#UpInSmoke: #Harper’s #CPC and #Ford’s #FordNation Ideological Subversion of #cdnpoli #senca

Aside November 20, 2013 @opHarper Leave a comment

It seems as if “We the People” have found ourselves in quite a predicament and the implications are far reaching. Does the cost of “power” consolidation to an “individual” include servitude to foreign investment schemes that can simply “buy” that one individuals influence? Is Canada simply “closed” for “face to face” business domestically so that it may be politically “sold” to the highest faceless international bidders in a globalized fire sale? Why are the seemingly exponential and expanding connections to organized criminal activity and undue influence within the halls of Government being allowed?

PM Harper’s houses of disrepute By Paul E Kennedy — National Newswatch — Nov 19 2013 — “The Prime Minister bears responsibility for having brought the two Houses of Parliament to their knees and turned them into houses of disrepute. This situation could only have come to pass because government MPs and Senators have placed narrow partisan interests and blind loyalty to the leader of the day before their responsibility to the people of Canada and the ideals of justice and democracy.”

The real problem now lies with how the various media conglomerates and social media outlets decide to continue spinning lies to divert our collective eyes from the ultimate prize. Surely another riddle or question to ponder is not the option but another perspective and direction is desperately needed. Somehow we need to force the narrative towards and away from the clown prince of the neo-conservative movement since their ultra-far-right agenda is forging ahead behind this 3 ring circus that they have spent billions of our tax dollars to create. They are collectively proving themselves to be the both sides of the “wars” they have waged in our collective names and successfully downloaded the costs to us. As a refresher, below are the fundamental “sales pitches” of the international ultra-right-wing investor to acquire our tax dollars:

War on Crime
War on Drugs
War on Terror

Now is the time for the collective will of “We the People”, the true majority, to set aside our seemingly petty disagreements and understand our adversaries adversary and their tactics. The fact that the Harper Regime has not tossed Rob Ford under the bus is due to the fact that they desperately need the Ford Nation to pursue their mandate. This will prove to be self-defeating as they have lost all control and need the drunken buffoonery to continue and could care less of the well being of Rob Ford but certainly do NOT care about his wife, children, family or friends. They are proving themselves to be the greedy malcontents that they really are by fueling the criminal side by way of the subversion of the Constitution and Charter to their own needs.

“We the People” need to oxidize their narrative, cut off their funds and smoke ’em outta their caves by simply reviewing and investigating further, in no specific order, a few points that are glaringly missing in the media reporting these days which stifles it’s growth via social media:

PMO Scandal(s) – Investigations into Frauds upon the Government, Breach of Trust, Conspiracy, Blackmail, etc.
Aboriginal, Indigenous and First Nations – Education, health care, missing women, treaty rights, human rights, land rights, resource development rights, international investor involvement in illegal police state measures.
Senate Scandal(s) – In addition to attempts to prevent representative and truly transparent reform, once the Supreme Court Justices began pondering and questioning the future implications of the potential for a potentially undemocratically elected majority caucus to create the conditions for a dictatorship, everyone shut the story down.
National Security – Missing millions from border security and community resources, PMO compromised, Rob Ford compromised, Foreign Policy, selective investment in Human Rights at home and abroad.
Robocalls Scandal(s) – Puzzling, but hey, due process usually catches up with reality after the next election cycle.
CETA – Skimpy draft text presentation is unacceptable at best, not to mention it conflicts with NAFTA and other agreements with the US.
TPP – Having to wait for “Anonymous” sources and WikiLeaks for leaked drafts of secret long term “trade” agreements that affect everyone is criminal.
Electronic Surveillance – As other Nation and States seem to be taking proactive responses to at least pacify the citizenry, having to wait for “Anonymous” sources and Snowden for details is ridiculous.
Crime, Punishment, Immigration and Detention – Selective systems rife with corruption and abuse. Unconstitutional omnibus legislation, horrific conditions within the prison systems, overburdened court systems, under representation of the detained, expanded police powers, out-sourcing and privatizing detention services.
Currency Wars and Trade Wars – Setting the pretext and domestic conditions to assure that the “budget plan” gets interrupted by global “economic” conditions. Easily done by way of an over valued dollar that encourages quick short term, low to no interest foreign investment in the housing, financial and resource extraction bubbles at the expense of the tourism and export sectors.
Tax Evasion Haven – Been a while since we have explore offshore but this ties into the Economic Extraction Action Plan. More appropriately summarized as the Plan of Action to Extract as much liquidity out of the Canadian economy as possible before the inevitable bursting of the bubbles.
Veterans Issues – Lest we forget…

Now, getting back to the familiar and failing narrative, the diversion that is Rob Ford, who actually defines the neo-conservative caucus by way of accurate representation. Just take a peek Stateside and look into the crowds that comprise Koch Nation by way of the ultra-right-wing elements of the neo-conservative Tea Party movement. You’ll notice the same divide between “traditional” conservative values and “ideological” values cloaked within the conservative context.

One may wonder what, or why, or how, any of these issues could converge and/or be interconnected and why the thought is never allowed to cross their minds that “Stephen Harper” may not have the best long term interests in “his” mind for Canada. Now how many times “he” get’s caught up in “his” own lies, his caucus seems blinded to what is occurring before their collective eyes. But then again any good conman, crook or criminal knows that for the most part, the most obvious is always the least obvious. This is where the msm narrative needs to be injected with some facts that they are careful to mention in passing but not fully explore. No matter how hard they try, proper chronological documentation elsewhere will assure that facts will not die.

The fact remains that a small minority of ideological internationalist ultra-neo-conservative loyalists have convinced the majority of persons with “conservative values” that in order to “win” an election they need the ultra-right-wing Reform/Alliance members led by Stephen Harper. To this end to “win” an election and an eventual majority to govern with authority, they became willingly subservient to the whims of a “leader” without having to admit they have enslaved themselves to a “master” that is controlled by international investors that do not have a vested interest in Canada.

Who is Rick McKnight?

March 21, 2012 @opHarper Leave a comment

Below you will find a rather unique peek behind the complex web that weaves the veils of secrecy that lie between special interests and government. Some prefer to follow the money, while others prefer to follow the digital footprints. Here are a few of the steps taken along the way during the quest trough the tar sands seeking Rick McKnight…

Ok friends, here we go. Upon further review, it is becoming apparent that Matt Meier has basically mislead and lied to the Globe and Mail.

“There is absolutely nothing to hide with RackNine,” Mr. Meier said. “… Five minutes searching on Google easily demonstrates that there is no hidden story beyond a hard working, honest person.”

The story that Rick McKnight is “Pierre Poutine” and is also Rafael Martinez Minuesa is a fabrication at best. If RackNine is now lying to the media it would appear as if they have something to hide. If this is the case than Elections Canada and the RCMP need to expand their investigations and NOW!

Simply put, searching g**gle for 5 minutes as Matt Meier has suggested, will NOT connect Rafael Martinez Minuesa to RackNine and neither will visiting his f***book profile, his y**tube account nor his many websites.

There is ample evidence that suggests that Rafael Martinez Minuesa is NOT the Rick McKnight that is on f***book nor the admin of the Rick McKnight “fan” page. The 2 profiles have posted from different locations geographically on multiple occasions at the same times. Not only that but neither “profile” contains any corroborating evidence that they are indeed the same individual.

The time has come for ALL citizen journalists to blow the lid off this caper. We need to get all of this data and evidence compiled and submitted to as many individuals, media outlets and non-neocon MP’s by the end of this week. If they will not cooperate with “We the People” then we shall seek out those that can and will and expose them for collusion…

——————————————————–

anon: RackNine continues to dig their own grave, looks awfully sweet but smells awfuly bad.
anon: “I’ve been working for RackNine for over two years as a lead developer creating web sites, and working with social media,” the staffer said. “I do exist. Attached are a recent photo and a copy of my European Union driver’s license.”
wtf – This guy is some hot shot website developer that works with social media and he decides to release that grainy, fuzzy picture?? What a joke!
anon: https://www.facebook.com/rafael.minuesa

Rafael Martinez Minuesa
anon: The article states it is a photo from his EU drivers license and the rather interesting part is that he is located overseas and more than likely will be immune to prosecution and unavailable to be brought before an investigative committee. But hey, he said he didn’t do anything wrong so the Harper Regime will back him, since we know they never do anything wrong…
anon: From his FB wall.
“RECENT ACTIVITY

Rafael changed his profile picture.”
anon: This is even more suspicious!
anon: I took a screen clip. 🙂
anon: Decided to bomb around through some of his “sites” and he seems to be well versed in data mining activities…

anon: So Ralph is a Graphic Designer, turned Web Designer, turned Web Developer. Ya think he would want a better picture of himself for his FB profile and release to the press. And btw I don’t think that picture is from his driver’s license, unless they use ugly flowered shower curtains (or whatever that is) for back drops on EU license photos. 🙂
“Mr. Minuesa issued a statement as well as a picture and identification Tuesday in an effort to corroborate his identity.

“I’ve been working for RackNine for over two years as a lead developer creating web sites, and working with social media,” the staffer said. “I do exist. Attached are a recent photo and a copy of my European Union driver’s license.”
anon: Maybe that is the EU robo-licence?
anon: haha 🙂
anon: I have to say after checking around a bit on this guy Rafael – he sure doesn’t jive up with our Mr. McKnight and all his influential Cons and right wing FB friends. Just saying….
anon: I tend to agree anon:, this story is definitely fishy and only seems to add up using neocon mathematics…
anon: It would seem that either his f***book profile or one of his several websites would list his work and/or affiliation RackNine somewhere in the mix. Why would a developer leave out a high value company in his online resume?
anon: Ya neocon mathematics, that must be it. 🙂 I think this stinks to the high heavens. I think Alan is probably right that the knight is a Meier.
anon: Ya I couldn’t find any reference to rack 9 either. You would think he might have some clips of his web design there. If that is what he was doing.
anon: I need some more info about these “Meiers”…
anon: Well I got a few friends with that name but they don’t spell it like that. It’s a German name and can be spelled as Mayar as in Amschel. 🙂 hehehe
anon: Ok so maybe it’s ‘a knight, in the rack-room, with a sock puppet’.
anon: I did a quicky and found these:
Michèle Meier – Montreal, Canada Area – Vice President, Public Affairs and Communications, Ivanhoé Cambridge

Bonnie Meier – Saskatchewan, Canada – Manager of Client Service at Saskatchewan Pension Plan

Re KL FB friend and addresses:

“anon:

KL wrote about it yesterday , he was surprised how this guy has mutual friends with him , and how RMcK managed to friend them so elusively, Graham O even talked about the addresses that this guy put on the FB page , we know it as an industrial area east of town , I think theyre too bogus , because the home address is 10 blocks south , on the same side of the road , and that is the edge of Edmonton’s residential zone , heading south , all you can find east of 50 th street , is bare industrial zoned land , non residential”

Oddly enough as soon as I began poking around to locate some infos about Rick McKnight, the book of faces went a bit wonky. Check out this post grabbed directly from “his” wall.. https://www.facebook.com/rick.mcknight.9
anon: The ‘real’ ‘Pierre Poutine’, given that moniker, at least has a sense of humor!
anon: Infact he was RMcK was changing his picture yesterday as we were conversing on I think its Capp2.0 exploring democracy , and Kim was taking snapshots of his page as he changed the pictures , we even said this guy must be snooping on us and reacting to what were saying , just cant remember if it was CAPP 2.0 or CRUSH , it was going so fast , I think he has 2 pages , because one had a profile pic of a man with some of his front teeth missing , I got really creeped out , I’ve been living here 15 years and now this crap about a defacto coup d’etat launched from the city I call my home ?? and for what , for Harper to grab power by a sneaky kindergarden ploy??
anon: the plot is thicker AND closer than I thought
anon: The Harper Regime came to power via a Bush Cabal coup d’etat…
anon: Missing only were the Florida voting machines which provide no possible back-up or trace on paper.
anon: About the only thing we haven’t imported from the States are hanging chads, lol…
anon: ?anon: – did KL post the screenshots he took when this guy was changing his pictures?
anon: I dont remember , I dont think so , because I was busy following up on this guy , it was very interesting , maybe I can catch a face I know somewhere , I’m trying to look up my History list cant find that conversation , I even went to the Stanford University to check out the free courses
anon: anon et al, re the most recent high tech advances on the election fraud front, (always a red alert sign of rising fascism) did you have a chance to check out this flabbergasting series of graphs I posted the other day, demonstrating how in 2008 and in these recent Republican primaries, the results state by state have been very neatly inverted, so that the voted winner (Paul in some cased, Santorum in others) becomes the loser and Romney becomes the winner. The absolute inverse contingency between the curve of the real winner and the curve of the fraudulent winner, as presented in these graphs… well, …. NO WORDS. It is a brand new thread and most monstrously fascinating. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?363915-We-NEED-more-hands-on-deck.-Significant-evidence-of-Algorithmic-vote-flipping.

anon: ?”even went to the Stanford University to check out the free courses”
Me too! It seems our mc-knight is interested in game theory – doesn’t sound much like a guy who is a graphic artist turned web designer/developer. 🙂
anon: I have been following that a bit anon:. Rachel Maddow did some good reporting on this a week or two ago. I think I posted a link to the show but can’t remember for sure.
anon: Good. We need to KNOW. xb
anon: This is not really adding up at all. Trolling through Rafaels profile does not lead anywhere near RackNine and neither do his numerous websites. Seems like the fix is in somewhere, somehow…
As Rafael, he was posting from:

Taipei, Taiwan on Oct 15

Japan on from Oct 17 thru Nov 13

Kota Kinabalu on Nov 30th

Nanaimo BC on Jan 11

Back to Japan on Mar 11

Now the posts being made to the Rick McKnight profile are from Edmonton, stay tuned…
anon: Good work Windsor! This is all very smelly.
anon: Want anchovies with that limburger?
anon: Ok, keepng this tread alive a bit with a new revalation. It seems as if Rick McKnight also has a “fan” page:

anon: ?:)
anon: I dunno, this Rick McKnight does not appear to be the same “person” as Rafael Martinez Minuesa. They have posted from different locations on several occasions…
anon: I think the story is total BS. The question is, why do it? Especially, if it is relatively easy to figure that out.
anon: Rafael has a y**tube account associated with one of his sites…
https://www.youtube.com/user/RafaelMinuesaabout an hour ago ·
anon: Their thinkin’ may be that the masses usually believe anything they are told and would simply go back to sleep…
anon: Well here’s a simple question, Why would a guy like Rafeal want to be FB friends with KL?
anon: The 2 profiles don’t even use the same jargon and have totally different interests even as they relate to the interwebz. I could understand if one was for business and the other was for pleasure, but this does not pass the smell test…
anon: Not that KL is not friend worthy – it’s just weird.
anon: So what if this is all a wild goose chase? a distraction from somewhere else we need to be looking?
anon: Rafael does not have any of my friends on his list from what I can see, McKnight on the other hand has a couple that are subscribers KL is one of ’em, plus a lot of friends of friends. I am kinda surprised at the friends of friends to be honest since they represent a rather broad spectrum. The McKnight profile may well be a sock puppet that is trolling and data mining the book of faces…
anon: It is beginning to look that way, we’ll have to see how far the media goes with this and what else emerges through them. If the G&M does a follow up that is fishy, we will know the fix is in and will have the evidence to call ’em out…
anon: Ok friends, here we go. Upon further review, it is becoming apparent that Matt Meier has basically mislead and lied to the Globe and Mail.
“There is absolutely nothing to hide with RackNine,” Mr. Meier said. “… Five minutes searching on Google easily demonstrates that there is no hidden story beyond a hard working, honest person.”

So what’s “redacted”?

http://creekside1.blogspot.ca/

“Unfuckablewith discovers CISM is “designed explicitly” to be integrated with “a feature to perform robocalls on a nationwide level”. He has a working draft up on security flaws in the CIMS and LiberaList, with the most interesting bits so far redacted while he thinks them through :

“A shocking amount of personal information is stored on these servers and can be recalled for use in individual campaign offices and on Parliament Hill via a secure VPN connection to the main Conservative Party servers. While this leaves the system vulnerable to [redacted], the greater issue is that in the process of establishing this VPN connection, the data [redacted], and thus, outside of the control of Canadian authorities.”

“the data ___ and thus outside the control of Canadian authorities” ???

The data is what? Stored in the fridge? Stored on servers at some US voter- ID/townhall company?”

Regarding the sources of my data.

* Unreleased data from Elections Canada (which won’t be released publicly until charges are laid)

* Sources within each major political party (predominantly from the Tories)

* Information from certain Members of Parliament

* Personal interviews, call logs, audio recordings from the ridings affected

* Experts in the fields of political science, political philosophy, psychology, sociology, computer science, economics, telecommunications, and cryptography

* Military contractors and commercial suppliers of equipment used for communications, robocalling, and tech journalism

* Reports in the national media (television, newspapers)

* Extensive data-mining and analysis

What I did not rely on:

* Blogs/bloggers

* Politically-biased information (including my own politics)

If this is the case here, and the servers and data are Stateside, the RCMP would have to request the data via the US court system, unless the provider hands it over voluntarily. If they did though, they could be liable.

I am not sure if electoral fraud committed against a nation outside of the US is illegal in the US. (not sure if that last statement makes sense but maybe you get the gist of it)
anon: Now, here is a bit of a twist if we take Bairds comments about emails not being reliable, he stated that not only could they be labeled/filtered spam and not go through the system but he eluded to the fact that many of the MP’s have viruses in their computers as well. We may be able to assUme that the CMIS data has already been intercepted and acquired by a third party.
Keep in mind, these neocons are not the sharpest knifes in the drawer and I am fairly certain that they issued easy usernames and many of them did not utilize adequate passwords…
anon: Yes it made sense.
anon: Well, I was remembering some research I did on Stuxnet and cryptographic keys and how part of the virus works by using ‘escalation of privilege vulnerabilities’ to gain access to the system. I am assuming this same sort of thing could have been done with the CMIS system.
anon: They could also utilize more rudementry ways as well, in much the same way hackers gain access to profiles on social media sites. But if they did infect a computer, they would have access to any/all passwords as well as any/all data on the hard drives…

Identity of mystery employee deepens robocall puzzle

“George Monbiot reports in The Guardian that “the US Air Force has been tendering for companies to supply it with persona management software, which will perform the following tasks:

a. Create “10 personas per user, replete with background, history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technically, culturallyand geographically consistent … Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through conventional online services and social media platforms.”

b. Automatically provide its astroturfers with “randomly selected IP addresses through which they can access the internet” (an IP address is the number which identifies someone’s computer), and these are to be changed every day, “hiding the existence of the operation”. The software

should also mix up the astroturfers’ web traffic with “traffic from multitudes of users from outside the organisation. This traffic blending provides excellent cover and powerful deniability.”

c. Create “static IP addresses” for each persona, enabling different astroturfers “to look like the same person over time”. It should also allow “organisations that frequent same site/service often to easily switch IP addresses to look like ordinary users as opposed to one organisation.”

Software like this has the potential to destroy the internet as a forum for constructive debate. It jeopardises the notion of online democracy. Comment threads on issues with major commercial implications are already being wrecked by what look like armies of organised trolls – as you can sometimes see on guardian.co.uk. The internet is a wonderful gift, but it’s also a bonanza for corporate lobbyists, viral marketers and government spin doctors, who can operate in cyberspace without regulation, accountability or fear of detection. So let me repeat the question I’ve put in previous articles, and which has yet to be satisfactorily answered: what should we do to fight these tactics?”

The Pentagon and its Sock Puppets

By Scott Horton

An internal Department of Defense review has concluded that a Rumsfeld-era program under which retired military officers who appeared on American broadcast media were given special briefings and access was consistent with Pentagon rules.

The internal review also apparently found no fault with the exclusion of four individuals precisely because they refused to be sock puppets, speaking critically of some Pentagon decisions. One of them, General Wesley Clark, apparently lost his position as an analyst for CNN because of Pentagon and White House displeasure with what he had to say.

In his 1961 farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the “acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.” Although he was persuaded that this new relationship between the Pentagon and its contractors was “a vital element in keeping the peace,” he was deeply troubled by the relationship’s potential to disrupt the delicate balance of interests that is fundamental to a modern democracy. David Barstow’s investigation provided some of the most subtle and compelling evidence of this process to appear in recent years. The Pentagon’s self-exonerating report, by contrast, suggests that media sock puppets may become a modus operandi.

Canadian Conservatives work best under cover of darkness. In government, committees are now routinely forced into in camera sessions. Documents and records are withheld to the point that the Harper government has twice been found in contempt of Parliament. Vital facts and figures are suppressed. Scientists are muzzled, to international opprobrium. Legitimate opposition questions are ruled out of order by Harper catspaw Andrew Scheer, or simply go unanswered.

But that’s not the half of it.

In the country formerly known as Canada, the Conservatives have made a practice of appointing pseudo-MPs in ridings actually held by other parties. Only a constitutional lawyer can determine if the elected MPs have had their privileges breached, but it is a sleazy and unethical practice: unprecedented, as so many Conservative attacks on democracy have been.

  “Popularized by movies such as “A Beautiful Mind”, game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and irrational) agents. Beyond what we call ‘games’ in common language, such as chess, poker, soccer, etc., it includes the modeling of conflict among nations, political campaigns, competition among firms, and trading behavior in markets such as the NYSE. How could you begin to model eBay, Google keyword auctions, and peer to peer file-sharing networks, without accounting for the incentives of the people using them? The course will provide the basics: representing games and strategies, the extensive form (which computer scientists call game trees), Bayesian games (modeling things like auctions), repeated and stochastic games, and more. We’ll include a variety of examples including classic games and a few applications.”

  An Alberta company swept up in the controversy over fake election robo-calls engineered by someone calling themselves “Pierre Poutine” is acknowledging one of its employees operates under a pseudonym. But RackNine says the contractor – who volunteered briefly on a local Conservative campaign in Edmonton last federal election – has nothing to do with its automated call operations. RackNine Inc. chief executive Matt Meier says a web designer and marketer who operates under the name of “Rick McKnight” is a Spaniard named Rafael Martinez Minuesa. RackNine was first contacted by journalists Monday about “Rick McKnight” because the staffer seemed to have no footprint in the real world. The firm says it initially balked at revealing his true identity because they didn’t want to breach their staffer’s right to privacy. But journalists quickly drew media attention to the mystery staffer. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/firm-at-centre-of-robo-call-storm-unmasks-mystery-employee/article2375881/
- anon: hmmm – very interesting indeed anon

A key employee of the company that was used to send out the misdirecting robocalls in Guelph on election day appears not to exist under the name he uses online.

“How does one define a real person?” said [Racknine lawyer, R. Justin] Matthews in an email. “Would a web-design employee that chooses to use a different name online (which some people seem to do these days) be considered a real person?”

McKnight maintains a Facebook friendship with many people, including journalists, politicians and officials, although none of the people contacted by Postmedia News could say they knew him.

In addition to those who say they don’t know him, McKnight is “friends” with Guy Giorno, who chaired Stephen Harper’s 2011 campaign, Guelph campaign worker Andrew Prescott, former Harper communications directors Dimitri Soudas and Kory Teneycke, and current director of communications for the party Fred DeLorey.

He is also Facebook friends with Susan Delacourt of the Toronto Star, and a number of Sun News Network personalties, including Brian Lilley.

McKnight lists as a friend only one opposition MP, Charlie Angus, who has been leading the NDP’s robocalls attacks in the House. But McKnight is friends with dozens of Conservative MPs, including cabinet ministers James Moore, Keith Ashfield, Joe Oliver and Steven Fletcher, and MP Eve Adams, who previously employed Guelph campaign worker Michael Sona.

McKnight is friends with Meier and many of his associates in Alberta, including Ryan Hastman, the former Conservative candidate in Edmonton-Strathcona, who is now an organizer with the provincial Wildrose Alliance party.

Tomorrow/later on today, I’ll start posting my analysis of all 98 ridings (out of 308) where there were major voting irregularities, or robocalling, or outright voter suppression. I’m not going to mince words: the Conservative Party is responsible for the overwhelming majority of these. I have 21 separate incidents where they broke the law — with proof. I also have around another 20 where they seriously infringed on the rights of Canadians to have fair and free elections. A lot of ridings involve Ministers of the Crown. With the exception of Guelph (which is still extremely unclear), there is absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing by either the Liberal Party or NDP.

ALL of my projections from recalculating the 2011 general election show a Conservative minority government, at the expense of the Liberals (notwithstanding the unpopularity of Michael Ignatieff). First I started with the effects of 34 ridings, as reported/provided by the opposition parties. By myself I was able to uncover the rest. Adding that into my projections, the Conservative Party actually would’ve LOST SEATS, the NDP would be very strong, but they probably wouldn’t be the official opposition. I don’t feel it prudent to give you an exact seat total at 5:20am after I’ve taken an Ambien (because I will be proven wrong by my own findings in a few hours), but I will later.

So, today you can expect:

The Bear Cat’s musings: Canada: Democracy under siege

Posted Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 9:42am

thebearcatsmusings.blogspot.com

What does Stephen Harper think of Elections Canada? In 2001 he called them “Jackasses”.As in “The jackasses at Elections Canada are out of control.”

Well it appears the Jackasses are still out of control, but they aren’t in Elections Canada, they are in the Stephen Harper Party.

Canada was a bastion of freedom, a place for the world to look for inspiration. Sadly that is no longer true.

It took a long time for us to evolve from settling electoral campaigns with fist fights to buying votes with bottles of whiskey to our recent system of campaigning to present the reasons why one should vote for this candidate rather than that candidate.

No, while we were sending our ships and planes and foot soldiers to places across this world to free other countries from oppressive regimes we had an oppressive regime forming right here.

Harper said it himself, I’m in charge, I make the rules. And when he doesn’t like the rules it is fine to walk all over them. But only Him and His people.

At the same time that Harper’s Omnibus Bill to put the bad guys in prison longer, to make Canada “safer” was being debated, the Harper Party was challenging the court’s ruling against them in the “In and Out” scandal. And what a penalty the Harper Party paid, some fines, and the ones that admitted guilt kept their comfy red velour seats in the Senate.

Not long ago, the opposition parties wanted the Harper Party staffers called before Committee to answer for issues that were being raised. No less a person than John Baird rose up and shouted that the staffers were not to be called but the Ministers who were in charge. He would not stand for bullying of staffers by the Opposition Members on the Committee, but now that the Harper Party wants a Liberal staffer called onto the carpet the story changes.

Dean Del Mastro says that if the Liberals wanted then they should be willing to allow it now. I say stuff it in your hat Dean Del Mastro. Baird set the precedent, you live with it. Or does Dean Del Mastro advocate two sets of rules for Canada? One for the Harperistas and one for the rest?

In 2001 Stephen Harper warned that the Internet should not be infringed on by government and that the free flow of information was essential to Canada. His infringement of the Internet got booted to Committee in record time, likely because Vic Toews called Canadians paedophiles rather that it just being a bad law.

Ask the prairie wheat growers about Harper’s stance on democracy. They had a constitution for the Canadian Wheat Board that required that the farmers vote to dissolve it if they so desired. Harper ignored that and wrote his new law that in effect breaks the old one.

Now we have Elections Canada investigating vote suppression that occurred during the last Federal Election, the “Robocall” scandal. Harassing phone calls to non-Harper Party supporters late at night or early in the morning or on the Sabbath designed to drive supporters of the other parties away from the polls and going as far as contacting people on Election Day to falsely inform them that their polling station had been moved. Was this an attempt to keep non-Harper Party voters from voting?

It certain looks like it to me.

When the issue was raised in the House of Commons, the Harper Party response was predictable to say the least. A staffer was sacrificed, thrown under the bus and the finger pointed at him. When he denied involvement the finger was pointed at the Liberals, accusing them of undermining their own campaign efforts and suggesting that the Liberals had hired a U.S. firm to make these calls while the Harper Party boasted that they had not used any U.S. firms.

Even though the Harper Party was shown to be “in error” over these “facts” they still maintain their story.

That is called lying.

And lying to the House of Commons is Contempt.

Our only hope at this time is that Elections Canada with the RCMP will be able to trace what the message of the calls was, and who caused those calls to be made. And whether they will have the freedom to investigate this scandal.

This investigation has grown from one or two constituencies to forty or more. There are complaints of harassing calls and fake Elections Canada messages directing people to the wrong or nonexistent Polling Stations and now even voting cards directing people to incorrect Polling Stations sent to addresses, but with no names on them.

Had Stephen Harper and His Party stood with the Opposition to decry the Robocall scandal and make efforts to get to the bottom of this and see that the guilty are held accountable they might have avoided much of the scandal. But their antics, blaming a rogue operative, blaming the Opposition, and now they’re even blaming Elections Canada. This is beyond belief.

The Harper Party is standing in Elections Canada way when they ask to see the actual receipts for election expenses. And now we are finding out that although the Harper Party candidate from Guelph apparently used Racknine’s robocall services in the election, they didn’t include any charges from Racknine in their expenses.

Apparently some candidates used Visa Cards and PayPal to pay Racknine for services and then reimbursing whoever paid the charge. This strikes me as odd. When I was in business we were billed directly and paid directly. Only incidentals were handled differently, small items through petty cash, but only with the receipt.

Calls to Racknine are showing up from MLA and MP constituency offices. Constituency offices are only to be used for government business and electioneering is not government business.

But what surprises me the most is that this story has was discovered by and driven by the staunch supporters of the Harper Party, the National Post.

The National Post says they know where the Robocall scandal ends, in the Stephen Harper Party computers, in the Constituency Information Management System database.

It seems the National Post is more interested in right and wrong than being on the right politically.

Where does Stephen Harper stand?

Well we got some late breaking news…. Seems that Stephen Harper has decided to join with the NDP and support the New Democrats’ proposal to enhance the power of Elections Canada to see documents and new rules governing Robocallers… But he is mentioning something about six months from now…

And it seems that around 2700 people in the riding or Eglinton-Lawrence showed up at polling stations without voter registration cards and filled out forms in order to vote, but [in violation of the Election Act] an unknown number left their current and previous addresses blank and others used false addresses… This is a riding where the Liberal candidate complained about harassing phone calls… and lost his riding by about 3000 votes… Go figure.

Maybe we need to start running our elections like the Third World countries who are trying to use Democratic means to oust Dictators and their regimes.

I’ll dip my finger after I vote, I just hope the ink isn’t blue.

No one knows if there really were two bank accounts for the Julian Fantino by-election run. No one knows if the Fantino campaign did or didn’t lend surplus campaign funds to other Tory candidates, and if it did, if there is anything wrong with that.”

Anon:As well as the Quebec “In and Out”….Meanwhile, Le Devoir has raised questions about whether the national campaign effectively transferred money “in and out” to local campaign accounts, not for advertising expenses, but for voter identification and mobilization purposes.The Quebec newspaper reported that at least two Conservative candidates in Quebec agreed to requests by the national campaign office to pay money to RMG — the Toronto-based Responsive Marketing Group — during the 2011 campaign but told the newspaper they did not know exactly what services were rendered for the money.We were a kind of mailbox for funding that,” Le Devoir quoted defeated Conservative candidate Bertin Denis, who lost to the NDP’s Guy Caron in the riding of Rimouski-Neigette-Témiscouata-Les Basques. “We had nothing to say on the operations of it. They didn’t call me, and nobody was called. I wasn’t part of a survey, nobody consulted me.”Denis said his riding had been targeted by Conservative Party headquarters as winnable, so the party agreed to spend more on it, putting some $55,000 into the campaign.”We didn’t pay (the contract with RMG)” he is quoted in Le Devoir. “The funding came from the national and we wrote a cheque.”
His official agent Ghislain Pelletier confirmed to Le Devoir that we were strongly advised to take it.”

Pelletier said the Conservative Party “sent us the bill and I paid it on the recommendation of the party.”

Asked if the party or RMG supplied the local campaign with the results of the calls, Pelletier, a trained accountant, said: “Absolutely nothing, ma’am. If I were in a private business, I would have demanded a report.”

Anon: Bear Cat- Apologies for adding all this info to your post. It probably seems like a lot disparate information unless you were in my head right now. 🙂 I was on a bit of role looking into this. I will probably move all this over to a document but I didn’t want to delete any of it in case others were following along.
Anon: Campaign Research Inc., Responsive Marketing Group, Crestview Strategies, Navigator Inc, RackNine and ElectRight are all in on this electoral fraud in my view.
Anon: Thanks Anon for the extra names. More research…:) I was trying to see if I could find a connection between ElectRight and RackNine and/or RMG. The information is very elusive and mostly leads to dead ends or 404 Page Not Found.
Anon: ‎Anon- I see you commenting over at Creekside from time to time – I like to follow what Allison has to say and love her sense of humor.
Anon: Honestly, Anon, I think that the National Campaign ensured that local campaigns had a list of conservative friendly service providers to use, who would deliver services without asking questions. ElectRight and RackNine are not turnkey, full service campaign marketing experts. RMG, Crestview and Campaign Research Inc are bigger fish. Also the bigger fish have connections to Preston Manning’s “Democracy Institute”.
Anon: Thanks!
Anon: See you at Creekside :-))
Anon: ‎:=))
Bear Cat: 1st @ Anon… no problem, the post is to try and make people think. I don’t have the answers, if you help light a fire undersome one we all win…
Bear Cat: 2nd @ Anon… Could it be as likely that the National Campaign contacted and contracted the various companies and then sent out “polling information” to the constituency offices along with an in and out cheque for $15,000.01? [I think that was the amount]
Anon: ‎$15000.01 is probably the maximum amount allowable.
Anon: Bear Cat, I have a couple of questions so please shoot me a message via fb, through the site or by email dumpharper@live.ca…
Anon: I did a little checking on crest view inc which is basically a company that you can contract to promote whatever BS you are trying to peddle to the public (regardless of whatever fancy rhetoric they may use to sell their ‘product’). The principals seem to hang with the media class providing ‘expert opinion’ etc. which is where you wanna be if you are in the business of promulgating BS and propaganda. 🙂 They are definitely connected to some powerful sources such as the NDI. I haven’t found the connection to Manning’s DI yet but I notice RMG advertising on what appears to be an insider magazine/newsletter they publish, ‘Campaigns and Elections’.So, the bigger fish such as crest view and all, use companies such as rack 9 and elect right as tools in their overall marketing strategies. These smaller fish do the dirtier grunt work of collecting data and narrowing targets that are to be attacked in line with the overall strategy. As well, these smaller fish are used to carry out the ‘dirty tricks’ such as robocalling.
Anon:I think you are right Bear Cat that it is likely the national party set this up in advance on recommendation of one, some or all of these marketing gurus. The contracts would have already been in place just a matter of how they were going to pay for them so as to avoid it being noticed, hence the in and out we see with the Quebec Cons. I am wondering if the $15,0000 dollar amounts (and there were several of them) were in ridings where the Cons knew they didn’t have a chance of winning and why we see this concentration of them in Quebec.http://crestviewstrategy.ca/team/
Anon: To elaborate on that last point, what I am pondering is if they spread out the cost of targeting a few key swing ridings across the board where only some ridings got the lion’s share of ‘benefit’ while most of the others were just contributing and got nothing for it. It of course, also hid the money from going through as an expense to the national party.
Anon: RMG definitely has the capacity to do data mining that lead to targeting 60+ voters. Bear Cat, I am feeling quite confident that whatever work was done by RMG was sent out or used to influence what local campaigns did.
Bear Cat: I think the NP is right, the answer is in the computer database in the Stephen Harper Party’s basement….
Are political parties allowed to keep databases of other parties’ supporters?
Anon: Agree Anon, I was thinking seniors was a marketing tool. In the cons riding where I live the last vote was in a seniors home, when previously it has always been in a public school.
Anon: There is also a name, Tracey Kent, mentioned in the above comment related to former EDA director Richard Larello…

This is not Zimbabwe
Allegations of election fraud demand serious response
Calgary Herald February 28, 2012

Some of the Conservative reaction to the growing robocall scandal reminds us of Leslie Nielsen standing in front of an exploding fire-works factory in Naked Gun while telling a gathering crowd, “Move on. Nothing to see here.”

On Monday, Tory Senator Mike Duffy blamed it on third parties. Conservative strategist Tim Powers called it opposition hysteria. On the weekend, Defence Minister Peter MacKay called it an isolated incident. In question period Monday, the unflappable Stephen Harper gave them all a lesson in crisis communications, saying that anyone with evidence of illegal acts should notify Elections Canada, as Harper says his party has done, so the agency can investigate and report back to the House of Commons. It’s the only credible response.

With staff at a Thunder Bay call centre admitting they made live calls scripted by the Conservatives to mislead voters about polling station locations in hotly contested ridings, dismissing the allegations merely reinforces the reputation that this is a bullying, stop-at-nothing government that has muzzled everyone from scientists to veterans’ advocates.

The Conservatives, after all, once hired a polling company to spread the false word that Liberal MP Irwin Cotler of Montreal intended to resign from Parliament – a tactic that Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer later called “reprehensible.” Election fraud is serious. This is not Zimbabwe. If Harper doesn’t want to be perceived as Canada’s version of Robert Mugabe, he and his party have no choice but to co-operate fully with the joint Elections Canada-RCMP investigation underway.

Notwithstanding the utterances of some of their members, the Tories backed a unanimous House of Commons motion put forth by the NDP Monday calling on all MPs to turn over any information they have to what appears to be a widespread Conservative voter-suppression scheme in the 2011 federal election. Blaming it on overly enthusiastic neophytes, as some Tories have done, will never fly. Although a relative few could orchestrate a computerized robocall scheme, a campaign of live voice calls in at least 18 and as many as 40 at-risk ridings could not have taken place without co-ordination and money.

The question that must be answered is how high up the pole this goes. The Harper government’s ethical reputation is at stake. Critics point to the robocalls as the apex of Conservative control politics, ranging from the long-form census issue to removing discretionary sentencing by judges – not to mention pro-rogation of Parliament.

If some riding results are overturned, as they could should a judge determine that dirty tricks resulted in a measurable difference of electors in marginal ridings, the Conservative’s narrow 12-seat majority could be diminished, perhaps even lost. All Tories must respond with the seriousness that this demands.
