STEPHEN HARPER - THE POLITICS OF WAR


This year alone, Canada has lost over 100,000 jobs, largely due to the adverse effects of NAFTA or the North American Free Trade Agreement. It's been the principal mechanism for enabling U.S. corporations to destroy Canada's social, political, and economic independence from the Bush administration’s political-military-industrial complex. The Liberal and Conservative governments were both instrumental in supporting and advancing this so-called "free trade".

There seems to be much uncertainty within the Canadian public and the media regarding why a federal election was called so early in the government's mandate. It's evident one of the main reasons Prime Minister Stephen Harper called this snap vote was to retain power for another five years before the economy as well as his popularity inevitably worsens.

This Conservative Mafioso now aims to further destroy the sovereignty and economic stability of the country under the North American Union (NAU), which will expand our borders and assimilate Canada with the U.S. and Mexico.

A statement Harper made in 1997 demonstrates how little regard he holds for the average Canadian. Speaking to an elitist crowd at The Council for National Policy he remarked, "If you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country… which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians".

If we lacked intellect about anything, it surely was how badly the Commandant and his gang of racketeers would malign and mismanage the nation’s affairs.

During the election campaign, we had to endure the Conservative's party propaganda like the TV ad showing Harper lounging in the proverbial cardigan sweater and big easy chair. Of course, the message he’s trying to convey is he’s just one of the boys -- no different than me and you. You don't need x-ray vision to see the wolf in sheep's clothing.

The reported million Canadians living in poverty couldn’t have been too impressed at the sight of the Chosen One and a few paid stooges blather on about what a wondrous country Canada is and how great a leader we're blessed with. They're either too busy wondering where their next meal is coming from or where they'll hang their hat for the night.

And I don’t imagine it was overly inspiring for relations of the dead and injured Canadian soldiers to listen to a disingenuous homage paid to the troops for their "sacrifice" to the nation.

Seeing as Afghanistan has never threatened Canada in any way -- and the illegal invasion of the country was built on a mountain of Bush administration lies and treachery -- just what sacrifice do you think he's referring to?

Was it for the interests of the global plutocrats whom he serves, or the arms industry who profit immensely from warfare and death?

Maybe Harper was alluding to the poppy production in Afghanistan which has increased 80% since the invasion five years ago and continues unabated. If you thought we went there with the plan to eradicate the crops, better think again. The UN reports that production increased by 300 tonnes in one year with Afghanistan now supplying over 90% of the world's heroin market.

If you connect the dots between the Bush administration, the military complex, the Afghan puppet regime and the pharmaceutical cartels, it's painfully obvious that it ain't a group of rebels or the lowly farmers raking in the billions from the sale of this illegal narcotic. It gives a whole new meaning to the term, "War on Drugs".

"Lest we forget", the Conservative War Machine goes on to preach. The only thing missing is the ominous sound of bagpipes. It seems that the government and the witless, corporate-controlled media have long forgotten about the thousands of innocent civilians killed or injured in this false flag operation erroneously labeled a war on terror.

No, we will never forget Mr. Harper how you conspired with the Bush regime to needlessly sacrifice the lives of Canadians, Americans and Afghans -- under the pretense of fighting a terrorist regime.

Nor will we forget your premeditated and vicious assault on Canadian citizens invested in income trusts. Harper started his election campaign with the promise he'd never allow retirement funds to be raided by taxing income trusts. Harper knew well in advance of his promise what the Telus and Bell syndicates were up to but lied shamelessly and desperately for your vote. How can a man who so vehemently took the Liberals to task for their boondoggle, commit the same indecency and then try and tell Canadians his actions are different? How stupid does this corrupt Neo-Con think Canadians are?

This was not just a broken promise or a bold face lie -- this was premeditated theft of Canadians’ life savings. Never forget who put his stamp of approval on income trusts to win the election, and then stole over $30 billion from the accounts of unit holders he swore to protect. Most were retirees who had invested for the monthly payout and couldn’t afford to lose 25% of their nest egg and still live decently. Harper stated that himself in a Oct 26, 2005 letter to the National Post and on national television.

Watch your noble leader lie and cheat the Canadian public out of billions of dollars here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9mibZYpVPY

42 more lies and counting: http://trustbreaker.freehostia.com/

Harper has stated publicly on numerous occasions of his intent to reduce the high level of criminal activity in Canada with his edict that "those who do the crime will do the time”. Someone should remind this Bildeberger that the most serious of all criminal offenses in Canada is 'high treason', punishable by life imprisonment. Contrary to the misconception some have, no one is above the law of the land -- regardless of the position or level of power they hold.

Don't believe the skewed statistics that indicate some forms of crime have abated. Anyone with a lick of sense can see it's of epidemic proportions in most major centres of the country, even though much of it goes unreported. One factor that helps law enforcement fudge the figures is when numerous crimes are committed by the same person, which in many instances number over a hundred. Often, they deceptively will only be noted as a single offense. 'Two years less a day' and 'conditional sentences', which equate to virtually no sentence or punishment at all, also serve to keep the total numbers in check.

Last election, Harper promised to dissolve the failed gun registry program that has cost taxpayers in excess of $2 billion dollars. The good news for the criminals was that they were exempt from registering by default. Of course, this was another pre-meditated lie cooked up by Harper’s handlers to sway the vote of the unsuspecting.

Daily, the media alarmists report of threats to our freedom from crazed insurgents, who for some bizarre unexplained reason, hate the freedoms we supposedly possess. Can you imagine anyone in this world not wanting freedom and independence? Even the crooks enjoy that privilege here in Canada.

The Conservatives would have Canadians believe that, like our US counter-parts, we live in a democratic [majority rule] society. Really? When was the last time, in this so-called democracy, Harper and his rat pack of incompetents petition the public's opinion on a major political issue -- despite the fact he has a minority government? Think hard now…

Did he ask voters if it was okay to send young men and women off to wage war with an unknown enemy? Has he informed the public of the establishment of a “North American Union” (NAU) with the US and Mexico -- under the guise of a safer and more prosperous North America? Did he ask taxpayers approval before graciously handing over $9 billion in corporate tax cuts to big business, with not a single penny being allotted to address the housing needs of the poor? Did he take a phone poll or issue a plebiscite on whether he could spend $300 million of our tax dollars on another election before his mandate was even over?

Democracy Watch has highlighted the 90 undemocratic and accountability loopholes in the
federal government system that ensure no matter what political party wins, the next federal government will be undemocratic and unaccountable in key ways.

"It is very insulting to voters that federal political parties have left a dozen undemocratic loopholes and flaws in Canada's federal election system for the past 141 years, and as a
result we are now holding Canada's 40th undemocratic federal election," said Duff Conacher, Coordinator of Democracy Watch. "Will the federal parties pledge to make the changes needed to ensure the next election will be democratic and will produce a democratic, accountable federal government? Until dozens of accountability loopholes are closed, any federal election will result in yet another dishonest, unethical, secretive, unrepresentative and wasteful federal government."

In addition to the election call very likely being illegal (given the new fixed election date law), the following undemocratic loopholes and flaws in Canada's federal election system continue to undermine the legitimacy of elections:

http://www.dwatch.ca/camp/RelsSep1208.html

"Canada is a nation of minorities, and only the Government can defend them from some bullying majority". Former Prime Minister Paul Martin in a throne speech.

From this statement it's obvious who our leaders choose to listen to. (besides those with lots of money and influence) The Harper regime is no different for they know if the majority of Canadians had the opportunity to have their say on important political issues, most of the ones the ruling government supports would never see the light of day.

With today's technology, a voting system that is more accurate, cost-effective and virtually free from manipulation could be implemented over the phone or by computer. The voter would simply input a pre-selected pin number, their social insurance number and choose their candidate with a push of a digit or a click of a mouse. As simple and logical as this sounds, it's obviously not something the government would support as they know full well that a such a system would give the disenchanted who don't normally bother to vote, the impetus to do so.

And they wouldn't even have to miss a hockey game in the process.

"Support the troops" and you support a phony war on terror built on a mountain of lies that's killing thousands needlessly.

"Support the Troops". It's a rather meaningless phrase the government and military like to throw in the public's face to gain support for their illegal war. The implication is that if you if you don't support the troops, you're unpatriotic and lack appreciation for their valor and sacrifice to uphold freedom. As mentioned earlier in this post, one only has to follow the money trail to see that the soldier's selfless sacrifice is only benefiting the evil cartels. Of course, the troops are only doing what they're told, though an increasing number have resisted enlistment and further deployment since discovering the Afghanistan conflict is not about providing aid to the people there or benefiting the average Canadian.

Remember that throughout history and all the wars our soldiers have fought in, Canada has never been threatened by any of the nations it has waged conflict against. Remember too that it was western bankers like the Rockefellers and the Bush's family who helped provide aid to the Nazis.

Murder is one of the most heinous crimes known to man, yet it's justified if you kill on command.

1 on the U.S. government's most wanted "Dead or Alive" list used to be Osama bin Laden but it seems he's been long forgotten. These days the evil entity that society is indoctrinated to fear is called the “Taliban” or “al Qaeda“. The comparison between Orwell’s movie "1984" and the social engineering campaign that’s omni-present today is eerily similar. The fictional boogeyman back then was named "Goldstein", an image ever ingrained in the minds of those who were fixated on the “Global Terror” telecasts. Certainly, George Orwell was a true visionary of his era and would not be surprised by the actions of political leaders today.

As is the case today, the government and corporate media are complicit in convincing much of society that in order to overcome this fabricated sinister threat, they will have to revoke their own rights and liberties. In the end, the foolish sheople who give up their freedoms in the name of security will receive neither. Only tyranny and repression will result.

Michel Juneau, a former CSIS intelligence officer, has admitted that propaganda in the campaign of terror has been going on for some time and is intended to frighten Canadians into submission. Who would know better than CSIS?

Imagine for a moment that your city or neighbourhood is being invaded and bombed by another country's military. Would you go to no ends to protect what you perceived as a foreign attack on your family and homeland? And would you consider your actions to be that of a "terrorist" or "insurgent" -- or perhaps that of a "patriot" or "freedom fighter"?

Years ago, Russia attempted the same military maneuver as Canada -- and failed. But our fearless political and military leaders aren't going to 'cut and run' -- at least not while they're sitting comfortably behind an office chair, delivering their orders by email.

A few years ago during Canada's initial involvement in Afghanistan, Minister of Public Safety, Stockwell Day, stated that the Taliban had been defeated. I guess Stockboy gets his intel from the same source as the U.S. government. At any rate, who can trust a political lickspittle like Day, when he's so eager to condemn a Muslim for an alleged crime -- yet thinks nothing of brown-nosing Sikh militants in a parade where they openly celebrated the [known] terrorist bombing of an Air India flight.

It's clearly evident that the real threats to society are the ruling politicians and bureaucrats that control [out]law and [dis]order. When they grant the freedom to the criminal element to continue their assault on the innocent, they are the true sinister force that we must reckon with.

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out ... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable". ~ H.L.Mencken (1880 – 1956) - American journalist regarded as one of the most influential writers of the first half of the 20th century.

THE GREAT GLOBAL WARMING CON JOB


Some facts regarding the Global Warming Hoax:

1. The earth was warmer during the Middle Ages than it is now.

2 Thirty years ago, scientists were predicting another ice age, not global warming.

3. The heat and energy coming off the sun is not exactly constant and the increase in sun spot and underwater volcanic activity can have a noticeable effect on the climate.

4. Other planets are also experiencing warming. Did humans cause this too? As one meteorologist has said, "I don't know which is more arrogant -- to state that we caused global warming, or that we're going to fix it."

5. Hundreds of reputable scientists disagree with the 'Gore Theory'. The Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI) has reviewed all of Al Gore’s convenient misrepresentations and determined 35 key facts that Gore portrayed wrongly, so the debate is far from being over.

Temperatures may be rising in some areas but this is due to normal cosmic cycles that are beyond man's control. Many regions of the world this winter experienced extreme instances of freezing temperatures and unusually heavy snowfall. On the average, it was the coldest winter in 12 years in Canada. GW/CC is pure political hype with governments utilizing a smoke and mirrors ploy to appear eco-friendly while they rob you of what little disposable income you have left. You will see this come to fruition over the next 20 years when we all look back. Even if there really is a major climate shift in the works, what can anyone really do to stop it anyway? Are we all going to stop commuting, flying airplanes, running factories and clearing rain forests? Maybe if cheap, eco-friendly technologies like the electric car hadn't been killed 100 years ago, mankind might have a hope and prayer.

If the government were truly concerned about the nation's future and well being of its citizens, they would be addressing real and present dangers that effect the populace such as homelessness, poverty, unemployment, epidemics of disease and the extinction of increasing numbers of plant and animal species.

It seems that our leaders care little about a failed medical system that is responsible for 300,000 deaths in the US alone every year and sucks billions of dollars out of the economy. Their idea of improving this industry is to privatize it all and put it into the hands of organizations whose primary concern is profit margin. So you think the Sick Care System is bad now?

Should a weather anomaly take precedence over issues of increasing contamination of human and animal food supplies, or a million children on prescribed psychotropic drugs, or the fact that high-risk dangerous offenders are being routinely released back into society to re-offend?

Where are the punitive green taxes on the oil companies who profit billions from their eco-damaging carbon industries? Why doesn't government hold accountable the biggest polluters in the world -- that being the mining, energy, chemical, land development, and airline industries. Thousands of aircraft fly around the world daily, burning upwards of 30,000 gallons of fuel on take-off alone. Is anyone measuring the degradation of the air quality due to this assault on the environment? Certainly not the scientists enlisted by the jet-setting Al Gore.

How did the hundreds tons of mercury that's being dumped by dentists into waste water streams and eventually being absorbed by fish, wildlife and humans not make it onto Al Gore's pollution radar? http://www.pollutionprobe.org

P.E.T.A. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) states that factory farming is responsible for more pollution than all vehicular traffic combined. It's a clear case of government not wanting to bite the hand that feeds them.

Of course, you'll never hear those in power decry the loss of our constitutional rights and freedoms since 9-11, or the increase in violent crime [read: terrorism] in our own society. We need the military here at home, not needlessly losing their lives in a country we invaded illegally in order to protect the profits of industrial cartels and billionaire businessman.

With Al Gore's 'carbon footprint' 20 times that of the average consumer, and his gas and electric bills for his mansion and guest house averaging over $2300 per month, he's a pathetic role model for the carbon-neutral life style.

This latest political con-job means the public is going to be paying even more for anything and everything government and business can green-wash us with. This is one environmental initiative and political swindle that stinks to high heaven.

The TRUTH about Canada in Afghanistan


---- WALL OF BROTHERS ---- War, what is it good for?


The TRUTH about Canada in Afghanistan

Canada in Afghanistan: Top Ten Under-reported Facts - March 16/06

The Canadian mainstream media has been promoting our role in Afghanistan, with almost no critical voices, despite polling that indicates between 48% to 62% of Canadians not only question but oppose our engagement of troops in this war-torn country (Ipsos-Reid, Mar.4/06; Strategic Counsel/Globe and Mail, Feb. 24/06).

The 'post-Harper trip' polling results have been misrepresented because Strategic Counsel found that, while views had shifted due to a heightened campaign by the military and the media, 69% want a "debate to decide if our troops should stay in Afghanistan beyond next year" and 70% base their support on the misconception that our purpose is significantly more "peacekeeping than combat." In fact, the new polling finds that "52 per cent of Canadians say they are against a 10-year mission" (Globe and Mail, Mar. 14/06).

A NEED FOR INDEPENDENT FACTS AND MEDIA:

This report was originally inspired by the fact that the Toronto Star, one of Canada's largest, most respected, and 'liberal' newspapers, has decided to only have one external link from its 'Special Report' section on Afghanistan -to the Department of National Defence. When the mainstream media only provide government information and rely on government links and officials for the whole story, they are no longer objective, independent, or critical. That is why the public must respond with facts and action.

CANADA'S CHOSEN ONE

Steven Harper and the Bilderbergers Secret Meeting

Stephen Harper meets with the global elite.

This photo was taken in 2003 of Stephen Harper, presently the Prime Minister of Canada, at a high level, elite meeting of the Western world’s central bankers, defense experts, press barons, royalty, prime ministers, international financiers, , industrialists and government officials.

The annual gathering of the Bilderberg group was held at the Trianon Hotel, near Versailles, France. High level plutocrats gathered away from the public eye to discuss matters of global economic, financial and geopolitical strategy and policy.


The Indymedia Norway site published an official attendance list, originally obtained by Tony Gosling of http://www.bilderberg.org from Richard Vadon, a BBC radio 4 correspondent who is doing a documentary of the event due out in July. Solan Gunderson of the Norwegian Indymedia site has actively covered the Bilderberg Meeting, and published the guestlist there: http://www.indymedia.no/news/2003/05/10326.php

Until recently, the only coverage of the meeting was done by James Tucker of American Free Press, and Gunderson has published his article at http://www.indymedia.no/news/2003/05/10176.php The only Canadian coverage of these meetings was done by John Deverell, a business write for the Toronto Star in 1996.

“Bilderberg takes its name from the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, where the first meeting took place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by many leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on matters of critical importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.

The 2003 guest list includes names such as David Rockefeller, Richard Perle, Klaus Schwab (World Economic Forum), Henry Kissinger, the King and Queen of Spain, Paul Wolfowitz and a host of other bankers, corporate heads and royalty. Some Canadians in attendance included Conrad Black, Mark Steyn (National Post) Heather Reisman (Chapters-Indigo), Anthony Fell (RBC Dominion Securities) and Stephen Harper, Leader of the Opposition. Other past Canadian participants, as shown in the guestlists posted at http://www.bilderberg.org, have included Ralph Klein, Paul Martin, Preston Manning and Jean Chretien.

Pepe Escobar’s article for the Asia Times:

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/EE22Ak03.html highlights several important points concerning the elite group. Specifically, they do not invite leaders from Latin America, the Middle East or Asia. The Bilderberg meetings are a king-making process, as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton showed themselves at the annual meetings in the years leading up to their elections.

In 2003, Stephen Harper was the Leader of the Alliance Party of Canada and Official Opposition. Now he is the Ruler of all Canadians. The Illuminati and Lords of the Land have indeed proclaimed their "Chosen One".

Escobar also suggests that the Bilderberg meeting is where the G8 agenda is formulated; hence, the G8 is turned merely into a rubber-stamping mechanism for policy formed by individuals meeting in the capacities of private persons.

Several Canadians who have attended in the past include Ralph Klein, Preston Manning, Paul Martin and Jean Chretien. Klein’s attendance was reported in the May 29, 1995 issue of the Report http://www.bilderberg.org/cocktail.htm Harper’s appearance likely was due in part to his pro-war stance, a reward from Conrad Black or other Neo-conservatives in Washington.

These meetings are suffering an absolute blackout in the Canadian presses, as the editors of the Globe and Mail, National post and CanWest all have affiliations with this secretive group. Part of the problem is that, in order to gain admission to the club, one has to pledge secrecy.

Most Canadians have never heard of the Bilderberg group, let alone realize the significance of Mr. Harper’s attendance at the meeting. At that time, the global elite obviously had their bets placed on a sharp ‘right’ turn in the recent federal election.

We might add a few historical notes about the origins of the Bilderberg meeting in 1952 under the visionary leadership of Joseph Retinger who with Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, whose vision was to great a super-national powerful organization to unite the world in peace. Except that the group has no form of accountability to the people of their respective nations. This "collaboration" would soon focus on one key objective: to ensure that the United States, Canada and Western Europe maintained oligarchic control of a global system of export-based capitalism.

So there you have it folks. Now you know where Prime Minister Harper and his band of quislings are getting their directives from, and the type of oppressive and evil political decision-making the citizens of this so-called "democracy" in Canada, will be forced to endure till at least the next election.
