The NDP of Carole James is providing opposition to a government that is a figment of her imagination. The NDP bumps against the real forces only occasionally and by accident. The unions, mostly, share the Carole James view, or – worse – are rumoured to be investing in some of the ugliest of the corporate schemes to rob British Columbians of public wealth and public power. Or they are curling up in a warm corner saying: “this isn’t really a UNION concern”.

And Glen Clark – the last honest B.C. premier – recently made a comment about the game of delay being played over B.C. Ferries investigations, presently being half-faked. Quite properly, he pointed out that – in a similar situation, a vessel malfunctioning, for instance – he had set an investigation in motion and had a complete report before the public in four months, unlike the “secretized” B.C. Ferries operation now closed up tight and run by U.S. immigrant, David Hahn, chosen from a bankrupt, Enron-style, U.S. corporation by an “independent” board chaired by (the famous) David Emerson (a former close associate of Gordon Campbell).

Glen Clark! Glen Clark! The last honest premier of B.C.! At the very mention of his name killer germs are let loose from the secret laboratories of the monopoly CanWest media organization. Vaughn Palmer – “Gordon Campbell’s personal representative at the Vancouver Sun” in charge of toxic warfare – leapt to his microphone to cough all over Clark. Michael Smyth of the Province tried to outdo Palmer in sleaze and baseless insult. But a CanWest journalist has to be really experienced to produce something sleazier than Vaughn Palmer can produce. (See. The private corporate press and media do Campbell’s bidding as knee-jerk, brainless responses.)

Why the effort? Why the all-out attack on Glen Clark? Because CanWest Media/Gordon Campbell/the Board of Trade all know the person who could win B.C. if he re-entered politics is Glen Clark. Even when his name is barely mentioned, they do everything they can to slander, demean, insult, ridicule, wound, and injure him. (Just for the record –remember: Glen Clark ran an almost spotless government, and when the combined operation of “betrayer” NDP forces, masked Gordon Campbell interests, portions of the RCMP, most of the Private Monopoly press and media, and others – the Supreme Court of B.C. is not free of suspicion – moved like a huge, tireless tidal wave to pin a criminal conviction on him, they failed, completely. The Honourable Madame Justice Elizabeth Bennett found him innocent of all charges. But to ease the decision – and save herself from embarrassment? – she scolded Clark for being imprudent in his friendships, a truly amazing piece of judicial impropriety. But, you say, “Madame Justice Bennett came through and proved herself above the interests of anti-Clark forces; she served justice in the end”. Perhaps. Or did she know that an appeal court – and, if necessary an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada – would throw the whole disreputable, chicanery set of charges into the ashcan, damning all earlier court processes involved in “getting Clark”?)

All those “accidents of history” happening at the same time leave the field clear for the British Columbia population to be so badly informed by the deceptions and misrepresentations emanating from the Private Monopoly CanWest Press and Media in B.C., the Globe and Mail, and others, that the unsuspecting among BCers will accept what is plainly false as what is true.

A person would have to have the ingenuousness of a country Sunday School teacher to wonder how all those people in press and media could form solid ranks to misinform, to falsify, to cover up, to – in effect – lie to the people. Think of Nazi Germany, of Stalin’s Russia. Or for that matter, think of the USA for the first three years of war in Iraq (supported overwhelmingly in Senate and House of Representatives and in the major press).

In the chaos of criminality which is the present state of B.C. an opposition is appearing and growing – generated very largely from people outside the structures I have described above and possessing a growing militancy. The existence of that growing opposition might be signalled by one person, a subscription analyst of B.C. affairs – John Twigg, who has been reporting from the Victoria legislature for some years. Twigg sells his analyses to people who want the thoughts of a constant, intelligent observer of public affairs in B.C. He would probably call himself non-partisan and objective. I believe he tries to be those things. I see him as a naturally small “c” conservative.

In his “B.C Politics Trendwatch” for this month Twigg does a beginning of the year summary of Gordon Campbell’s government. Twigg (a decent human being) is deeply, morally offended by what he sees and records. He records and records and records, admitting he is only scratching the surface of default, wrong-doing, sleight-of-hand, misrule, breach of trust. The things I call “government crime”.

Twigg’s language is not complimentary. He uses sharp expressions. The opinion poll-Paradise presented to B.C. people may be “a deliberately manufactured deceit”. The premier is “the increasingly arrogant [Gordon] Campbell”, operating a “crazy stewardship” over health care, presiding over “management scandals and policy blunders”. The dirty sale of B.C Rail, for Twigg, involved “games played by millionaires and billionaires using partisan hacks to obtain valuable public assets”. Basi, Basi, and Virk – the cabinet aides charged largely out of the B.C. Rail events, whose trial has been delayed – perhaps criminally – until April 2 (now, more than three and a quarter years after being charged) are, writes Twigg, “really only small fry caught up in much bigger games”.

And, after all, will the trial of the three men ever take place? Will their “handlers” ever face charges? Or is this merely an April Fool’s joke by the Gordon Campbell circle presented by the Honourable Madame Justice Elizabeth Bennett? She was, remember, judge in the trial of Glen Clark, the set of events I call “the fraudulent RCMP investigation and trial of Glen Clark, B.C. premier”. I continue to call for a full-scale, Royal Commission-level investigation and inquiry into the whole set of events which destroyed Glen Clark’s political role in the Province and set up Gordon Campbell to operate the corporate despotism we now enjoy.

Of the Children and Families ministry wrong-doing Twigg writes of “a monstrous cover-up” and he writes of carefully chosen investigative hack, former Judge Ted Hughes, being able to “bully almost everyone to NOT get into retroactive recriminations”. Twigg tells his readers that “lawsuits against government negligence, incompetence, and alleged malfeasance are so common that preventing them has become a major driving force behind public policy”. And he cites Gordon Campbell hypocrisy concerning social assistance quality, information about apprenticeship programs, quackery private “schools” and “colleges”, drug fighting programs – need we go on…? John Twigg does “go on” for nearly 18 hard copy pages, all the while apologizing for failing to cover the ground sufficiently.

John Twigg is a careful and thoughtful reporter of B.C. affairs – no “extremist” he.

Two things, however, are wrong about Twigg’s beginning of 2007 review of government in B.C. First, he skims many of the corruption scandals, almost as if fearing to talk about them in any depth. Maybe that can be excused because of the attempt Twigg makes to show just how wide-ranging are the Gordon Campbell B.C. government’s instances of wrong-doing, breaches of trust, and calculated misrepresentations. But I believe there is another reason as well. Part of the answer, I think, is that Twigg hasn’t yet digested the implications of what he has written. Or – to put it in another way – he still can’t believe the facts that he himself lays out. One tiny clue appears when he discusses the very, very strange conviction of a Gordon Campbell relation, Doug Walls, for “fraud in a car-dealership bankruptcy”. (Vanc. Sun, Jan 13 07 F5) Reported for some reason in the Business section (as if the main interest of Walls is his car dealership doings), the story was masked, journalistically covered-up, as I will show, and – as Twigg notes – was released “during the holidays when few people would notice”. Then he adds, astonishingly, as if he would expect Vaughn Palmer to disclose what the people should know: “and [when] Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer was on holidays”.

That is almost funny. In a world of ordinary living and decent behaviour, a Vaughn Palmer would be a watch-dog for democracy, a person committed to assure just treatment for all. Ordinary Canadians have a perfect right to believe that the senior political columnist for the Vancouver Sun is a man who objectively investigates and fairly reports on the province’s business. But no political analyst with any insight should be fooled in that way. I don’t call Vaughn Palmer “Gordon Campbell’s personal representative at the Vancouver Sun” for nothing. And that designation hasn’t been recognized by many as fitting for nothing.

First, the shabby story of Doug Walls was carried by the Vancouver Sun on January 13. There was nothing to stop Palmer from taking it up and telling his readers the implications of Walls’ conviction. But if a person thinks Palmer would have wanted to do so, that person has a very different view of B.C. affairs than I have.

The story in the Vancouver Sun by “Canadian Press with Sun files” is a complete snow job. We are told something about Walls’ fraud over $5000.00 in 1998 in Prince George as a car dealer. We are told a Special Prosecutor was appointed because “Walls is a former executive of the provincial Liberal party and is related by marriage to [Gordon] Campbell.” That takes five-sixths of the story. The final one-sixth hints at what is being covered up.

“Walls figured in the resignation of Gordon Hogg as children’s minister in 2004 over financial irregularities connected to government contracts doled out to a non-profit society run by Walls.” Notice that no mention is made of the deputy minister who was fired because he was, apparently, “too close” to Walls. What does that mean? Why is the deputy minister not mentioned? The very small, remaining part of the story is about minister Hogg’s death as cabinet minister and then resurrection as “minister of state for ActNow BC”, a make-work job for Hogg, dealing with physical fitness.

The main story (almost unmentioned) is about the tens of thousands of dollars that were paid out to a non-profit organization run by Walls. The money, apparently, disappeared. Walls had an eccentric relation with the ministry. When he was dismissed, and the deputy minister fired, and minister Gordon Hogg forced to resign, what investigation was made of Walls’ innocence? Where did the money go? Has it been accounted for? Has it been retrieved? Was Doug Walls shunted to a charge involving CIBC in Prince George to shift attention from the uncleared scandal in Gordon Hogg’s Children and Families ministry? Why hasn’t the Special Prosecutor investigated Walls’ actions in the ministry? Why do we not have a full report of the connection of Walls (Gordon Campbell’s relation) to the ministry, to the scandal there, to the loss of taxpayers’ money, and to the firing of the deputy minister and the resignation of Gordon Hogg, minister? That is a fitting area of investigation for the Vancouver Sun’s senior political columnist, Vaughn Palmer – an investigation we may be confident will never take place (not, at least, by Vaughn Palmer).

What we face in the Doug Walls matter is the possibility that criminal charges should be laid against more than one person involved in the scandal that saw the deputy minister fired and the minister resign. Instead, the B.C. public has never been told enough information about the scandal to be able to make an informed judgment about it. Criminals may be loose and, perhaps, at work in the ministry to this day because of the failure of justice and the abject failure of the press and media, and the failure of “investigator” former judge Ted Hughes in the matter. That is but one case in a large number arising out of Gordon Campbell’s kind of government. John Twigg makes the story look less dark by implying that if only Vaughn Palmer hadn’t been on holidays the story would have faced stern scrutiny.

I wrote above that two things are wrong about Twigg’s beginning of 2007 review of government in B.C. The second is larger and more important – in fact so important it shows how the awakening to the Gordon Campbell B.C. government’s corruption is still in the making, even among those who should know. No doubt it is very, very hard to accept the fact that an administration is driven almost wholly by devious, destructive, and anti-democratic agendas formulated to serve wealthy interests for whom B.C. and the people of B.C. make up a gigantic treasure trove to be broken into, robbed, brutalized, and cast aside.

For some reason – in no way explainable by the tone and the concern of his review – John Twigg ignores the chief agenda of the Gordon Campbell B.C. government, the chief signs of its intention to loot and to ruin B.C. wealth and B.C. people. Twigg mentions the dirty sale of B.C. Rail because he cannot talk about the personal greed and power-seeking involved without doing so. But the dirty sale of B.C. Rail is a part of the overall dismantling of the Province and the sucking away of the wealth owned by the B.C. people.

To deal with that major intention, a review has to deal with the parallel breaches of the trust of British Columbians. John Twigg doesn’t mention the squalid dishonesty of the Campbell government’s determination to destroy the structure and the public wealth upon which B.C. Hydro is based. Having promised not to privatize B.C. Hydro, Campbell has, instead, set about destroying it. Dividing it into three parts, he has secretly, with covert agreements, given one part to a foreign company (Accenture) that was involved in the Enron debacle. Another part he has made into a shell operation, overtly in the hands of British Columbians but set up to drain the water power of B.C. into the U.S. electricity grid without control or the ability to restrain operation by the British Columbia people. He has undertaken the process of selling, in fact, all the power resources of British Columbia rivers and – in effect – the rivers themselves to private, corporate, often foreign, interests. And he has done so with legislation to gag and silence democratically elected local authorities. He has done all those things by slight-of-hand, by deception, by false description of the operation – in a gigantic breach of the trust placed in him by British Columbians. How could John Twigg have missed that?

And how could he have missed one of the most blatant proofs of Gordon Campbell’s bad faith, of his betrayal of trust – the attempt to erase the early 1950s contract with
Alcan (Kitimat, Kemano) to create only enough water power to make aluminum, selling the little electrical power left over to the B.C. people. Using the Attorney General of B.C., Wally Oppal, in a court case on behalf of Alcan against the people of Kitimat, and trying to make a secret deal with Alcan, Campbell was about to give that foreign corporation complete power over the Nechako River to manufacture water created electrical power. Campbell was about to give Alcan permission to sell electricity from the already structured generating facilities to British Columbians at 1400% profit, and freely to ship power out of B.C. without restraint. He was only stopped by a freak judgement of the usually sell-out B.C. Utilities Commission which ruled the deal Campbell wanted to push through does not serve the interests of the B.C. people.

But the B.C.U.C. – not many months ago – ruled that the sale of Terasen Gas (which Gordon Campbell had wrenched from the legislation ruling that it had to stay in British Columbian hands) was “in the interests of B.C.ers” when it was sold to a Texas billionaire who promptly shared it into the hands of George W. Bush associates and U.S. forces wanting to corner all the energy sources in North America. That “in the interests of British Columbians”? Strangely, John Twigg did not mention that sell-out, part of the pattern which demonstrates the true political depravity of Gordon Campbell and his continental Private Corporate associates.

In the matter of the block set up by the B.C.U.C. to the Gordon Campbell/Alcan attempt to fleece the B.C. people, we may watch “Gordon Campbell’s personal representative at the Vancouver Sun” hard at work. (Vanc. Sun, Jan 17 07 A3) Vaughn Palmer says the decision is “bad news”. He tells us the Campbell/Alcan attempted secret deal “was intended to secure the modernization of the aluminum smelter in Kitimat”. But Alcan can modernize there without a deal that hands them billions of dollars from a new, free-to-sell power contract intended to give Alcan sales at 1400% profit. The two matters – expansion of aluminum production and the outrageous “gift” to Alcan - are not and were not, in fact, contractually connected. Palmer is writing nonsense. Unable (even him) to bring himself to say outright what the scandalous sale price of electricity to British Columbians would be, Palmer calls it merely “an attractive price”. Palmer quotes the people in favour of the outrageous deal saying negative things. He does not report that the Campbell government is deliberately cutting off BC Hydro power generation in order to create a shortage that forces BC Hydro to buy from the newly (Campbell govt.) created private generators. He does not tell us that the Attorney General of B.C., Wally Oppal, is involved in a court case against the people of Kitimat in order to give the Nechako River to Alcan. Palmer tells us Quebec has just given Alcan a much more generous deal than B.C.

But he can’t know that since there is no deal. What is he doing? Is he trying with false information to frighten British Columbians into giving Gordon Campbell what he wants?
Jean Charest, Quebec premier, has given Alcan some incentives to stay and build. But they do not approach the “deal” Campbell was trying, secretly, to give to Alcan. Nor do they approach the “new” contract Campbell wants to give to Alcan, which means, in effect, ownership of the Nechako River. The Vaughn Palmer column on the Alcan fight is not useless; it is worse than useless – misleading, incomplete, incorrect, grossly prejudiced.


Twigg also neglects to report that the famous humanitarianism of Gordon Campbell - convert to the cause of British Columbia’s Native People – is, as we might have known, a sham. It appears to be a deliberate attempt to deceive the B.C. people – especially the Native Peoples of B.C., and to make false “generous” deals with them to receive good land (lifted from the Agricultural Land Reserve) on condition that they give up their Reservation status (which means the land can be bought and sold in the market economy). When that set of shifts has been effected, Campbell can, in effect, deliver Agricultural Land Reserve property to private corporations – and, in the process, strip the Native People of their holdings because, having given up Reservation status and a few other fundamental Native rights, they will have lost their historic defenses and can be stripped not only of their land but of their identity. BC Mary first pointed out the huge scam involved in Gordon Campbell’s “conversion”, and she pointed to the fact that it does not involve only the initialed Tsawwassen treaty but others Campbell has in motion.

Incidentally, in his January 17 column on the subject, Vaughn palmer – one more time – leaves out key information, never mentioning the “deals” require that Indian bands give up key historical protections in such a way as to endanger their whole future. Instead, he writes about the dithering of Carole James on the issue. On matters of real significance to British Columbians, CanWest Media and its lackeys like Vaughn Palmer can be depended upon to knife British Columbians in the back.

The problem of Native Rights and Native Land Claims will disappear if this cynical set of deals goes through because the Native Peoples themselves will disappear into a condition of landless poverty and destitution. Gordon Campbell will have successfully completed his agenda as a “supporter” of the Native peoples of B.C.

If I appear to be attacking John Twigg here, I am not intending to do so. He is a loyal British Columbian who wants the best for the province. But in his astonishment at the endless dirty deals and deceits the Gordon Campbell government is engaged in he seems to see a lot of trees, while, perhaps, missing the forest. The “forest” is, in fact, the basis of all the misdeeds Twigg records – a rooted determination on the part of Gordon Campbell to decimate the structures of ownership held by the B.C. people (and to destroy all humane public services available to them) and to distribute B.C. wealth, virtually unsupervised, to “continental” private corporations who do not possess an ounce of interest in the good of British Columbians. Members of the growing opposition see the forest, see that the design Gordon Campbell has for B.C. is of such depravity it can scarcely be believed and must be fought with eyes wide open. The more people see that depravity – and the sooner - the better it will be for British Columbia.

Kinda off topic but concerning Vaughn Palmer:<br />
<br />
Hello Mr. Palmer, <br />
<br />
I’m writing concerning this story you wrote. I’m interested to know about the plans to create a North American Union, the Security & Prosperity Partnership of North America and the NASCO Corridor. <br />
<br />
From your story: ( <a href="http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=1d7682b2-18be-41a7-a715-7672ff5df8a3&k=64029&p=1">http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=1d7682b2-18be-41a7-a715-7672ff5df8a3&k=64029&p=1</a> )<br />
<br />
Question: "Do the Canadian people know about the North American Union?" Answer: "No."<br />
<br />
Q: "Well don't you think it is about time they did?" No reply.<br />
<br />
Q: "Are you talking about the Amero?" A: "I would tell you if I knew what it was."<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, the interviewer was separated from the premier by what appeared to be a member of the security detail.<br />
<br />
But not before he'd drawn a, for him, obvious conclusion.<br />
<br />
"Campbell certainly knew what I was talking about -- the idea that he has never heard of the Amero is ludicrous -- and the leading politicians of Canada know full well that the North American Union is fast approaching to bring an end to Canadian sovereignty, but they would rather the people don't know until it is a done deal."<br />
<br />
Why are Canadian people being kept in the dark? Don’t you feel it is important to investigate and follow up on this? Are you aware that a secret meeting was held at the Fairmont Springs Hotel in Banff back in September 12-14? It was vaguely reported by the CBC. <br />
<br />
I urge you to write about this issue as it is of great importance and the Canadian people need to know. Will you? <br />
<br />
Thank you kindly,<br />
Chris Harder<br />
<br />
chris:<br />
<br />
thanks for the suggestion.....I don't think the meting is much of a <br />
secret any longer. i've seen several stories on it.<br />
<br />
--vaughn <br />
<br />
I replied: So are you choosing to write about it or helping the NWO by keeping people ignorant?<br />
<br />
I replied again: Oh, and it's not the secret meeting I was asking you to write about. It was the bigger picture, the SPP issue that affects all Canadians. Hey, if you're too busy, well, I won't bother you.<br />
<br />
chris:<br />
<br />
I haven't written about the meeting in Banff because I am not aware of <br />
any connection to B.C. politics, which is the focus of the column that <br />
I write for the paper. But if I do discover that someone from the <br />
provincial government attended, I may talk to them.<br />
<br />
Vaughn Palmer<br />
Vancouver Sun Victoria Columnist<br />
[email protected]<br />
<br />
I countered with: MP Stockwell Day was in attendance. Rather than a link would you prefer I sent you the entire article? He's listed.<br />
<br />
chris:<br />
<br />
federal cabinet minister....I mostly write about provincial politics. <br />
and I am checking whether any provincial ministers attended.<br />
<br />
Vaughn Palmer<br />
<br />
I wrapped with: Is there someone you could suggest to me who can help if you're not able to? I appreciate your efforts.<br />
<br />
chris:<br />
<br />
after checking, I've been unable to find anyone from the provincial <br />
government who attended this event.<br />
<br />
if you want to take it up with one of my colleagues who covers federal <br />
politics, you could try Barbara Yaffe ([email protected]) or Peter <br />
O'Neil ([email protected]).<br />
<br />
--vaughn <br />
<br />
There you have the evidence, folks.

"There was nothing to stop Palmer from taking it up and telling his readers the implications of Walls’ conviction. But if a person thinks Palmer would have wanted to do so, that person has a very different view of B.C. affairs than I have."

I have to wonder (out loud) about how some of these people calling themselves 'journalists' get off with that moniker. In my mind, 'Journalist' is someone who goes out and finds stories of interest to thier readership/viewership.

What I see everywhere are 'reporters'. They wait for stuff to happen, then tell us (or not) about it. From Chris's comments above, this guy sounds like a 'reporter'. He was handed a story, perhaps exclusive and as ground breaking as AdScam, and he dismisses it because he's never heard about it.

Heard about it from whom? Some other reporter? The people who direct what should and should not be news?

Why don't they want to go out, get their shoes dirty, and FIND stories? 'Investigate'. It's in the dictionary, look it up.

Bob Woodward. Carl Bernstein. Look those name up too, Mr. Palmer. Your name could have been synonymous with those two, but you blew it.

If you go to the cable channel that carries the sittings of the BC legislature, you will find the following:

That one line tells you everything you need to know concerning the state of representative democracy in BC.

The way I see it is best described as an awareness perhaps morphing to learning curve, a continuum of sorts that provides points alone it for the various levels of awareness and learning, a timeline.

Those who challenge what I present on this topic, or those who contribute their body of knowledge are at their particular level of knowledge, and although this description should most likely be realised by all concerned, it is not for those only becoming aware ad I suppose I should have more patience wit those of lesser knowledge, and generally do when questions are asked rather than confrontational assertions are put forth.

I know of only one flesh and blood man with the knowledge to even beging to claim what is rightly everyman’s right to claim.
That claiming is a procedure and must be done so as it *can* be claimed.
The flesh and blood person of whom I speak has divested himself of state control over most of the aspects of his life and is not only farther along the continuum or time line of which I speak than any known man in Canada.

And for what ever reason has taken me into his confidence where as all others have been shunned and when ever I can get my physical body to be in his company I have been advised to bring twenty of more blank CDs and several micro-cassettes so what he has may be passed on to me.
So far there are none here interested enough to ask me or show me they have what it takes to receive the gift of this knowledge.

This thread, “Criminal Government in B.C.” with thanks to Robin, and to a far lesser degree, BCMary only points to what needs to be addressed, the effort to seek what it will take to bring about the change some of the contributors long for falls to them to advance in the manner that achieves the result they want.

You can't just blame the media and big business. The people of BC are to blame, too.

The media did (I'm sure facing huge backlash from their handlers) broadcast that criminal's mugshot all over the tv news, driving drunk in Hawaii.

Yet we voted him back in anyway.

He wins by splitting the Left into Green and NDP. We need to pick a horse to unseat the Prince of Drunkness, or the Right will rule BC for the next 20 years.

Right on Robin! This is one of your more hard-hitting pieces and a welcome relief to all the continuous mind-control (damage-control?) drivel that the Zionist-owned and controlled media are spoon feeding the B.C. electorate.

If I had it in my power to do I would organize a province-wide campaign to raise you up to the level of Leader of the New Democratic Party of B.C. No one that I know of possesses the knowledge, the integrity, the honesty, the fortitude (and, most of all, the BALLS!) to tackle and expose these lowlife lizzy corporate maurauders now in possession of the people's purse, their signing authority for sovereignty and their future!

I believe that even beyond Glen Clark, you could galvanize the dispossessed and the wavering multitude and breath new life into this tired and emasculated party of worn-out socialists, insurgent zionists, and middle of the road malcontents.

Thanks again for an incisive work.

As the topic is Criminal Government in BC the following is an appropriate definition about criminality within government.

Drafted by lawyers

Construction of Statutes
2nd. Edition. 1983. E. A. Driedger

“There are different reasons for having definitions. In some cases it is intended to subtract from or add to the normal meaning; in some cases it is intended that a word or expression should have a secondary rather than its primary meaning.”

twist about, backtracking convolutions sounding so legitimate when in reality are and should be called BULLSHIT!

And yet it I were to utter certain words there would be a hue and cry.
Can anybody see that the Drafters of statutes use a definition they created for the sole purpose of subtracting from or adding to the normal meaning?
Hidden in plain view!
And few are eureka-ing with the gestalt of insight.

Resignation of the citizenry is all but complete with the majority in compliance with a system that controls their every move to the point of slavery. Whatever free though surfaces there are more than enough members of the system designed to enslave the whole who will gleefully undermine any thoughts of freedom.
You will find the slave mentality active on sites like Vive le Canada and any site where principle contributors speak out for justice, liberty and fraternity. Those of the ‘enslave-me’ mentality will argue against any thought, much less call to action to break the bonds of mind control enslavement.
We have, on this continent, collaborators for the state. These collaborators hold the exact same mentality as did their cousins I am aware of from the Second World War, and are no less dangerous to those of us who resist.
I could call them by the names they go by on these pages but fined it un-necessary to do so because they are obvious by their rebuttals.
BCMary is a part of the resistance and in her own way is a fighter for what she believes in for a society to be. That BCM and I have a ‘history’ is tertiary to the greater interest we share in how government and their agents are to work.
Back in WWII collaborators were marked.
I have no problem with marking the collaborator of to-day

Collaborators and colluders have a nasty connotation to them and I do not use those descriptions lightly. In my evaluation, the deeds preformed by either of those descriptions are in service of suppressing the freedom of others and are every much as a threat to society.
Detractors serve to pull society down to a level of thought similar to their own and are also detrimental to the overall wellbeing

Every liberation movement (the American revolutionary war of the 1770s, the French revolutionary war of the 1790s, the Chinese Communist revolution of the 1930s and 1940s, the Cuban revolution of the 1950s and the Vietnam war of the 1960-70s) has spawned collaborators and informers. If one reads history, Fate has never been kind to such nasty deviants who, for convoluted reasons, consorted with the enemies of their clan/tribe/ethnic group/religion, nor should it be!

I can not say who is more despicable to me, collaborators or the apathetic as they both serve the same masters and in reality are treasonous and should be dealt with as such.
