Another one bites the dust

And we are closer to the “hostile takeover of the apparatus of democratic government and an end to the rule of law."

Harper and his hyenas have removed yet another independent oversight agent.  He has become inconvenient, as has Peter Tinsley, the man in charge of the ongoing inquiry into the treatment of Afghan detainees.  His term will not be renewed next month.

Now Paul Kennedy joins the growing list of independent oversight agents Harper has axed.  Kennedy chaired  the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.

Kennedy, whose last day on the job will be Dec. 31, reportedly would have accepted another term. He was interested in seeing through anticipated new legislation to bring in a civilian oversight agency for the RCMP.  Kennedy recently completed an investigation into the death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport and has investigated in-custody deaths, Taser use and how Mounties investigate themselves.

We were warned of this steady, ruthless undermining of an independent public service years ago.

There has been a kind of coup d'état over the government  operations of Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico.

The first formal step towards the NAU was NAFTA...

The second formal step was the  integration and subjugation of Canada's military  into the  US military command under NORAD,  NORTHCOM, and the  Bi-National Planning Agreement...

The third formal step in the creation of the NAU was the implementation of the respective liberty-stripping anti-terrorist legislations, the Patriot Act in the USA and the Anti-terrorist Act in Canada...

The fourth formal step is the SPP, Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement. That agreement is a "hostile takeover" of the Executive branch of government, a coup d'état over the government  operations of Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico.

The three branches of democratic governance are:

1, the legislative arm, i.e., the policy makers, the people we elect;

2, the judicial arm, i.e., judges who  interpret and apply the laws created by the policy makers; and

3, the executive arm, i.e., the civil service, the bureaucracy, who implement and run the policy and operations of government.

And how do we, the electorate, fit into this new world of the rich, powerful, and unaccountable?

We will be no more than one of their resources - worker/consumers to provide them with cheap labour and buy their dubious products so they can become even wealthier, more powerful, and more removed and detached from the majority of people and their needs.
