What were burglars looking for at Montreal rights agency?

At first I thought this was a story looking for a hook -- a petty burglary that only a conspiracy theorist would see a meaningful. But then I saw "forty dollars in petty cash was left untouched." Perhaps this was a theft for information? It could be a theft by either side of the control battle -- but it doesn't look like just another property crime.

OTTAWA–The 11th floor office of Rights and Democracy in central Montreal had been closed for the day to give staff time to grieve the death of their popular president, Rémy Beauregard.

That's when the burglars struck.

They bypassed an electronic swipe-card access system, apparently jimmying the door lock with a screwdriver.

A cabinet with personnel files was opened and several laptops and an iPod were stolen. Forty dollars in petty cash was left untouched.

Normally, it's not the kind of break-in that would warrant attention.

But coming in the wake of a bitter showdown between agency staff and a board of hand-picked Conservatives appointees – whom critics say hold strident pro-Israel views – the late January break-in immediately raised eyebrows.
...
The fact that cash was left behind has some thinking "this was no random, petty theft," one source familiar with the case said.

It was the latest twist in a saga that critics have described as a hostile takeover of the federally funded rights agency by the Conservative appointees.

Staged, phony as Glo-Bull Warming or a three dollar bill.

What a joke.

Are there that many Jews living in Canada that the Canadian Govrernment has to hand pick pro Jewish thinkers? Why is that the case?

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

And when it comes to Christian Zionists running this country, mass confusion reigns. It is meant to do so.

Ironically, something that could actually deserve the "gate" suffix and our idiot media leaves it out!
