Oh Canada Day, my heart is aching and I feel the exact opposite of proud to be Canadian. The horror stories about the behavior of the police toward the people at the G20 keep flooding in and every one gets worse. Video, eye witness accounts, photos. And then I hear the Toronto Police Chief on the radio, pompously justifying the police actions because of the handful of so-called ‘Black Bloc Terrorists’ and their heinous behavior. Not a word, not a hint of apology or admission of any overkill or wrongdoing. I couldn’t believe it, not after what has happened. Do they really think we’re that stupid?
Apparently they do. The police were conspicious by their absence when it came to the vandals. They were allowed (encouraged? Helped?) to smash windows in the downtown financial district and to burn police cars. There was not a hint of police presence or interference in these activities.
How many of these black-clad terrorists were actually undercover police officers? It seems likely that some of them were. This has now become a time honoured police tactic: dress up like the bad guys, do bad guy stuff even if there are no real bad guys around who want to do it in order to get the bystanders fired up and into a mob mentality in order to justify the massive police crackdown that they’ve spent so much money on making possible.
It’s called incitement to riot, wait isn’t that against the law? Ah, you see, the police are allowed to break the law in order to encourage people to break the law so that they can arrest them. It all makes such perfect sense.
The following quote is from the description on this video of Black Bloc violence:
It should be VERY obvious to everyone at this point, there is a pattern here. Massive crowds of PEACEFUL protesters show up to voice their opinions and concerns, and LIKE CLOCKWORK the Black Bloc comes out of nowhere and FU$%S UP THE WHOLE PROGRAM, EVERY TIME. This is a classic, PREDICTABLE tactic used time and again. And every time it happens the black Bloc gets away while the peaceful crowds are surrounded, harassed, arrested and worse. It is used to steer the public away from what LEGITIMATE protesters are out there screaming about, and is also used as a way to condition the public into expecting harsher police responses and HUGE security clampdowns (1 BILLION DOLLARS) every time there is a protest organized. The Black bloc is a tool of the Global Elite and there is plenty of proof if you are willing to look for it. REAL PROTESTERS DON’T WEAR MASKS, except gas masks, and by the time those are necessary it’s obvious who is on what side! I can guarantee that just like all the past G20 protests, it will come out that the Police (undercover, in uniform, and elements of the Black Bloc), were the ones burning and smashing things, so they have their excuse to rush in on the law abiding protesters! GUARANTEED
“$1 billion of security cannot stop a radical group as they smash a police rental van at University & College intersection, while dozens of police officers sit in rental vans across the street. The Black Block escapes proceeding the closing down the ‘free speech zone’ in Queens Park… G what? Hollywood Psy-Op!”

EYEWITNESS REPORTS: Reported in THIS VIDEO – Police allowing destruction, not moving in…
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING,THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE, THAT IS WHAT HYPOCRISY LOOKS LIKE!
But this is the piece that shut down my celebratory mood for good today. It’s a very long, detailed, wrenching, excellently written story by a guy who was arrested along with hundreds of other bystanders, protesters, shoppers, locals and other innocents and detained in cages–yes, cages!–crammed with other prisoners for nearly 24 hours. It’s a hell of a story, the kind of thing you can’t imagine happening here. You just can’t.
But it did. It would make a hell of a documentary film. Paul Manly, I hope you’re on this one. Shame, shame, shame on this country today.

Here I was, all set to go downtown and join the community in its Canada Day party, but now all I want to do is cry. Or maybe break some windows and torch some police cars.
If they want to start a revolution, this is the way to go about it. How long are we going to let this crap go on? They’re strengthening the infrastructure of the police state. Will we wait until we’re all confined to cages to do something? What the hell CAN we do?
God damn it. I want my country back. I’m starting to feel like this.
Oh, and the HST kicking in today? I’m not even going to go there. It’s just adding insult to injury.
