Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

 

 

In a case that is reminiscent of a Kansas City television anchor lady a few years ago who was fired from her job because she was ". . . too ugly, too old, and not deferential enough to men," we have another Canadian Human Rights Commission case described by reporter Naomi Lakritz in the December 31 issue of the Calgary Herald as ". . . rightly coming under fire for the way they do business."

 

This ten-year-old (!) "sex harassment" case was dismissed over the conduct of these so-called "Human Rights" commissions against the CBC ". . . because of the slipshod way it was handled."

 

This case is of interest to the Zundelsite censorship struggle because it is the ***second time*** that a judge has thrown out a case this busybody "Human Rights" outfit, pimping for the Politically Correct and Powerfully Connected, has handled by underhanded means.

 

With pleasure and delight, I quote selected passages:

 

*" "Not one to mince words, (Judge) Tremblay-Lamer, the wife of Canada's Chief Justice, tersely called the Canadian Human Rights Commission "biased" in its investigation. . . "

 

*" "Tremblay-Lamer isn't the first authority figure to cast a jaundiced eye upon the workings of such commissions. . ."

 

*" "Given that human rights commissions and tribunals exist in a gray area on the fringes of the justice system but wield tremendous power over individuals' lives, their potential for doing more harm than good makes it worthwhile asking whether they should exist at all . . ."

 

*" "The complaints they hear could . . . be handled far more efficiently and fairly in court. A court bases its verdict not on a politically correct agenda but on the evidence, something these quasi-kangaroo court tribunals don't have to do . . . "

 

*" "Tremblay-Lamer turfed the whole thing out and called the commission's report on the case "biased" because it had referred the matter to the tribunal with some important information omitted-- facts which could have poked quite a few holes in (the complainant's) case. . . "

 

*" "In short, Tremblay-Lamer ruled the commission had acted unfairly for it had forged ahead on nothing except (the complainant's) own allegations . . . "

 

* "Employers should breathe a sigh of relief that human rights commissions and tribunals are rightly coming under fire for the way they do business. That sigh should be a cautious one, however, for not enough cases have yet been unearthed, not enough protests raised to tip the balance in favour of limiting the power of these pseudo-courts. . . "

 

* "However, that may happen as more incidents end up in real courtrooms and more government officials . . . speak out about them. . . "

 

*" "(C)omplaints which may be completely unfounded . . . are in the end lent undeserved credence because a human rights tribunal prefers to err on the side of political correctness rather than fairness. . . "

 

*" "A (defendant) involved in such quasi-litigation has the right to unbiased treatment during the hearing and investigation of a complaint. . . "

 

*" "If fair play cannot be guaranteed and, indeed, isn't even written into the mandate of human rights bodies, then these organizations serve no useful, democratic purpose and should be abolished. . . "

 

*" "It's unlikely, given their present and increasingly sad state of affairs, that they'd be missed. . . "

 

Why am I telling you all this? Because these Marxist-flavored so-called "Human Rights" commissions are finally in trouble with the public - and with some members with brains in the media. These CHRCs and CHRTs are in deep doodoo, as a matter of public record and fact - just as Ernst predicted they would be before they would achieve their pyrrhic victory in the complex Zundelsite Internet censorship case.

 

Folks are beginning to see why. These folks are in desperate need of "villains" such as Zundel and the Zundelsite to ***justify*** what they are doing - and they are counting on winning the Zundelsite case to shore up their tarnished image and vanishing empire and bask in the limelight of having slain the Zundel Dragon on behalf of the Zionist Lobby at last.

 

No doubt these days they ask themselves with trepidation: "Where is the media maven who dares to say that Zundel might be right? Where is the judge who'll risk the ire of his Jewish golfing buddies and freebie trips to Israel by ruling in favor of Zundel?"

 

No wonder our enemies are fighting Ernst's pending judicial review motions claw, tooth and nail! No wonder the Zundel legal team is confident that, of the five judicial reviews now lodged, at least a few will be found justified - and possibly, just possible the entire rotten-to-the-core, expensive mess around the Zundelsite case will be aborted.

 

Will it happen?

 

Ernst says: "Not likely." I say: "Well, why not?"

 

Ernst says that his foes are just like a pack of hyenas - ten lawyers on their side against the two of Ernst's, with mountains of tax payers' and Canadian Jewish organizations' money against Ernst's modest private means, sustained by the nickels and dimes of his loyal supporters.

 

Ernst says that the odds are against him - because in Canada his name has been destroyed in a two-decades' long hellish media vilification campaign that poured buckets of slime on his hitherto clean reputation. Rare is the man or the woman who will stand by his side.

 

I say: Where is the harm inflicted by the Zundelsite? On Jews? On Canadian society? By a website not in Canada owned by a US citizen whose name is not Ernst Zundel?

 

Where is the evidence of provable "harm" to back up their vexatious claims? Not one of these arrogant Jewish spokesmen and groups who have busied themselves for decades destroying this one lone German, and who latched onto the Zundelsite case as a last-ditch effort to circumvent the laws of Canada, are willing to show up as witnesses to testify for their allegedly aggrieved side about their "suffering"!

 

Why don't they come and say: "Your Honor, look! Here is my bruise! Here's how the Zundelsite has hurt my feelings!"

 

Nothing doing! They know their accusations have no merit in fact or in law! The Tribunal itself has refused subpoenas to command them to appear and face Christie's cross-examination! It's all just a tangle of smoke screens and mirrors. It is mendacious cowardice writ large! It is about getting the state to silence a shrill minority's most outspoken political opponent - and hope to get away with it!

 

Do me a favor. Contact Naomi Lakritz at (403) 235-7134 or by e-mail at <lakritzn@theherald.southam.ca>

 

Tell her that you admire her for having called a spade a spade with her article about the Human Rights Commission's blatant human rights abuses.

 

Ask her to write an honest and in-depth assessment of what it means for Canada that TRUTH in Human Rights Commission hearings, involving documented matters of history, is no longer a defense.

 

Ask her to find out how much it has cost Canada to try yet one more time to run the Zundel "human-rights-for-Germans" campaign into the ground by using a government outfit to do a hatched job for Ernst's Zionist enemies what regular courts have refused to do - and what two pipe bombs and a horrendous arson couldn't do.

Thought for the Day:

 

"People like Nizkor, the CHRC lawyers and the intervenors are to Canada what the Ayatollah Khomeini was to Islam Fundamentalists."
