McKenna Advises Liberals To Reconsider Missile Defence

Posted on Tuesday, October 17 at 09:39 by rearguard
Trading relationship at stake, McKenna warns "We must never forget that another 9/11, or a major event of a similar nature that resulted from a laxness with respect to Canadian security, would have a profound impact on trade between the two countries and, consequently, our national wealth," McKenna writes. The rest of Frank McKenna's calculated fear mongering may be read here http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/10/16/mckenna-security.html

    Frank McKenna, the former Canadian ambassador to the United States has just supplied us with an example of treasonous behaviour(s)

    "It certainly would be timely in view of the escalating threat around the world for us to have this dialogue," McKenna told CBC News.”

    And from whom does this “escalating threat” emerge?
    From none other that the very country McKenna wishes us to join forces with, that’s who!

    I wonder by how much his numbered account swelled,
    or what other payoff he is receiving?

    Another bought and paid for quisling now attempts to give us "advice".

    It is now blatantly obvious, the US regime and their allies are no friends of Canada.

    If they were, they would not be actively trying to destroy us from within.

    People so quickly forget that before he became Ambassador, McKenna was associated with the Carlyle Group which is basically an organization of well-known political figures include George Bush, Sr., with extensive holding in the U.S. aerospace, telecommunications, defence, and homeland security industries. If the media was doing its job McKenna's comments would be treated as corporate propaganda by the corporations that would profit from the business. It is unclear at the moment how many boards he now sits on because he gave up his directorships to become Ambassador.

    Mr. McKenna's comments should not be taken any more seriously than anyone else who is using his celebrity status to promote his own economic self-interest.

    Very good, it's that type of commentary that is needed from our major media outlets.

    >>"We must never forget that another 9/11, or a major event of a similar nature that resulted from a laxness with respect to Canadian security, would have a profound impact on trade between the two countries and, consequently, our national wealth," McKenna writes.

    THEY/HE must never forget that 9/11 was not a result of "a laxness" in Canadian security, no matter which "conspiracy theory" one subscribes to. Neither is it relevant to the issue of a missile defense shield, which I might add is an impossible dream. It is quite blatant fear mongering.

    Innes, that was an informative post, thanks!

    "If the media was doing its job McKenna's comments would be treated as corporate propaganda by the corporations that would profit from the business."

    Actually the media is doing it's job in the same way that McKenna is doing his. The corporate media outlets are paid by their sponsors to promote whatever it is that they want them to promote, and much of their revenue comes from the same corporations that want to see tax payers blow their hard earned cash funding their missile "pile of crap" system.

    I swear to God that people need to start dying. How far down the road of tyranny do we have to be before people say, "Gee, things kind of suck?" I keep trying to think at what stage did the German people wake up and think that burning Jews was not such a good idea, opps, they didn't and neither will we. At what point do you say you have had enough of assholes telling you what to do and fight back? Elect a CAP member? Good luck. Write letters? Hello? Blood will need to be spilled before things change.

    You are right that blood may be spilled but I don't think that it "needs" to be. There is always another way. Remember Ghandi?

    Do you really think the Media is going to write about it?
    He was Chairman of the Board of CanWest Global, a media consoritum which owns Global TV (Canada) and the Toronto-based National Post (Canada), the major competitor to the Globe & Mail (Canada). That newspaper was purchased from Conrad Black.

    Yes, I do remember Ghandi.

    And if I recall rightly several of his followers had their blood shed by the British and their willing consorts.

    No one said that the blood had to belong to the Oppressor Class.

    Very well but I was speaking of the philosophy, not actual occurances of violence.
    "Is Perfection Possible?
    Perfect non-violence is impossible so long as we exist physically, for we would want some space at least to occupy. Perfect non-violence whilst you are inhabiting the body is only a theory like Euclid’s point or straight line, but we have to endeavor every moment of our lives.".

    In the quote you gave, Ghandi himself said that the philosophy is impossible.

    besides, what exactly is Ghandi refering to when he states that "Perfect non-violence is impossible so long as we exist physically, for we would want some space at least to occupy"?

    Is he implying that even such basic acts as walking and breathing are violent because they disrupt the air?

    If so, then I do not subscribe to that particular point of view.
