ALL ALONE ON THE RIGHTS GRIDDLE
By Doug Collins

[Editor's Note: I was reflecting on this piece Sunday morning as I read it through. Here was a man of singular honesty, forthright and filled with courage at the age of 77, writing in defense of his sincere belief in the value of freedom of thought and expression. A man who had, at the age of 19, joined in fighting a war that he felt would keep the world free of the sorts of traitorous acts which, 58 years later, would return to haunt him and his work as a Canadian journalist (not to mention the rest of us free speech lovers).

That of course brought to mind Harry Abrams and the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada who were attacking everything that Collins had fought for (including escaping 11 times from Germany prisoner-of-war camps before the age of 25!) all of which was cause for rumination on my part and the recognition that in today's world how cheap and taudry have become the old principles of respect for and admiration of our elders especially those who sacrificed so damn much in order that we Canadians of today would have the freedom to express our thoughts and ideas without fear of repression and harassment and imprisonment and fines.

The idea of this relatively young, baby-boomer Abrams and his co-conspirator the B'nai Brith, doing their damnedest to destroy the credibility and integrity of one of Canada's true heroes I found to be exceedingly repulsive and contemptible.

My own Dad, born in 1918 only two years before Doug Collins and a man who also fought in WW2 against the supposed “fascists", had he the requisite literary skills that Doug did, would likely have taken the same position of Collins on these very issues that Abrams and his pro-Zionist org B'nai Brith Canada are hell-bent on imposing upon the Canadian legal and political environment. When I look at Doug's picture I also see my Father and become that much more incensed at the thought of what these anti-democratic, ungrateful and miserable, misinformed misanthropes are attempting to do to the most cherished of human values.

And for what I'm forced to ask? So that they can prevent Canadians from weighing the facts both pro and con as per the endless propaganda that's been literally forced upon the minds of Canadians for decade upon decade? Hardly a justification for making critical analysis a crime.

Now these censors are not only unhappy with preventing “hatred toward Jews" in Canada. In addition to such a totalitarian/Bolshevik notion they also want to stop Canadians from extending any critical analysis to the foreign nation of Israel as well. How quaint. What next? No criticism of the Harper Conservatives or the Ignaiff (Jewish) Liberals or the Layton NDP or the May Greens because they all happen to be in the same bed with the Jewish Lobbyists like the CJC and the B'nai Brith and so in their orgies of appreciation for this racist, apartheid state and their blatant prostrations before their Zionist idol of innocence and endless persecution any protest of a frank and critical nature against them must also not be allowed to enter into the slipstream of Canadian thought? That, I propose, is the intent of this latest attack upon myself and RadicalPress.com. They're out to set a new precedent in duplicious cowery, one that I could, and would, and will state is on par with Israel's latest precedent-setting example of humanitarianism respecting their recent slaughter of the innocent Palestinian people of Gaza.

We must NEVER forget men like Doug Collins and what they spent their lives fighting for: the Free Will and God-given Right of every human being to express their deepest ideas and concerns without fear or threat or intimidation by others.]

ALL ALONE ON THE RIGHTS GRIDDLE
By Doug Collins
July 20, 1997

from the North Shore News

North Vancouver, B.C.

Your man Doug is in trouble for saying that the “holocaust” six million story is nonsense, that the biggest influence in Hollywood is the Jewish influence, and that the whole thing has become a business.

Which latter point was emphasized some time ago by the Chief Rabbi in the U.K. As they say in Israel, “There’s no business like Shoah (holocaust) business.”

So while we await the verdict of the Great Heresy Trial, [the one involving Harry Abrams and B'nai Brith Canada. A.T.] I want to ask a question. If the Commissars of Right-think don’t mind, that is. Or even if they do mind.

It is this: how come that I am the only one on the griddle?

A chap called Michael Enright shot his mouth off a couple of months back.

Enright, successor to Peter Gzowski on the ever-holy – and blessed by liberals - CBC Morningside, declared that next to the Mafia, the Roman Catholic Church was the biggest criminal organization around.

There were a couple of squeeks of surprise. But no witch hunt. Little old Michael was in safe hands.

Allan Fotheringham didn’t call him a monster.

The Sun’s Vaughn Palmer didn’t call him contemptible.

Writer David Mitchell didn’t call him anti-Catholic. Which, of course, is by no means as moral a sin as being “anti-Semitic”.

Nobody complained to the Ontario Human Rights Commission about Enright, either. But what do you think would have happened if I had said that those of the Jewish faith were the biggest bunch of crooks outside of the Mafia?

The sky would have fallen. It would have been a case for criminal prosecution under the hate laws. I would have been sued. And burned at the stake.

Take a look around you.

In Alberta a couple of years ago a small magazine publisher was roasted for complaining that the Hollywood film, The Last Temptation of Christ, was anti-Christian and blasphemous.

Jewish groups cried havoc. Supermarkets refused to carry the magazine. And the publisher went out of business.

But what’s this?

Here we have an American rabbi, Yechiel Eckstein, accusing Hollywood of “a very real and pervasive anti-Christian bias.”

A story to that effect was carried on the Ecumenical News International wire.

The rabbi belongs to the the Orthodox branch of the Jewish faith and is quoted as saying that in order to rectify the situation, Christians should put pressure on the film industry in the same way as pressure has been put on American tobacco firms.

Writing in the North Jersey Jewish Standard he said that Hollywood had gone out of its way to portray evangelical Protestants and devout Roman Catholics in the worst possible light.

“The cherished symbols of their faith are put to blasphemous use,” he declared.

“If there is a Christian character in a film, he is usually depicted as a fool, a liar, a cheat, a diabolical murderer, or a crazy person. And if such images are allowed to accumulate without a response they could prove detrimental to faith and to Christianity.”

I pointed out years ago that you never saw a movie out of Hollywood that featured a bad Jew. For Hollywood, there aren’t any bad Jews.

Not to mention that Christianity, thanks mainly to “minority” pressures, has become a no-no in our schools and that the Christian cross cannot be shown in some public places.

As for the rabbi, I guess it would be OK for him to say these thing even if they had human rights tribunals in the U.S., which they do not. Comment is protected by the First Amendment so he could not be dragged before one.

There’s something else. In many movies WASPS generally are depicted as being sinister.

You might think they were all members of the KKK. Mississipi Burning was such a film.

If you ask me, and I know you haven’t asked me, my comments were like kid’s pap compared with what some other people have said.

I guess it all depends on who your friends are. And what is “right” and what is “wrong” in the halls of political correctness.
