>People stood by and watched 17 sundancers have 70 000 rounds of bullets rained down on them in Gustafson Lake in the nineties, while the RCMP was able to get a complete media blackout. Today with the case of the Toronto 17, after a full week of uncontested sensationalist slander campaign the prosecution was able to approach the courts a full media black out as well. >5 middle eastern/Arabic men where held in solitary confinement for almost a year under Canadian Security Certificates, before becoming widespread knowledge in the mass media and general public. One wife of one of the imprisoned had a website, grassroots campaign, and desperate media appeals going 24 hrs a day for that period of time. >Canadian government was talking about the need to see President Aristade of Haiti removed for their own interests as early as the time of the Meech Lake Accord, whereas the general citizenry of this Country has no real understanding of what was going on Haiti until an RCMP officers (a retired RCMP officer no less - who was part of a 125 officer force in charge of supervising and training the Haitian National Police) returned home dead. This almost a year after Canadian special forces the JTF2 held the Haitian National Airport secure while US special forces kidnapped President Aristade You talk about how if there was in fact a basis for what djmarkpaul was talking about, that people in this country would be talking about it and yet you do not acknowledge the sources WHO ARE. It is not an issue about a lack of dialogue about specific happenings, its about the fact that YOU ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THEM. I think you're intelligent enough to understand that behind the three examples I just provided for you and any other reader, I have thousands more, and sooner or later you will realize that its no longer about providing more facts, more opinion, more context and more visibility, but rather it will fall on the shoulders of arrogant citizens like you to start paying attention.

>You are a self proclaimed middle class nationalist, you are severely ill informed about issues in the Indigenous, Immigrant and refugee communities. And I’m supposed to think that your beliefs have anything to do with the best interests of me or mentioned communities? "Conflict makes the world go round???" >Are you trying to be glib or profound? Either case, this statement is actually true. Conflict fuels capitalism, and capitalism creates conflict. But what does your mentioning of this mean? It is, therefore we must accept it? Well I guess that would be easy for someone like you to say? Because once again I must expose your own position in society, and your lack of any peripheral knowledge outside your own social circles, ethnicity, economic standing or the mainstream news. Be so critical of a country that affords me freedoms? >What does this really mean? Historically this comment has always, always been the polite way of saying, "if you dissent, if you speak out, if the rattle the cage, you will get bitten" You also mentioned in a previous post that one should not live in the past. (of course being completely irrelevant in the context of what we are talking about and essentially a lie) And yet I cant help but point out, that just like you have massive blinders on to contemporary issues, you also wear them for what has happened in the past. As a matter of fact I’m starting to wonder if you are part of a contigent of young men in this country that have lived such sheltered lives, and followed blindly and patriotically in a bid to fit in and find acceptance. YAY you know a lot about the military, AND YAY you are a good shot with a rifle or gun, and YAY you wave a flag! But you are shallow, and arrogant. Your words are reminiscient of a bully in school who beats up other kids, because of their own insecurities, confusion and demoralization. Except in your case, you don’t even really commit any serious oppressive acts. You don’t even have the skills or talents, to be "mastah" Your an ideological lackey. You are the small child that HIDES BEHIND THE BULLY. When everything gets stripped YOU hold onto what you believes will give you identity, purpose and pride easily and quick. You may have undertaken a lot of hard work in your life, to prepare for RMC, or to learn to fly and yet you failed to undertake the most difficult task. Challenging your own beliefs consistently for as long as you live. As you said, "you have better things to do." Quote:

-There are currently over 600, 000 displaced Afghan Refugees. -At least a 1000 children have been killed from direct coalition soldier fire.(most of which are through the course of checkpoint oppression) -Afghanistan has the worst literacy rate in the world. -The life expectancy collectively for both sexes has dropped 4.5 years since 2001 -Almost all major roads, clean water systems, and electricity providers are disintegrated __First it was because of 9/11. Then there was a US shift to Iraq because of WMD's and removing the president. __Then Canada lead forces in Afghanistan and Haiti for peacekeeping. The Canadian government announced a need to put Canada on the world map and protect "Canadian interests" in Afghanistan and Haiti. __Three separate RCMP contingents are operating in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti __Violence and death and poverty increase 100x's over in Iraq, Haiti, and Afghanistan __2006 sees the MOST aggressive coalition imperialist attacks to date. And yet these situations where supposed to be put to bed 5 years ago. There has been NO significant reconstruction in Iraq, Haiti or Afghanistan __Collectively there are at least 3 million unemployed peoples in these three nations __lastly as mentioned countless times before, attacks on Immigrants, refugees, Indigenous peoples INCREASE AT HOME And all the while a young man, who's writing reeks of his mothers breast milk, holds a flag in one hand, a rifle in the other, proudly wearing horse blinders dirt packed tightly in his ears, and a hollow feeling in his heart and soul that he tells no one about. Do YOURSELF a favor. Study up on the true distinction between what you believe is a patriot, and what has been the historical example of a revolutionary. I think at some point you will realize that it is fact the revolutionaries in the past, who have operated from a real love for their nation, and it was the patriot who is and was motivated by self interest. |
