This is a piece which I read at our Public readings on Dec 10th 2013
Nelson Mandela’s deep respect for Canada ?
It is just too bad that Canada the corporation does not
respect Mr. Nelson Mandela or his life’s work, his sacrifices, his perseverance
and pride in his people. The appearance of former CEO’s of Canada is to all
Canadian citizens repulsive hypocritical and completely disrespectful. How can
it be anything else?
I truly feel that
these less than honorable persons should stay home in their own racist
apartheid police state. In a state which they themselves have continued and
still continue to perpetuate upon its own peoples. These current and former
leaders of a country built on and by sadistic, genocidal, inhumane and
torturous domestic political policies which targeted innocent children and
families, should absolutely not be representing the very citizens who were
traumatized and devastated by these same policies and immoral ideals which these
so called representatives still uphold today.
To me this is tantamount to sending
a delegation of white supremacists clad in the Canadian flag to Mr. Mandela’s
memorial. This is extremely insulting repugnant and a massive diplomatic faux
pas on behalf of the Nation of Canada and its citizenry.
Does any reasonable person actually believe that someone
like Mr. Nelson Mandela would truly respect a leader of a country who has just
targeted a majority of his citizens as adversaries and eco-terrorists? Nelson
Mandela was a very smart, wise and cunning person who achieved his and his
nation’s goals by smiling in the face of his enemies. So it could be excused
that his gentle manner warm smile conviction and diplomatic skills be
misinterpreted by those who are void of any such qualities, as having his
personal respect.
As imitation is the
truest form of flattery, then possibly the truest form of respect is to follow
Mr. Mandela’s example, adopt his principles, his morality, his sense of justice
and equality for all.
If our current puppet leader wishes to truly pay respect to
this extraordinary man he should return to Canada immediately reconvene
parliament and force through legislation. Legislation which would once and for
all eliminate any and all oppressive fascist racist or tyrannical legislation
which is still on or about to be placed on the books. He should cease the continual
perpetuation of the great Canadian lie. A lie that is so convincing that
apparently even Mr. Mandela himself, much like the majority of all Canadians
since confederation, have been so completely fooled by. As if there was anyone on this planet who
would be able to recognize institutional racism it would be the man who has
stared in the face of it for most of his life.
Personally recalling his affinity and the strength which he drew
from the poetic work “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley, specifically the
closing lines” I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” As any
good experienced responsible captain of any vessel would do, I would surely
welcome aboard someone like Mr. Nelson Mandela as the pilot of my soul to help
this captain chart his course through the difficult treturous channels and
passages of life in today’s Canada.
