Dear Free Speech Lover,
I, Arthur Topham and my website www.RadicalPress.com are in the midst of a legal battle with the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada over the issue of freedom of speech.
On November 20, 2007 I received confirmation from the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) that the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada (BBC) and its British Columbia representative, Harry Abrams, had co-joined to file a “complaint” with the CHRC on August 14, 2007 citing the infamous “Section 13” of the Canadian Human Rights Act, a specious and vague piece of legislation which states:
13. (1) It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to cause to be so communicated, repeatedly, in whole or in part by means of the facilities of a telecommunication undertaking within the legislative authority of Parliament, any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination. [bold mine]
As this legislation was not all-inclusive enough for the “entrapment” purposes which the Zionist lobbies had in mind, immediately following the 9/11 attack and Canada’s hastily formulated Anti-terrorism Act, c.41 (passed December 18th, 2001) they were able to successfully lobby for the additional inclusion into Sec. 13(1) of the following “Interpretation(2)” which reads:
Interpretation
(2) For greater certainty, subsection (1) applies in respect of a matter that is communicated by means of a computer or a group of interconnected or related computers, including the Internet, or any similar means of communication, but does not apply in respect of a matter that is communicated in whole or in part by means of the facilities of a broadcasting undertaking. [bold mine]
This Interpretation(2) of Sec. 13(1) was precisely what the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress were waiting for. Now they had the legal pretext within which they could begin their assault upon any individual or group or website which they felt was a threat to the national interests of the state of Israel or its ideology, Zionism.
Using Section 13(1) and its Interpretation(2), B’nai Brith Canada stated in its complaint to the CHRC:
“The premise of this complaint is a contention that Arthur Topham and Radicalpress.com contrive to promote ongoing hatred affecting persons identifiable as Jews and/or as citizens of Israel.” [bold is mine]
In other words, these Jewish Lobby groups feel that it should be a “hate crime” to criticize a the foreign nation known as Israel. That is the unique precedent they are hoping to establish in this complaint to the CHR Commission.
The basis for the B’nai Brith Canada complaint was a series of 18 articles posted on RadicalPress.com. For purposes of this request I am short-listing an assortment of those cited below.
