Sure, that is about 800 more countries than exist on this planet but, hey, close enough for a newsreader.
Nonetheless, there is definitely a movement for change going on in the world... and this has a number of governments scared. Most western governments are essentially bankrupt and attempting to cling to power a little longer by once again printing money.
Governments are like an organism. And, like a dying animal, governments around the world are thrashing about in their death throes finding any possible way to keep their enslavement game going a little while longer.
One of the predominant ways governments have begun to do so are to label anyone who is against their taxes, laws, welfare or wars as terrorists. The word "terrorism" has been sensationalized to the point where even saying the word scares people. So, all governments need to do to try to quell the masses is to make as many of us into terrorists as possible.
THE WAR ON TERRORISM
Some may think that the "War on Terrorism" is a US phenomenon... but it's not. It's been taken up by most western countries as a way to oppress the people. Recently, we met an investment advisor from Canada, named Ian, who told us of just how the Canadian Government is beginning to pursue its own "War on Terror".
Ian told us how he received a letter from the Canadian Government a few weeks ago and was told he had to fill out an online questionnaire. He was told if he didn't fill out the questionnaire that he would lose his license to be an investment advisor. That caught his attention for obvious reasons.
He took a screen capture of one page of the questions:
Two things come immediately to mind.
First, given that there is no "None of the Above" answer for Question 1, it appears as though the Canadian Government considers all animal rights activists and environmental extremists to be terrorists. Sorry,
We are all terrorists now... it is just a matter of picking your affiliation. Home Grown? Islamic? Single Issue? or Al Qaida?
