Happy CanaDa Day!
On New Year’s Eve 2008, I wrote to The Prime Minister with the vision I see for CanaDa, and I was pleased to receive this personal reply his 1st Day back on the job in the New Year of the Lord 2009.

On the occasion of CanaDa’s 144th Birthday, it is Time to share this vision I see as our National Destiny in the Future.

A MARI USQUE AD MARI was taken from the Psalms of David 72:8: ‘He shall have Dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth’ for we Canadians still struggling on The Plains of Abraham in The Dominion of CanaDa Today.

From St. John’s Newfoundland & St. John New Brunswick, to Quebec in the Spirit of John The Baptist, to Victoria, British Columbia, to Whitehorse in the Yukon and the True North, we have inherited a vast and rich land Blessed by God.

CanaDa is a very special place that has brought  people here from every Nation on earth to build a new representative model of Democracy and Freedom for the world together on The Plains of Abraham.

The world is at war with itself while the Old World Order is in rapid decline as the Prophets said it would be at the End of the Age.

We have a place where diverse cultures, languages and Faiths can live in relative Peace and Harmony as the Family of Man and Children of God.

I think Canadians from every Nation on Earth, including every Muslim I met
or worked with, embody most of the positive characteristics so many of you
have articulated here. I also think Canadians have a fate or destiny or
calling or whatever other similar word one could use. As I´ve stated in
other topics, the fact our National Unity struggle is rooted in the
Plains of Abraham, I see as a material representation of a Spiritual
reality that is not yet seen, realized and actualized.

Being the only Monarchy at the Top of the Americas in the New World, I see
as a material representation of the Spiritual reality of the
Kingdom of Christ the King, the example to the rest of the World as we enter the time of trial and tribulation.

The Canadian Coat of Arms A MARI USQUE AD MARE comes from a Psalm of David mentioned above & below. So far I have been alone believing this, and I can´t just snap my fingers and make it a reality. I view these material things we can see as Spiritual symbols and Signs of a special role God has in store for CanaDa.

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the
LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many
in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered,
O Lord GOD, you know.

Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O you dry
bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones;
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: And I
will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you
with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know
that I am the LORD.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And
when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin
covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to
the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up
upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel:
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost:
WE ARE CUT OFF FOR OUR PARTS.

Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O my
people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.

And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my
people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in
you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land:
THEN shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says
the LORD.

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Moreover, you son of man,
take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel
his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph,
the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall be come one in
your hand.

And when the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you
not show us what you mean by these? Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him,
even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one
in my hand. And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before
their eyes.

And say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of
Israel from among the heathen, where they be gone, and will gather them on
every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one
nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king
to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all: (CanaDa/Quebec)

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with
their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will
save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and
will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes,
and do them.

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant,
wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they,
and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant
David shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them,
and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle
also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be
my people.

And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my
sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 37

Dem Bones, Dry Bones or Dem Dry Bones is a well-known traditional spiritual song, used to teach basic anatomy to children, although its description is not anatomically correct. The melody was written by African-American author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938). Two versions of this traditional song are used widely, the second an abridgment of the first. The lyrics are based on Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the prophet visits the Valley of Dry Bones[1] and prophesies that they will become alive by God’s command. Wikipedia

Concerning the Old World Israel

Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Therefore say I to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.

Matthew 21:42-43

This means don´t just talk the talk, but walk the walk with the talk. Everything is possible with the Spirit of God.

Canada Cana Da

At the Marriage Feast at Cana, Jesus said to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he said to them, Draw out now, and bring it to the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not where it came from: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And said to him, Every man at the beginning does set out good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

John 2:7-10

The Best is yet to come!!!

 

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

PROFESSOR RICHARD FALK ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S SPEECH TO AIPAC

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

Richard Anderson Falk is an American professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, and Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor‘s Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In 2004, he was listed as the author or coauthor of 20 books and the editor or co-editor of another 20 volumes. Falk has published extensively with multiple books written about international law and the United Nations.

In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) appointed Falk to a six-year term as a United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. Being Jewish, the Israeli government wouldn’t allow him into Israel to do his assignment as the Special Rapporteur. 

I first learned about him in 2013 reading the Israeli government, CanaDa and the US were calling for his dismissal as the UNHRC Rapporteur and my 1st thought was ‘he must be doing something right’ and followed him in his Blog linked below since then.

On Sunday, May 22, 2011, President Barack Obama spoke at an AIPAC Conference, three days after giving his decidedly pro-Israeli speech at the State Department on his broader Middle East foreign policy. It was a shockingly partisan speech to the extremist lobbying group that has the entire U.S. Congress in an unprecedented headlock that has become the envy of even the National Rifle Association. Of course, I assume that Obama’s handlers regarded a speech to AIPAC as obligatory given the upcoming presidential election in 2012. The dependence of political candidates for almost any significant elective office in the United States on Jewish electoral and funding support has become an article of secular political faith, and particularly so for a national office like the presidency. Nevertheless, the enactment of this political ritual by Obama seemed excessive even taking full account of the role of Israeli Lobby as to be worth noting and decrying.

What is worse, the mainstream media typically misconstrued the AIPAC event in a manner that compounds the outrage of the speech itself. For instance, the NY Times headline says it all: “Obama Challenges Israel to Make Hard Choices for Peace.” As Obama pointed out himself in his remarks, “there was nothing particularly original in my proposal; this basic framework for negotiations has long been the basis for discussions among the parties, including previous U.S. administrations.” The supposed hard choices involve Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, only restating the generalized international consensus that has often been articulated by American leaders and in a variety of authoritative settings. This is hardly a hard choice, especially as interpreted by the White House’s former Special Envoy, George Mitchell, as including Israel’s perceived security requirements. That is, the land swaps now seem to embrace not only the unlawful settlement blocs that had been conceded by George W. Bush, but now appear to incorporate Netanyahu over the top demands for strategic depth at the expense of Palestinian land, demanding the appropriation of portions of the Jordan Valley along with the deployment of Israeli troops within a hypothetical demilitarized Palestinian state.

What is more, the alleged hard choice is never set against the background of the aftermath of the 1948 War that deprived of about half of the territory they had been given according to the UN partition plan embodied in General Assembly Resolution 181. And as is widely known, the Palestinian rejected that partition as being grossly unfair, imposed from without and awarding the Jewish minority population about 56% of historic Palestine. In effect, the willingness of the Palestinians, expressed first by the 1988 session of the Palestinian National Council to live within the 1967 borders meant agreeing to have their Palestinian state on 22% of the British mandate. This was indeed a hard choice! The land swaps involving settlement blocs, and their bypass roads, and further security zones claimed are all encroachments upon that 22%, and the fact that such further Palestinian concession can be proposed is indicative of just how unfair has become the American led approach to the resolution of the underlying conflict. It is further notable that this fundamental territorial redefinition of the two-state consensus is never acknowledged or even mentioned. In effect, what was thought to be two states in 1947 was dramatically diminished by what became the contours of two states after the 1967 War, and has been further diminished in dramatic form ever since by the settlement process and the various unilateral changes introduced by Israel in the course of administering Jerusalem.

The speech to AIPAC is significant not for these non-existent ‘hard choices,’ but for the scandalously obsequious pleading tone adopted by an American president that acknowledges with pride everything about the U.S. Government’s relationship to the conflict that should disqualify it from ever again having a shred of diplomatic credibility as a third party intermediary. Starting with the fawning “[w]hat a remarkable, remarkable crowd” to his heartfelt words of sympathy for Israeli victims of violence without even a scintilla of empathy for the far, far greater suffering daily endured by the entire Palestinian people: dispossessed, living under occupation, blockade, in refugee camps and exile, or as persons displaced physically and psychologically.

The passage on military assistance to a prosperous Israel should have come as a shock to American taxpayers but passes without notice by the Western media.  I quote in full because it so shamelessly overlooks Israeli defiance of international law and its militarist outlook toward the future: “..I and my administration have made the security of Israel a priority. It’s why we’ve increased cooperation between our militaries to unprecedented levels. It’s why we’re making our most advanced technologies available to our Israeli allies. It’s why, despite tough fiscal times, we’ve increased foreign military financing to record levels. And that includes additional support—beyond regular military aid—for the Iron Dome anti-rocket system.” It is not surprising that there was loud applause after each sentence in the paragraph just quoted, but it is surprising that an American president would try to please even an AIPAC audience this abject manner. After all, others are listening! Or should be!

Obama similarly brushes aside any concern about the unlawfulness of the Israeli occupation or its uses of force against a defenseless population in Gaza in its massive attacks launched at the end of 2008, and carried on for three weeks. Obama brushes aside the Goldstone Report by name, suggesting that its assessment of Israel’s wrongdoing somehow challenges Israel’s right of self-defense when in actuality the Goldstone legal analysis does just the opposite, and far more ardently and unconditionally than appropriate, in my view. There is not a word about the Flotilla Incident of a year ago or the recent excessive use of lethal force at the Israeli borders in response to the ‘right of return’ demonstrations associated with the Palestinian remembrance of the 2011 Nakba.

Going beyond the negativity of his State Department comments, Obama mimics Netanyahu in condemning the moves toward Palestinian Authority/Hamas reconciliation and unity. He has the temerity to insist that “the recent agreement between Fatah and Hamas poses an enormous obstacle to peace.” Actually, reasonably considered, the agreement should have been welcomed as an indispensable step toward creating the possibility of peace.

Not a word of challenge is uttered by Obama in front of this AIPAC audience about settlements, Jerusalem, and refugees. Not a word about the Palestinian ordeal, or diminished horizons of possibility, and no White House plan announced to give a talk before a Palestinian audience. The Obama talk was so outrageously one-sided, so contrary to American strategic interests, that it implicitly suggests that the Palestinians are so weak and passive as to let it slip by in silence. Only a justifiable outburst of Palestinian rage could begin to counter this impression of diplomatic surrender.

Palestinian prudence would go further that an angry reaction. After such a speech the only responsible response by the Palestinian leadership is to conclude once and for all, however belatedly, that it is no longer possible to look to Washington for guidance in reaching a peaceful, just, and sustainable resolution of the conflict. Indeed, to allow such a Washington framing of peace at this point, in light of this Obama/Netanyahu posturing, would further disclose the incompetence and illegitimacy that have long handicapped the Palestinian struggle for self-determination based on a just and sustainable peace and founded on respect for Palestinian rights under international law.

TIME LINE OF HISTORY

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

On May 2, 1978, The Ottawa Citizen published a column by Special Correspondent Joseph Kraft headed, “Radicals in Check – Islamic Revival No Threat To West.”

Mr. Kraft served President Kennedy as a speechwriter, and was well connected to the powerful decision makers in Washington, getting his information directly from the Horse’s mouth so to speak.

Mr. Kraft’s May 2, 1978 article can be read here:    Radicals in Check  Islamic revival no threat to West

I wrote the following letter to The Ottawa Citizen in reply to his column, sending a copy to all the Party Leaders in Parliament and the heads of all Religions in CanaDa, Jewish, Christian and Muslim, including every Prince of the Roman Catholic Church. The Citizen did not print it, and the only one to acknowledge it personally was the Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, Leader of the Official Opposition at the time.

It is only with the benefit of 33 years hindsight can it be seen Today’s world has generally evolved along it’s lines. While the projections were inspired by Biblical terms in 1978, the details are being reported in secular terms by the mass media Today.

Two weeks before the 2006 Israeli-Lebanon war, I personally handed a copy directly to General Rick Hillier, the former Chief of the Defence Staff of CanaDa at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa after a Military Funeral for a young Canadian killed in Afghanistan.

Coincidentally, on that Time Line two years later, I was working as a contract worker for the Department of National Defence out the bowels of the National Printing Bureau on Rue Sacre-Coeur (Sacred Heart) in Hull. In fact, the building was designed by Ernest Cormier who also designed The Supreme Court of CanaDa. Being lowest on the Totem Pole, co-incidentally, I was let go by DND earlier on the same day General Hillier quit or was pushed out as CDS. That is still a matter of speculation.

I met him at the door to the CTV studio in downtown Ottawa 3 days later as he was entering to be interviewed on his separation from DND service, and he distinctly recalled the letter and our brief meeting two years earlier.

I wrote to both Joe Clark and General Hillier twice with the request they make some kind of generic, non committal comment confirming the basic Truth of this report, but didn’t get a reply from either person to my email and obviously they have not commented here.
