Last year I killed many overseas nationals.
I did so quietly. They didn’t see me or hear me, but they died all the same. I poisoned their breath. It was surprisingly easy from my vantage point. I expect these kinds of things often are.
My method of killing is to expose unsuspecting men to asbestos. I’m not an agent hired by any government body. Instead I have hired a whole government. I’m not powerful enough to do this all by myself. You helped. Together we exported this deadly asbestos to countries whose citizens we know are unable to take the necessary sophisticated worksafe precautions.
Death by asbestos is inevitable when its effects progress to cancer. There is no cure for this particular type. There was not a government in the world last month willing to hide this danger from potential victims of asbestos.
Except the government that you and I hired. We did so at the Rotterdam Convention. We scotched a worldwide treaty which would greatly decrease death by asbestos.
Our government is not worse than most others. It’s not too difficult to believe other governments knowingly kill innocent people. We aren’t often willing to face this fact about our own. Or about ourselves.
Our MPs do a great deal of good. But we have to object loudly and clearly when they make a mistake on our behalf.
Visit the office of Mark Warawa MP and leave a note asking him to speak for us in Ottawa regarding this. I trust Mark will do so.
In every matter there may be a point at which a voice needs to be raised in the cause of justice. Genocides occurred for lack of this.
