Eventually, the masses will realize that their only hope for freedom, now that "constant vigilance" is a moot point, will come through
mass civil disobedience. Of course this also means that those masses will have to be committed to "Live free or die."
What are our chances of that happening? Without first educating those masses of the rights and freedoms to which they are
lawfully entitled, the chances are slightly less than zero.
"My people will perish for want of knowledge."
Rather than continuing to act as any kind of martyr for all (tried, it didn't work), which will only result in the majority of those ignorant masses scoffing at such foolishness, spend energies on educating those masses. I would rather have to deal with that task than attempting to take on the Beast all on my own, in spite of any inner desires
to re-write the "David vs Goliath" story.
Those of us who possess knowledge have a responsibility to pass it on to all others. Many will not listen, but for those who will, you must be prepared to speak
volumes to them and to motivate them to take up the same task.
"There are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free."

his gentle wife Elaine, a former dentist in N.H..
Ask yourself, does this man sound violent? Does he need to cost you
tax dollars for refusing to pay a "voluntary" Federal Personal Income tax,
and is it really VOLUNTARY, if the abusive "Federal Mafia"

Governance by the People is Democracy.

Democracy is the Rule of Common Law - which is the Law of the People, by the People and for the People and is made by the unanimous Judgments of the congregations of 12 Freemen as Jurors, who ask �So help me, God� for them to administer Justice. Justice is �the protection of rights and the punishment of wrongs�.
Bureaucracy is the Rule of Statute Law � which is the Law made by Parliaments, that have no Jurisdiction over the People, and is administered by stipendiary Magistrates and Judges.
When People Rule in the Courts, there is Trial by Jury, which is �the Palladium of Liberty�, �the Bulwark of Freedom�, and �the only Defense against Tyranny�. A Court has no Jurisdiction to proceed summarily (ie: without a Jury) unless first obtaining the clear and unequivocal consent of both parties to do so � otherwise, any awards, doings and proceedings are not to be drawn into consequence or example, ie: any such Judgments are illegal and void.

INTRODUCTION
Under Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491, the legislature does not have the power to abrogate the Citizen's Right to travel upon the public roads by passing legislation forcing the citizen to waive his Right and convert that Right into a privilege. Furthermore, it was long since established that this "privilege" has been defined as applying only to those who are "conducting business in the streets" or "operating for-hire vehicles." The legislature has attempted (by legislative fiat) to deprive the Citizen of his Right to use the roads in the ordinary course of life and business, without affording the Citizen the safeguard of due process of law. This has been accomplished under supposed powers of regulation. "In addition to the requirement that regulations governing the use of the highways must not be violative of constitutional guarantees, the prime essentials of such regulation are reasonableness, impartiality, and definiteness or certainty," 25 Am.Jur. (1st) Highways, Sect. 260. "Moreover, a distinction must be observed between the regulation of an activity which may be engaged in as a matter of right and one carried on by government sufferance of permission."

NEW YORK (AP) � Comcast Corp. actively interferes with attempts by some of its high-speed Internet subscribers to share files online, a move that runs counter to the tradition of treating all types of Net traffic equally.

MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE IS FRAUD:
FRAUDULENT LOAN CONTRACTS:
Under COMMON LAW, there are 8 essential elements for the creation of a contract, ie: (1) offer; (2) acceptance; (3) sufficient consideration; (4) intention to enter legal relations; (5) capacity to contract; (6) legality of purpose; (7) genuine consent; and (8) certainty of terms.

"They say they want more religion in the public square, but it's clear they mean only their religion."
Barry W. Lynn, executive director,Americans United for Separation of Churchand State
(AP) A Hindu clergyman made history Thursday by offering the U.S. Senate's morning prayer, but only after police officers removed three shouting protesters from the visitors' gallery. Rajan Zed, director of interfaith relations at a Hindu temple, gave the brief prayer that opens each day's Senate session. As he stood at the chamber's podium in a bright orange and burgundy robe, two women and a man began shouting "this is an abomination" and other complaints from the gallery. Police officers quickly arrested them and charged them with disrupting Congress, a misdemeanor. The male protester told an Associated Press reporter, "we are Christians and patriots" before police handcuffed them and led them away. For several days, the Mississippi-based American Family Association has urged its members to object to the prayer because Zed would be "seeking the invocation of a non-monotheistic god."

"The media are less a window on reality than a stage on which officials and journalists perform self-scripted, self-serving fictions."
Paul Weaver wrote that in a New York Times article called "Selling the Story" more than a dozen years ago. [full story] |

| Dec 8, 2006 | Democracy Denied on Same-sex Marriage Vote
The NDP and Bloc Quebecois parties have excluded the public from the same-sex marriage debate by insisting their MPs vote along party lines. Liberal leader St�phane Dion has begrudgingly allowed a free vote, although making the claim that same-sex marriage is a �fundamental� right under the Charter of Rights. He is wrong. The Supreme Court of Canada has never ruled on whether the traditional definition of marriage is unconstitutional. The Ontario Court of Appeal decision on same-sex marriage, which assumed the leadership role among the provincial courts on this issue, is now under a cloud, due to a complaint laid against Chief Justice McMurtry before the Canadian Judicial Council for serious judicial impropriety and the apprehension of bias for his part in that case.

"Many
writers have spoken of intentional plans by certain Elite to thin-out the
world's population; it's a recurring theme among so-called conspiracy
theorists. There are frequent references to "useless eaters", which
includes the bulk of mankind. Most, when hearing of plots to depopulate the
planet, simply say under their breath, "Yeah, right," or more often,
while shaking their head, "You're nuts." But when there is a careful
examination of writings by prominent authors of this century, pieces of the
puzzle certainly do fall into place - pieces which support the contention that
there are certain individuals, if not entire governments, who have implemented
a program of global genocide in an effort to salvage and corner

| Jan 20, 2006 | Kempling Statement on Supreme Court Decision
Kempling Statement on Supreme Court DecisionThe Supreme Court of Canada today refused to hear a freedom of speech case
brought by Quesnel, BC teacher Dr. Chris Kempling in a dispute with the
British Columbia College of Teachers. The case stemmed from letters to the editor written to the Quesnel Cariboo Observer newspaper between 1997 and 2000 questioning the wisdom of promoting the homosexual agenda. Stated Kempling: "This is a victory for the enemies of free speech and a sad day for all Canadians who value the free exchange of ideas in the public square. Everything I have publicly written about homosexuality is backed up by solid research data. I stand by what I have written. People need to remember that I have never been asked to retract any of my public statements, nor has any human rights complaint ever been laid against me. I was simply expressing a
social conservative point of view shared by millions of Canadians. It is my intention to keep on fighting by filing a formal complaint with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. While that won't affect today's court decision it may embarrass Canada into reviewing its alleged commitment to free speech rights for religious minorities. Many people have urged me to write a book about my experience and I will now seriously consider doing that. I have no regrets about what I have done in the past 10 years in defence of children. As U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt once said, 'It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belings to the man who
is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and
blood...and who...if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.' I am a servant of the King of Kings, and there is no such thing as permanent defeat."Chris KemplingClick Here For Print Version

Criminal acts are already illegal. What's more, "hate crime" laws violate the constitutional right to equal protection, create the un-American offense of "thought crime," and abridge the freedoms of speech, religion and association."Hate crime" laws work this way: They add penalties to a criminal sentence if the criminal is also convicted of having a "hateful" intent toward the victim based on the victim's real or perceived group identity.

case after he was disciplined by the board for granting an interview to CBC Radio in December 2003. In the interview, which was conducted by phone on his Christmas vacation, Kempling explained the orientation change therapy services, which he offers as part of his private counseling practice. Kempling, who holds two masters degrees and a doctorate in psychology, is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and a clinical member of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality."It seems to me that it's open season on Christians," stated Kempling. "If I can't discuss the services of my private Christian counseling practice on my own time, where is the freedom of speech that is supposed to be guaranteed by the Charter? The school board presented no evidence whatsoever that anyone from the public had complained about the broadcast. And now I can't even argue my case or present any witnesses to support my claim of discrimination.

"AOL Time-Warner Attempt To Shut Down Free Speech - Censors Alex Jones"By: Jonathan CampbellThis is bad news for free speech, but not to be unexpected from Time-Warner. It was Time-Life, after all, that modified the Zapruder tape of the Kennedy assassination so as to ensure that Americans were certain that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. They are the primary mainstream news outlet that is probably directly controlled by the security apparatus of the US.Info Wars has featured very strong evidence that the Twin Towers were demolished on 9/11/2001 by standard controlled demolition procedures having little to do with the jets hitting it. This analysis is scientifically correct: there was no sagging or buckling of the towers just previous to collapse, and the rubble that fell indicated that the long, reinforced steel beams that should have withstood the airplane intrusion had been turned into shrapnel. The fact that the entire building seemed to collapse all at once (not pancake), and drop absolutely vertically, should have been enough to make people wonder. The security systems of the buildings were turned off for an entire night several days before the planes hit, providing enough time for the charges to be set. The only question is who placed them. WTC7, a building that did not get hit, and had a tiny fire, collapsed in the same way, hours later. There are many, many unanswered questions.The powers-that-be don't like revelations like this, and the kinds of information that Jones has on his websites are likely to make this a test run for whether they can shut down free speech in this way.

THOMAS PAINE SPEAKS FROM THE GRAVE"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. (Britain), with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to tax) but "to bind us in all cases whatsoever," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God."

Judith Miller, a 28-year old veteran of the New York Times has been imprisoned in the USA by a Judge for refusing to divulge her sources of information. This imprisonment is illegal because a Judge has no jurisdiction to imprison anyone without the consent of both parties to an action to be without a Jury. "Magna Carta is now seen as a traditional mandate for trial by jury, justice for all, accountable government and no arbitrary imprisonment" - Magna Carta Monument, Canberra.
The Fully Informed Jury Association's leaflet, "Why did our founding fathers expect citizen Juries to judge our laws as well as the guilt of the individual", includes the story of John Peter Zenger (Zenger's Case 1735) which "is praised in history textbooks as a hallmark of freedom of the press in the United States" because a Jury acquitted the journalist when he was accused of seditious libel for having critized a royal governor of New York.

Charges against Randy Desnoyers are droppedWell Folks its over for now!!
The charges against Randy Desnoyers for trespass were with drawn for lack of evidence.Despite a second trail ordered.
In a surprise move the Crown with drew the charge against Randy and failed to allow the charter challenge to proceed on the notice of trespass.
What does this mean, well it will be pretty tough for the Hamilton Port to use the trespass act to stop Randy from entering the port property.
However its not over till the fat lady sings!!
Randy still seeks to have the higher courts rule on the violation of charter, so a motion is being drafted at this very moment to have a higher court judge rule on that very issue.
As well Randy has requested that the Hamilton Police investigate possible perjury charges against the port witnesses, further that the Hamilton police pass on to the RCMP issues of secret commissions that the port witness admitted to in his testimony.
It is quite clear that the Hamilton Port will stop at nothing , be it by way of misleading the courts on information, or falsifying statements to the police, when will it stop? I know Randy will continue the battle!!
You all will remember the port banned Randy from its property it accused him of criminal behavior but at trail failed to produce any proof of said behavior, Randy insists that this is all about the ports anti-competition behavior, that they just want him gone at what ever cost!! and that since it is a federal marina, these actions are a violation of the charter of rights!!

Letter To Wayne About Common LawDear Peter et al,
I forget who said that when Sovereignty lies with the Parliament you have Tyranny and when it is with the People you have Freedom (roughly quoting, of course)...but that is essentially what it's all about...and that is why it must be made perfectly clear what a Court is. A Court is NOT a Judge.
A Court is constituted by a Judge and a Jury with the Jury judging all the facts and the laws pertaining to that case. The Jury then delivers the verdict and the judgment, directing the Judge to exercise the power of the State to enforce it. This is an ordinary or Common Law Court.
When there is only a Judge (because both parties have given their consent to be without a Jury), it is not any sort of Court but a Tribunal with a Judge doing the job which a Jury would otherwise do.
The Right to Trial by Jury is inalienable and Juries make Common Law while Parliament + Executive make Statute Law ... whereas Judges have no authority to make any Law whatsoever.
Finally, Common Law overrules Statute Law because People have Sovereignty, as said in the first paragraph.
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson.

"It's appalling that this story got out there," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on her way back from Iraq.
What's NOT appalling to Condi is that the US is holding prisoners at Guantanamo under conditions termed "torture" by the Red Cross. What's not appalling to Condi is that prisoners of the Afghan war are held in violation of international law after that conflict has supposedly ended. What is NOT appalling to Condi is that prisoner witnesses have reported several instances of the Koran's desecration.

Infiltrating Bilderberg 2005

The annual secret meeting of the Bilderberg group determines many of the headlines and news developments you will read about in the coming months. But the Establishment media completely black it out. With the exception of half-a-dozen high ranking members of the press who are sworn to secrecy, few have ever heard of the exclusive and secretive group called The Bilderbergers.
Mainstream news organizations boastful about their no-holds barred investigative exploits, have been strangely reluctant to lift the blackout curtain hiding a major event: the Bilderberg group's secret annual meeting for the world's most powerful financiers, industrialists, and political figures.

Current trends and events clearly demonstrate the pharmaceutical drug influence in Health Canada that makes the passing of C 420 absolutely vital to the survival of the natural health product industry in Canada. Right now Big Pharma is actively lobbying the members of parliament to either block C 420 or amend it to include the so-called "3rd category." If the CHFA board of directors think Big Parma is their friend they are incredibly naive.

Medical Editor Turns Activist On Drug Trials Rachel Zimmerman and Robert Tomsho
JEFFREY DRAZEN, editor of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, has prescribed a strong dose of disclosure for the pharmaceutical industry he was once accused of embracing too closely.
This week, Dr. Drazen accused three big pharmaceutical companies of "making a mockery" of a government database designed to provide accessible information about drug trials. He also joined a dozen other medical-journal editors in again warning that they might refuse to publish studies that don't adhere to their disclosure demands. Dr. Drazen has also recently written, and his journal has published, pieces critical of companies suppressing negative information about drug trials.

Morgan adds that with more patients taking more drugs over longer periods, it is vital to the safety of Canadians and the sustainability of our health care system to disseminate unbiased information, monitor the use of prescription drugs and detect both expected and unexpected outcomes.

A California jury found that a multivitamin taken by Kicker Vencill was contaminated with steroid precursors and was responsible for his positive test. The jury ordered Ultimate Nutrition of Farmington, Conn., to pay the damages.
The verdict came Wednesday after a three-week trial. Vencill, 26, has already served nearly all of his two-year suspension from competition.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, most of the governments of Europe established a set of economic policies which became known as mercantilism. Kings, princes and parliaments implemented and vigorously enforced detailed and pervasive controls and regulations over almost every aspect of economic life. Many imports were prohibited, and exports were often subsidized. The state imposed wage, price and production controls. And there were severe penalties for all violations.

The United Nations has been looking to take more and more ground since its inception in 1945. In the last 60 years it has added numerous organizations and commissions, including the World Health Organization, United Nations Environment Programme, UNICEF, and the World Trade Organization. Each of these has its own mandate and agenda. In 2000 at the UN Millennium Summit, the UN underwent what was considered the most significant facelift since its birth. Empowerments included: giving the General Assembly broader powers, giving the Secretary-General additional powers, providing for a "People's Parliament" where the citizens of the world will elect their own representative to its own parliament. It was also given the right to form its own rapid deployment force of 42,000 troops, which was expanded to 75,000 troops at the 2004 G8 meeting in Sea Island, Georgia. Besides being given the right to find its own sources of financing, the UN presented its goals for the 21st Acentury, which include reducing poverty, hunger, HIV/Aids, and child mortality. The annual cost is currently calculated at $50B a year and is expected to increase to $200B by 2015.

The tea, known as Ayahuasca, is made from two plants from the Amazon that produce a chemical (dimethyltryptamine, usually known as DMT) listed by the federal government as a Schedule I controlled substance. Schedule I, on which DMT is listed, along with marijuana and other illicit drugs, is reserved for substances that the government considers to be particularly unsafe and to have no valid medical use.

"By what conceivable warrant can nine lawyers presume to be the authoritative conscience of the Nation?" So asked an incredulous Justice Antonin Scalia in response to the latest outrage by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Five activist justices (not even nine) just imposed their personal social preference on every American voter, state legislator, congressman, and juror. Adding insult to injury, the supremacist five used foreign laws, "international opinion," and even an unratified treaty to rationalize overturning more than 200 years of American law and history.

There is no international referendum on its policies. The UN sets its own standards of conduct and it controls its own judge and jury.

I was struck recently by an article appearing in the NNFA Today magazine, Volume 18, No.11 entitled "International Products Regulation Q&A: What Affect do They Really Have on the U.S.?" While some parts of the article were good, a number of the questions and answers struck a discordant note including the following:
"However, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture official, the United States has never changed its laws or regulations to conform to any standards or guidelines adopted at Codex. He noted further that the United States does not, as a matter of practice, officially accept, accept in part, accept free distribution, or accept standards or guidelines adopted by the Codex Commission. Therefore, it doesn't appear that any changes to U.S. law or regulations would likely occur as a result of any adoption by the Commission of the vitamin and food supplement guidelines."

Somehow, I doubt that he will ever have to share that spotlight with his current successor, the Right Honourable Paul Martin, even if same-sex marriage is codified under Martin's watch.
For one thing, the unconcealable squeamishness on the faces of both Prime Minister Martin and Justice Minister Cotler, when compelled to speak about anything gay and lesbian, is hardly endearing. More important, as Bill C-38 approaches crucial second reading - and probable assent - gay and lesbian

Principled advocacy of the free market requires an understanding of the differences between genuine free enterprise and �state capitalism.� Although the Left frequently exaggerates and overemphasizes the evils of corporate America, proponents of the free market often find themselves in the awkward position of defending the status quo of state capitalism, which is in fact a common adversary of the free marketer and the anti-corporate leftist, even if the latter misdiagnoses the problem and proposes the wrong solutions.Indeed, corporatism, implemented by the state � whether through direct handouts, corporate bailouts, eminent domain, licensing laws, antitrust regulations, or environmental edicts � inflicts great harm on the modern American economy.

Tillsonburg Tobacco BBQ
On April 1, 2005 hundreds of Ontario farmers will escalate their fight against corporate manipulation, political incompetence, and government imposed injustice. Hundreds of bales of tobacco will be removed from the farms and sale barns throughout the tobacco belt and burnt in Tillsonburg Ontario.
These bales of tobacco represent the efforts and industry of hard working, law abiding Ontario farmers, whose assets are being stolen through lawful injustice, incompetence and market manipulation. The farmers� efforts and their tobacco are worthless to all, except greedy government tax hands and their corporate bedmates.
Farmers receive approximately $130 for each tobacco bale, while industry receives approx. $1800 and government tax hands steal approx. $4500 from the farmers� labours. As governments and multi-nationals frolic in the huge waves of profits and ill-gotten gains, Ontario farmers drown in a sea of poverty and red tape.

Supplements Directive Lacks Transparency 5 April 2005 - In a case brought by the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH)) and others in the UK, challenging the European Supplement Directive's restrictive provisions, especially the limitation of allowed ingredients to a short list of mostly synthetic sources of vitamins and minerals, Advocate General Leendert Geelhoed has filed his opinion, coming to the following conclusion:

The Assault on Clergy Has BegunDear Clergy and Leaders:
Religious freedom in Canada is seriously compromised and the assault on Clergy has begun. Today Bishop Fred Henry of Alberta is in the process of being prosecuted for expressing Biblical teachings to his flock. If the government will be so bold as to prosecute a Catholic Bishop it may certainly place you or myself on trial. We must act now to protect religious freedom and preserve the definition of marriage.

Reply from Helke re CODEX dis - information molesHi,
While your warning is important, and I also don't know this person or her website, I need to tell you that the EU Directive, which is the basis for the forthcoming Codex guidelines in every detail, has indeed been made law in Germany as of January last year. Germany has the whole nine yards of Codex's current phase of supplement guidelines as national law. I have the actual statute, in German of course. The enforcement is not systematic as yet, but vitamins in the way we have them are not available except on doctors' prescription. Australia has initiated the Codex guidelines and if you want to know the names of the supplement companies that have stopped manufacturing supplements, you can get them from Dr. Caroyln Dean, president of Friends of Freedom International.

EU Judge Rules Food Supplement Laws 'Invalid' By Geoff Meade, PA Europe Editor, in Brussels
Controversial new European laws controlling the sale of vitamins and other food supplements were declared illegal by a judge today.
The health food rules, due in force in August and affecting thousands of products in British shops, infringe basic EU principles of �legal protection, legal certainty and sound administration�, said an Advocate-General at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

Top UK Newspaper. The State of the World? An authoritative study of the biological relationships vital to maintaining life has found disturbing evidence of man-made degradation. Steve Connor reports 30 March 2005
Planet Earth stands on the cusp of disaster and people should no longer take it for granted that their children and grandchildren will survive in the environmentally degraded world of the 21st century. This is not the doom-laden
talk of green activists but the considered opinion of 1,300 leading scientists from 95 countries who will today publish a detailed assessment of the state of the world at the start of the new millennium.
The report does not make jolly reading. The academics found that two-thirds of the delicately-balanced ecosystems they studied have suffered badly at the hands of man over the past 50 years.

Gomery Inquiry
The Gomery Inquiry has shown that people the Liberal Party of Canada put in positions of trust and their hirelings have committed breaches of public trust and may well have committed serious illegal acts.
There appear to be no third parties or outside influences involved except for those that Liberals in positions of trust contracted with and coerced.
The Liberal Party has failed millions of Canadians who expect accountable, responsive and responsible governance by whichever political party they give enough support to form a government.
Members of the Liberal Party have betrayed the trust of Canadians by dishonouring our government, our Parliament and the very foundations of democracy by failing to meet even rudimentary standards of ethics in governance.
There are no acceptable excuses. This government must resign in shame.

GM food contamination: spinning out of controlOn March 23 the journal Nature reported that between 2001 and 2004, the multinational corporation Syngenta "inadvertently" produced and distributed several hundred tonnes of an unapproved GM corn. However, it now looks as if the figure is closer to 185,000 tons. This GM corn was planted on about 150 square kilometers over four years in the USA. Syngenta officials declined to list the countries that accidentally received the wrong seed. It appears that US authorities have known about this for several months but have kept it secret until Nature let the cat out of the bag. Since then both cyberspace and the media has been humming with the story.

Article in Vancouver newspaper references Dr Carolyn DeanCases show cure may be worse than disease
By Geoff Olson
It's been a strange week in health news. We've all heard about the mix-up in Surrey, where a sleeping patient was picked up and delivered to a morgue. Compounding this oddity, an item in Tuesday's Sun bears the headline "The sound asleep look like the nearly dead: expert." Apparently people whose bodies are shutting down "often sleep more and their breathing can become irregular and shallow." An easy mistake to make. What with their passive-aggressive sleeping patterns, it's a wonder more snoozing seniors aren't wheeled off to the slab hotel. Subtract vital signs like pulse and heartbeat, and there's virtually no difference between the barely breathing and the dearly departed. (Heck, some people even claim to see signs of life in the cold, dead eyes of Stephen Harper.)

"It isn't a stretch to say Big Pharma's fortunes are tethered in part to the Amazon.com sales rank of Evidence of Harm"
It is hard to find a sector that suffered more in 2004 than Big Pharma.
Runaway healthcare costs became an issue in the US election. Seniors surpassed wayward teens as America's biggest drug lawbreakers, crossing over to Canada to get cheaper supplies. In September, Merck withdrew its arthritis drug Vioxx, which spawned lawsuits. Lurking beneath the headlines was Wall Street's worry that Big Pharma's pipeline of new drugs looked dry. The S&P 500 Pharmaceutical index fell 9.5 per cent for the year.

Codex: �A Disaster Waiting to Happen�
By Red Flags Columnist, Judith Hall
Politics can be pretty boring until you�re threatened personally.
Right now, your freedom to make natural health choices is in real danger. The threat has been quietly building, step by step, for several years. The last act of this drama will take place in Rome from July 4 to 9 at a meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, when new worldwide guidelines for dietary supplements will be formally ratified and finalized. New rules are already voluntarily in place in Australia, Denmark, Norway, and Germany, where supplements are regulated as drugs.
What is Codex? It was created in 1963 by two bodies of the United Nations, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, to oversee food safety. What Codex ratifies will have worldwide impact due to globalization and interlocking treaties the World Trade Organization, the NAFTA and GATT agreements. Ironically, all this is called �harmonization.� Any nation including the United States and Canada which doesn�t conform is liable to trade sanctions that could be crippling to its economy. So the final curtain of this dark drama will be nation after nation bowing to the new regulations rather than risk losing megabucks. After all, the dietary supplement industry is small change only $18 billion per year in the U.S. Not worth fighting for.

Hello Sepp,
Here are my questions:
1. What advantages do you think herbal medicines have over traditional pharmaceutical medicines?
2. If herbs are natural, are they safe?
3. Many people say that herbal medicines are not safe because the FDA does not regulate them. How do you feel about that?
4. Would you advise someone to pursue a career in herbal medicine? Why or why not?
5. Do you know of a bad experience with herbal medicines? What happened?
6. Since sometimes herbs can be dangerous to a people, why are they not fully aware (by the government, doctor, etc)?
7. If both allopathic medicine and herbal remedies have side affects, which one do you think is better and safer?

Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food Hippocrates (460-377 BC)
We might say that the debate of what is food and what is medicine goes back more than two thousand years, to Hippocrates, the Greek physician who is also known as the father of modern scientific medicine.
In the early 1960s, pharmaceutical medicines were in the headlines with a tragic development. Mothers who had taken thalidomide during pregnancy gave birth to children with severe deformities, while contraceptive pills were being sold without any controls. New pharmaceutical legislation was introduced in Europe in 1965 to prevent such disasters in the future. The European directive regulating what became known as 'medicinal specialties' defined these products in a very wide way in order to catch all possible products that should be subject to mandatory registration.

Garlic preparations, such as capsules containing pure dried garlic powder, are marketed as foodstuffs in another member state. German classification of the supplements as medicines therefore constitutes a disproportionate and unnecessary obstacle to the free movement of goods under EU law, said the Commission.

At a meeting of the Standing Committee on Health, Ms. Wasylycia-Leis profiled their efforts in stating, �We�re talking about three scientists who have been at the forefront of a movement in Canada to ensure that health protection is not just a concept on paper but is practiced in reality. They have been there every step of the way, speaking out whenever there were reasons to be concerned about the drug approval process, the process involving veterinary medicines. They were key to the whole study here, and in the Senate, on bovine growth hormone.�

Trial by Jury IS DemocracyDear Graham,
The whole thing has an unusual feeling to it because the Crown Solicitor's Notice of Motion, scheduled for 8th March, is only a token effort with no real argument in Affidavit form. The mere fact that a Duty Judge instructed the Duty Registrar to allow the case to be file (compared to a previous attempted filing in the Federal Court where a Federal Judge directed the Registrar not to allow filing) gives me the impression that there are some "Judges" with a deep seated element of integrity who actually want the skullduggery brought out into the open.

MEETING ON NATIONAL DAY CARE BY FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL MINISTERS
he federal/provincial and territorial Ministers will be meeting in Vancouver this week on February 11th and 12th to hammer out a plan to implement a national day care program. The Ministers will be deciding the form and content of such a program, which has been described as the most important social program since medicare.
The plan will cost the taxpayers many billions of dollars � much more than the five billion over five years proposed by Prime Minister Paul Martin. The major winners of such a plan will not be children, but rather those pushing for the program � namely the child care advocates who will be guaranteed secure jobs on the government payroll, with steady income and benefits. The other major beneficiary will be the unions who have experienced a marked decline in membership over the years, and a vast army of child care workers brought into their ranks will be a huge benefit to them.

House backs major shift to electronic IDsPublished: February 10, 2005, 5:46 PM PST

Staff Writer, CNET News.com
The U.S. House of Representatives approved on Thursday a sweeping set of rules aimed at forcing states to issue all adults federally approved electronic ID cards, including driver's licenses.
Under the rules, federal employees would reject licenses or identity cards that don't comply, which could curb Americans' access to airplanes, trains, national parks, federal courthouses and other areas controlled by the federal government. The bill was approved by a 261-161 vote.

An analysis of funding of the legal challenges by gay activists reveals that the Canadian taxpayer is footing most of the bill for their legal challenges, while family oriented defenders of marriage are obliged to raise their own funds.
Chief Justice Roy McMurtry of the Ontario Court of Appeal not only decided that traditional matrimonial law in Canada is unconstitutional, he ordered that the federal treasury pay the costs of the homosexual challengers.

I remember a childhood board game, in which a magnet beneath the surface pulled around metal shavings into any form you cared to make. It was fun to create faces, and, as I recall, easy to draw the devil, with his pencil-thin mustache and goatee, and pointed horns on top. And I remember arguing with my father in the late '60s, insisting that money was not the most important thing in life, but that warmth and love and compassion were, and him vehemently disagreeing with me, and shaking his head at what a boob he thought I'd become - a misguided hippie idealist.

False accusations and deceptions, such as the now exposed and still unpunished White House lies [Weapons of Mass Destruction] used to justify an illegal war that has killed over a hundred thousand innocent Iraqi citizens, now trickle down even to the lowest and most petty of bureaucrats as exhibited by minions of the Texas State Police in concert with our RCMP with their laughable was on drugs.

A provision in the German welfare system is forcing out-of-work women to chose between taking jobs in the sex industry or losing their unemployment benefits.
Once one of the most generous systems in Europe, Germany's unemployment program has been reformed to require those out of work to take jobs for which they are qualified, or lose benefits. In the case of women, females below the age of 55 who have been out of work for a year or more must take any available job offered.

"Democracy. Democracy. Democracy" is the cry of the Media - and, typical of the Media, it is a false cry, ie: a deception. Below is an email with proof that the Iraqi Constitution does NOT install Democracy into that country, at all. I have repeatedly said in Australians Courts that "Judges must never be given nor allowed to assume absolute power whereby they can conceal their own incompetence, corruption and treachery." - to which the "Judges" say nothing. The Iraqi Constitution gives absolute power to Judges. It excludes the People from the adminstration of Justice and, therefore, any way of protecting their Rights and making Government accountable.

I did not understand President Bush's inauguration speech. He used the word "freedom" twenty-seven times, but what freedom means to him was not clear. Words can mean different things to different people and freedom is an example of that. To some people freedom means no responsibility. To others it means having power and ability to assume responsibility. Is it freedom to be taken care of, or does freedom mean to be able to take care of oneself? Is a baby free before it is born when it has no responsibility for its own physical needs, or is it free when it has been released from the confinement of the womb and must begin to do for itself? Does freedom mean we are free to use the Bible as a guide to our behavior? Or does it mean freedom from God?

The provision is set to prohibit judges from awarding punitive damages if a drug has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Herbert states the obvious: "We know the F.D.A. has failed time and again to ensure that unsafe drugs are kept off the market. To provide blanket legal protection against punitive damages in such cases is both unwarranted and dangerous."

The largest single donation so far was $400 and I have now raised the target to $2500 by the end of the month. With that money, we can make a difference and hopefully prevent Michael Forrest

I have just received a letter from the Crown Solicitor dated 17 November 2004. It is attached. As to be expected, they want the action dismissed. This they do by a Notice of Motion and a "Judge" is only too happy to oblige - especially when they are faced with "Quo Warranto" against themselves and the entire fraudulent Government PLUS the fact that evidence ot the criminal practices of the Banks is being brought forward. According to Natural Justice and to the Law, itself, only a Jury can hear and decide such a proceeding....and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY FEAR.

REPUBLIC vs. DEMOCRACYDear Don,
Thank you for the email.
"Jaundiced" is probably the best word to describe such perverted and disjoined logic. No, "bullshit" is more appropriate. In fact, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda (Joseph Goebbels) couldn't have done a better job. The Banks would also be happy because "Word Corruption" is a favour tool of such schemers.
Democratic Government is "government of the People, by the People and for the People" and is made up of 3 Branches, ie: (1) an Executive; (2) a Parliament; and (3) a Judicature. The Judicature (NOT "Judiciary", as Judges would have us believe) is where Trial by Jury is found so that the People can exercise direct control over legislation and ensure that Sovereignty lies with them.

Big Pharma budding into medical pot plan with pill for the ill
BY Matt Mernagh
The med grass community is fuming. Not over the Libs' lousy pot legislation, but over Health Canada's sneaky new regs requiring them to get their official pot at pharmacies. At first glance, doling out Prairie Plant Systems' stockpiled "dirtweed" through drug stores seems like a wonderful idea. But many users are worried that the plan is intended to grease the way for Big Pharma to monopolize the med-grass supply, thus ending licensed users' right to grow their own safe, cheap, effective stash, and threatening compassion clubs with police crackdowns.
There certainly is a lot of room for paranoia. The appearance of new players on the horizon - like the UK's GW Pharmaceuticals, which is hoping to get the nod from Health Canada for its synthetic cannabis spray, Sativex - has only fed fears that the Libs are bent on a private-enterprise solution.

Drug giants accused of pursuing profit over safetyBy Jeremy Laurance
Health Editor
The Independent - UK
10-9-4
The multibillion-pound global pharmaceutical industry was accused yesterday of ignoring safety risks in pursuit of profits after the largest withdrawal of a prescription drug in history.
Doctors on both sides of the Atlantic said the removal from sale of Vioxx, a painkiller for arthritis, demonstrated the failure of the industry and drug regulators to protect people.
They warned of a public health emergency over other painkillers in the same class, known as Cox 2 inhibitors, which could also pose a risk. Articles in The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine said the companies making the painkillers knew of the potential risk for five years but failed to run the necessary trials to check whether the drugs posed a real danger.

For years the people in Washington have offered one plan after another that they said would provide health care for all Americans and rein in costs. Each plan has failed. Today more people than ever have inadequate coverage or no insurance at all. And still costs continue to spin out of control.

If the primary function of prisons is to protect society from those who have no respect for its laws, then Corrections Canada is failing miserably.
An internal Corrections Canada report on the performance of its halfway houses revealed that more than one-third of its convicts escaped in 2002/03, and at least 33% of those committed new, violent crimes. Raising more doubts about why the houses should exist at all is the evidence that convicts from halfway houses re-offend at a higher rate than those who re-entered society

TORONTO -- Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman denied yesterday that the province is trying to bribe doctors into cutting prescription drug costs to the poor and elderly, saying the proposal is meant to curb the over-prescription of medication to seniors. "There is no bribe here," Smitherman said, responding to criticism of a provincial proposal asking Ontario doctors to cut drug costs -- and, in return, obtain a funding boost for physician services.
"I think we have an opportunity to influence policy by incenting and rewarding appropriate behaviour and I think this is what's at play here."

They began opposing hog lots and began to pass "Constitutioal" law at the municipal level regarding hog lots. They are now working from the perspective that Nature has rights [like corporations claim] and that people can sue on behalf of nature. They have been doing this for six years and are now doing 3-day seminars.

Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, German Alternative Cancer Researcher, Faces Jailing in France I have a very urgent message:
Dr. Hamer, the inventor of the New Medicine, has been arrested in Spain. He is to be extradited to France where he will probably be thrown in jail for three years. He is falsely accused of practicing without medicine, even though he *is* a medical doctor. Furthermore, several anonymous persons claim that their health deteriorated because they've read his book ! Several universities have confirmed his theories, but in the trials these facts were ignored. Also, his "Biological Laws" have been validated with 31,000 case studies.
It's quite clear: the CODEX group is trying to get rid of this genius by throwing him in the French jail. He is in poor health and this would probably mean his death.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Privacy advocates are concerned that an implantable microchip designed to help doctors tap into a patient's medical records could undermine confidentiality or could even be used to track the patient's movements.
"If privacy protections aren't built in at the outset, there could be harmful consequences for patients," said Emily Stewart, a policy analyst at the Health Privacy Project.

By Gregory M. Lamb | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Big Pharma is in danger of joining Big Oil and Big Tobacco as one of the bad boys of American industry. A slew of revelations have stung drugmakers in recent months - from charges of hiding unflattering clinical trials to studies showing a link between the use of antidepressants in children and suicidal thoughts. The companies' stance against allowing Americans to buy cheaper drugs in Canada has further eroded public support.
Now, a steady stream of critical books - with titles such as "On The Take" and "The $800 Million Pill" - lambastes the way the companies do business.

The Canadian public should look very skeptically at proposals by federal, provincial and municipal politicians to invest taxpayers' money in so-called P3s (public/private partnerships). Canadians should question how much private corporate profits will be enhanced by these agreements.
A P3 usually involves a private corporation designing, building and operating a public facility like a hospital or a school.
Conservatives and Liberals have argued that the private sector is more efficient at running these services and that P3s save taxpayers' dollars. But there is little evidence
to support these claims.

"I think it's very important for Albertans to start focusing on
exercising their full range of rights and responsibilities under the constitution," Link Byfield said. "We should be taking far more control of things. We allow the federal government to do that. We don't have to. The constitution lets us do them."
Byfield says that would mean Alberta having its own pension plan, a provincial police force and control over health-care policies.

The election of John Tory tonight, along with the direction of Dalton McGuintys government shows for the need in Ontario for a new political movement in the reform tradition. To view the political scene in Ontario today one sees nothing but unacceptable alternatives. There is no in further analysis or debate as to whether supporting PC's or Liberals is the lesser of two evils. Politically we are now in one of those situations where bold actions, not further calculations will carry the day. Ontario needs someone to push for balanced budgets,democratic reform, return to constitutional government and give a voice to social conservatives. Ontario needs Reform more then ever and it will only happen one Reformer at a time.We must create a movement to provide a channel for the expression of our points of view and that draws from across the political spectrum using the strength of its positions on constitutional and parliamentary reform.

New year brings new herbal regulationsSince natural remedies such as ginko are neither drugs nor foods, the products fell into a regulatory void. Federal health officials can only act if a product claims to treat a disease or is shown to be unsafe. Nutritionist John Biggs in Edmonton sees rough days ahead for natural health products, which will now be controlled by Health Canada. In Canada, the industry's sales add up to $500 million annually. "Well, the emotion here is certainly one of suspicion," said Biggs. "And also one of confusion." Read it here

That's because, it would seem, conservatives think that the idea of legal gay sex is ridiculous. Well, I attended that lecture, and Scalia didn't say anything in private that he hasn't said in public, in his scathing dissenting opinions.

Time was when freedom of speech was considered the cornerstone of democracy. No more -- at least not in Canada. Of course, Canadians are not very keen on democracy, either, being content to be ruled in perpetuity by a combination of courts and the Liberal party.
Freedom of speech is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and by Section 2 of our Charter of Rights. Everyone likes rights on paper; for that matter, we like free speech, too, as long as the speech in question is soothing, anodyne and we happen to agree with it. We don't much like freedom for speech that offends us, or with which we disagree. [full story] |

"In light of the court decision the department decided to terminate negotiations for pilot sales agreements for this year and will terminate
any current agreements that are in place right now," said Radford. Cancelling the contracts will not cost the department money, but will

And we are led to believe, the pure balderdash, that we elect and run the government - History has repeatedly shown that that only thing the governments understand is civil unrest and/or civil legislation as you say. Or else since when should we have to take our own governments to the courts just to their job!

We even accept the theory that this same group can monopolistically determine what constitutes health and how to restore it.
The acceptance of this illusion has only served to develop and promote the present oppressive status that has to do with anything non medical.

Environmentalists = Terrorists The New Math
By Karen Charman
Have you ever signed a petition in support of an environmental or animal-rights issue? Do you belong to the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, or Greenpeace? Have you publicly protested some environmental or animal rights outrage? If legislation crafted and promoted by the ultra-conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) becomes law, these fundamental rights of American citizenship could become illegal.
Exploiting the current political climate against terrorism, ALEC has teamed up with the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, a pro-hunting group, to create a model "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act." The legislation is part of an intense backlash against increasingly effective and vocal citizen campaigns aimed at halting -- and holding corporations accountable for -- environmental, animal-rights and public health abuses.

The proposed rule includes a more restrictive, second-tier sodium level for foods that bear the term "healthy." FDA is proposing to retain the current first-tier sodium level for meal and main dish products because implementing the second-tier sodium level could result in eliminating a substantial number of products bearing the claim "healthy" from the marketplace.

In Canada, we elect representatives to represent us, yet the first thing they do when they go to Ottawa is to swear allegiance to a foreign power.
Why are we told that we live in a parliamentary democracy? On December 10, 1990, MP Wilton Littlechild's constituents took him to court and charged him because he would not vote according to their dictates in the house. The judge ruled that the MP did not represent the constituents to parliament, but parliament to the constituents. And who does parliament represent? Well, who does parliament swear allegiance to? So if 'democracy' means "people rule", who represents the people of Canada? These are Canadians? Then why have they sworn allegiance to the Anglican Church British Crown?

War, terror fears fuel Canadian privacy drain: watchdogs

Terrorist attacks in the United States and a looming war in Iraq are fuelling a dangerous erosion of privacy for everyday Canadians, say worried privacy watchdogs.
Canadians overwhelmingly supported increased civil rights restrictions following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. But privacy organizations now are raising alarms about the Big Brother tendencies of governments and law enforcement agencies.
Three recent examples in British Columbia alone:
-A Vancouver-area municipal council is challenging the medical privacy of drug users;
-The RCMP has defied the federal privacy commissioner's demand it remove a surveillance camera in downtown Kelowna, and
-Civil liberties groups are concerned the B.C. government's changes to privacy legislation is making it easier for police to view confidential records held by public bodies. [full story] |

OTTAWA- Official Opposition's Veterans Affairs Critic Roy Bailey said today

has decided to seek leave from the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal an
earlier unanimous decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal, which upheld a
Superior Court ruling that the government owes disabled veterans as much as

"This Liberal government has failed veterans and Canadians, by asking the
Supreme Court to hear this case," Bailey stated. "Canadians across the land
ought to pay very close attention to this case, because it could potentially

| Mar 15, 2003 | What is the appropriate balance between security and privacy
Third Annual Privacy Summit International Association of Privacy Professionals February 27, 2003 Washington, D.C.
George Radwanski Privacy Commissioner of Canada
In the situation we are now experiencing, few issues are more important or timely than the appropriate balance between security and privacy.
The choices that free and democratic societies around the globe make in this regard, in this difficult time of challenge, will quite literally determine what kind of world we create not only for ourselves but what kind of world we leave to our children and grandchildren.
As Justice Thurgood Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court so eloquently put it:
"History teaches us that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure."
In few societies are those choices more urgent and sensitive than here in the United States.
The U.S. and Canada share not only a border but also exceptionally close bonds - of friendship, of language, of many shared values, and many common elements of culture.
All Canadians were deeply affected by the tragic events of September 11. And all Canadians continue to stand with our American friends and neighbours in sympathy and support.
But as close as we are to the United States in so many ways, Canada is also a very different country. We differ, for instance, in our political culture, in the weight we attach to various values, and in the way we approach many issues.
One such difference is reflected in the role that I play as Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
I am an independent Officer of Parliament, our national legislature, appointed for a fixed seven-year term to oversee and defend the privacy rights of all Canadians. I have oversight over compliance with Canada's two privacy laws, that cover the public and the private sectors, and I am mandated to comment and advise on all matters that affect the privacy rights of Canadians.
This means that whenever there are policy issues that are likely to affect those rights, the voice of privacy is right there at the table, in an institutionalized and official way. There is, at present, no counterpart to this Canadian approach in the U.S. federal system.
It's from the perspective of my responsibilities in Canada that I speak to you this morning.
It is certainly not my role or my intention to tell people in any other country, including this one, what they should do. But it is also true that in the wake of September 11, law enforcement and security measures are increasingly being globalized - so it is important to look at privacy, as well, in an international context.

| Mar 31, 2002 | New federal tax on Cd's and digital memory
Stop The Tax - www.cdbiz.ca Hi, I am asking for your help in spreading the word on a new federal tax that is going to have a significant impact on my business and the IT industry. New levees are being imposed that will double the cost for digital memory devices such as CD's. CD-R's, CD-RW, DVD's and computer memory in Canada. For example: each mini-cd disk will have a $1.23 levy applied to it and all recordable CD's will have a $.59 levy applied to them. Below is a cost comparison of various products today and the proposed price impact on January 1. Product Price Jan. 1st 100 recordable CD Business cards: $150.00 $273.00 Nomad Jukebox Audio MP3 Player $389.97 $515.97 100 Maxwell 80Min/700MB CD-R's $ 49.99 $108.99 64 MB Compact Flash Card $ 59.99 $ 65.11 These are just a few examples based on present technology and prices. Please note that as technology advances and prices come down the amount of levy you pay will increase because they are based on memory capacity and not price. For example: Next year a 10 gig MP3 player my cost $200. However the levy applied would result in a total cost of $410. As prices go down and memory increases - so will the taxes. This levy will double our costs and restrict our ability to compete with American products. Please help us by signing our petition and letting the federal government know that this will do nothing to stop Americans and others from around the world in the ripping of Canadian music.

By Mike Godfrey Tax-News.com 3-26-2 NEW YORK - To the delight of liberal activists, the United Nations' International Conference on Financing for Development, which took place in Monterrey, Mexico, last week failed in its aim of creating an International Tax Organisation, intended to enable nations to collect and disseminate information regarding their tax policies, assist governments in taxing emigrant workers, and compel members to share tax data.

News Release
Randy White, MP
Langley-Abbotsford
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Tuesday, March 12, 2002
FEDS WON'T FIX E.I. MISTAKE
HRDC MINISTER SAYS PEOPLE WHO WERE RIPPED OFF CAN APPEAL - BUT WON'T COMMIT TO PAYING BACK MONEY THEY ARE OWED
OTTAWA -HRDC Minister Jane Stewart today refused to commit to repaying millions of dollars in Employment Insurance benefits to thousands of Canadians who had been charged too much in E.I. overpayments by her department over a five year period. Instead, she stated those affected could use an appeal process in order to attempt to reclaim their money.
"So instead of giving back money her own department admits they collected erroneously, this Minister is forcing these people to put even more money out in legal fees in order to go through the appeal process," said Langley-Abbotsford MP Randy White, who brought the story to light
yesterday.
"Basically, Canadians are being forced to pay twice for her mistake.
Classic money mismanagement from the Minister who brought us the billion dollar boondoggle." [full story] |

From: "Official Opposition Press Office - Service de presse de l'opposition officielle" Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:40 PM Subject: Release - LIBERALS RAMMING THROUGH HUGE $2.2 BILLION AIR TAX DESPITE UNIVERAL OPPOSITION Official Opposition Critic for Finance Jason Kenney, MP News Release Wednesday February 27th, 2002 LIBERALS RAMMING THROUGH HUGE $2.2 BILLION AIR TAX DESPITE UNIVERAL OPPOSITION Ottawa - The Liberal government has rammed through a $2.2 billion tax hike on air travellers through the House of Commons Finance Committee, ignoring the universal opposition from every witness that appeared before the committee, according to the Canadian Alliance. "The Liberals have shown no willingness to accept constructive amendments to this potentially devastating tax on air travel," said Jason Kenney, Official Opposition Finance Critic. "The Liberals just do not seem to care that every major group in the travel industry has said that the tax will penalize short-haul travellers and airlines, hurt an already weak tourism industry, and do little for security." Kenney said that the Canadian Alliance offered a number of constructive amendments including: * Lowering the flat $24 tax to a level comparable with that charged in the United States; * Introducing a progressive tax, charging passengers a percentage of the ticket price rather than a flat tax; * Exempting certain airports in small communities, like Churchill Falls (pop. 717), from the tax in order to save their airline services; * Ensuring that the tax revenue collected from a local airport is not greater than 50% of the operating budget of the airport (some airports like Saskatoon and Charlottetown could collect more in taxes from travellers than it costs to run their entire airports); * Requiring an annual tabling of the new Air Security Authority's budget and strategic plan in Parliament; and * Calling for a sunset clause. "If anyone believed that the tax and spend Liberals were no more - think again. This government increased spending by a massive 9.3% versus last year and is raising taxes by over $2.5 billion in 2002," said Kenney. "But even I find it hard to believe that the Liberals would risk competition in the air industry, and jeopardize service to smaller centres by raising more tax revenue from an already hurting industry." - 30 - For more information contact: Jason Kenney, Member of Parliament (613) 992-2235 Vern Malcolm, Executive Assistant (613) 992-2581 [full story] |

Do You Own Yourself?
By Butler Shaffer
LewRockwell.com
2-25-2
One of my favorite quotations comes from Thomas Pynchon: "if they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers." Our world is in the mess it is in today because most of us have internalized the fine art of asking the wrong questions. Contrary to the thinking that would have us believe that the conflict, violence, tyranny, and destructiveness that permeates modern society is the result of "bad" or "hateful" people, disparities in wealth, or lack of education, all of our social problems are the direct consequence of a general failure to respect the inviolability of one another's property interests!
I begin my Property classes with the question: "do you own yourself?" Most of my students eagerly nod their heads in the affirmative, until I warn them that, by the time we finish examining this question at the end of the year, they will find their answer most troubling, whatever it may be today. "If you do own yourself, then why do you allow the state to control your life and other property interests? And if you answer that you do not own yourself, then what possible objection can you raise to anything that the state may do to you?" We then proceed to an examination of the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford.

| Dec 20, 2001 | Harris says no to tying tax credit to curriculum
The Provincial Tory Leadership is shaping up. There are two groups and one improbable. On the right, we have Jim Flaherty and Tony Clement, both very able men with the right policies; Jim Flaherty has more political maturity at this time but I insist, both are very capable men and willing to continue the current policies of the present government.
The second group is formed by those of the left, all intending to bring us back to the Bill Davis era that brought about the Liberals and the NDP with the catastrophic results we all know. In my book, the most acceptable is probably Elizabeth Whitmer.
The improbable of course, is none other than Chris Stockwell. Although I'm not dismissing Chris for he's a capable man, I feel his chances at this point are very slim. [full story] |

The Mother of All Rights Making the world safe for religion.
By David F. Forte, professor of law at Cleveland State University. He is the author of Studies in Islamic Law: Classical and Contemporary Applications. December 6, 2001 8:30 a.m.
Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry are safely home. But though the faces of those two dedicated young women have passed from the nightly news shows, their cause and their plight should not be forgotten. They had gone to Afghanistan as part of a Christian charitable organization. They were called by their faith to assist others no matter their race, creed, or sex. But the Taliban charged them with the heinous offense of trying to inform people about Christianity. The charge was a capital one. And when the Taliban said that a crime was capital, they meant it.
The Taliban's threats against these Christian aid workers, however, were benign compared to their treatment of any religious expression � Islam included � that did not fit their own wretchedly intolerant model. They required Hindus to wear yellow turbans, and Sikhs a yellow garment, which, like the imposed yellow star of an earlier totalitarian regime, branded a people as unworthy of any human respect. They destroyed ancient Buddhist monuments, with a cynical disdain for the sensibilities of the followers of that gentle faith. They forbade holy images of any sort. They beat, imprisoned, and murdered Muslims who did not dress or pray as commanded. They persecuted Ismailis. They massacred Shiites.

| Oct 7, 2001 | Be Thankful -But, Not Complacent
We certainly have much to be thankful for at this Thanksgiving Holiday weekend (in Canada). However, 9/11 has changed things. We must be alert to the fact that there are those who are jealous of the wealth and especially the freedoms that we have in North America and would like to destroy this. Muslims have become very vocal here; we must take steps to protect our freedoms from attacks from without and also within. Note the following quote from the Quran, Sura 9.5: "Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem of war." Our PM has been bumbling; our current one-party government has lacked accountability; and our defense, intelligence service, and security are weak. In our rush to become more secure we should be leary of intrusion of government into our civil rights -see "Punctured Privacy" (Oct.1). Muslim countries, in the last 30 years, have become less free, while European, African, Asian, and South American countries have become more free. See the following Meed-Ward article from the Toronto Sun. [full story] |
