ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

October 25, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

As I was reading the article below, it occurred to me that Canada is 
ever more becoming the "New Israel", suggesting to the rest of the 
world how to think, how to feel, what to do.  Please note  the 
arbitrary, artificial tie-in between certain websites and "mail 
fraud," "sexually exploited children," "child molestation, "  "human 
trafficking," and "slave trade."

It is a well-known psychological principle that when you pair a 
neutral stimulus with a stimulus that triggers an emotional response, 
the previously "neutral" stimulus takes on the properties of the 
"loaded" stimulus in the minds of men and beast.

In Psychology 101 in college, every student learns that if you let a 
dog see and smell food, the dog begins to salivate.  If you pair the 
sight and smell of food with the sound of a bell, it does not take 
long to trigger the dog's saliva to the sound of a bell alone.

This happens only to conditioned dogs - not ever to dogs NOT exposed 
to the pairing.

If you pair the name of "David Duke", let's say, systematically with 
"Ku Klux Klan," pretty soon the name alone will trigger moral 
outrage.  If you pair the name Ernst Zundel with the disapproving 
"holocaust denier" label, automatically you think of Zundel when you 
hear somebody holding forth on "holocaust denial"  on some convenient 
pc soap box such as a mainstream paper.

Examples of this pairing abound.  It is not hard to grasp this 
concept - many people sense intuitively how and why such pairing is 
done.  Very few people, however, will spot when such pairing is 
conceived by design, refined by design, and repeated by design until 
it has conditioned a mind.

When you pair a website that might not offend by itself with a 
morally loaded label, some folks we know begin to salivate.  If 
people are conditioned to equate "hate websites" with the suggestion 
that "hate websites" connote "child molestation", for instance, it 
does not take long until it suffices to simply call a website a "hate 
site" - whether or not the label might fit - for people's minds to 
trigger the enraged response, "Molestation!"

Few people call that social engineering, but that is what it is.  It 
is malicious behavior control by means of systematically paired 
stimuli.

Watch what is happening below:

>Jewish organizations that track hatemongers are backing proposals by

>Leo Adler, Canadian spokesperson for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, 
>said proposals announced by Justice Minister Irwin Cotler will 
>address a phenomenon the centre has been monitoring for seven years 
>- the use of websites to promote hatred. Stronger government 
>measures that would address this growth would be welcomed by the 
>centre, Adler said.

>"The real difficulty won't be so much about Canadian-based sitesŠ 
>Most of the hatemongers find it extremely difficult to have hate 
>sites in Canada. If the legislation will make it an extraterritorial 
>crime, that certainly is welcome news," he said.
>
>Ed Morgan, president of Canadian Jewish Congress, said CJC has "long 
>been advocating that hate laws needed continuing bolstering, so 
>we're happy that the government is focusing on it."
>
>Although the minister did not specify how he planned to strengthen 
>Canadian law, his comment that he would encourage police departments 
>across Canada to set up specialized hate crimes units is a positive 
>step, Morgan said. While such police units generally come under 
>municipal or provincial jurisdiction, Morgan said it would make 
>sense if federal funds flowed to the new hate crimes units.
>
>Cotler announced the government's plans to beef up hate crimes 
>legislation in an interview with CanWest News Service.

>"We have to send out the message unequivocally, as a government and 
>as part of our shared citizenship and shared values, that our Canada 
>is one in which there will be no sanctuary for hate and no refuge 
>for bigotry," he said in the interview. "We will use all the panoply 
>of remedies to bring that about. Legal remedies, intercultural 
>dialogue, promotion of multiculturalism, anti-discrimination law and 
>policy. A national action plan against racism."
>
>Morgan suggested the minister was responding to an increase in 
>racist incidents in Canada and to a worldwide climate of 
>anti-Semitism. "I think it's a positive thing for him to be flagging 
>it on behalf of the government," he said.
>
>Adler suggested that to effectively address Internet hate, Canadian 
>law would have to criminalize activities that take place abroad, 
>such as Canadians setting up hate sites in other jurisdictions like 
>the United States. "There is a gradual coming together in the world 
>in terms of certain crimes that are deemed to be crimes regardless 
>of where they're done, as long as you have authority over the 
>person," he said. Adler cited the work of the International Criminal 
>Court and the British Privy Council ruling giving Britain 
>jurisdiction over former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as 
>examples.
>
>Other examples include the extradition of suspects from Canada to 
>the United States for mail fraud and laws against travelling abroad 
>to sexually exploit children, he added.
>
>Cotler also said the proposed legislation would outlaw human 
>trafficking, "the new global slave trade."
