Declaration to incite violence

Dr. Thomas Flanagan, is a former senior adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He is a professor at University of Calgary.

On Nov. 30, 2010, 6:10pm EST, he made an appearance during a discussion panel on CBC news, during which he called for the assassination of Wikileaks director Julian Assange. Despite being given the opportunity to retract the statement, he charged ahead and stated that U.S. President Obama should 'put out a contract' on Assange, or 'use a drone'.

Dr. Flanagan has made it abundantly clear that "taking out a contract" on someone is OK by his moral standards.

I don't agree with his remarks.

I also believe that there will be darkness in this world if people like this are allowed to spread their dangerous ideologies.We have to fight them, and we have to bring the light, for new generations sake.

This is what I wrote to the "professor" Tom Flanagan, after I saw what he said on national TV.

Dear Professor,

I just saw on TV and YouTube what you said about Mr. Assange being assassinated. I also saw you took it back.

However, you called for the assassination of a journalist, on a major TV station, and there is nothing that you could do to convince me and thousand of others that you really wouldn't do it. I am actually sure you would do it, if you had enough power to do it.

Your ideology is very dangerous and hurtful. This very ideology has hurt Canadian positions in the world and made our country second rated.

Who do you think you are? This rhetorics belongs to the darkest period of our time, and you resemble Reinhard Heydrich.

Still, thank you for revealing what you really think about transparency, government abuse and freedom.

I advise you to take into account that there will be (and already are) thousands (and millions) of others who will continue what Mr. Assange started.

Are you going to assassinate them all?

regards,

Boris Bokov

How desperately low public discourse in Canada has sunk these days that this violent, authoritarian mode of thought is taken seriously.

What's next for those promulgating these monstrous ideas? Domestic paramilitary hit teams fighting crime the Guatemalan way? Predator drones over the ghettos? Death camps for dissenters? These are all consistent with the dubious philosophy of Flanagan and his ilk.

We have to fight for our survival.
