#PMHarperMustResign” is the message countless Canadian Twitter users have been projecting this week. The HAShtag HAS proliferated across the twitter landscape, at one point trending as the most popular HAShtag among Canadian twitter users.
Critics say that with the failure of the mainstream media in Canada to live up to its responsibility to adequately expose the blunders of the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, that working class Canadians are forced to turn to alternative media such as Twitter in order to express their anger at what they see as the Harper regime’s flagrant violations of human rights and of elementary democratic principles.
People tweeted “#PMHarperMustResign” for different reasons. The main stimuli however appears to have been the admission by the Prime Minister’s, now former, Chief of Staff Nigel Wright, that he cut a cheque for $90,000 to re-pay the fraudulent expense claims of a Conservative senator, impropriety which many Canadians feel Stephen Harper himself would have undoubtedly known about.
Apart from drawing attention to the ruling Conservative Party’s election fraud, abuse of aboriginal peoples and senate expense scandals, Twitter users condemned the Harper government for its one-sided support for Israel. One twitter user slammed the Prime Minister: “For putting the interests of Israel before those of Canada”. Another critical tweet accused Harper of “showing total disregard to Palestinians’ rights and freedoms and supporting Israel’s Human rights abuses”.
Well, they warned us, didn’t they? Top cop Vance said anyone sharing information counter to what the police said went down in Sandy Hook would be arrested. Now they’re making an example of the first one.
Please share this. Free speech is still a constitutional right in America. (Thanks, Richard)

“Bloggers, not informants, are key. If you bloggers self-organize and attach yourself like leaches to specific issues, corporations, organizations, challenges—whatever—you will be the intelligence minutemen of this century. The power is in your hands. There aren’t enough guns to kill us all and Haliburton can’t build the jails fast enough to keep us down.” Blog that.
The Prime Minister’s chief of staff has resigned in the midst of the most serious scandal to hit Stephen Harper in his seven years in office.
Nigel Wright announced his resignation Sunday morning, just days after CTV Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife reported that he wrote a personal cheque to help Senator Mike Duffy pay back more than $90,000 in improperly claimed senate living expenses.
Wright said he believed repaying the funds that Duffy had improperly claimed was “in the public interest,” and said he accepts sole responsibility in the matter.

“My actions were intended solely to secure the repayment of funds, which I considered to be in the public interest, and I accept sole responsibility,” Wright said in a statement. “I did not advise the Prime Minister of the means by which Sen. Duffy’s expenses were repaid, either before or after the fact.
Harper said in a statement that he accepted Wright’s resignation with “great regret” and thanked his top aide for his contributions to the Tory government.
“I accept that Nigel believed he was acting in the public interest, but I understand the decision he has taken to resign. I want to thank Nigel for his tremendous contribution to our government over the past two and a half years.”
Ray Novak, who has served as Harper’s principal secretary since 2008, is taking over as the prime minister’s chief of staff.
On Thursday, Duffy announced he quit the Conservative caucus and would sit as an Independent, as the public controversy surrounding the repayment of Senate expenses had become a “distraction.”
Following news of Wright’s resignation, NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus said the Harper government is in “full-fledged panic mode.”
“Why, for months, was Sen. Duffy allowed to pretend he paid the money out of his own pocket?”Angus said on CTV Question Period Sunday.
Liberal MPs were also quick to indicate that the controversy is far over, and when parliament resumes on Tuesday after a break, questions are likely to dog the Conservatives.
Foreign affairs critic Bob Rae said he was not surprised by Wright’s resignation and stressed the need for an independent investigation into the matter.
“If the Conservatives are not prepared to let it go to a parliamentary committee, then they need to appoint a special investigator or someone who has the capacity to ask all the difficult questions,” he said Sunday afternoon.
Rae added that the scandal has more to do with the Prime Minister than the Senate itself.
“This is about Mr. Harper. This is about the Prime Minister’s Office, how the Prime Minister’s Office operates and the ethical and legal standards by which it operates,” he said. “That’s where the focus is, and that’s where it now belongs.”
Calls for investigations
Last week, the New Democrats asked Senate Ethics Officer Lyse Ricard to launch an investigation in the matter, claiming the $90,000 cheque from Wright violated ethics rules that prohibit senators from accepting gifts.
Under the Senate Conflict of Interest Code, all gifts over $500 must be reported within 30 days.
“What people need to know about the Senate is it’s such an old boy’s club that you actually need the permission of the Senate to begin an investigation,” Angus said.
Duffy’s expenses had been the subject of an internal audit, along with those of Senators Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb.
Under the Senate’s housing rule allowance, senators can be compensated for living expenses if they live more than 100 kilometres from Ottawa, requiring them to maintain a secondary residence.
However, according to evidence outlined in an independent audit showed that Duffy, Brazeau and Harb each spent more time in the capital than at the homes declared to be their primary residences, rendering their claims ineligible.
Earlier this month, a Senate committee ordered Brazeau to repay about $48,000, and Harb $51,000.
Brazeau insists that he didn’t break rules by claiming the housing allowance, and he is determining if the order to repay the money can be overturned. Harb has retained a lawyer and will attempt to “quash” the audit’s findings.
On Tuesday morning, Harper will hold an emergency meeting with Conservative senators and MPs, many overwhelmed by complaints they’ve been hearing from their constituents about the issues raised in recent weeks.
The cabal doesn’t want us to know that millions of people worldwide are protesting, demonstrating and speaking out to end the tyranny and take their power back. If you watched the “Fix the World” trailer you would have seen undeniable evidence of the powerful movements that are shaking up the Illuminati.
In Canada it’s no different. The French and English-speaking people of Québec province are VERY vocal about their dissatisfaction with the Harper government and have rallies and peaceful demonstrations on a regular basis, it seems.

Tens of Thousands protest in Montreal Against Federal EI (Employment Insurance) Reforms
MONTREAL — Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Montreal on Saturday for the latest protest against proposed reforms to federal employment insurance.
At noon, people holding placards were already streaming off buses used to ferry them to the event, which began at 1:15 p.m. and then wound its way through the downtown core from three different starting points — Place du Canada, Lafontaine Park and Complexe Guy-Favreau. The groups then united and formed one large crowd at Place des Festivals, where a concert was planned.
FTQ Construction, which helped organize the demonstration, confirmed through its official Twitter account that Montreal police have been provided with a protest route in accordance with municipal bylaw P-6.
“The (demonstration) will be peaceful and familial,” the union’s tweet promised.
As of 4 p.m., there were no reports of violence or injuries. One person was arrested for obstructing police.
MPs from all three federal opposition parties were in attendance, as were Parti Québécois MNA Daniel Breton and former Québec solidaire candidate Manon Massé.
Changes to the federal insurance scheme include a requirement for regularly unemployed workers to accept a 30-per-cent cut in salary and to travel 100 kilometres for a new job. Opponents of the plan say the provisions would affect not only seasonal workers in Quebec and the Maritimes, where forestry workers and fishermen have long supplemented their seasonal work with insurance benefits, but Canadians in general.
Drake shared this one; unsure of the source. Back in February of this year, Ellen DeGeneres hosted Al Gore and this discussion. She apparently is awake.
I’ve heard there are several reasons for spraying us like roaches—ultimately it’s the eugenics program, but weather mod, climate control, disease propagation, control of the food supply/starvation… but most importantly, our spiritual evolution.
The sun is bringing the energies required to transform this planet and us, into 5D and above. They think that spraying things into the atmosphere is going to prevent ascension—but they’re wrong. Nothing can stop it. It’s already well underway.
FROM THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET…..
He must know more than us average folks do.
Here is something he obviously knows about stratospheric aerosol spraying (a.k.a.) chemtrails that I have not heard up to this point.
Listening to Mr. Al Gore(-ithum) or Ellen normally makes me want to change the channel immediately, or puke, however this time he shared information which he must be privy to that disclosed the magnitude of the toxic chemicals which are being dumped into the atmosphere on a DAILY basis.
NINETY MILLION tons, PER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He acts like it’s terrible that they would spend all that money to pollute the atmosphere and we should unite to put a stop to it. We all know he’s just jealous that money would be better spent to pay his Global Cap and Trade Taxes and cow farts.
NINETY MILLION tons, PER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a smokin’ gun to the magnitude of what they dumping on us via Chem-trail Aerosol Spraying.
You do the math, NINETY MILLION tons, PER DAY x 365 days x 10+ years = ????????
Also, note his comments regarding how this is part of the plan of manipulating the droughts, floods and super storms across the nation.
For those who haven’t bothered to pay attention to the skies for the last 10+ years check out the links listed after the Al Gore admission video.
For those people you know that believe “ignorance is bliss” tell them not to watch or listen to this information.
Best regards,
Ralph
Al Gore admits Chemtrails are for blocking the SUN
Friends, this introductory video, although relatively brief, is highly disturbing and viewer discretion is advised. It’s hard to believe that this sort of thing could be going on at all on our planet. It’s sick and depraved. How incredibly brave of Toos to speak of it.
Child Sacrifice and Trafficking in Holland, and Abroad: An Eyewitness Comes Forward and Names her Torturers
- An Exclusive Breaking News Report from ITCCS Central Office and its Dutch Affiliates|
May 8, 2013: Zwolle, Holland:
A survivor of a high-level ring involving child sacrifice, torture and trafficking went public today in an exclusive disclosure and interview with Freedom Central’s Mel Ve and ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett.
Toos Nijenhuis, a fifty-four year old physiotherapist and mother of five from Holland, was tortured, raped and used experimentally from the age of four years old by wealthy and powerful men around the world, including top officials of churches and governments.
And, Nijenhuis claims, these crimes are continuing today, including the ritual sacrifice of children in rural Holland.
On May 7, Ms. Nijenhuis accompanied Kevin Annett, Mel Ve and other investigators to a forested site near to Zwolle where such child murders took place as recently as November, 2010, according to Ms. Nijenhuis.
Among the perpetrators who are named in these crimes and who allegedly assaulted Toos Nijenhuis are Prince Bernhard of Holland, who was the grandfather of the newly-crowned Dutch King Alexander, and a founder of the Bilderberger Group; Catholic Cardinal Bernard Alfrink of Utrecht, and members of the British Royal Family.
These assaults occurred in Holland, Scotland, and a military experimental base in Melbourne, Australia, where Toos was subjected to what appears to be pain threshold and behaviour modification experiments. She also witnessed the torture and murder of other children.
Key excerpts from the interview and statement of Toos Nijenhuis are found in this link:
In response to Toos Nijenhuis’ horrific revelations, a Dutch-based group was formed on May 7 in Zwolle to investigate and prosecute child traffickers and ritual child sacrifice.
In conjunction with Ms. Nijenhuis, Freedom Central, the ITCCS and others, this new group will launch a Common Law Court case into these crimes during the coming year. Key alleged perpetrators will be publicly named and issued a Summons to appear before the Court.

For Immediate Release:
Kevin Annett is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
May 8 – New York City
Reverend Kevin Annett has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a group of American and Canadian academicians, it was learned today. Annett is currently on an extended speaking tour in Holland, France, Italy and other countries.
Reverend Annett has made history since 1996 with his meticulous exposure of church and state sponsored Genocide of indigenous children in Canada’s Indian residential school system. Annett produced the first documented evidence of massive deaths in the schools and helped force official recognition and an apology from the government of Canada in 2008.
Reverend Annett has been honored and adopted by aboriginal nations in Canada over the past fifteen years and has helped immeasureable numbers of residential school survivors at a great personal cost, in recognition of which he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a group of North American scholars.
“Without Kevin Annett there would have been no healing and no justice for any of us survivors of this Genocide. He has put us on the map” stated Ojibway Nation elder Louis Daniels in October of 2004 when he adopted Annett into his tribe and gave him the name Eagle Strong Voice.
The Nobel Committee in Oslo – which may itself name candidates – does not reveal nominees or those who endorse them for a period of 50 years, nor does it offer comment, although contenders are sometimes named or speculated over by the media and other sources.
Rev. Annett presently serves as the Field Secretary for the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State. A complete interview with him will be posted shortly at www.itccs.org

Kevin Annett is a Nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize (2013). Messages for him can be left at 250-591-4573 (Canada) or 386-323-5774 (USA).
“I gave Kevin Annett his Indian name, Eagle Strong Voice, in 2004 when I adopted him into our Anishinabe Nation. He carries that name proudly because he is doing the job he was sent to do, to tell his people of their wrongs. He speaks strongly and with truth. He speaks for our stolen and murdered children. I ask everyone to listen to him and welcome him.”

I was very proud of Paul Hellyer and his contribution to the Citizen Disclosure Hearing in Washington this past week. As former Minister of Defense and Member of Parliament, he remains one of the most outspoken citizens of Canada in our fight against the cabal.
Our Galactic families have visited the government a number of times to share their advice and offer assistance, but they were refused each time. The cabal wasn’t ready to give up its gig of power. Well, the gig is up!
Visitors From Outer Space, Real or Not, Are Focus of Discussion in Washington
WASHINGTON — While President Obama was promoting an immigration overhaul in Mexico, six former members of Congress gathered two blocks from the White House to consider what they see as the enforced government secrecy surrounding another kind of visitor: the kind who come from a lot farther away.
Mike Gravel, a former senator from Alaska, left, in 2007, appeared this week on a panel to discuss extraterrestrial life.
Every day this week, the former legislators presided over panels made up of academics and — former, of course — government and military officials, who were there to discuss their research or their own eyewitness accounts of unidentified flying objects and the extraterrestrials who presumably would have occupied them.
“Something is monitoring the planet, and they are monitoring it very cautiously, because we are a very warlike planet,” said Mike Gravel, a former Democratic senator from Alaska who ran in both the Democratic and Libertarian presidential primaries in 2008.
Mr. Gravel and his fellow panelists were assembled by the Paradigm Research Group, which says it is committed to ending the government’s “truth embargo” on the existence of extraterrestrial life. The lawmakers were there in hopes that their presence and political credibility would be enough to persuade Congress to take the issue seriously.
“I’ve been exploring how we might get this issue out of the shadows of the lunatic fringe,” said Roscoe G. Bartlett, a former Republican representative from Maryland. Before his defeat last year, Mr. Bartlett was known for sounding the alarm on the threat posed to the nation’s energy infrastructure by electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, the shock wave from a nuclear weapon detonated beyond the earth’s atmosphere.
Called the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, the event might have been mistaken as advocacy for government transparency, and some of the panelists had impressive résumés.
“I’ve come to understand and appreciate the importance of open, transparent government and the power of truth,” said Paul T. Hellyer, who served as Canadian Minister of Defense during the 1960s.
“We are not alone in the cosmos,” he added.
One reason the ex-members of Congress agreed to sit on the dais and ask questions may have been curiosity.
“Our country has trivialized it, has made it a joke, has made it green people with horns sticking out,” said Carolyn Kilpatrick, a Democratic representative from Michigan who lost her seat in 2010. “Now I find that it’s much more than that. And it’s not a joke. And there is scientific data that there may be something there.”
Another reason might have been the $20,000 the organizers said they paid each panelist. But they are still maintaining a healthy skepticism.
“Just because the government might have had a document about how to handle extraterrestrials doesn’t mean there were any,” said Merrill Cook, a Republican from Utah who was twice elected to the House.
The panels this week have been low-hanging fruit for the news media while President Obama is out of town and Congress is out of session, and not all of the people who study U.F.O.’s think the meetings will help them improve their stature in Washington.
“There really is something to this issue, and there is a serious side to it, but that’s not what’s being presented as this event,” said Leslie Kean, a journalist and author of “U.F.O.’s: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” a collection of firsthand accounts by people who believe they saw them.
The conclusion that U.F.O.’s are proof of extraterrestrial life is misguided, she said, and the people who broadcast that belief hindered support for real scientific research.
Despite the ridicule that usually accompanies the discussion of U.F.O.’s, they have been quietly talked about in corridors of power here. Some panelists at the event this week counted among true believers John D. Podesta, a chief of staff in President Bill Clinton’s White House, because of his role in Executive Order 12958, which requires the declassification of most government documents over 25 years old.
But the possible existence of extraterrestrial life is not exactly why he believes in government transparency, Mr. Podesta said.
“At the end of the day, there are going to be people who say that even if you did that, there must be other files that exist that you’re not disclosing,” he said in an interview.
But objects in the sky have piqued his interest. In June 2011, the Center for American Progress hosted government officials, from the Pentagon, NASA and the Department of Transportation, as well as Congressional staff and former officials from intelligence organizations, for a briefing by Ms. Kean and experts from academia and foreign militaries.
The private briefing was organized to discuss a proposal that the government establish a small office of two staff members who would selectively investigate mysterious skyward sightings and seek to understand them by applying scientific method. The proposal did not refer to U.F.O.’s, but rather, U.A.P.’s, unidentified aerial phenomena, as if those who drew up the proposal were keenly aware of how their objective could be perceived.
“They were interesting, credible people who had observed aerial phenomena that were unexplained and worthy of additional follow-up,” Mr. Podesta said. “Going back and looking at and declassifying whatever government documents exist is a smart thing to do.”
The video below was posted today, April 27th. Go figure. This evidence just happens to appear when the federal government stooges are implicated in assassinations of innocent US citizens and staging terrorist conspiracies in Canada? Smells like damage control to me.
They think we’re really stupid, folks. They’re using 9/11 news now to distract us from the Boston fiasco. This is preposterous.
Thank you, feds, for reminding us of all the Americans and Canadians you murdered in 2011. It’s just more fuel for the fire.
I don’t believe this drivel for one second. The last time they said they had pieces of the planes the parts were proven by experts to not even have been the same kind the planes they CLAIM hit the towers would have had in them. Sloppy terrorism—as usual.
I don’t believe ANYTHING the feds or main stream media say about ANY terror attacks any more—and I’m sure I’m not alone. You made your bed, fed, now lie in it.
About:http://www.euronews.com/ A piece of landing gear that is believed to come from one of the planes that struck the twin towers during the 9/11 attacks in 2001 has been found wedged between two buildings in lower Manhattan.
It was found wedged, one story high, by a construction crew in a narrow alleyway behind 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street in Manhattan’s financial district.
This site is now home to an Islamic prayer space and community centre that opened amid controversy in the autumn of 2011, two blocks from Ground Zero.
New York City Police spokesman Paul Browne said there is a “clearly visible” Boeing identification number on the gear.
Almost 12 years after the World Trade Centre was brought down by Islamic extremists killing nearly 3,000 people, debris from the attack and human remains are still turning up.[DO YOU BELIEVE THIS???? It kills me to even have this sentence on my blog. It's blatant lies. They're still trying to make us hate the people of the Middle East.]
For those who don’t have the time to read the landslide of Internet reports, blog posts and articles about the escalating terrorism, and either know or suspect the rapidly reversing media versions of what’s going on in North America these days are spun from the threads of a corrupt agenda…
Here’s an article that I believe very accurately states the facts, the evidence, the brutal conclusions, and will save you a lot of time.
It’s not short, by any means, but still faster than combing the Internet and sorting truth from lies and fear-mongering.
We can no longer sit idly by and watch ruthless pods within the governments of the USA and Canada terrorize The People of our great nations—or the world—and run roughshod over the Laws of the People.
The Laws are for everyone, including the government, in fact—ESPECIALLY the government—because they answer to The People, NOT the reverse. We must take to task those who defy the laws of The People or face increasing tyranny.
I believe this piece clearly outlines the apparent plot to vilify certain countries that the super powers seek to dominate and the lengths to which they will go to achieve that end.
We don’t propose to paint entire organizations with the same brush, but until we get to the bottom of what has transpired, we have no choice at present but to refer to the culprits as “the government”, “the FBI”, “the Corporate Media”, or whoever else is complicit.
By turning our backs on the truth as too ugly to face, we have allowed this current state to evolve. Doing nothing is a choice, too.
The Boston Bombing Web of Lies
As with many “terrorism” related events since 9/11, the Boston bombing official narrative proves to be a web of lies as important facts are revealed. It turns out that the FBI has lied about its knowledge of the alleged suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, already being presented as guilty not only in the mainstream press but by the President himself.
According to the suspects’ mother, the FBI had been following them for years:
The FBI originally feigned ignorance over the identity of the two Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, as they appealed to an unwitting public to help them “identify” and “find” the suspects. […]
But her biggest suspicion surrounding the case was the constant FBI surveillance she said her family was subjected to over the years. She is surprised that having been so stringent with the entire family, the FBI had no idea the sons were supposedly planning a terrorist act.
She would say of the FBI to Russia Today:
They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me…they were telling me that he [the older, 26-y/o Tamerlan] was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act! Never ever is this true, my sons are innocent!
We were also told that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in an exchange of gunfire after he and his brother had robbed a 7-Eleven:
When the shootout ended, one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, a former boxer, had been shot and fatally wounded. He was wearing explosives, several law enforcement officials said. (Katharine Q. Seelye, William K. Rashbaum and Michael Cooper 2nd Bombing Suspect Caught After Frenzied Hunt Paralyzes Boston, The New York Times, April 19, 2013.)
With a bomb strapped to his chest, one of the Boston Marathon suspects was killed early Friday after he and his accomplice brother robbed a 7-Eleven, shot a police officer to death, carjacked an SUV and hurled explosives in an extraordinary firefight with law enforcement, authorities told NBC News. (Pete Williams, Richard Esposito, Michael Isikoff and Erin McClam, NBC News, One Boston Marathon suspect killed; second suspect, his brother, on loose after firefight, NBC News, April 19, 2013.)
The events surrounding Tamerlan’s death reported by the media are simply not true. It turns out that Tamerlan’ aunt identified him as a “naked, cuffed, clearly alive and well detaineeseen in video aired by CNN”:
Tamerlan Tsarnaev in custody
Tamerlan Tsarnaev after the police took him into custody in the photo above.
Was Tamerlan Assassinated?
The Boston Globe confirmed that Marathon Bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was in custody, contradicting earlier reports that he had been killed in crossfire. If he was in custody and is now dead, does that not suggest that he might have been the object of an extrajudicial assassination? The circumstances of his death remain to be clarified.
Moreover, the 7-Eleven robbery was actually unrelated to the Tsarnaev brothers:
There was a 7-Eleven robbery in Cambridge last night, but it had nothing to do with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Margaret Chabris, the director of corporate communication at 7- Eleven, says the surveillance video of the crime was not taken at a 7-Eleven and that the suspect that did rob the 7-Eleven does not look like Tamerlan or Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
“The suspect in the photos for that particular 7-Eleven robbery looks nothing like the suspects,” Chabris says. “The police or someone made a mistake. Someone was confused.”
[…] Again, they might be guilty. But as Glenn Greenwald notes:
The overarching principle here should be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is entitled to a presumption of innocence until he is actually proven guilty. As so many cases have proven – from accused (but exonerated) anthrax attacker Stephen Hatfill to accused (but exonerated) Atlanta Olympic bomber Richard Jewell to dozens if not hundreds of Guantanamo detainees accused of being the “worst of the worst” but who were guilty of nothing – people who appear to be guilty based on government accusations and trials-by-media are often completely innocent. Media-presented evidence is no substitute for due process and an adversarial trial. (Washington’s Blog, Boston Terror Narrative Starts Falling Apart, Global Research, April 23, 2013)
On April 19 Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested and brought to a hospital. According to Reuters, “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded during at least one of two gun battles with police on Friday, suffering gunshot wounds to his head, neck, legs and hand [...]“. On April 24, the Huffington Post reported:
Two U.S. officials say the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was unarmed and obviously brutalized by police
We still don’t know what really happened in Boston and who committed the attacks even though the mainstream media report that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has admitted being guilty. What we know for sure is that the official Boston bombing narrative is filled with lies and that since 9/11 and in the context of the fictitious “War on Terror”, Western governments, intelligence agencies and mainstream media have proven to be untrustworthy sources of information on alleged “terrorist attacks” or “foiled terrorist plots”.
Canada’s Complicity in the War on Terror
Three days after Boston was locked down, invaded by a colossal police-military apparatus on a surreal “teenagehunt”, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police made a very timely announcement: they had foiled a terrorist plot targeting a Via Rail passenger train. Or so they say.
In a very absurd press conference where three RCMP officers repeatedly answered questions with “we cannot comment as the investigation is ongoing”, the only information they seemed very eager to disclose was that the suspects “received guidance from Al-Qaeda in Iran”.
RCMP press conference
While the Canadian mainstream media take these RCMP allegations at face value, independent news outlets suspect hidden political motives behind the highly publicized announcement:
Neither the police nor government have given any reason as to why, after allowing the accused to remain at large for months, they were suddenly arrested Monday afternoon and in a very high-profile manner. […]
Speaking Tuesday after Jaser’s arraignment in a Toronto court, his lawyer, John Norris, drew attention to the timing of the police-government announcement that they had uncovered Canada’s first “al-Qaeda-sponsored” terror plot. Said Norris, “The timing of the arrest is a bit of a mystery and certainly I would like to hear the RCMP’s explanation for that. They have been very clear that there is no risk of public safety and it is surprising to say the least that this arrest would be made now, close on the heels of what happened in Boston and timed perfectly with what was happening in the House of Commons yesterday.”
On Friday, the Conservative government announced that it was changing the House of Commons’ agenda, scheduling third and final reading of its “Combating Terrorism Act” (Bill S-7) to begin Monday and conclude this week. Bill S-7 gives the state vast new powers. These include: the right to hold terrorism suspects for 72 hours without charge, to convene “investigative hearings” at which those believed to have information about an imminent terrorist attack are stripped of their right to remain silent, and the power to place restrictions for up to a year on the movements and rights of persons deemed by the state to be terrorist suspects but against whom they have insufficient evidence to lay charges. […]
US authorities have been quick to trumpet the Canadian claims of a thwarted terrorist attack—claims that boost their own efforts to portray North America as under siege from terrorists and justify a vast expansion of the national-security apparatus and coercive powers of the state. The US ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, issued a statement Monday saying the arrests of Esseghaier and Jaser “were the result of extensive cross-border cooperation” and had underscored “that we face serious and real threats.” […]
At Monday’s press conference, the RCMP asserted that Esseghaier and Jaser had acted under the “direction and guidance” of “al-Qaeda elements located in Iran.”
The RCMP said that they had no evidence of Iranian government involvement. […]
The Harper Conservative government, which has declared itself Israel’s strongest ally and has expanded Canada’s decades’ old military-strategic alliance with Washington, broke off diplomatic relations with Teheran last summer. In justifying this action, Conservative Foreign Minister John Baird labeled Iran “the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today.” (Keith Jones Canadian Government unveils “Terror Plot” as it Adopts Draconian New Law, World Socialist Web Site, April 24, 2013.)
We may recall a “terrorist plot” revealed in late November 2001. According to mainstream reports, Ahmed Ressam, who was convicted of plotting to bomb Los Angeles International Airport in 1999, had also planned to bomb a Montreal area with “the most visible concentration of Jews in Canada — a vibrant area of some 5,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews who stand out because of their traditional outfits of black coats and hats for men, long skirts and wigs for women. » (Ingrid Peritz, Montreal’s brush with terror, The Globe and Mail, November 30, 2001.)
Visitors From Outer Space, Real or Not, Are Focus of Discussion in Washington
