***This next post is going to deal with a few thoughts I had about sexual exploitation that I felt were important, but that didn't fit in with the flow of the last deconstruction post. It's going to include references to the #MeToo movement and discussions of sexual exploitation both in the context of Douglas Bland's … Continue reading 37.1 -NPA vs #MeToo
37-Molly’s Speech? (3) -Dreams/Visions
So...a couple of things before we begin: I’ve already mentioned before how I am not Indigenous (not even the proverbial Cherokee grandmother), and I am in no way an expert in First Nations history or culture. I’ve read a few books, watched a few docs, listened to some podcasts. I’d like to think this qualifies … Continue reading 37-Molly’s Speech? (3) -Dreams/Visions
36-Molly’s Speech (2)-Racist?
So this will be the second post on Molly Grace’s brilliant speaking abilities, and…it’s going to get dense. For the next two to three pages it’s going to be like walking against a blast from a firehose of wrong, so prepare yourselves. On a more serious note, this next section is going to involve a … Continue reading 36-Molly’s Speech (2)-Racist?

It will also draw upon the book ‘Saboteurs: Weibo Ludwig's War against Big Oil' by Andrew Nikiforuk for added information.*** The events of the late 1990s which came to be known as … Continue reading Film Studies – Wiebo’s War
32-Abandon all hope
Okay let’s get this deconstruction moving forward again! The ITAC is a professional body of experts from across the Canadian security and intelligence field. They have been convened to analyze the threat posed by the NPA, and what they come up with will help to establish policy for the government response. Now Douglas Bland spent … Continue reading 32-Abandon all hope
Well, this could be interesting…
So this happened a couple of weeks ago: Canada officially has a PPC Party! In real life! I'm mildly annoyed that we still haven't reached the introduction to Uprising's wimpy-left Prime Minister Jack Hemp (yes really) and his wishy washy 'Progressive Party of Canada.' Although I don't know how much comedic value this event might … Continue reading Well, this could be interesting…
31.2-Take a Minute…
Okay. Back to business. So to further build upon my thoughts from the last deconstruction post, another thing that’s leaving me more and more perplexed is the fact that Douglas Bland really doesn’t seem to understand COMSEC, or communications security. This is especially evident in the fact that his NPA headquarters, the Complex in Akwesasne, … Continue reading 31.2-Take a Minute…
