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!
