Fukushima: “An Ongoing Global Radiological Catastrophe”. “A Huge Coverup”. Dr. Helen Caldicott

accountability business technology corruption Japan mainstream media politics environment deceit cover-up

The eight year anniversary of the triple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility passed mostly without comment in mainstream media circles. In spite of ongoing radiological contamination that will continue to spread and threaten human health for lifetimes to come, other stories dominate the international news cycle. The climate change conundrum, serious though it may be, seemingly crowds out all other clear and present environmental hazards.

As part of efforts to normalize this historic event and cover it up in its magnitude, the Japanese government has invested considerable financial, public relations and other resources into what they are billing the ‘Recovery Olympics‘ set to take place in a year’s time in Tokyo.

But Helen Caldicott warns that the dangers associated with Fukushima have not gone away and remain a cause for concern.  (more...)

Dr Ellen Lacter : Ritual Abuse & Mind Control


People who have survived ritual abuse or mind control experiments have often been silenced, accused of lying, mocked and disbelieved. Clinicians working with survivors often find themselves isolated, facing the same levels of disbelief and denial from other professionals within the mental health field. This report - based on proceedings from a conference on the subject - presents knowledge and experience from both clinicians and survivors to promote understanding and recovery from organized and ritual abuse, mind control and programming. The book combines clinical presentations, survivors' voices, and research material to help address the ways in which we can work clinically with mind control and cult programming from the perspective of relational psychotherapy.

Behind Closed Doors of Perception: The Use of Psychoactive Substances in Canadian Defence During the 1950's

science research Medicine mental illness drugs fascism CIA Canada cold war LSD MKULTRA psychiatry

During the cold war era of the 1950s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Canada’s Defence Research Board (DRB) raced to develop new innovations in mind control. In the 1970s the DRB and CIA’s use of LSD on unknowing humans was publicly released. Alleged victims rarely had documentation to support their claims, records were extremely difficult to obtain and agencies argued how patients being treated for mental illness could be trusted as a reliable source of information. Despite trying to cover up LSD experimentation, and establishing a long line of red tape to defuse legal liability of Canadian United States (U.S.) intelligence communities, both countries handed-out millions of dollars in settlements twenty years later. This essay will not only illustrate why the CIA chose to fund medical experiments on Canadians on Canadian soil, but will also explain how and why the DRB allowed the American security agencies to conduct mind control experiments in Canada. Dr. Cameron started off as someone who was probably one of the most enlightened psychiatrists in Canada but during the Cold War he was recruited by the CIA to conduct mind-control experiments using D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Following World War II, Dr. Ewen Cameron practiced psychiatry at Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal where patients were brutalized and maimed with drugs, shocks and lobotomies as Cameron sought a means to “depattern” and “re-program” the human mind. Some patients were given LSD every two days. Then, during a long sleep, the patient would a be forced to listen to subliminal messages that were supposed to print new, sometimes bizarre, thoughts on his blank mind. According to one of Cameron’s victims, Robert Loguey, the speaker behind his pillow rang out “you killed your mother, you killed your mother.” In 2004, out of the hundreds of patients that received this treatment, only seventy seven have received compensation from the Canadian government. This type of experimental treatment may have been acceptable during the 1950s due to neglect and a manifestation that science could cure all of society’s social ills. The scientific revolution of the twentieth century paved the way for technology and science to replace religion. Even so, why were Canadian government officials allowing these experiments to happen?  (more...)



Luciferian Dirty Hands: Scholar calls for solidarity with neo-Nazis in the new 'immoral anthropology'

academia anthropology Nazi eugenics crime education fascism hate racism xenophobia genocide Luciferianism

Canada’s decision to list far-right racist groups for the first time as terrorist organizations has grave criminal consequences for anyone who would provide them support.

What is less obvious is the risk this law might pose to anthropologists, ethnologists and other social scientists who study them up close.

For a scholar who studies violent fringe movements with a coolly critical air of objective detachment, or with outright hostility to their ideology, there are no obvious problems. But a provocative new article in a leading anthropology journal by an American ethnographer of Nordic white nationalists says these approaches are misguided and moralistic.

In “Collaborating with the Radical Right: Scholar-Informant Solidarity and the Case for an Immoral Anthropology,” Benjamin Teitelbaum argues that detached observation is the wrong way to seek deep insight about fringe communities, just as it was for the pith helmeted colonial scholars who looked on their subjects with condescension and arrogance.  (more...)

German Neo-Nazi Alarm Prompted by Assassination

crime hate racism xenophobia islamophobia fascism immigration Nazi violence police paramilitary

Possible links between the assassination of a German politician to members of highly violent underground neo-Nazi groups are alarming Germany’s security agencies. A murder confession midweek by a far-right extremist is stoking fears in the country about a possible resurgence in organized neo-Nazi violence.

The confession Wednesday by Stephan Ernst, a 45-year-old German man with a string of convictions for anti-migrant crimes, to the murder earlier this month of Walter Luebcke, a pro-migrant politician in the state of Hesse, is raising the specter of far-right terrorism.

Some security experts fear Germany could be on the cusp of more far-right violence and heading for a repeat of a murder spree seen in the late 2000s, when dozens of people were killed by members of a militant group calling itself the National Socialist Underground, NSU.

Investigators say Ernst had ties not only with the ultra-nationalist National Democratic Party of Germany but also with Combat 18, a violent neo-Nazi group which originated in Britain but has spread to other European countries and also has chapters in the United States and Canada.

Combat 18 members have been suspected in numerous murders of immigrants. The “18” in the group’s name is derived from the initials of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler - A and H are the first and eighth letters in the Latin alphabet.

On Wednesday, the Canadian government proscribed Combat 18 and the related neo-Nazi group Blood & Honor, the first time right-wing extremist groups have been added to Canada’s list of terrorist organizations.  (more...)

Former Catholic priest Barry McGrory found guilty of historic sex assaults

abuse boys Catholic crime gay clergy homosexuality pedophilia rape

Defrocked Catholic priest Barry McGrory has been found guilty of sexually abusing two teenage boys in a church rectory during the early years of his long and sordid clerical career.

McGrory, 85, showed no emotion as Superior Court Justice Michelle O’Bonsawin delivered her verdict Monday.

“I find that Mr. McGrory preyed on the vulnerability of these complainants,” O’Bonsawin said in finding McGrory guilty on two counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency.

“Mr. McGrory used his position as a parish priest,” she said, “to exploit vulnerable and naïve young men for his own sexual satisfaction.”

Based on evidence in the case, O’Bonsawin found that McGrory used alcohol to groom one troubled young victim, and medication to “destabilize” another.

“Mr. McGrory’s crimes were all the more serious because of his trusted position in the community,” the judge said. “He infiltrated their families and used their faith in him to take advantage of the complainants.”  (more...)

The American militia movement, a breeding ground for hate, is pulling in cops on Facebook

Facebook paramilitary militia white supremacy hate racism xenophobia islamophobia police fascism Nazi

In the years since he founded the Oath Keepers in 2009, Stewart Rhodes has made a bold claim: Within the ranks of his sprawling anti-government militia are thousands of retired and active law enforcement officers.

Rhodes’ organization embraces wild conspiracy theories. Like the Three Percenters and other militia groups, the Oath Keepers refuse to recognize the authority of the federal government. Instead, many inside the movement claim that local sheriffs and police chiefs are the highest-ranking officials in America and that the Constitution is the only legitimate law governing the United States. It is part of a broader militia movement that has proven to be a breeding ground for racism and domestic terrorism.

It’s been difficult to figure out whether Rhodes’ claims were real or simply bluster, because of the secretive nature of the movement and because cops tend to keep their militia affiliations quiet, fearing disciplinary action.

However, over the last year, Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting identified almost 150 current and retired cops who were members of Facebook groups run by and for Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other militias. These law enforcement officers are a subset of a larger contingent of cops we identified as members of Confederate, anti-Islam, misogynistic or other extremist groups on Facebook.  (more...)

Bernardin and Satanism


Transcript and comments:

Background:

The allegation about Bernardin participating with Bishop John J. Russell in a Satanic ritual should not be surprising. I was invited (I refused) to such a ritual by my college don at the University of Toronto. This fellow was Italian-American, nominally Catholic, a former seminarian, and very connected into Freemasonry.  It seems to be de rigueur among the power elite in the West, as is supported here:

That lingering odor of saurkraut, or is it corpses? Secret German Armies

treason collaboration Nazi paramilitary fascism geopolitics secret societies stay behind armies terrorism assassination Catholic

...I would like to take a brief digression to Germany. The various stay-behind efforts there during the early Cold War further elaborate the Cercle complex's control over the various stay-behind networks, including the private ones. As was noted in part four, the "Anello" (Italy's principal private stay-behind network) appears to have been under the direct control of famed Italian statesman Giulio Andreotti (as was the Propaganda Due [P2] Masonic lodge, allegedly), a co-founder of Le Cercle. In Belgium, but the official and private stay-behind networks appear to have been directed by Paul Vanden Boeynants (aka VdB) and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin (aka the Black Baron), both of whom were actively involved with the Cercle complex since at least the 1970s.

In the case of Germany, there appear to have been similar connections. I would have outlined these in part four had I not forgotten about some crucial information a reader kindly provided in the comment section of the first installment of this series (hat tip Robert). But by giving these events their own installment, I'll be able to more fully explore the murky netherworld of the German stay-behind networks, which are quite curious (to put it mildly).  (more...)

Philip Agee on Neo Fascism and the Far Right In Europe (1992)


Fascist movements are increasingly active throughout Europe and the former Soviet Union. Areas of the Balkans are "ethnically cleansed." Asians are attacked in Britain. Arabs are assaulted in France. Turks are murdered in Germany. While the targets of racism and hate have mostly changed, the rhetoric of vituperation is basically the same. What is startling and not well known is that U.S. policies in postwar Europe assured the survival of Nazism in Germany and fascism in general throughout the continent. The United States found it expedient, because of Cold War politics, to recruit, employ and protect war criminals.

Philip Agee was a former Central Intelligence Agency officer who served in Latin America. After resigning from the CIA he lectured and wrote on the Agency's clandestine operations. His activities were not unnoticed. Ex-CIA Director and later President Bush the first called Agee "a traitor to our country." He is the author of Inside the Company: CIA Diary and On the Run. He died in Cuba in January 2008.

“US agents in Brasil” were active in Operation Lava Jato

accountability Brazil fascism corruption politics justice imperialism subversion interference sovereignty

Under the Dilma Rousseff administration, José Eduardo Cardozo, then Minister of Justice, was once advised by Leandro Daiello, head of the Federal Police (PF) at that time, of the presence of United States attorneys in Curitiba. Cardozo sought out Rodrigo Janot, then head of the Attorney General’s office, to find out what that was.

He heard that the Americans had come to deliver an invitation.

The leaked conversations between Sérgio Moro and Deltan Dallagnol show that in at least one Lava Jato action there was “articulação with the Americans.” (links, negotiations, joint efforts). International collaboration, particularly with the USA, was essential to Lava Jato. And it included the physical presence of Americans in Brazil.

Their presence here was described by Attorney General Raquel Dodge in a letter dated July 28, 2018. It was a response to a request made by the PT (Workers Party) leader in Congress, Paulo Pimenta (RS), based on the Freedom of Information act. The ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs were also contacted by the PT via LAI, but they refused to respond.  (more...)

Hate is all around you

accountability fascism immigration Nazi police business Hollywood hate racism xenophobia white supremacy banks finance
In the second part of Reveal’s series about hate, we look at how racism and white supremacy are institutionalized in America.

We start with Reveal’s Will Carless, who over the past year has been tracking police officers’ activity on Facebook, finding that hundreds of them belong to racist groups connected to the Confederacy, Islamophobic groups, misogynistic groups and groups connected to violent anti-government militias. He takes us inside this online world where officers share racist memes, and jokes and share conspiracy theories.

We then look at banking and finance, beginning with highlights from Reveal’s exposé about mortgage lending and how it skews in favor of white borrowers. Then, Al Letson talks with University of Georgia law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, who explains how other aspects of the banking system are stacked against poor people of color.

We end with a look at Hollywood, and how African Americans are represented in films and in the movie business. Al speaks with Brooke Obie, author and managing editor of the film/TV site Shadow and Act.

Inside hate groups on Facebook, police officers trade racist memes, conspiracy theories and Islamophobia

eugenics fascism Nazi police hate racism xenophobia anti-semitism islamophobia white supremancy

Hundreds of active-duty and retired law enforcement officers from across the United States are members of Confederate, anti-Islam, misogynistic or anti-government militia groups on Facebook, a Reveal investigation has found.

These cops have worked at every level of American law enforcement, from tiny, rural sheriff’s departments to the largest agencies in the country, such as the Los Angeles and New York police departments. They work in jails and schools and airports, on boats and trains and in patrol cars. And, Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting discovered, they also read and contribute to groups such as “White Lives Matter” and “DEATH TO ISLAM UNDERCOVER.”

The groups cover a range of extremist ideologies. Some present themselves publicly as being dedicated to benign historical discussion of the Confederacy, but are replete with racism inside. Some trade in anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant memes. Some are openly Islamophobic. And almost 150 of the officers we found are involved with violent anti-government groups such as the Oath Keepers and Three Percenters.

More than 50 departments launched internal investigations after being presented with our findings, in some cases saying they would examine officers’ past conduct to see if their online activity mirrored their policing in real life. And some departments have taken action, with at least one officer being fired for violating department policies.  (more...)

Sajjan taken to task about white supremacists in the Canadian Forces

fascism eugenics military Nazi politics hate racism xenophobia anti-semitism islamophobia alt-right
The head of Canada’s anti-hate network is questioning why the Canadian Forces is dragging its heels when it comes to dealing  with white supremacists and neo-Nazis in its ranks even though it was warned about the problem by military police last year.

Canadian Anti-Hate Network Chair Bernie Farber, speaking at a panel discussion in Toronto about white supremacy, questioned why Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and the Canadian Forces leadership haven’t taken significant action even though a November 2018 report warned about the presence of such extremists.

A Military Police Criminal Intelligence Section report, only made public recently through an access to information request, says that between 2013 and 2018 there were 16 identified members of extreme hate groups in the Canadian military. It also noted that members of hate groups go to significant lengths to hide their associations, meaning the number is likely much higher, Farber’s organization noted. Another 37 engaged in racist or hateful behaviour. The report went on to state that as of November 2018, at least thirty of these individuals were still active in the CAF.

“All of the groups identified fall under the far-right spectrum of political discourse and beliefs, specifically anti-Islam and/or white supremacy,” the Nov. 29, 2018 document, obtained by Global News and the Montreal radio station 98.5 FM, pointed out.

The report noted that many hate groups emphasis firearms training and other military skills. As such, Canadian Force members are seen as important recruits for the extreme right. “Drawing on their training and deployment experience, current and former military members find that their skills are valued by these groups,” the military police report pointed out. “Further, they provide structure to these organizations, therefore, affording them the ability to gain positions of leadership.”  (more...)

Teacher touched girls 'multiple times,' sex assault trial told

abuse crime education misconduct pedophilia rape

DURHAM — A judge continues to hear testimony from children who allege they were subjected to inappropriate touching by a Durham elementary school teacher now facing sexual assault charges.

Young witnesses at the trial of Thomas Grieve have provided accounts of hugs, touching and caresses, and, in one instance, a comment — reported by several witnesses — about a student’s breasts.

Grieve has pleaded not guilty to a 30-count indictment alleging he committed sexual assault and sexual interference against the children, with whom he is alleged to have come into contact through his roles as a teacher and a coach. His trial began May 28.

Grieve, 40, taught Grade 6 through Grade 8, at Whitby’s Robert Munsch Public School from 2011 to 2018, and prior to that taught at E.A. Fairman Public School, also in Whitby. He was arrested in March of 2018.

It’s alleged Grieve’s inappropriate contact with children meets the definition of sexual assault, prosecutor Tammy D’Eri told Judge Marquis Felix as the trial began.

In testimony Wednesday, June 12, a girl told the court that she and her friends were subjected to touching by Grieve “multiple times.”

“Mr. Grieve started being touchy. It escalated,” said the 14-year-old. “He hugged us and as he hugged us, he would also touch our side and our butt area.”  (more...)

Dirty money: it’s a Canadian thing

accountability transparency business corruption crime real estate money laundering

On paper, Peter Zhang and his wife, Judy Wang, were models for the type of newcomers Canada wanted to attract with its immigrant investor program. Before it was scrapped in 2014, the program’s aim was simple: lure the world’s wealthy to Canada’s shores with the promise of a passport. In return they would bring their business savvy, invest in the economy and create jobs.

Zhang and Wang were undeniably rich. They arrived from China at the end of 2010 with at least $6 million, settling in the suburbs north of Toronto. But almost immediately after, a twisting tale was set in motion that would eventually see Wang accuse a realtor, a lawyer and others of fraud and negligence, and prompt an Ontario judge to raise questions about both the source of Zhang and Wang’s wealth and a string of real estate and mortgage transactions tied to the case.

At the start of 2011, the couple bought their first home, a six-bed, five-bath pile in Richmond Hill, Ont., for $1.25 million—and paid for it entirely in cash. By February, however, Zhang and Wang had separated, claiming in court that they divorced in 2013, though Ontario Superior Court Justice Paul Perell, in a November 2017 decision on a procedural matter in the lawsuit, described the divorce decree as “suspicious.” (In an email through her lawyer, Wang now says they divorced in June 2018.) Regardless, the pair continued to buy and develop three more Richmond Hill and nearby Thornhill properties together, largely in cash, through their joint company Yi Hao Investments. Wang bought a fourth property on her own in Vaughan with a 100 per cent loan-to-value mortgage from RBC in 2017. All told, she and Zhang bought five properties, worth $9.3 million at the time of purchase.

Aside from real estate, a considerable chunk of Zhang and Wang’s wealth was going to cover Zhang’s gambling activities. Over the next several years, Wang testified, she transferred up to $6 million to him from the sale of properties. (Justice Perell noted in his decision that neither Wang nor Zhang had any employment or business interests in Canada beyond real estate investing.) Meanwhile, the couple entered into a series of byzantine mortgage transactions with real estate agent Yan-Ling Ding and lawyer Rahul Kesarwani to generate cash for Zhang’s gambling.  (more...)


Order of Canada recipient Peter Dalglish found guilty in Nepal of sexually assaulting children

abuse boys crime homosexuality child prostitution pedophilia rape

An Order of Canada recipient found guilty of sexually assaulting children intends to appeal a verdict delivered this week, 14 months after he was arrested at his house overlooking the Himalayas in Nepal, where he had spent the night with two young boys.

Peter Dalglish, a globe-trotting advocate for children who held multiple United Nations posts, was accused of sexually abusing the two boys, who provided graphic but inconsistent accounts of what they said Mr. Dalglish did to them. Police also found pictures of naked children in his home, although, Mr. Dalglish has argued those images were innocent in nature.

A court in Nepal found him guilty this week, although, it has not yet released the detailed text of the verdict. Sentencing is not likely to take place for another month.

The verdict comes after a series of delays in court proceedings that Mr. Dalglish’s legal counsel has likened to harassment.

“It just shows that they wanted him in prison,” said Rahul Chapagain, a Kathmandu-based lawyer who has represented him.

Mr. Dalglish did not speak when the verdict was delivered, Mr. Chapagain said.

“Obviously, we took the news as a shock, but we sustained him. He was relatively calm,” Mr. Chapagain said. Friends in Nepal were present, as were Canadian diplomats, he said.

“We respect the court’s decision, but we will appeal,” he added.

The case against Mr. Dalglish has been marked by vivid allegations and dramatic contradictions.  (more...)

The Racist Origins of America’s Tech Industry

racism eugenics pseudo-science fascism eugenics Nazi technology anthropology

On a freezing day in December 1896, an American inventor by the name of Herman Hollerith rushed to catch a train out of the Russian city of St. Petersburg. He wore a fur cap and a thick fur-lined coat with a huge collar buttoned up all the way over his ears. It covered his mouth as well as his big droopy mustache — leaving just a bit of pink flesh peeking out at the world.

Hollerith was a hypochondriac who preferred staying at home with his wife and mother-in-law, tinkering with inventions. He hated travel, and he hated traveling in Europe most of all. Like a 19th-century version of a tech bro, he was obsessed with efficiency and mocked the locals for being bogged down by time-wasting traditions. “They are all living in what happened thousands of years ago,” he wrote to his wife from Italy. “I saw them cutting lumber on the road from Naples to Pompeii, and, when I got to Pompeii, I found paintings on walls showing exactly the same way of cutting lumber.”

For all his grumbling about travel, the inventor had come far in his own life. Hollerith was only 36 years old and had been raised in a modest home by a widowed mother in New York, yet he had just spent weeks rubbing shoulders with aristocrats from one the most exotic royal dynasties in the world. And now he was on his way back home with a fat and juicy contract for his new business venture.

A few years earlier, Russian Czar Nicholas II issued an imperial decree ordering his ministers to carry out the Russian Empire’s first countrywide census. With the 1897 deadline looming, they were scrambling to comply. They knew it was going to be a monumental task — and perhaps an impossible one.

The people in charge of the census knew the only way to finish the job in a reasonable amount of time would be to use the most advanced technology on the market. And that’s where the 36-year-old Hollerith came in.  (more...)

Dofo's Ontario: Hamilton Becoming Front Line of Ontario Hate Group Activity

fascism Nazi violence hate racism xenophobia anti-semitism islamophobia alt-right

On Saturday, a Yellow Vests Hamilton rally at City Hall brought out a crowd of between 30 and 50, including the Soldiers of Odin, Proud Boys, the Canadian Nationalist Party, the leader of which recently released an antisemitic video about the “parasitic tribe,” and others.

Two hate group members were arrested, one for attacking a photographer taking pictures the Canadian Anti-Hate Network commissioned for this article and another for headbutting a counter-demonstrator, according to witnesses.

Street-level Yellow Vest activity has declined across Canada following their convoy to Ottawa in February. The anti-Muslim groups, which often played a large role in YV demonstrations, have gone back to organizing under their own banners.

Hamilton is an outlier to this trend. The Hamilton Yellow Vests are now holding regular demonstrations again that bring out the most militant anti-Muslim hate groups and both the rhetoric and violence is escalating.

Yellow Vests Canada Exposed has documented hundreds of calls to violence on Canadian Yellow Vest pages. Several YV supporters are facing charges of uttering threats, such as video blogger Rick Boswick. Others have been arrested and found with, or claim to have, stockpiles of weapons. YV Facebook pages are full of conspiracy theories, anti-Muslim bigotry, and calls for the public officials to be executed.  (more...)

Over several decades, dozens of students were sexually abused by three different teachers at one Ottawa high school. Some students spoke up and told other teachers. But it wasn't until 2016 that any criminal charges were laid.

Senior reporter Julie Ireton has been investigating this story of historical sexual abuse for more than a year, for the new CBC podcast, The Band Played On. Today on Front Burner, she describes what happened to these students, how it was allowed to go on for so long, and what can be done to prevent similar kinds of abuse today.

Counter-Intelligence -- Shining a Light on Black Operations

accountability CIA corruption business crime fascism assassination terrorism paramilitary violence war politics plutocracy

Scott Noble is an extraordinarily productive filmmaker who has built up an impressive treasure trove of documentaries at Metanoia Films. The films deal with topics such as the plutocracy’s determination to entrench and maintain its power and wealth through myriad means — among them psychological ops, black ops, propaganda, disinformation, and more. Last year, after watching Counter-Intelligence which relates how the tentacles of espionage agencies have permeated governments and societies, domestically and abroad, I began an email interview exchange with Noble to flesh out further points raised in the film.

Kim Petersen: What was your goal in making Counter-Intelligence?

Scott Noble: My basic goal was to help people understand intelligence agencies and the techniques they use to advance policy. Most documentaries dealing with e.g. the CIA attempt to prove or disprove a particular theory about a controversial event. There is little in the way of structural analysis. In making the film I set out to explore how these agencies function in the real world. How do they keep secrets? What are some common m.o.’s? What is their ultimate purpose? In a broader sense I wanted to ask whether democracy is even possible when organizations like the CIA exist. We are currently living under a hybrid of plutocracy (from plouto, “wealth”) and cryptocracy (from krypton, “hidden”) that benefits about 1 percent of the human population. It’s no secret we’re ruled by the rich, but there is a relative lack of understanding about just how much information is kept hidden from the public. A 2004 study by Peter Galison at Harvard concluded that “the classified universe is certainly not smaller, and very probably much larger than this unclassified one.”  (more...)

DURHAM — Thomas Grieve went from being the “cool” teacher kids liked to hang out with to the creepy guy who was too “touchy,” after numerous allegations of sexual assault against him surfaced, a young witness has testified.

“He was known as the nice, funny sports teacher,” the girl, who alleges she was touched inappropriately by Grieve, testified Tuesday, June 4. “I guess I thought he was cool.”

Grieve has pleaded not guilty to a 30-count indictment alleging he committed sexual assault and sexual interference against the children, with whom he is alleged to have come into contact through his roles as a teacher and a coach. His trial began May 28.

It’s alleged Grieve’s inappropriate contact with children meets the definition of sexual assault, prosecutor Tammy D’Eri told Judge Marquis Felix as the trial began. The Crown alleges the incidents occurred between 2010 and early 2018. The identities of the young complainants are protected under a publication ban.

In cross-examination Tuesday, the girl told defence lawyer Justin Nasseri that, after news of Grieve’s arrest broke, children’s attitudes toward the popular teacher changed. She agreed with Nasseri that Grieve came to be seen as a “creepy” guy after the allegations surfaced.

“A lot of people were telling me they knew there was something up with him, or he was touching certain girls,” she said. “It was after somebody had spoken out against him.”  (more...)

Sexual abuse in schools a persistent menace, data shows

abuse accountability crime education misconduct pedophilia rape

A national charity that tracks sexual abuse and exploitation of children has found the problem of teachers molesting students in Canada isn't going away.

According to ongoing research by the Winnipeg-based Canadian Centre for Child Protection, there have been 108 alleged or confirmed reports of sexual abuse in schools in the past 17 months.

That's more than one new case every week, similar to the previous 20-year trend.

"If that's not telling that we still have a problem, I don't know what is, because that's hard-fact data," said Noni Classen, the centre's director of education.

Of the 108 most recent cases, tracked from Jan. 1, 2018, there have been 36 criminal convictions or disciplinary findings. Many of the remaining cases have yet to make their way through the courts.

Between 1997 and 2017, the centre counted nearly 1,300 alleged or confirmed cases of abuse by a school employee in Canada. Classen said the rate of false claims by students is very low.

Researchers collected the data by combing through court records, media reports and the provincial organizations that regulate teachers.  (more...)



Nazis R Us: Where is the outrage?

accountaility fascism military Nazi politics hate racism xenophobia anti-Semitism

Why are 30 of those members identified in the military document still reportedly serving in the Canadian Armed Forces? On what basis were members of hate groups within the CAF determined not to be a threat? Is the report stating they aren’t a threat to the combat readiness of the CAF, or towards Canadians in general? Does the CAF find it concerning that they are training and providing access to military weaponry to members of hate groups?

Those of us who are monitoring hate groups in Canada could hardly believe our eyes.

Last week, a 2018 report titled, “White Supremacy, Hate Groups, and Racism in the Canadian Armed Forces,” written by Canadian Military Police Criminal Intelligence Section was made public through the Access to Information Act.

It raises serious concerns but you wouldn’t know it from the report’s conclusions. Despite finding that between 2013 and 2018, there were 53 Canadian Armed Forces members connected to hate groups or hate activity, apparently there’s no reason for worry.  (more...)

Our veterans fought the scourge of Nazism and hatred.

No, Bernie. That's not how it was.  I was a member of the Forces and grew up among veterans. They did not share our values.  Their employers traded profligately with the enemy.  Well before the end of the war, the Western allies, minus the Soviet Union, plotted the Cold War and ensured that the Nazis would be available to participate in it.  Europe was looted and its wealth hidden underground to fund covert operations.  Idealists like you were butchered by the thousands.  Nazi paramilitaries or their precursors have been with us for a century.  They're laughing down their sleeves as you read this.


Protecting the Independence and Integrity of Research

accountability education corruption business research influence

Inappropriate financial donor influence at institutions of higher education appears to be on the rise, as exemplified by recent controversies at (among other schools) George Mason University, Florida State University, the University of Kansas, Case Western Reserve University, Saint Louis University, Carleton University, and Chapman University. Such influence is part of the growing concern over financial elites using philanthropic activity to turn private wealth into public influence, thereby subverting democratic principles...

Public trust in the integrity of scholarship is vital if academia is to advance the public interest. Undue financial donor influence has the potential to bias scholarship and compromise truth-seeking, thereby undermining public trust. In particular, researchers funded by donors granted inappropriate influence are less likely to be wholly independent—consequently, the integrity of their scholarship is more likely to be called into question.

Norms of academic freedom and institutional independence—sustained by the practice of faculty governance over academic matters—have historically safeguarded the integrity of scholarship and promoted public trust. By violating well-accepted academic norms, inappropriate financial donor influence erodes public trust and diminishes the value of academic research to society...  (more...)

The CIA Doctors: Human Rights Violations by American Psychiatrists

CIA psychiatry drugs military research medicine accountability books mind control MKULTRA

Dr. Colin Ross does a great job providing a factual and provable review of the past history of unethical human research including non-consensual research funded by United States Military and intelligence agencies in collaboration with educational institutions such as Harvard, John Hopkins, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford; pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lily; medical schools and hospitals; the American Psychological Association; the National Institutes of Health, the Veterans Administration Center, U.S. Public Health Service and others.

Examples of past non-consensual experimentation include the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, The Manhattan Project, The Willowbrook Experiment, and Radiation Experiments.

Mind control experiments such as Project CHATTER, Project BLUEBIRD, Project ARTICHOKE, Project MKULTRA, Project MKSEARCH, Project MKNAOMI and others were often interwoven with radiation experiments and research on chemical and biological weapons. Dr. Ross highlights the importance of recognizing that psychiatrists, psychologists, neurosurgeons and other contractors conducting the work were embedded in a broad network of doctors and some of the research was published in medical journals. He points out that the medical community has never admitted or addressed these abuses.

Thousands of U.S. citizens and others are continuing to report being victims of covert non-consensual research in a manner similar to MKULTRA but with the addition of newer technologies.
