click here to go to our ordeal online
Attention Brother Gerard Plum Village, Sister Monique Tessierr, Brother Radian Blue Cliff Monastery (Phap Huy) - and Thay- In the spirit of engaged Buddhist practice and opposition to calamity war government afflictions and suffering,
our family respectfully appeals to your graces in assisting us in dealing with 5 years longstanding government imposed afflictions and persecution upon our family which we now long endure at the hands of baseless hate based ideology and state tyranny- tyranny that has threatened our family's lives and my abduction to torture.
We seek a freedom and relief from our suffering. Moreover, for purposes of personal safety, and the internal peace that will come from vindication retribution redemption and validation of our ordeal and our suffering as human beings, we seek a greater public awareness of our ordeal as one that serves as a microcosm of and highlights larger spectrum systemic state abuses as described further below. State abuses that have become so prevalent that our local journalist has informed us that these abuses now have their own term: SCAD or "State Crimes Against Democracy" as seen below.
Details of our ordeal http://james-press.blogspot.
Our journalist Lesley Hughes has forwarded me a copy of Project Censored's report on SCAD (a new term called "State Crimes against Democracy")
It is a subject contained within the scope of Project Censored's Censored 2011 Edition - as our journalist Lesley Hughes describes, it covers state abuses ranging from abductions (as in our case) to the transport of abductees to secret black site prisons not only around the world - but also within* the United States!!
(Please see PDF on SCAD here: http://bit.ly/gDRrL5
using the search button search for the word "Scad": 7 results will display indicating sections of the document in which State Crimes against Democracy are described***)
- as our journalist Lesley Hughes explains this is a cutting edge new term that shines a light and provided a much needed term for the kind of abuses we continue to suffer). As seen further below, Lesley intends to write a book review going into the details of SCAD and publish it in an upcoming edition of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Many to whom I have sent this communication will know that my abduction to torture has been threatened by members of the agencies amidst multiple attempts upon the abduction of my person has been carried out notwithstanding the accompaniment therein of threats upon my mother's life and my family. Many whom are familiar with our ordeal will know that the reason that our family bore these afflictions was result of our having been targeted under racial and religious profiling mechanisms kindred with the United States of America's false flag abuses known as "The War on Terror" and a racial profiling program under which TSA agents at United States Minneapolis' Bloomingdale Airport had just undergone in the 6 months prior to our arrival in the U.S. as Canadian citizens traveling to the Mayo clinic in Rochester MN for medical consultation.
On our return trip back to Canada TSA agents egregiously accused my mother of harboring a suspicious bag after* we had already passed through the security gates and were already on board the plane- I was later attacked on board the aircraft and left bloodied, held 9 days without Miranda, my phone calling card made defunct while subject to FBI interrogation, while Canadian Consular officials told me over the phone "let us know if they torture you although we will not be involved this is a U.S. affair"
The attack was a retaliatory response to our having complained about the treatment of our baggage on our way down to Mayo Clinic from Canada 3 days prior in which Northwest Airlines had lied to us about having "misplaced" our belongings wherein, delivered to our hotel 3 hours later, we discovered it had been seized and searched for "security" reasons- In MN, the state in which there is the highest targeting of blacks and Somalis and 21 people of color imprisoned for every person of majority, it had become clear we had been racially profiled.
Subsequent to the racial profiling attack we were subject to extrajudicial persecution- a covert trial more like tribunal in which false charges were laid and the jury pool housed members and or affiliates of Northwest Airlines, FBI, military and other agencies.
My name was thereafter placed on FBI.gov in order to falsely villanize us further under their false propaganda and hate based ideology.
Subsequently, we protested the abuses and ultimately, reactionary response to our online protests manifested in threatening communications from self identifying FBI and other U.S. agencies as posted to our youtube and blogger accounts, and ultimately, in multiple attempts upon my abduction during the 2008 election year forcing me into hiding in remote and harsh conditions, often devoid of proper light or heat or food - I became cut off from family and uncertain of their own survival given threats that agencies had made upon their persons as well, which made the isolation even more difficult as it was compounded by constant worry about loved ones. Court records reveal that these crimes against our family involve collusion between members of both U.S. and Canadian government agencies as is reflected within court documents and police notes subpoenaed in court hearings investigating these matters thereafter.
Ultimately, when I pointed to the placement of my name on FBI.gov during interview I conducted from undisclosed location as evidence of covert state abuses ongoing, within 24 hours my name had been removed from their listings and our former website destroyed and taken down, in order to conceal their actions further.
As our journalist Lesley Hughes attests, the agencies had gone so far as to place someone on CBC television who stole and assumed my identity at the beginning of the election year, providing a watered down story that gave mention of none of the state abuses described herein. In this way, the story could be quickly forgotten and the light of public scrutiny removed, in order that the agencies involved could act under a greater degree of stealth in their pursuits of still further harm to come upon our family in covering up and providing occlusion to their crimes.
Northwest Airlines (the airline on which my mother and I were profiled and then attacked) was the official carrier for the Republican Party's McCain campaign of 2008. Northwest Air was a top lobbyist. Northwest Airlines former CEO Fred Malick was John McCain's campaign Co-Chair and remains a top financier of the Bush Library Foundation as well as having lobbied heavily on behalf of the Bush administration in their 1988, 1992 and 2004 elections.
This is relevant because during the peak of government's attempts upon our family's lives amidst the election year, our family received a threatening communication from FBI copied to the attention of John McCain! This was by far the most alarming of the threatening communications we received from the agencies at large. Even more disturbing was the threatening phone call that came with it in which agent of the FBI threatened my abduction to torture and made threats upon my mother's life.
Court records and subpoena of local police notes (local police were being used to facilitate government's many attempts upon my abduction from my home until I was ultimately forced into hiding) reveal collusion between local Winnipeg Police, FBI, U.S. Marshals, Canadian Parliamentary Security, Immigration Canada and other agencies. The name Peter MacKay, current Minister of Defense and past Minister of Foreign Affairs (the agency that had passively reconciled me to torture "Let us know if they torture you " they had said) appears on several documents particular to our ordeal in which it is clear government make concerted attempt to cover up the nuances of our ordeal still further.
Winnipeg Police are motivated further in that local Winnipeg Police Chief Keith McCaskill is president of the Northwest Chapter of Associates FBI, and has affiliation with Minneapolis law enforcement as seen in his Biography online. As such local police have been surreptitiously co-opted to act stealthily (and unlawfully) towards the advent of my abduction to the United States.
When asked if he knew anything of our ordeal, Winnipeg Police Chief Keith McCaskill told city councilor Harvey Smith he did not, and yet McCaskill's personal signature appears on the second page of a two page denial of Freedom Of Information Access request returned to our attorney Adam Masiowski of Pinx Law who had originally requested that police release to us police notes particular to October 27 2007 (the date marking their first attempt upon my abduction). Though the Winnipeg Police Chief was difficult in initially refusing these notes, later when subpoenaed in court, these notes revealed police' collusion with government and U.S. agencies as described and confirm the ongoing plots and ploys government arrange with an aim to harm our family further and conceal their crimes. When police first came to make attempt upon my abduction October 27 2007 my home was raided I was kidnapped and transported to police headquarters at the "public Safety" building, where I was denied water and food for 12 hours. During that time, police taunted me stating "OUR BOSS*** (most likely McCaskill) says Minneapolis has unfinished business with you- We have Minneapolis Police come up here to train all the time! He says maybe we should leave you here locked up long enough for one of them to come up and get* you! Would you like that?!"
Our journalist is hopeful in that this new term "SCAD" (State Crimes Against Democracy) conjures a tangible publicly acknowledged term to designate the kind of state abuse our family has suffered at the hands of U.S. agencies for years, the extraordinary subject matter of which has always been subject to public disbelief and ridicule out of ignorance - More recently we have uncovered new evidence that will work in tandem with the new public awareness of SCAD- a signed confession from the FBI copied to Washington in which P.I./FBI asset agent Steven C. Davis attests to the abuses the FBI and State have inflicted upon our family in keeping with the ideology described in project Censored's new book Censored 2011 in which SCAD (State Crimes against Democracy) is of new central issue.

"THE FAR REACH OF US POLICE STATE REPRESSION...Apparently the feds have way too many agents and not enough real crime to worry about. While some agents were busy abusing their power against our local activists, others were working in cahoots with the Winnipeg police department to continue the ongoing harassment of Aaron James. We've told you about Aaron's story in past editions of the newsletter. Aaron is a multiethnic Canadian citizen who happens to have been unfortunate enough to fly on Northwest Airlines back in January 2006 right after one of their nitwit flight attendants had her "how to recognize a terrorist" training... He also had the
misfortune of needing to use the restroom as the
plane was boarding. He left his backpack on the
seat next to his mother, who is white, and by the
time he tried to get back to his seat, he was
greeted by a whole group of Minneapolis cops who
threw him to the ground, beat and stomped him and
then charged him with federal offenses. In a
clearly biased trial that included relatives of
Northwest Airlines staff and cops on the jury,
Aaron was convicted. Although he had come to
Minnesota to be seen at Mayo clinic for a serious
injury, he and his mother were forced to go back
to Winnipeg by bus, as he was banned from all US flights.
Aaron thought his own government would stand up
for his rights against US tyranny but he would
soon learn that was wrong. In the years since
his conviction, he has endured multiple
warrantless raids on his house, arrests, and
attempts to abduct and forcibly extradite him to
the US. During one of the raids, two ornamental
Japanese swords (wall hangings) were taken by
Winnepeg police and sent to the Minneapolis
police department. When ordered to return his
property, cops claimed they never took it. Why?
Because after Aaron returned to Canada, he
started putting up websites and blogging about
what happened to him in the US. His websites
have been repeatedly taken down, the content
hijacked, his URLs redirected to racist websites, etc.
For a long time, Aaron had a hard time getting
people to believe what was happening to him
though a few journalists have stepped forward to
report on his case. Recently, though, he
obtained proof of FBI collusion with Winnipeg
police. FBI agent Marc Rensch and US Marshall
Kelly Mutschler had claimed to the Winnipeg cops
that Aaron had two arrest warrants in the US (he
doesn't) and they seem to be on a personal
mission to bring Aaron to the US. Just last week,
Aaron was in a coffee shop meeting with a
journalist when he noticed a man watching
him. He and the journalist moved three times,
only to have the man follow them and sit at
adjoining tables. After Aaron took his picture,
the man identified himself as a US marine.
The antiwar activists who face grand jury
subpoenas have bravely resisted and have received
an enormous outpouring of support from people
around the country. Aaron has largely battled
the repression he has faced on his own. Please
support all people facing police state
repression. To learn more about the antiwar
activists facing grand jury subpoenas, go to

On another note, regarding our past conversation on Project Censored and Sonoma, it was Peter Phillips to whom I spoke (his name is below) - this is the individual whom had said he was "put off" by the presentation style of our material (particular to my adornment of a swastika over the face of John McCain- in which I make a public statement of the state tyranny under which those connected to McCain and the Republican party have subject us in order to silence our online voices of protest against the racial profiling attack my mother and I endured aboard Northwest Airlines- the official carrier for the McCain campaign, and the abduction ploys under which we were assailed thereafter during the election year as per the Republican Party's bid to silence our voices of protest for political reasons as tied to the elections).
I observed that he chose not to return my calls from that point forward. He can be reached at (707) 874-2695 or by email at peterSincerely,
Aaron James.
Let me know that you have rec'd this when you can......
