My Conviction for the Mother of all Cluster Faux Pas'
My Conviction for
the Mother of all Cluster Faux Pas'
I would say two quotes best summarize the foundation of my platform:
Mahatma Gandhi
Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
What is more interesting, however, is how these quotes now paint a significant part of my existence.
I was the “go-to fellow” for not only diplomatic protected vehicles but also police tactical vehicles throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and into the early 2000s. The massive growth of Armet’s business surely evidenced a reputable manufacturer of armored vehicles, especially because the company stood guard behind its certified and Lloyds insured armored carapace products.
Insurance was more than a rarity. Armet may have been the only company ever that had a Lloyds of London underwriter’s insurance policy on each of its armored vehicles operating in war zones, which included the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Georgia. (Sub-file: Lloyds).
Yes, I have used the words “rocks on my rail tracks”. Remember my comment because at any time, it could be your turn to be knocked off the rails.
As Charles Bukowski best put it: “I guess the only time people think about injustice is when it happens to them.”
Or, as Benjamin Franklin said: “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
When I said, “Hope and promise”, here is what I meant: in the 1960s, I took my shilling and became a British soldier by swearing allegiance to the Queen, living my childhood dream as a Scots Guardsman. Later, I transitioned into police service in Canada. As a police officer, I honed my military skills mostly in tactical units, more commonly called these days the SWAT, or in Toronto, the Emergency Task Force.
In April 1980, I had the privilege of using my military and police skills to create and own the newly established Armet Armored Vehicles. With exceptional Canadian workers the company grew into an international group of companies with our head office in Canada. This continued until a slowly growing insidious cancer took hold in 2006 and fully developed by the end of 2007, culminating in Armet’s slow but inevitable death in 2015.
I can say that creating and operating the Armet Armored Vehicles business was exciting. There were few competitors in the early years, and we became prestigious because, as countless governments that have bought our armored vehicles could attest, Armet’s tactical vehicles were unique, with ballistic protection certified by at least a dozen countries. This explains why progressive governments bought these machines undaunted by their costly price, but by the reputation, they had garnered.
Individuals claiming innocence despite their conviction, sentencing and incarceration, allegedly due to misconduct by investigators, prosecutors, judges or defence counsel, will prepare a similar outline of their case. Whyte’s narrative serves as an example of WIKIFACTUM’S requirement for concise case preparation. Vault lessees will prepare an initial opening statement or factum for filing in their vault for the initial review of Wikifactum’s watchdog, the ombudsperson, who determines whether there is any reasonable merit to the claim of such misconduct.
