I was once one of those who... 'Guess what I read today...' people but I woke up. If you 'research' enough, step out of the box and look inside.. you can NEVER go back in. As you look inside you see the real agenda. After 9/11 the USA 'planned' to take our seven countries in five years. (change regimes). After Libya they went after Syria and Russia stepped in.. This put a halt to things.. temporarily. Ukraine was another deal.. Earlier this year, BRICS was introduced to fool with the US$ in trading. If you look back at when ALL this violence really began to take off.. THAT'S the start.. MH17, within seconds was 'reported' that Russia fired the missile... LIES.. Now that coverage is gone. We saw all the 'drama' from that disappear. Then we read about President Assad and his Chemical weapons against the people.. Another Lie.. Once found out, that disappeared. Enter ISIS.. ISIS=Alcaida (trained, financed, weaponized and STILL paid for by the USA) We weren't SCARED anymore and onto their LIES (well most of us) so we had to introduce Eboli. Are you scared yet? The beheadings began with media posting photoshopped images.. ISIS taking pockshots in various locations of interests including WHAT? Syria??? Strange they never attacked Israel or Turkey isn't it? So here we are once again.. in Syria for that illegal regime change attempt under the guise of ISIS. Really?<br />Do you notice with the US$ not looking really pretty it's imperative they get that One World Order going and fast. I read postings in Canadian news articles and the Canadian SHEEP are still grazing quietly in fear.. the media is working. Don't dare to tell a Canadian that we shouldn't be there.. omg.. you will be a TROLL. How sad we are as a country of ignorant 'slaves.' The Elite knew they had to put a candle under Canada's butt for this one. Now the genocide and bloodshed of innocent people can be on Canada's hands AGAIN (since the Indian genocide in B.C.) plus more freedoms have to be gone in Canada too.. Bottom line.. if the PEOPLE don't wake up.. and we are nearly out of time..our children/grandchildren are doomed for complete slavery. Period.

But what they are doing is the favourite tactic of every desperate right-wing government and tin pot dictatorship. Building up a straw man and then claiming that only they can demolish it. And yes, it's clear that some Canadians have been programmed into thinking like Americans did right after 911. Even though what happened is no 911, and we risk making all the same mistakes of the U.S. War on Terror.

I realize it was a shocking event, but there is no reason to panic, and after all this time they must realize that Harper is shamelessly exploiting their fears.

Amongst the usual there is a blogger from Alabama, Legal Schnauzer,, Roger Schuler. Last year he was the only journalist in jail for reporting, in the western hemisphere. Yes in Alabama, in jail for blogging about corruption in Alabama. He was beaten, arrested, spent 5 months in jail, got out, recovered, and is once again writing. <br /><br />Since he got out of jail, some of those he wrote about have been arrested and are awaiting trial. <br /><br />. <br /><br />So bloggers do report news. They can be attacked by the system. They can be set free. They can make a difference. <br /><br />Some may say Mr. Shuler is "nuts". But you can be "nuts" and be telling the truth at the same time. I guess his political enemies forgot that part. What is so frightening about this all, is he was simply a man who started writing after being fired for writing his opinion. With the laws harper and his cons are proposing, it could happen in Canada and in a much more sinister manner than it did in Alabama.

All of them delivered by the con government of Stephen harper. <br /><br />These two incidents, which are truly terrible, are just excuses for p.m. "lets go to war and kill em all" harper to ram through legislation which is a grave attack on our democracy. <br /><br />Wanted to "protect" CSIS "sources". Right that ought to be really good. We know some of those sources are tortured to obtain information. we know it comes from other countries, who may have agendas which have nothing to do with protecting our country. No this is just a method for Stephen harper and his cons to reduce our democracy so they can stay in government. With the laws they want to pass, we who comment on this blog could win up being arrested. We too could be classified as terrorists, and they got the information from "their source" who they won't reveal. Just doesn't it make you feel all warm and safe?????<br /><br />Removing our citizen ship because we have dual citizenship? That could get rid of more than a few troublesome bloggers and their "followers". With the proposed legislation, it actually won't be hard to "work up a case' against any outspoken Canadian citizens. This will put us in lock step with China.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65788566591886344682014-10-27T22:26:22.807-04:002014-10-27T22:26:22.807-04:00Thanks for calling it in a way that most Canadians...Thanks for calling it in a way that most Canadians will never hear it.

A whole program analyzing the subject Sunday night with Michael Enright on CBC and not one mention of the root causes - the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Can we really compare what happened in Ottawa, as tragic as it was for our soldier, to what it must be like to have been in Baghdad or Tripoli. Must be a psychological term for trying to inflate your own problems to make you justify the terrible things you have done to others. Could explain the reaction in the US.

The shootings of 3 mounties in New Brunswick this year was equally as tragic and terrifying for those involved but, it was framed in an entirely different manner by the fearless leader and the word terrorism was not brought into the equation:<br />Prime Minister Stephen Harper commented on the shootings Thursday morning. <br /><br />"On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our deepest condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of those affected by this tragedy. We also offer our prayers for the speedy recovery of those injured," Harper said in a statement.<br /><br />Once harper makes a statement he rarely backs down. Imagine the crow he would have to eat if forced to admit this event wasn't what he hoped it was. It was not an intricate ISIS plot against the Canadian parliament,it was a lone, desperate individual, failed by a health care system that is under resourced to deal with the real epidemic of mental illness. A country led by an individual who sees those desperate acts as criminal. Shame on us for immediately swallowing harper's narrative. bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-92183297999435736402014-10-27T08:04:42.786-04:002014-10-27T08:04:42.786-04:00Good morning, Simon..........so Harper is the Lord...Good morning, Simon..........so Harper is the Lord and we are the flies????????
