The Plot -an examination of the Canada Day bomb threat

The Parliament Building in Victoria, B.C. was the scene of a thwarted terrorist plot on Canada Day 2013. Amanda Korody and John Nuttall were the accussed.

Note the date of first offences, March 2013…. kinda makes you go mmm…..I’ve no doubt these two were irrational nor were they well intentioned but…were they groomed by the very forces that subsequently, with much fanfare and photo-ops, charged them? Why did we not attempt “intervention” to save these two from their spiraling fall into destructive acts earlier, like in March, when RCMP had “control”? What about this interview with author Trevor Aaronson, author of The Terror Factory? http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/05/01/f-q-a-trevor-aaronson.html
Christy Clark strode down the exterior steps of the Parliament Building to engage in rhetoric with news reporters. Her remarks were scripted and full of righteous indignity.

Who is the “They” in Christy’s  remarks? “They want us to view each other with suspicion. They want us to be seized with anger. They want this because they hate the things that make us Canadian. They hate the values that make B.C. and Canada the envy of the world.” I’m only scared of you, Christy Clark, and your handlers. These two people WERE Canadians. Is anyone who doesn’t like the values, ie: pipelines and bitumen, GMO crops, oppressed First Nations, corporate welfare, or anyone who doesn’t agree that those values are enviable; are all us disgruntled, dismayed, irate, citizens, grist for the “Find the Terrorist” mill? 

One has only to read the first responses and comments to a post in the Tyee,http://thetyee.ca/News/2013/07/02/Bomb-Plot-Leg/ to realize that I am not alone in my doubt, in my mistrust of those who wield power, in my awakening to the “spin” doctrine of the guardians of the 1%.
