Miron era mai usor de intimidat – si plimband de la unul la altul, ii elimini pe amandoi, si pe mama…

Cred ca dupa incapacitarea mamei mele la 6 sapt. dupa 9/11 2001, s-a lansat o operatiune de reducere la tacere… Interesant ar fi rezultatul unor analize medicale sigure, si vazut daca atat de mediatizatul HIV, schizofrenie sau alte presiuni mediatice, mai ales ale grupului Ringier sunt sau nu reale. Poate totul a fost doar un mic exercitiu… Cu cat aduni mai multe tentative, cu atat probabilitatea de a reduce un individ izolat la tacere, a-l decridibiliza sunt mai mari. In mod clar, eu am facut jocul Ford Corp. in presiunile lor asupra SIF5 Oltenia, a lui Dinel Staicu. Probabil in bun spirit sovietic, Ford Motor Corp. Europe m-a folosit ca tovaras de drum, iar dupa incearca sa ma faca disparut. Intrebarea este daca aceasta folosire a mea ca tovaras de drum nu a fost un cover-up pentru furtul probabil de identitate… Poate ca prin asteptata mea depresie, poate “ajutata” cu ceva substante speciale de echipa dr. gen. Gheorghe si a altor personaje din legatura cu serviciile americane, nu s-a incercat decredibilizarea mea si eliminarea mea. Probabil totul a fost o provocare, iar jocul asta lose-lose-lose era destinat sa ma elimine pe mine. Spunea un inginer aeronautic despre Ford si modelul lui Pinto, ca a fost mai ieftin sa castige cateva procese juridice decat sa repare anumite probleme majore de siguranta in fabricatie. A fost vorba de acte pentru Victor Bout, a fost vorba, de GPS diferential pentru aterizari de precizie, poate 9/11 2001 la New York, sau a fost vorba poate mai rau, de sabotaj si infiltrare la EADS Airbus in proiectul rival A380 de concurenta sau de cine stie ce grup de investitori gen Bernie Madoff… In mod clar, serviciile secrete romanesti, incepand cu tentativa de stergere a actelor mele de identitate si studii, cu schimbarea de nume intamplata la CIBC Downtown Calgary – aparent – in certificatul de nastere aflat in safe depozit-box-ul de acolo, cu presiunile ulterioare si re-educarea de tip Gherla facuta inclusiv de fratiorul meu, a fost doar o tentativa de acoperire a unor anumite situatii. Cine este atat de ieftin, este o mare intrebare, dar aparent s-a urmarit o disparitie a unor sanse de limpezire, o intimidare a mea si a anturajului. Curios, procesul s-a accelerat dupa divortul meu de Simona Furtuna, notar public craiovean, si mai ales dupa drumul meu in Calgary din mai 2007. Probabil atunci au intrat in functiune mecanismele de acoperire a urmelor… Imi amintesc de filmul Bourne Ultimatum proiectat la Cinema Patria, vis-a-vis de Judecatoria (sau Tribunalul) Craiova, in care rolul de rogue agent counter-terrorism CIA era interpretat de David Strathairn (personajul Noah Vosen) in august 2007, imediat dupa intoarcerea tip expulzare din Calgary. Curios, in serviciile romane exista un gen. SRI originar din Dolj, acum pensionat, iar posibil un ofiter acoperit, la nivel de conducere. A fost acest film un mijloc de presiune al unui grup asupra acestuia? Am fost injurat telefonic de mama de cineva in-the-know pe 0722325354 cand am mentionat personajul respectiv… Nr. este inactiv, iar eu am de platit Vodafone 400Euro, ca sa nu ajung in proces… Cine face jocurile astea de aparente recrutari, presiuni si altele? Cine incearca sa preseze pe cine? Pacat ca jud. Charles Gonthier, echivalentul sef CSAT Canadian a fost ultimul martor posibil in folosirea identitatii mele sau jocul de presiuni? Din ce vad, Jasmine McDonnell si Lisa Pratt sunt ceilalti care au platit oarecum in jocul asta. Nu stiu daca eventual “nasul” gen. Alexia lucreaza cu cine, dar probabil eu am fost vandut catre alti end-user-i de echipa lui sau chiar de Stefan Alexia. Acoperirea si stergerea posibilitatilor de litigii juridice s-a facut prin diverse echipe, mai psihiatrice, mai body-guards, mai Politie Comunitara. Probabil primarul Antonie Solomon a avut astfel sprijin Ford in jocurile lui imobiliare. Imi amintesc de vecinii Ureche, fosti sportivi ambii, si de cumnatul lor imobiliar Dan Cherciu, consilier local PDL la comisia pentru investitii, parca. Circulau niste zvonuri ca respectivul ar ceda gratis ceva terenuri pt. constructia unui spital regional in mijlocul campului. Cat si-ar fi incarcat respectivul factura, nu se stie, dar in mod sigur firma lui de termopane Casa Noastra, ulterior rebotezata iesea clar din faliment… Bani albi pentru zile negre si pt. pusculita de partid… Curios, Volvo-ul T850 cumparat de la minoritarii romani rezidenti in UK era inscris pe numele unui anume Cherciu… Ce legaturi curioase pot avea vecinii mei cu rezidenti in UK… Zilele acestea sunt tensiuni puternice in UK relativ la rromii nostri, de asemenea si in zona extinsa Toronto. Poate ca fratii Ureche sunt mult mai destepti decat par, si joaca serios in viitoarea politica minoritara europeana… Eu imi amintesc de chistoacele aruncate spre mine de Florin Ureche, fratele cel mic, cand ii treceam prin fata ferestrei (tip termopan)… Sa fie ei cumva rude ale gen. DSS/SIPA Ureche, stiu ca sunt de origine din zona Bailesti…? Curios, vad ca echipa Peter MacKay, ministrul apararii din Canada, probabil “sponsor” al intimidarii si posibilelor “insertii” MEMS din ureche din Calgary 2007, Tory, este in prezent implicat in anumite presiuni de expulzare din Toronto a mea, cumva in natura. In spiritul asta functiona si Bucur Laita, stra-nepotul kominternistului Vasile Karsofski, tatal celui care a “administrat” si oarecum devalizat atelierul bunicului meu Ion Dobre din Bechet in anii ’50. Bucur a lucrat oarecum intr-un grup de interese aparent Patriciu, sau Radu Berceanu, fiind seful lui Miron pentru o perioada indelungata… Cred ca metoda de intimidare este gen “unul-cate-unul”… Aparent voice-mail-ul meu 416-604-5951 este accesibil doar in prezenta persoanelor autorizate, iar mail-urile sunt retinute pentru 21 de zile pe un anumit scenariu de “eavesdropping” rezervat celor suspectati de spionaj sau de apartenenta Al-Quayda. Este cumva cazul de manifestari standard de intimidarea martorilor? Deci sunt lipsit de orice posibilitate de asistenta juridica, sunt mentinut in afara oricaror programe de ajutare a imigrantilor, si daca nu as fi reusit sa prind un job de descarcare de importuri Asia, nu as avea bani sa cumpar nici macar o haina second-hand. Este exact acelasi joc facut in Craiova, la intoarcerea din Calgary… Probabil atunci partenerii celor de aici, “oamenii de bine” din Craiova, gen Rotary Craiova, Lions, au primit ceva ordine oculte de eliminare… Fara job, fara nici un sprijin, un fel de domiciliu fortat este usor de realizat. Exact ca in perioada de trista amintire a anilor ’48-’55… Parca Dr. Cornel Boiangiu era cel care imi oferea marea sansa a unei pensionari psihiatrice… Aici se sugereaza in acelasi pachet pensionare medicala sau psihiatrica. Banuiesc ca in Toronto, la nivelul de stress, afectiunile psihiatrice sunt mult mai comune, iar o pensionare-internare de tip stalinist nu atrage atentia… Pe principiul subsidiaritatii, autoritatile locale au plaja de manevra larga in a aprecia pe cineva dupa bunul lor plac… Prin prisma “vagii” aprecieri in Canada a sigurantei nationale, terorismului si suspectarii de spionaj, este usor sa creezi un mediu de presiune asupra unui subiect, si sa il “oferi” pe tava pentru recrutare, fie drept “sifon” al serviciilor locale, fie il vinzi direct catre Mossad-CIA sau catre serviciile Majestatii Sale… Pana la urma orice individ se viseaza un fel de James Bond, pana cand intra in afaceri gen Litvinenko, cu finalul bine-cunoscut. Altii, mai curiosi, ca mine, pot avea sansa de supravietuire dupa scenariul lui Mario Scaramella… Cert, in jur sunt doar tentative de intimidare, fie de acoperire… Sper sa ma insel, dar cand miza unor acoperiri este de asemenea naturi, orice “asset” devine util, orice personaj poate presta ceva catre un anume sistem, care exista oriunde in lume… Romanii stiu mai bine cum functioneaza regimul de informatori, de “sifoane” comunitare… Parca la Paris ginerele prof. Nisipeanu sugera ceva despre col. SRI… Probabil asta era sansa de capac pentru intimidari, furt de identitate: o pensie de col. SRI si un Mercedes ML…

This Part may be cited as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. ——————————————————————————– EFC Publicat de Mihai Bulacu la 14:29 0 comentarii Mentally ill man didn’t utter threats before he was Tasered: officer THE CANADIAN PRESS 16 July 2009 12:10 HALIFAX, N.S. – The special constable who zapped a mentally ill man with a Taser says Howard Hyde did not utter any threats to him but he decided to use the weapon because officers couldn’t control him during a struggle. Special Const. Greg McCormick – who was working as a booking officer on Nov. 21, 2007 – told an inquiry Thursday that Hyde appeared scared when he was approached with a tool to cut a drawstring from his shorts at Halifax police headquarters. Hyde backed up and asked what the police were doing when he was approached with the tool in the booking area. McCormick said Hyde couldn’t get the drawstring out of his shorts because it was knotted at the ends, so they were going to use the tool, which has a 10-centimetre, curved serrated blade on it. McCormick said the blade on the tool was closed and he was going to use a second, shorter cutting edge to cut the string. “He seemed scared,” he said. “The look on his face, to me it was the look of scared. At first he backed up asking what we were doing and we reassured him we were only cutting off the lace.” After backing up, McCormick said Hyde came toward the officers and pushed past him and Const. Jonathan Edwards. The special constable said he doesn’t remember whether he had his cutting tool out at that point. Video surveillance shows Hyde flailing as two other officers try to handcuff him after they spilled from the booking area and ended up on the floor behind a desk. It was then that McCormick reached for the Taser. McCormick said near where Hyde was struggling with police was an exposed draw with tools in it, including knives. Hyde was zapped with the Taser repeatedly by McCormick before officers got control of him in a nearby hallway after he jumped over a desk and fled. As they gained control of Hyde, McCormick said he couldn’t find a pulse on him so officers began CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. When he regained consciousness, Hyde expressed his fear and McCormick said he tried to reassure him that he was OK. “I felt breath and then I looked at Mr. Hyde’s face, and at that point it was unlike anything I had ever seen, it was like his colour came right back, it’s almost like he woke up, it was like a big breath,” he said. “We’re trained to reassure someone who has just been through something like that, so I am telling him everything is fine and that he’ll be fine.” “And all that I can remember him saying to me specifically is that he was scared.” The 45-year-old Hyde – who had schizophrenia – died at a correctional facility in Dartmouth after a struggle with guards, 30 hours after he was Tasered. Police arrested Hyde after his common-law spouse alleged he had assaulted her at their apartment in Dartmouth. The fatality inquiry is examining the circumstances surrounding Hyde’s death. Police officials have previously acknowledged their testimony of what happened that night conflicts with statements they made to the RCMP in the days after Hyde was Tasered. —————————– In scenariul acesta, alternativele – meniurile sugerate – sunt menaje tip gay, fie casatorii inter-rasiale. Tin minte fratiorul meu cum arunca varianta “sport” pe masa. Simona Furtuna l-a avut antrenor de atletism pe prof. “YJ: (motocicleta ucrainiana cu atas) Corneanu. Probabil undeva-cumva s-a pregatit un scenariu fie de mentally ill, fie de “tratament” cu ceva incapacitanti. Cred ca Octavian Bellu este in tema, mai ales ca acum si-a dat demisia… Probabil sunt consecvente cu circul poneiului roz, al echipei ICR… Cine sa fie scenaristul din Toronto in cazul acestor scripturi: UofT, Richard Florida, sau echipa York University, cu partea psihiatrica? Obiectivul era clar: eliminarea unui martor, prin diverse metode. In caz ca nu se reusea o decredibilizare, se urmarea o recrutare, pe un posibil scenariu englez-american… Daca se rezista si la recrutare, de eliminat subiectul… Praguri de rezistenta, casatorie cu sotie de complezenta, “lucratoare” in serviciile Nord-Americane… sau macar pregatita aici. Probabil Simona F. si-a facut stagiul in sept. 2006… Sugestiile “deal-urile”, cand nu ai acces la servicii juridice, sunt pensie de invaliditate sau cine mai stie ce alta gaselnita… Chestia cu handicapul, cred ca tipii o au de la buddy-ul lor, Radu Berceanu, in business-ul cu Bombardier… Am convingerea ca Radu Berceanu este cel mai in tema cu ceea ce s-a intamplat familiei mele, si ce s-a facut cu actele mele, el cu relatiile lui Mossad… dar el este un spion de bine, si le-o trage celor care nu-i sunt executanti… Ca sa scap de presiunile “civililor” din jur si sa ajung in Europa, cred ca voi fi nevoit sa apelez la consulatul Poloniei din Toronto, sau al Serbiei. Poate ca ei vor avea bunavointa sa ma ajute. Romanii sunt de bine, dar legatura posibila SIPA sau SIE a fostului meu socru, sunt clar ratiuni prin care angajatii Ministerului de Externe roman nu ma pot ajuta, nici in Canada, si nici in alta parte in lume. Cand seful tradeaza, subordonatii sunt foarte atenti, mai ales cand il stiu tradator, vanzator… Trebuie sa le intelegi pozitia, bietilor oameni… Au si ei o pensie, un salariu, rate, ipoteci… si sefi linie dura… Cred ca doar in Europa pot avea curajul sa-mi fac un test HIV, daca nu cumva am fost injectat “letal” in Laval… Sau poate Laval si Dorval sunt brand-urile cunoscute in ROmania… pt. haine second-hand.. Publicat de Mihai Bulacu la 11:27 0 comentarii Pot sa ies din Canada pe pasaportul romanesc? Sper sa pot iesi din Canada pe pasaportul romanesc, sa nu mai fiu nevoit sa mut cutii sau sa inghit diverse lucruri… Cred ca este cam riscant sa mai stau pe aici, si imi pot eventual plati imediat cei 1320 CAD datorie, sa-mi iau altul. In plus, in Toronto nici nu are cine sa semneze, deci pierd timpul pe aici… Chiar sa fi mutat Guantanamo in Canada? Pana aici tin drepturile omului in Canada? Un pic de medicamente “umanitarii” astia de pe aici nu se simt sa trimita mamei mele, ci doar re-educari de tip Borat si alte marlanii, cu accidente vasculare la cerere, (on-demand) si fracturi de sold, cand este tatucul Bush in Romania sa-si ia tainul de TVA-uri…. Astazi a fost a treia tentativa de a fi scos de la Salvation Army, deci impins in strada la supravietuire. Acces la nici un program de angajare, iar presiunea “oamenilor de bine” canadieni este puternica… Vad ca exista multi lucratori gen sef de scara, cunoscutii din Romania, cei care lucreaza cu sectoristul, dispusi sa te re-educe, si sa te impinga in voluntariate… Poate ai pana atunci un mic accident, si se scapa de orice problema juridica. Partea cu abuzurile psihiatrice si “relativitatea” medicala o stia chiar Peter Drucker, prin scrierile lui… Poate ca din cauza asta destule persoane cu cunostinte in domeniul medical au renuntat la Canada, din diverse motive de discriminare, de inegalitate de sanse in acces la piata muncii… Aviz amatorilor, aici nu mai sunteti in Europa, puteti fi imediat etichetati drept subversivi, teroristi sau cine mai stie…. In principiu, toate sansele pentru un voluntariat de lunga durata, si o ipotetica sansa de cariera in domeniul de pregatire… Imi amintesc de un coleg francofon din Montreal care in timpul M.Eng. de la Ecole Polytechnique mi-a spus clar ca voi avea b.s (bien-etre social)… L-am re-intalnit la Bombardier DSD, si poate ca respectivul proprietar de Subaru 4×4 nu era civil, si poate a avut un mic rol in posibilul scenariu Bout… Poate ca Dr. Udristoiu si Boiangiu impreuna cu echipa Langley au pregatit la Budapesta un scenariu de “mentally ill”, permitant proceduri de “eugenizare”. Poate ca Miron mergea la convocarile bi-saptamanale in scenariul respectiv… Asa se “eugenizeaza” martorii… In 1995 la referendumul de independenta al Quebec-ului am fost dintre cei care au votat pentru pastrarea Canadei… M-am implicat cu un vot, cred ca am suparat pe cei 6 milioane de francofoni, dar asta este. De unde sa stiu eu ca sunt vandut de romani-canadieni ca un set de acte… Sunt destul de reticent sa ma bag in orice care are impact politic, dar fraierii de romani “inghit” la pachet orice abuz din Canada pe principiul antecedentului, sau cum se cheama juridic… Un pic de spaga, o viza, plimbat cateva limuzine, un avion, o subventie de cercetare, si incep romanii sa se vanda ieftin. Un mare medic roman spunea odata cuiva ca este destept, dar se vinde ieftin. Politicienii romani, din pacate, sunt, cum scria R.T.Naylor despre altii “The best money can buy”, adica foarte ieftini… Miza e mare, iar pe cei de pe acolo presiunile sunt atat de mari, incat greu sa reziste. Cred, vazand oarecum ce s-a intamplat in jurul meu, ca s-au facut asupra majoritatii celor din functii de raspundere presiune, santaje si recrutari ca informatori etc etc pana la a 3-a spitza… Imi amintesc Ziua Aviatiei de anul trecut cand gen. Croitoru, ceva sef cu inzestrarea, aviator, entuziast, vorbea cam prea tehnic. S-a “intamplat” furtul de la Ciorogarla, si un ziar scria ca “marinarul a tuns croitorul”. Miza este mare, 42 avioane, 4 miliarde achizitii, plus contractele anexe… In principiu, in politica mai bine esti in spate, decat sa fii tu nevoit sa semnezi contractul… Mai bine santajul si “indrumarea” decat raspunderea.

It marks the 11th anniversary of the statute that launched the world’s first International Criminal Court, a permanent platform for bringing some of the worst war criminals and perpetrators of genocide to justice. Its first trial, of Congolese militia leader Thomas Lubanga, is now underway. Canada, one of the founding members of the court, has reason to applaud. The ICC’s first president was Philippe Kirsch, a Canadian who shepherded the Hague-based institution through its first years and recently handed over the job to Korean lawyer Sang-Hyun Song. But the court began its work with a significant handicap that lengthened the odds on its success. The United States, under George W. Bush, withdrew its support because it feared it would be vulnerable to war crimes charges for American military campaigns abroad. An alarmed U.S. Congress passed the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, nicknamed “The Hague Invasion Act.” It mandated the use of “all means necessary and appropriate” to rescue any service person who fell into the court’s clutches. Now the new president, Barack Obama, has raised hopes that the big chill on international justice may be thawing. One positive sign is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s declaration this week that America was entering a new “multi-partner” era in which justice, along with liberty and democracy, is a top priority. Another is Obama’s appointment of former Yale dean Harold Hongju Koh as a State Department legal adviser. The high-profile human rights expert will be the president’s point person for an internal policy review of America’s status with the court. The result could bring the U.S. to the table for the first time as an observer at a preparatory meeting for a landmark review of the court in 2010. It may be years, rather than months, before America will once again sign onto the court and provide it with crucial moral, logistical and financial backing. That would require much political will in crisis-ridden Washington. In the meantime, the ICC has some reason to hope that its hand will be strengthened by an important ally in its worldwide struggle against impunity.

Unii le spun voluntariate, Red Lyons, Rotary, dar jocurile sunt mai din spate, iar multa lume, de voie, de nevoie, face jocurile… Romanii stiu mai bine cum functioneaza asa-zisele voluntariate, excese de zel etc etc… Cred ca totusi mare parte din joc a inceput de la gen. Alexia, iar in vara 1996 au intrat oarecum canadienii-englezii, prin gen. Gordon Diamond. Probabil ulterior au intrat baietii de la Boeing sau de la Langley Va, poate pentru Bout, poate pentru A380, poate pentru ceva afaceri ATC in Afghanistan, nu stiu nici eu, iar altii cu atat mai putin. Probabil cei de la York au venit cu rahaturile gen soldier, gen veteran de razboi. Probabil asa se pot sterge niste diplome, asa se fabrica un istoric neclar, pe care-l poti manipula cum vrei, asa poti acoperi ceva acuze foarte vagi, poti sugera spionaj, terorism. Intr-o tara in care consumul de droguri este mare, este foarte usor de decridibilizat, si poti aranja usor o crima facuta de niste vecini drogati, sau o teaserizare de catre RCMP. Cred ca Bombardier DSD a inceput procedura prin RCMP. Sunt foarte curios daca vaccinarea tropicala din vara 1996 nu a fost o vaccinare cu HIV, cum libienii au acuzat pe asistentele bulgaroaice… Chiar in spiritul mengelist sa se functioneze in Canada?

The 37-year-old lawyer who a month or so ago died “suddenly,” donations requested in his memory to Renascent or Oasis. The young man whose sudden death recently ended his great suffering. The teens whose families request donations to the Centre for Mental Health and Addiction rather than some school scholarship fund or environmental cause. Ontario Health Minister David Caplan did two things this week in hosting a two-day summit on mental health and addiction and releasing the province’s discussion paper on developing a long-term strategy for same. First, Caplan declared that he gets it. He understands the statistics, the suffering, the cost in both economic and human terms. He understands the link between mental illness and substance abuse. He understands the complexity of concurrent disorders, the epidemic of suicides. He understands the current inadequacy – even with spending of $2.5 billion – of services. Second, in kicking the gathering off by telling his own family story to the Star, in essentially making the issue of mental health his own, Caplan has raised expectations such that failure will win him not just disappointment, but justified contempt. “I am absolutely committed to building a new mental health and addictions strategy,” he said yesterday, concluding in a wave of rhetorical “join me’s.” “We can and we must do more. … I’m committed to taking action. … Let’s get started.” According to his discussion paper, the economic costs are staggering. In Ontario, the private sector spends at least $2.1 billion a year on disability claims, drug costs and employee assistance plans. Mental health disability claims, especially depression, have overtaken cardiovascular disease as the fastest-growing category of disability costs in Canada. Mental health and addiction costs Ontario $2.3 billion annually in law enforcement services. “In total, mental health and addictions cost Ontario at least $39 billion a year,” the paper said. “Not including the overwhelming emotional costs to people with lived experience and their families and friends that we simply cannot measure.” Caplan heard some of that yesterday in the form of stories told by those who’ve walked the road. Stories that involved the most horrific sort of chaos inflicted and endured by those in the grip of addiction and illness. Stories that involved the slow, incremental loss of a loved one to dementia. Stories that told the cost, in money, exhaustion and despair, of seeking help for family members. In a way, it was nothing that most of those working in the field hadn’t heard before. Neither was publication of yet another paper “towards” yet another strategy – even if this one had the impossibly optimistic title of Every Door is the Right Door. So familiar was the exercise that one veteran in the field felt the need to suggest that this time it’s different. “The minister’s serious about this stuff,” Tom Regehr told more than 1,000 people at the convention centre. “This is not fooling around.” Paul Garfinkel, president of CAMH, agreed that the province was “on the cusp of a transformation. … We have a unique opportunity to make real change.” If so, it was the minister himself who set the bar so high. If he succeeds, David Caplan will more than justify Premier Dalton McGuinty’s decision not to cut him loose over the recent eHealth Ontario fiasco. If not, he will have failed at the very test he said yesterday – the care of the most vulnerable – that defines a society. Jim Coyle’s provincial affairs column appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. ————————————– http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/they-were-looking-for-the-ideal-manchurian-candidate/article1216879/ ‘They were looking for the ideal Manchurian Candidate’ Artist Sarah Anne Johnson poses amongst her sculptures in her exhibition, House on Fire, at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Artist turns secret CIA experiments on her grandmother into powerful exhibit Sarah Milroy From Tuesday’s Globe and Mail Last updated on Wednesday, Jul. 15, 2009 04:25AM EDT For some people, family history is like a vulture at the feast of life, waiting to swoop down and envelop you in its gnarly embrace. Winnipeg artist Sarah Anne Johnson has clearly felt its wing beat overhead, and, sitting last week in the middle of House on Fire , her new show at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario, she has the jitters. It’s understandable. At 33, she has taken it on her shoulders to confront her family’s dark story in an exhibition of sculptures and works on paper that come from her core. Before coming to meet with her, I reviewed the facts: In the mid-fifties, her late maternal grandmother, Velma Orlikow, was diagnosed with postpartum depression. She was sent to Montreal for treatment, to the Allan Memorial Institute at McGill University, the site of now infamous mind-control experiments under the direction of Dr. Ewen Cameron. Though her family didn’t know it at the time, the clinic was receiving funding from the CIA to conduct procedures in brainwashing. The project was called MK-Ultra, and the team made the Winnipeg mother of two, and a number of other patients, their unwitting subjects. “They were looking for the ideal Manchurian Candidate,” Johnson says. “It’s almost impossible to believe, it is just so crazy.” Over the course of several stays, her grandmother was subjected to intensive electro-convulsive therapy, with an aim to wipe her memory clean for re-programming. “Dr. Cameron called it psychic driving. He was willing to push his experiments to the limit,” Johnson says. The medical records also show that her grandmother was the subject of 14 experiments with LSD. “When I was little, I used to go every day and spend a couple of hours at my Nan’s house after school, waiting for my parents to finish work,” Johnson recalls, remembering her grandmother’s later years. “There were always so many books and magazines stacked up everywhere in her house, and I used to think: ‘Wow, she is so smart to have read all of this stuff.’ It was only later that I understood it could take her a month to read a newspaper, or a week to write a note. Before the hospital, she had been a huge reader, but now she just was sitting there in the middle of her own failure.” Johnson, who has read her grandmother’s journals, marvels at her vulnerability. “In those days, you didn’t ask questions, and my grandfather was convinced that she was receiving the best cutting-edge care,” Johnson says. Her journals report that she protested the treatment, but the doctors prevailed. “One of them was from Scotland, and he would say, ‘Now lassie, you know you have to trust me.’ She fell in love with him I think. In her journals, she writes about his hands, his voice. She gave her sanity over to him. How can a person do that?” If she failed to comply with treatment, Johnson says, the doctors would tell her she was a bad mother and a bad wife, unwilling to take the steps necessary to get better for her family’s sake. It was by fluke that they came to understand what had happened to her. The New York Times broke the story of the experiments in an article in 1977. “My grandfather happened to read it and he thought, ‘Wait, those are the years Vel was there.’ ” She mobilized herself, leading a group of seven other former patients and waging a class-action suit against the CIA. (In 1988, they finally settled out of court, each receiving less than $80,000.) “She was just such a fighter,” Johnson says, describing the life her grandmother would make for herself in the aftermath, travelling with her husband, David Orlikow, who became an NDP member of Parliament. “I mean, she was one of the first Canadian women to go to China. I have a picture of her patting a lion in Africa.” The damage, though, was irreversible, and Johnson’s works reveal its profound legacy. Johnson’s mother had to grow up fast, caring for a mother given to deep depressions and sporadic rages. Some of the works on paper in Johnson’s exhibition present the three generations of women, sometimes together, the photographic imagery overlaid with decorative patterns suggesting psychotic or psychedelic visions, or delicate Victorian lacework. In one, a photograph shows the smiling grandmother holding her two grandchildren in her lap (Johnson and her brother), with the grandmother’s hands turning into vines and tendrils that encircle the children in an insidious grasp. Other images show her eyes sprouting decorative cable-like forms that suggest, Johnson says, “snakes, DNA, ropes, those sorts of things.” It’s in the sculptures, though, that the full force of Johnson’s feelings emerge. Her grandmother was a collector of Inuit soapstone carving, and Johnson often played with these objects during her after-school visits. They haunt this display of small, rounded bronzes, nudes of her grandmother as rotund as the Venus of Willendorf and appended with wooden branches that emanate from her mouth or her arms. In one, she appears to chew at her branch-arms, expressing, Johnson says, the efforts to amputate those parts of one’s family tree that threaten the people you love. In another, the hands and feet are turned backwards, or the face is sheared off and turned in on itself, inscrutable. “When do you get the chance to pry, to ask your mother or your grandmother about the things that were hard in their life,” Johnson says to me. “When they are sad? No, because it makes things worse. When they are happy? No, because you don’t want to bring them down. So you just don’t.” In one sculpture, the head is replaced with the head of a squirrel, a reference to her grandmother’s description of the effects of her treatments, which made her mind race, and her attention scattered and frantic. This show is a departure for Johnson, whose earlier sculptural dioramas and photographs have dealt loosely with environmental themes. Educated at the University of Manitoba and Yale School of Art, she has a rising reputation both in Canada and internationally. Last year, she won the $50,000 Grange Prize at the AGO for her photographs on the theme of tree planting – some of them documents of her own travels and others studio shots of her mixed-media dioramas peopled with handmade clay figurines. Through it all, however, her grandmother’s experience has played in the back of her mind. “My first work in art school was a collection of boxes that you could look inside of,” she remembers. “In one of them I remember there was a hospital bed with a green strobe light beneath it and a woman crawling up the wall. It was her.” For all that these works have arisen from a particular family’s story, their relevance is far from specific. Like the French-born American artist Louise Bourgeois, who took a bizarre family history and created an iconography with broad feminist implications, Johnson too has made work that will be revelatory for anyone who has lost their voice, or felt the obliterating effects of manipulation. They are also icons of recovery, opening up avenues for further work. “Every piece I made here opened the door to another cellar full of ideas,” Johnson says. “See, there are little birds here,” she adds, using her fingertips to separate the branches and leaves of the tree which grows up through her dollhouse of horrors, another large sculptural piece in the show. Spreading the foliage so these birds can be seen more plainly, she adds, “It’s not all bad, you see? “There’s some optimism. Things are getting better.” House on Fire continues at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto until Aug. 23. ————————————– http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/officer-denies-he-doctored-his-report-in-tasering-death/article1217270/ Officer denies he doctored his report in tasering death OLIVER MOORE HALIFAX — From Tuesday’s Globe and Mail Last updated on Wednesday, Jul. 15, 2009 04:25AM EDT A police officer involved in the tasering of paranoid schizophrenic Howard Hyde could not explain why so much of his report was essentially identical to one written earlier by a colleague, but denied the suggestion he had “doctored” it. The inquiry into the jailhouse death of Mr. Hyde also heard yesterday an allegation the unco-operative prisoner was sworn at during a rapidly escalating situation at police headquarters and told he would be “doing the … dance next.” An altercation broke out immediately after and Mr. Hyde, who had been off his medication and acting erratically before his arrest, was tasered repeatedly. He died 30 hours later in a Dartmouth jail. The inquiry into the November, 2007, death began hearing witnesses last week. Halifax Regional Police Constable Jonathan Edwards, the arresting officer, was on the stand all day yesterday. Constable Edwards was one of many officers involved in the struggle that broke out during the booking. The fracas ended with the 45-year-old prisoner not breathing and having to be revived in a hallway. After he had accompanied Mr. Hyde to hospital, Constable Edwards returned to the police station to write up the incident. A lawyer for Mr. Hyde’s sister and her husband questioned the officer again and again yesterday about numerous similarities between his account and one drafted an hour earlier by Special Constable Gregory McCormick, the man who actually used the taser on Mr. Hyde. “I am going to suggest today that you went in and used and doctored Special Constable McCormick’s statement to create your own,” Kevin MacDonald said. “These are identical words, they’re his words … you used his words.” Constable Edwards repeatedly denied having cribbed his colleague’s report. The inquiry also walked through the lead-up to the tasering, with Constable Edwards offering new details on the alleged risk posed by Mr. Hyde. He testified that the booking room struggle brought the prisoner within reach of a drawer full of knives and other weapons. The drawer was unlocked and the one immediately above it was missing, he said, allowing a clear view of these weapons. The prisoner received his first tasering seconds later. Constable Edwards acknowledged that his notes or other paperwork do not include mention of concern over Mr. Hyde arming himself during the struggle. The officer explained the late revelation by saying he had a lot on his mind in the aftermath of the incident. It was not clear why weapons were stored in an accessible drawer, though Constable Edwards said that is no longer the practice. Also heard for the first time was his allegation that Mr. Hyde had earlier tried to reach for a cutting tool held by another officer, who intended to sever the drawstring of the prisoner’s shorts. That was not recorded by surveillance cameras, but some audio around the alleged incident was captured. It was then, during the rapidly building tension, Mr. MacDonald suggested, that one of the officers told Mr. Hyde he would be made to “dance.” ————————————– http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/calls-grow-for-probe-of-secret-cia-program/article1217240/ Calls grow for probe of secret CIA program Democrats pursue Dick Cheney’s role PAMELA HESS WASHINGTON — Associated Press Last updated on Wednesday, Jul. 15, 2009 04:25AM EDT Congressional demands for an investigation grew yesterday over new disclosures that a secret CIA program to capture or kill al-Qaeda leaders was concealed from Congress for eight years, perhaps at the behest of former vice-president Dick Cheney. The program, which never got off the ground and remains shrouded in mystery, was designed to target leaders of the terrorism network at close range, rather than with air strikes that risked civilian casualties, government officials with knowledge of the operation said yesterday. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. The program was cancelled last month by CIA director Leon Panetta shortly after he first learned of it. Some Democratic lawmakers suggested failure to notify the congressional intelligence committees violates oversight laws, which require the intelligence community to keep Congress informed of its activities. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that House and Senate intelligence committees should “take whatever actions they believe are necessary to get more information on the subject,” including whether Mr. Cheney played a direct role in proposing the secret program and withholding information from Congress. Democrat Senator Russ Feingold, joining the ranks of those calling for a thorough investigation, said, “Individuals who ordered that Congress be kept in the dark should be held accountable.” He said he had “deep concerns about the program itself,” adding that he had written to President Barack Obama to ask for the probe. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democrat at the head of the Senate intelligence committee, has said that being kept in the dark by the CIA broke the law and “should never, ever happen again.” But defenders of Mr. Cheney suggested that no laws were broken because the counterterrorism program never got beyond the talking stage. However, the issue might come down to whether any tax dollars were spent on the planning – and thus subject to congressional scrutiny. “There are points governed by law at which the executive branch is obligated to notify Congress of an anticipated intelligence activity,” said Vicki Divoll, a former deputy counsel to the CIA Counterterrorist Center who was general counsel of the Senate intelligence committee from 2001 to 2003. “Even if arguably those points weren’t reached, the executive branch may not spend money developing a program if those funds had not been appropriated and authorized by Congress,” said Prof. Divoll, who teaches government at the U.S. Naval Academy. It presented a delicate dilemma for the Obama administration, which so far has steered clear of joining congressional calls for thoroughly investigating controversial intelligence-community actions under former president George W. Bush and Mr. Cheney and prosecuting those who broke the law. Robert Gibbs, Mr. Obama’s spokesman, continued on this careful path yesterday, saying Mr. Panetta was reviewing how keeping the information from congressional intelligence leaders “came to pass and I think that’s wise.” “The President believes that Congress should always be briefed fully and in a timely manner in accordance with the law. Those are his beliefs as it relates to any of these programs,” Mr. Gibbs said. According to one official with direct knowledge of the aborted CIA plan, Mr. Bush authorized killing al-Qaeda leaders and that Congress was made aware of that. However, the official said, according to notes on the early months of the program, Mr. Cheney directed the CIA not to inform Congress of the specifics of the program.

Most women do not have enough money in the bank to pay for a lawyer. Even those who can start out paying for their lawyer may run out of money before their case is finished. There is some assistance provided by the government for those who cannot afford their own lawyer. What is LAO? LAO –Legal Aid Ontario — is a system that can pay for legal representation for those who cannot afford to pay for it themselves, in some situations. It operates using a “certificate” system. Successful applicants receive a certificate that they can take to any lawyer who accepts legal aid. The certificate sets out what issues Legal Aid will pay for and a maximum number of hours the lawyer may spend on the case. The lawyer can apply for additional hours if needed, but will not necessarily receive them. Are there any limitations? There are a number of limitations: * people must meet the financial eligibility requirements, which are very low * not all family law issues are covered by legal aid * not all lawyers accept legal aid, because the hourly rate they are paid is so low Can the abused women’s shelter help me? Legal Aid Ontario provides violence against women agencies with Family Violence Authorization Forms. These can be given to women who need legal advice or information. Each form allows the woman to have up to 4 hours of advice at no cost, and she can have up to 5 forms a year. She can take this form to any lawyer who accepts legal aid. How else can I pay? If a woman is not eligible for legal aid, she will have to find her own resources to pay for a lawyer. This may mean borrowing money, cashing in savings or RRSPs, placing a mortgage (or an additional mortgage) on her home, asking her family to assist her or taking on a second (or third) job. What is Duty Counsel? Her only other choice is to represent herself. If she does this, she can seek the assistance of the Duty Counsel lawyer at the family court, but this lawyer can provide only limited assistance. The duty counsel lawyer can: * provide legal information and advice * prepare and review documents * represent people in some motions * assist with settlement negotiations However, the duty counsel lawyer is there to assist everyone who needs help, and cannot provide the kind of in-depth assistance that women require when they are going to family court. This Fact Sheet contains general legal information only. It is not a legal document, nor is it a replacement for legal advice. Anyone in a situation involving family, immigration or refugee law is strongly urged to meet with a lawyer to understand fully their rights and responsibilities, the legal options available to them and appropriate legal processes. A lawyer can interpret the law and provide advice based on the personal facts and information in the specific case.
