  • Radical student unions, the NDP party and Unions and their endorstment and connection to urban terrorism …. part two

    Meow everyone, Yes, it has  been a while since you read new material here but the wait will prove to have been worth it. research takes a long time.

     

    In my last installment, i covered some material that to refresh your collective memories about unions, student unions and some of the key players. In this installment as well as part three ( to be published soon ) I will delve deep into the very heart of the ones who not only create the problems I write about, but also , who facilitates and supports them. Anarchists, unions and  radical student unions have agendas, that are not even close to what they are premised to be . To call them dangerous would be an understatement  but rather then have me tell you, I will , as usual, let THEM tell you themselves how dangerous they are.

     

    Today, May 14, 2014, I attended for s short time a protest rally put on the the CFS ( Canadian Federation of Students ) in support of raising the minimum wage to $ 14.00 per hour . On the surface, this sounds like a great idea, however, as with any action that the CFS gets a hold of, this too is greatly lacking the real issue of clarity and long term effects on the  economy. A sudden raise of this magnitude would in fact create significant unemployment as MOST business would simply not be able to afford to pay persons this wage. This, those person would now be unemployed and / or the businesses would  go under. OK, that is a very short version of why this campaign of theirs is very short sighted and greatly flawed. However, the premiss of this story is in fact not the wage issue but rather, who is involved in this issue.

     

    Here is a short video I shot  at the event to get a good idea of who was there:

     

     

     

    In the video we see clearly UNIFOR has a presence , the United Steel workers union is there, several members of the most radical student unions are there. One example of the one of the most radical persons present at this event was a guy named Krishna Saravanamuttu. Krisha is a full time staff members of the CFS and was a former executive member of the York Federation of Students. Here is what he has gained notoriety for , his racist anti semitic views :

     

    ( sourced from here at :  http://whatis.z505.com/idx.php?p=York_University  )

     

    ” …In May 2009, York adjudicator Janet Mosher, who is an associate dean at York’s Osgoode Hall Law School, ruled that two York students, Krisna Saravanamuttu and Jesse Zimmerman, had violated the Student Code of Conduct due to their behaviour at the protest, which she described as “exclusionary and offensive” and which promoted an atmosphere of “hostility, incivility and intimidation.” Mosher noted that both students participated in the protest which pursued a group of Jewish students to Hillel’s lounge in York’s Student Centre, and swarmed outside shouting taunts. On a video of the incident, Saravanamuttu was shown clapping and apparently leading a chant of “Whose campus? Our campus!” as well as participating in a chant of “Racists off campus.” Saravanamuttu was fined $150 and both he and Zimmerman were given an official reprimand and human rights training. … “

     

    Here is what Krisha looks like :

    Krisha was a speakers a few years ago at a Tamil rally at queens park , a rally I also attended , and at that rally, he proclaimed his devout support for the Tamil tigers, a know and very dangerous terrorist group that has killed thousands of people. This guy is now, representing students , the vast majority of whom no doubt have no idea of his support for terrorism and terrorists. It is radicals like this that the CFS has around. It is clear that real student issues are not part of the CFS agenda .

     

    Next on the list of radical organizations present was the United Steel Workers Union ( USW ) For those who need a reminder, the USW has the infamous Carolyn Egan as their figure head and professional protester for hire . Too bad she has never actually accomplished anything while protesting. Sorry Carolyn, “60’s hippies such as yourself and Judy Rebick may be figure heads to a new generation of malcontents but at the end of the day, you have accomplished NOTHING as a protester other than maybe help the local pharmacy when you needed throat medicinal  products for all your swearing and yelling and screaming.

     

    The union hall for the USW is somewhat notorious for hosting some of the worst of the worst and most vile criminals in the professional protest world, but that is not all they host. OCAP has used this space for their meetings and events on occasion, the International Socialists use this space frequently to try and subvert our democracy to replace it with a communist state. However, perhaps the most dangerous group that makes use of this space needs little introduction …… violent anarchists. This coming June, violent and dangerous anarchists will once again be given the welcome mat  to this unions facilities to host their anarchist book fair. Past events that involved these violent anarchists included GUN CALLS, several raids, substantial property destrunction at the G20 in Toronto, confessions to arson and  assaults upon journalists , just to name a few of their offenses.

    The last group I wish to talk about today, if only as an introduction is UNIFOR, who also made a small presence today . I have stated in previous articles just how dangerous, in my opinion,  UNIFOR is and why. In part three is this series, I will re-introduce you to an old and familiar face, one many thought had vanished … Denise Hammond. Sorry Denise, you never escaped my radar and guess what, your still very much on it. Stay tuned and look for some very interesting images ……


  • Radical student unions, the NDP party and Unions and their endorstment and connection to urban terrorism …. part one

    Meow everyone. Most of you will know by now, after reading here that groups like OCAP and other highly radical fringe groups and their leaders love to engage in acts of premeditated violence that is often years in the planning. OCAP and No One is Illegal are the two top ones that come to mind . In this series, I will focus on OCAP , the NDP political  party and some of their members, where they openly support this terrorist organization.

     

    The first thing I wish to do is to remind the readers as to why OCAP is a terrorist organization, and these two videos will show is rather clearly :

     

     

     

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHjmOglDcVo

     

     

     

     

    After viewing the above two videos, pay attention to this comment :

    ocap-terrorist-1

     

    OK, so I have laid out the facts about OCAP as being a terrorist organization by means of video evidence , as well as what some in law enforcement think of them. However, this organization as radical, as violent as they are has been allowed to operate with seeming impunity in this city , garnering support from some key organizations and persons. Along with simply support for their actions, OCAP has been financed to carry out these acts of terrorism by some of these same groups. Here is what then, Police Chief Julian Fantino  had to say about the famous Queens part riots the same riots depicted in the above two videos :

     

    fantino

     

    Like all terrorist organizations, they need funding to keep going, to pay their ” staff ” . The UNIONS, were only too willing to provide OCAP with whatever funding they needed, knowing full well what OCAP as an organization is all about. Here is a screen shot that points this out clearly :

     

    union support

     

    Sid Ryan as named in the above screen shot has gone on to run the OFL, ( Ontario Federation of Labor )  like a dictatorship according to some. Violence is part and parcel to how the OFL operate as seen in this video where Joel Duff , the currant director of communication for the OFL clearly demonstrates ( an aside note .. Duff is on a nine month parental leave from the OFL as i write this ) :

     

     

     

     

    Duff has a long history of militancy as seen here from this image when he was at the university of Ottawa:

     

    duff ( middle )

    Also named in the screen shot is a guy named Buzz Hargrove, who was the then leader of the CAW, (  Canadian Auto  Workers  Union ) which was later taken over by Ken Lewenza. Lewenza in true union fashion has no trouble showing support for criminal actions as seen here where he is present   to lend his support  for a clearly illegal and criminal action, a fairly recent blockade of an active rail line  ( far right in image )  :

     

    CAW ken lewenza

     

    At a recent OCAP event held on March 22 2014 in conjunction n with the Liberal party of Ontario convention, OCAP organized a protest event in an attempt to disrupt the convention, as they have done in past years. However, this year, they had a small surprise waiting for them, in that unless a person was a registered delegate to the convention, they were not allowed inside a building. It was nice to see that finally, the cops and event security took these people seriously enough to take this step. However, this protest event did yield some good footage of the organizers and in one case, a great shot of Fred Huan the Ontario head of CUPE, Kelly O’Sullivan the president of CUPE local 4308 and another CUPE member clearly conversing with John Clarke, the head of OCAP. this would clearly prove that they indeed know each other and from the appearance of the conversation they had, are friends and clear supporters . Here is the image of them together : 

     

     

    _Y0X4393

     

     

     

    The CAW later came to be known as UNIFOR . I will  show more on UNIFOR later in this series including how some of their founding members where present as acts of criminal violence and arson was taking place during the G20 .  This is also where the connection will be made to radical student unions.

     

    I want to go back, however, to OCAP  and how some of leaders of these radical political parties like the NDP went on record to actively support OCAP, even though they KNEW of the riots and OCAP involvement.  Here is a screen shot of then NDP leader Howard Hampton showing his support for OCAP, an organization called a terrorist group :

     

    hampton ocap

     

    kormos ocap

     

    I have mentioned a few names from the past. However, this being a year where we are going to have civic election, one of our candidates for Mayor, someone who is touted by the left wing media to be a goodie two shoes, seems to have some serious questions that need some serious answers to to. Here we see a twiter feed from a recent follower reminding us that Olivia Chow supported the riots and OCAP as well :

     

    chow-supporting-ocap-terrorists

     

    In fact, it appears the Ms, Chow and her late husband, Jack Layton  where not exactly the role models  they would have you believe they were . 

     sourced from here at :  http://eyecrazy.blogspot.ca/2014/03/reinventing-history-olivia-chow-style.html

     

    chow no angel

    So, Ms. Chow, can you tell us, the voters, did any  of your office budget go  to directly or through a third party,  provide financial support for this organization that was referred to as a terrorist organization , an organization who’s actions you seemingly supported? Is this they type of mayor this city wants? A mayor who supports terrorists ?

     

    This , while strongly worded shows the anger of decent citizens towards those who support terrorism and groups like OCAP :

     

    chow layton

     

     Here is a screen shot of Olivia Chow where she encourages people to commit welfare fraud, through misuse of the special diet program, the same program where Dr. Roland Wong, an OCAP Dr. lost his license to practice for defrauding the people of Ontario to the tune of 1.8 million dollars. No doubt, some of that illegally gotten money being funneled back to OCAP , and in  the same screen shot, wanting the police to back off while violent criminals riot at Queens park :

     

    chow encouraged welfare fraud

     

    Here is a screen shot as proof that OCAP gets union financial support :

     

    50k a year to ocap

     

    So far, I  have outlined just the surface of OCAP, some of the ways they are funded , by whom they are funded by and those who fund them are in  fact supporters of this domestic terrorist organization. I have shown that the NDP party is one of their supports even though they KNOW full well, that OCAP has a long standing history of criminality, violence  and uses property destruction as a tool  to get attention.  There is little doubt that this is a dangerous organization  and further, given the right political powers in place, this same organization could have potential free reign . Indeed, I have shown also that the individuals running or leading these political parties are supporting them. That means that  YOURS and my tax dollars , hard earned monies are being used to fund terrorism by OCAP , monies funneled through political parties.

     

    Now, let me introduce you all to  the  whos who at OCAP .  Remember that with the Pan-Am games fast approaching, this organization along with their supporters will no doubt be planning actions against these games. Here with the list of the whos who, I want to make their faces clearly obvious so as to ensure they cant hide.

     

    The first and obvious face is that of the head of OCAP John Clarke . he will come across as a fairly articulate person but don’t mistake his ability to speak with his desire to use violence . he will at the drop of a hat resort to it when and if it serves HIS agenda

     

    john clarke ( ocap )

     

    maxresdefault

     

     

    The next person on this list is Marc ( Mark ) Brill . Brill is purported to be the number two man at OCAP and there have been  rumblings about an internal feud between Clarke and Brill with respects to the direction they want OCAP to be heading in. Brill wants a MUCH more violent and militant OCAP and in fact it is Brill who is the direct connection between  the local violent anarchists and OCAP . It is well known that OCAP is the training ground and organization for new anarchists in Toronto and Brill heads this. With the purported internal feud between Brill and Clarke over leadership and direction , I have heard rumblings that Clarke was going to stay on as leader of OCAP until after the 2014 municipal elections. While none of this is confirmed , it appears to make some sense. Clarke has gone so far as to post a note asking for donation for his own personal pension from OCAP . This could prove interesting.

     

    Brill , until not long ago, resided on Dundas Street near the famed anarchist house at 311  George but according to Brill himself he  went ” underground ”  to better be able to work his anarchist plans without being detected. His own words according a source close to OCAP is that Brill and his band of brain dead anarchists are  preparing for the Pan Am games  and will be using the local municipal elections as a proving ground for planned actions .  Marc  Brill is someone that needs a great of attention  focused directly on him  and anyone he is in contact with . Marc Brill is a former post Office worker who was fired as a result of significant abuses towards his fellow workers. He has no trouble at all using violence as a protest tool . He came across significant funds when he inherited a very high end furniture store. it is reported the he squandered most it away on wild drug filled parties, but that has never been proven.  Here is Brill :

    The next person to keep close watch on the Lissa Skofield another one of the paid OCAP persons . Lissa is a rude individual who has a hate for an one and anything that conflicts with her twisted view of the world . She is a KEY organizer at OCAP and has the most intimate and detailed knowledge  of everything OCAP has done or is planning on doing. Here is Lissa :

     

    lissa skofield ( ocap )

     

    _Y0X4630

     

     The next person on the list of KEY OCAP organizers is Kelly Sue-Burgess. While i do not know a very great deal about her yet, she appears to be a person who does much of the logistics around OCAP while not doing a great deal of speaking. During the March 22   protest I made mention of above, I observed her on many occasions running around to the top professional protesters  to make sure they were where she wanted them.  She needs to be paid attention to . Here she is :

     

    _Y0X4644

     

    The next person from OCAP is one you don’t pay attention to very often but she is very much a voice, Literally for OCAP. OCAP is an organization that is racist, make no mistake about it, but to appear inclusive for the media , they use Chantal , a  woman of color to give the inclusive  appearance . Here she is :

     

    chantal ( ocap )

     

    The next person on the list of OCAP organizers is a person name John Mura . John, may appear as a elderly man in his early 70’s ( he is 72 ) but he come with a great deal of experience as a professional protester. John’s history, according to John himself dates back to Montebello riots where by his admission, he worked as a street medic to assist injured protesters. His knowledge of police tactics is a huge asset to OCAP since there will likely be violent protests leading up to  the Pan Am games . John has experience in this area and OCAP needs experienced people . here is John Mura:

     

    john mura  ( ocap )

     

     

     

    The next person also needs little introduction. Macdonald Scott is a long time OCAP organizer and is very active with them. Those not in the know think he is a legal genius , but in fact, he is an immigration consultant only. He is NOT a lawyer or a paralegal  but has been know to offer legal advice to OCAP members during protests. He is married to another well know OCAP supporter and organizer, Leslie Wood who is also a professor of sociology at York University . Here is MacDonold Scott:

    macdonald scott

     

    Next on the list is a guy named Ryan. Not a great deal is known about him but he is present at just about every OCAP event and seem to know all the ” right ” people in the professional protest world . He is worth watching . Here he is :

     

    ryan ( ocap )

     

    Next on the list of people at OCAP to keep in ones sights is Gary . Gary is an older person but has a long standing history with OCAP . He know most of what goes on in there  and is often front and center at their events .  Here is Gary :

     

    Gary ( ocap )

     

    The last person I want to expose in this section is Sigrid Kneve. OCAP was originally  created by John Clarke and Sue Colis. Sue Colis is the wife of radical and dangerous criminal Shawn Brant , the same Brant who has a long standing history  of violent and illegal blockades of roads and railways . It is well known that in the early years of OCAP, OCAP got much of its funding through the sale of illegal cigarettes which came from the Six Nations Indian reserve. Sue colis is, as far as I a aware, not participating in OCAP events any more  at least not public ones. However, now, along comes Sigrid Kneve, who just happens to be from the exact same place. Her presence is even more significant now in light of the many aboriginal radical uprisings taking place, something OCAP is able to capitalize upon. Sigrid travels back and forth between Toronto and the Six nations reserve so she brings back with her, direction from six nations, and while this is only speculation on my part, I much wonder if she is running funds back to Toronto, and to OCAP from Six nations .  Sigrid was one of the recent ” graduates ” of the OCAP anarchist training camp  and has been a front and center figure at every protest in this city for some time. She is a text book example of a professional protester. Sigrid is absolutely one to keep a very close eye on as she is very much in the loop with what is going on, and where.  Here is Sigrid Kneve:

     

    sigrid kneve ( ocap )

     

    So far in this section, I have shown clearly the connections between the NDP party, certain politicians  and OCAP .  I wanted to use this  part to act as a small review of OCAP and some of the key players, while also, introducing some new persons and events specific to that / those persons.

     

    This is, however, just the beginning. In part two, I will take this further and show the deep connections between the radical student unions, I will show the history of the support of violence of these radical student unions and as an added bonus, a surprise .  UNIFOR plays a key role in the second part of the story . Here is a small hint …. She went away for a while, changed unions and has come back . Pictures and story to follow very soon. Stay tuned  for part two …………………..


  • Unifor and the seeming demise of the CFS … how real is this and are we in serious danger as a result …. part 3

    Meow everyone. Well, you will r3emember the last articles i wrote on UNIFOR and the  CFS  and what plan was in the works , seemingly, for the CFS.  This article, a continuation of the previous ones, will get into greater detail as to why I suggest that a merger between the CFS and UNIFOR  is a very real possibility . This article will names names f the key players ( and of show show you who they are  with their images ) and I will outline their connection to either the CFS, UNIFOR or other unions.

     

    Remember as well that if you wish to see the images in full size, simply click onto them .

     

    The first place to start is at the top, the OFL ( Ontario Federation of Labor ) Of course we all know who slippery Sid Ryan is, Who Irwin Nanda and Nancy Hutchinson are , however, for those who need a reminder, here they are again:

     

    ofl involvement

    However, I want to concentrate on those with CFS connections so, here is a picture of Joel Duff to begin with .

     

    644194_491750894216312_359420425_n

     

    Duff is no stranger to radical activism. He was up to the point when he joined the OFL back on or about January  03- 2011, the head organizer with the CFS. He was also the CFS Ontario chairman previous to that. As the head organizer for the CFS, he was involved in  organizing a plethora of radical  actions ranging from the failed  ” DROP FEES ” campaign  to organizing the student protests for the G20 as seen here:

     

    duff et al at G20

     

    Duffs asset to the OFL is significant as he is fully bilingual  and has significant connections across  Canada , primarily with the most radical student organizations. This guy is one to keep a very close watch on .

     

    The next person on the list is Denise Hammond. Hammond was until recently the president of CUPE 1281, the most radical of the CUPE union locals , as well, she was the director of outreach and communications  for the Ryerson Student Union.  Hammond ran 1281 and the student union with an iron fist and very few dared to take her on. Hammond was for a period of time in a personal relationship with Duff so the union / CFS  was deeply seeded into them both. However, Hammond all of a sudden simply gave up her presidency of local 1281 , something she could have had , unchallenged for life , to, wait for it, join  UNIFOR . She  gave up a significant title and , the salary that went with it.  Hammond is now working here :

     

    hammond  001

     

     

    hammond 1

    The next images we see are those of Hammond and her twitter feed where she tells us she is a founding member of UNIFOR . So, my question is; Why would she leave , or give up her seat as a CUPE president  to become a simple rank and file founding member of this new organization?

     

    hammond founding member

     

    hammond founding member  1a

     

    hammond new union 1

     

    Pictured with Hammond  is another person of some note. Greg Denton . Denton was the director of communications for CUPE local 1281 and worked directly under Hammond at the Ryerson Student Union. Denton left  to go to Halifax to work for the local NDP candidate there . It is unclear to me if he has returned to Toronto to stay.

     

    greg denton

     

    denton 001

     

     

    Halifax is not foreign territory to either the CFS, the RSU and some of its former executive. Rebecca Rose who was a past President  and Vice president  of the RSU, moved to Halifax to take over the director of outreach and communication for the CFS out there.

     

    rebbeca rose 1

     

    While in Halifax, Rose worked for Kaley Kennedy who was the Chairperson of  the  CFS out there .

     

    kaley kennedy

     

    If that name is not familiar to you , it should be. you see , Kaley has a sister, Shelby Kennedy, who, just so happened to be the CRO ( chief returning officer )  for the Ryerson Student Union elections in February  2013.

     

    kaley kennedy ( left ) sister shelby on right

     

     

    So far with the exception of Joel Duff and Denis  Hammond, we only have only some loosely based connections to the union movement but strong  CFS connections and ties. Now, we need to look a bit deeper at those with far greater input and connections to both organizations to see that my postulation of this possible merger is more than just a theory of mine. The first hint of this as being a very possibility comes from UNIFOR themselves. This screen shot below  shows very clearly that indeed, UNIFOR is looking to recruit STUDENTS to thier ranks:

     

    unifor students

     

     With the possibility of adding students the ranks of UNIFOR, the question then becomes: How would students, many who are either not working, or have low wage employment and part time at that, going to be able to afford union membership?  The answer lies with  the realistic possibility and likely hood of a merger between UNIFOR and the CFS where the students who now are forced to pay into an organization they as students have zero say in, an organization that does nothing for students now, an organization that forces students to be members regardless of whether they want to be members or now, would now be forced to become members of a new organization, again, regardless of whether they wish this or not.  UNIFOR gains about three hundred thousand new instant members, some highly radicalized which is exactly what they want, and more importantly, they gain millions of YOUR student dollars , while doing NOTHING for you.  So, who  are the ones playing roles behind the sences to make this happen?  While the CFS currant and past executive of course .

     

    OK, so , so far I have offered up my theory that there may be a realistic merger taking place sometime in the near future between the CFS and UNIFOR. Next, we need to look at the players directly related to this possibility and who they are. Not too long ago, there was a rather detailed article about the potential demise of the CFS and the key figure in this article should come as  no real surprise to anyone. Here is the article in question :

     

    INGLE cfs story

     

    Did you catch that? The name mentioned in this article should be one that many in the radical activist and anarchist community should know very well. Ashleigh Ingle.  Ashleigh is no stranger to radical activism , as often time, she can be seen at various radical protests yelling things like fuck the police, eat the rich and other like minded claptrap. However, Ashleigh leads another life, one as a teacher in none other than one of more most exclusive private schools in Toronto. While she may be a radical anarchist, she is brilliant, a PHD student in astro-physics  if i recall correctly.  Here is an image  Ashleigh I shot during a not to distant protest at Ryerson University:

     

    ashligh ingle

    Ashleigh is also very heavily involved with the  U of T grad studnets union. this is one of the student  unions looking to leave the CFS. This student union is known as being one of the most radical student unions out there.  During the G20, it the U of T grad student union that was raided by the police on a Sunday morning  to arrest several black bloc anarchists who here being housed there , from Montreal. The same student union was being run by a guy named Daniel Vandervoort. Vandervoort is a very loyal CFS supporter as seen here in this image below. He is also one of the ones I have named in a picture above with Joel Duff during the G20 in Toronto. :

     

    vandervoort

     

    I spoke about the U of T graduate student union an dhow it was raided during the G20 where several black bloc  anarchists from Montreal were arrested. Those arrested later had the charges dropped. however, I am of the opinion that the charges were dropped  because of the administrative nightmare that the G20 was fast becoming. While many were arrested, it appeared that the  crown was more interested in focusing their efforts on prosecuting  those who had significant roles that included property destruction. While others were arrested for failing to provide ID when legally required, or for being in direct proximity to restricted areas, the cost of those prosecutions would have added significant costs so, it was, simply cheaper to let some go.

     

    The U of T students Union directors  where not at all unaccustomed to radical actions. back in about the summer of 2009, the then director of outreach and communication, Angela Regnier   was an  active participant during the blockade of the Gardiner Expressway by the Tamil protest .  She was subsequently arrested for her role but  those charged were later dropped.

    Untitled

     

    Oh look, another former CFS executive member … quell surprise . It was widely rumored but never outright fully confirmed that Angela Regnier  was then the partner of another radical student union head, Jeremy Salter, Salter was the director of outreach and communication for the York University  Federation of students  and now, HE is the head organizer for the CFS, replacing Joel Duff who left to join the OFL some years prior. 

     

    1269548_10151853772480660_915196393_o

     

     

    Here is Salter  , circled wearing the blue shirt , at the G20 during the sunday riot at the holding center. Here he e is with the  Ryerson Students Unions Caitlin Smith , Rodeney Diverlus and Hamid Osman who is now running the york federation of students as their executive director of outreach and communication. I do need to make clear here that while they are indeed pictured here, I am not suggesting that they were participating in either rioting or other illegal acts:

     

    salter in  blue shirt circled

     

    The CFS connection does not end there, however. The currant director of outreach and communication for the U of T student union is none other than Sandy Hudson, former Ontario Chair person for the CFS.

     

    Sandy-Hudson

     

    sandy hudson CFS  on chair

     

    So now, we have a former CFS chairperson running the very same student union that wants to  leave the CFS. This cannot be happening right under her nose without her knowledge and approval .

     

    However, Ms. Hudson is not the only CFS executive member who is supporting UNIFOR and its desire to gain more members.  Next, we need to look at the CURRANT head of the CFS,  Alistar Woods. Here he is :

    However, still, the CFS / UNIFOR does not end there. y4et another former CFS chairperson is deeply involved with UNIFOR, seemingly in a communication and outreach capacity . Let me introduce you to Roxanne Dubois:

    Here is a direct twitter feed note that clearly indicated Roxanne Dubois as being their community organizer . What is very interesting to note here is that UNIFOR was, from the time I have been at Ryerson, the first UNION to actually present as , and for union agendas, to students at a seminar such as this. this is yet another indication that UNIFOR is actively looking to students and student unions to become part of THEIR membership :

     

    roxanne dubois unifor community organizer

     

     With all these former and present CFS executive members being involved with UNIFOR, it is not at all a stretch to suggest that a merger between the two organizations  is not too far off. However, that leaves the question of why, and who this merger, if indeed it were to happen, benefit?  As well, what would the consequences  of such a merger, be to students?

     

    However, I have one  other person of significant note to ad to the list here of former CFS leaders and radical student union leaders that have joined UNIFOR an din this case, as a founding member. Nora Lorreto is no stranger to radical politics and as the former president of the Ryerson Student Union, the former  head of communications for the CFS , she is a big name to add to their ranks.  Loretto  is well connected across Canada and has significant ties to both the union , anarchist and  student movements.  Indeed, here connection to the anarchists is very close to home for her. Her partner Jesse Greener is even seen sporting an anarchist tie at the going away party for Joel Duff when Duff joined the OFL. Here is Jesse greener and his wonderful anarchist tie:

    Nora recently  wrote  a ” book ” on  unions and how students should embrace them. I  promise to give her  book the exact same attention I give to the clap trap written  by Judy Rebbick  :

    However, our Ms.  Nora is also no stranger to radical activism. here she is telling us all the laws in Quebec need to be broken :

    Nora has spoken out against the idea of  student unions leaving the CFS .however, with all these people who were or still are with the CFS, and with all these seemingly close connections to UNIFOR  what then is really going on?  I  will outline that in the next installment so stay tuned………..

     


  • Unifor and the seeming demise of the CFS … how real is this and are we in serious danger as a result ….. Part 1

    Meow everyone. this is a developing story that i will be digging into very deeply. We all know that this new union called UNIFOR has already stated they want to become more militant. This past week, there have been reports that the CFS ( the Canadian Federation of Students ) is facing de-certification proceedings from no less than 16 university student unions. Some of the most radical  student unions looking to seemingly leave the CFS are the U of T grad student union , York University student union  and the Ryerson Student union.

     

    On the surface, this is great news, as the CFS is nothing than a bully organization , in  my opinion , and have a long history of doing nothing for students.  Oh yes, students are forced to pay huge levy fees as part of their tuition fees to be a member of this pathetic organization , and in fact, most students want nothing to do with them. However, these fees are not optional as each student is FORCED to pay into this.

     

    Stay tuned to this page as i will be exposing the CFS   for being what they really are and will formulate a hypothesis as to the connection this seeming demise of the CFS plays right into the hands of UNIFOR. This will be a multi part story and yes, I will be showing some of the nepotism within the CFS  to  show how this union connection is not far fetched. Lastly, I will show the very significant danger this poses  to the national security of this country . Think I am reaching here? After you read the series, you may just agree with me . Stay tuned ………………….

     

    Let me leave you with three screen shots to peak your interest. This first one says a lot,  and remember,  that  the 2015 federal elections are not that far off :

  • ***** BREAKING NEWS ***** Violent anarchist criminal goes to court

    Meow everyone, This just in ….. many of you will recall that about a year ago, the author of  https://kitty.protestnerd.com  was violently attacked as he was on his way home from a quiet night out by a group of low life goons. This took place shortly after  the anarchist book fair ended for the day at nearby U of T  for the day. One of the violent criminals involved was none other than out well know resident black block goon , Alex Balch , aka Flagpole  Alex.

     

    flagpole 1

     

    Well,  since these anarchists are not going to win any awards for their intellectual prowess , Flagpole proved once again that not only do these thugs still use the same techniques used by their direct ancestors , the cave men , these anarchists seem to have the same level of intelligence. Oh , wait, I just oppressed   cave men for being stupider that anarchists.  My Apologies  to cave men everywhere. it took sone time , but as they say, the cops ALWAYS get their man  , and true to form, our resident goon and user of flagpoles , Mr. Balch was first rated out by his great friend and intellectual equal, Curtis Nixon. Thank you Curtis for helping move this case along.  Not long after that, Flagpole  Alex showed up at Ryerson University to help staff a table run by the new organization endorsed by the Ryerson Student union, yes, an anarchist student club. It was there that Mr. Balch met his ultimate fate, one that all criminals eventually meet, he got , finally, arrested for his violent crime. Now,  if only more of these dangerous and violent criminals would meet the same fate, this city would be a far safer place to live.

     

    flag-pole-busted-6

     

    Moving ahead a few months, as the justice system does take its time, Today, our fiend , the Flagpole of George street made a court appearance on the following charges stemming from this vicious and violent attach; ASSAULT WITH A WEAPON , ASSAULT CAUSING BODILY HARM , AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.  His hearing was held in Old City Hall courtroon 111 at 9:00 am and was held over until Sept 16, same courtroom also at 9:00 am . 

     

    His actions goes a long way to proving that these anarchists are a highly dangerous group of thugs who will go to just about any length to try and silence   those who expose their acts of criminality. As the court proceeding ended, ( it was a very short proceeding lasting only about three minutes ) Balch exited the court room to the exterior of the court to have a smoke. I exited shortly after he did, and  saw him outside, He left upon seeing me. he made his way to the one spot where he can feel safe, his anarchist home on George street where other like minded,  and equally violent anarchists can commiserate  and plan their next attacks. It was at this very home where not once but twice in very recent succession, they were raided.  While I don’t know the nature of these raids, what does please me is that at least the cops have them on their radar  big time.

     

    I will be following this story as it unfolds so stay tuned ………..

     

     

     

    ***** UPDATE *****

    I have been contacted by Alex Balch directly via the comment section of this blog  ( from another article ) and he informed me that he was acquitted of the charges against him . Alex updated me on the events leading up to this arrest . While Alex and I clearly do not , nor will be agree on too many things , or see eye to eye, I do appreciate Alex contacting me, and communicating  with me on a respectful manner .


  • Be afraid, be very afraid

    Meow everyone. I was going to publish my continuing series on fringe groups today, however, last week a very significant event took place that I think needed to be published as a priority. I think after reading this, you will see why this had to be written now but further, this story still has a fringe group element to it. 

     

    What took place last week is something we all need to be very concerned with,  as it, in my opinion, has all the makings of an “ anarchists for hire “  type of  organization where goon squads will now have backing for their cause, and unions will have professional goon squads at the ready,  but at what price.

     

    Last week, as with ever year, CUPE Ontario held their annual convention at the Sheratan Hotel in downtown Toronto. This on its own is not overly newsworthy and in fact received little media attention on its own. All the usual suspects where, Fast Freddie Haun as the Ontario President, all the Ontario locals and of course the OFL ( Ontario Federation of  Labor ) under the dictatorship of slippery Sid Ryan. This was a convention were policies are made, officers elected and a bunch of patting each other on the back. Of course, no union convention is complete without the usual “ the problems with the economy is everyone else’s fault but ours “. Well, no one ever said unions lived in reality. As usual, a  union contingent, about 500 in total even marched in protest to the Ontario Ministry of labor to bitch and complain. Unions are good at that and with fast Freddie Haun as the main speaker,  the shrill of union arrogance  was over emphasized.

     

    The highlight of this convention was, however, not the bitching and complaining of unions, no, not even how they hate government legislations that rein in unions. No, the highlight was the merger of two unions, the Canadian Auto Workers unions and the Communications, Energy and Paper workers union.

    And here is the new logo with the union unions now merged

    unifor press release

     

    This merger was nineteen months in the making according to the press release.

     

    new union merplan anouncment

     

     

    Pay very close attention to the dates here. The announcement was made, as I stated, last week, the end of May 2013. The press release stated that this was nineteen months in the making, which means that they started to have discussion back at around the time that Occupy Toronto was being evicted. I encourage everyone to read my series on occupy Toronto as linked here : https://kitty.protestnerd.com/category/occupy-toronto/     to gain a far better understanding of the significance that the unions had on the occupy movement here, and what happened when the unions backed away.

     

    A quick recap for those uninitiated was that the unions needed bodies to use as cannon fodder for a widely anticipated strike against the city of Toronto but our mayor basically told them in no uncertain terns that  “ this is our offer, take it or leave it ”. The unions accepted the offer knowing they would not be able to get the city to cave in under this mayor, so, the bodies they once embraced, were now as quickly abandoned by the same unions.

     

    The unions stayed quiet for a while in order to not draw to much attention to themselves but by no means where they idle. In fact, ken Lewenza was seen at the Idle No More supporting an illegal blockade in Sarnia  Ontario.

     

    CAW ken lewenza

     

     

    The OFL hosted under the name of Ontario Common Front hosted a conference at the University of Toronto were the leaders of just about every ultra left wing radical group / leader, was present. The CUPE convention of last week was no less different in that they too had a major player from Idle No More, Vanessa  Gray as a speaker and further, they even had OCAP there to promote themselves .

    ocap at  cupe convention

     

     

    OCAP very  recently  “ graduated “  a new crop of cannon fodder. I will get into much greater detail about this in  the continuation of my fringe group series, however, I wanted to show here that each so called stake holder has taken steps to add to their numbers.

     

    ocap

    In fact, even as recently as last night, John Clarke from OCAP was meeting with various groups to as he put it “  plan out for sustained action. “

     

    twitter feed

     

     

    One of the major differences between this new union and other is who they will allow in as members. Unions usually are open to those who work in certain fields , whether it be steel workers, plumbers, electricians and so forth. HOWEVER, and this is very important to note, this new union will allow anyone to join including those who are not employed at all. I will get into the dangers this presents shortly.

     

    unifor

     

     

    Just a few images above, I posted the official press release for this new merger. One of the most significant names at the bottom of this press release is the name of Roxanne Dubois.

     

    dubois

     

     

    Roxanne Dubois was until very recently, the national chairperson of the highly ultra left wing and highly radical Canadian Federation of Students ( CFS ). The CFS is an organization that claims it represents students in the college and university system, but in fact, they do little to nothing for those same students who pay huge membership fees to be a part of this draconian, self serving organization. It is very common that once a person has completed their term at the CFS, they are usually appointed to cushy union gigs or with other ultra left wing organizations. I can name many who have gone this route but that would be an article on its own.

     

    While according to the press release, Dubois is the director of communications ,  and, as with all former CFS executive, she is and always be very closely connected to the CFS, and here is were we have the real problem. The CFS is home to the most radical of the university student unions, the Ryerson Student Union being one of those member student unions. These ultra radical student unions are very closely associated with some of the most dangerous fringe groups in the country, No one is Illegal, OCAP and the anarchist movement, are the first that come to mind.  Note in the official press release shown above, how the Ryerson Student Union building was home to the announcement. The Ryerson Student Union is one of the largest supporters of the anarchist movement, even having an official student group just for anarchists.

     

     

    Students need to be very worried about this as well because they may find themselves being forced to pay new student levies, as forced membership, into this new union, something they likely would not want. Another major problem that students should have with this is that since contract workers are being actively invited to be members, student who will try and get those coveted work study campus jobs, all of which are contract positions,  may  be forced to become union members regardless of whether they want to be one or not. This then also raises the issue of nepotism because well know that unions and union based organizations  are the most nepotistic organizations out there, hiring only their close friends, family or known union supporters.

     

     

    Remember the press release stated that pretty much anyone can be a member of this union. Now, recall that during Occupy Toronto, the unions not only co-opted the movement but also had many paid individuals act as leaders / facilitators to ensure union agendas were the only concerns being addressed and acted upon. Well as we jump ahead, we see clear evidence of unions embracing other radical movements and facilitating radical based meetings and conferences. This new membership position taken by this new union opens the door wide open for these highly dangerous fringe groups like anarchists, OCAP , No One is Illegal and their members to become members and  have access to virtually unlimited funding of their agendas ( with strings attached of course ) With close to thirty thousand members on hand now, based on the newly merged unions,  those numbers could swell exponentially and those bodies, many of them, cannon fodder, would make a formidable destructive force that would very likely be beyond the capabilities of even the largest law enforcement agencies to handle. In my opinion, the unions are preparing for political war and all that comes with it. We saw that during the G20 here in Toronto.

     

    I have shown previously that Slippery Sid Ryan  has something up  the sleeve of his tailored shirt and he as much as said so in this twitter feed message he sent back on or about January 26 : 

     

    comment-made-on-december-13-20121


     

    Several major events are planned for 2015. The Pan Am games will be held here in Toronto but the most significant event will be the 2015 federal elections. It is clear these unions are gearing up for a fight, paving the way to have lots of disposable bodies to do their dirty work for them.  This new union and their new membership position is nothing more than a means to not only swell their numbers, but also to add to their bottom line.  To wage a war, even a political one, requires  significant  amounts of money,  and by allowing members in,  in the way they plan on allowing for new members, it is clear that this new union is not about protecting workers rights but rather, by building up ones war chest for a major battle.

     

     

     

    Somehow, the star which is indicative of the communist party seems to be a major center point with these guys. Remember as well that many  of these  unions are in deep with  violent organizations such as the  International socialists.  I will discuss them in far greater detail in the continuation of my series on fringe groups.

     

    With groups and organizations  like this around, we need to understand that these groups are not interested in accomplishing anything peacefully. With guys like Lewenza supporting a clearly illegal blockade, with the OFL holding conferences that are made up with the dangerous and destructive organizations and their leaders  as invited guests and speakers, it is not a stretch to postulate that they are indeed getting their troops for a battle.  I have little doubt that Toronto will yet again be a major battle ground for the ultra left wing idiots who already one tried to destroy this city in the not too distant past.  At least this time , law enforcement will be much more ready and better prepared, they now k now who is behind all this.


  • The Rise and Fail of Occupy Toronto…. part eight

    Meow everyone. With mind control techniques, crack pipes and booze filled occupations, the inevitable  was not far behind, that being the much anticipated and greatly desired ( by the area residents ) eviction of the occupy movement from the park. However, certain stake holders in Occupy Toronto were not  quite done destroying the reputations of legitimate activists just yet. There were still perqs out there they wanted  had a few tasks still to complete. Once again, as before, images used are a combination of my own and material found on line.

    Before you read my story here, I very strongly urge you to go here and read this superior article posted here by GenuineWitty. He has a great insight into the way unions work and operate. I will be expanding on this in great detail in upcoming articles  as well,  but for now, read this first:

    https://kitty.protestnerd.com/2013/03/03/how-the-unions-are-using-the-anarchist-thugs-to-muscle-porter-airlines-feat-sid-ryan-tony-depaulo-ken-lewenza/

     

     

    The players

     

     

    If there was ever a clear and transparent view of how a cult works to take over the mind and them the body, Trey Winney is the poster child of this transformation. Trey Winney, like myself , was a marshal, and a good one, his calm demeanor was something I was in awe of actually. He could defuse a situation like no one I have seen do. I got to know  him a little bit and was happy to call him a friend. We got along very well and we sought out each other when we need to talk, or vent, or both. Trey was a guy I had a great deal of respect for. I recall him, like myself, becoming so incensed at the drug use, the violence, the inactions of the facilitators when they were made aware of these things, he went on a hunger strike. I was only too happy to support him, comfort him when he needed and I did my best to ensure he remained healthy. He was always in the park.

    Image

     Image

     One day, I noticed that he was away for a few days which for him was highly unusual. Sure enough, I checked his tent and as suspected, he was not there. He was so sick he had to go home for a few days to recover. Something happened. Trey would never use violence on anyone, however when he came back, he was a different person. His attitude was different, his approach was different, Trey was different. I watched him go from a peaceful person to what he is today, a person who is willing to use violence, is aggressive and hostile and as one former occupier told me, his whole life, now, revolves around protesting. He is close friends with Dave Vasey, and while he has every right of course to choose whom he wishes to befriend, I also think his fragile mental state is such that he will be lead into a situation,  he cannot escape from,  as a scapegoat for Vasey. I am not sad in any way that Occupy Toronto is no more. I am, however sad that  a friend  whom I actually liked and cared about, got sucked in  by  a cult. Trey is a good person  making some bad decisions right now but please, don’t write him off as a result of these bad decisions. If he is strong, his heart and will, will lead him back  to the real world. Occupy Toronto was not only destroying whatever potential it had as a movement to make positive change, it was destroying people who truly believed in it. Occupy destroyed whatever hopes people had. Occupy Toronto  used people for the good of only a select few facilitators, who only their own self interests in mind, and treated everyone else as disposable.

     

     Occupy indeed was an “ us vs.  them “  cult,  only,  the “ them”  was everyone who was not part of that close and secret inner circle.  Trey Winney, sadly, fell into the spell and allure of the cult, its leaders and what the cult offered him. Trey, is a good person who must his own way back because right now, he is on the fast track to a prison cell at the rate and direction he is going. Trey is being used and manipulated, yet, the sad part is,  he does not see this, does not recognize this as happening to him. When Trey is ready to return, there will be a friend there waiting for him to welcome him back and help him, as much, or as little as he wishes, to reinvent him back to the person he has the full potential to become.  I don’t leave my friends, I don’t forget them, I give them whatever space they need to find themselves,  and,  I reassure then how good a person they actually are.

     

    Mischa Saunders, Daniel Roth, Sarah Rotz, Lana Goldberg, Laine Newmann, Taylor Flook, Wilsun Tso, Nele Micheals, Kevin Konnyu, Bryan Batty, Sakura Saunders, Dave Vasey, Octavian Cadabeschi. These were the ones in total charge. Everything went through them first and foremost.  They ran the show, or more correctly, they acted  in the capacity of the  front persons  for Occupy Toronto,  as occupy was really run by the unions. While this has not been established as absolute fact, it is widely rumored that CUPE,  who had a huge vested interest in the Occupy Toronto movement, sent in one of their local senior executives, to not only monitor the daily activities of Occupy, but to ensure that Occupy was addressing the union concerns first and foremost, basically making sure union agendas and mandates were the top priority of Occupy Toronto. There was always a senior union official form at least one of  the various unions at the Occupy Toronto encampment, or very near by. This was not random chance ,  but rather, it was  by design.

    Pictured above is Lana Goldberg , ( far left )  AKA Lana Brite. Lana is the partner of Dave Vasey  and is a union organizer with very close ties to the OFL as will be seen in an upcoming article.

    The above persons are named as the name of the image file. These people profited from Occupy Toronto, They did it while hiding the facts from YOU. They claimed that Occupy was totally open and transparent, yet, nothing about it was that. Occupy was really Occu-LIE. Occupy was run by the Unions, FOR the unions. These leaders / Facilitators did what the unions wanted them to do and this will be proven in the next series of stories.

    There was the anarchist contingent as well, however, and quite surprisingly, the anarchists were some of  best behaved people at the park. On marches of course, it was the usual “ fuck the police “ make the rich pay and the usual pointless slogans we have become accustomed to hearing.  As much as I dislike anarchy as I understand it, and keep in mind that I do not claim to understand anarchy as the anarchists themselves explain it, I was quite surprised to see a different side of the anarchists than what I have seen previously. While there was the usual “ lets just smash shit up contingent “ , what impressed me was the fact that several of these anarchists are actually very well educated. This broke of the first stereotypes I had of anarchists. If I was going to be at the occupation encampment, there was no reason for me not to learn about some of the groups and people who were there as well. I actually worked along side one of the cities best known anarchists, as both of us of acted in the capacity of  marshal. Brandon, if you are reading this, we may not agree on  many things but I did form a considerable respect for you,  as you were  always respectful to me.

    Image

    Brandon is now reported to be living in Montreal. He uses Brandon Gray online but is also known as Brandon Gamble, Brandon Gambleu and Brandon Gamblen.

     

     One of the things I learned about anarchy and anarchists was that anarchy itself cannot be stereotyped into one group or type of persons. Anarchists do come from many walks of life. I still do not understand anarchy, but at least,  from  the little exposure I did have with them, I did learn one or two things that were very much in contradiction to what I had envisioned in my mind. NO, there is zero chance of me becoming an anarchist.

     

    There was the hippy contingent as well. The usual flowers in the hair, singing peace songs, playing with hula hoops and in  some  cases, smelling as if they had not had a shower in years. One thing was certain. If occupy Toronto was to succeed, it wasn’t going to succeed with hippies running the show. They were to busy banging drums and smoking pot. It seemed that to them the answers to all issues were , “ meh, bang on the drums and see what happens”. I’m sure twenty years from now, they may want to spend time questioning the logic of banging a drum, while the rest of society was actually solving problems.

     

    Sunni Ellise Rochelle was one person struck me as a bit of an anomaly in that she runs a small street vender stand selling home made jewellery. Funny , however, she claimed to hate  what business  stood for yet she runs one.    She played the hippy card flawlessly, yet she  was one a very few who seemed to be able to fit into side of reason as well. She is very mellow and easy going and even with all that went on in the park, I never once saw her get upset or angry, at least not visibly.

    Image

     

    There was Kevin Konnyu. There were many stories going around that he was some sort of super agent, well , just about everyone was given that title at one time or another at the park.  Kevin is a very skilled photographer in the Toronto  area who has been shooting for about six or seven years if I recall what he said correctly. He has a very good eye for detail and his angles are quite impressive. I don’t agree with his politics,  however,  as an artist, I admire his work. However, Kevin, like Trey Winney seemed to overindulge in the occupy Kool Aid. Like Winney, he went back for seconds. Kevin is well known in the Parkdale area of Toronto and is believed to be in a relationship with another Occupy Toronto low level leader, Nele Michelles  ( sp )  Kevin can often be seen applying his skills  at local roller derby events .

    There was Krystalline Kraus. I would go into detail about the level of stupidity she exhibits on a regular  basis but I would have to use big and intellectual sounding words, something she once asked me to stop using,  because, according to her,  “ that  is  the language of the one percent.”  If someone can explain the meaning of big words to her using crayons, I would appreciate it, so would she.

    A tense day and night as Occupy Toronto waits to be evicted

    Pictured above is Krystalline Krause. Please don’t  use big and intellectually sounding words around her for if you do, she will ask you to stop and they are clearly the language of the so called 1% . If you question her, she will go into a long winded diatribe using small words ( that match her intellect ) about how oppressive, racist, sexist , homophobic and mysogonistic you are. If you reply with anything ever remotely close to intelligent use of words, she will conclude that you are a British Agent because you speak too articulately . It would also be helpful if someone would teach her the difference between a sacred fire and a Canadian Tire BBQ grill, for   she seems to not know the difference. 

     

    I had indicated that Bryan Batty was one of the original Occupy Toronto organizers, and indeed, he was. However, Bryan was quite different  from the rest of the organizers in that he is smart, intelligent, and based on my discussions with him, he has a clarity that many people for senior in years would love to have. It is my firm belief that Bryan was left to be a figure head of occupy, sort of as a media guy because it was he who go things going. However, I am equally convinced that Bryan was forced out by these professional protestors because Bryan had a vision that was true to what occupy was to be premised upon. I think as well, that had Bryan been left to run the show, Occupy would have been vastly different, far better focused, run smoothly, methodically, better organized focused based and goal oriented. Bryan and I did not agree on everything but were both smart enough to know when to agree to disagree, move forward and get things done. Bryan is a guy I had a lot of respect for, still do.

    Occupy Toronto was an anomaly and a great set of contradictions. Occupy Toronto claimed to ensure a safe space policy yet, went out of its way to make certain people feel as unwelcome and unsafe as possible. Occupy Toronto claimed to greatly oppose the so called appropriation of certain cultures, yet went out of the way to ensure that things like yoga and meditation was a huge part of Occupy. Of course, both of those come from  eastern cultures. It seemed as if it was just fine to use the cultures of some for exploitation, yet other cultures are seemingly,  so called,  untouchable. It was really just a flavor of the month when it came to what was to be exploited and what was to be left alone. The leaders  / facilitators were the sole entity that was to decide what  was to be followed and what was to remain as untouched.  Democracy at its finest, just like every other communist country leader they worship and aspire to be. 

     

     Occupy Toronto failed at even the most basic task of sticking to its own ideals, simply because, Occupy Toronto had no concept of what works, and how, nor did they want to know what works , and how. How could it know, look who was running it and one soon sees why failure was synonymous  with Occupy Toronto. The failure of Occupy Toronto  was etched in stone long before it got started, but rather than walk away with something, anything, the leaders / facilitators wanted to bleed the movement out of every possible microbe of life it could, and for the personal gain of only  a  very select few. To get the answers to what was gained, and by whom, simple, follow the money. 

     

    Over the next few days Occupy Toronto teetered at the  brink of death only to meet its inevitable  fate after 40 days. However, while Occupy Toronto may have finally died,  in its then current incarnation,  it  transformed into the very monster it claimed to oppose. These leaders, facilitators where not quite done with mind control just yet. In a strange sort of way, Occupy Toronto did something that I, as a marshal was not able to accomplish. St. James park was home to just about every scum bag drug dealer in the city. You wanted drugs, it was there. Violence was part and parcel to the park.

     

    What Occupy did accomplish was a clean up of the park, including a complete make over complete with increased police presence such that it is now a safe park to go to, the drug dealers have gone, the violence is greatly reduced, the homeless no longer sleep there, or certainly not in any significant numbers and the area residents can once again enjoy a park that has considerable history  attached to it. People can walk their dogs again, play with their kids and be glad to know that they are not likely to find syringes  and crack pipes littering the park as it did before. No, Occupy didn’t clean the park, the city did. Occupy was so unwelcome and unwanted, a reputation it deserved,  that the city and residents worked together to get the park cleaned up and make the park an unwelcome place to anyone even remotely linked to Occupy. While Occupy left the park, it also left many unanswered questions that many wanted some serious answers to. The research, the digging, the exposing was about to get into high gear.  Time to get some answers, a lot of people wanted answers. There was no shortage of questions, just too few answers and seemingly, very few of them being provided by the leaders / facilitators,   if any,  as being true.

     

    With everything that took place at the park, one question resonated with the vast majority of those who were at the park, were the finances. This was a deeply hidden secret, a secret in an organization that claimed to be fully open and transparent. In the next section, I will address the subject of the Occupy Toronto finances and will offer my opinion as to what really happened to the money.

    Over the next few upcoming articles , I will be making some very direct connections between the  leaders / facilitators of Occupy Toronto and the unions, something they claim was utterly false and never existed. Too bad that i have the images  from events that prove otherwise. Also, as a student, you are going to want to start paying very close attention here as there will be a revelation or two that will be of interest to you as well. your student union leaders are not exactly working for YOU . Stay tuned ………..


  • More Montreal student union stupidity

    Meow everyone, you will all remember that last year, student sin  Montreal went on strike to protest an increase in tuition fees. it was well covered and documented, however, for those who missed it, here is a quick overview.

    Some students learned the old salute used many decades ago Image

    Some saw news of students smashing windows. Oh those poor misunderstood anarchists. They were really studying impact dynamics.

    One person who was at the forefront of al this was a guy named Ethan Cox

    Image

    Image

    Poor Ethan. it appears that he is missing far too many classes these days and important classes as well. For example, here is something he sent out on his twitter feed recently :

    Image

    Ethan, listen up dude, there will an exam on this and this will be one of the questions. Dude, throwing snowballs and small objects at cops is actually a federal offense , called assaulting a police officer. You go to federal prison.  for stuff like that . Imagine having to end up in Kingston Pen for a few years. Well, you’re a nice looking young man, I’m sure you will make many new  ” friends ” .

    Ethan then sends of this wonderful message . [pay close attention to the attached link to the image he sends with it as shown here :

    Image

    Image

    Dude, this looks more like a bunch of cops around a postal service truck than those vicious cops who you claim are attacking peaceful protestors, you now, the same same ones who are throwing snowballs and other small objects at the cops. Dang Ethan , you really need to catch up on your readings here.

    Now Ethan, there was a huge crime being committed, yes. Can you spot it ? Its in this image here that you also posted:

    Image

    Look at all those cops at this SUBWAY shop. Ethan , I know you missed this class as well but dude, the SUBWAY sign is in ENGLISH , NOT French. Oh the humanity, The language police will have a field day from this , as the sign should read LE SUBWAY .

    Now, before everyone gets all over this dude, give him ma bit of a break as he does write for RABBLE.CA, and well know that facts and intellectual content are not priorities  to write for them.


  • Innocent , Unsuspecting Students Being Used as Pawns

    Innocent Students Being Used as Unsuspecting Pawns

     

     

    Meow everyone, this story is one that every single student who attends university needs to know about, because, it affects YOU, whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not. Yes, yes, tuition fees are high, the food in the cafeteria sucks and costs ten time what it should, text books are now equal to mortgage payments. Yes these are all important  issues and I  will address those  in another story down the road. Today, I do, however, wish to address a topic that can very literally effect your safety at your school.

     

    If you attend a school that has a student union that is affiliated with the Canadian Federation of Students ( CFS ), you already, by default, whether you like it or not, are being forced into a political affiliation with groups whose actions are often questionable and possibly even dangerous, and your student union is putting you into that danger. CFS affiliated student unions are usually highly radical and far too often, have a significant anarchist component to them. This anarchist affiliation may be by extension through student groups and / or events run by the student union with invited groups being participants. The Ryerson Student Union is one great example of this , as they have not only a student group dedicated to anarchy being run  by Elyse Moya, but they also have student group events where they openly invite the worst of the worst groups such as OCAP, Fight Back , the International Socialists as participants.  It is not uncommon to have some of the top level anarchists show up to these events.

    Pictured below is the  new  ” World in Exile ”  anarchist student group  funded by the Ryerson Student Union

    On a recent event , there was a panel discussion about what was touted as women’s issues. However, the headline guest speaker was a person named Harhsa Walia. Walia is a well know anarchist from BC whose racist rants are  sadly, far too well documented. In her speech at Ryerson, she proclaimed that the ”  sole purpose of white males was to oppress none white females. ”   Walia is also a significant  black bloc anarchist and had a role to play at the G20 here in Toronto a few years back.

     

    The University of Toronto Student Union is no different. That student union is very closely connect to the anarchist movement and has a long history of supporting anarchy .

    Image

     

    The University of Toronto Graduate Student Union  was in the center of a huge controversy during the G20 when they housed about seventy black bloc anarchists from Montreal . Those anarchists where arrested in a raid and to the best of my understanding, the charges were later either stayed, or dropped outright. However, there were a few problems with the UTGSU and their involvement in that the person who was in charge of this, Daniel Vandervoort claimed that he was on site the entire time . In fact, he was not at all on site the entire as he was a key participant in the G20 protests on the corner of King and bay the day the cars were set on fire.

    Pictured below is Daniel Vandervoort ( top image he is  at far right wearing hat )

    ImageImageImage

    Vadervoort of a devout CFS follower. The CFS was well represented at that same post during the G20  as seen in the image just above.

     

    Another key figure during that same G20 and in fact, at that same spot was a well know anarchist by the name of Kelly Rose Phlug-Back .

    Kelly Rose Phlug Back smashing window  during G20

    Image

    Kelly again thinking her mask can hide her ( silly girl )

    Image

    Kelly again smashing a car window

    Image

    Kelly without her mask

    Image

    She was one of the person who was later arrested, tried and convicted for her crimes.  Recently, she was released fro prison   and is now on a speaking tour about her experiences as a so called political prisoner. More on this in a moment.

    Image

    Image

    Kelly, its like this. Tens of thousands of law abiding persons managed to protest peacefully during the G20. They all had messages they wished to convey and did so in accordance with the laws , dong it in a civil manner. You and  200  of your knuckle dragging neanderthals felt that somehow you were exempt from participating in a lawful, peaceful protest. You  are the architect of your own demise, you caused these actions to be taken against you by YOUR actions.  Its about time you faced up to that and accept responsibility for your actions instead of blaming everyone else. Your just an angry young lady who is pissed of because you got caught, tried and convicted, Get over it, that’s what happened to criminals

     

    George Horton, another  convicted G20 criminal will also be speaking here at the same event . This is the guy who attacked e police car with the Sgt. still inside on Queen Street.  This guy didn’t even want to admit that there was a human being inside this car he was attacking, rather the Sgt. in the car was simply part of the state. George, your one sick puppy if you cannot  identify a human life as something you about to assault.  This cop had a family too but in your  fucked up head, its perfectly fine to assault this person because you don’t like what he does for a living?   The story can be read here at :

    Image

    I indicated that U of T GSU has a history of anarchism. Prior to the G20 another high profile person from the  U of T student Union, Angela Regnier was arrested during a major blockade of a local highway here in Toronto. Ms. Regnier was also the director of Outreach and Communication for the U of T student Union  and , surprise, surprise, was vice chair of the CFS national executive.  Are you seeing a pattern here yet?

    Image

    Image

    Image

     

    OK, lets move ahead to the event I am referring to. There is an enormous problem with having convicted criminals  who knowing , willing and with premeditation, held this city hostage with acts of what is, in my opinion, nothing more that urban terrorism, plain and simple. Then, she has the audacity  to refer to herself as a political prisoner. Well, Kelly, I think that you have had a little too much schnapps for one day and it effected you because, here in Canada, we don’t have political prisoners. The people who are in jail, are people like you, criminals who have committed crimes, got caught,  went through the court system, received a fair and impartial trial, was found guilty, and sentence was pronounced. Maybe, if you would have spent a little more time in the library reading books, you might have learned that you are not in North Korea, or the former Soviet Union where they DO have political prisoners. No Kelly, you are a common thug, a convicted criminal, nothing more.

     

    So, why are the students in danger then? The students are in danger because an event like this will no doubt draw a number of  other  anarchists  as a show of support.  Unsuspecting students who attend this event thinking this is a genuine event to showcase women’s issues will soon learn that this is nothing more than more hate filled rhetoric against an establishment that a certain group of people simply don’t like and don’t wish to play by the rules established.  They have already proven this time and time again.

     

    Students, especially first year students are at the greatest risk here. For many, this is likely the first time they are away from home, the first time they have true freedom to do what they want. They are highly vulnerable, highly impressionable and highly susceptible to  suggestion. These new students want to belong and feel like they do belong. Groups and events like this certainly will attract them and before they know it, they have been indoctrinated  to a life of anarchy, a life of crime and before they know, they are in way over their heads.

    Before anyone starts to jump at my throat, yes, I am fully aware that we have the freedom to say what we want, the freedom to hang out with whomever we want and so forth. However, with freedoms comes a huge responsibility. That responsibility is that we need to ensure that our actions do not cause harm to others. Ms. Back, by her actions caused significant harm to others in the way of  property damage. The tax payers of this city bought that police car she decided to destroy, and to replace it, taxes  have to be raised. She destroyed other private property  that directly effected the lively hood of independent businesses  whose insurance rates went up as a result of the damages caused. That means your insurance rates went up as did  mine. Her conduct effected the very people who can least afford to take that financial hit, you and I. 

     

    I might feel differently about her of she would have shown even a slight hint of remorse for her conduct and actions, but as with all the others who were sent to prison for their crimes during this same G20,  like the cowards she and the rest of her cohorts are, she instead, put the blame on everyone else. Kelly, YOU swung the sticks, YOU broke the windows, YOU got caught. People like her don’t deserve our support and sure as hell don’t deserve to be held up as some sort of hero. Hero’s do the right thing and help people, not ruin their lives.
