& Proliferating Racism and Lethal Force and Capital

‘Uncomfortable’ and ‘awkward’ doesn’t even begin to describe how the Chinada High Command’s representative felt when facing a long-term and very committed coalition partner in Stephen Colbert in the interview setting on February 22, 2010. Like a bald eagle mercilessly going in for the kill, the uber-sharp American fired multiple salvoes at the veteran politician and former attorney general – and they hit their mark every single time. The question naturally arises why would Ujjal even agree to appear when he knew the weight of six years of coercive diplomacy would be embedded in the sub-text, except to stand up for everyone linked to the country’s globally condemned paradigm of governance. Doing so exposed the Dogville MP to even greater culpability under The Security of Information Act.
When Stephen decided to move his late night comedy show to the site of the Winter Games in the autumn of 2009, he’d began his assault on the status quo shortly thereafter: Stephen Colbert: Ignites an Olympics-Related Firestorm Only Understood in the East-West Corridor of Diplomacy – Canada’s Malfeasants are “IceHoles”. Then when the event was branded the ‘Evil-ympics’, he was even more determined to make the geo-best of his visit. One initiative is observed in what was placed on the wall behind him throughout his in-studio filming – a loud reminder of the deluded belief Chinada can succeed where the Soviet Union failed.
Why was an invitation extended to this particular Member of Parliament beyond being politically linked to the site of the Hades Games? First, as he admitted during the interview, a very large minority constituent of his riding is Chinese. And second, when his party, the Liberals, were voted out of office in January ’06 he went from being a cabinet minister (health) to a frontline critic of the Conservatives, taking these geo-critical portfolios: National Defence (2006.02.23 - 2007.01.17; 2008.11.14 -) Public Safety (2007.10.09 - 2008.11.13) and Foreign Affairs (2007.01.18 - 2007.10.08). Additionally, he sat on these committees: Foreign Affairs and International Development (2006.04.03 - 2007.09.14), Public Safety and National Security (2007.10.16 - 2008.09.07), Justice and Human Rights (2009.01.26 - 2009.12.30) and National Defence (2006.04.03 - 2007.09.14; 2009.01.26 - 2009.12.30). In other words, he’s at the intersection of power, wealth and the China agenda.
And these roles were after a stellar rise to the pinnacle of provincial power: Minister responsible for Multiculturalism, Human Rights, Sports and Immigration (1995 - 1995.08), Attorney General (1995.08.16 - 2000.02) and then Premier (2000.02.24 - 2001.06.04). From the start of his career he’s been a disgrace to the principles and values that Canadians stand for.
In the spring of 2008, he was formally introduced to the Fiefdom treatise. As was the case with everyone in the public sector linked to British Columbia and most of the country’s political establishment, there was no reply:

Dear Sir:
Re: Dept. of National Defence (“DND”), RCMP, CSIS, Municipal Police – Covert Collaborative Unit Engaged in 20 Years of Criminality, Tortious Conduct, Human Rights Violations, Undermining Judicial & Legal Profession Independence and Conducting Military Operations on Behalf of the Government of Canada, Government of the Provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”)
The following is dissemination-restricted information I am seeking your input on and which you are inferred aware viz. being a lengthy British Columbia MLA and even more so as the province’s Attorney General, Premier and federal cabinet minister.
These matters are being formally brought to your attention as a professional courtesy. A failure to provide your views in a timely manner will lead to an adverse inference.
It was like shooting satanic sewer rats in a barrel when Stephen had the politician and former A.G. in the interview chair. Cornered and unable to walk out, Dosanjh, a Queen’s Counsel, grimaced and cringed each time the intellectually superior host landed a right hook against the far left wing representative of the China-Canada military alliance. Geo-topics covered included institutionalized and proliferating racism, militarily entering Canada and effecting lethal force if necessary and the 'Iron Fist' death penalty.
The interview begins by Stephen ignoring him and mistaking him for the internationally condemned politician masquerading as British Columbia’s premier. Later the questioning focuses on who the interviewee is as a person. That’s when the discussion gets downright ugly. And after following with a lighter topic coercive diplomacy kicks in with the communiqué that (i) the coalition wants to shoot the likes of him dead and that (ii) the life of Canadians linked to the Chinada High Command are “cheap” and thus can be taken without violating any laws or norms. He also put it on the record again that the coalition fully intends to introduce a military interventionist force into Canada to effect covert regime change [@ 6:01 & 6:10].
How did the interviewee react when he felt insulted by one line of questioning? He effected a Clooney Maneuver; which was most revealing because it shows that arrogance of power where the rich, powerful and Chinese can be profoundly corrupt and morally vile but when faced with global denunciation they fire back by taking offence. It’s a double standard that demonstrates an intellectual stuntedness and disrespect for humanity of the highest order.
Colbert: Mr. D: thank you for sitting down with me. [clearing his voice - vocalization practice; then slaps cheeks] Game time. Game time. Game time. Okay, I'm ready. You can go. I'm sorry, can we get the Canadian guy in here please. I'm sorry I'm -- he's going to be sitting there.
Producer: Stephen, that's him.
Colbert: Oh, this is the guy?
Dosanjh: I am.
Colbert: I'm so sorry [0:49: SNL M.] I thought I was going to get some guy that would look like his name was Gordon.
Dosanjh: I happen to be Ujjal Dosanjh.
[...]
Colbert: Let's talk about the real Ujjal Dosanjh for a minute. Who is he?
Dosanjh: Um, I grew up in India.
Colbert: Oh really. What caste are you from?
Dosanjh: I'm not from a caste.
Colbert: You gotta be from a caste.
Dosanjh: No I'm not.
Colbert: Everybody's from a caste.
Dosanjh: You may want to place me in a caste.
Colbert: I don't want to. It's not my culture.
Dosanjh: You're adopting it by saying 'what caste are you from'.
Colbert: What caste are you from?
Dosanjh: Why would you ask me?
Colbert: Because it's your culture. You inherited it.
Dosanjh: If you don't believe -- it's not my heritage. It's part of the heritage I don't believe in.
Colbert: But you're from India.
Dosanjh: You should actually apologize for offending me because I don't believe in that part of the culture.
Colbert: I apologize if your culture offends you. [D: Cl.M.]
Dosanjh: If you don't believe in the caste why would you pigeon-hole yourself?
Colbert: But you were born into it.
Dosanjh: No you're not.
[...]
Colbert: In 2001 as premier of British Columbia you installed a 3-year ban on hunting grizzly bears. Let's say in 2002 I'm a bear and I'm this close to you what would you do if you couldn't shoot me? Okay?
Dosanjh: If you were coming at me?
Colbert: Yea.
Dosanjh: [pause]
Colbert: Too late, you're already dead, I killed you. That's how fast we are. While you were thinkin' about how can I coddle this bear I killed you.
Dosanjh: The fact is they're not bothering anyone when in they're in their own habitat.
Colbert: But if I go into their habitat and cover myself in honey; a bear comes at me. Can I defend myself and kill the bear?
Dosanjh: Why are you going into their habitat when somebody...?
Colbert: [6:01: Z-J M.] ... It's beautiful; it's beautiful, it's Canada; I'm a Canadian. I'm free. I'm more free than Americans. Americans are dumb. I'm going into Canada and I'm going to go be out in the wild [6:10: SNL M.] 'cause I'm a Canadian.
Dosanjh: If somebody walked into your house just looking nice...
Colbert: ...[6:14: Madonna M.] I'd shoot them dead. I would shoot them dead. Yep.
Dosanjh: Exactly. That's what the bears might do.
Colbert: So the bears can shoot us but we can't shoot the bears. That's interesting.
Dosanjh: Bears won't shoot you.
Colbert: Life is cheap in Canada - that's what you're saying?
Dosanjh: No.
Colbert: No?
Dosanjh: No.
Colbert: Well, I'm glad we got that settled. Now what caste are you in again?
Dosanjh: [mouth opens - speechless]
Colbert: Thank you so much for sittin' down with me.
The news report reproduced below included a photo of the interviewee smiling; but as these other video stills confirm the opposite was felt throughout. The Chinada complicit politician was more than uncomfortable. He knew the geo-implications of what was being fired in his direction and his body language confirmed he got the message in this face-to-face environment.
Stephen Colbert swings at Ujjal Dosanjh
by Jane Taber
Globe & Mail
February 23, 2010
Ujjal Dosanjh has gone where U.S. President Barack Obama is afraid to go – on The Colbert Report.
He’s not crazy; he just thought at his age – 63 – it would be fun not to be “politically correct all the time.” And he survived to tell the tale.
“Actually, we had a lot of fun,” the Liberal MP and former B.C. premier said of his 90 minute sit-down interview with American satirist Stephen Colbert.
About seven minutes of that interview was played on the Comedy Central hit last night. Mr. Colbert was in Vancouver last week taping four shows around the Winter Olympic Games.
The comedian has been having lots of fun at the expense of Canadians at the Games and during the lead-up to them. He provoked controversy when he referred to Canadians “iceholes” and “syrup suckers.”
Last night, Mr. Colbert, who plays a right-wing pundit, accused Mr. Dosanjh of being a racist, acted surprised that not all Canadians were Caucasian and attempted to trap the Liberal politician into making a choice between Canada’s public health-care system and gay rights.
“I just thought it would be good to do … something that was humourous,” Mr. Dosanjh says. “I’m 63. I’m a grandfather four times and I’ve been around a long time.
“We should not be politically correct all the time and we need some fun.”
U.S. President Barack Obama doesn’t share that view. His press secretary Robert Gibbs has said that he has yet to see a “politician best Mr. Colbert.” And he has said that his boss may appear on the Daily Show but “just maybe not Colbert.”
The comedian tries to twist things and confuse politicians.
In fact, when Mr. Dosanjh agreed to appear on the show, he watched several Colbert episodes on the Internet. “Then I thought, ‘What have I done to myself?’”
Mr. Dosanjh says his office received an invitation from The Colbert Report last October.
No inquiries were made as to how the show decided upon him but he believes it was because of a couple of appearances he made on CNN, defending Canada’s public health care system in the midst of the debate in the United States over the Obama administration’s proposed reforms.
Still, he was wary. He asked one of his staff, who is a big fan of the Colbert show and, his middle son, about whether he should go on. They encouraged him to do it.
So last month, he travelled to Washington – on the Colbert show’s dime – and taped the segment in a Congressional meeting room on Capitol Hill.
Just before the cameras started rolling, Mr. Colbert told his Canadian guest that, “I play this right-wing character, who is not well-informed about Canada and you have to disabuse me of all the notions I have,” according to Mr. Dosjanjh.
The opening bit was good as Mr. Colbert was surprised that Mr. Dosanjh was Canadian. He said he was expecting to meet someone named “Gordon.”
About Mr. Dosanjh, he said, “I don’t see race but I see people who don’t look Canadian.”
“And so that’s how it went,” the Liberal MP said. “We went back and forth for an hour and a half.”
The trick to dealing with Mr. Colbert, Mr. Dosanjh says, is not to “always fall for everything that he asks you to do. His purpose is not to insult you… He wants to have fun.”
