You might not be a fan of this kind of music.  Don’t let that prevent you from listening to the video!

Excerpts from the dialogue:

“music is the thing that can humanize even the most abstract moment.”

“Technology can actually increase privacy.”

“Saying that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different to saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It’s a deeply anti-social principle, because rights are not just individual, they’re collective.”

“What may not have value to you today, may have value to an entire population, an entire people, or an entire way of life tomorrow. And if you don’t stand up for it, then who will?”

French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have collaborated on a track called Exit, which will appear on Jarre’s forthcoming album, Electronica Volume II: The Heart of Noise. The collaboration came about after Jarre gave an interview to the Guardian last year and asked if he could be put in touch with Snowden

 

MORE ? . . . 

The Guardian’s coverage of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks has had a wide variety of repercussions, but perhaps none are as improbable as the latest: a collaboration between the 32-year-old whistleblower and French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, on a techno track to be released this weekend.

“Edward is an absolute hero of our times,” said Jarre, whose piece with Snowden, called Exit, appears on his forthcoming album of collaborations, Electronica Volume II: The Heart Of Noise, the former CIA employee making an unlikely appearance on a list of special guests that also includes the Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan and rapper Peaches.

“When I first read about him, it made me think of my mother,” said Jarre. “She joined the French resistance in 1941, when people in France still thought they were just troublemakers, and she always told me that when society is generating things you can’t stand, you have to stand up against it. The whole Electronica project is about the ambiguous relationship we have with technology: on the one side we have the world in our pocket, on on the other, we are spied on constantly. There are tracks about the erotic relationship we have with technology, the way we touch our smartphones more than our partners, about CCTV surveillance, about love in the age of Tindr. It seemed quite appropriate to collaborate not with a musician but someone who literally symbolises this crazy relationship we have with technology.”

The Guardian passed on a contact for Ben Wisner, Edward Snowden’s solicitor. “I had no idea if he would be interested,” Jarre said of his contact with Wisner, “but he loved the idea, thought Edward would love the idea and put us in contact. I sent him a demo of the music, then had a meeting with Edward over Skype, 90 minutes of conversation, where I gave him the understanding of what I wanted to do, we talked about his situation, the reason why he did what he did, then we recorded his vocals.”

Jarre subsequently travelled to Moscow to meet Snowden. “I wanted to film him, because I want to play the track on stage. I think it’s important if I’m playing at festivals with a young audience that the statements in the track are promoted and exposed. We spent three hours together, we filmed him, we talked about a lot of things.”

Snowden declined to speak to the Guardian about the track, but in the video Jarre shot in Moscow, he claimed to be a fan of electronic music – “The melodies I remember with the most fondness are from video games” – and said he was “really surprised” by contacted by the author of the 12m-selling album Oxygène and holder of the Guinness World Record for attracting the largest concert audience in history. “It was something I wasn’t expecting. As an engineer, someone who’s not really cool, it was something of a treat to collaborate on a big cultural project.”

We can kiss Canada’s human rights credibility goodbye

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/we-can-kiss-canadas-human-rights-credibility-goodbye/article29630940/

 

CESAR JARAMILLO

Contributed to The Globe and Mail

Cesar Jaramillo is executive director of Project Ploughshares, an anti-war group that tracks arms sales.

 

Damning revelations about Ottawa’s handling of the controversial $15-billion arms deal with human-rights pariah Saudi Arabia have confirmed that the Liberal government authorized the bulk of this contract even after having repeatedly claimed that it had already been approved by the previous government.

 

Both the Harper Conservatives and the Trudeau Liberals have argued that failing to fulfill the deal would damage Canada’s international reputation. But it is the reputation cost of actually fulfilling this dubious contract that all Canadians should be most concerned about.

 

Any Canadian attempt to speak out on international efforts to protect human rights will soon be met with skepticism and disdain. One can almost hear it: “Ha! … Says the country that is arming one of the most repressive regimes on Earth.”

 

Canada takes public pride in valuing the protection of human rights and in maintaining stringent military export controls. But its voice in the arena of human rights will be utterly diminished, if not silenced, as Ottawa ploughs ahead with the implementation of this deal. And it could take decades to repair the damage.

 

Did Ottawa adequately consider the high cost of this diplomatic handicap?

 

The Canadian government has argued that if Canada does not sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, someone else will. Not surprisingly, the ethical flaws in this argument have been noted by a growing number of observers. Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Louise Arbour dryly noted, “This argument that if we don’t do it somebody else will do it I find, frankly, the least convincing. It is not infused with moral, ethical values.”

 

Saudi Arabia’s record clearly shows that it cannot satisfy human-rights safeguards that require that “no reasonable risk” exists that Canadian-made military goods will be used against civilians. Thus export permits should not have been issued, and the deal should not proceed. Yet proceed it will.

 

A necessary implication of Ottawa’s approval of the export permits is that it sees no reasonable risk in shipping military equipment to a regime notorious for violating the human rights of its citizens (and, of late, citizens of neighbouring countries). If it intends to stand by this position, the Canadian public deserves to know – in detail – how this determination was reached.

 

Canada’s concerns about its ability to conduct business internationally had Saudi Arabia been deemed ineligible to receive military exports cannot be reasonably justified. The argument that an arms deal cannot proceed because it has not met domestic export controls is surely compelling. Which prospective trading partner would find it unreasonable for Canada to make export authorizations contingent upon full compliance with domestic regulations?

 

Strict adherence to export controls should not only be the norm when selling military goods, but should be seen as a badge of honour.

 

There are still options to review the deal, at least in theory. If, going forward¸ the government acknowledges the existence of a reasonable risk, even after having granted export permits, then every effort must be made to revisit the decision to authorize it. That much has been conceded by Global Affairs Canada, which acknowledged in January that the department could consider suspending or cancelling existing permits, should relevant reports emerge. Given Saudi Arabia’s worsening human-rights record, such reports are likely to emerge regularly.

 

In a peculiar twist, the Conservatives are now chastising Trudeau’s Liberals for their intention to fulfill the deal and for the secrecy surrounding its authorization. Conservative foreign affairs critic Tony Clement even suggested that the deal be scrapped, pointing to changing “realities on the ground” in regards to the Saudi involvement with the ongoing conflict in Yemen.

 

A cat can only be skinned so many ways, and Ottawa clearly exhausted its attempts to rationalize the Saudi arms deal. But it still had the audacity to grant the requisite permits. Even so, questions about the compatibility of the Saudi arms deal with existing export controls can and should continue to be raised, as they remain essentially unanswered.

 

The credibility of Canada’s voice on human rights has taken a big hit. And if Ottawa still refuses to acknowledge the flagrant inconsistencies in its position, it might at least want to drop the line about Canada’s export controls being “some of the strongest in the world.”

Ashu Solo claims I lie, from Complaint to Police by Daeran Gall.  My name is used 20 times.

Subject: Re: Complaint To: “Baron, Dennis” <Dennis.Baron@police.saskatoon.sk.ca>

Events of Saturday, June 27, 2015 Ashu had been sending me many many messages of a violent and malicious nature, sometimes several per day via Facebook prior to the event at on June 27. He apparently hates  me because I do not condone his actions and defend Sandra Finely. I used to at least try to listen to him, and was in many ways the only person who would. It is probable he considered me a friend who betrayed him.

I even considered not going to the event knowing that he would likely be there.

He had really stepped up the messaging prior to the event as if warning me that he would be. I decided not to be intimidated by him and went. Upon seeing him at the event, he came up to me with a file folder and I just told him to stay away from me. Upon the ending of the event he again came up to me with an angry voice and threatening manner with his file folder.

I feel his threatening manner and endless years long emails and posts would only just escalate if I gave him any more consideration. So I pushed him with some force away from me and told him to “leave me the fuck alone” in a stern tone, and I walked away. He followed with taunts and accusations. I felt at this point the best thing I could do was leave. So I did. I am sorry for not responding to this earlier, but this man has already taken up far too much space and time in my life. I feel he is has some sort of persecution complex that distorts his perception of reality. I used to try to listen to him, to be someone who would try to understand. However anyone who does not see he does is classified as ‘enemy’. It seems he believes that he is being persecuted by a conspiring lot of people who spread defamatory lies about him, when in fact he is very likely the one that put up a fake web site in the name of Tonia Zimmerman.

His actions are difficult to fathom, however at the event I decided I had had enough, I no longer can let the fact that he likely has some sort of mental illness illicit anymore compassion for his endless crusade of revenge. He disrupts meetings, behaves in a very threatening and aggressive manner and should have a restraint placed upon him for future events in my opinion. Here is some of the Facebook messaging from prior to the meeting, I stopped long ago reading emails from him. I offered to meet and yet again ‘hear him out’ but decided against it.

<daerangall@gmail.com>Jun 25

to Ashu you wanna meet.

You have left a large amount of violent and aggressive messages in my FB. Which i no longer read at all.

IF and only if you stick to the point.

And we can find a time i suppose next week.

But if you lay down anymore derogatory or violently toned emailed, I don’t even know why i would bother.

I don’t respond to spam or junk mail.

 

Some highlights from Ashu’s stream of Facebook posts.

“nobody was posting lies about you all over the internet nobody contacted the green parties with lies about you”

“you may fantasize about flowers and rainbows, but real men fantasize about violence”

“i fantasize about violenc

*violence

ain’t nothing wrong with that

that’s what a military officer does

you pathetic civilian coward” “the only way i fantasize about banging her is in the face with punches & kicks

she’s lucky i’m a law abiding citizen” in Reference to someone named “Tonia Zimmerman” when I suggested that he sounded like someone in a lover’s quarrel.

 

Ashu M. G. Solo

You’re (i.e. Daeran is)  despised in the provincial Green Party for being a bootlicker to Finley and for promulgating lies about me You called Finley a “powerful woman.”  She doesn’t look so powerful now that she’s paying a lawyer $300 per hour to defend herself. You’re the biggest hypocrite and idiot ever.  You think because of the Christmas message case, everyone should be able to spread lies about me without consequences including Finley. Finley’s bootlickers including you are despised in the provincial Green Party And you’re one of her bootlickers You raised such an uproar over a truthful blog about Zimmerman and then you threaten to post a libelous blog on me, you hypocritical piece of trash.

Tonia Zimmerman

Hi Sandra,

Sorry to seem like a broken record, but the harassment from Mr. Solo hasn’t stopped.  He threatened to create more websites defaming me, unless I acquiesced.  I am attaching proof of these interactions.  Out of sheer fear, I deleted my twitter account, and also this Facebook account (which I have reopened to write you).

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

December 9, 2013   (Zimmerman was trying to find solutions)

Is there a way one could wrest control of the Official Facebook and Twitter pages from him?  Perhaps by starting new ones?    (“him” is Ashu Solo)

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

December 27, 2013    Ashu Solo came to the Saskatoon Airport at 6:00 AM, when I was in line with my daughter to check-in for a flight.  He had called people in Saskatoon with my surname, beginning around 5:00am, to find the time of my departure.  A WestJet attendant had been watching Ashu Solo’s verbal attacks on me.  She stepped in and called Security.

At the time, Ashu Solo’s allegations (attacks) seemed crazy.  Later, I realized they weren’t crazy.   Ashu Solo was desperate to know whether Tonia Zimmerman had given me the email thread between himself (Ashu Solo) and radio talk show host John Gormley.   The email thread is damning of Ashu Solo.   On December 27th, the time of the attack, I had not seen the email thread.  Tonia Zimmerman gave it to me later.

You can see by the date and time of the following:  After attacking me at the Airport, Ashu Solo immediately renewed his attacks on Tonia Zimmerman.  I knew nothing;  he had to “get to” Tonia Zimmerman, to stop her from ever giving the email thread to me.

The following is the second and final time that Zimmerman took down her Facebook and Twitter accounts because of harassment by Ashu Solo.   (The first time was December 5th – see above.)  Ashu Solo had just ramped up what he had been doing to her since December 2012.

Hi Patricia.  The blogs about my character have started up again.  I’m deleting my Facebook and twitter accounts.  You can still get a hold of me at (phone number removed)   .  This is just getting to be too much. 

(Link no longer valid)  https://sites.google.com/site/toniazimmermansaskatoon/   (This blog still has a remnant)    http://toniazimmerman.wordpress.com/

Ashu Solo put up the blogs.  He usurped the name “Tonia Zimmerman” and attacked Zimmerman’s employability.

January 10, 2014.  Tonia Zimmerman:

I guess I’m just a bit war-weary, Sandra.  I do think we’ll beat him in the end, and the Greens will be a better group for it.  But this experience with him has cost me a lot.  I miss seeing and hearing about my friends on Facebook.  I tire of thinking so often about this madman that has turned my life upside-down, but at times I’m almost consumed with it, because that means I get my life back.

I wonder how calm and collected people like Larry or Vic would be if it were they that had their photos spread all over the internet simply for opposing a wannabe tyrant.  Memories of the most vulnerable and fragile times (my struggles with depression) brought vividly up, in an attempt to get people not to hire me.

Day after day, these sites remain up, and it’s really affecting me.   I have reported the sites, and received e-mails explaining until there is legal precedent proving the blog’s inaccuracies (!) wordpress will not remove them.  All of which makes me wonder why I am even bothering playing by the rules (ie, not posting the TRUE info we have on Solo), when Solo plays only down and dirty?

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

ASHU SOLO kept on hammering Tonia Zimmer.  Ashu’s use of manufactured news websites that take over a person’s name when an on-line search is done on the name.    See January 25 below – – Ashu Solo lists half a dozen “news” items he has manufactured and posted on-line about Tonia Zimmerman.

February 4, 2014.  Tonia Zimmerman to Sandra Finley:

I am 28.  . . .

I appreciate your kindness and for defending me.

I think I’m going to have to take a more decided step back from this whole affair.  While I am no longer as afraid for my person (though there are more (As at April 11, 2017.  Trolling Academy   This link has been broken for 22 days websites bearing my face, all threatening my financial ruin), I have been left quite adrift from much of this.  I suppose you could call it disillusionment (or maybe it’s just old fashioned depression) . . .

Feb 13, 2014.    Tonia Zimmerman went completely incommunicado, vis-à-vis myself (Sandra Finley).    She had spoken in December 2013 about returning to her home province of Alberta because of the impact of Ashu Solo on her life.  (I have an email in which she states that Ashu Solo began his assaults on her in December 2012.)  In the short time I knew her,  she rallied her courage to continue the fight.  She had tried hard for more than a year.  She was fearful lest Ashu discover where she lived, or her phone number.   He robbed her of her Right to Free Speech.   He was relentless in his attacks.  In the end, it was too much, it was hard to see where the remedy would come from.

It is now March 2017 – – THREE YEARS later.   I feel as though we are getting closer to putting an end to the antics of Ashu Solo.   However, the TIME, the FINANCIAL COSTS, the wear and tear, the OPPORTUNITY COSTS,  the number of people adversely affected, the costs of the time for Police Departments, for the Justice System. for the Saskatoon Health Authority (in the case of a woman Ashu Solo tried to get fired from her job), the fact that we are not yet at the end – –  all this combines to tell me that Tonia Zimmerman’s decision to leave Saskatoon to escape Ashu Solo was indeed a sound decision.

Just as I can tell you some of what Ashu Solo did to Tonia Zimmerman, myself and other people,  Tonia Zimmerman told about Ashu Solo’s attacks on other people from her circles.  She supported her statements with screen captures from facebook.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

REMINDER:   there are copies of some of the material Ashu Solo posted about Tonia Zimmerman at  http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11416.  

And the Ashu Solo file on my computer has the note from Tonia:   Ashu Solo used LinkedIn against her.  She could not get onto LinkedIn without having an account.  But she did not want to reveal to Ashu Solo her place of actual employment.  So she stated a place at which she had minimal connection.   Ashu phoned that office and was told that Tonia Zimmerman did not work there.   The mis-statement of where she worked saved her from attacks by Ashu Solo through her actual place of employment, but opened her up to his accusations that she falsified her work experience.

i don’t know what his relationship to crocels is, but I am certain he manages some aspect of it.. I sent a request to the agency and his response was extremely rapid.. as if he had received the email personally

it is my opinion that he suffers from some sort of exaggerated reality, whereby he does actually see himself as a victim of some vast conspiracy against him, and his heroic efforts to free himself from them. As well as empower others.

kind of like the way some of us try to bring attention to corporate malfeasance and influence.

I am only guessing but I think he sees himself as a kind of Super Bernie Sanders, campaigning against influence and corruption.

He has openly written to me of his intention to put up the web page and his doing it.
I would advise taking out web pages in your own name at least and on places like wordpress, blogspot.. and others.

it is all terrifyingly real. I don’t think he can be stopped now, except by some kind of legal intervention.
Thank you for all that has been done in this regard so far.

Also beware of facebook friend requests.. i am sure he has and creates alias’s as needed.

also i am sure he may have email aliases that resemble names of people in lists..

I think you’re right about his psychological state.

But I’m not going to bother with acquiring urls. I’ve seen the pages which he put up about Vicki, and they scream out “crank”. They say more about Ashu than they do about Vicki. No sensible person is going to take him seriously.

As for Crocels, if you do a search on the guy who runs it you will see he is another misfit with a few rather large chips on his shoulder. Again, it should not be taken seriously.

And Ashu no longer has the ear of the media here. So his reach is minimal.

What he can do, it seems, is drag people down in expensive court cases. But if Sandra wins hers, and Ashu is charged costs, I don’t think he’ll be able to do much for a very long time.

Thank-you for your documentation, Daeran.

Appended: an update on the Court Case, for those who have not seen it.  (not appended here.  Duplication.  See list of UPDATES in Index.)

Request (Daeran): can you please forward “He has openly written to me of his intention to put up the web page and his doing it”.
Otherwise, there will be no way to confirm that he is the author of the web page(s) about you.

I am very sorry about Ashu’s continuing harassment of you. You pay a large toll.

I agree with your statement, I don’t think he can be stopped now, except by some kind of legal intervention. (The only other way is the use of violence.)
In order to move things ahead as quickly as possible, I respond immediately to anything to do with the court case.

Take good care,

Sandra

P.S. For the “Reply to All”, I removed turninggreen2014@gmail.com (I don’t know who this is) and Shawn Setyo. I know Shawn but the Ashu thing predates his more recent involvement with the GPC in Saskatoon. I prefer to keep the number of people involved smaller rather than larger. /S

Many thanks to Janet.

Dear All:

 

Last Friday  I attended the excellent TPP Conference Making Sense of the TPP  held at the University of Ottawa and co-sponsored by the Canadian Writer’s Association, two Departments at Ottawa U and the national Trade Justice Network [of which I am a member], The list of  stellar speakers is  noted below in a posting from Scott Sinclair of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives which provides links to  the video coverage of the entire event on CCPA’s website.

 

All the presentations together in one day provided a useful overview of the magnitude of the issues and threats to democracy, the environment, climate change, health care, human rights, the economy, jobs, etc that come with this mega- trade agreement but what made the day all the more useful for activists trying to stop the TPP was a masterful  keynote presentation by world renowned Nobel Laureate Economist  Professor Joseph Stiglitz  with his repeated and convincing warnings to  the Canadian government not to ratify the TPP.

 

I also include media coverage of Professor Stiglitz  visit with one 6 minute interview in which  he makes the case for Canada not to ratify the TPP in an interview with Dianne Buckner of CBC’s The Exchange:

 

Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz says Canada should reject TPP

The Columbia University professor says the TPP deal is flawed and pro-big business.

From: Sandra Finley  Sent: April 9, 2016 10:05 PM   To: DebraGrnFedLdr Eindiguer    Subject: Update RE Court case, Ashu Solo

 

Hi Debra,

Ashu has renewed email launches on the Greens in Saskatoon and in Ottawa.

Will you mind forwarding this update on the Court Case to a few key people in the Ottawa structure?

It may be helpful for them to know that the court case is moving ahead  (Ashu filed a suit against me).

The update has been sent to those most affected in Saskatoon.

All the best,

Sandra (Finley)

 

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, PROGRESS ON THE COURT CASE

 

Ashu Solo filed Claims mostly alleging defamation.

The Court has received Statements of Defence from the co-defendants (Sandra Finley and LFC blog-hosting service).

 

Ashu subsequently filed a “Demand for Details”.

Response was filed yesterday (April 8).

 

In my view, his strategy has been use of the justice system to intimidate and coerce people.

He is deliberately running up my legal bills, thinking that I will capitulate.

A sane person probably would!

 

Some of the “Details” demanded by Ashu are for date, time, name re the threats he has made to sue other people if they don’t do what he demands of them.

(The silly part of his demands is that he is the author/sender of the details – – he already has them!)

 

But Ashu does not know how many examples of his threats against other people have been forwarded to me.

He can only fish for more information.

 

The problem for him is that judges take a dim view of using the threat of the justice system to coerce people.

The collection of examples shows that that is what he is doing.

 

In this preliminary stage, a general statement is made – – i.e. “This is what we will be showing in Court”.

The details come out in Court.  His  Demand for those details is inappropriate at this stage.

 

Maybe the latest volley of emails to people in Saskatoon is triggered by fear.

Maybe he is starting to realize that he is in more trouble than he thought.

But I have been wrong before on the subject of Ashu Solo!

 

The case is almost ready to proceed to the next step, mandatory Mediation.

 

APPENDED:   the reason I give to myself for staying the course.  The cost is ridiculous.  The cause is not.

 

I will let you know what comes.

Best wishes,

Sandra

 

APPENDED:    excerpt

It is important to find ways to deal with cyberbullying.   Alternatively, people will find their own means.  Those means will be outside the Justice System;  they will involve violence.  Civil litigation is completely ineffective in this realm.

Civil litigation is for the wealthy and a few people like myself who believe that Charter Rights have to be defended at all costs.  We must stand in solidarity with others who have defended the right to free speech at huge personal cost, and with their lives and the lives of their family members on the line.

Reference publication of the “Satanic Verses” in 1989 by Salman Rushdie.  The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa ordering Muslims to kill Rushdie.   “Joseph Anton: A Memoir” by Rushdie documents the refusal of himself, a handful of publishers and a few others to bow.

Their sole motivation was that they understood that free speech must be an inviolable right.   With responsibilities, yes, but not to be abandoned out of fear.

Well done,  Samuel.

Thanks.

Regarding the Posts to F/B.

Searched through more computer files to see if I could find copies.

Found two things that might be helpful.

  1. Daeran Gall responded to the S’toon Police on July 28th, 2015  with the appended invective authored by Ashu on F/B.  Daeran starts with “Some highlights”  (a few worst examples).   And then supplies details (content, date and time).

2.  Tonia Zimmerman sent me some screen captures of F/B postings between Ashu, and people I don’t know – – a high school student and the student’s Aunt.   The ones I read showed a deteriorating relationship.  Starts between the young woman and Ashu.  Goes bad.  The Aunt steps in telling that in the beginning she supported Ashu’s efforts.  But after seeing this other side of him (turns quickly to anger, etc.)  she has changed her mind.  And then repeated requests by the Aunt that Ashu stop messaging her.  Basically, it’s more evidence of Ashu’s behaviour (the student said things she should not have said, too)  but look at the age difference.   I mention it because it’s F/B based.

I posted material that may be useful at the next stage.  But did not “publish” it.  Left it in draft form, under contrived titles, and under its own category. (Ashu watches my blog like a hawk for new postings.)

It gives me a headache when I look at how much more there is that helps tell the story, things I had forgotten.  Careful consideration by a small group, of John Gormley’s request that I go on his show to be interviewed about Ashu.   Recent research on Ashu’s partner in the (??) academic field, Hamid Arabnia.  And so on.

Good night!

Sandra

———- Forwarded message ———- From: Daeran Gall   Date: Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 3:47 PM   Subject: Re: Complaint To: “Baron, Dennis (Police)” <Dennis.Baron  AT  police.saskatoon.sk.ca>

Events of Saturday, June 27, 2015 Ashu had been sending me many many messages of a violent and malicious nature, sometimes several per day via Facebook prior to the event at on June 27. He apparently hates  me because I do not condone his actions and defend Sandra Finely. I used to at least try to listen to him, and was in many ways the only person who would. It is probable he considered me a friend who betrayed him.

I even considered not going to the event knowing that he would likely be there.

He had really stepped up the messaging prior to the event as if warning me that he would be. I decided not to be intimidated by him and went. Upon seeing him at the event, he came up to me with a file folder and I just told him to stay away from me. Upon the ending of the event he again came up to me with an angry voice and threatening manner with his file folder.

I feel his threatening manner and endless years long emails and posts would only just escalate if I gave him any more consideration. So I pushed him with some force away from me and told him to “leave me the fuck alone” in a stern tone, and I walked away. He followed with taunts and accusations. I felt at this point the best thing I could do was leave. So I did. I am sorry for not responding to this earlier, but this man has already taken up far too much space and time in my life. I feel he is has some sort of persecution complex that distorts his perception of reality. I used to try to listen to him, to be someone who would try to understand. However anyone who does not see he does is classified as ‘enemy’. It seems he believes that he is being persecuted by a conspiring lot of people who spread defamatory lies about him, when in fact he is very likely the one that put up a fake web site in the name of Tonia Zimmerman.

His actions are difficult to fathom, however at the event I decided I had had enough, I no longer can let the fact that he likely has some sort of mental illness illicit anymore compassion for his endless crusade of revenge. He disrupts meetings, behaves in a very threatening and aggressive manner and should have a restraint placed upon him for future events in my opinion. Here is some of the Facebook messaging from prior to the meeting, I stopped long ago reading emails from him. I offered to meet and yet again ‘hear him out’ but decided against it. >>> Daeran Gall

<daerangall@gmail.com>Jun 25

to Ashu you wanna meet.

You have left a large amount of violent and aggressive messages in my FB. Which i no longer read at all.

IF and only if you stick to the point.

Time and place of meeting.

And we can find a time i suppose next week.

But if you lay down anymore derogatory or violently toned emailed, I don’t even know why i would bother.

I don’t respond to spam or junk mail.

 

Some highlights from Ashu’s stream of Facebook posts. “nobody was posting lies about you all over the internet nobody contacted the green parties with lies about you”

“you may fantasize about flowers and rainbows, but real men fantasize about violence”

 

“i fantasize about violenc

*violence

ain’t nothing wrong with that

that’s what a military officer does

you pathetic civilian coward” “the only way i fantasize about banging her is in the face with punches & kicks

she’s lucky i’m a law abiding citizen” in Reference to someone named “Tonia Zimmerman” when I suggested that he sounded like someone in a lover’s quarrel.

 

Ashu M. G. Solo

You’re (i.e. Daeran is)  despised in the provincial Green Party for being a bootlicker to Finley and for promulgating lies about me You called Finley a “powerful woman.”  She doesn’t look so powerful now that she’s paying a lawyer $300 per hour to defend herself. You’re the biggest hypocrite and idiot ever.  You think because of the Christmas message case, everyone should be able to spread lies about me without consequences including Finley. Finley’s bootlickers including you are despised in the provincial Green Party And you’re one of her bootlickers You raised such an uproar over a truthful blog about Zimmerman and then you threaten to post a libelous blog on me, you hypocritical piece of trash.

Sandra,

I’ve prepared a draft reply to undertakings which provides as little new information as I think can be justified (per your most recent e-mail).  There is, however, a risk in not providing further particulars  that they bring an application and we have to argue in Court about what should, and should not be disclosed as particulars and what may be more appropriately dealt with in the ordinary course of litigation.

If I did not provide the depth of information that I have in response to (i), in my view it is very likely that a Court would order that the information be provided, or that paragraphs 17 and 18 be struck from your Statement of Defence.  These paragraphs are key facts in substantiating information and belief in relation to certain of the allegedly defamatory statements, and the truth of some of the published statements, so it is important that they remain in the Statement of Defence.

Let me know your thoughts.

Yours truly,

Samuel W. Edmondson

Slow progress on tax havens and offshore banking.   We started following the issue more seriously in June 2013.

In 2015 the CRA report about KPMG Canada sending its clients to offshore tax havens helped heighten awareness that we plebeians are footing the tax bills while the wealthy are doing their share, gorging themselves, enjoying the generosity of the plebes.

Then KA-BOOM!   a huge leak.   Many thanks to a courageous soul who is talked about in – –

Invest additional resources to help the CRA crack down on tax evaders and work with international partners to adopt strategies to combat tax avoidance. http://pm.gc.ca/eng/minister-national-revenue-mandate-letter#sthash.EBMEhZH9.dpuf

(Sandra)  Canadians need to be informed and vocal in the international drive to clean things up.  Be relentless in vocalizing support.

Also encouraging: I recall listening to Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, talking with an influential audience in the UK. Carney was very clear on the need and intention to go after offshore banking and tax havens.  (Some of them are offshore the U.K.)   I cannot find the video or any text of such a statement by him.   Will search again when time permits.

Steven Hiatt leads a discussion on A Game as Old as Empire: The Secret World of Economic Hit Men and the Web of Global Corruption.

The authors tell how multinational corporations, governments, powerful individuals, banks, other financial institutions, and quasi-governmental agencies operate to enrich small elites and corporate coffers while often impoverishing masses of people and creating debt and dependency that economically enslave countries for generations. Editor Steve Hiatt, who has worked as an editor and writer for several Bay Area companies, including Apple Computer, Netscape, Progressive Asset Management, and Stanford Research Institute, talks this evening with two of the book’s contributors, Antonia Juhasz, who writes of “Global Uprising: The Web of Resistance” and Ellen Augustine, who writes on “The Philippines, the World Bank, and the Race to the Bottom” –

The Panama Papers: world reacts to huge offshore tax files leak, The Guardian

http://www.theguardian.com/news/live/2016/apr/04/panama-papers-global-reaction-to-huge-leak-of-offshore-tax-files-live

Note:  Go to the URL.   Updates are posted.  Although by today (April 5th), they have not posted re the grilling that David Cameron, Prime Minister of the UK, is taking over his father’s offshore activities since the 1980’s.

Afternoon summary  (April 4)

Here’s a quick summary of reaction so far since the first reports based on the Panama Papers were published by news organisations around the world:

British tax investigators have written to the Guardian and others, seeking the files so they can investigate possible offshore tax evasion.

  • Downing Street has refused to comment on information in the files showing David Cameron’s father, Ian, used offshore techniques to avoid paying UK tax.
  • Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, faces calls for investigation from MPs following allegations about his offshore dealings.
  • Mossack Fonseca has said it cannot comment on individual cases, but says it is a “responsible member of the global financial and business community” and has broken no laws.

 

We have more reaction from Russia. The Kremlin has dismissed revelations contained in the Panama Papers as “Putinophobia” and said that journalists investigating the Russian president’s financial affairs had “found out little new”.

Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, said the publication of leaked offshore files from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca was designed to “destabilise the situation in Russia ahead of elections”.

The Guardian reveals how Peskov’s wife, Tatiana Navka, a former Olympic ice skater, was the registered beneficial owner of a secret offshore firm. Peskov has denied this.
