The five Cockrings of Death

When does a man have right to fight without being called a Terrorist.

Terrorist is a powerful word, label placed on violence that can never be accepted in a civilize society.

It uses to be said that one man terrorist is another man freedom fighter.

American have listed dozens of organizations and labelled them as terrorist but 9/11 has changed everything, you’re either with the foreign American policy or you’re a part of the axes of evil, you’re with the terrorists.

9/11 marked a new phase in human history; the US introduced a new doctrine that aimed to eradicate anything it considered terrorism. An ideological world wind swept through the west political institution media think tanks. An attempt by neocon politician to redefine the world; they called it the global war on terror. Word used in order to escalate the conflict beyond simply the perpetrators of 9/11. The war on terror phrase was used to provide a moral basis for a conflict that have only purpose to secure western interest in the East for generations, but how does this war on terror unfold in countries where these western army are seen as the occupation.

There is no global consensus on terrorism; the pro American governments define it, as the deliberate targeting of civilians, excluding bombs dropped on population centers during war times, arguing dishonestly that the killing of civilians is never the intent in war time. For peoples being bombed, it doesn't matter if it was intended or not, action by state actor or not there is something else defined by the west as state terrorism.

Americans decide who is a terrorist and who is freedom fighter; all the government that help in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan had their despot and unconstitutional rulers legitimized and turned to heroes by the west. But the resistance that wants to stop the killing, the destruction, the corruption, and the occupation are labelled terrorist.

The world nation can't agree on workable definition, as the right definition should include the terrorism caused by the west, so the difficulty that causes problem to the intellectuals and politicians, the struggle to find and graft a workable definition that won't be restricted to the west definition of terrorism. A definition restricted to the terror against the US but exclude the US terror against others.

Despite the lack of agreement within United Nations or consensus among academics and politicians; it is very easy in the US to tell who is a terrorist, they have the list. After 9/11 several groups and individuals were added to the list, individuals and groups that are heavily scrutinize. Anyone linked to these organizations was investigated, those suspected of providing funds or aids were arrested, most of the time without the necessary proof. Most of them were tortured or even killed without legal proceeding, but not on a western soil, the suspected terrorists were packed and shipped to some allies countries where torture is still a normal practice.

It seemed that terrorism according to the west definition is the only one dictating the world rules, but there is lot of inconsistency, it seems that some terrorist organizations are more accepted than others. Some listed organizations are more useful to the neocons plans than other. They're far from being investigated or persecuted, congress pass resolutions praising this groups and the CIA provide them covered funding. The enemies of my enemies are my friends even if they're on the list.

The US has constructed it first new military doctrine without a clear definition of who is the enemy. The west seems locked in a conflict based on a borderless, timeless, and unsuccessful war on terror.

Goverment of Occupation.

2009 Poverty Olympics

On Sunday, I attended the 2009 Poverty Olympics that took place in the Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The theme this was "End Poverty. It's not a game".

The event started with the Torch Parade that left the VANDU office, 380 E Hastings, the parade was formed of about 200 peoples accompanied by the big sound of band's drums and other instruments.

The parade walked down to Main where the symbolic torch was passed to another person under the chanting and applause of the audience formed by the parade participants and some onlookers. Then everybody walked and danced in circle in the intersection at Main and E Hastings for while under the sound of the music. The parade heated back on E Hastings to Dunelevy for another torch pass. From Dunelevy the parade walked to Alexander, everybody was chanting, dancing, and having fun. On Alexander the parade marched to the Japanese Language School, where the second annual Poverty Olympics' events were planned to take place.

Inside, the events started with the opening ceremonies hosted by the mascots Itchy the bed bug and Chewy the rat. There was the unveiling of the End of Poverty Torch with the Poverty Olympics Choir, followed by an Aboriginal spiritual song.

All a long, during the opening and the games, the host voiced some interesting facts;

Did you know?

- That just a few blocks from the luxury condos of the Olympics' athlete's village were bunch of our money are spend on bailouts, the HIV is as high as in Botswana;

- That the highest rate of child poverty in Canada is found in British Columbia;

- That 32% of the homeless in the lower mainland are Aboriginals while they only form 2% of the population;

- That in the last six years homelessness went up to an outrageous 373%;

- That billions are spent on the Olympics venues while small change is spent on housing the homeless;

- That you and me will be paying over 6 billion dollars that will spent by the end of the coming Olynpics, money that could built lot of new unit for social housing, raise welfare, lower the barriers that keep people in real needs from getting the aid they desperately need.

Like all Olympics, the event ended with the medal ceremony, but there was no looser in this one they were all winners.

The event was concluded by a cakes, snacks, and a pictures with the mascots.

The Poverty Olympics used good humor to portray the big corporations and their hunger for profits on the backs of the poor and the distressed, it also showed how the coming Olympics are the wrong way to spend public money while homelessness and poverty are growing at an alarming level in our beautiful province, apparently the best place in the world. 

The latest Victims of the 2010

The BC Supreme Court has ruled for the removal of the Falun Gong protest billboards and hut outside the Chinese Consulate on Granville Street. The city was granted an injunction under the pretext that the group breached some street structure bylaw.

The Falun Gong has maintained that hut and those billboards for over seven years to protest their consistent persecution and torture by the Chinese government.

Their values and beliefs were perceived by the Chinese government as a distinction from the Marxist-atheist ideology and a challenge to the party rule. They were banned from practice in 1999. Since then a massive crackdown begun on the group; criminalization, torture, illegal imprisonment, and psychiatric abuse were used to persecute practitioners. Several human right investigators reported the ongoing practice of systematic organ harvesting from living Falung Gong practitioners in China. The terror campaign doesn't stop there, the party uses everything they could to persecute the group, the education system, the workplace, family members, and a large scale of media propaganda.

During the past seven year, the dismantlement of the billboards and banners was ordered only once in 2006, by the former mayor after major pressure from an important economic partner; the Chinese government. Then, the freedom of expression prevailed, but today they are fighting against more powerful forces; the Olympics.

Not only the Canadian Government failed them in doing nothing against the human rights violation in China, but now because of the upcoming of the 2010 Olympics, the BC government and the city have raised some concerns that were absent for seven years and under the pretext of some kind of bylaw they are depraving this group of one of the most fundamental rule of a democratic society; the freedom of expression.

The Silent War

While surfing the net, I stumbled on a call out for people to come speak at City Council against the proposed City Bylaw Changes for the coming 2010 Olympic and the Olympic Village. 

The Call out was only publicized on the "NO 2010 Olympic on Stolen Native Land" www.no2010.com

Curious I looked bit deeper into it and find out that the reasons this web page's host resisted the 2010 Olympic made lot of sense to me and he have ten good reasons, and they all looked legit to me.

The Olympics are a global industry worth billion and billion backed by the western elites, to make more money and force their way on the world. Throughout history the Olympics were a way to strengthen colonialism, fascism, and help legitimate state terror under the cover of the athletic excellence.

I attended the debate at City Council thinking that the chamber will be full of people prep to talk against the violation of civil liberty, the housing problems in the east side, and the hundreds of millions from the tax payers, that will end up in some fat corporations pockets. But to my deception there were more reporters and City Councilors than the hand full of people willing to speak their mind and call for the legitimate truth.

The hand full of speaker presented their arguments, they spoke about past experiences with big event and the police comportment, the violation of civil liberty, the police riots, the massive arrest, the right to protest without fear of arrest or sanctions, the housing crisis, and more.

At the end of the debate the city councilors, all voted to bail out the Olympic village by borrowing more money that the tax payer will have to pay, as if they were not there during the debate.

All arguments presented didn't change anything, the councilors did what they assembled to do and no legitimate argument was gone change their decision, it was all a lies.

The colonial powers waging war on the peaceful people of the Middle East are waging a different kind of war on the natives, the poor people, and the homeless of Vancouver. The war here is not done bombs and rockets but it's a smarter one, a silent one, with the same result at the end to push people out of their houses and land. We must do something.
