George Bush Speaks in Saskatoon, Edmonton, Montreal,
in October - Protest!
by Sandra Finley
Bush is making 3 stops and Tony Blair speaks in Surrey on October 6th. It makes my blood boil that unthinking people will champion the likes of these war-mongers and liars. Third world war-mongers are charged with crimes against humanity and prosecuted at International Court. Bush, Cheney and Blair will be prosecuted, eventually - - IF we keep up the pressure to ensure that laws are applied equally.
We need to raise a lot of hell in Saskatoon, Edmonton and Montreal.
Many thanks to Lawyers Against the War for keeping up the pressure with excellent information and work.
Canada’s legal duties
By ratifying the Convention against Torture and the Rome Statue for an International Court, Canada agreed not only to make the torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity crimes under Canadian law but also to participate in acting effectively to prevent and punish these crimes wherever they occur. To ensure Canada’s ability to fulfill these duties, Parliament has:
o Passed laws enabling Canada to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity wherever the crimes occurred and whatever the nationality of the suspected perpetrators and the victims. (e.g. Criminal Code, torture provisions and the Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act.) Under the Convention against Torture , when a person suspected of any involvement in torture enters Canada, Canada has a duty to either prosecute that person or extradite him to a state that is willing and able to prosecute.
o Passed laws to ensure that Canada will not allow people suspected of war crimes and/or crimes against humanity and/or gross human rights abuses to enter Canada or otherwise provide a safe haven, even temporarily, for people suspected of any involvement in carrying out or acquiescing to war crimes, crimes against humanity or other gross human rights abuses. (e.g. Immigration and Refugee Protection Act)
The Canadian Ministers responsible are not enforcing these laws. In spite of significant intelligent, peaceful protests, G.W. Bush was allowed entry in Canada in March and May 2009 and Colin Powell was allowed entry in June 2008.
Write to Members of Parliament asking that Canadian Border Services Agency issue a cross-Canada directive to all entry points ordering that G.W. Bush, Tony Blair and Dick Cheney be barred from Canada and, if found in Canada, be arrested and dealt with according to the law. Some email addresses are below. Attached is the only reply LAW received to our February/09 correspondence regarding the March/09 visit by G.W. Bush.

Arrest Blair? Don't even bother to try. A German 'peace group' failed last week. So will you.

Pressure Mounts on Canadian Law Enforcement Official to Arrest George
Bush for International Crimes and for Possible Involvement in the 9/11
Debacle
By Josh Blakeney
Media Coordinator of Globalization Studies
University of Lethbridge
21 October, 2009
Saskatoon Canada. About 300 protesters gathered outside of Teachers'
Credit Union Place
in Saskatoon to make a public display of their refusal to welcome
George W. Bush to Canada. Bush's luncheon address to a business
audience in Saskatoon was one stop in his three city Canadian tour.
While one branch of the protesters worked with police, another branch
emphasized the responsibility of the police to arrest George Bush.
This second group has aligned itself with Lawyers Against War. As it
did in the prelude to the former US president's speeches in Calgary
and Toronto, LAW delivered evidence to the relevant law enforcement
officials right up to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. LAW has
documented the case that Bush is credibly accused war criminal who
should be arrested in Canada and tried for international crimes as
well as for violating the Canadian Crimes Against Humanity and War
Crimes Act.
At one point I, Josh Blakeney, who am here in Saskatoon covering the
event for Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge, took
the microphone on the dissenters podium to criticize one of the
organizers who publicly thanked the police. I presented the case on
behalf of those who believe that Canadian law enforcement officials
are violating the rule of law, including the Nuremberg principles, for
not arresting former US president for his role in authorizing
aggressive war and torture. Following orders, it was decided at
Nuremberg and the United Nations, is no excuse for violating
international laws as Canadian law enforcement officials have
consistently done in refusing to arrest George Bush's during his
Canadian speaking engagements.
I also drew attention on and off the podium to the growing body of
evidence that parts of the US government may have been involved in the
controlled demolitions of the three World Trade Center towers on
September 11, 2001. A recent peer-reviewed article by University of
Copenhagen Chemistry Professor Niels Harrit et. al. demonstrates
conclusively that military grade nano-thermite was used in dropping
the three towers. From the day one of the post-9/11 era the US
government has stuck to its initial story that the three steel-frame
towers collapsed because of the impact of two plane crashes.
I pointed out that the contested events of 9/11 form the basis of the
US government's Global War on Terror which continues under the Obama
regime but with a different name. Most of the the war crimes and
crimes against humanity that LAW and other organizations have pressed
against George Bush came about because of aggressive wars justified by
an explanation of 9/11 that subsequent research and publication by
Professor David Ray Griffin and others have shown to be implausible.
The US government alleged on day one that Osama bin Laden and nineteen
Saudi hijackers with box cutters acted alone in creating the 9/11
debacle. This version of events would attribute the destruction to a
massive failure of intelligence, air defense, immigration, and
skyscrapper engineering for which no one has yet been fired for
incompetence or malfeasance.
In my short talk at the dissenter's podium in Saskatoon I called
attention to the importance of the upcoming trial next March of
Splitting the Sky, a prominent activist in the movement seeking 9/11
truth. The well-known Mohawk activist, who is also known as John
Boncore, was arrested in Calgary last March attempting to conduct a
citizens' arrest of George Bush.
