The Law Supports Whom Again?

Oh, right: the wealthy.

Jason Kenny says it outright: the [Wet'suwet'en supporters'] barricades are scaring away investment ...

It's a given. Everyone knows it. So why in the world would anyone imagine that our politicians would ever put first the interests of anyone other than the entities with the financial power to make or break them personally?

Trudeau tells the Wet'suwet'en leaders basically: We've given you time to change your minds; you haven't; so now we're flat-out telling you to get out of the way.

There never was a choice; there never are solutions to the problems of Canada's first peoples because the entities with an interest in exploiting the lands they're on want to appear supportive while doing everything in their power to covertly degrade them.

Canada's leadership might ask nicely, at first, to show how humane they are, but if they get a "no", then it's no more mister nice-guy. The land is for exploitation and profit; not for the protection of those who merely wish to live peacefully on it and from it, in harmony with Nature and their own historical teachings.

I personally suspect that the reason the disappearances of so many native women has not been discovered is because it's already known: fewer women, fewer children, smaller population to have to keep under the thumb.

TheTyee: RCMP Handling of Wet’suwet’en Protests Mirrors Complaints in New Brunswick

• Almost 12 months after receiving [New Brunswick] report from complaints commission, RCMP still hasn’t responded.

Does this sound like the RCMP calling the shots instead of a government-appointed complaints commission?  It sure does to me. Who or what has given them the power to no longer "serve" and "protect" under the authority of an elected government?

Meanwhile ...

• RCMP have been accused of over-policing the area while cases into murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls remain unsolved. Those opposed to the pipeline have also pointed to last year’s final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, which connects resource extraction projects to an increase in violence against women.
• Coastal GasLink is building a work camp to house up to 400 people in the area. Transient workers housed in “man camps” are a major concern, according to the missing women’s report, as high-paying, high-stress jobs contribute to an increase in drug and alcohol abuse, sexual assaults and domestic violence.
• At a news conference in Vancouver this morning, Delee Nikal, a Wet’suwet’en nation member from the Gidimt’en clan, named a half dozen close female friends and family members who have gone missing throughout her lifetime. She said it’s just one of the ways RCMP have let the Wet’suwet’en people down.
• “There are no answers for the reasons they went missing. There are no perpetrators that have been found. Yet we can see militarized forces out on our territories, keeping us from our own land, from land that our ancestors took care of,” Nikal said.

Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

From the preamble:

• Experts and Knowledge Keepers spoke to specific colonial and patriarchal policies that displaced women from their traditional roles in communities and governance and diminished their status in society, leaving them vulnerable to violence.

As far as I'm concerned, Justin Trudeau can grow all the beards he likes to hide his "Calendar Boy" image, but his lack of a spine and perhaps even a soul is becoming all too obvious.

Interestingly, the First World War established what a national icon can actually be at his core:

From History.com:

• Paul Von Hindenburg (1847-1934) A national hero for his early victories, Hindenburg later drew the United States into battle with his use of submarine warfare. After retiring again in 1919, he became president of the Weimar Republic in 1925, and died shortly after naming Adolf Hitler the German chancellor.

I've just finished reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise" in which, towards the end, there is a chilling statement from the young protagonist, Amory, whose time at university is coming to a close, as had also WW1.

The scene takes place in February and the weather in Princeton, New Jersey, is the same as the February I see outside my window now, (still watching for "climate change") though F. Scott wrote the book in 1920 and was himself quite familiar with New Jersey weather.

In the section titled: "The End of Many Things", Amory talks about the superman phenomenon and what it entails:

• "He's absolutely irreconcilable with any Utopia.  As long as he occurs, there's trouble and all the latent evil that make a crowd list and sway when he talks" ... "he is a gifted man without a moral sense."
• "I think the worst thing to contemplate is this - it's all happened before, how soon will it happen again? Fifty years after Waterloo Napoleon was as much a hero to English school children as Wellington.  How do we know our grandchildren won't idolize Von Hindenburg the same way?"
• "What brings it about?"
• "Time, damn it, and the historian. If we could only learn to look on evil as evil, whether it's clothed in filth or monotony or magnificence."

Heads of nations have united against something they have chosen to call "climate change" because it is the least specific term upon which they could all agree. In the interests of covert control of whole populations by overtly "protecting" them from the effects of "climate change" while concentrating the power of wealth into the hands of a select few, they are willing to chemically destroy both land and sea and the denizens therein.

Perhaps they already have tickets to Mars?
