Seventh anniversary of September 11
Our Security Lies in the Fight for the Rights of All!
On this day, TML expresses its deepest
sympathies for the relatives of those who lost their lives seven year
ago as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11 and of the
millions who have been killed in
the so-called "war on terror" unleashed by the administration of George
W. Bush, with the help of the government of Canada and "allies," since
then. We
express our opposition to torture, rendition
to torture, indefinite detention and indefinite states of exception and
suspension of civil liberties. We reiterate the commitment of the
Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) to support and contribute
to the resistance of the peoples of the world to imperialist wars of
aggression and occupation led by the U.S.
imperialists in which Canada has become a war party. We call on the
Canadian working class and people to embark on a clear path which gives
rise to an anti-war government in this country.
Predictably, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's
statement
on September 11 endorsed the unacceptable approach of his government in
tandem with that of the Bush administration to the important issue of
security. Besides remembering "the lives lost in
this terrible tragedy,
including the 24 Canadians who were killed
that day," Harper declared that September 11 "is a reminder" of the
"threat of terrorism -- to our values, our institutions, our lives..."
"The Government of Canada remains vigilant to this threat and will
continue to take action to ensure the security of Canada and the safety
of all Canadians," Harper concluded. Far from it, the Harper government
is threatening the security of all.
On this day, it is most important
to take a stand which
clearly states that our security lies in the fight for the rights of
all. All renditions to torture, all torture, all Guantanamos, all
so-called security certificates and violations of civil rights, all
demagogy in the name of democracy and freedom, must
be strenuously fought and defeated.
On this occasion, we also recall
the atrocities
carried
out against the people of Chile in the U.S. coup d'etat
against that sister nation 35 years ago and express our deepest
sympathies and respect for all the relatives of the killed and
disappeared in that country and in Argentina and other
sister nations as a result of Operation Condor and the subsequent dirty
wars in Central America.
All Power to the Resistance to the
Phoney "War on Terror"!
All Out to Support the Fight in Defence of the
Rights of All!
