AND THERE THE JEWS!
from A PROPHET AT HOME, Chapter 5
by Douglas Reed. 1941

Editor’s Preface: It was my intention to have this chapter from Douglas Reed’s 1941 book, A Prophet At Home typed up and published online for November 11th to coincide with Remembrance Day. It didn’t happen but readers will still benefit from what the author has to say about conditions in Britain in 1939-40 as they relate to those of today in Canada and the USA as well as elsewhere in Europe, etc.

Reed returned to England in 1939 from the Continent after spending a number of years in Berlin, Vienna and Prague working as Chief correspondent for the London Times. In that capacity he was privy to a panoramic view of the political landscape in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia leading up to the resumption of the World War in 1939.

This particular chapter from his final book of a three-part series that began in 1938 with Insanity Fair followed in ‘39 by Disgrace Abounding is extremely relevant to our own times and bears close reading. Seventy years have passed yet the information contained in this chapter appears to be in a time-warp as if the conditions which precipitated it somehow were frozen in time. As such it now stands as a striking historical record, clearly illustrating the degree of power and influence which the Zionist Jews of his day wielded over the British parliament and the British press.

Concomitant with this fact and more important in terms of today is the evidence which Reed provides that shows how the Jews of the 1930s were already consummate masters of the immigration game.

It has been a contention of mine for a number of years that the Zionist Jews who control Canada’s PM, House of Parliament and Judiciary are using their illegitimate influence over government to manipulate and control immigration policies; ones which have been having a detrimental effect upon Canadian society for decades and which also dovetail fully with the Zionist agenda of destroying all nation states in the world in order to facilitate the implementation of their Zionist one world government.

Immigration, like the control of the media, banking, pharmaceutical conglomerates, major corporations including oil and gas and water and cultural and educational institutions, is a vital part of the program to destroy the democratic framework upon which sovereign nations are built and the Zionist Jews have been working this tool here in Canada and elsewhere with deftness and surgical precision for many, many decades. This thesis that immigration policies are being exploited for partisan Zionist purposes should become obvious to any reader who takes the time to study what Reed has to say about the invasion of England by the Jews of Eastern Europe, or as the Jewish media of the day was wont to call them, ‘friendly aliens’; an endearing term to describe the hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees who flooded into Great Britain during the years leading up to the second act of the World War to take advantage of the precarious political conditions then existing in the British Isles.

There is much more though in this chapter that helps to explain some of the current behaviour on the part of today’s extremist Zionist Jews who are going to great lengths to deflect the growing criticism of their doctrine of supremacist discrimination and racism that is now becoming almost rampant on the one venue for free information still not entirely controlled by their excessive and pervasive power – the Internet.

Reed explains how the Jews of his day used their “anti-Semitism” card to full effect whenever anyone challenged the government’s and the media’s blatant discrimination aimed at the English and the Arabs while all the while consistently favouring the ‘friendly alien’.

Given the fact that today, seven decades later, Canadians in the majority still haven’t grasped the fact that their “mainstream” media and their government are absolutely controlled and manipulated to suit this extremist Zionist Jew agenda, Reed’s prophetic warning of 1941 stands forth in even greater relief as a hallmark to be heeded by anyone concerned with knowing the truth about who is really pulling the strings of our Members of Parliament in Ottawa.

The parallels between Reed’s description of the behaviour of the Members of the British Parliament respecting the ‘friendly aliens’ during a period of critical danger to the nation as a whole and that of our own parliament today is as uncanny as it is frightening to contemplate. It begs the question as to whether the term “change” is in fact a reality or merely a ruse to soothe the ignorant citizenry who still are brainwashed by the Zionist Jew tube.

Read Reed and you will discover why censorship and draconian legislation like sec. 13 today are of such paramount importance to the Zionist Jews and why the extremist Zionist Jew must continually re-create this false illusion now being coined as the “new anti-Semitism” by such Zionist Jew zealots as our former federal Liberal Attorney-General Mr. Irwin Cotler and being flogged upon an unsuspecting public by the likes of B’nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress and even committees formed from our Members of Parliament.

Anyone wishing to access what remains of Reed’s works is encouraged to go to http://www.abebooks.com where you will still find a few of his works available. His most highly recommended work of course is the 1956 edition of The Controversy of Zion which readers will find online at RadicalPress.com.

AND THERE THE JEWS!
from A PROPHET AT HOME, Chapter 5
by Douglas Reed. 1941

DOUGLAS REED

A provoking thought: if Rupert Brooke, whose poetry, as Lord Halifax said in his ‘This is a conflict of youth against youth’ speech, so inspired the generation of 1914, if this Rupert Brooke had not died, with about a million other Britishers, in the 1914-1918 section of the war which has now been resumed, he would have needed to revise the poem he wrote in the Cafe des Westens, in the Kurfurstendamm in Berlin, in 1912. He wrote that poem sitting at the same table with a friend of mine, Rothay Reynolds, who in the years between the two sections of the World War struggled hard to fulfill the difficult task of being Berlin Correspondent of Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail, and when Rupert Brooke had finished he turned to Rothay Reynolds and said, ‘I have made this cafe famous’, which was true.

I well remember how that song of England wrung an Englishman’s heart, that is, the heart of a very young and fervent Englishman, who took on trust nearly everything he was told about his native country, of which he had seen but little, in the 1914-1918 war. But if Rupert Brooke had lived in 1939, or thereabouts, he would have found himself out of touch with the taste of the times. For his poem, ‘Grantchester,’ begins:

Du lieber Gott!
Here am I, sweating, sick and hot,
And there the shadowed waters fresh
Lean up to embrace the naked flesh.
Temperamentvoll German jews
Drink beer around – and there the dews…

Well, well, well. How times have changed. Rupert Brooke is dead; the war-to-end-war has gone and the war-to-continue-war is simmering nicely; but the relative position of Jews and dews seems to have been reversed, or have we now both? Rupert Brooke, the singer of the generation of 1914, seemed to find the Jews in Berlin a thought unsympathetic and none took it amiss of him that he said so; indeed, the thought of those temperamental beer-drinking Jews in Berlin helped to fortify the faith of the young Englishman of 1914 in ‘the things he was fighting for’. Now we, he thought, have dews, and we are going to keep them.

But if Rupert Brooke had written twenty-five years later he would have known that those two lines must come out, or else he would have had to find a fresh rhyme for dews, for by the time the World War in which he died was resumed no Englishman of his class and kind would have thought of writing anything which would set the critics yelping the dread name ‘anti-Semite’.

             RUPERT BROOKE - BRITISH POET

By the time the World War was resumed, indeed, the general understanding had come to be that the Jews of Berlin were the most valuable citizens of that town and that we were very lucky indeed to have them, because they were so much cleverer than ourselves. By some further process of reasoning which was a little outside my comprehension, the general understanding seemed also to be that we should fight Germany to enable these people, whom we had been fortunate enough to obtain, to return there as soon as possible; this, as far as I could gather, was among ‘the things’ we were about to fight for.

When I returned to England, on the eve of the new war which had become almost inevitable, I brought back with me a particular interest in this question, because for many years, since 1933, I had noticed, with growing misgiving, that, chiefly through the very great influence which the Jews in all countries exercised in the interest of their co-religionists, this relatively small aspect of an enormous problem was being set out of all proportion to the whole, that the entire wood was disappearing behind one tree.

(more…)

On behalf of my lovely wife Shastah and myself I want to take this moment to thank everyone who made our trip to the 24th annual George Orwell dinner in Victoria, B.C. a reality.

Travel from our relatively remote area of the province to the island is expensive and it was only due to the generosity of those who donated funds that we were able to attend this important gathering of free speech advocates from across Canada.

This was the second time that we were able to enjoy the fellowship of people on the front lines of those fighting to retain the right to speak out their truths in the face of a brutal and alarmingly dangerous force: the government of Canada and its bureaucratic agent known as the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC).

Due to time restrictions at the moment I cannot elaborate on the meeting but will do so over the next while.

[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.

[Editor’s Note: The following letter to Ms. Cohen is in response to her article of May 19th, 2009 in the National Post. (Please see bottom of this page for the url and the story.)

It’s a good start both for her and for the Zionist-controlled National Post. While there’s no good reason to be hopeful that either of them are serious about initiating any form of open debate on either Zionism or the domestic and foreign policies of the state of Israel, Ms. Cohen’s critique of the Canadian Jewish Congress and B’nai Brith Canada does cut to the quick and on the surface at least exposes the growing dichotomy that appears to exist between these pro-Zionist lobbyists and the remainder of Canada’s Jewish population. For whatever reasons  Jews like Ms. Cohen are speaking out finally and stating their dissatisfaction with the manner in which these pressure groups attempt to speak for all Jews while at the same time they use their inordinate and powerful influence to censor the rest of Canadians whose views they deem inimical to their own interests.

Ms. Cohen’s revelations regarding the Harper government’s blatant patronage toward orgs like the CJC are also quite revealing, especially I would imagine, for the majority of grassroots Conservative supporters who voted unanimously back in 2008 to rid this country of Section 13(1) of the CHR Act and strip the CHR Commission of its powers to censor free speech and the Internet.]

—————–

May 21, 2009
Dear Ms. Cohen,

I’m sure that by now you are sufficiently swamped with a backlog of responses to your challenging and impenitent critique of Canada’s foremost players in the censorship game but nonetheless I must add my comments as well.

As one non-Jewish Canadian who is being directly impacted by B’nai Brith Canada due to a Sec. 13(1) complaint launched against myself and my website http://www.radicalpress.com by this foreign lobbyist group, see http://www.radicalpress.com/?p=821 CHRC Complaint Against RadicalPress.com from Harry Abrams and B’nai Brith Canada, November 20, 2007, I can honestly say that your concerns about their methods of addressing issues of “hate” and “anti-Semitism,” etc. are both welcome and sorely needed.

For the most part I can only concur with your assessment of CJC and BBC although I would call you on one point in your article where you tend to tow the same party line as these Zionist lobbyists, that being your misunderstanding of Hamas.

Why Laura, given your purported awareness of current affairs, would you use the term “stealth normalization” to describe what very simply and honestly should be called the “open recognition” of the fact that Hamas is/was the democratically and duly elected government of the Palestinian people of Gaza?

Seeing as how internationally it is an historically recognized fact; one unfortunately which the governments of Israel, the USA, (and, deplorably) Canada have failed to come to terms with for blatant political reasons and have thus deigned to foster the erroneous deception that somehow Hamas is either of the two misconceptions which you have suggested in your article, I would think that you would acknowledge this reality and not add to the misconceptions already introduced into Canadian jurisprudence by the very forces you are attempting to correct in your fine article.

Anti-war MP George Galloway leader of the Respect party in Britain

______________________________________________________
[Editor’s Note: Thanks to Charles Tupper for sending along this amazing video of yet another Mossad/Israeli/Zionist front organization out to tell Canada’s government and the people of Canada who the hell can come here and speak on issues of concern to Canadians! WHAT A DISGUSTING PILE OF BIGOTRY AND HYPOCRISY BY MP HARPER AND THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERMENT!!!

As Michael Rivero of http://whatreallyhappened.com rightly states:

The decision to ban George Galloway from Canada seems odd, but now it emerges that the Jewish Defence League (JDL) pressured the Canadian Government to do so. The action takes on sinister connotations for Canada, why? Because the Jewish Defence League are according to the FBI a Terrorist Group. In its report, Terrorism 2000/2001, the FBI referred to the JDL as a “violent extremist Jewish organization”. This “violent extremist Jewish organization” now it seems has power and influence over the Canadian Government.

Canadians are just waking up to the fact that Israel controls their government just as much as it does the USA. And note that inevitably, the Israeli shill has to fall back on the Holocaust to try to bludgeon his way through Galloway’s arguments. The good point is watching the Israeli whore thrashing around and clearly aware that he is losing the war for legitimacy in the public eye.]

George Galloway banned from Canada

• Anti-war MP banned on grounds of national security
• ‘This idiotic ban shames Canada,’ says Galloway

By Deborah Summers and agencies

Friday 20 March 2009

George Galloway: branded the decision ‘irrational, inexplicable and an affront to Canada’s good name’.
Anti-war MP George Galloway has been banned from Canada, it emerged today.

A Canadian spokesman confirmed that the Respect MP had been deemed inadmissible on national security grounds and would not be allowed into the country.

Galloway today branded the ban “idiotic” and vowed to fight the ruling with “all means” at his disposal. He is due to give a speech in Toronto on 30 March.

Earlier today the Sun said border security officials had declared Galloway, 54, “inadmissible” because of his views on Afghanistan and the presence of Canadian troops there and would be turned away if he attempted to enter the country.

A spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said the decision had been taken by border security officials “based on a number of factors” in accordance with section 34(1) of the country’s immigration act.

The act states:

“A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on security grounds for:

(a) engaging in an act of espionage or an act of subversion against a democratic government, institution or process as they are understood in Canada;

(b) engaging in or instigating the subversion by force of any government;

(c) engaging in terrorism;

(d) being a danger to the security of Canada;

(e) engaging in acts of violence that would or might endanger the lives or safety of persons in Canada; or

(f) being a member of an organisation that there are reasonable grounds to believe engages, has engaged or will engage in acts referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c).”

Galloway, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, is consulting the organisers of his north American speaking tour and exploring whether legal action can be taken to overturn the ban.

Jason Kenney, Canada’s immigration minister, has the right to exempt people from the act if it is felt that their presence would not be “detrimental to the national interest”.

But a spokesman said Kenney would “decline to exercise that discretion” in Galloway’s case.

Alykhan Velshi, Kenney’s spokesman, said that the act was designed to protect Canadians from people who fund, support or engage in terrorism.

“We’re going to uphold the law, not give special treatment to this infamous street-corner Cromwell who actually brags about giving ‘financial support’ to Hamas, a terrorist organisation banned in Canada,” he said. “I’m sure Galloway has a large Rolodex of friends in regimes elsewhere in the world willing to roll out the red carpet for him. Canada, however, won’t be one of them.”

Responding to the news, Galloway issued a statement headed: “This idiotic ban shames Canada.”

The MP said: “This decision, gazetted in Rupert Murdoch’s Sun, is a very sad day for the Canada we have known and loved – a bastion of the freedoms that supporters of the occupation of Afghanistan claim to be defending.

“This has further vindicated the anti-war movement’s contention that unjust wars abroad will end up consuming the very liberties that make us who we are.

“This may be a rather desperate election ploy by a conservative government reaching the end of line, or by a minister who has not cottoned on to the fact that the George Bush era is over.

“All right-thinking Canadians, whether they agree with me over the wisdom of sending troops to Afghanistan or not, will oppose this outrageous decision.

“On a personal note – for a Scotsman to be barred from Canada is like being told to stay away from the family home.

“This is not something I’m prepared to accept.”

Galloway is due to speak at a public forum entitled Resisting War from Gaza to Kandahar, hosted by the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War later this month.

He is also due to speak at a second public forum in Mississauga, west of Toronto, on 31 March.

His proposed visit prompted the Jewish Defence League of Canada to write an open letter to the country’s government urging it to do “everything possible to keep this hater away”.

British MP barred from Canada

Friday, March 20, 2009 |
CBC News

[First part a repeat of article above and snipped here. Ed.]
Opposition questions ban

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, speaking to reporters after a speech in Winnipeg Friday, said while he’s no fan of Galloway, people can’t be banned from Canada for what they may say.

“If he is being barred on free speech grounds that is an outrage,” said Ignatieff. “He can come to Canada and talk rubbish all day long as far as I’m concerned.”

But Ignatieff said Canadian security officials may know something he doesn’t.

“If there is a security threat, that is another matter,” he said.

NDP immigration critic Olivia Chow said the Conservatives have a pattern of suppressing those who have contradictory views.
“The minister of immigration is becoming the minister of censorship,” Chow told Canadian Press. “We don’t have to agree with everything Mr. Galloway talks about.

“But, at bare minimum, they should be allowed to express their points of view so Canadians can make decisions themselves. This is pure censorship and it’s wrong.”

Jewish groups pleased

Jewish organizations B’nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress applauded the decision.

 B’nai Brith’s executive vice-president, Frank Dimant

________________________________________________

“We applaud the government for its explicit recognition that individuals who glorify terrorism and promote hatred be denied access into Canada,” said a statement from B’nai Brith’s executive vice-president, Frank Dimant.

Bernie Farber, CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, wrote: “George Galloway enables terrorism. In so doing he puts Canadian civilians at risk and comforts those who fight our soldiers in Afghanistan. The government’s decision was the right one from legal, security and moral viewpoints.”

Galloway was expelled from the Labour party in 2003 after publicly lashing out against British involvement in the Iraq war. Labour party officials said Galloway’s comments “incited foreign forces to rise up against British troops.”

He later helped form the anti-war Respect party.

Splitting the Sky Arrested at Bush Protest in Calgary

___________________________________________

[Editor’s Note: I received an email from Splitting the Sky’s wife Sandra Bruderer on Tuesday, March 17th informing me that he had called her at 11:44 am to say he’d been arrested by Calgary police and was in jail. As Sandra said, “He was arrested this morning in Calgary for trying to break the police line and arrest former President George Bush for war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

He told his wife that the police could hold him for up to 24 hours.

She further stated, “There are people down there trying to get him released. One of them just called me to say that they have been told that Dac has been released but they don’t know where. They don’t see him and none of us have heard from him since. So we don’t believe that he has been released. The Calgary police is saying that he has been released but he hasn’t.

Tony [Hall] just called back to say that Dac is still in jail there as someone has been in to see him. He is being held till tomorrow and is being charged with assault. Dac’s lawyer Ramsey Clark has been notified. Dac said there were lots of cameras down there and something should be on the Calgary news tonight.

Arrest Bush!!”]

Protesters greet Bush in Calgary
By THE CANADIAN PRESS

George W. Bush will discuss his eight years in the Oval Office when he visits Calgary, Alta., Tuesday

CALGARY — The rage on the man’s face was evident as he berated police officers preventing him from entering the building where former U.S. president George W. Bush was making a speech Tuesday.

“There is a war criminal upstairs that has committed murder,” screamed the man, who identified himself only as Splitting the Sky. “If I try to get in there you will arrest me. What is wrong with you?

“I am going in there and make a citizen’s arrest,” he said as he attempt to push past police. “Arrest George Bush. Arrest George Bush.”

A few minutes later he was handcuffed and hustled past a long line of Calgary’s business elite waiting to get inside the Telus Convention Centre.

An unflattering photo of Splitting the Sky attempting to break through police lines outside the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary Tuesday March 17th to make a citizens arrest of War Criminal George W. Bush. He was arrested soon after.

__________________________________________________________________________
Protest organizers say at least four demonstrators were arrested at Tuesday’s event.

About 60 Calgary police officers were on duty outside to control between 200 and 300 people carrying signs that read “No to U.S. Crimes Against Humanity,” “Indict Bush For War Crimes” and “Canada Is Not Bush Country.”

Another sign read “Shoe Him The Door” — a reference to the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoe at Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in December.

Two Calgary men showed up at the demonstration to support the former U.S. president. Their signs read “The World Is Safer Because of George W. Bush.”

“Thank you, George Bush. Thank you, George Bush,” they chanted.

“He doesn’t sit down and negotiate with terrorists,” shouted one of the men, who identified himself as Merle.

“Try doing this in Cuba,” he said as he pointed to the jeering protesters.

There were shoes everywhere during the protest. A young woman wearing a hood, orange jumpsuit and a name tag that said “Club Gitmo” was pulling a shoe cannon along with a target festooned with pictures of Bush.

An obviously amused police officer told her to leave.

Some of those opposed to Bush’s visit have said he should be arrested as a war criminal because of alleged torture at military prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

_____________________________________________________
Tuesday’s speech was one of the first public appearances Bush has made since leaving the presidency in January with a dismal approval rating and much of the blame for his country’s collapsing economy. The speech was closed to the media.

“It’s not too late to turn back. Walk away,” the demonstrators yelled to some of the 1,500 guests invited to hear Bush speak to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

A couple of hundred people lined up early to go through a special security screening room before entering the hall where Bush was speaking.

A few said the former president has to take some of the responsibility for what has happened in the United States, but also has the right to talk about his administration.

Protesters greet George Bush in Calgary

Tue. Mar. 17 2009 8:08 PM ET

The Canadian Press

CALGARY – George W. Bush wooed a packed crowd at a private luncheon in Calgary with his trademark folksy charm, while hundreds of protesters outside hurled insults and shoes at the former U.S. president’s image.

ambassador to the United States Frank McKenna at an invitation-only event

______________________________________________________
Four demonstrators were arrested outside the downtown Calgary convention centre where Bush spoke for one of the first times since leaving office in January. At the time, he had a dismal approval rating and was blamed for his country’s collapsing economy.

“There is a war criminal upstairs that has committed murder,” screamed one man, who identified himself only as Splits the Sky. “If I try to get in there you will arrest me. What is wrong with you?”

Bush’s affable public persona, subdued by widespread criticism of his administration near the end of his time as president, was front and centre as he explained his eight years in the Oval Office.

In his 35-minute speech, he drew ties between his childhood in rural Texas and life in rural Alberta, including the common binds of community and family.

Bush poked fun at himself, but also grew serious when talking about Canada’s role in providing the U.S. with a secure source of energy.

He also admitted his administration spent its final days “bailing water” trying to deal with the financial crisis, and said while there’s no easy answer going forward, more government involvement is not the solution.

The event was closed to the media, but many of the 1,500 people who paid $400 a ticket to hear Bush speak stopped to offer their impressions. Few seemed annoyed by the fact the event started an hour and a half late due to tight security screening.

“He was very, very candid. He was witty and witty in a way that you would have to be intelligent to be that witty,” said Calgary Tory MP Lee Richardson.

“He seemed to have a remarkable grasp of events and issues that just didn’t come through as president.”

Brenda Kenny, president of the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, said Bush emphasized the interconnected, open markets that tie Canada and the U.S. together.

Peter Yates, a lawyer who has dual citizenship and voted against Bush in 2004, admitted the former president is very personable and gave an entertaining speech.

“My feelings are still the same — he’s a folksy affable guy but I don’t agree with his policies.”

Most of the 400 protesters waiting outside showed their negative feelings for Bush.

Some of those opposed to Bush’s visit have suggested he should be arrested as a war criminal because of alleged torture at military prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. Many yelled at police officers for not arresting Bush on the spot.

Signs read “No to U.S. Crimes Against Humanity,” “Indict Bush For War Crimes” and “Canada Is Not Bush Country, as well as “Shoe Him The Door” — a reference to the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoe at Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in December.

A Protest sign that should have read: “Go To Jail Bush!!!”

___________________________________________________________
Two men showed up to support Bush, however. Their signs read “The World Is Safer Because of George W. Bush.”

“Thank you, George Bush. Thank you, George Bush,” they chanted.

The former president’s speech almost exactly marks six years since the invasion of Iraq, said organizer Peggy Askin, and it’s not OK to forget what happened in the ensuing years.

“He shouldn’t be able to go anywhere in the world and just present himself as a private citizen,” she said. “We do not have any use for bringing war criminals into this country. It’s an affront.”

One businessman in the audience said Bush implied he had some regrets from his time in office, although he didn’t give specifics.

“He admitted that maybe there were some things he could have done differently, but overall he made some sense with the reasons for doing it,” said George Fink, CEO of Bonterra Oil and Gas.

The 43rd president of the United States defended his reasons for military action in Iraq and Afghanistan, Fink said.

“He said if we were in his boots in 9-11, a short time after he got in, there was a big demand to do something, and he had to react and he reacted.”

Kenny said Bush seemed eager to explain his views, and he said he plans to write a book to show what happened during eight very challenging years.

“I wouldn’t say apologetic, I would say acknowledging that there was not always agreement and, frankly, just accepting that as a fact.”

The Globe and Mail reported on its website that besides defending his decision to invade Iraq, Bush said “risk takers,” not government, will solve the world recession and that he had positive things to say about current president Barack Obama.

“I love my country more than politics,” Bush said.

“He deserves my silence and if he wants my help he can pick up the phone and call me.”

On the economy, Bush even though he is a “free market guy,” he had to step in with a bail-out package in the waning days of his administration.

But he said the government can’t do it alone.

“It’s the risk takers, not the government, that is going to pull us out of this recession,” he said.

In a question and answer session, Bush defended the invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

“The world is better off and the Iraqi people are better off without Saddam, no ifs, ands or buts,” he said.

There were shoes everywhere during the protest. A young woman wearing a hood, orange jumpsuit and a name tag that said “Club Gitmo” was pulling a shoe cannon along with a target festooned with pictures of Bush.

Protesters flung projectile footwear from the device at the massive photo of a smiling Bush, while others jeered and tossed sandals and boots by hand.

One of the arrested protesters was ticketed and released, said police. Three others were charged with more serious offences — one with breach of the peace and two with obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest.

Seventy-nine police officers were involved, but that included traffic members who closed off intersections for the president’s motorcade.

Dear Nancy Lafontant,

RE: File Number: T1360/9008

The complaint case by the Canadian Human Rights Commission involving Arthur Topham and his website RadicalPress.com and Harry Abrams and the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada is one in which I take a serious interest.

As a person who believes very strongly in the fundamental right of ALL Canadians to be able to express their opinions and views without fear of legal repercussions I wish to register my dissatisfaction with the fact that special lobby groups in Canada are attempting to use the Canadian Human Rights Act and Sec. 13(1) to stop their fellow Canadians from expressing their opinions and beliefs on matters of importance to Canada.

I strongly feel that a person’s right to speak their mind in an open, civil and truthful manner on political, social and religious issues of the day is crucial to an understanding of how our society and the world at large works and that a person’s viewpoint should not be censored merely because it disagrees with either the status quo or the position of another interest group with differing political views.

Judging from how this Sec. 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act has been used to unfairly penalize free expression in Canada I believe that this legislation should be removed from the CHR Act and that issue of “hate crimes” should be dealt with as in the Criminal Code of Canada where a person thus charged has the right to a fair trial in a court of law with either a Judge or a Judge and Jury.

Thank you,

Your name and address and email

CHRC: Abrams v Radical Press – Foreign Lobbyists

By Fourhorses

four_horses@warpmail.net

February 13th, 2009

In one of the correspondences from Arthur Topham, Publisher/Editor of the Radical Press, to Nancy Lafontant and Gregory M. Smith, Registrars at the CHRC, Topham raises the thought that Harry Abrams (complainant) is an agent for Israel’s Mossad. I think this is rather far fetched, especially after reading that Abrams is a business man in Victoria, who specializes in elevator advertising media. I haven’t seen any of his adverts in any elevators, so unless the Mossad is engaged in subliminal messaging to elevator guests, I would tend to heavily discount this theory.

This does raise a different issue, though. Part of the complaint claim is that the material Topham published at the Radical Press is likely to cause hatred towards Citizens of Israel. A poster on FD raised the question a while back as to what status does the State of Israel or its citizens have in Canadian judicial processes. That’s a very good question. It is not only the State of Israel, that is in question, but a bigger question pertaining to any foreign government. I understand there are diplomatic channels, procedures and protocols, and these are conducted through Foreign Affairs Canada and its diplomatic staff.

But what of this case?

There seem to be two complainants; Harry Abrams and B’nai Brith. How can they be complainants on behalf of Israeli citizens, which is the State of Israel? Are they registered lobbyists for a foreign government ?

[Editor’s Note: Today, February 13, 2009 marks the 64th Anniversary of what in reality is the greatest example of an actual “Holocaust” by fire to have ever been committed by humans against their fellow humans. It will stand forever as the most singular war crime of the 20th Century, yet to be exposed and addressed by humanity. It also stands, as I firmly believe now, as one of the best examples for why the Zionist Jews have used their media power and influence since that day to create the supposed “6 Million” “Jewish Holocaust” which the world now ignorantly believes to have happened and which serves to divert attention from the example of Dresden, one in which the Zionists played a crucial role in fomenting.]

Dresden - A Real Holocaust
& Act Of Terrorism
From 2-14-4
http://www.rense.com/general49/dres.htm
2-12-9

Once again we pause to remember…

Fifty-nine years ago, on the evening of February 13, 1945, an orgy of genocide and barbarism began against a defenseless German city, one of the greatest cultural centers of northern Europe. Within less than 14 hours, not only was it reduced to flaming ruins, but an estimated one-third of its inhabitants–possibly as many as half a million–had perished in what was the worst massacre of all time. As Americans continue to bemoan the loss of fewer than 3,000 at Larry Silverstein’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon as they themselves prepare to slaughter many times that number in an act of unprovoked aggression in Iraq, few know–less care–about the campaign of cold-blooded TERRORISM conducted against German civilians during World War II, culminating in the extermination of well over 300,000. The following account, taken from the Feb. 1985 issue of the NS Bulletin, tells us what a REAL holocaust is like.

Toward the end of World War II, as Allied planes rained death and destruction over Germany, the old Saxon city of Dresden lay like an island of tranquility amid desolation. Famous as a cultural center and possessing no military value, Dresden had been spared the terror that descended from the skies over the rest of the country.

In fact, little had been done to provide the ancient city of artists and craftsmen with anti-aircraft defenses. One squadron of planes had been stationed in Dresden for awhile, but the Luftwaffe decided to move the aircraft to another area where they would be of use. A gentlemen’s agreement seemed to prevail, designating Dresden an “open city.”

On Shrove Tuesday, February 13, 1945, a flood of refugees fleeing the Red Army 60 miles away had swollen the city’s population to well over a million. Each new refugee brought fearful accounts of Soviet atrocities. Little did those refugees retreating from the Red terror imagine that they were about to die in a horror worse than anything Stalin could devise.

Conspiring with the Commissars: RadicalPress.com teleconference #1 for Feb. 6, 2009

By Arthur Topham
Publisher & Editor
RadicalPress.com

February 11, 2009

“Have a nice night. The dawn will be a long time coming.”
-Doug Collins, from his North Shore News column
of Jan. 12, 1997, “A Bigger and Better Big Brother”.

Teleconferencing is a new experience for me. Never having been a member of any bureaucratic organization of government (other than a professional school teacher for a number of years) the opportunity just never arose before – at least not until Harry Abrams and the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada decided to add me to their hit list of alleged purveyors of hate literature which resulted in a complaint being filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission – one that I first became aware of back on November 20th, 2007 after receiving a copy of the complaint in an unmarked, unregistered envelope in my rural mailbox.

Fourteen months later I find myself dialing the toll-free number 1-866-646-2080 at five minutes to eleven am PST. The call to Ottawa’s Star Chamber head office, officially known as the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, was conveniently set for 2 pm EST. Like most things political in Canada it seems that Ontario is the center of the universe and satellites such as B.C. must beam their signals eastward to be acknowledged and dealt with.

But then Harry Abrams, who resides in B.C. (in Victoria) also had to be up and about and ready to rock and roll by 11 am so from that angle we were both in the same leaky boat.

Those “In Attendance” for the discussions were the following:

Karen Jensen, Tribunal Member
Harry Abrams, Complainant
Anita Bromberg, Representative for League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith* [Canada]
Daniel Poulin, Canadian Human Rights Commission Counsel
Arthur Topham, Respondent
Nancy Lafontant, Registry Officer

Harry’s and BB’s lawyer apparently was also scheduled to attend but didn’t show up.

Karen Jensen chaired the discussions and informed listeners that this would be the first case management plan “of about three” on the matter in order to get ready for the upcoming hearing. To prepare for the blessed event it would be necessary to plow through a number of pre-arranged protocols which included:

1  Finding out if either parties would have legal representation.

2  What language would be used.

3  Identification of any preliminary matters.

4  Disclosure of documents, etc. including dates for the filing of parties’ Statements of Particulars, witness disclosure, documentary disclosure and expert reports.

5  The possibility of an Agreed Statement of Facts (that one brought a chuckle to my mind as it likely did to Harry’s).

6  The proposed venue for the hearing.

7  Other matters/special needs.

8  And finally scheduling the next conference call.

Much of it all was mundane. Kind of like sitting through a tutorial at the end of a long day of summer classes listening to the droning voice of the instructor outlining the various phases of  the next essay due on a particular date. But, thanks to fate and Harry and others, some of it was mildly amusing and in an odd sort of way instructive. Hopefully others can learn from what I’m going to report here.

Ever since this “Human Rights” charade, masquerading as some form of “justice” for minorities – particularly those of Zionist Jewish persuasion here in Canada – caught me up in its web of intrigue and entrapment, I’ve thought a lot about this fellow Harry Abrams, wondered, intensely at times, just how the wheels and gears moved inside his head. Part of that process included considering the sound of his voice. You see Harry and I have had little contact other than when he slithered rather surreptitiously out of cyberspace and onto my  computer screen back on February 12th of 2007 hiding his true identity then behind the alias now known as “Brian Esker”.

Now, almost to the day, I finally heard Harry’s voice in real time. I had expected it to be somewhat deep and coarse and sharp and abrupt, kinda like the terse little emails he’d sent me for a Valentine’s Day present in 2007 demanding that I remove articles from my website that he found “offensive” to his literary tastes.

As Harry put it then, “I am writing to notify you of unacceptably racist material posted on your website at radicalpress.com,” See http://www.radicalpress.com/?p=380

He was referring to an article that I had posted titled, “Trapping Wiesel’s and Other Rodents”. It was by another writer about the famous holocaust propagandist Elie Wiesel but the title was mine. You know, the fellow some people refer to as the “Pope of the Holocaust Religion”; one of the countless “Holocaust Survivors”, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and most recently, “Knight of the British Empire” who my recently acquired mentor Doug Collins aptly described in one of his columns, “History and Jack in the Beanstalk” back in December of 1988.

I don’t think this is the Left Vs. Left, HRC showdown ya’ll have been waiting for here. The Radical Press seems like an openly anti-semitic, holocaust-denying website. Whatever you think about leftists, most of them would probably disassociate themselves from that place.

You don’t see leftists rallying around Ernst Zundel do you?

When Truth Becomes “Anti-Semitic”: What World Famous People Say About Jews and Zionism

Introduction by Arthur Topham
http://www.RadicalPress.com

radical@radicalpress.com
January 13, 2009

In a recent screed of January 10, 2009 (The ‘Oldest Hatred’ Lives, from Gaza to Florida http://www.ocregister.com/articles/hamas-gaza-jewish-2277487-muslims-state ) outlining a list of relatively minor examples of anti-Jewish sentiment resulting from Israel’s current butchery of the defenseless Palestinians of Gaza, Canadian journalist Mark Steyn, one of Zionism’s key literary brokers for North America’s Jewish-owned media cartel, attempts to lay the blame for the growing public outrage on the doorstep of Palestine’s democratically elected government Hamas along with other Islamic extremists, Muslims and anyone, anywhere expressing “anti-Zionist” sentiments.

After listing off his abbreviated litany of “anti-Semitic” attacks upon various Jewish individuals and groups he writes, “Forget, for the moment, Gaza. Forget that the Palestinian people are the most comprehensively wrecked people on the face of the earth. For the past sixty years they have been entrusted to the care of the United Nations, the Arab League, the PLO, Hamas and the “global community” — and the results are pretty much what you’d expect” all the while conveniently leaving out of his deceptively narrative description the blatant historic fact that it was the newly-formed Israeli government itself who, via mendacity and sheer ill-will and bloody terror, drove the legal inhabitants of Palestine out of their homes and villages and into that hideous concentration camp we now know as Gaza.

This simplistic and transparent ploy by Steyn to high jack the legitimate concerns of people around the world via jingoist sophistry and twisted argument in favour of the worn canard of “anti-Semitism” falls flat in the face of an abundance of gross images of mutilated, dead and dying Palestinian children, women and elderly, yet this doesn’t deter him in his vainglorious denial of the truth from continuing to ride his blood-steyned steed further into the fray of unabashed Zionist media propaganda, thrashing about with his sword of lies and brandishing his bullet-ridden “anti-Semite” banner – one flapping madly about in the righteous winds of vehement feelings of horror expressed by decent people around the planet incensed and ashamed that such despicable acts of cruel and wanton bloodshed could still be committed against the human family at the beginning of the 21 Century.

But let’s, as Steyn says, “forget Gaza” “and instead ponder the reaction to Gaza in Scandinavia, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and golly, even Florida. As the delegitimization of Israel has metastasized, we are assured that criticism of the Jewish state is not the same as anti-Semitism. We are further assured that anti-Zionism is not the same as anti-Semitism, which is a wee bit more of a stretch. Only Israel attracts an intellectually respectable movement querying its very existence.”

In a token of submission to the Zionist god of cunning and perfidy Steyn tries comparing Israel with the state of Pakistan as part of recent political machinations and Mossad false flag operations by the Zionist-controlled US government to vilify Pakistan before eventually attacking it as yet another rogue, “terrorist” state. Of Pakistan, and with obvious intent to deflect attention from Israel, Steyn sardonically states, “I happen to think the creation of Pakistan was the greatest failure of post-war British imperial policy.”

Steyn’s culminating and rather crass attempt to convince his western readers that all who reject Zionism are in fact Jew-hating bigots, hypocrites and “anti-Semites” is eventually steeped in a feeble flourish of anti-Muslim artistry, punctuated with an excerpt from the Syrian poet, Nizar Qabbani, suggesting that the people of Gaza are all “mad”. And why are they mad? Why because, as Steyn so lucidly tells us, they exhibit “the enthusiastic adoption of the same pathologies” that mainstream Europe is now expressing in their “anti-Semitic” attacks but of course the Palestinians are even “more deranged — and in the end” their resistance to the phosphorus bombs and DU bullets of Israeli justice “will prove just as self-destructive.”

Such is the ethereal substance of the Zionist media’s #1 propaganda broker Mark Steyn. If you don’t approve of the butcher’s banquet that Israel and its pro-Zionist supporters around the world are feasting upon then by definition you are “anti-Semitic” and a Jew-hater.

Which brings me now to the list of world famous people, who by Steyn’s and Zionism’s definition, fit the description of “anti-Semite”. It was one of these people listed, H.H. Beamish who, in a New York address in October 1937 made the following observation:

“In 1848 the word “anti-Semitic” was invented by the Jews to prevent the use of the word “Jew.” The right word for them is “Jew” …”

Like gemstones and special treats of food I would guess that almost everybody loves reading quotes. The ones that follow are the most comprehensive list related to the issue of “anti-Semitism” that I am aware of. They are offered here to the internet community as one small token of respect for the inhumane suffering of the Palestinian people of all of Palestine and the Arab world in general. They are also dedicated to those brave truth-seeking men and women who now languish in German prisons because they had the fortitude, the fore-knowledge and the courage to question the Zionist Lie. God bless and keep them all safe from any further harm.

If readers of these quotes feel they are being wrongly accused by the likes of Mark Steyn and the Zionist warlords I am certain that by the time they complete reading them they will not feel alone in their gut reaction to what is going on in Gaza today.

An Open Letter to Canadian Progressives RE: Israel, Gaza

by Anachore

January 9, 2009
anarchore@yahoo.ca
Dear Progressives,

You condemn Israel’s atrocities and Canada’s government for supporting it, but you don’t question why Canada has become so unflinchingly pro-Israel in recent years.

How could Israel receive such preferential treatment in the face of this? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/13/gaza-israel-war-crimes

Canadian Progressives seem to be slowly dawning on the fact that it was the Israel Lobby in the US that paved the way for war in Iraq.

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html

The power of the Lobby in the USA comes from financing congressmen’s elections, and ubiquitous mainstream media dominance by Zionists.

http://littlealexinwonderland.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/us-house-overwhelmingly-passes

The result was that the media did not question Bush on the Iraq war until it was much too late, just as they are doing with Iran, and the Palestinian ‘terrorists’.

What about the control of Canada?

Media Control in Canada

In Canada, Zionist Asper’s property CanWest owns the National Post and 10 daily newspapers in Canada, as well as numerous local papers and Global TV.

The CBC was until recently run by the former CEO of the execrable Canadian Jewish Congress, Robert Rabbinovitch. He made sure that any mention of the Palestinian resistance is as militants, or terrorists. Also, there are now heartwarming Holocaust stories at least once a day on CBC radio. We have to be trained who to sympathize with.

CTVGlobemedia is also part of the Israel Lobby. The Globe and Mail runs pro-Israel columns daily. CTV is incredibly biased for the Israeli side as well.

http://www.gregfelton.com/media/2006_03_02.htm

Lobby Groups

Aside from the Israel-shilling of Zionist-owned media in Canada, there are powerful Jewish Zionist groups set up with the  purpose of influencing Canada’s government to support this foreign state. Here are some of the most influential:

Canadian Jewish Congress - got a Liberal candidate booted for being critical of Israel

CJPAC - Canada’s AIPAC

Bnai B’rith -is behind hatecrime laws that criminalize criticism of Zionism

CIJA - Lobby group started by Asper

Israel Allies Caucus - In Parliament, with secrecy covering their activities

This article which came out when Baghdad was being “shocked and awed” by foreign, imperialist aggressors deserves revisiting after 41/2 years of ongoing slaughter and aggression by U.S. military forces and their British and Australian lackeys. Feedback, as usual, is appreciated. Ed.

[(Original note of Mar. 27th, 2003) Editor’s Note: With the onset of war many within the Peace Movement are frantically seeking ways in which to stop the US-sponsored aggression. There is at the same time an overwhelming push by the US administration and its allies to draw the rest of the world into its illegal hostilities. That purpose is obvious. It’s meant to legitimize a heinous act that has no reasonable or moral basis. Bush’s Big Brother media conglomerate is now in full swing delivering around the clock propaganda into the collective mind of the general public while at the same time covertly attempting to undermine the world wide web so that alternative perspectives to the US agenda are censored as we just saw in the recent hacking of the Al-Jaseera website in the middle east. We are facing an immediate global crisis that’s been in the making for decades. The following article is one attempt to try and give a general overview of why we’re where we’re at and what needs to be done in order to end the misery and the killing once and for all. It is not intended as a spoof. It is a serious critique not only of one activist’s search for understanding but of the Peace Movement in general and the the imminent battle looming on Earth’s horizon; one that will affect us all and therefore one which it behooves all freedom-loving people to consider. It’s my hope that you will read it and weigh carefully the proposal it contains. Any serious criticism and further insights are most welcome. Those who are in the business of publishing have full rights to reprint it so long as it is carried in total and credit is given. Thank you. In Peace & Solidarity.]

I knew of course it was coming. It was just a matter of time. A foregone conclusion so to speak. The clarity of the US’s intent had been indelibly outlined in graphic detail throughout the tumultuous sixties. The Vietnam war had exposed to the eyes and nose of the global public not only the dirty dealings of the US military but also the stench of collusion and cover-up that rose high above the White House and the office of the Presidency. In fact all that’s taken place since then has been but an embellishment of the original US plan for world hegemony. So now, when the American-led forces of imperialism made their Mephistophelian choice and struck Iraq preemptively rather than adhere to international law, I knew our world, at that precise moment, was historically and psychically altered forever.

Illusions tend to stick to us, as Lenny Bruce once said, like “snot to a suede jacket”. And they’re not easily removed. And in this case the illusion that the US administration would somehow come to its senses rather than use its might to try and legitimize something obviously not morally or legally supportable was the one I had stubbornly clung to. So when President George W. Bush set this historic act of supreme aggression in motion it was as if the last veil suddenly had fallen from my eyes, leaving me, for a brief moment, awe struck at the realization that my deepest and most sacred principles regarding human co-existence were now shattered!

I sat before my computer numbed, yet reflective, like some Nietzschean Zarathustra who, when he heard the old saint in the woods say to him, “With singing, weeping, laughing, and muttering I praise the God who is my God.” remarked to himself, “Could it be possible!This old saint has not yet heard in his forest that God is dead!”
And now?
