Injustice in Canada (10)

(10) Free Country … Free Press!

One of the key elements that the Government employed effectively to frame these young men was the Media. In fact, as we mentioned before, the media has tried and convicted them in the first three days of this saga. It was only logical that the defendants try to use the same weapon that was used against them.

In the beginning, every thing was blurry. The families of the defendants did not know what to do. The Lawyers have advised them to stay away of the media. That is because of the biased nature of the media in North America; the influence of the Jews within the media circles and the influence of the “New con” government that has proven to be just a puppet of the Bush Administration. They advised that any pre-recorded interview will be manipulated and words will be twisted to show the opposite of what it originally meant; a typical game of the media. But, with time, the families found out that although these games the media uses were true, they realized that it is a great power and should not be overlooked. The public has the right to know, and the government is doing every thing they can to keep them in the dark, and under the influence of portrait drawn by the media in the first three days after the arrest.

However, the media is not all bad. They differ in the level of prejudice and bias, from the worst; The Post, to the moderate such as the Toronto Star.

It was essential to expose this web site and put it out for the public to explore. We developed the “Appeal to The Canadian Conscience and Justice” press release, and wanted to post it in the newspapers. We contacted the one of the “moderate” newspaper; to place an Ad. The answer was that they do not publish a press release! We suggested that we just post a sentence from the appeal and refer to the web site. They said “we can not post a web site”! We suggested posting the sentence and a toll free number for people to call. After consulting with their lawyers they said “The toll free has to be registered with bell Canada and in your own name, and added my name under the sentence to show it is my own writing. I registered a toll free number with Bell, and sent back to the newspaper. They replied that saying “Who is Tariq Haleem, and who is Dr Tariq Abdelhaleem? You can’t say the political prisoners, as this is your own opinion”!

Well, at this point I realized that the newspaper is playing games. The words I put in my ad does not contain any swear or obscene words, neither it contains insult or attack on any one. The ad reads:

Appeal to the Canadian Conscience and Justice

“When the bail hearings started with some hope that law would be applied equally to everyone, without double standards, it was clear that the ‘infliction of punishment before conviction’ was the primary goal of the prosecution.”

This is what they refused to post! It is just disgusting to know that this is the so called “freedom of press” or “freedom of expression” comes really down to. It is just words that hold no truth to it. The press here in North America is a copy of the press in the Middle East that we used to make fun of. It is even worth, as in the Press in the Middle East confesses being government controlled. But here they just hypocritically show them selves as being free! This is another scam of a society that claims to be the best in freedom and for humanity.Read: Appeal to the Canadian Conscience and Justice
