147771624.Pdf 1 Preface Forced Retirement at age 28! Because of Royal Canadian Mounted Police Lies!! The original book by the same name, Forced Retirement at age 28 because of Royal Canadian Mounted Police Lies!!, appearing on Amazon.com was suppressed by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper andRCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson was 734 pages in length. The current edition is only around 125 pages in length, but it’s a powerful story of conspiracy, lies, fabrication, harassment including more corruption by Stephen Harper’s gang! Should the reader wish a copy of the original 734 page book, just send him an email message and he will send you a free PDF copy: [email protected] My legacy to Canada? Revealing lies, fabrication, perjury and corruption by Canadian Government employees? Nothing but liars (or worse) as far as the eye can see!! Turn around and there’s another liar working for the Federal Government of Canada? Turn around again and another Canadian Government employee is fabricating? Turn around again and another Canadian Government employee is committing perjury? Turn around again and another Canadian Government employee is committing much worse: Langley RCMP officer Adam Jonathan Clarke was charged in June with two counts of child luring “A female passerby witnessed an RCMP constable openly masturbating in his unmarked police vehicle – he smiled” 2 At one point, she pleads: "If I die, will you make sure my mom knows that I love her." As she slumped to the floor, court heard her final plea: "Have a heart please. I've been really good... I want to live." Only a few examples that have come to light appear in this book, including the forced retirement of one “little guy” at the age of 28 when Canadian Government employees spread false murder charge statements against him, by such employees as: RCMP S/Sgt John Thomas Randle M.J. Hauser Nicole Bomberg of the Canadian Human Rights Commission Lorisa Stein of the Canadian Human Rights Commission And the Canadian Government started harassing this current author for revealing the truth about this corruption, with bogus audits for example by Gail Shea, Revenue Minister. The Canadian government doesn’t like the fact that the author writes about the “crap” in Canada against the “little people”. The RCMP doesn’t like that the author has SUCCESSFULLY SUED them in Federal Court for the bull-shit they have pulled!! Well, well – is this the best the RCMP can do?? Get another stooge, Sanfu Chen?? The RCMP doesn’t like that the author tells the truth about them! Just ask the multitude of female RCMP officers who have been sexually abused by these bozos, as cited in some of the author’s books!! So what have they done, gotten another stooge [Sanfu Chen] to put some more bull- shit about the author out there – this time that he was an unwilling witness which is what the RCMP [through the Crown] told the Coroner!!! And they did that when they knew the author’s lawyer was out of town?? Again, the author has to put the facts straight!!! As can be seen below, the author has the original Coroner Inquest report sent to him by the Coroner’s office of British Columbia Canada!! 3 Harper & Paulson have suppressed all of these books by this author: RCMP lie at 1976 Coroner Inquest: Ruth Mallenby homicide by Person or Persons Unknown http://www.amazon.com/RCMP-lie-1976-Coroner- Inquest/dp/1480256234/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=136272890 4&sr=1-1&keywords=RCMP+LIES Terry Mallenby Successfully Sued the RCMP: Bob Paulson has 40 year old lies uploaded to internet as RCMP payback http://www.amazon.com/Terry-Mallenby-Successfully-Sued- RCMP/dp/1480196673/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362728904 &sr=1-9&keywords=RCMP+LIES Stephen Harper, Another Big Sucky Baby: Uploads 40 year old RCMP lies, as payback http://www.amazon.com/Stephen-Harper-Another-Sucky- Baby/dp/1480261068/ref=sr_1_17?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362729001 &sr=1-17&keywords=RCMP+LIES Terry Mallenby Successfully Sued the RCMP: Sanfu Chen uploads 40 year old RCMP lies as payback http://www.amazon.com/Terry-Mallenby-Successfully-Sued- RCMP/dp/1480154717/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362728904 &sr=1-4&keywords=RCMP+LIES 4 Terry Mallenby Successfully Sued the RCMP: Does Rebecca Aldous or David Burke help upload 40 year old RCMP lies as payback http://www.amazon.com/Terry-Mallenby-Successfully-Sued- RCMP/dp/1480154911/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362728904 &sr=1-5&keywords=RCMP+LIES Husband NOT reluctant witness at Mallenby inquest!

Chapter 18 Page 94 Forced retirement at age 28 due to false murder charge statements! 7 Chapter 1 The RCMP pension scandal - “Frizzell’s protestations fell on deaf ears" As noted, “an Ottawa-based RCMP officer, who was at the centre of a probe into mismanagement of the agency's pension and insurance funds, is suing the force and several current and former high-ranking members for more than $26 million … the lawsuit names several other defendants, including former RCMP commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli, current Commissioner William Elliott, former deputy commissioner Barbara George.”1 As further stated, “according to a statement of claim filed June 4 in Ontario Superior Court, Staff Sgt. Mike Frizzell was assigned to the probe in 2004 and during the investigation -- dubbed Project Probity -- he and other investigators uncovered millions of dollars that had been diverted from the RCMP's insurance and pension funds to cover agency expenses.”2 Yet, when he started to voice concerns about the alleged improprieties, he attracted the "ire and rage" of the force, was threatened and harassed, and ultimately pulled from the investigation, according to the claim.3 The lawsuit states that when Frizzell attempted to bring to light his concerns about the misuse of RCMP pension funds, his "protestations fell on deaf ears." Instead, he was accused of harassing witnesses and served with a written order in 2005 to stop work on the investigation. Two years later, a report from government-appointed investigator David Brown found that Frizzell was "pursuing legitimate issues" and called the work- stop order "troubling."4 "He believed so strongly in the integrity of the organization to continue to push when he saw wrongdoing in the organization that he admired his entire life," the report said. "It is regrettable his commitment to the organization was met with manipulation and false accusations."5 The lawsuit states that Frizzell who has been off-duty sick since May 2008 -- lost his professional reputation and suffered serious emotional and psychological damage: "His career with the RCMP is effectively over," the lawsuit states.6 Again: why do provinces put up with this police force, it would be less disastrous and more economically feasible to have their own provincial police forces -- more control and less costly if one as to pay out such lawsuits for RCMP mis-actions? 8 Footnotes 1 - 6.

Joaquín Bustelo, Ricardo Alarcon, Fidel Castro ——————————————————————————————————— Socialist Voice #72, December 3, 2005 Canada’s War Profits: Building a Relevant Anti-War Movement North of 49 by Derrick O’Keefe This article originally appeared in Seven Oaks Magazine The Canadian Peace Alliance recently held its 20th anniversary conference in Ottawa, November 11-13, gathering close to 200 anti-war activists from across the country. Convened under the slogan of ‘Challenging Canada’s Role in Empire’, participants came out of the weekend resolving to make March 18, 2006 – the 3rd anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq – the largest day of protest against the occupation since the massive pre-war rallies of 2002-2003. Peace and justice coalitions and organizations in Canada are also gearing up to campaign against war and occupation during the federal election. Foreign policy issues that need to be highlighted – and that have yet to be consistently raised by the federal New Democrats (NDP) or any other major party – include Canada’s stepped-up role in the occupation of Afghanistan, the overthrow of democracy in Haiti, and the Liberal government’s refusal to come out in support of U.S. war resisters’ right to stay in Canada. So as we set out on the anti-war campaign trail, towards both mass rallies on March 18 and the goal of having a meaningful impact on the discourse surrounding the election, it is useful to consider the obstacles in our path.

  • Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper
    Journalistic Pathfinding: How the Parliamentary Press Gallery Adapted to News Management Under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper by Jennifer Ditchburn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism School of Journalism and Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Jennifer Ditchburn ii Abstract Commentary on the contemporary interface between the media and governments often portrays outnumbered reporters as willingly accepting information subsidies as a way of meeting the demands of the 24/7 multi-platform newsroom. But this view fails to take into account the impact on journalistic routines of more extreme forms of government news management, which block access to information and to politicians rather than merely packaging or “spinning” them favourably. The experience of the parliamentary press gallery in Ottawa vis-à-vis Stephen Harper’s government offers an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the practical realities of political journalists confronted with stringent government news management tactics. A rupture in the historic role relationship between the gallery and the Prime Minister’s Office resulted in journalists adapting their techniques. They became pathfinders seeking out new routes – alternative human and data sources – to reach the information they needed to write their stories and prepare broadcasts. iii Acknowledgments One of the first things you’re supposed to do when embarking on the Master of Journalism program at Carleton University is come up with a thesis topic. For someone like me, having been away from university for 16 years doing hard news, the academic ideas weren’t exactly flowing freely.

  • DECEMBER 2005 - JANUARY 2006 Alain-G
    TINKERING AND SPREADING THE BLAME: HOW THE FIRST GOMERY REPORT LET PLUS QUEBECERS DOWN O P S Alain-G. Gagnon and Raffaele Iacovino T IO N To most Canadians, the sponsorship scandal was about greed and abuse of power. To Quebecers, the impact of the scandal and the commission that showcased it was much more nuanced. As Alain-G.Gagnon and Raffaele Iacovino of the Université du Québec à Montréal write, “The Gomery Commission has done little to reconcile the fundamental flaws in Ottawa’s approach to its relations with Quebec.” If the sponsorship scandal was a window on the belief “that the discontents of Quebecers were so superficial as to be treatable through the infantile blandishments of commercial advertising’s flashy colours and creative slogans,” they write, then it will take more than Gomery to repair the damage. Pour la plupart des Canadiens, le scandale des commandites est synonyme d’appât du gain et d’abus de pouvoir. Mais ses répercussions et la commission qui les a révélées suscitent chez les Québécois un avis beaucoup plus partagé. « La commission Gomery n’a guère comblé les lacunes fondamentales de l’approche appliquée par Ottawa dans ses relations avec le Québec », notent Alain-G.Gagnon et Raffaele Iacovino, de l’Université du Québec à Montréal. Si ce scandale a révélé que, pour certains, « le mécontentement des Québécois était si superficiel qu’il suffisait pour le calmer des puériles flatteries d’une campagne publicitaire aux couleurs vives et aux slogans choc », écrivent les auteurs, il faudra plus qu’un juge Gomery pour réparer les dégâts.
