What are the NATO Allies and their USA beholden friends trying to hide?

 

27th March 2018

An ex-Russian/British spy –  Sergei Skripal – has been living in the UK since his “retirement” and spy swap out of Russia.

He had become a part of the community of the delightful cathedral city of Salisbury in Wiltshire. Apparently well liked by his fellows there and a volunteer when needed to help others.  A regular fellow whose daughter came to visit from Russia whenever she could, and she too was known and liked.

Then on one such visit, they are both given a nerve gas and through quick action of the people of Salisbury are in hospital but not yet dead.

Immediately, or almost as quickly as Bush determined that America had been attacked by Bin Laden, the Russians were accused as the nerve gas was identified as one they were thought to have developed years ago. 

Simple right, Russian nerve gas from years ago so it must be them.

Why not the MI6 or even more likely the CIA?    But really the bigger question is why and why now?

The timing of this whole affair and the reaction to it came at a time of political elections in Russia and could have caused a lesser man than Putin some problems in his re-election.  Now, who do we know who has interfered with so many foreign elections, coups, installation of puppet dictators, destruction of countries, and the deaths of millions of civilians?  (In the case of Libya we could add the murder of their leader and the US Ambassador by out of control mercenaries). Who is so paranoid that maybe their elections are more than simply exchanges of money for the chance to be puppets in the government, but who could also be panicked by the thought that they could be affected in the same way they as do to other countries around the world?

So maybe that was one reason.

Why now?

Maybe that reason could be that the UK is trying to hide something from the world and what better way to do it than accuse the Russians of trying to kill someone in the UK causing deflection and getting international condemnation.   What have you done there in the UK that would merit such an action?

Just as in the case of the attacks on 9-11, and all the “false flags” since this one makes absolutely no sense to any thinking person.

Why would the Russians be soo stupid as to use a nerve gas that could perhaps be traced back to them?  Are they really that naïve?  Why would they want these two dead anyway? What did they have to gain?   Or wait, who did have something to gain?

Then there is the question of why all the allies are joining in the deportation of Russian diplomats they classify as spies. There is a sort of hysterical lemming like action here that bothers me.  Oh, I understand why Canada is doing it because our Foreign Minister hates Russia with a passion that comes from her Ukrainian heritage and she really is not the person for that job. But anyway here is an excuse for her to flex some muscle at a country (to which she has been made persona no grata) over an affair that has nothing to do with us at all, is completely unproven that Russia was responsible, and for which we as Canadians are being aligned with copycat, subordinate fruitcakes.

Shame on this “sunny days and sunny ways” government for jumping on an hysterical bandwagon.

What next Trudeau, will you challenge Putin to an arm wrestle?

Propaganda? Well yes

23rd March 2018

Just by chance today I happened to watch part of a panel session on CPAC called: INVESTING IN CANADIAN INNOVATION.

 One of the members of the panel (an American scientist) asked Justin Trudeau to explain the Kinder Morgan Pipe Line and what emerged was the usual total bullshit about carbon taxes and the meeting of mythical targets set in Paris.

 Once again there was the spectacle of our PM stating that we had to find new markets around the Pacific for our Alberta Bitumen.   In theory that may be fine but in practice that is simply not possible.

 As I have pointed out to Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Fisheries and Oceans, Natural Resources, Justice and the Environment as well as Trudeau himself, we are controlled by NAFTA in particular Article 605 which states:

“Article 605: Other Export Measures

Subject to Annex 605, a Party may adopt or maintain a restriction otherwise justified under Articles XI:2(a) or XX(g), (i) or (j) of the GATT with respect to the export of an energy or basic petrochemical good to the territory of another Party, only if:

  1. the restriction does not reduce the proportion of the total export shipments of the specific energy or basic petrochemical good made available to that other Party relative to the total supply of that good of the Party maintaining the restriction as compared to the proportion prevailing in the most recent 36month period for which data are available prior to the imposition of the measure, or in such other representative period on which the Parties may agree;

Clearly, we have no room to send any bitumen anywhere except to the USA.   Rachel Notley told the Economic Club of Canada in November of last year that the USA was a monopoly buyer of Alberta’s bitumen, and she should know.  This being the case how can we bypass the above article?   Even sending one thimble of bitumen anywhere except to our southern neighbour will trigger a NAFTA tribunal claim.  What this means is that we would construct a pipeline to Burnaby, ship that thimble, to say Malaysia, for the benefit of Alberta and then all of Canada will have to pay a NAFTA tribunal claim by the US based on Article 605.

 None of the above Ministers have offered any explanation of how they will avoid this issue, and I do not expect to hear from them until 2019, based on the timing of the occasional and eventual previous answers.

At the same time, Trudeau expounded again in vague terms about the money to be invested in ocean, fish and whale protection against a spill.   Once again, I am amazed and annoyed at his total ignorance of the fact that we are talking bitumen here, not oil, and any attempts at a cleanup in the event of a supertanker mishap such as recently happened in the south China Seas is doomed to failure.   Bitumen is heavier than water and will sink in clumps to the ocean floor, and the gases that make up the dilutant will escape into the atmosphere and depending on the site of the mishap will cause harm to all living things that breathe downwind.

I live on the southern tip of Vancouver Island and know that the winds in the Georgia Strait and the Strait of Juan da Fuca blow in all directions.  Thus, again depending on the site of the collision, Vancouver, Richmond, White Rock, Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, Port Angeles and Sequim not to mention Victoria and the San Juan Islands could all be devasted.  Whales, sea lions, seals, gulls, eagles and many more flying birds and bees etc., will all suffer or perish as well.

I was refused permission to attend and address the so-called public hearings on the basis that I would not be affected.  This was to be expected from the Harper regime, but we were promised sunny days and sunny ways and what it appears we are now being promised is the possibility of mass poisoning.  From one who came to Canada to raise a family and now have 4 generations established here on Vancouver Island I thank you for your complete indifference to our health and wellbeing Prime Minister.

Is it worth it?  Are we willing to sacrifice all this and those living creatures simply to donate some extra money to the USA through a NAFTA tribunal claim, and a couple of bucks to Alberta?

Today two MPs from the area were arrested at Burnaby doing what they believe is right and supporting their constituents and first nations of the area in their refusal to grant permission to have this pipeline do irreparable damage to this beautiful land and coast which we are here to protect for our children and grandchildren and generations to come.

There are many things Canada has done which shame us such as the residential schools and the complete destruction of Libya; our undying support of The State of Israel no matter who they kill and our incompetence in managing our own financial affairs since 1974 and now this wanton act of submission to corporate greed is another example of where we could have done soo much better.

Sunny days – my aunt fanny!

A guest column

“the Law’s delay, the insolence of office”  (Shakespeare/Hamlet)

 

                                             By Robin Mathews (March 2018)

 

One of the most important legal cases in the history of Canada is presently in shadows as three B.C. Appeal Court justices weigh arguments in the Crown-appealed case (Jan. 15, 2018) against socially-challenged and recovering heroin addicts, John Nuttall and Amanda Korody.  Put simply – they were charged as Islamic Terrorists intending death and destruction to innocents on July 1, 2013, at the grounds of the B.C. Legislature.

The case is one of the most important in Canadian history because the jury conviction of ‘guilty’ was erased by Madam Justice Catherine Bruce as part of a truly gigantic decision that the whole expensive, months-long activity operated from the RCMP Ottawa head office into the B.C. Fraser Valley (and to Victoria) was undertaken to lead, entrap, and criminalize the two accused … in a plan to mislead and misinform Canadians about terrorist activity in the country.  The mere possibility that State operatives in Canadian democracy might be engaged in such a way points to a possible development of Fascism here that should send a quiver of fear (and outrage) down the spine of every Canadian.

In addition, the matter is hugely important as the apparent uncovering – the revelation – of a “False Flag”, – in short a dark, political action  (possibly ordered from the Stephen Harper Prime Minister’s Office) to victimize the incompetent and innocent pair on behalf of “Western”  desires to paint Islam as an inhuman breeder of despicable brutalities. (Fortunately, Justice Bruce had no need to go near that matter in her reasoning or judgement.)  So far – across the West – the power and tightness of control by “the Deep State” has been so effective that an undeniable finding of State “False Flag” activity has been impossible to achieve anywhere.  Some will say that such a finding has been impossible because in a fair review of facts … no such finding could be made.

This case is, nonetheless, unique in that – if the judgement by Justice  Bruce is upheld – it will confirm from the highest level of justice that government-created False Flag criminal events to indoctrinate and brainwash populations are in fact possible and do in fact take place

With brilliant care and detail, Justice Bruce unpicked the verbal and film evidence submitted by the RCMP. The RCMP representative was presented to the accused couple, she concluded, as wholly sympathetic to violence, as building a strong friendship with the pair accused, financing (for the couple) travel, hotels, meals, transport – even, allegedly, nudging them towards the choice of terrorist device … and … perhaps even helping to assemble the false bombs. (As well as dissuading them from seeking advice from an Islamic Holy Man about the religious validity of blowing up innocent people.)

In a case of such compelling importance (ignored almost completely by so-called Mainstream Press and Media in that regard), Canadians have to think of the kinds of pressure that are exerted on the three, presently engaged, B.C. Appeal Court judges.  We want to believe their review of the case is completely unencumbered by “influence” of any kind.  And that may be the situation.

But the federal Cabinet has already made clear where its loyalty lies: it is “with, right-or-wrong, the RCMP” (a very, very dangerous stance).  My letter to major Cabinet members asking for a Public Inquiry into RCMP behaviour and actions was funnelled to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness – the Honourable Ralph Goodale.  His reply to me did not mention that the letter concerned a Public Inquiry.  Instead, he thanked me for my letter about the RCMP’s “major crime technique”. And Minister Goodale urged me to support the RCMP.

If the actions of the RCMP in the matter of the Nuttall/Korody case reveal the exercise of the Force’s “major crime technique”, then any Canadian may fairly believe the Federal Cabinet (not incorrectly termed “the Crown” in criminal cases) openly approves of the RCMP as a criminal organization – doing the bidding of government insiders and their ‘handlers’ … however criminal the bidding. (A more alarming possibility is hard to imagine.)

The justices on the case have an unenviable task.  Justices Pamela Kirkpatrick, David Harris, and Elizabeth Bennett are experienced jurists.  But they are not “better” than Justice Catherine Bruce, repeatedly praised for her clear head, her conscionable independence of mind, and her skilful judicial reasoning.

The Appeal Court justices are acting in the face of enormous power – not an unusual situation for higher court Justices.  But … in relation to the higher courts of Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia I believe that, in recent years, I have been able to detect real attempts to control (that is, to manipulate) judicial action and its fair operation  … in short, to use the higher courts to achieve criminal ends.

That means, in this case especially, Canadians should be aware and vigilant.  Especially since they won’t be urged to be those things by British Columbia’s “Mainstream Press and Media” whose hands, I believe, have been blackened (repeatedly) in their work “reporting” to British Columbians about major court actions of deepest interest to the people – and to the rule of law – in the province.
