This video focuses on the sailor who was standing beside Scott Olsen, the war veteran whose skull was fractured by a tear gas canister lobbed by the police.
The police officer who lobbed the canister has by now (Nov 2) been identified. One can have empathy for him, he is no longer anonymous.
Thank goodness for those who help to ensure that the protests (necessary) are peaceful.

Sandra – this is very dangerous gamesplaying by one or more power blocks in the USA – This will bring the OCCUPY movement to a rapid and bloody end. Which, I suspect, is what is wanted. This we do NOT need – especially the last phrase “Support the Troops – We’ll need them to overthrow the Government”. That phrase is a call to mutiny, and will trigger alarm bells in every power centre in America, leading to a swift and violent response.

One thing is certain, if there is no physical protection for the demonstrators then the TROLLS will begin to do what they’ve been doing already. Maybe Jim isn’t aware of the over 400 dead we already have at the hands of these outlaw bastards? The kinds of things that military vets can do is to do what the Sargent did in backing them down, forcing them to THINK about what it is they are doing to Americans each and every day. If enough of the uniformed military show up then that will make the task of creating riots (the real purpose of the various PD units all over this land) a lot harder: Hell this might well lead to a number of defections among the rank and file of theTROLLS which could create far more problems for them than for us: ISN’T THIS THE POINT behind these demonstrations to be able to drive home the idea that we all MUST speak, regardless of the jobs we have or the problems which speaking out will bring?
My point here is that it is up to the public to raise the bar above violence, and in favor of reason, common sense and resolution over revolution – while we still can. There are too many out there who still think that people have no choice in what they choose to do with their lives – there are always choices, and if we want to FREE OURSELVES THEN WE HAVE TO BEGIN TO TAKE SOME CALCULATED RISKS IF WE WANT TO LIVE TO SEE A BETTER TOMORROW.

d. (Not sent to kirwan – – an observation I’d like to make. /S)
STRATEGICALLY SPEAKING
It makes informed Canadians VERY nervous. Aware Americans have the same trepidations.
Strategically, I have urged Canadians to put the information into the hands of every police and military person they know. It is essential that police and military at ground level understand that we are working in their interests, too.
To the extent that we do not build relationships with them, we throw the door wide open for the military to step in. All the dominos are in place, right down to the Troop Exchange Agreement signed February 14, 2008. And now a cross-border police “project” to be rolled out in 2012.
Water shortages in the southwestern U.S.A. are extremely serious and not being dealt with. People cannot live where there isn’t water. We are talking about water for 25 – 30 million people and their industries, including large amounts of food production enabled by irrigagion. More dominos to fall.
The response to “civil unrest” will be military UNLESS, through the OCCUPY movement we can band together across North America to usurp the corporate-military-industrial-university-government power agenda.
I do not see the OCCUPY Marines and OCCUPY Police additions to the struggle as a threat to security. I see them as a welcome addition – they are good people who see what we see. They have an important role to play in taking back what is ours. With faith and confidence in each other it can be done in a way that will move us all to a New Economy and a new way of being in the World. I think Kirwan is right: we have to be willing to take some calculated risks. /Sandra
The battle heats up. More people are active, more are aware of what Canadian authorities do or don’t do.
This is the latest development in the efforts to have George Bush and Company tried for war crimes. The B.C. Attorney General immediately blocked a private prosecution of Bush for torture.
At some point it may be necessary to do what I said needed to be done (2009-09-30): Let’s say that they do not arrest Bush. That would open the way AFTER Bush’s visit, to bring legal action against the responsible persons for failure to carry out their duties under the law.

HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS CONDEMN CANADIAN ATTORNEY GENERAL’S MOVE TO IMMEDIATELY BLOCK TORTURE CASE AGAINST GEORGE W. BUSH
October 24, 2011, Surrey, BC and New York, NY – After successfully lodging a private torture prosecution with a British Columbia court against former U.S. president George W. Bush as he visited Surrey for a paid speaking engagement, four torture victims have had their pursuit of justice blocked by the Attorney General of B.C. The private prosecution was brought on behalf of three former
Guantánamo detainees and one man currently detained at Guantánamo who has been imprisoned without charge for more than nine years. Lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) responded to the Attorney General’s intervention in the case and order that the proceedings be stayed:
Matt Eisenbrandt, legal director of the Canadian Centre for International Justice, who submitted the case on behalf of the torture victims remarked, “Mere hours after a justice of the peace received the criminal information and the court set a hearing date for January, we received notice by phone that the Attorney General of British Columbia had already intervened in the case and stayed the proceedings against former President Bush, effectively ending the case. The legal basis for the case is exceptionally strong under the Criminal Code of Canada, and this private prosecution was initiated because the government of Canada refused to prosecute. The Criminal Code allows us eight days to obtain the consent of the Attorney General of Canada to continue with the prosecution, yet the case was shut down the very day it was filed. This is a slap in the face to the four men who were brutally tortured by Mr. Bush’s government who have a right to have a court of law examine the evidence and hear the legal arguments.”
Katherine Gallagher, senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, added, “The government of Canada obviously did everything it could to protect George Bush from facing criminal accountability for torture, which is a stark example of politics trumping law. The Attorney General still has not given us any reasons in writing for staying the case, but the speed with which it was done shows the case was not treated seriously and the claims of torture by four men imprisoned without charge at Guantánamo Bay were simply ignored. Canada will have to account for its actions and its failure to uphold its obligations as a signatory to the Convention Against Torture before the United Nations Committee Against Torture. At the same time, Mr. Bush will need to be exceedingly careful about where he travels. He has caused harm to so many – including those who were tortured in U.S.-run detention facilities – and he remains vulnerable to prosecution in any of the other 145 countries that have signed the Convention Against Torture, as long as the United States continues to breach its own obligations under the Convention.”

A bit of a background brief on who Vancouver Lawyer Gail Davidson is, and what we are protesting today in Surrey. Gail is the co-founder of the group Lawyers Against the War. She has been pursuing the bringing to justice in Canada, of the accused war criminals in the Bush administration, and doing so within parameters of our existing laws & treaty obligations since 2003.
Since that time the accumulation of evidence of war crimes, and specifically torture, including that of Canadians in places like Abu Graib, Guantanamo, and at ‘black sites’ leaves little doubt both written & on video, including major TV news networks, and now published by way of admissions in the memoirs of both Bush & Cheney, that they approved illegal methods of interrogation.
Since 2009, when George Bush was first admitted to Canada on speaking engagements, Gail has been tirelessly writing letters citing the responsibilities of the Canadian government & the RCMP to act by enforcing our laws under the Immigration Act, Article 35.1, which demand that they be denied entry, or that an admissibility hearing be ordered and that he be detained. Our various international treaty obligations i.e. the Geneva Conventions on Torture, the Rome Statute (International Criminal Court) and others require that we either refuse entry, or arrest, detain, and either open an investigation into the many registered allegations, or extradite them to jurisdictions that agree to. The US does not qualify, and extradition there is not permitted.
Gail has been informed recently that the RCMP, as a matter of policy, will only arrest suspected war criminals who are residing within Canada, and that any exceptions are decided by a committee of RCMP brass & politicians. Ultimately the order for the RCMP to act comes from the Attorney General of Canada, Robert Nicholson. This ‘policy’ is in direct violation of our laws, and contravenes our international treaty obligations as ratified in Canada’s parliament.
On Sept. 23rd NDP Immigration Critic MP Don Davies released a letter to the press in his official capacity challenging Minister of Immigration Jason Kenney to act to bar Dick Cheney as required by the Immigration Act, in a press conference hosted by Gail, Derrick O’Keefe of stopwar.ca, and myself representing the World Federalist Movement – Canada. Since that historic moment the world press has been very attentive, and many other organizations including the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Amnesty International, and human Rights Watch have produced their own dossiers of evidence against Bush, Cheney & others.
There are dozens of organizations around the world demanding that these men be brought to justice, and the efforts of Gail and her group Lawyers Against the War are well know. Today, several esteemed organizations are supporting four individuals who allege they were tortured during George W. Bush’s tenure as President of the United States, and will lodge a private prosecution in Provincial Court in Surrey. This is in reaction to the Canadian Government’s ongoing illegal provision of safe haven to these accused war criminals.
For today’s visit to Canada of George W. Bush, the Canadian Border Services have been advised that a suspected war criminal will be attempting entry, the RCMP have been reminded of their duty to arrest him, and of their duty to protect the rights of citizens to protest peacefully. Gail Davison is going to Surrey in advance of the arrival of Bush & Clinton to speak at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit at the Sheraton Hotel, to speak to the RCMP at the Surrey detachment, for the purpose of making a public demand that Canada’s laws be followed today.
There is worry among organizers that peaceful protesters could be arrested, and their rights to protest restricted. Of course there are those who would insist that aggression is acceptable in the face of the RCMP’s refusal to arrest Bush, and we hope that the protest will not get out of hand.

Census opponent appeals conviction
A 61-year-old Saskatoon woman is asking a Queen’s Bench judge to overturn her conviction for refusing to fill out Statistics Canada’s formerly-mandatory long form census in 2006.
Justice Dan Konkin reserved his decision on Sandra Finley’s appeal until an unspecified later date after hearing arguments Wednesday from her lawyer and two federal Crown prosecutors.
A provincial court judge granted Finley an absolute discharge – allowing her to avoid any penalty or criminal record – earlier this year, after convicting her of failing to comply with the census.
Finley was charged before a policy change by the federal government last summer made completion of the long-form census voluntary rather than mandatory, removing the threat of criminal prosecution, fines and jail for failure to answer personal questions.
At her trial last year, and again during her appeal hearing, defence lawyer Steven Sieferling argued the census violated Finley’s constitutional right to privacy.
Finley has said her refusal to complete the census was a form of protest against the federal government conducting business with a Canadian subsidiary of U.S.-based Lockheed Martin, a massive defence contractor, aerospace manufacturer and technology company.
“I will have done more harm than good if the judge’s ‘guilty’ decision is allowed to stand,” she wrote in a statement sent to media outlets before Wednesday’s hearing.
“I see this as part of the Occupy movement that will bring an end to governments/universities that serve the corporate interest. The interests of the military-industrial complex in government and in the universities, with taxpayers footing the bill, needs to be stopped.”

On November 19-22, 2011, the trial of George W Bush (former U.S. President) and Anthony L Blair (former British Prime Minister) will be held in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first time that war crimes charges will be heard against the two former heads of state in compliance with proper legal process.
Charges are being brought against the accused by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC) following the due process of the law. The Commission, having received complaints from war victims in Iraq in 2009, proceeded to conduct a painstaking and an in-depth investigation for close to two years and in 2011, constituted formal charges on war crimes against Bush, Blair and their associates.
The Iraq invasion in 2003 and its occupation had resulted in the death of 1.4 million Iraqis. Countless others had endured torture and untold hardship. The cries of these victims have thus far gone unheeded by the international community. The fundamental human right to be heard has been denied to them.
As a result, the KLWCC had been established in 2008 to fill this void and act as a peoples’ initiative to provide an avenue for such victims to file their complaints and let them have their day in a court of law.
The first charge against George W Bush and Anthony L Blair is for Crimes Against Peace wherein:
The Accused persons had committed Crimes against Peace, in that the Accused persons planned, prepared and invaded the sovereign state of Iraq on 19 March 2003 in violation of the United Nations Charter and international law.
The second charge is for Crime of Torture and War Crimes against eight citizens of the United States and they are namely George W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo. wherein:
The Accused persons had committed the Crime of Torture and War Crimes, in that: The Accused persons had wilfully participated in the formulation of executive orders and directives to exclude the applicability of all international conventions and laws, namely the Convention against Torture 1984, Geneva Convention III 1949, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Charter in relation to the war launched by the U.S. and others in Afghanistan (in 2001) and in Iraq (in March 2003); Additionally, and/or on the basis and in furtherance thereof, the Accused persons authorised, or connived in, the commission of acts of torture and cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment against victims in violation of international law, treaties and conventions including the Convention against Torture 1984 and the Geneva Conventions, including Geneva Convention III 1949.
The trial will be held before the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, which is constituted of imminent persons with legal qualifications.
The judges of the Tribunal, which is headed by retired Malaysian Federal Court judge Dato’ Abdul Kadir Sulaiman, also include other notable names such as Mr Alfred Lambremont Webre, a Yale graduate, who authored several books on politics, Dato’ Zakaria Yatim, retired Malaysian Federal Court judge, Tunku Sofiah Jewa, practising lawyer and author of numerous publications on International Law, Prof Salleh Buang, former Federal Counsel in the Attorney-General Chambers and prominent author, Prof Niloufer Bhagwat, an expert in Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and International Law, and Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi, prominent academic and professor of law.
The Tribunal will adjudicate and evaluate the evidence presented as in any court of law. The judges of the Tribunal must be satisfied that the charges are proven beyond reasonable doubt and deliver a reasoned judgement.
In the event the tribunal convicts any of the accused, the only sanction is that the name of the guilty person will be entered in the Commission’s Register of War Criminals and publicised worldwide. The tribunal is a tribunal of conscience and a peoples’ initiative.
The prosecution for the trial will be lead by Prof Gurdial S Nijar, prominent law professor and author of several law publications and Prof Francis Boyle, leading American professor, practitioner and advocate of international law, and assisted by a team of lawyers.
The trial will be held in an open court on November 19-22, 2011 at the headquarters of the Al- Bukhary Foundation at Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur.
By The Canadian Centre for International Justice and Center for Constitutional Rights | October 19, 2011
October 19, 2011, Surrey, BC – On Oct. 20, four individuals who allege they were tortured during George W. Bush’s tenure as president of the United States will lodge a private prosecution in Provincial Court in Surrey, British Columbia, against the former president, who is due to visit Canada for a paid speaking engagement at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit on the same day. The four men will take this step after repeated calls to the Canadian attorney general to open a torture investigation of George Bush went unanswered. Human rights groups and prominent individuals will sign on in support of the effort.
The four men — Hassan bin Attash, Sami el-Hajj, Muhammed Khan Tumani and Murat Kurnaz — each endured years of inhumane treatment including beatings, chaining to cell walls, being hung from walls or ceilings while handcuffed, lack of access to toilets, sleep, food and water-deprivation, exposure to extreme temperatures, sensory overload and deprivation, and other horrific and illegal treatment while in U.S. custody at military bases in Afghanistan and/or at the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay. While three of the plaintiffs have since been released without ever facing charges, Hassan Bin Attash still remains in detention at Guantánamo Bay, though he too has not been formally charged with any wrongdoing.
“I lost my family, my father, my health, my education because of George Bush. Although I was completely innocent, I lost nearly 10 years of my life,” said former Guantánamo detainee and torture survivor Muhammed Khan Tumani. “I suffered greatly while detained at Guantánamo, and continue to suffer. I have restrictions on my travel and cannot travel to see my father who is ill. George Bush must face justice and be held accountable for his actions, which continue to cause me and so many harm.”
On Sept. 29, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) submitted a 69-page page draft indictment to Attorney General Robert Nicholson, along with more than 4,000 pages of supporting material, setting forth the case against Bush for torture. The indictment, incorporated into the criminal information lodged Wednesday, contends that by Bush’s own admission he sanctioned and authorized acts that constitute torture under the Canadian criminal code and the Convention Against Torture (CAT).
Katherine Gallagher, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) who is assisting the plaintiffs, said, “George Bush’s brazen admission to authorizing torture techniques and unlawful detentions, including enforced disappearances, must not be met with indifference. His years of impunity must come to an end. Even if the United States has failed to meet its obligations to hold torturers accountable, Canada has an opportunity and a legal obligation to position itself on the right side of history and the law.”
Matt Eisenbrandt, legal director of the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ), who will submit the filing on men’s behalf, added, “Canadian law could not be clearer. If an alleged torturer is present in Canada, the government has the power to prosecute. As a signatory of the Convention Against Torture, Canada has an obligation to initiate an investigation when Mr. Bush sets foot in this country.”
More than 50 human rights organizations from around the world and prominent individuals signed on to support the call for George W. Bush’s prosecution, including former UN Special Rapporteurs on Torture, Theo van Boven and Manfred Nowak, the International Federation for Human Rights, and the Canadian-based International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group. A number of the human rights organizations which signed on are facing the on-going harms of the “counterterrorism” policies advanced under the Bush administration and then adopted or employed in their own countries.
Former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Manfred Nowak, said: “The main aim of the UN Convention Against Torture was to eradicate safe havens for persons who commit, order, or participate in acts of torture worldwide. States parties to the Convention, including Canada, have a legal obligation to arrest all persons suspected of torture with the aim of bringing them to justice. There is plenty of evidence that President Bush authorized enhanced interrogation methods against suspected terrorists, some of which clearly amount to torture, such as waterboarding.”
Last February, the Center for Constitutional Rights, along with other human rights organizations, attempted to initiate criminal proceedings against Bush during a private speaking engagement in Geneva, but he canceled after news of the planned prosecution came to light. Following the cancellation, CCR and the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights released the “Bush Torture Indictment,” which can serve as the basis for country-specific indictments against Bush in any of the 147 countries that have ratified the UN Convention Against Torture or have universal jurisdiction laws for torture.
Prior to the filing of this case, CCR and the CCIJ twice (on Sept. 29, 2011 and Oct. 14, 2011) petitioned Canadian Minister of Justice and Attorney General Robert Nicholson by letter to launch a criminal investigation against Bush during his Oct. 20 visit to Canada, but received no response. George Bush and former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney both recently made trips to Canada, without any legal consequence.
