Today on The Current:
The arrest of Julian Assange Thursday starts a new chapter in the saga of the Wikileak's founder. We ask how the world should view him and what will be his legacy: as a whistleblower, a free-speech fighter, or a traitor?
Students in New Brunswick have been learning about Chinese language, food and culture in weekly half-hour classes paid for by the Confucius Institute. What they're not taught is anything remotely controversial, such as China's record on human rights violations. Are the classes a lesson in soft power and propaganda?

Just shows how easily the left will turn on, and throw anyone under the bus if it suits their needs. Desperate people are dangerous people.

You just cannot make this stuff up !
Unless, of course, you are Donald J. Trump.

Chelsea and Assange are persecuted by the law for exposing serious war crimes while the war criminals roam free. Something is seriously wrong with us as a society if we see nothing wrong with this.
Mark Irvine
So in the Liberals world, he was okay until he started exposing them.

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange is seen in a police van after he was arrested by British police in London on Thursday. (Henry Nicholls/Reuters)
To some, he was a truth seeker bent on exposing government misdeeds. To others, he was a high-tech menace who helped Russian hackers deliver the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump.
But Julian Assange hasn't necessarily changed, his critics say, even if perceptions of the WikiLeaks co-founder have.
After evidently overstaying his welcome as an asylum-seeker at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Assange now faces extradition to the U.S. and the possibility of up to five years in an American prison. A British judge on Thursday found the 47-year-old Australian computer programmer guilty of jumping bail in the U.K., after Ecuador revoked his asylum status and opened the doors to London police for his arrest.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia has charged Assange with "conspiracy to commit computer intrusion" related to the leaking of hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables in 2010.
Heavily bearded and pale as he was hauled out of the Ecuadorian embassy by officers, Assange reportedly shouted, "The U.K. must resist."

How the liberal tide turned against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks
Assange 'proselytized about radical transparency' but some critics
call him a 'pawn'
Matt Kwong · CBC News · Posted: Apr 11, 2019 11:36 PM ET
"Assange has a loyal defender in Swedish journalist Al Burke, who has
spoken with Assange and visited him in London a few years ago. Burke
suspects media outlets and the Central Intelligence Agency will seek
to further tarnish the WikiLeaks founder.
"I think he will be besmirched. He will be regarded as various
negative things. Like a pawn, a rapist, and so on and so forth. I
don't think he'll get a fair shake."
Burke called the rape accusations against Assange "manufactured" and
believes Ecuador's decision to revoke the WikiLeaks founder's asylum
was motivated by a desire to distract from corruption allegations
faced by the Ecuadorian president.
"A little part of me found almost relief because he's now going to get
some fresh air and some sunlight," Burke said of Assange's arrest and
eviction from the embassy.
"In terms of his physical condition, it's clearly an improvement for
him. But in many other ways, it's a disaster."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in London to face hacking
conspiracy charge in the US
Sean Rossman, Doug Stanglin and Bart Jansen, USATNetwork Published
5:50 a.m. ET April 11, 2019
'Barry Pollack, a U.S. lawyer for Assange, criticized the arrest and
said Assange would need medical treatment that had been denied for
seven years.
"It is bitterly disappointing that a country would allow someone to
whom it has extended citizenship and asylum to be arrested in its
embassy," Pollack said." Once his health care needs have been
addressed, the UK courts will need to resolve what appears to be an
unprecedented effort by the United States seeking to extradite a
foreign journalist to face criminal charges for publishing truthful
information."

Theresa May has given a statement about Assange. Speaking to the
Commons before updating MPs on the Brexit delay, she said:
I am sure that the whole house will welcome the news this morning
that the Metropolitan Police have arrested Julian Assange – arrested
for breach of bail after nearly seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy.
He has also been arrested in relation to an extradition request from
the United States’ authorities. This is now a legal matter before the
courts. The home secretary will make a statement on this later, but I
would like to thank the Metropolitan Police for carrying out their
duties with great professionalism and to welcome the cooperation of
the Ecuadorian government in bringing this matter to a resolution.
This goes to show that, in the United Kingdom, no one is above the
law.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, April 11, 2019
WikiLeaks Founder Charged in Computer Hacking Conspiracy
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Julian P. Assange, 47, the founder of WikiLeaks, was
arrested today in the United Kingdom pursuant to the U.S./UK
Extradition Treaty, in connection with a federal charge of conspiracy
to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break a password to a
classified U.S. government computer.
According to court documents unsealed today, the charge relates to
Assange’s alleged role in one of the largest compromises of classified
information in the history of the United States.
The indictment alleges that in March 2010, Assange engaged in a
conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, a former intelligence analyst in the
U.S. Army, to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on U.S.
Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet
Protocol Network (SIPRNet), a U.S. government network used for
classified documents and communications. Manning, who had access to
the computers in connection with her duties as an intelligence
analyst, was using the computers to download classified records to
transmit to WikiLeaks. Cracking the password would have allowed
Manning to log on to the computers under a username that did not
belong to her. Such a deceptive measure would have made it more
difficult for investigators to determine the source of the illegal
disclosures.
During the conspiracy, Manning and Assange engaged in real-time
discussions regarding Manning’s transmission of classified records to
Assange. The discussions also reflect Assange actively encouraging
Manning to provide more information. During an exchange, Manning told
Assange that “after this upload, that’s all I really have got left.”
To which Assange replied, “curious eyes never run dry in my
experience.”
Assange is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and is
presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in
prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than
the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine
any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
and other statutory factors.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of
Virginia, John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National
Security, and Nancy McNamara, Assistant Director in Charge of the
FBI’s Washington Field Office, made the announcement after the charges
were unsealed. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Doherty-McCormick,
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kellen S. Dwyer, Thomas W. Traxler and Gordon
D. Kromberg, and Trial Attorneys Matthew R. Walczewski and Nicholas O.
Hunter of the Justice Department’s National Security Division are
prosecuting the case.
The extradition will be handled by the Department of Justice’s Office
of International Affairs.
A copy of this press release is located on the website of the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. Related court
documents and information are located on the website of the District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or on PACER by searching
for Case No. 1:18-cr-111.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a
crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless
proven guilty in court.

David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Court File No. T-1557-15
FEDERAL COURT
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should
have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015
particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta
because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging
about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a
250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells
revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed
was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious
why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual
harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who
claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department
of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in
Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major
parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it
well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against
the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two
weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service
threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false
allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an
American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that
what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the
recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes.
The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today.
In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about
something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’
bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in
the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble
opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so
naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry
Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke
his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If
Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by
impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the
Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should
have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents
released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian
involvement in the War on Iraq.
83. The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war
in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to
allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over
five years after he began his bragging:

Why Canada Stood Tall!

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Search for Boston mobster victims heads to Nova Scotia
By The Associated Press
Posted Jan 15, 2001 at 12:01 AM
YARMOUTH, Nova Scotia -- Massachusetts state police will travel to
southwestern Nova Scotia Wednesday to examine a site where Boston
mobsters may have buried their victims. Elizabeth Conrad Parent, 43,
whose father Kenneth “Bobby” Conrad has been missing since 1979,
believes he was killed by an associate of South Boston gangster James
“Whitey” Bulger and buried in Canada -- alongside other victims of
Bulger’s group.
Last month, Parent recounted to the Boston Herald that former FBI
agent John J. Connolly Jr. told her almost 20 years ago that her
father was stabbed by Bulger associate Louis R. Litif, and buried in
Nova Scotia. Parent believes her father disappeared after witnessing a
Mafia killing in the basement of a Boston bar.
The Halifax Daily News reported yesterday that four officers will fly
to Yarmouth to discuss with local Royal Canadian Mounted Police a
small parcel of land in rural Deerfield, Nova Scotia. According to
land registry reports, Litif -- who was murdered in Boston in April
1980 -- purchased a house and land in Deerfield in 1971. His widow is
still an absentee landlord of the property.
Sgt. Brian Oldford, a spokesman for the RCMP, said any potential
murder investigation would be handled locally. “We would rely heavily
on (Massachusetts police) for intelligence, but the actual homicide,
as I understand it from reading the newspaper, took place on Canadian
soil and the body’s on Canadian soil,” he said.
Oldford expects the Massachusetts investigators will be in Nova Scotia
for only one day. “It’ll just be a matter of them telling us what they
know and then getting them back on the plane,” he said.
Parent said Connolly told her in a 1983 telephone conversation “a lot
of bodies” were buried at the site.
Bulger, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, was recently
indicted on new charges alleging he was involved in 18 murders.

Could mobster arrest shed light on rumour?

THE VANGUARD
NovaNewsNow.com
The arrest of notorious mobster James “Whitey” Bulger in Santa Monica,
California, on Wednesday, June 22, has piqued the interest of the RCMP
in Yarmouth who wonder if Bulger’s arrest may eventually shed new
light on a rumoured mob graveyard here.
After being on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List and on the lam for around
16 years, the 81-year-old mob king-pin was arrested without incident
after the FBI launched some daytime television ads two days before
seeking the whereabouts of Bulger's girlfriend, Catherine Greig, with
a $100,000 reward offered. There was a $2 million reward for Bulger's
capture.
Corporal Dana Parsons, of the RCMP’s Southwest Major Crime Unit based
in Yarmouth, had not yet heard about Bulger’s arrest when contacted
Thursday morning by the Vanguard. He admitted the arrest is intriguing
in terms of the information it could yield when Bulger is questioned
by American authorities.
Bulger was wanted on charges of racketeering, 19 counts of murder,
conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering, extortion and drug
distribution.
But in these parts his name is of interest given rumours of a mob
graveyard in Yarmouth County.
In 2001, an extensive dig was held at a property located at the corner
of the Saunders Road and Mood Road. For 20 days the RCMP had the
permission to dig a 1.2-acre site where a bartender from Boston was
rumoured to be buried.
The property was turned upside-down and inside-out, and there was even
digging done in the basement of a residence on the scene, but no human
remains were found.
Cpl. Parsons notes that this was not a missing persons file in Nova
Scotia, rather it was a missing persons file originating in the United
States. Therefore it is still up to American authorities to lead any
investigation or inquiries. But this isn’t to say, he says, that if
new substantiated information comes forward that the police here
wouldn’t get involved again.
“It should be their follow-up as far as the interview of Bulger and if
he discloses that a murder occurred up here, than we would become
involved again,” Parsons says.
The man whose remains the RCMP were searching for when they carried
out the dig in October 2001 was South Boston bartender Kenneth Bobby
Conrad, who disappeared in 1979 after allegedly witnessing a mob hit.
The man’s daughter claimed that two years after her father vanished,
an FBI agent by the name of John Connelly had told her that her father
had been lured to Yarmouth County by a mob associate and murdered.
At the time of Conrad’s disappearance, the property was owned by Louis
R. Litif, who was an associate of Bulger. Conrad’s daughter said she
had been told that Litif had killed her father and buried his body at
the property. She said she was told other bodies were buried there as
well.
Getting information from Litif years later was a dead end. In 1980 he
was killed in a gangland slaying in Boston. In 2001 his widow had
given police the permission to dig up the property. She had taken over
part ownership of the property a month before Litif was killed.
(An interesting footnote in this story is Whitey Bulger used to be an
informant for the FBI. But when it was decided in 1994 he had to be
arrested for his crimes, it was FBI agent John Connelly who had tipped
Bulger off, allowing him to escape and remain on the lam for 16 years.
Connelly is serving time for obstruction of justice.)
When the news surfaced in 2000 about a possible mob graveyard in
Yarmouth County – which led to the dig a year later – local residents
of the area said they had heard rumours about alleged mob connections
to the property in the past. So while the news was shocking, it wasn’t
necessarily surprising.
The RCMP dig was not a simple matter of the police going onto the
property with shovels. An infrared device was used to detect
variations or disturbances in the ground. A gas-powered machine with a
spike drum was used to unlock scents beneath the ground for police
dogs. An excavator was brought onto the scene. Even the Yarmouth
County Ground Search and Rescue Team conducted a hands-and-knees
search through wooded areas of the property that had not been dug up
by the excavator.
But in the end, the RCMP could only dig and search the area for which
they had permission. After a week they concluded the dig.
“It’s never been laid to rest because there has never been a resolve
to the disappearance of that body,” says Cpl. Parsons.
On the one hand, there was no body found on the property, so was it
just a rumour and therefore a waste of money and effort? Or on the
other hand, did the dig not go far enough?
Cpl. Parsons says while the RCMP here won’t be looking to lead any new
investigation into the matter, because the file originates in the
United States, he said he may contact U.S. authorities just to touch
base with them and remind them of the assistance the police here
provided in the past.
“We don’t have an open file on a missing persons, our file was an
assistance file to them to see if there was a body up here on that
property in Deerfield,” he says. “Ultimately it’s their lead and what
we would do is follow-up on anything they gave us.”
Yet while Cpl. Parsons stresses the onus would be on the American
authorities, he says ultimately in investigations of missing persons
everyone is seeking the same goal – to bring these investigations to a
successful conclusion and hopefully bring about closure for a family.
And perhaps, in this case, to also put rumours to the test, or put them to rest.
New details emerge about radio host's 1st Puerto Rico court appearance
Trevor Doyle was detained pending trial because he was deemed a 'risk
of flight and danger to the community'

Court documents obtained by CBC News show new details of Trevor
Doyle's detention hearing on Monday in Puerto Rico.
The Fredericton radio host charged with sexual enticement of a minor
was detained pending a trial "on the basis of risk of flight and
danger to the community," said the minutes filed by the court
reporter.
According to the minutes, Doyle's defence attorney, Jesus Hernandez,
did not request conditions of release or a bail hearing but reserved
his right to reopen the detention hearing at a later date.

Doyle is a longtime host for Capital FM in Fredericton.
On Monday, he also filed a waiver of a preliminary hearing, which
means his case will go directly to trial. This does not mean an
immediate trial, however, and Doyle still has not entered a plea.
"The court approved the waiver and found probable cause as to the
charge contained in the criminal complaint," the minutes said.

his right to a preliminary hearing. (United States District Court)
The detention hearing lasted 15 minutes Monday.
Doyle was arrested on April 3 after an FBI sting operation involving
an agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. Doyle allegedly messaged the
agent on two separate apps for several days, ultimately arranging a
meeting at Pine Grove Beach in Isla Verde for oral sex.
The prosecution alleges Doyle believed he was communicating with a
13-year-old girl because the agent brought up her age multiple times.
Evidence submitted by the FBI allege he brought up her age once.
Medical conditions
As soon as he was arrested, the detention centre was advised that
Doyle suffers from anxiety, depression and high blood pressure.
Court documents posted Tuesday but signed on April 3 advised the
Metropolitan Detention Centre in Guaynabo, about 16 kilometres south
of San Juan, that Doyle "is being or has been treated and/or suffers
from" the ailments.

job as host of the morning show.

How the liberal tide turned against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks
Assange 'proselytized about radical transparency' but some critics call him a 'pawn'
To some, he was a truth seeker bent on exposing government misdeeds. To others, he was a high-tech menace who helped Russian hackers deliver the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump.
But Julian Assange hasn't necessarily changed, his critics say, even if perceptions of the WikiLeaks co-founder have.
After evidently overstaying his welcome as an asylum-seeker at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Assange now faces extradition to the U.S. and the possibility of up to five years in an American prison. A British judge on Thursday found the 47-year-old Australian computer programmer guilty of jumping bail in the U.K., after Ecuador revoked his asylum status and opened the doors to London police for his arrest.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia has charged Assange with "conspiracy to commit computer intrusion" related to the leaking of hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables in 2010.
Heavily bearded and pale as he was hauled out of the Ecuadorian embassy by officers, Assange reportedly shouted, "The U.K. must resist."
CBC News
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested
Video posted online by Ruptly, part of Russia Today, showed at least eight men forcibly escorting Julian Assange out of Ecuador's embassy in London. 0:34
But even before he emerged into the London daylight, observers say, Assange's once-polished image as an independent champion for transparency had already lost much of its lustre.
If there was an inflection point, it was around Assange's role in leaking Democratic National Committee emails in July 2016, said Lisa Lynch, who has studied WikiLeaks as an associate professor of media communications at Drew University in New Jersey.
"What happened in 2016 broke a lot people's hearts."

Assange looks out from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, May 19, 2017. (Matt Dunham, File/Associated Press)Assange "proselytized about radical transparency," she said, only to be used by other forces for their own interests — like Russian hackers seeking to meddle in a U.S. election.
According to an indictment by the U.S. special counsel last summer, Russian government hackers stole tens of thousands of emails from the campaign of Trump's presidential Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton before passing them on to WikiLeaks for publication.
Trump made it clear he was game.
"I love WikiLeaks," he proclaimed during a campaign in which he would go on to cite the website more than 160 times.
In 2017, Assange denied to Fox News host Sean Hannity that the hacked documents came from the Russian government. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team found differently, moving in 2018 to indict 12 Russian intelligence officers over the DNC and Clinton campaign hacking.
"I find Assange to have been a pawn in a lot of games," she said. "I think of him more as a tragic figure."
WikiLeaks made its splash in 2010 with the release of "Collateral Murder," leaked footage showing a 2007 Baghdad airstrike that showed the purportedly "indiscriminate" killings that left a dozen people dead, including two Reuters journalists.
Recognizing the value in such leaks, investigative journalists with publications such as the Guardian and the New York Times partnered with WikiLeaks in 2010 to publish hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables, some of which were classified and redacted by publications to preserve sensitive intelligence information. The incident became known as CableGate.
Nearly a decade since Collateral Murder, the libertarian and liberal progressive embrace of Assange has softened, Lynch said.
"Right now, yes — we all think of Assange very differently."
WikiLeaks did not prove to be the engine of democratic change that liberal idealists had hoped for, she said. And then came the 2016 election.
![]()
Supporters of Assange hold placards as they stand outside Ecuador's embassy in London last week. (Simon Dawson/Reuters)Craig Unger, author of House of Trump, House of Putin, said unlike the leaks of the Baghdad tape or the CableGate affair, which exposed potential war crimes and gave insights into how the State Department conducts global diplomacy, the DNC emails stolen by Russian hackers and posted by WikiLeaks served one purpose.
"This was designed to elect Donald Trump," he asserted.
Assange's relationships with notable journalists have also deteriorated, reportedly owing in part to what former collaborators described as a combative style and paranoia. The Guardian broke off its partnership with him in 2010, reportedly after he threatened legal action over the publication of a batch of documents the newspaper had obtained outside of WikiLeaks.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, who had previously won the trust of National Security Administration whistleblower Edward Snowden and interviewed him for the film CitizenFour, soon soured on Assange during the filming of her Assange-focused documentary, Risk. One scene captures Assange brushing off the allegations of two Swedish women who accused him in 2010 of sexual assault, calling them lesbians who he believes are involved in a "radical feminist conspiracy." The charges were later dropped.
Assange was "already in a sinkhole" over reports he had alienated people in newsrooms with an overbearing style," said David Szakonyi, a Russia specialist and professor at George Washington University.
"Then you add in the rape accusations."
Among liberals, support for Assange has plummeted since he first came to the world's attention as "a combination of investigative journalist, plus freedom fighter, plus transparency advocate," he said.
Today, Szakonyi sees Assange as a gear in the Russia propaganda machine who has fashioned himself into a "destructive conduit for information that maybe shouldn't have been out in the public sphere." He questions the civic value behind publishing the stolen DNC emails, which showed the party leadership's bias toward Clinton for the Democratic nomination over her then-rival Bernie Sanders.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is shown on Nov. 2, 2011 outside the High Court in London. (Andy Rain/EPA)That makes it difficult to predict how Assange will be viewed through the long lens of time, says Brian Palmer, a social anthropologist whose research focuses on whistleblowers.
Palmer, a Sanders supporter in 2016, looks back on 2010 as an era in which WikiLeaks "was courageous, heroic and very skilful" in how they released data.
"They were creating a new way of doing journalism, or assisting journalism by making it easier for people who witnessed terrible crimes to alert the world about them," he said.
While he admires Assange for "contributions of enormous value," he said the hacktivist's possible contribution to Trump's victory in 2016 "is regarded with a lot of disgust."
Assange has a loyal defender in Swedish journalist Al Burke, who has spoken with Assange and visited him in London a few years ago. Burke suspects media outlets and the Central Intelligence Agency will seek to further tarnish the WikiLeaks founder.
"I think he will be besmirched. He will be regarded as various negative things. Like a pawn, a rapist, and so on and so forth. I don't think he'll get a fair shake."
Burke called the rape accusations against Assange "manufactured" and believes Ecuador's decision to revoke the WikiLeaks founder's asylum was motivated by a desire to distract from corruption allegations faced by the Ecuadorian president.
"A little part of me found almost relief because he's now going to get some fresh air and some sunlight," Burke said of Assange's arrest and eviction from the embassy.
"In terms of his physical condition, it's clearly an improvement for him. But in many other ways, it's a disaster."
If there was an inflection point, it was around Assange's role in leaking Democratic National Committee emails in July 2016, said Lisa Lynch, who has studied WikiLeaks as an associate professor of media communications at Drew University in New Jersey.
"What happened in 2016 broke a lot people's hearts."
According to an indictment by the U.S. special counsel last summer, Russian government hackers stole tens of thousands of emails from the campaign of Trump's presidential Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton before passing them on to WikiLeaks for publication.
Trump made it clear he was game.
"I love WikiLeaks," he proclaimed during a campaign in which he would go on to cite the website more than 160 times.
In 2017, Assange denied to Fox News host Sean Hannity that the hacked documents came from the Russian government. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team found differently, moving in 2018 to indict 12 Russian intelligence officers over the DNC and Clinton campaign hacking.
'Assange didn't change'
Liberal outrage over the Trump-Assange alliance showed a misunderstanding of who Assange was all along, despite his reputation in the media as a darling of the libertarian left, Lynch said.
"Assange didn't change. He has been appropriated by those who have warped the initial stated aims of his organization. But Assange was always fundamentally a contrarian, and fundamentally deeply anti-American."To consider him a "hero or villain," Lynch said, places too much focus on Assange as an agent in control of a narrative.
"I find Assange to have been a pawn in a lot of games," she said. "I think of him more as a tragic figure."
WikiLeaks made its splash in 2010 with the release of "Collateral Murder," leaked footage showing a 2007 Baghdad airstrike that showed the purportedly "indiscriminate" killings that left a dozen people dead, including two Reuters journalists.
Recognizing the value in such leaks, investigative journalists with publications such as the Guardian and the New York Times partnered with WikiLeaks in 2010 to publish hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables, some of which were classified and redacted by publications to preserve sensitive intelligence information. The incident became known as CableGate.
Nearly a decade since Collateral Murder, the libertarian and liberal progressive embrace of Assange has softened, Lynch said.
"Right now, yes — we all think of Assange very differently."
WikiLeaks did not prove to be the engine of democratic change that liberal idealists had hoped for, she said. And then came the 2016 election.
"This was designed to elect Donald Trump," he asserted.
Assange's relationships with notable journalists have also deteriorated, reportedly owing in part to what former collaborators described as a combative style and paranoia. The Guardian broke off its partnership with him in 2010, reportedly after he threatened legal action over the publication of a batch of documents the newspaper had obtained outside of WikiLeaks.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, who had previously won the trust of National Security Administration whistleblower Edward Snowden and interviewed him for the film CitizenFour, soon soured on Assange during the filming of her Assange-focused documentary, Risk. One scene captures Assange brushing off the allegations of two Swedish women who accused him in 2010 of sexual assault, calling them lesbians who he believes are involved in a "radical feminist conspiracy." The charges were later dropped.
From 'freedom fighter' to 'destructive conduit'?
Assange was "already in a sinkhole" over reports he had alienated people in newsrooms with an overbearing style," said David Szakonyi, a Russia specialist and professor at George Washington University.
"Then you add in the rape accusations."
Among liberals, support for Assange has plummeted since he first came to the world's attention as "a combination of investigative journalist, plus freedom fighter, plus transparency advocate," he said.
Today, Szakonyi sees Assange as a gear in the Russia propaganda machine who has fashioned himself into a "destructive conduit for information that maybe shouldn't have been out in the public sphere." He questions the civic value behind publishing the stolen DNC emails, which showed the party leadership's bias toward Clinton for the Democratic nomination over her then-rival Bernie Sanders.
Palmer, a Sanders supporter in 2016, looks back on 2010 as an era in which WikiLeaks "was courageous, heroic and very skilful" in how they released data.
"They were creating a new way of doing journalism, or assisting journalism by making it easier for people who witnessed terrible crimes to alert the world about them," he said.
While he admires Assange for "contributions of enormous value," he said the hacktivist's possible contribution to Trump's victory in 2016 "is regarded with a lot of disgust."
Snowden called his fellow whistleblower's arrest "a dark moment for press freedom." But Snowden has also criticized WikiLeaks in the past for editorial carelessness, commenting shortly after the DNC leaks that the "their hostility to even modest curation is a mistake."
Assange has a loyal defender in Swedish journalist Al Burke, who has spoken with Assange and visited him in London a few years ago. Burke suspects media outlets and the Central Intelligence Agency will seek to further tarnish the WikiLeaks founder.
"I think he will be besmirched. He will be regarded as various negative things. Like a pawn, a rapist, and so on and so forth. I don't think he'll get a fair shake."
Burke called the rape accusations against Assange "manufactured" and believes Ecuador's decision to revoke the WikiLeaks founder's asylum was motivated by a desire to distract from corruption allegations faced by the Ecuadorian president.
"A little part of me found almost relief because he's now going to get some fresh air and some sunlight," Burke said of Assange's arrest and eviction from the embassy.
"In terms of his physical condition, it's clearly an improvement for him. But in many other ways, it's a disaster."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in London to face hacking
conspiracy charge in the US
Sean Rossman, Doug Stanglin and Bart Jansen, USATNetwork Published
5:50 a.m. ET April 11, 2019
'Barry Pollack, a U.S. lawyer for Assange, criticized the arrest and
said Assange would need medical treatment that had been denied for
seven years.
"It is bitterly disappointing that a country would allow someone to
whom it has extended citizenship and asylum to be arrested in its
embassy," Pollack said." Once his health care needs have been
addressed, the UK courts will need to resolve what appears to be an
unprecedented effort by the United States seeking to extradite a
foreign journalist to face criminal charges for publishing truthful
information."

Theresa May has given a statement about Assange. Speaking to the
Commons before updating MPs on the Brexit delay, she said:
I am sure that the whole house will welcome the news this morning
that the Metropolitan Police have arrested Julian Assange – arrested
for breach of bail after nearly seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy.
He has also been arrested in relation to an extradition request from
the United States’ authorities. This is now a legal matter before the
courts. The home secretary will make a statement on this later, but I
would like to thank the Metropolitan Police for carrying out their
duties with great professionalism and to welcome the cooperation of
the Ecuadorian government in bringing this matter to a resolution.
This goes to show that, in the United Kingdom, no one is above the
law.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, April 11, 2019
WikiLeaks Founder Charged in Computer Hacking Conspiracy
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Julian P. Assange, 47, the founder of WikiLeaks, was
arrested today in the United Kingdom pursuant to the U.S./UK
Extradition Treaty, in connection with a federal charge of conspiracy
to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break a password to a
classified U.S. government computer.
According to court documents unsealed today, the charge relates to
Assange’s alleged role in one of the largest compromises of classified
information in the history of the United States.
The indictment alleges that in March 2010, Assange engaged in a
conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, a former intelligence analyst in the
U.S. Army, to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on U.S.
Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet
Protocol Network (SIPRNet), a U.S. government network used for
classified documents and communications. Manning, who had access to
the computers in connection with her duties as an intelligence
analyst, was using the computers to download classified records to
transmit to WikiLeaks. Cracking the password would have allowed
Manning to log on to the computers under a username that did not
belong to her. Such a deceptive measure would have made it more
difficult for investigators to determine the source of the illegal
disclosures.
During the conspiracy, Manning and Assange engaged in real-time
discussions regarding Manning’s transmission of classified records to
Assange. The discussions also reflect Assange actively encouraging
Manning to provide more information. During an exchange, Manning told
Assange that “after this upload, that’s all I really have got left.”
To which Assange replied, “curious eyes never run dry in my
experience.”
Assange is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and is
presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in
prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than
the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine
any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
and other statutory factors.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of
Virginia, John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National
Security, and Nancy McNamara, Assistant Director in Charge of the
FBI’s Washington Field Office, made the announcement after the charges
were unsealed. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Doherty-McCormick,
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kellen S. Dwyer, Thomas W. Traxler and Gordon
D. Kromberg, and Trial Attorneys Matthew R. Walczewski and Nicholas O.
Hunter of the Justice Department’s National Security Division are
prosecuting the case.
The extradition will be handled by the Department of Justice’s Office
of International Affairs.
A copy of this press release is located on the website of the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. Related court
documents and information are located on the website of the District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or on PACER by searching
for Case No. 1:18-cr-111.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a
crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless
proven guilty in court.

David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Court File No. T-1557-15
FEDERAL COURT
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should
have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015
particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta
because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging
about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a
250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells
revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed
was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious
why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual
harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who
claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department
of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in
Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major
parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it
well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against
the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two
weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service
threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false
allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an
American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that
what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the
recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes.
The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today.
In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about
something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’
bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in
the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble
opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so
naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry
Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke
his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If
Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by
impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the
Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should
have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents
released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian
involvement in the War on Iraq.
83. The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war
in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to
allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over
five years after he began his bragging:

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Search for Boston mobster victims heads to Nova Scotia
By The Associated Press
Posted Jan 15, 2001 at 12:01 AM
YARMOUTH, Nova Scotia -- Massachusetts state police will travel to
southwestern Nova Scotia Wednesday to examine a site where Boston
mobsters may have buried their victims. Elizabeth Conrad Parent, 43,
whose father Kenneth “Bobby” Conrad has been missing since 1979,
believes he was killed by an associate of South Boston gangster James
“Whitey” Bulger and buried in Canada -- alongside other victims of
Bulger’s group.
Last month, Parent recounted to the Boston Herald that former FBI
agent John J. Connolly Jr. told her almost 20 years ago that her
father was stabbed by Bulger associate Louis R. Litif, and buried in
Nova Scotia. Parent believes her father disappeared after witnessing a
Mafia killing in the basement of a Boston bar.
The Halifax Daily News reported yesterday that four officers will fly
to Yarmouth to discuss with local Royal Canadian Mounted Police a
small parcel of land in rural Deerfield, Nova Scotia. According to
land registry reports, Litif -- who was murdered in Boston in April
1980 -- purchased a house and land in Deerfield in 1971. His widow is
still an absentee landlord of the property.
Sgt. Brian Oldford, a spokesman for the RCMP, said any potential
murder investigation would be handled locally. “We would rely heavily
on (Massachusetts police) for intelligence, but the actual homicide,
as I understand it from reading the newspaper, took place on Canadian
soil and the body’s on Canadian soil,” he said.
Oldford expects the Massachusetts investigators will be in Nova Scotia
for only one day. “It’ll just be a matter of them telling us what they
know and then getting them back on the plane,” he said.
Parent said Connolly told her in a 1983 telephone conversation “a lot
of bodies” were buried at the site.
Bulger, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, was recently
indicted on new charges alleging he was involved in 18 murders.

Could mobster arrest shed light on rumour?

NovaNewsNow.com
The arrest of notorious mobster James “Whitey” Bulger in Santa Monica,
California, on Wednesday, June 22, has piqued the interest of the RCMP
in Yarmouth who wonder if Bulger’s arrest may eventually shed new
light on a rumoured mob graveyard here.
After being on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List and on the lam for around
16 years, the 81-year-old mob king-pin was arrested without incident
after the FBI launched some daytime television ads two days before
seeking the whereabouts of Bulger's girlfriend, Catherine Greig, with
a $100,000 reward offered. There was a $2 million reward for Bulger's
capture.
Corporal Dana Parsons, of the RCMP’s Southwest Major Crime Unit based
in Yarmouth, had not yet heard about Bulger’s arrest when contacted
Thursday morning by the Vanguard. He admitted the arrest is intriguing
in terms of the information it could yield when Bulger is questioned
by American authorities.
Bulger was wanted on charges of racketeering, 19 counts of murder,
conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering, extortion and drug
distribution.
But in these parts his name is of interest given rumours of a mob
graveyard in Yarmouth County.
In 2001, an extensive dig was held at a property located at the corner
of the Saunders Road and Mood Road. For 20 days the RCMP had the
permission to dig a 1.2-acre site where a bartender from Boston was
rumoured to be buried.
The property was turned upside-down and inside-out, and there was even
digging done in the basement of a residence on the scene, but no human
remains were found.
Cpl. Parsons notes that this was not a missing persons file in Nova
Scotia, rather it was a missing persons file originating in the United
States. Therefore it is still up to American authorities to lead any
investigation or inquiries. But this isn’t to say, he says, that if
new substantiated information comes forward that the police here
wouldn’t get involved again.
“It should be their follow-up as far as the interview of Bulger and if
he discloses that a murder occurred up here, than we would become
involved again,” Parsons says.
The man whose remains the RCMP were searching for when they carried
out the dig in October 2001 was South Boston bartender Kenneth Bobby
Conrad, who disappeared in 1979 after allegedly witnessing a mob hit.
The man’s daughter claimed that two years after her father vanished,
an FBI agent by the name of John Connelly had told her that her father
had been lured to Yarmouth County by a mob associate and murdered.
At the time of Conrad’s disappearance, the property was owned by Louis
R. Litif, who was an associate of Bulger. Conrad’s daughter said she
had been told that Litif had killed her father and buried his body at
the property. She said she was told other bodies were buried there as
well.
Getting information from Litif years later was a dead end. In 1980 he
was killed in a gangland slaying in Boston. In 2001 his widow had
given police the permission to dig up the property. She had taken over
part ownership of the property a month before Litif was killed.
(An interesting footnote in this story is Whitey Bulger used to be an
informant for the FBI. But when it was decided in 1994 he had to be
arrested for his crimes, it was FBI agent John Connelly who had tipped
Bulger off, allowing him to escape and remain on the lam for 16 years.
Connelly is serving time for obstruction of justice.)
When the news surfaced in 2000 about a possible mob graveyard in
Yarmouth County – which led to the dig a year later – local residents
of the area said they had heard rumours about alleged mob connections
to the property in the past. So while the news was shocking, it wasn’t
necessarily surprising.
The RCMP dig was not a simple matter of the police going onto the
property with shovels. An infrared device was used to detect
variations or disturbances in the ground. A gas-powered machine with a
spike drum was used to unlock scents beneath the ground for police
dogs. An excavator was brought onto the scene. Even the Yarmouth
County Ground Search and Rescue Team conducted a hands-and-knees
search through wooded areas of the property that had not been dug up
by the excavator.
But in the end, the RCMP could only dig and search the area for which
they had permission. After a week they concluded the dig.
“It’s never been laid to rest because there has never been a resolve
to the disappearance of that body,” says Cpl. Parsons.
On the one hand, there was no body found on the property, so was it
just a rumour and therefore a waste of money and effort? Or on the
other hand, did the dig not go far enough?
Cpl. Parsons says while the RCMP here won’t be looking to lead any new
investigation into the matter, because the file originates in the
United States, he said he may contact U.S. authorities just to touch
base with them and remind them of the assistance the police here
provided in the past.
“We don’t have an open file on a missing persons, our file was an
assistance file to them to see if there was a body up here on that
property in Deerfield,” he says. “Ultimately it’s their lead and what
we would do is follow-up on anything they gave us.”
Yet while Cpl. Parsons stresses the onus would be on the American
authorities, he says ultimately in investigations of missing persons
everyone is seeking the same goal – to bring these investigations to a
successful conclusion and hopefully bring about closure for a family.
And perhaps, in this case, to also put rumours to the test, or put them to rest.
New details emerge about radio host's 1st Puerto Rico court appearance
Trevor Doyle was detained pending trial because he was deemed a 'risk
of flight and danger to the community'

Court documents obtained by CBC News show new details of Trevor
Doyle's detention hearing on Monday in Puerto Rico.
The Fredericton radio host charged with sexual enticement of a minor
was detained pending a trial "on the basis of risk of flight and
danger to the community," said the minutes filed by the court
reporter.
According to the minutes, Doyle's defence attorney, Jesus Hernandez,
did not request conditions of release or a bail hearing but reserved
his right to reopen the detention hearing at a later date.

Doyle is a longtime host for Capital FM in Fredericton.
On Monday, he also filed a waiver of a preliminary hearing, which
means his case will go directly to trial. This does not mean an
immediate trial, however, and Doyle still has not entered a plea.
"The court approved the waiver and found probable cause as to the
charge contained in the criminal complaint," the minutes said.

The detention hearing lasted 15 minutes Monday.
Doyle was arrested on April 3 after an FBI sting operation involving
an agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. Doyle allegedly messaged the
agent on two separate apps for several days, ultimately arranging a
meeting at Pine Grove Beach in Isla Verde for oral sex.
The prosecution alleges Doyle believed he was communicating with a
13-year-old girl because the agent brought up her age multiple times.
Evidence submitted by the FBI allege he brought up her age once.
Medical conditions
As soon as he was arrested, the detention centre was advised that
Doyle suffers from anxiety, depression and high blood pressure.
Court documents posted Tuesday but signed on April 3 advised the
Metropolitan Detention Centre in Guaynabo, about 16 kilometres south
of San Juan, that Doyle "is being or has been treated and/or suffers
from" the ailments.

on Doyle's legal situation but confirmed he's been suspended from his
job as host of the morning show.
