I've started looking more closely at Dean's materials and have a few observations to make. I thought I'd just post comments incrementally since there is a lot to go through.
In Document #10 (Dean's rejected faxes) there are a number of attached documents. At pages 32-33 is an "Affidavit", where Dean essentially writes to defend his co-accused, "Darren Pierre Joseph: Boissonneault". The intended recipient of this document is not clear, though presumably it is a government actor. Dean essentially waves his magic pseudolegal wand arguing Darren is not subject to Canadian law, and at para. 17 threatens application of a fee schedule. This document is dated Nov. 12, 2013.
This suggests the Affidavit was prepared after Darren was arrested during the raid on Dean's grow-op, which seems to have occurred on Nov. 5, 2013. It would be interesting to know whether a similar document was prepared for Dean's brother (also a Darren) during his legal troubles.
What follows in Document #10 is a five page "Affidavit", again without an explicit intended recipient, but probably to be sent to government or court parties. It was affirmed on Nov. 8, 2013 (post-grow op raid) and apparently in Alberta, see the Commissioner for Oath stamp on page 5. Throughout Dean indicates he should be immune from government action. But here's the interesting point - he admits that is not actually the case. Instead, Dean indicates he is nothing but a victim.
At para. 10 there is a rather generic complaint of being "... misled, deceived, coerced, intimidated, threatened, assaulted, kidnapped, and tortured ...". Dean expands on this theme in paras. 16-19. Some notable passages include:
16. Over the last ten years, I have been subject to no less that 15 acts of extreme violence which were carried out by agents and officers of Her Majesty for my having carried out the simple acts of exercising what are my recognized, protected and self-evident rights and freedoms. I have been detained, threatened, coerced, intimidated, falsely arrested, beaten, kidnapped, tortured, had private property arbitrarily and permanently seized without claim and sold; including but not limited to all my work trucks and tools necessary for gaining a livelihood and providing for myself, I have been harassed, alienated from friends and family due to fear of repercussions for my political and religious beliefs, and my livelihood, career, and reputation have been ultimately and utterly destroyed. This has made it almost impossible for me to sustain myself, live, be happy, enjoy my property and pursue my life in any form of meaningful manner or happiness.
...
18. ... I would be intentionally deprived of and denied the enjoyment of my freedoms, liberties, birthright, enjoyment of my property, the fruits of my labour and everything I have placed in trust. These were more than threats, as these acts have now been carried out against me repeatedly.
19. ... I was forced and coerced into having, and have since that time been subjected to repeated beatings, fines, kidnappings, prolonged unlawful confinements, tortured in solitary confinement, property arbitrarily stolen and sold, intimidation, continual harassment, public humiliation, attacks on my reputation and publicly labelled a terrorist and threat to the public for the purpose of promoting hatred against me, all by agents acting under colour of law on behalf of Her Majesty et al.
[Emphasis added.]
Dean generally complains about being the subject of unauthorized government action, all at the behest of the Queen. And here is Dean's self-described state:
40. I have no means to protect myself and this fact was utilized and capitalized on to its fullest to deprive me of everything I had in life, and have worked for in my life, for the purpose of reducing me to the standing of an unpaid slave upon threat of further alienation, torture and perpetual confinement if I attempt to pursue remedy.
[Emphasis added.]
Isn't this striking? Dean typically portrays himself in public as the Muscular Freeman, landowner, expert builder, who beats up police officers on whim, always successful in business and law. But here he presents himself in an entirely different matter. When engaging state actors, Dean is certainly defiant in the sense that he disagrees with state authority - but he admits his attempts to resist have not worked. His property is seized. He can't work. He is driven away from his peer and family. And if he continues to resist the result will be yet more troubles.
I find the difference between Dean's face to the public and his marketplace, and the Dean known to the state and court quite remarkable. Dean presumably doesn't try to lie to police, the Crown, and so on, because they know the truth and his history. But to those who would be his customers? Not a hint. Instead, it is Dean the ever-triumphant. That continues in his telephone recordings from Remand detention.
Not this Affidavit! Notably, this quite downbeat and defeatist document was prepared even before Dean was arrested. This shows, presumably, what he anticipated was in his future.
