Describes how the ghetto separates Blacks not only from white people, but also from opportunities and resources
A history of the dark times.
"So this is how liberty dies—with thunderous applause." —Senator Padmé Amidala
When Palpatine declared the birth of his new Empire, he expected it would stand for millennia. Instead, it lasted only 24 years. This is the story of how a tyrannical regime rose from the ashes of democracy, ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, and then collapsed into dust.
It is a story of war and heroes, of the power of propaganda and the dangers of complacency. But most of all, it is a story of normal people trying to live their lives in the face of a brutal dictatorship.
From the ruthlessness of Darth Vader's campaigns to the horrors of the Tarkin Initiative, this book offers fresh new insights into the dark entity at the core of Star Wars.[1]
Set in 1990s Toronto, RACE TRAITOR is the visceral true story of a teenage girl who becomes entangled in Canada’s most powerful white supremacist group, the Heritage Front – a domestic terrorist group later revealed to have been created and funded with the assistance of Canada’s spy agency, Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS).
To sixteen-year old runaway Elisse, the new friends she encounters in the secretive Heritage Front are the family she’s never had. They feed her when she’s hungry, watch her back, and Wolfgang Droege, one of the group’s charismatic leaders, introduces her to a trusted friend, notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, who provides her with shelter and work.
In less than a year, Elisse evolves into an extremist groomed for a leadership role in the far-right movement. Her loyalty earns her the attention and tutelage of Grant Bristow, co-founder of the Heritage Front, who is training a secret faction of skinheads and neo-Nazis in information-gathering and terror tactics targeting political opponents. Rapidly drawn into their web of hatred, Elisse witnesses an escalating campaign of terror from which there seems no way out.
Forced to confront her sexual orientation and secret heritage, Elisse realizes that she must fight back. But when she attempts to shut down the vicious organization that had brainwashed her and terrorized innocent Canadians, she learns that a darker force is behind the façade of the Heritage Front: Canada’s own spy agency, backed by the government that was supposed to protect her.
At only eighteen, Elisse’s testimony will lead to the criminal convictions of prominent white supremacists including Wolfgang Droege. Within months, Grant Bristow would be exposed as an undercover CSIS agent. Although Operation Governor never led to the arrest of a single Canadian racist, Bristow will be placed into the Witness Protection Program and given a package worth hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, while the teenage girl who had named him as a criminal will be denied police protection and forced to go on the run for her life.

What really happened when Canada’s security service went into the racism business? CSIS mole Grant Bristow was instrumental in the founding of white supremacist group the Heritage Front, but did he step over a line when he went from merely informing to actually inciting racists acts and targeting Canadians for terrifying abuse. Revelations about how the CSIS informant built and directed a racist movement, how he created an alarming crisis and a PR triumph for his handlers. Was Bristow out of control or did CSIS know his every move?
A 1994 report by the Security Intelligence Review Committee on the Heritage Front affair concluded that Bristow tested the limits of what was acceptable and the CSIS sometimes failed to properly manage its source, but concluded that Bristow and his CSIS handler “discharged their duties in a competent and responsible manner.”
Many critics of the CSIS operation consider the SIRC report a whitewash, written by a government-appointed watchdog of a government agency. Bristow meanwhile has maintained his innocence regarding his activities during his time as a CSIS mole telling The Walrus in a rare 2004 interview, "I was walking a very thin tightrope. I was trying to find a response that didn't include out-of-control, escalating violence. If I was wrong in the actions that I took, I must take responsibility for that."
Trudeau’s Secret Plan: What he’ll do to us if he wins again is the much-anticipated sequel to the best-selling Canadian political book of 2019, The Libranos — a book the Trudeau government is still prosecuting in the courts.

What happens if he actually pulls it off? Trudeau’s Secret Plan weaves together different threads of Trudeau’s obsessions, from financial corruption to globalism to his complex censorship schemes. Backed into a corner, Trudeau has never been more dangerous. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about Canada and wants to stop Trudeau from destroying it.
