. Rodney Diverlus is a textbook example of such a person , a KEY founder and organizer of the black lives matters movement. Here , he CLEARLY shows that he doesn’t want allies, he doesn’t want reasonable thinking, he doesn’t want to hear both side of a story. Indeed, he is ONLY interested in hearing what HIS narrative is . Other voices, possibly the voices of allies are NOT WANTED.
Hey, wait a minute, I though you guys at black lives matters WANTED allies . Now you’re saying that us white guys are not wanted as allies ? Oh, So then you do have a double standard , saying one thing publicly, doing the exact opposite in practice.
” … While many of these folks know that they’re directly impacted by class inequality, they don’t sit around pondering capitalism, reading Marx, or tackling the effects of “problematic behaviours”. They are not concerned with checking their privilege. No. They are busy trying to survive. Getting through the next day. Meeting their basic needs. They don’t bother with policing their language and worrying about how their words might unintentionally perpetuate certain stereotypes. They are more concerned with their voices being heard. … ”
I agree with the above statement. The people that these professional protesters are claiming to care about, in fact don’t care what these idiots think. Surviving is THE SOLE priority. Being politically correct and / or so called anti oppressive is the farthest thing from their minds. Frankly, I , as well, don’t give a rats ass about being politically correct . For me, as well as reasonably minded people, what is important, the ONLY thing that is important is the truth . If you cant handle the truth, go play in your proverbial sandbox , by yourself and your feelings wont get hurt.
” … Yet I witness so many “activists” who ignore the realities of oppression despite saying that they care about those at the bottom of society. They think that being offended by something is equal to experiencing prison time or living on the streets. They talk about listening, being humble and not having preconceptions. Yet they ignore the lived experiences of those who don’t speak or think properly in the view of university-educated social justice warriors, regardless of how much worse off they really are. … ”
The professional protesters ignore the realities of oppression because oppression and violence are KEY tools these same protesters use against those with whom they disagree with . A perfect example of this took place several years ago when my good friend Greg was physically assaulted in a public park by a group of pathetic and cowardly anarchist thugs, because they didn’t like his point of view. But wait, I thought these same people wanted allies . Please forgive me here but my immediate , admittedly hastily arrived observation would suggest that hitting someone over the head with a weapon is not likely to garner support and ally ship.
” … This isn’t to say that we should accept bigotry in any form — far from it. But I would go as far as saying that the politically correct mafia on the left perpetuates a form of bigotry on its own because it alienates and “otherises” those who do not share their ways of thinking and speaking about the world. … ”
Not only do we accept bigotry, we institutionalize it , we turn it into academic discussion, we even encourage it . The anti Israel movement within the university system is a perfect example of how much we do in fact condone and institutionalize it.
” … I’ve witnessed incidents where people have lost their jobs because of mistakes they’ve made in the eyes of left-wing activists. I’ve seen relationships and friendships destroyed. I’ve known people who have been banned from participating in certain places, and become so alienated from “the community” that they are afraid to go out in public at all. This has caused serious mental distress to people I’ve worked alongside, and has even resulted in suicide. Social “justice” indeed. … ”
To use a line right out of the George W Bush era, ” … you’re either with us, or against us … ” . With the professional protesters, this is absolutely 100% true. They will think nothing of throwing a person under the bus if that person so much as strays off THEIR intended goal, interferes with THEIR agenda or disagrees with them publicly.
” …These incidents tend to happen over allegations that rest on each person’s word. Yet only one party is allowed to tell their story, while the other one is told to sit down, shut up, and accept the potentially life-destroying consequences. And if anyone tries to step in or question how things are being done, they are immediately silenced and threatened with the same fate if they don’t comply. … ”
The word of a person who makes these allegations is already in question since that person has an already skewed view of the person they intend to try and destroy. They have tried, many times on me as well, but they get laughed at each time . facts to these people are meaningless because those facts always oppose THEIR narrative they want to convey. To them, fact simply get in the way of a good smear campaign. Only the most resilient person usually survives.
” … I’m sick of the cliques, the hierarchies, the policing of others, and the power imbalances. I am exhausted by the fact that any difference of opinion will lead to a fight, which sometimes includes abandonment of certain people who are consequently deemed “unsafe”. … ”
These power imbalances are there by design to create the ” us vs them ” mentality . Occupy was the prime example of this with these leaders / facilitators . They thought they were better than everyone else, while trying to play the ” oh we are just like you ” game. The pressed jeans, Rolex watches, free trips, new laptops, Iphones , cash payments and suites at the Sheraton Hotel proved otherwise .
” … It’s disgusting that the left claims to be fighting for a better way of dealing with social problems, but if a person makes a mistake or says something wrong, they are not even given a chance to explain their side of what happened. This is because the process of conflict resolution is now driven by ideology rather than a willingness to understand facts. In today’s activist circles one is lucky to be given any sort of due process at all. Meanwhile, everyone is put under social pressure to believe everything they are told, regardless of what actually occurred in a given situation…. ”
The left are creating the problem they want, then miraculously find the solution they also want . The left create the conflicts , vilify those who ask the tough questions that these radicals don’t want answers generally known . Due process is non-existant, is a fallacy , a term used only when around media in order to appear publicly as receptive to new , alternative ideas, when in front of the cameras. In reality, one is guilty and has NO CHANCE of being proven innocent. This should sound familiar to most of us, this is the legal system in islamic countries and communist countries .
” … This is not freedom. This is not social justice. There is nothing “progressive” or “radical” about it. … ”
This is by design, purpose built this way to silence any possible chance of dissent .
” … There is a disturbing trend on the left nowadays of rejecting free speech that could possibly be hurtful to someone, somewhere. This is not only dangerous but it also works against us. As leftists we are often labelled as threats by the state and at the very least, we are unpopular by society in general.
Does this not mean that freedom of thought and expression are crucial to our struggles? That we should always defend our right to question what we’re taught, our right to be different? As Noam Chomsky put it: “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
We have the right to challenge other people’s speech, but what many people are seeing is the shutting off of dialogue entirely for the purpose of “safety”. What could possibly be safe about censorship? What could possibly be safe about a group of people who claim to be freedom fighters dictating who can speak and what can be said, based on whether or not we agree with them? Study any kind of history and you will find that censorship has never been on the right side of it. … ”
The radical left is not interest in free speech. They ARE ONLY interest in THEIR speech and will silence, or at least try to silence, any one has an opinion that is not in line with their own, using any and every means possible. Violence is not a deterrent to them. Indeed, they will resort to it when looking to try and make a example of someone they are greatly opposed to . The higher the profile of the person they wish to silence, the more extreme the method they will use to enact this silence.
” … The world is not a safe place. It is extremely dangerous, flawed, full of bloodshed and corruption. By sheltering ourselves from its harshness we are doing nothing meaningful to change it. If we are serious about confronting power we must throw ourselves into the danger that so many people have no choice but to live with. While self-care is necessary to sustain us in the long run, avoiding the darkness entirely is nothing more than a cop out.
So folks on the left – do the world a favour and get serious about changing the world. And enough with the safe spaces and trigger warnings. I used to love the idea of safe spaces, but eventually realised that they did not protect me from humanity’s flaws. Escapism is necessary once in a while, but if we are serious we need to avoid hiding behind ourselves. It is extremely naive to think that we can just walk into a room, declare it a safe space, and expect it to magically become one. Unless you and your safe space enforcing friends plan on isolating yourselves from the world rather than engaging with it, it is not realistic at all and pretending it is will only hurt you further. … ”
The ONLY safe space is the one YOU create for yourself . If you rely on someone else to create a space for you, you may just find yourself disappointed to learn that in fact, the so called safe they created is really for THEM , and is likely to EXCLUDE you ….. by design. If YOU need a safe space , you have now shown weakness in the eyes of these professional protesters , therefore, you are now weak enough to be swayed into alternative points of view .. something the radical left cant have. You are now, therefore , expendable and can expect to be thrown under the proverbial bus.
” … As for trigger warnings, as a rape survivor and someone who deals with PTSD, how is writing something like “TW: Rape” not inherently triggering? I simply don’t get it. Anything can be triggering to someone, and there is no way of knowing what that will be. Personally, I think we are better off working out how to support someone who becomes triggered in a given situation rather than triggering them ourselves in an attempt not to.
Our ideas cannot be forced on other people, but must be adopted voluntarily. This requires patience and a willingness to work with others as they explore themselves. We need to be there to answer their questions, and make it clear that no question is a stupid one. … ”
Trigger warnings are there , used by these protesters as a means of controlling one, making sure they tow the party line. Your feelings and experiences mean NOTHING to them , indeed, they are there to be exploited.
” … We are not always going to enjoy the process! But without freedom of thought, speech, and expression, no other freedom can exist. Bigots and hateful people in general will make fools of themselves, and again, our freedom to speak means that we can and definitely should challenge and outsmart them. But the idea of being so self-righteous that we think we deserve to be authority figures in all of this is soul-crushing. … “
For the radical left, there is no such thing as freedom of thought. Their thoughts are scripted by the communist party , the international socialists party, the NDP party and the unions that pay them to act on their behalf . The Occupy movement could not prove that more clearly. These self righteous minions who think they are advocates of some cause, have no concept on how to actually , successfully advocate, because they are too busy acting as school yard bullies against those who ask questions, or think for themselves .
This leads me to ask the question to the original author of this story as shown in green as to what motivated, what precipitated her to right this article? I ask because she is spot on with her assessment of just who these so called social justice warriors ( SJW ) are . However, as she too is one of these SJW’s ( or was one ) I am curious as to what made her change her mind . I wonder as well, will her newly discovered assessment of just who and what these people are, actually alter the way SHE will in future , approach her advocacy in what ever area she deems as important to her? I wonder as well, as to whether her shedding light on the clear hypocrisy of these SJW’s, in fact have her be put on the outside looking in?
The author of the article as depicted in green is quite a bright and intelligent lady , one with whom I have had numerous conversations with, albeit short ones, or on line. I will say that while we have , or at least had opposing views on many subjects, the one she wrote about in green is clearly one where we do find common ground an dare in agreement with each other, at least in my view.
So, now that she has written her article on the flaws of social justice warriors, will, she now turn her advocacy to changing the way the SJW’s conduct themselves ?
I want y’all with this priceless video that clearly states what most people REALLY think of these so called Social Justice Warriors . I couldn’t agree more :
Meow everyone . Imagine .. you work for a large company or organization that has a very specific mandate . You go there day after day, year after year, expecting to fulfill this mandate . Your employer is a large city police force. You are there, as a sworn officer to serve and protect the community . I spent some time, many years ago, serving in the military. I can tell you that there is no greater level of satisfaction that serving your country / community , knowing that you are doing good. You get shot at, ridiculed, insulted, treated with contempt and disrespect , yet, you go back the following day to do this all over again. If this was just some company , like millions of other companies, one would walk away after the first day, if the employee were treated the way some of our officers are treated daily by the public. Now, what if you are that same officer, wanting to accomplish the same thing, but this time, its YOUR OWN civilian overseers who are stopping you, preventing you from doing the very job you have sworn to do ? This is the VERY REAL EVERYDAY occurrence our police officers have to deal with . Further to that , What would you say if I told you that the very civilian overseers who govern and dictate policies our officers must adhere to, are in fact sitting side by side KNOWN urban terrorists and eco terrorists ? Hmm, now I have gotten your attention didn’t I ? Well, this is not a hypothetical scenario , indeed, this is VERY REAL and has taken place.
Most people of are aware, that as in the military, in the police force , a rank structure exists, that with it, carries certain duties and responsibilities . Yes, the higher one rises through the ranks, the more political the position it can, or does become . At some point, if one rises through the ranks high enough, they may wear the police uniform , however, they do very little actually policing. rather, much of the time is spent on administrative and public relations duties and engagements.
In Toronto, while the rank structure appears as the most obvious signs of leadership with the police force, the real decision making power appears to be the Toronto Police Services Board . The Toronto Police Services Board consists of 7 members composed of:
the Mayor or a Council Member as the Mayor’s designate who is appointed by City Council;
2 Council Members;
1 citizen member appointed by City Council; and
3 citizen members appointed by the Province of Ontario.
The Toronto Police Services Board’s mandate is legislated by the Police Services Act and can be summarized as the general management and setting of policing policy. Generally, the Board’s role in shaping the structure of policing is very broad, limited by legislation only in the realm of daily operations. So, as I stated above, its the board who creates the policies that our officers must adhere to .
Therein lays the first problem … you have board members making policies that THEY feel are the correct ones , however, these same board members are not out there on the streets to see what is really going on , they , by the boards own rules, can’s be out there .
Citizen members are ineligible for appointment to the Board if they fail to satisfy the eligibility requirements for appointment as set out in the City’s Public Appointments Policy.
Under the Police Services Act, persons are ineligible for appointment as members of the Board if they are:
a judge
a justice of the peace
a police officer, and
a person who practices criminal law as a defence counsel.
So, we have a board making rules and regulations but no actually, practical experience to actually see / know what is needed , what works , what will not work . Along with the civilian members on the board, the remaining members are politicians :
the Mayor or a Council Member as the Mayor’s designate who is appointed by City Council;
2 Council Members;
Once again, politicians are NOT cops out on the street. They sit in offices of meetings all day so how can they possibly have a clue as to what cops actually with daily , yet, they some how think that they are perfectly able to dictate to officers how to do their jobs and invent regulations dictating same. However, that is only the beginning. Because politicians are tied to one political party or another, they will of course dictate policy that falls within the spectrum of their own parties ideals . Former Mayor David Miller was the perfect example of what radical left leaning politicians can to to a perfectly good organization…. he destroyed the police department with his NDP brand of politics. I have always said that While Miller was our Mayor , we had an ongoing clown act in city hall. I think Crusty the Clown from the Simpsons would have made a better Mayor than the jack ass that Miller was .
After assuming office, Miller became involved in the long-standing and polarizing debates over Toronto’s police budget. Does this sound familiar ? We here today know that the radicals want to decimate the police budget as well . But wait, there is more . Miller was not in office very long but was quick to become involved in a labour dispute between the Police Services Board and the Toronto Police Association. The board, led by councillor Pam McConnell. Like Miller who was a member of the radical left NDP party , , McConnell had also maintained her membership in the NDP, however, and has become more active with the party since 2003. She has been a Miller ally since the election and was rewarded by being anointed, chair of the Toronto Police Services Board from 2004 to 2005.
McConnell is the very same useless and brain dead twit who once accused an other mayor, Rob Rod of bulldozing her to the ground during a heated session at a city council .
OK, so let me go backwards here for a little bit. I had shown about how radical left wing politicians were actively supporting other radical politicians to ensure that radical agendas were front and center. One of the names I made mention of was Olivia Chow. . Chow herself was a member of the police services board but her radical actions were made clear and was forced to resign as a result of her out right support for the terrorist activities of her friends, the people SHE allies with .
Have a look at these screen shots that show how Chow supported violent groups and their actions … WHILE SITTING ON THE POLICE SERVICES BOARD :
I have stated that the NDP is a highly radical political party and that they support criminal organizations . Here are screen shots to support this :
I have maintained on numerous occasions that OCAP is, in my opinion, a domestic terrorist organization. Well, I am clearly not the only person of this mind. Indeed heads of law enforcement feel this way as well :
So, to recap , a member of the Police Services Board is supportive of terrorists who are in the process of a terrorist act and asks cops to back off … Hmmm seems to me that she was there, using her position, to disrupt the police force , not help it .
The other person whom I made mention of as endorsing David Miller as mayor , was none other than Judy Rebbick . Rebbick love to remind those stupid enough to listen to her , how much of a shit disturbing protester she was ” back in the day ” . To my utter amazement, I cant believe that there are actually people out there who listen to her , and can do this without vomiting.
Rebbick is a professor at Ryerson University ( and not a very good one ) . She loves to give voices to convicted , violent criminals , especially those who are in fact court ordered not to make speeches or appearances. In fact, the more violent the criminal, the more of a voice she gives them. Case in point. She gave one of her long winded nausiating diatribes at Ryerson University some years where her special guest was Alex Hundert, the convicted G20 organizer who spent his prison time in solitary confinement because he was so dangerous. While he was out on bail ( I don’t know what the court was thinking at that moment ) he was ordered NOT to speak to media or make speeches of any kind. Well Rebbick, being the moron that she is , and Hundert, being the scum bag that he is, openly flaunted the law anyway.
Here is Rebbick below ( you are on your own with having to supply barf bags )
Here is the illegal speech that Rebbick knowingly allowed Hundert to make at one her events :
Have a look here and see for yourselves who were the ones who destroyed our city during the G20 .
So far, I have shown some historical evidence that radical left political influences were sitting on the Police Services Board and clearly had the intention of limiting the ability of officers from doing their duties, in one case, even wanting officer NOT to act against criminals who were throwing molitov cocktails at the Ontario Legislature building with complete disregard for those inside, or even those outside . However , the undermining , of the officers of the Toronto Police Service did not end with Chow and Company .
So far, I have shown you that politicians have meddled into the day to day activities of our officers, even going so far as to want them to NOT enforce the law, especially when the law breakers and the politicians share the exact same agendas . If that is not undermining our officers, I cant imagine what is . But wait, it gets worse … MUCH worse . Imagine having a sitting police services board member , a city counsel member who , as part of her staff, employs a convicted urban terrorist, one who is unappologetic for her actions and does not even recognize the laws of Canada. NO, IM NOT KIDDING . Now that is really over the top, but wait, it get even WORSE . Now, imagine the CHAIRMAN of the Police Services Board attending a conference and CO-speaking with not one, not even two, but THREE Terrorists. ….. One urban terrorist, and two eco-terrorists. People, I don’t make this stuff up . At this point, I am asking my readers to once again read very carefully, the graphic I posted above showing exactly who the G20 rioting organizers were , then, read the extensive list of panelists for a symposium and see you can find a match in names:
*This page will be updated frequently as new panelists confirm, so please check-in to see who we have lined up!*

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

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

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

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

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