Lloyd’s Register of Pedophiles - Relayed Ignition Signals - Embedded Incendiary Bombs - Martec, a Lloyd’s Register Subsidiary In Quebec

Press release: Monday April 18, 2011

From the desk of David Hawkins
Independent Candidate: South Surrey – White Rock – Cloverdale

Can Hawkins or Harper disarm Bombardier's Deepwater bombs?

An Independent Candidate in Canada’s 41st Election, I am investigating an illegal electronic-warfare capability, apparently developed by Stephen Harper’s former pilot Russell Williams to relay ignition signals via Bombardier-jet tail cones, allegedly and illegally-modified by Lloyd’s Register-owned Martec in Quebec, to trigger incendiary bombs embedded in pre-insured targets such as the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. (Youtube http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hawkscafe/message/1592)

My research indicates that Lloyd's Register officials infiltrated Martec saboteurs onto Transocean’s Deepwater Horizon rig in March 2010 under the pretext of conducting an investigation into the efficiency of rig workers following the introduction of a “21-on-21-off policy”; Lloyd’s agents conveniently discovered that rig fatigue was most pronounced during the third week of a 21-day hitch and even managed to get one Deepwater manager to declare that the 21-on/21-off policy was "definitely increasing the risk of an incident.”

I note that, prior to the explosion on Deepwater Horizon, the Lloyd’s Register company, Martec, helped a private operator to modify a number of tail-cones for Bombardier’s CL600 Challenger Aircraft to carry a more-advanced electronic warfare capability.

Of even greater concern, is the discovery that Transocean, the owner of the rig leased by BP, made a $270 million profit from insurance payouts by doubled its coverage just before the blowout in an apparent conspiracy with Lloyd’s Register and Martec saboteurs.

Motive, opportunity and weapon’; perhaps Mr. Harper and my fellow candidates will explain how they plan to disarm Bombardier-triggered Deepwater bombs which Lloyd’s Register appears to have embedded on pre-insured offshore rigs around the world.

How Lloyd’s Register of Pedophiles triggered Bombardier Deepwater bombs

Abel Danger and Hawks CAFE believe that Crown Agents’ Sister Mary Elizabeth Harriman, authorized the Lloyd’s Register of Pedophiles to relay ignition signals to incendiary bombs embedded in the Deepwater Horizon via the tail-cones of Bombardier aircraft which had been illegally-modified to carry patented electronic-warfare devices by Martec, a Lloyd’s Register subsidiary in Quebec.

Marie-France Comeau, but the submissive Bombardier-pilot’s preferred sexual activity was the killing of kids in pedophile snuff films staged by Mothers of SOS Children’s Villages.

“Williams's murder victims pleaded for their lives WARNING: This story contains disturbing sexual and violent details and images Last Updated: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 | 10:35 PM ET CBC News Both of Col. Russell Williams's murder victims — Jessica Lloyd and Cpl. Marie-France Comeau — desperately pleaded for their lives before he killed them, a court hearing in Belleville, Ont., heard Tuesday .. An agreed statement of facts read out in court traced the chronology and escalation of Williams's offences [known by CSIS to date back to Crown Agents S&M with Mary Elizabeth Harriman, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homulka] from the theft of women's and girls' underwear from their homes to the killings. The evidence includes thousands of photographs Williams took of himself during and after the break-ins, which occurred at a total of 48 Ontario homes in or around Belleville, Tweed and Orleans. In some of the photos, he poses or masturbates while wearing girls' underwear. In others, he is seen wearing girls' underwear and parts of what the Crown said appears to be his Canadian military uniform.

“[Abel Danger and Hawks CAFE infers from the spoliation (burning) of the Bombardier-pilot’s uniforms that they carried the DNA of his pedophile snuff-film victims and the authority to burn therefore came from the global clients of a Bombardier-based electronic warfare and pedophile snuff-film network] Williams military uniform burned Last Updated: Friday, November 19, 2010 | 1:09 PM ET The Canadian Press The Canadian Forces has taken what's believed to be an unprecedented step in burning the uniform of convicted killer Russell Williams. Four officers entered the eastern Ontario cottage where the former colonel committed one of his murders to retrieve his military clothes and other gear on Wednesday. Cmdr. Hubert Genest said Williams's clothes were held overnight in a military storage facility, then burned Thursday at CFB Trenton — the base Williams once commanded. Genest said uniforms and other equipment are usually retrieved when someone leaves the military, but he's never seen it burned. Genest said the step was taken because much of the clothing had Williams's name on it. Williams was convicted last month of first-degree murder in the rapes and murders of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 38, of Brighton, Ont., and Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville, Ont. He also pleaded guilty to 82 fetish break-and-enters and thefts and two sexual assaults. Williams is now serving a life sentence at Kingston Penitentiary with no possibility of parole for 25 years. No classified documents were found during the search, and some of his unmarked books and manuals were spared, Genest said. Williams was a pilot and took French classes, so those reading materials could be reused, he said. The military is still in the process of retrieving Williams's medals and his commission scroll, an official document signed by the Governor General and minister of national defence that confirms he was a serving officer, Genest said.”

Abel Danger and Hawks CAFE make a spoliation inference to presume that DNA on the JonBenet Ransey ‘Victory’ ransom note will match the DNA of Bombardier pilot Russell Williams’ wife or an alleged bisexual fellow passenger, Karla Homolka, the bilingual, pedophile snuff-film producer who was apparently granted a 1996 Christmas Day furlough from a prison operated by Service correctionnel du Canada (Correctional Service Canada).

Mike Hood as commanding officer at CFB Trenton on July 15, 2009. * On Dec. 11, 2009, Col. Russ Williams welcomed the Olympic torch when it stopped in Trenton. He said: "On behalf of the base I would like to take the time to thank RBC for providing us with the opportunity to participate in this event. It's very exciting to be a part of this." * On Jan. 30, 2010, Williams was interviewed about 8 Wing's participation in Haiti relief. Williams said that in addition to Haiti, 8 Wing co-ordinates the resupply for Canada's mission in Afghanistan and air support for the Vancouver Olympics, which has a significant military presence. * According to Williams's DND profile, he is a keen photographer, fisherman and runner. Williams is married to a woman named Mary Elizabeth, and they lived on Cosy Cover Lane in Tweed, Ont., which is about 60 kilometres northeast of CFB Trenton .. Colonel Russell Williams, 46, commander of 8 Wing, was arrested on Sunday and charged with the two murders, and also two violent sexual assaults that took place last fall in Tweed, the small town where Col. Williams and his wife, a charity executive [links to SOS Pedophile Villages?], share a home. Police detectives working the file are now reviewing all cold cases of missing and slain women at every military posting -- including Canada's secret base in the Middle East -- at which Col. Williams has served during his 23-year career. [Given spoliation of evidence of EW sexual extortion (‘sextortion’) and child pornography at the Bombardier Pilot’s home, RCMP Commissioner William Elliot must ensure his officers have checked the Bombardier Pilot wife’s or erstwhile passengers’ mens rea, handwriting and DNA against the JonBenet ransom note]”

911 Electronic Warfare - Bombardier BAE 911 - Canadian Governor General’s Bombardier Aircraft - BAE Protégé Companies - Attack On America

Canada is a hub for global crime The Chatham Daily News A lecturer on organized crime has warned a summit of police and government officials in Toronto this week that Canada has become one of the world's most important hubs for global crime syndicates. It was a speech that should send a frightening message to law enforcement officials who were warned that the country is quickly becoming a hub for international drug trafficking, organized fraud and corresponding money-laundering operations by many crime syndicates. Much of the focus of the problem seems to centre around Canada's revolving immigration door which lets everyone in regardless of their criminal past, according to the lecturer, Antonio Nicaso, who has written nine books on criminal gangs. When criminals openly describe Canada as a safe haven where there is a much lower risk of detention and prosecution than in the United States or Europe, then it is time for the government to act. The summit was organized by the government of Ontario and attended by the attorney-generals of Ontario, P.E.I. and New Brunswick, as well as senior policy makers and police officials from several countries to help law enforcement agencies better combat organized crime. Perhaps representatives of the federal government should have been in attendance so they can toughen anti-gang legislation to help law enforcement agencies get a better handle on the problem.

A number of employees of OFI, which was part of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) before privatization, refused to accept the terms of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The late Democratic Senator Paul Simon of Illinois was particularly opposed to the privatization of OFI. After OFI became USIS, the timeliness and quality of the security background checks conducted on Federal employees quickly deteriorated according to former OFI employees. They saw USIS being turned into a cash laundering operation whereby a few officials at the top became instant millionaires. Insiders also report that USIS "branched" into other operations never before conducted by OFI/OPM.”

How revolving funds of Canada collided with Air France 447

Abel Danger believes that Crown Agents Sister and former Canadian Governor General Michaëlle Jean, authorized Colonel Russell Williams to use Equity of Canada revolving funds to procure modifications by Thales et al. of Bombardier's FlexJet fleet of aircraft in support of electronic warfare, virtual deception and insurance fraud on commercial airlines.

We also believe that a Bombardier FlexJet plane, allegedly directed by EW specialist, Colonel Russell Williams, transmitted bogus TCAS signals to the flight-control computers of Air France Flight 447 to amplify a Thales pilot-tube error and generate the fatal anti-collision maneuvers of June 1, 2009 and an insurance fraud on Lloyd's of London.

“[TCAS] A traffic collision avoidance system or traffic alert and collision avoidance system (both abbreviated as TCAS) is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (MAC). It is a type of airborne collision avoidance system mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organization to be fitted to all aircraft with a maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of over 5700 kg (12,586 lbs) or authorized to carry more than 19 passengers. Official definition from PANS-ATM (Nov 2007): ACAS / TCAS is an aircraft system based on secondary surveillance radar (SSR) transponder signals which operates independently of ground-based equipment to provide advice to the pilot on potential conflicting aircraft that are equipped with SSR transponders. In modern glass cockpit aircraft, the TCAS display may be integrated in the Navigation Display (ND) or Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI); in older glass cockpit aircraft and those with mechanical instrumentation, such an integrated TCAS display may replace the mechanical Vertical Speed Indicator (which indicates the rate with which the aircraft is descending or climbing).”

IF IT'S NOT A RUNAWAY, IT'S NOT A REAL GRAND JURY - ROGER ROOTS†

IF IT'S NOT A RUNAWAY, IT'S NOT A REAL GRAND JURY
ROGER ROOTS†

I. INTRODUCTION

The doings of American grand juries are notoriously misunderstood and unknown by most sectors of the public.[1] Generally, the grand jury process escapes obscurity only when indictments are made public and when, for whatever reason, grand jury "leaks" are disclosed in the news media.[2] In theory, the grand jury is supposed to act as a check on the government — a people's watchdog against arbitrary and malevolent prosecutions.[3] By and large, however, federal grand juries rarely challenge federal prosecutors.

Today, critics are nearly unanimous in describing the alleged oversight function of modern grand juries as essentially a tragic sham.[4] The Framers of the Bill of Rights would scarcely recognize a grand jury upon seeing the modern version conduct business in a federal courthouse.[5] In modern federal grand jury proceedings, the government attorney is clearly in charge and government agents may outnumber the witnesses by six-to-one.[6]

A "runaway" grand jury, loosely defined as a grand jury which resists the accusatory choices of a government prosecutor, has been virtually eliminated by modern criminal procedure. Today's "runaway" grand jury is in fact the common law grand jury of the past. Prior to the emergence of governmental prosecution as the standard model of American criminal justice, all grand juries were in fact "runaways," according to the definition of modern times; they operated as completely independent, self-directing bodies of inquisitors, with power to pursue unlawful conduct to its very source, including the government itself.[7]

Before the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure — which made independently-acting grand juries illegal for all practical purposes — grand juries were understood to have broad powers to operate at direct odds with both judges and prosecutors.[8] One recent criminal procedure treatise sums up the inherent inconsistency of the modern grand jury regime:

In theory, the grand jury is a body of independent citizens that can investigate any crime or government misdeed that comes to its attention. In practice, however, the grand jury is dependent upon the prosecutor to bring cases and gather evidence. Except in rare instances of a "runaway" grand jury investigation of issues that a prosecutor does not want investigated, the powers of the grand jury enhance the powers of the prosecutor.[9]

Thus, while the grand jury still exists as an institution — in a sterile, watered-down, and impotent form — its decisions are the mere reflection of the United States Justice Department.[10] In practice, the grand jury's every move is controlled by the prosecution, whom the grand jury simply does not know it is supposed to be pitted against.[11]

The term "runaway grand jury" did not appear in legal literature until the mid-twentieth century.[12] The reason for this is that the term would have been inapplicable in the context of previous generations: every American grand jury known by the Constitution's Framers would be considered a runaway grand jury under modern criminal procedure. Constitutional framers knew criminal law to be driven by private prosecution and did not contemplate the omnipresence of government prosecutors.[13] Additionally, early American common law placed far more power and investigative judgment in the hands of grand juries than does the criminal procedure of the twentieth century.

Although in 1946 the drafters of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure looked with horror at the prospect of grand juries that "could act from their own knowledge or observation,"[14] long-standing common law precedent upholds the power of grand juries to act "independently of either the prosecuting attorney or judge."[15] At common law, a grand jury could freely "investigate merely on [the] suspicion that the law [was] being violated, or even because it want[ed] assurance that it [was] not."[16] In light of the historic independence of the grand jury, the perfidy of the Federal Rules Advisory Committee in limiting the institution through codification can only be seen as willful subversion of well-settled law.[17] A truly independent grand jury — which pursues a course different from the prosecutor — is today so rare that it is an oddity, and a virtual impossibility at the federal level since Rule 6 was codified in 1946.
Looking into our circumstances...
