Sheep-napping preliminary hearing continues April 27 in Oshawa court

From Michael Schmidt:

The preliminary hearing into the Montana Jones, Michael Schmidt, CFIA, sheep-napping case continues Monday April 27th at the Ontario Court of Justice, 150 Bond St. Oshawa.

Concerned citizens are encouraged to come out and see their civil servants at work on the nation’s business. There should be plenty of room for everyone in room 406 where the hearing will take place.

Expected proceedings include the judge announcing his ruling on the publication ban as well as further discussion about adjourning the preliminary hearing pending delivery by the Crown of the still-missing disclosure documents.

Michael’s Musings:

Reflections on the art of hypocrisy, lying, bullying, making mockery of the justice system and conspiracy.

I cant,t help but reflect on recent developments in regards to the accountability of ones actions as it relates to bureaucrats. They DO DISPLAY A complete disregard for accountability and moral ethics as a Government employee.

This debate does not differ in any way from the debate currently occupying the headlines,”should a young guard in Auschwitz be brought to justice for following orders of the dictatorial machine 70 years ago in Germany.

I know it is a highly sensitive issue to draw a comparison in regards to the current SHEEP NAPPING court proceedings.

Please read below the Policy statements of the CFIA in regards to

ACCOUNTABILITY

TRANSPARENCY

CREDIBILITY

and DEVELOP PUBLIC CONFIDENCE

None of the above has been followed by the prosecution team of the CFIA.

In the coming court proceedings the judge will announce if he will allow the continuation of the publication ban asked for by the CFIA.

If so, then at least we know that the CFIA policy as copied below is a smokescreen and deserves to be nothing else, than a slap in the face of justice.

HISTORY APPARENTLY HAS NOT TAUGHT US ANYTHING. WE ARE STILL SHEEP,

READY TO BE SLAUGHTERED FOR THE SAKE OF SILENT CONSENSUS.

One day, those who are willing participants in these CFIA actions will have to face justice, and they will, People will eventually wake up to the reality that the current governance is as close to Fascism as it ever was.

Enjoy reading, because all is well in this country, as long as you put blinders on.

CFIA’s activities and decisions related to food safety, plant and animal health have a direct affect on the lives and businesses of Canadians.

The reputation and credibility of the CFIA are vital to its ability to deliver its mandate. As such, the CFIA is committed to being accountable in how it does business in part by informing stakeholders and the public of its regulatory activities and decisions and reporting publicly on its performance.

Accessibility – Information will be made available in both official languages in formats which are clear and accessible to all parties affected or interested, with no requirement of registration.
