who visited the Brookestreet Hotel in Ottawa to observe members of
the Bilderberg Group earlier this month were kidnapped, detained
without charge and suffered the ordeal of a marathon interrogation
session and psychological torture - including threats to "cut off
the arms" of one of the victims.
The nightmare began on
June 9th, the second day of the Bilderberg conference. After being
warned to leave the previous day, Joe Burd's party of three left the
site of the Brookestreet Hotel at 2pm where he and Crystal Slack
headed for a local bar, while Burd's friend electrician Don
McCormick rested in their rented vehicle which was parked on a
downtown street.
What happened next
should chill the core of anyone who thinks that westerners still
live in a free society.
Joe Burd picks up the
story.
"A military-grade task
force involving local police, RCMP and members of the “Integrated
National Security Enforcement Team” descended around the rental
vehicle with weapons pointed at Mr. McCormick. He was abruptly and
forcibly taken into custody from his vehicle, thrown to the ground
and kicked in head."
After approaching the
vehicle, Burd and his friend Crystal Slack were also grabbed and
kidnapped, taken to a RCMP holding facility, detained without
charges, harassed and interrogated for hours about their connections
to the "insurgent" and "threat to national security" Alex Jones, who
himself had been
detained and interrogated for 15 hours at the hands of
Canadian immigration the previous day.
They were the lucky
ones.
McCormick was taken to a
secret high security facility where he was brutally interrogated
without charge and mentally tortured for six hours. He was accused
of wanting to blow up the Brookestreet Hotel, as the interrogators
threatened to "cut off his arms" warning him that they also "had his
friends" in custody. This is the very definition of psychological
torture, the threat of physical harm and dismemberment.
One of the
dictionary definitions of torture is, "dismemberment,
taking apart - the removal of limbs; being cut to pieces." The
threat of extreme physical pain is a method used on suspected
terrorists and was also inflicted upon innocent prisoners at Abu
Ghraib.

McCormick's anguish at
the hands of the Canadian Gestapo didn't end there.
Interrogators told
McCormick that he “would never be alone again” and to “watch his
back” - as he began to fear he would become the latest victim of the
worldwide rendition policy, and be taken to an
Eastern European gulag for further torture.

McCormick was so
stricken by the horror of his nightmare that many of the details of
what happened remained bottled up, partly from threatened fear of
reprisals if he told anyone what had occurred.
Finally being released
and returning home the next day, McCormick became delirious and had
to be rushed to hospital after he collapsed. He was diagnosed with
severe dehydration and mental
