This creates precisely the type of environment where hacker-vigilaties will be not just tolerated, but positively embraced by a population that feels increasingly under attack by the very institutions created to ensure their individual rights.
Let’s not make any mistakes about it: it is not Twitter and Google who are increasingly censoring us, the members of online communities. Even though they facilitate access to the virtual world of the web, they are themselves physical corporations which exist in the real world, very much subject to the whims of real-world governments.
As such, they are subject to the arbitrary rules which various governments impose on corporations operating within their physical boundaries.
It is unreasonable for us to expect that these corporations will put the freedom on the internet above their ability to physically survive…
So, you may blame them for buckling – but don’t blame them for imposing the censorship itself: the blame lies directly with our governments, our regulating bodies, and us, the citizens, who permit this encroachment!
The solution?
We must all fight to prevent all governments from usurping jurisdiction over the internet, the way they have been doing!
How?
I don’t know. Yes, I have been thinking about this for a long time, but there simply is no clear answer.
The easiest solution I suspect would be to continue the efforts to create alternatives to the ‘pipelines’ that ISPs use to deliver internet connections, but the more people try to solve this, the more actual attempts there are to make the web truly uncontrollable and impossible to be regulated by anyone or anything anywhere, the better chance there is of success.
So – keep your elective representatives responsible – and keep hacking!
This video raises a number of things that I have been wondering about.
For example, the uniformed police officers do not display their badge numbers, making it impossible to identify them. Is this legal? If so, should it remain so?
Another question: what recourse does a population have if a police force either refuses to enforce the laws of the land or enforces illegal orders?
In my never-humble-opinion, the only way an organizational corruption of this scale can be tackled is by holding the individuals within the organization personally responsible for their actions, including holding them personally responsible for following illegal orders to the maximum level the law permits. Yes, this would mean legal action against individual police officers – if not criminal, then civil – even if these police officers are nice individuals. Still, if they follow an illegal order, they must be accountable for this breech of law.
Of course, these are easy words to type and there is a world of difference between writing this and actually doing something about it. Still, one ought to gather as much information first…
So, if you are knowledgable on this topic, please, comment and educate me on the laws, rules and procedures – and any other options legally available. It would be much appreciated.
Because to my way of thinking, this is not a ‘native/non-native’ issue: this is a policing issue and equality before the law issue!
UPDATE: Here is a comment posted by Mark Vandermaas, which, in my neve-humble-opinion, is important enough to bump it into the ‘body’ of the post:
The scary part of Caledonia is that all the organizations, gov’t and NGO, that should have been pro-active in protecting the rights of the innocent were unwilling or unable to help: Human Rights Commission; Ombudsman (wanted to help, but not allowed to get involved in police issues); the Opposition (oh, how we tried); the Federal govt (not only wouldn’t they help Harper annointed Fantino as PC candidate!); the OCCPS (old agency for Police Services Act complaints); Haldimand’s Police Services Board; Haldimand Council (other than former Mayor Trainer); Cdn Civil Liberties Association (repeatedly begged them for help to no avail).
It would be hard to list here everything we tried, but some of the key things that worked well were:
1. Dr. King’s methods of peacefully confronting injustice and forcing them to violate your rights (techniques that he learned from Gandhi to influence the media and the conscience of the nation. When one protests with dignity and is willing to be verbally abused and assaulted without retaliating there is very little defence to this approach. Using it we actually caused the union radicals, anarchists, anti-Israel groups and native militants to curb their violence and aggression because – as one of them said at an anarchist’s conference, we were making THEM look like the racists by applying Dr. King’s methods. Just as King did not demonize whites, we did not demonize native people as a group (the thugs would disagree, of course). We tried our best to ensure people knew that the thugs didn’t speak for the good people of 6N.
2. Civil Lawsuits to a degree. I say that because while there were some important court victories such as the $20M Caledonia Class Action, the Brown-Chatwell settlements and some victories achieved by us via the small claim and superior courts, the fact is that racial policing is still practiced and the gov’t, 6N and the OPP have never apologized or ammended their policies.
3. Private Prosecutions under the CCofC. You know, of course, that Gary M, despite not being a lawyer, convinced the courts to charge 5 individual police officers for offences such as Mischief, Influencing Municipal Official and Obstructing Justice, and even won a case at the Court of Appeal. This has reigned in their abuses quite effectively, but apparently, they still have more to learn.
We’ve tried just about everything during the last 5 years. in the end, it’s not one magic bullet. It’s ordinary people taking advantage of every opportunity when presented and, as Gary says, ‘withstanding the test of time’ (while you’re being vilified, assaulted, and arrested). And…don’t wait for anyone to come to help. But, that’s the wonderful thing! A small group of committed people with no money, no power and no connections really can make a huge difference.
Having said all this, there were some good people who did help and paid a price for doing so. At risk of leaving someone out and inadvertently insulting them, I won’t try to list them. But one guy who doesn’t get enough credit is lawyer John Findlay of the Class Action, a lawyer who represents us in several cases including one where he helped mediate a solution whereby the OPP union finally admitted in writing they had no evidence we were inciting hate and violence. Couldn’t have done it without him.
Sorry to go on so long. Thks for listening.
Readers who want to know more should visit the Caledonia: No More Nightmares page at http://www.HelplessByBlatchford.ca which has videos and notes from our 2011 presentation of the same name in Ottawa – where you and I met. Thanks for being there, and thks for the coverage.

I have little liking for the #occupy folks and have said so before.
But…
There is so much wrong in the police responses to the #occupy evictions that I don’t even know where to begin ranting.
Please, consider the following video:
First, a cop assaults a bunch of #occupiers (he uses unreasonable force against clearly non-violent people who offer no resistance, at least one of whom had to be taken to a hospital for treatment as a result of the assault), then the whole group of cops gets cowed and cowardly runs away when the mob advances on them!
The use of unreasonable force, especially against people who do not resist, is the second worst thing the cops here did. The worst thing they did was to let themselves be run out by the mob. A peaceful mob, but a mob none-the-less.
The lesson here?
If you are non-violent, police will assault you. If you begin to – even just a tiny bit – look menacing, the cops will run away.
Just marvellous…
This sends a clear signal that the police are willing to neither obey nor uphold the rule of law.
Of course, we have seen this type of a response by police before: peaceful citizens are bullied, beaten and arrested while violent law-breakers go unchallenged. This is true from the Islamist rallies in the UK to Caledonia in Ontario and on and on.
All this type of police response will result in is that all protests will take on a violent streak, if only to protect themselves from police violence. People will loose any vestige of trust they still have in the police,and, by extension, in the rule of law.
How can those calling the shots in the police responses not get it?
One cannot help but wonder how one would react in that same situation.
Would I gush over the ‘Sharia cop’, thank her for sharing, deilighting that it is most excellent that we live in a truly free country where the right to be offended is so vigorously upheld? Would I try to convince her that asking us not to film the Muslimas is an infringment on the rights of those very Muslimas to be offended?
Or, would I be delighted to see her and explain that I was just looking for the authorities in order to demand that they intervene and stop (by arresting the perp waiving the Hezbollah flag) the hate-crime-in-progress?
Or, faced with intimmidation by police, would I have the courage to stand up to the cops and say anything at all…
Until I am in that situation, I will not know…
I was surprised that Blazing Cat Fur did not openly continue to videotape the encouter with the ‘Sharia cop’ (for lack of a better term), but rather aimed the camera down – in light of Friday’s Gilk case ruling! (H/T: Blog of Walker)
OK – the ruling came out of the US, but both the US and Canadian constitutions are firmly rooted in the Magna Carta and the British Common Law tradition. Every single one of the (admittedly few – but the experience was universal) times I have spectated in Ontario court rooms, this common root was noted as justification for citing ruling precedents from the US – and yes, each and every one of these US rulings cited impacted on the cases in Ontario courts. So, yes, it is a victory not just in the US – in a very real manner, Canadians are also affected by this ruling which asserts every citizen’s rights to record the police at any time they are in public, without any restrictions (and to publish the recording afterwards).
A clear view of her badge would have been nice!
Of course, more and more often, police officers are no longer upholding the laws of the land. Rather, they blindly carry out the instructions they had been ‘handed from above’ with little regard for the rule of law. Rrather frighteningly, more and more police officers seem quite comfortable remaining ignorant of the very laws they are sworn to uphold!
Tuesday evening, the Free Thinking Film Society presented ‘Caledonia: No More Nightmares’.
It was a memorable evening.
I hesitate to say ‘good’, because even though the speakers were engaging and informative, all the people were pleasant (with only minor exceptions, hardly worth mentioning) and everything was well 0rganized – even the Ottawa Police were friendly and effective – the very fact that the events discussed during this evening happened is deeply troubling.
Here is a taste of what the evening was like:
There was a lot of food for thought there, that evening, and I am still not done thinking it all through – I am a slow thinker. I will write more about this.
The one thing that I learned coming from the evening was this: The ‘bad guys’ here were not ‘The Natives’ – a few residents there misbehaved at the beginning, true, but as soon as there was conflict which the OPP refused to police, militants from all over, of all races and colours, traveled to the 6 Nations land and robbed, raped and otherwise oppressed the Native residents. ‘The Natives’ were just as stuck as Caledonia residents. The OPP refused to help all of them.
The only ones whom the OPP protected were the militants. Yes, some of the militants were Natives. But most of the Natives from 6 Nations were not militants and most of the militants were not from the 6 Nations!
Had the OPP done their job at the beginning, the militants would not have sensed weakness and set up camp in Caledonia. None of this would have happened!
Marie Trainer, who was the Mayor for Haldimand county during these events, gave the most moving speech of the evening. It really brought home just how helpless and abandoned the people – both on the Caledonia/Haldimand county side and on the 6 Nations Reservation side.
One could see just how responsible she felt for her people, how heavily this weighed on her.
She told us an interesting story.
A number of illegal smoke shacks had sprung up in the area. These sell cigarets which have not passed any safety controls, and they sell cigarets to minors. Marie Trainer worked together with the 6 Nations Council to shut down the two smoke shacks on the County property and the two smoke shacks on the 6 Nations land. Now, only the 2 shacks on land owned by the Province of Ontario (controlled by the militants) remained. A representative from 6 Nations and Marie Trainer together went to the Province, asking for action to be taken to shut these illegal smoke shacks which sold tainted cigarettes to minors – to no avail. The Province of Ontario refused to take action to help them!
A quick reminder that tomorrow night (22nd of March, 2011), the ‘Caledonia: No More Nightmares’ presentation is coming to the National Archives Library on Wellington Street. From ‘The Free Thinking Film Society’:
The Free Thinking Film Society & The International Free Press Society Announce
Caledonia: No More Nightmares
The Free Thinking Film Society and the International Free Press Society are proud to present an evening on Caledonia.
This four-part presentation by Gary McHale and Mark Vandermaas – two longtime Caledonia ‘rule of law’ activists who provided a significant portion of the evidence and background for Christie Blatchford’s shocking book Helpless: Caledonia’s Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy, and How the Law Failed Allof Us begins with an introduction to the crisis from the victims’ perspective, and then picks up where Helpless leaves off by examining the national issues at stake; the racial corruption of the justice system by police and government; and concludes with concrete recommendations for moving forward.
* How the Ontario government subverted the Charter of Rights and its own Police Services Act by conducting an illegal ‘peacekeeping’ mission on Canadian soil and misleading the public about its use of the Ipperwash Inquiry’s recommendations to justify its policy of refusing to protect non-natives.
* How the Ontario government and OPP repeatedly attacked the character and motivations of non-native rule of law activists, but remained completely silent about the critical role played by anarchists and anti-Israel groups in supporting native crime groups in Caledonia and Brantford for their own anti-capitalist objectives since May 2006.
* How aboriginals, too, have been untended victims of policing policies that allow illegal occupation sites to become lawless ‘home-free zones’ for rape, assault, arson, drug use and gun violence.
* How the Ontario government interfered with Caledonia policing, and used the OPP to target non-native activists.
* How the Attorney General stopped a terrorism charge from proceeding against a native blockade ringleader.
* How OPP officers, including senior brass, intervened with reference letters in order to attempt to obtain reduced sentences for native protesters and/or ensure charges against them – including several for assaulting police officers – were not laid at all.
* How the former OPP Commissioner met and joked with native protesters at a meeting on Six Nations called to seek his help in eliminating criminal charges, but refused the Haldimand mayor’s request to meet with Caledonia’s most aggrieved non-native victims.
* How native radicals use vexatious land claims to create instant government payouts for themselves while opening the door to legalized lawlessness.
* How OPP officers, while secretly under the direction of native ringleaders, broke Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) protocols during a Dec 01/07 protest by residents at an illegal smokeshack — which was selling cigarettes to the town’s children – during which non-natives and police officers were repeatedly assaulted and some sent to hospital – including one who suffered a permanent brain injury.
McHale and Vandermaas will conclude with a discussion of their proposed ‘Caledonia Act’ – a list of specific legislative and policy recommendations based on their combined eight years experience working as full time volunteers to confront race-based policing in and outside the courts.
In today’s ‘post-Helpless’ search for answers to the question, Where do we go from here?’ McHale and Vandermaas set out a realistic healing process for Caledonia and Six Nations that is founded, not on the demands and appeasement of radicals, but on time-tested concepts of truth, justice, equality, and respect for all human beings irrespective of race, religion or grievance.
All guests will receive a copy of the presenters’ ‘Caledonia Act’ recommendations as well as a DVD containing just a small fraction of the evidence at their disposal – 600+ files consisting of documents, photos, and videos as submitted to Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice by Mr. McHale in his defence against a $7.1M SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) filed by the Ontario Provincial Police Association in 2007 against him after he claimed police officers were not upholding their oaths of office in Caledonia.
Signed copies of Christie Blatchford’s Helpless will be available for sale.
This event should not be missed by any Canadian politician or policy researcher who cares about one of the most important issues facing Canada today – the preservation of our country’s rule of law in the face of extremist factions seeking to destroy cherished Canadian values for their own selfish ends.
Who will be at Caledonia: No More Nightmares
Gary McHale
Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality
In 2006, Gary McHale created CaledoniaWakeUpCall.com in response to the failure of media to accurately report the facts of Caledonia. The site now has more than 14,000 news stories and documents read by over one million visitors, and Gary has been interviewed more than 700 times by journalists across Canada.
In 2007 Gary formed Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality to oppose race-based policing in Ontario. His quest has resulted in numerous death threats, and denial of legal counsel and rental accommodations out of fear of reprisals by aboriginal protesters.
Gary spent a night in jail without charge for wanting to raise a Canadian flag, and was later forced to defend himself against what Christie Blatchford called a ‘bizarre’ charge of ‘counselling mischief not committed’ which was withdrawn after two senior OPP officers were charged with Obstructing Justice.
Blatchford’s Helpless, which lays out irrefutable evidence proving the OPP did, indeed, follow racially-based orders not to uphold the rule of law in Caledonia, acknowledges the assistance Gary and wife Christine provided to the author. Mark Vandermaas
Caledonia Victims Project
Mark Vandermaas is a former Canadian soldier and UN peacekeeper. After his arrest on Dec 16, 2006 with Gary McHale while attempting to raise a Canadian flag, Mark put his career as a real estate broker on hold to work as a full time ‘rule of law’ activist.
He was the leader of the 2007 Ipperwash Papers project, and has written more than 400 Caledonia-related articles for his blog VoiceofCanada.ca.
In 2010 Mark started the Caledonia Victims Project to begin organizing the key evidence and background information which will be needed by post-Helpless policy researchers. He and Gary are co-founders of the HelplessByBlatchford project – a resource created to educate Canadians about the many important issues raised by the Caledonia crisis.
Merlyn Kimrade (Caledonia Resident)
Merlyn Kinrade has lived more than 60 years of his life in Caledonia. He is a former member of the Royal Canadian Navy who served on one of the most famous ships in Canadian naval history, HMCS Haida. His service included a tour of duty in Egypt on a United Nations peacekeeping mission during the 1956 Suez crisis. He has a long history of contributions to the children of Caledonia and Six Nations through sports sponsorship and coaching. For the last four years he has – as a co-founder of CANACE – Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality – worked with Gary McHale and Mark Vandermaas, and others from his community to end race-based policing in Ontario.
Jeff Parkinson
Jeff Parkinson is a co-founder of Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality and is the organization’s Director of Multi-media Production. His uncanny instincts with his video camera have proven invaluable in gathering crucial evidence used in private prosecutions, and in the defence of falsely accused rule-of-law activists. With assistance from CANACE co-founder Gary McHale Jeff made legal history by winning two important Ontario Superior Court rulings related to the right of citizens to file private prosecutions in the cases of R. v. Parkinson 2008 and 2009. He will be introducing a video summary of ‘The Ernie Palmer Story‘ – taken from his 8-part interview with a Caledonia resident who was intimidated into allowing an illegal smokeshack on his property.
Doug Fleming (Caledonia Resident)
Doug Fleming has lived in Caledonia all his life, and grew up with many friends on Six Nations. He has been active in opposing the lawlessness in his town, and once even set up his own illegal smoke shack in front of an OPP station under the name ‘Doug’s Smokes’ in an unsuccessful attempt to get arrested in order to dramatize police refusal to enforce the law against the blight of native-run smokeshacks selling contaminated, un-taxed tobacco products to the town’s children. Doug’s brother Randy is one of the four people arrested by the OPP for walking down the street with a Canadian flag. Both Randy and Doug were protrayed in artist Barb Patterson-Tuck’s 2008 award-winning depiction of the Caledonia crisis entitled ‘Caught in the Middle.’
Marie Trainer
Former mayor of Haldimand County
Mayor Trainer’s family has lived in Haldimand County since the early 1800’s. She married the “the boy next door” and together they ran a successful business — Hagersville Tire Service — for 25 years. Marie lost her husband in 1979 and was left to raise three boys (who were 5, 7 and 11 at the time), run a business and take care of a cow/calf/beef operation alone.
She was asked in 1985 by the Hagersville Chamber of Commerce to run for Council. Voted in, Marie was then asked three years later to run for Regional Councillor. Voted in, three years later, she ran for Mayor and again was chosen by the people of Haldimand. Marie was Mayor for 16 years and on council for a total of 22 years.
Mary Lou Ambrogio
Mary Lou Ambrogio is the Vice President of the Canadian chapter of the International Free Press Society, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote free speech principles across Canada and the world at large, through seminars, conferences, books, film and music. The society defends individuals and organizations that are being persecuted for having stood up for free speech. IFPS-Canada’s accomplishments include bringing Ann Coulter, Philippe Karsenty, Kurt Westegaard and Bat Ye’or to Canada.
About Free Thinking Film Society
The Free Thinking Film Society was established in 2007 in Ottawa to provide an outlet for filmmakers and moviegoers alike who are looking for an alternative to the ‘alternative’. In other words, we celebrate the efforts of risk-taking documentarians whose work espouses the values of limited, democratic government, free market economies, equality of opportunity rather than equality of result, and the dignity of the individual, all underscored by a healthy and patriotic respect for Western culture and traditions. Although there are a lot of courageous voices in the non-fiction film industry producing thoughtful pieces of art which reject cultural relativism, central economic planning and American culpability for all that ills the world, you wouldn’t know it by looking at the listings for most art house cinemas. We’re dedicated to changing that by bringing these exciting and challenging documentaries to Canada’s capital.

The Free Thinking Film Society and the International Free Press Society are proud to present an evening on Caledonia.
This four-part presentation by Gary McHale and Mark Vandermaas (pictured above) – two longtime Caledonia ‘rule of law’ activists who provided a significant portion of the evidence and background for Christie Blatchford’s shocking book Helpless: Caledonia’s Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy, and How the Law Failed All of Us begins with an introduction to the crisis from the victims’ perspective, and then picks up where Helpless leaves off by examining the national issues at stake; the racial corruption of the justice system by police and government; and concludes with concrete recommendations for moving forward.
Part 1: Caledonia’s Victims
Part 2: Caledonia Policy Issues
Part 3: The Smoking Gun of OPP Corruption
Part 4: The ‘Caledonia Act’: No More Nightmares
Gary McHale and Mark Vandermaas – with help from Caledonia residents – tell even more of the untold story of Caledonia based on the ‘smoking gun’ evidence behind racially-based policing policies enacted by the Ontario Provincial Police and Ontario government to appease native radicals while allowing innocent residents to be terrorized, intimidated and traumatized:
How the Ontario government subverted the Charter of Rights and its own Police Services Act by conducting an illegal ‘peacekeeping’ mission on Canadian soil and misleading the public about its use of the Ipperwash Inquiry’s recommendations to justify its policy of refusing to protect non-natives.
How the Ontario government and OPP repeatedly attacked the character and motivations of non-native rule of law activists, but remained completely silent about the critical role played by anarchists and anti-Israel groups in supporting native crime groups in Caledonia and Brantford for their own anti-capitalist objectives since May 2006.

Early arrivals will be treated to a pre-presentation ‘bonus’ screening of a compilation video composed of footage recorded during the Caledonia crisis which will begin showing at 6:30 pm. (The video will be available on YouTube after the event.)
All guests will receive a copy of the presenters’ ‘Caledonia Act‘ recommendations as well as a DVD containing just a small fraction of the evidence at their disposal – 600+ files consisting of documents, photos, and videos as submitted to Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice by Mr. McHale in his defence against a $7.1M SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) filed by the Ontario Provincial Police Association in 2007 against him after he claimed police officers were not upholding their oaths of office in Caledonia.

All that needs to be said about what he did has probably already been said – and I’ll not bore you by repeating it.
What I do want to call your attention to is the absolutely awesome work done by OPP’s Behaviour Sciences Section Detective Sgt. Jim Smyth. Honestly, I am rather impressed by how quickly this Williams guy has been caught: a highly skilled military man… he had skills well beyond what one might expect of an ‘ordinary’ criminal.
And, he had been trained how to withstand interrogation, too. Which is what makes Sgt. Jim Smyth’s accomplishment while interrogating Williams that much more impressive.
Here is part of the interrogation video, as posted by the Global Toronto. Sgt. Smyth – well done!
My sympathy to all the victims of this criminal and their families.
However, I do get very angry when some people attempt to group Russel Williams’ wife, Mary Elisabeth Harriman, in with the victims!
That very idea is highly offensive. Remember, Harriman is employed by a charity organization – and draws a ‘six-figure-salary’... in my eyes, this makes her a kind of a rapist, too!
