This Week on Gorilla Radio

by C. L. Cook

This week, Canadian citizen, Sandra Finley going against the numbers with the Canadian census; Jon Elmer keeping watch on the Palestinian genocide; Janine Bandcroft brings us up to speed with all that's good going-on in and around the south island in the coming week.

 

 

"I'm looking for 62 Canadians" begins Sandra Finley's plea for fellowship addressed to the nation. The 62 are those among us who, like Sandra, defied the New Government of Canada's census last, because it was conducted by one of the planet's most profligate killers of men, women and children, the Lockheed Martin corporation. Sandra, sensibly refused to deliver her biography to this odious entity, as ordered on pain of punishment for refusal by "our" federal overlords, and is now targeted for retribution lest any of the rest of us Canadians deem it better to refuse tyranny than bow before it. Here from the edge of Western Civilization, where police state apparatus protects against the citizen's knowledge of our society's true nature, and questioning the power once assumed to be working for you and me with Sandra Finley in the first half.

And; Half-a-World away, billions of Canadian dollars are spent annually killing, maiming, and imprisoning the citizens of the country formerly known as Afghanistan, but in-country, where the enablers of this seemingly endless war foot the bill, the sheep shorn of their labours to maintain the new national militancy are given little information on just why this carnage should continue.

And; under Stephen Harper's leadership, Canada was first among nations to defy the duly returned democratic will of the embattled Palestinian people in electing fairly the Hamas political movement there, and punish those same with a cessation of humanitarian assistance; assistance vital because of the appalling policies of the racist and murderous regime holding Palestine by the throat, Israel. Indeed, Mr. Harper brags about his devotion to the world's second-most prominent State-terrorist, while denying the [H]olocaust they daily enact. Jon Elmer is a Canadian photo-journalist who has lived in, and reported from the occupied territories in Palestine and is too a long-time friend of this show. Jon Elmer and keeping watch on Israel's unfettered genocide in the second segment.

And; Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with all that's good going on in and around the south island in the coming week. But first; Sandra Finley and not paying the Devil his due.
