Canadoi

Good Grief!! I say, shaking my head and rolling my eyes...



Can this get any more absurd? Are we all really living in Canad-oi??

You can read more about it here and here, and here. Be prepared with your vomit baggie nearby - you'll need it.

What the heck is this really? So, now both parties are going to be right out there with vying for the love of Israel? Well, at least it is finally - clearly out in the open.

Far from being 'anti-semites' as the Tories exclaim of the Liberals, let me remind everyone of this tasty little gem:

Israel supporters in cabinet
Jewish state has friends in the new Martin government, says Owen.

This piece from 2004 introduces us to the 'Liberal Parliamentarians for Israel'. Don't worry if you've never heard of them, they were after all just beginning the outing process which had been in the works for a few years at least. Perhaps this crew and their minions still living in the closet are to blame for these sorts of sentiments:

PM Paul Martin is NO friend of Israel

I guess they had to finally give in and adopt the now Israelcentric talking points vis a vis Lurch:



"Canada has to support the right of a democratic country to defend itself," he told reporters in Halifax yesterday after speaking to a forum of business leaders on the economy.

"Israel has been attacked from Gaza, not just last year, but for almost 10 years," Ignatieff said.

"They evacuated from Gaza so there is no occupation in Gaza."

Nice Iggy, so it justifies it all eh? Well I think we all know that he is a very pro-Israel warhappy academic and was placed into the leadership of the Liberal party to ensure they never get voted into power. He's a mule.

So, let us all just face it - the leaders of our political parties are more concerned with the pro-Israel Jewish vote than they are about the rest of 98% of Canada. Here in this utter fiasco, which really is funny when you think about it - but in a sad way - we have absolute solid proof.

Muzzling the CHRC, reigning in the Demons

Congratulations to Marc Lemire and his small victory against the likes of Richard Warman and the Nazis at the Canadian Human wRongs Commission. Of course, our dear friends and protectors at the Canadian Jewish Council are in a fit, well good, isn't that their normal state of being anyway? Richard Warman must be foaming at the mouth, again a natural state for this uber-whiner!

So, what does this decision actually mean? Legally, not much - as the law still stands. However, judge Hadjis has said that he has interpreted it as unconstitutional, so now the ball is in the hands of the courts - who alone have the power to strike down section 13.

At the very least, Marc's site, Freedom Site, will remain online. This is a good thing, whether one agrees with Lemire or not.

You can read Marc's statement here.

So, yes it is a step in the right direction, but much more needs to be done to ensure that the holier than thou alarmists and gaggers are stopped in their tracks. That said though, it would sure be nice to have Warman outed for the agent provocateur that he is, so come on Warman, launch and appeal with your buddies at the CJC, we all want to hear about the nasty, dirty tricks you both use to silence anyone you may not agree with. Bring it on, then we can all see the lies you spread and the disgraceful way you conduct yourself!!

Three cheers for Marc Lemire!

United Church of Canada - Anti-Semites all of them!!

Well, Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress (Israeli is US) seems to certainly thinks so, though I'm sure Bernie finds anti-semites in his bedclothes at night.

This time though, he's after the UCC for the wording of their divestment report - which can be read here. I guess Bernie baby doesn't like the term 'apartheid' or that the UCC has named the ministers (you know the ones supposedly working for the CANADIAN constituents) whom have taken free trips to Israel as well as those who hold dual citizenship.

Gee, Bernie I guess the truth hurts eh?

While reading CBC this morning I noticed this article, as I sent off a comment, and took a gander at some of the other lame items they had listed, it had disappeared from the front page and been buried under a bunch of other meaningless dribble.

So, for the sake of the memory hole, here's the link below:
United Church drops Israel 'apartheid' wording

Delegates at the United Church of Canada's national meeting have voted almost unanimously to reject controversial language used in material for a proposed divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.

Well, nice cave in boys! What do you want to bet that they will drop the entire divestment idea sooner rather than later? Afterall, the UCC has itself some skeletons in the closet which would be best not too see the light of day (native reserves). I wouldn't put it past the CJC having used this as a tool to get the 'language' changed - we can count on more smears coming out in the next while.

Bernie - you really need to join the human race - or move to Israel already.

Neo-Nazis, the CJC and Agent Provacatuers

I know that quite a few of us already are aware of this, but hey, I gotta say: Way to go Ezra!!

Canadian Jewish Congress Organised Nazis

A Jewish-Canadian author is in a battle of words with the Canadian Jewish Congress after alleging the organization props up neo-nazi groups to get “hate crime” legislation passed and expand the role of the country’s Human Rights Commission.

Neo-conservative author Ezra Levant claims in his latest book, Shakedown, that the Canadian Jewish Congress hired ex-cop John Garrity to work for the Canadian Nazi Party in the 1960’s. In 1965 and 1966, Garrity was put in charge of membership for the group and organized the dozen or so “rag-tag band of losers” into an outfit that garned a lot of press coverage.

That media attention was used by the CJC to build up a precieved public threat that persuaded Parliament to abridge Canada’s freedom of speech, Levant contends. The CJC, which had been advocating restrictions on free speech in Canada since the 1930’s, used the Nazi Party’s publicity to successfully lobby for the 1971 “hate law” (Section 319 of the Criminal Code). The end result was the enactment of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which “empowers the Canadian Human Rights Commission to deal with complaints regarding the communication of hate messages by telephone or on the Internet.”

Click the link above for the rest of this very revealing article.

It certainly makes one wonder as to who and what are behind these so-called domestic terror groups as well.

It is my opinion that the CJC and B'nai B'rith should declare themselves as agents of a foreign government.

Seems these organisations have a long history of making the trouble they imagine themselves. Problem, reaction, solution.

Edited to add the link to Ezra's own article:
Why Did the Jewish Congress Build Up the Nazi Party?

The above, please read it all - it's Ezra at his finest - contains his response to Bulka's own rant in the Ottawa Citizen:

In 1965 and 1966, the Canadian Jewish Congress helped organize the fledgling Canadian Nazi Party. That sounds crazy, but it's true, and I wrote about it in Shakedown, my new book about Canada's human rights commissions.

In a letter to the editor in the Citizen last week, the CJC's current co-president, Rabbi Reuven Bulka, called my book's description of the CJC's role "fiction." He said all the CJC did for the Nazis was buy them a bottle of rum.

It's true that the CJC did buy drinks for Nazis in the 1960s. That's pretty strange in itself, and I'd like to hear more of Rabbi Bulka's thoughts on spending Jewish charitable donations that way. But the CJC did a lot more than that: they hired an ex-cop named John Garrity to go to work for the Canadian Nazi Party.

Garrity helped organize that rag-tag band of losers, though they never amounted to anything except for fodder for the press.

There were only a dozen active Nazis when Garrity joined them and they weren't really a political party. He called them "harmless misfits," and they were -- their leader, John Beattie, was a nervous, gaunt, unemployed 24-year-old clerk who spent much of his time dodging angry Jews who tried to beat him up. (One of Garrity's jobs was to help Beattie escape street fights.)

Garrity brought more than just rum to the Nazis. He brought with him pretty much the only organizational talent the group had. They put him in charge of membership. Garrity called himself the "Heinrich Himmler" of the party, and a "Nazi leader for the Jewish Congress."

I'd like Rabbi Bulka's thoughts on that, too.

Of course, Garrity helped his paymasters at the CJC, too, giving them information about the names of party members and donors. And when Garrity finally quit the Nazis, he wrote a tell-all about his adventure in Maclean's magazine.

Garrity larded that report with personal insults toward Beattie and the Nazis. But he did acknowledge that they had never done, or even contemplated doing, anything illegal. All of the violence he witnessed was directed at Beattie, usually by Jewish vigilantes. "Sadly, it is the ... anti-Nazi extremists who, in their attempts to destroy Beattie, provide him with most of the publicity he craves. If it weren't for the riots and the assaults and the public protest meetings they hold, there'd be no real news in Beattie," Garrity wrote.

And that is the importance of this story and why I put it in my book about human rights commissions. Beattie hadn't done anything illegal. He was just a loser who believed in a discredited ideology. But the CJC wanted to bring in political censorship laws and I believe they needed to build up the threat to persuade Parliament to abridge Canada's freedom of speech.

Garrity puffed up a group of Nazi nobodies into a national menace, first through organizational support and then through spectacular media publicity. And, sure enough, Parliament enacted section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which censors offensive speech.

That's become a pattern. Twenty years after the Canadian Nazi Party vanished, CSIS, Canada's spy agency, inserted an operative named Grant Bristow into another rag-tag racist group called the Heritage Front.

Unlike Garrity, Bristow didn't play second-fiddle.

He became the boss, turning the Heritage Front into Canada's leading white supremacist group. This time it wasn't just Jewish money that was spent propping up neo-Nazis -- all taxpayers paid for it.

Which brings us to the present day -- and back to Rabbi Bulka and the section 13 censorship law. Canada's largest customer of section 13 is Richard Warman, who has been the complainant in all but two cases heard by the tribunal this decade. The CJC was so impressed that they gave Warman an award.

But, in a stunning human rights tribunal ruling last month, Warman himself was rebuked for posting anti-Semitic comments on Stormfront, a neo-Nazi website, including a message calling Jews "scum." Warman has stated that he was attempting to gather information on real Nazis, but the tribunal called his actions "disappointing and disturbing," and ruled that he risked encouraging more hateful messages himself.

Warman's actions appalled the tribunal, but apparently not the CJC. Just as the CJC did with Garrity, Nazi opponents continue to stir up neo-Nazi incidents -- as if there aren't enough real threats to Jews as it is.

Perhaps Rabbi Bulka can explain that one, too.


Another edit:
I was reading the comments at Ezra's blog, where a poster linked to this:
Dissapporbation: Censorship's Most Powerful Tool and a good little argument put forth by Doug Christie of the perils of 'peer pressure' and the fear of disapproval. Worth a listen.

I think part of true freedom is the freedom within oneself not to concern themselves with what others may think of them, trueness and loyalty to one's own ideals is in its own way a form of spiritual and individual freedom.

Welcome to Canada Israel North, No Not You Mr. Galloway!!

Well, it's totally confirmed now - as if there was any doubt.

Israel controls Canada's policies. Period. End of Line.

What a fracking joke.



I am outraged and ashamed of our pitiful politicians and in this case the spineless judge, Luc Martineau. No doubt he received a phone call or visit from our dishonourable friends at the JDL!!

What did they give you Judge? What did they threaten you with? Hmmmm? Here are some of his weasely words:

The judge noted there is some evidence that may back Galloway's claim the matter had been "prejudged" and the result of "external lobbying" and "political influence," but he declined to overturn the decision "which is alleged to be one made in bad faith and politically motivated."

Evidence that 'may' back Galloway's claim?? May?? Good grief, the JDL was slapping itself on its back for achieving this!! They are a bloody terrorist organisation according to the CIA and FBI! Both B'nai B'rith and the CJC applauded it!! Holy crap can this judge be any more idiotic? Not able to use common sense??

The judge said if Galloway chooses to further challenge the federal government's decision, a court will likely have to grapple with the question of whether his participation in the aid convoy or any personal financial support for the convoy should be considered "engaging in terrorism" or whether it "simply represents a symbolic gesture and political statement made by pacifists through the provision of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people of Gaza."

Well - what does he think? Honestly, if Mr. Galloway were 'engaging in terrorism', how then could he still hold a seat in our sister parliament in England for crying out loud??

I hope he takes this the whole way through the courts! I am truly dumbfounded by this, and I sure hope other Canadians are too!! We admit Bush, Israeli War Criminals and the like, Suharto for instance - but not Galloway?




Here's some links to various reports:
Judge denies British MP Galloway's request to enter Canada - CBC

Judge denies Galloway's bid to enter Canada - Toronto Star

Galloway has no criminal record and has never been denied entry to any other country. Last week, he delivered a speech at New York's Columbia University in which he called for a single-state option in the Middle East.

British Lawmaker barred from Canada - JTA

I'll throw in this one, even though Penny already has it up, but it gushes like the above, and speaks to the judge's comment on 'political motivation':
Jewish group proud of role in barring Galloway

And just in case you missed it, the Jewish Defense League of Canada. Pay them a visit - it's worth it. These people are Kahanists - Mier Kahane was even considered a terrorist by Israel herself!!

How embarassing to be Canadian today.


Our new flag?

Galloway - Comment

Comment

This a link to Galloway's PressTV's show where he takes questions from all over the world in various media and kvetches for a while.

I was stuck filing today and doing end of month stuff... yawn... so I gave it a listen. He always manages to bring a smile to my face, and hope to my heart.

If only we had an MP so outspoken and brutally honest as he.

Enjoy!

Canada Bans Galloway

It seems that my country is slipping faster and faster into the realm of Zionist controlled fascism. I certainly knew of the bias, and have been writing about it and commenting for years now. Still, I am surprised that our government would ban an elected MP, from entering Canada solely because the Jewish Defence League and her partners in suppression B'nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress told them too. That of course, speaks volumes in and of itself.

Canada sadly is complicit in the current crimes against Humanity occuring in besieged Gaza and the Occupied West Bank. Our leaders, lacking anything resembling a spine, have caved to the Lobby's pressures.

Truly I am disgusted. I will write my reps, but of course I am old enough to know that a response will NOT be forthcoming, as my own MP is firmly in thier pocket. So much so that he darn near ran away from me during the last campaign (his wife certainly pulled a vapourisation act, while his sons stood a few meters away looking embarrassed and giggling).

Here's an interview, of course it's NOT Canadian:



Now, considering the Jewish Defence League itself has been branded a 'terrorist' organisation in the past is this not rather ironic?

Why are we listening to this Mr. Weinstein's threats? Pray tell what does Hitler and the bloody Holocaust have to do with the slaughter in Gaza? The slaughter in Lebanon? The sabre rattling against Iran? Outside of being a diversion, to evoke some kind of misplaced sympathy for Israel and to stop all REAL debate, there is NO reason to mention it. It's old, it's tired and it's really HOLLOW.

I would much prefer if Mr. Weinstein packed his bloody bags and made aliyah already. We don't need him here.

Leslie Hughes: Raving Anti-Semite?

The Dion Liberals have asked Leslie Hughes to step out of the race, apparantly, she is an anti-semite! This fiasco certainly illustrates the changes within the various Jewish advocacy groups in Canada, especially after the takeover last year by CIJA and her moneybag sponsers.

Liberals ask candidate to step down over 9/11 comments
'No room' for 'odious' anti-Semitic conspiracy theories: Jewish group CEO


(Dion said)"I have reviewed the past comments of Lesley Hughes and it is clear they do not meet [our] standard," Dion said in a Friday release. "While I appreciate her apology, I cannot condone those sentiments in any way. I have therefore asked Ms. Hughes to step down as the Liberal party candidate in Kildonan-St. Paul."

Hughes, who learned of Dion's request from CBC News in Winnipeg, said she was stunned.

"It's a major shock to my faith in the party and the whole system," said Hughes, who defended her track record by citing her biography about a leading figure of the Jewish community and the Holocaust education that she taught in classes at the University of Winnipeg for more than a decade.

"It's the theatre of the absurd," said Hughes.

Well Ms. Hughes, welcome to the current state of affairs in Canadian politics. You cannot criticise Israel in any way whatsoever and certainly not the official conspiracy of Arabs version of the 911 attacks. This is clearly and transparantly pure anti-semitism on your part. Repent now.

The trend in the last decade to equate the actions of Israel with the desires of all Jews, whether Israelis or living in the Diaspora, is polarising the view and understanding of us all. There are many Jews who don't agree with the actions of the State of Israel and do not abide by her decisions. Yet, what we have now in Canada is a silencing of their voices.

How did this happen? Where is the plurality of opinion gone in the CJC? Was it ever even allowed? I digress.

If anyone is interested in reading the article which has resulted in this woman's turfing here it is.

The only bit which even mentions Israel (not Jews) is excerpted below:

Many official sources are claiming to have warned the American intelligence community, which spends $30 billion a year gathering information, about the attacks on the twin towers on that heartbreaking day.

German Intelligence (BND) claims to have warned the U.S. last June, the Israeli Mossad and Russian Intelligence in August. Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it. About 3000 Americans working there were not so lucky.

Yes, that is it. That is why Leslie has now been tarred with the 'anti-semite' label.

Question: Can Dion read? Did he read this piece? If so, can he explain what exactly is the problem here?
