.
Notable was the fuss his legal activity caused among councilors predicated on simply recording an open council meeting.
.
Bracken's many YouTube videos clearly displayed his courageous but polite effort to get answers from secretive elected authorities. Subsequent events prove Bracken not only correct but that he was the first to recognize the deep corruption going on in our Niagara Regional Government.
.
The subsequent shattered integrity of Niagara Regional Council points to his stunning ability to ferret out corruption and deceit and the courage to confront political miscreants.
.
Mr Fred Bracken epitomized exactly what is missing in today's failure of investigative news-gathering. He single highhandedly brought to light the eroding of our rights and freedoms. Because of Fred Bracken we are now aware of the Court of justice act #136 (2) and Criminal Code #423.1 both of which where transgressed against Bracken.
.
Bracken's effort to defend free speech caused him to be illegally and repeatedly detained in handcuffs and thrown in the back of Niagara Police Cars.
He suffered false accusations; verbal and physical abuse and even had Niagara Authorities perjure themselves in court depositions all in an effort to get Bracken off their trail of corruption. Miscreant officials who lie in their attempt to hurt Citizens have cost Taxpayers $Millions.
Bracken seemed to hold a special contempt for the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS). However Bracken never displayed hostility toward police officers during his police interaction.
.
Bracken claimed that the NRPS was corrupt and overpaid. The NRPS certainly handed Bracken plenty of evidence what with $Hundreds of Millions in lawsuits to be bourne by Niagara Taxpayers predicated on an alarming hundreds of cases involving excessive force annually.
.
Perhaps Bracken was responding to the NRPS continuing and unsustainable budget increases in multiples the rate of inflation. New police stations by the dozen including a spanking new spacious police headquarters in the City of Niagara Falls; a new $40k robot; demand for a $300k military style armored vehicle and a NRPSB that doesn't want to hear concerns from Citizens raising negativity questions.
. Before his heart gave out from prescription medication, Bracken's last fully legal effort at protecting free speech was met with a violent physical attack by a Brock University student. Bracken was arrested, jailed and sent to trial.
.
While Bracken's attacker got of Scott free, the court sentenced Bracken to three months in jail for... you guessed it... excessive force!
.
In Honour of Mr. Fred Bracken
A True Fighter for Free Speech

I witnessed Fred Bracken fighting for FREE SPEECH on several occasions. He had a style of his own. I credit him for awakening many people in Niagara of our rights to exercise free speech. He took West Lincoln to task, no audio or video in their council chamber and Niagara Region on the same issue. It appears some politicians do not like to be put on record. Fred introduced them to FREE SPEECH 101. A true patriotic man ....... who took many lumps for those who did not know of our rights. REST IN PEACE FRED ..... you will not be forgotten!
ReplyDeleteAm hoping to meet Fred someday in Heaven if I can make the grade. I know he did. Good thing there's lots more room in Hell for those dirty devils masquerading as our authoities who did him in.
ReplyDeletePerhaps with a little more of Bracken our Niagara Regime would not have deteriorated the way it did!
