Freedom Festival 2013

Freedom Festival 2013

   Yesterday (May 11) was the day many in Toronto look forward to all year, the annual Marijuana March, a protest that has been taking place every year for almost as long as I can remember. In recent years it has turned into not only a march but an all day festival.

   As a young man I remember the Prime Minister of this country telling the people that if they just elected him one more time he would decriminalize marijuana in Canada. Well lucky Pierre Trudeau was yanking our chain then as others have since and I'm sure his kid Justin will in the next election. I can remember marching with my three year old daughter on my shoulders, yesterday at seventeen she was there with her friends and about 12 to 14 thousand other mostly young people. Young people and adults who should not have to worry about a criminal record or going to jail because they eat or smoke a plant that GOD saw fit to put on this earth. Add yesterday’s numbers to every other city and town across this country who also march year after year and it quickly becomes clear that that the government of Canada is not interested in what the majority of Canadians want or need. 

 

 It’s been perfectly clear to almost all Canadians, police chief’s and politicians that the prohibition against marijuana has failed miserably and yet these public official’s continue to make criminals out of not only the sick and disabled who depend on it to live a normal life but pray on many hard working Canadians who enjoy using it recreationally.

   I could talk about the many benefits this humble little plant could bring to our society and how much better off we could be taking advantage of the many uses this plant has. All of that means nothing though because our government serves the industry and people who wanted it made illegal in the first place and not the people of Canada. Your vote means nothing compared to big money and oil who give the government of Canada their marching orders. I can't help but wonder how long it would stay illegal if the thousands who come out to the festival were to close down the court house in old city hall every day where they dish out the fines and incarcerations?

    For the second or third year in a row now the government has refused to issue permits for this event and yet people turn out for it anyway and it still goes on. The people sell and trade the baked goods and people commit the same crimes of smoking the weed that you arrest us for every other day when we are not in the same overwhelming numbers. We the people have nothing but contempt for the politicians who will not decriminalize it and the police who enforce this stupid law.

   The people have spoken Mr. Harper, Shame on all you fools on the hill. One day we will not need to gather in numbers to keep from getting busted for smoking a joint in the park. But until that day we will meet in your park once a year and hold up a big middle finger to all you fools on the hill. I will come out every year as I have done for the last forty, and my child will continue to do so for me after I'm gone and one day we will have justice.

Canada’s Right/Left Extremists

Canada’s Right/Left Extremists

   With a far right neoconservative government in Canada which may have very well come into power in an illegitimate way, there is a phenomena taking place that concerns me even more. That’s the massive amount of people flocking to the extreme left as a result.

   By extreme left I’m not talking about the NDP of old under people like Jack Layton or Ed Broadbent. I’m referring to a very large and growing group of people flocking to groups that can only be defined by names like, The International Socialists, The Socialist League, Trotskyist and international Bolshevik tendency, Canadian Marxists…and on and on, these communists go by many names and change them often.

   The problem is not that people have these far left political beliefs as much as it is the activist and anarchist groups they use to hide their beliefs behind. The names of these groups they also change often mostly to hide the political agenda behind them from the dupes they recruit to swell their ranks. They gain these recruits by forming groups that they use to infiltrate and take over legitimate causes.

   These people think nothing of using violence as a means to their ends and are the very same people who wore masks and dressed in black at the G-20 and were used and controlled by police to be the excuse that was needed to justify that billion dollar budget. These people call themselves the “Black Bloc Anarchists”  but they go by many other names as well like “No one is illegal”, Queers Against Israel Apartheid, The Ruckus Society, anti-racist action, just to name a few.

   These groups of people are well organized, well-funded and national. Their influence spreads across this country from coast to coast. They are funded using money from U.S. foundations like the Tides and Rockefeller foundations and labor groups like CUPE and CAW, That’s not to say all members of unions in Canada are communist but by funding the red agenda they are buying ideological co-operation and the bodies of the dupes they recruit to support their union causes.

   This became blatantly obvious with the failed Occupy movement in Canada. Occupy was billed as a movement to stop the corporate greed and banking fraud but thanks to the people who took control, it was everything but that, Occupy was a coup d'état of grand proportion for these fake activists who, until that time only had a limited success on the university campuses of Canada. By taking control of the Occupy movement in Canada before it even got off the ground they were able to expand their sphere of influence and start recruiting the social under-class and ordinary Canadians who had social concerns to be used as cannon fodder for their far left agenda.

   They now believe they control all protest and social justice activism. Any group or activist who are not controlled by this group are slandered and lied about publicly and physically attacked and bullied privately. When the group “We Are Change” in Victoria B.C. refused to be pushed around by this group of socialist anarchists. They held a rally called “Occupy Solutions” at the B.C. legislature. In response to We Are Change not falling into the controlled Occupy script the group of masked, fake activists protested the rally, handing out flyers calling WAC racists and bigots. On the net they outed one of the leaders of WAC as a homosexual and took over and “occupied” the coffee shop where WAC held their weekly meetings. Never mind that the claims of racism and bigotry were totally untrue and unfounded. That’s just one example of how these people operate. In another incident that I have written about, these Black Bloc anarchists attacked and beat writer Greg Renouf in Kensington Market in Toronto because he has been persistent in the critical writing about the individual’s that are part of this group in both Toronto and Vancouver. In that case after months of lying about his character publicly he was attacked physically by a few of these masked social anarchists. Even though the police were provided with the names and unmasked photographs of the attackers to this date they still refuse to make an arrest?  

( UPDATE One of the assailants was arrested when Renouf spotted him at a recruiting table at Ryerson University. Six months after the assault)

   During the red badge student protests in Hamilton, Ontario one of these communists pushed a student, citizen journalist into a police horse in an attempt to silence his voice in the protest because he was not spewing their collectivist dogma with his bull horn. All this brings us to their current pet project, the idle No More protests. Anyone who believes that the INM movement is a grass roots movement by native Canadians that just sprung up all on its own have not been paying attention.

  Idle No More is a well-organized campaign with lots of money and planned coordination and these same professional protesters behind it.

    One of the ongoing targets of these fake political activists are the group that they and George Bush refer to as “conspiracy theorists” but the truth of it is they have those amongst them that wish to also control the truth movement as well. Many of the people who speak the truth are weary of these people. Publicly many in the truth movement will not speak out against these people, although some have condemned the actions of the black Bloc. These socialist anarchists tell those who follow them that the Black Bloc is a tactic and not a group. That it is just another tactic in the socialist activists’ tool box. But many in the Truth movement know the lies behind this. A good example of this was the G-20 in Toronto, First these people supported the Black Bloc that gave the police the excuse for violence then afterwards they took control of all the protest against the same police violence they co-operated in creating. At Occupy they cried that they had a right to free speech and the right to protest and at the same time censored anybody in social media who spoke the truth about them and publicly smear and slander anybody who speaks against them at protests.

  

   The biggest enemy to these people is the truth. This is why they slander, beat and intimidate any people of the truth movement that they have not been able to co-opt. Most of the alternative media not controlled by their faction know this. Well-funded outlets that they use to spread their propaganda like Media co-op and Rabble.ca masquerade as alternative media but are in fact socialist rags with a political agenda and not interested in the truth at all. They are no better than the main stream media that spread the lies of the bankers and large corporations that own them.

    In the last couple of years protest has been manufactured behind the scenes by people with connections and support to groups like lead now, move on and common cause. Large money has been thrown into protests like the robocall, student red square, occupy and Idle no more actions. The people recruited though these protests used to beef up political actions and protests like ocap (Ontario coalition against poverty) and protests at the Liberal leadership conventions. The occupy zombie horde has been used to protest city budget meetings and votes that impact public service unions and recently have even turned up as muscle in the Porter air lines strike. 

     In looking at these so called social justice anarchists we must ask ourselves what is their real agenda? On the surface they seem to covertly support the agenda of the United Nations, Global warming and agenda 21. Which means in reality they support the agenda of the banks and large corporations in bringing Canada into a globalized world while appearing to confront both the political right and left that also support a globalized Canada. Sounds crazy don’t it?

   After watching these people closely over the course of a couple of years I believe they are a cult, only a few at the top know what’s really going on and the rest have invested so much of their lives and energy into it, believe so intensely, have such a fear of being ousted there’s no way out or any critical thought of why they continue to support their leaders. Those who have taken Ruckus society training even have secret matching tattoo’s. Again these people are well organized, national, well-funded and dangerous. They are also not being honest with the people who call them friends. Let us be more aware of who we all throw our support behind in these dangerous times.

Boycott The Toronto Raptors

 

    Last night at the Air Canada Center in Toronto fans of the Toronto Raptors were left standing in line in freezing subzero temperatures so security could follow the commands of the U.S. NBA headquarters and wand check all patrons one at a time in a search for illegal weapons!

   That’s right folks, the paranoid U.S. police state has come to Canada and the NBA decided that Canadian basketball fans should be treated like gun toting criminals. It’s bad enough that you can no longer fly anywhere in Canada without the ok of the American no fly list and groping at the airport, but now just to see a basketball game in this city you have to submit to a search by some untrained cop wanna be.

   And what happens when this Bozo in a uniform gets a hit on his little wand? Will he stick his hand in your pocket and play with your junk? Or feel up your teenage daughter because the wire in her bra set his stick a beepin?

    Truth of the matter is the NBA has no right to violate your rights under the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms, we already have strict gun control laws in Canada and if somebody is in violation of those laws it’s a matter for the Toronto Police not some minimum wage clown at a basketball game. You also have the right not to be searched without reasonable cause.

   The NBA, The Air Canada Centre and the Toronto Raptors have stepped over the line and are offending the sensibilities of Canadian’s here and we should not be submitting to this U.S. style oppression here. Our rights as Canadians are being incrementally taken away in the name of globalization and merging our standards to accommodate a growing American police state.

    Today when I protested these searches on the Toronto Raptors facebook page I was immediately banned and my post taken down. Why? Does Raptor management know what they are doing is wrong?

   If we allow this type of treatment to continue we will find ourselves total slaves to American policy here where we live. (Even more so that is).

   I call for an explanation from the Toronto Raptors why they thought it was more important to follow orders from the U.S. NBA head office and let their fans freeze in subzero winter cold.

     I call for a total BOYCOTT of all NBA games in Canada until this policy of personal illegal searches is stopped in Canada.

Media Co-op takes out hit on writer!

   Local activists are abuzz over the blatant threat published yesterday by media co-op out of Vancouver against writer and true activist Greg Renouf over an article he wrote last week condemning violence in the social justice (fake activist) community.

  In an article published under the pseudonym RENOUFISAGOOF  media co-op clearly crossed the line with the article titled “Greg Renouf: Dangerous Reactionary” . The article calls for Renouf to be “shut down  in whatever capacity possible” and  referred to him as a “dangerous right-wing reactionary” and a “racist”  As a friend of Greg’s I can assure you that he is neither right wing or racist. In fact I believe he was dating a black woman at one point. (sorry to tell tales out of school) Point is, this leftist social justice cult are the dangerous people and they are targeting Greg Renouf for pointing that fact out.

   Cult? You bet I just used the word cult because that’s just what these people are, with some of them right down to matching gang tattoos. These social justice cult leaders (Or  facilitators as they called themselves during Occupy) rule over their group in much the same way other cults operate, praise for those acting in an approved manner and insults and social shunning for those who don’t toe the line. For those of us who out right oppose their little mind control game, we are branded as enemies of the people and labelled with names like right wing, racist, government agent, and the one they tried to hang on me misogynist. (My daughter burst out laughing when I told her to go look it up)

   But what this article is attempting to do is not funny at all. These leaders are cowards, when four of them “masked up” and laid a beating on Greg last June in Kensington Market with one of their anarchist flag poles he ended up with a trip to the hospital and staples in his head. Well even though the Toronto police showed a lack of interest in investigating and arresting those responsible Greg was successful in getting a couple of beat cops to do their job and arrest one of them when Greg ran across him again at Ryerson University a month ago. He was recruiting students for their cult at a table and this activity was actually sanctioned by the University and/or the student union!!!

   So now that one of them has been arrested for their violence against Greg they are attempting to get one of their zombies to do it for them. The first attempt to do this was at an OCAP rally, before marching on the Ontario Liberal convention a couple of weeks ago.

  An attempt at mob violence did not come to pass however when one of these social anarchists grabbed the mic and started spewing lies to the crowd. I have to hand it to Greg in the calm way he handled this incident, He is a better man than I because I would not have been as calm and level headed as he and Frank were that day.

   This brings us to this anonymous threat. Media Co-op and Rabbel.ca are the mouth piece of these dangerous socialist anarchists. It’s one thing to spread their blatant communist propaganda but it’s another thing when this platform is used to call out for violence to be committed on an individual just because you don’t like what he writes!

If media co-op does not care to be more responsible with what they publish and post in the future I'm sure they will end up dealing with more than an angry blog post from me, and I will be the first person sitting in a court room cheering on whoever it is that shuts them down  in whatever capacity possible.

Time For Health Canada to come clean!

Time For Health Canada to come clean!

   On Thursday, November 8^th 2012 a press conference was held in the offices of constitutional lawyer Rocco Galati. The subject was to announce a class action lawsuit that was recently filed, on the behalf of their clients, against Health Canada.

   The clients Nick Mancuso (Actor/Consumer Advocate), Marilyn Nelson (Natural Health Freedom Canada), and David Roland (Natural Health Freedom Advocate) are seeking justice on behalf of the people who sell dietary supplements, vitamins and natural health products in Canada. In the Statement of Claim filed in the Federal Court of Canada, the Lawsuit claims that many of the current policies, regulations and actions undertaken or initiated by Health Canada, against Canadian natural health product manufacturers, retailers or their suppliers, are unconstitutional and contravene The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and The Canadian Constitution.

(Left) constitutional lawyer Rocco Galati (right) Nick Mancuso Actor/Consumer Advocate)

   The Class Action Lawsuit maintains that:

1) Dietary supplements and vitamins (“natural health products”) are safe.  In the entire 50+ history of the health food industry in Canada, these innocuous products have caused zero fatalities.

2) Consumers are sufficiently protected from possible harm and fraud with respect to these products by the Food and Drugs Act, the Competition Act, Canadian Advertising Standards, and the Criminal Code.  The Natural Health Product Regulations are unnecessary in that they do not provide any additional protection to consumers.

3) The Natural Health Product Regulations and the NPN Licensing Scheme are ultra vires (unlawful) in that they contravene the Constitution Act, 1867.  Health Canada does NOT have any legal authority to regulate health products, as such.

4) Health Canada has the right to restrict only those products that have been proven to have caused death or serious injury.  In the absence of proven harm, dietary supplements and vitamins must be presumed to be safe (i.e., innocent until proven guilty).  Health Canada has unlawfully reversed this onus, however, by insisting that suppliers prove their products “not unsafe” before being granted permission to sell them.

5) The oppressive and unlawful NHP Regulations have restricted many thousands of safe and effective products from the market, thus depriving consumers of their freedom to choose valuable health options (in apparent violation of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms).

  All this has come about because of policies that the United Nations has set forth and the Canadian government has adopted as part of the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) The effect these laws have is to give a very large advantage to the large pharmaceutical company’s at the expense of smaller health product manufacturers, retailers and  suppliers of such things as vitamins and oil of oregano, Many of these products should be treated as food and not drugs anyway. By putting strict drug licensing and regulations on these small manufactures, producers and retailers the government is forcing them out of business and turning over a large and growing market over to the big pharmaceutical manufacturers and retail drug store chains. Many of these products are not drugs at all but herbs, spices and mixtures of natural plants that mankind has been using as natural herbal remedies for hundreds of years.  

    Nick Mancuso pointed out at the press conference that although many deaths can be attributed over the last few years to drugs that were approved and latter pulled by the FDA, Nobody had in fact ever died from the proper use of “natural health products”

    This class action suit will effect every family in Canada in the way you wish to keep your family healthy and the foods and herbs you will be allowed to have access to. This will be one to follow folks!

Protester or Activist?

     I see a lot of protesters and occupiers calling themselves activists these days, but these people have little clue what a real political activist is. To drop the word political from the term political activist makes you a protester, nothing more. The word activist stems from the word action and although protesting is an important pursuit, to become part of the political process and be actively working toward political goals is what being an activist really is.

    We have a very serious problem in this country. The general public has become so disillusioned with the corrupted main stream political parties that they have stopped taking part in the political process altogether. In the last general federal election only 61.1 percent of the eligible registered voters even bothered. In the recent Toronto/Danforth by election in which I was campaign manager for the leader of the Canadian Action party it was even lower at 43.4% which is less than half the people who could vote did! A lot of people I have met in the Truth movement and in Occupy suffer from the same lack of insight as the general public, in the fact that they strive for political change and yet refuse to become part of the political process.

   The problem with the protest community is the failure to follow through with any one action or set of demands. The powers that be have no fear of protesters and will simply ignore the protester knowing that they will move on until the next scandal. Those in power have no fear and will simply let the police step in if the protesters become a pest. One reason the protester is less of a problem for the politician is the fact that they do not get involved in the political process. The protester is not a threat to him or his power base. Some believe that getting the word out to the public about the things being protested have value, again this might be true if the media were not as controlled as the political process and the public were politically involved, which they no longer are.

    The argument heard most often, not only from the public but also from the people who wrongly think they are activists is that the system is corrupt and all the politicians are crooks, why bother voting when both main parties are the same? This brings us to the big lie, one these same politicians whisper at debates. “To vote for a fringe party or independent is a waste of a vote.” Many also wrongly believe that these fringe parties and independents are no different than the main stream parties, or that they have no real chance of winning. Well that’s what the professional politicians want too. Because buying into that puts you back to why bother voting.    

     Recently a twelve year old girl by the name of Victoria Grant became a you tube sensation with a speech about why Canada should return to utilizing the Bank of Canada. This girl got many views with her message and yet The Canadian Action Party has had this policy as its main platform for years and nobody has paid attention, why? If the people of Canada want to see real change in this country they need to drastically step up their game. Marching in protests, handing out flyers and putting up posters is a noble pursuit, but it does not make you an activist. At a recent protest I had a well-known protester start yelling at me that “he has had his camera broken, been arrested three times and given his whole life over to the cause. So don’t tell me I’m not an activist!”  Sorry no, he’s a protester. An activist would be working in some real way to bring about the political policy that he supports, this is only accomplished by participation in the political process. Besides protesting and educating the public the real activist must get personally involved in the process. This means joining a political party or supporting a candidate at elections. Another method is talking to politicians, in a non-confrontational setting to convince that politician or party that you represent the power base that supplied them with their job. Attending council meetings and writing articles on who does and does not support your cause. Form groups in your community to show that you are a clear voting block that needs to have your considerations taken into account. Or even run for office yourself with your voting block as support.

     There are only two ways that Canadians are ever going to see any kind of real political and monetary reform in this country. You could have a violent bloody revolution where intuitions fail, general mayhem and many people die. Even then there is no guarantee that what you’re left with will be any better than what you have now. The other way is to become politically involved and support an independent candidate or small or fringe party that’s not influenced by banks, corporations or foreign powers.  

     Organizing and participating in protest is an important and necessary pursuit for a political activist, but not the whole game and certainly not all it will take to see the real kind of political change we need and must have if Canada is to be a healthy and happy society.

No Justice, No Nothing……

    

 Why have the Metro Toronto police given a free pass to the Black Bloc to commit crime in Toronto?

     It has been well over a month since members of the covert crime gang known as the BLACK BLOC committed a serious assault on Toronto blogger Greg Renouf and it seems the Toronto police Dept. refuse to make an arrest even though the victim of this vicious assault has identified two of his attackers!

     Greg Renouf is a local writer who has written extensively on the Occupy movement and their relationship with the socialist/anarchist wing of the Black Bloc.

        Many of you will remember this same group of criminals from the G-20 protests of 2010 in Toronto. Word on the street at the time was that some of the Black Bloc may have been police officers just like the agent provocateurs at the SPP in Montebello Quebec in 2007.  There is no question that this same gang of “anarcho-primitivists” as Renouf had referred to them has been infiltrated by police in the past and most likely still are.

       For months Renouf has been writing articles critical of both the Black Bloc and the controlled Occupy movement that has embraced them. Renouf has shown great courage and restraint in uncovering the secret communist/Marxist control behind the Occupy movement and the various infiltrations of other activist causes like the casserole and student movements of late. Although Renouf usually makes sure he is armed with his Camera and the crowd at protests he did not expect to be jumped at night in a small park at Bellevue Square beside Toronto’s Kensington Market. Around 11:30pm on June 23^rd four of these cowards beat Renouf with a wooden flag pole and kicked him when he fell to the ground. These men were not wearing masks and Renouf could clearly identify two of his attackers. There were also a number of shocked witnesses. Although Renouf sustained serious injuries that required a trip to hospital by ambulance to close the large wounds to his head, he was still able to meet with police the next day and provided names and pictures of two of his four attackers.

      The case was turned over to Detective Williams of 14 div. who seems to be in no hurry to investigate or make an arrest. In fact in the month since the attack the victim has been told that Detective Williams has been on vacation, days off and has yet to return any of the victim’s phone calls personally. Is he waiting for this man to be killed by these thugs or is he just hoping it goes away? There is now speculation on the street that the reason there has been no arrests in this case is because one of Renouf’ s attackers is himself a Metro Toronto police employee. That is quickly becoming a lot easier to believe than the excuse that Detective Williams is too busy to investigate the matter or just too lazy to do his job.

      The power of the alternative media to cover stories that the main stream corporate media refuse to touch is important to the freedom we still have left to us in this society. When a group of criminal thugs are permitted by police to beat a writer for the soul reason that they don’t like what he has to say about them is a travesty not one of us can afford to overlook.

     Whether you sympathize with the protests or not, whether you agree with what he writes or not, when the voice of the alternative media is silenced we are all in the jackpot.  

     If the Toronto police are playing with the safety and life of Greg Renouf just to save the identity of one of their own, who may even be complaisant in this crime they had better come clean sooner rather than later!

Return of the Black Bloc Stooges 

    Occupy was the start, the forces of globalization, corporations, banks and those who support the one world government are now in control of the people who have been protesting against them! I’ve been seeing it over the last year now in Toronto. When Occupy started last October I could plainly see that something was very wrong. Occupy was an inside job . 
   The people who had a firm control over the Occupy movement were the same people out of the universities who had been pushing the global warming hoax, Al Gore’s carbon taxes, and Marxist communism. 
    It became clear very quickly that these socialists with the help of the unions were the real power behind Occupy. Occupy was billed as a protest against corporate greed and massive banking fraud but after day one this was never mentioned again. The leaders (Who did not camp in the park) were building a cult from those who did. And there were standard cult techniques being employed. Within the short period of a couple of weeks these leaders had their followers marching in support of the Robin Hood Tax and chanting down with capitalism. 
    So what was the outcome of the Occupy movement? From what I can see the result was it split a strong activist community in Toronto right down the middle. It also soured and turned off many people who were never involved before. People who have woke up to the problems in our country and wanted to do something about it were left with a bad experience and went back to being people who stay at home and do nothing because they were lied to and deceived by these phony Occupy leaders. 
    By the time May Day had rolled around in Toronto these socialists, Marxists, TROTSKYIST and communists were handing out red flags and still feeding the brain washed horde they had collected though occupy. The big difference now was their vanguard was the infamous Black Bloc. 
    The seasoned political activists among us know the Black Bloc well from the G-20 in Toronto and the SPP meetings in Montebello. We also know these people are often agent provocateurs working in the interests of police, government and the globalist cabal of bankers that some believe really run this world. It is no surprise to us as well that these Black Bloc agent provocateurs are working hand in hand with these same occupy socialists who have claimed ownership of every protest and political action that now takes place in Toronto and Canada.
    Their current project is to expand the student protests taking place in Montreal to other cities and provinces in Canada in an attempt to usher in what they refer to as “The Maple Spring,” a reference to the Arab spring protests that have brought down the government in Egypt. In every protest and action that now takes place in Toronto it is assumed you are on side with this socialist agenda and black bloc tactics or you are not welcome. If you believe in non violent protest you are naïve, if you don’t believe capitalism is the problem you have no place on the street. Make no mistake here; these people are smart enough to know that the problem is not capitalism but the globalism and corporatism that have plagued the whole world.
    Canada has always been a working mix of both capitalist and socialist philosophies. You will find few Canadians who don’t think education and health care should not be socialized, you will also find many who would agree with the students that higher education should be accessible to all and not just those who can afford it. Many, myself included have even said for years it should be free. However that does not translate into doing away with capitalism or democracy for that matter.
    No these socialists, Marxists and communists are not stupid. They are naïve however if they think this current uprising will lead to the socialist utopia they believe they can achieve. The concepts of capitalism and democracy have already been twisted out of shape and all but destroyed by the forces of globalism and corporate banking and there’s no reason at all to think that the ideal society these socialists think they are going to get will not be rolled over and crushed with even less effort.
    The long and short of it is these socialists, Marxists and Black Bloc, weather they know it or not, are the tools of the very same people they are protesting against. As they block traffic and chant “fuck the police” surely they must know they are giving the very excuse for the police to get violent. They are playing right into their hands. Canadians know the system is broken, by pushing communism and Marxism they are ensuring political change will be stalled because Canadians don’t want Marxism either.
    We are all familiar with the concept of the Hegelian Dialectic, otherwise known as “Problem-Reaction-Solution” For the globalist bankers to create a one world government and banking system they must maneuver the public into demanding it. First the problem, crash out the world economic systems, have the bought and paid for governments you control implement harsh austerity budgets to pay you back. Next step is reaction, which is now starting in Canada as it has already in many other countries. But don’t expect these "student protesters" or the politicians to address the real problems. The protesters will talk about tuition fees and police brutality, the government about order and public safety; the news papers will fuel the fire talking about the breakdown of Canadian society and as food and gas prices continue to rise along with unemployment the people will follow these fake activists and take to the street. As things go from bad to worse the government will clamp down on our freedoms and civil rights and continue to give away our Canadian sovereignty to a corporate global authority just as they have been doing for years. 
    The one thing that will not happen on either side, protesters or government will not identify or address the real problem, that of monetary and political reform. The final act in this political theatre is the solution. The world bank and the IMF will step up with a one world banking system just as the Vatican called for, To oversee this world banking system we will also get an increasingly more powerful world government. 
    So as it now stands all decent and protest in Toronto is now firmly in the control of people who either knowingly or unwittingly are working for the cause of the bankers, one percenters and the new world order. As they roll out their black bloc tactics this summer and the police respond the way police do remember this is all part of the plan the one percent have for us. Real activists do not support this these black clad stooges and neither should you.

Who is behind the control of the Occupy Toronto Movement?

Who is behind the control of the Occupy Toronto Movement?

    Modern brain washing methods were established thousands of years ago by the Roman army. It is the basis for modern day religious cults and armed forces (boot camp). It is well known that a mixture of a low protein diet, lack of sleep, communal living with a mixture of constant indoctrination, marches or hard labour and throw in some chanting (NLP or peoples mic) and bingo you have a brain washed cult.

    That is not to say that is what Occupy Toronto is. But I have noted that the leaders of this leaderless movement (The facilitators) can be compared to cult leaders. They do not live in the park, always have clean clothes, ride heard over the more politically minded members and only show up all at the same time when there are concerns about something they want passed or voted down at a general assembly meeting. These facilitators do have followers who blindly back their call as well.

    I and other activists have had reservations about these facilitators since before the occupation started at St. James Park a month ago. Some of these concerns stem from the fact they all have a history in the environmental movement and connection with groups that have in the past supported the carbon taxes the governments seem to pushing these days. Many of them come from a highly suspect group out of the University of Toronto known as the Toronto People's Assembly on Climate Justice which many see as a group that was started to support the man made global warming hoax of U.S. politician Al Gore.  These facilitators are the same people who took control of the pre-meeting in Berczy park a week before the occupation began and have not significantly added to that team or stepped down since. They openly speak about the training they have received but not where or from whom that training came?

     There are many questions I have been asking that are not being answered. Who has signing authority on the bank account? How is the movement registered and in who’s name so this bank account can even exist? How much money is there, what are these funds being used for, who paid for the post office box, true or not true that there has been office space rented? At Berczy park they spoke of anonymous donations, what was the nature of these donations, where did they come from and who agreed on this practice?

      There’s been some pretty suspect decisions made at the Occupy camp such as the support and march in favor of the “Robin Hood Tax” This was decided at a general assembly on a cold and rainy Tuesday night. The following Saturday, the day of the march not only were there a lot of CUPE union supporters in the park but hundreds of free tee shirts and buttons. In the following week of talking to at least 80 to 100 people I only found one who admitted he supported this tax. In fact the Ontario Federation of Labour and other Labour unions have poured thousands of dollars into the Occupy movement. Even though the Occupy group face a court case on Monday that could mean their eviction from St. James park.

     For weeks I have been listening to people who feel the movement is being held back, held back from actions that speak to the real concerns that the majority joined this movement for. While most wish to make statements to address their political concerns the leaders block all statements of a political nature from being passed. While those who wish to march on the banks and corporations that they see as the root of the problems we all face. The people who control the movement pimp them out to labour unions to further their agenda. These leaders have also given preferential treatment to native concerns by allowing them to lead every march and speak first at rallies. Although most sympathize with the plight of native peoples they don’t believe that’s what this movement is about and see support being lost due to this lack of focus.

   There was a group that I was a part of that produced a document, a list of demands that was compiled after three weeks of talking to people and the group felt this was a consensus of what many people were saying. This document was also a test to see if it was possible to get anything passed at the G.A. It was decided to try and pass this document in the open with as many people as possible in attendance, on a Saturday afternoon. For a week hundreds of copies were passed around the park. It was posted to the web site, face book, read many times on the live stream and talked about in the alternative media. When the day to vote came along, the facilitators decided to push the general assembly back from 6PM to 7pm at the last minute. So the list was read to a crowd of about 150 people to wild cheers and support. Since no facilitators could be found to start the G.A. it was finally called at 7:30 when one showed up after threats of starting the meeting without one. For the next hour and a half another irrelevant matter was discussed that in the end turned out to be a moot issue. By the time the topic of the widely supported document came up most of the supporters had left the park. Oddly enough at this late hour all the facilitators suddenly were in attendance with supporters and with this smaller group the document was voted down.

    Since that day many people who have brought up the document on chat or face book have been banned. There has been an organized smear campaign against myself that have included letters to the leader of the political party I am a member of and web sites that have published my work in the past. In fact in the last week there has been a lot of censorship of anybody asking questions about the bank account or any other subject concerning transparency in the movement, As of Sunday night there has been at least 40 people banned from the O.T. face book page and articles critical of the movement have been deleted from the web site.

    Also this week while the movement has been in court fighting an eviction notice from the city, the leaders still found the time to attend an "Occupied Economies" panel with representatives from Occupy Toronto, and David Miller, former Toronto Mayor now working as an advisor to the World Bank. The Occupy Toronto movement sent an anonymous spokesperson; a current Bay Street investment advisor, whose identity was kept secret. In the same week globalist and former Prime Minister Paul Martin even announced support for the Occupy Movement and 'Redistribution Programs'

    With all this going on the leaders in this so called leaderless movement still refuse to allow any statement critical of government or banking interests to be released. It has gotten to the point that many in the park and the movement as a whole are asking questions openly. I have seen the woman named Claudia, ( last name still not confirmed ) who has been put in charge of the bank account three times in the past week and each time she has literally run away from me while shouting over her shoulder that she will get in touch with me. The lack of transparency is an issue dogging this movement that will not go away.

    Whether Mayor Rob Ford evicts the movement from the park or not the Occupy movement will go on. The people of Toronto and the rest of Canada support this popular movement. Canada and the world have woken up to the fact that there is an evil corruption in their mist and will stand for it no longer. Attempts to control this movement and the impact it will have on our society will in the end fail. The question that is now being asked is who is behind this control and how long will it take to wrestle the control of the movement back so we can get on with the business of setting the country and the world back on track.

Occupy Toronto proposed List of demands

we propose the Occupy Toronto Movement consider and vote that the following statement to be issued to all media on behalf of the movement

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   It has become clear that globalism and corporate greed have become a detriment to the majority of Canadians. It has also become apparent that our political system serves these banking and corporate interests and not majority of Canadians that have elected them to their office to serve the people of Canada. 

   We the people of the Occupy Toronto Movement demand on behalf of the people of Canada the following policies be instituted immediately.

1.       An end to the fractional reserve banking system, that the government Of Canada return to financing the public debt though the Bank of Canada interest free and reclaim the power to create our own currency away from the private banking system. 

2.       Restrictions be placed on the rights of corporations. Corporations are not people and should not share the same rights of people. Corporations must be banned from making political donations. Corporations should be taxed on the import of finished goods and machinery as well as a heavy tax on the out sourcing of labor and jobs outside of Canada. Excessive executive recompense has also become detrimental to Canadian business and should also be restricted by law.

3.       A healthy fourth estate being essential to the democratic process, a return to stringent media ownership laws are necessary to insure a free press in Canada.

4.       An immediate end to all Canadian military intervention in all foreign countries.

5.       It is clear that our current political system does not represent the wishes or needs of the Canadian people therefore we demand that a national dialog be undertaken to deal with the pressing need for political reform in Canada.

6.       For too long Corporations and the wealthiest income earners in Canada have not met their obligations to rest of the country, the belief that giving tax breaks to this group creates employment is a fallacy. We therefore demand that policies be instituted that require large corporations and the top ten percent of income earners be taxed at a higher rate and that taxes for the rest of Canadians be reduced.

7.       The Canadian criminal code be reviewed and policing policies be examined to ensure the rights and freedoms of Canadians are upheld and that the charter of rights and freedoms be strictly adhered to by all police services across Canada. Furthermore all Canadian police services submit to the authority of civilian review committees.

8.       All policies and negotiations that threaten Canadian sovereignty such as CETA, SPP, and Border Security agreements are suspended immediately, and Canada’s participation in international agreements such as Codex Alimentarius and agenda 21 are put on hold pending review in a more public forum. Canadian sovereignty is to be considered the right of the people and not to be traded or bartered by our government.

9.       Canada’s natural resources are to be considered the property of all the Canadian people. All harvesting, mining, logging and oil extraction to be reviewed with consideration to environmental impact and benefit to the people of Canada and not the corporations that extract them.

10.   Basic human rights and freedoms of the individual are to be considered paramount, and shall supersede all laws passed by government. Every Canadian has the right to food, shelter, basic education and health care and the freedom to live unencumbered of excessive government intervention. 

we propose this document be distributed amongst the people of Occupy Toronto and voted on in the afternoon general assembly on Saturday November 12, 2011 and if passed, issued as a press release on behalf of the Occupy Toronto Movement immediately that day.

What’s going on in the park? Occupy Toronto (day 7)

What’s going on in the park?

Occupy Toronto (day 7)

    Day seven of the occupy Toronto movement has me wondering exactly what I want to say about this movement. I could tell you about day to day life in the park, or the marches that have taken place, or what the many people I have talked to have said about why they are part of this world wide show of frustration and displeasure. As for myself I’m seeing red flags and I’m not talking about the communists.

   We are living at what could be a turning point in history and I can’t help but speculate on who’s driving the car? I have spent a few days this week just hanging in the park, observing and talking to many people, all kinds of people, young, old, activists I have known for some time, people I have only met on face book, and lots and lots of people who for them this is their first protest or action.

   The main stream corporate media report that the message is fragmented and the demands of the people are many, they continue to broadcast interviews with protesters who cannot articulate the problems and do not speak for the majority. I find the opposite to be true. Of the many I have spoken with, although they will say it in many different ways, all seem to be on the same page as to what this movement is about. The message I get from them all is corporate greed, the private banking system that has taken control of the creation of our money and the fact that our political system serves these corporations and bankers and not the people who elect them. Every other issue is a symptom of these problems.

    Although this is what the people in the movement are talking about, the people who are in control of the general people’s assembly seem to do nothing but direct the people with their rules of speech and etiquette and hold glorified pep rallies. The Occupy Toronto organization is made up of many volunteers who sit on many committee’s such as medical, food, media and logistics. There is one group however who control the real power of the movement and moderate the general assembly, this small group is the facilitating team. These facilitators are the same people who have taken control of this movement long before the group first came together in the park last Saturday. This group of very elusive people seem to consist of very educated university students and graduates, well trained in psychology and group control dynamics. Armed with reasonable explanations for their methods straight out of a document known as the Quick guide on group dynamics in people’s assemblies which they claim comes from the Occupy movement in Spain. The problem with this is that there has been much speculation that these other Occupy groups are as controlled as the ones in Canada appear to be. I have been hearing the same concerns of outside control from activists known to me across Canada and the United States, I will in this article only be addressing the Toronto group which I have personally been observing.

    One of the most interesting tactics employed by the facilitators in group meetings is something they call “The peoples Microphone” rather than using a sound amplification system or bull horn, they will call out “Mic check” which is an instruction to the crowd to repeat what they say in a loud, almost hypnotic chant supposedly so all can hear the words spoken, they say this method is used so that everyone can feel they are part of the process and to create unity of the group. The truth is this method is also well known to psychologists as Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). (NLP) is an approach to psychotherapy and organizational change based on "a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them" to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior. 

   NPL does not seem to be the only psychological tactic in these facilitators tool box. Should anyone raise concerns about content or methods they are quickly encouraged to join one of the volunteer committee’s and see for themselves that nothing sinister is going on. That person is then directed to a job on one of the various committee’s that provide services to the camp or even made a marshal to police the camp activates, but access to the inner core of the facilitating team seems not to be an option that can be attained. In fact it took me much effort and days of being led around the park looking before I was able to nail down one of these “non leaders” for a off camera interview that was cut short because the facilitator was so busy (busy hiding from questions like mine is my guess)

    Her name is Sarah Rotz, (Master of Environmental Studies Candidate, York University, Honour's Bachelor Degree in Environmental Management and Business Management, University of Toronto)  Talking to Sarah was like talking to customer service at the phone company, none of the excitement or passion that I got from others in the park. My first question was her background and experience in activism?  She told me about her work on the Toronto People's Assembly on Climate Justice, another highly suspect group, it appears the Toronto chapter of this international group are the very same people who turned up as facilitators in the Occupy Toronto movement. When I started asking questions about the anonymous donations and allegations of control by CSIS that a young man named Thomas Zaogg had made moments earlier in the park, something interesting happened. A man appeared at her side and started answering the questions for her. When I asked if he was a facilitator as well ? He told me no, nor was he on any of the other committees, just another protester in the park. Well for just another protester in the park this man who identified himself only as Aden seemed to know all the text book answers. The pair dismissed my questions as paranoia and even suggested the drugged up young man named Thomas (who had been thrown under the bus at the pre-Occupy meeting) was himself a CSIS agent. The pair then told me they were busy and quickly disappeared into the crowd in the park. Any other attempts to track down and question facilitators this week have proved futile.

   In the first week of the Occupy Toronto Movement, they have entrenched themselves in St. James park, had a number of protest marches, discussion groups, arranged for food and communications in the park, but have yet to issue a group statement of any kind. Since day one I am also hearing talk of “things that don’t seem right about this whole thing”, but the people camping in the park don’t seem concerned about this at all? I am also hearing the same concerns from other Canadian cities as well. For example when the march came back from city hall this Saturday a general assembly was called and even though someone was going though the crowd taking names for a list of people who wished to speak, the facilitator announced the speakers list was full and they would not be hearing from anyone who was not on the list. What list? I could see the list had not yet been compiled? Although anybody is supposed to be allowed to speak at these controlled meetings that’s not what is happening.

    Now don’t get me wrong here, I believe in the goals and spirit of this movement. Even though I strongly believe that this movement is currently being controlled by what may be government agents in an attempt to control the direction of this popular uprising. The people may yet achieve real change in how we function as a society.  In the end I also believe these attempts at control will fail. It will take more than a bunch of university control freaks with a bag full of psychological tricks to stop what has started in the world. I believe we are at a turning point in history and the people who have been steering the car may well end up as road kill.
