Agent Provacateurs employed;
on whose orders ...?
There are those in Canada who want to stay in denial after the release of news that agent provocateurs were employed in the demonstrations in Montello at the 3 Amigos summit. At this time of posting, the RCMP AND the Surete de Qeubec are denying the 3 cops who were outted were working for THEM
I was on the national steering committee for the demonstrations. Okay, everyone, groan together now, but after 40 years of being active I thought I had something to offer. One thing I offered up was just what the White House Protocol on BuZh's appearances actually is . which is .. no signs or placards are encouraged. That is interesting to note is it not? And that explained why the security barrier was put up. That way the signs and placards and teeshirts cannot be seen. Interesting how the 3 cops CLEARLY have no issue evident on their clothing, or holding signs or holing signs or anything! I woulda been suspicious of them, just for THAT!!!
I felt, and continue to feel, that goverment agents were also placed inside the local organizing committees, as many of the places that the 40 supporting demonstrations took place made absolutely NO sense from a strategic point of view. WHY?
Now whether or not the FULL STORY of government involvement in wiping out the real issues to the maximum extent possible will ever get exposed .. I doubt it .. but I noticed that CTV ran the SAME clip of demonstrators over and over and over again . never showing how many people attended or showing any placards at the demonstration, instead ONLY focussing on those who took part that have an antiwar issue - not the job loss issue, the give away of gas, oil and water issue and so on. I took exception to CTV calling the executives inside "top" executives and being very elistist thoroughout the coverage. I tried to call to complain; they did not take calls and did not call back. So much for media transparency, too.
This issue was put front and forward today by maisonneuve.org's mediascout, a handy dandy roundup of Canadian news, as an item called THOSE ANARCHIST PUNKS IN THEIR POLICE BOOTS. The video was released on YouTube Tuesday can be found on th elink
And you can BET it will be front and forward tomorrow as well. There is nothing remotely POLITICAL to posting about this; the entire country is posting about, including some influential MPs.
Quebec Justice Minister Jacques Dupuis was made aware of the news, but a spokesman from his office said he will not comment on the matter either.
“Two hundred protesters went nose-to-nose with riot police outside Chateau Montebello’s main gate yesterday afternoon, but while serious violence was avoided, police employed tear gas and pepper spray.
In response, protesters in gas masks, goggles, and balaclavas hurled rocks, tomatoes, and bottles filled with stones at the police.
“I’ve heard it’s nothing,” shouted Prime Minister Stephen Harper over his shoulder to reporters as he waited for his U.S. counterpart. “A couple of hundred? It’s sad.”
Media coverage of this event was the WORST coverage I have ever encountered; I found out what was happening on a Chinese UHS channel!!

Very good article detailing how Washington lays down its’ law and deals with protesters.

AEUB spying case spills south of border
Jeff Holubitsky, edmontonjournal.com
The AEUB is the Alberta Energy & Utilities board and they are being accused of using paid private security to infiltrate public hearings and spy on land owners. Now Montana Public Service Commissioner Ken Toole is “concerned that Montana citizens were spied upon." The Public had to watch proceedings on closed circuit TV.
