---------- Forwarded message ---------- Here is POC's submission: Those interested in the "bigger picture" should access our web site and they may wish to go directly to the link at <http://www.geocities.com/universalhumanrights/tortureincanada>. Three opinions are submitted to OIPC. The second and third are made reasonable by the first. To summarize the three opinions below, the Patriot Act may be used to obtain personnel information on British Columbians which is then used in coercive employment plans to further the international political agenda of the United States. Coerced labour is a clear violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly when the coercive employment plans use cruelly punitive or torturously punitive methods and therefore this should be of concern to the political system of BC. (1) Formal complaints concerning the political use of cruelly punitive and torturously punitive treatment for purposes of behavioural control of our citizens have recently been submitted to the ILTC (Institutional Legacy Trust Fund) in BC and the UNCHRC in Geneva. One can easily articulate the punishments presented in employment planning procedures under the administration of the Government of British Columbia. Do they or do they not fit the de jure definition of torturous and cruel treatment? There are experts linked to our web site above who can be asked. Employment planning entails the shaping of attitudes, opinions, values, behaviours in a broad sense because all are relevant to employment success. Without going too far with a "Manchurian Candidate" theme, if the US wants to shape important behaviours in Canadian society, here is where it could focus. The use of cruel and torturous procedures indicates the political importance of employment planning. Otherwise why would anyone violate international criminal law in such programs? (2) It is a POC opinion that the political use of torturous and cruel treatment in BC and Canada can be traced to the misuse of public security practices, or "peace, order and good government" if you prefer a more Canadian-sounding expression; and that the Patriot Act is one possible source of this administrative contamination in BC. It is un-Canadian to apply torture and cruelty to civilian populations but not un-American as the decade-long and US-led trade embargo of Iraq proved. That administrative application denied essentials for health and life to civilians and cost almost 1,000,000 lives. It was clearly stated by Senator Byrd on Charlie Rose recently that genuine public security concerns have been misused in that country for banal political objectives post 9/11. If the Iraq War can be motivated in this way, why not the Patriot Act? The banal political objective of particular concern to POC is the prospect of an over-arching foreign administration using legislation like the Patriot Act to exercise considerable control over the lives of our citizens to shape their political attitudes, opinions, social behaviour and labour. The local mechanism could be employment planning using coercive, cruel and torturous techniques through MHR and other ministries. The spirit of the Patriot Act must be considered along with the letter of the Act. What we have called the "MHR Regimen" and "DOC Paradigm" illustrate well how torturous and cruel punishments can be used to coerce citizen compliance in public administration. It is a POC opinion that such programming has been politically motivated and we should not ignore the prospect that its political motivation is foreign in origin. One of our particular complaints before UNHCHR has to do with political discrimination as a human rights violation. Those with an agenda which was sometimes called "socialist" during the Cold War have been targeted for political discrimination. It is not a secret that the Whitehouse Administration is no friend of what it regards as "socialism". The post 9/11 political agenda involves military, political and economic coercion applied to the internal affairs of other nations. Economic coercion goes at least as far back as Admiral Perry telling the Japanese to redirect their economy to comply with United States wishes or face military attack. The MHR Regimen includes the use of torturous coercion to provide cheap forced labour for United States based companies like MacDonalds and Walmart. The more personnel information which goes south, the more the lives and labours of British Columbians can come under foreign control. But let's repeat the initial assertion. If there is no systematic use of torturous and cruel treatment as part of the BC administration, there is no point in offering opinions as to its origin in the spirit of the Patriot Act or elsewhere. If any expert wishes to dispel the premise, all he/she has to do is respond according to Sections 3.3.2 and 3.3.4 of UK's "Torture Reporting Handbook". In 2000, UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook launched it through Camille Giffard and Essex University by saying it is "a book designed to help torture victims bring their attackers to justice." The Handbook says that those of us who have valid complaints of torture do not bear the burden of proof. "It is the responsibility of the international bodies to determine exactly what amounts to torture or ill-treatment and what does not." (Sec. 3.3.4). Let us narrow the focus. Any expert is invited to tell the ILTC whether it is or is not torturous to threaten former Woodlands residents diagnosed as mentally retarded with eviction, homelessness, and deprivation of other essentials for health and life if they do not comply with employment planning. That is standard employment planning procedure and it generalizes across various social groupings. But let's start with this group for ILTC to demonstrate what is taking place. The POC opinion expressed here is that what we have called the "MHR Regimen" and the "DOC Paradigm" tell us about the use of torture for public governance and they tell us how torturous and cruel treatment of the public can be disguised as counselling, therapy or rehabilitation. The regimen and paradigm can be generalized and adapted to any country. In this case it is a concern about the personnel files of our citizens being fed surreptitiously to a country which trains its experts in torture techniques as indicated by links from <http://www.geocities.com/universalhumanrightscanada/tortureincanada>. (3) Therefore, it is a POC opinion that no personnel files of Canadians should be given to US companies unless they agree to not use them in accordance with the terms of the Patriot Act. In other words the Patriot Act must be limited to US domestic use and not applied to Canada and BC.
