Canadian Police "Arrested the Wrong Man!"

Video: Canadian Arrested for Trying to Arrest Bush

Comment by Talk Show Host Meria Heller:

Arrested the Wrong Man

John Splitting the Sky is a HERO and did nothing wrong. He wasn't the one that should be arrested. As usual the cops are doing the dirty work for the real criminals. When will they wake up and realize how wrong they are?

Press Conference and Rally for Splitting the Sky: March 24th, 2009

SPLITTING THE SKY vs BUSH et al

Tue. March 24, 7 pm – 9 pm

Calgary Area Outdoor Council

1111 Memorial Dr. NW

On Tuesday, March 17, Splitting the Sky, a Mohawk activist from Six Nations now residing in Chase, BC, evoked international law and the Canada War Crimes Act by asking the RCMP to arrest ex-US-president G.W. Bush for crimes against humanity as he spoke at the Telus Convention Centre in downtown Calgary.

When police refused his demand to uphold the law, Splitting the Sky attempted to carry out a citizen’s arrest of Bush, pushing his way through the police line with his hands over his head yelling, “I am not touching anyone.” He was arrested and beaten, sustaining a partial concussion and massive hernia. Splitting the Sky was charged with assault and released on $500 bail after being held in jail for 24 hours.

Splitting the Sky is charged with three counts of assault and obstruction of justice. He must return to Calgary court on March 25th at 9:30 a.m. He plans to launch a legal campaign to indict the RCMP, Mayor of Calgary and others for complicity in war crimes for allowing Bush to enter without arresting him.

On Tuesday, March 24, Splitting the Sky will speak in Calgary about his arrest and pending trial, focusing on his campaign to draw international attention to the need for indicting and arresting G.W. Bush for crimes against humanity.

Civilians Enforcing War Crimes Act Arrested While Criminal Gets Away

Civilians Enforcing War Crimes Act Arrested While Criminal Gets Away - Press Release, March 19, 2009 - Indigenous activist Splitting The Sky attempts citizen's arrest of war criminal George W. Bush. Two civilians who tried to arrest George Bush while he was speaking in Calgary last Tuesday were instead arrested by Calgary Police. One man, Splitting The Sky, was held overnight in jail. Splitting The Sky, a resident of Chase, BC, was charged with assault of police officers and obstruction of justice. The second man, Kelly Hostland from Calgary, was released without charges. The two men, not connected, were attending a protest rally against George Bush outside the Telus Convention Centre. Two other men were also arrested and have been released. Under Canada's Crimes Against Humanity & War Crimes Act (2000), anyone reasonably suspected of war crimes or crimes against humanity is indictable under the law, regardless of their status as leader of a nation. Section 6 of the Act explicitly points the responsibility for the crimes to the 'superior' or 'military commander'. "When citizens of democracies worldwide see that the democratic rule of law has been degraded down to military commissions, then it is necessary for us to resist and indict the war criminals. If the police won't do it, then we have to deputize ourselves and arrest these people," says Splitting The Sky, who holds dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship. "We need a Nuremberg type trial for George Bush and officials in his administration," he added. Splitting The Sky successfully entered the Telus Convention Centre, where Bush was scheduled to speak to a select crowd of invited business and political leaders, intending, he says, to make a citizen's arrest of Bush for violations of the War Crimes Act. He was apprehended by CPS before he could reach the former president. "As a Calgarian, I am embarrassed that the world would think that we would welcome George Bush here and that he was invited to come," says Kelly Hostland. Both men have since been released from jail. The protest rally capped a week of anti-Bush events that included a mock trial, public forum and press conference as well as a mini film festival. Approximately 400 people were at the rally. Splitting The Sky plans to carry on a campaign to give George Bush his day in court. He's organized a panel discussion examining the case against Bush on Tuesday, March 24 at the Calgary Area Outdoor Council. The event starts at 7PM. Contact: Splitting the Sky Cell: (250) 371 0562 Email: splitting_the_sky@yahoo.com Tavis Ford, rally organizer Cell: (403) 606 7034 Email: tavis@peoplevbush.ca Donations for the Splitting the Sky Legal Defense Fund are urgently needed.

Splitting the Sky vs George War Criminal Bush

In case you have not heard, I attended and participated in the protest in Calgary, outside the Telus Convention Centre where George 'War Criminal' Bush was illegally in Canada to give a speech to the Calgary business elite (aka the Fascism Support Club), leading AlberTEXANS from the Oil, Land Theft and Pollution Industry, and the Canadian War Industry, and sponsored by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce (aka Aiders and Abetters, Inc.) and the Law(less) firm of Bennet Jones.

According to Canadian law, anyone suspected upon reasonable and probable grounds of being a war criminal is not allowed in Canada and is to be barred, or arrested upon arrival, or if found in Canada. There is more than ample evidence available to show that the 'Babbling Bush' falls perfectly within the description of "War Criminal"!

While outside the convention centre, I asked the police several times to arrest Bush, which they refused. As they had abdicated their duty and were now complicit in war crimes and 'aiding and abetting' a war criminal. I felt compelled to intervene on behalf of the many thousands of victims of the Bush administration between 2001 and 2009. I felt it was my moral and civic duty.

Watch what happened:

I was taken into custody where I was beaten, my glasses broken, and held overnight to see the JP. On the morning of March 18th, I was finally released on $500 bail (posted by friends and supporters in Calgary)

I wish to thank Tony, Tavis, John Duddy, Nathan Moulton and many others from Calgary and Lethbridge for their support, Gail Davidson from Lawyers Against the War and my old friend Ramsey Clarke for trying to assist me while in custody. Special thanks to Wayne Prante of the 'Coalition of the Willing' and Travis of We Are Change Vancouver for helping to keep every one informed, and so many others for your concern, thoughts, prayers, and offers to help. I really appreciate it!

Dr. Bill Deagle of the Nutrimedical Report on GCN also interviewed me briefly on short notice, just after my release. We will hook up for a longer interview, if not on the 19th, then in the coming days, depending how fast I recover. Thanks Dr. Bill.

Thanks also to James Corbett for this wonderful article that was posted on his site, and later picked up Alex Jones and some other major alternative news sites.

Thank you gutless PM Harper Canadian Government, Leaders of the Non-Oppositon Parties, and the Calgary Goon Squad for being the cowards that you are, for arresting and charging me instead of your buddy Bush, and as such, now giving me a public platform on this issue. See you in court!

And last but not least, thanks to my wonderful wife She Keeps the Door for her understanding, and of course to my family.


Stay tuned for news regarding The Splitting the Sky Defense Fund!

I will need your help folks.
