Protest groups possible security threat: CSIS
Last Updated Fri, 06 Jun 2003
[Fundamentalist Christianity is regarded as "religious extremism"]
OTTAWA - Some Canadian animal rights,
anti-globalization and white supremacist groups may pose a terrorist
threat, revealed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's latest annual
report.
The report, released Thursday, also claims that Canada is a target for
terrorist activity because it supports the U.S. anti-terrorism campaign.
Canada's spy agency listed religious extremism as its top
terrorist concern, while aboriginals, separatists and environmentalists
were not mentioned in the report.
Solicitor General Wayne Easter defended the inclusion of domestic
lobbies in the report, adding that Canadians should not be complacent
about terrorist threats.
"The Canadian Security Intelligence Service… is aware of emerging
terrorist threats and tactics that could have severe
consequences for Canadians," Easter said.
NDP Leader Jack Layton said, "It looks as though CSIS is lumping
together anyone who disagrees with the government."
[Thanks for stating the obvious for us Jack. So now you can look like a hero to liberty, and be an "extremist socialist" at the same time.
Why wasn't this an important issue to you when you
were making DEALS with the LIBERAL government to help them survive and
continue their pirate rule over this country? Perhaps you actually agree with
it?]
Rob Sinclair, a campaigner with the International Fund for Animal Welfare,
said equating animal rights groups with white supremacists was offensive.
"It sounds like CSIS is once again completely out to lunch," Sinclair said.
Bill Moore-Kilgannon of the Council of Canadians was also critical of the
report saying, "We're concerned about the implications for the average citizen
who will go out to a protest march, whether or not they're going to be put on
some blacklist."
Canadian Alliance MP Kevin Sorenson, who sat on the Commons security
committee, said he doesn't have a problem with CSIS monitoring domestic
organizations but he is bothered that the report omits to mention groups
such as the Tamil Tigers.
[Are you finally starting to piece together what CSIS is up to?
Have you figured out why the "federal government" gave this group nearly 9 BILLION dollars to monitor "terrorism"?
If you are: simply a
follower of Jesus Christ; or believe that
"authority over self" is the only legitimate authority; or that Law
is the product of fundamental [common] principles of justice rather than
boundless government contrivance; or support national sovereignty and rule,
etc.. you are considered by
CSIS to be a terrorist under their definition of the
"anti-terrorism/hatecrimes" Act]

Intelligence Sources Say Bilderberg Targeting Patriots
- Despite the over 10 Billion given CSIS under the 'anti-terror/hatecrimes' legislation,
- CSIS are now whining about "a lack of funding", and threatening Canadians about
- coming terror attacks...... You should be outraged!!
As you know, CSIS agents were exposed in the "Toronto Terror cell" as being
involved in the recruiting and training of the alleged cell, and even arranged to
buy the fertilizer from the RCMP.
It should be of great concern that this group is now trying to instil public fear and
panic with the threat of a "dirty bomb" which consists of radioactive material that is
exceedingly difficult to get hold of without buying it from a government source.

A newly released Canadian Security Intelligence Service study concludes a so-called dirty bomb is the most likely means of deliberately spreading deadly radiation. But the CSIS study cautions that "a determined and resourceful terrorist group" could execute more elaborate forms of nuclear or radiological attack. ["Determined and resourceful terrorist group" Translation: One of the several CSIS black op groups with a working budget in the Billions; access to radioactive material; and a secret mandate to 'scare the public into granting them more money and power'. You might relate to them as a criminal syndicate running a protection racket. This fear mongering campaign is remarkably similar to ones conducted (frequently during elections) in the United States and Britain, and reminds us of the flap that the Vancouver Police Chief caused when he let the cat out of the bag too soon, and then lied that he had ever made the comments. See Story HERE..] It says extremists could conceivably acquire an existing nuclear explosive device, fashion an improvised weapon from black-market material or sabotage a nuclear facility with the aim of triggering a radioactive release. A copy of the October study was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. CSIS relies mainly on previously published research and analysis in assessing the threats, though brief passages were deemed too sensitive to disclose. [Probably the ones referring to CSIS trying to recruit members willing to detonate such a device..... Often they tell "anti-terror" recruits they are part of a "drill" but are given a real device instead of one they were told was inert. That is precisely what was disclosed in the 1993 World Trade center Bombing. See Story HERE ] The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States raised fears that extremists could crash a jetliner into a nuclear reactor or get their hands on material to craft a rudimentary dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device. [Which could simply be averted by putting in secure locking doors on the cockpit entrance, and once again allowing pilots to carry firearms. Instead, the government made YOU a suspect, and now have to go through a prisoner-like screening before you board an aircraft. See the below story....]
Armed pilots banned 2 months before 9-11 "The technical capability required to construct and use a simple RDD is practically trivial, compared to that of a nuclear explosive device or even most chemical or biological weapons," the CSIS study says. [It would have to be easy... otherwise
it would be impossible for cave dwellers with candles to construct
them...
A homemade radiological weapon could consist of a conventional explosive laced with radioactive material commonly found at universities, medical and research laboratories or industrial sites. [Come off it.... The amount of radioactive material used by those groups wouldn't even half fit into a small shot glass, and the relatively low level contamination could be easily dealt with in a few days... The only purpose of the so-called "dirty bomb" is to crudely spread a relatively large amount of radiological material, in order to contaminate a large area. This requires MORE material than a nuclear bomb, because the radiological material is not converted to energy, and therefore is containable (with special cleaning material and techniques). The dirty bomb is more an instrument of inconvenience than terror, since it is unlikely to cause many deaths or injuries, apart from being unfortunate enough to be standing close to it when it goes off, or not being treated for any contamination if you happen to be assigned to clean-up. ] Several isotopes used in applications including cancer treatment and industrial radiography have been identified as possible sources. However, CSIS notes, much would depend on the material's half-life, the amount of radioactivity present, the portability of the source and the ease with which it could be dispersed. [YA THINK???] Experts say such an explosion, while claiming few initial casualties, could spread radiation over a wide area, contaminating several city blocks, sowing panic and wreaking economic havoc. [That's the key phrase folks.... "sowing panic"..... which is what they want. Who knows how big the CSIS budget will climb to after they set one of these off. And they'll have a nice little pretext for the national ID card, and the North American Union.] Canadian organizations have quietly spent hundreds of millions of dollars since 9-11 to secure nuclear reactors, mines, research facilities and laboratories that handle radiological material. [And Canadian governments have quietly given BILLIONS of dollars since 9-11 to secret and largely unaccountable government "intelligence" organizations, who have been caught time and time again staging false flag terrorism on their own citizens. ] CSIS contends detonation of a crude bomb is "undoubtedly the most likely" terrorist scenario involving radioactive sources. [And WE CONTEND, CSIS is the most likely organization likely to detonate such a device on Canadian soil, AND that such a detonation will be followed with draconian government legislation, which may include martial law policy.] "Indeed, it is quite surprising that the world has not yet witnessed such an attack," the study says, adding "it appears that we are positively overdue for one." [Heck folks, they are practically confessing already...... We doubt it will be more than a year or two before this very thing occurs.... and you will be ahead of the curve in knowing who is the most likely suspect. Please watch out for drills in your area, because these nearly always preclude such events.] The intelligence service points to the notion terrorist thinking has shifted from the desire to inflict mass casualties to "one of inflicting severe economic damage." [Wow, are these guys good or what? They even know what the terrorists think..... Imagine that.] Despite the assessment, the study provides little sense of the actual likelihood of a radiological or nuclear strike, said Prof. Wade Deisman, a criminologist and director of the University of Ottawa's national security project. [Oooops.... Was that a Freudian slip guys? How did we go from talking about dirty bombs to "nuclear strikes"??? Oh, that's right... you can read minds.] A more detailed CSIS analysis would be needed to develop such a measuring stick, Deisman said. [You forgot to ask for more money!!] "They need to have an idea of how to prioritize their responses to threats based on their probabilities. And I still am far from convinced that they have any sense of that." Security agencies need to assure the public they have a grasp of the risks, systems in place to protect key facilities and the resources to respond to emergencies, Deisman added. [Ah, there it is. It's like we were reading their minds!]

CSIS can't screen 90% of immigrants
Most applicants from terror hotbeds escape scrutiny, No. 2 spy admits
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 About 90 per cent of immigration applicants from Pakistan and Afghanistan -- hotbeds for Islamic fundamentalism and central in the fight against terrorism -- haven't been adequately screened for security concerns over the past five years, Canada's spy agency said yesterday. The No. 2 man at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said his organization simply doesn't have the resources necessary to do all the security checks it would like. Jack Hooper, deputy director of operations for the service, told a Senate national security committee about 20,000 immigrants have come from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Canada since 2001. "We're in a position to vet one-tenth of those," he said. "That may be inadequate." Asked if that meant CSIS wasn't completely satisfied about 90 per cent of the immigrants coming into the country from that region, Mr. Hooper responded "that's correct." Committee chairman and Liberal Senator Colin Kenny suggested in an interview 10- per-cent coverage was unacceptable. "We have resourcing problems that have to be addressed" at Canada's spy and police services, Mr. Kenny said. "I hope they will be." Currently, CSIS vets only a handful of cases from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Asked yesterday whether warnings about citizens from specific countries, such as Pakistan and Afghanistan, could inadvertently stoke fear about legitimate refugees and immigrants, Mr. Kenny said they shouldn't. "What we've been hearing was, (CSIS is) not satisfied that they have done due diligence," he said. "They didn't say that there's a bad guy getting in, they said 'we don't know.' " One senator asked why Canada was fighting in Afghanistan, where there are approximately 2,300 Canadian Forces personnel, if it can't even close its own borders to outside threats. Mr. Hooper argued regional dynamics a world away have effects here as well. He said following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, foreign intelligence began pouring in about threats to Canada. Each individual identified, he said, had some connection to Afghanistan. For all the worries regarding external issues, Mr. Hooper added the threats from internal, "homegrown" extremists are now on equal footing. He suggested the number of second- and third-generation extremists, born and raised in Canada and able to easily blend into the population, is on the rise. In addition, non-traditional adherents to Islamist extremism are making the switch. "We have cases of white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants converting to the most radical forms of Islam," he said. "These are people who blend in with us and our neighbours." CSIS warnings about the domestic threat are not new, and have been especially plentiful since the London transit bombings last summer. Those attacks were the work of British-born fanatics. Mr. Hooper suggested CSIS does a good job of containing the threats it knows about, but the "unknowns" present a more serious challenge. "We stay up at night worrying about the threats we don't know about, and we always used to work on a ratio of 10 to one," he explained. "For every one we knew, there was probably 10 out there that we didn't. I worry that the ratio has increased."

Missing passports useless, feds say
By CP
Although tens of thousands of lost or stolen Canadian passports have fallen into
criminal hands over the last few years, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said
yesterday that swift action rendered
the documents useless.
"(The missing passport) is immediately communicated onto the policing networks
and into the border agencies and that's done on a 24/7 basis," he said. "Those
passports are immediately annulled
and deactivated."
Le Journal de Montreal reported yesterday 50,000 lost and stolen passports
may
have fallen into terrorist hands.
TERROR TIES PROBED
Day said the number was actually closer to 35,000.
The newspaper said it uncovered the information in documents from RCMP head
Giuliano Zaccardelli to Day last Feb.
6, obtained under the Access to Information Act.
Investigators were looking into whether the phony passport suppliers were
terrorists
or had ties to terrorist groups.
Day said Canada works with Interpol to ensure international policing bodies are
alerted. "It effectively shuts down
somebody being able to use that," he said.

Why did Canada’s security agencies allow the alleged terror plot to grow?
By Keith Jones 10 June 2006
Media reports, largely based on government, police and Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) sources, indicate that Canada’s security forces allowed the alleged Toronto terror plot to take shape and grow over many months, even years, and that they did so with the approval of their political superiors.These reports, and the record of Canada’s police-security forces, strongly suggest that the alleged terrorists, almost all of them young men and boys, were manipulated by one or more agent provocateurs.
Since last Saturday, the minority Conservative government, the CSIS, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and the corporate media have sought to incite public fear with claims that only prompt action by police-security forces spared Canadians from a series of atrocities plotted by a group of seventeen Al Qaeda-inspired terrorists. Speaking at a press conference last weekend, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mike McDonnell said that the alleged Toronto-based terrorist group “posed a real threat. It had the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks.”
But the story that emerges from a close reading of the press reports is very different: the Toronto group’s every move was being closely monitored by the state; security forces long had sufficient incriminating evidence to arrest many or all of the 17, but did not do so, preferring to “smash the terrorist plot” at a time of their choosing and in a manner suited to their and the government’s purposes; when some of the group allegedly did seek to obtain materials to make a sizeable bomb, those with whom they contracted to take a shipment of ammonium nitrate fertilizer were undercover police operatives.
The CSIS and the RCMP say members of the alleged terrorist group were under surveillance since 2004. Senior ministers in the current government and its Liberal predecessor admit to having been made aware months ago of the police-intelligence operation against the Toronto group. Liberal Party Public Security Minister Anne McClellan and Defence Minister Bill Graham were apprised at the latest by December 2005.
Christie Blatchford, a Globe and Mail crime reporter well known for serving as a conduit for the police and prosecution, reported Thursday that by last December, when some of the group allegedly participated in a guerrilla training camp in rural Ontario, the authorities “had plenty of evidence” to make arrests. Commandos from Canada’s elite special operations military unit, Joint Task Force-2, were deployed only a few minutes’ helicopter ride from the camp, and an RCMP-CSIS surveillance team closely scrutinized the activities there. Yet the only intervention mounted by state authorities was to convince residents of the nearby village of Washago—who had become aware of the obtrusive training camp in their midst—not to tip off the “terrorist suspects” that villagers were aware of their presence.
Blatchford says her security service sources told her that as their lengthy surveillance progressed, “they could hardly believe ... what had happened to the relatively innocuous little group of rank amateurs with which they had begun.”
In other words, the state authorities, according to the admission of their own security operatives, watched as a terrorist group developed, choosing not to intervene when they had ample evidence to make arrests and lay criminal charges.
The length and intensity of state surveillance, the willingness of state authorities to allow the alleged terror conspiracy to grow, and the fact that members of the group were ultimately caught in an RCMP-CSIS sting operation all strongly suggest that the group was infiltrated.
According to Blatchford, the CSIS had called the alleged terrorists “in for interviews at an early stage of its lengthy investigation, frankly hoping to scare them off.” In fact, such interviews, as well as the type of harassment to which one of the accused, Fahim Ahmed, was subjected, are classic techniques for “turning” people into informants and provocateurs.
According to a Globe and Mail article by Hayly Mick and Colin Freeze, Ahmed had complained about a year ago to the imam of a suburban Toronto Islamic center that CSIS agents had convinced a prospective employer not to hire him, and Ahmed’s wife soon thereafter separately complained to the imam that CSIS agents had pushed her when they showed up at her house while her husband was out.
Canada’s security forces have a long history of “dirty tricks” and provocations, including keeping alive the terrorist Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) in the early 1970s after it had collapsed due to state repression and the bankruptcy of its own petty-bourgeois nationalist political perspective. Revelations of RCMP illegal activities forced the Trudeau Liberal government to strike a royal commission, which resulted in the creation of a new security service, the CSIS, legally empowered to do many things that the RCMP had done illegally.
Under the Anti-Terrorism Act rushed through Canada’s parliament in the weeks immediately following the September 2001 terrorist attacks, the rules of evidence have been changed so as to enable state authorities, in the name of national security, to prevent the accused in terrorist cases, their lawyers, and the public from ever knowing the exact nature and source of key parts of the prosecution’s evidence.
This will make it all the more difficult to determine in this and other cases where terrorist conspiracy, if any, ended and where the manipulation and provocation of Canada’s security agencies began.
The CSIS, the RCMP, Liberals like Anne McClellan, the Globe and Mail and National Post, and last but not least Stephen Harper and his Conservatives have long complained that “Canadians don’t get it” when it comes to terrorism. By this they mean that the public has been resistant to proclamations of the establishment that Canada is a frontline state in the “war on terrorism,” and must therefore undergo dramatic changes in its domestic, military and foreign policies akin to those pushed through by Bush, Britain’s Tony Blair and Australia’s John Howard.
These forces have welcomed the alleged Toronto terror plot as a so-called “wake-up call” for Canadians.
For the minority Conservative government, which faces widespread popular opposition to last month’s decision to dramatically expand the Canadian Armed Forces’ intervention in Afghanistan and to its drive for still closer relations with the Bush administration, the Toronto terror “sensation” has provided a convenient vehicle to press for a sharp lurch right.
While the government has not yet announced any dramatic policy shifts, it has signaled that it will table new anti-terrorist measures in the fall session of Parliament, and Public Security Minister Stockwell Day has announced that Canada’s foreign intelligence capacity will be greatly expanded. According to Day, it only remains to be determined whether this will be done by changing the mandate of the CSIS or establishing a new foreign Canadian security service.
The Globe and Mail seized on the alleged Toronto terrorist plot to editorialize for no weakening of the Anti-Terrorism Act, now up for a mandatory 5-year review, while the Post has called for “billions more” to expand the personnel of the CSIS and the RCMP.

Egyptian-born father of terror suspect says arrests are 'crazy'
TORONTO (CP) - Fifteen of 17 Ontario terror suspects appeared in a Brampton court Saturday afternoon, shackled in hand and leg cuffs in a courtroom that resembled an armed camp.The father of accused Shareef Abdelhaleen, a 30-year-old computer programmer from nearby Mississauga, said the charges made no sense.
"I am shocked," said the Egyptian immigrant who came to Canada with his son 20 years ago and is an engineer on contract with Atomic Energy of Canada. "It's crazy. It has no meaning whatsoever."
The senior Abdelhaleen also confirmed that he posted bail for Mohammad Mahjoub who is currently in Kingston, Ont., on a national security certificate.
One woman wept as the men and teenage boys were led into the courtroom five at a time, saying her son was yet to appear but that she was upset at the sight of his friends in custody.
Most of the accused were wearing street clothes, although some appeared in white jump suits.
The majority sported the traditional Muslim male beard.
Earlier on Saturday, a bag of ammonium nitrate was displayed by police as they revealed that an "al-Qaida" inspired group of mostly Canadian citizens had amassed three tonnes of the fertilizer commonly used to make explosives for deadly ends.
[Lets not forget that 'Al-Qaida' got its start with the CIA giving them 5 Billion dollars to fight the Soviet Union... and it is established fact that Bush is friends with the Bin Laden family, and made laws protecting them from FBI investigation]
"It was their intent to use it for a terrorist attack," RCMP assistant commissioner Mike McDonell said of the homegrown plot to target unspecified institutions throughout southern Ontario.
"If I can put this in context for you, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people was completed with only one tonne of ammonium nitrate."
"This group posed a real and serious threat," he added. "It had the capacity and intent to carry out these acts."
- (CP) - Reaction to a series of arrests that security officials Ontario say thwarted terrorism attacks on unspecified targets in Ontario:
"This group posed a real and serious threat. It had the capacity and intent to carry out these (terrorism) acts." - RCMP Asst. Commissioner Mike McDonell.
"This operation in no way reflects negatively on any specific community or ethnocultural group in Canada. Terrorism is a dangerous ideology, and a global phenomenon. As yesterday's arrests demonstrate, Canada is not immune from this ideology." - CSIS spokesman Luc Portelance.
"These people are absolutely top-shelf investigators. You will not find better investigators on the planet." - Security consultant Chris Mathers, a former RCMP officer.
"It seems to suggest an almost rabid dedication to undertake something serious, whether as a major catastrophic explosion or a series of devastating assaults." - David Harris, a former CSIS official now a senior fellow with the Canadian Coalition for Democracies.
"The FBI is aware of the ongoing law enforcement activity in Canada. There is preliminary indication that some of the Canadian subjects may have had limited contact with the two people recently arrested from Georgia. As always, we will work with our international partners to review any intelligence gathered and will conduct any appropriate investigation. There is no imminent threat to the U.S. from these current law enforcement operations." - FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko.
"As at other times in our history, we are a target because of who we are and how we live, our society, our diversity and our values. Values such as freedom, democracy and the rule of law; the values that make Canada great; values that Canadians cherish; values that citizens like you are willing to defend. I'd like to commend the work of the RCMP, CSIS and local police authorities in conducting this operation." - Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"I think we can take a lot of reassurance from the fact (police) work uncovered the actions as they were ongoing but knew exactly when to step in to prevent any serious harm from occurring." - Toronto Mayor David Miller.
"The idea that people would be planning a bombing in our country is simply shocking. And I'm simply thrilled that it looks at though there was a successful co-ordinated effort by all of our security personnel to put a stop to it before it could happen." - Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton.

OTTAWA (CP) - Statement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper regarding terrorism-related arrests of 12 men and five youths, all from Ontario:
"This morning, Canadians awoke to the news that our law enforcement and national security agencies have arrested 17 individuals for terrorism related offences.
"These individuals were allegedly intent on committing acts of terrorism against their own country and their own people.
"As we have said on many occasions, Canada is not immune to the threat of terrorism. Through the work and co-operation of the RCMP, CSIS, local law enforcement and Toronto's Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), acts of violence by extremist groups may have been prevented.
"Today, Canada's security and intelligence measures worked. Canada's new government will pursue its efforts to ensure the national security of all Canadians."
Later, Harper spoke in English to military recruits and their families at the Canadian War Museum:
"Today, Canadians have learned that the RCMP and Toronto-area police with the help of CSIS and our intelligence community have arrested 17 individuals for terrorism offences under the Criminal Code. Their target - their alleged target - was Canada: Canadian institutions, the Canadian economy, the Canadian people.
"As at other times in our history, we are a target because of who we are and how we live, our society, our diversity and our values. Values such as freedom, democracy and the rule of law; the values that make Canada great; values that Canadians cherish; values that citizens like you are willing to defend.
[Now watch the "new government" bring in a host of legislation that directly restricts what's left of our "freedom" and totally disregards the true tenet of "rule of law".]
"I'd like to commend the work of the RCMP, CSIS and local police authorities in conducting this operation. We will continue to support them by strengthening our laws, our policies and the resources dedicated to the fight against terrorism here and around the world.
[Translation: more police state powers, and Billions MORE to criminal organizations like the RCMP and CSIS]
"Today, Canada's security and intelligence measures worked. Canada's new
government will continue its efforts to ensure the national security of all
Canadians. And you in the Canadian Forces, working with our police and
intelligence service in Canada and Afghanistan and around the world will help
us do just that."
[Military working with our police? Sound familiar? Oh, and how would you like
the US military working with our police?

Canada Muslims condemn alleged bomb plot
Lawyer calls charges 'vague' as 12 adults, 5 youths
await hearings
TORONTO, Ontario (CNN) -- Canadian Muslim organizations have condemned an alleged plot to bomb Toronto-area buildings, while a lawyer for one of the 17 suspects in custody called the charges against them "vague."
"We are committed to the safety and security of Canada and Canadians," said Mohammad Alam, president of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto. "We of all Canadians are shocked at the recent arrests of young Muslim men and teenagers and the very serious allegation against them."
Canadian authorities rounded up a group of 17 Muslim men and boys suspected of plotting to bomb major buildings in the Toronto area, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced Saturday. Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell said the group posed "a real and serious threat."
Luc Portelance, assistant director of operations for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said the suspects were followers of "a violent ideology inspired by al Qaeda."
And McDonell said they had taken steps to acquire three tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
[Yes, and now we know the
persons who took those steps were RCMP informants who had been working within
the group for a full year]
But while Canadian Muslims may be angry about issues like the war in Iraq or
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, "That should not be an excuse for any
hateful extreme or violent behavior by any person or group," Alam said.
And Sheik Husain Patel, a spokesman for the Canadian Council of Muslim
Theologians, said the allegations against the young men represented
"anti-Islamic behavior" if true.
"Any threat to Canada poses a threat to Muslims in Canada as well," he said.
"Thus, we are relieved that the alleged plans to attack targets in Canada were
thwarted."
But Toronto police said they have increased patrols around mosques in the city
after a northwest Toronto Islamic center was vandalized in what Police Chief
William Blair called a possible hate crime.
"There is no accusation being made against the Muslim community. Our
accusations pertain only to the actions of 17 young men," Blair said.
He said Toronto was one of the world's most diverse cities, where people of
all cultures, religions and languages lived together peacefully, "and we
should not let anyone take that peace prosperity and respect away from us."
Patel said the accused were innocent until proven guilty -- "But if they are
proven guilty after being given due process, then this is a wake-up call --
especially for Muslim leaders -- that more must be done to make sure that our
children do not get involved in activities that are contrary to the teachings
of Islam."
He said Muslim leaders had to emphasize to their followers that "You cannot
justify even a legal goal by using illegal means."
All 17 have been charged under Canadian anti-terrorism laws, Mountie
spokeswoman Michelle Paradis said, but details of the charges were not likely
to be made public until a bail hearing Tuesday in Brampton, Ontario.
[8.3 Billion has been spent to find terrorists
within Canada, and it took the RCMP/CSIS instigators a year to "find" one case
of threats to Canadian targets. So why is CSIS asking for more money? Oh, and
you can count on them asking for more police state powers too.... just wait
for it.... its coming.]
Fifteen of the 17 were being held in Brampton, Paradis said. She did not
disclose the locations of the other two suspects, but said they were likely to
appear in court on Wednesday. (Full list of adult suspects)
Attorney Rocco Galati, who is representing two of the suspects, told CNN both
men were charged with assisting in the procurement of property to facilitate
terrorist activity.
"These are absolutely vague, oblique charges," he said. "Not one single shred
of evidence was presented to the clients in court and they won't release the
alleged information to us."
Galati identified his clients as Ahmad Ghany, 22, and Abdel Halim, 30. He said
Ghany was a Canadian-born graduate of McMaster University with no criminal
history.
And he questioned the timing of the arrests, saying they came one week before
the Canadian supreme court was to hear a case involving how evidence was heard
in anti-terrorism cases.
'Political move'
"I believe these men are being rounded up as part of a political move to
affect the judges," Galati said.
Another attorney, Answer Farooq, said he was representing five of the suspects
and had met with them briefly, but had not yet seen detailed evidence or
charges.
A U.S. counterterrorism official said some of the suspects in Canada, as well
as the two arrested in the United States, had communications with suspected
terrorists overseas -- including some taken into custody last fall in Britain.
The counterterrorism official confirmed information originally reported by the
Los Angeles Times.
And FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said Saturday that some of the Canadian
suspects had been in contact with two men arrested in Georgia who were accused
of videotaping buildings in Washington, including the Capitol and the World
Bank headquarters. But Kolko said, "There is no current outstanding threat to
any targets on U.S. soil emanating from this case."
A senior Canadian official told CNN the suspects were a self-contained group,
connected through the Internet. (Watch police chief describe how suspects got
bomb materials -- 0:36)
The government had been watching the suspects for a while and decided to move
ahead with arrests because of concerns they might be close to staging attacks,
the official said.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Saturday the target of the alleged
terror plot "was Canada -- Canadian institutions, the Canadian economy, the
Canadian people.
"As at other times in our history, we are a target, because of who we are and
how we live, our society, our diversity and our values -- values such as
freedom, democracy and the rule of law." (Watch Canada's prime minister

Canadian 'Terror Plot' Begins To Unravel - Media helping to scare Canadians into
police state.
(Terrorists set up in sting operation, more on
unfounded London raid. See
latest revelation to "Toronto terrorists" at bottom of this webpage.)
 Just as predicted, the frightening plot to bomb high profile targets in
Toronto and the arrest of 17 alleged terror suspects has all the hallmarks of
yet another invented nightmare intended to scare western populations into
quelling their descent of the empire.From a manufactured scheme to attack the Library Tower in LA to the British government's hoax Canary Wharf and Ricin terror conspiracies - every major alert or mass arrest since 9/11 has proven to be a fraudulent movie script with no basis in reality. As the credibility of Friday's London terror raid collapses, so does its counterpart in Canada with the news that the arrests were a sting operation in which, "The Royal Canadian Mounted Police itself delivered three tons of potential bomb-making material," to the alleged terrorists according to the Associated Press. As one blog points out, "I remember once when huge lots of Chinese food were ordered in someone else's name by bored teenagers as pranks. Do things like that still happen, I wonder, and could they happen with fertilizer, too?" At the moment CSIS is saying very little and it appears that the bulk of the case is being built around stage prop photos of 'sample' bags of ammonium nitrate, guns and explosive timers (pictured below).
For those who are aware of the past activities of CSIS it's going to take more than a scary display of terrorist paraphernalia to validate the government's account of events. In August 2003 26 Pakistani and South Asian men were arrested during a pre-dawn raid by the RCMP under Project Thread. The weight of the evidence behind the accusation that they were planning a dirty bomb attack on a nuclear facility comprised of the fact that the suspects often burned meals and one of them had a poster of airplane schematics on his wall. All allegations were dropped and the men were released, but not before a media juggernaut fearmongering campaign about how Canadians in major cities were not safe. The story also coincides with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's Senate demand for more funding to fight terrorism. It is hardly beyond the pale to suggest that this is another imaginary nightmare dreamt up in order to scare Canadian politicians into rubber stamping a giant cash cow.
Racial tension, always a boon for the police state, has increased with reports of Mosques in Toronto being attacked. Armed tactical units of the police are now patrolling Toronto streets (pictured above). Meanwhile in London it emerges that 250 armed police who raided a family home in the Forest Gate area, shooting a man in the shoulder, first smashed their way into the suspect's neighbors house, brandishing machine guns and beating an innocent man with the gun butt as his wife and eight-month-old baby watched in horror. However, as the supposed chemical weapons that justified the raid are now admitted to "not exist," the police are unapologetic in their actions, forcefully telling Brits that this is an aspect of the new world order that they must learn to accept.

Police put
on a `good spectacle'
Snipers, leg irons, selected evidence, police brass - all calculated to sway
the public, lawyers and security experts say
|
Jun. 5, 2006. 08:16 AM LINDA DIEBEL STAFF REPORTER "A good spectacle ... theatrical atmosphere ... like 24 ... an awards show." Reviews for a Mirvish production, right? Maybe a Hollywood blockbuster or fast-paced new action series on Fox? Wrong. It's how several lawyers and security experts describe the sombre, indeed frightening, events which transpired in the GTA over the past weekend. At a news conference Saturday, a dozen of the highest-ranking police officers in the province gathered to announce that an alleged terrorist cell had been shut down before it could explode a truck bomb three times more powerful than the device used in Oklahoma City. They were circumspect about Operation O-Sage, arguing time constraints in the preparation of evidence as well as police procedure. The anti-terrorism task force was careful about the wording of its news release, saying that the group "took steps to acquire" the three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a popular fertilizer used to make bombs. As well, they laid out selected evidence for the photographers and TV crews, showing only "sample" bags of ammonium nitrate. Meanwhile, under massive police security which included sharpshooters on nearby roofs and tactical squad officers with submachine-guns, suspects were brought in leg irons to the provincial courthouse in Brampton. There, in Room 101, Justice of the Peace John Farnum postponed bail hearings until tomorrow morning. For the experts contacted by the Star, these events were as much about creating an image for the public as about charging the individuals. And it's an image, they argue, that could hurt the right of the accused - 12 men and five youths - to a fair trial. Being on message - "on script" as the spin doctors put it - is a concept more easily associated with politicians than police chiefs. But for a veteran of the criminal justice system like Toronto lawyer Walter Fox, it's the obvious lens through which to judge events. The principal audience, in his view, is the Canadian public. "Police think they have to present a show of force to advance the public's understanding that these guys are dangerous," said Fox. "Does it prejudice the mind of the public? I think so. "As a criminal lawyer, I am well aware that police and the prosecution are never stronger than at the moment when they've brought their suspects into court for the first time. I've also learned that the stronger the police seem to be at this point, the more suspicious I become that they don't have a complete case." Overall, Fox tends to believe that the checks and balances of the justice system will probably win out. David Jacobs, a Toronto lawyer with extensive experience in international human rights law, is less sure. "The fanfare around the arrests creates such a theatrical atmosphere one wonders if it is necessary for the enforcement of justice.... It raises the emotional level without necessarily shedding any light," he said. In Brampton Saturday, lawyer Anser Farooq, who represents five of the accused, clearly saw the image of snipers on the roof and police armed to the teeth as negative to his clients. "This is ridiculous," he told the Star. "They've got soldiers here with guns. This is going to completely change the atmosphere." Inside, lawyer Rocco Galati, representing two suspects, complained to Farnum about the leg irons and armed officers in the courtroom, adding: "I do not feel safe with an automatic weapon facing in my direction." Police evidence was carefully chosen for the news conference, held at the Toronto Congress Centre by the RCMP-led National Security Enforcement Team. The chief speaker was RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell, and lined up behind him were chiefs of police from Toronto, York, Durham and Peel regions, as well as representatives from the Ontario Provincial Police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. "When I saw all that brass lined up with every cop in southern Ontario and Canada telling us what a wonderful job they had done, I thought it was like an awards show," said Fox. "Everybody will tell you it's standard but they are all working to influence the public." He had questions, as did Jacobs, about exactly how three tonnes of ammonium nitrate were "acquired" by the suspects. The Star has learned that when investigators monitoring the men found out about the alleged purchase of the fertilizer, they intervened before delivery, switching the potentially deadly material with a harmless substance. Jacobs advised vigilance in seeing what comes out in court about how far police went. He said that the courts have been drawing a line past which law enforcement officers can't go without being seen as having induced the commission of a criminal offence. He found it interesting that police referred to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing where 168 people died in an explosion at a federal building. He said that if, for example, police arranged for delivery of the ammonium nitrate, it would shed a different light on proceedings. "In Oklahoma City, there was no suggestion police were involved," said Jacobs, adding that there are a number of important unanswered questions in the investigation. Jacobs also criticized police for linking the suspects to Al Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 attacks, without providing evidence. Police said that cell members were "inspired" by Al Qaeda. Fox chuckled at the way evidence was presented, notably the use of similar bags of ammonium nitrate, not the actual evidence. Watching it on TV, he said, he had the sense of reading an old crime pulp
magazine from the '50s, with lines like: "At a location similar to the one
pictured above, the following events took place ..."

Hyped Terror Raid Proves To Be Paper Tiger
| No evidence of chemical weapons, supposed Canada attack also discredited Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | June 5 2006 Friday's terror raid in London which has been hyped by sections of the media all weekend has evaporated into another paper tiger, just as another alleged fearsome plot to attack the Canadian Parliament is discredited by lack of evidence. On Friday morning London police, supposedly acting on 'intelligence' and not evidence of a chemical weapons plot, raided a family home in the Forest Gate area, beating down doors and breaking windows as one of the suspects, Mohammed Abdul Kahar was shot in the shoulder. Over the weekend police incredulously attempted to absolve themselves of blame by claiming that Kahar was shot by his own brother and not one of an alarmingly overzealous 250 police officers who descended on the scene. The police's version of events was adamantly denied by lawyers representing Kahar and his brother Abul Koyair. The London Guardian reports today, "Counter-terrorism officials conceded yesterday that lethal chemical devices they feared had been stored at an east London house raided on Friday may never have existed." Whoops. But look beneath the embarrassing intelligence foul-up angle and we see another shining success for the police state, with one senior police source unapologetic in proclaiming that despite this farce coupled with the brutal unprovoked murder of Charles de Menezes last year, "The public may have to get used to this sort of incident." The specter of impromptu armed dawn raids based on the testimony of shadowy neighborhood informants wouldn't look out of place in Communist East Germany but we are told it is the new Britain of New Labour and that we should shut up and accept it. Britons will continue to remain passive until the color of those being targeted changes, which it invariably will after the mass panic of another false flag terror attack. The Register today carries an excellent analysis debunking the often cited threat of a biological and chemical weapons attack in the UK and the supposed ease in which it could be accomplished according to police and the government. The argument is illustrated by a comparison with Aum Shinrikyo's 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack. According to the London Telegraph's Sunday edition the incident, "sent out an alarming message about how easy it was to plot and carry out a chemical attack." If you clarify a $30 million budget, a team of trained scientists, top class equipment, at least one factory and years of testing as 'easy' then you might also equate climbing Everest with a walk in the park. The article also points out that in the only documented major biological attack in the last ten years, the anthrax attacks of 2001, the source of the anthrax was not Al-Qaeda operated terror laboratories but in fact the US government's own bio-defence program. Therefore the bigger worry should not revolve around the miniscule chance of small terror cells acquiring limited use chemical or biological weapons, but the question of how weapons grade anthrax was smuggled out of Ft. Detrick and handed to terrorists who were apparently doing the bidding of the US government. Meanwhile in Canada, an alleged plot to bomb Toronto area buildings that led to the arrest of 17 Muslim men is already being described as "vague" in some quarters. As Kurt Nimmo discusses, the story coincides with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's (CSIS) Senate demand for more funding to fight terrorism. It is hardly beyond the pale to suggest that this is another imaginary nightmare dreamt up in order to scare Canadian politicians into rubber stamping a giant cash cow. Little doubt that just like the London plot, any actual substance behind the story will melt away over the next couple of days. Related: Cowboy UK Police Shoot Another 'Terror Suspect' |
Toronto Terrorist Ringleader Has Canadian Military Connections
|
The much vaunted Toronto terrorist plot sank deeper into the abyss of absurdity late Wednesday when it was revealed that the alleged ringleader of the cell, Steven Vikash Chand, was a former Canadian soldier. CBC News reports, "The lawyer for Steven Chand, also known as Abdul Shakur, said Tuesday that his client is accused of wanting to storm Parliament, behead the prime minister and attack a number of sites, including the CBC building in Toronto. A newspaper report on Wednesday said Chand had been a member of the Royal Regiment of Canada, a reservist unit, and that he had been given weapons training. Military confirms connection The Toronto Star said the military confirmed, but downplayed, Chand's military connection." In every high profile case that we have studied, terrorist links to security and intelligence services as well as the military are uncovered. From the evidence it is starting to appear that Chand was the kingpin for a government entrapment program that sought to manufacture a terrorist alert by creating a de facto terrorist cell.
Ya Ya Canada summarizes the indicators. "The whole thing is smelling stinkier and stinkier. According to the Thomas Walkom of the Toronto Star [Suspects seem strictly second rate, Jun. 7] the suspects made certain that they bothered the neighbours in the vicinity of their "training camp" by trespassing and giving them "lip". They drew attention to themselves by "shooting of firearms", and playing "paintball" "My guess is that they were simply playing paintball using paintball guns. And that they dressed up in military fatigues, or were encouraged to, for the fun of it. They may be Muslims, but they are boys, after all, and boys do stuff like that for fun. They could easily be set up to do it in order that an impression could be made." "Walkom goes on to say: "The leader of these alleged terrorists was so disgusted with his young charges that he complained to Côté about their incompetence." Which makes it sound even more that they were set up." The 9/11 attacks were preceded by the alleged hijackers (patsies) making themselves as visible as possible in an attempt to create a case history and a storyboard that the creaking official version events would later be pinned to. The Washington Post reported that the supposed devout Muslim fundamentalists were getting drunk and rowdy in a bar the night before the attacks and boasting of their positions as airline pilots. The alarmist media circus that continues to froth over the arrest of 12 men and 5 teenagers is serving as a useful distraction from the Bilderberg meeting which begins Thursday in and will be attended by Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper. Alex Jones and the Infowars crew are already in Canada and will provide full exposure of the misdeeds of the scheming and plotting Globalist kingmakers that comprise the Bilderberg Group. Related: Toronto Star: 'Perhaps Toronto 17 Not Terrorists At All' ---------LATEST UPDATE-----------
Ottawa's abrupt decision to cancel a preliminary inquiry into Canada's most spectacular post-9/11 terror allegations and instead move directly to trial raises new and troubling questions.
Everything about the case of the so-called Toronto 18 is shrouded in mystery. Evidence raised in court, either at bail hearings or the preliminary hearing, is covered by a publication ban. But this hasn't prevented the public from knowing allegations against 14 adults and four juveniles that are so bizarre as to be almost unbelievable. The Crown claims that at one point the alleged Islamic terrorists were plotting to cut off Prime Minister Stephen Harper's head – but changed their minds because they weren't sure where Parliament Hill was. It also claims some of the 18 attended a Keystone Kops-style military training camp at Washago north of Toronto where, it seems, they spent most of their time complaining about the cold. Shortly after charges were levelled, the Star reported the government case rested on two informants. One, whose name cannot be published, is said to have been paid $4 million by the government. He was apparently a central figure in an alleged plot to make a fertilizer bomb. A second informant, Mubin Shaikh, decided to go public. Now you can't shut him up. He's been interviewed by the Star, the National Post, the Los Angeles Times, the CBC and most recently the BBC. [full report] Terror hearing halted - TheStar.com Sept 25/07

Flashback to 2006....
So what do you do when you have no case against an accused "terrorist group",
but you want to keep the public in the dark, to maintain the spectre of fear?
Court imposes blanket publication ban on case against 17 terror suspects
A justice of the peace involved in the case against 17 terror suspects has imposed a publication ban on the proceedings.
A lawyer representing one of the accused says the Crown had no right to seek a blanket publication ban after feeding so many damaging accusations to the media about the suspects.
Rocco Galati says he wants the allegations against his client to be known.
He says the public should be allowed to assess the case against each of the terror suspects.
He wants a live feed of the proceedings broadcast through the media.
Galati made the comments outside the Brampton, Ont., court where many of the suspects are appearing today.
Lawyers, Muslims criticize pub ban in terror case as "publication scam" CP
Method Used In Tracking Potential Terrorists Questioned.
Below article states Government agents "may have" been ones fomenting terrorism
in Canada.... Perhaps this explains why it took nearly two years (we just find out) for
the RCMP to sell them a load of harmless fertilizer and claim it was the beginning of
a vast terror campaign.... why arrest them with fertilizer if their intent was to build a
bomb, and they were under continual CSIS surveillance? Come on, folks..... have
some discernment and figure out what these megalomaniacs are doing; the future
of our country, and indeed the planet, rests on what you do with the truth.
Daily Times, Pakistan.
Monday, June 12, 2006.
WASHINGTON: Questions have been raised about the justification of the
technique used by law enforcement officials who have tracked Muslim
communities in New York, California and elsewhere, and paid informants
hundreds of thousands of dollars to fish for possible radicals.
Such efforts have led to convictions last month of a 23-year
Pakistani-American from Lodi, California, Hamid Hayat, on charges of
offering material support to terrorists, and Shahawar Matin Siraj, 24,
of Brooklyn, on charges that he plotted to blow up the Herald Square
subway station in New York in 2004. In both cases, prosecutors never
presented evidence that either man had begun to assemble tools or
weapons necessary to carry out any attack.
That the arrest of 17 young people, most of them students and five of
them minors, was the result of a two-year long police sting operation
has been consistently downplayed and for the most part not even
mentioned by the US and Canadian media. Only a thin line divides a
sting operation from entrapment. The Toronto 17 were all young and
impressionable and their defenders say that it was the government
agencies that may have talked them into wanting to commit acts of
terrorism, including such grandiose ones as taking members of
Parliament in Ottawa hostage and decapitating the prime minister of
Canada.
Their defence lawyers have pleaded that these men had no true intention
of committing terrorist acts. Instead, they were convicted simply
because they exhibited a fierce anti-American bravado. "What you had
here was someone who was trash talking," said Martin R Stolar, a lawyer
who represented Siraj. His client, he said, only considered the idea of
bombing the subway after being egged on by an informant and the police.
"And now they are claiming credit for stopping something that they
created and was never going to happen," Stolar told the New York Times.
Arthur S Hulnick, a retired intelligence officer and a professor of
International Relations at , told the newspaper that he was convinced
that a surveillance-based search for homegrown terrorists could be done
legally, and without violating civil liberties.

So what do you do when you have no case against an accused terrorist group,
but you want to fabricate a confession?
Terror suspects subjected to 'torture' lawyers
A Brampton, Ontario justice of the peace has imposed a publication ban on the proceedings against 17 terror suspects, just hours after lawyers for the suspects said their clients endured "cruel and unusual punishment" behind bars which amounted to "torture."
"That torture includes being kept in a room that's lit 24 hours a day, being woken up every half-hour, being beaten by the guards, on and on and on," said lawyer Rocco Galati outside the court.
Lawyers for the suspects also seemed to believe that the publication ban comes too late.
"They want to close the restaurant after they've had the buffet," Galati told reporters.
He also said in the 48 hours after the arrests, a lot of the information in the case was released to the media.
Defence lawyer Arif Raza expressed a similar sentiment, saying he sees no need for a ban now that much of the information has been released to the public.
"Rather than have speculation in the press, I think that justice would be better served by accurately reporting what precisely had happened in the court rather than speculate," said Raza.
Ahmad Shehab, a Muslim counsellor, called it a "publication scam."
"If you accuse people you might as well show things, clear, transparent, due process, crystal clear evidence so the public could see," Shehab said outside the courthouse west of Toronto.
Lawyers for some of the terror suspects appeared outside of the court earlier to discuss their clients' jail stay.
David Kolinsky, lawyer for Zakaria Amara, said his client was pushed down by a guard, who shoved a finger into his cheek.
"My client (said) as he was being searched, the guard touched his ribs and he's ticklish. He giggled a bit and he was pinned down on the ground," Kolinsky told the swarm of reporters.
"The guard drilled his finger and knuckle into his cheek quite hard and he said 'Is this funny?'"
Galati, who represents 21-year-old Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, also alleged mistreatment.
He said the suspects have been forced to sit in a room with a light for 24 hours a day. They have also not been allowed outside for five days straight.
Galati said the men and youths have been subject to "unprecedented" treatment -- and that they have been declared guilty in public by not only Toronto's mayor and some Muslim community leaders, but also Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"Within mere days of the arrests, the prime minister of Canada and the mayor of Toronto publicly declared the guilt of the accused," Galati said outside the courthouse.
Because of this, Galati questioned whether the accused can get a fair trial.
Lawyers have also argued that they are not getting the access to clients that they need.
Galati said he has been denied access to his client "because they are not willing to give access that is not monitored or overheard by guards, which is not acceptable to us as lawyers."
On Sunday, Raza -- who represents 19-year-old Saad Khalid -- said he has seen a significant improvement in his client's treatment in jail.
"I was actually able to meet him physically, not across a barrier," Raza told The Canadian Press after meeting with his client at the Maplehurst correctional facility in Milton, Ont.
"It's a far superior method of communicating with each other. The environment was much more friendly."
Raza said his client's father was also allowed to visit on the weekend, which made his client smile.
"At least now he has some human contact, which has definitely improved his appearance," Raza said.
Does the following headline shock you? [You should visit our CSIS page]
Alleged Toronto terror plot included two police agents David Adelaide / WSWS | October 20 2006 According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s FifthEstate and the Globe & Mail, the “Toronto terror cell” arrested in June for allegedly plotting massive acts of terrorism against Canadian targets included not just one, but two Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) moles. This second Muslim man in the pay of Canada’s security forces is said to have been involved in the accused terrorists’ alleged efforts to construct powerful explosives. Following the early June arrest of 18 young Toronto-area men on terrorism charges, government and media sources repeated ad nauseam that only prompt action by the security and intelligence services prevented a major terrorist atrocity. The authorities’ contention that those arrested posed a real and imminent threat rested on two claims—both of which have proven threadbare. On the one hand, they pointed to a “terrorist training camp” held in rural Ontario during December 2005. On the other hand, the Toronto men’s intention to put into action their terrorist schemes was said to be proven by their alleged attempt to buy large quantities of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer, from which bombs can been be made. In the days immediately following the arrests, the World Socialist Web Site urged that “all of the claims of the government and the police concerning the alleged terrorist conspiracy, and the further revelations and speculations given out by the media, be treated with the utmost caution and a large degree of skepticism. None of the alleged facts presented by the authorities can be accepted uncritically as true.” This warning was quickly vindicated when, in July, the identity of a first CSIS mole was made public. One Mubin Shaikh admitted to the media that he had been working for CSIS for two years, befriending members of the Toronto group and ultimately going on to lead the two-week “terrorist training camp.” This camp, which largely consisted of paint-ball games, was under blanket surveillance by CSIS and RCMP personnel, while a crack-Canadian Armed Forces special operations unit waited a short helicopter ride away for orders to intervene. With last week’s news that a second mole was at the heart of the “bomb-making” part of the plot, the question is raised anew of the extent to which the alleged Toronto terror plot was—if not a complete fabrication of the security and intelligence apparatus—at the very least carried out with significant encouragement and “facilitation” from them.Clearly, Canada’s security agencies were in a position to manipulate the alleged plotters—a group comprised almost entirely of young men. And manipulate them it did: The arrest of the 18 individuals followed shortly on the heels of an attempted purchase of fertilizer in which the seller turned out to be an undercover RCMP agent. http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20061019093946683 Mubin Shaikh, bomb plot mole http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/toronto-bomb-plot/shaikh.html ___________________ Related: CSIS was silent partner in Air India Terrorist Attack!!!

911's Older Sister: Operation Northwoods
In 1962, the U.S. Government had a plan called "Operation Northwoods." The plan was to carry out fake terrorist attacks in America, and then blame them on Cuba; the purpose of all this being an excuse to invade Cuba. They were going to: > Hijack planes > Fake a Cuban air force attack on a civilian jetliner > Shoot people in sniper attacks > Blow up a ship > Blow up John Glenn's space capsule > Attack military bases http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1 Operation Northwoods is laid out in documents that were signed by the five Joint Chiefs, but it was never carried out.
