The New York Times is filled with such weird ideologies that I can barely bring myself to read it. I did not even know that “Holocaust Relativism” was a new heresy (out-ranking “Climate Denial”). However, it is good to know that the murder of 60 million Christians by the Bolsheviks does not matter at all. Not at all. King’s College London has a PhD program in civil disobedience?? Oh, and Hallam’s climate ideology called for the total dissolution and depopulation of the West and never had to apologize.=====
[abstract]“British Environmental Activist Apologizes For ‘Crass’ Holocaust Remarks”, in New York Times, November 22, 2019. p. A9. Caption: Roiger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, trivialized the Nazi horros in an interview with the German weekly Die Zeit. In an interview with the German weekly Die Zeit, Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion said that saying mass murder has happened many times in history and in that context the Holocaust is almost a “normal” atrocity. Immediately, it was announced that his new book will not be sold in Germany, now. The German leader of Fridays for Future denounced him, as did German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas. The leaders of Extinction Rebellion-Germany called for the expulsion of Hallam from the movement. Extinction Rebllion-UK has also denounced Hallam. XR-Jews, the Jewish branch of Extinction Rebellion-UK, denounced Hallam and said such words could trigger a new Holocaust. Josef Schuster, president of he Central Council of Jews in Germany stressed that there is only one mass murder in history that is important and that is the unique Holocaust of the Jews; he noted that while it is important to attack climate deniers, Holocaust Relativiers like Hallam are just as bad.
The controversy comes as Extinction rebellion is moving to more confrontational tactics and even violence, like the recent attempt to paralyze the London Underground subway system.
Hallam, who paused his PhD program in civil disobedience at King’s College London to found Extinction Rebellion, apologized and said his comments were taken out of context. He said his intention had not been to downplay the Holocaust, but rather to downplay all other mass murders in history in comparison to the Holocaust.
GOOD NEWS: I’ve found a way to stop leftist bullies from cancelling conservative events!
November 19, 2019 — Ezra Levant:
Last month, left-wing bullies — including a university professor and an NDP politician — pressured a theatre into cancelling my book-signing event.
I had a contract with the theatre, I paid them in advance, everything was set to go. But then an online mob harassed the theatre owner until he breached his contract with me, cancelled the event and literally locked the doors.
So last week I sued him for breach of contract. (He still hasn’t even given me the money back for the theatre rental.)
But I did something new: I sued all of the bullies, too. At least the ones I could identify — the ones who were leading the mob on social media.
We’re suing them for inducing the breach of contract.
They knew we had a contract with the theatre; they helped cause the breach of the contract, and we lost thousands of dollars because of it. So that’s what’s new here. We’re not letting the mob go. We’ve identified members of the mob. And we’re suing them.
Read the lawsuit for yourself — it’s written in plain English. You can read it below. It was written by our great free speech law firm in Edmonton, as a way to preserve our freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of association. Those rights were trampled by the bullies — so we’re fighting back.
Right before he ripped up the contract with me, the theatre owner told me the threats against him were so bad, he was literally losing sleep over it. I still don’t think he should have cancelled it. But don’t you think someone has to tell those bullies they’re wrong?
If they don’t see it, maybe they need a judge to tell them. So we filed the lawsuit last week, and we’ve begun serving it on the bullies — who include a university professor and a former NDP politician.
I’ve just received our first bill from the law firm — it’s for $4,700. Obviously this trial will cost much more than that, probably more than $100,000 by the time it’s all done. We’re suing at least 12 people.
Obviously we’re not doing this to make money. We’re doing it to stop deplatforming in Canada — against us, against anyone, against you.
If you think this is a good idea, and want to help, please give us a hand to pay our lawyers. You can chip in right here on this page — ten dollars, a hundred dollars, whatever you can. We need the help, and I’d be very grateful.

The Prosecutor’s appeal for MORE jail time for Alfred speaking in court and showing how high his dog Pavlov can jump has not yet reached its conclusion. There were two days of court this past week, 2019 November 12 and 14. Alfred had begun his Last Word, but was not finished speaking. The Last Word is the one remaining “right” that the accused has in the German court. The accused may speak as long as he likes, unless it is deemed irrelevant.
Highlights (or Lowlights):
(Very brief notes, taken by memory at the end of the day by a member of the public and passed on to Henry Hafenmayer, posted in German here.)
Alfred’sappeal – of the guilty verdict (38 month jail sentence plus court costs) for “speech crimes”, handed down 26 October 2018 culminating the Schaefer Sibling trial – has been dismissed.
All paper and pens / pencils were confiscated from the public before entering the courtroom. This happened during our trial of 2018, but after a day or so this had been overruled. Not so this time. The prohibition on writing materials lasted both days. The public was NOT permitted to take any notes.
Alfred started out facetiously stating that he would not open his mouth in court, because every word he spoke was turned upside down on him.
Alfred asked questions of the witnesses: a bureaucrat, one of the judges, and the prosecutor from the 2018 trial. The bureaucrat was asked if she had an indoctrinated fear causing shock with regards to the “Hitler salute”. Alfred asked the prosecutor if she was familiar with the game Musical Chairs. She has been in the prosecutor’s chair, now she is in the witness chair. Could she imagine one day being in the accused chair?
Addressing the court: Alfred asked what or whom specifically did he incite.
I am an engineer, and engineers need to name, define, work things very concretely otherwise you are thrown out onto the street.
The prosecutor asked Alfred if murderers called him when they want to do a murder. A gasp went through the gallery. Prosecutor continued, are your followers leftists or rightwing?
Prosecutor’s Plaedoyer: Alfred is a very dangerous anti-semite and jew-hater, and he should receive 5 years jail time (put together for the various “crimes”).
Alfred’s Last Word
The presiding judge interrupted and warned that Alfred was doing new “speech crime” by denying the holocaust, and that new charges could be laid. This could be the perpetual “merry-go-round” – do a speech crime, go to jail, go to court, new speech crime in court, more jail, appeal, new speech crime in court, more jail, appeal again and on and on and on.
Within the first two hours of Day 2, three different people took the prosecutor’s chair. Musical chairs. Ho hum just another day on the job.
After the judge warned Alfred he was getting off topic (bringing up other lies such as moon landing and the global warming scam) and that his Last Word could be withdrawn, Alfred spoke about a burning house. If you see that a house is on fire and you are aware of the presence of children inside, you have two choices. You could walk away and pretend not to notice, or you could rescue the children, with the full knowledge that your life could be at risk in so doing. His job is to rescue the children, just as it is his job to rescue the people from the dangers of the Lies.
In jail, many prisoners are having fun raising their right arm. Some boast how high their dogs can jump, others indicate how high the snow drifts are in front of their doors.
Alfred read some letters, including one from this author, and another from a jewish man who thanked Alfred for having protected him from being mobbed. This negates the prosecutor’s allegation that Alfred is a dangerous jew-hater.
Court will resume 2019 November 21.
A reminder to the reader: Letters or cards are always appreciated. Alfred’s address is Stadelheimer Str 12, 81549 Munich, Germany. More information on writing to political prisoners in Germany in this article.
Earlier this afternoon, Judge Katherine Blake of the US District Court for the District of Maryland dismissed all my claims against the SPLC, Heidi Beirich, and Marc Potok. Judge Blake’s memorandum opinion is attached below.
Although Judge Blake’s opinion is 17 pages long, only a few pages provide substantive legal analysis. The essence of that analysis is this: 1) all my state law claims are disguised defamation claims and are therefore subject to defamation claim defenses such as the opinion doctrine, i.e., the SPLC, Beirich, and Potok merely made statements about me that cannot be verified as true or false or merely expressed their opinion and are protected; and 2) I failed plausibly to allege that the SPLC defendants committed illegal or unethical acts.
I find both propositions flagrantly flawed. I alleged numerous claims that cannot properly be characterized as defamation claims, including, for example, a negligent supervision claim that the court hardly addressed at all. And to say I did not plausibly allege illegal and unethical conduct by the SPLC in accordance with federal “plausibility” pleading standards for a motion to dismiss distorts that standard beyond recognition. The court states, for example, that I did not plausibly allege that the SPLC defendants bribed or otherwise improperly induced a National Alliance employee to turn over confidential documents. But my complaint describes in detail who was bribed or induced and when, the circumstances surrounding those events, and why they were illegal and / or unethical. The court essentially is requiring me to plead full and detailed evidentiary facts, but I cannot do that without discovery, i.e., document requests and depositions. This is not the proper pleading standard.
We live in an upside down world, so I had steeled myself for an unfavorable result. I am nonetheless disappointed in the manifest infirmity of Judge Blake’s opinion. I do not feel my claims got a fair shake.
I will appeal to the Fourth Circuit. My co-counsel, Fred Kelly, is just as defiant as I am. I will of course keep you apprised as the appeal progresses. For your continued support I am continually grateful. Here again is my website for donation purposes: https://breathing-space-for-dissent.com/
Thank you for staying with me on this endeavor. Our choices, it seems to me, are either to lie supinely on our backs or to stand on our feet and fight. You have taken the second option with me and I’m grateful for that.

Several dozen supporters of free speech from a number of groups, including the Canadian Association for Free Expression, the Canadian Nationalist Party and the Yellow Vests, rallied in support of fired broadcaster Don Cherry Saturday afternoon. The protest took place outside Rogers HQ, which owns Sportsnet and which fired the controversial broadcaster for pointing out last weekend that immigrants, who feast off Canada’s milk and honey and freedoms, should honour the veterans who fought to preserve these rights. Under the old Red Ensign, the flag of the Real Canada, they called for the reinstatement of this iconic hockey and broadcasting legend. Mr. Cherry is the latest victim of the “cancel culture” of political correctness.
Signs denounced corporate cowardice, the intolerant cancel culture and called for defunding the far leftist Canadian Broadcasting Agency that leeches over $1-billion a year to pump Cultural Marxist propaganda into our living room.
It was greatly to my disgust that I learned, yesterday, that Sportsnet
had fired the legendary Canadian institution, Don Cherry, over remarks
he made on Coach’s Corner this past weekend. Here is what he said on
Saturday:
“You know, I was talking to a veteran. I said ‘I’m not going to run
the poppy thing anymore because what’s the sense? I live in Mississauga,
nobody wears — very few people wear a poppy. Downtown Toronto, forget
it! Downtown Toronto, nobody wears a poppy.’
He says, ‘Wait a minute, how about running it for the people that buy them?’
Now you go to the small cities, the rows on rows.
You people love — that come here, whatever it is — you love our way of
life, you love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of
bucks for a poppy. These guys paid for your way of life, the life you
enjoy in Canada. These guys paid the biggest price.
Anyhow, I’m going to run it again for you great people and good Canadians that bought a poppy.”
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it needed to be said, and kudos to Grapes for saying it.
Of course, the lily-livered whiners, the woke snowflake mob, got all
triggered by the words “you people” and started throwing conniptions.
(See the opening scenes of the 2000 Farrelly Brothers film Me, Myself and Irene
staring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger for a hilarious satire of those
who read all sorts of ridiculous things into just this phrase).
For a day and a half these modern day Salomes were all over the social
media demanding that Don Cherry’s head be given them on a platter.
Corrupt mainstream media outlets, such as the CBC which for decades
carried Hockey Night in Canada in which Coach’s Corner was featured,
provided them an additional platform to make these demands. Finally,
on Remembrance Day, the sniveling scoundrels at Sportsnet, issued a
statement about how Cherry’s patriotic call to respect and honour our
veterans was “divisive remarks that do not represent our values or what
we stand for” and so he would no longer be appearing on their program.
In an interview with Joe Warmington, Cherry said that this was not a
problem and that “I know what I said and I meant it. Everybody in
Canada should wear a poppy to honour our fallen soldiers.”
Amen.
This is exactly how everybody ought to respond when some politically
correct mob takes offence at his words and calls them “racist”, “sexist”
or some other of the growing list of -ists and -phobics. If there
were more of these refusals to grovel and apologize, there would be a
lot less of these politically correct mobs.
Mr. J. Cassils, Principal
Stonewall Collegiate Institute,
297 5 St W, Stonewall, MB R0C 2Z0
Dear Mr. Cassils: I write to protest your suspension of
Natalie Salisbury and another student for a pamphlet they published outlining their support for the traditional red and black poppy instead of a rainbow poppy to commemorate Remembrance Day. The facts, as we understand them, are as follows: 1. Natalie Salisbury, 17, and a friend unnamed in media reports, are students at
Stonewall Collegiate Institute
2. Her music teacher urged the school orchestra to wear rainbow poppies for the school Remembrance Day ceremonies. She told LifeSite News:
“It all started when teachers, counselors, and some students said we
should wear the rainbow poppy … ” Natalie said, adding that she
disagreed. “I typed up papers on a computer, printed them off, and taped
them up in the halls.”
3. Natalie and her friend refused and put up posters explaining her reasons, chiefly that the LGBTQ community had a whole month dedicated to them. 4. She was called to the principal’s office and suspended for “hate speech.” When she tried to record the suspension order on her cellphone, it was seized. She was warned that reporting the incident on social media would lead to further consequences. I want to protest the bullying of this student by the school administration. The accusation of “hate speech” is outrageous. I have provided support and advice at numerous human rights hearings. The accusation of “hate speech” in legal terms can only be made if a person has been charged, tried and convicted for “wilful promotion of hate” against one of a number of privileged groups under Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code (the “hate law”). Clearly, Ms Salisbury has never been convicted. The accusation of “hate speech” is inflammatory and intimidating. The accusation usually tells one more about the accuser than the impugned speech. “Hate speech” is speech the accuser hates. It is ironic that Natalie Salisbury’s right to free speech, to express herself in decent terms on an issue of the day, was throttled in regards to Remembrance Day, the very day on which we honour those who fought in the belief they were securing our rights and freedoms. Your behaviour was shameful. You owe the two young women an apology. Sincerely yours,
Paul Fromm Director p.s. I phoned the school at 2:00 p.m. Manitoba time on Friday to try to obtain your correct e-mail address. The phone rang for a very long time but there was no answer nor was the call directed to an answering machine.
Ursula Haverbeck, nominated the grand Dame of German Revisionism by the late Prof. Robert Faurisson, “celebrated” her 91st. birthday in prison. Yes, you read that correctly: Frau Ursula Haverbeck is ninety one years of age and she finds herself incarcerated in a prison cell, charged and found “guilty” of questioning the allegation of the so-called “Holocaust”, the allegation that the Germans during the Second World war murdered millions of Jews in homicidal gas-chambers. For expressing her non-violent opinions on aspects of the history of the Second World War which she herself lived through as a teenager, the current ruling establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, in its viciousness, has locked this 91 year old up in a prison cell in an attempt to silence her.
On
Saturday, the 9th. November, the very day of Ursula Haverbeck’s 91st.
birthday, hundreds of German nationalists, patriots and friends,
well-wishers and admirers of the grand Dame of German Historical
Revisionism marched through the centre of the north German town of
Bielefeld where Ursula is imprisoned. With great gusto we paraded with
flags flying and with banners held high proclaiming Ursula Haverbeck to
be a Heroine for Germany and demanding Truth and Justice for Germany.
The authorities gave us permission to hold a public rally right in the
centre of Bielefeld. There was of course a large contingent of Police
present. And there were of course large numbers of demented Lefties
shouting their usual obscenities. However our loud-speaker system
drowned out all that Sound and Fury signifying nothing (Shakespeare’s
Macbeth). Our rally lasted the best part of two hours; right in the
centre of town; the traffic was stopped; the trams ceased running; and
we held our rally without any interruption. Here is the translation of
the speech that I gave on this historic occasion:
“Dear German friends, my name is Richard Edmonds, I am British.
“I have travelled here to Bielefeld to show solidarity with the very brave patriot, Ursula Haverbeck, whom I have known for many years.She is a wonderfully brave campaigner for the honour of Germany and now this fine woman must “celebrate” her 91st. birthday in prison. Shocking. Ursula Haverbeck, an educated and cultivated woman, has posed questions regarding the topic of the “Holocaust”; she has posed the most serious questions, forensic, scientific, objective questions. And for this, she finds herself on her 91st. birthday in jail here in Bielefeld.
“Yes.
I know , we are in the Federal Republic. In order to make the situation
clear, I will refer to the trial that took place in Mannheim in 2003,
the trial brought against the German-Canadian, Ernst Zundel, yet another
individual charged with “Holocaust”-denial. At Zundel’s trial, the
presiding judge, Dr. Ulrich Meinerzhagen, found himself obliged to state
in the open court, and I quote him: ‘It is completely irrelevant
whether the “Holocaust” took place or not. It is the act of denial of
the “Holocaust” which is a crime. And that is all that matters in this
court.’ : Presiding Judge Dr. Meinerzhagen.
“Here
with absolute modesty can I (R.Edmonds) state that in Great Britain and
in the United States of America, we have complete Freedom of Speech on
the subject of the “Holocaust”; this means that every type of question
may be posed on this topic; and eveyone has the right to publish answers
which are based on forensic, scientific, objective facts.
“As
a guest here in Germany, I can only quote the former, now retired,
judge sitting on the supreme court in Germany, the Constitutional Court,
Judge Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem:
‘I
would not make the questioning of the Holocaust a criminal offence.’
Judge Hoffmann -Riem, July 2008 (Der Tagesspiegel, 10. July 2008)
“Finally,
dear friends. I would like to quote the famous German hero, Ulrich von
Huten, who five hundred years ago, said: ‘Germany is there, where strong
hearts are beating.’ Thank you.” FINIS.
Finally
let me make this comment: one does have to wonder if a change is now
taking place in the Federal Republic of Germany, set up as it was by the
western Allies at the end of the Second World War, the twin in fact of
the Communist regime set up in Eastern Germany by the forces of the
Soviet Union. How else might one explain the readiness of the
authorities to give permission for this “Birthday celebration” right in
the centre of the town where Ursula Haverbeck is held prisoner in the
local jail ? The activity must have cost the town a great deal of money;
vast numbers of Police were employed, and the centre of the town was
effectively shut down for the afternoon: what with several hundred
Nationalists and possibly as many as two thousand Lefties plus large
numbers of Police officers, the result was that no trams were running
through the town, no cars or delivery vehicles, access to the main-line
railway station was barred for a time, little business could have been
conducted that day; all this was predictable, but permission was given,
in spite of counter-pressure from the usual suspects, permission was
given for the go-ahead. A historic week-end. A privilege to be there.
No doubt, you’ve heard of Dr. Greg Johnson’s recent arrest and deportation from Norway that occurred prior to his scheduled speech at this year’s Scandza Forum in Oslo. The outcome was far better than we feared. Johnson was not banned from Schengen. He was not even banned from Norway. Moreover, significant questions have arisen regarding the actual legal circumstances under which Johnson was arrested. While it’s plainly obvious that this arrest was political, not much attention has been paid to the murky mechanisms by which Johnson was actually placed into custody.
News broke of Johnson’s arrest almost immediately after it occurred on Norwegian news outlets, specifying that police arrested him under Section 106 of the Norwegian Immigration Act. Confusion over what actually happened begins here: 106 only details the reasons for which a foreign national may be expelled on the grounds that they have deliberately provided false information or otherwise evaded the normal process of entering the country. Johnson did none of those things: He did not arrive in Norway with a fake passport, having committed a crime, or having attempted to dodge a connection elsewhere inside of an airport. This detail – which is being mostly overlooked by those glancing at one of the many news articles on the incident and satisfied by seeing some kind of legal statute pertaining to this incident referenced – was mentioned by Johnson’s lawyer, John Christian Elden.
In an interview withScandza organizer Fróði Midjord, Elden stated that Johnson was taken into custody by police under Section 126 of the same act. This particular statute makes allowances for the government of Norway to order the removal of any person for “fundamental national interests” and “foreign policy considerations” as they relate to a particular individual’s visit to Norway. In Johnson’s case, this statute was invoked on account of the false allegation that he expressed support for Anders Behring Breivik’s terrorist attacks in 2011.
Because of this, Johnson was not truly “arrested” in the sense of the word we usually understand in the West. He was taken into custody immediately outside the Scandza Forum venue under rules that pertain to immigration, not criminal offenses. It’s curious that he wasn’t stopped at the airport, where such things generally take place. Officially, Dr. Johnson was placed under “detention, pending removal,” which the government has argued does not actually qualify as arrest or deportation – despite the fact that Johnson was being held inside a detention facility and forced to either accept a flight out of the country on behalf of the government or purchase one himself. The government also argues that he was not actually jailed, since the facility that Johnson was held inside is administered by the police, and not corrections officers, per the regulations set forth in the statute he was arrested under. Because of this, the Norwegian government almost explicitly admits that Johnson’s presence in Norway was not a crime, nor was the means by which he entered the country.
While Johnson is an obvious target for persecution, the rest of us would do well to observe a few rules while traveling internationally in order to avoid troubling situations like this one, especially within Europe and Anglophone North America:
Generally speaking, signing out of your social media accounts on your cell phone and encrypting your computer’s hard drive, if you are carrying one, will make it more difficult for governments to deny you entry on the basis of national security or claim that you are attempting to radicalize their populations.
Avoid carrying sensitive materials, such as literature or propaganda, in your luggage.
Always be forthcoming, but not overly explanatory, about your itinerary and intentions in the countries you visit. A simple “I’m on holiday” to customs and immigration officers works wonders.
You’ll often be asked with whom you are staying on your first night. Beyond that, however, avoid mentioning the names or locations of those you are visiting.
As always, be vigilant in public.
In the event you are detained or otherwise held up at a border, your country’s consulate will most likely be helpful in your endeavors, sometimes to a surprising degree, even if it is to assist you in your return home or to retrieve documents like passports from other authorities.
