STS provoked by cops and agents, while ignored by Toronto stop war coalition

Dear Friends,

I am sending this to you and would ask you to read Professor Tony Hall's notes on the events leading up to the demonstration on May 29th, 2009 and take notice that he points out that the organizers refused to allow me to speak at this "Arrest Bush/Clinton" demo. (http://warcriminalsout.com/)

One of the organizer of the event whose name is Nadine and I do not yet know her last name told my friend Wayne Prante that "We don't support that!!!" when he politely asked her if I could address the crowd.

It is apparent that she and a few others collaborated with the cops to racistly marginalize me from that event and I am looking further into the possibility that they were aware of the Bush secret service teams that attempted to set me up, by telling me that they had an officer in the field that told them that I told him that I was going to go into the Metro Convention Centre and "hang Bush", (read by implication "assassinate Bush").

I have many witnesses to this provoking of the police forces on site including an independent film crew that witnessed the police units on hand radios telling each other where Splitting the Sky was sitting and calling for backup, we have filmed interviews with the film crew as to what they saw and heard which will appear on the Internet soon.

The sad point of this unfortunate marginalization by the organizers of this event is that they are the same people who organized the tele-conference of George Galloway when he was refused entry into Canada by the RCMP citing the Immigrations and Refugee Act of Canada for fraternizing with terrorists organizations, which is the very same act that I tried to ARREST BUSH on March 17th 2009 by breaking the police line and risking my life to exemplify the need to ARREST war criminals BUSH/CHENEY/CLINTON et al for the crimes of torture and mass murder.

Last of all for the moment, I went over to this Nadine and asked her politely what she meant by "We are not about that", when snubbed to address the people, wherein she replied "she didn't need to explain anything to me"!

My last polite words to her were, "the position of some of the organizers of this demo is what some of us call controlled opposition", to that I she replied "call it what you want".

To all that read this initial report let it be known that I still feel that the people who attended the event were very spirited and that they/we made our voices heard around the world.

I am only questioning what I consider to be some very suspect motives of "some" who infiltrated the inner core of the organizing body of the Toronto anti war (so called "coalition" minus any Native representation on whose land the demo was held).

If she feels she owes no explanation for her racist marginalization of myself on that day then maybe she will be compelled to talk to non native professionals in the form of an inquiry of some sort.

Protester to fight charges

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- A B.C. political activist arrested in Calgary during a protest against former U.S. president George W. Bush says he is going to fight the charge against him.

John Boncore, an actor who often uses his aboriginal name Splitting the Sky, was released but faces a charge of obstructing a peace officer connected with the March 17 demonstration.

The 57-year-old* Chase, B.C., resident was at the front of a line of protesters objecting to a visit by the former president, who made his first public speaking engagement in Calgary before 1,500 people at a $400-a-plate luncheon.

Boncore is a 57*-year-old one-time activist with the American Indian Movement who came to prominence during a 31-day standoff between the RCMP and Natives occupying a ranch they said was sacred land at Gustafsen Lake, B.C., in 1995.

Boncore, one of four people arrested in Calgary, said he told the RCMP that Bush should be arrested as a suspected war criminal.

Instead, he said they pushed him to the ground.

"They smashed my head on the ground and broke my glasses and gave me a mild concussion," he said. "Snipers came out from everywhere."

Video of his arrest circulated on the Internet.

"I'm getting kudos from all over the world," Boncore said.

He said the arrest has only heightened his determination to see justice served to those many feel are responsible for violations of human rights in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Ramsey Clark, a former U.S. attorney general under Lyndon B. Johnson and now a human rights advocate, is representing him.

NOTE: in the original article they state that my age is 67. I am in fact 57 years old, so I made this one correction to what they reported.

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 later gave this interview with Raymond Geisler from CHLY-FM in Nanaimo, BC (along with my friend Prof. Tony Hall)

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.
