Naomi > Klein reports in today's Globe and Mail (April 21) that only minutes after she had > been speaking to him on the phone, Jaggi Singh was surrounded by three > policy/security force members dressed as activist, shoved to the ground and kicked, > thrown in an unmarked van, and driven away. When his friends tried to liberate him, > they were fought off with batons and the police identified themselves. The fact that > Jaggi was encouraging people to move away from the fence, and wasn't engaged in any > violent activity that day might have less to do with the fact that some powerful > people 1. don't like what he has to say, 2. are apprehensive of his name and > ethnicity, 3. are apprehensive of his dark skin colour. In short, racism and > repression of free speech have a lot to do with Jaggi's arrest. At this point, no one > knows where he is being held. Must we live in a police state rife with racism, > whether in Cincinnati or Quebec city? Must we have our civil rights curtailed and > suspended by the police and their powerful executive at a whim? FREE JAGGI SINGH!! > Police and the mainstream media label the 'dangerous factions' of protests > 'anarchist', and use this as an excuse to detain anyone, let alone an articulate, > considerate individual like Jaggi who identifies with this political ideology. Is > this Stalinist Russia, where dissidents could be rounded up and imprisoned for their > political views, despite the fact they had done nothing? The police's labelling of > Jaggi and the CLAC is a facile excuse for repression, as anarchism or any other > political ideology has little to do with individual acts of violence - whether the > shot of a rubber bullet or the throwing of a piece of concrete. One of Jaggi's most > powerful messages has been that the free market inflicts violence on the world's poor > and the environment. He has been followed covertly, been beaten, taken and had his > civil rights suspended without recourse. He has been made a victim of arbitrary > silencing and oppression, while leaders inside the fence muse about democracy. What > hypocrisy. FREE JAGGI SINGH!! Bear witness to police repression!!

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
