\u00a0<\/em>{ Ottawa Under Attack? }<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\"Ottawa<\/a>

* – Cpl. Nathan Cirillo guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National Memorial in Ottawa in a photo posted on Twitter Wednesday. Cirillo was shot and killed by a man who later attacked the Parliament buildings. (Twitter) – *<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

{\u00a0 We had actual breaking news this week. Tuesday, someone later labeled a ‘homegrown terrorist’ ‘committed vehicular homicide’, targetting and hitting two men in military uniforms with a vehicle, killing one.\u00a0 Wednesday, a reservist guarding a War Memorial with a rifle without bullets was shot and killed by a man who walked away calmly, got into one vehicle, drove away to a spot where he got out with his weapon, stole another vehicle, drove to the Parliament Buildings, parked, got out with his rifle visible, ran up to and into the buildings, got inside -into the Conservative caucus room, where he was shot and killed by what was described as ’30 security personnel all firing at once’. The sergeant at arms at the Parliament building is credited with protecting Parliament from the ‘lone gunman’. \u00a0 —djo— }<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

{\u00a0 Thursday, after briefly conferring with our online staff – I had to go get ‘big water’ for our cooler and a couple loaves of ‘day-old’ bread and stuff like that there.\u00a0 Today’s noon radio broadcast from Halifax sounded a whole lot different from yesterday’s evening news: <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

– Two ex-military types were on the air. One of them was a command level officer who was today’s go-to person. The first guy -not the general- said, -not word for word, I didn’t record this >>—-> Harper’s had us at war for the last 12 or 13 years and he acts surprised that somebody who might have ties with one of the countries we’ve been at war with might attack our soldiers? <—-<<\u00a0 And I’m pretty sure it was the General who said, again I can’t remember this word for word:\u00a0 >>—-> Security was lax at the Parliament buildings, not because of action or complaints from some Civil Libertarian types, but because the Harper Government cut back funds, got rid of the commissionaires who had been doing security duty and cut funds to what security operations we had left. – And I think the go-to General responded to someone’s concerns about loss of privacy and civil rights by saying that security measures should be kept at a safe distance from the doors of the Parliament buildings- not because that could be less intrusive, but because security personnel at the doors would not have enough time to stop a determined attacker who was armed.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

– Today’s tone was a whole lot calmer and more sane than I expected. People from Atlantic Canada do not seem to be in love with the ‘Harper Conservatives’, and they do not appear to be ‘buying into’ the idea that ‘we should surrender what rights and liberties we have left’.\u00a0 Even a cashier in a convenience store up here told me that she had noticed that everything felt a whole lot different and less crazy than it felt last night. One person said, “There are 35 million Canadians up here and two or three of them went nuts? I don’t feel any less safe and secure than I did last week.”
\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

– & I heard one semi- off-the-wall suggestion, here we go, complete with pre-amble- “I remember an old Star Trek episode from the original series where Captain Kirk and the gang tried to convince one very peaceful race that they were in danger. In response, the ‘endangered’ society’s citizens just sort of half closed their eyes and made the weapons of anybody who held one impossible to hold, they like burned the hands of the people who thought they could use them. Don’t we have screening technology that could detect bullets and something like high tech heaters that could focus on those bullets? Show dummies with loaded guns in their pockets having their legs blown off\u00a0 in a reinforced screening facility? Wouldn’t that convince would be attackers that their weapons would explode in their hands? Or their pockets? There’s gotta be a way something like that would work.-“<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 – Um, luckily, this person was explaining his idea to somebody else and I didn’t need to respond that I would have to go think about that for a while before I let myself come up with an opinion I could endorse and\/or live with.\u00a0 —jim w— }<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

– “Thursday, 23 October, 2014 – Ack! We live in a violent culture. Nobody under the age of responsibility planned it this way, at least not in this lifetime. – When the television programmes you plunk your kids down in front of are violent— When their sports are violent— When somebody out there has decided that your games and distractions should all be violent—- Why didn’t you see this coming? – Good, honest young men and women are being duped into taking up arms to support one lie against another. Embrace the love of life. Embrace the love of love. Embrace the preciousness of every life on this planet. Support each other. – To hell with the ideas that kill. To hell with philosophies that say it’s okay to kill for king and country. – We were not told, “Thou shalt not kill unless your government tells you to-” — We were not told, “Thou shalt not kill unless the controlling, obsessive men who took over and subverted your religions tell you to.” — Do not pray for vengeance. – Pray for guidance. Pray for protection from the lies that too many of our contemporaries allow to control their lives. – Pray we call come together and dismiss the governments and (small r) religions that allow darkness to smirk and laugh themselves silly because they’ve been pulling the strings and spitting out the words that convince you that you are working God’s Will when you believe you have the right to destroy the lives of any of God’s Children. – Get thee behind us, thou dupes of the dark side. – Unzip the uniforms and find there are Children of God inside. Burn down the deceptions and realize that any true Religion nurtures your body, mind, soul and spirit, and tells you that we are all one spirit. We are all children of the same divine intelligence. – Smash your delusions and realize we are all One. Before it’s too late. ———jda———\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
