Top Two Torturers avoid Canada

This blogger writes: The two top torturers of  the disgraced  George W. Bush  White House administration seem to have finally hit three-strikes-and-out against their own free entry into Canada in the future. The Decider Himself, George W. Bush, and his former vice president Dick Cheney have struck out three times in Canada since September, 2011, handicapped by their twin status as fugitives from the law for their self-confessed records of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Book Hustler Cheney hustled out of town

Former U.S. vice-president Dick Cheney drew a war criminal’s welcome  - “the kind of welcome he deserved,” in the words of one protestor – as the American leader most often referred to a s a “war criminal” arrived in Vancouver to promote his memoirs and speak at a $500-a-plate speaking event. Cheney spoke to The Bon Mot book club in Vancouver to hustle his new book. At the posh Club Vancouver, protestors effectively obstructed entry to the event. Cheney was said to have been extremely upset when his exit from the club was delayed for seven hours while police cleared the surrounding streets of angry protestors. The next day, in Calgary, Alberta, Cheney again drew protestors at a second promotional dinner and speech.

In the meantime, since the end of the Bush administration in 2008 numerous human rights organizations have been bombarding the government of Canada with demands to apply its immigration laws banning or detaining persons who have been deemed by the government of Canada to be, among other things, “accused of international crimes, torture, war crimes, and crimes against humanity“ under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, sec 35(1) (a) equally to all people. To this date, Bush and and Cheney have been given carte blanche to enter and leave Canada with impunity

Bush smirks at Canadians, gets ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card from AG

Bush speaks in Canada, pockets $200,000, Smirks, Gives Justice the Slip! The “Protest at the Sheraton” was a street protest outside the Sheraton Hotel, Surrey, B.C., where George W. Bush spoke before a Chamber of Commerce crowd and collected a fee believed to have been approximately $200,000. Protestors howled in the streets, specifically aiming at outing Bush’s culpability in the perpetration of  war crimes, specifically torture,  associated with the War On Terror.

Simultaneously, The Canadian Center for International Justice  (CCIJ) filed a criminal indictment against Bush timed to synchronize exactly with the protest at the Sheraton, for his alleged criminal complicity in the torture of prisoners. All signs point to suspicious political interference with the Office of the Attorney General for British Columbia, as the CCIJ indictment was first booked for a January hearing, then hours later mysteriously dropped from the court’s agenda by a Stay of Proceedings. Rookie Attorney General Shirley Bond  has never explained her action in this event.

Bush is living now in a shrinking world.  Everywhere he goes criminal charges await him. He narrowly escaped justice in February, 2011 in Switzerland where a criminal indictment  awaited him. Bush won’t be visiting Switzerland again.

Cheney and daughter fear entering Canada

Dick Cheney and his daughter Elizabeth cancel speeches in Toronto, Canada. They express concern that they would be exposed to danger by Canadian protestors who oppose torture and want Cheney arrested, as Cheney  experienced in Vancouver, B.C. in September 2011. American law scholar and popular blogger Jonathan Turley explained at the time that,  “while Americans appear reconciled with the torture program, citizens in other countries still demand that Bush officials be arrested according to international law.“

Turley humorously wrote in his blogpost about the shy  Cheneys:

“The aspect of this story that I love the most is the name of the group that was arranging Cheney’s visit on April 24th: Spectre. Yes, Spectre of Ernst Stavro Blofeld fame. Number 1 in this case was Ryan Ruppert of Spectre Live Corp. who explained that “[a]fter speaking with their security advisers, they changed their mind on coming to the event [and] decided it was better for their personal safety they stay out of Canada. It is not clear if Blofeld’s cat will make the trip instead.

Cheney could claim a curious victory in frustrating efforts to arrest him. In the words of Blofeld: “Such a pity. All that time and energy wasted, simply to provide you with one mock, heroic moment.” [Look into camera, pet cat, exit stage right]“

BREAKING NEWS May 24, 2012

Report by Joan Bryden “Canada’s failure to arrest former U.S. president George W. Bush during a visit to B.C. is cited by Amnesty International in its annual report on human rights atrocities around the globe. At the time of Bush’s visit last October, Amnesty maintained the former president authorized the use of torture against detainees at the Guantanamo Bay naval base, in Afghanistan and Iraq as the U.S. pursued its war on terror following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. It cited the use of waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques” and cruel, degrading treatment, such as forcing detainees to remain in painful position, without sleep, for hours. As a signatory to the UN Convention Against Torture… Canada has an obligation to take action against alleged violators, including Bush.”
