Some people believe we are now living in the end times.

Christians from the very earliest days have believed this.

The Judgement Day is known only to the Creator.

Let us pray for peace, and for the good Peace Doctor Ron Paul.

Tell our NWO Prime Minister not to send more Canadian Forces to Israel or off the Syrian coast,

but rather bring them all home now.

Canadians have been used as mercenaries for the Evil Globalist Empire for far too long.

It is time for a peaceful non-violent Revolution of the Spirit in this sovereign nation.

BRING ALL THE CANADIAN TROOPS HOME NOW.

Gregory Paul Michael Hartnell, Historian

CANADIAN WAR PARTY PROPAGANDA:

Operation GLADIUS

Operation GLADIUS is the latest stage of Canada’s long-standing participation in the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) on the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria.

Task Force Golan Heights

Task Force Golan Heights consists of three Canadian Forces officers at the rank of major or lieutenant-commander with extensive operational experience. One of these officers serves as Military Assistant to the UNDOF Commander, the second serves as the Senior Staff Officer responsible for Personnel at UNDOF Headquarters, located at Camp Faouar, and the third serves as Liaison Officer to the Senior Syrian Arab Delegate.

Mission context

The conflict

On 6 October 1973, war erupted between Egyptian and Israeli forces in the Suez Canal area and the Sinai Peninsula; and between Syrian and Israeli forces on the Golan Heights. On 24 October 1973, the second United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF II) was established to stabilize the situation in the Suez Canal area by separating the Israeli and Egyptian armies deployed there.

By March 1974, when the situation on Israel’s northeast border with Syria was becoming increasingly unstable, the United States undertook a diplomatic initiative that resulted in the signature on 31 May 1974 of the Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria.

The Agreement on Disengagement established the Area of Separation on the Golan Heights between the positions held by Syrian and Israeli forces at the time of ceasefire, where military forces are not permitted and only residents may come and go freely. Each side of the Area of Separation is further buffered by an Area of Limitation, where the movement of belligerent forces is permitted under strictly controlled circumstances.

The Agreement on Disengagement also called on the United Nations to authorize an observer force to supervise its implementation.

UNDOF origins and mandate

U.N. Security Council Resolution 350 of 31 May 1974 approved the Agreement on Disengagement and authorized the formation of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force — UNDOF — with up to 1,250 military personnel and a mandate to:

  • Maintain the ceasefire between Israel and Syria;
  • Supervise the disengagement of Israeli and Syrian forces; and
  • Supervise the areas of separation and limitation as provided in the Agreement on Disengagement.

Since its formation, UNDOF has had its mandate renewed every six months.

UNDOF today

UNDOF maintains two base camps, 20 permanent positions, eight outposts manned during daylight hours and 11 observation posts within and close to the Area of Separation, which is more than 75 km long and varies in width from about 10 km in the centre to 200 meters in the extreme south.

UNDOF has 1, 041 troops in formed battalions to patrol the Area of Separation by day and night and provide the mission’s support services. The mission is also supported by 76 U.N. Military Observers from Observer Group Golan, part of the United Nations Truce Supervisory Organization (UNTSO, see Operation JADE).

Canada and UNDOF

Canada’s involvement with UNDOF began with the launch of Operation DANACA in June 1974. Canadian Forces logistics and signals units deployed under Operation DANACAsupported the entire mission.

Originally comprising more than 200 personnel, Operation DANACA was scaled back to 186 when UNDOF was reduced in size in 1992 and 1993. By March 2006, when Operation DANACA closed, some 12,000 Canadian soldiers, sailors and air personnel had served on the Golan Heights.

The initial rotation of Operation GLADIUS consisted of four officers who remained in staff positions with UNDOF when the logistics unit deployed under Operation DANACA returned to Canada. The mission was reduced to its current size in July 2006.

I am a big fan of the maverick Peace Doctor who represents Victoria, Texas, and Shepard Fairey, the Democrat-leaning serigraph poster artist who became famous making posters for Obushama, influenced by Cuban social realist and San Francisco psychedelic posters.

Here is a RON PAUL REVOLUTION Campaign for Liberty poster by an unknown artist, an homage to the one man who is most likely to confront and beat the incumbent Dictator in the coming 2012 Presidential contest, showing Mr. Fairey’s stylistic and colour influences, found at Alex Jones’ infowars.com, essential reading for anti-war, Liberty-loving people anywhere…

Nicholas Joseph “Nick” Begich, Sr. (April 6, 1932 – undetermined, presumed dead October 16, 1972) was a Democratic Party member of the United States House of Representatives from Alaska. He disappeared in a plane crash in Alaska in 1972. His son Mark Begich is currently the junior U.S. Senator from Alaska.

[edit]Early life and education

The son of a Croatian immigrant, Nick Begich was born and raised in Eveleth, Minnesota. His father, John Begich (Begić), was born in Podlapača, Croatia.[1] He attended Saint Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota before pursuing his doctorate at theUniversity of Colorado and the University of North Dakota.

[edit]Career

Begich worked as an expeditor and then a counselor in Anchorage, Alaska. He later worked in the administrative offices of Anchorage School District, eventually becoming Superintendent of Schools at Fort Richardson. In 1962, Begich was elected to the Alaska Senate, where he served for eight years. Begich also taught political science during parts of this period at the University of Alaska at Anchorage.

In 1970, Begich was elected to Alaska’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, defeating the Republican banker Frank Murkowski– who later served as a U.S. Senator and then the Governor of Alaska. In 1972 for his re-election, Begich was opposed by the Republican state senator Don Young.

Posthumously, Begich won the 1972 election with 56% to Don Young’s 44%. However, after Begich’s declared death, a special election was held and Mr. Young won this seat and still serves in this position as of 2011.

[edit]Disappearance

On October 16, 1972, he was aboard a twin engine Cessna 310 along with House Majority Leader Hale Boggs of Louisiana when the plane disappeared during a flight from Anchorage to Juneau. Also on board were Begich’s aide, Russell Brown; and the pilot, Don Jonz.[2] The four were heading to a campaign fundraiser for Begich.

In an enormous search effort, U.S. Coast GuardU.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force search and rescue planes looked for the four men and their airplane. On November 24, 1972, after proceeding for thirty-nine days, the air search was called off. Neither the wreckage of the plane nor the pilot’s or passengers’ remains have ever been found. All were declared dead on December 29, 1972. The accident prompted Congress to pass a law mandating emergency locator transmitters in all United States civil aircraft.

[edit]Personal life

Nick Begich had six children, named Mark, Nichelle, Tom, Stephanie, Paul, and Nick. His son Mark Begich is currently the junior U.S. Senator from Alaska. He won this position after defeating the Republican Party‘s longest serving Senator, Ted Stevens, who was killed in a plane crash nearly two years later.

Nick Begich’s widow, Pegge Begich, ran for the House of Representatives seat in 1984 and 1986, but she was defeated by the incumbent, Mr. Young. She is retired now, and she resides in Nevada. Their eldest son, Nick Begich, Jr., is well known in Alaska for his own political activities. He has been twice elected as the president of both the Alaska Federation of Teachers and the Anchorage Council of Education. Nick Begich, Jr.’s current research focuses on the methods, actions, and ethics of various American governmental organizations. He has gained much popularity amongst conspiracy theorists, thanks to his tireless investigation of H.A.A.R.P. He authored the conspiracy theory book Angels Don’t Play this H.A.A.R.P.and appeared on the TV show Conspiracy Theory[4]

Henry Shimizu at The McPherson Library – Uvic

IMAGES OF INTERNMENT: PAINTINGS BY HENRY SHIMIZU

In 1999, Dr. Henry Shimizu created a series of oil paintings based on his
life as a teenager in the New Denver Japanese Internment Camp, BC, from
1942 to 1946. Images of Internment is an attempt to highlight the
activities and lifestyle of the internees in this camp; they are the
memories of a teenager and his friends.

According to Shimizu, despite isolation from mainstream Canadian Society
during this time, the development of young Japanese Canadians progressed
in almost the same pattern as any other Canadian teenager. One would have
thought that this internment experience would have embittered this group
and led to widespread despair and depression. Instead, says Shimizu, they
came away from the experience more determined to be successful Canadians,
contrary to the intention of those who promoted and carried out this
injustice of internment and exile.

Shimizu will also present a lecture on Nov. 23 at 3:30 p.m. titled ” A
Journey to the Past and Present: The History of the Japanese-Canadian
Internment in 1942 to 1946; Life in the New Denver Internment Camp” at the
Mearns Centre adjacent to UVic Archives.

This free exhibition runs November 19, 2011, to February 2, 2012, at the
Maltwood Prints and Drawings Gallery on the lower level of the McPherson
Library, University of Victoria.

Cracks Open in Iran Nuke Charges

Many Washington pundits who championed the false tales about Iraq’s WMD have returned to center stage in the new accusations about Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program. And some of the Iran charges are falling apart just like the Iraq ones, as Gareth Porter reports.

 

By Gareth Porter

 

A former inspector for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repudiated its major new claim that Iran built an explosives chamber to test components of a nuclear weapon and carry out a simulated nuclear explosion.

The IAEA claim that a foreign scientist – identified in news reports as Vyacheslav Danilenko – had been involved in building the alleged containment chamber also has now been denied firmly by Danilenko himself in an interview with Radio Free Europe published on Friday.

The latest report by the IAEA cited “information provided by Member States” that Iran had constructed “a large explosives containment vessel in which to conduct hydrodynamic experiments” – meaning simulated explosions of nuclear weapons – in its Parchin military complex in 2000.

METAMORPHOSIS

Sarah Jenkinson

Sarah Jenkinson has been painting since 2008, and her work is exhibited now in a salon next to the Spiral Cafe on Craigflower.

My wife and I were quite impressed when we intruded today to inquire whose amazingly psychedelic work was on display there.

Sarah Jenkinson’s mandalas brighten up the salon’s walls and are for sale, and Appointments are suggested for a visit, but the owners were very accomodating, nevertheless.

Subject: Smart This BC Hydro! Occupy Smart Meters Petition – Over Half Way to the goal of 10,000!

I think a collective cheer can be raised as we are now at 5,100 on the Occupy Smart Meters online petition, and the hard copies are probably about 1,000 to 2,000 – looking good and HALF WAY TO OUR GOAL OF 10,000!

Keep putting it out for more people to sign on all the different avenues, as well as remembering to total the numbers on the hard copy petitions and fax to John Horgan’s office at 250-387-4680.

Keep the goal of 10,000 in your mind – everyone think 10,000 signatures – that would be a fantastic achievement, and it is so easy for 10,000 to become 20,000, and 20,000 to become 40,000 and so on. Then the politicians will become wary of our power, and that is how this will work in everyone’s favour.

Keep going – retweet, more on facebook, put the word out everywhere you can – if each person gets one more signature, we are there!

Smart This, BC Hydro!

Occupy Smart Meters – NO-vember 19 update

Over Half Way to Goal of 10,000 signatures by November 22!

Awesome! Keep Going!
