Chapter 7

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES

This is not just bad government, it’s stupid politics.”

DICK MORRIS


I have not heard a thing from the federal government since releasing my open letters to the Prime Minister and Minister of Citizenship and Immigration on December 12th, 2003.

"CARROT"-AND-STICK, REDUX

One of bullies’ favorite tactics is the carrot-and-stick approach. In my case, there is no real carrot though, only a slight smell of one.

As I detailed in the previous chapters, right after I filed my lawsuit, the defendant, on the one hand, raised their “offer” through intrusive or harassing phone calls. On the other hand, they harassed me through a gay agent as well as through police.

The same tactic was used after the release of my open letters. The defendant raised their “offer” through harassing phone calls. And they struck fear into my heart by working on my relatives.

“What’s Your Price?”

After presenting her inclusive vision at the Liberal Leadership Convention last November then losing her cabinet position with the new government, Ms. Sheila Copps had reportedly been asked: “What’s your price [for going away]?”

I guess I heard similar voice too, although you can never be sure or trusting when you are dealing with ghostly stalkers1.

Let's take a look at the pattern of increasing numbers with monetary meaning:

December 2003

Over $20 or $30 million?

CBCL/

IMPARK

Having established with me a seemingly legitimate business relationship, CBCL suddenly gave me the phone number (800) 834-4480. See below.


Background for the Latest “Offer”

To understand the latest “offer” – I am not sure if the government is a party to the “offer”, but my gut feeling is that the government or some politicians at least knew about it – we need to go back to Canadian Bonded Credit Limited (CBCL).

Since the previous “offer” disguised in a “wrong number” call from CBCL on January 20, 2003 and my subsequent call-back three days later (see Chapter 6), I had not had contact with this company until September 2003.

On September 24, 2003, CBCL sent me a collection letter with respect to a parking ticket4 issued by Imperial Parking Canada Corp. (IMPARK).

According to my bank record though, IMPARK or its agent cashed my payment check on the same day (September 24, 2003, coincidence?). So upon receiving the letter, I told both IMPARK and CBCL so.

CBCL called me numerous times, sometimes in a harassing manner, from October to December to request a copy of the check from me as they claimed that they did not have the record of my payment.

Up until two days before I released my open letters to the government, CBCL still required me to send in a Xerox copy of the check as proof of payment. Indeed, in my conversation with Lisa [last name unknown] of CBCL on December 10, 2003, she gave me one of CBCL’s fax numbers, together with the name of the person to whose attention I was supposed to send the copy of the check.

Offer” Raised

On December 24, 2003, I called CBCL and told them that I finally got a copy of my check from my bank. Sarsha Williams [sound], the person who took my call, told me that CBCL did not want it anymore. Instead, I was instructed to call IMPARK at (800) 834-4480. This number was repeated to me in another conversation I had with a different agent of CBCL on January 10, 2004.

This telephone number was suspicious5 because (1) 4480 is the double of 2240, the last four digits of the first phone number (604) 219-2240 (on June 9, 2002) that had an embedded monetary meaning; and (2) 34 was my age. Also, IMPARK has a different tool-free number for ticket dispute and I bet the number I was given was a new one.

CBCL continued to call me almost everyday throughout January. It called me three times on February 7, 2004, and then it stopped calling altogether. You have to wonder if the “offer” was raised to over $30 million.6

Campaign of Fear

Back in December 2002, Mr. YLW, the gay man who came by order of the defendant to bully and harass me, suggested that the defendant knew which company my brother-in-law worked in China……

[The rest of this section, withheld at this time, deals with the way the defendant worked on my relatives.]

Internet and Telephone Communications

Without Privacy

In a free and democratic society, people’s basic human rights are respected and protected. Even criminals and suspects have certain rights.

But I have been treated worse than a criminal.

They know my vital statistics, my date of birth, my height, my weight, my eye sight. They have my pictures.

They know which town in China I was from. They implied that their people had gone there. I am pretty sure though that they had agent(s) from there working for them. They have no problem in understanding my dialectal telephone conversations with my family members.

They know what books I borrowed from libraries. They know what Internet sites I like to visit. They even know what TV programs I like to watch.

They know my business interest. They probably have stolen my business ideas, or bought into some of the smaller businesses I was interested in.

They know what kinds of illness I had, which doctors I saw.

They know my bank accounts, what the balances are. Of course, they know my credit card number.

They know my brokerage accounts as well, as part of my business activities. Of course, they robbed me online through market manipulation when I did not give in to their bullying.

They know where I do my grocery shopping, my preference for food.

If I get up and go to the washroom at night in my own home, they appear to know immediately.

If I go out of my apartment, even though I am still inside the building, they appear to know that too.

Not only did they intercept my telephone conversations, they also turn my cell phone into their tracking device to stalk me.

Scary? You bet.

Prime Minister’s Office

Of all the privacy violations directed at me, I regard the interception of my telephone and Internet communications the most serious offense.

When I sent out my open letters to the government in the morning of December 12, 2003, I could not find the Prime Minister’s email address because the PMO’s website was not available due to transition of power.

In the evening of January 3, 2004, I visited PMO’s website using my home computer. I checked out various pages without incident. However, when I clicked on PMO contact information, my Internet was suddenly cut-off.

Phone Line Tampering and Internet Monitoring

I had long suspected that my Internet activities were monitored by the defendant. So after this incident, I started keeping a record of the more unusual problems I encountered while surfing the Internet. Regular Internet surfing and record keeping came a couple of weeks later.

There appeared to be two main categories of problems. One was related to login – sometimes it took more than one attempt to successfully connect to the Internet through dial-up networking. The other was involuntary disconnect, i.e., the connection stopped “by itself”, often at unusual times.

The following table is a summary of all login problems.

Mar 18 – Jul 11

# of Sessions

# of Sessions w login problems

Percentage

52%

7%


The table shows that, before March 17, more than half of my Internet sessions had login problems. This compares to only 7% for after March 17.

So what happened on March 17?

On that day, I called my ISP about the login problems. I told them that the vast majority of my login problems came with a pop-up window titled Error 676, i.e., the computer blamed a busy phone line. Since I mostly got on Internet when I was at home along, my ISP was quite puzzled by my report. At their suggestion, I listened into a telephone extension while executing the dial-up connection.

On several instances, I heard the following message from Telus (the local telephone company): “The number you’ve called can not be completed as dialed. Please check the area code and number before trying again, or dial 411 for directory assistance.”

On another instance, I heard two batches of evenly-paced dialing sound, one with about 30 digits, and the other with 15 or so digits. However, the associated error message said that “there is no dial tone” (Error 680).

My suspicion is that the defendant, with the assistance of local telephone company, and possibly with the knowledge or approval of the government, actively monitored my telephone line and Internet activities. The reason they virtually stopped creating login problems for me after March 177 was that they had exposed their tactics on that day, knowing that I would listen to my computer dial-ups.

Political Direction

The other problem was that my Internet connection seemed to be cut off at unusual times. An example was given at the beginning of this section about my visit to PMO website. The following table is a summary of all involuntary disconnect.

As can be seen from the table, a lot of my Internet activities that likely triggered the disconnection were actually visiting government websites, especially that of the parliament8. During the campaign, visiting the websites of political rivals of the Prime Minister also seemed to be a problem. Some of these problems were illustrated by examples of my computer screen shots on May 12. See Appendix 7-1.

Since over all, I did not visit government websites very often, the high frequency of disconnect associated with visiting them truly stand out.

Another pattern is that, whenever I deviated from my usual Internet activities, or ventured onto websites never visited before, there was a high probability of disconnection. Cases in point were (1) on June 14 when I visited www.sevenoaksmag.com for the first time; (2) on May 22 when I tried to research on a commentator whose name appeared on a “normal” news site I visited; (3) on May 21 when I signed up at www.blogger.com; and (4) on April 22 when I first published on my personal website www.sfu.ca/~jyu1.

Simon Fraser University

When the government takes side against a jobless immigrant, university will undoubtedly follow. But then, when the problem is between a former student and certain professors, university may not need “political direction”.

Soon after I sent out my open letters to the government, my Alma Mater, Simon Fraser University, made a couple of changes to its online directory listing policy.

  1. External accounts are no longer listed in any of SFU online directories. So people no longer were able to find my contact information in any of its directories.

  2. To search the online directory, people will now have to identify themselves. This is very unusual among Canadian universities.

It looks to me that my Alma Mater was afraid to make my following information public:

Email: jyu1@sfu.ca

Web: www.sfu.ca/~jyu1

Personal Web Publishing

As described previously, on Thursday April 22, 2004, I published my open letters on my personal website www.sfu.ca/~jyu1. It was the first time I ever attempted publishing something on the Internet, and the process was not without incidents.

  • I established an Internet connection at around 12:25AM.

  • I established an FTP connection with SFU server using my SFU password successfully. I then proceeded to copying my files from my computer to my personal filespace at SFU, i.e., jyu1@fraser/pub_html.

  • Before the copying of files was completed, I got the following message entitled “FTP Folder Error”:



An error occurred copying a file to the

FTP Server. Make sure you have permission

to put files on the server.


Details:

The connection with the server was reset.



  • About half a minute later, at 12:27AM, my Internet connection was terminated, too.



Connection with HICA was terminated.

Do you want to re-connect?



Five minutes later, I re-established the Internet connection and was able to upload my files into the same SFU Server without problem.

I really hope my Alma Mater’s involvement in these two incidents was minimal. It would be absolutely a shame for a university to participate in any attempt of censorship9.

MEDIA STRATEGY AND THE ELECTION

Media Strategy

I believe that the defendant and the government had a media strategy to contain the expected fallout from my going public with my case.

My intention to go public

It was on November 6, 2002 that I told the defendant directly of my intention to blow the whistle and go public with my case.

But the defendant may have known that much earlier, given how tightly they controlled me over the years. A case in point was the disguised marketing call from (604) 873-3300 to my residence on Monday, April 29, 2002, only two days after my 33rd birthday. The caller identified herself as Li/Lee/Lea from a company named CoverYourBases.com, ostensibly marketing her Internet services.

It was obvious to me that the call came by order of the defendant, who knew that Internet would be the best tool I could have in going public with my case. It also struck similarity to the disguised “Internet business proposal” of 2000.

When is he gonna do it?”

As I look back, the key question for the defendant was: “when is he going to do it?”

While they could use various bullying tactics to try to stop me from blowing the whistle, they knew they would have to deal it in case they could not stop me.

The first indication of the defendant’s media strategy was at the beginning of the Iraqi War. It was around that time they suddenly stopped harassing me over the phone (ever since from the previous Fall). Their thinking was that it would have been very difficult for me to get on the headlines when all news media focused on the war.

As described elsewhere in the report, I started to receive harassing calls again at the end of summer 2003. And there were lots of them. Moreover, an agent was sent to me by the defendant in late September/early October. Of course, there were intense, and sometimes harassing calls from CBCL. I think two factors contributed to the defendant’s activities in this period of time.

One was that the Parliament resumed in September 2003. The other was that the defendant expected me to go public on or around October 20, 200310, because it was the 3rd anniversary of the online robbery11. Indeed, I did mark that date on my calendar.

Government's media strategy

After I released my open letters to the Prime Minister and Minister of CIC, the government took notice too. Unfortunately, my observation was that the government had been working around my file since then.

It established two public inquiries in rapid succession, betting the public would not have the stomach for a third one. The Prime Minister then went on his “mad as hell” tour of the country, creating a media frenzy out of the sponsorship mystery. I had to admit that his media strategy – quite similar to that of the defendant -- had been effective because nobody could have imagined that a bigger scandal was shoveled under the carpet.

Politics or Justice?

After the RCMP made arrests in connection with the sponsorship scandal just a couple of weeks before the election call, people have been asking: “is this justice or politics?”

My case was a legal issue. Unfortunately, when politicians got involved, the line between justice and politics became blurred. And when police got involved, I could not even hope for the basic justice.

Liberal Nomination Questionnaire

As reported by various media in late January 2004, a lot of people and organizations were quite upset with the privacy-intrusive questions on LPC nomination form. I think the following two questions were intended to bully:

  1. A question on candidates’ mental health, particularly depression;

  2. A requirement for candidates to provide fingerprints.

Although I have no intention to join in any party, I have answered the first question in my report nevertheless.12

As for the fingerprints requirement, I plan to follow the former cabinet minister Bob Nault and invite reporters to a police station when I get my fingerprints done.

Candidates Anointed in Vancouver Area

Ever wonder why there is such a heavy concentration of appointed or “acclaimed” liberal candidates in back-to-back Greater Vancouver ridings? (5 out of 8?)

It does not take a politician to figure this out: when a candidate is anointed, his or her loyalty flows upward to the leader, rather than downward to his or her constituency.

Tania Kourline, a former liberal spokesperson in my riding, put it this way: “You have half-a-million people living in Vancouver and the surrounding area and it seems to be a pattern that Asian candidates are automatically pushed away to make room for Caucasian [candidates].”

The way I see it, by parachuting candidates around me, the Prime Minister was simply being pro-active while I was seen to seek an activist approach on the ground and have the potential to turn my file into a campaign issue.

Parliament

I got the feeling that the Prime Minister called the election in May, in spite of incomplete investigation of the sponsorship affair, because he did not want to give me the chance to go public with my file before the election.

I believe that there were, and maybe still are, surveillance device in my apartment and/or in or around my apartment building. -- How else would you explain the strange phone call around three o’clock in the morning? -- I suspect that the defendant worked on my relatives to force me move out before September in case there is an investigation. And at the same time, the Prime Minister postponed the new parliament until October.

Cecilia Zhang Case

At the end of March, the discovery of Cecilia Zhang’s remains prompted intense media coverage on the case again. Having noticed the media strategies of these individuals and the government by that time, I thought about the possibility of a connection with Cecilia Zhang case.

Still, before my second release “Stolen Election”, I only assigned a 5% probability that the motive for this poor little girl’s abduction was, sickeningly, to create headline that could dominate news coverage in case I went public against these individuals and the government.

After the second release on July 18, I raised the probability to 25% due to the fresh development. I believe that I have been cautious and conservative in my assessments. Here I lay out the facts I based my judgment on, so that the public can make their own assessment.

Motive Unknown in the Official Investigation

Although the police have made an arrest in the case, they have yet to provide a motive for the crime.

Timings

The crime occurred on October 20, 2003, the 3rd anniversary of the online robbery that caused me my last job. It was also around a time when I experienced intense bullying activities – phone calls, agent, etc. – from these individuals and/or the government. I believe I was expected to go public around that date.

On the same day of the abduction, there were car break-ins in my apartment building, which I suspected were a conspiracy – involving police -- targeted at me. Indeed, I was both frightened and angered by it.

Within a week of my second release on July 18, 2004, Zhang case was in the news again as a result of an arrest by police. And a similar car break-in(s) occurred in my building.

The Victim

Cecilia Zhang’s age, gender, ethnicity and possibly her talent, made her a victim.

Violence or Threat of Violence

As described in Chapter 6, I was threatened by agent Mr. Han-Xin Lin after the online robbery. And on August 1, 2003, the day after I visited SFU Ombudsoffice, I was almost hit by a car.

BLOGGING WITH WARREN KINSELLA

Warren Kinsella was one of the recipients of my second release “Stolen Election” on Sunday July 18, 2004. He was chosen because, apparently, he did not like Paul Martin.

Kinsella the Liberal Insider

However, on Monday July 19, 2004, -- only one day after my email release, -- he seemed to be spinning my story already.

  • Attempted to paint me as some sort of unreasonable guy because I sued those professors who are much older than me.

  • Mentioned Chretien’s good gesture toward Martin to counter the implication that my file played a role in the Liberal leadership transition.

  • Trivialized the conflict, or attributed the unsuccessful “rumor” about the defendant’s daughter(s) and me to cultural differences.

  • Asked people to not care about my story even if my situation is desperate, knowing its potential explosiveness.

Then on Tuesday, July 20, 2004, he posted a JOB that requires Canadian citizenship. He also gave away his sense of relief that the House was not sitting!

Of course, his kissing up to the Martin camp was too obvious to everybody. To me – to a lot of other people as well, I guess -- it was a little too much.

Could he have known about my story so quickly from those individuals, or his own party (LPC)? I decided to wait and see.

By the following Monday July 26, 2004, I was reasonably sure he was bullying me via his blog, because on the day before (Sunday July 25, 2004), (1) somebody left a wrong-number message in our answering machine about paying-up some $400 personal debt13; and (2) I went to Wal-Mart. – The two things he mentioned in his blog. Also, his link to an article of one of his female fans and his joke to use it to “get a better birthday present” out of his wife bear the familiar resemblance to the defendant’s hate-inciting spin that I would somehow use Ms. KW’s telephone message in my answering machine for similar purpose. More on this point later when Mr. Kinsella posted a lyrical message on the subject of answering machine while ostensibly vacationing in the Jamaica.

I have long learned that stalkers’ real goal was psychological violence. Most of the times, they will find ways to let you know that you are being stalked. The same is true with online or on-telephone stalking. Mr. Kinsella was obviously trying to bully me off the Internet. I was determined that I would not be intimidated this time. I decided to write my own blog.

Thus the ensuring “blog competition”.

Blog Competition

Soon after my July 27 post which purposefully linked, for the first time, to his blog, Mr. Kinsella countered with a fluent article on the role of ethnic communities in Canadian politics. It was easy for me to respond because all I needed to point out was his ability to change political colors so rapidly. Of course, I hinted that I did not like to be watched or bullied, hoping he would stop doing that.

But then, the most troubling part of his article -- whose intended audience was me – was his use of the word imagined because the defendant, and Liberal Party of Canada, had tried to label me as delusional before.

I decided to throw him a bait on August 1 and quoted a famous sentence from US 9/11 Commission Report, where the key word was imagination. He took the bait easily and explained that he meant “I wonder if it is a real thing” the next day from Jamaica.

As pointed out above, I was very concerned by his post of the lyrics about answering machine from Jamaica. To me, it reflected exactly the same spirit as the “All-you-have-is-one-recording” false pronouncement by lawyer Mr. Ed Ng in November 2002 (See Chapter 6). They both carried the defendant’s spin which reduced the whole conflict into one telephone message by Ms. Kate Weldon. As a self-described “white, middle class male” (July 21 blogpost) who bought into the defendant’s spin, Mr. Kinsella’s feeling toward me was most likely jealousy and hatred. And that hatred, I am sorry to say, had spread to others such as Adam Radwanski and, to a lesser extent, Pierre Bourque.

Dare I say it was probably the same hatred that had played a role in Cecilia Zhang abduction and murder?

Moving the Date to Compete

If my above theory for the motive in Cecilia Zhang murder is correct, perhaps the most ironic episode in the whole blog competition was the great resemblance, as read by Jim Travers in his August 17 column, between Mr. Kinsella’s attempt to look like a blog winner, -- or in his own words, “the proverbial lead zeppelin” (August 3 blog), -- by dating his post of a National Post article a day earlier, and Cecilia’s abductor’s alleged motive to create a dominant headline by perpetrating a hideous crime on a date that the alleged criminal(s) thought would most likely trample the expected fallout from my going public with my case.

Winning at all cost? Tragedies, aren’t they?

1 The defendant, in fact, knew mistrust was the problem, based on some of the messages coming from Global Chinese Press.

2 The connection between these two incidents is that the then value of 891 B shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) was roughly US$2,192,240.

3 The then value of 2589 B shares of Berkshire Hathaway was roughly US$5,915,168, or close to C$10 million.

4 I also suspect that the parking ticket itself issued by IMPARK involved foul play.

5 On January 29, 2004, I received a voice mail message in my cell phone from an unknown caller. The message was a fax tone. This reminded me of several “fax tone” messages from (604) 882-0154 in my answering machine in early November 2001. Mr. Li’s phone number at that time, according to public record, was (917) 441-0815. I noticed the connections between these two numbers, area codes aside: (1) structure similarity; and (2) 882 is the double of 441. Desperate already with my situation, I subsequently contacted Mr. Li - for the last time - and gave him a copy of my resume. However, he stopped taking my calls after receiving my resume. I decided that I would never call him again. He simply could not be trusted.

6 On Monday, January 26, 2004, two days before the government announced the go-ahead of the Arar inquiry, a liberal MP voiced his opposition on CBC. The reasons he gave included: (1) we have to spend “10, 20, or 30 millions dollars” – why did he just say “tens of millions of dollars”; (2) [various parties] have to get all those lawyers involved -- this sounded awfully similar to what Mr. Stephens had told me, i.e., why do you need to get lawyers involved?; and (3) parliamentary committees were the way to go and he would love to get involved in them. I am wondering what exactly was in his mind when he made those comments.

7 They did not stop cutting off my Internet connection after March 17 because it would have been much more difficult for me to monitor the phone line while surfing the internet.

8 I remembered that the first time I tried to visit parliament website, my Internet suddenly became extremely slow and eventually stalled. It was in the summer of 2003 and I was curious about the Radwanski affair. I was using a public computer at the time and nobody else had problem with their Internet connections. I thought at the time that the parliament website was down. – This incident may be hard for people to understand. But for stalkers who know my routine, and have vast resource and influence, it’s entirely possible. Of course, it does not hurt when the government is on their side.
