Running well behind my schedule here 🙁
Very quickly:
(1) Hearings resume at 09:30 hours (9:30 am) this morning, Tuesday. 11 September 2007. MArc Carrier will take the stand.
(2) Perry and Helen Dunlop are about to be thrown into the lion’s den, or coliseum, or whatever you call a place where someone is thrown to the wolves and doesn’t have a chance of coming out in tact. They have been summonsed from British Columbia and are scheduled to testify all next week, starting 10:00 am Monday, 17 September 2007, Helen’s birthday.More on this. For now, suffice to say Cornwall has been all about parsing Perry Dunlop’s every word and putting his every move under the microscope from the day he blew the whistle. The “inquiry” is now carrying the torch. The paedophiles of Cornwall can sleep tight.
(3) Ron Leroux has been excused. He will not continue his cross-examination. His application for standing and funding has also been denied.
(4) Justice Glaude has reserved judgement on Carson Chisholm and the Coalition for Action;s bid for standing and funding.
More on that to come.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
STUDY THE “PLAIN FACTS” PUBLISHED ON http://www.theinquiry.ca and conduct your supplementary research. COME TO YOUR own “informed” conclusions.
IGNORE Sylvia’s comments/opinions, if you must, but review the “Plain Facts” “posted” and conduct your own research. Her website is a library of valuable information.
MY OBSERVATIONS and OPINIONS:
For you “objective” scholars and researchers, “THIS IS THE MOMENT”. “THE DUNLOP’S et al,” are coming!!!
I have always been certain of two things; re: “The Inquiry”;
1) “The System” had to get the Dunlop’s et al to the “Public Inquiry”, and, 2) the only way the “plain facts” of this matter will be truely disclosed and properly examined, is by writing a book (not published by mainstream Canadian publishers).
In the formative stages of this Cornwall Public Inquiry, Commissioner Glaude inquired as to why there were so many “high priced”, well-versed lawyers, applying for “standing and funding”. The reply was something like, “to protect the good names of their clients”.
NOW, as the lawyers “run the show”, “they are”, “FOR THE FIRST TIME” and under the “guise” of the “Cornwall Public Inquiry”, presenting a DEFENSE for their clients (i.e. “the accused”). These lawyers are conducting a “one-sided, pre-determined trial” under the “guise” of a public inquiry!!!….and NO opposition or challenges.
NEVER before, in these “related matters”, i.e.) “Project Truth et al” has a “defense” been presented by “the charged-released accused and uncharged accused”.
“Discreetly, presenting a “VEILED DEFENSE”, not affording ANYONE the right to examine or cross-examine, their assertions, representations, scenarios, conclusions or CLIENTS!!
IN addition, no one is asserting “the allegations” which “sparked” “Private Member’s Bill’s” and consequently, the “Public Inquiry.”
ONLY ONE BELIEF is being asserted.
Lawyers for the “victim’s” group, the “community renewal group” and other’s, say nothing or very little…., usually only that they support how the Inquiry is doing. WHY?? Any conflicts of interests? Conflicts with other people who were granted funding and standing? TOO many side litigations? TOO many settlements? Too many “gag orders”? TOO many recent appointments, promises, assignments, fame, notoriety, $$$$$$. Is there at least one of you, who has spent a “lifetime” discovering strategies to “tap into” public dollars for “private industry”, and secure public funding/grants, as a means of “job security”?
In addition to other legal-“modus operandi”, it appears to me, “the lawyers” are permitted to re-write history. THEY are unchallenged!!!!
NO ONE is present, “asserting” the “theory” or presenting “the facts”, that “sexual abuse” or a “pedophile clan” exists/existed.
NOT EVEN, the RECENT, “beneficiary” of public and political praise, who stands to gain substantially in public funding, recognition, etc.
Based on his discoveries,the forementioned “beneficiary” stated “early-on” and in news articles, something similar to the following; “maybe a “paedophile clan” doesn’t exist in Cornwall and Area, but there was definitely a group of people, who met on a regular basis, at various pre-arranged locations, to engage in sexually abusing young boys in particular.”
HELLO!!!NOT EVEN THIS PERSON, why??? (fear? money? anticipated or guaranteed notoriety, fame, longevity and job security? etc.)
ALL the “people” granted “standing and funding” at the inquiry, are, a)defending the “accused”, b)defending the client who could or most definitely would be subject to “liability” claims, c) “alleged victims” or “actual victims” who have “settled” out of court or received “compensation” from court decisions, “The Victim’s Compensation Board” or other “means”, or, d) seeking fame, notoriety, job security and “public dollars” for current and future “ventures” or “promises”.
Sorry, Dunlop’s lawyer is “toothless”. Perry, Helen, Carson et al, will have to ASSERT and ARGUE the facts, as they know them, on their own behalf.
This is also the time for Perry, Helen, Carson et al, to “drop the gauntlet” and TELL ALL, whether “they” want to hear it or not, HOPE FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT……then write a book, (“if allowed”, of course)…can anyone say “Gulag”?
