OPEN LETTER TO RCMP COMMISSIONER BOB PAULSON

Commissioner Bob Paulson,

In 1996 the RCMP announced they would need more control of the internet since it was being used to distribute child porn. Being computer professionals, we gave a three inch thick report about child porn on the internet to the Langley RCMP after tracerouting the people that were posting it. They said they would contact their serious crimes division and get back to us. They never did. Less than two months later our home was broken into and all of our computer equipment was stolen. The RCMP sent out an officer, Dan Wendland, who did not bother to investigate. The same Surrey RCMP Wendland also lost all three witness reports to a hit and run car accident that left me badly injured. We no longer believe this was a coincidence.

This destroyed our lives and we moved to Alberta with our four children to piece our lives back together. When we filed our taxes we had a problem. We had no way to account for $80,000 worth of stolen office equipment that we lost in the burglary. Because Wendland did not do his job, we had no police report and could not prove to CRA that we did not owe money that they ESTIMATED we owed them. We were simply presumed guilty and then charged the money when we could not prove our equipment was stolen. We then discovered we had ex parte federal court orders, where we had not been invited to defend ourselves, to seize all of our belongings for debts owed to her majesty. The CRA would not honour their own court order when we tried to give them all of our belongings to settle their one-sided hidden illegitimate court paperwork.

(When we tried to get the police files so we could show all of our equipment was stolen so we could write it off and reduce our taxes, the RCMP did not understand why we wanted our files. They were so busy trying to cover up their tracks that they did not appear to understand that all we wanted was the police report. When we laid a formal complaint against Wendland, the RCMP referred to my husband, Jim, as a Bozo in their official files and said he laid the complaint against Wendland because it was sour grapes over losing his equipment. It shows they tried to use the complaint to cover up their dereliction rather than address the issue. We discovered the reason the RCMP had no files is because Wendland did not bother to investigate. He was completely derelict.)

Soon thereafter we started coming under attack by every government agency we dealt with and this has not changed for fifteen years. My husband thinks it is because the RCMP were putting much of the child porn on the internet in order to frame and entrap people. It was being put on newsgroups by computers belonging to the RCMP. The RCMP want to take down my husband’s websites because he has a blog where he shows how to traceroute the porn back to its source. It clearly shows people who own hundreds of porn sites in our country. Given the source of these sites, it looks like foreign nations are making an attack on the morals of this country. The websites also chronicle the many attacks the RCMP has made on us over the years.

In 2006 my husband was nearly killed in a tractor accident. After being unlawfully evicted when our Landlord/Tenant Arbitration was ignored and the RCMP covered up an assault and destruction of our vehicle, we were forced out of our home at Applegrove. Having no vehicle my husband tried to use the tractor to move. When we complained to the Ombudsman that my husband had been horribly injured due to the misfeasance of the Nakusp Agents Office and harassment by the RCMP, the Nakusp Agents Office made up a phoney story about my badly injured husband acting inappropriately when the truth was he could hardly stand or talk.

Our experience has been that every time we make a complaint to the Ombudsman or the RCMP Complaints Commission we are attacked and vilified by the people we complain about. There is no lawful venue a private Canadian has to complain about Crown Agent civil servants without coming under attack by them.

Being on a disability has been one long charade of constant accusations of fraud. Although we have been accused of fraud many times by MHSD, we have always proven our innocence. We finally got our records back from MHSD to find out what was going on. The records show a significant effort to whitewash their files. Rather than give us the original files so we can get to the bottom of these problems we have with them, MHSD took 30 days more than they are legally entitled to and doctored the documents. They make reference to their files and summarize them but do not divulge the actual files. The summaries are nothing more than an attempt to present their cover up as the files they have been asked to produce. It seems the RCMP have been working closely with the MHSD since the tractor accident to see if there is something they could charge Jim with.

As part of his physiotherapy, Jim likes to walk out in the wilds. Having been a hobby placer miner all of his life, Jim turned to his hobby to attract his interest. He staked many claims looking for pretty rocks for jewellery and hoping to find precious metals. When he acquired the claim at 1351 North Fork Road, things started to get nasty. Apparently the claim is on a range that is licensed by an RCMP informant named Prebushewski. Lumby RCMP Henry Proce bragged he had informants watching us and told us we had no right to privacy and no other rights either.

Soon after we acquired the claim we started becoming the brunt of complaints about being squatters. Our claim was vandalized and our property stolen repeatedly. It seemed to us that someone was watching us, as we would go down to the store and get back to find we had been vandalized. We legally licensed our claims from the Mining Titles Office. Soon after this we started coming under constant attack by Cpl. Proce from the Lumby RCMP office. We showed him our licenses to the claim but he told us we had to move as he would not know what a license looked like for a mining claim. Jim, my husband, told him that just because he did not know enough to find out what a license looked like did not give him the right to force us off legally acquired property. When you purchase a license from the Crown in this country, you have the right to quiet enjoyment of that property.

Proce brought up mining inspector John Cox, who confirmed that all of our licenses were in order and gave us instructions to clean all the dead wood out of the mining claim. Proce subsequently brought up another inspector; Don Smith who said that nothing we were doing was allowed or disallowed by the Act but he was seizing our mining claim because he had been ordered to by his superiors. Proce also claimed on many occasions that he was attacking us on our mining claim because his higher ups wanted us gone. When he showed up with Don Smith, he also had Troy Kimber in tow from the Attorney General’s office. The AG of BC was so concerned over our forty dollar panning license that he sent special agent Kimber all the way from Victoria to inspect the mining license that Jim bought online and they could have seen online in their own office.

Proce’s constant attacks on our camp were documented. Nearly every time Henry came out to attack us, Jim wrote a letter of complaint to the RCMP. We also sent registered letters to William Elliot about this debacle as it was unfolding. The RCMP could have prevented all of this at any time. This situation finally culminated with the RCMP informant trying to murder us in a drive by shooting. Jim complained to the Ombudsman about the MHSD disability officer cutting off our cheque and telling us he had done so because he was investigating the drive by shooting. We were incredulous that the disability officer had knowledge of it but discovered from FOIA files that he had been working with the RCMP to target us. A good friend of ours was at Justin Prebushewski’s wedding and heard them planning to shoot up our camp in order to drive us out of there.

After the complaint to the Ombudsman the RCMP became desperate to cover their tracks. Jim was first falsely arrested by Cst. Goodyear, even though no one had made a complaint and Crown had not laid any charges. He came out in the middle of the night to throw a blank piece of paper at us and drive off. He spent most of the time asking Jim how he could protect his investments and kept asking him if he wanted to sit in the back seat of the police car since it was cold out. The RCMP claim they have a behavioural science group that says my disabled husband is dangerous, but they obviously did not use this unit to screen this very unprofessional officer or the dozens of sexual perverts that women RCMP officers have now charged with misconduct.

We found out the person who was responsible for Jim being arrested was Dan Wendland, the derelict cop who did not bother to investigate our burglary and had caused us all the problems with CRA. The court case for the uttering threats to the disability worker has been beyond bizarre. The courts do not follow any of the rules of court that they give to their victims. When Jim showed up for the trial, his name was not on the docket and the court clerk said the Crown was not proceeding. We took down the docket and left after having all of our witnesses sign that we had showed up for the trial.

Proce subsequently announced in the paper that Jim had not shown up for the trial and was now wanted for uttering death threats, something he had never been charged with in the first place. We laid a complaint about Proce and Wendland stealing our mining claim and harassing us with the RCMP Complaints Commission, but once again the RCMP used the process in order to whitewash their illegal activity. We got a letter from RCMP Reg Burgess defending all the actions taken by his subordinates. Funny that Burgess doesn’t address any of our concerns but uses the complaint instead to bolster their allegations that my husband has uttered threats when in fact he wrote an official complaint to the Ombudsman about their criminal activity. Many copies of Burgess’ complaint coverup have been distributed and people are appalled at the way the RCMP have treated us.

We appealed to the Supreme Court for a hearing to get our mining claim back that had been stolen by mining inspector Don Smith’s malicious prosecution and Henry Proce’s’ constant attacks. His only evidence to take our claim was that Proce had told him we had the claim for non-mining purposes. They cannot say what this non-mining purpose is. We were supposed to go to court to get our mining claim back on November 21, 2011. We were prevented from doing so by RCMP Wendland and Proce, who charged Jim with uttering death threats and incarcerated him so that he could not attend court. We subsequently told the Attorney General to drop the case, as we had already nearly been killed by the RCMP and Jim did not want to spend the rest of his life in jail over it.

As a result of the constant attacks and because we have never been able to get justice from our own government and civil servants who attack us, Jim has put much of this up on web sites and videos. Over 70,000 people have watched Jim`s videos and many more have read his books and websites. This scandal is not going to go away. Too many people know about it. Yes, you have the upper hand right now, but haven`t you people learned anything?

First of all there was one female police officer that said the RCMP are porn peddling perverts. Reading her story about how she tried to complain about the RCMP certainly shows why none of the rest of us get any satisfaction with these legal perverts investigating each other either. Next the RCMP had half a dozen women step forward and they settled out of court. That speaks volumes. And what did the RCMP get for Christmas? Now they have 25 men and women in the RCMP that have laid charges against them for sexual harassment and distributing porn in their desks at work. The RCMP certainly have an addiction to porn don’t they? I read on the RCMP Watch website that a Vernon NCO has now been alleged to have been involved in sexual harassment. Would that be Burgess, Wendland or Proce?

The moral of the story is that yes, you can beat people up. Yes, you can throw people in jail. Yes, you can act unprofessional and abuse your authority. But you can’t get away with it forever. You people are not going to get away with trying to murder us, stealing our mining claim and costing us thousands of dollars in lost property and work. You have beset our dwelling, stalked our children, harassed us and it amounts to torture.

We noted that the RCMP wanted our computers at the bail hearing where they made up all sorts of nasty lies about Jim in order to have him thrown in jail. You need not bother. For years now, there have been people tracking the RCMP on the internet. This evidence sits on servers around the world. We also made dozens of copies of our files and gave them to people for safe keeping. There are now hundreds of websites in Canada that are dedicated to the corruption of the RCMP and the Canadian civil service. I see Maclean’s magazine now calls BC the most corrupt place on earth. Comments from your fellow Canadians on the many websites dedicated to exposing RCMP corruption and brutality certainly show what their fellow countrymen think of them.

MSD
My husband and I are both disabled. We were living on a mining claim in the middle of nowhere. We had no electricity and no way to communicate with the outside world. If Proce had not come out to our mining claim to attack us, the RCMP would never have had a problem. Now the only thing we have to do with our lives is fight for justice and expose the crimes committed by those that were supposed to protect us. Yes we are disabled, have no money and have no weapons. Yes RCMP have unlimited funds, regularly commit crimes like those you have against us in order to cover your tracks and have flak jackets, semi-automatic handguns at your side, all sorts of assault weaponry and even armoured vehicles. So why are you one scandal from extinction?

What has been happening to my family and myself is a scandal.  The attempt on our lives is a serious criminal offence.  We are not going to go away.  We are tired of being treated like criminals when we are not.  We have legitimate concerns and complaints and they will be heard.  Are you listening Mr. Paulson?  What is it they say?  What goes around comes around.  I have enclosed a document of my complaint about the RCMP for your perusal, I intend to submit it to the new independent civilian office for complaints against the RCMP that will be opening up. The ‘complaint investigation’ that we just went through with Mr. Burgess was nothing short of disgusting and we can certainly sympathize with the dozens of poor women working for the RCMP that have been under attack because they also complained. Can you do anything about this other than passing it on to the Complaints Department and allowing these people to investigate themselves?

Sincerely,

Judith Townsend

FREE JIM TOWNSEND – CANADIAN POLITICAL PRISONER

FREE JIM TOWNSEND – CANADIAN POLITICAL PRISONER

by Arthur Topham
February 27, 2012

“And I won’t be laughing at the lies when I’m gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I’m gone
Can’t add my name to the fight while I’m gone
So I guess I’ll have to do it while I’m here”

~Phil Ochs, When I’m Gone circa 1960′s

Jim Townsend has spent most of his lifetime fighting for peace and freedom, both within Canada and globally. Like many of us from the 60′s Generation he was able to see the future for the simple reason that he spend his time living in the now. And ‘now’, because of his beliefs, in his country and in life itself, and in his knowing that freedom means the God given right and duty to speak one’s truth, he has been pursued and harassed and hunted down like a dog by those forces within our nation who, for vested and criminal reasons, have set out to silence one of Canada’s great and patriotic citizens.

One might, if they wished to find a comparison to Jim’s voice of reason and common sense, find his equal in that great English patriot and hero of the American War of Independence, Thomas Paine. It was Paine’s ideas; the fruit of his discerning and independent spirit, that tipped the balance of both opinion and history itself, during a period of history when the early American colonies, fast waxing in freedom and prosperity thanks to an abundance of natural resources and space, were faced with the prospect of having to make an ultimate decision; one that would decide their fate as a nation.

The British Crown in 1776 was determined to go to war against the newly founded colonies in the new found world where so many Europeans had fled in vast numbers to escape the endless maelstrom of wars, tyranny, taxation, wage slavery and religious persecution that was then order of the day. Men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin all were influenced and impressed into action by the rational arguments made by Paine; arguments as old as dawn’s history and as cold and tangible as the chains that bind every free born human forced to bow down before another’s will.

The fact that today Jim Townsend is in jail in Kamloops, British Columbia, attests not only to what Thomas Paine warned the American people of but also speaks volumes in terms of just how much (or little) humanity has actually progressed over the past 236 years of living in what purports to be a “democratic” country.

Jim, like myself, and many other seekers after truth and justice of the 60s generation, has gone through the mentally challenging incremental stages of growth and learning that are a prerequisite to the actual gaining of a broad, encompassing knowledge of how the world of politics and religion actually works. He began his journey to awareness, not by gazing out idealistically from the hallowed halls of academia and studying college text books in comfort but by entering the real world of common man; a world where freedom depended upon how much money was in your pocket not how many certificates hung from your office wall.

When it comes to understanding how a person’s country is ran politically and economically and who the players are that tend to shape its destiny such degrees of understanding, no different than the academic credentials that adorn the intellectual classes of today’s world, demand a willful, determined effort; one continuously accosted by the conditioned customs of the day.

Jim met these challenges and as a result accomplished what most people today still yearn for: an all encompassing realization and a lucid comprehension of how our world actually is organized when it comes to the basic mechanisms that permit the wheels of both industry and intellect to revolve in harmonious fashion. It is due to his understanding of these principles as well as his cognizance of how they have been usurped and perverted and the fact that he has used his verbal and technical skills via the Internet to transmit his truth that he and his family have been threatened, accosted, literally shot at and prevented from living their lives in peace and comfort.

Jim’s initial book that reveals what he learned about how Canada has been set up can be read at on RadicalPress.com. The title is FREEDOM! CANADA and can be found in the right column on the home page.

Jim’s story is much too long and way too interesting for me to tell it in a short introductory essay. My purpose in writing these lines is to hopefully convey to Canadians the urgency of Jim and his family’s plight. The police forces, the judicial forces, the msm forces, and assorted government ministries (both provincial and federal) have determined to destroy Jim’s character and his ability to support his family all because of what Jim has learned about how the “system” works and because he had the courage and integrity to risk his personal freedom in order to convey his truth to other Canadians.

The state is doing its damnedest to stop Jim’s ideas from gaining any traction on the Internet and thus they have arrested him and forced him to remove his websites that contain the incriminating evidence of their own malfeasance. What remains though and what I would encourage anyone reading these words to do is go try and watch Jim’s YouTube productions that still remain in cyberspace and are the essence of what his life’s work has taught him. If you Google “Jim Townsend – videos” you will still be able to find numerous short 10 minute presentations that cover a number of core topics dealing with how our country has been shaped and manipulated into the conditions that presently prevail. I will be posting the titles and urls to a number of them below.

I have been associated both with Jim’s his work and his valiant efforts to support his family for over a dozen years now. His situation, not that unlike my own, is symbolic to other Canadians who are also struggling to shed light on our collective plight as a nation and who find themselves up against a common, conditioned wall of prejudice and idiosyncratic ignorance coupled with a form of self-imposed bigotry that is as daunting as it is delusional.

As the line from another of Phil Ochs’ famous songs goes; one that applies to not only Jim Townsend but to all who strive for freedom and justice, “there but for fortune, go you or I.”

Back in November of 2011 I posted on my website the following message and plea for Jim. If you haven’t signed that petition request yet please try to do so.

Jim’s case is urgent. He was supposed to go to court for a trial and instead they just grabbed him and put him in jail. His health has been compromised due to an unfortunate tractor accident that crushed his body a few years ago. His condition has forced upon him and his family a scenario where finding the wherewithal to survive financially has been an ongoing challenge. As such I would ask you, dear reader, to look into your heart and try to imagine yourself in Jim’s situation and from there extrapolate to whether or not you might be able to help him and his family out. If you are able to please consider sending some much needed funds to Jim’s wife using the only means available to them which is a PayPal account.

Alexis Elixirs at jim@jim-townsend.com

Jim’s courage, tenacity, advocacy and imaginative, creative spirit throughout this period is a living testament to the fact that all he has done now exposes the corruption of the police state we’re all living in.

I will be posting more information on my website regarding Jim’s situation. PLEASE TRY TO FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO OTHERS. Also, I have the Poster “FREE JIM TOWNSEND” in a higher resolution for anyone who might wish to print copies for distribution. Please contact me via email and I will send you a larger copy.

Anyone wishing further information on Jim or to contact Jim via his wife Judith is asked to write to: Judith Townsend judithtownsend@hotmail.com

As far as I know these two urls are still operating. Please advise if you find they are not working.

The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today by Elizabeth Dilling XI: JEWS AND MARXISM — SOCIALISM — COMMUNISM



[Editor’s Note: Elizabeth Dilling, all things considered, was a prophetess in her own time. Her various works, which include her exposure of the Zionist Jewish infiltration of the United States of America and her analysis of Bolshevism, Communism and Zionism as one Beast with numerous names, are a testament to her courage and her foresight in revealing the truth during a period of American history when to speak out was to risk the inevitable attacks by the Jewish establishment. Groups like the American Jewish Congress and B’nai Brith International and their attack-dog the Anti-Defamation League, were always ready and willing to vilify anyone who dared to speak out about their plans to implement their one world government and Elizabeth Dilling was forced to deal with their Talmudic tactics from the moment she picked up the sword of truth.

Each chapter of her book is preceded by the Forward and an Introduction. Readers who go beyond Chapter One will find it convenient to just scroll down the page until the start of the new chapter.]

—————

Foreword

Elizabeth Dilling Stokes was born, raised, and educated in Chicago. After attending the University of Chicago she married, and for many years devoted her life to her children, social activities on the North Shore of Chicago, and being a concert harpist. After hearing of the great “humanitarian experiment” in Soviet Russia, she traveled there in 1931, and was able to go behind the scenes. She was shocked at the forced labor, the squalid living quarters, and deplorable living conditions, and the atmosphere of fear created by the Soviet dictatorship.

She was most shocked by the virulent anti-Christianity of the atheist Communist regime.

Following her return to the United States she lectured and wrote about what she had seen, realizing from the opposition which immediately arose that a substantial Marxist movement was active in the United States.  In 1934 her first book The Red Network was published, an expose of the persons and organizations furthering Red causes in the United States.   In 1936, her second book, The Roosevelt Red Record and Its Background, was published.

Almost immediately after these books were published, she was attacked as “anti-semitic,” although she had actually offered her anti-Communist services to Jewish organizations, and knew nothing of organized Jewish involvement in the Marxist movement.  After researching and studying, however, in 1940 she published her third book The Octopus, which dealt with these subjects.

After World War II commenced, Mrs. Dilling became convinced that, despite President Roosevelt’s protestations that not one American boy would ever again fight on foreign soil, there was a movement afoot to involve the United States, with the result that a substantial part of the world would be communized later.

In 1941, she led a Mother’s March on Washington to oppose the “Lend Lease” bill, proclaimed to help keep us out of war by its sponsors, but proving the last step for our involvement.  The bill passed by only one vote.  A few months later, the United States went to war.

In 1944, Mrs. Dilling’s views involved her in the now infamous mass “sedition” trial.  The case was ultimately dismissed  by a Federal Court as “a travesty on justice.”

She was later remarried to Jeremiah Stokes, a Christian anti-Communist writer, and she continued to write and lecture in behalf of Christianity and Constitutional Americanism, first publishing this book in 1964.

DRY ROT: The Far Right Targets the Left by Will Offley

[Editor's Note: A word of explanation as to why this article is now being posted on the site. It was a feature article that first appeared in the Jan/Feb 2001 edition of Canadian Dimension, a "left" magazine located in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. The reason for re-publishing it now is because it is relevant to an understanding of how the so-called political "Left" in Canada is controlled by the very same Zionist forces who are also in control of the Canada's political "Right" wing parties in this country.

On one hand (or claw, if you prefer :-) ) we have the Harper Conservatives and on the other the Zionist Jew Ignatieff Liberals along with their supposedly "socialist", crypto-Zionist NDP and Bloc appendages.

By all outward appearances we have an ideological dichotomy but in actuality we have but two arms or tentacles stretching forth from the cephalopod source of all our discontent – political Zionism.

In order to show how this scenario unfolds in Canada it will be necessary to use this article as an example of how the Zionists infiltrate and eventually subordinate each and every movement in Canada that shows tendencies challenging to the Zionist ideology or critical of the 'state' of Israel.

The article in question cannot be found by googling it and one cannot find it on the Canadian Dimension website. It's fallen into the sink-hole of non-history because it no longer is useful to those who originally wrote and published it.  I have it here mainly for reference as it will be useful in further discussions.]

DRY ROT: The Far Right Targets the Left

by Will Offley

Jan/Fed 2001 Vol. 35 No. 1
Canadian Dimension Magazine

Like most huge events in history, the fall of the Berlin Wall shook our world. In doing so it also changed the ground rules of politics.

Whether you call it paradigm shift or merely the temporary triumph of neoliberalism, the dust from the Wall’s collapse has clouded our vision for nearly a decade. Without exception, currents of the Left around the world have found themselves disoriented and scrambling to create a new vision and a new political framework within which to organize and to fight. This has not only been true for the traditional Communist parties, but for the non-Stalinist and anti-Stalinist Left as well.

The left has not yet been able to reconstitute a coherent vision of the new world we want to see issue from the ashes of the old, nor have we articulated the strategy or programme or organizations necessary to make that happen.  As a result, radical left politics have remained largely confined to “anti” politics for a decade or more: anticorporate, anti-globalization, anticapitalist.  We have remained locked down behind the relatively easy bulwark of what we’re against, rather than venturing out into the exposed and more dangerous terrain of defining what we’re for.  In addition, in some sectors there have been marked tendencies to view the capitalist system through the lens of conspiracism and irrationality, where plots and conspiracies replace class interests and mass politics as the motor forces of human society.

This weakening of its culture, institutions and politics have rendered some sectors of the broad left vulnerable to the conscious and organized predation being carried out in Canada by a specific current of the far right. In the U.S. this dates back as far as the Gulf War, where neo-fascist currents like the Larouche organization and Spotlight sought to attach themselves to the movement against the war.

Is the Canadian left immune from this sort of targeting?  No.

Is the situation any different now, a decade later?  Yes and no.

Yes, because Seattle has led to Washington, and from there to Philadelphia and L.A. and Windsor and Prague.  Quebec will be next, and it won’t be the end.  The rise of the struggle in the streets against globalization marks the end of ten years of demoralization and confusion.

There is a new dynamism and a new optimism, and if the path ahead is only partially visible, at least we’re collectively underway again.

However, one has only to look at Seattle to see that the growth of far right currents within and alongside the left and progressive movements has increased visibly over the decade.  There are also indicators that point to a change – during the Gulf War, the far right was active on the fringes, but by Seattle it seemed to be active at the very centre of things.  While the young militants faced down the cops and the gas in downtown Seattle, on a leadership level elements of that movement were being increasingly compromised politically by a de facto convergence between Ralph Nader and the most important far-right leader in the United States, the semi-fascist Pat Buchanan.  Five months later during the April 16th mobilizations in Washington, Buchanan shared a stage with Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa Jr. as an invited guest of the AFL-CIO.

Antiglobalist politics are not the exclusive preserve of the left. Though it springs from different roots, Buchanan’s opposition to globalization and free trade is as genuine as ours.  He just takes it in a direction diametrically opposed to everything else we stand for – protectionism, racism, exclusion.  Not only that, there have been plenty of examples this century to show the far right can be anti-corporate too.

Throughout the 1920′s Hitler’s Nazi Party contained a minority current led by Gregor and Otto Strasser that was inalterably opposed to the German trusts… as well as the Jews, the Communists, Social Democrats, gays and lesbians, unions, etc.

Nor is the far right confined solely to the hardcore neo-Nazism of the Heritage Front or the Northern Hammerskins.  It’s relatively easy to ward off the interventions of groups that put swastikas on their literature. It’s considerably more difficult when the politics of the groups in question are cloaked in progressive rhetoric and hidden behind coded language. Between Wolfgang Droege and Stockwell Day there is a whole swamp of currents and organizations – conspiracist, anti-Semitic, some with hidden fascist agendas, some totalitarian, some merely far right.

Some of these are targeting the left.  There is reason to be concerned.
Made for Each Other

Although they’re based at different ends of the country, they seem to be made for each other.

The Radical is a monthly tabloid published in Quesnel, B.C. since June 1998 by Arthur Topham, a self-described anarchist who regards himself as “a natural, sovereign and unique critter who doesn’t need any centralized forms of authority telling me how to run my life.”

Discourse and Disclosure is a more irregularly-published bimonthly, also a tabloid.  It has been put out by editor Sue Potvin since May 1996. Potvin, formerly a resident of Ottawa, now resides in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Potvin is considerably less forthcoming about herself than is Topham.

Both publications share common positions on many different issues.  Both are opposed to globalization, the WTO, the MAI, NAFTA, the World Bank, the IMF, and now to the FTAA.  Both are opposed to the increasing corporate domination of the economy and most other sectors of everyday life.  Both have editorially supported the mobilizations against globalization, from Seattle to Prague.  Both have condemned NATO, and the West’s aggression against Yugoslavia.  Both oppose clearcutting and support many environmental causes.  Both are strongly supportive of Canadian nationalism.  Both have even run articles endorsing gay and lesbian rights, and have been outspoken in support of native struggles from Ipperwash to Gustafsen Lake. When you realize that each has survived hand-to-mouth for years, with very shaky finances, the announcement in the November 2000 issues of each publication that they were moving towards appearing as a joint publication makes a whole lot of sense.  The Radical is distributed widely throughout the hinterland of B.C; Discourse and Disclosure appears to have a broader national distribution.  Both share a number of regular contributors.  To move toward joint publication is a completely logical step in extending the reach of two papers which have essentially identical editorial approaches.

In fact, the similarities go far deeper, but this requires you to get out a fine-tooth comb and start a much closer examination of both publications.  Both papers are riddled with conspiracy theorists.  Both have supported the politics of David Icke, the new age anti-Semite who argues the world is being run by a conspiracy of blood-drinking lizards. Both regularly feature and support the activities of the far-right Detax movement.  Both exhibit numerous links to various prominent anti-Semites, militia supporters and white supremacists.  And because of these similarities both have become important vehicles in English Canada for the politics of the third position current of Canada’s far right, third position because this current of the right rejects capitalism AND Marxism.

SMEAR JOB!!! : The Zionist Media’s Mendacious Battle to Control Canada’s Election Agenda By Arthur Topham

SMEAR JOB!!! : The Zionist Media’s Mendacious Battle to Control Canada’s Election Agenda

By Arthur Topham

September 29, 2008

Midway into Canada’s federal election the battle lines are clearly taking shape as voters across the country witness in anger and sad disbelief the Asper Media cartel’s unabashed smear campaign now being orchestrated against any and all candidates who don’t espouse views acceptable to the Zionist agenda for globalization, endless war, and the suppression of free speech.

Whether you are Green or Red or Blue the colour doesn’t matter. What is critical is that you must not come into this election bearing any present or past grievances toward either the Bush Regime, the Zionist state of Israel, the illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq or the draconian federal laws prohibiting citizens from cultivating or enjoying a puff of that magic dragon cannabis.

Spearheaded by CanWest’s Asper media monopoly and its most zealous rag the National (Zionist) Post and aided and abetted by the persistent collusion of a motley hoard of rabid, pro-Zionist cyber hounds concealing themselves behind various “Christian”, “Conservative” and “Liberal” blogkades, the search for the non-believers in the official lies of 9/11, the heathen apostates who have yet to prostrate themselves before the Zionist Israeli lobby now controlling Ottawa and the freaks who once, or still, smoke the cursed marijuana herb are all fair game in this Armageddon to control the mind-fields of Canada’s volatile electors.

Astonishing as it may appear to many voters the realization that Canada’s media is dominated by one small faction of Zionist extremists still remains a mystery yet is thee perennial problem that Canadians face in terms of discerning truth from lies when it comes to our so-called “independent”, mainstream media.

When Joe or Jane reader in British Columbia pick up their “news” paper from their front step or the supermarket or corner grocery they basically have four choices: The Province, The Vancouver Sun, The National Post or The Globe and Mail. Of these four the first three are part of a monopoly that Vancouver writer and political commentator Robin Mathews once described as being one of the “sleaziest media concentration monsters in Canadian history: CanWest Global Communications”.

CanWest is owned by the Asper family, admittedly pro-Israel and thus, by definition, Zionist in terms of its political perspective.

Mathews also stated that Sociologist Larry Patriquin, after studying The National Post (2004), said of the Post’s material that it fits “’the classic definition of propaganda’. It was, he said, ‘a discourse in which incomplete information is presented to people with the purpose of distorting their view….’”

In fact a reporter for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in an analysis of CanWest’s propaganda machine, once commented that it was so slanted and biased in its political coverage that  “Vancouver’s daily papers should be read at a 45-degree angle”!

The fourth choice, The Globe & Mail, while not apparently owned by the Zionists, might as well be for it follows suit with the former three in its editorial policies and is thus basically a clone of the Zionist cartel of the Aspers. In tandem they all work together to give a one-sided, pro-Zionist perspective on national issues and global politics, one that favours the US/Israel/UK agenda as well as the Harper government’s Conservative perspective on political issues.

In addition to the aforementioned, CanWest also owns Southam Publications whose daily papers include: the Halifax Daily News, the St. John’s Telegram, the Charlottetown Guardian, the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citizen, the Windsor Star, the St. Catharines Standard, the Regina Leader Post, the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, the Calgary Herald, the Edmonton Journal, and the Victoria Times-Colonist.

As well, the Asper cartel owns 126 other daily and weekly papers across Canada. Here In BC these papers include: the Abbotsford Times, the Alberni Valley Times, the Burnaby Now, the Campbell River Courier-Islander, the Chilliwack Times, the Coquitlam Times Now, the Comox Valley Echo(partnership interest), the Cowichan Valley Citizen (Duncan), the Delta Optimist, the Harbour City Star, the Kamloops Daily News, the Lake Cowichan News, the Langley Advance, the Maple Ridge Times, the Monthly Star Homes, the Nanaimo Daily News, the New Westminster Record, the North Shore News, the Now Community, the Parksville/Qualicum Beach Morning Sun, the Pennyworth Shopper, the Prince George Citizen, the Real Estate Weekly, the Richmond News, the TV Scene, the Vancouver Courier, and the Westerly News.

This same Asper/Zionist media monopoly extends to television as well where the vast majority of Canadians get their political perspective on national and world events and includes the following televised media sources: Global Television Network (8 regional channels including Edmonton’s ITV and Vancouver’s VTV), Fox Sportsworld Canada, Lone Star, Deja View, Mystery Channel, CHEK Victoria, CHTV Hamilton, and CHBC Okanagan. They also own Fireworks Entertainment and 8 other foreign channels and numerous radio stations across the globe.

Now when you consider that an identical editorial (propaganda) perspective, such as the recent poison-penned hit attack upon Liberal candidate Leslie Hughes and the NDP’s Bev Collins by Jonathan Kay of the National Post is instantly peddled throughout this vast media network is it that surprising so many Canadians are overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the Zionist propaganda machine and find themselves thrown into cognizant disarray?

Those additional forces within the fabric of Canadian society who are pushing this pro-Zionist agenda, either wittingly or unwittingly, consists in the main of the following: Harry Abrams and the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada, the Canadian Jewish Congress headed by Bernie Farber, the Simon Weisenthal Center and an assortment of pro-Israeli websites and bloggers such as http://www.FreeDominion.com , http://www.EzraLevant.com , the Liberal’s http://www.teambc.ca , http://www.liblogs.ca , http://jaycurrie.info-syn.com , Kathy Shaidle http://www.fivefeetoffury.com , http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com , http://jasoncherniak.blogspot.com and so on.

Voters are being assailed on all quarters by a concerted effort on the part of a biased media monopoly to thwart the right of Canadians to choose their representatives without interference from an obviously parisan Fourth Estate.

As Dylan once prophetically wrote, “The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast”. Canadians, whether they wish it or not, are being forced to either suspend their disbelief in the freedom and independence of Canada’s media or else come to terms with the obvious.

There is only one reasonable solution and that is for all those political parties currently being affected to realize the trap they’ve fallen into and to then confront this mendacious media attack upon their candidates and expose the true agenda of the Asper empire. It will take courage and the will power to stand up for one’s beliefs but if our parties don’t confront this Trojan Horse now and expose it for what it truly is then the results will only be that much worse for the country in the long run.

DON’T SHOOT ‘EM IN MY BACK YARD!

DON’T SHOOT ‘EM IN MY BACK YARD!
(Betty’s No.1 priority as mayor)

Vancouver, Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Betty Krawczyk
betty_krawczyk@shaw.ca

Don’t shoot ‘em in my back yard! That’s become the new NIMBY for many people in Vancouver. That’s what happened in my neighbourhood last week, just a few streets away. And the murdered man who died in a back alley behind his house on Napier Street had a partner in the real estate business. Pot and real estate is a natural business connection. Who would know better than real estate people where the best grow-op houses would be? And as the RCMP estimates that the estimated annualized retail return for marijuana cultivated in BC is six billion dollars some growers are willing to simply shoot it out to protect such lucrative territory. And even our esteemed Attorney General Wally Oppal, who says he hardly ever sees his brother who is connected with a grow op house, squirms uncomfortably when questioned about this blood connection, not to mention the drug connection with some ex ministers assistants and God and Goddess only knows who else will eventually surface in the legislature as the ruthlessly suppressed accusations unfold.

Six billion dollars! Think of that. Could the ready drug cash for grow op houses, especially upscale ones that are pushing all house prices up have anything to do with the obscene house prices even the most miserable hovels in the poorest parts of town and is making most average income people house and rent poor? In order to make developers and speculators besides the gang cartels even richer? Well, what else could it be? Just about everybody knows who has ever smoked pot or who smokes pot or knows someone intimately who smokes pot that it is a lot less harmful than alcohol. It’s alcohol that drives people crazy. It’s alcohol that causes fights, car wrecks, wife beating, and child abuse. When I am mayor of Vancouver I will make it a priority to work to legalize pot, tax the hell out of it as ex-mayor Larry Campbell recently advised ( although I have to wonder why he waited until he was no longer mayor to advise it) and use the proceeds for reasonable housing for everybody. Doesn’t that sound like a workable solution? Why are politicians so afraid to say these things? Well, I’ll say them. And do them. When I’m mayor. When you make me mayor.

hi wini~

hmmmmmm. healthy hedonism

lol!! chocolate with almonds…… peach cobbler……. vanilla creme sandwich cookies

sitting around a food-filled table with smiling eyes and faces…….. sharing inspiration and insight…….. dancing in celebration of friendship with God and each other……. absorbing the beauty of a flower or a sunset….. listening to harmonious song of birds and the music of the spheres.

i know the pleasure thing is part of the “redemption” of matter……. that individuality must be deeply immersed in the form life in order to redeem ALL of it………. down to the lowest vibratory manifestation. it creates a tension that is purposeful and in a sense is a sacrificial work of salvaging substance/force and forwarding the evolution of matter.

the Old Commentary says…….”the Mother is saved by the birth of Her Son.” (the Son being the relationship between spirit and matter…….. God and His Form) “the forces of substance must eventually yield to the energy of the soul.”

so exploring the pleasure aspect is part of the process…… the catch word is “healthy” so humanity doesn’t end up trashing itself and the planet in wanton self-gratification …… and jeopardize the work of untold previous incarnations and group effort whose end goal is the spiritization of matter……. the manifestation of the Heavenly Man. as with everything else….. balance is key.

pleasure as an ethic

its all about sound – the world is resonance – fidelity is clarity and vibrational velocity – there really is no option/choice

organic integration along with cyberactive apparatus balancing holds many keys to controlling sensation obsession – media has taken the underlying traditional sense of hedonism and .com-mercialized it to the max – in a way it is at the bottom of all .com-mercial activity …seems to have put a focus on it where it has very little to do with a natural seeking of pleasurable organic balance more everything to do with freedom and the act of free will power over someone/thing – choice is definitely the obsession of many

Dear Arthur –

Enjoyed your web page discussion [The Marijuana Dialogues]. Took me back to our “Let there be Light” series and pleasure as an ethic.

Speaking of addiction I wonder how many of these experts smoke tobacco and know of the death toll involved ?

Use and abuse through lack of discipline is quite another matter.

http://www.radicalpress.com/?p=241

In the 1920′s hemp tea was a common remedy for many ailments – my grandmother – used it regularly for her rheumatism as a simple “herb of the field” as given by God in the Genesis 1 intro.

Rich intellectuals – poets – famous authors from our Brit Universities – used more powerful mental stimulents and this cultural cluster influenced global literature and my personal DNA unfoldment in wonderful ways.

Then one time when travelling down in N. Carolina – about 30 years ago – I saw a chain gang working in the ditches along the highway spoke with some of the men – and marijuana was how they got there.

“Cannabis-marijuana has a very long history as a medicinal plant. It was criminalized in 1937, on the basis of a self-serving, racist and agenda-laden campaign by a U.S. government bureaucrat, Harry J. Anslinger.” Who was this guy?

What would God want?

Dear Radical Reader.

Starting in October of this year I submitted a letter to the local Quesnel newspaper decrying the use of piss-testing of young people prior to considering them for lumber mill jobs. As a result of that letter the discussions turned to the topic of Marijuana and since then the newspaper has been publishing pro and con comments about this issue.

The list of responses can be found at the following url on the radicalpress website: http://www.radicalpress.com/?p=241

I’m now publishing the latest response for two reasons: 1. because it illustrates the degree of ignorance still present in the populace and 2. because if you find the discussions of interest you may wish to add to them by sending along your ideas on the topic to the Quesnel Cariboo Observer. Address your letter to: Editor Quesnel Cariboo Observer newsroom@quesnelobserver.com .

It’s rare these days to find a mainstream publication that will give so much coverage to this issue (the paper is a publication of Black Press which owns most of the community newspapers in the province of B.C.) so let’s do what we can to sustain the debate and provide positive feedback for the decriminalization and legalization of this much-maligned medicinal herb.

Thank you.

Re: Attack unnecessary, Feedback, the Observer, Nov. 15.

Arthur Topham’s letter glorifies the use of marijuana as a tremendous God-given gift to society.

A more direct interpretation of the Bible, in fact, proves God could indeed have provided us with Topham’s “sacred weed” not as a gift, but as a curse. Moreover, God dearly wants us to keep marijuana illegal even in the glaring absence of any solid scientific basis to make that decision. In fact, alpha and omega, the beginning and the end of the Bible make this abundantly clear.

MARIJUANA DIALOGUES

Dear Reader.

[Recent Post Script as of Dec. 7, 2006. The latest response in the ongoing discussions surrounding Marijuana came in yesterday to the Quesnel newspaper. It's entitled, "What would God want?" and is likely one of the more convoluted and twisted justifications for keeping the herb under federal wraps and innocent souls in prison. It's a must read if only for the humour of it all! :-) Ed.]

In the October 1st edition of the Quesnel Cariboo Observer I read an article about how the local mills were piss testing young job applicants in order to find out if they’d been smoking pot or doing drugs like cocaine, etc. The gist of the article was that it was terribly sad how these young people were testing positive and therefore losing out on gainful employment with the corporations and a chance to better themselves.

I took offense to the fact that these corporate marauders were judging people on the basis of their use of pot and them condemning them and treating them like criminals.

I wrote a response to the article and following the publication of that letter on the 15th of October a whole slough of responses resulted all of which make up the content of this post. The latest letters appeared in the Nov. 5 edition of the Cariboo Observer. I will add any further replies as time passes.

I would like to thank the Observer editor Andrea Johnson for running this series of letters.

[P.S. Further to the letters originally submitted was the Nov. 8 reply by Paul Drescher of Kersley, B.C. entitled "Drug tests weed out abusers". That letter prompted another response from myself and three other writers who were replying to Drescher's letter and others prior to that one. They are included after Drescher's and all appeared in the Nov. 15th edition of the Quesnel Cariboo Observer. Ed.]

NEWS: 13 fail their drug tests

JOHN KING
Observer Reporter

With what looked to be 15 solid applicants, one Quesnel mill thought they’d have no trouble filling their labour opening.

But after 13 applicants failed the mill’s drug test, it wasn’t so certain.

Justice and Safety chair Coun. Sushil Thapar directed a meeting where committee members decided to take the fight into schools and educate today’s youth because they’re tomorrow’s employees.

“It’s a sad situation,” Thapar said.

“Employers are looking for people who are drug free.”

With entry-level mill labourers fetching $23 an hour, Thapar said such jobs lead people to a better life.

“They can take it to the next step,” he said.

With that kind of money, people can afford to go back to school or support their families, Thapar explained.

“Now, these people have to work for minimum wage jobs somewhere.
