The West's Cult Of Human Sacrifice

Who is a Jew?

Bad news from Britain.

In an explosive decision, the court concluded that basing school admissions on a classic test of Judaism — whether one’s mother is Jewish — was by definition discriminatory. Whether the rationale was “benign or malignant, theological or supremacist,” the court wrote, “makes it no less and no more unlawful.”

Jennifer Leech Lynch has filed her expenses...

Jennifer Leech Lynch the terminally PR challenged Chief Kommissar of the Canadian Human Rights Commission spent 8 Thousand Dollars of your money on a jaunt to Ireland to complain that Canadian Citizens are mean to her. Funny that, I mean shouldn't we ignorant proles enjoy being told what to think by a pompous, arrogant, unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat who runs a demonstrably corrupt commission & spends our money like it's her own? I mean who do we think are? Citizens defending our rights or something? Sheesh.

Toronto's Middle East Proxy War

Tarek Fatah from the article Toronto's Middle East Proxy War by Michael Posner in todays Globe.

"These Jews are very decent people, but they're naive. They're simply not aware that contemporary Islam has been taken over by a death-cult ideology." Well-intentioned bagel-and-samosa mixers are what he called a complete fraud. "On the Islamicist side, the language is deceptive and the manipulation is mind-boggling."
...
Presciently the article goes on to note:

..."So what lies ahead? Both Mr. Gissin and local Jewish leaders can read the demographic charts. Unless rebranding or something like it works, the higher Muslim birth and immigration rates may eventually guarantee a public-relations win."

....

The consequences of the Jewish communities ongoing demographic decline will be far greater than a mere PR victory for the Islamists. What's at stake is that the victors will gain the use of Section 13 (1) as a political bludgeon. History has a way of repeating itself and as George Jonas has written:

"The Nazis would have been just as repressive without this excuse, but being able to offer it made Hitler's task easier. Like Canadian supporters of hate-speech legislation, supporters of the Weimar Republic thought that their groups and causes would occupy all seats of authority and set all social and legal agendas forever. Shades of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association or the Canadian Jewish Congress! They couldn't envisage the guns of their own laws being turned around to point at them one day."

The battle to control Section 13 (1) is just one more front in this same proxy war. Both sides in the Middle East conflict as represented by the Canadian Islamic Congress on the one hand and B'nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress on the other hope to manipulate our thought crime law to further their respective political agendas. These warring factions represent virtually the entirety of support for Section 13 (1) with each side in the middle east proxy war endeavoring to use the Canadian Human Rights Commission as a political weapon to the detriment of us all.

I understand the misguided belief, held by a segment of the Jewish community, that it needs to fight on this front, however it must be pointed out in no uncertain terms that a successful effort to preserve Section 13 (1) will prove a Pyrrhic Victory.

If the Fort Hood killer had been Christian . . .

Canadian Teachers' Federation Sponsors Cair-Canada Connected "Instructional" Film Discussion

London Free Press- Arabs' role in film debated tonight

"Sponsored in part by the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF),...At the Central library tonight, the public is invited to view Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People....The film is based on a book by the same name, written by media critic Jack Shaheen. It explores American cinematic culture and reveals a pattern of Arab stereotyping in film. Shaheen watched more than 1,000 movies that included Arabs and he found that only about 7% could be considered positive or non-offensive to Arabs

The film will be followed by a panel discussion.

Kane X. Faucher, a professor in Western's Faculty of Information and Media Studies, Wael Haddara, a board member of the Muslim Association of Canada, as well as teacher Ghada Turk, who works at the Al-Taqwa Islamic School in London, are the panelists."
....
That panel, where have I seen that name...Wael Haddara, oh yes Wael sits on the Advisory Board of Cair-Canada.

And get a load of Kane X - "Both his literary and academic practice focuses on the effects of metastasis and flux. He is currently exploring the possibility of Nietzschean semiosis, decomposition poetics, metaphysics of metastasis, and rhizomedia. These cardinal points are reflected in his commitment to an pluridisciplinary approach as an open method for understanding the phenomena of fluctuation and difference from a variety of perspectives." WTF?
...
That oughta be some discussion;) For a review of Reel Bad Arabs see Reason.com's piece Unreel Claims

"To get a measure of how indifferent he can be to standard filmic attractions, consider this piece of advice for viewers of the Dyanne Thorne BDSM classic Ilsa: Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheikhs: "A suggestion: Fast-forward through explicit frames not related to Arab images."

Debunking the CJC's Legal Champion Alexander "Specious" Tsesis

The Canadian Jewish Congress has just published a disingenous justification for Section 13 (1), I wrote about that here yesterday. Of particular note is their continued reliance on the flawed work of an obscure lawyer, Alexander Tsesis to justify 13 (1). Tsesis' unsound reasoning thankfully contributed to the failed Justice Department effort to derail the Section 13 (1) Constitutional Challenge. In response to the CJC's continued effort to misinform the public I am republishing in part a post I wrote in May of 2008 in which Professor Anuj Desai debunks the work of the CJC's erstwhile legal champion "Specious Tsesis".
...

I highly recommend you read Professor Desai's criticism of Alexander Tsesis, "Attacking Brandenburg" posted in pdf format below.

Professor Desai authored Attacking Brandenburg with History:Does the Long-Term Harm of Biased Speech Justify a Criminal Statute Suppressing It?

It is a criticism of the theory presented by Alexander Tsesis in his book: How Hate Speech Paves the Way for Harmful Social Movements. Tsesis work has been cited as a justification for Section 13 (1) in the legal brief prepared by the Department of Justice that attempts to dismiss the pending Section 13 (1) court challenge.

Abstract:

Racist speech has long been the subject of significant controversy in First Amendment jurisprudence and scholarly commentary. In a recent book, Alexander Tsesis argues that, when systematically developed over long periods of time, "hate speech" lays the foundation for harmful social movements that ultimately result in the oppression and persecution of "outgroups." From this premise, Tsesis argues that the United States Supreme Court should overrule Brandenburg v. Ohio, the case in which the Court held that advocacy or incitement must be likely to result in imminent harm before it can be constitutionally proscribed. Tsesis's book then proposes a model statute to criminalize "hate speech" based on the long-term harm such speech can cause.

In this Essay, I question the book's premise and its conclusion. My principal argument is that Tsesis misunderstands one of the underlying bases of the "imminent harm" requirement in Brandenburg. Rather than being premised on a view that speech cannot cause long-term harm, Brandenburg's "imminent harm" requirement is designed primarily as a prophylactic rule to prevent government from using a long-term harm rationale to suppress speech based on the government's view of truth. To support a law criminalizing speech, therefore, it is not enough to rely on the long-term harm that the speech can cause.

Attacking Brandenburg

...
With his kind permission I reprint Professor Desai's reply to my enquiry about the work of Alexander Tsesis.( Why is our government basing Canadian Human Rights Law on the work of a middling legal scholar whose profoundly flawed theory has brought him virtual anonymity in his own country?)
...

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm not aware of anyone else who has directly addressed Tsesis, in part because, as you imply, he is not particularly well-known here in the U.S. There was another review of his book in the Michigan Law Review by W. Bradley Wendel, who is now at Cornell Law School, although Professor Wendel doesn't address Tsesis as directly as I do: The Banality of Evil and the First Amendment, 102 Michigan Law Review 1404 (2004) (reviewing Alexander Tsesis, Destructive Messages: How Hate Speech Paves the Way for Harmful Social Movements).


However, here are a few suggestions of reading on the general topic that might be of help. A comprehensive book that addresses the broader issue is James Weinstein, Hate Speech, Pornography and the Radical Attack on Free Speech Doctrine (Westview Press, 1999).
Despite its title, it is not polemical at all and very carefully goes through and responds to many arguments in favor of hate speech prohibitions.

There is also a collection of essays entitled Speaking of Race, Speaking of Sex (NYU Press, 1994). It includes a fabulous piece by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. entitled "War of Words: Critical Race Theory and the First Amendment." Gates is the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard and probably the most prominent professor of African American Studies in the U.S. The piece was originally in The New Republic (Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, 1993) and its original title was "Let Them Talk."

There is also another excellent article in that book by Robert Post entitled "Racist Speech, Democracy, and the First Amendment". It was originally in the William & Mary Law Review- 32 WM. & MARY L. REV. 267 (1991).] Post is a law professor, then at Berkeley and now at Yale, and is universally viewed as among a handful of the finest constitutional law scholars in the United States. I can say unequivocally that all three of these scholars are far more prominent and respected than Tsesis, although again, I should emphasize that they don't directly address Tsesis's book (indeed, the pieces I'm mentioning are all written before Tsesis's book).


Sincerely yours,

Update: Bernie's Hate Speech Law Tribute Page is back on line.
....
My original take on the CJC's paean to Section 13 (1):

Oh Lordy, the CEEJ even cites Alexander "Specious" Tsesis, whose junk theories were debunked by Professor Anuj Desai on Bernie's new "Section 13 (1) is Good Cause I Said So" page.

The CJC's new "Hate Speech" page is every bit as specious as the arguments of Mr. Tsesis their legal champion.

First off the Taylor Decision it so righteously cites has been repeatedly abused by the CHRC in it's application of Section 13 (1). The Taylor decision initially saved Section 13 (1) by finding it minimally impaired Canadians’ rights providing the Act’s overriding objective of remediation and conciliation was observed. As the Lemire decision and other case histories have indicated the CHRC has moved well beyond remediation and conciliation in 13 (1)'s application, stretching its interpretation of Taylor from Shield into Sword. Of greater concern is that as the Macleans and Levant cases clearly illustrate Section 13 (1) is open to abuse by those whose goal is to promote a political agenda and limit political speech they disagree with. At further issue is that the HRC's themselves are open to infiltration and a variant of "regulatory capture", Ask EX-CHRC Staffer & current CJC Prez Mark Freiman about that;) Recent history has shown how Section 13 (1) and HRC's in general have been co-opted as dangerous political weapons, these lessons cannot be ignored or fluffed off as mere administrative failings as the CJC would wish.

According to the CJC the matter of Section 13 (1) & Free Speech only became news because of the attempts by various Human Rights Commissions to muzzle the press. The CJC conveniently ignores the attacks on religious freedom that have been conducted by the CHRC and continue to be waged by its provincial counterparts. They imply that because the cases against Mark Steyn/Macleans & Ezra Levant were dismissed that the system "works". Very few possess the resources and fortitude that Macleans and Levant were able to muster in their defense. What the CJC disingenuously fails to mention is that the accused under Section 13 (1) have the full weight of the state levied against them, they are not entitled to legal aid, and truth is not a defense, so onerous is the burden endured by the accused that the process itself is the punishment. That's a fine system - for North Korea and other such ratholes where state oppression is the norm, the CHRC had no right nor any business investigating either case to begin with and it was only when they had their nose bloodied by an outraged public that they decided to back off.

Naturally the CJC would omit mention that support for Section 13 (1) is limited to a very few special interest groups, among them are The Canadian Islamic Congress , a key player in the "political abuse" of Section 13 (1) , and perversely B'nai Brith, itself subject to a 5 year hearing under the "political abuse" of Manitoba's variant of 13 (1). Support for the outright repeal of Section 13 (1) on the other hand encompasses a broad range of institutions spanning the full spectrum of political ideology which includes: The Canadian Civil Rights Association, The BC Civil Rights Association, The Catholic Civil Rights League, The Canadian Constitution Foundation, The Canadian Centre for Policy Studies, Pen Canada, The Canadian Association of Journalists, Egale, The Catholic Women's League and virtually any newspaper you care to name. These institutions recognize what the CJC fails to acknowledge, that the danger of this law to our society is inherent to Section 13 (1) itself, that it is anti-democratic and subject to abuse as a bludgeon to silence political & religious belief and that no effort should be made to "tinker" with a statute that should never have been given life to begin with.


I will give the CEEJ credit however, they do a very nice job of laying out the differences between the prosecution of hate speech under the criminal code vs. prosecution of hate speech under Section 13 (1) of the CHRA. Under Section 13 (1) the accused has none of the protections afforded under due process perfectly illustrating that this odious law is nothing more than an attempt to sidestep the legal traditions that have served as the bedrock of democratic society. Thanks for that.

Oh, one other thing the CEEJ gets right - "To compare the situation of Germany in the 1920s and 1930s to present-day Canada is ludicrous." Truer words were never spoken.
