Carney Government's Capitulation to U.S. Incursions
into Canada for "National Security"
Dangerous Measures Further Extend U.S. Police and Military Powers into Canada
Through a "readout" issued by Canada's Department of Justice, the people of this country were informed about an August 27 meeting called for by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi with Canada's Attorney General and Justice Minister Sean Fraser, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangree and Canada's "Fentanyl Czar" Kevin Brosseau. All the Justice Department said was that it "held a productive first meeting." In language typically intended to obfuscate, the Justice Department merely added:
"They
discussed shared priorities and explored ways to strengthen
collaboration between their departments. It was an opportunity to
highlight Canada's ongoing efforts to keep communities safe on both
sides of our shared border in the fight against fentanyl and
transnational criminal
organizations, to strengthen the criminal justice system and border
security, to support victims, and to uphold the rule of law.
"They committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue on key issues of mutual importance."
What the Justice Department did not inform Canadians about is that the U.S. is expanding its "Joint Task Force Alpha" to "now cover our northern border and Canada, of course, and all of our maritime borders." The expanded operation will include the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The U.S. Joint Task Alpha was established on June 7, 2021. In the language that hides the increasing areas of life which are being put under direct federal control and treated as a matter of crime and punishment, Task Force Alpha is described as "a joint law enforcement effort that will marshal the investigative and prosecutorial resources of the Department of Justice, in partnership with DHS [Department of Homeland Security], to disrupt and dismantle human smuggling and trafficking networks that exploit and endanger migrants to the United States from the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, and from Mexico. The Joint Task Force will investigate and prosecute those who are criminally smuggling and trafficking individuals into the United States, with a particular focus on individuals and networks that abuse, exploit, or endanger those being smuggled, pose national security threats, or have links to transnational organized crime."[1]
Thus, the "readout" by the Department of Justice is amply revealed to be typical Carney government cover-up for Canada's capitulation to the escalating U.S. incursions into Canadian territory in the name of law enforcement, "national security" and "narco-terrorism," with which it is cooperating behind the backs of the people.
What the U.S. is up to was further revealed when Bondi held a press conference in Tampa, Florida on September 4, where she announced that the U.S. Department of Justice would "pursue the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations," many of which "are now classified as foreign terrorist organizations because they pose an extreme threat to not only our country, but to our world. They traffic drugs, weapons and people." These are the kind of actions the "War on Terror" unleashed by then President George W. Bush after 9/11 have given rise to, 24 years later.
Bondi went on to say that her department was "investigating and prosecuting their crimes more aggressively than ever, with Joint Task Force Alpha." She said that to that end, she was working with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
"We will strengthen our collaboration with foreign law enforcement throughout this world to protect not only their citizens but ours and return these criminals" to the U.S. "for prosecution," she asserted.
Bondi
also addressed Vermont's and New York's borders with Canada, claiming
she is "seeing unprecedented traffic" from migrants, with law
enforcement encountering people "from 97 countries." Bondi went on to
say that since President Trump had taken office, Joint Task Force Alpha
has charged 56
people, including someone who attempted "to bring in Indian nationals
who were eventually found dead in a blizzard." Last June, she
continued, the U.S. arrested a Canadian-American citizen who was
bringing people over the St. Lawrence River into the U.S.
As if the U.S. cares a fig about the safety of human beings and totally ignoring that it just bombed a boat with 11 people aboard to kingdom come in international waters off the coast of Venezuela, Bondi lamented: "One of the boats capsized, killing a family, including two children under the age of three."
Meanwhile, on the southern border, the U.S. is responsible for hundreds of unnecessary deaths, with many people dying of thirst in the desert as the U.S. illegally blocks entry into the country.
During her Florida press conference, Bondi was asked by reporters if there were any connections between the cartels operating on the southern border that have been designated as transnational criminal organizations and "foreign terrorist organizations" and known organizations in New York and Vermont.
Her answer: "[Y]es, these transnational criminal organizations, since we have secured completely our southern border, are finding various ways to come into our country."
"The northern border, it always has been, but it's gotten much worse, much more prevalent because it's a multi-billion dollar business, the smuggling of drugs, guns and humans and so they're not going to quit, once we secured our southern border. But yes, we're stopping them at our northern border and that's why we're also increasing Joint Task Force Alpha to include our maritime ports as well," Bondi said.
This was corroborated by United States Attorney for the District of Vermont, Michael P. Drescher who dutifully repeated the U.S. narrative which presents the brutal U.S. deployment of police and military powers against workers, immigrants, and refugees as legitimate. He spoke of the "gravity of human smugglers at the northern border," because "they aid and abet those who are seeking to enter the country illegally"; "they exploit those who are desperate and misguided enough to try to enter the country illegally"; "such crossings frequently involve trekking through forests and swamps in inhospitable and dangerous circumstances"; "they facilitate the unvetted aliens entering the United States for unknown and possibly nefarious purposes."
"In short," Drescher said, "offences such as those charged pose a risk to the nation's security." All of this was said without evidence and absent of concern for the human beings involved, the law or due process. Their rights as human beings are trampled in the mud as a matter of course.
These are the latest justifications for brutal violence and terrorism against peoples both sides of the border.
