Democracy News

How honourable it must be today to be able to walk like an Egyptian! The people of Egypt just gave the world a lesson in how to make a government listen! Not just any government, but a torturous tyrant that had the backing of the US military industrial complex who's bosses are the international bankers and their corporate fascist brothers. This should show us all what can happen when a people can gather together in great numbers and peacefully shut down a whole country.

There can be little to no accountability to citizens by provincial or federal politicians unless we, the people, awaken from the BIG Lie that has been perpetrated by the media, the corporations and the oligarcy of political parties. The BIG Lie is that the institutional design of our parliamentary system is a democracy. The truth is that what we have is NOT a democracy.

Short of murder, what instruments do democratic populations possess when the rule of law is fractured and when - as in British Columbia - "all the forces constitutionally constructed to protect the reasonable interests of the population have been subverted, suborned, bought, overthrown".

The Omar Khadr "trial" in Guantanamo Prison and the "trial" of Basi, Virk, and Basi in B.C. Supreme Court have disturbing similarities. Both point to organized crime operating at the highest political levels,

Consistently, throughout the BC Rail Scandal pre-trial and the aborted trial process, the Mainstream Press and Media avoided certain facts and conclusions like the plague.  The trial over - the pattern continues.

Across nations of the West democratic structures are being undermined to provide greater ruling power for private corporations.  Attempts at reform are brutally repressed.  Growing instability and repression point to an inevitable future of ... armed revolution.

The BC Rail Scandal trial of Dave Basi, Bob Virk, and Aneal Basi continues - the second prosecution witness Brian Kenning on the stand.  The days of cross-examination, so far, suggest more may be being clouded than is being made clear about that highly dubious transfer of the public asset to private, Texas head-quartered CNR.

Across the Western World a deregulated lawlessness prevails.  The BC Rail Scandal criminal case may be playing out as a part of "The New Lawlessness".

The facts reported in the letter below, proven by the evidence I have provided links to, prove that Canada is no longer a democracy but has been taken over by a megacorporation that has taken over our courts, provincial and federal governments, law enforcement, etc...in Canada to serve their private and financial interests. Initially the facts reported in this letter may not seem important to you but once you have read the entire letter and reviewed the evidence I have provided you will clearly see that this information is extremely important to all Canadians, important enough that CGI tried to have me unlawfully wrongfully committed for trying to make this evidence public in 2006, as the evidence I have provided proves. Also very important to know is that the architect of the SPP, Tom d’Aquino, is on the Board of directors of this megacorporation. Information is power and the evidence proves that Canadians need to be very concerned that the megacorporation CGI now has access to and power over all of theirs and is using it to serve their private and financial interests against Canadians.  

The administration of justice in B.C. has been shaken to its roots in a BC Rail Scandal pre-trial process marked by delay, apparent obstruction, erasure of disclosure materials by government, the de facto refusal to release search warrants, juggling of judges ... and more.  May 3 is the day the trial will begin.

 At the end of the more than two-and-one-half-hour session, the group decided it would continue meeting as a kind of “citizens’ assembly,” possibly every two weeks until the next election at least.

Almost 100 people gathered inside a Wolfville hall January 23 to express their concerns about the Harper government’s prorogation of Parliament. Billed as a public discussion and “speak out for democracy,” the session was designed to allow all citizens, sitting in a circle, to share their concerns and offer suggestions for change.

 Co-organizer Janet Eaton said the protest wasn’t just about proroguation, but to set in context “what’s been happening for the last four years.”

In the 60s we were a few short steps away from the dream of democratic peace and prosperity our ancestors had fought for for centuries - and here we are as the first decade of the 21st century stumbles to an end on the edge of the abyss with nothing but grim in sight as chaos and turmoil threaten from all sides -

Failing democracy, globally, (and in Canada) parallels and connects with the potential environmental collapse of the planet.

Honduras recently began a move towards a real and effective democracy.  The military – trained and equipped by the U.S.A. – stopped it…in order to protect the rapacious, oppressive, so-called “democracy” in place.

The U.S. president has muttered…things…and the coup regime remains because U.S. power in the world cannot have “Bolivarian (peaceful) revolutions” in Latin America delivering real democracy and a just redistribution of wealth, taking away the right to destroy people by Capitalist corporations.

 The prospect of an ever-declining voter turnout is scaring the shit out of most of the elites that have managed to make a damn good living by becoming "career politicians".
