The United Church of Canada has defended its decision to promote a boycott of Israeli products produced in illegal settlements. The church has found itself being criticized by pro-Israel media pundits in Canada who denounced the Church’s decision as one-sided. Church leaders say their decision to pass motions which endorse a boycott aligns them with the international legal consensus on the settlements.

FLASHBACK: Spreading NAFTA’s Love Across the Atlantic
by Dana Gabriel
BE YOUR OWN LEADER
August 26, 2012
(Originally published in October of 2008)
Canada and the European Union (EU) are set to begin preliminary discussions on deeper economic integration a mere three days after the election. It has been reported that the proposed trade deal will far exceed NAFTA. Some see this as an opportunity to possibly update the 15 year-old accord. Stephen Harper is busy telling Canadians that only a Conservative majority government will be able to bring confidence back and stabilize the economy. That is why I find it a little strange that this has not become a pillar of the Conservatives economic platform. Harper has decided not to release the full text of the draft proposal until after the election on October 14. The reality is that such an agreement with the EU will be no different than NAFTA in the sense that it will be used to further advance corporate interests.
For the past several months, Canadian officials have been hard at work negotiating with EU representatives. They have compiled a detailed study that will be unveiled after the election. Talks could begin as early as October 17 at a summit in Montreal , with formal negotiations set to begin in 2009. Just as the case with the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) labour, citizen groups and the public at large have been excluded from any discussions. Many support this trade initiative because they wish to lessen Canada’s dependency on the American economy. This agreement has a better chance of succeeding if Harper is re-elected Prime Minister. There still remains much secrecy surrounding trade talks with the EU, and up to this point, Harper appears to be reluctant to make this an election issue.
French and current rotating EU president Nicolas Sarkozy has said that he wishes economic integration with Canada to be part of his lasting legacy. Europe sees Canada’s energy resources as a possible solution to easing their dependency on Russian oil and gas. In a commentary that appeared in the Globe and Mail, Alan Alexandroff, co-author of the C.D. Howe Institute paper titled Still Amigos, writes, “If the EU and Canada can forge an accord that covers services, government procurement and skilled labour that could well set the table for reviving the original NAFTA.” He went on to say, “If the EU and Canada join hands, the U.S. and Mexico will be eager to join the party.” Some believe that such an agreement will further advance North American integration while spreading NAFTA to Europe. A Canada-EU trade deal could be used as the model for future bilateral accords and as a way to further renew U.S.-EU relations.
There are calls to further deepen the U.S.-EU partnership with a new sense of multilateralism in areas of trade, climate change, and fighting terrorism. In April of 2007, it was announced with very little fanfare that the U.S.-EU had reached a deal on a new Trans-Atlantic Economic Partnership. They agreed to set up an economic council and further boost trade and investment by harmonizing services, business takeovers, and intellectual property. They also agreed to continue working towards eliminating non-tariff barriers to trade, which could eventually lead to a U.S.-EU single market.
Economic integration was a first step in the creation of the EU, and a similar stealth approach is being used to advance a North American Union. EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso recently said in a speech, “We have to make room at the top table for others, because that is the only way we can consolidate and strengthen a stable, multilateral world, governed by internationally agreed rules.” He also stated, “the time has come to start thinking of an Atlantic Agenda for Globalisation.” With the further erosion of national sovereignty and continued economic, social, cultural and environmental integration, we are on an undeniable path towards world government.
With the collapse of the WTO talks, more bilateral trade agreements will be used in advancing the New World Order’s agenda. The global elite, pushing for world government, are using the current financial turmoil to acquire more wealth and power. Economic uncertainty could also be used to usher in a North American Union with its own currency. A Canada-EU trade deal is yet another incremental step towards global governance.

Just Go Home: Call for a US-Canadian General Strike from Aug 31 to Sep 4
By Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri

August 23, 2012
In the name of lasting peace, prosperity, and the very future of all our lives, I am calling for a US-Canadian nations-wide, general STRIKE! We have run out of time. Financially and environmentally, our countries and our entire planet are all in extremis. It is way past the ninth hour. The dots connecting this are already well known.
We must all understand that we each have a personal responsibility to put an end to the out-of-control CHAOS that has been deliberately created by supposed “leaders” who are not working for us as public officials. Rather, they have been working for a very long time for a group of multinational corporations and financial institutions tied to the cabal [or Illuminati] who continue to deliberately wreck our lives, steal our homes and jobs, put us in perpetual financial debt, and poison us with a myriad of lethal chemicals, hormone disruptors, vaccines, and heavy metals in the food we eat and the water we drink.
www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed–the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world.html
The air we breathe is now a plasma state. We have no place to go. No place to hide. Everyone is affected; but most of these toxins are invisible. As I have repeatedly written: “Invisible does no mean we are safe.”
Everything has been poisoned or destroyed in a deliberate plan by these psychopaths to control every aspect of our lives.
This Monumental Assault on all of us, and the entire web-of-life, is no accident. Having just lectured and attended our first US Geo-engineering/ Chemtrails aerosol conference this past weekend, there is overwhelming scientific evidence of enormous global weather modification that has already changed our entire planet. SEE:
Recently, I drove across the country again; and I also believe that these aerosol crimes (as Clifford Carnicom has rightly called them) have been ampped up over the past few months to create even more devastation and injury. We do NOT have global warming. This was a deliberate scam to cover the stealth programs of weather warfare and on-going climate modification. There is tremendous evidence; and I am just one of many deeply concerned citizens who continue to see the lies and deceit in every Orwellian governmental action.
Terror and fear have been created cross-culturally by those criminals in charge. This surrounds all of us. Un-ending wars and illegal invasions of other countries is now the modus operandi of the US and its NATO allies, as it conducts daily global military operations. There is no sane reason for any of this. We are living in a robotic police state where basic civility has been destroyed and Americans are harmed and targeted for injury by a militarized police force. Why is the Social Security Administration (and other agencies) stockpiling lethal hollow point bullets?
www.pakalertpress.com/2012/08/19/feds-explanation-of-hollow-point-bullets-raises-more-questions
IS THIS WORLD WE WANT FOR US AND FOR OUR CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN?
In place of courtesy, basic human kindness and rule of law, our civil, Constitutional, and human rights have been gutted. Millions of people have lost both their homes and jobs through the criminal financial manipulations behind the scenes of the global economy, while the elite hide all the money they stole from us in off shore accounts. JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY. This has been done through stealth activities of many key “public” officials in concert with various agencies, other government’s officials, banking institutions, and multi-national corporations. It is all to bring whatever is left –even superficially– of our sovereignty to an end. For those who are actually following this, we no longer have a US Constitution, but are actually under corporate law.
Additionally, there also have been many secret agreements and a shadow US government:

Various presidents and prime ministers have met to create more secret chaos through a stealth implementation of the illegal North American Union (NAU):

There is also the United Nations Agenda 21:

and ICLEI [International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives] programs:
and
www.newswithviews.com/Barnewall/marilyn166.htm
Mainstream media (television, radio, and newspapers, and some websites) all have been complicit in this cover-up of what is actually going on behind the scenes to destroy everything that barely remains in the US, Canada, and elsewhere around the planet.
Finally, through a multi-pronged attack on us, we are being poisoned at an exponential and synergistic level that is unprecedented in our history! As mentioned above, the thousands upon thousands of toxins that surround our every move 24/7/365 are in vaccines, genetically modified organisms, hormone disruptors, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and a lifetime of radiation –and now invisible but constant and dangerous EMF/RF– exposure. All this has destroyed our ability to either reproduce or be healthy. Sterility is commonly found in all life forms –not just humans. Chemtrails aerosols (possibly even going back to the 1970s from evidence shown at this conference) and HAARP have changed our weather and created numerous “catastrophes” that were/are NOT natural events. The staggering rates of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and multiple immune illnesses, cognitive and brain damage all are ENORMOUS indications that we are in a vast crisis. It is now generational; and today our innocent children are burdened with much illness since birth.
What Can We Do?
We have untapped consumer power that we have never collectively used. As I just said in my lecture this past Saturday, these things are missing in our lives and in any of the many illegal laws that wreck everything. I call them the 3 P’s:
1. Precaution
2. Prevention
3. Power of the Pur$e
The Precautionary Principle, FIRST DO NO HARM, is not used.
Prevention is not part of any sane way that business or so-called public agencies work. If it were, we would not have the massive number of illnesses that surround all of us.
Therefore, I am calling on EVERYONE in the US and Canada to join together in a PEACEFUL, NATIONS-WIDE GENERAL STRIKE FROM FRIDAY AUGUST 31 through TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 4.
This is the long Labor Day weekend. Friday August 31, most people will take off to have a 4-day weekend. Saturday and Sunday September 1 and 2, most people are off anyway. Monday September 3 is a legal holiday. So, I am asking that everyone take off an extra day on Tuesday September 4. Don’t forget, millions of Americans have already lost their jobs; and millions more have lost their homes. We are not in some “Downturn” or “Recession.” WE ARE IN A VAST DELIBERATELY CREATED DEPRESSION. This was all planned to destroy our countries and the rest of the planet.
So, next week: fill up your gas tank (if you drive) and please stock up on safer food: NO GMO’s, NO ASPARTAME, NO FLUORIDE, NO CHLORINE, NO CHEMICALS. DON’T USE OR BUY ANYTHING PACKAGED IN PLASTICS. DON’T BUY ANYTHING WITH SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES. DON’T BUY PESTICIDES. DON’T SHOP. PERIOD! The corporate bottom line is “PROFIT.” We are all expendable for that –just as long as there is another un-informed consumer who will take a dead person’s place. How many of our friends and family have died from some environmentally related disease? So, it becomes perpetual illness and debt slavery for us, while Big Pharma, Agri-businesses, and the banksters continue to reap whirlwind profits from us! Can we connect all these “dots”? It is all intentional.
What Would Happen For 5 Days, If There Are No Profits?
We have un-tapped power as consumers that we have never truly used. We do NOT have to participate in our own poisoning and demise by buying ANY product or food that is toxic! THIS IS THE POWER OF our collective PUR$E. The buck truly does stop at the cash register. We MUST NOT support corporations that sell products filled with poisons! These are wrecking us! So, don’t shop. Don’t buy items with any taxes during these 5 days. Don’t buy from the big box stores that have put locals out of business.
Support local organic farmer’s markets, if you have to pick up anything during these five days! Network with friends and organizations that are helping to uncover all these lies, deceptions, and criminal activities.
Just go home and stay home! Be with those you love. Have real and quality time. No TV! Stay away from cell phones and texting! Use this time to re-connect and share positive, creative, and loving time with friends and family. Listen to music together. Read out loud together: poetry, short stories. The list is endless. Quality human time together is rare these days.
We must change the cultural paradigm of hate, and fear, and violence! This was planned to divide us and create perpetual war. We always have the opportunity to re-evaluate what we think we know based on new knowledge. We must raise our collective energy to our higher realms of consciousness. We must conduct our lives from the highest positive energy of human potential. We must go towards awareness and the LIGHT! For Peace. For common dreams and aspirations. For tranquility among all of us. For kindness. For friendship. For compassion. For healing.
We all have these qualities in us! We must work from our hearts. We must work together to build a world filled with love and caring. We must do this for the immediate survival of Gaia, our belovèd Mother Earth. We are all part of Gaia; and we must share the individual and collective responsibilities of being her loving caretakers. The trees and plants give us oxygen that is essential for life. We give them carbon dioxide that is necessary for their survival. We can compare Gaia’s oceans and waterways with our own bloodstream. Both are under siege! This is a web-of-life that is being destroyed minute by minute.
WE CAN FIX THIS! PLEASE, LET US JOIN TOGETHER in a chorus of peaceful voices and share information, before we are all chipped and unable to do anything. Our companion animals have already been chipped for the past few years under the lies that it helps track them, if they’re lost. No one reports that RFID chipping causes cancer at the site where the dog or cat was implanted with these poisons. Test areas are already in place to chip young children in schools.
Let us spend this time together building a new planet –instead of working for worthless “green toilet paper.” Let us take this time to create wonderful new bonds of love and friendship and peace. We can do this and build a world filled with all the joys that are truly part of life.
When Ludwig von Beethoven (1770-1827) completed his 9th Symphony in 1824, he was deaf! He transcended this crushing life affliction, bereft of sound, to compose a masterpiece. He heard the notes in his heart. He was able to create music that is timeless and filled with hope and joy. Here is a link for the “Ode to Joy” that is part of this symphony. Leonard Bernstein conducts the Vienna Philharmonic:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_5z0m7cs0A
Let us join together to lift our spirits and lives towards higher consciousness and create a new and healing direction. As my blessèd grandmother used to say: “It is better to reach for the stars, and only get to the tree tops, than to reach for a bush and get there.” We can reach for the stars in harmony and love. This is the direction that we must go together to become peaceful “star” nations and have a jeweled and healthy planet. We can create a harmony of the spheres in our own hearts and lives and in a new multi-verse of peace and love. WE CAN DO THIS!
NOTES:
Here are Beethoven’s lyrics for:
ODE TO JOY (Friedrich Schiller)
BARITONE, QUARTET, AND CHORUS
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.
May he who has had the fortune
To gain a true friend
And he who has won a noble wife
Join in our jubilation!
Yes, even if he calls but one soul
His own in all the world.
But he who has failed in this
Must steal away alone and in tears.
All the world’s creatures
Draw joy from nature’s breast;
Both the good and the evil
Follow her rose-strewn path.
She gave us kisses and wine
And a friend loyal unto death;
She gave lust for life to the lowliest,
And the Cherub stands before God.
TENOR SOLO AND CHORUS
Joyously, as his suns speed
Through Heaven’s glorious order,
Hasten, Brothers, on your way,
Exulting as a knight in victory.
CHORUS
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.
Joy, daughter of Elysium
Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Joy, beautiful spark of Gods!
Daughter of Elysium,
Joy, beautiful spark of Gods!

Thousands of students have rallied against tuition fee hikes in Quebec, an action organizers have trumpeted as a renewal of the protest movement.
The demonstrators marched through downtown Montreal on Wednesday ahead of Quebec’s general election that will be held on September 4th.The voting will decide whether Premier Jean Charest’s Liberal Party is reelected – who’ve run on a plan to drastically increase tuition fees to US$ 1,794 over seven years, a hike of 82 percent.
While the numbers of protesters were smaller than the hundreds of thousands seen last spring – according to the Montreal Gazette – organizers of Wednesday’s protest said it was the largest planned demonstration seen during an electoral campaign and that it signaled the revitalization of the protest movement.
“We already have far more than seen in the summer protests held on the 22nd of each month which drew about 10,000 people,” Jeremie Bedard-Wien, spokesman for CLASSE, the largest and most militant of the student groups, said, according to the paper. “The mobilization is starting up again.”
Student associations FEUQ and FECQ called for students to vote en masse to oust the Liberal government that introduced the fee hikes.
Despite many students taking decision to return to class, some intend to remain on strike, protesting the planned tuition hike and controversial Bill 78 – an emergency law that restricted demonstrations and introduced enormous fines.
“The strike is continuing in many faculties and many departments and universities and it will continue afterwards,” Bedard-Wien said as quoted by The Canadian Press. “What we’ve put forward for students is this idea of popular mobilization.”
The spokesman for CLASSE believes that the current election – and the avoidance of student issues – explains why many of the protesters distrust the traditional political parties.
“We recognize that the three main parties that can cease power haven’t made much of a case in support of education,” Bedard-Wien said. “They haven’t supported us much during the strike and we don’t expect much from them at all — and that is why we argue for sustained mobilization.”
Many opposition parties, such as Parti Québécois, Québec solidaire, Option Nationale, and workers unions, have voiced their support of the student protest movement.
Politician Marie Malavoy, from center-left Parti Québécois, urged students not to pay their fees for the semester. Her party promises to scrap Charest’s planned tuition fee increase if they get elected.
Premier Jean Charest had called on students to go to classes and said that he hopes the issue will be resolved by September’s elections.

In every government and every civilization that has ever existed it has always been the authoritarian ruling cabal who benefit from horrendous acts of violence. Governments have a documented history of attacking their own people through “false flag attacks” which are blamed on their political enemies in an effort to gain “Order Out Of Chaos”. In the 21st century these tactics will continuously be used by the global elite to gain more control so we must also continue to expose these agendas and to shed light on the deeds that are done in the dark.
