Appealing To The Intellect The Difficulties Of The War On Terror, And The Distrust Of High Officials

Minister of Justice and Attorney General Peter MacKay comments on planned mass shooting in Halifax

Listen to his words, and watch the appearance of his behavior in answer to the questions of the reporters. Is it that he seems 'lost', or the scenario is not that clear? Some of the evasions and like of the vague language, so as not to discuss of any real objections, or maybe he be trying real hard not to understand something. If so,-----what would that something be? Would their be some intellectual difficulties, in finding things to fit well with terrorism, I mean, the war on terror, as to a planned mass shooting ?

The new Bill C51, new anti-terror bill, unveiled by Prime Minister Stephen Harper with his “dire warnings about the threats facing Canada from radical, freedom-hating groups on the other side of the world”.

This be a wide in range and effect, legislation that covers all what you’re allowed to say and write, to who can board a plane, and the things that can happen to the tax information and how long you can be detained without charge.

The highlights of Bill C51:

• Government institutions such as the Canada Revenue Agency can share your personal information with security agencies if they think it would be “relevant” to security issues.


• You can go to jail for up to five years for “promoting” or “advocating” terrorism in general, whether you think it’ll actually result in terrorist activity or are just “reckless.”


• Security agencies can issue takedown orders for online content deemed “terrorist propaganda.”


• If police believe you could commit or be involved in terrorism they can detain you – with a judge’s approval – up to seven days without charge, up from the previous three.


• Canada’s spy agency CSIS can act to “disrupt” terrorist activity, not just provide information on it. But this, too, requires a judge’s approval.


• It’ll be easier to keep you off a plane if you’re on a no-fly list or the Minister thinks you should be.


• It’ll be tougher to get into the country, and get citizenship, if you’re believed to have terrorist ties.

Surely, it can not be that Canada be undertaking of the war-mongering, and making a problem worse; saying something that makes a bad situation even worse. Oh, even to make an angry person get even more angry.

But, then maybe it all be of control, where the the undue use of exaggeration or display be for a reason, when our 'protectors' fear the common people with the questions and the resistance to the 'protectors' excess language that describes something as worse than it really is.

The use of fascist words in a conservative ideology, may confuse when we begin to fear our protectors more than the terrorists. The days of peace-keeping are over. The Canadian society be in the midst of a renovation, after what may have been a secret coup. The fear of the common people to the terror of the 'jihadist' be a political weapon worked to the fullest.

To add to the coup, the experts are even studying the phenomena of vaccine rejection by those people who refuse. The measles outbreak, the criticizing harshly the people not having their children given the measles vaccinations, when it is that many people do not trust the vaccines in general. That is to say, vaccines such as the flu, measles, pertussis vaccines, are all summed together as bad by those people who refuse.

If one vaccine, like the H1N1 flu vaccine, has the history of causing greater illness, then the many people who will refuse all vaccines because of it may cause greater illness. Until the governments make for a greater illumination for all to see of that the exact ingredients are in the vaccines, to do the reliable testing of any side effects for any genetic disposition of children, until then many people do not trust a government health official saying, that vaccines are safe.

Just because a government health official say that a researcher's study of vaccines causing autism has been debunked, why should the common people believe or trust in the words of government or medical officials? That is to say, the common people are just 'common' people. Who are they to question the words of such 'officials', and of science?

Words by themselves mean nothing, unless it be accompanied by force. That then be what it may come to. Quarantine? Isolation? The taking away of children by force? Well, it happened once before.

Oh, and maybe I already be in violation of the new anti-terrorist bill just by writing about this.

Former spy speaks out on anti-terror bill

By Stephen Maher, The Starphoenix February 14, 2015

Former CSIS officer Francois Lavigne is alarmed by the Conservative government's new anti-terror bill.

He believes the measures proposed in C-51 are unnecessary, a threat to the rights of Canadians and that the prime minister is using fascist techniques to push the bill.

Lavigne started his career with the RCMP security service in 1983 before the Canadian Security Intelligence Service was established.

"I was hired by the barn burners," he said in an interview last week. "I went to work for the FIU unit, the foreign interference unit. And that was where the barn burners came from."

The barn burners were the off-the-leash Mounties whose law-breaking ways led to the McDonald Commission, which led to the establishment of CSIS in 1984.

Harper’s new anti-terrorism law may face constitutional challenge.

The Conservative government says an overhaul to Canada’s security laws will make the country safer. But critics say that comes at the cost of freedom. Vassy Kapelos reports.

Maher: The real threat to our civil liberties comes from our protectors, not the terrorists

The martyred cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo, peace be upon them, were radical atheist provocateurs who lived to épater le bourgeois. They held an extreme view of the world, even in argumentative Paris, where intellectuals sit up nights thinking up outrageous things to say.

English-Canadian newspapers, serving the most politically correct society in the world, are not in the habit of provoking outrage. The fact that some didn’t print the cartoons shows that we are a cautious society, nice, respectful to our neighbours, a bit on the bland side.

And the jihadis attack journalists not because they hope to cow us into silence, but because they need the publicity, and killing cartoonists gets you more ink than killing a whole town full of Nigerians.

The terrorists don’t hate our freedoms. They are indifferent to them. What they want is to take control of their own countries. Launching high-impact attacks in the West helps them recruit fighters. Ideally, we will get so angry that we invade their countries, so they can rally their people against us, which is how Islamic State won its turf.

Canadian commentators are so gripped with their fear of the chimera — the terrorists’ threat to our freedom — that they are ignoring the real threats, the viral spread of the Islamic State message and our overreaction to that threat.

Anthropologists study why some parents hesitant about vaccinating kids

Some in the field suspect the heated debate occurring now will not sway entrenched anti-vaccination parents.

And they worry about its impact on parents who are called vaccine hesitant; they don't completely reject vaccines, but they fear them and may pick and choose the ones their children receive, leaving them unprotected against some diseases. Public health officials don't want to see hesitancy give way to wholesale rejection.

Minister of Health, Rona Ambrose says anti-vaccine movement puts children at risk

During a news conference in Vancouver on Tuesday, Rona Ambrose was asked for her thoughts on the movement that blames vaccines for a number of health issues.

The link between vaccines and autism has been debunked, and parents who have any concerns should talk to their doctor, Ambrose said.
