On Remembrance Day
The national ceremony of Remembrance Day was beamed across the country – the bagpipes wailing after the silence in honour of those who have fallen.
The questions came surging.
Why are we still in Afghanistan?
Why now does Harper decide to announce that Canada will continue to send troops to Afghanistan?
After the CBC radio broadcast of Remembrance Day we heard an episode of Afcanada -the radio play.
This was the point of remembering,
It is a political drama played out on the unconsciousness of the people of Canada.
Nobody tells the truth of why we are there.
Our mainstream journalists are embedded in the action and embedded in the lies that have unfolded without asking the real questions.
Why are we supporting war lords who do not believe in any form of democracy?
Why do we not question the corruption and deceit at the highest levels of the Afghan government?
Why do we cover up information about turning over captured soldiers to be tortured?
Why are Canadian soldiers dying for this?
It is the time to seek out the truth about the real Afghanistan.
We should read the other Harper – Harpers Magazine to discover what we should all know.
It is time to muzzle the generals, the war mongers, those who profit off the misery of others- the blood for oil - and get Canada out of Afghanistan.
Now.
November 12 addendum. Harper announces he does not have to go to parliament to okay the decision to extend the Canadian forces time in Afghanistan. He says he cn do this by executive decree. Harperland continues.
