While this is not about raw milk, it is about raw foods being mistreated as controlled substances by the authorities. You’ve got to wonder what agenda is served in cases like this. Sure, some bored customs officials got to act out their non-consenual bondage and interrogation fantasies on what was probably a cute and innocent young couple. But beyond that?

Every time I hear of a case like this my mind drifts off to thoughts of what some would say is the impending North American Union (NAU), a future EU of North America, in which borders between Canada the US and Mexico are erased and we’d have free movement of persons and goods along with a common currency, the Amero. I think all this border harassment is preparation for the day when the NAU is announced, a day when the authorities hope that people who’ve heard and experienced horror stories like this will breathe a sigh of relief because they’ll think they won’t have to deal with these kind of customs nightmares anymore.

Perhaps, like Justin Trudeau, you think the NAU is the stuff of so called “conspiracy theories”. Well, think like that no more. Our Canadian prime minister Steven Harper has apparently gone on record as supporting the NAU, in a speech given to the Council on Foreign Relations. You’d think something as important as dissolving Canada’s nationhood would be more of an election issue. But the only party that seems to care is too small to appear on the radar of the corporate media.

And now, some excerpts from relevant sources:

First up is a story from the Toronto Star titled: “Couple arrested for carrying raw chocolate – for the second time drug test falsely shows their confection to be hashish”. This story is from Sept 26, 2008 and is by Robyn Doolittle:

“The drug-sniffing dogs were coming. They knew they were in trouble again – for carrying chocolate.

Even with their certified letter from the Department of Justice, which clearly outlined the organic chocolate they were carting across the U.S. border was, in fact, chocolate, Nadine Artemis and her partner, Ron Obadia, prepared themselves for the worst.

Sure enough, just like the last time, the couple was arrested and charged with exporting a controlled substance….”

“….”At first the (customs officials) said, ‘Oh, you guys are just holistic.’ Then the dogs came.”

The animals went nuts over the chocolate. A rapid drug test was done, which returned a false positive result for hashish.

Artemis and Obadia, a yoga expert who once toured with the Barenaked Ladies, were arrested. Their baby son was taken away.

“They took us into separate rooms and interrogated us. That’s when they (lied and) told me Ron had confessed everything,” she said. “We were absolutely dumbfounded, confounded, and, of course, afraid. Utterly afraid.”

They contacted criminal lawyer Marcy Segal. By month’s end, she had arranged for forensic testing that proved the chocolate was, in fact, just that. The charges were dropped….”

And now here’s an excerpt from a more in-depth report on the same case, from Mike Adams at NaturalNews.com:

“… Accused of trafficking two and a half pounds of hashish (which was really just raw, homemade chocolate), Ron and Nadine were arrested, physically separated into interrogation rooms and handcuffed to chairs. Their six-month old baby was forcibly taken from them, and they were immediately subjected to intense interrogation.

Their chocolate looked suspicious, they were told, because it wasn’t in a commercial wrapper. If it’s not Hershey’s, it must be drugs! An on-the-spot drug test from the NIK company (which makes portable drug testing kits) returned a positive result, the Canadian police claimed, and that’s all the evidence they need to arrest anyone.

As you’ll learn later, however, it turns out the NIK drug testing kits return false positives nearly 100% of the time if the results are interpreted incorrectly, as they were in this case… (see photos below).

Is this Canada, or Gitmo?

Emboldened by the positive drug test on the two pounds of raw chocolate, Canadian drug agents scrambled to action. They hadn’t seen a big drug bust in a long time, and excitement was brewing over the possibility of nabbing someone with a whopping two pounds of hashish! Thus, the tyrants of law enforcement went to work on Ron and Nadine, using Guantanamo Bay tactics to try to force them to admit to being hashish drug traffickers.

Over the next several hours, Ron and Nadine were interrogated by the Canadian equivalent of FBI agents who verbally assaulted them using every lying, deceitful police interrogation tactic in the book. They screamed at Ron and Nadine, threatened them with years in prison and even told each of them that the other had already confessed to drug trafficking, trying to trick them into admitting to crimes they never committed. (There is no law that says police have to tell the truth when they are interrogating you, even for false arrest, by the way.)

Through the entire episode, Ron and Nadine resisted the tactics, held their ground and continued to hold positive intentions. “As I was sitting in the cell,” Ron told NaturalNews, “I kept focused on light and truth. I felt like no matter what was happening around me, I was opening up a gateway of light and total truth.”

After the interrogation, the threats of “life in jail” and other dishonest tactics used by law enforcement to try to get them to “admit” to drug trafficking, they were finally released on bail. Their baby son was returned to them, and they went home. For the next 30 days, they were subjected to surprise visits by Children’s Aid employees (the Canadian version of Child Protective Services), who were told by law enforcement authorities that Ron and Nadine were drug smugglers….”

Here’s all the background and detail on this story in a printable form, again from NaturalNews.com

And now from Justin Trudeau’s “Ask Justin” page on his website, a question and answer on our subject for today:

“….What is being done to stop the North American Union and the NAFTA Super Highway?

You don’t need to stop a conspiracy theory, you just need to stop feeding it.

There are legitimate concerns about the ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership’ (SPP), particularly in regards to the lack of transparency and accountability of the process, but to wildly exaggerate those concerns and use them as a way to drum up xenophobic sentiment or advance a political agenda is something I won’t countenance. We’ve all had enough of the politics of division and fear, thank you very much….”

So why pick on Justin Trudeau, you ask. Well he certainly seems like an idealistic young man with his heart in the right place, not your usual political reptile. And yet even he either doesn’t know or isn’t letting on.

I guess we have to go all the way to the Prince George Citizen to get the scoop on news that happened more than a year ago (Sept. 25, 2007). In this story by Paul Chen we learn that Prime Minister Harper officially endorses North American Union“. And thanks to the Conspiracy Culture folks for the link to this story. Here’s an excerpt:

“…Harvard University educated CNN Veteran anchor Lou Dobbs, has further confirmed the official endorsement of the Stephen Harper Minority Conservative government on North American Union, or “New America”.

Mr. Harper has been apparently directed by the principal funders of the Conservative Party of Canada, which are ideologically linked to the CFR, to assimilate Canada into a new “Fortress North America” which is controlled by the U.S. political-military-industrial complex by no later than 2010.

Building a “North American Community”

Indeed, the Stephen Harper government has been reported to be in the process of getting various Canadian government departments and agencies to “harmonize”, with U.S. governmental agencies, to expedite the assimilation of Canada into the neo-conservative vision of a “Fortress North America”.

The Council of Foreign Relations has indeed published a book on its North American Union manifesto entitled “Building a North American Community”.

John Manley, former Deputy Prime Minister in the Paul Martin Liberal Government is a co-author of this book.

Yes, my fellow Canadians, that is why Stephen Harper with ONLY a minority government, has been able to easily pursue North American Union, with what Mr. Lou Dobbs has referred to as a cabal at the CFR.

Political party elites including those among the Liberals and Bloc Québécois, have apparently been all co-opted by the very wealthy Council of Foreign Relations.

North American Union architects have used the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to legitimate the take over of Canada by U.S. interests as a “logical outcome” of the terms of NAFTA.

“When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries.

Security and Prosperity”

“…Mr. Harper’s speech at the CFR on 25 September 2007 affirms Mr. Harper’s Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA) commitment to hand over Canada to full control by no later than 2010, to a political fraternity which is associated with the current U.S. Bush administration. Mr. Harper’s government apparently reports to the CFR.

In effect, the Government of Canada appears to be governed not from a sovereign Parliament in Ottawa, but run through a New York City-based political fraternity, which seeks to replace a democratic form of government, with the rule of society by a “Council of Wise Men”.

The architects of such a fascistic government look upon their vision of society, to be much more “efficient” in dealing with the need to vanquish enemies, i.e. “terrorists”.

‘New World Order’

A terrorist is broadly defined by the architects of the North American Union, as any individual or group which opposes the New World Order agenda.

The CFR website also openly endorses the Conservative Party of Canada under Stephen Harper, alluding to his government having an alleged mandate to transform Canada substantively into a U.S. colony by implementing the recommendations of the CFR, book “Building a North American Community”…”
