IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S A ... “UAV”?!?! … by Iakoha’ko:wa

MNN. May 4, 2008. The Ottawa Citizens reported on January 22, 2008, that "The Canadian military has earmarked $220 million to build a new base for the Joint Task Force 2 counter-terrorism unit, with plans calling for the secretive formation to move out of Ottawa sometime after 2010.... Hillier recommended that JTF2's new base be located at Canadian Forces Base Trenton." [[From "Counter-terrorism unit..." by David Pugliese]

Just when we thought that the human race has finally advanced to a point where everyone realized that the military solution was no solution at all. Now Rick Hillier has rescued “war games” from the dust bin. Canadian taxpayers are now forced to neglect repairs to roads, sewage systems and infrastructures of hospitals and schools, cut down education and all the legitimate concerns of the people. How juvenile this is? These little boys want to keep playing video games. There’s no “restart game” button to restore the lives that were lost or the environment that was polluted by their delusions that problems can be solved if you shoot ‘em up and blast ‘em to kingdom come.

With all the absurd but potentially lethal commotion at the Mohawk community of Tyendinaga lately, 20 minutes from Trenton CFB, we have to wonder if there may be some connection to this military game playing. Why do they want to waste so much of taxpayers’ money for those SWAT-OPP gangs to go into Tyendinaga to harass, beat and arrest people for no good reason?.

Defence Construction Canada is the Crown corporation that builds new military bases. It answers to Michael Fortier, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services. He’s NOT an elected Member of Parliament, though he’s run for office. He has a background in investment banking and worked for Ogilvy Renault, a law firm with offices in Montreal. It’s obviously a money-making scheme for someone and it’s being sold though an appeal to adolescent adrenaline.

The Deputy Minister is Francois Guimont, also an appointed career bureaucrat. The DM "provides the overall vision and direction for the department, and oversees 12,000 employees..." According to the Ottawa Citizens these guys provide the “overall vision”. In other words, forget about democracy. Canadians are not war-like. this is a bill of goods that’s being stuffed down people’s throat. This is not a product of public discussion. We have not hear of Canadians calling for a greater use of arms. Guimont worked in the Privy Council Office and the Ministry of the Environment. [He's a "bottom feeder"!]

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) deals with one client only, the Department of National Defense (DND). Scott Stevenson is the ADM/IE (Assistant Deputy Minister/Infrastructure & Environment). He oversees all the details of everything for the military! He’s a military man, a graduate of Queens University and an economist. This “mega gamester” has made it into the big league. He’s living every megalomaniac school boy’s dream.

Rem Westland, another “gamster” held the position of ADM/IE in 1998-99 while he was Director General of Realty Policy and Plans from 1997-2003 at DND. It wouldn’t surprise us if he worked with Stevenson.

Westland has a cottage on Sharbot Lake, 40 minutes north of Kingston. In an exclusive interview with MNN he admitted that Sharbot Lake is Haudenosaunee land. But why is he keeping quiet while a phony Algonquin land claim plays itself out? Westland’s background puts him in a strategic position for whatever military plans are underway to develop the area.

Just this week, we heard on the news how manufacturing jobs in Ontario are down from 80,000 in 2001 to 60,000 in 2007. GM has just laid off 1000 skilled workers at its Oshawa plant, the other side of Trenton. Will the GM workers end up building the new training base that DCC will oversee quite likely at Trenton? Someone’s got to have the answer.

Pugliese stated, "Public Works and Government Services Canada has already purchased three properties [about 130 hectares] adjacent to CFB Trenton for the Defense Department... Another 270 hectares are also being looked at for purchase."

What kind of training will go on at this new base? The military has so many new lethal toys to test. It could involve nuclear submarines and ships in Lake Ontario or planes overhead. Trenton has a big airport. With so much buzz in the military news these days about UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles), we wonder if that has something to do with it.

People should know about those little UAV's, what they look like and what they can do. You never know when you might see one and wonder what it is.

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

UAV's are a growing part of 21st century warfare. They are mostly used in surveillance roles but also can be equipped to attack targets by remote control, sometimes at great distance. They are widely used by the occupation forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Imaginative names are given to UAV's like “Raven”, “Hawk” and “Warrior”. The smallest UAV's can be put into a back pack and assembled on the ground by one person. They look like toy planes. Some UAV's can stay in the air for days and travel at speeds up to 200km/hr. Depending on how they are powered, they can be very quiet. The Canadian military uses the Skylark I, a small UAV made by Elbit, an Israeli company and sold to DND by Thales Systems Canada which has offices in Ottawa and Kingston.

The Skylark was designed to spy on the Palestinians. It can "look over the hill" and "around the corner" and record images day or night. It is durable in all weather conditions. Elbit's larger Hermes UAV can shoot and drop bombs.

According to the Elbit web site, "Skylark I can be used for both defense and homeland security applications including perimeter security, border and coastal surveillance, anti-terrorism surveillance and a variety of “law enforcement” “missions" like attacking Indigenous communities. Like hey! You wouldn’t want these guys to be deprived of fun just because was no legitimate targets, would you?

A device called a "ShotSpotter" can be mounted on a UAV in order to detect exactly where a shot has been fired from. It requires sensors that are placed on rooftops or street poles. It's used by various US Police Departments like Rochester, NY in Haudenosaunee Territory and Minneapolis, MN in Lakota Territory.

Could they be trying out the UAV's on the Mohawks at Tyendinaga? It doesn't sound like their toys work on those who keep pulling disappearing acts. Maybe their “peeping tom” toys don’t work on the socially “invisible” Indigenous? Since the colonists don’t want peaceful solutions, these guys think this is just another “technological challenge” to ‘git’ us!

This must be a joke. First they spent billions of dollars trying to kill us off, to make us invisible, deleting us from their history books and refusing us a fair say. Now they’re spending billions trying to build a technology of infra red heat seeking missiles and high tech gadgets to find those of us who survived their genocide. Don’t these idiots know we’re human beings? Nothing justifies treating us like targets.
