Justin Trudeau says he knows nothing about spying on Canadian citizens, but a military contractor at the University of Arkansas has been caught spying on Rebel News and we'll take you through it. Plus, why is Trudeau deploying the Canadian Armed Forces against our citizens to promote his political agenda?
00:12:38.260The command saw the military's pandemic response as an opportunity to monitor and collect public information
00:12:53.260in order to enhance our awareness for better command decision-making, Gosselin determined.
00:12:59.260Gosselin also pointed out Sea Joke's staff had a palpable dismissive attitude toward the advice and concerns raised by other military leaders.
00:13:07.260Okay, so they were spying on people, that's for sure.
00:13:11.260On political opponents of the government, that's for sure.
00:13:14.260And they laughed at any concept of oversight or limiting their spying.
00:13:17.260But did they engage in outward bound propaganda too?
00:13:20.260Spying on us is creepy, they're creepy, but what did they do with it?
00:13:24.260Did they try and meddle with us? Did they try to interfere with us?
00:13:28.260There's an ongoing debate inside National Defense Headquarters in Ottawa about the use of information operations techniques.
00:13:33.260Some public affairs officers, intelligence specialists, and senior planners want to expand the scope of such methods in Canada
00:13:39.260to allow them to better control and shape government information the public receives.
00:13:44.260Others inside headquarters worry that such operations could lead to abuses, including having military staff intentionally mislead the Canadian public,
00:13:50.260or taking measures to target opposition MPs or those who criticize government or military policy.
00:13:56.260Did that happen? Did the Canadian forces mislead the public?
00:14:01.260There's been lots of propaganda about how bad the pandemic is, about how you must be locked down, how you have to give up your rights.
00:14:08.260Was the army intelligence involved in that?
00:14:11.260I mean, they've outright lied before, as the Post notes.
00:14:16.260Military propaganda training and initiatives within Canada over the last year have proved to be controversial.
00:14:21.260The Canadian forces had to launch an investigation after a September 2020 incident
00:14:26.260when military information operations staff forged a letter from the Nova Scotian government
00:14:32.260warning about wolves on the loose in a particular region of the province.
00:14:36.260That's what I mean by black propaganda. People felt manipulated.
00:14:51.260They didn't know they were being manipulated, though, and they didn't know who was doing it and why.
00:14:55.260Trudeau was doing it. That's it. I'll read more.
00:14:58.260Yet another review centered on the Canadian Forces Public Affairs Branch and its activities last year.
00:15:02.260The branch launched a controversial plan that would have allowed military public affairs offices
00:15:07.260to use propaganda to change attitudes and behaviors of Canadians,
00:15:11.260as well as to collect and analyze information from public social media accounts.
00:15:16.260The plan would have seen staff move from traditional government methods of communicating with the public
00:15:21.260to a more aggressive strategy of using information warfare and influence tactics on Canadians.
00:15:27.260Included among those tactics was the use of friendly defense analysts and retired generals to push military PR messages
00:15:33.260and to criticize on social media those who raise questions about military spending and accountability.
00:15:39.260So they're not just spying and propagandizing for the good of the country,
00:15:42.260but they're spying and propagandizing to promote their own interests, their own funding.
00:15:47.260That's the definition of a deep state. They care about their paychecks and their permanent power.
00:15:52.260That's what Eisenhower warned about, his military industrial complex.
00:15:57.260Seriously, how much trust have you lost in police in the last 18 months?
00:16:25.260Several months ago, Acting Chief of Defense Staff General Wayne Ayer
00:16:29.260and Department of National Defense Deputy Minister Jody Thomas acknowledged
00:16:34.260in an internal document that various propaganda initiatives had gotten out of control.
00:16:38.260Errors conducted during domestic operations and training and sometimes insular mindsets at various echelons
00:16:45.260have eroded public confidence in the institution, noted a June 9, 2021 message signed by Aaron Thomas.
00:16:51.260This included the conduct of information operations on a domestic operation without explicit Chief of Defense Staff Deputy Minister direction or authority to do so,
00:17:02.260as well as the unsanctioned production of reports that appeared to be aimed at monitoring the activities of Canadians.
00:17:08.260Yeah, we don't trust many institutions anymore, do we?
00:17:12.260But that doesn't really seem to matter to these institutions.
00:17:15.260I mean, what are you going to do about it, really?
00:18:59.260Tell us, what was this email, this internal email?
00:19:04.260Who was it sent by and what does it mean?
00:19:08.260It was sent by Richard Wex, who is the chairperson and CEO of the Immigration and Refugee Appeal Board System.
00:19:18.260So it's semi-detached from the immigration department.
00:19:23.260It's not quite as independent as a lot of judiciaries are.
00:19:28.260And Wex has sent out a new chairman's directive.
00:19:32.260So this doesn't even debate it in parliament.
00:19:35.260This hasn't gone to cabinet, although I suspect that the appropriate cabinet ministers know about it.
00:19:41.260And it says that if you have intersectionality or trauma,
00:19:50.260and I'll get to intersectionality in a second.
00:19:52.260If you have either of these two, then you don't have to have what would be traditionally called a convention refugee definition.
00:20:01.260You don't have to be someone who's seen as a refugee by the United Nations.
00:20:06.260And, of course, the United Nations has a very broad definition of what makes a refugee.
00:20:11.260But basically, up until now, you have to have shown to an immigration officer or then failing the immigration officer's decision.
00:20:22.260You don't like the immigration officer's decision.
00:20:23.260You have to then show to an immigration or refugee judge.
00:20:26.260You had to show them that you are under threat of torture, imprisonment or death if you were sent back to the country that you come from.
00:20:37.260Now, you merely have to assert that it is your perception that you have one or more intersectionality claims.
00:20:48.260So age, sexual orientation, gender, political views, indigeneity, which was a word that does exist, but I didn't know it existed until I got a hold of this memo the other day.
00:21:04.260There's a whole long list, and as you said in the introduction, of these woke reasons why you should be admitted to Canada.
00:21:13.260And basically, it makes useless the entire screening system that we have, whether it's at the bureaucratic level where the officers first look at an application,
00:21:27.260or at the semi-judicial level, these immigration adjudicators and refugee adjudicators, it makes it basically useless for them to do anything.
00:21:38.260Because who won't, off of this long list of politically correct definitions, who won't be able to find two that they qualify for?
00:21:48.260You know, I was reading your article, and one of the incredible facts that I did not know was that there are actually, you know, there's about 300 of these adjudicators across Canada,
00:21:58.660and a couple dozen of them have a 100% acceptance rate.
00:22:04.160That is, they have literally never said to someone, well, I'm not sure if you're a refugee.
00:22:11.500By the way, I want to read to people what the United Nations definition is of a refugee.
00:22:16.020It's not open doors. I've got it here on my phone.
00:22:18.980It's a person who has fled his country because of a well-founded fear of persecution on a particular list of grounds, race, religion, nationality.
00:22:29.280We're friends with a refugee lawyer named Giddy Mammon who said that someone whose husband was killed in Lebanon through a terrorist attack,
00:22:38.460she wanted to come here as a refugee, and she was turned down because the immigration board said,
00:22:45.240well, it's terrible what happened to your husband, but you do not have a well-founded fear of persecution.
00:22:50.620I mean, that sounded maybe a little harsh to me, but that is, well, do you have a fear of persecution or not?
00:22:56.560And is it well-founded, to use the UN words?
00:23:00.120What you're saying is they're just absolutely doing away with any litmus test, and anyone who manages to make their way here, they're in.
00:23:08.600That's what I'm hearing here. Am I wrong?
00:23:10.060Yeah, basically. I think that's basically it.
00:23:12.020And that's what I said in my piece today is that as long as you can make it here, it's very, very difficult now.
00:23:19.840It will become very, very difficult for you to be removed.
00:23:22.900It's already fairly good. The median approval rate, when it gets to the judicial level, for people to be allowed to stay here is about 70%.
00:23:35.480So about 70% of the thousands of appeals that go to one of the adjudicators every year, about 70% are accepted.
00:23:44.340And the adjudicators have varying degrees of acceptance.
00:23:51.040There are a couple who only accepted about 4% of the people before them, and there are others who, if you correctly said, 22 out of about 320, who accepted 100%.
00:24:02.600It didn't matter what the case evidence was.
00:24:05.720It didn't matter whether or not there was a legitimate reason to accept.
00:24:10.500I think most of them, who are liberal appointees, are simply there because, having formerly been immigration advisors or immigration lawyers working on behalf of claimants, they just think everyone should be allowed.
00:24:26.160And I think that's basically the system we're coming at.
00:24:29.540As I said, about 70% of claims that make it to the adjudicator are accepted.
00:24:37.400I mean, the adjudicators sit them, they listen to evidence the way a judge would in a superior court.
00:24:42.840You have to be able to prove, to some extent, that your insistence that you be under threat of imprisonment, torture, or death, if you were sent back, was legitimate.
00:24:54.160But now, one was very, very interesting.
00:24:57.740It says, were you perceived to be gay in your own country?
00:25:03.580And is that perception that you're gay leading to you being discriminated again?
00:25:09.740And if your answer is yes, and there wasn't much proof needed, you simply needed to say, yes, I was perceived to be gay, and that was making me, it was making my life dangerous, and you're in.
00:25:24.140You know, a couple years ago, before the pandemic really pushed every other issue aside, the Liberals came out with a new immigration plan that over three years will bring in more than one million new Canadians.
00:25:38.880And not quite a majority of those were either family reunification or refugees, so barely half of them would be folks who would be working, and we hear, well, we need more workers.
00:25:49.540But of this million, hundreds of thousands would not be workers.
00:25:54.240They would be folks who would be, you know, in the wagon, not helping to pull the wagon.
00:26:00.280And I just want to read one line from your essay.
00:26:04.780This is how the Liberals intend to turn 300,000 or so immigrants a year into 400,000 almost overnight.
00:26:14.340I think, and what gets me, Lorne, is that of the five parties that were in the official leaders' debates, all five of them seem to agree with these stats.
00:26:37.700I think largely this is one of those settled debates, like climate change and assault weapons and huge expansion of government,
00:26:48.280is that there really is no party left that is taking a firm – it doesn't have to be a hard line, just a firmer line on this, to say, hey, let's enforce the rules as they exist.
00:27:04.540A, to allow legitimate refugees and immigrants into the country, and B, to keep illegitimate ones out, because who knows what they may be able to do.
00:27:14.160It might only simply be that they want to come in because we have really good health care and welfare.
00:27:19.180Or it might be because they want to see if they can't radicalize first and second generation Muslim youth in the country.
00:27:28.300I mean, there are a whole bunch of security reasons why you would want to keep undesirable people out of the country, because once they're in, they're very difficult to remove.
00:27:38.380But I think the Liberals don't see any of that.
00:27:41.900They don't see any particular threat from anyone coming into the country.
00:27:46.340So they're just throwing the doors wide open.
00:27:48.380And you can bet that a lot of those people who are hanging out under the Del Rio Bridge in Texas over the last couple of weeks will eventually get word that all you need to do is show up in Canada and claim that you are being persecuted at home and presto, in you go.
00:28:08.920Or that you would be poor if you were at home.
00:28:12.080So, you know, an awful lot of people, if they really were Haitians sitting under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas, and there have been lots of reasons, storms and political ineptitude and corruption that have made most Haitians poor, that would be one of the things you would just claim.
00:28:34.020Well, and once you get into the U.S. and they've acknowledged that they've allowed in a great number, if you're Haitian, odds are French is your first language, obviously.
00:28:55.280And they're not going to deport you anytime soon under Joe Biden.
00:28:57.560But maybe you make your way to New York, cross over in Roxham Road, and now you're with one of the largest expat Haitian communities in the world.
00:29:35.580I want to praise the Edmonton Sun for running this article because you're not allowed to criticize open borders immigration in many forms anymore.
00:29:45.520I think that this is one of those things where all the official establishment, all the institutions, all the fancy people and polite people are all agreed open borders forever.
00:29:59.360But if you look at any poll, most Canadians of every party background in every region have the opposite point of view.
00:30:09.920I'm worried that we won't even be able to talk about this for very long.
00:30:13.280Am I being too much of a pessimist on that?
00:30:17.580I don't think we'll be shut up anytime soon.
00:30:20.560But I do think that you look at, like, Bill C-10 and Bill C-36, the two internet regulation bills that the liberals had on the order paper before they called the election and everything was dissolved.
00:30:33.340So laws like that could eventually be used, as you well know, because of your excellent history with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
00:30:44.040Bills like that certainly can be used by activist organizations to shut up their opponent.
00:30:50.420And not just one, but several free speech and internet access groups in Canada have said that were C-10 and C-36 to be reintroduced in some form, they would amount to among the most restrictive free speech rules of any democracy in the world.
00:31:12.680And so, yes, it's possible that it's going to get to be more and more difficult to talk about.
00:31:18.060But the good news is that not only did this story that I wrote appear in the Edmonton Sun, it appears in all of the Sun newspapers today across the country.
00:31:27.840So several hundred thousands, perhaps over a million people will get to see.
00:31:32.560Well, I'm very glad, and I thank you for doing it, and congratulate you on the scoop.
00:31:36.940For those who haven't read it yet, may I encourage you to go to the link.
00:31:40.640It's called Liberals to Make Immigration to Canada Much Easier, and Lauren Gunter broke the news in the Edmonton Sun and, as we just heard, across the Post Media Network.
00:31:50.200Thanks, my friend. Good luck, and keep up the great journalism.
