Interview with Abdullah Al Malki

Abdullah Al Malki, a Canadian citizen and graduate of Carelton University,  was incarcerated and tortured in Syria based on false and misleading information that the RCMP and CSIS provided to the Syrian government.

Three years after government inquiries identified the mistakes and sloppiness of Canada’s security forces in their treatment of Abdullah and other Canadian citizens, there has still been no corrections made to procedure, no apologies to the individuals like Abdullah who have been victimized by their own country, and the misleading information about these individuals is still circulating within the “intelligence” community even though it has been three years since it was identified as incorrect.

I spoke with Abdullah Al Malki on Friday, April 2nd and we discussed the details of his case and the awareness of Canadians about his story.

Interview w/ Lawyer Murray Klippenstein

On March 6, 2009 we spoke with Marcia Ramirez, Carlos Zorilla and their Canadian lawyer Murray Klippenstein. These Ecuadorian villagers were in Canada to generate awareness about the lawsuit they were launching against the Copper Mesa Mining Company and the Toronto Stock Exchange in response to the environmental devastation that had been reeked on their community as a result of the Canadian mining company’s actions.

In January of 2010 the Toronto Stock Exchange de-listed the Copper Mesa Company from the scrolls and the company lost 60% of its stock value over the next 48 hours. On March 25, 2010 the lawsuit against the Stock Exchange itself, as an enabler to the environmental devastation, proceeded with pre-trial hearings.

We spoke with lawyer Murray Klippenstien about the successes and challenges.

10 Weekly Update into Afghanistan Situation

-This past week, there was a major announcement that the Afghan Taliban’s No.2 figure had been captured by the US – led coalition in Afghanistan. This was announced by the meanstream media as a successful result of the US surge of 15 000 troops into an area of Southern Afghanistan which is home to about 1500 Afghani freedom fighters.

-What the foriegn press and even more shocking, the foriegn US-led coalition, have never understood is that there is no “Taliban” with a hierarchy of troops and officers that mirrors what the foriegn concept of an army is. Instead, what you have in Afghanistan are various groups and pockets of opposition to foriegn domination which don’t take orders, but have been able for thousands of years to co-exist without the need for a military hierarchy.

-What the capture of anyone in a position of presumed authority within the so-called “Taliban” does, if anything, is create a vacuum which then leads to a power struggle which, in turn, leads to an intensification of the attacks on the foriegn soldiers occupying Afghanistan as everyone within the Afghani freedom movement step up their efforts to fill the hole.

-Ultimately, the Afghani people themselves will find that they will be the ones most-effected by foriegn-led efforts to justify the troop surge because the need to produce results measured by artificial standards like “body-count” numbers and “high-profile” arrests lessens the security of an average citizen as clearly seen by the US-led failures in Vietnam and Iraq.

-There still is only one solution to consensus-resolution in Afghanistan, that is peaceful negotiations and dialogue. This is precisely what the so-called “Taliban” proposed in 2003-2004 when they presented a six-point plan for discussion and negotiation to the foriegn armies, who along with their foriegn media outlets, have left that idea on the shelf for too long.

-The only alternative to peaceful negotiations with the benefit and welfare of Afghanis in heart and mind, with no militaristic or geographical objectives based on occupying a land without its people, is for the foriegn troops to get out of the country and to let the people of Afghanistan get on with their lives.

-It may be exactly this reasoning, based on the lessons of history integrated with the notion of human rights for all, that led Robert Watkins, deputy special representative of the United Nations’ secretary-general to officially announce that the UN will oppose NATO forces’ “militarization of human aid”. He also announced that UN agencies will not take part in the US-led “reconstruction efforts” -

“We are not part of that process, we do not want to be a part of it. We will not be part of that military strategy”.

10 Weekly Update into Afghanistan Situation

-As the American political establishment continues to argue amongst itself as to who poses the greatest “terror” threat to the US – Democracts like vice Prsident joe biden say Pakistan while the Republicans are still ranting about Iran, former gun-slinging Texas congressman Charlie Wilson died this past week at age 76.

-Charlie Wilson was the man responsible for engaing US Congress to arm the Aghanistan “freedom fighters” in their efforts to repel the invading foriegners, who at that time in the early 80s were the soviets. The legacy of that decision was one that gave birth to a great sense of civic and national pride in all afghans as they were ultimately succseeful, once again, in repeling an invading foriegn force.

-What we are seeing today in Afghanistan is that the Afghans who were armed and trained to fight in defense of their land, life and culture during the 80s are being replaced by foriegn contractors who are hired by NATO and other foriegn entities to do the work that should be done by the indigenous people.

-There are currently more foriegn, independent contractors, who are legally accountable to no one, then there are foriegn soldiers, who at the very least are accountable to the Geneva conventions and universal law. Even after Obama’s recent troop surge, there are over 100 000 foriegn contractors in Afghanistan as compared to about 70 000 foriegn soldiers.

-The foriegn contractors are comprised mainly of ex-criminals, bounty hunters and other ne’er do-wellers who have become  mercenaries with neither the discipline nor the morality to be integrated into an official army, which means they are even more in need of accountability then regular soldiers, with the afghan civilian death toll evidence of the price paid.

-Iraq has already suffered close to a million civilian deaths, if not more, based on the “destruction with impunity” carried out by a foriegn invasion force that felt no limits to their actions. As a result, this week, Iraq ordered out of the country all mercenaries from the Blackwater company. This is too little too late as Blackwater has since changed its name and the damage has been done, but Iraq is sending a message to all foriegn contractors, the governments and entities like NATO who employ them, that it is the mercenaries who are one of the root problems.

-Unfortunately for Afghanistan, because either NATO does not understand or care about the basic problems that mercenaries continue to cause, the vast majority, if not all of the private contractors that are expelled from Iraq are going to head straight for Afghanistan without missing a beat, or most importantly for the mercenaries themselves, a paycheck.

15 Candian Headlines

1/-Harper`s press secretary getting his facts about Omar Khadr wrong on a Newsworld Interview :

Khader was never accused of planting roadside bombs, he has been imprisoned for 8 years because of his proximity to the scene of the death of an American soldier who was killed by an American hand-grenade. The story according to the other American soldiers in the unit is that they threw the grenade to where Khadr was and he threw it back when it exploded and killed the American soldier.

Even if that story is true, it underlines and validates Khadr’s lawyers claims of self-defense. The more likely story is that, based on testimony from the same American soldiers in the unit that met with Khadr that day, in the confusion, killed their own soldier in a “friendly-fire” incident and instead of admitting this have let the then-15 year old Khadr rot for the last eight years of his life in Guantanamo.

-The current government has not changed its stance on repatriating Khadr despite three Supreme Court of Canada orders to do so – a lack of respect for Canadian legal authority that hasn’t even been shown by the Taliban.

2/ Canada`s exemption from Buy American regulations in the States. Here`s the catch: in return Canadian Government and Federal spending projects are now going to be opened up to all American companies. Instead of our tax money going back into Canadian companies, we are going to see more of what we saw last year with American companies contracting our army. Free Trade on crack…

3/ Russell Williams, base comander at Trenton canadian Army Base implicated in the disapearence of 5 women at the base. Continuing the “Destruction with Impunity” culture and attitude that the canadian army has sullied the image of Canada with around the world.

25 Rezaq Faraj 1943-2009

  

Doting suburban father. Immigrant success story. If he were content with blending in, Rezeq Faraj could be a poster boy for the Canadian dream. But, of course, blending in is precisely what he’s not about. He stands out because he speaks out – bearing witness to unwelcome facts, like his ploughed-over birthplace and the ethnic cleansing which triggered his life’s involuntary odyssey. “I refuse to vanish or disappear. I want to see justice done, not only for my fellow villagers and I who survived, but for all the Palestinian people who suffered from injustice and are still suffering under occupation and in refugee camps. Having had no real childhood, having had to struggle every day to achieve a decent existence for me and my family, havi ng seen all the injustices around me everywhere I’ve been -  all of this has made me a militant, an activist for justice, peace and human rights anywhere and everywhere.”

  

 ”I think most North Americans really don’t know about the Palestinian plight. They are busy trying to survive in this world of consumers, trying to make their lives comfortable. Most people really don’t know, and they don’t go out of their way to become informed. If they know anything about the situation, it consists of falsehoods that have been served up by their governments and the media.”

  

In Rezeq’s view, the variety of viewpoints and strategic approaches among supporters of Palestinian human rights is a plus. “As long as the various aims and objectives support the just cause of the Palestinian people, diversity contributes to the strength of the movement. The difference in approaches and planning of political actions in North America can seem to complicate things, but diversity is essential because it ultimately contributes to strengthen the solidarity movement.

 

“Having suffered from violence, I became a non-violent person. I know what it is and do not wish it for anyone, even my worst enemy. I refuse and will never accept violence. But I also refuse to accept injustice being done to anyone.” 

 

“The Palestinian people’s refusal to vanish or die will eventually overcome the odds and win, like all other people in the past who have struggled for peace with justice and against foreign domination. This might not come to pass during my lifetime, but it will eventually come to life someday. The media won’t be able to keep the truth hidden forever. Average people who know the facts are already speaking out. That day I will rest in peace – whether alive or dead – and not before.”

In the early morning hours on Monday, Israeli military forces wearing
combat paint and masks invaded the West Bank village of Bil’in.

Israeli soldiers raided several homes, arresting two Palestinian
children and five Palestinians adults including Mohammad Khatib from the
Bil’in Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements.

In June 2009 Mohammed Khatib traveled to Canada to testify in a historic
lawsuit launched by Bil’in village against two Quebec-based companies, both involved in constructing illegal Israeli-only settlements on the lands of the
Palestinian village of Bil’in.

Palestinian activist Mohammed Khatib also spoke to Canada’s major media
outlets and publicly in eleven Canadian cities with Emily Schaeffer, an
Israeli lawyer representing the village of Bil’in, connecting with
hundreds of people across Canada.

(AP) – August 4, 2009
 
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Lawmakers voted to more than double Haiti’s minimum wage Tuesday night after long hours of debate and clashes between police and protesters

 

- Does this concession to the people of Haiti represent acknowledgement that the reasons behind coup and kidnapping of President Aristide by Canadian, American and French forces in 2004 was morally unbalanced and now proving to be technically and econonically inadequate as well?

 

- Is this a victory for the people of Haiti or a smokescreen put up by a foriegn-controlled gov’t to ensure profit margins based on essentially the slave labour of the Haitian people?

 

- Do you see any similarities behind Canada’s total hands-on participation in the upsetting of Haitian Democracy in 2004 and Canada’s current refusal to enforce any sanctions against the current regime in Honduras that carried out the exact same coup operation in Honduras this summer?

Greg Palast: Proof of Illegal GOP “Caging Lists” in 2004 U.S. Presidential Elections

In the face of disturbing questions about Gonzalez’s competence to head the Justice Department and honesty during congressional testimony, President Bush has maintained his support for the embattled attorney general. New questions about the firings arose after testimony by Monica Goodling, an assistant to Alberto Gonzalez when she spoke about the involvement of Arkansas U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin in an illegal scheme to challenge African American voters during the 2004 election, known as “voter caging.”

Between The Lines’ Scott Harris spoke with Greg Palast, about the confidential emails he obtained from the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign outlining the GOP voter challenge program, and the evidence of a larger scandal that prompted Griffin to resign.
