Summary

A Sikh leader in Canada has come forward claiming that Hardip Singh Najjar was running a terrorist training camp that was training members of the Sikh extremist group, the Kalistan Tiger Force, to attack India. If true, this will change the geopolitical game between India and Canada.


Transcript

00:00:00.240 So we have a new report coming out in Canada, one that I think is important enough to do a video at 1am about,
00:00:04.920 and it will change the geopolitical game between India and Canada completely, if true.
00:00:10.480 So we have a Sikh leader from the Okanon Sikh temple, which is near Surrey, B.C., the place Hardip Singh Najjar had his temple,
00:00:20.260 and he spoke to reporters claiming that after he got back from meeting with other Sikh leaders,
00:00:24.580 it was common knowledge among the community, he's alleging, that Hardip Singh Najjar was running weapons training
00:00:32.940 and essentially extremist training camps to attack India.
00:00:37.640 Now, the reason why this is so important is because, not that India didn't know this,
00:00:43.820 I mean, India has said he's a member of the Kalistan Tiger Force, that's a listed terrorist organization in their country,
00:00:50.060 and to them he's a terrorist, and they took out a terrorist, or a terrorist died,
00:00:54.000 or they've been accused of something, whatever the position may be.
00:00:58.400 However, if all this evidence we have on Hardip Singh Najjar checks out,
00:01:03.340 it won't matter if we have the Indian government on the phone admitting to this at all,
00:01:08.880 because of international norms.
00:01:12.460 So let's kind of explain.
00:01:13.520 There's only one, international law is silly, no one follows it,
00:01:17.280 there's only one law in international geopolitics, it's might makes right,
00:01:21.100 and then underneath that there's all these different, let's say, global norms, societal norms, geopolitical norms.
00:01:27.960 What are they? They're nebulous, and that's kind of the point.
00:01:31.240 But the reason why you can't take out someone on Canadian soil is because Canada's a functioning country,
00:01:36.880 part of the G7, Five Eyes, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:40.320 And the reason why you can take out, like, Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen,
00:01:43.860 or Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, is because they're not really functioning states.
00:01:48.580 That's the international norm, right?
00:01:51.140 Because Pakistan and Yemen are countries where the rule of law is not as well enforced,
00:01:56.780 the central government doesn't have power,
00:01:58.380 and you have things like terrorist training camps,
00:02:00.760 and you can go and bomb Anwar al-Awlaki and no one cares.
00:02:03.980 Now, if all we know about Hardip Singh Najjar checks out,
00:02:10.700 or all we, like, have seen fits the narrative that he was actively planning violent activities in India,
00:02:22.720 then no country will come to our aid because it sets a terrible precedent for their countries, right?
00:02:29.000 So all the major Five Eyes countries, the UK, or none of the Five Eyes, UK, Germany, France,
00:02:35.080 if there are, you know, hardcore terrorists out there in the world and they want to take them out,
00:02:40.360 they usually do.
00:02:43.260 Now, we'd say, okay, not in Canada, not in Australia, not whatever,
00:02:46.820 but if Hardip Singh Najjar was running an active terrorist training camp
00:02:51.380 that was fomenting violence,
00:02:54.360 there's no country that's going to want to set the precedent
00:02:57.660 that taking out the guy who's planning active terrorism
00:03:00.740 and training people to do so in your country is a bad idea, right?
00:03:05.100 The Americans won't want to fulfill this.
00:03:06.660 The British, our allies, won't want to set this precedent, right?
00:03:10.500 It was different when it was, oh, was he maybe just an extremist talking about stuff,
00:03:15.840 trying to hold a silly referendum,
00:03:17.540 and then you took him out?
00:03:18.860 That violates our sovereignty, right?
00:03:21.040 Then each country, they don't want to set the precedent
00:03:23.760 that if they have someone saying crazy stuff on their country,
00:03:26.140 you know, another government's going to come in and take them out and make them look weak.
00:03:29.940 That's the international norm there.
00:03:32.560 But the norm shifts if he's actively training people for violence against an allied country.
00:03:40.240 So what do we have on him?
00:03:41.220 We have the testimony of a Sikh leader who is near him.
00:03:45.360 We have a 2016 Vancouver Sun article
00:03:47.720 that talks about the possibility of this guy running terrorist training camps.
00:03:51.100 We have him on the same billboard as the architect of the Air India bombing,
00:03:54.760 calling them both Shahids or martyrs in Punjabi,
00:03:57.040 calling for the assassination of Indian officials.
00:04:00.440 We have him holding the AK-47,
00:04:02.680 which the Indian media has provided very good evidence that it was taken in Pakistan.
00:04:06.360 So he's in Pakistan holding AK-47s.
00:04:08.300 Listen, I don't trust any Sikh human rights leader
00:04:15.480 who's doing trips to Pakistan,
00:04:17.260 a country that started with 2 million Sikhs
00:04:19.140 and now is down below 30,000.
00:04:21.220 Not a friendly place to minorities there.
00:04:23.880 So I don't know what Sikh human rights training you get in Pakistan,
00:04:28.920 but I am skeptical of it, to say the least.
00:04:33.820 We have him on video firing off AK-47s next to other guys.
00:04:37.700 Looks like it could possibly be related to a training camp
00:04:42.120 where they teach people how to fire AK-47s.
00:04:44.720 We have him openly praising the Kalistan Tiger Force,
00:04:50.240 putting up pictures of their members who have committed violence,
00:04:53.780 extremist violence.
00:04:55.120 His supporters have listed him as a leader of the Kalistan Tiger Force in his memorial.
00:05:00.640 So his supporters say he was a leader of this group
00:05:04.580 that was an offshoot of the Babar Kalasa,
00:05:06.780 which blew up Air India
00:05:08.500 and currently actively foments and executes violence on an ally.
00:05:16.880 Guys, Canada, we've got to make it stop.
00:05:19.980 It's time to pull the plug.
00:05:21.580 Time to write a nebulously worded apology about something or whatever,
00:05:25.320 give a concession and make this go away.
00:05:27.840 That's the best thing we can do.
00:05:29.840 I'd say quit while you're behind,
00:05:31.020 but if all of this comes to light,
00:05:33.300 and there's so much more who a liberal MP might have written a letter
00:05:37.300 to get this guy into the country
00:05:38.720 even after he failed two times with a fake passport and a fake marriage.
00:05:42.040 This isn't going to get better, guys.
00:05:44.240 My advice to the liberals,
00:05:46.260 make this go away right now.
00:05:49.980 And if you don't,
00:05:50.900 well, you're just going to keep getting hammered
00:05:52.440 and more and more stuff is going to come out
00:05:54.200 and we're going to look worse and worse and worse and worse.
00:05:56.660 So if we're lying to Canadians,
00:05:57.960 maybe if this stuff comes out,
00:05:59.300 we might actually do something about it,
00:06:01.520 which is a fantasy I've had for how long,
00:06:03.280 I don't know,
00:06:04.160 but I'm not going to hold my breath.
00:06:05.720 So guys, pull it together,
00:06:08.980 take the L,
00:06:10.220 get us out of this.
