Adil Charkaoui suspected by CSIS

Despite the fact that the content of the conversation did not permit the definite confirmation of the identity of “Adil” in question, CSIS was of the opinion that it was in fact the plaintiff [Adil Charkaoui] because of the tight relationship with plaintiff Abdlerazik and Ezzine, and the particular pronunciation of the first name “Used” can be read.

The city of Montreal is not specified, but there is no doubt that it is the metro of the city of Montreal that is concerned according, to sources consulted by La Presse.

The document obtained yesterday as a premiere by Radio Canada also reveals that in 2000 agents of the RCMP that were following Charkaoui surprised him many times stealing objects and documents in cars parked near malls on Rive-Sud.

Theft to finance

CSIS says it has “reasonable grounds to believe” that many thefts and frauds by credit card committed by Adil Charkaoui had the goal of financing his terrorist activities. Some transfers of funds had in fact taken place.

The summary submitted by Canada for its defense recalls also the main points of the CSIS investigation of Adil Charkaoui. He participated in Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, believes in armed jihad, discussed the planning of attacks, on top of having the profile of a sleeper agent. It also speaks of the ties with many Montrealers condemned since then for terrorism, including Ahmed Ressam and Abdellah Ouzghar, Said Atmani, etc., all ex-members of the Montreal cell.

This story of the attack in the metro is a reminder also of a conversation intercepted by CSIS in 2000 and divulged in 2011 by the press, in which Adil Charkaoui and Abousfian Abdelrazik discussed a plan to blow up an Air France plane flying from Montreal to Paris.

Adil Charkaoui was arrested in April 2003 on the authority of a security certificate. He was detained for 21 months before being freed with a multitude of conditions, including the wearing of an electronic ankle bracelet. He was liberated of his constraints in 2009, after the annulment of his security certificate by a federal court.

Since then he has demanded $26 million from the government for all the damages suffered, violations of his constitutional rights, his “arrest and illegal detainment”, damage to his reputation etc.

In his suit Adil Charkaoui states that his “quality of life was annihilated” and that he is “ stigmatized forever, just as much abroad as in Canada.”

He deplores also that from now on “thousands of documents accessible on the internet link him to terrorists so that his reputation is forever stained.”

CBC News has learned that a suspicious package found Tuesday at Department of National Defence headquarters in downtown Ottawa contained no explosive material of any kind, and was never a threat to the public.

Ottawa Police said initial X-rays of the package showed what appeared to be wires, batteries and a dense material that could have been components for an improvised explosive device.

But sources close to the investigation say that when police destroyed the package to disable its potentially dangerous contents, they found no explosives or bomb-like devices.

The Guarantee Clause: Congress’ Duty to Oppose Theocracy in the United States

Posted on by

It would seem Newt Gingrich is taking the Islamic threat to Western values much more seriously than he used to.

From Bill warner’s excellent website:

by Robert M. Petrusak

[Editor’s note: New Gingrich has called for a Federal ban on Sharia law in America.]

Theocracy is inherently oppressive and contrary to America’s core values. It regards God as the sovereign and source of law. It therefore places the coercive power of the state–including interpretation and enforcement of law–in the hands of believers. It excludes non-believers from the body politic and brings them suffering. In total contrast, the Declaration of Independence regards God not as a source of coercive power, but as a guarantor of inalienable rights including liberty and equality. The Declaration states that government derives its sovereign authority or “just powers” not from God, but “from the consent of the governed.” This concept of popular sovereignty is reflected not only in the preamble of the Constitution, but also in the “Guarantee Clause” of Article IV, Section 4 which obligates the federal government to preserve a republican form of government in every state. The Constitution also precludes theocracy through the First Amendment’s ban on laws respecting establishments of religion or prohibiting “free exercise” of religious beliefs.

Political Islam or “Islamism” is theocratic. It may be defined as a belief that Islam should control society and politics, not simply personal religious life. Accordingly to the eminent scholar Bernard Lewis, the ideal Islamic polity recognizes God as sole sovereign and law-giver and assigns believers the task of spreading His revelation until the entire world accepts it. This is to be achieved by extending the authority and membership of the community that follows God’s law, the Shariah, which deals with the acquisition and exercise of power and the duties of ruler and subject. [1] Accordingly, Shariah is not simply a prescription for exercising personal belief through activity such as prayer and diet. It is a system of laws that affects the conduct of both believers and non- believers in Islamic theocracies. More ominously, expansion of the community that regards God as sovereign suggests contraction and disempowerment of the community which does not.

Edmonton islamic school and gay bashing.

Posted on by

I am going to connect some disparate dots here based on heresy and comments from people I do not know personally.

So I would advise treating this article as just that. Some isolated facts that may or may not be related whatsoever.

But then again they may.

Here is a CTV video about a publicly funded islamic school teaching (surprise surprise surprise) islamic values during school hours by a school teacher on school property and nothing whatsoever will ever be done about it other than a 3-card-monty moving of the teacher in question in order to hang on to the millions of public dollars this school gets.

Here is a photo of a man who was apparently protesting this school for whatever reasons:

And here is an article that was sent to us last week by Don Laird who happened to see a car being towed that some allege is owned by the man in the photo above, who was protesting the school in the video up top.

A stunning case of Stockholm Syndrome in Edmonton

Don Laird

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Today I was in Edmonton for a few hours. At about 8:30 pm, after finishing supper, I was driving westbound on Jasper Avenue near 117th Street.

As I travelled west I noticed on the south side of the street a red car with both its front and rear windows smashed out. There were large signs attached to the car that read “Gay Bashed by Islamic School”. A large crowd had gathered and in addition to several police cars in attendance there was a tow-truck hooking up to the red car getting ready to tow it.

Edmonton Police impounded the car to stiffle free speech and to cover up their complicity in this crime.  A picture of the protester is posted on CTV’s website here

Apparently, the owner had his car towed down to city hall Thursday afternoon and had it on display in front of Edmonton police HQ on Friday morning.  I guess the police couldn’t find any way to shut him up again…

I suggest we follow this any way we can and find out if there is any connection at all between these events.

Here are a few follow up questions:

Why were the police so anxious to keep the vandalized car from public view?   What was the police involvement in this gay bashing?   Why was this car parked in front of Edmonton Police HQ Friday morning?  Where was the owner of the car when it was trashed?

Ottawa Sun: Several more charges laid in gangland shooting

Posted on by

From today’s Print edition of the Ottawa Sun:

[…]

Two more men have been charged in a gang-related weekend shooting in the city’s south end.

Samad Zeim Ali, 21, is charged with attempted murder and occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm. Abdulaziz Abdullah, 26, is charged with occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm.

The charges stem from a Saturday afternoon shooting near Heron Rd. and Finn Ct.

The shooting was targeted, said police, and unfolded following a Friday night altercation.

Another man, Abdullah AlZafiri, 20, was charged with attempted murder earlier this week.

From Wikipedia:

Ottawa hosts many Lebanese and Somali Muslims, where the Muslim community numbered approximately 40,000 in 2001.[7] Greater Montreal’s Muslim community of large numbers of Moroccan, Algerian and Lebanese descent neared 100,000 in 2001.[7] These communities are not exclusively, but predominantly, Muslim.

Ottawa has a population of about one million people.

Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefits

And now apparently they have a crack team of first rate lawyers paid for by the government. Yet the Ben Ghazi whistle blowers have to pony up themselves to protect themselves from that same government. It is getting easier to see who’s side the executive branch is on.

The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.

“The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today.

Did Tamerlan Tsarnaev Murder Jews on 10th Anniversary of 9/11?

Front Page Mag:

Did Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev murder Jews on the 10th anniversary of 9/11? That’s the question police are now asking, as they continue to dig into the past of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The three young men, Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman and Raphael Teken, were found murdered in an apartment in Waltham, Massachusetts on September 12, 2011. They had been killed the night before.  All three victims had their throats slashed, and their bodies were covered in marijuana. The crime scene was described as particularly brutal, with an investigator saying, “their throats were slashed right out of an al Qaeda training video. “ But Weissman had been arrested previously on charges of possession with intent to distribute, and neighbors also suspected Teken of being involved in the drug trade. For these reasons, police initially suspected a drug connection. At the time of the killing, investigators were looking for two suspects, who were believed to be known to the victims.
