Another dam breaks

Tonight, another dam breaks in the battle against the Canadian Human Rights Commission and its abusive censorship powers.

The Canadian Jewish News has done something I honestly never thought it would do. It ran a news story by staff reporter Paul Lungen, at some length, revealing the CHRC's dirty little secret: CHRC staff regularly go online and post hundreds of anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-gay "hate messages", all in the name of fighting hate. Here's the story.

I'm impressed and I'm surprised. (That's happening a lot these days!)

There are two major Jewish newspapers in Canada: the CJN, which tends to be more supportive of the Canadian Jewish Congress and has a liberal leaning, and the Jewish Tribune, which is the house organ of the B'nai Brith and tends to be more right-wing. For the CJN to publish such a balanced story is impressive, given their close orbit to the "Official Jews" of the CJC. And for them to break their silence on the neo-Nazi memberships of the CHRC is positively stunning. Again, here's the full story, and here's the startling excerpt:

The Lemire case has further discredited the Canadian Human Rights Commission, Levant asserted. Evidence at the hearing showed Commission staff went online to join neo-Nazi organizations where they posted hundreds of bigoted messages.

“The CHRC is a leading disseminator of anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-gay bigotry in Canada. In fact, I believe they’re the largest, and certainly the best-staffed and best-funded, hate group in Canada,” Levant said.

“It’s hard to believe, I know. I only found out about it because the CHRC had admitted to it under oath.

“In various Section 13 cases, CHRC employees and ex-employees have testified that they joined neo-Nazi organizations, like the U.S.-based Stormfront and Vanguard.”

Levant said the Tories would find support in all political parties for a move to rescind Section 13. Canadians from all ends of the political spectrum – including most Jews – would back such a move, he said.

According to the CJN's media kit, they have an audited circulation of 45,000 and a readership of about 170,000. If only a quarter of those readers read this story, that's still 40,000 Jews who will come face to face with facts that are, in my opinion, game-changing. The newspaper lands in mailboxes later this week.

As I've written before, a year ago if someone had told me that the CHRC employs government bureaucrats, on taxpayers' expense, to join U.S. neo-Nazi groups and publish countless bigoted messages, I would have called him a crazy conspiracy theorist and told him to get back on his meds. But then I did my research -- I read sworn testimony by CHRC staff, especially by Richard Warman, confessing to hundreds of such bigoted posts; and I went online to verify those bigoted posts with my own eyes.

To see these facts presented very fairly and objectively in the CJN is a huge landmark. It means we're now deep inside territory that would have been safe CHRC country a year ago. It means that even some Official Jews -- at least those writing and editing the CJN -- have come to realize that there is a sickness in the CHRC, and it has to be excised.

Today is a milestone -- it's worth two sirens, I think.
