Kim Bolan from the Vancouver Sun is reporting that "About 500 Mounties who were working on organized crime investigations have been moved to national security and terrorism cases, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Thursday." What a farce that is. Every time a police task force finds organized crime, the government cuts back the task force.
CSIS does not need more money they need less money and more accountability. Spending tax dollars trying to bribe drug addicts into committing terrorist acts is a misappropriation of tax revenue. The John Nuttall entrapment case was a colossal waste of money. Put that money back into the Gang Task force and stop trying to bribe drug addicts into committing terrorist acts.
from last count we had more people killed by criminals (organized crime) in Canada, than by terrorists, because to date there haven't been any. (the ones Harper considered terrorists I considered mentally ill). its about time the RCMP got with the agenda and got on with the job of dealing with organized crime. they are a greater danger to our country than some ISIS kid on a truck in the middle east.
ReplyDeleteEAF, I do not use terms lightly, but you must have a type of selectivity disorder to forget Warrant Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo.
ReplyDeleteISIL took credit for those murders (http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/isis-takes-credit-for-inspiring-terrorist-attacks-that-killed-two-canadian-soldiers).
One could just as easily make reference to selectivity for all those who refuse to recognize the documented reality of Operation Northwoods.
DeleteISIS took credit? Just like ISIS claimed this fake photo was a picture of one of the suicide bombers in Paris: http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/paris-attacks-canadian-sikh-selfie-photoshop-1.3320327
ISIS will take credit for anything they can. In my personal opinion the murder of the two men you named, they were murdered by men who were mentally ill. I consider their utterings no different from mentally ill people who say: the devil made me do it; the voices told me to do it; Jesus/God told me to kill them; etc. Just because some one says Allah told them to kill, doesn't mean Allah is speaking to them. Its easy to blame things on alleged terrorists because then we don't have to look any deeper.
ReplyDeleteA blogger, Juan Cole, referred to an interesting study in the U.S.A. fROM 2005 TO 2025 the had 70 "terrorist attacks" in the U.S.A. Of those 70, 22 were by "muslim extremists". 58 were by the same old white guys from militia groups, KKK types, gun lovers, etc. From this study I would conclude those most dangerous are the white "Christian" guys.
Approx. 84 people were killed by Distracting drivers last year in B.C. 86 were killed by drunk drivers. Number killed by terrorists: ZERO.
We don't have a lot of guns in this country so we don't have a lot of mass shootings in this country.
We have a lot of RCMP with a lot of money to fight terrorism. No terrorists, go create them. In the federal government, if a dept. does not spend its money they have to turn it back to T.B. and the next year they might not get as much. So if you're into empire building, hello RCMP/CISIS, you spend your money, one way or another.
Obviously 2005 TO 2025 is a typo. Although Trailrunner wants to keep running interference for the CIA I'm not prepared to entertain that kind of nonsense. The general public's refusal to deal with the documented reality of Operation Northwoods is the biggest insanity we now face. By far the large majority of people just want the dirty laundry and have no interest whatsoever in the blatant acts of treason the CIA is consistently involved with.
DeleteBill Tieleman reported that “James Cromitie (was) a low-level ex-drug dealer who converted to Islam. A well-paid FBI informant befriended the Walmart worker and promised him $250,000 and a new BMW car to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York.”
That is the problem we now have to deal with. Taking police and money away from fighting organized crime and wasting it on turning drug addicts into terrorists is the ultimate neocon we now face. It perpetuates what Catherine Austin Fitts refers to as the Parasite Economy which is bleeding taxpayers dry. Iran Contra never stopped.
oh you are so correct. I meant 2015. another reason to proof read.
DeleteEAF, I think you would be very surprised at the number of guns in Canada.
DeleteAlso, the report posted on this blog a couple times regarding gun violence clearly proves there is no connection between gun ownership rates and violence rates - even if you do not want to believe it.
Seeing as though you are blaming drivers, perhaps you would advocate for automobile bans as enthusiastically (or much more so considering their involvement in actual deaths!) as you do for that of guns.
Logic and reason do dictate that not to be self-contradictory, you need to.
Or admit you are wrong about preconceived prejudiced notions regarding firearms.
Nutterhall and his GF carefully considered the fall out if they killed too many children. They did not want to make other muslims unhappy with too many child deaths (like that could happen).....after serious consideration, they went and planted the bombs anyway.
ReplyDeleteneither should see the light of day ever again.
As a canadian you are way more likely to be killed by a moose than a terrorist. Had they not been coaxed paid and intimidated along the way and had they not been provided the explosives, the plan would have never been thought up and the bombs don't exist. They are constantly told that "mr big" won't be happy or wants it this way and such, then are provided with c4, i'm guessing they were probably scared what would happen to them if they decided not to. They were never asked if they wanted to back out and were intimidated whenever they questioned the plan. They took advantage of a couple drug addicts and set them up to look like terrorists. The reason the were brought to the attention of the rcmp/csis was because they ran into a mosque and started loudly asking for someone to find them an ak-47. So obviously these people were not smart enough to come up with an elaborite plan, nor did they have connections to obtain weapons. These are the types of things the gov't is spending our money on, praying on vulnerable citizens to create fear so they can funnel more money into taking away our privacy and covering up real issues from the public.
ReplyDeleteThat is not the reason they were discovered. They did not walk into a mosque asking for an AK-47. That is a bold faced lie. The rest of it is accurate though.
