BOURQUE NEWSWATCH - TOMORROW'S NEWS NOW !

OTTAWA TERRORIST LINK

Bourque has learned that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's resident spy agency, is closely monitoring "as many as five" Ottawa taxi drivers of Middle Eastern origin who are alleged to have been trained in Moscow at Patrice Lumumba college or elsewhere in Russia. According to sources familiar with the security intelligence community and municipal government operations, various Ottawa emergency measures organizations have been briefed, as has the US Embassy. The precise nature of CSIS concerns remains top secret, though a source on Parliament Hill familiar with international security and non-traditional security threats told Bourque that " the new security paradigm will include asymmetrical threats to personal well-being. People will not be threatened by ABMs or war, the new threats will come through suitcase bombs in airports, attacks on tourist sites and release of biochemical/biological agents into densely populated areas or water sources."

3:53 PM Gabrielle Taylor bookmark

Fortress or Freedom?

A new breed of American warrior is lining up to fight the war to eliminate evil in the world. This warrior is not pledged to fight for a flag, but to fight for a system that will provide freedom and liberty for every one, every where. These warriors are sophisticated and educated and they know the world better than any other generation. They will not be satisfied to protect America by use of oppression, terrorism, and totalitarianism like the anti-communism cold warriors. Because, they understand the best way to secure the safety of freedom is to free the world.

Their weapons will be targeted directly at the systems that perpetuate poverty, oppression, and intolerance. There enemy is no single government or ideology. Their battles will be unconventional and not only fought in the air, sea, and land, but will also reach every congress, boardroom, university, temple and church where freedom is not priority one. Their tactics and strategies will be unprecedented as the world is invaded by the forces of freedom. The very strongholds of evil will be dismantled from within as those people within begin to understand that freedom is no longer merely an American slogan to hide the truth of greed and over indulgence. But, Freedom and Democracy, those American ideals, will become the absolute goal of this new breed of warrior because they know that this is the only way America will every be truly safe.

Americans are at rare inflection point in history where the united drive of all Americans can be focused on a single goal. A time when Americans are willing to put aside more trivial pursuits and work together for a single goal. It is time to choose whether the goal will be an America Fortress continuously under attack by a world of people who are denied freedom or a war ranked by the new breed of American Freedom Fighters, that will not stop until every one, every where is free.

I choose freedom over walls.

Montreal Gazette - Story - canada.com network - The Canadian connection

U.S. political leaders said yesterday that countries that harbour terrorists should be held partially responsible for what the terrorists do.

The evidence suggests that includes Canada.

[...]

Critics warned the Ressam case exposed Canada's susceptibility to terrorist activity. How could both men remain in Quebec despite the fact they were turned down as refugees? How did intelligence agents lose track of Ressam after linking him to a ring of Islamic holy warriors?

Quebec (the province theoretically in Canada in which these attacks were apparently at least partly staged) is the only Canadian province to run its own immigration, exempt from federal immigration regulation. Quebec politicians repeatedly inform the rest of Canada that Quebec should in fact be its own country. If this is the case, let Quebec bloody take responsibility for this right alongside Canada -- if not by itself.

This had nothing to do with me, I was nowhere near, and yet I feel as though I personally escaped death, and goddamnit, it's great to be alive. I feel as though it could have been me, or anybody I knew, that the utter randomness of it could have reached out and engulfed anything at all -- and yet it didn't, I'm still here, you're still here, have some wine!
