 | Taser death details revealed The Canada Border Services Agency is expected to face tough questions at a news conference Monday about the circumstances surrounding the death of a Polish immigrant at Vancouver International Airport last month. - Border Services officials are expected to give for the first time their account of an alleged communication breakdown on Oct. 14 in the hours before Robert Dziekanski's death. - Dziekanski died just minutes after he was given two Taser jolts and pinned down by four RCMP officers at the airport. - The 40-year-old, who did not speak fluent English, became agitated after languishing for hours in a secure customs area as his mother fruitlessly tried to get help finding him from the public side. - The incident, which was captured on video by a witness, has sparked fierce debate over the officers' actions and the use of Tasers by law enforcement agencies across the country. - Yet it is unclear where Dziekanski was during his 10 hours at the airport, what he was doing and why no translators or airport staff were on hand to assist him. - Walter Kosteskyj, a lawyer who represents Dziekanski's mother, Zofia Cisowski, told CBC News on Monday that after confirming Dziekanski's flight had arrived, a companion who had driven her to the airport was told by a CBSA official that there was no record of a Polish immigrant arriving that day. - "He was told that without breaching any confidence, there were no Polish immigrants there today and that they should go home, that he wasn't there," Kosteskyj said. - The companion said the conversation lasted four or five minutes and the border services official wasn't interested in checking Dziekanski's name, Kosteskyj added. - The exchange prompted Cisowski to return to her home in Kamloops, B.C., believing her son had missed his flight. - At least seven investigations, including a provincial inquiry and a House of Commons public safety committee investigation, have been called to probe Dziekanski's death or the use of Tasers since last month.

Besides, the oil reserves in this area are much higher than on the whole American continent'." Dr. Nahum Goldmann (7th meeting of the Canadian Jewish Congress in the spring of 1947) "There were many more shocking crimes committed by these abject degenerates known as "Jewish statesmen", we could list many more example, but for the time being let anyone produce a valid excuse for the above facts. Zionist responsibility for the Holocaust is threefold: 1. The Holocaust was a punishment for disrespecting The Three Oaths http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/zionism/3strongoaths.cfm 2. Zionist leaders openly withheld support, both financially and otherwise, to save their fellow brothers and sisters from a cruel death. 3. The leaders of the Zionist movement cooperated with Hitler and his cohorts on many occasions and in many ways." Rabbi Gedalya Liebermann anti-Zionist Australian Jew, The Role of Zionism in the Holocaust. "It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . . I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-Semites shall be our best friends." Theodor Herzl, supposed founder of Zionism articulating the use of "anti-Semitism" as a tool to manipulate both Jews and Goyim; From his Diary, Part I, pp. 16 (1897) "If I am asked, "Could you give from the UJA moneys to rescue Jews, 'I say, NO! and I say again NO!" Izaak Greenbaum, head of Jewish Agency Rescue Committee February 18, 1943, Addressed to the Zionist Executive Council. "One Cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland" Izaak Greenbaum "The hopes of Europe's six million Jews are centred on emigration. I was asked: 'Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?' I replied ... 'From the depths of the tragedy I want to save ... young people [for Palestine]. The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world ... Only the branch of the young shall survive. They have to accept it'." Chaim Weizmann: report to the Zionist Congress in 1937 on his testimony before the Peel Commission in London on July 1937. " 'Anti-Semitism' ... opposition to Zionism: sympathy with opponents of the state of Israel."
