Pure Evil: The Current FBI, NSA, CIA, RCMP, CSE, CSIS, and the Canadian Human Rights Commission Leadership That Should Be Prosecuted & Thrown In Jail or Hung

Email Letter I Sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - Of Course No Reply.  Email Letter I Sent to Head of Public Safety Canada, Marco Mendicino - Of Course No Reply.  See here for more about the RCMP. (When you click through on the link, be sure to scroll down and go through all of the articles about the RCMP.) 

See here for why CSIS and the CIA only hire sociopathic narcissists. See here for how intelligence agencies think they are God and lie all the time. 

The people below are responsible for all of the laws the NSA, CIA and the Canadian CSE and CSIS are breaking---and believe me, there are tons of them. These organizations are above the law. These people are running organizations that are funded by the taxpayers and they are using classified technology on the population. They are complete psychopaths. That is not an overstatement.

For more information on classified technology, see here and here. See here for a list of articles about the organized stalking and discrediting techniques they practice. It is interesting that the FBI leadership page below shows a lot more than the CIA or the NSA. We need to know every piece of trash who works for the intelligence agencies, they are treasonous psychopaths. The CIA is pure evil, there is no other word for it. They work with organized crime all the time. Also, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in the United States is absolutely laughable. It is full of nothing but career politicians that sit around and do absolutely nothing. They are pathetic and they are liars. 

If you read the Canadian Bill of Rights, it is actually the job of the Minister of Justice to notify others when laws are being passed that go against the Bill of Rights. But, no one cares and Canada is a pathetic country. Then there is the Canadian Human Rights Commission who I've personally talked to on the phone a few times. These people are the most despicable frauds in our country. Can you believe they actually have a link to the U.N.'s Declaration of Human Rights on their website, and yet, all they seem to care about is if someone called you a racist name at work or insulted your gender. Absolute total insanity.  Human experimentation, criminal harassment and torture are all fine in Canada.

Email Letter I Sent to Head of Public Safety Canada, Marco Mendicino - Of Course No Reply

Below is the email I sent to Marco Mendicino, here is his Wikipedia bio. He is the the Minister of Public Safety in Canada and is also responsible for the oversight of the RCMP.

This is the equivalent of  the head of Homeland Security in the United States.

Of course, I never got any reply. 

===========================================================================

Hello Mr. Mendicino,

I am writing to you because I have been experiencing problems with technology. Specifically, brain-computer interfaces and nanotechnology. I am experiencing abuse from people in the United States and Canada that are using electromagnetic waves and ultrasound to hurt me, track me and read my thoughts. The technology is inside my body. I have compiled a blog full of evidence that this technology exists, you can see the blog here:  

https://listoftechnology.blogspot.com/

1. My question to you, are you aware of this technology or if this is happening to anyone in Canada?

2. To your knowledge, has Public Safety Canada had any reports of this over the years?

3. If this is happening and you DO NOT know about it, would you think it's a problem that has to be dealt with? 

Thank you,

Shane Hurren

Absolute Must Read: Microwave Weapons, Torture and Evil Stalking Snake Psychopaths

Update: I originally posted this in April of 2017. My situation has now become worse. I was sent to the hospital on March 22, 2018, (I'm sure the day was just a coincidence,) with severe pains in my stomach and a heart rate of 29. The Mission Hospital can validate this, I am telling the truth. Since then my health has just become worse. (By the way, did you know that the terrorist attack happened in England on March 22, in 2017? Did you know the terrorist attack that happened in Belgium in 2016 was on March 22? ) Interesting the Skull and Bones 322. All coincidences right?  

Besides the people listed below, there are many organized stalking losers in the town of Mission, Maple Ridge, and Abbotsford that are involved in this. The police (RCMP and Abbotsford police,) are completely complicit in covering this up. See here and here for proof of this. Canada has officially become a Banana Republic.

You Must Read All 21 Of The Tweets Below!

See here and here for more about classified technology, see here for more about intelligence tactics. See here for more about slandering and discrediting people with hi-technology video and picture editing. What do the people listed below all have in common?  They are being motivated by a Zionist agenda to do what they are doing... whether they know it or not.  So, either they are working with intelligence, they are working with organized crime somewhere, or they are involved with drugs, (see here for the CIA history and involvement with drugs,) or they are Zionists. 

This is how sad countries like the United States and Canada have become, it is absolutely sickening and pathetic. It is important to know that the intelligence agencies, from their very inception, have always been attached to Wall Street and the banks. They are the real ones who control the drug trade. (For more articles about intelligence agencies and their connections to drugs, see all the articles here, scroll down to read and view them all.) 

Intelligence agencies have always worked with organized crime. There have also been strong connections between Silicon Valley and intelligence agencies right from the beginning. These nutjobs rule our countries. Did you know that the FBI and the RCMP literally receive their intelligence from them? Some of the people below know each other. This is a good example. See here for more about vigilante groups that work with the Police and Neighbourhood Watch. There are many people who are involved in Wall Street who know others in intelligence, military intelligence, counterintelligence in law enforcement, Silicon Valley, organized crime, Hollywood, and academia. They all work together. See here for more about FBI InfraGard. 

This is the modern-day Stasi Octopus, at the top, it's run by the banks, organized crime, intelligence agencies and Silicon Valley, it then filters down into the community level. It involves everyone from informants for the police, drug dealers, drug addicts, neighborhood watch, businessmen and women, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, government employees, teachers, nurses, ambulance drivers, firemen, trades personnel, (for example; pest control and anti-graffiti cleaning companies or property management,) cross-fit centers, Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts places, gyms, vitamin and supplement stores, law enforcement, private security and security guards, writers, doctors, lawyers, journalists, actors, sports figures, priests and religious leaders, addiction recovery groups, university professors, waiters and hotel personnel. This is exactly what it was like in East Germany. There isn't one group they didn't infiltrate. Now your society has become just as sad, our countries have turned into Stasi nightmares.

The Corruption of the RCMP and How They Work With Organized Crime

In addition to the following article, please see here and here about the ADL, how it works with the RCMP and the FBI, and its ties to organized crime. See here for the strong Jewish organized crime presence in Canada, see here for the Zionist takeover of Canada. See here and here for previous articles regarding the little known nor talked about topic of Jewish organized crime.

=============================================================================

Some of the RCMP  are using classified technology.  (See enumerated previous posts below this article regarding the RCMP, CSIS, and the CSE.) These corrupt RCMP officers work with organized crime, CSIS and the CSE. They know how drugs get in and out of the country at the top of these organizations. It's a complete joke. See this post about the CIA's connections with drugs. Do you think it is any different in Canada?

Organized Crime is running Canada. It's 100% true.

It is Zionism at the very top of the RCMP.  CSIS was formed in 1984 under the supervision of the influential Zionist Bob Kaplan when the intelligence was taken away from the RCMP. This was part of the strategy, this way they could feed the "intelligence" to the RCMP and provide their ideas of terrorism to them. This was around the same time as the Ernst Zundel trial and when Reagan was in power in the United States. Reagan came to power with the help of organized crime. (See here, here and here.) These same powers were and are in control of Canada, (also see here and here.) Did you know that Canada is currently trying to wrestle power away from Zionist bankers over at the Bank of Canada? See here for the secrets of banking and learning about the money changers. 

As far as Ernst Zundel, it doesn't matter if he was right or not, what matters is; 1.) That such a thing even had to go to trial to begin with 2.) How he was treated when going up to the courthouse. I have never seen any criminal in Canada get attacked like him while going into court. Think about that... with all the heinous crimes and criminals we have had in this country. NEVER! In fact, I have never seen anything like that in any country. It just goes to show you how powerful these people are and how controversial this topic is. It was like the Manson trial of Canada.

Now, see here for the origins of Homeland Security. See here for a collection of tweets about Homeland Security and its connections to Zionism. See here for the strong connections between Israel, Canada, and the United States. See here for the Canada-Israel “Public Security” Agreement for Counter-Terrorism & Homeland security. See here for how the Canadian government is cracking down on criticism of Israel. 

These powerful interests are running the country and feeding you a false perception of your country and the world through the media.  Ask yourself one question, why is the media not talking about any of the info on my blog?

NOT EVEN YOUR TAXPAYER SUPPORTED
 CBC  WILL SAY A THING. YOU PAY FOR IT!  

This is such important information it can change the way you look at your country and the world. Why won't they say anything?  It is because these are the real people that control your country and they have taken away your rights with Bill C-51, just like the Patriot Act and the NDAA have accomplished in the United States.

Imagine if you really knew the truth of your government and how much they are lying to you. We Canadians should be doing something about this NOW.

Three Important News Clips That Refer to the Truth of What is Happening in North America

The news clips below tie into what is happening in Canada and the United States with electromagnetic weapons and the weaponization of nanotechnology. (Also see here.) What these people are doing is psychopathic and is in unison with what Zbigniew Brzezinski is saying here.

The Israeli Lobby: Israel Caught Subverting UK Government- This is Also Happening in Canada

Must watch videos below. If you think this is bad in the UK, you haven't seen anything yet. Canada is 100% occupied territory. As I point out here, this has been happening in Canada for a long period of time, Bill-C-51 just put the final nail in the coffin. It essentially allows them to remove all your rights as a Canadian citizen and torture you without a trial with classified technology and electromagnetic weapons, under the suspicion of being a presumed threat or terrorist.

But that's not all, they also smear you so no one will listen to you (see here and here,) and stalk and harass you with access to your brain to drive you crazy. Yes, they truly are that insane and evil. They are using techniques from the East German Stasi. Most of the people that are doing this are Zionists with connections to intelligence, but also, organized crime. Of course, this is being applied against those who are deemed a threat to the state. To see what is happening in Canada and the United States under these supposed protective laws, go here.

Where Is The Money? Corruption Pentagon

See past posts here and here. The United States is being hollowed out and turned into a Banana Republic, and neither Trump nor Hillary will change it. The same is happening in Canada. Even if you don't think this is true, Canada is directly influenced by what is happening in the United States.

Now you know why I am dealing with so many psychos in the United States right now, it is completely out of control. Most are in intelligence, organized crime, the financial industry, banking and Silicon Valley.

As I have said previously, the United States is being turned into something similar to when Boris Yeltsin was the President of Russia. This was when Russian Jewish organized crime was taking over the country. This is why you have this, this, this and this happening in Canada and the United States. You should also learn more about classified technology, intelligence tactics, and discrediting someone with Hi-Technology.

Holy Crap! Misplaced $9,000,000,000,000! Where Did it Go? Another Sign of the Rampant Corruption in the United States and How it's Influencing the Whole World

Watch the video below! See my previous post on the money changers here. Also, see this post about the mass scale debauchery in the United States government - right up to the highest levels - including the NSA and CIA. You can also see this video of the former head of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan where he admits that the Federal Reserve is above the law and answers to no one. This is also an interesting video about why Israel gets away with murder. 

Did you know Canada is currently trying to wrestle this power away from these Zionist bankers? (The media is finally beginning to cover it, see here, here, here, here and here for more on this.) Go here to learn more about the Rothschilds and how they were instrumental in the founding of the state of Israel, and why this was a large part of what World War I and World War II was about. See here for my previous article on Trump and how he is not offering any meaningful alternative because he does not identify the real problem.

$9 trillion missing from the Federal

 Reserve. Kinda misplaced it Huh?

Hypothetical: "Can I have an extra 2 years to pay my $7,000 in back property taxes Uncle SAM?" Response: "No. We are going to take it from you tomorrow. Oh, by the way. and we misplaced $28,000 dollars of your money. See you tomorrow." 

The Federal Reserve has kinda, sorta misplaced $9,000,000,000,000. Your tax money is being stolen. No one at the federal reserve is keeping track of what happened to 9 trillion dollars. 

With black budgets and under the table deals can we just guess where all the money has gone? So that's $28,125 roughly stolen from every American citizen. It's time for a class action lawsuit. The Federal Reserve is private.... isn't it? 

Rep. Alan Grayson questioned the Federal reserve Inspector General where $9 Trillion dollars went... um...ahhh...err. Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman hasn't a clue...Kinda misplaced it did you? 

Keep your ears open for when she says - they have no jurisdiction to investigate the Fed!!! Only the Federal Reserve programs!! That's crazy! 

Not only does that piss me off. If every country is in debt where did all the money go? 

Watch in horror yourself.

Bill Clinton - Apology To Human-Experiment Victims

Unfortunately, this is still happening right now. Under the Homeland Security laws of the United States and Bill C-51 in Canada, both countries have become similar to Banana Republics where they are covertly torturing people with classified technology. See the articles here and here about being targeted with electromagnetic energy and the resulting symptoms. See this previous post for a whole bunch of links to check out about directed energy microwave weapons. See here and here for more information about psychotronic weaponry and electromagnetic weapons.

B.C. Court finds RCMP Organized Terrorist Plot

This is a complete joke, while our rights have been taken away and our country is being totally overrun by organized crime and turned into a Banana Republic. Click through on the links above and read the articles, after that, read the article below.

BY MATTHEW BEHRENS

 | AUGUST 31, 2016

At the end of July, the Supreme Court of British Columbia found that agents of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police engaged in the planning of, preparation and funding for, and facilitation of a terrorist offence. By cruelly exploiting two impoverished, recovering heroin addicts with clearly obvious mental health challenges, the Mounties did what any state security agency does: when there are no terrorist plots to justify their existence, they simply create them. It's great PR, because the Mounties -- an organization built on human rights abuses within and without the outfit, from systemic misogyny to complicity in torture -- always need some positive publicity, and when they can orchestrate an easy-peasy takedown of the hapless plotters they have set up, it's a no-risk affair.

But thankfully, Judge Catherine Bruce is having none of it. In a decision that should be required reading for everyone in this country, she stayed the proceedings against John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, the alleged Canada Day pressure cooker plotters of 2013, when she concluded:

"[T]he world has enough terrorists. We do not need the police to create more out of marginalized people who have neither the capacity nor sufficient motivation to do it themselves.... The [police] were clearly overzealous and acted on the assumption that there were no limits to what was acceptable when investigating terrorism."

While Bruce's decision runs into the hundreds of pages, it is nonetheless an incredibly valuable primer on how the RCMP has always operated -- without regard for the very laws it is supposed to enforce -- and without a care for the human rights of those it targets. The decision reveals an organization that, despite numerous judicial inquiries recommending significant changes when it comes to state security investigations, remains wedded to the same old ways in which anything goes. Clearly, Canada's iconic horsemen expect that they will be protected by a culture of impunity.

Indeed, none of the Mounties who coerced, browbeat and threatened Nuttall and Korody have been charged with an offence, even though they led the two hapless individuals to believe that they would be killed if they did not go along with the RCMP-led plot to plant pressure cookers on the lawn of the B.C. legislature.

Baseless foundation for investigation

From the very beginning, the Mounties' "Operation Souvenir" operated on the same utterly baseless foundation that the Mounties have relied upon in other so-called national security cases (see for example, the cases of Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad El Maati, Muayyed Nureddin, Maher Arar, Abousfian Abdelrazik, Benamar Benatta, Omar Khadr, among numerous others). Things began with a "tip" from the notoriously incompetent Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) that Nuttall was a threat to public safety based on "unverified general concerns." When a CSIS representative met with B.C. RCMP Superintendent Bond, he said Nuttall "might" be a recent Muslim convert wanting to recruit others to violence, but did not provide any sources for the contention. Without any evidence that Nuttall was involved in criminal activity, and proceeding on the assumption that Nuttall "posed no imminent threat," the RCMP nevertheless commenced an investigation that rapidly evolved at National Headquarters into a major case, with the direction to Superintendent Bond that he "work hard on this file and treat it as a priority investigation." Judge Bruce says it was apparent that Ottawa considered the investigation "urgent and a national priority."

Souvenir was largely driven by a Sgt. Kalkat, whose manner the Judge found to be "both dictatorial and designed to eliminate dissenting views," especially any opinions raising concerns about entrapment and illegal activities conducted by the Mounties. Kalkat was also someone who, like other Mountie-led state security disasters, equated Islam with national security threats. As Judge Bruce writes:

"When questioned why he believed there was a risk in light of the lack of recent evidence that Mr. Nuttall was expressing extremist beliefs, the sergeant testified that … Mr. Nuttall's cellular telephone usage and blog were associated with the registered name of 'Muhammad Muhammad.' He also referred to Ms. Korody's wearing of the hijab and her conversion to the Muslim faith. Apparently Sgt. Kalkat associated terrorism with adherence to the Islamic faith in general."

Kalkat was called on the carpet by Judge Bruce for an incredible lack of credibility. "I found it astounding that he kept so few notes of meetings and conversations with his team about the project and yet purported to have a detailed recollection of the events favourable to the Crown's position," she found, echoing the findings of even the weak-kneed review committees of the RCMP and CSIS who have regularly documented similarly sloppy, lazy work. Significantly, neither the original operational plan for Souvenir nor an application for an extension "sought authorization to include undercover officers passing themselves off as part of a terrorist group." Perhaps it was simply assumed that the Mounties could do as they pleased, because they never seem to be held to account when they do break the law.

Targets were isolated, vulnerable drug addicts

Nuttall and Korody were both were isolated, vulnerable individuals who relied on daily deliveries of methadone to help them with their heroin addiction. They rarely went out save for coffee and cigarettes or the odd round of paintball, preferring to stay home and play video games. Korody was often ill, constantly throwing up. While Nuttall was apparently known by some for spouting off what are labelled "extremist" views, especially with complete strangers, even Sgt. Kalkat agreed in court that "this is not the usual behaviour of a serious terrorist."

But Kalkat and a group of undercover RCMP officers were determined that Nuttall's "extremist" views meant he posed a threat to national security, and they committed enormous resources into encouraging Nuttall to compose a "feasible" terrorist plot for which they could then arrest him. Indeed, while the ultimate budget has not been released, the Mounties paid almost $1 million in overtime to some 200 officers on this pork-barrel project.

An objective observer would have concluded that Nuttall's grandiose talk, while perhaps disturbing, was just that: talk. Nuttall believed that in addition to his capacity to spark a U.S. civil war, he could hold the world hostage by hijacking a nuclear submarine at Nanoose Bay simply by swimming up to it. He also bragged that he could hack into the Israeli government's server while he discussed storming the Esquimalt military base with AK-47s, and building Qassam rockets to shoot towards the Parliament buildings in Victoria. But the Mounties wanted badly to take his word for it. Nuttall was the kind of perfect "low-hanging fruit" that the FBI regularly sets up and entraps to claim U.S. victories in the war against terror.

By February of 2013, the "Special O" group of the Mounties discontinued Project Souvenir surveillance. Judge Bruce found that "it is apparent that had there been any indication that Mr. Nuttall was an imminent threat, Special 'O' would not have been re-assigned elsewhere." The project nevertheless remained a national priority for the RCMP's E-INSET Division in Ottawa, based on, among other things, a CSIS "advisory letter" which alleged Nuttall had been attempting to purchase potassium nitrate from pharmacies, but again, no source was revealed for the tip, and no investigation was undertaken to determine whether Nuttall knew that potassium nitrate could possibly used in the production of explosives.

The RCMP never bothered to ascertain whether he was in fact purchasing the product on his meagre welfare cheque or doing anything beyond what the Mounties' surveillance did report: that Nuttall was picking up prescriptions for his grandmother. No Mounties reviewed video surveillance of the Nuttall residence until very late in the game to confirm what was alleged by CSIS either, and at no time did the RCMP interview neighbours or associates, nor did they monitor the couple's Internet use to determine if they were communicating with people alleged to be involved in terrorism (a post-arrest computer search confirmed no such communication had ever occurred). The Mounties also installed surveillance pole cameras outside the residence, but did not even keep them on 24 hours a day. 

Cooking up a plot

The well-paid Souvenir team cooked up 28 different scenarios designed to entice Nuttall into coming up with a terrorist plot. But their introduction of an undercover officer (Officer A) who played the role of a well-connected, high-functioning terrorist and alleged Islamic spiritual adviser with major international connections did little to push Nuttall beyond his grandiose imaginings. All it did was make Nuttall and Korody feel like they finally had a true friend, and they relied on him for many things in their daily life. But endless efforts by Officer A to get Nuttall to write out a terrorist plan on a laptop proved fruitless; indeed, the only time Nuttall talked about extremist activities was in the presence of Officer A, who encouraged him to think about how to put his ideas into action.

Korody was never one to talk about such plans, but the Mounties insisted on bringing her into the mix as well, figuring that you need two people to fall under the definition of a terrorist group. Hence, Officer A insisted that Nuttall order Korody to attend meetings and RCMP-arranged reconnaissance missions even when Korody was way too ill to leave the house. As Judge Bruce found, "[t]he command team discussed ways of involving Ms. Korody in the scenarios, expressing the belief that 'the only way to get charges [against her] is from her mouth,'" given that this recovering heroin addict would often say things that mirrored what Nuttall was talking about.

Concerns raised internally by some within the Mounties were generally dismissed, including the undercover team's assertion that "Officer A had overly excited Mr. Nuttall about doing jihadist acts and was giving him the capacity to carry out terrorist acts for which he lacked the resources and contacts." As early as March, 2013, Souvenir team members were expressing concerns about entrapment as well. But this did not stop Kalkat and team members from pressing Officer A to get Nuttall to stop talking his grand schemes and to focus instead on a simple plot like the placement of three pressure cooker bombs at the provincial legislature building for Canada Day. Indeed, the RCMP was committed to making it happen by that deadline, despite every effort by Nuttall to step away from the plans, despite his incessant callout for spiritual advice, and his persistent doubts that this was the right thing to do. Officer A prevented him from getting advice from an imam, preferring to refer him to the very "extremist" conclusions that are rife on the Internet.

The RCMP often expressed frustration at the slow pace of Souvenir. Simple things like downloading a map of Victoria proved impossible for Nuttall; he never thought to purchase a paper map. Judge Bruce concluded:

"[I]t was only the RCMP that was interested in a cheap, quick and easy means of carrying out violent jihad. Mr. Nuttall continued to express a desire to carry out several grandiose schemes that, even if possible, would take years to organize and far more resources and know-how than he or Ms. Korody possessed or could reasonably acquire."

In May, Kalkat updated his superiors by reminding them Nuttall posed "no public safety concerns" and that Officer A had complete control of Nuttall, who would do nothing without the say-so of his "friend." Officer A continued to provide Nuttall with incorrect interpretations of Islam (telling him, among other things, that the duty of every Muslim is to die a martyr).

As Officer A kept working on Nuttall to come up with a simple terrorist act, Nuttall continued to dream big, with plans to shut down Guantanamo Bay by, among other things, hijacking a VIA passenger train that no longer existed. As Judge Bruce notes in her decision, much of Nuttall's understanding of the terrorist world came from watching Hollywood movies like Rambo III.

As the Mounties' self-imposed Canada Day deadline loomed large, the undercover operatives:

"[d]iscussed creating a challenge scenario where Officer A would essentially take away Mr. Nuttall's dream of being part of this jihadist organization if he did not focus on a real plan and show some dedication and initiative….[Superintendent Bond] agreed that the next scenarios were designed to focus Mr. Nuttall on a feasible plan even though he recognized the entrapment issues would be challenging to avoid if this occurred."

One member of the team, Corporal Matheson, raised doubts, writing:

"The last thing we want to tell the target is that he needs to go away and come back with a real plan. There may come a time for that when we want to decisively challenge the target's intentions. At this stage, however, the target may come back with another plan simply because we told him to. This would be coercion at best, and at worst it would be us making a terrorist out of someone who might not otherwise be."

Planning a press barrage

As May headed into June, the Mounties were already preparing press conferences for the July 1 scenario, even though, as Judge Bruce points out, "Curiously, these discussions occurred prior to any concrete plan emerging from the undercover operation." There was still no indication that Nuttall was prepared for, or about to engage in, a terrorist act beyond all of his big talk, with no potential for action absent the prodding and participation of the undercover team.

The RCMP, meantime, was seeking legal advice on how best to set Nuttall up to meet the requirements of terrorism charges. Kalkat asked for legal advice on whether the Mounties could simply establish a checklist to determine whether they would be able to meet all the elements of the offences. The answer from one legal adviser in Ottawa, as summarized by Judge Bruce, was "a checklist could not be provided and the undercover shop's request for one demonstrated their lack of understanding regarding the complexity of the terrorism offences." With respect to Nuttall's partner, Korody, the legal adviser posited that the Mounties' attempts to bring her into the mix, thereby creating a "terrorist group," was "not a particularly compelling situation given the nature of their relationship. You require evidence to satisfy the statutory definition of terrorist group: one or more persons whose objective is to commit or facilitate a serious violent act, to intimidate the public, for a religious, political or ideological purpose." At that point, the only group that satisfied the elements of the offence was composed entirely of RCMP officers.

While Nuttall continued to express serious doubts, especially with respect to the potential for killing innocent people, and requested spiritual advice, Officer A reassured him that he should just follow his heart. Their troubling relationship and the role of the RCMP is summed up by Judge Bruce:

"Officer A told Mr. Nuttall that if a good plan was formulated he would finance it and take care of all of the logistics. Effectively Officer A was counselling Mr. Nuttall to come up with a better terrorist plan. This promise of help did not seem to placate Mr. Nuttall who broke down in tears. Officer A consoled him and said that all would be fine and they would do it together 'by baby steps one at a time.' Mr. Nuttall responded that he needed direction from Officer A and he asked what he should be doing between now and the next time they met. Significantly, Mr. Nuttall said that he was not going to carry out any jihad until he had the spiritual guidance he was looking for in regard to whether killing was prohibited or permitted by the faith. In response, Officer A refocused Mr. Nuttall on working towards a jihadist plan and Mr. Nuttall became newly infused with enthusiasm about coming up with a good plan this time and wanted his hard drive back to begin working on it."

Cult-like RCMP practices

While some within the RCMP felt this was going nowhere fast and should be shut down, others continued to press for a plan that Nuttall could embrace. Officer A engaged in cult-like practices, isolating Nuttall by preventing him from being with family and acquaintances and advising against attending the mosque. As Nuttall worried about killing people, he was equally concerned that Officer A, portraying the big terrorist whose organization has invested time, blood and money into this operation, would be displeased. And so he tried to meet Officer A in the middle with plots that sounded significant but would not shed blood. When he came up with scenarios like "symbolic" Qassam rockets without warheads that would cause minor property damage but little else, Officer A was not pleased. Instead of embracing a less lethal plan like this, Officer A of the RCMP:

"[r]eminded Nuttall about his earlier statement that killing all taxpayers was part of the plan…Mr. Nuttall agreed that soldiers were fair game but insisted the recon would help to ensure no innocents were harmed by the rockets; and he commented that everyone was a potential Muslim convert and this caused him to doubt his plans for jihad. In the end, he maintained a need for spiritual guidance from someone who was qualified to interpret the Quran on these issues."

But Officer A continued to divert Nuttall away from any opportunity to receive the kind of advice that would have once and for all addressed his real concerns and, perhaps, stopped him from spouting the rhetoric that the Mounties found so problematic to begin with. Officer A continued to provide inaccurate religious justifications for violence, a particularly vile tactic that exploited vulnerable people who had given him complete trust. As the B.C. court decision found:

"The defendants were recent converts to the Muslim faith and constantly struggled with issues of what was permitted and what was prohibited by Allah and the Quran. On several occasions Mr. Nuttall had demonstrated indecision about whether it was prohibited to kill anyone even apart from innocents. He often said that the rockets could be symbolic only and not contain any warhead. Yet he was now being counselled towards violent extremism by the police."

As this farce went on, the RCMP should have confirmed what Judge Bruce identified as:

"Mr. Nuttall's ineptitude even for the simplest tasks and Ms. Korody's detachment from what was going on. It should have been readily apparent to the RCMP that Mr. Nuttall was incapable of crafting a plan of action to support a terrorist plot…. it should have been apparent to the police that Mr. Nuttall had the gullible nature of a young child."

But the Mounties wanted a big takedown and the gratitude of millions of Canadians for saving the day on a national holiday. They continued to set up further scenarios, including badly botched "reconnaissance" missions and shopping trips that were frustratingly bizarre. In addition, one Mountie's report to the National HQ "mentioned the possibility of obtaining an authorization for the commission of offences such as participation in and facilitation of a terrorist activity," something that the Mounties got free reign with in the subsequently passed, Trudeau-supported C-51.

Pressure for pressure cookers

The Mounties continued to pressure Nuttall into accepting a pressure cooker scenario, which he seemed to reject literally right up until the last minute, when he and Korody appear to have gone through with the placement of the devices (rendered inert by the undercover team that helped put them together!) because they feared they would be killed if they pulled out of the plot. Judge Bruce confirms that their fear, in the context of the relationship with Officer A and other members of the team portraying themselves as dangerous terrorists, was credible and real.

But the Mounties still had to gather some kind of evidence. They insisted Nuttall draw up a plan on his computer, which he never had the focus to do. They removed them from the "distractions" of their home to a hotel to focus on the plot. Every time Nuttall came up with obstacles to the plot, he was assured that all details would be handled by Officer A. They also continued to deflect from Nuttall's doubts, with Judge Bruce writing that "Mr. Nuttall expressed concern about targeting women and children and both Officer C and Officer A assured him that they would take care of that problem."

Meantime, memos from within continued to express doubts. Corporal Matheson wrote:

"Within the preceding few hours we learned that the targets had access to money and had chosen not to use it for bomb parts. Providing more money to get the targets past their reluctance to purchase bomb parts would not provide good evidence. Secondly, if we were to give the targets money for a fictitious purpose with the belief that the money would actually be used for bomb parts, we ourselves might be breaking the law in so far as we might be financing terrorism."

While internal memos indicate Sgt. Kalkat knew the pair could now be arrested prior to July 1 based on suspicion they posed an imminent risk, they were not picked up. That would have taken away from the drama of planting the harmless devices under the RCMP's watch, and certainly watered down the news angle that resulted in the banner headlines that recalled the Boston marathon bombing of earlier that spring.

Desperate to get the plot going

Desperate to get the plot going, the Mounties then proceeded to be part of what Judge Bruce describes as:

"[t]he most chaotic and disorganized shopping trip conceivable in spite of several specific directions passed on to the defendants about where to buy items on their list. Even though Mr. Nuttall's shopping list consisted of a relatively small number of ordinary objects and supplies (batteries, pressure cookers, nails, an electric drill and a driver set), it is quite apparent that absent Officer A's constant prodding and refocusing Mr. Nuttall could never have completed the job. Over and over he would forget what he needed and what he already had. Officer A was required to make pointed suggestions and give specific directions in regard to the shopping list to ensure that Mr. Nuttall moved forward with the required purchases. Mr. Nuttall was easily distracted and needed to be continually reminded about what had to be done. Ms. Korody was of very little assistance; for the most part she slept in the rear seat of the vehicle. At one point she left the vehicle to vomit….It also became apparent during the shopping trip, as well as during the private time the defendants spent alone at the Sundance Motel, that there were serious impediments to their carrying out this terrorist plan that were only resolved because of what the RCMP did for them."

In another sign of the cruelty of targetting the extremely vulnerable and gullible Nuttall and Korody, Bruce notes Sgt. Kalkat:

"[g]ave no thought as to how the defendants' dependence on methadone would impact their ability to think clearly about their actions. In my view, both Ms. Korody and Mr. Nuttall often appeared to be in a dazed state during the videotaped scenarios. Ms. Korody commonly slept through most of the meetings with Officer A. Their state of consciousness should have been a real and substantial concern during the undercover operation but it was ignored by the police."

In essence, the Mounties devised a plan for which they choose the date, the means, the location and the logistics. There had been no pre-existing plot that needed to be infiltrated and stopped. But the state cannot be allowed to conduct such sting operations, and as the Supreme Court of Canada notes (in the landmark "Mr. Big sting operation" Hart decision that the Mounties clearly refuse to accept):

"The state must conduct its law enforcement operations in a manner that is consonant with the community's underlying sense of fair play and decency. It cannot manipulate suspects' lives without limit, turning their day-to-day existence into a piece of theatre in which they are unwitting participants. Such an approach does violence to the dignity of suspects and is incompatible with the proper administration of justice."

Ultimately, Judge Bruce found:

"[t]he defendants had proven themselves to be marginalized, isolated people who espoused extremist jihadist views but were neither motivated to act on their beliefs nor capable of taking steps to accomplish acts of violence in support of their beliefs. Some of the officers involved in Project Souvenir appeared to hold this view of the defendants and advocated a different course of action than the one spearheaded by Sgt. Kalkat."

Mounties counselled extremist views and violence

Judge Bruce was also appalled at the role the Mountie splayed as "spiritual advisers" to Nuttall, noting:

"The fact that Officer A chose to give religious advice at all is objectionable; however, preaching ideas that promoted the use of violence and allaying the defendants' doubts about killing people makes his conduct far more sinister. When Mr. Nuttall said that he and Ms. Korody had serious doubts that killing people would please Allah, Officer A gave him the same spiritual advice about pre-determination that violent extremists use to radicalize people…. Knowing that Mr. Nuttall had serious doubts about carrying out a mission that could kill innocent people, Officer A told him that there was no time to obtain spiritual guidance."

Like good capitalists who wanted the bang for their buck, she notes:

"The RCMP would not have been willing to abort their plan for the July 1 planting of the devices at the last minute after so much preparation had gone into getting the operation to this point and after many thousands of dollars had been invested in the project….There is no evidence that on their own or when they were alone Mr. Nuttall and Ms. Korody crafted plans to carry out jihadist plots. It was only when they were with Officer A and the other undercover officers that they talked about committing acts of violence for a terrorist purpose. For months during the undercover operation Mr. Nuttall did nothing but talk about jihadist plots and the police became very impatient and frustrated with his apparent inability to take any positive steps towards accomplishing anything."

RCMP: Fraud, deceit, threats, exploitation

From the beginning, the RCMP engaged in deceit, fraud, implied threats in the absence of an ongoing criminal venture, exploited vulnerabilities and friendship, and engaged in clearly illegal conduct. Judge Bruce writes that:

"In my view, Sgt. Kalkat's decision to push ahead with the operation despite the lack of motivation shown by the defendants, his concerted efforts to eliminate any dissenters from his team, and his desire to bring the project to a speedy conclusion without due regard for the criminal nature of the acts committed by the undercover officers, cannot be regarded as good faith... The RCMP's preoccupation with motivating the defendants to commit an act of terrorism appears to have distracted them from more important considerations such as the legality of their actions. All of these circumstances render the illegal acts committed by the police more egregious and, in combination with the overall conduct of the police, an abuse of process. One must not forget that there was little risk to the public to justify illegal acts by the police. The RCMP did not act to break up a pre-existing plan to carry out a terrorist plot. There was no evidence that the defendants had taken steps to formulate a terrorist plot; were in communication with known terrorists or terrorist organizations; or possessed any expertise that would have been of value to a terrorist organization. The police were not infiltrating a sophisticated terrorist organization. The illegal acts committed by the police were not directed at the defendants or designed to frighten them into committing the offence. However, it is equally offensive for the police to commit illegal acts that enable an offence in circumstances where they knew the defendants could not have committed the offence absent police assistance."

When the 2013 arrests occurred, RCMP Assistant Commissioner John Malizia crowed:

"These arrests are another example of the effectiveness of our integrated national security enforcement team, who worked tenaciously to prevent this plan from being carried out. We detected the threat early, and disrupted it."

While this is a sickening, sad plot, Canadians may expect more of the same under the Trudeau government, which supports the very C-51 that legalizes such abominable behaviour. Indeed, the Trudeau government wasted no time in showing its support for the RCMP creating and organizing terror plots. It immediately appealed Judge Bruce's decision, re-arresting Nuttall and Korody following their brief release from three years in custody, and placing them under a terrorism peace bond.

Meanwhile, the people who plotted the terrorist act are running Canada's national police force.
