Protestors gathered outside the Russian Embassy in Ottawa Sunday to condemn a referendum being held in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Men dressed up like soldiers and stood beside a ballot box out front of the Russian Embassy in Ottawa in a mock version of the controversial referendum that happened in Ukraine’s Crimea region Sunday.
The demonstration, organized by Maidan Ottawa (a local off-shoot of the loosely organized EuroMaidan Ukrainian protest movement), took place Sunday afternoon, with dozens of protesters waving signs, holding flags while overseas an official results of the vote indicated a majority of residents supported splitting the strategic peninsula from Ukraine to join Russia.
“There isn’t anything legally or physically you can do so these protests are to raise awareness about the situation in Ukraine,” said Miroslava Bilaniuk, who is of Ukrainian descent.
Mass Stabbing On Melvin- Police Use of Force Legitimized

On March 8th around 10 pm a psychopath (or psychopaths) made his (or their) way into a building located on Melvin Avenue in Hamilton Ontario. The suspect/s was just opening random doors to apartments and stabbing people. A total of four individuals got stabbed. An old lady and her son got stabbed in the neck. Here is raw footage from one of the crime scenes minutes after the stabbing. The Hamilton Police responded extremely quickly.
Updated info: the madman also stabbed a husband in the neck, his wife in her hand and their dog on first floor
As of right now it is unclear how many perpetrator stabbers there were. There was a stand off with the madman stabber at a pizza shop at a location near the crime scenes. Eye witnesses reported that madman was shot with rubber bullets and tazered. Later there were reports of ‘another individual carrying what appeared to be a knife through the hallways’, one resident told me she saw him while peeping through her peephole. There are reports of the second individual being seen in the back of a police vehicle, although it has not been 100% verified that two individuals were arrested. The witness might’ve saw the primary suspect and thought it was someone else .
These events are scenarios where deadly force is absolutely necessary. This stabber (or these stabbers) were literally sociopathic or psychopathic. They malevolently broke into random peoples homes and attempted to kill all of them. Although I am extremely impressed with the response time of these courageous officers, it came as a shock that they shot this out of control madman with only rubber bullets when clearly this man had no care for life and would’ve stabbed anyone of any age that came near him.
It blows my mind that deadly force was used in the cases such Andreas Chinnery who allegedly only had a bat and was not hurting anyone, Steve Mesic who allegedly only had a small tiny rectangular garden shovel, Phonesay Chantachak for simply fleeing in a vehicle from out of uniform officers and countless others. For whatever reason the Hamilton Police chose to spare the life of the madman stabber.
These are the types of events that spark large debates amongst Canadians about the human right to own firearms for the purposes of self defense with deadly force.
A suspect is in custody, subdued according to witnesses by jolts from a police Taser, after a multiple stabbing Saturday night at a highrise in the city’s east end.
Four people were stabbed, two suffering serious injuries, in the incident that occurred just before 10 p.m. at 221 Melvin Avenue, near Parkdale.
The province’s Special Investigations Unit has been called in.
Police received “numerous” 9-1-1 calls at about 9:50 p.m. and officers arrived on scene to find the four victims, who needed immediate assistance.
As police were helping them, a man was identified from a distance as the person who was involved in the altercation, Staff Sergeant Mike Webber said.
He fled on foot and police officers gave chase.
Webber said as a result of the police contact with the suspect, the SIU was alerted.
EMS platoon commander Jim Summers said a 60-year-old woman was stabbed in the neck and a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the neck and head. Both were taken to Hamilton General Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Two more patients were taken to St. Joe’s with minor lacerations to their hands.
The fifth person, believed to be the suspect, was taken to hospital with a broken ankle.
Webber said he is receiving medical treatment.
Misty Crouse, who lives across the street, said the stabbing started inside the highrise on the 12th floor. She saw three people taken out on a stretcher.
She said the suspect came out if the building and climbed up the balcony of a pizza shop next door.
“He jumped off of the balcony and they Tasered him three times. He had a knife, it looked like a hunting knife,” Crouse said.
She said the man was obviously “out of it, but they kept shooting him with the Tasers.”
“He was just sitting there with the knife, he kept wiping it on his pants.”
Webber would not comment on whether a Taser was used.
A forensics unit was on scene and the Special Investigation Unit, which investigates whenever a civilian is injured or killed in interactions with police, arrived around midnight. The SIU has four investigators and two forensic officers on site. Lead investigator Dean Seymour said early Sunday morning that their probe will focus on the area of the pizza shop where the police interaction occurred, not the apartment building.
Melvin Avenue is closed at Parkdale Avenue while police continue the investigation.
Ten Years After the Coup in Haiti, Democracy is Still Under Siege
by Dan Beeton
RINF Alternative News
Mar 1, 2014
It has been 10 years since the February 29, 2004 coup d’etat that ousted the democratically-elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. Paramilitary groups – including many former members of Haiti’s disbanded army and/or CIA-funded death squads – had engaged in a campaign of violence directed against supporters of the government, and the Haitian National Police (HNP), for years before. Supported by the Dominican government and advised by groups based in Washington, they unleashed a wave of terror, killing innocent civilians including children and women, assaulting and brutalizing others, and burning down police stations and other government buildings. In the end, however, these groups seem to have realized they could not mount a successful incursion into Port-au-Prince, and it was a U.S. plane that flew Aristide out of the country.
As CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot wrote after the coup, Washington also directed international financial institutions to withhold funds from the Aristide government (some of which were designated for potable water – their being withheld helping to create the conditions for the cholera epidemic several years later):
[T]he Administration has been working on toppling Aristide for the past three years, plunging the country into chaos in the process.
The major international financial institutions (IFI’s) — including the IMF, World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, supported the administration’s destabilization efforts by cutting off hundreds of millions of dollars in credit to one of the most desperately poor countries in the world.
The pretext was a dispute over the election of seven senators of Aristide’s party in 2001. Aristide offered every possible solution but it didn’t matter. With Washington and the IFI’s backing them, the opposition refused any agreement short of Aristide’s resignation.
In the end, Aristide did not resign – although the Bush administration claimed he did. Aristide himself claimed instead that he was the victim of a “kidnapping in the service of a coup d’etat.” His account is verified by witnesses, as Randall Robinson has pointed out in his account of events related to the coup. Bundled onto a plane, he and First Lady Mildred Aristide were flown to an unknown destination, what turned out to be the Central African Republic.
Update On P.E.I. Man Detained To Mental Hospital For Acts Of Kindess — video included
by Terry Wilson
Canadian Awareness Network
Mar 26, 2014
[Potent News editor’s note/update: According to this article and someone who posted at Richard Wright’s facebook page yesterday, he is now free.]
Yesterday I posted a video on Youtube about a man named Richard Wright in P.E.I. Richard had gone into the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia to hand out money to total strangers who he thought could use some help. This act of kindness has been reciprocated by the RCMP and the Charlottetown hospital detaining him for mental evaluation.
As I have looked into this story, looking to make sense of how this could have happened. The more strange it has become!
After his spree of kindness, the Halifax police pulled Richard over. They deemed that he was OK and had not committed any kind of a crime so they let him go. Then as he drove into the province of Prince Edward Island, he was again pulled over. This time it was by the RCMP and a mental health crisis team. They evaluated Richard and deemed that he should be detained to the hospital. Richard has been in the hospital against his will since that time (March 20).
Since then, Richards story has been picked up in national and international news outlets. With most commenter’s appalled by the situation. A Facebook page called #OpFreeRichardRight has been started and at the time of this article has nearly 5,000 people in it. [Potent News editor’s note: For some reason I haven’t been able to access this facebook page.]
One poster who has apparently been in contact with Richard posted a message from him.
“March 25th 2014 UPDATE
Today I received notice that the Mental Health Review Board consisting of:
Debbie Flood – Vickerson, Nurse Manager, Unit 9
Dr. Nadeem Dada – Psychiatrist on Board
Dr. Christine Beck, Attending Psychiatrist Chair, Mental Health Board?
will be held on Friday March 28th at 930am. The meeting was originally scheduled to appeal my involuntary admission to the Unit 9 Psychiatric Facility. Today, after receiving the notice of the date and participants of the appeal meeting, I was notified that it was also to include other matters which consisted of: Dr. Becks desire to issue a certificate of incapacity and capability to manage my own affairs, which would include losing custody of my kids. That would be a bad thing for us if they did succeed with this.
Since being abducted by the system on March 20th I have requested an official copy of the Mental Health Act and Access to my medical records in preparation for the Mental Health Review Board Appeal Meeting. Those documents have not yet been provided and it appears they they never will be. I did receive a summary photocopy that clearly states that it is for information and reference purposes only, and is NOT the official version, which contains the yearly revisions, and complete information.
I am still restricted to my room and I am only allowed out for short periods of time. Today I was also notified that I can only receive and make phone calls to my two daughter, my mom, my ex, and my brother. I am also not allowed to receive visits from others. It seems as that are trying to crack me but I am a strong guy…how far will they go?
I believe that there is a conspiracy going on at high levels because I am smart enough to and knowledgeable enough to expose all of the injustices being done by the entire population of the planet, or at least 89% of us. I figure that there is a plan for complete world domination and suppression and even population control plans in the works. If they get their way they would likely give me a needle and silence me for good. This is getting very very serious. I just wanted to help make the world a fair and just place place for all. We are on the verge of losing the battle. This is our time to step up. IT IS NOW! NOW NOW OR NEVER! I am still optimistic and anything you can do to help would be appreciated. As of right now I am looking for a lawyer which is the best of the best.
I have a lot of things posted on my wall that I would like each and everyone of you to go through and read. It will help you to better understand that this is a lot bigger than anyone could have imagined.
https://www.facebook.com/richard.wright.39589?fref=ts
Sadly and Sincerely, Richard.”
After scanning his Facebook wall, I could not find anything that could be seen as grounds for mental evaluation. His posts mainly consist of links to stories about highly paid CEO’s and bankers, income inequality, free energy, and some Memes about the NSA, and things of that nature.
These topics could be seen as controversial, but is grounds for hospitalization? Apparently here in Canada it is.

Is This Our Future Under Agenda 21?
by Terry Wilson
Canadian Awareness Network
Feb 27, 2014
While working on my film about United Nations Agenda 21, I have seen and read about many things within the plan that are downright disturbing!
One of those plans, is for people to be packed into high density “mega cities”. With no one living outside of they’re boundaries. This idea was exposed in the U.S. by Dr. Micheal Coffman in the 1990′s, when he released this map (along with much more information)
Here in Hamilton, our mayor Bob Bratina and Burlington mayor Rick Goldring have been promoting the concept. By stating the cities must grow upwards and can no longer grow outwards.
“Mayors Bob Bratina and Rick Goldring, of Hamilton and Burlington respectively, told local home builders Friday the days of sprawling subdivisions as the major form of growth in the cities are over, replaced by a changing market demanding projects closer to amenities.
My answer to that is to think vertical,” he said in an interview after his presentation. “If you’re running out of land, then the only way to go is up.”
Tread more about his statements here
Many people are left wondering what a mega city in Canada would look like. Would it be something like Toronto? Or more like the utopian design drawings for the mega city being built in Malaysia?
Personally I don’t think they will look or function like either of those two places. The reality is that we will be forced into sardine can apartment complexes that stretch out in a seemingly never ending fashion. In a way that photographer Michael Wolf has captured the living spaces in Hong Kong. (See the whole photo set at: mnn.com)
These types of living conditions are inhuman! And I personally will never accept living in something like that. Will you?

VIDEO — Rising ‘Hispanic’ Star George P. Bush Confronted on Family’s Nazi Banking Past
Truthstream Media
Feb 16, 2014

http://truthstreammedia.com/proof-ran…
The little known George P. Bush (from the powerful Bush Dynasty) is rising to political power in Texas on his ‘Hispanic’ credentials. His rising star is a Trojan Horse towards stopping a “Blue State” from emerging in Texas, swinging potentially Democratic voters back to the GOP, while priming the Southwest for the immigration reforms designed by his father Jeb Bush at the Council on Foreign Relations — in turn part of the larger plan to usher in a North American Union and seize vast land areas for the planned Trans-Texas Corridor which will fast-track NAFTA-on-steroids global trade and transform the once free United States irreparably.
——-
With George P. Bush, grandson of George H.W. Bush, campaigning in Texas to secure political office and his place in the 4th generation Bush Dynasty as a “Hispanic” leader, a Latino activist confronted him on the inconvenient truth of his family’s Nazi connections. George P. Bush was named after Sen. Prescott S. Bush, the father of George H.W. Bush, who was a partner at Union Banking Corporation — a bank that had its assets frozen under the 1942 Trading With the Enemy Act for financing Hitler and the Nazis.
The London Guardian, among other sources, have confirmed the scandal through historical documents. See here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004… Nevertheless, the powerful Bush Dynasty has played a role in war profiteering, the creation of the CIA, shady covert operations and has now seen two U.S. presidents named George Bush, along with other powerful political figures.
Will George P. Bush be the next? A new drama of mass proportions is unfolding in Texas… Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton of Truthstream Media.com speak with Hector Cubillos of PoliticalScams.me, the Texas resident and Mexican national who confronted the blue blood Bush scion on exploiting his Hispanic credentials to gain office (full confrontation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_7YmM…).
The son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is now seeking election for Texas Land Commissioner — a position well under the radar of most political spectators — but which holds powerful clout over vast land areas, imminent domain, veteran’s rights, education … and in particular over a pet project with many Bush hands already in it — the formation of the Trans-Texas Corridor and the gradual completion of the North American Union. These mega-projects would combine the economies and territories of Canada, the United States and Mexico, while fast-tracking corporate dominance and paving over existing properties with a gigantic new transport highway that runs vertically from lower Mexico up through Texas all the way to Canada. Compounding with this are the changing demographics of Texas, which many political pundits say could turn “blue” and swing Democratic, while the Republican party in a long-firm “red” state is trying to stay relevant by showcasing Hispanic candidates like George P. Bush — all while his daddy Jeb Bush is pushing the Immigration Reform Plan he wrote for the elitist and secretive Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
The impact of these vast changes in policy and infrastructure are part of a globalist scheme to transform the structure of governance and place the rights of the Constitution under the yoke of Free Trade and treaty law. Hector Cubillos explains how he has seen the impacts of NAFTA first hand growing up in Mexico, and how it contributing to mass migration and an influx of illegal immigration in the United States.
