Whether or not it may be admitted in court, an attack on Canada and myself such as "Swami Shyam" launched, is an act of terrorism, subversion, and espionage such as should be governed by our laws and dealt with through CSIS and the RCMP. Since we have no visible agency that is capable of coping with the ghosts and psychic powers such as we found in SCS's group (Shyam Space) I have to deal with it, reckon with it, in any way I can. One of those ways is to uncover ordinary matters of law and crime and facts admissable in court.

OFFICE CONSOLIDATION

CHAPTER C-23

Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act

"threats to the security of Canada" means

(a) espionage or sabotage that is against Canada or is detrimental to the interests of Canada or activities directed toward or in support of such espionage or sabotage,

(b) foreign influenced activities within or relating to Canada that are detrimental to the interests of Canada and are clandestine or deceptive or involve a threat to any person,

(c) activities within or relating to Canada directed toward or in support of the threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property for the purpose of achieving a political objective within Canada or a foreign state, and

(d) activities directed toward undermining by covert unlawful acts, or directed toward or intended ultimately to lead to the destruction or overthrow by violence of, the constitutionally established system of government in Canada,

but does not include lawful advocacy, protest or dissent, unless carried on in conjunction with any of the activities referred to in paragraphs (a) to (d). 1984, c. 21, s. 2.

In order to bring it to the attention of the public I have to cope with these following laws and principles:

From Black's Law Dictionary

Malefia non debent remanere impurita; et impunitas continuum affectum tribut deliquenti;

Evil deeds ought not to remain unpunished, and impunity affords continual incitement to the delinquent.

Qui non prohibit id quod prohibere potest assentire videtur.

Who does not forbid what he is able to prevent, is concidered to assent.
 

actus me invito factus non est meus actus.

An act done by me against my will is not my act.

actus servi in iis quibus opera ejus communiter adhibita est, actus domini habetur.

An act of a servant in these things to which he is employed, is concidered an act of his master.

prius vitiis labora vimus, nunc legibus..

We labored first with vices, now with laws.

Buddhist Scriptures, Edward Conze, Penguin Books, London, 1959

1. Taking life means to murder anything that lives. It refers to the striking and killing of living beings. 'Anything that lives; - ordinary people speak here of a 'living being' but more philosophically we speak here of 'anything that has a life force'. 'Taking life' is then the will to kill anything that one perceives as having life, to act so as to terminate the life-force in it, in so far as the will finds expression in bodily action or in speech. With regard to animals it is worse to kill large ones than small. Because a more extensive effort is involved . Even where the effort is the same the difference in substance must be concidered. In the case of humans the killing is the more blameworthy the virtuous they are. Apart from that the extent of the offense is proportionate to the intensity of the wish to kill. Five factors are involved: a living being, the perception of a living being, a thought of murder, the action of carrying it out, and death as a result if it. and six are the ways in which the offense maybe carried out: with one's own hand, by instigation, by missiles, by slow poisoning, by sorcery, by psychic power.

Candian Security and Intelligence Service.

The CSIS Mandate

CSIS does not have law enforcement powers, therefore, all law enforcement functions are the responsibility of police authorities.

In response to the rise of terrorism worldwide and the demise of the Cold War, CSIS has made public safety its first priority.

This is reflected in the high proportion of resources devoted to counter-terrorism. CSIS has also assigned more of its counter-intelligence resources to investigate the activities of foreign governments that decide to conduct economic espionage in Canada in order to gain an economic advantage or try to acquire technology in Canada that can be used for the development of weapons of mass destruction.

Information may be gathered, primarily under the authority of section 12 of the CSIS Act, only on those individuals or organizations suspected of engaging in one of the following types of activity that threaten the security of Canada, as cited in section 2:

1. Espionage and Sabotage

Espionage: Activities conducted for the purpose of acquiring by unlawful or unauthorized means information or assets relating to sensitive political, economic, scientific or military matters, or for the purpose of their unauthorized communication to a foreign state or foreign political organization.

Sabotage: Activities conducted for the purpose of endangering the safety, security or defence of vital public or private property, such as installations, structures, equipment or systems.

2. Foreign-influenced Activities

Activities which are detrimental to the interests of Canada, and which are directed, controlled, financed or otherwise significantly affected by a foreign state or organization, their agents or others working on their behalf.

For example: Foreign governments or groups which interfere with or direct the affairs of ethnic communities within Canada by pressuring members of those communities. Threats may also be made against relatives living abroad.

3. Political Violence and Terrorism

The threat or use of acts of serious violence may be attempted to compel the Canadian government to act in a certain way. Acts of serious violence are those that cause grave bodily harm or death to persons, or serious damage to or the destruction of public or private property and are contrary to Canadian law or would be if committed in Canada. Hostage-taking, bomb

threats and assassination attempts are examples of acts of serious violence that endanger the lives of Canadians. Such actions have been used in an attempt to force particular political responses and change in this country.

Exponents and supporters of political violence may try to use Canada as a haven or a base from which to plan or facilitate political violence in other countries.

Such actions compromise the safety of people living in Canada and the freedom of the Canadian government to conduct its domestic and external affairs.

4. Subversion

Activities intended to undermine or overthrow Canada's constitutionally established system of government by violence. Subversive activities seek to interfere with or ultimately destroy the electoral, legislative, executive, administrative or judicial processes or institutions of Canada.

The Service uses a variety of collection methods to monitor individuals or groups whose activities are suspected of constituting a threat to national security. Through such monitoring, the Service is able to identify individuals with suspected connections to terrorism and persons operating in Canada on behalf of hostile intelligence services. In addition to monitoring

potential espionage and sabotage efforts, the Service is mandated to inform the government of foreign-influenced activities within or relating to Canada that are detrimental to the interests of Canada and are clandestine or deceptive or involve a threat to any person.

In the competitive global economy of the 1990s, acquiring scientific and technological information from other countries has become increasingly important for many nations. Sometimes, this is done by covert or unlawful means. As a result, CSIS has intensified its activities to detect economic espionage against Canadian scientific and technological interests by foreign governments and/or their surrogates.

COMMENTARY No. 74

Single Issue Terrorism

G. Davidson (Tim) Smith

A Canadian Security Intelligence Service publication

Conclusion

In conclusion, three observations deserve note:

single issue militancy remains dangerous, despite lower levels of activity during the past two years; each of the issues discussed remains controversial and will continue to attract individuals ready to use extremist tactics for selfish or believed-to-be-altruistic reasons; many of those individuals are highly competent and capable of making effective use of modern technology to devise extremely dangerous devices;

there are real concerns about the risks of escalation from vandalism to arson to bombs and ever more spectacular incidents; of copy-cat actions by inept individuals which could seriously endanger lives; and of vigilantism, which could create extraordinary problems for law enforcement and criminal justice systems;

the challenge is to provide an appropriate, reasoned and reasonable response to the threat of single issue terrorism which avoids overreaction and remains within the rule of law.

The following trends suggest the threat of terrorism has not abated.

Nationalism and ethnic unrest remain primary motivators for terrorist activity. Terrorism associated with the Middle East Peace Process and with efforts to resolve the situation in Northern Ireland are two key examples.

Religious extremism continues to be a primary and growing source of terrorism. The experience of the World Trade Centre and related events signal new dangers in a less defined terrorist threat with roots in extremist Islamic fundamentalism. Evidence points to extremists who are bound together by hatred of things Western, especially American, and the existence of Israel. Many are Mujahedin—hardened veterans of the Afghan and Bosnian conflicts.

The Aum Shinrikyo attack in Tokyo is seen as the crossing of a threshold, opening the possibility that other terrorist groups may resort to attacks using weapons of mass destruction or may plan attacks to inflict maximum casualties.

Although ideologically-driven terrorism has subsided, it is not a thing of the past; left-wing groups with a history of terrorism remain active in some countries. Particularly worrisome is the growth of right-wing extremism, which feeds on economic dislocation and reaction to patterns of migration.

State-sponsorship of terrorism persists, providing much-needed logistical support for terrorist groups. Terrorist training centres continue to exist in the Middle East and North Africa.

Terrorist methods continue to become more sophisticated, both in terms of technology and the exploitation of public opinion and media channels.

What is intelligence?

Traditionally, intelligence was broken into categories.

"Commercial intelligence" related to the capabilities and intentions of one's commercial rivals and competitors, often to the acquisition of confidential or proprietary information about their strategies, e.g., bid information, processes, finances or markets.

"Military intelligence" could be either tactical—relating to the disposition of the enemy's troops and equipment in the field—or strategic, relating to longer-term capabilities in the light of total military strength and the capacity to maintain it.

"Security intelligence" applied to threats both from within and without to the basic security of a state and to the integrity of the state system.

"Criminal intelligence" applied to that which the police should know in order to counter and apprehend those engaged in organized crime, smuggling, extortion, terrorism and the like. "Foreign intelligence" was probably the broadest category, in that it related to the defence of a country and the conduct of its foreign affairs in the widest sense.

COMMENTARY No. 45
A CANADIAN SECURITY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE publication

INTELLIGENCE AND POLICY: WHAT IS CONSTANT? WHAT IS CHANGING?

The essentials of intelligence

Two basic commandments should apply to all types of intelligence. The first is that intelligence assessment must be policy relevant. Intelligence does not exist for its own sake; it must be relevant to the concerns and problems on which decisions and policy must be made. To use foreign intelligence as an example, what is happening in Vanuatu is important to New Zealand, but not to Canada. What is happening in Sri Lanka, on the other hand, can be important to Canada, among other reasons, because of the potential impact on immigration and refugee claimants. Intelligence must also make a distinctive contribution to what decision-makers know from other sources; i.e., there must be "value-added". And of course to be useful it must be timely.

The blurring of intelligence categories

The distinctions among categories of intelligence, however described, are becoming increasingly blurred at the same time as the potential subject matter of foreign intelligence has broadened. The illicit international trade in drugs may be for Canada primarily of concern to the police, and therefore fall into the category of criminal intelligence. Yet it also will present problems for Canadian welfare agencies and public authorities who have a stake in enforcement; it will as well be a legitimate concern of foreign intelligence to the extent that it may destabilize régimes in countries where Canada has direct interests. It may also be of interest to security intelligence to the extent that the drug trade is connected to other forces, such as organized criminal gangs with links to foreign countries, which may threaten the stability and integrity of the structure of the state here at home.

To take another example, communal violence in foreign countries (one thinks of Hindu-Sikh clashes in India, Muslim extremists in the Middle East, Kurdish-Turkish violence) is of concern to foreign intelligence because of the potential to cause inter-state tension or intra-state instability. But communal violence is also of direct concern to security intelligence when the internecine strife is transplanted by immigrants or visitors from these countries and waged on Canadian soil.
