OTTAWA CEMENTS U.S. HEGEMONY OVER CANADA - 9/11 THE PRETEXT
by Ken Fernandez , B.C.L, Ll.B., President of the Quebec Wing of the Canadian Action Party and CAP candidate St Laurent-Cartierville

“If you tell a lie long enough, eventually it will be believed as truth... the greater the lie, the more likely people will believe it” - Adolf Hitler

"But what is one to say of an act of destructive ferocity so absurd as to be incomprehensible, inexplicable almost unthinkable; In fact mad? Madness alone is truly terrifying" - Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent, London, 1907.

As the fourth anniversary of 9/11 approached in the year 2005, many of us were still wondering what precisely happened on that terrifyng day. What is certain, is that the official story, the “party line” emanating from Washington, and faithfully repeated by Ottawa, has been glibly trotted out in the complete absence of any shred of supporting proof, while the overwhelming body of evidence pointing to the tragic events of 9/11 as having been carefully orchestrated by what some consider to be the most powerful people in the world, have been entirely ignored, and those who [attempt to]bring it to light, are either ignored in the cacaphony of hysteria and deception, or are branded “conspiracy theorists”.

OTTAWA CEMENTS U.S. HEGEMONY OVER CANADA - 9/11 THE PRETEXT - WILL CANADIANS BE ABDUCTED AND TORTURED BY U.S. OFFICIALS?
Very troubling is the fact that the Government of Canada has been cementing US control over Canada and Canadians under the pretext of the "war on terror". Most recently, it would seem that the U.S. got Canada to agree to U.S. demands that Canadians branded "potential terrorists" are to be barred from the right to fly, a right guaranteed under s.6 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of the Canadian Constitution. If the U.S. precedent is anything to draw from, what the U.S. government got from its henchmen in Ottawa, is a ban against travelling levelled at any Canadian who expresses concerns and reservations over the U.S. government's agenda. Several Green Party USA editions of its e-mail bulletin report that such has been the fate of senior Green party USA officials, who were listed as potential terrorists and/or terrorist sympathizers, and therefore barred from flying both internally, and out of the country. Thus, democratic dissent, a right that has long been recognized, and one enshrined in the Constitution of Canada, will, be severely curtailed if Justice Minister Irwin Cotler has his way, via entirely arbitrary and secretive decisions made by a government - presumably that based in Washington - for which a handful of front-people based in Ottawa, masquerade as ministers. Since Ottawa had gone so far as to black out pages from a report compiled by its own External Affairs department concerning the prospect of Canadians being abducted via "renditions" (truly Orwellian newspeak- the proper English word is kidnap) by Bush's agents, we should be very seriously concerned about the "no fly" list being used to compile names of possible Canadian abductees.

The U.S. president intimated that such was possible, inasmuch as he stated that Canadians should be sure that the U.S. will do whatever it sees fit in order to protect its integrity against terrorists. In that light, Canadians would do well to remember that the current regime in Washington believes strongly in "pre-emptive strikes" (which could explain why the administration in Ottawa blacked out External Affairs' above-mentioned report, as noted by the Montreal Gazette), while their own elected officials are determined to prove their loyal commitment to the "war on terror"

These measures come on the heels of "anti-terrorism legislation" by which the police can conduct searches and seizures of a person's property at will and without a warrant, can arrest and detain a person on suspicion of terrorism, and that person's defence counsel cannot even see, much less test, the evidence presented by the secret services, and martial law could be imposed at the will of a handful of ministers. Additionally, U.S. forces have been permitted to land and operate within Canada without having to seek the Canadian government's prior permission - and can operate "near the border" Incidentally, our biggest population centres are near the border.

Anyone familiar with Ottawa would know that such a measure could not possibly have emanated from the Liberal ADMINISTRATION. One is hard pressed to call it a government.

To illustrate the point, the John Manley's Task Force on still further integration [of Canada and Mexico and the USA ] which was launched amid considerable fanfare in the spring of this year, was unveiled the day after Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, announced the death of the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) by which the US and its concerns would have had untrammelled access to the entire continent's resources. The timing of the launch of the task force, and its goals - the dismantling of the borders, the adoption of US immigration laws, as well as its foreign and defence policies, the latter under the aegis of the U.S. Northern Command (NORCOM), and greater pursuit of free trade (brainchild of Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor, Richard Allen) - could not have come at a better time for the U.S. as Venezuela's announcement signalled a threat to U.S. dominance over its, and by extension, Latin America's considerable riches which have long been coveted by various U.S. corporate entities whose directors have been scions of Washington's political elite. Venezuela's clear indication that it will not accept the subversion of its national interests in favour of a foreign power, and the coterie of multi-national corporations that drive that country's agenda, however, meant that Washington must be sure of a reliable client state ready to ply it with oil even at the expense of the great majority of its citizens.

The declaration made by Manley et al., gave the pantheon of nations to understand that the U.S. would be assured [control over] Canada's wealth of strategic resources, especially oil, courtesy of an entirely compliant Canadian government determined to show the entire world the degree to which it is committed to Canada's vassalage. Indeed, Canadians have only to go to the gas pumps to see this reality.

In a similar vein, this author personally witnessed Janet Bax, Director for Emergency Planning, Government of Canada, deliver a speech to the Universite du Quebec a Montreal's (UQAM's) Chaire Raoul Dandurand (a "think tank" devoted to promoting the U.S.' absorption of Canada) in which she stated that the then Minister John Manley who had set up a task force along with Tom Ridge, reported to the latter on a regular basis, while the Sollicitor General's department shares information with Ridge's Homeland Security on a daily basis. This is one among many examples of the "Liberal" Government of Canada consistently carrying out orders from its U.S. counterpart, inspite of the fact that the orders in question are eroding the nation to the point where its dissipation has been set in motion in a secretive and underhanded way.

GOVERNMENT OF CANADA'S COMPLICITY IN 9/11
It is interesting to note that shortly after 9/11, Raymond Chretien, Jean Chretien's nephew, who, at the time was ambassador to the U.S., advocated the physical removal of the border, a measure which is now being instituted, as the Canadian government acts to make "North America" a "seamless" body. The fact that the Canadian government should be so complicit in undermining Canada's sovereignty and national security,is shocking in and of itself.

Very disturbing is the fact that close examination of the facts surrounding the events of 9/11 show that on September 11th, there were "excercises" which entailed planes flying into buildings. Given the scope and magnitude of those excercises, they had to have been held under NORAD's auspices. As Canada is a partner, albeit a junior one, its government had to have been informed of these excercises ahead of time. This is all the more since the deputy head of NORAD at that time, was, according to Paul Martin, a Canadian. (The Prime Minister made this statement during the course of an interview with Peter Mansbridge prior to the last federal elections of 2004).

Equally distrubing is evidence of Canadian complicity in the subsequent invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. This information can be found from Canada's links to the shadowy Carlyle Group, in which the Bush and Bin Laden families, are, in fact, business associates. It is equally well established that the said company is heavily involved in activities related to armaments and violence, as well as "data compilation, collation, and collection" (which looks remarkably like spying), as well as communications. What is less well known is Canada's involvement in the Carlyle Group. Not only has the Government of Canada invested very large sums of our money in the Carlyle Group via the Canada Pension Plan, according to Press for Conversion (a very well-researched magazine issued by the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade), but curiously,Frank McKenna, who was recently appointed Canada's ambassador to Washington, was on the board of directors of Carlyle Group. Moreover, there are reports to the effect that the "Liberal" Government of Canada made the appointment shortly after McKenna played a game of golf with Former CIA Director and U.S president, George Bush. Canadians should not wonder at the sad spectacle of the "Liberal" government advancing the U.S. (Carlyle Group's?) government's strategic interests at the expense of their own nation. The business interests held by the "Canadian political elite" are convergent with those of their U.S. counterparts, but entirely antithetical to those of the nation, and the vast majority of its people.
